~ CARPENTERS AND JOINERS. Their S8econd Open Seulan Marked by Profitable Digcussion. LABOR'S TRIUMPHS AND RIGHTS: Organization Threatened by a Bill Now Pending Which Measures Will be Taken at Once to Defeat. An Open Session. The second open meeting of Carpenters and Joinecs' Union, No 5, was held in Gate City hall last night and was largely attended Nearly every labor union of the city was represented and the meeting was bwsiness- like throughout. Before the meeting was formally assembled the presentation of house bill 20, @& bill to prohibit and provide for punishment of combina- tions and conmspiracies in restriction of trade and business was discussed. In the body of the bill the specification of “Jabor organizations” was what aroused the spirit of the laboring men. The bill was in- troduced by White, of Cass county, and hus assed its second reading, and is now in the Jiands of the labor committee of tho house. Those who took particular pains to examine the bill were outspoken i its de- nunciation, and stated that it had been engincered through in an underhand way, and ita promuigators wero evidently endeav: orlnu 10 obtain its passage without giving it prominent place before the public, until {V'Became n iaw, The ropresentatives of tho labor unions last night, who examined the bill,were confident that it was an instrument formulated for the purpose of uprooting all organized labor. A consideration of the bill ‘was deferred until further in the meeting. Shortly after 8 o'clock President Fy called the meeting to order, and W. B. M o ser was chiosen chairman, - After a few briet remarks the chaivman presented J. T Moriarity us the spokesman of the occasion, He said: “Where the spirit of intelligence rovaile amoug the ~poople you' will Bo sure “to " find organized . labor. You see your brother laborer in his editorial chair forming his and your organ- izations; the clergy reaching out, forming organizations; in fact in all branches, tho torms of organized labor are becoming more practicable and more indispensible, It is necessary for the promotion of your peculiar interests. The truth is self evident, aud has roval in the literature’ of the in that immortal moral ‘In union’ there is strength.’ My forganization the laboring classes will be enabled to resist the encroachments of the capitalist upon their rights. Suppose that in the 14 Omuha all the contractors should come to- gether and agree that such wages should be paid for such classes of labor; and suppose here was no organization among_the labor- ing men, and the contractors decided to re- duce the wages 5) per cent, what would pre- vent them from uccomplishing thisi But when organized you can [frustrate it by standing together as a man and refus- ingto work under such restrictions. This is where organized labor asserts its rights, and exacts its rights from an op- pressive cluss, You are not only able to exact your rights, but you are cnabled move ~upgressively and demand that your gricvance be hear During the last quarter of a century the hours of labor have been materially diminished. There are laws on our statutes to-day that have been enacted by the in- fluence of organized iabor. Chief among these laws are the mechanics’ lien laws the exemption law, designed particularly for the laboring man, and in which sixty days’ wages are excmpted from attachment. Now aguin in our free school system it is felt. In _this, the rich are compelied to contribute to " the fund that cducates all regardless of their standing in life. There arc hundreds of loving little boys and girls of the laboring man, that, were 1t not for our free school laws, would not have an opportunity to put their heads inside a schoolhouse door. 1t is ajust law that opens the books of knowledge 10 all alike, Now in your labor bodies you are a school within yourselves. In your organized assemblies you transmit germs of knowledge one to the other. Take away the source of intelligence of our people, and you Tob them of the broadest measurement of a free peopic. ~ Wherever men associate to- gether for the common good, a feeling of sympathy originutes, a mutual benefactor 18 created with you, all working as one indis- solvable body. I believe in that far-reacning adage, “The world is my country, gnd all mankind are my countrymen. “In conclusion let me point out that we,the workingmen, have attained an important stand in_political circles, und that from the ranks of the laboring classes some of the most distinguished jurists have sprung, and at present we are represented at the bar, in the legislature and in the highest office within the gift of sixty millions of free people.” At the conclusion of the address, on motion of Secretary Black, a vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Moriarity, Secretary Black then read an appeal from the grand sccretary of the order, P. J. Me- Guire, of Philadeiphia, in which he awelt .. upon the fact that hod carriers and other " minor labor organizations were command- ing in some instances better wages |/ than the skilled mochanic. | He appealed %0 the brotherly spirit of the workingmen, 1 especially mechanics, to organize and protect