PETITION OF THE ROCK ISLAND COMPANY Hint ( lip Attorney Srcnrcil Ap point men t ( Inlj- for the Puriioiie of llrliiKltm Suit tor Sttrrct'N Duntli. A proceeding that Is entirely out of the ordinary has been commenced In the county court , being a move on the part of the Hock Island Hallway company to ret aside the ap pointment of an administrator. The proceed- IriK Is , ( n a way , an aftermath growing out of the burning of the Hock Island's bridge near Lincoln , In August , ISO * . In June , 1895 , about one year after the burning of the bridge and the wreck of a parcongcr train on account of the destruction of the bridge , a petition was filed In the county court of Douglas county , asking that fieri S. Adam * , a South Omaha attorney , bo appointed administrator of the estate of Calvin Streets , a colored man , who wao alleged to have been killed In the wreck referred to. It was represented In the peti tion asking for Adams' appointment that Streets died possessed of an estate valued at $5 and Adams was appointed by the court In accordance with the prayer of the petition. In the fallowing October , about four months after his appointment , Adams , as adminis trator , brought suit against the Hock Inland company for 15,000 damages for the killing of Streets , It being set forth In the petition that Streets had left a widow and six minor children. In the application filed yesterday by the Hock Island company It Is represented to the court that the appointment was secured by Adams for the sole purpose of bringing the null against the railroad company and not for the purpose of administering the estate of Streets. The petitioners allege that they have made a full Investigation Into the merits cf the case and have found that Streets had no estate whatever In Douglas county ; that he was never a icitdcnt of tve state of Nebra ka , nor of the county of Dauglao ; that he was a resident of the state of Iowa and had no debts and no creditors In the state of Nc- l-rasko. The allegation In the petition for appointment as administrator that Streets hid property of the value of $5 Is denied by the railroad company and the claim that Streets was a passenger on the tra'n Is ques tion or was killed in the wreck Is not ad mitted , every statement regarding the death of Strcts being qualified by the clause , "II he Is dead. " It Is further alleged that the suit brought against the railroad .company d'.d not con stitute an estate , but was a claim or da- mand belonging solely to the widow or next of kin. It Is charged that Adams Imposed upon the court and that the court had no authority or power to appoint him as ad- mlnlstrntor , his appointment , consequently , being null an ! void. It Is therefore apked that' the appointment bo set aside. The case Is set for hearing on the applica tion March 1G at 10 a. m. SUIXG , FOIl TIE I\SUHAXCE. Mr * . SeliultE A kx ( he Coiuuaiilcx to Settle. A suit growing out of the'flro In the Wlth- nell block In March , last year , has been commenced In the district court. Mrs. Haitle Schultz , who Informs the court that she was the owner of the fur store In which the fire occurred , has sued the Now Hampshire Fire Inturalico company for $1,000 , the full amount of a policy carried by that company on the stock claimed to have been In the store. The petition states that the policy was written March 12 , 1895 , and that four days later the stock was destroyed by fire. It Is alleged that the company has refused to pay the claim and suit Is brought to compel It to do so. It Is also stated In the petition that the stcck was Insured for $4,100 , ? 2GOO of thin amount being In other companies. Shortly after the flro referred to In the petition the husband ct the plaintiff , to gether with another man , were arrjsted and tried In the police court on the charge of arson , the chief cf the fire department rnd members of the detective force testifying to the finding of strong evidences of Incendiary origin of the fire. The accuswd we-re ac quitted , however , the evidence connecting them with the fire not being sufficient to warrant binding them over to the district court. Minor MntterH In Court. Charles Alexander , who Is charged with stabbing with Intent to kill Albert Graff , De cember 31 , was acquitted by the Jury which heard the evidence , and was discharged. The case against "Plunk" Henderson , the colored man charged wth | maiming John Qresn by knocking out his eye , was taken from the jury when the evidence for the prosecution had been presented , and a ver dict of not guilty entered , the prisoner being [ Uncharged. The court ruled that the cvl- dcnco presented was not sufficient to make a care.

