CRUSHED IN THE SMELTERROLLS A Colored Woman who is After Human Gore — The Gas Ordinance signed—Bismarck in Court, ete. The General Manager's Views. The contract of building the Eleventh gtreet vinduct has been signed to the Morse Bridge Co., by the mayor and General Manager Callaway of the Union Pacifie, “The viaduct on Eleventh street is not worth that to the company,” Mr. Calla- way replied to the reporter’s question yesterday, snapping his Gngers. b signed it because I was sick of the quibbling and dallying over the matter, What service it will be to the publie, I can neither see. From the viaduct all travel to the depot must down a block along the tracks and furthermore the drivers will not use it, but continue, as they do now, to_whip across the Tenth street tracks. T had once planned and arranged with the committee which had the matter in hand, to build the viaduet down Tenth streot, the company rrecing to erect a depot immediately at its south- ern terminus. That seemed to be the understanding, but the re nts of that street rai a tumult against it, docd ing they would go to the supreme court, ete,; that the project stumped and latterly when the committee returned to submit a condition that the company ghould pay some thirty odd_thousand dollars damages in advance, 1 declined the whole transaction. The people of Tenth strect have been not only the ene- mies of public convenience in this affair, but have damaged themselves, as time will shortly develop.” “Will the railway company build a new depot convenient to the Sixteenth street viaduct ¥ asked the reporter. “I not now tell, as plans are demoralized by the departure affairs have taken. However, 1 belie it will be done in the course of time, but how long hence I cannot say. Beyond the ques: tion of scrvice to the company the new viaduct as ended wfil not change the conditions against which the schemo originally provided. It leaves Tenth street open and trayel for the south of town will cros e rails in defi- ance of danger, penalty and everything else. The Eleventh strect viaduet isa mistake in every light thrownupon it.” TRANS-CONTIN TALISTS. of the | 5 antal Association leave to-night vin the " tor New York to attend the meeting called there for Monday next.

THE MEN IN THE SHOPS. ce the publication in yesterday's Bee to the effect that all reports of wholesale dismissals in the Union Pacific shops were untrue, several men claiming to be machinists have called at thi: to state that they and large number others in the car and tin shops had been let out. App to headquarters and to Mr. Hackney, well as to numbers of the shopmen now working, meet_denials of th complaints in toto. No such dismissals have occurred. The shops are working under full capacity, and out “ of the 1,600 employes the discharges ot drunkards and incompetents, which i ever going on in all large factories, is very snmfi, and the loss is usi sup- plied with new hands. The officials of the company claim that there is too much work to be done to spare any num- ber of men. and Eustis CRUSHED TO A JELLY. An Employe of the Smelter Loses an Arm in the Rollers. Edward Kizlin, an employe of the smelting works, met with a horrible acci dent yesterday which cost him an arm and may possibly prove fatal. While working about the rollers his hand was eaught in the machinery, and before any- thing could be done to save him his arm was drawn between the rollers and horribly mangled, being crushed almos toa jelly. A companion who was work- ing with him made a desperate effort to save him, and managed to extricate him from Ius perilous position in time to save his life. Kizlin was immediately conve St. Joseph’s hospital, where Drs. Mercer, Ayers and Hertzmann amputated his arm at the elbow. He stood the opera- tion bravely, and although the shock to his sfi'phvm was terrible and 1 5 weak from loss of blood, hopes are entor- tained that he will recover. He wa made as comfortable as possible, and s midnight was reported resting Kizlin is 24 years of age and unmarried, ON THE MPAGE, A Colored Lady Who Was Bound to Have Revenge. “‘Heah’s a boy as [ ain’t got no use fur now,” said a colored woman who en- tered the central police station yesterday * afternoon leading a little white lad by the hand. *“‘He'’s most froze, poah little thing, and I'se sorry fur him, but dat don't make no differ'nce after what [ seed dis afternoon,” Being ealled on for the facts, Mrs.John Holmes, for was the lady’s name, snid that the boy belonged to the noto- rious Mrs. McNubb, whose record is not the most savory. The boy had come to last turday and she had would not ki him with her. “What I see dis afternoon, though, %kn me sick,” said the lady. “Some- body tole mé my man and Mrs. 1labb was in a room toged'r and I went out to see.

Aud the Gas Ordinance Becomes a Law-The Gas Company's Position, Ete, The gas ordinance, passed at the Tues- | day night session of the city council, was forwally sigued yesterday by MayorBoyd Following is the oxact text of the gas rdinance : Bo it ondained by the ity of Omal That ges nanulaetured eity council of nd knowa as l ater gas heretofore supplied and fur- nished through pipes ]nilr in the public strects of the city of Omaha shall be so supplied and furnished at not exceeding the following price, to-wit: For gas equal to_sixteen-candle power, per 1,000 feet, $1.75.

