There was a suggestion to put) vvvr mu iiei'inuueuc organization until the meeting in tho evening, but the fiulet, yet llrm, Insistence of the sup porters of Chairman Davis was huecess ful in having the, election tuko place at tho morning session, resulting in the jcholeo of their candidate.

No business was tiansacted ut this session, ns everything had been cleared away at tho last meeting. The few minutes that the session lasted was taken up in the exchanging of compli ments. Chairman Fletcher, after call ing order, claimed the attention of councils in a brier, but earnest talk, In which he warmly thanked his col leagues for their uniform courtesy and cordiality In sustaining the chair. He closed by assuring the members that he held the kindliest feelings for them. Mr. Battle paid a nice tribute to the retiring chnlimun. and. Mr. Mannion also recognized the courtesies of Mr. 'Fletcher duiing his term of oflice. City Clerk Noon llkewise;joined',ln the recog nition paid to the retirinV'chairman.

The vote, cau-y-Ing the motion, was heartily given and the resolution was ordered spread on the minutes.

Of the new members, James Solomon, Sixth ward, successor to James Thompson, was present. D. W. Humphrey, Second ward, who succeeds Thomas Battle, was absent, owing to his doing jury duty in Scranton.

When Mr. Davis took the chair, he was made permanent chairman on motion of Mr Munition, seconded by Mr. Barrett. A resolution, presented by Mr. Fletcher, was adopted.

Just before council adjourned, tho new chairman, Mr. Davis, heartily thanked the members for the honor be stowed on him, making an earnest talk in his acknowledgment. He nsked their Indulgence until he could familiarize himself with his new duties, and sug gested that he did not fear his col leagues, as they were'his brothers and, like him, liable to mistakes. It is easier to be critical than correct, and if he makes mistakes the.v would be of tho head und not tho heart. There was a short meeting of com mon council last night, ut which tho bond of Controller Kvans was received and accepted. It was for $l,G0O and has as sureties, Marcus Frleder and Robert Edwards.

NO CONTEST IN THE POOR BOARD John McCabe, Chairman; Morgan Thomas, Treasurer; James McMil lan, Secretary; Jerry Clune, Stew ardElected Without Friction. As forecasted solely in The Tribune yesterday, the Carbondale poor board at its meeting last night reorganized for the coming year by electing the fol lowing officers: President John McCabe. Treasurer Morgan Thomas. Secretary James McMillan. The old steward at the poor farm, Jerry Clune, was re-appointed and his wife, Mary Clune, was again named as matron. Attorney II. C. Butler was re elected solicitor for tho board. As also indicated in The Tribune, theie wus no contest over any of tne offices. The programme that had been ngreed upon some days ago by the ma jority of the board was carrlpd out without any friction. Former Chair man Morgan Thomas was not present, owing to illness, but his vote was not necessary, Messrs. McCabe, McMillan and Williams standing together on each proposition that was voted on. Mr. Lynch and Mr. Burke were In the class that Is known as a hopeless minor ity. Theie wus no roll-call on any of the ofllees voted for, and theie was no nay from either Mr. Burke or Lynch, so the election of all the ofllcers will bo regarded as unanimous. Chairman McCabe appointed the fol lowiw? committees: Purchasing Junies F. Uurke, Morgan Thomas. Farm James McMillan, Hurry T. Williams. Lunacy Harry T. Williams, John MuCabt). Finance James F. Burke, James Mc Millan. Mr. Lynch was nnmed on the lunacy and llnance committees, but ho declined to necept either place. The chairman then named himself on the llrst com mittee nnd Mr. McMillan on the other, Tho meeting was exceedingly tame, (JKOIUii: Yi, i:ANb, former Secretary of llojnl of Health, Now filj- Cimliulur.

He was the leader, it might bo said. In the movement to economize the nffalrs of the district, which was carried on suc cessfully the past year. Morgan Thomas, the treasurer, ex changes place, as it were, with Mr. Mc Cabe, having been tho presiding officer last year. The new secretary, James McMillan, has never held oflice before. Ho will be assisted by former Secretary Williams. THE NEW OFFICIALS. HON. JAMES J. O'NEILL, who en joys the honor of being mayor of Car bondale for the second term, Is one of the city's most gifted sons. Not only does he enloy the highest confidence and esteem of every citizen of Carbon dale, but he also enjoys the same dis tinction abroad, holding on eminent place among the men of this valley. PATRICK F. CONNER, who enters upon the third consecutive term as city treasurer, has proven himself a master of local politics. He holds a command ing place in the community. GEOUGE W. EVANS, who created a big surprise In the spring election by the manner In which he ran ahead of his ticket, has been secretary of the Carbondale board or health, filling the oflice most satisfactorily. Mr. Evans is one of the influential young men of the town. JOHN DAVIS, who was unanimously chosen chairman of select council, lias had a most creditable term in council, serving his constituents as faithfully ns his duty seemed to him. He Is a man of exceedingly plain, simple ways, and as he stated In his acceptance speech yesterdny, his "mistakes are more likely to be of the head than herirt." W. H. MASTERS, who becomes chair man of common council, has been re garded as the leader of tho Republican forces In that body. His work, both as a councilman nnd at the head of his party, made him the logical candidate for chairman. A. F. LOFTUS, who Is again clerk of common council, was unopposed for the oflice because council was so satisfied with his record that no other name would be considered. Mr. Loftus Is cashier In the Erie freight olllce.
