THE OMAHA DAILY WE WEDN U A AN i CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Dirorderly Funeral Held Overa Letter from Fardee & Co, REFERRED TO THE JOINT COMMITTEE Report of Committee on Refixing of Ward and Precinet Boundaries Is Adopted —Steps Taken Toward Repair of a Number of Streets. In the municipal cemetery, commonly known as the joint electric light committee, another grave was filled at the regular meet- ing of the city council last evening. Mess Pardee & presented a communication relative to their bidding for electric lighting, which was accepted by the council some time ago, and the matter was respectfully in- terred in that sepulcheral fleld where all matters obnoxious to Mr. Wiley's interests are quietly lald to rest. The communication presented by Pardee & Co. is as follows: Omaha, June 'o the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Omaha: Gentlemen—On February 13, 181, we presented to your honorable body @ bid for lighting ° the treets of the city of Omaha In accordance with an advertisement published in the offictal paper ed January 31, 1804, call- Ing for sea bids ‘for a 1 of ' three , commencing March 1, 1 7th of February your committee lectric lights reported, recom- the contract wirded to fition that within three days nd N the sum of $25,000 port was duly adopted, and within e days we flled with the city clerk our signed Pardee & Co., principal, and D, Mercer, surety The bond was in due and proper form and was in accordance with the terms upon which the award was made to us. This bond was referred to the commi on Judiciary, telegraph and telephone poles and eleotric lights and subways, One of the conditions of our bid an bond was that a proper franchise for commercial as well ag public lighting should be granted to us. Our bid and bond have ined unacted upon until the present for the reason that no “proper franchise” had been returned. At the meeting of your honoraole body on June 44 the general fran- chise ordinance, known as the Hascall ordinance, was duly pagged, and we observe in the official paper of last evening that yor has aflixed his signature to the linance and that it is now a law. passage of this ordinance removes all occasion for delay and all obstruction 1o the completion of the contract already agreed upon and approved by the city council You will therefore please take notice that we lling and have at all times en will- and tract was awarded be under its terms, therefol that the cit be instructed to draft the ne contract and that the city attor ther requested to report a proper contra at the next meeing of the council to the end that we may as speedily as possible be enabled to entér upon the work of con- struction of our plant. Immediately after the mayor shall executed the ne between ourselves and the city we shall file the bond required by the general fran- chise ordinance and take advantage of the facilities afforded by the said franchise ordinance to us for entering upon the busi- ness of furnishing commercial lights anc electric street lighting. ing to and council ry contract Hascall on his feet before the clerk had finished reading to declare that It was ridiculous to assert that the company had ever given a bond. It had never filed articles of incorporation or let the council know who It was. It had no business status and the council had no right to consider any- thing it might say. Hascall suggested that the matter be referred to the joint commit- tee, but Bdwards wanted it disposed of in committee of the whole. Burkley offered an amendment referring it to the committee on gas and eléctric lights, with the remark that everything that had come before the council for the past three months had been turned over to the joint committee, and he vag getting tired of such prockedings. Wheeler rose in indignation to refute the assertion that Pardee & Co. ever given a bond that was a bond, and joined with Hascall in demanding a reference to the Joint committees After some further debate the communication was so referred. STREET AND SIDEWALK REPAIRS. The mayor communicated his approval of the plans for repairing the Sixteenth street viaduct, the contract and bond of M. J. Huse for the construction of watering troughs, and the ordinance providing for the opening and extending of Fourth street ad- acent to the right of way of the Omaha & outhwe:tern Railroad company. The resolution directing the repair of Six- teenth street from Howard street to the viaduct was vetoed on the ground that it was not advisable to expend money from the general fund for this purpose, and the ex- pense ought to be assessed against the abut- ting property. The mayor also objected to the fact that the resolution specified the me- terial to be used as wooden block, which would have to be purchased at a considerable expense. The veto was sustained, A resolution ordering the Board of Public Works to repair