Judge Pmicly Comments on I lit' Chiingo of
Ainoile.in Muter \Vnrli4 IlL-colvers ,
The American \Vutor Works plant , which
supplies the cities of Omaha and South
Omiua with water , is a stupendous a It air.
The magnitude of the business may bo
estimated by u glance nt the report filed to
day In the United States court by Mr. Ellis
Blcrboivcr and Mr. Alonzo Ilunr , who were
uppolnlod receivers for the plant last Fob-
ruary. The report sets forth n detailed
account of the receipts and expendi
tures of the ofllco by mouths. The rccolpta
have been ovorgJS.OOO per month aurine the
tftno covered by the report. The total re-
cotpts ns given in the report for the eight
mouths \\ero JJiS.Ty'J.C'J. ' The disburse
ments , Incltidlsi ; thu $14,000 paid into court ,
were equal to tno receipts. In adulllon to
paying the running expenses , of the plant ,
repairs , etc. , n considerable umouiit'was re
quired to pay interest on bonds
The lopcrt was tllod ami Judge Dundy
Issued an order calling upon thu attorneys
for the wing of the corporation which op-
po > od the nppointmcnl of the receiver to
nppcar within ten days nnd ahow cause ,
U they Irivo uny to show , why the report
shnulu not bo received.
Spenlunp of the matter Judeo Dundy said :
"When I appointed Mr. Helrbuwrr and Mr.
Hunt receivers of this water works plant 1
took particular pains to have thu matter so
fixed tuat the interests of the illy could not
suffer. U'hllo I only demamlod a bond of
flO.WO of thorn , ut the same tlmo I made it
obligatory on the part ef Mr , Blorbower to
pav the money Into the court as fast as it
accumulated In sums of f\000. in that way
I keep money enough under the control of
the court to brldiso over auy possible emer
gency , .lust huw matters nro going to work
from now on I cat nut suv , The receiver
kppolntcd to succeed Mr , Blorbowcr hai not
bcon required to give local bondsmen or to
piy uny of the money collected into court.
lie has been given prntty wtdo lalltudo and
In case bo wishes to miinlpuluta the plant In
the Interests of the Denver concern and
nedtnat the interests of Omahn , I think the
city will have a difficult Umo In bringing
him or his bondsman to Umo. If It ever becomes -
comes necessary to appeal to the courts or to
fall cack oh the ncescn ; receiver1 bosditnon
throucD the courts the action will have to bo
broucht in Now York or Now Jersey.
"I do not wish to appear in the light of a
crltlu findlne fault with ihoactlouof a fellow
, Judo , but I bcltovc * , nevertheless , that the
Interests of the city of Ojianu have not
been properly guarded In the appointment of
\ho rreicut receivers. I hope that nothing
will make- necessary for the city to go Into
court In order to make tUo water works com
pany to comply with us contract , but if such
nn emergency houd ( aruo vou will see a
tight that will make the Inhabitants weep. "

