THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : BIOTDAV , SEPTEMBER 10 , 1897. I1A Greater Risk is Now Attached to All Property in the Vicinity , PLANING MILL ON EXPOSITION GROUNDS Local PI r m Src-iin-n n lnnc nnd Ki | M n Priinip Slriiutiiri ; Clour lo Hie .Main ' Coiirl. , l Th < ; exposition management Is somewhat exercised over the notlco received from In- curnnco Inspector Martman to the effect that the erection of a frame planing mill Just out- lido of the main court at the northeast corner , end about twenty-five feet back of the Ma chinery nnd Hlcctrlclty building will Incrclso th , , Insurance rate which must be paid on the buildings on the main court and on the con tend * of all thCio buildings. Thin planing mill was erected recently by iVogcl brothers , the building permit being taken out In the name of the TrntmnUMsslppl } ' { anlng Mill company. These people had u contract wtl | ) the Department of Httlldlngs and nroumlfl to occupy the brick building on ( fie bluff tract , but the executive committee rrfuhcd to approve the contract for the reason that It would he discriminating against home 'In'Mllutlotis which had subscribed to exposi tion stock. When this plan failed tbo planing mill people secured a lease of a lot which IH nt the northeast corner of the main court , enclosed 'on the eat by ft portion of the crounds which tuns up to Manderson stre- , and on'this they erected a .frame building , which Uncovered with tar paper. This build " ' ' ing" U almo'x't In direct contact with the fence surrounding the main court and Is within a few feet of where the Machinery and Klcctrlclty building will stand. To facilitate access to the mill from the exposition crounds a gate has been cut through thn fence , directly back of the mill. After the notice was tccclvcd from In- epector Hartiuan , Secretary Wakofleld visited the ofllce of the city building Inspector and remonstrated with Dulldlng Inspector Duller Tor Issuing a permit for snrh a structure In tuch close proximity to the exposition bulM- ings. .Mr. Duller said he hod no knowledge of just who o the nnln buildings would be located and had flmply Issued the permit without tiny reference to those buildings. The permit being Issued , IIP said the matter had gene beyond lib power. Inspector Hartman suggested that the fire risk might bo reduced by erecting a'brick wall between the planing mill and the ex position grounds , but Chief Itedell of the lire department said this would not lessen the danger from lire , as the chips and shav- lims from the mill would blow all over that part of town anl the danger to the build ings would ho very great. N'o olllolal action on the matter- has yet been taken b > the executive committee. aio.vnv FOII Aiiisnir niTii.ni.vc. I'riiiioNlllon SllliillUlfd liy an Iiivi-ll- < < > r from Mlxsotirl. The Transmlsslsslppl Exposition manage ment has received another airship proposi tion. The Inventor of the machine Is from Jlltsourl. HP accordingly accompanies his proposition with a cabinet photograph showIng - Ing a small model of the machine with which ho proposes to overcome the attraction of giavlty to some extent and soar heavenward as with the wings ot a hint. A photograph shows two rectangular frames which Intersect one another at right angles. A small platform rents on the point where the lower sides Intersect , and on this Is placed the motive power , coii- elsllng'of a small molor which'the Inventor says may be opcraled hy'conipresscd air or electricity. , At the extreme. outer ends of the upper sides of the frames arc placed wheels resembling turbine water wheels. There are four of these and they are constructed of steel tubing , covered with cloth. The wheels are twenty-five feet In diameter and aru operated by means of shafting. Running up above the engine Is a rod having a universal joint at Us upper end and to this Is attached another wheel which may b-i used as a propeller or a rud der. This constitutes the machine , and the Inventor says that the model from which the photograph Is taken works successfully. lie says that when the machine Is in mid air and the rotation of the wheels Is stopped they act as parachutes , and the machine descends slowly to the earth. lie says that the completed machine will weigh about 500 pounds. The Inventor is 0. G. Newton of Trenton , Mo. , and he asks the exposition people to advance him $300 for the construction of tho. machine , which ho proposes to.build on the exposition grounds.

