The city council jesterday afternoon was
In conference with the heads ot the various
departments of the city government to con
sider and talk over the flntnclal condition
and needs of the various blanches during
the remainder of the year with a view to
relieving the pwpectlve deficit in the funds
After n br'et open session the council
members excluded all the beads of depart
ments and went into executive session. It
was decided In this meeting to turn the
whole matter over to tin finance committee
to repo"t nt next Tuesday's council meet
ing. This action was taken for the reason
that City Comptroller Westberg , Tax Com
missioner Sackett and City Attorney Connell ,
at the last meeting appointed a committee
to discover the exact dlfftrenco between the
interest on delinquent taxes nnd the Interest
on registered warrant0 , which Is expected to
be sulHclent to relieve the gcne'al fund to
the extent ot some thousands of dollars , woio
not ready with their report.
In the open meeting City Treasurer Hd-
w-mls protested against the- discharge of his
two clerks , decided upon at the lost meetIng -
Ing of the council. Thp remainder of the
time was taken up with the Hoard of Fire
iml Police commissioners , nil of whom were
iresent They urged tlat they would ueel
JSO 000 to maintain the flro department on
IB present basis during the remainder o'
the year , and about $3,500 for the police de
partment.
The council members appeared to be In
'avor of upholding the fire department If the
monoj could be secured , but leaked with dls-
favoi on the deficit in the police fund. Pres-
'dont ' Blngham reminded the commissioners
feveral times during the conference that thej
Und been warned to keep expenses within
he appropriation. The commissioners admlt-
cd this , but maintained that they had been
is economical as passible.
"Is it necessary to have three captains
ind live sergeants on the force ? " asked
Councilman Stuht.
"No , " answered Commissioner Gregoiy ,
vho actnd ab spokesman for the board , "but
\\e cannot get rid of them "
Ho exp'alned that Judge Scott's decision
In the case of Chief of Detectives COK would
not permit them to get rid of the men on
he fo-ce. At the sime time Commissions'
Oullard said that If the necessary appropri-
itlon to maintain the deoartment on Its
p esenl basis was not given the beard couM
'ay ' oft some of the "poor timber" and hire
t over again when the money was availa
ble It was stated , however , that If thl
should bo doi.e the city would be placed "In
jeopardy for lack of police protection. "
The commltsloners also said that an addl-
ional expense would be Incurred If a re-
niebt ot the chief of police for twenty addi
tional men for service In the city during
State fair week was g antd. In the nclgh-
boihood of ? r > 00 would be needed for this
"What good will twenty inexperienced
nen do ? " asked Councilman Blngham
"The } can stand around on the street cor
ners , " answered another of the aldermen ,

