The long deferred report of the Judiciary
committee on the mayor's appointment of
Edward S. Schurlg as city electrician wns
presented at the regular meeting of the
city council last evening. The committee
recommended that the appointment be con
firmed and the report was adopted , Wheeler
nnd Kdwards voting no with the explanation
that they did not know the candidate.
The action taken at the previous meeting
In giving property owners additional time In
which to select material for the Corby street
paving was reconsidered on motion of ttou-
cll , who stated that he was convinced that
ho had erred In his understanding of the
committee report prcstcd at the previous
*
meeting. Wheeler and Saundert submitted
Iho records of the council and read the nec-
tl6n of the charter to show the committee
hud erred In reporting that the property
owners had not had the time prescribed by
law. Saunders represented that while there
wad not a majority of feet frontage on the
petition In favor of any material the plurality
was over three to one In favor of asphalt ,
and that under the charter It was thu duty
( ft the council to order the street paved
. with that material.
The question was recommitted to the
committee , which then presented a second
report recommending that the contiact be
awarded for the material that should be
designated by the mst petition submitted
.which represented a majority of the property
owners. This was also objected to on the
ground that It was practically repeating the
previous action under a different form. The
result was the bame as before , and the re
port of the committee was adopted.
The mayor's appointment of the following
appraisers was continued : On giadlng
Twenty-sixth street from Hickory street to
couth line of Scullcy's addition , F. M. Rich
ardson , W. R. Homan and R. W. Gibson ;
grading Seventeenth street from VInton to
Castellar , W. O. Shrlver , II. W. Gibson and
I ? . M. Ulchardson.
The bill of Charles Spocrl for killing un-
taggcd dogs during the month of July
amounted to $158. The amount being so
large It was referred for Investigation.
STREET SWEEPING FUND LOW.
The claim of James Stcphenhon fnr street
sweeping during July , amounting to $2,747.16 ,
. was allowed. In this connection a commun
ication from the Board of Public Works
called attention to the condition of the
curb , gutter and cleaning fund , from which
these bills were paid. The statement of the
comptroller showed that $3,619.83 remained
in the fund July 21. Deducting the July
bill a balance of only $772.67 remained In
the fund. Under the provisions of the
Btrcet sweeping contract the contractor was
entitled to not less than 1,000 miles of
sweeping per jear at $17.97 per mile , or
$17,990 per year. Including the July estimate
the contractor had been paid $3,375.85 this
year , leaving a balance to which he would
bo entitled for the remainder of the 1,000
miles to be swept of $8,674.15. In view of
these facts the board asked for instructions
from the council. The communication was
referred to the finance committee and the
July bill was ordered to be taken out ot the
road fund.
, A communication from the Board of Edu
cation offering to pay end-half the expense of
three electric llghta on the High school
grounds was tabled. This action was taken
on the ground that it was the business of
the board to pay for the lights If It wanted
"them and also that It had already violated
ft similar agreement with the city.
' A request from the Barber Asphalt com
pany asking that the Item of $2,250.08 In Its
favor be withdrawn from the pending ap
propriation ordinance was promptly granted.
> . The bid of Thomas Casey for feeding city
prisoners for the next twelve months at 9
cents per meal was accepted. Bids for fur
nishing coal for the ensuing year were re
ferred for tabulation.
Councilman Edwards was granted a
jnonth's leave of absence on account of slck-
pess In his family.
The question ot granting licenses as hack
Drivers to C. P. Keys and Charles Hag-
Kerty , which has hung fire In the council
for some weeks , was decided In the afllrma-
llvo. The two men were originally refused
licenses by Inspector Hurst on the strength
of a report from a sergeant of police stating
that Haggerty was a disreputable character
3vho had associated for years with the lowest
grade of thieves and prostitutes and that
Keys had been repeatedly fined for violations
of the hack ordinance. A minority of the
council made a stubborn fight against In
structing the Inspector to Issue the license ! !
on account of the bad character of the ap
plicants , but were overruled.
The Board of Health was granted an ad
ditional appropriation of $ .5,500 , with which
to carry oa the department for the balance
Of the year.
The bond of Edward Schurlg , with P. J.
Karbach , E. P. Davis and George N. lllcks
as sureties , was approved , J
The following ordinances were passed :
'Amending section 90 of the building ordi
nance ; ordering grading of Thirty-third
Street from Farnam to Dodge streets ; July
appropriation ordinance ; grading portions of
Lake and Thirtieth streets ; changing curb
lines of Seventeenth street from Ohio to Lo
cust street ; establishing grades on Hickory
nnd Thirty-second streets ; levying sptclal
tax for grading alley In Courtland Place and
numerous additional levy ordlnan-es.

