Works — Corby Street Paving Creates Warm Debate, The mercury stood at 90 in the council chamber last (g and the members fumed and perspired while they waded through a large accumulation of routine busi- ness. Hascall had forgotten all his promie to report on the mayor's appoint- ment of a clty electriclan and the matter was not mentioned. The mayor's appointment of R. W. Gib- son to succeed W. H. Gates as appralser on the grading of Thirty-fifth avenue, from halt Howard to Leavenworth street, was confirmed. A batch of estimates, together with con- tracts for minor improvements from the Board of Public Works, were read 1 ap- oroved. A copy of the resolution pasied at the last meeting of the Board of Fire and Po- lice Commissioners relative to the failure of tho water works company to fulfill its con- tract was referred to the finance committee and the city attorney. John Brandt wanted payment plate glass window in his block at Tenth and Howard streets, which, he clamed, was broken by a police cfficer. He was referred to_the police commi-sioners The bond of Miss Elzabeth Poppleton.as a member of the library board was approved. The bills of the county for boarding city prisoners during April, May and June were referred to the finance committee and the comptroller. Specht's resolution ordering an item of $2,250.08 to be paid the Barber Asphalt com pany on its old account was introduced and passed for the third time. This is the item that has been twice vetoed by the mayor. The last time only one vote was lacking to pass it over his veto. Cahn's resolution ame regulations in regard to the stands for ex- press wagons was passed. The only changes aro that vehicles of this description are pro- hibited from standing in front of the Fren- zer, Crelghton and Karbach blocks on Fif- teenth street. A resolution to have a board fence con- structed along the bluff on Ohio street, near the Belt line, was referred to the Board of Public Works. This fs the bluff from which John Baker, a rag picker, fell and was killed Monday night. The Board of Health was instructed to take steps to atop the dumping of garbage on the street leading to Courtland beach. The resolution introduced by Holmes at the last mecting ral ing the wages of city laborers to 17% cents per hour was recom- mended for adoption by the committee on fudicfary. Saunders raised the question that tho right to regulate wages in this depart- ment was vested exclusively in the Board of Public Works. The resolution passed with come opposition. A resclution by Saunders providing for the appointment of a night watchman fn North Omaha at a salary of $30 per month was re- terred The report of the committee on the ordi- nance providing for the paving of Corby street between Sherman avenue and Twen- tieth street caused the only pyrstechaies of tho session. The comm ttee represented that the full thirty days had not been given property owners in which to designate ma- terfal, and, as no mafority had declared in favor of any material, it recommended that another thirty day: be allowed. Saunders and Wheeler claimed that the full thirty days had been allowed and demanded that the clerk produce the records. This was de- nied by the chair, who also refused to allow the request for information to be a part of the record. The debate in this connection was dectdedly spirited, and the report of the . committeo was adopted in spite of the pro- tests of the dissenter, President Howell appointed J. H. Millard, W. S. Poppleton and Andrew Rosewater as members of the joint committee contem- plated by the resolution regarding the con- solidation of the city and county govern- monts which was passed at the previous meeting. eve about for a ding the present = ‘When Traveling.

R MINER'S BAD MISTAKE. Took a Detective for a Crook and Drew a Term in Jail. Thirty days ago Harry Miner, alias F. A. Jennings, was released from’ the Cclorado penitentiary, located at Canon City, where for five years he had been in the employ of the state, digging ditches and helping to quarry rock from the mountains, He came to Omaha Monday and now he has a thirty- day job with the city, having been enlisted In the weed cutting gang. He has been con- victed cf being a vagrant, though the fact is that he tried to “con’ a detective and got fooled. Monday Detective John Savage was down in the vicinity of the City hotel, where he had a hen on, 50 to speak.

Al Frazier bought some goods at a dru at Bighteenth and Vinton streets y terday, and now he is in jail. Frazier visited the store at an carly heur, purchas:d a few cents' worth of goods and tendered a check for $6.20. The ‘merchant cashed the paper, giving Frazier the difference be- tween the amount of the purchase and the face of the check. Soon after this it was discovered that the ‘check was a forger. and the matter was reported to the police, who captured Frazier at noon, but not until after he had made a vigorous resist- ance. It is thought that he is the man who flooded the city with forged checks a few weeks ago. ere of Jeneral sterday. single has made ndition how- Prof. Frank Broglin, an artist, who labors under the deluded idea that he can make hair grow upon heads that are bald, got on a tear Mor.day night and undertook the job of whip- ping the entire male portion of the city, landing in Jfail.

