„
Two Versions AH to How They Ool
Throtifth HIP tmstofllcc.
James Crclghton denies the report that ho
has been distributing Jefferson square liter
ature through the postoflleo delivery windows
dews minus postage stamps and addresses.
Titr. HEC received Its first Information that
such was the case from a gentleman to whom
was handed ono of the p.implilcts last Sun
day , nnd who said : "I saw several others
treated In like manner. "
Yesterday n reporter for Tun HEP. met
Mr. CrciRhten on Fifteenth street nnd xvent
nt him with n demand to know what nssur-
anco lie had for being so bold ns to defy the
postal laws nnd audaciously use the post
oflleo as an aid to his wild scheme.
Tlio old gentleman hrnced up , assumed
something of an indlgimninlrnnd vigorously
declared that ho was doing nothing of the
kind.
"Are you not distributing your printed
matter in the shnpo of dlmo novel pamphlets
through the pnstofllcu without having them
properly stamped I"
"No , we are not. Every pamphlet circu
lated through that channel has been nut up
In n goveinment wrapper. 1 bought $110
worth of them , and Tom Fltzmorris has been
engaged In wrapping nnd addressing every
doi-uiniMit put Into the postoflleo. "
After the Interview with Mr. Crelghton , a
call was made on Assistant Postmaster
Woodnrd by the rcportorlnl Investigation ,
nnd from what he could learn
there thn boomers cither took a
n tumble to themselves nnd rectified an
attempt at fraud tlmt was quickly discovered
nnd charged against them , or a mistake was
madu somownere. Mr. Woodurd showed
the scrlbu a pile of the pamphlets , nnd they
were found to bo doubled in ono cent govern
ment wrappers and each boronnnina together
with the number and street , at which It waste
to bo loft by the postman. Said he : "All
the pamphlets of this kind given out hero
have been stamped. Wo would not duro
to glvo them out unless they were.
Continuing his Investigations further Tun
Hun rcpiesontntivo sought Superintendent of
Carriers Plata. Ilonssorts tlmt overiono of
the polyglot pamphlets was properly
wrapped , stamped and addressed. He stated
that everyone handled by a carrier had gene
through the process required by the postal
regulations.
"jut there are numerous complaints from
pitirens that the pamphlets were brought to
them by carriers minus wrapper , stamp or
address , " said the reporter. "Do/ens of
them were handed out in this way Sunday
morning to business men when they called
for their mail. "
TIICV Sr.Ct'ltCI ) CONSENT.
" 1 admit that , " said Mr. Platz. "In - addressing
dressing tlio pamphlets the names were
taken from an old directory. You know In n
city like Omaha pcoplo are constantly
changing residence , hence the bulk of the
addresses were wrong. To got rid of the
pamphlets containing wrong addresses wo
secured the consent of the senders to re
move the wrappers and allow the carriers to
hand them out to residents on their trips.
Tlmt is why so ninny of the Jefferson square
documents were delivered without stamps or
addresses. The postal laws permit of our
disposing of such matter in that way. "
McArdlo , of the Jim Creighton wigwam ,
was seen nnd said the pamphlets were mailed
Saturday morning. From this it is deduced
that from that time until Sunday noonwhen
the uniuldiebsed pamphlets were bunded out
in the postofllcu , enough time had not elapsed
in which to determine that they were not
properly addressed.
JIM ANI ) JOHN.
Tliey Porjjct to Set Up tlio Beer Vor
the Workci'H.
Things wcro quiet about the Jefferson
square wigwam ycs'erduy. In the recep
tion room Secretary McArdlo was found
with a mangy yellow dog f jr his only com
panion. lie was going over a newspapei
clipping , probably preparing campaiun mat
ter. Tne window near him was open , and
lie occasionally looked across the street to
"n-suic-cure-for-rlieumatisu " advertisement
- - - - )
seeking inspiration.
The yellow dog , alter a sniff or two at the
visitor , had curled up in a streak of sunshine
and gone to sleep. Nothing broke the dead
silence that pro vailed .save the scratching of
the great secretary's v nlcon , and an occas
ional ejaculation from Jim Creighton , who
was conferring with a few chosen followers
in lloom 21 , across the hall.
