The city council met last_evening to take a last whirl at the Seventh street and Union avenue ordinances, but made a failurc of It so far as Seventh street was concerned Alderman White, in deference to the wishes of the citizens who attended the last meet ing, proposed an amendment to ordi- | nance providing that the should reserve | all right to require the erection of a viaduct 50 that the public might use or below the tracks. This amendment was adoy Alderman Berwick and the ordinance as amended then lald over until the next meeting. The Union avenue ordinance was then brought up for consideration, and Alderm White presented another amendment, resery- city a right of way along the avenue from Broadway to the Union Pacific yards, and providing thit the Terminal com- pany, in consideration of its being allowed to lay tracks, must bring the entire to grade, whether it used the whole the street either | above alone vot ng no, was | avenue or onl minal compan tracks tbout two feet and a half higher than that of the Union Pacific, The amendment was changed to sult him, and the ordinance was then passed. After transacting some business of less importance, among which was ordering. the purchase of a deluge set for the fire depart- ment at a cost of $187, the council adjourned. In conve tion after the meeting as to the plans of the Terminal company, said: “There is some little red tape to gone through with before we can commence work. The mayor must s'gn the ordinance to make it valid, and then we shall have to scttle with the property owners for damages the abutting lots may sustain by reason of our laying our tracks. But if everything goes on as smoothly as we anticipate, we shall probably begin ‘the work within the next three weeks.

FOWLER, DICK & WALKER. worth from AFRAID THEY ARE DONE UP, Reprosentatives of the Unlon Bullding and Saving Association Investigate. A. S. Hazelton, L. Bridenstein and J. J. Steadman returned yesterday from Des Moines, where they went as representatives of the Union Building awd Savings associa- tion, for the purpose of investigating the al- leged crookedness of the management. Mr. Hazelton, together with F. T. Hughes of Keokuk and J. T. Illick of Burlington, formed a committee appointed to oppose the appoint- ment of a recelver, and they succeeded in their purpose, at least so far as the present is concerned. The ground upon which they fought the appointment of a receiver was that it would mean that the institution would have to be sold out at forced sale and very little would probably be realized. The showing they made led to the appointment of these three gen- tlemen as trustees, who were to have charge of tho associatlon’s affalrs for ten days, in which time they are to go through the books. If they find that the Institution is in such shape that the business can be carried wlong by a reorganization, it is probable that the application for a receiver will be denied W. 8. Richmond, the manager, seems to be the one person responsible for the de- preciation of the stock, or at least he is in the eyes of the stockhclders. During the hearing almost every epithet that could be thought of was applied to him by the at- torneys on the other side. The estimated value of the assets Is $150,000, while the labilities are $171,637. The loan fund, con- trary to law, has been used to pay the ex- penses, and that fact, together with losses from poor investments, has caused a. de- preciation of something like $20,000, About $15,000 worth of the siock Is held by Council Bluffs parties. In conversation about the matter Mr. Hazelton said yesterday afternoon: “The stockholders will not come out even, but how much of a loss they will sustain is S0 far nothing but guess work. All sorts of rumors as to the amount of loss have been floating around during the past few days, but they are based on no information whatever, for we have not had time to go through the books and o are un- able to say anything definite. The stock- holders in Des Moines think that a re- celvership is inevitable, but there is a pos- sibility that the dificulties may be cleared up in another way. For instance, the stock- holders might agree among themselves (o scale down their stock in order to make up the deficlency, and thus lose a little In prefer- ence to losing a good deal through the ap- polntment of a receiver. After making an investigation we may be able to tell whether a new set of men would be able to run the assoclation if a reorganization should be effected, and by the time the ten days given us have expired we hope to have our plans’ pretty well formulated.” Remember the Brownles' entertalnment at Dohany's Thursday, December 27, for the benefit of the Christian home.

Davis went on the war path and gathered Johnson in yesterday, tak- Ing him to the office of Justice Vein, where two informations were filed charging him with having in his possession and uttering forged papers. He was jailed and word was sent to his father. During his stay in the county Jail he acted strangely, and Jailer Peterson was of the opinion that he was crazy, or at least somewhat eccentric.

