The Tns lilst.
The county commissioner * hold tholr
weekly wrnnglo yesterday nftornoon. They
wore nil present nml the 'atmosphere was
sulphurous nt short Intervals. Several mut
ters wore- brought up which" caused coti'id-
oralilo discussion.
The county nttornoy returned the cummu-
nlcntlon of the Democrat Publishing com
pany which had been referred to him , and
stated that , after an examination of the
contract and the bid which was , by the
terms of the contract , mndo a part thereof ,
ho is of the opinion that the company had
agreed to publish the tax list , three Inser
tions , for 2J and > < > / cents per description ,
and also stated that tlio contractor has no
claim against the county except for thoprlco
contracted for , whether reasonable or un
reasonable.
An opinion from AV. J. Conncll was sub
mitted by the Democrat publisher. The
chairman objected to having tills road , as It
was not addressed to the board. Mr.
Vaughn asked that It bo rend anyhow , but
Mr. Mount told him to take It to a court and
-not brine It Into the board , which was not u
court. At the request of the members it
was rend. Tim opinion was based on the
opinion of Messrs. Gannon , Hrcck
& Shea , which is directly con
trary to the opinion of the county
attorney. Mr. Conncll qualified his opinion
by saying ho had not seen the bid , but
thought the contract called for % % and 5 *
for cuoh Insertion.
As a matter of fast , the contract does not ,
specify the number of Insertions , but the
bid , winch Is nmdc.a part of the contract ,
distinctly states that the llgurcs quoted nro
for thrco insertions.
A communication was received from the
ticket agent of the Wubash railway , asldnt :
that the commissioners nllow their claim of
J'Jl.'J. ' ) for the transportation of the insane
prisoner , " .Tuck ttio Kipper , " to Now York.
The nmount covers the cost of two tickets to
Now Yorl : ana one return ticket. This is
the result of Commissioner Turner's junket ,
when he accompanied Jailor Joe Miller to
New York in charge of .Tuck the Hipper.
Anderson moved that the amount be
allowed , but O'KeelTe protested against the
payment. Ho said It wus establishing a very
bad precedent to allow such accounts.
Turner wedged in n side remark to the
effect Hint If any claim wcro allowed this
ono should be.
The claim was put to veto and carried , all
the members voting for it except O'KeetTe.
who wanted his protest recorded.
A request was received from the Hebrew
Dcnovolcut society requesting f50 to be used
in purchasing tickets to San Francisco for a
man , wlfo and eiaht children. O'lCculTo re
marked that it would bo mono reasonable to
allow this than to allow such a claim its tbo
last one. It was referred to the committee
on charity. ,
Two bids \vcro received for grading In sec
tion 23 , 1(5 ( , 12 as follows : Cowan & Hall ,
1JJ ( ! ( cents per cubic yard ; .Tames Taylor ,
17Jrf cents. Thoy.weie referred.
( Jlork F. E. Mooros submitted his report
of lees collected during the quarter ending
September 30 , amounting to $101.
A resolution with along preamble was in
troduced by AndorHpn , which precipitated a
wrangle. The resolution recited the fact that
the law makes it the duly of the county clerk
to make out estimates for books , blanks , etc. ,
and that the commissioners by resolution ,
directed the county cleric to procure blank
tax receipts in accordance- with tbo require
ments of the law , which the cleric has failed
to do. It concluded :
"Resolved , That the manor bo referred
to the county attorney with instructions to

resolution. "
O'KeelTo excitedly exclaimed that the
clerk was under bonds to perform his duty ,
and It was unnecessary to have the county
tuka such action. It had not been done be
fore , and ho thought the gentleman was
very personal in his insinuations against the
county clerk.
Anderson stated that ho was well aware
that there were many things which had not
been dona by the commissioners in for mot-
years , but the law was very plain , and ho
proposed to see that it Is complied with as
far ns lay iu his power.
O'ICeoffo remarked that it had never been
nccesrary to call a grand iury to alt on the
commissioners before.
County Clerk Uocho asked to bo allowed
to make a statement to the board , but An
derson objec'ed and his objection was sus
tained by Chairman Mount , notwithstanding
O'lCoelTo's protest against the "gag law"
being enforced.
County Surveyor Howes submitted a plan
for soworogo for the county hospital , which
was referred to the committee on construc
tion with power to act.
Appropriation shout No. 20 , of the general
fund , came up for the second rcadin ? . Tlim
i.s tbo sheet on which the Democrat's bill of
$703 appeared. On motion of Anderson , this
amount was changed to read $545.11 , and the
appropriation sheet was then passed.
Appropriation sheet No. 21 , of the general
fund , amounting to .S547.30 , was passed.
A number of vouchers for works on roads
and bridges worefrcferrcd to the proper com
mittecs.
A number of small bills was recommended
by the various committees nnd ordered placed
on the next appropriationshctit.
A resolution was passed directing the
county clerk to advertise for bids in grading

