8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEI DAY FEBRU 1892, _— CUTTING DOWN SALARIES Mayor Bemis Gives a Sample of His Re- trenchment Policy. NO USE FOR HIGH-PRICED PLUMBERS Much Tmportant Business Transacted by the City Conncll—Getting Ready to Com- mence Public Works ~Notes of Last Night's Meeting. Presidont Davis with his usual vigor rushed along the businoss of the council and at 10 o'clock the deck was cleared. As soon s the seventoen mombers who were in attendance hed responded to their names Mr. Chaffeo moved that tho rosigna- tion of J. H. Dumont, street commissioner, be taken from the tablo. The motion pre vailed. This was followed by another motion by Mr. Chaffee to accoptthe resignation of Mr. Dumont. Like the former motion this one provailed and the office was declared vacant, Mayor Bemis vetoed the reform ordinance relating to the plumbing department. He thought the ordinance was not in the interest of reform and retrenchment. He thought that the city could hire men at from $30 to per month insteal of paying them &4 to & por day. The crdinance, the mayor sald, failed to repoai the sectlon allowing the de partment a clerk at §60 per month, The veto ‘was sustained. Reports from theold city officers wers re- ccived and placed on file, Chairman Birk- hauser of the Board of Public works stated that he had requested the Union Pacific to eroct a stairway at 1ts crossing over Twen- tioth street. He had received the informa tion that the railway intended to abandon tho crossing as a poiut to tuke on or put off passengers. The mayor nominated J. H. Winspear for stroot commissioner. The appointmont was confirmed by a& voto of 12 to 5 and the bond approved. John H. Butler was ap- pointed licen<e inspector and special agent for the legal depurtment. Tho appointment wae laid upon the table. P. J. Hoffman of Chicago sprung a sen sation in a letter. He had sent a letter to Mayor Bemis which was transmitted to the council. Mr. Hoffman stated that the Fenton Metallic company used fraud iu securing the contract for vauit fixtures. He said that the bid was 100 per cent above the list prico of the articles to be furnished. Mayor Bemis suggested that it was timoe to got ready for public work. He advised the drafting of ordinances defining improve- ment districts, Printing Contract Awarded The Be The contract and bond of Tne Bek to do the city printing for the ensuing year was presented and _approved. Aftor the bond was read, the World-Herald offered another kick. Mr. Hitcheock in a letter stated that if the council would readvertise for bids he would print all notices in the morning ‘World-Herald at the price bid by Tine BEer, and would print the samo in the evening edition freo of charge. It was evident that the council took but little stock in Mr. Hitcheoclk’s proposition, for when tho voli was called upon the ap proval of Tnr Be's bond only two members voted “'no," The contract with J. W, Furnas & Sons to lay permanent sidewalks of Berea sandstone was reforred. City Attorney Conneli stated that he was unable to state positively on the logality of C. E. Squires’ bill of $7,945 for streot cleaning performed during the months of August, September, Octover and Novem- ber, 1880, Ho had visited the Board of Pub. lic Works, whers two members had advised paying tho bill. The council would have to decide whether or not the claim was just and the work properly performed. Mr. Chaffee wanted to hear the report of ox-City Attorney Poppleton. The opinion was road. Mr. Connell stated that if Mr. Squires had performed his work he could collect the whole of his pay; if he had performed half of the work, he could collect half of the pay, but 1f he had not done any of the worlk, then ho could not collect a cent. Mr. McLearie said there was an inclina- tion upon the part of some members not to png’cuy bills unul forced by the courts, r. Specht was satisflea that the work had been performed. He thought the bill should be paid. Mr. Steele said that he un- derstood that the city engineer had never complained to the Board of Fublic Works of the quality of work, Mr. Chaffee said that tho streets wero not swept as well as the streets of othor cities. The asphalt stroots wore well swent, but the stono paved streots wero left in wretched shape, Mr. Jacobson was of the opinion that if Squires was entitled to bis money the bill should e paid. It was against the best in- terests of the city to allow a bill to remain upon the books for three years, Mr. Bruner remarked that Squires bad failed to purchase sweepers as he was instructed. Mr. Specht stated that Squires bought the lerge sweep. ers as s00n as he received instructions from the Boara of Public Works. Mr, Elsasser could nov sgree with Mr, Specht. The whole matter was referred to the city attorney, to confer with the Board of Public Works. ' City Atsorney (Connell reported upon the bill” of Hugh Murphy for paving Sherman avenue at the intersection of Com- mercial street. He advised that the matter be taken into the court, there to have deter- mined the amount due Murpby. ‘The Board of Education asked for a con- ference with the council to 1earn when its rooms in the city hall could be ready for oc- oupancy. 'he Omaha Public. Market House company asked the council to establish market house districts. The officers stated that the idea was to erect a markot house at Twelfth and Jones streots containing forty stores, forty stands and sixty-five booths. The building would cost from $100,000 to $150,000 and would e ready for occupancy July 1. In addition to tho' districting of the oity the company asked to have the property ex- cmpted from taxation, By a resolution introduced by Mr. Specht the Board of Public Works was instructed 1o preparo specirications and designate what stroets should be paved during the year 1802, well as what streets should be repaved. ‘wbe comptroller was orderea to readvertise for bids forthe safe keepiug of the city funds. The boud of Chbarles Soudenbery, boilerinspeotor, was presentod aad approved. Approved the Contract, The contract with the Metropolitan Street Ligbting company was presented and ap. proved. The contract provides for lighting the streots in the suburbs of the city with oline lamps for the term of two years. he lights are to be of sixteen-candlo power each, and are to be paid for at the rate of $16 g:r anopum per lamp. The contracts and nds of Hugh Murphy and the Berea Sand Stone company for the construction of per- manent sidewalks were placed on file and the Board of Public Work instructed to readver- tise for bids in accordance with the new specifications, ‘The bid for the censtruction of oak cross- walks was placed on file, the committee ad- yising that pine walks would answer all pur. es. Among ordinances introduced ‘were the following: Ordering the removal of Tom Murray's lumber piles on Harney street; providing for the establishing of a market munu:firucrihlng the duties to be performed by the Jicense inspeoctor; defining the duties of the police court clerk and re- ducing the salary from $125 tw $100 per @moeath; providing for the appointment ol o elork to collect evidence; amending ordinance 8,400, the salary ordinaace. The provisions of the ordinance were published in yester- dl\&‘l Ber, hen the appropriation ordinance came up for passage Mr. Elsasser asked if it pro- vided for the paymeut of J. H. Dumout's salary as street commiasioner, He was in. formed that it did, Mr, Elsasser said that Dumont had not done any work and there Wis 00 reason why he should ask for pay.