There appears to bo a general mlsunder-
tanding about thu relations between Syndl-
ale park and ihcpablic. This romantic and
3cau.ll ful ttaut ot rough but attractlvo wood-
nnd is owned by the South Omaha Land
ompany. The company numbers among lie
membjra several of the wealthiest men In
Omaha , Including Peter Her , W. A. Paxton ,
lormau Kountzo and others.
The par * tract proper Includes only about
ifty acres embracing the lakes and the ra-
Ino stretching along in a northwest and
nutbcnst direction between Omaha arid
South Otnahrt about whore Twentieth street
voulo run If extended u balf-milo south ot
t'lnton. But the tract known to the public
ns Syndicate park includes 10S ucros lying
east of Twenty-third strcot , north ot G
street and south of A street and extending
n a soutboist direction to n point whore Six-
; eenth street would moot G otreol m South
Omaha.
About three years ago tbo company made
> omo expensive Improvements about tbu
.akes in the center' of the tract indicating
that it would bo set aside some tlmo us n
rtormancut park. For a time the water from
; ho spiings was utilized for geucral purposes
n South Omaha hut that was. finally done
away with when tbo American Water Works
company got control of the Held. Since the
mprovcmenU wore made around the lakes
and springs in tbu center of the tract the
place has become verv popular us a pleasure
resort for picnic parties and Pleasure seekers
during the summer months. Tbo public
looks upon me place as a public park , but in
this tbo impression has been erroneous. Thu
tract has never boon platted excepting tor
the convenience of the owncr.s and it has
never been dedicated as u park at all. U Is
simply a piece ot open land upon which Iho
owners have seen lit to moKe some improve
ments Indicating that at some Umo it would
be made a public -lark.
I'osltlon of tlio ( Miners.
There Is an Impression abroad that the
adjacent lots outside of the 10s-acro tract
huvo been sold by the company upon the
representation that this was to oe u public
park , but the owners llatly deny that tboy
have ever set forth any such n thing iu thu
snlo of lots.
'Hero is ono of our blank deeds , " said a
mcmbtr of tbo company , "you can see for
yourself whether there Is anythlnir : n it
about the pane. "
Ihe park wns not even mentioned lu the
dead and the member of iho company lo
whom the reporter was talking saU that all
their deeds wcro Just Hkn that ono.
"Wo nro not obliged to maintain tt park
there , " ho continued , "and wo have decided
to fence the tract so that wo can control it
bolter. It will still ha obtainable for picnic
purpo3es but parties who wish to use it
"
will"bo obliged to get permission of the
company hero at imj ofllce. The company
would sell the tract to the city at iivery
reasonable price but the park commissioners
do not seem to want it , so wo have fenced it
in. "
"Havo you heard any complaint from
properly ownei-3 in the vtciultv of the park
since you bozan lo fence the tract In J"
"None hut the complaint of ono man , who
lives south of the park , who has bcon in iho
habit of drivine through our giounda wbon
ho came to Omaha. Ho complains that It
is farther around than it was through tba
park. But I hardly think that we shall bo
obliged * o taKedoivn the fenro i'i order to
lot that man have n waon road across our
property. "
A member of tbo Pane commission was in
tcrviewed wllh regard to tao attitude of the
board toward the owners ot Syndicate park.
Trouble ( or the Turk Itoard.
"The trouble with the Syndicate park
deal1 said he , "U that the owner * wanted
to sell us a hole In the ground at a very
hlch prica. The park commissioners wanted
some land ttlonir with the hole , but tbo
owners of the tract wanted us to pay three
prices for U and wo refused to entertain the
proposition , because wo believed we could do
much better by the public to go down
toward ttio river arid buy a more
level und desirable piece of ground.
Wo have not succeeded yet In getting Just
what we want , but I thlok wo will oventu-
allv get hold of a piece of land for a south
side park that will bo much more desirable
than the Syndicate tract and at u'much loiver
prlco. I am of the opinion that the owners
of the Syndicate pane tract thought that
they would worx up a tremendous nuului
sentiment when tboy began to fou'co in
their property and that tbo park
commissioners would bo compelled
' , o purchase their land. Hut they have beua
disappointed In this. The _ _ sentiment in
favor of purchasing Syndicate psrk is not
what they honea It would be , nnl : I tnlnk In
time they will see that the public can got
nlonc without thejr land and then they will
bo willing lo soil It at what it Is worth. The
land Is so rough that they can uiaKo nothing
out of It anvway. nnd they will bvoutunlly
have tojioll it or glvo It to either Omaha or
South Omaha. That Is my opinion nbout
the matter , nt least , and 1 think tlicro are
other members of the board wba.iook at it lu
about the same light. "
Work is progressing In RomU "park , but
owing to the shortness of funds .nearly nil
work on tbo other parks , excepting the
bui'.diucrof the hot house at Hanscom , ha

