In the absence of Mayor Lawrence Alderman wcupied the chair. After some routine business of an important nature had been transacted, J. R. Webster of Omaha, who was present in the interest of the Interstate Bridge and Street Railway any, presented the following resolution, which ne asked to have adopted : Whereas, The freanchise heretofore granted by the cify council of the eity of Council Biulls, Tn, to ths Interstate Bridge and Stroot Railws ipany provides that the tio within wi a4 company shall com- plete its tracks muy be oxtended for the petlod of two years, provided said conipany suffered delay” in obtaining permission froti congross to build its bridge across the Mis- souri river, or was deluyed by strfkes, high water or other unavoldable causes: and Whoreas, Said company was delayed in ob- taining (s franchise from congress and required by congress to build Dridie than was at first contenpl nocessitating the expenditn greater sum of woney in 1ts construction Wherens, The preliminary work ubout and upon the ‘pier upon which the d sald bridge rests was twice wash 3 y subjecting sald company Jennings much ted, thereby ild company has already buily has noperation its main line of ay from the city of Omaha to the pproie ald_ bridge, thereby domonstrating that it has actod in good faith, nd that it intonds o complete its lne us aplaly as circumstances will permit: and Whereas, The sald franchise further pre vides th d compuny shall charge not more than & H-cent fare from the city of Coun- il BIuffs to the city of Omalia; therefore be it Resolved, by the eity council of the city of Council BT, Tu,, That because of the suid above mentioned delays, the Inferstate Bridgo and Railway comp is entitled to the two years extension to the thne limits mentioned in suld franchise. Bxplanations of Mr. Webster. When the resolution had been r Webster made some remarks in which he stated the reasons which he thought would justify the city in thus extending the time for the comvany to complete its operations. In thoe first place, when the bridge charter was brought up in congress Senator Vest put in an amendment requiring the company to build a heavy railway bridge. This neces- sitated a reorganization of the company and the securing of a complete set of new plans. The latter required the expenditure of $30,- 000 in cold cash. A second amendment, ne continued, had been but in, requiving the company to give congress 4 map showing high and low water marks for a mile above and below the bridge site and the strength of curr all times. T'his he consid d an entirely useless proceeding. and it coss the company £,000 to cavry out the provisions of the amendment, besides a delay of many months. The de v of contractors, the in the Carnegie iron works, which was the only place 1w the country where iron for caisson piers conld be bought, and the repeated washing out of the false work were mentiened us ad- ditional reasons wh the company had not been able to complete its work in the allotted time. Mr. Webster said he had been in- formed that the company would meet twith obstructions and litigation if it tried to push its way into the city, and he wanted certain the truin of this report before company laid out any more money for wnd the like. One Objection Mentioned. Alderman Smith pushed that $1,200 judg- ment at him and said that «s the company’s mneglect had caused the city this expense he thought the company should reimburse the - Webster replied that that was a which should be discussed by the attorneys for the city and the company. Tibbeuts moved that a committee of three be ap- vpointed, with the city attorney, to consult with the attornoy for the company, and that the resolution should be referred to the committee of the whole to be discussed at & meeting to be held after this conference took place, Keller seconded the motion. and Chairman Jennings appointed Aldermen Keller, Smith and White to act as such a committee with the city attor- ney. There was some dispute among the members of the council as to whether the motion was put to a vote, but whother it was or not, the minutes ot clerk say it was carried, and whether it was or nov will probably come up for discus- sion at the next meeting. The ordirance allowing sidewalks in any part of the city to_be built of hard burned brick mstead of natural or artificial stone was read the third time and passed. Alderman Smith presented an ordinance forbidding the scraping of snow from the tracks of any v $0 us'to form embank- ments at a greater distance than four feet from the curbstone, and providing a tine of not more than $100 nor less than 25 for each fracture thereof. It went over under the rules, and now street western 1 Mr. strike Ex-Chlef Nicholson's Case. A matter then came up in which the gen- cial public feels a good deal of interest, namely, the question of investigating the wlleged official misconduct of ex-Chief Nicholson of the fire department. Alderman Keller was the one to first suggest it, ond next Thursduy ovening was finally determined upon as the time for be- ginning the investigation, Alderman Smith then introduced a resolution that made a de- cidedly uncomfortuble feeling apparent among the other aldermen. It has been con- tended all along by some people that the aldermen, or rather a part of them, never in- tended to make a thorough investigation, but intended, if public ntiment would allow it, to go through the motions and then reinstate Nicholson merely on the ground of his being a democrat. Smith’s resolution instructed the city attorney to collect such evidence against Nicholson as he might think proper and bring it up on the night of the investigation. This evidence was just what the white- wash members of the council didn't want. Smith is the only republican member of the couneil, so far as Nicholson’s investigation is concerned, for ‘Uibbetts is, to all intents and purposes, & democrat, voting and working with them whenever Nicholson's shortcom- ings are brought up. Kor some minutes it looked as though Smith’s resolution was not gomng to have uny second, but finally, after a couple of minutes exceedingly awkward silence, White droppea out of line and sec- onded it. Then each alderman had to show his hand, aund the wesolution was adopted unanimously. Ave selling 10 a week of those steel- plate ranges. They are bound to drive out all other cooking stoves.

