of n Number of .Street ) .
In the municipal cemetery , commonly
known as the Joint electric light committee ,
another grave was filled at the regular meet
ing of the city council last evening. Messrs.
Pardee & Co , presented a communication
relative to their bidding for electric lighting ,
which was accepted by the council some tlmo
ago , and the matter was respectfully In
terred In that sepulchcral field where all
matters obnoxious to Mr. Wiley's Interests
arc quietly laid to rest. The communication
presented by Pardeo & Co. Is as follows :
Omaha , June 2t ! . To the Honorable Mayor
nnd City Council , Omaha : Uentleinen On
February 13 , 1191 , we presented to your
honorable body a bid for lighting the
HtrectB of the city of Omaha In uccoulancc
with an advertisement published In the
official paper , tinted January 31 , 1691 , call
ing for sealed bids for n term of three
years , commencing March 1 , 1191.
On the 27th of February your committee
on gas and electric lights reported , recom
mending that the contract be awarded to
us upon condition Hint within three days
we deliver a bond In tliu sum of J25,000.
This report was duly adopted , and within
three days we filed with the city clerk our
bond , slKiicd Pardeo & Co. , principal , anil
Bamuel U. Mercer , mirety ,
The bond wns In due nnd proper form
nnd was In accordance with the terms upon
which the nwanl was made to us. This
bond was referred to the committees on
judiciary , telegraph and telephone poles and
clcctrlo lights nnd subways. One of the
conditions of our bid and our bond was
that n proper franchise for commercial
ns well as public lighting should be granted
to us. Our bid and bond have remained
unacted upon until the present time , for
the reason that no "proper franchise" had
been returned. At the meeting of your
tionornole-body on June > ll the general fran
chise ordinance , known RH the Ha cnll
ordinance , was duly passed , and we observe
in the olllcliil paper of last evening that
the mayor has atllxed his signature to the
Enid ordinance and that It Is now a law.
The passage of this ordinance removes
all occasion for delay and all obstruction
to the completion of the contract already
agreed upon nnd approved by the city
council.
You will therefore please take notice that
we are now willing and have nt all times
since the contract was awarded been willIng -
Ing to proceed under Its terms , and we
therefore request that the city attorney
be Instructed to draft the necessary formal
contract nnd that the city attorney be fur
ther requested to report a proper contract
at the next meclng of the council to the
end that we may as speedily ns possible be
enabled to enter upon the work of con
struction of our plant.
Immediately after the mayor and council
shall have executed the necessary contract
between ourselves and the city we shall
file the bond required by the general fran
chise ordinance and take advantage of the
facilities afforded by the said franchise
ordinance to us for entering upon the busi
ness of furnishing commercial lights und
electric stiect lighting.pAiinicn
pAiinicn & co. ,
By K. T. Paidee.
Hascall was on his feet before the clerk
had finished reading to declare that It was
ridiculous to assert that the company had
ever given a bond. It had never filed articles
of incorporation or let the council know
who It was. It had no business status and
the council had no right to consider any
thing It might say. Hascall suggested that
the matter be referred to the joint commit
tee , but Edwards wanted It disposed of In
committee of the whole. Burkley offered an
amendment referring It to the committee
on gas and electric lights , with the remark
that everything that had come before the
council for the past three months had been
turned over to the joint committee , and ho
was "getting tired of such proc edlngS.
Wheeler rose In Indignation to refute .tho
assertion that Pardee & Co. had ever given
a bond that was a bond , and joined with
Hascall In demanding a reference to the
Joint commlttce\ After some further debate
the communication was so referred.
STREET AND SIDEWALK REPAIRS.
The mayor communicated his approval of
the plans for repairing the Sixteenth street
viaduct , the contract and bond of M. J.
Huso for the construction of watering
troughs , and the ordinance providing for the
opening and extending of Fourth street ad
jacent to the right of way of the Omaha &
Bouthweitcrn Railroad company.
The resolution directing the repair of Six
teenth street from Howard street to the
viaduct was vetoed on the ground that It
was not advisable to expend money from the
general fund for this purpose , and the ex
pense ought to be assessed against the abut
ting property. The mayor also objected to
the fact that the resolution specified the me-
torlal to bo used as wooden block , which
would have to be purchased at a considerable
txpensc. The veto was sustained.
A resolution ordering the Board of Public
Works to repair the wooden sidewalk on
Dodge street , between .Twenty-sixth and
Twenty-seventh streets , was vetoed on the
wound that the council should not violate
Its own ordinances. Not sustained.
The appointment of F. M. Richardson , E.
