bolriK carrlod on In the council chain her.
lluforo the council adjourned Tuesday night
h resolution was odoptod by nn almost tinanl-
pious vote giving Messrs. ChalToo
and McLaano , the minority of the
committed appointed * to Investigate
the boodle cluir oi preferred In the
city hall furniture deal , two weeks' tlmo In
winch to prepare and submit Its report. It
being understood that Chairman Tuttle and
Wci.irs. ( Joopor and OsthofT would submit a
majority report , to the oIToct that the charges
wire without foundation. At that meeting
JMr , ClmfTce announced that ho would lenvo
the city yesterday and would not bo able to
j > as upon the papers until his return.
During thi ) atternoon n call for n special
meeting V.MS issued and signed by several of
the members calling for a special meet
ing last night. These who did not
Bign the cull would liavo known
nothing about the meeting , had they not road
the notice In Tin : EVCNIMI UKB. It so lino-
jieuod that when the 'meeting was called to
order , Messrs. Blutncr , Durillsti , ChatTco ,
Cooper , ( Jonway , Davis , Elaassor , Miulsen ,
MeLourlo , Moroarty , Ostholl and 1'resldout
Lovvry were uiusont.
Ijcd ibr the Fmo. ;
Mr. OsthofT was the Mrst spcnifor. IIo
jiKveil that the council go Into committee of
the whole nnd that the evidence In the furul-
tuto boodle eusu bo read.
President Lowry hud some doubts about
the motion being In order. The papers
were In the hands of the committee and ho
did not think the case could bo considered
until a report had been submitted to tbo
council.
Mr. OsthofT replied that ho had the papers
nnd was ready to report. Suiting the action
to the word , ho started toward tha clerk's
desk , bearing the papers and the majority
report.
The motion to go Into committee of the
Whole was never put to the house , as Mr.
Moronrty saw u chance to slip In a wcdgo
nnd lit once moved that the motion by which
the minority of the committee was given a
week's tlmo in which to report bo rescinded.
Ttiot brought on any amount of rodhot oratory
tory , with Air. Conway loading off. Ho said
that Mr. UtialTeo had boon trying to do some
fniniv work. Mr. ( Jlmffee , ho said , tind stated
that lie was going out of the city. He had
Jiot gone , nnd the indications were that ho
wanted to keep the public looking at some
counullmcii , thinking that they were thieves
nnd rascals.
Mr. Davis charged bad mlth. When ho
plgned the call ho supposed the mooting was
for the purpose of transacting business , and
not taking A snap judgment with barely a
quorum present. It was a fair and honest
undcrstu'ni'.lng that the matter was to go
over for two wool's , and no did not propose
to bo a party to the proposed whitewash.
The minority of the committee had not boon
Riven an opportunity of seeing the papers ,
nnd to adopt the majority report inoaut no
vindication of any person.
Forcing the Fight.
"Koconsider and adopt tha majority report
It you want to , gentlemen , " said Mr. Davis.
"You have the votus , but I ask you , can you
nfford to do this I Can you afford to have the
Information go to the public that after spend
ing woolts In taking testimony you have rail
roaded the verdlctl"
Mr. ChufTeo remarked that a largo number
of tha members ot the council had bson men
tioned In connection with the Investigation ,
nnd ho doubted If they could nfford to have
whitewash spread over the whole matter.
Mr Ostholf replied that there was no In
tention upon his" part of whitewashing an ?
person or rallro.idlnir any report. The mi
nority should have boeti ready with Its re-
port.
Air. Chnffeo , In answering , said that ho had
been unable to obtain the papers In order to
make a report.
Mr. Davis stated that It was in the Inter
est of the count-Union who had been charged
with guilt and found innocent that ho wanted
the minority to have tlmo in which to nuUco
Its report.
Mr. Moroarty felt that the remark had
touched his honor and integrity and Informed
the council that ho feared nothing that had
appeared In evidence. Thrcn members of the
committee- hud found tlmo to make up a
majority report nud ho saw no reason wtiy
two could not have done likewise. The
trouble was the two members had not soon
lit lo perform the duty tuat had been as
signed to them.
