Falconer Gifford wants the distriet court to give him #5000 damages sgainst J. B, Bruner, county superintendent of schools, alleging that on and before the 26th day of March he held a teacher's certificate and had uever been guilty of “‘any misbehavior or uu- proféssional conduet.” About this date Gif- for represents that Bruner wrote a letter to 0. Dooley, at Wahoo, Saunders county, stat- ing that Gifford “was a man of base and im- moral character aud totally incompetent and unfit i point of education, habits and princi- lo Lo te any school anywhere, and [ ercby wurn you (meaning Dooley) and all others not to have anything to do” with this man, who is without' integrity and guilty of much misconduet in the Line of his profes- sion.” Gifford maintains that by cause of such ‘abter he lost a promised position in a school & Mead, Saunders county.

PINKERTONS WILL STAY. Lots of Talk, But no Actipn—Crossing off Streets Ordered Paved. Paving and the Pinkerton's were the sub- jects that occupied the attention of the four- teen councilmen who responded to the roll call when President Bechel rapped them to order at fifteen minutes before 9 o'clock last night. On motion of Lowry the ordinance calling for paving of Sherman avenue from Ohio street to Wirt, and Twenty-fourth street from Patrick to Wirt streets was taken up and passed, together with a large number of ordinances. On motion of Councilman Lowry the mayor's reply to the resolution inquiring as to the authority of the Pinkertons to do po- lice duty, which has been fully printed inthe B, was taken from the table and read. g admirably in ar in their na- Councilman Ford insisted that the mayor had not answered his resolution, and said that Hascall made a mistake in referring the application of the St. Paul railway people for forces to the fire and polico commission, who had no authority under the charter to give the Pinkerton men authority to wear stars. It was not true, IFord ¢l that honest and i e, Holdroge, a as thioves, rowdies and ruf- oncluded ling_upon Gen- wager Holdrege to drive them out and employ citizens of Omaha in their stead. Counciln Lowry said that the head of the city government and the police and fire commission were responsible for the killing of the Pinkerton man by a locomotive Fri- day night. They shouldn’t have appointed him a special, and had they refused so to do he would be in Chicago ahve with his family and not be sent home & corps Councilman Ford moved that the mayor and police commission be ordered to send in the namwes of those who are doing police duty for the Burlington, and to point out in the list who are and who are not citizens, Pending the motion Councilman Hascall said that he understood that the police and fire commission had made a rule not to apnoint a_policeman who had not been a resident of the city for two years, and he couldn’t see how they could consistently swear in the Penkerton men, Councilman Ford asked Mr. Hascall if tho commission could do anything contrary to the charter, and he replied that considering the decision of the supreme court ho was not prepared to answer., Tho commission has appointed these , and Mr. Hascall was in favor of holding them respousible for their acts. Councilman Lee moved that the communi- cations be placed on file, which was carried, and further debate ended. Cadet Taylor, of the Republican, sent in a communication 'threatening to sue the city if his office was 1ot given the work of printing the revised city ordinances, he insisting that he holds a contract for the printing.

