The equity division ot Uio district court ,
prMliloit over by .hulgu Ferguson , was the
legal mngnot Unit possessed the drawing ( ] iml-
iticsycsteraiiy inoniln ? . There the arguments
on the celebrated g.ts oi'.ltiniiii'O wcro booked
for a hearing In the suit brought by W. S.
Popplobm to restrain I lie city council from
granting , free of oo t , a flfty-ycar franclnso
to the Omaha Gas Manufacturing company.
As will ba rotuoinuorcil , on November 14 ,
the council lussud tlio orJInanco anil In duo
course of time It found Usv.iy to Mayor
liomls for approval or rejection. OB No
vember 20 , the day preccJIng the next reg
ular mooting of the council , through his
attorney. John U Kennedy , Mr. I'oppletoti
appeared before .lutlgo l-Yiyuson and sued
out a restraining order , enjoining the mayor
from approving the ordinance anil also en
joining the council from pissing It over his
veto , iprovldlng the chief ex
ecutive put the stamp of dis
approval upon the document , " 'hataftornoon
the ortior of the court was served upon the
mayor and the members and at the evening
session of the council tlio vote of the mayor
was handed in , but Immediately unon the
convening of the counciland before the vote
could bo presented , and before the hour for
ronvoninir had arrived , life Ilnscall moved
nn adjournment. Tlio motion was instantly
put and declared c.irried , alter which I ho
council adjourned. Then the friends of the
pas ordinance announced that , by reason of
the council having failoJ to consider the
vote of the mayor , the ordinance had be
come a law.
Ignoring this opinion of the gasltcs. Mr.
Popple-tor and his attorney were In court yes
terday mornlnir , whore they asked leave to mo
an amended putition , sottlmr up now matter
which was material to the issue. It was a
mixed gathering that appeared unon the
Bcuno to watch the outcome of the light , and
among those who \vero prominently present
were Councilman Wheeler , Saunders and
Prince ; John L. Webster , who said that ho
represented the city council ; City Attorney
Connell , besides fully two score of disgusted
nnd Indignant citizens who were opposed to
the city giving away valuable franchises
without receiving some value in return.
Tlio opening of the session was announced
nnd Mr. Kennedy stated that ho wanted to
file an amended petition in the case , the
object of which was to make the Omaha Gas
Manufacturing company a party to the suit ,
showing that it had conspired with certain
councilmen , through its olllclals , to defraud
the city and secure the franchise free of
cost , lie said that ho also wanted to set up
in the petition new matter which was ma
terial to the Issues involved. To do.this
bo would lite his petition inntantcr , but ho
wanted time in which to secure evidence
and submit it to the court.
Mr.Voostor , in behalf of tno members of
the council who wore in such a hurry to ad
journ , opposed the llllng of an amended peti
tion unless the restraining order was with
drawn , lie contended that it was unjust to
bring the gas company into the light unless
it could bo shown that the olllcers were
parties to some fraud.
Suj'S thn Can Mull Pulled the ! String.
To this Mr. Kennedy replied that that was
the object of the continuance , and that if
it was granted it would bo proven by com
petent witnesses that the olllcers of the gas
company wcro behind tlio cotmclimen , and
that tlioy wcro pulling the string , while the
councilman wore sliiiply us the puppets in
thn show , jumping up when the Btrinc was
pulled.
Mr , Webster wanted time , uraing that if
that was to bo the issue he was entitled to a
period of time sultlcictit to examine and in
vestigate all of the matters in connection
with the case.
Mr. Kennedy did not object to the grant
ing of a reasonable length of time , but
thought it str.ince that the members of the
council should bo iu such a hurry to rush the
ordinance through and then discover that
time was one of the essential elements en
tering into the case ns applied to the ordi
nance granting the chi'rtor. If they had
considered tlir.c as ono of the Important
features , ho opined that considerable litiga
tion could have boon avoided.
Mr. Wouster replied that all that ho
wanted was a fair trial and an opportunity
to got at the bottom facts. Ho was tired of
the public clamor and wanted the case tried
on its merits.
That was what Mr. Kennedy wanted , or
nl least ho so stated. As far as the public
clamor was concerned , it had been brought
on by the acts of the councllmen themselves ,
and was something that could not lie con
sidered liy the court.
Judge Ferguson said that In a judicial way
ho know nothing of what the council had
done , though he had road newspaper reports
nnd ns a citizen of the city ho possessed the
knowledge the same as any other man. Ho
wanted to do right and would not allow his
inlml to uc'como biased in favor of either
party.
After some further discussion the amended
petition was allowed to bo tiled anil the re
straining ardor continued in force , and the
case sot for hearing on December 11 , at 10
o'clock a. in.
Uesldcs making the Omaha Gas Manufac
turing company a party to the suit , the
amended petition sets out some sensational
charges , the truth ot which the plaintiff
claims ho will prove by the testimony of
competent witnesses.
Nntliif ; DuCi'ntK 111 tlio Ordinance ,
This now matter Is as follows : "It is pro
vided that In said pretended ordinance
granting the charter to the Omaha Gas
Manufacturing company , that for the pur
pose of ascertaining the basis for the rates
to bo charged , the company , or Its assigns ,
shall , on or before January 15 , of each year ,
1IU ) with the city clerk a sworn statement of
gas sold by It for use In the city during the
year preceding , and the rates uhtirgonblo
for the ensuing year shall bo fixed upon the
schedule according to the amount of such
sales so Ghowii. .Said protci.dcd ordinance
makes no provision whatever whereby the
city or any citizen thereof can ascertain the
