THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDN{SDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1880, THE MOTOR ON LOWE AVENUE It Seoures Right of Way After a Lively Fight. ATTORNEY HALL'S METTLE. A Possibility That the Courts May Yet Be Regquested to § " Upon the Merits of the Case. Tracks to the Country. There was a lively meeting of the board of public works yesterday morning. The question @s to which street railway compuny had the right to build on Lowe ave- nue and along the Benson line was under discussion for the third time. An adjourned meeting of the board to de- cide tho question was held. The lobby of the office was crowded with interested par- ties, while behina the rail was an array of city railway oficials, legal lights, menibers of the board and reporters. Mr. Kierstoad and Major Balcombe were promptly on hand, but the sccretary had to start Major Furay toward the board’s rooms by telephone. The major finally arrived, twenty minutes late. He shed his coat and prepared for action. Major Baloombe called the board to order and stated the object of the meeting. “What evidence,” said Mr, Pritchett, who appeared in behalf of the Omaha Strect Railway company, ‘‘is there here to show that the motor company has a right to run out on the Benson line?" The resolution of the county commission- ers giving the Benson company a right to oc- cupy the street in question, was produced. “Now, I claim,” said Mr. Pritchett, *‘that the possession of this right granted by the commissioners does not give the company an exclusive right to occupy these streets. Such a right cannot be granted, except by the leg- islatyre, except when such u right is dele- gated by the legislature to a minor legisla- tive body, and this has not been done in this case. ““The motor. company comes here without any grant whatever. The legislature has passed laws forbidding the granting of Tran- chises to street railroads in municipalities less than cities, And another thing, we have come here ahead of the motor company in our application for a permit. There stould not be uny question here relative to granting the consolidated_company & franchise for a single track on Lowe avenue. I have heard but little of the discussions in regard to this matter, and—"" ‘‘Iaven’t been out of town this week, have you?” usked General Cowin. “Yes, sir, 1 have,” +Out to the fair{” “*No, sir, out, to Flort Robinson.” Cowin smiled. ‘I see from your remarks,” interjected Dr. Mercer, ‘‘that you are not acquainted with the recent decisions of the courts in this matter, Mr. Pritchett.” “Oh, well, doctor, when.you and I get nto a discussion of the law, I'm lost,” returned the affable attorney for the street railway compan “I think, doctor,” said Major Balcombe, “that we had better lev the attorneys discuss this matter. We have spent considerable time on this question,” General Cowin said that this case was cov- ered by the Svuth Omaha case and he thought the decision should be the same. The Henson company had expended $25,000 in building the line and now that iv was worth something the consolidated company would like to take it away from them. I think,” suld the general, “‘that the question is ove only of franchise,” “If thatis true,” said Mr. Pritchett, “we should be given the permit, as we have beld the right for six years to build out there.” “Ol, yes," said Cowin, “*we have all heard that, and for the lastsix years yon have been making promises to build out there, but have falled to do so.” Mr. R. 5. Hall representing the citizens of the district along the line, presented a peti- tion signed Dy a large number of taxpayers, asking that both companies be grauted a right to build on Lowe avenue. In support of this, Mr. Hall reviewed the ordinance and the rights of the people to make this request. “I would like to know, Mr. Hall,” inter- rupted Mr. Howe, “if you appear here in the interests of the péopic or onc of thio compa- nies I am here, sir, in the interests of the peo- ple, but Ideny your right to catechise me. Iv's a habit of yours, bul I want you to un- derstand that you can’t work it on me,” re- turned Mr, Hail, “‘Do you deny, then, that I have a right to ask you for whom you appear?” This was from Mr. Howe, “Ido not; but 1deny thatyou have any Tight to throw out any insinuations as to the motives of these people. That 1s none of your business, sir!” thundered Mr. Hall. “Tho matter seems to worry you. Why are you so sensitive?” sneered Howe. “My sensitiveness, sir, will stana inspec- tion, as will any otber of my physical quali- fications you may care to cail nto question ! exclaimed the now thoroughly incensed Mr. Hall. “Oh, well,” drawled Mr. Howe, with his provoking smile, “we all know that you are able-bodied.” 