Matter Postponed "Il ~Some Bullding Declared Unsate and Condemned o Viaduoct on Fifteenth Stredt. 'ivis Morning All of the eighteen councilmon attended 11 spectal mécting held last night. Some of them méton the cirb, others went to tho itoard of Education’ room, while a fow more afopped into the exchange room " the Board of Trade building. A\t nine o'clock they had been herded in the room they formerly occupied and then the jun commenced. Not w desk was visible, tney having been removed toa barn in the rear of the building, Chairs were gatberetl fn from the various offices and the wise meh formed u circle about thelr president to listen to the report of the committee on spublic property and buildings. For a weék the committeée had been working on the bids for vault tixtuves for the new city hall, tryidg to asoértain which was tho lower, thit submitted by the Ofice Speclalty company or the one from the Kenton Metalic Manu facturing company. T'ie committeo reported that the bid of the former company was 89,1 , while the other company had groed fo put in the fixtures for the sum of $5,047.01 he committee recommended that the differ- encé fu price would wilow the council to fur- nish the vaults fu first class shape; as it would permit of ths putchase of some artl- clos that were not bid upon by elthor com- piny. Discussing the Bids. Immediately aftor the reading of the ré- port, Mr. Bechl movéd that the contract be i warded to the F'ronton company, it being tho lowest bidde ‘I'ne motion wad seconded by Mr. Blumer. Mr. Davis offeréd an amendment that Action be postponed until tonight, in order to givo the council an opportunmity of investi- gating the bids ana examining the fixtures, Mr. Elsassor wus strongly in favor of & postponement of action. He wanted to sdo the tabulated statements and samples of the furniture beforo voting for the contract, Mr. Beohel deciared that to postpone action would be child's play. ‘Phere wnd u differ- <nce of more than 2,000 in the bids, and to dolay would only cause the council to be the laughing stock of the community. Council- en had been fnvited to look at the furniturp nnd be present whon the bids were tabulated. J¢ they had not attended it was their own fault. Mr. Osthoff insisted that the committeo hiad not recommended the award of any con- tract. It had simply performed its work and rcported to the cowncil. Mr. Chaffeo said that it was not the inten- tion to award the contract. The meeting was slmply to hoar the report of the committed. Te would not vote for any yault fixtures un- il he knew what they would cost. It wonld hurt no man to delidy action forone nizht, and as far a8 ho was concerned he did not propose to be a party to railroad the contract through the council: ‘Will Look at the Samples. Mr. Davis thought he had no authority to look at the furniture and fixtures unless he knew something about the cost. He had been buttonholed to go to the Paxton and Murry hotels to 100k at the samples on exhibi- tion, but had postponed his visit. Mr. Elsasser did not think it would be okild’s vlay to hold off one night before awarding the cont It _would not be riht to choke tie members off without seeing the fixtures aud the detailed drawing. Mr, Blumer thought that every man had a right to see the bids and the samples. Mr. Bechel 1nsisted that when the conncil adjourned 1t was to consider the bids. Mr, Chaffec aduitted the statement, but urged that the meeting of the council 'was not for the purpose of awarding the con- tract. Mr. Bruoer opined that each councilman should see the fix tures pefore approving any coutract. The ameundment was defeated and at 9 o'clock this morning "the councilmen will meot in a body at the clorl’s office and pro- ceed to the rooms where the samples are on oxhibition, Condemned Some Buildings. A large number of ordinances were read a third time and passod. The following were deciared . unsafe struc- tures and condemued: A two-stovy building At the northeast corner of Thirteenth and » Dodge streets; a two-story frame building at the northeast corner of Twelfth and Douglas streets; & twostory brick building on Douglas, near Twelfin strect; A two-story brick building at 2113 South T'welfth street; a oné-story frame builling in the rear of 1111 Douglas street: a one and one-haif-story framo building on Eleventh stroot, near Capital avenue; a onec-story frame building at the northeast corner of Teath and Dodge streots; two two-story frame buildings at Ninth and Howard streets’; three frame buildings on the sousheast corner of Twelfth and Jones streets; two two-story frame bulldings on I'hirteenth street, near Jones; a four-story frame building on Thir- teenth street, near Joues; six framo buildings atthe corner of I'ourteenth and Jackson streets; a four-story brick building at Four- teentn and Leavenworth str 3 a five-story building at Thirteenth and Farnam stroets; A three-story brick building known 1418 Parnam; twotwo-story frame buildingsat the northeast corner of Fourteenth ana Douglus streets; a one aad one-half-story frame hinld- ing at the northeast corner of Sixteenth and Burt streets, Defeated the Viadnct. The passage of the ordinance providing for ¢ dhe erection of a viaduct along the line of Fiftoenth, from Loavenworth to Marcy streots, was dofoated by a vote of 12 to i Mr. Chaffee denounced the ordinance as a scheme to boom real estate down in that por- tion of the city. Tho three viaduets now built could handle the traftic and it would be a great bardship to compel the railroads to build another. Prosident Lowry thought that if the via- duct was ordercd Omaha would never got union depot, as it would bankrupt the com- panfes if eompoilod to build viaducts over every street. Mr. Morearty held to the opinion that it would be & burning shame to deprive Omaha ylog tho privilege of having a viadust over Fifteenth stroot. Ho was sure that the coustruction of the viaduct was not for the purpose of booming real estate. - Constlpation poisons tne blood; DoWitt's Litte karly Risers cure constipation.

