SIT AS COURT AND JORY. ‘Ootnoclimen Dean and Pace In the A Investigation. COOPER IN THE SUPREME COURT. Attorney-General Lieese on the Change in the Regular Mectings of the Board of Supervisors and Equalization, LINCOLN HUREAU OF iR OMAaA Hus, 1029 P Stai LaNcoLy, May 20. ‘W. J. Cooper has commenoced quo warranto ‘proceedings in the supreme court to enquire by what authority W. S. Hamilton assumes o hold the position of councilman from the TFourth ward in this city. The case is en- titled the State ex rel W. J. Cooper vs W. S, Hamilton, The petition recites the election of R. B, Graham to be councilman from the Fourth ward at the general election in 1888, his subsequent resignation in April, 1889, and the relator’s nomination and election follow- ing. It recites further that a subsequent party canvass was held to nominate candi- dates, it having been generally concoded that the relator's election was invalid becauso Graham’s election had not been accepted at the time. At this caucus W. J. Cooper received the nomination, but at the special election following, W. 8. Hamilton received a majority of the ‘votes cust, secured a certificate of his elec tion, and now occupies a seat in the council. Cooper, the victor, bases his case on the claim that Graham's resignation created an immediate vacancy without its acceptance by the council; that his election to that of- at the general election entitled him to the seat occupied by Hamilton, and that all subsequent proceedings were invahd. The case will have a hearing at the carliest pos- sible date. It is quictly taliked on the streeus, to-day, that the case, however it may be de- cidea, will lml{p‘re the relator the smirch- ing Hamilton has in store for him. Matters are 80 m hand now that there cau be no whitewnshing 1o the investigation. The testimony of Burns and MoMurtry alone, it 18 said, rmclndnl any such possibility. 1t will be remembered that distinct charges had been made against Councilmen Dean and Pace, and yet the mayor, in selecting the committee of investigation, named them as members of it. It will thus be seen that these gentlemen sit as court and jury to pass sentence upon their own guilt or innocence. It is said, therefore, that there must be'a majority and minority revort in the findines, and it will be well for the situation to be kept in mind, In conversation with a member of the com- mittee, last night, Tk Bee representative learned that the “‘smirching testimony” has just commenced. The charges against Cooper and Meyer ‘will be taken up in turn. More of McClellan's Rascality. H. T. McNett. the South Eleventh street upholster, adds his mite to the evidence of McClellan's rascality. He says that just pricr to the confinement of his wife, ho skipped to Norfolk and remained there sev- eral months, During his absence, the prac- tically deserted wife passed through the trying ordeal, in the care of neighbors, some of whom were almost strangers, and that she was really left in a destitute condition. ‘This, in consideration of the fact that Mc- Clelian is an expert workman, and quite well-to-do, further demonstrates his heart- lessness. McClellan has elegantly furnished rooms in the Mayes block. at the corner of Four- teenth and S streets, and Painter McWil- liams says he told him not long since that he had two more girls on his string, and wyited him there to meet them. MecWilliams politely told hiimn, however, that he was not that kind of aman. This morning Tie BEE representa- tive was informed that four families who live in the block at the corner of Fourteenth and S streets proposed to vacate their rooms because of his evident liasons. The latest from Mrs. McClellan is to this effect: “I guess I am not his wife. I thought I'was, but I am afraid it was a mock-marri- " Her description of the minister who performed the ceremony tallies exactly with that of Elder Johnson, now.pastor of the ‘Walout Hill Christian church, Omaha, and also with the records, as taken from the county court, yesterday,and published by Tre Beg. Township and Equalization Boards. Letters of inquiry reach the attorney-gen- eral every day regarding the changes in the law relating to the regular meetings of the board of supervisors under township organi-' =ation and as a board of equalization. As the law has been changed in several respects, General Leese's answer to the inquiries of Ross P. Anderson, of Seward, under date of May 20, regarding the matter, will be of general interest to the public. 