1 dow’t question your right to appear here, Mr. Hall,” interjected General Cowin, affably, evidently anxious to preserve peace. “The motor company,” continued the gen- eral, after Mr. Hall had taken his seat, * certainly the prior right to build on Lowe avenue,’ “'But we claun the prior right,” said Mr, Pritchett. Then somebody suggested double tracks and joint use of the same, and there was a long urgument in regard to whose right it should be to build the tracks. “If the other company have had their say, I would like to put a few points beford the board,” said Mr. Howe, “as is known to you and to all who have paid any attention o these matters, whenever the motor company has shown a disposition to build into certain districts this company has come in and said ‘You shan't go there.’ They bave held franchises for years and have been begged and begged by the people in re- mote districts vo,extend their lines, but have refused to do so until the motor company has started to give the veople what they have been praying for, und then they have come in and said, *You shan't.’ 1 tell you, gentlo- men, it is nothing but a ‘dog-in-the-manger policy’ upon their part.” Mr. Howe then read the ordinance wnich prohibits the board from granting franchises for building more than two blocks of track at a time, and then when the applicant has built up to that point and makes ita con- necting line. = “Isn't it, eentlemen,” he asked, *‘a piece of unparalelled gall for this other company to ask you for a franchise to build track a half-mile from the end of their present track? I insist that the application of the street railway company should be dis- missed. “Are you ' gentlemen asked Major Balcombe. “Just a minute,” sald General Cowin, *1 would like to asi’ Mr, Pritchett if, in the event his company is grauted the franchiso, it will operate their cars by horses or muiesi”’ “Electricity,” Pritcnett. ‘The crowd then retired and the threo mem- bers of the board beut their backs over three soparate tables and became engrossed in the Ppreparation of their opinions. Durm%’ the temporary adjournment, Me: owe and Hall held a love feast in the hall and finally kissed and made up, and white winged peace for the nonce again sot- tled down over the board of public works. Major Balcombe and Mr. Kierstead were soon through with thewr work, but Major F\ln{-wulumed nearly an hour in prepar- ing his resolution. nally they were all ready. Major Balcombe favored granting no por- muts Lo uny company except the Benson or its logal assignee. He saw 1o reason why, simply because the Benson line was a little ln,a'rm the pond, its right should be ignored. . Kierstead, while he would like to give the companics joint privileges upon the dis- puted route, realized that the board could not graot the Omabs street railway company permit w build from Mercer avenue to Ham- 1lton street on Lowe avenue until it had com- ted if8 line on that thoroughbfare from aw Lo Mercer aveuue, thereforo he fa- vored granting the Wotor company a permit o lay oue track upou one side of the disputed through now?" laconically replied Mr. route, and to save the other mde for the Omaha Street Railway compan Major Furay then read his littlo essay. The whole case was reviewed in lengthy wheroases, and_then he touched upon the pith of the matter by the following Resolved, That a permit bo granted 10 the Omaha Motor company to occupy Lowe avenuo with a_double track for an electric strect railway, but only un the express con- dition that, when, at any time in the future, the Omabia Street Railway company may find it nocessary and expedient_to use such tracks to extend their lines they shall bo permitted to do so, under such prover, rea- sonable and just regulations and cormpensa- tions as may be agreed upon botween the parties at inte or determined in some equitable and just manner, or by such methods as may be oirected by the distriot courtsy and the acceptance of this permit by the motor company, if accepted, shall be considered to be an’ agreement to the teris above imposed. The resolution farther provided that a por- mitshould not be granted tho motor com pany until the board was satisfied that tho Benson company - had transferred to it all rights in the old line. Upon behalf of the motor company, Mr. Howe objected to Mr. Furay's resolution, Ho thought that the board had no authority to make any restrictions or provisions, and that, under the ordinance, its sole duty was to grant to the company having the prior right an exclusive permit to extend its lines along the route under discussion. Major Balcomboe suggested that it might be wise for the board to adopt his resolution. He had prepared it with much care with the hope tnat if 1t should be reviewed by the courts, that for once two great minds should agree. Furay moved the adoption of his resolu- tion, Kicrstead seconded the motion and it was carried, Balcombe voting nay. The officers of the consolidated company have not met since the docision, Ana when asked whether the company would appeal to the courts, Superintendent Smith said he didn’t know, Tke motor peonle are satisfied, as they got nearly all they wanted. The liver and kidneys must be kept in good condition. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is a great remedy for regulating these organs, ALL IN A ROW, A Shaking of the Official. Line of the Union Pacific, Agnin the official roster of the Union Pa- cific is to be changed and, while but few heads will fall now, later on there will be, it is said, a gencral shaking up of the people whose names it holds. It was expocted when the Harvard graduate was made general manager of the consolidated system that, owing to his personal dislike of certain oficials, vhere would be an eruption and that vacancies and changes would follow. It was learned that Manager Cuming requested John Rapeljke, superintendent of the Idaho aivision, one of the trusted and experienced mon of the com- pany, to hand in his resignation Mr., Rapeljke has not yet_vacated his posi- tion, but will rotire about October L. Thougn nothing definite has been an- nounced it is thought that Rob- ert Blickensderfer, ex-superintendent of the Nebraska division at this place, and at present consulting engineer, will succeed Mr. Rapeljke. Other changesto be made within the next thirty days will invoive several mdividuals located in this eity. Among them will bo the promotion of C. I, Ressoguie, from the position of superintendent of the Nebraska division to that of general superintendent of the consolidated lines, with headquarters at Salt Lake City. J. M. Barr, superintendent of the W. ming division, it is said will be transferred to Omaha to succeed Resseguie, and his va- cancy in Wyoming will be filled by P. Touhy, now assistant superiutendent of the Nebraska division. The position of assistant superintendent of the Wyoming division is to_be revived, and Robert Baxter, a former _incumbent, and at present trainmaster of the Nebraska division, is to be appointed to fill it. E. Buckingham, car accountant of the rond, it is said, will be appointed assistant superintendent of the Nebraska division, to succeed P, Touhy. Following this up it is reported on good au- thority that the department of general uperintendent will be reviewed, and that E. Dickinson will be duly installed in his former position, and the department of ns- sistant gencral manager in both instances be abolish While a slight variation may be made from this programme, the changes will be practi- cally carried out as aunounced. ned Baggage, The Union Pacific auctioned off its supply of unciaimed baggzaze yesterday. This per- formance is conducted once a year, at which time alithe unclaimed baggage is disposed of. Owing to the vast improvements that have been made in the handling of this stuff with- in the past decade the yolume of lost bazgage has been materially diminished each year. Yesterday there were but 250 packages to dis- pose of, while on other occasions the number has been several times as large. Money for a Life. About one month ago Thomas Skods, a trackman in the employ of the Burlington at Plattsmouth, was killed by a train. 'he mauner in which he met his death showed negligenco on the vart of the teain employes, and hence a claim for damages was set up by the widow of the victim. The lady ap- peared at headquarters, and after looking into the case, General Manager Holdrege made a settlement with her, but the amount could not be ascertained. reight Rate Troubles. To-day the Inter-Stato Railway or- ganization will meet at Chicago. The B. & M. will bo represented by General Manage r Holdrege, who will leave for that point to- night, Trafic Manager Mellen, of the Union Pacific, will represent his road inthe ab- sence of President Adams, Several important measures will come up hefore the meeting, the principal one being the 15 per cent cut inaugurated by the north- westean lines on business to St. Paul and common points. Should _the lines involved decling to forego the cut the represeatatives of the trans-Missouri roads will en- deavor to have the Towa lines meet the rate to Missouri river points, Au ofticial of the Union Pacific stated that unless a corrasponding cut were made by tho Towa lines the principal volume.of the trafiic would be thrown to the Northern Pacific and would be landed in competitive territory at a less sum than tho established through rato. A Merited Advanc President Adams, of the Union Pacitic, has raised the salary of C. S. Mellen, trafiic mauager; from $5,000 to $10,000 per year and the raise has been confirmed by the execu- tive board, Railroad Notes. The third series of the annual harvest ex- cursion trains was run yesterday, and a large number of passengers from the east passed through Omaha enroute west over the Union Pacific and Burlington, No. 1 passenger on the Buwlington pulled out for Lincoln with fifteen coaches loaded with pussengers bound for the state fair, Messrs. Adams, Holcomb and others of the Uunion Pacific roster, will arrive in Omaha this evening, enroute from the west. B.

