8 THE OMAHA DAILY JJEE : TJITIKSDAY. F13imUAlr 1 , 1800. FAULT OF THE RAILROADS Live Slock Exchange Places Blame for Discriminating Bates. REPLY FOR THE STOCK YARDS COMPANY ComnilNNloti Men Once More Make Coniiilnlnt of the .Situation In AVIilch the ClmiiKc 111 Hat en 1'tncen Them. Tuesday afternoon a committee appointed by the Live Stock exchange of South Omaha waited upon the management of the Stock Yards company to devise , If possible , porno mean ! ) of reducing the charges on clock ship ments to this market , which at the present tlmo are greater than to Kansas City. Mr. Valentine of Chicago , representing the Ar mour Interests , was present nt the conference. The committee stated what In already known to the public through the columns of The Dee , namely , that the business at the South Omaha stock yards Is declining and that something ought to be done to stay the tide. "We have done all In our power to In fluence the railroads to absorb the switching charged made by the stock yards company , " mid the spokesman of the committee , "but without avail. The railroad people say that they bring the stock to South Omaha to their own Inconvenience nnd that If the Block yards company eccs fit to charge for fiwltching lliR can uround lo the yards they nrc justifiable In adding such charges to the freight bills , thus making the country shipper pay It , On Friday last two members of this committee called upon all the general mali ngers of the roads In Omaha and gained from them a promise to meet us for n further discussion of the matter on Monday after noon. We went as ngrcpd to Mr. Holdreso's ofllco , but Mr. Dickinson of the Union Pacific did not keep bis appointment and so nothing was accomplished. Ever slnco the first uf the year we have been trying to come to Rome agreement with the railroads , but the matter Is delayed on ono pretext or another and In the meantime South Omaha Is loblng her live stock business. In view of the urgency of' ' the case wo want the stock yards company to reduce Its charge for switching from J2.GO to $1 , on through fctock and the charge on local shipments from $1.50 to $1 , which wo believe to be a reasonable charge and ono thai Ihe railroads | g would be willing to pay rather than do their own switching. " The representative of the stock yards company were considerably surprised at this proposition , and while they did not say they would not do It they would not agree to maka the reduction. Mr. Valentino said that there was a good deal more In It than the committee realized , and that New Yorker or Chicago might have something to say , and that principles of deep Import wcro In volved , his words giving the committee the impression that the matter was too great for them to comprehend. The different membera of the commltlco. urged the necessity of doing something to place Omaha on an equality with other markets and of doing It at once , but nothing was accomplished. A member of the committee said to n re porter yesterday that the real Inside of the whole subject Is this , to use liln own words : "The stock yards company has a contioct with the roads to do the switching for certain specified charges. Up to tha first of the year the railroad companies paid this money out of their own funds , but since thot , date they have been charging It up to the' shipper. Now the stock yards com pany claims that Its contract has been broken by tlio roads and that the railroad companies Hhould come to them for a settlement. On the other hand , the railroads reply that there U noth ing-In their coijtpct speclfylng.as to whether or not Iho cost of switching should' bo charged , jup to the shipper and that they have no complaints to make , and no reason for chasing after the stock yards company. Thin Is the attitude of the two parties to the controversy , while * we , the commission men , who have upent hundreds of thousands of dollars lars to advertise and build up this market , BOO our work undone , our shippers driven to other markets by what they consider an , unjust charge , and are powerless to prevent" i It. Our committee said to the stock yards . company , 'Tho railroads have got you whipped , you nro badly hurt and are on the run. Now , then , you might Just as well odmlt the truth and surrender now before the llvo stock business of South Omaha suffers any further Injury.1 " Every man , woman nnd child who has rnro tried that specific , Dr. null's Cough Syrup , cannot say enough In Its praise.

At the opening of court In the criminal branch yesterday Alfred C. Grlflln was brought before the court for sentence. Grlf- fln was tried and convicted at the May term of court , 1892 , of forging nnd counterfeiting n promissory note. Ho was owing a large amount to certain parties nnd turned over , ns part payment , n note signed by parties who exited only In his own Imagination. There were two counts In the charge , ono for forgery and the other for counterfeiting the note , and ho was given the minimum sentence under the law en account of n recom mendation of the jury , the sentence being one year on each count. The case was taken to the supreme court , which body held that the court erred In sentencing on two counts , as there should liavo been but one , and the case was sent back. After looking over the records and hearing the statement of the defendant's attorney Judge Baker sentenced Grlffln to ono year at hard labor In the penitentiary.

