The room was packed to suffocation with deeply interested saloonists, and the packing ex- tended far out into the adjoiming corvidor, With the exception of Mayor Broateh, whose little red face glowed like a setting sun, ana neryously cloudeq itself in a sickly blue huze of cigar smoke, the countenances of the com- misel seemed perfectly ut ease and evinced u stolid devotion to the task that at hand, Catherine Reulaod was the first individual to be pranced witain the rail. Catherine has & little snuggery at 801 North Sixteenth streot, where sho keeps a boarding hous: A strip of calico is drawn dowa over the bar on‘ Sunday, h:t &m“wk‘iu the place is kept open, r asking masuvy questions the bo:fi dwh{-d that Catherine might run boarding house part of her concern but the bar attachment. Max Schroeder was refused a license for 1728 5t. Mary’s avenue, for the reason that he already has three places provided for in the license line. Publio policy was the reason which the board gave for declining to give Chris Jenser th street duriug the next twelve months, saloon is only about fifty feet from Cass street school, and the board think that too close for the sake of the children's morals. A reconsideration William Darst to run his little **‘Annex” at 224 North Sixteenth street was entertained. Somebody got it into his head that Wilham had wine rooms in connection with his place. Darst came to the fronton call and explained the situation to the probable satisfaction of the board. After hearing the protests the board went into executive session, which occupied about balf an hour. The result was as follows: The application of August Schultz, 123 South Eleventh, was refuscd on the grounds of selling after midnight, Leon Kopold failed to get a ronewal be- cause 1t was claimed he sold liquor on elec- tion day and then tried to bribean officer not to tell on him, Licenses were granted to John B. Bohn, 2 North Twenty-fourth; Martin Henrick- 516 Cumings; Andrew S i James Carr, 1109 Farnam Cuming; John B, Bobn, teenth; Audrew Scheid, 2001 Pierce street. Hearing on the following appl sot for Monday, tomorrow, 2 o'clock: Henry Wiese, John Wolley, Herry Rahlff, . Hen- nicker, Joseph Boehn, Byron Clark, John Wright, Ernest Wetzig, Wiliiam Schippory John Gulk, Walderman & Krug, Owen ) Caffery, F. A, Balch, Henry Grack, Ketch- meark & Kyan, Ed Maurer, Walter Brandes, Justice Kessler, Hans Peterson, Ed Rothery, two. ‘The board witl meet at 11 o,clock Mouday to consider those applications on which there are no protests, ‘I'lie protested cases will be taken up at 2 o'clock that afternoon, Word was received by the board that the war department at Washington had frowned upon the protests made by the officers and other soldiers at Fort Omahs aguinst having saloons thers, the department saying that the army folks at the Fort exceeded their authority, or words to that effect. Altogether, there have been about seventy licenses granted thus far by the board, and twelve refused, This leaves about one hun- dred and forty yet to bo acted upon. There have been 223 upplications made, Last year 248 licenses were granted, Therefore, 1t now look { there would be about forty less saloons in Omaha this year than there were last. R The Park Commissioners. At a meeting of the park commissioners held Thursday afternoon a proposition was received from Mr. Soyder in which he agroed to donate to the city six acres owned by him ijolnlllf the tract offered by Ar. Miller, Lyman Richardsen and others for park purposes, Mr, Snyder desires to re- serve the right of & road across big tract, After the regular business of the meeting the matter of granting the right of way across the corner of Hanscom park to the Omaha street railway company was taken up and discussed at length, Judge Lake held that the comunuissioners had no right to Rrant the desired right of way, as that power rested entirely with the council, Dr, Miller said the board have been unaunimously in favor of granting the right of way, but it had no power to do 80 in the face of the ob- jections of the donor ana the veto of the hat ended the matter,” said the ut 1 want to say that I had no ob- Jection to the company crossing the parlk, and have not had siuce the outset.

