Tlio larco room In tlio county building ,
wliero tlio criminal section of tlio district
court Is licltl , was turned Into a lecture Imll
} V3tor < lay nncl for a tlmo Juilco Scott ,
tlio presiding magistrate , delivered ono of
lilt ) ncorclilng discourses , selecting "anmb-
HIIK" for tlio subject.
Tor four yearn Fred C. Luccblsl , a man
jfow 21 years of ngc , liad been tlio con
fidential clerk and trusted employe of the
Oinnlin News company of tills clty < Last
October II. J. Hanker , tlio manager of tlio
concern , had occasion to leave tlio city fern
n few il.iyH and upon his return ho dis
covered that Lucchlsl had drawn $910 of
company funds out of the bank and had
xklppcd. Tito matter wiui turned over to
the police nnd Captain Mostyn was de-
tiilleil to locate the defaulting cleric In his
biding place. Uko many other caseB of a
similar kind"there win tlio tell tale letter ,
which In this Instance was written from
Ne\v York city and Rent to a woman In
Omaha , ono of Lucchlst's admirers. In the
courBo of tlmo this tender missive fell Into
the hands of the ofllccr , who at once pro-
coe.'led to New York and made the arrest.
Upon returning to Omaha the defaulting
rlcrk waived examination and was held to
the district court , whcro the trial was held
last week and a conviction secured by
County Attorney Kaley , I.ucchlsl admitting
the tutting of the money , but maintaining
that It was not a theft , as he insisted that
ho'had authority to draw the funds from
the bank nnd that It was only a case of the
misappropriation of funds. A motion for anew
now trial was made , argued and overruled ,
and yesterday the man was arraigned for
sentence.
THEN CAME THE LECTURE.
It was while called upon to Impose the
iciitcnco that Judge Scott was inspired to
deliver bis lecture , the point of which was
aimed at the city and county offlclala.
Lucchlsl had been orderc.il to stand up and
the in front of
was on bin way to position
the bench when Judge Scott asked , "What
did you do with this money which you took
from the Omaha News company ? "
"Spent most of It , " promptly responded the
prisoner.
"Spend any of It In the gambling houses ? "
asked the court , as ho warmed up to the
biibjcct. , ,
"Left about $200 of It with the 'Diamond'
and the rest I took away with mo when I
left town , " replied the defaulting clerk.
"That's It exactly , " continued Judge Scott ,
ns ho commenced to boll over with indigna
tion. "You thought that you could make a
little money this way and you wcro dragged
Into this bell. Hero you uro on the road to
the penitentiary and the men who are ( he
criminals are allowed to go free , simply be
cause their robbing Is sanctioned by the offi
cials who wink tholr eyes at the commission
of crime. 1 want to say that the man who
runs that gambling house Is more guilty than
you and that if It bad not been for him you
would have had the money yet. "
Hero Lucchlsl volunteered the Information
that ho bucked the faro table and the
roulette wheel. Ho was stopped by the
court , vho asked : "Were tki-ro any police
men around to see that order was main
tained while you were losing your money ? "
Liiccblsl declared that ho did not sec
any of the minions of the law at the time ,
and then Judge Scott unllmbered bis bat
teries again by denouncing the whole affair
as most terrible. "Here , " ho said , "Is a
young man going Into a gambling house
right hero In this city , In a supposed law-
abiding community , and losing his money
while the parties who take It are allowed
to go unpunished. It Is a most damnable
policy and one which should be condemned.
A city government shutting Its eyes and
licensing the commission of a felony for the
paltry sum of $150 per month. They want
mo to keep still , but I will novcr keep still
while these men are allowed to commit
felonies and tholr victims are sent to the
penitentiary. "
f ' 'fuming his attention to Lucchlsl once
more , Judge Scott said : "These men who
make It possible for you to lose your money
nnd then go to prison , go unwhlpped , while
upon your head must bo wreaked all of the
vengeance of the law. .
"Tho men who sanction and allow this
gambling In violation of the state laws are
worse than the gamblers themselves. Those
men I will condemn nnd say that they
violate their oaths of oulce and perjure
themselves at the same tlmo. "
It looked as. though the storm was over ,
but It was not , and again It burst out with
renewed fury , while the county attorney
caught It , fore and aft.
HOW LONO. 0 , CATALINE.
"Mr. Prosecutor , " asked the court , "bow
long will this thing continue ; how much
longer am I to bo compelled to send boys
to the penitentiary ; how much longer are
these men to go unpunished and how much
longer ore the laws of the state to bo violated
lated right hero under your nose ? "
"I don't know as I have anything to do
with the matter so long as licenses nro Is
sued and the matter Is not called to my at
tention. " - .
"There It Is again , " retorted Judge Scott ,
"I am commanded to kccp still oven If the
very stones of the street cry out against
this crime. "
"So far as the commission of the crime
of which this man Is convicted , " ventured
the county attorney , "I don't BOO as It has
anything to do with gambling. If bo did
gamble , ho did not gamble away this money
until after ho stole It from the complaining
witness , and as I understand It , Lucchlul
was convicted of grand larceny and not
gambling. "
"There are none so blind as those who
will not see , " quickly retorted the judge.
"If this boy had not gambled , ho would not
have taken the money , and as I have said
before , I am pretty near tired of sentencing
boys to the penitentiary. "
"Tho trouble with you , young man , " turn
ing again to Lucchlsl , "Is that you have no
politics ! to dispense. If you bad any politics
that you could give out , you might bo li
censed , which would save you from coming
up hero to bo sentenced to prison. "
Having completed the lecture , tlio judge
announced that ho would think the matter
over before Imposing the sentence , and with
this the young man 'was sent back to the
county Jail.

