The opinion of Judge Urcwcr In the cruo of
Hormim C. Fechhelmer vs Morris H. Slotnnn
ut ill , wus fllcd with the clerk of the United
States court yesterday. As the matter
In question Is one of great Importance , n very
full nhstract of thu Judge's finding Is here
with given :
The controversy Is ono between the se
cured und unsecured creditors of Mori Is H.
Slnrimn , n merchant doing business In tills
city under the firm name of Sloman llros.
The secured creditors uro known as the com
plainants and the unsecured as the defend
ants. The debtor disputes none of thocliilms
and trouble arises by reason of the fact that
In May , IbWi , Feclilieimcr , n Detroit
creditor , comes to Omaha , and
demand security. The debtor consented
to give n chattel mortgage but Insisted on
giving the same to all ills creditors. These
mortgages were executed. Fechclmer fore
closed and had u receiver appointed. The other
creditors Hied cross-bills and obtained Judg
ment. The receiver sold the stock and the
money Is now In the court registry , and Is
the object of pursuit by the various credi
tors.
In reviewing the history of Morris Slo-
man's affairs , the court linds that prior to
ISbO , ho was In partnership with his brother ,
Samuel A. Sloman , under the tlrm name of
Sloman llrothers. They had two houses ,
ono In Chicago , and ono In Omaha. Kugcno
Sloman , a younger brother was In charge of
the Chicago house , having an interest In the
profits of the concern. Morris Slotnau
bought out his brother Samuel A. Sloman.
The latter was ilnanciully responsible.
In consideration of the purchase by
Morris Sloman was n house and
lot , some Wyoming Meat company stock ,
$5,000 in money , which was obtained by
discounting a note In n bank , anil a
note for 4,700. , Notlco of the dissolution
was published in the Watchman , n paper of
little circulation hi Omaha , and n copy was
sent to Kugeno at Chicago with instructions
to have the notice published in a dally paper
of the least circulation. In January Morris
Sloman made a statement of his financial
condition to ono of the mercantllo agencies in
this city , which made the following show
ing :
Total assets $12-lHM.iS ( :
Total liabilities 70,335.11
In March ho made u second btatcmcnt. The
showing :
Total assets fG2 , 1.75
Total liabilities 11.4UU.OO
Leaving n net worth of $43,1:11.75 :
About tlds tinib ho attempted to organize n
coiporntion in Chicago to ho known as the
Chicago Hide and Wool company , but the
project was t abandoned. On the 'iUlli of
March a Chicairo agency criticised the finan
cial condition of the house , and in April call
reports were issui-d by the Omaha agency ,
and the rating of the house withdrawn1
From the latter part of Miirch until the
closing up on May 2(1 ( , the Sloman brothers
wcro ordering and receiving largo ( piantitics
of goods. They dealt with numerous houses ,
sending out small bills In every direction , so
that when the collapse came the unsecured
creditors numbered something over ono
hundred , amounting In the aggregitto to
$50,1100 , The secured indebtedness was about
the same , making the whole $100,000 , while
the stock on hand only inventoried $5:1,000. :
and on sale realized much less. In other
words , in March Morris Sloman appears to
have been worth $43,000 , while on the ' "Jth of
of May ho was at least $50.000 behind hand.
Practically in about two months and a half
$100,000 disappeared. This indicates extreme
carelessness , great losses or fraudulent con
cealment. No satisfactory explanation is
tendered , but on the contraryMorris Slomau
refused to bo sworn as a witness until com
pelled by an order of the court , claiming that
tils witness fees hail been demanded and not
paid , and was all through an unwilling wit
ness. The books of the Omahu house
were offered in evidence , and this
branch of testimony has caused much
delay in the preparation of this opinion.
With other facts in the case they strengthen
the conviction that there was something
wrong In the financial transactions ot Morris
Sloman , and before the secured creditors can
do deprived of the benefit of their security.
which is unquestionably legal In form and
duly executed. Herman Kechhoimer was a
merchant in Detroit. Samuel A. Sloman had
been a partner of his. Afterwards the Slo-
inan brothers were in the habit of exchang
ing notes and drafts with him. S. A. Sloman
went to Detroit and urged upon Fechhcimer
n continuance of these exchanges with his
brother Morris. There is no reason to doubt
that the exchanges were kept up , or that the
amount claimed by Fechhcimer wcro not duo
and Justly duo. None of the complainants
named was a witness , but until it is shown
that the debts were not Just I shall find in
their favor. In regard to Samurl A. Sloman :
Ho was evidently the llmtncially responsible
member of the firm. Ho retired , the collapse
came , and the circumstances which led to
this collapse indicate intentional wrong on
the part of Morris Sloman. Notice of
the retirement was given for the fiurposo of
relieving Samuel A. Sloman from fur
ther responsibility , but so given us to dis
close the intent on the part of Morris Sloman
ut Joust , to retain the benefit of the credit of
Samuel A. Slomau's name gave to the busi
ness , after his retirement. Samuel A.
Sloman continued about the store and docs
not bcem to have engaged in any now busi
ness. Ho certainly was nwnro of the wrong
contemplated. Ho urges Fediheinier to
continue his accommodations and induces
oilier of the complainants to sign papers for
the accommodation of Sloman Hrothers , and
while ho denies all knowledge of any fraud ,
it-looks decidedly that ho did and was privy
to the whole scheme. Seine way' and sotne-
where within the short period of about ten
weeks , nearly $100.01X1 disappeared. Can it
bo that Morris Sloman is the only ono who
know of or accomplished such disappearance }
I think not.
My conclusion is that Samuel A. Sloman
is not entitled to preference or protection as
ngainst the general creditors. A decree will
therefore bo entered securing the other com
plainants in their preferences , and directing
that they first bo paid out of the funds on
hand. The matter will bo referred to n
master to report what each ono has paid ,
and when , and on the coming in of that re
port , a final decree will bo entered.

