At the council meeting Monday night
Mr. Webster presented new plans for : v
sanitary sewer system in the central por-
lion of the city , prepared at his request
by Mr. McNuir. These plans provide lor
a forty-two inch Main from Salt crook up
O street to Seventh , with a tile branch of
thirty-six inches on Seventh street to the
nlloy in block 5'J. through the alloy to
Eighth street , up Eighth to N , and up N
to Ninth , connecting with a thirty inch
tile branch along Is'inth street , gradually
reducing In si/.o to twelve inches at block
120. TiTo branches on the Davis survey
to the alloy in block 10 at O and Seventh
streets , and east to Eighteenth , are also
provided for. The estimated eoat of this
work is iJ4j,000 ( , and it is urged that the
property owners in the district men
tioned can well aflbrd to make the
investment , which would eall for a special
tax levy of lifty mills. These sewers will
give ample drainage to the business portion
tion of tlio city for homo years , and when
necessary can be worked into the Davis
system should it over bo adopted. Tn pre
senting tills plan to the council , Mr.
Webster said ho was confident that the
failure to vote the 8100,000 in bonds for
the Davis system was duo chiefly to the
lack of interest taken by those mostly
concerned , and he would suggest that the
matter bo now properly laid before the
business men , and tnoir co-operation so-
jlited. This drew out a resolution author-
l/ing the sewer committee to confer with
Iho class named , and report at the next
session of the council. Under this reso
lution Mr. Webster has called a meeting
of business men for Thursday evening , at
the council chamber , when the sewerage
problem will bo thoroughly canvassed.
A MATIXKK IN COUUT.
"I want dat child , " shrieked Mary
Johnson , u saucy looking wench in Judge
Montgomery's court yesterday , after be
ing arraigned with two other colored
women for lighting in the Kelly block
over the ownership of a measley looking
kid.
" 1'er can't have it , " retorted the other
dun colored principal. "Yer know ycr
BIIVO mo the child a yeah ago , and I'm
gwino to keep it , 'loss ycr pay me a. dollar
ji week. "
"Yer bet yor sweet life I'm going to
tiave dat chile , " retorted Mary. 'I'm no
common coon , I ain't jedgc , for my hus
band's owned twelve thousand dollars'
wuth of nigger , an' it makes mo tired to
lie 'hoeiated wid such miserable trash as
dese. "
When Juilgo Montgomery succeeded
in rapping tlio disputants to order , he
fround that Mary had given her child
away some months ago , and now , on
trying to gel it , was confronted by a bill
for its keep , which she would not pay.
The party wcro referred to the county
court , whore they adjourned in force and
nearly drove Judge Parker wild with
their clatter. Both the wenches wcro
yoluablo and abusive , and the modest
magistrate breathed easier when they
toolc his advice mid wont homo to steep
over it. Mary's last words as she shot
out of the door were : " 1 earn an 'oncst
living , I do. an'I want that chile or I'll '
cut homebody into shoestrings , dat's jest
the kind of a coon I am. "
TWO inutiNO DAirairrKits.
Liz/.io Uodil and Fannie Lanjrtow , the
young girls who ran away from their
homes Tn this city Sunday , were found at
Fall-mount yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
Beach , having a sort of spring picnic
with the bloods of that western metropo
lis. They had no excuse to make for their
escapade other than a do&iro to bo free
from parental supervision and to have a
good time. The Dodd girl , who Is the
elder of the two , has had tlio reputation
of being fast for some tlmo past , but her
companion seems to bo an innoceiityoung
girl jiibt stepping into the path of evil ,
more from bad associations than
from serious desires or intc'iitions of her
own. Both the girls wnro held in the
county court all day yesterday , awaiting
a decision by their parents as to whetliui
they should ue sent to the reform school
at Kearney or not.

They Were Union Dinars.
A statement which appeared in ono of
the moining papers that the cigars sold
at the ball of the Knights of Labor
wcro uon union goods , is utterly
false and was undoubtedly the work of
mo unprincipled rival of tlio linn of

tors of the cigar stand. All the domestic
cigars which were sold last night
were union labeled , and the
only ones without the label were some
which wcro imported and , hcnco. could
not have boon made by the unions. The
gentleman who had charge of the stand
last night is himself a Knight of Labor ,
and ho declares that there was no dissat
isfaction with tho" cigars sold , but only

