terrpornry chairman , nnd 0. K. Williamson
ot Omaha was chosen temporary secr-tary.
After the chairman had stated the object
cf the meeting , the articles of Incorporation
were read nnd then taken up for discussion.
There was considerable discussion as to
th ? immo of the organization. The question
of allowing the stock to be assessed each
year for the next four years brought forth
a lively discussion , but It was dually de
cided that too many people might be f light
ered away from the scheme by the possl
blllty of future assessments , and that provi
sion was not Inserted In the articles of In
corporation. There was a llttlo trl.ndly ri
valry shuun between the city and the coun
try imlmbsrs regarding places on the board
of directors , but the question was settled
without much illlIlciiHy.

After many postponements the preliminary
htntlng ot Jr omo Coulter was nguln taken
up before Judge Ucrkn yesterday at 2 p. m.
The first wlin ss called to the stand was J.
W. Fead , a clerk In the city treasurer's
omce , who had been employed there i-lncf
January 5 , 1S02. Ho stated that during Je
rome Coulter's period of offlcp ! u had worked
In the accounting department ut thu treas
urer's ofllC5 anil that It hod been hla duty
to cherk up each day the cash book with
all vouchers paid. Ho had 'also usually for
warded tli ( ( balance on th ? cash book left
at night to the alternate book the next
morning. Mr. Fead described many'of the
details used In the sjotem of bookkeeping
employed In the tr asurcr's odlcc und stated
that the system had not been nt fault , but
that the defalcation had bojn tnado posclble
by lack of checking or Inspection of books
used by the treasurer and' his deputy by
proper ofllc'rs.
Taking- the entries of the amounts which
composed the sum stolen , charged In the
first count dated August 3 , 3S93 , for $600 ,
Attorney Day requested Fead to Identify
each balance forwarded. The following cn-
trlts were Identified as having been written
by Coulter nboul the tlmo ot the dates nl-
leged In the Information :
DETAILS OF Tim SHORTAGE.
August 3 , shortage charged , ? 500 ; balances
carried forward by Coi'lttr on August 3 , 7 ,
8 , 9 and 10 ; September 7 , shortage ? 500 ;

7 , S and 9 ; October 7 , shortage JMO ; balances
forwarded by Coulter on 7 and 9 ; Dccjmber
11 , shortage1 , $500 ; bilances forwarded on
11 and 12 ; August 20 , tsDi , BIIUItiut ! , ? 200 ,

and 21st ; Sept mbsr 17 , shortage , J2.000 ;
balance forwarded by Coulter on same date ;
October 9 , shortage , $2,000 ; balances for
warded by Coulter October 0 , 10 , 11 and 12.
There was also another shortage of $3,000
on the llth of October Included In this p -
rlod. November 7 , shortage , $200 ; balances
forwarded by Coulter on November 7 nnd S ;
November 22 , shortage , $2,000 ; balances for
warded by Coulter on November 22 nnd 23 ;
December IS , shortage , $3,000 ; balances for
warded by Coulter on December IS nnd 19 ;
December 21 , shortage , $2,000 ; balances for
warded on the 21st and 22d ; Jan
uary 18 , 1895 , shortage charged , $2,500 ;
balances forwarded on the 18th and lUth by
Coulter. The deputy made the figures In
the next case and Henry Bolln headed ths
page of the day's busln = ss In ths- cash booS1
on the 23d and 21th of January , on which djts
It Is alleged that $2COO was taken from the
city treasury. March 20 , shortage , $1,000 ;
balances forwarded by Coulter on the 2Gth
and 27th ; March 29 , shortage * 500 ; balances
forwarded by Coulter on tUfr 29th and 30th.
Tlis last shortage charged Is May 1C , 1SU5 ,
for $200 , at which time Coulter forwarded
the balances In the cash book on the IGth
and 17th. All of the above amounts repre
sent chp < ; ks drawn on the Merchants United
StPtes , Nebraska , Omaha , National Dankof ,
Commerc' and Union Nntioiwl banks of
Omaha. The checks were made- payable to
cash , or cash for drawer , and In every In
stance were drawn by Coulter signing his
chief's name first and his own bjneath it.
The amounts aggregated $25,400.
Fdad said that ho had never chocked up
the other books In the office , and had only
worked on the cash books. He stated tlfat
but three persons liadIm < l the actual handling
of the cash paid In ovcr-tlio counter and had
entered the Items on the cash book. They
were Coulter , Bolln and Harry-Counsman.
Ho stated that he had sometimes seen
Holln receive cash at the window while-Coul
ter entered tha amount on the book , but
would not swear that it went Into the drawer ,
for the receptacle was beyond his line of
vision. Coulter had always apparently at
tended strictly to business , and also had
Dolln , during his first term , but during the
second term Holln had spent but llttlo time
In the ofllco and seemed otherwise engaged.
During Mr. flolln's term of ofllco Mr
Wcuthrick had had charge of the bank ac
counts nnd liolln and Coulter had held a
consultation each dny to determine which
bank should receive the deposit. Fead had
had nothing to do with the Issuing of the
chocks , and knew little about the manner of
drawing them.
DIFFICULT TO TRACE THE CHECKS.
Mr. Wettllng , one of the experts now workIng -
Ing on the treasurer's books , next took the
stand. He Identified the checks signed by
Coulter on the dates already given , and
said that ho had traced them back on the
stubs of check books , but with the exception
of a check Issued Augdst 9 , 1S93 , for $1,000 ,
ot which $500 had been accounted for , a
check Issued on September 7 , for $5,000 , cf
which $4COO had been accounted for , and an
other Issued October 7 , for $1,000 , of which
$500 had been accounted for , there was ab
solutely no trace whatever of. what had be-
CIMIIO of the subsequent amounts taken.
There also had been a wide disparity of
dates on' the checks and the stubs , but the
amounts In every cnso had agreed.
Mr. WettlliiK said that all checks Issued
by liolln had been traced up and acknowl
edged by him , but those signed by Coulter
yet remained an 'entlro mystery , and there
was absolutely no trace whatever of them
on the books. Mr. AVettllug tald that aa an
expert accountant lie had been called upon
once before to look over the books'kept by
Holln and Coulter at the expiration of their
first term In ofllce.
Tliero had been a shortage In the cash re
ceipts at that time and Wettllng had le none
ono of a party , composed of Messrs. Wise.
Lauor , Drexel and Ilathbun , when a demand
had been mudo on Dolln to explain the de
ficiency. He had made none , and nothing
at the tlmo had been sold In regard to Coul
ter's connection with the defalcation.
Mr. Wettllng stated that the balances each
day forwarded by Coulter were correct , but
that the amounts checked out and charged
to cash could be traced only on the cash
book and Hint no vouchers could be found
for the money expended. The witness fin
ished by saying that all four of the account
ants now at work on the books had gone
over the ledgers in evidence , and that the
figures ns submitted were positively cor
rect.
John Wise , another ono of the experts
no-v employed by the city to unravel the
treasury tangle , was next called , and cor
roborated the statements madct.by Wettllng.
Court then adjourned until 2 p. m. today.

