At the re- quest of the court, Colonel Pettit made a synopsis of the allegations on which he thought It would be necessary to furnish proof. “Some time was Consumed in going over the synopsis and explaining it to the satisfaction of the court.

They claim that all actions against them have not been legal and are occasionally inclined to be bitter in expressing themselves against the injunction order of Judge Jenkins, but assert positively that a strike is a last resort, and will not even be considered until all other means of attaining their end have failed.

The democratic members seemed had an Inkling of what was coming, was quietly whispered around for an hour or two before the meeting that this was down the bills, and shortly before $ President Howoll called all t democrats and Councilman Hascall into the committee room, w ‘e a short caucus was held. When they emerged cach councilman bad a full deck of trumps up his sleeve. It was a few minutes after the regular time when the gavel fell. Deputy United States Marshal Coggeshall served notices of an (njunction restraining the members from proceeding with the proposed changes | in the railroad assessment against the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railroad; President Howell named A. H. Behrens sergeant-at-arms, the appointment being confirmed; the annual reports of the city treasurer, commissioner of health and gas inspector were recelved, and then came the appofntment of Mr. Shdemaker. or at once moved to confirm and ler said it could not be done without reconsidering the action of a former meet- ing which roferred all these appointments to the judieia committtee, The chair overruled the gentleman from the Fourth, who called for the reading of the journal of January 9 The record was read and Wheeler chal- lenged its correctness. In the absence of Mr. Bechel, who made the orfginal motion, the chair held that the written record was the best evidence and ordered the roll call on confirmation. The appointment was confirmed following vote: Yeas—Burkley, Bisasser, Hascall, Holmes, Lemly, Andrews, I . Mr. President—10. Bruner, s, Jacobsen, Wheeler--7. On the first call both Jacobsen and Specht passed, and on the recall both voted no, but before the result was announced Specht changed to aye, and gave Mr. Shoemaker a Job. ’ The mayor also sent in the name of Richard Smith for building inspector, but on motion of Holmes the appointment was sent to the judiciary committee. BBBITT'S HOPES AGAIN BLASTED. Parker called up the action of the recom- mendation of the vote rejecting the appoint- ment of Richard Ebbitt as city veterenarian. The action was reconsidered by a vote of 9 to S, with the democrats and Hascall ar- rayed against the republicans. aunders raised the point that a full majority vote was necessary to reconsider, but was overruled. The roll call on confirmation resulted in another blasting of Ebbitt’s hopes by a repetition of the vote in Shoemaker's case. Comunications setting forth the action of the Board of Fire and Police commissioners relative to a new city jail, to minors on the streefs after 9 p. m., to the desirability of a new compilation of the ordinances apd re- stricting peddlers, were referred to the com- mittee on police. The bills of the gas company amounting to $1,583.88, and of the electric light compary amounting to $2,864.43, for the month of Jan- uary were referred. The request of the park commissioners for the services of the cily engineer was laid on the table. The bond of the American National banl in the sum of $50,000 as a city depository was referred to the city attorney. Herman Kountze asked that Tenth street between Mason and Williams be repaved. Referred. J. E. Bonewitz petitioned for the exten- sion of the Leavenworth strect car line from Fortieth to Forty-elghth streot. Referred. A comunication was received from the fire insurance bureau praying for the speedy passage of the pending electrical or- dinance. It was set forth that the ex- isting ordinance is inadequate and unless changed would induce a great many com- panies to quit doing business in the city. It was claimed that the proposed ordinance was the only safeguard proposed to prevent disastrous fires, and that the interestof the companies in this matter was also the in- terest of the property owners. The matter was referred. T. C. Bruner withdrew his offer of land relative to the North Omaha ditch, made a week ago. A communication from General Manager Dickinson of the Union Pacific suggested that all communications from the city to the Union Pacific be addressed to the court, inasmuch as the road was in the hands of recoivers. The protest of W. F. Sweezy and others against the use of Jefferson square for any but park purposes was referred, The building inspector was allowed $50 to defray expenses of a trip to Boston to attend the al convention of the Na- tional Association of Building Inspectors, The_ president was instructed to appoint a special committee of three to devise ways and means to offset the deluy of property owners in paying special assessments caused by the recent decision of Judge Ambroso, and named Saunders, Cahn and Edwards, The finance committee reported in favor of amending the sewer bond ordinance