Marshal Guanella yesterday found a little boy sleeping on “the sidewalk, ap- g;mmtly a stray lamb, who had cried imselt to sleep. He took the little fel- low to the station and kept him there for several hours before the parents could be found. The little fellow proved to be a son of Mr. Gillinski, of Broadway. Alderman Lacy says that Sioux City has a good many places where liquors are sold, even 1if there are no open saloons. On his recent visit there he was informed that were fifty saloons running, a8 shown by the number of government licenses issued, and it seems that it one knows the 1ns and outa he can get all he wants to drink, and more than he ought to drink. The saloon injunction cases are to be ealled up befor Judge Carson this morn- ing at 10 o’clock. Itis understood that those prosecuting the cases will produce some new affidavits and new witnesses against the defendants. 1t has been gen- erally supposed that the prosecution de- ended entirely upon the evidence of the 'wo men now jailed in Omaha, but the re- ort is that such is not the case. An in- eresting session is expected. . Arrangements are belnglmmle by which the opening day of the Manawa motor line and the new hotel will be a gala one, Excursions are to be run in here from all parts of the surrounding country and a general good time had, the doings to be under the charge of the Congregational church of this city, who hope to reap a snug benelit from the day, as well as aflord many Kecx.fla. lyounz and old, a bappy day.

A Decision that the Broadway Bridge Must Provide For Railways A NEW SALOON SCHEME, Liquors to Be lmported in Small Quantities Under Federal Licenaes —The Knights' Investigation—The Coming Concert—Personals. A Combined Bridge Ordered. At quite regular intervals of about a week apart there come days during which all sorts of rumors are flying through the air in regard to the proposed bridge ucross the river. ‘The people are deeply interested in this enterprise, and they grasp eagerly at every item concern- ing it. A rumor is as readily taken uything of n more substantial nature. a3 been much discussion concern- mtest between the Milwaukee ul and the Omaha & Council Bluffs Bridge company. While both cities have been anxious for eloser and better communications, Omaha scems to ha t its heurt upon sceuring better acilities, while Council Biufls is anxious above all other things to secure a wagon bridge, one that will uch in fact as well as 10 nam The tion mu 2 ago by seems to to be rea by the construction of a combined brid, giving both wagon and railway facilities. It is now announced that cretury Endicott decided about & week ago that the local company who had already filed their plans for a wagon bridge, S build a bridge which would allow ot rail- way trains crossing in order to confirm the charter as construed by the attorney was asked by the s decision settles one fa hever com- any builds the bridge, it must be a com- ination bridge, haying both r: lw:\g and wagon facilities. This decision being reached, the wagon bridge company se- cured permission to amend the plans al- ready filed snd new plans were drawn 80 changing the others as to provide for the railway features and thus complying with their charter as interpreted by this decision of the authorities. "This settles a very important feature of the enterprise, and leaves only the ques- tion as to which company shall build the bridge. The local company scems ver, confident that it will be given the Broad- way site. Itis the only site it can oc- cupy under its charter, while the Mil- waukee & St. Paul can choose any other site between the north and south bounda- ries of the two counties. The local com- Funy is very certain that it will huve the ocation granted 1t, for numerous rea- sons, chief among which is that it is the first to file plans which meet with the approval of the sccretury of war, Itis understood that the pians of the Milwau- kee & St. Paul are not at all In accord- ance with the requirements of the de- purtments, and that they have got to prepare entircly new plans. In the meantime the local company’s plans, as amended, are ready for the approval of the secretary of war. Such 18 the sub- stance of the talk and the information to be gleaned from the local company. “this now phaso which the situntion has assumed strengthens the opinion which may have held that the bridge will be built, and will be acombination, with the local company using the wagon and street car part and the Milwaukee & St. Paul using the railway facilities, In Council Bluffs the question naturally arises whether the company can secure the tux voted by the people if a combined bridge is built.” It seems that it cannot, but some who have watched closely the actions taken and who are conversant with the peculiar phraseology of the vari- ous ordinances and resolutions, are cer- tuin about this. Some predict that time will disclose that the company can secure the tax even with the combined bri\lie. The chief fear of the people seems to be thut a combined bridge will not be prac- ticable and will not meet the demand for a wagon bridge over which easy and safe transit can be made with teams, Many point to the Union Pacitic bridge now nearing completionand say: *“There’s & combined bridge, and yet what use is 1t ever going to be for driving horses over. 1t isn't safe for teams, for the trains pass right alongside the wagon way, with nothing but open work between, and a siunple hand rail on the other side.” The assurance 18 given both by the railway company and the local company that if either of them build a combined bridge it shall be as practicable as a sevarate wagon bridge. The wagou way is to be enclosed, and so separated as to render it impossible for any railway train to interfere with travel by team. The new plans of the local company provide for the wagon way to be enclosed, and further than this, to be separated from the railway part by another way, which is to be used by street cars or motor line. Under this arrangement it is claimed that there will be no necessity for having the wagon way above or under the rail- WAy, but they can be on the same g;nne, and yet entirelv separated. anxious are some to se- cure a wagon bridge that they openly de- clare that if they really geta wagon bridge then they will not care so much whether there is a railway attachment to it or not, but if any railway arrangement is to interfere with wagon communica- tions they will protest first, last and all thr time. The loc: eomg y has known from the start that its charter made 1t optional whether a wnfio bridge or a combined bridge was built. The company sup- posed, however, that the option was with them. The government decides, how- ever, that Uncle Sam has the option, and having it, be decides in favor of a combi- nauon. ————— The City Council. The city council met last night in ad- journed session. Petition for extension of water main up Harmony and Benton streets. Re- ferred. Petition for grading of Benton street. Referred. In the contract for new hose for the fire department the mayor was instructed to sign the same, the date having been ghunxed to June 14 instead of December 'An ordinance granting the Electric Light and Power company of Council Bluffs the privilege of using the strects, alleys, etc., was read a first time, but had to lay over under the rules, there not being the necessary three-fourths of the council present to suspend the rules, ‘The fire committee reported favorable upon the A)roponil.ion of the Sun Vapor, ht and Stove comyany w lght the streets of Council Blufis. The report was adopted. The proposition 18 to fur- nish the tirst 100 lamps $15.36 each, the second 100 lamps at $14.28 each, the third 100 lamps at gns.m each, the fourth 100 lamps at $12.60 each, per year. The committee was instructed to make a con- tract with the company immediately. A contract for a turn-table hook ana ladder truck was read and accepted. The price of the truck is $37.00. 3 “ l::ufion of the L‘ou‘nell "gllfifih t(:lll:r company, proposing ig! 0 m‘ty ona lhm’ycu‘l contract for §28.50 ¢ year per lamp post, George T. right stated that the company would like to meet the committee and talk the matter over; the company might make a still ater reduction; that they had been Ifhunf the city without any contravt and that no one had come to them to make a Dew ovntract; the company had lighted the streets whei they did not know when they would re- ceive their pay; made good gas; it isup to the standard; we make it according to the old process and it costs more than the new process; we want {o renew our ehar- ter; we will then get in the new process and make gas at a cheaper rate; no_gas company can _compete \-n? coal oil or gasoline; we don't want to be driven ont; we want to put in new machinery, ete for twelve years no interest was taken out;it was all put intoimprovements; this company has never paid over 7 per cent; our charter expires in two years; we'd like to see if we n et a renewal of our cherter and remain here, " On motion of Mr. Hammer the propo- sition was refers An ordinance was then read granting the Council Blufls gas light company 8 renewal of its charter, It was Laid over under the rules for the same reason that the others were.

