Bditor Vaughn's Tax List Bill Once More Before the Board. L ATTORNEY MAHONEY'S OPINION. Anderson Precipitates Another Wran- gle In Connection With Affairs In Clerk Roche's Office—Appro- priations and Bids. The Tax List. The county commissioners held their weekly wrangle yesterday aftornoon. They were all present and the atmosphere was sulphurous at short intervals. Several mat. ters were brought up whicl caused coveid- erable discussion. The county attorney returned the cummu- nication of the Democrat Publishing com- pany which had been referred to him, and stated that, after an examination of the contract and the bid which was, by the terms of tho contract, made a part thereof, heis of the opinion that the company had agreed to publish the tax list, three inser- tions, for 23¢ and 5% cents per description, and also stated that the contractor has no ciaim against the county except for the price contracted for, whether reasonable or un- reasonable. An opinion from W.J. Connell was sub- mitted by the Democrat publisher, The chairman cbjected to having this read, as it was not addressed to the board. Mr. Vaughn asked that it be read anyhoiw, but Mr. Mount told him to take it to a court and not bring it into the board, which was not n court. Av the request of the members it was read. The opinion was based on the opinion of Messrs, Gannon, Breck & Shea, which is dircotly con- trary to the opinion of the county attorney. Mr. Connell qualitied his opinion by sayiog he had nov seen the bid, but thought tho contract called for 2{ and 53¢ for ench insertion. As a matter of fact, the coutract does not specity tho number of insertions, but the bid, which is made n part of the contract, distinctiy states that the figures quoted aro for three insertions, A communicetion was 1 ticket agent of the Wabash T that the commissioners allow their claim of $04.95 for the transportation of the insane prisoner, “Jack the Ripper,” to New York. ‘The amount covers the cost of two tickots to New York ano one return ticket. This 18 the result of Commissioner Turner's junket, when he accompanied Jailor Joe Miller to New York in charge of Jack the Ripper. Anderson moved that the amount be allowed, but O'Keeffe protested against the payment. He said it was establishing a very bad precedent to allow such accounts. Turner wedged in a side remark to the effect that if any claim were allowed this one should be. “The claim was put to vote and carried, all the members voting for it except O'Keeffe, who wanted his protest recorded. A request was received from the Hebrew Benevoleut society requesting 50 o be used in purchasing tickets to San Francisco for a man, wife and eight children, O'Kesffo re- marked that it would be more reasonable to allow this than to allow such a cluim as the last one. It was veferred to the committee on charity. Two bids were received for grading in sec tion 25, 10, 12 as follows: Cowan & Hall, 16% cents per cubic yard; James Taylor, 17, cents, They wete referred, Clerk F. E. Moorcs submitted his report of tees collected during the quarier ending September 30, amounting to $161. A resolution with a long preamble was in- troduced by Anderson, which precipitated a wrangle. ‘I'he resolution recited the fact that the law makes it the duty of the county clerk to make out estimates for books, blanks, ete., and that the commissioners by resolution, directed the county clerkk to procure blank tax receipts in nccordance with the requirg- ments of the law, which the clerk has failed to do. It concluded: “*Resolved, That the matter be referred to the county attorney with instructions to take the necessary measures to enforce said resolution.” O'Keeffo excitedly excluimed that the clerk was under bouds to perform his duty, and it was unnecessary to have the county take such action. It had not been done be- fore, aud he thought the gentleman was very personal in his insinuations against the county clerk. Anderson stated that he was well aware that there were many things which had ot been done by the commissioners in years, but the law was very plain, and he proposed to see that it is complied’ with as ar as lay in his power. O’Keeffe remarked that it had never been necesrary to call a grand jury to sit on the commissioners before. County Clerk Roche asked to be allowed to make a statement to the board, but An- derson objected and his objection’ was sus- tained by Chairman Mount, notwitnstanding O'Keeffe's protest against the ‘‘gag law’ being enforced. County Surveyor Howes submitted a plan for sewerage for the county hospital, which was referred to the committee on construc- tion with power to act. Appropriation sheet No. 20, of the general fund, came up for the second readinz. This is the sheet on which the Democrat’s bill of #70) appeared. On motion of Anderson, this amount was changed to read £545.11, and the appropriation sheet was then passed. Appropriation sheat No, 21, of the general fund, amounting to £547.30, was vassed. A number of vouchers for works on roads and bridges were referred to the proper com mittees, A number of small bills was rece by the various committees and order on the next appropriation she A resolution was passed directing the county clerk to advertise for bids in grading in section 2, 16, 12, The resolution appropriating $5,000 to pay for paving South Twenty-fourth street, Twentieth street south of Vinton, and Thirtieth strect north from Ames avenue, was rescinded, and the halance of the §,000 set aside for paving South Twenty-fourth und Viaton streets be used for grading State strect, Florence. ‘Turner introduced a resolution that the board proceed to the election of an engineer and superintendent of steam heating and ma- chinery at the new county hospital building, to take charge of such duties at $100 per month, and that he is a practical machizst and engineer. This resolution was referred back to the committee on construction and the clerk instructed to notify applicants Lo send in their credentials, ‘The board then adjourned untit Wednes- day afternoon, at which time they will ap poiut the judges aud clerks of election, Ll R MAIL SERVICE. mended 1 placed FAST The Time Between the Oceans Re- duced About Ten Hour Wasuixaroy, Oct. 26, —General Superin- tendent Bell, of the railway mail service, has made public an fwportant change in tho transcontinental fast mail service that will take effecy November 10, 1889, It is uo less than the reducing of the time from New York to San Francisco to 108 hours and forty-five minutes, saving of ten hours, and the time from San Francisco to Nork York has beén reduced to 111 hours and thirty minutes, that is four days and fif- teen and a half hours, a saving of mine sud @ half hours.