A somewhat peculiar state of affairs was brought out in the trial of the case of the Franklin Savings bank against C. J. Colby, which was on deck in the district court yes- terday. Colby executed a mortgage on some property for the sum of $8,000, in favor of Kimball & Cnamp, and the latter sold it to the Franklin Savings bank. Later on he concluded to pay off this mortgage and take out another, and he instructed Kimball & Champ to do S0. Now the Franklin : ings bank mortgage turns up unsatisfied, and in_ addition there are several others for smaller amounts, aggregating about $4,000, making the total incumbrance on the prop- erty $12,000 and over, in spite of the fact that Colby received but $8,000. It is charged that Kimball & Champ, instead of paying off the first mortgage with the proceeds of the second, sold the second and left the first unsatisfied. When the final smashup of the firm of Kimball & Champ cceurred the money went glimmering.

Clark of the Des Moines and Mr. Smith of the Farmers of Cedar Raplds, hastened to Chi- cago to fix the matter up. Their efforts were successful and resulted in rescinding the order for cut rates. Instead the whole state will be rerated upon a more equitable basis, the tariff on dwellings being materially reduced, while on the more hazardous classes there will probably be a slight iner In this rerating the companics are to bear the expense proportionately. It was admitted in the beginning that the key to the situation lay with the officers of the German of Free- port, Rockford, Milwaukee Mechanics and Concordia_Insurance companics, and Me:srs. Howell, Clark and Smith, for the Towa com- panies, claimed that they should not be made to suffer for the shortcomings of others. The wisdom of this argument was seen and a proposition was made to transfer the seat of war from lowa, where all the compani were willing to agree to the commisison rule, to Tilinois and Wisconsin, the headquarters of those refusing to co-operate. Under the terms of the agreement a committee of nine, composed of three Iowa, three union and three nonunion companies, will have charge of the regulation of the business in this state, and have been busy lately revising rates. A gencral meeting of representa- tives of all the companics interested was held in Chicago Tueeday, at which methods and regulations were discussed, with the re- sult indicated In yesterday's dispatches. NOT DISCOURAGED BY FAILURE. W. 8, Richmond of De oinos Jumps from One Business to Annther Rapldly. DES MOINES, Dec. 19.—(Special)—W. S, Richmond, who was at the head of the de- funct Unlon Building, Loan and Savings association of Des Moines, which caught so many lowa and Neb people, has or- ganized a printing company, with a stock of $2,000, to print a building and loan jour- nal in Des Molnes. The fact has developed that the concern mentioned had little bus- iness in this city and did mcst of its work in_ Burlington,” Mariofi_and a few other towns. The humber 'of persons holding stock in Des Moines seems to be very small, but four suits have been begun in the dis- trict court. They average an indebtedness from the concern of about $i00. Fach per- son asks for the appointmefit of a receiver, but the petitions havé not been brought to the attention of the'court as yet. Towa Is in a peculiar shape in respect to the companies that desire-to Incorporate under her laws_and do business on poor busitess basis. She has nj law to proteet herself. C. C. Dowell of Des Moines was the chairman of the commfttee in the leg islature last winter which fell down on gly- ing the state some protection against fraud- ulent concerns. The state.auditor has no more power over a bufldijg and loan and savings assoclation than ‘}ye has over the rivate business of a newspaper. The only aw on the books réspaetmg this class of financial institutions ts<one specifically de- claring that they may: charge more than the legal rate of Interest. The condition of the state and the fact that she is at the mercy of unscrupulous financiers is evi- denced by the fact that George McDonald of Chicago, who was sentenced to the peni- tentiary by Judge Woods for running the Guarantee Investment company, while in Jafl_in Iilinois managed and directed the efforts of his colaborers to get established in this state an institution similar to the one for running which he was sent to the penitentiary. Its articles of incorporation were flled ‘With the secretary of state last September. The postoffice nuthorities were notified of the establishment cf the con- cern—some reputable business men of the state were roped into it under false pre- tenses by the penitentiary manager—and have refused to allow it to do business through the malls. The only protection en- joyed by the people, therefore, is from the federal laws. It is Interesting to note in this connec- tion that at the next term of the court here a case will be tried in which' the charge has been made t building and loan associations bribed members of the last legislature to use their Influence against laws governing the business.
