“NEBRASKA CENTRAL'S PLANS | Gourt Asked to Appoint Appraisers to Con- ' demn Right of Way, PROPOSITION TO THE COMMISSIONERS 'What Other Roads Think of the Project— Fast Trains to Bo Put on by the Buarlington—Other Rail- road Matters. The ofcials of the Nobraska Central rail- ay company wore busy yestreday in pushing matters looking toward the construction of thelr lines in this city and Douglas county. At an early hour yesterday morning the vice gpresident§of the company, J. H. Dumont appeared in the county court and filed tho plats of the Sensatio T H E AQUO FILTER road as it i1s proposed to run in the city. This plat shows the location of the proposed steel bridge across the river at the foot of Cass street. Double tracks and & ® mammoth structure are shown. Upon the plat double tracks run west on C stroet to & point near the intersection of Tenth street. , There the lines branch off. Oaerunning in a southeasterly direction for a short distance and then nearly due south along the bottom; after which it turns southwest to the pro- posed depot near Fifteonth and Chicago stroets, Tho other line after leaving the intersec- tion of Tenth and Cass streots bears north until Izard stroet is reached, after which it runs northwesterly through tho biuffs west of Twenty-fourth strect and into tho valley through which tho Belt Line railway runs. When once in this valley the contemplated line is to the stock yards at South Omaha, with the main line running nearly due west into the interior of the state. The plans and profiles filed in the county court provide for a steel viaduct or elovaied line, not less than twenty feet in height, from the west approach of the bridge and over the tracks, tho right-of-way and grounds of the Union Pacitic, the Omaha Belt Line, the Omaha & Northern Nebraska, the Missouri Pacific, the Fremont, Elknorn & Missouri Valley, the Chicago & North- western, tho Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha and the Omaha & Southwestern railways, The petition further states that the No- braska Central Railway company has stakoed out its right-of-way aud grounds, and alleges that an agrcement canuot be reached as to what damages should be awarded lot owners and railway companies over which the pro- posed lines are to pass. For this reason the company asks that the judge of the county court direct tho sneriff of Doug- las county to summon six disinterested Yreeholders to inspect the real estate thus damaged, if any damage there be, and report tho same to the court. Judge Ellor has taken the matter under advisement and will name the appraisers within a aay or two. " 4 (S LAID BEFORE THE COUNTY. Vice President Dumont Puts His osition to the Commissioners, At an adjourned meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, to be held next Tuesday afternoon, the members of that body will decido the question of whether or not they will submit a proposition to the . voters of Douglas county to allow them to Yote upon the issuance of §00,000 of twenty year bonds to aid the Nebraska Central Rail- h ‘way company in the construction of a double 1 track steel bridge over the Missouri river at tha foot of Cass street in this ecity. Yestorday afternoon a delegation consist- ing of J. H, Dumont, vice president of the Nebraska Central company, C. J. Green, E. Rosewater, J. A. McShane and a number of others appeared before the commissioners. Mr. Paddock apologized for the remarks that he made last Saturday at the commissioners’ meeting. He stated that he did not under- stand tho import of the request for the oial, but was glad to learn that it was for the purpose of considering & matter that was of consideratle importance to the people of Omaha and Douglas county. After tho bonrd had been called to order the county clerk read the proposition asking for tho calling of a special election to vote upon tho question of issuing bonds, Text of the Proposition, ““The undersigned, the Nebraska Central Railway company, a corporation duly organ- fzed and exlsting under and ni virtae of tho laws of tho state of Neoraska, proposes to Prop- O . .