Dutcher Staples , whb ban a fhop , at Six teenth acid Dorcas streets , thought a whole lot of unutterable thing ! ) yesterday when a policeman dropped Into his place nnd wanted to know whether ho had been robbed Wednesday. Hutcher Staples , not recalling .ho proverb that all great bodies move slowly , fondly Imagined that after he had reported to the police Wednesday the ex- pcrtmco ho had had with robbers , at least n few of tne officers would be looking for the crook * . It was no wonder , therefore , that the butcher's thoughts assumed a de cidedly variegated hue when the policeman Interviewed him yesterday. Inasmuch as the otllcer stated that nothing bad yet been done lo apprehend the robbers. Hutcher Staples was sitting In a rear room behind his shop Wednesday , when a man entered the establishment. Staples hecrd some one at the money drawer and ho hastily wont Into the shop to Investigate. He got there just In tlmo to see a man run out of the front door and leap Into a buggy , In which was seated another man. The two hurrldly drove away. The butcher stopped only long enough to ( list-over that a $10 bill had bc3n taken out of the drawer. Then ho rushed out of his lop and ho noticed the buggy going at a igh rate of speed north on Sixteenth street , he butcher proved that ho was something 1 a sprinter , hut he could not keep up : vltli rapidly driven horro. Ho kept the rig In ght. however , and was filled with hopes mt the robbers would he caught , as he otlcsd that they nnd a policeman were ipldly coming together at the end of the Ixtccnth street viaduct. The policeman saw the rig. AH It was olng fast , he hailed the drivers and wanted o know whcit ! they wcro going in such a itirry. They answered that It was none of ils business. Then the men drove on and le pallccmnn plodded on his way until ulllng Hutcher Staples met him. The butcher Info'med the officer of the aw that the two men had robbed him. Ily its time , however , the rig was out of sight cross the viaduct nnd there was no chance f getting the men. The butcher thereupon ctalled all the circumstances of the case nil went home In the firm belief that before lornlng the robbers would be In Jail.

The average condition of corn for lie state at largo was estimated nt 74 per out of n normal crop. Of the three south- rn districts the average was 70 per cent nd for the central northern districts 70 per out. The extreme heat and the prevalence f hot and dry wind slnco September 1 have frosted the normal development of the corn rep and materially reduced the possible leld. Judging by personal observations and ate reporls from all sections the director oes not hesitate to say that tne condition f corn at this date , September 10 , Us not bove GO per cent of the normal , and that the leld of sound , merchantable corn will not xeeed twenty bushels per aero , or a tolal of abnul lfiO.000,000 bushels.

VICTORY FOR THE RECEIVERS Important Case to Pirmnolnl Coinpanio3 Dismissed by the Court of Appeals , END OF GUNNISON RAILWAY LITIGATION Court llitldn ( lint Union I'nt'lHc Of- HclnlN AnXot l.lnlilo for ICrrnr Mmlr by I.nun Ciniipaii ) , General Solicitor Wllllnm II. Kelly of the Union 1'aclflc railway has Just returned from St. 1'aul , where ho won one of the most Important lcgr.1 victories that has come to the Union Pacific In recent years , and thereby terminated u cnsa that hail been In litigation for over two years. As a result of the decision of the circuit court of ap peals , United States court , Judges Tliayer and Ulner sitting , a suit of the American Loan and Trust company of New York , trustees of the mortgage of the Denver , Lcndvillo & Ounnlson railway , against S. II. II. Clark 'and ' the other receivers of the Union I'acinc railway , Involving $240,001) ) , has been decided In favor of the receivers of the Union Pacific. Th5 Denver , Leatlvlllo & Gunnlson rail way Is a part of the Union 1'aclflc , Denver & Gulf railway .lystom. All belonged to the Union Pacific system prior to the receivership of the Union Pacific. The re ceivers of the Union Pacific ofisrated the Denver , Leadvlllo & Gunnlson railway from October 13 , 1SS3 , to August 7 , 1S94. Tno xpcnses of tie ! operation of the Gunnlson allway during that period were greater than lie receipts by ? la2,000. At the time of ic surrender of the property to the re- elvers there was on hand $48,000 worth of allway material. This was turned over to the ecolvcrs. On the settlement of the account he court charged the Gunnlson property vlth these two amounts , aggregating $240- 00 , as a prior lien over thu mortgages. From this judgment the trustee ( the Amerl- an Loan and Trust company of New York ) appealed. The trustee , however , appealed against the receivers alone and not against lie Denver , Leadvlllo & Gunnlson railway. The court hold that the railway company vas a necessary party to the appeal , but as It had not been made a party , the court uled that It could not Investigate the mat er , and therefore dismissed the case. The case was argued in St. Paul before ludges Thayer and llltier. The American -oin and Trust company was represented by Utorney Sheldon and the Union Pacific by General Solicitor Kelly. It Is mot yet known whether the plaintiff will now take an ap peal to the United States supreme court or lot. The case has attracted much attention n railway and financial circles during the ast two years , and the decision of the court dismissing the appeal of the trustees ! s re garded as a notable victory for thu railway company.

