' _ PIXKEUTONS AVlIiLi STAV. JJots of Talk , But no ActV > n Crossing olT Streets Ordcn-il Piivcil. Paving und the Pinkcrton's were the sub jects that occupied the attention of the four teen councilman who responded to the roll call when President Hcchcl rapped them to order at fifteen minutes before 9 o'clock last night. On motion of Lowry the ordinance calling for paving of Sherman avenue from Ohio street to Wirt , and Twenty-fourth street from Patrick to Wirt streets was taken up nud passed , together with a largo number of ordinances. On motion of Councilman Lowry the mayor's reply to the resolution inquiring us to the authority of the Pinkortons to do po lice duty , which has been fully printed in the 13 E , was taken from the table and read. Councilman ford insisted that the mayor had not nnswdrod his resolution , and said that Hnscall made a mistake In referring the j application of the St. Paul railway peoplu for forces to the lire and police commission , who had no authority under the charter to giro tlio Pinkertun men authority to wear stars. It was not true , Ford chained , that the Pinhcrtons wore honest and capable men , as represented by Mr. Holdrogo , und ho stamped them ns thiovcs , rowdies and ruf- flaus. Ho concluded by calling upon Gen eral Manager Holdrego to drive them out and employ citizens of Omaha in their stead. Councilman Lowry said that the head of the city government and the police and lire commission were responsible for the killing of the PInliorton man by a locomotive Fri day night. They shouldn't have appointed him a special , and had they refused so to do ho would bo lu Chicago ahvc with his family and not bo sent homo a corpso. Councilman Ford moved that the mayor nud police commission be ordered to send in the names of these who are doing police duty for the Burlington , and to point out in the list who are and who nro not citizens. Pending the motion Councilman Hascall said that lie understood that the pollco and flro commission hud niado a rule not to appoint a policeman who had not been a resident of the city for two years , and ho couldn't sco how they could consistently swear in the Punkorton men. Councilman Ford asked Mr. Hascnll if the commission could do anything contrary to the charter , and ho replied that considering the decision of the supreme court ho was not prepared to answer. Thu commission has appointed these men , nnd Mr. Hascall was In favor of holding them responsible for their acts. Councilman Leo moved that the communi cations bo placed on file , which was carried , and further debate ended. Cndet Taylor , of the Republican , sent In n communication threatening to sue the city if his ofllco was not given the work of printing the revised city ordinances , ho insisting that ho liolds a contract for the printing.

The brotherhood of locomotive engineers nud firemen hold a largo and protracted meeting at their ball , corner Fourteenth and Douglas streets , last night , and transacted business In relation to the welfare of their organization , and expressed gratification over the manly and unrelenting stand shown by their companions who are nt odds with the Burlington , A-number of visiting engineers and firemen from outlying points on the Jiurllngton were on hand and recited in stances of the tyranny adopted by the Bur lington officials and presented positive proofs of their inability to handle the business of their road with tlio incompetent forces now in their employ. A well-known employe of tlio road from Schuyler prevented tome substantial facts. F. E. Somers , a first-class pasaengcr conduc tor running from PlattsmoutH toScHUyleron tuulns 7 und S had been Invited by the officials when tlio strlko broke out to 11 ro an engine. This ho positively refused to do , and wan retired , Somcrs accepted his discharge with gentlemanly grace , and u few days ago was culled before the sauio official , when the latter resumed his proposition , stipulating that if Somcra would tire for a few days ho would bo given tils run aguln.Vu want , " said the official , "to make these kickers appear that the conductors are not in sym pathy with them , and if wo can establish this belief by the conductors serving us they will be glau to come back nnd go to work. " To this request Soinors replied : "I havg only tuy homo nnd family , I am a iK > or man ; need work , but rather go back on the boys I would sooner go to digging ditches. " Porter Hodges , also of Schuyler , n faithful employe of the road , was recently dismissed for not doing the dirty bidding of the. officials , and furthermore it was proven that the roud is crippled as put a freight had left Schuyler siuco \ \ eaavanay Jsut , when an englnci was burned out by a "scab" onglnoor , particulars of which wcro printed In the BEB at the time. Facts nnd figures were presented to show that the motive iwwer of the niad was badly crippled , and it U inferred that before an other month they will not have a locomotive In condition to run. HODGSON'S HIGH A.HT. How n Tlitllty Firm of Architects Offset * KH Advertising BIllH. "Edward Hosowntcr Sued" "Tho BEB Sued For $2GOO" wore the headings In big black typo , which appeared in