TKE OMAHA DAILY BEE : FRIDAY. FEBRUARY i. 1887. : THEY LACKED MORAL COURACE The HOMO Defeats the Bill to Provide Clerks Tor Member THE RETinED MEMBERS A. Great Ponl of Interest Alanlfcntcd in WnnlilnRton Over tlio Indiana | p ' ; SeniUorslilp IMinunds L2x * [ [ ; presses an Opinion. Afrnld to I'lnco Tlictnsolvci on Hocortl WASHINGTON , Feb. 3. [ SpccUl Tolo- Kram to the Hen. ] A mngiilllcont oppor tunity for courageous and manly action was olfcred members of the house this afternoon when the bill providing for clerks to mem bers not chairmen of committees was called up. It Is cafe to say that nine-tenths of the hon.se , If left to act free , would support this measure. It Is what the house , In prl- yato consultation , his been howling for more than ten years. The members have boon groaning under n burden of salaries to secretaries and the outlay for postage , etc. , for jcars , nnd declaring Ihat if the oppor tunity was presented they would favor a measure of relief. IJnt by a vote of Ml lo 105 lho bouse refused lo consider the bill this afternoon nnd laid II on the tablo. Those who were re-elected last fall nro chiming to-night Ihat the votes of the defeated or re tiring members killed the bill , but that will not hold good. U was lack of courage thai did It. A great dent of Interest was raised In Washington yesterday nnd to day In the sen atorial struggle at Indianapolis. The demo crats liote from that state pretended to bo jubilant and cnnllUoul over the declaration made yesterday that Turpio had received seventy-six votes , and was therefore olectcd , but they all acknowledged that there wns good grounds for the contest which Senntor Harrison will makn. All paillamcntirlans and lawyers say that State Senator Green Smith , who has been dcclaied to bo Ileuten- tonanl governor , has no rUlit In law to act In the dual position ho occupies. They say ho Is clearly a state i.senator or lieutenant gov ernor. If the loriuer ho has no right to pro- ntdu over tlio convoiillon , and If the latter In * had no right to cast the vet which lie cast jestoiday for Turpio for United States senator , as no tie existed. Senator Kitmunds , tlio best legal authority In tlie United State * bcnnto , says Smith's action ns ptcsidlng olllcer is without authoiitv.or he voted lei Tuipiu without authorily. In either event both acts make his action void , llo believes Smith Is an usurper of the functions vvlilch should devolve upon General Hobert- BOII. the legally elected icimblican lieutenant governor. No one seems to gainsay the fact that one democratic senator ISrannatnann voted who had no right lo hi ? Heat. The dem ocrats hold that legislative bodies are judges on tliuqualUicatloiis of their own members , and nay this cannot como before the United States .senate In n contest. Bui this Is met by the republican members of the senate committee on privi leges nud elections , who .say that thU Is a lo- citlmato question for the decision of the United Slates senate vv lien the dlsiiuallliea- tion comes from constitutional or Htatutory humilities. In the faeii of the proceedings by the republicans of tlie legislature to-day It Is believed tliat Senator Harrison will bo promptly se.itod. One tliinu Is Mire , and that is , Turnio will not take his seat on prinia fnclo evidence. Itoprebcntativo li > num , who was a dark horMi for the young element of the democrats for the senate , when asked by your corre spondent this afternoon what lie tlioiuht of the Bltiiallon , said slcnlhcintlv : "Weil , 1 wouldn't give my tlile to n seal in the house for Turple's in lho senato. " A DiHc'iiAuiiKD ri.Kitic BUiomr.s. While at bttMktasl this morning the In mates of Dr. Susan A. Kdsou's house heard Bomothlng fall with a thud In the alloy adja cent. Ono of them hastily left the table and on returning said : "A man has fallen off the roof ol l.HXJ 1 street. " This proved to bo the fact nnd nn Investigation showed that the man was It. F. Keccli , aired sixty-eight years , and that ho was dead. Ho was for merly employed in tlio treasuiy depaitment Keceiitly ho has been somewhat despondent . nnd erratic , and II Is supposed Hint he went to the roof and jumped olT , hoping thus to end his tioublcs. There were .several con cussions of the forehead and the legs of the unfortunate man vvcio bioken. Coroner 1'iittcrson gave a certificate that death rcsulteU fiom concussion of the brain , 'lho deceased leaves n wife and thrco grown dauglilers. ono of the latter being married and living In No- biaska. Since his discharge from the treas ury last summer Kerch lias vainly tried to obtain other employment and his 111 luck iceins to havo'drlvon him tompoi.irily Insane , llo arose and dressed himsell this niorplng but failed lo put on his siioes , and when found In thu alley ho had on his patils. shirt , vesl and n pair of heavy yarn socks , and as ho made no noise which could disturb lho folks below sUhs there was no ono to pre vent his suicide.

The Financial Kmbarrassment of n Well Known Merchant. A surprise was created in business cir- clns yesterday over the announcement that August Dormann , the well known Thirteenth street merchant , was in linan- iinl distress and had confonsud judgment in favor of his preferred creditors.

Kami $2,000 , Louis Kaapkc , $1,500. These suits wore commenced by parties who had furnished Mr. Dormann funds to carry on his busi ness. Attachments were accordingly is- failed and Sheriff Cobnrn took possession ot lho stock. _ Tlio claim of Samuel Kalm is in reality that of Grcunsfelilcr , Koscu- baum iCo. . , of Ciiicago. to whom Doi- mann is hugely indebted. Mr. Dormann also has several local creditors , among them being Tootle , Maul & Co. , Parrotto As Co. , the Canlield Manufacturing company and the Robinbon No tion company.

Dormann estimates his enure indebtedness at about "flO.OOO and claims that his stock of merchandise will invoice $18,000 , Mr. Dormann has been in Omaha for it number of j'cai.s nnd has borne an excellent business reputation. Ho came bore from \Visncr \ , Nob. , and was for several years engaged in busi ness as a member of tlio linn of Heimrod Dormann , an I for the past three years has boon engaged in the general mer chandise business for himsoli , His fail ure is attributed to his inability to moot the feaiful competition that has marked the dry goods trade in Omaha during the past simonths. . However , a fair sotllo- ment of Ins business will secure all his creditors and nlaco him on his feet with unimpaired credit. Till : I'OMCnMAN'S PAY.
