The superintengent con- eiders that Miss Burkitt is not fully compe- tent to flll the position, and refuscd to recom- mend her, consequently sho was not clected.

It was a court of inquity that the fire and police commission held last night, with Offi- cers Dubois, Newman and Walker doing the dance on the carpet. Dubois was charged by one C. J. Phillips with having on circus day overstepped his duty at the ticket wagon by taking him (Phillips) by the neck and breathing blas- phemous imprecations in nis ear. Dubol Shields, Savage ana Slf\vnrl denie ] the alle- gation collectively and individually, whilo the defense not being present, had no oppor- tunity of saying unything, and in this condi- tion the case went into executive session. Wal was charged by a young man named Sheridun with having arrested him (Sheridan) on the charge of being & suspic- jous character when the officer knew better. The usual afirmations and denials took place, in which the police and citizens were equally divided with one exception, that being one Enter- mute, a green grocer on Grace and Saunders, who didu't like Sheridan anyway, and never saw him do anything in the shape of manual labor, This matter was also re'errmi to the durk lantern end of the meeting, The case of Newman, who is charged with assaulting Attorney Crowell, next received attention. As in the first two cases, the off cers stood by each other in the matter of testimony, and in that ahape the case was taken in to the twilight session. Jack Prince and E. S. Flagg wanted to transfer a Fort Omaha license to the Coli- seun durine und after the Exposition, but the commissioners shut off all chances for heavy receipts by laying the matter over for sayen days. Ofticer McBride, who was charged with beating his way over the motor line contrary to the statutes, was sent back to duty for one week. In the meantime the conductor who lost his situation will wonder if he will be needed at the next meeting, as no notice was given hi Cnief Galligan was granted eight days’ leave of absence to attend the meeting of fire chiefs at Kansas City next week. The com- mission also decided o Ko a day or two them- selves, Oficers Burko and D. Graves want to be appointed sergeants, and Ofcer.Foley wants to be a mounted policeman. Their appleca- tions were filea- Leave of absence was granted Officer King for tifteen days, while Frank Gra of the fire department, was givena ten days’ lay off. Sergeant Sigwart reported that S. S. Felker, a wholesale liquor dealer at 130 North Thirteenth street, was doing business without license, as were Joe Baum, at Eleventh and Pierce; A. Frick, 108 South Tenth, and G. Lawraence, on North Thir- teenth. The entire matter was referred. ‘When open session was resumed it was an- nounced that Oficer Newman had been fined fifteen days pay for conduct unoecoming an officer, while ORicer Walker was mulcted ys ay for the sate offense. .Ofcer Dubois was exonerated. = e IMENTS. -Manager Sackett had a great time yester- day and last night at the Kden Musee, It was bis openiug, and he entertained about 4,000 people. Since last season the place has been thoroughly renovated, somewhat ro- modeled, and made quite attractive. Among the new features is a stage and auditorium in curio hall, anew drop curtain, and regular opera chairs in the theater dowh stairs. T'ne walls everywhere are adorned with nice pictures, while in front has been erected gas jetsign that looms up immensely ut night. So far as talent goes, he begins his season very well. This week his _attractions on the theatre stage are Lee, a very clever juggler; the Putnam twin 8'sters, song and dance artists; Morton, Reno and Muack, mar- velous French clowns; the threo Jones' chil- dren, with Billy Hogan and Harry Eaton, minstrel stars. The programme is an nter- esting and entertainine one, On the top floor are Australian fire worker, Solomon and Whiting, musical mokes; Billy Bennett, banjo soloist, and Ollie Leonard, & serio comic vocalist. furnish the patrons good entertainment. The Musee starts out well and prowises to have a fine 8eason, e NEARLY DESTOY BY FIRE Baker, Mont., Almost Totally Wiped Out. GrEAT FALLS, Mont., Sept. 2.—News has just been received here that Baker was almost totally destroyed by fire yester- day. The fire started in the Miners' house three doors below the Zeigler house and swept from there up the valley burning all the eastern portion of the camp. It is supposed that a man named Bilis, his wife and four children lost their lives, Three men are also missing. Baker is the business center of the entire market district and is about sixty-five miles southeast of Great e inois Strike Settled. Sept. 3.—The conference to- day of the coal miners and operators re- sulted in the settlement of the wage troubles throughout the northern Illinois coal fields, and an early resumption of work, except in the mines of W. L. Scott, will probably occur. ‘The operators were all represented except Scott. und'fl-lnvu their ultimatum, the terms being a redbction of 73§ cents @ ton, 10 disconnt on company store orders, a re- duction of 50 per cent on tool sharpening, except at Streator, and the sale of coal to the miners at cost, putting it on the cars. The miners, after & long consideration, de- cided to accept this pro‘rnsluun. The work- men desired rent free during the strike and no vietimizing on going to work. The oper- ators declined to put these points in the agreement, but stated privately to the miners that the would be as desired. ——e—— A New Dakota Road. Sr. Pavl, Sept 2.—A special from Sioux Falls, 8. D., say 1t developed this even- ing that a railroad to be called the Sipux Falls & Denver s to be built from here, the work being contracted to begin as oon as the right of way s secured. The line will take in Parker, where it will fork, one line ruuning to Wheeler, one to the Missouri river in Cl s ®ix county and another going down the Jim river valley to Abeerdeen, thence to some lmlm in Campbell county, near the northern ine of South Dakota. -— .

