8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1894. CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS One More Fire Engine to Be Purchased and | ix Hydrants Becured for Trial. DEBATE ON HCLDING HYDRANT RENTAL Finally Decided to Return Forfeited Bid of Citizens Lighting Company — Ques- tlon Causeda Siight Revival of the 0Old ¥ight—Routine Business. The old electric light fight was unexpect- edly resurrected at the spicial couneil meet- ing last night. Certain sore spots In the ecouncilmanic anatomy were irritated until the | debate grew sulphurous, and some member: worked thems:lves into a temper which wilted their collars and furnished ed.fying entertain- | ment to the lobby. It all grew out of an| apparently inoffensive resolution introduced by | Parker. It provided that all checks held by the city on account of electric light and gas bids be returned to the bidders. The resolution was deftly sandwiched in a Tot of routine matters, and at the time no one discovered that it was ed. It was adopted without discussion, but five minutes later | Elsasser thought he saw a black shadow In the wood pile, and moved that the action by which the resolution was adopted be re- considered. This was on the ground that the resolution contemplated also the return of the $500 check of the Citizens' Blectric Light and Power company, which had been | declared forfeited because the company had | refused to come in and sign the contract | which had been awarded to it by the council Bechel moved to lay the moton to reconsider on the table, but this was defeated and the | members debated themselves hoarse on | Elsasser's motion. Hascall made two or three incoherent speeches in which he vaguely accused Elsasser of being in some way a beneficiary in the transaction Wheeler and others claimed that since the | check of the Pardee company had been re turned th> Citizens' company should be treated likewise, Cahn took the floor to say that there was no comparison between the two cases. In the Pardee case the council had refused to Jet the contract on the lowest bid of $87.50 1t had rejected all bids and could do nothing elss than return the checks. In the present case the Citizens' company had been awarded the contract which it had refused to sign and the council had been compelled to accept & considerably higher bid. The check had been wantonly forfeited and should be turned into the general fund. Hascall_made another speech and Parker accused Elsasser of being a member of a company which had tried to hold up the Wiley company for $18,000. Then a vote was taken and the motion to reconsider was lost by 12 to 5. The $500 check will ac- cordingly be returned. FIRE DEPARTMENT QUESTION. The financial committee, with City Attor- ney Connell, presented a report in regard to reinforcing the fire department. It stated that it would be impossible for the city to purchase three steamers with the funds now available. It had conferred with the officials of the Water Works company in regard to increasing the size of water mains in the down town districts, and had been assured that the receivers would concur in a petition to the United States court for an order to enlargo the pipes. The committee therefore recommended that one steamer be purchased and that if it should be assured that the mains would be enlarged the new council should be requested to provide for the purchase of the other two steamers. An fmportant featuro of the report was a recommendation that until the reinforcement of the water pipe system was assured no more money on hydrant rentals should be pald to the Water Works company. This provision was vigorously opposed by Hascall, who contended that the water works company had carrled out its contract and #hould be pald. Wheeler concurred in this on the ground that in 1880 the council passed an ordinance which substantially approved the pipe system as it then existed. To re- fuse to pay the hydrant rental would result in the council being cited to appear before the United States court to show cause. President Howell took the floor to say that 1t was not alone a question of inefficiency in the fire department, but also a lack of suffi- clepcy In the water pressure. The gentle- man from the First had made a number of aspersions that were entirely uncalled for. He was willing to meet the emergency that undoubtedly existed, but he was averse to compelling' the property owners to expend $40,000 for new engines when there was no water with which to run them. He was in the council to represent the people and not the American Water Works company, and if the rentals were held back for a time it might have a tendency to expedite the plac- ing of larger mains. SIX HYDRANTS FOR TRIAL, After some further debate the objection- able clause was struck out, and the report, as amended, was adopted. The city engineer was directed to procure slx Beaumont fire hydrants on trial. These are supposed to be more efficient than those now in use, as the flow is not obstructed by Tods and valves. The contract and bond of the Omaha Gas Manufacturing company for furnishing gas lamps for street lighting for a term of three years was approved. The contract for furnishing lumber during 1895 was awarded to C. N. Deitz, A communicat.on conveylng the ‘information that the Board of Park Commissioners had passed a_resolution recommending that the name of Riverview park be changed to Mur- ray park and that of Southeast avenue to Murray avenue on the condition of Tom Mur- *s donation of a tract of land to the park referred.