The reverie of this visitor and the literary
efforts of Mr. McArdlo were alike inter-
ruptcdby a voice from the doorway.
"Misther McArrtle , " said the uow-comor ,
whoso every feature nnd accent indicated a
gentleman of foreign extraction. "Misther
McArctle , tliim divols down in the First
ward air kickin' over the thraces. "
"What's the matter with them i" inquired
the crcat secretary ,
"Well , it's all about the beer. They told
the byes to Mould a tncctin' down there lost
noight on' they would slim down a keg of
beer , an' the beer didn't come.
"Well it was an oven > ight. Wo were so
busy yesterday wo forgot it. Tell "em to
hold n meeting to-night and wo will send
down two kegs. "
"Yis , nut they say they won't have nny-
thinfr more to do wid yces ; that ye broke
your word an' they will hereafter leave yecs
alone. Unt 1 tell. vo what I'll do. You give
mo the money to buy the beer an' I will
hould the meettn' . "
The great secretary didn't know about
this and went with his visitor to KCO Jim
Creighton , and as the great secretary soon
came back alone , he was probably satisfied.
Jim Crolghlon and Major Furnv were clos
eted In room 24 , and had no time to talk
with nowbpiper men , nnd tlio anticipated
pleasures of an eulogy upon the beauties of

THU UNION PACIFIC'S ANSWER
Why ItnTolrsmiih .system should Noi
Ho Intcifurtil With.
The Union Pacific through Its attorney ,
has tiled nn nnswcr In the United
States court nt thlsplnco in which it Is made
defendant by the Western Union Telegraph
company , plaintiff. Tlio respondent states
that it has no knowledge or Information suf
ficient to form n belief touching the matters
therein alleged In the complaint filed by the
plaintiff concerning the organisation , rights ,
property nnd franchises claimed ,
or the successive consolidations therein
nvcrrod or of the riehts thus acquired by the
complainant. Tim defendant avers that be
tween Omnha nnd Ogdcn it constructed , pur
suant to nn act of congress. , the railroad and
telegraph line which was so required by the
net. It admits that some other telegraph
company constructed between Omaha nnd
Ogden nlong its line , a telegraph lini1 , but It
does not know or admit that such telegraph
line was a line of telegraph which was r6-
moved to nnd placed along defendant's line of
road between Omaha and Ogdon. Defendant
admits tlmt in September , ISliO , It entered
Into a contract with tlio . 'Atlantic & Pacific
Telegraph company , whereby iho Union Pa
cific company undertook to lease and devise
to the said Telegraph company all its
telegraph lines and equipments to have and
to hold the same during tlio whole term of
charter of said road nnd renewals thereof ;
subject to iho rights of the United States
and on condition that the said telegraph
company would faithfully perform nil the
duties Imposed thereby. The defendant ,
states that the Atlantic .t Pnuillc Telegraph
company In consideration of the
lease , gave to It n portion of
the stock of said telegraph company. The
defendant states that in isso the American
Union Telegraph company having con
structed lines of tcletrraph to Council Bluffs
nnd Omnhn demanded thnt the defendant
perform all of its telegraphic duties nsspecl-
lied In the act of congtossof ISM. In order
to comply with the demand the dcfenso
states that it repossessed Itself of said tele
graph line and property that was formerly
leased to the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph
company on the ground that the right to
lease the lines was beyond the power of the
Union Pacific company. The defendant de
nies thnt the Western Union built
the telegraph line from Kansas
City to Denver , nnd maintains that
the Raid line was built by the Western r.iil-
rpad comp.my.now known as the Kansas Pa
cific railroad company , which is now a portion
tion of the Union Pacifie system ; and also
denies that the government of the United
States accepted any telegraph line built by
the complainant ns a performance by said
Kansas company , and denies that said com
plainant was in any way reimbursed by the
plaintiff for the construction of said line. On
the contrary , it states that it was known to
all tlio parties concerned that the said tele
graph line was this property of the railroad
company. The defendants cite that owing
to the act of congress August 7 , isfsb , in
which it becomes tlio imperative duty of the
Union Pacillc to operate and maintain
through Iheir own respeclivo corporate o11- !
