The resignation of Dr. Dlythln as county physician , accompanied by a graceful note ex pressing his good will toward the members of the board nnd his appreciation of t o treatment he had received at their hands , was received nnd accepted. Dr. S. D. Mercer was unanimously elected county physician , and his bond approved. A communication was received from Judge Fawcett , notifying the bourd that Charles H , Leslie had been nppoln'cd to succeed Thomas H. Leslie as bailiff or his court. ' A letter from George Anthcs , chief clerk In the county treasurer's office , was lend. It recommended a radical change In Ihe 1 state rtsvenufe laws. It suggested thnt when- evcr a new tax list was turned 'over to the county treasurer the outstanding accounts of the old tax list be annendcd , and that a new column bo added to the books for keepIng - Ing account of delinquent taxes. The writer maintained that were the changes suggested . adopted , ono book would do where thirty-six nro now required. Commissioner Stonborg Bald that It was n well known fact that the methods of bookkeeping employed In Douglas 1 county were crude ami antiquated , and that this was a favorable opportunity for the coin- mlssloners to recommend n change. The communication wan referred to the judiciary committee. Resolutions endorsing the Tronsmlsslsslpp ! nnd International exposition wcro unani mously passed. The report of the superintendent ot the county hospital , showing n total ot 132 In. mates , was received and ordered filed.

Ho said that this prop crty had been taxed doubly and that the com mlttce had agreed to net with the city Ju dlclnry committee In reducing the assessmen to the rate of $3.000 per mile for two and : quarter miles. This would reduce the valua lion to $7,330. The report recommended tha the excess chaise bo cancelled. The repor of the committee was adopted. The judiciary committee reported tha Luther L. Thomas had escaped taxation 01 hla business for several years back. Thi chairman stated that ho thought It was dui to the negligence of Assessor Carpenter. Oi motion of Hector It was resolved to ask th opinion of the county attorney In the matte nnd , If ho thought advisable , to request Mi Thomas to appear b'i.iro the next meetlni of the board to show cause why he shoul not pay the back taMjs. A bill of $129 from W. Scott King , th " "county surveyor , brought foith a turbulen dlacufdon , which continued for nearly twi hourp. Tho. ofllclal was late In filing hi . bill for the month of February. Commls sloncryilllams wonted the rules suspendci and the bill approved. To this Stenbcrg vlo lently objected , maintaining that It had beei agreed that reform In the matter of approv Ing bills siould ) be Instituted , and. that now at the very first meeting , Eomo'ot the boar wished to suspend the rules and approve bill which the committee on roads had IK * even Investigated. KJerstcad declared him self as emphatically opposed to a suspensio of the rules and a hurried approval of th bill. The debate waxed warm on the subject and the original motion became los't sigh of In a discussion- to whether or not unati Imom consent "was necessary for the ouspen slon ot the rules. Chairman Jcoklnq or gaged In the debate and announced that hone ono commissioner could thwart the Willie the majority while he presided over the dc s liberations of the board. The chalrma vainly endeavored to shut off continued dls " c.usslop of the measure , but Stenherg wa not to bo turned down. He said that h had the consent of his colleagues to talk a long as he pleased , and that a presldln officer could not very well object. Jcnkln promptly called Williams to the chair afa then made his objection from the floor. Mai ters had cooled down considerably , when I was brought out that Surveyor King ha charged the county at the rate of $4 pe day for the use of his own team. Klerstca said bo thought that was an outrage , an then tliere was another edition of the d < bate. Finally a vote was reached , on th matter and the bill was approved , Klerstea and Stenberg voting In the negative.

