Business, forgetfulness or disinclination to attend on the part of the cit\ fathers la t night made it Itnpo sible to hold a council meeting. Two of the members were out of the city, and three were at the city hall, and one was not accounted for. As four were necessary to a quorum, and as the fourth member failed to appear, the mayor, after waiting till nearly eight o'clock adjourned the meeting. It is probable that a special session will be called to attend to the business left unfinished by last night's adjournment. Evidently even the city council is suffering from that remarkable attention to business that has been characteristic of all our people since the election Many could not leave their own work to take up that of the city.
