The Hartley case went to the Jury late
yesterday ufternoon and under the Instruc
tions of the court the Jury will bo required
to rolirn a vcrd' ' ' for the full amount
claimed by the ntnto. The stale asked
that the Jury hould bo advised that
It inuat.report n finding for the full amount
claimed' against all the defendants ex
cept Mrs. Mary ntzgornld and that , If it
found from the evidence that Mrs. Kltz-
gcrald was of sound mind at the lime she
signed the bond , she must also bo held
responsible. This was on the proposition
that the amount of the defalcation , as It
appeared from the books of Iho treasurer's
ollice , and the fact that It occurred during
Darllov's second term , was conclusive ovl-
denco that had not been successfully dis
puted by the defense.
Judge 1'awcctt made his ruling on this ap
plication when court convened yes
terday morning. He stated that ho
could me no other view than to
sustain the motion and Instruct the Jury
u requited Ho explained that , however
much ho might Bynipithlre with the defend
ants from motives of friendship , the moro
thoroughly ho examined the authorities and
reviewed the evidence the more firmly ho
became convinced that he would not bo
Justified In sending all these contentions to
the Jury Ho consequently stated that the
only matter the Jury would liive to con
sider Is the sanity or Insanity of Mrs. Fitz
gerald , and whether she la to be held as to-
responslblo with the other defendants.
No comment was made by any of the at
torneys on the ruling , and the Jury was
culled In to hear the argument on the ono
iiuretlon that Is left for it to decide. Mr.
Manahan stated that none of the other at
torneys for the defense wished to bo heard ,
and Mr. Smjth said that Mr. Oldham would
open the argument for the state and ho
would clooo It himself. Mr. Manahan thoa
reviewed the evidence that related to Mrs.
Flt/gcraid's mental condition and made a
vigorous plea for the release of his client.
Ho was followed by Mr. Oldham and Mr.
Smyth.
Under the instructions that wore given
by Judge Fawcett the Jury will bo re
quired to return a verdict against the de-
fomlauts for the full amount of $555,790 66 ,
with Interest from January 7 , 1897 , when
Hartley went out of ollleo , and which makes
the total $646,382 45. Afl far as the
purposes of the state are concerned. It
does" not matter whether Mrs. Fitzgerald Is
held or not , as the remaining bondsmen are
liable for the full amount.
Whllo the ruling of Judge Fawcett was
nppaiently a knockout blow for the bondsmen -
mon , they seemed to tnko it as a matter of
course , and express confidence that It will
bo reversed in the supreme court. Their
nttornejB Twill fllo a motion for a now trial ,
and If this Is overruled they will appeal the
case to the supreme court. Their confi
dence In a different verdict in the higher
court Is based on the fact that Judge Faw
cett permitted the pleadings In the Lan
caster county case against the first-term
bondsmen to bo introduced In evidence In
this case. . . They assume that this raises a
question whether the entire defalcation oc
curred during the second term , as Is de-
ternilncd by the Instructions , and that on
this and other points the supreme court
will dccldo that the evidence should have
been allowed to go to the Jury.
At 10 o'clock lust night the Jury returned
a sealed verdict.

When the preliminary hearing of Wolff
Xarliarla and Phillip Nathan , who are
charged with having set fire to their store
nt 1207 I'arnam street last December , was
resumed before Judge Baxter , Julius Kaplan
was Htill on the stand and his cross-examina
tion continued through the forenoon
of yesterday. The witness was very
oxcltublo and his Engllfh occasion
ally became almost unintelligible
under tlio severe fire of questions , but his
answers did not materially differ from those
which ho made In his direct examination.
His story was brought out In more detail
and a good deal of It was of a decidedly
sensational character.
In his direct examination Kaplan referred
to n conversation that ho declared ho bad
bad with the defendants , In which Zacharla
confessed to him that ho had set fire to the
store In order to got the Insurance. Ho t-nhl
that ho came to Omaha lost April and went
to the store , where ho was pleasantly greeted
by both proprietors. After a short talk
about business Zacharla told him that they
were both doing well and had money. Thea
ho said that Uiero waa only one way to muko
money , and that was to ( have a fire. Ho
added that both lie and Nathan were broke
before the flro. but that they wore both In
good shape at the tlmo the conversation oc
curred. Then Zacharla took him upstairs
and showed him how the file started. At
the name tlmo Zacharla said that ho bad a
hard tlmo with the insurance companies and
the chief of police , but ho had a good friend ,
Mr. Yatcswho was on the arbitration com
mittee and who pulled him through.
Continuing his vnrston of this conversa
tion , the witness said that ho nbltod Zacharla
how much they got out of It , nnd ho told
him $14,000. Ho exclaimed that the loss
could , not have been over $500 , and Zacharla