the wooden sidewalk on Dodge street, between (Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh streets, was vetoed on the ground that the council should not violate its own crdinances. Not sustained. The appointment of F. M. Richardson, Stringer and C. E. Willlamson as appraisers on the grading of Thirty-fifth street from Farnam to Dodge street was approved. Sim- flar action was taken on the appointment of John F. Flack, H. W. Yates and George F. Pritchett as appraisers on the opening of Fourth street. On the recommendation of the city attor- ney, George Simpson was allowed $125 for injuries while holding a nozzle under the direction of the chief of tne fire department at the Boston store fire. The resolution of the Board of Public Works ordering the cancellation of the side- walk contract of M. J. Huse was referred, together with a communication from Mr. Huse, stating that he had been unable to procure lumber of the thickness demanded by the sidewalk inspector. The contract and bond of Hugh Murphy for paving the intersection of Twelfth and Izard streets was approved. Elsasser presented a resolution Instructing the comptroller to advertise for bids for public lighting on a three years' contract at a price not to exceed $112 per light. Has- call wanted this referred to the joint com- mittee, but an amendment to refer to the committee of the whole w: carried. El- sasser moved that the council go into com- mittee of the whole to consider the resolu- tion, but this motion was tabled by the Wiley councilmen without ceremony, carry- ing the resolution with it. A resolution directing the Board of Publie Works to repair Sixteenth street from How- ard street to the viaduct with such material Las It thought advisable was carried. REDISTRICTING COMPLETED, The favorable report of the judiclary com- mitte on the ordinance providing for redistricting the voting precincts of the city called up Thomas, who wanted the ordinance modified in 50 far as it related _to the Seventh ward, claiming that the ward ‘wag entitled to more precinets. In this he was opposed by his colleague, Mr. Hawell, who clalmed that the report was perfectly satisfactory to his comstituents. After a fedious discussion the amendment of Thomas was rejected and the original report was adopted. On recommendation of the committee on Judiciary the ordinance opening a boule- yard on Ninth street to Riverview park was_rejected on the ground that it would fnvolve a heavy expense and that the south- east boulevard, as now contemplated, fully answered the purpose. The favorable report of on an ordinance amending the garbage ordinance was adopted. The amendments make the regulations more stringent, and rovide that the fact that a man s found auling a load of garbage shall be pre- sumptive evidence that he Is regularly en guged in that business. The following ordinances were passel Levying speclal tax for widening Seven Reenth street south of Castellar; amending ordinance . governing force in comptroller's office; ordering American ‘Water Works company not to place certain hydrantg heretofore ordered; providing for Meensin® hack drivers and providing regula tiohs; amending ordinance defining boun- daries of voting precincts; amending hack ordinance; declaring necessity of grading Dodge street from Thirty-sixth to Thirty elghth street: providing for the grading of the committee Seventeenth street from Vinton street, Nineteenth street from Center to Dorcas street, Eighteenth street from Cen- ter to Williams street, and the first alley north of Dorcas street (from Eighteenth to Nineteenth street The council adjou noon at 4 o'clock. —————e Rheumatism racks tno system like a thum w.

A distressing accident which resulted in the mortal Injury of a little 6-year-old son of Mr. George McCoy occurred about 300 yards west of Oak Chatham at 9 o'clock yes- terday morning. The local train on the Belt Line had just passed Oak Chatham, and the little fellow evidently thinking that all danger had passed started to lead a cow across the track. At that instant the Missouri Pacific flyer dashed down upon him, striking him with full force before he realized his danger. He was struck in the head and thrown under the wheels, which passed over hoth legs, crush- ing them to a pulp. Dr. McGraw of Auburn was on the train and he attended the in- jured lad, doing everything possible to alleviate his sufferings. He gave it as his opinion, however, that the boy's injuries were of g0 serious a nature that his death was but the question of a few hours. George McCoy, father of the injured boy, resides at the corner of Twenty-fith and Ames avenue, and is a conductdr on the street railway. Shortly affer midnight boy's suffering. death ended the Fell from a Window. Harrison Buckner, colored, fell from the second story of a building at Sixteenth and Capitol avenue yesterday and sustained severe internal injuries.