last Sunday inornliiR's Herald and Uepubllcan. It was not , however , until Tuesday morning that Deputy Sheriff Bandhnuer called nt the Br.B office with the notice of suit filed by Isaac S. Hodgson & Son in the district court for an alleged claim against Edward Hoscwatcr and the UKR Publishing company jointly for $3,000 , for sketches nnd plans furnished the said defendants. Before these papers had boon served nt the BIB : oftlce , however , Mr. E. W. Slmcral had filed a bill against Hodgson ft Son In the county court for n fraction over $ 'M3 , duo the Bun Publishing company for advertising. And thereby hangs a talo. About fifteen months ago , during the whi ter of ISsi , the youncer Hodgson called at the Bic : onieo nud importuned Mr. Hose- water to let him prepare plans for the now BII : : building. He was informed that the project had not been fully matured ; that negotiations for the contemplated loan wore still pending , nud that therefore there was no need of plans at that time. Mr. Hodgson pressed his services nnd dwelt upon the reputation of his firm , etc. , and Invited Mr. Hosewater to make inquiries concerning its stnndmg. Hodgson Called several time ? and finally Mr. Hose- water told him ho might make a preliminary outline sketch of his own ideal of an ofllco building. Sometime later Mr. Hosewater was invited by Hodgson to go up to his office nnd Inspect some architect's elevations of buildings which Hodgson thought would bo n good model. Mr. Kosewntor went but didn't Hud Hodgson. Ho went several times there after nnd was always told that Hodgson was In Kansas City , Minneapolis or some other place. Some time last spring Hodgson handed in three or four pen sUetcnos on shoots about 10x1(1 ( Inches , stitched together , under n coven , on which n big bumble boo was drawn by some ingenious nrlist. The sketches wcro very ordinary and crude. Instead of an ofllco building they represented n store buildIng - Ing with ofilccs on the upper .floors. The shoots were left at the Bni ! ofllco and finally taken to the residence of Mr. Kosewntor , who , after inspecting them , came to the con clusion that they were not what ho wanted. Ho culled on Hodgson again two or three times but could not find him. Finally , last summer , Mr. Uosewatcr decided to invite competition for the now Bin building , which , however , ho confined to three firms of archi tects , viz : Mendelssohn & Lawrio and Hodg son & Son , of Omaha , and S. S. Bcinan , of Chicago. When ho called ut Hodgson's of- ilco with hl proposition , ho met the senior member of the firm. "Wo don't go into com petitions , " said ttio older Hodgson , "except on public buildings. " "Very sorry you can't comtxjte , " said Mr. Uosowater. "because I want to see you do your level best. The sketches furnished by your sou are very common , and I am sure the other architects will beat you. " "Well , wo can't help it , " said the old man , and there the matter dropped. In duo time the preliminary plans by Men delssohn & Lawrie and by Beman were handed in. They wcro both very elaborate and handsome. It so happened that Mr. Kuowlcs , of Now York , the architect of Will Kocniir's block at Nineteenth nnd Davenport , was in Omaha at this juncture , and ho was requested by Mr. Uosewatcr , as a disinter ested export , to examine the plans and de cide for him which tie regarded as the best and most suitable. Mr. ICnowles consented to act. At first sight of the Hodgson plans ho said they wcro Inferior and upon which it was not worth while to waste time or thought. Ho throw them aside nnd after nearly two days of ox- niiiinallon and study ho decided in favor of the Bcmnn plans , although ho commended tlio Mendelssohn plan very highly. Shortly thereafter Mr. Kosewater awarded the con tract to Mr. Beman and Mendelssohn and Lawrio were paid their own price for their preliminary sketches. Mooting Young Hodgson later on Mr. Hosewater tolfl him tnat he was sorry that ho had not entered the competition , and the latter expressed re grets that ho was not in the city at the time competition was called for. Mr. Rosewater then said to Hodgson , "Although your sketches wcro not just what was wanted , I am willing to place you on an equal footing with the competing architects , and will al low you SliOO for your worl : , the same as 1 paid to Mendelssohn. " Hodgson turned tue conversation and for the time the matter dropped. Things' dragged along till Jammryt when Koso- water met Hodgson again in the United States National bank nnd asked him why a settlement could not be made and accounts squared , Hodgson having a run ning account for advertising in the BUR. Hodgson talked bouio about some mistake in the Now Year's edition advertising bill , nnd was told that if there was an overcharge it would bo knocked off. Then ho proposed to act as superintendent on the I3ii : : building. Mr. Hosowatcr said that ho would as I : his architect , Mr. Bcmnn , about it , and later , told him that he didn't ' think ho needed n superintendent until spring. Meeting Hodgson again a few days later the Inttcr throw out some hints about the city hall on which Hodgson had been scheming to supersede Myers , but the talk was cut short. About the 1st of March it was found that Hodgson & Son owed the Bui : Publish Ing company , on an account ruuiiinir over eighteen months , a fraction over 3113. A polite letter was sent to Mr. Hodgson re questing him to settle that bill , and if he had any claims against the Bui : Publishing company to present them. Hodgson sent word that ho would call the next day. Ho didn't call , however , but two or three days afterward sent a bill to E. Hosowntor for W(00 ( , which Is computed as 1 per cent of ? 