THE CM AIT A DAILY BEE ; SATURDAY , NOVEMBER 0 , 1807. 5 HAMILTON'S ' HEN AT WORK New Force of Carpenters Second to Take Place of tbo Strikers. BUILDING OF MACHINERY HALL RESUMED -Stride .Sltiintlon nt'tlic ivio < < ltlon ( irnntiilN llriiinliiN L'lu-lmnKCil ConfiTciicc lli'l Tccn C'oiiinild- nloncr Kt-nt nnil Ciiiilriictnr * , Afl evidences nt a strike , on the Machinery buiidlng nt the exposition grounds have dls nppcared. Twenty-five carpenters wcro t work yesterday and the building pre sented an animated appearance. Contractor Hamilton stated that a carload ot Iron which liuil been delaying1 tbo work had arrive J and would tc unloaded at once. The largo posts which will support the roof trusses were being framed by a force of men , and the bo'.U Jn the car in question will bo ufaIn \ these pests. The delay In receiving this Iron has interfered with the erection of the central dome which will form the main entrance of thin building and thin work will bo pushed nt the sumo time thnt the root Is being put on. Referring to the strike , Mr. Hamilton said that thn strlko committee had misrepre sented somewhat In saying that he was the only contractor on the ground who was stand- log out against the demands of the car penters. Ho pioduccd a card on which nppcared the Hlgnaturc of W. H. Pnrrlsh , contractor of the Liberal Arts building , under a atitcmcnt to the effect that ho had no In tention of paying carpenters n ifiat rate of 30 centa per hour or ot working eight hours per day on ll-e Liberal Arts building. Mr. Hamil ton said this wns a direct contradiction of the statement reported to have been made by tl.p strlko committee that Mr. I'arrlsh would agree tn tilt demands. He nlso stated that P. J. Crccclon , contractor fur the Auditorium , had told him that ho would not employ a union man If bo knew him to be such. "Them are some men employed by mo who am being paid .10 cents per hour and others who are not getting that much. Some ot the work is of such a character that almost nny- ono can do It , and there Is no money tn payIng - Ing high prices tor work that a cheap man can do just as welt. I have an entire new force with the exception of two men , who havu been taken back and two or three who did not strike. I have a better furco than before , and will not consider any proposition whl"h would rompel mo to dlsdiargo thcso men. "I um satisfied , " continued Mr. Hamilton , "that if this matter is settled by giving In to the carpenters , that they would .soon find something else to strlko for. They think that If they can force the eight-hour rule the sur plus labor would be absorbed. The next thing thby would do would be to strike for 40 cents per hour. I dove learned from good author ity that some of the leading men' among the carpenters have- boasted that they would get 60 cents an hoiir out of the exposition before the work U finished. I believe that this thing must bo met , und i am In favor of blngins U. to an Issue at once and having It settled.

The main cornlco has been completed along the entire front , the ornamental finish nbovo the cornice Is In place on the west wing and the plastering of the plain surfaces onthis wing Is well under way. The coverIng - Ing ot the columns of the entrance dome Is being pul on the skeleton framework and the Interior of the demo Is being covered with the white stucco. Work has been commenced on both ends of the bu'ldlng ' by the staff workers and a showing has been madq. The time Is fast approaching when It will bo Impossible for the plasterers to work on the plain surtaccs on the outside ofthe building on account of frost and the part of this work remaining unfinished will have to bp postponed until spring. The car penter work Is progressing , the roof being put en the outer portions of the building. The - trussesblch will support the central part ot the roof have not yet been put up.

The day was designated , at the request of the Women's 'Board ' ot Managers of the exposition , ns the occasion In which the contributions of the children toward the erection of the Boys' and Girls' building should be banded In. A number of handsome prizes have been pro vided which will be awarded to the schools thnt make the best showing In the competi tion. Any contributions that were not handed In yoatardtty will not bo considered In the competition. No reports have yet been re ceived In regard to the success of the plan In the schools , but from the Interest that has been manifested by the children and ttielr parents It Is expected that the aggregate re sult of the Cay's contributions will reach a very respctable sum.

