The Judges Informed the mayor that that wan a bridge that would be crosbed when It wa readied , and then Councilman Charloi n. Drimcr WDS called as a witness. Con trary to his usual custom Ilruner was as meek as Moses IB alleged to have been , und nx Innocent as a lumb , although he had a memory that was not two Inches In length , lie could not remember whether or not he had bten approached with n proposition to sign the impeachment articles , though he thought that It was possible. lie could re member nothing about electric lights , und , In fact , he was without any memory. The mayor was again recalled , and testi fied that he. acted In good fulth when he took steps to keep the members of the Army ot the Commonweal from starving , feeling that an eineigency existed anil that Immediate action was ntcc.sary. AN HLECTUICIAN'S EVIDENCE. Edward IA Shurlg , city electrician , was called as a witness by the managerB. Ho had held the position for two months. Wit ness had liad some experience with the pho tometer In measuring the canilla power of aic lights , but not a great deal , as that was not In his line , It belonging to another branch of the profession which ho had not stiulliO. Under the best of conditions , perfect accuracy In Eeuiring tests by the photometer were next to Impossible , though such Inac- cury v\cu1d not exceed 5 par C2iit. In the elcctilc profession the photometer was not regarded as an accurate test for measuring nrc lights. The Brush and the Thomson- Houston lamps , witness said , were tliu urc lamps In general use and a lamp of 4SO watts known as a 2,000-candlo power , nominal , nrc light.When When the electric Instruments of the city were turned over to the witness by Acting City Klectrlclan lUioern. they were found to bo In very bad condition. AVhcn cross-examined , Mr. Shurlg testified that the photometer was not an electrical In strument ; It was for measuring t'e ' Illumina tion of a lamp and not for measuring the patf-tr1 that was back of the lamp. Witness did not know who Injured the electric light testing Instruments , as they had been In the possts&'on of L. M. Hheem for two months nftcr M. O. Cowglll was deposed by the city council. Councilman Becliel testified In behalf nf HIP managers. AVItncss Investigated the elec- trlcpl department of the city during the time when M. O. Cowglll was the city electrician und from what he found he regarded him as Incompetent. Mr. Becliel knew of no conspiracy to op- POKO Cow-gill because he could not be manipu lated by Wiley and the electric light com pany. Witness voted for the Wiley bills for the reason that lie thought they ought to be pulil.When When croBs-cxamlncd witness testified that the light on Cowglll was led by Wheeler , one of the managers. L. M. Illieetn , who was appointed city elec trician by the faction In the council which was lead by Managers Hascall and Wheeler , went upon the witness stand. Witness found a photometer In the nfllco when he tooli charge , but as ho never hid occasion to use iuch an Instrument , he did not pay mucli attention to what It was. HASCALI/S EXPERT TESTIMONY. Manager Hnscall tcstlflol that he was s member of the city council and saw the bid ; - for electric lighting , he being a member ol the committee to which ( hey were referred In the opinion of the witness the P.inleo aiu thu Citizens' Electric Light companies wen without legal existence. In rejecting the low bids and then votliif to awnnl the lighting contract to 8 , L Wiley's company , witness swore that he liar acted In the best Interest of the city , notwlth ftumlltiK the fact that the Citizens' compati ) bid $87.50 and AVIley. $138 per lamp , pci minum. Ho voted to pay the Wiley bills be cause Wiley had the contract for strcei lighting and because the city was undei obligations to make the payments , IleliiK cross-examined , witness said tha Manager Wheeler was very active In elec trie light matters. Witness had acted It good faith In c\erythlng done with reference once to council matters. Ever since las January the witness had been In favor o filing the charges against Mayor lletnls , bu found some dllllculty In finding some OIK to join him. Witness had consulted will Hitchcock of the World-Herald with refer sue * to filing the charges and specifications