The chief then read :
Olllco ot the board of lire and nollce com
missioners for the City of Omaha :
In the matter of the charge of misconduct
of I'ollceman Andrew Crawford , conductor
of the patrol wagon , and James O'Brien ,
driver.
On the licarlni : of this matter on this --id
day of July.isyr.tliu board liuds the nature of
the offense to be two-fold :
First , belnt ; adscnt from duty about one hour
from hull-oast iito half-past 4 o'clock on the
iiiornltiK of June 8,1S97. rontrary to the rules
ot this department and without leave , cause
or excuse. Second , Improper use of the
patrol horses and waiton durinst that time In
conveyinu from a saloon and restaurant on
the corner ot Twelfth and loulas streets to
their respective homes In distant parts of the
city an editor of the llepubllcau anil three
members of the city council , none ot whom
we.ro under arrest or otherwise entitled to
the use and beiietit ot the patrol wagon.
These were crave violations ot duty and
deserve punishment.
Wo further linil that this Is the first charge
ever preferred against either of said police
men and that their general conduct has been
good.
The Kontonce of the board , therefore , Is
that Andrew Crawford forfeit his pay for the
last day of July , Ilte7 , and not bo relieved
from his ordinary duties on that day.
And that the complaint be dismissed as to
James O'lirien with the suggestive warnings
heroin contained.
The chief of police will cause this sentence
to be publicly lead at the roll call.
W. J. liroatch , George J. Gilbert , Howard
It. Smith , Hartman and Bennett not sitting.
This matter disposed of and the chief
informed the men that the rules and
regulations governing the force would
soon be printed and cuch man furnished
with a copy , whicti lie will bo expeuted
to commit , lie then read a brief synopsis
of the rules , about as follows :
TI1K ItULKS.
The oflicers will thoroughly instruct
their men in regard to their duties as
patrolmen.
Smoking , reading , lingering and con
versing with anybody on any subject
other than that appertaining to police
duty , when on duty , is strictly forbidden.
All policemen found asleep on their
beat , drinking in saloons or absent from
their beat without permission , will be
Biisuended.
No policemen while on duty will bo al
lowed to enter a saloon or any other
place of business , except his duty , aa au
olh'cor , compolls his attendance.
Every policeman is expected to make

numbers of streets and alloys and thu
entrances to every building on his beat ,
to study faces and charac
ter , especially sporting men and women ,
but criminal classes particularly. .No no-
licomau shall leave his beat without per
mission from the olhccr in command , ex
cept when a tire breaks out near by , or
bo has reason to believe a crime is going
to bo committed. No arrests should be

law or city ordinances ao violated in
thn presence of the arresting otlicers , or

with their statement ho should take the
prisoner at once to the central station.
All runaway or estray horses should be
put into the nearest stable and all dead
animals should bo reported immediately
to the central station.
The members of the old force who
have been appointed will call atmvollico

