ORDINANCEFORnODSEMOVERS
Telephone , Telegraph and Eleotrio Light
Companies Oppose It.
SAY IT WOULD INVADE THEIR RIGHTS
Clnlm ( lint nxpcnue of CnttltiK nml
McndlitKVlrcn .Should lie
llnrne l > r Ilotmemovem
Thcnmclvcd.
The passage of the "housemovers' " ordi
nance or at least that portion of It regarding
the removal of wires and polea to permit the
passage of buildings in course of removal
will bo opposed by the corporations affected.
The Telephone , Telegraph , Motor and Elec
tric Light companies all contend that the
passngo of the ordinance as now framed
wouFd be an unwarranted Invasion of their
rights granted by and under the authority
of the fanchlscs given them by the city to
maintain pole lines necessary to conduct and
operate their business.
All four companies are a unit that they
ehould not bo called upon to bear the ex
pense of cutting and removing their wires
to accommodate the houaemover. This ex
pense , they all claim , should bo berne by the
housomover or the party owning the houao
being moved. As to the tlmo of day at which
the wires should be moved or cut to permit
of the passage of houses being moved the
Motor nnd Electric Light companies differ.
Manager Dlmmock of the Motor company
contends that his company cannot bo com
pelled to cut Ita wires during the time that
Its trains are In operation , as to do so would
seriously Inconvenience the public , whoso
Interests would thereby suffer. The cutting
of the company's wires woufd necessitate
and result In the shutting off of the power
and cause a serious delay In the car service.
As a further and stronger reason Manager
Dlmmock calls attention to the fact that his
company Is engaged 1n the carrying of the
United States malls and that the munici
pality has no power to Interfere with that
service. Manager Dlmmock Is perfectly will
ing that when necessary to allow the passage
of a house being moved the wires of his
company shall be cut or removed , providing
dt Is done at night when the cars are not
running and providing further that the ex
pense Is borne by the party moving or own
ing the house.
Manager Nichols of the Electric Light
company holds that his company Is under
contract with the city to furnish lights for
the convenience and protection of the public
and to aid the police of the city In protect
ing its citizens and their property. He holds
that the city should not require the company
to out any of the lines supplying lights dur
ing the hours when such service is needed
for the reason that the lighting of the city
during the hours of the night Is of more
Importance to the public generally than U
the possible Inconvenience of the Individual
passenger of the street car company. Fur
ther , Mr. Nichols says the frequent cutting
and rejoining of the electric light wires
moans a source of permanent expense from
the fact that the Joins offer an Increased re
sistance to the current and the greater num
ber of Joins in a line the greater the cost
of maintaining the lights on that circuit.
Manager Nlcoll of the Western Union Telegraph -
graph company looks upon the proposed or
dinance as a very serious matter and that
the city should go slow In passing any measure -
uro that will affect the rights of any person
or corporation. The cutting of Us wires Is
a serious matter for a telegraph company ,
as It interrupts the business practically of
the whole country. The mere expense of cut
ting the wires or temporarily removing them
Is a small matter when compared to the
inconvenience and loss that may result to
tho"company. Like the other local managers
of tljo corporations affected by the proposed
ordinance ho Is not disposed to embarrass
or binder the housemovers In the prosecution
of their business. Ho contends , however ,
that as the cutting of the wires Is for the
benefit , of the houscmover solely all expense
connected with the same should bo borne by
the" party benefited.
Manager Atkins of the telephone company
U not worrying very much about the matter ,
as ho feels that the passage of such an ordi
nance would not affect the rights of his
company. The ordinance dated October 8 ,
1688 , granting a franchise to the Nebraska
Telephone company contains the following
clause :
"Whenever It shall be necessary for any
authorized person to move along or across
said streets or alleys any vehicle or structure
turo of such height or size as to Interfere
with any poles or wires BO erected , the
company using and operating such wires
shall upon twenty-four hours' notice In writIng -
Ing , served upon the agent or manager by
such person so authorized , and payment of
the actual cost thereof , temporarily remove
such polea and wires from such places as
must nece&uarily bo crossed by such vehicle
or structure. "
Ho does not believe that the city can abro
gate this right of the company to demand
payment of the expense of cutting or remov
ing Its wires by passing another ordinance
making It obligatory on the company to do
the work at Its own expense.

\nnli Urfcmlniit In Another Suit ,
E , W. Nash ct Omaha was made defendant
In another suit In the district court yester
day arising out of the real estate transactions
of John W. Paijl , the erstwhile railway promoter
meter In this city a few years ago , The
Citizens' State bank appears aa plaintiff and
the suit Is to make Nash Ilabfe for a Judg
ment obtained by Paul anil the Union Land
Improvement company. The suit.Is similar
to the one brought by tbo Interstate Com
mercial company of Chicago against Nash a
couple of days ngo.
M. M. Emlg secured a Judgment against
Paul and the Union Land and Improvement
company for 51,851.50 on January 18 , 1896 ,
which has slnco remained unsatisfied. The
judgment was later assigned to R. Emlg , i
who In turn assigned It to the bank , which
now brings suit to recover from Nash , claim
ing that he Is Indebted to the Union Land
and Improvement company In the sum of
$70,000 for stock which he held , but never
paid for. Attachment as In the other suit Is
auked for against all of Nash'a property In
this city.
Mimlier Oft * Into Trouble.
Ed King , a waiter In a Broadway restaur
ant , was up before Acting Police Judge Vlen
jestorday morning on the charge of disturb
ing the peace. King has the reputation of
being quite a masher among the fair Eex , but ! i
missed the mark Thursday evening. While I
strolling along Sixteenth avenue bo met ai i
pretty young woman , -who failed to take ,
notice of the winning am I re that King put
on , Nothing daunted King followed the
young woman and addressed her , Sbo re
sented the familiarity acd filed a complaint
with the police. The cate was not pushed
and Kliis waa discharged after receiving a
little fatherly advice from Justice Vlen.

