mands that a deed to lot li , block KI , Mul

suit is the result cf ono which was
tried In the district court a few
days ago and in which Joseph C.
Hardosty was defendant. Hnrdesty offered
the proi > erty for sale , and J. B. Daniel , who
has been more or less intimately connected
with a number of shady business transac
tions , undertook to find a purchaser , t'nder
pretense of having found one lie Induced
Hnrdesty to make out and sign
the deed and deliver it to him ,
but the purchaser never turned
up , and the next thing that was heard from
the deed was when it was filed for record in
the county recorder's office here , not a cent
of consideration bavin ? changed hands in
the dealunless Daniels cot some money out of
it. When the deed was recorded Hodcman
was named as the grantee. He subsequently
executed a mortgage , which turned up In the
hands of X. B. Goulden. who claimed rights
as an innocent purchaser. The case was
tried , and-Judge Thornell decided the case
in favor of Hardesty , on the ground that the
sale had been fraudulent. Now Mrs. Har
desty comes in and files a petition in which
she alleges that the deed was secured fraud
ulently and surreptitiously , and that after it
uiis obtained it was altered by the Insertion
of Hodgman's name as grantee. She wants
the deed set aside. .

The litigation recently started against the
electric street car company is bringing to
light some rather startling claims in resrard
to the rights of the company to occupy the
streets. Of course it is conceded on all
hands that no company has a right to build
oropcrate a street railway except by license
from llic city. Has the electric company
such a license , and , If so , what are its con
ditions ? Around these questions there is
gathering quite a number of im | > ortaut and
interesting claims.
An ordinance was passed in 18SO , giving
permission to the Omahn and Council Bluffs
Railway and Bridge company "to construct ,
equip , maintain nnd operate" a railway for
twenty-five years , under certain conditions.
The acceptance of this franchise was neces
sarily accompanied by the acceptance of the
conditions. Was the ordinance accepted ? If
so , arc the conditions being met ! The dis
cussion of these questions is arousiiiL' much
interest and drawing forth some interesting
claims.
Attention Is called to the occupancy of
Avenue A , where it is claimed that in de
fiance of law and with utter disregard to the
city's interests and rights , the company dug
up from the street the dirt with which to
nii.se its tracks to grade , making it neces
sary for ttie city and property owners to ex
pend thousands of dollars in filling these ex
cavations. The city alone spent 1,000 and
the city officials have found no wav to coU
lect a penny of it.
The ordinance of 1SSO provided that the
company should complete its tracks within
three years , or at the option of the city coun
cil all rights under that ordinance in those
streets were forfeited. It is claimed that
the company to whom the franchise was
granted \\cnt out of business iu Ibb" , before
n rail had been laid , but no forfeiture was
declared.
It Is claimed further that the tracks on
Pearll Main' , Fifth avenue and 'Madison , be
sides other streets , were laid unlawfully and
without any license.
Another eomplain.1 which is seeking satis
faction in the courts la that the company re
fuses to pay for the paving used by its
track's. The amount of paring thus appro
priated is estimated as exceeding W,000.
When the property owners sued , the com
pany solemnly averred that it hau never ac
cepted the ordinance of 1SSO , and was not
therefore bound by it. The city officials do
not seem to have been startled Into any
activity by the seeming inconsistency of a
company claiming the privileges of the or
dinance , but denying its rcs nslbilitles.
The thousands of dollars of intersection
paving are likewise involved. Request for
payment brought no money , and the suits
which were at last started seem to be drag
ging so slowly us to give little promise of
any very speedy settlement of these claims.
The officials have been subjected to sharp
criticism for their apparent tardiness and it
has been left for a private citizen to chal
lenge the motor company's right to occupy
the streets , these quo warranto proceedings
receiving no official countenance or aid.
The private citizens who have become so
aroused aj to band themselves together for
the purpose of securing Ity litigation what
they deem to bo justly due them and the
city , declare with considerable earnestness
their determination to secure also. If possi
ble at the next election , such city officials as
will act , and act energetically , for the public
welfare.

