Last evening a BIK : reporter was told
that n petition would bo presented to the
city council , praying that body to take
steps to have the "Cheap Lodgings"
place at 1100 Farnam street abolished ,
and an Investigation was made. The
p ion wns not sent In , not belnp quite

signed by nearly nil the business men in
the block named :
To the Mayor and the Honorable Hoard of
Aldermen of the Clt.v of Omahn , Neb. :
Your petitioners , residing and doing busi
ness In block l'J5 , between Klo\enth anil

ami operated at 1107 and 1109 Farnam street ,
n cheap lodglne house , known as the "Ten
Cent Lodulng House. " and operated by Will-
Hani Lewis and Lewis , his wife. That
the character ot the patrons of said house Is of
the lowest order , having llttlo or no regard
for common decency. That the same has
been carried on and operated In such a man
ner as to become an Intolerable nuisance ,
and as an Illustration of ! tlio above
htatemcnl state that from early In the
morning until 10 and 11 o'clock a. m.
the occupan ts and guests of said house are
In the habit of exhibiting themselves In the

undo and semi-nude condition. That they
arc constantly committing nuisances upon
the lloor and steps leading to said lodging
rooms by attending to tlio calls of nature ,
throwing rubbish nnd cast-olT clothing
around , together with many other Indecent
nnd unclean acts.
We , tliciefore , ask that said nuisance bo
Immediately abated and that your honorable
body take such .steps to have the .same abated
ns you may deem necessary without unnec
essary delay , and your petitioners will over

OMAHA , April 2,1880.
ASC1IKMK AKHTIir.
The reporter , at about 10 o'clock last
night , took off his collar and necktie ,
pulled his hat down over his eyes , and
went up to tlio lodging house in question ,
noting nilarioiibly "full. "
"Ah , there , got live cents for the
prowler ? " was asked by a bloary-oywl
individual , who was sitting on a bench in
the qflice. Ho got the money , took an
old tin can and went for beer. On lirst
looking around , after catching breath ,
the stench being so terrible as to almost
take it away , a bare room , about 10x13 ,
three dilapitutcd chairs , a bench. red-
painted water keg and a dingy desk with
u "register" on it was scon. On the seats
was as hard a looking set of bums ,
drunks , etc. . as one could wish to sue.
They were tlio very scum of the city.
"Shay , ( hie ) old boy , got ton cents and
( hie ) wantcr bod"said the repo'rtortotho
proprietor. The latter took his pen and
asked the applicant's name. "Bill Wil
liam , " was the answer. Bill was led
ncross tlio hall to "No. 8 , " and told to
"tumble inter any on'cm ; all the same
price. " The "room" was lilted up in
nearly the same manner as the steonfgo
on a vessel , that is , tiers of bunks , one
about two feet above the other , and no
- one need complain of being lonesome ,
there are so many animals to sleep with.
These alleged beds were made of old bed
% clothes , parts of old coats , etc. , and the
"soft side of' a pine board" was not
turned up , either.
The minute the proprietor had loft ,
the people turned to the new-comer and
demanded beer money , and on being
told that ho was busted thejf sympa
thized with him in a tramp manner.
These follows seemed perfectly at home ,
and said they always stoupod in this
lion so. There wore m this room , com
mon tramps , street beggars , fakirs and a
lull sot of drunks. Leading them on ,
they "gave away" the plan of action
in making n living. When they get up
5n the morning , tlio first thought is for a
drink , which is usually secured by help
ing clean up some saloon. Then they
go on the street and everyone they meet
is asked for money. After enough is secured -
, cured they uut breakfast. Then in the
same manner they got a few dimes , go
into a saloon or un to tlio lodging house ,
and drink stale uecr all day , going into
the low saloons , getting , a glass ot beer
nml eating lunch once in a while to sat
isfy their desire for food. This is their
regular life.
SCKNKS AND INCIDENTS.
, . Hung upon the wall in the oflico was
the sign :
NOTICE.
Kol responsible for any articles of value
* unless kit in my care.
r WILLIAM Lr.wis , Proprietor.
; The sign was there , but no articles of
value or any place to keep them word
seen. Ono of the lodgers said that ho
. . had been there over a month , and in that
time had not seen a single article of value
handed to the proprietor.
The young , beardless bum who lias
Jn ; becii seen 911 the streets for some time
> v""timo and called "Tim. "
past , . is ono of
the regular habitues of the place , and
c ; ave ' -Bill William" lot of pointers as to
li fo in tlio place , but many were too dls-
. 'gusting for publication. Several women
f stop in the house , und it is to bo presumed
MJ that they are as bad as the men if not
" - worse. The inmates como in at all hours
of the night , and in every shape of intoxication -
_ ication , ana if looks go very far tlio
allegations of the above petition i.s true
as to committing nuisances , only that it
' does not say all over the house.
ifl" The proprietor , William Lewis , is a
young looking , slender man of
* foreign parentage , and does not
shock his boarders uy wearing a
clean shirt or anything in the shape of
it. Ills old pipe 13 terribly strong , but
the smoke was a blessing , being much
clearer and better than tlio unbearable
smell coming from the rooms. Ten or
twelve people occupy ono room , nnd nro
a class who nov-jr bathe unless compelled
* ' to ito so. and when they had partially
disrobed and gotten into "bed" the odor
- was , to usu a muoh hackneyed expres
sion , "thick enough to bo cut with a
cheese knifo. " 'The women in the place
nro old , dissipated and the most
lilthy looking things ono could imagine.
M It is n wonder that such a place docs not
breed disease , and any ono who would
stay in such a bed as was scon last night
must be tlio lowtst of the low.
After standing it about half an hour ,
the reporter skipped , saying ho knew a
saloon-keeper down the btroet who would
give him some beer. It was an experi
ence not to bo wished again , nnd such
n vile , lilthy , disease-breeding place it
would bo hard to imagine.
District Court Notes.
The appeal to bo taken in tlio Lauor
case was to bo argued to-day , but as
_ . Judge Thurston is not in tlio city , it will

