Judiciary. KKI'OHTS OF COSIMITTEKS. A la nro number of reports were.made by committees , among which were the folowing } : To authorize the police com mission to order twenty-eight telephones For the use of the signal boxes ; to make tliu vvoight of bread sixteen ounces to the loaf. THE CHIEF OF POLICK DISCUSSION. The report of the committee on police , recommending that the official bond of W. F. Soavey as chief of police bo ap proved , was presented. A motion was made thnt it bo adopted. Mr , Ifuscall onposcd to ! motion. Ho asserted that the police commissioners haJ boon "too previous. " They had no authority , in his opinion , to act until rules and regulations should bo adopted regarding the department under their direction. Ho quoted passages from the charter , which ho claimed supported his position. Mr. Alexander favored the motion. Ho stated that when the charter bill was signed by the governor it became oper ative law. No ouo would question Gov ernor Thayer's power to appoint the com missioners. Nor could anyone question the right of the commission to go ahead nnd do their duty as the charter prescribes it for thorn. Ho read from tliu charter the section relating to the powers ana duties of the board. Ho said no hoard no objection to the appointment of the chief of the lire department. That was all right. Ho had it frornfmcmbcrs of the council that had another appointment had been made for chief of police , this opposition would never have arisen , and the appointment would have been winked at , This was purely a personal matter. Ho waived the floor for the pur pose of obtaining the opinion ot the city attorney. Before the city attorney had opportu nity to present his opinion , however Mr. Hascall again had the floor. Ho claimed that when the qualifications of persons to bo appointed had boon designated by ordinance , then and not till tnen could the board exercise its powors. Ho read from the charter what ho deemed sup ported his position. Ho assorted that the board ought to act in unison with the departments of the city government. When regulations for their department had bcon established by ordinance then they might go ahead ; until then they had no right to net. Mr. Burnham supported the action of the board in a logieal argument. Ho con tended that the sections of the charter upon which the commissioners had acted was mandatory. That which the oppon ents of their action quoted as premises was entirely advisory. The part which had boon road by Mr. Alexander , in sup port of the action by the commission read in every instance : "Tho board shall , " etc. Tliat which was quoted by Mr. lias- call was attached to a "may. " Because the governor would not bo controlled by certain influences of the appointment of this commission and because , later , the commission would not bo controlled by the same , this opposition had bcon in cited and members of the council had become - como parties thereto. The governor had appointed gontlomnn as commissioners against whom tharo was no breath of criticism. They had proceeded , under competent legal advice , in the discharge of their duties. They had submitted a set ot rules and regulations ( for adoption by the council that they rniclit have the cll'ect of ordinances ) , which had bcon compiled from the regulations deemed most useful from experience in the cities of the cast and west. They ought to bo supported by the counoil instead of being opposed. Mr. Hascall again obtained the floor and , after a few remarks , presented two ordinances which pertained to the sub ject under discussion and asked that the ru Irs be suspended that they might be introduced. Upon motion bv Mr. Lee the rules wore euspoudod , four council- niou voting yes , one no , and twelve re maining silent The ordinances were then introduced. The ono relating to the police department provides substan tially us follows : There shall bo u chief , two captains , four sergeants ami sixty policemen. To receive an appointment for any of those otlices the requisites are : Two years' rosldunco in tno city ; legal electoral rights ; under fifty years of ago ; live foot seven inches high ; sobriety , courtesy , specilicd knowledge of the English lan guage , spoken nnd written , and good physical and moral characteristics. The chlnf ot police shall give & bond for f 11.000 ; each of the captains and ser geants a bond for f 1,000. The captains shall receive flOO per month each ; the surgoaats $00 , and the policemen f 75 for the first six months of service and | 30 af terward. The board ol fire and police shall bo entitled to a clerk nt $75 per month. The other ordinance makes it neces