themselves against the unscrupulous capital- i ist and contractor. He cited that_unorgal ized or non-union mechanics were being paid .l.:b Yer day, but where organized labor vailed the wages of journeymen carpen- rs yanged from $2.50 to #2.75 per day. He *also cited that up to date 504 local organiza- tions of carpenters were in working order. Jesse Bluke, a member of Carpentcr's +Union 58, next addressed the meeting and re- yiewed the industrial situation as it prescuted itaelf to the mechanic. As to convict labor hesald: “Is it right to put men behind . walls in rumullmcnt of crime and then con- Jvert thelr services 1nto the channels of de- mand, and Supply o demand for honcst “laborl Is it t to do what is being done right here in Omaha! men taken * from our jails and put to work on the strects + of Omuha as couvicts and yet filling the past of honest labor. Is it unreasonable then to suppose thut labor must revolt in the fact of _ thist It is wrong, and I for one now raise . Iy voice against this system und form of lurglylng the local demand.” © speaker then launched out into the general grievances of maukind in which for- . elgn labor was severely chastised. . At this juncture the bill above referred to © was taken up for consideration, being read upon request of the chairman. ~ The the bill provides that violation 4 fine of 00 may be and also one year imprisonment ; of all rights and alty rmn case 0 imposed . also lne relinquishment’ ¢ franchi Secrotary Black arose and sai £o call your attention to section 3 of this bill, I desire ~which refers to foreign corporations. _ foreign corporati uuuo is all & blind, and it i the duty of every working man of 1l to fight this bill w the bitter end, Tuis I8 aimed at us.’ Secretary Black Lhan moved that the dele- of carpenters union 58 to the ce labor union be instructed to use their in- ce to defeat the bill, and that the ropre. unutlve of the central labor union it incoln be informed of the action h.muc«lh stely. The motion prevailed, 0 secretury theu read . report of the fon since first orgunized, showing that in citics wages had beon raised to the proper ¢ standard, which resulted in & vast volume of ; ouo being put in - ecirculation awong the laboring classes. After anuouncing that ‘Luesday, April 16, V% er open meeting will be held, wu ad- rament was uken This LIQUOR Dlsu\lal' 8 PROTEST, They Sce No Justice in the Mayor's Sunday Closing Order. ~ Two hundred representative saloon men mbled at Cunningham’s hall, at the corner of Thirteenth and Jackson streots, last night ‘-thn|mrwn of taking some action which have a tendency to induce Mayor 0 1o revoke his order closing up the “QY saloons. Apparently, the saloon- uean to have the Slocum law en- foroed to the letter if they are required to s d business on the Sabbath day, They laim to have prevogatives that must be re- #8 well s other people who busivess on Sunday. They admit a Slocum law requires them to close ¥ suloons, but if the law is enforced with Bl it must be Witk the barbers, the street railways, the icemen, milkmen and other business that 18 permitted to be transacted. At 8 ovclock William Howiey oalled the meeting to order. F. O'Brien was immediately olocted chairman and Carl Smith, secrotary. Afterannouncing the object of the meeting Mr. O'Brien_made quite an elaborate address to the liquor deal- ers. In all of his travels he had not beer in a more orderly city than Onfaha, The mayor, said he, was not satistied by increas- ing the license'to £1,000 and requiring the saloon men to pay it in advance, but now was denying them the privileze of doing business the best and most profita- ble day in the week. The saloonkeeper was gompolled to pav high rents, and p for everything in which ho dealt. As it was the business was not lucrative, and by being shut off on the best day of trade in the week, a large number of saloonisis could not stand it. Mr. O'Brien stated that now was the time for thorough organi- zation. Tho mayor, whom the saloonkecpers put into the official position he now holds, was awaro of the fact that they were not well organized and was taking advantage of them, “If we are an obstruction to the church on the Sabbath day,” remarked the speaker, very other business is an ovstruction. If we must abandon business on this account, why shouldn’t others, as well as the saloon element, be closed! Broatch is putting the 1ash to us now, when but u few months ago he promised us that he would work to our in- terests, This promise was made when he knew we could put him into the posi- tion he mnow holds. 