MOTOR COMPANY CALLED OFF
IU Effort to Sneak a Stroot Blocked by
Major Jennings,
PERMISSION NOT GRANTED BY COUNCIL
Allempt I'iiiIp.' tlir Cover of the Su

The motor company commenced yrstcr
dnv ufternoon to lay Its second track on
South Main street, south of the Burling
ton crossing and was promptly stopped by
Mayor Jennings. The mayor notified Gen
eral Manager Ulmmock that tho work
could not proceed until tho sanction of the
city council had been secured. Ho called
Manager Dlmraock's attention to the fact
that the request of the motor company to
lav n double track on this street had been
laid on the table and no action ever taken
on It. Until tho council gives Its consent,
no work can bo done by the motor com
pany on that or any other street as far as
laying a second track Is concerned.
Manager Pltnmock Informed tho mayor
that the work Is not being dono by tho
motor company, but by the Suburban com
pany, nnd that It has a right to lay a
trark on South Main street under Its fran
chise which the people voted In Docembor,
1897. Tho mavor refused to let tho work
proceed, giving as his reason, that even It
It was the Suburban company that was lay
ing the track. It has no right to do so un
til It has paid Into tho city treasury an
amount to rover the original cost of tho
paving on that portion of the struct.
"That money, amounting to close upon
J3.000. wns paid to the city the night we
annlled to lay a second track on this
street," said Manager Dlmmock.
"The old motor company handed In Its
check for the amount, I admit," answered
Mayor Jennings, "but I havo no recollec
tion of tho Suburban company paying In
anvthlne."
Then the mayor proceeded to ixplaln to
Mr. Dlmmock that ho could not recognize
the payment by the old motor company as
being fcr tho Suburban company, and they
adlourned to Attorney Wright's office to
talk the matter over.
Mayor Jennings explained his under
standing of the situation and Attorney
Wright admitted thero might ' be sotno
technical question as to the pnyment of
the cost of the paving, but that the matter
could readily bo arranged, he thought,
After a lengthy conference, It was finally
agreed bv the motor company to stop tho
work until after the meeting of tho city
council Thursday night. At that time the
motor company will withdraw Its check
deposited on the Main street paving, assign
It to the Suburban company and again
nrescnt It in behalf of the latter corpora
tion. MATTKIIS IK TUT, I1INTHICT COURT.
Xnnh AKitlnat the Vnlnn Land Com
pany TitUrn Under Advisement.
The arguments In tho suit of IC. W. Nash
against the Union Land nnd Improvement
company, John W. Paul and others were
completed and the raso submitted to tho
court yesterday afternoon. Judge Macy
took his decision under ndvlsemcnt and
stated he would hand It down In a few
days. In making the record entry for tho
day Judgo Macy took occasion to remark
that ho did not think the plaintiff had es
tablished his claim that the several Judg
ments against tho company had been ob
tained through fraud nnd collusion aud
that practically the only question loft to
doclde was whether tho stock held by Nash
was paid up or not.
The result of tho cult Is being watchod
with morn than ordinary Interest, as It in
ono out ot tho common run. Creditors of
tho defunct Union Land and Improvement
company who havo secured judg
ments which they have been unablo
to satisfy brought suits In the
district court here to recover from
Nash, alleging that he subscribed for $100,
000 worth ot stock and only paid up $30,000,
leaving him indebted to the company In tho
sum of (70,000. Nash, on the other hand,
alloges tbat theso JuCgmonts were ob
tained by fraud and collusion far tho ex
press purpose of trying to hold him liable,
and the suit at bar Is to restrain these
creditors and others from further involving
him In litigation In this connection.
Arguments In tho suit of Dr. O. C. Rogers
against Sam Friedman, a pawnbroker of
this city, appealed from the court of Jus
tice Verrler, wore submitted , and tho caso
taken under advisement by Judgo Macy
yesterday, A case ot surgical instruments
were stolen from Dr. Rogers and pawned
by the thief with Friedman. Tho police
located the goods and on their advlco Dr.
Rodgew agreed to refund Friedman the
amount he had loaned on them. Several
weeks, it Is alleged by Friedman, passed by
without his hearing from Dr. Rodgors nnd
ho finally sold tho instruments. A few
days after the salo Dr. Rodgers called for
tho case and when ho learned that tho
pawnbroker had sold them brought replevin
proceedings In Justlco Ferrler's court,
where ho secured a Judgment against Fried
man for their valuo. Frlodraan appealed,
contending that as he was not in posses
sion they could not be rcplevlned.
Judgo Green sent word yesterday to Clerk
Reed of the district court that ho would
conveno tho November term, empanel tho
Jury and make an assignment of causes
Wednesday afternoon, Novorabcr 7, at 3:30
o'clock. The regular date for the opening

