but Is filed by Ernest J. Hruiiswlck , who
IIP.S a Judgment of $1,300 against the com
pany for having a leg cut off by one of Its
cars two years ago.
It Is alleged that 'the transfer of the prop
erty of the Street Hallway company to the
Street Hallway and Illuminating company
was fraudulent and tint Mr. Olbson , who
brought It iibout. Is an adventurer. It Is
also stated that the. mortgage given the Man

company may be declared fraudulent and
void and that the statutory liability of all
stockholdcis In the Akron Street Hallway
company bo enforced.
This suit cannot fall to seriously affect
the sale of $1,110.000 worth of bonds , the
negotiations for which have been under way
recently In New York.

Hon. J. C. Prltchard. republican senator
from North Carolina , Is In the city to
begin the official Investigation Into the dis
charge of employes from the South Omaha
station of the Ilurcau of Animal Industry for
alleged -political reasons. Ho Is chairman of
the subcommittee of the senate on civil service
ice- and retrenchment. The other members
of the subcommittee arc Senators Harris ut
Kansas and Horace Chilian ot Texas. The
former telegraphed to Chairman Prltchard
yesterday asking to be excused from the
present hearing and the chairman Immedi
ately acquiesced. It Is not known whether
Senator Chllton will be present or not.
Senator Prltchard yesterday sahl that |
nothing would bo clone at this hearing except j
to take the testimony of about forty witnesses - ,
nesses and the attendance of the full com- !
mltteo was not absolutely necessary. Ho '
mid that as ho was anxious to complete the
hearing as soon as possible all witnesses who
wished to appear should fo'ward their names '
and addresses to him at once , In care of the !
Mlllard hotel. The hearings will probably - ,
ably be held at the Mlllard hotel. '
Senator Prltchard was considerably put ]
out yesterday to find I. J. Dunn out ,
of town. He was to represent some of ,
the witnesses and the Investigating committee - j
tee was somewhat surp.lsed to Dud him
away. Whether any attorney has been ay-
pointed In his stead to look after the In
terests ot the complainants is not known.
IMPROVED HUS1NKSS CONDITIONS.
In an Interview with The Ilee yesterday
Senator Prltchard , when asked of the busi
ness conditions of Ms state , said : "Down
ill North CarolltM , as all through the east ,
there is noticeable a decided Improvement In
business conditions. AVlth the exception of
one Industry , all classes of trade are enjoy
ing belter returns tlmn for a long time. The
exception Is In the cotton trade. Tor some
reason or another the cotton industry 'in ' the
south has not Improved along with the other
industries this year. Mercantile agencies tell
us we do not get enough money for our
cotton , and that's what we think. Of course
the prlco of cotton Is regulated In England.
Hut this Is the only Industry that has not
improved very much , and I think that will
eoon.
"Tho lumber business Is booming. Prices
are good and there Is a steady demand for It.
Most of our lumber goes to Philadelphia ,
New York and Boston , which are the chief
distributing centers , and Just at present
there are some very heavy shipments from
our state to these points. There le a great
deal of the long leaf pine the yellow pine ,
as you probably call It and of the whlto
pine. Wo produce u good deal of the latter ,
although Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota
sa'ld In the senate not long ago that we did
not. The demand for lumber Is undoubtedly
caused by the revival of trade generally and
an incrcaso in building. "We feel the effects
of the return of prosperity thereby as much
as uny etatc. "
"What do you consider the principal cause
of the Improved business conditions ? " was
asked ,
CAUSE OF DBTTEH Tr.MES.
"Thero are several causes , but I believe
the primary one Is the restoration of con
fidence. The business men throughout the
country have confidence In their own trades ,
in themselves and In each other. They are
not. now afraid that everything Is going to
smash and ruin. Confidence has been To-
stored because the republican party has been
again put Into power. The people hod no
confidence In the democratic rarty and they
made that lack of confidence very manifest.
"The passage of a protective ta'lff ban
helped matters immensely. In our state ,
with its growing Industries , It Is very natural
that the bulk of the voters should be In
favor ot a protective tariff. Not only the-
republican voters , but the majority of the
populists of our state arc protectionists.
They believe In a protective ta'ift thoroughly
and they are going to support the party that
gives It to them. This sentiment wan par
tially responsible for my recent re-election
to the senate "
"What is the outlook of the south , com
mercially , senator ? "
"Tho future of the south commercially
lies In the upbuilding of the manufacturing
Industries there , In my opinion. The factories
must be brought closer to the base of sup-
pile * . The New Engtind pcoplo are already
beginning to appreciate that this Is the
wisest course for them to pursue , and as u
result northern capital Is coming 'into North
Carolina freely for the establishment of
milling plants and other manufactories.
With cotton , with lumber and with other
raw material in Just as abundant rjuantltles ,
It .Is plain to be < = ecn that success lies In
the direction of manufacturing right at home.
That Is the future of the south. Therein
lies Its success. "
W. S. Hyams of North Carolina , secretary ,
and M. W. Hlumenberg of Washington , ot-
llelal stenographer , are In the city with
Senator J. C. P Itchard of North Carolina
and will assist him In the taking of testimony
In the South Omaha Investigation. George
X. Prltchard , a brother of Senate ? Prltchard ,
Is also with the party.
Senator Pritchard and his secretaries spent
yesterday afternoon In South Omaha hunting
up the witnesses who , will testify In the Inves
tigation eoivjcrnlng Iho alleged political dls-
| charges from the nureau of Animal Industry.
I TJey had hoped to get down to work yester
day afternoon , but on account of the absence
, of the compUInant's principal attorney the
I Investigation was postponed till today. It
I will bo commenced this morning at 10 o'clock
| In the committee room on the ground floor of
! the Mlllard hotel. It Is altogether probable
| that elusions will he held morning , afternoon
t and evening. Senator Prltchard Is a hard
! worker himself and ho Is In favor of pushing
the case right through after 1t has once
been begun. It Is thought that the forty
witnesses can bo examined this week.