Mr. Elsussor said that after the action
taken Tuesday night , the granting Mr.
Chuffeo two weoks' tlmo , bo could r.ovor vote
to reconsider the voto. Ho thought that
each member should have the testimony for
nt least twenty-four hours , but It was evi
dent that Mr. CtialTee hud never had the tes
timony In his hands.
KlsaHHci-'H Cross Counter.
"Look at this , " ho said , "if wo go on nud
ndopt the majority report , twenty years
licnuo mon will look bacic und say : 'In nn
investigation nold there wore two morabors
of that committee said the men wore not
cleared of the charge.1
"No , sir ; at this tlmo I will not vote for
the majority report. "
Mr. Clinlfco explained why ho had ro-
mulncd in the city. It was simply n business
matter , but ho would leave today and bo ab
sent ton days or two weeln.
Mr. MoUoario explained some thlnes that
happened In the committee room. Mr. Cliaf-
fee nad asked for the ovldonco , but hod boon
refused. The minority of the committee had
not been allowed to see the testimony.
Chairman Tuttle had made n report , but it
was not In accordance with the evidence ,
nor with the facts. The report uld not , suit
Mr. MoLcarlo , whoso informed Mr. Tuttle ,
who made another report. That one , like the
the Ilrst , was not based upon the evidence
submitted. In fact it did not touch upon the
matters testified to , and to ndopt it would bo
making n farce , the biggest kind of a farce ,
of the whole affair. That was not what the
people wanted.
President Lowry walked down upon thu
Jloor of the house nnd spoke a few words
that had a sulphuric ring while Mr. Cooper
hold the chnlr.
Short Arm Work by Ijiwry.
There wore members before him who took
the oath ot ofllco. They had solemnly sworn
to bo true to their constituents , honest und
fair with nil men. Those sumo man , or at
least ono of them , had been upon the witness
Rtaml and had there testified that Colonel
lieoiuer , the nuont ot the Andrews company ,
had told him that ho could have f500 If ho
would vote so and so.
"Now , centlomon , " continued the presi
dent , "that councilman cither lied when ho
took his oath of olllco , else ho did when ho
wont upon the witness stand.
"Thoro In moro to this , " and the prosl-
dent pointed his linger lit Mr. Ulumor.
The man I refer to locked the secret of the
attempted bribe in his breast and allowed
Jlvo or six of us to vote for the Chicago ron-
corn. Again I say the man lied when ho
took his oath of oflk-o , else bo Hod when tie
wont upon the witness stand , "
Mr , Lowry wan not in favor ot railroading
anything , but , the farce the il d farce , ho
said had gene far enough. Ho saw but ono
way out , and that was for Mr. Davis to take
Mr. ChalfcQ'.s place on the committee. Tbo
whole Investigation , ho opined , was a politi
cal sobomo from bogiuulng to em ) . It there
was any crookedness , It was upon the
part of the homo people , and 0110
member who baa peddled figures upon
the streets. Ho did not thluk any money had
boon used In securing votes , but had ho
known what ho learned later on ho would
have voted for the Kotoham company.
Mr , Hnykcu , 10 Mr. Lowry said , Uad told
him that a man on Tut : HUB , a reporter , had
wanted to interest himself In the matter and
had wanted to got on the insido.
lUiimcr Over the llonoa.
Air. ChafTco did not want to shield any
man , nor did ho consider the investigation a
farce. It was too Important a matter to treat
to a coat of whitewash. The tlmo had come
when councilman should protect themselves.
It had reached a point when old men nnd
women , children and girls upon the street
loouod upon councilman tis boodlcrs. This
was largely duo to the fact that an nttompt
was made to whitewash every Investigation.
Mr. Ostboff asked If Mr. Davis would servo
in Mr. ChafToo'ii stead and report tonight.
Mr , Hlumor stated that ho had listened to
considerable discussion and fancied that
some of the talk was Intended for film.
