( Special. ) The p- t > aratu for lighting up the rotunda and lower hallway ot the capital building , which was put la to belt ) furnish the display at the Bryan reception In July , 1696 , still remains lu the building and Is a constant menace , not only to the property of the btatc , but to the lives of citizens. The wires were run down from the dome and a temporary woodca frame was put ID , to which was attached eighty Incandescent lights. The wires ore strung along tlio pine frame and In many places the Insulation or covering of the wires in gone , so that when the current Is turned ou , as It Is at every banquet or reception , there la danger of firing Iho woodwork of the building. A lire started there would rise rapidly to the dome , which la mostly built of wood , and would bo altnout luaccossable to the firemen. This situation Is the more orlous when It lu remembered that the state tarrU'a no Insurance on the building or con tents. A few minutes of fire and water In the etato library alone could cause u dam age of $70,000. Hcsldrs the danger of conflagration the electric wires strung lu the building are ver itable limn traia and It Is a wonder that there have not already been accidents from tliIt ; cause. On the second floor within reach of anyone leaning on the rolling of the ro tunda are bare wires which when charged would be almost certain death to the person touching them. The attention of the custo dians ot the building has been called to the electric llretrap , but to far no move has been made cither to remove the apparatus or to put It in a less dangerous condition.

The police commission cose Involving the trouble ) over the discharge of Chief DetectIve - Ivo Cox , was advanced today by the supreme court ou application of the attorney for the commission. Application was mode today to the su preme court for a writ of habeas corpus for the release of Clwrles Heam , who wca re cently sent to the penitentiary from Cumlng couuty for cattle stealing. The writ was Allowed and made returnable March 15. The basis of 'tho ' application Is that the act to ilottno and punish .cattle stealing , which was IMPsed in 1895 , was improperly passed and Is unconstitutional. The claim will be made that the act as signed by the governor was not the eamo In form as when passed by the legislature , the amendment Including hog dealing In the act not having been entered In the enrolled copy of the bill. The seven town mutual companies now doing business In the state had at the close of 1837 risks In force amounting to $3,374,931. Their total Income for the year was $32- 7U1.72 ; expenses , | 21,2GG.35 ; losses paid , J7.C65.25. Thw supreme court has announced a radical chatiKO with reference to motions. Here after ( section G25b of the civil code , which reads as follows , wll ! bo strictly enforced : : Section G23b. Costs may be allowed on a motion or demurrer In. the discretion of the court or Judije. not exceeding $10 , which shall bo absolute against the losing party on such demurrer or motion ; pro vided , that 'this provision shall not apply to verbal motions and demurrer ore , tenus during the course of the trial. Heretofore the tlmo of the court at each cession has been largely taken up corelder- ing motions. These motions In jnany In stances have been exceedingly frivolous. It is thought the enforcement of the provisions of the section of the statute above set out -will have the effect of lessening the number of motions that will bo filed very materially.

LINCOLN LOCAL POLITICS. Contrary lo the predictions of many , the organization of the new republican clubs Is resulting In the unification of the republican factions of the city. Executive committees elected by the Hamilton club , the Abraham Lincoln club , the Young Men'B Republican club mid the Union Veterans have met to gether and succeeded hi agreeing on candi dates for the olllces ot exelsttnen , members of the school board and cemetery trustee. While It Is yet necessary to nominate these candidate * ) at the primaries , the general Im pression now Is tfcat there will be no op- pcslng candidates , and ttiat the republican ticket so nominated will go Into the spring camrnlgin iinhampDred by jcalousUa within the party. The Influence of the clubs Is also being felt In the suggesting ot candidates for councllmon from the various wards. It Is now evident thit the primaries will not witness any exciting contests , and that the ncti nominated c i the republican ticket will 10 the very best that can be selected. This , vlll bo a very happy solution ot the mu- Iclpal problem , which many ( bought would o further complicated by the organization f the tiew republican clubs. The date for the trial of the Impeachment liargca agalnbt Mayor F. A. Graham Is set ' tomorrow , and the CSBO may stir up rouble that will have an effect In the'sprlng lection. Some of Graham's friends have ad- leeil him to follow the example of Kx-olse- naii Valll and resign , but he tias not yet xpressed his Intention ot dolns BO. The iplnlon Is general that .should the mayor ictid In hLs resignation It would have a nothing effect on the situation , and that a nomination could bo made for the vacancy .hat . would further streniethon the repub- Ican ticket. It Is probable that should Mayor Graham contemplate any move of ( tils sort he will ir.oko his Intentions known be- 'oro the Inquiry ca the impeachment charge begins. The different wings and offshoots of the popocratlc crowd have held meetings and are coming to an agreement on a union ticket. iVhlle the usual show of throe separate parties \a \ to DO liejH up with the hopes of catching a few of ( do scattering vote , the candidates on the three fusion tickets will bo the came.

