5 (ITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Portion of the Police Payroll Allowed by the Majority Members, CHIEF WHITE'S SALARY STILL CUT OUT Also All the Wages of the Twenty 0dd New Men, the Salary of the / Commissioners for August and Inclidentnls, “ Sixteen members of the city council put in an appearance last evening at the special imeeting called to consider the appropria- tlon eheet for the payment of the old Board of Fire and Police Commissioners and _the police force of Omaha. The program latd out by the majority was carried through strictly to the letter. The special policemen, whose pay roll amounted to $415, were cut out of their pay. A similar fate met the special detective bill for $166.66. In addition to this, Chief White was docked his August salary, amounting (o $160.66; the license board was refused pay- ment of the sum of $99.99; the Fire and Po- lice commissioners the sum of $193.33 for August, and a bill for $50 for expenses of the police department, with the other fliems stricken from the appropriation sheet, was re- Jected. This left the appropriation sheet for the payment of the salaries of the captain, four sergeants, ix detectives and the regular police, amounting to $5,643.88. So amended it passed. Tho councilmen who have thus far fought for paying the bills Incurred for police pro- tection of the city, with the exception of Burkley, who recorded a “no,” and Howell, who voted a "yes but protested, all con- cluded to withdraw opposition to the settled will of the majority on the theory, which Howell stated by saying “that a half loaf was better than none.”” Accordingly the vole stood: Ayes—Back, Holmes, Howell, Jacobsen, Jaynes, Kennard, Kment, Lemly, Mercer, Prince, Saunders, Taylor, Thomas, Edwards —15. Nays—Burkley—1. Barber's 1891 asphalt blll almost sailed through the council. Immediately at the close of the special session the council con- vened In regular session and took up for consideration ordinance No. 133. The Bar- ber bills were in the list. The committee repor's were submitted in reference to th's ordin:nce. A majority ra- port, signed by Jacobsen and Kenuard of the finance committee, recommended the rejection of nine small bills of the Klopp, Bartlet company, but left Barber's asphalt clalm un- touched. The Klopp-Bartlett bills were in« curred by the old fire and polies board. Con- tinulng its policy of paying none of these bills where possible, unless approved by the mew board, the majorily of the councl fa- wored the majority report. The vote stood 11 for to 5 against this report. Taylor signed the minority repyrt opposing the payment of $0,152.92 of ths Barber asphalt bills. Hardly had the major'ty report been adopted and the question reached the stage for submission to the city council of the ordinance when members seemed to first realize whete they were “at” and moved for a reconsideration in order to get the Barber bills back to the committee again. They were again_returned, along with the whole ordinance, leaving the matier as it was be- fore. Resolutions end appropriation ordinances having been made a special order of business for the evening, Saunders offered a resolu- tion sotting aside Thursday when the clty offices are to be closed and the city :m::llls allowed opportunity to visit the state alr. . It appears ‘that counterfeit Ak-Sar-Ben medals are being hawked about the streets Burkley offered a_resolution, which prevailed, instructing the city clerk to.issue no more licenses to sell badges except those of the real_brand. " Prince had a graveyard ordinance on his mind, which in spite of the approaching noise of the festivities, he insisted should be re- considered for the purpose of having it re- ferred to a committee. It pertains to the enlargement of Prospect HUI cemetery. The reference of the ordinance was made. A resolution was offered instructing the authorities to seo that the sidewalk at Dodge and Forty-fitth streets is repaired. —— HAYDEN BROS. Grent Sale of New York Store. This immense establishment started three months ago, when goods were cheapest ever known. In the face of a tremendous advance we purchated that splendid new stock at about 1 its actual cost. Do you wonder why we are selling so cheap? Can any bankrupt stock, no matter how old the goods may be, compete with such an extraordinary pur- chase? The goods were absolutely forced on us when all our fall goods were purchased and we are obliged to unload. Do you im- agine any bankrupt sale would dare name a price we cannot cyt {n two? Just watch the adyertisements and judge for yourself. See page b for particulars. HAYDEN BROS. —— THEY WANT THE ROAD.

The ‘bonds carried by a vote of 151 to 31.

Public sentiment ‘was overwhelmingly in favor of the road. ‘The contemplated line will connect with the Omaha line at Thirtieth street and Ames avenue, but is in no way connected with the ©Omaha company. ——— New Hot Weather Record. The weather took its inning yesterday in the carnival week festivities by making & new September record. In addition to a red hot sun which glared down upon the city an equally hot wind swept through the streets and over the prairies and withered everything that was to be withered. At noon the thermometer” had climbed up to 981, but during the afternoon the weather got an additional hump on itself, and be- tween 2 and 4 o'clock the thermometer regls- tered 102 degrees. This is the record of the year, and, furthermore, breaks all the records of September weather for the last twenty-four year oo oSt SO Ran Short ou Power. It was rumored all over the city yesterday afterncon that an accldent had occurrel on the street car line on West Leavenworth street and that a number of pzople had been hurt. There was nothing in the rumor of an accident, but seven or eight trains were stalled for some time during the hott part of the afternooa at the foot of the W of the Missourl Pacific track. Tney were held there, as the power was so weak that no more than one train was able to climb the hill at a time, ‘ e ——— Awarded yRICES MOST PERFECT MADE.

