Tlio Cnl > lo MHO Argument.
Yrstcnlay Iinorninjr tlio far-
giiment of tlio motion Gto
dssolvo tlin temporary injunction
njr.nlnst the cable company was com-
tniincud before Jmltfe Dundy In the
United States court. Mr. J. C. Co win
represented the cable company and
Messrs. J. M. Woolworth nnd G. L.
1'rltclictt llio street car company.
Mr. Cowin spoke first in support of tlio
motion to dissolve the injunction. Ho
developed tnrco good poinU in his
Hpeecli.
The lirat ono was that the territorial
legislature act , unssed in 1887 , giving the
street car company the right to build and
operate the road , involved a clause which
provided for Us beln < r lunendcd. In 1877
the legislature passed smother net , which ,
it is claimed , was nn amendment to the
original act , Inasmuch as it authorized
street r.iilw.iy companies in general to
operate under certain restrictions it : Ne
braska cities. So that the cable company
is properly authorized in building their
line in this city.
Another point made by Mr. Cowin was
that the cable railway is operated by
fitciun and lienco docs not infringe ) on
tlio rights marked out in the street rail
way charter.
Mr. Cowin's last point was that even
granting that the street car company did
possess-an exclusive right to the streets
of the city , they had forfeited
tlio right to stop the cable
road from building by allowing two
years to pass before they had taken steps
to prevent the enterprise. The ollicials
of the street railway company , ho said ,
hail for two years watched tlio culilo
road people preparing for tlio enterprise ,
laying their plans gathering their ma
terial , nnd bnving their property , and
had not said a wont. Now at
the very last moment , they stopped in
and soucht to prevent the consummation
of the enterprise. In this way they had
plainly forfeited their rights of inter
ference with the cable line.
Yesterday I afternoon , Mr. Woolworth
spoke ngainit the dissolution of the in
junction. Ho was followed by ; Mr. 1'rit-
ehett.
CRUSHED \ run
A Tramp JUllod in Attempting to
Hoard a Train.
Ono of those unavoidable , accidents
which will Dhappcii now
and then occuired yesterday
afternoon on tlio cUnion Pa-
oilie track tit Gilmoro. The victim was a
tramp , who sttomptod to board freight
train No.18 , going west.
The train was just entering Gilmore
when the follow tried to pull himself
Upon ono of the rear cars. Ho slipped
and fell beneath the wheels.and before
tlio train could bo stopped was horribly
mangled. Doth limbs woip crushed to a
jolly , and ho sustained besides severe in-
jun es about the hcau and breast. He
was brought to this city , but died
befo re he could be taken to St. Joseph's
hospital. Ho is a man about thirtv-livo
years o f ago and his name is unknown.
It is supposed that tit the time ho at
tempted to board the train ho was intox
icated.
The coroner's inquest , which was hold
late last evening , developed no now fnot , .
It resulted in a verdict of accidental
death by falling under a train. The em
ployes ot the railroad company wore , ex
onerated from all blame.
THE CITY'S CROOKS.
Why Marshal Gumming Is Not Able
to Clenti Them Out.
Marshal Ciuiiflfmgs is very indignant
because Mayor Boyd has been releasing
Borne uofc > rioii3 thieves and vagrants
whoa the police had taken especial
pnlnfl to capture nnd convict.
D"\V'lmtls the use , " hosixIilBto a repor
ter yesterday , "of our trying to convict
tliosc men if the mayor by a stroke of his
pan releases them ? Ho a ml Ins friends
will taun t mo with not being able to spot
these thi evesl thugs and hard diameters
generally. Yet when wo do arrest them
and the city goes to the expense of con
victing and jailing them , Boyd turns
around nisd lets them loose on tlio nity
aga in. Is that the kind of encourage
ment I ought to receive ? What can uo
exported ot the nolieo force when the
mayor will directly antagonize- and undo
Its work ? "
Marshal Cuminings named ever some
of the hard characters who had boon re
leased by Mayor Boyd within the past
few weeKs.
