William Lewis, proprietor of one of the
city hack and transfer lines, and Harry
Johnson hack driver, got INTO an alterca-
tion in front of the government building last
evening, in regard to the collection of some
hack fares, and soon came to blows. The
crowd that quickly assembled were treated
to the sight of these two armed with paving
stones and bricks, chasing each other up and
down the street, in regular first-two- forward
and-back style. A police call was turned
in, and Officer Calvin soon appeared,
aud ATTEMPTED to arrest Lewis, but
he sWore that no officer in the city could ar
rest him, and marched off. Calvin went to
the Office of the city clerk and swore out a
warrant and Captain O'Brien started to try
his luck. He found Lewis at the Omaha" !"
near the dummy depot, and asked HIM to
step outside. Lewis complied but refused to
go any further. Several hack drivers and
loafers were standing around and told him
not to go step. He said he would not
walk up Broadway with an officer,
and O'Brien struck him over the head
with his billy, just as Lewis reached for him.
Some one tripped the officer, who fell fiat on
the stone steps. AS he arose and was getting
in some more work with his billy, Officer
Covalt rushed up and helped make the arrest.
Lewis was taken to the station, and soon
after Johnson was brought in by Officer
Tamisea. Later Jack Larkins, the pugllist,
was arrested for resisting an officer, as he
was the one who tripped O'Brien. Bail was
furnished by all the parties, who will have a
hearing this morning.

SChsslcf IFlcu again II OF hINTucF,
The district court was busy ali oi yesterday
in the trial Of Schisslcr for the killing of old
man Heating. This being the second trial
the public is quite cCnverssEt with the facts.
Tho testimony was yery much like that given
on the previous trial, which resulted in dis
agreement Of The Jury. Two witnesses who
on the former trial testified on the part of
the stats were used by the defense this
time. They were Hayes and his son, boy
oftweivo years. Hayes WAS the one who
stood between Keating and Schiss!er when
Ksatins came towards Schisslor in u threat
eping manner, aud with hand behind him,
threstening To shoot Schissler. Hayes
jumped TO one side, leaving Schissler ex-
posed, and about that moment Schiss!ershnt,
as he claims, in self-defense, believing that
keatiag was about TO shoot him. The boy gave

At the River.

The river is falling quite fast, the highest
point of the year being reached about l
o'clock yesterday morning. Nearly seventy
feet has been cut from above Gumbo point
and forty feet below during the last year, by
water and yesterday the river was full OF
large Jumps of dirt that had caved from the
banks, and were being carried down stream
The current was running in the morning at
the rate of eight miles an hour, and an i'm
mense amount of water was moving, rush
ing southwark inside the river banks. The
water fell sufficiently during the morning to
allow the waterworks company to replace
their engine and pump on the river bank
just below Gumbo point, and pumping from
the river will be resumed tomorrow. Dur
ing the high water a short levee was thrown
up southeast of the pump house to prevent
the water from cutting across and washing
out the conduit leading to the subsidiary
reservoir The water was much higher here
than at Sioux City, but luckily did no dam
age The power house ut the new bridge
was above the mark reached by the water,
and work can be resumed on the piers in u
very short time. The span already com
pleted ON the Nebraska shore shows up well
from this side, and work on the trestle APP
proach is nearly finished. Work is now
being pushed on the trestle that crosses the
subsidiary lake of the waterworks company.
The bridge company have not suffered any
great damage by reason of the high water,
although the breaking up of the ice carried
away several hundred dollars worth of lum-
Der and other material II is thought that
by the time of the June rise work will be
sufficiently advanced to he out of all danger
of interruption or destruction. 1t is very
probable that the structure will be entirely
completed by the middle of the summer.

The Financial Question.

The same old problem that staggers the
leading statesmen of the world is coming be-
fore the South Omaha council and for the
next two or three weeks they will have TO
struggle with the question of finances. The
old council has left them a legacy of
debt that might have been avoided
with only slight amount Of care, and
ability. Who were really to blame makes no
difference now, but it is a fact that the city
is out some thousands of dollars, and the
BEE is only making note of the fact to pre-
vent the present council from falling into a
similar error. They will have to see that
they get every dollar from the county and
the taxpayers that the law allows, and
their funds every taxpayer will be
repaid an hundred fold. Last year
the levy was only 10 mills on an assessment
of $4,000, while II might have been much
more. That gave the city only s., 800 to ex-
pend, while the the running expenses-sal-
aries, rents, etc.-amounted to over IS 900.
In addition 10 this there were numerous
minor expenses, which all accumulated until
the present, when the council are faced with
a judgment of IS, 900 against them, a floating
Indebtedness of about 81 ,00O and the police
men clammoring for pay. They have 81. 100 in
the general fund TO meet this, and expect
tide them over until the next levy is made.
What they want, is TO see that fair assess
ment is made, that a fair levy Is handed in
TO the county commissioners, and that all de-
linquent taxpayers are brought to book.
! There is life enough in South Omaha to face
ten times the trouble and /. only remains for
the council 70 see that Ii Is done.

saloon, this boy, by his own statement, was

When the boy was asked how many glasses
of beer be drank he ssia he did not drink
The defendant did not 90 onto the stand
this time. The evidence which he would
have given was given in substance by the
other witnesses, IL being TO the effect that he
thought Keating was going to shoot him, and
so shot first, it being in self-defense.
The testimony was closed about o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and the case reached
the jury little later.
The jury agreed upon verdict about s
o'clock last evening, Word was communi-
Gated to the sheriff, who Immediately sent
for Judge Deemer. The defendant was in
the charge of the sheriff, and during the de-
liberations of the jury he was very hopeful,
and yet anxious, for what did their decision
not mean TO him-llfe, freedom, home. fam
lily on the one hand, incarceration with the
felon's stripes and bars, and perhaps death
on the other. He listened to the stories and
jokes of the bailiffs, and occasionally smile
would cross his face, but his concern was
plainly manifest to all. When the Judge ar
rived the Jury were called in. The verdict
was in the hands of the foreman, and Schis
ler's eyes seemed glued TO the paper.
He watched it until the Judge broke
the seal He could stand it no
longer and his eyes sought the floor.
The verdict was an acquittal which when
the accused fully understood he leaped to his
feet in a transport of Joy. He shook hands
with the Judge and every member of the
jury, thanking each for their part in his re-
lease. None of the attorneys for the state or
the defense were present. Schisler then
turned to Sheriff O'Neil. He thanked him
for his kindness to him during his imprison-
ment; SAID he had been treated well but be-
leved he did not want to stay with him any
longer. He then passed out into the evening
free man. He went directly home, where
there was most joyous reunion of father,
wife and children. Last night was his first
night at home in eighteen months. The SEN
timent of the community will indorse this
verdict.

Advices from the fishing village of Kersch-

White sea, describe wonderful phenomenon
new in Arctic annals, which took place on
Jan. 6 last At O'Clock in the morning
the inhabitants were awakened by series of
heavy, dull detonations like distant artillery.
Shortly afterward great ice wall to the
northwest, several hundred feet high, was
seen TO be moving toward the village, doubt
less In consequence of the pressure of ocean
ice outside. The ice hills came slowly but
irresistibly onward and passed over the
village, which they completely erased, and
kept onward for a mile inland. The ice
