He claimed that Ald, Litton had made an unjustifiable statement with regard to his buildings. Aud. Litton declared that he had made no reflection on Ald. Graham, but had simply stated that the plumbing n- spector had to make three or four trips to the houses in question. the argument between the two city fathers waxed warm, each defying the other to do his worst, and enlookers' expected that there would be a mix: up. Ald. Harrison, who was present, advised his council comrades to Stop wrangling and make-up. The dispute continued for about ten minutes, when Ald. Graham left the city hall, leaving Ald. Litton smoking his cigar as if nothing had happened. LATE MRS. EDWARD BRYANT. Of Concession Street Died on ) day Night.
