City Attorney Connell ¢oes to Lincoln this morning for the purpose of appearing before the supremo court and filing with that tribunal anapplication for a peremptory writ of mandamus to compel the Board of Public Works to enter into contract ving of Tywenty-sixth street from I to Half Howard stroet. Mr. Connell is ing under instructions from the council, s is carrying out a poliey agread upon to bring before the supreme court all of the issues mvolved in tho present paving controversy. The petition prepared by the city attorney to bo presented to the court cites thoe fact that March 14 of the present yoar an ordin- ance was passed by the council and subse- quently approved by the mayor creating a street improvement distriet of Twenty-sixth sticet, and certain other street improvement districts in the city, and ordering their im- provement by paving and eurbing, and direct- ing the Board of Public Works to ad vertise for bids forsuch work. The property ownors were given thirty days in which to designate the al to bo used in tho paverent of the t. I pursuance of the provisions of tho ordinance the board advertised for bids and the samo wero reccived, and acceptod on stone and brick and those on asphalt re- jected, and a second and third advertisement on the latter material was mado. After the acceptance of the bids the prices submitted were publishod for the information of the Droperty owners in the improvement dis- tricts and they were given notice to select the materials desired to be used in the sev- cral districts. Petition in One District, 1ent to the publication of the no- tions from the prope owners on ixth street w received designat- ified brick class A, price $1.80, with five years guarauty, as the material to be used in that district. Attached to the poti- tion was a certificate from the city engincer showing that a majority of the fect frontage on the street was represented. In pur- suance of said proceedinis the council passed an ordinance June 22 ordering the Board of Public Works to enter into g t with the lowest paving of the strect with the designated in the petition. After the passage of said ordinance a duly certified copy was furnished to the board, and that thercupon it ne the duty of the board to enter into a contract with J. K.

The necessary resolution s adopted at o sp meeting Saturday night. [t was not until la esterda) - noon that the attorney’s name - nounced. The delay was causea by the three majors immediately hopping into the arena of discord and wrangle, At the time the secret session of the councu was held Major Birkhauser was the only member invited to be present. Major Baicombe and Major Furay were ignored and this fact did not please them to any great ox- tent. Those two worthies have been wink- ing signi and both are quoted as saymg that the, 1 the coun- cil would be knocked hiz 1 Gilroy's kite by the decision of the supreme court when the case was submitted. Evidently the council was prepared for the majors, who very frequently get astride Major Birk- hauser’s neck. s worded This Major Balcombe and Major Furi W, During the afternoon al meeting of the board was held. Major Birkhauser informed the other two majors that he had talked with Attorney Covell and that gen- tleman was w o take the ¢ f the board.

Major Birkhauser signed, however, Birkhauser Hell the Key. An adjournment followed and th gentlemen disappes by mag military red from the room us if They returned a couple of hours later and weut into session as soou as N Furay had made known a few thing private to Major Balcombe, A copy of the council resolution was read.

Furay Insisted on malking a sugwestion avleast, but Mujor Bal- combe “What is the use? The coun- cil has given us no say in the matter.” Major Birknauser said not a word, but he appeared immensely pleased. Ho had en- gaged Mr. Covell and ho siid so. Major Furay again expressed himself on Covell, and finally moved to adjourn. As Major Birkhauser chosen Mr. Covell he will appear in the case and present the caso from the standpoint uf the board, or rather from Major Birkhauser's standpoint, 18 the two other mwajors will have naught to do with what they term a plot. e G —— AKNESS SAVED HER. Force Aequitted of the Oharge of Murder., ATrANTA, June 27.—Miss Julia Force was put on trial yesterday for the murder of her two sisters last February. She had kept a dairy for a year or more and all through it ap- peared her intention to some time kill her iste Miss Force's mother s were in court. The arguments mpicted today. the dinner recess wudge Clarke MENTAL W. Julin After his remarks Torco sat immovablo before the jury with her face buried in her hands. In his charge Judge Clarke referred to the enormity of the crime, and said the ury should consider the prior life of th prisoner. He said the crime was probably without a parallel unless it be that of the Borden mur- der case, if the crime was committed by Lizzie Borden. The Farce murder was even more horrible than that. As the judge was charging the jury, the prisoner broke down, sobbing convulsively. The jury remained out only a few minutes and at 3 o'clock brought in a verdict of not guilty. Miss Force was tried shortly after the murder occurred on a writ of lunacy and was sromptly adjudged insane. Solicitor General FiiliHeid thar the procoeding was irregular as the case should have gone first before the criminal courts, whero the prisoner had the privilege of entering a plea of iusanity and establishing 1t to the satisfaction of the ury. This has been done and about Miss i“u 's insanity there scems to be little doubt. She will be sent at once to the state lunatic asylum at Milledgeville. e Chicugo Assigument, ; CHICAGO, June 27.—K.

BEARDED WOMEN. One Torria Scicfst Asserts that They Are Tecoming Common. In the sweet time o ming, by and by, | When men are baldheaded and toothless, and all the monkeys have learncd how to talk Garnerian, perhaps bearded women will be as common as they are now rare, says the New York Recorder. k .\I‘ any rate that's what a porfectly horrid German professor says. He as- serts that mustaches are much more © vn:m namong women now than in the past. In Constantinople, he says, among the unveiled womon that one meets in tho stre at least one in ten has an unmis- :gnkuhlo covering of down on the upper ip. In the capital of Spain, again, the proportion of ladies with this masculine characteristic is said to bo equal to that obs ble on the Golden Horn, . An American medical man states that in Philadelphia fully 3 por cent of the adult fair sox are similarly adorned, and probably the proportion would be still larger, but that many women tako the trouble to eradicate the unwelcome growth by the application of depilatory proparations. Is this increase in the number of wo- men with hair on their faces to be re- garded as a sign that the human race is improving? Very few men, at all events, will be disposed to consider that a mus- tache adds to the charms of the opposite sex. The idea! Englishmen, indeed. only a genoration ago, had such a detestation of mustaches and beards that the practice of shaving all hair off their face down to the mut- tonchop whiskers was all but universal. From one extreme our clean shaven fathers plunged into the other, and beards and mustaches rapidly bocwme the fashion. The fashion has of late years again been modified. Beavds ave less common, but the mustache is culti- vated in England as widely ason the continent, But_why should the fair sex be vis- ited with this infliction? Some writers on ethnology hold that the higher races of mankind are always the hairier, and Mr. Moot thinks that'in a few centuries ;nv‘u and women will all be clothed in alr.
