The injunction suit to restrain the city from Interfering with property on the corner of Ninth and Harney streets, a petition for which has been filed in the district cour Loulsa Boyd, will probably be up for trial mext Friday. The property in question has been talked of as a probable site of the cily ail and workhouse, for which it is proposgd 1o vote b The amended charter, if it passes the gauntlet of the leg ature, pro- yides that bonds not to exceed $100,000 may | voted for this purpose, The site is not referred to in the blll, but the general im pression prevails that the corner will be better suited for the byiamg than any olher sits hat has yet been mentioned The petition of Louisa Boyd states that she | has been In peacesble posse of the said | Foperty for eleven years and asks that the | itle of the city be quieted and that the land be glven to her. City officials deny the al-| legations in toto and gay that they are able to prove to the satisfaction of any court that the city is the owner of the prop and that no one clse has a claim to it, particularly Loulsa Boyd. The plaintiff has lived upon it since 1883, but the matter has been brought to the attention of t cour before and each time the city has come out victor. In 1884 the courts decided that the title of | the city to the property was clear and that | Louisa Boyd was living upon the same as a | tenant. A judgment was rendered against | her and she was ordered to vacate, but no | welt of execution was issued. In the fo!

Again a decision was given in favor of the city, to the effect that the title of the city was clear and that Loulsa was only a tenant at the suffrance of the city. The case was ap- pealed to the district court and the finding of the lower court was afirmed. All the time, however, since ‘she first settied on the property Louisa has remained in possession. In each case an order was issued to remove hereelf and her chattels from the ground, but in_no case was it executed. Such s the statement of the city officlals As the land was not needed for any purpose Louisa was allowed to remain in quiet pos- session, but only as a tenant and only so long as the city would permit. It is sald that the order of the court is still effective and that a writ of execution can be en- forced to oust the woman from the property.

Now, If there is no asphalt but Trinidad that makes a good pavement, let them come here and see the pavement in Los Angeles and other cities in southern California, then Oakland, Alame Berkeley, all of which have no other pavement. San Fran- clsco has miles of it, and where the grades aro not too heavy they lay nothing else. Kearney street, one of the main streets of tho city, has Just been paved with it on ac- count of the old pavement being torn up to lay electric street car tracks in place of the old horse cars, and the property holders in- sisted on asphalt. Of course the material used is called bituminous rock, but it is asphalt mixed with sand, and where they find bituminous rock they always find asphait springs. The pavements last here from eight to ten years, and are fully as good, if not better than any asphalt laid in Omaha or other eastern citl The objection to California asphalt {s made elther from ignor- ance or from tome sinister motive in my opinion. 1 hore some other asphalt beside Trinidad will be tried in Omaha, for the beefit of the taxpayer G. H. Interesting play, good company, immense business and John a great surprise. This has been the report in every city where John L. Sullivan's new play, “A True American,” has made its appearance. People were in- clined to take Mr. Sullivan's adoption of the stage as a joke at first, but hi forts to become a painstaking a recognition. In the part of John Desmond Mr. Sullivan is said to display an order of talent unlooked for. His manly figure and handsome face lls for it a verilo force of acting little sus- a4 hitherto. While avolding the absurd featuring of some organizations, the glove contest in the last act is by no means a mere detail. It is then that “Richard is himself again’” and the audience have a chance to howl themselves hoarse over the strength and physical devel- opment of the man who held the champion- ship of the world for twelve years, As to his acting, Mr. Sullivan has gone to work with true grit to make himself a posi- tion in the theatrical profession, and, from all accounts, is succceding beyond all expecta- tions and_should meet with overwhelming success during his four-night engagement at the Empire, commencing with Sunday mat- inee, January 13, —— THE DIRECT SOUTHERN ROUTE sincere ef- T s00h won Via tho Rock Istand—Shortest Line and Fastest Time.

