THE OMAHA DAILY 1BEE : SATURDAY. MAY 14. 1887 , THE WATERWORKS TROUBLE Bomo Interesting Interviews About tbo Recent Law Suits. A MOTOR LINE TO PLATTSMOUTH Another Case of Suicide Vive Horses Klllcd-Swirt'HlllKKcliema-I'oIIco liocnl Court News General City Now * . The Waterworks Trouble. The suit of Marshal Fluid against the City Waterworks company , an account of which was published in Thur.ulay night's HKK , has stirred up a hornets nest. In teresting and sensational developments prom'so ' to come out of the aflair before it is settled. The men who are interested with Mr. Field in bringing the suit , insist upon it that ttielr allegations of fraud are true , while Messrs. llogcrs , Dumont , Johnson and Morse , are equally positive that the charges are trumped up. Mr. S. H. Johnson , one of the old directors of the company , was Interviewed yesterday by a reporter for the UKK. In reply to a question , ho said : "Tho story about myself , Hogcrs , Dumont and Morse entering into an agreement with Marshal Field to control the interest in the old company , by hold i ing the biggest share of the stock , is all nonsense. There was no agreement on our part that no man was to sell without Retting the consent of the others. In fact , 1 have a letter from Marshal Field to show that ho would not consent to any such arrangement , as ho declared that he did not want to have any stock on hand that ho could not sell whenever ho wanted to. " "How about the story tlfat yon sold the stock to him under false representa tions ? " "It's a malicious lie"repliedMr. John son , "the stocK was sold to him In a manner fair , square and above board. " "Tho petition charges that tiio larger stockholders conducted the afluirs so as to frcc/.o out the smaller stockholders and depreciate the value of their stock ? " "That is false , too. The allalrs of the f company were conducted In such a way : that those smaller stockholders should rocolvo just as much benefit proportion ately as the larger ones. The story that the preferred stock was sold to pay on"a debt of the now company to myself , Uog- cri and Unmont is not true. This money was raised to make improvement which the company badly needed. " i "Tho fact is , " continued Mr. Johnson , 'this trouble has originated from a man ' Wlio is a sorehead , C.V. . Hamilton , of the U. S. National bank. Just to show you that this man has tried to injure the company , in its pro gressive moves , lot mo toll you of a trick ho played not long ago. This story I got from Mr. Undorwood , and I don't want you to print it as coming from mo. You sec , some time ago the new waterworks company was ncgo tiating the loan of some money on its stock. It had just about succeeded in get tine all the money it wanted in Boston , when an advertisement appeared in the linston Advertiser stating that some ono in Omaha Las some waterworks Flock to sell at par. This knocked the negotiations in the head and the money luid to bo secured at 5 per cent. No ntuno was allixed to the advertisement , but the number of the ad vertiscr's post ollico box was given. 1'no matters wcro traced down and it was found that the post oflico box was that of Mr. Hamilton. Ho is the man , I believe - liovo who is mainjy.instigating this suit. " Secretary Wylie , of the Waterworks company was also scon. In reply to a question , ho said. "Of course , wo shall obey the mandates of the court. This injunction suit will prevent us temporar ily at least from going ahead with our improvements at Florence. After the in junction is disposed of , if the result is in our favor , wo shall go ahead with our improvements. Wo are doing some work within the city which this suit will not affect. " "How about the statements made in field's petition. " "They are pretty nearly false from be ginning to end. The sale of that pro- furred stock was not made for the bene fit of any of the old or now stockholders , but simply to raise money for the now system of waterworks wo propose to es tablish at Florence. The truth is that Hamilton , Croighton , and some of the smaller stockholders arc doing every thing under God's heaven to prevent the Company from making improve ments. Tha story that these minor stockholders wcro not given any opportunity to bo present aim vote on the improvements , is false. Wo even wont so far as to admit to our meetings Mr. Kount/.o as'a represent-illvo of Air. ( Jroichton. though ho had no proxy. " "How about the lease of the company to the American Water company ? " "Well , the lease has been made for seventeen years , and the full terms of the contract will appear when wo ilia our answer in court. Wo still retain our property , and simply mortgage iv portion of our earnings for the next seventeen years , in order to raise money to make those improvements. Mind you , wo are not watering our stock wo are not increasing our revenue wo are not managing the affairs of the com pany in the interest of any ono clique. Wo are trying to raise money to make improvements in our system for the bon- i elit of the people of Omaha. No , sir , it is not true that either Mr. Undorwood or myself are either directly or indirectly connected with the American Waler company , to which tills suvcntcuon year lease has been mado. " OMAHA AND 1'LiA.TXSMOUTH. How the Two Cities Will bo United by n Now Hallway. It dovolopos that the Omaha Motor railway company , which is now laying its tracks on Twenty-fourth street and Leavenworth , is being built for no other purpose than the operation of a line bo < twcon this city and Plattsmouth , twenty miles distant. A reporter who received an inkling of the schema yesterday , met and interviewed Dr. S. D. Mercer , ono ol the directors of the company , about the matter. He said that the company pro' posed to extend its line to Plattsmouth , and would possibly have it in operation before fall , as a