At that hour the masons cn ngcd on the walls were ascending the ladders to commence the afternoon's work , and one of tlit'lr number , James McKinley , started to go with them. Ho had not been nt work for several days owing to necessary delay caused by the carpenter work. Ho was not In lit condition to go to work , nnd when he started to ascend the ladder ho was advised not to do'so by Ills fellow workman. The build ing has only reached the seconu story , and It was only n fourteen foot ladder the un fortunate man attempted to climb. lie per sisted In going to work , nnd hud got a llttlo over half way up the ladder when he lost his bold and fell backward , striking squarely on bis head on tlio floor below Several ot his comrades saw him fall , and Instantly ran to him. He was limp a'ul unconelous when they reached him nnd picked him up. Blood soon commenced to trickle from ears and nostrils. He was hastily carried into Camp's drug store adjoining , nnd Drs.

The meeting of the city council last nlcht was pro-cmincntly n gathering of the citj fathers to discuss charters and franchises They were no llttlo common everyday f ran- chlscs that people ara In the habit of asking of the city , but were franchises and charters asking the rlirht to invest capital in amount ! that reach well up | Into the millions. Th < two urlnclpal charters asked for were by tin Twin City street railway compan ; and the Interstate bridge and streo railway company. The former wns to take the place of the charter granted at i previous meeting , but which the mayo neglected lo sign , and which the company refused - fused to accept on account of the numerous lestrlctions that had boon place I upon it by the council. The Twin City Company I : backed by J. W. Paul , who has Invested sev eral hundred thousand dollar ) in Connei Bluffs realty in the vicinity of the river , am a powerful corporation back of him. Tlit other charter is asked for by the Eivst Omah : land and Improvement company , backed bj unlimited capital in the hands of borne of tin most progressive and aggressive men ii Omnba. Both companies propose to bulk and operate street car lines ncrosi the river nnd throughout the twi cities. The latter company proposes t < construct n $1,300,000 bridge over the rive conncctingCounnil Bluffs with East Omaha The Interests of both are antagonistic nn < competitive , and the council 13 surroundei by a llvclv light. Tbo Omaha & Councl HlufTs electric motor line and bridge com pany has shied its castor Into the ring and i : engaged In a hot light tigainst both of thi now companies. The council Is in n tryini position , but the general public is Jubilant contldont thatout of all the turmoil only general oral good can come/ assuring additional tie : to bind the Interests of the twin cities and i 5 cent faro both ways. . Tbo ordinance submitted by the Twin Cltj company differs slightly from the former OIK amended and passed by the council. It is nl most a verbatim copy of the Omaha motoi charter , and relieves the company of some ol the restrictions that were deemed too em burrassing Incorporated by the council in tin rejected ono. In the charter submitted by the Interstate companv every provision Incorporated uv the council In the ordinance rejected bv the Twii City company Is voluntariully added. The charter was prepared Jointly by Fmloj Burke , osq. , and the attorneys of the lane company In Omaha , and Is candid , fair ane explicit. "If I thought them was i scheme to it , if I thought the com pany did not intend to comply will every provision , if I thought fora minute tlm tlio Intention was not to build n bridge and i railway system of the character described , . ' wouldn't touch It , " remarked Mr , Burke "Hut I know what t am talking about , and ' . know \vlnt is coming , I know that all thi company desires Is n charter under which i1 can build and operate Its brldgo and Hues. I Is as fair a charter ns can ho drawn , wlthou subtllty or disguised loopholes through whlcl the company can sneak out of Its obligation to the city and tbo people. " The charter Is very brief and explicit I grants the right to build abd maintain strce railway lines on all the streets of Councl Bluffs nnd East Omaha , except Broadw.r west of Sixteenth street and other street exempted , It runs for a period of twenty live years and asks no exclusive rights. Ate to the construction of lines on paved street It places Itself under the usual restrictions and agrees to pay for the paving between th tracks nnd ono foot on each side on al streets paved before the tracks nr laid , and to pay tbo cost of all not paving without protest. The company njn-ee to erect mid maintain lights nt all street into sections where other Hncj are crossed. Th company agrees to commence work of coi : Htructioh within bix months from the date c the charter , and to complete and have In opci atlon Its lines from the business center c Council Bluffs to within a ror sonablo distance of the buslnes center of Omaha within three years , ante to construct lines nnd occupy all other street named within ton years , It provides that o any of the streets not occupied by that tim the right to construct Unas shall bo forfcitoc The requirements ot the Interstate law re gardlng to pooling or pro rating are compile with. The faro from any point on the com pany's lines in the two cities is tlxed nt 15 cents , nnd a pro vision Is Incorporated that no prorating arrangement shall be entered Into with any company paralleling Its tracks by which more thnii n cents shall bo charged for ono continuous passage to and from any points within or between the two cities , Another important provision prevents tbo company charging for the carriage of any baggage or parcel weighing ten pounds or lass. These ara Important features ot the char ter and were Incorporated with a view of meeting all the objections the council