Ilncknmn Could Xot Help Him Itnlil in x Corner. There IF a city ordinance which provides that peddlers cannot take stands on the streets with their wagons until nfter 4 o'clock In the morning. This ordinance went Into effect last fall. Heforo that tlmo ped dlers were In the habit ot taking stands on the street corners as early ns 11 and 12 o'clock at night In order to get a good posi tion for tlic following day. They would roll themselves up In blankets and RO to sleep In their wagons or on the sidewalks until It was tlmo for them to do business , which meant when people began to appear on the streets. The new ordinance caused more trouble In peddling circles than a strange "pug" In the Third ward. In their ahxlety to get good positions , pf ( Idlers' still persisted In coming earlier than the ordinance permitted , nnd It required a number of arrests before this habit wns discontinued. Ot late , how ever , the peddlers have not appeared until 4 o'clock. At that hour there Is always a lively scramble to obtain favorable corners , which very freqeuently terminates In n fight. There has been moro trouble over the corer - er at Sixteenth and Hedge streets than any her In the city , ns it Is considered the est. It Is nn unusual thing when some icddlcr IB not In police court every morning n the charge cf fighting In that vicinity , .nd . among those who have been up several mes Is J. Alpcrson , Alperson ot late has not succeeded In pro mpting the corner and In consequence ho ias been very much annoyed. He has lost ecp In trying to think out some scheme by hlch ho might outwit the ordinance nnd ncldentally his competitors. The Inspiration ,11110 the other night. After walking the oor for several hours Alpcrson hit upon a chemo which he thought a hummer. Ho iut It Into effect last Thursday morning. Ho went aiound to a hackman friend ot his nd made a bnrcaln with him to take n land at the .desired corner on the- following mornlnc nt 2 o'clock and hold It for him. he hackman was to receive $1.50 for this ivork , but It was specifically agreed that ; ho money was not to be paid over to the lackman If Alpcrson wns not safely In- italled upon the corner. At least so Alper- on and one of his friends say. The hack- nan denies this part of the agreement. The scheme worked to a certain point. The hackman took his place on the corner t 3 o'clock and held It until 4 o'clock , when \lperson appeared. Then he drove out and \lpcrson prepared to take his position. Dut a hitch occurred at this point. Another eddler , who watched the pro"Podlngs and m el led rodents , got In Ills work a little quicker than Alperson and when the hack Irovo away he slipped in and secured the corner. "Get out of there , " yelled Alperson. "Yes , I will , I don't think , " answered the other , and he positively refused to budge Trouble began at once. The hackman de manded his pay and Alpcrsan refused to give t. After a Jangle of half an hour the hack man drove away , swearing vengeance , am lauocd a warrant to be Issued for Alperson's irrcst for beating a hack bill. The trial occurred yesterday. Alper- oo n swore that ho had not promised to pa ; anything If the corner was not turned ovci o him. The hackman denied the proviso fudge Gordon dismissed the case. "Thla Is a gooJ thing , but It Is pushed : Ittlc too far , " he said In giving his decision 'If I find that the man beat the hackmai out of a fare , the hackman can be prosecutei for being on a corner which Is not a had stand. If I decide that Alperson violated thi peddling ordinance , then the hackman Is a guilty as he , because he entered Into con splracy with him to do so.

