Re-Organlzation of the Borough Council
Left t) Eight Members.
SEYEN GOT HUFFED AND BOLTED.
The Citizens Members Elected James Presi
dent, Watktns Secretary, Davles Treas
urer, Fomeroy Solicitor, Llewellyn
Supervisor, and Tosh Chief.
Ono of tlio most stormy meetings ever hold
by the, Borough Council was tbo session held
last night, at which tho Citizens members
assumed control and elected a corps of olll
cials for tho fiscal year according to their
own choice. Tho meeting was very much
like, if not a duplicate of tho famous meet
ing held ten years ago when tho Citizens and
Democratic members wero a tlo and Council
was In a deadlock for several weeks after.
Tho Citizens members went into tho meet
ing last night thoroughly organized and
with a well arranged program to combat tho
threatened movement of tho Democrats to
declare tho scat of Councilman James Me
Elhcnny vacant and throw Council into n
deadlock. Tho ellect of this would bavo
been a contiuuanco of tho old olllcials in
office until noxt spring, or such tlmo as some
ono on one sldo or tho other would surren
der. It was about ton minutes of eight o'clock
when tho Citizens members cntcrod tho
Council chamber last night. Tho Demo
cratic members woro patiently awaiting their
arrival and President McGuiro lost no tlmo
in calling tho meeting to order. There woro
in attendance Councilmen JlcOuirc, Kann.
O'llrien, Iloehm, SIcKlhenny, Magargle, T.
J. James, Straughn, I). 1!. James, Galligau,
Kerns, Gable, Dougherty, Hand and Keeso.
Councilmon-elcct Edward Murphy, Daniel
Coakley and Conrad Englert wero also in
attendance. Tbo resolution of Council to
bar the attendance of curious spectators was
enforced by tho pollco and not moro than
half a dozen other than olllcials wero in tho
chamber.
Council proceeded to wind up tho business
for tho old year and started out by accepting
a report by tho loads and highways com
mittee rejecting a claim of $3 damages by
Christ. Schmidt, who alleges that ono of his
wagons sLilcrcd on account of West Coal
street being in bad condition. Tho com-
mitteo, through Mr. Kane, stated that It
could not confirm tho statement and the
wagon must havo sufl'cred by one of tho
wheels catching in tho electric railway track.
Mr. Gablo stated that tho firo alarm wires
required repairs and the firo apparatus com
mitteo was instructed to attend to them.
It was decided to uso gas in illuminating
tho liascment of tho borough building.
Tho firo at tho lockup was officially ro
ported, but no step will bo taken towards
making repairs until aftor tho insuranco ad
justers act.
Tho Shenandoah Citizens Water and Gas
Company presented a bill for $3,732.27, em
bracing tho judgment recovered against tho
borough in October, 1691, interest at 0 per
cent, from that dato and water supplied for
tho ilro plugs from April 1st, 1889, to Janu
ary 1st, 1890. The bill was laid over for
consideration by tho now Council and upon
motion of Mr. Kano it was decided to cut tho
fire plugs from tho scrvicoof tho water com
pany as soon as practicable and connect them
with tho mains of tho publio water works.
As tho tlmo for re-organizing drow near
Mr. Kerns aroso and stated that Mr. Mc
Elhcnuy had not boon a resident of tho
Second ward for 8 or 0 months and ho was
ineligible to act as a Councilman.
Mr. Hand aroso and stated that in vlow of
tho circumstances ho would declaro Mr.
McElhcnny's scat vacant. ,
Mr. Gablo raised a point of order, claiming
that Mr. Hand had no power to declare tho
vacancy.
President McGuiro overruled the point
and upheld tho statements mado by Mr.
Kerns.
Mr. Kano was Indulging in an address on
tho same subject when Mr. Straughn raised
tho point that tho objections wero premature
as Mr. McElhonuy had not attempted to ex
ercise his right to vote at tho meeting. This
point was also overruled.
Finally Mr. McElhcnny took tho floor and,
in answer to Mr. Kano stated that no
saloon license for Mahauoy City had been
granted to blm and that ho still claimed his
residence in tho Second ward of tho bor
ough. Ho said ho was forced out of tho
ward last Juno by flro, but his household
goods are still in tho ward.
