Mr. .Swelaerl noinlnaled Mr, Vanan,
Mr. Kerwlu seconding the nomina
tion, The vote was it tie, Messrs.
Kunvln, .Swelgert and Vanan vnled
together, as was pre-iirrunRed, n ml
the tcmainlug three, llockerberry t.lal
litRher and Hughes, voting alike, as
wits also agreed upon among them
selves. Mr. tlullagher followed wjth Ihe
nainc of ex-secretary Hughes for
president, Mr. Hockenberry secondltiK
It. There was another tie vote, as ex
peeled, and When there seemed no Im
mediate possibility of a change, Mr.
Swelgert moved for a recess of ten
minutes. There were but two nays
heard when the motion was put, and
the recess was Accordingly declared
by temporary chairman Hnckcnberry.
Tills deadlock over the ollleo of
president was somewhat of a surprise,'
and when t ho recess was declared a
hope sprung up that therow-oiild be a
switching back to the programme that
had been agreed upon. In n inaiitier,
but this hope faded away when the
members returned to their seats and
the meeting was re-eillled lo order.
Mr. Swelgert, recognizing that there
was little hope of ngrpelng on a choice
for Hip presidency, atosu and moved
for adjournment until Wednesday
night. Mr. Kenvin, as before, sec
onded the motion, but before, It was
put, Mr. (Jallaghpf went back lo tho
election of president by nominating
Mr. Hughes. Chairman lloeketibprry
again filled the olllce of second and
a vote was taken. As was expected,
another Ho vote was recorded and
then Mr. Swelgert's motion to adjourn
was taken up.
Mr. Hughes, however, was not satis
fied with "Wednesday night, and
amended Swelgert's motion lo read
until Ibis evening. Mr. tlallagher was
the second for Hie amendment. Chair
man Hoekenberry shrewdly ruled the
amendment out of order.
Mr. Swelgert was willing to change
his motion to prolong the adjourn
ment to Thursday because of Mr.
Hughes' expected absence from the
city to-morrow night, and tills motion
was unanimously carried.
Hefore Mr. Sweigerl's motion was
disposed of, ill'. Vanan, the new
member, adroitly nominated .Mr. Gal
lagher for president. This intetesllng
move, however, was not sustained,
for Mr. flnllagher peremptorily de
clined and the Incident ended.

Owing to the Illness of President
Fletcher, then; was no meeting of se
lect council last night.
Tlio municipal water plant ordinance
was to have been called up for first
reading last night, and as Chairman
Fletcher sent word -that he wished to
have an opportunity to vote on the

bers acquiesced, and the mooting was
put over until tomorrow night.
Mr. Munition wanted the members to
take up routine matters, which, lie
said, could and ought to be disposed,
ami without a lack of deference to
Chairman Fletcher's wishes. The
municipal water plant ordinance need
not be considered, but other matters
might be considered.
The member's thought differently,
however, and the motion of Mr. Hat tie
to adjourn was adopted.

THE MACHINISTS
WILL NOT GO OUT
Hands of tho Carbondale Machine
Company to Remain nt Work
Pending Settlement of Difficulties
In and About Seranton Result of
Conference with President Traut
wcln. The threatened going out of the
hands at the Carbondale Machine
company's plant has been averted and
the men will take up their work this
morning as usual, and will stick to
their employment pending the settle
ment of the dllllcultlcs fuming the
machine shops In Seranton,
The committer: of woikinen composed
of .!. 11. Colvln, William Smith, Frank
l.owe, and Charles I,ewls( the same
that presented the demands about ten
days ago, held a protracted session
wllb President Tratitwelti yesterday,
which, It Is known, was niarkpd by a
llvplv debate. Jt look three or four
hours to dlreiiss and argue the points
at Issue, but how the men fared could
not bo learned from the committee,
for each mutt was strangely reticent
When approached for Information. On
what basis the men will remain at
work was not given out, but II Is
known that the qupstlou of the nine
hour day was not spttlcd, but was
left open pending Hip settlement of the
same Issue In the trouble at the Seran
ton machine shops.
The men, it Is known, fared better
in tlio mutter of wages, an increase
being granted, but possibly not as
much as was asked for and expected.
This is the anchor that held the men
and In the liiea-iitlnie they are hopeful
that the nine hour day question will
be decided In their favor.
A few of the men nt the shops liav
expressed themselves as being opposed
to a strike and would ho willing to
cling to the last hope before leaving
their positions, ft Is this feeling, pos
sibly, that deterred the men, who were
In favor of going out, from taking a
decided stand on the question of aban
doning work in Hie event of a favor
able answer being returned to all of
the demands.
There was no work yesterday af
ternoon, but 'this was because of a
meeting of employes held to discuss
the terms agreed to by President
Trautwein. At this mooting it was
decided, as stilted before, to resume
work this morning, on the proposed
basis a slight increase In wages,
which the men regard as favorable
enough, and to await the settlement
of the nine hour question at the Peran
um shops.

Clem it. Moore, Editor of the Advocate-Democrat of Crawfordsvlllc, Ga,,
writes the I'eriina Mcdlolne Company as follows:
Gentlemen "After four ycor3 of intense suffering, caused by sys
temic catarrh, which I contracted while editing, and traveling for my
paper, I have been greatly rulicvo.l by the uso of Peruna. I gave up work
during these years of torture, tried various remedies and many doctors,
but all the permanent relief came front the uso of Perunn. My trouble
was called indigestion, but it was catarrh all through my system, nnd
a few bottles of Peruna mnde mo feel llko another person, noting tho im
provement after I had used the first bottle. Peruna Is undoubtedly the
best catarrh remedy ever compounded. Clem G. Moore.