HITCHCOCK'S PAUT IN THE PLAY. Mr. Clarlison , one of the attorneys , ob Jeutcil to Hascall being questioned upon till point , uiglng that the testimony was Ini mate ) int. " \\'ho were present ut that conference ? ' lafced Mr. Connell. Hght | here the attorneys for the mnna ; erc squirmed , urging that thu question un unfair Tinil a subject which was not materla to the issues before the court , and that I uas something not brought out In the dlrcc txamlnatlon. The objection was overruled and In answei Manager lluscall said that there was a type \\rltlng girl and some others In Hitchcock' otllce. Mu could not remember that an 'ounellmeii were In the room. Witness wen to tell Hitchcock why the charges had no been 11 ltd rooner. Hascall did not thin that there wa any talk about raising mono to make the fight against Mayor Bemis , ther inTght have been , but he could not remeni bcr. Tliero was talk about putting up mone to curry on the anti-vice crusade , but wll ness did not know as money had been o ft ere to rounrllmen to induce them to sign th liorRCs. Councilman Edwards had agree to elgn. but weakened , That was during la : January , the witness said , Hubcall did not think that money had bee mined to fight the mayor , but was m positive. Witness talked with Wheeler aboi BlKifhtK the articles , and at first he refuse to mix up In the matter , but when tl Cowglll controveny came up , he said tin things had gone far enough and that he we ready to sign. In voting for Wiley's bills Hascall test I lie that he was In duty bound to do so , as tl contract was In form. One reaton wli lUscall voted against the Icng-tlme contra to the other bidders for the street llghllr companies wan because he did not want i do anything that would bind future council "Did you not vote to grant the gas con pony n flfty-yinr contract , and did you m vote to give MacDonuld a long-tlmo girUxj contract ? " asked Mr. Connell , Mr Hawaii tried to dodge the Issue , bi ho was pinned down and had to admit th ; he rait his vote In that direction. Qcttli angry , Manager Haicall said that ho wnu have voted for the gat contract If It had hi 1,000 ytars to run. "Judge Haecall , " asked Mr , Connell , "d yqu not suto In your report that you r ICCttU the 1'ard.eo mid Citizens' Llghtli company bids because eomo papers were not ( lied In the county clerk's office ? " "Yes , " answered the manager. "Wan this not to bamboozle the other mi tubers tit your committee ? " Hiucall again dodged the l&sue and claimed that the bidders did not glvn a bond , but he was forced to admit thai n god and lufllclent bond was offered to be furnished , Manager Wheeler , the councilman , was the next witness and he remembered till about Covtglll having been named for city elec trician by Mayor limits. AVItnt s always voted against Cowglll's confli motion , believ ing ttmt ho was Incompetent. In voting for the Wiley bills witness did so for the reason that there was a contract to pay the bills , and for the further reason that the service wan as { rood as In other cltl s. lleltiK cross-examined Manager AVheeler could not remember that Just before the chaigcs nore fllcd against Mayor llemls he called at tlu < city comptroller's office to sec It Wiley's warrants , aggregating something like $1SOO $ , had been signed. He was In the coirptroller's office , but could not remember Just why ho called. ARGUMENTS BEGIN. The afternoon session of the court opened with Mr. Clarkson arguing for the man ager * , urging that It was not tor one man tu set lilinxelf up against the wishes of the people , as the mayor had done In defeating the efforts of the anti-vice crusaders. It ina-lo no dlffcience what the Intent of the mayor might have been ; he should have been act.ve and vigilant In the * enforcement ot the laws of the state and the ordinances ot the city. Not having done so , Mr. Clark- son contended that the mayor had failed to do his duty. "If ( hat Is true , " asked Judge Hopewell , "Is he not equally guilty when he falls to enforce other ttate laws with reference to the commission of crime ? " M. ' . ( "larkson said that IIP did not con tend that thcro were corrupt motives on the pait of the mayor , but lie did not pro- IIOMI to ttund by and have The Bee come out ut the end of the ( rial