WANT A MORTGAGE PROPERTY CANCELED Jadge Strode Tearing & Big Foreclosure Suit in Which a Number of Tatri- eato Logal Problems Are Involved. LINCOLN, Nov. 14.—(Special)—A big loreclosure suit Is now being tried in Judge Strode’s court, Involving thirty-five people, a claim of $14,000 and 260 lots In Lincoln Helghts addition, North Lincoln. It is a caso where Andrew Miles of Omaha sues D. L. Brace and George E. Bigelow for the foreclosure of this claim against the real estate. It Is alleged by the plaintiff that on March 8, 1889, defendants executed to him a five-year note for $10,000, with interest at 8 per cent, securing the same by the lots in North Lincoln. The mortgage contained a. clause agreelng to release any lots that might be sold to other parties on the pay- ment of $60. There are some thirty pur- chasers of lots whose property is included in the list of those upon which foreclosure Is asked. They object to the sale of their property, claiming that the mortgage has been paid off and should be canceled. A question of usury enters into the defense, and the defendants claim that the plaintiff have been paid in full. Judge Strode handed down a decree this morning vacating and setting aside the judg- ment recently obtained by the Kansas Manu- facturing company against Laura T. Funk, on the ground that it was not defendant's fault she was not present to defend.

R s IRON TRADE REVIEW. Pusincss Has Not Improved as Much as Expected. NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—The Iron Age will say tomorrow: Those who entertain some- what sanguine views ak to the immediate effect of the result of the elections upon business have been disappointed® Buyers have not rjumped into the market, and the volume of business has shown practically no increase. The feeling is better, but there are other oomsiderations which outwelgh in shaping the new feature of the iron t ade. The modest demand for finished material is making the steel works more indifferent buyers of bessemer pig, and that has cre- ated a weakening- tendency. Thus far the balance has been well polsed. In the wire trade the latest development is the rupture of the newly-formed barb wire combinatiol while war goes on vigorously in the wire nail trade. The starting of two of the lead- ing western tin plate mills on a nonunion basis is a movement of much significance It meuns that an effort is being made to | drive the Amalgamated assoclation from one of its last strongholds. Ameriean Wool Trade. BOSTON, Nov. 14.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will tomorrow say of the wool trade: The sales this week indi- cate more activity in domestic wools. A better feeling has been manifest on the part of the manufacturers, as the considerably increased Inquiry shows. There Is more wool selling, and while there is no quotable change in rates there is less disposition to shade prices to effect sales. The market appears to be firmer than a week ago. Thi we think, may be safely accepted in re- gard to most kinds of domestic wool. Some users of stock, who a fortnight ago evinced no eagerness to accept offers of wool at the ruling rates, have this weck quietly closed bargains for the same or equivalént lot A falr business has been done in Australia: as the record indicates. Other kinds of for- elgn wool have been very slow. The sales of the week amounted to 2,103,000 pounds of domestic and 667,500 pounds of foreign, mak- Ing a total of 2,770,600 pounds, against a total of 67,600 pounds for the previous week, and a total of 3,153,000 pounds for the corresponding week last year.