All interesting case is booked for trial this
morning in the district court. The parties
interested are residents of Hurlan , and the
dispute is over the estate of J. M. l-onr , who
was one of the earliest settlers of Hurlan.
He was a very wealthy man , and nearly all
of the largest buildings of the place were
put up by him. He died in California about
four ycaisapo , and the present action is with
reference to a note for f.1KXJ ( executed by the
deceased In favor of a Harlan man
named Hunt. Hattle B. Long , the wifeof ,
.1. M. Long , died some time after the death
of her husband , and the legal question now
involved is how much of the personal prop
erty of the father goes to the heirs of the
mother's estate. According to the law ol
California the wife gets half of the personal
property , while in this state one-third is the
inn-lion set apart. The heirs claim that the
law of California is the law which applies ,
rather than the law of Iowa , where the
property s located. Among the heirs Inter
ested are Mrs. V. Keller of this city and J.
V. Voorhis of Omahn.

l-ullre Notes.
Hurry and Oscar Pettey were arrested last
night for committing a nuisance. The police
claim that not long ago an aged tiorse be
longing to the elder Pettey clied , and , in
stead of having It carted away to the dump ,
chopped the a'nluial up and threw the pieces
Into the well on the premises where they
then lived , which was on Forest street , be
tween Forty-second and Forty-third streets.
Both prisoners deny the charge , and claim
that they gave the dead horse to Joe Me-
Cool. The ponce don't give much credence
to the statement of the pair , as they have
been arrested before lor various crimes.
I Frank Holly got out of the i > tnltcntlar.v

.MAI.VEKX , la. . Feb S. [ Special to THE
BEE. ] One of the pleasantest weddings of
the season occurred here last evening. The
groom. Judge Joseph R. Reed of Council
Bluffs , is well known to the people of Iowa
and Nebraska , and Is held in the highest es
teem by a large circle of friends and ac-
qi aintanccs both east and west. The bride ,
Miss Edith Evans , is the charming daughter
of W. D. Evans , for many years a prominent
banker of Malvern.
The wedding took place in the First Pres
byterian church , which was elaborately and
tastefullv decorated with evergreen. The
church was filled with invited friends , who
were shown to their places by the ushers.
Mr. Oscar Patrick of Glenwood , Mr. Charles
Axtcll of Omaha , Mr. Edgar Scott of Omaha
and Mr. James Whiting of Mount Pleasant.
Miss Greene , an accomplished pianist of
Kcolruk and a warm personal friend of the
bride , wliiled away the moments of waiting
by rendering in a most artistic manner a
choice and well selected musical program.
At precisely half-past J % as the strains of
the bridal march from-"I/heugrin" feli UJKIII
the ear. the bridal part.entered. . The offici
ating clergymen. Rev : E. W. Brown of Mal
vern. passed down the left aisle and Rev. R.
C. Hughes of Tabor , doxrti the right. Imme
diately following Mr. Brown were the two
ushers. Mr. Scott and Mr. Whitine , then
came Judge Reed alone , followed by the two
otherushers , Mr. Patriok'o.nd Mr. Axtcll. At
t he altar they a waited the coming of the bride ,
who passed down the Hght aisle leaning on
the arm of her father. They were preceded
by two beautiful tiny "nieces " of the bride.
Mary Goodwin , earryihc a white satin pillow
bearing the ring , imd.iKuth Evans , who car
ried the boquet of roues : These two dainty
creatures , aged n and , 3 , Were charmingly
dressed in quaint pink eostumcs , forming a
pleasing contrast to the bride's gown , which
was of heavy white silk entrainc , with large
sleeves of white-and silver brocade and trim-
mijigs of white silver passementerie a fit
ting costume for the bride , who Is tall and'
queenly.
Following the bride came her sister. Miss
Ethel Evans , as muid of honor. Her gown ,
which was most effective , was of pompadour
silk with white ground , made with round
neck and large puffed sleeves which , like the

