There will not bo any combination of tbo
Omaha and South Omaha breweries accord
ing to the statement made by three of the
most Important of the quartet. The man
agers of all the firms have been approached
with an offer for a ninoty-days' option on
tholr ptantR , "but " thrco have declined to
grant It , preferring to mnnago their busi
ness themselves to selling It to c atorn per-
tons , that tbc'y may profit by the untiring
work nnd years of labor of the local brew
ers.

Archibald Oracle of New York came to
this city as a representative of an eastern
syndicate said to liave Its headquarters In
the Rrcat metropolis. lie presented hlm-
nclf to the four principal firms of brewers
In the city and offered to take their plants
off their hands If they would glvo him
ninety days In which to perfect the deal.
Ho wanted to make similar arrangements
In Kanras City and spent several days there
for the purpose. He returned to Omaha Sat
urday morning for the final answer of the
brewers , whom ho had met there. Mr.
Grade was seen at the Mil lard last even
ing , 'but ho declined to glvo out any In
formation. He said If he had anything In
future ho would be glad to contribute the
knowledge to the public , thus giving cred
ence to the report that ho was hero for
the purpose of consolidating the business
of the different firms.
"I do not think It anything concerning
which the press should publish a story at
present , " said Mr. Oracle. "I desire , how
ever , to deny In Its entirety any icport
that has been given out to the effect that
a combination of the 'breweries ' of Omaha Is
about to be made. I decline to- say whether
or not I have received ony refusals today
to grant mo an option on any plant. "
Kogardlcen of this plain statement Mr.
Oracle did receive two refusals yesterday.
One came from Charles Mctz of the firm
of Mctz Dros. and the other from Gottlieb
Storz of the Omaha Drawing association.
Mr. Oracle sent for Mr. Metz In the after
noon to obtain his answer. Mr. Mctz called
on him at the Mlllard and , finding him out ,
loft a note declining to consider any request
for an option an the plant of the firm of
IMotz Dros.
Vprnlnn.
"I wan unableto find wherein wo were
to bo benefited 'by ' such an offer as Mr.
Oracle- made us , " said 'Mr. ' Metz. "I under-
Bland ho represents the Manhattan Trust
company and should It fall to make good
Its offer lor the plant at the end of ninety
days It would bo out nothing , while T\O
would simply have placed ourselves In the
position of a man who made a bad bar
gain. My understanding Is that the syndi
cate which Mr. Oracle represents desires to
obtain an option on all the breweries , con
solidate them Into one or two plants and
thus lessen the expense of production one-
half or one-fourth In case all the plants
iwcro closed except one. As far aswo are
concerned my answer to Mr. Graclo was
final and I will not listen to another offer. "
Mr. Storz of the Omaha Brewing associa
tion was equally positive In his statements.
"I have built up a strong association and
wo are making good money , " said Mr. Storz.
"I have a homo near the brewery and have
glvon the best years of my life to making
the business a study. Supposing I sold out ,
what 'would I do with my money ? If I
invested It In Bomothlus clso I would be
taking up a vocation perhaps In which I
Iravo had no expcrlcire. Wo have put over
(1,000,000 In this plant nnd It Is now In
excellent condition. "
In response to a query as to the amount
ho thought It would bo necessary for a syn
dicate to raise to purchase the four plants
In the city 'Mr. Storz said ho did not be
lieve $3,500,000 would do It. "All these
plants have made money during late years , "
said Mr. Storz , "and the prospects are good
for the future. Why should.they sacrifice
their present advantage for the sake of an
eastern syndicate , 'which simply sees an op
portunity to make n good thing out of It.
As far ns the Omaha Brewing association
Its concerned I can toll you emphatically
that It will not dispose of Its plant. "
ICrnif DeelliieN.
William Krug of the Fred Krug Brewing
company stated last night that he had been
approached by Mr. Graclo and asked for
an option of ninety days. He declined to
cnnslder It fur the present at least.
It Is claimed In brewing circles that the
object of tbo visit of eastern agents to
Omaha and Kansas Cily Is for the purpose
of forming a nosturn adjunct to a national
nltiorptlon of brewing Interests. Inadver
tently Mr. Graclo dropped the remark while
talking to a reporter last evening thai ono
of Iho great brewers was In favor of such
n consolidation of western Interests and this
is looked upon as significant. While he
was dealing with the four lurgo breweries
In Omaha , that Is the MetBros. . , Omaha
IJrowlng association , Fred Krug Brewing
company and the South Omaha Brewing
company , Mr. Graclo did not disdain to pats

