The Commissioners Hold H3 Owas the County Over $4,000. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE. The Matter Will Probably Be Carried 1nto the Courts Before a Final Settlement Is Reached. Coburn Loses. The county commissioners resumed thelr investigation of Sheriff Coburn's reports, after waiting until neariy half-past 10 o’clock for the attornoys to put in an apoearance. Mr. Cowin thought that before further progress could be made the board should de- cide whether, providing & man should pur- chase one bushel of apples and one bushel of potatoes, he ought to pay for them sep- arately. He could not remain, but willingly trusted his client, Mr. Coburn, to proceed ‘With the hearing. Commissioner Turner presided. The sher- iff asked to muke a brief statoment call- ing attention to reports that Mr, Anderson had called him an ass in the meeting on #'ri- day, and declared that if any such expres- had beeu used he did not hear it. Mr. Anderson, however, gave no explana- tion, He neither contirmed or denied the re- port: neither did he thunk the sheriff for apologizing. ‘The chairman talked a long time on what he thougnt the shorter and better way to get at this business, He thought that all dis- jputed bills should be divided and. presented separately. ¢ PWhy then,” inquired Mr. O'Keeffe, “idon’t you refer this matter to the finance eommittee and lot it separate these accounts? I would lLike to inquire,” he continued, Siwhat we have met for this morning!" Then followed a short wrangle as to whether the board adjourned last Friday to meet in committee of the whole oras a board, It was flually seitled, and tho clerk read re- ports and recommendations made by the floance commitlee on statements by County Auditor Kvans, which were read at Friday's meeting. Mr, O'Keeffe asked Coburn what, if any- thing® be hud to say. “Of course I have,” replied that official, aud, taking the statements, entered into a discussion of them. Ou the items of mileago and baiiiff fees, a certain understanding bad been ugreed upon, He objected, however, Lo the board making deductions from bills for boarding prisoners, which have been adjudi- oated and ordered paid. 'That is, he would 1oL brook au offsel from any other claim than the one which Is intended to be effected. County Attorney Maboney was then called ‘1:: M‘r. Anderson 10 legally enlighten the ard, His opinion was not to Mr. Anderson's liking. 'Swid he: *I think that any claims allowed by the board must be paid; then, if there is auy difference which caunot be sot- tled by arbitration, the board can sue for the wmount, but it is not possible to make offsets iu olaims of one kind to remedy any defects found in claims of another kind.'* Mr, Anderson turned his attention quickly to the disputed claim of 700 for baiifi’s foes. He thought that wus the only before the committee for consideration Mr. O'Keeffe moved b discussion couid be opened, that this be iaid on the tablo tomporarily 8o as to give the commis- sioners an opportunity to confer with the couuty attorney. - Mr. Coburn had made objections to the committee iutertering with this claim, Mr, O'Keefle's motion prevailed. ‘The committes on fluunce recommended that the bill of $2,078.55 for boarding pris- ouners in May, June and July be allowed. After deductiog $401.83 for city prisoners, was _accep! The same committee also found that there was a total of $1,452,10 for 1886 and 87 whicb is not disputed. Anderson sud ‘Turoer thereafter submit- @ recommendation on Mr. Coburn's re- port for Lhouh m:smw . lnlln';rdl': ;:rnl». &8 & report showiag a0 amount due she -Iunfl by the county for $1,676.52 for boarding of prisoners and in- sane; that the former amount be placed ns a set-off to the latter, and that a warraut be drawn from the general fund in payment of the net balance, §223.82. This was referred with the others. Turner and Corrigan submitted another report, recommending that the sheriff be charged for the use of the jail by foreign prisoners at the rate of 25}¢ cents per day from August 15, 1888, This took the same course as the other, with Coburn's objection to it. The sheriff was then requested to retire while the committee could confer and decide what action to take. As the sheriff was taxing his leave some one suggested that County Attorney Ma- honey had several months ago submitted a written opinion on all these matters. ‘‘And the sherifl’s atlorney has also given me his opinion on the same thing,"” remarked Mr. Anderson. “Yes,” replied Coburn, “and I know law- yers who have given you their opiuion sim- ply to get rid of you." The county attornoy spoke again. He em- phasized his position, that if there was any difference between the board and sheriff they must adjust them in the manoer he had aiready indicated. In ofher words, deduc- tions ~ cannot be made from the claim due Coburn as Dbailift fees, to offset & bill against him for boarding prisoners. As these reports and recommendations were objected to by the sheriff, the matter must be carried into court before it cun be finally settled, “If thav tribunal decides that I am indebted to the county for $1,400 or any other amount,” says Mr. Coburn, ‘I will have the treasurer’s receipt for it within one hour after it says B0 When the committee arose it submitted the following report: Bills 3, 4 and 5, show- ing a balance due from the sheriff to the county of $1,452.70, as per figures of expert, we recommend that the couniy attorney bo instructed to take the necessary legal steps 10 collect the above sum, the same being due for the years 1856 and 1837; also that the county attorney proceed to collect the sum of 25§ cents per day from the sherift for the use of the jail for foreign prisoners from August 15, 1888, to date, and grocead to collect all other items that he in is judgment thinks is due the county from the sheriff, Mr, Coburn said be would concur in the finding. That will give him an opportunity 1o get it into court. When the county attor- ney proceeds to collect he will be forced o bring suit. e — $5,000 Reward $5,000.

