President IJechcl called the council to order as a board of equaliza tion , nnd the clerk read the report of the business transacted at the meeting last week. The council then adjourned as a board of equalization and convened in regular session , and the mayor reported that ho had approved and signed the ordi nances passed at the last meeting. The chairman of the board of public works submitted a telegram from the Plltsburg Testing Labrntorv giving their figures for tqsting the Eleventh street viaduct at the works of thu.Morse Uridgo company , anil recommended that the same be employed to do the work. The matter was referred to the commit tee on viaducts. The city treasurer reported that ho had tendered to property owners on Eleventh street the amounts awarded them for damages by the construction of the via duct , and that/ the tenders had been re fused. The gas Inspector reported that ho had made the required examination of the gas , but several defects had been discov ered in the Illuminating power which were due to cold weather. Petitions were received for the creating of nowpaviugdistrictH , and were referred to the committee on grades and grading. Mr. Uailoy introduced a resolution that the board of public works bo Instructed to advertise for bids for the paving of all districts with the various kinds of paving materials , which was adopted. The rules were then suspended and ordinances wore passed creating paving districts on Fiiruam street from Twenty- eighth to Thirtieth , on Saunders street from Sewurd to Delaware , and on Thir teenth street from Hickory to Center. A petition was received from property owners on Sixteenth street asking lor a change of gratlo on that thoroughfare between Howard and Leaven worth streets. Thu matter was referred to the city engineer to prepare a profile of the proposed change. Tlio committee on finance and claims reported favorably on the petition of tiio Young Men's Christian association for the refunding of the back taxes on prop erty formerly owned by the association. The committee also recommended that the taxes on the Charity hospital bo can celled. The reports were adopted. The committee on grades and grading reported that there was no means of com plying with the petition of properly own ers on South Eighteenth street to excuse them from paying grading taxes on account - count of the oomlitiun of tlio street. The report was adopted , after considerable discu.iiion , during which Air. Leo an nounced that ho would bring in an ordi nance at tlio next meeting covering the matter. The committee on police reported I favorably on the appointment by the mayor of Jeremiah O'Urady as police man , nnd the appointment was confirmed. The special ordinance making appro priations for payment of liabilities for the mouth of January was passed to a second reading on a suspension of the rules , when Air. Ford arose and said that as the ordinance contained an appropria tion for the payment of Aaron llool for street cleaning ho should vote against it. It Imtl been reported to him that Heel was not paving his men tlio wages which ho was charcing the city , and the matter should bo investigated. Several other councilmen - men said tnat they had heard the same rumor , and on motion , the bill of Aaron Iloel was stricken from the ordinance and referred to the committee on streets and alloys for investigation. An ordinance vacating Fifteenth street lying north of Nicholas street , and grant ing the use thereof to the Omaha Uelt railway , was introduced , read twice and referred to llio committee on viaducts and railways. An ordinance declaring the necessity of changing the grade of Leayonwortli street created considerable discussjon , and was finally referred to the committee on grades and grading. Air. Leedor's famous ordinance , allow ing saloons to run all night and closing them on Sundays , came up for a second reading , and on motion of Air. Leo , who stated that the general sentiment of tlio people was in favor of leaving well enough alone , was laid on the table by a unanimous vote of the council. After passing a resolution instructing thu street commissioner to remove a bank of snow at Fifteenth street and Capitol avenue the council adjourned. THAT COUNTY" CHARING. Mr. Timnio Wants to HcJcctAll Kids Tlio Work to bo lone. The county commissioners have not as yet lot the contracts for the grading to bo done the coming season , as they are still 1 uncertain as to whether Mr. Knight or Mr. Congdon is the lowest bidder. The : i former , as already stated , is the lowest bidder on short hauls , while the latter is the lowest on long hauls. It now re mains for the commissioner ! ! to decide how much long and short hauling there is to bo dono. Yesterday they se cured from County Surveyor Ocorge .Smith an estimate of the number of yards to bo removed and the distance it will bo necessary to haul it. Un the poor farm road Air Smith estimates the various amounts to bo removed and thu distance to be hauled as follows : 4,000 ymils hauled ever 'J.OOO fret. o.ooo " " 1,60) ) " 0000 " " " " 1,000 20,000 " " " 500 " 10,000 " " under 600 " This estimate includes all that has been graded (17,000yards ( , nearly allotithaulcd less than 500 feet , ) and is not exact as to amount , but in the ratio of the hauls , On Loavonworth street , which Is also to be graded outside of the city limits this season , the estimate is ay follows ; 0,000 yards Imiik'd 500 feet 7,000 " " 1,000 " 11,700 " " 1,500 " 15400 " " ! ) ,000 ' Mr. Smith , however , expresses the opinion that there is not enough dirt to haul the long distances. On the poor farm road Mr. Cougdon's bid H considerably the lowest , but Com missioner Timmo uollevcs thu work ou Ut to bo lot to Douglas county contractors. While ho asserts that ho is not working in the interest of Mr. Knight , ho is in fayor of rejecting the prn-unt bids and iX'udvortlsing , which he believes will secure bettor oilers. Appointed.