As soon as Mayor Bemis readied his office
yesterday ho called a conference of the
Board of Public : Works , city attorney , city
engineer and chief of police to discuss meas
ures for a more prompt compliance with the
ordinance relative to the cleaning of sidewalks -
walks after n snowstorm.
It was sot forth that all citizens falling to
clean the walks in front of their residences
wcro liable to arrest and fine , and that nil
unoc.cupied property was subject to special
assessment to pay for doing this work.
After a lengthy perusal and discussion of
the ordinances and hearing an opinion on the
subject from the city attorney the chief of
police was Instructed to have his patrolmen
call on nil citizens falling to remove the
snow from tbo walks within n rcnnonnblo
time after the cessation of the
fall nnd refresh their memories
with reference to the orcllnananco. It
wns the opinion of the oniclnls there
congregated that citizens would promptly
hecU the warning , rather than submit to the
annoyance ami expense of arrest nnd lino.
The mayor was of the opinion that it was an
outrage to compel people to tramp n path
through the snow , when u Hula attention
and exertion on the part of Individuals would
obviate the necessity of ltv Ho thought that
the majority of people did very well in
this matter , but thorp was generally ono or

For years it has been the custom to bavo

county building done by the men from the
county Jail. Several times the members of
the Central Labor union Imvo pro

turned down and con\iut labor has boon

speaking of the matter , Mr , Jenkins said
that there were any number of good , honor

ECONOMY DEMANDED.
The committee called attention to the fol
lowing Increases In expenditures that seemed
to bo moro than was necessary : Horse feed ,
nn increase of $915.63 ; gas , which showed
an Increase of J391.05 , nnd also the Increase
for miscellaneous Items.
Mr. Strlckler estimated that the nro de
partment would require for the ensuing yeaf
$113,000 , and even that sum * will not allow
the purchase of any new material. The
money available on the basis of a 5-mlll
levy will bo $91.000 , and there Is a balance
In the fund of $1,400 from last year. This
will leave a deficit of $20,000. An addi
tional mill levy would cover the amount.
It was recommended that the most rigid
economy bo practiced In all departments
and that the chief bo required to make a
requisition the llrst of every month for the
street ; Charles R nouffur , 721 South Tbir-
same approved by the board. It was recom
mended that all horse feed be weighed on
the city scales , and that the city council be
requested to pay tlio rent of fire engine
houses.
The report called attention to the splendid
service ot the engines at the Boston store
flro and the poor service of the water works.
The board spent considerable time In ex
ecutive session , considering the items of the
report and laying plans for carrying out Its
recommendations , but came to no definite
conclusion.
Licenses to sell liquor wore granted to :
Henry Uosenfeldt , 023 North Sixteenth
supplies needed for that month , and have the
teenth street ; William Schmidt , 171G South
Tenth street ; O. W. Tlerney , 101 South
Thirteenth street , and Omajia Brewing com
pany , 819 Dodge street.
The license Inspector reported several Ir
regularities by parties whoso respective
licenses were Issued for certain numbers ,
while they were selling at others. The clerk
was Instructed to notify the parties and have
them appear before the board at the next
meeting and explain the matter.
Mayor Bomls presented to the board an
open letter by James Fee , published In the
Laborer , making charges that members of
the board were countenancing gambling and
prostitution In tbo city and that some of the
members of the board were renting buildIng -
Ing for that purpose. Mr. Coburn said that
ono portion of the charge concerning the
building called the Travelers Homo probably
referred to him ; that'at ono tlmo ho rented
the building as the agent of the McMenamy
estate , but bo bad long ceased to have any
business connection with It. Mr. Hartman
said ho had been Informed that a building
owned by , hlm wan being used ns n policy
shop , but it was subleased for that purpose
by the man to whom ho rented It * > and ho
was taking steps to get the present tenant
out.
out.GAMBLING
GAMBLING QUESTION DISCUSSED.
This matter , however , brought up the
whole , gambling question and Mr. Strlckler
made quite an animated address on the
subject In which ho urged that the board
taco the matter fully and squarely and Indi
cate to the" chief In unequivocal language
lust what Its desires are In this matter.
Mr. Hartmau moved the adoption of tbo
substitute offered by him.
After considerable talk on the same
Ino that has been given whenever this ques
tion has been before this board , but without
loveloplng anything now , Mr. Coburn said
.liat at the next meeting of the board ho
would have eoino remarks to make on tbo
jubject and then ho would bo ready and wil
ing to vote on It. With this understand
ing It went over for one week.
The question of making Bomo arrange
ments with the sheriff to go after fugitives
from justice caino up , nnd Chief Seavey
said ono reason wny ho recommended It wns
that the department needed ull Its men , us
It was short even when they were all here ,
and for the further reason that It was n
matter that always caused moro or less Jeal
ousy In the department. The resolution was
passed.

