OOMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON ,
The Men who Wear the Cloth
Make Themselves
Ridiculous.
They Congratulate Mayor Boyd
Upon Hie "Enforcement"
ot the Law.
The Mayor's Itockless Disregard of
Decency nncl Duty.
A call was Iwuod on Tuesday oven-
ng over the signature of Rev. E. F.
Shorill , as president of the Umnha
ministerial nasoctation , for a meeting
if the ministers and auch other per *
sons M desired the enforcement of law
nnd order in this city. In response
0 this call a meeting took place nt the
first M. E. church on yodnosday at
1 o'clock n. in. A majority of the
clergymen of the city nnd n small
number of citizens were present. The
act that no report was made of the
iiilcornoof thiamcuting by Tin : BEE is
mocringly referred to by The Ilorald
and Republican asan evidence that
ho editor of TUB HER. who wn * prcs-
int , wim unsuccessful in his effort to
tnrt n movement for n remonstrance
tgainsttho liconsingof notoriously dis-
irdorly houses. The inference is party -
y correct. The editor of TUB BEK
id not think the procoodinga worthy
f report , because , in his opinion ,
hey wore discreditable and absurd.
After four hours' palaver the meat-
ng had wound up in adopting the fol >
owing resolutions as the sense of the
> ody :
Ilcsolvod , That wo hereby congrat-
ilato our mayor on his efforts to BUS-
ain the Slooumb law , and wo also
arnostly request that no licenses be
ssuod to disorderly houses nor to
ny whoso npplicatio > isaro ] not strictly
according to the law , and that the
lumber of licenses issued bo reduced
o the least posMblo number.
The advocates of those resolutions'
otably Gen. Estabrook , appeared to
esiro to mollify the mayor nnd wore
onOJont that ho would carry
ut their petition by exorcising
tie discretion which the law
Hews him by refusing to grant licenses
D low dons. They were warned by
10 minority that congratulating the
mayor on his effort to enforce the
locumb bill would bo taken as an
ndorsomont of his conduct in con-
oction with enforcing the existing
awa and ordinances against disroput-
blo resorts.
And BO it turns out. Within two
ours af tor this mooting hod adjourned
Mayor lioyd told the editor
f THE BEK in the presence
f other parties that ho would
rant n license to every applicant who
ilod the satisfactory bond and paid
ho money. In defense of his posi-
ion ho claimed that wo were doing
well enough to close up n largo num-
> or of saloons nnd we had out remedy to
lose the worst ones of thosonow taking
iconso , next April. Ho admitted that
ho letter of the law which Bays that
ho board may grant n license was op-
.ional , but said that General Man-
d croon ruled that the board would have
.o issue a license under Hie ordinance.
Hay or Boyd also stated that ho , as one
> f the board , would vote to grant a
icenso to Troitsohko notwithstanding
ho protest of the coroner's jury , bo-
CAUBO TrulUvhko'a won not the worst
ilaco , and' others were open on Sun-
lay , or Christmas morning. Hero ,
then , the credulous gentlemen who
wear white chokers have the prool
that they have made themselves ridi
culous in congratulating the mayor on
enforcing the laws , and they will see
itill further , as wo procoo'd , that they
have disgraced their churches by their
action.
It is outrageous enough that the
mayor of this city , who has for months
recklessly disregarded his duty it
failing to onfofco law nnd order by
the nolioo in closing up disorder ! ]
houses , should refuse to exorcise the
power vested in him by the law , aa
the best lawyers nnd judges in this
state h vo interpreted it. The law
aays the applicants for license
must bo men of knout
respectability , and whenever
the board know the applicant to koo ]
a disorderly house they nra nt libnrt ;
to" reject the application and refuse i
license.
Now , if Mayor Boyd was disposoc
to do his duty in this instance as ho
should , ho could Ascertain nt an ;
time through the police nnd police
court , who uro the Honor dealers whc
keep prostitutes and allow gamblin ;
on' their premises. If the marsha
and police can't give this informatioi
they had better bo dismissed.
