LINCOLN. Sept. 21. ( Special Telegram. )
Tiio supreme court met this forenoon with
Judges Post and Norval on the bench. The
court commissioners were also present. In
the Hartley IMSO the defendant was ordered
to fllo his brief within thirty days.
In the Omaha Fire and Police commis
sion case dismissals wcro made as to Foster
and Palmer on their own motions. P. W.
Ulrkhauscr , the other relater , remains 'In
the case , and by agreement between the at
torney * Issues are to bo Joined so that a
hearing may bo had In October.
In the case of Ilroatch against Moores , At
torney John C. Whartoa mailo an argument
that a question of fact was to bo decided ,
and that Moorcs was entitled to a jury trial.
For this reason ho asked for a dismissal of
the case , or that it might bo remanded to the
district court of Douglas county , to bo tried
before a Jury. Ho recognized the fact that a
jury trial could bo held In the supreme court ,
but as there was no money available to pay
aJury , , ho thought It Impracticable to try
theCBBO there.
Attoinoy F. T. Ransom broke In
"Maybewo might pay for the Jury. "
"If gentleman will pay bis own debts ,
contracted in Omaha , It will keep him busy , "
retorted Mr. Wharton.
At the close of Mr. Wharton's argument
It was learned that the answer had not
been filed In the case and the Issues were
thus not properly inadu. The court over
ruled the motion to dismiss and ruled that
no argument could ho heard as to the jury
question ai this time. Moores was allowed
twelve days to Illo his answer , and the cities-
tlpn of a rght ) to a Jury will bo heard at
the next sitting. Judge Post stated that
the Jury question was u nutter that hud
worried the court over slnco he had been on
tbu bench , and he desired to have It fully
'
cone Into.
The municipal court case was argued be
fore Commissioners Ragan and Ryan , Jus
tice Post being In the room most of the
time. Attorney J. J. Boucher , for the state ,
argued that the appointment of ofllcers for
three , six and nine years was unconstitu
tional and uncalled tor , and that In passing
the bill the leglslaturo had exceeded Its
power. Ho contended that the people wcro
rapabln of electing their own olllcorii and
tint tha constitution gave them that right.
The case was taken tinder advisement.

YORK , Neb. , Sept. 21. ( Special. ) The
thirty-sixth annual Nebraska conference
came to a close yesterday afternoon after
ono of the busiest days In Its history. A
number of Important business matters were
attended to and numerous resolutions passed.
A resolution Introduced by J. S. W. Dean
elicited qulto a warm discussion. It was to
the effect that Rev. F. L. Brltt , formerly
a member of the Nebraska conference and
presiding elder of the Nebraska City district ,
bo compelled to pay his debts. The resolu
tion was not very pacific in tone and It called
forth a storm of protest , but It wag passed.
It seems that Rev , Mr. Brltt owes the West
ern Book Concern , a Methodist publishing
house , the sum of $123 and that all efforts
to make him pay have heretofore failed.
According to the resolution the law will now
bo asked to take Its course.
A commission of the five presiding ciders
of the conference was appointed to arrange
for the place of holding the next conference
und to provide means of entertainment for
the delegates. Nebraska City has cxtendsd
an invitation to hold the next conference
In that city. E. J. Wlghtman of York , secretary -
rotary of the Nebraska Sunday School asso
ciation , addressed the conference on Sunday
school work. A resolution was passed re
questing the presiding elders to employ no
man as a supply preacher who uses tobacco.
The following resolution of thanks was In
troduced and agreed to :
"Recognizing the generous welcome granted
to us by the people of York , bo It there
fore resolved that wo extend to them our
heartfelt thanks for the generous welcome
and noble hospitality granted ; that wo extend -
tend to the people of York , the pastor of
the church and presiding older. Rev. J. W.
Stewart and A. C. Croxthwaltu. and their
wives our thanks for their untiring efforts
to make our stay HO pleasant , and wo rejolco
with them In the use of their new and beau
tiful church edifice , "
The conference also thanked the trustees
of the Baptist church for the use of the
church during the Perry trial. On a motion
by A. C. Crosthwalte the conference ad
journed sine die.
The bishop rose and made a short speech
approprlato to the occasion. Ho expressed
his gratification at the harmony and spirit
of brotherhood that has reigned through
out the sessions and he hoped that the same
spirit would attend the brethren In their
pastoral work. He wished the appointments
to prove satisfactory and a blessing to each
appointee. Ho urged the preachers to go to
their fields of labor with a determination to
succeed , to do better and more persistent
work In the Lord's vineyard. After prayer by
J. W. Stewart and F. M. Ksterbrooke the ap
pointments were given out. The list Is as

"Tho court and Judge erred In finding that
