At the meeting of the tire and police com missioners last night CommmlBsloncr Strick- ler gave the city council n roaat. The occa sion was the reading of the report of tlio ccrrmmlttea on police of the council , which was published In full by tha lice In the proceedings it Us last meeting. When the reading \\us finished Mr. StrlcUlcr gave his iml.'gnatlon full sway and did not hesitate to unburden hlms'H In plain and unmistakable words , of his opinion of the report and of those who ndoptnl It. Ills contempt for the report , he said , was beyond wiprtsalon. The council , which was trying to Impeach Mayor Honils for not cn- fcjclng Hie gambling laws , was now recom mending that these laws be broken and the houses ba allowed to run open. livery mother's ' son of them ought to be impeached On HID eve of election they adopt a report that Is n disgrace.

HAVE RAISED THE BLACK FLAG Fuinncea nml Bnsj Barners Likely to Eat Up Less Money Than Ustvil. COAL DEALERS ARE OUT FOR BUSINESS I'M of itntlinirllc Takes a Tumb ( nml IM y Co l.nwrr I.Inly How Over Ito- ported Mulatlnna of tbe llules of the foul KiclnuiRC. At an early hour yesterday some of the members of the Omaha Coal exchange hung out the black flag , nnd thereon were Inscribed tlio uords , "War to the Knife. " Other mem bers of Iho exchange soon , discovered the flag and the threatening' motto and before noon hard coal tvas being retailed at $3.50 by every dealer In tlio city. As n result of the cut , teams and men were busy to such an extent that yesterday was the busiest day In the coitl line In the history o * the city. Last week the bard coal market closed with thu black diamonds retailing at $9 per ton , delivered , and that was the price when the sun mounted Into the skies yesterday , but It did not continue there for any great length of time , as all of the dealers caught the spirit of cutting and the knife was ut once plunged Into prices until an even halt dollar was plashed off with the consumeis smiling white , they got the benefit arising from the Mar. U Is alleged that the trouble all started In this way : The Omaha Coal exchange , to which most of the dealers belong' , have a rule to the effect that no firm , corporation or company shall ua upon the streets , solicit ing trade. If this rule Is violated , the ottcndliiK party Khali be subject to a line of } 2 , , , nnd shall not be allowed a seat In the exclnnge until the fine has been liquidated. Some da > s ago certain members of tlio ex change a\cr that they made the discovery that other certain inemberu hud men upon the business streets and In the residence portions tions of the city soliciting orders for hard coal , subject to future delivery. This , so It Is tald , was reported to the executive com mittee of the e-\change and a meeting called , at which the pirtlea charged with soliciting were Invited to step upon the carpet to ex plain the violation of the rules , regulations and compacts of the association. They were there on time and In full force. After the charges had ben read to the men who had been accused of paring off the prices , tlu-y simply Informed the members of the execu tive committee that they were selling coal as a business and were not In It for thi'ir health , nor were they to be bound by any rules that would be ruinous to their busf- ness Going beyond this point , they ga\a the executive committee to understand thnl almost everv dealer In the cltv had men working on the sly , soliciting orders. The meeting was devoid of results EO far as shoving up the old prices were concerned , and \vhen It was over every dealer In the city nut the prices on hard coal down to fS.DO per ton , Most of the dealers claim that they are losing money when they are retailing haul coal .it $ S.SO , claiming that It should be sold at from { 950 10 J9 75 In order to lake out a piollt. The men , nt lenbt thove who led off on the cut , state that this talk Is all bosh and point to the fact that the bids for fur nishing the haul coal for the city were as low as { 7 75 and that the dealer who se cured the contract will make money at lho e prices M Some of the dealers say that the war will be over within the next twenty-four hours , but those- who Instituted the cheap pi Ices say there will not be- any Jlrrnnoss in the market until the present stock Is dl poi-od ot and that Instead of prices going back to the old notch , they are more likely to go down another quarter. With one exception bard coal Is now cheaper than e\er before In the histoiy of the city. Seven years ago when the freight rates wtnt off to 25 c nts between Omulm and O'liltMgo coal sold for $7 35 for u tow days , but at that time the cut was only temporal y , for prices FOOH rallied and before Bpiing coal Totalled at $12 per ton. While th ? cut. of seven years ago was on , all of the j freight cirs of the roads centering In ; Omaha were piessed Into the coal business and for two months evei > siding for a dis tance of about 101) ) miles cast of this city was filled with cars loaded with roal. Last lull hard coal started In at $1050 per ton and told at an advance of & 0 cents befoic the close of the season At this price the dealers claimed that they were only coming out whole and that at a louor price they would lo e money.

