Very re: fully, dward B In reply the 'y How- to in- from the BLLIS L. BIERBOWER, ALONZO B. HUN' . Recéivers. Your committee considers this an unquali- fled agreement on the part of the re- ceivers to do the work as authorized by the order of court. Since receiving the agreement your committee has had several conferences with the receivers, and finds that in March last, when this' propositio was first e 1 into, the receivers wrote to ni ent pipe manufactu asking for prices on pipe, delivery of same to be made from April 1'to November 1; and that as the proposed agreement fell through at that time, the order for this pipe was cell Also, that after the arder w: is sued, giving them permission to expend this money, on July 6, they got an estimate from {heir englneér as to the amount of pipe of various sizes required, under the map and specifications approved by the city engineer and_concurred in by themse algo, that on July 12 they again wrote to th different pipe manufacturers, askiag for the prices on pipe, delivery to be made from August 1 to October 15. Your committee is firmlv of the opinion that the recefvers of the wacer works com- pany have been acting in good faith during this entire controversy: and, under all the eircumstances surrounding the situation, and taking into consideration, first, the absolute need and necessity of 'this improvement, and, secondly, the crying demand for giying the ‘unemployed of the city work, your com- mittee recommends the payment of the money and the adoption of this report. 1. B, HOWELL, HAFDAN JACOBSEN, F. B. KENNARD, W. J. CONNELL, Special Committee. KENNARD'S MINORITY REPORT. Kennard brought in a minorit report, In which he contended that the le‘ter from the recelvers did not mein anything at a’l. What they “intended” to do was no guarantee of what they weuld do. He summed up h's ob- Jections to the payment of the money as fol- fows: Wirst, by the payment of this $85,000 to the American Water Works company the city of Omaha waives all claims for damages for past and present nonperfc of con- tract, Second, the suit now pending in the United States court for the purpose of determining the rights of the city of Omaha under its cou- tract with the water works company will be dismissed at the expence of the city and the city will be forever thereafter estopped from making any claim against the water works company for fifteen years' violation of its contract If this $85,000 is pald over to the water works company by this counell. Third, If thle $55,000 is paid over to the _recelvers it Is within the power of any of the litigants in the case of the Farmers Loan and . Trust company agalnst the American Water Works company and others to enjoin the use of this money for the purpose con- templated. The two reports were discussed at length by Howell, Kennard, Kmen', Me:cer and Hlmes, and City Attorney O nuell urged the adoption of the majority report, Ho sald t'at there was no question but that hy the puyment of the money the city would waive all cla'ms on ac eount of nonperformance of contract in the past, but he believed (hat the future was of more Importanee than the t and the best thing to be done was to take it for granted that the works company was acting in good faith and pay the money to be ex pendad on the mains The majority report was then adepted, Ket pard and Kment alone voting in the nega- tive.

