An olllcor will probably gja to Dow City today with the two llvorymon to bring back the stolen property and the thieves. There seems to bo a chance of proving n moro serious charge against James letters , the young man who slolo Houquot's horse. July 23 last a convict finished bin term in the penitentiary nt Canon City , Colo. , and was released. Ho tried lo bent bis way out of the stnto on a stock train , but wni dis covered nnd the bra Iceman tried to put him off. He refused to-got off , and In the scttfllo shot the trainman. Ho then m.ido his es cape , but was afterwards run down by the county sheriff. Just as the sheriff was about to put him under arrest the cx-couvict turned on him and shefl him nlso. Nothing moro wns soon of him. Cards wcro sent out nil over the country giving bis description and photoin'aph , and offer ing a reward of W.700 for his apprehension. Idlers answers the description of the murderous convict precisely , nnd while it is , of course , not certain thai ho is the party wanted , Iho authorities at Canon City will bo given notice of his capture nnd a chance lo claim him if ho is their property. In addition to the. two murders , tbo fellow concealed a lot of revolvers nnd other lire- arms in the quarries where the convicts worked every d.iy , in order that they might kill thu guards and make their escape. For tunately the plot was discovered before it had time to work. Democratic IIoMtn Calling Ono Anothoi Had > iiinc.t Hi'hlnd tha Hack. There Is a lot of bad feeling among tin democratic hosts If the stories Hint Icnkoui through open windows nnd transoms nro U ho believed. v The cause of the trouble dates back to tbi time when tbo announcement was made tha A. W. Hiokman would bo the next post master , having purchased an interest in tin olllcinl organ of the local democracy ant with it the endorsement of Hon. Tbonini Bowman , who was understood to exert SOUK inlluence with the administration. It cam < to Iho suiface again hist Saturday nigh when tbo democrats held their primar ies , and over since then a nuinbe : of the leading lights have been splutterlnt in a way that suggests tbo possibility of i great llnrcup in the county convention to morrow unless some steps arc taken to com promise the difliculty ueforo the delegate go into convention. Ono cause of the difliculty that now con fronts the party is Iho candidacy of J. .1 Shen for chairman of tbo county centra committee. Ho tilled this olllce last yea andil is said , would like it again next year This bus aroubcil the old animosity that ha existed for several years between the tw factions of the party. The "Cllobo men , " a they are called , are backing Shea and dc Clare that they will have no one but bin to manage tbo campaign in Pottawnttaml county. The . "anti-Uloho men , " wbc by the way , represent a largo nm constantly growing faction , claim that She ; did not manage the campaign right lastyeai and that is why there nro so many rcpul llcans doing business now at the count , court houso. This differunco of opinion ha given rlso to a state of affairs in the part that can only bu described by a reference t hades. It is stated , however , and indications bea out the report , that thu trouble is not s much the outgrowth of nny personal hosti ily toward Shea , as of n desire to cut lees from tbo Globe side of tbu hou&o. It was hitler pill Iho oilier fellows had lo swnllo when tlioy were told that Hiokman woul bo postmaster , for bo bad been a republic : ! up to within a few minutes of the time whe bis candidacy was announced. "If we're going to have a republican fc postmaster , I'd Just as soon have Troynor , howled one man whoso desperation nt sci Ing a democrat of so short standing stop ute to the oat bin and show signs of knockin out wheel horses who had done nothing bt whinney for Cleveland for so many year They feel that tbo only thing for them to tl is to "wax it to" tlnilr opponents in a wa that will forever put down what they ni pleased lo call ring rule. fj.

Local Forveuut oniclaJ CITY COUNCIWROCEED1NGS Sequence of Vetoes from the Mayor , Some of Which Wore -Sustained. - I r NONE 'OF THEM 'v/ERE ' / AMBIGUOUS Tlmmfton.llnttfttoti ItllU Knocked Out Lively Dclmtn Over Allowing the City Ulcctrlclnii tinPnvllrRo of 111 * IMoor SCMlnn In I'ull , The members ot the Omaha city council were con fronted hst night with six vetoes from Mayor Hemis. The veto messages were all lengthy and Important nnd torso. Some of the councllmen who nro not In accord with the views of his honor wcro considera bly runted , but they quickly fitted to their feet the shoes the mayor had provided. The most Important veto wns that of the monthly lighting bill of the Thomson- Houston Electric Light company. This is not the first limo the bllls f the company have not mot with tbo approval of Mayor Uotnls , but it was the llrst time the honora ble council sustained