largo force of men were engaged in laying track. The company , lie said already had its line built from Wai' nut Hill to California street anil was now engaged in lining in the intermediate yap. From Vmton street to F street , the north line of South Oniuha , traok had boon laid. Uoforo passing through South Omaha , the company would have to meet an injunction , which had boon served against it by the city council ol that burg. It seems that the company procured its right of way privileges from the county commissioners , whereas the council of South Omaha thought that the grant should have been obtained f ron them. The company already has a continuoui right of way to Sarpy county , A miiui skirmish is being made now for a rlgnto way through Sarpy and Cuss counties. bridge will bo built over the 1'latto rive which will probably bo operated solely n the interests of the Omaha & PJattsuioutl Motor railway. Dr. Mercer said that the new lint would run. through a tract of 1,100 acre : near the city of PJuttsmoutli which hat been purchased by uu Omaha syndicate The line would then connect with the now street railway which Is td bo bhlll in I'Jattsmonth. Trains will bo run between the two cities every hour. The liuldwiu Noiseless Steam motor will bo used. SHIFT'S UIG SCHEME. What Chicago's Orent 1'nctecr lint to Say. Mr. O. F. Swift , the ( Jro.it Chicago packer arrived in the city yesterday morn ing with his assistants and architects , Mes srs. K. Welles , S. Vankirk and Il.C.Gard- nor. He came hero to look over the ground nt South Omaha preparatory to erecting his largo slaughter and packing house. Ho went early in the day to South Omaha , and spent several hours there , "surveying the situation , " in company with stock yard ollicials. Mr. Swift was met at the Paxton by a HKI : reporter , who had a short and pious- tint interview with him about his pro posed business. "I have about thirteen acres at South Omaha , " said Mr. Swift , in reply to a question , "and on that 1 propose to erect a largo system of slaughter and packing houses. There will be several buildings. First a building for slaughtering and packing sheen and cattle , a building for rendering , a building for oil , another one for a tank house , and another ono for preparing fertili/.ers. Altogether there will be live or six large buildings. " "What will bo the capacity of the es tablishment. " "Probably about 700 or 890 cattle a day , and as many sheep as wo want to kill. The cost ? It will probably bo in tlio neighborhood of $300,000 bef6ro wo got through. "When do you expect to commence work on the building ? " "Inside of twenty days at the farthest. 1 expect to have everything in minimi : order by October 1. In addition to the the other features , 1 expect to have a sys tem of car repair shops. " In reply to further questioning Mr. Swift said that as the phins had not yet been minutely determined uuon , ho could not give the details of the .struc tures which ho proposed to erect. South Omaha , ho said , had a good stock mar ket , which might one uay equal that.of Kansas City. DIED ON 1113 KNEES. Hans Nclion Avoids a Few Creditors by Strangulation. Yesterday morning about 9:30 : o'clock the body of Hans Nelson was found in the cellar of his grocery store , 812 Nortli Six teenth street. It was on its knees , the chin resting on the edge of a barrel. The noose of a small cord was fastened around the neck , and this was broken oil' , a piece of which still hung from the ceiling. Death had ensued , apparently from strangulation. Karlv in the morning Nelson said to his partner , Chris Peterson , that they would bo compelled to fail , because they could not meet their debts. The amount which they had to makogood , which was not available , was about three hundred dollars. Peterson said thai if they had to fail , they couldn't help it , and there was no reason to complain about it. Nelson then took the wagon , went out and brought in some orders , and when next seen , which was by : i clerk named Jacob Jansen , he was in the condition above described. Coroner Drexel empanelled a jury and the verdict returned was that Nelson had como to his death from hanging while laboring under temporary aberra tion of mind. The remains are now in the room of the deceased over his store. They will bo buried Sunday afternoon by the Dan ish society. Edison Electric Light System Estimates furnished. GKO. W. COSTKH , Paxton House , Omaha , Agent. THE LIGHTNING'S PL VV. It Invades a Dig Barn , Kills Five Horses nnd Blinds Two. In the midst of the heavy rain storm which prevailed Thursday night lightning struck the big horse and car barn of the street railway company at Twenty-fourth and Lake streets. Five Horses were in stantly killed and two blinded. Though thcro were quite a number of men in the stabloat the time , very fortunately no ono was injured. The lightning struck on the north part of the barn , and be yond tearing oil'a few shingles , did not hurl the structure to speak of. The total loss to the company will bo about 800. The two horses which wore struck blind wore not injured otherwise , and will bo fairly serviceable. A Soldier. Thomas O'Connor , the veteran citizen and ollico holder in this community , bus received information that his brother Luke , a distinguished ollicer in the ser vice of England , has boon retired with the rank of major general. Luke O'Con nor was ottered the governor generalship of Canada at ono time , but refused it , pre ferring to DO on active sorvico. In spoaii- ing ofhiin the London Times says : ' It is announced that the next liath Gazette will include that gallant sol dier , Luke O'Connor , who when sergeant at Alma , was ono of the lirst recipients of the Victoria cross. Ho has recently retired from the service with the rank of major general. " Cottage colors ready for use in now and desirable shades.

