s MMiri.NG HIS POWERS.
Authority of Mr. .Iniiios Affected by
the New Kill PH.
The now rules and regulations recently
adopted by the board of education bavo been
received from the printer.
A number of minor changes have boon
made , us also a few of considerable im
portance.
The number of standing committees has
been Increased from ten to fourteen. The
now committees are ns follows : Special in
struction , salaries , boundaries and discipline.
Tbo committees on high school and manual
training have boon consolidated , and tbo
committee on teachers and text books has
been divided into a committee on teachers
and examination , and ono ou text books and
courno of study.
The old ri'lcs laid down no instructions
whatever as to the duties of the various
committee ? , and there was nothing to guido
any of them except the committee ou claims ,
the duties of which are opccltied by law.
Under tno now rules thodutlc * of committees
are mndo un important feature , the jirovlnco
of ouch being carefully outlined.
The duties and powers ot the superintend
ent of schools nro curtailed under the new or
der of things. Formerly that oflldul had tbo
power ol transferring pupils from ono school
building to another and prescribing tlio limit
of territory for each school. This duty now
devolves upon tlm committee on boundaries.
The assignment of teachers Is now made by
tbo committee on teachers nnd the superin
tendent.
The committee on text books nnd course of
study now bus charge of the examination
of pupils for. promotion , and the fixing of tlm
averages necessary to bo attained. Formerly
this power was vested in the superintendent ,
who was allowed to exerclso his judgment in
this respect. _

Tlio Had Condition of n WolMCnown
IJook-Kfepcr.
The ilrst evidence that something had gonp
wrong with \V , 1J. Alexander , J. K. niley'a
book-koopcr , whoso dumcntla was referred
to Tuesday , was discovered on Monday last.
Ho went about talking very confidentially to
tome of his acquaintances , tolling them of a
deal which would inubo him very wealthy.
H appears that Alexander Is Interested with
Gordon , Potter and others In an old govern
ment boat which they purchased some time
ago and have boon using here to bring buildIng -
Ing sand down the river. As the story goas ,
they wore doitlnod to lese a lot of money ,
because the contractors refused to buy the
sand and the matter worried Alexander u
great deal.
Tuesday , however , bis disposition
changed u ( treat deal. Ho was unusually
lively in oplrits. and explained his conduct us
being duo to the fact that he had disposed
of tue boat to St. Louis parties for an excel
lent price , ana would reailro us his portion of
the proceeds about fO.OOO. Later , ho said tea
, a friend , " 1 have made arrangements with
Dawey & Stouo to endorse my pauor for
f 100.000 , and If you need it I will give you
all the money jxw want. "
During the day various other strange
atoriei coming from him were
beard , Ho went to S. P. Morse
and ordered II , OU ) worth of silk underwear
for himself and family , made contracts with
furniture dealers , clothing merchants , boot
and shoo men ! hired twenty-tiro men to go
out and ruuiodel his house , made arrange
ments with a builder to orocl a six-story
tower on one corner ot the residence , and
various other out'uudlsh ' tallies of tbo sumo
character ,
Tuesday night ho remained do wu town until
ft Into hour telling everybody of his Immense
wealth nnd what grand thlncn ho proposed to
do. During the nleht ho called on Van Colt
and wanted to buy 2,000 worth of diamonds ,
nnd VIM much offended when the latter fald
bo could cot open his safe at that time nnd
get. them.
Yesterday morning he appeared on the street
again , acting the same as before , whereupon
Will Hamilton took him td n hotel nnd called
Dr. Lclscnrlng In , who administered opiates
nnd BOOH got him under control. The doctor
thinks that his nflllctlon in temporary and
that with careful trontmont ho will bo
nil right again in a few ( lavs.
The young man's condition w as moron farm
ing yesterday than at any time and the advisa
bility of turning him over to Dr. Tllden ,
chairman of the county board of Insane com
missioners , Is being seriously dlscusicd. His
wife , who was visiting friends at Minne

