A WORTHY FIKEMAN. |
A special meeting of the Pioneer

at Firemen's Hall , at 2 o'clock , p. m. ,

surprised Jim O'Brien , the well

handsome overcoat , made by Frank

A Short Honeymoon Which
Went Down in Darkness.
There are some carious cases occa <
eionally unearthed in our courts , and
those given below make a good pair ,
one being a wedding , and the other
a prayer for separation.
THE AYEbbiNO.
One morninc last week a man and
woman entered the county court
room , where Judge Bartholomew and
his assistant Mai Bergman , were f
busily engaged on the ciaes in hand ,
and sat down without saying anything
except by way of good morning. As
may be conjectured , ( he natural sop-
position in anch a case ia that the par
ties want to be married , so at length
Mr Bergmann asked what was want
ed. The man replied by vouchsafing
the information that he was "not a
Christian. " While this did not "pir
alyze" the officials , it put them on the ]
< /u / ri'rc , and they fero on the lookout
for the ! sequel. The inquiries of the
assistant : elicited the fact that the
mac could n it ppeak English , but
epoko broken German , and the woman
mar could not speak German , but
spoke English. They wanted to get
married , but the man was a Moham-1
mcdan in religion , aad was uncertain
aa to whether ho was thereby
aaby
by rendered ineligible. HU
nanio : was Schtmmel Phcnnig , and
the woman's name was Mrs. Elisabeth
Mayle , both beir.g residents of Florence
one * precinct. Mra. Mayle had ex
perienced the pleasures of union with
a Christian and was now desirous of
testing the hymeneal happiness to be
experienced with a "true believer. "
, ,
Phennig , o&course could not "swear , '
so ho was allowed to affirm , though
had the judge been a diligent oriental
student ho could have known that the
. . .
oath of the true believer is "on the |
heatS acd on the eye. "
Schimmel volunteered the informaN
tiou that when he said yes he meant I
and that a Mohammedan's word was | [
.is good as his oath , so the prelimin
ary papers were duly fixed up , by his
affirming , which he did without
raising his hand. The ceremony then
proceeded , , the judge propounding
the usual questions in English , which
"wcr translated to the groom in Ger
man , by Mr. Bergman and readily un
derstood by the bride. Having
been duly made mai and wife "by
virtue ; of the authority in mo vested , "
they ] departed as happy as though a
mar of God had performed the cere
mony.
THE DIVORCE. j
. . . . . , . .
A . petition . of . . . . divorce . . vas . yeaI „
erdey morning filed with Clerkliams ,
which was of a rather musical charac
tor. As both parties are residents ,
and the sheriff has not yet got service ,
vo . suppress the names by request.
The husband , who is the plaintiff ,
utates that ho traa married in Omaha
May 12,1880 , and that he was always
kind and loving husband , etc He
HAys , however , that his wife , tbe defendant -
fondant , is guilty of cruel and inhu
man treatment. That shortly after
ihoir marringa she began to abuse him ,
and brought to their home her two
unmarried sisters , whom che influenc a
ed to remain in plaintiffs family with-
cut paying board , though they wore
tbundantly able to do so , and that
they ; were kept there for the purpose
exciting and -worrying the plaintiff ,
trhom she uorauaded them to abuse
by- "harsh words and reprimands , " and
that : ho them
kept for this purpose
until July 0,1880.
Darin ? this trial , less thanjtwo
months after marriage , the defendant
sold and a siiued ; her interest in cer *
tain real estate tn one oi tbe sisters ,
which the plaint-ff declares was done
for the of " "
purpose "exciting" himand ia
compelling him to p y rant for the
home which his wife was entitled to
occupy free of charge.
Ho further avers that right after
marriage she refused plaintiff the To
comforts and pleasures which belong
a ; husband , and forbade that inti
macy < which la usual to tie marriage
state. With a few exceptions this
conduct ws kept up until July Gth ,
the defendant refusing oren to occupy no
same room with her hus
bind and upon that date tbo plain wit
alleges that hia wife aban
doned . him and has ever since refused
return. I ,
He invoked the aid of his pastor ,
cen
to no purpose , as she absolutely
was
refused to return , and from what the
are
plaintiffs knows of her he is led to be
lieve that she never will return or be 1