How? Because confract to supply gas to the a certain rate, and that las not expired by thiec years. Of course, the city claims a right to abrogate the contract on the grounds that the property and contracts of the old Omaha Gas conpany should have been turned over to the United Gas Improve- ment company, but that has mnot been done, beeause the legal authorization trom the city was never received.” Conversation with other gas officials disclosed the possibility that the company will in all propability contest the legality of the new ordinance in the courts BISMARCK IN COUR Legal Action Against William Alstade Before Judge Berka. William Alstadt, manager of the Tony Faust beer bottling company, was rested yestor by Matthins New, before Justice Berka, charged with the conversion to his own use of $776 he held asbailee. Alstadt was arraigned and re- leased on Julius Treitschke's bond of $1,000, to appear for trial this after- noon. New accuses Alstadt of spending their mutual funds to the amount above stated, while the detend- ant pleads that the mones were of partnership concern and his use of them is no ¢ The d Dy the nic other qus endant in this case is best known nume of “Bismarck”, or in rters of which he knows, apa.” He has been “flying high” of late, and may have sunk u tew dollars needlessly, but that he eriminally ap- ln'n]l ted any funds, no one who knows him is prepared to believe. 1f he gets into a straight over the matter, he might write to New Orleans, where he has in- vested certain amounts and valuable rticles, ond obtan restitution of the -y little man, *‘Bismarck” S sputation.

Burt County's Commissioners Want the Treasurer's Books Examined. The members of the board of commis- sioners of Burt county, this state, came to Omaha yesterday on busine: necied with the duties of their body. Early in the day they yisited the court nd going to the commissioners’ room asked to be directed to some expert in checking up the books of county treasurers. They were referred to Mr. J. J. Points, now engaged in similar duties by the Douglas county commis- sioners. That gentleman was visited, and an effort was made to secure his services to check up the books of Burt county. Mr. Points was, however, un- willing toleave the city, and the Burt county men are still in séarch of an ex- pert. It was learned by a reporter yesterd that the books of Burt county’s'treasu had not been properly checked up in 1d no'settlement iailion t time. A new treasurer was i in going through the books of the retiring official a defi- i was discovered of some $5,700. The matter was, however, kept quiet by the commissioners and secretly arranged. The ne surer, however, discovering a demanded an in- gation of the business, and hence the efforts of the commissioners to sccure an expert. The Ft-nllcmcn were in confel ence yesterda afternoon with Mr, I ) now recording in the county ice, but no definite arrange- ments were made with him last evening. Police Court Docket. Three vagrants, two drunks and one peace disturber formed the sum total of the business done by Police Judge Sten- berg yesterday morning. J. Demorest was fined $10 and costs for tighting, paying which he was released. John Se 1, an incorrigible vagrant, sent up to the county jail for thirty notwithstanding” he earnestly promised to leave town. William Wallan and John Burns, also charged with vagraney, were rele; L Henry Henk and R, Bean, two gran- k’u' who had come in from western chraska to paint the town, had landed in the central police station gloriously drunk. It was found that they had not a total of 50 cents between then, and so Judge Stenberg released them with instructions to leave town at once, Mrs. Barton's Dinner. One of the most enjoyable dinnor. par- ties of the season was given yesterday by Mprs. Guy C. Barton at the rooms of the Omaha club, Thirty-two invited guests sat down to the elegant table spread in the grill room of the club, where dinner was served in most excellent style. The hostess was seated at the heéad of the table, with Mrs. Woolworth at the foot. At Mrs. Barton’s right was Mrs. M. T Patrick, and following, in the order named, were seated the other guests: Mesdames Bennett, Morsman, Cleve- land, Callaway, Ramsey, Odell, Yost, Parrotte, McConnell, Nash, Hanscom, Miss Barrows, Mesdames Andrews,Short, Pritchett, Smith, Wakeley, Burdett, Ed- gar, Lininger, ‘Allen, it, Boyd, Cowin, Richardson, Patrick, Kountze, Millard, Barker, Cogswell, Looking for Glanders, Dr. J.

