The arrest of Oscar Henderson, a con- ductor on the motor line, for thumping J W. Owens, apassenger, scems likely to re- sult In bringing up the question of the vahd- ity of an ordinance passed by the city coun- cil some weeks ago, providing that the motor company must issue transfers to all parts of its line good for thirty minutes without extra charge. The transfers is- sued by _the company so far have always been good for only fifteen minuces, and after the ordinance was passed there was uo chapge perceptible in the way the company looked at tho matter. Yesterday J. W. Owens got on board a car and presented his transfer check to Conduc- tor Henderson, who happened to be running the train. The fifteen minutes provided for on the check was just two minutes gone by, and the conductor informed him that 1t would not carry him, “Well,” said Owens, *'1 guess I'll ride any- way, then,” and he suitod the action to the word, seating himself calmly in the car. Henderson tried to make him pay an extra mickel, but Owens refused to do so. Hen- derson, who is not much more than half as Jarge us Owens, proceeded to pick his unruly vassenger up and dump him off on the hard Em ment, so that he might go the restof is way on foot. Assoon as Owens struck the ground he waltzed off in the direction of the city building, where he swore out a war- rant for Henderson's arrest on the charge of assault. The case will be investigated in police court this morning. If the company ‘was bound to issue transfers good for thirty minutes instead of fifteen then Henderson was not justified in throwing Owens off the train when he had. paid one fare. This question seems likely to be fully investi- gated before the case is flnished. For Sale—The best fruit and garden {’uu want. “Green- 1ds, Nicholson & Co. W. E.

A special session of the district court was held by Judge Macy yesterday to hear the remainder ot the arguments of the attorneys in the case of A. T.

Elwell was ma.le trustee ut the time of the failure of the investment company, Kimball and Champ turning over to m the company's property by means of a trust deed, the prop- erty to be hela by him for the benefit of the titors. Elwell, in the suit now pending, is soeking to forecloso his trust deed, and the Omaha National bank is intervening, alleging that the trust doed is void by rea- son of fraud on the part of Kimball and Champ, “The recollection of the audience was re reshed on the subject of A number of trans- stions in connection with the failure of the investment company, and the shady plac 1 these transactions were dwelt upon w some gusto by the attorneys for the bank. meeting of the directory of the invesument company was held on the evening before the ignment was made.

MORE PARK LITIGATION. Case of Ella Keffo Agn the City Will Be Pashed Aftor Al For some months past the cigy authorities have been leaning back in their chairs, tak- ing their ease at the thought that the iong and troublesome Fairmount park litigation was atan end and that they would never again find themselves confronted with the alternative of paying out a few thousand in #ood hurd dollars_or losiug their title to Fairmount park. Vesterday's developments indicate that these feelings of security came a trifle too soon and that the city will still have a chance to suppress a good many whistles before getting out of the woods. There were threesuits commenced against th o different plaintiff, but hthe allegations practically the me. he claim on which the litigation was based was that the process of condemmnation was ly according to law. When the city ecided to condemn what was then a lot of almost worthless land and make it one of the finest parks in the west, a sheriff’s jury was empaneled, a prico wus fixed on’ the land and pape ‘e made out_transferring the title to the city, which thus got the land at a comparatively low figure. Some of the people who o1 <.d the land brought suit to have the condemnation pro- ceedings set aside, on the ground that a jury of twelve men should have been summoned to fix the price, instead " of a sheriff's jury, as had been done. The cases were all fought through the district court and the procoed- ings were declaved perfectly legal. They were all taken up to the supreme court, and about a ; ear ago, after a long wait, the de- cision of the lower court was affirmed in one of them and the plaintiff was knocked out. This was looked upon as a squelcher to all theresy of the park litigation, and when, about a year ago, the sum of $10,000 was paid out to the attorneys who had looked after the city’s interests, it was thought that the oity might take a long breath. Yesterday a paper was filed in the district court in the case of Ella Keefe against th city which shows that Attorney Sims, who has claimed all along that the supreme court made a mistake in its rulings, will push the case and the city will be put to a lot more expense in defending its claim to the park. James A. Ryan and Charles H. Knisely claim in this paper that they pur- chased twenty-three lots out of the middle of the park from Eila Keefe subsequent to the commencement of ihe action and they want their right to the possession of the property to be declared by the court. “Their blood is on your head” if you permit your children to die of diph- theria, knowing how surely Dr. Jefferis’ remedy will cure diphtheria.

