LINCOLN. May 29.
W , J. Cooper hns commenced quo wnrranto
proceedings In the supreme court to enquire
by what authority W. S. Hamilton assumes
to hold the position of councilman from the
Fourth ward in this city. The case Is entitled -
titled the State ox rol W. J. Cooper vs VV. S.
Hamilton. The petition recites tbe election
ot R. B. Qralmm to bo councilman from the
Fourth ward nt the general election In 1838 ,
his subsequent resignation In April , 1839 , nnd
the rolator's nomination nnd election follow
ing. It recites further thnt a subsequent
party canvass was hold to nominate candi
dates , It having boon generally conceded thnt
thorelator's election was invalid bocauio
Graham's election had not been accepted at
the time. At this caucus W. J.
Cooper received the nomination , but nt
the special election following , W. S.
Hamilton received a majority of the
votes cast , secured a certificate of his elec
tion , nnd now occupies a scat In tbo council.
Cooper , the victor , bates his case on the
claim that Graham's resignation created nn
immediate vacancy without Us acceptance
by the council ; that his election to that of
fice at the general election entitled him to
the scat occupied by Hamilton , nnd that nil
subsequent proceedings were invalid. Tlio
case will bavo a hearing at the earliest pos-
Bible date. It Is quietly talked on the streets ,
to-day , that the case , however It may bo do-
cldca. will not pare the rolntor the smirch
ing Hamilton has In store for him. Matters
are so in hand now that there can bo no
whitewashing lu tbo investigation. The
testimony of Burns and McMurtry nlono , It
is said , precludes any nuch possibility.
It will Do remembered thnt dlstlnctclmrgcs
had boon made against Councilmen Dean nnd
Pace , and yet the mayor , in selecting the
committee of investigation , named them as
members of it. It will thus be seen that
'these gentlemen sit as court and Jury to pass
sentence upon their own guilt or Innocence.
it Is said , therefore , that thcro must be a
majority and minority rccort in the flndlncs ,
and it will bo well for the situation to be kept
in mind.
In conversation with u member of the com
mittco , last night , TUB lice representative
learned thnt the "smirching testimony" has
Just commenced. The charges against Cooper
and Meyer-will bo taken up In turn.
More ol'McClcllan's llaqcality.
H. T. McNott , the South Eleventh street
upholster , adds his mite to the evidence of
McClollan's rascality. Ho says that just
prlcr to tha confinement of his wife , ho
skipped to Norfolk and remained there sev
eral months. During his absence , the prac
tically deserted wife passed through the
trying ordeal , la the care of neighbors , some
of whom were almost strangers , and that
she was really loft in a destitute condition.
Tills , in consideration of the fact that Me-
Clollan Is an expert workman , and qultn
well-to-do , further demonstrates his heart
lessncsn.
MnClcllan bos elegantly furnished rooms
in the Mnyca block , at tbo corner of Four
teenth and S streets , and Painter McWil
Hams says he told him not long since that
lie had two tnoro girls on his string ,
und invited him thcro to meet
them. McWilllnuis politely told him ,
however , that ho was not that kind ot
a man. This morning TUB BEE representative
tivo was informed that four families who
live la the block at tbo corner of Fourteenth
and S streets proposed to vacate their rooms
because of his evident liasons.
The latest from Mrs. McClollan Is to this
effect : "I guess I am not his wifo. I thought
iTvaa , but I am afraid it was a mock-marrl-
ugo. " Her description of the minister who
performed the ceremony tallies exactly with
that of Elder Johnson , now .pastor of the
Walnut Hill Christian church , Omaha , and
also with the records , as taken from the
county court , yesterday , and published by
THE BEE.
Township anil Equalization Hoards.
Letters of inquiry reach the attorney-gen
eral every day regarding the changes in the
law relating to the regular meetings of the
board of supervisors under township orgnni- '
zatlon and as a board of equalization. As
the law has been changed iu several respects.
General Loeso's answer to the inquiries of
Ross P. Anderson , of Seward , under date of
May 20 , regarding the matter , will bo of
general Interest to tbo public. It la as folio ws :
Aiy Dour Sir : Your letter relating to
meetings 01 town board of supervisors is at
hand. In answer I will say that I can not
discover any change in the time of meeting
of the town board. The tlmo of meeting
of the board of supervisors , regular meet
ings , Is the first Tuesday after the first
Monday In July of each year. ,
The time of meeting of the board of equal
ization has not been cnangcd , but I find that
thu annual school district meetings have
chanced twice ; first , by house roll 2.27 to tlio
first Monday in June ; and second , by house
roll 25 ? to not later than tbo last Monday in
June of each year. The board of equalization
must levy the school district tax which ,
. under the now law , must bo certified up to
the county board on or before the llrst Mon
day in July. Then , again , the city council
meets with the county board and constitutes
the board of equalization for cities of the
Booond class. Thcso are aooutoll the changes
that I can find. It will bo noticed , that should
the district school oQlcors fail to certify up
the school tax the board of equalization
would bo requested to include the first Mon
day In July as ono of their twenty days sit-
ting. This Is all that I can make out of tbo
muddled condition of the present law ,
Thnt Coaa Pool.
The citizens residing iu the vicinity of the
Homo of the Friendless , at tno foot of South
I'.leventh street , are up in arms concerning
the ces.i pool that IB maintained by that In
stitution. They claim that the waste mutter
that Is thrown into this pool seeps through
the ground pores nnd contaminates the water
In tholr walls ; that thU impure water is JIu-
blo to bring ou diphtheria and other disease * .
They have petitioned tbo city council for re
lief ; the matter bun been referred to the
board of public lands and buildings ; the
water In tlio surrounding wulli has been an
alyzed and found to ba allgbtly tainted , but
not seriously. Still thc'peoplo are not satis-
Hod , and the health officer satd to-day thnt a
man who would go down into that part of
the city and uphold thu continuation of this
nuisance would need a shotgun. Tha health
offleor and Secretary Laws had a consulta.
tlon to-day , and the secretary Instructed him
to havn tha pool cleaned out , and then the
board would cement the basin. The offal
could be placed therein temporarily and
carted off. Thn proper course would bo to
make u connection with tbo city sewer sys
tem , but as thin would coat $ lX,0 ( , and as
tlioro la no appropriation , this to impossible.

