OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , DSOVEMBEH 127 , 1898. TWO HABEAS CORPUS CASES' ' Rhode MoNarnara and Olauj Hubbard Appeal to Magna Ghana RighU. FIRST LOSES AND SECOND WINS HIS CASE White Mnii Held on n Charge Suftl- clcntlr .Strong ( u Wnrrntit III * Ite- tenllnn Culorc-d Mnn .Show * KnutiKh to Get Away. Two habeas corpus cases emanating from the police station were heard by the dis trict court yesterday afternoon. One waa brought by a white man named niioJo Me- Nnmara , arrested for Implication In a chiig3 of larceny. The other petitioner wa. a Third ward negro , Glaus Ilubbanl , who has been something of a political factor In that section of the city , and a sort of police ! court attorney. Hubbard buj boon prnwted for vagrancy. The basin of lila demand for liberty was that ho had br > en arrested with out a warrant. Judge Slabatii-h beard the McNamara case and Judge Scott that of Hubbard. It was necessary to postpone the decision ! n the MoNamara case until the question of costs had been eottled. From his state ment the court was Informed that ho wns first arrested for stealing his own coal. A dismissal was about to bo orJorod then and there when It was explained that the rtal charge against McNamara that " was of "ac cessory after the fact" o a ctlmo of lar ceny and that a compfalnt had been lodged gainst him In duo form. It wns sal.l by the police that the prisoner was wanted to account for eome money said to bavo been stolen by two women of shady reputa tion and part of which he U accused of npcndlng after It had been entrusted to his keeping by the women. Under the clicum- tonces the court could not let McNamara go , the complaint on this second charge hav ing been filed within a reasonable time. In the Hubbard hearing both prisoner and court were amusing at times. HubViard assorted the claim that ho had made mote out of politics In some months than some people have In years , which wns not denied. For sixteen years ho has been a reel- dent of Omaha. Ho Is a graduate of Chor- Iln , according to his story , and taught Khool for nearly a score of years In various parts of the country until ho became an invalid "I have never done a bit of man ual labor In my life , " ho proudly Informed the lawyer who was cross-examining him. Asked If ho had over been connected with "crap" games ho said he had not ; he had M kept several saloons In the city and "crap" games had been run In them , but ho had never gotten anything out of them. "There never were any receipts from any crap game , " ho said , when an Interrogation wns thrown at htm to ascertain If ho Imd re ceived anything for the privilege of let'.lng the games run. To nn objection from hie counsel that an swering such questions might tend to In- orlmlnato the prisoner , Judge Scott ven tured a witticism by asking , "What ? Any body Incriminate himself for gatnollng in this town ? " In Hubbard's connection with the police court as attorney and general advisor and ball procurer for persons of his color under arrcet , ho said he had protested to the po lice so much against indiscriminate ur- resls of negroes with warrants that the po lice look upon him as a nuisance and that this was why he was vaggsd. The court ordered his release , using the occasion to Inform the poH o officers prts- ont and Chief White In particular tlmt any policeman attempting the arrsst of any cit izen without duo process of law virtually 'ikea his life In his own hands , uurtir a supreme court decision quoted by the julge ; and he went so far as to ramark that Hub- hard would have been Justified In shooting the officer who arrested Mm if ihe wo of a pistol had been in defense of his consti tutional liberties. At this Hubbanl looked hard at the policemen and bowrd his head In emphatic assent several tlmea. KINO lIOOlHiim IS FOUND GUILTY. Leader of Sixteenth Street Terror * Convicted of UlKhTTiiy Robbery. The verdict in the case of Henry Kehl , on the charge of assaulting and robbing Oust Welamlcr at the south end of the Six teenth street viaduct on the night of Oc tober 22 , In company with six other hood lums , was "guilty as charged. " Frank McClusky , who on October 13 threw a stone nt James J. Ryan and struck him on the head with It at the corner of Sixteenth and Webster streets , pleaded guilty to a charge of assault with Intent to do great bodily harm. Judge Slabaugh sentenced him lo one year In the penitentiary. Prom McClusky's story It appeared that both men were drunk at the time , otherwise the sen tence would have been heavier. Germnn Savin * * Ilnnk Salt. / V Judge Fawcctt was engaged the entire forenoon In the hearing of the application of I. R. Andrew * and D. 0. Burbank for an order directing Receiver McCague to sell the assets of the German Savings bank for the benefit of the depositors. Mr. McCague said another dividend of 5 per cent was con templated and was expected to be declared soon.

