Peter Timm, C. H. Ford twenty-five others petitioned for the opening of Sixteenth street from Vinton to the south city limits. A fow more petitions were read by the clerk, and then Mr. Morearty fired a bomb- shellinto the republican side of the counal moving that the council adjourn antil Suturday night. In amoment the council chamber, from the president’s desk to the most remote corner of the lobby, was in the wildest confusion “Adjourn! Adjourn!” yelled the demo- crats “No! No! Let ustransact tho business of this session and stop our foolishness,’ echoed the republicans. The motion toadjourn was put and declared carried. *“Roll call! republicans, ‘“Yes, give them the roll call” said the democrats, The roll was called, eight members voting Uyea,” and eight ‘‘nay.” “*We aro short oue democrat,” remarked Mr. Morearty, as he looked aboat the room and discovered that Mr. Mudsen was absent, while President Lowry remarked that the motion to adjourn was lost. The regular order of business was taken up, and as peace once more hovered about the room the clerk procedeed toread from the papers that lay upon his desk, C. 1. Taylor and a number of other prop- crty owners petitioned the council to sup- press a numbier of boys who insist upon breaking glass out of the windows, The chief of police was instructed to look after the lads. A resolution by Mr. Tuttle, that Twenty- ninth streetin MeCormick's addition be sold and the proceeds paid overto the adjoining property owners, was adopted. The architectof the ity hll was instructed to at once prepare his detailed plans for the interior of the building and file the same with the comptroller not later than the 26th of the present month. Just then Mr. Madsen, member who had been absent ning of the session, entered s scat & ripple of 'smiles passed over the 25 of his democratic brethren, The council resolved itself into a board of equalization, with Mr. Biumer in the chair, The commitiee reported that its work nad been completed, and that It consisted in_the flading of §6,28 of proprty that had e caped theassessor,andthay this had incres the assessed valuation of the city to $19, Roll eall,”” shouted the eight the democratic at the begin- and as he took 00, - “The report was accepted, and as the board dissolved the regular business of the council was resumed.

The motion wis seconded by & member from the democratic side. Mr. Bechel argued that the appointment was made by the mayor, and asit_ had been confirmed by a majority Vote it could not be reconsidered, Mr, Olson argued for barmony and urged that whilc the confirming of Giberson might not have been logal, the best thing would be to let it drop forthe present. Prosident Lowry remarked that City At- torney Poppleton ~had expressed an opinion upon the subject. *“That is so,”” remarked Mr. Olson, ‘“‘but some may doubt his correctness.” The vote was talcen and the vote appoint- ing Giberson was reconsidered by a straight party vote. **Now," said Mr. Moriorty, “I move that the appointment of Ed. Giberson be cou- firmed.” A vote was reached and Giberson was con- firmed by a voteof 10 for and 7 against. Mr, Bechel entered a protest against the vote being recorded. Mr. Tuttle moved a reconsideration of the vote by which the contirmation of Charles MeDonald, as clerks of the police court, was defented. “Tho vote to recousidar was' car- ried. Mr, Bechel protested, arguing thatas the confirmation was defeated Tuesday night, another nomination must be sent in by the mayor. The protest was overruled and McDonald's appointment was confirmed, the demoerats voting “‘aye,’ “and the republicans “nay.’ After this the council reconsidered all of the busimess transacted at the all night ses- sion held last week, while the republican members protested and declared that that was evidence of the meeting being illegal and fraudulent, Mr. Morearty moved that the president ex- amine the journal of the lust regutar and the last special mecting and reportat the next rogulur meeting.

Charles Connoyer, the secrotary of the board of education, expected to go to Lincoln yesterday for the purpose of submitting to tho Douglas county delegation tho amended school law, governing the independent school district of the city of Omaha. Mr. Connoyer did not go, however. Night after night the members of the board burned the midnight oil preparing the amendments, and at the board meeting Mon- day night the new law was declared perfect and adopted by a unanimous vote of the board. That there might be no doubt about the legal phrases, the bulky document was sub- mitted to Lee Hstelle, the board's legal ad- vise Tuesday night he spent several hours in 1ook- ing the proposed amendments over, to con- tinuehis work at an early hour terday moruing.