told him that Mr. Yaten helped him fix that.
In further explanation Zacharla said that
Mr Yates did ft big business with tlie In
surance companies , and ho made them pay
him the full amount.

Some wwks ago John A. McShano filed n
suit In district court against George J
Hunt nnd other stockholders In the Holmont
Irrigation Canal and Water Tower company
to secure n half Interest In the enterprise ,
which tie declare * ! belongid to him In re
turn for his services In securing the con
struction of a branch of the llurllngton rail
road to the territory covered by the enter-
prtae , and to hn\o a receiver appointed for
the canal company. Hunt has now filed his
separata answer In which ho enters Into a
detailed and vigorous attack on the conten
tion set up In the petition , and alleges that
McShanc merely used his previous knowledge - .
edge that the Burlington Intended to build
the branch anywaj to Induce Hunt to glvo
him a half Interest in the rompnn > .
TheBelmont _ canal la located on the south
slilo of the norlti branch of the Platte river ,
about thlrty-llvo miles north of Sidney. The
company Is Incorporated for $40,000 , and
the property Is estimated as worth at least
$100,000.
Hunt declares that ho was confined to his
homo ut riorcncc as the result of Injurkn
sustained In n railway accident when vMc-
Slmuo called on him nnd stated that tie had
heard that ho hud a three-years' option on
the Hclmont concern ut $100,000. During the
conversation McShane said that he hnd had
a conversation wltli President Perkins of
the Ilurltngton and that he thought ho could
Induce him to build u branch that would tap
tlio Dolraunt property Ho also nald that ho
had closed out i-orao business and had about
$1,000,000 that Uo was anxious to Invest In
a paying enterprise
Hunt sa > s that at this tlmo ho admitted
that ho would bo willing to give n half In
terest In the property for the sake of hav
ing the railroad built Ho now declares , however -
over , that McShane had nothing whatever to
do with securing the railroad , that ho had
no Inducncu whatever v\Ith the Hmllngton
company , and that ho was financially Insol
vent. Kor those leasons ho contends that
McShano should not be given an Interest In
the property and that no receiver should be
appointed.

City OIllclnlN Are Unjoined from Io-
cutliii ? It nt riorciiov.
The troubles of the -ity ofllclals In re
gard to the location of the pest house are
not over. Just as they believed they had
found a spot east of Florence lake where
Its presence could not be objectionable they
are met by an Injunction that effectually
prevents them from carrying out the plan
until the case comes up during the next
term of court. The writ was granted by
Judge Scott on the application of Otto
Barsch , Peter Lesch and half a dozen other
residents In the vicinity of the George
Forbes place , which has just been secured
by the city as a site for the hospital. They
represent that the proposed location Is only
one block from the county road and four
blocks from a school house. They assert
that the location of a contagious disease hos
pital at that point would be a menace to
public health and that it Is entirely unneces
sary. On this showing Judge Scott Issued
a temporary Injunction without giving the
city authorities an opportunity to present
their side of the case.
Fined for Contempt.
John N. nittcr. a farmer who lives near
Florence , was fined $200 and costs by Judge
Scott for contempt of court in violating an
Injunction Issued some tlmo ago In a dispute
between Illtter and Fred Dyers over the lo
cation of the line between their properties.
On representations of Hitter's attorneys the

