IN T1IE NEW COUNCIL'S ' HANDS
The Oily Governmant Passed Over to the
Now Administration.
MAYOR DOYD'S CLOSING WORDS.
Inauguration of Mayor Ilrontch Ho
AripoltiiB a City Attorney Imst
Session of tlio Council of 1880
ana Firm ofl'fiat of 1887.
Tlio Old nnd Tlio Now.
It was n state occasion iitthc new coun
cil chamber which was attended by all
of the members of tlio old and new mu
nicipal leglibtivo bodies , tlio city olliclnls
rotiriiiK and tlio city olllcials elect , iind
fully two hundred interested citizens last
evening. President Itecliel presided with
his accustomed case , and sixteen aider-
ma 'c chairs were hllud with sixteen out-
KoinKi remainiiiK , and expectant city
fathers , while seven others occupied seats
in the immediate rear. All of the retiring
and now olllclals were also present.
As a somewhat tedious preliminary it
was necessary to dispose of the remain-
in t business of the outgoing council lirst ,
and this was done with nil possible alac
rity. It will bo found subsequently under
its own caution.
Succeeding the business session of the
old council Mayor 15oytl was invited by
President Dcchel to deliver any commu
nication to the council which lie might
dcsiio. and ho therefore presented to thu
council his concluding message , which
is iriven below. Mayor Boid's message
was heartily applauded.
A recess was then taken until the jour
nal of the old council could bo com
pleted.
TUP. NKW COUNCIL IS I1OUK.
AtO:45 : the old council was again called
to order , and the journal was approved.
Councilman Daily ottered a resolution
of thanks to President liecliul and City
Clerk Southard. President Heehel re
sponded hi icily.
Mayor-elect Uroatch then came for
ward and tpoK the oath of ollicn , which
was administered to him by Judge Stcn-
berg. AB the new mayor responded "I
do. " the audience broke Into applause.
The mayor then signed his ollioial
bond , ami the instrument , for $ ' . ' . 0,000 ,
with llyron Heed and William Wallace
as sureties , was approved.
Mr. Dailey theh said : Now Mr. Presi
dent , 1 move you that this council do ad
journ sine die. The motion prevailed
and the council of 1880 was a memory of
the past
Clerk Southard in a few minutes
called the new council together.
Councilman Leo said : "As it is now onr
duty to elect , a president to preside over
us for the no\t twenty months , 1 take
much pleasure in presenting to you tlio
name of Wm. K. Mcchol. " Mr. Leo then
highly culogi cd Air. Uecholas an impar
tial presiding oOicor and genial gen
tleman.
No other nominations were made and
Mr. lieehel was elected by a unanimous
voto.
voto.Mr.
Mr. Bephcl said that he regarded the
election on this occasion as a triple
honor as it was the third time ho had
been thus dignified. If the past was any
criterion of the future ho would assure
the council lhat he would use his best en
deavors to extend impartiality and justice
to all.
Mr , H.iiloy placed in nomination for
city clerk Joseph U. Southard. Mr.
Southard was elected by a unanimous
vote and briolly returned his thanks.
Mr. Hascall presented a motion to ad
journ , but withdrew it in view of two
communications from the mayor. The
following were the communications :
Appointing Morris Morrison , John II.
IJutler and W. 11. Spaulding as ap
praisers on land adjoining Lake street
which is taken in widening that street.
Confirmed.
Appointing John L. Webster as city
attorney.
Councilman Leo moved that this communication -
munication be referred to the committee
on judiciary.
Councilman Ford moved as an amend
ment that the npi > olntnicnt be immedi
ately continued , lie said that all of the
councilmen know Mr. Webster us well
now as they would in a week.
Councilman Leo said it had been an es
tablished custom of the council to refer
all appointments to the judicary com
mittee and it ought not to be overridden.
Furthermore , ho did not think that to
confirm an appointment of city attorney
in a minute was puying proper respect
to a faithful city official who , as city at
torney , had saved the city hundreds of
thousands of dollars City Attorney Cou
ncil.
ncil.Councilman
Councilman Hascall said ho thought
that immediate disposal of such an ap
pointment scorned to him too hasty.
While ho had no disposition to antago
nize the mayor , ho thought it would bo
but proper to await until the council
could have at least one committee meet
ing.The
The amendment was lost and the
motion to refer prevailed.