Stationary EiiKliieers Auk Ills Ite- ninviil II.H Holler Inspector. Proceedings In quo wnrranto have been commenced In the district court to oust Charlcu Unlit from the position of boiler Inspector specter of the city of Omaha. James Ander son , a member of the National Association of Stationary Engineers , on behalf of himself and 200 others , citizens and members of the same association , petitions the court to declare Unltt disqualified to hold the position of boiler Inspector. He sets forth in his peti tion , that the city charter requires that the boiler Inspector must bo a practical me chanical steam engineer , or a practical boiler maker and must have had , during the two years Immediately preceding his appoint ment , a license as a steam engineer of the highest grade. The petition further alleges that Mayor Droatch was. notified ! by the association , pre vious to the nppolntment of Unltt , that ho was not a proper person , within the meanIng - Ing of the city charter , to hold the ofllce In question , and had no license as required by the charter. It Is charged that Unltt ID wholly Incom petent , and that Mayor Broatch has acted in violation of law In appointing Unitt when he well knew that he was not qualified to hold the position. It ia asserted that the laws regulating the Inspection of steam-fbc-llersi were pawed for the protection of the lives of citizens and a violation ! of the law is a monaco to the safety of persons who are dally brought In contact with steam boilers In largo buildings. It Is also alleged that the bond given by Unltt Is practically woith- leaj , as the sureties have not qualified , and are not worth the amount for which they are sureties. The court Is asked to declare Unltt not en titled to hold the ofilce and to declare the nfflnA vflrnnt. MIIS. COIINUS IIAU HEIl WOES. AHku the Court to Separate Her from Her IIiiHbaiul. Mrs. Jennie R. Comes has applied to the courts for a divorce from John H. Comes , setting up cruelty and refusal to support as the grounds. In her petition Mrs. Comes Informs the court that phe was mir- rled to Cornos at Ottumwa , la. , July 8 , 1S75 , and three children , all girls , are the result of their union. rihe alb : taya tui Cornos Is the possessor of an ungovernable temper and In domlnc3rlng and Is abusive. For years , so she Informs the court , he has compelled her to earn her own living and has refused to provide his family with the ne cessities of Ufa , though abundantly able to do so. August 27 , last year , she states ho drove her from the house and refused to al low her to return. Ho used abusive , pro fane and scurrilous language toward the pjalntlff and on one occasion choked and struck her. Ho frequently amused himself , according to the petition. In kicking the children and otherwlso abusing them , and on one occasion kicked ono of them across the room , inflicting great bodily Injury , nnd at another time he kicked ono of the chil dren down stairs In n fit of fury. The court Is asked to grant a divorce nnd reasonable alimony and to give the plnlntlff the custody of the minor children.

The whole mat tcrtns referred to -Judiciary committee nnd It Is doubtful If any -of the conncllmoi knew what It meant. The subject matter of this communication , however , Is o peculiar Interest nt this time , In view of the situation In the local labor Held and the dispute between the tioanl of Public Works and the representatives of organized labor. The proposition was contained In ft letter from John Grant and a blank agrecmen submitted by Grant , embodying a plan to sweeping the paved streets of Omaha by moans of sweeping machines. i Grant proposes , as set forth In the agree mcnt referred to , to lease to the city two sweeping machines one n "scvcn-horso power street cljnner , " operated by a gasoline motor , and the other a "gutter cleaner , ' operated by means of horses. Doth ma chines are manufactured by the "Cyclone Street Cleaner company of Omaha. " Tli consideration asked Is $120 per year fo five years and n royalty of )2 per mile on each mlle swept , payable monthly , upon estimates of the city engineer , It Is represented that the seven-horse pouor machine Is a eilf-loadlng machine am Is to be used to pick up the dirt after It ha been placed In wlnrowo three or four fee from the curb. The gutter cleaner Is to b ti.spil for sweeping the accumulated dirt fron the gutter toward the center of the strce and three or four feet from the curb. No provision la made In the agreement , as oub mittcd , for sweeping the center of the street It la also provided that the city Is to sweep at lea t-t 1,000 miles of street each year and It to furnish and pay the necessary numbar o competent men to operate the machines. 1 It becomes necessary to use two of the pelf loading machines the contractor agrees to furnish an extra machine without extra charge , except for the cost of repairs. This agreement was sent to the city coun ell In accordance with the following resolu tlon adopted by the board Tuesday after noon : "Resolved , That the communication and agreement received from John Grant , In re gard to street cleaning , bo referroJ to the city council for HP determination and ap proval , with the board's recommendation that the same bo accepted ; or that the board be allowed to purchase there or come other street sweepers , as It Is too primitive a method to continue street cleaning solely by hand labor. " This resolution was signed by Messrs. Kas- par and Wlnspear. Jlr. AVInspcar * stated yesterday that ho waa most decidedly of the opinion that the proposition of Grant should bo accepted ; the method of cleaning streets entirely by hand ho paid , had long ago been discarded by other cities , and he thought the work coulc be done cheaper , and certainly much better by using both machines and hand libor. His plan , ho said , would be to retain about fif teen or twenty of the members of the blue barrel brigade toork In the business dis tricts during the daytime and have the ma chines go over all the 'paved streets In the city during the -nights. He was asked If the machines which It was proposed to use were those In which he was known to be Inter ested , to which ho replied In the negative , saying they wcro other machines. An examination ofithe corporation records In the offlce of the county clerk showed that the "Cyclone Street Cleaner company" was Incorporated Juno 25 , 1895 , the corporators being James H. Wlnspear , Fred II. Smith and Samuel G. SanBom , and the place of business being Omaha. You need not bo afraid of the twinge of rheumatism when you have Salvation Oil.

Another skirmish has been reported In the continuous warfare which Is being waged Indiscriminately among the residents of the north bottoms. It lias resulted , ns usual. In the calling In of the strong arm of the law to quiet the warring elements. The warrant this time Issued for the arrest of Mrs. Tom Lawless , who , It Is stated author itatively , Is the only ono -of the residents" who has not been previously arrested. The complainant Is Mrs. N. Hodges , who lives at Tenth and Paul streets. She has nn attractive daughter , whoso only disad vantage Is a husband. Mm Lawless Is a closa neighbor of Mrs. Hodges. She has n son. Tbls son has developed an afftctlon for the married daughter of Mrs. Hodges and over this the trouble started. "I will have no man tagging after my mar ried daughter , " was the ultimatum of Mrs. Hodges , and the scion of the Lawless family was very ejnphatlcally bnrred from the Hodges castle. When the ton reported this to Mrs. Lawless she looked upon It as a slur upon the Lawless honor and escutcheon. She gathered herself together and planteJ herself before the residence of Mrs. Hodges and there delivered herself of some plain statements in tonea tlmt all the world might hear. "She didn't only disturb my peace , " says Mrs. Hedges , "but sh disturbed the peace of all the neighbors. Mrs. John Brown lives n block away , but she was so disturbed that for three hours she was all in a tremble anil liad to go to bed.
