A new offcnso against the peaeo and Kootl
Jriler of the city of Omaha was created
yesterday afteinoon. Mayor llemls , Com
missioners Drown and Iea\er of the Hoard of
Vlro and Police Commissioners , Chief of
Police \\hlto and Sergeants Ormsuy and
\Vhalen were adjudged guilty of contempt of
the Judiciary committee of the city council.
\Vlialcn was fined $15" and the others $23
each for the alleged offense , which consisted
In their refusal to recognize the authority of
the committee to Inquire- Into the actions of
the commission. Each of them refused to
nnswcr the questions put by the committee
on the advlco of Judge Duanc , who acted
PS their attorney.
Thn proceedings were had at the session
of the committee to continue the Investiga
tion of the recent dismissal of policemen.
8. IOsborn , James II. Klik , S. U
risk , H. A. Wllber , 13. M. Arnold
and II. 1' . Haze , who were re
ccntly dismissed for cause , were examined
In the same manner as the witnesses of ths
previous session. They stated that they had
b en dismissed from the force , but with two
exceptions they said that they were Ignorant
of the reasons of their discharge. Ha/o
swore that he had been dismissed at the
Instance of Edward Hosewater On one oc
casion a Ilee reporter asked him what he
had to say In his own behalf in regard to
charges that had been made against him
At that time he told the reporter to tell
Mr Hosewater to go to h I , anil added an
obscene epithet Consequently he believed
that Mr Hosevvater was responsible for his
failure to hold his Job .
K. M Arnold said that ho was discharged
from the police force because he belonged to
the American Protective association HP
gave no reason why he Inclined to that opin
ion ,
I1EOAN THE PINING PROCESS.
After the testimony of the ex-pollctmcn
had been received the more Interesting feat
ures of the program were Introduced. Cnn I
of Police White was called In as a witness.
He was accompanied by Judge noan , v > lo
eaid that he did not understand by w'.at
right the committee assumed Juilsdlctlon in
the matter. The chief of police \\as not re
sponsible to this committee , nor tn ihe cliy
council , nor was any member of the Hoard of
Fire and Police Commissioners. The alleged
Investigation was a farce The commissioners
were responsible to the go\ernor alone and
the chief of police was responsible to tl.e
commission , and not to the city council. As
their attorney he should therefore advise
them not to reply to any questions that n eht
be aeked by the committee.
Then Chairman Saunders of the committee
began to quiz Chief White. He asked him
If he was a citizen of Nebraska , < f IIP hid
made a contract with the Hoard of Fire and
Police Commissioners , why men had been dis
missed from the police derailment and vari
ous other questions , to all of which the chief
Bild that under the advice of his attorn y he
declined to answer.
SaumlTs then asked the chief if It were
not a fact that there were several Pinkerton -
ton detectives now In Omaha and for wnat
purpose they were here. Chief White Bald
that he would like to answer that question ,
but Judge Doane advised him that lie should
not In nny way recognize the Jurlsdlc'Ian ' nl
the committee. Sounders then stated that he
was adjudged guilty of being In contempt ol
the committee and that he was fined $21.
The same process was then gone through
with when Sergeants Ormtby and Whalcn
were called. In Whalen'a case the fine VME
reduced to $15 because Saunders said that he
thought he was not as "guilty" as the others.
COMMITTEE'S AUTHOIUTY DENIED.
Mayor Hemls and Commissioners Brown ,
Heaver and Stiickler were then called In
Strlcklcr was his own attorney , but Judge
Doano appeared for the other three mem
bers of the board. He assured the com'
mlttce that the board was an Independent
body U had nothing to conceal , but It wouh
refuse to a Imlt the right of the commltte (
to make any official Investigation of Its nets
To do tills would be to establish a precedent
that might lead to serious complication !
and dldlcultles The committee had no. rlghl
to Interrogate his clients to gratify an hilt
curiosity when the Information thus ob
tained could not legally be made the babls
of any subsequent proceedings.
Commissioners Denver ami Hrown were pul
, on the stand and followed Judge Doane'i
advice by refusing to answer the question !
of the committee. They stated , however
that they 'would be glad to give the mem
bers of the committee as citizens any Information
mation they wished In regard to the mallei
In hand. Hut this was not what the com
mittee wanted , so they were also charged ur
with a $25 fine for alleged contempt
STUICKLEH COULD TELL , UTTIE.
It was the same way with Mayor Bemls
and then Mr. Strlckler took the stand. Hi
did not object to answering any question !
the committee might ask , but his Informa
tion was limited. The board made a con
tract with Martin J. White as chief of pollci
for $2,000 n year. He believed the contrac
was for two years and that the business met
of the city were to make up $500 additional
He knew nothing In regard to the dismlssa
of the policemen on July 3. as hens 0111
of the city at the time. When the seooni
detail of men was dismissed no charges wer (
died against them which appeared on tin
record. The new men were assigned t (
duty by regular action of the boaid. Hi
knew nothing about any Plnkerton men am
If any were lit the city he was not awnre o :
It , Siundors asked Strlckler whether tin
men had not been dismissal for scctarlai
or political reasons , but Strlckler said thai
he knew nothing about It.
The committee then adjourned until I
o'clock this afternoon , when It expects t (
complete the Investigation. In that case tin
report will probably bo submitted to thi
council at the adjourned meeting tonight
A member' of the committee Is authority foi
the statement that the tines assessed agalns
the witnesses will bo deducted from theli
salaries In the July appropriation ordinance
During nearly the entire afternoon W. J
Hroatch was In close conference with 1'resl
dent Edwards and others In the private olllci
of the prekldent of the council near the com
mlttce room.