HAS NO STANDING IN COURT Auditor Moore Ruled Ont of the Omaha Fire Insurance Company Oaso , POSITION TAKEN BY JUDGE POWELL Any Policy Holder for lllinnolf or Other * MlKlit Intervene Direc tion * < ! lvou to ilic Itccelvcr Sonic oC the TcMImoiiy. ir.io hearing on the petition ot State Aud itor Eugene Moore for leave to intervene on behalf of the policy holders In Uie case ot E. L. Stone against the Omaha Fire Insur ance company , a case brought to wind up the business ot the company , was held before Judge Powell ycste'rdny afternoon. The affidavits ot Auditor Moore and his export examiner. Frank H. Wilson , In sup- ort ot the application to intervene , as well the answer of Receiver Gannett , have eon published In The Dee. Another nffl- nvlt by Examiner Wilson wns present J to he court. In which It wns stated that ! X xaintner had found that the amount ot the utstnndlng buslnceo ot the company , which kns "nllvD , " amounted to nbout1,000,000 , he cost ot which , to reinsure , was estimated t about $13,000. The- cash value of the sssts of the company wns cstlmntrd nt 05,000 or $07,000 , nnd the total liabilities t $27,000 or $28,000 , Including the cost of re- usurlng. The attorney for the1 receiver nnd the tmipany attacked the nccuracy ot Y7lli > on'B igurcs , Informing the court that the notes ; lvcn In payment for stock , some of which ontnlned the nnmcs ot prominent business icn ns signers or endorsers , were outlnwed , icing demand notes made In 1889 , nnd never iroscntcd for pnymcnt. The checks which Examiner Wilson Included In his figures of assets , the attorney stated , were given by omc of the stockholders ns leans In order o strengthen the reserve fund on account 'f ' the heavy losses. These checks were epoplted In the banks for collection , nnd t least one of them was returned marked 'payment ' refused for want of funds. " The locks Included In the examiner's list of as- ets were also leans by the stockholders , ac- : ordlng to the attorney. Some ot the stock as good and part of It was worthless. iVhen the attorney had gone through the 1st of assets In this manner there was very Ittlo left. , The affidavit of Receiver Gannett was In- roduccd on the part of the company , In which It was stated that the total assets of he company were $04,930 , and the liabilities , 170,034.22. The cost to reinsure the live leks of the company was placed nt $31,000. Auditor Moore was subjected to a seveic iroccss of cross-questioning In an attempt to ihow some ulterior motive In the Interest ol ome other Insurance company , on the pari if the auditor. He testified that he was equested by not less than 1GO policy hold- TS In the Omaha company to Intervene In ionic way and protect their interests , bul AOS not influenced In any way by the agenl ) f nny other company. Ho pronounced the plan of the receiver a scheme to scalp the policy holders and leave thorn at the mcrcj of the agents of other companies. He wai certain , from Investigations he had made hat the live business of the Omaha com' pany would bo rewritten by other com panics which would be willing to take an as slgnment of the return premiums and fill them with the other creditors of the com pany , . . taking their chances pro rata will other creditors. Examiner Wilson created something of s sensation by saying that ho discovered amoni the alleged assets ot the company severa fciged notes , which were turned In by threi agents of the company for premiums. Hi said he asked the bookkeeper of the com pany about these notes nnd the bookkeepo said that they had not been charged off | tin books "because ; the business wouldn't war rant It.- " ' . The case was argued briefly , after whlcl the court rttted against the application o the auditor , the court remarking that th company was In court and there was rib la\ authoring the auditor to Intervene lit sucl a casa. Any policy holder would bo ajlowei to Intervene for himself or , other polic ; holders , but the auditor could have no stand Ing in court In such a case. An order , wa made directing the receiver to ask for bid ICom' other companies for reinsuring th live risks of the. company , the bids to b filed in court , the condition of the bid to be that the companies rewriting th Insurance file their claims with other cred Itors.

The republican county central Commltte met nt Patterson hall yesterday nfternoo : and selected Saturday , March 28 , as th date for the county .convention to sclec delegates to the state convention. Ilier WRS nn unusually full representation ot th committee , but the proceedings were liar monlous and the business was transacted I short order. Secretary. , A. J. Lunl called ' 'tlio com mlttce to order and In the t rapi ary all sence of Chairman Le Js , J. M , G JIan wa delected , an clialnnb.ii , Mr. Ie\\la took th chair on his , arrival. After spme objectlo a motion tfmt the delegates present cart th ' full vote of their 'dejegatjojis prevailed. A Clements was named to i fill the vacancy o the committee from.Northj.Omaha. Chairman Lewis then suggested that ih caucuses bo he d on the evening of Marc 20 , the primaries o.n the afternoon * of Marc' 27 and the convention on the afternoon n March 28. After some discussion ( lies dates wcro selected with t'he understandin that In the county precincts the 'primarle should bo hcll ( In the evening Instead of th afternoon. The hour for the convention wa fixed at 1 o'clock. A motion to Indefinitely postpone the re appolnmtmcnt of delegates was carried wit a whoop , and R. W. Drecklnrldgo moved tha last year's rules , bo adopted to govern th primaries and convention. James Walsh thought that more latltud ought to be given at the primaries. He sat that there were hundreds of' democrats wh had declared that they had voted the tlckc for the last time and they should bo give a chance to get In the band wagon. Mr. GllUn thought that it was time enoug to allow democrato to participate In republl can primaries after they Jiad voted a reput llcnn ticket , and thus Indicated the fir ccrlty of their position. This view prevails and nrecklnrldgo's motion was carried. The members were directed to hand I their lists of judges and clerks and the Ic cation ot the primaries on or before ne > Thursday. Mr , "Rrecklnridgo claimed th floor , but was left out by a motion to ac journ , which was carried , while he clalme recognition , After adjournment lie requestc all the delegates to attend the meeting c Body's opera house in the Interests of th candidacy of General Manderson for. th presidency.

