O inn. * CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Evenly Divided Vote Sustains Mayor's Veto of Union Depot Ordinance , BUT IT MUST BE FOUGHT CV2R AGAIN Practically the Snma Onllnnnco Is ItHnlro- < lucccl Iloivoll Culled It a Unmnnlilo Clat- i rnc A Letter from Mr , lltmlmll Amendment ! Not hlRiilllcnnt. After three woohs of lobbying1 , during which every possible expedient was retorted to by Its supporters , nnd all the pressure which the corporation Interests could com mand was brought to bear In Its favor , the Union depot ordinance met defeat In the city Council last night , As soon as it was evident that the veto of the- mayor would be sus tained , the members hastened to get In out of the wet , and only nlno members were willing to bo recorded agaln.it the veto. Spccht was absent when the roll waa called and on motion of Wheeler a call of the house was ordered. The sergeant-at-arms produced Specht at 9 o'clock , and then the mayor's veto of the depot ordinance was read as fol lows : MAYOR BEMIS' OBJECTIONS. I return herewith , without my approval , an ordinance to provide for the completion < 3f the Tenth street ile ; > ot nnd for the sot- tlemcnt of certain controversies with the Union Pacific Itallwuy company and the Union Depot company , and authorizing the execution of curtain deeds of conveyance , and submitting this ordinance for the up- proval of the electors of the city of Omaha at the general election to bo held November C , 1634. This ordinance li In the nature ot a sen- cral settlement of all the controversies be tween the city and the Union Pacific and Union Depot companies' ' , and If It becomes a law and Is sanctioned by the people It will bo final. It IH , therefore , Important that the Interests of the city should be protected In all respects. The ordinance , ns passed by the council , contains a number oC pvrlous defects , which should be remedied in order to more fully protect the Interests of the city. liy this ordinance the city relinquishes Its rlRht to Insist upon all railroads being per mitted to use the Union Pacific bridge on payment o ( rea otiiblc ccmpc sa'lon , ns rro vlueil In section U of what Is fienerally known as the "Saundcra deed. " Further more , there Is no provision made for the use , upon fair and equal terms and Just nnd rea sonable compensation , of the proposed union depot by other roads , as was made In the settlement of HS9. I rcpard these two points as hlKhly Importnnt , and they should , by till means be Included In the proposed settle ment before It 1ms passed out of the power of the city to Insist upon these points. Even If the Milwaukee nml Hock Island roads , which are now using the temporary depot facilities , are protected by existing con tracts , as claimed by the representatives of the Union Depot company , other companies desiring to use the bridge nnd depot could secure access oiilv upon such terms as the Union Pticlllc , whfih cent ols the bridge , i nd the Union Depot company , which controls the depot grounds , might dictate. While the right of the Union Pacific com pany to lay Hacks on Fourteenth street , granted in the deed of the city , recorded In Hook "S" of ilord , nt page f > 99 , has un doubtedly expired , I would advise that In a Bpneral settlement , such as Is proposed , n quit claim from the Union Pacific company should be secured. To make the clause on page 2 of the ordi nance , relating to the Cass street bridge site , moie definite , I would advise that after the word "point" in the seventh line from the top of the page the words "within the Union Pacific shop grounds" be Inserted and at the end of the paragraph after the word "tracks" the words "without other compensation or damages than those con tained herein" be added. On page 3 , In the flfth line from the top , the word "eastern , " referring to the approach to the Cass street bridge , should be changed to "western. " On page e. In Hue No. 11 from the top. the words "tho mayor nnd city council" should be Inserted to supply an evident omission. The ordinance should provide that lh deed from the city to the Union Paclfle company should refer to general ordinance No. 2.9SO , regulating' the use of the streets and alleys In the city by railway companies for switching purposes , with a suitable pro- vlslor ( making the conveyance subject to the terms of that ordinance. While I am not satisfied with the size and character of the proposed depot , and while I think that Omaha Is entitled to bet ter treatment than It has received at the hands of the Union Paclftc and U. & sr. companies , I am In favor of wiping out old scores and beginning anew , anil If the or dinance Is modified along the lines 1 have suggested herein I will approve of It. Mil. KIMDALL.S LETTER. Wheeler then submitted the following com munication from the Union Depot com pany , which was placed on fllo : OMAHA , Oet , 5. To the Honorable Mayor nnd Olty Council of the City of Omaha- Gentlemen I am advUcil by the public pi ess nnd by members of your body that there Is before you now far IImil consideration and approval or rejection an ordinance com monly called the "depot ordinance , " which practically anil fully settles all matters of difference between the city and the Union Pacific railway , and the Union Depot com pany , which ordinance 1ms been examined and approved by said companies and a ma jority of your body , but imaliist which Is urged the objection that It does not contain a provision permitting all roads to use said "Oepot. yard , switching ami other terminal facilities , " anil for that reason Is seriously objected to by n few persons , and by per haps some members of the city council. Tu satisfy such objectors , I desire to say that the settlement made by said oidlnnncu Is more particularly made with the I'nlori Pa cific Hallway company : that If such settle ment IH niaile the terminal yard , depot and Ita adjuncts are to be transferred to the Union Depot company , an entirely separate nnd distinct organization ; that said Union Depot eompany In now operating Bald yunl and such depot facilities us It has , and the Union Pacific. 