WILL NOT AFH"CT OMAH! American Railway Union Fight Against Pullman Will Not Be Noticed Here, NO OPPORTUNITY IS AFFORDED Available for Fighting Pur- Ity Expected—Mil- ter Over Only One Li poses and No Dif waukee Road in Hot W A Teacher's Ticket. There is little or no excitement over the boycott ordered by the American Rallway union against Sir George Pullman and “his | palace cars in local labor circles. In point of fact it is conceded by members of the American Rallway unfon that the fight, to be successful, must be fought at large terminal points like Chicago, St. Louis and on the Great Northern system. George Miller, president of the local union 0. 12, which has a membership of about 376 men, largely made up of clerks from the Union Pacific headquarters, said yesterday that In the yards only on Pullman was handled dafly by the American Raflway unfon, that of the Rock Island. The Unfon Pacific sleeper is attached to the Northwestern train at Council Bluffs and goes through with two Wagner sleepers to Ogden, “The Burlington, while it runs Pullmans, is hardly to considered as a factor in the fight in view of its last strike, which resulted in a serfous blow to unfons. The Milwaukee owns its sleepers and the North- western and Elkhorn run Wagners, It therefore leaves practically only one rallroad, the Rock Island, in this territory to seriously consider in relation to the boycott. But there s little fear that anything will be done in connection with that road, the de- termination of the men, leaders of the Amer- fean Railway union, being to cripple the business of the roads in the big centers of population. 1 have received no officfal in- formation that the boycott has been declared in force and it would be useless to speculate until the American Railway unfon shows its hand.” S. B. Hebberling, grand chief of the Ameri- can Railway union on the Union Pacific tem, was in Omaha yesterday en route to his home in Cheyenne. Speaking of the boycott he stated emphatically that it had been or- dered five days ago and that it would be war to the knife. “We have no desire,” said he, “to subject roads to damage suits on the part of Puilman for their inability to handle Pullman cars. So as a pro- prietary interest Is concerned which the railroads may have In Pullman contracts, it is largely in your eyo, although some of the passenger be who immediately filed a complaint with the secretary, wha! later on offered the ticket for redemptionoto the Milwaukee, the latter road paylng $13.78 for a ticket which is al- leged to have-been sold for $8. Secretary Davidson at omee sent out notices for a hear- ing at 2 o'closk, at which time the Mil- waukee showed its hand. The Milwaukee was found gullty of cutting the rate and was fined $25. ¥l Pacific Bxtends the Return Limit. , June %.—General Passen- ger Agent Heard of the Missourl Pacific rays that his-road will tomorrow officlally announce that' the return portions of tick- 0. for the teachers' meeting at As- >arlc and the Christlan Endeavor at and_ will! be honored any day prior eptember 1. Other passenger agents in this city have wired their roads for in- structions.” The Western Passenger asso- clation limited the return of these tickets to three specific dates. Mr. Heard says that his road was forced to take this action on account of the secret competition of other lines, who are selling tickets private contract, His company has noti- fled Chalrman Caldwell of the Western Passenger association.

Rice of Creighton, Neb., is at the at the earlier contracts made with Pullman were upon a dlvision of net profits. Roads that do not own their slecping cars outright charge Pullman a wheelage —rental, George pocketing the proceeds. It is these cars that the American Railway union ex- pects to tie up, but only in the big cities which supply the railroads of the west with sleeping car accommodations.” General Manager Holdrege of the Burling- ton, speaking of the matter, said that while the Burlington operated Pullmans he felt very safe in the good sense of their employes In resisting specious arguments that might be advanced by delegates of the American Railway union. “Our employes, I believe, are perfectly content to handle all the Pull- mans we give them and the rumor of a boy- cott disturbs me very little, I assure you." MILAGE RATE ON FOREIGN CARS, Western Trunk Line Assoclation Uniform Rate. CHICAGO, June 26.—The executive com- mittee meeting of the Western Trunk Line assoclation was held here today, there being a full attendance of the presidents and vice prestdents of the different roads. The main question under consideration was a proposed chamge in the mileage charges of special cars. It was then agreed that, beginning August 1, the mileage on classes of freight cars Interchanged between railroad com- panies, including private cars, but excepting refrigerator cars, should be % cent per mile. This 13 a reduction of about 3 cent per mile. Rates vary at present, but it was de- cided to imake the rate uniform and fix it at 3% cent per mile. One-way passenger rates westbound from Chicago were in imminent peril. The ex- tension of time to September 1 of the return tickets for the national educational meeting at Asbury Park threatens to cut them right in two for the next two monhs. Several roads have adopted the policy of preventing demoralization in general business through the manipulation by the brokers of the re- turn portion of excursion tickets by making similar reduction in one-way rates in all cases where the -restrictions thrown about the return portion is not such as to prevent scalpers handling them. It was sup- posed that such restrictions had been