Out nn oniolnl.
The cily council lias taken a queer posi
tion in regard lo llio cily wclglimaslcr.
That ollleial was elected by a majority
of about 400 and it serins thnt
someone not only wauled a cily weigh-
masler but that Amy wus the one wauled.
Despite the voice of Hie people ns thus
heard at the polls , Uio council refuses to
trant him the rights of his olllcc. On
coming into olllee he found that private
parties were doing the most of the weigh
ing. on scales located on city grounds ,
mm ho naturally asked that he might be
made cily weiglimaster in fact as well as
in name. It was discovered Hint the
ordinances needed some changing , thcro
being no m-milty to secure their enforce
ment on this subject. The city attorney
drew iij ) Hiieli amendatory ordinances as
were necessary in his judgement to se
cure to the weiglimastcr the rights of bis
olllee , but the proposed ordinance was
postponed Irom time to time , and quibbled
about , until it was evident that thu coun
cil did not intend to do anything to help
Amy get his rights. The matter being
pressed some of the aldermen expressed
themselves as in favor of giving himmtch
power as was necessary to enforce Mich
ordinances as were on Hie books at llio
time ho was elected. This hocmcd to be
Kcttiug homowhat nearer lo fairness.
They admitted that he had some rights ,
and that if there was no penalty for violating
lating the ordinance in regard to his of-
lice they would fix such penalties. At
lasl an ordinance was drawn up lo this
I'll'cet. It was promptly voted down ,
Aldermen Bennett ami Lmnfurlh voting
against it and it not therefore
receiving the necessary majority. The
reasons for Mich an action , arc not ap
parent. They cannot be political rca-
bous , for while Alderman Bennett is a
republican , Alderman Danfurth was
elected ou the same ticj\et as the weigh-
masler. Under lite ordinances the city
is entitled to M per cent of the city
wcighniabtcr's olllee. So long as the
weighing is done by jirivuto parties the
city loses its per cent , so that the reasons
can hardly be financial ones. The rea
sons can hardly be a desire to protect thu
public interests , for the people by their
votes have declared that they desire lo
have them intrusted to Mr. Amy. In
fact it seems a mystery why the city
should furnish grounds for : i private
.scale , throw away its own revenue from
this source , make the ollicial elected by
llio people a mere figure head , and re
fuse to { jive him any aid to the carrying
out of the duties and receiving the pay
of his ollice. Mr. Amy lias no
wealth with which to fight the case in
courts , but it seems that he will be driven
to this course , unless he choses to aban
don the ollice to which he was elected. If
this cily should not have such an ollicer ,
or the dulies of the ollire should be more
limited , the council should frankly and
honestly declare that fact , instead of try
ing a freezing out game. This policy of
ignoring the city weghuiaster and crip
pling him , w.is begun several years ago ,
when Capt. Williams was elected to that
position , and it has been kent np since.
The city attorney has sarcastically ad
vised tlie council to abolish the oflicc al
together , if it docs not propose to protect
the ollicer in his. rights , and there is a
good deal of trutli to it. It certainly
would be the more manly way to abolish
the olliee altogether , than to play a freeze-
out game with whoever is unfortunate
enough to bo elected to the position.

