The oocupants of 8. Farnsworth's resi dence on South Bigath street were awaken ed about miduight Thursday night by a noiso of falling glass down stairs, They at once sur- mised thata burglar was paying them a visit, and a campaign of intimidation was commenced ugainst him, As there were no men about the house, this campaign was somewhat of a mild one, but it had the de- sired effect and the burglar went. In tne morning an examination of the premises was made, and it was found that tho midnight visitor had made & protty thorough search. Ho got in through the laundry door, which had been left unlocked, and after getting in- o the basement removed his shoes so as not 10 be heard, and hung his hat on the cellar stairs that it might not interfere with the workings of the brain; T'hat he left in quite a hurry wus shown by tho fact that when he lcft he was bareheaded and in his _stocking feet. A large numuver of burned matches were found 1n differont parts of the house. Ho finally succeeded 1n finding the only oil lampin the house, but it was empty. In picking 1t up he koocked off the enimnoy, and it was the noise of the breaking glass that aroused tho women. Ho then took the lamp dowa cellar and tried to fill it out of the gasoline can, but fortunataly it too was empty or the house and all its occupants would in all probability have been blown into kingdom come, along with the burglar Limsell. About that time the noises began to procoed from the second story, and he left unceremoniously, without taking anything h him so faras coula be learnod. he samo burglur, or oue like him, ontered tho residence of O.

Looking i the mirre sho could see tim occasionally as he pussed tho door, and saw that he was tall, dark complexioned, and wore o black bat. She whispered to hier husband, who awoke and asked, with a suituble growl, whal he wanted. The burglar did not stop 1o ex- plain, but made a hasty oxit by the back door.

Freeman, cashier of the Little Sioux Savings bank, is credited with having played an odd game on the institution for which he wus working, according to the statemonts made in a peution filed in the district court yesterday. It alleges that on the 7th of last February one G. R. Bridge- man owed the plaintiff $2,025, which was se- cured by a mortgage on & lov of cattle, and he also owed the dofendant $1,115, which was not sccured in any way. On the date above mentioned it states that Freeman took advantage of his position as cashier and con- solidatod all bis own claims ngainst Bridge- taan with those of the bauk, credited his own account with 21,115, and took that emount out of the bank’sefundas, with intent to de- fraud the bauk, and without the knowledge of any of the other ofticers of the bank. All the property covered by the mortgaze was sold, and the bank realized only $2.534.70. 80 that a balance of $6%0 is left coming to the baak from Bridgeman.