Tuesday ho rcleasscl Edward Dull , a
young man who has guinea an unenvia
ble notoriety as a thief. Ho has been ar
rested several times , on two occasions
for stealing whips , harness and lap robes
from his employers. The last time ho
was commuted and sentenced to thirty
days in the county jail. Mayor Boyd has
turned him out again.
J. K , McGulre , an ox-penitentiary bird
and notorious sneak thief mm burglar ,
was cleverly captured bv the potico fo.i
bidding a harness , committed and sent
up to tlio county jail for a long term.
Mayor Boyd ordered his release.
James Bongs and John Sharp , the two
) uen who assaulted A. L. Strung with
Mono * and brickbats , wore also released
by the mayor. The police had spent long
hours in ferreting out the details of the
case agaiiibt those two oflonders.
William Kelly , another professional
crook nnd vagrant , was ordered released
by "hin/.onoiv1
Clias. Kirk , n crook and vagrant , well
known in police circled , was arrested and
given a rather expensive jury trial lust
ing a day , the jurymen all being fair and
impartial citizens. He was convicted
ml sentenced to three months. The
mayor's pun turned him loose upon the
townag.un .
Patrick Hockbnd , the infamous wife
beutor and sot , was arrested for assault
ing Mrs , R. Ills olluiiio was aggra
vated bv an uncalled for assault on the
marshal , Ho was convicted and sent to
the county Jail. Mayor Boyd very
promptly released him ,
John L. Gideon , tlio B. & M. ticket
buyer ; Victor Glenn , n drunken , dissolute
fellow who incited a riot on lower Douglas
Btroat one night * . J. U. McNeil , convicted
of stealing $ J5 ; Phillip Carey and 1'liillip
MoEutoo , arrested for stealing , nro a few
other subjects of the mayor's ill advised
ckmumoy. In ibis way , the marshal utid
his friends claim , the mayor is undoing
tlia work of the police lorco. Not bo-
caiiRo ho is deliberately inclined to aid
the. crookf ; , but because ho is imposed

FACTS "ANjTplGlWliB.
A Few Comment * oti the Wonderful
Growth of Omalin.
"Tito prosperity of Omaha Is sgmo-
thing wonderful , " s.tid a getttlumuu well
posted on rortl estate matters to n reporter
yesterday morning. "Sho is growing at
a rate which promises to make her a city
of 100,000 Inhabitants within three years.
Nowhere Is this growth more remarkably
illustrated than in the demand for houses.
Why , do yon know thcro arc practically
no houses In this city to rent to-day ? It
is a fact. I know of ono real estate linn
which rents over 700 houses.
They have not a half-dozen empty houses
on their list to-day. I know another
Ilrm which rents 200 houses. They
have not a single desirable house
to rent. Tills is true , notwith
standing the fact that now houses
arc going up at an unprecedented
rate all over the city. The fact is that
there never has been so much housebuild
ing hero as at the present time ami there
has never been such a demand for houses ,
large or small , as at the present time.
Both of which facts go to prove that the
ratio of the increase of our population
was never so large as at the present Unto.
People come in here nnd they actually
beg us to find them something to live in.
"Somo bilious cr.inks speak of Omaha
people being crn/.y about real estate.
That is not so. Wo are simply enjoying
a good , healthy boom , and that is all.
Now just listen to a compari
son between Omaha. Kansas
Citv nnd Minneapolis , three
representative western cities. In Omaha
there Is a trltlo over 100 real estate tirms :
in Minneapolis there are about COO and
in Kansas city about 475. In round num
bers there nro 259 platted additions to
thy city of Omaha. Kansas City lias
about 000 and Minneapolis between 800
nnd ! )00 ) additions. So that you see our
proportion of platted additions Is not any
larger than it ought to bo. It is a
curious fact , however , that the
additions to the city , extend
almost from the Sarpy county line on the
floutli to within throe miles of the Wash
ington county line on the north. A re
cently platted annex to South Omaha lies
within siglit of the Sarpy county line ,
and from that addition to'tlio north linn
of Florence there is an almost continuous
string of city lots. The distance between
the north and south lines of these addi
tions is a distance of over fifteen miles. "
031AI1V FAIR ATTRACTIONS.