Stringer and C. E. Williamson as appraisers
on the grading of Thirty-fifth street from
Farnam to Dodge street was approved. Sim
ilar action was taken , on the appointment of
John F. Flack , H. W. Yates and 'George F.
I'rltchctt as appraisers on the opening of
Fourth street.
On the recommendation of the city attor
ney , George Simpson was allowed $125 for
injuries while holding a nozzle under the
directiontof the chief of tno flro department
at the Boston store fire.
The resolution of the Board of Public
Works ordering the cancellation of the sideWalk -
Walk contract of M. J. Huso was referred ,
together wjth a communication from Mr.
Huso , stating that ho had been unable to
procure lumbar of the thickness demanded
by the sidewalk Inspector.
The contract and bond of Hugh Murphy
for paving the Intersection of Twelfth and
Izard streets was approved.
Elsasser presented a resolution Instructing
the comptroller to advertise for bids for
public lighting on a threeyears' contract
at a price not to exceed $112 per light. Has
call wanted this referred to the joint com
mittee , but an amendment to refer to the
committee of the whole was carried. El-
casser moved that the council go Into com
mittee of the whole to consider the resolu
tion , but this motion was tabled by the
Wiley councllmcn without ceremony , carry
ing the resolution with It.
A resolution directing the Board of Public
Works to repair Sixteenth street from How
ard street to the viaduct \\lth such material
, as It thought advisable was carried.
. .HEDISTRICTINCI COMPLETED.
The favorable report of the Judiciary com
mute on the ordinance providing for
rcdUtrictliiK the voting precincts of the
city called up Thomas , who wanted the
ordinance modified In so far as It related.to
the Seventh ward , claiming that the ward
was entitled to more precincts. In this ho
was opposed by his colleague , Mr. Haweil ,
who claimed that the report was perfectly
satisfactory to his constituents. After a
tedious discussion the amendment of Thomaq
was rejected and the original report was
adopted.
On recommendation of the committee on
Judiciary the ordinance opening a boule
7- vard on Ninth street to lUvervlew park
7i was rejected on the ground that It would
i Involve a heavy expense and that the south
east boulevard , t\s now contemplated , fully
answered the purpose.
The favorable report of the committee
on on ordinance amending the garbage
ordinance was adopted. The amendments
make the regulations more stringent , and
provide that the fact that a man Is found
hauling a load of garbage shall bo pre
sumptive evidence that he Is regularly en
gaged In that business.
The following ordinances were passed :
Levying special tax fur widening Seven
teenth street south of Castellan
amending ordinance governing force
In comptroller's olllce ; ordering American
"Water Works company not to place certain
hydrants heretofore ordered ; providing for
JlcenMnft hack drivers anil providing regula-

BOTH LEGS CRUSHED.
Missouri 1'aclflc Flyer Kims Over n Hey nt
Oak Chatham.
A distressing accident which resulted In
the mortal Injury of a little 6-year-old son
of Mr. George McCoy occurred about 300
yards , west of Oak Chatham at 9 o'clock yes
terday morning.
The local train on the Belt Line had Just
passed Oak Chatham , and the llttlo fellow
evidently thinking that "all danger had passed
started to lead a cow across the track. At
that insfant the Missouri Pacific flyer dashed
down upon him , striking him with full force
before he realized his danger. Ho was
struck In the head and thrown under the
wheels , which passed over both legs , crushIng -
Ing them to a pulp. Dr. McGraw of Auburn
was on the train'and ho attended the in
jured lad , doing everything possible to
alleviate his sufferings. He- gave It as his
opinion , however , that tlio boy's injuries
were of so serious a nature that his death
was but the question of a few hours.
George McCoy , father of the Injured boy ,
resides at the corner of Twenty-fifth nmt
Ames avenue , and l.s a conductor on the
street railway.
Shortly after midnight death cndeil the

There Is little or no excitement over the.
boycott ordered by the American Hallway
union against Sir Qeorso Pullman and "his
palace cars In local labor circles. In point
of fact It Is conceded by members of the
American Hallway union that the light , to bo
successful , must be fought at largo terminal
points like- Chicago , St. Louis and on the
Great Northern system.
Uoorgo Miller , president of the local union
No. 12 , which has a membership ! of about
375 men , largely made up of clerks from the
Union 1'aclflc headquarters , said yesterday
that In the passenger yards only one
Pullman was handled dally by the American
Hallway union , that of the Rock Island.
The Union Pacific sleeper Is attached to the
Northwestern train nt Council Bluffs and
goes through with two Wagner sleepers to
Ogdcn.
