THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1880 WHO WILL SUCCEED GREEN? The Commission Promises to Look Into His Oaso. CANDIDATES ARE MULTIPLYING: Further Proceedings in the Case of Congressman Connell and the Gas Company — The District Court Docket. ‘Who Will Be Oaptain ? ‘The police are indulging in considerable speculation over the probable appointment of a successor to Captain Duff Green of the polico force, None of the men in authority will givo an inkling of the probable action of the chief and the police commission in the matter. Thore are sovoral available men among the officors of the force whose names are mentioned in connection with the posi- tion, the most prominent being Detective Mostyn, Sergeant Al Sigwart, and Sergeant, Mike Whalen. All of these are old-time members of the force and competent to fill the place. The appointment will probably take place next week. In the meantime Detective Mostyn is acting captain, Green and the Police Commission. ‘Mayor Broatch says that the police and fire commission will investigate the charges against Captain Green despite the fact that he has resigned. As Mr. Gilbert has re- turned there is now a sufficient number of the commission in tho city to constitute a quorom. A meeting, however, will proba- ably not be held before the regular time on Monday evening. The mayor says that Captain Green's successor must be named by the fire and police commission alone, THE NEW DOCKET. Litigation Piling Up for the Septem- bor Term. The outlook now indicates a very large docket for the September term of the dis- trict court. Notwithstanding the fact that over six hindred cases had been disposed of when a final adjournment had been reached, the judges will have as much litigation be- fore them as they had at the opening of the February or May terms, Mr. Moores is anxious for attorneys to undorstand that they must have all cases for the new docket in by the 24th inst., as that will be the limit in order to give sufi- clent time for filing answers before the court convenes? Pauly Hanson, who says he lives in Utah, has commenced suit against J. B. Neff & Co., alleging that they have in their poses- sion 550 head of fat sheep, valued at $1,650, Which belong to him, and wants an order compelling a surrender, of the same or their equivalent in cash. 'J. B. Neff & Co. are residents of York county. The suit was brought here because they arrived at South gml ® last night with the sheep to market em. Jack Suttles, has been made defendant in asuit brought against him by the wife, son and three daughters of Harrison Brown, who charge him with having taken advantage of the old gentleman’s mental infirmities and securing from him a deed to _eighty acros of well improved land in Douglas county, and ninety bead of stock. The plaintiffs’ allege that Mr. Brown is wholly non-compos men- tis, thorefore they ask that Suttles be com- pelled by order of court to reconvey tho property to them. ew papers were filed in the following cases: 14—212—Kimball -Champ Investment Com- pany vs Charles E.

