ENTANGLED WITH THE LAW. Railroad Attorneys Pefors the ftate Board + of Transportation. . ARRANGING A DANGEROUS CROSSING, Before the Case is Concluded Matters an Kmbarrassing Phase coting News from Lincoln, Lixcory, Neb,, Dee. Soecial to Tie Bee,| A party of railroad attorneys ap- peared before the secretaries of the Sta Board of Transportation today to settle a little dispute between themselves with the secrotarics as reforces, Bofore they wot throngh with their case they bocame en- tangled with tho law und were extremely sorry that they had ever appoared befors the secretaric The question in dispute between the two roads, arising through correspondence by tween Mr. Calvert of the B. & M. railroad and Mr. Summerfield of the Kansas City & Beatrice, was as to whether tho road that had mate the crossing (the Kansas City & Beatrice) should maintain the crossing at its own expense or whether the B. & M. should bear a part of the expensoe of the maintenance of the crossing. On the prop- osition of M. Calvert the two roads agreed to meot the board of secretaries of the State Board of Transportation and submit the question 1n disputo for abitration When it came to the matter of stipu- lating they were unable to agree as to the questions to be decided by the secretaries. The B. & M. claimed, through its attorney, Mr. Deweese, that to maintain the crossing meant not only to keep it in repair as it now is, but to maintain it in a safe condition, he charging that the crossing as it is now is un- safe to the public. - This case was recently triad before Judge Broady as to the question of dnmages, the right to cross wnd the kind of crossing. In his arcument beforo the board, Mr. Deweese, of the B. & M., raise the question us to tho unsafety of tho cross- g in its present condition. At that point Secrotary Johnson interferod and sugeested that the secretaries would at onco take notice on their own account of tho ques tion of safety and would procecd at an early dato to call the roads to an account and have tho matter of the safety of the crossing settled as provided by law. The attornoys for the Kausas City & Beatrice insisted that the question of sl was not_before the board and had not been raised in the orizinal correspondence between the roads, To this Secretary Dilworth replied that the secre- tarivs would, nevertholess, on thepart of the public, take up the question of safety and that it was not within the province of the attorneys to stipulate or submit_for arbitra- tion such questions as they might suggost and lowve unsettied the morc important question as to tho safety uf the public. Tho sucretaries will serve notico on the roads at once and the quostion as to tho safety of the crossing will be decided. Had the Car to Herself. Mrs. Benjamin Keohlor is the name of a married lady who took possession of a car on the B. & M. fiver east today and scared tho other passengers out of several years' growth. Mrs. Keobler's hushand is & mail carrier at Denver and the two were on thoir way east. Shortly after leaving Hastiogs sho was seized by 4 fiv of temporary insanity and drawing a revolver firad threo shots through the door.

State Superintendent of Public Tustruction Goudy today decidod an intricate point of law, which came up from Ducll county. The statutes provide that no seuool direcior can enter into u contract to teach & school in his district unless upon a vetition signed by two- thirds of the votors. In one of the Duell county districts a gentlemun mado u contract to teach a sehool for a certain length of timo. Before the time specilied had elapscd a vacaney on the school board occurrod and he was appointed to fill it. Superintendent Goudy decides that there is nothing in the statute making the toacher ineligible to mem- bership on the board, but the facy that tho contract to teach was made before the teacher was & member of the board, whilo not affect- ing the present contract would make turthor contracts with tho teacher who has becomo a momber of the board impossible, axvept upon potition as proscribed by the statutes, Valuable Additions to State Libr The state library was onriched today by the addition of alarge number of rare and valuablo iaw books, Among them are copies of the original session laws of nearly all of tho states of the Union. Somo ide of the rarity of these volumes may bo eainod from a perusal of tho titles. For instance, theco is'a copy of the New York statutes for 1752 and 1774, Maryland_statutes for 1787, Penn- sylvama' statutes for 1785 and 1788, and Rhode Island statutes for 1793, There are 145 of those raro volumes, allin an excellont stato of preservation. They will prove of great value to the studonts of law u Nebraska. Among the works recoived to- day are complote sots of the Australian law reports, thirty volumes in ail, Sucd For His Subscription.

Ho also sald that if the other millers of tho state would be equally liveral, bo would donate a whole car load.

Licutenant Pickering Arrives with His Ogalalia Company. One of the most unusual military specta cles ever beheld at Fort Umaba took place tast evening about 5 o'clock. Company I of the Second infantry arrived over the Elkhorn road from Ping ‘Ridge. Tnere is nothing strange, or unusual about that statement, but when it is learncd that company I1s made up of Indians—-roal, live Sioux Indians—then thero appears to be con- siderable novelty about the incident. Lieutenant Pickering succeeded about two weeks ago in securing recruits enough among the Ogalalla Sioux ludiaus to fill his company and he was ordered to bring his company to Fort Omaha. Thero aro forty- six men in tho company aud there are ton squaws and about two dozen papooses con- nected with tho company. They will be stationed at fort Omaha for some time. The War department appears to be per- suaded that the Indian soldiers will become more quickly accustomed to military life and civilization to bave them removed for a time from everything that calls to mind the old tribal relations and their wild, roving life ou the vlains.

