CITY ATTORNEY THOUGHT CITY LIABLE I'rcvlou * Action lli * < ! OMHli1orril nml thu Contract ivlth the Acme Com pany for OiiNuIlin- IN Amirovuil. The city council met last evening with the expectation of completing Its business pieparatory to turning the administration over to the now council. Dut the experts were not ready with tliclr1 dual report on the trwEiiry defalcation , and the printing committee had not succeeded In llgurlng a way out ol Its dilemma on the bids on city advertising , so a iccess was taken until Mon-Jay night. , The members Improved the occasion , how ever , by providing for the1 payment of the isalary of Meat Inspector Frank for the jiorloil during which ho was suspended for all geil Irregularities In connection with the dog killing bills. The bill for Frank's porvlces , amounting to $260 , lud boon eub- inltud at n previous mretlng and referred to the city attorney for Ms opinion as to the liability of the city. Mr. Council returned the document last night with the follow ing : I herewith return a copy of the report of the committee on llniinco , No. 50 , relating to thu bill of Israel Frank as meat Inspector , together with the papers * attached thereto , which were referred to me to report us to tho- legal liability of thu city for the pay ment of the Biliary of Mr. Frank ilurlnir hla suspension from duty from October 1 , lt$5. to December 18. 1W3. I do not usMitno to PUBS upon the guilt or Innocence of Mr. Frank of charges mmlo ntrnlnst him. Ac cording to the li'coid the Jury returned n verdict of not KUlIty by the direction of the court , for the reason that the evidence falloil to rhow that the defendant wax legally directed as to hU duties an required by the oidliiuncn of tlin city , and by reason of u variance but ween the testimony and the allegations In the Information. If , UK n matter of fact , Mr. Frank \vas guilty of u neglect of duty. I consider that the Hoard of Health wouM bo authorized and justified In suspending him , and that ns u mutter of law ho could not recover pay for the tlmo covered by tlio suspension , oven though the suspension may have been Ir regular. . under Ibo ordinances of the city the meat Inspector Is subject to removal at uny time liy the Hotud of Health , with approval of the mayor and council , Had Mr. Frank been removed or suspended In accordance \vlth the provision of the ordinance to Which refeienco is made , I consider that lie could not legally recover hla pay for the time referred to , without reference to whether ho was found guilty or not guilty of charges made agulnst him. Upon In vestigating the records I Hiul that the tus- pentilon of Mr. Frank was not inude with the approval of the mayor and council. I 5rt also nnd that for his services as meat Inspector specter during the time In controversy a bill lias been regularly approved by the Hoard of Health , nnd that by a resolution of the Hoard of Health he wns reinstated , I conclude , therefore , that unless , as a matter of fact. Independent of the record nnd proceedings referred to , Mr. Frank IrtiB neglected his duties ns meat Inspector , the city would bo legally liable for the amount of the bill , which has been approved by the Hoard of Health. The bill was then referred to the finance committee , which promptly returned It with a recommendation that It be engrafted Into the pending appropriation ordinance. The report portwns declared adopted without a vote and later In the evening the ordinance was passsd.

In explaining their votes the minority contended that the bill was rendered for services that no ono could claim had ever br-sn performed. The majority made no claim that Mr. Frank was entitled to his pay , but simply stated that they had voted for the bill on the assurance of the city attorney that the city was legally liable for the amount. . A special committee , consisting of Sounders , Prince and Lemly , was appointed to In duct the newly elected city officials Into ofllce. The action of the previous meeting by which the council refused to approve the contract \\ltli the Acme Lighting company for gasoline lamps during the next two years was reconsidered and the contract was ap proved.

KAHMI.VSKI STIlTl , IN TIIOU1ILE. I.eavoN Oiiialm to IniMir Wrath lit Connecticut. Father Thomas Karmlnskl. who became notorious In Omaha during the troubles of the Pplleh Catholic church at Sheeley , who shot a man In the leg during a riot In the cl-urch , and who was finally countercharged with setting lira to the building , has turned up nt New Britain , Conn. , and ia In trouble with a bishop there. A dispatch states that at the dedication of St. Andrew's Lithuan ian Catholic church , Bishop Tlerney of the Hartford diocese roundly rebuked a congre gation of Poles who had formed St. Cassl- tnlr's church , under th ? pastorate of Father Karmlnskl , who went there six month's ago nnd succteded in drawing away a largo .por tion of St. Andrew's congregation. Bishop Tlerney Is reported as Baying he U a fraud , and that Instead of being a priest Is "a quack doctor from Omaha. " His pur pose. It is said , was to get hold of thj church funds. Karmlnskl fled two weeks ago , hav ing received word that the bishop Eald h& was a fraud , Meeting of Hoard of Health. The last meeting of the present Hoard of Health was held yesterday afternoon. The November bill of the gatbnge contractor for collecting dead animals was Hchcdulecl for investigation at the Instance of the city council , by which It had bfen rejected ns excessive. Any further discussion of the mat ter was cut nhort , however , by a motion to again refer the bill to the council , which wns carried. The leport of the registrar of vital sta tistics indicated that there were elghty- llvo deaths In Omaha during December. Forty-five were males and forty females. There 'were 131 ! blrlhu the same period , flxty-three being males and slxty-nlno fe males.

