gram to tin ; HII : : | Tommy Warren has
written the following letter concerning his
light with \Veir ; " 1 have been trying to get
a match with Weir for over a year and now
that \\e are ically to have a milling I want
the question of superiority to be willed
without question , invoh ing as it does the In
ternational featherweighlchampiouhhip. For
tills leason I propose Unit the number of
rounds of our contest at Minneapolis , to take
place December 1'J , bo increased from fifteen
totwoiiti. With a fair referee Weir ami
myself should be able to determine
who is tlie belter man within Unit
number of rounds and it is
with this purpo e in viuw that I make the
proposition. The other requirements , of the
articles of agreement are to be adheied to "
John Donaldson is authorised by ICecnun
to represent ami handle Weir , and said : "I'll
agree for Weir to make the contest an v num
ber of rounds that Warren may desire.
Warren Is a good little man. I am his friend ,
but he can.t make a blulT on the 'Spider' that
will not be called on the sprit. I shall tele
graph Weir to night to come on to Minne

Talk or Another Western Ijeafjne.
ST. Juarrii , Mo. , Nov. 2" . [ Special Tele
gram to the HUE J Ufl'orts are being made
to organize a now western league to bo com
posed of the following cities : St Joseph ,
Topeka , Leaveiiworlh , II s > liiigs , Wichita ,
and Lincoln. Sporting men in tins citj who
are abundantly able to carry the league
through arc nt the head of the enterprise and
there is little doubt of success. A salary
limit will bo. lived at $ IOir u month nnd a
heavy uu.irantoo required from each
club to abide b.v the contract
The failure of the Western league the past
season to successfully weather through , was
the icsult of tlio high salaries paid by the
Topeka , Lincoln and Kansas City clubs.
They thus became unevenly matched and no
interest was taken in the result after the
middle of the season , ns the liual outcome
was certain. There will be great rivalry be
tween the cities proposed. In case ono of
the cities refuse to enter the league , Emporia
will bo substituted , bill Ihe number will
probably net exceed six.

Tin- City Hall Muildlo.
Couneilmen Uodford , Uoyd mid Kitchou
weio missing \\hcn 1'rcsidcnt Ucchel called
the council to order ln"t nlpht. For three-
( pmrtcrs of an hour before the fall
of the picsidcnt's gavel , there was a big
amount of button-holing and caucusing car
ried on between the councilmen and outsid
ers , who embraced some well .known politi
cians , ward bummers and icprosontatlves
from the several workinginen's organl/atioii' *
of the city. The usual order of business went
through witli a iitsli , mid Councilman Ford
woke up the sleepy lobby and .stirred up the
blood of his associates by moving , when the
council went into n committee of the whole ,
that the contract awarded Kevins & Co. by
the board of public works be rescinded. . .
Councilman Kierstead said he did not want
to do Kegan Brother * an Injustice , but it
could not bo denied that they had been shift
less in the completion of thu work
on the basement of the city hull. They
had been treated fair , and they have no reason
to complain on that score. Hinco ho had
come into the council chamber , Mr. Kier-
stead said he had been informed that Kcgan
Bros. , Brenmin &Co. and Xevlns & Co. had
compromised nnd that Xevlns & Co. would
llni.sli the work commenced by Kegan Bros.
Councilman Ford declared that no one hod
the power to compromise. Ho repeated his
statement of last Monday night that Xovlns
it Co. had $10H ( ) ( ) in a bank to secure them
the contract , and said he was now fully [ ire-
pared to say that "Bill" Stout had offered
ST.OOO to the present contractors If they
would pull off from the work. ' This , "
howled Mr. Ford , "is the beginning of Bill
Stout's robbery in this city. If he gets a
foothold in Omaha ho will work the city the
same as he did the .state in building the capitol -
itol building at Lincoln. lie , Stout , is a state
corruptionlst , and the tux pajcr.-iof Onmha
don't want him to get a hold on them , ' ' Ford
was desirous that the present contractors
should llnish the work on the basement , and
that if thov icfuscd to do it to make their
bondsmen suffer.
Councilman Burnbnni asked if there were
any writings to .show that Hegan Brothers
lud given up their contract.
Tlio citv clerk stated that there was not ,
but read a communication from Brennan &
Co. to the effect that the contract hud been
sublet to them nnd that they held themselves
responsible for the unllnishcd state of the
work. They set forth that the assignment
was made December 11 , ISM > , innl produced
the name of .T. S. McCagno as a witness to
the same. Brennan \ Co. complained that
they had been delayed in the work by the
city ofllcials not signing the contract for
three weeks after it had been granted ; three
weeks by the city engineer not furnishing
them with grades ; six months as to the qual
ity of the cement to be used , and llnally by
the estimates not being promptly allowed.
Councilman Kierstead said that as he un
derstood it the boaid of public works did not
recognize Brennan & Co. and had no deal
ings with them in any way.
Councilman Ford H.iid that the councilmen
all understood that Hegan Bros , made the as
signment nearly a year ago and asked that
the assignment be ratillud.
Councilman Burnham allowed that the old
council might have understood it , but
the new did not , nnd asked thecity attorney if
lie had any ofllcial knowledge of anything of
the kind. The latter said he had not , and the
same question was applied to Mr. Balcombe ,
and his reply was the same as that of the city
clerk. There was nothing , Mr. Balcombo
said , in tlio proceedings of the council for the
past fourteen months , or in the minutes of
the board of public works t hut Hegan Brothers
had sublet the contract to Brenmin & Co. ,
whom tin1 board onl.s recognised , nnd had
been so led to believe , as loremen for the
lornier.
There was an exciting debute and exchange
of * questions carried on between the chair
man of the board of publ i works , the * city
engineer , and members of the council , when
maps , profiles nnd the architects plans were
shown and explanations were in. cr.Vi' as to
thu uimvant of wor1 { dqnr. and jet to be com
pleted uiulor the contract with Kegan Broth
ers. Lowry was quite wruthy , and Huscull
gave an exhibition of what he thinks he
knows about architecture. During- all
this it was the evident disposi
tion of the eouneilmen to compel
Kegan Brothers to go ahead and finish their
contract , and this was ratified by Council
man Burnham making a motion that Kegan
Brothers resume at once the completion of
their work.
Councilman Kierstead offered as an amend
ment to the motion tlio words "according to
tin * specifications of the architect. "
The amendment was voted down , and
Burnliain's motion was carried unani
mously.
Councilman Ford moved that all bids for
the superstructure bo rejected , and this was
carried with a unanimity of voices that
raised a cheer , a clapping of. hands and a
shuflling of feet in the lobby.
Tlio amendments to the license ordinance
so ns to conform with tlio Slocum law was re
ported upon by the committee on judiciary
and adopted.
The ordinance authori/.ing the issue of dis
trict paving bonds of the city of Omaha for
the purpose of paj ing the cost of paving the
streets in paving districts Xo. St , Sb , 05 , Ittl ,
1"I , l""i , exclusive of intersections , space op
posite alleys and between the rails of any
street railway was adopted.
The committee on ssreotsand alleys recom
mended the opening of Twenty-second street
1mm Lake street to the alley north. Adopted.
Also that a commilte.u be appointed to up-
praisotho piece of ground adjoining lot'J ,
block Xo IhH-i , , to be bought by the city from
Martha J. Stewart. Adopted. The city en
gineer was directed to take proper steps for
establishing grades on Walnut and Otchuid
Bill.
J'e.vcke Brothers were granted permission
to put up an uwninj , on the west side of Kiev-
cnth street , commencingul the alley between
Barney and Furnum streets ,
The bid of Fred W. Gray to furnish the
city with lumber was accepted.
The special committee to whom was re
ferred the matter of causing an ordinance tn
bo drawn up for the regulation of the run
ning'of street cars reported. The ordinance
calls for many reforms , such as the hours
when cars shall be run , the sale of tickets ,