Brown, of the bankrupt wool firm of Brown, Steese & Clark, is in Boston and will do what he can to aid the assignees in straightening out the affairs of the firm, T A Girl Tramp. A girl tramp, wearing male attire, was arrested ?u Cincinnati one day this week on suspicion of being acrook. At the station house she told this story of herlife: “[ came here from Indian- apolis on a freight traini rode all the way on the bumpers, I've been a tramp for two years, working when T had to and begging when it was possible. I never had a home and never lived in a house. My father was a horse trader and peddlér, and traveled all over the country in a v ron with my mother and myself. 1suppose I was born in a wagon, #s I never knew what it was 1o live in a house.” THE NEWS ABJUT THE BLUFFS Alderman Lacy_'a_i\news on the Olty Halb@uestion. A SUCCESSFUL DRESS PARADE. Another Dischargdy of an mpty Gun —Pottawattanite at the Blve Grass Palace—Uonacil Proliedings. The New City Hall. “Of course we are going to have a new city hall,” said Alderman P. Lacy, president of-the council, yesterday. “‘and it seems as it thoe public generally ought to know it by this time. The site will be decided upon and purchased before the last of December, and work on the new building will be commenced next year. No, it will not require any- vote of the people to settle the mutter, for the council has full authority to act as they see fit, still it is very probable that the que ‘ion will be submitted at the fall election, in or- der to see how the citizens feel about it and what amount they are in favor of appropri- ating for the erection of a new hall, as the council would not wish to do anything con- trary to the general wish of the tax payers. There is not the slightest doubt but that the city generally is in favor of a new building, the only question beiug the cost. As far as I am concerned, 1 should say that not less than $100,000 should be expended on a city hall, us, for that sum, a building could be erected that would accommodate the city for years, while if it was less than that, it would not be so very long until there would be a demand for something better, and we ought to build now for the future.” ‘‘How much would it be possible for the city to appropriate for this purpose, without exceeding the limit allowed by law for & city’s indebtedness?” “Well, you can easily figure it. Our pres. ent indebtedness 18 about $147,000, as the courts hold that paving, grading, sowerage and other special assessment bonds that are paid by owners of proparty abutting on the streets where the work is done are not prop- erly a part of the city’s indebtedness, and cannot be included in the amount limited by law. Now, then, the assessed valuation of the city is 85,128,448, and the law says that a city's indebtedaess cannot exceed 5 per cent of the assessed valuation. This would allow the city, under the present valuation, to have an indebtedness of over 300,000, or over $150,000 more than at present. ' You see, that is about the amount for which the city could be bonded for a new city hall, under the present vaiuation, but you must under- stand that the present valua- tion is not what it should be. Last year our assessed valuation was about $4,700,000. This year it was raised nearly $1,500,000, and sull iv 1s far too low. It should be about $3.000,000 if it was properly assessed, which would allow us an indebted- ness of $4 0,000, but of course that does not cut any figure with the wamount for the pres- ent time except to show thatif the full amount was reached now, we would still be $100,000 below the limt after a fair asseas- ment another year, I don’t say that I would advise bonding for a 150,000 city hall, but I certainly would not have it a cent less than £100,000." At this point Mr. C. E. Bell, of the firm of Bell & Berlinghoff, *architocts, nappened along, and he was uskbd what amount would be required to put up a city hall suited to the of the city for years to come. Why,” said he, ‘‘the city could get a very fine building for from $150,000 to $160,000, one that would | be a credit to the city twenty @ years hence, as it would be perfectly Hreproof, ana would con- tain every modern convenicnce and improve- ment. It costs between 20 and 25 per cent to muke a _building absolutely fireproof, i cluding iron beams, tile