This outcome of tho oversy was foreseen by tho receivers, for as early as December 10 thev applied for and obtajued from Judge Jenkins of the United States court of this city an order authorizing and airecting them to put into operation the new schedule of wage and restraining the employes aud their unions from *‘conbining and conspiring to quit with or without notice the service of the road with the objoct of crip- pling or embarrassing its oporation. and wenerally from interfering with the ofiicers and agents of the receivers or their em- ployes in any manner by actual violence, in- timidation, threats or otherwise.” Held Bick Until Yesterday, This injunction was held back untii today, the receivers having expectod toarrive at an amicable agreement. When tiey found such an agreement impossible they tel- aphed to their agents and attorncys all ng the line to have the injunction servea by the United States marshals on the proper_men and to make tho injunction gen- crally known. The order of thecourt restraining Northern Pacific employes from and_conspiring o quit the service road.’” is an cxtraordiy the tirst order of its kind, 1t is is- suea in the United States. A somewhat similar injunction was issued by an United States Judge inMichigan during the sirike onthe “Toledo & Ann Arbor road, but that injunction was issued after the strike was 1 prosress. The grounds for the issuance of tho pres- ent injunction are set forth in o long peti- tion of the receivers, which was filed’ De- cember 18, 1t appears from the petition that two days after theiv appointment (August 17) the receivers, finding the affairs of the vond in a deplovable condition, ordered a duction of salaries varying from 10 to 20 per cent of all ofiicials and” employes whose pay per annum exceeded £1,200. That reduction went into effect ut onco and was cheerfully ceepted. About a weelk afterward (August 5) Lhe receivers ordered a reduction of 5 ent on all wages running from £ to and of 10 percent op wages averaging £75 to $100 per mouth. This order of the receivers did not go into effect atonce. They concluded to_investi- ate and revise the entire system of wages nd the different schedules of pay, the task being imposed on the general manager. At a meeting of the receivers on October 25 resolutions were adopted abrogating the old sehedules of pay, directing the general man- ager to prepare @ new schedule for the cugineers, trainmen and telezraphors. and ordering s reduction of the wages of tho other men as provided for August 25. The petition says that in the old schedules the employes were paid for services not per- formed.

New York, Dec. %.—The Herald suys Tthas often been said there would very likely bo a midnight receivership for the New York & New England railway. All the preparations were secretly made to ry out such a program in the early hours of the morning, but at the hour of publica- tion it cannot be definitely stated whether a United States court judge hasafixed his signature to the order or not At 1 a. m. several lawyers and stock brokers were scurrying around trying to fiud Judge Lacomb, who had come down from his country residence at Avhens, N. Y., presumably on this very errand. Were After MeLeod, Fheir purpose was to steal a march on President McLecd and get a bostilo re- ceiver appointed. They succeeded in throw- ing him off the scent very well, but if they slipped up on the application last night the chances of success today are not 8o good. Mr. McLeod fooled somo claver people before and got himself appointed receiver of the Philadelphia & Reading road. Therc is every reason to believe he intended to do something of the kind in, sinco he has repeated his tactics n the stock market and last week “un- loaded" most if not all his stock to the “bull pool” that he had formed himself.

Frenzer and obher: Mayor Bemis sent in sevoral important veto messages, ana all of them provoked spirited discussion. Water Wo any's Bill The most important was the veto of the bill of the American Water Works company of #MLTUSOS for fire hydrant rental for the last six months of tho presont year. The language was: 1 have vetoed this item for the reason that the water works company 18 not complying with the terms of its contract with the city, which provides that the said compnny shall furnish an adequate supply of water “to afford amuolo protection to property agaiost fire for a radius of 1,000 feet trom caeh hydrant with- out the aid of either steam or hand engine I danot think there can ba any controversy over the statement that the water company does not afford sullicient fire protection. ery citizen of Omahi knows that the loss by wost of our disastrous fires 1s due largely toan in- adequate water supply.