sary that each member of the police and lire board shall give $1,000 bonds. It will bo noticed that the two voars residence is chiefly aimed at Chief Sea- voy , and that the bond of chi6f of police is put at $11,000 , a somewhat pectiliar amount , but explainable when it Is ro- membcrcd that ho has already given a bond for flO.OOO. Thcso ordinances were read a first nnd a second time , and , upon motion of Mr. Lee , referred to the committee on judici ary , despite the fact that Mr. Leo is a member of that committee , being fts o- elated with Mr. HaseallandMr. mtrham. The commute stain's ' two to ono oil the ordinance. The appointment of St. A.D. Batcomb as three years member of the ' board of public works was confirmed , 18 to 5 ; of C. E. Mnyno as a two year member , 17 to 1 ; and of Louis Homrod ' for. ' ono year , 10 to 2. Thooillcial Bond of William Farms , meat inspector , was approved. SK1SNINU IT BACK. Mcssis. Lowry and Snydur , the major ity of the committee on gas and electric light , presented a report in which they desired to recall the report of a week ago in favor of the Nebraska and Kansas gas nnd heating company ordinance anu ottered a substitute ordinance , which favors the company named just ns much1 but dis criminates against the present company more. It was referred. The council was still listening to the reports of committees nnd hau'ttot ar rived at the really serious part of the evening's business when the clock point ed to 11:30 : tJ. m. Adjournment was taken until to-niget at 8 o'clock. XIII3 DAVVK 1'liA.YElTnASE PALL Scribes and I'lmriHaioalJ Advertising Accnta Cross lints. The Omaha base ball grounds were the scene of a most exciting contest yester day afternoon. Nine stony-hearted solic itors of advertisements nnd money changers from the counting rooms of the newspapers in Mio city bcguilcd'niuu cul tivated , polished gentlemen \vho wield the Faber saber nnd evolve brilliant and amusing ideas from their observations , into meeting on the diamond yesterday and then waved the tar out of them. The score was 25 to 11 when the bloody fray was concluded. The umpire was dead , but that was an expected incident. The game was particularly noticeable for the frequency and readiness with which the members of the journalistic nine changed positions. During the progress of the contest only well water was furnished to the players. This was a preconcerted arrangement with the chief of polico. On the return to the city , however , the party stopped at the Columbia broworv of Stor ? & Her , and there several professional games were played. A palatable lunch and re freshing refreshments wore tendered the ball-scarred veterans and duly appre ciated. Another game Is on the bills for a week hence , when Tanner will have secured anew now pair of pants , Hunter brings the missing bat back , and Manning trains down to 250. Thfl Painter * . A meeting of committees fr.om the master painters and the- painters union was held at the former's hall , on Six teenth street , last evening , when a full and final settlement ot the ditlerouccs heretofore existing between them was made on the basis of $2.75 for nine hours. The non-union painters are desired to call a meeting for the purpose of conferr ing with a committee of the Painters union , with a view to establishing a work- ng card and other matters of import ance. General O'Noll. A movement is on foot In this city to raise funds for the purpose of erecting a monument over the grave of General John O'Noil. His remains rest in the Holy Sppulchor cemetery , and it seems that Irishmen in this city should have some regard for the memory of the only man who shed blood for their cause dur ing the excitement of the last twenty years. O.Nicl was not a paper warrior whoso bravery was at great heat on the eve ot election. Somebody is Mistaken. During the council meeting last even ing Mr. C. E. Squires , of the Asphalt company , jnado a few remarks in which he said that ho wanted the council to de cide what authority the board of public works and what authority the city engi neer had on paving contracts. There had bcon a conflict of authority winch had caused stoppage of work. Engineer Tillson and Mr. House both thereupon stated that there had boon no conflict be tween them. No Ucail-HoactB. George Canficld lust night received the following telegram from Buffalo Bill , in London : On our fourth Monday crowd so densn wo had to clvo three performances. I'layett to over 100,000 paid people.

Poarno , of the B. & M. , has some rare bills ; such as fifties on the Bank of'Kentucky dated in 1814 and others from Lexington , Ky. , which carry interest from 1837.