The real underlying Issue In a garbage
case tried In police court yesterday was
whether the city or Garbage Master MacDon-
aid was the larger , each acting through their
representatives. James Hooney , who was
tried for dumping manure within the city
limits at Thirty-fourth street and Popplcton
avcnuo , was an agent and employe of the
city nnd deposited the refuse nt the point
mentioned , acting ur.der orders of Superin
tendent of Streets llevcrlcy , who iccclved
his Instructions from City Engineer Hose-
water , who In turn maintained that ho was
exercising the authority vested In the mayor
and city council by the city charter and dele
gated to him. Rodney , although he showed
his permit from Superintendent of Sticcts
llever'icy , was arrested by one Of MacDon-
ald's special officers , who charged him with
violating the garbage ordinance by dumping
lefuse In the city limits
In the course of the trial , both City En
gineer Hosewator and Superintendent of
Sticcts Beverly testified that they had or
dered the manure deposited In some washout -
out on Thirty-fourth street , as that material
had been found the best for repairing the
holes , subsequent rains not belnc nblo to
wash It out again. When Officer Carlson ,
who made the arrest , was called , ho Inti
mated that the engineer was lacking In
judgment as the street was already "good
enough. " But though the city and the gar
bage contractor stcmcd to be thus nrrajed
against each other , the case was not de
cided on that point and once more a failure
was made to establish a test case of the
garbage ordinance.
After the testimony was submitted Po'ico
Judge Gordon said thnt ho wanted It mode
clear how It was that the city was made to
arrest Us own agents nnd emplojes. Ho
maintained that according to the city or
dinance no garbage or manure could be
dumped \\ithln three miles of the city limits
Moreover , the city had entered Into a con-
tiact with MncDonald to haul all the gnibagc
nnd manure out of the clt ) , the only modifi
cation being that property owners could haul
away their own refuse with their own teams
let Judge Gordon held that In the case be
fore the court , ns , In other cases , the city
had ordered others besides MacDonald to
haul away refuse nnd had even gone so far
ns to InsiruLt thnt this refuse should be
deposited In the city limits
HIGHTS OF THE CITV.
In answer to this , City Engineer Uosc-
water slated that the city charter gave To the
major nnd council th right to repilr ar-J
keep in condition the streets of the city
This power had been delegated to himself as
chairman of the Hoard of Public Works He
had found that the best way of filling wash-
outc and old creek beds , which rains fre
quently opened up , was bj packing f"r.
with manure und then covering with ( j.
Since this was the best and cheapest way or
making the repairs he maintained tint'he
lud n perfect right therefore to order the
manure to be deposited in the holes nnil
that the police judge 1 ni ! i.o jurisdiction
over the Booard of Public Woil's so far as
to Instruct it as to wlut wi'o lal to put In
and what not to put Into 120 v/ashouts Ho
held that It could not be held that becatibe
the cltj was allowed to dump the stuff In
the city limits all other persons should bu al
lowed to do to A private individual who
enclosed the street during the erection of a
bulldlpg was not committing a nuisance It
he did sd under a permit from the city. He
was committing a nuisance , however , if the
street was enclosed without permission from
the city. In the ono case the city was safe
guarded by the bonds of the man who ob
tained the permit and of the ofllcers who
gave it while no bond was furnished In the
other case. City Engineer Rosev\ater also
maintained that MacDonald's garbage con
tract did not come into the question at all.
"Vet the garbage contractor's officers ar
rested the employes of the city , " Interjected
Judge Gordon.
"What right has he to do that ? " demrndcJ
City Engineer Uosewater. "He has ncth
Ing to do with enforcing the
law. Ho cannot do more than to
file a complaint like a private clt'zcn '
If he discovers persons violating the ordi
nances of tlio city. If he finds himself dam
aged In any way by the actlcri of the city he
can do no more than apply to a court or
equity foi remedy like any one else "
In deciding the case Judge Gordon Inti-
nnted that the authority by which the Board
of Public Works had allowed the dumping
of refuse had not jet been made clear to
him Ho discharged Itooney , however , say
ing that he had not willfully violated any ol
the city ordinances "what he had done was
done under the supposed author ty of the
city. "
In the course of the trial It was stated
that hundreds of loads had been dumped la
washouts In the city , Including street sweep
ings and refuse from the fire engine houses
upon permits Issued by the Board of Public
Works.

Charles Sadllck , ono ot the painters who
struck out of sympathy with the paper hang
ers , In speaking of ttio trouble leading to the
strike , said : "The paper hangers used every
'air ' argument they could control to secure an
adjustment of the difficulty before ordering
the strike. They fchoncd the Injustice of
paying by the day Instead of by the piece ,
In that the fast workmen received no moro.
than those who were slow They held .sev
eral consultations with the emplojcrs , and
while thede were going on the cmplojors
were sending out Into the country for work
men to come to Omaha to take our places.
Finally the paper hangers decided that en
and after September 7 they would perform
no more work except at n specified price per
roll. This price they prefer not to make
public at this time , but will , If necessary ,
and It will show the public the difference
between the price received by the contract
ors and that paid to the workmen. I think
the prospects are now favorable for a settle
ment ot thu trouble Inside ot a tow dnya.
"The painters hive no grievance , but the
pipdr hangers could not win without the
help of the ralntcrs , so we wont out with
them. "
The paper hanging establishments of the
city say that the strike Is completely broken.
The ) make statements that the majority of
the strikers have como back to v\ork at the
old scale In ono shop all the union men
have come back to work and nt least n portion
tion have returned In all the others.
According to the omplojers the only result
of the strlko will be that Instead of all the
shops being union , as In the past , they w'lll
bo nonunion establishments. This means
thnt men given employment In the future
will not need to belong to unions , ns no dis
crimination In this respect Is to bo shown.
The old scale will be kept In force.