The contract and bond of Hugh Murphy for paving districts 374 and 411 were ap: proved. Tho contract and bond of Katz & Caliahan for grading Chicago streot from Forty-first to Forty-third strects were approved. Bids for furnishing feed for the horses of the various city dopartments were opened, ud Mr. Osthoft kicked because James tephonson’s bid was roceived, as it. was filed ono minute late. Tho other members thought tnat a diffor- ence in watches might have made the dffer- enco. The bids were roferred to the city com:ptroller with instrucgions to tabulato and propare a contract with tho lowest bidder. The bill of the waterworks compauy for hydrant rental from July 1, 1301, to Jaouary 11392, amounting to $37,140.53, was read and Mr. Morearty vanted it allowed at once, Mr. Elsasser objected until it had been re- forred, as the last bill had beon cut down and the city was saved over $500. 1t was ro- forred to the committee on fire and water, Mr. Madse alone voting *no." ‘The bill of E. 1.

The committeo on printing reported in favor of accepting the bid of the Omaha Printing gompany for oflica suppiies aad blanks and the Rees Printing company for lithographiug, Klopp, Bartlett & Co. and the Rees Print- ing company protested against accepting the bid of the Omaha Printing company because tho figures in tho bid of latter company had been chingod in many instances, revised and prices lowered, and they velieved that 1t was s0 changed after the bids were oponed. Mr. Olsen, chairman of the priuting com- mittee, stuted that ho had noticed that some- thing seemed to bo wrong, but neither he nor anyone else could tell when the changoe was made. The city clark demanded an investigation t0 sea when the bids had been changed and by whom. {3 Mr. Osthoff was sick of intimations of fraud and boodle, and thought that defeated bidders had been howling “fraud” lone enough, aid e was infavor of hereafter ro- jecting the bids of all such partios. Mr. Chaffee was in favor of an investiga- tion, but Mr. Olsen was opposed to it. Tho latter did not think it was a serious matter, aud even if bids had been tampered with, the council could not flnd ivout in a thousand years, Mr. Rees was invited to explain what grounds ne had for his ussumptions, and he detailed at somo length the apveavauce of tho troublesome bid.

Bishop Fellows Delivers an [ntek- esting Address Before the American Institute of Sacred Literature at Farwell Hall, Cutteaao Buneav or Tine Be Citioaao, Il Deo. 2 Johin Davies, one of the best known min- ing experts in tno west, died at the Sher- man house last night of pnoumonia. Mr. Davies had made and lost several fortunes in Colorado and Califorain. Ho died almost penniless, Heo was the original swner of the Little Chiof mine, noar Loadville, which ho sold some ten yoars ago for 800,000 to a Chicago syndicate headod by J. V. Farwell and the late Wirt Dexter. Afterevery mem ber of tho syndicato had made fortunes out of the mine, it was sold for #,000,000. The Little Chief is still being workod Dishonesty in Business, Yesterday was the closing day of the ses sfon of the American Tustitute of Sacred Lit- eraturo at Farwoll nall. The interest of the day contered in the addross to business men by the Rev. Bishop I Ho said “Tho cr 1 men of today were bogun centuries ago and were among the chief causes that led to the ruin of the kingdoms of Isracl and Judab. Their bal- ances wore deceitful and their measure wero faiso; thoy gained their wealth by de- frauding their fellow men. Tho same state- ments can bo applied to tho great majority of business men ot woday. They sell adulterat ad food and ease their consciénce by thinking that thoy did ot do the adulterating. 'Ihey give short weights in conl, thoy use mairks and brauds that are calculated to deceive, and sell liquors and beverages that cannot fail 10 have a deleterious effect on tho person. It is by these methods that the business men of taay acquire money, and it is by these practices that the whole business intercourse is mado corrupt. It is to abolish such prac- tices that institutes of this character are or- gunized and maintaimed. The business man who knowingiy sells an_artlclo that is not what it is represented to bo, and then goes to church and prays on Sunday, will bea long way from heaven when the judgment day ar- rives. The business men of Chicago are busy men, and many of them claim to have notime to devoteto tho study of the magnitude of tho evil or take any steps to stop it. Every man las the time to do_this thing if ho only has the disposition. Study your bible lesson each Sabbuth and give a_portion of each day to the study ot such principles as will ele- vate the mind. If you give onc-tenth as much time to such contomplation as you give to your business affairs, vou will {ind that both vourself and the world will bo bettered. Your work is to elevate the morals of people and youraid is indispensable to us." ‘Ihe Cuthbertson Divorce.

While Tadmit'that I tad no right to threaten tho couple with imprisonment, I still beliove that Ididvight. The evidence in the case was vlain. Cuthbortson sworo to facts which forced mo to grant the divorce, though I could not for the life of me see what attrace tions a man like Cuthbertson could have for a woman like Mrs. Dougias, who was a boau- tiful woman."
