Permut to wed has been given to Peter Larison and Elizabeth Peterson, both of this city. Harry, the five-year-old son of Charlie Nicholson, yesterday fell from the patrol wagon and badly bruised his face. John Donahue, a boyv, is behind the bars charged with having assaulted an- pther boy, named Ricks, living at No. 620 Third avenue. Fred Wallway, Al Hendricks and M.

Presid. Brooks, of Tabor, was among the visitors Thurs- day. To-day there will be no sessions. Buperintendent = McNaughton would like to have a call from the parents of the gcholars in the pubiic schools who have back studies to make up and in regard to their promotion. He will be at his oflice on Monday morning for this purpose. John Tierney, who was hurt on the fast mail on the evening of the Fourth, was able to ride out yesterday in a car- riage with Mr. Kilgore who is attending him.

The ball has not yet been located in the leg of the wounded tramp. He gives his name as Lawren. ays he is from Marion Center, Kan., where he has an _uncle hving. He is getting along well, and the wound 18 not causing him any great pain. He thinks the oflicer shot at him, and does not seem to credit the claim that the oflicer fired at the ground and the ball glanced, accident- ally hitting him, The city is to be congratulated on hav- ing on its board ot aldermen those who are above suspicion, The private con- ferences betwecn representatives of the gas company and committees of the council wouli otherwise cause the people to wonder if some scheme was not being fixed np by which the gas company could secure a continuation of its valuable franchise. There is a growing feel- ing in favor of the elcctric tower n.rslmu for strect lighting, and even with the attempts to improve the gas light service, the comparison does not Reem very favorable for gas. The chief difficulty in securing the electric lights seems to be the matter of cost, and in view Qf the mcreased advantages, that can perhaps be arranged satistactorily. The Evening Herald gets very wrathy because the I frankly gave its readers the news concerning the financi troubles which have attended the Hote Manawa. The clerk of the courts esti- mates the amount of liens and other cluims thus far put in as reaching $8,000.

A short time ago a supper was spread there and the newspapers 1nvited to each send a representative, The Her- ald enthusiastically improved the oppor- tunity and sent three with good appe- tites, Perhaps that accounts tor the eagerness with which they howl at every one who has the frankness to tell the truth about the ho .

Mr. Evans and his asso- ciates are at work making the prelim- inary arrangements and are confident that the bridge will be built as speedily ssible. It 18 understood that the ctors will be here in a few days, and that the day of actual work is not far distant. The fact that Enginecer Moore hus gone away has been an occa- sion for some to start and circulate rumors nbout the abandonment of the enterprise, The fact is that Mr. Moore is the engineer of a bridge being built at Montre: He was called there by tele- graph, and expects to return here in a day or so.