1 ask of you to-nght, are going to protest against his domineering or going to remain siient? The question is, are we going to open our saloons next Sunday or are we going to close and re- quire every other business to suspend on that day! ~It remains with you to answer. I would like to hear you express yourselves on that point.” The first liquor dealer asked for an opinion was William Darst, & wholesale dealer on Farnam strect. He sald he considered the mayor's Sunday closing order an outrage, but whatever was dcne should be done coolly. Ho was not in fuvor of any oxcite: ment or hastiness. He thought a more could be accompl hod were done with careful % Whatever that g did he wouid stay with, (loos stated that he would open his place of business if all others did. He wanted a committee appointed to interview the mayor and believed that the order would be rescinded. “The mayor has the power,” said Judge Brandes when called upon to express his views, “the luw is on his side, and we should respect it. If we could secire n committeo of respectable men, irrespective of the saloon element, such men as Paxton, Max Meyer, and_others, to go to the mayor, I think he would let up, when they shiowed him_ the bad results of Sunday closin Geo ge Cramer said if the \undny law was good for one it was gool for the other, and if the law held good for one business it did for the other, Accordingly he favored the closing of all business, such as the livery, barbers, street railways, newspapers and the lke. He know that the mayor was a drinking man; that while he could have it at his home the laborer was obliged to drink water. He did not want_other men to bo deprived of their liberty. He alluded to the mayor as king of Omaha. The mayor had heaped persecutions on the saloonkeepers eversince his election. am one of the few who did not support yor Broatch,” stated Sol Prince of the \desorhoml ‘at the last election, I knew him of old and was aware that his promises would not be kept. He knows that he can’t get the friendship of the saloon men for his coming aspirations, and now he is trying to whip them into it. If we would go to him m o body and tell him he won't wet our support unless he rescinds the order, he will do it, 1 believe,. We are sufliciently strong to go_to him_ourselves, without asking any representative men in other business to intercede for us. We must take a firm stand and inform him of the ex- isting circumstances that we are battling, and I think something cun be done.” Billy Hawley stated that he was probably the youngest suloonkoulvor in the city. He put in a large stock of liquors and paid out $1,000 expecting to make a livelihood, but if he had to icep his place closed Sundays he could not see where he was going to get his investment back, “I don’t come here as a saloon man,” said Jacob Houck, when asked for an opinion, * have no saloon Iament, but as a citizen I have made a hard fight against prohibition. It is now a question of luw and liverty. By all means abide by the law. What I may say may not please your ears, but throw me out of your hall and will say don’t muke a fight against the honornble mayor. He has the law on his side. It would injure you as well as other business men. Now, you talk of closing up the news- papers, the 'street railway, the liveries, the barbers and all other species of business. Don't do it. Why try to require them to suspend publicationi They and the reporters are the best friends you have. They work for you night and day, but you don't know it. As a friend 1 advise you not to try a general sus- pension of all business. 1t would be a great detriment to everybody concerned. ~ Let the matter drop for a foew weeks and things will come your wa, Fight prohibition and not Broatch and within a few Sundays the cloud will have passed over.” Mr. Houck’s speech was not reccived with much favor. Wnen he concluded a cold chill passed over the audience. Frank Delone believed that a law could not be fought. Other laws could be enforced n{;d he was in favor of shutting up other shops. Shveral others presont expressed them- selves in an emphatic manner, and then the chairman appointed & committee to retire aud draft resolutions, which were as fol- ows : Whereas, 1t has been declared by the executive of the city of Omaha that the Slocum law, so far as it relates to the saloon keepers and liquor dealers, shall in future be enforced fully, and Whereas, Such action will tendency ' tw paralyze & business now far from lucrative and render 1t impossible for us to continue with profit or to meet our obligations with exist- ing rates of license added to the cutting off of revenue necessitated by the closing of saloons on Sunday; therefore, be it Resolved, That a committee of five be ap- pointed by the chairmun of this meeting to call upon Mayor Broatch in regard to the Sunday closing order and explain to Lim the have a position in wnich we have been placed by his order; and be it further Resolved, That we earnestly request his honor to give this committee a full and iw- partial hearing on the premises. and be it further Resolved, that we earnestly request the [ |)cruliou of the business men of Omaha in this effort of the saloonkcepers to cart: on their busine: finally be it Resolved, That 1t is the opinion of the representative liquor dealers here assembled that an unfavorable action on this request would result in a depression not only of the liquor interests but of all busi- ness interests of the city of Omaha by carrying trafc, which legitimately be- longs here, to other Gities, In consideration of this, we request the business men and the members of the city council individually t0 exert every effort iu our behalf, Par Desyo WiLL 1 Dansr, ou a reasonable basis.