While the condition romewhat embarrased by reason of the strike and the sudden drop in business on account of the long blockade on the Southern Pacific and Montana Union systems, the of- ficials at headquarters state that the pay car could have been sent out on time in a pinch, although it would have cramped them con- siderably to have raised $500,000, which rep- resents the pay rolls for June, during the continuance of the strik: and they decided to wait a few days in the hope that better busi- ness would assist materially in bridging over the crist Within th ployes on the Union the Kansas d.vi fon cheeks on Monday. the Nebraska division yesterday the Colorado division was paid off, today the Idaho division employes will be compensated for work done and the Wy- oming division Thursday. Taking the report earnings and nses, there year of $2,695,000, the 145,416, the operating expenses and fixed charges amounting to $41,041, Taking the amount of operating expenses and fixed charges as a b of compilation, it will be found that the Union Pacifl to earn $112,443 per day to meet its legitimate cbli- gations. These figures of course are based upon 8,167 miles of road, but will mot be nearly so large when the 1804 report is printed, for the reason that the Unlon Pa- cific at the present time operates less than two-thirds cf that miteage With the stagnation in both freight and passenger business and as one of the legiti- mate results of the strike the prospects for a larger deficit this year than last are ex- ceedingly bright. This is the condition of affairs that con- fronts the receivers and they are In a quan- dery to known just how to proceed to make ends mect. Just where to retrench is the question, and it requires no end of figuring to solve the problem of running a road on $1,000,000 where but a few years ago $2,000,- 900 was available. The shops at all the terminal points n the system with the exception of Omaha and Denver are closed and are liable to remain closed for an indefinite period, for there is not enough repair work even to keep half forces running. In Cheyenne the employes are feeling the_position keenly, and the bus In Wyoming: are now realizing tl et of the strike quite as much as the men who went out. According to the Cheyenne pers a committee of the business me heen appointed and a petition Is In elr lation to be sent to General Manager Dick- Inson of the Union Pacific in reference to the condition of the shops in that c Dis- cussing the matter the Sun of that place says: “In this connection there should be a movement made by the local A. R. U. in order to have the strike called off. While it is true that the men here owe some loy- alty to President Debs, they also nre under many obligations to the city in which they live. If the matter was presented to Debs in the right light he would, no doubt, act as he has done in California, and that is allow the local unions to determine for themselves. The petition now in_circuls tion by the business men will have no effect in Omaha if there are 200 men who are still on a strike In-this city. If the men here will say that they are rcady to go to work if work is given them and that all strike relations have been abandoned then the petition can go to the headquarters and be there respected. The men who are now on a strike certainly can see this point and it is respectfully but earnestly called to their attention in the hope that they may move in a direction which shall ut them in line with the business men and the business fnterests of the entire city.” But at headquarters the feeling Is pretty general that all matters in relation to the strike and the re-employment of men who went out fn sympathy should be referred to Judge Riner, whose fairness and under- standing of the situation are perfectly well known. This Is the situation throughout the en- tire western portion of the system. of the company is next three days all the em ific will be paid off, having recelved their Monday the men on recelved thelr wage, of Union Pacific was a deficit earnings being ex Cheap Trips Abroad. Harry Moores, steamship agent for a num- ber of lines, said yesterday that he had never sold so many steerage and second cabin tickets for Europe as this year. “The low rates for steamship passage have made it possible for many persons to visit their birthplaces on the other side, and the do- pression In business has compelled many firms to reduce their forces by giving thelr men a lay-off, the packers particularly granting requests on the part of their men for six months' leave. So very low aro the present steamship rates that people can go to the other side qui‘e as cheap as living at home, and they are making the best of the low rates “The Hamburg express service outward gave information early In the season that they would not meet the cut rates of rival lines, but I am just in receipt of a tele- gram stating that I shall sell outward ex- s service at $20; regular mail steamer at § and Baltimore service at gross rate. In the express service included the steamships Augusta-Vic- torla, the Columbia, Fuerst Bismarck and the Normannia. This rate s still $5 higher than the English service.

Drove Over n Stemp Bluft and Met His Denth Below. Sitting by the dim light of a lamp Mrs. John Baker spent the dark hours of Monday night watching and waiting the return of a husband who was cold in death. He was lying at the foot of Ohio street, bie:ding and mangled so that he was almost an un- recognizable mass of human flesh. or ycars John Baker had been a rag picker in the city, reputed to be a miscr and a man of means, his wealth consisting of gold and silver which had been hoarded away., With his wife, this old man, 66 years of age, lived on the eastern shores of Courtland lake, occupying an humble little cottage. During rain_ and shine John Baker a familiar charact in the residence portions of the city, going from howse to houss, buying rags and cast off clothing. His cartbly work, however, is ended and yesterday his bedy lay at the morgue, at which place six men were called for the purpose of certaining just how he met his death. Monday afternoon John Baker staid at home, going away shortly after 6 o'clock, telling his wife that he had a load of rags that he wanted to get and take to the stcre room. During the for.noon he had been drinking, but at the time of taking his departure he was not under the influence of liquor. Hitching up his horse he drove down town, got the rags and stored them away, after which he visited some of the salcons, where he drank some, but not to excess. Just before midnight he started for home, going out on Sherman avenue, which was the last ever seen of him alive. Yesterday James Mitchell, who i at Tenth and Ohio streets, was on his way to work and was somewhit surprised as he reached the Twelfth street inter:ection to find a horse standing beside a wrecked wagon at the foot of the steep bank jus north of Ohlo street. Making a further in- vestigation, ho found the braiscd body of a man, cold and sff, In the weeds, showing conclusively that death had come several hours before. Mitchell notified the police, who in turn notified the coroner. This offi- cial sent the dead wagon and the body was taken to the morgue, where it was searched, ylelding up 23 cents and some letters. Soon affer the body had been found Mrs. Balker called at the station, saying that her husband had not bewn at hote since Mon- day and_that she had not. slept during the night.: 8he iwas eent to“the morgue, where he identified the remaius. People reziding on Ohio street state that shortly after midnight they heard a wagon pass over the pavement, going east and ap- parently being driven at a rapid rate of speed. Soon after this they heard a cry as though some one was In great pain and then all was still. Following the track of the wagon, It ig clear that Baker left Sherman avenue at Ohio street and then drove east, leaving this latter named street at Four- teenth, turning to the north and driving along the bank, which is perpendicular and about eighty feet high, until he reached a point about midway between Ohio and Corby streets. ore the whole outfit went over and rolled to the bottom, tearing through the weeds and underbrush.

