JOINT SESSION OF
CITY COUNCILS
They Empower Mayor Kllpatriok to
Retain Attorneys t6 Defond the
Equity Bult Brought to Obtain
an Injunction Restraining Sale
of Bonds for Froposod Municipal
Water Plant.
Council In Join Hussion last night
empowered Mayor Kllpatrlck to retain
Atttoineys H. C. Butler, of thU city,
and t,'. Comegys, or Scrat.ton, to aid
City Solicitor Stuart In the defense of
the equity suit bronchi to obtain an
Injunction t entraining the salo of
bonds for the proposed municipal
water plant.
Befoie the question wus decided,
however, there took place the warmest
session of councils In many months.
The tequcsl of the major that ho
he allowed discretionary power In tlio
selection and employment of nddltlonal
eounsel. beside the city solicitor; that
he be allowed to act alone In the mat
ter, without coiifeiilng with the cltv
solicitor or seeking his ndlcc with le
spect to the attorney that would be
seemed, Is what piecipltntcd the
storm. Councils were divided on this
matter, and tlwe who wcte not with
the mayor, as It weie, on hi", pioposi
tlon. took umbrage nt the eemlng
slight towards City Solicitor Stuait
and expressed themselves somewhat
foiclbly on this point. City Solicitor
Stuait himself keenly felt that ho had
been Ignoied and In taking notkc of
this app.iient fact, he expressed him
sejf with a wainith of feeling that left
no room for doubt as to how lie le
garded being left on the outride In the
matter of selecting the ronnsol which
he would needs be usoclated with In
the defence of the suit ngalnt the cltv.
Mr Stuait broke Into the discission
and termed the action of the mayor as
a lack of common courtesy and to em
phasize his views he icprrited several
times that It would be nothing mote
than common eourtoss to be given a
voice In the selection of the nddltlount
counsel, or at least be consulted with
lefeience to the matter which, he said,
w.s not the case.
The mayor's message, which was
the cause of the upheaval of feeling
read:

After a btlef preliminary discussion.
Acting City fleik Loftus read the
resolution by V H. Masteic, which
directed the minor to pioceed to ie
tain what counsel lie deemed fit
There whs no mention of City Solic
itor Stuait In the 1 evolution, which was
onset ved lij Select Councilman Thomp
son, after Chairman Fletcher placed
the measute before the house.
Mr Thompson assailed the lohohitlnn,
which he condemned for Its taking
awny of the power from councils and
placing It in the hands of n single per
son, the mayor. This he did not deem
wise nor expedient In a matter of this
kind, wheie-o much was at Issue. He
believed that tlie mayor ought to be
made one of a committee, hut should
not he delegated with power as the
refolutlon carried with It.
Mr. Kennedy concurred In the Judg
ment that the city solicitor and the
mayor, together, were the pioper pr.
sons to vest with this power.
Mr Battle cut the discussion short
by offering an amendment, seconded hy
Mr t Davis, that the city solicitor be
associated with the mayor In the se
lection and employment of the addl
llonal counsel.
! Mr. Mannlon arose to suggest that
the amendment was out of order, but
before he had hardly finished, city
Solicitor Stuart, who had been pacing
the floor from one chamber to the
sther, broke In with his e.pret,slon of
opinion ' on the mayor's suggestion,
cvhlch seemingly Injured him.
Mr. Stuart went on to say that it
was nothing less than common cour
eesy to consult him, the head of the
law department of the city, the one
elected to look after the city's inteiest
In that direction, with tefeicnce to who
would be absoclated with him In the
preparation and conduct of the city's
side In the Injunction proceeding-. It
Is within the province of councils to
delegate the power which they had In
this matter, but It seemed to hlni to
be proper, to be at least consulted, Mr.
Stuart concluded his brief but earnest
and pointed talk with the opinion that

Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Thompson each
had Bomethlng further to say In behalf
of the nmendment, nnd then Chairman
Fletcher left the chair ami added to
the animated discussion by declaring
that the wrong tourso had been taken
In Ignoring the city solicitor. A lawyer
was better lilted to Judge of another
lawyer's Illness than was a layman,
nnd for this reason, If none other, the
city solicitor should be recognized and
consulted.
Thete was a call fop the amendment,
which was put and lost by a tic vote.
The result was as follows:
Yeas Thompson. Dattle, Davis, Ken
nedy, Klctcher, Thompson, Whitfield,
John Masteis.

Loftus, Colins, Mutpliy, W. II. Masteis,

Common Cnuncllmen Nculou and
Stone weie absent.
The defeat of the nmendment pre
saged the defeat of tlio tesolutlon
which empowered the mayor to act
alone.
The tesolutlon was next voted on
Willi the same tcsult. Hoth wctc lost
and councils had to act ulone, without
any suggestions to guide them.
This was contrary to expectation",
for it wan confidently believed befoie
the meeting, that councils would vote
to adopt the' suggestions of the mayor
nnd empower him to go ahead alone,
as was his wish. Ho certain was the
belief, that the lesolullons of the Cen
tral Labor union, passed Just befote
councils met and asking that the
mayor be empowered to letuln coun
sel, was withheld until It was too late
to be of avail.
The expectations, too, seemed to be
in favor of tlie piopciMltlous, for when
a ruling by the chair which favored the
amendment against the .Masteis icso
lutlon, which favored the major, was
leached, tlietc was loud hand-clapping
as applause.
The city solicitor, befoie the matter
whs disposed of by sending It to tlio

that thete was. a scume on the plat

A Pioneer Settler and a Greatly Es

Sketch of tho Career of the Deceas
ed. James C Decker, a pioneer settler of
this vicinity and a man greatly es
teemed hereabouts, died shortly befote
midnight on Wednesday from an ln
Juty caused by his hotse kicking him
'a few days ago,
Mr. Decker's misfortune was known
only to a few of his friends, and the
news of his death comes ay a painful
shock.
The deceased drove hi wife and her
sisters, Mrs. Hunter and Mis. Simpson,
to the Simpson farm at Greenfield on
Tuesdny, and this Is wheie he lccclved
the kick that caused his death. After
unhitching the horse nnd tlelng It In
the stall, he sought some feed for the
hotse. In parsing the animal It let Its
hind legs n, the hoofs catching Mr.
Decker with full fence actoss the
stomach. The terrible blow hurled Mr.
Decker against the side of the batn.
The ladles witnessed the dreadful hap
pening, and, hastening to Mr. Decker's,
assisted hlni to the house. Dr. Flke
was called and pronounced Mr. Deckel's
condition as ginve. Wednesday, Dr.
