4 v 4 THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ’Mr, Berlin's Prompt Mooting Re- form Schems Falls Very Flat. THE MORGUE MATTER AGAIN. Bomo Interesting Figures in Connec tion with the Stationery Con- tracts—~The Soldiers’ Re- lef Commission Selected. The Morgue Contract. Commissioner Berlin's pfompt mooting ro- dorm died an early and violent death at the hands of Chairman Anderson yesterday, mourned by the reporters and everybody who has business with the county board. The board was called to meet at 10 o'clack. At that hour Mr. Berlin and Mr. Corrigan were on hand. Mr. Turner came in a half hour late, but the chairman did not put in an appoear- ttho commissioners’ rovm until after ook, nor Harrigan was the first man on He had a little wrestle with tho com- missioners in turn on his proposition to re- scind the board’s contract with Drexel & Maul for furnishing a morgue for the county, Commissionor Corrigan was converted and agreed to introduce & resolution rescinding the board's action in the matter, Mr. Turner wasn't 8o easily convinced. ““The county will save $1,800 or $2,000 a year at least under this arrangement with Drexel & Maul,” he said, “and I am not red-hot in favor of making any change. We'l fix you up a morgue in the hospital whea that is completed.” Coroner Harrigan explained that he could get suitable rooms in the old exposition buildiug,. **Why don’t you go to Chicago and get the Auditorium at once and oe done with it asked Chairman Anderson, and then the Qioation was dropped until the board met at 11:80. Mr. Corrigan then offered a resolution re- cousidering the action of the boara in rent- ing a wuorgue from Drexel & Maul. He failed to get a secoud however, und proposed another one bringing the protést_of Coroner Harrigan before the board. The motion was adopted. The board didn’t know ex- actly what to do with the protest when thoy got it but tinally, aftor a good deal of pars eying, placed the document on file again and left it there, The assistant county atiorneys John Shea and T. J. Moriarity presented a po tion usking for an increase of salary to $1. s their county work demands all’ of their time. The matter was reforred to the com- mitteo on judiciary. The matter of electing threo members of the Soldiers' Relief commission was decided by ballot by _the selection of the following members: W. J. Monnt, ono year term; J. H. Hungate, two years term; Dr. R. M. Stone, three years term. The request of J. 5. House, county s veyor, for improvemonts in his office, referred to the cominitiee on court house ail. The claim of the First National bank against Ryan & Walsh for $1,700, was re- ferrea to the committee on construction. The committee on finance presented tne following estimate for expenses duriug the coming year, which was adopte: Court house and court expenses . $100,000 County and ity poor, County officers. . Printin Coroner nd al Advertising Total of general fund Road fund. . Bridge fund. Insune fund. Poor farm fand. Sinking fund.. Solaiers' relief committeo. L %000 Total of all funds ......... . $442,000 The salary of the commissioners’ clerk was increased from $100 to 3125 a month., ‘Tue contract for the county stationery and and blanks was awarded o the Republican Job Printing compauy. A comparison between the figures in the bia submitted by Henry Gibson and the fig- ures 'n his bill for stationery furmshed the county during October and November indi- cates the presence of a large-sized colorod individual in the woodpile. This bill is the one which the finance committee of the county comthissioners cut down about 25 per cent on the ground that the charges were extortionate. ' A few figures will serve to show whether the claims of the flnance committee were correct. 1n the bill referrea to voll books were charged at 81 each; 1n his bid Mr. Gib- son agrées to furnish the same kind of books for 50 conts each, and the lowest bid received lists poll books at 12.4 cents each, Election notices are charged in the bill at $L.05 cach; the bid quotes election notices at 12 cents each, and the lowest bid received quotes these same notices at 4 cents each, Lithograph noteheads were charged at the rate of $7 per thousand; Gibson’s bid gives them at $3.50 per thousand. The county has been payiug 41 cents each for “sennto” pads (large sheets of yellow writing paver in pads of 100 lhonh}; Mr. Gibson now offars to furnish them for 12 cents each, but the county ‘will gev them for 10 cents. The dockets used by the justices of the peace have cost $2.06 per auire, or §16.50 per dockot, but Mr, Gib- son thinks now he can furnish them for §12 each; the county will