WILL TAKE ANOTHER WEEK Coupoil Oommittes 8till Incubating the Metropolitan Street Railway Ordinance. ABOUT A FRANCHISE YET UNHATCHED. Will Demand That the City Shal Receive a Reve from the Company—Asked for a Grand Jury. The public had an idea that the called $essiou of the city council held last night Zvuuhl bodovoid of interest and conssquently he lobby was almost deserted when thirteen councilmen answersd to their names at roll call. The meeting was called for the pur Poso of hearing the report of the committee on viaducts and railways, that committee having had under consideration the ordi- pance providing for the granting of a fran- ¢hise to the Metropolitan street railway M. Cooper, the chairinan of the commit tee, statod that more time was needed in which to complete the report. The commit- too had reached some conclusion, but had been unaole to decide whether the company should pay the city a revenue or get tho franchise gratis, City Attorney Poppleton bad not passed upon the ordinance. The committeo had left a lot of papers at his office and had ugroed to call at 8 o'clock yes- terday morning for the purpose of consuita- tion, but had failed to do so. Mr. Elsasser explained that ho was at Mr. Poppleton’s oftice at 9 o'clock. Mr. Poppleton remarked that 9 o'clock did Jpot mean S, and besides, Mr. Morearty had ‘Gallod and demanded the' papers, Should the Company Pay? Mr. Cooper tavored making the new com- pany pay a lic He thought $25 per year er” car would _not be too much. The time ad arrived when Omaha should demaad ay for franchises, aud do away with the roe-for-all plan. It had got to come to that socner or later and 1f the plun was adopted, the Omaha Street Railway company could bo forced iuto line and brought under the Bamo rules. Mr. Morearty entered upon a lengthy argu- ment, sayipx Tu this case w a quest f wnd in whethe o brought face to face with imnortance to the tion with this the que Six or sevon of the counclim 0 classed s boodlers.