and say that the court chculd relmko the managers of the Impeachment. If Hascall and Wheeler were on trial , Mr , ClarKson did not think that there would bo liny cry that the court should rebuke the managers , Attorney Maconibcr , replying to Mr. Clark- yon , * poKe until the adjournment of the court for the day , handling the managers without gloves , urging that the prosecu tion was wholly without merits and should have been dismissed when the testimony of the managers was In. It was the most Oammiblu outrage e\er perpetrated upon any citizen. There had been nothing but In sinuations , without any attempt to show corrupt motives In any act which the mayor had performed. CONTEST WITH PLUNDEIIEUS. AVIien Mr. Hem Is became the executive of ficer nf the city he was at once confronted by the corporations , all seeking to plunder the trpjsmy. The struggle was a long one , because he was met with opposition by such men as Hascall and Wheeler , who voted to allow the electric light company $18.000. all In n lump , and that after the bills were four times vetoed by the mayor. Mayor lleml.i had given the city a business ad ministration , and from the evidence of the managers' witnesses It had been proved that tils acts had been free from corruption , though he had been maligned because he would not submit to the dictation of cor porate Influences. "Mayor Uemls , " said IIP , "has lived In Omaha for many , years. Of upright habits , a personal appearance distinguished for gentle and kindly bearing , a morality and charity always responsive to the right , a large experience In ( ravel and extensive prop erty Interests In Omaha , a sympathy for the poor and the struggling masses , the repub lican party turned to him as a worthy can didate. To that office he brought the varied experience of his active and successful bus iness life. He realized the practical condi tions ot this people organized as the city of Omaha , and entered his Important official station with a determination to give the city a careful and honorable , administration. Con- fionted by the great aggregations ot wealth organised Into corporations and plundering the city , he entered Into a long and , constant struggle to protect the rights of thp people. Nownot , for lis | jifglectq \ for his omis sions , but Because ! of his' upilgliltiess , he suffers Die malignity ot Haacall and Wheeler.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Union Depot Ordinance Passed by a Vote of 12 to G Lwt JHlght. UNION PACIFIC GETS ALL IT ASKED Member * Kxplnlu Why They Think the Urillimnco bliouhl or Should Nut Ho 1'Rnseil l'rc l < lrnt Itimcll In a 1'cculhir Position. At an adjourned meeting ot the city coun cil last evening the union depot ordinance which provides for the submission to the people of a proposition to allow the Union Pacific railroad to complete the construc tion of the depot at Tenth and Mason streets was passed by a two-thirds vote , which was as follows : Yeas Back , Dechel , Burklcy , Edwards , Hascnll , Holmes , Lemly , McAndrews , Parker , Specht , Wheeler , Howell 12. Nays Uruncr , Calm , Elsus- ser , Jacobsen , Saundcrs , Thomas C. Tlio conditions named In the proposition are , briefly , that the city shall give the rail road a Clear title to all the property now actually held by the company , while the Union Pacific shall release to the city all the property now claimed by the city , and also ItH claims tor the refunding of special taxes and the original (150,000 bonds. A somewhat unusual Incident , was the fact that two members voted for the passage ot the ordinance , but declared that If It was vetoed by the mayor they should vote to sustain the veto , When ( he council was called to order Holmes and Bruner were absent , and on motion ot Wheeler a call ol the house was ordered. Ernest Stuht happened In abcut that time and was entrusted with the tosk of hunting up Bruner , while the sergeant-al arms went after Holmes. Then the doors were locked und the members present took off their coats and nettled themselves com fortably for an uncertain period , The lecre- ant members were found In the coursu of a couple of hours , however , and shortly after 10 o'clock the council was ready for business. On motion ot Hascall the rules \verc s- pended and the