That cily hall InvoHlgnllon opened
promptly on tlmo last night nnd continued In

spectators to watch the proceedings.
The meeting started llko thU :
"Mr. nelndorff , will you take the stand ! "
Mr. Dolndorft stepped Into the witness
box and City Attorney Conuoll shot the
questions at tilm.
Mr. Uomdorff testified that ho prepared
the detail nnd ether drawing * ot the city
hall ; bo furrmhod plans to the subcon
tractors , with the exception of the Jlrm that
put In the ornamental Iron work. Uatatl
drawings were prepared for the tower nnd
the tower wiw constructcu In accordance
with those details.
"VVns there not a bolt COUMO ot carving
nround the city hall that U not thorol" asked
City Attornuv Connclt.
i "No , sir , " nnswercd the architect.
Mr. UolndorfT swore that ho had complete
details und drawings In his ofilco , cut they
were his < jwn prlvato property , though they
were open ( or Inspection.
The drawings for the stone work on the
tower were not uindo until after the contract
was lot , for the reason that the oilgtnal plans
contemplated Galvanized iron

tskcd Mr. Connell ,
"Yos , sir , " uuswcrod Mr. Beindorff.
The east and north sitlos of the hall were
as originally planned.
' 'Tho north sldo of the building docs not
run to the alley , does 111" nsked the at
torney.
"It lacks st\ foot , " answered the architect.
Mr. Council lusistod that thin was sU foot
of lost space.
Mr. Ueindorff Insisted that that was not
10 ; that the space was for letting In 11 slit
ttnd besides , the council settled Iho question
of how deep the building should bo from
Faruum street to the icnr.
Then thov ' lumped to the tower , when Mr.
Delnuorft 'declared that it was just the
liolghth Hint tlin contract provided for. The

Corff stating ttmt the original contract pro

building during t ho past thron months. Dur
ing that ttmo bo had been in the building
every day anil bad given It alt the attention
that was needed.
Flooring had not bnwon hit or miss In nil
Of the rooms. Ho had objected to the work
nnd had ordered it stopped. Nona of tuo
window sills wcro cracked when they wont
Intp the bulldmg. All ot the lumber had boon
examined hoforo It was put Into the building ,
and It was all of a quality provided for by

i , Uetnlli nf the Stouu Work.
i Mr. BotndnrfT P tatod that his contract nro-
vldod for one-half Inch of mortar between
the stones of the columns in the hall and it
was not true that In some places the mortur
wus un inch in thickness.
"Is not the mortur nn inch thick In some
plncesl" nsk d the attorney.
"No sir. "
"I will demonstrate that It is. Is it not
true that sumo ot tneso columns , were cut too
short and they were Illlod out with mortar ! "
' . 'No sir , thnt is not truo. If the stones

"Will your olans show the wash basin with

"No , sir. They were not Intended to be

to keep the uns out. "
" .Don't you know that und r the ordinance
these traps are not sanitary ? "
"Tho ordinances of the city of Omaha do
not make them sanitary. "
"Why did not you provide for plpoa to thereof

"Tho plans provided only for the or-
pomllturo of S.130,000. "

