The records extend back for thirty years or more , and there is enough of them in each olllco to fill a good sized dray. The justices .reason that if they are worth anything at all they are worth keeping with more care than has been used in the past. They lake up a great deal of room besides.

Mi'Menom.v , who had been lying nt the point of death for several days , passed away yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. All Thursday night his bed was surrounded by anxious watchers and the end' was momentarily expected. For thirty-six hours ho lay unconscious and it was evident that the worst only could bo hoped for. The reports of his condition , which were sent to his friends on the outside , were any thing but encouraging , and when nt last the tolling of the bell of St. Xnvier's church an nounced that the slender thread bad snapped and the soul of the beloved priest had gone to its last reward , the sad news was as readily understood as if it had been framed in words. The arrangements have been partially completed for the burial service. They will be held at St. Xu vior's church on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Invitations have been sent to all the Catholic priests within a radius of many miles to UP present and assist nt the exercises , and it is probable that many of them will be accepted , as the work of the deceased was so widely known and ho himself occupied so important a place in tho'denomination nt largo. Father McMenomy was the first resident priest in this city. lie came from George town , Monroe comity , In. , in November 181)0 , and ever since that time .lie has been a resident of Council Bluffs. Ho was born in County Donegal , Ireland , in August , ISJiO. Ho received his early education ut St. Columb's college , in Londonderry , entering there at the ago of 1.1 years , and remaining for four years , at the end of which time ho cnmo to this country. Ho settled first in St. Louis , where ho continued his theologi cal studies for four years under the direc tion of Archbishop Kondriek. In 1854 lie was ordained to the priesthood and commenced his work in a small parish in northern Missouri. While there he laid out the town of Mavyvillo. In 1858 he com menced an cijiht year pastorate in Edinn , Knox county , Mo. , at the conclusion of which ho moved to Georgetown. While at the latter place ho built llvo churches in the towns of Melrose , Chnrlton , Wood burn , Leon and Georgetown. The work lip has accomplished since coining hero , in the erection of the magnificent church building at the corner of Fifth avenue and Sixth street , at a cost of $60,00 ! ) , and the upbuild ing of the two schools which are maintained hero under the auspices of tbo Catholic de nomination , is too well hn&wn to need more than passing mention. As long ns these in stitutions continue to thrive as they are now , Father MoMcnomy will need no other monument save those which ho has erected by his own efforts. Oimrrc'l Over mi InC.int. Judge Smith heard the testimony in n habeas corpus case yesterday hi which the question of who should have possession of a little piece of pink and white humanity ( i months old was to bo decided. It is they child of William Snylos.

Tills arrange ment , Sayles claims , was a temporary 0110 , and ho recently arranged wit It his slater , Mrs , Maria Kykert , of Corfu , N. Y. , to take the lltjlo ono. When she presented herself nt the Muggs mansion she was forbidden to take the child away , as the man and his wife claimed that it was Mrs. Sayles' wish , ex pressed on her death bed , that they should Itecp it. A great deal of wrangling followed , and finally It was brought into the court by the filing of n petition for n writ of habeas corpus in order that the court might decide to whom the child belonged , Is your blood poor !

He had read In the papers about Smith's In carceration , and thought possibly bo might bo the man whoso acquaintance ho so much desired to renew. Deputy Marshal Fowler took him down to the county Jail , but when ho arrived there n mighty transformation had taken place. Smith had gotten hold of a ra/.or that belonged to a friend , > nnd the crimson Hood that concealed his shirt front disappeared.

A tire started in C. Boson's planing mill on North Main street. The alarm was turned in shovtlv after T o'clock. The blaze started In the drying room , in the second story , where everything wna so dry that it burned like tinder. A ladder was placesd against the s.deof the building and tlio hose of the chemical engine was stuck through the win dow. The ilro was blazing brightly but the instant that the stream from the chemical struck it the iusido of the mill became as black ns _ night , and in a few heconds the lire was entirely extinguished. A hasty examination made by the light of a lantern showed that considerable damage had been done , but not nearly so much ns there would have been had the apparatus been less complete. Mr. Boson states that ho thinks $ oOO will not replace the mill in as good condition as before. How the fire or iginated is a mystery. The only beat there was in the drying room was what came from a set of steam pipes running along the north side of the room , while most of the damage was on the south side. 1'romri > tTr. * C.

