THE 0MAHA SCHOOL BONDS. Return of the Committes of the Board from Lincoln. AUDITOR BENTON'S POSITION, Attorney Estelle Favors Taking the Matter to the Supreme Court for a Settlement of All Disputed Points, Wants It Settled by the Coucts, President Goodman, W. S. Poppleton, chairman of the judiciary committee, Secre tary Piper and Lee Estelle, attorney of the board of education, returned yesterday from Lincoln, where they haa gone to confer with State Auditor Benton concerning his refusal 10 register the school bonds voted at the lust electio Mr. Goodman statea night that Mr. Henton he hadu’t been seen by anyone who wns interested in or opposed to the bonds, and knew nothing of whether the bonds had re- ceived a majority of all the votes cast at the election or not. Ho had taken the history of the bonds as furnished by the board, and had based his opinion entirely upon the question of levying a tax to pay the intorest on the bords, Mr. Benton also said that all bonas issued contained an interest clause. The delogation calied his attention to the fact that the former school bonds did not contain any such clause, He looked up the matter and found the statemonts W but said his predecessor must tave overlooked this point. He said he should decline to register the bonds as long s e wig of the opinion that they should contain the clause mentioned Attorney Istelle was also seen and stated At tho outset that it was policy ajid sound bueineas sense to have u decision of the su preme court on the mattor, since the ques. tion had been rased. He stated that the Proposition submitted at the last election was & copy of the oue submitted the election of 1558, which was prep: by Mr. W. i, Connell, und 1t was hardly pos- le that a man of Mr. Conuell's ubility should make a mistake in a matter of that sort. “The law provides the manner in which the interest shall be paid,” said Mr. Estelle, “ana also provides for a sinking fund for the payment of the bouds themselves, ‘The law says tho school board shall certify to the ity council the per cent ot levy they require for the payment of the interest. Heretofore the interest on all bonds has been paid from the general fund, In the bonds for $200,000 which were 1ssued some e ago there was no provision for levying & tax for the payment of the interest. ““If the superior court holds that in order to entitle these bonds to registration it is necessary for the proclamation to contain a provision for levying a tux for puyment of the bond and interest, it will be judicial leg- islation, for it is not iv the school law. *‘Unless the school board directs other said Mir. Estelle, “I shall at once apply for a writof mandamus from the su preme court. I shall aiso endeavor to have the supreme court pass upon every conceiva- ble point which can bo raised concerning the bonds, 1shall also demand an opinion ou the question whether the bonds must have a majority of ull the votes cast at the election or a majority of the votes cast on the bond proposition.” The board has received two opinions on this question from prominent attorneys and they ure directly contrary to one another. ‘here is another thing,” Mr. Estelle con- cluded, *‘which 18 of interest in this con- nection.

He called a couple of clerks and gave them chase. When the fellows saw that they would be over taken they drovped the cloth and jumped a fenco. One of them was ocaught, but the other escaped.

Thefire was caused by the ignition of gasoline which leaked from the tank of the stove. Mr. Mullen, tue prin cipal owner of the works, haa just filled tho tank and did not notice that the burner was left open. When he went to light the fire several minutes later, the inflammable fluid on the floor became ignited and the blaze that instantly flashed up filled the whole side of the room. Mullen was knocked down, but jumped to his leet and hurricd out to give the alarm. Three female employes who were in the front part of the room rushed out of doors, but did not have time to remove any of tho stock or even to get their outer gar- ments. The department responded promptly, but found the whole interior in a blaze. The front windows were broken in, and in & very short time the flames were under controi, but not, however, until the entiro stock was greatly damagod, 1t is impossible as vat to tell just what the damage will be, but it was placed by Mr. Mullen at £4,000. A later estimate placed it petween 00 aud $3,000. ‘The damage to the building, which is owned by John Booth, will amountto about $125, on which there is no insurance. The stock was insured for £1.000, the insurance having been taken out Thurs There will be a total loss of at least 1,500, which will very seriou cripple the concern. Several huudred dollars worth of new machinery for knitting summer RO0AS Was put in the fore part of the week. 1t is impossible to what ecffect the fire will have on the enterpiise, but it is hoped that there will be but little delay until the works are running again as usual ‘I'he water pressure was very strong and the streams of water turned on swept through the bulding, The loss by water will be considerable. A great deal of the yarn on band was but little burned, but as a slight scorching on one side of the large rolls cut thew into hundreds of pieces, the loss is very heavy. ——— The Republican Convention. The republican city convention met in the south court room of the county court house at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and was called to order by William Arnd, chairman of the city central committee. There were about one hundred and fifty present, includ- g delegates and spectators, B. L. Shugart was elected chairmun and C. G. Saunders secretary. A motion was immediately made to adjourn, and 1t carried without any oppo- sition. It wae understood that the conven- tion would either adjourn without making any nominations, or would endorse the ticket placed 10 nomination at the citizens’ convention on Thursday evening. It was thought that the action taken would give the citizens’ ticket the greatest strength, and this was uccordingly done, As the matter of nominating an alderman for the Second ward was referred to the Second ward delegation elected at the ward caucus, that matter was disposed of by the delegation after a short session. Some were iu fuyor of making no nominution, and leav- ing itto a committee composed 'of fifteen men of each party, but others were opposed to the plan, as it*might result in the nomina: tion of a democrat, aud after a short discus- sion the delegation declared Peter Wind the republican nominee for the office.

