—_— (MR. MOREARTY MADE A SPEECH nd Then the Oity Council Went On and Confirmed Major Furay, ACTION NEEDED TO CLEAR THE RECORD. Wnjor Furay Explains His Remarks About Monopolies—Proceedings of the Council on an Ofr Nigh Major Furay was confirmed again last pight by tho council as a member of the Board of Public Works, The doughty major opened the meeting by explaining that the papers had, ho thought, quoted him o littlo too strong in the state ment that the corporations of the city were robbing the tax payers. Hoadmitted having ald that the water works company, gas company, telephone and other companies phould be held to a more strict accounta- bility than has been customary in their dealings with the city. Following the major's example several mumbers of the council explaiaed their posi- tions on matters that had been before the oouncil aud Mr, Morearty made a lengthy specch in explaining that Mr. Bechel had no business to ask him, as he did at a recont meeting, if ho was going to be the attorn: of the Metroplitan Stroet Railway company. Mr. Bechel finally agreed to acknow!edzo snytbing if Mr. Morearty would only stop talking. Then a communication came in from the Mayor naming John B. Furay asa member of the Board of Public Works. The mayor ex- plained that the appointment was again sent n that there might be no question as to the egality of former meetings of the council when “the mayor's appointment was con- firmed, nsidered, reforred, rejected, then confirmed again, Mr. Osthoff promptly moved that the ap- ointment be laid on the table. This was ost by a vote of 10 to 6, On the motiou to confirm Bechel, Blumer, Chaffee, Davis, Donnelly, Elsasser, McLeario and Madsen had voted yes. and Bruner, Bur- dish and Couway in thé negative, when Mor- earty’'s nume was called. Then followed a scene moro farcical than is usually seen even at a meeting of the city council, Morearty talked. Ho called upon the late lamented Jackson, Jefferson and uther eminent demo- oratic dead to turn over in their graves at t the sight of Omaha democrats voting for guch & king of ropublicans as John B. Furay. Ho told all about the sterling character of his own democracy and abused the other demo- eratic councilmen who were voting for Furay. *Iam going to vote no,” he shouted. Chovus of Councilmen—Say so then and sit nown. But Mr. Morearty didn’t mind a little thing like that and kept on for an hour or 5o aud finally voted in the negative. Mr. Osthoit also made a speech, a long one too, and voted no. Mr. Tuttle voted in the negativoand Messrs, Spect and Lowry in the afirwative, confirming Major Furay by a yote of 10 to 6. Messrs. Olsen and (ooper were absent. On the approval of Major Furay's bond, sizued by W. A, Paxton ana Frank E. Moores, there was another row. Morearty mado a'speech opposing it aud was followed by Osthoff, who said he had been 1nformed that Major Furay had used boodle to get democratic votes for his confirmation. Instantly there were demunds from Davis, Bechel and Chaffee for the name of the man who had given Mr. Osthoft his information. Mr, Osthoff named Mr. Bruner, and a de- mand was made for that gentleman to ex- plain his charges. Mr. Bruner said that Mr. Gibbon had told him that he had heard that Major Furay was negotiating for democratic votes. He didn't know anything about it personaily. He only told what he had heard that Mr, Gibbon had heard, Major Furay's bond was approved, Bechel, Blumer, Chaffee, Davis, Donnolly, Rlsasser, Madsen, McLearie, Specht_and Lowry vot- ing in the aMvmative and Brunor, Burdish, Conway, Moroarty, Tuttle and Osthoff in the negative, The committee on streets and alloys was instructed to have Eighteenth street between Farnam aud Douglas cleared of obstructions to enable the contractor grading Douglas stroot to proceed with his work, The contract for grading Charles street from Twenty-fourth to Thirtieth was ap- proved. The bond ordinance and the September appropriation ordinance were passed. Mr. Bechel moved that the bill of C. E. Bquires, for street sweoping, amounting to $7,544.45, be allowed and his motion pre- valled. This was the bill which was re- contly allowed and afterwards reconsidered and rejected by the couneil. As a majority of the members of tho eouncil desired to attend the German day festivities at the exposition hall an adjourn- z:em was taken at 10 o'clock until this even- g. e IN MEMORY OF JUDGE MASON.

