H. nnndel In Automobile Accident Kot Enough to Kilt Him. P. R. Rundcl came to his death Monday, April 24, from cancer of the stomach, his end hastened by the results of an auto mobile accident of which he was the vic tim on the evening of April 17. This Is the verdict brought In by the coroner's Jury Monday afternoon. It seemed to be the consensus of opinion among the Jurors, after hearing the testimony of physicians, that the accident caused a loss of vitality, which, preserved, might have deferred death from cancer for a few days longer. Dr. Goeti testified as to the results of a post-mortem examination which he had performed on the body. Ho found a cancer In the stomach and Intestines which would not have allowed many days of life to the man. even If he had not been struck by the machine. He found several hemor rhage of the brain, results of the accident, but none which would have caused death. It was his opinion that death was due to starvation from nonasslmllatlon, for which the cancer was responsible. The accident, he said, might have hastened death a few days. In his Judgment Rundel weighed rftnety pounds, being mere skin and bones. Bourden, the chauffeur, evidently left the city Immediately after the accident, as ha has not been seen since. Ho took the ma chine to Powell's garage and left It stand ing In front without turning off the Are. Nothing was learned at, the Inquest as to whether the man had any relatives.

Only one of those sisters Is now at the hospital, Sis ter Superior Hedwlg.

GILMORE'S COMIC OPERA Woman , Returns from New York , . Reasonably Assured of a Production. Mrs. Annclla Slaughter Gilmore, daugh ter of Captain and Mrs. Bradner D. Slaugh ter of 2022 Wirt street, Is home from New York City, where- she has been studying harmony and other artistic branches. Mrs. Gilmore has been devoting much of her time to writing a musical extravaganza and mythological comedy now called "The Pleiades," but which name Is to be changed for a moro popular one when the pro duction is given. While it canndt now be announced definitely, it Is practically as sured that the work of Mrs. Gilmore will be produced by one of the leading theat rical firms next seaxon. The piece Is writ ten In a prologue and two acts. The pro logue shows a scene In the temple of Olympus, while the first act is of a present-day. scene near New York City. The second act Is placed on the planet Mars. "The Pleiades" was. given January 14 be fore he National Arts club of New York City, and Is said to have been kindly re ceived by the critics. Mrs. Gilmore wrote both words and music. The libretto waa rearranged by Willard Holcomb. This Is Mrs. Glloiore s first work of any preten tion. , MURPHY SUES SOUTH OMAHA Asks that Ills Contract for Paving Street There Be Enforced by Court. Hugh Murphy, paving contractor, has asked the courts to help him out In com pelling Mayor Koutsky and the city coun ell of South Omaha to approve his con tract and bond of 130,000 for paving Mis. sourl avenue from Thirteenth to Twenty- fourth street. He wants 4 mandamus to Issue against these officials on the ground that he properly bid and was properly awarded the work, the latter to be built of Pu'rlngton brick block or other material to meet the specifications." The South Omaha people want the former without any alternatives, and as Mr. Murphy does not happen to be the gentleman who controls the sale of Purington paving brick In Omaha and South Omaha, he is at a dls advantage and would like to substitute, He bid 11.85 a yard for brick and 11.90 for block. The hearing Is set before Judge Sears Friday. In his affidavit he declares the South Omaha officials pretend to find excuse for their action In alleged defects In the proceedings leading up to the paving, making arrangements for the same void. whereas Mr. Murphy says the proceedings were a.11 right and quite flawless.

