that James O'Hricn , who has beou dis-
pcudo.d from the lire department , bo sus
pended for thirty days without pay and
then reinstated instead of being dis
charged.
Chief Uutlcr said ho had no prejudice
ngainsl any member of tlio department.
Ho said Mr. . O'Hricn had been drunk fre
quently for years past nnd that ho had
put up with him as Jong as ho could Ho
hoped the council would investigate the
charges before they noted upon the re
port. Ho grew oloiitiont and talked for u
quarter of an hour , explaining at great
length hii relations with O'Brion , and
asking that his action in discharging
him o sustained by the council for
the good ot the discipline of the lire de
partment.
P , Ford spoke in favor of O'Hrien , who ,
ho" said , had done good work in the de
partment for seventeen years. Ho said
there was a gooil deal of drinking in thu
department from the head down , and
that tliero iiad b eu fires at which neither
thu chief nor thu assistant was present.
PIe said O'Hrien did got full on Nuw
Year's day , but neariv all the firemen
were drunk at the same time.
Mr. Leo thought. O'Hrien had been pun
ished enough , and spoke in favor of his
retentidu in the department.
Mr. Lane , representing O'Hrien ' ,
made a strong pleit for O'Hrion.
Did Butler dare deny that ho
had been full , ho asked. Other
members had been full , but Hutler had
taken no notice pf the fact. lie asked
that an investigation of the department
be made from the to the bottom , and if
ho couldn't prove the top worse than the
bottom those who had been sentenced
would make no further complaint.
Ohief Hutler denied some of the charges
that had been made against him and said
whenever the citizens of Omaha were
ready to make a change in the depart
ment ho would readily step dowu and
out.
out.Mr.
Mr. Lane asked Mr. Butler if thorchad
not been a lire within tlie last month at
which.npithor the chief nor his assistant
were present , Mr. Hutler replied cm-
plintically UiaUtliurp hud not been.
Air. .Lane then said that as Butler had
stated that every driver had to have his
lirst accident lie would ask if Mr. Butler
and the assistant chief had not taken
a horse and bujigy to a recent wedding
whore they got full of beer and broke up
the rig. Mr. Hutlcr's reply was lost in
the president's culls of order and the re
port was adopted reinstating O'Urieu
after a suspension of thirty days.
The committee appointed to investi
gate the charges made that O. D. Hirkett
had taken the curbing from South Tenth
street reported that the "said Uirkett
stole all the curbing and guttering that
was on 183 feet on the cast side of Tenth
street and also on the west side of the
alley , and that the said stone is on his
property. Therefore we recommend that
the city marshal take the proper btnps to
compel Rirkettto return the said rock and
leave them where ho got them , or pay the
value of the same. " The report was
adopted. An attempt was made by Mr.
Hirkett to get the Jloor to offer an ex-
planation.but he was stopped by an objec
tion from Mr. Ford.

to order to hear a communication which
had been placed in the hands of the city
clerk. It was from John A. Butler , ten
dering' Ins resignation as chief of
the fire department , and asking
that il be accepted at oner. . The
members , although somewhat sur
prised by tha turn of afl'ulrs. hesitated
onlylopg enough to refer the resigna
tion to tlie' committee on iiro and water
works nnd then adjourned.
Chief Hutlor was scon by a HKK re
porter last night but refused to have any
thing to say further than that he had ex
pected the council would accept his res
ignation and would atill expect them to
so.

What They Hay of the Trip.
Ono by ono the Pythiaus are returning
rom thuir pilgrimage to loronto , al
though the great majority have improved
their opportunities by extending their
eastern trip to their tickets' limit. Last
night O. E. Thompson , A. A. Lasch , Ed.
M. Friend and J. E. Wll on , all of the
Lincoln Uniform division , wore in the
city on their way home. They speak in
the highest terms of thuir treatment in
Canada. There was no invostijralion of
Uggago bv custom house otlicers ; the
freedom of the city was placed at llicir
disposal ; this Queen's ' Own band , that
never hi ils history played on a similar
occasion , furnished them music ; the
police were ordered to interfere with
no knight in uniform ocopt it
was a very extreme case and iji fact noth
ing was jfft undone to inuku the visit of
the Pvthiuns a remarkable ono of pleas
ure. The railroads too vird with each
other on doing the knights favors. The
Northwestern and Grand Trunk were
particularly active in this respect. In re
gard to the drill the Lincoln boy's say
tnat they labored under a gicat disad
vantage as tlipy hud to drill m a drench
ing rain and in deep mud. The olhecrs
of the Lincoln Uniform Division are W.
L. Dayton , commander ; Charles W.
Kccfer , lieutenant commander ; H. W.
Kelly knight herald. All were loud in
their praises of the pleasures of the trip.
Reception of : i Pn.stor.
The commanding grounds of the beau
tiful residence of Mr. T. H. Kendall , in
Omaha View , wcro made brilliant last
night by Chinese lanterns and a largo
gathering of ladies nud gentlemen , who
gave an open air reception to Rev. Henry
C. Crane and wife. llev. Mr. Crane came
to the city several weuks ago at. the re
quest of some of the city paotors.'to estab
lish a new Congregational church. The
peoole of. Oniahn View , with proat
unanimity and enterprise , have fostered
the movement. The FirstCongrcgatioiml
church hi : generously subscribed money
for the erection of an edifice , a lot Ija's
been scoured and in a few weeks a hand-
gome building will be erected. Last
night a generous collation was provided
and speeches wore made by Messrs.
Crane , Ila-skell , Tukcy , Fleming and Dr.

