Interesting, Thrilling Keating. , '
l Suffering' from political intoxie-
tion and effusing with fret nl un
limited talk the second meeting of
the new board of aldermen entered
into the municipal history of Concord
last night. It was interesting, it wag
thrilling, it waa evenlfuL-it wm talk-
" ative, but above all it waa political.
' It waa a matching together of, two
political wits of two -opposing fae-
: tiona and they bumped together with
Trashing, thrilling, resounding bumps.
Evenly divided the -factions: . stood.
"teach one mustering three votes and
' the balance of power, centered in the
mayor's ehairc 0n' faction " fought
for opportunity to reach the balance
.'of power," the other ; ought', to keep
from reaching it,- There were two floor
, leaders and, strsnge as it may appear
in.e governing body, both were minor-r-ity
leaders. From a spectator's point
: - of view. Alderman Ritchie was land
, ing llit-: Democratic -minority, . being
matched against : Alderman Cook of
the Citizens minority. The : 'little
' ".court room was packed near untosuf-
location, but despite the stifl'ng ,nt
mosnhere the' crowd held ' on , and
v watched the iproeeedinge . with "eager (
and apparently increasing: irterest.
At thrilling juncture ll-cy broke
forth in applause and at every junc
ture they manifested interest, always
pushing forward to get a better view
and never -.toward, the put side, the
meeting proving the very kind they
" appeared.ro enjoy and what the board
lacked ihe power of 'electing people
--' it made np in interest for 4 he citizens
' who aided 'in electing them." Tor

The third ballot was about to be
taken when Mr , J.. .Harvey vDortpn
arose and announced that the June
meeting of the board was the .regular
time for tha election of, a chief of the
fire department. .The board decided
to postpone balloting on the other
ofneers for the time being and go into
the election of a Ore chief. This was
done, and the batteries of talk -were
opened and kept up an incessant fire
for one "hour and ttlrty minutes, one
of the liveliest aldermanie' wrangles
on record ensuing.- -.; x . ' -Mr.
Dorton read , to; the board a
communication,-, which had been - pre
ciously . filed with the elerk by : the
fire department, ehdorsing Chief MiK
ler. ' . Mr.. Ritchie - nominated Miller
and Alderman Cook nominated Peck.
Mr, Dorton hurriedly arose and ask
ed that the name of Miller be voted
on first, stating that the firemen, had
recommended him for the place and
that if he was defeated they would
possibly recommend some : ' one " else.
Aldermen' Cook withdrew Mr. Peck 's
name upon this request.' . Aldermen
Bitehie again nominated Mr.. Miller.
The mayor ordered a rising vote;
"AH in favor of Miller.stand Up,r'
the mayor said. - Aldermen Love, Boet

At this, juncture Uf; ALT. Hart-
sell npon suggestion from Mr. W, 0,
Means raised the point; that- there
had been an election and Mr. Miller
nil been sleeted. ".Mr. -Ilartsell -stat
Cd that Miller had received three
votes and no one else' had received
any votes, -therefore he was elected.
. Mr. T. U, Maness said that the
board was not voting on Millei"s
election but was voting on the recom
mendation From the firemen, submit
ted by Mr. Dorton.
Mr. W. U. Means said that in (lis
opinion Miller had been ! elected.
"There .is no such thing in' parlia-
meniary law, ' tie said, "as one man
being put in nommatfor for anV of

nomination, the end in eiew of de

accomplished by putting jn nomioa
tion an adversary.' . 4 .; i:..- .
Mr. Widenhouse moved, that the
vote be reconsidered. Citv Attorney
Hartsell stated that it would be nec
essary foi a motion to reconsider to
come from either Messrs.- Lovei Post

City Attorney Hartsell J opinion
was again sought by: the mayor and
again the city attorney gave his opin
ion that Miller had been elected. He
added that the only way a .motion
could be made to ' reconsider , was to
come from Aldermen '.Love,. Bitehie
or Host,
Alderman Ritchie declared that he
voted for- Miller because the firemen
reeommenoea mm ana that he was

LEST. BETWEEN ANIMAL AND

Mr. W. H. StalUms. of He. 1L
Brings to the City f a Curiosity
Which Pusled Those Who Saw It
Mr. Q.. E. Smith Famishes the
Key to the Cations Paxils. ;
Mr. W. H."StaIlings, of Ko. 11
township, brought to our vtllce Thurs
day a curiosity, a link between the
animal and tho vegetable kingdoms.
xi was xonnd ov bia son. Leiteh. nn
his ; farm. . Mr. 'Stallion created
much interest on the streets by ex
hibiting the V animal, " ' and -'could
find no one who eould enlighten him
in regard to it until he struck Mr.
K. Smith. Mr. Smith had
ly fun aeross magaaine ; article
written . by D. v W. O. Fagam which
fits the ease exactly, The article is
headed,. - ."The Queerest Insect jon
Earth," and the name of the insect
is the pepe-aweto, a species of eater
pillar; The pepe-aweto, in its trav
els, strikes up with a vegetable fun-;
gus-spore.;. The spore lodges on the
animal's neck 'nd clamp ing itself
ith hook -like tentacles between the
head and the first .wing fold of the
body, refuses to be got rid of. ; The
article goes on to 'ssy irf i 'v'.-r-;
The fungus-bpore -classified scien
tifically as . Spmria. Robertsii loses
no time, but, germinating where it
has lodged, pushes its roots-into the
body of its host, and at the same time
sends forth a item 'at right -angles
to the insect's neck, ' ':.''' ';
" At the commencement of tins'-sort
of partnership existence,, and - until
tbe plant-stem attains to a height of
two or three inches, the presence of
its parasitic guest apparently causes
the caterpillar little inconvenience,
andjm disturbing the soil around the
tree-roots it may be found moving
freely among the loose humus, bear
ing tbe budding plant-stem ' on its
back. The respite is short, however.
The .young plant grows apace; and
the caterpillar,-giving np the battle,
performs . its' bwn obsequies, burying
itself to tho -depth of tw or three
inches at the root of a tree: -. .
From this time forth its body be
comes an animal tuber to a vegetable
growth. : The plant develops with a
quite malign vitality, and, penetrat
ing the sou above the insect s body,
stands up to a height of ten or twelve
inches: above the ground. The ma
ture plant, which resembles a dimin
utive bulrush, consists solelv of a
single stem, fleshy and of a pale green
colour, without leaves,- and capped
by the brown felt-hke head so fa
miliar in bulrushes. .'..; . r ; :
On ripening, the head, or seeditod,
bursts open, scattering a host of fresh
fungus-spores, to be again picked up
by next season s generation of cater
pillars. .-The bursting of the pod
marks the end. -Plant, and tuber
both die, becoming dry and hard, with
only a slight .diminution of living
size, and our original caterpillar has
become wood. ,.
During the process of growth the
fine rootlets of the plant have inter
penetrated the caterpillar s body, ex.
actly filling it in every particular, and
with no alternation of tihape in the
slightest degree, have substituted
vegetable for an animal substance. So
delicately has this i.cess been car-
ried out that no structural change is
observable.-' Un cross-section under
the microscope the alimentary canal
and other organs of the caternillar'i
body are shown with no trace of dis
placement whatsoever. '-.:'
