AFFAIRS ARE BECOMING COMPLICATED Charges That Ttise the Ire of the Conneil. men—City Hall and Other Matters Wil Be Investigated in & Thorough Manner, Out of respect to the momory of the mother of City Clerk John Groves, the regu- lar council weeting that should bave beon heid last might was adjourned until Savar- day might. Immediately upon the meeting being called to order Mr. Lowry, chairman of the fuvesti- gating committeo, reported progross by say- ing that nis committes was getting into deop water and that it woald be some time before @ report could be submitted. ‘There was lots of work in sight and it would be 1mpossible 10 tell where or when the landing would bo was granted, The commilteo thority to send for persons and papers, the next meeting was sot for this ovening, to be held in the council chamber. Has n Hard Task on Hiand, Then Mr. Lowry finformed the council that the Ketoham Kurnituro compauy in- vestigation was not in it when compared with what the committeo bad on its hands. He sald that somo of tho charges which a councilthan had withbeld from the main body for more than & yoar were ths most damnable needed a thorough investiga- tion. He was convincod t all of tho dirty work had come from one member of the council. 1f the charges wero truo the committeo proposed to flud the guilly parties, but 1f they were not the commitiee proposed to nail tho informant to the cross. Mr. Princo said that tho mayor had thrown out insinuations against certain tioi- bers and that he proposed to probe them to the bottom. The charges weroe damnablo in their pature, but if they were true ho did not propuse to spure any one; but 1t thoy were not hie proposed to nail_the lie so se- curely that no member would again go about tho streets calling his associates thioves and boodlers. Mr. McLearie said he was heartily in favor of those sentiments, It might uot be possi ole to fix the authorship of the rumors upon any particular person, but he thought it was the duty of the commiltee to bring to justice the party who had 1o regard for the reputu- ons of men. Mr. Chaffeo stated that in the investiga- tion bis nawe bad been mentioned as one of the parties who had received boodle, *'Inow ask,” he said, “that tho council back up this commiites to the end; if 1 am guilly I will take the cousequences, but if I am inno- cent | want my assailant punished w0 the full extost of the law. I want this luvesti- gatlon continued if it takes months. One thing that I want to say is that ail of this told “avout boodle starts from members of the council aud if this body now finds talk the churges oro uutrue, I hops that 1t will take steps to expose tho member who has been the mayor's informant.” Wants the Investigation to Be Thorough. As a member of the committee Mr. Prince said that ho proposed to sift thu matter from the apex to the foundation of the city hall; that it was talked by certain membors and by citizens, that as soon as & man was elected to tho council he was a target for all of the mud slingors. He hoped that the ro- sult of the preseat investigation would bring this matter to an end. Mr. Munro stated that he favored giving the committee unlimited power, regardless of expense. % Mr. Edwards was of che opinion that the committee should have power to not only investigate the city hall matter, but ail charges Lrought by councilmen, By resolu- tion this power was given tho committee, The ordinanco ordering the curbg of Twenty-sccond street from Leavenworth street to the south line of the government warehouse was read a third tune and passed. Messrs. Edwards, Bechel and Lowry were appolnted & committes to ascortain how many of the members would attend the ded- 1cation of the World’s far buildings and to BITROEE f0r transportation. —— WAS A PROFESSIONAL. Patrick Grifin's Planted Plunder Found by Aceident, From information which came to light yesteraay afternoon it has been proven boyond a doubt that Patrick Grifin, who was killod on the night of Seotember 15 by Isaao Moutgomery, was a professional thief. For several days aftor the killing the police detectives were busily engaged in ruonning down the various clews, but the dead hief's history could not be traced very far back, and 1t was by the merest accident yesterday that the facts came to be known. Over a month ago ¥. A. Lewis rented a barn in the rear of 1808 Davenport street to Griffin, and as the rent was paid in advance no avtention was puid to the tenant. About noon yesterday Mr. Lewis heard a horse kicking In tho “stable and investigatod. A glanco showed that the animal bad not been feed or watered for many days, aud a bull dog which was chained in the stall appeared to bo nearly starved to death, Without sus- pecting that anything was wrong beyond the negligence of hia_tenant, Mr. Lewis notified the police and & couple of oficers fnvestigated. When it was found that Patrick GriMin bad rentea the barn the coroner was sent for and a thorough search made. Besides the half starved animals a satchel, trunk, several sets of harness and a lot of misceilancous plunder was found, all oviaently stolen property. The satchel con- tained photogranhs of Grifin’s nephow and niece in Tennesseo and a photograph of his sister, who lives at Rochester, N. Y. Sev- eral bunches of keys, a good gold watch, re- volver, cartridges, prayer book and a chain of beads and cross were also among the dead man's effects, Coroner Muul took chargo of the whole outfin. He had the horse aua dog cared for ata stable, Yesterday the coroner received a lotter from C. M. Hagan of the Oid Soldier's home at Leavenworth, asking about Griffin, Mr, Hagan wrote that Griftin had been a member of company C, One Hundroth New York in- fantry, was 52 years old aud bad been an inwate of thy home for a number of yoars. Griffin hud a habit of asking for furloughs frequently and ieft the home August 15, Sinve then nothing had been heard of him, Tho coroner will sond particulars today. e —— NEBRASKA MATERIAL, Omphin Architects Specifylng Lts Use in Omaha Bulldings, The executive committee of the Manufac- turers' and Consumers’ association met yes- terduy aftoruoon in their rooms in Tne Bee bullding.

