8 TIIE OMAHA DAILY BE JB-'SUN ; DAY , JULY 21 , 1895. POT CALLS KETTMJ BLACK Grant Bsatralns the City from Buying As phalt from Mnrphy , PAVING CONTRACTORS IN TIIE COURTS Ono Charges tint tha Utlior Coinplrncl with Certain Olllclals to Defraud City Kcliocn i > t the Failure of nil Insurance Comimnjr. Omaha paving contractors have gone to war , John Grant began operations yesterday In district court against Hugh Murphy by filing a petition for an Injunction to restrain the city from purchasing of Murphy a lot ot paving material at a bulk cost of $6,735.40. Grant , as a taxpayer , for himself and "all others similarly situated , " alleges that the city Is being made Ihe victim of a fraudulent and collusive scheme on the part of Murphy and Bomo members of the clly government , whoso names , barring that of Peter Back , Grant has riot been able lo learn , lo charge nn exhorbllant price for Ihe material , and to purchase It contrary to law. Grant alleges that the plan was formed list June , when Back Introduced a resolu tion In the city council , reciting that as the clly had concluded nol lo pave Pierce and Third streets , and as Murphy had , at con siderable expense , procured paving material for use there , tint the clly should try to cffecl a seltlement with him. A commlflee was appointed , of which Back , Kcment and Saunders were members. They reporled fa vorably , IhoughKement and Saunders , Grant Bays , were not , owing to the rush of busi ness , acquainted with the contents of the report they signed , which was nothing moro or less than a parl of a scheme lo foist material on the city wlthoul calling for com- petlllve bids. July 1C , Granl alleges. Mur phy made a wrllten proposition to the city council to hawk off a Job lot ot material for 18,735.40 , agieelng in a further communica tion to waive all damages regarding paving dlstrlcls 461 ? and 4C4. In view of all of Ihls , Grant nays tint the Board of Public Winrks Is about to buy the stuff , and the treasurer Is to pay for the samo. He wants them restrained from so doing. C'HAIUH'.S ANU COUSinil CIIAKOKS. bult that Grow * Out of 1111 Inaurunco Com pany I'n 11 n ic. The receiver of the now defunct Nebraska Fire Insurance company Is charged with fraudulently conspiring with creditors of the company and allowing largo claims to be filed against It wllhoul requiring proof of their validity. W. B. Mlllard makes this assertion In answer to a suit which he Is waging with A. U. Wyman , the receiver. Mlllard alleges that about $10,000 of such claims have been allowed to pile up agalnsl the Insurance company. Mlllard Is himself Iho defendant In a heavy suit brought by Wyman , as receiver , wherein a claim for $41,000 Is sued upon. It Is in mak ing his defense In this action that the charge of a fraudulent conspiracy Is advanced. Wyman was appointed receiver several years ago , and , In April 1802 , while the action of William Madden agilnst Iho fire In surance company was progressing , his appoint ment was reconfirmed and authority granted to sue on all claims. Thereupon a suit was commenced by Wyman against S. H. John son and G. F. Wright lo recover on a claim for $ J3,000 against them , the action being by attachment and their property was seized as a security to innke good the prospective Judgment. To release It Mlllard became a bondsman to the extent of $70,000 In an In demnifying bond , so that the action brought by Wyman against W. B. Mlllard Is based on damages' accruing by reason of giving this bond. Resides charging that the Nebraska Fire , Insurance company has been In Ihe business ot allowing claims lo pile up agalnsl It wllh oul exacting proper proof Mlllard makes the defense on the suit on the bond that he signed H with the understanding that A. L , Reed was to bo a fellow signer and states that this condition was never fulfilled , so that he Is exonerated. In the past much lltigallon has arisen over the remains of the defunct Insurance com pany , actions having been brought to compel the heavy stockholders to pay In large sums to liquidate fire claims. This branch of the case Is In the supreme courl. The clalmanU are scallered all over the western btates , many ot them being farmers. A k * for Kfltiirn nf the Mnney. The Injunction suit of Clark M. Platt against the Dime Savings bank and Its offi cers took a new shoot In court yesterday , when W. II. Russell , Its former president , filed his answer to the explanation of his con nection wllh Ihe affair. Platt was Induced to take $1,500 of stock In the bank in January , 1894. Shortly after ward the directors notified him lhat he was asessed BO per cenl on his slock. Looking Inlo Iho mailer Plait claims to have dis covered lhat the bank was Insolvent when he bought the stock. Ho sued for Iho money nnd asked for an Injunction to stop the as sessment being levied. Russell denies the bank's Insolvency or thai he made any repre sentations to effect a sale not supported by the bank's condition. He admits llmt ho opposed Iho plan of Ihe dlreclors lo make an assessmerl , upon Iho adopllon of which action ho resigned as presldenl.