OMAHA'S GARBAGE.

The now garbage contract which the city
made with A. Macdonald some tlmo ngo docs
not seem to be the money-maker that some
of the opponents of the contract claimed It
would be. Mr. Macdonuld has gone to n
consldernblo expense to get the necessary
equipments for the proper handling of the
business , but has not been as successful as
ho desired In getting the business , nnd
claims bo Is losing money every day on bis
contract , and sees no chance of doing bet
ter unless the Hoard of Health enters upon
a moro vigorous enforcement of the sanitary
regulations of the city.
Newton NIday , Mr. Macdonald's manager ,
yesterday showed a reporter over tbo plant of
tbo contractor. Two dumps bavo been ar
ranged , ono at Jones street and the other at
the foot of Dodge street , for the loading of
the cars on which the garbage Is hauled to
tbo country. These cars , too , have been
built expressly for the garbage business.
They are on the pattern of the stock cars ,
and nro divided Into four compartments , nnd
BO built that they can bo cailly unloaded.
At the Jones street plant a bouso has .been
built for the handling of night soil and dead
animals. This building Is BO arranged that
the contents of the night soil wagons are
taken In largo Iron tanks designed for tbo
purpose , and placed on the ears without
opening. The tanks are made air tight and
can bo handled nt any tlmo without being
offensive. Every equipment that would
facilitate the handling of the business has
been provided by Mr. Macdonald.
The contractor Is now handling two cars
of garbage dally. Ono of these cars con
tains about thirty-two square ynrds of
manure and thirty barrels ot garbage. This
would give the contractor ? 7.SO. The freight
on the car Is $ C , so that h3 has but ? 1.SO
on each car to meet tho. expense of two
dump men and three men and teams. Mr.
Macdonald uays his expenses nro $22.50 n
day and his receipts but the proceeds of two
carloads of gnrbngo dally , BO that ho lu
losing nt lenst $15 a day In the business.
Ho complains that Uncle Sam Is ono of
the customers who Is giving him the worst
of It. The government currnl bus an nvcr-
ngo of twenty loads of manure each day.
This IH being dumped In the btreet down
below the corral Instead of being hauled to
the cars of the garbage contractor.
There Is a good deal of trouble In getting
the garbage from householders. Most of
them refusn to pay for having the stuff
hauled away nnd claim they will wait till
spring before they bavo n general clean up.
Mr. Macdonald la anxiously waiting for the
Board of Health to got Its corps of Inspcc- .
tors In the Hold so that the business ot
cleaning the city imy bo done In a thor
ough and systematic manner.

TRUE CHARITY.
One Family < ihr IH l.ust I.onf of Hrcuil to
u I'onrrr Neighbor.
Special Offlcer Edgohlll of Rescue ball had
a case reported to him that furnishes nn'
excellent Illustration of the true charitable
spirit.
The case was not reported to him through
the regular channels nnd It wus only after
chasing up a rumor that ho found It out.
Up In his neighborhood , and In fact near
where he lives , reside two families and both
are In equally poor circumstances , neither
for the space of two days having any food In
the house. They were neighbors and the
children of each family played together , but
the acquaintance of tbo parents was limited.
About two weeks ago affairs became worse
nnd for want of nourishment sickness ap
peared In one of the families nnd with
destitution staring them on every hand It
was Indeed a sorry spectacle that presented
Itself to the parents. The mother also be
came confined during this time and she lay
In bed with only an excuse for a covering.
There was not a mouthful of food In the
house and such a thing as a little nourishing
broth for the sick woman was not to bethought
thought of. Theio she \\ih without any
thing to cat. Soon they must perish , but
they had always been used to plenty and
were a little backward about having their
circumstances made known. In the mean
time the other family was 'in a like condi
tion. However , the sick woman must have
something to eat and so she sent her little
Rlrl to the grocery to get a loaf of bread ,
but the grocer refused to let her have It
without the money. The girl was returning
tiome and crying when she met a playmate ,
the daughter of tbo other poor family. The
girls talked a few moments and during the
conversation the girl Who went for the bread
related her story nnd also told about her
mother being ill nnd nothing to cut In the
liouso. Her playmate then said that some
one bad brought them a loaf of bread and
that It she would come homo with her she
would ask her mother to give her a part of
the bread and she could take It home. The
girls went into the house and the case wns
stated to the mother. She at once got the
, vliolo loaf of bread and the only tiling 8he
; iad to cut , _ too , and. ave It to the girl to
: ako homo to liio slckvoman. .
In some way this fact leaked out and
slnd- neighbors took both cases In hand and
.ho sick woman and the woman who gave
up the last mouthful to save another from
starving do not want for anything now.
The names of the parties nro withheld by
request.
