THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY Bl I'EMBER MR. WILSON ON THE TRAIL Alleges Flagrant Violations of the OCity's Bidewalk Ordinance. HE'S AFTER THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS an Opinion from the in Ingenlously Gets City Attorney on n Case Point and Goes to the Mayor. Tho modical authorities all agreo that when o human head is sevored from the body denth atonce ensucs, the body and limbs be- como rieid, the nerve power is lost and spoech bscomes an impossibility. Omaba, however, has a case that sets aliof those authorities at sea and proves thut even medics may ba mistaken. Not many days ago John M. Wilson, who was fnspector on permanent sidewnlks, was decnpitated. Since that dato ho has been somowhat shady. Saturday ho was located in an office in the city hall, where he was busily engagod over several columns of figures. By these fizures he expects s0on 1o show to the public that there is considerablo rottenncss about the Board of Public Works ofiice, and o promises, if ho las the co-operation of tho city officials, to smoko a very largo African out of the ciy woodplle. “O[ course you can’t expect much from A man whose head rests in un oficial basket of the Board of Public Works," said Mr. Wil- €on, “but without pay or the hope of future rownrd [ shall continue to huut for oMicial frauds.” Mr. Wilson then proceeded to explain what ho had exhumed contorning the manner of laying psrmanent sidowalks, and with the showing which he has on hand he expocts to furnish the public with an eye opener. Caught One Contractor, Upon the subject of stone walks it is a wellknown fact that the following specifi- cations were ndopted by tho Board of Public Works and approved by the council: *‘Allstono shall be at least three inches in tbickness and laid upon six-inch fonndation of bunk sund. ‘The stones for walks four or six feet wide shall exteud the entirs width of the walk and be not less than threo feet 1 width. Jn no other walk shall the area of any stone be less thau twenty square feel. T'he surface of all stones shall be smooth and evenly dressed to the satisfaction of the Board of Public Works and city engineer.” Some days 8go, whilo making his rounds as official sidewalk 1nspector, Mr. Wilson discovered that Furnas & Sons, the stone contractors, were laying @ permanent walk = around the Unity church lots at Seventeenth and Cuss streets, In the performance of his duty, he examined the stono, ana found that it was but two inches in thickvess. He at once ordered all work stopped, as the stone did not comply with the specifications, A short time thereafter he discovered that work had again been commenced, and_that stone not meeting the requirements of the ordinance was being laid, Again ha ordered the work discontinued, but the contractor gave bim the laugh, saying tuat he had authority from the city officials to ao the work. Almost immediately Mr. Wilson’s oMcial head was ehopped off and rolled to one side. It was then thut he concluded that he would make a ten-strike and find out if the city laws could be violated at will. Mr. Wilson had the agency of some lots adjoining the Unity church property, along which a walk had cen ordered, Thinking that it was a good time to lay the walk, he wrote the mayor this lotter: Correspondence on the Subject. “\Will you pleaso give me written authority from the city attorney to lay two-inch nat- ural stoue sidewalk ut the coraer of Twenty- fifth and Leavenworth streets and in front of lots 1, 2 and 3, block 4 1 am aware that it is contrary to th i which provides that no natu than three inches in ‘hickness shall be laid in sidewalks, aud thav on August d again on August 30, I, as permanent sid walk inspector, ezave Messrs. Sons orders not to luy any stone of less than “tbree inches 1u thickness at lot 4, block 4 city, at the corner of Seventeenth ana Cass strects, und notwithstanding orders, somo means word was conveyed to srs, Furnas & Sons by Dey En- ¢ Grover 1o go ahead” and nch stone. Under such orders, delivered bebind my back, said walk hus been combleted. Now, your honor, 1 simply ask fair play and desire written permission from your attor ney, 50 that no inspector can’ como with conirary ovders to stop my laying a two-inch ratural” stone sidewalk tioned lots. Some of the lots along which 1 desire to lay tho walk adjoin the lots wheve the two-inch stone has just been laid.” The letter was referred to City Attorney Conuell, who quoted the law to Mr. Wilson in this style: “In response to your communication of the 1st wnst., referred to we by the mayor, re- questing the written opivion of the city at- torney authovizing you to lay a_sidewalk of naty stone two inches thick in front of lots 1, 2 and 8, block I would suy that 1 huve no right to graut you the authority to loy such & walk. “The specitications on filo in the ofice of tho Bourd of Public Works will specify tho thickness of the different kinds of sicewalks, When a sidewalk is ordared oy resolution the same can be laid by ‘the owner of the property only in accordance with the specifi- rations of the Board of Public Works, If such specifications require that natural stono walks should be three inches in thickness it 15 @ plain violation of the ordinances of the city to lay walks with natural stone only two fnches i thickness. Auny walk not laid in accordance with the specifications on file in the oftico of the- Board of Public Works can be regarded as u nuisance, aud as such re- moved by the Board of Public Works, This was demonstrared several years ago by Mr. James Creighton, who was chair- mwan of the Board of Puble Works, causing the removal of a side- walk not in accordunce with the specitica- tions of the bosrd, which was laid at tho northeast corner of Faroam aud Twelfth srcets, “1f you wish to avold further trouble with the Bourd of Public Works, ana desire to lay sidewalks in the city of Omaba, I wonld ad- vise you to lay them iu recordance with the .1 presume Mr. Birkhauser to giveyou acopyof the specifications.” Some Ouo Mado a Moss of 1t, Tt was vight here that Mr. Wilson got in his work. He had proven that some ofticial, either willfully or through ignorance, had given the contructors authority to violate the city luws, aud with this knowledge, to got renay for a fight and muke u test case, he morning sent the following comwunica- 10 the mayor : ‘Herewith find tho reply of the city attor- ney to my request for perimission to lay two- Inch natural stone sidewalks, As ho denios mo the right 10 Iny the sidewalk of two-iuch aatural stone, I therefore ask vou that the two-lnek natural stone walk laid at the cor- aer of Seventeenth aud Cass strosts bo re- garded a nuisance, and 4s such be removed by-the Boord of Putlic Works,” Tho mavor has nou yet taken any steps in 1be prowises, but ue will, and he promises ibat the guilty party will be brought onto ibe carpel to wake some explanations, e o i Thos.

