met with n narrow etcape firm co i jilete
demolition. As it ran down the Dth street
grade the switchman failed to give any sig
nal and a switch-engine coming along at
that moment a collision became imminent.
The driver , however , with great presence
of mind , threw the car from the track by
means of the switch bar carried on the cars.
The car wheeled to the right and drew np
short alongside the locomotive just in the
nick of time to save a smash up.

A MONEY MUDDLE.
The County Commissioners
Reconsider the Award of
Court House Bonds ,
And Give Them to the Omaha
National Bank.
It will be remembered by our read
ers that when , a few weeks ago , our
county commissioners advertised for
bids for the $125,000 , sir per cent. ,
court house bonds , it was announced
that they had been awarded to Mr.
H. T. Clark , of Bellevue. It appears
that there was some irregularity about
the award , and that upon beinc sub
mitted to the county attorney he de
cided that the contract with Mr.
Clark was not a leaal one , and that the
question would have to be reconsid
ered.
ered.As
As uear as we can remember Mr.
Clarlc was the highest bidder for the
bnds , offering SL03 § for each one
dollar of the aame , but with the un
derstanding that they were all to bo
delivered January 1st. This was not
exactly in accordance with the design
of the county commissioners , trim
had expected to deliver $25,000
worth of the bonds January l t , 1881 ,
$50,000 worth July 1st , 1881 ,
and $50,000 worth January 1st. 1882.
As will be seen this would cost them
the bank interest on $50,000 for six
months and on an equal sum for
twelve months. Mr. Clark thereupon
offered to take the bonds and allow
them not only the stated premium ,
but the bank interest as well ,
which would have been better by some
two or three thousand dollars , than
any other offer , but as bis second
proposition did not come within the
time defined by the advertisement for
bids ha was ruled out.
It does nol appear that any blame
is to be attached to the county corn-
commissioners , nor that the county
attorney's opinion was incorrect , but
it docs appear that for the sake of ad
hering to a few red tape regulations
the citizens and taxpayers of Dcu las
county are to be the losers by a con
siderable sum. We understand that
their is a strong possibility that Mr.
Clark will object to the revised action
of the board , as his proposition was
maue in good faith and perhaps an in
junction may bo the means yet of set
tling the difficulty until the difference
can bo made less and the best bidder
get the bonds. The following are the
proceedings of the county commis
sioners held on Monday Isst :
MONDAY , December 27,1880 ,
Board met pursuant to adjournment.
Present Commissioners Corliss ,
Knight and DrexeL
Minutes of last meeting were read
and approved.
A claim was filed by J. B. Whittier ,
amounting to § 350.69 for money paid
at tax sile for ci nw. % and w part nw.
| , sec. 5. T. 10ll. 11 E. , and on mo
tion , the same was referred to J. C
Cowin , attorney for the county , for
his opinion as to the county's liabili
ty on the Eamo.
The following is the opinion of J. C.
Cowin , endorsed on said claim :
"The tax being imposed on laud
wherein the government never parted
with the title , and the land waa not
subject to taxation , the county is no !
liable ot the cliim.
J. 0. COWIN , Atty for County. "
Dec. 27th , 1880.
J. B. Whittier appeared before the
board and a&ked permission to wi < h-
draw the above claim , and or. motion ,
said permission was granted and the
claim withdrawn by said Whittier.
The board took under advisement
the matter of the sale of court house
bonds , and after du consideration it
determined that the proposition of
Ezra Millard is the best and h.gh-tt
bid for thobonda , and his proposition
was accepted as follows :
Twenty-five thousand dollars of the
bonds to be delivered on or before
January 1 , 1881 , to be paid on deliv
ery at $1 01 J for each dollar , being
$23,281 25 , said bonds to bear inter-
Lest from January 1 , 1831.
Fifty thousand dollars of said bonds
to bo ddivvnsd on or before July 1 ,
A. D. 1881 , to bo paid on delivery as
follows : $1.01 J for each doll r , beiug
$50,502 50 , tMJd bonds to bear inter
est from July 1 , 1881.
Fifty thousand dollars of eaid bonds
to be delivered on or befora Jan. 1st ,
1832 , to be pud on delivery nt Sl.OOg
pur each dollar , being $50,437. SO.f'Aia
bonds to bear intercs : from Jan. 1st ,
1882.
1882.Provided
Provided , That said Ezra Millard
shall , before the delivery of s d
bonds , enter into bond to said Doug
las cohnty with good and sufficient
sureties in the sum of $25,000 , paya
ble lo said county , conditional that
Slid Ezra Millard shall fully and faUh-
fully execute said proposition and
contract , and take said bonds and pay
the money therefor , according to the
terms of the foregoing proposition.

