THE OMAHA DAILY BEE:# SATURDAY. OCTOBER 5, 1895 CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Finance Committee Tries to Improve Looks of Bolln's Record, IMPORTANT MATTERS IGNORES SOME Appropriation for Henlth ndition—Sev- eral Big Claims for Damages Are Reported on Adversely. The city council met in adjourned ses- slon last night. It was one of the most bus- Inesslike sesslons of the year and a big grist of routine business went through with a rush and without the usual oratorical ac- companiments. City Treasurer Dumont asked for instruc- tions relative to the lssuance of tax cer- tificates from the treasurer’'s office and was referred to the finance committee. The treas- urer stated that he found that the office was frequently called on to furnish certifi- that it had been customary to charge from 30 cents to $1 for these cer- tificates, the revenue thus obtained being considered a perquisite of the office, He had followed the practice formerly in vogue, and had turned the fecs thus obtained into the general fund. They amounted to about $700 & year. He had asked the city attorney for a written opinfon, which was submitted with the communlcation. The attorney stated that there was no law requiring the treasurer to furnish such certificates and it was entirely proper to charge a fixed rate for the time and labor involved BOLSTERING BOLLN, The finance committee presented a lengthy report, which was alleged to be a refutation of the recent exposition in The Bee of the manner in which the city bad suffered through the malfeasance of Henry Bolln. The figures cited by the committeo were exactly like those given by The Bee, though the com- mitee considered the amounts in the site and building funds as a part of the gen- eral school fund. The committee did not refer to the interest which Bolln had failed to pay on these amounts, the sum of which would not be changed by considering it as transposed from a special to a general fund The interest which Bolln failed to pay over and in which the fraud consisted is ex- actly the same whether reckoned aczording to the figures of the committee or as given in The He Howell characterized the report as a pure piece of political buncombe and Holmes in- quired why the committee did not bring In the four experts whom it had hired by the year o look up these matters. The report was then declared adopted without a vote, An ordinance vacating certain streets and alleys in Vernon Heights was vetoed by Mayor Bemls. The mayor contended that the vacation of the streets was simply BIft of so much land to the property owners. Besides this, it would cut off the access of owners of adjacent property and be likely to result in damage suit against the city. The veto was sustained SOME VETOES OVERRIDDEN. The contract of Lamoraux Bros. for grad- ing South Seventeenth street from Vinton to Castellar was also vetoed. The city was to pay one-half the cost out of the road fu The clty's share was $605.20. The may held that the funds were in no condit warrant such an expense. The stre not a malin thoroughfare and th not essential at this time. The veto wa not sustained, and the contract was approved. The mayor's veto of the bill of Thomas Casey for feeding city prisoners, $209.61, was not sustained. The veto alleged that the amount included charges for double meals. Another veto of a similar bill for the same reason met a like fate, The Board of Health notified the council that all employes of the board had been suspended on account of the exhaust'on of the fund. The communication was placed on file. Similar action was taken with the official notice that Meat Inspector Frank had been suspended, pending the result of the in- vestigation of his official misconduct by the police court, Commissioner Saville also submitted a statement of the funds that would be re- quired to run the health department during the remainder of the year, He estimated that 1t would cost $3 to run the regular force, but this could bo reduced to $2,745 by discharging the milk inspector and two sanitary Inspectors. The matter was re ferred to the finance committee. A resoluticn by Prince appropriated $100 to pay the expenses of the building in- spector to the, national convetion of build- Ing inspectors at Baltimore, October 15, An effort to suppend the rules was defeated and the resolution was referrcd for consideration. A number of registrars of election were ap- pointed to fill vacancies in several precincts. HELP IOR HEALTH FUND. On recommendation of the mittee $625 was transferred to the health fund, with the reservation that only two ry inspectors should be employed. The committee on claims sat down hard on a number of petitioners who wanted big slices out of the city treasury. George Hock- ley wanted $5,000 damages on account of the loss of his son by drowning in Mercer’s pond. Ernest Stuht wanted an equal sum for dam- ages done to lis property by closing the Eleventh street viaduct. §. D. Mercer wanted damages on the same account. All three of the claims were placed on file. The plans previously submitted for the extension of the telephone system in ac- cordance with the new subway ordinance were approved on recommendation of the com- mitteo on viaducts. ——-—— Cholern in Homolulu, As soon as it became known that cholera was certain to become epldemic in Honolulu a local drug house there ordered a large sup- ply of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