The wheels of the mills of justice have been oiled and the machinery of the Febru- ary term of ths district court was started yesterday moraing with all of the seven judges on the bench. In the law and eauity rooms but little busi- noss was transacted. Judge Davis was tho busyliman and devoted the whole of the morning session to taking tha pleas of pris- oners from the county jml. With one excep tion thoy all pleaded not guilty. The man who broke the monotony of re sponding ‘ot guilty” to the reading of the informations was Charles Cares. The in formation charged Cares, in due and togal form, with the ommo of having entered the barn owned by George H. Boggs, with _intent to steal either horses or harness. Cares admitted that everything charged against him was true, and that he was only sorry that ho bad been unable to walk away with his plunder. As a warning to others, the court sent the man to jil, there to remain for the period of sixty days and afterwards to pay a fine of §500 and the costs of prosecution. Tho jailer was cautioned against ovorload- ing Cares' stomach and was told to be par- ticular that during the first ana last fifteen days of confinement he should not eat any- thing moro filling than bread and water.

Cal Jones was charged with having burg- larizod Lew Smith’s store and_dwelling_on the night of November 28. He also fur- nished bail and was released to appear at some futuro aate.

DAtthe session held Monday afterncon subpeenas were issued for fifty witnesses to appear and testify in tho cases against saloon keepers within the two-milo limit, Yester- day morning the session was devoted to taking their testimony.