Tbo resolution appropriating # 5,000 to pay

Twentieth street south of Vinton , and
Thirtieth street north from Aincs avenue ,
was rescinded , and the balance of iho $5,000

from a European flight on the advlco of his
now nttornoy , General Stiles , Klddlo put in
n claim for $12,400. One-third of this was
for legal services and the remainder for
money loaned. The suit hinged chlolly upon
the question of veracity between tbo two
men , and the court , in announcing his deci
sion , said :
"An honorable life can not bo tie-
spoiled of Its Just rewards by the
adoption of the rule that ono man's testi

A TKIBUTE TO AMERICA.
England Cradled liberty , In Colum

LONDONOct. . 20. Gladstone made nn ad
dress at Chester to-day on the condition of
the working classes.
In concluding ho urged the English workmen -
men to study the history of the American
revolution.
Ho claimed that it wus by and from this
country that the love of freedom was sown
in America. England now iu return reaped
advantages from American vindication of
these principles of freedom which
animated the revolution. The system
of government in America com
bined that love of freedom , respect
for law and desire for order , which formed
the surest * elements of national excellence
and greatness.
It was not extravagance to any that al
though there were only $2,000,000 in the
thirteen states at the time of the revolution ,
the group of statesmen that proceeded from
them were a match for any in the whole his
tory of the world , nnd were superior to
those of any ono epoch.