Trials nnrt Tribulations of the Lost
Ton , AcrpB.
The ton acre , tract belonging to Douclas
county"dlscovered" by Auditor Evans Tues
day , 1ms n history , According to the abstracts
nnd records its geology , which extends back
to 1857 , When Gcorgn W. Scott was tlio
owner , is very dintctilt to trace. H shows
rmnarttibla carelessness on the part of n
great many people. The property was first
cut trom an clghty-ncro strip , which has boon
conveyed at least a dozen limes to as many
different parties. It sold twice lit sheriff's
sale , nnd now belongs to Gibson. With each
transfer of the eighty , this ton-acre lot ,
deeded In 18 ! > 'J to the county by Henry 7. ,
Chapman , has been Included ; though when
the H. it M. railroad company wanted n
right-of-way through the hi ml , It was smart
enough to 11 ml out to whom it. belonged and
secure a title to three of the ten acres from
the county.
September St. 1857 , George W. Scott sold
his Interests to William Scott and James W.
Pickard. The latter subsequently released
his claim to Scott , who bold the whole of tlm
land to Ellas Brock , and ou September 25
the property foil Into the possession of John
D. Scott. Ho In turn , and on November IS
of that year , made a transfer of the land to
James D. Taggart. August 5 , 1S53 , Tuggart
sold out 10 .T. L. Wheeler , and , while ho still
retained the ownership , it was knocked down
by the sheriff to Martin & Bros. , to satisfy
a Judgment , against him. .
Thereafter the property was purchased
successively by J. D. Kellogg , Mary M.
Burger , James A. Tnggnrt , King & Wood ,
and , llnally , Chapman. Since tlio county co
caine possessed of the small strips , It has
boon Included with every sale and transfer
of the nighty acre tract made , thousrh nt no
time has the county title been disputed or
injured.
The question , however , may bo raised
eventually , because there nro five hundred
mortgages on the property and their holders
may want a whack at tlm estate. It is prob
ably the most valuable part of the whole
tract. The man who purchased from Gibson
will bo the ono most likely to come out
loser. _

Ualconiuo Independent of Instruction
on Coder Hloeks.
Mr. F.W.Grny told a reporter of the causes
that led to the presentation at the council'
meeting Tuesday night of the communica
tion from J. A. Nnuglo & Co. complaining of
Major Bulcombo's methods of inspecting
cedar block pavement. "Tho trouble , " said
Mr. Gray , "Is that Mr. Bnlcombo is so
strongly prejudiced against wooden pave
ments of any kind that ho is not competent
to treat us fairly. lie has threatened in
open meetings of the board to make the rules
of inspection of our work so rigid that it
would bo unprofitable for us to do business.
Ho has hindered us in every wav possible.
When wo were at work on Harney street ho
had the work stopped because colored blocks
were being used. The board met and
a resolution was adopted instructing the
inspectors not to reject blocks on
account of their color. lialcombo refused
to give this instruction to the inspectors ,
and the pavers were kept idle for more than ,
a week on account of his ignoring the action
ot a majority of the board. After ICiorstend
and Furuy hud agreed that tlm colored blocks
wore all right , Balcombo put a construction
upon the resolution adopted that still further
delayed the work. His stubbornness caused
us a loss of at least $2f > 00 on Harnoy street
alone.Wo nro furnishing a better quality of
blocks than Is used in any city in the coun
try , and are willing to admit of any reason
able inspection , but wo can not do business
under his method of overriding the board
and venting his personal objections at our
expense. Wo will have a flue showing to
make to the committee ot the council ap
pointed to investigate the matter. "

T. O. imUNKIt'B CANDIDACY.
What lie Has to Say About the Col-
iRutorfthlp I'liini.
T. C. Drutior , speaking about his candi
dacy for collector of the port , said that ho
had made an application for the place , not
knowing that J. N. Phillips had already an
ticipated him. There was no rivalry , ho
said , between them , except that which was
friendly and honorable. Hud ho known that
Mr. Phillips was a candidate ho would not
bavo sought the place. His backing con
sisted of loading dealers and Jobbers and
nearly all the bankers In the city , and a host
ot influential republicans throughout the
state. From nearly all of these bo had also
received letters of encouragement.
Some time ago , ho understood that Senator
Manderson had cither directly or indirectly
notified Mr. Phillips that ho could not favor
his application. A man more Identified with
the business of the city was what was ao-
ulred.
It was learned to-day tnat the place was
also promlsnd to John Poland , father-in-law
of John M. 'Jhurston , and that Mandorson's
decision to give the place to Alexander has
caubcd a breeze in tlmt direction also , Tbo
end is not yet , as reports go.