2tiO,000 , his estimated cost of the Bui : building. This , of course , was re sented us an outrageous Imposition and Hodgson was told so two or three weeks later. "Make mo an oiler , " said Hodgson. "I cannot make you an offer , " said Mr. Hosowater , "on n bill of ? J,000 , for a sketch winch is not worth $50 , " "Well , " said Hodgson , "didn't you toll mo that you would throw in your advertising bill nnd offer mo $200 fur the plans ) " "That i rather cool , " remarked Mr. H. "Make you a present of over 10 ? Who ever heard of such n thing ) I told you that I would throw in whatevurovur charge there was ia our bill for your New Year's edition advertisement , but I was not crazy enough to donate you over fltOO , " The high-priced artist then turned on his heel und said ; "I'll see you some other time. " On the 1st of April n col lector of the HEK Publishing Com pany called again nt the office anil presented a bill for $ .i4f ) up to date and was answered , grutlly , "I will pay it when I get ready. " ThorcuiHin Mr. Uosowater directed the business nftlco to prosecute the claim In the courts. When this camn to the hearing o : Hodgson ho filed his bill for f2,000 In the dis trict court , nnd the rival Sunday papers pub llshcd { ho fact with great gusto. This will be an interesting case , Hodgson declares that nobody can fix a price on his professional services ; that ho can charge jus what lie pleases because no price was ngroui on. In any event , people who want Hodgsot to make preliminary sketches will do well to consult him about the value of his tinio. Saw His Pile.

Naw YOKK , April 14. fSpecia } Telegram to the BEK. ] The most important piece o nvnv that has p4ra to Debt thU spring U the ecmingly authentic report from Mobile that Captain Sam Brown , the Pittsburg turfman , ms been forced to retire his great colt Stuyvesnnt. The Mobile pnpom soy that the colt has broken down beyond any hope of re covery , ono of his legs having given away during n strong gallop. This disposes of the fastest mile horse that vo have seen on the American turf. Stuy- esnnt has the fastest time on record for a nlio made in nn actual race , and in seven rials out of ten could make the distance in :41. : His record Is 1:40 : % Trainer Hogers ios certainly had his share of bad ortuno. Troubadour , Blue Whip , Bob Wisher , night Away , and now Stuyvesant , mvo all gone wrong with him. The only ono of the lot likely ever again to fnce the starter with success Is Blue Wing , and that thoroughly game and spendy horse has two unsound legs. The loss of Stuyvescnt will leprivo race-goers of many exciting con- esls , in which the son of Glengarry would mvo figured as the first opponent of those equine champions , Hanover nnd Kingston. jVlth Stuyvesant out > if ttio way , there is no four-year-old to dlspnto tholr superiority. Captain Brown's horses , In training , have oft Mobile for the Washington race meeting. They will rest nt Latonla for n week , nnd .vhilo there several two-year-old horses will jo ndded to the stable. The horses at Oravesond , and Shecpshcad Jay , nnd nt the other training quarters , have begun to do some strong Work. Up to date lothlng fast has been attempted , and so no mishaps can bo reported , When the down- itjht hard work begins the weak points will jo discovered , nnd many a good looking race mrso will bo retired. The Hnirgin string of lorscs , the lust to arrive nt Shoopshend Bay , mvo been closely watched since they began heir work. All the horses of tins stable ire n little backward at present , owing to the 'ow opportunities so far offered for steady ind active work. Next to the Hapgln horses , he ' lot In for the Dwyor's como most nttcn- ion from visitors to the Coney Island track. lanovcr , Kingston nnd Ten Tray are most nquired nficr. Hanover lias not yet pleased ils critics by breaking down. Ho shows n disposition to do ill the work asked of him , and if the weather docs not prevent Trainer McCabe from getting him ready the great son of Hindoo will bo ready to rnco in the Brooklyn Jockey club handicap. Kingston , lecond In point of honor in the Dwycr stable , s doing just ns well as Hanover , and to all nppenrauccs will bo ready for racing as soon is his companion. The "good luck" which was proverbial last season with D. A. Honig , the St. Louis turf- nan , appears to bo on tlio wane. First , ho est the services of his very able trainer , H. , V. Thomas , then his promising filly , Omaha , lied , followed by the death of the good colt , Van Lolnnd , and now a dispatch comes from St. LOUIS announcing the death from pneu monia , after a few days' illness , of Archie McDonald , his new trainer.

