Oontractor Mengedoht Tells of Architeot Berlinghoff’s Peculiar Proposition. WANTED TO WRECK A SCHOOL BUILDING. Mr. Berlinghoff Denles the But Says He Urged Golng After Liberal Extras the Board of Education. Accusation, from The new Kellom school building, now almost completed, appears to be a sort of Pandorn’s box for furnishing wrangles and difcuities between the Board of Education, the architects, the superintendent and the contractor and subcontractors. Ever since the dificulty that arose last August over the question of superintending the construction of the building, when the board decided to give Superintendent Hamil- ton absolute authority over the con- tractor and the architects who had furnishea the plans there has becn trouble breaking out here and there and from pros- ent indications there is more to follow. Wanted the Bullding to Fall Down, Speaking of the work of the new building Mr. Mengedohtsaid tho other day to a Bee reporter: “I have had more annoyance since 1 began to put up this building than I ever had on a building In my life. I would not go through the same thing again if I could be assured of wmaking €10,000 out of it, I have tried my best to put the building up accord fog to the contract, but the coo- stant cross-firiug between tho archl- toct and Superintendent Hamilton has made mo a great deal of trouble and has occaslored considerable unnecessary expense. In the first place I supposed that 1 was to ‘work under the supervision of the architecis, but soon after the building was commenced 1found that Mr. Hamilton and M. Berling- noff did not agree, and of course 1 could not work under two superintendents who gave opposite orders about things. Mr. Berling- hoff wanted me to put in an iron beam over the arch at the main entrance, but Mr, Ham- ilton ordered me not to put it. He said the poard would not pay for it because it was not necessary. ‘The board finally ~gave s'lr. Hn‘imllon full swing and tkon I did as he irected. “Berlinghoff was displeased with that and he wanted me to build that arch where he fotended to havea I beam put in so that it would fall down when the weight came on it from above. He said I could have my mon build it in such a way that it would break down and then we would throw the blame on Mr. Hamilton because ho would not let me put in the iron beam. I told Berlinghoff that I would not do & thing like that; I wanted to build an honest, substantial building, and would do so, even 1f 1 lost money at it Berlinghoff offered to go to the builaing at night and fix the arch so it would fall down if I would let him, Ispurned every suggestion of that kind. A Scheme for an Extra Robbery. “Later on Berlinghoff told me that I ought to get a few thousand dollars outof tho board by mnaking it appear that Cady & Gray had to build tne stairs all over again because the rise in the first story was changed by the board after the builaing had been be- gun. Hesaxd if 1 would listen to him and Ferjzuson, who works for Cady & Gray, they would show me how to fix the school board. He said they could show me how to smear it all over the board and Hamilton too, but 1 would not listen to him. 1 would not stoop 10 50 low a thing. My word 15 as good as my bond today with men that I bave built houses for, and I want to keep it that way."” What Berlinghoft Says. Mr. Berlinghoft was seen in the ofiize of Bell & Berlinghoff at Council Blufts. Speaking of the arch over the tront door Mr. Berlinghoff sad: ‘“We in- tended that there should be an iron beam over that arch because an arch of brick, as it is at present, is liable to give way and crack aftera fow months. Auy first-class archi- tect will tell you that a wide brick arch is not very substantial without an iron beam or eye as they call it, to hold the brick firm. We had the I beam up there, but Mr. Hamilton would not let Mengedoht put itin. You mark my word when I tell you right now that that very arch will spring before many months. Here is an example of brick arch work on the Grand Central hotel and somo of them are sprung already.” “Did you ever advise Mengedoht to put up that arch where you wanted to put in the I beam in a slipshod manner so that 1t rlol’fld fall down when the weight came upon Igave him to such advice as Mr. Bell, who was present during the con- versation, suid: “What an absurd idea. Who has been telling that?” W hen the gen- tlemen were informéd that the information came from o less n man tuan Mr. Menge- doht thoy looked at each other in astonish- ment, and Mr. Berlinghoff repeated tbe statement that he had never given such adyico, “Did you advise Mengedoht to strike the | Board of Education for extras on the stair buildiug on account of a change in the plans after part of the work had been donef” “Yes, I a11,” smd Mr. Berlinghoff. “He bad a right to ask an extra for that. I under- stand that parc of the stairs had be built twice on account of that chenge and Mengedoht ought to have put in an extra because it was not his fault.” Clalms the Board Was in Error. ““The board went all wrong,” said Mr. Bell at this point, “‘when our authority to super- vise the building was taken away. Every architect ought to supervise the construction of the buildings for which he nas drawn the plans, He kuows better than anybody else how the building ought to bo put up. When tho board decid- ed to dispense with our services and turn the supervision of the building over to Mr. Ham- ilton, in direct violation of our written con- tract, then the trouble began. Tho work has been a succession of blunders ever since then and the building today is not pat up ac- cording to the specifications. The roof has not beeu braced as called for in the speci- fications, and yot the board has allowed the contractor &0 for the extra bracing that has beou left out. Tho locks shotld have been Yale, as called for in our specifications, but the contractor has put on the Corbin lock which 1s much cheaper. Mr. Hamilton did not notice this until Mr. Berlinghoft called his attention to it. We understand that he has since oraered the Corbin locks tagon off and the Yale puton. There are other things about the builaing that are not in accordance with the specifications, but the board has decided o go it blind, When the committee went up there last week to investigate, the architects were not con- sulted, I suppose the board will finally accent the building without asking us whether or not it 1s the building our plans represented.” Do you expect to hold the board for the additional amount usually paid architects for superintenaing a building “Wo certainly do. Our bond and contract specifically state that we were to superintend the construc tion of the building and when it is com- pleted and accepted we shall proceea to collect the balance due us for drawing the plans and about $00 for superintending the construction of the building.” e DeWitt's Sarsaparila cleanses the blood, increasesthe appetite aud tones up the sys tem, It has benefitted many people who have suffered from blood disorders.

