S i e e THE NEW PACKING HOUSE. Arrival In the Oity Yesterday of the Ohicago Capitalists, THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. The Knights of Pythias to Meet in General Conclave On July 27— A Grist of General Local News, The Arrival of Underwood. P. L. Underwood and hia son-in-law, James Viles, jr., who have purchased the Boyd packing house, arrived in Omaha yesterday morning and registered at the Paxton. After dinner they proceeded to the office of Iler & Co., where arrange- mwents for the transfer of the packing house property were made. All that now remaiuns to be done before the transfer papers are signed 1s the completion of the abstract, which will be done this afternoon. Messrs. Underwood and Viles are also negotiating with ex-Mayor Boyd for the purchase of machinery, fixtures, ete., which were not included in the sale made by the latter to Mr. J. D. Iler. A reporter for the Bee had a brief but very cordial interview with the Chicago gentleman. Mr. Underwood stated that work would be commenced at once to prepare the buildings for packing purposes and carried out as rapidly as possible, so that everything would be in readiness for the killing season. It was the company's intention to build another large packing house in South Omaha, but not this year. He said he considered it fortunate that the op- portunity had presented itself which en- abled his firm to get possession of a large, well-arranged packing establish- ment already constructed, thus enabling them to commence work 1mmediately— 80 much sooner than if the, had to construct new buildings. It is the intention of Messrs. Underwood & Viles to kill 3,000 and 4,000 hogs (Per day. The exact amount of the consider- ation of this importaut transfer is not known. The sale of Mr. Boyd to Mr. Tler was for $67,000, and in all probability the Chicago gentlemen will have an ex- pense of over $100,000 for grounds, build- ings, plant, etc., av the very outset, be- fore preparing the establishment for use. Messrs. Underwood & Viles express them- selyes as very much pleased with Omaha and 1ts vresent Y‘rosperity and futare prospects. They have no hesitation in eaying that they believe their investment will be a paying one, a fact which Omaha ~ business men are well satisfied of while welcoming these gentlemen to the city. There is also a ossibility that they will remove their lamilies here in course of time and be- come permanentresidents. At all events they have transferred all their industrial terests from Chicago to Omaha and will do their share towards swelling the volumes of important business in this cilly. t 18 understood that they have been guaranteed for two years, tree transportation to their house, of all stock they may desire after its arrival in Omaha, This will place them on an equal footing with all the other packers at the Union stock yards, and enable them to carry on the large business which it is their intention to build up. This is a concession which would not be made to an institution which did not carry with it the promise of success which comes from the experience and the name which Un- derwood & Co. have achieved in Chicago. This guarantee has been made on good faith and it is felt that it has been made becauseof tho feeling that the firm will build at the stock yards. PUBLIC WORKS. Something Relating to Improvements of a General Nature. The fact that the council has cre- ated the office of inspector of the city hall now in course of construction, led many people to believe that that oflice had been duplicated, because that oflice has been filled for several weeks past by Mr. Baker. That gentleman w=as ap- vointed by the mayor some time ago 1n accordance with the terms of the con- tract, Architect Meyers concurring, but the council had contirmed neither had it reallv created the otlice. The action of the latter body strengthens the action of the mayor and sets a salary for the appointee, which before was an un- known quantity. The office will be filled by the present incumbent. PAVING FUND, The council, also sustained the veto of the mayor to the bill for pavind submitted by Reagan brothers, on the ground that the paving fund has been ex- hausted. The fund, however, which has been drained is one upon which long draughts have been made, but, after the twenty-fifth of this month, there will be 120,000 available, so that the fear that no more lplflnk could be done this year because of the wunt of money may be dissipated.. City Treasurer Kush is now advertising for bids for the amount of bonds above mentioned, and on the day in question the award will be made. That entleman informed a BEE reporter that eastern _financiers were mak- g liberal offers for the bonds and he had no doubt that the sale would be sat- isfactory. RIVER SAND, With reference to the clause of the ordinance quotedin yesterday’s BEE re- lating to the filling of trencheés by eon- tractors with river sand, Chairman Bal- mbe yesterday saia that he intended to that the requirements were comphed with. It was a new ordinance, and he had but just received printed copies of the same, which he had tacked up so that contractors might become familiar with them. The effect of the clause in ques- tion is that contractors, after excavating, must remove all the earth they take from the trenches, and then fill the latter with the river sand specified, This will entail a great deal of expense upon contractors, butin the endit will result in fewer drains with concave sur- faces and pavements resting in air, MORE TRENCH WORK, Yesterday morning another defeot was found in the trench business, onwest Far- nam street at the big cut, where Reagan brothers are now laying the contract for Fuvmz. The sewer connection, the con- ractor claimed, was left uncovered under the sidewalk and the consequenco is that o section of the earth under the concrete has been washed, out greatly to the pos- sible damnge of the same. Chairman Balcombe went out to see the extent of the damage. LARGER MAINS, The waterworks company has a big gang of men at work on Ninth street re- placing the six-inch mains with fourteen- inch, down pastthe Union Pacific head- quarters, to