LATEST WATER WORKS LITIGATION
Charge * I'llod Alleging Hint thn Hn-
tlre Dnnl of tlin Nfetr .loriojr In
corporation \Vns lllcRAl W.nnt
the Deal Declared Volil.
A cross-complaint has been llled by the
American Water Works company of Illinois ,
ngalnst the United Water Works company ,
the American Water Works comp.iny of
Now Jersey , the Denver City Water Works
company , E. Hyde Uust , ct ill.
The eross-complulnl Is a voluminous docu
ment and seems to cover every point of the
caso. Opening , It relates briefly the history
of the company'sorganlzntlon and Its acquire
ment of tint Omaha system setting fortn the
conditions of the franchise under which the
plant was acquired , nnd claiming the In
ability of the company to properly comply
with the sumo under present conditions.
The orator states Unit the Denver City
Water Works company was organized in No
vember , IbUO , for Iho purpose of purchasing
the property of the Denver Wntor company ,
the Beaver Brook Water company and the
Mountain \Vatcr company , which was done ;
not , the orator claim with the full consent
of the stockholders of the three latter com
panies , among whom Is ex-Attorney Ucncral
Wayne MacVeagh of Pennsylvania , who
voted agtinst the transfer of the property
end who , it Is claimed , will bring suit to
secure the annulment of the convoy.uico.
it Is furthermore claimed by the company
that It had no right , under the terms
of Its franchise , to sell or con
voy Its property , thereby depriv
ing itself of the moans of ful
filling the said contract. The special meet
ing of the directors held in Calcago in Feb
ruary , 18'Jl. ' ut which only four members
were present Is declared a "fake"
and a fraud , and the complaint also alleges
that the meeting of March 10 of that year
was not on the square , inasmuch as the call
was signed only by President Underwood ,
who , it Is alleged , held only ! ) ,800 shares of
the stock und did not state m the call the
amount of his holdings ; and , further , that
the call for the meeting was not published .
in a newspaper nnd that the notices were
not sent out thirty days In advance , as re
quired by the constitution.
It is also claimed that Joseph A. Grifiln
acted as secretary of the meeting and voted
most of the stock of the company by proxy ,
and that ho illegally voted the stock of the
United Water company and Solon L. Wiley ,
both of which parlies repudiated tils action.
Therefore , it is alleged , not over 5U70
shares ot preferred stock and 1,4124 of com
mon stock were rightfully voted nt that or
any subsequent meeting. Only Messrs. Uu-
derwood. Griflln and J. U. Custor , the holder
of 11 vu shares , were present ut the meeting ,
it is alleged , and the former did the voting
and verified the contracts for the transfer of
the property.
Altoecil Illegal Action.
It is sot forth , also , that the Denver
water company in taking llko action , acted
illegally.
The orator sets forth in strong terms tno
history of ; ho organization of the new com
pany under the laws of Now Jersey , and
states a belief that the measure
was not according to Hoylc , In
asmuch as all cities and towns In
that state of over 15,000 population
own or control their own water systems ,
and that the articles of incorporation of the
now company do not so comply with the
statutes as to permit it to operate in the
smaller towns of the state.
The conveyance of the company's fran-
chlso in April , 1SU1 , oy President Under
wood and Secretary Hall is called illegal ,
the complainant alleging that Hall accom
panied Underwood to Denver , taking with
him the seal of the Omaha company , and
that thn instruments of conveyance were
executed there and not in Douglas county.
It is claimed by the complainant that before -
fore the consolidation It was making money ,
but that If the action of Mr. Underwood
holds peed It cannot pay its obligations ,
among which is a llojting indebtedness of
S125.000.
Closing , the statements in the petition for
Receiver liust's removal are reanirmea , and
his permanent removal and the appoint
ment of another receiver ; it Is
claimed that the consolidation Is
not legal under the laws of Illinois ,
which provide only for the consolidation of
corporations in the same vicinity , that there
should have been a vote of two-thirds of the
stock nt the special mooting ; and that
Messrs. Vernier nnd Underwood put up the
Job for the mirposo of helpini ; themselves.
U is prayed that the proceedings leadlnir
up to a transfer bo declared Illegal , as well
ns Mr. Grlllln's use of the proxies of the
United Water company and Solon U Wiloy ;
that the or.itor hud no right to convoy its
property nor the New Jersey company to
accept the conveyance , and that In the
event that the Now Jersey com
pany refuses to roconvoy the property
that a commissioner bo appointed to
bring about a recojivojance. An accounting
is also called for , nnd thq permission of the
court to apply pre. ont profit to the payment
of past due bond coupons. 1