Work 011 I'nrlnir,
Work on the Washington avenue paving
1 proceeding rapidly despite the unfavor
able weather. The top course of Des
Moines brick has been laid for nearly two
blocks and the lower course of homo
made brick li down for a distance of over
three blocks. Owing to the rain It was
found Impossible to spread the surfacing
sand yesterday,
On Tenth avenue the paving has come to
a standstill, awaiting the decision ot the
Union Pacific as to changing the grade ot
Its tracks.
The motor company Is pushing Its work
on Ilrondway ahead nnd Contractor Wlck
batu expects to bo able in a few days to
commence laying the concrete base for
the brick It Is still unsettled whether
this portion of tho street will be paved
with Des Moines or Oalesburg brick. The
Des Moines brick received so far Is con
sidered to be the finest ever ued In this
city. It Is of a very dark color, ap
parently as hard as flint and very heavy.
It Is expected that as soon as the motor
company fixes Its tracks on Pierce street
between First and Stutsman streets paving
will be commenced there. Contractor
Wlckham also expects to pave Fourth
street before the snow files.
Objects to the Assessment,
Dr. W. L. Patton filed yetterdsy with the
city clerk objections to the assessment
gaUst bit property tor the paving of
North Main street. He owns two lots on
the east sldo of tho street, the assessment
against which Is $434.16, It paid In cash, or
$465.34 If paid In certificates. The allega
tion Is made that tho assessment la Illegal
and void for several reasons, ono being
that the cost of the paving ot the Inter
sections has been assessed to the abutting
nnd adjacent property, also tho incidental
expenses connected with the work, such as
advertising, preparing the plats, Inspec
tion, etc.
Dr. l'ntton clatml that JC3.C3 has been
assessed up against his lots for the Inter
section paving. Ho also asserts that tho
benefit derived by his property from the
Improvement docs not oxeced $50 and that
Its valuo has not been increased by reason
of tho paving. This Is tho first objection
raised to tho assessment.

Meeting nt SltMvnrt'n Ofllnc Selects n
Committee to Outline n. l'lnn.
Although tho meeting ot creditors ot
Officer & Pusey's bank held yesterday after
noon In the office ot Attorney J. J. Stewart
was originally only Intended for a number
of Mr. Stewart's clients, tho publicity
given It brought together nearly 100 per
sons who havo tnonoy tied up In tho In
stitution. Mr. Stownrt presided and explained that
the meeting had been Intended to bo a
private one, but that evoryone present was
at liberty to express his opinions and make
any suggestions ho desired. He stated that
tho object of tho mooting was not In any
way to harrass tho receivers, but several
ot the creditors believed that with co-oprea-tlon
their Interests could bo better looked
after. After the situation had boon more
or less freely discussed, the following execu
tive committee was nppolntod to formulate
a plan of action: J. J. Stewart, chairman,
H. Ourcn, S. O. Underwood, J. R. McPher
bou, J. K. Cooper. This committee Is to
report at a meeting to bo called In tho near
future.
The question ot taking tho matter ot
tho liquidation of tho bank's business Into
the United States district court under bank
ruptcy proceedings was discussed, but did
not appear to moot with favor by a num
ber of thoso presont. Tho suggestion was
made that tho district court bo asked to
appoint other receivers In placo of tho pres
ont ones, but this wan quickly voted down
nnd tho decision reached to leavo tho
matter of forming a plan of action with the
executive committee.
Asldo from what transpired at' tho meet
ing In J. J. Stewart's ofilco, there wns con
siderable talk among tho creditors of tho
bank of npplylng to the court for tho ap
pointment of now receivers. Thoso favor
ing this action do not wish to bo construed
as having for ono moment any douhU as
to tho Integrity of the present receivers,
but thoy express tho opinion that Mr. Ilere
shelm's connection with tho Council Illuffs
Snvlngs bank naturally engages the major
portion ot his time-, nnd that with a re
ceiver not thus engnged tho affairs of the
firm could bo moro quickly liquidated. With
regard to Receiver Murphy, It Is contended,
that owing to his lntlmato connection with
the suspended Institution as confidential
bookkeeper for so many years, It-might have
been bettor had a disinterested person been
appointed In his stead.
The claims filed against tho bank yester
day with tho clerk of tho district court
aggregated about Jl.fiOO.

