Ho U Dropped Cram tlio IlniiKi
of Titled lullorn ,
Jesse Blake Is n Knight of Labor no more.
Ho has been reduced to the ranVs of an
ovoryduy plebeian , In accordance with n de
cision rendered early Sunday morning by
the stern Judge presiding over local 5141
Knights of Lrfibor court , established to try
issues between contending brothers and
sisters In that order.
When THE Dr.B first published the news
that the Joncs-ninkoaffair had reached that
stage where a secret tribunal would bo
called upon to decide whether Mrs. Jones or
Mr. Hlako should longer enjoy knlglithood
in tlio order of the tolling masses , It created
a scntatlon In organized labor circles.
Only tlio prosecution's side was repre
sented on the date first sot. defendant's at
torney having loft for Lincoln to.-Utcnd the
state labor congress. Tlio hearing was ,
therefore , postponed until last Saturday.
Certain charges which Mrs. Jones , n dress
maker , ronsldercd damaging to her charac
ter , furnished the basis for the action.
On Monday , a week ago , the matter
was again taken up in n meeting
but counsel prevailed to lot It go over to
Saturday. Streaks of pore on the mooa had
developed by this time nnd were plainly vlsl-
bio to the miked eye. IJoth sides claimed
that Injustice nail been done them , and tlio
feeling became moro nnd moro embittered ns
time went on and more friends gathered to
ono or the other side to do battle.
The climax of all this was not oven canpcd
by the decision of expulsion. The warfare
still continues , as notice of an appeal has
been clvcn. This will bring the matter before -
fore the court of District assembly No. ISO ,
and more interesting dotaiU are promised in
the future.
At the trial last Satin day the prosecution
nnd the defense were present nnd repre
sented by attorneys. Master Workman
Cohen looked after the case la his capacity
ns Judge advocate , with A. F.uvkncr us his
assistant and especially engaged to prose
cute in tlio interest of tlio complaining wit
ness , while D. Clem Denver , single handed
and alone , faced the array of legal talent on
the other side nnd defended the charges , or
rather endeavored to prove the correctness
of the report for which his client was Doing
hauled over tlio burning coals.
The admission of several affidavits by the
defendant formed the ground upon which
tlio battle for awhile was fought but not
won by tlio accused. Although ruled
admissible , the solemnly acknowledged
documents only turned the tide in Mr.
Blake's favor for a short space of time.
They and their contents were literally
torn to shreds by the assistant prosecutor In
his closing argument to protect what ho con
sidered a virtuous woman's reputation. The
attorney for the occasion waxed eloquent at
times In his scathing denunciations of the
defendant nnd In his zeal for his client his
efforts were crowned with success whcta
Judge Erdman's decision was shortly after
announced.
As a laboring man stated today Terence
V. Powderly may yet hear and bo called
upon to decide tills famous' Omaha defama
tion of character case.

Judco llorkn VRBKOH Sentence Upon Seventy
Violators of tlin Law.
When Judge Berka donned the robes of
authority in the police court yesterday morn
ing ho found that Chief Seavcy's ofllccrs had
rounded up about seventy people , who ropro-
icnt that class of people who are not gener
ally useful citizens. Tramps , vagrants , frail
females , thieves , drunkards and nil the
grades of the petty criminal classes were
crowded together in the prisoners'
floclt. The JudRO carefully adjusted his
specs , and assuming that stern look
the law breakers know means a big line for
the offender , called out the names of
Arthur Lacy and Herbert Crockermnu.
"You fellows are charged \\ttk having n
chronic aversion for manual labor. Each of
you looks like an honorary member of the
United Sons of Host. What nave you to
ay in answer to the charge ? "
One of the follows said ho wns a snow
shovclcr by trade nnd the other replied
that ho was only a plain vagrant.
"Thirty days each in the county Jail , "
said his honor. "Call the next case , sergeant , "
and the mills of Justice began to grind.
George Ellis , ono of the gang captured at
the United States hotel Saturday night , bad
n gun which made him lop shouldered to
carry around. Tlio ofllcera think they want
him for a moro serious charge , and tlio Judge
continued the cnso until the ofUccrs could
loolc up Ellis' record moro fully.
Clara Doe , alias Nellie Unvcnkamp , who Is
a very tough young woman , was lined SIT.M
for disorderly conduct Saturday night. She
gave the ofllccrs a delimit look and went
below , saying she would never pay a line.
Harry Mickle made ills debut before the
police Judge this morning to answer to 11
charge of drunkenness. Ho wns lined § '
and costs , but sentonco'wns suspended pend
ing his future good behavior.
