Tlio City Council Hold * n Ilusy Sen- slon UurulRiM Ifcpcnt Their Calls Ocncrnl nnil I'orHonnl Natvs Not PS. Thn 1'r nohor Wlio Slionts. The interest keeps up in the trial of Kov. Mr. Helmlck , cliargea with murder In the second tioprco. YostorJay's proceedings opened' with the recall of the witnesses Oli ver and Hardman , for Bomo further slight examination , but nothing of special Interest was thus revealed. The first , now witness of the day was ICnli- her , n brother-in-law of Hardmun , who was visiting at the lirruso of I lard in na the mcnt of the Bliootlnp. The two heard the shot , and run to the scene , and found Holmtok standing holding his horse and a revolver In his hand. The witness testlllod mainly In support of the state's theory that the night was not so dark but that Helmlck could have identified Palmor. Ho also testllled as to what Ilolmlck said right after tlio shooting. According to tils recollection Holmlck sola : "If I didn't kill anybody I wish I had. " Tliero wns sonio discussion as to allowing Kallher to testify , the defense objecting on tlio ground that they had no sulllclont no- tieo of what tlio witness was ' to testify to. Tlio state's ' attorney showed up n recent de cision of the supreme court to support his position , and this seemed to startle Judge Ihorncll. Ho rom uric oil that ho should rule In accordance with this decision , and that ha did not claim to know inuru than tbo su * prenie court , but still this recent decision was just tlio onposito from tlftcon or moro previous decisions of the supreme court , and really annulled a portion of the statutes , ns well us ran contrary to the practice of years. After the vvltncss had testified the same re quest to strike out' his testimony was re newed. The witness had been asked as to his employment. "I'm keeping a restaurant. " "An Iowa restaurant ! " asked Attorney Sims , laying a prohibitory stress on "Iowa , " and thus Intimating that thcro was a saloon attachment. The witness answered ' -Yes. " Attorney McCabe then jumped up ana asked to have tbo testimony of .this witness stricken out. "Tho state has Imposed on us. They gave us notice that they were colng to Introduce this man ns an honest farmer. " Bailiff McFndden's jack kmfo raoped loudly to quiet the laugh which wont round. Mrs. Porter , the mothor-in-law of Palmer , was introduced. Her testimony was to the effect that the Ilov. Mr. Holtniek had inter fered with the attentions being paid by Palmer to her daughter , and sought to break oft the match. Mr. Holiniek was the pastor of the church of which she was a member , and to which her daughter belonged nlso. She thought that oven for a pastor ho was interfering too freely In her family matters , but had not told him so. She admitted that at one of these family confer ences ho was present at her own solicita tion. She denied that she had opposed the match , said she had never seen Palmer drunk , denied that she had ever told certain sisters of the church and Rov. Mr. Urewor that she was ashamed of Palmer and that ha was a worthless follow. She denied hav ing signed a petition for Hov. Mr. Helimck's return to Ncola as pastor. Mrs. Palmer , the widow of the man killed by Holmick , appeared next In the witness chair. She Is a very comely woman of about twonty-ono years of ago. nor testimony waste to the effect that she was with Palmer early in the evening and that ho was not drunk. When ho reached homo after the shooting she had examined his clothing and found no weapons , there being In his pocket onlv his bunch of hoys and a pocketbook. 1 ho de fense did not usk her a single question and she stopped down. At the opening of the afternoon session the defense began on its part of the case , the state resting. The llrst witness called was Hov. Mr. Urowor , pastor of tht ) Methodist church at Glenwood , by whom It was ex pected to prove that Mrs. Porter , instead of being in favor of Palmer marrying her daughter , was opposed to him , and had uttered , derogatory remarks concerning Palmor. There being some legal objections to the testimony because suftlciout ground had not been laid for impeachment , iCv. Mr. ilrower stepped aside for a few moments while Mrs. Porter was recalled for further cross-ox- ammatlon by tno defense in order to prepare the ground for such impeachment. Mrs. Ponor roalllrmod that she never said she and her husband were opposed to the marriage of Palmer to their daughter. Kov. Mr. ilrewer then took the chair. Ho was preiout at a conversation had between Mrs. Porter and Mr. Holmick. From the drift of the talk ho gathered that Mr. and Mrs. Porter were opposed to the marriage , but could not give the language or details. John Groudel of Ncola was next sworn. Hard man , a witness for the 'state , had sworn ho wns at his homo that evening. Grondol toslillod to seeing Hardmai in a crowd down town in company with the others who after wards oniruged in the cpg-throwmg. Ho contradicted - tradictod Hardman in several other import- aut mutters , the