THOSE USELESS IIYDKANTS. f'onfVrciice of Coiui'dl Oommlttou nd \Vutcr Works IViiplo on Itiilonitinn , The special committee of the council , com posed of Munro , Wheeler and Prince , to gether with Mayor Bernta and City Attorney Oonnell , yesterday after noon met Superintendent Hunt of the American Water Works com pany for the purpose of ascertaining if an tigrccmont cannot bo reached whereby the water works company will take ut > some of tno useless ( Ire hydrants in portions of the city remote from buildings , bring them doivn town ami relocate them as intermediate hydrant * at an annual rental of $10 , instead of $ IK ) . The question was raised by a letter from Mr. Vernier of the company , written some months ago , in which ho of fered to relocate 10J hydrants , and in order that the amicable relations with the city might continue , the offer was made. The letter did not saato that they would bo relo cated as intermediate hydrants , although the interenco was drawn by many that such would bo done. The company said It was not Its Intention so to do. The committee is seeking to settle the question. A little talk was indulged In , but nothing came of it. Mr. Wheeler satd ho had found hydrants that had been located where they were not needed and In ono Instance outside of tlio limits. Tlicso were the hydrants it was In tended to relocate. Mr. Hunt said that a great many hydrants had been located 800 or 1.000 or 2.000 feet from any buildings , and especially was this true of the north part of the city. City Attorney Comioll read the proposition of Mr. Venner of the water works company , in which lie o.'fored to relocate 100 hydrants as directed by the council , the expense to bo mot by the city. Mr. Munro said the question arose over an ordinance introduced in the council re pealing three ordinances passed ono year ago ordering tlio relocation of a number of lire hydrants. Mr. Munro said that the question to bo de termined is whether Mr. Venner intended that the company would take up the $ GO-lro ! hydrants and relocate them as intermediate hydrants at $10 per year. Air. Council said that the city could re quire the company under its contract with the city to relocate hydrants , providing the city met the expense. He thought It was uncertain whether , under Mr. Vernier's uropositlon , a relocation of hydrants could bo compelled , making them intermediate hydrants. The letter simply says that JOU hydrants will be relocated upon existing mains. Ho said ho was present at a conver sation between Mayor Rcnils and Mr. Von- i nor , when the letter of the latter was pre sented. Mr. Council understood that the letter was a concession , and his impression at the time was that the hydrants were tc bo relocated as Intermediates. The committee adjourned until 0 o'clocii this morning , for the purpose of securing r copy of the affidavit of Mr. Venner that In did not intend to make a proposition to re locate the hydrants as Intermediates , ani that ho possessed no authority to do so. iiilli-4li > ) ii.ct 'ir : lio.

MdhodUt Mlnl toM DIsriiM the 1)1 * ihlllttc < of tlio Colored CltlriMi , The Methodist ministers of Omaha met estorday afternoon at the Young Men's jhrlstlan association hall and continued the itscusslon of the paper presented at the neelmg last week by Kov. Mr. Parks of the African /ion Methodist Kplaeopal church ipon the southern outrages upon the negro race and the attitude that should bo assumed toward the colored race by the Christian church. Kov. Alfred Hodpetts presented an Inter esting review of the paper , in which ho nd- iiltted the historical statements made in the taper presented by Kov. Mr. Parks , nnd .hen took up tlio causes and the remedies , I'hi' cause of the hardships and Injustice the colored race was compelled to undergo was tliu result of a race strangle , the speaker held. Ho thought that If the col- ired race outnumbered the white race , then he oppression would bo reversed and the whites would be the servants , while the colored people would bo in authority. Tlio einedy would bo supplied linally , ho be loved , bv the triumph of Christian priiu-1- iles as applied to the lives of both the white uid colored rices. An Increase In numbers , more self-reliance , better education and nnro ce.niiino religion would hi ing about the tlual olovatlon of tlio African race. Dr. Uoo spoke at some length nnd held that there was not enough sympathy for the negro race among the white people In the north , lie thought that the future held great promises for the colored race. Kov. T. 1C. Tindall thought that there were some very strong trails of character In the colored race. Some people condemned the negro race because , us a rule , nogroo.i were emotional. Ho considered tlieir emn- tlonal nature as the very crowning feature of their tempiTamont. Colored people were the most Intense Christians , and when they felt a thing in their hearts they had no doubt about it. Kov. Frank Crane believed that the col ored race would grow out of the social dis abilities that surrounded It. Ho believed that these difficulties would correct them selves after a time. It was tlio duty of every Christian man to denounce persecution of the negro race. He believed tint the col ored race would ho obliged to boldly de nounce Injustice and to light. If need be , for their rights. What they neo'leit to do waste to demand the rights and privileges which byIglit belonged to them. Ho had known of a couple of colored men who wore riding in a first-class railway coach in Georgia when the conductor told them that they would have to leave the car , it was not In tended for "nisgers.1' They simply drew their revolvers and inf'irmed the conductor that they had paid their faro and would have the same accommodations as other people on the , -iaiiio train or die in tlie at tempt. They were not molested after tak ing tiiis determined stand. Kov. Mr. Crane's suggestion to the effect that the colored neoplo ought to assert their rights was ( illicitly taken up by Kov. Mr. Parks. lie said that in nine cases out of ten where colored men demanded that which was fair and right while traveling and got into a dispute with the railroad conductor they would simply bo mobbed at the next station. Coloro.l in.'ii in the south who resented an outrage or an insult were simply taking their lives in their bunds when they dared to assort their rights. Kov. Mr. Crane asked why the colored people did not leave the south. Mr. Parks replied that many of them were mechanics and ih it they could not got work in the north because the labor unions would not admit them. This stacmont created con siderable surprise among tlio ministerial brethren. It was a mild sort of sciisatlon in the meetir.ir. Kev. Mr. Paries is a line looKing colored man of cultured appearance and naturally eloquent in speecli and gesture. Ho de fended every position taken In his paper in n masterly manner , and , owing to tlie fact that he talks , not by horesay , but of tilings which ho has actually seen , his words have weight.

The subject of making a fish exhibit at the exposition from May 22 to June II was ta'teu up and thoroughly discussed. H was pointed out that the river water was In such condi tion that it would bo Impossible to sco a fish through It. It was suggested that a ( liter might bo used to clear tlio water , but that plan had been found to bo Impractical. It was finally decided to glvo tip tlio plan of making a fish exhibit. President Papo stated that the space in the Coliseum building was practically all taken , but there v.-as still a few lines of manufacture not represented , and it was proposed to send a committee after them. The hustling committee will start out this morning. The committee having in charco the arrangement rangemont of a program for the opening night of the exposition had received a com munication from Secretary of Acriculture Morton saving that It will afford him preat pleasure to ho present on that occa sion. Mr. Morton expressed himself as very much interested in tlio cause of developing Nebraska's Industries.
