8 (ITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS 0dds and Ends of Old Business Taken Up and Disposed Of, WAS AN ANNUAL CLEARANCE SESSION Several Matters Referred to Committees of the Incoming Council—Ordinance Regu- Iating the Operation of Elevators and Providing for Thelr Inspection, The adjourned session of the city council last night was mainly devoted to acting on the reports of committees on matters that had accumulated during previous ses- sions, preparatory to turning the city af- fairs over to the new council. The most important matter that came up in this con- nection was the report of the committee on the Sherman avenue paving muddle, which has been ®o vigorously contested in the Board of Public Works, the council and the district court. The committee found that there was a majority petition for Trinidad sheet asphal- tum, and recommended that the contract be let to Hugh Murphy on his bid of $2.07 for two and one-haif inches of asphaltum on a four and on:-half Inch concrete b The former resolution passed by the council ordered the Board of Public Works to let the contract to Mr. Murphy at $2:19, and the report last night was to the effect that these figures were put in by mistake and that they should be changed to $2.07, the price named in the bid. The final ordinance ordering the paving was introduced and re- ferred to the committee on paving, curb- ing and guttering, with instructions to re- port at the next regular meeting. The only new business was an important ordinance relating to the inspection and regulation of elevators, which was intro- duced by Wheeler and laid over under the rules. The ordinance provides that all ele- vators in the city of over 309 pounds carry- ing capacity shall be inspected by the boiler inspec and a certificate Issued stating that they are In a safe and serviceabld con- dition. The fee for each certificate is $1. No person under 18 years of age shall be employed as an elevator conductor, and all such employes shall be required to submit to an examination and take out a certificate of competence. 1f the inspector finds that an elevator is in an unsafe condition or Is in charge of an incompetent person he shall serve a written notice on the owner, and any failure to comply with this notice is made a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not less than $10 or more than $100. An additional fine of $50 is Incurred for each day that the owner allows to elapse after receiving the notice before making the re- quired changes. The contract and bond of C. W. Hull & Co. for furnishing cement during 1895 was approved. That of J. C. Seeney for remov- ing tho election booths was referred to the committec on buildings and property of next year's council. The reference was made be- cause it was suggested that the Platte Canal company would know in a few days whether or not it would want to hold a special elec- tion. This was the first document to be re- ferred to the new council. The contract and bond of Noah Perry for furnishing scwer pipe during 1895 was also referred. A petition from Fifteenth street business men asked that the street peddlers be or- dered to keep off that portion of the street between Harney street and Capitol avenue. This was referred to the judiciary committee with Instructions to report at the next meet- ing. The report of the Board of Equalization on plans of assessment remaining in the hands of the council recommended that the plan of assessment for opening Thirteenth street from the alley north of Nicholas street to the gouth line of Paddock Place be rejected on account of an error in the report of the appraisers. Dechel moved to amend the re- port by rejecting the assessment for grading ‘Woolworth avenue from Second to Sixth street. This is a case where there was some variation from the grade as originally estab- lished, and two previous plans of assessment have been rejected. Bechel's amendment was carried, and on motion of Howell the report was also amended to approve the as- sessment for opening Thirteenth street. The report was adopted as amended. George J. Paul was allowed $150 in satis- faction of his claim for a balance due for services as appraiser, The original claim was $215. The health fund was ordered to be in- flated to the extent of $257 by a transfer from the general fund, on account of the smallpox cases. The recent communication of the building inspector In reference to the unsafe con- dition of dance halls was referred to the next council committee on police. The proposals for placing a tower clock in the city hall, which have been In the hands of the committee on public property and bulldings for the past six months, wera left over for the consideration of the new council, —_— Harper's Bazar glves correct information about fashions for everybody, for $4.00 a year. TALKING FIRE CHIEF. Indications that Kedoll May Got the Much Sought After Plum. The Board of Fire and Police Commis- sloners held a secret meeting yesterday, and when the members came out it was an- nounced that they had done nothing. Com- missioner Smith was unable to be present. It was learned that the members had agreed upon some things connected with the appoint- ment of a new fire chief to succeed J. J. Galligan. They have agreed on appoimting a new chief within the next few days, probably at their regular meeting on Monday evening, and it does not seem at all likely that that man will be a resident of Omaha. When John Redell left here a few days ago it was understood that the only thing which prevented his immediate appointment a chief was some charges Wgainst his personal character. As soon as he learned of these he left for Chicago and Duluth to secure evidence to the contrary, and it fs understood that he has mailed afiidavits to the board contradicting these charges. These atiidavits and other references were considered by the board at its mecting yesterday, and it is al that Mr. Redell now stands a very ow of recelving the coveted position. He I2 expected to arrive in the city between now and Monday. He has a large amount of mail awaiting his arrival, addressed as chiet of the fire department. The friends of Acting Chlef Salter are not relaxing their efforts to have him succe:d Chief Galligan, but they do not appear as hopeful as they 4id a few days ago. The Board of Fire and Police Commis- sloners are being deluged with applications for the position of fire chief. Letters have been received from Peru, Neb., New Orleans, San Francisco, Topeka, and many other places. Some of the applicants are