The contract did not suit , lr. Unseal 1. Ho wanted the contract for the Iron work Rlvqn to an Omaha llrm , and went into ono of his iong-wimlud harangues lu support of his latest scheme. Mr. ICuspur supported Mr. Hascall's Bchemc. llii said 1'nxton < fc Vicrlltig's bid Was only ? 5OOU , moro thun Unit of ail eastern llrm and lie felt sure that tno tux payers of the clt/ would bo willing to pay the difference between the bids for the Bake of laving the work performed by Oainha labor end in nn Omaha manufactory. Mr. Whoolcr said the additional cost of c'ving ' the work to un Omalui bidder would bo nearly $ lJOOJ ! , und he didn't bulicvu In opening the gutoa.to any uueli uxpondlturo. The ultTtirenco was simply a prolli for the llrm furnishing the m.itcrlal. Mi. Kiispar got xvitn'n then. "Whcclor is nlways worictng against Omaha , " he said.

"You were not,1' said ICaspar. "I was blacking bouts In Omaha und Hurrahing for the town when von was down ut Piaus- mouth working nguiast us. " Further cxctiango uf lompliments between the distinguished gentlemen w.is prevented by the ctuir. After aoiiio further talk Mr. VicrUng nnd Mr. COOIH were called upon for statement * . Mr , Vlorling stated that Ids firm's original bid for the iron work was t5U.OUO tut that they had afterwards cut It tofolt.UOO nnd would still anherc to that olTor. Mr. Coot's said ho had obligated himself to Ilaugh , Ketchum St Co. , of Indianapolis , xvhoso bid waa S-lr > , OUU. and that , while ho would gladly favor the homo tlrm , ho could not uccopt its bid , oven if thu citv pulu the different- ! ) unless Ilauyh , Kotchnm & Co. were willing. Still Mr. iluscall was not satisfied. Ho wanted to know why the committee had nut Incorporated In tno contract the ac tion of the council providing for the appoint ment nnd removal of the superintendent of construction. It took about ua hour for Mr. Hnseall to get it into his head that the speci fications under which the contract was made provided the method for appointing such su perintendent. The action of thu council was finally reconsidered , Huscall and Kuspar voting no , nnd the clause left na in thospecr * ficutions ; viz. : Thnt thesupcrlntondcntshall be appointed by the council und architect nn < ? be subject to removal b.v the council. . , V Mill Mr. Hnseall was not aiitisllcd.

Has- cull nnd Ku par voting in the iininu'itivo. Still Mr. Hascall wns not satisfied. Ho wanted to know what had become of the council's resolution that none but union laborers be employe j on the building. The council , aflor u lengtny discussion of the matter , decided that inasmuch us tneso resolutions wcro not incorporated in ttic bids for work , they could not bo incorporated in the contract. Every member of the body expressed his position as favoring union labor , but admitted that it could not bo re- Quiri'd o ! the contractor in this case under the circumstances , iliu motion to recon sider the union labor resolutions was adopted , Uoyd , Huscall , ICaspar und O'Con nor voting in the negative. This left all the differences settled. Still Mr. Huscall was not atsllod. ! Un the motion 10 adopt the contract Has call and Kaspar voted in tlio negative. Mr. Coots exprctyed a willingness to sign thri contract then and there If the city officials would sign it Mayor Broatch , who ; > hud been present , wont home Just before the adoption of the report , and as his signature jould not ho secured , the council adjourned until this d-oning , when the contract will bo presented for final adoption.