instructions.THE
THE HOUNCE.
After the delivery of these instructions ,
the chief reached into his inside coat
pocket and drnw forth a batch of notifi
cations which read like this :
Ollleo of the Hoard of Fire and Police
Commissioners , Omaha , Nob. , July 30 , lb37 ,
ToI
I am Instructed by the board of police ami
lire commissioners to notify you that your
application for appointment on thn police
lorco has been considered and denied and
that your services will not bo required on
' Bald force after VI p. m. on the Ulst day of
'f : July. IfvsT.
lly Order ot the Uoaul. Howard B. Smith ,
secretary.
Tho.su who received the o notifications
were Uiohard Kurdish , Thomas J. Casey ,
CieorgoTrnmble , Daniel Shanahan , Ed
ward Carroll , J.J. Donovan , Daniel Ken
nedy , Patrick Uillgan , David Mullrido ,
John Norman , Jerry O'Gnuly , James
O'lloyle , Thomas Poironct and Michael
Keilcy.
Kncli man glanced ever this document
folded it up and put it in his pocket
without word or comment , with the
hinglo exception of Jack Douavan , who
informed the chief that ho did not intend
to give uii his star. This was unneces
sary on Donovan's part , however , inas
much as the chief madu no demand ttiat
the dismissed men surrender their
badges. Ho simply handed ever
the notifications , accompanying thu
action with no instructions , suggestions
or commands , and then ordered them to
break ranks , winch they did eagerly ami
tumultnously , the men who were tired
evidently burning up to get out among
the fresh August zephyrs , where they
could lot otf a little steam ami express
themselves without four dl fnterforonco ,
Wnilo the now members were anxious to
get otit.too , to air their now blue togs and
dazzle the eyes of the early morning
with the sheen of their brass
Ecdcstrlans
tittons.
Concluding If there was anything of a
newsy nature to be acquired it would be
by sticking to the members that had been
tired , rather than the now ones , the
BKK man followed the former , whc
moved olVin a body , all talking and ges
ticulating at once , up Fourteenth street
to Capital avenue and down Capital avenue -
nuo to Charlie Nohor'a saloon , corner o :
Tenth street , Into which they filed
Thn reporter said to J. Dontvvan ;
"Well what about it , Jaokr"
"Nothing , only Santa Barbara didn'
cot our fituvs ftuyway , Oh , my , the f ui
then ; would have been had he undertaken
to rclavc the boys of their tin medals.
You wcro there e'xpectin1 to BCD some fun ,
Weren't you , and mo boy you would have
seen it had that thafu o' the night under
taken to take our stars. "
"Hut what do you fellows intnnd to dot
Do you consider yourself off the force or
what ? "
"Or what it Is 1 guess , " retorted Dona-
van. "No , sir ; mo lad , wo arc yet on the
force and wo'ro goin' to stay and attend
to our business as usual. We've had our
instructions from the solid twelve. "
"Tho solid twelve. Who uro they ? "
"Whatl don't yo know thlmtolicf Mul-
doons , Councilmcn llascall , Bcchel ,
Lowcry , Ford , Leo , Manvllle , Hailoy ,
Cheney , Count'/.man , Van Camp , Snydcr
and Hoyd. Why , they are tiio bosses ,
they arb the men of sense and judgment ,
and who look out for the interests of all
the people and not for a few seducers
and runaway ? from iusticol"
"And these councllmon havoinstruoU-d
you men to remain on duly , that is to go
on just as if you wcro yet members of the
force "
"That's cggsactly what wo am sir ,
mlmbers of the regular police force of
the city of Omaha. "
"And those councilmcn have instructed
you to this o licet ? "
"Indeed they have , and wo will follow
their instructions to the letter. "
"Will you make arrests ? "
"That wo will. And it yon know any
thing about the force you will know that
we are the men that generally made the
arrests. "
"Did you men anticipate your dis
charge ? "
"Kvery mother's son of us. You see ,
Hroatch says that no friend of I'nt Ford's
can remain on the force , and it is his
friends that they have pretended to tiro.
Hut we'll see how it comes out. "
" \VelI , I'm much obliged , Jack for this
information , but 1. must bo going now ,
haven't had breakfast yet. "
"Won't von take suthln" 'foro you
lave ? "
"Nothing. "
And the reporter hurried back to the
station , and hunting out thu chief , in
quired of him what would be done in thu
event that the men dismissed continued
to act as ollicers of the law.
"What will bo done , why we'll arrest
them , that's what'll be done. In person
ating an ofllcer they not only violate a
htato law , but a city ordinance as well. 1
'
don't think wo will' hare any trouble with
tlieso fellows , they are a little hot and ex
cited this morning , but'll cool down by
evening. "
"Is tHat all chief ? "
"I think so. Hut hero , you might
make a note of the fact that 1 am going
to inaugurate a regular weekly drill of
the force , commencing Wednesday or
Thursday , ana Mr. Frank Johnson , one
of the new men 'will bo drill master. We
will also have a brief drill at roll call. '
Alnynr liroatch.
The mayor had very little to say on the
matter. He considered that the com
mission had done its duty , and that faith
fully , consistently and to the best inter
ests of the city.
"Were the men who were discharged
laid oiVbccause of charges against them ? "
"Not as a general rule. Wo decided on
these discharges after thorough delibera
tion as to the members of the old 'o-co
who were thu men who could best be
spared. That is , the least cilicicut mem
bers of the forco. There were various
reasons some on account of not tilling
thu physic:1. : ! standard , others on accounf
of character , some because they could
not read nor write , etc. ' 0
Thu remark of Alderman Ford was re
peated to the mayor , who replied :
" 1 don't think that entered very largely
into the matter of the discharges. I acted
in the afl'air just the same way as I should
had 1 the sole power of ilisVliarging as
mayor. 1 wanted to rid the foroo of
bums and inolh'ciont members. I think
Alderman Ford would . do the same
thing if ho were in my place. "
City Attorney AVolister.
"How do you feel on this fight between
the police commission and the council ,
Mr. Webster ? "
"Well , to tell the truth , I have given it
very little attention in an otlicial point of
view , one way or the other. I
have ly opinion as a pri
vate citizen , however. You see
should the matter be contested it would
place me in an embarrassing position.
You see I am city attorney and have to
obey the orders of the council. I have
nothing to do with the commission what
ever. In every case where the city or its
council comes into court I have to ap
pear for them. Anyway , us I have said
before , 1 haven't been consulted in the
matter. "
The Council.
The members wore dilHcult to find , but
a number were finally discovered in
Mnurer's. There wcro there , Councilmen
liechel , Ford , Lowroy , ManvilleandLce.
"What do you know what do you think
about the discharge of the police to-day ,
Mr. bcchol ? " asked the reporter.
Mr. Hechel I don't know anything , I
haven't thought anything about it.
Mr. ManviUe had boon seen before and
remarked. "Has Turnbull been fired
too ? I thought ho would. Well , if ho
hasn't , ho will bo , because ho knows too
much. He's the host man on the force.
They don't want such a man in the po
lice. They don't want a man who is not
u d n , drunken - so that ho can go
around and - with Soavey. 1 under
stand that ono of these now inon
can't read his name , can't write by - .
Another follow has been reinstated after
having been discharged for almost high
way robbery ; another was kicked out for
drunkenness and a third because ho al
lowed a bad woman to masquerade in his
police clothes. You can just say that a
man can't get on that police force unless
ho bo just the kind of a man 1 tell you
about. "
Councilman Ford in response to en
quiries on the police question said : "I
am not at all surprised at what the com
mission has done but wo will have some
thing to say about the matter Tuesday
night. U is my opinion the old men will
bo paid and no pay allowed the now men.
It seems strange to mo that so many
good , faithful and tried ollicers have been
discharged and not only in-
ellicienl men retained , but new
ones appointed whoso characters
are not above reproach. In fact there is
ono man I know of who was on tiio force
before and ho was discharged for re
peated drunkenness while on duty. I am
informed that Mayor Uroatcli has Raul
that ho would put every man oil the
force who got ou through any in-
lluenco. Some of thorn re
main however. This was said
in presence of a prominent citizen whoso
namn I can give at any time. The men
have been ordorcil to retain their stars.
but I think the matter will bo settled
nftor Tuesday night. They will not
go ou duly to-day. "