Mr. Cleveland , the landscape gardener ,

1I
dav I looking alter the flinnciat end of the
system , in taliiine to u BSE rjprcsonwtlvo
yesterday of iho earnings ot the road said :
'All ' things considered the year now closing
will compare very fax'ornbly with the
best year In our history. Wo
have done n romurkablo business in
Nebraska and Kansas , Oregon and
Washington not showing up so well ns in
previous years. Our southern connections
are suffering considerably on account of tl.o
failure of the whcutcrop in Texas , but taken
altogether IsM promises to bo ono of our
best years. In 1SS9 I think wo did the
largest business since the road was bull * .
Everything seemed to work together for our
good. Since that time wo nave felt thu
shortage of crops lo Nebraska and
Kansas , the unsettled condition ot
uffaird in Oregon nnd Washington
and Ihe shortaco of the wheat crop in 1'exaf.
\ \ hen onu section of the country is yrojpcr-
oils by some stningo treat ; of nature another
section may bo starvingnnd tbo rultrocd
feels these changes to n grcaler dcgivo thru
any other corporation , tor It depends upon
the people for patronage. t
"As to the road Itself It is in excellent con
dition , Mr. Clark having Just returned from
an oxtondci' tour of ( no system. "
When Mr. Mink was asked lo give some
opinion as lo the union depot
matter hosald that these questions had to bo
scltlcd at homo. Ho know Omaha nooJrd n
now depot and thought thu city , would uot
stand in Its own light ; moro than this he
would not SBV.
Mr. S. 11. H. Clark , in whoso ofllco the
pleasant interview with Mr. Mink took place ,
when asked as to Iho condition of the svstcm
said that ho found it in excellent ropMr , the
tracks well surfaced , the rolling atock in good
order nnd the employes ut pence vilh Iho
policy of the systnm. But Mr. CUrk was
reticent when asked as to Iho result iho
Cable and Miller letters would have upon
tbo council in settling the depot embrogllo.
Ho was f runic enough to say , however , that
ho boned the affair would bo brought to a
speedy K-rniination and Iho depot completed.
Then tbo reporter Intimated that mnny of
Omaha's representative cltiznns contended
that tbo depot should bo located
at the foot of Farnam streel.
Without the least hesitation and in
his quiet , Impressive way the president of
the Union Pacific sula : "Thero is no doubt
but that it should have boon located there.
You may not know It , but I held an option
on tbo property contemplated for depot pur
poses at Ninth and Farnam streets for quito
a while until it was decided to build whore
the depot now .stands. But it would
cost a great amount of monny to
change tbo silo now , moro moaoy I
think than the directors would conclude to
spend. "

Ciiicioo , 111. , Nov. 3. Great Interest is
manifested In the forthcoming mealing of
managers representing the roads In the
Western Freight association lo bo held
November 10. It appears that some of the
lines have disregarded the provisional agree
ment which provided for the strict mainten
ance of tariff rates until united action
could bo taken ou the ' . .reposition
to establish a tonnage pool. The
Kansas City. Fort Scott & Memphis road is
no longer making any preicnsa of maintain
ing rates from iho Atianllc seaboard to the
Missouri river. It declares , however , that
it is only meeting the Irregular competition
of certain Chicago-Kansas Citv road , and It
threatens lo rotallnto still further by reduc
ing rates to the basis of S.1 cents for lint
class from Now Yorlc lo Kansas City. The ,
agreed bails U $ l.a. > .
There seems to bo no likelihood that tbo
eastern and western roads wi'l agree on u
uniform basis of passnnger rates for the
World's fair , The conditions uro widely
dllT rent in the different territories , The
eastern roads will bo called upon to carry
many moro passengers than the western
roadj and will not airreo to a lower rate than
a faro and one-third for the round trip from
Atlantic coust points. Even at that rate
tboy expect to have moro business than they
can possibly handle wllh even ihelr largely
increased equipment. For this reason tbov
are not In favor ot Iho proposed mast meet
ing which they have boon requested lo
attend in this city November ! KJ. 1'ho ma-
Joritv of the western roads will insist unon
a ODD faro rate for the round trip. The
eastern roads aru willing that tnoy should
make such a rale , but for themsoivos , they
will reserve the right to make their own
rato.

E. L. Lomax , coneral passenger ajent of
the Union Pacific , said to a reporter yester
day morning lhat notwithstanding tbo Union
Pacitlo was out of tnoTransmlssoiiri associa
tion since November 1 , ho proposed to bo
very conservative regarding rates and would
maintain them as long as the o'.hor roa Is ad
hered to the agreement. "People nn-
ticlpatcd that I would out rates , "
said Mr. Lomax , "when wo were out
of the association , but instead of that 1 bavo
put in winter tourist rates nt n blight ad
vance over last year. ThU will bo our policy
tnroughout.
"As lo our paying commissions to brokers
on California business that Is absolutely
untrue. Wo are not engaged In the pas-
lime of cutting rates , our business at
present being to hold rates up to as
sociation agreements , for at best
wo haven't i > ny too much business
that wo can comfortably look after. You
mnv oay that wo are strictly attending to
our end of iho situation and only ask com
polttlvo lines to do likewise/ '