1tis as follows: My Dear Sir: Your letter relating to meetings of town board of supervisors is at hand. In answer I will say that I can not discover any Bhlnfic in the time of weeting of the town board. The time of meeting of the board of supervisors, regular meet- ings, is the first Tuesday after the first Monday in July of each year. . The time of meeting of the board of equial- ization has not been cnanged, but I find that the annual school district meetings have changed twice; first, by house roll 237 to the first Monday in June; and second, by house oli 25i to not later than the last Monday in June of each year. The board of equalization must levy the school district tax which, under the new law, must be certified up to the county board on or before tho first Mon- day in July. Then, again, the city council meets with the county board and constitutes the board of equalization for citiés of the second cluss, These are anoutall the changes that I can find, It will be noticea that should the district school oficers fail to certify up the school tax the board of equalization would bo requested to include the first. Mon- day in July as one of their twenty duys sit- 4ing. This is all that I can make out of the auuddled condition of the present law. That Cess Pool. The citizens residing in the vicinity of the Home of the Friendless, at the foot of South Fleventh street, are up in arms concerning the cess pool that is maintained by that in- stitution, ‘They claim that the waste matter that is thrown 1uto this pool sceps through the ground pores and contaminatas the water in theic wells; that this impure water is Jin- ble to bring on diphtheria and other discases. They have petitioned the city council for re- lief; the matter has been referrod to the board of public !ands and buildings; the water in the surrounding wells has been an- alyzed and found to be slightly tainted, but not seriously, Still the people are not satis- fi the health officer said to-day that a man who would go down into that part of the city and uphold the continaasion of this nuisance would need a shotgun, The heaith officer and Secretary Laws had a consulta- tion to-duy, and the scoretary instructed him 10 have the pool cleaued out, and then the would cemeont the basin. “Yhe offal could be placed therein temporarily and carted off. The proper course would be to make u connection with the city sewer sys- tom, but as this would cost $1,000, and as there is no appropriation, this is impossible. The State Board of Pransportation. On June 4 the case of William Bays, of Valparaiso vs the Uniou Pacific railway com- pany, will be heurd. Buays charges the com- pany with diseriminating in favor of Lincoin @8 against Omaha in the matter of live stock shipmeunts. Ou June G the case of the co missionurs of Lancaster Couuty vs The Bur- lington & Missour: will have a hearing. The bie arose over an extension of A strect &ww— the Burlington yards. The way was condemued by commissioners u » Bprointed for that purpose, but tie Burling- 0B claims not 1o have bad notice and was, therefore, not a party to the Fnu\m(lln;;n. v wake rado sad The company refuses to nrow ado 884 © e The Session Laws The laws enacted by the late sossion of will be printed and ready for sbout.July 1-mot wmuch bofore About two hundred pages of the proofs have been read. Secretary Laws says that the new statute relati right of non-resident aliens to acquire title 1o real property is creating widespread in- torest in financial circles. Inquiries con- cerning it have come to the office from principal investment companies of this country and the old world. 'I'he new statute is rather in the nature of aconcession to this outside interest. The statute of 1587 prohib- ited absolutely the non-resident aliens fromn noquiring any interest in Nebraska real es- tato. Tho statuto of 1989 wows them to ac- uire an interost as mortgages, but prohibits jom from taking the fee. Royal Arcanum at Lincoln, ‘About thirty gentlenmen met at the office of Mr. J. L. Doty Tueaday evening and decided to organize a council of the above order. Mr. George Ker. deputy supreme regent of U. P, council, Omaha, has been in the city some time getting the charter members together. The following were nominated for office: L. Doty ; vice regent, Charles orator, Prof. H. K. Wolfe; . S.