HODGSON'S HIGH ART. How a Thrifty Firm of Architects Offsets Its Advertising Bil « Bdward Rosewater Sued"—The Ber Sued For $2,600" were the headings in big black type, which appeared in lnst Sunday morning's Herald and Republican. 1t was vot, however, until Tuesday morning that Deputy Sherift Bandhauer called at the Bre office with the notice of suit filed by Isaac S. Hodgson & Son in the district court for an alleged claim against Edward Rosewater and the Ber Publishing company jointly for $2,000, for sketches and plans furnished the suid defendants Before these papers had been served at the Ber office, however, Mr. E. W. Simeral had filed a bill against Hodgson & Son in the county court for a fraction over £45, due the Bee Publishing company for advertising. And thereby han, a tale. About fifteen months ago, during the win- ter of 1587, the younger Hodgson called at tho Bee office and importuned Mr. Rose water to ot him ro plans for the new Bry nilding He was informed that the project had not been fully matured; that negotiations for the contemplated loan were still pending, and _ that therefore there was no need of plans at that time. | Mr. Hodgson prossed his services and dwelt upon the reputation of his firm, etc., and invited Mr, Rosewater to make inguiries concerning its standing. Hodgson lled scveral times and finally Mr. Rose- water told him he might make a preliminar, outhine skoteh of his own ideal of an off building. Sometime later mr. Rosewater was invited by Hodgson to go up to his office and inspect some architect’s elevations of buildings which Hodgson thought would be a good model. Mr, Roscwater went but didn’t find Hodgson. He went several times there- after and was always told that Hodgson was in Kansas City, Minneapolis or some other place. Some timo last spring Hodgson handed in three or four pen sketenes on sheets about 10x16 inches, stitched together, under a cover, on which a big bumble bee was ¢ wn by some ingenious artist. The sketehes were very ordinary and crude. Instead of an offico building they represented a store build- ing with oftices on_the upper floors. Th sheets were left at the Bee oftice and finaliy taken to the residence of Mr. Rosewator, who, after inspecting them, came to the con- clusion ti they were not what he wanted. He called on Hodgson again two or three times but could notfind him. Finally, last summer, Mr. Rosewater decided to invite competition for the new Bre bulding, which, hie confined to three firms of archi’ Mendelssohn & Lawric and Hodg- on, of Omaha, and S. S. Beman, of ‘When he called atHodgson’s’ of- \is proposition, ho met the senior of the firm. “We don't go into com- petitions,” said the older Hodgson, “‘except ou public buildings."” “Very sorry you can’t compete,” said_Mr. Rosewater, “bécause I wantto see you do your level best. The sketehes furnished by Your son are very common, and I am surc the other architects will beat you.” Well, we can’t help it,” said the 0ld man, and thero the matter dropped. In duc time the preliminary plans by Men- del ohn & Lawric and by Beman wer pded in, They were both very elabor: \dsome. It so happened that Mr. s, of Now York, the architect of Will Koenic's block at Nineteenth and Davenport, was in Omaha at this juncture, and he requested by Mr. Rosewater, as a disinter ested expert, to examine the' plans and de- cide for him which ne regarded as the best and most suitable. Mr. Knowles consented to act. At first sight of the Hodgson plans he said they were inferior and upon which it was not worth while to waste time or thought. He threw them aside and after nearly two days of ox- amination aud study he decided in favor of the Beman plans, although he commended the Mendelssohn plan very highly. Shortly Mr. Rosewater awarded the con- ~. Beman and Mendelssohn and paid their own price for_their sketehes. Meeting Young Hodgson later on Mr. Rosewater 'told him that he was sorry that ie had not entered the competition, and the latter expressed re- grets that he was not in the city at the time competition was called for. Mr. Rosewater id to Hodgson, “Althongh your sketehies were not just what was wanted, 1 am willing to place you on an equal footing with the competing architects, and will al- low you £200 for your work, the same as 1 paid'to Mendelssohn.” Hodgson turned the conyers Lawrie wer prelimin ation and for the time the matt pped Things dragged along till , wlen Rose Hodgson again in_ the United National _bank and asked settlement could not be made and accounts squared, Hodgson ing a run- ning account for advertising in the Br Hodgson talked some about some mistake inthe New Year's ed advertising bill, and was told that if the au overcharge it would be knocked off. Then he proposed to act as superintendent on the Bek building. Mr, Rosewater