ccrs and employes , telegraph lines , and exer
cise by themselves alone all the telegraphic
franchises conferred upon them , the contract
of 1881 with the Western Union is superse
ded , and that , with the exception of Omaha ,
Fremont , Grand Island , Cheyenne and Og
den the defendant has as yet lived up to its
said contract. The defendant admits Unit for
a distance of .720 miles from Omaha westward
nlonir the line of railroad , which was form
erly the line of the Union Pacific , and now
known n the main line ( Union Division ) of
the Union Pacilchavingdecayed ! and needed
constitution , have ucen replaced by n single
line of new poles situated on the defendant's
right of way , but denies that said line was
constructed by the plaintiff , and avers that
the same was constructed jointly by the plain
tiff and defendant. The defendant also de
nies that the plaintiff has strung three wires
fiom Omaha to North Platteand two beyond
North Plntto for the use of defendant , and
avers that two of the wires referred to be
tween Omaha and North Plat to wcro these
originally leased by the defendant to thu At
lantic & Pacific telegraph company ; also
that the third wire was constructed by the
defendant nt its own cost and without any
assistance on the part of the plaintiff : also
that the two wires which the plaintiff alleges
to have strung west of North Plattc were
these leased bv the Union Pacific to the Atr
lantic & Pacific telegraph company , and that
the wires were merely trnnstcrrcu from ils
old to the new poles. The defendant asks
that the cane bo dismissed and that the plain
tiff bo restrained from interfering in the
mutter.

STUUCK BY AN J3NG1NK.
A U. P. Ynrrtninn Seriously Injured
While nt Work.
Con Hetzler , assistant yardmastcr of the
Union Pacillc at this place , had n narrow escape -
capo from death late Sunday afternoon.
Ho was walking in the yards east of the
depot when suddenly ho was hurled from the
track u distance of ten feet by n switch on'
gino that approached from the rear. The
beam of the engine , No. 1,103 , struck him
in the back , nnd threw him between
the wheels of a flatcar which was standing
on tlio opposite side. His face was badly
cut by the cinders and clinkers on the track
nnd a severe scalp wound was made in his
head when it came in contact with the
wheels of the flat car. He was rendered
unconscious for a short time , and afterwards
conveyed to his room on Seventh avenue nnd
Pierce street , where a physician attended
him. The cut in the head is not considered
dangerous but the blow which ho received in
tlio back has injured ins spine nnd may
result fatally or make him a cripple for life.
Mr. Hetzler Is unmarried and is said to have
parents residing at some point in Iowa. It
Is stated that when the engine struck him , it
was running ut a rapid rate and that no
signal was sounded.

The preference given below nro those of
men who nro heavy Omaha real cstnto own
ers , nnd consequently heavy taxpayers :
Hyron Heed Inm In favor of locating both
the postofltco and city hall on the hill.
Eighteenth occupies the same relation to
Omaha as Fifth street noes to St. t/mis.
The site is high nnd sightly and loc.itcd on
an eminence. The property in the vicinity
can bo bought cheap now , but in my opinion
it is Just as valuable for business purposes as
the level ground below Fifteenth streot. As
regards those who Invested money in prop
erty In the vicinity 1 do not think It should
have any bearing on the case ; they took the
risk without considering that private inter
ests care nothing for public Interests in Iho
location of public buildings. Notwitstand-
ing , I nm decidedly in favor of completing
the clly hall on the present site.
Kx-Scnntor Saundcrs I prefer thn hill for
all public buildings. I helped to locate the
high school building on the hill , nnd 1 have
never regretted it. It advertises Omaha. It
is the llrst .structure noticed by the traveler
entering Onmlm from any direction. I
would prefer more ground in the present lo
cation , and it can be hud if it is wanted.
Jefferson square should bo preserved for the
people. It would bo a mistake to erect a
public building on it. During my recent
visit to New York city I was struck by the
beauty of the public squares which abound.
No public buildings nro near them , but the
front doors of the leading hotels ot thu
metropolis open out on them. Private cap
ital has been invested on Farnam street on
the strength of Omaha's promise , once ex
pressed at the polls , that the city hall would
bo erected on Eighteenth street. Our firm
sold the Hurley corner on Seventeenth and
Farnam streets to Missouri capitalists on
the promise that the New York Life would
croet their mngnilircnt structure opposile ,
and the city would erect its building a bloeK
distant. I am strongly opposed to a change
of site.
