Incidentally, the rule of Thomas W. Flnucans and Jacob Garl-lug, in Monroe, will be contested by the Ward-Tracy faction.
The decision to Join battle at the primaries with the Tammany forces was caused by the action of the New York convention, which was dominated by Murphy and Conners and their Last Saturday Democrats from all parts of the state held a conference at Utica to devise means of protesting effectively against such tactics and to take action looking to the purging of the party of such men as Murphy and Conners.

It was reported yesterday that the Appellate Division of the Second Department, New York city, bad affirmed an order of examination of Albert 0. Fenu in the action brought by Julia Defeiulorf, one of the I', S. I. telephone losei.
(Mrs. Defeiulorf sought to obtain sufficient facts on which to base her complaint in an action against the directors of the company. The report of the affirmation of the order could not be verified. ,1. M.
E. O'tirady, attorney for Mrs; I ef etidnrf had received letter from Kl-bridge L. Adams, now in New York, to the effect that the Appellate Division had affirmed the order, but hud modified that part relating to Mr. Fenn's examination. Mr.

Then aomebody woke up. The Common Council repealed, by a joker ordinance known only to a few, the Sunday amusement law and repealed It by unanimous vote. Just before the meeting waa adjourend, the Joker was discovered, the vole was reconsidered aud the repealing ordinance referred to the Law Committee, which practically kills It.
Before the meeting the Democratic aldermen held a conference in the inner office of City Clerk Ward. It was then agreed that. Alderman Buckley, of the Eighteenth ward, was to introduce the repealing ordinance, it must be said in Justice to some of the Democrats that, they were opposed to this action, but they were apathetic In their opposition. In the course of the business of the open session later on Alderman Buckley duly introduced an ordinance formally repealing section 39 of the licensed occupations law. Not a Vote in Opposition.
Nothing in this ordinance indicated what section 39 was, and a'l the aldermen except Ward, Peck and Kiefer, who were absent, voted for the repeal. City Clerk Ward then went on with other business. Section 39 provides that "showmen shall not give any theatrical representation, circus or other shows on Corporation Counsel Webb later looked up the ordinance. In some way it got to Alderman Pavlour, of the Tweirth ward, what it was all about, and more than an hour after the repeal went into effect he moved to reconsider the vote. Alderman Paviour said that he had been recorded as voting aye on the repealing ordinance.
He said he did not know at the time what the ordinance was, but had found out that it related to Sunday amusements. He wished, therefore, to be recorded correctly and wanted the vote reconsidered. Alderman Stand was on his feet In an instant and said he would be ashamed of himself to acknowledge that he had been asleep wheu any ordinance of the council was passed. Alderman Pavlour insisted on his motion, and President Dwyer ruled thai of the Law Committee. It provides that where a man owns five dogs or more he may take out a kennel license for $10 and he will be entitled to as many tags as he has dogs, provided he pays 10 cents each for every tag over fifteen.
The first ordinances for improvements Included pavements for Evergreen and Tacoma streets. There was a large number of pavements in the Anal ordinances. When the ordinance for the paving of Meigs street, between East and Monroe avenues came up, Samuel B. Williams presented a petition designating resurfacing with madam as the kind of improvement to be made. Action was postponed to the next meeting.
Meigs street ordinances covering the roadway between Caroline and Linden streets and between Caroline and Rockingham streets were adopted. Other final ordinances adopted included pavements for Durgin alley, Andrews street, Albemarle street, Lans-dale, Pembroke and Nelson streets, Stewart and Winter streets extensions of Normandy, Woodbine and Warwick avenues. Flower City park, 71 uting-ton park, Hollister street pavements, Rutgers and Richard streets extensions were put over two weeks. Other finals were for sweeping and cleaning, flushing, sprinkling, care and embellishment of streets and cement walks. COUNnW.CT,U."iSTITUTE Rochester Workers Hare Prominant Part in Annual Meeting.
