GARRULOUS 0N GARBAGE. Councilmen Consider the Mayor's Suspension of Goldsmith. THE MARKET HOUSE ORDINANCE. A Proposition For Bonds Will Be Bubmitted—The Contracts For Strect Lighting— Municipal Matte The Council, The council chamber was night. Every room in the lobby and standing space held at a premwum. Garbage Master Goldsmith, flanked by a corps of his assistants, occupied dress circle aeats, while Brother-i JAw Lazarus did the Mephistophles waiting act from the aoor- way. The larger part of the audience was present ovidently in expectation of o row thut would probably bo the result of the mayor's suspension of the garbage master, when 1t came up before the council. The expectant ones were uot disappointed. The second paper picked up by Clerk Southard was from the mayor, and was as follows: “I have the honor to state that I have sus- pended Garbage Master Goldsmith for irreg- ularities in thedischarge of hisduties as such, 1 bave reason to believe that Mr. Goldsmith has charged the owners of dead animals the foes authorized by the ordinance and again collected from the city. I also have reason to beiieve that Mr, Goldsmith has collected Py from tho city for animals allegzed to have een thrown into the river which were never deposited there, | have numerous complaints that Mr, Goldsmith has collected from own- ers of biocks for garbage for the block and has a second time collected from the tenants thercof. 1 respoctiully r N mittee be appointed to inyestizate these charges, before which I will take pleasure i laying the proofs now in my possession.” Mr, Ford moved that the cowmmunication Ve referred to tho commuitiec on po or offered an ame; 1ompor spension be confirmed, and that the matter go to a special commitiee for investigation.

