A R A ESEEES R 8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1894 REDELL 1S CHOSEN CHIEF Bucceeds Galligan as the Ohief of the Omaha Fire Department, SALARY FIXED AT THREE THOUSAND Balter Made First Assistant with Salary Ralsed from 81,600 to 81,800—New Regime to Date from Janua-y L iard” Engine. John E. Redell of Chicago was appointed hief of the Omaha fire department by tie Board of Fire and Police Commissioners at & speclal meeting yesterday afternoon. Mr. Redell has been notified of the appointment and last night he telegraphed his accept- ancs of the position. The new chief will assume his duties on January 1 and will arrive in the city Monday evening. The galary attached to the position was increased from $2,500 to $2,000, and the chief will be glven all the assistance the board can give him in reorganizing the department and in- augurating a better fire service. probable that the rules governing firemen will be modified to conform In a measure with those now in vogue in Chicago and which were published in last Sunday's Bee. Charles Salter was appointed first assist- ant chief and his salary was raised from $1,600 to $1,800 per year. Second Assistant Chief Barnes will be retained in his present ilef John J. Galligan has been given hree months' leave of absence on full pay after which ho is to be retired on half pa for the remainder of his life. As he has been recelving $2,500 per year this will give him a comfortable competence, The board will make a public acknowledgement of his retirement and past faithful services. Just what plans the new chief has formed in relation to the reorganization of the depart- ment is not now known, but in some fn- stances radical steps may be taken, and useless members will be quickly droppe from the pay rolls. The commissioners havi ordered a full-sized y steamer and will purchase thrce or four others during the coming year. Five thousand feet of first- class hose will also be added to the fire fight- ing equipment and the department will be put in the best possible shape. Chief of Police Seavey, Fireman Ormsby, Galligan and Fitzpatrick were given leaves of absence, and the resignations of R. N. Jamison and George L. Hurst as speclal policemen were accepted. During Chief Seavey's absence Captain Mostyn will act as chief. The clerk of the board reported that there was $16,076.62 balance in the fire fund and $39,110.37 in the police fund. The citizens in the vicinity of Thirtieth street north of Bristol asked for police pro- tection from the depredations of a gang of young hoodlums who make the nights around there a hideous dream. W. J. Kennedy, one of the ploneer citizens, protested against’ the appointment of an out- side man as fire chief. His protest was filed. The new Silshy engine, which was pur- chased by the board several weeks ago, was ordered named the “Ezra Millard” in recog- nition of the loyalty of that gentleman to this city in the past. The expenses of Commissioner Hartman in going to Chicago to employ a new fire chlef were $28.50 and were allowed by the board. In a communication to the board Chief of Police Seavey suggested that no license be granted to any saloon which had more than one wine room. He stated that thera were many saloons In Omaha where the wine rooms were conducted as hotbeds of viee and hiding places for crooks and criminals. He wanted to see the wina rooms made as unattractive as possible, The board referred the communication back to the chisf and demanded that he make specific charges against the persons he must have had in mind, when he wrote the communication, one member femarking that they did not pro- pose to pay any attention to generalities of this nature. Up to date there have been 198 applications for licenses filed with the board. Fiftren have been granted. Thirty-two pro- tests have been filed agalnst saloon keepers, all for keeping thelr places open on Sunday. Three of these protests will be heard on Fri- day evening at 7:30. These are the protests against Thomas Foley on Douglas street, the Pabst place on Farnam street, and Dumpke’s place on South Thirteenth street. CHIEF GALLIGAN'S CAREER. Chlet Galligan, or *Jack,” as everybody calls him, was born in Taunton, Mass., in the year 1848. At the age of 3 years he moved with his parents to Chicago. When the war broko out, and while he was still a boy, he enlisted in the Ninth Iilinols cavalry, With which he served creditably during the entire struggle. At the close of the war he returned to his Chicago home, where he remained until 1867, when he came to Omaha and procured work at his trade in the Union Pacific shops. His career as a fireman began September 14, 1868, when he assoclated himself with the