It was expected that yesterday afternoon something definite would be arrived at be tween The Bee and the World Herald In the dispute about circulation with refer ence to license protest cas3s. Several days ago It was agreed that Mr. Masters for The Dec- and Mr. Dox for the World-Herald should together go over the county sub scription books of both papers and make a joint report that should be considered as final by all parties. This report was ex pected yesterday , but It did not come. They went over the books together , but at the last the World-Herald showed no disposition to sign a Joint report or even to make known the footings of Mr. Dox , and so there was a statement from each man yesterday. Mr. Matters , acting In good faith , presented a report In accordance with lL ° "Kreament. showing not only that The Evening ) ; has a larger circulation than The Evening World-Herald , but that the combined circulation of morning and evening papers Is larger than that of the World-Herald. Mr. Dox appears to have handled the * books ! ? 1 w.ny to sult "I'nwlf ' , and especially The uee s books. It was found that the footings fairly made wera In favor of The lite , and then as It appeared that the news stand circulation was much larger than that of \\orld-Hcrnld , Dox decided to Ignore both. Ho then deollned to give The Dee credit for the number of subscriber * as shown by Its bookkeepers , and In another effort to pull his paper up , qulto arbitrarily set his counter and news stand circulation down at G50 , anJ then made It seem that his paptr wns about 100 ahead. Mr. Masters was first culled to the stand. The footings wers for December 28. Mr. MnMoro' repcrt showed the circulation of The Evening Bee In Douglas county to be : By carrier , 0,322 ; mall , 109 ; counter tvxleu , 152 ; stre-t saley , 101 ; total , 0.744. Of The Morning Bos ( The Omaha Dally Bee ) , total , 1,460 ; making a grand total for morn ing and evening paper.j of 8,204. His report showed the circulation of the evening Worli-Hcrald to bo : By carrier , 5,203 ; mall , 113 ; counter and street Bale ? , 400 ; total , 5,710. Of The Morning World- Herald , total 2,308 ; making a grand total fur morning and evening papers of 8,024. Mr. Mastoro said that the- papers delivered to railroad news agents were not counted on The Heo's books examined for the' ' purpose In hand , and he had not included railroad papers In the total of The World-Herald , be- cauyj these papers did not circulate In the county , some of them even going tx > far its the Pacific coast. Ho said that in examining 4ho World-Herald's books It waa plain that the lists of Bithscrlbeta'for the morning and evening papers were different , not more than r. do ea people taking both the papers. Ilespnding to a questlor. by Mr. Hall , the witness said that from th ? first World-Herald total he deducted 320 railroad papers. Papers delivered to city nsws stands were , he said , by agretment between him and Mr. Dox of ths World-Herald , included In carrier de livery computations. .He tald that some county news deakrs took papers by sub scription , and others took returnable papers , being charged only for those told. Dwlght Williams of The Bee's circulating department , testified that the' approximate number of papro going dally to news dealers was 375. DOX SOLVES THE DIFFICULTY. Mr. Dox , . for the World-Herald , said that according to his figures * the circulation of The Evening" Bee was .6.G37JV1 Morning Bee , 1,104 ; total , 7,701.Hs said this did not Include the papers delivered to news stands and railroad agents. , > . He slid the dally circulation of-the MornIng - Ing and Evening World-Herald combined was 7,807. Questioned by Mr. Slmeral , Dox said he could not possibly tell how many sub scribers there were for the Morning World- Herald or the Evening World-Herald , because - cause they were not separately designated on the books. Ho admitted that ho could not even make an approximate estimate. Masters here stated ithat he had taken Dox's word for the separate figures on sub scriptions that ho had given for the World- Herald , and Dox was then asked to testify on this point from his best knowledge. Hall objected and the board sustained the objection. Dox said that ho had deducted 271 on ac count of news stands for the World-Herald , and 387 for The Bee. He had not Included railroad papers. It thus appears that Dox's figures on the total circulation of The Bee were COS IcOi than Masters' ; total circulation of the World-Herald , 217 less ; Evening Bee. circula tion , 207 less ; Morning Bee circulation , 20C less , while he made the total circulation of the World-Herald 100 more than that of The Bee. An attempt was tnen made to show by Dox how he had knocked The Bee's figures down when both ho and Masters com puted from the eame books. The refusal on the part of the World-Herald to Include In the counts the papers