The Effcct of the Assignment of a Sewer Contract in This City, All the members of the board of public works were at the session yesterday after- noon. Samuel Katz bid 39 cents for grading the alley in block 107. The members thought the price too high and the bid was laid over for future consideration. The claim of Ed Walsh was discusse Walsh had the contract for constructing a sewer on South Fourteenth stree mg money o carry on mssigned the full amount i 06, to the Commercial After this material tothe gmount of $1,272 was furnished by Johnson & Co. About the time that the contract was completed the material man came in for his pay and found that the money was held by the bank, Waish gave bonds for the completion of the work and the payment of the labor claims. It now turns out that the city has accopted the w and the laborers wero paid, but the material men have not been satisfied. In speaking upon the case Major Furay soid: “‘If our bonds aro so loose that a con- tractor can go on and buy material from men without thelr havi L regret it very much, but s o sase,” 1t looks as though ou been in this condition,” sald Mr. Kierstead, “but in the future I hope the board will draw its bonds s0 that they will protect the material as well as the laboring men?” “lam not clear upon this point and I think before taking any action we should have the opinion of the city attorney,” said Chairman Birkhauser. To find out whether or not Walsh’s assign- ment to the bank was valid, the board de- cided to meet next Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock to receive an opinion, The street sweeping bill of C. amounting to $701, was pres considerable animated di yember 8 the chairman of the b Mr. Squires November 2 Bquires and ordered him to sweep of the streets not included in_tne contract. On December 1 Squires was ordered to again commence sweeping under the schedule, which provides for payment at the rate of 815 per mile.. Squires procceded with his work and put in a bill of 01 for the entire worlk performed. Birkhauser charged that Squires had charged more than the contract price for the work. Squires expluined by saying that he had, but that on the streets cluded in his contract a* vast amount of dirt had accumulated between November 1 and December 8, und that m most cases he had been compelled to go over the strects two and three times. *“That makes no differ- ence,” said Birkbauser. *‘It is the first time that you have done good work during tho sea- son." “He has done extra work,” said Mr. Kier- stead, “and I think payment should be made under the 10 per cent clause of the contract.” This clause provides that when streets are not swept according to schedule the chair- man may order the sweeping and that 10 per cent profit shall be allowed the contractor. I will oppose this bill, but I want har- mony and clean streets,” continued Mr. Birk- Squires, t evoked s0 o get down to d—d down- 'Y to got 1t ““There is 1o robbery about it, and T am prepared to back up my stand by the opiaion of the city attorney,” again remarked the chairman, At this point Major Furay poured oil on the troubled waters by postponing the considera- of the bill until the next meeting, Mr. Squires was instructed to continue sweeping, but was told that he need not do suy sprinkding. T'he question of providinga snow vlow was taken up and discussed at some length, after which Mr. Squires remarked that he had purchased one of the latest and most im- proved kiud and invited an investigation, Mr. Birkhauser was not satisfied with dropping the street sweeping question, and again brought it before the board by saying, “'We want tho streets swept durmng the bals ance of the season, but we want to pay ac- cording to the scnedule.” “Mr. Birkhauser,” said Mr. Squiros, “did ou ever read Major Balcombe's interpreta- ion of the contract regarding the 8§l per mile and the 10 per cent clauso " “No, nor 1 don't propose to. I am chair- man of the board this year, and not Major Balcombe, and the sooner some people under- stand this the bettor it will ve,”” “That may bo so,” continucd Mr. Squires, as soon as ho could get 1n a word, “but day you will wake up and find know as much about some thin Matters were becoming decided {ng when Mr. Kierstead moved an adjourn. ment. — - U. 8. Labor and Material. Mr. James P, Lowe, engincer in tho office of the supervising architect of the treasury department, has been in the city several days investigating the characteristics of the post- office site on block 86, as well as the cost of labor and materials, suck as would enter into the construction of a large building. He has been in consultation with local con- tractors concerning the peculiarities of the round in this locality and other facts bear- fn upon the details of the constructio fie ‘expressed the opinion that plans would e prepared in such a way as to admit of ad- ditions to the building, in case an addional ! appropriation should be secured, in such s way as not to mar thesymmetry of the whole. | ceived, Work upon the building wiil probably bcl gommenced in the spring.

SHIELDS, E. R. 1Y HONOR. How the Chairmanship of the Council is Sought by Aspiring Mortals. TThere 1s a new turn in the plans for the or- zation of the new council. Mr. Lowry has withdrawn from the race for the presi- dency, preferring tne active work of the floor to the empty honor. His withdrawal has_encouraged Morearty and Osthoff to rendw their fight forthe chair- ip. The latter wants a straight demo- organization of the council, while More- arty wants anything that will give him the coveted position. There are democrats in the council who will oppose either of those aspir- ants, and this fact may open the road for o republican president, in which case Mr. Bechel would probably be elected. ~Osthoff, however, relies upon a couple of republican votes if the matter comes to ashow down between him and Morearty. Davis “isw't saying anything” but if o combine can be patehed up ho will probably be at the head of it. Tous far, all attempts to get ten men to agree to perpetua‘e ring rulein the council has failed and the matter has been dropped temporarily. Frank Morrissey, the_combine agent,1s too busy to give the matter his entire time. ' He has to do a little missicnary work each week o keep theunfayorable committee report on his affairs buried in the committeo of the whole. The rest of his time is em- ployed in working & boom for the appoint- ment as state oil inspector under Governor Boyd. 3 cifio shop man fs the s clerk and has quite a following. It looks at present, however, as though John Groves could hold the place auother year at least if he would employ o force of democratic clerks under him. A Mysterious Meeting. Late yesterday afternoon all of the mem- bers of the democratic city central committes received special invitations to be present at a meeting to be held at Julius Meyers' rooms, Twelfth and Farnam streots, at 8 o'clock thi cening. The invitations close with the par- agraph, “It is of the greatest importance that you attend.” The members of the committee Drofess ignorance as to theobject of the gath- though one gentleman, who s that 4 position to know, says that it is for no other purpose than to’ perfect plans for capturing the organization of the new city counil. e German Conversation in Five Weeks.

Abner Pecler of South Omaha, a man who is known to the police of this city as one of the most Jangerous counterfeiters in the country, was tried before Judge Dundy yes- terday morning on the charge of defrauding Douglas White, a verdant youth from the rural districts, It was shown that Pecler had sold White several counterfeit $-gold pieces, which might well have deceived an expert. Thes were produced in evidence and showed very conclusively that the maker was an expert, as they had appearanco and almost the @ of genuineries White's testimony showed that he was aware of the spurious nature of the coin and had bought it knowingly. The court decided that, under the indictment, the accused was not guilty, as the witness had not been de- frauded.” The jury was instructed to return a verdict of not guilty, which was doue. Peeler was not reledsed from custody, how- ever, and another indictment will bo found against him, The jury which tried “Dr.” Davis and ife, the alleged blackmailers, is seriously ering the idea of requesting Judge Dundy to enforce the payment of the fine assessed against Davis or to imprison him for non-payment. Ono of the jurymen stated that the mem- bers of the jury had become conyinced, since secing the actions of the pair about the fed- eral building and learning of the merits of the case, that they had been imposed upon and ved and further that, had th known the facts in the case before the ver- dict was returned as well as they know them now, they would have convicted both parties and ‘recommended that they be given the severest penalty under the law, Used Lo Millions of I‘lnnmu- $8| EIGHT DOLLARS, The fall of 1890 willlong be remembered as the greatest season for b3 BLACK CHEVIOT SUITS== Ever known.
