bumpers catching Livingston by the heat ]
crushed it to a pulp. It was quite dark al
thu time and no 0110 particularly was found
by ttio coroner's Jary to bo to blame , but the
accident wa duo to the lack ol uniformity
in the height of drawheads of various rail
road systems.
liuhop Itonacum' * Troubles.
Excitement is still nt fever heat among
the local Catholics over the doposal of Father
Loughran us rector of St. Theresa's pro-
cathedral , and a meeting will bo hold to
morrow to discuss the matter , the following
notice signed by John Fit/gorald , John P.
Sutton , T. G. Kelly. Charles J..McGlavo nnd
James J. Condon having boon sent to the
various newspaper oflices :
"To TUB MKMHEIIS or ST. Tiir.ucsVs Cox-
niuoATiox : , CITV oi' LINCOLN : Au important
iTiecting will bo held at Hibernian hull ,
Thirteenth and P streets , at ! 1 o'clock Sun
day afternoon , to take suitable action rela
tive to the removal of Hov. Francis L.
Loughran from the rectorship of the pro-
cathodrnl. It is urgently requested that
every member of the congregation , tboth
nalo and female , bo present. " "
It also develops that Father Qulnn , ono of
he priests who had signed the manifesto to
jatolll , Is having moro trouble with the
jlahop. Ho had bocn originally removed
rom a mission , unjustly us ho claimed , and
ono of the clauses of the agreement which
iatolli compelled lionacum to sign at Omaha
Wednesday wai a promise'on the part of the
lishop to restore him to as good a mission as
.ho . ono from which ho had been removed.
Yesterday Father Quinn called upon the
bishop to find out to what mission ho jn-onosod
sending him , but no sooner hud the bishop
caught sight of him In his room than , ac
cording to the father's story , ho How into a
rage and ordered him out of the house ,
threatening to kick him out if ho did not im-
ncdlatcly depart , and doniandluc to know
tiow ho dared comu Into } ) ta houso.
The father replied that It was not neces
sary for him to use force , that ho would ro-
tiro. Ha did so , und immediately tele
graphed the interview to Satolli nt St. Paul ,
is lie had boon Instructed to do , the delegate
evidently anticipating the bishop's action.
Later , rocognUing that ho mudu u mistake ,
the bishop sent Father MeShane to Father
Qulnn with word that ho could say mass ut
St. Elizabeth hospital in this city tomorrow.
Father Loughrau refuses to talk , saying
that thu only error made in the reported in
terview was in slating that the bishop hud
given him his oxoat without his asking for it.
It was at his own request that it was glvon
him. Ho has sent the fuels In the matter to
Archbishop Satolli , und aomo interesting
communication from him la being hourly an-
tlcipated.
Mooro'i Authority.
Section 3 of the law under which Mr Gar-
no.iu net.i provides : "Tho appropriation
provided for in this act can only ho drawn
from the state treasury on estimates made
by thu commissioner general , and no ono es
timate shall exceed the sum of $5,000 ex
cept lu the case of emergency , and then only
on approval by the governor , showing the
items of expenditure paid by htm , giving the
data paid , to whom and for what purpose
each item has been luid. Kach estimate
uhall bo accompanied by a detailed state
ment of thu expenditures with proper
vouchers. "
Under the provisions of this section Aud
itor Moore feels that ho is made the judge
as to whether or not the vouchers are proper
ones , us upon him devolves the reipon-
stbllUy if money ia paid out upon
improper vouchers , and bo quotes
as hU authority for the impression
ho entertains in tills rospeot an opinion of
the supreme vourt , filed March isu , lb'J3 , in
the case of the state ox rel J. S. Dales , stew
ard of the State university , against Kugeno
Mooro. This case is ona involving exactly
the same questions as the Garnoau case. In
it was bet up an agreed state of facts. Dales
sot up that ho was steward of the univer
sity und secretary of the Board or Hogonta.

proof library building ; that under
this authority the university authorities
entered Into a contract with Abraham Uos-
enborry of Omaha in tlio sum of $ SO,91S , for
the erection of the building , to bo completed
byDocomhor , 1893 ; that said Hosonborry
had begun work under the contract and had
completed work and furnished materials and
rendered services to the amount of about
$20.000 ; that work -was suspended about the
middle of December because of cold weather
and had not been resumed for that reason ;
that the contractor would resume wnrk as
soon as the weather would permit ; that
tliero remained unexpended of the appro
priation 813,0(58 , ( ; that thorolator , on the t9th !
of March , 18U3 , drew a certificate and
voucher for the unexpended balance , no ob-
oction being made by the auditor to
.ho form of the same nor the amount specified.
I'ho object of this action on thu part of the
university authorities was to pot the money
out of the treasury under the mistaken ido.1
.hat the appropriation would lapse before
the contract could bo completed.
Auditor Mooro-roturned the vouchers , de
clining to pay the same at that time for the
reason that it nowhuro appeared that the
work had boon clone , materials furnished or
services rendered upon which the amount
could apply. Ho doelinod to pay the money
.n advance.
Dales asked for an order upon the auditor
requiring him to pay the money ever , but the
supreme court said in its opinion :
fioctlou 2 of the net provides that : "Tho .
auditor of public accounts Is lioroby authorIzed - '
Izod und rrijulrcd upon the presentation of the
proper vouchers to draw his warrant on the
stated funds , und iitfalnst the appropriation as
made In Hcotion 1 of tills net , In favor of the
party performing the sorvlcu , for the amount
duo , and such warrant slmll glvo the iiamo of
thu person und nature of tlio service. "
The court further defines the term
voucher , " when usnu In connection with the
disbursement of money , to moan a written
or printed instrument In the nature of a hill
of particulars , account , etc. , which shows on
what account and by what authority a par
ticular payment has been mado.
It will bo observed [ said the court ] that the
auditor l.s authorized to draw his warrant only
In thoio caius whoio the proper vouchers are
presented to him. The warrants are to ho
druwn from time to time as may bo required ,
the Illln of vouchers buInH the evidence upon
which thu auditor Is to net. There Is no
authority for the bociotury of the Hoard of
Itogunts to draw any portion of the appropria
tion nxcuptiiH he may present voucher * for
work or material expended In the prosecution
of the contract ,
The court also cites the following from the
Twenty-second Nebraska , page ! i3 , In the
case of State ox rol James against Babcock -
cock : '
Tim constitution of the state rcnulroH that
nil claims upon the state treasury must bu ox-
amlned and adjusted by thu auditor , und his
action approved by the seciotury of Htato , l > e-
fore any warrant can bo drawn therefor. This
provision applies to all claims , whether
claimed by virtue of u specific appropriation
or not.
In His recent opinion in the impeachment
Jud.go Norral intimates that ho seriously
questions the right to pay out an appropria
tion iu lump sums.
I.uncuitor'i Saline Lands ,

ing sallno lands , 11,134 acres will bo subject