'Iho remains of Mrs. William Ladd , alias
Lottto Leland , were Interred nt 11 o'clock
yesterday In tlio Cnthollo cemetery. No or-
vlccs were he-id. The rohtlvcs of Iho tie *
censed from Chicago nnd Springfield , 111. ,
wcro the only persons who followed llio re
mains to tticlr last resting place. They left
for homo on last evening's train.
The Inquest ns to how the deceased came
to her death was resumed yesterday morn-
Ing. Dr. F. S. Thotnnswas the flr t witness
called nnd testified as to the woman's mental
condition. Did not think that her answers
could bo relied on. Thought It DOAslblo that
n person In her condition could mnko rational
answers nnd was of the opinion thnt her an
swers nittilo later miaht bo more reliable
than those mndo when ho saw her.
Dr. D Mncrno saw her Monday nftornoon ,
nnd would bo disposed to place confidence iu
her statements. Said shod Id n't ' know how
she was shot , but did not do It herself.
Stated that Scott did not shoot bar.
The prisoner Scott was then examined , the
jury going to the clly Jail to tnko his testi
mony. Ho said the woman snapped the re
volver at the mirror , und then turned around ,
seemingly holding thn cuti with both hands.
She pulled thn trigger , when thcio was a re
port and she fell. Had seen her unload the
gun and snap It on previous occasions , Had
not been drinking and did not have n bottle
of whiskey. Hud his revolver In his band
whllo in the narlor , but did not nourish it.
Went to all the bouses thrco or thrco times n
week to got the n nines of now girls. Hns n
wife nnd ono child , nnd his father niso lives
in the family.
O Ulcer .loslyn was the ilrst witness called
after dinner. Saw the girl Monday after
noon , nnd questioned her. Said she Uncw
nothing nbout the shoollng. Said she didn't
dolt ; didn't think Scott did , because he hod
no reason to ; didn't ' know who did do It.
Said she took the gun out of Scott's pocket ,
took out the cartridges , pointed it at the
glass mul-pulled the trigger. Remembered
no moio about It. Nuxt day she suit ! she re
membered handing tlio gun back to Scott.
Had scon Scott drink , but not to CXCOFS , nnd
never saw him under the Influence of liquor.
Know Scott had boon going with < the de
ceased for two or three months.
Olllccr Fowler was next called and testi
fied as follows : "Scott asked mo to gi3 to
the house to soil some tickcis for our ball , ns
ho said Hello had promised to take two.
My beat wus on Upper Broadway , but it was
Sunday night and everything was quiet , HO I
went. Came away and left him there. Whllo
coming down Upper Hroadway Scott nskcd
mo to go Into a saloon , ns ho wanted to got a
drink of whisky. Ho went in nnd I waited
outside. Did not hear of the shooting for
nearly an hour after it happened. As wo
were coming down street ho rushed Into tbo
street and jumped on n motor train that was
running very fust. I don't see how ho man
aged to got on. About three minutes later
ho ngnin stood before mo nnd said : "That's
that- : of a Urelz. " Hrctz is Iho
name of a motor line conductor. "
Hluncho Clifton was recalled and stated
positively that she saw Scott tnko two loaded
cartridges out of his gun 'at the foot of the
stairs. Showed how ho ' 'broke" the gunnncl
extracted the cartridges. *
Mlnnio Snoatlio was the next witness , She
said"Scott came to my house , In the west
ern part of the city , In June , and Introduced
himself as a policeman. Said ho wanted to
get i > respectable boarding place for a.voting
l.idy frie'iil , whom ho had known slnco she
was a little girl. Said ho couldn't takq her
to his house bccnuso his wife was disposed
to bo contrary and would not agree
to it. Paid a week's board In
advance nnd brought her there.
Said she was to receive no gentleman callers ,
but that he might stop occasionally to ceo
bow she was getting along , as ho had to go
to the bridge every day. Got to cotmug so
often that she objected , nnd told the girl she
must leave , after being there ten duvs. She
went to another place where ho had engaged
board for her. Heard her say stic was
afraid of Scott , did not like him , and had
tried hard to shalic him , but could not do it.
Ho wanted her to go west with him , and
leave his family , but she did not want to.
Wanted to llnd some ono go Inf.- west by
wagon , EO that she could go and leave no
trail by which ho could follow her. Said
she believed ho would rather kilt her
than sco her go with someone else.
Scott was ver.v jealous , and ho had brought
her there to keep her away from other cnJl-
ers. Later , deceased went to Omaha , nria
came back after awhile , and lived just north
of the creek on Thirteenth street. Mot her
a few times , and deceased always bogged
her not to reveal her hiding place to Scott. "
Ofllcor Mullen testified that ho arrested
Scoit , but did not see him searched at the
station , and did not know whether or not
Scott had a bottle of whisky. Smclled bla
breath as ho was taking him to the station ,
nnd thet-o was a slrong odor of liquor. Did
not think Scott was under the Influence of
liquor.
Dr. Waterman was the last witness , and
repeated his statements ureviously made to
n reporter , nnd which have boon published.
This was nil the evidence on hand , and tlio
jury then retired to mnko out u verdict.
They discussed the situation for nearly nn
hour , when they returned the following ver
dict :
"We , the Jurors , upon our oaths , do say
that Mrs. William Lndd , alias Lottlo Lo
land. cnmo to her death from n bullet from a
revolver , and wo believe , from all the clr-
cumslanccs in evidence , that said revolver
was hold in the hand of C. W. Scott. "
This verdict was not unexpected and
meets with n general expression of approval.
It docs not convict Scott of murder , but it
insures a full and complete Investigation ,
when all of the facts , pro and con , will bo
produced.
It is bolloved that the vigilance of the of *
fleers alone prevented Scott from becoming
the target for a bullet yesterday morning.
As stated in yesterday's Bii : the brothers
and sisters of the deceased called at the sta
tion Friday evening to sco the prisoner.
Ono of the brothers appeared very nervous ,
nnd kept his right hand In his outside over
coat pocket In u very suspicious manner , and
at the whispered request of a sister , u friend
pulled him to ono sldo and stated that
tbo prisoner was not allowed to talk. Ho
ilnnlly induced him to leave the jail for the
time. Orders wcro then given to keen n
close watch on the strangers , and If caught
prowling about the station to lock them up.
Yesterday morning the three brothers
called at the police station and asked to bo
allowed to sea or talk with fccott. City
Marshal Guunolla entered the jail proper ,
nnd after conferring with Scott It wus de
cided to search the men before permitting
them lo see him. Two of Iho men did not
object to a search , but the third ono did. A
revolver of ! U caliber , each chamber loaded ,
was found in his possession. This was taken
away from him , after which Scott
was called out. The men look n good
look at him , but said nothing. Scott wan
then returned to Ills cell , The men then
teen their departure , after receiving the
weapon. On luinJIiig it to the party from
whom it was taken , ho was informed that bo
had no right to carry a concealed weapon in
this state , to which ho replied that ho hud n
right to do BO. After their departure a liiisty
consultation was had among the officials ,
which resulted In a wariant being sworn
out for the arrest of the man who hnd the
gun on Iho charge of currying concealed
weapons , and it was placed In the bands of
Marshal Guunolla to sorvo.
The man kept out of eight , however , anil
left , on the evening train , It is the opinion
of the officers that the brotherfullylntciiclo.l
to shoot hcott as soon as ho appeared , aud
went to the jail for 'hat purpose.
The reason why the coroner's Jury went to
the juil to examine Scott , Instead of having
him taken to the loom where the Inquest
was hold , was because the city marshal re
quested it , stating that ho was nf raid that
Scott would bo killed If taken outside , As
It was , oftlcers were stationed at the windows
dews when Scott was taken out of his cell
Into the marshal's ' off lea to prevent anyona
shootlnir him from the outside. Scott was
badly frightened , and ho trembled as he
glanced nervously from ouu window to an
other , to BOO If an assassin lurked near. Ho
was but partially reassured by the words of
the marshal , and was evidently greatly re
lieved to get back to his cell , where u steel
wall nrotecteu him ,
One of the results which Is an outcome of
the trngedv is Iho resignation of Officer
Joglyn. Ho states thct the mayor demanded
Ins resignation yuttcrduy morning , and re
fused him any hearing or opportunity to vin
dicate himself , It Is not probable , however ,
that ho will be dismissed from the force with
such a stain upon bin name If It is in his
power to establish a vindication. Huclulmu
lo bo ubio to prove that tbe charges uyaliut
him are untrue.