Alfred Millnrd ( spcnkintj for the E/.ra Mll
lnrd estate ) The Farnam street site offers
abundant room to erect a building lo accom
modate a city oflOO.lXX . ) people. It is con
venient for all classes , offers abundant light
and ventilation and is central and accessible.
The location has been decided once , nnd if it
can be changed now It can bo changed indef
initely. Our bank ( Commercial Nntional )
purchased the old city hall lot on Sixteenth
and Farnam streets , and intend to eiect a
banking house there the coining season , Thu
fact Unit the corner of Eighteenth and Far
nam hud been decided on for the new city
hall contributed , in a degree in deciding us to
invest on Sixteenth street. It is u ridiculous
proposition to separate the court house nnd
the city hull by half n mile. The squat o
should bo kept for a public park and 1111-
pioved and beautified. It is no place for the
city building.
C. W. Hamilton I don't like either loca
tion , but as between the. two I prefer the Far
nam street site. In a few years it will bo
the business center ot the city. A decision
to camplete the building there would benefit
mo personally , but I would pieler to sou
more room secured.
Lewis S. Ueed The city hall has been lo
cated on Eighteenth and Farnam streets and
I prefer to st-o it remain there.
Henry W. Yates I nm not particularly in
favor of the square. I favor it against the1
present site only because it affords more
room for the erection of , a suitable build- >
ing.
ing.Herman
Herman Kount70 As between the two
places I think my interests would bo best
served if the city hall is located on Jefferson
square. As to the location of the city hall
for convenience and accessibility of the pub
lic , I think neither of the two is the best lo
cation that might have been selected , Jeffer
son squro being too far north for thu con
venience of the buf ness of the city and the
present situ being on the hill is somewhat
difficult of access. All such buildings should
bo placed near the business center of a city
and without reference to the residence per
tion. However , the city hall was placed on
the present situ by n vote of the
pcoulo and largu nnd important
property investments and improvements
have been made on the faith
of its location , and it is unfair and unbusi
nesslike to destroy property investments
after they have been created on the basis
that the city would carry out in good faith
its promises to the community. I do not
believe that the present site is adapted to
the erection of a building , such as sonic of
our citizens contemplate , costing about ? oOO.-
000 , which with the ordinary results of such
buildings will expend the contemplated
cash , and thu city will find on its hands a
building costing * W > 0,000 or $ TO)00. ( ) ( ) The
maintenance of such n building will be a
constant and permanent burden to the city ,
and in our present condition wo arc not pre
pared to enter upon such un enterprise. For
a city hull such as was at first contemplated
the present site is ample and sufficient , and
such a building would afford to the city all
the accommodations that are needed for
many years to come. In fact , I question
whether the present city hall in Now York
city has any more spare room for offices than
the building proposed to be erected on thu
present site.
Meyer Hcllman The Farnam street slto Is
close to the court house. The people have
voted on it once , and that decision should bo
repeated. The location is n fur better ono
than Jefferson Squat o. It Is wrong to in
duce capital to invest in Omaha on promises
m ail o nt the polls and then endeavor to go
back on these promises. These investors
should bo protected if Omaha wishes to sus
tain her good reputation. I consider the pros-
cntsitu ample to crcctabuildini ; largu enough
to accommodate Omaha for fifty years to
como.
George Krup , Traveling Manager An-
heuser-HuschlJrowing Association Omaha's
city hall should bo erected on the Farnam
street site. Uy doing so faith will bo kept
with outside investors. I have induced my
house to invest iOO,000 In Omaha , the most
of It in thu line buildings recently completed
on Thirteenth and Jones streets. This was ac
complished by1 showing them Omaha's advan
tages , and the push , enterprise and integrity
of her citizens. Thu Farnam street site is
thu best for general convenience ,
Frank Murphy The present site Is cen
tral , convenient and eligible. A start was
made there , and the building should bo
pushed to completion on the foundations al
ready laid.