DBS MOINKS, Oct. 30. (Special Tele

of 339,930 population for the stato ot Iowa
tor the ten years Just pasted will glvo tho

ot representation remains about the same.
Should It be Increased to 240,000, as Iwb
been suggested by some, then the state will
only receive one additional congressman,
making twelvo altogether. Congress Is
composed of 357 members, and should the
numbor remain the same In tho next con
gress elected on a changed representation
It la moro than probable that Iowa will
receive two aitltlrtnnol miml,

SIOUX CITY. In., Oct. 30. (Special.)
Governor H. S. Plngreo of Michigan haa
written n letter to Dr. J. C. Clark of Sioux
City, denying that ho has come out for
Bryan, as utated some tlmo ago In great
Btarlng type by Hearst's Chicago American.
On tho occasion of a visit of Governor
Plngreo to Chicago tho American published
a largo picture of him, and underneath it
declared In words that Btroched across tho
pago that Governor Plngreo hod como out
for Bryan, because thoro was ho longer any
hope for tho American people under a re
publican administration. Doubting the au
thenticity of this Interview, Dr. Clark wrote
to Governor Pingree about It on tho strength
of long acquolntanco and numerous votos
cast for him. His letter to the governor
was as follows;

tho opinion whllo tho reporter was present
that tho people of Michigan could not ex
pect any luxation legislation favorable to
them unless they elected a democratic state
senate. At tho time tho inervlew which
you send me was published tho republican
scnato had four times defeated measures
providing for tho. equitable taxation of the
property of railroads and other corpora

to pay. Since, then, however, tho legisla

City Offleera Are Sued.
ATLANTIC, la.. Oct. 30. (Special.)
Suit has been brought in this city
agaiuat tho county treasurer, county au
ditor and board of supervisors, with a
view of stopping the collection of back
taxes as dono by Mr. Welraan, with whom
the board of supervisors made a contract
last year giving Mr. Welmin halt ot the
collections. A writ ot mandamus Is asked
for instructing tho treasurer to deliver
the taxes received among the various tnx
funds and tho board ot supervisors from
paying Mr. Welmnr. moro than 15 per cent
ot the money collected In accordance with
the law passed by the last legislature.
Th suit Is brought In tho namo ot II. A.
Dlsbrow. It Is expected that this will set
tle the question of legality ot tho contract
mado by tho board with Tax Collector Wol
man.
A great many democrats aro declaring
themsolves as opposed to tho re-election ot
Ocorgo W. Shields as county attorney. This
opposition to Shields Is being encouraged
by Dr. Ensor nnd other democrats who
vtero Interested In tho administration prior
to the election of Mayor Kelly. It Is openly
stated on tho streets that Shields gavo the
democrats hero what Is called In tho slang
of the street tho doublo cross. As Shields
broko faith with tho democrats hero ho
is going to bo paid back In tho same coin.
At least that Is what democrats who are
In a position to know nsscrt. Tho prin
cipal cry ot leading democrats now Is to
detent Shields nt any cost nnd It in re
ported that every effort is being mado by
Dr. Ensor and hln friends to carry out tho
program laid down. It Is freely predicted
tbat Shields will not get enough votes In
South Omaha to mako It worth counting
tbem.
On the other hand tho popularity ot
Johu W. Parish, republican candidato for
county attorney, In Increasing dally. He
Is exceedingly well thought of In lnbor
circles nnd from what Is heard on the
streots members of tho various labor unions
here will support him heartily, as he Is
known to bo a stanch supporter ot union
labor.
South Omaha people appear to denim a
man for county nttorncy who will keep his
word and who will conduct the legal de
partment of tho county In nn honest,
tralghtforward manner. That Is why Par
ish will get a big voto here, as ho Is consid
ered tho right man for tho place.
