Counsimin , Chunoy , Kitclien , ICuspar , Klcr-

1 . Mr. Ford Joined them latur.
Mr. Ieo nroso and announced that ono ot
, ho councllincn ( Vnn Camp ) had been stolen
bodily by the enemies of the city hull ordi
nance. Tlmt action , ho declared indignantly ,
had defeated the city hall enterprise tor this
year , and ho moved an adjournment.
Tho.tnotion was carried , and the shout of
"ayo" drowned the piping protest of Mr.
Ford.
Councilman Van Camp wus on the sidewalk
with his colleagues before the meeting como
to order , but when the gavel fell ho had dis
appeared.
Following is an abstract of the proposed
ordinance as amended , which was to bo taken
up last night.
Section 1 authorizes the erection of a city
hall to bo located on lots 5 and 0 in block lit ! ,
which is on Itanium street between Seven
teenth and ISiKhteenth. The cost is not to
exceed ! 00l , > 00. The plans and specifications
are to be determined by the mayor and coun
cil , and the work is to bo prosecuted as
siKNidily us possible. A proviso requires the
building to bu not less than six stories in
height and 12. ) feet square. Another proviso
requires "room and suitable accommodations
for the public library" in the building. It is
also provided that the city hall of this ordi
nance shall tuko the place of the city hall
named in ordinance 1)50. )
Section 2 authorizes the issue of ST 00,000
worth of bonds for the construction of the
city hall. They nro to run twenty years at
5 per cent interest , and bo payable at
the banking house of Kounto liros. in
Now York. It is provided that if these
bonds are voted no more bonds shall bo issued
under ordinance U30.
Section 3 wovido.-f that the proposition for
issuing bonds shall bo submitted to a vote at
a special election on September 17 , of which
election the mayor shall give twenty days'
notice. If the proposition receive two-thirds
of the vote cast it shall bo carried.
Then follow details as to the election and
the kind of ballots.
Among the spectators of the meeting were
James Croighlon , Joseph Hodman , Thomas
Hall and a few sympathizers , who sent up a
howl of satisfaction when the council ad
journed.
Afterward they gathered in a little knot on
the sidwalk to air their grievances and con
gratulate themselves. Their excited talk
drew a crowd of twenty or thirty boys and
other idlers.
Croighton's feelings boiled over and ho
shouted , "Lot's have a meeting ! " Ho accepted
his own suggestion and asked Thomas Hull
to mount the steps of the alleged city hall
and preside.
Croighton then moved a vote of thanks to
Councilman Van Camp , and the accommo
dating crowd acquiesced.
Thomas Swift moved a vote of censure on
the man who lied to his constituents two
months ago Jeff Hertford. "
Creightou followed with an incoherent
tirade , the substance of which was that Coun
cilman Hbdford had suld at a meeting in
North Omaha that ho would favor a propo
sition that would give Juilersyn Square a
cbarm to secure the now city hall.
Councilman Ford wanted to say "ono
word. " Ho told the crowd of his virtue * as
a public olllcial and denounced the special
meetfng u < j "h "dark lantern" alfuir. Ho
charged Councilman Lee with being a mouthj
piece for Mr. Council , and urged the censur
ing of Mr. Hertford.
Pat O. Hawcs asked for fair play for Hcd
ford. There are lii.QOO voters in Omaha , and
it is not right or fair , ho argued , for a few
persons to censure a man witboutgiviiig him
a chance to be hoard.
Ho was interrupted with shouts of "What
do you know about ItJ" Shut him off 1" and
"Question ! question ! " from Jo eph Hodman ,
Crelghton , Swift and n number of young
hoodlums.
Redman wanted Hawcs to understand that
"wo represent the property in North Omaha
and wo don't want to hear from you. "
The answer was passed , and Creighton got
in a" vote of thanks to councilm en and "every
body else who wore not traitors. "
Crelghton it was pretty much all Crclgh-
toii wanted the crowd to put themselves on
record as in favor of a $100,1)00 ) or S 100,000 city
hall , the location to bo decided by a vote
and the defeated party to take its uiedl-
Vine quietly. The good natured crowd hu
mored the old man with a whoop.
