"MOTE" TO THE IU1LL.YIU ) , Temporary IVrmlHHlon for Poles anil Wire * lo Tliii'tctmlh Hlriict- The injunction suit of the city vs. the ol- outrlo motor and the IClcctrlu light compan ies , restraining them from putting up poles and overhead wires on the streets of Omaha came up in the district court yesterday morning , Judges Domic , Groffnnd Wakely were on the bench , J.C. Cowln , counsel for the Motor com pany opened with the statement that addit ional nflldavita bad been Hied by the city , autl as they required careful examination , asked that the hearing of the argument go over until next Monday , nnd in the mean- tlmo the respondents could put In their answer. Oil behalf of the city , J. L , Webster re plied thut thu latter was ready to proceed wltb the case , but if the defense whhod n continuance ho would ask that it bo extended over to the 15th , as hu had a business en gagement In Now York for next Monday evening , and wished to leave for that city Saturday. General Cowin observed that there was no objection to be urged against this extension , Ji but suggested that , inasmuch as the poles had been erected on Uougla strcct as fur as tlio corner of Thirteenth by the Eloetrio Light company , and as arrangements could bo cflected with this company by the motor , und us it was the general petition of the citizens along the line , the motor should bo nllowed to put their wires for this distance and oparuto tuoir curs. Ho urged that it could result in no possible harm , and asked that the injunc tion bo modified BO that this could bo ac complished. Then , If it should bo deter mined at the Una ! hearing that the poles had been erected contrary to luw , they could betaken taken down , which hu assured the court the -T.W motor company would promptly do. If this tnodlfrcntion of the restraining order wpro granted , the defense would pros * no objec tion to the extension of the continuance to the tirno F > pecltl < Hl , Mr. Webster said the city could not con sent to such modification , because the posi tion of the defense is that they can erect tholr overhead wires In defiance of tlio char ter. To allow this mod Ideation , would , therefore , bo to concede the entire case. This thing of creating n public nuisance nnd say "wo will abate It after" a certain time , is beyond all precedence and reason , Ho didn't sco how this could bo done this sanctioning of an illegal and unlawful action. Mr. Connell for the Motor company , cited the provisions of tnc charter , and added that as soon as thu court determined that it is practical for them to operate their wires under ground , the overhead could bo de clared n public nuisance and removed. This could only be determined at tlio Html hear ing , and as the mod Ideation asked for by Mr. Cowln could effect no jmssiblu harm , ho hoped the court would grant It. John D. Howe , counsel for defense , hold that Mr. Webster was not consistent ; that ho had told him that if the city council passed an ordinance allow inir the erection of tlu-su poles , and overhead wires , that would end the c.ise. The council had done so , and there were absolutely no grounds for a restraining order. "Now after all this , " continued tlio gentle man , "tho city of Omaha , no , not the city of Omaha , but Mayor Hroatch , singlc-hamlod and alone , takes up the light on n plea that is absolutely devoid of merit. The council has never declared these poles n nuisance , yet the city , or Hroatch clamors for a re straining order. " Mr. Cowin did not coincide with his col league , in the statement that all tills opposi tion originated wltli Mr. Hroatch , from the fact that the Electric Light company was likewise to be enjoined from erecting their poles , for they furnished olectrie light and not gas. Ho repeated that he did not con sider It Mayor llroutch , nor tko city of Omaha cither , for that matter. The court took the matter under advise ment , and Just before adjourning Judge Doano announced their decision. Ho said : "Considering that the flnnl hearing would have to bo held over for two weeks , and as they could perceive of no injury accruing to property-holders or any one else , by allowing the stringing of thu wires along the line of Douglas street to the corner ot Thirteenth , if thu defendants were of a mind to take the risk of what may butho linulo of the nppllca- tiou for injunction , the court was disposed to modify the remaining order ns nsked. Therefore , tlio dofcndents may be pcrmlted to string tliolr wires and operate their cars , subject to the order of tlio court in the Html hearing of the case. There can bo no great Injury effected by the permission of tliis modification. If It is determined to bo injurious or unlawful , nn order may bo made accordingly. " General Cowin then added that it would probably require until Monday for them to nnswor to the additional affidavits liled by complainants , which was granted , and thu case was continued until the fifteenth.