other olllclals of the New Thornton-Houston

The residence of B. H , Yoemans at
Twenty-Ninth and Blonde streets was burg
larized of about $100 worth ot jewelry last
Sunday. Early Monday morning Officer Kel
ly arrested two men named Hammond and
Lomlell , who were acting In a suspicious
manner and had been trying to dispose of
n. valuable bracelet at a cheap price In the
afternoon , The next day the men were given
a short sentence by the police judge , and
yesterday they were put to work on the
chain gang. Doth of them tried to Cbcapo
and Hammond succeeded In getting away
from Special Olllcer Moore , who has charge
of the city prisoners.
While the men wcro out at work Mr.
Yeomans reported the robbery and left a do-
ecrlptlon of the stolen property at the police
station. He was shown the bracelet and
readily Identified It as part of the jewelry
stolen from hlti residence on Sunday. The
officers waited for the chain gang to bo
brought In from work and were then going
to servo warrants on Hammond and Lomlell
charging them v.lth burglary. They wcro
much disappointed when/told that Hammond
had escaped , as It is believed that he Is
the trader of a gang of thleVcs who have
been working the residence portion of the
city. The warrant wag served on Londell
and detectives are now looking for Hammond
mend nnd a pal who has not jet been ar
rested. Part of the Jewelry haa been re

During all the spring and the early sum
mer Iver Johnson worked for a farmer re
siding near Sloan , la. , saving up his money
for the coming 6f a rainy day. Ho decided
to come to Omaha to look for a Job and upon
arriving In the city about the first tiling
tli.it ho did was to run up against a brace
game , by which he lost all of his money.
Yesterday afternoon Johnson was walking
along lower Douglas when he was approached
by a Swede , one of his o\.n countrjmcn ,
who Invited him Into a neighboring suloon
to enjoy a social glass of beer. The In
vitation was accepted and as the glasses weie
drained another Swede appearcdNupon the
scene and another round of beer was or
dered. As tills disappeared tlio party who
llrst mot Johnson bet the newcomer that he
could take dice and tluow sixes every time.
The bet -was accepted , with $100 for the
stakes. The throw was made and Johnson's
friend lost. Hunting through Ills pockets
he discovered that he had but $ S5 and at
once Importuned the young man from Iowa
for a loan until he could go around to a
bank and draw some cash. Johnson turned
over the money and was told to icmaln In
the baleen until the return trip from the
bank was made. Ho walte.l for seveial
hours and then went to the police station ,
wl.cre he reported the matter. He gave the
police a good description of the confidence
men.
Detectives Dunn and Donahue were , put
at work on the case. They went down In
the bottoms and soon found two men an-
bwcrlng the description ghon them. They
were placed under arrest and gave the
names of Charles AVilson and William Carl
son. On the way to the station they agreeJ
to give the detectives the money which had
been taken from JohnsonIf they would re
lease them. The men confessed that the }

had not robbed Johnson somebody else would
They claimed to be from Minneapolis and
said that they had worked their "graft" in
that place good and strong , and when the }
were caught they squared matters with the
police by dividing their spoils. At the
station they acknowledged their guilt by of
fering to refund the money If Johnson would
not appear against them. Judge Berka hap
pened to hear the conversation and the men
\vlll take their dose of justice from him this
morning. The "con" men are unknown to
the police , but It Is believed that they are
good men to have In jail.