Some of the Qtnlnt Attractions I'ro-
vltluil hy the Pair Iloaril.
The Omaha fair board announces that
entries of all kinds are being made to the
fair , and that some of them are by men ,
who , becoming dtssatisticd with the man
agement of certain departments of tlio
late state fair hero , have refused to enter
for three years back. These are again
going to make their appearanco. Others
are demanding stalls and quarters for
trom twenty-live to fifty entries. Blooded
horses are coming from as far us eastern
Illinois , and several colts from that sec
tion have already entered in the colts'
race. There are two colt .stakes , and
each of these comprise ten o.xcellentsam-
pies , and all of tliese are reputed to bo
in excellent condition.
Besides these , the secretary announces
that they will have on exhibition the
finest collection of Black Hills .specimens
over gathered together , prominent
among which will bo specimens of the
rich and mammoth mines at that place.
The tin samples alone will bo particu
larly interesting because they come from
the purest tin mine in the world. Besides
these also , the late Captain Ctawford's
Indian curiosities anil evidences of A/.tec
civilization , collected by him during his
years of service in the army and amongst
the savages , will bo on exhibition in tlio
art hall. This collection comprises about
two hundred pieces , and is the most
quaint and pcricot thing of the kind in
the country. These two exhibits will bo
open in the morning free to'everybody. .

OTucsday two { painters employed Joy
Messrs. Hunt & Kyley , painters of this
city , while working upon tlio now depot
of the Missouri Pacific at Lincoln , fell
to the ground and were severely injured ,

that the men won * too dangerously injured

Honoring the Athletes.
The Gorman citizens of Omaha are con
siderably elated over the success which
our turnverein achieved in St. Joe , and
are grateful for the advertisement Omaha
received by that achievement. By way
of recognition of these facts , it is the in
tention of the loading Germans to tender
the voroin a grand reception. A meeting
of certain gentleman will bo held to-day
night ; to makolj arrangements for the
event , and as it is the intention of ( lie
parties interested to make it a grand at-
fair , the night outlined for tlio event is
ono week from next Friday. This is an
appropriate manner In which to welcome
back tlio successful young men.
Collins VH. Gilbert.
Superintendent Collins , of the gal
works , with regard to the statement ot
Gas Inspector Gilbert , says that thcro
are about four hundred gas burners in
the street lamps of this city , and that
three hundred and ninety of them at
least burn two , throe anil live feet of gas
per hour more than the contract calls
for. Thd gas company are required to
furnish but live feet per hour to each
burner , while they have boon furnishing
as many as ton. To save this waste ho
put on the governor burners. Gilbert
was awara of this some time ago. Col
lins claims ho can demonstrate the truth
of his assertions ,

PATROLLING IN HIS SLEEP.
Ono Honest Poltccmna Tells a Story
on Himself.
Savannah ( Ga. ) Ncrws : "How docs this
weather suit you for-working n bent ? " a
policeman wns nskcdJnst night. Ho was
sitting on a railing in n square resting
and wishing It was time for thp relief to
bo coming out. "This does very well , "
the ofllccr replied , "It is the hot weather
that I don't like , The men can stand
this all rteht , but the hot , dry days put
them on the sick list. 1 had rattier do
two hours more duly on the coldest ,
rainiest night In winter than take the
regular hours in the day time. \ on have
got to walk ii ] ) and down thn street , no
matter how hot it is , with your coat but
toned up to tlio neck , ami try to look
cool when you feel a if vou were 150 de
grees in tlio shade. Tho'only thin/j is to
take the shady side of the block. Really ,
the force ought to bo supplied with sun
umbrellas. If it is hot at night u man
can open his coat nnd sit down
once in a while to cool oil' . A
hot night is mighty apt to niako a fellow
sleepy , and if ho is not careful ho will bo
asleep before ho knows it. You would
not think It , but many n man goes to
sleep standing up , and sometimes when
it is raining , too. 1 have often found
myself leaning up against a doorwavor
post and couldn't tell how long Innd
been there. One time I remember I was
patrolling Bay street. It was n windy ,
rainy night , and about 10 o'clock the
rain turned to sleet I had been up nt the
court two mornings in succession and
Lhad been caught on lire detail one night
the same weeK , so 1 \\ns pretty well worn
out , sleepy and tired. 1 was nt West
Broad wlien It struck 11 , nnd I calcu
lated that I would meet my relief on my
way back. When 1 woke up I was com
ing up ( jas llaiii-e hill. It was dark and
1 could not tell what time it was , so 1
hurried on and at the lirst lamp I looked
at my watch. It was twenty minutes
after mldniirht. 1 had walked the whole
.length of the street and had been down
the hill and along the cotton presses. I
had missed my relief and Host no time
getting back up tlio streot. I said that I
had been after a man who was acting
suspiciously and did not let on that Iliad
been asleep.
