T-ubllc business was a secondary considera
tion with the members of the city councl
last night. Councilman Saunderi had call'i
a caucus en the selection of a candidate foi
president , to meet In committee room A ai
7 : 45 o'clock The. . caucus materialized while
the council chamber was tenanted only by HIP
lobby until nearly 9 o'clock. Tlnally the com
mittee room door was unlocked and the mem
ber' * took their scats , trying to look as thougl
it was nil settled.
The mayor vetoed an Item of $2,500 In
tlio RHieral appropriation ordlnanco In favor
of the llarb'r Asphalt company. This Is a
part of the old claim , which has been In
dispute olnce 1801. The major vetoed the
Item on the ground that the amount was
drawn on the sewer maintaining fund , whlcl
could only be used for sewer purposes ac
cording to th ? charter. The veto was sus
tained , and later the tnme Item drawn on
the curbing , guttering and cleaning fund , was
passed. . ,
The following veto was then read and
overridden :

"Section 2. The nmount of such bond to

The balance shown In New Yotlt Is money
Tent tlieie foi the pmpose of pavlnt ? bonds
and coupons , and no mote Is sent than Is
sulllclcnt to pay obligations innturlng It
the neai future. The language of sectloi
2 of ordinance No 23S1 , quoted above. Is
i pcr'irdlnir tlip nrtlnt whether tht
balancer In New Yotk should be Included
In the balances for the purpose of JKIni ,
the amount of the treasurer's bond , ll
these balances aic included the average
monthly liilnnra .during the past twelvj
months vvim JJIS.tol M , which would le-
qulre the bond to bi > for not lo-s thnn $ l'Ji- (
IS ! 00 If the New Yoik lul inces are not
Included , the nmount of the bond mubt be
not less than ? I1S-I20 Gl.
I am Inclined to think , that .1 liberal con
struction should be placed upon the ordl
nanco by excluding the New York balances
from eonstdctatlon , AH a matter of fact ,
the money in New Yoik Is sent there for a
speclllc purpose , and It Is doubtful If the
treasurer could vvlthdiavv It foi any othei
I purpose , although an ordinance bhould be
I passed coxeiIng this point , but even with
these balances out of the way , the fact
remains thut the terms of existing ordi
nances have not been compll'd with , and
the amount has been llxcd nt a lower figure
than the law requires. Hy the most lib
eral construction the amount of th/ > bond
cannot be placed lowci than $110,420BI.
The tie.ipuicr Informs mo that the tlnance
committee obtained figures from his olllce
on which to base the amount of the treas-
utei'H bond , but only wanted the balances
foi ths ten months of the current year
The oidlnunce fipcclllesciy clearly "the
average monthly balances In the hands
of tlm cltv treasurer for the last preceding
je.ir. " and this can only be construed to
mean the balances for the twelve months
last preceding the time when the amount
of the bond Is determined , or the monthly
balaneoH during the tvvelvn montlm of th
pieccdlng calendar jear In the latter case
the amount of the bond would be much
larger than I have Indicated. However this
mny bo , there Is no authority whatever for
basing tlin nmount of the bond upon the
balances for ten montlm , aa has been nt-
tcmpted.

This document was accompanied by a
statement from City Treasurer Dumont , wlio
confirmed the statement of the major rel
ative to the monthly balances.
Saumlers defended the. resolution and
blandly assured the council that In hN opin
ion the amount of the bond would be double
the average monthly balances of 1890.
Hdu.inls alto opposed the veto , on the
ground that the New York balances had not
been Included In figuring on Mr. Diimont's
bond.
Unwell said that he proposed to stand by
the finance committee any way , and the roll
call resulted : Yeas , Hack , llechel , Gordon ,
Holmes , Iluwell , Jacobson , Jajiies ? , Kenimrd ,

Adams at $1,800 per jeur , which would not
expire until next May. This pleco of In

The caucus which was held In committee
reom A for nearly an hour preceding ttio
regular council meeting wag unproductive o
results except for the fact that the aspirations
of Councilman Saundcrs to prtslde over the
deliberations of the council In 1S9G received a
temporary setback. At least that Is the way
that the other contestants \lew the situation
hut Saundcrs still claims n sure thing In the
race. The c-ntcm was called by Blunders
for the avowed object of coming to a vote nt
once. In this It fulled , for after ft long dis
cussion an adjournment was taken to Decem
ber 9 by n decisive vot" .
The members had no sooner assembled In
the committee room Uian the fact became ap
parent that the majority of them were can
didates. Saundcrs , Kt-nnard , 1'rlnco nnd Tay

Mercer had nlso decided that the presldencv

Judge Dundy's court was crowded yeMcr
day , the attraction being the case o
the United States against Richard C. Out
call of Capital National bank fame. This
case grows out ot the old Moiher steal
Outcalt having been the cashier , of the bank
during Moshcr's reign aa president. There
arc tv.o Indictments against Out
call which arc to be tried , One of these
charges the making ot false entries In bank
reports to th ( comptroller , cmbczzlcmen
and abstracting bank funds. The other
charges aiding and abetting Mosher in com
milling the same offenses. District Attor
ney Sawyer is conducting the case on belial