A suit to qutct title to real estate some what out of the ordinary wt brought In the district court yesterday. The conflict of claims had been caused by the caprices of Iho Missouri river which aom ltmes runs ono way around a piece of riparian properly and pometlmefl another. The piece of land In dispute Is tbo east half of lot 1 , scclton 7 , township 14 , range 14. This mlghl be considered as part of Soulh Omaha were It not for the probability of the river switching U over Inlo Io a. The plaintiffs were Daniel D. Gregory and Maggie Alnscotv and the defendants Michael McDermotl and J. W. Squires. Prom the complaint It appeared that McDcrmotl had squalled on Iho uncertain land. The story told In the documenl was lhal al Iho tlmi the old survey was made the river ran along the north and cant of tha property , but that In 1SS1 It broke through tbo em bankment nature had formed and now runs west of It. This has made it ra her Insular temporarily. McDermott after assuming a claim to It put up a smalt shanty.

The plaintiffs allege that McDermott has been bothering Coyle for rent month In and month out and they ask the court lo de termine just to whom the land belongs and to enjoin McDermolt from Iroubllns ihelr tenant. The Squires' claim , they say , Is based upon eome kfnd of a mortgage given to him by McDermott. Wlndlnir Ul > a Ijonn AHnoelntlnn , On a suit begun by Atlornoy General C. J.

NO ATTEMPT AT RESTORATION IS MADE All Change * Arc One Way and thnt Im lov rr Knelt Mile nintnei the Other ( or Start ing the War. "Thero they go. All down In ono alley. Set 'em ut > again. " This was the response of one of the .Omaha freight men when i asked the condition of rates from the east yesterday morning. Another replied like this : "I really do not know what the rates are this morning. I haven't been In my ofQce for llfteea minutes. " The third freight man answered like unto the other two and then added : "The Bee's description of the situation on Friday was all right except In ono particular. You said that the demoralization has been on for the last month. As a matter of fact rate cutting and the distribution of transportation has been practiced by some of the lines here for six months. " Any one can tell from the excited bustle about freight offices that there Is blood on the moon. Rates are changed almost hourly , and the change Is all one way. No Increases in rates or attempts at restoration are being made. Each line says Its competitors are causing all the trouble. The freight representative of one line says the bustle of his rival Is nothing but per nicious activity. The wholesale demoralization , however , Is on the whole quito welcome to the freight officials. They say that the sooner the rales reach the bottom at the toboggan chute the quicker will the long-looked-for restoration bo made. At the pace In which rates nro being quoted by all the Chicago and Bt. Louis lines it would appear lhat not many dajs will elapse before the end of tnc descent is reached. Did Not Affect Omnlin. The deep cuts announced by the Milwau kee road on Wednesday were given out in Chicago as applying from Chicago , Milwau kee and Racine to Missouri river points. As a matter of fact the reductions did not In clude rates to Omaha , but only to lower Missouri river points , to Kansas City and points soulh of there. The same reductions were announced by the Rock Island and the Burlington , and all were made to meet the cut of the Great Western from Chicago to Kansas City. The cut to the southwest , which knocked down rates from CO to 76 per cent , has had its effect on rates lo Omaha. Not on all of the commodities on which southwest rates w-ero cut have Ihe published tariffs been low ered , but on a number of them. On canned goods Iho old tariff ralo was 27 cents per 100 pounds. The new published rale Is 15 cents , but It was admitled on Ihe street this morning that 12 cents was the figure most often quoted. On lumber the old rate was 12 > cents ; the new rate Is said to be 10 'cents , while those on the Insldo say 6 cents Is being offered and accepted by lines that are greedy for business. Rates on agrl- cullural Implements have dropped from 30 to 22 cents from Chicago to Omana and rrom 22 to 