his action anil It did so hy nearly a imnnlinous voto. The mayor's message wns ns follows : TO TUB IIONOUAm.K , TIIR OlTV COUNCIL OH TiiisCiTVOH OMAHA : Ucntlpinrn 1'nr the In formation of your honorable bmly I have the honor to report that 1 have vetoed an Item In favor of the Thomson-Houston Klectfle I ' cotiinnny for $2,517.00 In thu Runural appro priation ordinance , for the reason Unit 1 am fully convinced that the Thomson-Houston l-.ltctrlc I.lKlit company Is not complying with thu terms ot Its contracts with thu city , mid fulls to fnrnl.sh t < Iuctrlc llRhts up to thu standard rcmilrod by said contracts. There can bo no controversy as to what the contracts rciiilru. | With regard to thu stand ard of llshts , the provisions In the contract pronarod hy Mr. I'oppluton , as well as thu out ) subsequently prepared by C'Uy Attornuv Cou ncil , Is clear and unmistakable. It requires the Thomson-Houston Klcctrlc Mght com pany to furnish arc Hnlits ot 'JOU-cnndlo ( ) power. His for arc light * of actual ! 2U)0- ( ) camllu power nnd not llehis of ! 2,000 nominal audio power that thu city agrees to pay the rices specHled In the contracts. Whllu thuru us been some dunbt heretofore us to the audio power light furnished hy the Thomson- lonston Klectrlc Unlit company , there no Jiigur can bo any reasonable doubt or iinrer- alnty rcgatdlni ; the standard of light fur- Khed. Tliu report of the city oleeirlclan uljmlttod to your h.morablo body , of date 'iinoU ' ? , IHO : ) , .shows that by photometer meas- remcnt tlio uvcrairo candlepower , which iuy no regarded ns a fair average test. Is only 17 , or , In other words , something le-s than 'tie-half ' thu candle power required to bo fur- dshi'd by the express terms of the contracts K'tweeii-tlie city and thu Thomson-Houston Vei-trie hlRht cojiipuny. If It Is jiibt and right h.it the city should pay for electric lights ae- oi-tllnj ; to the terms of tin- existing contracts , i Is equally just and right that the Thiniison- lotiston Klectrlc Light , company should fur- il-h lights of the candle power required by nch contracts. 1 do not see how any other 'li'\v \ of thu matter can reasonably Or honestly ID taken bv either the mayor or the city conn- II. 1 Ihcrefore cannot , consistent , with my liitlcs as chief oAcontlve of thu city , upprovt his Item. 1 think not only should thu amount " imposed to bo allowed to "tho Thomson-lions- on Ivloetrh ; l/Ight company by thu Hem re- 'orred to ho vetoed and stricken from tbeordl- innce , but that the city should assert Its chilli1 'or money wrongfully paid to the Thomson- Illusion "Kloctrlc lilgllt company on thu as- iilinotloti that It was furnishing lights of th ( 'audio ' power equal to the roqulrments ( if It' on tracts. Now Unit It has been demonstrated anil can ho d < > monsliateil , that the electrh 'IghtH furnished by the Thomson-lions. ' on Electric Light company are mncl julow the candle power required bj h contracts , a deduction .should 1 > < nado equal to the shortage of cnndle powei in all future bills , and in addition the clan tiould bii made for a corresponding .shortagi ii all Dills heretofore paid. I was advised I ) ' lie assistant city attorney , In the absence o ilr. l'onni'11 , that the courts would ceitalnl' lold that the Thomson-Houston Klectrlc Ugh company should furnish lights of actual 2,001 candle power , and that thu courts would at : ich no vitluo whatever to the commcrcla standard In otbur places , which means that , i certain number of watts should reuresen 2,000caiullo power. ' Tluiclty attorney sine Ids return continue the view taken by the as slstant city attorney. It will not do to siy : that tbo tests made b thu city electrician are not rulbiblu or wortlr of conslderulon , If this Is to bo done tli services of the city electrician might as we ] bo dispensed with. From my InviMlgutlon c this mutter i nm satisfied that the city elec trlclan 1ms acted conscientiously , and ilia full credence should bo given to Ills reports. : im therefore constrained to stnnd by his re imrts until It can lit ) demonstrated that th Mime are unworthy and unreliable. I bellvo I Is my duty as chief executive of the city , an that it Is your duty as representatives of th ueoplo , even if a reasonable doubt existed re garbing the report of iho city electrician , t resolve Mich doubt , In favor of the taxpayoi of thu city , nnd icqulre tbo Tlionuon-lloui ton Electric Light company to doinonstrate , 1 It can do so , in the conns the inaccuracy o unreliability of th ' reports of the city ulec triclan. Very respectfully , GKOIUJI ; P. HHMIS , Mayor. Mr. KilwuriN Tillies tlio Floor. The discussion was started hy Mr. Eel wards , chairman of the electric/ light con mittuc , who defended the action of bis con mittee and attacked the city electrician. II said the report of tbo electrician was simpl a bare , statement that the candle