Judge Macv. before adjourning court yes
terday morning , handed down liU decision
In the suit of Mr. nnd Mru. Charles Hag-
gcrty , brought against their daughter , Mre.
Cora I. Waterman , and her husband , E. T.
Waterman , to have the conveyance to theh
homestead set aside. The Haggerty *
claimed that they desired to Rive their
daughter a life Interest lu the homeatead ,
which at her de.ith was to pass to her
children , hut discovered after the deed was
executed that they had transferred the
property absolutely to her. Owing to the
fact that the pfAiutlffn were among the
oldest residents In the city and on account
of the relationship existing between them
anil the defendants the suit attracted more
than oidlnary attention. In bis decision
Judge Macy held that the allegation of
fraud and misrepresentation in plaintiffs'
petition was not sustained and that tbero
was no fraud , misrepresentation or con
cealment practiced or used by the defend
ants or either of them , or by any ono con
nected with the execution of the contract
and deed In question. Further , that
through the fralltlca of old age and sick
ness the plaintiff , Charles Haggerty , at
the timeIn question was In such mental
condition rs that thereby he failed to ex-
prcAs and have Incorporated In the deed In
question the prior determination of the
plaintiffs to leave after their death the
property in question to tbolr daughter , the
defendant , Cora 1. Waterman , and after her
death to her children , and that In view
of thei character of the transaction , the
relationship of the parties and the tender
of a conveyance carrying out the prior ex
pressed desire and dotcmiln.itIon of the
plaintiffs. It should be held that the
plaintiffs are entitled to the relief sought.
The court therefore Issued an order that
upon the plaintiffs executing and delivering
to the clerk of the court within ten days
a deed of conveyance of the property In
question to their daughter after their
deaths , during her lifetime nnd thereafter
to her children , the contract and deed In
iiucfltlon be ect aside and held for naught
nnd that plalntlfts have judgment for costs
as prayed.
In the two suits 'brought by creditors of
the Odcll Investment company to subject
the stockholders of the company to a double
liability on their stock , Judge Macy handed
down hie decision , refusing this claim , but
giving judgment for the amount sued on
against the company.
Fred Beck , as administrator of the estate ,
commenced suit yesterday against the
Omaha & St. Louis Railway company for
$10,000 damages for the death of Christo
pher H. Beck , who was run down and killed
at Pony Creek crossing lest August. In
the petition It Is alleged that the train was
running at a high and unusual rate of
speed and that no signal or warning of the
approach of the train was given , and that
the collision resulting In the death nf
Christopher Bcek was caused by the negli
gence of the employes of the company. The
rompany Is also asked to pay 4100 for the
horse that was killed and $35 for the wagon
that was detstrojed.
The Citizens' State bank commenced suit
yesterday against Elizabeth Jackcon , widow
of the late E. W. Jackson , and W. S. Mayne
to recover J230 on promlsory notes. E. W ,
Jackson , who for a number of years was
elty marshal and chief of police , carried a
policy of life Insurance In the Hartford Life
Insurance company , payable at hlf
death to his wife , Elizabeth Jack
son. According to the petition , U
appears that prior to his deatli
Jackson borrowed money from the bank tc
pay two premiums on this policy , the banfc
alleging that the money was advanced on
the condition that It bo the first Hen on ,
and to be paid out of , the proceeds of the
Insurance policy. The Insurance , It Is al
leged , has been collected by Mrs. Jackson
who now refuses to reimburse the bank
W. S. Mayne la made defendant to the null
as InJorser of the notes.
During the absence of Judge Macy Ir
northern Nebraska Judge Smith will occupv
the bench.