"Hoforo adjourning "it was Creighton
again "let. us pledge ourselves with ono an
other to oppose the issue of bonds to the bit-
tcr'end unless wo have a charm to place the
city hull in Jefferson square. "
" Messrs. Hodman , Ford and Swift "pledged"
themselves , and the kids sent up a derisive
howl in unison.
Ford moved an adjournment with a propo
sition to go and take a drink with Van Camp.

S11K IS A PUOCimiCSS !
A AVnrrnnt Issued For the ArrcHt or
Dnbnoh , the Clntrvoynnt.
Mary Dubach , tv clairvoyant , who resides
nt 51'J South Fourteenth street , Is bohlnd the
bars. She was arrested yesterday on a
warrant charging her with being a procuress.
At an early hour yesterday morning she was
arrested on the ehnrgo of being disorderly ,
which , on further development of the case ,
was changed us nbove.
Detective Ormsby and Oulccr Shields
were standing on the corner of Fourteenth
and Lcavenworth streets when they were
startled by the shrill blast of a iwllco whlstlo
and seroaniH. Hushing In the direction of
the disturbance they lound Mmo. Dubuch
abusing her next door neighbor , W. F. Iloyt.
And thereby hangs a tale.
Hestio Hale , a pretty Hohemlun girl was
induced to go into Mrs. Dtibach's kitchen as a
servant girl. ShothoiiKht that Dubach was a
lady and that the house was all right. Hes-
.sie's sister , who is not the same kind of a girl
Ucsslo is , had worked there before and told
her that it was a nice place. It was 11 sad
mistake.
Uessto Halo has n young friend named Ida
La Gross Smith. Dubach induced Hcsaio to
get Ida to como there too. Ida was to do sow
ing. She wont , and then the brazen madam
began to got in her nefarious work. She told
the girls Hint all they had to do was to stay
with her that they would huvo moro fun
than they had over known in their lives , and
inako moro money to boot She told them
they must receive callers ; that there were
lots of nice gentlemen came to her houso.
The llrst evening's solreo was Mifllcient.
Too lute , almost , the girls discovered to
what use they were to bo put. They re
belled , pleaded , wept iiud implored , but all to
uo avail ; thelllnty-hoarted madam refused to
allow thorn to leave her den. She had fulled
to compass their fall , but she had them In
her web and was determined on accomplish
ing liar end.
Lust night the two girls made their oscupo
and ran into Mr. Hoyt's houso. They asked
if they could remain there all night , in the
morning they would send for friends. They
were eared for.
About 1'J o'clock Mr. Hey t was aroused by
a knocking at his door. Ho poked his head
out the window and saw four men congre
gated about the door. He asked them what
they wanted. They said they wanted to
come In. Ho asked what for I They told him
ho know. Hovt then suspected what they
meant , and told thorn they hud mistaken the
house. They said they hud not , that MM.
Dubach told thorn that thcvv could go in there
and have a circus , that ho had some new girls
there.
Mr. Hoyt stated to a reporter yesterday
afternoon that the girls came to his wlfu and
asked for protection. Tlmt Dubach had
forced them to entertain men , and that when
they had protested had threatened them
with dire vengeance. The HoyU took them
in and rented them a room , allowing ono of
the girls to do housework and the oilier sew
ing.Tho
The cuso came up for trial yesterday after
noon , but Mine. Dubach not being able to get
her witnesses together , it was continued until
this afternoon. The girls are not as innocent
as their appearance would indicate. They are
known to many men , and one of them , while
replying to a reporter , was a trillo profane.
The case will bo given a thorough airing
before Judge Herka , but from facts gathered
it looks as if Mine. Dubach is in a serious
scrapo.