amount ol the actual sales of gas In said city
for the preceding year , but under the
terms of the pretended ordinance the said
sworn statement Is made conclusive.
"It is furttior provided in said pretended
ordinance that bald Omaha Gas Manufac
turing company shall not bo required to extend -
tend Its pipes and mams for the distribution
of gas to the citizens of the city except on
graded streets , highways , alleys , lanes ,
avenues , boulovarda , publlo places , bridges
and viaducts , and then only in the event that
at least ten consumers for every 4CK ) feet of
the extension so made necessary Blwll llrst
ngrco In writing to take gas from the Omaha
Gas Manufacturing company for n period of
ono year at the general rates.
"Umlcr this provision the company can In
almost every Instance absolutely refuse to
matte the extension , and the city of Omaha
&ndits , citizens , if tlio ordinance is permitted
to stand , will bo wholly at the mercy and
dictation of the Omaha Gas Manufacturing
company.
"As to the fourteen members of the coun
cil who voted in favor of the passage ol the
ordinance * , inoro than a majority thereof
nnd more than a majority of the cntiro coun
cil acted and voted in bad faith , and without
any reference to the merits of the pretended
ordinance which was before the council , and
without any consideration as to what , was to
the best interests of the citizens of the city
of Omaha ,
I'll ji ne Aiito-ricctloii rrauiliti.
"Tho plaintiff further alleges and believes
that several of the members of enld council
voted In favor of an Id pretended ordinance
because of pre-election promises mtulo to the
Omaha ( las Manufacturing company prior
to tlio late election ,
"Tho plaintiff further alleges that it has
long been the custom of tno defendant to
Jnllucncb the mcmbeis of the city council by
furnishing thonj during their oftlnlal terms
with gas , without requiring them to pay for
the same. The plaintiff Is Informed and bo-
Jleves that tkUils being continued with the
members of the present council , nnd thnt n
largo number ot the members nro being
furnished with gas without being compelled
to pay for the same. Hy reason thereof tlio
members of the present council nro In
fluenced by the gas company ; thnt by renson
of such frco gas nnd the Inlluonco which it
find n Inrgo number of tlio momhoraof the
council voted In favor of tlio pretended
ordinance , when they would have voted
against It had they not been so influenced
by the favors which they were shown by
thn pns company , nnd worn considering the
Interests of the citizens whom they were
elected to represent.
"Tho plaintiff charges that In other ways ,
unknown to this plaintiff , tno ens company
has acuulrcd nnd retains an Influence over
the members of the council , thus unduly in-
lluenclng them to cast their votes In favor of
the pretended ordinance.
1'im.iBo MTiiroil liy 1'rinil.
"H Is further charged that the paisntro of
said pretended ordinance through tlui coun
cil was secured by fr.iti'l , and that theroforu
It Is Illegal , Invalid , uncotisilttiUatiai nnd
void , nnd that the city council Is niocccdiiiR
under color ( if law to do tin act for which it
has no legislative , legal , certiorate , or muni
cipal nutlioritv. ' '
The plaintiff then recites the scenes that
took placu in ttio council chamber on the
night of Movonibor'Jl. ami alleccs that some
person turned the clock ahc.iil , and that the
meeting of the council was hold and ad
journed before the regular hour for conven
ing and before the mayor's secretary had an
opportunity of placing thn vote of the ordi
nance in tlio hands of the dork.
KejrardtniT this meeting Ilio plaintiff
charges fraud and eomuvanco ami all'-itoa
that the rules of thu couU'-ll ' provide that
llrst there sti-ill bo a call of the roll ; sornnu ,
the reading of the minutes : third , petitions
and communication ! ) , and so on down
through twelve specific divisions of council
work. In this connection the plaintiff al
leges that the Journal was not read , nor
were there any petitions presented and
that the adjournment was ordered before it
was possible for the presentation of the
veto from the mayor , as the council had ait-
journed before the consideration of messages
from the mayor was reached.
The plaintiff charges in his amended peti
tion that because the mooting was called
before the regular hour the object of the
majority was to prevent the consideration
of the veto , so that , if possible by trick or
subterfuge , the ordimineo might become a
law without the approval of the mayor.
Clmrxu "if Goimplr.iry.
"Prior to this meeting. " alleges tlio plain
tiff , "a number of the members of the city
council , as plaintiff is informed and believes ,
confederated and conspired with the ofllcers
of the Omaha Gas Manufacturing company ,
and with the attorney of that company
mapping out the plan for the mooting and
the early adjournment as the most feasible
w.iy by which the veto could bo prevented. "
It is further charged that in all of these
mutters and movements the majority of the
members of the council were acting in bad
faith , and were seeking to circumvent the
will of the people and to advance the inter
ests of the pas company r.t the expense of
the city of Omaha.
Thn plaintiff avois that ho is only one of
thousands of citizens in Omaha who arc
protesting against the passage of the ordi
nance , llo also declares that the city
is taking no action to prevent the en
forcement of the ordinance , nor is it
taking any action to protect tlio
Interests of the citizens , and that lor this
reason ho brings the suit to prevent the
most oppressive kind of monopoly and the
enforcement of special legislation , whicli is
of the most pernicious character.
Kefcrring to the acceptance by the gas
company and the endorsement by tlio presi
dent of the council and the city cleric , the
plaintiff alleges a conspiracy and tlio prac
ticing of a fraud , which alone would make
the ordinance void and unconstitutional.

