The elotcetlvo feinel which wa.s recently
' allowed Marshal dimming * by the city
council has already been put to some use
nnd yesterday its first re-suits were reported -
ported to the police department. Thetse
results arn In the shape of information
Illcd against five landladies ) of houses of
Ill-rcputo for selling liquor without a li
cense. The facts in the cases were
gathered by two detectives , engaged by
Marshal Cnmmlngs iineler the new or
dinance , who have been spending two
'
. nights In vuling ; the principal bawdy
houses. Tilr report shows that out of
nix houses visited they succeeded In buy
ing beer in live , and that also wine was
sold. Ne > cll'eirt at Hooroe-y was made by
any of the ; women , lint the lieiuor was
Bold openly in disrcgarel of the law.
On their HtntomontR warrants will bo
> Issued this morning for the arrest of Mrs.
Mann. Mrs. Frank , Minnie Fairehild ,
Fay Snonard ami MM. Thompson. The
report also stales that Mollic Gibson has
recently abandoned the sale of liquor.
The price paid for the beer by the de
tectives was ? 1 per bottle , the ! charge for
winei l > eing ! f * . The report states how
much they drank and where ; and of
whom it was purchased ! . It is thought
that the evidence gathered is so strong
that thn women , upon being brought
before Juelge ; Steinberg , will not stand
trial , butwill plead guilty.
The saloon men are jubilant , over the
prospect of having the sale of boor stop
ped in these disreputable places. The-y
nay they are1 willing to close up at mid
night a.s long as the bagnios are also
made te > come te > time1. As it has been
before these houses eiendel sell beer after
midnight without having paid any
license , while the saloons , which had
complied with the law and paid their
money , were compelled to close. They
hayo made a strong light to have ; the in
justice remoelie'd , ami they now hope that
they have mieceesded.
One of the strongest reasons Marshal
Cummings had for wishing the ordinance
in reigarel to the detective fund to pass
the council , was em account , of the disre
gard of the liepior law by keepers of disreputable -
reputable houses. In answer fj the com
plaints of the saloon keepers in regard to
the matter , he informed them that ho
could ele ) nothing without a detective
fund , as it was impossible ; for the regular
police force e > f tno city to secure the evi
dence needed to stop the illicit traffic.
Ho saiel , however , that with a proper
fund for thocmploymentof detectives , ho
could soon regulate the matter. The ordi
nance finally passed the city council , and
now Marshal Cummings proposes to show
that ho never breaks his worel.
OTIIKK UIM'.NSK mitEiUIAItITIK3.
By instruction of the city council al its
last moetiiig , the marshal'lias been inves
tigating other license irrognhirities. Ho
has foundithatji number ol liquor men.
who are doing both a wholesale and retail
business , are carrying on both concerns
under one license. 1 hero are also brew-
cries and beer saloons acting under only
ono license. This , he says , is contrary to
the state law. He will make * a report of
his investigations to the city council at
its meeting to-morrow evening.
Ijlfe'fl Fitful FovcrOvcr.
After a life of pain ami pleasure , dissi
pation and reform , crime and repent
ance , there died at Kansas City a elay or
two ago a woman whose name at one
time was known throughout the length
and breadth of the land Eva Lloyd. To
all who remember the Golddust murder
trial in Chicago four years ago the name
will Hound familiar as that of the defend
ant in that famous case.
Eva Lloyd , as she was called , came to
Omaha two or three years ago from Chicago
cage under an assumed name. Her trial
for the murder e > f the Goleleltist woman
was over with , she had been acquitted ,
nnd she came te > this city hoping to con
ceal her identity and hide herself from
the public. She wa.s beautiful and ac
complished , \\ith winning manners ,
and easily secured a situation at
the St. Charles hotel. For a time
she worked faithfully ami well ,
and wa.s held high in the esteem of her
employers. Then it was noticed that shu
occasionally indulged too freely in liepiors ,
and finally , through some ! mischance ,
her identity was revealed. She gave
way te > despair , left her situation at the
St. Charles ami began a series of deep
dissipations. Her beauty , however ,
called friends to her aiel , and with their
help shu recovered BOUIO of her self-
respect. She hccured a place at the Can-
Hold house , and for a short
time conducted herself aright. Her
appetite , however , again overpowered
her , and she fell , going lower than be
fore. Her friends again came to her as
sistance , ami sent her out into the coun
try in the hope of reforming her. She
remained away Irom the city but a few
weeks , when she ; returned and resumed
her dissipations.Vhilo on a drunken
spree with a well known cattle man slut

oil'a piece of hjsear. Ho refused , however -
ever , to prosecute her , and soon after

flho mot. a man named Dr. lte > gcrs and
was married to him. Together they
took a trip to the Yellowstone and lived
happily for ( -01110 time , Hut both became
dissipated , formed thn morphine habit ,
nnd then commenced thu abandoned
life which ( Midcd in her death.
Thn pair drifted to Kansas City ,
nnd when Mrs. Koge > rs was .sinking with

the Woman'riTemperaneo refuge , where
her last , days were ; spent.

