S 1608 HARNEY STREET AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Startling DiscoTery Made in Connection with City darter. PAVING SECTION HAS BEEN REPEALED . Law that Allowed C'Hy to Par for Two-Third of Work on Certain street la Found to Hare Bern Killed. It Is more than likely that the city council will not open bids for the paving and grading; 0f Missouri avenue on Monday night. Yesterday the discovery was made that the last legislature had repealed the law permitting the council to order paving done iere the city at large Is to pay two-thirds of the cost and the abutting property owners one-third. It was under this law that South Twenty-fourth street and Railroad avenuo wii paved last year. The plan appeared to suit the people and there was no demand made upon the Douglas county delegation, as far as known, asking that this section of the charter be repealed. In the amended charter provision Is made for the repavlng of Twenty-fourth street from A to Q streets, two-flfths of the cost being paid by the abutting property own ers and three-flfths by the city at large. When this amendment was made to the charter In some way, sub-division 16 of section 128 was repealed. This amended charter passed with the emergency clause and Is now a law. A meeting of city officials was held Saturday afternoon to discuss the amended charter, and an effort will be made to ascertain If there la not an error In the engrossing of the bill. Unless the error can be recti fied the paving and grading of Missouri aveiiue and of West Q streets will have to be postponed until a petition Is presented to the council bearing the signatures of the majority of the property owners. Residents In the eastern portion of the city are very anxious to have Missouri avenue paved, and In case It Is found that the council cannot go ahead under the old law, petitions will be circulated among the property owners with a' view to securing enough signers. The same action will most likely be taken in regard to the pav ing of West Q street. Just as soon as the tangle Is straightened out action will be taken towards the re pavlng of Twenty-fourth street. Porterfleld Had Money. When the body of Peter Porterfleld was taken to Brewer's undertaking rooms, after the accident In the Northwestern yards, which resulted In death. It was found that the deceased had $2,750 on his person. This money was all in bills, and the condition of the wallet and bills showed that the money had been carried for years. Under taker Brewer stated that an Inquest would be held by Coroner Bralley on Monday. The money was placed in the Packers' National bank for safe keeping. Under taker Brewer has telegraphed a num ber of relatives of Porterfleld. Train master Roach stated that Porterfleld lived at Norfolk and was a single man. lie also stated that he was worth about 110,000. No arrangements for the funeral will be made until relatives arrive today. At the time Porterfleld met his death he was In specting an air brake on his train and was between a couple of freight cars when the train moved a few feet. Conductor Porterfleld's hand was caught between, the bumpers and crushed. His right leg was cut off. Dr. Siabaugh was called but he declared that death had been instanta neous.

PAYS FOR ERROR OF TEXAS Federal Government Sends $BOO to Mexican Who Was Shot by Ranger. WASHINGTON, April 15. Failure of a Mexican citizen to obtain satisfaction from the authorities of Cameron county, Texas, for personal injuries suffered in that county, evoked a serious complaint to tho Washington government from the Mexican government against the Texan authorities and caused Secretary Hy several months ago to offer out of the federal treasury $600 to Mexico in satisfaction of Its official claim for damages. The story is toia in official . correspondence published at the State department today. Euloglo Zam brano, a Mexican cltlsen, pawned a rifle at Brownevllle, Tex., belonging to a cltl sen of that town, was arrested, and while being carried to Jail It is claimed he attempted to escape and was shot at and wounded by Private McKensle of the Texan Ranger force. The Mexican consul reported that Zambrano was tried and sen tenced -without any account being taken by the court of the wounds Inflicted by McKensle, but the Judge in passing sen tence on the prisoner told him that he in flicted a light punishment because he had been wounded. This statement, in the opinion of the Mexican government, af forded ground to Insist that the wounding was unwarranted. In a note to Secretary Hay the Mexican ambassador at Washing ton entered a formal complaint against the Texas authorities on account "of the alight respect they usually evince for the Uvea and Interests of Mexicans residing on this side of the border," and asked for an Indemnity on behalf of Zambrano., Secretary Hay In reply said: "I have the honor to say that the department, after careful Investigation of all the circum stances, has reached the conclusion that some compensation should be mads to Zam brano because of the failure of the author ities of Cameron county, Texas, to try and punish Ranger McKensle for unlaw fully shooting him, and it Is willing to make payment to you, In behalf of Zam brano of th sum of $S00 in full settlement of the matter." This offer was accepted by the Mexican government and the Incident was closed. Watch for our Sunday Ad. Miller, Stew art Beaton. Ilsrsli Jry red. LEXINGTON.