"Charley's Aunt , " vrlth her cat nnd oilier
accessories , opened a short engagement last
night at Hoyd's. The piece has not chan d
since It was presented hero a few wetkB
ago , and the companyla substantially the
same ns then. IJoth .hnvo apparently re
tained their ability ta please , at least to
pleasa that kind of.ceoiilo ( and It Is n very
numerous kind ) , who nro plcaseJ with that
kind of a thing. In view of this fact , nny
references to another kind ot nut , which does
not grow In ttrazll , would be obviously cut
of place , even In contxtlon : with so very
familiar an entertainment.
When th4 popularity ot glee club singing
has so often be-en made the excuse for Inflict
ing some very bad music on a patient public It
Is refreshing to listen to a glee club concert
which lus merit cf Its own nslda from the
drafting qualities of the college program.
Such nn entertainment was given nt St.
Mary's Avenue Congregational church last
night by the Oberlln College Glee club , and the
n.imbcrs were enthusiastically received by an
audlcnco which filled nearly every Mat In the
large auditorium. The colleg ? boys pre
sented n chorus exctp'lioiully well balanced
and which , contrary til the general condition
of slmllir organizations , was incll supplied
with tenors. Their program was well chosen
nnd was singularly free from the selections
which have been so often sung as to be
wearisome- . Nearly c\ery number was en
cored and they were tven obliged to respond
a second time when tlry gave th lr melody
cf barnynrcl : 'mltatlcrs nnd the bull frog
chorus. TJVmolan- popular nnd planta
tion mElo4/s wns'VIso received with de
monstrative approval and tils' s61o numbers
of Mr. Leonard and Mr. Patterson farea
equally well.
The violin solos cf Miss Lottie Dcmtith
were among the features of the entertain
ment. Miss Dcmuth Is only 15 , but In her
solo numbert she * displayed a technique anil
a delicacy of bowing that would have been
prpilltalilo > < > mast > r of the Instrument.
Her flr"tf"elTort was tbi ) adagio , from Q minor
ooncertbxby Uruch , ind In rcspans ? to n
hearty Viicore she played a romanca by
Svenson. Her last mtiubcr was a ballade and
polonaise by Vleuxtemps , which she ren
dered with singular trace anJ finish.
Mr. W. K. Hrccklnriclge furnished the other
Instrumental number as well as the accom
paniments. Ills plan. ) solo , an "Impromptu , "
by Khelnholdns a very showy selection
and received a well hiorlted encore.
The third piano recital'of the- pupils of
Miss Minnie Lovl toil , placent the Unitarian
church In Kountze Mflco last night. A pro
gram ot ten selections was rendered. Some
of the tots who performed showed wonderful
proficiency conslderlnr their age , and gave
a promise of fine resMis in mature years.
"Rondo VIllaReos , " ailuet played by Janet
and Maud Marriott , deWves special m-ntlon ,
as also the pieces rcalered by Miss Maud
Keys and Grace TorlcV and the vocal solo
by Miss Mary Latey. I
The return ctigagenunt of "I'uWnhead
to lils undoubted derorb ; in the part of a
public which honored Uself by knowing n
good thing when It &nw It. Judging- from the
large number of people pvho heard Mr. Mayo
more than cnce last wcwlc , there Is no doubt
that many , even of pose who have been
before , will go again ; ivhllo the music lovers
uho were kept away | y the opera , will find
In this thoroughly delightful performance as
many delicate harmonies as fell upon their
cars under -the magical baton-o'f Walter
Damrosch.
