I.l\coi v , Dec. 5. [ Si-ectal to THE BEE. ]
For several \voclc there have been rumors
that the friends of the Indicted asylum
boodlers would petition the court for the
dismissal of the cases against Hubbard ,
Dorpan , L.iuer nn < l Sawell. The rumors
have generally own discredited. bat today
they nero verified. A petition was today
drtuni tt : > for iircscntatlon to County Attor
ney Woodward and signed by nawurd l g-
nall. .1. H. flarley , 3. H. MeMurtry , J. J.
JmhofT S H Burnham , P. W. Brown and
others. These gnntlomcn nsk that the cases
now pending against John T. Dorgan. J. Dan
I aucr , W U. Sewcll and Frank Hubbard be
dlsmlised. All of the panics have
been twice Indicted and each one
of them Ims been acquitted on one
count of the Indlotracnu. Several counts
yet remain to bo tried. The petition recites
the fact that the county has already ex
pended over FW.OOO In the attempt to convict
the Indicted men of the charges brought
against them ; ttiat It will bo an unwise ox-
Iicndlturo of public money to further prosecute -
cute the parties ; that there is no possibility
of ttiolr conviction , oven if brought to trial ,
upon the remaining counts against them ;
that the strongest cases again * < thorn have
been tried and that there is no reason to
liopo or expect that further trials would re
sult in conviction.
After the petition had been drawn up It
was formally discussed and It was resolved
to hold another meeting to inako a few
changes iu thu wording of the papers.

quainted with the fact that the bank funds
were protected by a Moslor screw door safe
that would defy expert cracksmen forty-
eight hours. Entrance wns gained to the

Commercial Club llu * a Lively DUciuslon
on Itimirnnce Ante * .
At the monthly meeting of the Commer
cial club last night Secretary Drcxel an
nounced that the present membership wns
702. Of this number 050 are active , working
members. Mr. Drexcl said ho had good
reason to think ttiat the club would
tiavo 1,000 member * in n few months. Dues
to the amount of 50,830 had been collected
nnd f 1,000 had been disbursed in expenses.
Thu secretary predicted that by January 1 ,
the club would ba entirely free from debt.
Thrt prospective location of ttio govern
ment Indian supply depot was discussed.
The executive committee was instructed to
make a formal proposition to the govern
ment to the effect that Omaha would
furnish a suitaole building ut a nominal
rental of ? 4,000 per annum , giving bonds for
faithful performance of contract , provided
that tbo club secures financial backing
vhich will absolve the club from responsi
bility.
CommissionerUtt read tbc correspondence
previously mentioned in Tuc BEE in relation
to the extension of thu St. Paul & Duluth
railway to Omaha. He was authorized ! o
encourage the project , nnd the club dcciaod
to use every effort to secure the new outlet.
The commissioner then read several letters
with relation to the location of n now whole
sale bouse and factory. Ho reported
progress and expressed the belief that his
efforts would be crowned with success.
President Gibbon then brought Tip the sub
ject of insurance rates , needed improvements
in fire protection and lamentable lack of high
water pressure , as was demonstrated at tbo
Farnam Street theater firo. He said that
the people were taxed exorbitant rates for a
high pressure that did not exist when
wanted. The pressure was sufficient to
cause plumbing bill * in profusion , but when
it came to a needed high pressure at a big
fire , he declared with an audible sigh ot
regret that the pressure was not there.
Ho had heird that the fire insurance com-
panics contemplated a raise in rates and
that the cause was poor fire protection. Ho
did not want to see an advance in rates , nnd
thought that" the remedy lay in securing
bolter protection against ire.
Commissioner Utt followed by echoing the
sentiments expressed by the chairman. Ho
read letters from Kansas City and other
cities showing that Omaha rates were lower
at present than elsewhere.
Chris Harttnan was called upon to express
his views upon the subject. Ho frankly
stated that insurance men were rot satisfied
with the valued policy law and the present
fire protection of the city of Omaha. As a
member of the Board ot Fire aud Police
Commissioners he had made every effort to
give good fire protection on the money
at the disposal of the board for
such a purpose. Ho reported that
the fire and police board had recently or
dered another fire enginn , which would be
received February 10 , and ho thought that
with three rncinos nnd better inspection of
mercantile houses and oulldlns the fire in
surance rales would not bo increased , but
doubted nxcoodingly any reduction In
present figures. He said that insurance
rates in other cities of the size
of Omaha , , with better fire protection
wore much higher. , Mr. Hnrtman roasted
the valued policy law and the careless man
ner In which some merchants took chances of
having their property destroyed. He be
lieved that some business men who were in
debt and staring at commercial ploom would
not shed many tears if their property was
destroyed if they were well insured. Ho
said that a raise in rates on high buildings
was in contemplation , but be hoped to stay it
with assurances of better fire protection.
Ho reported ibo present equipment of tbo
lire department , and said the men gave the
best service possiole under the circum
stances.
Captain Palmer upheld the insurance com
panies and cited a number of statistics. Ho
said that 720,000 was paid out by insurance
companies at Omaha in one year.
The question was discussed at length and
In the midst of the discussion a fire alarm
was sounded. There was a general rush for
the windows as the endues dashed down
the street. This brought matters to a head.
Mr. Montgomery moved that the Commer
cial club ask the authorities for a batter
system of inspection and a resolution was
passed authorizing the officers of the club
to take stops toward assisting in securing
an increased appropriation for the Board of
Fire and Police Commissioners. Tne pur
chase of more fire engines was strongly
urged. The general sentiment was hostile
to an increase in insurance rates. The sub
ject of a rigid inspection of cloclrio wiring
in buildings was favorably acted upon , and
tbo dab will urge the appointment of two
inspectors for the general fire protection of
the city. It was generally conceded last
evening that unless prompt action was
taken rates would co up.
At 10 o'clock the meeting adjourned to
meet ono month hence to elect officers and
transact other business of a routine nature.
Thursday evening at 7 o'clock a reception
to the doctors and dentists of the city will
be given at the club room * .