The special tram on the Union Pftclflu bearing tlio California cominiindery to the conclave nt Washington , ai rived from the west yesterday afternoon. It consisted of seven Pullman car * , ono day coach nnd two baugimo cnra. Although this train was sched uled through from the const at the remarka ble speed ot forty-two miles per hour , it ar rived nt the designated points nlong.tho line on time , with thu exception of at Grand Is land , where , after n wild ride it steamed in just tli reo minutes' lute. The run trom Cheyenne to Gr.inil Island , n distance ! of yiV-S miles , was made in a tritlo over eight hours. This is tlio best tlmo ever m.ido over any road , for along ruu with a loaded ten-couch train. There were 240 passengers on board. The Uurllngton special that will convoy the NcbniflKn commanerics ! through to Wash ington loft hero Thursday afternoon ono hour and "Ighteon minutes late , but reported nlUurlttigtonycstcrUnv morning' tlmo. Mho distance was covered at the ruto of about forty-five miles per hour. .Tlio TIcltntH tin Sale. To-day the Missouri Pacific und the Wabash - bash will place tickets on sale to St. Louis at ono fare for the round trip from Omaha. The action of these two lines liuvo created considerable of n stir , for the reason that they havu Ignored the territorial line estab lished by the Western States Passenger as sociation. When the roads in question lirst broke from the agreement it was reported that the whole affair would end In a bluff , and thnt the rate would not bo applied to Omaha. Hepresent-Uivcs of both linns wora seen last ulgnt , nnd staled positively that the tickets would bo placed on sale this morning. _ Clitli Itooin Wlilsporn. President Dodge , of the Port Worth road , is reported to have said that the matter of leasing his road by the Union Pacific ; will como up at a meeting of tbo directorate of the latter road to bo held in Boston October 10. Also that by acquiring this the Union Pacillu would be enabled to upply the differ ential on business an far cast as tlio Missouri river that is now allowed the Fort Worth road. Ho is also reported to bavo said that , while the laws of Texas required a resident management in connection with alt lines operating in the state , a strong trafllc ar rangement might bo made or n lease of the adjunct ef the Fort Worth effected. The Clioronno IVrocIc. In the wreck on the Union Pacific Thurs day near Choycnne , which is reported in TUB BUG'S telegrams , Conductor nincker re ceived a badly crushed limb , the porter's skull was fractured , and four passengers were slightly injured , Thu wrecking train was scut from this city to clear up thu track. Conductor Uii.cker is well known here , having , prior to his departure for the west , run a passenger train on tbo main lino. Ho was taken to the hospital at Chcyenno and his injuries will necessitate the amputation of his right lownr limb. The injuries re ceived by the porter may result fatally. Fivu cars were Uerailoi and more or loss smashed up. _ "How Do , Snmivcl ? " Samuel B. Jones , formerly assistant gen eral passenger agent of the Union Pacific road , was iu town a few hours yesterday. Ho came from Chicago to moot the excursion partyof Knights Templar gomgoast ; over the Northwestern line , with which ho is now connected , arid escort them to tnat city. Mr. Jones is looking well , and during his short stay took advantacroof the time to see and shake hands with ns many of 'his old Omaha friends as possible. Kullronil Note . General G. M. Dodge , president of the Fort Worth , is in Omaha. He will remain hero about ono week , after which ho and Vice President Hnlcomb , of the Union Pa cific , wilt leave for Boston to attend a meet ing of the board of directors of the latter road. Superintendent Johnson , of the Oregon Railway & Navigation system is in the city , accompanied by his family. Passenger Cimino ? S17 and 803 have been dispatched to Laramie for service on that division of the Union I'aclllc. Samuel Rhnada , superintendent of the stone department of the Urtiou Puclllf , has returned to headquarters at Denver. C. li. Hanna , traveling passenger agentof the Union Pacific , with headquarters at San Francisco , is in Omaha. Ho accomuanlul the Golden Gate commauUcry from the coast to this point. Until this season Keene confined him sol I almost exclusively to Shakospoaro's trage dies , but- believing that the field at largo offurcd opportunities for a still greater test of his powers , ho branched out somewhat and took into his repertoire "Louis XI , " n play that very few uctors care to undertake , though it Is nno of the moat dramatic as well as strongly constructed tragedies that has over been given to the slacc. Ho put it on ut Hoyd's opura house last night , and being thu ilfbt tlmo that It has been con iu Omaha for suveral ycari , a largo audience attended to witness its production. Closer attontiou to , deeper interest in , or higher appreciation of the performance , has riot been manifested ut any event of thu kind , with tlio possible 'exception of one or two occasions when Bool It appeared ns Hamlet. Mr. Keene held the uudiur.cu in close sympathy and magnetic touch from beginning to end. His Hueech and actions gave forth marvelous Imita tions of the realistic , und so completely WAS his identity burled In the character that nnvoiui either acquainted with the man per sonally or who has over soon him as Ulchard , rould hanlly bellovo the story of such com plete oimngo. Hut the work of last night only adds additional proof to what has ul- ready been stated us to his \ronderlul ver satility and thoroughly nrtlutio UU- unt. However , thu honors of the ovonine were not all berne by Mr. Keeno. The audionca felt disposed to bestow a goodlv portion upon George Loarock , who assumed and sustained tha Uuku do Nemours in u very masterful manner. Mr. Loarock is n largo , handsome , graceful , clover uml of- foctlvo uctor. At the end of the fourth act , In the scene wherein he lias the old monarch at hla mercy , ho aroused the audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm and received a double curtain call. The balaaco of the company , especially MUs Shannon , played their parti very well. Tliroo binall Fires , The tire department was called out tw.'co last night to answer culls at box 3. Tbo first was at 1418 South ! gbtaauth street , and was In the bakery of Jonn Leah. Wb.Uo on the way the chemical was stopped at John Tracy's to quonuh a small bluzo.