Fred Motz I want the building completed
on Farnam street. You can't convince mo
that n do/.on disgruntled property owners
uio all Omaha , and Iain not going to belt )
them on In their light against the public good ,
The money of thu taxpayers has been in
vested In a foundation , nnd It should not bo
wasted. It is our duty us good citizens to
see to it that outside nnd louilcanitulists who
have Invested money on the faith of prom
ises madu at the polls should bo protected.
Ilim just fresh from an armiinont had in a
Tnlrteonth resort on this quustlon , and I was
gratified to Jlnd that wheirwo wcro through
the dozen voters composing tlio party agreed
to cast their ballots for the present site.
W. G , Albright The ipropor place for
Omaha's city hall Is near * the court house.
The money already pall out for thu founda
tion should not bo wasted , and Investors
should bo protected.
H. T , Clarke I expect to vote for Jeffer
son square. I hava property near there. I
think it is thu best location because it
affords more room.
Dick McCormlck Finish the building on
Farnam street and keep our public buildings
together. Omaha's reputation us a place
Tor Investment will bu seriously damaged , if
ivc make a change after it has been decided
George Mills t agree with Mr , McCor-
ralck.
N
Aaron Calm Farnam street is the place.
It was voted thcro once and thcro it should
remain.
George A. Hnaghind I prefer the Fnrnam
itrcot situ. Of course It will bu sttld that
jocausu I own considerable properly in the
I'icinity I favor It for selfish ramons. Not-
kvithstundinu' that I want U un lursloail that
I am decidedly opposed to brea'.ng faith
with local or outside Investors , who nrc
putting money Into fine sttucturcs in Omaha ,
nnd contributing to making her the city she
Is destined to be. Instead of removing the
city hall to satisfy selfish reasons. I nm in
favor of completing it on the present site ,
nnd giving to the New York Life nnd TUB
Hnn building company whatever bcnotlts
that may nccruo from Its close proximity.
The present location J9 the most convenient
nnd accessible. It has once been located
there and should bo completed where llrst
begun.
Mnrkel & Swobo , proprietors of the Mll
lnrd Wo nro decidedly In favor of Farnam
street.
W.r. . Morse Don't consider mo one of
Omaha's heavy taxpayers , for I am not , but
you can put me down as strongly opposed to
Jefferson square fora city hall site. It seems
n ridiculous proposition to separate our pub-
lie buildings when experience has demon
strated the convenience of having them to
gether. If 1 go to the grocery store to buy
my provisions I want to get my coffee , tea ,
stiinir , butter , etc. , m ono place. I won't
patronl/o ono limn for some and go half n
mile to another man for other culinary com
modities , if I po to the court house to pay
my county takes I want to have the city hall
convenient and kill two birds with one stone ,

on the Qnlct ,
Chief Hoomcr Jim Crclchton met a young
real estate nnd loan agent on the street
recently , nnd followed the programme to bo
carried out regularly by all the subordinate
boomers.
The chief was setting an example for the
subordinates to emulate.
Ho stopped the real estate agent , and , ac
cording to the latter , a conversation some
thing like this ensued :
Chief Uoomor Are you with us in this city
hull flghti

C. Is.We're on the rlcht side , Lot mo

( Then followed a resume of the contents of
the yellow-covered pamphlet. )
H. E. A. Your reasons nro not stroiiR
enough to convince me that Jefferson square
\stho \ best location. Hnvojou any better
ones !
C. U. Say , young man , I'll tell you some
thing on the quiet. I'm not half as anxious
to have a city hall built on Jefferson square
us I am to beat that Hosewater.

The Omaha Guards have abandoned the
idea of a ti ip to Washington , because the pro
ceeds of thu late fair would not pay
the expenses of the trip and the cost of the
uniforms. These are to consist of dark blue
coals trimmed with blade , pantaloons
of n lighter shade with a heavy bear skit
chakos nnd white cross bolts and nmmuni
tion pouches. They claim i
tlio legislature appropriate any
thing for them they will bo nbt
to make the trip to New York , and hold that
they nlc probably as much entitle J to sucl
assistance as any militia company in the
slate. The reason thc.y assign for not having
enrolled as militia is that there
was no appropriation for then
when they orgam/cd , and they further
say that when there is an appropriation
available they will enroll ns the Nebraska
National guards. They now compiise be
