Besides Alderman Gclse , who is always
absent , Hathaway was the only absent alder
man nt last night's meeting of the city
council. In the absence of Mayor Ltiwrenco
Alderman Jennings occupied the chair.
After some routine business of an Important
nature had been transacted , .1. 11. Webster
of Omaha , who was present In the Interest
of the Interstate Bridge and Street Hallway
company , presented the following resolution ,
which ho asked to have adopted :

ns of Air. WclMtcr.
When the resolution had been read Mr.
Webster made some remarks In which ho
staled the reasons which ho thought would
Justify the city in thus extending the time
for the"comnany to complete Its operations.
In the llrst place , when the bridge charter
was brought up in congress Senator Vest
put in an amendment requiring the company
to build a heavy railway bridge. This neces
sitated u reorganization of the company and
the securing of a complete set of new plans.
The latter required the expenditure of $30-
000 in cold cash.
A second amendment , he continued , had
been put in , requiring the company to give
congress u map showing high and low water
marks for a milo above and below the
bridge site and the strength of current at
all times. i'liis ho considered an entirely
useless proceeding , and it cost the company
? 5OOQ , to carry out the provisions of the
amendment , besides a dulay.of many
months.
The delay of contractors , the strike
in the Carnegie iron works , which
was the only place in the country
where iron for caisson piers could be
bought , and the repeated washing out
of tlio false work worn mentioned as ad
ditional reasons why the company had not
been able to complete its work in the allotted
time. Mr. Webster said ho bad been in
formed that the company would meet with
obstructions and litigation if it tried to
push its way into the city , and ho wanted
to ascertain the truth of this report before
the company laid out any more money for
rails and thu like.
Ono Objection Mentioned.
Alderman Smith pushed that 51,200 judg
ment at him atid said that is a
the company's neglect had caused
the city this expense he thought
the company should reimburse the 'city.
Webster replied that that was a matter
which should be discussed by the attorneys
for the city and thu company. Ji'ibbetts
moved that a committee of three bo ap
pointed , with the city attorney , to consult
with the attorney for the company , and that
the resolution should bo referred to the
committee of the whole to bo discussed
at a meeting to bo held after this
conference took place. Keller seconded the
motion , and Chairman Jennings appointed
Aldermen Keller , Smith and White to act
as such a commitleo with the city attor
ney. There was some dispute among the
members of the council as to whether
the motion was put to a vote , but
whether it was or not , the minutes ot
the clerk say it was carried , and whether it
was or i > ot will probably come up for discus
sion at thu next meeting.
The ordinance allowing sidewalks in any
purl of the city to bo built of hard burned
brick instead of natural or artificial slono
was read Ihe Ihird ilmo and passed.
Alderman Smith presented an ordinance
forbidding the scraping of snow from the
tracks of any railway so as'to form embank
ments at a greater distance than four fcot
from the curbstone , and providing n line of
not more than $100 nor less than JUS for each
fracture thereof. It went over under the
rules.
Kx-Clitof Nicholson's Case ,
A matter then came up In which the gen
eral public feels a good deal of Interest ,
namely , the question of investigating the
alleged oniclal misconduct of ox-Chiof
Nicholson of the fire department.
Alderman Keller was the ono to llrst
suggest it , and next Thursday evening was
finally determined upon as the time for beginning -
ginning the investigation. Alderman Smith
then Introduced a resolution that made a de
cidedly uncomfortable feeling apparent
among the other aldermen. It has been con
tended all along by some people that the
aldormcn , or rather a part of them , never in
tended to make n thorough Investigation ,
, but intended , if public sentiment would
allow it , to go through the motions and then
reinstate Nicholson merely on the ground of
his being a democrat. Smith's resolution
instructed the city attorney to collect such
evidence against Nicholson as ho might
think proper and bring It up on the night of
thu investigation.
This evidence was just what the white
wash members of the council didn't want ,
Smith Is the only republican member of the
council , so far as Nicholson's investigation is
concerned , for Tibbatts is , to all Inlonts and
purposes , a democrat , voting and working
with thorn whonovcr Nicholson's ' shortcom
ings are brought up. For some minutes it
looked as though Smith's resolution was not
coing to havoany second , but finally , aftor.u
couple of minute * exceedingly awkward
sllonco. White dropped out of line and seconded
ended it. Then eaiph alderman hud to show
his hand , and the iresoluiion was adopted
unanimously.

