which the old council's term of of
tlcv expired by statutory require
ment.
Tho newly olected council wus then
sworn Int j office and n ballot taken
to select h president or ex-offlclo
mi yor. The choice falling to Mr. P.
II. Ganty, he wus declarod olected
and took tho chair at tho head of
the tablo whero ho will preside for

During the proceedings, a remon
stranco of considerable length wits
presented by Attorney H. B. LeFev
re, and signed by four additional

tho eligibility of tho election of J.

the council. Statutos were quoted
showing that the ordinances under
which tho election was held, wore
framed In accordanco with law, and
that tho provisions of thoso ordi
nances were legal and binding. Dy
thoso ordinances provisions havo
been made for certain forms of
registration, and Section 7 declares
that "no person ahull bo ellglblo us
councilman, or bo qualified to uct
.is such, who Is not duly registered."
The remonstrance cites tbo pro
cesses of forming the council und
the duties of tho clerk and the offi
cers of tho election bonrd, and
states thai Councilman Tanner was
disqualifies by reason of not hav
ing compiled with tho ordinance re
quiring registration, nnd declares
that there Is a vacancy existing In
the council.
An ordinance provides for the
ci-!llng of un election to fill a va
cancy.
After tho reading of tho remon
strance tho council adjourned to a
private room for consultation, and
that consultation ros'ultod In the
tabling of tho remonstrance, it be
ing held by tho mombora that Mr.
Tunner was ellglblo to membership.

Tbo visitor descended a flight of steps
to a subterranean chapel, dim and

"There before me. lu a tiny circular

HIS FIRST TASTE OF WAR.
The Time When Schley Wn Almost
Scared to Death.
"Tbo Into Admiral Schley admitted
tu conversation with me one afternoon.
Bitting on the veranda of an Atlantic
City hotel, that the flrat time he was
under Qre he was frightened almost to
death," remarked Victor Murdock of
Kansas.
" 'When Admiral Farragut at Mobile
bay boarded my ship 1 was a young
ofllcer," said Admiral Schley, 'and In
the height of tbo battle tho captain of
my vessel was killed. I suddenly
found myself faco to faco with a sit
uation which for tbo moment seemed
to take away all of my nerve.
" 'I was In a moment elevated to the
command of a battleship In actual en
gagement If I bpd been unnerved by
; the shot and shell before, I was al
most terrified at that Instant In the
midst of my predicament? for that la
what It amounted to? Admiral Farra
l gut boarded tho ship. 1 do not know
what thought camo to blm when he
saw me, for my face must bavo bo
trayed my fear.
"'Just at that moment a shell whir
zed across tbo deck, cutting a lice as
cleanly as If It bad been dono by a
chisel. Farragut turned around to me
and said: "Lieutenant let's tako our
stand on this line. Tbey say that
lightning never strikes twlco In the
same place."
" 'I- was mighty glad to follow," said
Admiral Schley. 'Farragut stood tbore
with tbo shells bursting all around, and
I shall nover forget bow big and grand
