HELD BACK BY HER PULL Mrs. Richardson's Olaim Blooks the Payment of Bootts B.nff Oounty's Relief. SHE SAYS SHESECURED THE APPROPRIATION Auditor Moore Served with an Attorney’s Kdon to Hold the Money and Threat- #ned with Mandamus to Com- pel Him to Payit Over, pt. 7.—[Special to Tue Bee.]- ayre, treasurer of Scotts Bluft county, abplied to the supreme court today for a writ of mandamus to compel Auditor Moore to araw a warrant for the money appropriated for the relief of that county by the last legislature. It will be re- membered that for nearly three years Scotts Bluff county has had a claim against the state for exponses incurred In the trial of ore George Arnold for murder. An attempt was made to secure an appropria- tion from the legislature of 1801, but the economists of that session declined 10 come to the relief of tho taxpayers. At the last session another attempt was made Wwith better success and the claim, amount- ing to $7,4% was provided for in an ap- propriation. In his ]mllllun for a peremptory writ of mandamus ‘Treasurer Sayre alleges that on August 5, 1503, he made a demand upon Auditor Mours for & warrant upon the stato treasury for the full amountof the <laim allowed by the legislature, but that the auditor refused and still refuses to draw the warrant. He ulleges that the money is stillin the state treasury and tnat it is Justly dve the county of Scotts Blufl. Auditor Moore stated this afternoon that he does refuse to pay the money to the treasurer of Scotts Bluff county for one reason. A woman named Mrs. Kichardson <laims to have secured the passageof the bill through the last legislature. She has filed an attorney’s lieu with the auditor for #1,6%. On the other hand the com- missioners of Scotts Bluft county have filed & protest with the auditor against the pay- ment of Mrs. Richardson’s claim. He de- dires to pay the money to the treasurer, and the suit filed today istho result of an under- standing between himseif and tho attorneys for County Treasurer Sayre. To Decide Donne's Fee. Tho hearing in the case in which Judge Doang of Omaha seeks to secure a writ of mandamus requiring the managers of the late Impeachment trial against Attorney General Hastings, Secretary of State Allen and Commissioner Humphrey, to pay him $500 in addition to the amount already paid him was held before Judge Strode of the district court this afternoon, The issuc rests solcly, to put it bluntly, upon a_ question of veracity botween Judgo Doane on the one side and the manacer§ of impeachment on thoe other, Immediately after the adjournment of the iegislature, the attorney and the managers held a conference at the Lindell hotel in this city, and tho question of com- Ppensation was discussed. At first the at- Torneys were disposed to defer the question of compensation until the close of the trial, but the managers insisted that the legal gentlemen should name the maximum fee they desired to charge. Finally an agree- ment was resched and a verbal contract was entered into. This afternoon at the hoaring before Judge Strode, Captain P. H. Barry and C. Caspar, two of tl managers, took the stand and swore pos- itively that the verbal contract provided that the attorneys were 1o receive $2,500 cach, in caso all six of the impeached officials were brought to trial. They also testified that the payment was to be on a pro rata basis in the event that less than six officers were brought to trial. In his own behalf Judge Doano swore with equal positiveness vhat the contract provided that he was to receive $2.500 for his services, J. R« Colton, the third manager, was not present. ‘lhe hearing was not con- ducted entirely without friction _ be- tween the contending parti While Barry was on the stand Judge Doatie asked him why, 1f tho compensation was to be docidea upon a pro rata basis, the managers allowed him 000 for trying threo of the officials when he should huve Teceived but §1,250. Mr. Barry attempted.to ©explain, but Judge Doano pressed him for an explicit nnswer. “*Well, judge,” repliea the imperturbablo Barry, ‘‘the managers were not fully ac- quainted with the valuo of your services,” The examination will be continued tomor- Tow morning at which time Manager Colton is expected to be present. Transfer Switoh Law. The application of the B. & M. road to be relieved at sixty-three points from the operations of the Packwood switch transfer law onacted by the state leg- islawure wus cousidered by the State Board of Transportation yesterday. All tno members of the board were present. The Packwood - law requires railroads to con- struct trausfer switches at points where lines ave near each other, and iv is the pro- sumption that the petition of the B. & M. based on the part of the law which pro- ‘vides that the railroads interested may apply 0 the State Board of ‘Lransportation to be relieved in any case where its performance is unusually burdensome; and *if upon a personal examination of the locality whero tho transfer switches are to be pui in us and taking testimony of persons residing in the locality by the secretaries of such board, they find it unjust and upreasonabie o require the® building of sudh transfer switches, then such board may eelleve such roads of such duty, and thut evidence from any locality along the lines of roads inter- «ested shall be cousidered by said board and be compotent testimony in such case.” As the logislature failed tomake an appro- priation for traveling expenses of the boa the gencral opinion of the members was ex- ressed that it would be impossible for the ard to make the nccessary trips. 'T'he only other course to pursue was to compel the people of the sixty-throe towns to como to Lincoln and appear at the state house and there give evidence. No definite decision, however, was reached, She Swipsd Him Once.