The announcement in yesterday's Issue of The Hoc that the reduced rate of ? 2 would go Into effect on Saturday of this week , September 11 , Instead of on September 20 , was incredulously received In a number of freight olilccs , only to be later verified. The moving up of the date for the operation of the new tariff by nine days caused all the lines to hustle , and before the morning was "ttdl along September 11 had been quite gen erally announced as the date for the com mencement of the $2 rate. The roads west of the Missouri river fell into line yesterday. The Union Pacific jumped out ahead of Its competitors and an nounced that on account of the reduction ol coal rates between Chicago and Missouri river points It would make a horizontal reduction of $1 In its coal rates from Omaha to. all points In Nebraska. Asked If a corresponding reduction would be made In other states In which the Union Pa cific operates. Assistant General Freight Agent Wood of that railway said : "We have not yet decided what we shall do In Kansas , or any other state , except Nebraska. We have just dccldrd to make a horizontal cut of $1 [ rom our coal rate now In effect from the Mis souri river to all points In Nebraska. " "When will the cut In coal rates on your line become effective ? " "Just as soon as we can put It In. The law requires a five days' notice on any reduction and a ten days' notice on any In crease In rates. The reduction west of the Missouri river cannot become operative as soon as that made by the lines cast of tUr river , where It will be effective on Septem ber 11 , because of the necessity of giving five days' notice. The reduction will proba bly be effective In Nebraska on September 13 , ticxt Monday. " MtCU ; KAIt.ll I'ltOIH CU MOVIMS Vflirnil.n KnrnuTx Mnrkrf Inu ( Jrc-a ( tnnnlltlfs of Corn.

There is somn corn of the crop of 1895 being movec now and a great deal of last year's crop The farmers held their corn last seasoi wherever they could. Only those who were pressed for money sold their corn , but now they are letting go of It all along the line The result Is a bigger freight business than wo have handled for a long time , compelling us to run about as many extra freight trains as wo can conveniently handle.