Imtective Vizzard madean arrest last night over which the chief and other members of the police force aro in high feather. ‘Tho prisoner, who gave the name of Joun Riley, is o self-confessed professional burg- lar and safo blower, and 1s as dangerous a criminal as has been behind jail bars in this county in a loug timo. The arrest was mads in Sam Snyder's pawnshop on South Tenth street, betweon Haruey and Howard streets, Vizzard was in tho piace looking for a coat that had been stolen, when Riloy enterod. The officer was screoned from view by the later, but could himself see just iwhat was going on. Riloy pulled a bundlo from beneath his coat and laid it on the counter. As the cover was unwrapned, the detective saw & roll of post- agestamps 4s big as his arm. He waited to 300 no more, but slipped up to his man and placed him under arrest befora the latter had time to realize that there was an officer within a mile of him. Riley indignantly demanded to know what the officer meant by thus laying bands on him, but when Vizzard pulled aside his cuti- zon’s coat and showed his star, the crook coilapsed. Ho was taken to the station and locked up, but shortly afterward seut for the dotective and made a clean breast of 1t. Ho was taken into the chiof's office, where he repeated his story and ' smd that he burgled tho postofice at Evanston, Wyo., about three weeks ago, and broke open the safe, from which he obtained the stamps and £.60 in money. Ho was breaking into the strong box in the safe when frightened away. Thero was SLIS worth of stamps in tho roll that ho tried to dispose of at the pawnshop. Riley told the chief that ho was an educated burglar, and had received a thorough and systomatic course of instruction in safo blow- ing from oue of the most expert burglars in tho country. He had a lot of punches and drills at the time of the Evavston job that wero made expressly for him, and he claimea to bo able to open a safo as neatly and in as short order as any crimital in the land. Tho federal authorities at Evanston havo been notified by telograph of Riley’s arrest, [t is belioved that he is one of tho gang that robbod the postofiice at Sioux City, and sev- eral other postoffices in Town. 1t i3 thought that partner of his is now in the city, and tho police are looking for him. A reward of $100 was offered for tho arrest of the burglars, and Dotective Vizzard is feeling correspond- ingly bappy. Itis on important arrest, and ono_ that reflects credit on the officer’ who made it. — Mothers will fina Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup the best remedy for their children. 25 cents a bottle. SRS DETAINED IN THE PAUFERS' PEN. Western Union Stockholder Re- fused the Privilege of Landing. New Youk, Oct. 6. —Among the steerago passengers on the City of Berlin, which ar- rived Saturday, was John Nixon from Dub- lin. Nixon is biind in one eye and quite old aud feeble, Tho registry clerk, who took his pedigree, saw that he was shabbily dressed and sent him to the “detention pen,” whers presumablo paupers are held for further ex- amination. A fow hours later General O'Berne camo along. “You think I'm n pauper, do you?" de- clared Nixon. “Well, just look here.” He fumbled in his breast pociets a few moments and then produced twenty-five gilt-odged shares of stock of the Westorn Union tele- graph company, made out in his name and properly attested. Not content with assuring tho superintendent of immigration that ho was one of Jay Gould's stockholders, he dove down into another pocket and pulled out §00 waortn of Bank of England notes, T'ho total value of his stock and notes was between £2,500 and &3,000, U1 first came to this country fifteen years ago,” said Nixon to Geueral O'Borne. “I have been all over the states, but have lived in British Columoia mostof 'the time. By trade I am a painter, but I have done consid- orable speculating, and have been pretty successful at it, too. Four years ago I visited San Francisco. I had a fow thousand dol- lars which I wishod to invest, A broker ad- vised me to put_in in Western Uni 1 bought twenty-five shares. They were then quoted at S47¢ a share. Last April I went nome to Ireland. 1 have a sister living there, I decided to come here again to try my luck, and mean to dispose of my \Western Union stock and toyest the money in land, I'm go- ing through British Columbia, as I have done bofore, buying land whorever the best in- ducements are offerea.’ “Why didn’t you become an American citi- zen ! asked General Oberne. 0, I did not wish to,” was the reply. “I was never in tho states long enough ai one time to take out my papers, It would not be worth my while to'become an American citi- zen. 1 never wished to settie here. As soon as you let mo go_which I hopo will bo soon, T will leaye for British Columbia.” Nixon told a reporter that after he com- municated this information to General O'Berne the latter said: “I can't let you land. You must go back, so long as you don't think it worth your while to become an American citizen “That man they call the genoral,” Nixon sontinued, “is & mighty queer individual When he asked me why 1 did not become an American citizen, and I said becauso I did not wish to, he said [ must go back to Ire- laud. I unever beard anythig like it. m @ decent, honest man.and want nothiag from the geuoral or any other man. I meant no disrespect whon I said I did not wish to becowo an American citizen, 1 am as good man any day as the general, and anyono in Dublin will tell you that John Nixon kever raised a hand to injure anyone." “Itistrue I do not wtend to allow this man to laud,” said General O’Borne. *T am detwning him because ho is blind ana liable to becowse & pauper, It is true that he is worth noarly §,000, but I do not think that justifies me in allowing him to land. If some one gives a bond for him I will let Wm go, otherwise he will have to go baci."

