Shootlnir.
An Inquest was held yesterday afternoon
by Coroner Swunson over the remains of
Thomas KlrMuml , who was shot and killed
Momlny night by Thomas Sullivan.
Sullivan volunteered a statement In which
ho told the Jury that when he left Walter
llrandes * saloon with the revolver ho "really
did not Intend to shoot anybody , " but sim
ply "to scare the negroes. " Suddenly , how
ever , a missile of some kind flew past him
and seeing a man turn the corner of Leaven-
worth onto South Tctlth street , and sup
posing It was he who had thrown the mis
sile , ho shot at him. It proved to bo his
friend , Thomas Klrkland. Sullivan almost
broke down when he reached the climax of
his statement. There were tears In his eyes
and he choked with emotion. His state
ment was given toward the last.
The witnesses called were 1'otlccman
William II. Storey of 2231 Farnam street ,
on whoso beat the killing occurred ; a burly
negro named Thad Lockley , whose home Is
at S08V6 South Tenth ; Locklcy's mulatto
wife ; Hob Samuels , a little shiny faced
black ; Mrs. Clara Hill , white , a widow liv
ing with the Lockleys ; Police Sergeant
Daniel \V. Her , Walter Drandcs , the propri
etor of the saloon In front of which the
aftalr occurred ; his bartender , W. R. Dell ;
James Tadlocjt , a peddler , and his wife , who
occupy adjoining oppartmcnts In the same
building where Klrkland and Sullivan Uved ,
1019 Leavenworth street ; Esther Hultberg ,
the young woman with whom Sullivan has
been consorting and who was with him all
during the evening.
Only I'oliit In Controversy.
A point over which there was a conflict
of "testimony was as to whether the negroes
had thrown a stone or brick at Sullivan or
not. Lockley and Samuels said they did
not , but Tadlock eald Samuels did throw a
stone at Sullivan and the latter himself
seemed of the opinion that Lockley , thu big
negro , struck him with a missile of some
kind In the left breast , which , ho said , felled
him to the sidewalk.
From the evidence It was gathered that
the whole matter originated In Sullivan's
having words with Losklcy's wife and the
Hill woman about 9:30 : p. m. , over their
picking up some shingles back of Brandes'
Edlcnn for kindling wood. They talked bock
to him and threatened to send their hus
bands to settle with him. Ho had been
drinking beer and also whisky , BO the Hult
berg woman said , and applied some vile
epithets to them. They went home and sent
Samuels to take him to task. Samuels saw
Sullivan had n knife In one hand and a
brick In the other and thus frightened him
out of any desire for further trouble , so he
went back. But he returned with Lockley ,
whom ho had just met coming homo from
Eomo errand.
Sullivan asked them If they wanted trou
ble , telling them If they did he was the
"king of all the niggers. " They Eald they
were not looking for any fight and according
to their story , left him for good.
Subsequently and just before the shootIng -
Ing , the little negro , Samuels , returned to
the saloon. Sullivan was there and attacked
him , catching Jilm by the neck an-1 collcr
and tearing his clothes. Samuels got away
and ran some distance from the saloon ,
Sullivan after him. Officer Storey saw the
scufllo and chase , but attached no Impor
tance to the matter at the time until the
shooting. It was during the chose of Sam
uels , Sullivan said , that ho ( Sullivan ) was
felled by a stone thrown by someone.
AccontitN Differ Hoinewlmt.
Immediately , from the story told by Sul
livan himself and Tadlock and Bartender
B < 11 , Sulllvnn rushed back Into the saloon ,
got a revolver from behind the bar , went
out and shot , but while Tadlock testified
that Sulllvnn said he was "going out to
shoot Eomc nigger , " Sullivan says hp novel
Intended to fire the weapon until a rock 01
(
brick flow by him and he saw a man com
ing around the corner. Officer Storey , whc
saw the pistol flash and the victim full
said It was quite light In that vicinity al
the time. It was about 11 p. m. A brlcl.
was found on the sidewalk. Bell was nol
able to keep Sullivan from getting the pistol
tel and going out with It.
No sooner had Sullivan discharged th (
pistol than ho ran back and threw th <
weapon Into the saloon on the floor , crylnf
out : "Oh , God , I've shot my best friend
Tom Klrkland ! "
There were no shells or cartridges In th (
.revolver when It was picked up. Sulllvar
had tended bar for Brandes and knew
\vhero to look for a pistol. Nobody couk
Bay whether all the chambers of the pinto
had been filled or not. It was ono of two
kept by Ilrandci.
The Tadlocks said there had never been
nny trouble between Sullivan and Klrklnml
ono lived upstairs and the other down.