offered to the Twin City ordinance. The council had u preliminary skirmish over the matter In n meeting of the commit tee of tlio whole yesterday afternoon. They met ut ft o'clock lu the back room of the now patrol houjc. Mr. Paul , representing the Twin City company , and Mr. woods , who Is looking after the Interests of the other or ganization , were present , Hoforo Mr , Paul entered tlio room Mr. Woods took occasion to Inform the council that 1m company was In no manner engaged In a light with Mr , i'aul and his company nnd were offering no objections to this granting of any charter the other company might nsk provided It was not an exclusive one. The discussion was informal nnd occupied the tlmo of the members until the supper hour. There was n full attend inca of members nnd Interested parties whun the council reassembled - assembled last evening , The chief Interest centered In the fran chises to bo asked for nnd tbo lareo audience present listened to the reading of the bills and the routine committee work and reports with a good deal of impatience. A petition wits presented by Frank Cook containing about two hundred names of prominent cltl- yens assuring the council that they apprecia ted the efforts of the Twin City street rail way company to compete with the Council IllufTs and Omaha railway nnd bridge com pany , thereby Insuring Improved service and reduced rates , nnd tbntthev feltcoiilldent that the Twin City company would do nil In Its power to enhaiie-o the value of properly In this city , knowing that ono of the principal ofllceM bus boon purchasing large properties for the past lour years , and they therefore asked the council to grant the charter asked for. Hut the consideration of the charter went over until routine business was com pleted. A petition was presented by A. C. Graham and others asking for the construction of n levee with "street tilling" consisting ot thrco- Inch plank with earth embankment. The levee Is asked for the protection ol property In the northeastern portion of the city , nnd Is to commerce at the embankment of the Northwestern railroad - road at tlio southeast corner of Luke View park and to continue south along the river bank In connection with the United States government work lying south of the laico. Marie Mynsler lllcd her acceptance of the street railway ordinance recently granted for tbo construction of u motor line to Mynstcr Springs. The grading estimate of T. O'Hcarn for work done on Bentoii street was presented by the chairman of the finance committee. Approved and the general estimates ordered to bo assessed acainst the property. A simi lar report was made on the cstlma'.c of C. H. Mitchell. The assessment of a lot on Lower Hrond- way belonging to Mrs. E. J. Phubert was ro- duccd one-half for the year 18'J. ) owing to clerical error or assessor. , - Tlio potitltlon presented carlierin the even ing asking for the construction of a levee north of the city was granted and the dork instructed to advertise for bids to bo re ceived two weeks hence. The proposed levee will bo 0,100 foot long and wide enough for n good roadway. Several sewer and grading contracts were approved. The matter of chief Importance , that of the street car franchise , was then brought up bj a communication from tbo Twin City com pany regretting tbo failure of the other char ter nnd submitting tbo now ono. The mayoi presented the petition of citizens asking foi the immediate granting of the charter am the rules were suspended nnd the ordlnnnci was passed to its second reading , Aldurtnai Smith moved to refer it to the committee o the whole , and was sustained by the council Mr. Paul and Mr. Mercer were prescn and consented to the action by their silence The Interstate company's charter was thei introduced nnd read. The twentieth ruli was suspended and the ordinance was ad vanccd to the second reading. " A motion wn made to refer the matter to committee of tin whole , but before any notion could be tukoi Mr. Woods , In the Interest of tno company begged the council to take Immediate action Mr. Potter , president of the EastOnaht Land company , was nlso present. Mr. Wood stated that. Mr. Potter had Just informa him that the subscription books of the com pany had been opened jcsterday nfternooi and that $300,000 of the stock was taken ii two hours. Mr. Woods stated tlm immediate action wns important for tbo ret son that It would materially assist in ot taming the charter from the governmentam that Mr. Potter would start for Wnshlngto tomorrow prepared to push the matte through as quickly as money and Inlluciic could accomplish it. The motion to refc tbo matter to tlio committee of tbo whol lost , and the motion prevailed to suspend th rules mid advance the ordinance to Its se < ona reading. At this Juncture Colonel Dad made nn appeal to the council to refer th ordinance to the committee of th whole , as was done with the Twi City charter. Mr. Shugart also asked thr consideration of the ordinance bo deform but the council continued to discuss the Intel state orilinanco section by section with view to amending when approval could ne bo given. Section two was changed to rea "nil streets lying in tenitory west of th Missouri river , " instead of in "Kast Omaha. Section three was amended to exclud South Eighth street nnd any and all oth ( streets that may bo hereafter designated fc boulevard purposes. No other amendments were suggesteU r the various sections were read until the Jim section was reached , relating to the time I which the work of construction should I completed. The section was discussed t length , but no material change was made , A vote being taken , the interstate ord nance was passed nnd the council ndjournc to Wednesday night , when the Twin CIt ordinance will bo taken up. dents furnishing goods , especially th latest In neckwear , ut Ottenlieimer's , 41 Broadway.

