QUEER PHASE OF ONE CONTEMPT CASE Attorney Ordered Into Cnntodr F Judge and Ofllcer Given Jin An- thorltr for Action Xn Time Set for Ilcnpnearancei As Mahomet's coffin was said to have been tispended between heaven and curth , so Attorney J. J. Boucher has found him- elf since Judge. Scott ordered him Into the custody of the sheriff. As n matter of fact tic has not been really deprived of his free dom and In only nominally in the sheriff's hands , fulfilling the letter of the ordct merely , owing to the Insufficiency of Its spirit and thu neglect ot the court to maki out a proper commitment. No commitment having bee.n given Deputy Sheriff Lewis , that ofTlclal did not care to undertake the responsibility of taking possession of the person of Boucher unle&H the latter weni voluntarily , and Boucher did not volunteer So the deputy wrnt ono way and Bouchn the other , each going about bin respecthi business. Then as the court did not set ny time for Boucher's reappearance he is beginning to wonder where bo U at. Thus IH ho suspended between the clouds of judi cial wrath and tlie dry earth , of comparatlvi security. Ho had until after 3 p. m. to compl ] with .he order lo turn over the Hayea buggy the otder not reaching him until that tltni Tuesday. Hayei has a llttlo more leeway s hit order was not served on him untl yesterday morning. When Boucher was brought before thi judge ho was asked point blank It be In tended to give up the contested vehicle Ills reply was that "as nt present advl&et he did not think ho would. " This Is wha made the judge shake with anger and h jieromptorlly ordered Boucher Into th1 sheriff's bands , forgetting to make out i commitment In due form. Boucher wonder DOW how he can comply with the court' demand to turn o er something which h has not In hit possession , his client , Hayes being the do facto possessor of the rig. No further action was taken by the cour during the day. It develops that Senator elect , J. H. Van Duson had been brought Int the matter to solve the problem by belni entrusted with the Hayes buggy for th purpo&tt of placing It again within th power of the court. Mr. Van Duscn Is tee I * eo report this morning. EXPOSITION . COSTBMPT CASE l.ermy on the Stniid CilvliiK Kvldrnc un to the Shown.

An exceedingly long hypothetical ques tlon from Mahoney to thla end was objectc to by Mr. Hall as not being relevant and tb court sustained the objection.

Nothing U lacking but the acceptance o some minor modifications of the proposltlot made by P. B. Her and others to purchas the exposition property for (17GOO , to Insur the closing of the deal. At the epecla meeting of the Board of Directors whlcl was called yesterday to pass on this am other proposals the Her bid was acceptei on condition that Its promoters would agrc to take the property by November 21 am consent .to uch additions to the contract a were considered advisable to fully prottc the Exposition association. This action was recommended by a unan Imous report of the executive commute which accompanied the bids. The hlghes bid for the purchase and removal of th buildings was $15,519 , offered by the Chlcag Wrecking company. A composite tabula tlon of the highest blda on each partlcula ulldlng amounted to an aggregate of { 16 , IB , which represented twenty-nine bidden fter stating the so facts the commtttc ecommended that the Her bid be accepte the quickest and most eat Is factory wa f disposing of the property. It was on con Itlou , however , that the sale should bo con ummatcd , the entire amount paid and pea esslon given on or before November 21 hat releases should be procured from th rlnclpal property owners and a satlafactor x > nd be given to Insure the restoration < he grounds. U was provided that In cas ho promoters should not accede to thcs ondltlcns the executive committee shout iave authority to dispose of the proper ! o the other bidders. Manager Klrkendall submitted a bid < 4,500 for the power house and three Wesi nghouse engines that had been made sln < ho other bids were received , but this wi not considered at this time. The motion to adopt the committee repo ; was discussed at some length and the sent ment of tfio directory seemed very equal ! divided. It was shown that while the ai ccptance of the bids on the buildings at > lumblng alone would leave the exposltk an amount of chattel property that ougl o be worth from { 15,000 to { 20,000 add tlonal , this was more than offset by tl saving of the cost of restoring the groum ; hai would be accomplished by accept It the Her bid. Ilctter for the Stockholder * . Manager Rosowatcr oxprained that In re ommcndlng the acceptance of this bid tl executive committee had acted solely wl a view to getting the most money out It for the stockholders and of getting ref of the property at once. He said that It w costing the association about $500 a day protect the property and consequently eve day's delay meant Just so much actual lo ; All things considered , it had been decid < that the Her bid was the most desirab reaving all question of what was to bo do with the property out of consideration. Several directors opposed the report i the score that It proposed to dispose of tl property with a view to an exposition no year. Others contended that the dlrecto had no business to speculate on what tl purchaser Intended to do with the propert but was legally bound to dleposo of It