REPORTS OF COMMITTE A large number of reports were.made by committees, among which were the following: To authorize the police com- mission to order twenty-eight telephones for the use of the signal boxes; to make %hu‘wuium of brezd sixteen ounces to the oaf. THE CHIEF OF POLICE DISC The report of the committee on police, recommending that the ofticial bond of W. F. Soavey as chiet of police be ap- proved, was presented. A motion was made that it be adopted. a o Mr, Hascall opposed tie motion. asserted that the police commissioners hal been *‘too previous.” They had no authority, in his opinion, to act until rules and regulations should be adopted regarding the department under their direction. He quoted passages from the charter, which he claimed supported nis position. Mr. Alexander fayored the motion. He stated that when the charter bill was signed by the governor it became oper- ative law, 0 one would question Gov- ernor Thayer’s power to appoint the com- missioners, Nor could anyone question the right of the commission to go ahead and do their duty as the charter prescribes it for them. He read from the charter the section relating to the powers and duties of the board. He said he heard no objection to the appointment of the chief of the fire department. That was all right. He had it fromfmembers of the council that had another appointment had been made for chief of wolice, this opposition would never have arisen, and the appointment would have been winked at, This was purely a personal matter. He waived the floor for the pur- pose of obtaining the opinion ot the city attorney. Before the city attorney had opportu- nity to present his opinion, however, Mr, Hascall again had the floor. He claimed that when the qualitications of personsto be appointed had been designated by ordinsnce, then and not till tnen could the board exercise 1ts powers. He read from the charter what he deemed sup- ported his position. He asserted that the board ought to act in unison with the dukar!menu of the city government. ‘When regulations for their department had been established by ordinance then they might go ahead; until then they had no rightto act. y Mr. Burnham supported the action of the board in a logieal argument. He con- tended that the sections of the charter upon which the commissioners had acted was mandatory. That which the oppon- ents of their action quoted as premises was entirely advisory. The part which had been read by Mr. Alexander, in sup- port of the action by the commission read in every instance: “The board shall,” etc. That which was quoted by Mr. Has- call was attached to & *‘may.” Because the governer would not be controlled by certain influences of the appointment of this commission and because, later, the commission wounld not be controlled by the same, this opnosition had been in- cited and members of the council had be- come parties thereto. The governor had appointed gentlemen as commissioners against whom thare was no_ breath of criticisia. They had proceeded, under competent legal advice, in the discharge of their duties. They had submitted a set of rules and regulations (for adoption by the council that they raight have the effect of ordinances), which had been compiled from the regulations deemed most useful from experience in the cities of the cast and west. They ought to be supported by the council instead of being opposed. Mr. Hascall again obtained the floor and, after a few remarks, presented two ordinances which pertained to the sub- ject under discussion and asked that the rules be suspended that they might be introduced. Upon motion by Mr. Lee the rules were suspeaded, four council- men voting yes, one no, and twelve re- muining silent, The ordinances were then introduced. The one relating to the police department provides substan- tially as follows: Thore shall be a chief, two captains, four sergeants and sixty policemen. To receive an appointment for any of these oftices the requisites are: T'wo years' residence 1n the city; legal electoral rights; under fifty years of age; five feet seven inches lli‘lh; lobnog, courtesy, specitied knowledge of the English lan- spoken and written, and good Phys and moral characteristics. The chief of police shall give a bend for $11.000; ench of the captains and ser- geants a bond for $1,000. e captains shull receive mo‘rr month each; the sergeants $90, and policemen $75 for tho first six months of service and $80 af- terward. The board cf fire and police ION. AT . Y, A W THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY. JUNE 1. 1887 shall be ontitled to a eclerk at $75 per month, The other ordinance makes it neces. gary that each member of the police and fire bourd shall give #1,000 bonds. It will be noticed that the two vears residence is chietly uimed at Chief Sea- vey, and that thn{rnnd of chiéf of police is put at 11,000, a somewhat peculiar amount, but explainable when it is re- membered that he has already given a bond for $10,000, These ordinances were read a first and a second time, and, upon motion of Mr. Lee, referred to the committee on judici- ary, despite the fact that- Mr. Lee is o member of that committee, being asso- ciated with Mr. Hascall and Mr. Burhaw. The committe stands two to one on the ordinance, The appointment of St. A.D. Balcomb as three yeurs member of the "board of public works was confirmed, 18 to b; of C. E. Mayne as a two year member, 17 to 1; and of Lou {emrod, for ene year, 16 to 2. The official Bond of William Farras, meat inspector, was approved. SKINNING IT BACK. Messis. Lowry and Snyder, the major- ity of the committee on gas and electric light, presented a report in which they desired to recall the report of a week ago in favor of the Nebraska and Kansas gas and heating company ordinance and offered a substitute ordinance, which fayors the company named just as much' but dis- criminates against the present company more. It was referred, ‘Lhe council was still listenin; reports of committees and had ot ar- rived at the really scrious part of the evening's business when the clock point- ed to 11:30 p. Adjournment was taken until to-niget at 8 o’clock. Pl THE DAY WE PLAYED BASE BALL Scribes and Pharisaical] Advertising Agents Oross Bats, The Omaha base ball grounds were the scene of » most exciting contest yester- day afternoon. Nine stony-hearted solic: itors of advertissments and money changers from the counting rooms of the newspapers in the city beguiled nimo cul- tivated, polished gentlemen who wield the Faber saber and evolve brilliant and amusing ideas from their observations, into meeting on the diamond yesterday and then waxed the tar out of them, The score was 25 to 11 when the bloody fray was concluded The umpire was dead, but that was an expected ineident. The game was particularly noticeable for the frequency and reddiness with which the members of the journalistic nine changed positions. During the progress of the contest only well water was farmshed to the players. This was a preconcerted arrangement with the chief of police. n the return to the city, however, the party stopped at the Columbia brewerv of Storz & ller, and there several professional games were played. A palatable lunch and re- freshing refreshments were tendered the ball-scarred veterans and duly appre- ciated. Another game is on the bills for a week hence,when Tanner will have secured a new pair of pants, Hunter brings the missing bat back, and Manning trains down to 250 to the The Painters. A meeting of committees from the master painters and the painters union was held at the former's hall, on Six- teenth strect, last evening, when a full and final settlement ot the differences heretofore existing between them was made on the basis of $2.75 for nine hours. The non-union painters are desired to call a meeting for the purposc of conferr- ing with a committee of the Painters union, with a view to establishing a work- ng card and other matters of import- ance. General O'Neil. A movement is on foot in this city to raise funds for the purpose of erecting a monument over the grave of General John O'Neil. His remains rest in the Holy Sepulcher cemetery, and it seems that Irishmen in this city should have some regard for the memorv of the only man who shed blood for their cause dur- ing the excitement of the last twenty years. O,Niel was not a paper warrior whose bravery was at great heat on the eve ot election. Somebody is Mistaken. During the council mecting last even- ing Mr. C. E. Squires, of the Asphalt company, made a few remarks in which he said that he wanted the council to de- cide what authority the board of public works and what authority the city engi- neer had on paving contracts.” There had been a conflict of authority which had caused stoppage of work. kngineer Tillson and Mr. House both thereupon stated that there had been no conflict be- tween them.

