OBITUARY Miss Marie Jahn Concerning the death of Miss Ma- rie Jahn, aged 13, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Jahn and formerly of this city the St. Augustine Record of Monday, June 7 said: From St. Augustine’s fair garden of childhood the Creator plucked one of its fairest flowers when he called little Marie Jahn on Sunday morning. As lovable in character as she was attractive in person this beautiful child was a favorite with all who knew her, and the poignant sense of the loss of a very dear one is not confined to the circle of her family, but is limited only to the number of friends and acquaintances. The grief of her parents, who idolized her, has crushed them, and cannot be meas- ured in expressions. About mid-day Wednesday the child complained for the first time of an illness which probably began several days earlier. She was busily engaged with her school work, prior to the closing exercises and bravely conceal- ed symptoms of illness until her ex- aminations were over and vacation be- gan. Her illness developed with un- usual swiftness and by Wednesday her condition was serious. Friday morning her condition became so alarming that the attending physician decided that an immediate operation for appendicitis was_imperative. She was removed to Dr. Worley's sanitari- the extension of the company’s busi- tion was performed. The result seem. ed satisfactory and she appeared to be progressing favorably until noon on Saturday, when a change in her condition was noted. Despite every effort of medical science she sani rapidly until 8 o'clock Sunday morn- ing when her pure and innocent spirit winged its flight to its Heavenly home. The funeral takes place this after- noon at 4 o'clock from Grace M. B. church and the interment will be made at Evergreen cemetery. An escort of her intimate girl friends and her classmates will at- tend the funeral. Many beautiful floral tributes covered the casket. Attended Optical Society Meeting, J. F. March has returned from an auto trip to Southbridge, Mass., where about 50 members of the American Optical society held their quarterly meeting. After the meeting a banquet was served and the members were shown through the different depart- ments of the factory. ed and Rules Adopted. For-a few minutes after the com- mon council adjourned on Thursday evening, the democratic members stood around in_little groups as if a Zep- pelin had dropped a bomb among them, discussing the catastrophe that had placed the control of the water board in the hands of the republicans by the election of Councilman William S. Murray as the member of the board from the council. Then they sep- arated to continue the discussion and answer questions as they were met by citizens on the street. This was not the only surprise of this first meeting of the council since the election of Monday which gave the two parties an equal representation among the aldermen and councilmen; but on other questions the party lines held, with Mayor T. C, Murphy ex- ercising his right to vote, and making it possible for the democrats to mus- ter seven votes to six for the repub- licans. But on_the question of elect- ing a member of the water board, there was a breaj in the democratic ranks and the republican candidate was chosen, Mayor Murphy called the council meeting to order at 8.35 o'clock, having been delayed somewhat by the non- arrival of some of the republican mem- ber: Sheriff George W, Rouse seat- ed the members in order, as follow: Aldermen Henry Gebrath, M. H. Hou igan, Casper K. Bailey and George H. Loring, and Councilmen John R. Fowler, William J. Kramer, Milo R. Waters, ugh Kinder, William S. Mur- ray, Telley E. Babcock, William F. Bailey and Walter F. Lester, New Members Sworn In. Aldermen Bailey and Loring were sworn in by the mayor, and the same was done with the four newly elected councilmen, Messrs. Murray, Babcock, Bailey and Lester, all standing in front of the desk and being escorted back to their seats by City Sheriff Rouse after being sworn in. On motion of Alderman Henry Gebrath, Stephen D. Moore was made temporary clerk for the evening in the absence of the newly elected clerk, Ar- thur G, Crowell Committees Named. Mayor Murphy announced the com- mittees for the year as follows: Finance—The Mayor, Alderman Gebrath and Councilman Kinder. Public Works—Alderman Hourigan, Councilmen Kramer and Bailey Fire—Alderman Bailey, Councilmen Kramer and Waters. Auditing—Alderman Loring, cilmen Lester and Babcock. Police. Department—Alderman _Ge- brath, Councilmen Fowler and Mur- ray Amusement — Alderman Loring, Councilmen Lester and Babcock. - Mayor Advises Economy. The committees were approved on motion of Alderman Gebrath, and Mayor Murphy addressed the council as follows: Gentlemen of the Court of Common Council: It is indeed a great pleasure for me tonight to address this body at the commencement of the fiscal year of 1915-1916. During my term of office I have found that the ordinary running expenses of our city have increased from year to year. We, therefore, a servants of the people, should be very economical in our administration and see that the citizens get dollar for dol- Iar, The estimates that were made by the finance committee for the approval of the citizens were only the actual ordinary expenses of running the dif- ferent departments of the city as they now exist, which amounts to an eleven mill tax. I hope that the various committees will use their best judgment in the expending of money that is appropri- ated for them at the city meeting, and endeavor not to exceed the appropria- tion granted for their use. This will not be an ecasy task be- cause in years gone by from time to time unforeseen things have come up that exceeded the appropriations Coun- ~ RIFT IN DEMOCRATIC RANKS Gives Republicans Majority on Water Board When Council Elects William S. Murray as Representative—But Party Vote Kept Street Commissioner Lillibridge in Office— Dr. E. J. Brophy Succeeds Dr. N. B. Lewis as Health Of- ficer—Fire Chief Stanton Re-elected—Committees Nam- granted for the use of the different departments. It, therefore, rests with you and me to pull together and use our every offort to keep within the appropria- tions granted at the next city meeting. Rules Adopted.

Writting Was Illegible, ‘When the vote was taken the first time one name was so illegibly writ- ten that the mayor could not make it out and he had a second vote taken before declaring any résult. ‘When the mayor had looked over the votes, he spoke up and said he wish- ed the gentlemen would write better so he could read the names. Taking one ballot in his hand he said that that looked like ‘‘Horns” to him, the best he could make it out. He handed it to Sheriff Rouse and asked him what he made out of it. The sheriff said it looked like “James H.” but he could not finish the name and Mayor Mur- phy said there would have to be an- other vote taken, Cemetery Superintendent Again.
