It was stated in these columns several daysago thata deal had been completed by which the entire control of the Man- awa motor line passed into the hands of Colonel Reed. The formal tranfer took place yesterday, Mr. J. Day, the president, and the old board of directors resigning, Colonel F. €. Reed was elected president, and W. I, Sapp, jr., sceretary. The new board of directors is composed of Colonel Reed, W. I\ Sapp, i’r C. R Hannan and’ George Metealf, As was previously stated, in consider- ation of this transfer Colonel Reed gave a 5,000 bond to the old board of direc- tors that he would put on four new closed cars and one new motor, and would operate the line the year round, making at least six round teips per day and as many mora as he thought travel warranted.” This will thoroughly equip the line, and the service guarantced can not but prove satisfactory.

The Avoca court convenes Tuesday with Judge Macy on the bench, Sev- eral of the local attorneys have cases to be tried there, and will be away from home the greater part of the week. Colonel Dailey will argue the question of the jurisdiction of the court in the east end of the county to try Burmais- ter for seduction, he defendant was indicted by the grand jury of the eas- tern end of the county, and Colonel Daily maintains that the indictment is illegal, s the law provides for but one grand jury in a couuty, which should et at the county seat. The colonel insists that Pottawattamie is two coun- ties, or the Avoca grand jury cannot legally indict. He argued the question of jurisdiction in the case of the State vs Byrd, which was tried before Judge Carson, and the case was held for trial here. The question is onc of consider- able interest, and there are several fine points of law inyolved. Have our wagon call for your soiled clothes.

Fula s Sy Young Burke's Accounts, The investigation of the accounts of Deputy Clerk Burke is progressing rap- idly, and last evening all books had been checked through with the excep- tion of the license stubs, The shortage thus far is about $2,200, and it will not exceed $2,600 at the close. The license stub book from April, 1887, to April, 1888, 15 said to be missing, but no par- ticular importance has been attached to its disappearance by any of the in- vestigating committee. It is freely charged that an attempt is being made to malke political capital out of the af- fair. The finance committee 15 freely censured for its gross neglect in not checking up the books monthly, as should have been done. A stricter and more searching investigation of all mat- ters connected with the case will be made after the present examination of the books is completed. The examina- tion thus far has been all on the part of the city. Burke and his friends are yet to check up, and they may explain a large portion of the alleged shortage. ——— J. G.

It rendered liable anyone advertis ing a lottery or the prizes won, and wound up with a list of offenses, commy under the head of nuisances, For fifty minutes Clerk Southard enter- tained the committee by ling over the crimes and offenses that ave, may or have ominitted in the city, as defined in the sixty-sixth section of the ordinances, to- gether with the penalties nd then ou motion the el instructed to port back to the couucil in favor of its The ordinance to prohibi erection of poles by any str com- pany along the streets of Omaha was next taken up, and on motion it was ordered that the committee recommend its passage.

Counci committee rise and report, Councilman Burnham obj After a five minutes’ recess, Chairman Lee calied the council to order, and the misdemeanor ordinance was killed by a vote of 7 to 6. The ordinance regulating the erection of poles for the use of clectric street cars was move fortunate, and became a law by a vote of 12 to 1. One or two grading ordinances were then read a first xmlfl second time, and referred to committee, and Councilman Burnham sub- mitted the following resolutions That the committee on public buildings and property, the mayor conc ig, be and they are hereby authorized and empowéred and directed to take immediate steps to pro- cure by adv r otherwise comyp; tition plans fo hall building to erected on lots , block 116, Omaha, to be construeted of stone, brick and won, to be as nearly fireproof v8 possible, and to cost when completed not to exceed 000, Said building to furnish and provide accommoda- tion for all city officials and departments e cept city jail and police court, and employes connected thereunto, and also to furnish and provide accommodations and apartments for ard of education and its employes, Said plan to contemplate the remoyal of s0 much of the existing foundation on theabove site as cannot be used with safety. competitition to be restricted to Omaha ar- chitects, the fees or premiums to be allowed for plans to be recommended by said com- mittee and reported to the council for ap- proval.