CLAIM ! ) HOI.MKS WAS NOT llHtKl ) .
Suit In Which tlio Kx-Olty Attorney SUCH
tlio City for WiO)0. :
The suit of George A. Holmcs'agatnst the
city was placed upon trial yesterday after
noon in the district court. Holmes , who was
formerly city attorney nnd appeared for the
city in three of the cases in which suit was
brought against the city by private indi
viduals for the purpose of regaining posses
sion of chunks'of Fail-mount park , is suing
for $3,000 attorney fees in the three cases.
Nothing had been heard or Holmes' claim
for several years until last spring , when the
sum of $10,000 was awarded to two other at
torneys who had represented the city
In certain pane litigation. Holmes had
up to that thno received about $600 , and ho
immediately awoke to the situation with
such a vengeance that the suit now pending
was started. The $3.000 is merely for the
time during which ho claims to have been
employed by the clty after his term of ofllco
as city attorney had'expircd.
The dofensoof the city is that the claim is
exorbitant for the work that was actually
done , and that Holmes , moreover , was never
employed by the city in the cases. City
Attorney Hazclton is using up a good deal of
the gray matter in his Drain in the effort to
discover a lawyer whom he can call in to
swear that $3,000 is an exorbitant chargo.
If an arrangement could have been made
between the" attorneys by which the case
should bo tried to the court , however , a dif
ferent result might have been reached. Last
Saturday Judge Smith heard the testimony
of three different lawyers as to the reason
ableness of the charge of 1,500 made by cer
tain attorneys of this city in u divqrco case.
All three testified that $1,500 looked all' '
right to them , but in spite of that testimony
Judge Smith looked back ut the time when
he was conducting law suits and gave the
attorneys a judgment for $ . " > 00. It is re
ported that Holmes' attorneys in the present
Instance would have been willing to leave
the case to Judge Smith's decision , but the
city attorney preferred to go before a jury.

about a month , and they celebrated the ena
of thdlr honeymoon by having u lively fracas.
Mrs. Scott was determined to leave her lord ,
and the latter was determined that she
should not leave without giving him the
ring which the parson had used in uniting
them in wedlock. Their quarrel was cor-
ductcd in so public a fashion as to awaken
Dan Ferguson , the Big Lake policeman. He
put them under arrest and loft then' ' with a

patrol wagon. When he returned Scott had
skipped , but the woman was waiting for the
wagon. An old-fashioned , muzzle-loading

this , sbo claimed , her husband threatened to
exterminate her. Later in thu afternoon
Scott was also arrested and put behind the

States sciiatorahlp to slici-cod Senator U'll-
son promises tu bo onoot tlio liveliest that
has taken plnco slnco the ono that resulted
In the choice of Senator Allison over twenty
years ago. While ox-Govornor Gear has
been conceded to bo the strongest candUhito
so far , with tlio possible cxuoptlon of Con
gressman Ilcnburu , there Is u disposition
among nil other candidates iind their friends
to combine against him on account of hU
locality. They say there Is no reason why
nil the United States senators to represent n
republican state should come from strong
democratic counties along the Mississippi
river ,
The various candidates arc already estab
lishing headquarters here , anu tlio light
will bo warm , if not bitter , from now on.
The advent of Congressman Perkins as a
candidate from northwestern Iowa com
plicates mallei's somewhat , and mattes it
more difllcult to forecast thu ultimate result.
Friends of Hon. A. IJ. Cummins think they
see in the combination against ( ! cur a good
chance for their candidate to got in. The
stuno Influences that uro at work against
Gear will also have tin Indirect hearing
against Congressman I acy. Hepburn's
candidacy also precludes the probability of
a successful contest by Attorney General
Slone , both comtntc from the same portion of
the state , whtlo the claims of northwestern
Iowa will make Congressman Perkins a
formidable contestant.

