During his term of employment he has had a chance to | study the signatures of his honor and A. C. Harding, one of the park commissioners. Last Saturday he was out on a quiet little jamboree, when he discovered that his bank account was running low. He accordingly made out a check for $10 on Officer & Pusey’s bank, payable to J. H. Cleaver, and signed Harding's name to it. He then en- dorsed Cleaver's name and that of F. C. Guelle, and took the check to John Coyle, saloon Keeper at 2040 Broadway, who gave him the money. The bank threw out the check as worthless, and yesterday Turtle was arrested on the charge of uttering a forged instrument, 5 Red Cedar Fence Ponta.

Selly Good for a Month, Selly Hough, whose spectacular attempt at suicide met with such an unhappy ending last Sunday morning in the city jail, was brought before Justice Walker In police court yesterday morning to answer to the charge of disturbing the peace. He had already be fined $16 for being drunk, and when the evi- dence in the new case was heard and the court learned how he had knocked down an inoffensive little fellow who was out for a | quiet jag, another fine of $25 and cost amounting in all to $33, was imposed. This means that Selly will have more than thirty days in which to sober up, and at the end of that time It is possible that he will be charged once more with malicious mischief for breaking in pleces the furniture of his cell.

Mayor Cleaver occupied the throne, and Aldermen Barstow, Brewick, Brown, Grahl, Green- shields, Rishton, Shubert and Sp#tman were in their accustomed places, while the space outside the railing was filied to overflowing with a band of citizens, A communication was read from J. R Webster of the Omaha Bridge and Terminal Railway company, in which he stated that he supposed that the ordinance granting an extension of time for spending $75,000 in public improvements was merely an amend- ment. to the original ordinance, and did 10t require a written acceptance. He sald he was willing to accept the ordinance, and sent his acceptance along with his communi- cation. The matter was referred to the committee of the whole. The bond of John Barhyte as was approved. Victor Jennings was granted permission to engage in the public weighing business 0. Shepard was granted permission to en- gage in the saloon busimess at 503 Broad- way. The main_ business of the evening then came up. The space behind the railing was occupled by a host of Upper Broadway citi- s, who had come to see that the ordi- drawn up by W. A. Mynster to com- pel the motor company to run its Omaha traing around the Pierce street loop had a fair show. Among them were W. H Bradley, W. A. Maurer, George R. Wheeler, Charles' D. Walters, W. A. Mynster, W. B. Runyan, W. H. Smith, J. C.” DeHaven, C. H. Huber, J. Leutzinger, 8. S. Keller, J. Vavra, John Clausen, V. Jennings, George S. Davis and C. A. Beebe. On the other side there were G. F. Wright, +E. W. Hart, Lucius Wells, W. G. Sawyer, E. H Mertfam, F. R. Davis and W. W. Loomls, who were Interested in seeing that the ef- forts of the eastenders were frustrated, Mynster read the two ordinances. The first provided a license fee to be paid by all street railways, a fee to be paid for each car before a wheel turned. The second ordinance provided that the motor company should run Omaha trains around the Plerce street loop every day, at least every other train belng run In that way. It cited the fact that the opera- tion of the company's trains on Plerce street was not permitted by the sanction of the city, but by the consent of the property holders, which had been secured on the rep- resentation that Omaha trains would be run there. Shubert's motion to refer both ordinances to the commiitee of the whole was carried, Barstow, Brown, Brewick, Shubert and Spet- man voting in favor of it, while Grahl, Greenshields and Rishton voted against it because they wanted them passed forthwith Mynster made some remarks in which he re- ferred to the alleged injustice done the east end property