Cnicaao Burrav or Tie Bee, | Cmicaoo, 1L, Oct. 6. | Witn the exception of Secretary John P. | Sutton, Rev. Father Foley of Stewart, la., and one or two others, the delegates to the | recent Irish National leaguo convention have ali returned home. Mr. Suttoa has little to say about tho future of the organization, but regards its existence a necessity and a guar- auty that when the time comes for rendering active assistance to an Irish movement, prompt action can be taken. He could not se0 much else to do at present, except to per- foct the organization and extend its branches. Fathor Foley was confident the new ieaguo would, ero long, show good work for Ircland. Ho was hopoful, if not assured that when the Irish parhiamentacy representatives mot next month thers would be a union of both factions in Ireland under the leadership of John Dillon, MINNIE HAUK'S BELLICOSE NUBBY. It Deputy Sheriff Kennicott hadn’t been magnaniwous, Baron Waurtag, the husband of Minnio Hauk, would have spent the night in the central police station. When the ofi- cor went 1o serve some papers on the great prima donna, tho baron put his wife into a cap, told the cabbie to drive like the wind, fnd then seizing the minfon of the law, threw him into the middle of the street. Kennicott drew a revolver, nalted the cab, served tho papers and tnen arrested the warlike baron and took him to tho station. Ho finally yielded, however, to tho prisoner’s pleading and perwitted him to return to his hotel. WORLD'S FAIR MATTERS, Hilmar Stophany of Berlin is at the Grand Pacific with @ big proposition which he will lay before the World's fair officials, for the orection of a Moorish palace to cost £00,000. Coston Bros. of Berlin aro backing the scheme. James G, Ramsay, secretary of the Board of World's Managers of the state of Montana, states that the exhibit from that state will consist largely of mineral products and that preparations are being made to build an artificialsmountain to contain a vein of ore, shafts, tunnels drifts and levels, just as in 4 real mine, and all the necessary' con- veniences for those who wish to go down and look at the mine as it actualiy is. ‘The exter- for of the mountain 1 to be covered with the native trees and grasses of Montana, and to have on one sido a waterfall and on tae other a miner's cabin Tho ways and means committee has recom- mendod that the grounds and buildings com- mitteo cousider the proposition of erecting a vauk and safety deposit building on the grounds. ; Director General Davis, some time this month, will accompany the special commi sian that will wait upon President Diaz an teil him all about the World's fair.

NO DANGEK OF MONEY STRINGENCY. At no time this fall has the call from out- side banks been as heavy as was confidently oxpected. The shipments of money from weel to week aro still too small to affect tho rate of interest. [tappears that the larger crop centers obtaied full supplies of coin and currency early in the season. As a mat- ter of fact, considerable money thus stored away at northwestern points to use in harvest has siuce been put out on call, to await bott dewand. The free movement of cereals from the prairie farms to tide- water has kopt the moncy markets in an casy condition, and the season has ad- vanced too far to admit of any fears of a steingency from the phenomenal crops. An improvement in local securitios is outlined by recent events on the stock board, but peopio still begin to wonder when the brilliant prospects of the country at large will make themselves felt with full force in Chicago stocks. 0DDS AND ENDS.

