UNION AVENUE AND THE II. P ,
JL Few Pointed Remarks by One Who
is Posted ,
Why Isn't ' the U , P , Living Up
to Its Part of the Contract ?
Tlio Scheme By Which the Orcllimnco
WHH Ilnstlly Kun TliroiiKh Jho
Mnnlclpnl Mill Alice's Sting.
To the Kdltor of TUB UEE.
When the old council gave to the
Union Pacific , as a present , Union avenue -
onuo , wh'ch had already cost Una city
between § 7,000 and $8,000 , the ordin-
nnco expressly specified that the com
pany should run Its trains between
Broadway and Omaha every half hour.
That'.they would do this , and meet all
other requirements of the contract , the
Nonpareil , the orgon of that corporation
in this city , faithfully promised , not only
labored articles in that sheet , but such
promises were made verbally by its late
editor , Mr. Chapman , to whoso influence
and shrewd work the passage of
the gift ordinance is in a great
measure duo. When the council was
about to lay the ordnance over until
a future meeting , in order to give
certain members and tnx-payors generally -
ally on opportunity to investigate what
may bo legitimately called a corporation
steal , Mr. Chapman arose in the moot
ing and eloquently and cutely urged the
"groat importance" of investigation , and
succeeded in having the ordinance passed
that very night , before many citizens
know it was before that august body of
municipal protectors of people's rights
and property. Ho assured the council
that the Union Pacific had to have the
avenue in order to shut'ofF some opposi
tion scheme of the Northwestern com
pany , and that if the passage was
delayed until another mooting. Marvin
r.IIiighitt and other O.&N.W.ofliciala
would be promptly informed of such ac
tion and would endeavor to "block the
gome. " In other words , ho was afraid
the game of himself and the U. P.
would bo shut off by the Northwestern
and tax payers of this city In the event
the scheme to got the avenue as a pres
ent got out before the ordinance was
finally road and the title agreed to. If
the U. P. had to have the avenue , why
didn't its authorized spokesman , the late
editor of its mouth-piece , guarantee that
the company would pay what it had
cost this city ?
But as to carrying out the company's
part of the contract , it is a well known
fact that thoy'novor put on a half hour
trains , and in going to Omaha passengers
were always compelled to lay at the
transfer fifteen minutes. And recently
the company took oil one of the dummy
trains , thus bringing the thing back to its
old original standpoint , and this one
train loaves Omaha on the oven hours ,
and this side on the half-hours. It has
also taken oil' the 1- noon train from
both sides. Whore is tins contract , and
is it not now null and void , by reason of
a failure of the company to comply with
its part of that agreement 1 In all busi
ness transactions between men or corpo
rations of honor , a contract becomes void
if cither fails to comply , and can bo
so declared by cither party to the
samo. Tlio oflicial organ of the compa
ny should endeavor to bring the company
to a realization of Us duty in place ot till
ing its columns with abuse of the board
of trade and Congressman Pusoy because
they are striving to secure bettor and
cheaper facilities for communication be
tween the two cities ( and thanks to Mr.
Pusoy I BOO his bill has passed the house.
Chapman's opposition to the contrary. )
I see by the Sunday's Nonpareil that it
treats the BEE aa "tho Omaha paper
whoso interests here are only to destroy
Council BlulFs and all her institutions ,
etc. I thought the Nonpareil always
claimed that the BEE had no influence for
grcd or evil in this city. Its little whine
Sunday does not look as though it still
retains that brilliant idea. But perhaps
it didn't moan the BEE. I think it got
the wrong Bismarck terror by the oar ,
and mount itself instead of the gold-
winged buzzer whoso stings sooiu to pain
it so. OiisKKvr.u.

BUNGLING BURGLARS ,
They Steal from the Sleeping.
Sunday night about ono o'clock , Mr.
A. W. Street , cashier of the Citizens
bank , who residua at the corner of Broad
way and south Eighth street , was awak
ened by hearing n scream. Ho jumped
up , and was informed by Miss LocUwood ,
a young lady who resides with the fami
ly , that there was a man in her room.
Just then ho hoard a crash down stairs ,
and shortly after n call from the street ,
allowed by u pistol shot. Ho hastened
down and found that some ono had kicked
out a largo pane of glass , and jumped
through the window. Ho was met by
Officer Metcalf , who had hoard the crash
and saw the man running , hu ordered
him to haltwhich order wua diaregardod ,
so the ollicur fired at him , but the man
had disappeared in the darkness. Jnvoa
tigation revealed the fact that the suouk <
thief had ull'octed an entrance intc
the hous'u by means of a ladder , throngl 0ll
the window of the room occup cd bj
Miss Strci't , in the second story , Ji\r \
Street returned to his room to druss p.d p.d
found that his clothes were scatturuc
around and his pockets rilled of u guli
watch and chain , u pocket book contain
ing UBS than live dollars , and a fuuc ;
mutch eafo which Mr. Strnot valued mor
tnan the money , Nothing uleavu
misted from the house. Miss Lock\vnoi
was awakened by ilio man strikm
match in the doorway of her room. Sh
saw him distinctly , and will bo ublu t
identify him if caught.
Search around the jiruuiisoa and in th
street revealed the tracks of two man
ono iu his stockings and the other wit
boot * OH When ollicer Metcalf Hrod a
the thief ho slipped and full on some (
the now dirt filled in there , and droppe
the watch and chain , which were picko
up and returned to Mr. Stroot.
Yesterday n man was run in by the
police on suspicion of being the man
wanted , but Miss Lockwood , on seeing
him , said ho was not the ono she saw.
It ia a pity that Officer Motcalf did not
succeed in so effectually maiming him with
a bullet as to render identification unnec
essary.
nXTEUTAlSMEM.
This ovonlng at 8:30 : the case of Tootlo
vs. Hazoltino will , bo continued at the
district court of the Y. M. 0. A. , at
room No. 12 , North Main street. The
suit was commenced last week and is ono
of considerable interest. The dooru will

HOW ABOUT THE PAVING ?
XIio Unheeded Wnrnln n of The Ilco.
Tlio Hermit.
Weeks ngo when the subject of letting
the contracts for the paving of Broadway
and Main street was before the common
council THE 31 KB warned the public that
unless more than ordinary care was
taken , the U. P. road , as owner of the
street railway in this city would manage
to evade the paving of the streets bo-
twcon the rails of the track. It now
transpires that no contract has boon lot
to any one for paving that portion of the
streets. The contract with Reagan Bros. ,
reads all correct and as it was supposed
to with the exception of the following
" .Also exclusive of all spaces between
and twelve inches outside of all street or
other railroad tracks within the limits
included in this contract.
With a paid city attorney , a special
paving committee , and an expensive
common council , if such n blunder "was
permitted it is about time to turn out the
old , and turn in sonio now ofliccra.
Perhaps it would bo well in the future
to have the city attorney draw up the
contracts , instead of leaving it to the
attorney of the outside parties , who was
at the same time attorney for the U. P.
street rail way.
Tlio attorney for the U. P. road drew
up the contract , giving Union avenue to
that corporation for certain considera
tions , which considerations it is now
discovered cannot be enforced.
The attorney for Regan Bros. McGorrisk
and for the U. P. street railway drew up
the contract for paving and now it is dis-
cavorod that the city has no contract with
any one to pave the streets between the
car tracker , within 12 inches each side of
the track.