FIFTH AVENUE SEWER. THE It Is To Be a Combined One, and Charged to the Abutting Property. =Trying to Enforce Contrants ‘With Schol Boards. The Bteamer Arrived. The new steamer, John M. Abbott, has arrived with the two barges, which it towed up the river. Itis lying at the foot of Jones street on the Omaha side of the river. It was brought here from Muscatine, and the description of its farewell 18 thus giyen by one of the local papers: *“Lhe John M, Abbott tooted its last ‘toot’ for Muscatine about 5 o'clock last evening. Its step sister, the Ida May, was not aware of its leaving so early, and was lying on the opposite bank, when the John stesmed up, turned avound and in a manner that would make even an elephant wecep, sent a shrilling farewell toot across the old Mississippi. The Ida Ma caught up the blast and returned it wit an aflectionate twist of the wrist. It was ad scene to witness the parting of hildron that have learned to respect each other as brother and sister, Not only does the Ida May crew part re- luctantly with the Abbott and her crew, but Muscatine as a city regrets to lose the Abbott, and the people will miss it."” The steamer is brought here by rs. JFisher, Koehler and Walter, who ave formed w partnership with Mr. L. P. Judson, of this city, the firm to be Judson, Fisher & Co, Mr. Judson has a large sund bank, and the steamer will be used for a time 1n lnwm{: barges carry- ing sand to Omaha. The steamer will also be used for excursions, and those who desire to huve a short trip in the antime can board it while it is haul- ner is to be permanently lo- It will probably be used in ing excursions from Omuha to Luke Manawa, if this is found practicable. Other river excursions are to be planned besides tho business of towing sand barges into Omaha. There is a great de- mand for sand, and in this way it can easily be secured. Mr. Judson has another barge so that three barges will be used for this business. The Abbott has had quite a trip in getting here from M ne. It had to go down the Mississippi and then up the Missouri, traveling in all @ distance of over 1,100 miles, and towing two large barges all the way. It has been some tiine on the way, but 18 here at last. It is a large steamer, and will doubticss find plenty of business. —— The Fifth Avenue Sewer. The work on the Fifth avenue sewer is progressing well. It is to be a combined sewer, both for storm water and for house sewerage. This is objected to by many, but it is in accordance with the plans adopted by the city as prepared by Engincer Williams, of Chicago. There have been numerous inquiries also as to how the sewer is to be paid for. The Bkr is informed that it is the intention to charge it up to the property facing the avenue, except the intersections and the manholes, which are to be paid for by the sewer district. If a simple storm sewer was built along the avenue it would be chargeable to the whole dis- trict, on the supposition that the whole district got the venelit of it. If a simple house sewer was laid it would be charged up to the property by special assessment. Unaer this combination plan the storm and house sewer are both charged to the property, because they are built together, the sewer answering both purposes, Some of the property owners are said to object to thus having to pay extra for the storm part of the sewer. The law is eaid to be very plain, and it18 declared that there is no way out of it. The law fixes a limit, however, so that there can be no more than $1.50 a foot charged up to the property. The assessment will not reach that sum even with the combined sewer. The objection to having the combined sewer seems to be largely that by empiy- ing house sewer into it there will be danger of obnoxious gas arising from the oatch basins, which are necessurily left open. There are a number of large pub- lie buildings which will empty their sewerage into this, and great care wiil needs be taken to pre There promises to be some new legal decisions coneerning the personal liabil- ity of members of school boards. The details of the controversy are thus given by the Carson Critie: *‘Some time ago C. H. Smith of Council Bluifs, acting as agent of Iowa for Blakeman, Taylor & Ivison, of Chicago, visited several of the district townships of Carson and ob- tained from four of them a contract to purchase a set of school charts for the sum ¢! $13.50 per set. The sub-directors signed the contract with the understand- ing that the agent was to sce all of the board and obtain their approval with a belief that they had the power to make such a contract and that it would be ap proved by the board when they met. The board held a meeting and refused to ratify the contract and accept the charts. ~ Smith then sued the four sub-directors individually for the of one set, $18.50. The trial o set for last Thursday at Esquire nney's office. Before the appointed time Justice Kinney reccived a_telegram from Smith telling him to dismiss the case at his cost. The directors were ad- vised by Shinn & Booth that they had a zood defense and that they could neither be made personally liable nor could the district be compelied to take and pay for then:. The contracts were ingeniously drawn for the purpose of creating a per- sonal! obligation and the members of school boards ought to be careful about signing such contracts, We are in- formed that Smith has commenced a new action against the township, this time at Council Blufls. sl Pacific house is the nearest hotel to the majority of real eswate oflices in the city; $2 per day. — A Well Heeled Beggar. O1d man Kearns, who is a well-known character about both this city and Omaha, was arrested Thursday might for being *'blind"’ drunk. Kearns has been an inmate of the county poor house for many years on and off. He has often run away from the poor farm, but has returned as suddenly as he has left. He is blind and is consid- ercd a good deal off, mentally, He has been a subject of charity, and many a meal he has secured, people thinking he didn't have a cent in the world. The of- ficers who arrested him did not expect to find & penny upon his person, but to their surprise they found everything imaginable, including $108, Of this amount only #$46 were in silver dollurs and bills, the balance bein, ten cent pieces and quarters ‘;riucim y.
