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. T
woman recovered In a few hours.

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.

SETTLED OUT OF COURT.
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.

State Agricultural college writes : "I have

Thcro Arc DUcounts and Discounts.
It Is almost an hourly occurrence In ou
store to 'hear some customer argue the fac
that at some place they can get a discount e
10 or 12 % per cent. For the benefit of th
general public we wish to state that ou
shoes are marked In plain figures at sue
prices that we cannot give a discount to anj
body , not even dealers. Had we arrange
for a discount trade wo would have been coir
pelled to add 10 per cent to the selling prlc
In order to take It off , which would bo
simple matter , as you all know.

MILLAHD HOTEL BLOCK.
A local crockery dealer , who Is well posted on clilnn ,
claims that the reason China went to pieces at Port Arthur
is because of the lacking experience in 1'ekln' . Sing Long ,
the diplomat laumlercr of Cumlng street , attributes the
defeat to the fact that It takes a good many pieces of China to
n set for a Jap to feast on. Secretary Grcsham is trying to
persuade the emperor to give some China to the Japs as a
Christinas present in order to keep Shanghai from the
bpullcts. ( )
China makes a lovely Xmas present among the rich , but
the non-rich must look to something more useful and less
ornamental. A suit of dressv and warm clothes Is the thing.