HIS HONOR ON THE CITY HALL ARCHITECT He Discovers Numerous Faults, so He Al- Teges, in the Conatruction of the Baild- Ing — Ordinances Introduced—A Lively, Interesting Meeting. | The members who attended last night's council meeting put considerable snap into their proceadings, transactihg the business with promptnoss and dispatoh. The first thing that they did was to koock the mayor and bis vetoes but of the vox. The mayor was ou hand with nis veto oa the Henry Loh- mann frascoing contract, the full text of which was published in yesterday's Bee, The veto was read and when the roll was called and Mr. Howell was the only mun who held an opinion that agreed with the mayor. Upon the quastion of the surplus funds the mayor handed in this communication, which was referced: “Under the arrange- ment, as at presont existing, the city 18 re. celving from the banks lnterest at the rate of only 2 per cent per annum on the daily balances. 1 have reason to believe that there 1s & considerable amount of the city funds that could be made to realize & much larger rate of interest and thoreby save several thousand dollars to the city, by investing the same 1n short-time bonds of tho city, ~Section 102 of the charter provides that 1t shall be the duty of the mayor and council, by ordinance or “concurrent resolution, whonever thoy decm proper 50 to do, to require that any money 10 the crodit of any special fund, on account of which bonds may have boeu issued, be iv- vested 1 short time bonds of tho city or other good and safesecuri ios. Assuggested, 1 believe that by carcying ont the provisions of the chartor a large sum of money, amount- ing to thousauds of dollars, could be saved to the city. [ respectfully suggest that this matter be referred to the finance committee for its careful investigation and cousidera- tion.” Stirred Up the Fight with Beirndort, The mayor stirred up the old fight between himself and Architect Beirudorff. In this connection hie wrote like this: I respect- fully call your attention to the condition of the elevator service in the new city hall. It 15 important that the olevators, cages and pumps should be carefully examined and Iully ested bafore acceptance of the same. It is doubtful if the pumps are of sufficient capacity to do the work that will be required. It is cortain that the pipe in use with the clevators is of insufficient size and must bo changed. The plans for the posts and cages aro so defective as to render a portion of the elevators dangerous. Action should ve taken without delay to provide new doors for tho cages, made on an entirely different plau from those now 1n use to pre- vent accidents, Other radical changes must be made in order to render a portion of tne elevators safe. As now run, a cnild, or even a grown person, is Liable to have a nand or even an arm taken off by reason of the ar- rangement of the elevators and doors and tae unreasonable large spaces leftin the elovator doors. “In view of the many blunders made by the present architect, I suggest the desira- bility of securing the services of a competent architect to prepare plans for such changes as may herealter bo necessary. Changes not only in the elevators, but in other places about the building ars absolutely required. It 15 a notorious fact, of which every city official about the building is fully aware, that the present architect uoes not give any time or attention whatever to the construct- fon and completion of the city hall. 1 have no desire to engage in any controversy with him, and do not propose so to do. 1 do pro- pose, however, to porform the duties re- quired of me under the charter and to call the attention of yeur honorable body to these glaring defects, and so far as 1 can possibly do 0, proteot the interests of the taxpuyers of Omsha.” g ‘This was referred to the committee on public property and buildings. $ The city engineer and the Board of Public Works reported upon the condition of the pavement on the Tenth street viaduct., They said that 40 per cent of the blocks had de- cayed, b per cent of them wera rotten, 10 per cent had rotted to the depth of three inches or more, and thot 25 per cent had commenced to decay. They d'd not think that a coating of coal tar woula be of much benefit. The report was tecommitted for recommenda- tions. Mayor Bemis suggested that anight watch- man be appointed to look after the city hall during the hours that the inmates might be away from the building. This was referred. That Cemetery Question Again, City Attorney Connell roported an ordin- ance declaring _ugainst \he further enlarge- ment of corueteries within the city limit He said that he thought that the city could not pass an ordinance affecting the bouudar- ies of Prospect Hill, as deeded by the late Byron Reed. i Prosident Baldwin of the Prospeot Hill (emetery association wrote that it was not the intention to enlarge the cemetery, but sumply to use the property which was or ally intended to go into the cemetery. sanitary question, ho said, was all nonsense, An ordinance to enlarge \as not necessarg, as the cemetery could not be enlurged with- out using the streets. Mr. Munro said that it was about time to settle the graveyard question. Ihe orai- nauce prohibiting burials should be passed and if it was not legal iv could be tested in the courts. Mr. Prince said that it was not his desire to injure uuy person, but he wanted to re- spect the living as well as toe dead. 5 A number ot affidavies from parties living near the cemetery were road, showing that 9,000 bodies rested in Prospect Hill, and that on account of such buriais the water in the wells in that locality was impure aud unfit for use. All of the papers were reforred to the com- mittee on boulerards, Councilman Pri fntroduced hs ordi- nance for the construction of a steol and iron viaduct along Fifteenth from Leavenworth to Pierce street, uflufilhm aud approving the plans prepared by the eity eugineer and au- thorizing theappointwent of three appraisers to assess any damages that may arise to abutting property by the construction of such viaduct. Ordinances wors introduced changing the grado of Douglas and iutersecting streets from Twenty-eignth stroet to the west line of Boggs & Hill's addition, amending the ordinance entitled “Street railways,” This ordinance provides that no street railway company sball run its cars at @ greator rate of speed than ten miles per hour in that por- tion of the city bounded by Twelfth street on tho east, Sixteenth stroet on tho wost, Leavenworth street on the south and Cum- ing street on the north, or ata rate of spoed groater than fifteen miles per hour outside of the territory defined. 1t also provides that when ona” train 'is following auother 80 following shall not ap- proach within fifty feet of the train that is ahead. The dirt haul- ing ordinunce wus also introduced, read twico and laid over under the rules. 'I't ordinance provides that any person desiriog to haul earth in oxcess of ten cubic yards shall obtain a permit from the Board of Pub. lic Works. When the earth is to be hauled over any paved street or alley, the party ap- plytog for the permit shall deposit a certitied check and an sgreement that ho will clean up and remove alt airt spillea.
