crowded to its fullest capacity. Messrs.

efficient employes have tendered the use
of the house gratis, and as the attraction
is an exceptionally strong one the “boy s”

heavier in pocket as a result of the bene-

The committee on licenses and assess-
ments submitted a resolution that the
tax collector be instructed to turn over
to the attorney all deeds held by the city
for property accruing to the city for de-
linquent taxes and that the attorney in-
stitute suit for possession. Adopted.
The committee on lighting public
streets and buildings submitted three
bids, as follows: From David Hall and
associates; arc lights, 2000 candle pow-
er, $12.45 per light, per month of 25
nights; 200 candle power, $10.30 per
month. Incandescent, 20 candle power,
$28 per annum of 300 nights.
Brush Electric Light Company: Arc
light, 2000 candle power, $9.99 per
month of 27-8 nights. For incandescent
light of 16 candle power, to be substitu-
ted for each of the 208 street gas lights,
$23.88 per light per annum of 300 nights,
or $1.99 per month of 27-8 nights. In-
candescent lights for public buildings,
$900 per annum.
Galveston Gas Company: For gas,
$2.25 per ■ month of 25 nights, and
$2.50 per 1000 feet for pub-
lic buildings. Arc electric lights of
2000 candle power, $10 per light per
month of 27 nights. Incandescent lights
of 30 candle power, $2.50 per light per
month of 27 nights The committee
which had fallen into the error of sup-
posing that the bid of the Electric Light
company was for but 25 nights per month
instead of 27, reported that it found the
bid of the Galveston Gas company the
cheapest, and the pathway of the coun-
cil seemed clear before it, but Col.Sinclair
put it all at sea again by explaining that
the Electric Light company’s bid was for
27-8 nights per month. Then the aider-
men looked at each other with a kind of
here’s-more-trouble-for-us stare, but Ai-
derman Goldthwaite was soon on his feet
to state that he had made the startling
discovery that the bid of the
Gas company for incandescent lights was
the cheapest. Aiderman Hughes then
rose up and startled the council by mov-
ing that the bid of that company for in-
candescent lights be accepted. It sterns
that the council advertised for bids for
incandescent lights of 16 candle power.
The Electric Light company bid $1.99 per
month for 16 candle power, while the
Gas company bid $2.50 for 30 candle
power, and Colonel Sinclair very natur-
ally objected to such a flagrant violation
of good faith. If the council wanted 30
candle power instead of 16 why was it
not advertised that all bidders might have
an equal chance Aiderman Goldthwaite
grew uneasy in his chair and somewhat'
choleric and suggested with an attempt
to be sarcastic that he would like to hear
from the other bidders. Mr. Hall ad
dressed the council for himself and un-
known associates, while Mr. Beck did
the honors for the Gas company. Aider-
man Cuney thought the first thing to be
determined was what kind of a light was
wanted and spoke in favor of the arc
light. Then there was confusion worse
confounded and every man talked to his
neighbor with both hands. Aiderman
Weis spoke for the arc light, and Aider-
man Goldthwaite was positive that the
Gas company’s 30 candle power incan-
descent illuminator was what the patient
tax-payer was yearning for. The mo-
tion to accept the Gas company’s
bid was put and lost by a vote of 7 yeas
and four nays. Then the council took a
fresh breath, spit on its hands, hitched
up its trowsers and went at it again. Al-.
derman McDonald, wanted to readvertise.
Thought that if this course was pursued
one of the companies would furnish
lights gratis and throw in a tea store
chromo and a wooden clock. Aiderman
Sherwood moved to recommit. Objected
to. Aiderman Weis moved to accept the
arc system. Lost. Sherwood renewed
his motion to recommit, lost, and with a
sigh the council turned to
NEW BUSINESS.
The following presiding officers of
election and polling places for the coming
city election were then named by the

afternoon after which the council ad-
journed and the hungry alJermen rushed
home to dinner.