Up to fyostorday wo had suppose *
that the mayor was simply shirkin
his responsibility in this matter nn <
wanted to shift it upon citizens b ;
forcing them to file remonstrances
Even that charitable conclusion is t
delusion. A remonstrance against the
licensing of the notorious Dick Currj
was started by some of the people livin
in the neighborhood of that disorderly
orly resort. It was signed by quite
number of persons , men and women
before it was brought to this office
Hero several signatures of citizens n
taxpayers were added. Among then
was that of 0. E. Mnyno , who roporti
the following incident : Ho happono
to pass Mayor Boyd on the streo
about noon , and was accosted by tha
gentleman aa follows :
" 0. E. Mayne ? "
"Sir. "
"You sinned that petition agains
granting a license to Gurry ? "
" "
"Well , you must be on hand at i
o'clock to-day prepared to prove wha
you charge. "
"Did you toll the man that pra
sontod the petition ? "
"Yes ; the persons who sign the petition
tition must bo ready to prove what ii
charged or the petition will amount t
nothing. ' *
Deeming this a rather uncalled fo
proceeding on the part of the mayor
the editor of TUB DKK pononull )
niado n cull upon Mr. O'Connor , th
person who liled the remonstrance t
ascertain what ho know about th
matter. Mr. O'Connor keejw u respectable
spoctablo boarding house adjoining
the Curry don on 10th street. II
stated that when ho presented th
remonstrance the mayor told hln
that ho and all others , men and women
wholiad ignodtheremonitrancewoul (
would hnvo to Appear before the
mayor next Tuesday to prove their
charges. Mrs. O'Connor said that she
tad boon insulted nnd abused by the
: olorcd roughs who congrrif.Uo around
Hurry's place time nnd nt > uin nnd her
children were being depinvedby the
constant hearing of blasphemy and in *
decency from that quarter. Then
said she : "Wo own this place nnd
what nro wo to do ? I don't wnnt to
jo to the police court , nnd other ro-
ipoctnblo people in this neighborhood
wouldn't. " "And you shall not
mil need not , " said the cdi-
or of THE BEE , "for wo propose
see whether respectable women
Bhall bo oblieed to go before the
mayor to prove that Dick Curry keeps
a disorderly homo. "
The idea that the mayor of Omaha
who is to bo the conservator of pcoco ,
would interpose obstacles to evcnn re
monstrance to insure decency 1 And
what right had the mayor , to fix the
lay on Tuesday , or any other day ?
Jo is only one member of the
) onrd , and unless ho carries the
ward in his pocket , nnd knows what
ts action will bo , ho cannot decide
or the board what day it will fix for
\ hearing. And why docs ho appear so
inxious that Curry should have his
iconso next Tuesday when ho has
icon selling without license for
months ? Would it not bo moro ro-
> utnblo to oxcrciso his power of mayor
n behalf of good order , even
f that power was slightly strained ,
'
'n this matter , however , the may6r
s not entirely to blame , but City At-
ornoy Mandorjon has from the bo-
inning and throughout been largely
csponsibla by giving advice in the di-
oction the mayor is taking , and that
oo , when the laws arc emphatically
lie other way.

WANTED HER CHILD.
Fifteen Year Old Mother and a
Fatherless Baby.
A diminutive specimen of girlhood ,
udging by years or of womanhood
udging by maternal right to the title ,
was seated on a bench in the police
ourt room yesterday when a BEE
oportor entered. She was in courier
or the purpose of recovering posses-
ion of her babe four months old the
Hh of next month , she said.
The youthful mother stated that
ho was fifteen years of ngo , though
he don't look it , and that her name
was Carrie Jackson. She is the
laughter of respectable colored people
> f this city , and was by thorn sent
> omo eight months ago to live with a
blrs. Search , n colored woman in
Shinn's addition. By whomthogirl's
ruin was previously accomplished she
lid not say , but says she worked for
ilrs. S. while with her and WM taken
care of during confinement. She gave
is a reason for leaving the woman's
louse that she boat her all the time
and added that the woman had n child
if her own which HIO had beaten un
til it had scarcely any sense. Yester
day morning the girl left the house
md says the woman refused to letter
tor have either the baby or any of
ler clothing , alleging that her par-
ints owed nor fcr nursing the daugh
ter during her sickness This , however ,
she said her father would pay.