The cause for the delay on the part of the manufacturers is to allow & little more time for those who are talking about building an auditorium, to come to some definite conclusion. 1t there is any certainty that & new and better building will be put up the manu- facturers will_encourage the enterprise by holding their exposition in it. - A neglected cough Is n dangerous menace to your bealth, A bottle of Piso's Cure for tonsumption will cure, Try it, Druggists. he. i Dr. Cullimore, ocutisi. 333 building TRADE IS NOT DULL. Jobhers Take Exceptions to a € Agency's Discouraging Report, Many of the jobbers of Omaha are feeling very much annoyed over a report sent out by Dun’s commercial agency to the effect that trade in Omaha was auiet last week. The facts are, the jobbers assert, that trade has been better during the past month thar it ever was before. Mr., Ruhl, of Gilmore & Ruhl, wholesale clothiers, said: “Our trade for February a3 better than we have over had before.” William Koenig, of “the Kilpatrick-Koch Dry Goo ompany—Our business for Fab- ruary was fully 30 per cent greater than for the same month last year. W. A. L. Gibbon—We did a business of 30 er cent in January and 40 per cent in Sebruary greater than that done by Darrow & Logan during the same months last year. W. I. Kierstead of the Dewey & Stone Fur- niture company—Our jobving trade for Feb ruary was more than double that of the same month last year. W. H. McCord of McCord, Brady & Co.— Ourtrade was never before as good as iv is now. Othor jobbers make similarly flattering re- ports and they feel that an injustice is done them by tho report which gues to every town in the United States and is published in nearly every daily newspaper in the union, Bradstreet, for the week ending March 5, roported splendid jobbing trade with houses hardly abie to fiil ordors and money very easy.

The Proposed Market House will Accommo- date the People's Party Meeting. A solution of the problem of a building in which to hold the national convention of the independent party that will convene in this city, July 4, has been offered by J. A. Lina- han, manager of the Market House company. Some four weeks ago Mr. Linahan submit- ted a proposition to the city council, in which he with other gentlemen agreced to erect a market house, 132 feet square, at _tho corner of Twelfth and Jones streets, under certain conditions, The matter was reforred to tho committec on public property and buildings, where it has sinco remained. Tonight the friends of the ordinance will ask to have it referred back, to be considered in committee of the whole. Mr. eLinahan said yesterday that if the ordinance passed within any reasonable length of time he would go to work and havo the building completed not later than June 15, By putting a large force of men work the to building could be erected in sixty days, If completed in time, Mr. Linahan said that the building could be used as a conven- tion hall. The rent would ' be nominal, as all he wanted was enough to pay for putting in and removing the seats that would be used and occupied by the murabers of the conven- tion. e 1 feel it my duty to write you 1n regard to the benefit_your Bradycrotine has been to my wife.

Chief Seavey here chipped in and asked the doctor what e meant by malice, and further remarked that he had proferred the charges and rather objected to being charged with malice aud spite work in his official ac- tions. “The doctor held his own, repeated his for- mét statements about Von' Mugge being ill and took his departare, In ekecutive session the case was laid over uutil the next meetiag in order to get, a wit- ness whio, it is claimed, gave the officer the whisky. ‘The commissioners tulked about the new tolegraph poles being put up on Farnam street and looked up the ordinance to sce who had the right to grant permission for poles to be erected.
