The event of tno morning having passedtiio boons , papers and otiiurdocuments wcio turned over to Judge Ellor and ox- JudgoShlelds won tout to resume the prac tice of law. There was no change in the clerical force of the ofllco. Clerk SueKett and Ills Deputy. F. J. Sackutt , county clerk , was nn enily arrival. Ho had John J. Jeninn\ with him" , and without knocking tlioy entered ex- County Cleric O'.Mallcy's ollico where they eon had possession. Mr. Jcnhins was dulv nstaUed as deputy , while Pete O'Malley , J. C.

Ladv anil George Antbos. All of the man went behind the rail of the oftlco. II. B. Irev nnd Mr. Snyder shook blinds , after which tlio latter named gentle man turned over the combination of tbo safo. the books and $50,1100 In cash. The balance of the moncv will bo transferred ns soon as Mr. Snyder can check up the books. Bryant was installed as deputy , (3. G. Iroy as book keeper , Lady as clerk and Antho's as collet- tor.

At 0 o'clock ex-Sheriff Boyd turned over everything about tno ofllco to bis successor , with the exception ot the rope which was used at the execution of Ed Noal.

Ex.County Superintendent Mnthows sur rendered possession to Superintendent Hill , who took charge of the ofllca and at ouco got down to business. Change In the Coroner' * Ofllcc. Coroner Maul stopped into his new ofllco nt midnight , although he didn't Happen to roallo It until ho was awakened bv n telephone - phone call this morning , mid an unknown person demanded to know if the coroner was In. The coroner was about to say that ho Old not live there when ho happened to think that it wus January 7 , nnd changed his mind , The call was a notification of the death of Occor Oloson. nnd tbo coroner hustled out to cratber up tbo papers and blanks that wera in tbo hands of ox-Coronor Harrlgau. And right there was another surprise for blm. Mr. Hnrrlgan bad a stock ot blanks of all kinds imaginable as big us a .small house , but bu bud departed from the custom of his predecessors and had his numu piintod on every ono of them , so that tbo entire batch was useless unless the now coroner was will ing to dotomo scratching nnd write his own name above. The blanks that hnd formerly road "At nu Inquisition hok'on before mo , , coroner of Douglas couutv , this day of , 18 , " ino name of O. P. Harrlgon appeared In big , black-faced typo In the place where former coroners had been sntUllcd to wrlto tholr names. On blanks where there was no occasion for anything of the kind , or wbeia it was absolutely Impossible to bavo his namu printed In the body of the blank , Mr , Harrigun bad taken delight in liavintr It prltitod on the margin In big letters that a blltid man could tuivo deciphered at a dls tanco of throe blocks. Several hundred blanks tbat were printed at Quito a respectable cost are thus rendered useless by reason ot the egotism of tlio ox- coroner. but for which they would bavo lasted through tbo term of the present in cumbent and several others.

ALL OVER A WABBANT. lte.il I.'state Ounets Assoelatlou Promises Trouble for Mr. O'Miiltcy. County Clerk O'Malloy is no more , but his memory bids fair to flourish as n howe chestnut tree , and because of it Citizen O'Malloy ' and his bondsmen will oxporlonco trouble to the extent of a bushel or two before fore tbo affairs of the county clerk's ofllco are adjusted to the entire satisfaction of the reform administration. The pending causa for grief dovolopcJ last evening when County Clerk Sackott discov ered a leaf In tba warrant stub book on whlcti was the Infqrmatlon In black and white thata warrant in favor of tbo Ne braska Tribune for81,2C2.7t for printing tbo delinquent tnx list had bcon drawn and as signed to County Treasurer Snyder , and Mr. Suydcr's receipt for the satno was attached. Now this same claim , togolher with tnat of tbo Pokrok Zanidu for a llko amount for similar services , was allowed last week by the Board of County Commissioners after considerable discussion and opposition. The law provides that the warrant must bo helu for ton days to admit of appeal on the part of auy citizen so disposed , nnd this limit does not expire until today. Tboroforo the war rant was issued contrary to law and that is why , Mr , O'Mallov's ' bondsmen are now tbrcatcned with a llttlo touch ot financial un pleasantness. Another tning that appears to bo a little oft color on the surfuco Is tbo fact that the date is January 7. The Heal Estate Owners association has taken hold of the matter and It Is proposed to make Air. O'Malloy's bondsmen sea tbat tbo warrant is returned or surrender tbo amount of it in cold cash. Mr. Paul Harbaugh , in behalf of the association filed the appeal notice last evening , the effect of which will bo to restrain the commissioners and clerk from carrvlixr out their nrovlnnslv nvnivad Intentions. A cluso examination of tbo records showed that the claims were allowed December ; ) ! , which would prevent the Is suance of the warrants for several days yet , but this date was afterward changed to DC- camber''S , which made the limit for appeal last night , and this explains the issuance of the warrant. The Pokrok Zapadu warrant is still tboro , which gives additional color to the belief tnat there was u particular iciisou for the baste in getting tbo Tribune's Claim iuto the hands of Mr. Snyder.

Under those circumstances no valid taU can be assessed against abutting prop erty for cost of the work. I see no course open except to pay the bill out of the general fund.

" Mr. O'Kceffo wiped several largo tears frcm bis oycs and continued : "I may have madc'iniiny mistakes while acting In my ofli- cial capacity , but they are not mistakes of tno heart , nor weio they willful. I have al ways tried to do riu-ht , nnd take much pride in having watched the progress of Omaha and Douglas county. I voted for the ordi nance ordering the llrst pavement that , was laid in this city ; I voted for the construction of the court house and the county hospital ; I havu helnod to give Douglas county good roads , and have also helped to construct good substantial sewers in place of the old system of wood culverts. "It is true that I have differed with tbo members of the board in times past , and if there had been no differences it would bavo looked like n steal. "I am glad tbat a grand Jury Is about to bo called. I hope that only good businessmen mon will l3e selected and it is my wish that that bodv look into all offenses committed against the city and county. I hope that no man will bo screened nnd 1 also hope that no innocent ono will bo punished Or prosecuted. "I want to again thank you for this beauti ful watch. It shall remain in my possession while I Itvo and when I dlo it shall bo handed down as"a token of roiriombranoo from the men whom I see about mo today. " Last Nlght'ii KesHlon.
