Falled to Convince the Auditor. Commissioner General Garneau and Audi- tor Moore held another long consultation this afternoon in a fruitless attempt to reach an understanding, Mr. rneal was em- phatic 1 nis assertion that unless some method could be devised by which he can se- cure funds in advance he will have to close the Nebraska building and discontinue the state exhibit. Ho proposed to glve the auditor a bond in a sufticient Amount to mdemnify against any possible 083 by reason of the misuse of funds, but this the auditor refused to consider. An at- tempt was also made to reach some agree- ment upon the vouchers for the commis- sioner general's expenses, but the auditor fatly refused to allow them and the matter was dropped. Upon his part the auditor agreed o go Lo Chicago at the earliest pos- sible date and malke a personal investigation of the situation. He will probably leave Eriday or Saturday of this week.

The petition in the case sets forth a con- tract, signed by high officials and aproved by the diroctors of both roads, in @hich in black and white, as long ago as April 27, 1880, certain thiugs were agreed to and which were intended to be for the benefit of All parties concerned. Some of these things, the plaintiff alleges, have not been done, hence the suit which now burdens the court records of this county. Reaching the merits of the case, the plain- Ml alloges that when the agreement was made, it agroed to lease to the Union Pacific company for the purpose of running trains, the le‘uln and Northwestern line betwoen Dawvid City and Columbus; vhe Denver, Utah & Pacitic lines between Longmont and Platteville, Colo., and some switchos and side track and switch privileges in Lincoln. In return for all of this the Union Pacitic ‘was to lease to the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney for trackage only, that portion of the Denver, Marshall & Boulder railroad be- tween Argo and Boulder Junction; between Platteville and Greeley; between Greeley and Fort Collins, and the right-of-way into South Omaha, The conditions of these agreements were that they should continue in force for the period of Y9 years, and the payments were to be made upon a basis of per cont interest on the investments, figuring the value of the road bed at the rate of 815,000 per mile, the money to be paid an- nually. The plaintiff alleges that it has carried cut every condition of its part of the contract, but that the Union Pacific has failed to tote fair in its share of the deal, by refusing to let the plaintiff into South Omaha, that it might handle the hogs and cattle that are raised on thke farms and ranges along the lines. This refusal was made, so the plain- tiff avers, as long ago as 18%), but no suit was commenced at that time for the simple reason that it hoped to ttle the matter without going to law. Shortly after the reement was entered inwo the plaintiff built a spur from its main line at La Platte to Gilmore, and thence to the new fort, where it was to connect with the Union Pa- cific main line botween Omaha and Denver, that allof the stock from the ranges of the west could be sent over the cut-off in- stead of coming into this city and then zoing down to South Omaha over the long route, ‘When the line was constructed the plaintiff notified the defendant, so it alloges, that it was ready to meet the terms of the agreo- ment,'but stead of meeting them the de- fendant simply told the plaintiff to whistle, for it would have nothing to do with that agreement, it beinga dead letter on the company books. Besides wanting the damages the plalu- tiff wants the courts 1o decree that the four miles of Union Pacific track between South Omaha and the new fort1s opento the freight trafiic of both companies. Commissioner Willinms Returns. County Commissioner Wiliiams returned this morniug from s tour through the in- terior of the county, whither he went for the purpose of looking after the roads and tho progress that is being made by the various contractors. The commissiouer re- ports that the trip has been most satisfac- tory, and that fully 100 miles of turnpike have been constructed this season, and all at a cost of not to exceed $1,800. Theso new roads have been built on town- shipand section lines, connecting the agri- cultural districts with the railroad towns. Heretofore it has been the policy to appor- tion the road fund among the road districts and allow the amounts to be oxpended under the direction of the road supervisors of the different districts, But when the new board came into power @ year ago all of the members decided that the plan was bad and that but little of the money was_expended where it benefited tho public, the suporvisors scoming to labor under the idoa that the roads in their own immediate viemity were the only ones that needed improving. Then a change was made by which these gentlemen wero shorn of their power, the commissionors taking it unto thomsalves and _deciding that in the matter of grading thoy would designate the roads and have all of the work performed by contract. Since that time more work has been performed and with much less cxpenso, Mr. Williams is of the opinion that before the close of the season another 100 miles will be added o road mileage of the county, and that then there will bo a very good sizod balunce in the road fund of the county. Sues for Half a Million. Last night the court records of this county became burdened with the papers in a suit in which Clifton Mayne of this city sued Georgoe E. Barker and others for a cool #500,000, alieging fravd. The suit is brought in two sections, the first being to recover the sum of $100,000, which the plaintiff alleges is due him. In vl petition he avers that years ago, and at the time when he wus rrying 100 men on the pay roll, he was do- ing a large amount of business, borrowing money and putting up collaterals as ses 3 for the loans. He alloges that he w a partner in the ‘Mayne, Orchard I and other additions to the city, but that an ac- eounting has never been had. In that portion of the petition which ap- plies to Barker, the plaintiff alleges that he borrowed large’ sums of money of (ieorge I, Barker, putting up notes and mortgagos to secure the payment of the loan, and that these documents, *vhich have a cash value of more than $400,000, have been wrongfully converted. George I. Barker, in speaking of tho suit, said that it looked to him like » blackmail, brought to squeezo out a large sum of monoy. He said that he had resided in Omaha for thirty-seven years, and that duriug that time he had never wronged a man out of a cent. Ho had dealt squarely with Mayne, and paid him every doliar that was his duo Mr. Barker also states that he has receipts from Mayne in full payment of all the claims ever held against him, and that, in fact, Mayne owes him several thousand dollars, Bitked by u Lawyer. County Agent Burr claims to have discoy- ered that one of the county charges, Mrs, Owen McDonald, residing at 611 South Twelfth street, has been imposed upon by an atwrney who bas been assisting her in the prosecution of a claim against the Umion Stock Yaurds company of South Omana, Three yi 2 employe in the stock yards, where he was sccidentally killed while in the discharge of his duties.

A committee of six ar seven miners pleaded with them to stop work, but it did no good. The commitiee returned and reported that the men persisted {n working, and a number of women et to the men and asked them to stop. This was refused, and the women begun throwing coal and other missiles at them. This was too much for the men, and they picked up their tcols and dinner pails and beat a hasty retreat.

The county commissioners held an ad- journed meoting yesterday afternoon, at which they concluded that Douglas county was a clean $10,000 ahead. In 1868 the county issued a lot of court house bonds at the rate of 10 pee cent, pay- able in ten years. When the time for mak- ing the payment rolled around, the county was not in shape to pay, so all of the bonds were refused for another ten years and the rate of interest fixed at 8 per cent. The year 1877 came along and the county was still” un- able to pay, but the refunding process was again resorted to, this time the interest be. duced to 6 per cont and the date of payment fixed for 1857, [n 1857 all of the bonds with the exception of one for $10,000 were called in and paid. Then it was discov- ered that this particular bond had never been presented to be refunded. Nothing was thought of the matter until a few weeks ago when the commissioner instructea Clerk Sackett to try and find the owner. Heat once wrote to all of the purchasers of Doug- las county bonds, but none of them bad any record of the missing 810,000 promise to pay. This information he imparted to the com- missioners vesterday and now the gentlemen will take advice rogarding the disposition which they will make of the money which is now in the treasury for the purpose of taking up the vaver. ) After passing the appropriation sheots the commissioners adopted'a resolution instruc ing the treasurer to forward to New York the sum of §13,513 to/pay the semi-annual interest on all of whe outstanding county bonds. e Oata Short_ in Austria, ViENNA, July 18.—Ttiedrouth has caused a Give Tlfiam a Trial .
