5 R THE “SOLIDTWELVE" REJOICE Ohief of Police Beavy Resigns and John Mo- Donald Succeeds Him. ANOTHER CHAPTER ON SCHOOLS Killed by the Cars—The Board of Pub- lle Works—A New Catholic Church—Other Local Matters, ' A Uhange of Chiefa, The difierences that have existed be- tween a majority of the council and the board of commissioners of fire and police were amicably settled ye: noon by the retirement of ( Seayey from his position as chief of the Omaha police force. 'The commissioners were in session for severul hours yester- day afternoon considering the resigna- tion of Cmefof Police Seavey, 'This resignation was received on Wednesday an_ was as follows: OyAHA, Neb., June 15, 1887—"T'0 the Board of Kire and Police Com oners: 1 have the honor to resign my position as chiet ot Omaha. I am, gentl very respecttully, your obedient servant, SEAVEY, hief of Police. The commis ers had refused to take action upon the ignation until ye: dny afternoon, when Captain Seav went before the board and requested that his resignation be accepted. After hear- ing his reafons for the request, the com- missioners accepted the resignation with regret, as expressed in the following res- olutions: Whereas, W. S, Seavey has tendesed his unqualitied resignation of the office of chief ot police, and asked this board to accept the same without delay, and Whereas, This has been a surprise to the board and wholly unasked aud unlovked for, & and Whereas, All the dutles of the office have been faithfully, effectually and satisfactorily performed by him, bo it Resolved, "That the board accept the resig- nation of Chief Seavey with deep regret, and take the occasion to express its continued high regard for him as an officer and citizen, and thank him for his earnest zeal in oflice. The commissioners then selected John McDonald, the senior captuin of the force, to succeed Chief Seavey. The news of the commissioners’ action spread rapidly, and the police headquarters was soon the center of attraction for inter- ested parties who were anxiousto inquire to the truth of the reported change of chiefs. The councilmen met at the usual hour for the regular weekly committee meeting, but the oppressive heat in the council chamber and the desire to cele- brate whut was styled as the victory of the solid twelye over the police commis- sioners prevailed over the inclination to attend to business, and the wise meh ad- journed. Councilmen Lee and Ford took charge of the committee of the whole and started out to make a night of it. Chief of Police Seavey was on duty last night as usual. He will turn over his badge of authority to his successor on Monday. He was seen by a BEE re- porter last night and in response to a re- quest for his reasons for resigning his position, replied: “Whohy n the interests of the police department, the police commussioners and the city of Omaha.” “Will you please be more specific?” *'It was simply this way. Krom the ac- tion of the council on 'Tuesday might [ saw that a majority of the members of the members would throw evero obstacle in the way of the commissioners and my- self in the management of the police de- partment. This year promises to be one of the moft successful in the history of Omaha. There is at least a million dol- lars hore walting investment, but not a cent will be invested untll we have a good, stable ait) govern- ment, and this could not be secured without harmonious action by the commissioners and the council, It seemed that the council had determined to take a stand whieh would block every- thing in the way of perfecting a police organization. [intend to remain a cit- izen of Omaha and I never want any man to say that I stood in the way of good government. ‘The salary, position and honor are not equivalent to the city’s prosperity that would be injured by my remaming at the head of the lice department. The police commissioners have stood by me and would have con- tinued to do so, and 1 cannot speak too highly of their treatment of me. I am Eolng to remain in Omaha and you will ear more of me.” The npyoiuchnt of John McDonald a8 chief of police was very favorably re- ceived, espacially by the present mem- bers of the force. N SWIFT DISSULUTION, Frightful Death of an Unknown Man On Tenth Street. Last night about 10:45 o'clock an un- krown man was rua over, badly mangled and almost nstantly killed at the crossing on Tenth and Chicago stroets, by a freight train on the Chicago, 8t. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railroad. A large crowd gathered around and tried to get u look at the unfortunate man as be lay between the wheels. The street was crowded with bareheaded women and men eagerly strugghng for a front place in the peering crowd, which was aided by a few lanterns in obtaining in- distinct glimpses of the dead man. The polico tried to keep the crowd back until the coroner came, when he at once proceeded to subpena a jury and witnosses. (George North, the foreman of the trmin, Max North, brakeman, and James Diman, a timid witness who lived in the vicinity were sworn as witnesses. Diman swore ho was laying on the porch of Mike Douglas' boarding house, when he heard the shont and running down signalled the slowly moving train, which stopped. The train men came forward and de- ceased was found under the car dead. Did not know him. The train wmen knew nothing except that they were signalled, stopped and found the ~corpso a4 he then lay. The holding of the inquest was quite hastlv. Lanterns were held over the ttle group ef seven, the jury and coro- mer, while the police kept back the surg- crowd and the object of the commo- on and legal form lay dismembered and bloody under the sombre bottom of @ car a fow feot distant. Women, chil- n and men were eagor to glean the facts. All the oral evidence being in, the dead man was grabbed by the l.ml and pulled out between the 8 for 1dentification, His legs were broken and limp; a bloody hole was ugh the right side of his neck: the ht side of s lip was nearly cut off; features were distortod; the ch boot was torn ovon and the wuscles and flesh sadly mutilated, He has cropped brown hair, brown mustacle, and a vigorous we. Alderman Ford thought he knew ;i many others thought they did; uls ive hln name, though all te allowed to pass by and examine the aturos closely. The man was attired striped shirt ‘and pants; had red sus- ‘l;dcrl. but no coat. A white sombrero ath red leather band was found by him, and i ig Iojk«; was found $17.55 in m“ acks dnd silver, wrapped in two Mlon‘ handkerchiefs, The following were tho jury: T.P. foreman, Rufus Pruitt, Peter James Bowels, James Fagan, illiam Morrls. They bronght in & i accordance with the facts, romains were removed to the coro- BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS, An Important Meeting Last Night— The Bills Allowed. The board of public works met last evening, Messrs. Balcombe and Heimrod being present, City Engineer Tillson was also at the meeting, and a few bills ap- proved by him were allowed, The bill of Murphy, Creighton & Com- pany, for curbing under the Eleventh street vinduct, was allowed, at sixty cents per foot, being a deduction of twenty-tive cents on the original price. Chairman A, D. Balcombe stated that City Attorney Webster had left a written opinion on the Davenport street paving question. Mr. Webster had gone to Den- ver last evening—Saturday—and would be absent geveral days. According to the statement of Mr. Balcombe, Mr. Webster had asked that the Asphalt Pav- ing company cease work on Davenport street between Fourteenth and Sixteenth strects, temporarily. The council, by ordinance passed in September, 1 gave the Asphalt company the right to pave from the west side of Fourteenth street to the west enth street. Sia teenth street at this point w paved, In February last the council pussed a resolution requesting the board of public works to let the contract to the Asphalt company for the pavement of Davenport street as above indicated. ‘The property owners on the two blocks had made known their preference for n block pavement, ming they consti- tuted a new district under the ordinance of February, 1847, The council did not concede this claim of the property own- ers and accordingly ordered the contract let, The ety uttorney now expresses his opinion that the property owners arc ;ight nlnd that the block pavement must e laid The question puzzles the council, as, if the Asphalt company is permitted to finish ~the vement, the collection of the special tax on the contiguous prop- erty owners will be by them resisted. If the Asphualt company is not allowed to proceed, o suit for dnmages for breach of contract 18 threatened by that company. The matter deferred until Monday evening, June 21, at 7 ‘elock. ‘The following bills were allowed: To Murphy, Creighton & Co., paving between Jackson and Jones strects on Eleventh street. Balance due $800.84. Curbing Fourteenth street from Leav- enworth to Marcy street, $457.21. To Regan Bros. & Co., from Center to Martha on Tenth street. Balance due ,000.22, To Stuht & Hummell, excavation be- tween Pacitic and Williams on Twelfth street. Balance due $2,835.06. The following inspectors pointed: John P. H. Boyd, C. C. Thrane andJ. S. Behm, Mecting adjourned until Monday even- ing at 7:30 o'clock. e THE TALK ABOUT TUTTLE. An Omaha Man Who Fought With the lowa General. “I belonged to General Tuttle's regi- ment, the Second Iowa infantry, during the war, and am well acquainted with the man who is just now receiving so much attention from the press,” remarked an Omaha man yesterday, *‘A more quict unassuming individual than Tuttle never