LAWYERS HAVE FINE PICNIC

Police .Indue.
Police court spectators haa an opportunity
yestoidny morning to eeo half a dozen of
the court attorneys getting in their work In
good shape. As ono of the officers put It
"tho grafters graft the people , nnd the law
yers graft the graftere. "
When Court Officer Johnson brought up
the usual Monday morning grist ho left them
inslsdo the railing because It was cooler
there , instead of putting them In the sweat
box , known ns the prisoners' booth. This
gave Iho attorneys the chance for which
they were looking. They mingled with the
prisoners and talked with thorn for the
purpose of learning if they had any money
and of what they were charged. When a
prisoner entered a plea of not guilty ho or
she turned to find an attorney awaiting to
hear the circumstances. In ono case where
a woman was charged with prostitution
Judge Gordon read the complaint to her nnd
she entered a plea of guilty. His honor aa-
ECKsed a fine of $5 and costs. She flashed a
roll of bills from eomo hidden recoptacfe to
pay her fine. This created a sensation In
the ranks of the attorneys. One Induced hornet
'
not to pay her line for a while , as ho be-
Hoved ho could got the court -withdraw
the fine. Then she could enter a plea of
not guilty and , as Is customary In such
cases , it would bo Impossible to convict her.
The representation was made that the
woman did not know to what she was plead
ing. Judge Gordon said bo bad read the
complaint to her and that It set forth plainly
that she was a lewd character. Ho believed
any woman of the town ought to know what
that meant and would not permit the with
drawal of the plea. She paid the clerk $7.50
much to the disgust of the attorneys , who
disliked to see the money slip through their
fingcra.
A colored woman who entered a pfoa of
guilty to prostitution and vagrancy was told
to sit down and await sentence. Whllo the
attention of the court was taken up with
other business a lawjer went to her and
Induced her to withdraw her plea of guilty
as ho believed ho could get her off without
a fine. This was permitted , and her case
was continued until another day.