Millard's tender feelings for the Douglas street bridge corporation were badly jarred when he read what seomed to him unjust attacks upon its grasping, souiless uature in reports of the case recently concluded before Judge Dundy where- in certain parties got judgement for something like $5.600 which must be paid. Said he: “Ivwas not s question of desire on our part to shirk any debt we may have incurred. Those fellows were never lobbyists of ours and we certainly owed them nothing oo that score. We never n any lobbyists. ot Washinglon against the Central for supremiacy was made before the secretary of wdF ana not in congress. The bill grauting us permission to build a bridge was passod twelve mouths before those par- ties aid anything. for which ¥ claim pay. of the refusal to allow”| They performed some - work, amount- ing to probably €300, but we paid then $500. In bringing the suit for 5,000, however, they contended that this amount was only a coctingent fee. *The truth is we were euchered, because our eftorney failed to give tho matter his at- tenti o and letit go by default. ‘Lhe other side Laturally took. advantage of his negli- Rence, jumped 1n and got their judgment be- fore we could do anything.” ——— THE NEWCASILE MINES, What Effect They Will Have on Omaha's Coal Supply. The coal dealers of Omaha are not very jubilant. The amount and exwentof cold weather thus far fails to satisfy the full bent of their pleasure. The demands upon them for fuel, while comparatively large, fell short of expectations; consequently no occa- sion has yot arise to justify an advance in prices. The cold snap last week caused u slight ncrease of activity for two or three days, and dealers were kept busy filling or- ders, but no such thing as a run against the supply constantly on hand can be hoped for this winter, nor ever again, for that matter. ‘Within thirty days Omaha will be made secure against the possibilities of another coal famine except in the eveut of some ex- tremely unavoidable circamstance. How- ever, an enormous quantity 18 required to keep all the big engines, furnaces and fami- lies now concentratsd here going. The average price at present is about $9 per ton, aud it has not varied from that fig- ure within a year, As s0on as the Newcastle mines lin Wyom- ing commence to be worked, which will be as early as Fobruary 1, it {s hoped this price may be reduced slightly. Fredictions are made that the Newcastle company will de- liver coal in Omaha at §.50 and may be $6 per ton, The Union Pucific charges $7 for its Rock Springs coal, This price never varies, The company's officials say that they can not ship it in for any less, though if the Burlington, which is to bandle all the Newcastle output, makes a 86 rate they will have to meet it, All reports say that the Newcastle coal is equal in every respect to that mimned at Rock Springs, aud there is enough in sight to supply the entire state of Nebraska for ten years, For consumption in Omana the Union Pacific is supplying five carloads & day. 1 But this is » very small portion of the amount used, much more comes from. southwestern Missouri and Kansas, con- siderable from Colorado, some from lowa, lots of hard coal from Pennsylvania, and llinols is not left oat. It has been intimated that the Burlington company, or rather men officially connected with the Bnriiogton road, owned the New- castle mines, but investigation gl’ovul that such is not the case. Kilpatrick Brothers & Collins, the railroad contractors of Beatrice, are the sole owners, except J. B. Weston, who discovered the'mines and holds & small interest. They have been putting up a lot of expensive machinery aud expect to be ready for operations on u large scale within the next four weeis. The Burlington is interested to this extent, that it will have a monopoly on transportation to market of all coal taken out at that point. Before extend- ing their line into the region where this vast crop of fuel lies the officials made a thorough investigation and satisfled ‘them-. selves that there were no risks to run, New Law Firm. G. W. Ambrose and £d R. Dufie have formed a coparinership under the firm name of Ambrose & Dufle. Mr, Ambrose is an old-time lawyer of this city and Mr, Dufiie has been a resident about ‘three years.