A great deal of loud talk was 1ndulged n afew d; ago, afier the acquittal of the printers on the charge of gambling. The principal talker was a man named Munn, who among other things eclaimed that he with othera hwd sent to Lincoln, contributing $25 out of his own pocket, to securo a certified copy of the gambling bill. This bill he elnimed to have se- cured, and further, that it did not con- tain the enacting clause, and was there- fore inoperative. He tlso stated that he gave this certitied copy of the bill to Judge Berka, that he had previously shown it to Connty Attorney Simeral and that when the latter read it he ad. mitted thero was no possibility of conyicting the prisoners, and also that when it was read by Judge Berka,that gentleman immediately made up mind that he could do noth- mf other than discharge the accused. f what Mr Simeral says is true, and it is borne out by the fucts; if, also, what Judge Berka says 1s true, and there is no reason why it shonld be doubted, this man Munn has been willfully misrepre- senting both of these officers without at all helping himself, 1t is now certain that Simeral did not discharge the prisoners because Munn had shown him a certitied copy of the t is also certain that Mann never gave Judge Berka a certitied copy of the gambling law, and it is nlso cer- tain that Judge Berka did not discharge the men because of the alleged omission of the enacting clausé, What Munn doubtless considercd a certified copy of the bili was the hasty transeript of the bill received by the county attorney, only the essential boints of which Judge Berkahad made for his owa accommodation, Munn’s bubble burst very suddenly, and like ail bubbles it was only air. EARLY CLOSING. A New Move Made By the Grocery Clerks of Omaha. As announced in the BEE, the grocery clerks on Cuming street have been mak- ing an effort to have their employers close up their stores at night so as to give them a rest. They have cireuluted the following petition, which contains the signatures of every grocer on the street except that of P. Olsen. It is the inten- tion of the clerks to form a union, which will include all the grocery clerks in the cty: OMATA, July 27, 1887.—We, the under- signed retail grocers of Cuming = street, Omaha, Neb., do hereby agree to close our stores at 8 o’clock p. m. for the purpose of giving our employes their needed rest, with the excention of’ Saturday and Union Pa- cific pay nights; and, furthermore, we do agree that we will not, under any circum- stances, keep open on Sundays.

A great deal has beon said in the city press about the filling of trenches in streets where gas and water pipe are being put in place. A Bre reporter di- rected the attention of Mr. Bulcombe to the faot that the waterworks company were not complying with the ordinance which requires them to fill all their trenches with river sand, except when otherwise ordered by the chairman of the board of public_ works, The com- pany n question, on Ninth and Farnam streets where they are putting in pipe, have not used a foot of sand. They are simply filling the trench with the natural carth and doing 1t in a very simple man- ner. The explanation made is that that privilege was allowed the company and it had not yet been abrogated. Not- withstanding the plnmbing inspector should have been on hand and seen that the ordinance was complied with. A Bill of Exceptlons. The cable tramway company, through its attorney, has filed a bill of exceptions in the United States court to the report of the commissioners appointed to ascer- tamn the damages to the horse railway company by the operation of the cable line on the same streets. The bill of ex- ceptions 18 lengthy, and objects to the commissioners’ finding of §8,632.52 nzn!nil the tramway company by reason of their line making the horse car tracks inaccessible, If there is any such inac- cessibility, the bill hotds, it does not in law entitle the horse car comvany to damages, as the cable company has the same right to construct tracks upon the city thoroughfares as the horse car com- pany has. Further, the commissioners have not stated in what respect the loca- tion of the cable lines outside the horse car tracks has interfered with the ac- cess to horse cars; that the estimate of damages is made upon the estimated profits of the horse car company at presentandin the future, whereas if there was any damage aceru- ing from difliculty in reaching the horse car tracks it should be based upon actual damage to the horse car company asa street railway line. The commissioners found that the num- ber of passengers carried by the horse railway on Tenth street, where the line is paralleled, is 1,260 daily, and the rev- enue $63.50; that of this 75 per cent would go to the cable'cémpany and only 25 per cent to the h company; that 70 per cent of the passengers diverted would be the resu!t pf competition and 80 par cent the result of inac bility. Applymng the sawme rule to L'wenticth strect, between € and Cuming, where the line is again paraligled, the commis- sioners lixed the total dgmages at §23.65 a day, or $8,632.25 per angunm. The bill of exceptions says that thd commissioners should have found hat of the horse rail- way passengers on Tenth street not more than twenty or thirty get on or off where the line is paralieled¥and 1,235 at other li'“i““' mostly at the depot ; also that on ‘wentieth street not gojjve than 2 per cent get on or off where'the line is par- alleled. Thne bill says the above sum 1must be paia tor thirty years and that the com- missioners have no authority to as damages for that length of time; that if there are any damages they should be based on actual depreciation of property; that damages cannot be assessed for inaccessibility until the cable line is in actual operation; that the amount of damages assessed would in thirty years #258,967.50, a sum grossly excessive; that the commissioners should have reported that the cable com- pany was willing to allow the horse car conipany to use its tracks _on, Twentieth streat without hindrance; that the find- ings of the commissioners are illegal Wherefore the judgment of the court 1s appealed to y 3 It s expected that thi arguments on the "bill of exceppions Will be taken up. next Tuesday morning, General Cowin for the cable and George E. Pritchett for the horse car cempany. Plea for a nty Park. To the Editor of the Bre: What is the reason that the county commussioners cannot help Omaha a little in the matter of a park? I just took a drive into and around Forest Lawn cemetery, and it is a beautiful place. The lands lying north are of such a nature ns to be just suited for park purposes. There 15 abundance of timber and water, with pretty lakes, nooks, ete., and every desirable facil: ity for making beautiful drives and other improvements. This locality lios along the railroad and 1s only three miles north of the fair ground. No better op- portunity exists around Omaba for mak- ing a fine avenue from Omaha country- wards than here. Is not this a good place for the county commissioners to put some of the money they get from the sale of the poor farm?