Relative to the decision of the supreme court at Des Moines, Ta., finding him gullty of body snatching and sentencing him to six months in the penitentiary, John W Schaeffer of the United States signal station in this clty, sald: “On the night of February 29, 1892, Dr. Overton, one of the professors in' the ‘medical séhool, came to me, and showing mo some papers, said he had gotten the proper instruments by which he could dig up and take away the body of a pauper by the name of Wililam Case, a man who had died the preceding day. 'We walted until after dark and went to the cemetery with- out any secrecy in the matter whatever After “opening the grave and taking out the subject, we were approached by offi- cers and placed under arrest. 1 had a pistol In my pocket, as was my custom, but was not armed In anticipation of belng at- tacked while getting the body, Two men who had assisted in the removal of the body were given thirty days in jail, while Dr. Overton and myself were held to the criminal court. As soon as Overton was released on bail he skipped out, first golng to London and then to Rio Janeiro, where he is prac- ticing medicine at the present time. I stood trial. The jury voted eleven for acquittal and one for conviction. 1 asked for a new trial for the reason of the disagreement, was found gullty and took an appeal. “I was not surprised over the decision of the supreme court, as I rather expected it As yet I have received no official notice of the action, but I am willing and ready to go back to Des Moines the moment 1 hear from the authorities there. I always will feel that an injustice has been done me, for the reason that 1 thought the papers we had and which were somehow lost, were legal and permitted us to re move the body. I am innocent of a delib- erate wrong. If T do not get a pardon, or a rehearing, 1 will serve out my six months in prison, and when I'm discharged will go somewhere and practice my profession as a physician.” Mr. Schaeffer with his wife and two chil- dren reside at 1812 Davenport street, this city. JOHN HAGEN ON HIS MUS fe Whips an Old Mun & Wn from H hut up or I'll give you another punch,” stouted John L. Hagen last night as he knocked down an old man of 60 years and took away his watch, on Dodge street near Fifteenth. (lere had been a number of men sitting ind drinking in the saloon of James on the corner of Fourteenth and Dodge streets. Among the number were Hagen ard the old man whom he assaulted. Both were drinking, and while they drank the discussion waxed warm, and finally Hagen silenced the old man by exclaiming, “I'll carve you yet.” Wlen the order came to close the saloon, as the hour of midnight had been passed, tha old man arose and went up Dodge street Hagen followed after a short interval, and before the two reached Fifteenth street cries for help were heard, The men at the saloon heard the crack of a head against a fence and loud cries mingled with louder oaths, When they reached the scene, which was in the only dark pot in the block, the old man was lying helpless on the sidewalk. He told them that his watch had been taken, but while Hagen was being arrested the old man was taken home by some friends and his name could not be learned. SO S THROU R SERVICE.

The telegraph report of the litigation in the appellate court at San Francisco was sent out from that clity last Saturday night. Local officials of the road were considerably puzzied over the item, as the charges made were very sweeping, The dispatch asserted that the main line of the Union Pacific, as well as its thirty-two branches, was implicated in the suit, and that the federal government had been invoked to wrench the great trunk line and its feeders from their perilous exposure to the eager clutch of innumerable creditors. The mnecessity for government intervention was based on the claim that the road and its branches ought to be preserved under the law that makes them military and post roads. On this phase of the question the complain- ant in the federal court makes the following startling averments: The railroads and properties as now held and controlled form important trunk lines and their severance would result In a ruinous sacrifice to every interest in the property; and unless this court, in view of the impending and inevitable defaults of the company, will deal with the property as a singlo trust fund and take it into judicial custody for the protection of every interest therein, individual creditors will assert their remedics in different courts in the several states and territories; that a race of diligence will result and judgments and priorities will Lo attempted; that levies and attachments will be laid upon engines and cars of each of tho many roads which will greatly interfere with and ultimately prevent the defendants from the proper discharge of their dutles as public carriers; that the transportation of tho United States mails and property will be topped; that the Union Pacific Railway com- ny will ba unable to fulfill its charter du- ties to the government of the United States that commerce between the several states will be interfered with; that communication stween many cities, towns and places which are wholly dependent on the roads, will be interrupted; that serious and irreparable in- jury to their trade and commerce and their general prosperity will result. These particulars of the nature of the suit have been received at headquarter. and have served to clear the matter up. There is not a mile of road in the Union Pa- cific system in California, and the local offi- cials naturally were of the opinion that there was an error in the dispatches that foretold such direful things for the Overland system. It appears now that the suit pending in the appellate court in San Francisco simply re- lates to the Oregon Rallway & Navigation company that was commenced before Recelver McNeill was given charge of that system. The receivers of the Union Pacific were made defendants to the suit, and further than that the litigation does not affect the Union Pa- cific in any respect. Managers C a4 Not Agree. The managers of the western lines did not do a thing in Chicago at the meeting called to consider the condition of freight rates in the west. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas would make no promises, and the other Mis- souri river lines did not seem to be in any hurry to get back to the schedule figures on frefght business. The meeting adjourned with the understanding that Chairman Midge- ley of the Western Traffic assoclation: would do some missionary work In trying to get the roads to agree to be good. He will call a meeting of the association as soon as the sinners who have been cutting rates show any signs of repentance and are willing to get back Into the association and have thsir transgression overlooked. In the meantime the rates on coal and lumber to Missouri river points have touched bottom several times and there is not enough In the business of hauling these articles to pay for the axle grease. Railroad men are far from being satisfied with the situation and expect the cut to extend to other commodities soon, un- less the rates are promptly restored.

