While the aldermen nro taking time to make up their minds what they will do about It , the republican contingent will see tlio men who signed tlio petition and llnd out , If possible , whether they signed for tlio pur pose of making political capital out of the previous action of llio council or because they really think tbo department too small. The majority of the council , from their talk last evening , are decidedly opposed to re scinding their llrst notion , and will not do so unless considerable pressure Is brought to bear upon them.

He decided that the Bal- lingall will is void , and that the Ballingall hotel and other property instead of going to tbo city shall go to the heirs. The city library gets a valuable lot , however , that clause of the will being sustained. The heirs are Mrs. von Holtzschuhcrr , wife of Count Oscar von Holtxschuhcrr. David Hedge and Mrs. Martha Thomas. The latter disap peared some years ago and nothing Is known as to her whereabouts. She has a son Bert , 12 years of age , living in this city , who will fall heir to her fortune. Thei-o were two clauses of the will , the eighth and ninth , which were attacked.

Immediately after the organization had been accomplished , however , the board made a peculiar departure by going into executive session for the discussion of matters which some of the members evidently thought were too sacred or important for the oars of the common herd and for the pencils of tlio reiKirters. The election of ofllcers was accomplished without the slightest ripple of contention. Secretary Conoyor called the board to order and road the certificates of election of the flvo now members , The gentlemen who took their seats last night as members of tbo board for the llrst time were Dr. Joseph T. Duryca , U. F. Thomas. Henry Ktiodell , Henry C. Akin and J , F. Burgess. They take the places made vacant by the expiration of the terms of Dr. S. K. Spaldlng , .1. ,1. Points , W. S.

The llrst ballot re sulted hi the election of Mr. Clinton N. Pow ell , Ho was escorted to the chair by Messrs Coryell and Morrison. Mr. Powell tlmnlcod tbo members * of tbo board for the honor bestowed , and said .that whtlo ho did not tlilul : for an in- statit that ho would bo able to fill the Important position to which he had been elected without malting some mistakes , yet ho would do the very best he could , and he hoped that his relations with every member of the board might bo stieh as would redound to tbo credit of tbo organiza tion and lo the benellt of the school system of Omaha , Any mistakes ho inizht make would bu mistimes of judgment rather than intentional errors. dirycll Iteeinled ; Mr. Coryell offered. In the form of a mso- lution , a series of rules for tbo guidance of the board for the coming year. The rules submitted wore substantially tbo same as those adopted last year , with the ex ception of placing tlio power to ap point the standing committees la the hands of the president instead of leaving this work to the voice of tbo board. This was simply a returning to the former regime. The ap pointive power was rudely snatched away from President Spalding last year before bo could take a full breath with which to read the names of the Various committees on tbo slice' of paper which lie held hi bis baud. That was the beginning of tbo potty warfare - faro that continued nil through the year and Mr. Coryell was one of the members who : iclpod to inaugurate it , Last night he np- iieurcd In a different role and introduced tbo resolution whic'liindid tbo vcr.\ thing that lie helped to do a year ago. Mr. U. E. Babcock wanted souTe changes made in the rules submitted by Mr. Coryojl. He held that there \\-ere \ too many committees and that tbc work of the board would bo better attended to it tbo committees were fewer and larger. After some discussion , tbe rules as sub mitted by Mr. Coryell were adopted. They provided for tbo usual fourteen standing committees , Standing Committees.

After some discussion tbo committee was requested to bring in a written report. \VhlIo In Kxrrullvn Sr.sxlon , And right hero tbc board proceeded to create a tempest in a teapot by going into executive session. It was supposed by some who ilngorcil in the lobby that the board was discussing something of momentous im portance while behind bolted doors , but tbo discussion was nothing more thaiui rambling talk by different members about the ad visability of ripping tbo old rules and regulations uu the back and beginning all over again.