said that he would ask his architect, Mr. Beman, about it, and later, told him' that he diun't think he needed a superintendent until spring. Meeting Hodgson again a few days later the latter threw out some hints about the city hall on which Hodgson had been scheming to supersede Myers, but the talk was cut short. About the Ist of March it was found that Hodgson & Son owed the Bee Publish- ing company, on an_account ruuning over eighteen months, a fraction over £33, A polite letter was sent to Mr. Hod, questing him to settle that bill, a it ho had any cluims against the Bep Publishing company to present them. Hodgson sent word that he would call the He didn't call, however, but two (s afte a bill to E Rosewater for $2,600, which is computed 1 per cont of 820,000, his estimated cost of the Be building, This, of course, was re- sented us an outrageous imposition and Hodgson_was told 50 two or three weeks later. **Make me an offer,” said Hodgson 1 cannot make you an offer,” said Mr, Roscwater, “on a bill of #2,600'for a sketch which is not worth %50, “Well," said Hodgson, *didn’t you tell me that you would throw in'your advertising bill and offer me $200 for the plans “That is rather cool,” remarked Mr. R, “Make you a present of over #3307 Wh ever heard of such a thing! I told you that I would throw in whatover over charge there was in our bill for your New Year's edition advertisement, but I was not crazy enough 40 donate you over £330, The high-priced artist then turned on his neel and said: “Ull sce you some other d time” On the 1st of Aprl a col- lector of th Bee Publishing Com- pany called again at the ofico and presented a bill for §345 up to date and was answered, grufily, **I will pay it when I get ready.” Thereupon Mr. Rosewater directed the busiuess office to prosecute the claim in the courts. When this came to the Learing of Hodgson he filed his bill for 2,600 in the dis- trict court, and the rival Sunday papers pub- lished the fact with great gusto. This will be an interesti ase, Hodgson declares that nobody can fix a price on his professional services ; that he can charge what he pleases because no price was agr ou. In any event, peoplo who waut Hodgson to make preliminary sketehes will do well to cousult him about the value of Lis time, ——— Saw His Pile, A western_inventor, who brought out a new electric light some time ago, was jately interviewed as to what steps he had taken to bring it before the public. “Nothing except a trip to Chicago and back,” was the reply. “'What was the trip for?” *To find out how mnch cash it would take to buy the common council,” *‘And did you succeed?" ‘‘Certainly; but they saw my pile and $20,000 more.

Naw Youk, April 14.—[Special Telegram to the Bee.]—The most important picee of spring 1s the seemingly authentic roport from Mobile that Captain Sam Brown, the Pittsburg turfman, has been forced to retire his great colt Stuyvesant. The Mobile papers say that the colt has broken down beyond any hope of ro covery, ome of his legs having given away during a strong gallop. This disposes of the fastest mile horse tha wo have seen on the American turf, Stuy- vesant has the fastest time on record for a mile made in an actual race, and in seven trials out of ten could make the distance in 1:41, Hisrecord is 1:40%. Trainer Rogers has certamly had his share of bad fortune, Troubadour, Blue Wing, Bob Fisher, Right Away, and now Stuyvesant, have all gone wrong with him. Tho only one of the lot likely ever again to faco the starter with success is Blue Wing, and that thoroughly game and speody horse has two unsound o loss of Stuyvesent will deprive race-goers of many exciting con tosts, in which the son of Glengarey would have figured as the first opponent of thoso equine_champions, Hanover and Kingston With Stuyvesant out of the way, there is no four-year-old to dispute their superiority Captain Brown's horses, in training, have oft Mobile for the Washington race meeting.

When the down right ha work begins the weak points will be discovered, and many a good looking race horse will bo rotired. The Hagegin string of horses, the last to arrive at Sheepshead Bay, have been closcly watched since they began their work.

Next to the Haggin horses, the Dwyer's lot come in for the most atten’ tion from visitors to the Conoy Island track. Hanover, Kingston and Tea aro most inquired after. Hanover has not yet pleased his critics by breaking down. He shows a disposition 1o do all the work asked of him, and if the weather does not prevent Trainer McCabe from getting him ready the great son of Hindoo will be ready to race in the Brooklyn Jockey elub handicap. Kingston, second in point of honor in the Divyer stable, is doing just as well as Hanover, and to all appearances will bo ready for ra as his companion.

