new council. The ohalr of Mr. Badger
was occupied by Alderman Whitmore;
the desk formerly ooonpied by Mr.
Slack was taken by Alderman Look
and Mr. Solomon’s old seat was filled
by Alderman Voelker.
Another feature of interest was the
presence of an unusual number of olti
zens, evidently expecting something j
sensational In the Merrill oase. Seated
between the presiding officer a d the
city clerk was Mr. B. H. Mathews, de-
puty assessor and oolleotor under ex-
Colleotor Merrill. And, although Mr.
Mathews has entered into the prevail-
ing sensation, only incidental.y it was
plain that he was a center of interest
to the observers present.
MAYOR ALBERS ORDERED.
When the minutes of the last meet-
ing bed been app ioved a sensation was
developed in abont four seoonds. The
presiding officer announced that be
had a communication from Mayor A
bers, but said he had been instruotec
to call it up under the bead of ‘!new
bnsiness.”'
Alderman Kohlberg arose to say tha;
he desired to oall np the veto message
of Mayor Solomon. The clerk sale
that Mayor Albers had oome to the
office and withdrawn that message.
''Mayor Albers had no right to with
draw a communication from Mayor
Solomon,” oried Alderman Kohlberg,
with evident heat. “I move that the
chief of police be ipstruoted to go to
Mr. Albers and demand that the said
oommnnioation be prodnoed before
the oonnoil at onoe.”
The motion prevailed without dis-
sent, and Chief Payne set out on hie
mission.
During the absence of the ohief sev-
eral matters of minor importance were
attended to among which was the
granting of the use of the oity hall to
the John O. Brown Camp, Confederate
Veterans, for the oelebration of San
Jacinto day.
Then followed a very pleasing re-
laxation of the mosoles of the oonnoil
A oommnnioation was read from' the
Evergreen Cemetery company, aocom
panted by a bontoniere for each oity
officer and member of the press.
ALBEBS RESIGNATION.
After the flowers were graoefully
distributed by Dr. Yandell the follow-
ng communication was read:
El Paso, ikias, April 20th 1894.
To the City Oonnoil,
El Paso, Texas,
Gentlemen: — Clioumstanoes over
which 1 find it will be impossible for
me to have control, and such condi-
tions existing in the affairs of the
city’s government, and which 1 find
cannot be averted, causes me to
abundantly realize the impossibility of
my serving the people as I would de-
sire as mayor of the city, and, although
I exceedingly regret the coarse neces-
sity compels me to aooept, yet, in
; ustloe to the people and myself, I
Jobnsoofonr. Those voting for Sbel-
t< n aere Payne, Kob.berg, Davis and
Stanton, and those for Johnson were
Howley, Look, Voelker and Whitmore.
After the first ballot there was a
long delay ceoastoned by Aldermen
Kohlberg hoidieg a consultation with
Mr. Johnson. In t his he tried to get
oertain promises fr m Mr. Johnson
concerning the appointment of a ohief
of police, bat Mr. -Johnson refused eb
solateiy to promise anything to any
man. •
On the second ballot Stanton oame
over to Johnson, which assured bis
election. An effort was made to se-
cure a unanimous choice, but Alder
man > ayne stood ' out for Shelton, as
the eleotion in the oonnoil showed.
When the oonnoil was oalled to order
after nearly an hoar of caaouslng Mr.
Howley moved that the oonnoil pro
oeed to the eleotion of a mayor. The
motion prevailed and Messrs. How.ey
and Whitmore were appointed tellers.
The only ballot then gave R. F. John
son seven votes and E A. Shelton one.
Within a minute after the result of
the ballot was announced the council
had adjourned and the hall was empty
But there were loud oheere In every
corner of the hall when It was evident
that Johnson had been ohosen.
MAYOB JOHNSON INTERVIEWED.
After the oonnoil adjourned there
was a rush of friends to congratulate
the new mayor and likewise the oity.
Mr. Johnson greeted his friends In his
usual cordial manner but positively re
fused to make a speech. Later, in an
interview, he said to a reporter:
"I think no man oonld be more ap
preoiative of the honor than myself.
had not expected to be
mayor, as you know that I
have persistently refused to run
for the office. Bat wheD my friends
find It to be incumbent upon me to ask
that I be relieved of the honorable
position to which I have been eleoted,
and herewith tender you this my re
slgnation as mayor of the oity of El
*aso, Texas.
Requesting an Immediate action
upon the above, 1 am, gentlemen, trnly
Yours,
A. K. Albers.
After the reading Alderman Payne
moved that the resignation be aooepted
to take effect on the eleotion and
qualification of his snooessor. This
motion unanimously prevailed.
The ohief of polioe having returned
with ex Mayor Solomon’s veto it was
read by the olerk. This veto message
was printed in the Times last Satur-
day and is not given now. Snffloe It to
sey that the veto was snstained by the
ollowing vote: Aye, Kohlberg, How-
ey and Whitmore; nay, Davis, Look,
tayne, Stanton and Voelker.
THE SECBET SESSION.
The proceedings in the canons were
f a decidedly interesting nature. Af
;er no small amount of disoussion of
the situation a vote was taken. The
Irst ballot resulted in Mr. B. A. Shel-
ton’* receiving four and Mr.' R. F
in the council said they oonld elect me
and that I was the choice of a majority
of the members, I consented to aooept
the honor. I have made no promise to
any man, and have In view only the
building np of the oity. I oame to El
Paso be ore I was of age, began to work
for $30 a month and have never voted
anywhere else. All my Interests are
here and I want to see the town grow
as it deserves. That is my highest
ambition. 1 know very well that I can-
not oondnot the bnsiness of the town
as it should be oondnoted without the
assistance of the good oitizens. There-
fore I nope that no one will hesitate
abont making suggestions as to the
best policy to parses in any given oase.
I want every possible assistance.”
Tha Condition of Trade.
New York, April 20—R. G. Dun &
Go’s, weekly review of trade says:
New orders for fntnre distribution
are still materially restricted by un-
certainty abont action at Washington
about the outcome of the labor diffi
oultles. Most of the recovery realized
in business baB been made possible for
the oonsent of the workers to aooept
lower wages for a time and if they in-
sist on a restoration of wages before
consumption has restored prices many
works mast stop. The great strike
threatened by the bituminous coal
miners and strikes of all employes on
some railroads make the future less
hopeful
The failures of the| past week have
been more important than nanal, but
were 219 iu the United States against
186 last year, and 45 in Canada against
221astyear. For the first half of April

168,416, of which 82.082,630 were of
manufacturing, and 81,904,267 of trad-
ing oonoers.
