Papers were Hied In the district court yesterday afternoon in n suit which will test the validity of the sale of the Omaha business of the Howell Lumber company by II. N. Jewott to Clnrenco L. Chnffeo r.nd will probably bring out the real facts in connection with the recent - cent financial troubles of the big Chicago lumber king. The suit U brought by E. M. Bnrtlott , csq. , of the firm of Bartlctt , Crane & Baldrldgo , nnd Hon. John M. Thurston , ns attorneys for the First National bank of Chicago , plnmtlfT , ngalnsl the Howell Lumber com pany , Spooner U. Howell , Clarence L. Chaf- fee , Herbert N. Jowott , Missouri Luihbcr nnd Mining company , M. A. Dlsbrow , Sheriff John F. Boyd , Coroner Cornelius P. Horn- gan , Mutt Hell nnd C. Burkhnrdt. The potltlon , n longlhy document , details the proceedings that have already boon had In the case. It sots forth thnt Spooner II. Howell wns , prior to .luly 13 , 1891 , solo owner of the largo lumber business nt Omaha conducted under the name of the Howell Lumber 'company nnd ns such owner and proprietor did n general lumber business nnd was nl o solo owner nnd proprietor of lumber establishments at other points , under the name of S. U. Howell & Co. , and Howell. Jewe'.t & Co. The plaintiff , the First National bank of Chicago , loaned largo sums of money to S. H. Howell and dis counted the p.iper of the said Howell under the various firm names until July 1. ) , IS'Jl , When Howell was Indebted to the bank In u turn amounting to moro than 100,000. Then comes a statement of the local deals leading up to the Howell fuiiuro. On July 111 Spooner U. Howell , under the name of the Howell Lumber company , executed and de livered to the First National bank of Chicago cage a chattel mortgage , as security for the Indebtedness , on all of the lumber and stocic of ovury description In Omatm nnd all per sonal property In Omaha , including book ac counts , olllco furniture and fixtures nnd overytning in Omaha owned by Huwoll. This mortgage was followed by n transfer of possession to the plaintiff. The plaintiff iilleircs that the conditions of this chattel mortirago have been broken nnd thnt the in debtedness to the plaintiff , secured by the chattel niorUrago , has not been paid umj no proceedings at law have been taken for thu recovery of said indebtedness. The Jewott-Chnffeo deal is pronounced fraudulent by the petitioner in iho following language : "Plaintiff further says that It is informed nnd believes that Herbert N. Jowott has , for a long time prior and up to July 111 , Iblll , been in the employ of the defendant , Spooner H. Howell , at Omaha , as manager only of the lumberyards of Mild Spooner H. Howell. trading and doing business as thn Howell Lumber company. * * * That on nnd prior to July III , Ib'.ll ' , Herbert N. Jewott nnd Clarence lj. Chaffce , well knowing the prem ises-aforesaid , nnd knowing of the indebted ness of thu Howell Lumber company nnd Spnoner H. Howell to the First National bank of Chicago , and with thu intent and de- Riga to cheat and defraud the plaintiff of said indebtedness from said Spoonor H. Howell nnd for the purno.'e of cheating and dnfraud- Ing Qther creditors of Spooner U. Howoll. nnd for the wrongful , unlawful and fraudulent purpose of converting the property of said Spoonor H. Howell to their own use , entered into n corrupt combination nnd conspiracy for thn wrongful , unlawful and fraudulent pur pose aforesaid and for the purpeso of making said conspiracy effective Herbert N. Jowett unlawfully , corruptly and fraudulently pro- tcnulng to act for Spooner H. Howell , inatlon Crctonded bill of .sale of nil the property oforo described to said Clarence L. Chnffeo , for the pretended con sideration of SSC7.l-IO.frS of which $112,05. ) . 