Mr. McElhenny also stated that Council
had no authority to declare his scat vacant
and tho only procedure to that end was
through quo warranto proceedings in court.
Mr, Straughn moved that Council adjourn
siuo die, but only a few voted and tho mo
tion was declared lost. A similar motion by
Mr. Kerns almost immediately aftor was cur
ried. Councilmcn-elcct Martin Lally and Daniel
Coakley, of tho First ward; John P. lioehm,
Second ward jT. J. James, Third ward; Con
rad Englert, Fourth ward, aud Edward
Murphy, Fifth ward, stopped forward and
wero sworn iu by tho Chief llurgesg.
Mr. McElhenny inoved that Mr. lleoso
act as temporary chairman.
Mr. J-illy jumped to his feet as Clerk
Watkinswas putting tho motion and veho
incntly objocted to Mr, McElhenny taking
part In the proceedings of Council, Messrs.
McGuiro, Coakley and Kerns joined iu tho
protest and all asked to havo their protests
recorded. Clerk Watklns recorded them and,
amid loud protests by Mr. Ijilly and others
against Mr. McElhcnny's right to take part
iu tho meeting, put tho motion aud declared
it carried.
Mr. Itceso took the chair aud Mr. Gablo
moved that W. J, Watklns bo mado tem
porary secietary.aud tho protests against Mr.
McElhenuy vyero renewed. Tho ayo and
nay voto was called for by Mr, McGuiro and
when Mr. McElhenny voted tho Democrats
agalu aroso In arms, but Clerk Watklns pro
ceeded with tho roll call, reported tho re
sult and Chairman Itceso declared tho motion
carried.
Tho confusion increased each moment.
Mr. McGuiro moved that Mr. McElhenuy's
voto be cancelled, but Chairman I!eo de
clared the motion out of order. Mr. Mc
Guiro appealed. Mr. Kerns moved that tho
appeal be sustained.
Chairman : "Wo don't recognizo any
thing like that."
Tho Democratic members becamo furious
and arose iu a body to leave tho Council
chamber, but found tho door locked. A
tussle then took place between Chief of
Pollco Tosh and three or four Councllinen,
tho furmer declining to open the dour until
ordoridbytho chairman. It looked as If
there would be a riot, but tho door was
opened and the seven Democratic members
filed out. Meanwhile the Citizen members
proceeded with tho permanent organization,
which was made ns follows : President, 1 .

SPAIN'S APOLOGY FOR OUTBREAKS
Though That Government is Doing Ita Best
to Suppress Demonstrations Against
Uncle Sam, the Feeling of Hatred
is Still Manifesting Itself.
Washington, March a. "Culm llhro"
had a field dny In tho houso yesterday.
Dosplto tho war talk from Spain, tho In
surgents In Cuba woro eulogized nnd sym
pathized with In a two hours' debate, and
tho rules wero thou susponded and the
resolutions by tho houso foreign nffalrs
committed wero adopted as n substitute
for thoso of tho senate by an overwhelm
ing majority 203 to 17. An analysis of
tho voto show-) that 18S Koimbllciins, 70
Democrat and 5 Populists voted for tho
resolution and 0 Republicans nnd 8 Dom
ocrats nirnlnst them. Tho dobnto which
preceded tholradoptlon was animated, and
breathed n spirit of liberty. At times It
was exceedingly drnmatlc, and ospeclally
when forebodings of war woro uttered, but
there wns no stemming tho strong tldo.
Tho sotting of tho scono wns brilliant.
Tho gallorles woro black with people at
tracted by tho prospect of tbo stirring
ovent. In tho reserved gallery woro many
promlnont personages. Even tho diplo
matic gallory, which Is usually ompty.wns
thronged with tho reprosontatlvos of for
eign countries. On tbo floor tho nttond-
nnco wns tho largest of tho session. A
number of sonators canto over from tho
other end of tho Capitol to watch tho pro
ceedings. Postmaster General Wilson
was on tho floor, and Gonoral Dan Sickles
of Now York, tho hero of Gettysburg, was
a conspicuous ilguro. It was ho who, as
minister to Spain, brought about tho
peaco of Zainpn, by which tho Cubans laid
down tholr arms in 1878 on tho promise of
reforms. Tho enthusiasm of tho members
and tho spectators ran riot sovoral times,
nnd tho resolution cut but a sorry flguro
when tlioy attempted a counter demon
strivtion.
