OMAHA DAILY BEEi. TTHSSDAY. MAY 14 ; 1889 ; 1 ! n Q [ 3D ODD DUO Dundee Place is a place to be proud of. Too far out to be a common resort ; but strangers will have to be taken to see it ; and citizens who do not live" there will feel a certain property in it a city of homes with not an unsightly object. There is land enough to make a city of homes six-hundred I * acres about alike , and managed alike. The part now ready is two-hundred acres. Wlien this is sold , four-hundred lying beyond it will follow. The smallest lot to be sold is 100x135 feet ; no house to be less than 25 feet from the street ; no house to cost less than $2,500 , exclusive of outbuildings or other improvements ; no stores or business of any sort , except one street expressly designed for neignborhood business ; no nuisances ; nothing but dwellings and their appurte nances and churches for fifteen years to come. These restrictions , acting : with the natural advantages of the place , make it altogether the most desirable part of the city ior residence. Then there is nothing in the way. If a paradise of homes can be created , here is the chance without hindrance. Let us consider what those advantages are : * > , As everyone ) knows , the first ground to be built on making a river town is along the water. Convenience is v all that is thought of then. But when the town is established , and prosperous citizens begin to look for pleasanter - anter homes , they go to the hills. - * Ouiaha began of course at the river ; extended northward first , along the nearly level ground , a little slowly up the western slope to the rolling prairie. The southward growth is , not to speak of preoccupation by railroads , controlled by two facts ; the stock yards and packing houses at South Omaha. Another fact a little surprising to strangers , the Missouri river is not an agreeable near neighbor , not even to look at. > > The result is : the hills directly west are the pleasaiitest part of the city to live in , both because of the bet ter site and because the building is newer. The first ridge is in the thick of the city ; the second is on the edge of it , and unfortunately the building there is a medley ; the third is Dundee Place , the first unoccupied ridge , the first one available for this paradise of homes ; and this is well begun. For long years to come the south-wind will come fresh from the prairie to this third ridge , and the pros pect there will be half-rural. Price of ground , $25.OO per front foot. Wa will show the property at any time. The Patrick Iland Company , * SOLE OWNERS QF DUNDEE PLACE , 110 Koom 25 GliamlDer of ( ClJ W. H. CRAIGPresident. . N. D. ALLEN , Vice-President. W.

FermiHHlon Granted to the Council to Use the Rooms AdvortlslnR the A Merchants' As- soclatloo. An Important Meeting. Tbo attendance lit the monthly mooting of "i the board of trade last night was much greater than It has been at any previous ses sion this year. A largo number ol business men , whoso faces have not boon scon at the meetings for many weeks , were present and took an active part In the session. President Martin presided , and the first order of business was reports.1' The secre tary , In his report , stated that ho had col lected for rents durintr the month of April the sum of $1,010.00 ; for May , to the present date , he hod collected $1,433.10 , and there was silll due for rents the amount of $318.70. The current month's expenses ware reported to bo $330.57. O. F. Miller , of the Richardson Drug com pany , and G. F. Labagb , of the Omaha. Coal , Coke and Llmo. company , were admitted to membership in the board. Prosiaent Martin reviewed the trip re cently made by the board to the Block Hills , and believed that the visit bad accomplished much for the commercial interests of the city. In speaking of the excursion , Secretary Naaon stated that a corporation contemplated building a railroad to the Black Hills , and that It was thought it would purchase sup plies in Chicago ; but slnoo the trip had been made it had "boon decided to purehaso its ma terials In Omaha. Uoorge Barker offered a resolution to allow the city council to moot in the board of trade rooms , s the council's present quar ters were unfit for any legislative body to assombln in. The movement was favored by Max Meyer. Ho thought it would bo a source of good revenue. The question was strenuously opposed by James Stophcnsou. Said ho : "Such a nasty and disgraceful outfit of men should not bo allowed to meet in this room. I hope the resolution will not bo con sidered. " Hugh Q. Clark also objected , claiming that tbo board wasablo to take care of itself , mid that if the council were permitted to hold Its sessions In the chamber , the ball would soon bo disfigured. After further debate it was decided to rent the hall to tbo council. The question of the proposed now union depot and bridge was brought up by George Barker , who thought the committee on the matter should not bo given any more time. Ho was of the opinion that the commlttoo should go to