It has bccli called to nominate n candidate for sheriff , county treasurer , registrar of deedi , county clerk , county judce , superintendent ot pub lic instruction , county surveyor , n county commiss'oner ' for the second district , a county commissioner for the fourth district , nnd two justices of the peace for each of the tnreo justice districts in this slty , which are constituted as follows : First First , Second and Seventh wards. Second Third , Fifth and Eighth wards. Third Fourth. Sixth and iNirth wards. After the regular county ofUcers shall have bcon nominated , the delegates to the convention from the wards of each district will meet and nominate their candidates for justices. _ The German Central Club. It seems that this German-American Bur- gcrvcroin will turn out on masse the next election day to the ballot box. Delegates of the several ward clubs are endeavoring to convince the German voters of the advant ages they will have by voting only for- the candidates which the central club will recom mend to their support. It is hard to say at present whether Snyder or Heirarod will bo the man , though the latter is apparently the favorite. Some of the leading Gorman poli ticians expressed tbo opinion that should both men bo nominated ono will be induced to withdraw in favor of. tha other to strengthen tbo Gorman clement. New Jerome Pontzel has declared himself a candidate for justice in the second district. John F. II. Lohtnanti , a Fourth ward democrat , has entered the race for county commissioner.

Onoot the ( Uiostlons which tins arisen out of the contest for corcMor , or rather the en- ; ranco to the fleht of d physician , la m to whether n medical gentleman or nn undor- Ulcer U the moro seiviccablo party for the ofllcc. nit , The following arc thc lows on tlio subject of Rrntlonicn tn Iwth.pajllnifR : Dr. Merriam I thlnlc a physician has nn advantage In the offiiM'on account of his | > rofcsMonnl trnln'ntr.iilltmvo no proforcnco especially. Dr. Carter- , would mnko a good coroner. Dr. V. IF. CofTinmi A physician could do- tcrmlno whether thnro were reasons for liolding an Inquest or n post tnortom more readily than a mrth not n member of the pro fession. Dr. Carter would suit me. Dr. Uobert Tno position really belongs to the Mnedicnl profession. There nro many cnsos In which n physlclon ns coroner could nvoid the necessity of nn inquest. Dr. Cnr- tor Is n candidate for the place nnd , while ho is not of my politics , ho would innko a good mnn. mnn.Dr. . Swotnnm An honest mnn Is nil that Is necessary for the plnco. A physician might have some advantages , though I don't ' think ol any just now. Dr. lUlph I think n physician would bo preferable. The work'is in his lino. Dr. H. F. Crummer thought that the ofllco should bo held by n physician. Ho road an extract or two of modlcnl jurisprudence to the effect that inquiries regarding the iden tity of n deceased person , us also the cause of death of an Individual on whom nn In quest is to bo hold , necessitated mcdicnl evi dence. "When this Is not required , " said he , "then , us a general rule , an Inquest Is not necessary. I believe that In the hands of n physician the ovpcnso of running the olllco would bo greatly reduced. " "Slnco the Inw In Massachusetts wns changed not ninny years ago , " said Dr. Tovvuo , "making It necessary to elect a good physician to the olllco of coroner , very much moro satisfactory results have boon oh- tnincd , nnd I believe , everything considered , a great deal of money would bo saved' to Douglas county by having a physician in the office. " "I am strongly In favor of giving the ofllco to a practicing physician , " said Dr. Gltick. "and give as my reasons the opinion that much can do ilono toward reaching more satisfactory results lu the holding of In- iiucstn and post the rtcui examinations. A physician can