tendency of his testimony boinc that Haruinan was of tno same gang as Oliver , Graver , Swoenov and others. The witness also contradicted Oliver. Oliver told him that Palmer had asked him ( Oli ver ) to play by him , so that If ha got into a scrape with Holmick ho ( Oliver ) might pro * tect htm. Oliver had told witness that the night of the shooting ho and Palmer hnd In Helmlek's burn un irou bar two feet and a half long. Krlck Peterson wns the next witness. The defense attempted to show that Peterson was subpcumud for the prosecution and that the state would not put htm on the stand. The court would not permit this to bo put In evi dence. Peterson heard the shot and on reaching Helmick'a barn woat In with Holimzir , whllo Hai'duiau and his brother-in-law were out In tlio alloy. Peterson was with Holmick when ho was looking ever the barn for bullet in ark H. Ho heard Hulmk-lc tuuko no such remarks as Hurdman testlllod to. In either detail ho contradicted Hardman. Ho heard Helmlck say something about shooting , but did not. hoar it all. James Powell , now of Woodbine , was In Nuola the evening of the tragedy. Ho had hoard numerous threats mada by saloon men against Helmlck. They said that if Holmick got his nose in their business there would bo another Haditock ease. The witness told Holmick aoout this and told him ho hud batter look out. The examination of Powell was not con cluded when court adjourned.

C. U. stcauidyo works , 1013 Broadway The Council Mouti. The city council hold an adjourned meet ing yesterday afternoon for the purpose of disposing of the business of the regular monthly mooting that had twice' been post poned. All of the aldermen were present , aud President Lacy occupied the chair m the absence of Mayor Hohrer. A petition to abate a nuisance In the shape of a house of Ill-fame at the corner of Broadway and Twelfth street , was referred to the mayor. The petition of A. S. Bonham for the re fund of paving tax on Broadway ou a portion tion of the street used by the motor com pany was roforred. as were similar petitions ot E. Huntington. A. Hall and J. H. Boll.

Rockwell for refund of tax on erroneous assessment was referred. Bond of A. J. Tulhck Bridge company , with Nick O'Brien and Dan Carrigg us sureties. The sureties were objected to by Aldermen Everett and Lacv. but the bond was accepted , Weaver , Waterman , Bol- lluger and Knephor voting aye. Controversy between George F. Smith and W.V. . Cones regarding sidewalk con tract was decided in favor of Mr. Cones , who was awarded ho contract. Band of James Galvln on sidewalk con tract was approved. " Petition ot Mynster , Llndt & Saabrook" , attorneys , for settlement of u judgment against the city for mono.v in hands of tbo ciiy treasurer , which was forfeited as ap pearance money by saloon-keepers uud pros titutes , was objected to by Alderman Ever ett and a lengthy discussion ensued. Some of the aldermen were m favor of paying it , but Everett and Lacy objected strongly. The discussion brought out the fact that it was understood by some of the aldermen that jlhere was a kind of compromise' effected , by the terms of which tho" injunc tion uow pending against the allowance of the aldermen's fees as members of the board of equalization was to be withdrawn , provided the judcmont was quietly paid. Alderman Weaver jumped to his feet and announced in very vigorous language that ho was opposed to any compromise and re sented the Intimation that the council had been making any compromises. Ho did not want any inference to bo obtained by the people generally , and said that if ho could not collect his fees by law he didn't want them. Mr. Lacy also had a word to say. Ho thought thai if a judgment had bean secured - cured It could bo properly collected and ho didn't believe in allowing any attorney to come in and run a bluff on the council. John Lindt was present and took an active part in the discussion , but ho could not bring the council to his way of thinking. The claim was llnally thrown out and it was de cided to instruct the city attorney to use all moans In his power to have the judgment sot aside. Petition of Fanny L. Prescott for refund was referred. The committee on the city's claim of 523 15 against tbo engineer's department for dam ages resulting from a mistake reported that it resulted from the confusion in the oflico attendant on a chaugo of ufllcors , and that the engineer should not bo held responsible. but recommended that the ollieor.s on full pay bo required to devote their whole time to the city. The report was concurred in , Alderman Kneplor voting uo. Alderman EvoroU then wanted his ordi nance that was Introduced on the previous evening regulating the salaries of city marshal and chief of police and llxing them at $1,500 each , in lieu of alt foes , brougat up for its second reading. This brought on a disciission , and Alderman Waterman kicked on singling out ono ofllcor to bo cut down. Ha wanted to Introduce an oraluanco ha haa prepared , cutting down