InKi nnil the councMinanlc frlcnJs of tlic
Tomson-Hotistoii waned a hitter bflttlo
nKalnst tlic now concern tliat seeks n foot-
liolil In Omaha , but the opposition muHtPred
the majority of votes , nnil after n stubbornly
contested Htriisglo the report of the cominlt-
tro rcconinicnilltiB the award of the contract
for street lighting to the new company was
adopted.
The report staled that the bid of the now
company -van the lowest , and recommended
the award of the contract based on the filing
of n suitable bond In the Him of $25,000 with
in three ilnya for full compliance with the
termi of the bid.
Ilanrall opened the ball with a motion to
reject all bids , claiming that the Indiana
rompany had not organized and nothing ns
Vnnr.n about It. Ilff scored the committee
for bringing In the report , and said that the
bid was only made for the purpose of secur
ing u subway franchise. He stated that It
was Impossible for the rompany to get n
plant In operation In six months and the city
would bo left In darkness If any imrh niovo
was made. Ho claimed to have a straight
tip that the president of the company was
now In New York In straightened circum
stances , and that the representative of the
concern now In the city was "only a travelIng -
Ing man for an eastern electric light com.
pany that did not want the contract. "
.lacobson , Wheeler. Saimders. I'nrkcr and
Kdwards also opposed the report , while
Holmes , Howetl and Klsiisser led the fight
in Its favor.
Motions to lay the matter over for a week
nnd two weeks were defeated by a vote of 10
to 8 , and the report was finally adopted ,
after being amended so ns to make Iho bond
conditional on the granting of a franchise to
the new company , by the following vote :
Yeas Hruner , IJurklcy , Calm , Klsasser ,
Holmes , I emly , McAndrcws , Spccht , Thomas ,
Mr. President 10. Nays Uack , Ueche ! ,
Kdwards , HaBcall , Jacobsen , Parker , Soun
ders , Wheeler 8.
Wheeler questioned the correctness of the
record of the meeting of February 111 , rela
tive to n motion made by him touching the
reference of the. electric light bids to a com-
mltlco to ascertain the responsibility and
financial standing of the new firm that has
entered the Held as a bidder. Ho Insisted
that this was proper and that the record
should be corrected , an a report of this kind
should bo required before the bids could be
considered.
The gentleman from the Fourth could not
muster sufficient' sympathy , however , 'to
carry his point , as the Wiley contingent
did not seem to bo able to force anything
lookln : ; to delay In this matter.
SEVERAL VETOES HANDLED.
The mayor vetoed the claim of C. P.
Bclndorff for balance duo as architect of
the city hall for the reason that the claim
was an unjust one , as the architect hart
already been largely overpaid ; that there nrc
BerloiiH defects In the building duo to the
blunders of the architect , and that the city
attorney and assistant city attorney were
both of tlio opinion that the claim could be
successfully resisted In court. The veto was
overridden by the following vote : Yeas ,
Hack , liccliol , Hruner , Edwards , Hasc.ill ,
Holmes , Jaeobson , .MoAndrcnu , I'.trker ,
Saunders , Thomas , Wheeler 12. Nays ,
llurkloy , Calm , ElsaHser , Lemly , Specht , Mr.
I'resldent C.
Hack first voted In the negative , but
changed hi.s vote In tltno to override the
veto nnd [ secure Sir. llolmlorff his money.
The mayor's veto of nn Item In the ap
propriation ordinance , being the January bill
of the Thomson-Houston Electric Light com
pany for $2,611.52 , was overridden by the fol
lowing vote : Ayes Uack , Bechel. Edwaids ,
Hascall , Holmes , Jacobsen , McAndrews ,
1'arkor , Saunders , Spccht , Thomas , Wheeler
12. Nays Druncr , Hurkley. Calm , EI-
Baasor , Lcmly , Mr. President 0.
Next came a veto of the bill of W. S. Ilutch-
inson for placing smoke consumers In the
city hall. The mayor's reason was Unit the
consumer was a failure. The veto was BUS-
talncd by the vote of all the council , with
the exception of Hascall , Jacobsen , Specht ,
Wheeler and Mr. President.
