BO WORD FROM WASHINGTON local Officials In tha Dark Concerning Street Railway Mail Service. BUSINESS INTERESTS ARE AROUSED lloiiort of Clilot Clorlc Vnnilcrriiort HliiMin thtit llnnillliiK 'Mn 11 ! } ' Motor Train In Clicnit anil SntlKfactory. The question of the transportation of the ' /nails by means of the street cars Is ono which la receiving the most serious con sideration ot tha postal authorities In this city and the business men , but the busi ness men of South Omaha anil the stoclc yards are manifesting the greatest Interest In the matter. The Washington dispatches yesterday morning stated that the Postofllcc department had referred the matter to Post master Martin and Intimated that ho had been given some power to settle the differ ence between the department and the Omaha Street Hallway company. Inquiry at the postofllce , however , developed the fact that nothing had been received from Washington relating to the matter and nothing now was known as to the situation. Chief Clcik Vandcrvoort of the railway mall service stated that there had been no changu In the situation slnco ho requested the department to send a special agent to Omaha to Investigate the matter , nny further than that the postmaster at South Omaha had been directed to report on the cost of wagon service between the two cities In case the motor service should bo discontinued. The postmaster and Mr. Vandcrvoort con ferred on this question Monday , with the result that It was found that a service by wagon , giving as many trips per day be tween Omaha and South Omaha and between both offices and the depots would cost about $1,000 , per annum , without anything like as satisfactory service. The street railway company has been receiving less than $500 per annum for the service It has been rendering and has notlllcd the department that It will not perform the service after August 1 , the date of the expiration ot the present contract , for less than { 100 per month. On the basis of the mileage rate paid for transportation of the malls the service performed by the street railway com pany Is worth about $1,400. According to Mr. Vandcrvoort , If the de partment cannot afford to Increase the com- jicncntlon now paid the street railway com pany , and If wagon service Is adopted , It will mean that the service will bo limited to ono or two trips per day to South Omaha. Thla Is the feature of the case which has nroused the packing houses and other big establishments at South Omaha. With the Jy present facilities they arc on the same footIng - Ing as regards dispatch of mall business as the Omaha business houses , but If the serv I ice Is limited to two or thrco trips per day It will mean that the houses there will be obliged to employ messengers of their own. They are considerably wrought up over the nltuatlon , and have gone so far as to declare clare that they would rather dispense with the free delivery service than to bo deprived of the street railway mail servlc. The citizens of Omaha would also suiter by the abolition of the street railway serv Ice , as It would be necessary to close the malls at least thirty minutes sooner than Is now the case. Mr. Vanderyoort Is of the opinion that the difficulty will be solved In some way , nnd that an agreement will bo maclo by which the present , service will bo continued , but ho says ho cannot say In just what manner this will bo done. IVa says the de- r partment Is disposed to grant the Increase asked by the street railway company , anil the only reason why this la not done Is on account of a lack of money. What the re- cult of the efforts Jiclng made by Congress man Mercer will be , Mr. Vandervoort is unable to say , but hu expects to hear some thing definite within a few days. Make It a point to see that your blood Is purified , enriched and vitalized at this s > ea- eon with Hood's Sarsaparllla. ENTHUSIASTIC OVER I'ROSPKCTS. Slate Fair MiuingrcrH Tnllc of the Jij Coming ; Show. Secretary Furnas of the Hoard of State Fair Managers came to the city Monday night with a big bunch of golden rod. A few members of the board came with him. and the remainder arrived Inside the borders of ' the city yesterday. r- - The purpose of the meeting Is to make the remaining necessary preparations for the approaching state fair. Ono of the chief matters to be considered will bo some en largement of the buildings , and particular/ ! the cattle and hog sheds. Several thou sand dollars will be expended. The work Is expected to bo commenced next week. Secretary Furnas Is enthusiastic over the prospects. Ho believes the fair will eclipse that of last year. He made a visit to the State fair grounds yesterday morning In com pany with Members Vance and Dunham. One of the objects of the trip was to arrange for the enlargement of the secretary's quarters , which wcro cramped last year. The other purpose was to look over the grounds and buildings. "Thcro will be no lack of water this year , " said the genial ex-governor. "Tho new wells and pumps will furnish at least four times as much as wo had last year and that will bo ample for all purposes. Moreover , If we have such winds as wo had last year. It won't bo anywhere as disagreeable as It was. The grounds have been sodded and mowed and there will bo a minimum of dust. * "Tho transportation facilities this year will bo much bettor , too. The Omaha Street Hallway company Is putting In ad ditional power to run cars ovflry two minutes and a half and ovcry two minutes If necessary. It Is already flxlng the track. The rallicarts have also taken n step for ward. The companies nro putting In switches , which will allow trains to pass each other on the lines. " I \fo \ Mr. Furnas prophesied that the fair would bo a topnotcher In the way of exhibits , espe cially from the btatc. Ho stated that the crops would be better this year than for years past , and the exhibits would bo corre spondingly better. Exhibits are promised In greater variety from outside the state. Whllo Secretary Furnas la a warm friend of Bryan , ho Is by no means a Bryan man. Nevertheless , ho sees some good In Bryan's nomination from the fuel that It promises to bring at least ono outslilo exhibit. Secre tary Furnas hopes more will follow , "Slnco you have a presidential nominee from your state , " writes an Illinois stockman who WHS not represented last year , "you ought to have a pretty good fair. Therefore I In tend to hnvo DU exhibit at the fair thin year. " A Veil of Mint Rising at morning or evening from some lowlands , often carries In Its folds the seeds of malaria.

