Mr. Wicket Hbatn asked whether the beat ing apparatus at tbe Lime street school wm aulllclent te warm the building and Mr.Hart Hian replied that although 100 teus of coal had been burned lant year, he believed that when the x posed pipes were covered with ibeates, as they would be during vacation, that the desired heat would be obtained next winter. Mr. Bernard asked why a tire escape was net put en the building and Mr. 1J art man said It bad been contracted ler months sge and would be put up during the vacation.

" Mr. Itakvr spoke In opposition te the amendments. Alter referring te Ihecbangt-M that had come ever the spirit ul the d teams of a few nf thu member lie went ou tu argue that the adoption et f roe books would boa mis take. It looked te him that the discrepancies as te the discount oil vary se much that somebody was going tn get cheated, lle did nut believe that the beard could buy cbeaiier thsn wholesale dealers. Mr. Breslus Is for tree books ou the ground of sympathy for the ioer. Ktery peer person Is se known by bis neighbors and a peer iersen should net be ashamed te acknowledge bis or her poverty. This question hud been discussed In tbe school beard tllly years age by such men as Tims. H. Burrowes, Jehn K. Stein man and HlHhep Bewman, and after a full and free discussion the beard decided that It was net oliey te adept free books and In his Judgment It was net policy today. There was nothing ssld lu reply by the friends of the tueasure, but they called for tlie question as seen as Mr. Baker concluded hi argument. The amendments were adopted by a vote of 1 te 11, two thirds of these present voting for tbem. These who e'ed te reconsider the vote voted for the ainmul intuits, and these who voted sgainst the rtcoiisideratieu voted against the aiueudmeuls. Thu mho will bu seen above. Mr. Ham u el K.

( lleiu Dm Ul Jit Francis, Miijjer ami CViufrmnii .- Mr DkauSiu When I received tbe ex treuiely cordial and gratifying Invitation from the citizens el SU l,euls, tendered by a number el ber representative tiiaa te visit that city during the national eucampmeut of the Urand Army of the Uspubllc, I had been contemplating for some time the ac ceptance of the invitation from that organiza tion te tbe same filed and had considered the pleasure which it would allerd me It It should be poasihle te meet net only members of the Urand Army, but the people of SU Leuis and ether cities In the West, which Uie occasion would ailerd me an opportunity te visit. The oxaclleua et my public duties 1 felt te be se uncertain, however, that when llrst confronted by the delegation of which you were tbe head, I oxiected te de no mere at that time than te promlfe theoiuslderatleu et tbe double Invitation tendered inn, and ex press tbe pleasure It would glvn me te accept tbessms thereafter, If possible. But the erdlallty aud sincerity el your presentation, reinforced by the heartiness of the people who surrounded) ou, se Impressed me that 1 u mid net relt tbe looting which prompted me te assure you ou the spot that I would be with you and tbe Urand Army of tbe ll?publte at tbe time designated If neth leg happened lu the inoautiuie te absolutely prevent my leaving Washington. Immediately upon tbe public announce ment of this conclusion, expressions emana ting from certain membeis of the Urand Army of the KtpubllJ, and Increasing In vol ume and vlruleucft, constrained me te review iny acceptance of muse invitations. Tee ex pressions referred te go te the extent of de claring that I would be an unwelcome guest at the time and place nf the national encamp ment. Thit statement Is tnv-ed, us well as 1 can Judge, upon certain nlUutal huh of mine iuvulvlug luiperlaut public Interests, deiiu under lint restraints mid utilisatien of my oath el office, which de net apxHr te accord wlUi thu wi.bes of ho.ue miiuibura et tbe Urand Army of the Republic I refusa te believe that this organization, founded upeu patriotic ideas, com))esed very largely et men eutttled te Luting honor and consideration, and whose crowning glory it aheuld be that they are American citizens as well as veteran soldiers, deems, it a part uf Its mission te com pass any obleel or purpose by attempting te Intimidate the executive or coerce these ehsrged with making and execut ing the laws. And yet tbe expressions te which 1 have relerred Indicate such a preva lence of unfriendly feeling and sneb a men men men aoe te an occasion which should be barme nleus, peaceful aud cordial, that they canto, be Ignored. I beg you te understand that 1 am net con scious of any act of mine wbleh should make me fear te meet tbe Urand Army of tbe tte tte publle or any etber assemblage et my fellow cltlzena, Tbe aoeount of my official eteward ablp la always ready for presentation te my countrymen, i sueuiu net no Iran u i failed te oenfese. while disclaiming all re sentment, that I bave been hurt by tbe un worthy and wanton attacks upon me growing out of this matter, and the reckless manner In wblcti my action and motives bave been misrepresented both publicly and privately, ter which, however, the Urand Army et tbe Republic, as a body, Is by no means respon sible. Tbe threat et pommel violence and barm in case I undertake the trip In question, wbicb scores of misguided, unbalanced men under tbe stimulation et excited feeling bave made, are neteven considered. Katuer than abandon my visit te tbe West and disappoint your citizens I might, it I alone were con cerned, submit te the Insult, te which It Is quite epesly asserted 1 would be helplessly subjected it present at tbe encampment I but 1 should bear wltb me there tbe people's highest efllce, the dignity el wbicb 1 must protect, and I believe neither tbe Grand Army of tbe Rebublle aa an orjrauiaatlea nor anytnlng Ilka a majority of Its members would ever eaoeurageany soaadaleus attack upon lb u, newever, arnasig ins suesn bereblp of Ibis body there are some, as eartainiy amu te be Um eaae, dttwsslaed te denounce me and my official act at tbe national encampment I believe they aheuld be permitted te de se unrestrained by my presence as a guest or their organization or as aguestoftbelieBplUbleclty In wbicb tbelr meeting la beld. A number of Urand Army pests bave signified their Intention, lam In formed, te remain away from the encamp ment in case ljvlslled the city at that time. Without considering the merit of such an excuse I feel that 1 ought net te be the cause el sucb non-attendance. The time and place of tbe encampment were fixed long liefere my Invitations were received. Thosedeatrens te participate In Its proceedings should be llrst regarded and nothing should be per mitted te Interfere with tbelr Intentions. Anether consideration of mere ImperUnce than all ethers remains te be noticed. Tbe fact waa referred te by you wben you ver bally presented tbe Invitation of the citizens of St Tieuls that the coming encampment el tbe Urand Army of tbe Kepublla would be the Hrst beld In a Heutbern s'ale. 1 suppose this Isct was mentioned as a pleasing Incident of tbe fraternal feeling last gaining ground throughout the entire land and billed by very patriotic citizen as an earnest that tbe Union has really and In tact been saved In aantlment and spirit, wltb all tbe beneUta It vouchsafes te a united people. 1 cannot rid myself of tbe belief that the least discord ou this propitious occasion might retard the progress of the sentiment nl common brotherhood which the Urand Army el the Heoublle has se geed an opper tunity te Increase and fester. I certainly ought net te be the cause et sucb discord in any event or upon any pretext It seems te me that you and the citizens of Nt Leuis are entitled te this unreserved statement of tlie conditions which bave constrained me te forego my contemplated visit and te with draw my acceptance of your Invitation. My presence In your city st the t'uie you have Indicated can be of but llltle moment compared wltb tbe iiiiportane of a cordial snd harmonious entertainment of your etber guests. 1 assure you tbst 1 abandon my plan without the least personal looting or regret, constrained thereto by a sense of duty, actuated by a deslre te save sny em berraseuieut te tbe people el St Leuis or their expected guests, and with a heart lull of grateful appreciation of the sincere and uu allected kindness of your citizens.

