THE OMAHA DAILY BBBi THURSDAY , FEBRUARY" 7. 5889 , . v THE PEOPLE TRIUMPHANT , ffhoy Successfully Locate the Olty HalL on Farnam Stroot. THE JEFFERSONIANS ROUTED Ocncrnl SntlHf.iotlon With the Itcsult nnd the Certainly of Immediately CoinmnncliiK to Itulld tha Btriicturc. The HcHiilt. The counting oJ the ballots in most cuses Wan done In a lazy manner nnd n great deal of diniculty was experienced in getting the returns , To-dny there Is nothing but rejoicing among the Farnam street people nnd com plete satisfaction over the result. The sewer , paving nnd railroad bonds Jailed to receive the noco sary two-thirds majority and the propositions will have to ngaln bo submitted. The voters wore too busy in nailing the rcpudlators to pay much attention to other Issues. How It Wan Won. The election of Tuesday In which the people spoke through the instrumentality of the ballot on the city hall site was perhaps tha hottest local contest over waged In this city. In the major portion of the wards a heavy vote was polled and ns a total a deliberate sentiment In favor of Fanmm street has been expressed. As to the way in which the tide would turn was n matter that exorcised both sides at the opening of the polls nirt the lingering doubts did not vacate the minds of many ns to which way it would go until the shades of nightfall be gan to envelope the city. But the Fnrnam street clement was confident from the start , ami as the voting was kept up with unusual activity all day throughout tlio city , the Fiirnam street faction realized that vic tory was Inevitable. The Third , Fifth and Sixth wards were the contested battlegrounds - grounds , nnd it was at these points that Long.Inn Crcighton and Pat Ford but In their combined "strength. " In ( ho Third ward the Crcighton-Ford combine centered Its forces and tlio whilom dlciplcs of Iko Hnscnll inado a strong pull for victory. But such was not the will of the pcoplo , and by judicious work the Far nam street men rolled up n handsome ma jority In both precincts , nnd completely J > cnt Paddy Ford to his .final seclusion long before the polls closed. The "rotten sycamore" was on Iho ground nt the First precinct of the Third ward and nt 4 o'clock ho made , his way to Paddy Ford nnd Informed him in a whisper that the Jef ferson scpiaro side had been literally duped by itH own workers and that defeat stared them In the face. "Wo must try and defeat the bonds , " re marked Foghorn Jim , "or else wo are .shame fully (1) ( ) beaten. " "Hate nothln' " remarked the astute Paddy Ford , ns ho set his proboscis nt right nnglo by a scrub from his coat sleeve , "sliure ivcrybody has voatcd for thlm. " The willowy form of Long Jim the next moment was making its way down Daven port street in the direction of his residence , where be .will remain until the next session of the ground hog. In the Fifth ward , although the center of the light nnd the homoof tlio Jefferson square boomers , nlso the location of the site , the ballots were handed in rapidly and it was by Iinrd work nud downright kicking that gave the ward to the JclTcrson square gang. But upon the whole , although both sides kept up active work at the polls from the hour of opening to the closing , to the eye of the ordinary ob- Borvor , victory was on the Farnam street Bide at noon , and the question that prevailed was ns to how large a majority could bo ob tained. As to repeaters and fraudulent voters the election was free from them. The Returns. The result so far as ascertained Is as fol lows : g 8 rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr It II tints spaon II II illDOOO'OOCl SsS spuou spuouA A , I oon'ii spuou JDiiog OOO'OOU BU rao'ooii yiio Ordinnnoo Prohibits Uiincoossary Doluy In Ki-outlni ; thu City Hnll.

" Mayor Uroatnh , City Attorney Webster , nd several councllmcn wcra sought on the ubjoct , but could not bo found. Council- inn llcdford , however , said that section was very clear and loft nothing to l" mlsundorstood. * 'I don't think , " ho fani , "that thorn will be any trouble about the linmodlato commencement of the work upon the city hull. Everybody Is satis fied except two or thrco pcoplo who have personal motives to actuate them. I nm Batlsllcd that plans will bo procured immedi ately mid that worU-wlllbocomuiunccdus peen ns possible. " "Mu t now plans for tlio building bo tnudol" "Yes. The old ones were wiped out in the , and my Idea is that ethers must o procured and that they ouuht to bo Ivhooped up so ns to enable the building to bo put under \vtiy Immediately. " * Other members of the council were met nnd nil of them expressed a desire to push the matter just as rapidly as It can bo done.

