RAILROADS MUST REPAIR THE VIADUCTS Council Illulld Motor Cam Will Unve to Vuj for Their lfrlvlli > 5 City At torney Instructed to llt'gln Action , The viaduct question was considered l > i the council last night. The city attorney re ported that the council hail authority to compel the1 railway companies to construct the viaducts on Fifteenth and Sixteenth Htreots and to repair the present viaducts. The matter was referred to the attorney for further action. The validity of the ordi nance will lw tested by requiring the rail road cotnp.inlus to repair the Tenth and IClovonth si root viaducts. President S. II. II. Clark of the Union Pa cific presented u communication on the via duct question. Acknowledging the receipt of the action of tlio council ordering the con struction of viaducts on Fifteenth and Six teenth streets , Mrs Clark called attention to the fact that the Uock Island and the Mil waukee owned nnd operated tracks across Sixteenth street , and should t > o required to hoar their proportionate share of the ex pense of constructing ; any viaduct across that street. Mr. Clark further stated that ho consid ered the contract made with the Union Pacific and H. fc. M. by the city in February , 1880 , under which the present Sixteenth street viaduct was constructed , still hi force , and that there was no necessity ut the pres ent time for the construction of any further or any other viaduct on Sixteenth street , and that the Union Pacific could not bo legally called ujKin to assist lu tlio construction of any such uow viaduct. Thought It Will Good Knollgh. Further ho urged that the Sixteenth ntreot viaduct was constructed at the ex pense of the Union Pacific and IJ. & M. railway companies , and that the structure was still legal und adequate to all necessi ties of the traveling public. The Union Pacific company still held nn interest In the viaduct and UK maintenance , and the com pany could and must necessarily oppose any attempt upon the part of the city of Omaha to destroy or remove the viaduct as it now stands. The communication wns referred to the Judiciary committee and the city attorney. The mayor vetoed a resolution ordering the placing of u drinking fountain ut Tenth and Jouglns streets , asserting that the location I ' was not adapted foiyi fountain owing to the demands of tralllc. Mr. ICIsasser thought the resolution was vetoed because he had in troduced it. Mr. Howell thought the foun tain should bo on the corner. Mr. Specht wanted the fountains in prominent places and not on side streets. Mr. Munro wanted the fountain on Tenth iUrotit , north of Douglas so that tralllc ou Douglas would not bo impeded. Nearly every member of the council used the veto for the purpose of warming up his oratorical machinery and it finally came to n vote with the result that the veto was sustained. Then a resolution was adopted locating the fountain on Tenth street ; forty feet north of Douglas. The mayor's veto of a resolution locating a drinking fountain at Twenty-fourth and' Lake streets was sustained. May Tuv tlio ( 'urn. City Attorney Council reported that , in his opinion , the city had authority to tax the curs of the Omaha and Council Bluffs motor line operated in Omaha. Mr. IIowoll wanted nil of the street cars doing- business in Omaha taxed. Mr. Munro insisted that thu bridge com pany wus charging double tolls and paid no lax in Omaha. Ho'wanted them taxed. The light between the old street commis sioner and the reorganized Hoard of Public Works came up in u report of the committee on Judiciary. The ordinance repealing the ordinance , by which MmiVinspear's ofllco was created was placed on file , as was also the ordinance designating the duties of the new oftlcers under the reorganized street commissioner's department of the Board of Public Works. By resolution of Mr. Sauuders the clerk was instructed to notify the Pullman Palace Car company , the telegraph companies and the several railroad companies owning lands , lots and other property within the city , to appear before the council on May 12 to show cause , If any there be , why tlio property of these companies should not bo placed upon the assessment roll for taxation for mu nicipal purposes. The city treasurer was Instructed to Bcol- lect the taxes assessed on the Belt Line Kullroad company within the city as as- seesod in the 11:11110 : of the Belt Line company , and not to collect or receive the pro ratu pro portion which may be charged against the Missouri Pacific company by reason -of the last named company having returned the same to the State Board of Kqimllzatiou for the purposoof taxation. Major Wheeler presented a resolution in structing the comptroller to include In the appropriation ordinance , to ho paid from the judgment fund , the claims of Louisa Van Colt for trno.ii'i ; Catherine M. Tussler , Jjtt'.f ( ! > 0 , and the IIowoll Lumber company tS.ttJS. The matter was discussed for an hour and finally referred to the city at torney. Should Knrve All Alike. Mr. Saundcrs stated that the Omaha it Council Bluffs Street Railway company could not he taxed unless all street railway cars wore taxed alike. Ho claimed that the bridge company had no right to the use of the streets of Omaha except by sutTeranco of the council. Ho was In favor of bringing the company to time by refusing it the use of the streets unless piopor concessions were made.