delivered to news stands did not explain It all , but this was first asked about. Dox said he did not put this In becaiiEo thera was no way of keepIng - Ing check on the number of papers sold at the Elands and that here was a chance for any paper to swell Its circulation. Then It ap peared that Dox saw several names on The Dee's books that ho thought ought not to be there , and eo ho did not count them , Ho knocked twenty-nlno off on this account. Ho said ho did so because they appeared to be those which had been marked discon tinued and then renewpd when It was evi dent the old bills had not besn paid. Dox was asked to go Into the matter in detail and lott his temper a number of times be fore h ? loft the stand. He was given ono route book In which ho had refused to count ten names and asked to point them out. Ho fount ) four , all of bona fide sub scribers , and then plainly admitted that It would bo absolutely Impossible for him to designate the other six. It was the same way with n number of the other books. Besides this theWorldHerald found it very convenient to lump Its counter and street sales , stating the number * to bo an average of G50. Dox Bald that out of this pile the employes were eerved , a number of advertisers supplied , the office sales made and the newsboys supplied. At 5:30 : the board adjourned to 7:30 p. m. MR. HITCHCOCKtON THE STAND. When the examination was continued last night at 7:30 : o'clock , Editor-Manager Hitchcock of the WoCM-Herald was called to the stand. Ho wamabjced by his attorney how the World-Herald , dnd Its editions were made up. Ho answered that one > company owned the Dally Warld-Hcrald , that the same editorial force rum all Its editions , and that the matter in nil1-the editions Is Identi cally the same. Mr. Hitchcock produced some papers to support ) tills statement , which were Introduced In unite of an objection , which was overruled , , Mr. Hitchcock went on to say that the advertising appeared in all the editions except op special occasions , and that only ono forco'was In the counting " " * room" "Tho morning edltlomls called the Morn ing World-Herald , " raraarhed Mr. Hitch cock , "for convenience and for brevity's sake , and the evening edition the Evening World-Herald , for the name reason , " On cross-examination it was shown by Mr. Hitchcock that the Weekly World.Herald might bo considered an edition of the Dally World-Herald , because much of the same matter appeared in both and because- the articles In both were written mainly by the aamo writers. In the same way it was shown that the Sunday edition might bo looked upon as an edition of the dally , al though Hitchcock denied that Die weekly and Sunday editions were parts of the Dally World-Herald , Ha alto Mated that despite the fact that tbo Sunday World-Herald wai not a part of the Dally World-Herald , yet the subscribers to the morning and evening editions of the dally got the Sunday paper. Legal advertising , he eald , also appeared In only one edition. Despite the fact , too , that Mr , Hitchcock had previously Raid that the same matter appeared In ell the editions of the Dally World-Herald , a.a an tvldenQo thai both editions comprised the dally , ho testified on cross-examination thn nomctlmes nn article appeared In the evenIng - Ing And not In the morning , and vice vera It took considerable questioning to Kit this admission outi of the witness. Ho worked hlms'lf up Into convulsive spasms of laughter In pretended Inability to understand the questions , but the admissions were finally dragged out of him , Manager FtII of The Hei was recalled to tlir stand and testified that with the deduc tion of the news stand circulation The liven ing Bee- had G.G05 subscribers , nnd the Evening World-Herald 5,034. F1CJURES DOCTOHK1) IIV DOX. Circulator Masters of The Dee tcstlfi d that he had heard the testimony given by Circulator Dox cf Wie World-Herald , In which he had Introduced a report which pur ported , to contain the correct circulation ol the two papers In th > city n3 found on nn examination of the books by the two circu lators. Mr. Masters said that this report showed a discrepancy when compared with thfr report ho had , ami which he had com pared with Dox's when the examination WHS complct d. He Was asked to show the discrepancy , and ho went over the detailed figures cf his report. It developed that Dox had added a considerable number to the circulation of his paper and had deer n : i' The Bee's , II appearing that he had not taken all his news stand talcs out , while h had taken out of The Dec's cltculntlon mon than Its news stand circulation. Mr. Masters also said that In the Wcrld- Herald's circulation was < Included 650 counter papers. Mr. Hltchccck told him during the examination that this number of papers \viu dally placed en the counter and none wore returned , although no account has been kept so far as could bo discovered. Out of this number only fifteen or twenty were given to regular subscribers , the rest being taken by newsboys and transient customers. Assistant Clroulator Williams testified that on an average the news stand sales of the World-Herald were abcut half as large as thcso of The Bee , as shown by the reclpt of the news dealers. Mr. Hitchcock thought he had scored n point when he returned to tha ptand and In troduced a check flip purporting to show the number of papirs taken out by the carriers of The lies on the evening of August 10. He claimed ho cbtalnodl the paper from a Bee employe. This showed the evening city cir culation to b ? 