The upper crust of the society of the little town of Papillion is all torn up. For more than fifteen years P. H. Ayer and his wife have resided there, raising a daugh- ter, Bertha, who has been the apple of their eye. Bertha is 20 yvears of age and fair to look upon and for a number of years she has been the belle of the little city, having had admirers by the score, Something like a year ago she became engaged to a prominent young man of the town and about this time Charles L. Hoover laid siege to her heart, declaring that he would outwit his.rival. The suit which was pressed by Hoover was looked upon with favor by Miss Bertha, though her parents opposed his coming to the house, and upon sundry and divers occasions ordered him to close the deor from the outside. Thls con- tinued for some time and clandestine meetings were frequently held. Sunday, however, and Hoover the climax was reached, 'and todey Bertha Ayer is Mrs. Charles L. Hoover. Saturday night Hoover visited the Ayer residence, knocked at the door, and when the same was opened by Roy W. Ayer, brother of Miss Bertha, an inter- esting engagement followed. There was a contest. Hoover was knocked down, dragged out on the step, and the door locked. This, however, did not prevent him from carrying out the scheme which he and Miss Bertha had concocted. Miss Bertha read her mother a lecture during the evening, and then went 10 bed, declaring that if she could not marry" the man of her choice, she would live and Qe an old maid. Subsequent developments, however, are conclusive that Bertha had no fntention of remaining an old maid for any great length of time, Sunday morning Miss Ayer was a little $low in arising from her couch, and did not $it at the breakfast table with the rest of tho members of the family. Instead, she arose, remained in her room, made a careful tolet, packed her best wearing apparel and some’ of her jewelry fnto a grip and then eame down to breakfast. Shortly after breakfast a carriage was driven up to the front door of the Ayer res) dence, Hoover jumped out, ran up the steps a rapid gait'and rang the front door bell, one answered the ring, and after waiting there for a few moments e returned to the carriage. To watch the proceedings all the members of the family, except Miss Bertha, gathered in the front room, and while they were s0 engaged she took time by the fore- lock, picked up her little valise, which had hitherto been packed with her clothing, and beat a hasty retreat to the rear door, ran around the house and jumped into the car- rlage, Hoover following, and the two were whisked away at a rapid gait. They drove to the depot and boarded the Burlington train, which just then pulled in, and de- parted for ‘Council Bluffs, where that afternoon they were made one. Roy W. Ayer, the brother, was in the city yesterday and 'said that his parents vigorously posed the marriage. The daughter had made her own bed and- that she would have to lie in it. He also said that she had treated her parents in a shameful manner and that she would not be allowed to re- turn home. i With a steady fucrease in its production for the past 40 years, Cook’s Extra Dry Im- perial Champagne now takes the lead, OMAHA AND GO FAST EXFPRESS, ‘Take the Chicago, For Chics sleeper Omab; ing wnkee & St. Paal Ry. 0 and all points east.

Chief of Police Seavey received a letter yesterday morning from Mrs. §. H. Hutchins of Denver asking him to locate and detain her husband whom she heard was either in Omaha or Councll Bluffs. "Mr. Hutchins is believed to be suffering from a temporary attack of insanity, caused by the escapade of his daugh- ter. Social circles of Denver recelved a rude shock some time ago by the sudden marriage of Miss Gertrude Hutchins to Clar- enco W. Clark, an alleged bicycle champion, on November 13. Clark and the girl are al- leged to have been acquainted for only two days before the nuptial ceremony was per- formed without the consent of her parente. Clark was at about that time under suspicion of being the man who stole Corbett's pugilis- tic championship diamond belt, valued at $10,000. He was detained by the Denver officers, and the parents of Miss Hutchins ry effort to have the marriage an- nulled, but without success, and the girl is id to have clung fo her husband in spite of parenta) opposition. Mr. Hutchins took the matter very much to heart and brooded over the affair until his friends feared that he would go insane. One day last week he wandered away from home and for a few s all trace of him was lost. On Saturday Mrs. Hutchins received word from a former acquaintance that her husband had been sesn near the transfer depot in Council Bluffs and that he boarded a train for Omaha, She im- mediately notified the cfficers, and it is alleged that Mr. Hutchins was seen in this city Sun- day, wandering around in an aimless man- ner. In the letter to Chief Seavey Mrs. Hutchins wants the officers to investigate into her husband's condition of mind and if he is suffering from mental disturbance she wants him arrested and held here until she can arrive from Denver and_ take charge of him. The chief has detailed & detective to appre- hend the wandering man and is satisfied that he is still In this localit ———— DARK HORSES WON. Result of the Board of Trade Election Something of a Burprise. There was an election of three directors of the Board of Trade in this city yesterday. The result was a surprise. Between the hours of 3 and 5 in the afternoon Judges Henry Pundt, B, Davis and J. B. Kuehne received the votes and deposited them in the ballot box. Every slip of paper dropped in the slot for the first hour Indicated the election of Joe Connor, F. C. Ayr and James Walsh, Then some of L. D. Fowler's friends got into the battle and pushed him forward. It was an “‘open secret’’ that Joe Connor was slain in the house of his friends, because some of the Ayr-Walsh enthusiasts traded Connor and put up a combination of Ayr, Walsh and Fowler. Only one of these was clected. Suddenly, about one hour before the polls closed, a few dark horses were trotted out, They kicked large holes into the slate and smashed it to pieces. When the polls closed the judges announced the election of J, McCague, G. M. Nattinger and The defeat of the old guard was somewhat in the nature of the unexpected. The vote stood as follows: L. D.