Holmes against the city was placed upon trial yesterday after- noon in the district court. Holmes, who was formerly city attorney and appeared for the city in three of the cases in which suit was brought against the city by private indi- viduals for tho purpage of regaining posses- sion of chunksof Fairmount park, is suing for 3,000 attorney fees in the three cases. Nothing had been heard of Holmes’ claim for several years untii last spring, when the sum of §10,000 was awarded to two other at- torneys who had represented the city in certain park livization. Holmes had up to that time received about $600, and he immediately awoke to the situation with such a vengeance that the suit now pending was started. The §3,000 1s merely for the time during which he claims to have been employed by the city after his term of office as city attorney had expired. ‘The defense of the city 1s that the claim is exorbitant for the work that was actually done, and that Holines, moreover, was never employed by the city in the cases. City Attorney Hazelton is using up a good deal of the gray matter in his brain in the effort to discover a lawyer whom he can call in to swear that §3,000 is an exorbitant charge. If an arrangement could have been made between the attorneys by which the case should be tried to the court, however, a dif- ferent result might have been reached. Last Saturday Judge Smith heard the testimony of three different lawyers as to the reason- ableness of the charge of §1,500 made by cer- tain attorneys of this city in u divorce case. All three testified that $1,500 looked atl right to them, but in spite of that testimony Judge Smith looked back at the time when he was conducting law suits and gave the attorneys a judgment for $500. It is ve- ported that Holmes' attorneys in the present instance would have been willing to leave the case to Judge Smith’s decision, but the city attorney preferred to go before a jury.

The veports of the inspectors for the months of September and October together with the mortality veports were read and ap- proved. he question of reducing the foree of in- spectors was discussed at some length. It was stated that the funds on hand would not be sufficient to last the year out and that there was no prospect of getting any more from the council. On motion of Mr. Me- Learie, Iuspectors C. O. Dooley and J. C. Stockham were discharged. The action of Commissioner Somers_in retiring J. C. Hub- bard was approved.

Several Thieves Endeavor to Sell Silver S Taken From A Sunctuury. Yesterday afternoon two young men went into Max Meyer & Co's. jewelry store at Eieventh and Farnam streets and offered to dispose of & quantity of old silver. Max Meyer was present and he asked to see the goods. The men placed a small sack on the counter and exposed some pieces of broken silverware and offered to sell them quite cheap. Mr. Meyer examined the metal and discovered that'it had formerly been in use in a church, but he was more than surprised when he ascertained that the stuff had been purchased from his store and had been in- scribed by one of his cngravers.

For sometime there has been bad blood between Sam Wilson and Thomas Jefferson. They have ‘“‘sassed” back for several months and vhere seemed to be quite a rivalry as to which was the best waiter. Yesterday the war of words came to an end and a po- tato knife in the hands of Thomas Jefferson played a star part for a few moments. Wilson openea hostilities by throwing a plate at the head of Jefferson d the latter picked up the nearest weapon at hand,which happened to be a potato knife. With this in his right hand Jeflerson started after his enemy and in the language of the street gamn, “he got-him good and hard.” was a clinch and a slash. Wilst 3 cut from ear to ear and looked a gooa de: like Billy Kersands’ mouth in the minstrel ghow. This did not satisfy the negro with the knife and he went at it again. Nine cuts on Wilson’s head was the result of this encounter. Two of thesc cuts were s1x inches in length. Wilson fell to the floor and nted from the loss of blood. Jefferson jumped out of a window into a passiagewiy and hid in the cella Sergeant «Ormsby happened along and Manager Hulett roported the matter to him. Ormsby called a doctor, and then hunted up his namesuke Thomas Jefferson, He found the negro hiding behind a big pile of potu- toes in the cellar, and dragged Lim out. When taken out Jefferson asked *‘is he dead?” Wnen told that Wilson had not yet expired, the prisoner remarked: *I wish that I had killed the - Jofferson was at once taken to police headquarters and locked up. On the blotter he is charged with assault with intent to kill. Ormsby then had the wounded mau taken to his home, 1316 _Capitol avenue, and remained there while Dr. Bacon sewed up the cuts. [t took thirty stitches to close the gaps in Wilson’s face and head. He is very weak from the loss of blood, and it will bo some time before his physician will him to go into court and testify agdainst his assailant, Dr. Bacon s that if inflam mation sets in the wounds may result ser iously. nd ——-——— COFFIELD’S CAREER. ‘The Would-13e Bank Swindler Has a Record in Other Cities.