During the session yesterday afternoon of the general executive board of the Knights of Labor it was decided to put out four mem: bers of the board in ebraska under the direction of State Master Workman D'All mand, to make six speeches each in the principal towns of the state, and make an effort to organize a new local assembly at each place. This will cover twenty-four points altogether, and by this work the gen- eral officers hope to form a nucleus which bulld up a sembly, It was decided Master Workman Sovereign next Friday evening, form a new local, and the members at Fremont were instructed by wire to get up a meeting for that date. The other points in the state to be visited were left to State Mas'er Workman D'Allemand, and he 1s now busily engaged over a map of the state determining the routes to be traveled by the organizers, Mr. D'Allemand is in the helght of his glory, and says now that he hopes his fullest expectations will be real- ized In bullding up the Knights of Labor in Nebraska. Word was received by the delegates that the attorney for the Santa Fe railroad was assisting the government in the prosccution of Debs and his comrades, and all expressed their disgust at such procedure. They thought that such action would be an eyc- opener to the people of the country, and would show them that the railroads we more interested in the prosecution of Debs than the government. A committee from disirict assembl 126, consisting of District Master Wo Cohen and District Secretary Nelson, call.d on the de s and informed them that Exposition hall had been secured for Thurs day even , and that it was the wish local organized labor that the visitors speak in the hall at that time to the people of Omaha upon the question of labor. By a unanimous vote of the board the invitation was accepted, and a motion was then passed instruc'ing General Master Workman Sover- eign to be present and deliver an address. One of the delegates proposed that a subject be chosen by the board, but to this the general master workman objected, saying that he would make up his mind what to talk about when he arrived at the hall All of the members of the general executive board will be present at the meeting, a large crowd of Omaha p to turn out to hear the di leaders, The local committee also extended an invitation to the visitors to take a car- ringe ride around the city some afternoon during the week, but this invitation was declined. General Master Workman Sover- eign thanked the committee for the inv tion, but said that business was so pressing at the present time that they would all be kept very busy all of this week. He said that a few hours' rest would be quite ac- ceptable if they had the time to spare, and that he would be much pleased to sce more of Omaha. He promised that in case they should remain in Omaha over Sunday the invitation might be accepted, but that at thi time they all expected to be out in the feld as soon as the pressing business of the order was cared for. Mr. Sovereign says he has received no official notice of the new labor organization in Chicago and does not know what It will amount to. State Master Workman A. Arapahoe, Neb., arrived was closeted with the general several hours. When en by a re- porter for The Bee he said: “For the past year I have been trying to get the gen- eral assembly to help us out in this :tate in the way of organizing new assemblies, and now Tam well pleased with the program that is beipg mapped out for this state, I have lately organized some new assemblies in Nebraska and put some old ones in good working order, and now I feel that with the tance of the general executive board we will be able to greatly increase our member- ship in_ Nebraska." In talking with the delegates it is under- stood by their remarks that the general offi- cers intend to help the populists all they can in Nebraska this year, and they will fry to co-operate with the state committee during the campalgn in forming new assemblies and whooping it up for populist candidates. General Master Workman Sovereign was asked what he intended to do regarding the labor militia companies, and he said: “Heretofore, the advice to workingmen has been to keep out of the mil- itia. It hould be changed. Every workingman should join the militia thus gelting the arms and discipline neces sary to defend the country and the people from the anarchists, railroad managers, their trusts, attorneys and the murderous deputies and Pinkertons whom they employ. ‘I have been a member of the state militia for three ycars myself and know that the members of the Knights of Labor are. the best militiamen in the country, I am also in favor of capturing the whole system of government and operating the same in the interest of the people.” about strong state to have General g0 to Fremont he expects to to soon where eman D’ Allemond of yesterday and officers for Two distinct shows at Courtland beach today—the lcopards and lions.
