PAY FOR HYDRANT RENTALS. Representatives of the Water Company Reply to City Attorney Poppleton, HOW THE DISPUTED BILL ORIGINATED at the Council Has Been Giving the Corporation the Worst of a Superintend unt's 1 Statement, Superintendent A, B, Hunt of the Ameri- can Wates Works company, us well as other officers of the eorporation, tell an entirely different story in giving tneir version of the water bill for tho rontal of hydrants from July 1 to Dacember 81, from that told by Councilman Eisassorand City Attorney Pop- pleton, “Idon't faol disposed to oriticize the werk of Mr. Poppleton,” said Mr. Hunt to a Ber representative, “but as Mr. Poppleton made the chargos at the council mesting T think, howeve aro untrue and without foundation, they snould bs auswered to certain extent. When tho assertion was made that the company's property was in posseseion of the sheriff the city attorney knew he was not teling tho truth, ~ Mr. Poppletou bas never as yet filed an answer 10 our injunction suit and, as a lawyer, ho well knows that the city cannot be garni- sheed on the atachiments against ths com- pany. No municipal corporation can be gar nisheca, “As to tho compuny reincorporating to go into the federal couri, that staterent 1s in- correct. We are incorporating for other reasons, which Mr. Poppleton kuows nothing avout. “Paving on North Twenticth street might be delayed, but the dolay cannot bo attribu- table to tho company. Wa have laid mains on that street along 1,200 or 1.G)0 feot of ground and have put in two hydrants, but as we have only two customers nlong that line we can't afford to put in servico pip This is what the fight is on, and we refuse to take such chances. “Tho city's bill against tho company amounts 1o about §200 for damago done on Farnam streot noar Forty-second. It wus on account of a main being pulled apart by the breaking of a sewer main. 'I'ne stroet commissioner was under tho impression that the water main bad been broken. Wo re- fused to pay the bill as we did not think it was right, and to satisfy myself I went with my foreman and inspecied the main. I found that it had neurly been pulled apart. This was no fault of ours. “Mr. Underwood, who was then president of the company, in order to settle the acter, wade the city council a fair proposition. He asked for the appointment of a committae of the council whose duty it would bo to juvesti- gate the water main and if the committeo do- termined that the company was at fault the city would be compensated for the damage. We agreed to abide by the decision of the comumitteo. The agreement is still on_file with the council. T'nis was not dono and we did uot proposs to take tho word of the street comnissioner who had not been on tho ground. Conse quently he refused to pay the so-called dam- age. “Tha company wants to do everything that s fair, but we don’t propose to bé buli-dozed by the cliy.” What Attorney Webster Suys, Ex-City Attorney Johu I, Webstel sel for the water company, was also seen, and in reply to the question about Mr. Pop. pleton’s statement regarding the water com- pany being reincorporated in order to go into the federal convt, said : *The statoment is incorvect, The Ameri- can Water company which has been operat- ing the Omaha plunt for several years was un incorporation of the state of Illinois. Under that corporation there was never any trouble between the water company and the city of Omaha, and the company never had any liti- gation with this city so far as 1 know. The 1llinois corporation made all the improve- ments that have been made in the water plant in Omaha since the coutrol ot the com- pany passed from the hands of tho Omaba stockholders, which was long before Mr. Poppleton became city attorney. [t is truo that & year or more ago an amalga- mation of the Denver City Water Works company with the Ameri- ican Water Works cowpany was had, to ac- complish which result it was neccssary to croate a new vorporation, that wes the only way in which the American Water Works company of Illinois could obtain the owuer- ship of the Denver plant. The presont com- pany was incorporated in New Jersey us u mere matter of evidence, the laws of New Jersey being more fayorable to such consoli- dation than were the laws of either the state of Illinois or the state of Nebraska., That was a purely business proposition. So far as going uto the federal court 1s concerncd, the Lilinois company could have gone into the fedoral court just as well as the present cor- poration. Lt is self-evident, therefore, that the present corporotion wus not organized for any purpose of going into the federal court, us it wus not necessary to do so. I do not sec what objcetion Mr. Poppleton should maka to the company ascertaining its rights, if any it have, in the federal court. Does he mean to intimate that justice is not adminis- tered in the fedoral courts as fairly as in the state courts! When*Mr. Poppleton was at- torney for the Union Pacific railroad com- pauy e always went into the federal court. Jid he do that to accomplish unjust ends, or sunply to obtain justice Q nt, “1f the company’s property isin the hands of the sheriff, has ita vight to receive money from tho city " was asked. “Ido not understand Mr. Popploton to have said that the moneys or revonues of tho water company had been attached, and 1f not, 1 cannot undévstand what he meant by such aremark. It is not the business of the city o question tho right of the water company 1o receive monoy until some procedure has been commenced to which the city was made o party, and nothing of that kind has taken place.” Tuis well known to every laviyer that a municipality like the city could not be gar- nished by a creditor of the water company. 