According to the statement of County Physician Mercer , Morrell Gump , the mem ber of the Bolln jury who confessed to having received a bribe , will never live out his sentence of one year that carried with it a fine of $500. Gump has been rapidly sinking ever since his Incarceration and Dr. Mercer says ho has reached a point where It seems to bo a question of but a short time when ho must succumb to the Inevitable. Within the past few weeks ho has had a number of hemorrhages and yesterday morning ho had two of those at tacks In quick succession. For some time ho has been quartered In the upper hallway of the jail and has been given almost con stant attention by the jailers and the county physician , but has grown steadily worse. Sheriff McDonald called the attention of the county commissioners to the matter yes terday morning nnd It was decided that noth ing could bo done toward removing the sick man to a hospital without an order of the court. The matter was brought to the at tention of Judge Baker and ho at once ap pointed a board of physicians , consisting of Drs. Tllden and Ewlng Brown , to act In conJunction - Junction with County Physician Mercer and examine into Gump's condition and report to the court as soon as possible. Just what will bo done after the report Is made will depend In a large measure upon what the report shows , but the judge rather Intimated that ho would order the man taken to the county hospital to remain In the nominal custody of a jailer. The case being one of contempt of court It rests with the Judge to remit the balance of the sentence , and if the physicians report that the man cannot recover , It is probable that the balance of the sentence will be re moved and the prisoner allowed his liberty before death claims him. HUMUMIIEIlKIl IIY CHINA'S MlXISTKIl General MaiiilerNon UcoolvcH n Letter from 9Ir. Yaiipr.vu. General Manderson recently found In the big bundle of moll that Is dally unloaded on his desk an Interesting letter that re called a pleasant Incident of his last east ern trip. It will bo remembered that Gen eral Maudcrson delivered the Memorial day oration at the tomb of General Grant In Riverside park , New York City. Among the distinguished officials who sat on the speakers' platform was the Chinese minis ter to this country , accompanied by his staff , all attired in diplomatic uniform. Ho was there .by direction ot his govern ment , his emperor having Instructed him to bo present nnd lay a floral tribute by the tomb of the man for whom the Chinese en tertained so high n regard. Throughout the address ot General Man derson the Chinese minister had portions of It translated to him , and expressed his approbation ot It. At the conclusion ho expressed a desire that a copy of It might bo sent to him. This wish General Maudcr- son a short time ago compiled with , while Mrs. Manderson cent along an Indian gift for the wlfo of Yaugyu. A very grateful acknowledgment of the address and the Indian tokens has just been received , and Is highly prized by the recipients.

The complainant In the case Is George E. Mlcklc , manager of the Nebraska Cycle company. The alleged forgery grows out of a guar antee bond which was furnished by Sudcn- berg to the Nebraska Cycle company on March 30 , when ho started In business. The amount Is $1,000. It Is alleged that Suden- berg signed his father's name to the Instru ment , the signature appearing upon It being "P. Sudcnberg. " The bond was given for the purpose of guaranteeing payment for goods and mer chandise that the Nebraska Cycling company turned over to Sudenbcig , The members ot the company assert that they are between $ " 00 and $400 In the hole. They discovered the forgery and at once compelled Sudcn berg to give them a bill of sale for the stock he had on hand In Council Bluffs , but the value of this falls several hundred dollars short of bU indebtedness to them , "Boys wlH be boys , " but you can't afford to lose any of them.

