LIBERAL \VITII \ CITY FUNDS Lincoln Viaduct Damages Placed at the Wntor Matk , MAYOR WEIR DENOUNCES THE AFFAIR Apprnlitrt Allow Additional Sums In U'hero 1'rnporly Owner * \Vnro Snl- lulled with I.m Amount * l.lknly to CutUQ .Mure Triiiililo , LIXCOI.N , July 20. [ Special to THE BUB. ] Mayor Weir Is up In arms over the now ap- pralsoRicnt of the viaduct damages nnd inaUns 110 secret of the fact that ho will oppose - pose their p.iytucnt by ovcry moans In his power. Ho said to Tin : HKI : this morning that the work of the new appraisers wai an outrage Ux | > ii the taxpayers of the city. Why , " said ho , "IJuukstuft Uros. were perfectly satisfied with the damages awarded thotit by the ilrst appraisers. They expressed themselves so to mo within the jiast few days. They further stated to mo that they were willing to accept the amount , but Unit the other property owners had urged them not to do so , for the reason that It was believed that the new appraisers would bo much moro liberal. Now they re- celvo $ f,4lU. ) n considerable Increase ever what they were willing to accept. "Then there is O. L. Hall. I happen to know that ho paid but $ a,500 for the lot which the appraisers now say has been dam- ngeil to thu extent of SI.GUO. Hargreaves Uros. are located at the foot of the viaduct , nnd their business cannot possibly bo inter fered with In the construction of the work. They will only bo damaged by reason of the fact that the space under the sidewalk area which they uro now using will bu shortened by ten feet. I am willing that they shall liavo a. small award to meet the expenses In curred In rearranging tholr space under thn Bkiowalk area , In splto of the fact that they uro not the owners of the space and are only occupying It by reason of the courtesy of the city. " Referring to the probable action of the city council with roloroneo to. the now ap praisement , Mayor Weir expressed It as his opinion that an appeal would bo taken as noon as tlio railroads advanced the money to pay the damage * . "If the council uoos not nppeal from the Judgment of the nppralsora , " Bald tbo mayor , "and If It attempts to ap propriate the money to pay awards , I shall certainly veto tlio appropriation. It may Jiosstbly pass the ordinance over my veto. And. again , it may bo thai I am not pos sessed of the iiowor to prevent the payment of the awards , but I shall certainly do so if I ran. " It transpires that two moro O street prop erty owners are- claiming viaduct damages. The Glebe While Iad I works and the Lin coln UoUllng works object to the rcsumptioi of wont until their claims are adjusted. The appraisers will pass upon their claims early liuxt week. Worn tlmn nt Klrst Krimrtnd. The accident to Herman Dardwcll , the IB-yenr-old lad who was so cruelly crushet : In the elevitor in Herpolsheimer's dry poods ana department stores in this city last evenIng - Ing , Is much moro serious than at Ilrst re ported. It is claimed by the boy's father that the lad had been employed lu the store for several days in some capacity , but not particularly as an elevator boy , The elevator tor Is a hydraulic machine , and was out o order. When the car was at the second Btory , In charge of another boy , young Bard well wns directed by some ono to watch the machinery below to see If ho could detect the loak. Being inexperienced in the run ning of elevators , ho stooped down and loaned out over the shaft. The boy In charge of the elevator upstairs unwittingly Btartcd the car downward and It caught Bardwoll's head between the lloor of the car nnd the side of the elevator shaft before miy ono could give the warning. His nose wns crushed In , both checks smashed , bis Jaw broken in two places and one eye almost torn out. In addition bo has a terrible cut In bis scalp , extending from a point low down on the forehead over and behind his right oar to the base of the skull. If ho should by any possible means recover ho will bo horribly disllgnrcd for lifo. Ho is still lying In a very precarious condition. The mem bers of the Ilerpolsheimcr company are with him constantly and are doing everything in their power for tbo assistance of the sufferer and his parents. They deeply deplore the unfortunate accident and are at a loss to ac count for its occurrence except , upon the grounds that It was ono of those unfortunate affairs which can neither bo foreseen nor prevented. Attnr tlin Cnpltal Xnllonnl Again. Scarcely a day passes now that Is not marked by the institution of new suits against the olUcors and directors of the de funct Capital National bank in this city. The case will furnish a tremendiously rich harvest for the attorneys as thu litigation " growing out of the suspension of tho" bank seems to bo almost endless , In addition to the scores of garnishee suits Hied by eastern creditors , there are other scores of cases filed against the directors. Today Goltlor Uros. of this city commenced suit against the directors for theamount of theirdeposit ir. the ruptured bank. In addition to the charge that the bank's failure was duo to the negli gence and lack of diligence upon the part of tbo directors , the petition goes on to cite that the directors solicited business after they knew that the hank was in an insolv ent condition , by permitting the doors to re main open after it was unabln to continue business , byishing their names as di rectors in the . /.ink's advertisements In the newspapers of the city and in thus adver tising their willingness to receive deposits , ( iottlor Bros , had $2,16S.)7 ) on deposit in the hank on the night when it closed its doors to the public for the last time.

