LIXCOI.X , Nob. , OcU 1. iSpocial to THE
J5ii : . | Another contest in the city count-Ills
imminent and It Is likely that tbo celebrated
struggle over tbo Hock Island ordinance will
b : eclipsed. Several weeks ago H. S. Berlin
of Omaha submitted lo the council a proposi
tion to establish and maintain a garbage
crematory In this city providing the council
would give the company ho represented a
monopoly of the business of removing and
burning garbage for a term of years. When
the proposition was llrsi read In tbo round'
ell U was greeted with considerable
levity and a motion to Indefinitely postpone
It narrowly escaped pisslne. Finally at the
caracst request of Councilman Bocbmcr ll
was referred to the health cammltleo und the
city attorney. Nothing was heard of It for
two weeks nnd then iho cotntnlilce to which
the proposition bud been referred made a
favorable report , much to the surprise of the
other member : . Tbo surprise was still
greater wheiti n mnjorlty voted to uccept ttio
report and Instruct the city attorney to draw
up the proper ordinance to cair.v Ilia proposi
tion Into effect. Thu action of tha ccunci
has rohed a storm of protest from a i > rent
many citizens.
The proposition gives the company , whlcn
Is slyled U. S. Berlin & Co. , a monopoly of
thu business for the term of ton years. Thp
council Is required to puss oiUinaucos comw
pelting every cltlzsn to collect , and place In
convenient rcccptuclca all the garbage of any
kind tlml accumulates on his premises , and
have It removed by tbo company nt Icnsl
once n wt-ok or oflencr. A schedule of
prices is attached to the proposition and no
ono but the employes of the company will bo
allowed to collect and dispose of the garnago
of the city. Thu city Is given thu right to
Purchase the entire plant at thu und of ten
yt-nrs , but If the city fails to purchase the
plant al the end ot ibat lima tbo council is
bound by the conlracl to renew It for Iho
further period of ten years.
Among the objections urged against Ibo
proposition are that it gives u foreign comtl
pauv a monopoly on tbu business , that iho
rates nro excessive and lhal the schedule of
prices Is susenptlulo of ton many changes to
EUll the convor.icuco of the com puny. No
ono denies thu merits of the plan of burnc
ing earoaCP , bul ll Is inMsicd on all sides
that If such u contract Is lot at all ll shouldtl
be let to a homo company. Thcic promises
to bo a merry light over the mailer eoforo Il
ls finally decided. The ordinance .sexpected
to come up for the first tltnu nt the mealing
of the council next Tuesday evening.
ItobliiMt on the Capitol < ! rotimls.
A sensational highway robbery took place
on thu erounils surrounding the stale capitol
i. last night botwdcn the hours of 10 und 11
IV o'clock , but Hi thu mutter was not reported
to thy polled It was not knotvn until this
morning. The story Is best told oy J. P.
Sblpman , nn O strcut butchur. Mr. bhipc
mini was on his way home from tils place of
business , anil In order to shorten tbo
distance ho walked through the capital
grounds. Just as ho entered the grounds ne
heard a woman scream loudly for help. Run
ning In the direction from which the .screams
came bo saw a man struggling withanct.ro.
The negro took lo his heels und after pursun
lug him for some distance Mr. Shtptrau returned -
turned to learn Ibo story of thu fight. It
scums that the man who hud been struggling
with the negro had entered iho grounds
with tbo ludy and Ihu couple hud seated
themselves on tha grass to on
joy the moonlight. Suddenly tbo
no * ro appeared on the scona nnd demanded
oil tbo money the man bad with him. As
the nocro was armed with a lormldublu
looking roctc , the demad : was Instantly
complied wilh. Tbo footpad secured less
thai : a dollar , and incensed by the smal ;
amount of the booty he struck Iho man In
the face with the rock and endeavored lo
take his waU-h. Mr. Shiptnan's appearance ,
caused him to bent a has L.V retreat. The
man mid woman declined to give their
names for obvious reasons.