The fusion members of the Board of

difficulty In selecting a man of their faith
to sncceed Miles D. Houck as superintend

Connolly and Hector locked horns over the
appointment , while the republican mem
bers looked with evident complacency on
the dissension In the majority camp. Connolly
nelly opened the ball with a resolution
which provided that D. J. Fitzgerald should
bo appointed at once. Ho called for a vote ,
but llarto objected and under the rules tlio
resolution was referred to the committee on
court house nnd Jails.
Later In the session Hector called Harte
to the chair and Introduced a resolution
similar to Connolly's , except that the name
of I5d J. Dee wai substituted for that of
Fitzgerald. Connolly voted against the
resolution , but at this point Hector asked
that Itbe referred for a personal reason
and the request was granted. The majority
members will thus have an opportunity to
try to get together before the next meeting.

Owners of property near the Intersection
of Seventeenth street and the Union Pa-
olOc and Hurllncton tracks , nnd others In
terested In the locality as renters , met yes
terday afternoon at the ofllce of A. J. Vlor-
llng , manager of the 1'axton & Vlcrllng
Iron works , and agreed to make a concerted
effort against the closing of Seventeenth
street , as proposed by the roads. Resolu
tions of crotest wore drawn up and signed ,
and those urosent decided to appear before
the council Monday afternoon and voice
their opinions In person.
The protestants rely for the main strength
of tholr cause on a decision of the United
States circuit court for this district , ren
dered In 1894 , which perpetually enjoined
Iho Union Pacific road from closing Seven
teenth street and confirmed to the public
the easement over the right of way of the
company along that streot. The meeting
was a long one and these present became
very earnest In their assertions of the dam
age they and the firms they represented
would suffer by tbo closing of the street.
It was decided to circulate the resolutions
among the owners of property along Seven
teenth street. The substance of the resolu
tions Is as follows :
Resolved , That the proposition whlsh has
been submitted to your honorable body on
behalf of tbo Union Pacific and II. & M.
railroad companies pertaining to the closing
of Seventeenth street , and the building of
viaducts would. If accepted by your hon
orable body , amount practically to a con
fiscation of Targe business nnd property In
terests located upon said street , and such
action upon thr > part of your honorable body
Is most earnestly and urgently resisted by
us : be It further
Resolved , That your attention Is Invited
to a decree of the United States circuit
court for the district of Nebraska , In the
case of Strcltz versus the Union Pacific
Railroad company , entered upon the 2nd day
of March , ISO I , whereby the closing of said
Seventeenth street at Its Intersection wltb
the tracks aforesaid , was perpetually en
joined ; be It further
Resolved. That your honorable body Is
urgently requested to at once take all
proper and necessary steps , legal or other
wise , to compel the erection of a safe
nnd suitable Viaduct over said tracks upon
Sixteenth street ; that such action is neces
sary to prdpcrly protect the property nnd
business Interests depending upon the exist
ence of said viaduct.
The resolutions are signed by Ferdinand
Stroltz , Fred Drunnlng , Daniel McMlllen ,
Dallas Kramer , Henry Drunnlng , Frank
Swoboda , Max Decht , John Kuncl , T. C.
Havens , E. G. Hampton , for Hampton Lum
ber company ; A. J. Vlerling , for Paxton &
Vlerllng Iron works.
Another Protect Filed.
The ifollowJng protest against the closing
of Sixth street has been sent to the mayor
and city council :
"To the Honorable Committee on Rail
ways , Telegraphs and Telephones of City
Council , Omaha , Neb. : Gentlemen We no
tice from a report of the proceedings at the
last council meeting In connection with ar
ticles touching viaduct matters proposed by
representatives of the Union Pacific and
Durllngton roads , the railroads ask among
