It is known, however, that the committee will recoramend the passage of the measures. The vote will be Lindsay, Hurd and Shanner fn the aftirmative, with Ransom and Beards- Loy opposed. “Eighteen stnators are known to favor submission,” said Mr. dsay, “and thre or four ure'dgoubtful. We need twenty vote to carry the bill. In my opinion this logisla. ture will pass cither an act,to submit or a prolubitory law. There are in the house fifty-six members for submission, which is within four of enough votes. I think there is an understanding that if the bill for sub. mission fail the fight will bo for a prohib- ftory statute, and when a f men banded together like that cannot carry their primary object there are gyod chances of eatching few votes on an alternativi Yes, sir, I think it will be submission or prohibition,” The High School Matter. LixcoLy, Neb., Jan. 91.—[Special to T EE. | —Doughty Charl Brown ran down rom Omaha this morning, and, with a book of aws in hand, is bolding earnest consultations with individual senators. Mr. Brown is opposiug the bill directing the governor to ive the school district of Omaha a title to the high school grounds in that city. In an- gwer 1o queries he explained: “No, 1 do not represent Rny organized opposition. I came here on my own wmotion and in the interest of the eople who live about the high school. Tho Benators who voted for this bill in committee of the whole urday did so under a misun- derstanding. Tt is a covertscheme to put the e(i)gn. hool grounds intothe control of the urd of education, who want to cover it with buildings, Omaha has got few parks and ezery time we get a breathing space gome one tries to close it up. They are try lng to wet Jefferson square fora public build ng, and this senate bill is a_schemo to rob 5.0f Capitol square, The original law gave he square to the city with the right to use it or a high school, B breach of faith” Conversation with a few of the senators fndicates a change of attitude when the bill comes up again. They did not understand the true inwardness of the bill, and are in- lined to think they have been duped. They will resent the effort to malo blind tools of them. The Railroad Commission, LixcowN, Neb,, Jan, 21.—[Special to Tue Bee.] —The senate committee on constitu- Rional amendmonts has made no headway on the schieme for an electiy ailroad cornmis- gion. ‘There are two bills by Raymond and Keckley, and Chairman Lindsay was directed to dovetuil them together, but he has given ftup as a hopeless task. The committee however, voted unanimously to report such ad this new proposition is B bill, and the chairman is"confident, it will pass the senate with very little opposition, Treasurer's Accounts, LixcoLy, Neb,, Jan, 21.—[Special to Tig Bre.]—The Cady bill for the appointment of &0 examiner of county treasurer's accounts is attracting considerable attention. The Ruthor of the measure have lived i Nebraska twolve year and for two-thirds of that time was in th mewsvaper business, which gave me spec opportunities for learning of the short fn the accounts of county treasurors hink baif the counties of the state, aut one me or another, have had grave irregulari ties in their financial affairs. On the spur of the mowent I can call to mnd Adams, Buf alo, Sherman, Valley, Howard, Merri latt, Madison, Knox and Colfax. Mind ¥ou, 1 do not say ull of them have had finan- clol losses, for in some cases the treasurers or their bondsmen have made good the de ficits, Instead of growing better thero peems 10 be more laxity than ever. By far tho lavger number of these shortages is not the vesult of dishonesty. They are of grad ual growth and due to an entanglement of Most of our county treasurers are farmers or mechanics, Thoy are not adepts at bookkeeping. They adopt the _ methods of their predecessors, 1f ervors al udy exist in the secounts they aro unable o detect them, and others easily eroep in. e only roport a treasurer now makes is to Athe county commissionors, who ure goner- “ally farmers and not accountants. They amerely “check up” The report s ubstract of the treasurer's & gokn. and of course it chocks with itself, I not strange, whon you carcfully consider the couditions, that there are 8o many irreg. mlarities in our finavcial affaivs, My bill contemplates, first, o uniform systom of Books. At present there 18 no uniformity and the lubor of an examiner would bo o oeedingly dificult. The next object is the ®ppointment of an expert accountant to ox amine the books of every treasurer at least once a year. There is nothing in the bill to vent a more frequent examination of the accounts of & man who miy bu careloss or dgnorunt, or dishonest. With such au oxam Anation it would be woll nigh impossible for the irregularitics now 50 common to exist, unless the treasurer were designedly dishon” @st. ‘Take the case of Morriok county.

S Insurance Men Alarmed, LixcoLy, Neb., Jan. 21.—[Special Telegram to Tk Ber.|—The opposition of insurance compunies to legislation is increasing. 1t1s now certain that they propose to fight all legistation not to their liking, Some twenty or thirty lobbyists have been laboring with the house to-day to defeat the following bill: Section 1.

How Mr. Chambers Failed What He Went Afier. In every well-regulated oftico of a clerk of the United States court is an appearance docket, in which the clerk cnters the decrecs and judgments of the court. Such a docket is kept in the ofice of Elmer D. Frank, clevk of the United States cireuit court in this city. When a transfer of real ostate is made, tho purchaser is interested to know whethe there are any judgments hunging over the realty, aud it, thorefore, devolves upon an abstractor or an attorney to gain this in- formation in making au accurate abstract of the property. With such an object m Chambers, an abstractor, lrank’s office yestel docket. “I shall have to refuse your roquest, sir,” replied the young lady wio has charge of the docket, in the absence of the cleri at Lin- coln. My instructions are to permit no one tosecit, If you want any information, 1 will try to accommodate you." And'the lady powted toa printed order which hung cn the wall, signed by Attorney CGeneral Garland, wherein it _is stipulated that the ntitled o 15 cents for a certificate of each judgment or “no-lion." “I demand that “docket,” insisted Cham- and will get 1t myself.” ing the action to the word, he stepped into an adjoining room, behind ‘the counter and to u case in which the dockot is kept and took out the docket. The lady again remon- strated, and made a movement as if to re- cover the docket. “You cannot have it,” growled Chambers, “and if you take it it must be by main force, which will amount to assanlt and battery.” Not dismayed, however, the lady ran to the ofice of the 'United States warshal and summoncd him to her assistance, Mr. Bierbower immediately complied, when a decidedly hot interview be- tween the two men occurred. Chambers at- tempted to bluff tho ofiicer as he had the lady, but_final umbed and left the officér in disgust, Ouly last weels the deputy clork with- out ceremony took the docket from Cham- bors, who had called and was consulting it without permission. to Get view, John M. lled at Mr. day aud requested the Educational Finances. The specinl committec of the board of edu- cation which waited on the finance committee of the city couneil last Saturday and received such a cold reception because of the latter thinking they wanted too much, went back to the bonrd rooms and instructed Secretary Piper to make out an_epitomized estimate of anticipated oxpenditures for the oensuing year.

May Darling, who was with him at the time, stated to Coron Drexel yestorday — that when the ae nt oceurred the horse was on @ run, and that in some way Forbes fell out of the carriage, and she having bold of his arm was pulled out'with him, HBut as this con- flicts with other statements made earlier, but little weight is attached to it, Dr. Parker states that the frontal bone of the deceased was of unusual thickness and the brain larger than the average. No arrange- ments have as yev been made for the funeral, the delay being occasioned by awaiting a reply from his brother in New York.