"I know wo would be , bccaus.0 our money was exhausted n wcclc aqo , ami you fellows had not yet begun worlc. It was not a question of prin- clpto. but one of money. " "How about the 800 business men who signed a plcdgo to work for Purnaui street and get out nil the votes possible do you think they worked for money or principle ! " ' Well , you fellows by some means do- oluintcd our forces , and at the last you proved to b too many for us , " Well Kutlsfleil. "How you would bo surprised If I should toll you I voted fur Farmun street , wouldn't youi" said Postmaster Gallagher , . ' 1 don't ay I did , but I am in favor of Iho location of the city hall where It will bo built soonest , nnd I nm coall- ilent It cannot bu built on Jnftcr on square inside of live years , I am not fighting Jlosowater In this raaTior. Ho do serve ? n Rrcat deil of credit for what ho has done for the city. 1 own properly near .Tcf- fcrson square , but tha location of the city hall there will not cnhnnco my property ono lota , I shall ba well satisfied if the Parnain street people win this fight. " Olntl It's Over. Jim CrelRhton and J. U. Furay wcro founJ atone nt the wigwam. "We're boat , " said the former , "but It wa' money that did It , I nm willing to bet that 2,0tt ) was spent In the Second district of the Third ward alone. " "And lliero was Just about ns much used In the Eighth , too , " Interrupted Furay , "I have lived out there too long not to Know the sentiment of those licoplo and I tell you that such a result could not hnvo been brought about by nny other means than the lavish expenditure of money. " "Hut you don't mean to toll mo that you follows didn't spend money , " said the re porter. "Wo didn't ' spend one-fifth ns much as the other sulo did , " answered Croighton , "Wo didn't hnvo it to. " "You consider that your chief inlsfortuno then ! " stijrgostod the visitor. The great sachem didn't aelirn a reply to tills , but went on in n different strain. "N'ow that the matter of location has boon decided , " said hove want the city hall built ns soon ns possible. Wo nro no obstruc tion ists , nnd are not going to enjoin further proceedings nnd all that , as Kosewator threatened to do. " "Thero will be ono boncflclal result of the election,1'ho continued after a brief inter val. "It will result In a public building of some character being plncod on tlio square. " "Well , how do you feel ; pretty ttrcd I sup pose ! " "Tired , well , I should say so , I nm sixty- eight years old and never put in such a month before in my life. I am glad It's over. " "How does tha situation strike you to day 1" asked n reporter of Major Fur.iy , who was concealed behind his spectacles in a high coat collar. "I must admit that there was a severe nnow storm in this locality nud I was out in it. " "Tho chill has not left mo yet. " "Yes. " said County Treasurer Holdeii , "tlioso follows roped mo In , and I win n , Tof- forson square boomer. Wo went under tin nvnlunohe , ana I am glad of It. The thing Is Bottled now. " The Dnsot-toil Wigwam. The wigwam was silent. A solitary gas Jot shod a flickering light over the bowed head of Secretary McArdlo. The halls nnd corridors no longer resounded - sounded to the majestic tread of Jim Creigh- ton j the voice of Fur.iy was no longer heard ; Pat Ford , Joe Hcdnmn , Tom Swift , none wcro there. McArdlo was alone. The secretary didn't ' look happy. There was nu nlr of dejection about the man and in sympathy with his mood the reporter dropped into n chair and hold his pence. The scratch of the secretary's pen wns the only sound that brouc the death-liko silence. At leiiRth ho Boomed , to have Mulshed his task , nnd turning in his chair discovered the reporter. "Well I" questioned ho. "How do you fool to-night , Mac ? " asked tlio visitor. "Don't feel very good. If I tell you some thing you wont give mo away , will you ! " "Certainly not. " "Well , I have a girl that plays the piano , nnd I have been composing a Valentino to sand her. I felt in that kind of u mind to night sort of pensive , you know. Would you llko to hear it ! " " Yes , llro away. " The lovelorn secretary cleared his throat , and in an "I-lovo-you-Uuiiing" tone of voica began reading : "TO AxonnciA. " Sweet turtle dove , You I love , Moro than 1 can tell you ; Especially when you play On the pmn " "Say , Mac , " interrupted the visitor. "What ! " "Don't. Let the matter drop right there. To change the subject , how about the elec- tlonl" "Well , the Parnain street fellows won , but It was only because our money gavu out before - fore their's ' did. This election doesn't ' voice the sentiment of tlio people. " "Don't you think .you rather run against a stump , Mac ? " "I haven't. I didn't hnvo much personal feeling in the matter. I can't afford to buck c , man like Mr. liosowator. " "Why did you take part in this fight for then ? " "I was forced into it. If Mr. Hosewntor had given mo work my influence would have BOIIO for him. " "In the light of the result Its rather lucky ho didn't , ch , Mao ? " "On , wellof course you can make fun of mo if you want to , " and the great organizer turned back to his Valentino with a look of idjurcd innocence overspreading his cherubio countenance. NOICB. The city hall bonds carried by a safe two thirds majority. The genius who \yroto Jim Crclghton's arguments ( ? ) in the double-barrelled de- buto bus been voted u leather medal. Unlcombo says it was boodle that carried the day. How was it about the Fourth ward that gave over eleven hundred major ity for Farnnm street ? That ward Is com posed mostly of business men nnd taxpayers who worked the entire day at the polls. When n man comes to Omaha to view the city hall ho will not have to look through a telescope. Tlicro was not much comfort for Furay nnd Hnlcombo to extract out of the returns from tlio Eighth ward , although It is the homo and the boasted stronghold of the Jefferson square boomers. The first district gave Farnam street a majority of UJ votes out of a total of 4'M , while the second dis trict gave Jefforuon square a majority of but 'Jl votes out of u total of 557. Hnscall got out front under the wreck quicker than , anybody. Within sixty min utes ho bobbed up at the council meeting. Bub Unlcomo Is disgusted , but that will not prevent him resuming his lucrative posi tion In the board of public works rooms. The ready-made plan for the Jefferson square city boll will bo revised and re touched by Bomo of the ready-made archi tects Joe Krdman says ho Is going to move out of the Fifth ward forever. "Tho ungrateful wretches" of that ward have set down on him twlcti within two months. Farnam street men will thank Jim Croigh ton for fixing up his pot city hall ordinance providing that tno council shall immediately after the election proceed with the plans and work on the now city hall building. This Will bo a bitter dose for the arch repudlator to swallow , How the mighty ore fallen I Hitchcock says ho In glad this light is over. His private interests pulled him up Farnam street nnd the Interests of his father-in-law pulled him toward Jefferson square , and bo- twoun the two ho , HH usual , found himself astrldo n barb-wiro f-ico. , The Jefferson squnro boomers spent , It Is estimated , about if 10,000 to gain their point. "I knmv , " said gentleman to-dny , "Hint they had 47,500 subscribed nearly two weeks ago , and 1 aUo know that they added con siderable later. Hut they spent It on bum mers before tlm day of oluctlon , when it would have done thoin most pood. " The last report of JOB Uednmn ana Iho Uascnll Is to the effect that they were aim lessly wandering urra-in-arni , In Jefferson square , "This In our second defeat In two months , " said Iko , passionately. "So It is - Bo it U , " sadly murmured Joe !

