Bishop Bonacum's Troubles. Excitoment is still at fever heat among the local Catholics over the deposal of Father Loughran as rector of St. Theresa's pro- iral, and a meeting will bo held ow to discuss the matter, the following notice signed by John Fitzgerald, John P. sutton, T. G. Kelly, Charles J. McGlavo and James J. Condon having been sent to the various newspaper oftl ‘ TEMBERS OF & to- . Tueresy's Cox- an i Au imports meeting will Thirteenth and P strects, at 3 o'clock afternoon, to take suitable action > to the removal of Rev. Francis L. Loughran from the rectorship of the pro- cathedral. It is urgently requested that ember of the congregation, yboth ud female, be present. 1t also de he priests who had signed the man Satolli, is having more trouble with the bishop. He had been origin: from a mission, unjustly as ho claime: one of the clauses of the agreement whi Satolli compelled Bonacum to sign at Omaha Wednesday was a promisé®on the part of the bishop to restore him to as good a mission as the one from which he had been removed. Yesterday Kather Quinn called upon the bishop to find out to what mission ho proposed sending him, but no sooncr had thé bishop sht' sight of him in his room than, ac- cording to the father's story, he flew into a rage and ordered him out of the house, threatening to kick him out if he did not im- mediately depart, and demanding to know how he dared come into his house. The father replied that it was not noces- sary for him to use force, that he would re- tire. Ho did so, and’ immediately tole- graphed the interview to Satolli at St. Paul, as he had been instructed todo, the delogate evidently anticipating the bishop's action. Later, recognizing that he made a mistake, the bishop sent Father McShane to Father Quinn with word that he could say mass at St. Blizabeth hospital in this city tomorrow. Father Loughran refuses to talk, saying that the only error made in the reported i terview was in stating that the bi given him his exeat without his asking for it. It was at his own request that it was given him. He has sent the facts in the matter to Archibishop Satolli, and somo interesting communication from him is being hourly au- ticipated. one of 1o o Moore's Authority, Section 3 of the law under which Mr, Gar- neau acts provides: “The appropriation provided for in this act can only be drawn from the state treasury on estimates made by the commissioner general, aud 1o one o timate shall excoed tho sum of §.000 e cept in the case of emergency, and then only on approval by the governor, showing the items of expenditure paid by him, giving the date paid, to vvhom and for what purpose each item has been paid. Each estimato shall be accompanied by a detailed state- ment of the expenditures with proper vouchers.” Under the provisions of this section Aud- itor Moore feels that he is made the judge as to whother or not the youchers are proper ones, as upon him devolves the respon- sibility 1f money is paid out upon improper vouchers, and he quotes as his authority ' for the impression he entertains in this respect an opinion of the supreme vourt, filed March 50, 1593, in the case of the state ex rel J. 5. Dales, stew- ara of the State university, against kugene Moore. This case is one’ involving exactly the same questious as the Garneau case. In it was set up an agreed state of facts. Dales set up that ho was steward of the univer- sity and secretary of the Board or Regents and that as such he is duly authorized and empowered to draw upon the auditor of pub- lic accounts, by proper certificates and vouchers, in aue forw, for amounts nwruy‘rl- ated for the use of the University of Ne- braska : that the legislature of 1891, by a bill approved Agril 6, 1801, appropriated $37,000 for the use and benefit of the -university in the erection (ln part) of & fire proof library building; = that under this authority’ the university authorities entered into a contract with Abraham Ros- enberry of Omaha in the sum of #80,048, for the erection of the building. to be completed by December, 1803; that said Rosenberry had begun work under the contract and had completed work and furnished materlals and rendered services to the amount of about $20,000; that work was suspended about the middle of December because of cold weather and had not been resumed for that reason; that the contractor would resume work as soon as the weather would permit; that there remained unexpended of the appro- priation $12,00%; that the relator, on the 20th of March, 15893, drew a certificate and voucher for the unexpended balance, no ob- jection being made by the auditor to the form of the same nor the amount specified. The object of this action on the part of the university authorities was to get the money out of the treasury under the mistaken idea that the appropriation would lapse before the contract could be completed. Auditor Moore returned the vouchers, de- clining to pay the same at that time for the reason that iv nowhere appeared that the work had been done, materials furnished or services rendered upon which the amount could apply. He declined to pay the money in advance. Dales asked for an order upon the auditor requiring him to pay the money over, but the supreme court said in its opinion: Soction 2 of the act provides that: auditor of public accounts Is heroby author- 1zed und required upon the presentation of the proper vouchers o draw his warrant on the stuted fundy, and against tho approprintion 13 made in section 1 of this act, in favor of the party performing the service, for the amount duo, and such warrant shall give the, name of the person und nature of the service.” The court further defines the term *‘voucher,” when used in connection with the disbursement of money, to mean a written ted instrument in the nature of a bitl ulurs, aceount, ete., which shows on vhat account and by what authority a par- ticular payment has been made, It will be observed [sald the court] that the auditor 15 authorized 1o draw his warrant only ases where the proper vouchers aro to him. The warrants are to be ime as may be required, £ 0f youchers being the eyidence upon which the wuditor 15 to act, There is no authority for the secretary of the Hoard of Rogents Lo draw any portion of the appropria- tion exceptus his inay prosent vouchers for work or miterial expended in the prosecution of the contract, The court also cites the following from the Twenty-second Nebraska, page 53, in the case of State ex rel Jawes against Bab- cock: The constitutio all claims upon th “The of the state requires that S0 trousury must by ex- umined and adjusted by the auditor, and his action approved by the secrotary of state, he- foro uny warrant can be drawn therefor. This provision upplies to all claims, whother claimod by virtue of & specific appropriation OF not. In his recent opinion in the impeachment Judge Norval intimates that he seriously questions tho right to pay out an appropria- tion in lump sums, Lancaster's Saline Lands, Under the act of the recent session affect- ing saline lands, 11,124 acres will be subject to sale to the leéssees after August 1, 1893, subject to the school land laws, to be sold to the lessee if he desires to buy, but there will be no public sale. All of this land is locatea in Lancaster county, about 1,000 acres of it being in the salt basin west of this eity and lying around tne salt lake property, which i located thereon. The projectors of the lake now hold the leases for this purchased them from former holders thereof. The land will be reaporaised and the holders of leases will surrender thom and receive purchase deeds upon the paymeut of the appraised value. ’l‘here have heretofore been two acts authorizing the absolute sale of saline lands iu this county. One was enacted Kebruary 15, 1869, and under it 10,865 acres werg sold in 1869 and 1870, bringing from § to 7 per acre. Under an act of 11835 there were 680 acres sold at from $10 to$14 peracre.

Mrs. Benson, wife of Attorney Benson of Omaha, died last night in her husband’s arms while being taken in a hack from the Burlington depot to the insane asylum. She had been confined 1n the asylum on several different occasions and was again attacked a fow days ago. She had been ailing for some time. The body was removed to Guile's un- dertaking rooms, where it still lies un- touched, the deceased having froquently re- quested that she be not disturbed for at least one day after her supposed death, so fearful was she of being buried alive. A woman, evidently demented, who gave her name as Robinson and her rents as residents of Omaha, was found lying on the sidewalk at Tenth and P at an late hour last night. She had been an inmate of a Denver asylum for three years and was on her way home, ‘[he bids on the state printing contract have not yet been tab- ulated complete and no awards will be made before Monday.