band of old-timers who manned Fire King No. 2, and for a long time pulled away at the handle of that exaggerated force pump. Along In November of 1870 this company purchased a steam engine, which was the proudest possession of the town, and Galligan was appointed stoker, a title which sounds small, but which, in those days, meant a great deal. Here he remained till, in 1872, }ho Union Pacific purchased a steam engine or the protection of their buildings and named it the Durant. This engine was sta- tioned at the shops and Jack Galligan was Tequested to act as engincer of the new ac- quisition. He accepted the position, but re. tained his place with the Fire King just the same, In 1874 the Omaha fire department had sumed shape, and Galligan was asked to act a8 chief. He recognized the honor paid him 8 the leading fire-fighter of the city and accepted the position, which he retained un- til the year 1877, when he retired from the service for one year. The next year he relurned to his vocation, and at the impera. tive request of the citizens and the fire de- partment took his place as chief and stayed there until 1882, when he retired for the sec- ond time. Ho stayed out this time for four years, until 1886, when he was again called” upon to fill the position which he is now about to finally relinquish, Jack Galligan was born a fire-fighter. The men who work under him recognized his authority and ability, and none of them hesi- tated to acknowledge that he has been first in promptness, first In energy and first in danger, To appreclate the work he did it is only necessary (o recall & few of the great fires durlng his time as chief. There was the great blaze at the Boyd packing house, four miles away, where the flames had such a start and where $198,000 worth of property was Jeopardized and $72,000 worth saved; the Tler fire in January, 1876, in the block be- tween Farnam, Harney, Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, where the whole city was threatened and only one story was consumed; the clevator company fire in 1881, where, in 8pite of the Inflummable material, one-third of & $90,000 property was saved, and the Ish & McMahan fire next to Milton Rogers, when the heart of the city was again threatened and the damage was nominal, There were other fires, however, under Gelligan's jurisdiction where more than prop- erty was at stake—among them the fire at Bixteenth and Howard streets, where the lives of dozens of people huug in the bal- ance and only the prompt action of the de- partment saved them. Just across the street, & year afterwards, was a similar case, where the ladders brought down the tenants of the third floor, At the Esmond hotel fire the en tire lower stories were in flames and the smoke was pouring upwards when the lad- ders arrived. Other notable fires at which Jack was in command were the Cont nental, the Shiver'ck Carter White Lead works, Paxton hotel an- nex, Hohn Sash and Door company’s build- dng and the Fifteenth Street theater, i, v amusing stories might be told of (he hlel's early expericnce,” Thire was a time, several Seard ago, when, after a fire, the Biilire"department spent thrice the time of extingulshing the fire in refilling the cisterns, and then, duriug the old volunteer days, what times the boys had in springing the boxes for the fun of witnessing an exhibition run.

Louis Not in Favor with Omaha Populists, SCHEME TO RUIN THE PEOPLE'S PARTY Say the Head of a Mammoth Colored Man 18 Plainly Visible—Bryan and Taubeneck Scored—Some Local Asper- slons Cast. A number of the rank and file of the Omaha populist party last night attended a meeting In Knights of Labor hall and gave publicity to their expressions relative to the free silver conference which is to be held In St. Louis on December 28 and 29, They varied the monoteny by roasting Willlam Jennings Bryan, V. 0. Strickler, Mr, Tau- beneck and Senator Allen for encouraging this meeting, and designated the St. Louis gathering as a scheme to sell out the populist party to the advocates of free silver. Mr. Bernine was selected as chairman of Breen acted as secre- tary. It was stated that the object of the St. Louls conference was to make the free silver question predominate in the next gen- eral election, but those present were not in favor of this, and plainly said that the silver question, while it was one of the planks in their national platform, was of only minor importance, and the banking problem, government ownership of railway, telegraph and telephone lines, as well as other needed reforms, were of much more Importance to the common people than any special fad like free silver. Mr. Kelsey said that he thought it was a scheme of Bryan and