ENDORSING OF CHIEF SEAVEY. ‘What was Done about the Courts Yesterday—The Opinion of a Citizen who is Upposed to the City®Hospital Project. On last Saturday night, the contract for the building of the south branch of the North Omaha sewer, was awarded to Deasy & Co. The sewer will run on Twenty-eighth avenue from Dodge to Chicngo. Mr. Balcombe was asked again yester- day morning, what he proposed to do in the matter of the Union Pacitic’s failure to supply the stone for curbing purposes as now demanded by contract in this city. He said that he had veen speaking with Mr, F. T, Kimball, and from him had learned that the company had actoally received so many orders for stone from all parts of the country that it had not been able to satisfy all of them, but that it hoped before longto be able to catch up with lost time, Mr. Kimball further said that the dela, was mainly occasioned by the com h\nlnhl{ secure labor. It had shipped car-loads of men to their quar- ries, only to find that after the first month's “pay these same men de- serted them and went into the mines, Mr. Balcombe summed up the matter in nis mind and said that he was satistied the company could not kecp its agree- ment with the city, yet, he said, Mr Woodworth held that the city could not cancel the contr: With referenc to the statement that tho Union Pacitic company was shipping stone into Lincoln, Mr. Balcombe e: that he would not be surprised, because he understood that Lincoln had a man on the ground whose duty it was to gobble up all the stone for that place which he could possibly lay his hands on. With reference to Sixteenth street,the chairman of the board ssid that the water and sewer men were now at work, and as the curbing was not yet Iaid, he thought he would order the pavers to commence on California street from Six- teenth and proceed to Twenty-first before allowing them to work on Sixteenth south of the viaduct. If they should be per- mitted to carry on tbe paving on Six teenth strect, the work would have to be done over water, sewer, trenches, which,’ no mat tramped, would sink ben, ment and le casioned on Tenth, Saunders and Six- teenth streets, ‘The trenches under all the paved streets in the ecity Mr. Balcombe claimed, had fa from six to a dozen inches, the conse- quence of which is that the foundation is mpelled to support the vement. medy for this, except to ks as they appeared and insist upon the gas and other how well ath the pav fill up the bre through the ra paving of no street for one year after the same had been graded and supplied with every pipe necessary for_the con- venience of property holders. To enforc the latter condition he proposed to r quest the council to pass an ordinance ou the subject. With regard to the defects i the ap- proach of the south side of the Eleventh street viaduet, Mr. Balcombe said that his 1dea had been to have the approach paved as is that on the north side of the same structure, which would give easy access to and departure from the structure. In- stead there is now but a narrow stone resting upon the top of the retaining wall on which two people can _searcely walk abreast. ‘This plan adopted by the council, partly because of the oppo- sition of property owners, some of whom desire Eleventh street closed at the atley north of Mason street, while otl hold that 1f it be closed there they will bring the matter into the courts. As it stands to-day, the street on either side of the viaduct is not closed,but the approach to the vi nst which pedestrians THE SEAVEY F Why the Old Vetera Chiet. To the Editor of the F d and the Republican of this city manifest considerable umbrage at the resolutions ot the old soldiers,with reference to Captain . and while we are willing that thc papers should hold a course on the class of billingsgate with which they seem so famihar, and have no disposition to bandy slang with those gentlomen, we still think it proper to set the stamp of our reprobation upon a few of the falschoods so flippantly pub- lished 1n those journal First then. avey does not color his whiskers—it is a lie too small and contemptible and dirty for such high souled gentlemen to indulge in, Secondly, Cnptain Seavey is & member of the Grand Army of the Republie. He is junior viee commander of Custer Post No 7, this city. Third, there 1s_no proof that he ran away with the wife of a brother Mason; the evidence is all to the contrar; He was duly and properly demitted from his lodge in Santa Barbara, and if his lodge subsequently took action against him in his absence, while laboring under a