When ho told her that ho would ninrrV her when ho got ready and left the city , she thought it time to usk the court to hasten the marriage by his urrost. A Cliiiiiui ) in OIIU.'CB. A chnnpro was made In the ofllccs in the county building yesterday which will uilord comfort und convenience to a number of ofttclals and clerks. City Comptroller ( joodrlch , who bus heretofore had his ofllro with City Clerk Southard , has taken tha large front room of the county surveyor's ofUcc. The latter will occupy the baoic rooms that ho has always occupied , and will Imvo Ills entrance opening from the east hall. This change will give Mr. Goodrich and his clerks plenty of room for their work , and also the use of a vault in which to keep their valuable papers and books.

As the company is understood .o bo out of debt , with a valuable plant and franchise , nnd earning f 1,50J to tOUO per nonth nut , It would scorn that the Lioston folks "know beans.

Those who hnvc heretofore derided the ljustio as a worthless affair need say no moro in future , a an event occurred Tuesday night which conclusively proved that they are not things of beauty alone. A lady passenger on a Thirteenth street car sat at the cxtromo rear end of the car with ono of the aforesaid articles attached to hoi- wearing npp.irul. As the car was passing untlor the viaduct over which the Union iMcilio trains pass n farm- rr's team which hml evidently been frlcht- ened farther up the street , came tearing down at a rapid rate and the hor.scs struck thu car. The lady Jumped up and screamed , and well she miglit , for the frightened ani mals had become loosened by the collision with the car and the polo of the wagon came through the doorway and would doubtless have Injured tier badly but for the thing of springs she wore Unit saved her from harm , although it was afterwards discovered to bo a total wreck. The car is In the shops for repair , the rear platform having been torn off.

How the Contractors Will Ho Paid The Usual I'ollcc Grist General NoteR About the City. , The Council. There was a business meeting of the city council Wednesday nltrht nnd about 1S7.X)0 ( ) worth of business transacted. Llonds to that amount were decided upon and will be sub mitted to the electors for their decision in nbout thirty days. All the members were present except O'Kourko and n 9 o'clock the mayor called them to order. The com mittee on streets nnd alleys reported favor ably on the petition of Potter & Cobb who asked permission to turn a stile track across Hollovuo avenue. The adoption of the re port was strongly opposed by the mayor , and Councilman Kafforty and HuHt , who ob jected to it on the ground that It would spoil the main nnd only thoroughfare be tween Snrpy county and the city. It also leaked out that it would require a cut of aoout six or eight feet deep across the street nnd then the re port was laid over. The amended proposi tion of the stockyards company regarding the sewer was next reached and gave rise tea a lively debate. The main objections to it were that the sewer was to remain in the ex clusive control of the company , although the city was to pay half the cost , and that it was worded so ns to exclude all storm water. Messrs. HafTerty and IJurko oposed | ) it throughout , and when the vote was taken upon accepting the proposition thov voted against It. Then the following ordinances were passed to their third and final reading- Ordinance No. 53. providing for the issuing of sewer bonds to the amount of $112,000. Ordinance No. l > , providing bonds for the Q street viaduct , SKi.Ut0. Ordinance No. OS , providing bonds for the L street viaduct , 3.00. ( Ordinance No. 77 , providing for pavement bonds , 813,000. Ordinance No. ' 0 , providing for refunding bonds , $1(5,000. ( Total amount of bonds to bo issucd$187,000. Ordinances 74 , relating to special assess ments , nnd 7.-rclating to the proposed change in the pay of the police force , were then read for n first time nnd the council adjourned to meet next Monday night. How They Will Ilo Paid. The question of how contractors will bo paid for doing the grading for the city as now advertised in THE LJnn , forms nn im portant factor in the bids that will be sent infer for the work on Friday. In the first place , citizens along the proposed grades have con tributed liberally , nnd their contributions will bo distributed as the work goes on. The balance is guarrantced by the council , and to warn contractors from paying too great a discount on city warrants , the city council adopted the following resolution last night. licsolvcd , That an ordinance bo drawn authorizing the submission of a proposition to the voters of South Omahu to pay what ever indebtedness duo for grading on the con tracts now advertised for , and that such or dinance should bo drawn up on or about March 1 , U8'J , and shall include the indebted ness incurred for such purpose on or before such date. This tells contractors just how long they will have to wait for their money. The Sewer Trouble , Settled. Councilmen Smith and McMillan and As sistant City Engineer Lawrence met the stockyards authorities yesterday relative to the proposed use of the stockyards sewer , aud from their reports the last objectionable feature of the proposition handed in Wednes day night has been removed. The sewer as at present is owned by the stockyards company , and they are under contract with the numer ous packing-houses to furnish the means of carrying off the sewage matter. If they failed in doing so , they would render thorn- selves liable to heavy damages , and it was for this reason they insisted on their right to maintain control of the sewer they had built for their own business , although'they were willing to let the city use It. They insisted on controlling it because they thought that at some future time cranks might got into the council and prevent them from using the sewer for the purposes for which it was built. Yesterday , however , it was ver bally agreed that the question of enlarging the sewer at any future time , und the proper use of it at present , should bo loft to the en gineers of the company and of the city , and that Judge Woolworth should bo the third party to the settlement of any disputes that might arise. Judge Woolworth lias accord ingly been Instructed to insert a clause to that ofTcot in the proposition that was read Wednesday night aud that will settle tholoug standing dilllculty. Notes About the City. Liberal receipts and an easier feeling in the hog market. Frank Wait , of Clcarwater , was in yester day with u load of hogs. Carter and Patterson , of Beemer , had two loads of hogs on the market. Ed Schaefer was arrested for fighting in the third ward , and contributed $2 and costs to the school fund. Bob V.'rfcht was found sleeping in an empty house belonging to Pat Ilowloy and yesterday was sentenced to two days In the city jail. A strayed dog showed signs of mental ab erration yesterday and sat down and howled every time he recognized the fact that ho had lost his bearings. Ho showed so many signs of hydrophobia , that Olllcer Kcd- mend borrowed a gun and put him beyond the possibility of doing any damage. The llrst case tried under the ordinance relating te the ? em < H'al of garbage , was heard by Judge Hcuther jTCStsi' ' ' , and Hobnrt Pringlo was lined $3 nnd costs for r'u- fuslng to pay the city garbage master tbo nu- thorkcd rates for the removal of an accumu lation of stable manure. James Glenn was picked up Wednesday night with a cut an inch deep in his cheek. Dr. Glasgow dressed the wound and pronounced it n k-ilfo cut , but Glenn insisted that it was' caused by his falling on the track. Ho was held as a'suspiclous character , but informed the jailer that ho would hang before he'd squeal , nnd ns ho persisted in Ins determina tion before Judge Heuthor , ho was discharged and advised to leave town.