BREAKS GARBAGE MONOPOLY Police Judge Gordon Adheres to His Original Decision in These Oases , NO MORE HAULERS ARE TO BE ARRESTED City rroNeentor Miller Will Xot Kile IiiforiiinlliiiM AHnltinl I'artli-n Coniiilnliieil Of liy ( lie. ( nrltiiKeniiinler. Garbagcmastcr MacDanald will gel no more protection of his garbage hauling monopoly from the police court. City Prosecutor Miller yesterday announced that he would not file any more Informations In police court against parties on the charge of hauling without a pormlt or dumping In the city limits In viola , tlou of MacDonald's contract until the garbage muddle wa fettled by the council. He de cided up on this became Police Judge Gordon will not convict In the cases. In the now batch of cases started by Mac- Donald. In which the charge Is hauling with out a pormlt. Judge- Gordon takes the same position as heretofore. He holds that the city charter does not authorize any department of the city government to Issue permits for haul- Ing. Ho docs not look upon MacDonatd as a city official and will not recognize that ho has power to Issue permits. Since there Is no ono from whom permits can bo obtained , Judge Gordon holds therefore that a charge of hauling without a permit cannot hold good. The police Judge Ins objections against the charge of dumping In the city limits. Thu city charter provides that no garbage or refuse shall bo deposited at any point within thrco miles of the city limits. Hut If the police judge should convict the men brought before him for violating this ordinance ho says ho would be holding the city guilty of doing exactly the same thing. Ho asserts that the city engineer and other city authorities have authorized haulers to dump hundreds of loads of refuse matter In washouts and holes within the city limits and consequently docs not see how he could punish any one for something that the city authorities Instruct him to do. The point was raised In the case of James llooncy , who was arrested Wednesday by MacDonald's spcclil officers for dumping a load of rubbish In a washout nt Thirty-fourth street and Poppletoii avenuo. When Ilooney was arraigned , ho showed a permit from Street Commissioner Heverly. authorizing him to dump a number of loads In the place Indicated. Judge Gordon Intends to make this a test case of the ordinance . He refused to dis miss the case , and Insisted that the street commissioner should be subpoenaed to testify regarding the authority he had to Issue such permits. The trial will occur next Saturday afternoon. DID XOT UIAIUIIOI , WITH MAKOIIX. MI.SM HniiMlinr TellH of Her Mei-IInK with Her Iover.

During the walk they did not quarrel , hilt she said something to him which she says might have depressed him , but she had no Idea that he had any Intention of killing him self. Members of the Shultz family also say that the man was In a very cheerful frame of mind when they saw him. Wednesday morning when the Marohns arose at their home at Leigh they found three letters from Gustavo , in all of which ho intimated that ho Intended to do away with himself on account of some great grief.

County ClerK Mel Redflcld , who proposes to run independent for the same ofllco this fall , recently began his campaign by under taking to get back Into the Union Vet erans' Republican club , from which he was expelled last spring. The manner In which this attempt was sat down upon was only equaled by his last spring's experience with the club. Redfleld was dropped from the rolls be cause he bolted the Republican ticket last spring. About a week ago ho put In an np- ollcatlon for reinstatement. This application was rejected with practical unanimity , for the votes cast In favor of the reinstatement numbered not more than half a dozen.

There Is eomc tilk among members of the Board of Education of establishing more rigid regulations to govern the attendance of non-resident pupils In the Omaha schools. The present rules provide that the annual feu from non-resident pupils shall be $35 for attendance at tbo High tcliool , $15 in tlio grammar grades and $10 In the primary grades. In nine cases out of ten the rule IB evaded and the total receipts of tuition fees do not average $100 a year. This Is not be- caiue there are no non-resident pupils In the schools , but In nearly every case the pupil from out of town discovers that he or she has a relative In Omaha and application Is made for admission as a resident pupil on the ground that ho or she is living with the Omaha relative. As a matter of fact this Is a mere subterfuge , as the pupil returns homo during vacations and leaves Iho city for good as soon as the desired cducitlonal advantage.1 : are acquired , In view of the fact that the Ilonul of Educa tion U confronted by n never ending deficit In HH funds , It-Is urged that It Is about time that pupils who como hero from other points are made to pay their share of the expense of sup porting the Echools. In Kansas City the recolptn from nonresident dent pupils amounted to $2,000 last year ami It Is believed that If the rules were strictly enforced In Omaha something approximating that amount would bo raised here. The board has usually granted special permits to pupllH who live In Douglas county , outsldo the city limits and It Is also suggested that while tills Is a very pleasant courtciy , so far as the country precincts are concerned , there Is no equitable reason why people who do not pay city taxes should bo allowed to enjoy the benefits free of cost.
