PIERCE STREET CURBING WILL STAY
Petition of Property Oirncrs (Jrnntcil
lt- the Council Arier a Long
Debute mi lloyer'H Tech
nical Objection.
Owing to the absenco of City Attorney
Vud3worth, who It out campaigning, tho
city council Ust night postponed action
on the report of tha city engineer oil iaj
North Main strcot pavln until next week.
This report had been made a special order
of business for lant night on the under
standing that tho city solicitor, would be In
attendance.
After a lengthy discussion It was decided
to grunt thu requeBt of the property own
ers on Plcrco atrcut between First and
Stutsman streets, and not dUturb tha
curbing, tho property owners agreeing to
sign uahera In order t hut tho paving may
bo commenced ut once. In connection with
this matter the property owners aro to bo
notified to remove, back to the property lino
tho fences which now enclose part of tho
parking belonging to tho city. Aldemnu
lloyer opposed granting tho roijucst on tho
grounds that It looked llko as If tho city
was giving tho property owners on that
block a bonus In order to get them to con
sent to tho paving. After the resolution
granting tho request had cairlcd ho op
liosed tho motion requiring tha property
owners to movo their fences to tho prop
erty line on the grounds that If the city
did not require It for street purposes It
would bo Just as well to allow them the
oiuellt ot It. Other members of tho coun
cil were of tho opinion that If the fences
wero permitted to remain whero they aro
It would glvo the property owners a title
to tho parking by the right of adverse
possession.
VotliiK llooth for Sixth Ward.
Tho sum of $200 was appropriated from
the contingent fund to pay part of tho coat
of building a voting place In tho First pre
cinct of tho Sixth ward. Tho county owns
a lot at tho comer of Twenty-fourth street
and AVenuo 1) and Is willing to pay a sim
ilar amount toward the erection of a vot
ing place. Ex-Alderman Shubcrt appeared
on behalf of the peoplo of thu Sixth ward
and urged that thu city do Ha sharo. It
Is estimated that a building 20x10 feet can
be put up for about $100. Considerable dif
ficulty has always been experienced In so
curing suitable places for registering and
voting In this precinct.
At tho request ot tho noard of Kduca
tlon tho city attorney was Instructed to
prepare an ordinance acceptlug and con
arming thu title in tho city to that portion
of Third street bounding tho Street prop-v
crty, on which tba now High school Is to
bo built, and an ordinance opening up and
establishing tho grade on that portion of
tbo street.
Alderman lloyer called attention to the
lack of sidewalks In Cut-OR to enable the
children to reach tbo new school house
there. He wanted to know If tho city had
any rights there, as ho had been informed
that tho East Omaha Lund company had
refused to nllow tho streets to bo graded
or any sidewalks to bu built, claiming that
the streets wcro prlvato property and had
never been deeded to the city. In wet
weather, he said, tho majority of tho pupils
wero unable to reach school unless they
waded through mud up to tholr knees. Tho
teachers wero compelled to walk a quarter
of a mile out of their- way along tho street
car tracks and then on tho tracks of tho
Illinois Centrnl In order to reach the school
house Tho matter was referred to tho city
solicitor to Investigate.
All Sldeuulk Illda Rejected.
It was decided to reject all bids for tho
laying of about flvo miles of brick sldo
walks and the city clerk was directed to
readvertlso. WIckham and Shluklo wcro
tho only bidders.
The ordinances creating the ofllco of city
electrician and regulating electrical con
traction went over for anothor week on
motion of Aljorman Lovctt, who stated
that tho Wostern Union Telegraph com
pany desired to look into tho matter
furthor.
F. J. Day and J. E, Hollcnbock were
Granted permission to place a temporary
bVldgu across tho creek at tho end of
Minster Btrcet to facllltnto the removal
ot the Scott house from North Main street
to a location further north.
Mrs. U. A. James filed a protest against
being ussessed for the sower on Oraham
avenue on tho grounds that bor holdings
v ero acreage property.
petition from F. h. Chlld3 that tho St.
barn on Scuth Main street bo con
mncd as a menace to public safety and
health was referred to tho committee on
fire and light.
A resolution was adopted requiring the
Illinois Central, Ilurllngton, Hock Island and
Union Pacific railway companies to plank
their crossings at Fifth avenue and Four
teenth street within flvo days from service
ot notice. Tho same resolution also pro
vides that tho motor company shall plunk
betwoen Its tracks sixty-four feet cast and
forty-flvo fect west of the now bridge at
this point on Fifth avenue-
Will Hold the Check.
The Omaha Hrldgo ami Terminal Hallway
company asked that It be returned Its certi
fied check for J.'jOO deposited as u guarantee
that it would plank Its crossing) as ordered
by the city. As the council Is ot the opinion
that many crossings yet lack tho necessary
planking the matter was referred to the city
engineer for a report and until it Is ascer
talned that the railway has fulllllcd Its part
of the rontract the check will remain In
tho possession ot tbo city.
Contractor C. K. H. Campbell presented
his bill for ;bo new bridge at Fifth avenue
and Fourteenth street amounting to $2,695,
but as tho council had no report from the
city cnglncor that tho structure had been
accepted by him action was deferred. Tha
mutor company Is to pay $S00 at this amount.
Wallace & Grout were glvon permission
by resolution to place a three-foot nroaway
In front of their proposed new building on
north Main stroet and also to place steps
pi ejecting three feet beyond the property
line,
Prior to the council meeting the aldermen