work Immediately to secure the union depot , and that It should bo owned by uu Omaha company , Ho bolloved that Jef ferson square would bo a desirable location for the depot , and that the bridge should bo built for the accommodation of Iowa roadi. W. A. L. Gibbon stated that the commlt too on the depot and bridge wa * doing all It could , and asked that the board and citizens liavo a little patience. Goorga Barker said that railroads wcro being built all around Ouiaha , and that something should imme diately bo dotio to made this city u great railroad water , by pushing the oroctlou of the union dopotfcud tbo proposed bride. Mr. Hosowator was of the opinion that the railroad commlttoo could not expedite matters In the building of the depot , but would have , to bo given time to investigate the situation thoroughly. . C. O. Lobeck introduced a resolution which caused considerable discussion. At author ized the president of the board to appoint a committee of thrco to act In conjunction with himself and the secretary to corres pond with Iho different boards of trade of th cities of Nebraska , and also with the man- agumout of the various railways of the state , to dovlto * omo plan or practical m < hod to odvortUo the resources and ndvantaKOs of Nebraska throughout the eastern states. the resolution was adopted , and President Martin will appoint the committee to-day. W. A. L. Gibbon offered the following resolution elution , which was adopted : Resolved , That a committee of nine bo ap pointed , of which the president shall bo chairman and secretary a member , the busi ness of which shall bo for the organization of a merchants' association , which shall bo known as the "Merchant's Week" of Omaha. The committee will bo appointed by the board to-day. . It is proposed to make the organization permanent , and by such an associa tion it is believed that country merchants and people living in small towns , by being given reduced railroad and hotel rates , will come to the city to make invest ments. "Merchants' Week" will be a sort of a fair week in business circles , and it is thought that great results can bo accom plished. At a mooting of the directors of the board yesterday afternoon It was decided to enter tain the Commercial club of Kansas City , which will bo in Omaha May 23 , on route for St. Paul. The Ancient Order of United Workmen , which will hold its encampment in this city June ISill also bo entertained by the board. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ rtiUMBEUS ON A STRIKE. Journeymen Anticipate the Threat ened Lookout. The bickerings between the master and journeymen plumbers have culminated in n strike of about sovcnty-flvo of the latter. At a meeting hold Saturday night the Master Plumbers' association decided to order a lockout. The Journeymen decided to anticipate this and , at a meeting hold Sunday , determined to walk out Monday morning unless assured'by the bosses that no lockout was contemplated. When the hour for be- Kinnlng work arrived , the men were gathered In bunches in front of tbo various shops and selected a spokesman to lay the matter before the employing plumbers. When the nuostlon was put to them , the bosses demurred some vhat and showed a disposition to talk arbitration , but the jour neymen would have none of it. They were there , they said , to find out whether they were to bo locked-out on Wednesday or not , and all they desired was simply nn answer. There WAS a great deal of talk , but the up shot of it ml Was that the men employed by A. C. Llchtcnbnrger , the Hussov-lay com pany , Rosa & Ualfo , John Howa & Co , j. J. Hann < ? an , Graham Parke , Dennis Fltzpat- rick , Barnacle & Jones , Jnmleson & Co. and Morrison & Heed , walked out without cere mony. Milton Frco had no men at worknnd consequently none struck nt his shop. W. H. Spclman is a member of the musters' as sociation , but assured his man that ho bad no grievance against them , and so the journey men in his shop are still at work. Tno men were gathered In little knots along Douglas street , In the vicinity of their hall , quietly discussing the situation. M. J. Conway - way , president of the union. Is engineering the strike , and seems to have done Ills work thoroughly. Ho says that the men are not off on n drunken spree , and that at no time will anyone bo able to say that any of thorn were drunk during the strike. This trouble Is of long standing , and de tailed accounts of the troubles existingbo - twcon the two organization have been pub lished from time to time in tbo newspapers. It began juct before the meeting of the state association last winter and has con tinued ever slnco. The trouble docs not Ho in a difference in prices , but in the refusal of tlio association to recognize the journeymen's association as such. The journeymen have careful preparations and are so backer ) ns to ho able to stav out any reasonable length of timo. In anticipation of trouble , the union has already asked for and obtained the per mission of the executive committee of the National Journeymen's union to walk out in event such a move should be nccosuary in the opinion of the ofllcers of the local organ ization. This being the case , the expenses of the strike fall upon the national union. The terms upon which the men will return to work are : 1 , That the union bo olUcially recognized by tbo association. 