AT THE SCHOOL FOR THE MUTES ( loTornor Holcoinh Impeded the IlcpilfK Urine Made nt the Institute. Governor Silas A. Holcomb devoted yester day morning to an inspection of the repairs now being made on the buildings of the Instllule for the Deaf , Oils cily. The governor said he had gone over Ihe con- lemplaled repairs with Superlnlendenl Gil- lesple , under whose dlrecllon Ihe changes were being made. "There Is avallabls about $11,000 , If I remember rlghlly , lo make Ihe changes Imperallvcly necessary , " said the governor , "and these changes should bo pushed as ' rapidly as possible , and even then I doubl If all will be made before Ihe fall lerm commences. There is available Ihe sum of $3,000 lo build a sewer lo connect with the city sewer , but as the sewer to be built would traverse qulle a dls- lance through ungraded lots and lands I believe It would be well to await future action on the part ot the legislature. , as the amount appropriated would not cover the cost of construction under exist ing circumstances. As for the repairs of the buildings and the plumbing , they will bo made as rapidly as possible. The work of repair Is going on as rapidly as possible tinker the direction of Mr. Glllesple , his as- slslanl being an employe of the Institution , who has been connected with Ihe school for years as Us carpenter. As for llio compllca- llons arising out of the appointment of a new foreman I am not In a position to pass an opinion. I know , however , thai SuperIntendent - Intendent Gllllesple Is looking after the changes and using the appropriation as di rected. " f WAITING FOK THE VERDICP. Iliirncy Me > lnn CIIBO Not Yet In the Su- prrtno Court. Barney McGinn was receiving his usual Saturday vlsllors yeslerday. The balance of the week he Is kepi In a separate cell. On S.at- urday he is allowed to stay In the large cage where one or two friends call on him. In appearance he Is aging considerably. It Is about a year and a half since Mc Ginn's case was started loward Iho supreme court , In the hopes that the verdict for murder could be set aside. In April , 1S94 , he was sentenced to death. This sentence was suspended Last September his allor- ness prepared their briefs for argument , Iho case being passed unlll last March. Atlor- ncy General Chuichill again asked for lime and up lo dale has not filed his brief on be half of the state. McGinn's altorneys have some twenty errors predicated upon , by rea son of which they ask for a reversal. The state has not showed Its hand. WHILE TALKING TO A FRIEND. fcmlilcn Death of John Yitlgmuth , a Visitor In the City. John Walgmulh dropped dead In Kerns' saloon on Fourleenlh streel yeslerday afler- noon. The deceased was a miner of considerable properly and lived at Spokane , Wash. He had been east for some weeks visiting at his old home In Sp/ingfleld , 111. He had started on his return lo Suokanc and reached Omaha yesterday morning. He had a number of friends here and slarted out to call upon them. He dropped Into Kerns' place and was talking with the proprietor when he suddenly fell to Ihe floor and was dead In an Instant. The body was removed to the morgue , where It will be held until word Is received from the family. Mr. Wnlgmuth was 53 years old and had a family living at Spokane. He had not been drinking , In fact did not drink liquor at any time and his death Is supposed to have been caused by an apoplecllo attack. Sqiutrril Many Ai counts. City Treasurer Dumonl has been disposing of Iho balance In Ihe school fund by paying as many as possible of Ihe luleresl bearing warrants. Fullly $25,000 In reglslered war- ranis have been paid during Ihe past week. He has also paid all v\arranls on account of running expenses. This reduces the balance In Iho school fund to about $1,800 , which does not Include the $10,000 said to be on deposit In the Midland Stale bank and which has not yet been lurned over to the new treas urer. Another Hlortrlo Car Line. Next week the Omaha Street Railway company will commence relaying Iho track on the I.ake and Thirtieth street line pre paratory to putting In electric service. The grading will soon be completed and track laying will quickly follow. This will give einplojment lo twenty men. The work will be pushed rapidly to completion. * * IT'S A 1IKK.VU WINJ.EK.