APFA1BS AT SOUTH OMAHA.
Superintendent Hill itiutlen an Important
UeeUloo Other Mafia CUT News.
Having made a tour of the county school * ,
Superintendent Hill has returned to his office
-In the court house , where yesterday morning
ho banded down a decision which will glad
den the hearts of a large number of the
citizens of South Omaha , and at the same
time will end a fight which has been on dur
ing the past eight yean.
As early as 1835 the school district of South
Omaha was created , including all that portion
tion of the corporation which was platted. By
an oversight of tljo superintendent of pnblio
instruction who was in office at that time
tbo western boundary of the district over
lapped tbe eastern boundary of district No.
4 , taking off a strip of its territory one mile
wide and two miles long. Sluoe that time
this strip of country has settled very rapidly
until it has become tbo most populous portion
tion of the city , being a part of tbo Third
ward. Being within the city limits , the
Board of Education of South Omaha has
sought to exercise Jurisdiction over the strip ,
while the officers of district No. 4 have
claimed jurisdiction and hard asked for the
school tax arising from We annual levy.
This has resulted in n c n > aiH conflict of
authority and. ai a result , the Interests of
the schools have suffered.
The officers of listrlcrNoT4 have exacted
tuition from the outside puiiUs who attended
school withli the strip , while the South
Omnha suhnol officers bavd fexacted tuition
fee * from those children - Yio happened to
como from beyond the western boundaries of
the strip.
In passing upon the question Superintend
ent Hill holds that the strip of land is n part
of the school district of South Omaha and
that the children of the city" have n rlcht to
attend the school that is maintained therein ,
and without paying UiUioirto the other dis
trict , which , by reason elf the decision , Is
made separate and disllfict.

Mayor Wnlkor Monday' ' evening nlloxvoJ
ordinance No. fit ! to become a law without his
signature , lids U tno ordinance locating a
dozen or more lira hydrants in different portions
tions of the city.
Only a few months njo the mayor vetoed
an ordinance similar to this ono , giving then
his reason for so dolnt ; thai the law road
very plainly on this matter that no such ex
pense could be legally created unless an ap
propriation was made for that , spec'illc pur-
JK > so , Tno ordinance .fas lost , and later on
another was sprung which covered the same
ground. This is the one the mayor allowed
to bccotno a law Monday night without his
signature.
In speaking of the ordinance yester
day morning Major Wnllccr * ald : "There
is no person , in the city of South
Omaha who would like to see bet
ter fire facilities than mysolf. But in
order to protect my bondsmen I could not
sign the ordinance. Tbo law says that an
appropriation for that specific purpose must
first bo made by the council botoro the work
can bo ordered done. This is why I pursued
the course I did. "
A Kick ou Carrnll.
Sheriff-elect Drczul a few days ago ap
pointed John Carroll of this city ns ono of
his doputtes , Since the appointment has
becorno generally known there has been a
kick registered by some of Iho democrats ,
who claim that Carroll does not represent
the party here. John J. O'Rourko U ono ot
these men. John is also a candidate for a
doputyshlp. Mr. O'Rourko's name also ap
pears on the endorsement of Mr. Carroll.
The Joffersonlauclubof Omaha has taken
a hand in the matter , and it may bs that
enough influence will bo brought to
bear to cause Mr. Drcxel to change his
selection. Mr. Drexel left the selection of
the South Omaha deputy to some of the
democrats hero and it seems that Carroll se
cured the endorsement of the moguls who
were allowed to dicVatc. Mr. Brennan , who
was at one time chief of police here , was
tendered the dcputyship , but refused to ac
cept it. Some of the democrats would like
to see O'Rourke get the deputyship under
Drexel in order to keep htm from attempt
ing to run for mayor here in the spring.
Concert and Kecltil.
The concert and recital given last night
under the auspices of the South Onmha
Baptist church proved to bo a flattering
success. The church was filled nnd the pro-
pram was excellent in detail. Mrs. Mary E.
Monroe of this city gave three recitations
and was tendered a perfect ovation. Al
though Mrs. Monroe hut recently made ho
debut as an elocutionist , her efforts have
met with splendid success. . When it is an
nounced that the balance of tno program
consisted of numbers , by. Mrs. Cotton ,
Mrs. Moclier. Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Lum-
bard , with Prof. J. E- " Butler as pianist
it is sufficient to know the affair was of a
iiisli musical order. Each solo , duet and
quartet was warmly received , and the
singers responded naptflly. These concerts
are given annually by theBaptist church
and are the musical events of the season in
South Omaha. _ '
