Aadress RICHARD & CLARKE, Omaha, Neb’ CDUNCI[ BlUFFS ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS, THE CITY'S CREDIT. The Bonds Drew High Intorest Last Night at Last, Mayor Vaughan Tries to Borrow Money on Them. The City Administration Given Some Sharp Talk, There was considerable interest felt in the meeting of the city council last even ing, as it was expected that the financial troubles and bond selling trials would come up and that some of the citiens would have something to say. The mayor and committee had not returned from Now York, but from them seemed discouraging.} JAldermen James, Siedentopf ana McMahon were firat pres- ent, and a large number of citizons, and the expectant crowd were kept waiting until nearly 9 o'clock bofore Alderman Keating arrived making a quorum. Some routine business, allow- ance of bills, etc., was first attended to. Then the bond matter came up., Alder- man Seidentopf said the last he heard of the committee was a week ago Saturday, and he did not know where they were except by rumor. Alderman Jamos stated the situation the contractors hav- ing done a p 't of their work, and yot the city not heing able to pay any cash, because of its fallure thus far to nego- tiate its bonds, He believed that the bonds could be disposed of through the banks of tme city, a1 he thought the bonds were good. He de- sired to hear from some of the bankers present. M., A. W. Street stated that thebonds were taken to New York with the city treasurer, Mr. Clausen, as custodian, and deposited in the Park National bank of Neow York for safe kcoplll-_,. Mr. Street, advices representing the Citizens’ bank, said ho recelved a telegram from the Park National bank, of New York, saying “Mayor Vaughan wants to borrow 850,000 on the city bonds. Shall wo mako such a loan for your bank for his use!” Mr. Sireet said ho had replied that thecitizen’s bank did not want anything to. do with such a loan, and would not endorse any such loan. He did not want to interfere with any arrangements of the city, but the citizen's bank did not want to get en- tangled in any such matter as indicated by the telegram. This ennouncement that the mayor was trying to negotiate a loan on the bonds created quite a sensation. Judge James, who was president, asked the Citizens to express their views i view of the situation as it appeared now. C. R. Scott was called out. He said it was easy to find fault with the city “}l\l«w and Treasurer Clausson would arrive here in the morning, it was de cided to adjourn until 2 o'clock this after noon. e— A JOURNALISTIO FAILURE, 50,000 and then Not Mak- inga Newspaper G Sinking ncinnati F Jirer The News Journal was started fifteen months ago by a lot of gentlemen for the purpose of making a newspaper that would suit every individual connecg- od with it, There were about tifteen geutlomen who were the moving spirits, and every one of the fitteen got as many frionds as he coold to take stock in the concern. This capital stock was, wo be- lieve, §200,000 of which about £5,000 was pald in and spent. The people who have not pald their assessments on the stock, and perhaps never will without the courts make them, have not, however, been able to escape the liability and at- taches to a stocholder in the state of Ohio, which is liability for twico the amount of his subscription. The amount of cash subscribed was about £80,000 But that does not represent the amount of cash already sunk in the concern, for itdid a great deal of advertising,amount- ing probably to many thousands of dollars that was also poured into tho rat hole. At no time did the paper have over b, 000 dailies, and of that 5,000 there were not over 2,000 or 3,000 non-paying sub- scribers, It had a wuukl) of about 14-* 000, selling at 85 cents per copy per year, which, the reader can easily figure for himself, is but a little over a cent a copy for fifty-two copies a year. The average loss of money spent on the concern could not have fallen short of $4,000 a week. The stock-holders have nlrcmiy been ap- prised of the fact that they are debtors to the creditors such as paper-makers, machininists, correspondents, ote., and in due course of time will have their op- portunity to step into court and make a settlement. Sinco it has passed into the aaads of the Sun proprietors, through the court sale, the paper has cost at an average of 81,800 a week. To the out- sider this seems almost preposterous out of reason-—the Sun having been only a four page paper, and small at that. But the average white man does not un- derstand the cost of running a newspaper of to-day. The object of starting the Journal w as we said before, to have a newspaper. But there was another object, and per- haps it was deopor-seated than the nows- paper object. A lot of gentlemen in this county imagined themselves slighted, neglected and overlooked, and imagined if they only had a newspaper to publish wonders. Among the number were Mr, Alexander Long, who is now a confirmed invalid, Mr, George Hoadly, Mr. Frank Alter, Mr. John E. Bell, Mr, Charles Steele, Mr. William T. Bishop, Mr. W West, who is also an invalid at this time, and many othiers too numerous to mention, They imagined if they had a paper, sometbing that would put their mighty thoughts before the public, they would be able to control things, and con- trol, you know, is always a ver, desirable thing to have, parilcuintly when it doesn’t cost you very much, when you can croep behind somebody olso wher commercial _responsibility or financial their ideas they could accomplish many | C.

