) o ocrue bd 8 HORSE AGAINST{CABLE CARS. Interesting Information Pertaining to Both Lines in This Oity. ASSESSING THE DAMAGES A Meeting of the Commissioners Ap- pointed to Adjust the Differs ences Between the Two Companies, Cable vs. Horse Oars, The commission consisting of Lewis Qiements, of Cahfornia, Thomas Corri- gan, Kansas City, and Leavitt Burnham, Omaha, appointed to 1nquire into and assess damages, if any, sustained by the Omaha Horse Railway company, by reason of the Cable Tramway company building their lines upon and across streets occupied by the horse railway eompany, convened at 9 o'clock yesterday morning in the judge’s chamber, custom house, and resumed the hearing of testi- mony. ) W. A. Smiih, Superintendent Horse Car company, testiffed as follows, the ex- " amination being” conducted by Judge J. M. Woolworth, counsel for the horse railway company: Am secretary of the horse railway company. The number of passengers daily carried on our lines from the Union acific. depot to Farnam street will reach from 1,600 to 1,800, We have sixty-two cars 1u regular service, 450 horses and 105 men, outside of construction gang, Question—What percentage of your earnings go to defraying expenditures? Answer.—l\'enrl{ 60 per cent. Our expenses would, in some cases, be 1n- creased by the consummation of Jm)- sed extensions. We carry from 16,000 18,000 passengers per diem. Cross-examination by General Cowin, who with Judge Lake represents the Cable Tramway company, We have a line on Leavenworth from Phil Sheridan street to Park avenue, and from Sixteenth to Leavenworth. starting at the viaduct. The motor line proposes to build along Leavenworth street, and they enjuined us, We propose to build suuth on Sixteenth street and over the viaduet, which is suflicient for horse car service. We have prospected line on Twentieth street, and put in crossings aud curbs one year ago last summer, this year expect to make extension to fuir grounds. We have a single track from depot to Farnam on Tenth stres Cars on Tenth only run in one direction from depot up into the city. Double track on Farnam west from Tenth. Bulk of travel on ‘lenth street 1s from depots, passing up Farnam in heart of city, the bulk ge ting off between Tenth and postoflic On Twentieth, 1if the cable company builds, will parallel us from Cass to Comming_ street, a distance of four blocks. “Va have double tracks there, cars going north on eust track and south wwhulk-of our-travetpassés over this stretch. That is a section where we piok up the largest percentage of travel. Those are the onlytwo points, Tthink, where they propose to pnmllel us on same streets, We run fifty cars reg- ularly, average from §7 to $10 daily, about $8 now, and about 25 per cent lighter during the winter. It cost about $7.50 per diem to run a car. C W W, Marsh, treasurer of Horse Rail- Way company, testified: .flme receipts, Farnam street lines, something like $86,034.50; Park avenue lines, 080.40; trom depoot to park, $83,016. Fifty tosixty per cent zoes to j expenditures. When our lines are all complete and thoroughly systematized our expenses will not exceed er cent. It will be difticult to +induce . passengers to oross cable line to take horse cars. Per cent of damages would be to the two lines thus affected 75 at least. We would lose a_large pro- portion of the business. Don’t know what building of Motor line costs. It would be a cheap horse car railroad. It couldn’t be laid cheaper. Their rails run about 20 to 80 pounds to the yard. The injunction against our Leavenworth ox- tension has not been argued. We ohurfu five cents a passenger, with re- duction for children. Cross-examinution by Commissioner B wadaof our i Tenth and 8 Vi “iine on Tenth an Farnam{ ! ] and all, is about ,000, on’ ite of §13,500 for con- ~ mn-t\onv ermile. Twenticth street line, between Cass and Cuming, one-quarter of a mile, value, §2,500, material and lay- ing track. The damages that would ac- reason of the crossing at tersection of Farnam and - Tenth street, resolves itself into. the maintenance o said crossing. Inyariably the party jvho cuts maintains the crossing. LCross-examination by Cowin: The ter- miniiof our lines are as follows: Thir- teenth and Cuming line, Vinton and Six- teenth, south, Thirty-sixth and Cuming; Red line, Union Pacific depot, corner Lake and King and Patrick’s_addition; Green Jine, tHanscom park, Lake and King; Farnam and Park line, Hanscom park and Union Pacific depot; Farnam and Twenty-fourth street line, Union Pacific depot and Creighton cufiege, on California street. (The termini of the cable lines as far as projected are as follows: Grace street, outh along Twentieth, to Leavenworth, ; om I'wentioth east to Tenth on Dodge nd Harney; Tenth. south to depot, on {7 worth west to college. Of these fthere are already iif a statejof com- etion those from Grace to Cuming,from lenth to Twentieth and from Union Pa- citic dufot to Harney street.