11. A M. , Chicago , liurllngtori & Qulncy , Milwaukee and Rack Island rail ways are using the same , each pajlng Its just , equitable ami fair proportion of ex penses for maintaining and operating the same. The Union Depot company has , among other rules It nilonted In accordance with the provisions of Its articles of Incorpora tion , one rule which provides that any rall- oad cotrpany desiring to avail Uself of tnch depot , ynnl , track , switching anil terminal facilities shall be given such right nnd privi lege upon Its agreeing to pay n fair and equitable proportion of the Interest charges and expenses of maintenance nml opera tion. As the president and executive olllcer of the Union Depot company , I desire to say that wo are ready , willing and anxious to grant such privileges to any railroad company desiring to use the same , upon such Just and equitable terms and to the extent of the capacity ot our company to accommodate them. When the present union depot project was authorized by the Union Pacific company. all railways entering Omaha anil Counrll Uluffs were offered the opportunity to take a proprietary Interest In the plant on equal termw with the Union Pacific. The Hurling- ton company was the only ono which ac cepted , the others preferilng occupancy as tenants. If any of the latter have changed their views nnd now prefer to-sharo In the ownership they can do BO by promptly ac cepting the original proposition nnd putting up their pro rala ptoportlon of the capital THOMAS I , .

Just before the council adjourned a little red fire was burned over th& Introduction by Wheeler of another ordinance providing for filling vacancies In city oHlces. A motion that the ordinance llo over under the rules brought llowcll to hla feet with a motion to refer to tlio Judiciary committee. Wheeler explained that the ordinance had been re ferred to that committee and It had refused to bring In a report. Half a dozen members attempted to talk nt once and the old fight that had been lost sight of wlille the depot ordinance was under consideration broke out anew , Spccht assailed the demo crats for breaking faith after they had prom ised , when John Evans was appointed , to pass the ordinance at once , llowcll said that there was no use In mincing matters , as the democrats Intended to keep their man In the city clerk's office It they could. The dis cussion waa red hot for a leu- minutes , and then the republican members carried their point on the roll call , and the ordinance was not referred. WILL TRY IT AOA1N. While this was going on City Attorney Con- ncll was doctoring the defeated union depot ordinance , and It was relntroduced with one or two slight amendments. Howcll denounced this action as "a damnable outrage. " He said that this ordinance had been vetoed by the mayor and the veto , had been sustained with three votes to spare , and to attempt a eocond time to crowd It down the throats of the members wan "rubbing It In. " Elsasscr called for the. reading of the ordinance In full. Hascall rtrcnuously objected , but the chair ruled that any member could call for trio reading , and the council waltod patiently while the clerk waded through the lengthy document. The amended ordinance wan the counterpart of the original with ono or two words supplied which hail been uccldenta'ly omitted before. The or dinance wan laid over under the rules and a motion to adjourn prevailed. An Inveterate Too of Indigestion Is Dr. Price's Baking Powder. ART LOAN EXHIBITION. Western Art AiKnclntlon I'rcpnrlng1 for tlio Show of I.ncal Trrusiiros. The members of the Western Art associa tion , upon whom rests the turden of hanging the pictures for the Art Loan exhibition and the display of students' work connected with the Academy of Fine Arts , have had their hands full during the past ten days In arranging for the exhibition , getting the rooms In shape , tinting the walls and pre paring for a permanent homo for art In Omaha. Their conscientious efforts , however , to give this city an exhibit worthy the name begins to bear fruit , and by this afternoon the exhibit will be In position to be critically examined by the public. In many respects It already gives promise of being the very best art exhibition Omaha haa had , from a purely local standpoint , as tharo Is not a plcturo on the walls that is not owned In Omaha , or Council Bluffs. Many of the metropolis' best known citizens have loaned the Western Art association their pictures , and It will be a rare treat for those who have never seen these pictures upon the walls of their owners' homes to Judge of the standard of art In this city as represented by these works' . Electricians are at work wiring the upper floor of the Library building , and will com plete their work by night , when the building will be Illuminated. The rooms are llne-ly adapted for the purposes Intended , and the exhibit will bo a surprise and an unmixed delight to lovers of the beautiful Interested In the development of art In the west , and particularly Omaha. The exhibition Is open , however , many of the rooms having been completed with their complement ot pictures , which are n credit to the city and state. An admission of 25 cents will be charged visit- cm , for the purpose of defraying the ex penses of the association In giving to Omaha a leally tine art exhibit.