Klrkland had gone out ostensibly to pur
chase some tobacco. Mrs. Tadlock said he
had been drinking slightly as his wife had
taken her trunk and left that day without
Telling him. Sullivan said he had known
Klrkland ten yeara as an Intimate friend.
Esther Hultberg testified to seeing a knife
and a brick In Sullivan's hands at the first
quarrel with the negroes.
After * ome time spent In deliberating the
jury fixed upon Sullivan the responsibility
for Kirkland's death , and recommended
holding him to the district court.
An attempt by Sullivan to show that his
left breast wa made "black and blue' " by
the contact with the stone which ho said
hit him was not satisfactory. His skin did
not show anw discoloration that was con
vincing.

YOUIIK Olrl on North Twonty-
Scconil Street.
The perils that attend women who ven
ture unprotected on the streets after night
fall , un > : r the present Inefficient condition
of the police , were shown In a brutal assault
upon Minnie Nelson , a young girl on her
way home to 2827 Cass street , shortly be
fore 10 o'clock last night. She was sel/ed
by a negro at the corner of Twenty-socond
and Chicago streets and half strangled and
badly bruised before the citizens of the
neighborhood , most of whom were titling
on their porches , came to her rescue.
The girl Is a domestic In the family of
H. W. Inghram , and left the house after
supper to attend a friend to the depot.
After the train had left Miss Nelson went
to the home of Mrs. Olson , on Eighteenth
and Mason streets , where she stayed until
9 o'clock. She then walked north to Chicago
cage and turned west. At the top of the
steep hill ending at Twenty-second street
the girl paused for a moment and then
started on the descent toward Twenty-
third street. She had gone only a few paces
when she noticed a black object apparently
crouched close to the fence tn front of her.
As she endeavored to pass a negro sprang
to his feet and catching the girl around the
waist , threw her heavily to the ground.
Her head struck the curb and her forehead
and left eye were badly bruised and dis
colored. She screamed several times , but
the rufllan stilled her outcries by the
pressure of his fingers on her throat. When
her assailant cased the crip on her throat
she screamed once more for help.
Ben B. Wood , Thomas Kllpatrlck , Lewis
M. Bennett and other citizens were sitting
on their porches with their families when
they heard the girl's cries of terror. The
negro saw that the neighborhood was
aroused and released his victim. The girl
says that even after he had started away
ho turned once more as If Incensed with
her screams and desirous of once more
silencing them , Several of the men named ,
however , were approaching and the negro
ran a halt block north on Twenty-second
street and escaped east down the alley.
The girl was picked up fainting and hys
terical and taken to the residence of
Thomas Kllpatrlck , 410 North Twenty-sec
end street , where she remained until she
bad partially recovered her composure. Her
hand still held a tiny pocketbook containing
35 cents and which the assailant had been
unable to wrest from her.
The girl was later taken to her home ,
where she Is still In a hysterical condition.
She describes her assailant as a short ,
heavily built negro , wearing dark clothes
and a slouch hat. She Is quite certain that
he was not intoxicated and obtained such
a good view of him that she believes she
would recognize him on sight.
Although .the cries of the girl are de-
scrlbed as the most agonized shrieks , no
policeman heard the outcry or was attracted
to the scene. The neighborhood for blocks
around was aroused and startled , but no
Inquiries were made by the police depart
ment until the matter was reported some
tlmo later.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Initiative and Ecferendnm Petition is Sent
to the Files.
ADOPTS REPORT OF JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
Effort to Have ( he Matter Drought
Up at the Itcunlnr Election Palla
GnrlinKC Matter Agnln
Caune * Trouble.
The effort of John 0. Yelser and others to
get the council to call a special election1
for the submission of the Initiative and
referendum questions to the voters of
Omaha felt the "weight of City Attorney
Connell's foot last night. He returned the
petition with the objection that It was de-
ectlvo in that It had not the necessary
number of signatures of qualified electors.
Accordingly ho concurred In the judiciary
committee's report recommending simply
he filing of the document.
Mr. Conncll explains that the special clec-
lon desired by the Initiative and referen
dum enthusiasts would entail an expense
upon the taxpayers amounting to $10,000 or
$12,000.
Later on Councilman Lobcck sent up a
resolution providing for the submission of
he question at the regular election In No
vember , Inasmuch as though there Is not
ho 20 per cent of voters signed to the po-
Itton necessary for a special election there
s at least 15 per cent. A debate on this
natter was avoided by Mr. Lobeck permit-
ing his resolution to be referred to the
udlclary committee.
