Judge Deemer presided yesterday in the district court, which now holds its sessions in the superior court room in order to accommodate the United States court, which meets in the Masonic tem- le. 'There were some small civil cases eard yesterdny. The trial of criminal cases will begin next Monday, The hearing in the case of John T. Btewart against the telephone company to make his injunction secured four f'curx ago permanent, was had last even- ng before Judge Deemer, who took it under advisement. There wers a num- ber of the telephone oflicials from Omaha present, and the voints in con- troversy were hotly argued by able at- torneys. At this term of the_ district court two frail women, Anna Wood and Martha Stonestreet, were tried for being nmates of the notorious nouse run by the colored “Texas,” who with his wife were s tenced to the penitentiary the keepers. These two women were also found guilty, but their sente bad not been pro- nounced. A motion was filed in arrest of judgment, and the point raised was that they should not have been jointly in- dicted, their offenses being separate and entirely distinet, It scemed that this Ia. Converse was recently divorced from his wife, and she claims that since then he has been doing all 11 his power to break down her reputation, and annoy her in various ways. It 1s said that he wrote several anonymous and obscene letters, and sent them through the mails. Several witnesses claim that the hand- writing is that of Converse, although a disguise is attempted. The accused denies this, and has given bond for his appearance in the sum of $500 to answer the charge. An indictment has been found against A. 8.

The accident at the clay bank the otner day, by which a laborer named Martin lost his life, seems to have been used by some designing fellows as an excuse for playing upon the sympathies of the pub- lic. Itis said that two men went about collecting money of kind hearted citizens vnder the pretense that it was to be used in relieving the need of the family and paying the expense of burial. Mrs. Mar- tin was handed %3 and informed that the bill at the undertaker’s had been paid out of the amount thus raised. Yesterday she discovered that such was not the case, but that the undertakers had been informed that she had left the city and would send him the amount of his bill from some place in the east. From all she could learn she was well satisfied that about $100 had been raised for her benelit and that 1t had been gobbled up, point was so well taken that rather than | she getting a0 benelit fromit. If any contest it an arrangement was made by | such dastardly trick has been })Xnyud which the two women were released from | upon the charitably inclined the fellows Jail on their own recognizance. This practically set them free, and they will doubtless improve the opportunity to put d‘l:!tnnca between themselves and the city. who got the money should be hunted up and severely dealt with, e A Question ot Tax Titles, Judge Aylesworth had an important and interesting question before him yes- terday, which involved directly only the title to one lot 1n the city, but indirectly involves a great many tax titles. The case was one 1n which the plaintiff seeks to have the tax title set aside. The ground of the claim is that there wasa fatal defect -in the manner of effecting the sale. Under the law, as construed by the plaintiff, the delinquent taxes should be carried on the treasurer's books 1na separate column, with the amounts opnosite each lot, whereas, in fact, they are kept 1n a separate book en- tirely. If the manner of keeping the de- linquent tax list is contrary to the re- uirements of the law, as claimed, and this is suflicient to break the tax titles based thereon, there will be a general commotion, as there are many such titles atloat. There seems to be a good deal to the question as presented and the judge will this mormng deliver his opinion, ——— J. W. and E. L.

There has been sach a free use of the paved streets for various purposes not allowable in any well regulated city that the council recently passed an ordinance making certain acts misdemeanors. One of these is the building of bonfires. The first complaint under this ordinance was filed yesterday. Some of the employes of the Boston Tea company had been burning some rubbish right on the block paving of Pearl street. ‘The proprietors of that store, Messrs. Richmond Bros., were consequently called into court. They pleaded ignorance, and in view of its being the first case Judge Aylesworth allowed it to be dismissed on their paging the costs. The lightest fine is $5. B The Oity Council. Only four members were present last evening, Aldermen Lacy and Wells being in St. Louis. The evening was spent mostly in allowing bills.

William Rudolf O'Donovan’s bronze statue of Washington, on which he has been to work for nearly a year, is fin- ished, and is now on exhibition to a few privileged persons at the foundry of M. F. Power, in East Twenty-fifth “street. Next week it will be sent to Newburg, on the Hudson, There it will be placed 1n the rotunda of asquare primitive look- ing graystone tower. The bronze tabl peace in relief, whi the outer walls of the tower, bears this explanatory inscription: “This monu- ment was erected under the authority of the congress of the United States and of the state of New York, in commemora- tion of the disbandment, under proclam- ation of the constitutional congress of October 18, 1783, of the armies, by whose patriotic and military virtue our national independence and sovereignity was es- tablished.” Mr. O'Donovan’s statue stands six feet and two inches high. The head is small, the neck strong, the shoulders narrow, the hips broad and the hands and feet iarge. The head is modelled from the life cast by Houdon, the French sculptor, who was engaged by Franklin to make the life statue of \\'nshinfum now stand- m&n the state capitol of Virginia. Mr. O'Donovan has represented \Vulhlngllgn in the act of sheathing his sword. The expression of the face 1s gleuant. the figure stands erect, with the shoulders thrown well back. The whole effect is that of a man of spiriv and of force.