Another veto touched the claim of the Sun
Vapor Lighting company because of a cler
ical error. The vote was not sustained , but
the error was ordeicd corrected.
A communication from the building Inspector
specter relative to the discharge of Sewer
Inspector Morrison by the Hoard of Public
Works when ho was appointed by the mayor
and council was referred to the city attorney
to ascertain the legal status of the case ami
report an ordinance. If necessary , to establish

DEVERELL IS DUILDINR INSPECTOR. .
The mayor sent In the appointment of
George Uovoroll 03 building Inspector ,
Parker wanted It to go to the committed on
Judiciary nnd Jacobsen Insisted on Immedi
ate action on confirmation.
Saunders moved a reucss of ten minutes
and It was so ordered. U did not take long
to rovcal the fact that UeVerell had votes to
nparc , and the parties who tried to work a
Iiold-up game to secure promises as to minor
positions In that ofllco found llttlo comfort
in It.
The appointment was confirmed by the
votes of all but Hruner , Calm , Wheeler , Has-
call and McAndrows , the latter two absent
ing thomeselves from the chamber duilng
the roll call.
The newly appointed Inspector filed his
bond , signed by II. H , Coryell , E. F. Slovcrs
nnd C. U , Hutchlnson , nnd It was approved
without reference to the city attorney , to
\\hom Wheeler was determined to send It.
Holmes Introduced a conciincnt resolution
calling for the Immediate grading of Jcffer-
bou square so m to put It In shape , for the
erection of n market houae. It was opposed
by Wheeler and Hascall , but carried by a
vote of 10 to C , SaundcrR stating that this
would leave the matter In shape for any ono
who BO desired to take the matter Into court.

Today Lett & DavIV company will
close the prcxcnt engagement nt the Iloyd
by giving two performances of William
Hnworth'H patriotic naval drama , "Tho En-
sign" n matinee at 2:30 : In the afternoon ,
at which the prices will be 2 ! > c. GOc and
TGc , and the regular evening performance at
8. The company Is nn exceptionally good
one , nnd Is playing to good business ,
Lottie Collins and the Howard Athcncum
company nro filing the Fifteenth Street the-
ntor to Its capacity nt ovcry performance.
The famous Tn-ra-ra dance , ns executed by
Its originator , .Miss Collins , Is catching the
midlcnces and Is ( jnltc as popular as when
11 rut. Introduced. The other specialties me
brighter nnd newer than ever.
Commencing tomorrow evening nnd for
three nights , with Saturday matinee , at the
Fifteenth Street theater comes Leander
Richardson's new melodrama , "Under the
City Lamps , " which has been so highly
spoken of by eastern critics that there Is a
great deal of Interest felt In It In advance.
The plnv deals with New York life , and
shows all phases of existence In America's
great Habylon. H has been written by a
man thoroughly conversant \\lth the sub
ject ho treats , nnd the local color Is
therefore to bo depended upon for Its truth
as well as brilliancy. The largo stnKO of
the Fifteenth Street theater \\1II bo taxed to
Its utmo t to accommodate all the ponderous
scenery and the large numbers of performers
that will appear In some of the scenes , nnd
everything will be cleared off to make room
for the ponderous "sets" that are carried
by fie ratnpiiiiy. and that are said to have
cost $30,000."I'mler the City Lamps" will
bo ns carefully and elaborately produced
here arf It will be during the Ions run
whlrh Is projected for It nt the Fourteenth
Street theater , New York , commencing next
month. All the new , beautiful and Intilcato
scenery will be used. The acting company
comprises many stage favorites , among
whom may be mentioned Mark Lynch , Wil
liam Humphrey , Charles 12. Dunnell , Mabel
Craig. .Marlon I' . Clifton at l the remarkable
child actress , Essio Graham , and thirty
others.
Gentle loveliness and delicate tenderness
are popularly esteemed to be the most strik
ing charactciistlcs of Miss Marlowe's art.
