Mora Hovelling Testimony.
' Last Sunday morning , in connection with
'Its ' expose of tbo misdoings at the i > oor fnrm
and county hospital , TUB Uun published an
'Interview ' with Mrs. Joseph Mqhr In which
she stated that a man named Gardner , an
Idiotic inmate of the hospital , was allowed to
wander out into the cold ono nlgltt during
the winter of 18SO-8T , thinly clad , and that
when found the man was dead frozen to
death.
Did Mnliouoy Fear Investigation ?
Yesterday a reporter wont over the rec
ords of Coroner John Droxbl from the first of
Oetobor , 18SO , to the flrst of. May , 18S7 , but
could find no record of an Inquest upon the
body of this man. Mr. Drexel was asked If
ho had held an inquest upon the remains of
any man at the poor farm who mot ills death
by froezlni ? during the winter of 1330-87. Ho
snlil ho had not.
"It Is the duty of Mr. Mahoney , isn't it ,
Mr. Uroxol , to notify you in the case of the
violent death of nny inmates of the hospital
or almshousol" asked the reporter.
"It is" .
"And you nro certain that during the
winter of 80-7 .you hold np inquest upon
n frozen man at the poor farm.
"I um. "
Mrs. Mohr has expressed her willingness
to swear to the statements she. made.
DoHOcr.itcfi Undies of the Dead.
Charles Ulowo Is the proprietor of an
undertaking establishment at 1000 Farnam
street , and in the way of his business has
had more or less to do with Superintendent ,
John J. Mahoney of the Douglas county hos
pital ana poorfarm.
According to Mr. lilowo , a young Swedish
girl died at St. Joseph's hospital on the 10th
of October , 1337 , and after death , was taken
by the good sisters to Mr. Ulowo's establish
ment to bo properly laid out for burial. She
was without kith or Idu in Omaha , and be
ing without money it devolved upon the
superintendent of the poor , John J. Mahoney ,
to provide n burial casket ana attend to the
interment of the remains.
Mr. Riowo telephoned to Mr. Mahoney that
the body awaited burial , and that on account
of the heat and the fact that the remains had
already boon exposed many hours , that haste
was necessary. Mr. Mahoney telephoned
back that ho would come whoa ho got ready ,
The day was very warm and after waiting
some tlmo , Mr. Hlowo again called up the
superintendent with the request that the re
mains bo taken away for burial. Mr. Ma
honey replied that ho would lot ttio body Ho
in Uiewc's establishment forty-eight hours
longer if the undertaker dldin't stop tele
phoning.
It Was nrutal.
Finally Mahoney came with his hired man ,
his wagon and a rickety collln.
Mnbonoy seized the dead girl roughly by
the foot wnilo the hired man grabbed the In-
nmitmto form by the shoulders , and then the
two burly brutes tossed the body roughly into
the cvftln face downward.
The poor body came into harsh contact
With the rough deal boards , and after the
poflln had been nailed up , blood was seen
poziug from the cracks.
Mr. Uicwo cited another case of cruelty to
the dead for which Mahoney , through his
hired man wns responsible. A young pauper
foreigner lay dead at his establishment ,
awaiting burial. Mahoney was notified that
p. six foot coflln would bo necessary , but when
the man came for the body ho brought a cas
ket only .five foot six inches in length. The
fact that the coftln was too short for the
body , made no difference to the ghoul to
Whoso tender mercies Mahoney had loft the
remains. Ho throw the body into the coflln
pnd although the bent knee * protruded above
} .bo upper edge , ho made the boay fit the
cofiln by forcing the Ha down and fastening
K with tonpcnny nails. As ho did so the
brushing of bones was heard.

There has coma to light the clcaperato at *

ceeded for a time in Keeping him out. Ho
finally managed to force the door open and
attempted to overpower the plrl to accom-
nllsh her ruin. She screamed for help , but
it seems her cries wore unheard save by her
assailant. A desperate struggle ensued and
for half an hour the girt successfully resisted
lus efforts , \yhen she made her escape and

QUARANTINING PESTIIENCE ,
The Boo Again Shows Up the Filthy
Alloys of Omaha.
THEY MAY NOW BE PURIFIED
Mayor Broatoh Bays Ho Will Have tlio