to hold court there , and Judge Nuvillo
will take his place hero.
The oqulty docket i.s not yet finished.

from serious injury last night. She was

Several resolutions ordering sidewalks ,
presented by Councilman Kaspav and
Schroeder , wore passed.
OKDINANCnS.
Councilman Uailoy presented an ordi
nance amending section 1 of chapter a of
the general ordinances of the city. The
ordinance , as thus amended , makes it un
lawful for any person to "cruelly , inhu
manly or unnecessarily beat , injure , over
load or overwork , etc. , any horse , mule
or dumb animal , " etc. , and provides pen-
altiesfor the infringement of any of the
provisions of the ordinance.
Some discussion followed on the mat
ter , alter which the ordinance was re
ferred.
"This ordinance ought to bo made to
cover cock lighting , " remarked Mr. Leo.
That is just as cruel as dog lighting , or
ns beating a horse.
"Iagree with the gentleman , " said Mr.
Dailoy , "but won't this bear rather
heavily on some of our members ? " look
ing at the same time , straight at Council
man Ford.
P. Ford blushed audibly and a titter
ran through the council chamber. The
ordinance was referred.
At this point City Attorney Council ,
who had usurped the section of the re
porters' table usually occupied by the
BEE man , linished writing a document
and turned it hurriedly over to tlie acting
clerk , dipt. Wood. It was dashed off very
hurridly , but atl'er some time , upon ad
justing and readjusting his specs several
times , Captain Wood managed to make
out that it was an ordinance providing
for ajlowing the Omaha Cable railway
the right or way over the Eleventh street
viaduct under certain conditions. lie
started to read the document , and pro
gressed satisfactorily for a few mo
ments , and then stalled.
"What's the matter ? " asked the city
attorney , who was sitting on the front
bench.
"I can't exactly make this out , " re
plied Captain Wood , scratching his head.
"Let mo try it , " suggested Mr. Council.
"I'm afraid , though , that T can't read my
own writing after it's cold.
His fcar.s came very near being
realized. Ho looked nt the document
earnestly for a moment , but its illegi
bility appeared to stump him , Ho grow
red in the face , and appeared to bo rather
( Ijscoccrtod. I'inally he deciphered the
hieroglyphics , and the reading of the or
dinance was linished.
" 1 think the ordinance ought to bo
passed to-night on a suspension of rules ,
because certain parties in the cast are
awaiting our action before coming out
hero to go ahead with the work of build
ing the viaduct , " said Mr. Schroodor.
' 'Let us wait and pass the ordinance
regularly , " suggested Mr. Ford. "Wo
don't want to uo too hasty in this mut
ter. "
"I agree with Iho gentleman from thn
Third , " said Mr. Leo , "Wo ought to let
this matter go till -next week. I don't
want any more lecturing from the mayor.
Ho is only too ready to lecture us on
slight provocation , anyway. "
' 'That is not bo , " interuosed Mr.
Sohropdor.
"It is so , " returned Mr. Leo , warmly.
"I say it is not. " jerked Mr. Schroeder ,
growing somewhat beet colored in the
lace , "Whenever wo have bcon lectured
by the mayor wo have deserved it. "
Several other councilmcnaired their
opinions on the matter , some being in
favor ot rushing the ordinance through ,
while othdrs wore not.
City Attorney Council , who drew up
the ordinaiice'said , that ho thought there
would bo no harm in passing it at once.
It was drawn up in such a way as to bo
entirely favorable to the city. The matter -
tor of rental for viaduct privileges was
loft undetermined , and could bo settled
easily when the proper time camo.
Mr. S. R. Johnson , of the Cable Rail
way company , who was present , said that
the Mor.su Jfrulgo company wanted to
know whether the cable railway was to
cross the viaduct , in order to adjust their
plans accordingly. So far as paying a
bonus was concerned , Mr. Johnson
thought that the nable company ought
not to pay out any money in this direc
tion at first , as their expenses in other
ways would bo very heavy.
Iho ordinance was referred to the com
mittee on viaducts , to bo reported on at
Tuesday night's nieeUng. It may then
be passed by a two-thirds vote , by a sus
pension of the rules.