Then Mr. Hascall made a speech—same old speech, Mr. Lowry wanted the matter to o to the police committee, and when the vote on Mr, \'thelm"l amendment was taken there were oight councilmen on either tion. President Leo voted in the afirmative and declared the motion adopted. Mr. Has- call raised the point of order that to suspend an officer a majority of the entire council was required. ‘The point was well taken and & new vote taken, resulting: Aycs—Bailey, Burnham, Chaffes, Couns- man, Davis, Shriver, Van Camip, Wheeler and Lee—y. woes—Bedford, Boyd, Ford, Hasc par, Lowry, O'Connor and Snyder—: Saunders absent, The temporury suspension motion was 1ost, but Mr. Wlhiceler renewed his motion to have " the matter referred to a special com- mittee, and the motion was adopted. The chair appointed Messrs. Davis, Shriver and Snyder as the investigating comumiittee, and the council instructed them to huve a short- hund report of the investigation made and reported back to the coun "The supervisors of registration were or- dered to sit at tue same bvlaces as at the county election to receive registration of Yoters for the special and city elections. A petition asking for a chunge of grade of Thirty-sixth strect from Hualf Howard to Jackson, was granted. Harry Counsman, deputy city clerk, was granted a week’s leave of absence. A petition for the establishment of the grade of Decawr street from Twenty-sev- enth strect to Twenty-ninth street, was referred to the committee on grades and grading. A petition asking that a third voting pro- cinct be created in the Second ward, was granted and the city uttorney instructed to Pprepare the necessary ordinance. - The appraisers on the opening of Thirteenth street to the old county road reported, assess- ing damages in the sum of $4,500. The report was roferred to the committee on streets and alloys. ‘The board of public works was instructed to have Cass and Calitornia strests swept from 'Twentieth to ‘T'wenty-second stroets. The. retrenchment policy of the admin- istrator was inuugurated by a resolution offered by Mr. Kuspar instructing the super- intendent of plumbing to lay off one of his men. The resolution went to the committeo on sowerage. ‘Tho city attorney made a report upon the resolution introduced by Mr. Wheeler, pro- viding that *‘no warrants shall hereafter be drawn agaiust any special lovy until the fifty duys bave expired in which the prop- erty owners are allowed to pay their- taxes ‘without interest,” The city atto holds thatso far as such a proceed affects those who bave heretofore contracted with the city upon the understanding that the ‘warrants for the work would be drawn im- mediately upon the completion thereof and the ascertainment of the amount due, it would b8 of questionable validity. He also recommended that the resolution bemodified 80 that iv will not affect any contracts en- tered into before its passage. In all contracts. subject to such & rule a clause should be in- sorted embodying thut condition. I'he re- port was adopted, ‘William Anderson was appointed super- wisor of registration in the first dist of the Highth ward to succeed J. H. Winspear, ‘Who has removed frow the ward, ‘The council decided to meet at 10 o’clock this morning as u board of equalization on the general levy aud on November 20 as a board of equalization on a special levy. According to the report of the board of health there were seventy-five deaths and i}:} births in Omaba in the month of Octo~ r. The contract with F. J. Peterson for grad- ing Mercer avenue from Lowe avenue to ‘Vista street was approved, ‘The street commissioner reported that he had expended $1,357.58 in _street improve- ments for the week ending November 10, D. M. Steele & Co. presented a communi- cation, through Mayor Broatch, asking that they be reiieved from the order requiring the lowering of the sidewalks in front of their store on Thirteonth and Harney streets, 88 they expect to move into a new buiiding in the spring and now have a large amount of goods stored under the sidewalk. The re- qQuest was granted. 5 The committec on grades and grading re- ported thut the appraisers of damages for the proposed change of the grade of -Twenty- ‘seventh street from St. Mary's avenue to Leavenworth stroet, reportod that the ap- praisers had assessed damages to parties Wwho had waived damages. I'he report was accepted and the mayor requested to appoint new appraisers for the job in question. ‘That old, almost forgotien bid for streey lighting cawe up again on o report from the commitiee on gas and electric lights, The revort recommended that contracts be made with the ‘Lhompson-Houston Electric Light company for 100 arc lights to be used in the business center at §175 er light per annum; and with the Omaha Gas manufacturing company for street lights outside of the district covered by the electrio light com- Ppany, at §25 per aunum for each lanp. mpanying the report was a communi- cation from President Murphy, of the gas company, Mr. Murphy writes that he regrets the differences that exist between the com- pany and the city with refarence to the pay- ment of the city’s little bill, and, further, be- lieves that these differences can’ be satisfac- torily adjusted by a conference, which he usks between the gasycompany and a com- mittee from the council, e comuittea on &as and electric lights was apoointed a con- feorencs committee Lo meet with the gas com- cked last wus taken de of tho ques- pany. ‘The ordinance deeding the proposed unimn depot site to the Omaha Union B:lm ocom- Y v'lduucommmad vntil after election. ordinance deeding lot 3, iu block 136, to Union Pacitic oomn?ny was pussed, ‘The ordinance providing for the establis h- ment of a market house and submitling a wnwuon to yote bonds in the sum of $35, for tho purchiuso of tho Kxposition buud for the pur waus antroduced, and tbe for holding the election fixed for the gencral oity election Tuesday, December 8. Mr. Burnham wasn't satisfied with tue ordinance, as he understood that there is no satisfuctory understanding with tne owner of the ground on which the building i8 located relative to the lease of the ground. It would further omburrass the city in voting bonds for purposes more needed than market house, such as fire horses and a new city hull. The present owners of the building, Mr, Burnham said, hud made a magnificent failure of their investment in the exposition enterprise and were trying to unload their burden on the city. Mr. Wheeler presented an apalliog array of statistios showing that a market in Omaha was the one thing needful. On motion of Mr, Hascall the ordinance was amended so as to make its effect conai tional upon the willingness of Mr, Popple- ton to ailow a transfer of the lease of the ground.

Last night about 1:30 a cab containing a Indy and gentleman drove up to the police station, and, the driver dismounting, came inside and said the lady wanted an offl- cer. Sergeant Ormsby responded, and the wonan, who said she is the wifo of the preseription cierk in B drug storo in Council i3inffs, asked that a policcmin be sent with her to & Niuth street dive, where he: ushand has been in the habit of staying for o long ume, instead of reposing st home, She wanted to take him homwe, she said, and did not want hun arrested. As a_matter of course, her re- quest was dented and she was informod that she must procure a warrant forher r ant spouse, She drove away very much disap- pointed. The woman's name was formerly Bennett, and she has been married to the man whose name she refused to give about a year, dur- ing which time she claims that he has shamefully neglected her.

During the four acts o great many ineidental opportunities are offered these two old cronies to do some nice work, -nd they take advantago of them. The comedy and pathos are blended beautifuily, And there is just enough plot running through the story to keep up a lively interest. Mr. Sully has succeedea in discoveriog an- other boy actor, whom he bills as Master Tommy, and who gives promiss of becoming the equal of Master Jamsey, who ‘was with him 80 many seasons. “The Burglar” drew another good audi- ence ogain last night to the grand opera ouse, and the performance elicited as much nterest as on the first presentation of the picce. ——— An Oftioer Injured.