WHEN THE LIGHT WENT OUT, Congressman Connell and the Gas Company Each #ile Afdavits. Afidavits are inexpensive at this season, 80 the conglomerated gas interests made one in answer to Congressman Conneli's, and pluced 1t on file with the district court clerk at b o'clock yesterday afternoon, James T. Heyward, being sworn, says he s one of the defendants in the injunction suiv brought by Congressman Counell, and is also a sort of chief clerk for the gas com- pany. The first paragraph sigoificantly hints that as such clerk he has charge of collections and authority to cut off the gas from customers who refuse to comply with the company’s rules. After reciting a single-nanded dialoguue wbout the company, Mr. Heyward proceeds to swear, in substance, that the gas iu Mr. ‘Connell's house was shut off Tuesday evening solely because he had permitted his July bill to go lInPnld over the time specified in the nompnn* s rules, the 10th of every mouth. ‘They also declare that no sooner had his check for the amount due been received on Thursday morning than the gas was again turned on. Deponent denies that iu turning off the gas he was actuated by spite or any motive ex- ‘cept the non-payment of the bill, as required of everyonealike. Mr. Connell was on hand with material enough to make a second afdavit, and 5:30 o’clock found him in the clerk’s office alter- nately reading from a copy of the gas com- any’s afidavit and answering its statements his own, ‘The June trouble occurred, he said, whilo he was trying the Hoagland case, involving over §175,000, and was very busy. On the evening of the 15th of June he came home wbout 7 o'clock und fouud a party of men tearing up his sidewalks, “What's all this about!" he asked. “We're here to take up the gas pipes.” one of them replied. “Well, you can’t do it to-night; you're a little too Iete :n the day,” and suiting the action to the word the cougressman tossed the planks back into place. Tho men hung about the yurd for a time, then walked away, Mr. Conuell was busy that ovening preparing bis argument for th pext morning, He was down for the opening speech, and said he wouldn't have had the interruption thrust upon him at that time for #25. But he arose early next moraiog, and going to his ofice wrote out a blank check and carvied it down to the gas company’s of- fice. He settled the bill, ing, as he states, ‘“the extortionate rate of per 1,000 feot, a8 oharged, which, as ter of fact, as compared with correct meter rates of coal a8, would be in excess of $3 per 1,000, Returning to his ofice his wife informed him by telephone that men were there again, tearing up the pipes. He replied that he didu't see how that could be, as ho had just paid the bill, ‘“Tell them to stop, he added, and hurried up to the court house. At noon he went home end found that the pipes had Been cut, and the earth Kli‘ked over them . .l-'“l:'":nmm llll!lm t l:)‘ lhzgmgdlllll(:: m stop, telling them the b been paid, but they had paid no attention to Ber further than to say that it didn't make auy dmfl‘fllodifla,y were going to cut off the &, aud they did, At this the congressman admits his choler rose and he weant down to the gas company’s oftice. Cbief Clerk Hayward received him, and, on being questioned, admitted that he was the fellow who replied to Mrs. Connell's Qperies. ‘At which stage of the play,” said r. Connell, *T called him a cowardly cur, a paltroon and a few things like that.”” Alluding to the claim that his bills were allowed 1o run past duo one enfire month, he stated that 1t was due to an error of the {35 companyls asocuutant. Before going to ashington he had intrusted to Judgo Ives the payment of a number of small accounts among them the gas bills, ‘I'he account ren- dered included only one month's bill, whereas, it should have included two. It was paid as presented, and the gas people had no right to object, especially as he rec- tified their orror at once when his attention was called to it. These facts he incorporated fn an afidavit, which was filed shortly after 6 o'clock. Piles! Piles!

Robertson as Trustee Erings Suitto Recover Certain Property. The oftice ot Congdon, Clarkson & Hunt, has been converted for two days into a court room, Some years ago Alex H. Robertson, who resides in Baltinore was made trustee for tho estate of Ela V. Davis at Plauttsmouth. Subsequently he made a sale of several lots through Chapman & Polk, as his agents to Michael O'Donahoe. Later developments, disclosed a transaction which Mr. Robertson thought bore strong evidences of being tainted with fraud, and he instituted smt in the United States court to have the O'Donahos salo set aside. He al- loges that while Chapman & Polk wero his authorized agents, they simply used O'Don- ahoe as a figurehead, and Polk was the real purchaser. He agreed to pay O'Donahoe $200 for his services in tho capacity of o blind. The deed was made first to O'Dona- hoe, but_before any record was made he transforred it to Polk. Tho latter. it ap- pears, had put up a littie scheme to make about $4,000 out of his client, by getting hold of the property, valued by him at §5,000, but wwhich, says the plaintiff, is now worth $20,- 000.

As the tonnis tournament begins to draw near 10 an end, and thoe plagers to enter the final contests are singled out, increased in terest is taken in tho games, and tho spect tors gathered at the athletic park last even- ing were the most enttusiastic crowd yet in attendance. The playing was without doubt tho finest ever witnessod in Omaha, and it Wus a pleasuro to aee with what Swift: ness and_dexterity an accomplished player can knock the ball into his opponents’ court and just out of the latter's roach. The double sets were played by Purdon and Lathrop vs Bustman wnd Coombs. The first game was a brilliant one, lasting nearly a1 Hour, und resultod in & sooro of 9.7 in favor of Purdon and Lathrop. A second sot was commenced, but was postponed until to- day, with the score standing 22, The singles aro attracting considerable in- torest also. Last evening Strang, Doane and_Purdon appeared on the scene, each anious for the championship, and’ each having downed two opponents, Doane had defoated Coombs and Lathrop, Purdon had laid ous Ball and Eastman, while Strang dangled the scalps of Diokey and Reed. Strang and Doane were the first two to measure skill with each _and the result was that Strang had to re. tire from the coutost with scores of 6-8 and 6-1 against him. The championship of singles s therefore narrowed down be- tween Doane and Purdon, and the frieuds of each beliove that their favorite will win. The tennis tournament ends to-day, und to make sure of this the playing will commgnce at 8:30 p. m. Among tho ladies who witnessed last even- ing's games were tho following: Misses Harrison, Duryea, Mary Duryea, Staley, Helen Smith, May Burns, Jennio Moore, Lizzie Breckenridgo, Stella Mount, Sage, Barnard, from Lincoln, and Mrs. Collins, Ena Have You Catarrh?—There is one remedy you can try without danger of hum- bug.