Yet It has been aptly said that when she
essays the part of arch and port sauclness
with a lively tongue and biting wit , her
peer Is to be found only In the past or fu
ture. Such roles she s > eems to nt and such
to lit her , she to adorn them and they her ,
as do lici gowns become her and she her
gowns. Sheridan Knowles' line old comedy ,
"The Love Chase , " Is by no means n one-
part play. Desldes affording Miss Mnrlowo
brilliant artistic opportunities It draws upon
the full strength of her admirable support ,
which Includes Rose Eytlnge , most happily
cast as "tho charming Widow Green. " Miss
Marlowe's repertoire ut the Hoyd will bo as
follows : Thursday night , "Tho Love Chase ; "
Friday night and .iturday snatlnee , "Romeo
and Juliet , " and' Saturday night , "Twelfth
Night. " The sale of seats wll open this

pearanco this season , Is one of the youngest
American play-writers , Iho merit of whoso
recent work Is attracting much attention.
"Fra Dlano , " produced by Joseph Haworth
some seasons ago first called public atten
tion to the writer , and gave evidence of his
superior qualities. "Doris" Is his latest
nnd most extensive work , and promises to bo
his most successful. During her forthcom
ing engagement at the Iloyd , Miss Ellsler
will present "Doris" Monday and Tuesday
evenings and at the Wednesday matinee ,

FOUND DEAD.
Circumstance * of Urorgo Young's I.ifo
Ciuma Smno .Siixjilcloti of .Suicide.
George Young , a watchman at the Union
Pacific yards , was found dead In his room
at Mr. Martin's , 1G12 Hurt street , at 4:1C :
yesterday afternoon.
The coroner was sent for and nn examina
tion made of the man's effects.
There is nothing to show tb/xt death was'
not from natural causes , but the fact that
Young had had domestic tro/blo has created
some suspicion of suicide. To the express
man , Mrlfcorn , who moved his furniture to
the room , ho eald that ho intended to leave
his wife and that she had ijono to the home
of her parents at Dayonne , N. J. He formerly
lived with his wife and daughter nt 803
North Eighteenth street. Miss Halt , n neigh
bor , who was seen last evening , said Mrs.
Young had often complained to her of hav
ing been abused by her husband and that
they were going to part. She had made the
same complaints to Mrs. Schaeffer , nt 1S03
Charles street , going so far as to say that
she thought her husband might kill her and
her daughter and himself , as ho had often
threatened to do so.
When Mr. and Mrs. Young separated the
latter went Ito .837 South Twenty-fourth
street and told her friends that she would
go by the name of Mrs. Nellie Drown In
order the better to conceal herself from her
husband. When told of his death last
evening she did not seem to bo affected nnd
said she would go to the morgue and see to
the disposition of the body.
Young was DO years old.

Applicant * for Work.
Hecently a number of young men. In re
sponse to an advertisement , applied for a
position as collector Tor an ofllco In the
Frenzer block. Previously the manager of
the Institution had employed Messrs.
Emmcrt & Delong to look after the can
vassing nnd collecting patt of the business.
These nro the young men who weie arrested
In this city about two months ago for tha
famous cash register swindling scheme , and
It was with them that the applicants con
ferred.
Though the advertisement was for but ono
collector , all who applied wore told that they
would bo given work nnd each was required
to deposit $10 ns reenrlty for the money that
was to bo handled , and call at the ofllco a few
days afterward ,
Monday several of the applicants called ,
when It was found that the two young men
had left nnd the manager mild ho could not
refund the deposits as lie had received noth
ing from Emmurt and Delany. The cuso
was at OIICQ reported to the police nnd a call
nt the room of the young men nt Thirteenth
nnd Dodjro streets revealed that they and
their baggage were gone. It Is thought that
their trick netted them about $100 . Whether
an attempt will bo made to hold the man
ager responsible for their fraud has not been
determined ,

Love laughs at locksmiths but does not In
dulge In many giggles when n wronged wlfo
suddenly appears on the scene , accompanied
by her trunk and a temper. F. A. Pierce , n
traveling man who resides , or rather did re
side , at1211 Harncy street , \\lll endorse this
assertion ,
Jlr. Plercu Is on the road now selling fire
proof vaults for a certain eastern linn.
