FAILED T0 WORK' THE BOARD. The Jefferson Square Boomers Onoce More Disappointed. THEIR RESOLUTION DEFEATED. ‘We, Us & Oo. on Hand and Witness the Result With Sorrow -Doings of the Board of Edu- cation, ‘Would Not Be Bulldozed. The lobby at the board of education last ‘evoning outnumbered the members and o active work was done pledging votes before the meoting commenced. The great matter of interest was the consideration of the Kelly resolution which asked the city for a return of the $20,400 of the board’s money which had been spent in the basement of the city hall. Prominent among the persons present ‘was seen the placid countenance of Council- man Hascall. Near him sat Captain O'Dona- hue and a number of other We, Us & Co. en- thusiasts for the Jefterson square city hall #cheme. They all worc n self-satisfiod uir that indicated their knowledge of the out- come of the point at issuc. When the reso- lution was put Mr, Gray arose, remonstrat- ing ngainst its passage. He believed the bourd should take more time to consider it as there was something behind it. When put to ballot it was defeated by a vote of six to six, Messrs. Coburn, Copeland, Felton, Kelloy, Purmelee and Saville, yoting for it and Messrs. Gray, Livesey, McCon- nell, Pratt, Sholes and Mr. President agalnst, Mr. Kelley acoused Mr, Sholes of going back on his word, and Hascall with his dis- ciples walked out of the room in disgust to dlrml! the matter in Captain O'Donahue's saloon. The only absentoes from the board were Messrs. Auchmoedy and Morrison, An offer from Mrs. R. O'Connor offering Boveu cents per square yard for dirt belovg- ing to the school board on Twenty-fourth and Mason streets, was referred. On recommendation of the committee on finance the treasurcr was instructed to credit the general fund and charge the building and site fund with 825,345 in warrants which were drawn on the general fund for l:ls'.‘ndlturul provided for in the issuance of bonds.

A proposition from the Edison electric llrhl. company for illuminating the grounds of the high school, was reforred. Tho committee on clafms reported favora- bly on the bill of Rice & Bassctt for $4,495.90, for bullding the Omaha view school.

Gulo be referrod to the committee on build: ings and property and upon approval thereof b{ said committec and payment to the board of the prnmled sum of $465.67, that the president be authorised to execute sald con- tract. According to the contract the estate of Jumes Griffith “ia o be_released from its contract for finishing the Webster street, the estate to lose 81,000, the bondsmen $1,000 and the board #1,400. The attorney of the board also seconded this amicable adjustment and e committoe on b mumnfl and_property © committee on bul reported that the proposed for the high school had been examined super- intendent of buildings and ohief of the fire dofinmant and approved. The committee on heating and + vatilation recommended the adoption of the Rutan s; tom whero furnaces are employed in nnfi and the Haxton system where steam is ut Provisions for ventilation were also recom- Also that the Rutan system of heating be used in the Ellis eight-room ‘building and the.

Miss Maxwell was allowed full pay for ab- sence by sickness caused by teaching in an illy heated room. ‘The pay for the consus takers was fixed at 2 cents per name for inside wards, and 8 cents for outside wards. Mr. Gray presented a resolution el thut Messrs. Dietrich & Guth, the architeots fer the addition to the high school be notified to suspend further work on the plans for said addition until the board had given tho matter further consideration. Mr. Gray said in de- fense of his resolution that he was opposed to ~ this adiition as tho people in that part of the city did not want ap addition to the high school but wished instead a eeutral school. he present sito of the hixh school was unde- sirable on account of the diffioulty with which the building was heated. The proposed ad- dition fell far short of the requirements of the people, The decline of the ground on the south side of the building virtually added one more story to the proposed addition and made the two upper stovies virtually useless. All stories above the second weroundesirable in a school buildug, and a two-story, twenty- four-room building 'would come nearer the nceds of the people. He therefore was in favor of Sccuring a sito_somewhere in that vicinity and erecting sueh a building. The }‘\-snlu ton was carvied by s voteof seven to ve. A joint resolution was presented by Messrs. Pratt and Livesoy, asking that no bids for the construction of new school buildings bo asked for until tho Kenmn( differences be- tween contractors and workmen are settiod. Mr. Pratt said in support of this that on ac- count of the present unscttled state of affuirs contractors were liable to charge exhorbitant .:{ waiting uatil an adjustment ‘Wwas made, better prices would be sccured. The committce on buildings and property were instructed to build additional school rooms at the following locations: Two rooms at Leavenworth, two rosms near korest, two rooms at Vinton, at un aggregate cost not to exceed $3,000.