Kilted By a Hook and Ladder Trnck. A very sad accident occurred between R and 8, on South Ninth strest, at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Clark Gillespie, tho six-year- old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Gillespie, was playing on the street with three or four other little boys, and in attempting to pass in front of the heavy hook and ladder was caught by tho * and thrown down before the driver could ston his team. ‘'he wheels of the truck passed over him, in- stantly crushing out his Life. The driver ot tho team tells a very straight story regard- ing the matter. ‘Tho funeral will probably take place to-morrow. City News and Notes. John Ellswick answered to the charge of perjury in Justice Snelling’s court this morn- ing. He lives in the north part of the county. The cases of the Union Pacific railroad company vs Marks J. Bellette and Samuel A. Walker vs Patrick Hagerty, were filed for trial in the supreme court to-day. They were filed on errors from Dodze und Cuming counties, respectfull, Preparations are ve for the non-parti- san coavention to be held in this city next week, commencing Wednesday, June 5. 1Itis confidently stated that there will be 1,000 del- egates 1n attendance frowm different parts of the state. The American Loan and Trust company of Asbland filed amended articles of incorpora- tion with the secretary of state to-day, in- creasing the capital stock of the cuncern from §250,000 to §500,000. —— BARRED DOORS AND GOLD. The lron Hall in Secret and at the Smelting Works. The Iron Hall delegates nssembled behind closed doors yesterday making and revising laws for the government of the order. The offi cers elected Tuesday will be installed to- day, and the work will be directed to miscellaneous subjects. It is expected that some matters of mterest to the public will be treated aud that the outer hall barricade will be removed. Resolutions of sympathy were passed by & rising vote on the death of Mrs. Dana R. Hovey, wife of one of the ropresentatives, who was culled back to his home while en route to Omaha. Resolutions of various kinds suggesting changes in the laws as they uow exist were referred to the committee on laws. Considerable discussjon arose over a con- templated change in the law relating to the invostment of the reserve fund by subordi, nate branches. The law, as it now exists- permits the branches to invest in firat-class mortgages on real estate to the extent of two-thirds the appraised vaiue of the prop- erty. A change is contemplated permitting investments to the extent of one-half tho market, value. This question is & change of great import- ance to the order, involving the best meth- ods of placing ut $600,000 to the best ad- vantage, as to security and accumulation, The matter will be further considered at the afternoon seasion. ‘The visitors express themselves as well pleased with their reception in Omaha and say they will endeavor to organize a branch in this city. That this will not be difficult, it is msserted, the numerous inquiries into the workings of the Iron Hall, made of the delegates at their hotel by citizens of Omaha indicate. At the close of the morning session the delegates, fifty-five in number, marched to the smelting works under the leadership of Fire Marshal Galligan, The mayor had in- tended to be prescat, but unexvected busi- ness compelled him to send a substitute. It was the first time that many of the members of the order had visited a smelting works and the novelty and extent of the works created profound astonishment and admiration. A nugget of gola valued at $7,000 was passed from hand to hand and returned to ',hgownm. eturning to their hotel the party was shown the alertness of Omaha's fire depart- ment by Chief Galligan at_the Tenth street fire station. Notwithstanding the fact that a new team was used in the test very credit- able time was made. The association spent a greater rtion of yesterday afternoon’s session in a discussion of the investment of the reserve fund. It been the practice to invest the reserve fund in real estate mortgages to two-thirds the appraised value of the property. Itwas decided at the session ye?écnhy afternoon that hereaftor the rescrve find be invested in real estate mortgages to the extent of one- half of the market value of the property. A number of laws referring to sick claims were referred for further discussion at to-mor- row’s session. The legislation of this session is not ex- pected to develop any radical changes and its main object is to make more secure the funas on hand und bar the unjust claims which may be advanced by branches, There is unother interestmg problem to be solved by the sittiug, and that is the proprioty of according tc the women's branchos repre- sentation ou & footing with male bran ches.