misapprehension, it is a matter that cuts no fig as regards his fitness for chief of police of this city. Tha, reference in the Republican to Captain Seavey’s looks i unfair and ingenuous attempt on the part of the ed- itor of that paper, indirectly to s own Adonis-like form and lovi s before an admiring world, caunot be beuutiful. Now in regard to the resolutions-—-they ‘were in no sense a petition nor in the na- ture thereof, and no amount of falsehood can torture them into such & construc- tion; they were simply an expression of the gratitude of the men who signed them, to those officials who had manfully stood by their worthy comrade. If they had felt that that the lord mayor of Lon- don had shown Kkindness, or rendered service to one of their number, they would have a right to thank him; and it would be eminently proper that they should do so. These resolutions expressed the sentiments of the old soldiers who signed them. The Grand Army of the Republic took no part in the matter, nor was it asked to; with regard to the character of the men who signed them, they were veter- ans of the Inte war, and there is none who bared his breastto rebel bullets who does not rank heaven high, in all that pertains to manhood, above any of those iterary gentlemen who hire out their pens and prostitute their calling to abuse reputable people, t will be a bad day for this republic when to be a United States soldier shall become a reproach. The only feature of those resolutions to which those journals could reasonably objectis the request to reputable news- papers to publish them, and if the editors l’m\'o considered themselves shghted by this request we see no way to meet it “VETERAN," A CITY HOSPITAL What a Citizen Has to Say for Mercy and Economy. “Some people have been giving them- selves a great deal of trouble,” said a izen to a REE man, ,‘about what they aro pleased to term an ‘emergency hospitul.! s Stand by the Every. This 18 occasioned by what is claimed to be the overcrowded condition of the two leading hospitals, Bt. Joseph's and the Child's, and seems to urge the peoessity of an entirely new structure, which shall be under the direction of the city author- ities, In my mind, this is all rubbish. There is no more necessity for a city hos- pital than there is for a_city steam” calli- ope. This is a ruse to give some physi- ciuns & chance to attain no- toriety, though at the expense of the eity. Everybody knows that a new city hospital or even an emergency one,would cost this city more in a month than it has thus far perhaps, cost for the caring [ the city sick this year, Where are the city sick and injured cared for now? Why, almost exclusively in St. Joseph's hospital, where they have been tended for years, and at an expense to the city of but the slightest degree. If St. Joseph's hospital is erowded, it is be- eause of city patients, for soma of whom the city pays a little; for many 1t does not pay a cent, Now, if a city hospital, or even an emergency hospital, 1s to be erected, that place must reasonably be expected to supply the greater part of the needs of this growing town in cases of necessity. It would not be right, then, to look to St. Joseph's or even to the Child’s for other uassistance And yet, how large a structure would be re quired to assume suzh a responsibility How many nurses would be i demand? How much money would be required? And then, would the treatment be such a8 would sive the satisfaction us that, to which atient 1l along been treated Look atit in Chicago, look atitin New York, and in a dozen other places. Hospitals in the hands of politi- cal hirelings, which change hands with different local administrations, are fraught with danger, carclessness, abuse and crime, to say nothing of being a K to the treasury of the city. If the city wanta to secure a means of caring and paying for its sick, why not let it charter a number of beds in St. Joseph’s hospital, the number of her private ho: beds could then be reserv tients exclusively, and there would be no nccessity for them going elsewhere, These beds be secured for three dol when not in use, and six dollars a week when oceupied. These would be low rates, and in the end the cause of mercy as also the finances of the city, in my opinion, would be subserved much more satisfactorily than by the proposed ‘emergency could possibly 's per week, THE € What Was Done Before the Judges Yesterday, UNITED STATFS, The case of Arcihibald L. Vail ys the West Point Manufacturing company, an application for the avpointment of a re- ceiver, eame up yesterday morning.