the salaries of all the city ofllcors. Alderman Everett's ordi nance was passed to Its second reading , and at the request of some of the aldermen ho amended it so that tno clause referring to the chief of police was strlclcen out , A motion to pass It to Its third reading was not sccondo'l. ' Alderman Lacji was in favor of It , provided tbo council had the power to pass It , and the marshal could not collect his foes by law , but ho did not want to raise bis salary from foOO to $1,500 and lot him have the fee * the same as at present. Alderman Waterman's ordinance was then introduced. It lixod the officers' salaries us follows : Mayor , SCOO ; aualtor , $800 ; treasurer , $500 ; solicitor , $1,250 and an assistant at $ COO ; mar shal , $100 and fees , as at present ; engineer , $1,201 ; city clerk , $500 , and another J500 us clerk of the superior court : deputy clerk , 780 ; chief of police , ? 3JO ; patrolman * $720 ; aldermen , $250. The ordinance ) was rccolvoa with derision , and Alderman Everett stated that it was evidently Introduced for spita work or to em barrass iho now administration should it bo passed. Ho said that It was ridiculous to expect competent men to accept the ofllcos at any such lleuros. Other members of the council stated that none of the city oQlccrs were receiving too much money , but on the contrary several of them should bo raised. Alderman Lacy recommended Increasing the salary of the treasurer to $1,200 and Increas ing his bond to $150.000. Af tor u very lengthy discussion , iho motion to pass the ordinance to its second reading was lost , and Aldormau Weaver's motion to uppomt Alderman Knopher , Laoy and Evurott u committee to prepare an ordinance regulating the salaries' ot ofuVers to report ut the next mooting was curried.

Crane in his play has copied I'lumb ' "oven to the ohln board , but moro tjt ° ba excited manner in which Plumb doou businoHS , oven in making a spnooh , flays a Pittsburg Press Washington loiter. Ho goes at it like n man breasting the waves or battling against odds in a light. All thin has boon copied by Cranu , and while on tho" stage the comedian is moro stylishly dressed than Senator Plumb appears in everyday life , tbo resemblance can easily bo traced. Yesterday Senator I'lumb was talking for tbo Oklahoma town site bill , which baa passed the bouse , and bo used up about twenty equara feet of the , Bowitto lloorin making IUH words beard and bis gestures com prehended. Ho is not deliberate like his colleague , Inguilti , who probably novur wets u hair wbllo bo makoa a speech.

"Wo arc still out on a strlxo and moro con fident than over of winning , * ' said a cooper yesterday. "Ono man has quit at Ham mond's and another non-union man will quit Saturday night unless ho gets $ . ) a day. So far the packers have secured but ono man , and ho is not a practical cooper , to take a striker's plaeo. " The men are certainly confident it will bo Impossible for the packers to got mon to till their places. Some of the strikers have lett for Kentucky , whore thcro Is a demand for skilled coopers nt good wacos , and there is a request for nt least eight more men to go. The strikers will hold u meeting this after noon. "The dissatisfaction existing among the packing house coopers In South Omaha over the cut In wages demanded by the bosses Is well founded , " said a striker. "Yesterday ono of the men who quit Monday \\eut to work in a pleco shop , and after cloven months away from piece work maile $3.0 the ilist day. Notwithstanding the peed wages earned in the piece shops in Omaha , the packing house proprietors want us to v.-ork for $2,75 a day. Wo wont do it because wo can maUo money olsowhoro. " Docs Juduo Hint * Hold Over ? "Do you construe the city charter to mean that you hold ever for another year ? " was asked Judge King yesterday after bo had patiently listened to the tale of the four offenders brought before him and had dis posed of their cases. "According to the charter provisions It Is plain that I must run ngaiu , " answered the judge. "But lu common with others I have my doubts about the right of special charters to legislate an ofllclal out of ofllco when once elected according to the statutory law ? governing cities of the second class. Nevertheless , I will have an opinion from high authority In a few daya and then I will know better wl.at I will have to do. If I am advised by this authority that I must run again , ot course I will abide by the advice. " Police Judge King was elected a year ago for a two years' term , but according to the provisions of the charter govern ing next month's election a now police judge must DO chosen. Ihero Is a strong disposition among mon of both'partles ta allow the present incumbent to step into the ofllco atrain unouposod in the event of ii now election being necessary. Judge King has made an excellent dispenser of milnlcl- pal justice during the last cloven months , and has earned the conndanco aud respect of all elements. _ Corn's Broken Lilinb.

