Construction company of Chicago , which has ' wade a proposition to the city to build It an electric lighting plant to bo owned and operated by the city , held an Informal conference - forenco with the members of the city council yesterday afternoon and explained his prop osition. A majority of the city ofllclals are Jn favor of municipal ownership and If the project can bo wrapped around with the proper safeguards so as to protect the tax- payerii and the city's Interests there are good prospects of the proposition being ac cepted. By Mr , Draffen's figuring the city will own the plant In about twelve years at a no greater outlay than It paj every year nt present for lighting tlin streets , The city's contract wllh the Council Bluffs Gas and Electric company expires next De cember , although the company's franchise docs not terminate for seventeen yearn yet , The matter will bo presented at the meet ing of the council tomorrow night.

PARTLY IN FAVOR OF CITY Judge Aylesworth Decides Suit Against Motor Company in Superior Court , MUNICIPALITY TO RECOVER 86853,11 Until * Dint Dcfmilnnt Cnritnnttlon IK .Nut Mntitc fur COM ( of I'm I UK Trnokn In Front of IntcrncctloiiN , Judge Aylcsworth of the superior court handed down hla decision yesterday In the suit of the City against the Omaha & Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge company , giving the city a decree for $6,853.11. This Is the suit in which the city sought to recover from the motor company the cost of filling ditches on Avenue A from Four teenth to Thirty-sixth etroct ; for replacing the pavement on Broadway torn up by the motor company when laying Its tracks ; for the Intersection paving on Broadway from Twelfth to First street ; for the Intersec tion paving on Pearl street to the Junction of Main and from the junction of Pearl and Main to the Hock Island depot ; for the Inter section paving on Fifth avenue from Pearl to South Eighth street and for the grading U Intersections of Avenue A and Fifteenth to Twenty-sixth street , Inclusive. , In his decision Judge Aylcsworth held that the city could recover for the cost of tilling Avcnuo A and found for It In the sum of f6,550.52 on this count. He also held that .ho city could recover for the paving be tween the tails nnd one foot outside of the motor company's tracks In front of Bayllss park and the englno house on South Main street , both being city property , and on this count gave the city a decree for $302.59. As to the recovery for the paving between : ho motor company's tracks and one foot on .he outsldo In front of the street intersec- : lens Judge Aylcsworth found In favor of the motor company. The city sued for $6,323.89 and Interest from 1891. The court's decision in favor of the motor company on this point arises from a defect In the city ordinance. The ordinance provides that the motor company shall pay to the abutting property owners the cost of the paving be tween Its tracks and for one foot on the out side , but does not provide that the company should pay the city for like- paving In front of the street Intersections. The suit was originally Instituted In 1891 , but no effort was made to bring It to trial | until City Attorney Wadsworth assumed j office , when one of his first acts was to In sist on having the case disposed of. It was tried before Judge Aylesworth on an agreed statement of facts. It Is believed that the city will appeal from Judge Aylesworth's ruling ns to the company's liability for the paving at the Intersections.

"I am Adolph Krueger from Creston , la. , C09 South Elm street. " This written In pencil on a sheet of note paper and en closed In a blank envelope served to Iden tify a man whoso lifeless body was found yesterday morning In the yard of the Cas- ady homestead cm Washington avenue. A gaping wound In the right side of the head , from which the man's Hfe-blood had oozed , and a revolver lying within a few Inches of the nerveless hand seemed to clearly In dicate that It was a case of suicide. Residents In the neighborhood had been aroused about 3 o'clock In the morning by the report of what sounded like a pistol shot. No particular notice was paid to It at the time. The body of Krueger was discov ered by the driver of a grocery wagon shortly after 7 o'clock. Coroner Troynor was notified and the body was taken to the undertaking establishment of W. C * Estep. Undertaker Estep searched the man's pockets and discovered the paper which gave the clew to his. Identity , A few- feet from the dead man an empty whisky flask was found. Coroner Treynor Impaneled a Jury and the Inquest was partially held. The only evidence forthcoming was that of several of the residents in the neighborhood who had heard the shot and seen the body lying In the grass In the yard of the Casady homo- ( Contlnued on Seventh Page. ) Pick Are a class of people everybody abhors and society shuns.