HOMO WRITES TO BROATCII 3ives tlio History of the Street Repairs in Controversy , IAYS HE HAS NOT USURPED AUTHORITY Clinlriiinn of the llonril ot 1'iilillc AVorlix KxplitliiH llln 1'onltlon In the Controvert- ! with the Mu > or. The following communication was sent to Mayor Broach yesterday morning by Chair man Munro of the Board ot Public Works. It Is In reply to a reccjit letter from the mayor In which Mr. Munro was severely criti cised for alleged unwarranted Interference with the street department ! Hon. W. J. Broatch , Mayor Dear Sir : Your communication of July 23 received and contents noted. Whllo Its tenor would not Indicate that ft reply was desired , at the same tlmo. Us contents were such that as chairman of the Board of Public Works I ileom nn answer thereto advlsabln. that your self nnd the public may bo scv aright as to the true state of the matter therein referred to. On Juno 1 this department received n resolution of the mayor nnd city council , authorizing the repairing of Sherman avc- nuo from Locus to Wlrt street , together with others for repairs to different streets In other portions of the city. On the day following , June 2 , a meeting of the board was held , all members being present , and Iho resolutions wore given consideration. The rccoul of the proceedings of that ses sion In this ofllco show that Mr. Kaspar , the street commissioner , moved that they bo placed on file , giving as the reason therefor that it would bo Impossible for him to proceed with the work at that time , owing to the largo number of washouts In different portions of the city requiring his Immediate attention ; that ho would proceed with the work called for In the resolution at the earliest possible moment. I Informed him that the gentleman ( Mr. Christie ) at whoso solicitation the resolution was passed by the council , was very anxious to have the work performed without delay. Ho then requested that I take charge of the work and supervise the repairing. I ac ceded to the request and had the work done. The street commissioner and myself examined the street and concluded , after personal Investigation , that the wooden blocks were so badly dccajcd that It would bo Impossible to repair the street with brick. Wo decided to have the work done with concrete , which had been taken from Sherman nvcnuo and stored In the vicinity. The street has been put In fair condltlo'n for the total sum of $18. Therefore , after an examination of the records ot this office , ot which the foregoing Is a true statement , I can arrive at no other conclusion than that your Informant la troubled with n lapse of memory , or has willfully misrep resented the facts In this case , when stating that ho had no knowledge of the resolution referred to. ASKED FOR NO INFORMATION. In reference to the Interview with your clerk ( Wertz ) In this office on or about July 20 , I would state that the gentleman did call about that tlmo. stating that complaints had been received nt the mayor's office that the repairs had not been made. I stated to him nt that time that I could not account for such complaints , ns the woik had been done several weeks prior. Ho certainly gave no Intimation at that Interview that he 'de sired Information as to the manner or mode of procedure by which those repairs were made. It would seem that this or any other department of the municipal government would not asaumo too much authority by roaulrlng that all Information from one to the other should bo In writing. Under this rule no errors would occur , and It Is In ac cordance with the provisions of section 13G , page 39 ot the charter. This department most assuredly objects to being subjected to unwarranted criticism without an oppor tunity even of being heard as to the correct ness of the matter referred to , as In this In stance. In reference to the chairman assuming the prerogatives ot the street commissioner , I deny absolutely that anything of that kind has ever been attempted on my part. Sec tion 104 of the charter expressly provides that the chairman of the board shall have general suprovlslon of nil public works , and also provides In these words : "That the street commissioner nnd sewer commis sioner shall appoint all Inspectors and em ployes In their respective departments , sub ject to the approval of the Board of Public Works. " If the chairman Is deserving of criticism It is because of his failure to en force the latter portion of the provision. I never have during my occupancy of the chair required the enforcement of that pro vision , which requires the approval of the board , with all em ployes of both departments. I also contend that the board at any time , under the pro visions of section 101 , may discharge any or all employes In cither department. Also If upon the neglect , delay or refusal ; or for other reasons , either the sewer or street commissioners shall not perform work when ordered that the chairman would bo au thorized to employ men and to do such worlt without further delay. In recommending that economy should be the watchword I cannot sec in what man ner it has reference to this special Instance , as the facts will show that the board ha" not been extravagant , as the resolution in question called for an expenditure ot ? 