power wa 017 and that the allowing was made by photometer , an instrument in which th council and committee hud no confldotici and had been demonstrated as impractical ) ! nnd inaccurate. Mr. Edwards frankly ae milled Unit ho did not know much i blue prints , or electricity , but ho know ho\ \ to figure candle power when bo had th number of waits on u circuit. Ho said th committee on electric lights had ticou force into innklng its report , as the mayor and hi satellites had gone to Iho press and show that the committee wns discrlminatmir i favor of the electric light company us attains the gas and gasoline companies. Mr. JSc wards , while ho know it was wrong an against Ills belter judgment , proposed t stand by the mayor's veto and shove th whole responsibility on his honor. Mr. Steel was sarcastically eloquent. II ruastcd the mayor , the city electrician an the photometer. Ho said It was the miiyt who wears the brass collar , and not sorno t the councilman. Ho said Iho power buhl" tlio throne had settled upon the eileclr light company as doomed , nnd thu miiyi was only earring out instrucllons in votom the item in favor of the company.Ylii Mr. Steel realized that it was wrong , el cidedly wrong , yet he felt as if all reapona bllit.v should ho thrown on tlio mayor , an for that reason ho was prepared to vote i sustain his honor. Mr. Wheeler followed Mr. Steel. M Wheeler calculated on llio report of the do trlclan and found that in but ouu 1 stance did tlio cnndle power fall uolo 2,000 , and in some cases went i high as H.MIO. These ) calculations Mr , Whet er made from the report of the electrloli and thu cluster of electric lights In tl chamber beamed forth moro brilliantly at shed the brightening rays of approval upc the head of the Fourth ward statesman. Viiruclty oT I'lgnroK Clinllunsud , Mr. Jncobson thought that there w ; something decidedly wrong somowliero the llgurcs read by Mr. Wheeler nnd 1 desired that City , Electrician Cowglll I heard. Mr. Hascnll was oji his feet In an Install Ho thought that the council was capable conducting its own , business , and did n favor permitting Any city oflicinl goli behind a written report. Mr. Hnscall sa the mayor was proiunted ' In his action by lot of cheap nowspup'of correspondents , wl wuro grooming thu mayor for somuthlt thnt ho could not up , Ho then grow fac tinus mid wanted tin } photometer oxchnngi for un Incubator ami tuo council go into tl business of raising municipal chickens. * did not propose to votu to sustain the mavt Mir. .Munro stood hy the mayor. Ho sn that the city had a contract for n 8,0i candle power light nud not nominal , as t ! company claims , nnd that thu word "no Inal" Is thu milk in the coconnut. A : Munro said ho had been Informed by olllcin of the company that they were nut furnis ing ii.OUO candle power lights and wo furnishing only 2,000 nominal candle povv < He urged that thu veto bo sustained a chnrnoterUed H us cowardly and wrong cast reflections ujnin any city ofllcial , as h been the case with thu electiiciun. Mr. Huwell said ho was anxious 10 nsci tnln the facts in the cn&u nud ho request the electrician to explain how It was III his test had shown moro than S.SOO will from n machine that wiib incapable ) of pi ducing moro than that number of wutts. Then there was u row , Mr. Whuoler , Air , blcol nnd Mr. Hasc ; interrupted City Rloctricinn Cowglll , w arose to give thu desired Information. Th simultaneously protested ncMnst the city electrician being hoard. i'resldct Hechcl u - tallied the objections nnd rend the rules , which provide that a' two-thirds vote Is necessary to suspend the rules to permit nny other than a member of the council speaking upon n question under discussion , when objection Is made. Mr. llowell said that ho desired the In formation before voting and moved A suspen sion of the rules , Points of order wcro raised by Mr. Kd- wards nnd Mr. Stool and on the vote the necessary number fora suspension of the rules were not recorded. Kxplnlnpil Tliplr Votrt. The roll call then pVocecded nna with but a few exceptions the members explained their votes. Mr. limner made a speech nnd It was ns torrid ns the temperature of the day. He denounced ns an outrage the refusal to per mit the electrician to bo heard. Ho said ho wns not nwaro of tbo movements of ICd- wards and Steel with the blue print while In Chicago , hut it struck him ns very peculiar that at the time they were nt the World's fair the request of the city electrician for a leave of absence wns denied. When Mr. Howoll's name wns reached he again asked that the city electrician bo per mitted to ttlvo the Information dcsiroil and ho refused to vote until his request was granted. Objections wcro acnin made and the gentleman from the Seventh passed for the timebeing. . At the end of the roll call his nnmo was again called. Again did Mr. llowell object to voting