other things that the city "vacate and close
the grade crossing at Sixth street" and that
a plat was submitted showing the proposed
vacations.
"Wo respectfully call your attention to
the fact that our property Is located across
the east end of Pacific street and abuts on
one street only nnd that Is Sixth street , or ,
what Is more properly known as the substi
tute for Sixth street. Access to our prop
erty Is ( possible only iby crossing the Union
Pacific tracks on the north by way of Sixth
street nnd by crossing- the D. & M. tracks
on the west at Sixth and Pacific streets.
To vacate and close these two grade cross
ings on Sixth street would absolutely con-
flscato our property , because wo would then
have no access to It whatsoever. We have
already ifor about a year been deprived of
the use of the north exit from our prop
erty , toy way of Sixth street and crossing
the Union Pacific tracks , because the Union
Pacific has closed the street by filling In
a large amount cf dirt In order to make
room for the Increased number of tracks
required for the approach to Its new
depot. During all this time we have been
deprived of the use of our favorite route
for hauling goods to and from the depots.
We have always used the route across the
Union Pacific tracks to the depots In pref
erence to the crossing over the D. & M.
for the following reasons : The distance Is
somewhat shorter ; the grade down hill all
the way and frequently our goods are loaded
so high on the wagons that It Is Impossible
to go by way of Pacific and Seventh streets
ibecauso the viaducts crossing Seventh street
are not elevated a'bove ' the street enough
to permit the passage of a high load. The
temporary obstruction of Sixth street by the
Union Pacific compels us to take all high
loads across the Tenth street viaduct. The
grade from Seventh to Tenth street on Pa
cific makes It Impossible to haul as large
loads as < wo otherwise would , It also results
In a great loss of time 'by ' compelling us
to go this roundabout way to the freight
depots. Heretofore when the D. & M. crossIng -
Ing was closed by waiting trains or switch-
Ing wo could go by way of the Union Pa
cific crossing. If It should bo done as now
contemplated , that Is , vacate and close the
D. & M. grade crossing at Sixth and Pa
cific streets also , wo would 'bo absolutely
shut out from access to our property.
"Wo feel confident that It Is only neces
sary to lay these facts before your honor
able committee to Insure your protection
to our Interests by keeping both the D. &
M. and the Union Pacific crossings on Sixth
street open to the public. Very respectfully ,

Criminal Court.
The jury has been completed In the Bart-
ley bond case and the commencement of the
actual trial has been postponed to Thursday
morning. Only two peremptory challenges
remained to be disposed of yesterday and
the places of the two jurors who were dis
missed were filled without difficulty. Judge
Fawcett then announced that ho would conj -
j tlnuo the case to Thursday In order to per
mit Mr. Ransom to finish the Chollman
murder trial. It Is also expected that Gen
eral Cowln will be back from the cast by
that time and take charge of the defense
for the bondsmen.
Both the court nnd the attorneys were
agreeably surprised by the comparative ease
with which the Jury was secured. Only
thirty-live talesmen werp excused for cause.
The jury as completed consists of P. M. Ful
ton , Edwin M. Oney , Joseph Spcllman , L. F.
Perkins , D. H. Harris , George S. Holman ,
J. R. French , F. D. Brown , F. J. Eggcr ,
Charles Castles and W. R. Bell.
Fred Krellc , the juror who asserted that
he had been approached , was excused from
] service. After some Investigation Judge
| Fawcett haa decided that the incident is not
as Important ns Krellc seemed to think. Ho
.ild that It looked to him as though some
uninterested person had made the remark to
Krelle merely as an expression of opinion
and not with any intention of trying to
bribe him. If any of the parties to the case
had been Involved In such a proceeding they
would not have gone at it in such a clumsy
manner.

