There will be one vote less at the "Democratic" Joint session of councils tonight than the McDonald men 1iodc5 for. Commoner Thomas F. McGrall, of the Twentieth ward, took a dose of laudnnunt yesterday, and at the tltno of going to press ho wns in a condition that prohibits his getting out for many days, If he ever gets out. McGrall Is, unfortunately, addicted to drink, and periodically goes on pro tracted sprees, which, on some occa sions, result In the unbalancing of his mind. For some time past he has been im bibing heavily and during tho past few days has been in a state border ing on physical and mental collapse. Yesterday afternoon about 4.30 o'clock It was noticed by his family that he was acting unusually queer, and when ii 'two-ounce bottle of laudanum, with three-quarters of the contents gone, was found in his room, a messenger wns hastily dispatched for Dr. J. J. Walsh. Emetics, "a stomach pump and other remedies brought relief, nnd towards nightfall he showed signs of rallying. At 11 o'clock last night he was consid ered out of danger, but his physician said it will bo some time before he will be able to be about. The bottle containing tho poison bore tho label of Lorenz & Koempel. Dur ing the morning McGrall made an ef fort to secure two ounces oi laudanum nt Humphrey's drug store on Plttston avenue, but was refused. NINETEEN AMENDMENTS. Tlicy Were Made to the Appropriation Ordinance in Select Council Last Night. Select council last night in special session ripped up the appropriation ordinance In pretty bad shape, knock ing out all but one of tho amendments which common council attached to It and adding a few new ones. It will now go back to common council and ns there Is no probability of the lower branch concurring In the selectmen's action a conference committee will bo the result. The one Item which the upper branch fnlled to kill has the $200 appropria tion for carriage hire for the board of associated charities. When the ordi nance had been read Mr. Chittenden began his nttack on tho measure Jy moving to strike out this line. Messrs. Schroeder and llobinson refused to play with the Republicans in this par ticular Instance and tho motion to strike out the item was lost on a tie vote. Mr. Chittenden then presented nine teen amendments and they were adopt ed. At llrst the Democrats demanded n roll call on each item but they got tired of this in time and few of them even took tho trouble to say "nay" when the vlve voce vote was being polled. The amendments were as follows: Reducing the mayor's clerk's salary from $1,000 to $000; increasing tho bridges and culverts appropriation $123; Increasing the sowers and drains appropriation $300; Increasing the ns phalt repairs appropriation $4!0; ap propriating $100 for a sewer basin on the corner of Main avenue and Jack son street; taking off $1D0 from the Fourteenth ward street appropriation and giving It to the Fifteenth ward; reducing the appropriation for the Col umbia's combination wagon from $1, 800 to $1,500; striking out the $1,000 ap propriation for the Cumberland Hose company and giving it to the Nny Augs; striking out the appropriation for an assistant superintendent at Nay Aug park; reducing tho "current expenses" appropriation at Nay Aug park from $2,500 to $2,150; appropriat ing money for a new electric light In the Second ward and four In the Tenth ward. These amendments virtually leave the ordinance ns it was when it came from the Joint estimates commit tee. It was passed on second rending. Mr. Roche led In tho opposition to the amendments and was seconded by Mr. McCann. There was a big howl when the Cumberland's $1,000 was transferred to the Nay Augs and again when the sllco of the Fourteenth ward appropriation wns given to the Fif teenth ward, but the Republicans In each instance explained away the im putations of factional motives and went ahead with their work.