[Special Telegram to Tur Bee.|—Francis A. Riadle camo out vie- torious to-day in his celebrated legal conflict with Alfred Post. Riddle was I>ost's lawyer througnout the latter's brief but profitable manipulation of the famous freight claim bureau. Ho was his attorney for 1887, 188§ and 1880, and when Post discharged him, about June last, and returned to Chicago from a European flight on the advice of his new attorney, General Stiles, Riddle in & clmm for $12,400. One-third of this was for legal services and the remainder for money loaned.

England now in return reaped advantages from Amer vindication of those principles of eedom which animated the revolution, The system of government in _America com- bived that love of freedom, respect for law and desire for order, which formed the surest elements of national excellience and greatuess. It was not extravagance to say that al- though there were only $2,000,000 1n the thirteen states at the time of the revolution, the group of statesmen that proceeded from them were a match for any in the whole his- tory of the world, and were superfor to those of any one epoch. e e g Al B St. Paul's Fira Chiet Rilled.

No sere vices were heid. The relatives of the des ceased from Chicago and Springfield, T wero the only persons who followed tho re mains to their last resting place, They left for home on last evening's train, The inquest as to how the deceased came to her death was resumed yesterday morn- ing. Dr, F. 8, Thomas was the first witness called and testified as to the woman's mental condition. Did not think that her answers could be relied on. Thought it possivle that « person in hor condition could make rational auswers and was of the opinion that hor an. swers made later might bo more reliable than those mado when he saw her, Dr. D Macrao saw her Monday afternoon, and would be disposed to place confidence in hor statewonts, Said she didu't know how she was shot, but did not do it herself, Stated t Scott did not shoot her, The prisoner Scott was then examined, the jury going to the city jail to tako his testi- mony. He said the woman snapped the re. volver at the mirror, and then turned around, seemingly holaing the wun with both hand She pulled the trigger, when there was a ro- portand she fell. Had seen her unload the gun and snap it on previous occasions. Had not been drinking and did not have a bottle of whiskey. Had his revolver in his hand while in the varlor, but did not flourish it. Went o all the houses three or three times a weok to get the names of new girls. Has a wife and one child, and his father aiso lives in the family Oficer Joslyn was tho first witness called after dinner. Saw tho girl Monday afte noon, and questioned her. Said she kvew nothing about the shooting, d sho aidn't do itz didn’t think Scott did, because he had Do reason to; didn't know who did do it, Said she took thie gun out of Scott’s pocket, took out the cartridges, pownted it at tho gluss and pulled the trigier. Remombered no more about it, Next day she said she re- membered handing the gun back to Scott, Had seen Scott drink, but not to excoss, and never saw him under the influence of liquor. Knew Scott had been going with the de- ceased for two or three months, Ofticer Fowler was next called and testi- fled as follows: *'Scott asked me to go to the house to sell some tickets for our ball, as he said Bello haa promised to take two, My beat was on Upper Broadway, but it was Sunday night and everything was quiet, so T went. Came away and left him there, While coming down Upper Broadway Scott asked me 1o £o into u saloon, as he wanted to got & drink of whisky. He went n und I waited outside. Did not hear of the shooting for nearly an hour after it happened. As we were comiug down street he rushed into the street and jumped on a motor train that was running very fust. I don’t see how he man- aged to get on, About three minutes later he again stood before me and said: “That's that — --of a Bretz.” Bretz is the name of a motor line conductor.”® Blanche Clifton was recalled and stated positively that she saw Scott take two loaded cartridges out of his gun “at the foot of the Showed how ho “‘broke™ the gun and tracted the cartridg nio Sneathe was the next witness, Scott came to my house, in the ern part of the city, in June, and introduced himselt asa policeman. Said he wanted to get u respectable boarding place for a young lady friend, whom he had known since she was a little girl. d he couldn’t take her 10 his house because his wife was disposed to be coutrary und would not ugree to it. Paid a week’s board in advance and brought her there. Said she was to receive no gentleman callers, but that he might stop occasionally to see how she was getting along, as he had to go to the bridge every day. Got to coming 8o often that she objected, and told the wirl she must leave, after being there