A HEN ON IN THE UNION PACIFIC, A Quict But Suggestive Movement by Leading Directors—An Interesting Bulit to Commercial Travelers —State Capital Notes, FROM THE DEE'S LINCOLN BUREAUL. The Law and Order league has been put to many uses since its formation last fall, by people who have no connection, oven of the most remote nature, with it The power of the organization in prose- cuting minor offenders is well known, and as a consequenee there are many un- serupulous persons who, in order to en- force the prescribed classes into certs lines of action, do not hesitate to use their fear of the league as a club, threat: ening openly in some instances to set the officers after them unless specified de- mands are complied with, The latest ef- fort of this kind is that of a young law- yer, who sees in it a better and surer method of collecting bad debts than by the old warrant course. This lawyer’s name is Jonnson, and nhis shingle, an- nouncing “collections a specialty,” hangs on the door of room 25, in the Richards Dlock. Some weeks ago Mrs. Smith, a dressmaker, handed to Johnson for col- lection a bill against a young sporting woman, who had digputed the account Johnson made two or three demuands for the money, and finally sent the following note to her by @ messen, “Miss May: Pay the bea and $5 cach suceeeding week until_your billis paidin full. Do this or [ will put the Law and Order league after you at once. L will be'put oft no long: B JOHNSON."" The young woman was plucky and bounced the collector, warning him that if he eame around again she would hand him over to the poli Yesterday the matter was called to the attention of the Law and Order people, who vigorously denounced Johnson's unauthori effort to use the organ o as an agency for extorting payment of old de WHAT Jis [ NY “Do you know," said a gentleman well up in railway matters, to the sentative yesterday, “that the hen on the Union Paci Bre man allowed that he didn't, and the peeper into the railway hatchery contin- ued: “Well, there's something oing on, sure. The Union Pacific people hay good railroad and telegraph line of th own from Valley into Omaha, haven't they? Well, what does the Omana & Rq publican Valley railway company, whi 15 o branch of the Union Pacific, want to over the same ground for? Messrs. Adams, Atkins, Ames and Dexter got together in Boston recently, and as di- rectors of the Omaha & Republican Valley road, amended the articles of in- corporation 50 as to give them the right to build and ops a railroad and line of telograph from the pomt of junction of that road with tie Union Pacific near Valley station, eastward through the counties of Douglas and Sarpy into tho city of Omaha. The right to build to any point in said city, and to all villages and towns adjoining, as well as to oper: such spurs, branches and the directors may deem advi: stipulated, Now what doe: course as long as the present managers of the Union Pucific retain control of the road they ean get along without two Tines of railway and telegraph running into Omaha. iiul the main line is heav- ily in debt, and the time may come when the ereditors will foreclose.” If, in such 1 event, the property should pass into other hands, it would be ver: the stockholders who own the se of the branch roads to have an entr: of their own into Omaha, The Omaha & Republican Valley branch is now well conncected with the Kansas system, by vuy of Maryville, and is no mean prop- T only give you these hints as my own, and of Wit you think thev are worth.” A little later, when the BEE man reached the state house, Captain Winte steen, the deputy secretary of sf handed out a copy of the amended cles of incorporation of the Omaha & Re- publican Valley road, in which the inten- tion to build and operate the tioned railway and telegraph lines from Valley to Omaha is stated. There is nothing in the paper beyond this, but what there is st the scribe to thinking that his informant had been guess pretty close to the truth. THE DRUMMER IN COURT, A law snit involving many points of vital interest to commercial travelers has been commenced in the district court for Lancaster county. In October last Messrs. Cloutman & Bingham, boot and Bhoe dealers at Boston, employed Alonzo P. Chapman to sell their goods in Ne: braska, Kansas and Dakota. A contract, to run one year, was signed, giving Chapman exclusive control of the terri- tory named, and guarantecing him a commission ot 5 per cent on all sales, two-thirds to be paid in cash on his sight drafts, Chapman now comes into court alleges that on the 17th of February m fendants dischargod him and broke the contract by putting o man in the territory. Chap- man claims that he was averaging $10 per) day in commissions, and says that by the negleet of the defendants to forward him money as agreed he was compelled to lose thirty-five days’ time, for which he asks judgment of $350, During the life of the eontract Chapman sold goods to the amount of $19,455, on which his commissions were $072 75, Of pived but $300, leaving a balance due of $172. Pluintiff also claims 5 per cent on made by the man put in_his ter which would give him $750 more. The' total amount alleged to be due, including interest, ote., is $1,772.75. Chapman is well Lincoln, having made this city his head- quarters, and has many frionds who ikt 1o has been shabbily treated. BRIEF M 'MTON.