The girl being a minor was unable
; o take any legal , steps in her own
lame and an officer was sent out to
look for some of her friends.

C. P. Blrkott and Others Notified to
Roinovo Street Obstructions.
There has boon considerable kickin §
about the manner in which the streets
of Omaha have boon obstructed byolc
buildings , for some time past. The
worat case was that of the Cass stroe
school house , which the city marsha
was ordered by the council some time
since to remove from its present posi
tion near Jefferson square.
On Tuesday the marshal swore ou
a warrant against several parties am
proceeded to eorvo them. 0. P. Rir
kott was served notice to remove the
old school house from the corner o
Jefferson square. Ho came into cour
and took a stay of thirty days , on the
grounds that owing to the condition o
the streets removal was at present im
possible.
Tom Murray received similar no
tice to remove the old building which
lies along side of that owned by 0. F
Birkitt and also the owner of the olc
house near the Northwestern Now
association buildiug , corner Twolftl
and Howard. This is a stop tha
ought to have boon taken some time
ago and it is to bo hoped that the
street will bo rid of thoj old wreck
that have disgraced it for so long , BIN
have alra boon dangerous firo-boxei
liable to do any amount of damage tc
property surrounding them.
Happy Hearts.
A quiet , but very happy wedding
occurred at the residence of Gcnora
Superintendent J. T , Clark yesterday
day afternoon. Miss Ella Spanglur
a niece of Superintendent Clark , was
married to Edward Thomas , an enter
prising business man of Marno , Iowa
Uov. A , F. Shorrill performed th
ceremony. Only relatives of theJ > rid
and groom were present. Mr. am
Mrs. Thomas took the afternoon train
for Marno , whore a cosy homo await
them. The estimable couple have th
wull-wishcs of a host of friends. Mr
Thomas was an old suitor of Mis
Spanglor'a and at one time was soyeroi
by parental influence , but afterwards
resumed with the happy result an
nounced.
MAUD'S NEW MASH ,
The Little Sensation That the
Third Ward Funiiehea.
A Bilk of a Boarder Gets Away With
Hit Landlord's Wlfo.
A bit of ecftnd.il Is just at present
agitating that portion of the Third
ward around nnd adjacent to the corner
nor of Capitol nvonuo and Eleventh
street * , which contains some amusing
aa well aa serious features , Frank
lecd.ind wife , the latter kuown by
ho characteristic name of Maud , have
> ecn for aomo time keeping a board-
ng hhuso next to the northwest corner
nor of the street above mentioned ,
renting on Capitol avenue. Among
ho boarders , nil of whom are claimed
o be pretty respectable , was a young
man named Nathan Leo , who rejoiced
n the occupation of making bed
prings. Ho was a long time boarder
ixt the establishment , and consequent-
y was very well acquainted with both
Iced and his wife. Rood liked Lee
o well , too , that they were frequently
'out" together , and apparently shared
Mutual confidences. But it appears
rom recent developments that it was
another case of
THE 8EUPENT IN TUB GARDEN ,
5r something very much nfter that
ashion , and Leo carried the part of
lis snakeship out to the best of ad
vantage. Of late the ether boarders
at the house have made frco to re
mark upon an apparent intimacy bo-
weon the landlady ( who is a young
nd quite comely woman ) and the
manufacturer of bed-springs , and they
liege that upon various occasions she
was seen to put her arms lovingly
bout his neck , sit on his lap , and in-
ulgo in ether little pleasantness of a
ike nature , while her "hubby" was
upposod to bo cut of sight and hear-
ng. However this may bo , it is
iretty certain that Lee "stood in1'
olid somewhere , because he con-
inued to board without putting up
anything moro substantial than promi-
es for the same , until ho was in debt
o the house about
TWENTY-FIVE DOLLAIIS
and it was only then that Reed made
a vigorous "kick" and demanded his
money. Leo promised to pay , but
ividently at the same time was con-
emplating a less expensive bit of
inancioring , wheruby ho could jump
ho bill and the house at the same
, imo. That night , Saturday last ,
Jeo's trunk was mysteriously spirited
out of the Reed mansion , and disap-
> eared from the possession of the cn-
aged landlord. Search for Lee on
Sunday proved unavailing , and finally
[ Iced had to content himself with the