JudgoR 3. Dandy roturnoJ from his cus
tomary summer baar hunt liU evening In
Cue health and the very bait condition to M-
RUmo the ouorous duties ot the November
term.
Iho Judgo'.s handsome homo on the corner
of Lcavoaworth and Twanty-nlnthstreets Is
nu Index to the man's ' chtntctor ; that Is , In
many features It glvos evidences of his tastes
and inclinations. Tno most conspicuous ob
ject that strikes tno eye in entering thu
broad hull is the soml-inotiutod skin ot an
enormous American piuthor , which dopouds
from the celling atrainst the south wall until
tbo gaping Jaws almost touch the lloor. It is
a tiiaunlllcout specimen ot the mountain lion
aud u trophy highly prized by the Judge , as
Its death ha considers one of thn greatest of
all his achievements In the ploomy fastnesses
of the ttocklcs. In tuo roar of the hall an
easy-hollow choir , lined with tha luxu riant
coat of a big silver-tip , dwarfs Its surround
ings and luvltos ono within Its sumptuous
depths.
In the parlor to the right , outstretched
upon thu lloor In a war that hides a vast area
of the Wilton , Is the monstrous coat of a
grizzled old grr/zly , tha largest boar that
over full to tha unerring aim of our Judicial
hear idllor. Ulko the panther It is
partially mounted the head , with Its
treacherous Ilttlo eyes nnd Jaws extended ,
boitig complete and giving ona a faint idea
of wnat the sensation would be to ruu face
to 'uco with ono of these formidable ) animals
in some Isolated and lonely OuUlu of the fur-oft
Hockios. It Is another souvenir of the
Judge's predatory excursions that money
couldn't buv. Opposite , In the library or
sitting teem , on the south wall is a largo oil
painting , a counterfeit presentment ot the
inundated oak flats of the lower Illinois , with
the huso troos" in their vnrl-colorcd autumn
garb , winding sloughs , halt-wholmod logs ,
and n brace of mallards startloJ by tome
un won ted sound m the solitude from their
banquet among the iccds and wild rlco.
"Well , " sntiltuoJudge , "I urn back and
down to Qchltng weight , bavo nn uppotlto
like u boar nud couldn't bu In better spirits.
You see , I trained off u trifle over sixtonn
pounds and as that Is the nrit-clpul reason
for my summer trips Into the mountains , of
course I am faatlstlcd. Bear , oh , they are
only a side issue .you know , Just to relieve
the monotony of camp life , nud keep the
blood from becoming sluggish. Yes , 1 go
some Ihreo two gri/zlles 'bout thesiroo _
this old fellow [ pointing to the hairy leviathan
ornamenting tlio parlor Moor ] uud ono cin
namon. Soiry , but 1 didn't got a crack at
any of thobo , It was too lufornul hot for
hunting , nail 1 trapped them.
I was way up In the 131uo
Grass crock in Wyoming , no ono with mo but
my cook and Winchester , und I was gone just
two months. What would the crl zilos
weigh ) Well , say TOO pounds each , not such
monsters when you lomombor that they
roaoli 1,203 , 1 , 00 , yes , nnd even 1,41)0 ) pounds ,
but they were blj ? enough for all practical
purposes , and 1 don't think I have lost any
uicicr ones. .
"Baltl Oh , wo USD the carcass of a deer
or antelope , and If tbeso cannot bo obtained
n young belfcr manes a toothsome induco-
luont. Plenty of doer nnd autrlopo there
now. You see tbo frost Is driving thorn into
the shelter of the mountains , where they will
remain until the grass begins to grow
afresh In the spring. They ulford plenty of
anort , for ordluary hunters but I want
nothing but boar the bigger the hotter. I
used a stcol trap woighlnir forty-two pounds ,
and the only way to kcon bruin from picking
It UD and carrying it off. although ho gets his
foot Into it , is to tie it to the nearest moun
tain. A mountain is the only thing a grizzly
can't move , that I know nf.
' Too larccr ono of the two 1 caught this
tlmo wa ? way up on Squaw mountain , where
1 had discovered sign nf a big fellow , but I
don't think i got him. Still , i can't com
plain. To eaten a ucnv of nnv size is exhil
arating enough when you nro alone out tuoro
In these ghostly mountains. Yes , of course
I will go buck next yuar , and tbo next and
thu next. 'L'nat is , you know , If I have the
health und strength and wherewith to got
there Utter inability to travel Is all that
will cvor put nn embargo upon my yearly

ADJOURNED TILL MONDAY.

At tno continuation of tbo Inquest In
the Mayor Miller case yesterday 11.
H. Gjrloch , an omnloyo of Deor-
ing & Co. , said he had soon a man in light
clolhus within ten foot of where Miller was
shot about twelve minutes before ho hoards
tbo shot ilrcd.
A Douglas street clothier said that a man
had coino to his store and wanted to buy n
shotgun ou the day that Miller was shot.
His description did nottally with that of
Mr. Miller.
Willis Strcotor , a shipping clerk fur Door-
Ing & Co. , had heard tuo shot fired , nnd run
ning to the window saw a puff of smolto
where tbo body \vas found. It would have
bcou impossible for anybodv to have tired
the shot nnd dlsappoaied without fulling m
the woods. The shot was tired at U o'clock ,
s County Clark Sncltott wus positive that he
hau keen Mr. Miller , who was un old frlandln
fiont of Uyrou Heed's oFlli/o / at 11 : riO , nourlv
an hour uftor the shot was ucard at Doering's.
Uaargo Ksmund , bocrotary of the Oinuha
Lite association , was equally posltiva that he
had seen and spoken to Mr. Miller at 1:30 ol
the samoday.
Li. H. Potts , u frlond of Mr. Miller's , had
MICH him at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning be
tween liightu and Ninth strcots on Douglas ,
Tbo testimony of all the Ninth street
women so far examined cocb to show tliotjil
was not Miller who visited their houses on
Iho night In question.
Lou Scott of 10'J South Eighth street
stated that Mr. Miller nud two other contlo
inon were In the liouao at U o'clock Monday
forouoou. She was acquainted with thu deceased -
ceased ; had previously scun him In his

the man who was with him , nnd guvo c
mlnuto description of bis clothing ; he bac
Id admitted to her that ho was a gambler ir
South Omaha ; was positive that the visit
was nmdo on Monday.
jonnlu Black , who resides at 101 Soutt
Eighth street , another of the women said u
have boon with Miller , cave a description o