THE OM'AHA ‘DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20. 1880 AN OFFICER 8 STABBED. The Deed Dono by a nnpmed Buarg- lar Who Gets Paid For It Police OMoer Marnell was quite quite ser- iously stabbed at 1 o'clock this morning while attempting to arrest a fellow named George Conine near Twenty-sixth and Clark stroets, The policeman claims that Conine was trying to break into a hoyse and he took him into custody. While walking along the street with his prisoner the fellow plunged the blade of a jack knife into him in 1wo different pinces. On the muscle of the left arm is a horrible gash, and a _painful wound was_also inflicted under his left shoulder. The officer did not permit Conine to escape, but gave him a_severe clubbing, bruising his head and face in a horrible manner, Both were brought to the police station, covered with blood. The city physician was summoned to dress their wounds, Just before OMcer Marnell made the ar- rest Conine and another fellow escaped from Policeman Kelly, who had tried to take them into custody on Cuming street. RETURNED TO THE MANSE, The Loveladys Again in the Oottage On the Hill. One week ago Tie Bee published an ac- countof the mysterious disappearance of the Lovelady family, who had deserted their home for four months, and now it gives chapter second of the story. The same re- porter went over the same ground yester- day, and found Ames avenue still straggling westward about one thousand seven hun- dred and sixty yards or so south of Fort Omaha. 1t climbed the same ungraded hills that it did a week previous, but it didn't seem to be quite 8o badly lost among the weoeds that overshadowed it. Some of them were cut down and the others were not more than six or eight feet high. The dust that blinded him then had turned to mud, and rendered more difficult the ascent to the de- serted cottage. The trees were still there, but their branches seemed @ ! with ighter AV - e man who said they had covered a mystery. Somehow, things had changed all around. The cottage was still there but no longer deserted. Such panes of glass as had not been broken in the windows, were shining brightly,;and the open doors seemed to bid a stranger welcome. A sunburned, bewhiskered man was carry- ing a tiny babe in his arms in front of the house, and, as the reporter approached. while his back was turned, he saw a woman busily engaged in scrubbing the floor. Then the man turned around so suddenly that all the reporter could say was was **And this is the baby?"” as he tickled the cherub under the chin, ‘‘Yes” said the man as he smiled and the baby tried to imitate him. **And Jyou are Mr, Loveladyj” *Yes, " “*And this is Mrs. Lflvehlllyi bowed and said '‘Yes sir.’ Then the reporter told his errand, how he wanted to learn why they were away so Jong without letting their friends know where they had gone, and wby they left their household effects uncared for so long. They told him. Their friends in the neigh- borhood were few, but sach as they had were informed of the intended departure, though not of its exact date. “I thought it would e a hard winter,” said Mr. Lovelady, “‘and I would go down to my wife's brother and earn a few doliars, but we did not mean to stay away so long. Then the baby got sick and I got sick, and then her brother got sick.” ‘@ut why did you go away without your things?” Well 1 did not want to wear them on the road,” smd.l\lrs Lovelady, “‘and I took all the buby necded. I thought to be at home in a few days, but when the baby took sick I'd rather lose them than let him die as he might have done if I tried to come back.” “This thing has made me heartsick,” said Mr. Lovelady,” ‘‘because when Ileft I didn’t owe any man a dollar, and now I'm afraid I can’t get work. I worked every day 1 had a chance last summer and when there was nothing to be done outside I tried to make the best I could out of the garden. I sold what squashes and other - things I raised to lxln!(n\’?nc) enough to go away on just before eft. Then they gave a ‘complete denial to the stories that were afloat. Mrs, Lovelady said that the quarrels they had were the same as in other families, that her husband had never 1ll-used her and that she had gone away for a short time which was unavoidably prolonged. “I felt dreadful bad when J heard the stories they were telling,” said Mr. Love ady. “Ihaven't much, but whatever I get Iget by hard knocks. We're poor, but I don’t suppose I could get a day’s work now.” The reporter assured him "he could, and advised him to call at the postofiice, as some one learning his history, might drop a note to the general delivery. He said he would. “Some one said we weren’t married,” he continued and produced a hand satchel from which he took a marriage license signed by E. B. L. Euder, of the M. E. church, and Qdated the 18th of September, 1857, Yes, and they stole my wedding dress while we were gone,” said Mrs. Lovelady, “It was lile this with heavy pearl buttons and a raised steel leaf,” and she handed out ascrap of brown silk, with stripes. ““What else did thuy steal?” *Oh, I hardly know yet, but there is a table cloth, some chairs, some 'new night dresses and other things gone.” ’l‘he reporwr took notes of them and pre- 0. As he did Mr. Lovelady said: “Toll all in Omaha that if they want to see what a bad man Lovelady is come out and see him, D'l like to show them around, and show them what I am trymg to do. I didn’t mean to stay away 8o long, but as soon as one sick one gob up, another went down. I'd have written long ago, but I thought each day that I would get away the next.” And so ends the mystery of the house. Announcements.