JUDGE ) 1IAKKH nct , MIT ANSWI3II Jury Prononn < -Smcrnl Ko et ( lne - tloim to the Iltinornlilc Court. The proverbial density and obtuscness which characterize ! " the average jury was well Illustrated In the criminal court room Friday afternoon , The Jury In question was the one which had heard the evidence in the case of John Ilasko , who was charged wltb grand larceny. The principal witness in the case was thMkecpcr ot the boarding house where Ilasko was staying at the time the crime was committed. This witness tes tified that Ilasko roomed with Otto Schultz , and that ono evening Hnsko brought a stranger home with him. The two remained about the house a sUort tlmo nnd the wlt- noM saw Ilasko carrying out ot tbo front door a largo quantity of clothing belonging to Schultz. The case went to the Jury with the usual instructions nnd the twelve men remained out nbout an hour , when they re quested the bailiff to tnko them before the court. After they were seated In the court room Judge Baker asked them If they had ariivtd at n verdict. The foreman nrose and said : "VoUr honor , ono ot the Jury , he thinks it wasn't this man , " pointing to Haske , "that stele them clothes , but It was the other feller. Wo want the court to tell us what to do. " The court managed to maintain Its dignity by coughing very severely , but the common herd In the court room wns convulsed by this original request. The court bailiff held his fnCe straight with one hand while he pounded vigorously for order with the other hand. When quiet was restored the court , evidently Ishlng to give the foreman a chance to state Ito condition Intelligently , asked him again .ow matters stood. The foreman blurted nit , "Wo want the court to tell us which Is guilty man. " The Judicial dignity had nothcr tussle to keep In evidence , but the jry was Instructed thnt It would have to /rcBllo with that question for Itself and the alllff was instructed to take the Jury out gain. At this the attorney who had been np- olnted by the court to defend Ilasko com- ileted the farce by Jumping up and Indlg- nntly demanding that "These proceedings o stricken out. " The court remarked that hero was nothing to strike out and the nt- orncy exclaimed , "I take nn exception to ho ruling of the court. " Tliov llolli nciiicil the Theft. Mary Kennedy , the domestic who was con- Icted of stealing a gold watch , the property f Mrs. C. E. Morrlll , by whom she was cm- iloycdag sentenced yesterday to con- .Incmcnt In the county Jail for ten days. She cried and' sobbed , protesting that one did not Intend to tnko the watch , but bad merely ct her lover , George Bagley , take It for a 'ew days to wear It. Bagley was tried a few days ago and acquitted. The watch had been round In his possession , but ho said that It was given to him by the woman and that he thought It belonged to her. It Hl'.lsc-s II I-Olllt Of I.IITT. The case against Frank Devlne , charged with stealing a cold watch and chain , waa completed Friday afternoon , with the ex ception of the charging of the Jury by the court , which was postponed until this morn ing. When court opened Juror Boguo , o talesman , was not In his scat , and It took Borne tlmo to establish the fact that he was at home , sick. The Jury was then excused until Monday morning. If the absent - juryman man should not materialize , a fine technical point will be raised as to the validity of an other trial. _ Thcller'H Ol ill in Gilt Down.

