ONION' DEPOT PROPOSITION, How It is Considered by Councilmen and Oltizens. THE REALTY DEMANDED. The Convention of the Missourl Vale 1oy Stoncatters’ and Quarrymen Assoclation —The Platt- deuntschers Adjourn. The Proposed Depot. The conditions upon which the Union Pa- citic ard Burlington railroad companios pro- pose to erect a union depot were announced 1o the council Tuesday night. They will be found in Tie Ber's report of the mecting. President M, Lee, of the council, was asked what he thought of the propo- sition. His reply was: “T have not given it hardly enough consideration to venture an opinion. It is my bolief, however, that I would rather vote bonds to build a freo bridge and let all the railroads come into our city that want to. The city and county might cowbine and vote on both propositious, It strikes me, however, that a free bridgo would bo better for us than a union depot just now.'" In a burst of sarcasm and Irish wit, Col. onel Ford said “I belleve the council should bo generous and make tho railroads a present of enough money to build them a depo and viaduct. They'ro too poor to do anything for Umaha without being well aid." Pix. Councilman Willlam T Bechel predicts that the people would nov vote $150,000 for a union depot and viaduct. Councilman Snyder—I was in favor of having the original committee which had tho land dealing business with the Union Pacifio een. I think if the records are hunted up itwill be found thatthe company is com- pelled to buili tho depot itself. It is ver oheeky to ask us to build a viaduet, and thon expect us to vote $150,000 to the erection of the dopot. I'd rather bond the people for a million dollars and buiid a bridge to bring eastorn roads 1in here and then give u depot. Dr. Miller said that he was a member of the committee which acted many years ago in securing the bridge for this pomt as agaiust the Child's Mill site. There was a great. deal of trouble in securing the loca- tion, as has often been told, There was no understanding when the transfer of lots was made that the Union Pacific was to erect 2 union depot. The company pledged atself to erect siuply a depot, and under that Promise the prescnt structure had been uilt, The doctor declared that he was In favor of accepting the proposition to build made by the joint companies, and thought it ought to be accepted. The' city wanted a viaduct anyway, and it also wanted a union depot. Tho present plans had been maligned, but {he building nevertheless would be an excel- lentone, even if the old one was merged in with it.’ The building did not interfere with the business, Thero was the depot of the Micligan Central in Chicago, It had been a ruin for twenty-five years, but that didn'v hurt the road. A man’s ‘hat might not be- come him butit would not therefore affect his brains. The doctor was satisfied that Mes Kimball and Holdrege would live un u whatever proposition they made. He wouid ‘want assurance, however, that they would use every endeavor to induce east- ern roads to make Omaha their termi- nus ana he thought both of these would do that, but of course could not_com- pel the roads to cross the river. The Union Pacific and Burlington roads had builta great deal, and should not now be compelled 10 do overything in the matter. While ho was not willing to go out of the law he was in fuvor of accepting the proposition. Councilman Burnbam said_he would not give an official opinion, But, generally speaking, ho thought it would be advisublo where one could not get everything to gotax much as he could. The company was not compelled to build @ depot. It was, how- eyer, compelled 10 build & viaduct, an ordi- nance framed by Connell requiring such to be dono wherever a viaduct was absoiutely reguired. But suppose the road was com- pelled to build a viaduct, that would not give us the union depot, “The location of the ground desired to be transferred to the Union Depot company is as follows: Lot 3 in block 236, in the strip of ground upon which a switch house is located. and is the second lot from the corner of Sixth and Pacific streets, on the northeast. “Thie south vhree-fourthis of lot 5, block 244, is o portion of the corner lot on the northeast corner of Pierce and Fifth streets, and is at present used by the B. & M. in its right of way, two tracks of the latter company cross- ing the southwest portion of the lot. “The 900 square foet of the west side of the south 55 feet of lot 1, biock 245, is a portion of u corner lot_at the intersection of Fifth and Pacific streets, near Iler’s distiilery, and x& 8¢ prosat coverod by the tracks of ilie B. The 2,480 square feet of the south eud of lot 2, In block 245, which adjoins lot 1 on the corner of Fifth and Pacific stroets, is also covered by the B. & M. tracks at present. The same number of fect off lots from 1 10 8 in block 207 affccts the south portion of all the lots in that block which is bounded by Pierce and Division streets on the north and south and Fourth and Fifth streets on tho east and west, overal of these lots are also spanned with tracks of the B, & M. “The 1,700 square foot of the northeast cor- ner of 10t5 in block 267 takes in that portion of the lot on the northeast corner of Div sion and Fifth stroets that faces on the ailo, The committee which represented the city in the transfer of real estate to tl some years ago consisted of Dr. ( Miller, Dr. Inos Lowe, Alvin Saunders, Ezra Millard and O, P. Hurford, The last mentioned lives up in the northern part of the state, and Messrs. Lowe and Millard aro dead. Governor Saunders is in Salt Lake. Councilman Wheeler, speaking of the proposition made by the Union Pacific to the city for the construction of & union depot and a viaduct on Tenth street, said that if it Weretrue, as he understood 1t to be, that the city has alroady paid the railroad company o bonus of $250,000 for this purpose, and for which no return has been made, he ' thought it would be very difficult for the company’s officers o 80 fully convince the people that they ure now in earnest, as to receive the Lunus they desire, He was not here, Tie said, at the time of the former transa tion and hud bis information from hearsay only. Generally speakiug, he scarcely fav- ored the project. STONE AND QUARRYMEN, A Righly Successful Meoting of the Missouri Valley Association.