by making the sum $40,000 inatead of $75,000, owing to the imposaibility of exceeding. the limit of bonded indebtedness. Adopted. DEBATE OVER TAX LEVY. The finance committee roported the tax levy for 1894 as agreed upon by the informal menting of the council on the preceding day. Elsasser oftered a resolution calling for a radical reduction, but it was defeated, as was the committce report immediately aftorward, the majority being in favor of still further retrenchment, although mnot to the extent propozed by Rlsasser. After the vote was reconsidered, Burkley moved to change the sinking fund levy from 8 to 7 mills; water, from 4 to 3% mills; lighting, from 3 to 2% mills; curbing, guttering and cleaning, from 2 to 1% mills; and the gen- eral fund from 10 to § mills. The council declined to cut the water levy, but reduced the curbing, guttering and cloaning levy from 2 to 1% mills. A lengthy discussion followed the at- tempt to reduce the sinking fund levy. The city treasurer insisted that 8 mills would ba necessary, and the comptroller receded from his positfon previously taken that 7 mills wonld be sufficient. It was finally decided that the maintenance of the city's credit abroad would not permit any niggardliness in this direction, and the levy was left at 8 mills, while the lighting fund levy was allowed to stand at 3 mills, and the gen- eral fund levy at 10 mills. Hascall kicked against auy reduction. His speech had the effect of inducing Idwards to move to reconsider the reduction of the curbing fund lpvy, but it failed to carry. Elsasser moved again to reduce the gen- cral fund levy from 10 to § mills. It was fought by Wheeler and Edwards, but it car- ried by u vote of § to 8, The ordinance was thon ordered engrossed in accordance with these figures, calling for a levy of 43% mills for municipal purposes for 1894, Y mill less than last year. The Jwiclary committoe ropovtad laying Investigated the charges prefarred by B. W. Simeral against Counecilman Hpocht, aud ex- vrossed the belief that they wore unfounded and inspired by lmproper motives. It was | further set forth that the charges were fal-s laclous and mendacious, and that there was nothing that would wartant *he mayor in in- | stituting Impeachmont progeadings. Wheeler said the proceolings were irreg- ular, and wanted the ‘natter sent to the mayor, but the report of the comunittee was pted The committee on public property and buildings reported in favor of reducing the as as over com- to have for it on o'clock by the Cahn M Nays Saunders, {and it | take $ sum named in the market house bond or- dinance from $50,000 to $35,000. Hascall did not wait for the elerk to finish reading the report before moving to re- oot it Howell sald the assessors were (o meet with the county clerk on the 10th {nst., and it was expected that the _assessment would be raised suficiently to aflow the is- suance of all the bonds, and it wes now simply desired to get the work started FOR AND AGAINST THE SITE. Bruner stated that the popular clamor was for a_market house on Jefferson square, and as It was impossible to purchase ground for the erection of such a structure anywhere else, the committes had concluded that the only way to get it this year was to take the square and begin the expendi- ture of the money voted by the people. Saunders sald the matter might as well bo settled first as last. It was certain that the city couldn’t buy at this time, was simply a question whether to 5,000 and start work on ‘the square now or have nothing. if the ordinance was defeated, the council would have nothing on which to go ahead, and the market house profect would be dead for a long time to come, while If it was passed, the council could go ahead if it so desired, but the passage did not necessarily fix the site upon Jefferson squa Wheeler kicked against it, and was of the opinion that the site ought to be first agreed upon, and then the bonds could be issued afterwards, Hascall thought that in view of the ac- tion of the park commissioners it would be a long time before any money could jbe spent on Jefferson square for market house purposes, and inveighed to quite a length against that site, On recommendation of Saunders, who said that he was about to introduce an ordinance on that subject, the report was referred back to the committee, with instructions to sport on it at the same time the report on the ordinance was submitted. The commitiee on public property and buildings reported that the smoise consumer placed in the city hall was ail that was claimed for it, and on its recommendation the comptroller was instructed to place in the next appropriation ordinance the amount of 3600 as the balance due W. S. Hutchinson. The same committeo reported on the claim of Architect Beindorff, also submitting the report of City Attorney Connell on the same matter. The committeo thought the report of the city attorney unjust, and found that the -architect was entitled to the greater part of his claim, as he was not re- sponsible for the changes that had been made in the plans. It found that deduc- tions amounting to $567.65 should be made, leaving a balance due him of $3,487.64, but recommended that the matter go to the com- mittee of the whole, where it was