and cleaning of the cars. The ordinance
was read for the lirst and second time ami
referred to the committee on ordinances ,
Several other ordii.ancos were read for tin
Ill-stand second time and referred.
A H'titinn from the prujierty holders on

throughout Is ns graceful and Intricate ns can
be. Omnliu is Indebted Incalculably to the
charming Abbott for this tmicthless treat. It
was her lirst assumption of masculine alt Ire
lu this city , and to say that she accomplished
a wholesale captui c of the audience is to but
say the truth. She was encored , recalled
mid applauded sufficiently to turn her pretty
little head , but she was equal to it all , and
by her naivete graeeousness , and ingenious
winsomeness made willing captives of all
within the house. Anil then , too , Abbott was
not alone In this triumph. The strong com
edy part of Gil Vurgos was well played by
Allen , Avhile I'ructte , Broderick , Annan-
dale , Bertram , all went through their
respective parts with inntrnlllcent cITect. In
conclusion it must bo added that Abbott is
veritably mi Ideal good devil , nnd in this im
personation she made a decisive hit.
The touching little episode published in
yesterday's Br.i ; relating to Miss Abbott's
singing the "Last Kose of Summer" in
which sweetest and most touching of nil bal
lads she has no equal to a dying child in
Scranton , I'enn. , has led to a flood of re
quests from her countless ndmirer.s here that
she slug it this afternoon at the matinee. It
would not be Emma Abbott , if she refused ,
so at the end of the llrst or second act , or
just before the close of these urgent requests
will be complied with.

To Ijlconse Kmployinont Aurnrlci.
Some days since an nitlclc appeared in the
Bin : , advocating that all employment agencies
be made to pay a license and ilio u suitable
bond for the faithful carrying out of their
duty. The firm of Mrs. Brega & Sou a few
days afterward went to the common council
with a petition that all agencies be licensed
and bonded. This was not taken up hist
Tuesday , but will probably bo at the next
meeting. Several managers of agencies have
alleged that Mrs. Brega & Son were trjing
to monopolize the business. To offset this
charge the signatures of the followingnromi-
neiit agencies have been added : K. S. Al
bright , II. K. White , C. II. Hart , C. S. Gib
son and Mr. Benson , successor to Moore's
agency.
This is undoubtedly n move in tlio right
direction , anil UKBur. trusts that the coun
cil will puss it without delay.

THK NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The Mini Chosen to I tepresent Omaha's
Claims.
A meeting of the committee appointed
to secure the national republican con
vention for Omaha was held at the Millard
hotel last evening. The matter was discussed
at some length and the prospects of securing
the convention pronounced most encouraging.
Kvcn Chicago now acknowledges Omaha as a
formidable rival in the contest , nnd is mak
ing extra exertions to secure the pri/c. The
committee who have been canvassing the
city for subscriptions repotted (0,000 (
already pledged. There remains yet only
$10,000 to bo raised , and it is thought that this
will be readily secured. On motion a com
mittee was appointed to go to Washington to
attend the meeting of the republican
national committee December t > , to
represent Omaha's clatl'n before that
committee. The following gentlemen
were chosen to do that work : Governor
.lohn M. Thayer. K. K. Valentine , Lovou/.o
Crounse , Ci. M. Hitchcock. Cadet Taylor , 1C.
Kosowater , J. K. Hoyd , W. F. Sapp , U. H.

Mr. Church Howe , who was present and
took a prominent part in the meeting , leaves
Sunday next for the east , where he will
prosecute the claims of Omaha. The com
mittee meet again this afteinoun at the same
place.