At the corner of Ninth and Dodge he saw two men busily engaged in putting ® head ,on & third, and ran to the latter’s assistance. ‘U'he two men showed fight and the officer was obliged to ply his club vigorously. He soon had the fellows at his mercy and battered them both until they cried quit. 1n the melee Fleming received a cut in the knee that is. quite sorious. ‘T'he men gave their names as Jumes Gavin and J.

A GREAT CITY IN THE NORTH What Yankton is and What Promises to Be. it IN EASY REACH OF OMAHA. A Rich and Rapidly Growing Field Which the Basiness Mon of Nes braska's Metropolis Shoald Look After at Onca. Fact Yaxkroy, S, D, Nov. l1,—[Speciul to Tne Ber.|—A visit to Yankton, the metrop- olis of South Dakota, is vewarded most liber- ally by the many schewmes of interest await ing the visitor whethor he be a mero sight- seer or is scoking opportunities for invest- ment, The first scene that meets the eye is that of a beautifully located ecity of about six thouvsand inhabitants, with broad macadam- ized streets and avenues dotted throughout with long rows of cedar, maple and pine on either side between tho sidewalk and curb, abundantly watered with streams of over- flowing artesian water fresh from the nu- merous wells throughout the city und upon the adjacent foothills, spouting forth their fmmense volumes of from 2,000 to 4,000 gal- lons of water every minute of the hour, duy and night the year round. 'Ihis, together with the many beautifully designed resi- deunces and coitages of the gothic, Roman and Queon Anne styleof architecture stand- ing back a modest distance from the street in the midst of an abundance of shade and well preserved and closoly trimmed iawns,at once a new arrival with the idea that this is averitable paradise. And so it is, Yank- ton will comparo favorably with any of ti uoted garden-spots of the Pacitic slope, and it requires but a brief tour through the busi- portion of the city to becone entirely convinced of the great volume of commerce being carried on, On the one side ean be witnessed the pid coustruction of several large brick business blocks. while the activ- ity of her factories (and Yaukton has more of themn than uny other city of her size west of Chicago), at once indicates to the strangor that Yunkton is unquestionably ¢ ined to be the largest and commercially the most important vity in the great west within the short period of flve or ten vears, Her man- ufucturiog interests are assuming such pro- nortions thit jobbers are turning their atten- tion to hor market for their supplies, and her uolimited resources for hundreds of miles to the west and northwest guarantee to ier a_permanency in the volume of trads uvequalled by any city in the west, not ex- cepting Omahn and Kansas city The *Jim River' valloy, near the intersec- tion of which with the Missourivalley, Yank- ton is located, is one of the most extensive in area, one of the most fertile and one of the greatest swock ruising sections in the north- west.

