Four Jlrms were In the gnmo nt the coun cil ch imocr last night for thu citv Hunting Jnck pot. Thrco of them wont In with gitso- line bluffs , and didn't bailer thimsolves in thn draw. Mr. Wlloy of the New Omaho Thomson-Houston electric1 light company stood pat , and even on thu show down. Thu gamij was opened by Mr. Donnelly , who offered n resolution Instructing the clerk to return the bids for lighting nnd instruct ing the proper authorities to enter Into n contract with Mr. H. Soogcr for furnishing the city with 700 or moro gasollno lamps. This was promptly tabled nnd the clerk instructed to open the bids received from the comptroller's ofllco. There were four of these , ono from the Ohio street lighting company under the name of the Sun vapor company , one from Kobort Seeger , ono from the Missouri street gaslight company of St Louis , nnd ono from the Now Thomson-Houston electric light company. Mr. A. Soeger , whose first bid was $ lf > per lamp per annum and afterwards raised tb $ l5.iO ( , presented ono for Slli.81) ) per lamp per l I year , nnd Its reading caused n wtilstlo of sur- lirlso from nearly every mumbur of the council. Mr. Hell , the Omaha agent of the Ohio street lighting company , came up ns thu ngentof the Sun vapor IlithtiiiK company nnd presented n bid or SI5 BO for n fourteen- camllo power , $ Hi.50 for a sovonleon-candlo power lamp iind 518 for u ninctcun-cundlo I > owcr lamp.

Mr. Wiley's bid for the now Omnlm Thomson-Houston electric light company was offered. This compiny ngrood to lur- nish 700 or more incandescent electric lights of twenty-candle power , to bo placed at Inter vals of ouo block in thu suburbs nt points designated by the council , at $ . ' 0 per lump par annum. Mr. Tuttle nt once offered a motion to award the contract to the Thomson-Houston company. Mr. IJlumor wanted nn amendment to in clude the sun vapor oil for outskirts. Mr. Chaffoosaid : Wo know the electric light companv can furn'sh ' n twenty-candle power light. Wo don't know that nny gasoline com pany can furnish u sixtrcn-candlo power lamp. Wo do know wo haven't had a twelve- camllo power during the past year. " There was some question In the mii.ds of several of the council ns to whether or not the electric Ight company would go into the far suburbs with Its lamps. i Mr. Wiley was called for nnd said his company proposed to put on lamps In nny part of the city designated by the council. On n call of the roll the contract was awarded to the electric light company , Mr. Bruner alone voting in the negative , after making n speech. The checks of the other bidders were ordered returned nnd the o'ty attorney in- ntructcd to prepare a contract with the elec tric light company. "Better send the contract to the mayor , too , before it gets back to the council , " suggested Mr. Cooper. About Those Jtoilcrw. This .settled one quostlor. that has caused considerable contention and another one w < is sprung Instnnter. Mr. Coots presented n letter relative to the contract for boilers in the new city ball. Tin ; IJir. : yesterday con tained a statement of the situation showing that thu boilers ordered were not In accord ance with the requirements of the spccitl ca tions. Mr. Cools , In his communication , etutcd that the steel in thu boilers used was equally as good as that of the Otis steel called for in specifications. Bollnr Inspector Stnndovon was called for in reply to Mr. Coots , and stated that the steel in the boilers ordered was not such as was called for in the specifications. There -wus nu wiiy , uu sum , 10 ion wuatuur u was as good stool ns the Otis steel , which was called for by the specifications. Mr. Osthoff wanted three export boiler men appointed to investigate the boiler nnd test the steel In them. 