Yelser threatens to mandamus the city
and thus try to force a special election. .
CiiirluiKC Contract Up AKnlit.
There were Indications of a possible storm
on the garbage contract matter. Council
man Lobeck , while a pile of routine busi
ness was being disposed of , had slipped In
a resolution calling for an Investigation by
ho city attorney of the charges against the
; arbago contractor of four times violating
its contract. In case the city attorney
ound it true that -the contractor had been
convicted In any city court of a violation
Mr. Lobeck's resolution demanded that
steps be taken toward the absolute annul
ment of the contract.
Mr. Bechcl moved reference to the Judlc-
ary committee and Mr. Stuht at once fol-
owcd with n motion to reconsider. Points
of order were raised , but finally Mr. Bechol
moved the tabling of the motion to recon
sider and this carried , Messrs. Burkley ,
. .obeck and Stuht voting no.
Among the communications was ono from
Icalth Commissioner Spaldlng calling atten
tion to the dumping of garbage and refuse
matter about 200 yards above the Izard
street pumping station. The city receives
6,000,000 gallons of water dally from this
source. He suggested that either the dump-
ng of garbage there would have to be
stopped to avoid disease or the city would
lave to discontinue the use of water from
he Izard street station. The matter was re
ferred to the city attorney and the judiciary
committee.
A bid through W. A. Barnett of Toledo , O. ,
was received from Spltzcr & Co. , offering to
: akc $300,000 of the 4 per cent twenty-year
mprovement funding bonds. Spltzer & Co.
offered a premium of $3,550 and accrued In
terest , accompanying this offer with a de
posit of $3,000 to show Its good faith. The
bid was accepted on Councilman Bechel's
resolution , Burkley and Stuht voting against
the acceptance , The refusal of W. J. Hayes
& Sons of Cleveland to take the Improve
ment bonds was subsequently filed.
Working Up SliicirnlkM.
Considering that large numbers of vis
itors are now flocking Into the city to see
the exposition , members of the council
manifested more than usual zeal In side
walk matters , and a great deal of this busi
ness was ground through the council mill.
However , at one time it became necessary
to call upon City Engineer Rosowntcr for
his opinion as to the city's power to com
pel putting down of brick walks where the
street had not been graded. Mr. Rosewater
said the city could not compel the laying
of brick walks In such cases.
With regard to the assessment of
$4,234.10 taxes against the federal govern-
mcnt- the city attorney gave It as his opin
ion that nothing could be done until con
gress could be Induced to make an appro
priation covering the matter. Cincinnati , he
said , was In the same dilemma as Omaha.
President Blngham suggested that Mr.
Connell draw up a petition and have Rcpre-
sentatlvo Mercer push It In congress. The
council , however , did not take further
action.
The city hall ordinance providing for the
employment of a tuperlntendent and four
janitors , as amended by the public buildings
committee to give , the superintendent $ ! )0 ) < ]
per annum , Instead of $65 per month , and
the Janitors $50 , Instead of $45 per month ,
was passed.
The Kessler contract for the repairing ol
water troughs and drinking fountains ( $100
for J898 and $273 for 1899) ) was accepted
and approved.
The mayor sent in his approval of the
park ordinance covering nuisances and con
duct of animals , and that regulating shows
and fixing license rates.
HoftTH to General Loire.
A communication was submitted by
Mayor Moorcs on the death , last Wednesday ,
of General W. W. Lowe. In referring to
General Lowe's military record , the mayor
pointed to the fact that the four companies
of cavalry furnished by Nebraska during the
civil war became a part of the Fifth Iowa
cavalry , of which General Lowe was colonel.
General Lowe continued In the army until
18C9 , when ho resigned and settled In
Omaha. In conclusion , the document con
tained the following eulogy :
General Lowe , during his nearly thirty
years' residence In Omaha , has been Inter
ested In every enterprise which promlbed tc
hrlp the city. He was public spirited and
generous ami gave liberally of his time anO
money to further the public Interests. He
was a gallant soldier , a faithful citizen and
a etauuch friend. Ills loss will bo. deeplj
felt in our city.
On Councilman Bechcl's motion , seconded
by Councilman Burmester , the , documenl
! was ordered spread upon the records elI
I the council.
Next Monday being Decoration day , tlu
regular committee meeting will be held or

An Aid to n Prom * UmlrrHlanillnK of
the Wtantlon.
The war with SpAlB , so far resulting In
he brilliant victory -if Admiral Dewcy In
tlanlla bay , has cxnttred public Intercut
upon the United Btatfts navy. This great
naval battle. mhtcB > 'n4rled another name to
ho list of naval terms and demonstrated
he efficiency of American tcamanshlp , was
ihlefly Important aa affording the first real
test of the flghtlnw-qualltles of modern war
ship * , equipped wlttt high-power guns.