The official bonds of city ofiicials
wore presented and accepted. The bond
of John llush. for city treasurer , is for
$ ' , ' 00,000 With Fred W. Gray , M. Toft ,
Patrick Martflng , Dennis Cunningham ,
Lewis 8. Reed and Michael Donovan as'
Mircties.
Councilman Manville introduced the
first ordinance of the now council , it
being for the location of water hydrants
at the intersections of twelve streets and
in the center of Twenty-fifth street.
Councilman Leo introduced n resolu
tion declaring the standing committees
of tlio council to be these on judiciary ,
finance , claims , grades and grading ,
streets and alleys , police , public property
and buddings , fire and waterworks , gas
And electric lights , sidewalks and

Miiyorjnoyd'H Valedictory.
Gentlemen ot the City Council : In com
pliance with an honored custom , and in con-
foHi'lty with the law , at the close of my second
end term , I heiewith submit a Kcnoral state
ment of the situation and condition of the
city In relation to Its government , finances
and Improvements. It Is not my Intention
to enter Into any lengthy dissertation , but In
the briefest manner possible Rive > ou a
synopsis of what has been accomplished dur
ing the past two j ears , and of the condition
of city aiT.Urs at tlie present time. Before
dolnc so , however , allow me to congratulate
you , and through you the people of the com
munity , upon the almost manclous rapidity
of the croth of. Omaha , the standing It has
attained In the coniinei rial world , the general
hoalthfiiliicss ot its inhabitants , and Its free
dom fiom calamities by tire or other causes.
At the commencement of my administration
1 found a floating Indebtedness of over
Sl'AOOO , for the payment of which , at the
election ot 18S5 , bonds to the amount of
SlUO.ouo were voU-d ; 8103,135 were rcall/cd
tiom the sale of said bonds , leaving btlll an
indebtedness of ovur Siii.OOOhlch was paid
out ol the general fund. The treasurer's i ex
port shows n total bonded indebtedness of
Sl,04Si > , and of this them Is still In the
p < ivlii fund S2b,2l'J.l. ) Contracts lor paving
aie alie.uly let whereby this lattei amount ,
and perhaps two or three thousand dollars
more , will bo requited for the pay
ment of paving intersections. It IMS been
the policy of the city council and mayor at
all times to keep within the limit ot cxuoucli-
ture and no liability has been Incurred be-
joud the sum at our dlsposil. The financial
condition of the city Is in the best possible
hhape , its credit Is high In the money
centers , bettei to-day than ever before.
While It Is true there are some unpaid bills
outstanding Micro are cnouzh In the special
and judgment funds together with the
amount which will be reserved as purchase
money foi Htrips ot streets \aeated and
oideied sold to adjoining property holders to
mote than p.iy all obligations.
noAiii ) or pum.ic wonics.
By an examination of the report of the
chairman of the board of public works , it
will be seen that during the mint yo-ir thorn
were expended for ctwling $ Hj.i.ViO ; pa\lng ,
SIHI.OOO , dhided as follows : bO,200 yards of
cedar block pi\ement : ; 17,000 jards of Colo-
ratio sandstone and -Ci.lKX ) of asplmltum.
For seu eiaige thu sum of 31U0.400 was ex
pended and for curbing and guttorlni ;
S50.700.
Two viaducts over the railroad tracks were
constructed ( which will greatly inure to the
advantage and safety ot the leshlents In the
houthern part of the city ) at a cost of
fcllS.Gci. ! . Other expeudituies for sidewalks ,
cross walks and about § ! , bOO on account ot
thu city hall building 111 make the total for
all purposes expended during the past fiscal
yearo\or Si > 00uoo. All the work done has
neon of the most substantial clmiaeter and
the city has recehed lull value for eveiy dol-
lai ot this amount
The board ot public works Is , in my opin
ion , one of th most important departments
of the city government. Upon It rests the
responsibility for the faithful performance ol
nil connactotk , and 1 cannot too highly
compliment Its present chairman for the olli-
clent manner In which ho has tilled the posi
tion.
ENCTlNKEItlNO DKI'AnTMKJfT.
The cltv engineer's report will .show you
the kiudand magnitude of the puullc im-
pro\ements , thu substantial character of
which has attracted attention of citizens not
only otMlssomi river towns but also of these
of eastern cities.Ve have altogether four
teen und three-tourths miles of paved streets ,
one and a third miles of pa\ed allcjs and
thirty miles of sewerage , the total cost of
which exceeds the Mini of two and one fourth
million dollars. This , for a city that live
years ago was without pavement or sewer
age , Is cuitalnly creditable to those who ha\e
bceu In the management of Its : > flairs.
suriiiiNTKMixr ; : OF mm.w.vos.