Receiver Morrell teen charge of the defunct - funct INobrnska Savings bank this morning and Is already at work In trying to save something out of the wreck tor the cred itors. While the assets are probably not sufllclcnt to pay nut the liabilities , there Is every probability that every creditor will ro- celvo dollar for dollar , as the stockholders are Individually abloto meet any assessment that may bo made upon them. Frank J. Kelly , as referee in the case of the state against the State Bank of Johnson , has boon hearing the evidence In several cases over disputed claims against the bank.

The hearing of the Led with matter came up before Judge Lansing this morning. Mrs. Ledwith was called to testify , and vigorous object ions wore Interposed to her doing so. Tim court , however , very cmpatlcally re marked that ho proposed to find out whether or not Licdwlth had violated an order of the court , and instructed that she bo allowed to proceed. The hearing was then postponed until tomorrow morning.

Buckstaff for some W IWO ( ho claims Is duo him as profits on paving contracts in six districts in the city , has been referred by the court to Judge Broady , who will take testimony as rcforeo and report the findings to the court. The case will probably give ordinary laymen some idea of the expenses and profit of Dav- iug contracts. The amount of money in. volved in the contracts in question is (050,000. R. J.

Police Judge Waters faced a solitary drunk when ho called the court to order this morning. The inebriated gentleman's name appeared upon the resistor as Con Callihan and it looked so lonesome there all by itsol that the judge discharged him with a brie lecture. No disposition was made with reference to Charlie Hart , the young boy arrested yes tcrd'iy while rummaging the apartments o Dr. Burrus in tht > Baldwin block. Hart is ono of thomostacromplishcdand picturesque liars that have puMip at the station for some time , ami consequently when ho told the Judiro that his father was a conductor on the llock Island , running between Omaha and Fail-bury , the court refused to believe his statement , for ho had told so many other stories in regard to himself that turned out to bo gauzy falsehoods. Ho was remiindcd back to his cell to await further develop ments. Charles 1C. Dolau , who so nearly wrecked the life of Albert ICisler a week ago , was re leased upon $500 bonds.

None of the city ollicials will venture to maito a prediction as to the new assessment of viaduct damages. There is some dispo sition on the part of a few councilman to ap peal from the decision of the appraisers , but no ono at the city hall is in a position testate state tl-ai. tills will bo done. Secretary Bowers of the Board of Educa tion has received a letter from W. J.