The stale cupitol grounds bavo long been
tbo favorite loufing place ot a score or moro
01 individuals whosei appearance is not rcat-
luring , lo say iko least. Tbo haudsomo
grounds are ulso visited by u greut many res
pectable people during Ibe heated trm. The
Board ot Public

sidering the advisability of appointing nhi

A Word for Ilin Chords ( ilrU.
Manv loiters have appeared of lale In tbo
newspapers denouncing theatrical managers
tor Ibelr failure to cumueusato Ihit choruses
in Iho various operatic productions during
their long rehearsals before the theaters
open. It Is declared that the present custom
Is tlio Direct causa of immorality among tbo
chorus girls. Their position Is buch that
tuoy are particularly susceptible lo tempta
tion , and the miimijtiriil custom of com
pelling them to subsist by uicir wits fur
from rlx to eight wukj al a stretch
renders many of them easy victims io Ihe
man aboul town , who look upon them as
luL'ilnnalo proy. Tbo writers of the leliors
contend that if the chorus clrls were paid rsa
reasonable ) percentage of tbu salaries they
draw wbon tbo operas are presented It would
prevent many of them from falling , through
starvation , into the hands of men with
money , who continually nook to debasu such
girls In the choruses and to start them In eha
career of degradation.

wlliinely do any clti7.cn of Omaha a wanton
Injury , Iljog leave to set before you my posl-
lion in this runner.
True It Is that this controversy was
brought about by a letter from George P.
Bomls , mayor of the citv of Omahn. to the
city council , lu which ho charged mo with
being derelict in lily duty as superintendent ,
Incompetent as an architect , and bv infer
ence dlf hone.n In my personal character.
All that 1 have lu this world Is my reputa
tion as an architect and my personal Integ
rity , If these nro Impugned by any one , my
success In llfo is doomed ; they nro "therefore
my dearest poscssion anu must bant all times
carefully guarded by mo.
enm It is also true that in renly to this com
munication to the city council I addressed a
lotler to the same body In which I called In
eiueslion the s'.ni-erl'.y of the mavor and im
pugned his motives. Doc * the fact thiit thU
man Is mayor of the city of Omaha place him
otPI a pedestal so high that ho can wltn im
punity strike al the honor , reputation and
respectability of a fellow citizen , ami luut
citizen not bo allowed to question the truth
fulness ot bis statements nor the purity of
the motives which have caused these state
ments to bo madol Do 1 correctlv under
stand you , sir , to mean bv the language of
tlcl editorial ibat when "tho mayor of this
city makes such an attack on mo and I know
that 1 can prove bis statements to bu untrue ,
mid believe myself most sincerely that his
actions are prompted , not by bis sense of
duty to the city or bv the warm interest
which ho Is to auxlous to bo thought lo take
icw tbu interests of the taxpayers , but by a
wanton prejudice ami unnatural mallco
toward mo personally , that I may not In mv
written and spoken commitnlcatlons give
ulterancp to that which I bellevo to bo uu-
qui.lltlcdly truol You
q cannot lend your
support lo a proposition so unjust ,
I wish now. sir. to stale most positively
nnd emphatically lhal 1 am rjadv and will
ing at all times to meet any char'ucs of any
kind I or nature whatsoever which
anv ono
may bring against tno In . any work thut I
have ever done. 1 do not claim to bo intalll-
bio , nor do I claim that the city hall is an
absolutely perfect building , or thai It could
not b3 improved upon. 1 am oven williac to
admit ibat I could myself Improve upon It.
But I do deny that there uro plarinu defects
lid thj building , nnd moro especially do I
deny that the citv has l-uen to any expense
on account of blunders made by me in its
construction , because there have been uo
such blunders made.
And I also wish to deny-most emphatically
that I have at any tima Jcvoted $1 to bribery
or corruption. No councilman bus been paid
? 1 nor 1 cent nor any other sum by mo nor by
anyone for me. cither directly or' indirectly ,
to influence his action or role.