The Iron Hall In Secret and at the
Smelting Works.
The Iron Hall delegates assembled behind
closed doors yesterday making and revising
laws for the government of the order. The ofll
ccrs elected Tuesday will be Installed to
day , and the work will be directed to
miscellaneous subjects. It is expected that
some matters of interest to the public will
be treated and that th'j outer hall barricade
will be removed.
Resolutions of sympathy worn passed by a
rising vote oa the , death of Mr.s. Dana R.
Hovey , wife of ono of the representatives ,
who was called back to his homo while en
route to Omaha.
Resolutions of various kinds suggesting
changes in tha laws as they now exist were
referred to the committee on laws.
Considerable discussion arose over a con
templated change in the law relating to the
investment of the reserve fund by subordi ,
nato branches. The law , as it now exists-
permits the branches to invest in first-class
mortgages on real estate to the extent of
two-thirds the appraised value of the prop
erty. A change li contemplated permitting
investments to the extent of one-half the
market value.
This question is a change of great import
ance to the order , Involving the host meth
ods of placing about $000OUO to the best ad
vantage , as to security and accumulation ,
The matter will be further considered at tbo
afternoon session.
The visitors express themselves as well
pleased with their reception in Omaha and
say they will endeavor to organize a branch
in this city. That this will not be difficult ,
it is asserted , the numerous inquiries into
tbo workings of the Iron Hall , made of the
delegates at their hotel by citizens of Omaha
indicate.
At the close of the morning session the
delegates , fifty-fivo in number , marched to
the smelting wonts under the leadership ot
Fire Marshal Galilean. The mayor had in
tended to bo present , but unexpected busi
ness compelled him to send a substitute.
It was the first ttmo that many of the
members of the order bad visited a smelting
works and the novelty and extent of the
works created profound astonishment and
admiration.
A nugget of gola valued at $7,000 was
passed from hand to hand and returned to
the owners.
Returning to their hotel the party
shown the alertness of Omaha's fire depart
ment by Chlof Galligan at the Tenth street
fire station. Notwithstanding tbo fact that
a now team was used in the test very credit-
atiio time was made.
The association spent a greater portion of
yesterday afternoon's session in a discussion
of the investment of the reserve fund. It
has been the practice to invest the reserve
fund in real estate mortgages to two-thirds
the appraised value of tbo property. It was
decided at the session yesterday afternoon
that hereafter the reserve fund bo invested
In real estate mortgages to the extent of one-
half of the market value of the property. A
numbor'of laws referring to sick claims were
referred for further discussion at to-mor
row's session.
The legislation of this session is not ex
pected to develop any radical changes and
its.main object Is to mnko more secure tbo
f anus on hand und bar the unjust claims
which mny bo advanced by brandies , Thcro
hi another Interesting problem to bn solved
by the. alltlug , nnd that IA tha propriety of
according to tbo women's branches repre
sentation 0:1 r. footing with male bran chos.

