Tne party left the city abouv 11:30, driving north along the river three miles. ‘I'hiey had remarkably good luck, for on their return home at 4:30 they exhibited n string of twenty-five fat and shining black buss. They were all very proud of their catch, but the general could not be prevailed to tell how many were captured on his hook, as they had agreed to pool the result of the’ afternoon's sport.

Tho citizens' meeting last night was called t0 ordor by Mr. Jumes Creighton in the coun cil chamber at So'clock. There wero about one hundred gentlemen present during the cater portion of the evening, but oward ie proceedings tho attendance od down to between fifty and sixty in dividuals. Upon motion Mr, T. H. Dailey was appointed chairman, A series of resolu tions was read by the seceretary explanatory of the purposes forwhicl the meeting was called They set forth that the Farnam street site was not available because Trg Bex building obstrueted light and ventilation; that ness conters were not tending in that diree tion, ana that there was a widespread senti mont to transfer the site to JefMerson square The city council were thanked for their Kindness in granting the use of the council chamber for the mecting last night, and were roferredto in laudatory terms for giving the citizens an opportunity to vote on the ques tion again by the introduction of the Hascall ordinance. The muyor's veto was referred ret exprossed that by an oversight call instrument should be declared of but the council was asked to enact another ordinance similar i its torms to the ono passed last Tuesday night, wherchy a vote of the people might be taken on the second Tuesday in Juuary, 1350, Tho chu man and sec e cmpowered to pre sent the resolutions to the city council next Tuesday evening, After a few introductory remarks by the chairman, Mr. Huscall took the floor on tered into an_explanation of the circum stances connected with the question of the building of a city hall. He said_that the question was onc of expedioncy. 1f the site on Farnam strect was sold it woula realize a large sum of money, and thoso funds would be suflicient to purchase the Jefferson squ sito and leave funds in hand to go on with. “Tho direction of the late contemplatod struc. ture was ivregalar in every particular, and if we were going to0 build a city hall we must keep pace with Kansas City, Chi cago, St. Pauland other iarge communities. The requircments of the city demanded a central site. The Jefferson siquare site was away and above anything else that had been suggostod. [t was just the place for the city building. The Farnam street, site was sclect- ed to build a city bhall from the Moyer's plans ata costnot to exceed $200,000, and it was evident that a decent building could not be built for such a sum. Mr. Andrew Roscwater, ex-city engineer, was loudly called for to give his opinion upon the question before the meetingz. In response Mr. Roscwator said that he came to the meeting us a taxpayer simply, and as such he would express his opimon. He never was idonrified with any movement that had_been invoked for the Sccuring of any pi site for the city nall, and he was free from bins and could therefore honestly givean opinion that mizht beof service to the citizens generally. London had her great conters and squares, aris her Chiamps Blysce, New York her Broadway and we in Omaha had our Farnam strect. That was her great horoughfere. ixteonth street was the ividing line, north and soutn, and no pa tion in theeity, in his opinion, offered suc advantages a8 did the Farnain street site, Mr. Haascall had said that the question must be settled by the citizens. *“What do we sce to-night!" said the speaker; “just_about one hundred men present out of our great citizen population. How many who advocated the Jofferson street site were disinterested? He ventured to say that a great proportion had privute interests at stake, We are to inquire to-night if this effort made to locate the city hall on Jefferson square is the spontaneous of u popular desire; or if it arose from inter- ested individuals. [luterruption and hisses) The citizens have at a_previous clection de- cided upon the Farnam street site: there _can be no dispute upon that point. You scek to change this site, What guarantee have we that if the question were decided to morrow that the next day Sowe one might ot turn round and get up a petition praying fora recons ion of the question, upon the that the opimon ' of the cns had uot been fairly testek! The selection of the Jefferson Square site would be no settlement of the question.” Mr. Redman asked Mr. Roscwater if there was any doubt as to the practibility of build- ing on lots 5 and 6, *No sir. plied is none i the world, 0 cities | know of, their v halls all built in the center of trade and surrounded by large buildings.” Chicago and Cleveland were particulurly alluded to by the speaker. Con tinuing M Roscwater said that any man with a grain of common sense would not bo such a fool as to say thata city hall could not be built on Parnam strect. “if Parnam street is impracticable for our purposes, said e, “why do you submit it to the people in your' resolutions! If this site is totally uniit, why invite a vote! Ivery onc knows that the New York Life and T Bee build- ure strictly first clnss. Now what is e to prevent a first 1pon a site that is actually tw largor th the ground which the New York Life insur building is erected upon ! Omaha has practically twice signified - her desire for the rnam street site, and you it 1s thought to assist at the overthrow of that deliberat opimion. If we do this we break faith with the property owners on the street, who, upon the strength of this buiiding being put up, have largely invested in real estate and i other directions. During Mr. Ro eh General Estabrook said : Rosewater if ever the site of Jofferson square was sub- mitted to the people or not " No, general,” wos the reply, was, Twelve years ago Webster proposed 1o erect a building on the square, with a market house n the baseme and a city hall on the top. but before ever the bar. gain was ratified Mr. Snydor took fright and ran away, and you kuow it takes two to make a bargam.” At this point Ciencral Bstabrook remained standing. He was requested by the chair man to resume his seat, but failed 10 do so, at_which the house rose at him and yelled, St down,” whereupon the gallunt ‘officer rosumed his seal. From this period until the close of the mecting the specches were upon entirely personal mattors and affected cortain sontiments held by tho speskcrs towards the cditor of T B, Mr. Winspear suid Mr. Itosewater had “or- dered” that the county building be placed where it now stood, and it was so. Mr. Rosewater was aman of great resources, and he knew that to locate the county build: ing opposite his property would enhance its value. He had plunged the city into $100,000 expense for retaining walls, because he wanted the grade of Farnam street cut down. Mr. Rosewater was tireless in his_cfforts to accomplish anything he had on hand. e caught the people napping and then he sprung the Parnam street site upon them “Isuppose,” suid the speaker, *if we don’t look out he will get John McShane to have the postofice located on the hill." Dr, Mercer didu't approve of the Farnam strect site because it included in its plans the city library in the same building witi the il G oneral Estabrook wanted the Jefferson square site selected because ten teams pusscd the Estabrook block to one that went up Iar- nam strect during the day. He supposed that something like the same devices had been at work to sccure the Farvam street locati wero brought to bear upon a tain bivlical personage to go up on to a bigh hill, and view the surrounding country. The point of this joke didn't strike the audien for when the speaker paused for the laughter to follw the remark there was dead silence in the chamber. Mr. Creighton worked bimsalf into a great passion by reason of his being dubbed “itot- ton Pavement Jim."' Flis entire specch was nothing but tirade of persoualities, and the reater portion of his remarks could zot bo eard, a8 he became v Limes quite inarticu: late. Mr. Ford wished the “gintlemen” present 1o know that he was never on any ‘0o mity" that voted for aeyers' plau or the Faroam street site, further wend inte bust tho 1 no eftect, , “there “it never nyder standing in Omaha, and wished to say had ‘twinty: siven hundred dollars in me pocket when 1 came to O-me-how.” “All the money I have now, ' said Mr. Ford, “1 made by means of my integrity and sound common senso, At the toermination of Mr. Ford's specch the chairman put the resolutions, which wero carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. good, THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, Various Ofcial Reports Submitted and Bills Passed Upon.
