Tormenting an ftallan. Last evening Mart Klemar Qttomnted to amuse himself by badgering Francesco Danz, the proprietor of a fruit stand on the corner of Thirteenth and Howard streets, The ftalian took tho gibes of his tormentor good naturedly for awhile, but soon tiring of the sport, turned his back to Klemar. The latter thereupon struck the [talian upon the top of the head, knocking his hat down over his eyes, and answered the Ltalian's expostu- Iations with & blow upon the back of the head. The J)olice were immediately summoned and Danz seized a hatchet to defend himself trom further assault, Upon the avpearance of the police, Kle- mar took to his neels, but after a lively chase of several blocks he was captured. The Italian was also arrested, but was released on giving $25 bail. Insuiting Street Car Drive Car No. 7going south on the Thirteenth street line, about 11:30 yesterday morn- ing, had nearly reached Farnam street when a lady rang the bell to stop the car. As the car had not quite reached the crossing, the driver made no attamnt to stop it and the lady, being a stranger in the city, and not understanding why the car was not stopped, rang a second time. The driver stopped the car and at the same time thrust his frowsy head into the car and shouted in a most in- sulting manner, “Ring 'er ag'in.” The lady looked surprised and left the car in confusion, without saying a word. A few days ago a driver on the same line = stepped back into the car and said to a lady, “Why don't you pay your fare?”’ The’lady answered that sho had passed her fare to the gen- tleman standing by the money box. The driver then tarned his attention to him and asked, “Why don't you put that fare in the box?" The gentleman answered that be did put the fare in the box, when the driver retorted in plain English, “You are a liar,” The ?nssenzurs here interposed and declared that the gentle- mad did drop the money in the box, but that owing to a defeot 1n the box the nickle had gone down into the lower part nstead of stopping on the glass slide. iy A Midsummer Night's Dream. The summer evening concert at Metz's Tenth street garden last evening was a musical treat and heartily enjoyed by a fair sized and very ‘appreciatiye audi- ence. Among the numbers on the pro- gramme was Schubert's serenade; South- ern songs of Ameriga, with violin solo by Nahan Franko; Strauss’ waltz, Morn- mg; overture, from Semiramide, Rossini; selections frowm Rigolletto, Verdi; Span- ish dances, Morzkowski, and selections from the beautiful. opera of Carmen, Bizet. Itwas a pleasure to hear Nahan Franko’s finished violin performance. His rendering of the Spanish dances, al- though brilliant 1n_some of the higher strains, was in a degree preliminary to the delicacy and feeling and remarkable purity of tone which characterized the overture from Scmiramide. The most difticult compositions he renders with ease, and such melifluous notes as roll from his instrument are seldom heara from a violin. Indeed, his whole orches- tra, the Philharmonic, is of a high artistic quality, and well worth any trouble al- most to hear. MONTHLY POLICE REPORT.

A special meeting of the city couucil was held last night, on call of five mem- bers and the mayor. The meeting was for the purpose of de- ciding on the necessity of widening Thir- teenth street from Castellar to Spring, the ordinance to change the grade of Califormia street from Nineteenth to Twenty-sccond and to receive apprais- er's report thereon, to appoint apprais- ers to estimate the damages on change of Cass swreet grade from Nineteenth to Twenty-second, the change of grade of Davenport street from Ninth to Tenth and the consideration of ordingnces ecs- tablishing sewer districts fifty-six, fifty- seven and fifty-eight. On call of the roll a bare quorum was present—ten members. The appraisers on the California street grade reported that the property was not damaged by the change, provided property hold- ers were not assessed for curbing and guttering. Report approved. The mayor reported the appointment of R. E. Gaylord, A. Remington and W. N. McCandish appraisers to estimate damage by change of Cass street grade. The California street grade occupied considerable attention and discussion. The property holders and engineer un- derstood there was to be a_one-foot change, but the ordinance read a two- foot cut. Mr. Barber, one of the prop- erty owners most affected by the change, was heard. He said the change was de- sired by certain of the property holders who had built without regard to the proper grade line located years ago, and they were two feet too low. He thought it wrong that those who built upon proper grade should be made to suffer for the negligence of those who failed to regard the established grade line. Mr. Joslyn said the change benelitted all the property owners but perhaps three, and the three were not damaged. The original ordinance and profile was sent for and pending arrival the order of business was proceeded with. The ordinances creating sewer districts fifty-six, tifty-seven and ftifty-eight were taken up and passed. The ordinance for the widening of Thirteenth street from Castelar to Spring was passed, as was also the ordinance for the change of grade on Davenport between Ninth and Tenth street. A recess was taken until the California street ordinance should be brought in. On reconvening, the matter of achange of grade on California street was referred to the chairman of the board of public works, with power to act. e SALOONS IN ALLEYS, Another Metropolitan Feature—The City Auditor Talks. Omaha is showing its metropolitan character in some new way every day. The latest is the establishment of saloons in alleys, which is a feature of the big cities of the world. One of these saloons has been opened in the alley near the postoftice, and another 18 about to start in the aliey back of the court house. “I think this is a good idea,” said City Auditor Goodrich yesterday morning, *‘If we are to have saloons, it scems to me that the more secluded places they are in the less complaintthe police will have of an{ nuisance arising from their presence, It is 8150 & great benefit to denominational drinking. In ail the large cities I have visited, the very best saloons have alley locations.” “Rather bad for fat men," remarked a waggish bystander. *“Our alleys are too narrow for the comfortable navigation of some people I know.” B ““There's where you're wrong,'’ replied the genial auditor. *‘It would be a de- cided benefit—no danger of staggering, you sce.” I king of saloons,” said the deputy city clerk, “‘reminds me that six saloons have given up the ghost and closed their doors. We have 241 left, however." Beautiful Windows. Thereis now a large force of carpen- ters engaged in putting the new chamber of commerce into condition for opening. The wainscotting, which is about nine feet high, 15 of hard polished and paneled wood, and is the most beautiful thing of the kind in the city. The stained glass windows have arrived and will be placed in ition in a few days, Three of these will be inserted in the windows on the south end of the chamber, and repre- sent hogs, cattle and sheep, while in the two square openings in the ceiling under the skylizht will be placed beauti- fully colored emblems of the grain and other producing business.