City Engineer Tillson hus completed the plans for the proposed viaduet over the rail- road tracks along the iine of Fiftoenth strect and will submit the detailed drawings to the city council at ity next regular mevting, The idrawing provide for an iron and steel structure, 1,025 feet long, to run from the south line of Leavenworth to the north line of Pacific street. The greatest elevation will be forty feet, whi will bo near Marcy street. The roadway, which i8 to bo paved with sheet asphaltum, will be sixty feet wide with walks ten foot wido on citcfi side. Tho distance between the two terminal points will be ono block less than that covered by éither of the other viaducts, Tho gradd to reach thé approaches will be a trifls less than 3 per cont, while that of the ‘Tanth streot viaduct is 4 per cent and a frao- tion. It'is the fntention to build two twenty foot spAns, one si over Marcy strect, ouo eighty foot span over the tracks north of Madon and three south of that point.

He had been suffering for 4 long timer from an abscess at the base of his left upper tusk, aud it was decided thatto save theanimal's life the tooth must come out. The panther was tiod down and gagged and his ciaws trimmod; so the doctor who removed the tooth had full awing. The operation was porformed in ona end of the cage by Dr, A, H.

RAILROADS AND TRE PAIR, Railrond officials ronerally are strongly op- posed to the action of the World's Cotumbian exposition people in changing the plans for handling the world's fair trains at the Jack- son park terminus. The original intention was to run trains in and out of the grounds on a three or four track loop, thoreby obviat: ing necessity for shunting engines at Jackson park. Under this plan trains swould havo entered the park, run around the loop 1 back to Chicago all the way on its own track, without any time boing lost in shifting enginos from one end of the train to the othier or bloekading other tracis in switch. The loop also did away with all extra only threo or fonr main lind tracks un fown being needed. This plan the cordial endorsement and recelved of thio most consorvative and able operuting railroad officials, who do not hesitate to con: domn the new scheme of a stub end termi- nus, 1S OPINION ON GAMBLING. Mayor Washburne, although several hun- dred miles away from his oftice at Mackinac, Kkeops in touch witn those lefs in authority bere. In an interview at Mackinac his honot evinced strong antagonism to gambling Iwall forms. Ho said: ““The statute pronibits gambling, 1t does not permit gambling in aty place or it any form. Of course those who establish thése private clubs will claim that thoy ought not to be interferea with, 88 games aré played in the most protontious club houses i town, The argument Is not good. Thesé club houses now being formed arn for thé special purpose of gambling, while social feutures, if they have any, are merely inci- dent. It other clubs it is entiroly differout. They were established mainly for social purs poses and gambling is ouly incidential to them.” ‘The “private” clubs referred to are organ: izations whica are springing up on every sidé with full outfits for gambling. Tha mayor's stand on this subject is in divect opposition to thiit, takon by City Prosocutor Douglas in the case of & number of south side men who are conducting gaming rooms under the guise of social clubs. Douglas beld that gwmbling in small clubs could not be probibited so long as 10 one but members were allowed to par- ticipate. MUST HOLD HER BODY. The body of Mrs. Anna Rafnel, whom, it is alleged, by her friends, died from the effects of a dog bito received o fow weoks ago, still lies it St. Elizabeth hospital. She died at an carly hour Saturday morning and owing to the conflict of opinion as to the cause of her death her friends are unable to obtain a burial certificate up to a late hour today, The woman was bitten by a dox The physicians who attended her beforo she weut to the hospital all agreed that she was inoculated_with hodrophobia. She bocame suddenly Il and from being an unusuaily healthy woman, never knew a moments rest from that day she was bitten to the day she ied. Dr. Hark who attended her on her recep- tlon into the hospital said today: “Ihe cause of the woman’s death was typhe malaria,’ DONE BY MACHINERY, Colonol Clements, pension agent, will no longor worry his brain in adding up long columns of ficures in keeping account of tho money paid out to the 50,000 pensioners on his roll. . Hereafter this work will be done by & little machine operated like a typewriter. Itis called & ‘‘comptometer’ and is similar to the machines used in the census bureau at Washigton, and also in the treasury department. Tbe ‘‘comptometer, whicti cost Uncle Sam- $145, was made by & Chicago firm and is the first one put in use in the government ofices here. NARROW ESCAPE. On account of the heavy rains yesterday and last nizht, or possibly for some other reason, the oastern wall of the government building took a lurch this morning. Besidd tho olevator shaft on the third floor and within a fow feet of Sudge Gresham's court room is a crack an inch and a half wide aud extending up and down the wall. The break opened suddenly and let down a lot of plas- teving. The crovica was evidently caused by the sinking of the outer wall of the building. BUILDING FOIu THR FAIR. Commissioner DeYoung is proparing to leave for home and the grounds and Euildlnpl committeo will endeavor to follow the Cali fornia commissioner's suggestions to a liberal arts building. At the committea meeting this evening the proposition to evect an extra building will bo voted upon.