Frank Clements was too drunk when brought In to .remember his right name , BO the stereotyped "John Doo" was applied to him for the nonce. Ho admitted the charge of drunkenness and was taxed up > 3 aud costs. Ho boasted a bank account , but pre ferred to work his fliio out In th'o county jail during these dull March days. M. P. Williams , a gray-haired old stook- man , fell by the wayside. Ho admitted the charge and paid his line of $3 and costs with out u murmur. . Dr. W. C. Wardnor looked upon the wmo when it was red. Ho gazed so long nnd steadily that his weak limbs could rio longer hold him up. Ofllcer Hughes took pity on him and placed him within the four walls of Pat Rowley's whitewashed collar , batter known as South Omaha's place of incarcera tion. Ho was taxed the sumo amount , $3 costs. James Sullivan , a plain , ovory-day vagrant , will assist in uuttinc a now coat of white wash on the walls of Pat Howlov's collar aforesaid. Ho secured n two days' sentence. Dentil Amidst Poverty. There Is a pitiable .caso of destitution m a household on Twenty-ninth street near the L street viaduct. The family is named Strenard.

Tbo army circle at Port Yntos is greatly agitated ever the coming trial of Lieutenant Steclo , who out"iigeously assaulted and caused the imprisonment of Priviito Dell Wild , says a Bismarck , N. D..dispatch to the Now Xork World. The court-martial at which tlie soldier received his sentence was a farce from beginning to end , and the two odicors who took the rcsopnsibility of giving justice topoor Wild have been lontr noted for their tendency to inflict tbo severest punishment upon their un fortunate subordinates. Capt. Focbctt of tbo Eighth cavalry bus a disagreeable record in this respect and is not at all liked by tbo soldiers. His bands are already dyed with the blood of a luckless private namoa Dugan , when ho nearly pummelled to death during tlio Fourth of July cele bration ut .Bismarck last year when the captain narrowly escaped lynching by the indignant citizens. Ho was spir ited away by his friends' and , when the excitement abated , was formally ar rested. He wont through what ap- pearort to bo a trial before the city jus tice. Private Dugan of company G was intoxicated on the Fourth of July and in an ugly mood. Fecbott ordered him to sit down , which the private refused to do. whereupon the captain grabbed a gun from the bands of a soldier and struck Dugan a terrible blow on tbo bond with the butt cud. The blow split Dugan's right car in two , nearly fracturing the side of his head. He presented a sickening sight , and it wns a quarter of an hour before ho regained consciousness. Tbo affair caused great excitement and ollcctually put a , damper to tbo celebration of that day. The vast crowd needed only a leader to have strung up Captain Foobott without mercy. It is no wonder then , when ono considers tlio existing relation o rank and file in army life , that Priyato Wild bad all the odds against him and no possible show for a fair trial. It is the general impression among ollicors at Fort Yates that Lieutenant Stoclo will be severely dealt with. Tlio lieutenant and wife are well known in Bismarck , and always have moved in tbo best of society. Their friends are astounded over tlio development and it is believed that ether revelations of a similar nature will bo disclosed. Disease lies in ambush for the ivcak ; n feeble constitution is ill adapted to encounter n malarious atmosphere and sudden changes of temperature , and the least robust are usually the easiest vic tims. Dr. J. H , McLean's Sarsaparilla will give tone , vitality and strength to tbo entire body. SPECIAL NOTICES , COUNCIL'BLUFFS. .