comprehend more , in cases of suicide especially , at a glance , as to what flhould bo done thun nuy undertaker could over llnd out. " Dr. O. S. Wood I think o physician ought to hold tliojiosltion of coroner. It would bo a saving of expense to the county , because there nro often times when a physician cor oner could tell whether nn inquest or autop sy was necessary or not , when an undertaker coroner could not and the latter would bo forced to institute ftuch investigations. When an undertaker is coroner it throws too much patronage to ouo man and is an injus tice. tice.Dr. . II. G. Miller It makes no difference tome mo whether the ofllco of coroner is tilled by a physician or an undertaker. I acted ns coroner In Lonisville , ICy. , and I will say t'nat I would not tnko the position nt $ .1,000 per year. It appears o mo that any pnysl- eian with a good practice has something moro in keeping with his calling than that which ho would acquire through being cor oner. I think ni a matter of cnolco the un- dortnkcr should have it. "I have been in Omaha only three years , " said Dr. Gilmore , "nnd I don't care to rush into urlnt with any opinion. I will say , how ever , that by all odds , the coroner of Doug las county , in my choice , should either bo a doctor or u lawyer. There is a number of you nt physicians und attorneys in Omaha whocould 1111 the ofllco satisfactorily. 1 have no choice : " Dr. Lnnyon considered that the coroner should bo anything but , nn undertaker , as the latter was frequently tempted to work for his individual interests fn preference to these of justice. This , ho stated , without any ro- Hection whatever on the gentlemen who have been connected with the ofllrc hero. Undertaker HurkcU said that whllo ho had , ut ono time , been a candidate for the ollleo , ho believed that It would bo better for a physician to ucu "There are good reasons , however , why either a doctor or an under taker should Illl the ofllco. For.inststice , la case u person is killed or suicides and the body has to bo piepnrod for shipment. In case the coroner is an undertaker , ho can prepare the corpse at once. ' If ho is a physi cian und the inquest is postponed until the next day , the remains will bo in a bud state to handle and would have to bo sent to fnenda in a far worse condition than if proposed at on co. Bnt'this is only an exception. I refer to nine tunes out of ten , u physician could handle the inquest far moro successfully than an undertaker. " Dr. Ayers I can't see why a physician would make any hotter coroner than any other man. The law prohibits a coroner from holding n post-mortem , so the fact that the coroner was a physician would bo of no advantage in that respect. In sumo cases , a physician might be able to moro satisfac torily determine the causes and extent of a man's injuries than an unprofessional coroner ner would bo , but , as a general thing , I don't see what would bo gained by having a physi cian in the olllco. Undertaker Heafo.v An undertaker Is by all moans the most suitable person for core ner. A doctor Is inclined to cut up and dls- iifrurc bodies for the benefits of science and his own persoaalcurioslly. An undertaker , on the other hand , does all ho can to mnko corpse presentable to frieuus. A physician elected to the position of coroner has no equipments for the work. He must buv n vehicle suitable for hauling bodies , a coflln box to carry them In , and must hire a man to take cart ] of the bodies. An undertaker is already equipped nnd can properly attend to the business. Undertaker Hachmann The ofllco of cor oner should bo hold by.an undertaker. In nine out of every nineteen cases quick burial might bo required , Floaters that nro found in the river ; suicides after having boon dead several days , and such cases , require prompt attention for the welfare of the public.