—Rep.) About one-half the expense in con- structing lines on Ninth and Tenth streets was entailed by the paving, basing esti- mate on cost of paving to-day, The oable crosses us on Thirteenth and Dodge. Tho work of laying did not_in- terfere with our receints. They did it at night, or all of it they could, ‘oolworth re-examnes: The work does not give us & very perfect line. here has, however, been considerable pains taken to make both lines perfect, and when entirely finished they may be all right, One crossing has just been put in, the other was put in weeks since. Work not in good condition so far as it infringes on our lines. Number of pas- sengers who get off between Cass and Cunming reaches from 1,200 to 1,500 daily. We would have extended our line on Twentieth if cable hadnt. We had, in fact, begun ours; bad our crossings, eto., all in. Their line is laid paraliel with our rmposod extension, with theirtracks one foot wider apart than ours. Corwin cross-examines:—Have em- loyed & man to make estimate of num- gsr of passengers between giyen colnu Between Cass and Cuming 1s the bus part of our road. Those are important residence streets and just far enough away to induce ple to use the cars. —AMr. Marsh, on Twentieth street, ’rnm Cass to Cuming, where the cable olks propose to rallel your line, what would {w u{ they would offer to put in double track and T“ your company 0 to use it? It would do away the necessity of four tracks,you see. If they should do this, could you use it? H bewilling t .—Would your company be willing to do%." A.—I have no authority to answer. ~Woell, thep, as treasurer, stock- and dlr:mr. ";:h'i you vote to am always willing to do what is ind, we to-put in the track and uvdwwmuhrw- only an attorney, you know, I say if the‘ make it. it A. 1 think T would. Q. Well, don't you know that proposi- tion was made to President Frank Mur- nhxr . No sir; never heard of it, save when 1 once hinted at such an arrangement myself, Mr. Burnham examines. Incase horse car lines were cut off below Tenth and Farnam, what would be the effect? A. We'll lose 1,800 passengers daily. Yes, the depot is the terminus of all our lines, excepting the Thirteenth, which goes within a couple of blocks. By trans- fer. without extra charge, we carry pas- flengl:rs from any part of the city to the evot, C. B. Rustin, secretary of the cable lines, testitie We made Mr. Murphy a prop n tive to building tracks on Twentieth between Cass and Cumming, but nothing definite came of it. The cable company is still willing to do this, Yes; horses can travel on cable lines. With Mr. Rustin’s testimony, the hear- ing of the evidence closed, and the com- mission is now engaged in its delibera- tions, the testimony of the cable line hav- ing all been taken by deposition in the hnfimclion suit of of the horse car com- pany against them one year ago. The commission will finish "its labors this afternoon, but will not promulgate any decision arrived at. For this the public must wait upon the courts. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the commission filed its report in the office of the clerk of the United States circuit court. The report was sealed and will be opened in Judge Dundy’s court this morning. THE COURTS, What Was Done Before the Judges To-day. Yesterday morning Julia Doran, the widow of Bernard Doran, who was killed by the falling of an elevator wheel in 1. Oberfelder’s store last March, filed a peti- tion in the district court against Ober- felder asking for damages at $5,000. She complains that the surnoto( the elevator was defective, consisting of a few rotten boards connected with ‘i:olu and nails, and all through the negligence of the de- fendant, Judge Groff was hearing the case of El- mer K. Finney against Officer Hinchey, charging him with false imprisonment, He sues for $2,000 damages. Jerry Murphy says it was he who made the ar- rest. The case of the Omaha Lumber com- :\n’y vs. Juseph Leeder, was being heard y Judge Hopewell, it is an effort o recover a §60 lumber bill. Arguments are being made in the Cochran