THE SEWER COMMITTEE ,
It Was the Only Thing Dis
cussed by the Council
Last Night.
Intellectual MisniulorstrmdlnRS
JQotwoon Member * '
On the call of Mayor Boyd n special
meeting of the council was hold last
evening , to consider the report of
Ooo. K. Warring on the Omaha sys
tem of nowerage.
The first thing that came up for
consideration wan a resolution by Mr.
Kaufman that President Dailoy bo
added as a committee on watcrworkH
and sewerage. This was amended to
make the gentleman chairman during
the absoiico-of Mr. McNamara.
Mr. Dunham , in speaking of the
matter , said that the waterworks com
mittee had doncr nothing up to the
present. They had done nothing in
the matter of filling up holes caused
by rain showers. When Mr. Corby ,
chairman of the committee , called nt
the waterworks oflico he received no
more attention than any other man ,
Mr. Hornborgcr said if Mr. Dun
ham expected members of that com-
mittco to act like police ho was n little
"oil1. "
Mr. Dailoy said ho had no ambition
to become chairman of the committee.
He hoped the amendment would bo
withdrawn as ho would probably bo
out of town while the committee was
doing its hardest work.
Mr. Dunham said something ought
to bo done as ho had noticed holes
left unfilled for several weeks at a
time. Ho himself had reported sev
eral of thcso nnd no attention was
paid them. The committee had been
in existence several months and had
not hold a single meeting.
Mr. Corby'considerod this n slur
upon him as chairman of the commit
tee and naked that Mr. Dunham be
substituted in his stead.
After a motion to table the resolu
tion nnd amendment had been lost
Mr. Kaufman suddenly jumped up
and said ho wanted to withdraw from
this waterworks committee if Mr.
Dunham was appointed chairman as
that gentleman had just remarked
that ho would rather servo with a lot
of bootblacks.
"I didn't say anything of the kind , "
said Mr. Dunham bristling up.
"You did , you did , " said Mr.
Kaufinatm excitedly.
At this moment President Dailey's
gavel came down sharply nnd ended
the discussion.
The resolution and amendment was
carried.
Mr. Dunham moved that the report
of Engineer Warring on the question
of sewers bo given to the waterworks
and sewer committee with instructions
to see the city attonioy and confer
with him as to the necessary stops for
its adoption at a mooting to bo hold
this evening.
Mr. O'Koefo amended to lay the
matter over a week.
The amendment was lost and the
resolution waa carried.
The committee will meet in the
city clerk's oflico at 9:30 : this morn
ing.Mr.
Mr. Kaufman moved that the city
clerk bo ordered to have 40 $1,000
bonds lithographed.
Mr. Baker thought this matter had
bettor bo postponed until the sewer
committee had discussed the matter
and reported to council.
Other members thought sq too.
Council then adjourned until this
oyoning afc 7:30 : o'clock.

The appended letter was received
from Trenton , N. .J. , yesterday , di
rected to Tun BF.B :
"For Borne time past a young man
priding himself on the m\cut-sounding
title of Win. 0. Fossol has been suc
cessful in duping several of our citi
zens by-fraudulent transactions in real
estate. II in laat feat was perpetrated
at the expense ot a poor Italian harp-
player named Pascolina , who was de
frauded out of several hundred dollars
lars in his deal. Finding matters
pretty warm , Ihis young "sharp" skip
ped the city about August 1st , just as
the authorities wore about to rake
him in. His destination is believed
to bo Omaha. Ho is about 5 feet
7 inches in height , with smooth face
nnd eyes of blue , and has n youthful
appearance. Ono of his front teeth
is much discolored. I trust you will
publish this , so that the people of
Omaha may bo on their guard.

THE FAIR.
It Will Bo the Biggest Ono
Ever Hold in Omaha.
All tliol Arrangement * For the
Event Nearly Completed.
Preparations for the present state
fair are far greater than any that have
over been made heretofore. The in
dications now she x that the atato fair
of J881 will bo far superior to that of
any previous year. At the fair grounds
everything is bustle nnd activity. Tlio
now buildings nro nil well under way
and will BOOH bo completed. The
contract for building the tower and
polo for the electric light were let yes
terday , and work on them will bo
commenced to-day. The tower prop
er will bo seventy-five foot in height ,
while the polo which will bo placed
on top of the tower will bo sixty-five
feet , thus giving a total height of 140
feet , upon the top of which the light
will bo placed.
The apparatus for the electric light
has already been shipped from Cleve
land and will bo hero in a day or two.
An electrician will also bo hero in a
few days to superintend thoscttingup
of the light. It has not
been generally understood that
the electric light feature
of the fair is a private enterprise , but
such is the fact. .When the question was
first brought before the state board it
was decided that it would bo too ex
pensive nn experiment. Thororpon
J. 0. McBride
& Co. submitted a
proposition that , in consideration of
one-half ot the gross receipts of the
night exhibitions , they would furnish
the light. The proposition was ac
cepted by the board , and Messrs. Mc
Bride & Co. ordered the light. So to
the enterprise of these gentlemen is
duo an important feature of the ex
hibition. There will be sixteen lights ,
each of 3,000 candloa power. Five of
them will bo sot upon the tower pole ,
which will bo placed in the centre of
the speed ring. The remaining eleven
will bo distributed among the differ
ent Buildings , so that the exhibits in
the uilibrent halls may bo viewed at
night as well as day. The state board
are at no expense save the furnishing
of the motive power for the genera
tion of the electricity , which is trivial.
