TUTS OMAHA DATTA" HEE : TI'ESDAY 11 , 18JU ) . HIS IDENTITY IS REVEALED Hatnfl of the Millard Hotel Snicido Proves to fie A. J. Bnyder. HAD BEEN AN INVALID FOURTEEN YEARS HlH llrntlirr Will Arrive In Omnlui from Kort Collltm , Coin. , Toilny to Tnkr Clinrao of the IlrtnnliiK , The Identity of the stranger who commit ted MilcJdo at tho. Millard hotel by taking cyanide of potassium ha * been revealed. Ho registered as A. J. Smith of Salt Lake City , but his real name , as learned from a dispatch from Fort Collins , Colo. , was A. J. Snydcr. He was a brother of S. A. Snyder - der of Fort Collins , who will arrive In Omaha today to tnko charge of the remains and have them conveyed to Kansas for In terment. The parents of the deceased , together with a sister and the brother , who is to arrive here today , have their homo two miles southwest of Fort Collins. A. J. Snydcr , the suicide , had been an Invalid cripple for fourteen years , and to this' fact Is attributed the motive for his self-destruction. His crippled condition was duo to spinal fever , resulting In an abscess In the right hip. Improving somewhat In health , ho went to Denver eleven years ago , and there obtained employment as a clerk and bookkeeper In a real estate office , later serving as chief clerk for ono of the cable car companies. One year ago Mr. Snyder grew worse and uns compelled to resign his position and enter the home of his parents near Fort Col ling , where he remained until ten days ago , when he left for Omaha.

Next day a-letter was received in which was the following : "Before you read this I will bo In my eternal resting place. " Snydcr proclaimed his despondency and desire for death rather than life , as he was a helpless cripple. COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE Jicvy Soon to lie .Mailc to the Amount of $ I-M1 to 1'iiy for Hi-pairing Uofecllvc SlileivnlkN. The weekly meeting of the council com mittee of the whole has gradually become nothing more than a talking and wrangling match nt which comparatively little busi ness Is done. Yesterday afternoon the com mittee was In session from 3 until ti o'clock end during those three hours but one matter of any Importance and but HCtle of the routine 'business ' was cleaned up. The little good that the committee of the whole IK doing Is Inducing a number of the council to favor Its aoollshment and n return to the old system under which the work was distributed among the various committees. The committee on flre , water and police was authorized to remove the "sweat box" that is doing service as the prisoner's dock In the police court. An appropriation of $1,000 will bo made for the use of the Board of Public Works to enable It to notify property owners to repair . defective sidewalks and in case the property owners refuse or fall to do so. In the latter case , the cost of the repairs will , of course , be assessed against the property. This action was taken at the request of City Engineer Rosowater- who stated that there Is not a cent available for such repair work , al though the council has ordered many re pairs and people are "kicking" about bad sidewalks all over the city. The city en gineer said that he has personal knowledge of many such defective walks , but no money has been provided to hire Inspectors to notify property owners to pay for the lum ber , labor and material needed , If the city does the repairing. This appropriation will be taken out of the general fund , to be replaced when the city levies against adjoining property the cost of repairs done by the city during Sep tember. October , November and December of last year. The Board of Public Works has estimated that the amount of these re pairs was $4,441.86. The levy Is soon to bo made. In this connection City Attorney Connell [ was authorized and directed , on his own t suggestion , to notify the owners of all I property opposite which personal Injuries have been sustained by reason of defective walks that they will be held responsible for all the damages. This means that the city will try to make property owners pay for all personal damages resulting from , defective sidewalks In front of their prop . r erty. J. H. Dumont. representing owners of [ property southeant of Rlverview park , who are cut off from access to the city , re . quested the council to grade n road along the south boundary of the park to Ninth | street. The matter was laid over for In vestigation. SIXTEENTH STREET VIADUCT IoiliiHi- roiioxltloii Soon to llr > Mmle liy I'rrNltlcnt Hurt of tliu Union I'm-MIc. President Hurt of the Union Pacific has promised City Engineer Rosewoter that ho will at last make a definite proposition to tho-city regarding the construction of a new Sixteenth street viaduct. He has also Intimated that the structure that the road will agree to build will not be as good a one as the city officials have wished for. The decision ls to bo given on Wednesday or Thursday of this week. The railroad was finally cornered Monday afternoon when City Engineer Rosewater visited President Hurt. The city engineer intimated that It was about time that some agreement regarding a viaduct bo reached , Your Youth are young , yon -B. yon are old , why appear eo ?

J. O. AYT.H , Lowell , Mm , as the present viaduct should bo condemned - demned now. He also called attention to the fact that for the lust lx months the road has been promising to take some nc- lion "In a few days. " President Hurt responded that his road Is renily to tnnko answer to the city's demand for a vlailuct Immediately. JIo nald. however , the viaduct it had planned would not cost ns much ns the ono the city engineer has drawn plans for. lie did not state anything of the character of the struct ure planned by the railroad engineers , but said that he would bo ready to submit plans nt a meeting between himself and the city engineer to bo held on Wednesday or Thurs day.

