Some WOLVES IN SHEEPS' CLOTHING, He Charges Members of His Flock With Increasing Their Revenues Ina Way That Shocks Com- mon Decency. 1020 P StREET, LiNcoLN, March 4 At the close of the service at Grace M. E. phurch last night occurred one of the most disgracoful scenea over witnessed in the pity. Rev. Davis, editor of the Nebraska Methodist, preached tho sermon of the even- ing, and at its conclusion Rev. Minehart took the pulpit and commeuced an harangue, mildly stating in the beginning of his re- marks that it was allowable in the Methodist church for the pastor to exhort at the close of preaching service, and he proposed to ex- hort uwhile. For more than an hour he fn- dulged in a tirade of invective against cer- tain members of his flock, well nigh, if not qQuite, exhausting his well stored vocabulary. He charged that some of the members of nis church preferrad to rent houses to prost- tutes rather than to decent people, providing thoy could get & dollar or two a month more for them. He talked politics——pro- ibitlon—arraigned his people t for voting icenso tickets, accused some Of them of pelling mortguged lots under pretense that they were free from incumbrance, He $umped {rom one subject to another, and told ho story of the trouble in the church * from beginning to end. He was interrupted froquently. In the midst of one of kis irades, when he reached a sublime height ‘))’ claiming, “*Why don’t you prefer agninst such ‘men if you want to Qiscipline anybody!” a d brother re- buked him by saying, ‘““I'hat's your business, why don't you do it?' and the exhorter re- torted by saying, I have the floor now, an: Lixcor.x Buneav or THE OMAHA Bie, } Twon't bo interrupted.” Sharply it eame Dack to him, nat’s what's the matter with the church. You have held the floor too long.” Hedidm broke opse. Tho audience. cheered and clapped ‘umh&, For once, at least, Minehurt evi- dently found out that he did not have things his owil way. . Dr. Creighton indicated at the morning service that he did not approve the course of the pastor in all thing: iy Itev. Davis expostulated with tim during his tivade, and was told i @ polite way w mind his own business. ) The scandsl, just closed at St. Paul's, was uncartiied and dissected, and just such an- other time has never been known in church cird n 8 city. « Minchart, it is said by some, is crazy. His action last night is caus- g his fricnds to desert him by the scorc. But investigation s just at hand. While formal charges have not been preferred against him, it is understood that they will be handed i to-day or to-morrow, sod that his bearing and utterances of last night will be incorporated into them, Mine- nart stated that be would be ready for the fray in two scconds aiter the chargos were formally mado, tonding o diswiss him, T Want 1o two weeks,” he exclaimed; "1 am hero Lo stay until a legal authority says 1 fl:’l go.

Itisa fong time since so_strongly a contested case has been tried in Lancaster county. The equity side of the court seems to have bulged out through the sides or dropped through the bottom.

Van Gilder is the title for an action for damages commenced in the dis- trict court of Lancaster county this morning, This case i8 the outerowth of an action be- tween the same parties to recover possession of some realty, tho title of which rested in Elizabeth Stewart, but which was traded and sold for proparty in'Omaha, the title of Which was maae to Rosa A. Van Gilder, and thus left the principal plaintiff without equit- able interest in any of the property in can- troversy and without consideration. This situation it seems, from the papers filed in the case, was brought about by the sharp deals on the part of Willlam C. Van _Gilder, who was the acting agent for Mrs. Stewart in tho disposition of Mrs. Stewurt's prop. erty, He first traded Lincoln |n'o|\ert{ be- longing to her for an interest in @ farm out from the city a few miles, vesting in the htigants, in the order the title of the case. After a time Van Gilder saw a chance for a deal in Oniaha property, and secured the transfer of all the interests in the farm, to secure the property in question, but in turn had the full title vested in his wife. Suit was first brought to rec possession of the original property in this vity and now comes the case as stated alleging damages in the sum of §7,081, for which the petitioner prays, and for costs of suit. the titie as stated in New Notaries Public.

