"Do you think the other lines in the a

T here was some consternation In patton-
ger circ1t yesterday when the Miiwaukcoa
cut to $9.25 in the Chicago rate business
bec ame known. It was somewhat of a aur-
pri se ( o the passenger men of the other
On : aha'chicago lines , though John Sebas-
ha n. general passenger agent of the flock
Isl and system , got wind of what wn coming flocktim
ill Omaha Thursda and that's the reason
he cut. lilt visit here short and hurried back
to Chicago lietuhquarters.
T here Ja no doubt but tle other lines
wil l offer the same rate on Tuesday morn-
ing , when the Milwaukee puts its Chicago
ttc ket on sale at. both Omaha and Chifle
cag o. Ooneral I'assenger Agent John Fran-
cit of the 13. & M. last night said.that the
flu rhington WOUil meet the cut. Assistant
Oo nerai Passenger Agent MacLead of the
ito cle Island said the matter was being
ha ndled In Chicago and he had received no
ad vices of the cut. The Northwestern office
did not receive notice of the cut either. But
Its a foregone conclusion that nh the lines
wil l put in the rate on Tuesday.
A sked where. the rate war was going to
bri ng up , Chairman Caidwell of the Western
Pn ssonger association yesterday said : "lts
pr ettp hard to tell , The rate of $9.26
be tween Chicago and Omaha and of $8 be-
tw ccn Chicago ami St. Paul will be put
int o effect on Tuesday. It. is probable that
th e hues to St. Louis will also make a cut ,
bu t nothing has as yet been announced
co ncerning a cut In the rates to Kansas
Ci ty. The rate of $9.25 is not only a selling
ra te , but Is a basing rate na well and as
su ch will necessarily affect the through
r anscontinentat rates. Until the rates go
In to effect on Tuesday It is probable that ,
no thing will be done In the way of re6:3

Fitenflammera furnished any amount of
e xcitement on N street yesterday afternoon ,
a nti crowds stood about the corner 'of
T wenty-sixth and N
streets for a couple
o f hours waiting to see what would happen
n ext.
About a o'clock Constables Daniels and
P ierce nrrestod George Adams at the an-
lo on at 922 North Twenty-fourth street and
e scorted him to Justice White's office In
t he city hail
building. Adams answers to
t he description of one of the men who held
u p and robbed a stockmnn at the corner of
T wenty-first and J streets Thursday morn-
l eg. At any rate when Justice White saw
t hat lie could not induce the legally elected
c onstables to serve
Warrants , he swore
P ierce and Daniels into service and gave
t hem a description of Adams , along with
u nrranta calling for his arrest. The con-
s tables located their man In the saloon.
w hich is a iittlo out of the way , but which
a nswers the purpose of a hangout for cer-
t ale o ! the clique. Adams made a hard
fi ght , but the two officers finally managed
t o get him to come along , Crowds followed
t he officers and their prisoner all the way
d own N street and Into the justice's ouhlce.
E xcitement for a time was at fever heat ,
b ut It wasn't a marker to sliat was to fol-
h ow. After being turned over to the jus-
t ice , Adams threw off his coat and sat
d own on a window sill while waiting for
a rraignment papers to be made out. While
ec veryone in the room was busy and the
c rowd stood at the head of the stairs hold-
lg l ng its breath the prisoner took one hasty
g lance about and was gone , lie had jumped
f rom the window to the greeted below , a
d istance of fully tweiit feet. The jump was
ao successful one from the prisoner's point
o f view , and as tar as known he is not
I njured , for on regaining his foot he ran
o ut of the alley lilo a deer and has not ,
yet been recaptured. The constables and
J ustice V'hito joined in the chase , but it is
e vident that outside help wan furnished , for ,
fl trace of the man could be found , About
a half hour after this sensational escape
i t was reported that Adams had been Ia-
c ated in a house on Twenty.sixth street , be-
t ween N and Id streets. A search was macic
of the promises , but without result. It was
l earned inter thht a man without a coat
ran into a stable on Twenty-sixth street
anti throwing off a derby hat picked up a
straw hat and skipped out. Before the '
stable ho ) ' lied a chance to take after the
man lie ras some distance off , Justice I
White made out search warrants for aav
cml of the lower N street saloons , and the I
constables searched these pieces , but with.

a ssist these omcers In every way potsible
in ridding the city of confidence men. In
th is connection Deputy Sheriff Mitchell said
la st night that it any citizen here would
p oint out a flimfiammer he would arrest the

Frank Whoo , a blacksmith employed at
C udaby's , was killed yesterday afternoon by
h arry hulsmfln in a fight at Welsh's liv-
c ry stable at the west end of the L street
v iaduct. Both men had been drinking and
i t is stated by those who were present that
W idoe made some insulting remarks to
H uisman and the latter atruck 'Wldoo a
b low on the chin , foiling him to the ground ,
I t was not thought at the time that a
m urder had been committed , but as aeon
a s it was evident that Witloc would not
r ecover Hulaman left the stable and took
a course over the bills toward the north-
w est. After being struck Wldoo struggled
i n an attempt to speak but could not anti
I ce died without uttering a word. As soon
a s it was evident that Widoe was seriously
i njured , attaches of the barn teicphoned
f or Dr. White , who responded to the call
I mmediately. Upon examination the doctor
f ound that the windpipe had been broken
b y the blow , which caused strangulation ,
r esulting in death.
Coroner Swanson was notified and or-
ti ered George Brewer to take charge of the
r emains pending an investigation , which
will bq held Monday. Tha men had been
c hatting thgethor for some time prior to
t he striking of blows. Ilulsman is well-
known here anti is known as a fighter anti
o ne who often starts out to look for trouble.
There is nothing to show that ho was the '
aggresnor.
When the police station had been duly ,
notified of the killing two omccrs were t
started out with Instructions to find Hula.
man and arrest him. The Omaha police
were also notified to ho on the lookout foe
him. W'ldoe wes a young enan ot fine pbys.