CONTEMPLATED GHMQE ,
A Rumored Successor of
Supt. J. T. Clark.
Railway Miscellany.
- With the beginning of tha new year
there are always moro or less changes
of importance on the railroads , and
the following , predicted by The Kan <
E&B City Times of December 28th , is of
couciderable local importance :
"RUMORS TROM OMAHA.
"News comes from Omaha that sev
eral changes are to occur in the oper
ating department of the Union Pa
cific railway on January 1st. It is
said that J. T. Clark , for a long time
assistant to General Manager Clark ,
will step down and out , aud that Mr.
Nichols , now superintendent oi the
eastern division , will be his successor.
It is not known f a certainty that
these changes are to take place at
once , but the news is from a reliable
source. "
OMINOUS PREDICTION.
The Sionx City Journal says :
"Railroads in this section are likely
to be very short of coal for the next
ten days. Heretofore they have enl >
had barely enough coal to fikin along
with from day to day , and .it limes
Ind to help out the supjly by burning
wood aud corn. All coal miners in
good and regular standing , go on a
drt'uk just before Christmas , which
drunk does not end until after New
New Year's. Cousequ > ntJy , coal is
likely to boEcirco for awhile. "
"The St. Paul folka now use two
awitch en-jinea in their yards in this
city and one on the Nebraska sidu , to
transfer cars and make up trains. The
road has all the buainero it can handle
these coal famine times. "
GREAT AGITATION.
The weiteru prtion of Neraaha
county ia grcitly agitated over the
question of route by the B. & M.
trom Ptpervilla to T ; cnmseh. It
may go by the "old grado" of the al
most forgotten Browuville , Ft. Hear
ney and Pacific , via Johnson , or it
may tun ( our miles south , via Febing
a point better known as Stone
Church. It is believed by some of
the Johnson peuple that it will come
by them , so as to make it convenient ,
at any time the company wishes , to
put in a tup to Nebraska City.
FAILED TO MAKK II
Some time ago a circular wai issued
by the general freight agent of the
new Si-urhern Pacific route , stating
fine tht : r rund would be opened
through by January 1st , and request
ing at least n po.tion of the throuch
freight business for the Pacific coast.
It appears now that the time was fixed
at too early a date as an official circu
lar has been received in the city ,
issued by the general pas
senger aient ; of the South
era Pacific , stating that the
that road has been completed to Dem-
ing , 230 miles east of Tucson , the dis
Unco from Deming to the present con
struction terminus of the Afchison ,
Topeka & Santa Fo road being 14G
miles. The rails atu being laid on tbo
Santi Fe extension to a place 57
miles beyond San Mntech.il , the
terminal point not yet having been
named as a station. The gap between
the two roads is 145 miles by stage.
At the very rapid ratoof construction
of about a mile a day , from each end ,
it will take about three months before
the now southern route is completed
and ready for business.

The Mission Benefit.
The Baptist church was well filled
Tuesday eveningon the occasion ofjtho
bcn7fit concert for the Tenth Street
Mission Sabbath school. The JJTO-
gramme was an excellent one and was
carried cut from first to last in pleas
ing style , under the leadership of Mr.
G. W. Ttbbals , and the assistance
of Mrs. Carrie Van Kuran , who
presided at the organ. A candy cane
wis presented to Mr. Warren Switz-
lar , the superintendent , by W. C. B.
Allen , Esq. In closing the concert ,
Superintendent Switzlor gave a brief
summary of the work of the Mission.
It has increased ita numbers till the
present quarters are too small. The
parents are tiking great interest and
rooms for bible classes are wanted.
The concert laat evening was given to
raise money to aid in procuring larger
quarters , and we regret that the at
tendance was not larger. The con
cert will be rc-psated at aa early day ,
probably at the Academy of Music