Was tlio Great 1'rUo Fighter Done Away With by the Vigilance Com. Providence Journal : Not far from the eastern extremity of the old Mission Dolores cemetery near San Francisco , there is a plain , white inarhlo monument ment , some cifrht or ten feet in height , upon which is carved the following in scription : JAMES SULLIVAN , Who died by the hands of V. C. , May ai , 1850 , Aged 4(5 ( Years. ANTI1IJM. Hcmembcr not , O Lord , our offenses , nor those of our sins. Thou shall not bring my soul out of trib- illation , mid in Thy mercy Thou shall destroy mine enemies , : A NATINP. or iiANnox , Erected by Juiucs Mulloy. Jan. 25 , 1853. Tills monument inarkH the uravo of the famous prlzo lighter , "Yankee" Sullivan , who , though no relation to the present noted pugilist of the biuno sur name , was equally renowned In his day. lie was a remarkable man in many ro- spcctB , nnd had a very singular nnd ro mantic history , with which no ono but himself was over fully acquainted. Ho was known by sovonil names at differ ent periods of his life , and what his true ono was none of his associates in this country know , but it is quite certain that it was not Sullivan. Though horn in Ireland , ho went to England quito early in life , and soon gained a wide reputation as u pugilist. Ho finally placed himself in tlio front rank of his profession by conquering Hammer Lane , then the light of the tibtio arena in England. Ho soon afterward immigrated to the United States , and it was while keeping a baleen In New York that ha fought his great battle with Thomas Hyor , the famous American nugulist , ai Kocd Point'Md , , on February 7 , 1810. for the championship of America nnd $10,000 , the largest stake over fought for in the prize ring. That encounter was. ono of the most celebrated on rec ord. Though it resulted in Sullivan's defeat , It made his nfltno knov.'n all over America , and ho nnd Ayer were the lions ot llio day. In the latter part of 18-55 SwlHvrui came out to San Francisco. Ho cnmo with a had reputationnndbolngknown nsa pupulist , ho was regarded by the vigilantes as a quarrelsome desperado , over ready for any ovlldolng whatever that temptation nnd opportunitp might render possible. It was at n tlmo when the vigllanco committee was nt the hoighth of Us power , nnd when the life of every man against whom there was the least ground for suspicion of disor der was In momentary danger. Sullivan wasan object of uisliko to the vigilantes from the first , nnd may ho truly said to have been n marked man from the very moment ho set foot in San Francisco. Yet so creditably did ho conduct himsolt that it was impossible for them to IInil any pretext for his tak ing off , until , at length , ho acted ns a judge of election in a hlttor political contest , which resulted In a manner un satisfactory to the vigilantes. Then sei.i'd"nnd Imprisoned him in their rooms on a charge of being a parly to ballot-box stuflling and other election frauds an accusation on which there was no proof , and of which many reput able citizens who know him believed him entirely Innocent. Ho wns too popular a man , and Ibcro wns too little evidence of any wrong doing for the vigilantes ty oxoeute him publicly , but on the morning of May 111 , 185(1 ( , ho was found lifeless in his place of confinement , with a sovorcd artery in his arm , from which ho had bled to death. All the local newspaper accounts of this alTalr published at the tlmo .slnlc that ho committed suicldo , and all who have written upon the subject since then have quietly accepted that statement without making any investigation of Its truth , but It must always bo berne In mind that the vigilancb committee ab solutely controlled the entire press of San Francisco , nnd wrote Its own his tory. There was but ono newspaper the Herald which dareil ( o lift Us voice , and that a very feeble ono , against the committee and its doings. All the others upheld it. and strongly urged it to much bolder deeds than it dared to attempt. Sullivan died in ono of the commit- ICO'H rooms , sequestered from all his friends and from every eye save that of the vigilance committee and the Great Author of lifo and death. If the vigi lantes uhoso to mnko the statement that Sullivan had taken his own lifo , who but the all-seeing God could contradict or disprove their assertions'/ Sullivan's friends and tlio