Omana, August 20.—To the Editor of Tue Bee: Tug Bes is usually remarkably fair and impartial in its discussion of popular subjects, but, in its issue of the 20th, it made some statements that one, at least, of its readers, canuot pass unnot.ced, as the article in question savors strongly of gas. It says that *‘the question of lighting the clty reduces itself to & question of dollars and cents, Electric lights canaot possibly be furnisnea as coeapiy as gas.” The bids now in the haods of the city council from the ‘Phomson-Houston company disproves this broaa assertion, us the gas company's bid for as was §20 per lamp post. while the electric ht company’s bid was §22 per lawmp for the same lights that are used in the ity council 00! which any unprejudiced person will certaiuly suy are far superior in illuminating powers o the gas now used for lighting the eity. ?.uu. with the improved machinery now to be obtained, the area of illumination wit not be “‘narrowed down,” and lights can be furnished to the farthest limits of the city. A few years ago loug distauces were the bane of the electric light man's life, and even now, the obsoleto system used by the “Edison companies” that the wnu;ls r speaks of, & local company could not affo; t0 light_the outlying'districts. While New York, Philadelphia aod Chicago are given s not_using electric lights, wo y t the first of these places pays for nearly ope thousand arc lights, Philadelphia about six bundred, and Chicago is putting in her own electric light plant. St. Louis is displacing her entire system of lighting with arc and incandescent lamps. Why not mention Albany, N. Y.: Toledo, O.: Baltimore, Boston, Brooklyn, Buffalo, Columbus, O.;' Jacksou, Mich., with its 180 lamps; Rochester, N. Y., etc., etc, Competition was inyited for lighting the streets of Omaha, and the gas and electric comnanics filed their propositions, which were opened and acted on by the proper com- mittee, and they awarded the contract to the Thomson-Houston compuny becuuse their bid was the lowest, taking into consideration the quantity and’ quality of light offered. For somo mysterious reason the contract has not been signed, although the presumption exists that had the gas company been awarded the contract the matter would never have been taken out of the hands of ‘vhe gas ana electrio light committee. Now where does all this clamor for a ‘readvertisement of bids” come from1 FRANK WARREN. PAXTON HOTEL, OMAHA—Special at- tention to commercial men. Finest and largest hotel in the west. Kittredge & Brainard, proprietors. —_— A Brace of Burglaries. Burglars entered a buck window of Wood- mansee’s sploon, on the corner of \ Fifteenth street and Capitol aveuue, some time Mon- day vight and carried the cash register into the back room, where they broke it open and pocketed the money it contained, about $20. They left without doing any further damage. Captain O’'Donahoe’s saloon on Sixteenth streot, near Capitol avenue, was also en- tered, probably by the same parties, They entered the basement at the rear and effected an entrance into the saloon above by prying up @ trap door with a steel bar wnich they took from Balduf's. This trap door is il mediately under the front window, which is closed with a screen extending about five feet above the floor. The till was taken into the back room and all the money taken ex- cept the pennies. The prowlers evidently became weary about this tiwe, so they broke open two boxes of imported cigars and pock- eted 150 of them, and then carried a bottle of whisky into tke back room. They sat down t & table und had & hign old time ge: erally. From the indications yesterd morning they played high five, smokea their 25-cent cigars and guzzled the captain’s best whisky. No trace has been discovered of the perpe- trators of either of the burglaries, B $35.00 Is now the rate via the Northern Pa- cific railroad from Omaba and Council Bluffs to all porth Pacific coast points, including Portlund, Tacoma and Seat- tlo.

Oe of the non-commissioned officers in speaking of the trip remarked that the troops had & fine tims, and that the pres- ence of regulars was very beneficial to the militia, who, while fairly well drilled, lacked 8 great deal 1o discipline. The best compa- nies in the state, in his opinion, were from Dubuque and Cédar Rapids. “SWIFT'S SPECIFIC is & great bless- ing to hunanity,” says Mr. P. E.

WHY SHOULD THEY RIDE? A Mechanic Looks Into the Mail Car- riers Protest. Oxama, August 23. -|To the dditor of Thne Bee: I shouid like to express my opinion in regard to “Letter Carrier’s Protest” in the DarLy Beeof August 25. May 1 ask why a letter carrier should ride free on the horse and cable lines of Omaha and a mechanic pay fare, and often timoes stand, when let- ter carriers occupy seats? Is it & boneflt to the public, if 80, what! Are they not paid to deliver mail matter, the same as a mechanic is paid to perform his lavort Who pays the mechanic's fare when he goes about the city to work, or allows im to ride free! Does he not benefit the publiomore than the letter carrier, who produceés nothiug towards building upor improving the city, or country generally, being simply. & means of transit employed, and well paid 1n cumpm.-un with the trades, by the government of the United States? ‘They say théy are “able to cover more territory hx being permitted to ride. on the car lines, and better facilitate the deliv- ery of mail” 1 aunswer it is true, and ask. By so doing are there nol many men as efficlent as they are prevented from entering the carrier service by this same desire to spread over much territory—men to whohave borne the futigues of many a march and the brunt of many battles. This matter of venefit to the public is simply bosh with a big B. The public can wait ten minutes longer except the business part of it, for their mail and never feel that they have been neglected by the carriers, 1 know a number of carriers personally and they are generally speakiog *good fellows,” nor do T protest against their riding free —simply because when I can manage to get near enough to theworth west window of the Sunday delivery to usk for my mail and gen- erally repeat the asking in fair English three times—then wait until several friends (1) of as many carriers in the rear of me are given thair mail over my bead, which i a prevailing custom at the Omaha postofiice, and 1 don’t get any answer as to mail from window at- tendunts, only to receive it by carrier next morning first deiivery, I feel there may be much benefit rendered the public by these philantrophists. 1 have ao opinion also s regards policemen’s rights to ride on our city sureet cars which I should like to be rid of.
