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.

Section 1 , of the ordinance regarding the
submission to the pcoplo of the locating of
the city hall provides that "tlio work of cou-
ptructing the city hall shall bo commenced
pnd cnrrlcil forward without unnecessary
delay at such place of location as may re-
celvotho largest number of votes caU at
such election upon such question , and in ac
cordance with such plans ns may be adopted
by the mayor nud city council , and ns will
limit the cost of siild city hull to a sum not
oxoocdliiK WOO.OOO. "
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. All
the poll boxes and uooltu were brought in
from the vorlotm precincts this morning arid
loft with city citric Southurd. The council

On the street and nsltod him
tvlint , In his opinion , the outcome would bo.
'U'o nro beaten , " said Jim. "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.

of the Fifth ward forever. "Tho ungrateful

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

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

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

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. Hingham , H. G. Clarlc , C. F.

Otto Lobcch and John Evans wcro appointed
to attend the funeral as ofllciul representa
tives of the board. Upou motion President
Martin was imulo cliiiiriunti of the delega
tion. The secretary wns instructed to prepare -
pare a circular letter to the members ot the

IteniH or the Horror.
E. E , Hrcwu , general travelling agent of
the Unnkors Life Assurance association of
St. Paul , was in the city yesterday for the
purpose of settling up a policy held by the
late Uudolph Mitchell. It was for $ U)00 ( ) ,
nnd issued to Mr. Mitchell while he was
president of the state baulc at Lake Crystal ,
Minn.
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. " It appeared
from two or throe letters which could bo
distinguished on the postmark that it had
been mailed at some point In Montana. The
envelope is bespattered with blood and shows
evidences of having been lingered after tlio
building fell.
Peter Boyer and Edward Olson , will bo

o'clock and from their respective residences.
Beyer's funeral and budal will bo conducted
oy nnd under the auspices of the order of
Odd Follows. Olson's will bo conducted by
his friends.
The family of young Molcko , the young
man who was killed in the Meyer disaster ,
live on the bottoms and is In poor circum
stances. Tills is also the condition of Hous
ton's father. The funeral expenses of each
of these was defrayed by D. C. Dunbar , who
has himself lost everything in his business.
It was suggested yesterday that some
charitably disposed people would bo willing
to render financial aid to these suffering per
sons In their bereavement.
Tlio ruins nro still a place of attractionnnd
Idlers can bo seen lingering about the ill-
fated place , gazing with morbid curiosity ut
the heaps of brick and molar that lie there
serving as u reminder of the terrible disas
ter. The north wall of the frame building
occupied bv Olson ut thotlmoof the accident ,
has totteroil over until it has about reached
the ground. Ono man wns at work on the
east wall of the Meyer building yestotduy ,
knocking oft such portions as were liable to
fall.

the tlnio of the disaster , nud a stranger In
the city , called at No. 3 hose company's

the captain to bo distributed amongst the
members of the company. The captain
thanked the man , but said that ho could not

will come to the surface sooner or later.
Colonel Majors , of Nomaha , says : "I have
four boys and each one has a sister. " The

Union I'nclllo Improvements.
General Purchasing Agent Mclvibbcn , of
the Union Pacific , has gone to points in the
cast to purchase n large quantity of nngto
bars and bolts to ba used In the laying of the
17,000 tons of steel rails recently purchased.

pound stocl , the heaviest itin.l manufactured.
Ho will also visit Phtrnlvvilli ? . Pa. , where ho
will Inspect and arrange for several now

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.