ordinance was placed en Its lilrd reading. Wheeler took the floor to read a petition Igned by Herman KounUe , Thomas L. Kim- lall and other property owners asking that he depot proposition be submitted. This was ilaccd on file , and Saunders requested that ho final consideration of the ordinance be > ostponed until next Tuesday night. He tald that he hod heard that ( lie Union Pa- ; lflc people would not build the depot ai > y- viiy , and he wanted lime to Investigate these umors before he was ready to vote. Ho vas supporled by Elsasser and others , but he majority prevailed and overruled the notion for postponement. HASCALL TELLS WHY. Hascall modestly admitted that he had md something to do with the ordinance fem Its Inception. He made a long speech n favor ot the ordinance , In which he de- ilared that the only thing to do was to pass he ordinance now and get a depot , and If he railroad facilities oC the city expanded so is to render It necessary , the structure at Tend ) and Mason streets could be torn down ind a union depot erected which would let .n any other roads. He wanted to know n-hat rights the Rock Island railroad had In Omaha , anyway , as II h.id never boughl a right of way In Hie city or spent a cenl to advance Its Interests. Calm called attenllon to the last para- raph of section 3 of the ordinance , which provided thai the deeds and conveyances should not be delivered to the Union Pacific tt-allroad by the city until after the com pletion of the dcpol and the delivery of the deeds for the property ceded to the city. Thla was followed by a proviso , which al lowed the deeds to be delivered by the mayor and council at any time when the Union Pacific should put up a sufficient bond as surety. He wanted the proviso eliminated , and In support of his position read an opln- ! cn from Judge Woolworth , which held that when tne deeds were delivered to the rail road the courts might refuse to give the receivers authority to construct the depot , and In that case the city would haye no recourse except a lawsuit , the result of which would In any case be doubtful. Wheeler took occasion to remark that Mr. Woolworth's opinion was a piece of sophistry such as no common pettifogger would think of presenting to a court. Calm's amendment was defeated by ths slcrcotypcd vote , and Wheeler moved HIP previous question , on which the ordinance was read for the third time , and the roll was called. This was a season of speech making , and nearly every member occupied several minutes explaining his vote. HOWELL'S CHANGE OF HEART. President How ell said that two weeks ago he had opposed the ordinance , on the ground tint It did not provide for the entrance of other roads Into the city. Since then he had spent several days In Investigating the mat ter , and had held conferences with various Union Pacific and B. & II. officl Is. They hal uhsured him that If the ordinance was passed they would not object to entering Into an agreement covering the entrance of other roads. On this understanding ho would vote for the ordinance , bul If It was vetoed by the mayor , and If the promised agreement was not then In the hands of .the council , he should vote to sustain the mayor. Burkley held the some views , Saund rs opposed the ordinance on the ground Dial he did not sufficiently undernand ( the situation , and Jacobbcn , Calm and Elsasser voted no because it did not sufficiently protect the In terests of the city. The ordinance was de clared carried , and the council then ad journed , _ Suit Klipum Cured. About ten years ago I commenced taking Hood's SarFnparilla for tall rheum. At that t.me my hands were one complete sore , and I had to have them bandaged. After taking about six bottles of Hood's Sarsa- parllla the sores were all healed.

Hascall cmteiitled that this committee would be able o take care of any amendments that might je needed and thei'e the matter was dfopped. Olio of the most Important matters to which the attention of the committee will lie called will be that connected with the [ issessnipnt of propel ty. The committee will ie asked to devise an amendment by which ho assessments may be equalized and be mdcr one definite head Instead of being rnado bynumerous , different and often responsible 'ntllvlduals as at present.