DUST AND FILTH. ‘Why They Cannot be Removed from the Streets of Omaha. The streets of Omaha are dirty—very dirty just now and every puft of wind sends the filthy dirt flying into the faces of the pedes- trians upon the streets, excent where the wind has no influence upon the reeking filth which lines the gutters and cov- ers the surface of the streets. It rests with the chairman of the board of public works to set the time in the spring when street cleaning shall be commenced. Mr. Balcombe, however, asserts that it is not feasible to clean the streets at this time as the cleaning requires sprinkling, and, while the temperature is moderate enough during the day, after mightfall, the water sprinkled on the streets would freeze and claning would be impossible. List year the street cleaning commenced in February, and $1,700 was expended on the wo but the board claims that, at that time, the work was absolutoly necessary owing to the snow and slush, whereas the stroots this Mr, Balcombe thinks, are comparatively an., There’seems to be some misunderstanding as to whose duty it is to see that alleys are kept clean, The chiof of police savs it 1s the business of the board of public works, and the members of the boarl says the duty de- volves upon the police. The fact pomains, however, that the filthy conaition of the all has been a disgrace to the city. While the streets have been swept weekly, the alleys have been aliowed to be. come and remain as dirty as they ever were before they were vaved. Against this con- dition there will be, this year, a cru- sade and before long it will be ascertained who is responsible for this state of affairs. e For nearly a third of a century those delicious, pure and economic prepara- tions, Van Duzer’s Flavoring Bxtracts, have led the vanguard in ‘mnulnril.\' of articles of their cluss, nor has dispurag- ing competition been uble to shake for a single day the faith reposed in them by the Amevican people. The bottles of these extracts contain surplus meas- ure, a point of superiority over rivals, and the process by which they are pre- pared prevents & contamination with any deleterious substance S A HORSE FOR $1. And Extremely Dear Even at That Price. There was trouble at Pete Turkleson’s sa- loon on Sixteenth street Sunday afternoon, and it was all over a rafite. The prize was a horse, and when the winner saw it he came vack and offered to sell it for §1. The pur- chaser then inspected it and managed to dis- pose of it to Henry Thisser for 50 cents, bo- fore the latter saw it. Then Henry looked, and was willing to sell it or sfl;e it away, and while endeavoring to do so became involyed in @ quarrel with a man that would not take itus a gift. They both were arrested, and vestoerday morning were fined #5 and costs. In the meantine Garbagemastor Goldsmith was compelled to shoot the horse, which was in the last stages of consumption, and just as Henry was leaving the police court )l\;; Goldsmith presented the bill for funcral expenses. That was also paid, after registering one gheat swear-off ugai raffies for horees, Heury left the room just #1550 out. e e Coming Attraction, A piano conversation was given by Miss Amy Fay, at Max Meyer's music hall, last evening. e programe contained rine num- bers from such authors as Beéthoven, Gott- schalk, Reubenstein, Wagner, Chopin and others of like fame.

Contractors Fight on One and Myers on the Other Side. THE CONTRACTORS HEARD FROM. Mr. Moyers Has Made No Response— Work Suspended On the Build- ing and Mr. Ross Acting Superintendent. Shane and the Contractors. The contractors for the erection of the county hospital write to the Bgk as follows: Will you kindly allow us space in your col- umns to reply to some of the statements made by the whilom superintendent of the county hospital, 1n his communication to the county commissioners relative to Meyers and the public building. In all the contro versy had on this matter by the newspapers, we have singularly managed to kcep free, and would not mow appear in print but to correct the false impression possibly created in the minds of the public, by reading the impotent vaporings of an angry man's imag- ination. We had intended to take no part in the right between the architect and superin- tendent, preferring to let them settle their differcuces between themselves; but, since our name has been connected with an im- puted scandal relative to the county hospi- tal, we think that the time has arrived when we are to take a part, and a very active part in settling the squabble that exists between an acknowledged leader in his profession of architects, and en incompetent superintend- ent in reference to his bemng offered §1,000 for anything that he could or might do for us, is obsolutely untrue. We court and ad- vise the fullest, strictest and 1wost fearless investigation by not only thoso who are the most interested, but by the public at large. At that investigation, we will clearly