divorce case. acob B. Erion has filed a suit in the district court against Isaac S. Hascall, for a breach of contract in building on Iot 9 block 7, in South Omaha., An in- junction has been issued restraining Has- call from interfering with the property. UNITED STATES. The case of Gay S. Dayton vs. Jacob Wertheim, to recover commission on E)orls sold, was begun betore Judge undy of the United States' court this mosning, and went to the jury at 8 o’clock this afternoon. M. V. B, and Co., of Hastings, brought a bill in equity in the United States cir- cuit court yesterday to have judgment rendered against them and 1n favor of the Olds Wagon works of Indiana, set aside. The judgment was for, $822.40. The plaintifts base their claim to have it set aside on the ground thagithey under- stood from their attorney that ,{he case had been dismissed and so allowed judg- ment to be rendered against them by de- fault., COUNTY COURT. In the county court yesterday Jacob Elmers, by his best best friend, Charles Tinker, filed a suit against Charles White and John sMorrison to ‘Pacover $400. The defendants conduct the club rooms at 1321 Douglas street, and El- mers claims to be & minor and to have lost the .amount mentioned at a faro table, The swit is said to haye been in- stigated by rival gamblers and 1s an out- growth of the late row with the man Soderstrom, iy Abraham Silverman brought suit yester- day morning against Julius A. Roeder. The latter was his lundlord, and though the former was not in arrears, Roeder pulled otf part of the roof of the place which Roeder rented, 313 South Twelfth street. While thus exposed rain des- troyed $500 worth of his stock. JUDGE KARLL, Henry Pohlman, the man charged with drawing a revolver on Constable Edger- ton, was arrested this morning on a war- rant issued by Judge Karll, Police Court Pointers, There was not much stir in police cir- cles yesterday morning, and the work be- fore Judge Berka was of a lighter order than it has been for two weeks, ., Fred Williams, Frank Parker, Nellie Gray and Mrs. Currie, who were run in at an early hour this morning by Officers Grady and O'Brady, for disturbing the peace, were fined $5 and costs each, which they paid. Hen Smith and the well known crook, Willie Morse, were arrested by Officer Pulasky about 11 o'clock last night while in the act of tapping F. Klenche's till, corner Sixteenth and streets, and this morning their cases were continued, as they are suspected of nving & bhand in & ‘much bigger ;o . About two weeks ago Kfimche 's house was robbed of $350 in cash, and the 'very next night was again burglarized, the second raid netting the thieves Mrs. Klenche’s gold watch and chain, a silver watch, somo trinkets and a small amount of cash, and Morse and Williams are thought to be the parties who did the work. When searched by Jailor Ormsbhy, a revolver, some money and several watches were found on each. Hiram Greenleaf, a colored man, was towed in by Ofticer Ormsby, this after- noon, under the suscipicion of having stolen a lot of valuable jewelry. The charge agaijust him was grand larceny. Daniel Frang was arrested by Ofiicer Bloom for abusing his tamity. R The trial of A. B. Moere, for malicious destruotion of property, in cutting down some trees belonging Frank Despar, was yesterday in progress before J udge Berka and a jury. —— Oounty Business, ‘The county commissioners were yester- day morning working'with renewed inter- estin the matter of equalizing the assess- ments, They had nearly covered the en. tire county and expected to find a number of onnssions of the lists in addition to those which have already been made public. These omissions hsye been charged to the clerk by whom they were made. It is claimed by friends of the lat- ter that such mistakes wre almost un- avoidable, because of the rush in the office, and the inability of a comparison being made because the law requires the books to be delivered to the asscssors at about the time the clerical work upon them is finished, thus preventing all chances of comparison, Slugging on the Street, A disgraceful set of tistcuffa took place this morning on Douglas street uear Hib- ben & King's restaurant. . An employe of thai place had in some manner broken a pane of glass, and later engaged in an altercation with the manager of the place a man named Burdick, They re- sorted to blows. The employe seemed under the influence of drink aud got de- cldedly the worst of the encounter, be- ing cut badly in soveral parts of the face.