IN SOFT COAL SUPI'IA" ,
Uvnlprn Arol Well S ooUr l nml
CiinM o ( Any night Airnr.
The local demand for soft coal Is nwa >
ahead of the supply , and Council Bluffb i <
practically experiencing a famine in the bi
tuminous article , and the situation Is no
likelv to be relieved until the heavy pas
senger traffic Incident to the low rates es
tablished for the- last dajs of the cxposltlor
Is ended. The sudden cold snap of a weel
ago not only caught the retail dealers un
stocked with boft coal In any quantity bul
nleo found the mine operators unproparet
for such a ludden and heavy demand. Loca
dealers report that the supply of hard coa
Is equal to the call but that It U for scv
cial reasons almost impossible to get theii
orders for soft coal filled. One reason the ;
say Is that the Iowa roads have almost dur
Ing the last few tlajs abandoned hauling
f i eight , as they have been compelled U
use their freight engines on passenger train :
to meet the enormous travel from all point !
to Omaha und the exposition. The south
ern roads are unable to haul coal , as the ]
am short of curs , and then again , the opcr
atars are. not in a position to meet the de
mand for soft coal , owing to the man ;
strikes during the last month or two whlcl
have necessarily decreased the output of th
mines.
Thu reason for the heavy demand for sof
coal , the dealers explain , Is due to the fac
that people had not anticipated such an earl ;
winter and had delayed ordering until thi
cold snap came all of a sudden , and the !
there wan n general rush and the supply 01
hand wab soon exhausted. He UTS win
have ordered coal are unable to get it here
AS their cars , owing to the heavy passenge
travel , are sidetracked and they can get iv
assurance from the railroad companies as ti
when they may expect them delivered. Deal
ers say that if the cold snap had continue *
for a few days longer the situation wouli
have been serious and they were ttmnKfu
for the respite that the wayn weathe
brought them ,

GIVE SPAIN ONE GUARANTEE

It" Occupation ,
WASHINGTON , Oct. 27. The Intimation
conveyed by the American commissioners to
the Spanish commissioners at Monday's
session of the peace conference at Paris , that
the position of the United Steles with respect -
spect to Cuba nud the Cuban debt could not
bo regarded us subject to chingo nnd that
consequently the American commUsloners
were ready to proceed with the consideration
[ of other quebtlons under the piotocol , the
Paris advices show had a decided tfteet. Ono
concession as to Cuba that our commis
sioners will make will be to guarantee for
the United States that llfo and property
shall bo secure In Cuba. This icsponslblllty
I tbo United States will assume only until
such time as a stable government shall be
formed and operative In Cuba. There will
bo no perpetual guarantee on this score.
I Undue significance has been attached to
i the dispatches of a special messenger from
I Washington yesterday to the president at
Philadelphia. Almost every day a long re
port has como by cable from Judge Day ,
I telling what had been accomplished , what
the Spanish commissioner.- ) were seeking nnd
what the American commissioners proposed
, to do at the next meeting. The
president has gene over these re
ports very carefully in company
with Secretary Hay and sometimes with mil
itary or naval experts. If their advice seemed
to be necessary. Yesterday's report was
very long and to have reduced it to cipher
code for the purpose of telegraphing it to
Philadelphia would have consumed moro
tlmo and been less satisfactory in results
than the services of u messenger. As .1
vital stage had been reachcd.lt was thought
advisable not to wait until the president's
return and so Assistant Secietary Crldler's
confidential clerk was sent to Philadelphia
with tbo repoit.
It is expected that the commissioners will
now take up the subject of the Philippines.
The American commmlssloners have given
this subject much attention , but so far It
j has never appeared before the Joint com-
I mission save In the shape of one spasmodic
i effort made by the Spaniards at the very be
ginning of the sessions to have the United
States abandon Manila as a precedent to
. further negotiations on the subject of the
Philippines.
The American commissioners , among
I other things , have been looking Into the
subject of the Philippine debt , about which
there is much Ignorance nt thin end of the
line. It is unlikely that the same rule will
be applied to that debt as was insisted upon
relative to the Cuban debt. In other words ,
if the United Stateb annexes the Philippines ,
which seems now to bo the logical outcome
of the situation , It might bo reasonably con
tended that at feast so much of the debt
as represented monies expended for the Im
provement of the Island should pass to the
United States with the title. The situation
Is regarded as materially different from
that In Cuba , where the United States gains
nothing substantial , for , with the annexation
of the Philippines , we should acquire a ter
ritory almost as large as the British isles ,
with a population of more than 8,000,000
people. It will be for the American com
missioners to arrange the details of the
transfer of the Philippines to the United
States RR It Is expressly stipulated in the
protocoF that the disposition of the Philip
pines shall be arranged by the peace com-
mlssioncis.