And I also deny that. I e\vcr at any tlrao
subscribed any money , either ilirectlf or in-
dlrccllr , personally or through othcrs"fortho
purpose of clofcatlntrtQO rofiubHciln candi
date for mayor , Mr. Lininger , or the election
of his rival , Mr. Cushlng. My solo offense In
subscribing money for election purposes , if
11I your eyes it ba an offense , was the fact
thut before that clecticn I subscribed $10 to
the fuud of the republican city central com
mittee- .
Tbo city-nail has been under course of
constiuclion during tnreo successive admiu-
istrations , all of which administrations have
beea headed by a different maror and have
had different councils
and different accountIng -
Ing officers , and not uritll this last ad
ministration " nave there been any complaints
made by" any ono as to my actions In this mut
ter.
1 am ready at any nna nil times , and have
been ready at any und all umos horetoforo.to
meet my accusers In tba tribunals of their
own choosing. I bavo raado uo objections to
the actions of the mayor and city attorney as
to their course bc'foro tbo cornmiuce.
Though no specific charges were made bv
the mayor and ho introduced no evi
dence upon his own part to prove them ,
1 old not object to going upon the witness
stand nnd being sworn , nor did I object to
tha course of the
city atlorney in cross-
examining me in order to provo'tbo charges
that tha mayor , either personally or as
mayor , was too cowardly to father himself
or io make specific , but which hu couched In
ambiguous terms and
exprcsslv stated were
madu upon street rumor and information and
nnt upon any facts thai had come to him
throuirh Investigation.
It. Is within the power of the mayor to
employ experts to cxamiuo this building nnd
tha plans from which it was constructed.
The plans bavo been nn record and are now
on record In tbo ofllce of the comptroller
in the city of Omaha subject to the
Inspsctlon.of nlltho world. It ia within Iho
power of the mayor to cither publish tbo
facts as these experts find then , or to bring
these experts before the committee , and
from their evidence and that which I will ba
noloto produce the committee ami the pub
lic can I'.utcrmino tbo tacts in the case. This
rational and reasonable ) course , which you
vourself suggest In your editorial , tha mayor
has not soon 111 lo adopt. Hu has brought
Indefinite rlmrges founded upon rumor and
sacks to prove them not , by uvidenco of ex
perts who tmo examined this work , but by
stump speeches made by himself on the wit
ness stand und by cross-examining ma , I
Interpose no objection , however to this
course of proceeding , nor will I Interpose any
objcnUon to any method that thu committee ,
or , us the city attorney has threatened , the
courts may take to discover the truth in this
mitter. I simply clto this action on the pan
of tno mayor as one of the incidents which :
trove gone far to establishing my ballot that
bnls actiug utidcrthoinlluenco , liotof his con
victions us to bis duty as the mayor nDf
Omaha , put because George P. Bcrols is
moved bv uialico nnd prcjulro against mo ,
I am perfectly willing to meat the charges
of the mayor or the city. No course on his
part could please mo better than to have him
commence legal proceadmgs against mo lu
oraor that before u perfectlv fair and impar 1J
tial tribunal , whoso inctlvfts neither tbo
mayor or any other cllUeii , could question , I
might meet and completely reluio the un
truthful and damnable insinuations which :
have boon made by him , ' , against my cbnr-
acter ' fl rl
I agree wilh you perfectly In the last eell-
torlal published in thu same number of lur
paper "That Mayor Bemis should bo able to
'nail down1 some of tin-so rumors and rn
them Into positive facU.-j' < And 1 also bo-
llevo that with the entire police and detout-
Ivo force of the city of Omaha at his back bean
ought to have had something better than

Tnc oriainul scheme of Ino Intcrstato com
pany , which was simply to build a bridge
actoss the Missouri river in orJcr to afford
East Omaha bolter railway facilities , has
been vastly extended , and now comprises an
enterprise of no less magnitude than thai of
furnishing to Omahn , South Omaha | and
Council Bluffs cornnloto terminal railway fa
cilities , including depots , yards and track
age entirely independent of any railroad
company. TUB BEE learns from the olllccrs ot
Ibo company that the expectation is to con
nect with all railroads entering Council
Bluffs , thcnco on a low bridge
over the Missouri river to cost
$1,000,000 , railroad connection will ba tnado
with all the tracks entering East O'naha.