LINCOLN , JaHUary 16. The meetIng -
Ing of the Douglas delegation to con
sider the revision of the Omaha city
charter was decidedly Instructive and
interesting. The entire delegation
was present with the exception of
Bartlett and kyner.
Gen. Mandersou represented the
city council. Senator Doano was
elected chairman.
Gen. Manderson presented the first
proposition to amend the charter as
mad by the city council of Omaha.
It read ; :
ItrE
Each member of the council shall
enter < into a bond , with one cr more
sureties , in the sum of two thousand
dcllars , to be approved by the mayor.
Gon. Mandorson cited house roll ,
No. 7of the last session : "Eich member
her of the council shall be required
to enter into a bond for the faithful
discharge of his duty. "
Mr. : Myers thought thit two thou
sand dollars was enough to insure the
decorum of the members , and then
referred to the pugilistic tendencies
of certain members oi tbo council.
General Manderson suggested that
there were other obligations devolv
ing upon members than that of de
corum. He thought that bonds and
property ] qualification were more sub
stantial. It was intended to prevent
couocilmen from voting money to any
one over and above the limit of any
fum
fumM
Mr. Doane thought it would prevent
scalawags from gaining a seat in the
council.
COUlW . Broatch swv no objection to
making the bond § 1,000.
Mr. Doano thought that the law re
quired each member to own and pay
taxes on $2,000 worth of property.
Mr. Mullen was in favor "f the
2,000 bond , but wanted the property
qualification left as it now is , He
thought poor mon were as well quali
fied and able to hold a seat in the
council as were mon of wealth.
Mr. Broatch moved the adoption of
the amendment as proposed , and add
ed : "I am willing for one to makeany
incisuro agreed on here as binding ,
and will agree with the majority in its
reasonable conclusions "
Mr. Mullen would do the same.
Mr. , Doano thought , the caucus had
met for the purpose of agreeing on
the amendments , in some way , so
that no division would arise in the leg
islalT to defeat the object.
The chair then put the question , to
adopt ] the pronosad amendments. Car
rled
ried.Second
Second Section 22 shall bo amend
ed to read as follows :
The inpyor and city council are
hereby authorized and empowered to
issue bonds of the city , with interest
coupons ] annexed thereunto , in such
amounts and for such length of time §
83 they may deem proper , the rate of
Interest not to exceed 6 per centum
per annum , for the construction and
maintenance of sewers and other pub <
lie improvements in said city , or it :
renewal of outstanding bonds on saill
city. All such bond * Shall express
upon their face the purposes
for which they are Issued ;
provided the bonded indebtedness
of eaid city shall not at any time ex
ceed < in the agi > rciato 15 per centum

ble property in aaid city ; provided
further ) , no bonds shall be issued , except
cepl such renewed bonds In excess of of
8100,000 in any one year , nor until
the legal electors of said city shall
have authorized the same by a vote of
two-thirds of all the electors voting at
general < or special election precinct ,
district , or ward of said city , stating in
specifically < the amount of the pur
poses for which tlioy are to be issued ,
which bonds , or the proceeds from the
R.l'lC thereof , shall not be diverted from
the purpose for which they were is
8116' ' .
8116'I response to Informal questions
Mr. MandeHon said that the city's
bonded indebtedness , inqludinp ; the
liissl school bonds , wan about S3GO-
000 ; and the County bonded indebted
ness , list including cou t house bonds ,
was $450,000. Further bonded in
debtedness was utterly impossible. It
now as great us it can bo except
ing a very few ( two or three ) thousand
dollars. He had simply to say that
sewers could not be put in unless
bonds were issued for that purpose.
eewer Noith Omaha creek must the
necessarily cost a great deal ot money , thj
but it is a matter for the benefit of
the "future Omaha , " and the main al
bnrdcu should fall on the future pop
ulation. If the limit is left as it is
further bonded indebtedness is
possible , except that which accrues the
with ! the assessed valuation.
Senator Howe wanted extreme caution say
tlor in making the limitation. We
were already paying taxes of 5 | per on
cent , on the dollar , which of itself
a very itartling thing. While wo
paying this five per cent , tax we
have an assessed valuation which will
expand from time to time , so that the
par cent , tax may increase to 45
cent
Mr. : Broatch said there had been a of
question raised in this meeting as to sea
necessity for sewers. Ho" referred