Twenty-four tough looking vagrants lined
up before tlio Judicial eye nnd after securlnf
their personnel the Judge gave them litteci
minutes to put the Missouri river bctwcei

TO HELP PUBHO "WORKS.
OHlcliilB HIITO n Plan liy Which Contractors
Blny ( Jo On.
Another branch of the public work may bo
brought to a standstill. This tlmo it is
the contractors on the main sewers who maybe
bo called oil by the city council and the
work stopped. The difticulty arises over
the inability of the city to float the
5100,000 main sewer bonds voted last
fall , as 'well as the inability of the con
tractors themselves to raise money on
estimates allowed on the work. Heretofore
the banks have helped out the contractors
and advanced money whenever the monthly
partial estimates have been allowed. The
scarcity of money has caused the banks to
bo less liberal , nnd they now refuse to help
the contractors tide over. The sewer fund
Is exhausted and the city cannot pay for
the work as It proceeds. The result Is that
the oulcials are confronted with a perplex
ing problem. They do not dcsiro to see all
public work at a standstill , and yet the con
tractor cannot complete the work unless ho
can raise the wherewithal to compensate his
laborers.
This morning at 11 o'clock the sewer
contractor will meet Treasurer Bolln , Comp
troller Olsen , Assistant City Attorney Cor
nish and Councilman Wheeler , chairman of
the finance committee. The question in al |
Its bearings will bo discussed , and it may be
that a plan can bo hit upon which will en
able the contractors to proceed nnd the city
to provide the uccessury funds. Thcro is an
abundance of ideas as to how this can be
brought about , and by a comparl
sou of notes a plan may bo hit
upon. It is understood that Mr. Cor
nish and Mr. Wlicclcr do not beliovc
that the city can provluo funds unless the
bonds are sold , nnd that any steps taken
would bo illegal. Treasurer Bolln and
Comptroller Oloen are inclined to talto n
different vlow of the situation nnd will sug'
gcst a plan to the conference. If their plant
are not a violation of the city charter ani
ordinances they will probably bo adopted
Before this Is done , however , it will hi
necessary for Mr. Cornish to look iuto the
legality of the same.
Mr. CKson expressed himself yostordnj
morning ns follows : "I bellovo the city should
do anything it can to help out the contract
ors , and I have studied out a plan I con&ldei
foaslolo and legal. The charter provides
that the city can at any tlmo invest the sur
plus of any funds in short tiino bonds 01
other good securities. The sewer bonds arc
of the long time issue and , of course , we
cannot purchase thoso. But wo can allov
the estimates of the contractors , Issue tin
warrants against the sewer fund to draw 1
per cent interest from date until taken uj
as soon as the bonds are disposed of
which I bollovo will not bo furthci
away than thrco months.V <
have n surplus In several funds thai
can bo spared for that length of time. The
main sewers under contract and certified l <
will amount to about J74.000 , Now wo have i
surplus in the city hall fund of ? l ! > ,000iuid oui
general fund could spare o-few thousand as
well as the mlscelludcous fund.Ylth tin
money thus derived it could bo invested ii
the sewer warrants , as they are good security
curity , and I bollovo by doing so wo wouU
comply -with the spirit nnd letter oX the law
In the grading , district sewer and pavini
wo issue warrants as soon as the spcclu
assessments have boon levied and do no
wait until the taxes have been paid. I fai
to sco why wo cannot do it In this instance
and I shall urge that the same bo dono. "
Treasurer Uolln says there Is $70,000 in tin
sinking fund , which ho bclloves could l > >
used in taking up the warrants In case thoj
are Issued , It would only bo necessary I
provide for $ ' . ' 2,000 to come from that fund tin
lira I of the month and thereafter the re
ceints of taxes will bo sufllclont to meet tin
obligations. Mr , Bolln believes that th
sewer bonds can bo sold within the nox
r thrco months , and the diverting of the mono
from the sinking fund would bo : but tempc
rnrv nud permit the sewer meu'to proccei
withjtholr work.

OMAHA , July 10.To the Editor of Tun
HER ! A slatomctiti ( editorial I bollovo ) In
your paper a four weeks since with icfer-
cnco to the religious nnd benevolent spirit
characterizing the- citizens of Onmha , ns
compared with other cities In the United
States , In the mnln , doubtless , was correct.