NEW Yonu , Oct. 8. I Western Associated
Press Special , ] Goislps during the week
past have not found so much material in
what has boon done as In whit is to bo done
In the near future. Base ball fever 11 ebbing
slowly out with the close of the season , but
another craze Is taking its place foot ball.
The professional gossip has little place In
the talks about this branch 6t sport , but the
knots of college hoys uhn drift Into the me
tropolis lu search ot diversion nro iull ot It.
It Is believed that the day ot tremendous
foot ball scores by strong tunms against
weak oucs U parsed , and It Is nUo believed
to bo Improbable that the present season will
sea any record-breaking la that direction.
The reason for this will bo found In the now
rula adopted by the IntorcolI6glnto Foot
Ball association. Up to this year the rule
was that attorn failure to lIck : n goal from n
touch-down the slue who < o coil had been
attacked couht only bring Iho ball out to Its
twcnty-llvo yard liuo and piny was resumed
there. This your , however , upon s\lch \ fall-
uro lo kick goal , Iho ball coos to the middle
of the Hold ns at the beginning of the game.
The only ether change of" Importance is the
abolishing of the "punt out" nftor n touch
down for' position , from which to try for n
goal. This ptav has fallen Into disuse in late
years and its elimination will not alYcct the
game.
Inlrrrnllpgliito Toot Itnll ,
The tbrco clubs mostllkoly to be "hi at tbo
death" are Yalo. Harvard and Princeton.
Ynlo has started out poorlv , but aha has n
habit , ll Is said , of "keeping something up
her slcnvcs , " and at the end of the season ,
thanks to superior coaching and conselon-
llnus work , is llio "samo old Yalo. " Her
peculiar game with the Wesleyans on Wed
nesday was not encouraging to her ndmlrars ,
und It U sufo to say that either Harvard or
Princeton could boat ner present form. Both
Harvard and Ptlncolon showed up well in
their opening games , Harvard particularly
well In point uf Interference. Lo'wis , the colored -
lorod law studcntln this op3iilnggamoplayod
cuntro In n manner favorable to his candi
dacy for tlio position. Princeton was thought
lo have played a "one-man" game as far as
aggressive plav Is concerned.
Harvard und Prlncolon have not ns yet
boon nblo to agree upon a data for n meeting
this fall , nud unless some couclusion bo
reached soon , it Is freely stated that there
will bo no game botwocn those teams this
year. If tula bo the fact , In the event of
Yalo's defeat by both Harvard and Prluco-
ton , there would bo no actual championship
for the season of IS'- ) ! .
Mr. llonncr'H Ideas on Sulky Wheel * .
Of course , admirers of the trotter all have
n focus on the southern tracks ut present ,
and those where Hobort Banner's samples of
horse ilesh nro to attack the record in par
ticular. Mr. Bonner , it is said , may Intro
duce u surprise when Sunol makes the at
tempt In line with his well known couvio
lions in regard lo the manner In which a
suluy should bo constructed. It is thought
to bo dotlnituly settled that the blcyclu sulky
will bo used , but not the dovica used
by Queen Nancv. Bonner'a objection
to thu olcyclo sulky is understood to have
been prlncipallv the small wheels. Ho re
gards these n ) olTerlni ; too much resistance.
Ho Is said to have ordered a sulky , combin
ing all tbo advantages of pneumatic tire ,
ball bearing , etc. , but tbo wheels uro much
larger , In tact approximating the size or the
old style sulkies. Mr. Banner probably ex
pects to equalize the Increase In vvoight by
the decrease In resistance. In any event ,
Mr. Banner expects to plnco Sunol on the
track under the best possible conditions with
tnc firm belief that bis stable will hold the
record.
norsa Talk.
Tuo wonderful trotting and pacing par-
formancos of the past two wroks have made
the horse markets very active , and the call
for clover trotters has been greater tban
usual at this tlmo of the vear. It Is said that
breeders of horses are shipping hero fpr sale
moro trotters than they have for a long , time
past.