Young Man Blows Out the Close to Ueath. Jesse Rogers, a young man 19 or 20 years of ags, was asphyxiated Thursday night at 2207 Farnam street by gas. He came to the city Thursday with the intentlon of attend- ing a commercial college, and stayed over night at the address ab:ve mentioned with a friend named Lee. He retired about 9 o'clocke and yesterday morning at 7:30 his friend rapped at his door to awaken him to 80 to breakfast. He recelved no response and opening the door found the rcom full of gas and Rogers lying on the bed uncon- scious, It was discovered that he had partly turned off the gas and had then blown it out, Drs. Towne, Gibbs and Spalding were called, and although they worked over him all day, at a late hcur last night he had mot rocovered consclousness. It is a very pecu- llar case, as the victim of asphyxiation usu- ally dies in a short time or recovers conm- sciousness. He Is still in a critical condition, but Dr. Spalding stated that he thought he Wwould recover. The young man's home is about ten miles from Kearncy. His parents were telegraphed for. This portion of Farnam street appears to be a good place for cases of this kind. A few nights ago an elderly lady, also from the country, stopping at the next house east and also turned the gas in her rocm partly off and then blew it out. When the odor of the became manifest the next morning it was traced to her room. As the door was locked it became necessary to find some one thin encugh to climb through the transom. As the men of the house were somewhat cor- pulent, the ne!ghborhood had to be searched and finally a thin man was found. The woman recovered in a few bours, e weerey A ffty-two-week feast 1s provided by Har- per's Young People for $2.00 a year, o ardhowi o ol Federation of Woman's Clubs.

Mrs. yra Opel Charges and LOUIS, Dec. Suing Her Husband- ntercharges. ST. 7.~The suit for divorco of Mrs Opel, which came up for trial toda circuit court, has caused cons.derable sensation owing to the soclal prominence the persons concerned. The defendant is prominent business man and the plaintift and her two daughters are leaders in soclety circles. On June 19, 1804, Mrs. Opel filed suit for divorce, alleging that her hu band threatened her fp such a manner as tc render her life unbearable and accusing him f habitual drunken ig_her of adulte in the of a of She alleged that he d an income of year, and sued suitable alimony. On October 8 Opel filed an answer to his wife's peti- enj for ir | tion In which he denied her allegations and | cused Brown, of her of adultery with Frank D, Both parties sued for the custody wo minor children. Several striking scenes were developed in | the trial. Mrs. Opel was put on the stand. Interest reached its climax when the com- plainant told of bitter accusations, vile in- sinuations against her wifely conduct, brutal, obscene words and caths alleged to have been heaped upon her systematically by her | husband, in public and private for seven or elght years, culminating in a declaration by him in a legal document, before either party sought a divorce, that she was unchaste. No less dramatic was the testimony of 14-year- old Myra Opel, who was a witness to one stormy scene between her parents at the Southern Hotel. Myra was put cn the stand to corroborate the statements of her mother and did so emphatically. Several other wit- nesses were examined and the case was ad- journed until Saturday morning, when Mra. Opel will resume her testimony. —_— THE DIRECT SOUTHERN ROUTE Via the Rock Isiand—>hortest Line and Fuastest Time.

Sensational Damage Suit is Brought to a Sudden Termination. A somewhat celcbrated case was brought up before Judge Dundy yesterday —and dismissed, the attorneys announcing to the court that the controversy had been settled The parties were Mrs. Birney of St. Louis and Mrs. Reed of Lincoln. Mrs. Birney sued Mrs, Recd for false imprisonment, and the matter came about in this wise: Mrs. Reed is a highly connected member of the ultra fashionable circles of the city of Lincoln, and is a widow without efcum- brance, Some years after she laid her first husband away, she met W. H. Nelson, and for a second time in her life surrendered her heart to the kecping of one of the rner gander. After a brief courtship they me betrothed, and the wedding day was fixed. Nelson finally wan. dered away from his affections and ultimately resigned all claim to the fair widow's hand. She commenced a suit for breach of promise and in the somewhat devious progress of the case Mrs. Birney bec tornished an affidavit to the effect that Mrs. | Reed had in her anxiety affection of her truant attire and searched for him through the streets at night. Mrs. Birney also made other allegations of a surprising nature, all of which were extremely damaging to the case of the widow Reed. As a result, the widow had Mrs. Birney arrested at St. Louis and brought to Lincoln for trial on the criminal charge of perjury. Mrs. Birney was acquitted after an exciting trial, lasting several days. She thereupon commenced a suit for damages against Mrs. Reed, but the case has been settled out of court. So has the breach of promise case against Nelson been dismissed and’ the books arc closed.