be provided with just- ice dockets now ai the rato of $4 oach. Criminal dockets have been costing $11 each but hereafter the county will get them for 85, M. Gibson hts beou charging 40 conts pot pound for sealing wax but it will be furnished for 12 cents per pound. Reporter's note ‘books, used by the court reporters, have been charged at the exorbitant rate of 83 cents each, but in his bid Gibson offers to furnish them at 143{ cents each. Many more examples mirbt be given to show the extortionate prices the county has been charged for stationery during the two years that Gibson had the contract, but those already quoted are sufiicient, During the past year there wus no contract for furnishing stationery aud the onl¥ thing which could be referred to in case of a difference of opinion was the bid submitted by Gibson and on which the sward was made. This bid was very incom- plete and only specified -the articles in the most general way, many of the most import- ant being omitted entirely, ‘The new specifioations, prepared by Act- ing Auditor Jobn Evans, contain everything in this line which 18 nceded in the county and are the first intelligent specifications ‘which have been supplied bidders. The fact that it tull all bidders on an equal footing is shown by the wholesale reduction made by Gibsov in his figures, he evidently appreciat- ing the fact that he would meet with sharp competition. ‘The commissioners hold a five-minute ses- sion yestorday wfternoon, A fow routive mutters were considered, and an sdjourn- ment tuken untll Saturday at 2 o'clock, ut Wwhich time the board will make up a jury list containing the names of 10 per cent of the voters of the county and submit the sawe 10 the clerk of the district court, — Waked Up Effectually.

The meeting of the International assocla- tion of tin, sheet iron and oornice workers is being held 1n this city, the first session baving been held yesterday afternoon at Washington hall, Twenty-three unions are represented in the convention, there being twenty-five delegates in attendance. The convention 18 held for the purpose of auditing the accounts of the various officers and devising ways and means to furtber the objects of the association. No question of special importance is to be brought up for consideration, The international association was organ- ized three years ago in Tol , O., at which time oniy five unions were represented. Dur- ing the first year this number was increased 10 eleven, and sinco that time the number has incroased rapidly, until there are now thirty unions in the association, with a total membership of 2,180, The international association is a non- striking body, and is organized for the pur- pose of educating its members to bo good mechanics, 1t has succeeded in reducing the nours of labor from ten per day to nine in y city where there is a union Rochester, N.

L continuo Examining Omaha's Water System, A party of distinguished gentlomen from Denver who have been visiting Omaha on a quiet tour of inspection, left for home last night. Mr. Dennis Sullivan, the president of the Denver Water company, accompanied by Colonel Joues of Reading, Pa., one of the directors of the compuny, honded a party of Donver capitalists who came hore to exam- ino the water system of Omaha. The party was composed of Messrs. Clark, Ordway aud Fagerburg of the council, and Root, Flem- ing and The:s. At 2:00 yesterday afternoon the fire de- partment gave an oxhibition of the throwing power of the mains at Tenth and Farnam, much to the wonder of the gentlemen from Denver, who said that the system in vogue here was the best they hud ever seen, The visitors were taxen out to Flocence and looked over the old water works plant lower down the river. Tne Florence plant excited thoir heartiest approval, and aftor looking Omaha over pretty thoroughly they left for home, expressing the liveliest admiration for the city, her streets and her buildings. The American Water Works company has secured the contract to establish a water system at Denver, and will soon commence the work. NO. 93, hat It Brought to Two Topeka Peo- ple—A Fortune Wisely Invested. On Tuesday, the 12th of November, the regular monthly drawing of The Louisiana State Lottery occurred and it broucht luck 10 two persons in this city, cach of whom held one-twentieth of ticket bearing the the No. “03," which drew the first capital prize of §300,000. A Democrat reporter took pains yesterday to ascertam what the fortu- nate holders of No. 03 had done with the money they got. Mrs. Margaret Villepique, who resides just outside the city limits, received her $15,000 in cash and deposited $5,00C