Dear Slr--15e- : sionding ) to your request for my opinion In wilting concerning the approval of certain contracts for street paving , I can only lepcnt whut 1 have already in biibstnnce to yuu. The plan of advertising for bids for the paving contemplated tor ISStl , of course , is familiar lo you , as you had the honor , 1 believe , of suggesting the plan adopted , and which , ns a business propositioi. , I regard as eminently sound , Under Ihn plan suggested by you , the board of public works advertised for bids , requiring that nil bids bu made upon blank proposals printed and fur nished bv the board. The streets then in contemplation of being pavcU during the year 1SSO , wore expressly named in Hie blank proposals so furnished , us , for Installed : ( 'inning street from Division .street to Ilrown street. The proposal of each bidder was as fol lows : "Thmindcr.signcd propose to pave cacli os the streets herein named on such parts 01 any of said streets as shall be ordered pavc'.l during the year , 1830 , etc. " 1 enclose for your consideration , one of the blank proposals referred to The charter provision , with which we are familiar ( section ! ! ) expressly requires - quires that all paving for which a special tax shall bo levied , shall bo ltet to the iowest responsible bidder. Under Uio charter provision referred to , the question arises , as to whether streets not covered by the proposal of any bidder , and which were not then in contemplation of being paved , but have since been ordered paved , can now bo let to the then lowest bidder , without further advertising. It is claimed that as the , bond taken from the contractors required them to pave any and all streets required by the city to bo paved during the year 18SO , therefore , they are the lowest bidders for all such work. In all cases whore special taxes are to bo levied , I am disposed to advise such course as will , if possible , re move all ground for dispute or contro versy over such taxes , and with this in view , 1 would bo disposed to favor and advise advertising for bids for the paving of all .streets not included in the former bidding proposed. At the same time f freely admit that had contracts now pro posed been executed , and the work of paving done , 1 would contend for the validity and regularity of the tax. 1 understand that for a portion of the paving proposed , a majority of the property owners have expressly peti tioned that the work be done under the bjds of Murphy , Creightou & Co.of date February 8 , 1880 , and at the prices therein specified' , f fl all such piopcrty owners , th HNs'anbc no question as to the right to loRoutracts as requested , with out further advertising. A ro advertising may result in higher bids and may also result in litigation. Hut , as , to.the probabilities in this re- gardsas well as to what is for the best inter - tersts of the city , I must leave you to judge and to act according to your own best judgment. Respectfully submitted , ' W , J. CO.X.VELL , City Attorney. UUSBAM ) AND CHILD. Mrs. Sylvester Josrn Both nml * Searches l-'or Tliciu in Nebraska. "J propose to thulium if it costs me all the money I've got. " The. speaker was a young , rather pretty and well dressed woman , who was stand ing in the Union Pacific depot yotcrilay morning. She looked careworn and traveled stained , but notwithstanding Hint her appearance made her the centre of attraction in the ladies' waiting loom , in which she was sitting. To a reporter for the Hri : the lady whose name was Mrs Mary Sylvester , told her story in a manner which could not but impress one thai she wa.- telling Ihe truth. Her home , she said , was in Godfrey , Ills. 1'or seven years she has lived in that place with her husband. During all that time she had lived a happy life , and nntliing had occurred to mar lite rela tions between herself and her husband. About a year ago , Mrs , Sylvester em ployed a young woman to act as maid ol all work for hera girl by the name ol Mary Nicmulir. Though quite youn and "ignorant , she possessed atlrae- lions which made her an object of attraction to the masculine sex" . It appears that Mr. Sylvester full a victim to her charms. Of their rela tions , Mrs. Sylvester suspected ab solutely nothing , though as she has since been informed , the Mason between the two was a notorious fact among the no- quaintancc.s ot Sylvester. About ton days ace , Sylvester left his liotnu in IJodfroy , saying that hu pro posed to come to Omaha and see what opportunities for investment ho could llnd hero. He bade his wito good-bye , promising to write to her everyday , Since that time hlio has heard nothing Irom him , A day or so afterwards , tin1 Niemuhrgirl disappeared and with hei Mrs. Sylvester's only child , n litllu six- year old girl , who hail boon fondly at tached to the young woman. Mrs. S.