PROPOSE TO INVESTICATE Operation of Water Works System Will Be Bubjectad to Tests, FORMULATED TODAY PLANS TO BE City Couneil and Iusiness Men Determined o Discover the Cuuse of Tnadequate Water Fressure at Fires— terday’s Discussion. A special meeting of the Board of Fire and Police commissioncrs was held in the city hall yesterday afternoon to cons.der the matter of inadequate water pressure and the complaints of business men and others that their property was not sufficiently pro- tected, The discussion was prolonged until after 6 o'clock, but no conclusions were reached, and, beyond a general exchange of views, nothing was accomplished by the meeting. Those present, besides the full board, were: City Attorney Cotnell, City Engineer Rose- water, Councilmen Burkley, Cahn, Wheeler, Jacobson, Specht, Bruner and Hascall, and George E. Tibbs, Adolph Meyer, John S. Brady, O. 8. Montgomery, Buclid Martin and Major Wilcox, representing the business men's committee, Mayor Bemis stated that the object of the | meeting was to find out where the blame lay for the alleged Inadequacy of fire pro- tection and all were invited to express their views. Mr. Burkley presented the petition of job- bers and business men which was received by the council on the preceding evening, and this was read in full, Councilman Hascall repeated his speech made before the council and said that the Fire and Police Board was responsible fon the inefficiency of the fire department. He claimed that the board had been treated very generously by the council in that it had been allowed $10,000 in addition to its regu- lar appropriation. It was not expected that the water company was to keep up the pres- sure specified in fts contract at all times. It hiad shown that it could develop this pres- sure when it wanted to and this was all that could be expected. Commissioner Strickler called the speaker’s attention to the fact that the manager of the Water Works company had testified be- fore the board of adjusters after the Farnam Street theater fire that the pressure in the mains was constant, and was the same at all times, This did not phase the First ward statesman, however, who _contended that when the manager sald that he did not know what he was talking about. ° Hascall went on to attack the board on the ground that the engines were out of or- der at the Morse-Coe fire and Comniissioner Smith explained that the engines broke down while in service on account of a defect in the manufacture and not through any negli- gence on the part of the department. The same engine had been taken to'South Omaha after the fault was rectified and worked for thirty-six hours without a break. City Engineer Rosewater was called on to explain whether the present water works sys- tem could be made to furnish the pressure required by the contract. He stated that the reservoir at Florence was 308 feet above the river, or over 200 feet above the principal business districts of the city. The amount of pressure to be .obtained. depended on the size and length of the pipes and ‘the fric- tional resistance afforded. When the system was put '~ Omaha was a city of 30,000 peo- ple and it was not expected that over 5,000,- 000 gallons would be pumped daily. The average daily consumption was then scarceiy over 500,000 gallons. It.was never contem- plated that the pumps. should give direct pressure. The city had now reached a point where the aggregate consumption was as high as 24,000,000 gallons In a single day. FLOW MUST BE CONCENTRATED. In conclusion, Mr, -Rosewater stated that ‘a sufficient, pressure cotld ‘be obtained, but in order 1o do’ this there would. have to, be.& properdistribution of the pressure through the mains. I Within the past four years the ¢ity had been divided into three ystems, so that the higher districts of the city were supplied by a divect preséure, While the lower part was supplied by a gravity pressure. When the system was inaugu- rated the size of the pipes to b laid ‘in v: ous parts of the city was specified in contract, but since the company had gone beyond that and extended its system, if ought to be compelled to enlarge its mains In the central districts to correspond with the in- creased consumption. ° The Interfor service of the company sheuld be suffciently enlarged to overcome the increased - frictional resist- | ance resulting from the éxtension of the sys- tem over a largely Increased area. He be- lieved that a very material Improvement could be effected by connecting some of the mains and improving the system of distribu- tion. Under the present system of distribu- cient direct pressure through the smaller down-town mains without bursting the larger mains nearer the initial point. Mr. Rosewater ‘claimed that the depart- ment made a mistake In putting in too many lines of hose so that the pressure was 89 divided that none.of the streams - were effective. It had been settled that the pres- sure was not capable-of supplying more than a certain number of streams, and if fewer streams were used and the size of the noz- zle Increased much better results would be obtalned. Mr. Connell said that the contract which was prepared when the city contained not more than 30,000 people did not anticipate what would be necessary when It had as- sumed metropolitan proportiohs. Al) that was necessary was that elght streams should be thrown to a height of 110 feet at a cer- tain point, and 4if this -could be done then the city would not have any standing in court 80 far as compelling the Water Works company to make any changes in the sy; tem was concerned. He believed that if an additional pressure could be created by a redistribution of the mains the matter should be worked up in an amicabls mahner between the city and the Water Works company. If this wi not possible, then there was no other way than to fall back to the proposition to purchase additional engines. After some additional discussion Mr. Burk- ley announced that the special council com- mittee, together with the business men's committee, would meet in committee room A | in the city hall at 4 o'clock this afternoon | to map out a plan of investigation. At a future date they would request the board to attend. CHARTER REVIRION COMMITTEE. City Engineer to le Chalrman of the Hoard ot Public Works. The charter revision committee held a pro- tracted session last evening and made some little progress. George E. Bozgs tendered his resignation as a member of the committee, and his place was filled by the appointment of Howard B. Smith. Mr. Tukey, from the committee on con solidation, presented the following recom- mendations: 1. That after July 1, 1895, the clty engineer shall bo the third member of the Board of Public Works. 2. That the bullding and plumbing depart- ments of the city be placed under the charge of the Board of Public Works, and that sald board appoint building and ' plumbing in- spectors. 3. That the office of gas inspector and c'ty electriclan be consolidated. 4. That the sanitary department of the Board of Health be placed in charge of the police department. The third proposition evoked vigorous pro- tests from both the city electrician and the gas Inspector, both of whom were present to personally explain that no good would accrue to the city by the consolidation. Mr. Tukey expla-ned that the only object of consolidation was to lessen the number of clerks and employes, but he admitted that there was no neceasity for uniting these two offices, and on motion of Mr. Dumont the third recommendation was stricken out. Clty Engineer Rosewater made a vigorous protest against the proposition to make the city engineer the third member of the Board of Public Works. He said if there was an intention of reorganizing that board it should be reorganized {rom the very bottom. It was | November 16. ridiculous, ught, to ask the designing architect o bullting to serve under mere fo . it was even more ridiculous to make a city engineer a_subordinate of a man who knew nothing about eng neering. The city englneet, he contended, should elther be placed 14 oharge of public works or be left off the bgard enticely. Other metabert of the revision committee endorsed the position taken by Mr. Rose- water, but exolained that the only obfect of advocating AW ghange was to cut down ex- penes After further discussion the consolidation committee \ithdraw Its first recommenda- tion and substityted the following That after July 1, 185, the cty engineer shall be thdothird member and chairman of the Board of Public Works. The amendei section was adopted after some further discusston. The remaining sec- tions were adojted without further talk The matter of incorporating a provision in the new charter giving old soldiers perfer- ence in work on cty improvements, other things being equal, came up for some little discussion and was finally raferred to a sub- committee, consisting of Messrs. Winspear, Wyman and Tukey, The matter of providing that members of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners could only be appointed by the governor with the advire and consent of the o'ty council, was reported upon adversely by Mr. Chase from the subcommittee to which it had been referred. The report was unanimously adopted. FROM SOUTH OMAHA, Why Dennis Murphy Must Lose a Forfeit e~Mugle City Gossip, Dennis Murphy, the saloon man on Twenty- fourth street, is about the most angry man In South Omaha. Murphy owns two of the best fighting bwldogs in Nebraska. He has backed one of them in about twenty battles and has his first losing to book. A short time ago he made a match with a man in Fort Omaha for a purse of $100 a side. The stake money was §50 each. Murphy's dog was In the prime of condition and his friends were willing to go broke or win a big pot ot money on the fight. Tuesday night some person broke the lock on the rear door of the basement and en- tered through ‘the lower floor where the fighting dog 18 kept. From the basement an entrance to the saloon was easily effected by breaking a common lock. In the saloon Mr. Murphy keeps another bulldog which can fight as good as the next one. This dog was taken to the basement and turnod loose with the prize winner. When Murphy arrived at the saloon the next morning the dogs were still fighting, The men must have entered about 2 o'clock In the morning and set the dogs to fighting. The dog that was to be malched with the Fort Omaha dog is s0 badly disfigured that it will be im- possible to match him for several weeks and as a result the owner will lose his forfeit money. That is why Mr. Murphy looks so sad. Magio City Notes. John Storack Is under arrest on the charge of assaulting C. J.