Commissioners Knupar and Halcombo of the Hoard of Public Works have returned from their trip to Buffalo , N. Y. , where they attended the national convention of commissioners of public works. Chairman Wlnspear will spend another week with rela tives at Uufalo. and will not return before October 1. Mayor IJemts has designated Major Italcoinbe to net ns chairman of the ' board during Mr , Wlnspcar's absence I The commissioners are much pleased with their trip , and have acquired a number of new Ideas during their absence. The vis itors ivere received with onen arms , by Iho officials and cltbcns of Buffalo , and nothing was overlooked that could add to the pleasure of their sojourn In the city. They , enjoyed a trip to Niagara Tails and n steam boat trip on the lake , together with all ; other attractions that the city was able to furnish The Immense machinery by which the power of the great falls Is gathered nnd stored for the use of factories nnd municipal power was Inspected In detail. This plant i furnishes the power for the largest paper , mill In the world , and although the finan cial stringency has operated to prevent the location of many large establishments , so far the projectors of the enterprise expect that the industries of the city will be largely Migmcnted during the next five years. One of the. most Interesting features ot the city to the visitors was the hundreds of miles of asphalt pavement that have been re cently laid , and which has given Uuffalo the reputation of having the best paved streets of any city In the United Slates Both Mr. IJalcombe and Mr. Kaspar agreed that the results obtained In Uulfalo ivere far superior to Die work ot the same company In Omnha , anil In almost every Instance the pavements were put In at prices considerably leu than those uhich have been paid In Omahi. They did not consider It surprising that the pave ment cost a llttlo more In Omaha on account - I count of the greater freight on material and somewhat higher wages paid lo laborers , but deny that ( here Is any good reison why | the pavements laid In Omaha should not have been as good as those In Buffalo. Ono ] ot tl'O resultb ot the trip ot the commission ers will probably be that better pcrvlce will be Insisted on from the asphalt company In the future. tlio iievenlli : Street Viaduct. The case ol the city against the receivers of thu Union Pacific rallrcad. In which the rourt was aeked to issue an order to the le- ce.vers commanding them to repair the Eleventh street viaduct , will come up for final hearing at the November term of the United Slates court In thU city. The case has been hanging flre In the courts for s-oino time , and In the meantime the hands of the local officials have been tied , as far as taking any actlcn toward repairing the viaduct Is concerned. The suit was originally Inst tutcd In pursu ance of a resolution passed by the city council. The nrgumgnts wore lieaid by Judge CornMi , fitting ajs masterIn chancciy , who refused to IFSUO the order demanded. The only giound upon which he based his ijec-ifloii was that he ivould not compel tin- Union Pacific lo make any repairs unless there Mns a .showing made that provUlon had been made foi the ronK'luder of the uork I- 5ond the share" which fell to thai company.

Sunday Is usually a quiet day with the LOimty commissioners , as most of them re main In bed until a late hour , arising Just In time to gather a picked up breakfast prior to the- ! going to church. Sunday , however , was Just the opposite from being quiet , for they all hud callers before the rising of the Sunday sun. Men were at their doors betoro daylight , and some of them went so far as to ring out the com- misbloncis In order to press their claims for the position of keeper of the store and the privilege to diaw the salary , which , by the way. Is $75 per month. At no place did any of the applicants meet with the en couragement that would lead them lo Km opinion that they were destined to weigh out the sugar , coffee and beans to the county poor. In fact , none of them were told any thing that would lead them to hope that they were to be Invited to put on Burr's shoes for even a trial trip. Yesterday from early morn until the doors wern locked the basement of the rourt hous.0 was crowded with men who had claims upon the commissioners ami the coming vacancy , but none of them were encouraged. Over at the store buslntSH proceeded this vaino a usual , but It was apparent that there was a new man at the wheel , fir while Burr was having a general suparln- trndeney ever the business , Charles K.