ACCUSED f OF ROBBING HIS PARTNER Mo Clalmed That Burglars Mad Opened the Safe, But When Threatened with Arrest T Blew Out His Brains n s Office. Wasnixaroy, D, C., Sept. ~William P Canaday of North Carolina, ex-sergeant-at arms of the senate, suicided hers this morn- ing by shooting himself through the head. He bad been in financial dificulties for some time, Canaday occupied rooms at 712 and 714 Kent street ns lodgings and office quartors, whore, in partnership with Colonel g). Q. A. Houghton, he oconducted the business of loaning money on securities such as banks refused to handle, and was launching a comvany to guaraotee pateats. Thoe first sceno in the tragedy occurred about dayiighe this morn- ing, when a gentleman rooming above was attracted to Canaday’s door by the latter's cries. He found Canaday bound and gagged. Canaday claimed this was tho work of burg- lars, who had forcod him to opsn the sufo and take out the contents, When Colonel Houghton arrived he told Canaday he did not bolieve the story and thought it was a ruse to cover the thoft by Canaday of £,000 which Houghton put in tho safe the previous evening. Houghton went out to pou a policeman. When ho roturaed he found Canaday Iving dead, batnod in blood, with a bullet hole through his head. Hiy Last Prayer. He loft a letter for a Miss Moore, dectar- ing ho was guilty of no wrong and asking Giod to bless hor as his lasy prayer. The twine with which Canaday was found bound earlier in the morning was of cominon stuff which a man of ordinary strength could have broken. An examination of the con- tonts of the safe showed that all the notes givon by Canaday and all the books rontaiu- ing a record of his indebtedness had been ab- stracted and burned in the grate. The police are investigating the statement of Captain Houghton that he put $2,000 in the safe yesterduy evening. How Canaday could have made way with it is, under the circumstances, & difficultquestion to answer, Mr. Stevenson, who discovered him bound to the door, savs that Colonel Canaday told him that no money was gone and that only papers had been taken. If, as Captain Hougbtou said, $2,000 had been placed in the safe and 1s now missing, it seems remarka- ble that the dead man said nothing about it. Had Advanced Cannday Money, Captain Houghton asserts that he ad- anced Colonel Canaday from timo to time about 815,000, and that there was dostroyed about $100,000 stock of the Houghton Ma- chive Manufacturing company, and also certifical of stock in the Northwest Im- provement company and_ other enterprises. Captain Houghton is Jdescribed 1n the city directory as a machinist. Miss Moore, whom Mr. Canady visited yesierday evening, and to whom he left a note, is a young lady of excellent, fumily and good reputation whom Golonel Canady knew in North Carolina, Sho is a daughter of Judge Moore, for many years on the bench of one of the higher state courts in North Caro- lina, and is living here with her sister, whose husband is assistant curator of the National museum. Colonel Canaday’s call was a brief social one.

Sunday Closing Movement, A meeting was held at the First Methodist church last evening and after an organiza- tion was completed ‘‘Sunaay closing” was found to be inscribed upon the banners. Sec- rotary Robert Funston was chosoa to pre- side over the meeting and then the talk began. About fifty peonle were present and they all aro desirous of having the saloons in this city closed on Sundays, and the meeting was for the purpose of agreeing upon a united plan of action to briug avout that re- sult. Socretary Funston said it was a disgrace to the city to have the saloons run openly on Sunday and was in favor of taking immedi- ate action to compel the saloon men to _close their doors on that day. Councilmen Bruco spoke at length and told of his oxporicnce in making the rounds of the pambling hou:es on a tour of investigation a fow nights ago. Ho was in favor of elosing every saloon in tho city on Sunday and was prepared to load the fight as hoe did in the gambling crusade. Others in the auaience gave vent to their feelings and did not consider 1t sufficient to simply have the front doors closed and tho back and side ones swingiug to and fro on the Sabbath. Tt was finally decided to wait on Mayor Miller ana urge him to csuse a genoral observance of the Sunday closing law and to no longer tolerato its violation. Building Permits.