S. 1 > . Hounds mill Cadet Taylor tlio
Now Proprietors.
For some days S. P. Hound * , govern-
inont printer , and Cadet Taylor , chief
clerk of the government printing oflico ,
have bopn In the city , ami It soon leaked
out ttjat they were lioro ou very Impor
tant bit-duos * . The climax was reached
yesterday whoii the wile of the Ucpubll'
can. building and plant , was made by
Messrs. Yost and Nvo to the gonilomuii
lirst named. The consideration is said to
bo $100,000 , although the parlies inter
ested are not willing at prt < > ont lo stale
the exact ligures. The date when the now
proprietors will take possession has not
beou dollultoly lived , but U will bo u soon
as tlio outgoing gontlcmi'ii have ar
ranged thuir utTnlr.1 suil.iblo to the
change. Both Messrs. Rounds and Tay
lor intend to take up their ro id < nco In
Omaha , and it is uuiioi'ossary to
say that thuir advent In
this goodly community will bo
a welcome addition , both socially and in
n business point of view , They did have
some intention of settling lu Topeka ,
Kau. , but a visit to Omaha and a casual
examination of its progress and pros
perity settled the uhoiro at once. Mr.
Rounds ban not tendered his resignation
as government printer yet , but will send
it to the president shortly. The editor of
the Republican under tlio now regime
will bo O 11. llothackor , the son-in-law
ot Mr. Hounds , now editing thu Wash
ington Hatchet , ono of the brightest of
nlftlio humorous publications of thu day.
Ho stands high m the profession , nnd +
was at ono time editor o'f the Denver
Trlbuun. In fact , nil tlireu geutli'ineu
have passed thuir lifetime amid the types
or in the sanctum. Mr. Rounds has no
superior in tlio country to-day in the
mechanical department of journalism ,
and Mr. Taylor has been connected with
both the case anil the pencil since his
youth , his last venture being editor
and publisher of the Wimma illl. )
Index. For ton years ho bus been either
president or secretary of the Illinois
Press association , and at all turn's an in
timate and close friend of his present
partner.
In all probability Messrs. Rounds and
Taylor had their attention first called to
Omaha by the lion. A. U , Wymaii.
Thirtv-fivo years nan when the father of
the latter was publishing the Madison
( Wis. ) Democrat , Messrs. Rounds , A U.
and Will \ \ ymau wcro working in the
ollice. They used to hot type side by
side , take turns in engineering
the old hand press , wash
the rollers and undoubtedly patron-
b.c together the same olllco towel.
Yesterday a visit was paid lo
Mr. Will Wymau at the ri'sidonco of
George Iloaghuul whore he is contlned
with a fractured leg caused by a runaway
accident in Cincinnati. It can readily bo
imagined tbat the scenes way back in the
fifties were pleasantly recalled , ami il is
said thai the repetition by Mr. Will Wv-
man of Home songs that used to reecho
through the old Democrat oflleo com
pletely broke up Mr. Hounds. Messrs.
Rounds and Taylor luavo to-morrow for
Topeka , Kan. , and will then go to Wash
ington , to maku preparations for moving
lo their now home.

An Unkowu Western. Nobrnnkaii Dies
in Oniahn.
Monday ovnuing , about 8 o'clock , a
stranger stopped oil the Denver Irain at
the Union Pacific depot. He had scarcely
touched the platform when he fell bouse-
less in the midst-of a crowd of by-Htand-
tsrs. Ho was immediately falcon to St.
Joseph hospital where ho died yesterday
afternoon at } o'clock. His remains were
carried to tlie undertaking rooms of Mc
Carthy & Barrett. The cause of death
was va Ivular disease of tlie heart. Ho
was poorly clad , and his pockets , upon
boinir searched , contained but $4. . bov-
eial'papcra were found upon his person.
Ono of these was a recommendation of
Dr. E. A. Hall , of Gibbon , addressed to
the superintendent of a hospital , the
name of which was not mentioned , rec
ommending that tlio bearer be admitted
to it for treatment. Another was a
printed circular signed "F. W. Hyde
Potti-r , Neb. , " advertising a breed of
horses. On the back of this was written
in two places "Jos. Bury , Sanirr.mnioii
Co. , Ills. " Still another was a receipt
for sf 14 by Oliver Shannon , receiver in
thn land olliec at North Platte , and dale
March U. 18SO. It was the fee for record
ing the entry of a timber olalm in north
east quarter of buctionB , township20 , and
range 57 , and the number of tlio sama
was 8,105. The receipt was made out iu
tlio name of Joseph Adams. Beyond
these papers there was nothing to toll the
name or the late residence of the de
ceased , nlthoiiirh the initial "H" was em
broidered upon the front of one of his
undergarments. McCarthy & Barrett
telegraphed Dr. Hall and Gibbon to try
to establish the identity of the deceased.