Undoubtedly ono of the results of our war
with Spain will be * hbt completion of a navy
hat will commanltthii admiration and re-
ipert of the world. AVTille our national pol-
cy has always becnt n peaceful one , the
[ overnment now recognizes , as never be-
ore , the necessity of being always pre
pared for any exigency that may arise ,
while our foreign Interests demand that
European natlona respect and recognize us
as a power abln to uphold its rights and
enforce Its Just demands.
The appropriation of "Millions for de-
fenso" will be followed by the construction
if other vesssels equipped with the deadly
lest and most effective engines of destruc-
Inn. It has been sold 'that the Krupp gin :
s the forerunner of the "Era of good-will. "
A powerful defensive force means "Not the
) lg wars that make ambltlo\is virtue.1' bMt
'cacc.
You have thought much on the subjects
mtltncd above since the commencement of
instllltlea , and you will continue to think
of them no matter how long or ho'v
short the present 'war may prove to be ,
You want to understand what you read , and
you wish to have the situation well In luxml.
All good citizens feel this way , all are
anxious to pursue the course nf events
undcrstandlngly and Intelligently.
In no way can you accomplish this more
speedily and satisfactorily than by the pur
chase of a copy of the book entitled "Tho
Official Photographs of the United States
Navy , " Issued by The Omaha Bee. It costs
only 25 cents and Is on pale at the counting
'coins of the paper or will bo sent by mall
o any address on receipt of the price.
A full description of this wrrk 01 i rom-
pleto mention of Its merits Is Impossible
within the scope of this article. It opens
vlth a folder map , sixteen times the size
of the book itso'f. on ono side ol which
s shown the Spanish possessions In th
East Indies , with all contiguous territory ,
and on the reverse sldo the West Indian
possessions are similarly treated. These
maps are authentic and faithfully glvo all
of the details that may be desired In any
event.
Then follow about 200 views of naval sub-
ects , made by E. H. Hart , naval photogra
pher , all true likenesses of the subjects
treated. The scope of the views Is coinci
dent with naval life and affairs , all of the
most Important features being treated. Bat-
lo ships , cruisers , rams , torpedo boats ,
torpedo boat destroyers , armaments , equip
ments , ammunition , In short you could
scarce name a feature of naval life that Is
not set forth.
In addition to the views of the ships their
cost , size , displacement , armament , power ,
date of launching every matter of Interest
s given , and many of the Spanish ships are
similarly treated.- One feature of intense
nterest , and one that Is well worth the price
of the book , Is a set of twenty views of the
11-fated Maine , some of which were taken
Before and some after the explosion.
The course of The Omaha Bee In placing
before the general public this .valuable and
timely work Is to be highly commended. It
enables everyone In possession of the book
to thoroughly understand the naval side of
this conflict that Is making history every
day , and Is destined to very probably change
the destiny of more than ono nation.
As the edition Is limited It behooves every
one to procure a copy of this book before tha
supply Is exhausted. Thousands have al
ready secured copies , and when ono remem
bers that the cost is but 25 cents there will
bo no excuse for not peliig provided with this
Indispensable adjunct to a proper under
standing of the events of these stirring
days.

A CoiiKrvNMmnn'N Opinion.
"It was my good fortune to take passage
on No. G from Lincoln to Chicago on the
IGth Inst. , and I desire to compliment the
Burllngtou management on furnishing the
finest and fastest train i ever had any ex
perience with. The dining car service Is
especially commendable and I have no doubt
that the train will be very popular. Ne
braska Is certainly at the front In train
service as well as In many other things. "

Doe ,
There are eerges and serges. You can buy a serge
suit that will bo a thing of beauty and a joy as long
as you wear it , and you can buy one that will turn
red with the first outing , and shrink Beyetal'tHzcs
with the first shower of rain. A poor serge is not
cheap at any price. The Nebraska for years has
made a specialty of good serges at a low price , and
this year one of the best things we have to ofTer is a
prime worsted serge at § 6.50. It is good. It will
hold its color and its shape , and it is one of the best
serge offerings we have ever shown. Today you can
find an abundance of these splendid suits on our second
end iloor , but it wouldn't be safe to put off seeing
them very long if this warm spell keeps up any
length of time. These are not the cheapest serge
suits we have , nor are they the bent , but they .are in
many ways the best values in our entire line. You
should make it your biiHincHH to sue thorn.