18 was pretended by said II. N. Jewott nnd C. L. ChafTeo , in said bill of snlo to bo paid cash In hand by the said Cluronca L. Chaffco to the said Herbert N. Jewott , and said Chuffoo , as n part of the pretended consideration , assumed iU5-"r.r ! | > ( ) of the indebtedness of Spoonor It. Howoll. " This much at the petition is very plain English nndvLut follows Is no less so. The petitioner alleges that ChalTco was and is without moans with which to pay the $112- 055.18 nnd without properly or means to as sume the indebtedness of fl5l-IS5.5U ; that Chaffeo has no property , moans or as sets'not exempt by law from execu tion. "This plaintiff charges the facts to bo , " continues the petitioner , "tlmtsald consideration named in said pretended tended bill of sale was not paid or intended , by either ChalTeo or Jowett , to bo paid , that said bill of sulo was imulo by sold Jowott , without right or authority nml for the pur- p6so of converting the property to the private nnd personal gain of said defendants , Jowott nnd ChalTco. " It is also charged by the petitioner that the book accounts of the firm , of the value of $200,000 were taken from the ofllco of the Howell Lumber company , by Jowott and Chnffeo , nnd convoyed to a secret place , un known to thu plaintiff , nnd all this as a part of the alleged conspiracy to defraud the First National bnnlc of Chicago and the cred itors of Spooner U. Howoll. Ttioso book ac counts , tlio petitioner charges , are still in the hands of Chuffeo nnd Jowett who nro "by personal solicitation nnd loiters written and sonlthrough tlio United Stales malls , .socrotlv , fraudulently and unlawfully collecting and attempting to collect nnd convert to their own Use , moneys , the proceeds of said book accounts. " Mr. Chnffeo Is nlso charged with sanding to parties Indebted to ttie Howell Lumber com pany "curtain false , llctlttous and fraudulent letters containing statements of account of such Indebtedness , thu headings of which nro printed in the likeness ami similitude of tno Howell Lumber company's letterheads nnd billheads , " and which state in effect thnt Chaffen Is successor in business to said com pany , "ana to further carry out said pretense nnd conspiracy the suld Chaffeo is pretending to saia parties so indebted and to others that ho in In possession of said lumber yards and to that end he is lilting orders for lumber through lumber brokers and lumber dealers for the purpose of making it appear to said parties so Indebted thnt he is in good faith conducting said Howell Lumber company's business as successor there to. " The plaintiff further alleges thnt whatever claims Chaffon nnd Jowett may have to the property nro fictitious mid fraudulent and ought not to be allowed to interfere with the plaintiff's claim , The petition further details the history of thu replevin case by which the plaintiff se cured possession of a part of thu property , nnd of thu second case brought to recover the balance of the property. It alleges that KtiodIT Hoyd took possession of the lumber yard , but wns uimblo to got thu book no- counts , liens , commercial paper and evi dences of Indebtedness which Jewett and Ctmffoo , "In furtherance of said conspiracy nforosntd , had covertly and secretly taken away from the olllco of suld Howell Lumber company nnd hidden , " The plaintiff complains that whllo the property was In the possession of the sheriff a largo portion of tlio lumber was seized by Coroner llnrrlgan upon a writ of attachment brought by the Mlsiourl Lumber and Mining company , and llarrlgan still claims pos session thereof against the protest of the plaintiff. It is alleged that Sheriff Iloyd , after turnIng - Ing over the property to the plaintiff , unlaw fully souod a largo portion of it again on u writ of attachment in favor of M. A. UU- - brow & Co. The plaintiff complains thnt the Missouri Lumber nnd Mining company and M. A. UU- brow & Co. threaten to carry thn property kway and have It sold , and that Iloyd and Harridan threaten to assist tbuui ; that Iloyd nut llnrrigan also threaten to seUo by at tachment other property not already attached , Mid If these parties nro allowed to carry out their threats it will work great and Irropar- bio injury to the plaintiff. Whcroforotho plaintiff prays , first , for the appointment of a receiver with the usual boweri lu such cwot and that the inortgago bo foreclosed ; second , thnt Choffoo bo de clared to have no right or claim to the prop erty or moneys collected therefrom , nnd that no nnd .icwctt , nnd their agents , dorks , serv ants nnd employes bo required nnd enjoined to deliver over to snld receiver nil the book accounts , Hens , evidences of Indebtedness nnd moneys collected by or through thorn ; third , thnt the receiver sell the property by ordcrof the court , nnd collect nil outstanding ac counts ; fourth , that nn account bo taken of Howell's Indebtedness to the plnlntlfT ; fifth , thnt the proceed ? bo applied to the pay ment of iho amount found by the court duo to the plaintiff from S.