The atato board have under way a
permanent building for the exclusive
use of the president and board of
managers. Mr. Mount's dining hall
is nearly completed , and will bo a
spacious building. The track is being
put in good condition , and the grass
on all parts of the ground has boon
mowed down.
A Fractious Animal.
Mrs. Powell , the wife of Charles
Powell , the justice of the peace resid
ing at C21 South Fifteenth otreot , mot
with a little accident yesterday.
While driving down Fifteenth street ,
just as the horse reached the With-
nell ho roared around wildly on his hind
logs , and would propably have upset
the buggy had it not boon for the in-
tropidy of Walter .Kelly , who seized
the horse and with some dilllculty
quieted him. Mrs. Powell got out of
the buggy and wont homu , leaving the
horse and buggy in charge of George
II. Fitohott.
_
Ilorso Badly Hurt.
Mr. Bennett , of the Pullman Car
Company , was driving homo to din
ner yesterday. The street had been
undermined near the corner of Daven
port and Twonty-firat , and the horse
broke throuth. ; It was taken out with
considerable dilHculty nnd was found
to bo badly sprained in both fore and
hind quarters.
The physicians say , "Wo loel justi
fied in recommending the 'Conrad's
Budwoisor' to the public , because wo
know it to bo perfectly pure nnd
healthy , being manufactured of the
very best hops and malt that can bo
found. "

CROW DOG ,
The Murderer of Spotted Tail ,
on His Way to Trial.
What Ho Look * LlUo and What
Ho Snyn of The Affair.
Crow Dog , the murderer of Spotted
Tail , passed over the U. P. Sun
day in charge of deputy U. S. marshal
of Dakota and two officers of the U.
S. army , on his way from the lloso-
bud Agency , D. T. , to Deadwood , D.
T. , where ho will soon bo tried for
his crime. The pnrty came from the
agency via Yankton to Missouri
Valley junction , thence to Fremont ,
on the U. P. At Sidney they will
take a stage for Deadwood. Crow
Dog is a heavy set , good looking In
dian , and docs not look like a blood
thirsty or quarrelsome person. Ho
was dressed iu a blue army coat , blue
pantaloons and moccasins. Ho wore
upon his coat the shoulder straps of a
first lieutenant of the U. S. nrmy.
The version of the origin of the
shooting has already appeared
in TIIK lHK : , which is probably
the correct one , Crow Dog however ,
givns quite a dilloront story of the
feud which existed between himself
and Spotted Tail. Ho said that ho
had repeatedly tried to conciliate
Spotted Tail , but without effect.
A short time prior to his dis-
missial as Captain of the Indian police
ho went to SpottcdTail and endeavor
ed to make up the differences existing
between them , and ollercd his hand to
Spotted Tail , which ho refused to
take Shortly after ho was dismissed.
This action angered Crow Dog , still ho
hold his peace and was determined not
to have any personal encounter with
Spotted Tail. When the invitation
trom the secretary of the interior
came to have Spotted Tail and subor
dinate chiefs go to Washington to
hold a general conference with rela
tion to the affairs of the 'Pawnee
nation , Crow. Dog and his friends
were completely ignored in the selec
tion of representatives which was
made. To this action ho protested ,
and asked Spotted Tail to allow him
and some of his friends a place
in the delegation , but that chief
refused to do so. Ho attended the
council hold for the purpose of select
ing the Indians for the Washington
trip until the hope that ho would bo
allowed to go , but although ho was
there no notice was taken of him by
Spotted Tail. This so enraged him
that ho determined to kill the chief ,
and did so as hn left thn council meet
ing on his way homo. Crow Dog docs
not express any alarm for the result
of his trial for the murder , but on
the contrary thinks that ho will bo set
free , as his action was perfectly justi
fiable.
Rndobeolr Released-
Some time ago TUB BEE published
an article detailing an account of a
fight between two watchmen on the
Plattsmouth bridge. The evidence at
the preliminary examination revealed
a somewhat different state of fact
from that published. Iludobock
claims that Kuhlman was the assault
ing party and that ho drew the revolv
er only in self-defense. Iludcbeck
was released at the preliminary ex
amination.
TAKEN IN.
A Young Scotchman Bilked
Out of oil His Money.
Yesterday a young man was
made the victim of a confidence game
by a couple of mon nt the U. P.
depot. The young man , whoso name
is Alexander McQueen , arrived in
Omaha yesterday 'from Scotland.
This afternoon ho went down to the
depot to look after his baggage and
while there was accosted by a well
dressed man with a red face and about
eix foot tall. The man asked young
McQueen where ho was going and ho
replied that ho was looking for work.
