The ordinance to prohibit and regulate the erection ol pales by any street ruilway com pany along the streets of Omaha was next taken up , and on motion It was ordered that the committee recommend its passage. It provides that the erection of poles and the stretching of wire thereon In the streets of the city of Omaha by any street railway company now existing or hereafter organ ized is hereby prohibiton.

After a live minutes' recess , Chairman Leo called the council to order , and the misdemeanor ordinance was killed by a vote of 7 to 0. The ordinance regulating the erection of poles for the use of electric street cars was more fortunate , und Became a law by a vote of 12 to 1. One or two grading ordinances were then read a first and second time , nnd referred to committee , nnd Councilman Hurnham sub mitted the following resolutions : That the committee on public buildings nnd property , the mayor concurring , bo and they are hereby authorized nnd empowered and directed to take immediate steps to pro cure by advertisement or otherwise compe tition plans for a city hall building to bo erected on lots 5 and 0 , block 110 , Omaha , to be constructed of stone , brick nnd iron , to bo as nearly fireproof t > s possible , and to cost when completed not to exceed WSO.OJO.

Jt would bo well to leave the amount as it was $230,000 , and nt any time it could bo increased if the council saw fit , Councilman Leo explained that the com munication ho submitted was only for the purpose of aiding the committee to which the mallei was rcfcrreu. Councilman Kaspar thought the 300,000 might as well bo inserted In Ilurnham'ti resolution now , and on a vote being taken It was done , The resolution as amended was then adopt ed , and together with the communication of Councilman Lee , referred to the committee on public works nnd buildings with instruc tion to report ut the earliest possible time. Councilman Lowroy then moved that the president of the council bo empowered to add four members of the council Including the president , to the committee m order to aid In bringing ( ho matter to a speedy Issue. Councllmon Counsman , Leo and Uurnhnm objected on the grounds that It would bo a slight to the members of that committee , nnd also that a large committee would bo more of a hindrance than an aid to the speedy com pletion of the work iu hand. The motion was withdrawn. The committee rose and reported , aud one or two grading ordinances were read a first and second time. A communication from the inspector ol plumbing- , relative to tbe leak In the water main on South Tenth street , was referred to the committed , and the street commissioner and sidewalk 'In specter Instructed to make certain repairs.

" 1 would like to say there is one other thing that would cause Omaha to forgo ahead more rapidly than anything else , and that is better railroad advantages. We have been building n railroad on paper from Omaha to tlio northwest for thu last five years. We have also SOPH on paper u gor geous new union depot , und through lines of railroad from Chicago running directly into out city , but , thus far , not a single eastern line runs directly Into Omaha ! Think of It ! Seven great lines of railroad rniininu di rectly to the Missouri river , within throe miles of Omaha , and only one of them com ing into the city. "Instead of expending several hundred thousand dollars per year for grading and paving , I would call a halt in this direction and be in favor of the county offering a bonus of two or three hundred thousand dollars to the first responsible company that will comply with certain conditions and build u now line of railroad from Omaha running to the northwest through the eastern tier of counties to the Dakota line , and locate the headquarters of the roads and shops at tills city. Also offer a bonus to the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Rock Island , or some other eastern lines , to build a good railroad bridge across the Mis souri river ut this point , and build a Union depot , and use the bridge and depot jointly with other eastern lines into Omaha. Four or five hundred thousand dollars expended in this way would be paid back in additional tuxes in n few years , while the benefits de rived would DO simply enormous and make Omatm a city of at least 250,000 people with in tno next five years. There is nothing that stimulates und aids a town more than good railroad facilities and manufactories. Ono helps bring the other , and if the people of Omaha will only join together in concerted action we can have both. " IMPOKTANX CHANGES.