the best bidder. After some further deba the report was adopted as follows : Ayes Babcock , Brondels , Brown , Huss Kllpatrlok , Klrkendall , Llndsey. Marki Murphy , Rosewater , Saundcrs , Dudley Smi ! Wattles , Wllhclm. Yost , Youngs 16. Noes Carpenter. Evans , Johnson , Kli ball , Lee , Manderson , Metz. Montgomci Payne , Price , A. C. Smith , Wllcox 12. This was the only business to be Iron acted , but General Manderson claimed t floor for the 'purpose of Introducing a res lutlon. This referred to his previous effc to absorb $10,000 of the funds of the expoi tion for the purpose of compiring an "of clal history" of the exposition under the C rectlon of a committee of which he was hi ] self chairman , and the consequent restral Ing order which was issued by the dlstrl court to prevent this Illegal disposition the stockholders' money. The resoluti cited the history of the deal at length , d clarcd that It had bcon passed by a neai unanimous vote of the directory and th every other exposition had made a slmll expenditure. In this connection ho took c caslon to Insert a few sarcastic reflectlo on Manager Roaewater for bl9 opposition the scheme and concluded by authorizing t executive committee to take measures to I slat the Injunction proceedings. Something About Illiitorlei. The resolution was met by a vigorous c position by Manager Roaowatcr. He 0 clarcd that the fact was that the rcsoltitl to which General Manderson referred h never been legally passed by the board directors. It had been brought In and push through at the close of a meeting after sc oral members bad gone away and when quorum was present. Ho also corrected t statement that other expositions had ma such an expenditure. The history of t Chicago exposition bad been published Appleton & Co. at tholr own expense , similar course had been followed at Allan and In every case the material had been fi nlshed by the Department of Publicity. During Mr. Rosewater'a remarks J Manderson Interrupted him frequently w satirical comments and finally Mr. Roi water turned to him and declared that had stood his Insults long enough. "I n have never presided over the United Sta senate , " he Answered , "but I am an Ami lean citizen and In every respect your pee He pointedly remarked that he had i thrown cold water on the exposition enti prise In Its Inclplcncy and concluded by st In ? that he bad applied for the Injunction the solicitation of numerous stochhold nho were Indignant at the attempt squander their money In such a fashion. General Manderson made a long speech support of his resolution. Ho admitted tl ho had not been a believer In tbo exposltl at the start , but declared that after It v under way and he was made a member the board of directors ho had never publl belittled It. After some- further discuss' ' tha objectionable preamble was ellmlntl from the resolution and It was turn adopt A communication from T. S.

The Woman's alliance of Unity churcl held Jts regular monthly meeting yestordaj afternoon , followed by a supper in thi church parlors In the evening. Pursuant t < their custom of offering something In thi way ot an entertainment in connection will the monthly gathering , Itov. Newton Mann pastor of the church , was asked to give i talk. He chose na his subject , "Theories li Regard to November Meteors , " and gave i very entertaining lecture to a good elzei audience. Gclng tack to the dim period when thi substance of the universe was In a cbnotl state , he said the diffused mass first tool on a spheroidal form and began its rc\olu , tlon. Then the substance became mor 1 dense and flattened out into the shape ot i , disk. When 'the process of condensation be I gan the vapor became granular and aggro j gated Into the bodies that now compose th solar system. These bodies , ho said , ar of every conceivable size and form and th greater part of them are known ns meteors This brought the speaker to the tollowln discussion : When we find a meteorite and examine ' wo find that It Is composed of pellets. Tbcs . can be thought of as having been at on I time In Independent motion around the RUI 1 As such now they arc plentifully Ecn'.t-jrc through the holar system and it Is estimate that 400,000,000 of them fall to the cart | every day. But they never reach our sphoi ) tcause we are protected by the surroundln us'ilor of atmosphere. The meteors not only move Independent ! but also In swarms , extending all the VT around the ellipse of .their orbit bclr lensor in some placas than In other ? , so happens that wo pass through the orL of the meteors each year at about the 141 day of November and at that time \v n ways sco a few of the aerolites. But tl hlckest part of them cuts across the ort of the earth once In thlrty-thrco years. Although so groit n number of the m eors are burning themselves o-it in 01 atmosphere every day the stock Is not d iletcd , because a new supply Is cons-tnii' jelng brought within our sy.itoaj throu ; .he agency ot the comets , which nro not ] ng but n swarm ot them traveling tnge'.h ' n ono compact mass. Comets are wandc ers nnd do not originate In our system worlds. They range through space seer ingly without a lawgiver und without plan.At At the end of the talk several of the : who wore interested in the subject nski questions ot the speaker , during the proj ress of which a considerable store of ai tronomlcal knowledge was gained.