The SBhoot Which Took Place Yes- terday Afternoon, Yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock the largest number of members of the Omaha Gun club which has yet attended the weekly meeting at the range, left over tho B. & M. to enjoy the special programme which was prepared for to-day. 'Che‘day was delightful and the promise of an ex- cellent shoot was most encouraging. Among the features outlined were a couple of team shoots, together with a few individual contests. Among the visitors were a number of leading so- ciety ladies of the city. HARRISON'S CASE. There has been a great deal said in the papers about the lots purchasea by Har- rison on and near the Bellevue rifle mnfiu, and it now looks as if the matter would be settled. This morning he ex- changed the lot, which lies right in the line of vision on the range with Mr. T. A, Creigh for property in another locality, though he still retains possession of the other lots in question. One of these parcels lies to the west of the range, and even if the line of the latter should be changed the bullets would still pass, Har- rison says, close to his place. “I'his prop- erty has been fenced up by H, T. Clark, who, Harrison claims, has no right what- ever to it. The third lot, northeast of the targets, Harrison still holds. What will be done with the latter parcels, Harrison says, depends uvon H. T. Clark, THE BOARD DIVIDED. Bechel and Southard Will Not Join ‘With the Mayor. ® A reporter for the BEE yesterday morn* ing asked W. F. Bechel, one of the three members, what he proposed to do with regard to exacting $1,000 before granting liquor licenses. “1 will stand by the record,’” he said, “and vote to grant permits to all appli- cants who pay the amount now required by ordinance, provided they furnish a satisfactory bond, and no protest be made against them.,” CITY CLERK SOUTHARD. This gentleman wus asked the same question. “I will act as the ordinances of the city require, which is to vote for the granting of applications on the same conditions which we have all along re- quired.” Messrs, Bechel and Southard compose a majority of the license board, and if the mayor persists in _exacting $1,000 down for licenses, he will be opposed by theso genilemen. The mayor's recourse then must be the courts. LIPTON'S DENIAL, He Has Not, It Seems, Sold the House to Armour. Thomas J. Lipton, the celchrated Scottish provision dealer, has arrived in town in time to deny the truth of the statements which had been circu- lated concerning the sale of his house at the stock yards to Armour. This rumor was based he claims upon the seemingly friendly relations which existed between himself and Armour. It was true that he was selling the product of his house to Armour, and that he was using Ar- mour's refrigerator cars i shipping this product. But these facts had nothing to do with the sale as mentioned. Mr, Lip- ton could sell to any otner buyer in Chi- cago as well as to Armour. So far as he knew,Armour had not made up his mind to come to Omaha, at all events he had not bought the Lipton house. Mr. Lipton wvisits this country once every year and calls upon all with whom he has deal- ings. This is his second visit to Omaha in the past fortnight.

These lots in the main abut upon the old creek a short distance north- west of the bridge on Eighteenth street. The latter will be torn down as soon as all the lots are filled. Yesterday morning the results of the de- fective sewer work on South Tenth street opposite Mr. Kountze's property, were again made noticeable by the dropping down of a large section of the asphaltum pavement, Sometime ago, & sewer was rut in the street, and the trench was illed without tamping.