Things are growing exceedingly warm around
Omaha for Mr. Pierce. If It grows much
hotter he may bo compelled to don a suit of
asbestos cloth , crawl Into one of his sala
mander retreats and forget the combination
In order to escape the scorching that Is In
store for him If he does not overcome certain - ,
tain domestic eccentricities.
The old homo on west Harncy street Is not
what It used to be. The fern leafed motto
of "Welcome" Is now facing the wall paper.
The original Mrs. Pierce Is "at home. " Mr.
Plerco and a tall and Interesting brunette ,
who formerly resided there , arc sojourning
In Iowa. Mrs. Pierce Is holding the fort and
Is prepared to go Into a state of siege to re
tain possession.
HOW THR STORY GOGS.
According to the story the gay and fes
tive traveling man had the degree of hus
band conferred upon him In a Now Kng-
land town. Ho led a blushing bjuc-cycd
brldo to the altar and lived with her for
eleven years. She still has the experience
and a marriage certificate. About a year
ago Mrs. Pierce left her husband. Later , It
Is alleged , he became Infatuated with a tall
young woman named Miss Mary Adams ,
who was born In the famous blue grass re
gions of old Kentucky. Mr. Pierce , In
height , was six feet two , and Miss Adams
was six feet , too , Plerco travels through
Iowa. Miss Adams removed to Centervllle
from Kentucky. They met. Pierce Is n
handsome man an Ideal of physical de
velopment. Somewhat lonesome In his grass
wldowerhood ho wooed Miss Adams. The
coiiplo came to Omaha six months ago and
resided on West Farnam street. Mrs.
Pierce , the original , was In the meantime
living In Chicago. Plerco kept up an oc
casional correspondence with her , but said
nothing about the fact that ho was residing
with another woman. But she found It
out and Immediately vowed vengeance. For
four long months the plucky wlfo searched
In vain to locate the house In which the
couple were residing. Notwithstanding her
domestic cnstrangenient from Mr. Pierce ,
she could not bear the tnought of another
woman presiding over his household , with
out the fornjallty of securing a divorce from
the original object of his affections. With
relentless energy and grim determination
she camped on the trail of the traveling
man. Her porseverence was rewarded in
Omaha last Tuesday morning , when she
located the pair at 4211 Harney street and
gave them a surprise party. Without an
nouncing the fact on the bill boards or any
of the frills of formality , No. 1 swooped
down upon the domicile and struck terror
to the heai.ts of the Inmates. She upbraided
her husband roundly , and withered her rival
with looks of silent contempt. Closely fol
lowing the ai rival of the "visitor , " there
came a trunk of liberal dimensions. She had
come to .stay and maintain her rights. Mr.
Plerco wore a sort of I-wlsli-I-were-a-blrd
look.
BEAT A UETREAT.
The sequel of the arrival of No. 1 was the
hasty departure of Mr. Plerco and No. 2 the
same day. Ho went on the road. She re
turned to Centervllle. The woman who had
the prior claim on Mr. Pleice's lieait , took
possession of the house and Is now queen of
all she surveys. The affair created a sensa
tion In the neighborhood. Sentiment is
largely with the present commandant of
"Fort Plerco. "
A Bee reporter braved the moving side
walks and sweeping currents In the vicinity
of Forty-second and Harr.ey atrects yojterjay
nnd found Mrs. Plerco at homo. She was
adverse to giving full details of the
affair , stating that she preferred to await
the return of Mr. Pierce to the city. Mrs.
Plerco Is a good looking , well dressed
woman , In the prime of life. She has the
mannerisms of n refined woman , and as a
diplomatist she Is entitled to a cushioned
seat In the front row.
Speaking of the affair yesterday she
said : "I nm the lawful wife of F. A. Pierce.