He Extensively Reviews City Matters and Improvements During the Past Year, The following is the fult text of the Mayor's message delivered to the council: Gentlemen of the Uity Councll—In accord- ance with an established custom, 1 take this oceasion to eommunicate with your honor- able body and present you with reports from the several departments, giving an_account in detail of their operations for the ‘\ml year. During the years 1553 and 1554, the elause in our charter prohibiting the mayor and ¢ council from ineurring any liability in cess of the amount authorizéd by law was re peatedly violated, and an_indebtedness was created for which $100,000 in bonds were issued, The amount ($103,562.50) realized from the sale of these proyed insufficient to pay said indebtedness, and the sum of 825,000 was taken from the general fund to liquldate the remainder. For th son but little grading and other. work, the payment of ‘which has to be made from the general fund, ‘was done the 3 There is alwaysa disposition on the part of the eouncil to contract for and do more work than there are funds to pay for the same, and to this Lespecially desire to eall your atten- tion. On the 19th and Mth Ut during the absence of the mayor, special mectings of the council were ealied, aots for paving were entered into and approved for about $15,000 in excess of the amonnt of 850,000 of bonds voted for su poses. Indeed,under the present assessed valuation of the city but $28,000 of the £50,000 paving bonds voted can at present, be issued. Our total bonded indebtedness is but S¢ 050, which is very small for a city the size of this. - On July 1st next this will ‘be_reduced by the payment of S100.000 school district bonds. Funds are now in’ the hands of the board of education for this purpose. Five per cent city bonds wili sell for 5 or 4 per cent preminm, and we cerlainly have just cause to feel satistied with our financial standing, Five hundred and twenty thou- sand dollars ot our indebtedness has b spent for paving and sewerage insteadof’ boin as i 1831, ted as the muddiest city in the Misse 1 v the best paved city of 70,000 in- s in the United States. So public works have been done economically and well, and there has been but little fraud or peculation. There are three different de- {: tments to which all work is subjected be- ore payment is made: The board of publie works, the city council, and_the mayo although it is almost impossible aving 0 the inspection of all these, that any should occur, or that the city should be uded in any manner, still it behooves the council to be on the alert to prevent the wily schemes of the designing in their raids upon the public treasury. ery citizon is interested i ing an honest and economi- cal admin| ion of the city government, and we can congratulate ourselves that we have until the proserivien ped the baneful influence of rings usual to ¢ STREET COMMISSIONT: : Under the dircction of the street commis- sionersince April 1st, 1885, over $14,000 has been_expended 000" of this amount d out for repair on strects. Wahile th um inay seem 1. it does not eed the amount annually expended b fore our streets were paved, when our city s not hal present I would ad- e, however, that the disbursements for this‘purpose be kept at the lowest possible limit, as the work done is mostly of a tem- porary character. POLICE FORCE. At this time I will only speak in a general way of the police force of the city, It is comvosed ng but thirty men, whicli number is certainly in: tion of our eiti and, dequate for thie proper protec- T would advise that it charter, limiting the mainte A lice department to 3'¢ mills on the dollar. will permif ®The duties of policemen are peculiar, and but few men are, in all respects, fitted for the position.

From what I learn, I judge the same high standard for whieh'they have long been noted has been fully maintained. Ac- cording to the treasurer’s report, the total amount of money spent in this department, the past sixtéen months, has been 8242 0. "Of this amount §20.000 was paid for interest and $45.000 expended for buildings, school house sites, curbing, guttering an paving. The pay Toll for teachers’ salaries alone exceeds the sum of £100,000 per annum, Although our school buildings are very com- modious and superior in style and character, they are not_adequate to our present wants, On'the 1st of July next $100,000 of school bonds will be paid, thus reducing the expenso for interest, 10,000 per annun. FIRE . DEPARTMENT. y has just reason to feel proud of its five department. It is composed of men who thoroughly understand their calling, re: ly at all times to respond to the tap of the bell, For information in regard to the number of fire and losses during the past year, Irefer you to the report of the chief, which is here- ith submitted. There is one statement in that report to which I especlally desire to call the attention of all our citizens, and that is that during the past year the sum of $202,- 973,86 was paid in premiums to fire insw ance companies. This shows conclusively, to my mind, that most of the property is in- sured for too great an amount. SEWERAGE. The health of the city depends in a great measure upon its suj le of water and Its system of sewerage. 