sent. The bond of Boller Inspector Soudenberg was approved, after which the following ordinances were read a first and second time: To grade Center street from Sixth to Bighth, Cedar from Fifth to Righth, Fortieth from Grand to Fowler avenues, Forty-fiifth from Military avenue to Lake, Jackson from Thirty-fourth to Thirty-sixth; to open Mason /from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-fifth; to change the grade of Thirty- ninth from Grand to Fowler avenues; to use Jefferson square as a site for the ercction and construction of a market house; to esta- blish new fire limits; establishing new ward boundaries. The salary and new levy ordinances were passed, as was that ordering the issuance of $40,000 in sewer bonds, The council will hold a special meeting at 10 o'clock this morning to pass the ward houndary ordinance, in order that the county clerk may at once proceed with work on the tax lists. The vote by ‘which Mr. Behren's appoint- ment as _sergeant-at-arms was confirmed stood: Aye—All the democrats assisted Hascall and Bruner—10, Nay—The remain- ing eight republicans. ——— WANT T0 BE HEARD. Natlonal Wool Growers Petition the Senate Committee on Finance. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The meeting of the National Wool Growers association, called to attempt to defeat the free wool provisions of the Wilson bill, began this morning. Immediately after the meeting a commt- tee was appointed to draw up a petition ad- dressed to the finance committee of the sen- ate, asking for a hearing on the wool sched- ules of the Wilson bill. A recess was then taken. Hon. Willilam Lawrencd of Ohio, prosident of the association, presided Among the members of the association already here are ex-Senator Francis B. War- ren of Wyoming, A. E. Shepard of Austin, Tex.; Hon, J. H. McConnel of Elk Grove, Cal.; W. A. Baker, Portiand, Ore., editor of the Rural Spirits, and F. J. Hegart of Idaho, secretary of the assocfation. The following preamble and resolution was presented to Senator Voorhees of tlie senate finance committee: Whereas, The National Wool Growers as- sociation, Fepresenting an industry in which ‘are directly interested and engaged 1,000,000 people of the United States, owning and caring for 45,000,000 shecp, with a directly pvested capltal of over $£200,000,000, and an dircct investment of $300,000,000 more, is desirous of being heard In the interest of the sheep and wool industry, which, it is believed, is seriously threaténed, even to complete annihilation, by proposed legisla- tion, 1. e, the Wilson bill, so called; there- fore, be it Resolved, That the association respect- fully requésts that a time be set apart and a date given on which it may !‘n'ul“, through o committee, duly appointed, to present its cause for the consideration of the honorable committee on finance of the senate. In reply to the petition, Senator Voorhees said the committee had determined to give no verbal hearings, and it will not be possi- blo to make an exception in the case of the wool growers. He suggested that the asso- ciation submit a written statement. The members of the association will remain here for a week or more and probably try to in- fluence senators personally, being denied a formal hearing. e e— SHOT HIS WIFE. JohnSheehoy Arrested, Though Both Parties Say the Shooting Was Accldental. Yesterday afternoon John Shechey shot his wife in the left side and was arrested. The affair took place in the home of the couple, 1614 Martha street, and was at first supposed to be accidental. Sheehey was formerly employod by the Union Pacific Railway company, but for the last ten months he has been out of work. Immediately after the shooting a physi- clan was called and probed for the bullet. The doctor found that Mrs. Sheehey's left forearm had been grazed and that the bullot had entered her left side and taken a down- ward course. While the surgeon was at work Mr. Shee- hey sat by the side of his wife and com- forted her as best he could. e In speaking about the matter to a reporter ho said that he was fooling with his revol- ver and it was accidentally discharged. The suffering woman was eonsclous all the time, and substantiated her husband’s statoment, A servant girl named Annle volunteered the information that Sheehey wanted his wife to go and buy him some whisky and threatened to kill her if she did not comply ith his wishes. The girl also said that Sheehey tried to leave the house, but his wife prevented him and he shot her. This state- ment does not agree with that of Mr. and Mrs. Sheehey, who say the girl was outside crubbing the steps at the time. Chief Detective Haze thought thatsin the face of the conflicting stories he would be warranted in ordering the arrest of Sheehey and did so. Dr. Riley, who attended the case, had Mrs. Sheehey removed to St. Jo- seph’s hospitad for treatmont. Her wound is not considered dangerous. Neighbors say that the couple appeared to get along well together. They have been marrled nine years and have several chil- dren, the youngest only a few months old. Mrs. Sheehey, at the hospital last evening, reiterated her statement that there had been no trouble between hersolf and husband, and that the shot was purely accidental, Four Tralns o Duy.