bhoVu I oslng .Sent to
tlio Hospital.
Fannie Campbell , who has been rooming
at 302 North Thirteenth street for the past
three weeks , was taken to the police station
last night , after attempting suicide , ag was
reported , by taking nbout two ounces ot
chloroform. Dr. Townc was summoned and
administered restoratives , after which thu
woman was taken to the Methodist hos
pital. It was found that she did not taks the
poison with suicidal Intent , but to ease the
pain , from which she was suffering In
tensely.
This joung woman has a sad history. Dr.
Townc said that she was sick from a lack
of food and proper nourishment , and If she
hid continued In her present condition for a
short time she would have actually starved
to death. He ordered that she be given small
quantities of liquid nourishment until she
got strong enough to partake of solids.
The woman Is the divorced wife of an ex-
Omaha newspaper man named Fields , and
she has been trying to earn her living as a
cjerk In one of the large dry goods establish
ments In thlh city since ehc and her hus
band separated. Her parents rcsce [ near At
kinson , Neb , rtml she has n brother who Is
employed on the staff of the Sioux City
Journal. Her parents are Just about able to
support themselves , and , as they are getting
old , she did not feel like Imposing the addi
tional burden of h ° r support upon them.
About six weeks ago her health became so
poor that she was compelled to give up her
position and go home for a short time. She
soon recovered and came back to Omaha.
She again tried to secure employment , but
was taken sick In her room at Mrs. McGrew's
house on Thirteenth and Davenport streets.
II.r funds were soon exhausted , and she haa
been dependent on the care of her landlady
for several days. Mrs. McGrcw had made ar-
langcmcnts foi moving to Iowa and had post
poned her removal as long as posslbh In
hopes that Tamile would recover sufficiently
to be able to go to work again. But the
joung woman continued to get worse and
yesterday Mrs. McGrew applied at the police
station for Information. The county and city
physicians were summoned to attend the suf
ferer and ih ° y decided to attempt to secura a
place for her in one of the hospitals. Mrs.
McGrew was referred to the county commis
sioners for assistance , but last evening she
has been unable to secure their attention.
The young woman suffered so Intensely
with pains In the stomach that she begged
for chloroform to ease the pain during the
night. Some one secured a small bottle of
the drug for her , and. In her haste , she took
too much of It and word was sent to the sta
tion that she had attempted to commit sul-
elds. After making a thorough examination
of the case Dr. Tonne announced that she
had starved herself almost to death , and
that the best medicine she could have wouU
b2 rest and proper nourishment. The woman
was icmoved to the hospital In the police
ambulance and was so weak that the motion
of the wagon caused her to swoon , and she
was In a semi-conscious condition when car
ried Into the hospital , but she will now ro-
celve the best of treatment. She requested
that her brother be notified and said that hs
would come to her assistance at once. She
seems to be too proud to let any 0112 know
her trus condition , and It Is thought that be
cause she had no money she had secretly de
nied herself teed enough to properly sustain
life. Her parents will also be notified of
thcT condition of their daughter , but she saS
that they only have enough to live on and
she does not wont to trouble them.