paying too much taxes. He spoke of track
judgments against the sinking rails
. "Our city council are tempted what

There is a principle of right here ,
I am for It. The way to make a

Gen. Manderaon E&d { he was there tion
to represent the action of the council
on these amendments but wished to
make a few suggestions to the dele
gation. He feared they'd get into the
eatne difficulty that they reached in
1878. "If you don't agree , your ac
tion will meet the same fateos did the
house bill IfrOof that year. It seems
to me the advisable tfoarsfl Is this :
Take the amendments proposed b tha
city and let the majority decide what
the decision ohall be. Then let the
Offiaha papers pickup tbe matter , Meet
again sntf faake what changes you
think are demanded by the people. '
Mr. McShane thought that If two >
thira5 of the people are in favor of
severs they certsinly orfght to have a
show. He was in favor of sewers , but
was not in favor of 15 per cent open
assessment. Ho wanted the rate made
high enough to cover the sewers.
Mr. Broatch thought "in view of
the ratio of increase our rate of as
sessment should ba increased. The
a seasmantof sewerage" Norih Oma
ha ia about § 100,000.
Mr. McShane said tbe death record 4
of our city was 33 per cent greater
'
than that of C'hicgd.
Air. Howe wanted the opinions of
our citizens as to whether sorters
were wanted. "If our good , strong
business men would get together and
diseues the question , we would know
what to do. "
Gen. Blanderson "Have they not
delegated that power to you. "
Mr. Doanesaid our citizens proposed
that the amendments would be held
for discussion.
Mf. AlcShan i thought there was an
expression of the people In electing
men that would guard against unroa
sonab'e expenditure.
Air. Broatch asked : "If you were
about to present a bill in the legisla
ture would you take It home to ba
diacuesed by yonr constituents ? '
Air. Howe Wanted a general invit -
tie i given the people of Omaha to
discuss ( ha matter.
Air. Aloyera asked : "Does 'he
board of trade concur In this mattoi ? "
Air. Broatch thought it did. He
had gone about agitating the question
among business men and thought the
majority of tax piyors : to be in favor
of sewer bonds.
Mr. Howe said : "lam willing to
waive my opposition tf 1 can bo con
vinced that the people are in favor of
the issuing of bonds. "
Air. AlcShano had not found a man
not in favor of b nds.