MILLIONS IN SIDEWALKS , Property Owners Must Pay for Them Whether Needed or Not , FIVE MIES OF STONE MAY .BE LAID , The Counclt'H Order If Carried Out by the Itonrd of l'ul > llu U'urlcH Would linnkriipt l'ro | > - crly Owner * . Property owners Instilo the flro limits nro "viewing with nlnrm" recent actions of the city council and board of public works touch * Ine the mutter of permanent sidewalks ? Tlio Impression tins been generally con voyed to thum Unit under tlio existing order of things nil sidbwnlUs within the lira limits nro linblo to bo ruthlessly torn up , regardless of their condition of good or 111 repair , nml replaced with nrtJ- flclal stone walks and the cost charged up to the property. This Is the understanding of rcnlty owners , and the effect my well be 1m- ngliioil. Complaints nnd protests nro thlck'orn pros pcctlvo candidates , and exulted property own ers nro asklnif each other what they nro polng to do. Unfor tunately lor them , their fours nro not groundless , nnu tlio Indications are that sonio of the rebellious ones will nave occasion to cnrrry out their throats nnd nsk some sympa thetic ccnllcmnn on the district bench to put at least a temporary stop to the proposed proceedings. Inquiry at the Board of Public Works elicited the following information : First. That the council must condemn old walks before ordering now ones laid In their places. Second. That virtually all the temporary sidewalk inslclo the 11 ro limits has , ucen so condemned nnd now wnllcs ordered laid. Third. That owing to the rejection of bids for natural stone walk , nrtlllclal stone Is the only material that can bo luld for permanent walks. Fourth. That Ford & Hughes have the contract for laying artificial stone sidewalks. That the board of public works has boon ordered by the council to go nhoad at once nnd hnvo these walks put down. Tlio whole thing In a nutshlll is that Ford & I Inches have a corner of the most exclu sive kind , and the council has or dered the board of tmblic works to give them everything In sight as well as sev eral ucn , " beneath the surface. In explaining the situation Chairman Dirk- hauscr stated that there Is a great deal of temporary sidewalk inside the lire limits that is in good condition and the property owners ought not to bo compelled to relay It at the present time , as it will not bo dangerous for at least another year or two , nnd times are too hard to push them to needless expense. Ilu said that ho proposed to call the atten tion of the council to the matter , and would make an examination to see how much of the walk did not need imme diate attention. Ho was not in favor of tearing it up nnd would not do so unless further instructions wore received , but said that if the council insisted on it the Hoard of Public Works could do nothing but carry out their instructions. Personally , ho thought It unnecessary to use artificial or natural stone in the outer portion of iho city , although taken in by the extended tire limits , as brick tillnir would do just as well , but the council had decreed otherwise nnd there was-no help for it. He had nothing to offer as to why natural stone was knocked out , but vouchsafed the information that more bids for that material would bo opened nt the next board meet ing. In the meantime , however. Ford & Hughes have the Held to themselves. The chairman could not loll how much sidewalk was ordered laid. Ho was certain thut thero'was at least a milo , didn't know whether or not there was two miles , and couldn't positively say that thc'ro wouldn't bo tlvo miles. All there is to It , Ford & Hughes have an exclusive contract to put down from'one to live milod of artificial stone sidewalk at IT cents per square foot nnd good plank walks are to bo torn up to give them something to do That is why property owners are weeping nnd alternate cursing and lamentation 111 ! the air. usr\G aui-'T ititi UK. Defective I'nvlni * Material Dlauovorotl Siniir s' Street Sweepers. At the mooting of the Board of Public Works hold yesterday afternoon , the mem bers had u roUna with J. B. Smith & Co. , the contractors who are paving North Twent ieth street with vitrified brick. Some days ago when the board and the city engineer visited the works they discovered some 5,000 soft brick upon the dump. They wcro ordered removed , but in stead of doing so the contractors have shoved the brick into the pavement. The board has ordered all of the objcotlomiblc material torn out and will rofusu to allow the esti mates until the instructions have boon obeyed. C. E. Squires' street swoopine contract and the manner in which the work is being done was brought up and discussed. Major Furuy introduced a resolution to ills- contlnuo the use of two wheeled sweepers but withdrew it before u vote was takon. Ho said the brushes in the .small sweepers were lee soft and would notromoyo anything but Ik-lit dirt ; consequently on stone paved streets ttio sweeping was " not satisfactory. Mr. Squires informed "tho board that largo sweepers had boon purchased and were on the way hero. Insnector Snowden was called In and asked why ho did not follow the sweepers at night Instead of going over the work in the morning. Snowden inspects from 80 : ! ! until noon , and during the balance of the time works in the city engineer's olllco. No action wits taken on the proposition to remove the vacant and dilapidated buildings on Hurt nnd Cumlng streets. Tlio mom tiers were afraid to tackle the buildings , claim ing that they had no authority to outer upon privatn property and remove it nulsanco. A resolution was adopted by which hereafter - after bidders may secure the return of their checks , providing they put up < bonds in double the amount. UnnnupHinry Snirerln/ / ; .