Of the last 500 prescriptions ordered Wilcox’s nams was attached 10 but twenty-five, which showed that ho was uot earning his monay. Mr. Paddock did not think the prescrip- tions wero a fair test of the amount of work performed. "The resolution was referred. Judge Eller’s bill for a carpet m his office was rejected, tho reason being toat the judge unless they wou)d consent to the payment of excessive tolls. No one company would undertake the construction of the bridge alone, but a local syndicate had sivce been organized and it was proposed to construct the bridge and let all roads cross their trains on = falr and equitable basis. The Union Pacificcompany had defeated tho projectand had secu! contracts with som.e of the Iowa roads. This left matters in a shape where the looal syndicate was compelled | had ‘:mt. been given wuuthority to make the me, or alone | purchase. ‘I;oulldubu:l:: L::ldgoldm without any ‘The contract for duing the plumbing in the county jail was awarded to Graham Parke, The Junlor Bar association of Douglas county was given permissicn to hold a meet- ing in court room No. 1 this oveuing. assurances that contracts for its use could be made, The money market was also in a bad condition to insuro the advancement of many new enterprises. ‘As soon as tho project of the local syndi- cate was out of the way tho Union Pacifio went back on all of its agreoments, both as to bridge tolls and switching charges, and the city was left at the mercy of that com- pany. “The bridge was not built, and conse- quently the subsidy that was voted was never called for. What [t WIII Do for Omaha, In spenking of the benefits that Omaha would derive from tho construction of the bridge, Mr. Dumont stated that the eastern roads were anxious to get into Omaha, to the Union stock yards and into the country in the interior of the state. At least $4,500,000 would be expended in the city within the next two yeas. This would in- olude money paid out in the construction of the bridge, sidings, bulldings and tunnelling through the hills west of Twenty-fourth street. Besides this, it would give Omaba eastern counections with the Delaware, Lackawanps & Waestern, which was now au Osage, Ia.; it would give a route to Chicago which would be twenty-six miles shorter than the Burlington; 1t would place Omaha in direct communication with the lumber distriocts of the north; it would open & mar- ket for Iowa hogs and cattio and in all proba- bititios it would result in bringiog the Balti- more & Oblo railroad inlo the city. With these here Owana would be connected with the great lakes, and wheat could be shipped to Chicago or other lake ports at @ rate of 7ig cents per hundred weight. With the eastern roads reaching Omaba, thoso from the southeast would come and with them would come the live stock that now goes tn Kansas City, Williug to Pay Its Share, Mr. Dumont said that the scheme for se- ourlng the funds to build the bridge and a ilne of road into Iowa was feasible and that Douglus county was not assumiog any great risk. His comnm[: was_willing to spend its money in downg this work for Omaha and he wanted 1o see if the voters of Douglas county would stand by the proposition to benefit both city and county. In regard to the expenses attending tho election Mr. Dumont stated that his com- y would pay ooe-third and the two- ffi-"m he thought should be borne equally by the city and the county. 1f the bridge was bullt he proposed to make 810 cent passenger rate against a 25 cent rate oharged by the Union Pacific.

DOUGVLASS FOR. THE STANDARD BEARER The Plan Creates Some Stir Among & Few Credulous Peoplo — Talk With Leading Afro-American on the Subject. New York, March 80.—The announcement recently that ex-Mayor Vaughan of Omaha, who caused to be introduced in congress a bill for the pensioning of ex-slaves, had in contemplation a movemeut to place a colored presidential ticket in the field next fall with Mr. Douglass at its head, has created consid- crable talk among tue colored people in this city. In connection with the proposition Mr, Thomas Fortune, one of the leading public spirits among tho colored race, when inter- viewed on the subject tods; “As far as Mr. Vaughan's proposition is concerned, that Mr, Douglass should be nomiuated for prosident, or that bis name should be suggested in connection with the presidency by & white man of, I believe, southern antecedents, upon a platform in which the fundamental plank should be the voling of pensions to ex-slaves, 1t is remark- abletosay theleast. [tcentains novelty,uotto say humor, of the broadeést character, I have received a lotter today (rom 8 white friend, whose name is known throughout the coun- try, in which this parsgraph occars: ‘I sug- gost and urge the seloction of as many Afro- American delogates Lo the national conven- t1on as shall proportienately represent the colored population of-all the states north aud south, and that whén those delegates aro chosen, they shall, as sbon after as possible, g0 uniostructed, and when they get there 8grae 10 vote 10 unity.l ( *Supposo ull the AfrolA merican delegates, without threats or bldster, quistly and with dignity voleas a unit for F'rederick Douglass aud Joan M.