JUDGE AMBROSE OVERRULED Eo Fictls Ono of His Judicial Acts Unsatis factory to a Col'oagno on the Bonoh , HIS ORDER SET ASIDE BY JUDGE SCOTT t'inr Miirtlii'i Itocclvor Cine Sntlloil tlul uf Court ut Which Action JiulRO Scott Took Decided Inception Hup- less Attorneys on tlio lt. ck , Judge Scott held his usual morning unit Inc I- nc < ! yesterday ntul Improved the ocasslon lo severely censure AttorneysThon.ns , 'lunnlc Iff and Ilurbank for attempting to settle the uua of Annette Carter against M. I < \ Martin , peti tion for a receiver , a case -which has required the ntlenlton ol the head of the criminal court more or less all summer. This case relates to the houses ot prosti tution controlled by Martin , and Annette Carter wanted to , receiver appointed so that blio could collect money due her. Judge Scott appointed the sheriff as receiver ol these houses early In the summer and they have been running under the protection of the court ever since. The rents have been collected and In other ways things moved along much the same as when Martin was landlord In the "burnt district. " One day this week Attorneys Burbank , Tliomtm and Turmlcllff came to an amicable agreement and agreed to settle the dispute. They went before Judge Ambrose and filed with him the stipulations for a settlement and he signed orders decreeing that the sheriff ho dismissed as receiver and that he stop Interfering or having charge of these houses any longer. The sheriff was nlso or dered to turn over all moneys co.lecteJ by him since ho had been running the places under Scott's Instructions , lo the defendant , after taking out reasonable fees for his trouble and other expenses Incurred. SCOTT SAYS HIS SAY. These orders came to Judge Scott's notice yesterday and before lulilnK up a crimi nal case , -rtlilch he was hearing , he ordered Ills bailiff to bring him the equity docket , lo said that he had something to say about .his case , and while neither the attorneys 'or ' the defense nor prosecution were prevent 10 was going to make some rulings nnywny. ! Io said that ho had stayed at home , nilss- ng his summer vacation , In order to give : lilH case and other cases his attention and 10 had hoped that the attorneys would bring t up when ho was on the bench In regular session of court. He then remarked that Tunnicllff et nl had now gone before an other judge , and by p'aylng ' a trick upon ilia induced another judge to make an order in the case , taking the matter out of hla hands , In fact , completely Ignoring him In the attempted settlement of the case. He didn't propose "to be Ignored. He had always favored young attorneys , he sjld , und these > oung men might have reason to regret their action in this Instance. He denounced their action In going before Judge Ambrose and securing the order for the dismissal of the receiver , and said It was a rank piece of icttlfogglng , to eay the least. He said that his receiver , the sheriff , had made no report , and as yet he had no means of knowing the exact condition of affairs. He placed all the blame on the attorneys , and exculpated Judge Ambrose , saying that heMIS satisfied thtit thn judge had been Imposed upon. Scott then ordered that all of Judge Am- hrosa's orders and rulings be vacated and rendered null and void , and he set them aside , lie said that he had appointed the sheriff as receiver of thcs-c houres , and he would protect the offlcer from any Inter ference In the discharge of Ms duties , or any attempts to make him turn over any of the rentals. He said that any one could pliy a trick of this kind , but it took a gqr.tleman to , bo p. Jav > ypr , and then re- ro ealcd his remarks about pettifogging He said that this case had been before him since Its Inception and now had been referred to him by Judge Ambrose , who was riot ap prised of the facts , and IIP would set the orders aside. He called In ( hp sheriff's under deputy and Instructed him to only fol low his ( Scott's ) Instructions , and pny no at tention to any ether orders. After thus relieving himself he told At torney Hrecn that he would give due con sideration to the motion to abate tlic.se houses as public nuisances In due sen on. ORDEltS STILL I'RHTTY GOOIX Judge Ambrose was seen shortly after ward ! , and when hewas told ( fiat Scott had set aside his orders anil nillngs he k Imply nu-lcil and said I hat no one could do that except tlio biipreme court , and all that the attorneys had to do nus to go to the tiiFrcme court and secure a man damus upan the sheriff compelling htm to tuin over the property to lit rightful cnstodlrns. He said lli.it the attorneys oanie Into his court and a ked leave lo Illo their stipulations for a settlement. As all ( he other equity judges were ° ngngcd In hearing the Impeachment case he a fined the stipulations and made the orders In purely a perfunctory manner , which wan perffctly legal and right , and that no power on earth except the supreme court could va cate these orders. When the attorneys wanted to settle the fees he referred them to Judge Scott , who Iiu1 appointed the re- cjlvcp. That was all there was to it , eo far as IIP was concerned. The attorney * concerned held a hsirrled meeting In Mr Durbank's ofllcc , hut did not make known their conclusions In the matter. Schlltz Hoof Garden opens Saturday.