'I for ono , " said Mr. Elsnsser , "shall de mand that none but the steel required by the epeclllcatlons bo allowed In the city hall boilers. It Is not our business to Iind out whether this steel Is ns good us IhuOtls steel or not. The only thing wo are required to do is to insist that nothing shnll bo used unless it U called for In the specifications and to bo natlstlud with nothing loss. " Mr. Chaffeo offered n resolution , which was adopted , instructing the superintendent of the city hall to have the boilers now on the ground removed and to nccept none that do not comply with the ron.uiroinoiits of the ipecltl cations. And they weren't through then. Smoke consumers came in for n few min- tltos consideration. Mr. Coats offered to put in tut CD Herbert consumers for$3tX ! ( ) . Air. Klsasscr wanted the consumers laid on the tablu. After n wordy cross-lire the matter was referred to the committee on public property nnd buildings. The Johnson heat regulating apparatus vns adopted for the now citv hall , und then the council got down to work aim trans acted a lot of routine business. Vetoes I" . The mayor's veto of n resolution Instruct ing the chief of police to nbato n nuisance at Porty-llfth and Cumlng was Mistniuud. The veto was on the ground that the property ) md not been declared a nuisance hv an ordl- Jiunco of the council , as required. Thu papers were referred to the Judiciary committee. The mayor nlso vetoed the contract with Hnyman & McDonald for the construction of n sewer in Uoiuis park , his honor Iruldlng that there were not fuuds available for the work nnd thnt the pay , or n part of It , would Imvo to co mo out of the judgment fund. ! Mr. Davis nnd Mr. Chaffoo stated thnt the contract In question culled for a sewer to cost 91. fil ( n foot , but that thov favored the approval of the contract because City Attor ney 1'oppioton had recommended and thu mayor approved n similar contract for n sewer In district is , costing U'U per foot , The contract wus approved , the veto of the nmvor to the contrary notwithstanding. J < lr. Hliitner nlono voted to sustain the veto , i The city attorney called attention to the decision of .ludgo Wnkoley giving uu Injunc tion ngaitirtt the paving of Dorcas street , be cause the proper gas and water mains had not boon laid. The city attorney stnted thnt in view ot Judga Wnkoloy's decision It would bo useless to order n street pavou without llrst requiring the laying of gas and water mains. Contractor Squires' street sweeping cstl- inato for Juno , amounting to & , lo-J.i5 ) : , was presented , nnd for a wonder , for the llrst time In years , was approved without u kick. I Quito n Popular Iileii. On n final trading estimate Mr. Chnffeo Asked for the certificate of the board of public Works that sidewalks taken up by tha con tractor had been replaced. Thuolark replied that no such ccrtlllcato was vUlblo to his nuilo eye , The chairman of thu board of publtu works thought the walks haa been replaced , but ho wasn't real sure of It. Mr. Chaffeo then announced that ho would oppose the approval of any final estimate to which the required certificate was not attached. This Idea seemed popular and the estimate was referred to the board of publlo worKs to sucuro the necessary cortltl- cato about the condition ot tbo sidewalks , Ten ior cent was hold out of Contractor Hum's estimate for sldcwalK construction liy the board of publlo works to cover any do- tlcluncles In the work. Some ot tbo councilmen - men wanted to know why any amount should bo held out If the work was properly done , pnd why any amount should bo allowed if the work had not beou proper ) v dono. This mat * ter was finally tattled by allowing tbo ro- curve mlnui the 10 par cent reserve , and ap- > olrtiiig Osthoff , UutdUh aud Uouuoll/ a committee to Investigate the matter in gen ornl.