ten davs. She went to another place where he had engaged board for her. Heard her say she was afraid of Scott, did not like him, and had tried hard to shake him, but could not do 1t. He wanted her to go west with him, and leave his famity, but she did not want to, Wanted to tind 'some one going west by wagon, €0 that she could go and leave no trail by which he could follow her. Said she believed he would rather kill her than see her go with some one else. Scott was very jealous, and ne had brought her there to keep her uway from other call- ers. Later, decceased went to Omaha, and came back after awhile, and hved just north of the creek on Thi nth street. Met her a few times, and deccased always begged her not to reveal her hiding place to Scott,” ORicer Mullen testified that he urrested Scout, but did not see him searched at the station, aud aid not know whether or not Scott had a bottle of whisl Smelled bls breath as he was taking him to the station, and there was a strong odor of liquor. Did not think Scott was under the influence of Jiquor. Dr. Waterman was the last witness, and repeated his statements vreviously made to @ reporter, and which have been published. This was all the evidence on hand, and the ury then retired to make out a verdict, y discussed the situation for nearly an , when they returned the following ver- Th hou die ““We, the jurors, upon our oaths, do suy that Mrs. William Lad alias Lottie Le- land, came to ber death from a bullet from a revolver, and we believe, from all the cir- cumstances in evidence, that said rovolver was held in the hand of C. W. Scott.” This verdict was 1ot unexpected and meets with a general expression of approval, Tt does not convict Scott of murder, but it insures a full and complete investigation, when all of the facts, pro and con, will bo produced, i lieved that the vigilance of the ofs e prevented Scott fromn becoming fora buller yesterday morning, d 10 yesterday's 13ei_ the brothers and sisters of the deceased cailed at the sta- tion Friday evening to see the prisoner, One of the brothers appeared very neryous, and kept his right hand in his outside over~ coat pocket in a very suspicious manuer, and at the whispered request of a sister, a friend pulled him to one side and stated that the prisoner was not allowed to talk. Ho finally induced him to leave the jail for tho time.” Orders were then given to keep a close watch on the strangers, and if caught prowling about the station to lock them up. Yesterday morning the three brothers called au the police station and asked to be allowed 1o see or talk with Scott. City Marshal Guaneila entered _the juil proper, and after conferring with Scott it was de- cided to search the men before permitting them to see bim. Two of the men did not object to a search, but the third one did. A revolver of 32.caliber, each chamber loaded, was found in his possession. This was taken away from him, after which Scott was called out. The men took @& good look at him, but said nothing. Scolt was then returned to his cell. The men then took their departure, after receiving the weapon, On hauling it 10 the party from whom 1t was taken, he was informed that he had no right to y aconcealed weapon in thns state, to which he replied that he had right to do so. After their departure s hasty consuitation was Lad among the officald, which resulted in a warrant being sworn out for the arrest of the man who had the gun on the charge of carrying concealed weapons, and it was placed in the hands of Marshal Guanella to serve. The man kept out of sight, however, and loft on the evening trais. It 15 the opinion of the ofticers that tho brother fully intended to shoot Scott as soon as Le appeared, and 10 the jail for that purpose. The reason why the coroner’s jury went to the jul to examine Scott, instead of having him' taken o the room where the inquest was hold, was because the city marshal re- quested it, llfltinr( that ho was afraid that Scott would be killed if taken outside, As it was, ofticers were stationed at the wi dows when Scott was taken out of his cell into the marshal's oftice to prevent anyons shooting him from the outside. Scott was frightened, and he trembled as he d nervously from one window to an- other, Lo seo if an assassiu lurked near, He wis but partially reassured by the words of the marshal, and was evidoutly greatly re- lioved to get back to his cell, where u steel wall protectea him, Ono of the results which 1s an outcowe of the tragedy is the resignation of Ofcer Joslyn. He states that the mayor aemanded s rosignation yesterduy morning, and re- fused him apy hearing or opportunity to vin- dicate himseif. It is not probable, however, that bhe will be dismissed from the force with such a stain upon his name if It s his power to establish & vindication, He claims Lo be able Lo prove that the charges against him are untrue,
