The purpose of tho conference was to consider the proposed quo warranto proceedings against the present board. The attorney of the contestants, I. II. Burns, will bo Instructed to begin the necessary Bteps In tho ense at whatever tlmo ho may deem proper. There Is a dlfferencQ of opinion as to whether proceedings should begin at once or after April 1, when, It is contended, the term of tho elective poor directors should begin. Attorney IH'rns, It Is understood, favors an Immediate contest against the seat of Director Murphy, whose appointive term has expired, and DU rectors Shotten and Langstaff, whose terms are almost finished.

Two brothers, Edward and David Thomas, of West Elm street, had been ejected from tho place by Andrew Phe Ian, tho bartender, following some trouble between Edward, the younger brother, und some women who were drinking in a rear room. In the scrim mage young Thomas' lips were cut, hl cheek badly bruised and the skin bro ken over his left eye. After being thrust Into Center street the brotueis bombarded the windows on that side of tho saloon and demolished three of them.

JONAS LONG'S SONS. PRIVATE TRIP TO CUBA. AETPHT FOR LOW PRICES with the fighting all on one side. That's the characteristic of this week's JTlvlIll great sale here. Just as "Uncle Sam" would load his guns for battle, we loaded this great store of ours with good, seasonable merchandise. Then we charged the stocks with the littlest prices the city had ever known. We advertised for volunteers to carry the goods away to enlist with us their feeling that this is the store in which to save money. What was the result ? Crowds came Monday and yesterday, buying fieely from the great stocks. And they've saved more money in 48 hours than for weeks preceding this sale. That's a fact. We know that. They know it.