Good Racing, Big Pumpkins, Fine Horses, Blooded Oattle, the Side Show and the Merry- Go-Round, All There, 1020 P Streer, LixocoLN. Sept. 10. The weather clerk and the Nebraska state tair seem to be on the best of terms. Last night about 10 o'clock a shower came down that laid the dust and cooled the air. This morning and most all day a light fleece of clouds o'erspread the sky, protecting the people from the hbat and glare of the sun. As a rule the people don’t begin to come until about Wednesday. They think that Wednesday and Thursday will be the big days, and that's all they care to see, but this year they began to come to-day. All the exhibits are on hand and 1n place, and they will stay until the fair closes. There are good races every day. Children's day brought fully 25,000 to Lincoln, The two agricultural halls continue to be the ceater of attraction. It is remarked on every hand that the agricultural exhibits surpass unything of - the kind ever seen in the west. Colorado competes with Nebraska for premiume in the products of the farm and garden. The rush in these halls was re- markable to-day. LiNcorX BureAu or Tar OMARA San, } people The Horse Show.

The exhibit of the Chase county Agri- cultural and Horticultural society, incor- porated, occupies one of the most prominent positions in Agricultural hall. This exhibit is not only prominent in pusition but promi- nent in display. It is under the superin- tendence of Secretary W. R. Davis, one of the oldest newspaper men i the western part of the state, who is ably assisted by R. A. Ewing, H. B, Hill, John Leaney and Mrs, B. F. Mohler. The exhibit1s tastefully arranged at the angle of the north and west wings, and a mounted buffalo head adorns the center ot the background. Tho motto, *‘Chase County, Only Three Years Old,” designates the ex- hibit, and its letters are formed from 128 varieties of sceds, all grown in the county this year. This exhibit not only competes for the sweepstakes, but especially for the first premiums ou the coreals. More perfect wheat, rye, oats, barley and corn was never put on exhibition. Specimens of rice and flour corn are also prominent in the exhibit. The flour from this corn is almost as rich in whiteness as the flour from wheat. Luarge, fine bundles of the cereals relieve the barren- ness of the walls. King corn fairly talks. Specimens from the sod and cultivated fields tell the story of the fertility of the county’s s0il. Mammoth millet heads and bundles of clover and timothy attest that furmers and grazers do not have to rely upon the tame grasses for feed for stock. The garden and field are represented from the three commissioners’ districts of the county. A glance tukes in potatoes, pumpkins, squashes, melons, onions, beots, turnips, carrots, parsnips, tomatoes, egg plant and pie plant. 