wbtit sporty ttip to Canada and Is now oc
cupying quartets in the county Jail.
Sidney Smith , ns ho was known hero , oirao
to Omaha In IbMl. About seven months ago
tbo truth of certain suspicions bcgau to crop
out when Smith executed a wholesale lot ot
rascalities , embracing embezzlement , filso
ptcionsos and forgery. Ho forged small
amount * on John D.Uo , Himer Frank ntiU
others , but In the nggrck'nto tt is estimated
that tits crooko.t transactions netted htm
somolhipg Ilko $ 'JOOJ , or JT.OJJ. Suddenly hit
dropped out of sight , but not out of memory ,
as tliori ) wcro any number of gentlemen , a
well ns n wife , nil of whom were anxious to
renew his acquaintance. Oflleors wore sent
lush ana low , but no trace of the Meeting
architect could bo discovered , anil sotna
people were so chnritabtn as to claim that
the mm had committed stilclac.
This theory wont with the people who had
not sintered bv the Httlo strokes of .Sidney's
pen , but'tbosp who had bcon his victims .
laughed at tha suicKto story nnd maintained I
the architect had llown to o'hcr lands and |
tnat there was u woman mixed up with the
case. The case w.ia reported to the eastern
detective agencies , but the mnmbcrs ot the ,
foro.'s wore unublo to locate the man who
wu wnntcd.

During Iho month of July last , ox-Mayor
dishing happened to ba In Toronto , Can. ,
ritnl ono day us bo was walking down on-
of the streets ho happened to see Smith , I
hut before ho could speak to the nrchltoctj
ho had slipped around a corner and was out'
of bight. When Mr. Cusbtux returned to. .
Umuhu ho reported ihe discovery to some ot
the men who nau bucr. caught in tbo Smith
net , and thev In turn gavu Iho information
"
to Attorney "N H. Tunnlclitl. Ho at once
commenced working on the case by corresponding
pending with the Canadian authorities. Ho
icnt picture , of Smith and wns soon eatlsflcdt
that the man who was wanted was in To- '
route , going under the namoof H. J. Thomas
and was living with a woman at ITU Mutual
street. After gathering the needed informa
tion , Mr. Tunnicliff secured the necessary
extradition papers ana started , reaching
Toronto last Sunday afternoon. Ho reported
to police huadquartcrs and lonrncd that his
man was still in the cltv. Instructions were
given nnd tlio following morning Smith WRS
arrested and brought in und Informed that )
ho win booked for u trio to Omnhn. .
there to tuco the charges that baa
been tiled against him. After thlcking thai
mutter over ho said that ho was reaay to ,
start. Thu next morning , accompanied by si

appointed n United btnios oflldlal , und hi *
man started. '

Trlnil to Commit Snlcldi" ,
Unlit yostcrdav morning the trip-was fea-
tnroU'hsi but when some llfty miles out from
Omaha , Smith made a ucsperati effort to
UKo a hurriea trip over the divide. Tuoul-
clllT and his charge were occupying n sec
tion of the slccuor ' nnd had spent a quiet
night. Shortly'nftor 5 o'clock ' Mr. Tunnl-
clifl arose nnd xvont to the toilet room ,
leaving iho porinr on watch.- Smith was
sleeping soundly us a lo ? , when all of n
MiJueii ihi ) colored nun rushed Into
iho tollci room , dccbirini ; that "that'
man ivas going to me. " Wnen Mr.
TunniclifT. returned to the section lu
which Smith was lying ho found a pretty
state of alTalrs. Hi : eyes were rolling about
nnd ho was vomiting UP everything except
his boots. , A doctor was culled and after ad
ministering several doses of mcdlclno
the m-in was brought round and con
vinced that the time had not arrived for him
to start on a trip to the iroldon shorn. lu
cearcbing Ills poouets a foar-ounca bottle
which had contained chloroform wns found
in DUO of his pocknts , hut how it gut there
was a mvsterv , us hit was searched when ar
rested , ngain nt BulTnlo and again at Chl-
cigo. On tno bottle there wns a label bearing
the words , "J. W. Clark , druggist , Twenty-
ninth \Voohvorlhnvcnuc , Omaha , chloroform
form/ ' The bottle , Mr. Tunnicliff tblnkt ,
Smith bought before ho loft Omaha and kept
It about his p.TjQii for thu purpose of com
mitting stiioulo .should ho be arrested.
When nsked wbv ho took the stuff , he re
plied that it was for tha purpose of making
him sleep. All that prevented Stnith from
dvlng was the fuel that ho took nu overdose ,
which made him vomit instead of putting
him to sleep.
lu Toronto Smith , or Thomas us ho was
there known , wns following his profession
nnd was making considerable monoy. Ills
appearance bus not changed , with the ex
ception that he is considerable tnlnnar than
ho xvas when ho loft hero. His long Umhv

indicates that ho has had trouble , The