others to formulate a platform for the populists and make a combination with the free silver men, ignoring the real reforms advocated by the populists, and unite the sflver men, regardless of party affiliations, to the disadvantage of the peopie’s party. The speaker sald that he knew that Mr. Tau- beneck had received a large number of re- monstrances against holding this meeting, but that the gentleman had seen fit to ig- nore all of them, and he supposed that it ould bo an attempt of the free silver demo- crats to swallow the people's party for their own benefit. He then read the planks of tho platform adopted by the national popu- list convention held in this city in 1892, after which the following resolution was adopted: olved, That we, members of the popu- ¥ in_convention assembled, enter our most earnest protest against any change in the Omaha platform, adopted at the peo- s party national convention in Omaha, and furthermore, believe that any 3 > to be made should be by a full dele- ation from all the states, duly qualified for that purpose. Mr. Bernine said that he had been to see Mr. Strickler, and the latter had told him that he was in favor of dropping all the planks in the platform, except that referring to silver, and that the gentleman was going to attend the St. Louls conference, Bernine said that he had had some doubts as to Strickler's sincerity in the populist cause, but now he had none, for no real populist weuld attend a meeting that had for its object the disruption of the people's cause, The populists were urged to organize for the next campaign, and to get every man into line. The democrats had been snowed under at the late contest, and he was sure that the common people wanted no more of democratic rule, so this would be a good opportunity for the populists to gain great strength. = Other speakers condemned the action of those concerned in the St. Louis meeting and hoped that it would prove to be a fail- ure. The resolution will be sent to Mr. Taubeneck, who will probably be chairman of the meeting, as will a number of protests trom populists in this stat I CHANCES FOR REFORM, BLUE HILL, Neb., Dec. 26.—To the Edi- tor of The Bee: On page 4 of The Bee of De- cember 19 T note two articles, viz: *‘Burns Struck the Keynote” and “‘Unrzasonable Freight Rates.” Burns theory is: “That no effective mu- nicipal reform can be looked for until all the necessary public conveniences and sup- plies of light, heat and water are owned and cperated by the cities for the cities and not for private gain.” Do you believe this the correct theory? I do, and have so believed for twenty years, I would carry it much beyond heat, water, light, eleciric motor, ete., and include public baths, reading rooms, halls for lectures. etc., members to pay monthly fees to cover cost, and others to pay something higher for occasional attend- anc Mr. Burns' theory was correct as to Omaha years ago, It is correct now, and will be correct when Omaha has 2,000,000 or more people. If this theory is correct as to Omaha, it is correct as'to the state of Ne- braska, and if correct as to Nebraska, Is also correct as to the United States of Amer- ica, and applies to all national monopolies, railroads, express companies, telegraph line: mines, etc., and is the only practical solution of the sugar, whisky and coal oil questions. The day of competition between corporations has passed. The syndicate, the trust, has come to stay in some form. To cheapen production and distribu- tion combination and organization Is the order of the day. The railroads will all go “under one hat,” same way with express companies, telegtaph lines, eic.; the watered stock goes in, too, in every one of them, until the people squeeze it out. The unreasonable freight rate article refers to the Brewer de- cision. His decision is a disgrace to a 15- year-old law student with six months' read- ing. But what can you expect? “The trail of the serpent 1s over it all” Our whole judicial system fs a disgrace to modern civil- ization, especially the federal courts, A man gets seven years for stealing $35 or $40 worth of second-hand clothes. A Mosher can get away with $1,000,000 and commit a hundred other crimes ‘and other rascalities and get five years nominally, because if The Bee had not been prowling ‘around he would never have seen the inside of the pen. He might lave continued his term out'in the Douglas county fail, living like a lord, had it not been for the stench raised by The Bee in un- covering the scandalous state of affairs in the Douglas county jail. The stench grew so fragrant that he was shipped to Sioux Falls, his choice, Even then he could have had his pick of twenty places had there