in three difterent banks of the city, and entrusting the matter of its investment to a German friend, who is loaning it out at 8 per cent interest on ap- proved real estate security, The income will make Mrs, V. independent for life. Mr. and Mrs. Villepique came from Kaunsas City three years ago, where they had met with a heavy loss, They had considerable property, whicn was heavily mortgaged, and being unable to clear iv off lost it by foreclosure. It is to-day worth £80,000 though then it was held at only #10,000. Arriving in Topeka, they bought five acres of land, paying £150 down on it, and by raising garden truck, which they sold in the city, supported the family, and had the debt nearly paid off when Mrs. V. drew the £15,000 on her ticket. It may be imagined that life looks much brighwr to her than 1t did a month ago. The other onc-twentieth ticket was held by Dennis Northington, a colored man, en- gaged in delivering coal for the Green Coal company. He is a hard working economical man and it had beea his one ambition to some day be able to buy a Kansas farm and leave the city for more peaceful life in the country. He little thought this ambition would be realized so quickly, but on November 18th, the day after the drawing of the Louisiana State Lottety, he found himself the winner of a fortune—and & farm. He consented to remain a month longer with the Green Coal company and continue his teaming, und he is meantioie on the lookout for & good farm. He received his money ($15,000) through one of the national banks and has it safely de- posited until he is ready to useit. He started in life a slave and the lottery bas made him arich as well as a free citizen of the Sun- flower state. — [Topeka (Kas.) Democrat, December 9. The Tllustrated Concert. The stormy condition of the weather in- terfered somewhat with the attendance at the illustrated concert given under the auspices of the Ladies’ Aid society at Plymouth Congregational church, in Kountze place, last eveniong, but did not in the least mar the excellence of the programme pre- sented. After the pretty opening overture, “Davi the Shepherd,” played by Mr. Wolf, corne! ist, Master Lovetl Dunp, violinist, and Miss E. Bowie, pianist, two beautiful tableaux, *Almost Persuaded” and *‘Fully Persuad- ed,” were presented. ‘Uhe first represented @ snow-white angel beckoning a sinner to the cross; the next the sinner at the cross and the angel blessing her. Then followed a series of pratty illustrated views on canvas under the direcvion of Mr. room twas darkenod and the pictures thrown on the screen by a strong light. The views presented wera: ‘**America,” “Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep,” *‘Columbia,” **Sail- g snd a miscellaneous assortment, a large number being presented in each series. Most of the views were patriotic and many beautiful. A violin 80lo was played by Charley Hig- ns, a boy of sixteen, who displays extraor- inary talent fol ad of nis age. He plays with fimsh of a master. He received & deserved encore. Mr. Jules Lumbard, the famous campaign singer, followed with the bass solo, “*ihe Wanderer,” from Schubert. His voice re- tains much of its pristine richness and strength and his efforts were Liberally ap- plauded. Mrs. Sterrill rendered the “Flower Girl from Bevignam’ in a very pleasing manner. Her voice shows caroful culture, is flexible and musical. Master Lovell Dunn, & boy of fourteen, made his first appearanee in public as a vio- lin player. The lad was somewhat nervous, but acquitted himself very creditably. Miss E. Bowie, a contralto sin ren- dered *Ora Pro Nobis" in rich musical notes aod was warmly applauded, rs. phens played the accompanime nts for the singers, The closing number was & cornet, viohn aud piano trio. The programme throughout was of the highest churacter und the features much fiuer than most had anticipated. e Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for children teething is the family {wnelw- tor, 25 cents a bottle, —— BABIES JOINED FOR LIFE, Twin Girls “Mortised”” as Firmly as the Slamese Brothers. A six-months’-old double baby, **mor- tised twins,” a doctor called them, eame to town last night and took possessiol of the Girara house, says the Philadel- phia Press. Today it, or, rather, they, will take possession of the town at the dime museum, A score of physicians 1id court last night to the chilaven lor such they are, but today the geueni public, especially the mothers, will probavly swoop down on the curiosity for inspection, The double baby consists of two girls, each separate and absolutely distinct in aonatomy, but joined with an osseous Steveus.