flooring, ete, ote. What kind of a building wouki £100.000 put up! Well, a fair building—a very fair kind of a building, but the other would be far cheaper for the city in the end. It would be yery poor economy to put $100,000 intoa building that would not meet the require- ments after a few years,” 1t will take somes time to get everything ready for work, after the site is secured,” continued the alderman, “‘as it is no small matter to get satisfactory pluns, let con- tracts, ete, but 1 am satisfied that work will be commenced next year.” “‘What 18 there in this report that there was a great oversight in letting the contract for the new hose house on Lower Broadway, and that the bill of extras will amount to more than the original contract!” “There is nothing in it whatever. The council understood perfectly what- it was doing. and no grand surprise has de- veloped, as stated in certain papers. They state that the contractors have certain work to do for which no provision was made, and they pretend to be afraid that an o orbitant price wiil be charged. They say no provision was made for the foundation, and predict that somebody will get rich by put- ting in & few thousanda brick. The single trath 18 thai, while the exact amount re- quired for it was not stated, Contractor Wickham is required by the terms of his contract to put in all extra brick at $) per thousand, ara 1 fail to see where there is any big steal in laying brick in a wall at that price. As for that other matter about the floor, it is simply 4 difference in opinion as to what material should be used, or whether or not there should be a cellar. That is a matter toat the council can easily settle. The hose house will be built without any trouble or need of outside interference, and it will be safely out of the way in time to Ki\i? everybody full swing at the new city hall, e Fairmount Park.

The drill was very' finely executed, com- paoies showing up splendidly, and the parade w as dismissed ouly too soon to suit the de- lighted spectators. An interesting feature of the evening’s en- tertainment was the non-commissioned offi- cers' drill of the Omaha guards, which re- sulted in a victory for Sergeant Reed. The prize is a $25 medal, offered by the officers of the company, and must be won three times 10 become the property of any officer. It has now been won twice by Sergeant Reed, d twice by Sergeant McAllister. The judges were two Oficers of the regular army, Lientenaot Gregy, a distingulshed marksman, and Lieutenant Grote Hutehin- son, of the Nioth cavalry, and statistical ofticer at the range. During the latter part of the evening, the floor was given up to -the dancers, and the sight was a pretty oue, The Biuffs belles and the visiting soldier boys had full sway, for the latter wire o0 _wany brass buttops for the local beaux. All in all, it was & very enjovable eveuning, aod which it is hoped will often be repeated. The return parade be given at the armory of the Omaba Guards in & short time. Dalbey’s band and orchestra furnished the music for the occasion, The Guards are to be congratulated jon the very successful result. st J. G. Tipton, real estote. 527 B'dway. —— Goto M.

A shooting affair occurred Sunday evening at the home of Mr. Welch, on Fifth avenue, near Tenth street, in which Mageie Welch received a bullet from a revolver in the hands of a twelve-year-old sister, named Lizzie, The httle child claims she did not K&now the weapon was Joaded. She had been handling the revolver several days before, and yesterday, while Miss Maggie and a lady friend were looking at a paper, Lizzie asked what they were doing. They paid no atten- tion to her, when she said: *‘Well, I'll just shoot you,” and going into another roowm re- turned with a revolver, which she fired. The ball took effect in the forehead, glancing to one side, nflicting a scalp wound about three inches in length. The shooting occasioned some excitement. The little girl handling the weapon w; very badly frightened at what she had done, ¢he had no idea that the weapon would be discharged. expecting that it was in the same condition as when she had it before. The injury to the victim is very slight. e Good business chaunce; a $3,000 stock of gent’s furnishing goods, hats, caps, boots and shoes, is offered for sale-by Fox & Hughes of this city.