HAYDEN BROS., Selling out the New York Store Shoes. i o MIGHT MAKE THE FIGHT LIVELY, shoes, Durlington and Rock Isxland Ha String to Pull, CHICAGO, Sept. 17.—The action whiech, it 1 alieged, is proposed by the Southern Pacific in lessening its train service from Ogden to San Francisco with a view of forcing as much traffio as posible over the Sunset route will, it persisted in, result in the livellest kind of a fight for the California business. The Rock Island and the Burlington, both of whom would be shut out by this act'on, say that they have no intention of going out of the through business to California, no mat- ter what the Southern Pacific may attempt. It they are shut out of their connections at Ogden they will in all probobility not only reduce rates, but make an alliance with the Atchison and deliver business to it at Kan- sas City. The Atchison road would be a distinct galner by any trouble that would cause the Rock Island and Burlington to deliver passengers to it, and it would be more than glad to see some such arrange- ment go into effect. The railroad officials quote Vice President Stubbs as their author- ity for the assertion that the Southern Pacific is contemplating the reduction in train sery- ice, and the strong denial of President Hunt- ington leaves them in a fog as to what the intentions of the Southern Pacific really are, et iy New Through Line to St. Paul.

Amen, City—Dear Sir: 1 have Just returned from a delightful trip to Or- chard Homes. If thers is »ny spot In the world that should be christened the “‘Garden Spot of the World": Orchard Homes Is the place. Beautifully situated, high and dry, with soll unsurpassed. in richness, it is adapted to the growth of all kinds of fruit and vegetables, both lgrge and small, and its climate is equal to that of “Sunny Italy.”” I prédict a future for Orchard Homes that will astonish the people of-Omaha and set every eye looking that way. 1 never saw better looking vegetables than I saw while In the south. The fruit was simply immepse. I shall never forget the sight that met my eyes at the first orchard I entered, the trees actually bending to the ground under their heavy burdens. I picked and brought home pears that weighed one pound each. 1 have specimens of this fruit at my house and will be pleased to show them to any one who will call. 1 went over evéry acre of Orchard Homes, seeking for all the disadvantages, but I found that the advantages would more, far more, than offset them. | Surely it is a golden op- portunity for a man of moderate means to get a good home and live an independent lite. I wikh to correct one errer with regard to the people of the south: If any one thinks they are lazy, shiftless, sitting round whittling pine sticks they are very much mistaken, for the people there are strong, healthy, sharp- witted, good-natured, true to their word and glve a hearty welcome to the people of the north and west who come among them to settle; So well pleased was I with the south that I purchased 40 acres in Orchard Homes, The land I bought s a portion of the his- torical plantation owned and occupled for- merly by the family of ex-Governor Brown. I intend to make my future home there. I also examined the markets and found that everything a man raisyd could be readily turned into cash at a geod profit. I found Orchard Homes all clalmed for it and the titles perfect. Respectfully yours, R. A. MINER, 2218 Spruce St., City. PETER HARD, THEY SAT U Democeratic Con tee Meets nand Fixes a Date for the Convention, The democratic county central committee met at Harry Miller's office in the Board of Trade building at 3 o'clock yesterday after- noon and epent several hours in preparing for the work of the coming convention. There was a large attendance of delegates and there were several questions up for con- sideration. - The first was the discussion of the advisability of allowing proxies in the committee meeting. This matter was discussed for a long time and was finally settled by a resolution allowing the proxies, provided the men holding them would vote as the principals would in case they were present. There were three proxy holders in the committes meeting, and two of them withdrew, refusing to be bound by the resolution. The third spent some time with the committee and then found that he did not care to take the responsibility of committing his principal on matters that were belng discussed, and so withdrew, leaving thirty-one members of the committee present, Soon after the proxy matter had been dis- posed of Peter W. Birkhauser introduced a resolution, providing that the call to be issu should provide that mone but democrats be nominated by the convention. Some man asked for an explanation of the resolution and that was the opportunity Peter wanted. He started out on a tirade, demouncing the democrats who favored a _monpartisan movement this fall and wanted the committee to prepare against being side- tracked by any fssues that did not have the A. P. A. democratic trade mark blown in the bottle. But that's as far as Peter got. A motion to table the resolution shut oft his harangue and the resolution was shelved by a good big majority 1t was finally decided to