In tho superior court yesterday a suit was commenced by Julia Fiynn against the offic- ers of district township of York. The plaint- iffis aschool teacher. Her brother, Joseph Flynn, was a sub director of No. 9in York township last spring, and he made a contract with his sister by which she was to teach the school for thre= terms for #275. She taught the June term and received her pay. After vacation she presented herself at the school house prepared to teach what is known as the September term, but was denied adwit- tance, und informed that another teacher had been put in her place. The term having just | closed she now asks for her pay, as it was not her fault that she did not’ perform her cuties in accordance with her contract. It is understood that the defense will be that the contract was never approved by the board and, therefore, mot binding, Mr. Flynn re of his position as sub.director and Flenry Rishton was elected in his place. Mr. Rishton declined to serve unless b could bave the sppointing of the teacher. The board gave him that privilege and only approved so much of the contract with Mis Ilynn as applied to the June term. The con [ o faras it covered the other two terms, was repudiated by the board. The courts will now have te decide. Il patterns of _carpets, rug: ces. AtM. & K.'s, 320 Broad- See our new shades at all pri way. —— 1d wood of C. B. Fuel Co., :lephone 130, Words of Sympathy.

The Inter State Controversy. Attorney General Stone was in the city yesterday.

M appears that the law in regard to accre- tions is quite different from that relating to land which is affected by a sudden and radi- cal change of the course of the river. Itis claimed that part of the land in controversy is the result of aceretion and part by a chauge in the channel of the river, cutting off a chunk suddenly. There will be no little dif- fleulty in determining just what part is due to each of these different causes. —— Ourline of cook stoves and ranges, from $1.50 to $45 gives you the greatest variety to select from, at Mandel & Klein's, 32 Broad- way.

Tickets, includ- ing lunch, $1. lans for the New Bridge. Mr. Waddell, brotherin-law of Leonard Everett, submitted several weeks ago three sets of praus for a bridge across the river con- necting the eity with Cutoff island. One plan called for an $300,000 structure, another for one costing 1,000,000 and the third for a still move expensive one that would cost &1,200, 000, The plass were ordered by the East Omaha Land company and o powerful or- ganization behind them. Tney have been sub- mitted to the officers of the company, and the fact was authoritatively announced yesterday that the last plan had been selected, and that a bridge costing not less than $1,000,000 will be erected as soon the charter canbe ob. tained from congress, It hasbeen known for some time that allof the preluminary work for obtaining the charter has been completed by agents of the company in Washington and it is expected that the charter will be granted earl the coming sion, Tue Bee gets its ity for this announce- in uthe ment so direct that it'can be relied upon as about ofticial. Tho purpo is to build a wide modern com- bination bridge, capable of carrying street car lines, railwiys and thoronghtare traffic without conflict. Itis also intimated semi- ofticially that a powerful tailioad is back of the scheme, and the delay in building the union depot there is on account of the scheme to have it located on theisland. “The matter will be brought before the city council on Monday evening, it is said, by the bew company presenting an ordinance gr: ingz them acliarter tobnild and operate astr car systen through the main street of the y and on the island via a bridge to bo crécted at some point to be designated.

In addition to their cbarter th will also ask for some other privileges connected with the approachies of the new bridge.

B. Jacquemin & Co., No. 27 Main st. Johnny, Drop Your Dram. A flve-year-old boy with a half-grown frisky drum is not one of the desirable features of a quiet neighborhood. However commendable may be his patriotic desire to emulate his revolutionary ancestry and bring down to these piping times of peace the spirit of 1770, he is liable to get mmself and his drum into trouble it he thumps it too industriously. That what's the matter with a sprightly little elf who is the pride of the household at the residence of W. J. Jameson, on Seventh street. Johuny has a drum and plently of energy which he expends in thump- ing it whenever the spirit scizes lim, and as the spirit is of the good-sized healthy sort it has him in his grip about all the time, and the rattle of the drum is almost ceaseless, much to the annoyance and discomfort of the quict neighbors. At least, that is the com- plaint that was made in the police court yesterday afternoon by Ierd. Wies, who lives nearest to the Jameson residence and os the fuliest benefit of Johnny's mar- tial musie. Mr. Wies made his complaint in a formal manner and as rant issuea for the t of W.J. Jan the father of the patriotic drummer. Clerk Stephenson drew up the information, und drew it good and strong, and Mr. Wies put his nameto it, It alleges that Mr. Jameson is guilty and has been guilty of a breach of the peace by permitting his son to thump that drum’ incessantly and at all hours, greatly to the anuoyance of himself and his family A warrant was issued on the information and Marsal Temploton called upon Mr. Jame- onand put bim under arrest. . It was an ac- commodating sort of an arrest, for the mar- shal carried the warrantin one hand and a bond for the appearance of the accused in the other, Mr, Jameson signed the bond and thereby escaped goine to jail. The case was set for hearing before cting Judge Schurz on Monday at9 o'clock. In the meantime the marshal negotiated a treaty with Johnny by which he aerees to pound the drum only atstated intervals and then in the cellar. s ho has been excessively an- " sant deumming of thé boy, but has failed after making many attempts to induce Mr. Jameson to_order the boy to quit, and appealed to the law only whon all other means had proved fruitless.

Addison, a dalry farmer living at Fairfax Station, Va.,on the Virginin Midland railroad, twenty-four miles from Washington, dis- covered imbedded in the hoof of one of his cows a large seal ring, says the Jew- elers’ Weekly, The ring was a very handsome one, and had engraved upon the seal the coat of arms of Mexico, the word **Mexico,”” and a Spanish word that the finder could not decipher. Inside were the words, “H. J. Hunt, Worth’s Div.” Mr. Addison reported the finding of the ring to the Alexandria papers, which published a short notice of it. Soon afterward he received a letter from Colonel Pitcher, United States army. now living Washington, saying that he was an intimate friend of Colonel Hunt, and served with him through the Mexican war. When the officers of Worth 'sdivision left Mexicothey wished to have mementoes of the days and nights spent together there, so all_had rings made alike. During the rebellion Colonel, promoted to brigadier general, Hunt commanded the fedeval artillery that at one time was stationed in Mr. Addison’s meadow, and the ring was lost by him at that time, General Hunt died two years ago. His family now lives in Washirggton, and Mr, Addison has turned over to them the ring recov- ered after a lapse of more than aquarter of a century, FERSONAL »r. R.M T D B 1 Casey George H.