Al the final session of the North Nebraska conference yesterday afternoon Bishop An drews made the appointment of ministers for I ho ensuing year. An unexpected change In'tho assignments was the transfer of Rev. D. K. Tlndall from the pastorate of the So ward Street church to the presiding eldership of the Grand Island district. The announcement came as a com plete surprise to the conference , and was greeted with a spontaneous burst of applause. Itcv. Dr. Beans goes from Trinity church to the Seward Street church. This assign ment also created some surprise , as It had generally been supposed that the Trinity pas tor would go to Qulncy , III , Dr. Deans had visited Qulncy , and his transfer to that point liad been looked upon as a foregcrfD con clusion. He stated last evening , however , that the announcement had been premature. There had been some thought of his trans fer , but It was concluded that lila services were needed more In Nebraska , than In Illi nois. The appointments were : Grand Island District D. K.

The report alludes to the fact that the uni versity now boasts 325 students within Its halls and a rapidly augmenting fund for the liquidation of Its debt. The splendid con dition of the university Is attributed to "the untiring and self-sacrificing devotion of the board of trustees , the efficient and scholarly work of the faculty , the enthusiastic and aggressive effort of the financial agent , Rev.

Resolved , That we request our presiding1 ciders to send our several apportionments to the earliest practicable moment and that after our educational collections this shall bo the first presented to our people. The matter of caring for Methodist minis ters and their families In the drouthistrlcken district * during the winter came up for a warm discussion. Bishop Andrews stated In cidentally that as : he had traveled through northern Nebraska he had noticed that at the little railroad stations there were no coal bins , full for the winter emergency. He could not account for the fact. The fact wag brought out by ta half-dozen ministers that the coal dealers .had adopted the policy of keeping no moro coal on hand than they could dispose of from Way to day. Tfiey have decided upon this policy for the reason , they claim , that the people who have no money will take the coahanyway. The same policy , It was asserted , had been adopted by the elevator and mill men. Several ministers spolco upon the urgent necessity for Immediate organization for re lief work. Dr. Leonard and Bishop Andrews pledges thg assistance of eastern churches. C , 0. Lnrrlson , ( chairman of the committee on Sunday schools , 'recommended that all pastors use zealous care In securing the use ot Methodist literature In every Methodist Episcopal Sunday school , and con demning that spirit of false economy that would buy literature of so-called union pub lishing houses because of Its cheapness , E. H. Jlllrlance , ifrom thc tract committee , reported that during ihe year the conference had contributed to the tract cause $76 and that the apportionment for < he coming" year Is $202. A resolution endorsing and approving the methods of the Women's Home and Women's Foreign Mission societies was adopted upon recommendation of the committee on mis sionary societies. Hov. H. H. Millard was elected the north Nebraska conference director for tlie fin. worth league. o A friend of every woman who would please her husband Is Dr. Price's Baking Powder.