AFFAIUS AT SAIjT LiAKK.
Gen. McCoolc'H Version of the Recent
Trouble K\nnilnliii for Pro
motion ,
Gen. Howard yesterday received a re-
) ort from Gen. McCook , commandant at
I'ort Douglas , relative to the recent arrest -
rest of George Q. Cannon. Dispatches
from Salt Lake City state that the action
of the military in assisting the marshal
.o make the arrcsl , has aroused no lillle
udlgimtion among the faithful , most of
whom denounce it as an outrage. Ac
cording to Gen. McCook's statement ,
iiowovcr , the measure was simply one of
justifiable precaution. It seems that the
marshal who was going lo arrest Cannon
at Promontary feared personal injury
uid asked , for his own protection , that a
; uard bo sent with him. Gen. McCook
complied with his1 requisition and sent
liim a guard of tfroiify armed men under
a commissioned ofltccr , who wont on the
train to Promontary. Gen. McCook says
that the soldiers did not arrest , nor aid
they act as a pos o comitatns. The re
port has been forwarded to Gen. Soho-
field for perusal.
"This action1 of Gen. McCook's
appears to haVe aroused a good
deal of feeling , " n remarked ( Sen.
Howard. "The * Mormons claim that
it was unwarranted and outrageous ,
while the genlileJ are equally loud in
their protestations that the measure was
perfectly justifiable. What do I think
about it ? 1 prefer to say nothing. "
Major Robert It. , Hall , Maj. Danger-
field Parker , Mai : iKent , Capt. Powell ,
and Capt. HusbOil entered yesterday upon

Prisoners in Court.
Just at2 o'clock yesterday afternoon n
line of &ix prisoners , accompanied by
duputyslioritlti filed into the dNtricl court ,
which was completely filled with specta
tors. Leading the line was John W.
Lauerwhose , arraignment for the mur.lcr
of his wife , was the cause of Iho largo
altcndancc.
Judge Neville , occupied the bench , and
as court convened Dirtrict Attorney
Estollo stopped forward to arraign the
prisoners.
The first case called was that of Charles
Tracy , and after the indictment had been
read the prisoner entered a plea of guilty ,
Patrick Boyland , the bo3' burglar , was
Iho next prisoner arraigned , and also
plead guilty to the indictment hrouglit
against him.
James B Campbell and James Christie
wcro then arraigned on the charge' of
highway robbery. Both entered a plea
of not guilty.
The state of Nebraska against John W.
Lauer , for murder , was then called and
as the prisoner arose and listened to the
reading of the indictment all eyes turned
upon him. The prisoner stood erect but
his face was pallid and his eyes turning
restlessly from place to place showed
that ho was ill at case. When the react
ing of the indictment was finished Judge
Neville put the stereotyped questions to
the prisoner , "What do you plend.guilty
or not guiltyr"to which Lnuor responded
in a low voice : "I plead not guilty "
Layfayetto Powell , the Florence mur
derer , was Ihcn arraigned for the kllliuir
of Charles Leslie , and plead not guilty to
the indictment.
This completed the arraignment of
prisoners , and District Attorney Estollo
announced that ho would bo ready for
the trial of Lauer on Thursday. Judge
Thurston , however , preferred that the
case bo not set until a week from noxl
Monday , March 8 , as his health was such
that ho could not at present proceed with
the trial. The latter date was according
ly agreed to and the trial set as the
special order for March 8.
The lir.it criminal case of the term was
taken up yoilorday after the arrigmuent
of prisoner * * , the culprit being Adolpli
Peterson , the alleged fiorsothiof of Flor
ence. The crime with which Peterson is
charged is that of stealing , lust fall , a
horse belonging to Michael Grillin. The
animal was afterwards recovered in Oak
land , where Peterson was trying to dis
pose of it.
Peterson plead guilty to the charge and
was remanded for Mnitenco.
TIII'3 CITY FATIlKrtS.
They DlBUiiPs the Laborers' Wages
from I'lirtlKuu Standpoints.
The regular mooting of Iho city council
was held hint evening , with a full attend
ance of members. A largo amount of
routine business was transacted and the
session continued until a later hour than
usual. The most interesting feature of
the evening was called up by thu rcpoil
of the committee which investigated the
charges brought against Aaron Hoolfhc
street cleaning contractor. As already
stated in the BKE the commilteo found
Mr. Hool's bill correct and so 'repoited.
In discussing the matter , the Mibjocl
of the wugus which Miould be paid
by the oily to its laborers was
brought up and the opinion of City At
torney Council was biibmltlcd , holding
that the city could not compel contract
ors tojwy laborers $1.75 a day. Council
man I'ord insinuated that the opinion
was a biased one. Mr , Council being a re
publican and in favor of paying small
wages. Thereupon Councilman Furay
moved that the matter bo referred lo
Mayor Boyd , whoso democracy la undis
puted , who should solnct two democratic
lawyers to thoroughly investigate the
legality of the caso. This inoiion created
considerable political difcussion , in
which packing and slaughter house do-
moeracy came in for mention , but finally
prevailed. A number of grade ordinances
were passed and business of minor im-
porlanco transacted , after which the
council adjourned.