SImoral has given the question of South Omaha's position under the revised statutes considerable attention. In rosponsa to thu request of u representa tive of TUB OKI : ho yesterday nmdo thU statement of the situation and the menus which the city may employ for roliuf from lit present ombarrasltig and unfortunate condition : "The complications arising by virtue of the amendment to section 1 of charters of cities of the tlrst class makes a change so as to pro vide that all cities having less than twenty- llvo thousand and moro than ton thousand in habitants shall bo known as cities of the llrst class , thereby changing the law us It hereto fore stood , wtilch provided that all cities having ! 25,000 and moro than eight thousand Inhabitants should bo cltloi of the first class , places South Oiimtm and perhaps otuor cities throughout tbo ntato in u somewhat peculiar condition , although I do not think that It Is so surious u was indicated lu lao urilclo In Tin- URI : In reference to the ImlobtodnOM of n city. 1 snniKMn tltj Ural nuo.stton that would nntiir.illy arlsotxvuuld bo the effect It would have upon to ) ) present city govrn- mt-nt and nnv futurd ai-ilon that they may take in ri'foroniM to ttliinidal nlTulrs. There I * no doulrf but what the loglsta- turn may niter , eh itigjj , ntnoml or wholly annul it city ehnrlor , or doprlvu a municipal ity of nil or nnv of Its powers This lias boon done u number uf times In the history of cities throughout the country , moro es pecially In ttio ca < 6 of the city of > icmphls , Tumi. , whorutn thu tfhitrior was ulMOltitcly tinnullud. Hut as aKcner.il rule this C-OIIMO Is tukon because of the bankruptcy of the city , although nny law that a Icglslaturo might pass affecllnir Its chnrtor.could not af fect nny pro-existing debts. I'ho practical question , though , would Immediately nriso bow those debts can bo collected. It must bo con co J oil that Judge Dillon In his valuable wont on municipal corporations admits that the authorities nro somewhat conlllctlug nnd the remedy soinowliut uncertain , although n niundamus might ho in order to compel n luvy of taxes for the purx | > so of paying nny Judgment that might bo had against the city , but it Is not to bo expected that nny such serious matter will occur in reference to South Omaha , as under articles , chapter 11 , South Omaha would have about all the powers that she has hitherto enjoyed as n city of the first class. The only ques tion arising Is to whether or not It Is neces sary to have the governor muko proclamation that South Omaha Is n city of the second class , but that section In refer ence to ttio proclamation bv the governor savs that will-never any city shall hereafter have attained a population of . " , OJO or loss than 25,0X ( ) , and such fact shall have been duly ascertained and cortlllod by the mayor nf such city to the governor , thu governor shall by proclamation so declare the city to bo a city of the second class and subject to the provisions of this act. "As it is a mail or of record prior to the piHsago of this act that South Omaha had over llvo thousand inhabitants a proclamation by the governor , perhaps , Is not uccossarv. "Tho most serious dlftlculty that nt Dvosoiit would stnro South Onmhn In the fneo Is In reference to Its taxes nnd the assessing and collection thereof , as an/ttfmi ' 1(1 * -\irilrW tlidt tlm nlti * ifitltiutt shall certify to the county clerk the amount of tax levy for city purposes nnd the county ooimiiloilonoi-s shall nmko the assessment. This applies ns wall to special assessments for improvements , otc. , ns to Roneral taxes. Hut the Usual year of a city of the second class ( JK3S not lic lu until the second Monday lu August , so that even these matters In reference to taxation hy following out the provisions of sections : t'j nnd10 may bo ad justed so that no ( jreat trouble will nfiso. "It Is to ho hoped for the Rood name of the city that the present complications In ref erence to this unexpected position in which the rity is placed will > ) o speedily sot straight. Undoubtedly the trouble has nnsen by Inad- vcrtenco upon the part of the legislature or these who had the matter in charge to look after such cities ns South Omaha. That thov have made a bull of the law there can bo no question , although us I said before it is to be hoped that the credit of the city will not auffcr. . "Tho principal kickers will probably bo the present olllcials ns under the Inw govern ing citius of the second class their salaries will bo cut down about throo-fourths. " Itrokc Ills IU'K.