TRYING [ XPtRIENCE OF LOTTIE GILSEY Vonng Girl Sitveil Through the Agency of a Society Mil to King TnUci Advan tage ot Illi Nitmemtho nii'i Makes Uio of tils 1'cu. There arc several persons In Omaha who devote much ot their tlmo to the work of caring for boys and girls and providing homes for the children of parents who arc unable to care for them or whoso character Is such that the authorities find It necessary to take their children from them. Hev. A.V. . Clarke of the Hoys and Girls Aid society has his hands full of this kind ot work , and Mrs. Cummlngs , the police matron , usually has a waif or tuo In her charge for whom she assumes the burden ot finding a suitable home. These workers meet with some strange experiences. Uev. Mr. Clarke has Just found a home for a bright girl with a family of Christian people near Grand Island , after having had no end of trouble over the girl In an effort to save her from two women , both of whom claimed her , while neither was the proper kind of a person to be charged with the rearing of a young girl. Some months ago Lottie GlUey came under the attention ot Mr. Clarke and the police matron. She was on exceptionally pretty girl , nearly 15 years of Ago and was \ery bright. Her mother did not see her way clear to support her and expressed a willing ness to have the authorities find a home for Lottie. An Investigation dUcloscd that the girl was not well surrounded In her mother's home , and It was decldej to place her under the charge of the Doys and Girls Aid society until a home could bo foil nil for her. Lottto was taken to the house of the society and hart remained there but a very few da > s when a woman called and ofterej to take the girl and provide her a home. She gave her name as Mrs. Martin and said that she had lost a little girl about Lottie's ago and would bo glad to ha\c Lottlo take the place ot her own "departed darling. " The woman's story was satisfactory , nn3 as she ga\e acceptable references she was allowed to take the little Gllsey girl away. This was the last heard of Lottie until a few days ago , when her mother ap peared and made charges against Mrs. Mar tin that Induced the authorities to make an Investigation. A strange state of affairs was discovered. It appeared that Mrs. Martin had not lost a daughter about Lottie's age , but had a girl of that age living. She had complained of poverty and professed to be unable to support her own child and had al lowed her to make her home with some more prosperous friends or relatives and had then taken the Gllsey girl and had offered to make a home for her. It was this state of affairs that Mrs. Gllsey reported to the authorities , and the Investigation verified her statements. The authorities were satisfied that Mrs. Mar tin had taken the girl tor no good purpose and that her surroundings were quite as bad as those of her own home from which she had been originally taken. Mrs. Gllsey wanted her daughter and Mrs. Martin did not want to part with the child. Rev. Clarke fortunately had an offer of a good homo for the girl In the western part of the state , and sent her there , freeing her from the In fluences of two women , neither of whom could give the girl the proper kind of a home KINO WAS HANDY WITH HIS PEN. the Niimn nf Annllirr Man Lands n Mute In .full. W. r. King is In Jail on the charge of being a fugitive from Justice. He is wanted at Ida Grove , la. , for forgery. , The prisoner Is a deaf mute , and Is well known to the police of Omaha. He usedMo work his game In this section , but has beer out of the city for several months. He works the sympathy racket for all It will stand , and It has stood a good deal at Ida Grove. King dropped Into Ida Grove last April and went Into a drug store and asked for enough poison to kill Tilraself. He was tired of living and wanted to put an end to his misery right there. The druggist took compasblon on the man , paid for his lodging and breakfast at the Slender hotel , and In duced him to stay on earth a while longer. Mr. Slender also became intercsled In King and finally got a Job for him on the King ranch near .Ida Grove. The