Mr. McL.ean was seen nt the .Murray yes terday morning , and stated Unit ho was on his way to Pueblo , Stock ton , Cnl. , San Francisco nml Portland tland to examine sites for pub lic buildings at those places and had stopped in Omaha for the purpose of looking over the old federal building and reporting upon tno changes necessary In order to make the old pile habitable until the now building Is com pleted. "Has your visit any connection with the now building ! " "None whatever , except that , I shall look the site over in order to familiarize myself with the general situation. The plans have already been approved and prints will bu sent out hero soon. Work on the excavation will be commenced at once and pushed as rapidly as posslole. It will bo Impossible to do anything more than excavate tills season but work on the building itself will bo com menced in the spring. " V ft il the Architects Siiy. Several Omaha architects were nsued for opinions on the sketch of the proposed build- intr and their opinions were chielly remark able for their diversity. Charles Belndorf of the firm of Fowler & Beindorf said the sketch wai a very rough one , and it was uliuott Impossible to form an intelligent idea of the building from the cut , but he was of the opinion thnt the new building would be superior to tlio majority of buildings. There was an entire lack of de tails in the sketch , but the ensemble was good and ho had no doubt the building would be a Handsome one. Louis Mendelssohn of the firm of Mendels sohn , Fisher . * c Litwrio said he had a very poor opinion In general of the uuildlngs erected by the United States government , as they lacked all distinguishing characteris tics. The new building would no doubt bo ns good ns some of the rest of those erected by the government , but it presented a very ordinary appearance and was not such a biiildlng as would attract the attention of visitors. It. was not what would naturally bo expected In a government building. Wliilo a Hnlshod drawing would undoubtedly show the finish more in dentil nnd bo more satisfactory , yet tho- general apncaranco of the building was unsatisfactory and very ordinary. Henry Voss was Inclined to take things ns ho found them. Ho said the building was not bad looking and1 showed a better design than most government buildings , but he strongly disapproved of the plan to have Iho building on the street line , as it would not show off to advantage. If it had been placed back about forty feet from the street , so as to give a good sized ilawn in front , it would make n bettor appearance. "It can't be possible that the sketch fl-ipy the design full justice , " said 'Mr. Sidney Smitn , another well known architect. "If It gives anything like n correct general idea of the building it Is simply execrable : I can't conceive that It is possible that the covemmcnt would issue such a design as that. The sketch Itself is something awful , but it must cer tainly convey u general idea of the building , nnd I must say that it is an extremely ordi nary looking building. It is much more ordi nary than most government buildings , nnd is not calculated to reflect any credit on its de signer. It , is not the sort of a building the people would naturally expect and I imagine there will bo n great deal of disappointment canted bv putting up such n building. " O. M. Zander of the firm of Blake & , /.under , architects , said thu building was very poorly conceived. The putting of 'ii tower in the center of the Sixteenth street front made that side prominent to tne detri ment of the other sides. Ho thought that Seventeenth street was destined to be as much of : i thoroughfare as Six teenth street and it would be the natural outlet for all the streets in the vicinity of the city hall. Ho was not in favor ol putting the buildings on one side of the block and leaving a vacant lot for hitch ing trrounds and peanut stands nt the rear. The building itself was very unsatisfactory , according to Mr. Zander's notion , nnd pre sented anything but an imuosing appearance. Ho would favor putting a turreton / each corner , instead of the largo central tower , us thnt would avoid sacrificing three sides for the1 sake of one. it would not bo necessary to have entrances under the turrets. It would even be better to put the tower on one corner instead of In the canter , but above all things the building should bo in tlio center of the block. _ I'nrentH IlcadThis.