TellotH For General Frclclit Agent. A rumor pervades the turbulent atmos- phcro surrounding the Union Pacific head quarters to the effect that Vice President Holcomb is after the official scalp of General Freight Agent J , A. Monroe. The rumor Is followed up with the announcement that his successor has already been centered upon in J , S. Tobbots , who has just been appointed his fiist usslstaut. It is stated that the the ory outlined is to have Tobbnts thoroughly acquaint himself with the freight traffic , and when this is accomplished Monroe will bo requested to step down and out. Jt Is well Known that Tobbots Is a thorough freight traffic manipulator , and also that ho is backed up by the power behind the throne InHostou , and in view of this , the foregoing change is anticipated. It is also intimated that Mr. Monroe Is well situated financially , and that ho is prepared to stop out into the cold world ut any timo. _ _ _ _ Patent Car Mover. Joseph R.

O. fSpecial Telegram to TUB HIM : , i There is considerable stir among the merchants of the Hnytlon trade over the arrival of the Clyde steamship O/anm , which n Hnytlcn gun bent was ex pected to send to the bottom If found in llny- tlen waters. Hut tlio Ozama hnd not only been In Ilnvtien waters , but she remained two davs nt Capo Hnytlcn and took n full cargo of coffee. She hnd on board General Segundo Imbcrt , vice president of the repub lic of San Domingo. General Imbcrt did not leave San Domingo of his own accord. Gen eral Hcnriux , president of the republic , mildly suggested that his presence was not desired and placed $2,000 at his disposal , re questing him to make Immediate arrange ments for his departure , The vice president , so the story goes , took tlio hint and secured passage on the Ozama when slio touched nt Monte Cristo. When the steamer left Gen- ITU ! Hcnriux went on board n Dominican gunboat lying in the harbor and accompanied the O/umu some distance out to sea. The Ilnyticn gunboat is said to hnvo been watch ing the Ozauin , but she made no hostile move ment. The Ozama continued her way to Cape Hayticn , where she arrived January 30. The American steel cruiser Atlanta , which had ariived that morning , was lying a IT Port Picolct aud the Clyde steamer entered the port with colors Hying. Major Colwel , commander of the Oamn , said : "There was not the slightest pretense of a blockade and no Huytica gunboats were in sight. The Atlanta , on rounding to off the port , fired n salute of twenty-one guns and the fort , responded with her thirty-two pounder. General Hippolyte , 1 was told , went on board the Atlanta and was received with the same honors tendered Lcgltimo on his visit , to Rear Admiral Luce on board the Galena at Port-au-Prince. " A dispatch was received nt Cape Hayticn from St. Marc January 31 which announced that a body of Legitlnie's troops , under Gen eral Belize , attempted to laud from three gunboats nt that place. The Invaders were repulsed by the soldiers under General Montploint. Later reports , still unconfirmed at thu time of thu O/ama sailing , were that 700 of Lcgitimo's troops landing at Saline had been captured by Montpoint's men. This probably relates to the battle reported on Wednesday last. Ono of the Ozanm's passengers from Turk's Island said General Alexis Nerd has suc ceeded in reaching Capo Hnticn and had assumed command of Hippolyte's forces. Geucral Nerd wont from Fortune Island in n schooner which touched nt Turk's Island and then proceeded to Monte Cristo , where Xord landed and lound his way to the Cape.