[ T have also vetoed this item for the reasons stated in seve previous messuges on the bills of this company to, the effect that the conmpany refuses 10 coniply with the ag ment entered Intd with the city regarding the relocation of useless hydrants. Mr. Saunders stited that the question had been before the judiciary committec. He said that the contract did notstate what sizo the nozzle should have which is used iu making tests, and until there was suficient cevidence produced to show that the com- pany was not living up to its coutract; he believed the bill snould oe paid. Mr. Wheeler, speaking from an insurance standpoint, said that he believed that the water works company had performed its duty so far as pressure was concerned at fires. The veto was not sustained, the vote standing 3 to 14, Clontarf Not Wanted. The mayor vetoed the ordinance extending the corporate limits by taking in Clontarf precinct on the southeast. Unless a change of the charter provision relating to cornorate limits could be sccured the passage of this ordinance might seriously interfere with, it not absolutely prevent, the desired exton- ston of the city in the future, as no change could be made exeept whea an increase of population of at least 20,000 has been made, as shown by the state or national census. 1t was not improbabie that some satisfactory concessions coull be made by the proper authorities, so that the bottle-shaped pieceof land, which, according to the recent decision of the United States supreme court, belongs to the state of lowa, could be ceded to the state of Nebraska, and othor grounds not desived by the state of Nebraska or the city of Omaha could be ceded to the state of Towa. If this should bo done it might be vory desirable to change the corporate lines of the city at points other than at Clontarf. As the mayor viewed the matter, effect of passing this ordinance might and detrimental to the in- terests of the city of Omaha. The benefits to bo derived from the passago of this ocdi- | nance, oven if it could be legally passed, wauld be of mivor importance and iusig nificance compared with the injury that wight v worked. The discussion on the question of sus‘ain- ing the veto daveloped aerimonious feelings among some of the members. Mr. Howell requested information upon a law point from City Attorney Conuell, to which Mr. Hascall objected. A motion to suspend the rules was voted down. Mr. Howell, boforo the vote wils tuken, stited he would refuse to vote until the informuation sought was given, Later Mr. blunro requested information from the attorney aud Hascall again ob- jected. Mr. Munro and Mr. Howell both eharacterized Mr. Haseall's tactics as those of “gog ana scored the gentleman from the Ist. The mayor's veto was sustained by nearty & unanimous vote. Asphalt Company's Bill Vetoed. The third veto was of ag item_in the ap- propriation ordinance in favor of the Barber ‘Asphall_company, amounting to §),116,48, Mayor Beuus belicyed that the amount was in excess of that fairly due tho company under 1ts contract’ for keepiug the paved streets of the eity in répair.

Accord- ingzto the cily opgiuger’s report the cow- pany had not doue its work in such a mann #s to be entitled to the amount, and the position of tiie engamecy should be'sustained by the mayor and douneil ' The wmembers devoled cousiderable tune to a discussion of e tuerits of the claim. | Messrs.

Lecture of Great Forco and Brillinucy by the Chicago Preach 1t is only on some such rare occasion as last evening that an Omaha audience is per- mitted to listen to 5o profound a student, so liant an ovator as Rev. Dr. Frank Gunsalus, astor of the Plymouth Congregational chureh, Chicago. = Mr. Gunsalus did not come 'as a total strangs for he has been heard in an Omaha pulpit before, and his finely written historical story of the reformation in Eu- rope, “The Monk and Knight,” has contrib- uted to the largess of his fame, but Mr. Guuosalus came as a lecturer last nighu and the large sudience that heard of the wonder- ful life of Girolamo Savonarola, the subject of the lecture, went away with broader ideas, a more perfect. uuderstanding of the genius of the man who lived n the most brilliant afternoon of medixval history. Nothing could have been more delightful than the picture the speaker drew of Savon- arola’s early life and his first love affair, told with all the grace of a past master in the art of story telling, and then with the ability of a great artist, he lighted up the lecture with sharp epigram, humorous invo- cation, and laughable situations as he drew sons from the lowly wonk whose utter s have left their impress upon the civili- zation of four centuries. Born un 1452, before 20 Savonarola . had vices of the briliant _court of Ferrara that of this man toiling with Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas and the bible from which changed the whole character of Europe. The lecturer spoke of Savonarols as an orator, as a preacher, as a poct, as i states man and lastly martyr, picturing with dramat the Piazza delha Signoria,when Savonarola's were given to the Arro. Here and the Sophocles, Plautus, Horace, Virgil, Tacitus. the splendors of the reunais: which, said Dr. Gunsaius, means “reformation” and the brilliancy of the courts in the uime of Lorenzo de Medici, who was at the time height of his fame, and the virgin queen, Elizabeth. As o statesinan Girolamo Savonarola,” said the doctor, “stands out in the most dazzling brilliancy. He made Florence a republic, and 150 years before the town meeting at' Plymouth he held a town meeting in Florence, Theo. us now, taxation wasa vital thing in the ccon- nment, and Savonaroly d nues by taxing the rich, whick is the I manner of providing for revenues nec- essary to the conduct of nutions. Probably the most dramatic portion of tha lecture was the scene avthe deathbed of Lorenzo, which was given with magnificent force by Dr. Guusalus. The doctor hasa fine delivery and a polishea style, and his scholarly attainments, coupled iwith u broad andlvigorous mindundmare oratorical power, make Dr. Guusalus one of the strong men in the American pulpit and on the American platform. e TRINITY METHODIST CHILDREN.
