FRANKFORT , Ky. , April 2. No quorum voted today , and the twenty second ballot devclopqd oply Hunter's strength , which .would have been within three votes of an election had the Blackburn people and tan anti-Hunter republicans voted. The demo crats and republican bolters feared that the Huntcrttos were about to put up some Job ou them whcu the joint assembly was calle < to enl r , and declined to answer to their names at roll call. Sixty-five answered , bu sixty-nine wore neccamy to a quorum. However - over , President Worthlngton , who has rulei very liberally on this point , ordered the twenty-second ballot , which resulted : Hun ter , fi5 ; Davle , 7 ; Doyle , 1. Total , 63. No election , and the joint assembly adjourned. The Ilunterltcfi were very much chagrined after the joint assembly had adjourned bc- cause ot the fact that the opposition could break a quorum whenever It pleased. "It may bo able to break a quorum , " said Dr. Hunter In answer to a question , "but It never can consolidate on any candidate. I shall ' not withdraw until a now caucus , reg ularly called and constituted , shall remove me. If no bonator la elected , and the state Is Impoverished to the extent of $15,000 or J20.000 , let the blams. . rest where It belongs , on the traitors to the republican party who have betrayed It Into the hands ot an Im placable enemy.

An ordinance providing for the Inspection of all matters and things pertaining to the sanitary 'condition ot the city , defining the dutlra of the Inspector and providing for a penalty for the violation of the same , ana been prepared by City Attorney Montgomery and will bo Introduced at the next meeting of the city council. Mention was made some tlmo ago of the provisions of this ordinance as far as sanitary Inspection and the Inspec tion of food and fruit went. The section regulating Ice dealers was not , however , pre pared until just recently. Councilman Cold- well was the Instigator ot the move to In spect the Ice sold to consumers In this city and In the Interest of this ordinance ho sent to Chicago for a copy of the regulations In use there. The section devoted to Ice is as follows ! All of the Ice sold and delivered within the city of South Omaha for domestic use shall bo purts and healthful and free from matter deleterious to health , and such Ice , within the meaning of this ordinance , shall bo Ice which , upon cliumlc.il and bacteri ological examination , shall bo found to be free from nitrates , nitrites and pathogenic bacteria and to contain not more tlmn 9-l.OtW of one part ot. frco ammonia and ! ) -100 of ono part of albuminoid ammonia In 100.000 parts , and In respect to which the loss on Ignition shall be less than one- half of the total solids. All of the local dealers In Ice , with the possible exception of ono flrni , are In favor of the ordinance , as are also quite a num ber of consumers of Ice who have been spoken to about the matter. In connection with this ordinance , Council man Caldwcll has had his attention called to the Ice whlchi was cut on the pond at Jotter's brewery last whiter. This ice , < it Is claimed , Is totally unfit for domestic use. Within a short distance of the pond Is a cemetery , a cow pasture , slop houses , etc. Further , it Is claimed that a great deal ot the wash from tllo barns close by goes Into the pond , besides the natural wash from barn yards , pig pens , cow pastures and the like which are to bo found In the Immediate vicinity. The pond Is , It Is claimed , 'nothing but n pool of stagnant water , -which la not fit to drink at any time ot the year , consequently quently the ice cut on such a place could not bo fit to use for anything except cooling purposes. It Is the lu ten Wan of the authorities to take samples of Ice offered for sale from each wagon once aweek or oftener. These samples are to bo submitted to a chemical test , to determine the amount of decom posed matter , etc. A flno of $50 will be lin- poaod upon the person found Gelling let- which will not stand the test prescribed In the ordinance. Petition , the The members ot the South Omaha bar yesterday forwarded two petitions to Kdson Rich , chairman of the judiciary committee , relative to house roll No. COO , the superior court bill. Ono of the petitions was signed by the entire .bar , with the exception of ono or two members. The other was signed by prominent citizens and taxpayers of this city. The object and purposes of the pe titions are to urge speedy action on the part of the legislature looking to a speedy passage of the bill. Friends of the bill claim that Instead ot being an expense to the city it would be a oourco ot consider able revenue outside of all necessary ex penses to maintain the court. They claim that the advance fee necessary to Institute art action In the superior court would more than pay all of the expenses of the court , leaving all costs which follow the suits as a source of revenue to the city. Further more , friends of the bill assert that one of the most Intolerable evils of the present judicial system la the justice and police courts , and that Injustice Is done in more cases than Justice. There is virtually no opposition to the bill among the attorneys ' here. True , the Justices of the peace and the police ' , Judge are inclined to enter a , protest.'but the frfenilfl.of . ktho TU1 say that the opposition flf these people..Is not far. reaching enough to do the-bill any Injury. Officer Ilrowii HelenHcd. Police Officer Brown has drawn his last day's pay from the city. He was notified of this fact at roll call last night. According - , ing to statements made by those in authority Officer Brown on last Monday night acquired a largo and enthusiastic Jag , and in order to let people who might be sleeping know that he was on earth and walking his beat ho fired his revolver In the air five times , Officer John Riches and Night Watchman Murphy hurrhd to Brown to see what was the cause of the shooting. AVhen they discovered the condition of the officer they left him after admonishing him to shoot no more. The matter was reported to Mayor Ensor , who promptly discharged Brown and appointed Tom Montague to fill ths vacancy. Officer Riches was laid off five days for not arresting Brown when ho found him drunk ou ( the streets. Will Order a Xeiv Ilrld e. A special committee of the city council compoasil of Messrs.

At the monthly mooting of the Chamber of Commerce the report of the committee on foreign commerce and the revenue laws aubmttUd the follow ing report , which was almost unanimously adopted : "Your committee have not felt called upon to undertake a comparison of the change * proposed In tl.o pending tariff bill , In view of Its voluminous character. They doom It sufficient to call attention to the very ma terial Increase In many ot the rates con tained In the bill. There changes , together with other now features Introduced by the farmers , will affect the entire business In terests of the country to n very mnrkcd ex tent and call for the thoughtful considera tion ot this chamber. "H Is the opinion of your commutes that the business men of tills country dcslro nothing more earnestly than an extended period of rest and coalition from continued tariff agitation and tariff changes. They realize the fact that the party In power In committed to a change In the tariff In the direction ot greater revenue and of higher protection. They demand , however , that whatever rates and system of taxation are adopted they shall bo so reasonable and conservative and shall so commend them selves to the majority of the Intelligent voters of the land that the tariff frankly may bo regarded as settled , and not provocative of an early reaction , rendering all buplnrsa calculations and enterprise uncertain and hazardous , retarding prosperity and affording a welcome opportunity to the advocates of free silver coinage and disastrous financial schemes for th ? spreading of their peculiar doctrine ? . "Regarding the proposed measure from thla point of view , your commtttss begs leave to offer the following resolution for adoption by the chamber : "Resolved , That the Chamber of Commerce of the Plate of New York express Its earnest conviction that the tariff bill now before the house of representatives In many of Us provisions is excessive and llksly to Invlto reaction harmful to business and to the brat Interests of the country , and that It should bo carefully revised In the direction ot a reduction of the rates of duty proposed , to the end that a njstem of tariff taxation may bo adopted that shall bo reasonably permanent , anil that phall Insure to the business Inter ests of the country a certain measure of Immunity from early change. "Resolved , That the Chamber of Com merce of the state ot Now York Invites the co-operation of the commercial and trade organizations of other cities throughout the country in urging theixj views upon con gress.
