Some were there for fighting. some for drunkenness, and some for gen- eral deviltry. When they were sizod up in the jul yesterday preparatory to the march to police court, there were fourteen answered to their names, The police court room was crowded as usual on Monday, with spectators, A complaint was filed against (ieorge Raven for taking, insulting and resisting an officor, Matshal Cnmmings withdrew the charge for some reason best known to himself and Raven was relessed.

Said that he had ion fund had been raised in Lincoln and that on its distribution a remarkable change came over the spirit of the op- position and the necessary number of votes changed from no to yes to make the bill a law. The investigation of bribery however, doveloped nothing, Mr. Moni- gomery refused to give the names and othor information in his possession, and those who were known to be participants in tho steal denied all knowledge of tho transaction. Now comes Mr. Montcom- ory, and in a public specch beforo the Cloveland and Hondricks club in this city last Saturday night, gives tho following particvlars of the purchase of votes to sccure tho passage of the capitol bill: MONTGOMERY'S STATEMENT, ¢ During the session of the last legis- Iture,” said Mr, Montgomery, 1 was in Lincoln, and 1 know pretty well how legislation is procured,and how money is distributed to securo tho passage of bills in the interest of the Lincoln ring. Dur- ing tho pendency of the bill appropriat- ing money to oomplete the capitol build- ing, the opposition was 8o strong that it was necessary to buy off certain members of the house, A fund was_raised by the merchants of Lincoln and the amount divided and PLACED IN BLANK ENVELOVES Theso envelopes wero placed in the treasurer’s office in the capitol. From there they were taken by Tom Kennord and C. C. Burr to an adjoining room,and the names of the membera for whom they were intendod written on the envelopes, and left on the table where the bribed law-makers vrore to find them. One of the members from the western part of the state, but wwho has moved to and is now living in Omaha, ceived one of the enyelopes containing IVE HUNDRED DOLLAR! C. C. Burr, of Lincoln, also received five hundred dollars for his share in the work. This man Durr is again a ocandi- date for re-election to the legislature from Lancaster county and I suppose his great servies to the Lincoln ring will be rowarded with election. On my way back to Omaha 1 mentioned these facts to a friend and Mr. Rosewator, of Tue Ber overheard tho conversation and published the substanco of it, An in- vestigation was ordered by the house and 1 was summoned to_appear beforo the committee. 1 called on my father in Lincoln and asked him to repeat ZUE STORY OF THE BRIBERY As I had told it to him. I did this to make sure that I had used no names, be- causo having got the facts in confidence I did not feel at liberty to give the names of my informants or the participantsir. the myself, by direction ¢f pared all blanks and forma of bonds for this purpose, and consulting, as we thought, the best interests of the city, we made the bonds payable, one-fourth in one year, one-fourth in two years, one- fourth inthree years and one-fourth in four years, so that as paving taxes were paid in theto would be bonds each year which we could call in and pay off “and not allow idle money to accumulate. Our forms were adopted by the council and such bonds and no others issued, As sn illustration of the working of this method, take district No. 2, on Tenth street. The whole cost of paving that district, chargeabls to property owners was $37,331.65 and to raise the money to pay contractors, the city could have issued bonds for all that amount but believing that many would pay promptly in full, instead of in four year- ly payments as they had the right to do, wo issued bonds for only §32,000. The tax-payers did pay o promptly that ~there was money to pay the contractorsthe difference between the amount of bonds issued aud the whole cont of paving, and also the treasurer has been able under direction of council to buy in at parand cancel before they were due £12,000 of the £32,000¢f bondsissued. So that of bonds issued to pay for pa that district there is now outstanding only $20,000, How much of idle money do you think there is in the treasury be- longing to thet district paving fand’ On the first of this month thero was just 82 806, TIn the fund for pavinyg Sicteenth strect there was on the lst inst, between four and five thousand dollars, which I am trying to increase to $8,000 by Oct. 1st, in order to pay for 8,000 of bonds which will then be due and must be paid. All the other distrist paving funds have been managed in the same way, and whenever money of any amount has accumulated bonds have been sought for and taken in at par. 1f in the future, s our bonds of the different districts become duein one, two, three, or four years, thero shall have been paid in of taxes sullicient to meet them in all cases, 1 for one shall be content, and shall consider the financial part of our paving schemes a great suc- cens, Tho last point in your articlo is that the mayor and council should require the treasurer to make detailed reporte as to the amount actually in hand in each fund. The city charter requires the treasurer to make, every month, just such reports and in the city clerk’s office there are now on file my reports for every month nince I entered the offico, except the lnst and that will be ready in a day or two. ‘Theso monthly reporta show the balance in each and every fund at last veport, the amounts collected, the amounte paid out and the balance on hand in each and every fund on_the last day of e month, Now, Mr, Xditor, as you have consid- ered these matters of sulficient importance to entitle them to extended editorial no- tice, will you please allow your readers to know, as T thick they will by reading the sbove, that ull these mattera to which your article objects, do not exist, and that all those things which you say ought to be done, have already been done. {ours truly Truway Buck, City Treasurer: B — Real Estate Transiers, Tho following the county clerk’s offico yesterday and reported for Tus Bre by Ames’ real es- tate agency, September 6 : 0.

Onmy way to the committeo room I MET BURR, and he asked me if 1 proposed to give the names away. 1 told him I would not. 1 testified before the committee in a general way, but declined to give the names. To my astonishment Burr follow- ed me into the committes room and swore point blank to a falsehood; actu- ally perjured himself by denying any and all knowledgeof the transactions.” “‘These are the kind of men,” continu- ed Mr. Montgomery, “‘whom the repub- lican party machine delight to honor.” THE CITY PRINTING, Judge Wakely lt’n-::;vr.u His Dec sion in Itegard to the Contract, Judge Wakely, in the district court, has rendered his decision in regard to the city printing, which matter was taken bo- foro him by the Dispatch. Brother asked for an injunction to re- strain the mayor and council from letting tho contract for the city printing to any other paper than the Dispateh, claiming that the contract had boen regularly let to that paper. Judge Wakely granted a temporary injunction, heard the attor neys upon both sides, and took the mat- ter under advisement, Ho now renders his final decision, which is adverse to the Dispatch. He says that no contract can be let by the city without tho tho mayor and council, and as Omaha is now with- out a mayor that the contract for city printing cannot bo lot to the Dispatch or uny other paper.
