HELD BY AN INJUNCTION NOW. Movements in the American Water Works Deal Await the Court's Orders, MR VENNER'S SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS, e Charges Ex-President Conspiring to Wreck th ow the City Is Affected—I of the Afair, More trouble is browing botween the two fighting factions of the American Water Works company. The difficulties are appar- entiy serious, and wero brought about by the visitation to tho city several days ago of Wiltlam A. Underwood of Boston and Clar- enco H. Venner of Now York. Theso gentlomen and the respectiye intor- ests they ropresent have heen at swords' ends ever since Mr. Underwood rotired from the presidency of the company, or, as Mr. Venner claims, was deposed from his posi- tion, Thelr presence in the city the past week has caused much speculation as to what eithor gentleman would do in regard to the affairs of the water company. The annual meeting of the company was to held in New York city the first of the year, but_on accouut of the dissension between stockholders and the directors a factional fight aroseand neither side is able to do any- thing. : After the retirement from the prosidency by Mr. Underwood, the vice president, Mr. Venner, has been acting in that official ca- pacity and trying to protect his interests as well as those of stockholders on his side of the fight. Mr. Underwood has also been quietly at work and claimea upon his arrival in Omiaha that he was here merely in the in- terests of the Farmers Loan and Trust com- pooy to which the water works company 1s ndebted in the sum of $§400,000, secured by a mortgage on the plants here and at Denyer. Applicd for an Injunctio On account of tho attorneys for C. W. Vonner making a vain effort to suppress tho facts of what would soon transpire, it was learued that Harry W. wlliott of the last, through Mr. Veuner as bis agent, secured a temporary injunction against the American Water Works _company, Dennis Sulli- van, F. P. McManus, George Deas, William A, Underwood and _ other directors of tho company and the Farmers Loan and T'rust company. The application for the restraining order was made to Judge Hopewell in the district court yesterday aftornoon. Mr. Venner asked the court in s bill of complaint against tho company and divectors 1o rostrain them from making any aisburse- ments of the corporation’s funds, Trom allow- ing tne Denver officers to receive any sal- ary, from iuterforing with tho financial affairs of the company or interfering with tho col- lection of revenues, from exercising the duties of directors, especially those apper- taining to tho office of vice president, secre- tary and treasurer, from procuring outstand- ing claims against the company to bo used for the purpose of forcing tho company to de- fend itself on an application for a receiver. In his petition for the enjoining order Mr. Vonner recites tho fact of the American Water Works company’s organization and of its exclusive ownership of two subordinate companies at Omaha and Denver. He al- leges thut none of the defendants except Mr. Underwood are bona fide owners of stock 1 the company, but to more easily operats the munagement and control the Denver mlant thoy bavo been wrongfully permitted to hold stock owned by other stosknolders by having the stock placed in their names. Calls Underwood a Wrecker, The next_installment of nterest on tho bonded indebtedness of $100,000 becomes pay- able Iebruary 2, 1862, to tho Farmers Loan and Trust company, and amounts to $12,000. “This interost could b casily paid, it is as- serted, with one-third of the monéy due tho company from the city of Omaba. The city, as sot fortn, owes the company, for hydrant rental, £7,000, and this amount, it is claimed, is ncedod by the financial managoment to conduct, the affairs of the corporation. Mr., Veaner further avers that ever since the forced retirement of Mr. Underwood from the active management and control of the company’s business he has been striving to regain his former authority and _influence in the control of the corporation’s affairs Having failed to attain such an end by law ful means, by the support of the direciors, it is alloged ho is now endeavoring to accom- plish his purpose by resorting to desperate means of wrecking tho fiuances of the com- pany, by misusing its revenues and prevent- g them from reaching the company. By this action the company has become in- volved in financial cmparrassment, render— fng it unable io meet its current obiigations, and thus got its affairs in such a bad shape as to furnish some pretext for the appoint- ment of a receiver. Iu this way the peti- tioner claimed that Mr. Underwood was trying to regain bis lost prestige. Protending to_act as ageat for_the Farm- ers Loan aod Trusi company Mr. Veuner asserted that Mr. Underwood is endeavoring to vrevent the payment by tho city of $37, 000, the indobtedness to the company. This was being done by a false protexi that if such payment is made the payment of tho next installment of nterest on the $100,000 loan by the trust company as trusteo will be defaulted, but tho real purpose, as alleged, is of damaging the company’s credit and crip- pling 1t financially and instigating the re- cent attachment suits against the concern, Unauthorized Salaries, According to the by-laws of the corpora- tion no salaries are allowed to the ofices of yice president, secretary avd treasurer, but Dennis Sullivan of Deuver pretends to hold tho vice prosidency and takes a salury of $06,000 a year for his services. I By McManus, secrotary, receives 500, and Georgo Deas, 'treasurer, gets $1,500 a year, The latter is a brother-in-law of Mr. Underwood. After tho payment of these so called unauthorizod saluries it is clalmed that tho surplus remaming from revenues are held at the Denver oftice by their connivance to hold it. The petitioner further alleges that the ab- sorption of funds in unlawful salaries, the tieing up of revenues at both Omaha and Den- ver and the prosecution of the schemo to causo a default in the payment of nterest on the bonded debt and thereby bring about a forclosure, will induce an insolvency and @o u great wrong to other stockholders, In conclusion, Mr, Venner's claims aro that he Donver people and My, Underwood en- sered into a conspiracy to enable Mr. Under- wood to carry out his” designing scheme to wreck the company and deprive it of its use of revenues and iacome, and also interfere with its management. Unless restrained from carrying out the aileged conspiracy the vetitioner claimed that irreparable injury would be done to all stockholders not int, ested with Mr. Underwood, .. The restraming order was granted by Judgo Hopewell, who sot the case for hear- ing at 10 o'clock on the worning of January 10, ‘Ihe plaintifi’s bond was fixed at . ——— Gesaler's Magicrtealacns Wafers.