B, CONRBRENCE AT W Busy Seastonofftiw Delegntes Sees n Big Day'n'Work Done The second day'a wession of the African Methodist Episeapal church conference opened yesterday at(9 o'clock with Bishop James A. Handy presiding. After the de- votional. exercises had been concluded the conference was sidressed by Rev. S. J. Brown, presiding élder of the St. Louls dis trict. He stated ‘the details of the trouble now existing at Jeffemson City between P. W. Donovant and (he church and recommended that a money subseription be sent to the church at that place to help the members out of thelr present difficulty. At the close of his speich the delegates donated $100 for the aid of the Jefferson City parish. Rev. G. H. Shaffer, presiding elder for the district of Omaha; G. C. C. Owens of Topeka, and James Wilson of Kansas City were elected by the African Methodist con- ferenco to attend the general conference at Wilmington, N. C., with Rey. M. Collins of Kansas City, A. M. Ward of Kansas City and M. C. Buren of Atchison as alternates. Dur- ing the afternoon the members of the con- ference were addressed on educational matters pertaining to the Methodist college located at Quindaro, Kan., by Bishop Handy and G. C. C. Owens. The college is finely located a short distance from the town, in thg center of 120 acres of land, and at present occupies a handsome stone building of ten rooms. The attendance has been good, but the finances have run a trifle short, and it is the intention of the present conference to raise a_sub- scription among the members of the church to assist the college in continuing its good work. Tomorrow the visiting ministers will be ad- dressed by Rev. George W. Gaines, Rev. C. W. Preston and F. Jesse Peck of St. Joseph on “Country and Church,” with a discussion on the race question and the colored man's condition in the south, The attendance at the evening session of the conference was larger. The subject was confined principally to matters pertaining to the university at Quindora, interspersed with short and instructive addresses on general educational matters by Revs. Owens of Topeka, Gaines of Kansas City, J. H. Hub- bard, Argentina, Kan., J. R. Ransom, Par- sons, Kan., the presiding elder of the Omaha district and Chaplain Prieleau of the United States army. All of the talks discussed the development and rapid progress of the col- ored people of the central west. After the customary devotional exercises, and the excellent rendition of a number of hymns by a picked choir, $1,000 in cur- rency and checks was raised, to be applied for the salaries of the instructors at the Quindora university, and for the furtherance of the development and enlargement of that institution.

The plaintiff is an attorney, William Healey, and although the nominal defendant is the administrator of the Cather- ine M. Tusler estate, Phillip Fox, the real defendant is another lawyer, H. P. Stoddard, a former partner of Healey and the husband of the principal heir to the estate. The actlon is brought for the recovery of $7,600, which was charged for settling up the estate of Mrs. Catherine Tusler. It was begun before the death of the woman and sh: was mads the defendant. During the pendency of the suit, however, she died, and then the administrator of the estate, Phillip Fox, was made defendant. The case came up for trial at the last term of the dis- trict court, and on June 8 a verdict was re- turned In favor of the defendant. A motion for a new trial was granted. It appears that Mrs. Tusler was the owner of a considerable estate, which, however, had gotten into the courts of various states— Wisconsin, Michigan, Nebraska and others For a considerable length of time before her death, a brother of Mrs, Tusler, Dr. George Keenan, looked after her interests, for which it 1s sald that he desired no compensation. Finally the two quarreled and Mrs. Tusler looked for another lawyer. Meanwhile H. P. Stoddard had married her daughter and the law business of his mother-in-law was trans- ferred to him under an agreement that he was to ask for no compensation. Shortly be- fore Healey joined in partnership with Stod- dard, and it is alleged in the petition that he also agreed not to charge anything for look- Ing after Mrs. Tusler's interests Healey, however, denies that he made any such agreement. He alleges that he did a large amount of special work in settling the estate in the yea 1891, 1892 and 1893, and spent $700 of his own moaey in doing so. Mrs. Tusler refused to pay him and there- upon he commenced the suit. On the death of Mrs. Tusler the suit was fought by Stoddard as his wife is the heir to the estate. In the defense that is made it is denled that Healey performed as much work as he aileges that he did, and, moreover, what work he did do, he ‘did under the understanding that he was to receive no compensation. There is another suit against the estate pending in the county court. The plaintiff is Attorney Meikle, who is suing for several thousand dollars for attorney's fees, Pl I L K ey's an Ungrateful S, .