Aside- from the un fortunate situation In regard to grounds , he Is well pleased with the Indications for a successful season and Is satisfied that when one or two lines that are now out are drawn In ho vlll have a team that will bo able to hold Its own. The men have signed con tracts with a few exceptions and ttie signa tures of the remainder are expected In a few days. Manager O'Brien Is especially pleased with his success In securing Chauncey Flshe- from Brooklyn and George Hemming frori Louis ville. Hothinks that they will be- the crack pitchers of the Western League , and , -wlth lagerman and Sullivan , ho considers the aim already In good shape as far as pltch- rs are concerned. Fisher and Hemming lave not signed contracts yet , as the time Imlt has only recently expired , but there s no serious doubt that they will come In ho fold very shortly. The only thing that Is troubling the man agement In this particular Is an alleged wr ens effort on the part of the Chicago man agement to draft Tommy Tucker away from Omaha. It has been said on presumably re- lablo authority that Burns wants Tucker o play first bast and captain the team , but vlth Derker nnd Everett both available for ho position 'Iho story seems somewhat 1m- irobable. In any case Manager O'Brien pro poses to hold on to Tucker If possible. The focond base matter Is still open. H 139 been Impossible to secure Stafford , and float Is still the only man now available or the position. But Manager O'Brien Is icgotlatlng for two National league second end basemen and has an excellent prospect of securing one of them. With a first class second baseman , the team will bo practically complete , although another good pitcher may jo signed If It should devclope that Sullivan will not be fast enough for 'the ' Western . .eague. Several of the Western league clubs would Ike to get McKlnney , but there Is no In tention of letting him go. Loftus and Van- drbcck have both indicated an anxiety to make a deal for the Omaha third baseman , but as he promised to be just as valuable to Dmaha It Is considered advisable to retain tilni. Eustaco Is at Hot Springs getting In condition for the summer and Manager 3'Brlen thinks ho will shuw up fit to play better "ball " than last year. The entire team ivlll report at Omaha about April 1 and Man ager O'Brien wants to have the grounds In shape for practice at that time. In order to do this It will 1)0 necessary to close final arrangements for grounds at once and begin fitting them up not later than March 10. The grounds question will be pushed hard now , and unless some arrange ment is maclo by Which the university grounds can , bo secured within a very few days the Vlnton street grounds will prob ably bo chosen as a matter of necessity. Speaking of this matter Manager O'Brien says ho thinks 'that ' the Omaha business men who take an Interest In base ball should as sist htm In securing grounds that will bo satisfactory alike to tri6 management nnd the public. It Is a matl&r In which all are Interested , nnd It Is undoubtedly true that a llttlo pushing from soaic of the local people - plo will assist very materially In bringing the matter to a focus. The" management Is very naturally anxious to secure a location that will bo satisfactory f6 Its patrons , but as only a llttlo over i. month remains l > e- fore the season opens It Is Imperative that the matter should bo adjusted without addi tional delay. CHICAGO , March 2. ( Special Telegram. ) Chauncey Fisher , the player whose location during the season Is pretty much a matter of doubt , spent today In Chicago. He came from St. Louis. Chauncey averred he could not be Induced under any consideration to go to Omaha , despite the fact that ho tad : been sold toi the westerners by Brooklyn. He visited President Johnson and Owner Schumann In the afternoon In the former's office. The conference was seemingly not productive of an agreement. After It was over Johnson said that when the tlmo came Chauncey would bo on hand , but Chauncey said ho wouldn't , and that's what causes Uie quandary. SC1II < : UUIE OP JV.VTIOXAI. I.K.VCJCE.

Very little wse done during the short morning session of the baseball magnates and they did not really get down to business until 2 o'clock this aft ernoon. The afternoon business was of a perfunctory character and there were no sensational developments. The tlmo was devoted wholly to making changes In the rules and adopting the schedule of games. The majority report submitted by James A. Hart and A. J. Reach was slightly amended , most of the changes being Included In the minority report submitted by Edward Han'- lon ot Baltimore. The changes were adopted unanimously. Most of them , were verbal , and of a minor nature. The more Important were inado to conform to the new rule rel- atlvo to 'tho suppression of rowdyism on the field. The most Important change was the new rule substituted for rule 57 , which reads as follows : "Tho umpire shall perform all the duties devolving upon a single um- plro except giving decisions on first , second and thirds bases and deciding points of play In running such bases , which shall devolve upon the assistant umpire , except as re gards third base , when any other baseIs oc cupied by a base runner , In which event the umpire shall decide all points ot play at third 'base. ' It ehall .bo the duty of the um pires to assist or advise each other In ren dering any decision when asked by the other umpire.