CAN APPORTION LIABILITY What Bolln's Different Bondsmen Should Pay Now Doterminnble , ROBLEM SOLVED BY ACCIDENT OF A DATE Cliy Attorney Snyn ( lm < Alt < ltirilnn About the Mutter Now YimlnlicH IlonilHiiicti AVI 11 Do Sonic Checking Ul > > The fact that December 31 , 1S93 , happened o come on a Saturday Is likely to prove nn mportnnt factor in the settlement ot the aim ot the city against the bondsmen ot Icnry Dolln , the cx-clty treasurer. Slngu- arly enough the recent discovery that such vas the casa Is eald to have the effect of making the case of the city practically ccuro. During the six months that the experts ere engaged on Dolln's books ono ot the mln objects of their Investigation wns to ciatlsfactorlly establish the distinction bc- nccn his first and second term of office , uch wns the general demoralization ot hla ccounts that for n long time It was feared tat their efforts would not bo successful. As the municipal officers take their scats n the first Tuesday In January , there is sually a lapsa of several days between the lose of business nt the end of the year nnd ho date on which the office formally changes ands. From the examination of Bolln's ccounts It was Impossible to satisfactorily etermlno the relation of the business of the Irst few days of 1894 , ns It applied to either erm of office. More recently It was dls- ovcred that the anticipated difficulty was mere fiction. Holln's report. In which ho iummarlzcd the business of 1S93 , was dated December 31. It wns not until nfter severnl nonths had been spent In checking up the ccounts that It was discovered that this date ell on Snturdny. As the new year began on unday , Monday was recognized ns a holiday nd no business was transacted. Consc ucntly no business was transacted betweci ho last dny of 1S93 nnd the first Tuesday In January , 1894 , when Bolln had properly en- cred upon his second term. City Attorney Conncll says that this ihronologlcal singularity cuts the knot that IBS bothered the city authorities for months. It Fcnnrntea the two terms as effectively as though they had been cut in \\o with an ax nnd eliminates any pos sibility of a legal quibble as to the relative responsibility between th various seta of bondsmen , "Wo wcro confronted at the outset , " ( aid Mr. Conncll. "with n very complicated situa tion. Not only wcro there two sets of bonds men for each term , but on account of the l\f o terms wo > had to adjust the defalcation be tween tour different sets of bondsmen , Dut the fact that no business was transacted on the first two days ot January simplifies the matter nnd I am positive that wo will bo able to definitely determine the relative re sponsibility ot the bondsmen. It la a con dition that would not obtain twice. In n life time and It Is n very fortunate thing for tha city that It occurred nt Just this time. " It Is also stntcd that this discovery has operated to change the plans ot one or tno of the bondsmen who have been understood to favor contesting the claims of the city. H Is now given out thnt the bondsmen have decided to settle as soon as they arc satis fied that the figures presented by the city are correct. At a full meeting of the bondsmen - men , which was hold ono evening this week , the committee \vas Instructed to procure the services of a first class expert to mnko a final Investigation ot the books and ndvUo as to the accuracy of the results obtained by the exports employed by the city. The committee is now looking for a satisfactory man , nnd it Is said thnt one will be cm- ployed In n few days. "It must bo under- sto"2 , " said ono of the bondsmen , "thnt we propose to do the right thing by the city1. Dut it is no moro than fair that the city should be equally liberal. Wo should not bo compelled to accept the figures fur nished by the city as absolutely correct until wo have substantiated them. Wo propose to employ an expert , who Is not only nn ac countant , but who Is thoroughly familiar with municipal affairs. Such a man is not picked up every day , but wo will have ono very soon. We have an Idea that the ad ditional shortage of $70,000 nhlch was dls- co\cred toward the close of the Investigation will turn out to bo an error , nnd thnt a thoroughly first class man will bo able to trace It , In nny case , wo expect to settle with the city on art equitable basts as soon asso arc assured as to the exact nmouut that Is duo. " So far the bondsmen have made no effort to obtain access to the books and the re ports of the experts. They are waiting until they can employ a competent man and then they will check up the entire business of the treasurer's office during the IJolln re gime. IIOTV ItiitcH Via tlie lliirlliiKton.