prove Shane a sneak and a 'liar, whose onl{ de sire and apparent ambition is w breed disscusion and foment quarrels amongst those with whom he is brought (n contact in business, We will also clearly demon- strate to whoever may feel interested, the utter impracticability and incapability of D. L. Shane to performthe dutics of the posi- n to which he was appointed, and for ich he received 100 per month. We will show, further, that had it not been for the intercession of fricads he would have been removed from the superintendency of con- struction of the county court house for the same reason, incapability, We will show that the report of the committee of experts referred to in his comynunication was not in vindication of Shanes Ability, as he wos only nominally the superiatendent, and his time on the work averaged, not more than one hour per week but, rather, a vindication of the superintendent {n’ fact, who was called assistant, but has been on the work con- stantly from 7a. m, to 5 p. m, every day from the beginnig until now. He is the man that gave Shabe whatever knowledge he possesses about the construction of the county hospital. We will also show that, from the time Shane accepted the position he has sought to decoy besmirch the ability of a man whose reputation in his profession tional, beside waom Shane is “an inw niticant pigmy, and not to be considered; and, lastly, we will show that he not omly Coniiived With the iron men, but that he ad: visod the expenditure of & sum of money on lhw-fl of the county to the amount of $18,000 for extra irou on the roof claiming that from the information he got from the said iron men—not from his practi- cal knowledge—the original design woula not sustain its own welght, and this, in the fac® of the fact that the archbitect insisted the roof was strong enough and must be put up a8 designed, Events have proven Meyors was right, and Shane either a designing knave or a4 miscrable incompetent. Why does he not ley us know avbhat was the con- sideration for his advocacy of that steal, for the benefit of the iron weu! If, as he says, that this offer of §1,000 was made last July, why, if ho is an_honest man, did be not, 1a Lis rignteous ladignation, aud for the inter- est of Douglas county, make it pub and not wait until discharged for ir tency before kicking buck? Oh, what an in- tensely honest man he is! How tho 10ss of asinecure affects some people’s mind. In conclusion, wo emphatically ' dony | that we ever paid a cent to any one connected with the county hospital, nearor remote, for any influence that could be used in obtaining extra work for us. then, mpo- Waiting for Myers. The resignation of Superintendent Shane of the county hosmtal building will not be acted upon until the commissioners hear from Architect Myers. They are now wait- ing for a statement that he agreed to prepare and forward immediately after returning home. In the meantime, work has been su pended on the building and Assistant Supe intendent Ross is in charge. Catarrh Cured. A clergyman, aftor years of suffering from thai loathsome disease, Catarch, and vainly trying avery known remedy. at last found a recipe which completely cured and saved him from death. Any sufferer from this dreadful disease send- ing a self-nddressed stamped envelope to Prof. 3. A, Lawrence, 88 Warren St., New York City, will receive tho recipe free of charge. ——— OMAHA'S ROGRESS, What a Leading Real Estate Man Says About It W. K. Kurtz, general manager of the Patrick Land company, says the roal estate outlook for the coming season is excellent, and predicts a large realty business for Omaha. Everything seems to bo getting better shape, and the trade certainly feels very sanguine of brisk times, though we want no great boom, but a strong, healthy growth, which I think we will surely have. “Qur city is quite large enough and full enough of activity to satisfy strangers com- ing here to locate, Omanais a good place both to hive in and to make money. Of course, we have some kickers and chronic growlers who want to abuse every new entorpriso, but I think we are fast getting away from the influence of such @ class, and moving right ahead, and that very rapidly indeed, “Wo all know that better railroad facilities areneeded for the northwest and I think with the co-operation of the board of trade, the prominent clubs, and the real estato men, the desired roads will soon be built. “Our company is doing all that is possible to make one attractive feature for this grow- ing metropolis, that is & locality of elegant homes, and we are developing Dundee place in that direction as rapidly as can be hulm. I think that most citizens will agree with we that our efforts the past six or eight months have been the means of helping largely to develop the western part of the city and induced & large number to build permanent homes, “The western part is really a very good residence locality, The ground is high ard away fronithe