A GUIDED BY A PRECEDENI. Auditor Benton's Refusal to Regis- ter Omaha School Bondas, SIMILAR CASE OF RECENT DATE, The Supreme Court Kend ra an Im- portunt Decision in the Habens Corpus Proceeding on Bee half of Robinson. Refused to Register the Bonds. Lascous, Neb., Feb, 28,—|Special to Tir Ber |—The delegation representing the bourd of education of the city of Omaha called on Auditor Benton today in relation 10 the registration of the school bonds, Hon. Lee Estelle acted as spokesman of the dolo- gation and insisted that the act governing metropolitan cities conferred upon the board of education tho powor to lovy taxes to pay the interest and princinal on bonds without authority being given therefor by a vote of the people, Auditor Benton differed with him and cited the case of Berry va Jabeock in sup- port of his view. This case was brought to compel Auditor Babeock to register some bouds that made no provision for a levy, and the court refused the mandamus on the ground that the board of education had no authority to levy the tax without the voice of the people. Mr. Estelio claimed that tho act referred only to counties and preciucts und not to metropolitun cities; that the act governing schools in such cities was sepa- rate and distinct from all others and that the bonds were valid and entitled to regis- on. I'he auditor, however, maintained his posi- tion and refused to register the bouds, bank- g upon the statute w says that “when the question submitted involves the borrow- g or expenditure of money, or issuance of bonds, the vroposition of the question must Ye accompanied by & provision to levy a tax annually for the payment of the interest, if any, thereof, and no vote adopting the ques- tion proposed shall be wvalid un- less it likewise adopt the amount of tax to be levied to meet the liabiity incurred. He admits that this section applies to county bonds, but the court i its decision bus made it abply to precinct bonds when the law goverhing pro- cinet boads grants to the commissioner the power to levy a tax, and he is of the ovinion that the court would hold that the provision applies to all ses of bonds, 13ut it 18 given out that # stipulation has been decided upon and both partics agree that the question shall be submitted to the supreme court for its decision. ‘The auditor ussured the delegation that thore was uo disposition on his part to be a stickler for techuicalities, or unfair and un- just, and that his only reason to refuse reg- 1stration was based upon the reason given above as Lo whether or not they were legally 1ssued, The delegation returned to Omaha today. It consisted of Lee Estelle, Secretury Piper, C. F. Goodman and Mr. Poppleton, ROBINSON DISCHARGED. The supreme court decided the Bertie Robinson habeuas corpus case today. This caso has a peculiar phase. Some 81X months or a year ago Robinson stole a horse in Furuas county and wade his escape into Kansas. As usual a roward was offered for the arrest of the alleged thief, and a Ne- braska constable getting sight of him oun Kansas soil compelled him to cross the line into the state at the muzzle of a revolver, when he placed him under arrest. He was tried in the district court of KFurnas county and a “hung jury” was the result, whero- upou Robiuson's attorney applied to the su- preme court for and secured a writ of habeas corpus. On hearing the court dis- charged the prisoner on the grounds that no officer had a right to use force or artifice 1 securing fugitives - within reach of requisi- tion. 5 UNDER PALSE PRETENSES, John H.

In 1880 the state legislature passed two charters for tho government of cities of the firat class, one for citics having a population of from 25,000 to 60,000 and another for citics baving o population of from 8,000 to 25,000, When the existing provision’ in the school law applying to cities of the firet class was amended in 1585 each city of that_class was requirad to have more than 25,000 inhab- itants. When the charter for cities of the tirat class of less than 25,000 inhabitants was passed mo change = was made in the school law to bring the smaller cities under the provisions of the law which contemplated at the time of its amendment cities having over 25,000 inlab. itants. While ther is a difference of opinion in South Omaba us to whether the new school board should consist of six or nine members, State Superintendent Laue’s view is that an entire new board suould be elected. He is backed, undouotedly, by the attorney gen- eral's opinion. Hans Olsen’s Brother Arrives, ' ‘The brother of Hans Olsen, one of the victims of the boiler explosion, reached South Omaha Thursday, but too late to at- tend the obsequies. His name is A. O. Olsen, and instead of residing at Oakland, Burt county, as at fivst reported, his home is at Onkdale. The similarity i names of towns led to a misunderstanding and the telegrams sent him failed to reach him. Olsen, from his brother’s statements, was an unmarried man and had resided in Ne- braska long enough to have become pos- scsred of a homestead in the western part of the state, He had money on deposit in one of the Omaha banks and was a saving, frugal man. The brotuer took possession of all his effects. visited the grave and left for bis own home, after arranging all of the dead man’s business affairs in Omaha and South Omuha, Exrended Carrler Scrvice. Postmaster Cockrell received notice from the authorities at Washington Thursday to extend the free delivery service in South Omaba to the northern limits of the city. Heretofore I street was as far north as the carriers went. ‘I'wentioth street will be the eastorn limit for the present as iu the vast, but the carriers will make daily deliveries in the future as far north as A strect. The western and southorn limits will remain un- changed. Monkeyed With a Crowbar. James Gallagher, employed at the packing house of Swift & Co., met with a painful ac cident the other day.