Some tmio ago Mrs. lllttlngor and Miss

AFTER THE ERMINE.
AInnjr Utsclplo of lllnckntono Waiting for
Cunt ( lit .ludlclnl Klilmcnt.
The May term of the district court ad
journed several weeks ago , but , notwith
standing that fact , Judge Davis was about
the court house yesterday , holding court In
chambers and signing some orders which
have been hanging in the balance. The
principal object that the Judge had in doing
this was to clear the decks before stcpnlng
down into the rough and uneven walus of
private life.
Some months ago Tuc BEG announced ex
clusively through Its columns that with the
coming of September Judge Davis would re
sign his position upon the bench and resume
the practice of law , and now It is enabled to
corroborate the announcement and state
with authority that next Monday morning
Judge Davis will forward his resignation to
Governor Crounso , to take effect immedi
ately upon its receipt. After THE BEE had
first given the information to the public
there was n great hustling among the
members of the Douglas county bar , and
for a time it seemed that almost every law
yer in the city was anxious and willing to
take up and wear the cast off ermine.
Things , however , have changed to some ex
tent until the lists have narrowed down
until there are scarcely a dozen men in the
entire Judicial district who have announced
their willingness to hoar arguments , pass
upon knotty law points and draw the salary
that goes hand in hand with the ofllco.
This vacancy will belllledby the governor ,
but the lucky man will hold the position
hardly long enough to win his spurs , for his
successor will have to bo elected at the gen
eral elcetion to bo held in November. In
this connection it might be stated that there
will be two other vacancies upon tlio
bench , as both Judge Ogdcn and
Judge Walton hold their positions by
appointment , the former getting his
through ex-Governor Boyd and the latter
his through Governor Crounse. Judge
Ogdcn is not a candidate for election , but
Judge Wnlton has put up his lightinlnc rod
and fs willing that it should bo struck by a
political thunderbolt.
Regarding the question of who shall servo
upon the bench the lawyers of the district
propose to have a word to say , and with this
end in view they have called a bar meeting
of the district , which will convene in the
largo court room in the court house
on August iiO , at which time and
place they will decide who shall
load the various forces through
the political fight. In speakingof thismeet-
ng the leading members of the bar state
that they will work for the nomination and
election of a nonpartisan judiciary , adding
that they intend to select the best men , re
gardless of their past political aftitiatlons.
The calling of this meeting has resulted
n the candidates having declared them
selves and at this tune the following named
legal stars have appeared In the political
liorbon : E. H. Dulne , W. S. Curtis and B.
E. B. all of whom
Kennedy , are dyed-ln-the-
wool democrats , while on the republican
side Judge Walton , John L , . Kennedy , J , H.
Blair , Gcorco W. Ambrose , J. W. Carr and
"Will Redick are candidates for honors.
After having disposed of the question of
the district judges , the attorneys from the
outside counties of the district will with
draw , and the Douglas county legal lights
will take a hand for the ourposo of deciding
who shall run for the position of county
fudge , the main object being to have the
place flllod by some lawyer of ability. This
l > lan will bo fought by the present Incum
bent , who for months has been laying the
lines fora second term , but the lawyers
claim that they have him on the run , and
that ho will fall early in tlio light , and that
his name will bo mentioned In history , only.
If you are in need of stoneware wait
until Friday. Ilaydon Bros ) .

The preliminary hearing of "Dr. " Ward ,
\vho was accused of the murder of William
Rogers Garner , was concluded yesterda.v
afternoon , and the prisoner was discharged
because there was not enough evidence tc
convict him. Immediately after his dls
charge Sergeant Haze swore out a warranl
charging ward with the illegal practice ol
mcdiclno , Judge Berlin fixed the bonds ol
thb prisoner at $300. Ward was remanded
to jail In default of ball.
During the preliminary trial for murdci
Ward took the stand in his own behalf. He
said that after ho and Garner went to his
room ho gave the deceased two injections ol
diluted alcohol. Garner asked him for a
glass of water , and ho went out to got some
thing to cat. When ho came back ho said he
found that Garner had drank part of the
water and noted ns if ho had taken mor
phine. Ho claimed that Garner told him he
had taken about n grain of the ( Irug. be