MerReT, Neb., March 18.—To the Editor of Tue Ber: Looking on the map of Nebraska, a pergon’ will notice that while nearly every other portion of our state is supplied with railronds, that portion lying in a northwest direc- tion from Columbus to the northern boundary of the state is deficient in that respect. There is a strip of coun- try lying north and south of the Elk- horn Valley railrond, after leaving Ne- ligh, varying in width from 100 to 125 miles and 150 miles in length, includ- ing the counties of Wheeler, Platte, Holt, Brown and Keya Paha, which is without any direct connection with Omaha, and the products of a large tract of country have to be hauled to the Elkhorn Valley railvroad, across rivers and under unfavorable circum- stances for shipment by an indirect route to Omaha, or by discrimination are forced to be sent to Chicago for a market, A great portion of is a stock countr; of car loads and hogs are annually driven to the railroad for shipment which ought to be loaded on the car at the producer’s door. Vast uantities of rye and corn are also pro- duced, for which there is no home mar- ket, and which will not pay to haul to tha railroad. There is a chance for cupn,ulnts who will take hold of the matter and push a railroad through here to make money, and at the same time benefit thousauds of settlers who have all their interests bound up in this country. Such a line, if projected and built to the state line on the north, could have, on the opening of the Sioux rcser\'ntmn a route to the Black Hills, and place Omaha on a footing of compe- tition with Chicago. Pecuniary con- siderations, if nothing more, ought to prompt a movement of this Kkind speed- ily, and I assure you it would meet with the hearty support of the people of this northwest portion of our great state.

P. Black as vostmaster for Pender. The appoint- ment was doubtless satifactory to Mr. Black, but to no one else, and seems to have been brought about by the influ- ence of officious ontsiders. .I have in- terviewed many leading ‘republicans in regard to the matter and find the ap- pointment unqualifiedly - unsatisfactor, Not that there is any partieular antag- onism against Mr. Black, but he is re- garded as being undeser \'mn’ and not in the least identified with the business interests and progress of Pender. Mr. Black is appointed to supercede an old gentleman who carried u ihusket four years in the service of his count whose entire interests. social and-finan- cial, are here, and who_is an esteemed citizen and 1nterested in the progress of Pender since our town was first or- ganized. ‘Werepeat,the appointment is very un- satisfactory.

Tobe ‘‘chic”in conversation is ,accord- ing to a writer i, Table Talk an at- tribute much admired in either man or woman of society. A generous sprink- ling of slang is permitted to enliven the smail talk of the hour, and a new phrase that is_suggestive is welcomed with positive delight. The latest that falls on the ear with somewhat odd effect is ‘‘All in the soup.” The ex- pression is an elongated form of the hitherto popular “left.” The un- successful suitor, the defeated candidate, the “‘exploded” financial venture, the overturned market basket; in short, mishaps and hlall.pollltln(!n!,no[ all kinds are described as “All in the soup.” The prase, which is claimed to be novel, savors strongly of the old-fashioned “bickle,” into which the good dames and sires of long ago, used to be thrown, descriptively, in cases of dis- comfiture, or the *'stéws” by which they oxpresscd their hov. moments of anxiety.