A feat In railroading was performed Satur
day on this section of the New York Central ,
which , though not Infrequently paralleled on
this most efficient and speedy of roads , Is
certainly calculated to make one wonder.
The feat was nothing less than the accom
plishment by the great Empire State Expre's
of n distance of 14S mile ? In 140 minutes ,
something scarcely possible , with safety , to a
less thoroughly governed and mechanically
perfect road.
TIio Empire arrived In Syracuse Saturday
afternoon forty-one minutes late-was delayed
three minutes by Its stop at Utlc.i , and four
minutes In this city by accommohtlon train
\'o. 72 , but arrived In Albany at 7 08 , having
mule the 148 miles from Syracuse In 140
minutes , this , of course , being actual running
time with stops deducted. Such moving
across country for such a distance Is enough
to convince any old time obstructionist that
we of the present day are actually "flying"
Into the face of Providence.
Old SS8 , the railroader's criterion of loco
motive excellence , had Jacob Vrooman of
Schenectady at the throttle and was flrel by
Peter Wagner cf St. Johnsvllle , both of
whom feel Justifiable pride In the latest
ahlcvement of their Iron steed. Little Falls

The trial of William Hdrr , proprietor of the
'nlon ' hotel , on the charge of keeping n
Isorderly house , was commenced In police
ourt yesterday , where It held the boards
ntll noon , when an adjournment was taken
ntll this morning.
The arrest of Mr. Bnrr was made on the
omplalnt of Henry Hockerman of Arapahoe ,
who alleged that he had been robbed of $50
i the hotel by a woman who had been as-
Igncd to the same room with him by Harr
lockerman Is verdant enough to withstand
long spell of drouth , but he had n clear
tory to tell and he told It without any at-
empt to smooth over the fact that ho was
he sucker In the play. He swore that he
\ent to the hotel on Wednesday night nnd
larr nsked him If he did not want n girl
or a roommate. He looked over the stock
ml decided tliM there was nothing on hand
ust to his liking and he went away. He
cturned on Thursday night and Harr asked
ilm If he wanted a slim girl or n stout
girl , a blonde or a brunette. Hockerman
eclded on a stout brunette and Lulu Wllcix
\os Introduced. She was the one for whom
ic had been looking. The next morning the
girl and $50 of Hockerman's money were
ilsslng. Hence the arrest.
Barr's evidence was In the nature of a
general denial of the story of Hockermnn.

C. D. Woods Is from Texas and wants to
get back. He had an Idea that the nnnouncc-
nent of the fact that he hailed from tjie
and of long horned cattle would strike
error to the hearts of the timid residents of
Omaha and he'd have n lot of fun. He
i down to the burnt district the other
light nnd told some of the denizens that
10 was fresh from Texas nnd that he was
hlrstlng for trouble. Before he got out he
ind been touched for his Waterbury and $7
n money. He made up his mind that ho
\ould get out of the city without nttemp- !
ng to scare any moro people. He started
or Council Bluffs and met some fellows
own near the Douglas street bridge. Woods
\ns pretty well dressed. Two of the men
tnrckcd him down and took his coat and
est. A third par'y Inslstel on trading