Co. This motion was so modified tlmt
the matter was referred to the committee

"EXJ3HT A GOOD INFLUENCE. "
The Hov. Mr. Hitler Preaches Upon
This Tlicmn nt tlio Kovlvnl.
The clouds cleared away last night in
time to bring out n fair sized attendance
nt the exposition building. The air in
the hall was cool enough to make over
coats ami shawls comfortable. There
was a larger proportion of men present
than upon any of the previous meetings.
This was perhaps owing to the fact that
the Christianity of the women was not
sufficient to elevate to n pitch above the
thick layers of mud in the streets. In
fact , from the looks of the rubber boots
of some of the men it seemed wonderful
that anybody could bo present.
Two ruddy cheeked boys , with pompa
dour , a now accession to the choir , sat nt
tlio right of tlio stage nnd furnished the
tenor. Mr. Hitler's voice wns ubiqultions.
He had the faculty of helping out the
weak parts ot the choir , in fact seemed
at times to think that the four parts \rcro
not enough , for his tones wore occasion
ally cither two or three notes oil' the
proper kev. This was undoubtedly duo
to the severe strain put upon his throat
during the last two weeks.
After a short song service Mr. Joplin
opened the exercises with a short , fer
vent prayer , the burden of which was
thankfulness for the already great re
sults of the revival.
The half has never yet been told
was the refrain which gave the nudicnco
to bcljcve that the managers were not
dissatisfied with the results of the rovi-
vul and that the meetings woltld bo con
tinued for some lime to come. The Rev.
Mr. McKaig announced that the young
ladies would meet at the First M. E.
church Sunday afternoontho young men
would meet in the exposition building ,
while at the same time the older Chris
tians would collect in the First Baptist
church and pray for tlio success of the
two meetings.
During the evening a special prayer
for reporters was requested and bronchi
from Mr. Bitler the ejaculation , "God
bless the reporters. " The Rev. Mr. Mc
Kaig then knelt dangerously near the
front of the platform and prayed that
the request might bo granted.
"ISrone of us livcth to himself and no
man dlotli to himself1 ' was the text
which served as a basis.
The teaching of the text is that everyone
ono of us lias an influence that must bo
exerted. "It is not only exerted while wo ,
are living , but oven after wo are dead
and gone. The influences live on oven
after our bodies arc dust in the ground. "
The speaker continued in this strain
and urged the congregation to exert
their inliuenccs only for good. In con
cluding , lie urged those in the audience
who desired to become Christians to
come forward. The invitation met with
a few responses who were worked over
by the brethren with more or less suc
cess.