In the latter case eight-Inch lumber Is used and the boards .are pla-ced eight Inches apart , leaving open spaces oetwccn , and the lath for the plaster forming the covering of the building are nailed on tlirso strips. In the Nebraska building the sheeting Is placed close together without any Intervening space , taking twice the quantity of lumber required by the other method.

Unity nf Jitinr * MplioU I-Mnlictl Out if ( In.AllnNOurl , The body of James Nichols was found floating the Missouri river yesterday after noon by a fisherman. The latter , W. 11. Sims , WJB bolting his trout line , four miles south of the city , near Gibson station , when he dis covered the form ot Nichols In the current. Ho dragged It to a sand bar and notified the coroner. An examination of the dead man revealed thn name of J. Nichols In India Ink on his collar band and his full name was given In a note contained In a pocket. The paper was stained and discolored , but the following re- ' nue'st was declpcred : "You will do me a favor by letting Mr. James Nichols have my mall. Mrs. Mattle U. Sykes. " illelow was written , "Train , from St. Louis. " Uiesidos thrf writing a number of old' coins were founJ on the body. One was a penny dated Straits Settlement , a colony In lower Hlndoostnn. There was n 2-rels piece milled In Spain In 1831 , Hesldes these and a dozen old United States cents , of the large size , thcro was no money found. One pocket con tained a number ot ancient pln-flro car tridges. A largo folding store key and a horse chestmit completed Nlchol's posses sions. The dead man was rust middle life and below avcmge height. Ho was dressed In summer clothing , which was thought to Indi cate that the body hail been In the water a considerable length of time. He wore no coat , but there wcro no marks on the body pointing to violence. The authorities could find no corresponding name In the directory and as yet have failed to ascertain -tho dead man's personality. They consider It possible tint tJio body may have traveled from up the river , even us far as Sioux City , as It might have avoided all sand bars above the ono near Gibson station. The bar on which the body was floated Is well situated for the lodgement of floaters and has Intercepted four during the last year. Ono wus that of a colored girl and two others were Infants. It Is an extensive one and bears the Incongruous name of Pysche's Island. It was necessary to carry -tho body of N-lchols over a quarter of a mile of un trustworthy sand to gain the mainland.

The meeting of the Centra J-abor union last night was spent In the rehearsal of the diffi culty which the Brewers' ucilou has been having during the last two years with Its employers. When the strike occurred at the beginning of that period a boycott was de clared by the Central Labor body. This , It Is Raid , has not been lived up to and In addl. tlon the Omaha Brewing association has formed a union of Its own and reftwes to employ all outslJo of this organization. Ac cordingly , the striking brewers feel that they are making Indifferent progress and complain that organized labor haa grown lukewurm lu their support. The remarks of the brewers bore fruit , and a committee of three , con sisting of F. M. Youngs , Joseph Bayerd and V. B. Klnney was appointed to confer with the brewing cmpUycrs and endeavor to adjust the matter The credentials of J. W. Youngs and J. P. Hayes of the Machinists' union 'wero ' favor ably acted upon and were those of E. E. Ed- helm from the Plumbers' union. The old trouble of the theater employes reappeared , and Messrs.