Close of a Very Successfal and De- 1ightful Convention, The Plattdeutscher delegates met in pur- suance to adjournment at 9o'clock yestoday morning, President Tiark's, of Chicago, being in the chair, A varagraph concerning the benefits of mombers was changed so as to road that, “All members belonging t such Platt- deutscho Vereln as belong to the ‘Central Verem,' must join the mutual benefit sec- tion, and that, hereafter, no member can 1oin such unless he is under the age of fifty yoars and is sound in health; that any North German, whether in il health or over the oge of fifty years, can join the verein, but must be passive, and is, therefore, not on- titled to any benefits, nor can he be elected a delegate to any convention.” A rosolution was passed compelling the president and treasurer to be prosent at all annual meetings of the central vercin, and that thoir railroad fares areto be paid by that verein, Every verem bolonging to the ocentral veroiu shall pay its sick membors swch weekly henofits and for such time as the different vereins may decm proper A rosolution was ndopted to huve traveling cards printed in order to give traveling mem- bers an opportunity to have admittance in any moeting of North German soclcties, A rosolution was passed to hold the next annual meeting at Kansas City, Mo., on the fourth Monday in July, 1590, “The executive committee was anthorized to appoint an official paper within sixty days. “Tho election of officers then took place,re- sulting as follows: Henry Rudoiph, of Kausas City, Mo., president; F.

The master plumbers think that they have practically won the battle waged with the journeymen’s union. Five union men yesterday morning returned to work as follows: One for Wallace, one for McEwan, one for Rowe (helper) and two for Froe. One of those who went to work for Free, was Toole, treasurer of the union The bosses assert that these men came to them of their own volition and offered to re- turn to work according to the bosses' terms. Tho union men denounce ‘Toole bitterly and, in fact, all the men who returned to work. There seems to be a disposition, how- ever, on both sides to settle the difficultics, ALl the journeymen now ask s that the non-union men now employed be discharged and thoy will go back. The mas- ters refuse to do this peremptorily, but it has been let fall by certain bosses that if the men would return they would work off the nou-union men by casy stages and finally drop thom, AlLis not seronc in the Masters' associa- tion. When the strike was first declared the bosses made an assessment of $50 each, to be used in defraying the cxpense of bringing men here. Four members tatled to liquidute and at the last meeting it was decided to ex- pel all those who did not pay up at onco. Samuel J. Morrison was one of those in arrcars and took foffense at the action of the association, accepting it as a y affront, and a8 a result sent his res as a member of the association to the seere- tary. -An effort was made to dissuado him from his purpose of leaving the organization, and promisos were made that the action would be rescinded, but this availed nothing, as Mr. Morrison withdrew from the associa- tion and employed unfon men. pTucsday, Mike Conway went into the ofice of TInspector of Plumb- ing Duncan and proceeded to give that ofli- cer a severe tongue-lashing. Dunca ing personal injury, called upon a policoman to remove Conway, but the latter walked away unassisted. BENEFITTING THEMSELVES, The Publishers' Combine Will Make Books Cheaper. “It won’t affect the prices of school books in Omaha,” said a leading dealer when ques- tioned as to the result of tho combination formed by the leading publishing houses of the United States for the control of the sale of educational works. “The wmain object of the association,” he continued, *is, so they claim, to reduce the expenses of seiling pub lications by changing the methods of compo- tition among the different houses. Truvel- g salesmen are to ve dispensed with and and competition with rival Louses will bo carried on by means of letters and circulars directly from the headguarters of the com- bine. ~Such a combine was formed ten years ago. e Appleton’s broke that trust by getting out a butter book for less money. The Appletons were finally taken into the combme, Then the = Harpers got out s series of text books aud have them pretty well introduced now. Both of these firms are in the present combination. The price of books will probably not be changed, the result of the combine being an immense saving to the publishers, resulting from their taking trav- cling