AR S I AN, Sk s i s e ] % T THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: .fRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1889, VANDERVOORT AND DOBLIN The Wily Schemer Now Figuring on City Hall Stone. HOW HE PLAYS HIS HAND. Mow ranl and Boss Stout Manage to Work Together When a Val uable Contract is to Be Secured, Doblin Granite. The wrangle that has sprung up between members of the building committeo of the city council with regard to the stone which i8 1o be used on the suporstructure of the city hall, has led to some rather startling disclosures, A reporter who has made diligent inquiry into the cause of discord has accidentally, as it were, stambled upon some very curious facts, An intorview with the architects disclosed fhie fact that their preference was for a dark granite at the base and brown or red sand- stone above the granite. Mr. Beindorfl said that the surroundings had to be taken into consideration. Light- colored stone in_rock-face finish would not look well after a few years Mr. Coots, the contractor, also disapproved of alight stone. ‘‘Berea stone,” said Mr. Coots, *'is very durableand has stood tho t 1 public builaings here and elsewhore, but it ought to be dressed, aud not of rock-face finish. If we have got 0 use Berca stone, then there should be no red trimmings,” “Is it @ fact, Mr, Coots, that under your bid only two kinds of granite can be used” “Not at all; they can use Syenite granite, Minnesota, which is dark, or other granito that is dar] But I am told that the com- mittee 18 set and unanimous for the Dobli granite, That's the only thing they’re agreed on, and If Doblin granite is used, then Berea or some other light-colored, dur: able sandstone should be used above the granite. Red trimmings on white stone would look too stroaked.”” “Why do they all insist upon Doblin gran- fte, Mr, Coots 1" I don't know why they insist on the Dob- L, but most of the councimen are tallong as if Doblin must be used.” '8 ot western granite Just as good as this New England granite?” “Certainly, we have used it here and they are usiog it at St. Paul, Minneapolis and Denver on the best buildings.” A member of the building committee, who was interviewed on this subject, confirmed the statement that the committee Wwas st on Doblin. “‘We are all agreed,” said the member, “‘that Doblin granite must be used in the base: and the only thing we can’t agren on is whether we will use Ierea or Portage red above.” Upon further inquiry the mysterious i en for Doblin were readily discove The man who represents Doblin granite in this corner of the wild and woolly west is no other person than the notorious Paul Van- dervoort. Two years ugo Vandervoort, while in charge of the oil rooms at Lincoln, came in very close contact with Bill Stout, of penitentiary building fame. A mutual friendship sprang up between the two that resulted in a compact by which Paul became the lobby representative of Bill at the na- tional capital in connection with cont. for public buildings, By diut of a good deal of wire-pulling and 8% influence, a contract, forthe congressional library w ccured and the material chosen was Doblin granite. But some malign infiuence upset the entire job: the contract was declared off and Paul with his Dovlin received a black eye from which hagid not soon recover. Vith this information the geporter had no further neod of inquiring whys and where- fores about the remarkable popularivy whi Doblin granite has suddenly acquired in .Omahu.

Strong, ‘lato pr dent of the Santa Fe, is about to assume the presidency of the Missouri Pacific, as an- nounced in the dispatches to Tir Beg, created considerable gossip i local railroad circlos. Some of its officials doubted the truthfulness of the report, having the belief that George Gonld would not step aside and ive place to a practical man even f his papa 80 desired. A well known ofticial said: ‘It does not surprise me in the least. I have all along tuought since the report was put in circula- tion thut Strong was to quit the Santa Ie, that Mr. Gould was after presulential ma- terial for the Missouri Pucific ana that Strong was a very desirable man, When he formerly tendered his resigoation as presi- dont of the Santa I'e, I made tho remark that the Missouri Pacific would most likely havo a uew president.