" JUDGES QUIT THEIR JOBS DcfT the Judicial Ditrnitjr and Leave Their Oity Hall Quarters. MIMIC PAL COURT GOES OUT OF BUSINESS of ilic SuiiriMiir Cunrt No ! Only aotiiptlcnfri Matter * , but Innurrx n llnrvrnl for the J In obedience to tlio decision of the supreme court the municipal court , which has occupied quarters on the fourth floor of the city hall for scvur.it months past , turned up Its official toes yesterday ami Judges Magney , Wnro anil Durnam and Clerk Cosgrovo became plain everyday citizens. TIic decision that the law by which the court was created was unconstitutional was some what unexpected to the Judges , who had con- fldcntly anticipated that the supreme court would take a different view of the case. Nevertheless , they promptly proceeded to pack up their papers and by the middle of the forenoon their offices In the city hall wore dcoertcd. They turned the keys over to Custodian Sodgwlck and passed down nnd out. taking with them only their pcrsoual papers and tl.o Judicial prefix which con- sltutcd the only souvenir of their brief enjoyment of the Judicial prerogative. The city ofllcliils , who were removed to less com modious quarters to make room for the municipal court , will be allowed to move back to their old ofUcca , as 'the ' dissolution , of the new court haa been complete. In regard to thu litigation that lias been adjudicated by the court during Its brief Icuse of life there la likely to bo an em barrassing controversy. The Judges unite In the assertion that whllo the cases that still remain ou their dockets will hive to betaken taken to eonio other court the judgments that have been rendered will stand. City Attorney Conncll Is equally positive that no act of the municipal court will have force , now that the law by which It was created hus been declared unconstitutional. He as serts that In the light ot yesterday's decision the municipal court has had no more power to deliver judgments than , any moot court that might bo organized In a law school. lie says that all the cases that have been tried before the municipal Judges represent an absolute waste of time and that the Judg ments rendered are not worth the papei they are written on. As parties who have obtained favorable decisions will be anxious that those decisions should stand , while others will bo equally desirous that they should be nullified , the validity ot the transactions of the municipal court while the question ot Its constitutionality was pending will probably be made an Issue In the district court. This question U also Important to the officers of the Abolished court In that It Involves their right to collect the fees from which their salaries arc to be paid. The dissolution of the municipal court Is particularly gratifying to the Justices ot the peace , whoso emoluments ot olllco were il- most entirely taken away by that tribunal. The great bulk ot the business Wwt has pre viously been adjudicated in justice court bis either been taken to the municipal court or held In abeyance until the question of con stitutionality was settled. The effect of the decision lr to Immediately throw the entire volume of this litigation back Into the justice courts and the justices have prospects of all the business that they ca'n attend to for some time to come. The eflcct Is also visible In the county court , from which fully three-fourths of the civil business had been transferred by the municipal court law. Since the now court bis been In operation the civil business In county court haa been so light that the fees .havo not been sufficient to pay the expenses , but now It Is expected that the volume of business will return to the former standard. AMUSEMENTS. If Robert Mantell bo not quite "the only American exponent ot the romantic drama. " as the play bill modestly claims , he Is at least an octor of romantic roles of whom many pleasant things have boon said at one time and another , and many hopes enter tained for growth nnd fuller fruition. He comes this acajou after n year or two of absence , bringing a. pluyi which Is not likely either to Increase the number of agree'ablc compliments or to encourage fond bxpes of Mr. MantcM's development. The piece Is tin- work of one \V. A. Tremayne , and Is called "A Secret Win-ant. " The time Is that of the financiering schemes of John Low , antl the scene France. "A Secret Warrant" Is full 'of people rushing In and out of doors , uttering platitudinous sentiments , calling ono another "Mosseer , " escaping noisily on horseback and doing all sorts of things at the stroke of the clock. Hands readily find their way to rapiers and God Is frequently adjured to sivo the dramatis personae from the unfortunate situation Into which their own folly or the evils of villains have led them. The piece Is not well constructed , well written nor , save by two or three of the members of the company , well played. Nevertheless , the largo audience last night seemed to like the performance. Mr. Mantell , as has been suggested , docs- not appreciably enhance his reputation by his work In the roa ! of Louis dc Itoiumont. Ho is decidedly n , wooden soldier of fortune. Miss Behrens , on the contrary. Is Interesting , Ingenuous and as effectiveas the author permits In the part of Marguerite.