The charges made by the Knights of Labor against William Hutchinson, fore- man of the Chicago & Northwestern roundhouse were od in yesterday's Bee. They were, in effect, that two men, Strausser and Campbell, had been dis- charged for the sole reason that they were members of the order, and that Hutchinsog has issued orders that.no Knights of Labor shall be employed. Master Mechanic Quayle, of Clinton, of the Chicago & Northwestern; State Master Workman Wheat of Colfax, of the Knighte of Labor, two of the repres- entatives of loc: ssembly 1668, Knights of Labor, and a representative of the BEg arrived at the oflice of Foreman William Hutchinson at the Northwestern shops shortly after 10'clock yesterday after- noon. As the knights were not aware that the investigation had been set for 5 ay until they read 1t in the Bre men who made the charges st Hutchinson were not present, Str was sent to Omaha for Lawson and Campbelf appeared about3 o'clock. While waiting for Strasser and Lawson the party spent the time in talking over the subject of stigation, besides other things. The knights were greatly surprised to learn that Strasser had been arrested for being drunk, as appears on the records of Jus- tice Schurz’ court, and that he had been fined. Hutchinson had stated that Strasser had been acrested, but Strasser denied it to the knights, and even sent them to the police records, where they were unable to find atrace of his arrest. Tlis, of course, satisfied the knights that Hutchinson was trying to shicld him- selt, when, in !):m, Strasser sent them to the wrong court to hunt up his record. Mr. Wheat then declared himself. He snid if this were true and he had no reason for doubting Mr. Quayle, who had seen the records then Strasser should be fired out of the organization; “not for being drunk, but for misrepresenting,” he concluded. The investigation was conducted pri- vat as neither side cared to have any publicity. The result reached was, how- ever, that the charges were not true, that the men were not discharged be- cause they were Kaights of Labor, and no discrimination was being shown against the Knights. The decision is . complete vindication of Mr. Hutchinson. As to the side charges made about Hutchinson using the company’s material for his own pur- poses, of course, that was a matter be- tween bim and the company, and some- thing which the knignts had nothing to do with. It was dragged in evidently by those desiring to injure Mr. Hutchinson, and as a matter of revenge because he saw fit to discharge two of his men. There is found to be nothing to this charge, either, and thus Mr. Hutchinson comes out of the controyersy with no smell of fire upon his clothing. What action will be taken 1 regard to those who started all this hullabaloo abont nothing, remains to be seen, State Master Workman Wheat has con- ducted himself in this matter in a very calm, sensible and impartial manner, and has won friends by his manliness and frankness. He expresses himself as pleased with the treatment he received at the hands of Mr. Quayle, and the evi- dent disposition of the company to use the Knights fairly. mespalls tE Parties n Omaha desiring to secure seats for the concert in Samt Paul's church Thursday evening can do so by addressing the Rev.

Quite a sensation was caused on vine street by a well known citizen running down the street to the police station fol- lowed by a woman who has had some un- pleasant notoriety before. She called to him to stop, but he continued uantil he reached the police station, all out of breath. He requested an oflicer,to ac- company him to his home up the street and protect him from the wrathy woman whom he was considerably afraid of. The ofticer went, notwithstand- ing the woman requested him to remain at the station. On arriving at the house the man tore the carpet oft the tloor of his room and pack- ing his trunk sent his things away on an | express wagon. The cause of all the ex- citement seemed to be that the woman, becoming dissatistied with her present lot in hife, had destroyed several pieces of the furniture and threatened the life of the man. Upon seeing he was really going to leave she began to beg him to remain, but without effect. After he had left the police quietly returned to the station. —_— Oma Nighr, Boy Choir Concert at Saint Paul's church, The All Saints’ Boy Choir, Mr. Nat. M.