General merchandise 330,000 Hay 260,000 While this is a most excellent showing for Yaukton yet it pales into mere nothingness when compared with the enormous output of all such products from the wonderful pro- ductive valley of the James river, ‘I'ravers- ing the entire length of South Dakota north and south for a distance of 500 miles, and with proper railway tacilities this immense traflic would be diverted to Yankton, Omaha and the south, Delays are ¢ inly danger- ous for Omaha in this resvect. Should the business relations as a new state once be- como fixed with St. Puul and Chicago it will be exceedingly difficult to change thom. Now while the new atate is forming, population increasing and new busivess developing .Omahashould secure communication through Yankton with South Dakota and hereby obtain a fair proportion of an immense vol- ume of trade, but without direct railway connection her chances are diminishing day by day. Chicago and Minneapolis, which have direcy railway facilities are working hard for this trade, whilo Omaba, witn ail wealth, has failed to penatrate the new fleld at all, An extension of the St Paul, Minue- apolis & Omaha railway from Pender to Wakefleld, a distance of twelve miles, and from Hartington to Yankton, twenty uiles, ut a cost not to exceed $0,000, would ac- complish this purpose and give Omaha an air line to Yankton, where counections can be made with the Milwaukee and Northwestern systems expsnding the entire length and breadth of South Da- kota. Yunkton waats this connection and will aid very materially in securing Omaha needs it and must have it or lose this trade. ‘The projected line from Yankton to Nor- folk to conuect with the Union Pavific at the latter place will now—since the Union Pa- cific has been absorbed by the Vanderbilt northwestern interests—-have to conncet with identically the same system at Norfolk that it would at Hartington, Then agamn with the Harvington connection and the gap of thirty-four miles between Sioux Fails und Centerville, which is also on the Northwest- ern system, Omaha would have a direct through line to Yunkton, Sioux Fulls, Water- town, Huron, Pigrre und all points 1 Soutt Dakota on that system while at Yankto: close convection can be make with the Co cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul ralway, which runs two pus®onger und weil traics euch way daily. ‘This would give Owaba sod Yankton railway facilitios entirely indepand- ent of Sioux City, where bad connections and serious delays boih to passengers uud freight are now encountered, 1t now requires Lwo nights and one day to go from Omaba 1o Yankton and return, although the distauce 18 only 150 wiles, With the line proposed it would ounly require about five {luurl each WAY. Sioux City 403,000 450,000 78,000 14,000 is now reaching out to the southwest, northwest and in fact all directions with @an eurnestuess that shows her determination to capture and centralize the trade at that point. 'I'ie most commeudable part of her efforts is the fact that ber citizens are umted n makiog large expenditures and actually building roads into territory which should and could be controlied by Omaha i the same determina- tion and efforts were made. Yankton county which is situated at the Intersection of the James river valley with that of the Missouri valley in South Dakela, is the best agricultural county in the state, and is in tne very heart of the corn produc- \ ble. fng belt. The soil i black loam and belng | vostm underlined with GH§ subsoil retains the moisture, thereby” jtithstanding drouths.

It is indeed an_ideal power, cheap, nnvarying and. avsolutely free from risk or danger,” Of the “any diffcrent factories in Yank- ton, the most iinportant of all is the Western Portland Coment company’s plant now being constructed at an_enormous expenditure of capital, over one hundred thousand dollurs having already been appropriated by the company, and the greater portion of the amount already expended. Upwards of one lundred wen are now employed in the erec- tion of the vrincipal buildings snd it will consume at least five or six months before it is ready for overation. The company is composed of some of the heaviest capitalisis in Wisconsin, and success is assured from ave been making prac- fic tests of the materials 1o the different cement works in Awerica for the pust three The reports of numerous experts, with results most flattering in each and overy instance, are sufficient to warrant the prediction of complete success, ‘T'he com- pauy has practical men from the famous Portland cement works in charge of the construotion of the works, and as they own about one thousand acres of chalk rock and clay bluffs on the Nebraska and Dakota side of the Missouri river, from which the finest Portland cement is manufacturad, there is every reason to expect great results from his “enterprise. The works will have a capacity of one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty barrels per day, and when running full force will give employment to several hundred men. Oune hundred prac- tical operatives and chewmnists will be em- ployed at first, which, owing to the imineuse amount of work to be done, will nardly be before the Ist of June next.

A much dissatisfied if not thoroughly ex- asperated mdiviaual was George . Boulton when he arose from his troubled couch yes- terday morning and took a surreptitious peen at the morning papers, to see what they had to say regarding his prosecution of the Sims’ perjury case on the day before. Krom certain experiences of thé past Mr. Boulton had reason to believe that the papers and public generally did not put the most implicit faith in his alleged prosecutions, and he wus, therefore, a little doubtful as to what their verdicy might be 1n this case, It can hardly be said thut he was greatly disappoinied, yet he was as far from being pleased as could well be imagined. He desmed that he was being unjustly treated, and a large, voluptuous feeling of indignation weiled up and loaged against the base of his collar but- ton. Ho bastened to the court of 'Squire Bar- nett, where e had met the enemy and been knocked out on the preceding day, and aired his views on newspaper reporters and other landred subjects, He finally stated that no reporter could interfore with him, snd vouchsafed the information that ne of them had been guilty of c tempt of court and must be punished. He was a wolf and it was his day to howl, and he did not propose to see the court trifled with, any more thao it was lis inten- tion to calmiy and quietly submit to any such imposition as he was being made the victim of in some of the published reports. He then intimuted that a BEE reporter must be taken in out of the wet and dealt with according to law, as un unhappy exumpla of the resuits of interfering with the business end of justice. He mada a dash at the ink well, and after a brief but_spirited contest with a ven he majestically filed a paper with the court and stalked loudly down to the sLreet, leaving an CXagRerated sic-semper- tyrannis atmospbere behind him, The paper was beaded “'State of fowa va Jacob Sims.