5,332. This point wns knocked sky high by Assistant Circulator Williams , who was recalled to the stand. Ho swore that durlnir the month of Atmust he dls trlbutcd the papers to the carriers. The rflp contained a number of mistakes. For In- otance , carrier No. 1 was charged with sixty papers , wherns he never took cut lens than 150. Carrier No. 3 was credited with sixty- two , and he never took out less than 150. A number cf similar mistakes were found , and the number of papers taken by the South Omaha carriers did not appear at all. Manager Fjll gave the finishing touch when he was recalled nnd swore that on the evenIng - Ing of August 10 , 0,108 papers were taken out by carriers. After that no further attempt was made by Mr. Hitchcock or hia attorney to make uss of the slip. At this point both sides announced that all their testimony had been Introduced , and the beard adjourned to 10 o'clock this morn- Ing. The circulators of both papers were In structed to bring their carriers' books before the board at that time. A Xt-w Firm. OMAHA. Jan. 2 , 1606.

FIU2E SII.VKIl MEN MAKE APPEAL. Common People Ure < l ( n Rally to tin * White Meiiil'N Relief. An appeal has been Issued by the Nebraska Nonpartlsan Free Silver league as fallows : To the BlmetaUlsts of Nebraska : We , the undersigned members of the executive com mltteo of the Nebraska Silver league , have been directed to enroll In ono organization , so far as possible , nil of the believers In bimetallism at 16 to 1. This Is not a new party , but an association of the friends of free silver , regardless of party nlllllatlon. for the purpose of bringing the money ques tion clearly before the voters of the state. Gold standaid advocates are already organ ized for the purpose of propagating the gold standard Idea. We cannot hope to make a successful resistance to them un less there IE some channel through which literature upon the hubject may bo con veyed directly to the voters , and there Is no reason why differences of opinion upon other political Issues fchould prevent co operation In educational work among- the ° e who believe In the restoration of the pold nnd silver coinage of the constitution. The unconditional repeal of the Sherman law. the veto of the eelgnlorage bill , the refusal of the Treasury department to coin the sliver bullion now on hand , the repeated attempts to retire the greenbacks and treas ury notes In the Interest of a national bank currency , the Issue of Interest bearing bonds In general nnd the execution of the Hothschllds contract In particular all parts of one comprehensive scheme to fasten the monometallic system upon the people of the United States nnd make gold the only legal tender money have made it certain that the money question will , for the tlmo being , nt least , bo ono of the most prom inent Issues before the people. The election of 1SOG may determine whether this nation will return to the bimetallic principle or place Itself In the absolute control of the money changers. Bimetallism means a re turn of prosperity to the producers of wealth a prosperity which will roach and benefit all classes of society ; the gold standard means nn Indefinite extension of the present financial depression , with en forced Idleness among the laboring clashes nnd gross Injustice to all debtors. Wo have no fund with which to employ organizers , and must appeal to the common people to make the silver cause the only contribution within their power , namely , friendly In terest nnd a helpinghand. . This Is not a secret organization , but an open warfare In opposition to the financial policy which Mr. Carlisle once called "nn International con spiracy against the welfare of mankind. " and which Mr. Blalno once declared would provo "distressing to millions nnd utterly disastrous to tens of thousands. " Wo shall as rapidly as possible appoint county committees , and these county com mittees will In turn organize precinct clubs. Wo are very much gratified nt the hearty support already given to this league , and wo confidently rely upon the masses of the pecple of Nebraska , republicans , populists , democrats and prohibitionists a'lko , to aid this movement , which has for Its purpose the defense of their rights nnd Interests.

