At thnt time the hotel was operated by ono Davis , who enjoys the distinction of being n brother to n lawyer of the city , ono who has the satuo name. On the trial there wore Borne things that indicated that the lawyer was Interested in the receipts of the house , nnd these facts were published. N Last summer this lawyer was called be fore Judge Irvlno to answer to some alleged crooked connection with the case of Wasser- man against Iroy , it being charged that ho secured an aflldavlt while acting for the plaintiff that was false. Davis was before the bar committee , and it was only by the skin of the teolli that ho escaped disbar ment. Tun HUB kept watch of the proceed ings , and when the investigation was over published the facts as they were given to the committee. A few weeks later Davis commenced a libel suit against Uiic Dnn. in which lie alleged that Ills reputation had been damaged to the extent of a cool JlO.uuo , that his practice had been greatly injured nnd that on account of the publication ho was scoffed at as ho passed along the streets. D.ivls was getting along very nlcelv until yesterday , when the old case of Wasserman against Iroy was called before Judge Davis. Then all of the facts regard ing his connection with the Wasscrman nfll- davit came out. and the upshot of the whole /jiattcr was that the court issuer this order jtnil made it a matter of record.

ItltUKKN AKMS. CnuHo Three Suits for DniniiRt'g AcfirocntliiK US 1,000. . The Commercial National bank appears as the defendant in a suit which was brought yesterday. The plaintiff is Soltna M. Hulton , who thinks that she is Justified in asking for $10,000. She alleges that on or about December 0 , 1802 , there was n heavy fall of now , a portion of which fell upon the side walk on the Sixteenth street side of the bank building ; that , contrary to the pro visions of the city ordinances , the banlt people failed to clear the snow away within twenty-four hours. While the snow was upon the walk , and while the walk was as slippery as glass , the plaintiff went along the itrcot , falling upon the sidewalk and brcai- Ing her left arm. South Omaha will wako up this morning to find that it has two law suits on its hands , both of which have been brought because the officers of the municipality failed tohavo the snow , ice , mud and slush cleaned from the sidewalks along N street. Melissa A. Bunker alleges that during the evening of December 21 ! she was going along that street nnd that on account of its wretched condi tion she fell , breaking her right wrist. The other plaintiff alleges the existence of the same state of facts , with the exception that it was the left wrist that was broken. Each woman sues for 2,000 , and an allowance for doctors' biils. _ Calendar ! ) for Today.

He stated that .hreo-fourths . of all the produce used in the ilty comes from Sarpy county , and it is only ight its people should have a road. Ho iskcd that the council take steps to open a road , or , if it was not within their power , that the county commissioners missionersof Douglas county take ' liold of the matter , as the Union Pacific road Had stolen the old territorial wagon road ind now "mule monopoly , " the Albright street railway , has blockaded the remaining route.

For the first time in the histor/ South Omaha residents and property owners at the Summit in the north part of the city have ivakcd up sufliclently to ask for recognition at the hands of the city council. Up to the present time not a voice from the hill has been heard in the council chamber , except to protest against that portion of the city be ing declared a cow pasture only last summer. That portion of the city has always been considered the most desirable residence place within the city limits , and there has never been a dollar of city money spent north of F street nnd west of Twenty-fourth. As early ns 1884 the land syndicate , having purchased the land from farmers , laid out two blocks between B ana D and Twenty- fifth nnd Twenty-sixth nnd planted the same with trees for a park , with the declared intention of putting a fountain in the center pnd otherwise beautifying the grounds , with the expectation that at no remote day the park would bo surrounded with costly mansions occupied by aristocratic residents. The park has since been deeded to the city , but the trees have been neg lected and the fountain never sent its spray heavenward. The lots are practically nil owned by private parties , the original syndi cate having no Interest in improvements. Within the past three years many handsome residences have been built around the Sum mit , nnd now , as stated above , property owners are beginning to wake up and ask for what they should have had many months ago. Several meetings have been held at pri vate houses , tno List ono attho residence of H. C. Young , Twenty-sixth and B , which re sulted in the organization of the Highland Park association. John A. Dee was elected president and II. C. Young , secretary. Com mittees were appointed to request the coun cil to establish a grading district embracing tlio territory from F street to the north line and from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-seventh streets and for securing electric lights , lire plugs , etc. , to all of which the taxpayers arc entitled , The school board owns a splendid alto for a building at Twenty-sixth nnd E and the Association will use its best en deavors to cive the Summit dwellers the school facilities which they have been deprived of all these years. The association will ask the city council to name the park "Highland park , " though Summit park might bo more appropriate , as that locality was called the Summit before the city was thought of.