Mrs. Minnie Schrube , 1-115 Leavcnworth ,
was arrested yesterday on the complaint
of Sue Hanger , who charges her with dis
turbing the peace. This disturbance Is said
to consist of a flourishing of butcher knives
and the using of sundry derogatory expres
sions by the defendant. A dozen witnesses
have been subpoenaed and the prospects are
promising that Judge Gordon will devote all
of Juno 16 to the trial.
Mrs. Schrubo says she has full charge of
the rooming bouse at the number given
She asserts that her arrest Is due to the fact
that she ordered the Hanger family to leave
the flat ibeeausc they would not pay rent.
She says Mrs. Hanger IB given to making
faces at her nnd once or twice there came
very nearly being a fight , one of the
woSisn having n knife and the
other a hatchet. Mrs. Sohrubo urges fur
ther that she cannot bear to be harassed by
such faces as that worn by Mrs. Hanger when
she ntarts out to make trouble and that a
"scrap aa Is a scrap" will occur one of these
days If she does not stop.

will be a chaplain and chorister , and a lively
and splendid time Is anticipated. The of
ficial train will go through straight to De
troit and ono of the most delightful recol
lections of the Endeavor conventions Is in
the acquaintance and fellowship upon these
trains. A stop of two and a half hours
In Chicago will afford opportunity to see
the great city , while baggage will remain
safe In the train. The Detroit reception
committee has arranged to meet the official
train fifty miles this side of the city nnd
moke assignments for lodgings , so that upon
arrival at headquarters every delegate will
know where to sleep nnd eat. This Is
especially fortunate , for the crowds will be
Immense , and there could bo little chance
for anyone to be promptly located with his
state delegation who was not with the com
pany when assignments were made. Nebraskans -
braskans will have lodgings for SO cents
nnd meals for 25 cents In the best houses
of Detroit , within easy walk of the conven
tion tents.
HAVE ANOTHER CONFERENCE
Thin Time < he I'nrk Iliinri ! AVI11 lie
Present to KlKht fur One
More Vliuluut.
The park commissioners made nn effort
Saturday to meet representatives of the Bur
lington nnd Pacific roads to discuss the clause
of tbo proposed agreement on viaduct mat
ters relating to Boulevard street. Nothing
could bo done , however , on account of the
absence of General Manager Holdrcgo of the
Burllncton , The absence of Councilman
Bechcl has prevented a meeting of the council
committee on railroads , telegraphs and tele
phones since the last council meeting , at
which the proposed agreement was referred
to It. It is probable that a conference be
tween the council committee nnd the roads
will bo hold some time Monday nnd It is now
the Intention of the members of the park
board to be present at that conference. The
board was very nnxlous to have a mealing
wllh the roads before they and the com
mittee came together , as it waH feared the
settlement of the differences on the basl.i
proposed would proceed too far to bo hin
dered If another conference were held and mi
protest made by the board. But , falling to
do so , the board will attend the conference
and do what It can to secure the early build
ing of a viaduct on Boulevard street.
It Is understood that the roads are friendly
to the park lioard and do not favor leaving
the building of a viaduct on that slreet until
the street Is paved If some other agreement
can bo reached. But It Is naturally expected
that If the roads concede the city n viaduct
there they will demand a corresponding con-
erosion In some other quarter of the city.
iA previously explained , the articles of a
permanflnl agreemenl between the two
roads and the city , submitted to the council
at the last meeting , contain the provision
that tbo building of a viaduct on Boulevard
street shall be delayed until the street has
been paved on both sides. The park board
does not Intend to pave the street nt nil , butte
to make a gravel and cinder driveway on It.