until ho secured the information ho desired. President Ucchel , hold that. In view ot the objection the electrician could not address iho council ami thnt Mr. liowoll under tlio rules wns compelled to voto. Mr. llowell was wratby by this time , and ho said ; "It Is wrong to ask a man to vote on n question nnd at tlio sumo time deny him the privilege of securing information when it is nt hand nnd to be had. I nm generally pretty quiet , but when forced I heliovo I can bu moan , and in this Instance ns mean ns old Nick himself. You can ilrivo n horse to water , hut you can't compel him to drink. That Is my case exactly. It Is wrong to force mo to vote , nnd at the same time deny mo Information which I desire. " Upon motion of Air. Steel Mr. llowell was excused from voting. Mr. Wheeler wns the only member voting apninst the uinvor , the other members sus- tninini ; the veto. However , Mr. Hascall , Mr. Steel , Mr. Kdwnrds , Mr. Parker and Mr. Prince explained that they were voting cpntrnry to their own views and the sacri fice of conscience was mndo to permit the case going to the courts to be decided , Another Vulo from tlio .Mayor. The second vote from Mayor Bcrnis oceas- sioncd considerable discussion. It was na follows : 1 respectfully "report that I have vetoed an Item of 61,000 m the general appropriation ordinance ) In favor ot I'harlus P. llclndorlT as iiichttect , and superintendent of the city hall. In view of the services rendered by Mr. llaln- dorfT and tbo amount already paid to him , It is to me simply astounding that another pay ment of $1,000 should now be made. I regard this proposed payment of fl.OUO as n reculess and unjustIllahlu expenditure of the people's inonuy. The members of this council and thu taxpayurs of Omaha may nut hi nwaro of the fact , but It Is a fact neverthe less , that $17,088.03 lias already been paid u Mr. HelmlortV for Ills .services as architect and superintendent of tbo city hall. The paymunh of this large sum of money have been t.iadi without the existence of any written contract between the city and Mr. HclndortT , but upot his claim that tbu .same wore In accordance with the architectural charges for profes sional practice as adopted by KOIIII board of architects. It Is n notor lous fact , and can bu proved boyom question , that as a result of tin numerous blunders of the architect the cltj has been put to many thousands of dollars o additional expense In the construction nm completion of the city hall. It Is also unotorl oils fact , with legard to which there can bo m reasonable controversy , that Mr. IlclmlorlVha : not rendered services as superintendent of tin city ball , but that the work of construct ! ! ] ; and completing the city 'hall ha been urocecilvd with practically with out any superintendence whatever excep by officials of the city and a superintended whoso services were actually paid for by tin city. As already stated , Mr. HulnilorlT has re celved for bis services J17.5BH.03. Tills sun almost equals the entire amount , of his chilli as iiiado In writing Kubruary IS , IH'J'2 ' , am which coveiod thu sum of $4277.DS ! for ser vices as superintendent , and the sum of $ l'.t , 475 for his commission at H'i per cent of th contracts lot , making a total of S17,7M.5fc "Notwithstanding this statement , when practl enlly no service whatever lias boon rendore by him slncu that time , he now proposes t secure from thu city treasury the nddttlomi sum of { 1,000. I ILHnuii'o tlmticonvinccd tha Mr. lleiinlorir iun already been paid nine more than ho is entitled to receivt I do not hollevo it Is just to th Inxpavur-i of the city of Unmha. t pay him another dollar. To continue thcs payments from llmo to tlmu without any del : nlto settlement Is an unjustifiable outrage o the taxpayers of the city. It Is an out rag that should not bu permitted , and for the b formation of your honorable ) body and thane no councilman may misunderstand the fact : 1 have endeavored In this message to dcta them somewhat at length. Air. llascall Wanted tn Know. Mr. Hnscall and Mr. Howell wanted t know. Mr. Jacobsen , who introduced th resolution to allow $1,000 , explained thnt th nrchitcct based this claim upon the ndvc tisoment for bids for construction of th building , nnd that ho wns unaware tlin there wns over a contract executed bctwee the city and HelndoriT. Mr. Munro favored referring the claim t the city attorney for investigation , Mr. Wheeler rend the advortisemen which provided that the city should nllo' the architect the rates lixed by tbo associi lions of architects. Ho wanted the vote IK sustained nnd said the mayor's words wet moro claptrap nnd promulgated to cntc cheap votes. Mr. Howull thought the gentleman froi the Fourth was Kohig a litllo lee far. Tli city Is not settling thu claim , but is enl making n partial assessment. Mr. Wheeler nnd Mr. Hascall compl CRIME IN HIGH PLACES !