DISTRICT COURT. Judge Wakely, yesterday morning was hearing the case of Byers vs Byers, m which the plaintiff, the former hushand, endeavors to get possession of the prop- erty now claimed by s wife. Both have been separated for some time. The prop- erty in question 1s situated on Leaven- worth street, which the plaintiff claims ho deeded to his wife in trust, while the latter asserts that she paid for it with her own moncy. Judge Groff, who has been on the bench now for two months, every day and night of which he has passed 1n un- remitting labor,leaves on Thursdiy next on a trip of reereation through Kansas and the mountain resorts of Colorado.

The annual tournament of the Ne- braska state firemen’s association which began at Kearney yesterday promises to be the occasion of some hotly contested events. All parts of the state will be rep- resented. Two organizations compris- ing twenty members of the John M, ‘Thurston company and some fifteen or twenty of the Durants proceeded to Kearuey last evening to take part in the contests, ‘The Thurston’s have already distinguished themselves at previous undertakings, They have a ‘‘never- been-beaten’’ record and hold the cham- pionship of the United States in half and quarter mile races, which was won at New Orleans in March, 1885, at the national ournament held there.

Whilst the painters’ strike has not yet been declared off, it is virtually at an end. This state of affairs arises partly from the fact that supplies have been with- drawn from a large number of the strikers, and it has become a necessity for them to work. Union scruples have now been disearded and the men are ap- plfinz for employment in union or any other shops where work 18 to be found. As an indication of the number of men who have taken the strikers' places in the several shops uring the strike, it is worthy of note that the union shops, during this morning have been unable to employ but a few of the many applicants for work, on the ground that they already have suflicient staff of men. Some ten or fi teen of the strikers who are married will continue to receive aid from the union until they procure employment. Mr. Holden, chairman of the exccutive board, {. of L., who has been stopping here e voring to settle the strike since n- ception, returned, yesterday to Kearney. He has left further negotiations with the musters in the hands of Messrs. A, G, Cook and F. W, Bandhaner, members of the state executive board of the Knights of Labor, Carpenters, A meeting of the union carp was held at the Metropolitan Dodge street, on Saturduy evening. The pro- ceedings were private but it 18 understood that the spirit of the members was op- posed to accepting the terms of the masters’ resolution with regard to work- ing nine hours each day in the weck. ters was The Machine Carpenters. The men continue to work in the several shops in the city yesterday morning, al- though no definite arrangement has been arrived at with the contractors.

The Barbers, Many of the city barber shops, com- mencing with last ning, closed at 8p. m. excepting on Saturday evenings, when they will be oven until 10 p. m..and on Sunday mornings from 7 until 12 m.

This newly discovered Eldo- rado for the tough and toughess is not far distant, being no other place than the biuls’ overhanging Cutoff Lake, beneath the very noses of our ten or twelve sturdy policemen, almost, but they are at last determined that it shall be squelched. Here the hoodlums have been in the habit of congregating on Sundays, and boisterous and disorderly conduct run riot in the two or three Iries that ornament the heights overlook the majestic Missouri. These houses have been run with a high hand. From early morn till dewy eve, the doors have swung open on the Sab’ bath, and the clang of a tin-kettle piano, hrral fiddle, and the cript noises of an accordeon, shouts of drunken frenzy, the calliopic hurly-burly of the ecarousal and the loud invitation of the man with the sweatboard, go to make up a pandemonium which utterly drowns " the distant corrillon of the church bells. Whether beer is sold here or not they have plenty ofit, and whisky, too, and it is just probuble that Unola 5 too, is being beaten in the way of revenue. There are dance platforms ad- joimng these resorts, and some of the scenes that have been witnessed there after the orb of day has dipped into the western sea, would impress one with the belief that he was beholding the orgies of uncanny spirits of some internal arena.

They shonld be cleaned out, root and branch, and with this ultimate end in view Captain Cormick, Ofticer Ormsby and Detective Horrigan rode out Sunday night to Van Norran’s boat house on the bluffs, and arrested one Charles Lyons, the manager of a_roulette and sweatboard, together with six or eight participators in the game. Lyons waived examination yesterday afternoon and was bound over to the dis- trict court, charged with having violated the gamling law. In default he went up. Before leaving, however, he statedto the court that he had bought the roulette wheel of James Stone, corner Twentieth and Cuming streets. The wheel and sweat-cloth will be given to the flames.

He had been, for four years, in Millard and this year his' salary was raised from 75 to $100 per month. As the school year had closed, the doctor made up his mind to £0 to Blaine county, with a car load of stock which he inténded to use upon his property in that county. He was ac- companied by his son. Prof. Bruner speaks in the highest terms of the doc- tor's ability as an educator, and says that his death will be regretted wherever he is known, It was rumored on the street this morning that the doctor'sson had also died ffrom the injuries received in the same catastrophe.

He was making purchases for the enlarged home of Commissioner O'Brien at the fishery, at South Bend, which has recently been enlarged by the commission. He says that four new stone dams are now being constructed far up into the beantiful glen of the place, over each of which the water will fall in ea cades creating a very beautiful effect. This will make about eleven dams, each of which will outline a pond. Besides the commission is builaing a triangular bass and a quadrilateral carp pond, the former of which will be surrounded with trees and a roadway .twenty feet in width.
