Into n number of | x t- ofllcoa In lownvcro brought before the United States commissioner yesterday moru- Ing for a hearing. CJooixo MeGlnnli , Charles Cnso and James Davis were Klvcn a preliminary hearing , Uuxtrr of the many aliases having In sisted on a separate hearing , which will bo plvon July . Postmaster Hocpf- llnccr of IJonlson was the first wit ness to testify. Ills safe was blown open on the night of May 0 and $10 la money and S2oO worth of postage stamps wore stolen. Ninety dollars worth of the stamps were afterwards found hidden In the tool-house- the Northwestern railway company a short distance west of IDcntson. IJy the testimony of Pullman , the section boss , J. C. Sparks , an engineer , and Ogden , a brnUcinnii , it was learned that the tool- house had been broken open during the night and a hand car was stolen which par ried some DUO to Arlon , cloven miles cast. There three men boarded a freight to go to Jefferson. Oniccrs Stevens , Watt und An derson of the Hoono police force recognized two of the men who were on trial as Iriviug been in town that day , and they were also Identilled by the trainmen. \Vn Click Hiiro of IIU Mnn. The most interesting feature ot the hear ing was the testimony of a man named ISfeamp , who ICCOIH a second-hand store at Hoono. Ho stated that a man , ho was sure It was MeOinnls , approached him and wanted to sell him a rubber coat for § 2. After considerable siderabletallc back and forth Efcamp offered him SI for the coat , but McGinnls said ho needed S2. Ho finally pulled out a bundle of 2-cnit postngo stamps from an Inside pocket , and counting out sixty of them , offered them to him for 50 cents. At this Efcamp became suspicious and refused to buy anything of htm. htm.H. H. T. Spaiks , the postmaster at Jefferson , tcstjlled that his safe had also been blown open on the night of April 2(5. ( Sheriff J. E. Dodge or Jefferson identified Duvis us having been In Jefferson on the day In question. Several times during the course of the hoarlnc evidence was introduced to show that Baxter was also mixed up In the tran saction , but Baxter objected vigorously and as gracefully as many lawyers would have done it. to ttio introduction of such testi mony. In view of the fact that his hearing would not come off for two weeks. His ob jections were sustained by the commissioner. Inspector Mercer testified that ho had tried drills which were found in tlio posses sion of members of the gang when arrested at Lincoln , and that they corresponded exactly with the holes made In more tnan a dozen safes which had been blown open during the last six months. Knocked the GIIHO Kndwnya. After all the evidence was in on-tho side of the government Davis nskcd to bo put on the stand , and his evidence was something of an eye-opener to the witnesses who had seen him so many times on the day of the robbery. Ho said that ho was taken Into custody bv the sheriff of Gage county , Nebraska , March 18 , on the charge of petit larceny , and served a sixty day sentence in Jail there , being released May 18. His statement was corroborated by Sheriff Keunan of Gage county. McGin- nls also testified that ho was arrested in Omaha May J , and served out a thirty-day sentence there. His statement was borne out by Deputy Sheriff Bennett of Douglas county. At the close of the hearing Commissioner Steadman discharged Davis and McGinnis , wlD&o ) real name is Monroe , but held Case to the federal grand Jury urbonds in the sum of $1,500. The Instant the word "dis.- chargeu" was pronounced Davis jumped up and slid for the door. Ho had a good reason for haste , as subsequent developments showed. An information was llled in Justice Vicn's court several days ago charging him with complicity in the burglary of Mrs. Met- calf's house with Baxter and the theft of her diamonds. Through an all around mis understanding tno warrant was not served , mid Davis is now far enough away to render it very unlikely that ho will bo re-captured. IIOSTON 8TOKI2. Fothcrlnnham.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Oity Scions Moot ami Rovolro the Wheels of Business' JACK LEONARD'S ILL-STARRED LUCK linker's IrunlIoU In the I'lrc AVoollclt U Cuptnrod ( lomlp ( Inlhcrod Ituitlcr. In the absence of Mayor Walker , -who Is taking In the World's fair , President Wood occupied the chair at the regular meeting of the South Omaha city council last night.