cation for an order requiring Charles OiH
cer to appear forthwith end file an Inven
tory of all the personal and real property
of the lato Thomas Officer, senior memter
of tho banking firm ot Oftlccr & Pusey,
the aftalrs of which are now in tho bands
ot receivers. The petition recl.es that tha
law requires that this Inventory should
havo been filed within fifteen days after tho
appointment of Charles Officer as admin
istrator ot the estato of his late fa her,
Thcmas Olllcer, but nearly a month has ex
pired since his nppolntment and no su h
Inventory has yet been filed. In support
ot his application Stewart sets forth lh.it
the Cochran estate Is a creditor of tha
banking firm and that some 1,500 other
depositors are lntcrefltcd In tho filing of
such Inventory.
Stowart also (lied an application asking
that tho receivers, John llercshclm and
L F. Murphy, be ordered to pay over to
blm ns administrator at the Cochran es
tate the sum ot $2,133.98 deposited In Olll
cer & Pusey's bank to the credit of the
estate. Stowart recites that In depositing
this money ub administrator he notified
I Oftlccr & Pusey that It was a special fund
und must be kept on hand at all times
subject to the order ot the court; that on
Scptomber 29 last he notified the recolvers
that the money was a special fund In c urt
and under the control ot the court aud
not part of the general assets at the co
partnership existing between Thomas Offi
cer and W. II. M, Pusey and not liable to
sbare with the other officers In the dis
tribution at the assets of receivership, but
entitled to preference and Immediate pay-
mint on order ot court.
Claims of depositors continue to pour

court and yesterday claims aggregating
about $35,000 were filed. Up to last even
ing claims amounting about $250,000 had
been filed. It Is said that the llab.il les ot
the firm aggregate about $627. 0C0 and that
tho amount of cash on baud at tho time
the bank suspended business was $ : 43 001.
So far about 600 depositors have f.led their

Is correct there, aro yet 1,000 creditors of

right nnd explained that ho bad recently
suffered from a severe attack of typhoid

curiosity concerning tho holdup and the
dead robber.
It wus whispered around last evening that
Iho UurllnGton ofllcers had obtained what
they considered a tangible clew and that
snmo developments might bo expected to
diy. Nothing further, however, beyond this
much could be learned last night. It la be
lieved that tho clew has been obtained from

promtneut Chicago First ward politician,

SIOUX CITY, On. 8. (Special.) Frank
Peyton, the roan who confesed to tho St
Louis police that ho had nsslstcd In tho
murder of John Robson In this city last
December, will not bo arraigned for trial
her until the next term ot the district
court, which will open October 22. The
county attorney has not cvinted any
anxiety to bring the caso to an Immediate,
trial and Peyton's attorneys Intlmato that
the police have not as much evidence
agnlnst him as they would like, Ills plea
of "not guilty" rather upset tbo ofllcers,
who expected him to plead ullty and take
tbo consequences of his alleged crime. It
Is very evident from the manner In which
Peyton Is guarded that tho officers con
sider him a dangerous man. He la kept In
a steel cage and the Jailor has strict orders
to allow no ouo to see him.

Pnmt and Present,
(Correspondence of the Associated Presi )
HONOLULU, Hawaii, Sept. U3. Tho na
tive Huwalians are showing much Interest
In thu approaching election ot a delegate to
congress and nro icgisteilng rapidly and lu
great numbers. Out of 2,700 voters regis
tered on the Island of Ohu, on which this
city Is situated, nearly S 000 are IIiiwulluiu.
This Interest Is ery likely produced by tho
report which has been circulated among
them tbnt If they succeed In electing a del
egate tbo annexation bill will be repealed
nnd tho queen restored to thu throuc. The
hotter educated of the natives liavo Monti -fid
themselves with elthor tho republican or
democratic parties In the Islands, but largo
numbers, led by R. W. Wilcox, are Insisting
ou an Independent organization. It Is
clnlincd If theso Independent voters succeed
in fctifltnlulng their organization and work
together at the election they vlll swamp
thu party organisations. Hut the native llu
wallau Is not ns n rule an astute politician
and Is easily led by strong leaders. It Is
doubtful If an independent organization
among Uiem will provo successful, and It is
likely that many will coalesce with ono or
the other of the regular parties.
lli-lHllllll'lllm lit (Mill.
There aro Indications of a lack of har
mony In republican ranks over local Issues,
Up to tho present time there has been no
local government lu any of tho towns, all
inattcm being conducted by the general gov
ernment. Many who have become residents
ot thu UlaudB slnco annexation are clamor
ing for local munlclpul governments, while
the Kuamnluals, or old tcsldcnts, aro firmly
opposed to such a departure, believing that
the government can bu more economically
administered as at present.
It has been generally understood that
Prince David ot tho Kalkaua llnu would ho
thp cnndldate for delegate to congress on
thu democratic ticket. The prince Is tho
ion of a deceased sister of the lato King
Kalkana and of Lllluokalanl, and with his
brother. Prince Cupid, a legateo under tho
will of the lato auecn dowaccr. Knniolanl.
The candidate of tho' Independent or antl-
whlte party will bo It. W- Wilcox, the leader
ot the movement, a half whl to and (u.ly
Identified with the native element. He has
recently mado n tour ot the Islands for the
purpose ot exciting an anti-white ex. Itc
ment. The republican candidate for congress will
be Samuel Parker, a halt-whlto native.
Mnny signs point to tho election of Wilcox.