connect in with the general service of the city. The general plan is to increase to the size of the mains where- ever there are small maimns throughout the entire service, and the lurge main on Niuth will extend clear acrossthe city, while the main on Twentieth street will pe increased to twenty-four inches in diameter, and also extend clear across the city and connect with the Cnmng street line. .On Leavenworth. strect the main will be increased from six to ten inches, and from Niath to Tenth streets, Bp Farpam, to twelve inches,. Other material improvements, looking to the perfection of the system, is in contem- plation and the company expect to ac- complish avast amount of work during the balanoe of the summer. - TIES OF BROTHERHOOD. Made Strong and Extensive by the Flourishing Knights of Pythias. On the 27th of this month all the offi- cers of the eight divisions of the Knights of Pythias order which are now in this city will meet under the order of 8ir Knight Carnahan, major- general of the umiformed . rank of the Knights of Pythias in the world. They will number twenty-four, and elect a colonel and the other oflicers of the regiment into which the divisions men- tioned are to be found. On the next day these ofticers will go to Lincoln, where they will be met by the officers of the other divisions in the state, seventeen in number, and aid in the formation of a second regiment. In the afternoon they will meet at 2 o'clock, form a brigade, and elect a commander, who in turn will appoint his subordinate oflicers. THE COURTS, What Was ‘Done Before the Judges Yesterday. UNITED STATE: Patrick Grant, of Beatri before Judge Dundy an attempt to impede the due administration of justice by tamper- ing with the jury mn the case of A. J. Crosby vs Gage county, to recover the ground upon which said county’s court house stands, *pleaded not guilty, and was bound over in the sum of §1,000, his own recognizance being accepted. The court was again occupied with a number of old bankruptey cases, DISTRICT, Judge Hovewell will be in the city next Saturday, and will hear arguments of counsel upon a number of motions for new trials. Lee Estelle is preparing the Volmer case for appeal. A man named Blum who resides near Waterloo, this county, obtained A‘udg- ment against the Union_ Pacific railway for the value of a cow killed by the de- fendant's cars. The company will ap- peal the case to test the validity of the statute which requires the “ringing of the bell or svunding the whistle of the locomotive for eighty rods” before reaching a road cmsain‘F A snit was instituted by John Finch against the Union Pacific railway yester= day for damages to the amount of $1,009 for the death of his son,Samuel B. Finch, who was killed while removing material from one ot the company's cars. Judge Wakeley wus engaged yesterday morning in hearing the closing testimony in the case of James Byers against his former wife, Mary, for an accounting in the matter of certain real estate transac- tions involving about $25,000. The evi- dence was all in at 11 o'clock and the ing of the arguments was deferred to some future date hereafter to be de- cided upon. Judge Wakely, as already announced, has given a decision 1n the Cochran di- vorce case, but it has not been correctly reported. The decree was in favor of the plaintiff, who sought for divorce on the ground that his wife at the time of her marriage to him was already married to another man. This was the prayer of the petitioner. , arraigned chirged with COUNTY COURT. Two cases for small amounts on bills for goods sold and delivered were com- menced in this court yesterday. T. J. Beard & Bro. commenced an action against Bertie Mann for the possessi of lot 4, block E, in this® city. another feature of a rather prolonged litigation that has occupied the attention of the courts for some time. POLICE COURT. William Black stood up before Judge Berka yesterdav morning, and being un- ahle to give a reliable account of himself, was sent up for five days. Jennie Day and Fannie Caldwell were arrested Tuesday might about 10 o’clock while returning from an up-town res- taurant with an escort and run in by Officer Bloom. The charge of strect walking was on the slate opposite their names, but this they vehemently dis- claimed to the court, and succeeded in getting their case continued. The girls are both very flip, very fly, and probably very street walkin, James Farrell was drunk and wanted to clean out a lower Ninth street dive. He vulled a revolver and made some very warlike demonstrations, and fically suc- ceeded in getting run in.He was summar- ily disposed of being sent up for ten day His gun was contfiscated. Steven Hamilton and Charlie Jones in- dulged in a little scrap, for which they went over the hill for four days each. James Young, for interfering with an officer, received three days. O'Connell-Creighton. Yesterday morning John O’Connell, of the firm of Chamberlain, Anderson & O’Connell, was united in matrimonial bonds toMiss Ella Creighton, daughter of Hon. James Creighton. The nuptial mass was celebrated by Rev. Father McCarthy, andwas the occasion of drawing the larg- est congregation to the cathedral that has witnessed & marriage ceremony there in many a day. These occasions are unusu- ally impressive in the Catholic church, Fnther%lc(:x\rthy gave a few words of advice to the happy counle at the con- clusion of the mass. ~ The attendants of the groom and bride were Henry L. Chamberlain and Miss Mary Creighton, and the ushers, Harry Burkley and George Paul. The newly married couple did not go on a wedding tour, but repaired at once to'their new home No, 2435 Seward street, where a reception was held, A host of well- wishing friende were on hand with col gratulatory wishes, Both contracting parties ave well and favorably known in this city. The groom is one of our most prominent and sterling young business men, and the bride is the daughter of one of Omaha's oldest and leading citi- zons and related to the wealthiest and best known families of the city, No young couple ever commenced the voy- age of matrimonial life 1 this city with a brighter future before them, R J.

