Mayor Bomls'sound Judgment nnd a vig
orously worded veto killed the Barber
asphalt repair claim for ISVJ , amounting to
$10,015.71. The receipt of the vote at the
special mooting last night was a surprise to
the supporters of the asphalt claim. They
were evidently unprepared for It. Some of
the members , notably Councilmen Parker ,
Spocht , Thomas and Bcchol. who have voted
for the dalm every tlmo it has come up ,
wheeled Into line and voted to sustain the
vote , which was as follows !
To TIIK lIoNouAnt.it , TUB CITT COUNCIL or
THE Crrr or OJIAIIA.
Guntlcmon I have the honor to rouort that
I have approved appropriation ordinance
No. 53 , wltii the exception of an Item in
favor of the Barber Asphalt P.iving com
pany of $10fil5.71 for making repairs on
nsphalt streets during the year 1S02 , which 1
have vetoed for tbo following reasons :
First The pretended contract under
which the Barber Asphalt .combany claims
to have made repairs was never made In
pursuance of any advertisement for bids and
was not let to the lowest bidder , as It should
liavo been , and considering tbo manner in
which It was secured I bcliovo the same to
bo fraudulent and void.
Second The price allowed the Barber
Asphalt company for making repairs 1 believe -
liovo to bo excessive.
Third The Barber Asphalt company , has
failed and neglected to keep Its nsphultum
streets in a proper condition of repair. Not
withstanding the fact that the Board
of Public Works has approved of the
work done by the Barber Asphall
company during the year Ib'JS , it is a
notorious fact known to almost every cltizon
In Omnha that many of our oaphaltum
streets during last year , ns well as during
preceding years , wcro ubglcctcd and loft in a
disgraceful condition. It Is also well known
that many of our streets which have been
paved with asphaltum still remain in suoh
condition. I believe that if the Barber As
phalt company is to receive pay for the entire
tire surface of certain paveo. streets it shouh
kcop such streets in a proper condition o
repair before It can reasonably demand pav
according to the contraotjr.itcs even thougl
aid contract was a valid ono.
Fourth For the reason that said Barbo
Asphalt company , In order to kcop its pretended
tended contract In force and to prevent the
city from abrogating tbo same , has com
menced a suit acalnst the members of the
*
Board of Public Works to enjoin the cancella
tion of said contract and to compel specific
performance of the same by the city , nnd has
thereby prevented and restrained the city
from cancelling said contract , as It longslnco
should have done.
Fifth It is a matter of record ns well as
of common notoriety that for many months
prior to the period of time covered by this
Item of 10.515.71 the Barber Asphalt com
pany willfully ignored the orders of the
Board of Public Works , relating to tbo repairs
of asphalt streets and refused to take repairs
which had been ordered by said board. As
tbo result of said willful refusal and neglect
on the part of the Barber Asphalt company
to make repairs , the claims of the Barber
Asphalt company were disallowed and have
never been paid , nor has any action over
been commenced in the courts by the Barber
Asphalt company whereby its rights and the
rights of the city under said contract could
bo determined.
I am thoroughly convinced that no allow-
once should ho made to the Barber Asphalt
company for repairs on asphalt streets until
It has llrst been determined by the courts
whether the so-called repair contracts of
the Barber Asphalt company is valid nnd
binding oh the city. If it is not binding it
Is manifest that the Barber Asphalt com
pany can only recover the fair reasonable
amount for the repairs by it actually mado.
For the reasons stated , and until a final
decision of the courts Is obtained , I bclievo
that no allowance whatever should bo made
to the Barber Asphalt company for any re
pairs.
The roll call on the vote proceeded without
Interruption until Air. Howcll's name was
reached. Ho said ho was glad to know that
his confidence in the mayor's Judgment was
not displaced. Mr. Parker said the samo.
Tbo other members voted without the cus
tomary explanation.
The vote on sustaining the vote was as fol