14V4 cents from the Mississippi river to Omaha. It Is believed to be only a ques tion of days when all the goods on which rates lo lower Missouri river polnls have been halved will bo moved to Omaha on the same rales now offered to Kansas Oily. Tne rates on Ihe various classes of merchandise nro being put on the bargain table gradually but none the less surely. AI10UT COAL RATES TO OMAHA. lovra Rallrond Comml loner Will Make nn Investigation. The Iowa railroad commissioners have set January 4 as the dale for hearing cases of alleged dlscrlmlnallon against Iowa coal In favor of Illinois coal In the matter of freight rates by Iowa lines. It Is said thai Illinois coal is being shipped to Omaha for lesa money than U charged for hauling Iowa coal to th Omaha market. The men who have prcscnled these cases undoubtedly have sufficient testimony to sus tain their charges , but against what roaas , or the extent of the discrimination. Is a matter that is not known here. There are any number of Omaha freight officials of Iowa line who would like to know what the forthcoming evidence will show , but It Is probable thai it will not be disclosed unlll the hearing. If there Is any such discrimination it ex ists In the mailer of secret rates. The pun- llshed tariff rates show thai the ralei ou Illinrls eoal are proportionately higher than the rates on Iowa coal to Omaha. Although western freight rates are demoralize. ! gener ally , It is believed thai the rales on nofl coil are being fairly well malnlalne.l. . This Is nol due lo any virtue of the frcJzht depart ments , but Is directly traceable to the fnct that there are not today enough coil cars on western lines to haul the toft c nl that Is to be moved. With more of this business In sight than can be handled Ihe lines are not sirongly lempted to cul any sofl coal rales. Wllh the hard coal rat is a differenl condition of affairs exists. U is rumond qulto generally lhal hard coal rate ? are being freely cut , and som1.1 fr ° lsht men think that It Is some of this cutMng that has developed the cases that will be henrd early In January by the Iowa railroad com missioners. One of the districts of Irwix that contrin- ules considerable coal to Omaha and vicinity Is that In the rpglon of lies Mnlnes. This coal Is used by a > i > imber of the packing houses and other plants wanting steam coal. The rate Is $1.01 anl most of Urn coal Is brought in here over : lie Hock Isl.md road. The rate on coal to Onu'ia from the Mis sissippi river IB $1 fi5 and the tlliUiU'o is " * M miles. Fro-n De Mulnes to Omaha , \vlnro the rate Is (1.01 , the distance Is 145 miles. Considerable of the domestic coal used In Omaha cornea from Centervllle , la. Fiou here the rale on coal to Omaha Is $1.48 The Burlington and Rick Island bring moat of the coal from this coal district to this city. city.While While the rate of $1.55 on coal applies from the Mississippi river to Omaha there mun bo added from 25 to 35 cents for the rate on the Illinois coal to be brought from the Illinois mines lo ihe Mississippi | river. As a matter of fact , however , [ I very little coal crosses the upper MissisI I slppl river bridges , where three of the' i Omaha-Chicago llnea have their bridges The bulk of the Illinois coal comes to Omilii I through St. Louis , or over the Burlington i road through Burlington , la. If It is brougl.t i through St. Louis the rate is $1 73 from lha i ' Mississippi river to Omaha , plus whatever 13 needed to bring It from the mine lo the river , about 5 to 35 cents. Innovation * on Overland. Two Innovations were established on the "Overland Limited" of the Norlhwestern- j ! Union Pacific Friday. The barber shops of the library cars , which bavo heretofore been closed , have been opened for business , and a man may now get a shave on Sundays as well as on week days anywhere along trie line between Chicago and San Francisco. It Is announced that Ihe barber shops will remain open throughoul the winter season at least. A neat catalogue of the library of the same line of cars has been printed and distributed. It contains the titles of sixty- one volumes by popular authors and the norter of the oar has been Instructed to , study up on Ihe duties of a librarian.

