THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SATURDAY , DECEMBER 8 , 1804. CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Ono More Tire Engine to Bo Purchased and Six Hydrants Secured for Trial , DEBATE ON HOLDING HYDRANT RENTAL rinnlly Decided to Itcturn Forfeited Hid of Clllirn * Lighting Company Que < - tton Canted a Slight Ilevlvnl of the Old richt lloutlno Uuilncis , The old electric light fight was unexpect edly resurrected at the special council meet ing last night. Certain tore spots In the councllmanlc anatomy were Irritated until the debate grew sulphurous , and some member ! worked themselves Into a temper which willed their collars and furnished cd.fylng cntcrtaln < rncnt to the lobby. It all grew out of ar Apparently Inoffensive resolution Introduced b ) 1'arker. It provided that all checks lick by the city on account of electric light ant ias ; bids be rctitrncJ to the bidders. The resolution was deftly sandwiched In : lot of routine matters , and at the time no oni discovered that It was loaded. It was ncloptci without discussion , but five minutes latei Klsasser thought he taw a black shadow litho the wood pile , and moved that the actlot by which the resolution was adopted be re considered. This was on the ground tha the resolution contemplated also the returi of the $600 check of the Citizens' Electrli Light and Power company , which had beer declared forfeited because the company hai refused to come In and sign the contrac which had been awarded to It by the council llechel moved to lay the mot on to reconsldei on the table , but this was defeated and th members debated themselves hoarse 01 Klsasser's motion. Hascall made two o three Incoherent speeches In which h vaguely accused Elsasser of being In som way a beneficiary In the transaction. Wheeler and others claimed that since ! th check of the Pardec company had been te turned tlu Citizens' company should b treated likewise. Calm took the floor to say that there wane no comparison between the two cases. Ii the Pardeo case the council had refused t let the contract on the lowest bid of $87.50 It had rejected all bids and could do nothlni els * than return the checks. In the presen case the Citizens' company had been awarde the contract which It had refused to slg ; and the council had been compelled to accep a considerably higher bid. The check ha been wantonly forfeited and should be turns Into the general fund. Hascall made another speech and Parkc accused Elsasser of being a member of ; company which had tried to hold up th Wiley company for $18,000. Then a vet was taken and the motion to reconsider wa lost by 12 to 6. The $600 check will ac cordlngly bo returned. FIRE DEPARTMENT QUESTION. The financial committee , with City Attoi ney Conncll , presented n report In regard t reinforcing the flro department. It state that It would be Impossible for the city t purchase three steamers with the funds no\ available. It had conferred with the official of the Water Works company In regard t Increasing the size of water mains In th down town districts , and had been assure that the receivers would concur In a petltlo to the United States court for an order t enlarge the pipes. The committee therefore recommended thn ono steamer bo purchased and that If I should bo assured that the mains would b enlarged the new council should be requestc to provide for the purchase of the other tw steamers. An Important feature of the report was recommendation that until the relnforcemer ot the water pipe system was assured n more money on hydrant rentals should t paid to the Water Works company. This provision was vigorously opposed b Hascall , who contended that the water work company had carried out Its contract an should bo paid. Wheeler concurred In thl onthe ground that in 16SO the council passe an ordlnanco 'which substantially approve the plpo system as It then existed. To re fuse to pay the hydrant rental would resul In the council being cited to appear befor the United States court to show cause. President Howell took the floor to say thi It was not alone a question ot Inefficiency I the flro department , but also a lack of sufl clency In the water pressure. Thegentli man from the First had made a number < aspersions that were entirely uncalled fo : Ho was willing to meet the emergency tlu undoubtedly existed , but he was averse I compelling the property owners to expen $40,000 for now engines when there was r water with which to run them. Ho was I the council to represent the people and n < the American Water Works company , an If the rentals were held back for a time might have a tendency to expedite the plai Ing of larger mains. SIX HYDRANTS FOR TRIAL. After some further debate the objection able clause was struck out , and the report , : amended , was adopted. The city engineer was directed to procui six Beaumont flro hydrants on trial. Thci are supposed to bo more efficient than the : now In use , as the flow Is not obstructed I rods and valves. The contract and bond of the Omaha Gi Manufacturing company for furnishing gi lamps for street lighting for a term of thri years was approved. The contract for furnishing lumber durlr 1895 was awarded to C. N. Dcltz. A communlcat'on conveying the'lnformatlt that the Board of Park Commissioner * lit passed a resolution recommending that tl name of Rlvervlew park bo changed to MH ray park and that of Southeast avenue Murray avenue on the condition of Tom Mu ray's donation of a tract of land to the pai was referred.