Childs. IMPRESSIVE SCENES AT THE CHURCH —— Thousands of Sincers Mourners Gather 0d His Bler—KL 1d to Rest by the Side of Mis Life- Lohg Friend. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6.—The funeral services pf the late George W. Childs at St. James church were notable because of the extreme simplicity of the ceremony, the pres- ence of a host of distinguished men from all parts of the country and the evident sincer- Ity of the grief felt by the thousands who were in or about the church. The ceremonies included briet services at the house, a solemn procession on foot to the church, where public rites were held, and a touching eulogy delivered by Rt. Rev. Henry B. Potter, bishop of New York. Then came the funeral cortege to Woodlawn cemetery, where all that was mortal of the great phi- lanthropist was laid away in the marble mausoleum of the Drexel family, side by side with the dust of the late Anthony J. Drexel, whom he loved as one man seldom loves an- other. 7 Almost inseparable in lifé, it was deemed fitting that they should rest together in death, although it was not known that any request to that effect had ever been made by Mr. Childs, It was at first intended to have the funeral services private, but, ylelding to the request of many friends, Mrs, Childs finally con- sented to a public funeral, and the services were held at 1 o'clock today in St. James' Protestant Episcopal church, which is di- rectly opposite the residence of the dead philanthropist at Walnut and Twenty-second streets, and of which Mr. Childs had been an honored member and vestryman for many years. A briet service for the family and imme- diate friends was held at the house before the public service at the church At its con- clusion those present were given an oppor- tunity to take a last look at the face of one they loved and from which death had not ef- faced the generous, kindly look, one of the characteristic marks of the man of whom everybody, said: *To know him was. to love him." Then the casket was tend from the white marble mansion and actoss the street to the church, where it was placed on a bier in front of the chancel rail. The services in the church, as well as those at the residence, were conducted by Bishop Potter of New York, assisted by Bishop Whittaker of Philadelphla. Rev. Joseph H. Blanchard, rector of St. James’ church, and Dr. William B. Bodine, rector of the Church of the Savior, West Philadel- phia, which late Mr. Drexel attended. Bishop Potter of 'New York, assisted by Bishop . Whittaker of Philadelphia, Rev. Joseph H. Blanchard, rector of Jame: church, and Dr. William B. Bodine, rector of the Church of the Saviour,West Philadelphia, which latter Mr. Dfexallaftended. In the procession to the church, after the family and immediate relatives came the vestry of St. James chirch, followed by the employes of all the' departments of the Pub. lic Ledger, the officers and faculty of the Drexel institute, the woman's advisory board of the Drexel institute, the Typothotae of Philadelphia, about thirty members of the New York Press clib, and numerous delega- tions of New York ! editors and pub- lishers, who arrivéd shértly before noon on a spectal train, delegites from the George' W. Childs division No. 253 Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Engineers, the Presbyterian Minis- terial assoclation, typographical union No. 2, typographical "No. 1 ~(German press), trades league, Boston Press club,. delegates from New York Typographical union No. 6, and the International Typographical union, Pen and Pencil club, and other organizations, The remains were met at the entrance and borne up the middle aisle and laid on a bler in front of the chancel. The black cloth casket was literally covered with pillows and wreaths of roses, lilies of the valley and other flowers. Such a display of flowers was probably never seen at a funeral in Phila- delphia. If St. James church had been three times as large It could not have accommo- dated the large crowds who sought admis- sion. Every seat was occupied long before the service began, and later every available aisle was packed:. The sentences of the service were read by Bishop Scarborough of New Jersey and Rev. J. N. Blanchard, rector of the church, read the scriptural lesson. A brief adiress was made by Bishop Potter of New York. Fol- lowing this came the creed and the prayer read by Rev. Dr. Bodine, and the hymn, “In the Hour of Trial”’ Prayer and benediction by Bishop Whitaker completed the services in the chancel and the funeral cortege left the church while the hymn, “‘Hark, Hark, My Soul,” was being sung. While Rev. Dr. Bodine was reading the creed Mrs. Childs, who had borne up nobly thus far, was noticed to droop over on the shoulder of J. W. Paul, jr. Quickly kind friends were around her only to find that she had fainted. Restoratives were applied and in a few minutes restored to con- sclousness and was afterwards able to follow her husband’s remains to the tomb. The services at the cemetery were private and very brief. There was a prayer and the sket was placed In the crypt prepared for it. Mr. Paul cast upon the coffin the symbolle handful of earth and the mortal remains of George W. Childs had been con- signed to the tomb. erly borne out Hesolutions of Sympathy.

Torres, which, it is hoped, will be effectual in completely break- ing the power of this troublesome tribe. Aside from the farge force of regular troops, including the famous mounted ru- rales, themselves made up largely of ex- outlaws, the field forces will comprise many volunteers from the large haciendas of the state. A campaign to the death will be inau- gurated, and it is Intended it shall not come to the close until the Yaquis are extermi- nated. if that is the only way in which they can be subdued. If an escape is attempted { across the border into the United States to form a union of war with their cousius, the Apaches, General McCook of Denver, who is a close friend of General Torres, will co- operate with his troops in Arizona and New Mexico in bringing the Indians to surrender. The Yaquis, like the now almost extermi- nated Tomachians, have given the Mexican government no end of trouble. In their mountain strongholds they have boldly met the forces sent against them, sometimes | repulsing the troops with great slaughter.