Cox , who In the Interests of Wal ter Molso recently preferred charges against Chief of Police White In Judge Scott's court , filed with the 'board ' a protest and remonstrance against the Issuance of a liquor license to the Greater America Expo sition company. Eight reasons were sot forth why the license should not bo granted , among them being the Allegations that the application hod not been signed by the requisite number of freeholders of the pre- elnct In which the sale of liquor Is proposed ; that the granting of a license under the application would ho construed to Include all the grounds , no particular place or lo cation having been specified ; and that the articles of Incorporation of the exposition company do not give It authority to bo li censed liquor sellers. N'o action on the mat ter was taken .because the application for n license has not yet been presented. The customary routine business was ad justed in executive session. Frank D. .Mitchell was appointed to n position on the fire department on sixty days' probation. Isaac Simpson , assistant engineer of com pany N'o. 3 , was given a five-days' leave of absence.

The claim was re ferred to the finance committee. The committee on property , to which was referred a petition from Myron D. Karr , In behalf of the North Side Improvement club , for a flre alarm box In Central park , recommended that the petition be granted as soon as funds arc available to defray the cost of the bax. A bill of $14.37 , presented by Ofllcers Key- ser and Sullivan for expenses Incurred in i the pursuit of Geppncr and Van Haller , was I allowed. The appointment of Frank A.

"It Is possible , " she said , "that the time has not come for the teaching of ethics from a textbook In our schooln , but wo are ready for the coming of superintendents and teachers who will tench J > y precept nnd example the truth that character Is Miperlor to knowledge. The harmonious and equable development of all the powers Is the aim of education , and conscience as well as the mathematical quality Is lo be cultivated.

TAKES IT UNDER ADVISEMENT Jiiilurc Fani'rtt WaiilN Time to Con- filer Iiijiiiifllon AKiilnHt the 'lYriiiluu ! Coiiiiuiii- . The dual Injunction proceedings between the owners of the Byron Heed property on North Fourteenth street and the Omaha Terminal company were argued at length be fore Judge Fawcett last evening and a de cision was reserved until after the Judge re turns from Wisconsin. The controversy hinges on the competence of tbe commission- err who were appointed by Judge Baxter to appraise the property In the condemnation liroceedlngs Instituted by Iho terminal com * pony in order to obtain n right of way Into the center of the city. The property wns pnco nppralsod nnd the appraisement was knocked out because ono of the commission- era wns not n freeholder. Another commis sioner was appointed In his place and an other valuation was made. The property owners now contend -that tlio remaining flvo commissioners wcro not competent to servo on Iho second commission because they had onro previously appraised the same prop erty. There was a largo lobby In attendance at the council meeting last night , on account of It ! being the last session of the council which has been In control of municipal affairs for the ' last year. All the members were pres- cut and Mayor Ensor occupied the chair. Liberality was one of the features of the cession , ns n resolution was passed directing the Omaha Water company to locate flro'v ' hydrants at fourteen different Intersections In the city. The resolution , which was In-'t ' troduced by Barrett , called for the placing ! of hydrants as follows : Thirteenth nnd M.'r ' . Fifteenth . nnd M , Sixteenth and M. Seven- tccnth nnd M , Twentieth and Z , Eighteenth nnd Z , Eighteenth and S , Nineteenth nnd S , Twenty-sixth and T , Thirty-eighth nnd T , Twenty-eighth nnd V , Twenty-ninth nnd V , I i Thirty-ninth nnd K nnd Thirty-ninth and J i streets. This makes fourteen additional hydrants , which , at the regular rental , will add JS40 to the yearly water bill. The rcso- lutlon carried without n dissenting vote. In connection with , this matter Mayor Ensor said It might nppcar to some that fourteen was nn unusually largo number of hydrants' ' to order located at one time , hut he thought that If there was nny one thing the tnx- p payers were entitled to It was water con-'r ' ncctlons and lire protection. The mayor as-j sorted that before cither signing or dlsap-i i proving the resolution he would personally | I 1 Investigate the locality of each hydrant and.J . If ho found that mains and hydrants weroi i needed ho would certainly give his sanction ] j to the resolution. j I An ordinance was Introduced establishing the grade on D street from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-fifth streets and after being rcad | the first tlmo was referred to the Judiciary j committee. Ordinances establishing the grade on U street from Thirty-first to'J I ' Thirty-third streets , on C street from Twenty-third to Twenty-fourth streets and on D street from Twcnty-tUlrd to Twenty- fourth streets were passed. In connection with the almost Impassable condition of L street from Twentieth i Twenty-fourth streets a communication wns > | read from Cash Brothers offering to sell to'i ! ' ' the city a quantity of dirt for 6 cents pen cublo yard. This dirt Is to be taken : the excavation for the Holmes & Adkiiis' ' barn at Twenty-fourth and O streets. The communication was referred to the proper committee. City Clerk Carpenter reported twcnty-nino births and forty-six deaths during the month of March. At the suggestion of Barrett a crosswalk I will be laid on the west side of Twentieth [ street at the Intersection of U street. j ! An effort was made to have the council ' take some action on tne mud hole at Twenty-first and Z streets and also on the caveln at Twenty-seventh and Y streets , but after considerable discussion the matter went over for the new council. Tralnor suggested that the chief of the fire depart ment bo Instructed to flush Q street from Thirty-third street to Twenty-seventh street and an order will be Issued to this effect. Bills for March were rend and approved , after which the mayor announced that the next business In order would be the can vassing of the votes cast nt the last elec tion. With the consent of the council the mayor appointed Messrs. Barrett , Mort and Fanferllk tellers. The official count : First ward : Kelly. 448 ; Munger , 432.