The council again went into committee of the whole, Councilman Wheeler in the chair. Councilman Counsman moved that Burn- ham's resolution be amended 8o as to read $300,000 instead of §250.000, and adopted, und that the communication of Councilmau Lee be laid on the table. Councilman Burnham objected to the aménament, and l'xrlnmml that he had only introduced the resolution in order to get the matter started as soon as possible. 1t would be well to leave the amount as it was— $250,000—and at any tine it could be increased if the council saw ft, Councilman Leg explained that the com- munication he submitted was ouly for the purpose of aiding the committee to which tho matter was referred, Councilman Kaspar thought the $300,000 might as well be inserted in Burnham's resolution now, and on & vote being taken it was done. “The resolution as amended was then adopt- ed, and together with the communication of Councilinan Lee, referred to the committee on public works and buildings with instruc- tion to report at the earliest possible time, Councilman Lowrey then moved that the presiaent of the council be empowerad to add four members of the council “including the resident, to the comwmittee i order to aid in ringing the matter to a speedy issue, Councilmen Counsman, Lee and Burnham objected on the grounds that it would be a slight to the members of that committee, and also that a large committee would be more of & hindrance than an aid to the speedy com- pletion of the work in hand, The motion was withdrawn, The committee rose and reported, aud one or two grading ordinances were read a first and second time. A communication from the inspector of plumbing, relative to the and regulate the Iman Kaspar then moved that the Which it did, ecting ally considered as leak in the water main on street, was referred to the committee, the street mmissioner and spector instructed to make certain re pairs The comptrolier asked the different city of ficials to prepare a list of the office supplics essary lor the balance of the year, which as ordered done, and after ‘passing the ordinance relating to the erecting of motor and sidewalk in poles, and another defining the duties of the sewer inspector, the council adjourned, ONE WEEK'S BUSINESS, A Very Encoucaging Showing For the Season, The realty market continues to improve, though no particularly heavy single trans actions have been recorded.

We have been building a railroad on paper from Omaha to the northwest for the last five vears. We have also seen on paper a gor- keons new union depot, and throngh lines of railrond from Chicago running dir into out city, but, thus far, no single eastern line runs dwectly nto’ Omata !

He is Now in Prime Condition-~How McAuliffe Works., The date of the Myer-MeAuliffe mill is not given out, but the knowing ones aver that it will not be far off, says a Springfield (I11.) special. So faras ¢on- dition goes, Billy Myer is ready to fight to-day, and has been at any time for a week. He is now a hall pound under weight, and keeps working day by day at such arate as to maintain his condition. His trainer, Mr. Lees, re- ports him as being an excellent subject to train. Instead of being stimulated to work he has rather to be restrained. He seems to like his work and to be safer for it. When Mr. Lees first took charge of Myer he had rather overworked him- self in his zeal and become stale. But now, under systematie tutelage, he has arrived at the pink of condition and is ready to fight at his best. His daily programme is asfollows: He gets up in the morning at 6 o'clock, takes a glass of egg and sherry, works the one-pound dumb-bells for twent minutes takes a mile and a half w ]{'. gets a rub- down, and has his breakfast at about 8§ o'clock, After breakfast he rests an hour, then runs or walks ten miles in the open country, accompanied by his trainer, comes back and punches the ball for an hour; then gets rubbed down, takes a good bath nd has his dinner. He ihen rests until 8:30, some- times taking o nap. He works the dumb bells and pounds the ball for an hourand a hall, gets a thorough rub- bing down, and then eats suppe i work continues after supper, wl valks three and a half mil asional sprint for a pipe opener, ¢ pes 1o bed about 9 o’clock. He is al- lowed to eat almost anything inthe way of solid, substantinl food that suits is palate, but all fat is carcfully es- Billy is not troubled with in- somnia. On the contrary, as his trainer xpresses it, “*he sleeps like a top whether napping in the afternoon or in bed for th night. Billy says that training for a fighu is the hardest work he ever did in his life, though he has put in many a hard day’s work at th carpenter’s bench, Nevertheless he goes at it with a vim, How McAuliffe Works. The sharp weather has in no wise in- terfered with Jack MeAuliffe’ i ing at Beloit, but ho has made miles, vun in one of the halls instes out doors.