From the report of the superintendent of
buildings , It will bo seen that tor the nine
mouths ending March Ul , IbbT , thniusnio
permits Issueu for the erection ot I-/ ! build
ings at an estimated cost ot about § 1,000.000.
Since the creation of this ollico a better class
ot buildings Is belui ? erected. The foes col
lected , 1 think , art ) too high , as they more
than pay the cexponses ot the ollico and
should bo reduced. Mho woiklng force
In this doparment must bo Increased ,
temporarily at least There aio many val
uable suggestions In this report which will
require the attention of the next council.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Our public schools have long been the pride
of our citizens and the wonder and admira
tion of strangers who visited us. The ex
penditure for the year 1630 was S2GVM3.05.
ot which amount gl07s > ll.05 were outalued
from license and linos. From the same
source the present year the amount will x-
ceeu SiW.ooo. Our schools being entirely under
the control of the board of euucatlon , the
mayor and council have but little else to do
than to provide funds for their maintenance ,
which has always been done in the most
w lllliii ; and liberal manner. Indeed 1 am
confident that more Is spent , and will be
spent , In the education ot childien by this
city In proportion to Us population , thau by
any other in the United States.
Under the new charter the polleo depart
ment of the city will be re-organUed and thu
number of men Increased. The force at pres
ent consisting of forty men Is entirely too
hinall , and. under the ccrcumstances , the
only wonder is , that such good order has been
ss generally pre.erved. . With few exceptions
the men an * Intelligent and capable , but as
"a stream cannot rise higher than Its foun
tain head , " neither can u body of men bo
vigilant and ofliclent when conttolled by
Ignorance and stupidity.
LAW llKPAIirMENT.
There are 157 suits now against the city ,
Involving the sum of { 2 ji,0ii.4i ; ; During my
term of ofllcu claims against the city aggru-
catlng the sum of S'JUi.44l.U ( have been dis
posed of , the city Ulng held not liable to the
extent of ono dollar.
The balance now remaining In the judg
ment fund Is 8iiUH.43. : This fund would.
have been practically Intact but for appro
priations made for the payment of damages
awarded by appraisers for opening streets ,
etc. , In case * where the parties appealed and
subsequently accepted the amount of the
award.
The city attorney has been active In prq-
curlne evidence In every rase , and the law
department hiisbttsn managed with signal
ability and assiduity.
Wo have thus far reviewed the progress of
our city und we now come to the report of
the lire department. By this It will bo seen
that for the year ending March SI , IbW the
number of alarms was LIT and tha total lost
fliiSSiO. The expenditure of the depart
ment for all purposes was 40.986.23. The
Ore department as at present organUed Is
bout as efficient aslt could be , autl 1 ac
count for this on the grouid that the chief
lias been allowed to choos&hls own men and
bojudgo of their capability.
The supply and pressiirchot water for lire
purposes has not been ( entirely satisfactory.

hydrants In the vlrlnlly of-nnd for ome dis
tance this side of llangrotn jnrk and nlso In
the vicinity of Tenth and. Castrllar streets
arc of but little avail.'This matter will re
quire the Immcdlatn attention of the Incom
ing mayor and council. IJnclnes will have
to bo used to protect stirh portlonsof thoclty ,
or else a system of stand pipes must bo
erected.
While 1 found It necessarv many times to
disagree with the council. 1 endeavored on
cvciy occasion to give plain and Incontro
vertible reasons therefor ; and although a
majority of the members diJTer with mo po
litically , they have In almost every Instance
sustained my ofllclal acts.
Mv one aim has beou the welfare of Omaha
and 1 liaso the nroud satisfaction of knowing
that In Micatlng ofiice 1 leave its affairs In
the very best condition possible.

1'OIdcn AM ) P1KI5 COMMISSION.
They Will Not Appoint the Chief Ini-
niodlntcly Humors.
The police anil fire commissioners met
yesterday and qualified. In ( view of
the fact that Mayor-elect Uroateh , who is
cx-olHcio a member of the board , had not
yet been inducted into ollico , no other
business was transacted. Commissioner
Hartman stated that it will bo two or
three days before the commission will
select a chief ot police.