men off the rond and_greatly reducing the number of their agencies.” A MISERABL! SQUATTER, After Twenty Years' Possession, She Must Move Alons. The council has instructed the building inspector to remove the house occupied by Mrs, Brady, which stands at tho intersection of Eighth and Dodge strects. The building inspector is powerless to obey the council's order, as no place has beon provided uvon which to move the structu 1t would be a big job, to, to move the house, It has stood in its present location for twenty years and the property all arouud it has boen graded until the house is now in & basin and would have to be raised out of a decp holo before it could be moved at all Mus. Brady, the occupant, has had pos- session of the house for that longth of time and will resist any attempt made to move her: She is really & subject for county sunport, but iusists in liv- ing in this old shanty, her only companion being her daughter, & girl about eighteen years of age, who is insane. An effort will bo made to huye the woman sent to the poor farm and her daughter to the asylum, A Dependent Old Soldier.

In roference to the Sault Ste Mario build- ing its line to Omaha, as told lo the dis- patches, and the same being & project of the Union Pacifie to obwain an Atlantio outlet via Canadian points, General Manager Kimball sad: “I know nothing of any movemeont of this kind. T doubt that the Unlon Pacifio is Interestod In any project in that direo tion," Another official who cfaims to know what ho 18 talking about saia: “I would not be surprised in tho least if a matter of this kind waore brought to light, I would not be sur- prised if & Yo-up botween the Union and Canadian Pacific roaas were made. The fact of the matter is, the Union Pacific is com- pelled to do something of this ki Its rivals all have an eastern outlet through their _own road. The North- ern Pacifio has absorbed the Wisconsin Central and_this lots it into Chi. cago. The Canadian Pacitic spans the con. tinent with its own road. 'I'he Santa Fo, the Rock Island and the Southern Pacifie all havo their own outlet while the Union Pacific stops abruptly at the Missouri river, While it may not be futerosted in the Sault Ste.

Although there is an ordinance which specifies that the railrond companies shall not block the streets by its cars, but littlo at- tention is given it by the Union Pacific, as far as the Tenth streot crossing is conosrned. Yosterday morning two cars were slncked backon a flying switch but without suficient forco to clear the orossing. Traffic was for & time soriously impoded. Oficer Curry came to tho rescue, and not only instructed Yardmaster McCoy's assistants to remove the obstructions, but also lodged » compiaint ngainst McCoy for obstructing the crossiug.

John Jacoby Will Seek Reparation for Damaged Chattels. There is a suppressed fecling of exultation among the attaches of the polico department over the prospect of a suit in court that will keep Poundmaster S. D. Cory away from the police station for a few days. John Jacoby, a Council Bluffs expressman, was arrested last weok for hauling goods without ense. When placed uuder arrest his_team and load of goods were turned over to Poundmaster Cory, who tied the mules up in the shanty which he_ calls the ‘city pound,” and dumped the load of furnitiro into one end of the place, among a lot of dirty boxes ana_debris that would naturally aceumulate around such an establishment. The uext morning one of coby’s mules suffered a severe kick on its shoulder, both of them were sick from cating grcen grass, and the ratsand mice had serlously damaged the upholstery of the furniture. = Jacoby has de- cided to bring suit against Cory and his bondsmien for damages, and the pupers will be filed in a fow days. The shed which Cory uses for a pound is a square room withcut a pole, ropo or any- thing that could be construod {ntoa means of separating the horses from each other. Fre- quently there are » dozen horses in the place and they are all tied in @ row around three sides of the shed in admirable kioking dis- tance of each other with nething whatever to prevent them from kicking. acoby complains, too, that Cory fed his mules on green grass, making both of them sick. 