Several days ago "Tom" Casey , the 20-
year-old Mm of John Casey , a. well known
farmer of Boomer township , came to this
city with | 200 in his pockets , with In
structions to go to the FirstNational bank
and pay part of hi.s father's debts.
Young Thomas arrived in the city but
failed to settle the debts.
The story told to a HKR man yesterday
by the boy's father explains itself. It
was in substance as follows. "Tom came
to Council Blurt's and one of Ihcse 'plug-
purs' caught him. Tom couldn't gut
away from him ; he was drugged and run
into Jim Wilson's gamblin' house , and
bate out of all his money playiu' slud-
horse poker. I'll close them np but I'll '
have mo monov. Ex-Mayor Vaughan is
trying to compromise the thing for mo.
They'll have to come to time or be shut
up. It's a shame , so it is , to havn a da-
eint young man run into a gamblin' house
ami drugired and his money slolen.
Mark me words , I'll close them , so 1
will. "
"Jim" Wilson told the Hr.i : represcnta-
live that he didn't know when it hap
pened. "They say ho lost it at 'stud'
poker , " said he , "but Uruy ran Ihe 'bind'
poker and has 1:0110 to Omaha , now 'Hen'
Long runs it. Stud poki-r and ha/ard arc
games that no city should allow , but
we've got to have them to hold thu
crowd. Now , it's it shame the way Jim
was treated hero. I've had to leave town
a couple of times , and 1 dare say l run as
square a gambling house as uny one in
town. The fact of the matter is a certain
sporting man learned of this boy's losing
'
his fc'OO , and wrote a letter to 'his father
to come down here and make a big kiek
and he'd get his inonny. This is 'dead
straight. ' Vaughan has the letter in his
pocket now. Vou bee these other
gambling houses are jealous of mo , as
I'm making as much money as both of
them ) ) iit togclher , and Ihey are Irving to
run mo out of town again. I do aTl I
know how to run a square place , and I
give away as much money probably as
they make ; no fellow asks me for money
for a bed or n meal but I give it. I've
been broke myself and know how it goes.
The fuel is , oven if thu boy did lose Ids
ifcJOO hu lost it i squarely , but I can't keep
track of who loses or who wins in this
liouso. No , I'm not going to compro-
mibo , as 1'vu nothing to compromise and
don't know anything about the case. "
At this juncture Wilson was called out
Into the saloon lo see Vaughan , who was
about to leave the place , when the lliii :
man left , _ _
Arresting Omaha Visitors.
The .Hothery brother * , John and Ed , of
Omaha , appeared for trial here yester
day , . but the charges- against them w'oro
dismissed by the city attoruuy. Ollicer
Unthank was tlio Arresting ollicer and
took thuin in on suspicion. They weru
strolling about thecily , and. it is said
th'at they were -very free and easy | u
their manner of inspecting the city , es
pecially in the residence portion. They
wcro noticed going into n private yard
in the Fourth ward and examining a
little girl's velocipede , and the manner
in which they stalked about through that
part of the city arous M ! suspicion. They
did not propose to be arrested by any
ollicer ami showed fight , which continued
the suspicions of the ollloer that they
wore crooked. On being taken to police
headquarters a revolver was found upon
one of them , and llio charge of carrying
concealed weapons was lodged against
him. It being shown up that they wcro
saloon men in Omaha , and thai they
wcro not bent on any mischief bore , they
wcro promptly released. They ; made
quilo a roar aooiil the Idea of being ar
rested , but one of the incidents which
added to Ihe suspicions aroused by their
actions was llio faot lhat while hero they
called upon the "Major" al llio county
jail. His reputation did not help theirs.

The man Ryan , who was arrested by
Captain Anderson about a month ago on
Misplclon , was brought before Judge
Aylesworth for a hearing yesterday.
llynn was acting very queerly when ar
rested , and was prowling about the rear
of Harkness Hros' . store and other busi
ness houses. When arrested ho pulled a
revolver and threatened to shoot the offi
cer. From all these circumstances it ap
peared that ho was a hard case. After
being placed in jail one of his fellow
prisoners told some of the others that
Ryan was n great friend of Major Wil
liams , who is there confined on the
ehaigc of killing tlio confidence man at
the Union Avenue hotel. Such u state
ment made Ryan mad and ho proceeded
to pummel tlie talkative prisoner. He
has now been in jail for over a month ,
and as there is no special evidence
against him , indicating that he is wanted
elsewhere , his cn&o was continued until ,
this morning and ho was allowed to go
on his own recognizance. Ho will prob
ably conclude not to appear this morning
and tins is perhaps what the authorities
expect , -is he has had a pretty good
amount of punishment already , enough ,
in fact , if he only relieves the city of his
presence.

More of the Mercer Case.
The latest contest in the Mercer case is
in regard to tlie judgment given against
Mrs. Frank , alias Hubcr , for $2,000. Her
attorneys claim that they were taken un
awares , and have moved to have the
judgment set aside. They yesterday got
the matter continued until this morning.
when they promise to file affidavits and
such showings as are needed to support
the motion to have the judgment sot
aside. The attorney for the Meroer girl
will then seek to got lime granted to pre
pare aflidavits , and showings to rebut
these.
Another chapter is promised in the
case. It is the declared intention of Mrs.
Hubor's attorney to have her brought
here and surrendered , placed in the cus
tody of the sheriff , and then commence
habeas corpus proceedings to secure her
release. Such proceedings will lead to a
review of the evidence on which Judge
Aylesworth held her , and it is expected
that some legal questions may arise which
may result in setting the woman free.
Such will be the attempt.