Commissioner Bennett said : "A very
important thing for us is to get a good
chief , a good , first-class man. That's
what we have got to do. "
It was rumored late last evening that
the question had been asked of John Mc
Donald if lie would accept second place
on the police force. To this , the story
goes , McDonald asked : "Under whom ? "
The reply was , "Hutlor. " McDonald
thereupon said "No. " Whether this was
a pointer that Hutler is the coming man
may bo judged as everyone pleases.
The I'nintprn In Session.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the
painters met at Met/ hall in this city to
discuss the dilToronccs between themselves
and employers. Master Workman Win.
W. Craven presided and Secretary James
11. Hunt handled the minutes.
When the gavel fell and the audience
was seated , the sight was a .splendid
tribute to honest labor of America.
Probably no more intelligent , neatly
drcsted and orderly body of men ever
assembled. Tlio prevailing order and
quiet of the assemblage showed clearly
that uppermost in the minds of all was
the full appreciation of the situation and
the determination to meet the issues at
hand in a calm , business-like , yet deter
mined manner. Some time was con
sumed in examinations by a committee ,
and it was about 10:15 : when the master
workman called to order. Mr. Craven
then addressed the members with a few
timely remarks. 'Oi the press ho re
turned the thanks of jjho painters for the
fairness and kmduesslhey had received at
its hands. In the present ( triko tlio paint
ers had made every oll'erj to the employ
ers for a fair and equitable arbitration of
the diU'crcnccs. but in every instance had
been meet with th& plrtin "Accept our
terms or accept nonolj" "
The men who now demand an Increase
of wages are the ones , whose skilled labor
und artistic touch made the collosal
granduor which potentates feasted their
eyes upon , and monopolists onjovod , and
between them and the public was a fra
ternal tie which warranted , them in ex
pecting its endorsement ol any just and
fair demand which tbeyi hhould make.
Ho cautioned the members from doing
anything whichmjgiit bd construed
wrongfully. In the' present crisis the
painters had , to bo successful , enjoy the
endorsement of the honest citizens and
the confidence of the general public in
their good intentions. And if their de
mands should bo acceded to and they
should be successful , then if they saw lit
to celebrate the righting of a wrong.they
could do so as loyal citi/eus of their
glowing city , and , endorsed by the law
and justice loving public march out be
neath the folds ol the stars and stripes ,
the great banner of truth , liberty anil
justice. Mr. Craven's address was loudly
applauded.
Secretary Hunt reported several paint
ers still at work and the matter was re
ferred to the executive committee.
A communication was presented from
the master painters in which they agreed
to pay 27i cents per hour for lirst class
painters , pay paper hangers thu same
wages as heretofore and permitall hands ,
save these blacklisted , to return to work ,
provided the workmen should not bo per
mitted to dictate whom should and should
not bo employed.
The communication was tabled.
The master workman announced that
the executive committed had decided that
no man should go to work and that all
should to-day bo called out.
The secretary reported several applica
tions for painters to do small jobs and
the executive committco was instructed
to appoint men for the work.
Mr. Atwatur addressed the meeting in a
few well chosen words in which ho gave
out considerable encouragement and
said that the principal shops in the city
were willing to accede to their terms and
with determination and good order th
painters would succeed.
At noon the mooting took a recess and
at 3 o'clock was again called to order ,
when u number of icports of the com
mittee were receiveil and disposed of.
Thu session continued until 5 o'clock ,
when it adjourned until this morning
nt 0 o'clock.

Sam DoNodroy has commenced n suit
for divorce from his wife , Clara DoNed-
rey. The petition states that thny were
married in Clarinda , Page county , on
November M , 183'J. It charges thu de
fendant with extreme cruelty and deser
tion since February 0 , 1890. Among the
instances of extreme cruelty are enumer
ated Hie failure of tlio defendant to pre
pare the plamtilV's meals , and also that
she used the following harrowing lan
guage : "You are a round-shouldered
humpback and look like a monkey ; "
"you are a stinking , begraded printer ; "
"you dcadboat , as soon as I get $500
ahead I will leave you , never to return. "
The petition goes on to allege that Clara
did wait until she got $500 , which was
the result of the plaintiff's toil , and that
she did leave him and took it with her.

lows : William A. Gwyer vs. Mary Sivild-
ing , to quiet titln in property the plain-