Nr.\v YOIIK , Juno 23. John W. Maekay Is
not a man who gossipy much about the
financial condition of those who llko himself
are great capitalists , but ho is reported 'to
have said some months ago that Ixiland
Stanford was the richest man west of the
Mississippi river , and that his estate would
bo found probably tc , bo greater rather than
less than the figures which common
report has named as the amount of
it. The general impression hero U th.U
Scuator Stanford was n wealthier man than
any of these who nro the owners of
great fortunes in Now York , excepting Cor
nelius and William 1C. Vandorbtlt , the two
Asters , William Waldorf and John Jacob ,
John U. Rockefeller , nnd if Mr. Gould's es
tate Is to be considered as practically di
vided property that is probably larger than
the wealth which Senator Stanford died
possessed of. U. O. Mills may possiblv bo as
rich a man as Senator Stanford , but whether
C. P. Iluntlngton is or not ho nlono knows.
The Hopkins rstato was considerably less
than that which Senator Stanford is bo-
llovod to have loft , and the Goolets of this
city , rich as they are in real estate , are not
estimated to bo the owners of moro than
$ .10,000.000. Mr. Mackay's assertion that
Mr. Stanford was the richest man upon the
Pacific slope was taken is an Intimation
that Maekay bollovcd his own wealth to bo
much less than that , of Mr. Stanford.
What will become of the Hopkins millions
is it question which capitalists hero are ask-
tig ) ono another with some rather curious
comments. It Is reported that Mr. Soarles ,
who Inherited through the widow of Mark
Hopkins some $20,000,000 , has become an
actual recluse , having built n great wall
around the estate at Great Barrington ,
Mass. , whereby ho keeps himself concealed
from thu world and passes his time In medi
tation and such literary pursuits as doltght
him. Ills lawyers manage the estate , they
control ono newspaper in this city , nnd there
are intimations that Mr. Soarlos has in con
templation the bequeathing of so much of it
as is left after ho dies to establish some
great public benefaction ,
The combination of capital on a great scale
which up" to March 1 last was so frequent
that oven associations of capitalists representing
senting as much as $100,000,000 failed to ox-
clto comment , slnco the novelty was gone ,
1ms been checked by these financial troU'
blcs. Therefore the report that a comblna
tlon of capitalists seemed to control th (
electric railway business of the state of Nov
Jersey and involving perhaps a captali/.a !
lion of as much as $100,000.000 , and pcrhap ;
more , has excited n great deal of intcres
here. It is not known who all the capital
ists are who have taken part In this enter
prise. John D. Crimmlns , who is the head
of the New York company which
is controlled by the Philadelphia
syndicao nnd which alms to secure every
street car line In New York excepting the
ono owned by the Vanderbilts , is ono of the
greater capitalists Interested In this combi
nation and has been ono of the chief promoters
meters of the plan- The avowed purpose of
this organization is the connection of some
of these surburban cittos which lie within a
radius of twcnty-llvo miles from the city
ball In Now York on the west side of the
Hudson river. There is a population of more
than 5011,000 In these cities , und the estimate
of the promoters of this gigantic enterprise i
is that oven upon so great a capitalization i
as $50,000,000 the consolidated electric rail
way systems will pay handsomely.
The profits which a rapid transit system
may furnish to these who own it when it is
built In tno midst of a rapidly growing com
munity are illustrated by a proposition
which the owners of the Metropolitan rail
way company are now considering. They
propose before long to issue a stock dividend
of some $0,000,000 , , nnd they will Justify this
issue on the ground that It represents capi
talization property , since It provides for a
permanent obligation of the company ropro-
scnting the vast sums of money which have
been - paid to these whoso property has boon
injured by the erection of the elevated
structures.

