The action of the council in awarding the
contract for city hall furinturo to the
Ketchum Furniture Company of Toledo , In
face of a lower and altogether moro satisfactory -
factory bid from homo doaleri and contrac
tors , has caused n great deal of feeling among
the friends of homo Industry In the city and
will result In a mint of trouble for the coun-
clltnon.
Interested city laborers have not been
low to express their disgust at the council's
action and have decided to nsk the members
to reconsider the award of tlio contract and
If this request Is refused the laborers have
a moro effective remedy which they promise
to apply In a few weeks.
Under the present scheme it Is proposed to
hold the contract until after bonds have been
Voted before It Is presented to Mayor CushIng -
Ing for his signature , as ho would not np-
prove It without funds in the treasury for the
work. Hut this plan , if persisted in , will
result , the workingmen promlso.ln a surprise
party for the ofllclals who insist on paying
Ohio workmen for doing Omaha work.
Contractor Gouts' Curd.
Mr. .lohn F. Coots , the city .hall contractor ,
who bid with the Dewey & Stone Co. on the
furniture for the now city hall , does not
propose to allow certain Insinuations against
his methods and motives in bludlng to go un
answered. Ho has furnished the following
curd of explanation and defense :
OMAIM , Sept. 2-J.-To the Editor of TUB
Bnn : Hofernnir to the matter of letting the
contract for city hall furniture , I find that
statements madu nt , the last meeting of the
council , In regard to mv action therein , have
led some people to believe that I used un
fair methods to obtain the contract. The
statements I refer to arc : That I withheld
mv bid until after other bids were in , so I
could put in a lower bid : also that I went
last to got prices on furniture ; also that if I
got ttie contract , not n piece of the work
would bo made in Omaha , and that 1 should
buy it east , and simply sot It up here ; also ,
that I did not put In my bid until after the
other bids wore in , and I knew what the
nmounts of the bids were , and it was an out
rage to lot the contract to me. I wish to say
emphatically that all of these assertions are
untrue , and I can prove them so by papers
nnd other evidence. I nm not nn agent for
anyone , I never put in a bid unless I want
the work , and nothing that I have said or
Uono would warrant anyone iv.aUlng such
statements. My bid was the lowest , it was
put in August 18 , the day advertised to re
ceive bids , and was the only straight nnd
proper bid and plans put , in. My
plans show every piece of furniture ,
both fixed nnd movable , and samples of all
the movable furniture , also Iloor plans
of the different ofllces , showing location of
counters , desks , tables , etc. ; also giving
lists , descriptions nnd number of pieces of
everything figured for in each and every
room , and a total prlco for the whole work
complete.
The plans I submitted were made for me
by one of the best designers In this country.
They are entirely original in design , and
vrorb pronounced by competent Judges ( In
cluding one of the bidders ) to bo clepant nnd
llrst class. The samples of moveables
shown by Mr. Kierstoad were of the very
best and were suitable tor the purposes re
quired. All t.tio different city ofllcors were
lully consulted , and tbo location and number
of counters and other furniture were made
to conform as near as possible to their
wishes. The only bid I ever put In this
work was tlio original one given in to the
city clerk August IS , and I am informed was
the lowest bid by over $5,000. I furnished
the committee n price list of all articles In
my bid , and thny lixud the prices and re
ported the nmounts of bids to tlio council
after making such changes as they required ,
and J had nothing whatever to do with this
part of the work and was not consulted.
My hid for this furniture was the lowest.
I urn In that business nnd wanted the work.
I have n flr3t class plant and everything re
quired for making and doing this work , and
can turn out as line goods as any I Inn in
America. Over 75 per cent of the work would
bo done hero in Omaha if 1 had obtained the
contract. Yours respectfully ,
JOHN F. COOTS.

The Mayor's Views.
Mayor Gushing was asked today by < x re
porter for TUB BUE if he Intended to approve
the contract between the city council and the
Kotchum Furniture compauy for the city hall
furniture.
"I have not soon the contract , " said the
mayor. "I suppose it will not be presented
until uftor-lho bonds are voted or until
there are funds In the treasury to pay for tbo
furniture. I would not approve a contract
for the purchase of furniture for the city hall
now If it were presented for there Is no
money In the treasury that could lawfully be
used for that purpose. The council has had
no authority as yet to spend money for fur
niture for the city hull. It has no authority to
spend money In the construction of tbo city
ball , but the furniture is not n part of tbd
construction unless that furniture bo statu