Suppose thatsuch a tickel was placed in the tield, to whal extent would it deiract votes from the other tickets! Though Mr. Dougiass is strong with bis people, I candidly helieve, and I think sy brother colored people be- lieve with mo, that he would receive more votes from the live of aboiiuonists in Now Eogland and the west than be would receive elsewhere. *“'he nomiuation of Douglass or any other mao simply because he belongs o tais or that race I do not belleve io.

V. Wood of McKee's Rocks, Allegheny county, Pa., in speaking to a traveling man of Chamberlain’s mediciunes said: *I recom- mend them above all others. I have used them myself and know them to be reliable. Ialways guarantee them to iy customers and have never had a bottle returned.” Mr. Wood had hardly finished speaking, when a iittle girl came in the store with an empty bottle, It was labeled, “Chamberlain’s Pain Belm.” Tho traveier was interested, as there was certainly a bottle coming back, but waited to hear what the little girl said, It was as follows: ‘‘Mamma wunts another bottle of that medicine; she savs it 15 the best medicine for rheumatism sheeve r used.’ 50-ceat bottles for sale by druggists. s EXCEEDED ITS AUTHORITY. Clalm That the Councll Must Superintend Expenditures for the Library Building, Tuesday night the council passed a rosotu- tion autnorizing the library board to proceed Wwith the construction of the new library building and approving the action of the board in inviting competitive designs for the building. This action was opposed by Councilmen Elsasser, Munro aud Braner on the ground that the charter made it clearly tha duty of the council to perform the work wkich it has by resolution delegated to the library board, Section 59 of the charterreads: ‘“The mayor and council shall have power to establish and maintain public Libraries, reading rooms, art galleries and museums, and to provide the nocessary grounds and buildings therefor”, ® % 41t 15 held by the opponents of the council resolution that this being a charter provision, the council has no autbority to violate 1t either by ordinance or resolation; that if tho library board assumes the duties of the council in this matter it can in no wise be legally held responsible to the city or to the taxpayers for any act donc or left un- doue. It is argued further that every councilman votiag for this resolution will be held liable under his individual bond for any monies wisuppropriated. Section 125 of the charter Iiinl'yej‘rfl\'ldel *that no liability sbail be ucurred, debt created, o conwract involving the expenditure of mouey appropriated by the council, except by a majority of the eu- tire council upon all 'the yeas and nays and the record of the council proceedings shall sbhow how each member voted.” This section also makes each councilwan liable under bis boud i case ho votes away the city’s money in excess of legal limitations, ““Pho council was wrong in adopting that resolution,” said Councilman Bisasser. 1 opposed 'the wensure, as 1 kuew that the council could nol coufer any such authority on the library board.” 1t is the business of the council to exvend tuat $100,000 and to superinteud and let Lhe eon- tracs for thu construction of the library build- ing. Why the council adopted such a resolu- ton I can't understand. Accordiag to the law in the matter the council cannot give anybody or any board the right to construct the building. "How would the public know anything about wnat the library board did in connection with letting coutracts and superintending such a structure ever atlends the mectings of the library board, and it caunot bo given authority to expend the city's money. However, I don't thick the resolution will stand, as it wil have o go to the lnn(or, and wheo it reaches that digoitary it will probanly be vetoed. 1. would require u vote of twelve Lo pass it over the voto, and I thiok last night ouly eieven voied for the measure.” City Attorney Connel! i “The coun- oil undoubtedly has the right it it wishes to exercise it of controlling all the library work itself, and certainly ocan insist upon having plans and contracts suomitted to it, but in this case, as thore 1s no subsequont levy to be based upon their action, they have author- 1ty to delegato this work to the library board. Atany rate [ belicve this is only preliminary and the council will have tho final word in the matter.’" _— Dewitt's Sarsaparilla cleanses the blood, S0UThH OMAHA, New Buildiugs Projected. As the season advances building projects multiply and already enough new buildings ure assured in South Omaha to indicate that the growth of the city will be fully equaj to the dovelopment of the industries wnich sup- port it.