proprietor of the ranch has a daughter who Is a mute , and he took pains to keep his namesake em ployed. Last Thursday evening the mute went to Ida Grove and offered his old friend Slender a chertt for $50 , purporting to have been signed by W. L. King , a son of his late em ployer. Mr. Slender cashed the check and Iho forger skipped oul. Sheriff Wagner look charge of Ihe case and learned Frldiy lhal Ihe forger had laken a Iraln al Onawa for Omaha. Ho wired the authorities here , and before he reached the city yeslerday Officer Keysor had King In Jail. As soon as King was arrested he wanted to die , and asked the officers to kill him and Ihus end his suffering. He was willing to go back to Iowa without a requisition and hoped they would send him up for life. He said he had reached Omaha with his J50 , but had lost It In a gambling house In South Omaha last night. _ A FAITHFUL DOG. Sent to Help a Dying Man , Ho Perform * III * Duty. The Intelligence of the shepherd dog and his fallhfulness to man were demonslralert In a remarkable way In connection wllh the death of Charles Glllen , a native of Prov idence , II. I. , who was killed In "Montana two months ago by Ihe discharge of his revolver , says a wrller In Ihe Providence Journal. On May 2 he went out on a buying trip and was In the Dig Hole county , 110 miles from Untie City. Ho had bought a lot of sheep and catlle and was going furlher Into the country lo visit olher ranches. He usu ally paid for his purchases with checks , but when he went lo ranches so far from business cenlers he could make beller terms for cash , because of the Inconvenience of traveling to get checks cashed. He had taken some f 0,000 with him on Mils Irlp and for protection carried a revolver. Some two miles from the nearest ranch he had occasion to make a slop In Ihe s go brush. His revolver he had dropped Into one of his "chaps , " as the hip boots worn by the riders In thai country are called. As he remounted his horse the re volver was discharged. He had dropped the pistol in the "chap" with muzzle up , and the hammer hit against the horn of the sad dle. A ball was sent up through his groin , and , passing upward through the body , came out behind one of his shoulders. He fell to the ground , but rallied , and , mortally wounded though ho was , he once more climbed Inlo the saddle , but could not sit on his horse Painting from loss ot blood , ho tum bled oul of Ihe caddie a second lime. When he revived his shepherd dog was over him , acting as though fully aware of the serious nature of what had happened. The dog was one of two which Glllen had trained to held boms and cattle. Real izing that he was probably mortally wounded , and that prompt assistance must be ob tained It the slight chance be had of sur viving was to be made the most of , Glllen lold Ihe dog to "go to McVey's ranch , " This was the nearest ranch , and one from which he might expect help to b > tent as soon as they could know ot the accident. There were other ranches In the surround ing country , but assistance might be ob tained more quickly from this one. The dog whined and cried , and showed a desire to stay by his master's side , but Glllen fcoUIcil and told the dog to run the hone lo McVey's. Finally the dog started ths horse ahead of him , and made a bee line for the ranch mentioned. On the way the horse fell In with a band of fifty other horses , but the dog cut him out and ran him at full speed to the ranch. * On arriving In sight of ! the ranch the dog began barking to attract attention , and when the dog and riderless horse arrived at the place the people knew something had hap pened to Glllen. Aa goon as the dog saw that the blood on the caddlo was noticed he turned and ex citedly manifested a desire that the ranchmen should hasten back to where Qlllen lay. Horses were quickly mounted , and the horse men had dlfilcully In keeping the dog In tight , so great was the animal's haste to re turn to the tide ot bis wounded master. Glllen was still allvo when hli friends reached him. . PUCU A1IMUSIUN y TO COtltTI. Nl > The date * to Omnn Vlte ort Are ( 'pill to the fUbllc.