TRACKS WILL BE TORN UP Jity Authorities After the Street Grubbing Railroads in Earnest. THOROUGHFARES ARE TO BE CLEARED Cltj * Engineer Itospwnter Snya II Will Ohey the lltimtentor tlcKiila- tlon to the Letter Situation In the North Ilottomn. An anti-railroad crusade purposing tc oust each and every railroad that baa un- awfully laid tracks upon public streets in ho northeastern section of the city , with Sixteenth street ns Its western bounds , ami Webster street ns Its southern limit may 10 tha consequence of the disclosure re cently made that the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha railroad one SunJnj several weeks ugo laid a couple of trad ; . ' along and on Fourteenth street without au- hority from the city. The fight has broadened. It Is no longei Bolely waged against the East Omaha Brldg' nnd Terminal company to prevent that roa < 'rom ' securing entrance Into the city alotif Fourteenth street. As a matter of fact : he opposition to this company seems t ( have combined with It for the fight. Thi contest Is no longer to stop the Termlna company from laying Its proposed tracks ot Fourteenth street , nor even to com pel the Chicago , St. Paul Mlune apolls & Omaha railroad to tear up th tracks on that street , but to force that an < other railroad companies to take up track on other streets In that portion of th city , whkh , It Is alfcged , have been lal unlawfully and without authority. Thi poems to be now the main aim of the prop erty owners and north bottoms manutactui era and the Terminal company Is natural ! sided with them. For If the railroads nt forced to pull up their tracks on Fourteen ! nnd other streets , the Terminal compan hopes to secure the right of way nfong tb former , Inasmuch as other thoroughfare will bo made accessible to the business me of the north bottoms. Thus the resolution that was Introduced I the council Tuesday night by Councllma Burmester and passed , ordering the Boat of Public Works to tear up a traqlc laid I the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omal ralrroad on Fourteenth street a couple i weeks ago , is the first step In this crusad If this is successful , a good nun her of similar resolutions may 1 expected to pnas. This Inltlatoi resolution has not yet reached the Boai of Public Works and no action has ther fore been taken , but Chalnnan Rosowati states that as soon ok It reaches him 1 instructions will bo obeyed to the letter. Mnny Unlnivfnl 1'rackn. It is stated that there are at least a do/ < tracks in the section of the city mentloni that have been laid without the perml ston of the city. There are three on Fou tconth street , including the two that tl Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omal put down a couple of weeks ago , a numb on Fifteenth street belonging to the Ml sourl Pacific , still others on Thirteen street which belong to one of these roa or to the Union Pacific. All these trac nro alleged to bo lying there without leg I permission. I The purpose of the fight U not simply force the railroads to vacate property th belongs to the public and to which they ha no right , but is to make preparation f the future. U tha tracks nro a lowed to lay , the. property lyli least of "Sherman" avemuo and" nor of Burt street would be useless for buslnct [ The heavy grades from the bottoms to She man avenue would bar heavy traffic th way , and the tracks In the streets won shut out the traffic along the thoroughfar southward. What the property owners a : north bottoms manufacturers dcelro Is surmount this condition. -"Understand that we are not opposing t entrance of the East Omaha Terminal cor pany Into the city , " says J. A. Scott , w ' represents a good many Interests on t > i north bottoms. "In fact , \vo believe that ' ' that company Intends to bring one or mo ' i railroads into the city , It should bo cncou aged. But If that company Is allowed to I tracks on Fourteenth street , ns proposed , get Into Omaha , just consider what our si ' nation will be. Fourteenth street Is our on ' i level thoroughfnro now , and that would ' ' closed. Wo cannot go along Fifteen ! because of the Missouri Pacific trad ' Thirteenth street Is not opened ai is encumbered with tracks. Those a the only streets along which vchlcl could go southward and our only outl would bo along Grace or some other stre west to Sherman avenue. But up Sherman avenue , there Is a very hea' grade on all the streets from the bottot and on that account they are difficult not Impassable for heavy wagons. Will lie n Warehouse DUtrlct. "That Is our present situation. Consld what It may become In the future In ca that tbo Terminal company does bring o or more railroads into Omaha. There not the slightest doubt In my mind th in such event the north bottoms and th 3 part of the city could become a grc warehouse and mnnufuctuilng district account of trackage facilities. It would Impossible to make It such without , lc\ outlets , however. Therefore wo ore wor Ing not only for the present , but for t future.