Mnntcr * and Journeymen
The master and joumcymon plumbers mot
at the Puxton yesterday and attempted
to fix upon a basis upon which the existing
strlko might bo settled ,
The Journeymen presented the following :
Ilesolved , That the journeymen's union
hereby ugrco -return to work in ull shops
upon the ncccptauco of those resolu
tions , and In consideration of employing none
but union help.
Kciolvcd , That the Master Plumbers' iv -
soclntlon agrees to recognize the Journey-
men's union nnd ablao by the rules nnd reso
lution * heretofore existing between the two
organizations.
Resolved. That the sot of resolutions ,
dated May US , 18S9 , by the master plumbers
ho rescinded nnd that a code of rules bo
adopted by tioth organizations on the sumo
status as in effect January 1 , 1880.
Kesolved , That no discrimination shall bo
inndo towards any members of either
journeymen , jobber or helpers' unions when
reinstated , nnd bo it further
Ilosolvcd , That thosa articles of RRrcouicnt
shall bo binding on each organization for ono
year from Juno 1 , 18S9.
President Hussoy , of the masters' associ
ation , asked if this wns the journeymen's
ultimatum. Vice President Clancy , of the
union , replied that it was. The masters re
tired for n few moments and when they re
turned Mr. Hussoy , upon their behalf , said
that the line of action proposed by the jour
neymen would take them back into a condi
tion of affairs they were trying to
gut out of , and for that reason the
masters could not accept the pro
posed condition ard would have to insist
upon the enforcement of the resolutions
adopted by them yesterday. They received
a telegram from their agent In the east to
day and ho will start for Omaha Immediately
with a sunicient number of men to tatco the
places of the strikers.
Plasterers lloturn to Work.
The oxecuMvo committee ot the Plasterers'
union hold a meeting late yesterday after
noon , subsequent to thu plumbers' confer
ence , and after considerable discussion it
was decided to order the striking members of
the union back to work upon THE BEE build
ing. The men were personally and officially
notified of the action , and , so far as could bo
learned , but ono or two demurred.
A member of the union was scon and asked
ivhat led the union to take this action , hut
: iu said that the men had been ordered to
keep silent , and refused to answer any ques-
lons.
Charley Burns , ono of the contracting
plasterers in THE BEE building , has been
iast for some time looking far man to tuko
.ho place of the strikers , and telegraphed to
his partner hero yesterday morning that ho
"mil a squad , of men ready , to come , but
: ho partner , in answer , wired him to wait
until after the confercnco of the plumbers.
Fifteen striking plasterers will resume work
at THE BEE building this morning.
A man whose interests arc clearly identified
with the plasterers' said last nlgat that in
iis opinion the union that is , the plasterers'
had discovered that they could gain noth
ing for themselves or the plumbers by re
maining out , and that , as it now appears as
.hough . the strike of the latter would con-
inuo indefinitely , they finally decided that
heir most expedient course would be to ro-
; urn to work.
In speaking of the action of the plasterers
last night , member of the plumbers' union
said :
"This does not mean a weakening on the
part of the plumbers. Wo don't stand much
of a show of compromising with the master
plumbers and are going to try a now scheme
on them. Wo will have the plasterers go
ihcad with their work and then the
.nustor plumbers will have no excuse for
not completing plumbing contracts which
they have on hand. We'll see how they get
along then. "
Said a master plumber : " 'Wo havo'done oil
wo can toward a compromise. The journey
men made twelve demands of us , and wo
conceded ten of them. Wo can get all of
the plumbers we want from Now York to
laico the place of the strikers , and wo will
have a farce of thorn hero before another
weolr. "