saw. At Donelson he led his regi- ment in an assault upon the rifle pits, capturing them at the point of the bayo- net, though sufl'erin;i a loss in five min- utes of nearly 800 killed and wounded out of 600 men. At Shiloh he commanded a brigade in the division of W. H. L. Wallace, whose stubborn fighting in the union centre caused the confederates to christen that Point in the line ‘The Hornet's Nest,” and Tuttle’s coolness and courage in holding the position when the command fell to him by the death of Wallace early in the afternoon, had much to do with the final result of that battle, for a break in our lines half an hour earlier in the day would have been of vital mmportance to the enemy. Knowing his modesty, I was interested in looking up his reports of these engage- ments as printed in the union and con- federate records, and can safely refer to them as unequalled in all those ponder- ous books for brevit and conciseness. They are in mnrgml con- trast to the reports of General Lew Wal- lace of the same battles where his ser- vices were of but little value and his loss trifling. Wallace, however, was always more_fluent with his pen than with his sword. General Tuttle is a democrat in politics, but he is a patriot more than a partisan, and the propcsition that the grand army was to be reviewed at St. Louis by a man who has spared no oppor- tunities to insult and sneer at its mem- bership, was more than his sturdy man- hood could swallow, hence his outbreak, which has attracted so much attention. He wasa great favorite with his regiment, the boys calling him ‘Pap’ Tuttle, though hf““',“ then not more than forty years old.! + e - THE PAINTLRS STRIKE AGAIN, A Walk Oat Caused by the Employ- ment of Non-Unfon Men. The dispute which existed between the master painters and paper-hangers and the men, which resulted in a strike a month ago, hae heen revivad through the alleged failure of the masters to adhere to their agreement. At that time it was arranged that no discrimination would be made betwcen union and non-union men; the scale of wages was fixed at $2.75 per day of nine hours, and *‘time and a half " rates were to be allowed for extra work. In consequence of the mas- ters not adhering to this agrecment, both as regards wages and hours of labor, the st ate executive board of the Knights of Labor, after making a fruitless eflort to arrange matters, ordered the union men to leave the shops until such time us the were ap- uestion should be definitely set- tied. All the union men uc- cordingly left work yesterday and a meeting of union and nou-union men was held'in the afternoon at Motz's Hall on South 10th street for the purpose of giving the non-unionists an opportu- nity to come in and join the league and to Xlscnu the question of the strike gen- erally. The proceedings opened with the appointment of a committse to re- ceive the names of men who were desir- ous to join tho union, Only eight men responded to the call, and as there are some 150 non-union men employed in the shops the unioniste re‘fnnl this uction of the former as a refusal to act in concert with the lengzuo. A lively discussion fol- lowed dufluf which the action of the masters and non-unionists was frecly discusaed. ‘The speecnes were of such a nature that left no room for doubt that the men intended to to take firm stand until their grievances are mot. resolution was eventually carried to the effect that the union men would not return to work in any shop in which non-unionists are em- ployed, This action will practically put a stop to all painting and paper hanging work in the city for a time, as the other trades unions will not work on jobs in which non-union painters and paper- hangers arc _emplo\'nl’ The neZugatldud 1o the settlement of t4e strike will be commenced ourly in the ittee of the executive board of the Kuights of Labor apnointed to meat the mastors, with a view to an early scttiemeat, A Card to the Public, ‘The statement appearing in last even- ‘ing's BRE in regard to the cause of the # trouble at present existing between the master painters of this city and their em- ployers being so very far from correct we deem it but justice to the public that they should have the truth in the case, which in a few words is us follows: Upon the conclusion of the recent strike the demands of the strikers having been granted both as to amount of wages and the time which should constitute a day’s labor, the men returned to work with the express agrecment that the non- union men should not be hindered from filling the places h they had oceu- pied during the strike, and in opposition to the aboye agreement the union men now de! d of the master pain the immediate discharge of all men who do not belong to their society. This calling for a breech of faith on our part with the men who helped us throngh the trouble we suffered during the strike, we could not acceed to their demand without the forfeiture of every vestige of self re- spect He re the present strike, appealing to the sense of honor of the public for their moral support. Respeetfully, M. P. THAT ALLEGED CONSPIRACY, A Union Pacific Conductor Rises to Re: rk. Norri Pratre, Neb., June 17.