"Yes , I notice Mr. Poppleton's settlement of the canal question 'forever' under the decision of the supreme court , " Bald Dr. George L. Miller yesterday. "Mr. Popple- ton Is mistaken. Efforts for the Platte river canal and power have but Just begun. I speak advisedly. Mr. Poppleton does not know , I presume , that a man who owns a million In Omaha property and $1,200,000 In cash loans on Omaha property owned by other people , and who has a large Invest ment In the Niagara Power Company , has asked for the appointment of an Omaha committee to follow up the Platte canal Intetests , without caring a snap for the decisions of courts , or even knowing any thing about them. This man , who Is as well known In the higher financial walks cf the east as he Is here , has recently said to one of the foremost men of Omaha that , In ho ! Judgment , this Platte canal and power Is of more Importance to Omaha than all things else united , and that If the Niagara company Is successful , as everybody knows It will be. In giving power , heat and light to the city of Huffalo over a distance of twenty miles on June 1 , 1897 , according to Its contract with that city , Mr. Poppleton willbo perfectly certain to heir much more about this enterprise than he has heard be- iforc. A great river , 200 ' fee higher than JUe suburbs of Omaha , lies' Just to the west of uo , and cannot be decided out of existence by technical Judicial performances such aa have been lately witnessed In both'our dis trict and supreme dourt. "Uy the way , I received a note from Gov ernor Flower a few days ago In which he stated his belief that this Niagara Power company 'could make money' and deliver power In Huffalo over a distance of more ttan twenty miles at from $10 to $12 per horsa power. I wish that some of the sons of Omaha's rich men could apply their abll- Itlco to an honest Investigation of the truth of Omaha's opportunity and advantage through the Platte river Instead of wasting them upon efforts to deny and suppress It. " ENFORCING THE ORDINANCE. I'cilillerM MiiHt Secure Iloeii cH or Go to J.-.H. The city ordinances provide that every peddler with a wagon shall take out a li cense , which costs $30 a year. Peddlera say that business Is so poor that they are unable to pay the license fee , and consequently somn of them are arrested dally , charged with vlolatlne the ordinances. Heretofore Judge Gcrdon has beenlenlent. . Inflicting a fine , but suspending It on condition that the offenders take out licenses. Llceneo Inspec tor Hurst has complained that this pro cedure renders all arrests practically void , and therefore Judge Gordon has decided to enforce the payment of the fine , or send the offender to jail. The first victim was Jacob Drown , who was fined $1 and costs. Ho was unable to pay and was therefore put on the chain gang to work out the fine. He refused to work , eaylng that ho was sick , and ho was therefore confined In a cell. Brown's family Is In de-stltuts circumstances and the mem bers almost starving. There Is a wife and three children , the oldest 5 years of ago and the youngest 4 months. They are almost barefoot , are without provisions and have no fuel.

Several days ago a friend loaned him $5 to buy vegetables to peddlo. but ho was arrested before ho sold 20 csnts worth. During Ills confinement In the Jail the vegetables arc In the house , rotting.