75 and the board through the 'chairman has ex pended the sum of $18 , and It will probably require about $7 moro to complete the re pairs , thus securing the same results as If the entire amount had been expended that was appropriated. Regarding the Inference that the chair man In this Instance , or In any other during his Incumbency , has kept from cither of the members of the board any business that should properly como before It Is absolutely false In every particular. I have been en gaged In business In Omaha for thirteen years , and been In political Ufa most of that time , and never yet have been charged with double dealing or hypocritical conduct In either. Very many of the citizens of Omaha will bear out the statement that I have always attempted to protect the tax payer In my public duties and llave never swerved from that path , although It might have been to my private Interests to have done so and thereby advanced my political preferment at various times. A Chllil The pelasant flavor , gentle action , and soothIng - Ing effect of Syrup of Figs , when In need of a laxative , and If the father or mother be costive or bilious , the most gratifying results follow Its'use ; eo that It Is'tho best family remedy known and every family should have a bottle. IIOLI.VS J10MH.MiNOT TAMCIXG Have Not Mmln Any I > roioNlloii | I.ook- i > \K to n Settlement. The bondsmen of Henry Bolln have so far failed to make any proposition to the city regarding n settlement of the treasury short age. T , J , Mahoncy , their at torney , said yesterday morning that they had expected to make n proposition last week , but sorao new com plications had arisen which had not been disposed of , It would probably be some days before they would bo In u position to say what they wera willing to do. Ot what those complications consisted be was unwilling to say. Expert Lerabeck Is still In the city and puts In his tlmo between the city hall and Mr , Mahoney's office. He Is a very reticent man by nature , and this quality has been emphasized under Instructions from his employers , the bondsmen. As the bondsmen themselves consistently refuse to say anything , the character of the con templated proposition Is a matter of specula , tlon , . It Is freely predicted , however , that ( ho amount they may bo likely to offer will not approach the shortage. City Attorney Connell says he Is still waiting and Is willing to wait a few days longer. Bo long as the suit Is filed so that the casu can bo brought up at the September term ot court bo IB not in a hurry. When aslifd a direct question whether ho bad any expectation that the proposition of the bondsmen would be one that would bo worth considering ho contented himself by saying that he kuew notblPK ot the plans of the bondsmen. 91.00 ii nss unions BO YAUO.

Rnbcr appeared ns spokesman for n .delegation of printers , representing the Typosraphlcal union of this city , before jcstordny afternoon's meeting of the Commercial club's executive commit tee. Ho stated that It was de sired to send a committee of five to the national meeting of printers soon to bo held at Colorado Springs to present the claims of Omaha as the best city for the 189S meeting. Ho asked that the Commer cial club glvo whatever assistance It could In the matter. The committee decided that It would extend an Invitation to the printers on bchnlf of the club nud refer further nctlon In the matter to Commissioner Utt. An limitation to the United States Indian Educational association to hold Its 1898 meeting In Omaha was read by the com missioner and approved by the committee. The following new members were , upon the recommendation of E. C. Price , elected to membership : E. H. Mayhcw , P. J. howls C , C. Howe , J. J. Hess , W. II. Mallory , G. B. Lasbury , C. P. Norlvall and At. L. 55ook. E. M. Bartlett made a report of the en tertainment qf the commercial lawyers. He offered a lengthy resolution of thanks to all the merchants , lawyers , officers of the law league and others who had contributed to the success of the convention. It was adopted. Ho stated that he thought n sopnrnto resolution of thanks to George W. Llnlnger for the brilliant reception he had tendered the visitors should bo adopted. A committee was appointed to draft a suitable Instrument conveying the thanks of the Commercial club to Mr. Llnlnger for his hospitality. Commissioner Utt read n communication addressed to the State Board of Transporta tion , urging that body to appear before the Interstate Commerce commission In the In terest of Omaha. The matter of Iowa rates has long given trouble to Omaha houses , there beluga marked discrimination in favor of Council Bluffs as against Omaha. The communication asking the state board to take up the matter was endorsed by the executive committee for the Commerc'al club and will be presented to the Omaha ship pers for their signatures before being for warded to Lincoln. Another communication relative to freight matters was also considered and endorsed. It