Mrs. Stras'sburg solicited the visit of a HUB representative upon rending in thcso columns the announcement of Nadal's Imprisonment In Iowa , nnd yesterday a reporter called upon hor. She was ly ing , as slio has been for the past two years upon her bed In her well furnished apartments. She greeted the reporter pleasantly , but scorned wrought up with emotion and anxious to tell something. "I called you hero to have you make correction of n statement you made in tin ) article referring to Nadal and myself. Please say that I never trnvo him money audio the contray itwas he who gave mo practical assistance. Slrassburgcr ran away leaving mo ? 100 in debt and not a cent at my command.

Mr. Nadal had one of these rooms and as ho was of n friendly spirit I readily made lits acquaintance. When ho learned of my condition he advanced me funds , and I pressed upon him the security of my ring nnd watch. These articles ho wore from time lo lime and bo had them when ho last went lo Iowa lo meet imnrlson- incut. To show you thai he is an honor able man. hero are llio nrlicles. " The lady hero called allention to a massive seven-sot diamond ring , which the reporter had long since no'ticed on her hand , and produced from under her' pillow a handsome gold walch. "You have those statements made pub lic in justice to a woman unable lo de fend her&clf , and do thus what is right. " AVautcil n Warrant. Penkos Chaikiu , a gentleman of Hebraic extraction and still inoro Hebraic name , appeared before Justice Anderson yesterday and demanded excitedly that a warrant bo at once sworn out for the ar rest of ono Nolan. The judge mildly asked him what the. matter was. Ponkos gasped a moment for breath , and went on to tell a story of how ho had been most unrighteously abused by the aforesaid Nolan. It seems that ho had employed Nolan to build a house for him. in'il had had some trouble about ono of Hie doors , which he ( Ponkos ] claimed was not up lo llio proper standard. Words were followed by blows , and the car penter came out of the rough and tumble light decidedly on top. The next day Nolan renewed the figlil , and threatened to kill Ponkos for daring to dispute his skill and tastoas acarpontor. A warrant was accordingly sworn out for Nolan's arrest and placed in the hands of Con stable Kyle for service. While the oflicor was searching for his man Nolan put in an appearance before Judge Anderson and swore out a warrant for Penkos' arrest for disturbing the peace. The two com plainants were bolh arrested nnd brought before his honor at the same lime. A war of words immediately ensued in four different languages , which resulted in Judge Anderson putting both men under bonds lo keep the peace. Another Lecture.