adopted in this case, but the Soo and the Wisconsin Central on the north and the Missouri, Kan- sas & Texas and the Santa Fe in the south- west, disregarding these restrictions and making the tickets good for return up till September 1, have spoiled the plans of the assoclated roads. It now appears as if a re- duction of the one-way rate would be the only way to keep the market here from being stocked with the return portions of theso tickets. This is very much regretted by everybody, because the financial condition of all the roads is such as to make the con- servation of revenues exceedingly desirable, All hope of saving one-way rates has not yet been abandoned and strenuous efforts are being made to induce the roads to withdraw their announcements as to the extension of return limitations, but the prospects of sucs cess are by no means flatetring. Tomorrow’s meeting may find some other way out of the difficulty, but the,only one talked of today among railroad officials is a reduction of onc-way rates westbound for the entire period the return portions of the excursion tickets are effective. Adopts a TROUBLE OVER TEACHERS. Milwaukee Tichet, at Cut Rates, Falls Into the my's Hands, There has been more dificulty over securing eastbound teachers by the various transmissouri lines this year than ever b fore in the history of western raflroading It would be hard to ascertain just which one of the lines first cut the rates for school teachers enroute east, but It is a fact that quite a number of lines have been detected in_demoralizing rates and they have been compelled to walk right up to the captain’s office and settle. The Burlington has had its little trouble in Denver. The Milwaukee carried away, like the prince in_the fairy story, several blushing maldens from the ogre that inhabited the reglon In and about Lincoln, and while no direct charge was made against the Mil- waukeo and its ally, the Union Pacific, they were told to go and'live in peace, else some- thing would “drop.” And that something “dropped” yesterday, when the North- western flled a formal complaint with the local passenger association, of which C.

KID BURKE BACKED BY OMAHA MEN Detectives After Two Years Work Clal Have Found the Men Who L'l Directed the Robbery. 1 Shortly. ned and -Arrosts Promis From a letter received by Serg Monday from William A. Pinkerton, chief of the famous detective agency bearing his name, it seems quite likely that within a few days all the parties implicated in the well diamond robbery will 1s promised nt Ormsby be behind the bars and Omaha a sensation of no small magnitude, Ever since the arrest of “Kid" Burke, his trial and sentence to imprisonment to seven- teen years at Fort Madison, la., detectives have been working upon a clew which was discovered In Colorado without success, but a few days ago one of the members of the Pinkerton agency received a partial confes slon from one of the gang which gave the officers something tangible to work upon and they have about run their game to the end of one of the longest chases ever made after a gang of thieves. The suspected parties are alleged to be in Omaha and they are under continual sur- veillance, so that If they attempt to escape arrests will follow immediately, every move they have made since the robbery has become known to the police. When Pinker- ton took up this cese he was ably assisted by Sergeant Ormsby, to whom he has written a warm letter of thanks for past services. Pinkerton is backed by the Natlonal Jewelers Protective assoclation to run down this gang and he has $100,000 at his disposal if neces- sary to expend in capturing the thieves. The official organ of the jewelers association pub- lishes the following in this week's issue: “The Pinkerton detective agency expects shortly give a complete expose of the facts surrounding the Pollock robbery. It will be remembered that Mr. Pollock of the firm of W. L. Pollock & Co., New York, was assaulted and robhed of a wallet containing 000 worth of diamonds on a train in the of 1892 The Jewelers' Protective association through the Pinkerton agency worked hard to secure the capture of the thief, but was baflled for many weeks. The detectives eventually struck a_clew and by judicious strategy secured the arrest of Shercliffe, alias McCoy, alias Kid Burke. No trace of the diamonds could then be found, nor would Shercliffe peach on his pals. It has recently been unearthed that a party In Omaha was interested in the rob- bery, actually planned the theft and even- tually purchased the diamonds for §6,000. The detectives have this man under sur- veillance and a web is slowly but surely being woven about him which will ultimately place him behind the prison bars. The case against him, the detectives allege, is ripe an1 his arrest is but a question of a few days or weeks, Shercliffe is known as a dangerous crook, but the man who gave him points bow to work the Pollock robbery has been considered above reproach. His ar- rest will create a sensation in the irade.” A Bee reporter had a conversation with a Yprominent detective who was in the city a few days ago working on the case and the officer asserted that it was his positive be- lief that the robbery of Pollock occurred on the spur of the moment and that Shercliffe was not brought here and harbored from the police for that purpose, but for the pur- pose of attempting one of the most daring bank rosberies that ever took place in the western country. Pinkerton men who are now in the city say that the whole mystery and all the facts concerning the robbery wiil s00n be made public and that the details will make very sensational reading. B e M. 0.