Omatia Germans Celebrate the Great Vie- tory Won by Von Moltke Over Napoleon. Yesterday was a red-letter day in the cal- endar of the Germun people. It was the twenty-second anniversary of the day that Napoleon 111, surrendered to the mies under Count Von Moltke, at Seaan, and to the patriotic German spirit tha story of that day is one of the proudest chapters in their national history. The Omaha Landweherverein celebrated the occasion 1n a royal mauner at Ruser's purk yosterday afternoon, and the (German people of the city turned out in full force to witness the ceremonies. Ruser’'s park Is mccessible by tho carryalls that joit ana flounder through a soggy morass callea Center street, but noiwithstanding the mud und the jolting the park was well filled with people by the middle of the after- noon. Most of the picnickers brought well filled baskets with them and ate their even- ing meal under the trees, so that they might not miss any of the testivivies, There were men there who well romembered the day when the French emperor owned tho Ger- mans conquerers ana dozens of flaxen haired, pink checked babies who bad never ueard of Sodan, but were happy in the ambient au- tumn air and sunshine. Bowls, Dancing and Drilling. It was late inthe afternoon when the oxerciaes of the day were begun, but in the meantime the picnickers were not lacking of of amusements. An orchestra wasin at- tendance and the large dancing platform was continually occupied and the bowling alleys and shooting galleries were equally well patronizea. It is one of the peculiuritics of Ruser’s park that the visitor encounters a var at every turn. There aro half a dozen of them scattored about the grove and the na- tional beverage of the German nation was present in_suflicient quantities to slake the thirst of all. Tho first event was the infantry drill with- out arms, 1n which a company of twenly- four participated, under ‘thé command of Captain Charles T. Boufiler, Then came the shooting contest, three shots each, over a 200-yard vange. Albert Altendorff won first houors and an elezant silver cigar stand, with a score of fourteen out of a possible twenty-four. Fred Mittnacht and Adam Weinert were tie for s nd place, with twelve each, and won a silver-plated beer mug und a wine set respectivel Tuen came the grand prize drill, in which the whole company participated, and which was followed by fencing contests with bay- onets and small swords, in which prizes were won by Fred Mittnacht and Adam Weinert. They. Reproduced Sedan, As soon as it began to grow dusk the arums beat the general atlarm and the forces foll in line for the grand event of the day, & sham battlo in imitation of tho battio of Sedan. A mimic fort had been erected to represent the fortness and city where Na- polenn gathered his farces for u final stand against the advancing hbosts of tbe Ger- mans, The rolo of the French emperor was undertaken by Mr. Chavies Kuauf- mann while Herman Busch person- ated the gallant Von Moltke, Behind the fortress an imaginary lne, represented the river Meuse, and Napolcon formed his liues in a semi-circle around the city, with cither flank resting on the river, which cut off all retreat, The bugle sounded the charge unda the German forces moved steadily down on the beleagured army. At tho command both armies opened five, and their blank cartridges apparently did as much execution ns could be expected from more effective weapons. Mea were falling here and there and women wearing the red cross on their sleeves braved tno sulphurous discharges to minister to the woundea. The German advance could not be checked. In a moment it had penetrated between the French army and tho niver and,. surrounded on all sidés, Napoleon surren’ acred. The battle a strikingly had been in depicted realistic manner, ond when Napoleon waved tie = white flag of “surrender a simultaneous cheer welt up from a thousand throats, Then @ voice began to siug ‘,Die wacht am Phein,” and it was caught up vy the crowd and sung enthusiast! 1y totte end. Then Napoleon formally presented his sword to Couut Von Moltke and Sedan with 85,000 men, irty-nine generals, 230 ofticers of the staff ,100 subalterns had passed into the hands of the victorious Germans, The shat- tered forces assembled for final aress parade and prize giving while the victory was celebrated in a blaze of red fire, Gave Out Some Prizes. ‘The prizes were awarded by the ladies' comiuittoe, ana besides the winners of the prize coutests the commanding officers wero the recipients ot handsome souvenirs of the occasion.
