Jndgo Mnoy yesterday rendered n decision
in the long drawn out Frainoy caso. It waste
to the effect that the homestead , which
stands In Mrs. Frninoy's name , wns liable for
the Judgment obtained some time ngo ngninst
J. J. Frainoy In favor of the administrator of
his father's estate. The decision was based
on the evidence showing that at least SI,000
obtained by Frainoy from the snlo of note ?
belonging to his father's estate was used In
the building of the house , which Mrs.
Frnlney claims belongs to her. In the trial of
the cnso it wns shown thnt Frnlney went
south to iittcnd his fat tier's funeral nnd that ho
took clmrgo of the personnl property , In
cluded in which were some notes , whtcn ho
ild for botwecdil,7Knnd ( ) $1,800. nnd thnt
Uills nfnount ho took ? 1.000 nnd sent It by
i'press ' to Mrs. Frnitioy in Council Bluffs ,
_ lie cnllod nt the express ofllco , receipted for
the money , nnd informed ttio agent that she
wns going to deposit it in Oftlcer & 1'usoy's
* bank. The bank books show thnt such n deposit -
posit was made on thnt dnto. The money
was checked out by Mrs. Frainoy In pay
ment for the construction of the houso. A
little time after this Frainoy deeded the
property to his wife. Such was the ehnhi of
evidence by which the plaintlfjf sought to es
tablish the fact thnt the money belonging to
thoestnto went into this houso.
The defense made by Frainoy was peculiar.
Ho clnimod tlmt the nachngo of money sent
by express was turned over to him by his
wife on his return from the south , and that
ho took It to Omaha , whore In Kothcry's sa
loon he opened It and paid , ono mnii o at of it
1700 for certain detective work done in the
interests of the estate. There were witnesses
who swore that they saw him have the ? 1,000
in currency , and saw him pay the $700 , and
watched him count the balance. Mrs.
Frainoy claimed that the 81,000 , she dopes-
itod in the bank was not the same $1,000
which she received from her hus
band , but ntiothcr bunch of money which
she hnd saved from her earnings during the
preceding six years. She hnd for a long time
been hiding her earnings in the cellar of her
house , and finally concluded to put the money
In the bank , It being a mere coincidence that
the deposit was the same amount and mndo
. -.I ? the same day. She Insisted that it was
icr own money that went Into the builiilng of
the house , nnd"nenco her right to the prop
erty was paramount to any claim against her
husband.
The decision discredits thocolncldenco , and
the Judgment obtained against Frainoy of
nDOUt$2,50U , will now bo n lion nqainst tlio
property , unless set aside by a decision ob
tained on appeal. _

The last , oftlcinl act of ox-Justice Bnrnctt
yesterday before retiring from ofllco was to
announce his decision In the case of the state
against D. IJ. Wilson , charged with assault-
inp A. W. Turner with a singletree with Intent
tent to kill him during au altercation that oc
curred last summer on the Coylo farm , south
of the city. The evidence was clear thnt
"Wilson struck Turner with n weapon capable
of causing his death , but it also showed that
Turner was a quarrelsome follow nud
had provoked the assault nnd hud
made threats against Wilson's life. His
ostlmony , nnd his veracity was Impeached
by n number of his neighbors , and his case
Incited many of the essential elements to sns-
tntn the charge against his assailant. In
view of those facts the Justice held Wilson lito
answer to the grand jury for assault with intent
tent to do great bodily Injury , Ills bond was
fixed at fciJO , which was ( jlvcu , nud Wilson
returned homo.
Wilson intimates that ho will ask the grand
Jury to Indict Turner for making threats to
kill. _

There was moro commotion In the offices of
the Justices of the pence yesterday than there
tins been for nny time during the past year.
The commotion was not caused by n rush of
legal business , for it wns a phonomlnnlly dull
day , but was occasioned by tdo stepping out
of the old and the stepping In of the now.
Yesterday was the first Monday la the new
year , and was the time fixed by law when
the oftlcers elected i\t the last election should
qualify and bo Installed Into ofllce. The elec
tion made n clean sweep of the Justices , not

tnclo of an cntiro change In the porsoncl of
the oflices was presented , The , chnngo In

