The usual grist of petitions were read and referred. The city attorney informed the honorable body that a town-Bhip road could not be vacate! unless the usual steps were taken by the council or commissi' nera. Tha same official gave aa hi opinion that the pptitioa for refunding taxes to M. R. Davey should be refused.

The land on which the tax was assessed was leased to the homo for the friendless, but Divey ought to piy the taxes as he received a rental for. The tax of A. Bloch, tha dry there- goods merchant, were ordered refunded, it having baea satisfactorily shown that the gentleman had piii" taxes on the same goods in Kinsas, moving to Lincoln.

Fire Chief Newbury read a special report oa the muter of lira escapes.

The report was not completed, but shows that there are but few buildings in the city that make any preteasa to having adequate fire escipes. The chief made a lew suggestions as to what kind of escapes should bo provided ia certain tiases. The ordinance requires all buildings of three stories or more in height to uave the oroper escapes, but the law is almost, a dead letter.

Will be Discharged. Since the above was put in type it: Is learned from reliable authority that both Curtia and Mrs. Woods, will be dis charged, the attorneys simply waiting for aa order of the comt to that Robert aa old colored mar, wa3 murdered in bed one night In April of last year. John Taylor, Charles Cur- tis and Woods' wif6 were arrested for the crime." Taylor made a confession to the effect that Curtis had hired him to kill Woods for fifty dollars and furnished the gun.

The confession was not admitted In evidence, but Taylor was convicted of murder in the Becoud degree and sentenced by Judge Chapman to imprisonment for life. The charge against the other two is murder in the firs desrree and conspiracy to commit murder. Cur tis had for ms timo maintained illicit relaiions with Mrs. Woods. The prosecution ha3 not evidence esough to convict, they believe; hence the discharge.

Getting Back at Him. Some weeks eince E. Spencer filed suit in district court against J. D. John son and George Stevens of Crete, claim ing that they defrauding him out of a thousand dollars by unloading on him a lot of worthless stock in the Globe Pub HshlDg company of Today the defendants filed their answer, and it Is somewhat juiny.

They set forth that they owned $700 worth of the stock, and $4u0 was owned by Mrs. Anna Hahn That In 18SG Spencer came to them un solicited and importuned them to sell the stork to him. That he wanted to bi-an editor and manage the cone rn. They finally sola him the stock, but that no misrepresentation of the condition of the office was made to him. That Spencer had long been an employ of the pper, and was in fact mow familiar with its condition than the owners.

Plaintiff had charge of the office for nearly three years, and they say that when he went in they were doing a good business, that the concern was entirely solvent, and wa3 pajing a big revenue that plaintiff by his mismanagement, neglect and carelnssnees, and by reaso oi his misappropriation of funds and dissolute habits, allowed the stock to de crease io value. Tne business fell off, the advertising and subscription list decreased until only a fraction of its armer voluptuousness remained. Trie was finally closed out under mortgage. Wherefore they ask that the case be dismissed. i Street School Closed.

ACCIDENT AT PAPER MILL Only Hie Nerve and Presence of Mind Saves Hie Bight Arm The Standard Street Hallway Enjoined from Layiog Track on Twelfth Btreet Horse Sale- Caught Between the Boilers. Samuel Young, an eighteen-year-old employe of the Lincoln paper mill, had a very narrow esc tpe this morning from serious injury. It is his duty to feed the big Bheeto of paper through the dry rollers, and while at work this morning the sleeve of his coat caught between the revolving rollers, and held it like a vice until a portion of the flesh was burned from off his right arm from the wrist to the elbow. The sleeve caught near the elbow, and with great pretence of mind the young man grasped his arm with his left hand, and bracing bimeeif tried to keep it fr-m being pulled la. He yelled for help, but tt was Beveral minutes before the machinery could be stopped, and ten minutes before the arm could be removed from the rollers.

He was removed to his home about a quarter of a mile distant, anu the terrible flesh wounds dressed by the aid of skillful surgeons. The doctors hope to save the arm. The coat sleeve was torn into shreds. The ung fellow's nerve is all that saved him from being minus an arm. Stopped the "Work.