hold the conven- tion on the afterncon of Saturday October 5. The primaries will be held on Thursday October 3. The convention will select dele- gates to the judiclal convention and will nominate candidates for tle county offices. TOOK THEIR FRIENDS BY SURPRISE r. MceCord Quietly n Omuha. The soctal sensation of yesterday was the an- nouncement of the marriage of Miss Emma Crandell of this city and Mr. George S. Mc- Cord of Pueblo, Colo. The ceremony was performed at high noon by Rev. T. J. Mackay at his residence, in the presence of Mr. Giles F. Fllley of St. Louls and Mrs. John Mec- Connick, a sister of the bride, acting as the witnesses. The unheralded marriage of Miss Crandell and Mr. McCord seems to have been a sur- prise not only to their friends, but also to themselves. They have known one another for something like a year and a half, but only thelr most intimate friends were aware that they were engaged to one another. The two young people saw a great deal of one another’s company during the past sum- mer, when Miss Crandell spent some wecks in the mountains of Colorado. Last week Mr. McCord formed one of a party, including Miss Anderson and Mr. Spratlin, who came down to Omaha to take in the fair festivities as the guests of Miss Jessie Dickinson. This visit seems to have given the young people the long desired opportunity, which they seized so suddenly and so quietly that even the hostess was unaware of what was taking place until the news was broken by handing her the marriage certificate. Miss Emma Crandell was one of Omaha's most attractive and promising buds. She was counted on to form one of the bevy of debutantes who are to make the coming social season memorable for its gaieties. She is the daughter of Mr. George T.Crandell, and has a host of friends who were prepar- ing to welcome her into the soclety circle. The groom is a brother of Mr. W. H. Me- Cord of Omaha, and formerly lived in St. Joseph, Mo. He is at present in business in Pueblo, where the couple will later make thelr home. They left last night to visit Mr. McCord's parents in St. Joseph. el A. P. A, and the Negro. OMAHA, Sept. 16.—To the Editor of The Bee: I have just received & copy of a news- paper that I have waited for for a quarter of a century. The Nebraska Watchman makes its bow and is launched on the sea of Omaha journalism. Many attempts have been made by the colored race to establish a journal creditable to a cause and demands as just as theirs, but until now they have not been equal to the emergency. And so I hail the Watch- man with delight. The light is breaking. Many years ago my native countrymen could'nt understand why I espoused the cause of the “nigger.” How could 1 do less? I sought for liberty and freedom for myself, Could I deny to others the right I claimed for myself? I hope I will never be found €0 inconsistent. But what say you Oberalls, Stephensons and Bells, What say you about tle conduct of Ricketts? Like Jullet, blistered be my tongue for mentioning Ricketts' name. He a colored leader of his pepple. Pah! He, the catspaw of the A/ P. A. In the last legisla- ture, the tool of prescription against those who' poured out thelr blood like water that he and his might-be free. Does the colored man, as represented by Rickeits, endorse race and creed hatred? Can the colored man lend himself to the schemes that would make him as great am.enemy to human freedom as the devil himselt? 1 have had some sympathy with the colored people in the past: Their cause bas been mine for twenty-efght years.” When they are free I am fre But If they endorse Ricketts end the “dervishes!’ I must conclude that the colored people have not yet learned what true freedom means. 1 will be plain, sir. It the colored ‘‘couneil” {s what it Is repre- sented to be, Ricketts and it should again be “picking cotton in the lowlands low.” But the Watchman promises better things. I want to hear from Oberall, Smith, Franklin and Thelr silence is now criminal to their race. The Watchman & in its Notes: “It is sald that the Roman Catholic order of the Most Blessed Trinity has redeemed 200,000 sl ce It began its work In Africa.” That is all right; keep on organizing ‘“‘coun- olls of the “order” that says all white males are eligible.

Five Persons Injured, One of Them it is Thought Fatally. ROCKFORD, Ill, Sept. 17.—Lightning struck the Holsington church, a few miles east of this city, while special services were being conducted, last evening, and but for a premonition of danger on the part of the pastor would have doubtless killed many of the congregation. As it was the bolt only injured a few, as follows: Mrs, Johnson, badly burned, will recover. M Henry Stanley, severely burned, re- covery doubtful. ~ Two children, unknown, badiy shocked, Mrs. Darwin Whitney, badly burned. The pastor saw a heavy starm coming and cut his sermon short, bidding his hearers to depart for their homes as quickly as possible. Almost the first bolt of lightning struck the steeple and descended through shingles, tim- bers and ceiling to the floor beneath, Men, women and children were thrown from their feet, some unconscious and the rest mo- mentarily stunned by the shock. ey TELEGRAPHIC BRIEFS.