"Connull Matters.
The meeting of the city council last even
ing wns attended by a larger audience than
generally gather to listen to the discussions
of the aldermen. The cause of the unusual
outpouring was the action of the electric
motor company refusing to pay for the pav
ing netweeen its tracks on streets paved be
fore the tracks were laid , and tlio generally
accredited rumor that the proposed improve
ments upon the old lovco were for the benefit
of the company rather than for the people
whoso property was expected to bo protected.
Among the audlcnco there was a largo rep
resentation of heavy taxpayers on Main ,
Pearl street and Broadway , who came out
for the purpose of protesting against any
thing the motor pcoplo wornthoro to ask for ,
The interested citizens had pretty gener
ally discussed the proposed plans for widen
ing and strengthening the old levee , nnd be
lieved they had discovered a scheme of the
motor company , or people intimately con
nected with it , to have a lot of work done nt
the expense of the taxpayers which would
bo chiefly useful to the promoters. Each citi
zen who had been served with notice of the
corporation's Intention by the answer of
the company's ' attorneys in the suit brought
by the city to compel the payment of the
paving tax , fo't an especial interest in pre
venting the council letting the contracts for
the worlc , and were there to protest as ono
man against the work.
Tno iirst hour of the council's session was
taken up with the report of tlio city oftlcers ,
standing committees nnd rending and allow
ing of December bills. Alderman Casper re
ported In fuvor of discontinuing the gasoline
lamps for the remainder of the winter season.
Petitions for n number of additional electric
lights were reported unfavorably with the , ex
ception of two lights on street intersections
on the bottoms.
IRTliohack nnd express ordinance , which has
been abundantly discussed , was taken up and
passed.
The report of the trustees of the frco pub
llo Horary for the year showed a total expen-
dltiiroof 3),5'.ll ) | : ! , and a total-of 8SbS vol
umes on thu shelves December ai , an-increnso
of 418 over last year.
The levee question was then called up by >
Aldcrmnn Kncplier and the discov
ery was intulo that the minutes
"Showed thnt Kncphur's motion 33It
.the Inst mooting declaring the award
"of the contract for widening the old line to
the lowest bidder had been carried. This
was disputed , and Alderman Kruplor moved
to order thu engineer to tabulate- the bids
and instruct the city attorney to draw tlio
contracts. This motion was voted upon > 10y
ballot and the roll call showed thnt It wns
lost , nnd thnt part of the levee problem
wns cxncditlously disposed of. The inter
ested citizens thus got in a knock-out blow
on the motor company. It wns freely chnrgod
in audible undertones thnt the motor com
pany only desired to have ttio levee widened
for the purpose of permitting them to use
the embankment for the road bed of a pro
posed motor extension. od
The votcrnn llrcir.cn's association asked
the city to pay one-half of the cost of the :
bund ol music cmpluvcd by It on the occasion

ordinance failed to secure sufficient votes to
pass it to its second reading.

ers on the avenues from First to Seventh

The question of opening the alley in the

dual capacity of city attorney nnd member noof
the school board , It was referred to the so
licitor and city engineer ,

There wns a meeting of the bar association
yestordny forenoon , and the fact that there
were very few absentees was a fair Indica
tion of the Interest taken In the chief matter
toha bo discussed. Council 131u.ffs.uus for ye.iw
had a custom which has been ft law unto
itself : to the effect that court should not con-
vcno until 10 o'clock ' In the morning and
should adjourn at 5 In the afternoon , besides
having two hours noon recess. In most other
counties , If not all , the courts have been openIng -
Ing at 0 o'clock hi the morning , and some
times n half hour earlier. An hour or so fern
n noon recess is deemed sufllcient and then
the afternoon session lasts until 0 o'clock.
The question of hours was brought up hereby
by a resolution to the effect that thu old hours
should ho observed , court opcnlnpnt 10 o'clock
In the morning ? An amendment was offered
that the court should oncn at ! ) o'clock. Then
a much moro earnest debate followed than
one would nnturally think could ho aroused
by such a question. The sentiment was soon
shown to ho In favor of the short hours. It
was urged that the short hoursystcm allowed
attorneys a better opportunity to consult
witnesses nnd get their cases In shape to try
moro oxpcditously , and that ID this way tuoro
was really n saving of time and labor , moro
business being accomplished during the hours
of court than could ho done oven with longer
hours , if attorneys were not given such op
portunity for their outside work.
The vote was almost unanimous in fuvor of
In the afternoon there was a consultation
between the judges of this district nnd a com
mittee of the bar , concerning rules of prac
tice : , the assignment of cases , and the arrang
ing of otncr details. All the judges were