The Council Bluffs Hunting and Fish- ing club beld a business mecting at Mayor Rohrer’s office last evening, and transactea considerable routine bu ness. The improvements at Lake Man- awa were discussed in a general way, but no definite step was taken in con- nection with the matter. The friends of James Connors, who was 80 suverely beaten at an early hour Sunday morning, by a gang of Omaha toughs, deny that Lhev will try to have the charge against the assailants dimin- ished, but on the other hand, they will prosecute the case as vigorously as pos- sible. They are already at work secur- ing evidence against the fellows, two of whom have served terms in jail. The trial comes off on the 30th of this month. Mr: A. A. Egbert hasresigned his po- sition as superintendent of “the electric motor line, und will be succeeded by Mr. C. H. Reynolds. The latter gentle- man has held the position of private secretary to the superintendent of the Chicago & Northwestern railway com- puoy at Booue, and arrived in tho city vom that place yesterds Reynolds was yesterda; works of the road and and car houses. Anderson, the rebellious vag who has sported a badl and chain on the streets for the pust two days, repented of his evil ways as the gang started out yes- terday afternoon and agreed to work if the shackles were removed. The mar- shal comvlied with the request to take off the irons, and Anderson picked upa shovel and started off with the brigade. As soon as they reached the city build- ing he dropped the shovel and “started down the alleyon a keen run. He quickly disappeared and has not been seen since. The authorities are only 100 glad 10 be rid of him, and hope that he will never show up here again. ——— ng the ted the power The Burke ‘Tract Going Fast.

A VERY FEES.IBLE PROHIBITION, The Marshal Wants His Share of the License—After an Atlantic Hus- band—Police Pointers—Too Lively a Py The City Parks. The park commissioners have com- menced work in earnest, and the work already laid out by them to be per- formed during the present season is truly immense. They visited Omaha yesterday afternoon, according to ap- pointment, and met the directors of the Electrie Motor company for the purpose of conferring with them regarding the extension of the motor line up Madison street and Graham avenue, past Fair- mount park to the southeastern part of the city; thence west to South Main street to the southern terminus of the street car track, over which it is pro- posed to continue back to the Broadway line at the corner of Broadway and Pearl streets. Said Commissioner Gra- ham, in speaking of the matter: “We are not asking any too much, and I think the company will extend its line as we request, after it is shown them that it will surely prove to be a paying investment. Such a move would open P all that part of the city more effectu- ally than it could be done in uny othe way, and the motor cars would carr thousands of visitors to the park ever year. 'né gront trouble hag been that we never have had proper street car 1acii- ities. The company has complained of lack of patronage, but it has been simply because the street cars were run as buss lines—just to the depots, and not to the residence portions of the city. If they had nrnnchcA out and taken in the side streets they would have re- ceived the patronage of the residents on those streets. Now the electric mo- tor company already proposes to ex- tend its system over the Main street line, which is already built, so they will not find the extension we ask for so expensive as Lheg’ otherwiss would. There are many thousands of Omaha people who would visit Fairmount park if the motor line passed there, and there are also thousands of our own cit- zens who would go there ten times as often as they now do, 1f they did not have to climb the bluff on foot. This extension of the line would prove a grand thing for the city and a vaying investment for the company. The par! has been put 1n splendid con- dition and it wiil be greatly en- joyed by our citizens this summer. 'l'he water supply is now perfect, and the fountains and lake will work splen- didly. Speaking of fountains makes me think about Bayliss park. We want to put a handsome fountain in the cen- ter of Bayliss this_spring, and we are going to do it. We want the property owners living around that square to do something toward it, and some of them have'expressed a willingness to do so. ‘We shall start out in a day or so to sce them all, and ask each for $100 towayrd the amount. The effect of a fine foun- tain in the center of the park would be grand, and it will not cost us a_cent for water to keep it running. It would greatly increase the attractiveness of the park, which would then be one of the finest little spots of its kind in this part of the coun — - A Rare Chance. I have for sale nearly 100 choice lots between Council Bluffs and Omaha which, in order to close out, I will offer for u short time at from 8200 to 300 each and on the follawing terms: $10 down and $5 per month.