Hasty In ( oniluiiinliighcavr.v. .
The committee on men and discipline of
the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
held a meeting yesterday afternoon to In
quire into the charges made against Chief
of Police Scavey by committees from the
Central Labor union and the Knights of
Labor. Thcso organizations filed charges
and resolutions adopted by them with the
board some time ago and demanded that the
action of the chief in sending officers to the
Eist Omaha bridge to meet Hogan's Montana
division of the Commonweal army which was
on Us way down the river bo Investigated.
The representatives of the Central Labor
union claimed that the chief gave this order
with malicious Intent and without Icgil au
thority In hopes of making the army land
on the Iowa side. Several mcmbeis of the
labor union vvero present at the meeting of
the committee , as were the officers sent to
carry out the order , and the chief. Tlio
police officers testified that they were sent to
the East Omaha bridge to assist the army In
locating a camping place , as they expected
to remain In this city for a few days and did
not want to trespass on public or private
grounds , whcro they were not welcome ,
The chief Issued this order at the request
of a man named Davis , who was the advance
agent and solicitor for Hogan's men.
The members of the Central Labor union
then admitted that they hud been misin
formed In the matter and that these reso
lutions did an Injustice to the chief. They
said they would call the mutter up at their
next meeting and recommend that resolu
tions exonerating the chief bo passed. ' The
committee will submit Itu report In the mat
ter at the regular meeting next Monday
night.

HYMN BOOKJrOR A WEAPON.
Louder of Ht , Io tatlt'R | I'liolr Strike * One of
the IVipiilur Mriuhnrfi.
For many yenrs.the harmony that has pre
vailed among the members of St. Joseph's
Catholic church , situated at Seventeenth and
Center streets , has been the talk of the
town. That harmony , however , no long r
prevails to any alarming extent , as the con
gregation has bcsn divided Into factions ,
one arrajed against the other In a fight that
has brought on blow * , with the final round
In the pollcj court of the city.
Long years ago Peter Bugger united his
fortunes with St. Joseph's church nnd since
that tlmo he has been regarded as one of
the pillars of the Institution , both from a
spiritual and a financial standpoint. All of
the members of the family have been com
municants , attending with regularity , while
hl3 daughter , Victoria , has been one of the
singers In the choir. She has a wonderfully
sweet voice and u pleasant face , which two
facts , coupled together , have made her a gen
eral favorite with pastor and pcopl * , and
every Sunday for a lang period of time she
has occupied her place In the vicinity of the
grand old pipe organ , thrilling the listeners
with her blrd-llko melodies.
Some months ago Mrs. Maggie Eberz was
promoted to the position or organist and
leader of the choir and since that date
things have not been running so smoothly
as they did before , though there never was
nn open rebellion until last Wednesday
night , when blows were struck and a small
sized revolt was dcc'arcd ' , all on account ot
n little singing that was being done at n
choir practice. On that particular night
the weather was sweltering hot and several
of the members of the choir were not in the
best of humor. The anthems for the fol
lowing Sabbath had been practiced when
the organist accused Miss Victoria of not
doing her best. She wen' so far as to tell
the young lady that her voice was a horrible
dUccrd , lacking the softness of a good
singer and that If she did not do better
she would be expelled from the choir.
BATTERED WITH HYMNS.
If there Is anything of which Miss Vic
toria Bugger Is sensitive. It is her singIng -
Ing , and being thus addressed , she resented
the Imputation , declaring that she had been
singing In the choir for years , and that be
fore no person had ever questioned her
ability. The organist declared that she
knew w hereof she spake , nnd that her word
nas law , and If It was not , she would lay the
whole matter before the priest. It was ap
parent that there was trouble In sight , but
quiet was restored and the practice con
tinued , both of the ladles nursing their
wrath. Finally the exercises werp con
cluded , alter which there were some more
hot words , and all of the parties started to
leave the church. As they were going down
the steps , Mrs. Eberz took occasion to re
mark about the choir practice , when Miss
Victoria up and told her that she did not
propose to practice three nights each week.
This angered Mrs. Eberz and drawing back ,
she struck Miss Bugger a couple of times
with a hymn book which she was carrjlng in
her hand. The young lady let out a cry
of pain and started down the steps
at a rate of speed seldom equaled
and never excelled. Rushing to
the home of her parents she found her father
Industriously trying to find n place where ho
could get away from the Kansas simoon ,
which was blowing that night. She told
him the tale ol the Insult and hastily drawIng -
Ing on a dressing gown and a pair of slip
pers , he started out to find Mrs. Eberz ,
meeting her at Sixtcpnth and Center streets ,
nhero he remarked : "So you are going to
drive my daughter out of the choir. "
Mrs. Ubtrz shot out a glancei that was
hotlbr than the south wind which was blowIng -
Ing from the burning sands of Kansas and
straightening herself up her full hclghth ,
ar.sweied : "You dirty old farmer. "
This was too much for the head of the
house of Bugger to stand without resenting
and in no gentle tone of voice he responded :
"We'll settle this mattter right now nnd
here , provided you have no objections. "
Mrs. Eberz was anxious for the fiay and
so Informed Mr. Bugger.
People who were returning from the
church bued for peace , but both parties de
clared that there could bo no peace until
some pet son had apologized for the Insults
and the wrongs.
THIS WAS DISCORD.
For a moment both man nidvoman glared
at one another like a couple of Infuriated
beasts , while those who were standing
around trembled as they pictured the rutulta
of a man and a woman engaged In a fist
fight when nothing worse than a discord in
singing a church hymn was the issue. The
glailng continued for a moment , and then
Mr. Bugger closed In upon his prey. There
was a short struggle , while the crowd
watched and prayed for the coming of a
policeman. No officer came , however , and
Mrs. Eberz broke away. In doing so Mr.
Bugger seized her hymn book and threw It
to the ground. This added fuel to the
flamts , and reaching out her right , Mrs.
Eberz landed one beneath the eye of the
head of the Bugger family. Instead of
striking back , Mr. Bugger pushed the woman
oft the sidewalk , landing her In the gutter