reflection thai if he couldn't get any-
; hing out of his boarder , the self
same boarder couldn't get anything
rndro out of him'and therefore ho
put down'the ' $25.00 to the account of
profit and loss , aa that amount had
avidontly gene "where the woodbine
twinoth , " to Council Bluffs , or
some other mythical place.'But there
was another calamity , hanging over
Rood's head of which he. had no con
sciousness , and that was the
XOS.S OF HIS BETTEH ITALY ,
whose heart and clothes Lee had car
ried away in his trunk. On , Monday
Afternoon the gentle Maud kissed her
husband , os'she started up town on
im errand , and promised to got back
in time to prepare supper. Supper
time camp , but no Maud with it , and
Reod'bog'an ' to bo alarmed. When his
wife had gene she had taken an
album , of which the clasp was broken ,
with her to get it repaired. It did
not seem probable thac it would re
quire throe or four hours to fix an
album clasp , and so as the twilight
deepened Reed grow suspicious and
proceeded to look into his wife's
room. Ho then discovered that she
had removed , in some way , most of
the wearable clothing she possessed ,
and had lefc him only two or three
old dresses as souvenirs of her past
affection which was no more. Then ,
of coursd ,
TIIEHE WAS A SCENE.
The unfortunate boarding house
keeper was < thus left with n big house
on his hands , about a dozen
hungry boarders to feed and no one
to wrestle up the hash for them un
less ho put on an apron himself.
Finally , however , an arrangement was
made with a lady boarder to assume
the duties of housekeeper , and every
thing in that respect is moving along
as smoothly as usual. When it was
discovered that Mrs. Rood had vol
untarily left her bed nnd board it was
naturally supposed that she had an
other ono to go to , and then the
stories of peculiar behavior on the
part of the missing boarder nnd departed -
parted landlady became moro rife
than over , and the suspicion became
pretty well grounded that they had
gone off together. Whether this be
true or not , is of course a mattei
for future development as tc
the whereabouts of the bed-spring
artist , and his supposed inammorata.
Reed is understood to deny that hie
wife has left with Leo , and claimi
that she has loft him because of a fusi
they had , and that ho confidently ex.
poets her to return in a few days ,
She ii reported to bo at Red Oak ,
Iowa , from which point ono of the
lady boarders of the house claims t <
have received a letter from her. In
connection with this little sensation ,
ANOTHER AKFAIll
in which Rood was prominently inter
estcd may bo called to mind ,
it occurring a few months ngo ,
Reed was formerly the reputed
huaband of a lady of not doubtful ro
putution , who now resides on Twolftl
street , nnd is known by the name ol
Lou Scott. Reed and this woman
lived together for some time in Iowa ,
and the result of their 'unionwas c
little girl , who is now near Sioux city ,
During this time a young womar
named Maud made Reed's house hoi
headquarters , and after a time Reed
became sufficiently enamored of her tc
put up a job on the "old woman1
as he irreverently termed hii
alleged .wife , and skip out witl :
Maud for parts unknown ,
His wife did not follow
dm , however , nnd nfter a time Ttecd
ilnimcd to hnvo never been married to
lis previous alliance , nnd married the
lowly acquired female partner , who is
none other than thoMrs. Reed who is
now reported to have
PMYED THE ELOI'EMENT OAME
on him , in favor of the" bod-spring
maker. Time passed on and Rood
and wife No. 2 came back to Omaha ,
aking up their quarters in the Gel
den Gate restaurant near the
corner of Dodge and Twelfth
streets. It was not long
after Reed's return before
10 mot his former alleged wife , who
tad assumed the name of Scott , and
hen discovered that ho had made n
mistake , nnd that the old love wns
trongcst fltill. She indulged him in
.he . conceit that everything could bo
arranged as ho desired until she had
obtained possession of two or thrco
nortgngcs on some valuable furnitufo
10 had sold to parties taking the res-
aurant off his hands , nnd then she
juitc deliberately
OAVE HIM THE " UN , "
md told him to help himself. Ho nt-
empted retaliation by securing her
irrest on the charge of obtaining the
mortgages and certain notes under
"also pretenses , and also for selling
> eer without a government license.
