b it RAISING ANOTHER “ROCK.T'- Bt. Petor's Catholic Ohurch to be Solemnly Blessed This Morning, DENOMINATIONAL DEVOTEES. 4 The Building and the Parish—Origi- nators of the Good Work—fev, P. J. Boyle the First rastor. New Catholic Charch. At 10 o'clock this morning a new church of the Catholic denomination will be blessed. Itisone of the neatest little edifices devoted to religious worship n the state and is situated on what the “ton’’ say is a focal point for the most promivent and wealthy members of the Catholic denomination in this cit, Leavenworth street near Phil Sheri- dan avenue. The building is of a peculiar Gothie design, combin- fng the houschold and public building features, so adroitly mingled that were it not for the cross that always points the way to the Rome of this world and a great hereafter for the Catholic believer, and the stained windows one might think he was observing a resi- dence of one of Omaha's wealthy ci ens, The construction material is pr 1 rick, the trimmings stone, and the fur- mishings inside pine and walnut and nota drop of paint having touched the editice from pew to pulpit. The dimensions of the building are 50x90, s but one gallery, and tl ar, which is really the or: The main altar will be of Gothic style also, and formed of rare walnut wood. It 1s of unique design, being a triparte construction, the centre containing an elaborate oil paint- ing of “St. Peter receiving the keys from Our Lord,”” while the side altars, as in all Catholic churches, are devoted to 8t. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary. These are the gifts of Mrs. John A, Creighton, and will be standing monu- ments to ber religions sincerity, as the costly altar in St. Philomena’s cathedral is to that of her lamented sister, the late Mrs. Edward Creighton. Back of the altar 18 an irregul window of stained glms», the gift of the Hon. John A. M hane. It is of beautiful and appropri- ate design, fully in keeping with the pur- poses for which it was donated. Following around to the right can be found other windows given by staunch friends and parishioners of this church, such as M. T, Murphy, Peter and Ann Welsh, P. Manning, In memory of M. Kennedy, Andrew Muth{, J. J. Mahoney, Frea Dellone, W. Gibbon, J. Al Linna- han, Audrew Smith, A, ullin, R. C. Cushing, J. J. O'Connor, John Keneally, D. y. O'Donahoe, Mrs. E. Reed, John Mullin, J. G. Lee, In Memory of Winnie M. Boyle, E. Fearon and I’ han The stations of the cross pictures, repr senting twelve eventful periods in the life of the Saviour, will be very costly. They are oil copies from the famous original designs of Deschank and are the gift of Mr. J. L. Miles, ot Davenport, Ia., who also furnishes most of the vestments for the clerical cers monies. In fact, this gentleman, though a non-resident, has been exes ingly active with ‘“‘purse and powe placing Omaha’s new church on a solid rock. Altogether this new church is one of the ornaments of the city, and the par- ishoners number the wealthiest Catholics in Omaha, Rev. P. J. Boyle is recog- nized as the orator of his church in this state, and to his indefaugable work 1s really due the ercction of this edifice, He was called from Fremont for this charge, and y soon he had the follow- ing laies aiding him: Hon. John A, McShane, Hon, John A. Creighton, Hon. John L. Miles, Frank Murphy and Mrs. John A, Creighton, who are the principal benefactors of St. Peter’s. The acting committee under the articles of incorporation are the Right Reverend Bishop O'Connor, Vicar General Shae Rev. P. J. Boyle, Fred Dellone and J. A. Linnahan, Of these the bishop is presi- dent ex-officio, kather Boyle, treasurer and Mr. Linnahan, secretary. 'This parish was started in 1886, the Hon. Jonn A. McShane, Fred Dellone, W. A. L. Gib- bon and J. A. Linnahan being the origi- nators of the movement. No church building was secured or occupied, however, until the present fine building was constructed in which the parishioners will worship to-day for the first time. Itis to cost §22,000, mgst of which amount has already been paid. ‘The sermon to-day will be deliv- ered by the pastor, Rev. P. J. Boyle. Farmer's grand high mass will be sung, the singers being )lrim-il‘lx\]ly from the junior members of St. Philomena’s thedral choir under the direction of rof. Longueil, from Montreal Canada, THE CITY PRINTING, Another Injunotion Against the City —Granted By Judge Wakeley, Judge Wakely yesterday granted a re- straining order, returnable next Wednes- day,prohibiting the city from advertising in the Omaha Republican. This injune- tion was issued owing to the fact that the city council by resolution had directed all city officers Lo advertise in the Repub- hican in spite of the imjunction issued by Judge Groff two weck: The charter requires tl t1sing to be let to the lowe: order of the city council makes u con- tract with the Republican without invit- img bids. f}mler the charter every contract and every resolution involving the expendi- ture of money must be submitted to the mayor for his approval. The mayor has in this case been ignored and the resolu- tlon has not been submitted within forty- elght hours after passage as required by aw. It is also maintained that the order of the city council was a violation of the splrit of the injunction granted by Judge Groft, Such are the grounds upon which Judge Waukely granted this last injunc tion, District Court. Asa G. Pettibone has begun suit against the Union Pacitic, Omaha & Southwest- ern, Chicago, Burlington & Quiney and the B. & M. railways to recover posses- sion of lot No, 3, in block 227, city of Omaha, and the rents that have acerued during the ttme of the unlawful posses- sion.