She endeavored to lead an honest , lifo

feiet , . hosts of admirers , therefore it was
not long until she * was recognized ami

She led u dissipated lifo , . but still shu ro-

sympathy which she excited resulted in

hour in Chicago , and was taken into the
family of one of the city's leading
bankers. There she remained for a sheri
time , receiving the attention of some ol
the best people of the town. She sud

Female. Acrolmtp.
There wns a good deal of disappoint
incut manifest on the countenance ol
many voting men and old ones , too
yesterday morning when the state of the
weather lirst greetfd their senses. The
signs of grief which overspread tholrcoun
tonnnces were not entirely on account
of the effect that the rain would have on
the congregations at the churches , but
the frequetit mention of the female base
balllsts showed their anxiety to be In that
direction. Although ( ha posters announo
ing the game read "rain or shine , " the
opinion prevailed that no female , even
of the most athletic build , could stand
the steady pour which was in progress.
This surmise proved correct , for no game
was played and many of those who ex
pected to attend were obliged to drown
their disappointment in thu flowing
bowl.
It was reported on the street that the
young ladles were in town , audaftordili-
gent inquiry it wan found that they wore
occupying their private ear , which stood
near tno Burlington & Missouri depot.
This was the signal for the dudes to lake
up their march in that direction , and in
spite of the rain there was almost a con
tinual procession of mashers passing
down Tenth street during the day. They
gathered around the ladies' ear'in num
bers and usi-il their best endeavors to flirt
with the aggregation of beauty. The
girls , however , were too modest 'to give
them much encouragement , but the at
tentions were kept , up , the youths walk
ing around the car in single tile. The
manager of the club , finding the situa
tion becoming monotonous and decidedly
unpleasant , called a policeman , who ad
vised the foolish young men to go in out
of the rain.
A representative of the HER visited the
car just as the imgallant youths were re
luctantly leaving. The manager looked
at the newspaper man askance at lirst ,
but tinally admitted him to the car.
Once on the inside the reporter was safe.
The car is titled up in an excellent
manner , with both eating and sleeping
accommodations for the ladies. There
are twenty-four of them In the party , but
only nine are members of the ball club.
The others , in con 'cction with the club ,
compose the "Imperial Cadets. " who
usually give drill exhib ( ions on the eve
ning succeeding the ball games. The
ladies have no reason to he ashamed of
their appearance , for , as a rule , they are
good looking , and tlieir tine physical de
velopment adds an additional charm.
Only two or three of them left the ear
yesterday , the most of them spending the
day reading or resting. Some of them
took advantage of the opportunity to
practice with the dumb-bells and Indian
clubs with which the car is furnished.
Nearly all of the girls are from Chicago
cage , although the organization started
out from Philadelphia. Hut as the sea-
sou progressed the original members
dropped out one by ono until only a few
of them were left , and their places were
supplied by Chicago girls. Some of
them are married , and their husbands
occasionally visit them. They have had
a very successful season , them having
been largo audiences wherever they have
played , the bald-Heads usually taking the
front seats. They expected to play to a
largo audience in Omaha , and though thu
rain forbade it yesterday , they will re
turn next Sunday and exhibit their .skill
in handling the sphere.
The organization leave * this morning
for Council Hlutl's , where they will spend
three days , giving three drill exhibitions
and playing one game of ball. Thursday
they go to Lincoln , and Friday they play
at Fremont. They then return to Omaha ,
to bo ready for Sunday's game.
The InvcHtixatlon.
Nearly all of the city officials were
at the council chamber Saturday after
noon to testify before the special com
mittee appointed at tin ; last meeting of
the city council to investigate the charges
made in connection with the allowance
of the § 7,000 item to the water works
company. Councilman Leo was chair
man of the committee , the other two
members being Dailey and Thranc.
Mayor Hoyd was the lir t witness called ,
md tcstilied that ho received the appro
priation ordinance on Wednesday. Ho
saw the water works item , but at first
thought nothing of it until ho noticed
that it read "as per bill rendered. " This
ironsed his suspicion , ami he investi
gated the matter. Ho signed the ordi
nance Thursday , but made the re erva-
.ion that he would veto the water works
bill. When he saw Auditor Long that
: r ontlcman , suoko about the water works
nil , and said that ho had never audited
t. He simply placed it in the appropria-
.ion ordinance by order of the conned.
Auditor Long testified that ho placed ,
the bill in the ordinance by order of the
'ouncil.Vhen the ordinance came to
thn thi ) water works bill was not in the
.ifiiial shape , and bo began an investiga
tion. Ho found the bill had been
referred to the committee on lire And
ivaler works last December and had not
jeen reported upon. From the city en
gineer he found what the bill was for
