Anderson, of the Seventh ward, was the hero of the meeting of the city council last evening, bring ing the members in away from the danger line with a motion to adjourn just as the storm was ready to break. There were at least a half dozen questions., any one of which would have produced an animated debate. ui the sleeves of the aldermen, and as one had been introduced, the others would have followed, and the prospect was for a session that would continue through midnight. The meeting of a week ago lasted until a few minutes of the witching hour, and the councilmen had agreed among themselves to endeavor to wind up the business with more rapidity. - - Old (inllrrjr Crowd om Hand. The bill of C. F. Gaetjer. commis sioner of Longview park, was to have been called up for reconsideration, and there was promised, among other interesting matter, a move for the re opening of the waterworks investiga tion. This had the effect of attracting the old gallery crowd. G. Washington McCaskrin had a seat well towards the front, but there was no opening for the Irrepressible. The Gaetjer bill for $450. allowed at the former meet ing is in the hands of the park com-i mittee. Payment has been refused un til the council designates from which fund the amount is to be taken. This is on advice of the city attorney, Mr. Ludolph. A number of the aldermen have had a change of hart, and do not want to remain on record as voting to allow the bill. In rmtm Twrntr Mlnutr. The meeting was in session just 20 minutes. When the various commit tees had been called Mayor McCono- chie asked if there was any alderman who had anything to bring up. Thero were knowing glances exchanged, but not a word spoken. Aid. Anderson'. appreciating the intensity of the situ-i tion. in that calm, comforting voice that has curbed so many quarrels in the council, moved an adjournment There was not a dissenting vote. AM Anderson was the center of interest LiEvyiSiftS. me congratulations T"m r"" aldermen after the meeting. They thanked him for coming to the res cue. Old ne DUpoaed Of. An old score arising from an inci dent that befell Ardie Dradford on Eighteenth street and Fifth avenue eight years ago was cleared off the books In the acceptance of a tender of $140 in full settlement of liability from Dr. W. H. Ludewig. Bradford was driving down Fifth avenue during the construction of the Ltfdewig residence. Julius Stroehle, who had the contract for building the foundation, left a pile of rank and sand in the avenue. Brad ford drove Into this and was thrown from his buggy. He brought suit In the circuit court, making the city one of the defendants. Service was not secured on either Dr. Ludewig or Mr. Stroehle. A verdict for $200 was re turned against the city by a jury. The city in turn brought suits against Dr. Ludewig and Mr. Stroehle. The latter has been away from the city a num ber of years. Dr. Ludewig said that while disclaiming any liability, he would prefer settlement to trial, and accordingly made the offer on condi tidn that the suit be dismissed, which was agreed to.

James Rowe, a wealthy pioneer res ident of Galena, has just broken the black cat record for longevity under difficulties and dangers. Just 44 hours after Mr. Rowe had fallen 52 feet to the bottom of a de serted zinc mine shaft, a searching party brought the white haired oc togenarian to the surface, uninjured. Five inchesof snow in the meantime had covered the hills, and Mr. Rowe, on emerging from the shaft, began kicking around in it, with the impatient query: , "Where in blazes is my cap?" James Rowe is a retired farmer, a widower, with $100fv00, and' he will be 80 years old nexi-pring. , Homakes his home with a married daughter in Galena, He finds recreation . in long walks over the orebound hills. Friday afternoon Mr. Rome left home for one of these walks. He fail ed to return that night,1 and Saturday morning a searching party started out. The searchers numbered scores by Sunday morning, and It was not till 10 o'clock that Jacob Schuester. leading a group of searchers, bethought him to step over the mouth of a deserted shaft, a mile northwest of town, and call down the vertical welL . His answer was a husky shout from the depths, and in a few moments a rope and windlass from a nearby shaft were moved over and Schuester was lowered to the bottom, to find one of the cheerfuiest of prisoners sitting up right on a stone. The Associated Charities was reor ganized last evening at the First M. E. church with a membership of about 100. Rev. R. B. Williams, of the First M.