The county commissioners have decided to piace two internes, Dotn graduate phy slclans, at the county hospital, Instead of one, thus providing a night and day Interne. Rules, modeled after those of the Denver county hospital, have been drawn up and decided upon,, for the selection of the Internes and defining their duties. Both must serve without pay, but their living Is provided for the term of one year. Applicants will be chosen after a com petitive examination to be held this week or next, to be in charge of the medical staff of the hospital and the hospital com mittee. With this change Improved con ditions and superior treatments of patients Is promised. The proper site for the hew fire engine houe In the Fifth ward was debated be fore the city council at the meeting last night by L. E. Lucas, representing the Fifth Ward Improvement club, and Mr. McEachron of McEachron Bros., coal deal- ers at 1924 Lake street. Mr. Luoas con- I tended for a site on the west side of Sher man avenue, between Ohio and Lake streets, and Mr. McEachron wanted the house put near Twentieth and Lake. The council decided to defer action for two weeks. The Fifth warders had a definite proposition, whereas the othpr side did not, the latter being somewhat discon certed by questions put by Councilman O'Brien as to the price of property in the locality and If several figures had not been named on the same lots since the engine house proposition had been broached. Price on Sherman Avenue. For the Sherman avenue site a proposi tion of $35 a front foot was made by the owner, Thomas F. Hall, the lots being 134 feet deep and frontage available up to 1G0 feet As the property is listed up for Scavenger tax sale at more than this price It was stated, that the deal. If made, would result In nothing more than the exchange of a tax receipt tor a deed to the land or so much of It as Is required. Mr. Hall agreed to apply the purchase price on the delinquent taxes. Tho location on Sherman avenue is upon a well paved street," said Mr. Lucas. It is In the midst of a business com munity and in direct line for a straight ehoot down town should the company be required there. It Is easy to get to Kountze place, where the most valuable residence buildings of the diBtrlct are located, and it Is only two and one-half blocks from the approximate location that Fire Chief Salter favors. It is in a place where no one near It will object on the ground that it de teriorates their property to have an en gine house located near It. It in not an easy matter to get to Shcrm i ivenue. where valuable business prope. exists, from Nineteenth and Lake streets. Mr. McEachron said the bond proposition called for the house in the vicinity of Nineteenth and Lake streets and that he did not favor placing the house in the bottoms." Lake street, from Twentieth to Twenty-fourth, Is to be paved, as pe titions are signed for the Improvement, and urged that the location would pro tect more property than on Sherman ave nue. Property could be purchased near Twentieth and Lake streets for about $1,20, he thought, but he was not sure about this and desired time to get figures on available realty. Back After City Engineer. City Engineer Rosewater was the target of a rabid roast by Councilman Back, who Introduced a resolution directing the en gineer to prepare specifications for paving, sewers and other public work immediately and directed the city clerk to notify him to return from Chndron, where he went to advise concerning the enlargement of the water system, at once. The resolu tion, which was adopted by a viva voce vote, sought to place the responsibility for all delayed public work for the' lust two years on the engineer. . Mr. . Rosewater went to Chadron Friday, Saturday being a holiday, Intending to return Monday morn ing, but In the meantime was summoned to appear as an expert witness In an lm portant paving suit at Lincoln. He has been detained there, but Is due In Omaha this morning. New arc lamps were ordered placed at the following locations: Thirty-fourth and Miami, Thirty-fifth and Maple, Thirty. eighth and Ames avenue, Thirty-ninth and Franklin, Fortieth and Grand avenue, Forty-first and Ames avenue. Forty-second and Grand avenue. Twenty-first and Paul, Twenty-second and Nicholas, Thirtieth and Boulevard, Twenty-first and Cuming, Burt and boulevard. Twenty-third and Paul and Twenty-fourth and Charles. An ordinance was Introduced to give the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company the right to lay tracks across Chicago street, between Eleventh and Twelfth and the alley north, in lieu of vacating the street and alley for the entire block, the latter proposition having been killed by the veto of Acting Mayor Zlmman and sustained by the council. Raid on the General Fnnd. A large amount of grading and street repairs In the Seventh ward called for by Councilman Dyball. who has been promising all sorts of things to his constituents, amaxed some of the other councllmen, who have been trying to keep a close rein on the general fund. The resolutions included the sloping of embankments on private property on Leavenworth street, between Thirty-eighth avenue and Thirty-eighth street and on Forty-eighth between Pa clflc and Pierce, and this aroused Council man Back, who said a precedent not to do this had been established long ago and that