Symbolical and Impressive Services for the Dead. Yesterday morning at the synagogue of the Russian Jews on Capitol avenue, between Thirteenth and Twelfth streets, the services were very im- pressive. The little edifice was taxed to the utmost to accommodate the devotees, men, women and children, who were in at- tendance, each being attired in Sunday rament, The interior of the synagogue consists of a lower floor and a gallery, the latter running along three of the walis of the building. On the floor were boys and men, the former mainly seeking their parents, some of them, however, taking up positions with young men, doubtiess members of their familios. Age prodominated, not less than fifty ven- erable gontlemen, with long grey beards, of religons demeanor and aspect being in attendance. Every head was covered, some wearing their stroev nats, others black silk caps of the smoking pattorn style. Nearly every adult was enveloped in a mantle mainly of white, with stripes of blue, and of various sizes. These mantles were drawn over the head like a Capuchin cowl, and fell thence in ample folds over the body, the hands not being encased in sieeves, Some of these robes were trimmed with heavy silver bul- lion, and especially on that part which cov- ered the head. Beneath these mantles some of the wor- shippers wore white garments of cassock fashion girt around with heavy cords. I'here was an utter absen of silenco. Iverybody who felt so disposed talked to his friend or read from his talmud at will. In the services of the orthodox Hoebrew churches tho sexes occupy different parts of the synagogue, being separated at least by a curtain. In this i nce the women und fe. male childremr occupied the gallery. Many of thom could be seen over the railing but all of them seemed deaply impressed with the solemnity of the occasion aud the cerc- mony which was about to begin. On the east side of the temple stood the tabernaclo resting upon an_altar-like struc- ture, From the top hung the veil of red vel- vet, above w! weve two large characters in Hebrew signifying the beginning and end- ing of time, or of the world. Midway on veil was a gold-embroidered star. Still" lower, on a table in front of the tabe e, rosted a candelabrum representing the = seven- branched candel-rest of the temple at Jeru- salem. In front of the iatter table stood a second one, around which grouped a number of hoary, venerable and devout worshippers, Tyvo'of these supported two frames enveloped in erimson velvet, from the top of which ex- tended some magnificent picees of ivory ch were beautifully cushioned, buzz of conversation and comment ceases,because a young man slaps his talmud several times with one of his hands and ad- monishes the gathering to preserve sience. The silenco is broken by the wailing of a nd mantled devotee who bends over tho table, us indeed do all those around him, T'o his versiclo the others make a lengthy re- sponse, meunwhile moving their heads ' forward and backward from the talmuds as if in grief. The movements of the body ~like the sounds of the chanters aro funoreal in the ex- treme. There is no distraction now. Every eye is on the talmuds, and every tone is that of lamentation. In the gallery, women burst into tears, because the services are meuorial ones for the dead. A LITTLE SKIRMISIL Bee's War Correspondent De- fends His Positi “T notice,” said Mr. W. . Annn, “that an ofticer, presumably connected with General B staff, takes violent exception to a few criticisms which appeared in a letter re- cently contributed by me to Tue Bee over my own signature, whicn described the close of the encampment at camp George Crook. “Iam rather surprised at tlis, because T considered my article in the main extremely landatory. I shall not, however, enter info controversy with any man who wasks himself behind a generic term. If the unkuown ofticer who so precipi- tously rushes into tho arena with a pen in- stead of a sword in his hand, will announce his name I will very gladly defend in detail any statements which I have made, and which were i every case vrinted over my signature. I kuow nothing about fighting bohind breastworks. The newspaper field is one which calls for open and above board controversy, and not for guerilla jay- bawkiu *“The criticisms made by me upon the en- campment had at least the advantago of hav- ing been aerived from personal inspection, and on the authority of army officers high in rank and of long experience. They were ased on facts, and as such will stand the test of dissection. Such being the case, it is puerile, not to say ungenerous and cow- ardly, for this masked knight of the sword and quill to attribute & personal mo- tive to their origin and to accuse me of publishiug them because, as it scems, Geperal Brooke had some teusion with the post trader at Fort Robin- son, who happens to be my brother-in-law. That such a relation exists was not his fault, and that such a relationship, which is the only one which does exist between us, hap- pens to be tho case, had nothing whatever to do with an honest, a fair and a just criti- cism, couched 1 gentlemanly languaze, which Tie Bee had a right to oxpect, an which 1 could do nothing else thau give.” The The Spartan.

ITS CAMPAIGN EXPENSES PAID, An Enthusiastio Meeting of the Ninth Ward Republicans—Selocting the Primary Tiokets and Other Important’ Basiness. Stuht Bought the Flag Staft. The First ward republican club went into the auction business last night for a brief period, with profitable results, At the close of the national campaign a year ago the First ward club fell into a com atose condition with unliquidated claims for campaign expenses, amounting to $77. This claim was held by Ernest Stuht, who also had possession of the only asset of the club, a flag pole of huge dimensions that had been purchased for ratification purposes. The question of j‘)uylng Mr, Stuht's claim came up at the moeting lasy night. Mr. Hascall said he needed such a pole as the one owned by the club for use in building a tower, and intimated that he would pay a good deal more than the value for the particular pole in question, and suggested that it be put up at auction, The suggestion was acted upon and John Butler selected as auctioncer. The bidding was lively between Mr, Hascall and Mr. Stuht. Hascall wanted a pole and Stuht wauted his claim paid. Hascall started the bid at 810 and was finally crowded by Stuht to $20. Hascall bid $21. Then Stuht be- came excited and shouted * Twenty-five dollars,” ‘‘Let him have it," said Hascall with the illré)( aman who had played his limit and 08 Mr, Stuht gave the treasurer a receipt for $25 on account. An assessment of ‘'50 cents all around” ‘was made upon the members for the purpose of baying the balance of Mr, Stuht's claim. President J.