Ford and Ilascall.
Obstructionists.
A Municipal Disgrace.
The alloys of the city of Omaha are In a
deplorably filthy condition at present and , so
far as can bo ascertained , there Is no pro
vision being made for cleaning them. In
sonio parts of the city , they nro really in a
horrible state , rcoklnq In the offal of stables
and pig-pens , the refuse from kitchens and
other sources innumerable. Garbage and
ash piles , old oyster cans , dead cats , hoop-
skirts , brick-bats , slop barrels and other
offensive wastes block up the way and fill
the nlr for squares around with
noxious and disease-breeding odors.
Citizens nro complnlnjng on ovary
hand , and yet , no ono can sco a remedy ,
as there is no olty ordinance governing the
matter. Only once In the history of Omiiha
have the alloys been cleaned by contract.
That was three or four years ago , and was
only done- then at a cost of $300 in a consider
able district. Slnco then they huvo been
but mcagcrly attended to , ( > y police- notifica
tion , and at the present tlino many of them
are little bettor than sluiceways or surface
sowers.
St. A. D. Balcombo , chairman of the board
of public works , remarked to a reporter that
there never has been any arrangement for
cleaning the alleys. They have never boon
swept or nny contracts let for
this purpose. The policy of sending
the sanitary policeman rounds of Inspec
tion has alone been pursued. Those police ,
When in their estimation the case demands
It , notify the property holders to clean up
their abutting alleys or suffer a consequent
penalty in thu police court.
"Does not this police supervision over
alleys extend only to the removal of nuis
ances 1" queried the reporter.
"I suppose that Is fact , " said Mr. Ba >
combe , "but my understanding is that they
treat every thing found us a nuisance. "
"Has tholr service been satisfactory I "
"Not by any means , as the present condi
tion of our alloys clearly attest. "
"Is it a fact , Mr. Balcombe , that there Is
no municipal law regulating- this matter ! "
"Not that I know of. The board of public
works has only boon ordered by the cltv
council to lot contracts for sweeping and
cleaning the streets. This ordinance was
passed some five or six years njro , "
"Just what Is the clause touching this mat-
tori"
"That I nm unable to glvo you , from the
simple fact tlio city officials are perfectly Ig
norant , of our municipal laws. There Is not
n copy of that ordinance , or any other that I
know of in the city building. The
compilation of " the ordinances bus
boon choked off for some mys
terious reason , and If wo desire to know
anything about any particular ordinance wo
must go up to thu city clerk's ojUco rummage
over a prodigious pile of musty documents
until wo find it. .Tnis sometimes takes hours.
And what are wo to do ! "
"Give up. "
"Well that's Just what we'll have to do. "
Another city otllcial presout was very em
phatic in asserting that the alloys , especially
those paved , should , bo swept and cleaned
like tlio sheets ; that policemen were negli
gent , incnlolont and guilty of favoritism ; that
they removed only local nuslances , and consequently
quently could not keep the alloys inn decent
condition. Ho said further that the alloys wcro
In a horrible ctato at present and that their
overhauling and cleaning was absolutely ne
cessary to avert the pestilence. Under the
warm sun and soft southern breezes the refuse -
fuse blockading many of them was fast be
coming a hideous mass of putrefaction
and the atmosphere In many parts
of the city Js already redolent of
the virulent gases and inimical odors which
are tlio consequence of such a condition of
things.
Mayor Broatch said that the alloys were
not paved like the streets , and were consequently
quently not swept like them. Ho said
tie was aware that the complaints
were loud und numerous and that
the board of health intenod to
take immediate action upon this head. Mr.
Broatch ulso said that the board consisted of
himself , the president of the council , Mr.
Lee ; chairman of the committee on police ,
Mr. Boya , the cliiof of the police and City
Physician Ralph.
"Tlio boara is to meet this afternoon , "
continued the mayor , "when this natter will
bo exhaustively discussed , and ways and
means devised for the immediate renovation
of nil the alleys in the city. "
"Why is it. Mr. Mayor.'i ' asked the re
porter , "that tno publication of the compiled
ordinances , ordered months ago , is not out ! "
Well , sir , " said ho and hi eyes sparkled
Indignantly , "suchobstructionists as Hascall
and Pat Ford are responsible for thin. They
have opposed every bill looking toward this
end , notwithstanding their knowledge of the
fact that the work has boon ordered , that the
ordinances are already in type and ready to
go to press. It is aa outrage and tuo citizens
should bring tholr Influence to bear upon
these fellows who seek to block nil meritor
ious work , "
"What are the special duties of the city

wont on.
"Attention to the police nna fire- depart
ment , .the city jail and the poor and Indl-
gnnt. Ah , ho Is kept pretty busy , 1 tell you ,
and Is out most of tno time. "
"Then ho earns the $ J,400 ho draws annu