So far as con dition goes , Billy Mycr is ready to fight to-day , and lias been at any time for a week. Ho is now n half pound underweight , and keeps working day by day at such a rate as to maintain his condition. His trainer , Mr. Lees , re ports him as being an excellent subject to train. Instead of being stimulated to work bo lias rather to bo restrained. IIo seems to like his work and to bo safer for it. When Mr. Lccs first took charge of Myer ho had rather overworked him self in his zeal and become stale. But now , under systematic tutelage , be has arrived at the pink of condition nnd is ready to light at bis best. His daily programme is as follows : IIo gets up in the morning at 0 o'clock , takes a glass of egg nnd sherry , works the one-pound dumb-bells for twenty minutes takes a mile and a half walk , gets a rubdown - down , and has his breakfast at about S o'clock. After breakfast ho rests an hour , then runs or walks ton miles in the open country , accompanied by bis trainer , comes buck and punches the ball for an hour ; then gets rubbed down , takes a good bath and lias his dinner. IIo then rests until iiiKO , HOIIIC- timcs taking a nap. lie woncs the dumb bells nnd pounds tlio ball for an hour and a half , gets a thorough rub bing down , and then cats supper. Ills work continues after supper , when bo walks thrco and a half miles , with nn occasional sprint for a pipe opener , nnd goes to bed about ! ) o'clock. Ho is al lowed to cat almost anything in the way of solid , substantial food that buits bis palate , but all fat is carefully es chewed. Billy is not troubled with in somnia. On the contrary , as bis trainer expresses it , "ho bleeps like a top. " whether napping in the afternoon or in bed for the night. Billy says that training for a light is the hardest work ho ever did in his life , though ho has put in many a hard day's" work at the carpenter's bench. Nevertheless ho goes at it with a vim.