J. W, Morse, formerly vice president of the company and now general agent of the Missouri Pacific here, says that the state ment is unot true as faras he himself and those intorested with him were concerned. “We sold out to Erminger & Co. of Dos Moines,” said Mr. Morse, “‘and took good proporty, mostly land in Lincoln and Dawes counties, Nebraska, in exchanze for our stock.

Mr. Birkhauser londed his guns and de- clared war, Since t date he has been busily engaged upou the answor to Squires’ petition, and today the document will be filed in the office of the clork of the district court. The answer is of great length and starts out with a denial upon the part of the chair man, in which be states that he has ro per- sonal krowledge that such a corporation as the Barbor Asphalt Paving company exists. Ho admits the contvact for repairs, but de: nies that Squires has complied With its torms sinco it was entered into, which was on Mareh 12, 1580, Mr. Birkbauser openly avers that the Bar- ber company has neglectea and refs keep the strects in a good state of r that tho plaintiff has absolutoly vefusod to oboy the maudates of the Board of Public Works: that the company has tried to be the sole judgo of how, when and where repairs siould bo made, and in this respect it had set tho Board of Public Worls, and its chairman in particular, at deflance. Mr. Birkhauser aiso denies that ho bears any iil will toward the company, 1ts manager or any employe, and the chargo that o did, the deponent says, is whoily fuise aud untrue, The chairman swears that what he did do was doue for the best interests of the city and the public at large. After disposing of this question Mr. Birk- houser takes up and digests the original con tract. Ho avers that while it has been recog- nized as a contract, it 18 not only void, but is tincturea wita the grossest kind of fruud. It was signed by the chairman of the Board of Public Works and by the agent and manager of the paving company without uny leszal au- tuority from the city, but way ho does not say. The chairman’ also avers that the re paving and rovairs provided for by the terms of the contract were never advertised and that bids for doing such work were never in- vited, but that the contract was lot in pri pate to the Barber company at such an ex- horbitant price as to render it a fraud upon the city and the taxpayers: that che pri stipulated 1n the contract, S cents per squs yard, is at least four times the actual cost of making such repuirs and relaying such pave- ment. Mr. Rirkhauser continues his afidavit by addiug that at the time tlis contract was made both the chairman of the Board of Public Works and C. . Squires knew that the price was outrageous, and that the coun- cil_in approving tho contract failed and neglected to investigate the facts. The further charge is made that the contrac is based upon deception and fraud; that it is void, as it was made in divect violation of the city charter, which provides that ul public work shall’ be publicly let to the lowest bid- der. “The vencrable charman adds that it would be no fraud upon the part of the city to can- cel the contract and relet the work and in conclusion ho states that when the case comes on for trial it will involve questions over which & court of equlty s no jurlsdic- tion. st Magic Heaaacne Wafors, Curesal in 20 minutes. At all druggists o Hard on the Gas Compa Loaaxsronr, Ind., Oct. 6, —Circuit McConnell has rendered an opinion 1 the case of Shicrk vs the Chicago & Indiana Natural Gas company, sustaining the injun tion and restraining the company from cross- ing the old Wabash & Erie canal bed. Tho court held it was apparent from evidence that the purpose of tho compauy was to take gas to Chicago, and inasmuch as the law only al- lowed them to condemn lands to supply the citizens of this state, thoy skould not ba per- witted to make the condemuation. Tho court also held that the evidence showed it was im- possiblo to pipe gas that distance without ar- tificial pressure, which is prohibiied by an act of the Iudiana legislature. his is an important decision and will cre- o consternation among the projectors of the Chicago pipe line. T'he gas company will ap- veal to the supreme court, but months will elapse before a hearing can be obtained. Tho gas company cannot get zas out of the gas fiela to Chicago without crossing the old Wabash & Eric canal bed. The company has vested thousands of dollars in surveys, rights of way and laying vipes. : e The Howe Seales, the only seale fvith pro- tected bearings. No check rods.