the council , but for sewer bonds.
Mr. Broatch moved to strike out the
words "and other public improve
ments" from the amendment , which
was carried.
Mr. Howe did not vote.
Air. Broatch moved that 10 per
cent bo made the limit of the levy on
the assessed valuation , instead of 15
par cent. Carried.
Mr. Howe moved that no tends
under the proposed act can bo issued
until the legal electors of said city
Shall have voted in favor of them by a
threo-fourtha majority , instead oi a
two-thirds vote. Carried.
Third That the salary of the mayor
be increased not to exceed the sum of
1,200 per annum.
Mr. Howa moved that the offices of
police judge and mayor be consoli
dated.
Mr. Broatch thought that to ( ion-
s&lidate the two offices would make
too much work for one man.
Air. Doano thought the two offices
would conflict. "I think you will find
that you would have a very indifferent
J
police judge and a very indifferent
mayor. "
Gen. Mandereon thought there was
great deal of work connected with
the office of mayor. He was the au >
ditor of the city. The mere burden
signing his name was no smell
thing. "No man who has not seen
the amount of work has any idea of J.
the extent of the work ho has to do.
Every officer runs to him , and every
destitute man and woman runs to him
the hope of obtaining aid. I do
not like the idea of consolidating the
officco. There is not harmony In the
mayor as an executive officer and aa a
magistrate. "
Air. Broatch moved that the may
or's ealary bo increased to 81,200 per
year. Carried ,
illE StN&iNO f OND.
That the sinking fund shall not ex
ceed 15 mills , and be used only for
the payment of the Interest and the
principal of our bonded indebtedness , F
when due , for judgment against the
city , for damages to persons and prop
erty , or in other words no judg
ments obtained against the city fdr
work performed by order of the city
council in cxcean of the amount of the E
appropriation , should bo taken out of St.
sinking fund. The law making Or
city council individually liable and
should bo enforced. That the gener
fund should bo increased to fan I
amount nececunry to meet the require1 1 - * -
meets of the city's wants , sjy 15 mills.
Thare should bj a separate fund for
fire department and to meet the
obligations Incurred for watersupply ,
about 5 mills. ham
Considerable discussion wad made any
the above propositions which we days
have not space to print. T
Air. Ho wo moved that the words "lo JJ
persons and property" bo stricken out. to
Carried.
Air. Broatch moved that amount of
otry ba limited to ten mills. JL
The motion to make a separate fund
five mills for fire and water purpo' '
was carried.
Mr. AIuHen thought that In view of
water wurka , the expsnso of the C.
dcoartmeut would be materially
reduced.
Mr. AlcShano did not agree with
. He thought that all the engines
aid be thrown out into the suburbs ,
where the hydrants were few and far
between , and that the expense would
bo dccrcaaed to speak of. Tharo
[ costly buildings in the sub
which should have protection.
STUEET RAILWAYS.
That street railway companies shall
required to keep that portion of
street between their rails in good
repair , using for eaid purpoee the same
material as the street upon which the
or tracks are used. That the
tued in said railways shall ba
are known as flat or strap rails ,
not T rails , and that municipal
authorities shall have the right to
compel corporations using the streets
keep the same in repair , and hold
corporations responsible for all
maRea by rei.son of neglect to keep
streets in repair ot obstructing
eamo.
Mr. Howe moved that the section
requiring the track between the rails
kept in good repair by the stoot car
companies be adopted. Carried.
Mr. Muller moved that Mr. Marsh ,
president of the company , who was
present , ba allowed to make a state
before the delegation. Adopted. or
Air. Marsh eaid that all the earn without
of the road had been used in im Sold
proving it. He took the road with
cars oud thirly-eight horses , and
one street crossing. He now had
seventy-five horses and double the
number of car. . In keeping the

would cost him § 6,000 a mile to
his track , aud if the delega- -
compelled him to do BO by their
action it would force him Into litiga
tion.
tion.Mr. . Howe , with a twinkle in hia
eye , asked Mr. Marsh if he had given
the gentlemen free passes over his
road. [ Laughter. ]
Mr. Marsh said that having had to
contend with so much litigation prevented -
vented many contemplated improve
ments. Ho had been figuring the
past two months on strap iron for
another tract on larnliam street , and
It had been his intention to lay all
new trick with * ash iron. Ho know
that his track wu id bet' * : condition
than that of any town1 tw' " ' * "

Mr. Howe moved "that it be _
sense of this delegation that legisla-
be h d requiring this company to pay
cost of" paring the streets between the
tracks. " Carrltd.
Mr. Howe moved further * hit : nil
street railways hereafter to bo con

amendment ; "By compelling t a
street railways to lay flit rails in the
business part of the city.
Mrw Jackson offerott the following
amendment to the amendment :
"That whenever any street , is grad
ed the strrtp rail shall bo laid. "
Mr , Paxtdfl moved that further