was addressed to Freight Traffic Manager Munroe of the Union Pacific nnd pertained to Kansas City , St. Joseph and Leaven- worth rates. I'rliitci-N' Aniuiiil Election Tnilny. The- Omaha Typographical union will have a warm time electing delegates to the annual convention of the International Typographical union at Colorado Springs. This Is due to the fact that the delegation this year Is especially honored because Upon Its shoulders will rest the burden of bring ing the meeting of 189S to this city. There -are four candidates In the field , These are A. F. .Wilson , T. F. Sturgls T. jr. Doyle and AVilwmtO. Turner. Only two can go because that Is the number of dele gates towhich the local union Is entitled. The election 7ill he held today from 11 until 7 o'clock. The an nual election of officers takes place at the same time , but there Is only one contest In this , that being between A. F. Clark and William Mnxwell for the position of secre tary-treasurer. Upon the Omaha delegates and the two from Council Bluffs will nominally rest the responsibility of getting the convention. In reality ( he responsibility is distributed among five other parties. They belong tea a committee consisting of W. C. Boyer , W. A. . Runkles , L. W. Raber. Al Small and K. A. Kennedy. This committee will expound the advantages of Omaha nnd the beauties of its big exposition. The convention Is a desirable one. It Is attended by some 403 accredited delegates. It Is supplemented , however , by a meeting of the ox-delegates1 association , which now has a membership of 1,140 , and will bo still larger In 1898. A majority of the members attend the meetings with their wives nnd do llttlo else thnn spend money and take In the sights. This vear's convention Is number forty- four and Is to bo held In Colorado Springs.

The advertisement will be Inserted In the papers nt once , The law requires that advertisements of this nature shall bo published for thirty days , so that nearly two months must neces sarily elapse before the work can bo com menced and It will bo well on toward fall before the street can be completed. The resolution passed by the Board of County Commissioners provides that the rend shall bo graded to the full width nnd to a G per cent grade , This It Is said will make a very desirable driveway and a grade which will bo entirely practicable tor street cars. The south sldo citizens who were so In defatigable In Retting the work ot grading under way havt now turned their attention to street car transportation to Fort Crook. A number of the residents of the south sldo have been discussing the matter and have determined to convince the Omaha Street Hallway company that the extension of the Thirteenth street line to the now post Is not only a necessity , but n paying Investment. In this matter the south aiders will again bo working In opposition to the wishes and efforts of the citizens of South Omaha. In fighting for the grading of the Thirteenth street boulevard the Southslde Improvement club had to contend with the opposition of the South Omaha people , who wanted the only road to the new post to bo through the business portion of their town and along Twenty-fourth street. With the street railway question the same situa tion exists. The South Omaha people have already commenced working for a line ot street railway to Fort Crook by way of Twenty- fourth street and they feel sanguine of suc cess. The southslders Intend making a descent upon the Omaha Street Railway company , while the people of South Omaha pin their faith to the Metropolitan Street Hallway company , a South Omaha Institu tion. In order to extend the South Omaha line to Fort Crook It will be necessary to establish a new road , as the ono now used Is not practicable for street cars , the grade being entirely too heavy. A com mittee of South Omaha citizens started out on a tour of Investigation a few days ago to see what would bo the cost of land for a right-of-way for a new line. They re ceived a cold dash of water by the demand on the part of owners of land along the pro posed route , who asked ? 500 per aero for all land necessary to bo taken. On the other hand the southslders In Omaha say It will not be necessary to open any new roads , as the Thirteenth street load will be entirely practicable. The officials of the Omaha Street Railway company say the matter of a line to Fort Crook has received no consideration at any meetings of the board of directors , although It has been the subject of cssual conversa tion between members of the directory. The question has been regarded as ono which could not come up for determination before next year , as the Thirteenth street road will not bo completed In tlmo to do any work this fall nnd considerable tlmo would be required to secure a road for the extension ol the South Omaha line. The Omaha Street Hallway company and the South Omaha company work in harmony , and anything that nlay bo' done looking toward nn ex tension of the line , via South Twenty-fourth street , will only be done after a careful de termination of the relative benefits to bo de rived by these companies.