"Tho Burlington , while It runs Pullmans ,
Is hardly to be considered as a factor In
the fight In view of Its last strike , which
resulted In a serious blow to unions. The
Milwaukee owns Its sleepers and the North
western and lOlkhorn run Wagners. It
therefore leaves practically only ono railroad ,
the Rock Island , In this territory to seriously
consider In relation to the boycott. IJut
there Is little fear that anything will be
done In connection with that road , the de
termination of the men , leaders of the Amer
ican Hallway union , being to crlpplo the
business of the roads In the big centers of
population. I have received no ofllclal In
formation that the boycott has been declared
In force and It would be useless to speculate
until the American Hallway union shows Its
hand. "
S. 13. Hebberllng , grand chief of the Ameri
can Hallway union on the Union Pacific sys
tem , was In Omaha yesterday en route to his
homo In Cheyenne. Speaking of the boycott
ho stated emphatically that It had been or
dered five days ago and that It would be
war to the knife. "We have no desire , "
said he , "to subject roads to damage suits
on the part of Pullman for their Inability
to handle Pullman cars. So far as a pro
prietary Interest Is concerned which the
railroads may have In Pullman contracts , It
Is largely In your eye. although some of the
earlier contracts made with Pullman were
upon a division of net profits. Roads that
do not own their sleeping cars outright
charge Pullman a wheclago rental , Sir
George pocketing the proceeds. It Is these
cars that the American Hallway union ex
pects to tlo up , but only In the big cities
which supply thp railroads of the west with
sleeping car accommodations. "
General Manager Holdrcge qf the Burling
ton , speaking of the matter , said that while
the Burlington operated Pullmans he felt
very safe In the good tense of their employes
In resisting specious arguments that might
bo advanced by delegates of the American
Hallway union. "Our employes , I believe ,
are perfectly content to handle all the Pull
mans wo give them and the rumor of a boy
cott disturbs me very little , I assure you. "

IVoRtcrn Trunk T.lno .Association . Adopts n
Uniform Unto.
CHICAGO , June 26. The executive com
mittee meeting of'flhe Western Trunk Line
association was held hero , today , there being
a full attendance of the .presidents and vice
presidents of the different roads. The main
question under consideration was a proposed
chauge In the mileage charges of special
cars. It was then agreed that , beginning
August 1 , the mileage on classes of freight
cars Interchanged between railroad com
panies , including private cars , but excepting
refrigerator cars , should be % cent per mile.
This Is a reduction of about > ,4 cent per
mile. Rates , vary at present , but It was de
cided to make the rate uniform and fix It
at Vi cent per mile.
One-way passenger rates westbound from
Chicago were In Imminent peril. The ex
tension of tlmo to September 1 of the return
tickets for the national educational meeting
at Asbury Park threatens to cut them right
In two for the next two monhs. Several
roads have adopted the policy of preventing
demoralization In general business through
the manipulation by the brokers of the re
turn portion of excursion tickets by making
similar reduction in one-way rates in all
cases where the 'restrictions thrown about
the return portion Is not such as to
prevent scalpers handling them. It was sup
posed that such restrictions had been adopted
in this case , but the See and the Wisconsin
Central on the north and the Missouri , Kan
sas & Texas and the Santa Fo In the south
west , disregarding these restrictions and
making the tickets good for return up till
September 1 , have spoiled the plans of the
associated roads. It now appears as If a re
duction of the one-way rate would be the
only way to keep the market hero from
being stocked with the return portions of
these tickets. This is very much regretted
by everybody , because the financial condition
of all the roads Is such as to make the con
servation of revenues exceedingly desirable.
All hope of saving one-way rates has not yet
been abandoned and strenuous efforts nro
being made to induce the roads to withdraw
their announcements as to the extension of
return limitations , but the prospects of SHOT
cess are by no means ( latetring. Tomorrow's
meeting may find some other way out of the
dlfllculty , but tho. only ono talked of today
among railroad officials Is a reduction of
one-way rates Westbound tor the- entire
period the return portions of the excursion
tickets are effective.

There has been more dlfllculty over
securing eastbound teachers by the various
transmlssourl lines this year than ever be
fore. In the history of western railroading.
It would bo hard to ascertain Just which ono
of the lines first cut the rates for school
teachers enrouto east , but It Is a fact that
quite a number of lines have been detected
In demoralizing rates and they 'havo been
compelled to walk right up to the captain's
olllco and settle. The Burlington has had
Its llttlo trouble- Denver.