Oxtonslvc Improvements nt the I'nx-
ton & Vtei-lliit ; Iron Work * .
The manufacturing and industrial es-
ablishmcnts of Omaha are nil in a very
> rosperous condition at the present time.
Many of them owing to their constantly
ncreasing business , are enlarging their
capacity. This is particularly the case
vith the manufacturing concerns en
gaged in turning out building supplies ,
jspecially architectural iron work ,
litherto this kind of work had to bo
lone abroad , but now it is all made in
Omaha. This satisfactory condition of
ilViirs ; in home industry , ha ? been
brought about by the immense amount
of first-class building that is being done
n Omaha. T.lio demand for iron work
nduccd the Viorliugs of Chicago to
ocuto in Omaha , anil they accordingly ,
n company with W. A. Paxton , pur
chased the T. W. T. Richards' plant , and
it once enlarged and improved it , and
mt in a big torco of skilled mechanics.
The grounds of the Paxton & Vicrling
ron works cover three acres , convcn-
ontly located between thu Uuiou Pacific
and H. & M. tracks , thus affording ample
lido-track room. The old building is
40x100 feet , two stories high , and con-
ains thn machine shop , fmi.shing room ,
much room , blacksmith shop , on the
; rqund floor , and the pattern room up
stairs. The foundry , adjoining on the
west , is10xir > 0 , these dimensions includ-
ng the doghouse and other rooms. The
cupola housetho coal room and core oven
oin the foundry , together with the clean-
ng shop. The above departments are
all included in the old plant.
A new foundry building , 05x125 , Is
jcing constru cted of brick on the west
end of tne grounds. ' The new cupola
oem , 20\pand : ) the core room and ovens ,
Mvll. adjoin this structure. These new
juildings will bo completed and occti-
nod early m September. Among the
nest latest improvements at these works
s an immense derrick , operated by
Meani , which will hoisc fifteen tons of
ron , and locate it any part of the prom-
sos desired.
Employment' is given to 105 men ,
among whom are some of the best arti
sans in the country. The product of
these works amounts to twenty-five tons
| ) or day. and with the improvements it
will bo doubled. An immense suppy of
raw material , consisting mostly of pig-
iron , is constantly kept on hand. All
kinds o farchitecturnl iron work is turned
out. Among the recent orders for
special work is one from the waterworks
company , for whom all the special cast
ings for the enlargement of its system
are being done hero. The Paxton &
Vierling company contemplate engaging
lit an early day in the manufacture of
iron pipes for gas and waterworks , for
which there is a growing demand
throughout that part of this west tribu
tary to Omaha. The first yeur , 1880 , this
concern turned out $125,000 worth of
woik. and this year its product will
amount to $250,000. The company has
invested over § 10,000 in its plant , and as
its work is equal to that of any establish
ment in Chicago , and its prices the same ,
it is not surprising that it has had all it
can possibly do.

