WO THOUSAND. Corson's Suit Against Moline Plow Company for Breach of Cont Amaziah L. Corson has br ht suit in the district court, seeking to recover tho sum of $42,654, alleged damages arising from a breach of contract, whereby he was de- posed as rof the Moline Plow com- pany of Kansas City. In his petition the plaintiff charges that during the month of August, 1888, he entered into a contract with the plow company, agreeing to act in the capacity of manager for the period of five yeurs at n salary of $3000 per and 10 per cent of the profits a: from tho business. He also all that he became the owner of shares of the stock of tne company, which at par value were worth $1,000 por share. On November 1, 1888, he alleges that he took the management of the Kansas City house and continued in charge until June, 1802, when, by the conspiring of the stockholders, he was discharged.

People interested in these estates are anxious for their mouey and have urged County Judge Baxter to muke this order. In the estate of Edward McKenna, the man who was murdered by Barney McGian, the appraisers have made their return, fix- ing 84,125 us the value of the property. J. C. Kelby has been appointed adminis- tratorof the estate of Mary Ramacciott, de- ceased. with Charles V. Miles and John Q. Adams, appraisers.

Notwithstanding the fact that the whole- sale twine and seed firm of Phil Stimmel & Co. went to the wall some time ngo, and that all of the assets have been gobbled up by the creditors who got in on the ground floor, suits continue to be instituted by men who were left., Yesterday the Peoria Cordage company sued for $1,871, with Kingman & Co. coming in later with suit for $1,000.

Then with a shght renufiection of the knee and an obsequious bow, he stepped forward and asked in real, old southern plantation tones, “1s the wmashaul in?” and he again looked searchingly about the dark corners of the ety jail. Thioking that his business was with the marshal, and that probably no one else would be of service to him, he was carefully informed that there was not now such un ofticer in the city, but that that was the city jail, and that hero he might obtain what e wanted.

The sufferer is a man of midale age and he has only recently been a resident of Omaha, The case was reported yesterday morn- ing to the city authorities, and Dr. Somers went down to investizate the matter. The e was not within his jurisdiction and he referred it to the county authoritios. They directed that the man be sent to the county hospital and Superintendent Stryker was telephoned to that effe He was not long in telling the Rescue hall people that the case couid not be taken there, What was to be done was a serious que tion. The mawwas suffering with a con- taglousuisease, and a doctor present said ho was more likely to die before the day was over than not, and there was no place to take him where he could receive care and norishment.

Owmama, Jan. 3L.—To the Editor of Tue Bee: An article in Saturday evening's Bee, headed “*Ten Thousand Spinsters,” by Mr. Walter Besant, prompts me to raise my voice publicly. Although the wholesale dis- charge of men referred to in the article, for the purpose of engaging women in their places, occurred in England, the example is applicable o us also, as_we are not behind the mwother country on this subject. Are our people, brigt.t and intelligent, not aware of the immeasurable detriment which the substitution of women iabor for men im- plies? Cun any one afford to ignore tho gravity of this question ard refuse to ad- mit the slow but sure doom which our com- munity is going Lo meet? Are not our work giving mechanics fand_help-employing office holders alive to the situation? The reply from the former will be: “We cannot afford to hire men exclusively, as general debility of busiess, close competi- tion on all sides and smull margins do not warrant the higher wages which a man stenographer, cashier or (last but not lest), solicitor commands.” This is a very plausible answer, but it is an indirect consequence. Let us see in what way the highest wuges he has to pay men are counterbalanced. It requires threo women clerks to do two meu's work (you may mot want to admit this, but it is s0), Those two men are thrown out of employment and have to look for other work at smaller sal- aries, the three women aro likewise earning less individually, and all five have to b: gain 'round for the necessaries that sustain life, thus putting a check on *‘trade.” But what are our women going to do for a livelinood? What is to become of these 2,500 female clerks who are battling with an existence in offices in this town alone? Of course no one would demand a general dis- charge of such a force on the spot, but if n cases of vacancies employers would resort to theold-time method of hiring men, our women and girls would soon start out to explore the arid fields of feminine vocations which are better paying, more healthful aud above all more manly. Now, if there be no valid excuse for a dealer' or merchant who is dependent on profizs, what can our wirthy municipal of- ficers say who drive men out of our public buildings, the court house, city hall, and postoftice by inviting au unfair competition instead of discouracing it. It is an in- fringement of men’s rights, who hold a natural and legal claim to masculine posi- tions. ‘T'he Commereial club, in its efforts to pro- mote business and trade in general, could do very effcctive work in this way, by holding the matter up before its members and in- ducing them 1o take up a reformatory prac- tice in their spheve, So use your influence on those about you and don’t simply express your approval, but if you will remain dcaf to a timely word of warning. pleass don’t express your astonish- ment if a well-dressed and qualified man knocks at your back door and asks the privilege to do chores for a “handout.” ComyMoN WELFARE, e We could not improve the quality if we aid double the DeWitt's Witeh Hazel Salve is the be that ex produce, or L can buy.

