That the public market of Omaha will
ever bp located on the Jackson street site
contemplated In the condemnation ordinance
now before tho city council is Improbable.
That a private corporation, stock company
or Individuals will ever own it is an
ephemeral condition the occurrence of
which Is still more to be doubted.
The reason for these things ban ust
leaked out. It Is that Councilman Mount
has discovered another and totally different
site for the market, with so many features
to recommend It that It 3ecms to be taking
a fast hold on the minds of the promoter's
fellow aldermen.
j Till now only two plans Involving a
ennnge in tne market navo dccii kiium iu
tho public. The first was for the city to
buy a half block facing Jackson street, be
tween Tenth and Eleventh streets, ana
later build a market there, using for the
present sheds and stalls of temporary con
struction. This plan evoked enormous op
position on the part of commission men
and others Interested, and, although an
ordlnauce to that effect Is already In the
hands of the council, chances of passage
have from the first been very slim
Tho other project was to allow a small
company of local capitalists to mum a
market and own and conduct .
Mount's I'roioscil l.nontlon.
On tho long strip of ground along the west
sldo of Nineteenth street, between Harney
and St. Mary's avenue, Mr. Mount would
place the market. This piece of land Is 500
feet long nnd 150 feet deep Its entire length.
It Is totally unoccupied, save for ono frame
building, a livery stable. The territory lies
along Just west of tho library building and
east of the street car barn at Twentieth and
Harney streets, extending from theic clear
over to St. Mary's avenue.
Its size Is the ono great feature of this
plot of ground dllatej upon In advocating
Its purchase and use ns a market place.
There are minor considerations nlso In Its
favor, but Its extent Is the main point.
Slnco the first proposal of the Jackson street
site some of tho councllmcn have demurred
to it as being too small n place. It Is hut
132 feet deep nnd one block long, The
Mount site answers this demand for more
room. Mr. Mount Is enthusiastic tn the
cause. Ho says:
I shall always be opposed to any market
scheme which proposes in tho beginning a
slto that Is too small for tho purpose. Such
an affair must havo room, nnd thero Is
plenty of it on Nineteenth street. Tho spot
Is convenient of access. A flro englno sta
tion nnd barn could bo built in one end of
it, and the companies nt Eighteenth and
Harney streets transferred there. The city
now pays $200 a month rental for the
present location, and It might as well save
the money."
No I'rlrr Flsoil on Mrlin.
Mr. Mount has not yet prepared nn ordi
nance looKtng to tno nccompiisntnent or
his plan, but that Is for n very good reason.
Herman Kountzo owns tho land and he
Is now east, bis return being set for De
cember 1. Mr. Mount wishes to get n favor
able pronosltlon of some naturo from Mr.
Kountze before ho exhorts action by the
city council, and has received encouragement
ami a request that the matter be delayed
till December 1 If possible.
That explains why Mr. Hascall's ordi
nance for tho Jorkson street slto was again
kept back at laet night's meeting of tht
council. At tho committee meeting of al
dermen a week ago Monday It was not
brought up bocauso of tho request of Mr.
Klmman, who was absent. Monday Mr.
7.lmman was there, but Mr. Hascall was
not, so no ono proposed his ordinance.
Mr. Mount has urged Mr. Ilasc?!! to de
lay tho matter till the return of Mr.
Kountze, nnd tho developments thus far
would make it appear that this will bo
ilonc. Ever since tho market proposition
became ono of real consideration Mr. Mount
has had his eye nnd mind on tho Nine
teenth street site, but has kept It quiet
till now In tho hope that no action of any
kind would occur for a time. Mr. Hascall's
ordinance, however, looked threatening and
Mr. Mount Is now working openly toward
tho consummation of his pet project.
Opposition o Jni'kson Street.
Thero wns littlo hope, anyway, for tho
Jackson street ordlnanco passing. Mr. 7.1m-
man and Mr. Hoyo are both opposed to It,
in addition to Mount, and unlesH thero was
a strong Bentlment in favor of it Mr. Knrr
and Mr, Whltehorn would not support It
Tho latter says:
I want tho market whero there will bo
plenty of room. Otherwise I do not desire
any change. I know that tho proposed
Jackson street site is not largo enough.
When tho ninrkot Is heavy now it covers
both Jackson and Howard streets from
Tenth to Twelfth streets. We need a very
largo place."