As a native of the Pine Tree state and a
life-long citizen of the Hub state , it may bo
assumed that my observation nnd knowledge
of for instance the observance of the Sab
bath day in the old Puritanic city of Boston
Is no bolter itopt than in Omaha. Cer
tainly from my limited experience
in this city , and closely observ
ing the habits nnd general appearance
of citizens and environments , I can see no
apparent difference in tnls direction between
the Gate City nnd the Hub. In regard to
the benevolent nnd charitable institutions of
Omaha. I have but limited knowledge. Of
course in so young a city it cannot 'bo ex
pected that institutions like the richly endowed
dewed ones of Bostonnnd other old cities
should bo found in Omaha. In Now York
city , for Instance , there are thirty institu
tions ctmlltir to tlio liescuo Hall city mission
in this city , besides many other benevolent
institutions , the outgrowth of Christian
charity.
I have Interested mysof to some extent In
the workings of the liescuo Hall enterprise
In this city. I have found from observation
and rcllnblo authority that It 1ms been nnd
still Is ono of the greatest factors In the
rescue of the incbrlato nnd the unfortunate
of all classes to bo found in the west. It us-
suredly should receive the sympathy and
substantial assistance of all lovers of the
race. G. W. U.
President Sncnza of .Nicaragua and Ills
1'ainlly Arrive , lit Sail lloio.
SAN DIEOO , July 10. Among the passen
gers arriving at this port by the Pacific Mall
steamer Colon was Roberto Sacaza , presi
dent of Nicaragua , who , in company with his
wife and two sons , is cnrouto to Chicago ,
Washington and Now York. Tlio party em
barked nt Corinto , the steamer Colon being
the first to visit that port since revolutionary
disturbances commenced in thai city. Sa
caza said his present visit to the United
States is for Instruction and recreation
morcly.nnd that with his family he intends 10
spend some tlmo nt the World's fair. Ho as
cribes the revoluiion , nol lo porsonnl cninily
toward himself , bul to strong Jealousy
existing between the cities of Leon and
Granada. Ho gives great crcdli to Minister
Baker of the United States , who is the ono.
he says , who succeeded In bringing iho rival
factions together. By the terms of the
treaty , ho says , positively , that his with
drawal from the presidency was not de
manded.
"I still am the constitutional president of
Nicaragua , " said he , "and have left the
chair only for the time Unit will bo occupied
in this visit , which.wlll consume about five
months. During my absence my trusted
friend , Senator Maclmdo , will net In my
place. It has boon agreed to hold a conven
tion within four months to revise the con
stitution , and the matter will bo settled ,
therefore , before I return homo. "
District Court Doings.
All of the district court Judges , with the
sxception of Judges Scott and Ferguson ,
: invo already lefntho city on their summer
vacations , and as the latter has enough ousi-
: iess on hand to occupy all Ills attention until
ho is ready' to departJudge , - Scott will hold
liimself in readiness to hear such matters
and issue such brders as may be necessary
until some of the othor-judgcs have returned.
The court journal has not yet been formally
closed for tlio term , and will not bo for sev
eral days , although tho.tcrin. proper came to
an end u > wbek ago.
Judgn Scott yesterday heard the argu
ments in the contemot proceedings brought
against Samuel P. Morse for violating the
order of the court restraining him from
going upon the residence property heretofore
occupied by him on South Thirty-second
street , pending the trial of the divorce case
brought by bis vifo a couple of weeks ago.
The defendant was found guilty of violating
the Order , and was fined $200 and costs , the
defendant to stand committed until paid ,
but the -whole was -held In abeyance until
the defendant further violated the injunc
tion. The arguments on the injunction
itself come up before the same Judge at 3
o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Surface Wuter" on IJlook 80.
Workmen are engaged In constructing a
sewer from the basement of the now post-
oflico building to the sewer on Capitol ave
nue for the purpose of draining off the water
that oozes out of the ground and keeps the
bottom of the basement In a very unsatis
factory condition. It was the intention of
the former superintending architect , Mr.
Beindorff , to have a deep well bored In the
bottom of the basement , through which ho
believed the surplus water would escape to
the level of tno bed of sand that underlies
the structure. The scheme , however , was
never put into operation.
The sewer on Sixteenth street is not low
enough to furnish on outlet for this water ,
but the sewer on Capitol avenue is
lower nnd will servo the purpose if it is largo
enough. It is feared that this sewer may
not bo largo enough and the government
may ask the city to enlarge it. Bids for the
stone work on the superstructure will bo
opened iu Washington city on July 20 and it
is believed that in ono month after thut date
there will bo u scene of activity on the
square occupied by the basement story of
the huge building.