No Need Now to Ask for Candle Power of Lights. By the terms of a resolution introduced by Mr. Wheeler Tuesday nizght and adopted by the council thecity comptroller was directed to advertise for bids for furnishing are lights for $trect lighting for the term of three years, smd lights to be the standard commercial lamp, sapplied with a current of ten amperes and forty-five volts, or 430 watts. This is the quality of light the city has been getting, or rather the quality of elec- tric lighting the company claims it has been furnishing under a contract calling for nghts of 2,000-candle power. It will be remembered that for tha past year and a half the mayor has been vetoing the bills of the Thomson-Houston company on the ground that the company was not complying with its contract and was not furnishing lights of more than 1,200-candle power. These vetoes have been regularly over- ridden by the council. The Thomson-Houston company is supply- ing lights under two contracts, one of which expires in May and the other in November. The ono expiring in November provides for lights for §175 per annum and the other con- tract provides for lights at §140 per annum. Both contracts reqjuirve the lights to be of 2,000-candle power. By the terms of the Wheeler resolution above referred to no wention 1 to be made of cundle power, A business man, who is familiar with affairs about the city hall, stated yesterday that the new deal was undoubtecly result of overtures mide by representat! of the Thomson-Houston company, in whi it was proposed to waive all rights under contract expiving in November, when its second contract expires in May, providing that the city should readvertise for bids for a new contr: n which the standard should ba electrical measurements instead of candle power. According Lo this samo authority the Thomson-Houston company is to submit a bid for lighting at a lower figure than $140 per lamp per annum. In this counection a statoment recently ade by City Electriciun Cowgill may bo of n compl, ith a resolution of v council Mr, Cowgill has been mak- ing periodical trips to the electric lighting station for tho purpose of making tests of tho amperage and voltage of the various lighting lines. The clectrician is supplied with insteuments of the latest desi ro- cently purchased from the most reliable firms in the country, and ha tana in- stvument in the office, with which the porta- ble instruments arc carefully compared, He is, therefore, equipped with th ilities for making accurate tests, and measurements taken by him at the electric lighting station indicate thay the company is not supplying an average of 450 volts per lamp. Repeated measurements, covering a period of sev months, show that the amperago is as | six on several of the nine circul and the superintendeat of the lighting company, M. refused to uI 0w the to test the v Jhe civcuits, claiming that Mr. Cows tru- ments were out of order, but. aceording to Mr. Cowgill, the testing instruments of the lighting company have been conveniently in some other place every time he visitod tho lighting station, so that a comparison of the two sets of instrunients was impossiblo, 1t was the tulk about the corridors of the city hall yestemday that the rejection of Cowgill us electrician due to the oppo- sition of the gentlemanly manager of the Thomson-Houston eompany, and the arg ment of one gentleman, that the comp: could no objections to Cowgill's m: urements of arc lights under the proposed scheme for measurement, was mot by an- other gentleman by the charge that the company is not mow supplyin 1ts pe lemp and probably would' not do so under another contract.

The trouble all arose over the mere question of hiring a $15-per-month boy., ome time ago when the commissioners were in committee of the whole figuring on the number of employes and the monthl salaries to be paid, some of the membe favored the scueme of hiring a page to tend to the meotings of the board, whose addivional duties shoutd consist in waiting npon and attending to the wants of the offi- cials, putting in his spare moments wrestling with books which had to be carried to and from the vault in the clerk's ofti When the committee made its report there was nothing to indicate that there were any pro- visions made for the employment of a singlo boy. Atthat time Mr. Paddock charged that there had been some underhanded work; that it had been agreed that tho vices of the boy were required, aod without consulling him the other of the committee had fixed things themselves. Like one man the four coll gentleman from the Little Pappio der imputation and intimated thav the was talking through his tile, y ther duced providing fixing his salar as the pape into the ubout having been whips members of the committee Chairman istencd to the speech and then rommittee iv was discussed and by ty vote deeidea not to hirc a boy to run ervands and tote books for clerks and employes. He thougnt that the matter was discussed at different times ana then voted.down, ending with the con- clusion that if Mr. Paddock did not know what he was talking about he should keep his mouth shut. Tnis was more than the Little Pappio member could stand and baring his breast for the fray, he talked of times when he been bamboozled and squelched by the other members. The time had come for action and he did uot propose to submit to such action any longer. All of the members wanted to talk and then the chairman pounded a hole 1 the top of his desk in a vain effort to restore orde; Order, however, was not in a mood to be 14 stored, and the fiery debate continued to the gratifisation of the lobby. Matters were becoming serious and Mr. Jenkins tried to pour oil upon the troubled waters by raising a point of order, insisting that the debate not germain to the question.” The chair ruled that the poiut of order was well taken and in the turmoil that followed the resolution was adopted, The vote by which the bill of the Mer- chants hotel. of §419, for meals furnished v jurors wa d was taken up and recon- siderca, > bill was then referred back to the committeo from whence it oviginally came, ‘The bills of the special police who served in South Omaha on the day of the lust gen- eral election were stricken from the month- ly pay sheet, Mr, Paddock stating that I was informed that there was fraud con nected with the presentation of the same.

Principals in_a Council Case Have a One Round Free-for-AllL “'here was a very lively one round fight in front of the New York Life building yes- terday forenoon. The participantsincluded Councilman Chris Specht, Attorney E. W Simeral, A, Matson and Herman erskie, According to the account of the affair given by the principals Simeral was stand- ing in front of the Life building when Specht passed. As Specht crossed Simeral's path he called the attorney a blackmailer, referring to the communication sent to the council by Simeral "Tuesday evening. In reply Mr. Simeral told Specht what he thought of him. Specht evidently aidn't like such talk and said: *If I was not sick I would break your facein.” He then made a swipe at the Jawyer and they clinched. At this point Matson and Guerskie rushed up and took a hand. Matson grabbed Simeral's hands ana held them behind his b: in order to pre- vent him from striking Specht.