Tbo annual picnic hold y6sterday after
noon and evening at Courtland beach by the
members of the three councils of Hoyal
Arcanum of Omaha and South Omaha was a
most delightful success In every respect.
Although the weather looked somewhat
.lowering , the attendance was largo. The
games und sports wore taken up promptly
on tune nnd went through with a snap and
zeal that was highly entertaining. The
program of sports was announced
to begin nt 4 o'clock. Long before
that hour there were scores of
gentlemen nnd their ladies on the grounds
nnd ready for the fun. Arrangements had
been made with the management of the
beach for the exclusive use of the upper
floor of the pavilion for members of the
Arcanum. This made tin admirable place
for viewing iho races and for lunch prior to
the tlmo of dancing.
With the exception of the rowing race , the
tub race and the swimming match , the foot
races nnd other contests took place on the
broad drive In front of the pavilion nnd
along the bench between the lake
nnd the pavilion. The first contest
called was the "topf-schlagcn" ir.ntoh.
It Is a German sport and consists of blind
folding a number of men and letting them
strike a certain number of times at a row of
bottles on the ground. The "man who suc
ceeds in breaking the most bottles in a given
time is declared the winner. W. B. Perry of
South Omaha succeeded in smashing about
everything in sight during the onslaught
and was awarded the prize , consisting of a
case of assorted pickles presented by tbo
Godnoy Pickle company.
The eiuoit pitching contest was won by
D.ilo Graham , who walked away with a line
bos of cigars donated by Etcher & Kipllngor.

or two and they took homo the prize , consist
ing of a pair of solid silver miniature oars

When the gent's sack race was called the
faces of the entire multitude began to grow
broader under the anticipation of fun ahoad.
There wcro nine starters In tlio race and
after bobbing about and hopping along over
the race course llko so many decapitated
chickens for about ono minute and a half ,
C. U. Hurley Hopped his frame across the
goal considerably In advance of any of
'
his competitor's. A dispute arose
as to whether the winner was
the man who got to the goal first stundingl
rolling or crawling , or the man who got
there first on his feet without falling at all
It was linally agreed that Is was a go-as-you-
please race and the man who reached the
goal first in any manner whatever , Just so ho
kept the sack on , was the winner. Mr ,
Hurley took home a line pair of slippers
donated for the contest by Drcxel & Uoscu

There must have boon something like

Miss Emma Potter , a falr-hulrod lass of
about 14 , carried off the prize consisting of a
box of fruit tablets donated by the Cudahy
Packing company. The boys' race was won
by Herman Metz.
Then all eyes were turned toward the boat

After lunch , which some enjoyed in the pa
vilion nnd others under the trees on the
lawn , the band began to fill the air with
snatches of melody nnd dancing began.
Those who did not care to dance took to the
boats or the bathing suits , and for an hour
or moro there was moro fun in that vicinity
than could bo piled up on a ton-aero lot. The
switchback was kept humming , the refresh
ment department mot with a rush all along
the line and everything went merry as a

Pioneer council ; F. A. Broad well of the

, making the picnic an enjoyable affair.
THEY DON'T AGREE.
County Clerk and County Treasurer Look
ing Through Different Ulamos.
There Is a storm gathering in the vicinity
of the court house and it has boon brought
on by the fact that the commissioners have
instructed the county treasurer and the
county cleric to comply with the law , rcla-
live to the making and koooiug the duplicate
tax Hats and receipts of the treasurer's of-
fico. What the result will bo noouo will attempt -
tempt to predict until aftur the clouds roll
by I'.iul peace has been restored In the sev
eral departments.
Titu Dr. 12 gave recently notice that the
commissioners had authorize ? the clerk and
the auditor to make up the lists and also
uubllsh some of the opinions of the treas
urer , relative to the cost of the work and
d the future expense that would have to bo
Incurred by following out such a plan.
Chairman Stenburg Jumped into the arena
, to say that the county treasurer was talking
through his tile and that the now departure
was something that was Intended to bo u
. crent saving to the taxpayers of the county.
In the first pluco Mr. Steuborg iraints to the
tact that when the American National bank
- wont to the wall the treasurer gave
it out that there was only 20,000
tied up in the suspension , when
in fact Iho sum aggregated $77,011,60 , of
which nearly one-half belonged to the gen
eral fund , Ho R.tys that hoent to the of
; fice of the county treasurer for the purpose
of getting figures on the amount of the deposit -
- posit and that it was fully ono week before
lie could sccuro the iufoiumtion. .Thls , one
. matter , thu chairmun says , shows the neces
sity of having a duplicate set of books.
During all of the tlmo when the large
amount of money was in thu bank1 , Avprrants
111 were boinif presented and payment refused ,
- simply fur the reason that the treasurer
did not know the condition of the funds.
Hud ho known their conditions , he could
y have drawn against this account nnd
stopped the interest on at least 15,000 of
ho the warrants drawn against the general
fund , und which have been hawked about
the streets for months. Further than this ,
the chairman states that large sums ol
Ut money are in thn other banks of the city ,
in- und that every day warrants are presented
nuil pa.Miu-nt refused , simply because the
-
costodian of the general fund does not
u know how much money the county 1ms to iti
credit.
Under the proposed plan the cUeck will be
so complete that oachTtcok the cotnmls-
sinners ran tell ot n glaneo just the amount
of money that romaln ' 'lh the troasitry and
can order warrants ptfWMn accordance with
the bnlnnco as shown ? 'by tbo statement.
Not only this , but at" the jatno time they
an toll the amount ot 'tho uncollected tax
and flguro accordingly. " "
All of the commUslono'rs and the clerk are
of the opinion that that.tho county will save
enough in Interest alqpb , during the next
year , to pay for making up the books which
will bo needed. To shoV that the now plan
s business , they mint to the fact
hat the city pursues exactly such
n plan ; that U collects and
disburses more money .than . the county
nnd that there nro less clerks than in the
ofllco of the county treasury nt the present
In the city treasurer's ofllco , ono man at
tends to the making of the triplicate re
ceipts nnd makes them out by working half
an hour each day. which fact the commis
sioners think will explode the statement
that the additional work will require the
services of two additional clerks In Mr.
Iroy'a ofllco.
Ono of the commissioners said that the
statement that they could hnvo the books nt
any tlmo for the purpose of chocking up the
cash sounded well , but that U was not true.
Ho had boon into the ofllco for the purpose of
doing the work , but bad always been unable
to get hold of the books' ) for the reason that
they were In uso.