The coroner nnd his Jury appeared in th < council chamber promptly at 11 o'clock yesterday morning , the lieu : named In the adjournment ol Tuesday afternoon , nnd called upon nt cyo-wltncss to the falling of the Meyer building , J. O. Fisher , of loll Farnnm street , directly opposite the building that was blown down. This witness said : "Two ot three minutes bcforo the building went down I had warning In the striking of the telephone wlre.s , to which Miss Hull , In our establishment , called my attention , saying that there was n cyclone coming. I thought that there was nothing In her fears , but when the striking ot the Wires wns repented two or thrco times I ran out. Upon co'nlnij to the opposite side of ono plnco I found that the Meyer building wns down ami that the street was filled with dust. The location ol Uunliiir , HOycr nnd Olson appeared to Iw turned around. I sent out two or three iwys , and told them that tlioro were people In the wreck. A few minutes later Uunbnr's ' men came to the front window , forcing their way through the broken timbers nml glass , nnd stood there until some pcoplo put up boards , on which they slid down to the ground , Afterwards the firemen olnccd lad ders in front of tha building and took out two or three persons who wcro still there , unable to extricate themselves. The upper east wall fell out on Dutibor's prlnthiGr oftlco llrst and burst It over on to Olson's building. After the llro nnd before the nccldcnt I did not think that the walls were at nil dangerous , but thought that the cor nices and other loose pieces attached to the walls ought to have been removed ns they wore constantly fulling. " With the examination of this witness the taking of testimony was concluded and the coroner nnd his jury retired within their own counsel to deliberate on a finding. The Vcrtllot. The following verdict wns returned : That the said Edward Olson. Randolph Mitchell , Peter Hoycr , Mtko Martin , Samuel Loin- bard and Thomas Huston came to their death by the falling in of the building situ- nted at 1010 Farnam street , said building being crushed to the ground by the cast wallet ot the brick building ut lOii ) Farnam street , which was blown down by the high wind which prevailed on February 1,15S9 , between the hours of I and II o'clock p. m. Thu ovl- denco goes to show that no person or persons were to blame for the accident , but we , the Jurv , rcconunond that the city government nnd their ugunts bo more careful horeaflor in examining buildings damaged by fire. Itesncct For Peter Hoycr. The board of trauo met at thn chamber of commerce nt noon yesterday to take suitable action upon the death ot Peter Hoycr , who wns n member of the board at the time of his death ; In fact , ho had only returned a few days before the disaster from Cincin nati , where ho went with Euclid Martin and Max Meyer on business connected with the board. Tlio committee on memorials wns instructed to prepare proper resolutions of regret at the shocking death of Mr. Hoyor , nnd submit them at the next meeting of the board , nnd Col. Chase , Win.