JtVtlUM V BBLBVT CUVBOiU It lt.lu.es lu I's.s tbe Common Branch's Bese- lulleu revering Plan for Water Works Improvement, An adjourned meeting of select council waa beld Thursday evening as provided for by Uie action of council en Wednesday evening. The following named members were pres ent : Messrs. Bolenius, Davis, Leng, Kemley, Kiddle, White, Wise aud Evans, president The resolution passed by common council en Wednesday evening adopting Engineer Crocs "plau Ne, 2" for tbe Improvement of water works and which waa under coutddera ceutddera coutddera Hen wben select council adjourned, was read. Dr. Bolenius again objected te concurring in the action of common council. The re moval of tbe wnter works, as proposed, would cost (82,000, tbe Hanck property (22, 000, and contingencies would take up the balance of 125,000 voted by tbe people for sewerage and water improvements, and tbus there would be no money left for sewering the northern part of the city. Mr. Kiddle explained that If " plan Ne. 2 " was adopted there would be no necessity for sewering the northern part el tbe city further than the city suburbs, from which point there would be an open sewer Uireugb the run. The committee In asking for pre pesals ler sewering had no thought el award lug the work without the approval of coun cils. Mr. Kimley said he could notsee any ne cessity for advertising for plana and specifica tions for sewering, when the committee and councils bad bad before tbem for a year or mere past such plans and specifications to gether with their estimated cost Mr. Wise said that the change of location te tbe Bite above the railroad bridge would net add anything te tbe present Bupply of water ; it would only draw the hupply from a purer source. As we have been using the water from tbe present source for a great many years without Buffering from Its Impurity, be was willing te risk It a few years longer rather than spend (125,000 for the change. II It could be shown thst tbe plan proposed would give us an Increase of water be would vote ler It Mr. Kemley aald tbe committee bad fallen far abort In their work. They should have employed au engineer te make plans and apocttieatlons for a new reservoir en College hill together wltb it cost and tbe cost el tbe land ou which te build It Mr. Kiddle said the money voted by the people was for Improved water supply and sewering. The question of a new reservoir was net under discussion wben tbe money was voted. That matter might come up in tbe near future. If there are plana and specifications for sewering new plans need net be advertised for. The adoption of tbe plan te remove the works above the railroad bridge will greatly reduce the cost of sewer ing tbe northern part of tbe city, aa tbe sewer can be led Inte tbe run that empties into tbe Uonestegaat Kauck'a dam. After a geed deal mere discussion among members, Mr. Kiddle moved that select coun cil concur in tbe action of common council. The yeas and naya were called for and re sulted aa follews: Yeas Messrs.