At an early hour this morning John Sheedy, through his attorney D. G. Court-nay, applied to the district court for an order restraining the Standard Street railway company, L. G. M.

Baldwin and all employes of said company from tearing up the paving on Twelfth street bsr tween and for the purpose of laying a third track for the use of said corporation. The plaintiff sets forth that ha is the owner of 142 feet of the block frontage, and that he would be greatly damaged by the placing of railway tracks there. He further says that the Rapid Transit company have already in use two tracks on said ttreet, and that the charter of the Standard company does not allow them to put a track down on any street where there are already two tracks. That the law under which tue city was created provides that buttwo tracks only shall be laid on aDy one street, and if a third company wants to come in the street th-y must get the consent of the compares already operating on the same. Judge Chapman issued restraining order, and Deputy Sheriff Hoxle went "own this morning and Btopped proceedings.

The company had already torn up the paving for half a block, and had one section, cr twenty feet of rails down. Attached the Stock. There was a little hitch this morning in the advertised sale of trotting horses at the fair rounds. It was caused by the interference of the law as impersonated by Deputy Sheriff Hoagland. Late last evening the Kit Carter Cattle company filed suit in district court against E.

M. McGillln Co, the owners of the horses referred to, for $85,000, due on seventeen prOmiflsory noted which had not been p-iid. An order of attachment was issued, and Hoagland, accompanied by Al Beach and J. Roger-, went out and attached the horses, which numbered sixty-four, also three bulla, foriy cows and fifteen calves. The matter was arranged about 11 o'clock, and the deputy allowed the sale to proceed under the conditions agreed to.

This suit is a relic of the famous case of the Kit Carter Cattle company vs. The Hailem Cattle company. The defendants live at Stratton. Baal Estate Exchange. Mr.

Butler of the special committee on auction sales reported thit he had talked with Several parties interested, al) were unanimous in favor of institu- ig an auction every day at the ex change rooms. Col. Pace suggested that the auctions be held weekly in the evening, he thought this would be the more success ful way. He referred to Denver as conducting their sales in that manner. Mr.

K'nney moved that the board of directors submit a plan to the excaaLge in reference to the selling of property at Section. Mr. Moseley asked that a reso'ution be passed asking the council to remit the taxes on all manufacturing plants about to locate in the city for a term of years, which will make another inducement towards bringing Institutions to the city was thouaht that the council could not do this, as it was not constitutional. Mr. Blodgett Speaks.

A News reporter met Mr. Blodgett thfs morning. Mr. B. ia the defendant in the suit brought yesterday in county court by Jonathan Grant, who alleged that Blod gett had taken advantage of his feeble mental condition to defraud him out of some lots.

Mr. Blodgett said in response to the request for a statement: I sold the lota to Grant in 1885, and bought them back again in 1836. giving him a fair pront on the investment, tie was satisfied with the transaction for four but during that time the lots became valuable. In 188o they were worth about $0 each, in 1883 the had advanced to $100 apiece, and as a mattei i.f fact I soli Jot 1, block for a hundred dollars, giving the purchase-time on the whole of it. Since then the lots have advanced in value until now they are worth $600 each.

There was no fraud in the transaction, but where the shoe pinches Grant is that he sold the property too soon, fiiy answer win De filed as soon as I get around to it Lincoln Base Ball Club.

IMHOFF, Caahier, A Philosopher's View of Labor Strife. "The end of sfrlfe would be the end of progress; uch is not the intention of Divine Providence." Bismarck. Such is the view of a philosophic mind which has bad more dictatorial experience with labor agitation than any other Individual on the old continent. It is a remarkable fact that the philosopher is the man who stands apart and watches the struggle without engaging in it. Before Prince Bismarck tendered his resignation and lld aside the irdens of the government of Germany, h- did not take fluch a calm and philosophical view of the labor troubles.

But there if truth in what he says, just the same, and his remark shows tnat Oermany has lost a prime minister to gain a great moral philosopher who can look upon the questions of the day from the height of retirement, and be able to pay things for which only Prince Bismarck will be responsible.