The *“afdavit and showing’ was not SWOrn o, 80 00 Warrant was issued, and the paper placidly and innocently reposed on tho Judge's desk during the day. ‘Ihe cross-examination of the prosecuting witness, Crow, was resumed when court opened in the morning, and was vigorously continued for some time, during wiich the defendant's counsel apparentiy made his life a burden, avd his testimony on direct exami- patiom a badly mixed up lot of evidence ‘Tue state Lthen rested, and the defendant, Jacob 3ims, was placed on the stand, His direct examination did not occupy wmuch time, and be was then turned over to the tenaer mercy of Mr. Boulton. ‘I'ie inquisitor had several points on which ne desired enlightesment, and the witness was kept busy until diuner time, When court convened in the afternoon the effects of @ Kood ainuer had made @ favorable rehants, and | change in Mr, Boulton's mood, ana _he wae foeling 8o good natured thap after Mr. Mo- Cabe had consured him severely for making sensoless interruptions, ho replied that hé Sdidn’t care what the gentleman said about him.” Said he: “Ho can abuse me all he wants to, and then have it all published in the nowspaperse again—get some shyster paper to publish it. 1 dou't care anything about that,” He then began an alloged are gument in support of his objection, and wound up with the statoment that Sims and the law and order loague had matured a nice little plan to “milk" the saloon men. noy Kinow how easy 1t is to put up thesa jobs, and then they think thoy will get Barnett to de- cide m their favor, and he will do it was the parting shot of the attorney as he re- sumed his soat. *Much obliged to y the court, severoly u, Mr. Boulton," said Lhe conrt has toler- ated your interfersuce in the trial of th case for hours. Your objections and lengthy arguments huve been patiently listened t but I want to tell you right nere that I don Propose to liston to any more such foolishe nes “Well, riess 1 know how to manago my own business,” was Boulton's sullen answer, “And 1 may state that the court is in & similar position,” replied his honor with considerable asperity, and the cross-exami nation of M. Sims was resumed. “Mr. Sims, why did you nstitute proceed- ings axainst Mr, Crow “‘Beeause, as attorney for the law and order loague, I was so instructed by Mr. Overton." ;‘\\‘hm made you think he owned the props erty I was 8o wformed, and Mr. Gray had also commenced a suit against him, and [ did not think Mr. Gray was acting in good faith."” “Why didn't you think so 1" “rom what had been told me, and rumors current in the city.” “1 suppose they were the rumors wiven this Bee institution, weren't theyt snarled the questione 1 don't know anything about that." “*Didn’t you contrivo to huve an interview with Lne Bee every day or two *1 did not.” “Well, who told you that you say you heard *There were several parties—Mr, dors, L.

Overton wae the next witness called, und his testimony simply corrovorated that of Sims. ; The state then called John Lindt in re- buttal, but he knew nothing of importance They then called Dan Carrigg for the pu pose of rebutting the testimony of Sims. This was objected to, on the ground that the truth of the report had nothing to do with its being circulated, aud was sustained, “Iid you ever see me in the Mint?" was the next question asked by Boulton, “Yes, you have tried to get a drink thero more thun once, but you couldn’v get it be- cause you couldw't ‘pay for it, and they wouldn't trust you.” This was the last straw, practically admitted that h d had enough, As a spectator remarked, *‘They had poured tho goup into him for throe straizhthours,” yet he stood at his post Like a little man, and chokingly called for more. The tureen proved tao capacious, however, and Boulton had 1o succumb, He was there ready to argue his case, which be did with a venge- ance, He made a bitter attack on the clorgy, the “'God-and-morally-folks” and the law aud order lcague, and had quite a little cir- cus all to himself before he got through, After the arguments had been heard the case was submitted to -the court, who promptly discharged the defendant and taxed up the costs to the prosecuting wite ness., In passing upon the case he took occusion o severely censure Boulton for his unjust insmuations apd tho aspersions cast upon @ oumber of the must respectable, peuceable ana law-ubiding residents of the city. The result was not uupxpected. and the prosecution did not tarry very long to discuss the case after the dec dered, your and Boulton e — Arrested on & Serious Charge, Sheriff J.