Hinmel, a couple of bibulous Omahans, started out in Franey’s moving wagon yesterday afteraoon to have some fun, and they had it. They loaded up internally with certain delectable fluids that are dispensed on week days in numerous places in the Nebraska metropolis, and started their horses on a run to carry the good news to prohibition lowa. They were in too much of a hurry to stop on the bridge to pay toll, and dnsl\ul across the structure at break- speed, continuing their mad ca- e up Broadway whooping like Co- manche Indians. As has been stated, they had their fun, and plenty of it, but it could not last, and it was not lnxu.: be- fore Officer Fowler gathered them in with open arms. They were carefully stowed away, and the team put up at Dohany’s h\'erv stable, - Bartlett & Norton for stoves and cutlery. 737 and 2 hardware, 2315 B'way. S Dr. C. C.

He failed to find with Oficer Thomas, who kept his oye \ n for the fellow and finally baggod 10 on Upper Brondway about 4 o'clock. Thoro ig quite a history connected with the case, and there is considerable in it besides the simple charge of larceny. Tripton, who has a wife and two ch dren, conceived tho idea some time ago that he wantod to get rid of his wife, and preferred a charge of insanity against her before the board of insane commissioners. They investigated the case, found that the charge was ground= less, and dismissed the woman. Trip- ton then proceeded to sell all of his property, with the avowed intention of fmlnf( west. Sunday morning he took his two children and told his wife that he was going to Sunday school, Since that time she has not seen him. He took the train, and was soon on Nee braska soil. He left the children at o Home for the Friendless, and then came back to this city, wh he had made arrangements for a friend to meet him with his team. He had fitted up a wagon in emigrant style and that was to get here at noon. Officer Thomas spotted the outfit as soon as it struck the city, and ok charge of it, informing the driver that he must point out pton when he saw him. The result was that Tripton: was apprehended and arrested as above stated. The crime for which he is held is the larceny of a watch belonging to his wife, which he took when. he left home. He will be taken back on this charge, and his wife will then institute proceedings to rbcover some of the property. Tripton had $280in his pocket when arrested. He objected to goin, into the hole with the common herd, but he got there just the same. The sheriff is expected here this morning to take him back to Atlantic. - Th(\ Fees in l)hpllh‘. As has been known for some time, the views of the mayor and city marshal do not exactly coincide on all questions. ¢« Chiof among the wv‘ caaf uwugruelncfl is that of the collection of saleoh fines/ The marshal has insisted that the m had no authority to impose the fines, and has refused to collect them. The mayor vowed that the cash should come into the treasury, and ordered the po- lice to rake in the shekels of the budge dispensers. This worked nicely, and the saloonists were compellod to ante $25 a‘month each. The marshal no¥ stops in and says that the police are not executive offl- cers and had no business to collect the fines, and demands his fees of $2.10 on each fine collected. The mayor refuses to pay it, and says the money belongs ta tho city, as the police acted " as colle ors and the marshalis not entitled to fees on work that he did not do. The amount in dispute is $128, and the city clerk was instructed not tA) turn it over to the marshal. The mayor expressed his views on the matterin aletter to the council, and that body referred it to a committec, and the result is not yet known. The mayor states that the marshal can have the fees if he collects the fines, Whether or not the marshal is (‘ou\'lmo(l of the correctness of ti s of the chief executive, certai u. that he has started out this month to his man, but left o description of bhim collect the fines, and he yester swore out warrants for the arrest of every sa- loonkeeper, on the charge of vagrancy. They will all be towed in and mulcted of the $25, and as much move as may be necessary to offset the cost of collece tion.

It was remarked by those who at- tended the council meeting Monday evening that Alderman Everett showed himself well fitted for the duties of his new position, and it is predicted that his services will conduce greatly to thé interests of the city. His stand in op- posing the other members of the council in relawon to the city printing made him many new friends. The others de- ed toaward it to the Globe, regard- s of rates, but Aldermun Everett in- ed that it should be let to the lowest bidder. It scemed to be simply a quess tion of politics, however, with the ocratic aldermen, and Alderman I ett’s motion for justice, fair play civy interests was snowed under by o whelming majority. As known, there are two factions council, and each 1s bidding for si mwan.