Campbell, one of Omaha's earliest set- tlers, died at his residenve on Dodge street, after four weeks' 1illness. Mr. Campbell wasborn at Noblestown, Pa., September 25, 1819, He went to Newton Falls, Trumbnll county, Ohio, at an early age and was married at that place, March 27, 1845, to Ann E. Reed, who now survives him. He was appointed post- master at Newton Falls and held the oflice through the Taylor and Fillmore administration from 1849 to 1854 He came to Omaha in 1857 and was elected to the city council in 1858, He served another term in the city council in 1863, and again ia 1871-2, In 1877 he was ap- pointed by President Hayes, surveyor of customs for the port of Omaha, and was reappointed by President Arthur in 1882, He held this offico nine years. In his many years service as & public officer he enjoyed the unusual -distinction of serv- ing the public without ever having a question raised as to his official integrity, He leaves his family in very com{orub{ citcumstances, his estate being ;1uiu| large, vonsisting principally of real es- tate. The funeral will take place Friday at-10 o'clook, WHOLESALE - ADDITIONS, Which Forcibly Attests to Omaha's Remarkable Growth. As an interesting supplement to the article in yesterday's BEE on the mid- summer business situation and the out- look for” the city of Omaha, herewith is given a list of all the wholesale houses and manufacturing companies that have located here since January 1, 1887, and 1t makes a showing that will surpass that of any other city in the west: Blake, Bruce & Company, drugs. L. F. Backhoff, cigars. J. A. Bollman, cigars. § W. R. Drummond, carringe manufac- ory. H. C. Hartry, carriage manufactory. Herman Henock, cigars. George Kurz, wholesale meat market. Omaha Rubber company. Omaha Art manufactory. Omaha Flaning Mill company. Omaha Iron Metal company, Omaha Wire works. Omaha Manufacturing company. Philips & Co., merchandise brokers. Richards, James & Co., planing mill. George Schroeder & Co., commission. A. H. Silverman, notions. Richard Smith, brickmal Stemmel, Philips & Co., A. Strott, cigars. Omaha Lumber company. Booth & Son, oysters and fish. Chase & Sanborn, spices. "The Collins Gun company. Hegermann & Pinsch, commission, Henry & Coatsworth, lumber. Jac:]ues & Michaels, giass. A. Johnson, cigars. Thomas W. McNamara, butcher. G. W. Masson & Co., butchers. Pruyn Brothers, paints. i James, Richards & Co., planing mill. Ryan & Walsh, bricks, E.E. Sanborn & Co., feed. George Stiles, overalls. The Thornton Machine company. Waelshans, Pratt & Haines, tlour. L. W. Wolfe, electrio supplies. Youngerman Brothers, brick. Gilmore & Phul, clothing. The Mayne Paint company. The Syrups company, Usher & Russell, foundry. C. Rosso & Co., fruits. . Kenyon & Co., stationery. . Bickel & Co., brick. ierks Manufacturing company. Eclipse Installment company. The Fergeson Furniture company. McSeurile & Oehrle, foundry. ‘The Missouri Vinegar works. Stanley & Petty brick. E. R. Townsend, mill. The Union Typ~ Foundry. Abraham Smith, optician’ supplies. Martin Brothers & Co., commission. Beard & Otis, wall paper and paint. Freeman & Co., commission, Homan & Sweeney, i G. H. Mack, Wei Turner & Jay, ha Cummings & Nei artistic goods. This makes the number sixty-four, and so far as reports go, all are doing a pros- perous business, with a flattering pros- pect of a steady increase. The increase of retail houses over the wholesale has been at about the ratio of five and one- half to one, and together the two classes of business houses and firms makes an ex- traordinary exhibit indeed, an exhibit that will doubtless inspire commercial circles with a contidence and security that will go & long way 1n attracting many additional industries here within the coming twelve months. Of course, in population, the eity is increasing com- mensurately with her business, and Omaha may well feel proud of her present condition and wonderful growth. ——— MEN OF WAR. ts and caps. son, paints, glass and Ought Military Bands Compete With Civic Ones. Mr. Franko called at the Ber office yesterday, and denied the statement attr1 buted to him by Mr. Wiedemeyer, leader ot the Second infantry band, namely, that if the band of that regiment should accept an engagement at that garden, it would take the bread out of his_(Franko's) mouth, What Mr. Franko did say, he states, was that such an act on the part of the bana would take the bread out of the mouths of his men, some of whom are strangers and dependent upon him for labor and re- muneration, Mg, Franko further claims that military musicians have no right to play in a place while there are unemploy- ed civic musicians to be had. He states that this matter was settled some years ago when it sought to secure a military band for Newport, and the appli was declined because there were civie musical organizations there with whom the soldiers would come in unjust com- petition. 