According to the mott recently reported plana of President A. B. Stlckney of Ihe Chicago Great Western thai line will be butll Into Omaha from Hampton , in the northern part of Iowa , and not from the southern line between DCS Molncs and Kin- sas City. Should Ihls prove to be the ca e Omaha will be given another line to St. Paul and the norlh and Iho long hoped for grain outlet through Duluth will move nearer in sight. II Is given out on creditable authority lhat President Stlckney has announced that his extension Into Omaha will follow this route. From Hampton , la. , It will bo first built to Webster City , which Is at the junc tion of the Illinois Central main line nnd Iho norlh and soulh branch of Ihe Chicago & Northwestern , and also has a small road known as the Crooked Crock odd. From Webster City Ihe new line will con tinue In a southwesterly direction lo Jefferson , which Is at the crossing of the Northwestern main line and the Den Molnee , Northern & Western road , sixty-seven miles northwest of Des Molnes. From here the road will bo built on In the same direction crossing the Milwaukee main line at Coon Rapids la. The line will bo pushed on to Audubon , which Is on a stub of the Rock Island , twenty-five miles norlh of Atlantic , la. From Audubon the Greal Western's ' new route will bo westward to Hnrlan. Tills lown Is the norlhern terminus of another Rock Island stub , fourteen miles norlh of Avoca , which Is on the main line. The two Rock Island stub lines are about twenty miles apart. The most remarkable part of this report Is lhat for a starter the 'Groat Western will use the Rock Island's line from Har- lan Into Omaha , a dtslance of sixty miles. It Is said the Great Wes ern will use Iho Rock Island line tnlo Omaha until tl com pletes Us own terminal arrangements here , when it builds from Hnrlan , la. , Into Coun cil Bluffs and Omaha and runs Its trains hero on Its own rails.

MARRIED AFTERJVIANY YEARS Neln XeUou and ChrUtlne that Wai Ilorn Nelnon End Their Ro mance In Wedlock. "Ay tank ay skoll haf valfe , " was the Information communicated smilingly to Counly Judge Baxlcr yeslerday by 73-year- old Nels Nelson of Oakland , NcbA , as , lean ing blushlngly on his Icfl arm , bo led his 61-year-old bride Into the judicial sanctum where licenses to marry are Issued and sometimes eager couples are made one Mesh. "Ay no can tak vera mooch Angleesh but dees har es me vooman ; ay lalke be married. " Then the Judge tumbled. He Is not much of a linguist and waa about to call into requisition Ihe ablllltes in thai direction of Harry Nell , holding In mental reserve Chief Clerk Wlnler and Docket Clerk Wol- cott In the event of Harry's falfure as an Interpreter , but the last word was good enough English for him and , a already staled , he lumlbed. "So > ou folks want to get married ? " he Inquired , < to make doubly sure. It was then the woman spoke up , as her groom looked eoraewhat dazed , raying : "Dees man hem baller'n seem Oder taller , ay tank. " She was Mrs. ChrUtlne Berg of the same place as Nels ; a widow. The future Mr. and Mrs. Nelron win make Oak land their home as in the past , but will oc cupy Ihe eame quarters Instead of existing apart in a lonesome way. The judge waa earnestly trying to solve the problem of how bo was to make them understand the elaborate marriage service In plain United States , not having a Swedish manual at hand , and Hairy Nott had al ready starled lo pry them with all sorts of questions as to where they had been born and If they were cousins and other Inci dentals about their parents and age , when It became apparent that the medium of a translator would surely be required. So to the rrecue came William and Sclma Rus sell , friends of the ro"tnt victims of cupid , and the ceremony went on , part In Swed and part in Engl.rh. Behind this incident there Is a pretly little romance. Nels Nelson and Mn. B rg , whose maiden name was also Nelson , knew and loved each other In Sweden but the vicis situdes of life made it necessary for Nets to go to America to make a fortune and an ocean came between them. In tlmo Miss Nelson emigrated also to Ihls counlry and , like most Swedish girls , applied herself In- duslrVoucly lo work unlll she could wall no longer for Iho Nels Nelson she had given up for dead , and she got married. Nels had also married and death left both single again. The cycle of circumstances brought the two around to each other once more and they concluded that time had cheated them long enough. Therefore they came to Omaha to have their hands and hearts le gally joined as their souls had been , In * way , all through life. Then , as though spring had been lolling In the lap of winter , a young couple of 22 years each tripped gaily In and asked for a license. They were Andrew Rollln of thl city and Mrs. Elma I. Taggarl , a blushing voung widow of Chicago. They loal no lime In being made man and wife. ExdtlnK I'rowram I'reuared. DENVER , Colo. , Nov. 26.