Oxi : wno Kxow. This was bonded in by a man who claimed he had been employed by the Uridgo Motor company. When asked how long ho thought it would take to set the poles in the business portion of the city , ho replied that it might take a week , but ho thought that the company was being delayed in build ing its power-houso nnd car-shop. When nslced whether the company would not have to build a power-house and car-shop , oven if the motor conductors were laid under ground , ho said that that would bo the same , of course , but the company didn't want logo ahead until they had tlio poles set. He admitted that the objections to putting the wires under ground was probably to avoid the expense. There is nothing in existence that will equal Salvation Oil in curing pains in the.

HeVun Formerly Connected With the Union Pacific ntThU I'lnoc. It will bo remembered that Tun BEK of Tuesday contained the account of a startling sensation in a special telegram from Lowell , Mass. , in which Mrs. Mary Haskcll. Kev. William Huskcll , D. D. , a promising Congrcgationulist minister of that place , and ono James C. Wilkinson , formerly of Oniahu , figure conspicuously. It now trans pires that tlio James C. Wilkinson alluded to is the sauio indulidual , who , up to throe years ago wns connected with the Council Bluffs car accounting department of the Union Pacific. Inquiries at head quarters of the Union Pa cific to-day revealed the fact that after four and one-half years' service with that road Wilkinson resigned his position and made n tour through the east. 1 lo was absent about a year during which time ho married a widow.tho mother of two children , but whoso nnino could not bo learned. He returned to Omaha in ISSli , and opened a grocery store on the corner of Sixteenth nnd Cass streets. Hois said to have done a good business , but after putting in ono year in the now en terprise ho closed out Ins stock , nnd with hia family returned to the oast. The report that hu married a Miss Day , of Vermont , the daughter of a wealthy farmer , his friends here state must be erroneous , or else she resumed her maiden name , as his wife was the mother of two children at thu tlmo they were married. Wilkinson , or "Jim" as ho was commonly called , Is well known at the headquarters of the Union Pncilie , more especially among the clerks , with whom ho formerly associated. They speak of , him as being a genial , good fellow , but having a limited knowledge of what money Is made for. If ho has arrived in Omaha , as was reported , none of his former associates have seen him. Ho is thirty-eight years of ago nnd Is said to bo u good specimen of the human typo.

Irvington is not a town of great commer cial importance , but possesses many attrac tions ns a place of residence. It is situated in the beautiful and fertile valley of the Little Papio , eight miles northwest from Omaha by wagon road , and ten miles by rail. The past year has been one of marked pros perity for Irvington and vicinity. Entering the village from Omaha , the first place of business is the hardware and implement store of 13 , L. Hrewstor. This store was built during the past year , and has lately been enlarged nnd improved. It is now a largo building , with a hall in the third story. Mr. Hrewster intends also to erect a dwell ing house in the near future. The next business place is the store of H. S. Johnson , also completed during the past year. Mr. Johnson is the oldest merchant in the village and is well known for reliability and square dealing. He carries the usual miscellaneous stock of goods found in country stores , and also has a stock of drugs and a pub lic telephone station in his store. On the opK | > stc ! side of the street is the store of Peter Ililer. who lias hosts of friends nnd a large trade. Mr. Ililer deals in general incrcnandiso and runs a coal yard.

The Congregational church , Ilov. J. T. Oils pastor , is well supported , and the Sun day school connected with it is largo and in teresting. The public school is organized in two de partments under the instiuction of teachers who have been employed in the schools for several years. Tlio mill wheel has arrived nnd is in posi tion. It came all the way from Ohio. Messrs. H. P. Knight and sons have com menced excavating for the foundation of anew now hotel. The practice of dehorning cattle was Intro duced into this vicinity by P. II. Hibbard nbout two years ngo. Although at first thought the act of cutting off an animals horns seems to bo ono of needless cruelty , still it is found , in prac tice , that the advantages far out weigh the objections.

Tlio whole congregation and friends from the country to the number of 200 par ticipated in tlio affair. . Somewhat later in the night Santa Glaus made his appearance at Poppenlmger's hall , where a large , well-grown cedar , sixteen feet high and wide in proportion , shone forth in all its glory. Ucing in the center of tlio spacious room , the latter seemed to bo but a small apartment , nnd the numerous visitors from towns und country , old and young , looked like boys nnd girls in the mcs- encc of the gigantic evergreen. Music and singing opened and closed the proceedings' here , too. Santa Glaus , in the person of George Hoetcl , und ut other times as lively as a lish in water , though well dressed , did liis work quite silently.