With n Homo Grown ( Menu ,
It was to bo supposed that tbo members of
, Manufacturers \ and Consumers assocla-
, Ion know nil there was to know about No-
iraska manufactures , but they had an ox-
jorlonco yesterday noon that was a rovela-
Ion in that line o > cn to them. Just as It was
iO several guests of the association who ac
cepted the Invitation to uartako of the
'Homo Industry Lunch , " served under the
auspices and direction of that organization.
The lunch was served nt 12:30 in tno lodge
room on the seventh floor of TUB BUB bulld

everything on the table was of Nebraska

The idea of setting out n purely Nebraska
lunch originated with Secretary Holmes ,
nnd it was the greatest kind of a success in
every particular. Members had cheerfully
rospou/lcd to the request to so send in their
respective products for tbo lunch , and when
they finally took their places around the
long tables that extended the full length of
the room , they were treated to a most pleas
ant surprise , for there was hardly a man of
them who , oven after witnessing the great
and varied exhibits at the recent exposition ,
had any idea that such a variety of edibles
were manufactured in this stato. There
was everything necessary for a llrst class
lunch ; in fact , there were so many things
that it was impossible for ono individual to
sample thorn all.
Tbo tables were very attractively ar
ranged , pyramids of the lightest rolls , bis
cuit , broad and sandwiches being relieved by
cut ( lowers and natty bottles of condiments.
In stand trays across the room were huge
blocks of ico. in which were imbedded
great bowls of Iced tea , the whole beauti
fully garnished with striilax nnd roses.