From the brldgo also independent and sepa
rate tracks will bo laid , ono for freight
which will run Into a lanra union freight
depot conveniently located for the business
of Omaha , and of sufficient capacity n
buildings nnd yardage for all time in come
the other in union passenger depot and tbo
double-track running through tha city to
South Omahtt , to afford a new outle' for the
packing interests and other interests there
located.
Tbo managers of the company state that
the contract for the nridge and track work
for the terminal railwaj- lines has been let
and will bo vigorously pushed to completion.
Tbo passenger depot and tbo line to South
Omaha may ba delayed until next year.

The stockholders uf the East Omaha Lnnd
company held a meeting yesterili ) in th > :
odico ot Secretary Potter , 1)J,00'J ) out of too
85,000 shares being represented at the meet
ing. The meeting was called to ratify the
contracts between the ICasl Omaba Land
company and Drexcl & Co. and John
Lober Welsh of Philadelphia , who
agree to furnish the money to
build the bridge. Contracts were also
executed between the land company and the
Phonlx Bri'lge company tu furnish the steel
work for tbo structure , Soooy , Smith & Co.
to build the substructure , piers , etc. , tno
Milwaukee Bridge company tbo temporary
structure , as it Is called , and u St. Louis com
pany tbo shore protection.
Tuo East Omaha Luna com
pany will now make formal pe
tition to tbo city council of Council Bluffs ,
asking the privilege of extending their
trades through Council Bluffs so as to con
nect the railroads desirous of using the
brldeo for freight purposes.
As a matter of facl tbo contracts between
a number of these parties and tbu Ivist
Omaha Land company were maiic last July
with the understanding that no worit waste
to bo done on the site until
the meeting hold today ratilied the
same , and should Ibo action taken in July bo
not concurred in then the companies were to
rnloasc the land company by the latter pav
ing all charges. Much of the material ( or
Ibe construction of the brtdgo la well under
way ami within ten days active wor mav be
expected lo commence on ihu new bridge ,
some of the temporary material now being
In the yards at Council Bluffs ready for de
livery.
The Omaha Brldgo & Terminal Railway
company Is n corporation entirely distinct
from iho East Omaha Land company. The
loan negotiated by the bridge company was
made , tbe managers say , irrespective of the
land company's interests.
FOB POOH CHILDREN.
Winter Semion of tlin Industrial School
Opened Y tor < l-iy.
In tbo book of oousk wo are told that
"Chanty sufforeth long and is kind , " Without
rofcronco tc tbo suffering part of the state
ment H is no exaggeration to say that there
never was a mofre convincing Illustration roof
Iho kindness displayed by charitably Inclined
people than that which may bo soon ovury
Saturday morning between 0:33 : uuei 13
o'clock In iho lllil building on Tenth street !
known as the City Mission.
The Industrial school for poor children ,
which has been conducted in that building
for several year * , opened yesterday morning
for the winter's work. The uttoudanco was
not so largo as it will bo wbon tbo school IB
gotten properly under way , but for an open
ing day It wai a very good showing nnd
Illustrates the eagerness with which the
poor peopla of Iho city reach out to get hold
Of the helping band.
There tvoro over fifty little plrls In the
school and the following teachers were on
bund to assist in tbo work ; Mrs , A. P.
Hopkins , superintendent ; Mrs. Blair , Mrs.
J. J. Moiiell , Mrs. John Wenpuallng und
Mlts Josslo Millard. Mrs , Jardlno , who is n
willing helper In all charitable work , was
also present anil took an active part in gat-
tins Ibo llttlo ones to work and making thorn
feel that they baa a few friends on earth
outside of their homes.
The worn done hi this mission school Is
unique and practical. Thu children are
taught to muko all kinds of common gar
ments , such us they wear themselves , and
when a little tr'.rl ' has completed a carmen t It
becomes bar property. Two iucuntivei are ,
therefore , held out lo tbo child to do tbo
work well ; flrnt , to learn hovr to tnako the
pnrment , and also the knowloileo that It will
bo hers when sbo has It made. Tha chil
dren wnrK In groups ot doten or moro
around the teacher nnd each child Is frco to
asK for instruction whenever help is needed
In the work In hanel.