The Eleventh street viaduct is to have two electric lights , ono over the lirst railroad tracks and the other on the , north end of the truss. The viaduct will not be opou for a couple of weeks because - cause it has been decided to construct a rail between the roadway and sidewalks to prevent accidents to pedestrians from frightened teams. This rail was not con templated in the original plan. Some of it is already in place , whiio the rest has been delayed on the road. Air. House , however , has decided not to open the bridge to the public until this safeguard has been constructed. A Well Known Man Gone. Uornard Farrel , a resident of this city for fifteen years , during the greater part of which time ho was chock clerk for the Union Pacific , died Thursday night at8C : ! ! o'clock at his residence 1'JiO South Four teenth street. Ho was a mombar of As sembly 3133 K. of I ; . , and widely and favorably known throughout the citv. Ho will bo buried to-morrow m Holy Sepulchre couiotory. Suliic a Ilnllroad. The suit of Charles Couoycr vs. the Union Pacilio is still In progress before Jmlgo Dundy , of the United States court , The plaintilVsuos for fiO.OOO damage * , on account of Injuries sustained by his sou , who was run over by a train , Judge Horka disposed of a trivial nusl , ness in police court yesterday morning' Ed.

Professor Palmer , llio Omaha mind reader , is fast becoming expert in his work. Yesterday ho gave an exhibition before Messrs. Englo , Kussoll and Olllcor Pulaski. The latter wrote a word in Gor man and then Palmer taking I'ulaski's hand retraced the word exactly as the olliror had written. Ho was of course blindfolded when ho did this. This test was especially wonderful as Palmer can neither speak , read nor write the Ger man language , "Tho good sense displayed by most of our workmen who are now engaged and who have refused to take part in a gen eral strike , is to bo commended , " said a merchant yesterday. "I know that at tempts have been made to stop business hero , and 1 know also that it has been done in some cases by men who have not got one dollar's interest in this city , it is too much to expect that Omaha should bo Injured because of sunh people , and I think our mechanics deserve cretlil in deciding to attend to their own busi ness. " * * * The amateurs who were "awaiting the verdict" at the opera house Thursday night have been doomed to die. Consid ering the ollenco the punishment is light. Omaha is to have a dime museum , it is said. It will bo located in the old city hall building. The lire department and police depart ment are about ready to move into their new quarters in tbo annex to the exposi tion building. The basement is to bo oc cupied by the police court and jail. HallenkaniD's riding school has been moved to a tent pitched two blocks away The "Odds and Ends" man is in pos session of the details of a salacious sen sation which concerns two young people of this qity , one of whom at least is well known , lie is a young man a dry goods clerk and something of a dude. Ho was rather smitten with a young lady who lives near llanscom park , and she well she rather reciprocated. Hut it's all over now. The other night lie * called up by telephone a woman'in a house of rather questionable repute. Ho got the correct number , as ho supposed , and a feminine voice , which ho presumed to bo that of the girl ho wanted , an swered him. Ho invited her to KO out to the Road house with him that night , and as she didn't ' seem to accept his invitation cheerfully , ho fired a vol ley of language at her which will hardly bear reproducing in cold print. This ends chapter I. Chapter II is very brief. The telephone - phone operator had given thoyoung man a wrong number and ho had been talking with the young lady of his adoration , whoso father happened to have a telephone - phone at his residence. Hut they don't 8 | > oak now cither by telephone or other wise. And it was all the operator's fault. Ulcrclmiits' Corner-Stone. Workmen are now engaged in laying the first course over the basement , of the rich brown stone which is to form the main lloor of the Merchants' National bank building. It has a dull red appear ance and is brought hero from Long Meadow , Mass. The coruer-stono of the bank was laid yesterday without cere mony , and this morning a workman was engagud cutting the hole in which is to be ulaccd the iron box which is to con tain souvenirs of the time and circum stance. The box will bo six inches wide , six inches long and nine inches deep. ItI5A.lt ESTATE. Transfers Filed Slay 12 , 1887.

"We were here tofore not able to get such a large place as we desiredand not only were we prevented from keeping the stock we intended , but we could not even properly display the assortment we did carry. We have at last succeeded in securing additional room and have leased the two floors above as also the rear part adjoining our store on 14th street. This , in addition to our present salesroom , will make us the largest clothing house in the west. The necessary alterations will crowd us fearfully , and this as well as the desire to open the enlarged quarters with entirely fresh goods prompts us in making a SPECIAL SALE , at which we will offer extraordinary bargains.