JUDGE SCOTT LECTURES THE CONVICTS

In the Prn 1'ntly Orrnptoit IF Ho ( loll
on the Criminal Ilonch DUtrlet
Conrt Dumps.
Yesterday morning Judge Scott called An
nie Urown into court and sentenced her to n
term of seven years for having killed Holla
Monda Arnold , The case was tried nt this
term of the court and the Drown woman was
convicted of manslaughter , the charge being
that while both women were In n disorderly
nouso on Ninth , street n row broke out nnd
the Brown woman picked up a lamp from n
table nnd throw it at Hella Arnold. When
It struck her It exploded nnd the ell bur nod
her so severely that she died a f ow hours
later.
In passing sentence the Judge said that the
prosecuting attorney erred in charging the
crime nnd that the Information should have
charged murder In the second degree In-
plead ot manslaughter , and then directing
his attention to tbo defendant ho read her n
lecture Which was Intended for the other
disorderly chat-actors of the city. Ho said :
"It seems that you nnd others scorn to
think that you can carry on your nightly
orelcs , terrifying the whole city nnd making
it unsafe for n man to walk along Ninth
street nftcr nightfall. This Is nn
appalling spectacle to bo tolerated in
a city that exists in a Christian land ,
whore It is to bo presumed that law nnd
order prevails. I say that It Is appalling to
think that you and other women nnd also
men of your color will conduct yourselves in
such a munnor , when it Is a f.ict that this
country has expended billions of money and
that enough mon to make two states have
laid down their lives that you might have
your freedom and equal rights with these
who possess a lighter complexion.
"It you wanted to bo , you could bo Just as
respectable as any white woman , and right
here I want to say that I have a good deal
more respect for you than I have for a
white woman who engages In the occupation
which you have boon following. If you wcro
a whlto woman I would give you the full
limit of tbo law , but as you have not -liad
the benefit of a moral education , 1 am com
pelled to lot you oil with a lighter sontonco.
"If I live and have charge of tbo criminal
docket next year I shall give you plenty of
company nt Lincoln , as 1 have determined
that the people of this city pay enough
money into the treasury each year to entitle
them to that protection which will make
their persons ami their property so safe that
they can walk any of the streets and at nny
time oC night without fear of molestation. "

In the case of the state against Bernard
Kohn , charged with having secreted a largo
quantity of goods with the intent of defraud
ing his creditors , Judge ICoysor sustained
the motion to quash tbe information and the
case was dismissed. The case prow out of
the Kohn & Harris failure and , after the
attachments had issued , the sheriff found
the goods secreted in the basement of a store
room on Fifteenth street. Yesterday the
case went out of court on account of an error
of the county attorney. In the police court ,
where ho Hied the information and whcro
the preliminary examination was hold , be
failed to charge the amount of tbo goods so
secreted. The court hola that this was a
fatal defect In the information.

Abigail A. Brotherton , administratrix of
tbo estate of HiramS. Brotherton , deceased ,
has v brought suit against the Manhattan
Beach Improvement association in an action
to recover the sum of $5,000 dnmngos , alleg
ing that the members of the association
wcro responsible for the drowning of her
son In Lake Mauawa on August 8 , 1893.
To prove that the members were responsible
Ebo avers that on t'ao day before mentioned
the lad went to the lake to bathe , atid thai
wjiilo there ho hired a bathing suit and wenl
out into the water. In addition to this she
alleges that the beach company failed to pul

into the deep water. On account of this
failure , Hiram went out whore the water
was ten foot deep and there was drowned
Moreover she , nvors that the management
failed to provide the moans for rosuscitatinf

District Court Cnlllnjrs.
Judge Ferguson is still confined to his
room by sickness , and it is doubtful if he
will be on the bench again during the present
ent term.
The dismissal docket for the term was
called Dy Judco Scott yesterday , and for
various reasons 289 cases went out of court
This was the largest dismissal docket tha
was over presented in the history of the
county.
G. D. Blakoloy and Albert B. Persingor
have sued Frank Johnson , the former for
370 , and the latter for $051. The suits grow
out of the failure of the Sidney bank
- which occurred in June , 1889 , and ol
. which bank Johnson was the president.
In the case of the state against Ber
Foley , a saloon man who was convicted o
having kept his drinking place open between
- the hours of midnight and 4 o'clock in the
morning , the motion for a now trial was
overruled. The motion for the new trial was
based upon the fact that in the district court
ho did not Introduce In evidence the pro
, visions of the elty ordinances regulating the
running of saloons.
Miller & Stotcnborg , charged with having
sold liquor to n minor and convicted of that
charge , wcro given a new trial. In the police
court the information charecd that wino
was the liquor sold , but when the case WAS
reached for trial In the district court , on
motion of , the county attorney , the informa
tion was amended by striking , out the word
"wlno'1 and Inserting the words "whisky and
brandy. " The court hold that the amend
ing of the information to that extent com
pelled the defendants to plead to an entirely
different crime than the ono with which they
were charged in the lower court.