ownere, and s2id it was a nusiance to have the motars bunched up at the corner of Broadway and Pearl streets, as they are now. 1If the motor company could carry picnic parties from Omaha into Fairmount park he did not see why trains could not be run regulary, an opinion the logic of which was evidently appreciated by the enthusiastic east enders, George F. Wright took the floor in behalf of the motor company, and said there was never any contract between the company and the Plerce street people, as claimed, and that he would be able to show it when the proper time came. After considerable dis- cussion, in which the crowd outside the rail- ing manifested its interest by ehieers or hisses, according to the circumstances, the whole mat- ter was postponed until the next meeting of the committee of the whole, tomorrow evening. 3 City Attorney Hazelton made a report with reference to the right of way along Indian creek for a closed sewer. If there ever were any deeds conveying the creek bed to the city the deeds were lost, for he had spent considerable time looking through the city records and was unable to find them. The original plat showed a strip twenty-eight feet wide, but on talking ‘with exaCity Engineer Tostevin he found that that official had made the line on the plat because the creek had attained that width, and there did not seem to be any evidence of title in the city behind that. The few deeds that Hazel- ton had found contained no statement of the width of the strip conveyed to the city. Be- fore anything should be done he though it ought to be decided whether the creek bed should be filled in and the property owners have the land thus formed, or the city should have the right of way for a street or an alley. Engineer Etnyre thought all the ei wanted wis an easement for the under- ground sewer, for it would be cheaper to settle the difficulty by giving the abutting property owners the land. Spetman did not think so, but said the city council ought to re- tain its rights, At this juncture it looked for a few min- utes as though T. J. Evans, who has jumped into considerable notorlety through his offer to turn Indian creek into Big lake east of the city for $40,000, and put up a bond of $40,000 to insure his carrying out the con- tract, might be called upon to show whether he was bluffing or meant business. Mayor Cleaver called attention to the proposition that had been made and thought that while Evans might be visionary, it would be a good patrolman | plan to pin him down to his propostion. Bar- stow inclined to the same opinion, but in the mass of discussing that was indulged in the mayor's plan fell by the wayside and no action was taken. Alderman Brewick sald that something ought to be done to stra'ghten out the public records so that something could occasionally be found when it was looked for, and on his motion the city attorney and auditor were instructed to employ, some one, if they thought best, to do the’ work. Jennie Linds Get an Ovation. The best dressed and most critical audience of the season gathered at Grand Plaza last evening to greet the Jennie Lind quartet, which made its initial bow at that time. Repeated encores and the demonstrative en- thusiasm of the audience left nothing to be desired by the young ladies. By the time the second number had been sung the audi- ence was ready to give them an ovation They were called back five times after the first number, and it was a wise foresight | that put them on the program for only four | numbers, for the program would have been interminable had 1t contained the usual ten or a dozen numbers. The audi- ence was delighted, and the young ladies proved a splendid attraction. The quartet is composed as follows: Miss Jane Addy, first soprano; Miss Marle McKenzie, second soprano; Miss Stella Barden, first alto; Miss Helene Culien, second alto. Dalbey's band also furnished orchestral musie, Zach evening at 8:30 o'clock the Omsha Guards give an exhibition drill, lasting half an hour. None finer than the Hardman Baby Grand.