"Yes. Indeed , ho does. "
"And you are sure that the alloy question

about tbo live stock Inspection bill now before -

that it would if passed utterly ruin the pack

CAMP-FIRE OF JOLLY VETERANS.
There Wcro No Weary Sentinels on
the Ontpostn and No Rush-
.whacker Prowled About
For n Shot ,
A Great Bivouac.
Clark's hall on Fourteenth between Dqug-
las nnd Dodge streets never witnessed n
more enlivening scone than that which was
presented there Tuesday night. it
was a revel of mirth , music ,
patriotism , hard tack nnd elo
quence. The revelers were ox-soldiers nnd
the occasion wns n camp-flro gotten up by U.
S. Grant post , No. 10 , G. A. U.
There were 800 rotamors'prcsont. Some
were the regulation uniform of the order ,
some appeared in civilians clothes , but the
breasts of all were bcdcoked with the simple
and symbolic badge of the Grand Army of
the Hopubllo. There wcro few among those
present who hud not passed tholr fortieth
year and some were venerable with ago and
hoary hairs. Amidst the throng wcro also
noted several members of the George A.
Crook post , Sons of Veterans.
In many places the walls were hung with
the national colors. On ( ho north sldo stood
an army tent , while in the middle was nn ad
mirable representation of ncnnip fire. A gas-
grate of iron , fashioned like n bundle of logs
with perforations , blazed with the fickle
ness of n pile subjected to the wayward
breezes. The gas was supported by a pipe
which had boon extended especially for the
occasion from the supply pipe near the entrance -
trance to the hall. Over the flames hung a
steaming Iron kettle which wns suspended
from a gypsy-Ulto arch composed of
thrco poles which met nnd wore fast
ened near the top , On either side
wore stacks of arms from the bayonet df
each piece of which hung canteens ami am
munition boxes which had evidently expe
rienced the vicissitudes of war.
Around these reminders of a glorious nnd
mcinot able struggle for homo and freedom
ranged the veterans. Nearly everybody
smoked. Very few rccraled themselves with
cigars , whllo Missouri mcorchnutns , other
wise cob pipes , wore readily patronized by
the human JKtnas. Ucnso clouds of- Dur
ham nmoko filled the tipper regions , but un
mindful of it the veterans talluul , lauchcd ,
joked , recounted exploits , renewed old mid
formed new acquaintances. It was not the
smokeof battle but the smoke of pence , a
dear but honorable pence , in securing which
thnra was not a breast which did not heave
with exultation iu considering the part its
owner had played In securing it.
Major ( Jlarkson ucted as chairman , Paul
Hersh acted as musical director extraor
dinary , leading in ull the grand old choruses
which have been so Identified with martial
life. Dr. Stone , ono of the managing com
mittee , in fact the originator of the undnr-
taking , hustled like an usher in a crowded
auditorium. Simeon Bloom , another com-
mlttecnian , with easy dignity held down a
chair of state upon the platform , whllo Com
rade Pimncioo made himself as useful as n
committceman is expected to .nake himself
under such circumstances.
Comrade Goodspecd , of Now York , a gen
tleman with florid features and snowy hair ,
made n forcible speech , commending the
achievements of the federal torces , the order
of the Grand Army of the Republic , nud
closing with the assertion that ho was proud
to bo a member of it , as also of the fact that
ho had aided In the suppression of the rebel
lion.
lion.Comrade
Comrade Burmcstor then placed a chuclc-
a-luck ciii-J upon thu carpet und , simultaneously
ously , half n dozen veterans squatted like
tailors , and the rattle of the dico-box thence
followed till the close of the entertainment.
Other groups disposed themselves around
the fire and played cards , while otlfers still
sat , smoked and looked reflectively into the
curling flames , as if reminded of those they
had ottcn studied In tholr bivouacks on the
Held. .
Comrade Burmester read from the Na
tional Republican an account of the enlist
ment In the Grand Army of Senator Kan-
dall , which was received with cheers. Ho
read also a "shot" by a contributor showing
that the effect of tbo attack upon Governor
Fifor , of Illinois , by his opponent , ex-Gov
ernor Palmer , In so far aj Its effect upon the
Grand Army was concerned was llkoned to
the Hole loft , in a bucket of water when ono
withdraws his finger from the tub.
Comrade Allo made an entertaining it
lengthy speech , which was Interspersed with
anecdotes , martial quotations and u defense
of the federal soldier against thu attack of
General Uos , who said that ono southern
soldier wns equal to two blue-belly Yankees.
Ho said that man to man , eye to eye , nnd
arm to arm , the federal was more than equal
to any rebel on any field during the rebellion.
Ho illustrated this by nn episode lu which he
had taken part , where 200 Yankees chased
for two miles n rei'iment of confederates.
Churlcs Burmester wanted to know if they
over caught up with them , and the sally
evoked hearty laughter and applause.
"Marching Through Georgia" was then
sung with n will , after which Comrade
Genlsch. chief of the pension bureau at
Washington , spoke for a few moments.
A mom. otner things he said that at this tlmo ,
so many years after the war , when it was
difficult to secure evidence , there was no
doubt but moro lonlbney in the matter of
pensioning soldiers should bo exercised.
There wns no doubt that thousands of sol
diers wcro denied pensions to which they
were entitled , That they were entitled to
them had In various votes been determined
by the people , nnd further in cases where
proof was reasonable the doubt should bo
turned in favor of the soldier.
Chaplain Richardson , a brother of Colonel
Richardson , of the 112th of Now York , made
a short speech , and then , the only real liva
general in the gatherlna was called to the
front. Ho re-ocnoed Comrade Allo's senti
ments m reply to Uossa and said that
ho had lived in South Carolina
for fifteen years after the war
und know Kossu's sentiments prevailed
there then as they prevail oven at the pres
ent tlmo. Ho then read a poem on the wood
pecker which brought down the house.
Frank Mores , as the original "Holo in the
Bottom of thu Sea"- was Introduced , sang a
stanza of that effort nnd then read Tom
Sharp's letter to Commissioner Blncic on the
subject of pensions. Ono who has hoarder
road the piece will readily understand why
the veterans howled ,
Beans , pickles , bread , butter , coffco and
hard tack wcro served and disposed of In a
manner which suggested u regular old cam
paign feast.
The blaze of the camp fire nnd the hilarity
of the veterans continued until midnight.
Bad Bookkeeping.
It only lacked a few minutes of 10 o'clock
last night when Judge Bcrka summoned up
the evidence- the case of Alva B. Cook ,
chanrcd * with ambozzllng $1)00 ! of Missouri
Paciflo monov. It all wont to show that tlio
books wore rather loosely kept prior to Cook's
term of ofllco , and that officials of the road
wore somewhat inclined to make short date
loans from the ofllco money , but as Cook
was in charge of the books for two years ,
the court held that ho should not have sent
in statements showing "cash on hand" unless
the cash or an equivalent "I , O. U. " was in
the drawer. Ho accordingly bound the
prisoner to the district court in a 1 1,600 bond.
which was at once furnished , Cook still
maintains that if there was any stealing
done , it was during the regime of his prede
cessor , Brlggs , and is confident that a jury
will say so.