SOUTH OhiAhlA , Aug. 5-To the Ilditoi .
of The Bee ; Thu following extracts arc I
taken from an interview in The Bce witi 1
Mayor Ensor , and from an editorial in c
South Omaha paper : "In connection with tlii a
5i3.mill levy , Mayor Fnsor says that his ad .
cniiiistratiOn should not be charged with I
extravagance , as the levy is made neces .
sary on account of the judgments which i
were allowed to accumulate under previoui S
eulinlnistrations. . Prior to the timi a
Mayoi Enter assumed control not a ccc t

was Installed into office his admiaistrtitioi
was confronted with in the neighborhood o f
a $33,000 judgment debt , Since he has beec
mayor one judgment of $800 has beep se .
cured. " I will briefly respond to the ahoy 0
statements made by the mayor. Instead o C
the judgments against the city when th e
present administration came Into pow'er- -
April , IS96-bing , as ( ho mayor says , $35,000 I ,
the tact is ( a list of which was publiahec I
In my answer to the mayor's message , July - ,
1896 , antI which I asked him , without sue .
CC , to refute ) , the judgments and costs ag -
gregated only $24,196.62. Bear in mind ( its I.
during the last two years the adruinistra -
tion have drawn warrants for $20,549.69 oi ci
the judgment fund , and itow they have mad a
a levy of l6 mills for the same fund , pro -
clueing $25,901. Why this levy , if the enl V
udgcnen ( against the city In the last tw 0
y ears was one for $800 ? The mayor mit-
le ads the people when be states that the
p resent administration Is the only one who
h as paid the water company anything ,
w hile the truth is , the administrations
p revious to this paid water bills amounting
t o $18,100.96 , this. too. notwithstanding the
f act that during Jilt administration there
h as been received In the judgment fund
$ 20.sO8.7a and $6,496 from the water levy
o f last year , the water bills of June 30 ,
1 896 , amounting to $3,163 ; January 1 , 1897 ,
a mounting to $3,353.16 , remain unpaid , and
t he bill of January 1 , 1898 , amounting to
$ 3,405 , was not paid until July 17 last. So
i t seems that the present administration
h as not paid water bills much better than
p receding administrations. Instead of there
b eing only $800 in judgments entered against
t he city during the- present administration
t here list been over $14,000 , costs not in-
e luded. Two years ago the excuse for a
5 0-mill levy was that the preceding nil-
ministration had left a large number of
b ills unpaid , judgments and a shortage in
t he interest account and it flt better to
make a big levy and clean up the indebted-
n eat , but in addition to the 50-miil levy.
p reducing $71,570 , there was received front
o ther sources that year $23fl499 , and still
t he administration made the next ( last )
year a levy of 4444 mIlls , Producing $64-
2 26.60 , anti received from other sources $12-
2 89.89 , and now we have this year a 66-mill
l eroy , producing $87,915 , and they have re-
c eived $14,400 from the occupation tax. The
administration says they cannot be charged
with extrayagapce. Well , let lit examine
t his. The following statement shows the
current expenses for the last -two years ,

Trouble Over Slot Machines.
The cases of B. F. Huddleson , William
F razier anti Ed Feney , who have been ar-
r ested for the larceny of a slot machine ,
h ave been set for August 13 in Justice PotL
i cr's court. All of the prisoners are out on
b all , btt they were not around their acS
c ustomed haunts yesterday afternoocT. The
s tory of the arrests is quite interesting , the
fi rst chapter being written When Mayor PIn-
or took up McDonald's license and returned
him the money. Next came the arrest of
McDonald for being a suspicious character
and then , a week ago last night , McDon-
a Id's slot machine was stolen from Feeney's
s aloon. This last act was too strong antI
McDonald employed detectives , who located
t he machine at 1710 Willinacs street , Omaha.
Although the machiatt was located last
Wednesday , It yr deemed best to postpone
the arrest of the parties until sumcieut en.
debco bad been secured to Implicate all
who were interested. The work of the
detectives , who were assisted by Attorney
w. C. Lambert , was most thorough and the
evidence against the ring here is said to be
conlplote. When arreSted liuddleson cx-
claimed : "You can't hold us , for wo bought
the machine. " This was before tue warrant
charging hint with the larceny had been
read. Then Hucidleson wanted to 0ompro-
mite , provided McDonald would agree to
leave the city , but as things were coming
his way McDonald declined to leave anti
then a suggestion was made that a settle-
meet of semo sort be arrived at with the
departUt'o feature eliminated. cIcDenaid has
so far scorned all overtures of peace and
states that be proposes to fight the game
to a finish. The three prisoners are all
charged with grand larceny and Attorney
Lambert says that ho is certain from this
evidence at hand that Justice Foster wIll
hold that further examination by a highdr
court is necessary. One of the men employed -
ployed by hluddieson to steal the machine
happened to be a man in McDoflald'e em.
ploy and an interesting sworn statement Is
now on tile in the county attorney's omce.

machine ott the wagon and hauled It to