The babies are joined topether by the trunk and lie on a pillow Wwith the feet over- lapping and heads In. opposite direc- tions. If both could sit up at once their faces would meet point by point, and each would be fifteen inches tall. Only one child can sit up 8¢ a time, and both can patiially assume the upright at one and the same time. * The names of the curiositiesare Pearl and Ruby Jones, duughters of Mrs. J. H. Jones of Tipton, Ind., about forty miles north from Indianapolis. They are a farmor’s daughiters, but on the sixth day after their birth in the little Indiana settlement over eight hundred people had managed to squeczo theimn- selves in uand out of the little home where plain John Jones had always been used to quiet. Ho is twenty-four yvoars of age and the mothor is twenty. They have one other child, a three-year-old girl, Dr. John Cooper assistod at the birth of the children and has been with them ever since that_oceassion, When the s and vewspaper men had in a private parlor at the Girard last ght, Dr. Cooper had the mother and the nurse bring in Pearl and Ruby_ on a pillow. As the iutcrested sdientific mon crowded about them, both began to crow and gesticulate with armsand legs, something liko a crabin the water, They were found to be unusually pretty children with laughing brown eyes and dark curly hair. From the first the doctors began to say sweet gs of them. Then they scoro of questions, and w ous know if there was one or two intestinal ities. It was the general opinion there was only one, and that in every other respect = the babies were absolutely independent of one auother. ~ Soon Pearl began to fret and Ruby kept on laugh- ing. Finally both™ cried lustily, and Ruby’s miserios were quickly dispelled by nursing at the maternal front. Pearl kept on ng until the pillow was re- versed pivot like, and nourishment was @iven her. The inspection was finished soon, and Pearl and Ruby were taken off to bed. Among the physicians present were Dr. B. M. Bradfield, Dr, L. Webster Fox, Dr. Joseph Leidy, jr., Dr. Thomas G. Morton, Dr. Thomns 'S, K. Morton, Dr. C. G. McGlaughlin, Dr. W. W. Lamb, Dr. Joseph Koerper, and Dr. W. Allwood Brown. Dr. Leidy has made a spocial study of monstrosities, and he at once pronounced it as “'a very unique specimen.” Dr. Larab said thatno sim- e had ever been known before, but he was afraid that teething would not be safely passed by the children. ngly pronounced ful monstrosity.” Jones is said to be devotedly ut- tached to her offspring, all the more so because of their infirmity. The chil- dren are comparatively healthy., One of them has had three sick spells and the other only two. The sickness of one in no w affects'the health of the other, but it was thé general opinion last night that in cast of the death of one the other could notlive. They will never be able to wallk.

County gives the details of the sad suicide of Miss Ami Custis, aged eighteen years, says a Richmond, Va., dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer. For several days she had been attending prayer meetings in the neighborhood, She went for- ward and knelt at the mourners’ bench as a penitent, She woptand cried very bitterly, and the congregation mado special appeals for her deliverance, but all seemed to avail nothing. At every service Miss Am1 would occupy her ac- customed seat at the mourners’ bench with weeping eyes and .a seemingly troubled conscienc On Sunday morning the young lady arose as the services were about to commence and suid. she hoped the congregation would all pray for her, as she could not any longer stand the burden of sin which 'sh ewas carrying. The congregation prayed for her and the preacher tried to comlort her, but still the burden did not seem to be moved. The poor girl prayed ana sobbed aloud. The meetings were held in an old school house, and in the yard was a well forty-five feet deep., Wiiile the congre- gation was singing a hymn Miss Curtis auietly arose, and, leaving the housey went quickly'to the well. This alarmed some of the congrega- tion who were watching her, and they rushed toward her, but before they reached bher she gave a ory and ex- claimed, *You need not pray for me any more.” She tiien plunged into the well with a terrible splash as her body struck the water forty-five feet below. Three women fainted, and a dozen others had to be carried home, Miss Curtis had excellent parents, and there was no blemish on her chargeter. — Prices of dvory.'
