chair. Members present: Messrs. Bal
lentinc, Walker. Codd, Palmer, Wil?
liams, Slater, Reed, Overton, Brlnson,
Montague, Murden, Reynolds, Brown
nnd Wonycott.
Mr. King said that he did not think
it necessary to state the object for
which the meeting had been called, as
that was pretty well known to' each of
the members present.
On motlrn of Mr. Murden the Council
went Into .secret session, at which the
resignation of City Cork E. Thompson.
Jr., was read and acc.pted, after which
the doors were opened and the matter
of electing a temporary clerk was dis?
cussed.
Mr. L. P. Sla.t r was nominated to fill
the position until the first regular meet?
ing in March. This proposition brought
about a lively tilt between several of
the Counellmen. The matter was finally
settled, for the time helng, at least, by
electing Mr. Slater.
After discussing several minor mat?
ters the Council adjourned.
WAD TT PiETURtNED.

Home arrived In this city Wednesday

keeper to keep for him and forgot
who he gave It to, and could not go.
He met Ofllccr Hoof nagle, to whom he
told his tale of woe. The ofllcer went

had left his (money with and cot It.
He returned It to the owner and the
man left yesterday happy and with a
profusslon of thanks to the ofllcer.
WHO WILL SUCCEED MR. HUME?
Much speculation is indulged in as
to who will succeed Mr. John H.
Hume as president of the Peoples'
Hank. A number of names have been
spoken of, the most prominent being
Mr. John T. King, one of the dlreutors
of the hank, hut no steps have been
taken In the matter yet. The annual
election of officers takes place early in
January, and it Is more than probable
that the election will be put off until
that time. There will have to lie a
president elected for the Knitting Mills
Company.
MR. C. C. MITCHELL.
The Democratic Executive Committee
of Newport News has endorsed Mr. C-1
O. Mitchell for the appointment of