This wey w Vaughan had been doing with the §600, and now ho wanted to borrow $50,000 on the bunds, not for the city’s vse, but for *‘his use,” as says the telegram, If any citizen sent a man lerat on private sy ness, and acted thus foolishly, he would be called back. No wonder that the capi” 'tsts of New York would not +ouch the honcs. Mr. Scott then went for the council and administration, He said only two streets in the ciiy were fit for travel Un less there wrs some radic.l change in the mode of running the city, in less than thr-o months the city and the city government would be buried out of sight. Wa..ants could not be given away. He said the great mistake was that the banks here wero ignorcd, and a com nittse sent east. Ald. Sicdentopf said that only the Citizens’ bank and Buinham, Tulleys & Co. would eay a good word for the bonds. and that Contract>r Rer7an agreed to pay tho expenses of the committeo ** they did not soll theae honde, Mr. Scott soid_that even if this aree- ment wos inwritingitamounted to noth- ing and city attorney Holmes wanted to know if it was at the secrot mesting of the council that Reazan made th s » sree- ment, There was no answer, Mr, Street, of the Citizen’s bank and Mr. McDowell, of Burnham, Talleys & Co,, both said the trouble they had met with was to eatisfy those with whom they were negotiating, of the legality of the bonds, City Attorney Holmes made an earnest speech in defense of his own record. He said he had objected to ordinances drawn up by private p.tties, and they were passed despite his protest and azainst his advice. Ho had been hampered by members of 'the councll, inter- fered with by outside parcies, and his advice ridden over. He did not pro- pose t) be censur-d for even's lor which ne was not responsible, when he had not shirked his duty, and had done Fis best to maintein his rights, He brd not been invited to the secret meeting of the council which sent the committee t » New York. He believed the bonds were le- gal, and if proper men bad the negotia- tion of them they could be sold in ten days. Alderman James said that the ques- tion of legality seemed to be wholly on the question of the constitutional limit, Judge Wcods of Chicazo, who is author- ity on such points amon the brokers and bankers there, had told him the bonds were all right. Alderman James wanted the sale of the bonds placed in the hands of the banks of the city, Alderman Keating saw no occesion for unepsiness. Tae bonds had not been out of the engraver's hands a month, As one of the *star chamber” meeting he explained that the “intention was not to give too much publicity less it hurt the sale of bonds. They had better wait a little for the commitiee to report, He had seen letters that the best New York authorities}had said the bonds were good but it took time to sell them, Mr, Scott ealled attention to the fact the school district bonds sold before the ink was dry, The trouble with the city bonds was that the city council was not doing its business as they did their pri vate business, I it being understood that Alderman “| stolen about $1€),00) and cscaped & re- | —— [TuLER l-h\VAlll). How it Was Divided and Who G>tsit, TH l‘ The division of the reward for the ar- rest of Prentice Tiller, which threatened at one time to create £3 much turmoil as the robbeig, hes at lest beon amic.bly adjusted amony the difforent cluiments. I'he following dlupntch from Milwaukee to the New York Times explains the matter: Mitwavkee, Wis,, Aug. 12.—When the fact wrs discovered some months 270 that Pren‘ice Tiller, ayent for the Pa- cific express compeny at St Louis, had ward of 10,000 wes offered for the cap- ture of the thief and recove.y of the money. Tiller weia=rested in this city and £55,0)0 of the stolen money recav ered. Tho arrsst was brought about by Tiller vieiting a trank store and pur- chasing a new trunk. which he directed to be sent t) Datroit. He left a hcavy satchel to be placed in the new trunk when it wes shipped, Two clerks in the trunk store—William Dooley and Charles J. Jettas—opened the sathel and began prying into ‘s contents, They were almost paralyzed t) find huge At of crisp new greenbacks, bonds, and vai.ous other secuvrities, At a glance they raw that there was over 850,000 in the satchel, The propiietor of the store w. 3 notified, and 23 much of the money wev iu enyelopes marked “Pacilic Kxgcass company,” it was quickly seen *hat the funds stolen a fow days previously were in the strange man’s satchel, When Tiller ca'lc1 to give some instruc’ions about forwarding his new truuk he wey arrested and turned over to the police. The two pryirg clerks, the police force, one or two detectives and the owner of the t.ank store at once put in claims for tho rewaid.