M “'Sweet Lavender” was presented by Frohman's Lyceum Theater company at Boyd's opera house last might for the first time in this cit; It drew an audierce almost as large as the one that witnessed “Tho Wife.” While everything favorable that could be said of “Sweet Lavender” as a stage attraction s fully deserved, it is not as wterestiug a play as the otker. That, however, is probably due to the fact that its churacters are not 8o familiar to American people, and thestory develops occurrences so tainted with human weaknesses and social immoralities that tend to chill rather than enthuse the more delicate, more refined and more sensitive feelings of such audiences as patronize this supero company. But 1t served, novertheless, to show the membors of it in a different light from that in which they have been seen here; therefore, the appreciation was all 'that could be desired. Miss Cayvan never appeared harming as in the - character of Minnie ilfillian, and she completely won the ad- miration of every person in the house. W. J. Le Moyne has the principal part, though, that of Dick Phenyl, a barrister, and he ved it to ' perfection. A more artistic, delightful bt of character work has never been seen in this city. All the others deserve mention, especially Miss_Dillon, Mrs. Whiffen, Henry Miller and Charles Dickson, who was substituted for Herbert Kelcey in the role of Horace Bream, a young American. The latter did not appear. Charles Wolcott, as Nelson Wheatcro(t, and Mrs. Walcot aiso sustained the parts allotted to them magnificently. All in all the performance was in every re- spect entirely satisfactory, and all will agree that 1 several instances it showed better acting than anything done in “The Wife."" The audience that greeted Lilly Clay's company at the Grand opera house last night was large, enthusiastic and masculine. The evening's’ programme was varied, and was a presentation of songs, dances, shapely limbs and other bric-a-brac, The entertainment was amusing, of course, to those who appreciate that variety of shows, but the moral effect on a Sunnay school class would be anything but salutary. As a matter of fact, the show was almost indecent, the actors, if such they may be called, approaching as near the ling as possible ' without violating the statute.

Jack Shannon had his hearing in police court yesterday afternoon on the charge of assaulting Oficer Monell with a char. Monell was called into the saloon at the cor- ner of Cuming and Twentieth street last Tuesday night to stop a fight which was go- ing on there. As he entered the door he was struck full in the moutn by Tom Carroll, who also snatched his club from him. Monell knocked Carroll down and was taking his club from him when Shannon picked up a chair and broke it-over Monell’s head, bruising him'so that he was unfit for duty next d Carroll and Shan- non were both arrested. After hearing the testimony Judge Berka imposed a fine of & and costs on Shannon. Carroll's case has been continved. He Was a High Roller. Harry Hubbell, a solicitor for the Michi- gan Life Insurance company, who has been residing lately at 915 South Twenty-second street, has aisappeared. He came to the city about a year ago from Peoria, IlL., and was employed by a coal firm in South Oma- ha. His salary not being large enough to suit the gentleman's extravagant taste, he mortgazed his leased furniture to two aif- ferent parties, and also paid bills with checks on banks in which he had no deposits. He moved about from place to place, At first ho and his wife roomed on Capital avenue between Nineteenth and Twentieth strects, From there they moved to Ninoteenth street, afterwards going to Davenport botween Sov- enteenth and Eighteenth streets. He finally moved to South Twenty-second street, where be lived until he loft the city abouta week ago. Hubbell was a prominent member of the Omaha Guargs, and a hight roller gener- ally. He contracted debts on all sides and resorted to all sorts of schemes to defer pay- ment. About a week ago his wife left for her old home in Peoria, and Hubbell took his departure soon afterward. The leased and doubly mortgaged furniture was given 10 the landlord to pay rent. Lo Dr. B. 1.