Was the G Away Pro: at Prize Fighter D With by the Vigilanee Com. dence Journal: Not far from the eustern extremity of the old Mission Dolores cemetery” near San Francisco, there is a plaii, white marble monu- ment, some cight'or ten feet in height, upon which is carved the following in tion JAMES SULLIVAN, Who died by the hands of V. C., May 1836, Aged 46 Years, ANTHEM r not, O Lord, our offenses, 8¢ 0f Our 8ins. Thou shalt not bring my soul out of trib- : ulation, and in Thy mercy Thou shalt destroy mine enemics, : A NATINE OF BANDON, IRELAND, E 1858, rected by James Mulloy, Jan This monument marks the grave of the famous prize fighter, *Yankee” Sullivan, who, though nor tion to the present noted pugilist of the same su name, was equally renowned in his day. He wis a remarkable man in many 1 spects, and had & very singular and ro- mantic history, with which no one but He himself was ever fully acquainted, was known by several names at diff ent periods of his life, and what his true one was none of his associates in this country knew, but it is quite certain that it was not Sullivan, Though born in Ireland, he went to England quite early in life, and soon gained a wide reputation as a pugilist, He finally placed himself in the front Yank of his profession by conquering Hammer Lane, then the light of the fistic arena in England. He soon afterward immigrated to the United States, and it _was while keeping a saloon in New York that he fought his great battle with Thomas Hyor, the famous American pugulist, at Roed Point’ Md,, on February 7, 1840, for the championship of America and $10,000, the largest stake ever fought forin the prize ring. That encounter was ane of the most celebrated on e ord. Though it vesulted in Sullivan’s defeat, it made his name kunowa all over America, and he and Ayer were the lions of the day. In the latter part of 1855 Sullivan came out to San Francisco. He ocame with a bad reputation, and, being known asa pugulist, he was regarded by the vigilantes as a quarrelsomo desperado, ever ready for any evildoing whatever that temptation and opportunitp might render possible. It was at a time when the vigilance committee was at tho heighth of its power, and when the life of every man against whom there was the least ground for suspicion of disor- der was in momentary x Sullivan wasan objoct of disiike to the m tho first, and may be vigilantos Aid to have been o marked man truly from the very moment he set foot in San s0 creditably did he Francisco, Yet was _impossible nduct himself that it for them to find any pretoxt for his tak- ing off, until, at length, he acted as a judge of clection in a bitter politieal contest, which resulted in a manner un- satisfactory to the vigilantes, 1 seized and imprisoned him in thei rooms on a charge of heing a party to ballot-box stufliing and other election frauds—an aecusation on which there was 10 proof, and of which many roput- able citizens who knew him believed him entirely innocent. He was too popular a man, and there was too little ovidence of any wrong doing for the vigilantes tg exccute him Y"MM".‘ but on the morning of May 81, 856, ho was found lifeless in his place of confinement, with a sovered artery in his arm, from which he had bled to death. All the local newspaper accounts of this affair published atthe time state that he committed suicide,and all who have written upon the subject since then have quietly accepted that statement without making any investigation of its truth, but it must always be borne in mind that the vigilance committee ab- solutely controlled the entire press of San Francisco, and wrote its own his- tory. There was but one newspaper— tho. Horald—which dnved o 1ife ite voice, and that avery feeble one, against the committee and its doings. All the others upheld it, and strongly urged it to much bolder deeds than it dared to attempt. ivan died in one of the commit- tee's rooms, sequestered from all his fricnds and from every eye save that of the vigilance committee and the Great Author of life and death. If the vigi- antos chose to make the statement that Sullivan _had taken his own life, who but the all-secing God could contradict or disprove their assertions? Sullivan’s friends and the members of the law and order party, an organiza- tion formed by a few respectable cit zens to oppose the vigilantes, believed that he had heen murdered by the com- mittee. When they applied for per- ission 10 inter his body in the old cem- of the Mission Dolores, he having died a faithful Catholic, the ecclesins- tieal authorities thoroughly invest gated the matter, the lawsof the chu forbidding the burial of a suicide in conscerated ground. The result of that investigation was to thoroughly con- vinee all conecerned in it that Sullivan had been assassinated, 1d_ the fact that his remains now rest in the conse crated burial ground of a Catholic church is the best possible proof that he was guiltless of any hand in his own death. e Hotel Clerk's Character-Reading.