T o "Women IVnnt lllvorcen.
Two divorce suits were commenced In the
district court yesterday. Mrs. Minnie Ken
nedy asks the court to dissolve the tie * which
bind her to George W. Kennedy , whom .she
married In this city January 13 , 1897. Mrs.
Kennedy says her husband has been anything
but a loving helpmate and that on the con
trary ho has continually beaten , choked and
otherwise mistreated her. She asks that
she bo awarded the custo'ly of their only
child , William , aged l',4 years.
Mrs. Mary Knln Is also tired of being
cruelly used and seeks a permanent separa
tion from Wi S. Kaln , to whom she was
married less than a year ago. They were
married in this city August 23 of last year.
Mrs. Kaln alleges that her husband , who
swore to love , honor and cherish her , has
done nothing but the contrary. According to
her petition he has uscd her as a punchlng-
bag and has frequently knocked her down.
She put up with the abuse until ono day
two weeks ago ho drew a butcher knife from
hla pocket and threatened to cut her throat.
He failed to carry out his threat , however ,
but after knocking her down with a blow
In the face , as she alleges , ho deserted her
and has slnco stayed away. She asks the
court to restore to her her maiden name of
Mary HowoMs.
Blunt Erect Fire Encnpen.
No stops have been taken by the city au
thorities to enforce the "fire escape" ordi
nance and It la understood that none win bo
until the return of Alderman Atkins , the
chairman of the council committee on flro
and light. Chief Bates of the fire depart
ment has been making Investigations and
recently visited Omaha for the purpose of
observing the system of fire escapes In vogue
on the largo buildings there. Alderman
Shubert of the flro nnd light committee has
nlso been giving the matter some attention
and ho says there Is no Intention of allow
ing the ordinance to become a dead letter.
During the summer months there Is little
risk of any of the largo buildings catching
flro and on that account , ho says , there Is
no Immediate necessity for pressing the en
forcement of the ordinance. Every building
that comes within the ordinance , however ,
ho says , will have to be fitted with flro es
capes nnd the owners of such bulMlngs , al
though they will be given every latituda
possible , will have to comply strictly with
the provisions of the measure.

SIOUX CITY. July 28. ( Special ) . O. C.
Tredway , a pioneer lawyer of Stoux City ,
has struck It rich In the will of. a client.
Two weeks ago Mrs. Theonhllo ' Bruguler ,
wife "of the first white settler In Sl'oi'x City ,
died , leaving a valuable farm In Woodbury
county , considerable personal property anil ,
it Is supposed , at least $10,000 In cash.
Under the terms of her will all but $3,50t )
In cash goes to Mr. Tredway. For some
tlmo prior to her death Mrs. Brugulev lived
In the Tredway family , and she decided sev
eral months ago to repay them In a hand
some way. She leaves several stop-children
children of the first Mrs. Brugulor and
they do not get any "of the estate under the
terms of the will.
Theee step-children are half-breeds. Years
ago Bruguler lived with the Indians , and ho
married ono of tbo daughters of old War
Eagle , the famous Sioux chief. She died In
1856 , leaving eight children. Some of these
are still living among the Indians. One
daughter resides in St. Louis and another
ono Is the wife of an importer and lives In
style in Now York City. The girls are well
educated , but their etepmother never had
much uao for any of them. It may be that
an effort will be made to break the will.

of seeing a silver majority in the Iowa

homa City.
DBS aiOINES , July 28. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The flre insurance agents of Iowa
met in secret session hero today and or
ganized , with Henry French of Sioux City
as president , and Joel Tuttle of Des Molnes ,
eecretary and treasurer. The meeting was
strictly an executive session. Newspaper
raen were tabooed. After the sessions had
closed the secretary was Instructed to give
out no names of officers or agents in at
tendance. The purpose of the organization
was stated to be entirely social , and to
send delegates to the national meeting. The
reason of the Insurance men for their care
ful secrecy is said to be fear of a collision
with the Blanchard law. which is deemed
about the worst statute on the books of
all laws unfriendly to insurance interests.
This law prevents combinations of agents
on rates. Again , the organization Is In
tended to protect agents from what are
deemed to bo unfair practices by certain
companies , such as overhead writing. For
this reason It is deemed wise by the of
ficers of the organization that the public
know nothing of the nature of the organiza
tion , or of Its personnel ,
Thomas Meek , the school teacher who Is
wanted here on a charge of criminal as
sault , Is at present In the custody of Sheriff
Stout , and will bo returned to Des Molnes
and Incarcerated in the county Jail tonight.
He was arrested in Oklahoma City by orders
from tbo sheriff's office here. Meek was
prominent In this county as a school teacher
and at one time was a candidate before the
republican convention for county superin
tendent of schools. The crand Jury at Its
last session returned a bill against
Meek , charging him with criminal
assault. The principal witnesses were
his child pupils. To the little girls
ho declared that In case they told
anyone of his acts he would kill them.
This conduct was keot up for three years.
At last ono of the girls told her mother.
The mother told the father and then there
was trouble. Meek sot wind of the trouble
qnd lied. The grand Jury returned the
bill and a hunt was made for tbo school
teacher , At last Sheriff Stout traced his
man by reason of letters being received by
Mrs. Meek at Polk City , The letters were
forwarded from one place to another , but
at last the sheriff landed him ,
Mrs. John Housby was killed today by
a train on the Rock Island main line just
cast of the city , The wheels of the engine
and cars cut off both the woman's legs nnd
her body was frightfully mangled. MM.
Housby , who wag 40 years old , leaves a
husband and four children. She was. walk