COUNCIL DISINCLINED TO HELP OUT Conference llemiltn In n Conclonloii thnt the Public Will Ilne to Wnlt on the Sun for Keller from the Accumulation. The mountains and hillocks and bluffs of snow that Impede travel In the downtown section of the city and made It almost Im possible for carriages and wagons to dilve to tha curbs In front of business houses v111 probably remain unlll the sun melts ihem away unless the clly council provide the money needed to employ men and learns lo cart tbo Bluff away. And the council has not displayed a disposition to supply the necessary wherewithal. BualntBS men have been kicking abcut the itnotv In the streets and have in a do City Engineer Rosewatcr , chairman of the Board of Public Works , and Mayor Moores the targets of their wrath. These com plaints became BO energetic and emphatic that the two city officials yesterday got their heads together In an effort to solve the difficulty. They starled on Ihe propo- sltlon that tbo Board of Public Works has no money on hand with which to do the work , and they quite naturally reachd the conclusion that nothing could be done until money was provided. The money must come from the city coun cil and the two officials at once preceeded to round up the city fathers with ihe ob ject of finding bow tbey slood on Ihe mat ter. President Blngham declared himself willIng - Ing to back up the Board of Public Works In what it did. but ho did not think that the city should go to tbe e.\pen e of clearIng - Ing the streets. II reeked lo him llko throw ing away $1,000. Councilman Mount also thought that the clly should wait a few days. Councilman Burklcy waa opposed fo Ihe expenditure of any money In this way. From these opinions both tbe mayor and the city engineer came to the conclusion I that Ihe councllmen did not < vanl lo appro- ' prlato the money for Ibe work and Ibey therefore decided lo do nothing. Ever elnce the storm the city engineer h i employed three teams to transport the snow from the most heavily laden streets in the downtown district , but thai force can nol do much. I Take * Money to Hani Sitovr. I "I will nol have the snow hauled away unless the council provides ihe money , " de clares City Engineer Hosewaler , "I have bon handicapped all Ihe year by the small fund set aside for streel work and every lime I have undertaken lo do anything OB my own responsibility I have always been reminded thai a clly official who goes be- jond his allowance Is liable lo Impeachment. Therefore I propose to do nothing unless Iho money Is In sight. "The cost of hauling away Ihe snow on toe downtown streets will be about $1,000. What Is that ( n comparison to tbe Inconvenience downtown merchants are Buffering. They have good grounds for kicking , Inasmuch as they bare paid large sums of money for pav ing and then find the pavement almost use- leia. We have only four or five bad nnow- storma a year in this city , and If the snow was cleared away immediately after their conclusion it would cott the city but $5,000. For this small sum we would have clean streets instead of the present condition , which baa given Omaha a reputation tor slovenliness. "Thero is bul one way to treat the sltua- llon lhat is lo haul the snow away. The suggestion made that It could be evenly dis tributed over Iho street so as to provide level thoroughfares Is found to b chlmertca , If one takes the trouble to Indulge in a bit of calculation. Omaha streets are 10 1 feel In widlh. On each side runs a side walk Iwenly feet In width. Then we must have the gulters open for four feel on cllhor side. The street car tracks occupy fifteen feet In Ibe middle and four feet should be cleared away on each side of them. Thus out of the 100 feel of street widlh Ihe snow must bo absolutely cleared away on a lout of seventy-one feet and thrown upon the remaining twenly-nlne feel. With a six- Inch fall of snow , this means that these twenly-nlne feel of streel must be covered with over Iwenly Inches of snow. " Mayor Moores yesterday morning Informed Chief of Police White that citizens are fall ing in many cases to remove the snow from J sidewalks and asked him to order policemen to notify them thai they must comply im mediately with tbe city ordinances. Iiicrenie of Tvro Million * . Clly Tax CommUstoncr Sackclt has com pleted Ihe assessment rofl for the levy for 1699. U shows a total valuation of $35,209- 663 , against $33,049,603 for Ihls year , or an < Increase of $2,160,160. The Board of Re view which Is now