It is claimed that the ordinance discriminates against certain interests and that It it s reported for passage a determined attempt will be made to defeat it or compel the sub- stitution of another ordinance that will re- fund to all alike. The total amount of fhe special taxes levied by reason of the construction of the viaduct was $37,000.01. Nearly $10,000 was paid In but the bulk of it was contested, and since then the courts have decided that the city had no legal right to collect the tax, and the council passed a resolution direct ing the city attorney to draw up an ordi- nance providing for the refunding of such amounts as have been paid in. The ordi- nance was drafted by Mr. Connell and re- ffrred to the committee on finance, of which Mr. Burkley is chairman. About that time it was discovered that while nearly $10,000 in special taxes had been paid in, the ordinance only provided for refunding a little over $6,000. It did mot take dong to discover that the assessments paid by the rail- roads were not included fn the ordinance, The Burlington had paid special viaduct taxes amounting to $1,665.50, and the Union Pacific had patd $728.49 None of the ftems which aggregated these amounts were included ‘in the ordinanc The assessment which had been paid hy the Board of Edu- cation on account of the Pacific school prop- erty was also left out of the refunding ordi- nanc Mr. Connell requested the committee in whose hands the ordinance had been placed to hold it back for a while until the trouble over the repairing of the Sixteentli street viaduct was settled. Now that the Burling- ton had put an end to all negotiations in that direction by flatly refusing to pay a cent toward the proposed repairs, the ordi- nance will come up for passage unless some other move Is determined on Mr. Connell, when asked why the prop- erty mentioned had been left out of the re- funding ordinance, said that these taxes had been covered by other sdttlements, and there was nothing due either the railroad companies or the school board. It was bad enough for the city to pay them what it had to without paying them money to which they had no legal right. e MR. BRUNER'S PULL. flman Secured Favors Denied to Other People. The sequel of the recent set-to between Councilman Bruner and the Board of Pub- lic Works in regard to the constructinn of a wooden sidewalk in front of Bruner's property on Hamilton street, illustratzs one of the numerous advantages of a council- manic position. As stated in The Bee the How a Coun other day, Bruner took out a permit to build the sldewalk two months before the street was paved. His neighbors fixed up their sidewalks at that fime, knowmg that they ‘could not repair their wooden welks after the street was paved without violating the city ordinance. Mr. Bruner let it go, however, :ntil a few days ago, and then put some carpenters at work building the walk. Officer Jack- man noticed that the wooden walk was being laid ‘on a paved street, and in ac- cordance with his instructions he ordered the work stopped at once. Bruner cume down to the office of the Board of Public Works and ‘stormed for half an hour’ with- out getting any satisfaction. But it seemed that the coucilman knew what he was about, for at the present time the walk is going down, and that without any interference from the police or unyone else. In explaining his action in not arrest- ing the councilman for continuing to vio- late the ordinance the chief of police has transmitted to the Board of Public Works a copy of an order from City Attorney Con- nell, stating that Councilman Bruner had a perfect right to put down wooden walks if he wanted to, and that he should be al- lowed to finish the work without' interfer- ence. Mr. Bruner is also privileged in being al- lowed to make all his gas, water and sewer connections at the expense of tearing up the newly paved street. As soon as it was known that Humilton street was to be paved the property owners had an ordinance passed providing that all these connections should be made before the paving was completed, Every one but Bruner had this done, and the paving was finished according to con- tract. Now Bruner is fearing up the pav- ing, which was laid only last week, to make his gas and water connections, and the fact that he was able to lay wooden sidewalks without hindrance seems to have squelched the opposition so effectually that they are inclined to let him tear up the whole street it he wants t —_——— In the Federal Court., The federal grand jury made its second report at noon yesterday, prior to adjourning until Monday. Seven indictments were re- turned, only one of the indicted parties, however, being under arrest at the present time. This is Lewis Denno, who is charged with interfereing with the mails. Denno was crossing the country in company with J. M. Martin, and when they reached Chi- cago Martin wrote to a sister at Battle Creek, Mich., asking her to send him some money so that he conld get it when he reached Red Cloud, Neb. Denno knew of the letter, and when he and Martin reached Galesburg Denno deserted his companion and hurried on ahead, reaching Red Cloud two days before Martin got there. Denno called for the Martin letter and received it, after which he skipped out and was seen no more until the case was placed before the federal authorities and he was arrested. The case of the First National bank of Rapid City vs John Fitzgerald® and brother is on trial in the federal court. The suit is brought to collect a $7,000 meat bill, which it is alleged was coptracted at the time of the building of the Deadwood tension of the Burlington road M 1 The railroad company, as well as the grad- ing contractors, are mixed up in the deal, und that explains the connection of At- torney Marquette of Lincoln with the suit. The jury in the case of the Union Pacific vs Bracken returned a verdict awarding the plaintiff possession of the 820 acres of land in controversy, and $420 damages for having been kept out of its possession. The case was tried before in 1891, and the plain- tift was awarded the land and $240. It was taken to the appellate court and sent back for another trial with the above result The defendant is a rich banker in Ohlo, and as both parties have a penchant for hotly fought lawsuits the case will go to the appellate court again. The case is based on the sale of the property for taxes and the issuance of a tax deed before the gov- ernment patent to the land was granted. e To Pick Her Own Coftin. A middle-aged woman, glving her name as Mrs. Jones, went Into M. O. Maul's under- taking rooms yesterday and asked to look at some coffins. 'There was nothing unusual In the request, and several of the fine caskets were placed on exhibition. The woman said that she was going lo die next week and wanted to have everything ready. Policeman Monroe happened in about this time and saw that the woman was crazy. He took her to the city jail, where she was placed in charge of the matron. Mrs. Jones says she lives in the Bluffs and that her husband is employed in the smelting works. B DIED, Notice of five lines o cents 1oas under this head, ffty ach additional ine, ten cents. MARSH J.