Action of the Chicago nnd Ohio Ithrr
TriilttcK cirlitliiii. ;
CHICAGO. 111. , Feb. S Passenger rates in
the territory of the Chicago and Ohio River
Traffic association were advanced today to
the basis of $7 between Chicago and Louis
ville , and between Chicago and Cincinnati.
This Is the compromise basis agreed upon by
-the mads in interest to remain in effect until
such time when the arbitrators selected for
that purixjso shall act. This terminates one
of the longest rate wars in the history of
American railroads. The war lasted nearly
a year , and has been of great benefit to the
traveler and scalper.
At it special meeting-of the Western Pas
senger association the follow Ing tribute to the
memor.v of A. C. Dawes , late general passen
ger agent of the Hannibal & St. Joseph road
was adopted :
Whereas , Notice ha born received of the
death of I'olonel A. * ' . DattC" , for many year *
a prominent flgure among the genural pas-.en-
cer and ticket apcnts of American railroad.- ,
be It
llcMlved , That the general passenger and
ticket nct'iils of the railway lines , members of
the Western Passonpcr association , In meeting
assembled do hereby record an e.\pref. lon of
their regret at the loss of an esteemed friend
and valued associate , and appoint .Mr. P. y.
Eustls to convey to the family of the deceased
some expression of our sincere sympathy 1th
them In this , their hour of aflllctlon , and to
attend the funeral of the deceased at M.
Joseph , 1'ebruary ti , us the special representa
tive of ( his organisation.
A railway official who is in a position to
know whereof lie speaks , made the assertion
today that freight rates from Chicago to
Colorado and Utah ] > oints and the Pacific
coast are in n worse condition than they have
been for years. He dec-lares that the com
peting lines are making little or no pretense
of maintaining the tariff rates , but arc re-
snrtinp to all sorts of devices to secure busi
ness , regardless of agreements or the man
dates of the law. At the same time there
seems to be a disposition to keep the matter
quiet for the reason , perhaps , that where all
arc equally guilty , none have the temerity to
make charges that might possibly prove to
be a boomerang.
Dreicl , Morgan & Co * and tin ; ItendliiRT.
Pint.AHEi.ruiA , Pa. , Feb. S. The Evening
Telegraph says that the general opinion pre
vails that the relations between the manage
ment of the Reading and the banking hous
of Drexcl , Morgan & Co. have been prac
tically severed and that Spcycr & Co. of New
S ork arc now furnishing the Reading finan
cial bucking.
The TelcBi-aph says that the relations be
tween the Reading and the Drcxcls became
more intimate than cvtv when President
McLcod succeeded to the presidency of the
company. When the Reading leased the
Jersey Central and the Lchiu'h Valley roids :
it was the house of Drexcl that formulated
and matured the plans and brought them tea
a successful consummation ana furnished the
necessary financial backing.
When President McLcod captured the
Boston & Maine railway ho did it without
consulting Drexel , Morgan & Co. Now.
Pierrcpont Morgan , who is the Vunderbilts'
financial representative , says he strongly
protested against McLeod's course , but tone
no avail. McLood went right ahead , ignor
ing the interests of Plcrrejxmt Morgan and
secured the line just as it was about to be
turned over to the New York , New Haven &
Hartford , a Vanderbilt lino. Then the
Reading and the Vauderbllts began a battle
royal in ttie New England states , Drexel &
Co. aligning themselves on the Vander-
bilts' side. Thus the rupture came about ,
the Drexcl house declining to extend accom
modations to the Reading. McLcod looked
around for a time and then entered into
close financial arrangements with Speycr &
Co. , which house is now furnishing all the
backing the Reading needs , in the mean
time the Drexels have resumed close rela
tions with the Pennsylvania and other Van
derbilt lines.