He I3\i > InliiH llln 1'onltloii UN Senator nnd Attorney. Referring to n published notice of his pearance- recently In the Unltul States supreme court In a case In which the Union Pacific was a party. Senator John M. Thurs- 011 says : "I have resigned os general solicitor for ho receivers of the Union Pacific systun and reformed my old partnership with Mr. R. S. Hall of Omaha , under the firm name of Thurston & Hall. So far as my tlmo Is not occupied In congress , I propose to devote nyself to the practice of my proftsslon. I iave no private fortune ; I have never en gaged In speculation , and never Intend to ; have no business , astdo from the practice of law. Th ? congress of the United States vlll probably not bo In session more than mlf of , each year on an average. During the lalance of the year I cannot afford to be die , and do not expect to be. I liopo that ny firm will secure a good law practice In sbraska ; I further hope that I may obtain a reasonable practice In the supreme court of the United States. I know of no reason vhy I ehould not , as did Senators Edmunds , Carpenter , Thurman and almost all the able awyers In the senate argue cas s before the ilghtst judicial tribunal. I shall , of course , ake no case In that or any other court vhtch will in any manner interfere with the iillest performance of my public duties In ho snato of the United States , nor shall accept service- from any client whose affairs are likely to be subject of legislation In orgress. "Now , as to the Union Pacific situation : On the 13th day of October , 1S93 , the Union 'aclfic company became Insolvent and pass-ed nto the hands of flv ? receivers appolnto.l by he circuit court of the United States , throe of whom were selected by the president and attorney general for the express purpos ? of protecting the Interests of the United States n the property. On that date I coated to be attorney for the Union Pacific Railway company or any other railway company , an3 under a new appointment I accepted the p6- o'.tlon ' of general ssllcltor for these receivers ; ilnco that date I have not been th ? attorney or any railroad company In any care. Ono nonth ago I resigned as general solicitor for hcso companies , not becausa of any real or apparent Inconsistency or Impropriety In re- alnlng professional relations with them , not- vlthEtandlng my entry upon service In the enate. but because , and solely bacause , their egal affairs were of a character to require he undivided attention of whosver might iave them In charge. Under the order of court appointing the said receivers , they were required to take charge of and prosecute o final decision all cases which were then pending against the Union Pacific company. At the time of my resignation aa gsneral PO- Icltor certain of those cases were pending n the supreme court of the United States , and the receivers unanimously requested my assistance In the presentation and argument of those cases on account of my familiarity vlth thorn , and because I had argued them n , the courts from which they had bsn ap pealed.

No dramatic representation over got a heartier welcome In Omaha than "Pudd'n- head Wilson" received last night at the Crelghton theater at the hands of Us frlcnda both those who had not half enough o It last week and were delighted with the- chance td come again , and those others who saw the play for the first time , but whom ! It carried away captlvo at once , as Its custom Is. For an Omaha nudlcnco to applaud spontaneously a clever demonstration of the actor's art to bestow Its commendation upon the way of doing or saying a thing as dis tinguished from the thing Itself said or clone Is so rare nn occurrence as to dtscrvo to mark the night of Its happening with red letter. Hero In this " a play was no "ut tering of platitudes In stained glass attl- ludet' , " no beating of the breast and declaim ing of the ten commandments , no heroics ; all things decent , quiet and in order. Yet the .exquisitely natural performance of the actors won them more of those grateful attentions named curtain calls than they would have gathered In by any amount pf loud talk ; ind the action of the play was fraquently Interrupted by acclamations Inyhlch the parquet took as hearty If not so Wstcrous a part as that borne by the galleries. Of the Individual efforty of the players , from Mr. Mayo to the nameless gentlemen of the Jury , 'It is well-nigh Impossible to speak In temperate phrases that will yet sufficiently commend. Certainly with the short time and limited spaceat one's dis posal , not even an attempt at full justice : o the subject can be made. At a tlmo not lee far distant , when other repetitions shall have stamped the delicate points of the work more clearly upon the mind , It will be a sincere pleasure to set down moro at ength one'r. Impressions. In the- meantime , 10 amount of reflection Is likely to alter one's conviction that "Pudd'nhead Wilson , " as played by Mr. Mayo and the others , Is one of the finest , trued and most beautifully rounded entertainments ever presented upon the local stage. That It Is receiving such largo pataronago Is distinctly n credit to Omaha theater goers. Slnca the earlier rep resentations of the piece hero a slight changa has been made In the"business" of Tom anil Hoxy at the end of the scond act , which , In taking away a touch of melodrama < ( 'ulto Incongruous , has appreciably strengthened the performance.