Master and Journsymen Plumbors Fail to Harmonize. MEN TO COME FROM THE EAST. The Bosses Reject the Journeymen's Resolutions—Piasterers Ordered Back to Work on The Bee Building. Masters and Jonrneymen Disagreo The master and journeymen plumbers met at the Paxton yesterday and attempted to fix upon a basis upon which the existing strike might be settled. The journeymen presented the following: Resolved, That the journeymen's union hereby agree to ‘return to work in all shops upon the acceptance of these resolu- tions, and in consideration of employing none but union help. Resolved, That the Master Plumbers’ as- socintion agrees to recognize the Journey- men’s union and abide by the rules and reso- lutions heretofore existing between the two organizations. Resolved, That the set of resolutions, dated May 23, 1850, by the master plumbers be rescinded aud that & code of rules be adopted by voth organizations on the same status as in effect January 1, 1880, Resolved, That no discrimination shall be made towards any members of either journeymen, jobber or helpers’ unions when reinstated, and be it further Resolved, That thesc articles of agreement, shall be binding on each organization for one year from June 1, 1880, Prosident Hussoy, of the muasters’ associ- ation, asked if this was the journeymen’s ultimatumn, Vice President Clancy, of the union, repiied that it was. The masters re- tired for a few momeuts and when they re- turned Mr. Hussey, upon their behalf, said that the line of action proposed by the jour- neymen would take them back into a condi- tion of affairs they were trying to get out of, and for that reason the masters could not accept the pro- posed condition ard would have to insist upon the enforcement of the resolutions adopted by them yesterday. They received a telegram from their agent in the east to- day and he will start for Omaha Immediately with a suficient number of men to take the places of the strikers. Plasterers Return to Work. The executive committee of the Plasterers’ union held a mceting late yesterday after- noon, subsequent to the plumbers’ confer- ence, and after considerable discussion it was decided to order the striking members of the union back to work upon T'ne Bee build- ing. The men were personally and officially notified of the action, and, so far as could be learned, but one or two demurred. A member of the union was seen and asked what led the union to take this action, but he said that the men had been ordered to keep silent, and refused to auswer any ques- tions, Charley Burns, ome of the contracting plasterers in Tue Bee building, has been east for some time looking for men to take the place of the strikers, and telegrashed to his partner here yesterasy mornmng that he hod a squad of men ready to come, but the partner, in answer, wired him to wait until after the conference of the plumbers. Fifteen striking plasterers will resume work at Tue Bee building this morning. A man whose interests are clearly identified with the plasterers’ said last night that in his O‘Yinion the union—that is, the plasterers’ —had discovered that they could gain noth- ing for themselves or the plumbers by re- maining out, and that, as it now appears as though the strike of the latter would con- tinue indefinitely, they finally decided that their most expedient course would be to re- turn to work. In speaking of the action of the plasterers lnméniqht. a member of the plumbers’ union said: “This does not mean a weakening on the part of the plumbers. We don’t stand much of a show of compromising with the master plumbers and are going to try a new scheme on them. We will have the plasterers go ahead with their work and then the master plumbers will have no excuse for not completing plumbing contracts which they have on hand. We'll see how they get along vhen.” Said a master plumber: *‘Wehave'done all we can toward a compromise. The journey- men made twelve demands of us, and we conceded ten of them. We can get all of the plumbers we want from New York to take the place of the strixers, and we will have a force of them here before another weelc." Advice to Mothers.

Only Eight Minutes Required by tho Court to Reach a Verdict. Walter Edwards, the colored man who has been on trial the last three dayson the charge of assaulting his wife with intent to kill, was found guilty yesterday afternoon. 1t only required the jury eight minutes to ar- rive at the verdict. The penalty in the case provides for a term of imprisonment not to excoea fifteen yeurs. Edwards was evidentiy afraid that he would draw the capital prize, as he had to be supported by the sherift when led back to jail. In February, 1859, the Omaha Gas Manu- facturing company began a suit against the city of Omaha for #16,528,20, an amount claimed to be due the company for gas and work performed for the city in putting in gas lamps, eve, The patition set forth that from Sl:fmmbsr, 1883, to’ August, 1884, the city paid all the bills of the company, as re- quired by contract, but from August, 1884, to January, 1888, the city refused to pay for the gas and the work done, although from January, 1885, all bills were paid. On behalf of the city, John L. Webster flled an answer to the suit, setting forth four reasons why the amount oisimed should not be . In - the lace, 1t i8 claimed the Omahba Gas anufacturing company sold out its business to the United Gas Improvement company, an eastern corporation that began the manu- facture of water gas. This was done with- out a notification to the city. It was & new corporation, and when it took hold of the a8 works the previous contract became null and void. In the second place, the United Gus Improvement company changed its name to the Omaha Gas Manufacturing com- pany, so that the original contract with the company might be maintained. The third objection is that the gas furmshed by the company was not worth the money charged, | as evidenced by the city council in reducing the price. In the fourth place, the company, according to contract, agreed’ to keep the lamps clean and to use & olass of burners that furnish light equal to fifteen-candle power. On the other hand, the snswer al- cyes that the lumps have not been kept clean, nor have the proper kind of burners been ‘used. In the case of Lessentine vs the Elknorn railway, the jury returned a verdict of §100 nud interest for the plaiotiff. The suit was for #5,000.

