MR , WILSON ON THE TRAIL
Alleges Higrant Violations of tlio Oity'a
Bidowalk Ordinance.
HE'S AFTER THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
*
ly Oot nn Oiilnlon from tlio
City Attorney on H Cnno lit
1'olnt ntitl tloos to
the Miiyor.
The tnodicnl authorities nil aeroo that
whonn human head Is severed from the body
donth at once ensues , the hody nnd lltnba become -
como il id , tlio nerve power la lost and
speech bucoraos an impossibility. Omaha ,
however , has a ease that sots all of thmo
authorities at sc.i and proves thut even
moil I e * may bo mistaken.
Not many days nga John M. Wilson , who
was Inspector on permanent sldoivnlks , was
decapitated. Slnc'o that duto ho bm been
somewhat shudy. Saturday ho was located In
an olllco In the city hall , where ho was busily
unpaged over several columns of figures. By
these llizures ho ox peels soon to show to the
public that there Is considerable rottenness
about the Board of Public Works ofllco , and
ho promises. If ho has the co-operation
of the city nfllcluls , to smnuo a very largo
African out of tbo city wooilpllo.
"Of courbo you can't expect much ( rom a
rnan whoso head rents In an ofllclal b.tskrt of
the Board of Public Works , " said Mr. Wil
son , "but without pay or the hope of future
rowiird 1 shall continue to huut for oflloml
fraud * . "
Mr. Wilson then proceeded to oxnUIn what
ho had oxbuniod contornltiB the manner of
laving permanent sidewalks , and with the
showing which helms on hand lie expects to
furnish the public with nn oyu opener.
Caught Ono ( lontnictor.
Upon tbo subject of stone walks It Is a
wtll Known fact that the following snocill-
catlo'iB wore odoptod by the Board of Public
Works and approved by the council :
"Allstono snail bo at least three inches In
tbluUncss and laid upon six-Inch foundation
ol bank sand. The stones for walks four or
six foot wide shall extend the ontlrj width
of the walk and bo not less than thrco feat
in width. In no other walk shall the area
of any stone bo lass than twenty square feot.
Thn surface of all stones shall bo smooth and
evenly dressed to the satisfaction ol tlio
Board of Public Works and city engineer. "
Seine dnVs aero , xvhllo making his
"
rounds as ofllcial sidewalk inspector ,
Mr. Wilson discovered tnat Furnas &
Sons. the stone contractors , were
laying a permanent walk around
the Unity church lots at Seventeenth and
Cuss streets. In the performance of his
duty , bo examined the slono , ana found that
It was but two inches In thickness. Ho at
I once ordered all work stopped , as the stone
did not comply with the specifications , A
short llmo thereafter ho discovered that
work li.ul again been commenced , and that
stone not meeting tlio requirements of the
ordinance was being laid. Again ho ordered
tbo work discontinued , but the contractor
gave him the laugh , saying that ho had
authority from tbo city olllclala to do the
work.
Almost immediately Mr. Wilson's ofllcial
head was chopped off and rolled to one side.
P It wn - then that ho concluded that ho would
make 11 ton-strike and llnd out if the city laws
r could bo violated at will. Mr. Wilson had
the agency of some lots adjoining the Unity
church property , along which u walk had
been ordered. Thinking that It was a good
time to lay the walk , ho wrote tlio mayor Ibis
letter :
Corrcftpoiiitcnco on the Subject *
"Will you plcaso frlvo mo written authority
from the city attorney to lay two-Inch nat
ural stone sidewalk at the corner of Twenty-
llflh nnd Lnavonxvorth strnols and In front
of lots 1 , and it , block 43 , city. 1 am aware
thut it is contrary to the city ordinance ,
which provides that no nntnrnl slono less
than thrco inches in * hickno s shall bo laid
In hldcwulks , and that on August 'J'J ' and
again on August 'M , I , ns nermnncnt side
walk inspector , cave Messrs. Furnni &
Sans orders not to lay any stone of leas thnn
three incurs in thickness at lot -1. block -13 ,
I city , at tno corner of Seventeenth and Cass'
BtrsetP , and notwithstanding such orders ,
bv seine moans word \\as conveyed to
Messrs. Purlins & Sons by Deputy City En
gineer Grover to go ahead and lay two-inch
mono. Under such orders , delivered behind
my back , said walk bus been completed.