As a result of a sptdal meeting of the
city council yesterday morning that body
spent the afternoon vi.-itlng in the section
of Omaha bounded by Farnam and Howard
and Eighth and Tenth streets. After
nosing about among the frogs, tracks, cross
ings nnd other railroad paraphernalia ami
equipment In that vicinity the aldermen
returned to the con n. II chamber and en
deavored to determine whether the Chicago.
St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha road Is do
ing the right thing and whether the
Hurllngton it trying to exercise monarch
ical privileges of legislation over that por
tion of tho city.
The present trouble is merely n new
phase of an old quarrel Hurllngton tracks
run east and west along the alleys be
tween Farnam and Harney and Harney and
Howard streets. I'p Eighth street runs a
track of tho Omaha road, built more than a
year ago by virtue of the permission con
veyed lu a concurrent resolution of the
city council. The road laid Its track the
same night the resolution was passed. A
few days later the whole affair was re
scinded, so the Omaha track has not been
used since.
Meanwhile the Hurllngton has wished to
put In crossings ovr the Omaha track and
by an order of Judge Munger of the federal
court last Saturday permission was grnntcd
to put in a crossing at each intersection.
Today the Omaha road started the work,
but the Hurllngton says that In addition to
putting in the crossings it Is surfacing Its
track clear up to Farnam street, with the
intention of establishing it.
Hurllngton ofilclals discovered this al
leged operation this morning about 10
o'clock. They at once reported It to Mayor
Moores and asked for Immediate action.
The mayor sent Chief Donahue down to
stop the work and called a special meeting
of tho council for 12 o'clock. At that time
this resolution was presented:
Uesolved. That the mayor, chairman of
the Hoard or Public Woiks and city attor

No action was taken on the resolution. It
being agreed that the council should go
down In person nnd Investigate tho state
of affairs. Mr. Kelby of tho Hurllngton was
anxious to. have the business rushed
through, ami this aroused the suspicions of
some touncllmer.. Hoth Trostler and Hove
demanded no action until Wednesday nt
least.
Mr. Sheean says that the Hurllngton
claims the power to rule the district In-
right of conquest. Mr. Kelby retorts that
It Is by right of benevolent atslmlintlon.
Tho Hurllngton now owns all the land on

Yesterday morning Judge Smith McPhcr-
son filed in the office of the I'nltcd Slates j
circuit court clerk nn opinion In the case of
Paul J. Soig against the hotel association.;
J. E. Markcl and P. L Mnrkel. a suit to
foreclose a landlord's lien on tho Millard
hotel nnd fixtures for rent due the plaintiff. 1
The court finds generally for the plaintiff. !
ordering the building sold to satisfy tho
claim which was the basis of the suit, but
at tho same time it makes some orders
which may result lu an appeal by the
plaintiff.
The opinion opens with a brief review of
the history of the transactions between tho
parties to the suit, tolling how tn lS'.'d the
land on which the Millard hotel stands was
sold to Mr. Sorg and at thr nmo time a
lease was entered Into between the hotel
association nnd tho landlord, by the terms
of which the association was to pay an an
nual rental of $12,000 per year, giving as
security for payment a mortgage on tho
hotel building nnd fixtures. It briefly re- I
cites the lease by the hotel association to '
the firm of Shears, Swobe & Markcl and
Its subsequent transfer through Thomas
Swobe, who defaulted In the payment of
tent, to J. K. Markcl & Son. who held th
lease nl the time the suit was started. At
the tlmo the suit wns Instituted thoto wns
due tho plaintiff $20,000. evidenced by a note
for that nmount signed by tho hotel asso
ciation and Markol &. Son. together with the
rent from the time tho note was given until
the suit was started, amounting at this time
to about $35,000.
In his complaint Mr. Sorg attempted to
have a lien declared on tho furniture In the
house to secure the payment of the note
signed by tho firm. Tin; Judge finds that
the firm name was signed as endorser and
that the resources of the principal, the ho
tel association, must be exhausted before
the plaintiff can recover from the sureties.
Wlm t the Court Orders.
The opinion then goes on to the decrees,
as follows;
First Judgment ngnlnst the hotel asso
ciation for the rents due and unpaid, esti
mated nt $33,000.
Second Foreclosure of the mortgage pro
visions of the lease.
Third Sale of tho building and all fix
tures, but not of nny of the furnlturo or
the personal effects of cither tho hotel as
sociation or tho Markets.
Fourth An upset price at which tho sale
shall bo made is fixed at $r.0.000.
Fifth Tho purchaser at the salo will
take tho property bought subject to the
lease nnd burdens thereby created.

to tho complainant by the dcorep will next