THE PAULY VAULT BILL ROW. County Commissioners Allow tlio Claim Allot * ft Wrangle , O'Kccfo Alone Pi-otcHtliiK und Voting ingKaliiNt It. A Iilvcly Meet In u. Yesterday afternoon's meeting of tlio board of county commissioner * ! was ono of the liveliest held for many moons. It was n fight that prew out of the contract heretofore mentioned between the board and the 1'iiuly Iron company , of St , Louis. Souio time ago the board decided to have the vault In the clerk's oftlco of the district court filled with nhclvcs , und spaces for books nnd papers. The co n- tract for doing the work was awarded to the Pauly Iron company. When the work was completed four members of the board , Mes srs. Men nt , Andeison , Turner nnd t'orrigan , held n special meeting In the aliseiu-o of C oininiiisioncr O'Kecfo , wlio was , It Is said , was duped Into staying nwnyuiid allowed L C. Wundt , agent fur the company , $1,500 m excess - cess of the contract price , which * , \ai J.'t.-OO. The "extra , " It is claimed , was for the build ing of a smiill balcony , not Included in thu contract. There is n question now as to whether the board had any authority to tack nearly $ lfCO extra to the bill of the l'uul.com - I'auy ' , O'Kciifu contends that If the gallery had been made under the original contract , to bo paid for extra , the sum expended is more than double what It should have been. Mount claims directly to the contrary. Ho sa.ys the Job Is cheap enough. Anyway Hundt Is mild to have been so much gratllled that lifter getting thu money ho "blow himself" quito recklessly for the benellt of several of the lioys. Some of them , It Is alleged , were complimented with overcoats , others had suits of clothes thrust upon them and all hands euio.\cd Urn revelry of high life for three or four days. A feature of the affair that has aud is caus ing much talk refers to County Treasurer Holln's action in cashing the warrant of $5,1 a.1..1 ; , " * immediately upon its presentation to him by Wundt. Mr. Uolln has been serving his conititn- auce lately in the third homo at Lincoln , but returned homo Friday evening - ing , and was found nt his dc.sk .yesterday. Ho at first wan so loth to talk that some very vigorous pumping lirul to bo indulged In. "It Is understood , Mr. Uolln , that you cashed the warrant of $5.120.25 for L. C. Wundt immediately upon its presentation to you ! " "Yes , I did. What of it I" "People are talking seriously and wanting to know why you did so , when so many war rants have been cifdorsed , by you , then shaved at the hanks because there was no nonoy hero to pay. How was it that .you inppened to have enough to pay this ono < " "At the time it was presented Iho personal property taxes were coming iu iUite ] lively nnd the general fund was Hush. " "Have any warrants been cashed since that onoi" "Yes , I have paid out about J.'iO.OOO. " The reporter was informed yesterday that Wundt had been nt work with his persuasive powers , in the shape of a largo wad of boodle , on O'Kcofe , with a view to hushing him up nnd letting the row blow over. It is said ho offered the stubborn Kichard W50 , as hh 5 par cent div.v ol the $5,000 warrant. Also fl,500 if ho would agree to support un enlargement of the county jail and assist the Pauly company in getting the contract for doing the work. How the matter was brought before the commissioners yesterday was on the reading1 ol the general ( appropriation bill , which amounted to f9,107.10. The nppropriatlon included the Puuley o\ccss bill. Uoforo It was put to n vote Air. O'lCeoffe made n pro test. test."That "That company has been allowed $1,500 too much money , " said ho. " 1 will make a mo tion that the appropriation bo not allowed. ] don't know whether I will get a second to it or not , and I don't care a " "No swearing goes , Mr. O'Kcoffo , " was the reproof from Chairman Mount , "Well , it's all riglit , " replied Mr. O'Keeffc , "but 1 don't care a " "Just to get the motion before the board I will second It , " said Mr. Turner. "I move that the appropriation be put on its second mid third reading and passed , " said Mr. Anderson. "I want to file my protest on allowing that bill , " replied Air. O'Kooffo , and ho produced a little document which read as follows : "I hereby protest against the action of this board in allowing to the Pnuloy Iron com pany 11,500 extra , being that portion of the bill which Is supposed to coyer extra ex penses for erecting n balcony in the ofllco of the clerk of the district court vault , my rea son being that account is excessive and cou- trary to contract. The protest was read and the question of nllowing the extra was put to a voto. When Mr. O'Keeffo voted ho said the records would show that the committee on court housn and jails , to which the matter had been referred , had made recommendation * ! that the contract price bo $105 a pile. This was acted upon and had the allowance for the work not been excessive Mr. O'Kocffu would not have made any objections. Again did ho swear. Ho was wrathy , and again did the chairman call him down , As Mr. Anderson was the father of the ap propriation sheet , Mr. O'Kecfo did not like to sco him act as ho had done. If u bill was to bo stolen through that was a good way to pay It , before fore any appropriation had been made for it. Ho rofened also to the curbstone work of the committee , und Mr. Anderson's face turned crimson red. The question was finally put to a vote , which resulted In the allowance of the bill und the passage of the appropriation , the only "nny" bolng that of O'Kcoffo. While the nthern were voling in the afilnn- atlvo Mr. O'KcclTo stated that hu hoped th'ilr bondsmen would have to pay for the allowance of the bill. Mr , Anderson in speaking of Mr.O'Keoffo's absence as had been stated , said that hu was present nt the meeting when the bill was allowed. This also made Mr. O'Keoffo very angry , "I was not here , " ho retorted , "and I don't want you to nay that I wan. You thought you had mo down to the Paxton bar in n drunken condition , but you got left. That should not have been allowed. Why , Wundt didn't expect but fl.OOO , and didn't want any more. Hero you fullers have given him $1,500 in excess. " Poor demented Hilly Morun had to suffer for lots of things In the deal that thu com mittee could not account for , "You all know that ho Is crazy , nnd was insane then , " would ba the plea. There is likely that something rich will develop in the matter before It is finally settled , though the bill has been allowed. There was also n wrangle on the passage of another appropriation bill for grading and the liko. The amount of the appropriation was tl230.40. ! In it was the fifth grading estimate cf 0 , A. Jensen for work on the hospital grounds , The amount of the esti mate was | 5I0.5'J. The objection made for the allowance. of this claim was that the bill had not passed through the proper channel , Mr. O'Kceffc wanted a committee to examine It and make recommendations upon It. Not- wlthhtandfng this , thu appropriation was imsscd , Mr , O'Keeffo's vote bolng the only illsscntlng one. . Some minor bills were presented ntul re- fen cd , nml the commissioners adjourned till Wednesday nfteinoon , A AVr U e8 For ConlH , Harry Olaml , a young lad with a broken lose , first struck Omaha about six weeks ifo , nnd was arrested as n suspicious charac- cr. Ho told a straightforward story and iroduccd letters of reference from a Denver lergyman and was allowed to go.