"What wo would Ilko the pedplo lo titiJtJr-
stnnd , " salel MM. Hopkins. "Is the fact that
wo can use ti excellent advantage any oeiet
pieces of cloth that they may have which
might otherwise bo buried or thrown away.
We have to buy iho good * out. ot which these
garments are made , so you sco if the pcoplo
of Omaba would only think of the mission
school now anil then and send us a few pieces
Of cloth I of almost any description wo would
bo ever so thankful , anel the good that niuht
' uo done in that way can hardly bo estimated.
We ( had an avoraeo attendance lust vcar of
over 150 , I thlnn , in this school
and wo supplied hundreds ot poor fami
lies ' with useful articles of clolhlng. "
The school Is opnod every Saturday mornIng -
Int by singing and prayer , after which
the llttlo ijlrls nro Instructed In outline anil
sowing for two hour * , Tbo worn Is carried
on in connection with the Associated Charities
Uo anel is ono of Iho departments most
highly , appreciated by the poor people of the
city.
WORK TO BEGIN IN FOKT CROOK.
Scnntor Aliiiulorson llrlis : thn
Inform itlon Tint Nu\v York Is Sato.
Senator Mamlorson came In yesterday
Irom Washington , Ho stopped ono day In
New York and ono day In Chicago on tbo
way homo.
"I found the national committee very hopeful -
ful ot republican success , " said the senator
as ho looked up from a heap of mall a fool
high which had preceded htm to Omaha.
"Wo are practically sure of success In Now
York , not so much on account of the laeu uf
harmony In the ranks of tlio democratic
party as on account ot the > free trndu procliv
ities anil the unsound and uncertain mone
tary policy of Mr. Clevclana and his partv.
The report of Labor Commissioner Pock Is
also working good results tor thu republican
party. The aliened harmony of the demo
cratic party lu New Yorlt is only on the sur
face. Thcro are very notlcc.iblo indications
thai Just beneath the surface there exists n
Rpncrnl dissatisfaction In the ranks over the
nomination ot Mr. Cleveland unelthnt ll will
bo practically Impossible for tbo party lead
ers to rally tholr full strength to the support
of their candidate , "
Speaking of legislative matters Senator
Maudcrsou said : " 1 have beem very much
disappointed in Iho negleul and apparent In
ability of the members of the liouso fioin
Nebraska In puscitig forward bills and look
ing after traitors of interest to this flntei.
We sent an enormous amount of legislative
matter to the house upon which Iho members
from Ihis slate seem to hnvo put forth very
llttlo effort to further or guard In the least.
This does not refer to appropriations for
postofllco buildings alone. There were very
low appropriations of that character passed ,
and wo had no right to expect too much of
them In that particular direction , but thcro
wore other matters thut demanded attention
In the boi'so. but I am sorry to sav the rep-
resentalivcs from this state did not seem to
pay much attention to thorn or if they die !
they failed to accomplish anything of much
importance. "
Turnlnir to local matters the senator said :
"Just befoie leaving Washington I cot General -
oral Brookn and the chief architect , of the
Military department together on a disputed
matter touching plans for the new Fort
Crook , south ot the city. There has been a
I
sort of hitch bstwoen the general and the
architect as to which of two ways should bo
pursued In completing the plans fur
the fort buildings. It was simply u matter
ot judgment and cah held lo his
particular vluw of the situation. After
talking the matter over thoroughly they
came to an agreement and the work will now
proceed. Contracts will bo let anon for the
expenditure off-OU,003 durlnt'the present
llEcal year on the new buildings at Fort
Crook. The summer Is so far advanced that
It may bo impossible to do much at the post
this fall but tbo contracts will bo lot "and
work will begin In earnest in the early
spring. "
Senator Manderson will enter personally
ir.to the campaign. He will confer with the
state central committee next wceic with
regard to dates and will be ready soon to
muko a number of speeches unon the im
portant issues of tbo campaign.
