Webster of Omaha, who has represented the Omaha Bridge and Ter- Railway company in all its negotiations with the city council. Mr. Webster was sur- prised when he noticed by the papers that something had been done which might result in taking away the franchise of the company on Union avenue. He did not know he had to file a written acceptance of the new or- dinance, and sald he was sure there was no such provision In the copy which was shown him. Alderman Brewlck sticks to his beliet timt the reason Webster did not accept the ordinance was not that he did not know that he had to, but because he did not want to. In the ordinance passed a few months ago, extend- ing the time in which the company should lay a line of rallway down Union™ avenue, an addition was made to the original dinance providing that at any time councll should order the Unfon Pacific to bring its side of the street to grade the Terminal people should do the same thing. The east side, occupied by the Terminal company, is now fully up to grade, with the exception of two blocks, which are in conformity with the Union Pacific tracks at the lower end. That, according to Mr. Bre- wick, was what stuck In the craw of the Terminal company and led them to overlook the acceptance of the new ordinance, while at the same time they accepted the priv- lleges extended to them under the new ar- rangement.

White, formerly of th city, for Insanity. As already stated, Mrs White was taken to Hamburg by her sister, Mrs, Sarah C. Taylor, to b ated at home, in preference to being sent to an Insane hos pital. The seighbors began to complaln about her being kept there, and it was at the r quest of the ~ounty attorney of Page county | that the insane commissioners of this county ordered her taken to Clarinda and dispatched the deputy sheriff to take her in charge. When Goodwin arrived on the scene he en- countered the strongest kind of opposition from Mrs. Taylor and had to beat a hasty retreal. Mrs. lor had secured the services of an attorney, who served him with a notice that if he tried to take Mrs. White into c tody he would have him enjoined and then arrested for contempt of court. To Goodwin's eagle eye this did not look exactly regular but he ‘concluded to consult his superior offi- cer before doing anything that might have a tendency make trouble. He accordingly stepped to a telephone and called up Sherift Hazen. When that officlal heard the story he at once told Goodwin to go ahead and take Mrs. White into custody unless he was ac- tually served with a writ of injunction. pdwin also consulted the Page county torney, who told him the same thing, and With ‘@ buoyant heart he went back to Mrs Taylor's house. But when he arrived there he found to his amazement that Mrs. Taylor had secreted Mrs, White and she could not be found. Goodwin thus found another snag across his path, and the telephone was again brought into requisition. At last accounts he had decided to camp right on the outskirts of Hamburg until the enemy surrendered.

Contractor Parker and Foreman Seligman have both been arrested. It was said at the scene of the disaster that the cause was un- doubtedly the overloading of the sixth floor with plaster and building material. Harry Alexander of the Alexander-Cham- berlain Electrical company, who was doing the electrical work in the building, said that his men had reported to him on Monday that wires that had been placed on the sixth floor were out of line, showing that the walls had already got out of plumb.