Billing may cut down j this total somewhat , but Tax Commissioner Sackett Is confident lhal when Ihe roll goes lo tbo Board of Equalization tbo Increase will be over $2,000,000. The Bee published some days ago the tolal assessment with Ihe exception of ono ' Item , 4ht > ordinary personal , which Is now given by the tax commissioner. Its total Is $4S42C85 , against $4,369,114 for this year , or an increase of $4D3,071. This Increase i almost entirely represents population lhat Omalm has added during , Ihe lasl year , In the opinion of Tax Commissioner Sackett. Ho saya : "There has been but lltllo increase In the amounts assessed against residents who were here a year ago. That la , If Omaha today had the same population It had a year ago , the totaf valuation would have been about the same as It was then. Therefore , Ihe Increase musl represent an added popu lation and an Increase In Ihe number of business enterprises. " Commiloner Whnrton Will Park Commissioner J. C. Wbarton has an nounced hla Intention of resigning from the park board. Too much business la assigned as the cause for this action. The resigna tion will be handed lo the mayor and tbo city council In the ncxl few days. j I 1 Guy C. Barton will probably be appnln'ed by Mayor Moores lo succeed Mr. Wharton , , subject lo confirmation of the council. This I will ! x Ibe flrvl act under Ihe ordnance recently - I cently passed which gives the mayor and | ' city council Instead of the district judgi-s the power to appoint the members of tbt * board. Mr. Wharton has still two years to serve. Mortality Statistic * .

ON CHARGE OF COWARDICE Oaiccm Concerned In the illoodle * * Duel to l < * ntc the Hoard for IiivtlKiitlon , Acting on Instructions from the Board of Flro and Police Commissioners , Chief Whlto will prefer charges of cowardice and Incom- petency against the five ofllccrs who allowed George Van Haller and Royal Oeppner , two young desperadoes , to pscapo from them after a revolver duel two week * ago. Th9 officers who must appear before the board and clear their name of these charges are Captain Cox and Detectives Savage , Dempsey - sey , Sullivan and Keysor. None of the officers have as yet been officially notified of the action of Iho board. Chief White Bald this morning thai he had nol made up 'his ' mind regarding Iho sus pension of the officers pending the examina tion , which Is set tor Monday nexl. Tha chief did nol care to express an opinion on the conduct of the men or the action of the board. Ho said they might have acled for tbo besl at the time of the fight and might bo able to convince the board BO. The men feel the humiliation the publicity of the affair brought them very keenly and do nol llko lo refer lo II. They bellcvo ihey can show lhat their course was Iho only ono open for them at the time. Iiilinlc * PHILADELPHIA , Nov. 26. Dr. Mark H. Lincoln , a well known phyflclnn of this city , committed sulcldo today Hi his homo hero by Inhaling Illuminating gas. No reason for the suicide l known Ir. Lincoln was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania nnd was for several years physician for the Carnegie steel works at Pltlsburg. A GREAT IIKMKDY. for ttulTercr * from I'llen. Dr. Redmond , a specialist In the study and treatment of piles and rectal cllBcnaee. recently staled lhal the Pyramid Pile Cure. Iho new discovery for Iho cure of piles , waa Iho mosl remarkable remedy ho had ever men or tried In one respect , and thai was the Instant relief experienced In nil caeca , no matter how severe , from the moment the remedy was applied. This v.-as the more Eurpristng to him because ho had carefully analyzed the preparation arid no trace of opium , cocalno or similar poUon could bo detccied. Phyulclans look with great favor upon the Pyramid I'llo Cure , because It U rapidly laklng the place of surgical operations and because It is BO bluiplo , so easily applied and contains no mineral or other polsoni so commonly used In cures. Dr. Ksterbrook reports that the Pyramid Pile Cure not only cures the various forms of piles , but never falla to five Immediate relief on tbo first application , no matter how gevero tbe pain or dlsfomfart may be. I'eoplo who have suffered from piles for years are oftin astonished at the Inatini re lief experienced from the first application. Another Important advantage la the fact that any ono can ugo the remHy without detention from Ijuslnrsa or Interference with dally occupation. Sold by drugging at CO cents per package.