Yesterday nfternAon-xt lloyd's theater the Omaha Orchestral ) rwlety g.jve Its second concert In the presence , ot n lamentably small audience. It Is a fact that very many musi cal people knew nothing of Mr. Adclmann's concert nnd therefore were not present to hear It. A marked Improvement was noticeable over the- first performance. The numbers on the program were nrorcr In reach ot the players nnd the good effects ot several rehearsals was easily discernible. The work of the strings was nt times really fine and the horns did not need to Issue so many search warrants after Initial notes. Mr. Ailelmnnn Is perfectly nt home In the lighter order of music nnd leads his men to some fine effects when ho hlmsblf bis n conception of them , but whou he simply beats tlmo whllo they wander through n succession of meaningless notes the effect Is not satisfactory to the listeners or creditable to him or his men. This was the case In the processional from the second not of "l/ohoiiRrln , " which was * taken at much too slow a tempo and was played throughout la a lifeless ; expression less" manner that dime near making ono ot the most beautiful compositions ever written tedious and tiresome. The overturns to "Don Junn" and "Strn- della" were well plaved ami the Hungarian Kantalslc was a rcvolatlin of light nnd shade , variety ot rythm , unity and precision. The work of the strings In the g-ivott by Olllet made It the gem of the concert. It should have followed the Flirtation waltz , not pre ceded It. Master Karl Smith was the soloist of the occasion nnd demonstrated moro plainly than heretofore the extent ot his remarkable talent. He played with the orchestra ( which accompanied him skilfully and with a sub dued tone that was In. the best of taste ) the Cioltermaim concerto for vlollncello and ex hibited clear technique , accurate Intonation , superb bowing nnd a conception o3 the work that speaks well for his musicianship. Mr. Adelmann will give his next concert In Boyd's theater Friday afternoon. Novem ber 19. It Is to bo hoped that the public will bo allowed to know ot this concert before - fore It Is over and that those who enjoy music will he present. The upbuilding ot orchestral anuslo In this city will bo coinci dent with the development of public appre ciation. A musical and literary program of unusual excellence was presented by the members of the Lowe Avrniue Presbyterian church to an audience which completely filled the neat llt- tlo edifice last night. Those who attended came prepared for a treat , and they were not disappointed. Applause was frequent and long continued , and many of the entertainers were obliged to repeat their numbers. The first on the program was a piano duet by Miss Clam niumer and Mrs. Zlmmer. A IMSS solo by Dr. It. W. llalley followed , and and was one of the best selections given during the evening. "The Land of Swal lows , " n duet by Mrs. Llpplncott and Mrs Campbell nf Lincoln , received Its meed of praise , as also did the violin solo by J. I. Cook , with Miss Nettle Haverly as accompati- Ist. A recitation -by Jessie Brown Dorward was given In the tinral good form of this well-known elocutionist and1 was followed by a contralto eolo by Miss Divld A. Campbell. The first portion iof the program was com pleted with a solo by Miss Getty. The "Elegle. " a violin solo by J. I. Cook ; "Tlio Night Tlmd , " a tenor solo by W. H. Wilbur ; a soprano solo by Mrs. Charles A. Llpplncott , a piano solo by special request by MIsg Cara ! Hawley nnd a vocal duct com pleted a most enjoyable evoulng's program. Beginning on- Monday evening , Julia Mar lowe will appear-In aiJour days' , engagement at Boyd's theater , . Her admirers will see her In three widely , different roles Mary , the daughter of.xMigus ; Juliet ot the Capu- lets , and Parthenln. It has been arranged to divide the engagements as follows : Mon day and Tuesday evenings nnd Wednesday matinee. "For Bonnie I'llnce Charlie ; " Wednesday evening , "Romeo nnd Juliet , " and Thursday evening , "Ingomnr. " The first named play Is the latest addition to Miss Marlowe's repertory. Everywhere It has been received .with . favor , end an especial com- mendatlnn ot It has been that It gives Miss Marlowe the greatest opportunity of her career. "Romeo and Juliet" will be put on magnificently , special attention being paid to the scene'ry and costume ? . "Ingomar" has not been offered by Miss Marlowe for sotno years , ami those who remember her success as "IVirthcnla" will welcome Us icvlval. The A. Y. Pearson Stock company will play n , week's engagement at the Crelghton , beginning next Monday night , when "Tho White Squadron" ' will be presented. "The Police Patrol" Is the bill announced for Tuesday evening and the Saturday matinee , "Tho Land of tlio Midnight Sun" for the performances on Wednesihy , "A Midnight Alarm" for Thursday evening , "The District Fair" for Friday , and "She" for Saturday , closing the engagement.