A Joint meeting of citizens aud Hoard oC Trade members was held last night at the otiucll Chamber , for the puriKisc of hearing eports of committees appointed nt n pro- : loti8 meeting. D.ivid Anderson w.is called o the rhalr. ' City Attorney Van Dusen.chairman . of the oiuinlttec on charter , read a lengthy report embodying changes proposed by the commit- ee. .The most Important changes suggested ivere amendments lo sections one and two of ; he present charter , relating to population as respects tlic class of cities , and section 17 re lating to salaries of city ofllcers. The amendment proposed to section * one ind two simply provided for changing the lauso which reads " 10,000 nnd less than . ' : > , ( XX ) iuhahltanls" to 8,000 ami less than # inou , nnd moro clearly defining the lines iiclerininlng to what class a city belongs. The proposition seemed to meet with gen eral approval , though no action was talten. The amendments to sect iun 17 , ns per the report of the committee , provoked a lively discussion. The amentlments provide for raising the salary of the mayor fi-om > 00 to : ? 4JOO per year , the salarv of the cll.v clerk fromrr > 0 to $1,00 ! ) , aud that of the city at torney from ftiiM ) to Jl.'JOO per year. Almost everyone present expressed an opinion and it wassafo tosuy no two agreed upon the advisability of attempting to ha Venn amendment adopted providing for a ra'lso of salary of ofllcers. With regard to salary of the mayor It was pretty generally ngrecd that nothing short'of a ralsu which would bo sufficient to justify a good business man to devote his entire tituo to the business of the ofllce , would have the .desired result , that of soeuring bettor talent und closer attention to city affairs. Then came the question as to how it would ho received in the legislature by representa tives from other cities of the same class. The same was substantially true of other proposed amendments relating to salaries. Some suggestions wcro made regarding the right of eminent domain in the matter of opening or vacating streets and providing for levying a special tax to raise n fund for paying damages awarded ; also to provide for the erection of viaducts by man damus If necessary. In the case of South Omaha it would bo desirable to increase the levy for the general fund from 10 mills ns at present to 1 or 15 mills. It was conceded by all that such an amend ment would have a rocky road to travel when it run up against member of the legis lature from other cities of the same class who do not fly half so hipb as South Omaha. As the attendance was small and so much difference of opinion prevailed it was de cided not to vote ouitiuy of the proposed amendments until the nex.t meeting. A committee of three was appointed by the chair , consisting of Fred Smith , J. C. Carroll and .ludgo Hedges , to ask the city council to defray the expense of preparing copier of the bill , not to.exceed $ > . " > lor IUO copies. To the original charter committee of seven were added Judge Brecn , Hon. John McMillan , Attorney U. C. Lane und ex-City Attorney Adams. They will meet next Mon day night. No Imiucrtl 'Necessary.

The prisoner was identified and as a result of his pleading Mr. Press decided not to prosecute Heyinan. as the latter claimed to have a wife and family. The amount fraudcntly secured was given Mr. Press together with i430 for expenses aud tlio ease was dropped. It WIIH Mu ic'H Fault. Two disreputable females were arrested Thursday night for raising a disturbance on a South Omaha motor car and were allowed to go by Justice Fowler yesterday morning.

J. W. Rogers , the Omaha attorney who was arrested Thursday , was given a hearing yesterday morning , and the case dismissed. Judge Doano appeared in the interest of Mr. Rogers , and succeeded in securing the liberty of his man.

John Banies and his brolher-ln-law , James Kcrr , went to the Ohio river Monday for supplies , and returned homo Tuesday night very drunk. Nothing more was seen of them 'till last night , when a neighbor who called found Mrs. Barnes lying on the bed dead with her head crushed , while Barnes and Kcrr were lying in a corner , also dead , literally cut to ploces with knlvoi , which cnch still grasped in their hands.

Two Xow Omnlm llullt l.iirntnnthr * Will Ti kn tlin Itiinil on .Mciudiiy. It Isn't so very long ago that the locomo tive with the largest wheel was supposed to bo the simplest , engine made. This was par ticularly true of the English locomotive - motive mid for a time their adop tion In America was looked upon ns solving many difficulties so far ns grade mid capacity were concerned. But these en gines nro fast disappearing ; in fact , many of the mountain rands are boring out cylinders and turning down wheels to give their loco motives more strength. Seine six years ago the Denver it Rio Graudo adopted this iwSlcy , their thirty-five Baldwin engines beinir bored from fifteen to sixteen inches. The wheels in this case wcro not reduced , however , as they were only thirty-six inches. The result was highly satisfactory , and locomotives that hud been pulling live loads on n 'J17-foot grndo handled with the stxteen-lnch cylinder six loads very nicely. In short tlio bored-out engine's capacity was Increased one-sixth. The Union Pacific company since Mr. Me- Council came to the superlntcndcncy of motive power and machinery seeing the work done by the Denver & Rio Grande engines have also adopted the policy of turning down the wheels and boring out the cylinders. The wheels are being turned down from TM toIt inches , and the cylinders which wcro 111 are bored out to IS)1. ) ; . A test was made last week with ono of these remodeled engines be tween Trinidad and Denver with most satis factory results. Seventeen loads , which wcro considered n fair train for the engine as originally turned out , were increased to 'twenty-two loads and handled with ease at an average speed of U5 miles per hour. Two new locomotives will be turned out of the Union Pacific shops on Saturday , 1701 and 812. Outside of enlarged cylinders and fire box , 1701 is pratlcally the same ns 1100 which is now engaged in pulling the fast train over the hogback from Larnmlo to Sherman , a distance of a little over twenty-six miles , which it accomplishes in an hour and twenty minutes , on n ninety foot pi-ado to the mile. The she of the 1701's cylinders is ! 20xtM , and the fire box lllx)2-lX : ) inches. These dimensions , it is thought , will increase the capacity of the locomotive ono load and make it just that much more available than the 1700 , which , all reports to the contrary , has been doing exceptionally satisfactory work on ono of the hardest pieces of road in America. Since it left the shops 1700 has been making its two trips a day and shows little usage except where it has como m contact with the blizzards that howl over the mountains about half the year. No. SIS belongs to tbo same class as the SOO engines , eleven of which having beet : turned out this year. This ensiuo will bo first tried on the run between Omaha and Denver and later will be put in service on one of the western divisions. Both engines are beauties and among the best ever turned out from the Omaha shops. Engine 1701 is a monster , and standing by Its side man fools his dwarfed con dition ns lie looks up at the almost sentient being which will soon bo climbing the hill between Cheyenne and Laramie. The cupine weighs seventy tons and carries 112,000 pounds on its drive wheels. Every thing about it is finished except an ad ditional coat of paint , which it will receive today. Sunday it will have a day of meditation in the paint shop drying out , and on Monday it will start on its trip overland to Cheyenne where it will po into service to pull the fast passenger train over the Hogback , taking } Ve'rt ant all nlijht Till bi'uail daylight , Hut we drink drinkSULPUOSAUXE SULPUO-SAUXE In the morning.