During the afternoon matters loose another
turn and again a temporary block was placed
in front of the wheels , looking to an attempt
to frustrate the law.
Shortly after llling the amended petition
with the clerk of the cuiirt. John L. Ken
nedy , attorney lorV. . S. Popplctonaiul the
citizens who arc lighting the provisions of
tiio gas ordinance , secured an order from
Judge Ferguson , allowing them to take
depositions bojjpro W. A. Parrlsh. at the
olllco of Issue Cousdon , room -107. First
National Bah It building. Subpoenas { requir
ing the presence of Cuuncilmcn W. A. Kaun-
dors and Sol Prince were placed in the hands
of a constable for service , the intention be
ing to take the testimony of these gentlemen
and learn what they know about the < ras
ordinance from its inception until tiic time
when it was vetoed by the mayor , as well as
the part which the gas company Is alleged
to have played in the deal. Uoth of the
city fathers refused to obey the subpwna ,
although tbcir witness fees were tendered
-in advance.Vendinghisway bacjit < r the
ontoo of Mr. Kennedy , the constable made
his report , which soon found its way to
Judge Ferguson.
They Mint Show CUIIHC.
An aflldavit was then filed with the clerk ,
setting forth the facts , whereupon Judge
Ferguson made an order citing the council-
moil to appear in his court on next Saturday
mornlnir , there to show cause why they
should not submit to an oral examination
concerning all the facts that they know of
regarding the ordinance and the means
which were pursued to secure Its passage
through the council.
After the arguments arc made if the court
sustains the point for which Mr. Kennedy
contends lie will bo asked to set a time for
an investigation of all of the material facts
connected with tlio gas franchise.
Councilman Prince was seen last night
and asked why he refused to obey the sub-
jHuiia citing him to appear before the notary
and give testimony. Ho said that ho was of
sound health and a resident of the city of
Omaha , and that bo did not Intend to remove
therofroni. Ho was willing to go ueforo a
cpurt and toll all that ho know about the gas
ordinance , but would not go before an in
quisition where his testimony might bo mis
construed and garbled and then possibly
used against him. Ho declared that ho was
ready and only too anxious to moot any
charges that might bo preferred , and in the
end ho said that ho could convince the court
that his acts in the premises were above
suspicion.