Now , your honor , 1 simply iwi : fair play and
desire written permission from your attor
ney , so that no inspector can como with
contrary order * to stop my laving a two-inch
t.mural stone sidewalk nt the above men
tioned lots. Some of tbo lots along which I
desire to lay the walk ndjoln the lots where
the two-Inch stmio has just been laid. "
Tlio letter was referred to ( Jity Attornov
Council , who quoted the law to Mr. Wilson
in this style :
"In response to your communication of the
: 1st lust. , referred to tuo by thti mayor , re
questing the wrllton opinion of the city at
torney authorizing you to lay a sidewalk of
natural stone two inches thick In front of
lots 1 , 2 nnd 8 , block 48 , I would say that 1
have no right to grunt you the authority to
lay such a walk. The spocllloations
on 11 lo in the oftlce of the Board
of Public \VorkH will specify the
thickness of the different Kinds or slrtowalks.
When a sidewalk is ordarcd oy resolution
the same can ho luld by 'the owner of the
properly only in nci-ordanco with the specifi
cations of the Board of Public Worits. If
such specifications require that natural stone
walks should bo thrco inches In thickness It
is a plain violation of the ordinances of tbo
city to lay walks with natural stone only two
inches in thickness. Any walk not laid in
accordance with the hpecillcattous on Illo in
the ofllco of tho- Board of Public Works can
bo regarded as u nuUanco , nnd w such re
moved by iho Hoard of Puhlio Works. This
was demonstrated several yoara ago by Mr.
James Uroighton , who was chairman -
man of iho Board of Publin
Works , causing tbo removal of a aide-
wnlk not In uccoi'Qunco ivltti tl.n stv < r > lt < nii.
lions of tlio board , wlilch was laid at tbo
northeast corner of Fnrnain and Twelfth
streets.
"If vou wish to avoid further trouble with
the Board of Public Work * , and doilro to lay
Bidowidks In the city of Omaha , I would ud-
vlso you to lay tbom in accordance with tbo
Bpcclllcatlona. 1 pruiutuo Mr. Birkhausor
\villbodlsposodto glvoyou a copy of tbo
BDcclllcations , "
Homo Olio Miitlu u Mo s of It.
It was rieht hero tbut Mr. Wilson got In
his worn. Ho had proven that some olllclnl ,
cither willfully or through Ignorance , hud
given iho contractors authority to violate the
city laws , und with this knowledge , to got
rcuuy for a Hunt nnd muko a test caio , ho
this morning sent the following communica
tion to tbo mayor :
"Herewith llnd the reply ot the city attor
ney to my request for permission to lay two-
Inch natural atone sidewalks , As ho domes
mo the right. to lay tbo tldowalk of two-inch
natural stone , I thurcforo ask vou ihnt the
two-Inch natural stone walk laid ut the cor
ner of Seventeenth und Cass strents bo re
garded a nulsanro , and as such bo removed
bytbu Board of Publlo Works. "
The mayor has not yet taken any stous In
the promises , but uo will , und ho promUos
ihnt the guilty parly will bo brought onto
Ibo carpel to luako some explanations ,

SEDAN'S FALL.
Onmfin Clortniitift Colclirnto tlio Great Vic
tory Wan by Von Moltko Over Napoleon.
Yesterday was n rcd-lottor day In the cal
endar of Iho Uormun people. It was the
, wenty-3ccond anniversary of the day that
S'apoleon III. surrendered to the Garrnan nr-
nles under Count Von Moltko , nt Sedan , and
lo the patriotic German spirit the story of
thai day is ouo of the proudest chapters in
their national history.
The Omaha Landwohorvereln celebrated
, ho occasion in a royal manner nt Huser's '
lark yesterday afternoon , nnd the ( Jormnn
ocoplo of the city turned out In full force to
witness the ccrtmo.iles. Uuser's park
s accessible by the carryalls that
olt and flounder through n soggv morass
called Center street , but notwithstanding
ho mud and tbo jolting the park was well
Hied with people by the middle of the aftor-
10011. Most of the picnicuers brought well
illed baskets with tbom and ate their oven-
ug meal under the tree * , so that they might
not miss any of the lestivilios. Thuro were
men tuero who well remembered the day
vhcn the French emperor owned the Gor-
nans conquerors and dozens of flaxen haired ,
) lnk cheeked babies who had never heard of
Sedan , out were bapoy in this ambient au-
umn air nnd aunshino.
IloirU , Untieing nnd Drilling.
It was late in the afternoon when the
exercises of the day were begun , but in tbo
noontime the picnickers were not lacking of
of amusements. An orchestra was iu nt-
ondnnco nnd the largo danclnc platform
, vns continually occupied nnd the bowling
alloys and shooting galleries were equally
well patronized. It is ono of the ooculluritios
of Kuser's park ihnt the visitor encounters near
oar at every turn. Thera uro half a dozen of
thorn scattered about the grove and the nn-
tlonnl'boverairo of the German nation was
present In sufliclont quantities lo slatto the
.lurst , of nil.