OF UltKAT IXTKKKSr. Important Ipcnlon by the Supreme Uourt of.Ulnncnota AIToctliiRCnultnlnnd T.nlior. ST. PAUL , July 'JO. An important decision was handed down by the supreme court today , which has a wide bearing on labor and capital alike. It is the case of the Helm Manufacturing company of this city against , V. 1C. Hollis and others , representing the Northwestern Lumberman's association. The Bohn Manufacturing company was a member of the association , nnd the constitu tion provides that no wholesale dealer shall ell goods at any place at less prices than retail dealers. The Bohn Mnnufactur. ng company wns accused of violating the agreement , and was notified by the secretary that a circular would bo sent to all members , notifying thorn of the fact. The Bohn company served an in junction on Secretary Hollis in oraer that its business would not bo seriously injured by such action. The order of the lower court was reversed in today's decision for the reason son that the Bohn company , being a member of the association , had no grounds for an in junction. The supreme court holds that no man , unless under contract obligation , or unless his employment , charges him with some public duty , has a right to refuse to work for or deal with any man or class of men ho oos fit , and the right which ono man may exorcise singly any number of men may ex orcise Jointly.

ANOTIIKK KrSUUUTlON. Cut In Itrttcs from Southern Points to the World' * Fair. CHICAGO , July 20. A reduction of $3 on round trip rates between Chicago and points jouth of the Ohio river was agreed upon at ho mooting of southern lines today. The rnduction was made by basing upon the t round trip rate from the Ohio river. The ates from points north of the Ohio river , voro not molested. It is not expected that uny now cuts will bo made In Ohio river territory for some time , though all the roads ; ire looking for one as likely to conic at al- nest any time. The committee of Wovld's fair exhibitors appointed to confer with the railroads re garding a reduction In1 Word's fair rates pulled down its Hag.and abandoned Its efforts. , T. G. Hangbor.n , chairman of the committee , today addressed a letter to the railroads , saylntr that' ' the World's fair council of administration has refused to acknowledge the efforts "of the committee and has so persistently Tirnored it that the XMiimittco has not- recourse but to iiscontinuo its woyk. The riiroads stood willing' to transijort a number of edi tors and thtir wives to'iiml ' from Chicago if the committee would entertain them while hero. The council of administration de clines to grant free'admission ' to the ladies , and the committee thereupon quit the task laid out for itself. / The Illinois Central has declared a divi dend of 8 } < f per cent for th'o half year ending Juno 30. "i'ho dividend is payable Septem ber 1. . Maximum Unto J.nw. With but few exceptions all -tho railroad men who attended the meeting of presidents and general managers Tuesday and Wednes day in Chicago , called for the purpose of considering the maximum rate bill , have returned - turned home. A few freight men still re main , however , discussing the long and short haul clauses of the bill and trying to arrive at a conclusion whether i-oads having longer mileage to common points will abandon those i > oints to roads having shorter milcago. It is practically settled that the Union Pacific , Missouri Pacific and Klkhorn will abandon the business at Lincoln to the Bur lington and llock Island. At Fremont , Nor folk and Humphrey the Ellchorn will bo given the business ; while at Grand Island and short distance points on the Union Pa cific it will bo given to that road. By this moans it is . thought the roads will bo given a fair pro- IKH'tlon of the business of the state and thus obviate the necessity of putting in the same rates from common paints whore one road has largely the best Of the situation , so far as mileage is concerned. The decision of the meeting to cancel all commodity rates now in effect will probably work u hardship to some of the "Infant in dustries" of the stato. but the magnates contend that as the tariff reduces their pres ent earnings about ft ) per cent it would belike like "carrying coals to Newcastle" to con tinue these rates in the face ol a 33 per cent reduction. The tariff will go into effect in a very crude state on August 1 , as it will take at least two months for the ro.ids to publish their sheets and smooth over the discrepan cies that cannot help but arise , notwith standing ttiat a now law Ims never had the care and attention given it as House roll HI ) . Mr. George W. Holdrogo had little to say about the decision arrived at on Tuesday ex cept that It was a hard blow dealt the rail roads , particularly at a time when business was at a standstill and the bottom com. plotcly knocked out of freight rates , J. O. Phillippl thought the bill would be religiously adhered to by all the railroads , ttio penalty for a violation of the law boln sufllclontly severe to warrant Its rigid on. forcomout.