—To the Editor of the Be he intellectual monstrosity who concocted the malicious lie that appeared in the Omaha Republi- can of the 14th inst., in which he pre- tends to have discovered a couspiracy among cmployes of the Union Pacific raiiway to rob that company, evidently wrote the article while his feeble brain was muddled with some cheap dive whiskey. However, this does not re- lioye the management of that paper from its responsibility. We would treat such a silly article with the contempt it deserves were it not for ct. that this alcoholic akes such idiotic delight in stirred them up,” losing sight of the fact in his paroxysm of ludicrous- ness that railrond men are of some re- bility as a general thing, and im- so when compared to such mens things, who are a bane to good newspa- pers and « ace to good society. His glee must have been of short duration and brought to an glorious end, as he was confronted in Omahg e one interested and made to ‘‘crawfish,” as evidenced in the article of the 15th inst. when he says: ‘“‘In justice to the men running out of Omaha it may be stated thut they have never been suspected, * Most of the dep- redations conmnitted have been on the west end of the Jine,” and insinuating that men running east from Cheyenne have been discharged for some myste: ious offence in ordcr to give his alle tions some foundation, thinking thatsuch a scurvy effort to remove his b and slanderous canard from those whom he probably fears would admimster, a ittle personal admiration ‘which he so richly deserves, would be ‘‘the bet- ter part of valor.” Now on_behalf of the men on this end of the line we say without fear of successful contradiction there has been no one running “‘euast from Cheycnne” discharged for this offense during the last ten years, the Omaha Republican to the contrary not- withstanding. We necessarily look for some motive for such an unwarranted attack. Can it be the fact that ten copies of the BEE and other Omaha papers are sold on the trains and at stations to every one of the Republ If this has actuated it we most indignantly protest, it is base ingratitude. We have seen the news agents imploring passengers with tears in their eyes to buy onc of these papers offering extra inducements in the shape of tigs and peanuts, simply as un experiment to see if one could be sold all to no purpose. The paper can be found on the trains, generally in the water closets and oceasionally contain- ing the lunch of some foreigner whose ig- norance of the English language is sul% cient excuse. Ifthe stockholders of the Republican expect to build up a circulation in the west (and the Lord knows they need to) by slandering the respectable and influ- ential citizens of the ‘‘western cities where startling developments - may be looked for in the mear fu- ture” they are greatly mistaken If they do not make ample apology we shall believe the staff to be com wholly of such men as we of the end of the line’” have come in con with, notably a gentleman from Denver, who is well remembered and a'first-class blackleg, who was traveling representa- tive of that paper aiong the Union b whose pass, conductors were ordered to take up aud unless he puid his fare to kick him from the train. ‘The only tangible clue the paper has to goods missed are two pair of brass kauckles. This should clear railroad men from any complicity as such articles and| slug shots are only the tools of burglars, thugs and a certain class of newspaper men. The manage- ment of the Repuolican should ascertain whether the editor of this sensation is a fool or a knave. 1f the former relegate him to the society of feeble-minded, whom he would disgrace, and if the latter kick him from the oftice to Council Blufts and leave him there. The newspaper men of that city have improved every ofipormni( to throw mud at Omaha, She should now take this revenge and compel them to associate with such u _renegade, for a time at least. Better still, put him on a brakebeam where we will venture he will be at home. Send him to the “west end,” where some of the *‘conspirators” can teach him many things, of which truthfulness would not be the least. They might also tell him that the time is fast approaching when conductors cannot be siandered with im- punity. 