Near the north end of tbo two buildings this space widens to about titty feet on either nldo of the track , and the trnbic Itself ascends n sharp Rriitlo on a tres tle , bringing the track on a level with the upper story of the retort works. Thorn wcro no eye witnesses of the affair , but the evidence of all who know anything about the matter , and the indications In the snow under the cars before they had been moved , toll the story. Zacorlscky. who , in his capacity as Inboror , was required to supply coke with i wheel barrow to the retorts , went to a shod near the roaster nnd , Inking1 a wheelbarrow , started for the retort , walking up the track with the wheelbarrow in front of him.

The train was pushed four car lengths up the trestle before It cama to a standstill , nnd in the meantime two cars Waded with coal had passed over the unfortunate - fortunate man , dragging him about , ono hun dred feet nnd mangling him horribly. The wheelbarrow was pushed along In front of the train nnd wns mashed and broken. The brakebeam of the rear car wns splintered nnd the brake shoo had several locks of hair on It.

TIII2 MAJOIl'g HOOKS. Ho lias n ItorrcsliliiRly Urlelnnl Way nP I'oNlitiK Thorn. The war nt Lincoln dooj not trouble the plumbing inspector hnlf so much as the faot that his books will not halnnco with these in the office of the comptroller. It leaked out sotno tlmo upo that the major's books did not shoxr the exact statemontof the cash receipts of the oftlce , buttho comptroller thinking that everything was In proper shape failed to check up nnd strike n balance. There Is an ordinance In force lu the city providing that when a house Is erected , If tbcro U any plumbing to go in , the plans and spec-mentions for the same shall bo turned over to the plumbing inspector for his inspec tion nnd approval. For doing this ho Is entitled to charge n fee. and on the first of the following month the foes pass Into the city treasury , by way of the comptroller , who receives n duplicate receipt from the plumbIng - Ing inspector un each inspection , Several wcoks ago the duplicate receipts failed to put In nn nppo.iranco at the comp troller's ofllco , nud upon nn Investigation it develops that wbllo the stubs In the Inspec tor's book nro properly filled out , there iiro any number of duplicates thnt have never shown up. On Soptcmbor 1 Froolnnd & Loomls com menced the erection of the threo-story addi tion to the Continental block and had It well under way when the Inspector appeared upon the scene nnd after explaining bis ofllclal po sition the Inspector wns shown the plans and specifications , .After nn examination ho de manded a fco of $10 winch was palj on tno spot nnd a receipt given. No place In the major's books does the city have nny credit for this amount , nor docs Comptiollor Ooodrlch Imvo nuy document In his ofllco to show that ho contributed the sum toward the support of the city. On October 7 S. J. Bodden , bookkeeper In the . Omnhn National bank , mot tie ] plumbing inspector. Hodden was building n cottage , and after the inspection was mndo bo re ceived a letter from the major asking for tbo rcmittmico of $1.50 as an inspection fco. In duo time a receipt properly signed reached Mr. Boildon , but nothing in the inspector's ofllco shows thnt ho ever had the money , though his nnnio attached to the receipt in- dlcatci that ho got it , as docs the check that ha had cashed ut the bank. On September 1 Leo Buroch , who was erecting a dwelling tor Frank Swoboda , met the major who , after explaining thnt ho was a city oWclal and In what capacity ho served , demanded S2.f > 0. Burooh asked why the demand - mand was made mm was Informed thnt it was for the Inspection of plumbing. The money was paid nud a receipt taken , out nothing In the Inspector's ofllco shows that the money over passed through his hands. The McCncuo building nt Fifteenth nnd Dodge streets was inspected in the early part of November ; T. Sinliold's ' building on No vember 14 , and John L. Wilkio's uulldlng on the 1 1 th of the same month , but not n scratch of a pen In the ofllco shows that McCaguo paid fir.50 and Wllttlo 3.50 , though the parties all hold receipts bearing the maor'H ] familiar autograph. A few days ago a call was mndo at the in spector's olllco and in response to the ques tion ns to whether or not the foregoing amounts hnd been paid , the major ropllcd : "Certainly , nnd I have the vouchers hero. " Ho then began a search through u lot of en velopes , hut falling to find nny record , stated Mint the plans and specifications hnd not been returned , but wns positive that the amounts had nil been settled. Thursdav a second visit was paid the inspector specter , with n request to examine bis books. The gentleman arose with his usual dignity nnd said , "with pleasure ; I am glad to ac commodate the public. " In conjunction with the major the ex amination was made , but as none of the nbovo amounts wcro found credited to the city , the inspector settled back lu his chair and In a confidential manner said : "I will tell vou how this is. There are my books. They do not show the payment of any of the amounts , but I will explain how it is. When I am out In the city I frequently meet men who nro owing inspection fees , and when they pay mo I give them my personal receipt , intending to credit the amount to the city when I reach the ofllco , but in thcso instances tbo matter of crediting must have slipped my memory. " Almost with the same breath the major switched off and said : "This trouble all comes about on account of an inspector , John Bolan , who was discharged about the first of lost December. As you know , i keep a record of my Inspections on these envelopes and when tbo foes nro paid I mark tbo date of payment and the amount on the face of ; a slip and then when I got tlmo I make the entry in my book , sending n receipt to the owner of the buildinp , the dunlicatnto the comptroller and the original is retained in my olllco. "Dolun was mad nt mo and I know that ho took this course to malco mo trouble. Ilocamo to the oOlcu and deliberately stole these records , hoping to show mo up ns an cmboz- ' zler. I have Known this for some tlmo , nnd as ho had access to myofllce , what surprises mo is that ho did not do moro of this dirty work wbilo ho had n chance. " For some time the major vented his wrath upon poor Bolan , nnd then quieting down , said : "I will straighten this all out , ns I am nt work on my annual statement nt this mo ment , and If there Is any shortage I propose to make it good , as I know the money has been paid. " Comptroller Goodrich , in spcaidngupon the subjcctof the plumbing inspector's fees , said : "I have boon trying lor some tima to get a chnnco to check up and settle with the major , but each time on the first of tbo month ho pleads that ho is very busy and thus the mat ter goes over. Yesterday I got a look at bis books and chocked up for September , Octo ber and November , and In no place does his books show that any money was paid him by Frceland & Loomis , S. J. Boaden , Franlc Swoboda , John L. Wllkle , Siuhold or Mc Caguo. "When these fees nro paid to him ho should at ouco send mo n duplicate receipt , but in these cases ho has absolutely failed to comply with the ordinances governing bis olllco. "I spoke to him about these fees being short and ho said they had been paid but had boon overlooked. "In one place in his receipt book there Is a place where eight receipts and the same num ber of duplicates nro torn out without any record appearing upon the stubs. "I have no doubt about bis honesty , but I confess ho has n peculiar style of conducting the affairs of his ofllco. " llcwUdors tlio French Ooctors. 1'Aius , Jon. 0.