'This charge wis somewbat of a sur- priso to those who know Cory, until it was learned that the *‘grass” was cut by the city prisoners on the vacant lot adjoining the pound, 80 that *he only labor required of the poundimaster was that expended in_carrying the grass a distance of about ten yards. There have been other complaints made of the feed at Mr, Cory’s boarding stable, but the complaints have referred to the meagro quantity rather than the quality of the fod- der. In fact it has been charged that stock coufined i the pound are supposed by the poundmaster to bo subjects for fees instead of feed, The facilities for feeding impounded stock are not _what would be called first-class. In the shed there isuo manger or other receptacle for hay—and no hay vro- vided—and only a few boxes for other feed. Thoso are kept for the exclusive use of the horses employed by the pound-master and hus assistants, Mr. Cory is a busy man. At 8 o'clock every morning be may be scen mounted on » moro or less fiory broncho, heading for tho city from his rural home, He arrives at the pound at 8:30, and after a hurried examina- tion of the pouna 1o seo how many cows his hired men have corralled during the night,he rushes over to the police station, From his arrival at 9 o'clock until lato in the afternoon ho is very uctive. Ho “instructs” General Smith 1 the matter of drawingup com- plaints, shows the polico clork how w filo them, heips the court of- cer arraign = the prisoners, udvises Judge Berka as to what is proper in the way of sentences, and tells the reporters how the matter should bo written up. At the close of the court in the afternoon he visits the various ofiices in the city hall, gives instruc- tions to his menials recarding their inaraud- ing plans for the night, and goes home Poundmaster Cory ‘complains 1o the city council that he is not making o living out of the pound business, aud wants 10 be made dog poundmaster a8 a means of increasing tue revenues of his office.

THE TRAGEDY " AT GRESHAM. s, Leese Pats a Conatenction on an 1m- portant Statpte—~Big Day of the Camp Mepting—Tired Bondsmeon, LINCOLY BUARAU OF Tirs OMAqa Han, 1009 P Stap LixcoL¥, July 17, The board of public lands and buildings met yostorday and awarded the contract for the eroction of ono three-story brick work- shop, with stone basement, and a boilor house and smokestack at the stato indus- trial school at Kearney, to Mr. O. G. King, of Omaha. To this W. T. Scott, a contractor and builder of Kearnoy, took radical ex- ceptions, becauso of a supplomental bid that had been made by Mr, King, which_sccured him the award. [t soems that Mr, King put in a bid to do the work indicated for $24,075, which was so much lower than the competi- tive bids that the board thought thero was a mistake somewhere and wired him to know whether or not his bid inoluded the crection of the boiler houso and smokostack, which Is said to have been @ part of the plaus and specifeations. King re. plied, stating that his bid only covered the ercction of one three-story building, but ho further stated that the plans he had when ho figured on the contract had nothing to say about the boiler house and stack, and Doputy Commissioner Carter confirms this statomeut. A supplemental bid was therefors permitted by the board. and Mr. King covered the con- struction of the boiler house and stack by a Did of, §7,171, whioh raised it to $33,146, and as his'bid was still tho lowest the board awarded him the coutract by a unani- mous vote. Upon the ground that a supplemental bid was subjoct to com- petitive bidders, aftor the bids had boen openad, Mr, Scott_interposed objections and visited the board this morning accompaniod by two attorneys, who insistad upon @ re- visal of the award in tavor of Scott, a8 his bid of $33,405 was the next lowest, The board took the matter under briet advise- ment and concluded that there was ground for the kick and annulled the contract, but instead of giving it to Scott will advertise for new bids and so the matter rests. It is d that this will give satisfaction and heal ull sores. A Father's Convictions. John Leavitt, tho fathor of the two girls who wore recently murdered near Gresham, York county, was in the city to-day en route home from Weeping Water, where he visited a sister and daughter. 1o a word with Tig Beg represontative Mr. Loavitt said that he was more firmly convincod than_ever that Garrett, Stemoock murdered his children, notwithstanding bis anto mortem lottor dis’ avowing ull knowledge of the crime. The fact that Stoinbock hung himsoif, as alleged, because he was sensitive and could not bear to rest under the suspicion of having com- mittod 50 foul & crime weighs vory littlo with the father of the’ murdered girls. He said, morcover, that ba did not heliove that Steinbock wrote | the disavowal. He also stated that. he had friends who_wero acquainted with Steinbock’s bandwriting and thit they were of the posi- tive opinion that ho B3 not write it.