1t would be hard to imagine any- thing of the root kind not represented in this exhibit. It is as near perfect as any- thing one would care tosee in a first clas exhibit and attracts as much attention as any in the hall. “What fine wheat!" “‘How tastefully arranged "’ are frequent ex- pressions from visitors, Photographs of Champion falls and the Champion mills are among the decorations, Land in Chase county can be purchased at from $10 to $12 per acre, and letters of inquiry will bo an- swered by Mr. Davis or any of his assist- ants. If Chase county fails to get premiums she will have the consolation of knowing that a large number of people think that sho is entitled to them. Weld County, Colo. The conventional western sod house is in charge of S. J. Shirley again this yeur He is nssisted in showing up & remarkably fine agricultural exbibit by Alonzo Abbott and J. homaker, of the same place. This exhibit attests that Weld county, Colo,, is not beyorind the rain belt, as has been sup- posed. The cereals are especially fine. Bundles of wheat, oats, millet and native grassos show phenomenal growth. I'he graip s verfectly formed. Stalks of corn, from the sod and cultivated fleld, show a growth from eight o twelve feet in height, A mammoth squash, raised by Hon. Jud Brush, the "largest on the grounds, weighs 104 pounds. Everything of the root kind is on exhibition, They show a maguificent size and prove a very fertile soil. The country was recently opened up, and is settling very fast. Land can be purchased from $ to $10 per acre. Information by letter will be cheerfully furnished by Mr. Shirley or any of his assistants, Douglas County, * The largest and most varied exhibistn agricultural hall is that presented by Douglas It takes up the entire south half of the west wing, and is in charge of Elijah Allen, Allen Root ana C. 8. Avery, It in- cludes the proaucts of the fleld, garden, orchard and vineyard. The exhibits are from the farms and gardens of the following well known Dougles county citizevs: Omes ‘Whitney, James W. Shomaker, Fred Moul- ton, O. A. Wolcott, Fred Wohlers, Heury A. Eicke, Charles J. Bautiann, A. S, Seibert, E. L. Emery, Paul _Stolenbirg, B. T. Bm: merson, Charles J. Jewell, H. C. Glissmann, Henry Kicke, Claus Jacobs, Allen Root, H. Avery, Claus Matthiss, S, G. Allen, Elijuh Allen, Alvert Cottom; Henry Carstens, Aug- ust_Carsons, C. S. Avery, William Jensen R. . Westgate and L. D. Smith. Think of aproduct of the soll ind you will find it in this exhibit. It bids but does not beg tor the sweopstakos, Specimens of the cereals are to be seen in bundle and suck. They spoak for ' themseives. Their richness and perfection'cannot be surpassed. The exhibits are tastefully atranged in tins. On the north side the first is fHiled by thirty- five baskets of potatées, ail of different vari- oties, the second by tiwenty-soven sacks of grain_and scods, the third by garden prod. ucts, the fourth by friiits, and the fifth and sixth by vegetables. On the opposite side the first tier 1s filled with mawmoth squashes and pumpkins, the second by twenty-four different varictios of corn, tho third by ap- ples, tomatoes, carrots, turnips, radishes, eots, and the fifth by melons and other products, Overhanging these are drooping stalks of corn, native and tame grasses, sheaves of wheat, oats, rve and barley, Some of the stalks of corn measure fourteen “feet in height, and the cane and broom corn sixteen foot.