Ono of the brilliant features with Reeves
& Palmer's Cosmopolitan company , which ap
pears at the Farnam Street theater next
Sunday , Is Prof. Abt and his wonderful dis
solving views , illustrating In a superb man
ner , wonders of the World's fair , nod the
foreign displays ot the Midway pltiisanco ,
lncluttlngtho Ferris wheel and the grand
buildings , and reproducing gems from the
Art gallery. Ho also gives n panoramic
sightseeing tour of the world , placing before -
fore you in n comprehensive manner sights
from many countries , entrancing visions of
the Orient , the pushing.busylifo of the Occi
dent , and rriany interesting imitations of mo-
chanicul ottects , such us the eruption of
Mount Vesuvius , the destruction of Pompeii ,
olc. Prof. Abt is only one of the many
strong features with Ileeves & Palmer's
company. Every act Is a distinct novelty
nuil a surprise. The music halls of Europe
ana America have contributed to make this
the strongest vaudeville show on the road.
This Is circus day and the big Forepaugh
shows , with its famous herd of trained
elephants and other attractions , will bo here
before the majority of the citizens arc up
and stirring. The coming of the shows will
send ninny curiosity seekers out in the
early light to the Union Pacillo depot or to
the show grounds at Twentieth and Paul
streets , but the greater part will bo con
tent to wait for the starting of the parade
at 10 o'clock.
The trained elephants have had an inter
esting addition to their number this season
in Baby Uuth , n little 12-months-old pachy
derm , Imported from Ceylon. She Is said
to bo the smallest elephant over imported.
There Is a company of trained beasts this
season of a somewhat more savage nature
than the big elephants. .The first act in the
circus tent , and one which is said to furnish
a strong inccntivo to the early comer , Is the
performance of two full-grown lions , two
leopards , two panthers , two dogs and a bear
in u big cage in the center of the circus tout.
These animals are pupils of George Arstlng-
stall , the celebrated animal tamer , who had
charge of Jumbo at the tlmo ho was killed ,
and who afterwards spent some six .years In
Hamburg , putting to-rothor novel nuimnlacts
for Hagenbcck. Mr. Aratlhgstall has had
charge of the menagerie of the Foropnugh
circus since It came into the control of its
present owners. Another of the novelties
of the present' season Is the spectacle of
" 1770 the American Koyqlution" in which
the chief events In the war ttfat 'gave inde
pendence to the American colonies are de
picted. A third now act Is the horsemanship
of a troop of Cossacks , brought pVor from the
liluck sea region by special contract with
the Russian government. - - ,
The Foropaugh shows arc now owned
equally by James A. Ualloy and f T. McCad-
don , and are managed by the latter. Mr. Me-
Caddon is a young man , perhaps 35 years of
ago , and is himself as great an example of
the change that has comb in the show busi
ness in recent years as is the exhibition ho
controls. If there has been an evolution in
the circus , so there has In the circus man
and the ' 'typical showman" of swell clothes ,
swaggering ways and loud lunguagq has dis
appeared. Mr. McCaddon is a quiet ,
nervous man who has never used liquor or
tobacco and who is never hoard to swear.
His discipline is severe , but the man who

Considerable has been written about the
reductions that have taken effect , on the
Union Puclflo during the past two months ,
but It-has been of so frngmontary n nature
that one naturally forgot from one day to
the other what had-bocn done. '
Men have been laid off In , every depart
ment , the working hours of the shop em
ployes have been reduced , gangs have been
curtailed : track hands hitvq felt the full
effect of the fltianclal stress , train agents
have been discharged , oftlcos have been
closed , In short the whole system has felt
the headsman's ax.
But the wholesale reduction has not been
without Its effect on the expenses , having
reduced the total expenses of the company
for the month of 'July $250,000 , which Is ex
pected to run HX,000 during August.
Counting an railroad men rookon wages , the
reduction of fciM.OOO during the month of
July is equivalent to 4,000 men working one
full day. The railroad man figuring the
wage question computes that If n man has
worked fourteen days during the month and
Is discharged he is equivalent to fourteen-
thlrtleths of a man working one day. If
three men have worked ten days each dur
ing the month and are let out the reduction
is equivalent to ono man. Add. however ,
$30,000 to last month's reduction in salaries
in consequence of the curtailment in the
force and August will show , a still further
Increase in the number of men reduced ,
probably something llko 4,500 , working ono
day , figures startling in their nature when
thus brought homo to the careful reader.
Yet these reductions have been imperative ,
as the llgurcs will show in the comptroller's
ofllcu.
Erastus Young , spanning this morning
of still further reductions , said that wher
ever possible they were still reducing the
force. When asked about the outlook , do
said : "It Is aboutlns dark as the weather
outside. I can seouo increased movement in
freight , and the Jack of confidence in the
country gives little hopa of immediate bet
terment. "
When asked astto what the showing of the
Union Paclllc would bo on August business ,
and what the percentage of loss would bo ,
Mr. Young closed'up like a Jackknlfe , meta
phorically speaking. Ho had tupcrs requir

thing else Just at'that particular time.

Of nil very small creatures the ant ap
pears to bo the most gifted with intelli
gence. Ono of the proofs of this is the
way m which in a battle-they carry off
ttioir dead. Tlite they do.aw carefully as
real soldiers , caring for them in the roar
out of danger. 'They will help each
other fight and'never mistake friend for
fee , ovori in the dark. They inarch in
regular array way und have olllcors , and

Another thingiaund out about the ants
is that they iJceop pots. The pot 19 a
kind of a cat or. a dog-of the family a
very small ant t not a quarter as big us
the usual sort. tBoraotlmes they got on
the backs of the others , between their
logs and all around and about , und re

our children have to play with. The
ant loves fun ; Hip takes another ant up
in his arms , carries him uwhilo and then
llings him downfall in a heap , und then
they go on their way as happy as two
school boys who have had a wrestle.
The ants kcop nurses. Those are ants
which the others have captured in war.
They are inado to wait on the wounded.