1 do not understand from you that Mv. Pop- pleton said that thero had been any garnishee process served on the city, or auy other pro- cedure to which the city was a party. ‘This excuse for not paying the hydrant rental has vo foundation whatever. It is true that at- tachmonts were served upon the real estato of the water company, but that in no manner interfores with the 1ixt of the water coin- pany to receive money due from the city. Any statement to the contrary is u mere pre- varication, Has the water company been an obstrue- tion to the city or delayed public improve- meuts (" soun- extion of Garnish Who Shall Dictate? ‘“I'be city council has, 1 think, uulawfully undertaken to compel the water company to wains on streets where the city refused to locate fire hydrants. Undor the contract Dbotween the city and the water company, the city had no right to do this, The city coun- her uudertook to compel the water company 10 muke servica pipe conuection from ifs mains on certain streets, This, I believe, the ity had no right to do for roason that there is nothing wn the contract requiring the company to make such servica pipe connection. It has never been done by the water company at any time since the plant was built, The understanding between tho water company and the olty previous to tho present adminis- tration has alwi been that such service pipo connections were mado by private prop- erly owners at their own expense. To re- quire the water company to make such sery- ico pipe connection on uew streets would givesuch property owners a groat advantage over all other persons who had herotofore vaid for such connections. The injustice of the provosition is apparent from . mero statoment of 1t. If it were once admitted that tbe eity councll could arbitrariy de- clare that the water company should undergo this extraordinary expense on ome streat, then the city might require like expense on every other street, for which expenditure the water company would receive no com- pensation whatever. “lnstead of the water company undertak- ing to run the city the question has been whether the city council shull diotate the ex- penditure of money belonging to the water company, or whether the water company should undertake to protect itself against ublawfui, encroachment upon its Corporale ulnorlv. In that view of the case, the injunction en- o and water company obtained an jolning the ety from reauiring it make this service pipe connection, nlso from undertaking to take pos- sesson of the mains, I this position of the watcr company 18 Wrong, why has not tho city attorney moved to vissolve tho fnjunction fnstead of permitting it to stand for over two months withoutany action on his part! ““Tne question of the rights of the water company and of tho city can be properly adjusted in that suit at as early a date as the city desires, Under these circumstances it seems somewhat unseomly for the city attor- ney to say what you have reported— That he wis in favor of taking 1he bull by the horns through the channel of the city council. -— ‘fhoy had lotsof wedding vresents, but the most precious was & box of Haller's Aus- tralian salve.

Francls Tuniea, o Former ¢ A Citize Sulcldes In San Franciseo, Francis Tunica, one of the best known architects in the west, committed suicide in San Francisdo,Christmas evening, For years he resided in Omaha, and drew tue plans for Dr. Miller's fine residence at Seymour park. Ha was about 60 years of age at the time of his death and has several children living a son huving been connected at sne time with the Union Pacific at South Omaha, Mr, Tunioa came to Omaha from St. Louis and at once took position among the leading architects of the city, but his marital difi- culties became . proy upon him and it is thought that was the reason for his self murder, Many of the Francis Tunica, for he was competitors in the building of lall.

Francis Tunica, aGerman, about 60 years of age, became dospondent and ended his lite on the day which the whole Christian world regards as the most joyous of the vear. Tunica was alandscape artist by profes- i and_a_good one, He was last in the of the Nerth Pacific & San Fran- railway. For the last three months cceased had lived 1 the lode- house on Sutter stroet. He owed the proprietor for a month’s rent and also £10 borrowed money. Of late Tunica had been unablo to get work and he became desponden He wrote to his twosonsin Chicago ana uasked tuem to send him some money, but they failed to do so. Tunica be- came more desvondent than ever and fre- quently asserted that he meant to make way with himself. On Christmas night at about 7 an unusual sound wus heara in Tunica’s room, bat no attention was paid to it at the time. Yesterday the chambermaid was unable to get into the room, and, after soveral offorts, she reported the matter to tho lanalord early in the afternoon. A locksmith was sent_for, who succeeded in forcing the lock. It was a horrible sight that met the eyes of the investigators. Tunica lay on the bed with a ragged wourd in his right temple, On his face and on the bedcelothes were clots of congealed blood. In his right hand was firmly clutehed a revolver with which the dead of self-destruction had been accom- plished. The bullet ha¢ passed through the suicide’s head and had lodged in the wall. The noise heard on Cliristmas night was un- doubtedly the fatal shot and death must have besn instantaneous. The coroner’s ofiice was immediately noti- flea and the body was removed to the morgue. e Five Huzdred Alillion Dollars will be spent at the **World’s fair.” Now is the time to secure a hotel, boarding house or other business to make a fortune.