3. That the fines a csscit against Mr. A. Free bo paid. ' ! l. That no further attempt bo made by the association to bring uioro non-union men Into the city. SOUVP of the bosses threatened to put liolpera upon the unfinished work loft by the men who are out , but the oQIcors of the organization say that they can very easily prevent that move , The masters have suggested that ajcotn- mittco of flvo from each orRanization ho chosen as a committee to arbitrate , but the journeymen say that they have nothing to arbitrate. They say that the bosses will have to come to them , and that if they don't come soon they ( the Journeymen ) will ob tain a charter and open a co-operative shop. The executive committee the Master Plumbers' association asserts that the statement - ment made by the journeymen to the effect that Mr. Free misrepresented the situation to the party of eleven men brought nero from the east , recently , is untrue. Mr. Free and the committee claim tnat the true con dition of affairs was fully explained to them. At a meeting held by the journeymen yes terday afternoon , a general strike commit tee , an executive and press committees wcro appointed. Ways were devised for looking after any men who may bo imported to flll the vacancies. Several telegrams from unions in other cities , encouraging the men hcioto persist , were received and road. A vote of thanks was extended toV. . H. Spell- man and Strong & Clark lor refusing to con cur in the action of the masters' asssocia- tlon. The raoii nil agreed to stand firm , and It was decided that If the strike did not tor- inlnato by Friday th.it a charter for a co operative shop be applied for. The bosses hold a stormy meeting , from which reporters were barred. Thov were very reticent as to the result of the confer ence , but it was judged from their icmarks that no dcllnlto conclusion had uccn ar rived at. Bad Crossings. On n number of crossings In this city which liavn been torn up by the Motor and Omaha Street railway lines in building their curves , dangerous places are to bo found. At Fourteenth , Thirteenth and Twelfth streets the tracks are so high above the sur face of the pavement .that it is impossible for water to flow down the gutters lit the crossings from cast to west. As a consequence quence , deep puddles are always to bo found at tboso intersections. At Eleventh and Donelas streets , the tracks are much higher than the pavement and one of the curves Is unfinished , so uiuoh so that it Is almost impossible for buggy to bo driven across It without running the risk of being destroyed. It Is especially danger ous to engines gohtir to fires , and the opinion of the residents Is that the tracks ought to bo cither taken up or the road placed In passable condition. Anderson's ScuniUion. There scorns to bo an Impression about the county clerk's ofllco that Commissioner An- cloison will not push his Investigation of Mr. Hocho's ofUcial conduct much further. The matter has now como to bo an Issue between Anderson and O'Kccffo. After they shall hnvo Indulged in a few tilts the matter , It is thought , will bo allowed to drop out of at tention. Mr. O'lCcofTo wants Anderson to either make written charges against Uocho so that they can enter into u formal investi gation or admit his mistake and dispel the cloud which hovers over Hocho's head by passing a resolution exonerating him.

' THE MAY TERM OF COURTS , Judges Dandy , Graff and Doano Present on the Opening Day. FEDERAL AND DISTRICT JURORS. flic Kit Carter Cattle Case -Xnotlior Injunction Applied For By the Omalia Motor Company , The Courts. The May term of the District court opened with only two of the four judges Uroff und Doanc present. A largo number of lawyers occupied seats within tbo bar , many of the jurors being outside. As the session is virtually a continuation of the long-drawn out term which began early In February , tbo opening was a production of but few features of interest. Experience Estabrook sat at ono of the long tables , and Sam Brown discussed current city affairs with him. A'call of the docket was made , after which the judges gave their attention to special business for a few moments and took a recess until ! ! o'clock. Judge Croft announced that jurors who desired - sired to bo excused and had good grounds on which to base their request could como forward and they would bo hoard. But none of the jurors seemed disposed to bo oxcuscd. The jury , very largely consists of farmer * or village mer chants. Consequently , they failed to arrive before the morning1 session was concluded. The following is the Jury : Wlllo Dlckson , Gcorgo S. Eastman , George Llndo , H. D. Picrronett , David Young , John P.

