R.'srulnti'M the North-went- . The report of the committee of the whole relative to the proprsed ordinance granting permission tn thu Northwestern railway to lay a third track on Eleventh street brought forth a protest against its adoption from thu company's attorney and a. large portion of the time of the meeting was taken up in discussing this matter In ttj reoort the coiamlttee recommended that tha ordinance be amended so an to provide that tbu rail road company should plank all crossings of streets , avenues and alleys to the > full width of the street and that the railroad should first settle with the owners of abut ting property and that when this was done then the ordinance should bo passed. the Northwestern objected Tho- attorney for jected to the report on the grounds that until the ordinance waa passed hia company had no basts on which to effect a settlement with the property owners. He suggested that the ordinance be amended so as to provide that the company should not have the right or authority to lay any further tracka until every abutting property owner had been settled with Several protests from interested property owners asking that the railway ba given no right to lay a. third track until they had been settled with were read. Alderman Casper urged the. adoption of the report of the committee on the grounds that ho believed If the railway were given the right to lay the track under any condi tions whatsoever , it would proceed todo so and then the property ownera might "whistle" for a. settlement of their damages. Thla Imputation waa warmly resented by the attorney for the Northwestern , who stated that the railway was willing to dowhat was fair and right In the matter and for that reason had come before the aldermen for permission to lay tha track. The protest of the company's attorney , however , was of no avail and tha recommendation of the committee waa concurred in by a fall vote of thu council. Alter the- Motor Compnnl * . The next railroad to come in for atten tion at the hands of the city fathers waa the Omaha & Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge company Complaint had been made by one of the implement linen on Main street that the motor company In laying portion. * of track on that street to forestall the new street car company had torn up portions of the paving and placed the paving atones taken up along the curb line , which had formed an obstruction to tha flow of water along thc < gutters. The city marshal waa instructed to notify the motor company tt > within three days remove these obstruc tions and to replace all pavement torn up. la view of the likelihood of the two street railway companies laying tracka on streeu already paved resolutions were adopted noti fying both the Omaha & Council B.uffa Railway and Bridge company and the Omaha , Council Bluffs & Suburban Railway com pany not to Uy or attempt to lay any tracka upon any paved street In the city of Coun cil Bluff .1 without Am paying into the city treasury the ccat of the pavement between tha tracks so lal.i and one foot on the out- si ii a thereof , aa may be determined by tha eity council. City Solicitor Wadiworth called attention to tha ( act that tha time for the filing of a motion for a rehearing In the matter of the ownership of Seventh street , between Thlr- teenth and Fourteenth avenues , had expired and that aa by the ruling of the ; tuprema court the thoroughfare belonged to the elt ? and not to the Rock Island & Pacific Rail way company , th elty now bad tha right to tike the n eee ary atepa looking toward [ he opening of th street to public travel , j Attar some dUeuMtan the elty marshal was i ( aatrueted to notify the Hoak Utaod railway | la at one * plaak between lu traeks the ( ull j * 'i.lth of the atrset and to lay suitable glde- I valka.

SALE OP nEI.IA'aCENT PIlOPEnTY. .ViiniinI Vni-tlou Attrnots n Orovrtl inxl ! ! hlillntr Is .vlMk. The annual tax salu of delinquent prop- r-rty was held yesterday by Countv Treas- vrcr Arm ! and attricted a larsp number of bidders , with thu result that thu competition to secure cholco lets wan at times very keen. Thu usual crowd , with the addition of sovernl new faces were tn attendance , among thu old-timers being A. J Seaman , who la a familiar charactnr at all tnx sales In ithia city and Omaha. Following his usual custom , be Invested heavily , especially in delinquent country property The competition for a. few of the choice city holdings waa exceedingly brisk ami In mm liiBtancu a desirable lot waa knocked down to a local real'estate de.ilur for a ouu- nillllonth Interest. Another went for a thousandth Interest and several wore sold for one hundredth Interests. The Merrlam block waa knocked down for a aim thou sandth Interest- , the bidding on this being very keen. Thu tax salu this year was about as largo as liwt yenr and the proportion of country , city ami outside town pronerty waa about the samu. In tliu county there waa verv Httla delinquent property to go under the treasurer' hammer , aa the farmers bavo had a prosperous year and consequently t.Txes have been well paid up. In three of the townships Pleasant , Valley and York , there was no.t a single delinquent piece of property while but one township Knox showed aa many as eight delinquent hold ings on which tha taxes for 1SOS remained unpaid. The number of delinquent pieces in the other townships was aa follows Waveland , I , Grove , 7 , Silver Creek , " . Keg Creek , 3 , Wright , 2 , Center , 1 , Wash ington , .1 , Hardin , 1. Lincoln , 2 , James , 1 , Xorwalk , 2 , Hazel Dell , 1 ; Layton , 3 ; Xlln- den , 1 , Neola , t : Boomer , fi. In the clity the number of delinquent pieces of property offered for sale was about thu same aa last year , owing to- the fact that 'three ' of the outside additions Cline's , Colby's. Walnut Grove and Potter & George's , the latter in East Omaha , were in the list entire , making quite an item in the total number. But for 'these ' three ad ditions the showing this year would have been better than last , when It was the smallest known , for several years. In tha ito-vns outside of Council Bluffs the taxes this year were exceptionally well paid up and there was but little to offer. Such 13 waa , however , was eagerly snapped up ind practically everything worth having on ho entire list waa disposed of when Treas urer Arnd closed hla day's work. Such remnants aa are left over will be of fered again at an adjourned sale which will be held some tlmo in January , the date ot which will be announced later by Treasurer Arnd. I\ftLEST OV DBVTH OP BOVI.E. Tlirre AVItnesuci Examined anitoth - Inar "Vnr Rrnntcht to Msrht. After three witnesses had been examined af the Inquest over Michael Boyle , killed by a freight train on the tracks of the Terminal company Saturday night , an adjournment was taken until 1 o'clock this afternoon. The three witnesses examined were C. L , Rankln. foreman , W C. He.iton , switchman , and John Mlkesel , engineer Much time was consumed by Vttorney Galvln , who appeared for the relative ? of the dead man , In cross- examining the witnesses , It being his en deavor to ahow that the railway company was negligent and culpable in having three cars ahead of the engine while the balance of the train was behind. Practically nothing new as to the manner la which Boyle came to hla death was brought out. Switchman Heaton testified that he saw Boyle on the. track and that be gave the order to the engineer to alow up. Boyle stepped off the track and he signaled again to the engineer to go aheid. When about twenty feet from Boyle the latter fell or threw himself across the track. He at once gave the signal to atop , but although tha train waa only going about four or flve miles an hour , It was Impcualble to atop the- train after Boyle fell In time to prevent It j running over him. | Engineer Mlkeaef , in answer to Attorney Galvin's crosB-examlnatlon , said that the I three car * ahead of the engine had been picked up from the Milwaukee and the ten behind from the Omaha & St. Loula and i that In order to have had all the cars back | of the engine It would have been necessary i to have made a "dropr" which waa contrary to rules , or elaa to have made two trips from the Eighteenth street aiding to Fif teenth avenue. The funeral will be held thla morning j it 0 o'clock from St. Francla Xavler'a ' 3hureh. The services will bj conducted by flev Father Smyth and interment will be In tb Catholle cemetery.