A "Day Time Spook" That Is a Terror
to Horses.
The steam motor on the Henson line
is perhaps the ugliest looking instrument
of locomotion over seen in these parts.
It is a great deal smaller than the or
dinary bobtail street car , but for its size
can cause more trouble on the streets
than a herd of elephants. It is as black
as night , about the size of a commercial
traveler's trunk , and ou one end is a
smoke stack that would take the prize in
a corn field for scaring crows. For some
reason it cannot bo made to stay on the
track , and as trial trips are being con
stantly , made the trouble caused to
passing teams can well bo imag
ined , especially as no horse will
pass the "black box" when at rest. Sat
urday it was moved on Lowe avenue bo-
twcen Hamilton and Mercer and there
was continual trouble with horses and
several narrow escapes. Last evening a
gentleman , his wife and two children approached
preached the motor.nml the horse mime-
diatoly commenced acrobatic feats. Ho
suddenly broke from the roadway , broke
the shafts of the buggy , also ono axle and
other minor parts. The occupants wcro
thrown out , but fortunately not seriously
injured. Some residents near by came
to the rescue and prevented what
promised to bo a serious runaway.
The owner of the buggy intends
to commence n suit for damages. Some-
tiling should bo done with the motor ,
even if nothing else than painting it a
light color like a street car. Thu city
equine is familiar with the street car.
S1UKKT CAU COSIl'ANV.
Yesterday the now extension of the
street car line on Cuming street , from
Hrown to Pleasant , was opened for the
first time. Only ono extra car was put
on , the number of switches not permit
ting any more nt present. This
line Is now the largest in
the city , reaching from Kennedy
ot Thirty-sixth and the cast cnt of Mer
cer avenue through Cuming to Sixteenth ,
thence soutn two blocks to Webster , east
three blocks to Thirteenth , north to Vin
ton and thence west three blocks to the
southern terminus at the corner of Six
teenth. It is four and a half miles long
and touches at some of tiio most import
ant points in the city. It takes exactly
ono hour to make a trip. The first cars
start from both termini at 0 o'clock a. m. ,
and the last about 10 p. m. The route Is
exceedingly well patronized and thu only
trouble seems to bo that the cars are not
largo enough. In all probability when
the line on Fifteenth street is completed
more cars will bo put ou. the. Thirteenth
street route.

ODDS AND ENDS ,
The busv season being over and things not so rushing any mor&
we have now time to look after the stock that is left , and find that
we have accumulated during the season quite a few odds and ends. '
These consist of some single suits , one or two of a kind , and quite a
lot of suit pants. Verv frequentlv we sell the coat and vest from a
suit and then the pants are left. We have placed them on a
counter bv themselves , and though the price was formerlv very
low we have marked them down still further. There are some verv
fine goods among them. We will sell them onlv as thev are. That
is , make no alterations as the price is so extremelv low that w
cannot afford to have the expense of altering them , but those who
will find a fit in this lot will get the goods at about one third their
value.