The funeral ot Martin Meicko took place yesterday from Drexcl & Maul's ' under taking rooms. The remains were enclosed in a plain coflin and borne to the church ot St. Mary Magdalen , where the burial ser vice of the Catholic church was read by the IJov. F. Glauber , pastor of the church. The body was interred in the Gorman Catholic cemetery , the funeral comprising a few car riages containing the Immediate relatives and friends of the deceased. The funeral of Thomas Huston was hold nt" o'clock yesterday from St. Barnabas church. IJev. John Williams conducted the services. Huston's relatives all reside in England , except his father , a little old man who makes his homo at Milligan , in this state. Ho is very poor , but the people of that village subscribed to n purse and raised enough for him to come to Onrahannd attend his son's funeral. Ho arrived hero last night. The men at work digging away piles of broken brick and splintered timbers found a letter yesterday lying on Peter Boyer's desk , addressed to "C. 13. Dowey. Oinufia , Nob.

The funeral expenses of each of these was defrayed by D. C. Dunbar , who has himself lost everything in his business.

The trial of Beers in the district court drags its weary length along. Counsel for the state and defense are making a wary light. It is said that the case will not bo submitted to tno jury before to-morrow night. Messrs. Locso , Laws , Steen nna Hill re turned from Norfolk last night. They re port a dark state of affairs there connected with the Soudier tragedy. As yet , however , they are very reticent about making state ments , but it is given out that all the facts will come to the surface sooner or later. Colonel Majors , of Nomaha , says : "I have four boys and each one has a sister. " The newcomer was born on last Sunday nt 12 o'clock , and Majors is seemingly the hap piest man in the house of representatives.

The nnglo bars and bolts will also boor steel , and the new rails will bo of seventy-live- pound stocl , the heaviest itin.l manufactured. Ho will also visit Phtrnlvvilli ? . Pa. , where ho will Inspect and arrange for several now bridges that are soon to ho constructed on the Kansas division of the Union Paclllo. The Stntompiit Denied. Concerning n telogr.-im sant out from Bos ton to the elTect tliat C. S. Mellon , assistant general manager of the Union Pacific , had been tendered the general managership of the Baltimore & Ohio , Mr. Mellon states that he has not been tendered the position. He states that ho has been tendered an Im portant position with two Now England roads , but has declined in both instances. Ti-alllc Illocknded. The Union Pacitlc has not as yet Instituted the reduction in the differential rates engrain grain to Chicago , nnd the indications are that the matter will be adjudicated and that the standing 5-cent differential will bo maintained. But the issue made by the Union Pacific ai regards the division of the earnings has not been settled as yet , nnd upon this hinges its ac tion one way ortho other. In the meantime the grain market is uncertain for Omaha buy ers. When tlio announcement was made that the Union Pacilic was about to reduce the difcrential to Chicago , all grain dropped about one cent per bushel in Nebraska points , for the reason that the now market afforded by Chicago was lower than the St. Louis market , the one that was consuming tlio Ne braska grain product. The price has been restored , but the buyers uro uncertain as to what will result and the market has been rendered somewhat inactive. It is stated that a largo quantity of grain is still in the hands of tlio farmers and local dealers in Ne braska , nnd that but little traffic will result in this direction until a decisive nolut in the inferential standard has been established.