members of the law and order party , nn organiza tion formed by n few r'cspoclabie citi zens to oppose the vigilantes , boli&vod that ho had been murdered by the com mittee. When they applied for per mission to inter his body in the old com- tery of the Mission Dolores , ho having lied a faithful Catholic , the ccclesins- ticnl authorities thoroughly investi gated the matter , the lawsof the church 'orbidding the burial of a suicide in consecrated ground. The result of that investigation was to thoroughly con vince all concerned in it that Sullivan ind been n&sasbinntcd , and the fact that his remains now rest in the consecrated crated burial ground of a Catholic church is tlio best possible proof that 10 was truiltlcss " of any hand in his own death. Hotel Clork's Charnctcr-RcndlnK' Chicago Herald : "Now , that name , " said tlio hotel clericTunning his diamond mend hilled linger down the register , ind pausing nt the name of Giuiprout ; "that name is 11 fraud. That man is traveling incog. , and there is some thing crooked about him. "Why do I think so'/ Why , I almost know it in fni't I do know it intui tively. It is my business to bo familiar with names and the derivation of them. Now , there is no such name as Gurl- proat. It is a machine name , manufac tured for an emergency , something like the characters in Dickons' novels tlio Vancoi'ings , Podsnnps , Woggs , Dor- ritts , Nickolbys and Chuzzlewitn. I am obliged , you know , to bo sharp in my business. I tell you ho is a fly t .kir from Ply town. Ho is a queer , and you can bet high on that. "Now , there is a man , " continued the hotel cleric , pointing to another square- toed specimen of caligraphy ; "that man .Tones , there , A. Q. Jones , bo's all O. K. There is no subterfuge about him. Ho comes in and planks down his gripsack , deposits a roll of bills in the safe , calls for u stylus , indorses the register , and there you have it straight and Hat- footed. A. Q. Jones , $2,000 in his roll in the snfo. Ho is a man who will do to tie up to. Wo have to bo good judges of human nature in this business , I tell you , nnd are obliged to bo tototnlly and strictly sham. But Jones is solid with this house. Ho has been hero a week now , and I luivo advanced him $550 or $000 on his roll. " "You arc sure the roll containsmonoy , are YOU'/ " inquired the reporter , care lessly. "Surcl Why , it is an express pack age , bealod , and tlio amount marked on tlio corner. Guests often leave them with us foi security. " "I should want to know it was all . .ght before I loan faued the reporter. "That's where you would fool your self. That's where you would insult guests and drive trade away. But" the sharp clerk spoke this a little un easily "just to show you what u square man Jones is , I'll send up this bill , , ' and the clerk proceeded to bound the largo timbrel , which summoned a bell boy."Hero "Hero , run up to 53 with this , " said the clerk. While the boll boy was oa his mission the suspicious Gurlproat came up to the olllco to hcttlo Ids bill , "That's him Gurlproat. " said the clerk , forming the words with bis mouth without uttering a sound ; eight dollars und u quarter two days and a half. " "Hoy1/ / " said the despised Gurlproat. " ' -'wo days and a half eight and a quarter , " answered the cleric , winking at the reporter. "Eight dollars " ' Eight'/ " "And a quarter. " "All right correct , " and Mr. Gurl- prout tendered a $10 bill. The sharp dork spent IIvo minutes critically ox- nming and testing the same. While doing so the the suspected guest ob served ; "If Colonel James Gurlproat , ol Montgomery. Alabama , calls for mo , please toll him I have gone to Wash ington. " The hotel clerk looked suddenly up and his face wns lilco n circus postoi gilded by the rays of sunset. "Aro you Congressman Gurlproat o : Alabama'ho inquired. ' ' / " Hoy'/ "Aro you Congressman Gurlpraat , of Alabama'/ " "No , I am his brother. I nm Judge Gurlproat , formerly of the supreme bench. " Ho had his change , nnd in another instant the porter was obsequiously es corting him out to a carriage , "Why , " exclaimed the clerk , "It's singular I hnupencd to forget thai Gurlproat family of Montgomery. Jt just beats all. Funny , Isn't it , when you miss a man's immo. " The boll boy returned at thU inter csting juncture of the proceedings wit ) the startling inforinution that A.