There is n movement on foot to allow the

The Omaha uollco have a good case
against Cofllold , but they are willing to give
the man up If the Kansas authorities will
give any assurance that the swindler will bo

In speaking about the matter yesterday ,
Chief Detective Haze said : "Tiio Omaha

The Associated Charities , 807 Howard
stroot.ln connection with the wood yard and
laundry , have opened a soup house where
a hlj ? bowl of rich vcgotahlo soup and plenty
of good bread will ho supplied tlio poor nnd

The soup house was opened at noon yester

the select little party were : Thomas L.
Kitnball , WTX. Hroatch. S. L. Wiley , Victor

and Cicneral Manacor John LniiKland. The
party was unanimous on the quality of tlio
soup and several of the gentlemen present
the height of bad table manners oven
called for a second bowl. Some of them
thought It was a trillo too rich , but the
unanimous verdict was that It made a very
adequate and u very satisfactory lining for
an empty ami craving stomach. It was not
and savory and with the splendid bread
with which the table was supplied made a
real excellent inoul.
This soup will ba supplied to Individual

Hints In I'DHTly anil Divorce.
At Nebraska Citv yesterday Mrs. Edith
Brown was divorced from her husband ,
Arlington D. Brown , on the charge of de
sertion.
Up to about six months ago bath parties
were residents of Omaha , where thu latter
carried on u successful drug business on
Thirtieth street and Amos avenue. Ills in-
cnmo from his store amounted to several
thousand dollars a year , and ho was rapidly
amassing a small fortune. Like many other
people before him , ho endeavored to Increase
tils wealth at a still moro rapid gait on the
green cloth.
Brown's luclt w.is 'rcopporcd , " and fora
time ho proved to bo a welcome customer to
the people who gain their Jiving oy dex
terous handllngof the pasteboards. Negleot
of business and family and spending his
time to regain that which ho had lost fol
lowed as n natural consequence until ho saw
himself Involved In difllcuUloj.wIth creditors
clamoring for the amounts d.ui them.
With business ruin staring him In the
face , the druggist resolved to seek other
fields where his previous career was not
known. Unknown to the loving wife this re
solve was carried nut one Sunday evening.
At thai time ho left ; his once happy homo
to go to the store , as ho cxplitiiifJ to Mrs.
Brawn , On his return ho would take bur
to church , ho said , and that she had better
bo getting ready , as his mission would keep
htm absent only for a short timo. The wait
was a long one. Tlio night passed , and even
the dawn of nnothouday tailed to bring Duck
tbo husband. Monday morning his business
was taken possession of by a bank under a
Hen , and the afternoon of that day brought
Mrs. Brown the Hrst tidings of her husband ,
who In a letter iuformcd her that it was im-
posslhlo for hltn to stay any longer in
Omaha. Enclosed In the letter were a low
dollars , sayini ; taut that amount represented
more than half oC'tlto ' sum ho had in hU pos
sess on.