T''o cable people expect to make several
important extensions of tholr various lines
this season , as well as to clmngo some of the
liorso car tracks , but , according to Mr.
Johnson , who w.is questioned by a BEG man
last night , there Is no prospect now of any
attempt bclnR made to occupy Sherman av
enue. Said ho : "What wo do in the way
of bulldnif will bo'douo on the lines to the
south nnd west. To build on Shorutan av
enue would require the erection of another
power house , nnd thai we are not ready for
Just yet. " Tlio first extension will bo that

Lon Bill has n great many stories to toll
of his recent trip through old Mexico by
mule. Speaking last evening about the ex
pense nf living in that country ho said beef
is dirt clioup , but hog meat comes high. You

bacon ranges Ironi 03 to 75 cents a pound ,
and is ccarcu at that.
Bishop Newman , who returned yesterday
from an extended trip through the east and

that Omaha's future greatness is ono of the
certainties.

Councilman Wheeler hub explained to a
reporter that his objection to the extension
of the street sweeping contract was based
upon the fact that it was not being compiled
with , and that the city.us a consequencewas
compelled to pay money which might otherwise -
wise be saved. It has been the custom in
the early apt ing and fall wlion the broom ma
chines could not bo used for thu removal of
the muu upoa the streets to have them
scraped and shoveled , and the expense of
this is generally greater than that of swoop
ing , In this way &omu very heavy bills have
been footed by the city , Councilman Wheeler
holds that this work must ye done hereafter
under the street swooping contract , and Is
backed up by an examination of the contract
by other couucilmeu.