Burlington Anxious to Raduoo Ooal Bates to Missouri Hivjr Points. COMMISSION CONSIDERING THE CHANGE. Mny Itcsult In n Rom-rnl Kevin- Ion of tlio Western I'Yeljjht 'Jnrlir Statement r the Cinrino , July 23. Ttio commissioners of thu Western Passenger association heard arguments today in thu caseof the L'hlc.iijo , Iturllngton & Qiilncy for authority to rodtico the rate on coal from Chicago to the Missouri river. Tho'nppllciktlon was made in dofor- cnco to the wishes of the co.tl dealers hero who forsomo tlmo have had to compete with coal from the east , shipping largo quantities by way of St. Louis nnd the Missouri Pa- c'llc. ' That all the coal from eastern points to Omaha and beyond should bo shipped by the rou to imlic.itod created the im- ptesslon that tbo Missouri Pacillo was cutting rntos. At the recent mooting of the Western Freight association the Hurllngton asked permission to reduce the rate from Chicago , but the privilege was not granted , nil the ether roads voted against it except the liock Island. The Burlington then exposed the case to the commissioners nnd at the hearing today tbo representative of that comp.uiv nmdo n a strong argument in which he practic.illy nccused the Missouri Pm-illo of cutting coal rates. This brought out an indignant rouly from Ctcncrai Freight Agent Parker and n stormy debate followed in which the Hock Islnnil rnnrnsnntfitlvo took nnrt In sunnort of the Burlington's position. The commis'ion- ors took the matter tinder ndvi omout. FINI.KV AXI ) THU ST. I'VtT. . Chairman Finloy of the Western Passenger association gave his decision today In the matter of complaints against the Chicago , Milwaukee tc St. Paul nnd the Wisconsin Central lines for making rates from St. Paul to Toronto by way of Milwaukee on the oc casion of the educational convention. Ilo held.that these roads violated a provision of thu agreement in failing to nut into effect the ruling made by tbo chairman at thu time , nut as no harm had boon dr > no to nuy other Him ho refrained from inflicting nny penalties The most Important part of thu decision Is that In which Mr. Fintcy takes thu position that those roads , under the agreement , have no right to use through fares via Milwaukee upon nny basis lower than the agreed through f.ires for the reason that there is no provision for them in any of the existing rule sheets. Ho excuses it in this instance be cause the roads nro privileged to meet out- sldo competition , and the See line had really made thu rate used by them , but hu insisted that there was no authority for using throuch excursion rntos via Milwaukee. General Passenirer Agent Heafford of the Milwaukee iSt. . Paul says ho will not sub mit to this decision , but will appeal to arbi tration. Xo ComtiinntioiiH. BOSTON- , July US. A director of ttio Boston & Maine nilroid today said : "There can bo no foundation for the reports connecting the Boston & Maine with anv other ro.ul except what there may bo found in increased busi ness of the Boston & Maine. Its territory Is pretty well defined and all attempts to ally its llnanccs with the Now York & Now Eng land on the south and the Canadian Paclllc or Grand Trunk on the north will bo found in the future as in the past to be schemes that have no basis in the Boston > t Maine management. The road will never go out of Now England. The trallio between the Ca nadian roads and the Boston > t Maine is , I believe , Increasing. Wo are building n short cut off. and nn elevator up by the Canadian border to facilitate this business. Mr Van Horn and Mr. Furber scorn to get along very well together in the mutual development of business , but as to the Boston As Maine going into nny grand transcontinental scheme , that is too absurd for contradiction.

"Thero Is a young man living up In the northwest part of the city , " said a prominent member of the Second Presbj-torian church , yostordny , "who oughtto bo exposed. His father is one of tbo most respected and rospect- nblo old gentlemen in the city , but the young man is n tough. Oflatoho has been doing the neighborhood ami particularly thn mombora of the church to which his father belongs , borrowing money upon the strnncth of the father's credit nnd good iiuino. Ho camu to my house last Sunday and hu needed n .small bum of money for n fuw hours until his parents returned from church. 1 loaned him n dollar. I subsequently learned that he had boon to half a dozen of my neigh bors with the same story nnd had collected considerable money. Hu .spends all hu can got for liquor and leads a di oluta Ufa. Ills father is well nigh heartbroken over bis son's conduct but ho don't know about the fraudulent borrowing that the young man has recently uaoplcd us u mouns of getting money.