Thollrst _ event was the Infantry drill with
out arms , in which a company of twenty-
four participated , under Ibo command of
Captain Charles T. Boufller. Then came
the shooting contest , three shots onch , over a
200-yard range. Albert Altendorff won tint
honors and nn closrutit silver cigar stand ,
with a score of fourteen out of u possible
twenty-four. Fred Mittnncht nnd Adam
\Veinerl were Ho for second place , with
twelve each , nnd won a sllvor-plaied beer
mug and a wino sot respectively.
Then came the grand prize drill , in which
the whole company participated , and which
was followed by fencing contests with bay
onets and small t > wbrdi , in which prizes
were won by Fred Mlttnacht , and Adam
Weitiert.
Thoy.Jtpproiluceil smliin.
A % soon ns it began to grow dusk tbo
arums boat tlic general allurm and Iho forces
foil in line for Ibo grand event of Iho day , a
sham bnltlo m imitation of the battle of
Sedan. A mimic fort bad been erected to
represent the fortncss uud city where Na-
pulean gathered his farces for u final stand
against the ndvancing hosts of Ibo Ger
mans. Tbo role of the French emtieror
was undcrtatten by Mr. Charles Kuuf-
maun while Herman Busch person
ated the gallant Vou Moltko. Behind
Ibo fortress an Imaginary line , represented
the river Meusc , and Napoleon formed his
lines in u semi-clrclo around the city , with
either Hank resting on the river , wh'ich cut
off nil retreat. Tbo bugle sounded the
charge und the German forces moved
steadily down on the bolcagurcd army. At
the command both armies opened lire , und
their blank cartridges apparently did as
much execution as could be expected
from more olTectivo wctipons. MCA were
fulling hero and there and women wearing
Ibo red cross on their sleeves braved Iho
biilphurous discharges lo mlnUlor to Iho
woundoa , The German advance could not
bo chucked. In a moment it had penetrated
between the Ficnch army and the river and , ,
surrounded on all sides , Napoleon surren
dered.
Tbo battle had been depicted In
a strluingly realistic manner , and
when Napoleon waved llio wbito
ling of surron'der n simultaneous
cbcor wolTt up from a thousand throati. Then
n voice begun to sing " /DIo wacht am
Phein. " nnd it was cauuht , up oy the crowd
'
and sung enthusiastically to'tto end. Then
Napoleon formally presented' his sword lo
Cohut Von Moltko and Sedan with 85,000 men ,
thirty-nlno generals , " 30 n Ulcers of iho stuff
nnd'-,100 subalterns had passed into the
hands of the victorious Germans. The shat
tered forces assembled for Ibo final dross
parade and prize iriving wbllo the victory
was celebrated in a blaze of rod lire ,

The prizes were awarded by Iho ladios'
committee , ana besides Iho winners of the

OMAHA , Sopt. 1. To tbo Editor of THE
BBI : : I have Just road the inturvhuv with
Commissioner Stunberg , published In your
paper , ns to the method of repairing block
pavement with macadam in Chicago. It Is
certainly a mailer of great inrportanco , und ,
if adopted In this city , will save thousands
of doliuM to property owners. Eyorywhoro"
ccuar block pavements uro showing evi
dences ot decay. It taken In time
this can bo materially remedied
at a prontamIng by the use ot
macadam. Furthermore , macad an run ices n
smoo ! her nnd tnnrrn nlcasant pavomant than
any wo have hero except nsplmltum , I hope
the council , Doanliof Pdblln Works nnd iltl-
zons will take thlseimaltar in hand at the
earliest posslolcn moment. There is no ono
thing that will Iri.tho near fuluro DO heavily
burden our pooplcowlth t xos as to entirely
pave anew OUTM man ) Creels where cedar
block is now giving out. It would bo worse
than uaelcis to ropnlr a siroot with cypress
block , that being the most consummate
fraud ever tnipasou on any community us a
paving material.
In reference toe the county roods contem
plated anil sookmuof bv Commissioner Ston-
borg , if our soil i is adapted to it nothing
bettor could ba selected than macadam , and
nothing would make n batter roadway If
proparly built nnd kept in repair. The
national turnnlne , the urandeat hiirhwny In
this country , Is a macadam road nnd has
been nn Inestimable blessing lo all the coun
try tbrough which It passes. Grout
care was always taken , however , to
keep It In proper repair. For that
purpoio pllos of broken stone were con
stantly kept at short iniorvals along the line ,
and iho slightest break was put in order
without delay. Purnaui street , n few years
ago , was n sad example of neglected ninc-
ntlnm. Had that pavomout boon repaired
from tlmo to time as it ncodod It , iho street
would today bo in a more satisfactory condi
tion than It Is.
Ono thing Is certain , If the county commis
sioners do not msko ample provisions fnr
maintaining thd contemplated roadways , uo
matter of what material they nro construct
ed , it would be fur bettor for thorn to leave
tbo country roads as they now ore.