firemen and some are not, but each one belicves that he would be just the right person for the position, —_—— A toothsome lunch for the fishing excursion can be best prepared with Dr. Price's Baking Powder. ————— BHORT-WEIGHTED THE POOR. Plan of Connty Agent Currier to Make Supplies Hold Out. Before another day rolls around there will be a change in the management of the county store at Eighteenth and St. Mary's avenue. For some time the county commissioners , bave been distributiog their supplies for the * Tellet of the outside poor from the store house, and have been very much pleased with . the results, claiming that they have effected & very considerable saving over the old plan. Liecently complaints have been made that the worl of the store keeper has not been in ac- anhnce whh the claims and orders of the RARERaRa, G + 1t has oeu the Gislam of (he commiksioners f0 pay the men who were working on the 4eounty roads with orders for supplies on the eounty store. Several complaints have been made that the supplies were given out on galu that gave the eustomer very much the 018t of the bargain. Men who have been Working on the roads have taken tbe goods recelved at the county store and have had thern welghed on other scales, and almost in- varfably found them short weight. Com- plaint was made to tne commissioners, but they placed little confidence in the reports of short welght, chiefly for the reason - that there could be nothing gained by shortweigh- ing on goods that were _being given away by the county. Thurs- day, however, the commissioners re- ceived a complaist from a man who had received several do'lars’ worth of supplies from the county store. They took the goods and had them weighed and found them short from 10 to 25 per cent. An inyestigation was at once commenced, and the discovery made that Agent Currier, at the county store, had been systematically giving short weights to patrons of the place, for the pur- pose, he said, of making the goods hold out and meking up for shortages and shrinkages In welght that fs an unavoidable feature of loss in the handling of nearly all classes of groceries and provisions, The commissioners were very much dis- pleased with the discovery, and at an in- formal meeting decided to at once place an- other man in charge of the county store. No charge of dishonesty is made against Agent Currier, and in fact there would be no chance for him to profit by the system which has been adopted by him In the store The commissioners simply do not want to continue the system, or condone the use of it In the past. It has not yet been decided, or announced, at least, who will succeed Mr Currier. Other charges have been made to the effect that the county has been giving short welght In the matter of coal, delivered to the poor, and the commissioners to meet on the day after Christmas to enter upon a full investigation of the charges in this respect. Inspector White has examined the scales used by the county agent in welghing out coal and various other supplies and finds that there is a material discount in favor of the county. . The scales do not balance by thirty pounds, and the difference is against the customer. As most of the coal welghed out is in small quantities, the varia- tion of thirty pounds on each lot amounts to a big per centage. After cleaning up the scales it was found that there was still ten pounds variation, and the inspector will sco that the scales are made to balance here- after.

A motion for a new trial has been made In the case in which the will of the late Mary E. Ramacciotti was contested in the district court. The chief point raised in the motion for a new trial fs causing much attention in legal circles, The attorneys for the contestants allege that the court erred in admitting the testi- mony of Judge Estelle, General Cowin and W. D. McHugh, attorneys who had legal busin with the deceased just before her death. These gentlemen gave e ce con- cerning their confidential conversations with the deceased, the purpose being to show that she was competent to make the will which was contested. The contestants now allege that the communications between Mrs, Ramacciotti and her lawyers were confidential and should not have been divulged in the coutt room after the death of the client. There is much diversity of opinion among the attorneys on the merit of the point raise The question wil be argued before the ad- Journment of the term. choes from Holt County. A jury in Judge Blair's court is hearing the case of the First National bank of Mo- line, TIl,, against the First National bank of Omaha, an echo of the failure of the bank 11, which suspended in 1893, after the t Scott defalcation. The Moline bank bought a_note of David L. Darr, dated at O'Neill, for $1,102, and sent the same to the Omaha bank for collection. The Omaha bank sent th= note to O for collection, and had business relati d a running account with the O'Neill bank until its suspension on July 10, 1893, The peti- tioner alleges that the note was paid by Darr on July 10, but that the Omaha bank has failed to pay the bill. The d:fense denfes the payment of the note by Darr and alleges a state of collusion be- tween the O'Neill people to make it appear that the note had been paid when no money had ever been received on it. In Judge Blair's court the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs in the case of Beall against the Byron Reed estate, a suit for the possession of eighty acres of land in the northern part of the county. The jury in the case of John L. Webster against the National Bank of Commerce re- turned a verdict in Judge Ambrose’s court yesterday, assessing Mr. Webster's claims at $1,820.10. Mr. Webster had sued for $4,000 for fees in several cases.

The suit of Mosher vs Morse has been decided, Judge Ambrose instructing the jury to find ‘a_verdict for the defendant. Morse, the Omaha dry goods man, sold a bill of goods to a man at Mason City who was mixed up with Charley Mosher in"the West- ern Manufacturing company. Mosher took possession of the stock of goods, and Morse attached and sold enough to satisfy his claim of $400. Mosher brought suit to recover from Morse, alleging wrongful seizure. The court sustained Mors2's action, The personal injury case of John Haldman against _the Union Stock Yards company of South Omaha is still on in Judge Keysor's court. This will be the last jury trial of the term, Court will adjourn today until after Christmas, and then the business of the term will be taken up by the several judges in chambers.