ALl this new company asks is the same priviiezes enjoyed by the old company. > As Lunderstund It, it is not a question as to whother or not the old company Is making money, but shull Omababave incroased streot oar fucilities, Mr. Osthoff thought toat Mr. Morearty had talked a good deal about the franchise, but had failed to discuss the question of Whcther or not the eity would receive any yeyenue Mr. Elsasser took issue with Mr. Moroarty and argucd that whilo the public might de- and cousiderable, the taxpayers looked to o council o protect the lnterests of th oity. The ordinanco as introduced made no Pprovisions for repairing streets or replacing pavements. It was folly to pass the ordi- pance simply because the company had asked for its passage. The former councils had voted franchises to the water works and the elecfric light companies that should pever have disgraced the statute books of the They had been loosely drawn and the interests of the com- pauies had been protected, while thoso of the city had been allowed to take care of them- selyes. Pros and Cons of the Case. Mr. Morearty entered into another lengthy discussion, favoring the granting of the fran- chise. As ho concluded, Mr. Bechel asked: “And now I suppose you are to be the attor- ney for the Motropolitan Street Railway com- pany 5 Mr. Davis sald that the time had come ‘when Omaha needed additional street rail- way facilitics. Healso thought the time had come when Omaba should not_throw valu- ablo franchises to the winds, The company should bo compeiled to pay at least royulty of 10 cents per day per car. The company should not be allowed to operate its Anes over streets already occupied by the {present company that ontered Omana when t was a village and grew with the city. Mr. Osthoff asked that the ordinance be yond. President Lowry ruled the motion out of ordor as the orainance was still in the hands &f the committee. My Cooper, chairman of tho committee, statell that he was not ready to report the ordinanco back to the conncil. Mr. Olson moved that the committes bo fnstructed to insert a clause in the ordinance, roviding that tho Metropoiitan shall pay & icense of 10 cents per day upon each car in use. Mr. Cooper stated that ho had learned that pearly every city of 100,000 population or fuore reccived a revenue from the street car compunies. Mr. McLearie thought the council should know what territory the company proposed to cover. If the company intended to go into the suburbs it could not afford to pay such a tax, but if it was coming nto the beart of the city it should pay something. Some Explanations Offered. Mr. Cooner explained that tho ordinanco provided for occupying every street in the city not held by the Omaha Street Railway company at the present time, Colouel Slattery of the Metropolitan com- any was called to explain. Ho stated that is company proposed to operato the lines upon streots not occupied by the present company. To get into the heart of tho oity he topéd to make arrangements with the othor compuny. 'The railway would bo built in first class stylo and o great deal of money would be expended. 1f bis company was compelled to pay the 10 cents per day liceuse upon each car it would prove a groat hard- ahip. Place the same tax upon the cars of the Omaha Street Railway company and he would be satisfied, Mr. Blumer thought the only duty the council had to perform was to sce that the interests of the city were properiy guarded and then submit the quoestion to the people, Mr. Osthoff thought the matter had hung fire for a long time, and that the committos sbould got the ordinunce in shape to report back tonigit, Mr. Elsassor explained that it was less than two weeks ago that the ordinauce was introduced Ry & voto of the council the committes was given additional time within which to sub. mit ita roport, and also instructed to insert in tho ordinauce a section to vrovide that the Motropolitan Street Railway company shall pay thocity the sum of 10 cents per day on eaoh car that is in use, Asked fora Grand Jury. As a question of privilege, Mr. Olson asked to lutreduce the following resolution : Whoreas. Many charges of bribe taking and other malfoasance in office have beon ma agalnst city, as well as country oficial there t Rosolved, That wo do hereby petition the honorabie distriot Judges, at the oarliest pos- siblo timo to cull w'grand Jury for the inves- gation of these ohurges, that tho gullty, it any muy bo punished, the honest indlotod and the traducers of the good namesof the honest officials be punished to the full extent of the law Resolved, That the publie mind should be disabused ‘of the impression that all ofiicials from the highest to the lowest, are dishouost Rosolved, That the good nume of our falr community shonld bo' reostablished to tho world, and that 1t be no longer what 1t ls—u disgruce for an honest wau o hold & pubtic ofic Mr. Morearty opposed the adoption of the resolution. Ho said it would do no good as he understood that the judges had publiely stated that they could noi call a grand jury for the present term of court. Ho did not Want Lo ask the judges to do somothing that the council knew coutd not be accomplished. Such a resolution would reflect upon the in- telligence of tha council. Forelgn Travel Suggested. Alr, Elsassor knew of a somewhat similar sase in Califorols, Cortain oficials bad THE OMAHA DAILY boodled and a grand jury was called. Before the body met every man had flown to other climes, " Ho favored asking the judges to PAss upon the question, Mr. Otsen 1nsisted that Mr. Morearty was talking for effoct and that he knew nothing avout his subject, having read in the papers merely what one judge bad stated inan in terviow. Mr. Osthoff wanted to hear from the city attorney upon the poiat of law as to whether or not the judges had the authority to call a grand jury to investigate during this term of court, Mr. Popploton stated that he had not given the matter much thought. The point of law was something that did not relate to his duties as city attorney, but if ho was a coun- cilman he should want a grand jury called and he should want the judges to decide the legality of the question of the ealling of such ajury. A move in that direction could not reflect uvon the honesty of any councilinan Mr. Morearty took issue with Mr. Popple- ton, but before ho was through with him the councilman was so completely squelched that tis intimate friends hardly rocognized him. They Are Not Brothers, In getting at the point, Mr. Morearty said “Mr. Poppleton, I will ask you s a brother of the legal profession if you think tie judges have a right to call a grand jury and M. Morearty would have said more, but bofore he had time to completo his_remarks the attorney was upon his feet, and casting a Iook of withering scorn at the councilman- at-large, said: “Please excuse me on_that score, 1 will deal with you as a councilman, out please excuse me from dealing with you as a brothor attorney." ‘\What do you mean " asked Mr. Morearty A titter started at the president’s desk and wont around the room, stopping at all of the tables occupied by the councilmen. “I mean this," responded Attorney Pop- ploton, “'you can address me in your capacity as a councilman, but ploase don’t refer to me us vour brother attorney.’” The last remark of Attorney Poppleton broke the charm. Mr. Morearty wilted aud tho council took up the routine business of the evening. A number of ordinances were introduced, read a first and second time and referred. On account of irregularities the mayor ve- tood the ordinauces providing for submitting the question of voting city hall, library and k bonds. New ordinances correcting the vors wore introduced, read a firstand sec- ond time and reforrod. et ol DoWitt's Little Eariy tasers; only pill to cure sick headache and rogulate the bewel el s Go and see Lafayetto Place and then come and talk with us about it.