Owing to tho brlof tlmo allotted for de
bate members wero fortunate In securing
two or throo minutes to prosont their
vlows. Mr. IHtt, chairman of tho foreign
nffalrs committee, in oponlng tho debate
was vory careful not to say anything that
might provo offensive. Ho referred to tho
consular reports as adequate proof that a
state of war oxlsted, and argued that
Spain, which had rocognlzod tho Confed
eracy before tho battlo of Jliull Itun, could
not tako offenso at our recognition of tho
Cubans.
Mr. Turner of Georgia, who led tho op
position, refused to credit tho stories of
butchery by tho Spaniards, characterizing
tho reports of our consuls as n "dreary
record of mutual incendiarism and assas
sination." Ho said ho was opposed to
recognizing belligerency for tbo samo
reasons that General Graut had given bo
tweon 1&08 nnd 1878. Ho also sncored at
tho president of tho Cuban republic, who
was a citizen of tho United States, and
hero, lnstoa'd of ii Cuba lighting for froo
dom. Sir. Smith of Michigan, a momber
of tho committee, oxprosscd tho hopo that
tho prosont quoon regent and emporor
would bo tho last of tho royal family to bo
consigned to tho tombs iu tho Escurinl
palaco, nnd that Spain, llko Franco, would
soon bo froo.
Mr. Adams of Pennsylvania, who was
minister to Hrazll at tho time of tho estab
lishment of tho Brazilian republic, referred
with prido to tho fact that under Mr.
Blnluo's dictation ho had been tho first to
recognize tho provisional government. Mr.
Iloutcllo emphasized his position of last
week against tho adoption of resolutions
that might load to war.
Tho tension wns somewhat rnlloved by
two humorous Incidents. Whllo Mr.
Smith wns dwelling on the horrors of tho
Spanish inquisition Mr. Iloutcllo raised a
laugh by jumping to his feet and nsklng
unanimous consent to abolish tbo Inquisi
tion. Mr. Hartboldt, a Missouri Hepubll
can, whoso accent clearly indicates his
German doscent, got a half minute to
plcdga tho support of tbo naturalized citl
zons to tbo causo of freedom, for which,
ho said, "our ancestors fought."
Thoso who voted In tho negative wero
Atwood, Boutollo, Gillett, Grout, MoCall,
Moody, Slmpklns, Walker and Wright,
Republicans, aud Black, Cobb, Culberson.
Elliott, Harrison, Hussoll, 'i'uokor and
Tumor, Domocrats.
Tho announcement win signal for nn
enthusiastic demonstration, in which tho
galleries heartily joined. For fully a min
ute tho hand clapping contiiiuod.
Tho hoiibo resolutions woro mndo it sub
stitute for tho resolutions passed by tbo
senate, which will bring about a confer
ence botweon tho two bodlos. Tho resolu
tions aro as follows!
Itosolved, by tho houso of reprosontatlvos
(tho senato concurring), that In tbo opin
ion of congress a state of publio war oxists
In Cuba, tbo parties to which nro entitled
to belligerent rights, nnd tho United Suites
should observe a strict neutrality between
tbo belligerents,
Itosolved, That congress deplores tho de
struction ot mo and property caused by
tbo war now waging In tho Island, and bo
llovlug that tho only pormauont solution
of tho contest, cqally in tho lutcrcst of
Spain, tho pcoplo of Cuba and other na
tions, would bo In tho establishment of a
government by tho choice of tho people of
Cuba, It Is tbo senso of congress that tho
government of ho United States should
uso Its good otliccs and friendly lullueuco
to that eud.
Itosolved, That tho United States has
not Intorveued In ktruggles botweon nuy