Wo have not lived together for over six
months. I left for cause. Ho and this other
woman got up a case shortly after I left my
husband. I was apprised of the fact and
determined to stop that llttlo game. For
flvo months I have followed up a clew and
finally located them In Omaha. They
moved scveril times while residing In
this city , but finally I located
them In this house. 1 propose to hold the
fort and I am prepared to do U. If my
husband attempts to dislodge mo ho will
regret It. In his hurried departure last
week , he left a revolver behind. It Is
loaded. Ho may think I- cannot defend
myfcclf , but I'll just fool him on that score.
"In nil this trouble 1 Muvo fought my
battles alone. No one has assisted mo and
I did my own detective work. Mr. Plerco
Is now on the road. Ho Is at Mount Ayer ,
la. , and I have written him to como to
Omaha at once. If ho knows what Is good
for him ho will do so. We ara not di
vorced. IIo has only sent mo $10 to sup
port mo In six months. When I
found his money was keeping another
household I naturally objected. Mr , Pierce
Is G2 years old. Ho has been a traveling
man for clghtvbii years and Is known all
over the country. His folks reside In Now
Bedford , Mass. The woman whom I routed
out of the lionso Is Mary Adams of Center-
vine , la. I do not know whether shu Is mar
ried to him or not.
"I have got the cinch on Mr. Plerco any
way you may take It. If ho Is married to
her nnd 1ms no divorce ho Is u bigamist. If
not ho Is guilty of adultery. In the mean
time I will retain possession of this place. "
"Hood's Pills uro mild and pleasant to
take nnd perform thtslr work perfectly. "

NEBRASKA PHOTOGRAPHERS.
State Asxnrlntlon In Si-mlon In Omuliu
TlioMi tt'lio Am Here.
The State Photographers association con
vened In Its thltd annual scslon at the Max
Meyer hall yesterday nftcrnoom There were ,
present n largo number of the guild from
outside the city , both from the stale am
from western Iowa.
The forenoon was taken up In placing It
poaltlon the displays of the various photogra
phers nnd of the manufacturers of photo
graphic supplies. The latter , especially
make a very fine showing , nnd those who
have not attended one of these gatherings
have very little Idea of the perfection
which the photographic art has attained
The showing made by the manufacturers
docs not comprise work done by themselves
but a collection of the finest specimens ob
tainable In all parts of the country from
artists who are using their goods.
The displays made by local artists demon
strate that they are In no wise behind their
brethren In other cities.
At noon the members of the association
met at a local gallery and had their pictures
taken In a group. In the afternoon the first
business session was held. After hearing
the report of the treasurer , showing the
association to bo In a nourishing condition
financially , the question of prices was
brought up and almost the entire afternoon
was consumed In discussing it. The opinion
of the majority was that members of the
association should not engage In cutting
prices , even If H was commenced by a com
petitor , but by doing superior work command
the patronage of the public.
A short time was then spent In discussing
the merits nnd demerits of various pictures
exhibited and In explanations ns to how
some of the work was done , after which the
meeting adjourned until 9:30 : this morning.
In the evening the members of the associ
ation accepted Iho Invitation of the Heyn
Photographic Supply company to attend the
Boyd and later In the evening sat down to a
banquet provided for them by the agents
of the various manufacturers of photo
graphic goods.

Handsome Photographs.
J. F. Kdgeworth , representing Cramer's
Dry Plate works of St. Louis , has on exhibi
tion In the convention hall an unusually fine
collection of photographs. They show the
quality of work vhlcli the Cramer dry
plates produce , an-3 the praise bestowed upon
them by the best artists In the convention Is
conclusive proof of the meilt of the work.
There are a great variety of subjects. Dana
of New York , SteK of Milwaukee and Landey
of Cincinnati are among the artists whoso
work Is shown. A specially noteworthy
piece is a photo taken on the race track.
The subject Is the homo stretch nt the finish
of a 2:24 : trotting heat. The three horses
show up nearly as perfect as though they
wcro not In motion.