1t is gratifying to know that our city is free from the odious gasesand odors that in most other cities are emitted from sewers at every corner of their streel According to the u‘gnrt of the sewer i spector there wps but $2,234,00 expended for. sainjies and i rfimpm* our syslonln In good working condition, This is certainly a very small sum. There can be no doubt that_ thie Waring system of sewerage is, for sanitary purposes, the best ever devised, 1t i3 not in- tended for storm water or waste water from elovators, and in the business portion of the city other means will have to be provided for the overflow from the latter, One hundred thousand dollars in bonds have been vot for sewerage purposes, and I would advise that the Waring system be extended as fast as possibie. Aside from its being the health- iest, it 15 the cheapest system extant, WATERWORKS COMPAN: I wonld adyise that special legislation and consultation be had with the waterworks com- pany in rezard to the supply of water for that part of our city in the vicinity of Hans- com park, as well as other extreme sections, The difiiculty is not due so much to eleva- tion as to distance from the distributing point and the insuflicient size of pipe. This diminishes the velocity. I think, eventually, in order to ebtain pressure for fire sel in those portions of the (‘ili‘ referred to, an puxillary systom of ‘stand pipes must ' bo erected “on ‘the hills, Fire hydrants have already been loeated 'in portions of the city where, owing to distance, elevation, and smalluess of pl']n', they are of but little use for firg protection, 1" wounld suggest that hereatter before any ‘hydrants” are lo- cated the committe on fire consult with the city engineer and the chiet of the tire depart- ment, in order that they may be placed prop- erlyand at points wheré they will be of least expense to the city. BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. The board of public works havethe gen- eral superintendence of* all contract work, the care of s and the supervision of all other ‘done by the city, To rgely indebted for the good and snbstantial character of our public im- provements and for the faithful manner in which all work has been executed. A suggestion made in their report, “That an inspector be appointed to inspeet all ma- terial before it goes on the streets,” is a good one. Asalso, “That a machine be purchased for the purpose of testing all cement used.” CITY ENGINEER. The report of the city engineer is very vol- uminous and gives in detail an account of all contract work that comes under the jurisdic tlon of the engineering department. Ac- cording to this report it will be seen that our city has about nine and one-half miles of s, one and three-quarter miles of paved alleys and twenty-two liles of sewer- age, “I'he pavements already contracted for the year 1856 will dost, inclusive of intersections, about $550.000, As soon as possible, after the noxt lovy is minde, if the assessed valuation of the eity will perwit, the council should provide for submitling to the voters of the city a proposition to votd an addikional $50,- in bonds for paving purposes, and to pay )00 excess already mentioned. Contracts have beer 16t for an iron viaduet “leventh streeti, over the Union Pacific and B. & M _railroad tracks, which will cos about £5,000, The council has authorized the construction of a_viaduct, to be built of wood, on Sixteenth street over said railroad tracks, which is designed to cost about ?“‘. and this viaduet is now being advertised or, Under the chafter, provisions must be made in preparing the next levy fora general assessment for the viaduet Tund covering one-fifth of the cost and damages of each _of these viaducts, This will require about $35,- 000, There will be expended during the year 1835 §950,000 for grading, paving, sewers, curbs and viaduets. . OF this amount, the city will be required to pay about one-third, The manner in which the condemnation of property for public use has been acted upon by the preceding councils, has, according to my Judgment, boen Irtezular aud illeaal, Aiter appraisers have been appointed have made their report to the council, an or- dinance should be passed authorizing and in- structing the city treasurer fo tender erty owners the amount of This ordinance should also contajn a § declarinz_such_property vacated_and ded- icated to the public use, to take effect. when tie above conditions were complied with, T'he past year has been one of great pros: perity, and the prospect of contintons or still furthier advancement is most flattering. While Iam in favor of liberal expenditures for public improvements, and opposed to any narrow-tinded poliey 'in_this respect, the people’s money should 1ot be spent unless necessary for fhe public good, to the end that taxation be as little burdensome as possible, The affairs of the city should be managed in the same careful and “economical manner in which prudent men conduet their own' busi- ness, In conelusion 1 de you will find me ready at all times to co-oper- ate with you in all méasures for the good of the eit wlif any difference of opinion should arise on my part [ will always discuss the issues in aspirit of fairness free from bias of any kind; and my action shall al- ways be guided by the consideration of the mvi; interest of our rapidly growing metro- polis. ‘I'his morning after the above was printed I received acony of the annual report of the city attorney” but too late to make any note of it except to say that I consider it a very satisfactory and fayorable showing, Very respecttuly; J 2.

The order of a justice of the peace, or a county judge, in the exercise of the same powers and jurisdiction, in setting aside a jndgment rendered in the absenco of adefendant, when made under the provisions of scction 1,001, of the ciyil code, should be made’ conditionally only, m the first instance, and cannot be finally made unless the conditions of the section are complied with by the party secking to open the judgment. If notice is not given to the plaintiff as required, the application shonld be overruled and the original judgment be allowed to stand. The giving of the notice is juris- dictional, 2. An application to set aside & judg- ment, under the provisions of section 1001 of the civil code, is a recognition of the regularity of the judgment and a waiver of any objection that the judg- ment was prematurely rendered. 8. Where a judgmentof a justice of the peace, or county judge, is taken on error to the district ‘court and reversed, and the original case retained for trial in that court, such judgment of reversal is a final judgment, and may be reviewed by the supreme court, without waiting for the final disposition of the original caso in the district court.