Chaffee was yesterday transferred Harry G from Fort Omaha to the city fail, where ke Is confined on the charge of forgery. The omplaint on which Chaffee was arrested war filad by Arthur Briggs, who charges that Chaffee passed a forged check for $7 on him Briggs Is sure that Chaffee is the man, as he is personally acquainted with him. In addition to the forgery for which he was arrested, Chaffee is suspected of com- mitting three others. One of these papers was a chec for $7 which was pagsed on Browning, King & Co., another a check for $20 on the Boston store, and the third a check passed on a Council Biuffs busines firm. The cashier of Browning, King & Co., who took the check, was at the police station to see Chaffee, but was not able to identify him positively. Chaffee was arrested several days ago in Sioux City for deserting from Fort Robinson, While there he attempted to commit sulclde by taking poison, but did not succeed, He was turned over to the United Stites authori- and was_transiipeq to Fort Omaha. wriggs reported the fact that Cliaffee passed a forged check on him and cousequently Chaffee was turned over to the state authorities. Chaffee has been arrested several times for forgery, but heretofore the forged checks have always been taken up by friends and money gained from the victims paid back. ERAL RUGGLES IN OMAHA. a Tour of In- Visits His Old Post on | ection. Brigadier General George B. Ruggles, ad- jutant general of the United States army, yesterday visited his old regiment, the Sec- ond, at Fort Omaha, which he left more than thirty years ago. He called it visiting the regiment, though not an officer or a man who belonged to it then belongs to it now. But nevertheless the general finds something in Omaha that he can recognize, for he wa stationed here for seven years. He was tho first adjutant general of the Department of the Platte, his residence in Omaha covering the period between 1869 and 1876, when Gen- eral Augur was in command. General Rug- gles was transferred to the Department of Dakota just before the opening of the Sioux war of 1876, He has been away from Washington for six weeks, and Is neaf the end of his trip, for he will leaye Omaha this evening to go di rectly home. He has been making a tour of inspectjon of posts in the northern and western states, and particularly of those which have been built since his service in the west terminated and which he had not seen, and several of which are in territory he had never before visited. Of special in- terest to him, he says, was his visit to Fort Leavenworth, which he had not seen since he left that post to begin service in the civil wa When with the Second infantry he was its second lieutenant and adjutant. eral Rug- gles yesterday aiternoon also called at army beadquarters, He will today visit Fort Craok. e ew York Store, Big bargalns all day Saturday.

Hucksters Will Not B vantage Over Gurdeners. Hereafter the market gardeners and huck- sters who swarm on lower Howard street from early morning until noon each day will be kept strictly within bounds. Two officers were detailed yesterday morning to see that the ordinance regulating them is enforced The ordinance provides that the gardeners and hucksters shall be permitted to stand their wagons in the following district: The north side of Howard strest from a poi sixty-six feet west of Eleventh to Tenth street, the south side ot Howard street be- tween Tenth and Ninth, Ninth street south of Howard stre:t to the alley, Eleventh street north of Howard street to the alley. It also provides that they shall not take their stand until 4 o'clock in the morning. It has been the habit of the hucksters of an Ad- hucksters at_a low price in order to find a purchaser. The hucksters transfer the truck to their wagons, and from their favored posi- tions are abla to el it with a nice profit. This scheme will be broken up with the enforcement of the ordinance.

The work may yet start this fall,” R. S. Hall, who appears as attorney for a number of the owners of the equitable title to the property, makes the statement. ‘‘The owners,’ he added, “are losing thousands of dollars by reason of the vacancy of the lot and cannot afford to allow it to lie idle. The difficulty has been a legal one. The title has been in dispute and the owners were unwilling to erect a valuable building until the title was cleared. That is the reason the suit was brought to foreclose the 200,000 mortgage. They expect to sell the property under foreclosure this fall. Some of the men interested are very wealthy and will ether buy or form a syndicate and erect a building at cnce.” 22 ¥ Why George Struck Mrs. Polinsky. Mrs. Polinsky, who lives at Tenth and Izard streets, appeared before Judge Berka yesterday and wanted George Brown arrested for assault and battery and calling her bad names. George has won the affections of a friend of Mrs. Polinsky's named Dora Dobey. Dora is the daughter of a Mrs. Brown, who lives in the same ighborhood. Mrs, Brown heard of George's intention of marry- ing her daughter through Mrs. Polinsky, and it then the trouble began. George thought was none of Mrs. Polinsky's business w! he married and objected to her circulating the news among Dora's relatives. He not only told Mrs. Polinsky what he thought, but, it is alleged, struck her. —————— Would Have Spared Shoemaker, About two months ago the residence of City Prosecutor Shoemaker, 2544 Davenport street, was entered and a revolver and a pair of shoes were taken, As the prosecutor had to walk down the next day in slippers he has had a grudge against the burglar ever since, and he determined to find out yester- day whether Wiman Saunders was the burg- lar. Sauniers asked if he had entered the house at the address and after thinking awhile he answered that he had. When he was told it was Shoemaker's house he said “I didr't know it was yo' house.