General Superintendent Rathburn of Iho Missouri Pacific , who IB In Omaha to note the progress being made by Ihe Nebraska State Fair association In granting his reid and the Ilurllngton right-of-way to the fair grounds , stated that the matter was still In the hands of the association , but he had received assurance that Ihe grant would prob ably bo executed next week. The failure of thono Interested In securing the rlght-cf-way to the grounds from the Missouri Pacific tracks , which will be Jointly used by Iho Ilurllngton , necessarily Involves considerable legal work and this Is sill ! un completed. Then , too , the leg l department of the Unrllngton has added fifteen sections to the agreement prepared by the legal de partment of Iho Missouri Pacific , reltalve to the Joint use of the tracks and the charges to be made on the part of the Missouri Pa cific for handling the Burlington trains and these sections mail be gone over before rati fication by the general managers. Mr. Rathb.'rn stated that the work of construction would bo rapidly pushed the moment right-of-way was secured , but his company was powerless lo go ahead unlll the legal questions had been entirely taken care of by both parties to the agreement. Dut Mr. Rathburn had other things to talk about than a rlghl of way lo the state fair grounds. He was enthuslasllc over Ihe con- dlllon of the crops In his territory , and his face glowed as ho thought of the Incieased business his company would show on the central branch , commencing September 1. "The mechanical department of the com pany Is busily engagfd In pulling cars In repair , and shop forces are being augmented at a number of points. Allogether the out look Is tplendld , better than In years p < st , and we arc correspondingly happy , " said Mr. Rathburn. WHITE HOTJjK BABIES. llccollectloiii of tho'I oil Kuril In Ihe Exrc- utlvo .1inii lmi. The first white house baby was n girl and rniile her debut during the reign of Ja-kson , In 1830. There was the space of sixty-five jears , sajs a Washington correspondent of the St Louis Re public , belween Ihe first and the last while house baby. The first was the daughter of Presldcnl Jackson's niece , who was Ihe wife of Andrew Jackson DoneUon. This gentle man performed Ihe duty of private secretary lo Ihe president. Mrs. Donelron , Jackson's niece , not yet 20 , cam * with her uncle to the white house to preside as Its mistress This was the first while house baby. Baby Doneleon grew up and married a Mississippi gentleman , once a congressman , named Will- cox. General Wlllcox has been dead fully thirty jcars , and Mrs. Wlllcox , who was the first lo trj the white house as a place wherein to be born , has since Grant's time been a clerk In the Treasury. The first white house baby Is an old , gray-haired lady nowj and the day Baby Eslher was born she was busy al her desk In Ihe Treasury not 100 yards from the baby's cradle. Yet the first baby has wit nessed much of the world. Her father , fol lowing his term as Jatkson's secretary , was at various European courls as minister. He- came home lo plunge Into politics , and once ran for the vice presidency. Hut whether It came to her as the property of her father or her husband , the facl remains that the war swept away what riches Mrs. Wlllcox possessed and Grant gave her the position she now holds. Jackson's administration produced two more white house babies , both Uonclsons both offsprings of his niece. The second and third were John S. Donelsonand .Rachel Don elson. The world waited until President Tyler for the next white house baby. This -\as Robert Tyler Jones , the child of President Tyler'e daughter , Mary , whose husband , Captain Jones , was a South Carolinian. This , the fourth white house baby , grew up to be a soldier of the confederacy. He served as captain In Armlstead's brigade and was wounded several limes. He Is now dead , and his grave Is very new. He passed awa > a broken , shallered man , In bitter poverty , only a few weeks ago. Robert Tyler Jones came to Washington following the war. His uncle , a son of President Tyler , held a slight position In the Treasury. Paralysis seized him , and the fourth white house baby took his uncle's place , and did the work and divided the small salary with him. About a month ago Post- masler General Wilson gave Ihe fourth white house baby a place as laborer at $50 a month Shatlered by wounds , weakened by prlvallon Ihe fourlh while house baby only summoned strength enough to work one day. Then he crept home and died. It would seem as If the Tjler family were purtued by ill-luck. The grave of the old president at Richmond mend has loday no moreof a slick or slone to mark It than the last resting place of some pauper In a potter field. Neither the slate of Virginia , the mother of presidents , and who behaves like a stepmother In this business of tombstones , nor yet Ihe Untied Stales has ever betrayed the sllghlest inter est In the last resting place ot President Tylsr. Mrs. Lelllla Tyler Semple , Ihe daughter of President Tylsr , who presided at the white house during his term as the first lady of the land , Is now an Inmate of the Louise Home for Aged Women , an Instltu- Uon In this city , built by philanthropy. Her pension of ? S per month Is her patri mony. The story of Robert T > ler Jones has been briefly mentioned. It Is a fact that until Robert Tyler Jones was dismissed from his position a year ago , the curious could find Iwo white house babies , Mrs. Wlllcox and Tyler Jones , earning meager salaries in the treasury , from which they could overlook the great house they were born In. But that bouse has changed hands many times since their cradle days , and the new tenants were slrangers lo them. The fifth baby was Julia Dent Granl , daughter of Colonel Fred Grant , who was born there while her grandfather was presi dent. There Is nothing tft remark about the fifth white house baby beyond the fact thai she was christened Idthe ) blue room , wherea * the others bad all sbdeii christened In the east room , there bqlilts' on these occasions many Invlled gueste-i1 and the proceedings being marked by afashion of gentle , loving friends. The sixth white house baby , and the last one to date , was ( UiUyKstlier. When she was born her falhej-'wia'entltled to remark that of all the chief magistrates since Wash ington , he ( Cleveland/ ) was the first to be come a parent durlngdlila term of office. Thus It will be seem-that Ihe list of genu ine white house habitants but a short one Only six In all , Bibyi Esther , the last one ot the line ; three doJd ; Ihe- Iwo Donelson babies and Tyler Jonos. who died in Ihe cells of want.