Matilda Behlt, 40 years of age, committed suicide by hangiog herself with a piece of rope to & hook in tho Kitchen of her home, When found today by her daughtor she was dead. She had beem sick for some time past and it is thought she took her lifo in a fit of dospoudency. SAVED BY GREAT COURAGE, Tha steamer John Dix, which sprung a leak on tho way to Milwaultee Sunday morn- ing with 200 persons on board, is now on the v dock undergoing repairs. Exports de- clare tho. boat was in no condition to 0 the trip in such stormy weather. Itis owiug to the plucky conduct of her captain, B, M. Cochraue, more than to the stability'of tho crazy old oraft herself, that she was enabled id her passengors safely. Sho had not been two hours out when sho bogan leaking badly and five pumps were necessary Lo keep her afloat. A semi-panic siezed upon the passengers and mauy of them lay down in their clothes anxiousiy awaiting the outcome, Along towards morning the steamer Chicazo | wis sighted and Captain Coehrane ran closo alongside and requosted her to stay by tho Dix until she reached the port.

ABOUT THE WEATHER, ClI go was treated to o dose of fall Wonthor yesterday, which was unpleasant and unexpected. After a cool night the morning broke fair and protty with promise of a clear, cool day, but early the sky became overcast and at 1030 o'clock & heavy rain bo- gan and continued to fall at intervals during thoday. Picnics which were planned for the day wers broken upand the Sunday crowts that had gathered at the parks were routed by the storm aud driven homo. The lake fortunately was freo from fog and no mishaps occurred. It is just such 8 tima as yesteriay's storm that the wonderful success of the government's exterior breakwater as a_protection to ves- sels was shown. Marine men say the signal service forecasts are far more reliable in Uncle Jervy Rusk's department than before the recent change from the war depertment. Yesterday’s storm was pradicted with ret markable aceuracy—almost to the hour of its arvival. The westher and the direction of the wind have been predicted in the most act curate way for a mouth, and mariners are again having confidence in the signal service! A POLITICAL MOVE. John Gladney, a well known colored repub: lican of Springtield, has issued a circular to the colored votors of the state over his own signature, announcing 8 grand raily to bo held in southern Illiuois next month. The circular reads as follows: “In view of tho fact that the campaign of '92 Is fast approaching the colored voters of the stato must bestir themsolves. It has been concoded by the Ieaders of the party that the colored vote of southern Illinois saved our state ticket in 1383 and hence the oyes of party leaders ave turned toward that section of the stato and toward said voters. True, wé have exhibited moré loyaity and receive less recognition than any other class of voters| but we desire to express in advance our det termination to contrioute by every possible ineans to the success of our party and its time honored principles, SPRUNG A LEAK. The steamer John A. Dix, whioh loft herd vestorday with 200 passengers on board, Sprung a loak when off Racine and it was with great trouble she got to her des- tinatlon. As it was thought the stsamen would sink another steamer kept her coms pany to borear in case of emergency. The passengers knew nothing of the condition of the boat until Milwaukoes was resached.