\l- vester was driven Irantio by this unex pected turn ot alliiirs and upon making inquiries unearthed circumstances whicli led hur to believe that her husband had eonuocted a .scheme to runaway with the Nlemulir girl , taking with him thu child , She discovered Unit lie had drawn nearly all his money nut of the biuil' ' and hud quietly disposed of almost every article of ready salable property he had. Mrs. Sylvester declares that slu doc.s not care for her husband , but I s de termined to find 11 or child if possible , Shu .says her husband has friends and relatives in Omaha and Itoairlee , and shi' thinks ho is hiding in one of thcso twc places. * DIDN'T ' KNO\VTI1R TIIAOK. An Incident In tin ; Late Flying Trip in Fremont , The number of developments in tin. faH run to Fremont , by a Union Pacific special train on Monday last , is bocom- Injj of intercft. The latest s that the engineer , llouny , and the conductor , Uaile-y. have been suspended , for failing to stop at the crossing of the Missouri PacHic ro'idnear I'apillion. It seems that tlio engineer was busy at the t mo maUing steam and did not notice the crossing in question , until after he had run over it. Ho than brought his engine nnd jTJuitnniu.nvaltajiU } pr dece&tlrl In a stop , but did not rccross. Ho then continued hh Hying gait to Valley. It seems , however , that some Missouri Pa cific men were around and noticed the omission and promptly notified their MI- perlor.s. The c drought the matters to the attention of the Union Pacific olliclnls who promptly suspended both the em ployes mentioned , One of the strangest features of the episode is Hie defense which Henry makes. Hn claims that ho did not know Hint the Missouri Pacilio truck crossed the Union Pacific near I'apillion. and in support of this asserts tlmt he had not run on tlio main line of the latter road in three years. In that time he has workedMMIIO times at the BlnlV < aiid. ome. times here , occasionally ruiuilnpa switch engine and sometimes cngagcu in other pursuits. Under llicso cirouinstanecs it can readily he believed tlmt he was not aware of the crossing he had run over. ANoxnnu nitu : I-MUM. The II. T. Clni-ke Drug Company to Sell to tlMico , Itlako .t Co. For sonic time back it has been well known that representatives of the druir linn of Hruce , Hhiko & Co. , of Ottumwa , la. , have been m the city with a view to c'tablWiing a mammoth wholesale drug house in Omaha. 'I hey were prompted to thl niinc by tlio step of the Kiehard- .son Drug ( . 'ninpanx of St. Lotii.s , the Inrgcs ! linn of the kind in the country locating here. They have canvassed the situation veri thor oughly and have finally entered upon ne gotiations to pnrchasctiiostoek and busi ness interests of the well-known 11. T. Clarke drug company. The negotiations have proceeded in n satisfactory manner and yesterday a number of hands weroutuployed in : nakimr an inventory of the stock on hand. Mr. Clarke was seen byji UIB : reporter yesterday morning and in"response to interrogations from the latter said that , negotiations of Ihe naliiru suggested were pending but that ho would nave more to say concern ing the subject in a day or two , The un derstanding at present seems to be that Mr. Clarke will retain his interest in his Lincoln drug hou e , while Ihe institution here will bu sold to Hruce , Ulake & Co. This latter is a very wealthy institution , doing a larjro business in Iowa and own ing a bank in the town mentioned. mi : ouMjo.M im < r , . Omaha Merchants "Will Dlsouss It To-liny. Commissioner ( Jrillitt.s , of the freight bureau , will call a inectimr of the mer chants and business men generally for 10 o'clock : this morning , for tlio pur pose of securing some expression on Senator Cullom's interst.ilp commerce bill , which is now pending in congress. Tills is a lull providing that railroads shall make pro-ralu charges for hauling goods that is , .shall charge the same , in proportion , for making long hauls that they do for short hauls. This bill , Mr. Crillitts thinks cannot bo denounced by the bureau in too vigor ous terms. " [ ( , will cause Omaha mer chants to pay exorbitant rales. Tor in stance take the haul between Omaha and New York. Suppose a railroad charges three cents a hundred for a ten mile haul. The pro rata charge per hun dred from Now York to Omaha , assum ing 'hat the distance is 1,500 miles , would be $1.50. When you remember-that the rate at present is only seventy cents per hundred , you can realise w'hafc a state of affairs the Culloni bill , if passed , will bring about.1' 3IATTUK.S. An Important Rlcptinjiortlie Western A meeting of the Western league has been called for Saturday , .January 8 , and will occur.:1 ! Lincoln , " said ( Jeorge Kay , the well known base ball enthusiast , yes terday. "On that occasion , the question of thu admission of Uaslings into the league will bo derided. 1 Hunk it very probable that both Pueblo and Hastings will bo admitted , Inasmuch as the feel ing is that Kansas City will bo barred out. However , Kansas City may have a representative at the meeting who will prevent anything of that sort. " "If Kansas City is not refused repre sentation in the league , there will be a question to bo deeide.d as to whether Pueblo or Hastings is lo be admitted. In that event , it is probable that Pueblo will come put winner , as most of the other cities in the league are against Haslings. The question of the grounds which aru lo be used by the lioinn club is as yet un decided. Ifis expected that the matter will be definitely settled within the next two or three weeks.