Peculiarity attending n hatching process
over at Sutherland , la. , have become the
cause of a $5,000 libel suit In the fcdera
court.
Warren B. Davis Is a poultry dealer and
breeder over there , and last spring he tool
a notion that he would freshen up his stocl
of white Wyandottea by the Infusion of some
new blood. He got n sitting of eggs fron
Alvnh T. Hunter , editor of Fnrm-Poultry
nt South Nntlck , Mass. . nnd put the eggs
under an Indian gnme hen. He was ills
gustcd with the result , for seven of the eggs
failed to hatch , nnd from the four that dl <
came three chicks with feathered legs , tweet
ot which had also single combs , nnd one
chick that seemed In aptiearance to answer
the breed , though Divls v\ns nfrald to trus
It , because It came from such n lot.
Davlo sent what he cays was a very polite
letter to Hunter about the matter , but Hun
ter , he declares , responded In n "high-
flown" epistle , telling him what ho knew
about \\jnndoltes and declaring that the
eggs ho sent out were all right , for ho hni
often tried them , and never knew them to
fall.
fall.This
This did not suit Davis very well nnd so
ho sat down and wrote a letter to the Fns-
sett-Mlchcl Printing company of Lincoln
which publishes the Western Poultry News
telling all about It.
The company printed the letter and then
berated In Its columns Hunter , who , It de
clared , had treated his customer In n man
ner unworthy of n huckster , nnd said tha
the transaction wns only an Illustration o
the way In which the editors of certain poul
try papers took advantage of confiding sub
scribers. Hunter alleges that these ntate-
mcnts have Injured his reputation and credit
and ho wants $5,000 damages.

electric seal cape at ' $7.60. The error , ot
course , was so apparent that usually an
apology for The Bee was all that vvas neces-
rary. But The Hfo feels that It should do all
In Its power to set the matter right , and
therefore cells this attention to It.
The original copy from Hayden Bros , read
" $27,60" and not $7 60 as printed , as Is evi
denced by the fact that tlio capes , 30x100 ,
were priced at $2260 ; and It would seem out
of proportion to sell a larger one 33x110 for
one-third the price of the smaller size ? . The
error was one for which The Bee alone Is
responsible.

The third monthly conference of the Omaha
Sunday School association was held last evenIng -
Ing at the First Methodist church and was
attended by a large number of superin
tendents and teachers Interested In a dig- )
cutslon oT Chrlt < tmas In the Sunday pchool.
The meeting was opened by a service ot
song , conducted by Jonathan Mellon. Itev.
Thomas Anderson , pastor of the Calvary
Baptist church , followed with a reading ot
the scriptures and a prayer. Rev. S. B.
McCormlck , pastor of the First Presbytdrhn
church , then made a twenty-mlmito talk on
"The Christmas Idea. " He tuld the Christ
mas season wns the one great season of the
yeir , and it vvas the duty of Sunday school
workers to teach their pupils the full sig
nificance of the annual festival. They should
b ? encouraged to think about Chrlstmat < and
their Ideas of It directed in the proper chan
nels. Ho said there wer three most Impor
tant elements about the Christmas Idea.
The first was Joy. It always had been the
uppermost clement In the celebration ot
Christ's birth. Ths second was the Idea of
giving. Every child should have the oppor
tunity of receiving some gift , however small
It might bf , inorder that It mlqht know
something of the Joy of a merry Christmas.
It should al > enjoy the privilege of giving
something to those less fortunate , and there
by expel lence the truth of the divine saying
that It Is more blessed to give than receive.
The third was that Chrlt-lmas meant the gift
of a Savior for the whole world.
Two ten-minute papers on "My Experience
In Christmas Entertainments" were read by
Mrs. T. P. Clomleimlng nnd Miss Margaret
McAra. After the transaction ot a few Items
of business , a half hour was devoted to tli3
answering of questions. ' In the question box.

A number of traveling men who visit
Omaha made tip a good-sired purse Monday
afternoon for the poor German couple that
have been living at the union depot for the
last four weeks. The couple , John Neckcum
and wife , came hero from Bavaria about a
month ago , and were on their way to Mon
ument , Ore. Relatives In that place wcro
to send funds hero to help the old folks
along the route , but after repeated tele
grams had been sent to that place It was
concluded that the relatives did not care to
aid their expected guests. On Sunday
Neckcum's money ran out , nnd ho and his
wife might have fared badly had not the
traveling men como to their relief. The
poor old foreigners have lived In the depot
without blankets and with but little food.
The county commissioners are Investigating
the matter , and will probably secure trans
portation for them ,