Owen McKcc , a dude of about twenty-five
years , enjoying n salary of f30 a month nnd
the confidence of George E. Barker , presi
dent of tbo 13nnk of Commerce ,
has been making a bad record
for himself since coming to Omaha.
Ho halls from Davenport and wns Introduced
to Mr. HnrKcr by Mr. Gale , who recom
mended him as a "good but spoiled boy. " Ho
prides himself upon his power of fascinating
the weaker sex and only a few weeks ago
came very near being shot by an irate hus
band who supposed that Mclvco was exorcis
ing his mngnotlclnfluoncoovor his wife.
McICoo bus itlso boon a deep drinker nnd
bis steady potations caused his discharge a
number of weeks ngo. Since then It has
transpired that ho has made collections to
the amount of ( .200 on lota In
Orchard Hill belonging to Mr. Barker nnd
the money has never bcenturncdln. Ho has
presented bogus checks nt saloons nnd other
places whore bo owed bills ou an Imaginary
account Ho had with the Hank of Commerce.
Ono of those were presented In Owen Mc
Caffrey , n saloon keeper ut Sixteenth and
Dodgu , who accepted It in good faith. Mc
Caffrey says ho will have MoICcc arrested.
Mr. Darker has scared Mcltco Into a set

Clmniit ) In Tlirotich llnta Mnlcmjj.
J. O. Phlllippl , of the Missouri Pacific , has
returned from Atclilson , where bo attended
n meeting of the state board of transporta
tion ot Kansas to take testimony in n case in
which the merchants of Atcnison preferred
charges of discrimination against the Mis-
soury Pacific und the Snntn Fe.
An attorney who represented the mer
chants stated that the roads discriminated ns
regards their through and local rates ; that
tbo sum of tlm through rale was less than the
local r.ito on tlm same commodity , and in
making the same haul. Ho requested that
tbo local rate bo made the sumo nnd to
remedy the existing evil the railroads should
make the through rate tbo sum of the two
locals , with Missouri river ns a basing.
In answering , Trafllo Manager Leeds , of
the Missouri Pacific , stated that the through
rate applied to inter-stuto trafllc , and that it
had no connection with tlm local rate within
the state ; nnd that , also , as it related to
inter-state shipments , it was beyond the
Jurisdiction of the state board. "
In this the board concurred , but the at
torney who represented the merchants
thought differently , nnd was elvon time to
prepare u brief bearing on the case nnd em
bodying the "existing" laws on that point.
The commission will then announce the re
sult.
Nowtnnn Tcndi'rod tno Position.
There is much speculation going on rela
tive to changes on the Santa Fo owing to
President Mnnvol being u new man on that
road. An individual high'un in railroad cir
cles who is familiar with the dilution states
that , while several changes will in nil proba
bility bo made , A. A. Koblnsoiu tlm general
manager , will remain in bis present position.
Ho also stated that W. H. Newman , late
third vice president of the Missouri Pacific ,
had been tendered the position of trafllo
manager of the Santa Fo vice \ \ hlte , the in
cumbent. Mr. Newman , bo said , had not as
yet made a reply , but has announced that ho
intends to return to railroading at an early
date.

The structure , however , is not finished. It
will bo plastered , furnished and supplied
with necessary conveniences , which will
require about $12,000 , more. Mr. Fogolstrom
will not commence the interior work until ho
shall have secured money ouough to finish it.
Ho is collecting every day and sometimes

Complaints are continually coming to the
surface that snow up the peculiar methods
employed by Marshal CarUcr in his manage
ment of the police affairs of the city. The
latest is to the effect that on last Friday
evening a man by the name of Joseph Brad
ley was arrested nnd jailed for drunkenness.
After ho had sobered up a little the marshal
concluded that bo know something concern
ing a gang of thieves that are suuposcd to bo
working the town , and ho was asked to
cough up. Ho refused , saying that , ho knew
nothing about the thieves. But Carder con
cluded that ho did know and determined to
make him talk. Calling some of tlio patrol
men to him ho ordered the hose turned upon
the prisoner , and ho was soaked thor
oughly. Ho stood the dronchjng ns
long as ho could , and when
chilled through ho crouched down in a cor
ner of the cell und pulled bis coat collar up
over his head to protect himself. At the
instance of the marshal two policemen wont
in , caught him by the shoulder , wheeled him
around and fired the stream into his face.
This was continued for some time. Council
man Fr-as , however , came along nnd or-
derca the barbarous treatment to stop. At
this time Bradley was nearly exhausted and
it is said his moans were piteous. It ap
pears that this is not the only case of In
quisition ju actices I.Uut llo against Carder
and that others will bo brought to light.