What True Merit Will Do.
The unprecedented sale of Boschee’s
German Syrup within a few years, has
astonished the world. It is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
Lung troubles. It acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by Physicians, as it does
not dry up a Cough and leave the dis-
ease still in the system, but on the con-
trary removes the cause of the trouble,
heals the parts affected and leaves them
in a purely healthy condition. A botr.le
kept in the house for use when the dis-
eases make their appearance, will save
doctor’s bills and a long spell of serious
illness. A trial will convince you of
these facts. It is positively sold by all
druggists and general dealers in the land.
Price, 75 cts., large bottles.

The city council met in regular session
last evening, a full board present except-
ing Aiderman Schneider.
A communication was read from Mayor
Fulton vetoing a resolution passed at the
last meeting ordering the different de-
partments to keep their regular monthly
expenses within a twelfth of the entire
amount appropriated. The mayor ar-
gued that such a course was impractic-
able as it was necessary iu some of the de-
partments to expend much more in the
summer than the winter months. He
further advised that no contract should
be made for the removal of garbage but
after the expiration of the present con-
tract the work should be done under the
supervision of the board of health until
the incoming of the new council, which
he thought would, in all probability, dis-
card the contract system altogether;
thought it would be unjust to the in-
coming council to bind them with a con-
tract that might not meet their approval
and suggested that as the hot season
would soon be upou us an appropriation
should be made at once sufficient to put
the city in first-class sanitary condh on.
Aiderman McDonald thought that
the present council had as much
right to make contracts for its successor
as its predecessor bad to make contracts
for it. Aiderman Menard stated that
there was a special provision m the reso-
lution in granting relief to departments
finding their efficiency thus curtailed. A
motion to reconsider the resolution car-
ried and then Aiderman McDonald moved
that it be passed over the veto. Carried,
Aiderman Sherwood casting the only vote
to sanction the veto.
PETITIONS, ETC.
A communication was read from E. P.
Pomeroy proposing to put do wn fire-wells
thirty feet deep and of good brick
and guarantee an ample water
supply, the wells to be six
feet in diameter at the bottom and four
feet at the top, was referred to the com-
mittee on water supply. Right here the
scribe will inject the observation that
Colonel Ed. Ketchum was paid $200
each for putting down wooden fire wells
to a depth of about twelve feet, that con-
tain more sand than waler, and will, one
and all, lap e into a state of innocuous
desuetude within the next five years
or perhaps much sooner. Tha brick
fire wells, proposed by Mr. Pomeroy,
would last for a century, and a depth of'
thirty feet would be some guarantee that
water instead of sand would be found
therein. Of course it is desirable that
the city should have a complete sytem of
water works but there are many portions
of the city suburbs that will not be
reached by the water works system and
which is entirely without fire protection.
REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
Of H. T. Wilson, city engineer, recom-
mending the purchase of a street sweeper,
to cost, including freight, $425. This
provoked a spirited discussion and the
old proposition of Mr. Waag to clean the
streets for the sweepings was brought
forth from its seclusion and re-
discussed learnedly and at length. Several
aidermen were of the opinion that no
man could make such a contract remuner-
ative, and that it was useless to waste
time entertaining such. Aiderman Mc-
Donald, who is blessed with a retentive
memory, said that Aiderman Rosenberg
had once offered to clean the streets for
the sweepings, and he desire : that he be
given an opportunity to do so. The
municipal congressman from the Second
Ward stated that he had reconsidered
his proposal and did not care to enter
into such a contract. Finally after it
had been authoritatively stated that
Mr. Waag’s proposition was not
to swee,> the streets but simply to cart
off the piled sweepings, the report was
received and the necessary appropriation
voted.
Of William Oldenberg, showing ex-
penses of the department to be $3486.45.
Referred to fire committee.
Of J. W. Jockusch, purchasing agent,
for March, showing purchases aggregat-
ing $2320.24. Received.
COMMITTEE REPORTS.
The fire committee submitted a num-
ber of bids for shoeing the department
horses for the ensuing year. The bids
were referred back to the committee
for report. Also bids for furnishing feed
for the department horses for the ensuing sixth between K and L.
year. On motion the bid of Paul Harden,
of $10.40 per month, was accepted.