WILL CONSIDER THEIR PROPOSITION General Manager Dickinson Sends ply to the © ittee's Requ No General Advance In Wages Will Be Mad The Union Pacific grievance committees have received a letter from Assistant Gen- eral Managor Dickinson in ropiy to their proposition of last week, which asked for a schedule of increased wages and a number of changes in rules. Mr. Dickinson says in that communication that the new schedule of wages submitted by the committees proposes an aggrogate in- crease of many thousands of dollars, but as the change of scale varies on different divi sions he did not kuow what the total advance would amount to. He therefore asked the committees for time to have the computation made bofore giving them an auswer or re- ceiving the full committees, The inference 1s that Mr. Dickinson is willing to take up the various divisions and consider each on its own werits, but ho adds in plain and unmistakable language that the Union Pacific will not entertain a proposition for a general advance in wages. In this con- noection he says his company is paymg its omployes as woll as any railroad in the coun- try, and much better than many of those in ths west. The letter is aevoted to this ques tion of wages. Its tone is not hostile, and in fact1s very courwous without boing com- mittal, In discussing the situation Chairman Kiser of the conductors’ griovance committee sald : *“There is no danger whatever of a strike] 1f there is such an_impression 1t should be corrected, bocause it may unjustly injure the Uuion Pacific and it is liable to prejudice our causo. Mr. Dickinson has met usiu friendly spirit. We are suro our requests will receive fair and respectful jconsideration, and we be- lieve all differences wiil be settled without any trouble. Mr. Dickinson has promised a conference with the full commit- tees as £o0on as he can finish examining the propositions we laid before him and particularly the schedule for an in- crease of wuges. He says it will require considerable figuring and take somo time, and we are awaiting the result. You can say that the conductors have only the most friendly feeling for the compray and have a0 intention of causing trouble.” I never know & time for many yoars past,” said Chairman Reilley of the trai men's grievance committes, ‘*‘when th was less likelihood of a strike. This meet- ing is a regular annual affair, and we have no canse for vomplaint at our reception by the railroad officials. We aro confident our differences will be settled amicably." OFFICE CHATTER.

Wood has been promoted to Mr. Whitney’s place, but retains his preseat title of assistant general froight agent. The title of first assistant was a makeshift growing out of one of the numerous readjustments in Union Pacific affairs, and is now abolished. Mr. Charles J. Lane, formerly traveling freight agent, has been promoted to Mr. Wood’s desk, and will be assistant general freight agent for the Nobraska division, Mr. Wood is recognized as one of the ablest freight men in the west, and there is no more faithful worker anywhere. Mr. Laue has an extensive acquaintance among shippers aloug the lines of the Nebraska division and has the happy faculty of making friends on sight, Combined with these qualifications 1s o thorough grasp of the business, and he will be a valuable man in his new position.

They fully realize this fact and take every opportunity of turning their wformu- tion in & chaunel where it will make political capital. Ivnow dovelops that the meeting Monday affernoon was a stormy one. Major Paudock occupied the chair and at the same time proposed to do the greater part of the talking. The county board employs Oscar Stevens as a private clerk. It is'a well known fact that there 18 1o law authorizing the employment of such & man at a salary of $100 per month, orat any other sum, Two years ago Mr. Berhin argued that the board had no rignt to cwpioy a cler, and cver since that date he has voted against paying the clerk s salary, ‘l-luhuhlg that such payment was contrary 1o aw.

Major Paddock avarmed up at this, and, 1n a voice tremblingawith emotion, urged the democrats to stand Ltogether, He said they wore in the majosity and did not propose that any porson oownected with the minority should dictate tormsto the three democrats, A republican was about to speak when tho chairman commanstad him to sit down The salary of the deputy in the county clerk’s office was ifixed at $100 per month, and the stenographer at 0. In the rogister ofdeods’ office two clerks were ordered aisobarged, tho board finding that more wore omployed than were actually needed. 1t was also learned that one clerk was employed at 815 per week, when tho law provides that such clerks shaill receive but £0 por month. - This is the samo principle for which Mr Berlin fought one year ago, but was snowed under by the democratic majority. et b Spoopendyke Has Asth " and hie spont thirty-two mi nutes trying to tell his wife to go to thunder and get his bot- tle of Dixon’s Asthma Cure, and she (poor thing) fluttered around and brought somo broth and a hair brush and things, and Spoopendyke nearly died, but he ot the Asthma Cure fiually and’ then—well, I'm sorry for his wifo, i i Lo Dr.Mec Grew, private disenses, 14th &Far - Any grocer can supply you with Quail rolled oats—delicious for breakfast. - Removed to 1515 Harney from 215 S, 15th, C.