EDWARDS FOUND
Only Klelit Minutes Kcqulrctl by tbo
Court to Koaoh a Verdict.
Walter Edwards , the colored man who has
boon on trial the lost three days on the
charge of assaulting his wife with intent to
kill , was found guilty yesterday afternoon.
It only required the jury eight minutes to ar
rive at the verdict. The penalty in the case
provides for a term of Imprisonment not to

afraid that ho would draw the capital

lu February , 18s9 , the Omaha Gas Manu
facturing company began u suit against the
city of Omaha for $ lfiSt3.29 ! , an amount
claimed to bo duo the company for gas and
work performed for the city In putting in
gas lamps , ate. The petition sot forth that
from September , 1833 , to * August , 1881 , the
city paid all the bills of the company , as re
quired by contract , but from August , 1884 ,
to January. 1888 , the city refused to payfor
tbo gas and the work done , although from
January , 1SSS , all bills wore paid.
On behalf of the city , John L. Wabstar
filed an answer to tbo suit , setting forth
four reasons why the amount claimed
should not bo paid. In the lirat
place , it Is claimed the Omana Gas
Manufacturing company sold out Its business
to the United Gas Improvement company ,
an eastern corporation that began the manu
facture of water gas. This was done with
out a notification to tlio city. It was a DOW
corporation , and when it took hold of the
gas works thu previous contract bccamo null
and void. In the second place , the United
Gus Improvement company changed its
naino to the Omaha Gas Manufacturing com
pany , so that the original contract with the
company might bo maintained. The third
objection is that the gas furnished by the
company was not worth tha money charged ,
as evidenced by the city council in reducing
the price. In the fourth place , the company ,
according to contract , ngrood to keep the
lumps cluan and to use a class of burners
that furnish light equal to flftoon-candle
power. On the other hand , the answer al-
Icgns that the lumps have not boon kept
clean , nor bavo the proper kind of burners
been used.

Rest , warrior , rest ,
'Neath tbo scattered flowers ,
O'er thy calm breast
Pass the fleeting hours.
Thy native land
Honors true devotion ,
And with free hand
Seals thy high promotion.
Marches and wars *
Now forever over ,
Thy noble scars
Blooming sod shall cover ;
Hardships are dene ,
Gone is nil thy sorrow ,
Bivouao begun
In the eternal morrow.
Where free thoughts blend
Floats the starry banner
Thou didst defend
In such gallant manner ;
Where once wore strife
And the hates that sever ,
Union and life
Snail abide forever.
Sleep on thino arms ,
Ready for thy waking
When glad alarms
Earth and sky are shaking ;
Heaven's reveille '
Shall remove earth's sadness ;
The grave's delay
Brings eternal gladness.
Soldiers , well done I
Peaceful bo your slumbers-
Each setting sun
Addeth to your numbers.
But the coming years.
Shall increase thonk'sgiving
For your dying tears.
For your val'rous living.

The merchant gave one quick , low
whistle and the fog horn accompnnio-

still slumbered. "What are fou daingV"
then asked the man of' business , as ho
aroused his siitollito with a shako.

Mrs. Cleveland Is not forgotten by the

pendent of the Now Yorlc Tribune.
Her three years' reign impressed itself
upon them , and they still measure
boautv , amiability and poworby the ox-
presiuont's wifo. The colored children
are especially her admirers. Two of
them , little , black , unkempt creatures
were coming down Fourteenth street
the other day , and the youngest accused
the other of pride.
"Youso proud , you know you IB. "
The other humbly replied :
"If I had had hair so long that I could
sit on it , and was as beautiful as Mrs.
Cleveland , I would speak to you. "