Time.
A second break occurred In the outlet of
the lagoon at the exposition grounds yester
day. Although the flow of water was tem
porarily stopped when It was first ascertained
that the outlet was worthless , It proved to
tieIneffectual. . The temporary dam was
made by digging down Inside the planking
of the lagoon and by smashing severa'l sec
tions of the twenty-four Inch sewer pipe
which formed the outlet. This system of
repairs under tin * , direction ot 'Superintendent '
Gcruldlne was further perfected by forcing
into this hole In the ground a large number
of sacks fllled with sand. For a time the
flow from thu lagoon ceased , but as soon as
the saivl became saturated thu water con
tinued to fllle'r ' through It and Into the sec
tion of outlet still remaining.
! As a consequence the water lu the lagoon
j fell nearly elx Inches more yesterday , and
j IN still oozing away. Seeing that his work
I had proved futile the superintendent passed
| the whole affair up as a bad Job and called In
I Contractor J. F. Daley , to take charge ot It.
' Although the oullet was originally laid by
Mr. Udley he coifed ! himself nonplussed
last evening when ho made an attempt to
make the lagoon water tight.
UALEY GIVES IT UP.
With the assistance of n ni'an Mr. Haley
opened up the manhole leading Into the
outlc : about forty feet distant from the la-
Eoon and attempted to stop the outllow by
cramming tacks of sanl Into the twenty-four
Inch pipe. He n-'ight ' as twell have trled to
atop Niagara. No sooner were the flimsy
barriers placed Into position than the press
ure of water Hung them aside anl tlie lower
ing of the lagoon went merrily onward.
The effort to stop the flow of water was
glvoii up at C o'clock last evening.
When questioned upor. . the subject Con
tractor Daluy admitted that the outlet would
have to bo entirely rebuilt. He said tlut
when the leak was first discovered
Superintendent Gcraldluc had proposed
building a colter dam around the outlet and
thus keplng the water now In the lagoon
while repairs wore being made. Tnla , how
ever , had proved to be Impractical both as
to cost and results obtained. The piun was
thrcforc abandoned. Superintendent Geral-
dlno had alro decided to move the Intake
from Its present position In the grand basin
to a point at the head ot the outlet Inside of
the planking of the lagoon. In order to do
this It was found necessary to let all the
water out of the lagoon. The work of over
a month In filling the big lake Is thus en
tirely wasted In addition to fie expense of
reconstructing the outlet. The sacks ot
sand will be taken out of the hole in which
has been located the temporary dam , and It
Is expected that the work of letting out the
rest of the water In the lagoon will be
started this morning. It Is probable that
this will consume several days.