THE 1N.TUXCT10X CASE.
Judge AVnlccloy'H Decision as Ren
dered Yesterday.
As wns mentioned in last nights BEE ,
Judge Wakcly rendered his decision in
the case of Bronnan & . Co. vs. the City of
Omaha ot nl. 3'estcrday. His decision
enjoins the city from entering into any
contract for paving and guttering with
Murphy & Co. , on the ground that Brcn-
nan & Co.'s is the -lowest , and as the
lowest bidders they should bo' given the
contract. The decision reads as follows :
fn the district couil of Douglas county :
Edward Brennan et al )
vs. >
The City of Omaha , et al. )
An application for Injunction. It h held
as follows :
1. By the charter o this cltv it is required
that all crading , paving , macadamizing or
guttering for which a special tax Is to bo
levied shall bo done by contract with tlio low
est responsible bidder. The work in question-
comes under this provision.
U. It is the settled law In this state , under
decisions of the supreme court as it Is so de
cided elsewhere in numerous cases , that such
a provision Is mandatory , leaving no dlscro- ,
tlon In the public body or authority to disio-
gard it , and it Is hold that obedience to It can
be compelled by mandamus , and when un-
necesaiy illsobcdienco ot Itcan be prevented
by injunction. c < -
3. In this case bids were advertised 1'or and
made for cuibing-the-streets ordeied to bo
paved this year ; juid jtho plaintiffs in duo
form bid to put in. the curbing with Korea
saud stone at 7SK'eentsper ; lineal foot. .Mur
phy it Co. , bid ro < do Mt ill part for 00 cents ,
anil in part tor CI cents ! per loot with Col
orado sandstone."nielild of Murjihy & Co. ,
was the lowest ; anQ It 14 hcio sought to en
join the city froni letting tlio contract to them
under that award. * *
4. The board of ilubllc works had , previous
to the blddimr , grjded or classilicd various
kinds of Mono as ! follows :
Granite , SI.OO or ; ' . * . , 81.25
ColoiadosnndstorHVSdC or
! Bcrea sand stone , l.lc of w > j
And other stones hotfnecessarv to incntlion.
Uy a Blamle nnd dnsy calculation it Is
demonstrated * llmf , 'Hccoullng to the proportionate
tionate clllclency and value us issued by the *
board , and In view of Which the bids weie
made , the bid of lircnnin & Co. was lower
than thai of Murphv & Co. A bid of ! cents
for Colorado sand stonft is equal to , and no
lower than n bid of 70-7-17-85 , 75-1)0-70-7-17. )
The solution of the board by deducting 00
cents from Sl.OiiJf and 78K cents from V3 %
cents and determining that Murphy & Co.
were the lowest bidders because 10 cents Is
n larger deduction than V % cents from the
given standard of value iu the two cases , Is
fallacious. It would lead to this result , that , if
1 cent a foot was bid for lierea and 10 cents a
foot for Coloiado stone , the latter would be the
correct bid , because the deduction would bo
90) cents , nrainst 92 % cents from the re
spective standards ot' value , a result mani
festly erroneous. And by other illustrations ,
equally convincing , the same result I.s ar
rived at.
5. The clause In Brennan & Co.'s bid , re *
latlvo to extra gradlnsr Is not a part of the bid
for stone and does not affect it. But If this
.ought to be taken into account it would not
chainie the le.stilt , because It is shown with
out consti notion that then the cost of tills
could not exceodSlOO , leaving their bid still
lower than Murphy & Co.'s by several hun
dred dolliiis.
C. No other question no oossary to bo de
cided is presented by the iccord so far : and
it follows that the injunction asked for
should bo allowed.
ESTATE MATTERS.
What "Was Done ThH AVcolc , nnd a
Few Pointers.
There is not much change in the real
estate business , and the trade for the past
week has been about the same as the
week previous. The past four weeks real
estate transactions have , however , been-
greatly in excess of the same period of a
year ago , and prospects arc good for an
increabc'd business this summer and fall.
Several largo sales nre on foot , being
mostly for good fanning properly
throughout the state.
Hero's a little pointer for renl estate
men. The other day n gentleman
a stranger in Omaha bought some val
uable property of an agent in the city ,
paying cash down for it. Yesterday ho
went to the recorder's oflioo to have the
deed recorded , but it was incorrect nnd
could not bo accepted. The deed had
been made out by the agent , Jlo recti
fled the mistake , however , and the nmn
got the deed rocqrtlcd. Now , this looks
bad , Of course , tlio agent meant noth
ing , but still it looks bad , and for a short
time the geiitloninm in question was
under the impression that the agent hud
cheated him , n , 79
The largest sale"reported this week is