GENERAL AVERILL SECURES HIS .RIGHTS IMV York Court lloliln Hint tlic Ilnr- lier Axplmlt I'mliiHT Oiiniimii- AIiiMl Hnrreiuler lntentN mill AlnUc nil Accounting. A decision was rendorcd last Wednesday In a caeo In a rjfcreo'e court In Now York , by which the entire profits ot the Barber Afphalt Paving company during the past dccado were cither directly or Indirectly In volved. The effect of the decision Is to prac tically establish the contention that tha Uar- bcr company has no legal right to the patents upon which It has cleared a colossal fortune. As the Barber company IB largely Inter ested In the paving business In nearly every largo city In the United State ? , the result of the litigation Is ot general Interest. The plaintiff In the case was General Wil liam W. Averlll , n Grand Army veteran , who wan the discoverer and perfccter of asphalt for street paving. For six years ho possessed the exclusive right to Import asphalt from Trinidad Island , off the const ot Venezuela , After several years spent In experimenting ; ' he succeeded In laying the first stretch ot asphalt pavement on Pennsylvania avenue , In Washington. Ho formed what was known aa the American Asphalt Paving company , ono of the stockholders of which was A. L. Uar- bo.- , who Is uow the head of thu Harbor As phalt Paving company. General Averlll'a contention hasi been that Harbcr and h9 ! as sociated took title to and Infringed upon cer tain patents which tbo American company had taken out. Ono of thcso patents , In fact , \a \ Known as the Averlll patent , bearing the general's name. Barber formed a company ot his own , and hla success soon led to the disruption of General Avcrlll's company , and the general became nearly bankrupt. Thirteen years ago General Avcrlll brought suit against Harbor to compel htm to transfer back to the American company the patents relating to the composition and construction , ot asphalt pavement. One Judge died bcforo ho had heard alt the evidence , 'but ' as far back as 1SS7 Judge Patter&on of the supreme court of New York decided that Harbor and hla associates had no Individual right to the pat ents , and that they must make an accounting of the profits acquired by the.n from the use , of the patents. The case dragged along In the courts , and a referee was finally appointed to determine at what figure the profits should be assessed. This referee filed his report last Wednesday , and declared that General Avcrlll Is entitled to a Judgment against Har bor for the sum of $106,401 and costs. Gen eral Avcrlll'u counsel said that this account ing had reference only to the work done by Barber's company In the city of Buffalo , N. Y. , where nearly 3,000,000 pquaro yards ot arphalt pavement have been laid. As soon' as this claim IB allowed by the courts Gen eral Avcrtll Intends to bring a suit for dam ages against every city which , by awarding , contracts to Barber , has infringed upon the , original patents. Over 6,000,000 square yards of asphalt pave ment have lioen laid by Barber's company In tenlargocities. . Omaha " , has nearly600,000 tvmaro yards ) Moat of "tho cities , however , protected themselves by requiring Barber to file a bond , so that Barbjr will feel tlib loss In the end. During Tammany's municipal reglmo In New York City Barber obtalno'd many favors. When Gllroy woe commis sioner of public works ho went to far as to send nn expert engineer to the Is'e of Trini dad , under the pretense of Investigating the asphalt beds. Many stories have been printed Intimating that several Tammany officials were Interested In the success of thla asphalt company. General Avcrlll was compelled to obtain the position of assistant Inspector gen eral of eoldlcrs' homes for the government , which ho has held for several years. HI * friends throughout the union will bo pleased to learn of the encouragement ho has re ceived frorn the referee. General Anson G. McCcok , city chamberlain of Now York City , was appointed receiver for the American Asphalt Paving company In 1894. Ho has brought two suits against Barber and hie asphalt company , both of which are now pending , one of them being In the \Vest Vir ginian courts.

In ad dition to this lie has "been fined , and also his companions A. W. Lucas , C. B. Stevens and. John Hornborg , all from Stanton. The four men came to the city , or rather to South Omaha , Thursday , After transacting ' ing their business .they made a bee line for the tabooed district ot this city In a search for a touch ot hl h life. When they reached the saloon at Ninth street and Capltol avenue * they were In a very hilarious frame of mind , liquor having got In Its work. It especially , affected Voak , who was tbo moneyed man of the party. While the men were having a good time a colored woman entered the raloon and no sooner had she spied Voak than she made a frank avowal that his charms of person and mind were too much for her feminine heart and she confessed herself smitten. This ) tickled Voak Immensely. The bartender warned him tu avoid the woman , but Voak was In such a condition that ho know moro than anybody else and with her ha left the saloon. They went no further than the side walk. The woman very imddcnly excused ! herself and Voak , very much disappointed , returned to the saloon to icara that ho had been "touched" for his $ S5 , Tills occurred shortly before midnight , but Instead of reporting the loan to the pollco Voak and hla party theintelvea set out to trail the thief. They ran up against several people and Voak accused them of knowing something about the theft. The first man hit him In the eye , the next loorcnod hla teeth , and a third person , n woman , scratched Ills face. The party finally came to the con clusion that they had enough and at 3:30 ln-th morning they rolleJ Into the titutlon and reported - , ported the loss. i VoaU's appearance was very suspicious1. Besides having his fuco battered , ho had ] gathered up a good portion of Third ward ! dirt by being rolled upon the pavement and ho fairly reeked with the fumea of liquor.
