DBS MOINBS , la. , Jan. 21. [ Special Tele
gram to THE BEE. ] JudgoConrad of the dis
trict court passed upon the injunction suit
known as the Evangelical church case today.
The decision recites u most complete history
of the contest from the Buffalo general con
ference in 1837 , which ho hold was the law
ful one , to the conference of the DCS Moines
district hold nt the Kirkwood house in IS'Jl
by Bishop Bowman , holding that the latter
conference was regular and its transactions
legal. This ruling makes the annual
conference held nt Trinity church nt
the sumo time irregular and its
appointees unlawfully chosen. The decision
is therefore against the live conferences
which withdrew from the general con
ference and against the Dubbs faction and
against the local congregations of the three
church bodies whoso properties were in con
test between the Bowmau-Eshcr faction and
the Dubbs faction.
The case was to establish the leg.il rights
of rival claimants to the control of the pul
pits and property of the Evangelical church

Drunks und I'olico Court
Clmruclerfl.
Lixcoj.5 , Nob. , Jan. 31. [ Special to THE
DEE. ] The city of Lincoln is defendant in a
suit for $2,000 damages instituted by the
Sun Vapor Lighting company of Canton , O. ,
for breach of contract , now on trial in the
United States court. The city had entered
into a contract with the nlaintlff to light the
streets for one year with the privilege of
renewal for five. Shortly boforj the -year
expired the council began talking electric
lights , and entered into a contract with a
local cloctrie light company. The now
lighting company didn't get in running order
In time and nothing was said to the Sun
Vapor people about abrogating thelrcontract
uutil a mouth after the year had ended ,
when they wore notified to shut oT ! their
gasoline glims. They declirod for several
months , but Dually did so. They claim that
as the city didn't tell them to stop at the
end of the first year it was constructive
notice that they wanted them to continue
for four years. The case has resolved itself
into a question of veracity as to whether or
not the city did notify them to quit nt the
expiration of the year.

Judge Ogdcn of the district court was
upon the beiich for a few hours yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of hearing argu
ments oa the application in the case ot
Frank L. Heeves & Co. against the city of
Omaha.
Hooves & Co. constructed a sswcr and
upon its completion went to tnc city for a
warrant covering { Ti par cent of the cost , or
$18,031.27. Ho got the warrant , but when It'
was taken to the treasurer that ofllcial re
fused to pay over the cash , stating that the
money was not lu the treasury. Hooves
asked that the words , "Not paid for want of
funds , " be written on the back of the docu
ment that it might begin to draw interest.
This was met with a refusal , though n
proposition to make the Indorsement of the
date of February " 0 was suggested. Heeves
would not agree to this ami went into the
courts , where ho asked for a mandamus
compelling the treasurer to make the en
dorsement. After the arguments wore sub
mitted buth parties went out of court with
the understanding that u settlement would
bo reached.
The Manning-Council case , known to the
profession as the legal mummy , was drugged
up before Judge Ogdcn yesterday. Nearly a
quarter of a century ago William J. Council
came into iwsacsslim of n few acres of land
in the southwest part of the city , getting it
through and by virtue of a sheriff's deed.
There were any number of men who claimed
the land and they all combined by going into
court , where they decided to light Connell tea
a llnlsh. As the years rolled on and men grew
gray , the > luwsult moved along , going from one
court to another , Council winning at every
turn until ut last the court of appeals put un
end to the proceedings. Everything was
cortilicd back to the district court uud u few
days ago Mr. Council concluded to take pos
session of the premises , but he hud not gone
very fur when un obstacle presented itself.
Manning wus on the ground , claiming under
a purchase from one of the parties whom
Comiell had defcutod in several of the
courts. Mr. Council started to assert his
rights and Manning jumped in with n tem
porary Injunction. It was this injunction
that Judge Ogdim wus considering yesterday.
Only n small portion of the proof was sub
mitted when night came and the further
hearing went over until some future dute.