Hajack , in his petition for a mandamus , beta up that ho was arrested , on March 15 , on the charge of soiling Ifiiuors illegally ; that ho was convicted of , the charge before the police judge , but ( nn appeal to the district court was taken , and that the case is still ponding. Consequently it Is claimed that as the cause Is still to ; bo tried , ho has not been convicted until tbo .higher court so decides , and until that time the mayor and commit- sion have no right ; or authority to revoke bis license. < " ' The Omaha Motor !

The motor also asked for an order enjoining the board of publio works from granting to any of the defendant corporations a permit to enter the streets mentioned. The applica tion for the temporary order was heard by Judge Oroff , who will hear the case next Saturday morning : The motor alleges that slnco the pretended consolidation of the liorao and cable companies , neither bus dona any act or thing to appropriate any part of the streets comprising Its proposed route , mid that neither company has , any right or franchise to go into ttio streets for which it asks the restraining order.

Omaha's Connection With New Towns Through New Trains. Yesterday the now time schedule of the Union Pacific went Into full effect. In response to the publio demand , the company has put on accommodation passenger trains between Omaha , Grand Island , Stronisburg and Beatrice. It is so arranged that a man may leave either of these places at o'clock in the morning and reach Omaha at noon , re turning between 5 and 0 o'clock in the even ing. The excellence of this arrangement consists in giving the merchants in a circle , having a radius of 800 miles , a chance to make quick sales and purchases , which is nn Important factor lu tno prosperity of the state. It also enables everybody who so desires to como to Omaha and take in the * matinees , base ball games , celebrations and all the amusements of a largo city , not forgetting the circus when it is hero. Tbo effect will bo a stimulus to trade , increasing the local freight and passenger earnings of the road , leading up to a steady increase of population from year to year. An Important feature of this train , and ono which is demanded , is to make it permanent , and reliable in Its arrival and departure. A morning train from Al bion to connect with the Norfolk accommo dation on the Elkhorn Valley road , also local trains between Omaha and Falls City on the Missouri Pacific , to secure the fruit and live stock trade of southern Nebraska , Is needed greatly. The first Grand Island train came in yes terday with about ono hundred passengers. In twelve months of 185-7 the old train car ried upwards of 175,000 passengers. The dally leverage will bo larger under- this regime. THE PAST BIA'lU It Will Carry Pnasoimcrs iilke all . . Other Trains Hereafter. The Burlington has extended its fast service vice- and has completed arrangements for the conveyance of passengers on its fast mall train. Formerly this train was com posed of mall and express cars exclusively , Under tbo arrangements , which wont into effect yesterday , the train will contain a slocp- er , smoker and baggage car. It will inako the fast run between Omaha and Chicago , leav ing this city at 0 p. in. , and arrive In Chicago at noon the next day. It was reported that the Burlington had entered Into a contract with the government to the oltoct that Us fast mall should consist only of mnll and express - press cars , but an attache of the general manager's ofllco stated that the contract con tained no such spooitlcatlons. but that it did specify that the train should bo on time ac cording to the schedule. Stock Yardti at Mnonln. P. J. Gregory , of Lincoln , called at Union Pacific headquarters in the interest of the stock yards company , which it is claimed In ubout to bo organized at that city. The ter ritory which the now organization desires to obtain Is owned jointly by the Union Pa cific and Burlington. It is said that the company will open up on an extensive scab ] . It was this fact that prompted the Union Pacific to acquire the right of tunning ( U trains over the David Ctftr branch of the Burlington , thereby savlngw haul of sixty-throo milos. I' , is stated tbftt the stock yards company has been assured that the prominent packers would follow njp the deal and establish packing houses at that point. ExtlngiitahlnK Snarled. Engine 71B on the Union Pacific bas boon cqulppcd-wltu a Barn's ' extension , the almoff which is to extinguish sparks from the locomotive by compelling thorn to pnfia through condensed steam before being dis charged from the stock.