Fourth Judicial Distriot Republicans Tos the Soratoh in Manly Style. NON-PARTISANSHIP NOT WANTED HERE, Plain Expression of the Convention on the Subject—Good Men Named —~Proceedings of the Body. For judges of the district court, Fourth jue dicial'aistrive: H.J. DAVIS, M. R HOPEWELL, L. W. OSBORNE, O R, SCOTT, W. W. KEYSOR, HOWARD B. SMITH LEE 8. BS’ The ropublican judicial convention of the Fourth aistrict, embracing the counties of Sarpy, Washington, Burt and Douglas, was held in Exposition hall yesterday afternoon. Mr. Perry Selden of Washington county called the convention to order and Hon. W. E\. Beckol was elected temporary ohairman, Mr. Herb Leavitt was elscted secretary. The convention instructed the secretary to read the names of the dolegatos as presented by the chairman of cach delegation. The roll of delegates was then calied by the sec- retary. The dolegates prosent from each ward and vrocinct wero authorized to cast the full vota of their respectivo delogations. There wero but three delegates present from tho country precinets in Douaglas county, but they wero authorized to cast the thirteen votes to which the country precincts wero entitled. Non-Partizanship Came Up. W. F. Gurley moved that the conven tion nominate by acclamation Judges Lee S, Estelle, H. J. Davis and M. R. Hopewell. The motion was heartily seconded, but bo- fore it could be put Henry K. D. Estabrook moved an amendment to nominate the soven judgns now upon the district bench, Johu Cathers arose and said: *Gentlomen, T understood that this was to be a republican convention.” [Applause.| Mr. Estabrook claimed the floor and made a vigorous speech, in which he held that tho partisan spiit should be laid aside in tho selection of competent judges. He pro- posed 10 vote and work for the present incumbents without regard to the ac- tion of the convention. He did not say that as a threat, ho said, but he proposed to ignore the partisan spiritin this judicial election. He was opposed, he smid, to placing raw ma- terial upon the beach and pushing aside able and more capable men. Mr. Gurley sprang to his feet and pro- ceeded to combat the ideas expressed by Mr., Iistabrook. He said it was folly for Mr. Estabrook to taik about ignoring the partisan spirit in this election. The democrats of tho Ilourth district had already drawn the lines for the contest, and the partisan spirit had mot been ignored by them. They uad thrown down the gauntlet and the republicans must, to retain tho respect of gentlomen, fight it out upon party lines. Mr. Gurley said that he was not in favor of placiug incompetent men upon the bench, but he was in favor of nominating men who were young, strong and vigorous instead of men Who wore worn out and W ho ought to retire. Mr. J. T. Cathers charged that Mr. Esta- brook had come into the convention as an in- dependent. He had no right, Mr. Cathers beld, t> dictato to a republican convention, “I do not propose to be read out of the re- publican party by a man who has been in Omaha so short a time as Mr. Cathers, Te- torted Mr. Estabrook. Gurley's Motion Carried. Joo Redman offered an amendment to Mr. Gurloy’s motion to give each of the outside counties tho privilege of naming one judge. The anti-fusion men finally sprung the point of ovder that the amendments proposed could not properly be mado to the original motion, The chair held that the point was well taken and the origial motion, mado by Gur- loy, to nomivate by acclamation Judgos Hopewell, Davis and Estolio was then put and carried by a unanimons vote. Mr, Hoover of Sarpy county then duced a motion to proceed of four ticket. John Butler sprang to his feet and de- manded a call of the roll upon that proposi- tion, *'L waut these men who are opposed to 4 non-partisen judiciary put on record,” said Butler, waving his arms excited]y I don’t think there is anybody here afraid to be put on_ record,” shouted Will Gurley. *Go ahead with the' roll call. This1s a re- publican convention." The roll was then called and tho vote stood 70 for and 12 against the nommation of four moro_straight ropublicans. The non-par- tisaan idea was buried out of sight. Plenty of Candidates. Nominations were then doclared in order and the names wero presented about as fast as the secretary could jot them down. Dr. Saviile presented the name of W. W, Keysor, Mr. G Smith presented tho name of Colonel C. It. Scott. John Kennedy numed A, M. Bartlett. I'remont Everett of Lyons presented tho name of L. N. Osborne of Washington county. Judge Bartlett pre sented tho name of Judge Jesse S. Miller, Will Gurley named Howard B. Smit J. B. Michaél presented the name of Judge W. Ambrose; D. I. Wheeler nominated .

IHe simply expressed his thanks for the nomina- tion and said he would do his best to roll up agood big majority in Washington county for the republican ticket. Colonel C. R.

He was called for, but was not presont. ‘The convention then proceeded to ballot for Twothe remaining nominees, The ballot gave Keysor 40, Smith 38, Magrney 27, Bartlett 24 Breckenrldee 17, Ambroso 10, Miller ¢ Holmes 2 and Churchill 1, W.

O TWO MAGIC OITY SHOOTINGS. One Man Was Killed and Another One Very Serionsly Wounnded, Leon St. Clair who was shot by Officer Reardon late Saturday night died yesterday morning about § o'clock. Madame Gravin, the propriotress of the joint on Railroad avenue where St. Clair was killed Saturday night, stated to a Bue ro- vorter that the shooting was done in_self defense and that St. Clair threatened *to do Reardon up' if he persisted in coming up stairs. “I'he coroner will hoid an inquest over St Clair at Hoafy & Heafy’s at 10:30 this morn- ing. The funeral will take place at Laurel Hill at 2:30 this afteraoon. Judge King bound Keardon over yesterday morning to await the result of the inquest.

They scuftled a whilo, Hart getting the worst of it. Breaking away from Lynch, he ran behind the counter to get a club which ho is accustomed to uso in such cases and not linding it he grabbed ts gun in- tending to uso the buttend, Then the men clenched again, and Hart brought the re- volver down to hit bis assailant when it went off, tho builet entering Lynch's right sido.