Ijanntrr'n' ' ( 'Appearance ' Lat i NlRlit 'hWho ' noytl. Mrs. Langtry'a' , ppoaranco at the Boyd , last evening , ) was made in "A Wifo'3 Peril. " The heroine , Lady Ormond , in no sdnsotroscmblos Galatea , the character iu iwJiich Mrs. Lnngtry made her initial Uppearanco In this city. There is but ono Abt In the piece , m which the audience 'Las an opportunity to judge of the histrionic powers of the star. That Is Uio [ third act , when the idiotic "fricudship'Uof a tender , SUB- ceptlblo yet faithful wife has boon mis understood by th .fr'lbml of her husband , to that degree thai' h6" feels at length en couraged to make an afowal of his wicked passion. The danger of her position be comes apparent and with the determina tion of a weak yet loving nnd lovable woman , Lady Ormond spurns the advances of her admirer , denounces his perfidy and la happily saved from further insult by the supposed arrival of her husband. In this scene Mrs. Laugtry throw oil' the restraint under which she had thus far labored. Her repulses of the advances of her deceitful friend were womanly and forcible , and not the least appreciated because they savored moro of natural indignation than they did of molo-dramatie force. For this work the lady was rewarded with a double recall. In the earlier acts the audience saw little of the heroine. When U saw her nt all she appeared the Innocent , yet fascinated victim ot the garish hypocrite whom she later saw unmasked. In the last act , her simulation of Intense augush lest her in discretion should bo discovered by her husband , was acceptably done , though , nt times , she bc'raycd a lack of sustained power which detracted from her work. Mrs. Langtry's power lies in her eyes. Ilcrphysicial charms do not entrance upon the .stage. But with her eyes she can move oven an anchorite. Mrs. Lungtry's toilets wore universally admired , though they failed to inspire the rupture which previous announce ments , coupled with the name of Worth , lind predicted. The most beautiful of tiiosc was n light green brocade velvet on train , with side panels , lengthened to meet the train , of gold encrusted em broidery , resting on pleated inalmcs of lace flounces woven with threads of cold. It was in tins Mrs. Langtrv appeared to greatest advantage.- The audience was so large that not a vacant chair wa.s to bo had in the house. POLilCK PICKINGS. Airs.

The Standard Ho view : People strive , and spend and cat the dust of the earth , like the serpent , all " into . " But that they may "get society. no society that they get into will bo a quarter so delightful and engaging as ono of Mrs. Kawdon Crawloy's little sup pers , or that astonishing "blow out" which David CopporfioloT gave at old Croukle's. Pcoplo pay much money also , and are extremely unwell , and are bitten by strange boasts and insects , irt their dcslro to travel. But , with ail their yachting , they will never roach Treasure island , nor the country of Zu-Vcndis , nor that isle where Lucian takes us , and shows us the souls of the heroes , in pur ple webs of woven air. To live with these immortal people is better than all society ; moreover , it U sadly suspected that , if wo do not make their acquaint ance in this life , wo shall never make it in the next. What says the poet ? No doubt we'll have endless procession Ot patriarchs , saces anil seers , But amid apostolic successions , We shall plno for the Three Musketeers. Mrs. Cleveland' * Photographs. The demand for Mrs. Cleveland's pho tograph is as active as it was at the time that lady first entered the white , house us its mistress. The photographer who per suaded her to give hinvsuttings for twon- ty-llvo negatives 1.187 ifdlmmcr has sold over fifty thousand , and is still printing them at the rate of 200 per day. Ho thinks that when the full J-aar of sales is up 100,000 of the pictures will bo sold. The not profit for the first eight months after the negatives were taken was $7,000 al most as much as the president received for a year's service asovornor | | of Now York. What portion of'this ' goes to Mrs. Cleveland , if any , tlo photographer omits to mention , but a man shrewd enough to secure the sittings would not bo apt to overlook the matter of caring for most of the profits himself. Proposed Fusion InlWost Virginia. The Parkersburg JCW. Va. ) Sentinel says : "Wo have reli Jjlo Information that W. M. Evarts rctamtly addressed a letter to John A. lliitchmson , of this city , urging the republicans of this state to uo-oporato with the prohibitionists in the coming election , and promising as sistance , tangible and intangible , and assuring victory for the alliance. The prohibitionists are greatly pleased and encouraged nt the news , and several of the party leaders of both sides will soon horn a conference and dotermin upon a course of action , nnd arrange the pre liminary work forco-oporution in 18 8.

A most important meeting of managers of northwestern rail roads was held to-clav. On Its results hung the question as to whether or no there would bo a bitter war.