Mr. Savage lias boon called into the case but whether or not in an ac tive capacity remains- the trial lo de velop. Mr. Thur.ston who is probably more closely in Laucr's confidence than any ono else , said yesterday'the prisoner was much disappointed when the indictment - ment was found nirainst him. Ilo had taught himself to believe that the grand jury would take no action. Air. Tliurs- ton would not slate that ho had any ex pedient , other than a defense of his client at trial. < County .Tall Improvements. The county jail is much Improved in appearance , the past few : woqks having been devoted to interior repairs. The floors , throughout have been ne\yly cemented iiiiil ti general hou.sq cleaning has been made. The commissioners had intcn dcd to go further and embellish the the walls , etc. , but county funds are short , and no expenditures except of absolute necessity are incurred. Tlic Concord la Manic.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY. Wlmt Voting Knurnmnn Has to Sny Preparing Tor n Hportlng Toiirna- incut A Varlctr of Local Happenings. A Coon Hadly Cut. A stabbing afl'ray occurred about 1 o'clock this morning In the Rambling rooms over Sam King's saloon at the corner of Eleventh street and Capitol avenue , which nearly resulted in a mur der. A number of colored men were en- > aged [ In "shooting craps" in a ; amo run by Peter Green. Among the layers was a man named John ) ixsou , who is better know as "Stutter tig John. " He had been acting in an bstreporoim manner all the evening , and nally Green told him to leave the table , 'his Dl.xsou refused to do and Green tal toil to force him away. Quick us a ash Dixson pulled a knife and struck at 5rccn a number of times. This uncx- iccted action took the men in the room > v surprise , and during the excitement Mxson ran down the stairs. Just us 10 rushed out on the street , lowcver , ho was caught by Ofllcor Dono- an , who had hoard tlio racket and has- ened to the scene. Dixson made an in- necttinl effort to escape , the policeman's j'rip being to much for him. Ho was akon to the central police station and oeked up. Green was assisted by friends to the tiition , whora he was stripped and found o be badly cut. The knife had struck ilm in the left breast , about a utlf inch above the nipple , inlllcthur a md wound , and also In the throat ami on lis right shoulder and hand. Dr. Leiscn- ing wtis immediately summoned , and Irossod the wounds. He did not consider hem dangerous , but said that if the voitntl in the breast had been but a trillo ewer Green would undoubtedly have j jcen ( instantly killed. Dixon was charged on the station honso ' ( . gistor with stabbing with intent to kill md Green was hold as a witness. ICaiifinann Tells the Story. Young Kaufmann , whoso connection vilh Annie Brown , of Lincoln , was pub- islied yesterday , appeared at the Bin ; flico with the first beams of yesterday norning's sun , anxious to tell his side of he story. Ilo says that he met Aliss Srown on the train while on his way rom Lincoln thither on a business trip , lo had known the girl at homo but had icvur been on any terms of intimacy with icr beyond a more acquaintance. Ilo ind no knowledge of her presence on .ho train with him or of her intentions to , 'isit Omaha at that timo. She came to lim in the course of the journey and old him that she had wearied oi life at ionic and intended to throw herself into v career of shame in Omaha. Kaufman ittemptcd to dissuade her and succeeded in so much that she agreed to temporarily take the edging he had offered at the Windsor lolol and to accept a position of honest vork which lie would procure her in Omnlia. She claimed lo be a typesetter md with that occupation in view lie had set out lo gel her employment. Kaufmann ays that is all of the story , and the arri val of the old man knocked the situation , u'ospects and everything into a cocked ml , and as to bejng her seducer he lodg es a very emphatic and indignant denial. ! Io claims that he can prove his inno cence of the charge if anybody cares to push investigation. Sportsmen in Conclave.

" The Hnssian drama of "Michael Strog- off , " is ono of the moil romantic episode.- , in the recent history of the czars , and is the foundation for the famous romance in which the namcr of Alichael Stro-roll'is ono of the most conspicuous features. Either as fiction or fact it serves as a basis for a succession of adventures which have boon intimately connected with modern incidents of lu { - sian history and are picturesquely employed to illustrate one of the modern incidents of Itusslnn romance. The play , which will bo presented by Andrews' Michael Strogoll' company , at Bo.vd's Opera house on Friday anil Saturday , with matinee Saturday , discards to an extent thu imaginary illustration which involves a multitinlious ill v > lay of the torpsichorian art , nnd is more literal in its treatment.