Commissioner Timme Replics Rabbi Benson’s Charges. Since the conl question is again brought before the public, it will probably be best to ventilate the same a little more. Bids to furnish a good grade of coal to the county were advertised, and the Omaha Coul, Coke and Lime company being the lo bidders, were awarded the con- This same grade of coal which is furnished to the poor is also used at the county poor farm, and the quality of coal which answers there and which other people buy for their own use at $1.50 per ton for their cashshould certainly be good y. And so much nd thirty-five tons have been en away in a single day. The county ¢an hardly afford” to furnish Rock Springs. In rogard to complaints about the conl every word Commissioner O0'Keefle said to the reporter of the BEE is true. Rev. Dr, B on was at the county commissioners’ office some time ago, and, among other questions, that about coal idered, and he promised to notify the commissioners when a case should come to his notice where a poor c‘uu!ily of coal was delivered, to enable the i s to compel the conl to furnish the stipulated qualit or cun contral Now instead of iving the commissioners such notice he advertises his grievances in a news- paper, chargimmg them by implicati if of nothing worse, ut least with ne of duty, Rev. Benson requested the com- missioners to attend to his personal orders for coal for his people forthwith. This was probubly not done as quickly as he wished, and he therefore felt a little nettled, but his orders were attended to as promptly s possible, and in the same way as those from other gentlemen and ladics or so- cieties that are known to the public as benevolent, and who are her too fre- quently taken in by deadheads. Per- sonal attention of commissioner O’Keefle and the suncrintndent of the poor farm to the poor of the city, have secured to the really needy ones help, and kept oft the the deadbeats from the purse of the Donglas county tax-payers through this system.

The cases considered were those of Frank Keene, charged with selling lottery tickets, John Whitmore, charged with selling liguor without a license at Florence, and that of William Miller who is accused of sedue- ing his sister. The fifteen-year-old girl Ida May Miiler, who accuses her brother of the horrible crime, was brought into the court room and told her story in a very straight-forward manner. = It is more than possible that an indictment will be brought in against the man. TRANSCRIPTS FILED. ‘Transeripts from the police court have been filed with the clerk of the distric court as follows: Donald Allen and John L.

They have not rec at gift of power and money in the spirit in which it was made, but ve entered our politics not zens of a common country but as giant corporations with all the corrupt- fng influence that surrounds great cap- ital concentrated in the hands of the few, and are controlling our state legislatures. The governmenf in marching armies, in waging war, in suppressing invasions, eannot exercise more power, und the states are powerless to n them. n take them into our courts t plea_which they enter is, we are a_corporation it is trie, but we desire to be treated as any other citizen They are filling onr state legislatures and con| with their tools.

Tt is believed that the railroad corpora- tions in this state have a net profit on their year's business of more than $25,- 000,000, while the farmers hav, not a penny to keep their heads above the extortionate wave that is bearing them under. They are working harder than any people on this globe. The ayerage day's work of the Nebraska farmer is not less than sixteen hours per pay. This is committing rapid self-mur- der.

A condition of public law that will_enable a citizen who | started outin life as the peddler of a mouse Ap to umase in less than fwenty-seven y a fortune of mc than $70, 000,000, will not long be en ' by a free ople. This great fortune never been earned. It has been stolen from the people by authority of public law, for l'h.-n re but three ‘ways of makin, money: by industr ft and by steal- ing. “This individual case serves to illus- trate many thousands more of a similar nature. This should indicate to every thoughtful mind that the tendeney of the present time is to make millionaires of the fow and panpers of the many. If the strong and restraining hand of government is not brought to bear upon our monopolics our country will be re- duced to a condition worse and more ling than that which curses Ireland to-day. As producers of the country's wealth we ask no protection from the government but we demand that other classes shall not be fostered, protected and made millionaires at our expense, while we are being pauperized. We have the power to enforce this demand which as a last resert will be done under the flag of our com- mon count We believe the whole railroad system is radical wrong. It was conecived in sin and is being brought forth in iniguity, and is this time a menace to civil liberty. The low growl of thunder is already to be heard in our great cities and all over our broad do- main the flame already runs along the clouds. We believe th t mission of our government is to sc at all classes have an equal chance in the great race of human life and not place governmental power in the hands of the few to erush out and ruin the many. We believe the whale railroad system of the country is honeycombed with fraud and deception and has wholly failed to afford the nation with cheap and reasonable facilities for carrying on the internal commerec of the count We believe it is the duty of the government to hond the nation to an amount suflicient to huy the roads and then operate them, This would be in- dustrial co-operation. This would be a new birth. Railroads would become the pride of the nation. Our whole people would enter upon a career of prosperity that would bring peace, joy and all th Blessings of a great free government that lives i <ofits people; to this deelaration we stand forever pledged.