CitiixoN the ArrvHt of an I'lifulllifill
Woman's trustfulness and man's duplicity
were the prime factors which entered Into
a love gtorj- which was exploited in police
circles yesterday. George nolarls , a French
hair dresser , has been arrested on a charge
of larceny as bailee of a watch a pair of
diamond earrings nnd a couple of linger
rings belonging to Antoinette Thruvoe. This
la not all , for Miss Thruvoe wants a renewal
of the old affection which In times past
Ilolaris has bestowed upon her. To still
further complicate matters HolarlH took to
himself a wlfo yesterday In the person ot
Miss Etta Harrison , a cornet performer in
a. local place of amusement.
Nearly six years ago , Mies Thruvoe as
serts , when hc was a mere girl of Ifi ,
nolarls met and won her. She consented
to travel with him to this city and ever
since they have lived together aa man and
wife. Not long ago Dolarls on various pre
texts obtained possession of the Jewelry
named , which Is valued at about $10U-and (
notwithstanding repeated demands were
made upon him to return the same , he con
tinued to keep It.
During hs ! Idle moments , which appear to
have been many , nolarls met Miss Harrison
and eh" fell a victim to his blandishments.
They were legally married yesterday.
Bolarls admits having the Jewelry , but
maintains that Miss Thruvoe rnado him a
present of it. IJolarls gave bonds for his
Appearance In police court later.

Some of the members of the Hoard ot
Public Works are not entirely satisfied with.
the action of the city council Monday In
granting Hugh Murphy an extension of his
contract for the South Sixteenth street re-
paving. This action was taken without re
ferring the request to a committed and1
against the advlco ofthe city engineer.
- H Is inserted that If 'Mr. Murphy had
really wanted to pave thb street this year , ho'
could have been ready to begin work as soon
as the thirty days allowed lor no designation
of material expired. There nro only about ,
17.000 yards of asphalt to be laid under this !
contract , while there ore still nearly 25,000
yards to bo laid on Farnam street. Tho.
property owners on South Sixteenth street
have had their strnnt tcru up since early last
spring and now that the paving hid been
postponed for another year , they are dropping
In on the board to register emphatic protests.
It Is also stated that t.ic extension should
not have been granted by the council until
after the written consent ot the sureties on
Mr. Murphy's bond had been tiled. This la
.advised on the ground that the extension.
constitutes a change In the contract und
raises the legal proposition whether the
obligation of the sureties Is ivjt discharged
when the change Is made without their con-
Kcnt.
Kcnt.Tho position of the contractor In the matter
Is that he Is a property owner on the slreet
and Is as anxious to have It paved this year
as unyone , but lie cannrt begin work until
after the Omatra Street Hallway company has
practically .cumplo'cd the reconstruction ot
Its- tracks , ind ho dees not want to take
chances on doing an Inferior job by laying
asphalt after cold wnither has set In.

submit a proposition to vote $300,000 In.
bonds. for the erection of a now High school
building la not feasible ; at this time.
At the last meeting of'tho Hoard of Edu
cation a special cornuilttcx was designated
to draw up the farm if proposition and. sub
mit It to the buird at a special meeting to
night. It will re | iili-i' ten votes to approve
the proposition , and as It b now opposed by
a strong minority. It Is likely that the whole.
matter will bo turned down.
Thu members who oppose the plan stata
that they are as much In fav r of the erec
tion of a new High school building us nny-
oe , but that to submit Hit preposition at
this late day would be to Invite defeat and
glvit the entire Bclieme a black eye. They
say that the matter lias not been , sulllclently
agitated. They , therefore , advlup letting It
drop until another year , when the pcoplo
have been made more gc-ni'i-ally familiar with
the necessity for a new building.