BOARD OF HEALTH.
Short SesUnn Characterized hy
Kicks nnil KotrpiK-liiiiutil.
The Uonrd of Health mot yesterday after
noon for the second time in two months.
CouscMueully the greater part of the session
was dovolcd to threshing over dry straw.
The reports of the inspectors for the months
of September nnd October together with
the mortality reports were read nnd ap
proved.
The question of reducing the force of inspectors
specters was discussed t somu < luiiKth. It
was stated that the funds on hand would
not bo sufllciont lo last tlio year out anil that
thcro was no prospect of potting any more
from the council. On motion of Mr. .Me-
Learlo , Inspectors C. O. Dooley nnd 0. U.
Stockhain were discharged. The action of
Commissioner Somers in retiring J. C. nub-
hard was approved. On motion of Chief of
Police Scavcy the amount of $ 20 per month ,
which was allowed Meat Inspector Frank
for horse hlro , was withdrawn.
In connection with the retirement of the
inspectors a mild passage of arms occurred
between Chief Soavoy and Plumbing Inspector
specter Duncan. Mr. Duncan wanted Mr.
Ilubhard's salary paid to dato. as ho hud not
been formally dismissed by the board and
had reported for duty every day. Chief
Scavoy remarked witii some asperity thnt
the board had no political debts to. pay , and
that no man should dr.iw a salary for stick-
inp his head into the door every day. it Iho
board was to bo turned into a political ma
chine ho wanted to bo registered as on the
other side of the fence.
The secretary was directed to servo
notice on Contractor O'Donnell to be urcscnt
at the next meeting of the board , in order
to talk over the matter of selecting loca
tions for loading garbage when the new
contract went Into effect.
The plumbirie inspector was instructed to
examine the condition of all school houses ,
hotels and boarumg houses in the city and
report the result of-his observations to the
next mooting ot the board. Incidentally ,
Dr. Somers reported that the ventilating
system in the city hall was inefllcient in
that It ventilated from one room into an
other. The flue from the council chamber
led into the Board of Education rooms , and
the next morning after a council meeting
the rooms above were filled with the smoke
from the bad cigars smoked by the city
fathers the night before.
STOLE PROM A CHURCH.
Thieves EncleaTor to Sell Silver Service
Tnken From n Hunctuitry.
Yesterday afternoon two young men went
into Max Meyer & Go's , jewelry store at
Eleventh and Farnaro streets and offered to
dispose of a quantity of old silver. Max
Meyer was present and ho asked to see the
goods. The mon placed a small sack on the
counter and exposed some pieces of broken
silverware and offered to sell them quite
cheap. Mr. Meyer examined the metal and
discovered that it had formerly oeen in use
in a church , but he was moro than surprised
when ho ascertained that the stuff hud been
purchased from his store and had been in
scribed by ono of his oncravors. llo came
around the counter to sco if ho could Hnd a
policemen to arrest the tallows. The thieves
suspected his intentions and ran out of the
door before ho could stop them. They loft
their plunder behind them auu anofllccr was
soon placed on their trail.
It was ascertained that the silver service
used at the Congregation of B'nai Israel
church , 1407 South Thirteenth street , had
boon stolen a few days ago , and this is part
of it. The thieves hnd endeavored to destroy
the identifying inscriptions by breaking up
the vessels. Possibly they might not have
boon discovered but for the faot that they
tried to sell the pieces to Mr. Meyer. The
sliver is valued at S20.

There was a large and enthusiastic cut
ting scrape in the kitchen of the Merchants
hotel ysste.rduy forenoon and t\vo colored
waiters who Have bsen in the habit of "ohas-
ingehuek"'wiU be absent. One is in jail and
the other Is being watched over by a doctor.
For some time there has been bad blood
between Sara Wilson and Thomas Jefferson.
They have "sassed"back for several months
and there seemed to be quite a rivalry as to
which was the best waiter. Yesterday
the war of words came to an end and a. potato
tate knife in the hands of Thomas Jefferson
played a star part for a few moments.
Wilson openeu hostilities by throwing a
plato at the head of Jefferson and Ihe latter
picked up the nearest weapon at handwhich
happened to bo a potato knlfo. With this In
his right hand Jefferson started after his
enemy and in the language of thu streel
gamin , "ho got-him good and hard. " There
was a clinch and a slash. Wilson's face was
cut from car to car and looked : t good deal
lilio Billy Kersands' mouth in the minstrel
show. ThU aid not satisfy thu negro with
the knife and ho went at it again. Nine
cuts on Wilson's head was the result of this
encounter. Two of these cuts were six inches
in length. Wilson fell to the iloor and
fainted from the loss of blood. Jefferson
jumped out of a window into a passageway
and hid in the collar.
Sergeant lOrmsby happened along and
Manager Hulett reported the matter to him.
Ormsby called a doctor , nnd then hunted up
his namesake Thomas Jefferson. Ho found
the uogro hldiug behind a big pile of pota
toes in the collar , and dragged him out.
When taken out Jefferson asked ' 'is ho
dead ! " When told that Wilson had not yet
expired , the prisoner remarked : "I wish
that I had killed the . "
Jefferson was at once taken to ipolico
headquarters and locked up. On the blotter
he is charged with assault with Intent to
kill. Ormsby then had the wounded man
taken to his homo , Ktlll Capitol avenue , and
remained there while Dr. Bacon sowed up
the cuts. It took thirty stitches to close the
gaps in Wilson's face and head. Ho is very
weak from the loss of blood , nnd It will bo
some tlmo bofoio his physician will allow
htm to go Into court and testify agxilnst his
assailant. Dr. Bacon says that if iullim
inatlon sots in the wounds may result ser
iously.