By far the most attractive, artistic and satisfactory souvenir book of Omaha yet published is the neat, little volume recently Issued by the bureau of information of the Commercial club. It fs a convenfent vol ume of about seventy pages, handsomely illustrated with beautiful halt of business blocks, public buildings, parks and bird's eye views of the eity. The word “‘Omabha’ artistically embossed on the front cover rves as the introduction and title to this practical and yet superbly gotten up book. The souvenir is ‘intended for general ol culation throughout the country and espe- clally in the east, but it is in reality a book worthy of a place in every Omaha library. The gentlemen who did the work necessary inpublishing this little volume have modestly refrained from taking any eredit whatever to themselve as th I8 not the name of a single individual belong ing to the information bureau to be found in this souvenir. It is but just, therefore, to state in this connection that the labor | necessarily involved in the fssuing of thi book was performed by the following mem- bers of the Commercial club: Mr. G. H Payne, Mr. M. G. Perkins, manager of the American Press association, Mr. J. M. Gil lan, secretary of the Board of Education Mr. W. H. Alexander, late collector ¢ customs, Mr. T. W. Blackburn and W. A L. Gibbon. The greater part of the writing was done by Mr. Gillan, whose many years experience ~ in newspaper work and familiarity with the business infer ests and public institutions of Oni prove to be very valuable acquisitions. There are no advertisements in the hook excepting those of the railroad companies, These were secured through the efforts of Mr. Payne. The make-up and arrungement of the book, procuring of the cuts and proof reading were left almost entirely to the good judgment of Mr. Perkins, while much assistance and many valuable suggestions were supplied Mr. Alexander, Mr. Black- burn and Mr. Gibbon. This is a volume which the citizens of Omaha will take vleasure in sending to their friends all over the country. The matter contained is concise, practical and graceful in style. The illustrations are the best that could be obtained, and, while they do mot flatter Omaha, they will certainly attract attention and arouse an interc-t in the minds of people who have never visited this city. After a short introduétion there follows an article on an ‘“Agricultural Empire,” treating, of course, upon the resou that form Omaha's background and support. It is full of meat, right to the point and con- vincingly put. Following this, the book speaks of the eity's excellent transportation acilities, “Omaha as a Jobbing Center.” ‘Our Varied Manufacturing Industrics” and of the “Meat-Producing Interests” of the city.

Will Always Wish He Had Not Made His Objections So Emphatic. At 10 o'clock last night a hurry call was received at police headquarters for the patrol wagon, the message stating a man was bleed- ing to death at the St. Paul depot. Officer Fisk was the first one there, and the sight that greeted his eyes was sickening. In the door of Petersen's saloon, Fifteenth and Webster streets, was a man lying on his face, the blood gushing from a cut in his hand and from his mouth. The man was Fred Carlsen. Evidence obtained as to the cause of his condition showed he was greatly to blame, and he was sent to the station charged with assault. A few minutes before 10 o'clock Carlsen went into the saloon and ordered a glass of beer. He was in the act of drinking it when a colored man, Louis Spady, went in. As soon as Carlsen saw him he said to the bartender, “Do you allow niggers in your place?” The barkeeper replied he made no distinction as long as they behaved them- selves. Carlsen turned around and saw Spady talking to a friend, and taking the glass from which he had been drinking hurled it at Spgdy. The latter dodged and escaped the glass, but he went far Carlsen. He first struck him in the mouth with & club and followed this up with an attack with a knife. Carlsen threw up his hand to ward off the knife blow and received it be- tween the index finger and the next. An ugly wound was caused, the artery being cut, and Carlsen nearly bled to death. When taken to the station he was so weak from loss of blood that he could scarcely give his name. Spady, who did_the cutting, escaped. fle is a plasterer, and is well known in the city. Carlsen is a stranger in the city, and lives at Thirteenth and Capitol avenue. - — WANT THE LINE EXTENDED. West Siders Ask that Leavenworth Stre Cars Run to Forty-Eighth Street.