§gHe came to this city from lowa, where he "was for eigut_years one of the district court judees. Both these gentlewen stand as law- yors at the head of tneir profession, with nearly o quarter of a century of experience to guide thew. The firw is & strong one. - The Happy Hour Club. The Happy Hour club gave its third social last Friday evening at Masonic hall, It was one of the wmost brilliant sociul successes of the season. The programme was long and number of extras were also added. The attendance wi larger than &t previous dunces given by the club, which added greatly o the plessure aud brillisucy of the occasion, THE NEW COUNTY -HOSPITAL, It Will be Officially Irspected by the Commissioners Tomorrow. WHERE IS ARCHITECT MEYERS? A Large Bill of Extras to be Pre- sented by the Contractors Eeveral Omticial Bonds Approved. The Commissioners. The county commissioners will assemble tomorrow morning for the purpose of going ouv to the new county hospital and inspect- ing it. They were notifled 1ast Saturday by Ryan & Walsh that the building was com- pleted and ready to turn over. Architect Meyers was notided by telegraph the same day and requested to be present tomorrow to go over.the building with the commission- ers. Nothing has been heard from Mr. Meoyers. Superintendent Coots says he thinks he is in California, Mr. Coots will accompany the commissioners on thewr trip of inspection. The question has been raised ‘whether tho commissioners will accept the building with- out the approval of Architect Meyers, If they accept it they cannot hold Meyers if there 18 any discrepancy. There 18 nothing in the articles of agreement between Meyers and the commissioners, which requires his presence here at all, and nothing in the con- tract with Ryan & Walsh, which provides for its acceptanse by Meyers, ‘The acceptance of the b ing by the com- missioners will not be tho last act in the hos- pital farce by any means, The contractors have signified thoir intention of submitting & bill for *‘extras,” amounting to from $30,000 10 $50,000, They refuse to stute what their claim for extras is based on, Commissioners Mount, Turner and An- derson were the only members of the county board present yesterday, Peter Goos presented a remonstrance against the assessment on his Jackson street property. He asked that he be taxed only on the property, as he bad not yet vaid for the improvements, and did not want to be as- sessed for what he owed. The communica- tion was placed on file. The official bonds of the following county officers were approved;,, Adam Snyder, treasurer; J. C. Christeuson, assessor Ninth ward; F. J.

Yestorday's game resulted ¢ to 0 in their favor.’ The positions of the two teams were as follows: Burkets, Searle first rush, Haskell second, Morse goal tend, Willer half back and Alexander center. Two Orphans, Arnoid first rush, Christian sec- ond, Seifkin goal tend, Staley half back and Beindorff center. Of the six goals secured four were achieved by the masterly skill of young Hasgell, who 18 a_promising young player and the other two by Scarle, who is also doing splendid work.

A New Legal Point, A question of criminal proceedure, and one never before passed upoain Nevraska, which will be of interest to the practitioner in that brunch of the legal profession, w ruled upon by Judge kson of the disteict court, a day or two since. W. H. Martin was arrested, charged with grand larceny, and given a preliminary ex- amination before the police judge at South Omaha by whom, in defauit of bail, he was committed to the county jail to await trial at the next term of the district court. Martin's attorney filed a potition for and ubtained a writ of habeas corpus upon the ground that the evidence upon which the petitioner was bound over was insufiicient to establish ‘“‘probable cause’ to believe him guilty of the offense charged. As the testimony given before the examining magistrate had not been preserved, the attorney sought to have the witnesses called and their testimony heard de novo by Judge Clarkson, The as- sistant county attorney strenuously objected to such a procedure as not contemplated or warranted by the Nebraska statutes relating to habeas corpus. After argument upon sev- eral oécasions the court finally held that the witnesses might be called and the hearing proceeded with, which hearing was had in room 2 of the district court yesterday and Murtin was released. Judge Ciarkson's ruling in effect gives a prisoner contined in jail to await trial an ap- peal, by the writ of habeas corpus, {rom the action of the examining magistrate upon a showing Lo the court that sufficient testis mony has not been elicited at his prehmis nary examination to show ‘‘probable cause,” ‘The county attorney will take the matter to the supreme court, deeming the precedent established of sufficient importance as to re- quire either the approval or dissent of that tribunal. Wheel Club Notes, Theater parties amongst the P, W.

The masquerade at the Coliseum New Year eve was a grand affair, and many of the costumes were as gorgeous as beautiful, For a character costume the one of cow boy took the belt, as there wasu't auything lack- ing pertaiving to the suit of one of these “centaurs of the prairies.”’ The leather leg- ins, corduroy breeches, sombrero, flowing locks, 1n short everything was there, and & lady In the sudience really mistook * Billy the Swell” for a real cowboy.
