ELECTRIC LIGHT CASE IN THE COURTS f How the Hinminating Was by Another Concern Court Notes, Henry T. Clarke Tells tho Tale Omaha Swallowe ~Oth Comp behalf of the Illuminating defend- Henr Oscar Mar- New Light Tn his own behalf and in stockholders of the Omaha company, with the exception of the ants who happen to be stockholders, T. Clarke has brought suit against Oleson, Ralph W. Breckenridge tin, J. 8. Cumins, R. V. Montague, t Omaha Thomson-Houston Electric company and the Northwestern Blectric Light and Power company. The plaintiff alleges that he Is the owner of sixty shares of the stock of the Omaha Iluminating com- pany and that th of the value of $100 each. After making this statement the plaintiff dives down into the case nd alleges th Oleson, Breckenrid Marti Cuming and Montagie claim to be director and officers of the company However, he alleges that their claims are wrongful ‘and untrue, and that as such officers and di- rectors they are without authority to act in_the premises, Going into ancient history, recite the fact that in the month of June, 1882, certain persons, residents of the ecity of Omaha, filed articles in the office of the clerk of this county incorporating the Northwestern Electric Light and Power con pany, for the purpose of manufacturing and smitting electricity. In nber of that year the plaintiff avers the city councll, by the passage of an ordinance, granted the company a perpetual franchise t val Things moved along until when the company purchaged large of material d apparatus for o streets of the city, but finding » to go on with the work a ne rompany was organized nd the business leascd to the New Omaha Thomson-Houston company for a term of five years, the rental to bo at the rate of §150 per month, payable advance, Further reciting the condition leading up to his pr nt grievanc the plaintilf says that prior to March 1, 1890, the Omahia Thomson-Houston company was nized with S. L. Wiley as president, notwithstanding the fact that Wiley was the president of the Omaka Illuminating com- pany. At that time the Thomson-Houstc company represented to the Omaha Ilumina ting company that it would <upply the latter | company with power to produce light, and room for its machinery for five years at a rental price of $400 per month. In accord- ance with this plan the Omaha Hluminating company placed its machinery and com- menced to use power to operate Its plant, but it s claimed that the New Omaha Thomson-Houston company played horse with the Clarke concern from the start. It fs alleged that had the agreement been honestly carried out and the plant operated fairly it would have been of great profit to the Omaha Illuminating company, but that the fact is, that the New Omaha Thomson- Houston company took advantage of the other company, and by reason of lhe that Wiley was president and manager of cach company he was able and did fraudu- lently scheme and connive in behalf of the Thomson-Houston company and against the s of the Omaha Illuminating com- Wiley kept all accounts and col- all moneys, and it is alleged that he the Omaha Tlluminating company the double cros eve turn. It is further aileged that the Omaha Illuminating company had employed Frank Warren to manage its plant, but that Wiley hired Warren away from them and put him to worl for the New Thomson-Houston co pany to assist in wrecking the Or Iluminating company. It is charged Warren held some of the stock in the Omaha Tluminating company, but that Wiley ! sccretly bought ft. and concealed the sale from the petitioner and subsequently had the stock transferred to himself. It s alleged that the sale and transfer were with- out any consideration whatever. The plaintiff alleges that by reason of the evil intentions of Wiley and th» opportunities afforded him for carrying his plans into exccution the Omaha Illuminating company has been defrauded out of $1,250 per month from M ., 1890, It is asserted that the New Om -Houston company took Dpossession of $6,000 worth of wires, § worth of poles, and by use of machinery longing to the Tlluminating company anc fair methods pursued In cperating the secured an advantage of over $8,000, making a total Indebtedness on the part of the Thomson-Houston company to the Hluminat- ing company of over $20,000. It is further charged that a pretended meeting of the directors of the Omaln Illuminating company was held August 17, 1892, but that no notice of said meeting was ever given the plaintiff, and the business then transacted was wholly against the in- terests of the company and should be de- clared by the court to be null and vold. It is charged that Breckinridge and Cumins were never bona fide stockholders in the company, but their pretensions in that dircction are a sham. It is stated in- cldentally that Cumins s a resident of Chi- cago and that he is the attorney for the Chicago branch of the Thomson-Houston company. After presenting all these allegations the Plaintift prays that the proceedings of past meetings be declared null and void, and that the directors be enjoined from acting further in that capacity. It is also asked that Wiley, Breckinridge, Cumins and Montague be recuired to surrender the stock of the compny into court and give a full account- fng oi the shares are the plaintiff of aifal The Mutual Investment company has se- cured a restraining order preventing the sale of some lots in Orchard Hill, which were levied upon by virtue of an execution Issued on a judgment in the suit wherein J.