. ( . locating hydrants and relaying pipes
caused by the changes of grade , lie was
informed that the bill could not bo col-
eclod , as it was not legal. Nevertheless ,
jy order of the council , ho placed the
iniounl in tlio appropriation ordinance ,
is he thought Im had no power to leav i
mt the bill. In his search for the bill ho
found that it was in possession of the
city attorney , A duplicate bill was
H'ought him by the water works com
pany , but nothing wm offered him to
[ dace it in the ordinance. It is usual for
ill bills to bo presented to him before
icing submitted to tint council. lie went
: o the city attorney and city engineer
because he thought they would know
more about the bill than the council. Ho
lid not ( < are to crilici/.o the action of any
councilman.
City Clerk Southard testified that the
Ir.st lie t > aw of the bill was on tlio day of
: ho council mueting. It was handed 'him
n his oDice am } introduced into the city
council. Ho did not know , when ho
road it , whether ho read the bill of par
ticulars or whether ho just road bill tif
the water works company. After it had
passed the council Mr. Duinonl called on
dm for the warrant , but ho refused to
'ivo it to hiin.but did not tell film why.
When ho saw Mr. Long bo told him ho
would set down on the bill. Mr. Long
said ho had never seen the bill , but had
lakew It from the report of the committee.
Here the record wa.-f introduced and it
was .shown that the Item had been read
u connection with three other bills , the
ithera ha\lng been approved by the
, 'iiditor.
Assistant City Clerk Wood testified
that ho lirst saw the bill on the night it
was invsontod to the council. Ho noticed
that U was peculiar nud not in the usual
form , lip was in thu olllco when Mr.
Dninont brought in the bill , Mr. Lcedur ,
chairman of the tire and water works
nminitteii , was not present at the meet
ng , and the next day rcqncMcd thu wit
ness to mnku out thu coiumittcu'a re-
port on nil the bills which had
been submitted to it , as the bovs
wanted their money. Ho accordingly
made out a favorable report on all the
bills. After It had passed the council
sonic of the water works people called
to see about having the item placed in
apnropriation ordinance
Deputy Auditor Coulter was called and
f ! . tiliod that when the ordinance was be
ing prepared by himself and Mr. Long ,
the latter spoke of the water works Item
saying ho did not think it was just and
he would speak to the mayor about it.
No one had spoken to him about having
it placed in the ordinance.
City Attorney Connell said that the or
iginal bill was given to him by Mr.
Lecder last January , while the old coun
cil was In session. Mr. Lceder asked
him to look the matter up. Ho found
out what the bill was for , and told Mr.
Lceder that it wiw Ins opinion it could
not bo collected. Mr. Leeder had always
been very careful to Investigate into all
bills in order to make a correct report.
The reason the witnessdidnot return the
bill to the council was because it was
never called for. According to law ho
did not believe the bill could bo collected.
Ho told the mayor that he considered the
bill fraudulent.
Councilman Lceder testified that Mr.
Diimont brought in the bill , which was
referred by the council to the city attor
ney. He had heard nothhig from it
until the mayor's veto of it. Ho did not
know it was in the report of his commit
tee. The report was written by Captain
Wood , as the witness was very busy at
the time. He signed the report , thinking
it was all right. Ho admitted his care
lessness and was willing to bear his share
of the responsibility.
Councilman Goodrich , a member of
( he. committee on lire and water works.
paid ho had signed the report , but ho did
not think the water works item was in it.
To the best of his memory the bills only
amounted to $ ir > 0. He did not know
that the water works company had a
claim against the city.
Councilman Furay acknowledged his
signature to the report of the committee.
Ho was astonished that any member of
the committee should indorse any bill
which had not been approved by the
auditor. Ho did not hear the water
works item read in the appropriation
ordinance. He thought the auditor waste
to blame for not calling attention to the
item before placing it in the ordinance.
S. It. Johnson , of the water works com
pany , tcstilied that no undue influence
had'bncn used to have the bill pass the
council. He had never met Ms. Leodor
until that afternoon. Ho was of the
opinion that the bill was a legal one ,
notwithstanding tlio opinion of the oily
attorney. He did not. know who delivered
'
livered 'tho bill or who received it.
Mr. Uumoiit was not present , but sent
a deposition testifying in substance the
same as Mr. Johnson.
The committee then adjourncd.and will
present their report to the city council
to-morrow evening.
Army Affairs.
The quartermaster-general of the army

suetl the following order : "That where
any of these shoes prove to be found de
fective through no fault of the wearer ,
by a board of survoj' , duly appointed
within thirty days after issue , that such
defective shocsafter action by said board ,
duly approved by post commanders , may
be turned into the post quartermaster ,
and a new pair drawn in lieu of tlio con
demned ones. The latter to be sent as
they accumulate to the military prison
and dropped from the returns ot the olli-
cer responsible. "