LINCOLN HuncAU OF TUB OMVIIA. :0 : Ur.'O P STIIKRT , LiNCor.x , Nob. , Oct. 4.J The death of Mrs. Dr. Ilobblns , mentioned a Tnr ! Hnn to-day , has become sensational. Friends nnd neighbors of the deceased os ircss tlio bollof that she was poisoned by her lusband. Alleged pccullardeath of two for mer wives Is cited In support of the accusa tion. It la learned that Mrs. Kobhlnsdlcd tn con vulsions , but the attending physician , Dr. Shoomahor , accounts for them by stating .hat her death wns duo to n peculiar disease ) t the kidneys. He denominates the spasms in which she mod uraomtc convulsions. It appears that the doctor's second wife Hied Id similar convulsions In August , 1SS3 , and at that time there wcro also ugly rumors. Some three mouths ago ho married his Iiouso- Iccopor , a Miss Cole , wno is qitlto proml- icntly connected hero , and her death , coming so sonn after his thlni wedding day , under alleged similar circum stances , started tongues to wagging venom ously. Indeed , it Is opOuly suited that his lirst wife went. In precisely tlio Bamu way. Iheso stories became so open , so direct und so positive that A. C. Klckots. W. H. Hardy , D. K. Lllllnridgc , M. D. Tiffany , Cyrus P. Flick , II. D. Horgolt and C. II. Uudgo , said to bo Unbbins' friends , addressed nn open call to Coroner Shoemaker demanding a post mortem examination and an inquest. At this hour the coroner is preparing to do their bidding. It scorns , however , that Prof. Nicholson , of the state university , refusesto make the examination because the county rctuscd to allow his bill of $100 for making a ilmllar examination on the dead body of an infant child alleged to have been poisoned hero several weeks ago. This , it is said , may occasion some delay , bat it Is under stood thnt the examination will commence to-morrow. Divorced Idit Devoted. The petition to a suit will bo illed In the district court within a few days that alleges many sensational features. Some six years ago Charles W. Geode , of this city , was united in marriage to Miss Lillie May , n young girl but fourteen years of age , and they lived happily together thereafter. Something llko two years ago , however , the husband wcnttoICansastoscek work and left his wife with Mrs. Jennie May , an nunt who lives iiMho city. Itnppoars the aunt did not like her niece's husband , and b.v threats , entreaties and commands in duced her to upply for a divorce at the November term of court , nearly a year ago. C. G. Daxves , a member of the bar of tins city , was retained by Mrs. May to secure the divorce. The petition sot up thnt Mrs. Geode had been deserted by her husband ; that she hud been cruelly treated und abused b.v him while they lived together. Evidence was introduced supporting the allegations of ' the petition , aud the court readily' grunted her a decree. Shortly afterwards she re moved to another state. Since then , how ever , the divorced conplo sought each other In correspondence. Explanations followed , und about a week ago the divorced wife ar rived hero , She immediately sought a lawyer and stated her caso. A rich petition resulted. It cnarges Dawes , her former at torney , with inducing bar to sign the petition for divorcement charging desertion , cruel treatment and abuse without her knowing anything of its contents. She also allcccs that her husband bad always been good and kind to her ; that he had not deserted her , nnd that at the time the decree was granted slioluiow where he wus and had been in con stant correspondence with him ; that , In fact , her aunt had compelled her to take the step she bad taken , and that the allegations of the petition were untrue. Upon this stato- mcnt she prays that the decree may bo set aside aud past relations restored. Important Itccnininnnilatlons. Auditor Hcnton was at his desk this morn ing. Ho returned last night from Boston , Mass. , where ho attended the meeting of the committee appointed by the national conven tion of railroad commissioners. Kogarding the meeting the auditor says : "There was a full attendance of the committee. The moot ing was for the purpose of recommending to the different states amendments whcroby a uniformity of railroad legislation may bo reached. Several interesting suujccts were proposoil and discussed , nnd recommenda tions were male which , if adopted by the legislatures of the different states , will tend , in a great measure , to solve the railroad question. Ono particular recommendation , which is of interest to a largo number of Nebraska people , is in regard to the ship ment of coal requiring railroad companies to deliver the number of tons of coal to the con signee , which is billed by the con signors and allowing them only to charge for the actual tonmigc shipped. For Instance , a dealer in Lincoln or Omaha purchases a car load of coal at the mines. Ho is compelled to take thb miiio weights , which 1 will say is eighteen tons , and upon which ho pays the freight. When the car arrives It is from ouo to three tons short. Now , tbo question arises , where docs that shortagp occur. Isituttlie mines , or is it en route , und is not the company responsible to the consignee for the amount named in the bill ot lading ( It is claimed that several coal dealers have been compelled to retire from business m this state because of this. Many other equally important recommenda tions were made. The meeting was har monious and of interest , especially to ttioao present.

Thcso two principles of mnn atoning with his Maker , by monns of prayer and penitence , nnd ntnnlnif with hh follow. man by menus ot forclvonosi nnd repara tion , have been lived up to by the .lew * through nil the ages of their existence. The practice ot' abstaining on that day from food or other ciinml unjoymonts , Is in perfect Keeping with the Idea underlying the D.tyof Atonement ; .

On the othnr hand the spirit of Jewish religion dis countenances the Ucu of nuy nton- ing power to tlio nut of fasting.

Wltnout dovotlng the day to sclf-rullectlon , meditation nnd a determination to do oao'u duty in llfo as the only means of living In nccordunco with the divine purpov ) , fasting has no value nnd will lead rather to n degrading of religion to nup- uratitlon.