There wore more developments In the Dewey & Stone robbery case yesterday U seems that Emma Uoll , of 11)07 North Twenty-seventh avenue fell under suspicion , nnd yesterday a warrant was sworn out , and given to Ofllcer Dempsey , authorizing a search of her promises. Nothing , however , was fouud , but the evidence that tbo woman , whoso reputation Is not us unsullied us it might bo , had handled considerable of the stolen furniture , was so conclusive that she voluntarily divulged what she know of the transaction , She said she had purchased nbout 73 worth of furniture from N. L. Perkins , the head clerk in Dcwoy & Stone's warehouse , and that , becoming - coming apprehensive of u visit from the police - lice , she had sold the same to a Mrs. Ander son of Council HlutTs. The oftlccrs had al ready satisfied themselves that Perkins and the Hull woman had been living lu u state of adulterous criminality with each other , also that Perkins had been ono of the biggest thieves In the whole puddle. Two or three weeks blnco , on the first expose of the rob bery und the arrest of Henry and Smith , Per- Uins relinquished his job aud suddenly left the city. Ho was ut once suspected ot com plicity in the rascality , but nothing posi tive was learned to substantiate this suppo sition , until the discovery of his intimacy with Emma Hull. Since then a vigilant wutch has been kept for the young man , but U wus only recently a clue was obtained as to tils wucrcabout t An Omaha merchant was Iti Denver ths.-wcok ! , nnd seeing Perkins on the street ho inquired nbout him , nnd learned that ho hailjust established the lire reporter's system In1 the Gem City. A war rant was put In tWvlinnds of Sheriff Coburn yesterday for Perkiuls arrest and ho has left for Lincoln cfbr the necessary requisition document * , and will proceed Immediately on tolUnvor. The sheriff tele graphed to the chief tof police of Denver , how ever , before startuig to arrest nnd hold Perkins until his arrival. Every day brlng ucw developments In the robbery , nnd there to llttlo doubt now , that Instead of losing hundreds of dollars worth of furniture , DewayA Stone's loss will foot up into the thousands. The detectives nro in possession of information that there are several other parties in tins vicinity who have handled these stolen goods , nnd a num ber of Important and startling arrests are liable to bo made at any moment.

Insiifllclcnt Facilities For Disposing oC the City's Filth. Garbage Master Goldsmith mot with a bit of adversity yesterday. His garbage horse , "Grover Cleveland , " as If to give the world n prcgustatlon of the fate of the demo cratic presidential candidate , broke through the deck flooring of the dump boat at the foot of Davenport street and broke his legs. Hut , in regurd to this garbaco question. There nro now daily from 500 to COO teams engaged in hauling garb age , while the facilities for disposing of tills refuse matter nro entirely inadequate. The dump boat at the foot of Jones street has been lying Idle for two months , und the only source for disposing of the enormous bulk of garbage that accumulates dally within the city limits is byway of the Daven port dump. This is wholly insufficient , ns is dcmostrated every day by the numberless loads o * garbage standing on the levco at the foot of Davenport street , waiting their turn to get nt the dump in order that they may unload. As stated before , the dump boat at the foot of Jones street has passed into a state of "innocuous desuetude , " disappearing down the river , nnd the ono nt the foot of Davenport also has been allowed to fall Into u state of dilapidation , nnd now the city , in consequence , must pay damages to the extent of a couple of hundred dollars to Olllcer Goldsmith , by reason of the loss of his horse. Phil Hrady , who has charge of the Jones street dump , contiiics to draw his salary , notwithstanding ho is not called upon to do a lick of work. The Annual Reports. Assistant United States District Attorney Patrick is engaged at present on the annual report of his ofilco. There are nine depart incuts to report. Ho is at work on the last department now. No new cases are being begun by the district attorney owing to the fact that there is no money in the treasury for witness fees andltho criminals can not bo arraigned for hearing on this account.