Cicaco Burzav or Tne Ber, | Cuicaco, I Fob. 2, § Carl Schurz, the great New York mug- wump, has unwittingly kicked up a terrible row in the Rhinelander society recently or. ganized here, Ho has also beea expelled from the society. A few weeks ago an hon. orary membership was tendered him. He aceepted, complimonting his Chicago coun trymed upon the formution of a society which had forits principal object the enter- tainment of visitors to Chicago from the the fatherland during the World's fair sea- son. Some of the members, who loved Schurz when, twenty-elght years ago, he flod from Germuny under sentence of death for inciting the populace Lo revolution, but who have hated this name Schurz ever since he went hack to Germany a wealthy Ameri- can citizen and brose a bottle or two with Bismarck ana Wilhelm, ‘-packed the cau- cus" at the last meeting of the Rbinelander society. One of them moved to reconsider the resolution inviting Carl Schurz to accent an honor membership. Then all the rest voted “‘aye” as hard as they could. The thing was done, and Schurz was outsido, Ever sinco that unhappy Friday evening the socialistic Arbeiter-Zeitung has been con- vulsed with laughter at 1t all, and the Staats-Zeitung bas maintained a policy of severely dignified silence. Chicago Citizen Jallea In Madelra, A few years since, Manuel Moeline, a iong- time naturalized citizen, went back to his native land to preach the gospel, but for some technical violation of the law ho was arrested Ho appealed to his frionas hore, and they called on Dr. Gallett, head of the Institute for Deaf Mutes and a personal triend of Presi- dent Harrison, and Richard Yates, and re- quested them to intarcede. I'he former wrote to the president and the latter to Blaine, and today both received replies that suitable structions had been promptly forwarded to the consul at Funchal World's Fair Aftairs, It is now reasonably certain that General St. Clair, as chairman of the national com- mission board on federal legislation, will have charge of the bill asking for 5,000,000 appropriation from eongress for tho tair. It is also suid thatif this appropriation stands in the way of an appropriation to support the national board ofticers, the latter will not exert themselves for the $5,000,000 bill. This arrangement has yot to be ratified by the Chicago directors and perhaps by tho boara of control which meets next week. Presi- dent Baker is understood to bo opposed to the plan_at present, belieying that the local board should present its own case before congress, but he will probably change his views before the end of the week.

The wind continued to freshen throughout the night and the position of the Eider grow worse and worse. She pounded quite hard upon the rocks. The crew staid by her. The stern has sunk further, lifting the bow higher. Should she slide off the ledgo sho would suvely go to the hottom. Mariners think she is almost suro to be lost. Captain Herneck signaled that the leak was gaining rapidly on the pumps and the Ather- field lifo boat crow made preparatioas to go Lo the assistance of the crow. At 11 a.m, the position of the Eider became most critical. The tide was rising, and as it approached tho flood the water poured into the steamer. After the hold was full it pulled tho stern down, leaving the forehold perfoctly dry. The sea washed over the quarter deck. ‘This morning two ofticers and eight fire- men, having with them a oase of gold, were landed from tho Eider by a lifeboat. At.noon a roport was recoived stating that the Eider was sottling and there was little hope of floating her. The pumps on the Eider were kept work ing at full capacity all night, but the sea kept slowly gaining, the water pouring through a a hole in her side where the rocks bad torn the iron plates, At daylight signals were ran up asking for help. Lifo boats were im. mediately sent out and after a dangerous passage everybody was landed in safety.