The new woman and the summer girl begin to blend their Identities. The summer girl Is an aposllo of Ihe Trilby craze this season and she had devote'd a good deal of attention to her ( set preparatory to the sum mer campaign , and she goes barefooled with her pink Boles and her polished lee nails down on to the sands by the sea. She sits In the sarid with her feet In all their nude and rosy loveliness , slicking out In front of her , dazzling the sunshine and tempting1 the rays and the breezes to give them a fond coat of tan. Then at night she bathes them In lem.on juice , and puts cold crearn and pink lotions upon them , and eventually she treads hearts beneath them. Her bathing suit Is more abbreviated than In former years and her hair wag never burnished so smoothly over her shapely head. She can talk about the up-to-date novel , too , and she believes In a mission for woman , and thinks about It a good deal while she polishes her toenalU , The summer man learns about the new woman , , THEIll FIRST ANNUAL PIONIO Molt Delightful Afternoon nncl Outing In llnnicoin 1'ut It. A string ot halt a dozen motor cars pic turesquely draped with Hags and bunting carried the employes of the M. n. Smith Dry Goods company on their first annual picnic at Hanicom park yesterday afternoon. The start was made at the wholesale house at Eleventh and Howard streets and from there the train went on the Walnut Hill line to Twenty-fourth and Cumlng streets , where It was switched on the cross town line , which brought It to the park. There were nearly 300 cmplojes aboard and as they were rapidly whirled through the city It was In evidence that they Intended to make their first outing an occasion to be remembered , Each pic nicker wore a red badge bearing the name of the firm , and with the numerous white dreses and bunches of flowers the party pre- seated a truly holiday appearance.

Unless there Is a radical change In the situation before Monday ulght , It Is not at all Improbable that there will bo a dead lock In the selection of a superintendent of schools when the Board ot Education meets on that evening. As near as can bo learned no candidate Is the present pos sessor of the eight votes that will be nec essary to elect , Some of the friends ot Dr. Marble declare that they will , succeed In breaking the line of the opposi tion , and that they have the eighth vote which Ihcy lacked before , bul If the assertions of his opponents are to bo be lieved , the Marble forces are moro sanguine than the situation warrants. The oppfipltlonlsls are sill ! divided on va rious candidates and unless they can unite or break Into the Marble votes there Is no telling when an election can be successfully consummated. Two of the anll-Marblo men are stc-ulfasl In lliclr support of Attorney Williams. These are understood to be John son and Lower. Two others are pulling for Superintendent Cooper ot Des Mdlnes , while another favors Richardson of Wichita With so much division of opinion In the ranks of the opposition the Marble men claim to have the advantage as long as they can keep their seven votes m line. Rev. Mr. Crnmblctt reached home last night and the eight members who oppo'e Marble will caucus between now and Monday night and endeavor to agree on a candidate Sperlntendcnt Virgil Curtis of New Hiven , Conn. , Is said to bo a new cindldale for Ihe Job and ho Is expected In the city some tlmo during the week. It Is expected that an effort will bo made to Induce the antl Marble members to concentrate their votes on him at the caucus. It Is slated that there are several candidates tor the position whoso names have not been sprung because they are unwilling to enter the race so long as there Is a chance for Dr. Maible's re-election.