Rest, warrior, rest, ’Neath the scattered flowers, O’er thy calm breast Pass the fleeting hours. Thy native land Honors true devotion, And with free hand Seals thy high promotion. Marches and wars Now forever over, Thy noble scars Blooming sod shall cover; Hurdships are done, Gone i8 all thy sotrow, Bivouac begun In the eternal morrow. Where free thoughts blend Floats the starry bauner Thou didst defend In such gallant manner; Where once were strife And the hates that sover, Union_and life Shall abide forever. Sleep on thine arms, Ready for thy waking When glad alarms Earth and sky are shakin, Heaven's reveillo Shall remove earth’s sadness; The grave’s delay Brings eternal giadness. Soldiers, well done! Peaceful be your slumbers# Each setting sun Addeth to your numbers. But the coming years Shall increase thanksgiving For your dying tears, For your valrous living. Committees are busy visiting all the public schools and collecting the flowers furnished by the children. The A. D. T. company furnished wagons for the purpose gratuitousiy.

While fixing some belting in the beef de- partment of the Armour-Cudahy packing houses, Tuesday afternoon, Willlam M Rhyno got his clothes caught in the gearings and received injuries which are serious, and may possibly prove fatal. The left sleeve of his coat caught in some revolving machinery, and in a fow seconds his cont and two shirts were torn off. He fell to the floor, a distance of about sixteen feet, striking on a machine, Mr. Rhyno had his left ankle sprained, and received injuries on the left log, and was badly bruised all along the left side, up to the arm.

Drunken Peons Making Easier the Penance of Indian Girls, The gallant act of Sir Walter Ral- eigh, in spreading his cloak before Queen Elizaboth, to save her feet from the mud, will always be remembered as an instance of knightly devotion. Vet the act has its mr-llc*n, all the more noteworthy in that they sometimes oceur when the recipient of the cours tesy is 1o queen, but an numble matron. The author of “A White Umbrella in Mexico,” deseribes such a scene. “‘Once I caught sight of a ceremon not often seen in Zacatecas and nng met with elsewhere. In the middle the stroet, upon their knees on rough stones, walked, or rather crawled, two native Indian flr\a, d in white, their heads bare, theiwr black hair streaming down their backs, their eyes aflame with excitement. Both clasped to their broasts a small erucifix. Surrounding them were a dozen half- nr:\i{ devotees, whose frenzied swelled the chant of the youngest penis tent, “Suddenl§irom out a pulque shop on the opposite corner darted three men, evidently peons. With a quick move- ment they divided the pressing orowd, sprang ahead of the girls, and, taking théir own zarapes from their shoulders. threw themselves in turn in front of the ponitents. ‘*As the girls crawled ncross them the first peon would again seize his zarape, run ahead, and respread it. ‘“‘It is & penance, senor,” said a by- stander, ‘not often seen here. The girls believe they have committed some great sin. They are on the way to Los Romedios, the chapel that you see on the hill yonder. But for these drunken peons they would leave a track.’ » e —— Whisthinz noring. ¥ Albany Journal: *‘It is & singular fact,” said a well-known merchant to- day, ‘“‘that the worst case of snoring can be stopped by a low whistle. You don’t believe it? Well, thore’s my office hoy asleep now on an old box. Hese him snore? Of course you do. dead could hear him. Now listen.” The merchant gave one quick, whistle and the fog horn accom! ment ceased instantly, although the lad still stumbered. **What are £ou daing?” then asked the man of ‘business, as he aroused his satellite with a shake. “‘Nethin’* was the instant ranly of the youngster. ‘I was jest hearin’ a feller otside a whistling like blazes.” Mrs. Cleveland's Friends. Mrs. Cleveland is not forgotten by the children of Washington, says a corres- pondent of the New York Tribune. Her three years’ reign impressed itself upon them, and they still measure beauty, amiability and power by the ex- president’s wife. The colored children are especially her admirers. Two of them, little, black, unkempt creatures were coming down Fourteenth street the other day, and the youngest acoused the other of pride. **Youse proud, you know you fs.” The other humbly replied: ““If I had had hair solong that I could sit on it, and was as beautiful as Mrs, Cleveland, I would speak to you.” Will buy sufficient Pearline to do a large wash— Clean a house, - or enough of both to prove to any woman its wonderful dirt-removing and labor-saving qualities. nothing, but makes the dirt jump.