As the evening progressed, however, the seats filled up and the attendance equalled any of the previous nights. When Ives made his run of 122 Tuesday night and made his score 1,200, the limit for two nights' play, the balls were iuside tho line at the end of the table. Ives finished his twenty-sixth inning tonight and made a run of but nine points The score when play commenced wns Ives, 1,200; Schaeffer, 832, Ives left the balls together and Schaeffer run twenty-nine points and fatled on a bank shot in the center of the table. Ives started and ran 167 points. Schaeffer made a run of six and Ives stopped after making one point. This gave the table to Schaeffer again, who ran his score up twenty-thres points. Ives started in again with a straight line shot and a follow. He was a little nervous and missed an open shot after running only six points. Schaeffer had to take the balls separated, but managed to get them into a corner. There, by a mis- cue, he got his cue ball behind them, and in a follow shot failed at eleven. The lay out was encouaging_when Ives started in again and ran up 178, missing on a cross table draw. The Wizard did not prove him- solf equal to his title at this stage of the game, for he could do but little with the Ivories.

At this point Schaeffer commenced to pick up and made a run of sixty-one. He fell down on belng inside the balk line. Ives was leading his opponent in good form.and the next time e took his cue he ran up 124 points. He was frequently applauded for his beautiful masse shots. The Wizard scored a blank and his opponent ran the balls all over the green baizo and did nearly as he pleased. When he had finished he had run sixty- seven and stopped by losing a masse. When Schaeffer went to work again he made the best shot of the evening when he made his twenty-seventh point of the inning. His cue ball was on the rail between the two. To make this shot he had to make one of the finest masse shots yet seen In the tourney His score was thirty-eight when he failed. Tves did some pretty work in the next inning. When he opened on his thirty-fourth inning he wanted only 137 points to run out. He had good control of the balls and ran to ninety-two, missing on a draw at the corner. This put his score to within forty-five of the limit. Schaeffer then made fifty-three points, sovoral of which -were made with pretty shots; At the next inning Ives had to be content with two points, slipping up on a masse. Schaeffer then made twenty points and missed on an open play. Ives then ran forty-three and game. Score: Ives—9, 187, 1, 6, 78, 21, 124, 67, 9 Grand total, 1800, Tonight's average, Highest run, 157.

Young Adventurer Dazzlos n Denver Beauty und Runs Off with Her. DENVER, Nov. 14.—Clarence W. Clark, a young adventurer who represented himself as the ‘“champlon cyclist of the world, the owner of a $35,000 diamond belt and a globe trotter,” arrived in this city Saturday and had an interview with himselt published in which he sald that he and Jack Prince were traveling togcther and would attempt to lower the roller skating record in Denver. He se- sured an introduction to Miss Gertrude H. Hutchins, aged 18, and on Monday they were married by a justice of the peace. Thelr present whereabouts are not known. Miss Hutchins is the daughter of Harry T. Hutehins, an artist, and 18 a perfect plo- ture of beauty. She is the niece of D. W. May, the owner of the Gilsey house in this city. Her relatives are prominent in the east, her grandfather being a commodore in the United States navy. Her uncle, John Graham, a famous criminal lawyer in New York City, died recently, leaving a large part of his estate to Miss Gertrude. The police have a theory that Clark may have had Corbett’s diamond belt which was stolen In Davenport, Ta., and that he promised Miss Hutchins to make the diamonds into orna- ments for her. Clark falsely represented while here that he was a brocher of Harry Corson Clarke, a member of the Lyceum theater stock company. Clark Is said to be connected with a highly respectable family in New York. Short Pollee Stories.