But the complaints didn't hold water ,
nd the matter was dropped. It is
claimed , too , that the Scott woman is
> artly responsible for the recent
Icparturo of Mrs. Reed , as Reed
s accused of being still unable to keep
away from his former wife , which fact
ms caused many family jars of con-
iderablo size during the past few
weeks. On the whole , however , it
eems to bo about "tit for tat , " in
which Reed seems to get only a largo
part of the "tat. " Buthostill "holds
he fort" nt the boarding house , set-
ing a good table , and will probably
ese none of his custom becausn of his
> ptter half's departure.

POLLOCK VS. DAVIS.
A Damage Suit in the County Court.
Yesterday the petition of Al-
ixandor L. Pollock vs. Fred H. Davis
was filed in the county court.
After the usual legal introduction
he petition recites that on or about
he 2Cth day of December , 1881 , the
laintiff was in possession of and enti
led to the possession of A brick house
nd premises thereto adjacent , sit
uated on the i north side of Douglas
troot , between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth streets ; that at the time
hcplaintiff , ( Pollock ) was occupying
aid house as n dwelling with his
amily , consisting of a wife and
two young children , that said wife
and children were at the time in deli
cate health ; that on or about said
date , the defendant ( Davis ) , without
ust cause , threatened to remove the
plaintiff from said premises , and m
iiocution of said threat in order ,
'orcibly , and without legal or other
process to eject said plaintiff from
said promises , the defendant did re
move and carry away from the dwelling -
ing house the front doors and windows
dews of said house , thus ex
posing plaintiff's wife and chil
dren to cold , and leaving them
without protection from the rigors of
the winter weather. In consequence
of said cruel and unlawful act of said
defendant , the plaintiff wns obliged to
vacate the premises and thereby , and
through sickness in his said family ,
the plaintiff has incurred great ex
panse and suffered damage in the sum
of $500 , for which plaintiff prays for
judgment with costs.
The complaint is sworn to by the
petitioner before Chas. L. Thomas ,
and is filed by Smythe & Stull , at
torneys for Mr. Pollock.
The plaintiffs attorneys say that
he is bringing the suit with no pur
pose to bleed the defendant , but to
vindicate his position m the matter
which has nlreadry been fully placed
before the public.

Her Brother Was Not Dead.
Mr. Charles Harris , a respected
citizen of Sodalia , Mo. , and known tea
a number of friends in Omaha , called
at THE BEK office on Wednesday. Ho
had received a copy of THE BEE which
contained n notice of the death of
Alfred H. Curtis , on Monday even
g , and loft for this city the follow
ing day.
Mrs. Curtis is Mr. Harris' sister ,
but as she had not heard from him
since July 2d , when ho was hero on a
visit , and had read a notice of the
death of a young man by the same
name , near Sodalia , she supposed him
to be no longer in the land of the liv
ing. Ho in turn believed her to be
yet in Montreal , whither she had gone
for the benefit of her husband's health.
It was & mutual error , and the
widowed sister is in a measure com
forted by discovering that her brother ,
whom she had given up for dead , still
lived , and that she was a little less
lonely in her bereavement.