There Is the suggestion of clovcK , of green Holds stretching faraway tOjllio horizon about It , and it recall' incidents In 'all our lives , our llrst clay In the crush of , a race trade. Some there bu who will sadly rpcnll thee nays and sleh for "what might have ibcon1 while others will congratulate thonwlvcs that they escaped the Moloch of the course with out losing their clothes , nlndlvldually and collectively "A Straight Tip" is produced by the strongest farce com edy compr.ny on the road. It is made up of Mio brightest lights among the farceurs , leaded by ono of the most unctuous comedl- , ns the American stage can boast , James T. 'ewers. Since last seen In Omaha Mr. Powers has lad tbo benefit of three seasons it the Casino , Now York , under the management of Rudolph Anronson , nnd has so rounded and perfected his art that ho "oaves nothing to bo de-ured. His Intcrprotn- Ion of the role of Dick Dasher Is about ns 'lover ' a bit of acting us has boon seen onitbo local stage for many years. | Next to Mr. Powers comes Peter F. Dally , ivho is Intmltablons the "dead gam > sport , " Tack Pots. Ho brings to tbo role n versa- illty and a humor which Is thoroughly de- Ichtful and Is un excellent "feeder" for the chief fun maker. Ills success , however , Is so pronounced that ho quite divides the 'lonors with the star. Dennis IJolaii Is cleverly .impersonated by John Sparks , a member of llarrlgan's com- nny for years. The training ho received In : hat excellent school has llttoel him for this character , which Is the Irishman you meet every day. Ulcharel Gormnm , n former stellar nttrac- Ion , Is quite content to play Abner Haw kins from Maine In the present organisation , and ho plays it mighty well , too. A bit sug gestive of Hichard Golden in "Old Jed Prouty" still It is an impersonation that will command attention anywhere. F. T. Ward's characterization of a tramp s a delicious bit of work , clean cut nnd In cisive , and he makes the character stand out as ono of the big features of the performance. Emma Hanloy , as Kitty Dolan , gives n finished portraiture of n thorough young woman of the world. May bo a bit over done , but none the less delightful on that ac count. She has beauty , ability nnd sufficient chic to make her In u few years the leading soubrette on the stage. This is saying n creat deal , but her work Justillcs all that can bo said of it. All the other characters nro equally SvcH akcn and the farce comedy is the best seen a Omaha. STKAinilT TIM.

Prebs. Ahnoft in the snmo breath h made use of the following hifjiilficantan ominous liuifjuiieo : "Blnino's gron strength lies in his capacity to lead llisafjilo mind , his fullness of resource's and his eminence in the ropubUcu party furnish elements of most oxtrnoi dinar v strength.

It will bo recalled that i tlio hours of turbulent excitement whSe followed the November jdtiy upon whic the nation voted the campaign coinnii tees of both parties claimed to have wo a victory. Tlio democrats insisted that upon tli face of the returns they hnd carried No York. First they put the plurality i high ns 100,000. Gradually It dwindle until llnnll they conceded lliolr willinj nc&s to accept an advantage- but littl over 1,000 votes. It was n notorious fni that hundreds of ballots cast for Gcnon Butler at the Long Island city pols woi counted for Cleveland , but the ropul lican national commltto , though at Hi' ; so inclined , nt last concluded , not t make a contest. A bit of unwritten history was fu nlsliod to the Press correspondent toda ; the details of which alTord strong ov denco that , grouting'Cleveland nil tl fraudulent votes counted for him i Long Inland city , hoovou then failed i carry the state by from 15,000 to 5,01 votep.