County Attorney Orgin Hied his opinion In
the matter of claims of Deputy Marshals
Whlto and Fowler for services as fnlliffs of

they were deputy marshals they must look to

special constables the county should pay the
claims.
The bonds of Justices nnd constables
throughout the county were examined and

Mr. Sherman said the sudden and unox-
pcctid change of scene and introduction of
the now topic of debate should not allow the
revolutionary measure now 'proposed Slow-
art's amendment to pass without the serious
and sober attention of every senator. The
fact that there has been nn unexpected de
fection in the republican party would not ro-
liovn the minority of this body from its re
sponsibility of its support of that measure.
Ho appealed to the sober senco of responsi
bility on the democratic side of the chamber
against the measure , which ho regarded as
revolutionary and dangerous , and the effect
of which , If it should become a law , would bo
more destructive than that of any measure
proposed for years. If the frlendsof silver
had only patience and would wait until the
element of time acted on the silver
law of the last session the policy
of the United States government and
of the French government , together with
the use of silver in the South American
states , would lilt silver up again to the gold
standard and that would give them n gold
value for their silver. Mr. Sherman weiiu on
to say thatthesUvoraetof the last session ,
suspending the coinage of slvcr dollars ,
tended constantly to increase the price of sil
ver bullion , and ho had no doubt that if
speculators had not entered the arena and if f
the ordinary course of business had been nl-
lowed to deal witli the mass of silver and Io
have had 4,500,000 ounces of silver
purchased monthly pri < ws would , have
been slowly enhanced until in a
few vears It might have reached
gold. But speculation had entered mill an
undue- advance In the price of silver had been
forced by combinations until it hud gone up
to I'JO , and then more and more silver came
up on the market suddenly , and the price
hadfnllcu to 1UO , showing that the rise and
full had not taken place in the natural course
of business , but ns the effect of a struggle
between bulls and bears. He sympathized
with the views of the president and Secre >
tary Wlndom and the general feeling of the
republican senators that the best measure of
relief would be the purchase of the 1U,000,000 )
ounces of silver on the market , and the first
section of the bill him mudo provisions for
that. The finance committee proposed ira ire
take off that load from the silver market nnti
put It up at Its market price and then let the
law of the last session take Its course ,
Mr. Stewart replied to Mr. Sherman's
argument and Insisted that it was not the
silver men but the gold "ring" that bad
tampered with the standard in demonetizing
silver.
Mr. Reagan also advocated Mr. Stewart's
amendment. Adjourned.

SCOTCH KAlt. IVA \ ' STRIKK.
\ Great Deal of Rioting Takes IMnoo
nt
GLASGOW , Jan. B. Though the railroad
strike is practically ended today was the most
exciting sinro it bcgnn. A largo force of po
licemen , backed by hussars , were engaged In
evicting strikers from houses belonging to tbo
railroad companies. No nctunl violence was
used but there were many distressing scones.
Much suffering is in store for the families of
the unfortunate strikers , who now , moro
than ever before , have the sympathy of the
public. At Mothorwell Junction , a point
about thirteen irfllcs from hero , a crowd of
strikers nnd their sympathizers mndo
hostile demonstrations nnd refused to dis
perse when ordered by the police. They began
throwing stones. The sheriff read the riot
net and a squad of police ami military cleared
the streets. Six rioters were badly injured
by police batons and Jhis enraged their com
rades. They gathered and attacked the mil-
way station , wrecking the signal box. Trains
were compelled to run through without stop
ping bacauso of the volleys of stones. Event
ually tlio military fired blank cartridges and
dislodged the crowd. At Blnntyre , wlioro a
number of evictions were necontly attempted ,
a crowd of minors sacked a shop and the mil
itary hnd to bo summoned.
More trouble is feared. Tliero nro signs of
further accessions to the strikers from the
ranks of the men at work on the roads because -
cause of heavy duties.
All the miners in the Motherwcll district
have suspended work. They are .largely ro-
sponslblo for today's riots. Inten'so excite
ment prevails tonight , and it Is estimated
that there Is a crowd of SC03 , persons on tho'
streets.