Emmerson, John Baumer and Henry Bolln, the officors of the assoclation and the board of manegers. The Bees. The bee department occupies & speoial building on the west side of the grounds, and is in charge of E. Whitcomb, of Friend, superintendent of the deparument. As Mr. Whitcomb 1s an enthusiast on this subject, of course the bee department, like Tue Bre at Omaha, is the center of attraction to all comers and goers. In this department are to be found as fine honey as can be seen any- ‘where in the world. There are six exhibitors with about sixteen entries of honey, besides the numerous hives and other honey-making and extracting devices. A novel exhibit 1s the honey sugar exhibited by J. F. Bishop, of Lincoln. This sugar is about as white as light brown sugar, and is as dry as the best New Orleans sugar in the market. The following are the exhibitors: K. Kretchiner, Coburg, Iowa; Mrs. J. N. Heater, Columbus; J. A, Rose, Friend; Miss Lillian E. ‘I'rester, Lincoln: W. J. Hesser, Plattsmouth; J. K. Bishop, Lincoln; Joel Heiser, Deweese: J. P. Antill, Plattsmouth. While the number of exhibitors is quite small, the building is well filled and makes a very creditable showing. But the honey in- dustry is one that 1s rapidly developine in Nebraska, and next year Mr. Whitcomb hopes that the exhibitors will be many times larger than this year. The work_of extracting the honey from the combs is gone through with every day and a practical exhibition free to all is given. The extracting business is quite simple. The comb is taken out and, with a sharp knife, the caps are cutoff. The comb frames are then putinto a rotating frame in a large tin can and by means of a crank,are revolved rapidly for o few minutes. =~ This force throws out the honey and leaves the combs perfectly dry. It is so very simple that Mr. Whitcomb is surprised that it is not more general among bee keepers, as the saving of the comb to be used again 1s a great help to the little workers, who can go on again filling them up, instead of expending their energies in comb malking. Farm Products. In class 9, the following awards were made this morning. Best sample of white winter wheat—Fred Stutz, Benkleman, Dundy county, first pre- mium; G. A. Russell, Broken HBow, Custer county, second. Eleven entries, Best sample of red winter wheat—C. L. Brainard, Imperial, Chase county, first; H. D. Adams, Haigter, Dundy county, second.

Bank, Greenwood, Cass county, first, and Charles Becmp, Lincoln, Lancaster county, second. The work of judging 1n this department is very slow, as the number of entries is very large, and the quality so generally and uni- versally good that the work of awarding premiums is very tedious and difficult. The Cattle Show. The following awards were made in the cattle department to-day : Lot 1, shorthorns, best bulls three years ana over, B. O.

He always lets thew down. There wus a deal of Second district poli- tics afioat on the grounds yesterday, and tho impression was quite general that it was 10 be more and more a free-for-all fight. No man has the nomination in his pocket, Lively Injunction Saits. An Interesting suit was commencod bofors Judge Field in the district court to-day. It appears that the city council issued an edict Iast night that the rapid transit motors should not run below V street. Marshal Carder was Instructed to enforce the orders. The motor folks felt that the order was un- just, injurious to their business, and they only accepted the marshal's servico and ar- rost of engineers long enough to got before Judge Kield with o petition pray- ing for a temporary injunction to restrain the city council and marshal from interfer- ing with their run down to O street. The council attempted to checkmate the injunce tion by runing another to sustain their order. Two engineers were arrested for violating tho murshal’s order. The steam motors, however, were permitted to run midway be- tween Q and R streots pending the decision of the court, Marshal Curder took some au- thority upon himself in permitting this much, The public clamored for cheap and rapid transportation to and from the fair grounds, and they denounced the action of the counci I unmeasured terms. John Fitzgerald, the owner of the motor line, proposes to push a suit for damages for the interference of the council. It is learned that Bishop Skin- ner was instrumental in the passage of the order and its attempted enforcoment. The cause is alleged to be the danger to life in running steam motors, but it is hooted by the public generally. Judge Field considered the prayer of the first petitioners briefly and granted the instrument of restraint as prayed, and the motors will continue their run. State House Jottings. The case of A. L.

About 4 this afternoon while Andy Boyle was working to open a sewer in the alley- ‘way between the Windsor hotel and the An- nex, the banks caved in on him burying him in the bottom of the sower with four feet of dirt on top of him. A ladder which stood in the bottom opened a smail air passage and served as a conductor for his voice, which he exercised to the best of his abilil It was five minutes befora he was heard. After two hours of hard labor he was 1eicased, having sufferod no other injuries than a weuknoss which came from his long im- prisonment. A grateful shout went up from the multitude when he was brought to the surface. Boyle is a married man about forty and lives east of the woolen mill. G. A. R. Matters.