CONNELL'S EMPAATIC DENIAL Oertain Statement of an Iftésponsible Oppo- sition Branded as a Campaign Oanard, WESTON CASE AND OTHER ACCUSATIONS Haseall Is Prolific In Promises—Trath Dis. regarded by the Politient Enemies of Mayor Bemls—Protest from Organ- ized Labor—Campaijgn Glatter, Concerning the extended editorial refer- nee to him in the World-Herald of y estesday ty Attorney Connell said he had no desire to find fault with the World-Herald or to criticise its cditor, as he presumed the exizencies of the present campelgn made necessary some such publication. He further id that whoever furnished the information to the World-H d did so without ifvesti- gating the facts and in utter disregard of the truth, With repard to the Weston suit,” said Mr. Connell, “the records of the court will show just what has been done, and while T have not spoken w0 Judge Scott, I am certain he will verify my statement that no suit in his court since he has been on the bench has been more earnestly contestea than the Weston suit. It is absolutely untrue that at my request the jury was instructed to bring in a verdict agawst the city, The suit us originally commenced was against the city, Mr. W, Clarke and myself. Poppleton filed a de- murrer behalf of the city, and I filed demurrers on Lehalf of Mr. Clarke and myself, The latter demurrers were sus- tained, and the suit was dismissod as to Mr. Ciarke and myself, but the court overruled the demurrer which had been filed on behalf of the Subsequently the case came on for tr as actively and ably defended by Mr. Cornish, the assistant city nttorney, and from the first to the last [ aided him in making the strongest fight possible for the city. I am ceriain that the judgment en- tered by Judge Scott will be finally reversed in the supreme court when the. case reached. The brief for the su- preme court is dy partially pro- pared, and 1 am confident” will conclusively establisn that there is no liability against the city for the reason that the boy who was drowned was not using the street for travel at the time he fell into the water, which re- sulted in his doath, but was using the street ana adjacent property for floating a section of sidewalk as a rafe. With regard to this fact there can be no controversy, and the only question is one of law. [ am confident will finally be devermined in favor of the city. “With regard to the amount of my salary, 1 would say that 1t is the same as my prede- cessor, Hon. A. J. Poppleton, received, ex- cept that since the completion of the city hall T have had the use of the rooms as- sigued to the legal department of the city. *With regard to the claim that any sum was paid to me or my partner to declare the title to the Parker tract of land good, this is ulso false. The Parker heirs, and_Judge Lake, who is the attorney for the Parker heirs, can substantiate this statement, ““The asphalt case, whicl' is referred to, is a case commenced to have the asphalt re- pairing contract declared void. This case has been passed \without any fault on my part. 1t was reached again at the present term of court, and I insisted upon its being tried, but as General Cowiii, who is the at- torney for the asphalt company. was en- gaged 1n the trial of another case it was specially passed to be placed on the docket and tried before the close of the'term. This will be done. No one who has any knowl- edge regarding my attitude toward the as- phalt and other paving ~ompanies can truth fully claim that I have in'atiy manner favored auy one of them. On the contrary, I have en- deavored as best I could, Both in court and out of court, tosecurécompetition and re- quire the faithful observiince of contracts. “With referenco to owing certain taxes this is a charge with reference to which 1 make no denial. It istrue that I have not paid cortain taxes mow standing against some of my proverty; but it is also true, as my receipts will show, that for the years re- fecred to in the editorial of the World-Her- ald T have paid & much larger sum than I am now owing. S0 taras my ofcial actions are concerned, Iam willing they should be criticised when- ever they deserve criticism. I feel, how- ever, that the criticism n_this instance is unfair as well as unjustifiable.” MORE CAMPAILGN LIES, Truth Crushed to Earth by the Mayor Bemis, The opponents and defamers of Mayor Bemis in this campalgn have resorted to every despicable method to drive from the mayor's support staunch friends. False- hoods of every description have been cir- culated and as often have been branded and proven such. Among the latest of these stories Is the oneto the effect that Mayor Bemis has promised to appoint to positions in case of his re-election many_different persons. The story has been particularly circulated that the promise has been made to appoint a well known homeopathic physician to the posi- tion of comwissioner of health, Those who are acquainted with Mayor Bemis are aware that one of the strongest traits of his char- acter is an untrampled will and perfect i dependence, and that ho is not making pledges of & political nature. A reporter mentioned the matter to the mayor yes- terday morning ana he said : “I have made no pledges of what I shall do or what I shall not do. There is not an appointive position within my gift that has been promised to any person from ciLy attor- ney down to dog catcher, 1t re-elected I shall enter upon my second term, as I did my first, free from any combinations or in- fluences, and in mukiug my selections shall do 80 for the best interests of the city, and above all they shail not be made as awards of u political nature. If stories have been cireulated that | have promised positions they are entirely false and shou'd be quickly discredited, us I do not make pledges to any one and prefer to bo froe to act as 1 behieve best for the taxpayers.” Enemies of SWEDISH MASS MEYTING, Great Enthustasm Greets the Mention of Mayor Bemis' Name.