city.
city.The
The rate on lumber from Chicago to Kansas
City , a distuned of 4S" miles , Is W cents ,
while from Chicago to Oin.iha , 50(1 ( miles. It is
10 cents. Tfils makes a difference of $5 per
car of ten tons.
The difference In rates from Ashland , how
ever , Is the most marked. From Ashlamt to
Kansas City the distance is 7:20 : miles , and the
rate is 2 % cents , yet while the distance from
Ashland to Omahu Is only iV > 3 miles , the rate
is 25 cents. The lumbermen in the northwest -
west will combine with the Nebraska deal
ers. and , as snld before , a determined effort
will bo made to secure Justice.
DISUIIIMI NATION HKSTHOTKn.
The telegraph In the HUB 1ms told of nj re
duction In rates between Chicago and Omaha ,
and the reduction was estimated at about 50
per cent. The cut , however is not BO great ,
as may bo seen by the following figures :
Old rates. 7ri fid ] W 30 'JT.
4otr : > iaysi Ill
The cut iva * not unexpected , and talks with
the local railway agouti developed the fact
that It was of doubtful staying qualities , but
while it lasts could hot result otherwise than
benellcial to Omaha. It was brought about
by u contest between the Chicago , Mil
waukee & St. Paul road and the Chicago ,
Burlington it Quincy , through ono of its
brandies , known as the llurlington & North
ern. The llrst mentioned road lias the better
part of its system In the north and north
west , which it may consider its territory.
The Uurlinglon has pushed into it to St.
Paul by a train which leaves the main
line at Aurora. The better part of
the Uurlmgton territory lies in
this direction , anil Into it , as is well known n
few years ago , the Milwaukee pushed. On
both the Uurllngton & Northern and the
Milwaukee road between this city and Chicago
cage , the local business is not so great as on
other and older lines running mainly in the
same direction. As a consequence , they may
reduce the through rates without u mater
ially great loss on the reduced locals. The
I3urlington & Northern &omo time ago re
duced its through rates from Chicago in the
Milwaukee's territory t St. Paul , and in re
taliation thu latter resolved , whenever rates
to its territory were reduced by the Hurling-
ton , to reduce Its rates into Ihe lattcr's terri
tory in return. As u consequence , therefore ,
of the Burlington's cut to St. Paul , the Mil
waukee has cut to Council Bluffs and Omaha.
Fred Nash , general agent of the latter at this
point , however , told a BKIJ reporter that ho
had not up to that tiuo been ofllciully noti
fied of'the reduction.
James Preston , who Is tempo
rarily representing the Chicago
& Northwestern , said that his
oftieo had been notified to pay no attention ,
at least until further notice , to the reduced
rates.
S. S. Stevens , of the Chicago & Rock
Island , said ho had heard nothing of the
cut.
cut.It
It is quite likely that neither of the two
roads mentioned last will be in a hurry to
adopt the new rates because of their heavy
local business , which they seem to desire to
maintain at established rates.
Not the least advantageous feature of this
reduction is the effect it will have upon the
charge of discrimination against Omaha ,
which has been made against the several
railroads which terminate hero , and which
has been Hied by the Omaha freight bureau
with the Iiitcr-stato commission at Washing
ton. That charge- based upon the fact that
Omaha is discriminated against because the
rates to points beyond her , say from Chicago ,
uro not equal to the sum of the two locals.
As an example : The old first-class rate be
tween Chicago and Grand Island per 100
pounds was 4.1.15. The sum of the rate from
Chicago to Omaha , 75 cents , and from Omaha
to Grand Island , "I cents , was S1.2SI , making
against Omaha a discrimination of 14 cents
per 100 pounds. Under the present cut , however -
over , the status is as follows : First-class
rate per HKI pounds from Chicago to Omaha ,
40 cents ; from Omaha to Grand Island , 54
cents ; total , 04 cents. This is a reduction of
" 1 cents in the through rate between Chicago
and Grand Island and n reduction of ! ! 5
cents from the old rate to this city. Tilts
practically does away with the charge of dis
crimination , at least ngainst those roads
which agveo to the rates. If all the roads
adopt them , which is not likely , the case now
before the commission In Washington will bo
removed and Omaha may rejoice in having
won a victory without the intervention of
that body ,