The confidence man said his father
was a Scotchman and was looking
for a young man of his own national
ity to take care of his horses. After
some talk the confidence follow en
gaged McQueen to go to work for his
father. At this junctiuro another in
dividual appeared , who presented
what purported to bo ix bill for freight
against the first contidcnco man. The
man last appearing said ho had left
them nt the freight depot and would
not haul them up town until ho had
got his money that ho had advanced
for freight charges. The first man
enid ho had a chock for a largo
amount , but no cash. Ho asked
young McQueen whether ho had any
cashnnd being answered in the affirm
ative , presented a chock on Caldwell ,
Hamilton & Co.'a bank , drawn in
favor of Gcorco N. Hamilton for $720 ,
and signed by Howard & Son. The
young man advanced the money
on it , to the amount of ? GO ,
all the money ho had on earth Af
ter the men wont away ho began to
suspect that all was not right , so bo
wont into the U. P. office and asked
u poi-son there if it was. The
man saw that the young
man had been duped , nnd telephoned
to the bank about it. The bank replied >
plied that the chock was a forgery
The young man rushed uptown and
got Oflicor McCuno to his assist
ance. The olllcer looking for
the man.
Miraculous Escape-
H. Nelson , teamster for Welshing
& Bro. , was driving in the southern
part of the city delivering goods yes
terday , The ring on the neck yoke
broke aud lot the tongue drop to the
ground. The horses took fright and
started on a run. Crossing a ditch
the tongue caught in the ground and
the jar pulled Nelson off his seat.
The wagon wheels passed over
liis chest nnd abdomen.
Ono rib was fractured and ho was
badly bruised , It was a miracle he
was not crushed as the wagon was an
immense one , capable of carrying
three tons. Ho was taken to his
homo Twenty-second and Leaven-
worth street. Dr. Stone was called
to attend him. .
SATISFACTORY ,
The Trial of The Fire Hydrants
Yesterday.
Yesterday the firemen , under
the supervision of Chief Gallignii and
the official eyes of Mayor Boyd and
N. Shclton of the water company ,
tested fire hydrants in various portions
tions of the citv. The test was made
under an eighty-pound pressure.
The first stream was turifod on at
Ninth and Farnham streotsand worked
very satisfactorily. The second trial
was made before a , largo nnd inter
ested audience at Eleventh and Fiirn-
ham streets. The firemen experienced
no difficulty in sending a stream over
the top of ( JriMghton hall. When the
nozzle of the hose was held vertically
the stream was discharged to about
one and a half times the height of
that building. The only other trial
made before noon was at Boyd's opera
where everything worked very satis-
factor ly. The pressure on the mains
this morning bursted only a single
pipe as far as heard from. That was
a four-inch main at Twenty-first and
Davenport streets. In the afternoon
various tests wore made in different
portions of the city , and the pressure
was raised to about 150 pounds. The
mains will now bo kept filled , and
should a lire occur , Chief Galligan
thinka ho is well prepared to tackle it.
Narrow Escape-
E. L. Borgquest , of 1.709 Cuming
street , had a very narrow escape from
death yesterday at 2 o'clock p. in. Ho
is one of the carpenters employed at
Boyd's opera house. A plank , 2x8
and fourteen feet long , fell a distance
of thirty feet , just grazed his head
and struck him on the foot , the tis
sues of which were very badly bruised.
Dr. Merriam dressed the foot and ad
vised him to lay off for a few days.

BOYD'S OPERA HOUSE.
A Performance to bo Given
There on October 12.
Evorythinc Will "bo Completed in
Time , tlio Contractors Sny.
Shaw & Field , who liavo the con
tract for the entire work on Boyd's
opera house , say that they will have
the utlilicu completed and ready for
occupancy on October 12 , when it is
designed to open thn theater. The
heavy part of the work is now done.
The roof consists of a scries of
nine self-supporting trusses ,
of the Howe pattern , which leave n
clear , open space under the ceiling.
All the heavy system of joists which
yo to form the basis for the several
iloora and when looked on from above
seem like the carcass of nn immense
leviathan so complicated yet system
atic do they appear , are now nil in
place. The stage is now about
the only open .space about the
structure. This will bo u fmo affair ,
being 74 feet across , DO feet
to the rigging loft and fourteen feet
from that point to the roof. The
drop curtains will bo raised directly
up without being run over a series of
rollers , which allow the curtains to
become creased and Filled with dust.
This week the contractors will engage
a force of about sixty men , just so
soon as they can got'the roof covered
over. Most of the fancy wood work
and mouldings for about the stage
and proscenium boxes has been
prepared-jit the shops , and the rapid
ity with which it will bo placed iu its
proper position in the opera house will
astonish the natives. The contractors
feel confident that they can perform the
entire work and turn the ktjri of the
completed building over to Mayor
Boyd by October 12. ' As soon as
the roof is covered over men will bo
worked day and night. Shaw &
Field are the contractors who trans
formed a church edifice into what is
now known as Pope's theatre , in St.
Louis , placing it in a condition to bo
ppcncd in four weeks' time aftcr-the
work was begun. They also erected
the English opera house in Indianap
olis , and when they say they will
liavo Boyd's completed in a certain
time , thuy know what they are
talking about. Both the gentlemen
say that the character of work done
on Boyd's theater will compare with