City Enginei Rosevvatei has made an ex
amination of the nev. Patrick avenue eowe1
v.lilch reveals a rather peculiar state of
facts The sewer lb 'apparently In flrst-clabs
slnpe , and by looking In one end of the
pipe light can be seen at thu other , liu
nevertheless the pipe absolutely refuses to
carry water. Fully l.GOO gallons of water
was dumped In from the flush tanks , but
the lower end ol the sewer remained dry
The water runs In full volume' to a po nt
about 100 feet from the lo.\er end and there
It suems to disappear , Mr. Rosewoter Is of
the opinion that this lb the result of an
Intentional effoit on the part of some dis
gruntled workman to Injure the contrnc ors
Even If the pipe w ro not cemented the
water would inn thiough It arid the fact
that It all leaks out at a certain point Indi
cates that a break lias been purpcnely made
In the pipe The contractors aio digging
up the lower 100 feet today to dlbcovei the
leak.

alone ; the proposed route by parades ot brass
bands and approprhtc banners. In Omaha
tliu celebration took on the form ot a street
parade by the Seventh Ward band. Umle
the leadership of Uandmastcr GeorKO Green
and hfAiilcd liv Drum Major nislcv the
twentj-flvu musicians succeeded In attract
ing much attention to the advertising ban-

The announcement that the directors of
the Duilngton had decided to e\pend the
sum of ? : > 00,000 In building new fre ght tei-
mlnals at Kansas City was the cause of con
siderable coinnieJt In local railway circles
jestordiy. It had been known for a long
tluio that the freight vards , trackage and
freight houses of the Hurllngton at Kansas
City were dot all tint could bo dislrod , and
It had been re , orted several llmcii that the
Ourllngton would expend a lirge sum of
money in improvlrg them whenever the
rarnlnirs of the railroad Justified the evpendl-

With the expenditure of $3.r > 0,000 In this
rltj for a new passenger station and of ? 300 -
000 In Kansis City for Improved freight
terminals , the Burlington , it Is contended ,
will be affording an unmistakable object les
son In the return of prosperity to western
railroads. It Is also rumored that the Bur
Ilngtrn will before many months roll around ,
begin to double track Us main lines in Iowa
an ! Nebraska. When the loid was built , side
tracks of from one to two miles In length
were put In at nearly every station , and It
Is currently reported that the management
will soon order these side-tracks connected ,
making a double track sjstem on all the
principal lines.

It was cnrrenly reported In local railway
circles jesterday that J. V. Parker ,
general freight and passenger agent of the
Oiralia , Kansas City & Kaste'n Railroad
company and of the Omaha & St. I/ouls Rall-
oid e-mp-uiy , has resigned his position on
account of a serious disagreement between
hlirself and General Manager Savin.
The rumoi cannot bn confirmed or denied
at the local offices of the new rallrcad It
's known , however , tint General Manager
Sivln is at present acting as his own gen
eral Height and passenger agent. Matters
in the t.alllc departments of the new rall-
load between hero and Qulncy do not appear
to be running b.iiojtlily , as this Is the thhd
reslgnatlon that haa been reported within as
many weeks. Whether the falling out can
be patched up and relations between the two
high officials of the line again icsumed Is a
matter at which railroad men in this city
aio now making their own guesses.