There has been a great deal said about the cconomy which i3 being practiced by the present management of the Union Pacific railrond. By way of exemplifica- tion, it is said that Mr. Potter has abol- lished a number of the minor oflices and imposed their duties upon employes whom he has seen fit to retain. This fact has been strongly attested in the case of the abolition of the superfluous supernumeraries who, for some time held easy positions in the oftices of the division superintendenton Tenth street. ‘The offices which knew them once .are now occupied by the Pullman Car com- pany, and the employes are now walking the streets, working for other companics, or acting us preferred clerks in other de- partments of the Union Pacific. One of the first supernumeraries to go was Mr. Parsons, who tried to find some- thing to do acting as trainmaster, He fell a victim five months ago, and the duties of his position devolved upon the chief dispatcher, Southern, who held his position until the first of the present month, From the time of Parsons’ re- tirement until the end of June, Southern performed the work of trainmaster and general dispateher, and during that period be successfully handled, it is claimed, the enormous amount of work which de- volved upon the road in the months im- mediately preceding the enforcement of the inter-state law. It is claimed that this kept him up night after night, and further, that in six weeks he retired at night less than half a dozen times. When the new admimstration came into power the oflice of gencral dispateher, held by him, was abolished, though the other title of train master, which descended to him from Parsons, was retained. South- ern was receiving $150 per month. He was succeeded by Mr. Baxter with a sal- ary of $200 per month, and by another gen- tleman named Gibney, whose wages are 50 per month, Baxter 1s nominally the general dispatcher and trainmaster, though, as before mentioned, the former oflice has been abolished. The work of both these positionsis done by Gibney in the name of Baxter, while it is claimed the latter does little more than make a monthly trip with the pay-car. ‘The salary of both Baxter Gibney amounts to $350 per montn and they, jointly, it is cluimed do only the work formerly done by Southern for less than half the same. Another case urged against the con- sistency of the reform movement is that of the late roadmaster, Fitzgerald. ‘This man had charge of the track from Council Blufls to Valley. Experts recog- nized the fact that, though a new comer, he was one of the most competent men that ever filled the position on the road. He was paid $100 per month, but unde: the new regime was transferred to § ney and a trackman from Sidney was brought n to supplant him at a salary of 150 per month. In these two cases 1tis claimed that favorites have supplanted the other people at an increased cost to the road of nearly $200 per month, ——— Real Estato at Auctlon, We are instracted to sell at_auction on Wednesday, July 27th, at 10 a. m., on the ground, 43}x132 feot on Bancroft streét near 11th, being lot 1 in block 3, Quinn’s addition to the city of Omaha. ‘This 15 good property and should receive careful consideration, Remember, Wed- nesday morning &t 10 o'clock . on the grounds, Brown & Creighton auction- eers, ES o —— Charles Kaufmann has returned from his visit in Europe, and will give his per- sonal attention to his fire insurance and real estate and loan business at 1302 Douglas street.