A Serious Offense. “Even a king has no right to fnvade the sanctity of nis most humble subject's home,” said Judge Berka yesterday in deliver- iug an opinion upon the rights of an agent of an installment plan furniture house, to enter & customer’s house and take forcible posses- sion of goods that have not been paid for. ‘The case grew out of a complaint for us- sault wfl‘ug agawst Frank Vall, an ageot for Simpson's furniture house, by Mrs. Emma Androen, of, Senth Soventeenth ave nue.

HOW'S THIS, CAPTAIN SCHARF? Why Don't Thebe Young Men Get Their 'Ulittorms? There is trouble in the ranks of the Omaha Guards—deep seatod dissension and discord ~—which, If it continues, is liable to break up the organization. Here is tho history of the case. As nearly every one is aware the organiza. tion is not a part or portion of tho state mil- itia. Itis a company composed of young men of a military turn of mind who uniform and arm themselves, and receive the satis- faction of a press notice whenever they go on parade. 'fhe members of the company ave, In the main, the best young men of Omaha and constitute a military organiza- ti1on of which any city might weil be proud. But as asserted, there 18 trouble brewing. The Omaha Guards are in dobt. They have been in this condition for a long time, They were in debt a year ago and in order to make some money held a ‘‘bazaar,” the re- ceipts of which were to bo applied for the purchase of uniforms. The affair was a par- tinl success and the new brass-buttoned dress suits were ordered, the measurements sent on and in due time a portion of the garments arrived. Four young men, Ned Hall, Ed Smith, Private Hogle and a young man employed in the ofice of Auditor Wing of the Union Pa- oific, were left out. They protested to Cap- tain Scharf, the tall bewhiskered chief ofti- cer, that they were not being fairly treated, and asserted that when the command ‘‘right dress” was given that to look at the buttons on the new uniform of the second man to the right while they stood in their old clothes would be sufficient to arouse the green-eyed monster, and they didn’t want him awakened just at that time. This was six months ago. But Captain Scharf was dumb, parently did bad uniforms or in the matter. In consequence, the four young handed in their resignations. But despite this action, the monthly assess- ments of §5 each came around with start- ling recularity. As a matter of courso they refused to pay, and a night_or two ago were dishonorably discharged. The company not being in the militia there is no appeal, and they must be content to abide by what they consider an_injustice. After citing the above facts, oneof the quartette yesterday said: “It's too bad. We ail went 1n the guards anxious for the company's success. We were willing to stand u8 much expense and inconvenience as any one,but Captain Scharf las his favorites and, as we did not ‘stand in,’ of course we got the worst of it. Why there are men in company who haven't paid one-half what we have who received uniforms, and we were shut out. It will result in breaking up the company if Scharf continues his policy. He is, to my mind, a geod. driill master, but a very poor captain. As long as his favorites flatter him they arp all right. But a man who insists on his rights had better get out- if he can. That is the storyin a nutshell. Ho ap- care_whethor his soldiers ot. And nothing was done men Constitution Amended.

A largo company of the members and so- ciety of the Baptist church of South Omaha made the Rev. Mr. Daniel Rogers and family a pleasant surpriso on Thursday evening. After a ploasant social interview on the part of all, Mrs. Claud L. Talbot, in bohalf of the ladies of the church anda society, with appro- priate words expressive of esteem and inter- est, and_with wishes for future work and welfare in their new field of labor, presented some valuable articles for service and as souvenirs of pleasant associations, which were heartily acknowledeed in a response by Mrs. Rogers, Mr. Rogers has resigned the pastorate of the Baptist church a.

James Donley, the unfortunate young man killed by the cars, had a singular career. Three years ago Mr. Donley married Miss Anna Motz, the daughter of & well-to-do cit- izon of a suburb of Chicago. One week after the marriage Mr. Donley went to Chi- cago to get work, and left his' wife, who did not hear from him till she got word from Mrs. Wallace, a friond in this city. Mrs, Wallace speaks in the warmest words of praiseof Mrs. Donley. A brother of the deceased arrived yester- day forenoon, and the body was interred in St. Mary’s cemetery at noon.
