Yesterday's city election for the selection of a councilman from each ward, whilelively fn some respects, did not arouse interest enough to bring out more than half of the voting population of the eity. With the exception of the Fourth, Seveuth, Ninth and Sixth, there was but little enthusi asm in the fight, and the polls were practically deserted, save for the few trusty patriots raved the elements in the interests of andidutes. sather was fearfully disagreeable, and people hurriedly passed the polls, appar ently not aware tiat un tion was in pro- gross, the result of which would materially aite the complexion of tho city council reatest int 1 in the Fourth, enth and Ninth where Wheeler, Chaffco and Davis, le of the council combine, were up for reclection, In the Fourth Wheeler had alosing fight from the start, and was be majonty.

P, Davis, a deputy clerk, who has been pocketing money by this fugenious stylo of theft for the past four or flve years, his total stealings amounting to several thousand dollurs. When Clerk O'Connor discovered the robbery he was so enraged that he attacked Davis with his fists and 80 disabled him that he now in the city hospital though unacr arrest. It was part of the duty of Davis to issue certificates to all jurors and he has been the habit of making a large number of certificates for jurors’ focs in the names of fictitious parties, petting them cashed at the county treasurer's oftice through some court official who pre- tended to be drawing for a panal. e Depositors Given Dae Bills, Puttaverenn, Dee. 2.~The run on the Keystone bank continues today with unabat- od vigor.

This caused Alderman Oakley to make some startling statements in opposition to the proposition. He begged that the seheme should remain buried where it is. Ho said that bribes had been offered to him to vote for it and he bad no doubt that almost every other inan on the board had also been approached in the snme way.
