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

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.

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 '

flev Father Smyth and interment will be

number of employes , ,1 , .1S5 , total compensa
tion of all employes , $ IS , iOH,3Sl :
The slffniflcancn of these detaUa arises
from , the fact that the gross receipt. ! repre

ter year of IS'JJ ' amon- Iowa roads , that
1,200 more men than ever before are em
ployed , and their wagea are greater by Jl-
200,000 than lost year. It ia true that the.
net earnings of the roads did not reach $17-
000,000 , due to the extraordinary e-jpense of
operating and the heavy taxes The net
earnings , in fact , are lesi than those of the
year 1S)3 ! ) and are little more than those ot
ISflij , when times were comparatively hard
There has been a net Increase on all rouda of
W.OOO.OOO. Several nev , features are intro
duced this year In the form of comparative
tables of unusual Interest. One sho-vs the