ordinances forbade It. Assistant City Attorney Herdman said that the new char ter enables the city to compel property owners to slope back dangerous embank ments or stand the cost of doing the work by the city. Nevertheless the resolution went through and with Buck's vote, v The same course was taken with another Dyball resolution, ordering a temporary cinder sidewalk st Forty-eighth and Leavenworth streets. Hoye protested loud and long against this, declaring It against all prece dent and policy, and as being unfair to property owners compelled to take up old walks and put down new ones. lie said the result would be a demand for cinder sidewalks from all over town. Dyball aald the walk was wanted temporarily, but HOye said the same song had been sung before and the cinders placed are still there. glneer to have an eighteen-foot of asphalt put In the middle of the stone block pave ment between the end of the new North Sixteenth street asphalt., and the asphalt on Sherman avenue, the cost to be paid out of the paving Intersection fund. O'Brien said the rebates on gutter guarantees on North Blxteenth street would defray the expense. Something like fW. and that a smooth road would be provided from the city up Sherman avenue for drivers and automobillsts. Nicholson and others pro tested that the Intersection fund Is too low without taking any more money from It. In reply to a question Assistant City Attorney Herdman said that the city could pave any street It pleased with sny ma terial and pay for the Improvement out of the general fund, this being entirely new octrlne to the councllmen. The matter was referred to the committee on paving nd sewerage. EPPERS LINE UP ALL RIGHT ne vea-etable Keeps Warm While the Others Suffer from Cold Weather. The peppers were the only vegetables that kept warm and comfortable yesterday morning on commission row. The cucum bers were somewhat affected with goose- esh. The water cress was fairly com fortable and the ducks would have quite enjoyed It If the produce men had had any In stock. The peppers are a new habit In this city. Whether to lay It to the chile con came or the unusually chilly weather of last winter the Jobbers do not know, but It Is fact that the peppers were sold right through the year as they have never been before. Florida has sent tho lmpsssloned fruit here to meet the unexpected demand. A few boxes of the green vegetable fur naces come In every week or two. Among the sear and yellow leaf class are now to be classed, the old cabbage, the apples and the cranberries. The latter are expected to last through no more than three or four days and the Bell and Bugles, which last fall sold at the proud price of $8 to $9 wholesale, now Is glad to get a situation it U t barrel. Republics are ndoubtedly ungrateful. The old cabbages are not expected to last many days, either, and It is whispered around that the apples cannot hold out more than two or three weeks. The new apples this year are to come first from Texas. May IB Is the date on which they open their summer engage ment here. The strawberries are talking business now that, is, $2.60 a crate wholesale. The berries opened their season at $18 a crate and have been acting like May wheat ever lnce. The Texans are In a class by them selves, but the lost of this week or the first of next week they will begin trouble, for Van Buren, Ark., will open Its spring samples. The pineapples are coming for ward much better. They are also coming down in price. They have tumbled $1 In two weeks and In the next two or three weeks will go down from $1 to $1.60 more. This Is due to the fact that within a few days now the Cuban crop will be in prime hipping order and the demand will have to get busy to keep, up with the supply. The Florida crop escaped the freezo after all and will' be in town at the regular time. O'Brien Vsed to Ride a Wheel. Councilman O'Brien tried to get through l resolution that would authorise the en LOCAL PROBE F0R BEEF TRUST Fifty Sonth Omaha, Buyers Summoned to Appear Before Federal Grand Jury.

The death of Judge Thayer of the United State court of appeals at St. LoulB, thus causing a vacancy on the federal bench In this district, has already started gossip as to who will be named by President Roosevelt to fill the place. The names of Judge Munger of the United States district court at Omaha, C. J. areene and John L. Webster were suggested as possible successors. It has been the president's policy to promote diBtrlct Judges wherever DOBslble, and if Judge Munger IB cnosen it will leave a federal district Judgeship vacant at Omaha. C. J. Greene, who was a prominent can didate for Judge of tho United State court of appeals when Judge Hook was appointed from Leavenworth, Kan., was asked If he contemplated becoming a candidate again, ROY JONES IS DOING WELL M Who Risked Life to Save An other Is Itot Seriously v Injured. Beyond bruised shoulders and a cut In his scalp. In which four stitches were re quired, Roy Jones, the man who saved a falling comrade's head from a pile of brick by interposing his own body, is unhurt. It was at first thought that there might have been a slight fracture of the skull, but Police Surgeon Wigtnn's examination proved otherwise. E. Anderson, the man who fell, is In worse condition today than Jones. There are a number of painful bruises on his head and shoulders.