In this connecwu At might bo well to

man , in conversation withs > ovonil of tlio
more prominent real estate agents yes-
tcrduy , was told something that will seem
pertinent to the question. Tliiwo ugoiits
say that wlion a representative of ono of
the above linns conio to Omaha they
never see them , whiln if they did , some
inducement would bo oll'ercd them to

legitimate , nnd the ollbr , made in good

AS1USEMENTS.
"A Hunch of Hoys" DrliiRS Out a
Imrjro Crowd at the lloyd ,
"A Bunch of Keys" drew a largo crowd
at the Boyd last night who thoroughly
enjoyed its whimsical eccentricities. It
Is thoroughly an amusing piece , but depends -
ponds , perhaps , more upon the capabili
ties of its artists for its success than upon
the intrinsic merit of the play. Eugene
Canliold , as "Grlmcsy , " made his cus
tomary hit , whllo Morlotta Nnsh , ns
"Teddy Keys , " sang and danced in a
manner which delighted the nudionco
and called forth repeated encores. The
medleys sung by the company , as a
whole , wore catching , and some of thoin
were rendered exquisitely. On the whole
the performance was a great success.
"A Bunch of Keys , " will bo repeated this
afternoon and evening.
A Denial.
Editor BEIJ : At a regular mooting of
the Plasterers' Union wo resolved to re
ply to the item headed "Late Election , "
nnd signed "Workman. " This gentle
man calling himself a workman , states :
"A cowardly action of a few paid loafers
calling themselves members of the Plas
terers' Union. " It is gcnor.illy con
ceded that the greatest thief always cries
out stop thief hrst. and if we are not very
much mistaken , this self-styled workman
is a greater loafer than any man tlmt
worked against Manville the day of elec
tion , Ho further states that he
don't think they will bo will
ing to try on their little came again.
Ho will always find us ready to try and
defeat any enemy of organized labor of
any craft. He further slates that ho
would advise the Plasterers' union as a
Boyd factor to keep their posters at
home. Wo will inform these gentlemen
that the Plasterers' Union does not re
quire ndvico from this Fclf-slylcd
workingnian. We defy him or
any one else to prove , directly ,
or indncctly , that the 'Plasterers'
or any of their friends that assisted them
on that day wcro employed by J. E.
Boyd or any party. The same cannot bo
sai'd of the only ono of our craft who
acted ns stool pigeon for Manvillo. In
conclusion we will stale that wo can
prove the statements of the posters , and
wo tender any person or persons
doubting the statements an invitation to
como any Friday evening to our meet

The army of small shorts saved the day for
the bulls. Heroic trading bewail thcro was
some little deposition to continue the old-
time bearing operations , but In spile of this
talk May wheat opened only ? i@ if cundor
the closing price last night , and this quota
tion later proved to bo the bottom for ( no
day. It was agreed on all sides that the
strength catun principally from the army ot
small shorts who chose to cover now rather
than run the risk of finther loss by reason of
the advancing market , the Indications being
just about as good for the market to decline *
as to advance. The icacllou from the open
ing prices , 70 c for May , to 77 fc , weio only
fractional , and did not como in with great
frequency. Thus It happened that
no jyeakness could bo drawn
from the declines. Moro than
usual Is allowed to have been douo In the way
of oxpoit business at home1. Ono house Is
said to have taken UOO.ODO bushels , but the
time of shipment was not mentioned. Lester
was one of the earliest buyers of any slzo In
the wheat pit , and bis appearance there was
followed by that of several others cutting an
equally wide swath In the grain market when
they choose to make things interesting. They
all gave the nuukct moio attention before
noon than after that time. Wheat was hold
up to top llguros by guesses that next week
the visible simply would show a decrease ot
about 2,000,009 bushels. This and local buy
ing advancea May to 73 c Bluntly before 1
o'clock. Tlie morning session closed stioug
and steady.
COUN Corn was very slow and featureless ,
the market prices only moving Jfc , but In a
general way following the COIU-MI of wheat ,
ruling linn and closing higher than it opened.

"Every ciroit beinir matte to bicak wheat. It
Is now on big crop basis. Chicago Is under

is , Cudahy says , it will reach 75c. I again