Mrs, Langtry's’ ‘Appearance Last . Night @t ;flm Boyd. Mrs, Langtry’s appearance at the Boyd, last eveuingy was made in “A Wife's Peril.” The heroine, Lady Ormond, in no séngetresembles Galates, the character iw(which Mrs., Langtry made her initial Wppearance in this city. There is but ong gt in the piece, in which the audiendé has an opportunity to judge of the histrionie powers of the star, That is the third act, when the idiotic “friendship' of a tender, sus- ceptible yot faithful wife has been mis- understood by thefréfend of her husband, to that degree that hé feels at length en- ed to make an avowal of his wicked passion. The danger of her position be- comes apparent and with the determina- tion of & weak yet loving and lovable woman, Lady = Ormond spurns the advances of her admurer, denounces his perfidy and is happily saved from further insult by the supposed arrival of her husband. In"this scene Mrs. Langtry threw off the restraint under which she had thus far labored. Her repulses of the advances of her deceitful friend were womanly and forcible, and not the least appreciated because they savored more of natural indignation than they did of melo-dramatic force. For this work the lady was rewarded with a double recall. In the earlier acts theaudience saw little of the heroine. When it saw her at all she appeared the innocent, yet fascinated victim ot the garish hypocrite whom she later saw unmasked. ln the last act, her simulation of intense angush lest her in- discretion should be discovered by her husband, was acceptably done, though, at times, she betrayed a lack of sustained l:owa,r which detracted from her work. Mrs, Langtry's power lies in her eyes. Her physicial churms do not entrance upon the stage. But with her eyes she can move even an anchorite. Mrs. Langtry's toilets were universally admired, though they failed to inspire the rapture which previous announce- ments, couvled with the name of Worth, had predicted. The most beautiful of these was a hight green brocade velvet en train, with side panels, lengthened to meet the train, of gold encrusted em- broidery, resung on pleated malines of lace flounces woven with threadsof eold. It was in this Mrs, Langtry appeared to greatest advantage:” The audience was so large that not a vacant chair was to be had in the house. POLIC 8. Mre.

The demand for Mrs, Cleveland’s pho- tograph is as active as it was at the time that lady first entered the white house as its mustress. The photographer who per- suaded her to give hyu ttings for twen- ty-five negatives last mmer has sold over fifty thousand, and is still printing them at the rate of 200 per day. He thinks that when the full §6hr of sales is up 100,000 of the pictures will be sold. The net profit for the first eight months after the negatives were taken was $7,000—al- most as much as the president received for a year's service asjgovernor of New York. What portion of'this goes to Mrs. Cleveland, if any, the photographer omits to mention, but a man shrewd enough to secure the sitlings would not be apt to overlook the matter of caring for most of the prolfits himself, ————r— Proposed Fusion in/West Virginia.

Murdered His Grand Children, RrADING, Pa., May 31.—William Showers, a clgar maker, was arrested at Annvidh, Lebanon county, at midnight, chargea with murdering his two grand children, William and Samuel, aged respectively three and five years, Two weeks ago Showers drove to the mountains with the children in his wagon and returned without them. Nothing has been heard of them since, and as Showers toid many conflicting stories regarding their al sence, the district attorney last-night or- dered his arrest and he was lodeged in jail. LATER—The search resulted in the findin of the bodies of the childrrn in Showers’ yard. They were nude except night shirts, showing that they had been taken from bed and murdered in‘cold blood. They had been strangled with ropes, which were fonnd around their necks, and their skull crushed with a club. Showers was engaged to marry “lizabeth Sarge, but her one condition was that the children should first be got rid of by placing them in charge of some other person. Showers has confossed the crime, and threats of lynching are freely made. pbitnn " ety Important Railroad Meeting.