been so many. On the Brewer decision T have this to say: What a set of d—d nincompoops the people are to go on year after year paying high fixed charges on railroad stock, borrowed at from thres to four times its value. The water can be squeezed out just as easily as the Nebraska legislature squeezed the water, cte., out of the state banks. Why the Union Pacific rallway, the B, & M. and Elkhorn Valley have been perfect vampires. Ne- braska ought to be prosperous and contain over 2,000,000, yes 8,000,000, of happy, pros- perous and contented people, Nebraska is like a sucked orange—they have sucked the life's blood out of her from the jump. To sayathat the people cannot #queeze the water out of rallroad bonds, to say they cannot bugirallroads at value and run them for the peuple, is nonsense, Pay fixed chargesion one part stock and two parts water, and .make millionaires of their owners in a few, years besides. They can remedy these evila if they are capable of self-government. ) Looking at our railroad system, trusts, Judicial system, legislative system, 1 begin sefously fo doubt the abil- ity of our people to govern themselves. They are a lot of suckersand likely to go to polit- fcal hades just as thay have always done. 1. 0. MARTIN, CURRIER U LDS A TALE, Admita Short Welghing, but Wants the Blame Placed Where It Belongs. Ex-County Agent Charles B. Currier was seen yesterday in regard to the matter of his dismissal from the position he formerly held without having been given a hearing by the county commissloners, Mr. Currier sald: “So far as short weight Is concerned, T am sorry to say, it is a fact, but I was not aware that such a thing was being done until the rumor reached me that such was the case. 1 have always in- structed the men who did the welghing to give full weight, but for some reason or other they neglected following my instructions and how many short weight packages were sent out, I am unable to say. I think a great many of the short weight packages were put up through carelessness, or the men Who put them up were incompetent, or did not care to take any pains in weighing up the goods correctly. On last Saturday morning I thought 1 would see what was the reason these short weight packages were being put up, and stepping back to the counter where the weighing is done I found that the scales, which were then being used in welghing three-pound packages of oatmeal, were set four ounces short of what they should be and the small packages were belng weighed on the platform of the scales instead of fn the scale pan, which is the proper place for weighing small articles, My work was so great that I had negiected looking after this part of the work as 1 should have done, “At last Saturday's meeting of the com- missioners I had a communication before that body, asking the members to Investigate the matter and place the blame where it be- longed, as I was positive If an investigation was had it would show just how far 1 was to blame, if at all. When the resolution which authorized my dismissal was intro- duced at the meeting Mr. Livesey made a motion to have the matter laid over until an investigation could be made, but thero being no second 1 was dismissed without a hearing. One of the commissioners advised mo not to have an investigation and sald that Mr. Baysdorfer, the man who does most of the weighing, would swear that he had received instructions from me to welgh up packages short weight. I have never given any such instructions, and Mr. Bugbee, my assistant, will bear me out in my state- ment. Al I want is a fair investigation, in order that the blame may be placed where it rightfully belongs.” ol I NEW THEATER A CERTAINTY. Will Occupy the Old Herald Site—Work to Begin In Thirty Days. According to plans just completed, a theater building and a row of store buildings will soon occupy the block at the south- west corner of Fifteenth and Harney streets, the site of the old Herald building. J. A. Markel, John A. McShane, W. A, Paxton and others, comprising the Inter- state Tmprovement company, which owns the ground, have decided to place upon it the improvements mentioned. Architects Lawrie and Fischer are at work on the blue prints. The theater will be a popular-priced play- house, It will front on Fifteenth street, running eighty feet north from the alley and 132 feet to the rear, It will be three stories high. The remaining space to the north, 50x132 feet, will be filled by a row of store uildings, with a public hall overhead, being two stories high. On the whole, about $100,- 000 will be expended. Mr. Markel says.that work will be begun in thirty days and willsbe pushed forward as rapidly as possible: L Hrought £ack for Trial.