HIS LATEST LETTER IN THE MATTER Hx-Ooternor lloyit Urgea Ml Lorem of ( loot Government to Vuto for Jutlgo llol- cutnb I'opullut Cltjr C'oniinUtco Organizes. Congressman Bryan has at length , throng' Mr. C. J. Smyth , chairman of the demo cratlo state central committee , sent to lion John M , Thurslon what purports to be"a straightforward and unconditional challenge' to a series o'f joint debates. It Is a contlti uatlon of the correspondence on the sub ject and reads : OMAHA , Oct. 8. Hon. Jolm M Thurston ; My Dear Sir Yours o the 4th at hand. Will you , or some person nuthorlztd bs- you , meet me ntul arrange , on a fair basis , for two or four debates between yourself and Hon. W J. Bryant "on the questions at Issue be tweeii the republican and democratic par ties ? " You to make no announcement , or such announcement ns you may please touching' your candidacy for the Unltei States senate , Mr. Bryan , however , reserv ing the rlKlit to speak of you as a candidate If he so desires. Awaiting a favorable rcp.y I remain yours very trulv. C. J. SMYTH , Chairman. P. S. I propose two or ( our. Instead oj six , debates , because much time has elapsed since my first communication. By the way , permit me to say that It reems to me you entirely misapprehended the Import of my last note. In the reply now before me you say : "I cannot recognize the rlRht of the * democratic state central committee to dictate the terms and conditions upon which I shall receive and accept Invitations to joint debates. " Your position la correct ami It would bo quite unpardonable on our part to assume that rlsht. Hut did. v e ? You stated you would stand on the republi can platform. We Bald that was satisfac tory. You refused to declare yourself a candidate.V said -ne would relieve you of that requirement , and then renewed the Invitation to debate. The closest scrutlnj of the shniTieBt mind tnust fall , In ms humble judgment , to find any condition In those answers. I find this further statement : "Should I ever be fco fortunate as to receive a. straight forward , unconditional challenge from Mr Bryan to Join him In a discussion of the questions at Issue between the republican and democratic parties. It would be given prompt and favorable attention- . " If the above Invitation or "challenge lie not. In your opinion , stralKhtforw'ard nn < unconditional , please point out wherein It Is lucking and I will promptly supply the deficiency. C. J. 8.

Ex-Qovernor Doyd and Congressman Bryan made short talk : to the democrats of the FUth Ward nt Krrilng's liall last night. Mr. Boy [ | said that he had pledged him self to support Bryan for United States sen ator ami thought that he was the only man who could bo elected. He said that ho was In favor of anything to beat the head of the republican ticket and would giva Holcomb his hearty support. When Mr. Bryan was Introduced ho started In on a talk for Boyd and requested everyone ono present to vote for James E. Boyd for congressman. Mr. prynn stated that the bulk of the populists would vote for democratic candi dates bccauso they Old not want to see a republican elected governor. Ho said that the democrats. In convention did right In en dorsing Judge Holcomb. The democrats wcro the only people who co-operated with the populists and they could still bo good demo crats and void for Holcomb , "It Is said , " remarked the speaker , "that the best legislative ticket ever nominated In Douglas county is democratic ticket. I hope every man In this liall will support this ticket , " When this meeting was over Messrs. Boyd and Bryan went to Metz hall to address a meeting there. Mr. Boyd urged that the democrats elect their legislative ticket and send Bryan to the United States senate , Ho had agreed to support Bryan anil would champion hiscauso In the HeoQiid coiiKrctelonal district. Ho urged Ilia populists to support lilm as they had by thomsolvcB no clmnco to elect a con gressman in tills district. Mr. Bp-an classed publ'c officers as hired men and ? ald that If they Old not suit the people the latter could refuse to contract with them again. He said that Mercer had opposed him In everything he tried to ac complish for Nebraska. Ho commended Boyd as n candidate. He spoke well of the democratic legislative ticket and said that he had advocated fusion with the populists to defeat the republicans , their common enemy. He wanted the Omaha populists to remember what the democrats tvere doing In other parts of the state In order to elect the fusion legislative ticket , He spoke of the 11 slit made by Douglas county to nominate Silas A. Holcomb for governor. A listener demanded to know how Boyd was going to vote on the governorship. Boyd came to the front and said that he was going to vote for Holcomb , and he was given a chorus of cheers. He was asked about his position an the silver question , and he said that ho would go as far as any one with safety to the Interests ot the country for free silver.