0 Wanted, at onc.s:, 100;:0 200 barrels of carrots. Call on or address J. Y, Fuller, 89 Pearl street, Council Blu A Brown Will Stay. The Herald continues to maliciously assail [saac Brown, who has sued it for libel by civil and criminal suits. This morning the Herald charges that Brown is making vreparations to leave the city as soon as the cases are decided, and furthermore that he is the owner of fully a dozen houses of prostitution. These charges are not true. Brown owns $50,- 000 worth of real estate in his own name, and $70,000 worth in company with an- other man. He is worth over $100,000, and he has made it in real estate. Itis not likely that a man having such large interests in Omaha 1s going to leave the city. Asto Mr. Brown being & crook and the head of a thieving gang, as charged by the Herald, he, of course, em- phatically denies every such charge, and will leave it to a jury.” Further than this he does not propose to fight his case through the newspapers, Bucking a Pilot. Last Sunday night, a young lad named John Schrage, walked out on the Union Pacific track beyond Valley and lay down and slept beside the rail. In his slumbers, he became restless and roll- ed around until his head came within a short distance of the iron. While there, a train passed at passenger speed. and the pilot of the engine struck the slum- berer on the head knocking him insen- sible and seriously lructurmm the skull, He was brought o St. Joseph's hospital and there Dr. Galbraith performed a suc- cessful operation removing & number of the pieces of the cranium which had been pressed down upon the brain. The young man is in a precarious condition and 1t can not yet be told whether he will sur- vive. His father who resides in Herd- land, Missour:, has been notitied. A Fool and His Money. John Peterson, the real estate dealer, 207 South Fifteenth street, who was ar- rested at the instigation of J. W. Weiss on a charge of forgery, was bound over yesterday to the district court in the sum of $1.000. Weiss alleges that he advanced $102 on a note presented to him by Peterson buurmr the signature of J. D. Bryant, and calling for $110.50; and that J. D, Bryant is a myth and Pet- erson a forger and a fraud. Peterson claims that BB'nnt is' alive and living on this terrestrial footstool, and that the note was straight and good as wheat, e Sunday School Superintendents, The convention of Sunday school super: mtendents of Omaha which was to have been held in the Dodge street Presby- terian church on the evening of the 21st | e A e inst., is postponed until the evening of- school superinten- stants are cordially papers are requested to the 25th.

Dan Honin, the popular and energetic editor and manager of the Railway News, has severed his connection with that paver and on next Saturday will appear at tho head of a new paper to be known as the Railway Reporter. Mr. Honin 18 well adapted to the business and his ex- tensive acquaintance with railroad men throughout this part ot the country will be of invaluable assistance to him ou his sheet. Judge Porter's Arrival. Hon. John R. Porter and wife, of Los Angeles, California, are in the city on a briet visit and are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Haney, the latter being their daughter. Mr. Porter was formerly police judge of Omaha for a number of vears, and was one of Omaha's pioneers. 1is many friends are glad to know that he is prosperous in his California home. He of course is surprised at the marvell- ous stride being made by Omaha. Pleasure Ahead. The members of division 183, Brother- hood of Locomotive Engineers, will hold a picnic at Lake Manawa in the near future, probably the first moonlight night. This favorite class of our citizens never do anything by halves and this pleasure event can be looked forward to with interest by all lovers of a good social time. Tom's Draw. Ex-Marshal Cummings drew $150 yes- terday morning as payment for services for the month of May, although Chief Seavey was oflicially at work too. 1t will be observed that the rate is according to the increased salary under the new char- ter. Mayor Broatch refrained fromn sign- ing the warrant until yesterday. In a Sling. George Leslie, of Leslie & Leslie, is carrying his right arm in a sling.