Ono of the most Important things for
Omaha done at this session was the action
of the board In making this city nn "or
ganizing station" In the future. This
makes Omaha one of the foremost labor
organization centers In the country and will
give this city considerable free luhertlsing
In organized Hbor circles. In consequence of
this action the general executive board will
employ one of the members of District as
sembly 12C by the jear to put In his
whole time organizing In Omaha and In ad
joining states. The local members are well
pleased with this action and several of the
members are now In line to get the plum.
The board has not yet decided who will be
emplojed for this position , and may ask
the district assembly to make a recommen
dation for the place.

OMAHA , July 31. To the Editor o'
The Dee : Referring to Mr. Sebrlng's
communication In yesterday's edition
If Mr. Sebrtng Is not tco Impatient
ho will have no reason to fie'
slighted. There has been more talk
about this boycott than can easily b ° put
In a single article. There was no Intention
of giving Julius Meyer credit for being the
sole Inventor of this great boycott enterprise.
What was sild was merely quoted from Mr.
Mejer's confidential talks. Now do not un
derstand that Julius talked for publica
tion , nor have we any Intention of repeat
ing all ho said. It would not seem like one
of those little acts of kindness so frequently
mentioned by Juvenile teachers. When Mr.
Meyer talked most ho seemed as brim full
of this gieat undei taking as n boy of bev-
enteen Is of quixotic notions. In fact , Mr.
Meier said the newspapers were the great
est enemies of the boycott , and he Intended
to prosecute this bojcott on the dead quiet
and would ne\er let up until Ilayden Bros ,
did a legitimate business. It Is no more
than fair to say that Mr. Meyer disclaimed
any personal Interest , as lite house Is doing
a strictly wholesale business.
It Is possible that some people may not
know the trade meaning of a "legitimate
business , " and a single example will make
It quite clear. A lady said In our music
room the other day that she paid SO cents
for the same sheet music that our music de
partment Is belling for G cents , and that Is
what Is known as a "legitimate" price ,
which is quite a genteel way ot merchan
dising , and will encouage the working man's
little girl to becry careful of her sheet
music ( If she has any ) .
Mr. Sebrlnc knows how Innocent he was
when Hayden asked him the cause of the
bojcott. He did not know that Hayden
Bros , sold penitentiary goods , and signed
the boycott on general principles , or In
other words , just for a feeler to see what
effect It might have.