IN TIIE JOUIITS.
linttlncss of the Fall Term Command
ing Judicial Attention.
The second day of the September term of
the district court opened under most favor
able circumstances and with plenty of work
in sight for nil of the seven judges.
Judge Estelle announced from the bench in
room J < o. 1 that bench warrants had bcon is
sued for all Jurors who were absent when the
list was called Tuesday. They had boon
placed In the hands of Sheriff Boyd , who had
cited them to appear this morning and
show ciiuso why they had fulled to appear.
Durinc the day Judge Hopowoll presided
over Judge Davis" room in The Boo building.
This was caused by the fact of Judge Davis
being absent from the city , holding u term of
court In Washington county.
Judge Irvine's room was unoccupied during
the du3' , und probably will continue to bodur-
me the uulanco of the week , as the Judge is
holding court in Burt county.
Judce Ferguson held a short session of court ,
during which time there was a peremptory
call of thodocket. Tomorrow morning ho will
bCRiu the trial of Jury causes. Tno lirst case
for trial will undoubtedly bo that of the Utah
National bank against Frazier & Burke , com
mission men of South Omaha. The suit
crows out of u shipment of cuttle that was
made moro than a year neo.
Judpc Wakeloy called the equity docket in
room No. I in The Ueo building und found
nearly ono hundred cases ready for trial.
After disposing of the docket ho handed
down decisions in a number of cases that
were argued last term.
In tlio case of A. W. Pennoclc against the
city of Omaha ana the county of Douglas ,
years ago when St. Mary's avenue was
paved , property on another street near the
uvotiuo that was paved was assessed to pay
for the Improvement's , The lota wont to tax
sulo aud Pennoclc was a purchaser. The
01 Iglnal owner brought suit to set aside the
sole. At the trial the court hold that the
property was not liable for the special assess
ment and tbo sale was sot aside. Pcnnock
theu sued tno city and county to recover his
money. In making up its findings the court
hold today that the county was not llabloas in
making tbo sale it simply acted as
the agent for tbo city. The city did
not attempt to warrant the title and merely
mndo the sate from the showing that was
made on the records. The plaintiff had the
record before him and the city made no
fraudulent representations. The suit wus
dismissed.
Jn tno case of II. A. Merrill against the
city of Omaha the issue was somewhat simi
lar as in the case mentioned above , and the
same finding was reached. Merrill had pur
chased ( it tax sulo the lot upon which the
Omaha Medical College ntanda. After ho
had made his payments ho discovered that
the statutes of the state exempted the prop
erty from taxation. Ho brought suit to 10-
cover the money pala. The court hold that
there was no cause of action. Plaintiff
should have known the luwand besides there
was no person who induced him to become a
purchaser of the lot in question or asked to
par his money for the certificate.
Tbo decision in the case of Moses Domin
eer against Charles II. Murplo and otuoi-4
was of moro than usual importance to real
estate owners. Bonslngcr was the owner of
half an aero lot.tbo other half being owned by
jMurpio. Bonslngor concluded to build nnd
saw Mnrplo with reference to paying half ut
n party wall. Both parties Jolnou In n oon-
tract , Bcnslngor went on with bis building
aim in tbo meantime Marplo sold his prop
erty , Uenslngcr demanded payment from
the subsequent purchaser , but was mot wlt.h
a refusal. McDonald , the purchaser of the
Murplo lot erected a building using the wall
that had boon paid for uy Uenslugor. Bon-
slngor then brought suit to recover under the
terms of his contract with Marplo. The
court hold that the agreement wont with thu
land and wus H contract with the subsequent
as well ua with the otlgtual owner.

Imnd through the great nrtcrios of the
nwnlicnlng city the throbbing pulsations of
( mother day's lifo of activity and bustle woi-o
beginning to bo Colt nml hoard. Along the
wldo tnoroughfnrcs the van guard of the
great nrmy of tellers was passing to the
scones of their daily labor , and the
breath of Industry's motive pover was be
ginning to pour In gradually Increasing vol
umes from the cavernous 'throats that had
rested sllont and qulcacoat through tlio hours
that the city slept.
H wasnnild these surroundings that Frank
Baldwin took his last look upon life and sped
upon Its fatal course the bullet tnat loft n
vacancy In the ranks of his fellow workers
and carHod sorrow and a scnso of desolation
to his parents' homo.
As others were hurrying nlon g to their fa
miliar Holds of toil this weary mortal nroso
from his troubled couch , passed quietly over
to that little oasis of nature in the heart of
the city known far and near as .lefTorson
square mid with surprising deliberation and
self-possession loosed his soul from its earthly
tenement and started it upon its pilgrimage
to the utiKtiown world.
The shot rang out sharp and clear and
startled the passers-by , but one or two of
whom had soon the revolver raised , and oven
those had scarcely time to roall/.o w'aut was
about to happen before the deed wus done.
Hurrying across the few Intervening feet ,
their surprise was changed to horror.
The man was dead. As the smolto from the
revolver curled lightly upward ho had fallen
across the arm of the rustic bench on which
ho hud seated himself , and after the borri-
Hod spectators re.ichod him ho never moved.
Tlio awful work had been well done.
Tno body was tenderly laid upon the bench
and the coroner and police ofilcials
summoned. By them it was ordered
removed to the undertaker's , yet long
after it was cone crowds collected about
the place looking witn fascinated pazo
upon the fatal spot and the little red pool
that silently but eloquently told ot what bad
happened.
The suicldo was omoloyed as night proof
reader on \Vorld-Hornld , and was n single
man Jki years ago. He had held this
position , with the exception of one or two
short intermissions , for the past live years ,
and was regarded as one of the host proof
readers along the river. The parents o'f the
deceased reside as Warronsburg , Mo. , where
his father owns and edits a paper.
For some time past , Baldwin's associates
natl noticed that ho was acting strangely ,
and ho hud intimated within the past few
days that ho would do something
desperate , yet none of his friends
realized that ho meditated suicide.
During the past few weeks ho hnd. been en
gaged In getting up a new "style card , " and
this hud apparently taken up his whole mind ,
as ho was frequently heard muttering to him
self about it , and wncn walking oiontr the
street with a friend would seem to forgot
that ho was not alone and would begin talk
ing to himself about it.
Baldwin roomed at 415 North Fifteenth
street with A. F. Wilson ; 11 compositor on thu
same papor. Yesterday morning when Wilson
reached homo at 4 o'clock Baldwin was
asleep , and when thu hitter arose shortly
after 7 o'clock Wilson did not hoar him.
Baldwin at once walked across to the park ,
sat down on a bench and without any delay
drew the revolver from his pocket and shot
himself.
Ho worked Monday night until 12 o'clock , ,
reauing the proof of his now card , His room
mate is positive that Baldwin bought the
gun within a day or two as up to that time
ho did not have our.
Baldwin bad not boon nddlnted to drink forever
over a year , but was an inveterate smoker of
cigarettes , wbich ho noticeably usoci to ex

Indeed , ho was rarely to bo seen when ho

lapse Is very generally attributed to this
fact.