STIRS UP RAILROAD CIRCLES Moro Stories of the Disposition of Road Under Oidon oF Pnlo. RUMORED LEASE OF THE KANSAS PACIFIC Itoiiort Hint .T. IMrrpnnt Slurprnn Mnj- Sci'iinthe 1.1 no nml Operate It In Unnnpptlnti the Alton Ho ml. The announcement that J. Plerpont Morgan Is negotiating tor the Icaso ot the Kansas Pacific to the Chicago ft. Alton tor a long term of years created a little flurry In rail road circles bore. Nothing official lias been received or Is expected on the matter by the management of the Union 1'aclflc In thl city. A representative of the Union Pa cific , In speaking of the matter yesterday , said : "There have been so many rumors to the effect tb/H the Altoa would absorb the Kansas Pacific that ono scarcely knows how to take this report. We know nothing about It hero. " Other railroaders regard the report as prob ably correct. The Chicago & Alton has for a long time operated through sleeping and chair cars from Chicago to Denver , via Its own line to Kansas City nnd over the Kan sas Pacific from tluro to Denver. This Is a fast train , and the service has always been regarded as exceptionally good. The train Is the fastest between Chicago nnd Denver , via Kansas City. This through service over the Alton and the Kansas Pacific has brought the lines closely together , and that they should form a clcso compact and bo absorbed under ono management la a report that Is generally given credence by railroaders here. Special Master Cornlsii postponed the sale of the Kansas Pacific , which was to have taken place Thursday , until Thursday. De cember 1C. The greatest fear ot the Union Pacific reorganization committee has been that congress , assembling before the date fixed for the sale of the Kansas Pacific , would take up the matter nnd seriously Inter rupt the committee's carefully laid plans. The kaso to the Chicago & Alton would al together change matters. As pointed out by well posted railroad men here , such a lease would place the Kansas Pacific In the hands of J. Plerpont Morgan , , but through another medium than the Union Pacific reor ganization committee. KV.VXS * HKlllS SEKIC THU COUNTS. Auk that Sale of Union I'lu-lllc Heel Coil llrm I'll. The suit ot the Evans heirs of Arapahoe county , Colorado , against the receivers of the Union Pacific for the recovery of certain lands In dispute Is engaging the attention of the United States circuit court and of representatives ot the government , of the Union Pacific , and ot Its reorganization com mittee at St. Paul. Those who left hero Thursday to be present at the hearing before Judge Walter Sanborn nt St. Paul were : General John C. Cowln , special counsel for the government ; AVIlllara H. Kelly , general solicitor for the Union Pa cific , and Wlmslow S. Pierce , attorney , and Lawrence W. Greer , assistant attorney , for the Union Pacific's reorganization committee. The suit Is ot Importance at this tlmo because of Its possible effect on the con firmation of the Union Pacific foreclosure sale. The plaintiffs In the suit originally asked that an Injunction against the sale -bo granted. Now It is asked that the sale held here the early part of the present week bo not confirmed. The dispute Is over lands which Green , a director of the Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf railroad , Is alleged to have sold to himself. 'His attorneys. Teller and Smith , appeared before Judge Sanborn yesterday to defend bl # rights to the lands which would bo adversely affected were the sale to be confirmed. It Is not regarded as probable that the suit of the Evans heirs will In any way In terrupt the Union Pacific foreclosure pro ceedings. Any Interruption of the confirma tion of the sale will be vigorously opposed by the representatives of the Union Pacific and of the reorganization committee. It was the news of this suit that was sprung by those opposing the foreclosure Hilo of the Union Pacific , Just before the sale was made , as certain evidence that the sale would not be held. It Is to this suit that those opposed to the Union Pacific sale now look for an Interruption of the confirmation. The con sensus of opinion among those most familiar with the foreclosure proceedings Is that they will not be Interrupted nor the confirmation postponed. Krom St. Paul , Wlnslow S. Pierce , attor ney , and Lawrence W. Grecr , assistant attor ney ot the Union Pacific reorganization com mittee , will proceed to New \orit , wnero tne offices of tbo committee are located.