Mr, Omaha Shippers Get a Low Tarlr Baltimore Consignments, The freignt rate on corn between Omaha and Baltimore has been manipulated to the extent of 2 or# cents a hundred in favor of certain shippers, bu® rival grain dealers and competing railronds havo got a drop on the schemo, The tariff rate is 26 cents per 100 pounds, but it has heen knowu for soms timo past that a botter rate was being given by way of the Burlington and the Baltimore & Ohfo systems, and a quiet investigation was 1nsti- tuted, Certain Omaha shippers were instructed by Baltimoro buyers: *Route via Beards- town, care Ohlo & Mississippi railroad, and do not deviate from these instructions.” This furnished the clue to the schema, “Tho only road from this section reaching Beardstown is the Burlington. The Ohio & Mississippi is a part of the Baltimore & Ohio system. Beardstown is in Illinois on the line of the Burlington between the city of Burlington and St. Louis, ‘Pae rate from Omaha to_all Mississippi river points is 14 conts por 10), aud because of 1ts location that rate also ap- plies to Boardstown. Ou the through busiuess tho railroads havo a system of dividing the freight on a percentaga ,and the Mississippi is used as oneof tho division points under the operation of that system, the Burlington’s proportion of the through rate would bo about 17 conts, althougis its local tariff 15 only 14 cents, As & matter of fact the Burlington carries the Umana consignments to Beardstown for 14 cents, and that, appavently, is all it gets outof tho business §t is supposed that there is a manipulation east which makes itap- pear that a division is made on_ tho Mis- sissippi river basis, whereby the Burlington receives 17 cents and tho Baltimore & Ohio only 9 cents instead of 12, 1t is supposed that tho 3 cents (the differ- enco borween what the Baltimore & Ohio ctually gets and what it appears to gey) is given to tho favored shippers, who are Balti- move parties, It is not charged that the Burlington is a party to the alioged discrim- ination. Some time ago the Santa Fe system had a somowhat similar scheme in operation at Streator, lil,, but tho Interstate Commerce commission put a stop to it by calling for an exhibit of tho divisions. There may bo trouble over the Beardstown manipulation as s00n us the compoting railroads got enough evidence to maxe a case. e i A The perfume of violets, thd purity of tho lily, the glow of the rose, and the fush of ilobe combine in Pozzonis wondrous pow- or.