1f there is any virtue in the law, y such insignificant curs, who can, for a'very small consideration, be induced to cover up true criminality and boodle ma- nipulation and then endeavor to make a balance by such a contemptible display of imbecility. Such men would sell their own reputation for a rotten egand cheat the purchuaser. CONDUCTOR. AMUSEMENTS, The Close of Jeffry-Lewis' Engage- ment at the Boyd. Miss Jeffry Lewis’ engagement came to a close at the Boyd last night in “‘Clo- thilde.” ‘I'he picce is one of Sardou's, which was accorded its first presenta- tion in Omaha. It is essentially Sardou in strength of development, identifica- tion of character and manipulation of a theme which ancdates the author by many years. In brief, the story is that of & woman who has given heart toa lover of the mechanical and, according to the French, conventional order. The latter, without qualms of conscience, without even imagining that he is doing anything to which hig former love may take exception, conceives a love for a young girl whom he conceives to be all that is pure and innocent in womanhood. ‘This love, the hero tells to Clothilde. The latter is offended because she is not made its object, and sceretly seeks to be revenged. ‘The oh¥ict of the hero's love is a girl whom Clothilde formerly rescued from depraved associates. This fact is con- cealed from the hero until after the mar- riage. Clothildo then socks to destroy tihc happiness of the married pair by dis- closing the fact of the bride's antvced- onts. A separation seems imminent, but at the 1.-? moment Clotilde resigns a letter, indicted a_moment before mar- ringe, which re-establishes the love of the young wife in the breast of the hero. Tho story is an old one. It has been pre- sgpted » new style, and is very strongly told. Miss Lewis' interpreta- tion of the character is strang and forci- ble. Itis characterized by an intensity at times almost demoniseak She was ad- mirably sustained by Miss Lillian Owen and Harry Mainhall. Miss Lewis' v to Omaha have been untimely. They have by made in the heat of summer, when it is too much to expect people to swelter in o theater, But she has found admirers among all who have seen her because she is unquestionably sn accom- plished and powerful artiste.

Mayne to employ a corps of capable and experienced men to hunt up old instruments, imperfectly recorded, others which were erroncously indexe and others which have never been placed on record and from all sources at com- mand to compile s set of abstract books which are as nearly perfect as they can be made. ‘This was an enormous under- taking and cost a large amount of money but 1o expense has been spared.

One of the most extensive and most creditable of modern undertakings by Philadelphia publishers 1s that of repro- ducing in our Janguage the great German work on the Arts and Sciences, issued by Brockhaus, of Leipsie, under the name of the Bilder-Atlas. The Leipsic work is very extensive, and deals with the whole circle of knowledge which the subject presents, illustrations accompanying the text in the most profuse manner; but the Philadelphia publishers have made many important additions, and have even gru:\llf improved the merits of the origi- nal. They have had the advantage of dealing with the German work in its complete form, und thus of being able to rearrange its contents—which were not always systematic in their order—in the most logical and symmetrical sequence, from beginning to end. 'l‘hcf secured the services of Dr. Daniel G. Brinton, a most competent authority, as editor, and the American work (which by arrangement with Mr. Brockhaus is to be theonly edition issued in the English language) will be a skillful arrangement of valuable materials. Its title is The Iconographic Encyclopda, and two vol- rst treating of rquvhy while h Pr i to Archmology, goes on with the evi of development of mtelligence in the human family—in fact gives an claborate History of Culture. 1llustrations are pro- fusely introduced, and they add a great interest to the work by the fuct that they ure pictures of actual objects n art or archwology, reproductions of ancient engraving, paintings, portraits, etc. The:r character and the high order of the art with which they are executed increase enormously the importance, as well as the cost, of the whole undertaking. Volume 3, Painting and Sculpture, with 43 quarto plates, representing ancient, mediaval and modern art, is nearly ready. Mr. O. H. P. Applegate, of St. Louis, is here with sample volumes, and can be conferred with by postal through this of- fice or the general postoflice. —— President Clo and’s racent order to return all rebel flags captured during the war, which has ¢ ed so much discus- sion and met with such strong opposition by the loyal citizens of our glorious re- public that it was immediately with- drawn, will have no effect on the present low prices of lots 1n South Omuha, Briggs Place, Benson and other cr}llully ood locations of which the C, E.