"Tho funniest experience I over had ,
though , was last month. I came on ono
hot night nt 12 o'clock. The stars were
out , but it looke.d like rain oil' toward the
southeast. At 2 o'clock I mot the ser
geant who was on duty , and I parsed on.
There had not been a drop of rain , but it
was quiet and sultry. At 3 o'clock 1 M-oko
up soaking wet. 1 was walking along the
street , and for two minutes 1 could not
think what was the matter. Thcro was
too much to have been caused by pro-
spiration , and 1 did not believe 1 bad
been over in tlio river. Finally 1 got my
eyes open , and , looking around , 1 saw
the street full of water. It was perfectly
clear overhead , tout there was no mis
take. It had boon raining hard , and I
bad been walking through all the shawcr
without waning up or getting in a door
way. "
A PECULIAR INCIDENT.
A Crash Which Caused Two Sleepers
toilnvo SimllariDrcnms.
"Dreani3 are funny things , aren't
they ? " exclaimed : i traveler on the Min
neapolis and St. Louis train to a St. Paul
Globe reporter. "Now , of that rapidity
ot thought , that loading up to an acci
dent is what 1 consider most remarkable.
Not lonjj ago I was on a visit to a cousin
and while there another cousin , a don-
tor , camo. I had the only spare
room , and of course the new arrival was
sent in to sleep with mo. Wo had the
bed with its head up against the door ,
which bad a transom a good sized tran
som with two big panes or glass. During
tlio llrst night the transom fell down
and we were : iwnkcn < id from a sound
sice ) ) by our faces cracking through the
glass.
"Scared ! Well , I should say so. But
the funny part of the thing tvas the dif
ferent way in which our mental powers
accounted for the very same physical
sensation breaking glass and more or
less scratching and cutting , but nothing
serious to cither. 1 was a traveling man
even in my sloop , and when the crash
camo. which , of course , was only a second
end before wo were wiJq awake I
dreamed I was on a sleeping car and
was enjoying a lower berth. I thought
the train had jumped the track , ancfin
trying to look out and see \vhat was the
trouble , I was tnrown against the win
dow glass , and awoke.
"Now , the doctor dreamed , as he in
formed me , that ho passed into a trance ,
and while thus powerless to move ho was
placed in a casket ami prepared for a
narrow little homo beneath the sod. He
had been reading of a similar case , nnd
. the details were first in his mind. In his
dreamy troubles ho thought that just as
the sorrowing relatives were about to re
move him and the casket from the old
parlor ho broke out in n profuse per
spiration , and the result was that , the
room being warm , steam was generated
in the casket and the glass face-covering
was broken , the pieces of glass naturally
falling over Ins face. Now , there was
ono and the same accident , and two pco-
plo similarly affected by it expressed it so
differently in their dreams. "
Tlio TruVoler Who Know the Ttopoa.
Chicago Herald : Two travelers who
hart struck up an acquaintance while enjoying -
joying a supper on one of the Burlington
route's special dining jars sat in the
smoking room telling htorics as the train
slowly crept westward over the great
bridge spanning the Mississippi river.
"i feel as if 1M like a good drink , " said
ono of tlio travelers , "tho train slops
twenty minutes at Burlington s'poso we
go and get ono. "
"All right , " said the other. But , sud
denly bethinking , he added : "No. I
guess wo won't ' got a drink in Burling
ton. Don't you know that wo are now Hi