At7 minutes after 2 o'clock County Clerk Sackett called the new board to order and nominations for chairman were declared ir order. Mr. Paddock nominated Me. George Timme. Mr. Bertin moved that ths vote be taken by ballot, Mr. Paddock moved that the roli bo called and that the mewmbers cast their votes for their choice, Mr. Stenberg moved as a substitute that theelerk be instructad to cast the five bal- lots of the bourd for Mr. Timme. This was carried and Mr. Timme was unanimousiy chosen, All of this only required a few minutes, but tho preliminary skirmish was long and arduous and Mr. Van Camp, who held the koy to the situation, ovly capitulated after ho had everything his own way. Monaay night the democrats canvassed the situation thoroughly, explaining how they pro- posed to carry the issue after yestor meeting was called to order by County Cl Sackett. They promised Van Camp eve thing in sight and some things that were someiwhat remotely situated in the dim, dis- tant future, but the promises failed to at- tract that gentleman. Then they cracked the party lash about his hoad, neck and heels, but that had anything but the desived effect, for when the cracking resounded the loudest, Van Camp ubsented himself from the meocting, which was continned with only two members present, Came to His Medicine, Yesterday they captured him again, hold- ing him a willing prisoner until he capitu- lated, and then everything was lovely until just before adjournment. At that time Chairman Timme performed an act that made Rome howl. The routine business had been trapsacted.

Chairman Timme smiled whiie Paddock and Van Cawp looked huppy. Van Cawp moved that the appointment of the committees be confirmed, Paddock seconded the motion. Before any opposition could be offered the motion was put and carried. Berlin said the move was unfair and un- heard of in the history of even a ward cau: cus, It was simply a deal conceived in in- hlnul,\ and brought forth by pot house poli- tiewns, Stenberg explained that the motion . was voted upou before he ever had a chance to learn who the members of the committecs were. Fle had stood by the chairman, hoping for fair treatment, but had been sadly mis- taken, Paddock went to the relief of the chair- man, telling nim that he had acted wisely. Stenberg demanded the roll call on the ac- ceptance of the committees. “The cierk will call the roll,” said’ Chair- man ‘Timme, and this is how the vote stood on sustaining Chairman Timme: Paddock, Van Camp, Timme—: tenberg—2.

D. Roche, president, J. H.' Hungate, and K. M. Stone, secretary, begs to submit its ond annual report, accompanied by vouchers and returned checks for,all expen- ditures, The levy of 1891 was $5,080, against tho lavger sum of §7,500 for 1500, and wo felt we might be hampered in our work; wo are gratified, however, to say that the new pon- sion law has largely increased the number of pensioners and_conscquently relioved our funds. While the oldest soldiers are grow- ine more and more feeble and requiring moro help, vot most of them only call upon us whon they can not make their own earaines together with their pension suffice. The average aze of thoso assisted in 1800 was 1 years, for 1801 it was still higher. We have relieved 201 families, among thom were 45 widows.

The secrotary being connected with the Pension depariment and vory familiar with pension matters has been enabled to further the pension matters of dozens of those whom we have assisted,but at a very great expendi- ture of time. e judicious expenditure of nearly §,400 by the commission has been a very groat labor, We have as beforc been as- sisted materially by the good women of the relief corps of the difforant Grand Army of the Republic posts who bave visited many familics and contributed large amounts of worn clothing.