Reasons Why the Board Will Not Insure School Bullding The action of the Board of Education Mon- day evening, in declding to take out no more insurance policies on school buildings, with the exception of the High school and the supply house, has been more or less under consideration for the past th Ivery time the amount that was being paid out by the board as premium insurance was brought up there has be more or less talk of the advisability of turn- ing the premiums into an Insurance fund, which would in a few years be sufficient to cover any loss by fire which the board would be likely to sustain. The sentiment of the members s practically unanimous in favor of the proposition. Knodell and Burgess od against the resolution because belleved that it should properly lay over for one meeting. The plan is in use in a number of other large cities and has been found so far to be practical. Chicago adopted the scheme some time ago and Kan- sas City has been accumulating an ins. rance fund for the past two years. In connection with this matter it is inter- esting to know what the Omaha board has paid out for insurance during pre Since the organization of the scho trict in 1872 the board has paid out in premiums. 1If the been put out at interest the pre at 5 per cent would now amount to $49,24: During all this period the total los fire and lightning have culy amounted $11 The members argue that during the past twenty years the danger of loss was con paratively much greater than it will be dur- ing the twenty years to come. During the former period many of the school buildings were cheap frame structures which were heated by stoves and were much more likely to be damaged by fire. Now ncarly ail the buildings are of brick, with slate ro They are all at some distance from o structures, are heated with steam or air and are practically fire proof. The question of the creation of an insur- ance fund was recommended by President Powell In his last report, and hie cxpressed himself as decidedly in favor of such a prop sition.

Kain Acensed of Using Tom Murray's Nume Frandulently. J. T. Kain, residing at Seventeenth and Harney streets, was arrested yesterday by Detectives Savage and Dempsey on the charge of forgery. The complaint was sworn out by Alorris Rainey, a grocer at 2406 Rees street. Mr. Ralney says that Kain had been in the habit of contracting a small bill often and coming in when he got his wages to pay it. He sa that last Friday Kain came to his stor and, as he owed him a small amount, told him' he had a check and would pay the bill it he could get it cashed. The check was for §11.25 and the amount of the bill was small. Rainey looked at the check and saw the name, Thomas Murray, on the bottom, and, as he knew Kain, he told him to endorse the check and he would cash it for him and deduct the bill. The change was given and Kain left. Yesterday the check was presented at the Merchants National bank, upon which it was drawn for payment, by Mr. Rainey. Th teller at once saw the signature was not that of Mr. Murray and threw the check out Mr. Murray was notifled and said he hud no knowledge of the making of the check at the signature was not his. A warr was then sworn out for the arrest of Kain and he was found in one of Mr. Murray buildings, where he had been living. Murray sald he knew Kain and that the latter had done u little work for him on vari- ous oceasions. Kain was asked about the o acknowledged that it was he who pa; check, but he said he supposed it was good, inasmuch as he saw Mr. Murray make it and sign his name to it and hand it to him In payment for some work he had done. Kain is & married man, a good looking fellow, and seemed to tell a stralght story.

Members of City Councit Not Ready for Business Last Night. Although nearly all the junketers have returned from their trip to the occident, on'y nine members answered to the roll call at the council meeting last night. On motion of Councilman Burkley a call of the council was ordered to secure a quorum. The record showed that Councilmen Ed- Elsasser, Hascail, Parker, Saunders and Whesler had been granted leave of ab- sence, and that Back, Bechel and Specht were absent without leave. It was stated that Bechel was probably in Denver, and that Back was out in the country. Specht known to be in attenda at the sil- ver wedding of Chairman Winsy of the Board of Public Works, at Twenty-sixth and Blondo, and thither the sergeant-at-arms was dispatched with instructions to imme- diately bring the gentleman from the Sixth before the bar of the council, Pending the return of the sergea with his prisoner, Mr. Holmes was called to the chair and a short business session of the “Gluckerson club” was held. This or- ganization is one of the results of the Cali- fornia junket, and its object is ostensibly to promote the interests of the married men of Omaha. Its work last evening was trans- acted behind closed doors and will not be made public. The sergeant-at-arms returned at 9:30 and reported that he was unable to find any of the absentees. Under the rules requiring an adjourn- ment from day to day in the absence of a quorum the council "adjourned until this evening. e gt TOUCH OF HIGH LIFE.