Mr. Davis replied that possibly it was.
JJlutncr ( mil sat silently by nnd had allowed
mon to vote for the Andrews contract with
out notifying them that Colonel Hoomor was
around with a bribe. Mr. Davis denied that
the Investigation was a political scheme.
There hud been no politics In It. It was
follv , ho said , to talk about meeting tonight ,
as the evidence could not bo read In ono day.
"Tako until Saturday night , then , " re
marked Mr. Moroarty.
After mat Mr. Moroarty showed a disposi
tion to become angry. Ha sntd that Mr.
ChalTce had bulldozed the council nnd it
must stop. Ho would submit to It no longer.
Last night nftor the council had ad
journed. Mr. ChafTco , so Mr. Moroarty
said , had danced the Highland fling. Things
had reached n pass when ho must servo ergot
got out.
Mr. Chaffeo denied that ho had danced ,
and was preparing to replv to Mr. Morearly
When the president called both mon to order.
Knockout Blow Administered.
'J'ho vote was then taken on reconsidering
the granting of two weeks' time , and was as
follows :
/eas Dlumor , Hurdlsh , Cooper , Conway ,
Klsasser , Madscn , Morcarty , Ostholf , and
Mr. President U.
Nays Chalice , Davis and McLoarlo 3.
Having won n point , Mr. Ostholl moved to
adopt the majority report.
Mr. Klsasser objected. It was uot the
proper course to pursue.
"Let them go on , " quietly remarked Mr.
Chnfteo.
"No they cannot , " responded Mr. Elsassor.
"This looks too much llko railroading , nnd I
am In favor of giving the minority members
time. If this report is adopted it does not
clear up anything. "
Mr. Uluiner wanted the report to go over
until Tuesday night.
Mr. Cooper said that ho was through with
the tomfoolery. Ho wanted to do something
or quit. IIo did not llko tbo Idea of mon
going around bidding for money.
Mr. GlmlTeo asked if the report said any
thing about any men receiving or offering to
receive bribes. Ho wanted the report to
show the facts , anil tnon ho wanted
to see a grand jury take up the matter and
Indict the bribe takers as well as the bribe
givers.
Mr. Conway grow wrathy and arose upon
his foot. Ho know that Mr. CtmlTeo's re
marks were aimed at him. Said ho : "If any
man had offered mo money I would have told
the council. "
"Of course you would , " answered Mr.
ChnfToe.
"Shut your mouth , " commanded Mr. Con-
way.
Again the president begged of the mom *
bets not to become personal.
Mr. OsthofI asked Mr. Davis If ho would
servo In Mr. ChalTeo's place on the committee
and report Saturday night.
Mr. Davis icimirked that bo had nothlngto
sav. Ho usually performed his duty.
The motion to substitute M. Davis on the
committee prevailed and Mr. Osthoft with
drew his motion to accept the majority ro-
port.Tho
The clerk was instructed to turn the papers
over to Mr. Davis , and o very body went homo
to wait for the fun that is coming Saturday
night.

Sovornl Lives Sacrificed by n Mnii in a
l'it of i'asslon.
BBKXK , Dee , 2. A terrible accident hap
pened yesterday owing to the uncontrollable
passion of a man who so allowed his temper
to overmaster him that be became a veritable
maniac and wilfully sacrificed iho lives of
two of his follow workmen and a number of
other persons. The uows of thn startling af
fair , as received here , is to the effect that an
engineer employed on the railway line run
ning between Aargau , a canton of Switzer
land , and Wnldshut , a town of Baden , on the
Rhine , had committed sorno infraction of the
rules of the road and , after an examination
into the matter by the ofllcials of the com
pany , ho was notified of his dismissal from
the service.
When informed of the action of his super
iors the engineer became infuriated. Watch
ing for a favorable opportunity , tha engineer
entered the cab of a locomotive and opening
the throttle ot the engine as wldo as possi
ble , he Jumped from the cab and let the loco
motive dash down the track at full speed ,
Just as a train loaded with passengers ciirne
rushing from tbo opposite direction on the
same trarlc.