M- Cracken said they lived in Pottawattamie county, but on belng pressed to give his postoffice address he retired for a few minutes' consultation with his bride, at the conclusion of which he came back and after #ome parley admitted that they both came from Washington county, Nebraska. Further questioning elicted the information that Miss Pritchard was but 16 years of age, too young by two years to be given the legal permission to wed without her parente’ consent. The disconsolate couple left for their home and the marriage record bears the inscription in red ink, “awaiting further developments.” New Suits Col e Birney C. Wooley, as administrator for the estate’ of George P. Leamon, filed a petition in the district court yesterday in a suit against the United States Masonic Benevolent association for the face of an unpaid policy on Leamon’s life. The policy was issued July 9, 1894, and a little over three months later Leamon died. Although the associatfon has been furnished with proofs of his death, it has refused to pay the amount due, which is $1,036.30. A judgment has already been se- cured against the association in the distriet court at Yankton, 8. D., in the same case. Julia Flynn, executrix for the estate of James Flynn, commenced a sult yesterday against J. J. Shea for the sum of $754.49.

Kicks on Cut Raten. Judge Smith I8 to hear this morning the trial of the case of Fisher against the town of Oakland, in which Fisher, a plumber of that burg, is trying to have the town of Oakland and 1. N. Gardner enjoined from extending the water works unless he is let in on the deal and given a chance to divide profits. Some time ago an extension of the water works was desired, but the town had no money with which to make it. I. N. Gardner, a private citizen, thereupon came to the frant and let loose of $1,600 of h's own money, which was used in laying new pipes. Fisher had done all the work of making connections until Gardner took hold, and when he heard that another plumber, with a less pronouncel appetite, had been given the job, at a reduc- tion of $2 per connection, he was wroth. In the present injunction suit the town au- thorities claim, first, that Fisher had no contract giving him the exclusive right to tap the mains, as he claimed, and second, that the town did not own the extension, but Mr. Gardner, who had paid for all the work and was consequently at liberty to do whatever he pleased with the pipes.

Hawley has just returned from Chicago, where he has been for the last few weeks examining the drainage canal In an attempt to determine whether the construction of this fmprovement fs likely to lower the waters of the great Jakes and whether also It Is likely appreciably to divert traflic from the east down the Mis- sissippl. Mr. Hawley has presented his re- port to his business assoclates and to the committee of the Produce exchange and other associations who are about to begin the sam- paign for the appropriation of $9,000,000 for the Erie canal. The most important Information given by Mr. Hawley was an estimate ag to the prob- able effect upon the great lakes of the diver- sion of a great body Of water through this canal. His report was that there can be no question that an enormous quantity of water will be taken from Lake Michigan for the filling of this canal. The best estimates that he could obtain were that th's volume will be constantly equal to one-third that contained in the Missisgippi river above the mouth of the Missouri, cr three times that of the Ohio river. Mr. Hawley's report upon tNat the Chicago ship canal might serlously divert trafic from the Erle canal was very brief, for it is all a matter of conjecture. In Chicago it 1s looked upon as a certainty that considerable lake commerce will seek the sea through the Mississippi valley as soon as this anal Is completed. On the other hand, Mr Hawley says that fn the west it is thought that the canal would bring traffic to the Erie canal as well as take It away, and that new and distant localities on the west would use the canal as an economical route to the t CHICAGO, Aug. 13.—The commission pointed by (he sccretary of war to ascertain what_effect, if any, the big drainage canal would have upon the great lakes arrived here today. The commission is composed of General Poe, U. S. A. of Detroiti Gen- eral Buffner, U. 8. A., of Buftalo; and Major Marshall, U. 8. A, of Chicago. They were met by President Frank Winter of the drainage board, who accompanied them on a tour of inspection down the canal. From here the commission will g0 to take measure- ments on the St. Clair river, and then to Niagara. When the measurements have all been *taken the commission will make its report, It was appointed for this duty at the request of the Lake Carriers' assoclas tion, who feared navigation might be sericusly damaged by the water that will be drained from the lakes by the great canal when it shall have been completed. BY THE the suggestion ARBITRATED ALDERMAN. Gets in His Alderman Donohue of the Third ward of Wilkesbarre, Pa., put into practice a novel method of punishing wife beaters, which on Its first trial proved a great success, the hus- band and wife now being fully reconciled. Charles Dorsey, a colored man, was arrested and (aken before Donohue on compiaint of his wife, who charged him with knocking her down and kicking her. A black eye and sun- dry cuts and bruises were sufficient evidence to convince the alderman of Dorsey's guilt but as there are several children in the fam- ily he d!d not like to send the man to jail, as the wife was ill and could not support her- self. The alderman first tried would do. Calling Dorsey to onme side he gave him 50 cents, and told him to make friends with his wife and promise not to beat her any more. Then he left them alone but when he returned in half an hour the settlement had not taken place and the woman It seemed that Dorsey preferred going to jail to staying free and working for his family. This aroused the ire of Donohue and he called the negro into his rear office. Donohue is large and portly, but his handball play is famous, and despite his 220 pounds he is far from cumbersome. ““Take off your coat,” the alderman shouted to the negro. “Wha' fo', boss?" queried Dorsey, becoming alarmed. “Take ¢ff your coat,” again thundered Dono- hue, removing his own. The negro complied with some trepidation and many doubtful looks. 7 He was not kept long in suspense. As soon as Donohue threw his coat aside he sprang at Dorsey and knocked him down. As he arose he cuffed him right and left and knockéd him down again. The negro was shouting for mercy, but Donohue was deaf and blind to all but his purpose and kept at it.