The city council again voted acalnst the
closing of Seventeenth street Monday after
noon In ccncral committee mcetlnc , by
sending Lobeck's resolution , that the orig
inal proportion of the roads bo accepted , to
the general file. This resolution was Intro
duced nt the last regular council meeting ,
but was not acted upon then because ono
mcmbir of the council was absent. The full
council was present jcstcrday.
Councilman Stuht exhibited the plan of
a road to give some of the property which
Is hemmed In by the Union Pacific nnd
Burlington roads an outlet to the city by
vay of Twentieth street H contemplates
a rottto west on Williams street to Nine
teenth , from Nineteenth west to Gcorgo
street or Nineteenth avenue on a road to bo
purchased for the city 1 > > ono of the prop-
ert > owners nnd fiom Nineteenth avenue
to Twentieth street by way of a road to bo
donated by the Burlington road Stuht
s ild that the Burlington officials had prom
ised to give the land necessary for one of the
streets.
This plan wai urged upon the council
by Stuht and Mr. Harpstrlte , whoso prop
erty It Is Intended to benefit by providing
an nutlet. It was vigorously opposed by
Ferdinand SlreiU , because it contemplated
grading a street adjoining homo property
of his sixteen or eighteen feet. Even though
a retaining wall were built for him , ho
said , ho would bo damaged nnd ho would
not consent.
Stuht suggested that the proposed high
way could also bo used by the Paxton &
Vlerllng iron woiKR as an outlet from the
plant preferabfo to the ono by way of the
Sixteenth street viaduct , but Mr. Vlerllug
said It was entirely too roundabout and long
a way by which to reach the city. The coun-
cllmon generally refused to connect this
proposition with the question of closing
Seventeenth street and It was considered as
an entirely distinct matter. Nothing definite
was done with It.
The claim of Mrs. Henrietta Lang for | 6CO
rent of a house , which It Is alleged the city
promised to restore to grade and left stand
ing eleven months in an uninhabitable con
dition , was referred to the city engineer for
an Investigation of its merits
Lobeck's resolution to give all city em
ploye1 ? a half-holiday on Saturday with full
pay came up nnd was made the subject
for a number of Jokes. Mercer moved to
amend It to make It provide for a whole holi
day on full pay and Mount moved to amend
to make it include all of Friday. Blngham
moved to Increase the pay of the laborers in
the employ of the city from $1 50 to $1.75
per day. Tills was the straw that broke the
camel's back , as it was discovered that the
council had not authority to fix the pay
of employes of the Public Works depart
ment , that being a function of the board.
Lobeck's Idea was voted down while ho was
still sounding its praises.
On application of two property owners the
penalty and Interest on their real estate
taxes were canceled , the representation be
ing made that their payment might be suc
cessfully resisted In the courts.
Burmoster asked for and obtained an
appropriation of J800 for the repair of the
pavement on Douglas , Sixteenth and Four
teenth streets.
The claims for lighting viaducts nnd subways , -
ways , which have been a bone of conten
tion between the railroads and the city for
some time and are mentioned in the viaduct
proposition , were ordered paid. The coun
cil had the opinion of both the city attorney
and his assistant that viaducts and subwavs
are streets and that the city must light
them.
CROWD HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Accidental UlnchurKC of IlliindcrhnsH
on the Union Ilciiot Platform
Cannon Genuine Alarm.
The accidental discharge of a blunderbuss ,
the shot from which passed over the heads
of a huge crowd of people on the union
depot platform , caused many to draw a
sigh of relief when it was learned that none
had been Injured toy the terrific explosion.
It was shortly after 8 o'clock , and the Mil
waukee-Chicago express had Just steamed
Into the depot. Passengers , and friends at
the station to meet them , surged to and
fro on the platform. Up toward the front
of the train the express messenger had
transfoired his shooting arm , an old blunder
buss , from the car to an express truck , One
of the station men grasped It for the pur
pose of securing It more firmly on the
truck. The trigger caught on the money
chest and an explosion occurred. The
only thing that saved ono or more fatalities
as an attendant result wao that the weapon
was discharged upward. Ono woman , small
of etnture , was just in line with the muzzle -
zlo when It exploded. Had she been two
Inches taller the top of her head would
have been blown off. Conductor Charles
Mitchell also had a lucky escape. Scatter
ing shot from the weapon grazed bis face
and loft several white marks along the
cheek oa a reminder of the close call. The
discharge passed through a window of the
baggage room and Imbedded Itself In the
stovepipe and Interior walls of the room.
Morris Fleming , the passenger director ,
witnessed the affair and ntntes that he con
siders It the luckiest accident that he has
over encountered in hla experience.
MUST PAY A SPECIAL TAX
Exposition Concevvlonnlren Are With
in IiliultH of Internal Itcveiine
Wur Tax.
Internal Revenue Collector Holtz la after
the concessionaires at the exposition. Com-
slonor Wilson ban ruled that the shows are
subject to a special tax and the local reve-
rue men are appraising the amount of tax
that it Is proper for each to pay. Last year
the shows escaped the clutches of the gov
ernment , but the decision of last year has
been reversed , and all exhibitions charging
a special fee will have to pay the Internal
revenue tax. The Greater American Expo
sition haa already compiled with the law.
This tax , however , is not sufficient to cover
separate exhibitions where another fee Is
levied on the public for admission , In order
to escape this tax they would have to be
under the direct supervision of the man
agers of the Greater America Exposition ,
which is not the case. The tax will vary
in amount from $10 to $100.

The passcnuer deportments of all the
railroads lenort that the travel this sum
mer la more encouraging than It has been
for several jear , and the agents nil at
tribute this to the general prosperity preva
lent throughout the western states A short
tlmo ago the passenger department of ono
of the Omaha roads sent a lettur to the
agents along Its line Instructing- them to re
turn the names of those people who ordi
narily spend the summer at some outing
place. The replies Indicate that for this
early In the season there has been a general
exodus from the towns nil over the stirte.
Business men with their families who here
tofore have been uniblc to enjoy the lux
ury of a summer outing have already hied
themselves to some popular retreat to hpend
n few weeks of the hot Reason. In this
connection a passenger man said :
"There Is no accounting for the \agarlcs
of summer travel. One > car the world am
all his relations go cast , the next > e.ir to
the west and the year after everybody stavs
at home. Tortunaleb , this Is not the jeir
when the latter condition prevails. "
The railroad man then proceeded to relate
a little history regarding the Hlack Hills o
South Dakota , which section Is coming moro
into prominence as a pleasure resort be
cause of the many nttr.trlioa" It oflers
When the Black Hills rctionvns firs
opened up by the railroads there was n gen
eral rush thither by the summer tiavelers
Then came a reaction and the Black Hills
seemed to have been cut oft the calling lists
of the tourists. This jcar a trip to that
region seems to be quite the thing and the