The runaway wild locomotive and the loco
motive of the passcngor train plunged into
each othorwith awful force , both engines being
entirely wrecked and filling tbo track with a
mass of dobrls.
The engineer am ? fireman of the passenger
train had no warning of iho terrible fate in
store for thorn and were only uwaro of their
great danger when too late to make any ef
fort to save tholr lives. Both mon wore
caught in the wrecks of the engines and were
Instantly killedtheir bodies being frightfully
crushed nnd mangled.
The passengers on the train were flung la
all directions by tuo terrible shook of the
collision. Throe of them were fatally Injured
nnd nearly all were bruised by the collision.
Tlie greatest excitement was caused by the
accident.

LINCOLN , Nob. , Doc. 2. [ Special to Tun
BHK. ] The regular monthly session ot the
State Board of Transportutlou was huld this
afternoon , all of the members of tha board
being present with the excoptlon of Auditor
Conton , who had boon called out of the city
by olllclal business connected with hU de
partment. State Treasurer Hill presided
over the deliberations of the meeting.
The first matter taken up was the case of
Mr. Johnson , the furniture dealer of Norlollc ,
who at two former meetings ot the ooard
had made complaints of discriminations. The
case was discussed somownat informally but
110 dollnito actlou was taken.
Secretary Dllworth stated that he had
boon Informnd that after looking into the
mutter moro carefully Mr. Johnson had come
to the conclusion that his business at
Norfolk was not affected so much
by the local rates as by the through
rates from Chicago. What Mr. Johnson
evidently wanted now was for the State
Board of Transportation to carry his case
before the lutoratato Commerce commission.
Mr. Dllworth thought that the board could
not go before the in tors Into commission , but
time the proper procedure would bo for Mr.
Johnson to bring an action bolero the Inter
state Uommoiro commission on the grounds
that Norfolk was being discriminated against
In favor of some other particular locality.
Secretary Johnson was of the opinion that
if any attorcpt was made to establish u rate
In Nebraska the rates In other states would
bo affected , and that In the long run the com
plaining party would not bo bonotiicd. Ho
stated th.it the railroads scorned disposed to
do the fair thing in the matter nnd that even
tually the case would bo satisfactorily ad
justed.
After some further discussion it
developed that , the unanimous sentiment of
the board was in favor of the secretaries
making a regular lindlng In the cuse and
thus bring the matter definitely nnd oftlclally
before the board. The matter was then
dropped with this understanding.
The reports of the grain inspectors nt
Omaha nnd Lincoln were road by Secretary
Koontz , out as both reports were inuomplclo
for the roas'jn that thu end of tbo month
cauin at the close of business Monday nlirht
and that the inspectors ami weighmastcrs
had not had ttmo In the ono day tnat Imu
olansed between the ond'Of the month and
the meeting of thy board toilav to complete
thorn , the matter went ovef- until the next
nicotine.
After a general discussion of the operations
of the Inspection department , iho board ad
journed ,
Grain Inspection nt OmiUin.
Although the reports of the grain Inspec
tion department at Omaha were uot in ado a
part of the ofllelal proceedings of the mooting
of the State Hoard of Transportation this
aftorunon , Secretary KoonuguvotoTiiB Uii :
representative some Interesting figures con
cerning the work. From September 15 to
November 90 , inclusive , thu department at
Omaha weighed -1,00 $ cara of grain , The
receipts were $724.50. Expenses to thu
amount of $7S.2o bad boon paid , and bills
still duo and unpaid amount to I'M. Tbo
total cxponso for salaries for the time was
(1,007.50 , of which amount ( OI0.2R had boon
paid , leaving a halanco duo to olUcors and
employes of # 391.25.
Tuo receipts of the present month will not
only pay oil salaries und running expenses ,
but they will also wlpo out all ouutandliig
Indebtedness , and after this month thu da-
partmont at Omaha will bo moru than self-
sustaining.