A meeting was held last evening at Mil- ler's hall, at Eighteenth and Vinton street to allow that pair of populistic perennial promisers, fko Hascall and Ernest Stuht, to make & few hund red more millionaires, the goods mot to be delivered, however, until after they are elected to the positions to which they aspire. Frank Walters pre- sided, and spoke briefly, but was compelled to get out of the road Hascall ap- peared. Isaac proced why he was the only man who was especially fitted to be mayor at this ists, but admitted that he would not be thoroughly happy in the mayor's chair unless the canal bonds were voted. He assured every voter present that if he was elected he woula see to it that the canal was built, even if he had to take a shovel and go out and dig the ditch himself. He knew that all the laboring men in the city wanted work, while he wanted votes, and lie was ready'to promise each one a barrel of flour, three tons of coul, a side of bedf, a catload of potatoes, & house and lot, a car- riage and pair, a mickintosh and a_sun um- brella for ey Hascall voto that was dropped in the siot on election‘day, provided, of course, his roll of Wiley boodle did not give out and he was placed in a position where, by a judicious consideration of cor. poration interests, he would be able to get more. Ernest Stuht did not want to be outdone by Hascall in the matter of guarantees of the future, but he could not promise any of the fruit from the tree of eterval happiness, as he realized that he would be unablo to get near enough to either shake the trece or stone the branches, so he contonted himseif with telling about how he would build a union depot on or near thes présent site, if he was elected to the council. He assured the crowd that if he was elected he would see that no depot was built at the foor of arnam street, while he was going to “preak de heart mit Rosewater und some of doso udder fellers as I vas had it in for big as a houses und dond you forget it needer.” S. (. Wilcox voiced i feeble-minded hope that he might encumber the office of justice of the peace for two y more, but did not receive mucl nt. Considerable enthusiasm was manifested, especially after adjournment to the adjoin: mg bar. According to the opinions of those present, if that bartender and saloon keeper don’t vote for Hascall they ought to be nailea to the bottom of the canal when the water is turned in, and left there for a few generations, until their ingcatitude is washed out of them. OCRATS, Washington Hall Eliled with a Large Sized Gathering. There was a largel attended Danish democratic mass meeting last evetting at ‘Washington hall. Speeches were made in the mother tongue, urging loyalty to the cause of democracy. J. J. Mahoney delivered a long speech in dnglish, in which he upheld the democratic banner and discussed the issues ot the cam- paign.