PUTTING HIS HOU3E IN OIIDER. .Seimtor-nirct Alien Cloning Up III * AlKiir * 1'rrpnrntnry to Entering tlin Sctiittr. Yesterday Senator-elect Allen was en gaged several hours In conference with pop ulist leaders at the Millard. Ho said to Tin ; Bin : man : "I am trying to get my private and official affairs in slripo so that I can go to Washing- Ion next A-eck , " ho said to a UCB reporter. " 1 will hand in my resignation as Judge of the Ninth Judicial circuit in a few days This business has como upon mo so suddenly that I am finding it very dllllcult to get my affairs closed up so as to get to Washington nt the proper time. " Senator Allen has appointed Mr. T. F. Mcmminger of Madison as his private sec retary. Mr. Meinminger has been a resi dent of the state for about nine years , and has been a warm friend of the senator. Ho has held the position of county treasurer nnd vice president of the Madison State bank. Senator Paddock was in the city yester day on his way to Washington and loft for the east lust night. In conversation at the Millard the senator reviewed the struggle at Lincoln , touched upon the alleged bribery of legisla tors and spolco of his record in the senate during the past six years and of the measures that ho has labored to see enacted. "I am not at all cast down by defeat , " ho said. "I made an open , square republican light and I have nothing to regret. I feel a sense of relief such ns I have not felt for the past llvo years. During my term of ofllco I have worked day and night on an av erage of sixteen hours n day , includ ing Sundays. My record will show more effective work for the upbuilding of this state than has over been done by any other man In the same length of time or over will bo done again 1 am glad to get out of the ofilco and got homo to my own private busi ness , which has for the past live years been constantly and shamefully neglected on ac count of my absorbing interest in the public business under my charge. I entertain no malice toward those who have dcspitefully used me , If any such thcro bo. or toward these who thought it would be for the pub lic interest to retire mo to private life. My heart is full of gratitude to the faithful re publicans who stood by mo from beginning to end and went into the ditch after as glori ous a light as over was made against the most adverse circumstances. I have also a very pleasant recollection of the ex ceptional kindness and courtesy of n largo number of the members of the independent party during the contest. Very many of them , in their hearts and Judgment , preferred ferred my election to any new and untried man. They seemed to understand nnd ap preciate better than many of the republicans the value of mywoidc with relation to the igricultural interests of the state and the iphuilding of this young commonwealth. Under certain contingencies I believe everyone ono of them would have voted for my re election. " Heferring to the alleged bribery rumors the senator saidI : think thcro is a good deal of chaff in the nhvubout that whole business- I do not beiicVo that Mr. Thurston or any other man sought to bribe members of the legislature In order to secure their votes. No" Intimation of n drairo to be bought was ever conveyed to me from any sourro ; nnd so far as I kuow"thcro was not a dollar offered or paid for any vote in my interest. I han no money to spend for such a purpose even if I had been so inclined , and I certainly had no such Inclination. So far as I am concerned I shall bo very glad to see the fullest Investi gation , but investigations based on rumor alone are seldom wise or useful. " Turning to the subject of his record the senator expressed the opinion that the pure food bill , for which ho had labored so dili gently for several years , would die in the house. Ho feared also that the anti-options bill , for which ho had labored and voted , would meet with a similar fate. "It is fortunate " ho " , remarked , "that the meat inspection bill reported by my com mittee has become a law and has been worth thousands of dollars to the farmers of the country already. The forestry blll.whlch lias been reported from my committee and which } s only second in Importance to those Just mentioned , is on the senate calendar and will have to go over to the next congress. The bill for enlarging the jurisdiction of the Agricultural department will also go over. There are some other measures which I hope to work out before the close of the present session. When the session closes I shall pack up my grip , stow away my port folio and return to my homo to take up the duties of a private citizen more than con tented with the change.

An evening paper prints quite a sensational story under the date or Pueblo , Colo. , in regard to an attempt , o extort hush money from Mr. N. C. Crccde , the millionaire , who discovered the rich minc'ral at Creedc , Colo. , and in honor of whom the camp was named. A young man said to bo Floyd Harvey , a nephew of Mr. Crccde , is supposed to liavo jecn the person who intended to do the Blackmailing. Harvey , who is a son of the lostmastcr nt Leon , la. , arrived in I'ueblo Tanuary 28 and stayed there under the as sumed name of A. L. Abbott , registering from Aspen , Colo. , for a couple of days. Ho suddenly disappeared and the next thing heard of him was that ho had died on n train when Hearing Wilson , Kan. The body was taken off there and afterward shipped Dto his father in Iowa. Death had been caused by poison , which is thought to have been self-adminis tered. Durinir Harvey's short stay in Pueblo liu told a chance acquaintance that ho was thcro for the purpose of blackmailing Mr. Creede. His frankness led the acquaintance to think that Harvey was slightly unbal anced. Harvey went on to tell his new friend that about twenty years ago Mr. Crcedo had killed a man because of his threatening to foreclose a mortgage on Crccde's father's farm. The killing is alleged to have been done in Jasper county , Iowa , and Creede , as the story goes , finally loft Iowa , going to Kansas , from whence ho came to Colorado , where ho has boon prospecting in the moun tains until he liually struck it rich in the famous Crcedo district. Young Harvey said ho proposed to demand $ Ti,000 from Mr. Crecdo for keeping the mat ter quiet , but his scheme was suddenly checked by his death. Mr. Creede was seen at his homo in Pueblo in regard to the story nnd said that since December 10th ho had received several let- tjrs alluding in a mysterious way to "Dun- reath , Jasper county , la. " Ono of these letters was from Fort Worth , Tex. , nnd another w.is mailed from Denver. The let ters bore different signatures although the handwriting in all was the same. Mr. Creede attempted to capture the writer , but was unsuccessful , when asked about Harvey , who was found dead on the train , Mr. Creedo admitted that the young man was his nephew , but that ho had not seen him in Pueblo and did not think that ho was the man who registered under the name of Abbott. Mr. Creedo emphatically denies having had any trouble in Iowa , nnd says that if it was really his nephew who has been trying to extort money from him , ho must have been used ns a cat's-paw by a gang of scoundrels desirous of blackmailing him.