Tlnit Vrvutluus riiintt Oiii'illmi. There appears to bo a decided clash of uithority between the national commis sioners at the World's fair and the council of administration. Tlio vexing piano liiestion is thu bone of contention and each of the members of those bodies claim to have Jurisdiction in the matter and appc-ar Lo be determined that the other shall withdraw. So far the council of adminis tration seems to have the best of the wrangle. It is in favor of allowing Director of Music Thomas and Herr Hadorowski to use a niano made by a uoncxt'ibitor. Today at a concert given in thu Music hall at the fair grounds such a piano was used In open violation of orders emanating from the na tional commission and with the consent of the council of administration. The question catno up at tlio regular meet ing of the national commission today. Cpm- mbsionor Hurton announced that notwith standing the commission had ordered Di rector General Davis to cause all pianos made by nonexhibitors to be removed from all the public buildings , there was still such an instrument in the Music hall. Ho further understood that the objectionable piano waste to be used at n concert in a few hours. A committee was sent for Director General Davis to uncertain why he had not complied with the order of the commission. The director general replied that upon re ceipt of the instructions ho had ordered the director of works to remove the objection- a Wo pianos. He bad taken it for granted that thu director of works had otio.roil him. A commissioner called the attention of the director general to the fact that the objec tionable piano was still in the Music hall. Colonel Davis replied that if this was true he did not kuow it. Meantime the council of administration sent in its report. It said , in effect , that if noncxhibitors' pianos were excluded , it would cause a failure of the musical pro gram in a largo degree , and that the council of administration would formulate rules to govern the matter. A heated , and , at times , acrimonious dis cussion , lasting for aiihouror morutfollowud. As a result Commissioner Hurton of Kansas offered a resolution declaring that the coun cil of administration had no jurisdiction in the piano question , as it had never been legally referred to that body. The resolution was referred to the judi ciary committee ) and the commission ad journed. While the commission and council of ad ministration wore wrangling over the prob lem the lirst concert given at the fair began and was concluded. Director of Music Thomas and I'aderewski were both there and used the piano which was made contraband. The piano exhibitors were greatly exasperated over the matter. ISuiiqiMttnil the Duke , President Thomas W. Palmer of tlio World's Columbian commission givvo a ban quet at the Auditorium hotel tonight In honor of the duke of Veragua.

All dishes in the long dining room were such as the duke is accustomed to having in his native country , and the menu card was printed in Spanish. The usual number ol toasts were made and tlio discoverer ol America and Ills descendant were especially honored. The duke responded in a ncal speech which evoked much applause , and tlien the assembly drank to "Spain and America , " ' 'The World's Fair , " and sundry other things.

The witness testliled that ho drew the money' and paid it to one of the niom4 > ersof the board , but which ho could not re member. Ho thought that the member- spent the money going some place to look at new cells. No voucher was ever turned infer for the amount. Mr Dorgan could not ex plain why. In December , IHS'.I ' , tu | , hoard should go on a Junket to examine cells In other prisons with a view tu putting cells in prisons , the walls of which are not yet com pleted , only knowing that the board thought such n contract wus necessary. Hitching about uneasily in his chair Dorgun told how he made all of the bills tayable to himself and receipted to himself. "e did that because he did not know but thit : was the proper way to do business. As prison contr.ictor he leased the convicts to himself at f > 0 cents per day , and charged the state $1 per day for each man employed. Ml * Sioim Contract , The witness declared that there were three kinds of stone used in tlio con struction. Then he was asked to give the names , but his memory once more went back on him. Ho did , however , remember that the stone came from Cedar ( 'reek. The day that Dorgan decided upon biiving the stone ho was In Omaha , and went into the Burlington olllees , where he met C. C. Atwood , this owner of the Cedar Creek quarry. After an introduction ho and Atwood Journeyed about town , looking at stone , and the next day went down to Cedar ( 'reek , when a bargain was made to take stone at ! ! .

None of the weights given by the railroad companies were over verified. In September , IS'.i-J , " , H17 feet of dimension stone was shipped , the price of which was 10 cents per fool. This was on five curs. Dorgan did not com pare the number of feet with the shipping bills aud did not know that no live cars ever built would carry the load. To show that his memory was bad Dorgan teslilled that he could not rememHer of talk ing with any person but Atwood about stone. He simply mot him und closed the deal for stone without over asking for bids or getting any information regarding prices. Durjfiiu'H Tlmo lluok. Getting back for a moment to the question of convict labor Dorgan's time book was in troduced showing that during much of the time while he was , working the convicts on the cell house the state had been charged full time , whether they worked or not. Mr. Lninhertson wanted an explanation , but at once .lolin L. Webster filed an objec tion. Ho was allowed to proiouml some questions , the Jln > t of which refreshed Mr. Dorgan's memory to such an extent that bo was enabled to testify that the book hail been spirited away from his olltee and changed in many respects without his knowledge or consent.