Bills amounting to f 01 were allowed , Pat Broshlnan petitioned the council to allow him to transfer his I'tpior ' license from Twcntjlitth ami Q streets to 81)31 ) Q street. An ordinance was Introduced creating grading district No. 11. E. w. Tichnor presented a bill to the coun cil for $1,000 as damages , alleged to hnvo been dune to his household goods during the recent rain storm , caused by careless and worthless paving. Tlchnor's restaurant was located in the Brega block at Twenty- seventh and N streets. Referred to the city attorney. Charley Splltt , who was formerly city garbage master , presented n bill for S115. Referred to the city attorney. City Engineer King presented his final es timate of the cost of paving L street from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-seventh. Hugh Murphy was the contractor. The engineer's figures are as follows : Four thousand four hundred and ninety- ono square vards , charccablo to district nt $1.00 per yard , # 3,5:14.04 : ; extras , charccablo to district , * lr > 03.CS , making $10,012.72 , less 1(1 ( per cent , leaving S'lMt2 ) ) ! ; former es timates. 1,242.87 ; balance now duo , chargea ble to district , $7,1)40.45 ) ; intersections , $3- 104.04 : less 10 per cent reserve , $310.40 : bal ance now due.chargcablu to district , $2,810.47. Wyman Introduced a resolution transferring $000 from the occupation fund to the ( J street viaduct fund , and the same was ordered paid to Parks & Bros , , the contractors doing that work. Wyman moved that $75 bo transferred from the occupation fund to pay D. A. Pierce and Henry Dltzen for extra work performed In making out the assessment rolls. Carried. Councilman Wyman introduced a resolu tion to the effect that the city attorney bo instructed to draw up an ordinance ordering water mains laid from Twenty-second and Q streets isouth to Twenty-second nnd S , thence cast to Twentieth , thence to Bollvuo avenue , south to Madison and east one block , fourteen plugs In all. The cost , ho said , would bo in the neighborhood of $300 a year. This ho considered a small item in comparison to the demand of water m case of fire. The people over In Brown park and Albright needed flrt protection badly. That section had been damaged heavily in the past by fire , all because there was no water. Bulla and Conloy said the proposi tion should go over for ono wceK , as there were other sections needed Ilro pings , nnd they could nil bo ordered at once. The reso lution was adopted. The Postal Telegraph company came infer for an all around roast by several members for not filling up largo and dangerous holes where they liivo removed the poles and failed to plank them over. Wyman had his improvement clothes on last night nnd introduced a resolution that the city attorney bo instructed to draft an ordinance requiring the layintr of a sidewalk of stone or some other good material on bcth sides of U street from Twenty-fourth to Twtlnty-seventh. Ho said that the pres ent walks would be a disgrace to a small village and that in passing over them in places one would imagine they were passing over a pontoou bridge. The resolution was adopted. Bruce moved that the council sit as a board of equalization on Juno 21) ) , July 2 and 3 for the purpose of discussing the special tax on sloping banks , sidewalks and grading. Ho did not get a second and the matter will go over for one week. Bilker's J.uiul ) . "That man Frlckie , " said an old resident to a Bnu reporter yesterday , "is a thrifty old farmer and I am surprised that ho would bo foolish enough to lot any ono fleece him out of his money. Ho is rich today aNid has made it all farming in this neighborhood. I remember the day ho bought the first 100 acres of land he ever owned. After the price was acreed upon in Omaha Frickio said ho would have to go out to the farm to got his money. Ho started and in a few hours he came back with the full amount , something like S'2,500 , all In shin plaster , not a piece of which was greater than GO cents. It made a wad as big as a bale of hay. The old follow and -his wife had saved this out of money received for butter , eggs , chickens and garden truck raised on rented ground. They had the money plained somewhere on the placenot u cent of it being in the banlc. " Thrown I < 'roni n City Clerk Ditzcn and Charley Splitt were thrown from a buggy at 30th and Q streets last evening and both were painfully in jured. Mr. Ditzen was unable to attend the council meeting last night , but escaped with out any bones being broken. Mr. Splitt sus tained boveral broken ribs. Ho Is a large , heavy man nnd is suffering much pain. At the time of the accident the men were en deavoring to evade a runaway horso. when their buggy was upset and both men were dashed out. John Rcoan , a man employed at the pack ing house , claims that ho was held up by footpads on Sunday night and relieved of $2 in cush and bis pockotknife. The men stuck n gun in his face and told him to deliver - liver over what money he had und ho did so. Lost In the I'lre. Mrs. Pierce , n lady who has furnished rooms on the third floor of the Lister block , sustained moro damage by the recent Bra than was at first reported , and as the lady had no Insurance the loss will full heavily upon her. She had just fitted up the rooms on'that floor and tbo carpets and furniture in all of them were moro or less damaged by water and falling cluster. The flro "orig inated on this floor , and had It not been for the prompt and thoughtful action of this lady the whole building would have burned. The work she din with n few buckets of water before the ilromcn arrived prevented a gcrloin conflagration. Her loss Is about $250 , and as the woman works hard for her living she feels the effects very much. .lack's lluril I.uck. Leonard , hotter known as "Wiener- Jack , " is In bard luck. Two weeks , , lie night of the heavy rain storm , Jack climbed onto the root of his shack at tbo foot of N street to stop a leak , when he foil to the ground In such a manner as to break his jaw. He bad not recovered from the effects of this Injury when ho was ar rested on complaint of John Snlvcly for not purchasing tugs for his dogs. Saturday ho was placed m the station houre , but was so sick over Sunday that ho was yesterday taken to St. Joseph's hospital. His condition Is very critical and it Is doubt ful If old Jack's familiar voice will over bo heard again on the corners ho has haunted with his woinerwurst basket for years. Mnlo | City tiomlp.