At ono of the late meetiiigi of the brick
layers' union a committee was appointed to
confcrwith the boss masons on the question
ot w.igcs during the coming season. Yes
terday a member of the union said that ono
of the members of the committee had called
upon llcnry Llvesey , president of the bosses'
union and informed him that the committee
was ready to meet a , committee of the bosses
at their earliest convenience , Mr. hlvcsoy
told the representative that hu would notify
the other members of his association and en
deavor to have a mooting hold at an early
day. Up to the present time , so far as
known , the bricklayers have not heard of the
meeting they solicited.
Ross anil "Jour" I'aintors.
The journeymen painters profiting by the
suggestion made In the Br.n to meet with the
boss painters and ngrco upon a schedule of
wages to govern duriug the remainder of the
year , have invited the latter to n conference ,
\ \ hich will take place to-night In the store of
the Hosenzwuig Sign company , on Fifteenth
street and Capitol avenue. One of the jour
neymen said that the intention was to avoid
the Injury in Hie ted upon journeymen , bosses
and the building of Omalm last year , which
wus so protracted mid painful. "Wo can
meet and agree upon terms,1' ' ho said , "and
Unit int'uns work every day through the sea
son. "
Tills move on the part of the painters has
been superinduced by the oxpoiienco of a
number of them who took part In the strike
of last hummer. U will bo remembered that
the lockout lusted for somes time , and many
of the painters , who hud been short of funds
before it commenced , were placed In tight
quarters bofora thu struggle came to on end.
The strikers , at Urn time , were mainly In cen
tos of the Knights of Labor , forming an as
soinbly of then-own , No. O JO. The strike ,
as n consequence , gradually drifted into. the
biipm-vlslon of the joint city executive board.
Their action , to some people , Was not entirely
satisfactory , mid ' the uiuttcr , ut
length reached. tUo . state . executive
board. Ono of the first actions
taken by that body , or at least Its chairman ,
was the endorsement of the strikers , who be
longed to the asscmhy , by authorlring them
to incur whatever Indebtedness was consid
ered necessary to afford them food and shel
ter , and the same would be liquidated by the
order. As a consequence , the men ran bills
for sustenance amounting , It Is variously esti
mated , to between WK ) and * * ) . The Pain
ters' Assembly H.'J.i'.i has frequently since
that time , been asked to pay the money , hut
declined , on the ground that the money for It
should coma out of the treasury of the State
assembly. The latter body mot hero two
weeks ago , and aft jr hearing both sides of
the question decided that the chairman of the
state executive board of the order was not
justlllcd in issuing the order above referred
to , that the debt was consequently Irreg
ular and declined to hold itself re
sponsible for It. This action , It Is stated , In
censed the painters and caused them to sur
render their charter as an assembly of the
Knights of Labor and organize n painters'
union. It is stated , notwithstanding the
opinion above given us coming from a painter ,
that there arc some men In the union who
claim that they have the "bulge" on the con
tractors and propose to bring them to terms.
Hut this view is repudiated by the greater
part of the painters , who nro disposed to meet
the bosses on fair and equitable ground' .

ciiloi ] For the Dcfemlntit.
Judge Shields wiggled impatiently In his
chair for hours yesterday and listened to
lawyers jabber and fume over a case In
which the evidence was of such a character
ns to Impress the judge with.u' ' feeling that
there was a largo sized nigger. In the fence.
The complainant was Thomas F. liupys and
the defendant the American' Express com
pany. Dupys was put on the stand and told
Ills story to the effect that ho left n trunk
containing clothing and a'dlamond pin valued
nt $150 behind him at St. Paul and came on to
Omaha. Sometime after his arrival ho hero
ho ordered the trunk to bo shipped to him
over the line of the express company In ques
tion , and later , upon calling for ) t at the of-
llco in this city ho found the trunk had been
demolished enroute , The hinge's wcro broken
and the to ] ) battered in. Ho made a hurried
examination of his effects and at the time
found everything , as lie supposed , safe and
intact. Dupys took his overcoat from the
trunk , which ho had removed to his room ,
when a more minute examination revealed
the loss of the diamond stud , and besides , as
ho alleges , two suits of clothes. "
Dupys ut once commenced action ngainst
the company in a justice court to secure
damages for the loss of his property , and the
case was appealed to Judge Shields fqc hear
ing yesterday. The judge , in rendering his
decision in favor of the company , said that ho
was Inspired to do so from the fact that he
did not believe Dupys had u diamond pin
which he says he lost.

persons holding land contracts are like

they are paid as per agreement. It
seems that the buyer binds himself to
pay for the lot , the same as the heller
does to deliver the lot , and in case of
default the snllcr can get judgment at
any time after payments uro due and
unpaid. Parties holding contracts
should secure an adjustment1 with the