Cirtcaco, March 5.—The western rate war continues spreading in new directions. Up to to-day all roads between Chicago and the Missouri river had charged full tarift rates on transcontinental freight and confined cuts to local business. But two of the lines ex- tend their cuts to Pacific coast business, As a result rates on first class freights were re- duced 28 cents a hundred and other classes in proportion. When the lllinols raiiroad and warchouso commissioners promulgated their tariffs on state rail freights, an agree- merft was reached among the interested Chi. cago roads that tariffs should be adepted making these the minimum rates to be charged. The Wabash claims the Alton ig- nored this and seat out tarift b per ccnt below the agreed rates. In consequence the Wabash to-day issued new schedules, b per cent below the Alton. This again opens the ‘war between these two lines and other cuts are 1o order. GnreExssure, Pa.

Eleot a Prohibition Mayor ‘Without Knowing It. They IOWA MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines and Bur- lington Elect Democratic Mayors— Stoux City Gogs Republican— Ohased From Pennsylvania. Towa Municipal Elections, Srovx Crry, Ta, March 5.—[Special Tele- gram to the Ber.] —A presidential election could not have produced more excitement than the municipal election here did to-day. The issue as to the mayor's office was drawn strictly on the temperance question. The saloons have been closed without any help from Mayor Cleland, who was a candidate for re-election, and the prohibitionists sup- ported Flynn notwithstanding he was the democratic candidate, Every crex- saloon keeper and the entire whisky influence were against Flynn. John Arensdorft and three other defendauts in tho Haddock murder case worked openly and energetically at the polls against him. The German vote went as & unit ainst him, The full force of the business element which is opposed to prol went against him. The result 1s that a democrat on a law and order platform overwhelmmgly defeated, and Cleland, publican, is elected by the anti-prohibiti element. At this hour, 11 o'clock, all but one ward is heard from, making Cleland's election sure by over three hundred majority. The vote a8 to the other candidates is 8o con- fused by scratching that it will take all night to count it. CEDAR RAPIDS, Tn., March 5.—1.

Ders Moixes, Ia., March 5 —[Special Tele-- gram to the Bee.]—The municipal election here to-day was quiet but very interesting from the singular features involved. The chief fight was for mayor. The republican candidate Robt. Finkbine, the man who superintended the building of the new capi- tol. The democratic aud independent repub- licans united on a citizen’s ticket nominating ‘W. L. Carpenter, a barb wire manufacturer, and o democrat. The independent republi- cans were urged to support him as an expres- sion of their opposition to prohibition. Last fall the same coalition elected a license republican to the legislature and the same reasons weré irged this spring for continuing the co-operation. The funny part of the matter is that Kinkbine, the republi- can, proved to be an anti-prohibitionist, while Carpenter, the democrat, is a Methodist pro- hibitionist of the strictest sort. Some of the precincis were kept ‘open late. The entire voteat 10 p. m. had been counted but the probabilities are that Carpenter has been elected. If 80 he will give the city a strict prohibition administration, which will be & paralyzing surprise to some of the democrats ‘who voted for him to-day.

Unfinished business, the pension bill, was laid nside, and the urgent_ deficiency appro- priation bill taken up for consideration. Among the more important amendments récommended by the committee on appropri- ations and adopted by the senate, were the following: Inserting an item of $77,495 to complete reports of the tenth census: reduc- ing contingent expenses of the land ofiices from $35,000 to $26,000; inserting an item of £5,500 for fitting up the barracks and national home for disabled soldiers at Leavenworth, Kan.; striking out the item of $20,000 for miscellancous expenses of the United States courts, being the deficiency for the year 1887 ; inserting an item of 08,000 for printing and binding, for the postoffice department.

Mr. Hale replied that there were persons em- ployed there, working by the piece, who de- sired to work more than eight hours, who preferred to work twelve hours, and the adoption of the item might be construed to :ukuthnw men stop work at the end of eight ours, Mr. Hawley sald if the provision had any meaning whatever, it was an attempt to for- bid » man to work more than eight hours, and, therefore, in hehalf of the workingmen, ho protested against it. It seemed to him a iece of demagogism and_ nothing else. A ively discussion between Hawley and Hoar ensued, which was terminated by Mr. Hale withdrawing the amendment, ithout a vote the senate adjourned. House.

March 5.—The particu- lars of the defalcation in the office of the county treasurer have been made public. It has been discovered that during the term of County Treasurer Longnecker, from 1882 to 1885, there was a defalcation 1n his office amounting to §17,000.