The Milwaukee carried away , llko the
prlnco In the fairy story , several blushing
maidens from the ogre that Inhabited the
region In and about Lincoln , and while no
direct charge was made against the Mil
waukee and Its ally , the Union Pacific , they
were told to go and live In peace , < ? lso some
thing would "drop. " And that something
'dropped" yesterday , when the North
western filed a formal complaint with the
local passenger association , of which C. R ,
Davidson of the Burlington , Is secretary ,
agalnqt the Milwaukee for cutting ono way
on round trip rates to Chicago , a lady being
the Informant against the Milwaukee and not
a school teacher.
The tlcekt which she purchased for $8
to Chicago , the regular rate being (12.75 , fell
Into the hands of the Northwestern people ,
who Immediate ! ] * filed a complaint with the
secretary , what later on offered the tlcke
for redemption i to the Milwaukee , the latter
road paying $13.73 for n ticket which In al
IcRod to havt" been sold for | 8. Secretary
Davidson at once sent out notlrcs for a hear
Ing at 2 o'clock , at which tlmo the Mil
watikec show * ! Its hand.
The Milwaukee was found guilty of cutting
the rate and wns1 fined ? 25.

PINKERTON PLANS A PINCH
Parties Who Engineered the Pollock Robbery
Soon to Bo Arrested.
KID BURKE BACKED BY OMAHA MEN
Dctrctltcft After Two Ycitr * Work Clulin to
llit\o roiinil tho'Men Who I'hinncil nntl
Directed the llobbcry Arrests
1'romlscd ( Shortly.
From n letter received by Sergeant Ormsby
Monday from William A , Plrikcrton , chief
of the famous detective agency bearing his
name , it seems quite likely that within a few
days all the parties Implicated In the well
remembered 1'ollock diamond robbery will
bo behind the bars and Omaha Is promised
a sensation of no email magnltiulr.
Ever since the arrest of "Kid" Uurke , his
trial and sentence to Imprisonment to seven
teen years at Fort Madison , la , , detectives
have been working upon a clew which was
discovered In Colorado without success , but
a few days ago one of the members of the
Plnkerton agency received a partial confes
sion from one of the gang which gave the
olllcers something tangible to work upon
and they have about run their game to the
end of one of the longest chases ever made
after a gang of thieves.
The suspected parties ore alleged to bo In
Omaha and they are under continual sur
veillance , so that If they attempt to escape
arrests will follow Immediately , and every
move they have maile since the robbery has
become known to the police. When Pinkerton -
ton took up this case lie was ably assisted
by Sergeant Ormsby , to whom he has written
a warm letter of thanks for past services
Plnkerton Is backed by the National Jewelers
Protective association to run down this gang
and he has $100,000 at his disposal If neccs
sary to expend In capturing the thieves. Tin
official organ of the Jewelers association pub
llslies the following in this week's Issue :
"The Plnkerton detective agency expects
to shortly give a complete expose of the
facts surrounding the Pollock robbery. It
will bo remembered that Mr. Pollock of the
firm of W. L. Pollock & Co. , New York , was
assaulted and robbed of a wallet containing
$15,000 worth of diamonds on a train In the
fall of 1S92. The Jewelers' Protective
association through the Plnkerton agency
worked hard to secure the capture of the
thief , but was baflled for many wccksl The
detectives eventually struck a clew and by
judicious strategy secured the arrest of
Shcrcllffe , alias McCoy , alias Kid Burke.
No trace of the diamonds could then be
found , nor would Shercllffc peach on his
pals. It has recently been unearthed that a
party In Omaha was Interested In the rob
bery , actually planned the theft and even
tually purchased the diamonds for $6,000.
The detectives have this man under sur
veillance nnd a web Is slowly but surely
being woven about him which will ultimately
place him behind the prison bars. The case
against him , the detectives allege , is ripe
airi his arrest Is but a question of a few
days or weeks. Shercllffc Is known as a
dangerous crook , but the man who gave him
points how to work the Pollock robbery has
been considered above reproach. Ills ar
rest will create a sensation In tha Irade. "
A Uco reporter had a conversation with a
'prominent detective who was In the city a
few days ago working on the case and the
olllcer asserted that It was his positive be
lief that the robbery of Pollock occurred on
the spur of the moment and that Shcrcllffe
was not brought here and harbored from
the police for that purpose , but for the pur
pose of attempting one of the most daring
bank ruLiberles that ever took place la the
western country. Plnlterton men who are
ndw in the city say that the whole mystery
and all the facts concerning the robbery will
soon be made public and that the details will
make very sensational reading.