necessary smoke and odor of down-town. “As 1o street rallways, I will s that more are needed, but, as you know, Omaha like many western cities is greatly scattored and requires tune, Kverything oan’t be done at once, Our road will be built and 1n oper: tion by the early fall, and if no other road should parallel with ours that far west we will then have & good paying business from the start. Coming Enterprises. The indications are that a large number of new manufacturing establishments will be added to the industries of the city this spriog. George Quigiey, of Missour, is nere, ne- #otiating with certain capitalists to build and operate an establishment for the manufacture of paper walls and portablé” houses. Mr. Quigley is the inventor of the scheme of manufacture and now hasa large factory in operation near Kausas City. Owiug to the lack of suitable straw for the manufacture of the puper, and for other reasons, he desires L0 move the os- tablishment to more deswrable lovation, and i very favorably impressed with Omaha: 1t'is lils desive, however, Lo brauch out upon a larger scale than he is engaged in at prosent, and for this renson he desires to have additional capital associated with him. Negotiations that have been pending be- twoen Mr. Quigiey and somo Omaha gentle- men will undoubtedly lead to the establish- ment of the industry here, and if that 1s tho case an establishment 10 cost £100,000 will be put in, and_from one to five hundred men will be given omployment. A syrup making and refining factory will be built by Farrel & Co., at the corner of Parnam and Eighth streets, Half of the building will be of brick, seven stories high and the other half four and a half stories high and 65x00 feet in lensth and breaath. "The building to to be ready for use by the first of July, Seventy-five men will ve given employment, Murphy & Wasey of Detroit, will begin the erection of a $50,000 chair and mattress factory at Druids hill as soon as the weather will permit. - This is one of the largost chair manufacturing companies in tho west and thoy conduct business upon a large scale employing scores of men at each of ir factories, wo mammoth warchouses will be erected by George N. Trautman, of Philadelphia, on I";‘x\\'un\\‘urlh street between Eighth and inth, Rector, Wilhemy & Co., will be build a large warehouse to cost §40,000, on the cor- ner of Tenth and Jackson. George T. Mills will build a magnificont brick store building on Farnam between Thirteenth and Fourteenth. . Gray has just completed a large /ier shop, to be conducted in conneci with his sush, door and blind factory, which now gives employment to 100 men. Fred Ames, of Boston, is getting figures upon two warehouses, each 66x132, which he is to arect at the corner of Twelve and Howard streets, and to cost §120,000. John F. Coots, tne builder, says that the architects are after him to figure on thewr plans. The American Ink and Manufacturing company contemplate locating here apd look- ing for & location. An agent is here consultng M. S. Lindsay with a view to establishing a works in which, 1o bottle California wines, There ars )wninlc on the ground who are desirous of establishing a handle factory. —_— Laborers and ders Strike. About one hundred graders working for Clark & Sowers on a lot at South Eleventh and Willlams, struck yosterday for high- er wages. The laborers had been getting §1 per day and tne teamstors §2, The laborers asked for @ raise 1o $1.50 and the toamsters #. This was refused and the majority quit work. Some trouble was experienced over the drawing of pay,but the employers agreed to pay off all who had quit, at b p. m. MEXICAN Musel very Thus the ' ASSESSED VALUATION. Mr. Linton Finds that of Each Post- office Bite Offered. No estimate can be made as to how much some people would give for a pointer on the postoftice location, but the anxiety in certamn quarters is certainly at a high teusion. Agent Linton has been very mum, Ha heard what every one had to say at the Saturday night meeting but said nothing in in rep), It must be admitted that he teok all pains imaginable to find out everything Ire could about the various locations offered, und before leaving for Washington,this afte: noon, had cowpiled a great. bundje of facts and figures for his own information as also that of the architect’s ofice in Washington, in determining upon a site for the proposed building. Yesterday Gallagher morning, he and Postmaster were at the court house procuring n list of the tax-lovies upon each of the Dblocks for which proposals have been made. The former says that all the money saved in purchasing a site will go into tne building, While there will be no dickering between the governinent and bidder, probably the price asked will,have something to do'with making a seloction. It will be seen that the tax valuation differs very materially from the figures placed by owners upon thei property. For instance, - block 845, put in by John A.