MUST REDEEM THEIR PLATFORM PLEDGES Silvor Did Not Serye Them as a Sufolent Excuse—They Will Take Up the Barning Question at Once— ‘Washington Notes. 518 Fountrextn STRRET, Wasniseron, Sept. 7. A revolution in democratic opinion as to the time when congress should act upon the tarift has takon placo during the past ten days. Just before the house passed the silver ro- peal bill four-ifths of the democrats in both houses were in favor of taking a recess as 800n as tho senate cted upon that measure, and leaving tho house committee on ways and meuns to leisurely propare a tanft bill, which was to be reported after the holidays. The republicans in both houses of congress, through newspaper Intorviews, open speeches, ana their correspondence begnn to advocate the earliest action upon the tariff, contending that it was due to the mahufacturing interests and the commercial menof the country that the suspense should be removed at the earliest possible day. They held that even a froe trade democrasy owed it to those who had invested their cap- italand Jabor in. good faith to give them some opportunity to withdraw from the in- dustries. It had beon contended up to the itime the house passed the silver repeal bill that the stringency in the money markets and tho shutting down of factories weroe due to doubt as to our general financial policy, and that if the possibility of paying obligations in silver was removed confidence would be restored and monoy would come out into the open channels of trade. 71he boards of trade of the country and the telegraph wires enable financial men to anticipate and discount leg- islation. WasningroN Buneav or Tar Bes, } 1t Didn't Bring Rellef. As s00n a3 the house passed the silver re- peal bill and it was known that it would pass the senate, the better effects of the anticipated legislation were perceptible. Confidence was not restored, and it was clear that it would not be restored until action was taken upon the tariff. Pressure immediately bogan from the country to as- sort itself” upon democrats in congress. Within three or four days four-fifths of the demoerats who had favored an ndjournment as soon as the silver repeal bill was finally passed anpounced that the question of tho tariff should be proceeded with and disposed of before adjournment. Force of conditions had compelled a change of front. Here is an extract from a letter just ro- ceived from Hon. William Hoynes of South Bend, Ind., which is one of the greatest manufacturing centers in the country, and there is no one better situated to speak of the conditions which have brought the coun- try to its present crisis than its writer: ‘The money question alone it would ba com- paratively onsy to sotcle, at loust tomporarily, ut radical change in the tariff involvosd complote readjustment of prices, wages and Dusiness.

About 250 or 800 attended tho meeting for the unemployed at Mots hall on South Thir- teenth street last night. 'Councilman Ike Hascall called - the [ maeting to order, and delivered a specch about twenty minutes in length, in.which he called attention to tho sad condition of affairs now existing and endeavored to point out a remedy. Every- body, said Mr. Hascall, should be put to work by September 15 and kept at work all winter. Omaha, he said, is standing still and should have a boost in more ways than one. He declared that there is plenty of money here and that the unemployed should have it to help them in tho present cmergency. The mayor and city council, the county commiseioners and the board of Education shouid be called upon to furnish work. Mr. Hascall paid his respects par- ticularly to the Board of Education, claim- ing that with $100.000 of building funds in the treasury, nothing was being dono to furnish work for unemployed artisans, and saying that if the members of the Board do not soon see the errorof their ways they will be “dragged out by the heels.” The people, said Mr. Hascall, are ‘‘sleep- ing giants, and do not know their power.” Ho was in’ favor of Omaha taking care of herself in the present emergency. *Is there a momber of the board presenti’ asked Mr. Huscall. +There iso't, ehl No member of that mossbacked body presenr ! They knew of this meeting, but they don’t care for the common people, that's all.” The bonrd was duly hissed by the audi- enco and ir. Hascall concluded his remarks with a reiteration of the statement that the school board ought to be compelled to furn- ish such worlc as is in its power, Mr. Hascall, as a reward for his carefully prepared speech, was then made chairman of the meeting, Councilmen Howell and Munro houorary vice chairmen, and Councit- man Elsasser secretary. Dan Burr was the next spesker and sot forth that in his opinion one means of easing present conditions would be to begin work on the proposed canal, which suggestion met with the apuroval of the audience. He belives that the county commissioners wall doall they can to alleviate the suffering of the working classes. Councilman Munro spoke at some length and in a dramatic manner, sbusing the banks for not buying city bonds and declar- ing himself in favor of shortening working hours 8o as to give everybody employment. Eight hours was his standard, and he be- lieved botter results were obtained from the short working day. James Kinney thought thav a_canal was worth a dozen railroads snd msde a perma- nent boom, and that the project should by all means be encouraged. Councilman Elsasser endorsed the senti- ments of the previous speakers and gave way to John Quinn, who made some re- marks that stirred up the weeting, intimat- ing that Mr. Hascall and his colleagues had an impracticable scheme to spring on the meeting, thereby calling down upon himself a large volley of hisses. Councilman Howell mgde some very sensi- blo remarks on existiug conditions aud sug- gested that warrants b .issued agaiust the unsold bonds now ig Lhe city treasury for the purpose of carryigg on public improve- ments. £.