was begun last Satualayund furnished three
distinct snnsatlous. Morris Park Is adapted
to record-breaking performances , as the iinal
run is down bill , greatly assUtiug tbo ruu-
ncrs. Frequently there Is , as on Salurday ,
a strong wind which helps lo push them
alone a tnllo faster.
A recent decision ncalnst the bookmakers
of Monmounlh Park leaves it an open ques
tion as to whether that track will rpco again

Charlie Mitchell's latest piece of brutality
has Dcon the principal topic among pugilists
nnd sporting inon during the past few days.
Ills unprovoked assault upon an inoffensive
old man only served to incrcaso the intense
dlsllko ontomlncd for tbo "sprinter"
among a majority of the gentry In this city ,
and wnon his speedy trial and sentence of
yesterday were made known expressions of
satisfaction loud and deep were uoaid in
neatly nil directions. Illustrating tbo fool
ing among tbo lower classes of the talent
hero toward Mitchell , a romarn overheard
by the writer was : "If Mitchell ever comes
to t His country again ho will go out foot

Lying upon the grass at bis training quit

remarked that he believed ono great mUUU

than ever , bcllorcs that bo has histrionic , as
writ as uhysicn ! strength.
Tn bo frank , the great Sullivan , the
fighter , the bruiser and onccntly bruised ,
has n certain nnlmal grace that borrows
charm from his vorvr bignctft' . A graceful
big person Is more pleasing than a graceful
small person , nnd aside from the fact that
Sullivan , as Sullivan , Is a colter of Interest ,
there Is something In his hoooit ponderosity

mind that I would lot the Chicago people rob

but I saw enough on my roucnt trip lo make
mo believe tnnt It Is a dead sure thing.
There are a great mnuv democrats In Yir-
_ mla who will never vote for Cleveland. I
have hoard some of them who uro old nnd In-
luential citizens in my old homo and
who have never voted anything but the
straight democratic ticket bufore , ononly de
claring that they will vote for Harrison.
Then thorn Is a sort of fusion : between the
republicans and independents The repub
licans are supporting" Independent candi
date for congress and the iiudooondents In
return will veto for Harrison. , You see if
Virginia's electoral vote is not cast for the
republican candidate. " t

W. J. Burgess "I hear some complaint
from retail dealers about null trade , and I
cannot understand U. The box-oftlco of a
theater Is a good barometer , Indlcitlng the
coilditiou of the public purse. My business
at tbo Farnam street theater Is just
now $5,000 ahead of this date
last year based on the comparative
number of bookmc' . I thought some months
ago that the political campaign would hurt
the theatrical business , Uut there have been
comparatively few meetings , torch light pro
cessions and "political jamborees. This quiet
campaign just suits me , ns It doubtless does
every ether theatrical man. There Is no
iloubt much tuoro money In circulation in
Omaha this year than there was last. "
D. H. Guodrlch "Cioakers will toll you
that Omaha has Ipst a small porcontagn of
Uer population the past year. 1 don't believe
it. With practically the same lines nnd the
same service the Omaba 'Street Hallway
company has carried more passengers this
year than It did last. The net Income from
fares was $1,000 more m Septem
ber than for tha same month lust
yoar. I can attribulo the iucreaso
to nothing else than Increased population.
Do you know of nny condition that would
malto the same people and the same number
of people travel moro In September this
year than in September a year agol If tbo
increase does not moan an increase of popu
lation , what does it mean ? "
fred 1'ickon "Did you over trace a lost
car of freight ! Well , then , you have some
thing to learn. I've teen In this particular
business for the past two weeks. It Is not a
delightful pastime. A cor Is overdue ; you
know It started for Omaha on a given day
and that it ought to bo hero. It is not hero
that Is the agent knows nothing of it and
don't cnro a tlnltor about It. You visit
him frequonty to no avuil. At
last In sheer "desperation you appeal
to that niiL'iist personage known as the
general n ent. Ho starts a tracer nftor the
car. It goes to the fieigbt agent ; Is referred
liv nlm to the yardmasior , then it goes to
the foreman of the switching crow. This
latlcr oulclal , nine limes out of ton , will wail
a day or two and than make a written
reference report to the effect that the cat
ariived at the yard In duo tlmo , but ho was
so hard pressed that ho oould neb possibly
tiiu-o moved It a moment sooner. His report
then takes tbo return trip and in three
or four days gets back lo the head olllco ,
Moanllmo I bavo been down in the yard ,
put u good hard dollar where It would do tht
most coed , and my car Is promptly shovec
Into our sldo-tracK. It Is only a Ilttlo illus