Young Mnn Illona Out the Cns and Lit Close to I'oatli. Jesse Rogers , a young man 19 or 20 yea of ag. , was asphyxiated Thursday night 2207 Farnam street by gas. Ho came to tl city Thursday with the Intention of atten Ing a commercial college , and stayed ov night At the address abivo mentioned wl a friend named Lee. Ho retired about o'clock ; and yesterday morning at 7:30 : 1 friend rapped at his door to awaken him go to breakfast. Ho received no respon and opening the door found the rcom fief of gas and Rogers lying on the bed unco Eclous. It was discovered that ho had part turned off the gas and bad then blown out. Drs. Towne , Glbb3 and Spaldlng we called , and although they worked over hi all day , at a late hcur last night he had B recovered consciousness. It Is a very poc liar case , as the victim of asphyxiation ui ally dies In a short time or recovers co Eclousncss. Ho Is still In a critical commie but Dr. Spaldlng stated that ho thought would recover. The young man's home about ten miles from Kearney. Ills parcn were telegraphed for. This portion ot Farnam street appears be a good place for cases ot this kind , few nights ago an elderly lady , also from t country , was stopping at the next house ct and also turned the gas In her roc in pan off and then blew It out. When the odor the gas became manifest the next mornt It was traced to her room. As the door w locked It became necessary to find some o thin enough to climb through the transo Ai the men ot the house were somewhat c < pulent , the neighborhood had to be search and finally a thin man was found.

Myrn Opel Sulnjf Ilor Ilunband Clmrpd nnil Countcrclmrgns. ST. LOUIS , Dec. 7. The suit for divorce of Mrs. Myra Opel from her husband , Louis Opel , which came up for trial toda ; ' In the circuit court , has caused considerable ot a sensation owing to the social prominence of the persons concerned. The defendant U a prominent business man and the plaintiff aod icr two daughters are leaders In west end oclety circles. On June 19 , 1894 , Mrs. Opel filed suit far divorce , alleging that her hus- "jand threatened her In such a manner as to emlcr her life unbearable and accusing him if habitual drunkenness and of frequently ac cusing her of adultery. She alleged that he njoycd an Income of $25,000 a year , and sued 'or suitable alimony. On October 8 , 1894 , Mr. Opel filed an answer to his wife's peti tion In which he denied her allegations and accused her of adultery with Frank D. Brown. Doth parties sued for the custody f two minor children. Several striking scenes were developed In ho trial , Mrs , Opel was put on the stand. Interest reached Its climax when the com plainant told of bitter accusations , vile In sinuations against her wifely conduct , brutal , obscene words and caths alleged to Itava been heaped upon her systematically by her husband , In public and private fcr seven or eight years , culminating In a declaration by him In a legal document , before either party sought a divorce , that she was unchaste. No s dramatic was the testimony of 14-year- old Myra Opel , who was a witness to ono stormy scene between her parents at the outhern Hotel. Myra was put en the stand to corroborate the statements of her mother and did 'so emphatically. Several other wit nesses \\cro examined and the case was ad ourned until Saturday morning , when Mrs. Opel will resume her testimony.

Sensational Uninngn Suit Is Urauglit to n Sudden Termination. A somewhat celebrated case was brought up before Judge Dundy yesterday and dismissed , the attorneys announcing to the court that the controversy had been settled. The parties were Mrs. Blrney of St. Loul'j and Mrs. Reed of Lincoln. Mrs. Blrney sued Mrs. Reed for false Imprisonment , and the matter came about In this wise : Mrs. Reed Is a highly connected member of the ultra fashionable circles of the city of Lincoln , and Is a .widow without encum brance. Some years after she laid her first husband away , she met W. II. Nelson , and for a second time In her life surrendered her heart to the keeping of ono of the sterner gjndcr. After a brief courtship they became betrothed , and the wedding day was fixed. Nelson finally wandered - dered away from his affectloni and ultimately resigned all claim to the fair widow's hand. She commenced a suit for breach of promise and In the somewhat devious progress of the case Mrs. Blrney furnished an affidavit to the effect that Mrs. Ueed had In her anxiety to corral the affection of her truant lover donned male nttlro and searched for htm through the streets at night. Mrs. Blrney also made other allegations of a surprising nature , all of which were extremely damaging to the case of the widow Reed. As a result , the widow had Mrs. Blrney arrested at St. Louis and brought to Lincoln for trial on the criminal charge of perjury. Mrs. Blrney was acquitted after an exciting trial , lasting several days. She thereupon commenced a suit for damages against Mrs. Reed , but the case has been settled out of court. So has the breach of promise case against Nelson been dismissed anil' the books are closed. Prof. Albert E. Menke of the Kentucky State Agricultural college writes : "I have Found on examination Dr. Price's Baking Powder to bo the strongest and most' whole some In public use.
