Of opening the Ogden, and was associated in

merly of the Mllard, in Omaha. The hotel
was thrown open to the public barely week
ago, and Mr.. Hunt was seriously ill at the
time from overexertion in preparing for the

and during the five years preceding his COM
ing here he was manager of the Southern
hotel at St. Louis.

The Pacific Property Priced.

IHe THCIIIC property FrICeU,
The members of the Pacific hotel syn
dicate held a meeting last evening to fix
upon price upon the property, as the board
of trade are considering it as possible loca-
tion for the new hotel. Blank bids were
submitted by each member, and upon being
opened there was found to be only a differ
ence of $500 between the highest and lowest
The price finally agreed upon was S35, 600 ii
the purchasers would erect hotel on the site,
but otherwise the price would not be less
than $4,000. Some of the members clam
that they would rather see the new hotel
erected on some other location, as they
would receive much more for this property
in that event. At the last evenings meeting
the owners came nearer being of one mind
than ever before, and it may be regarded as
something remarkable that they could man
age TO agree on any price.

BENCH AND BAR.
United States Court.

The testimony in the case of Fairbanks
against the city of Blair, a suit to recover
$4,000 for waterworks construction, was
finished yesterday afternoon and the case
will go to the jury this morning.
Two bills in equity were filed in the dis
trict court yesterday. Mary A. Whitney, of
Boston, seeks to recover on note of $1,000
given April l, 1886, by John S. Richards, of
Nemaha county, Nebraska. The note was
for four years, with eight semiannual
interest coupons of $50 each. 1t was secured
by mortgage on l45 acres of land IN Ne
maha county The first two interest coupons
We're not paid. The note was given to the
Lombard Investment company, composed
of Robert Ord of Nemaha county and B.
Lombard of Boston, and by them was sold
to the complainant. She also sues on a 5000
note, made, sold and defaulted in like man
ner and asks for $3.50 for attorneys fee.
Andrew j. Reuck asks the court to protect
him from the prosecution of the Union
National bank of Omaha. He recites that on
january "a 1888, he gave note for So, 300 to
James A. Brown, then in the book and
stationery business. 1t was an accommoda-
tion note, for which no consideration was re-
ceived by Reuck, Brown promising to pay it
at maturity, which would be March a. 1888
Before maturity Brown had made
an assignment and became insolvent. Reuck
alleges that the transfer was made to de-
fraud him of the amount of the note. The
latter had been guaranteed-by David Kauf-
man, Kaufman Bros. and E. p. Davis, but
the Kaufmans had also become insolvent
The note had been discounted by the Union
National bank On May u the bank began
suit against Reuck for its payment, and
made co-defendants of Brown and the guar
antors. Reuck alleges that Brown, at the
time of cashing the note, deposited collateral
security of some kind, just what Reuck
doesn't seem to know. Reuck has repeatedly
asked the bank to apply the collateral to-
wards the payment of the note. He now
asks the court ip equity 70, stay the prQceed-
ipgs Of the bank against him, and seeks to
force the bank TO disclose the nature of it's
collateral and applY the latter on the note.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Prominent Members DO Not Agree with
MIR. Barry's Prediction of an Early
Death for the Organization.

PITTsBURG, Oct. I'm commenting on the
resignation OF Thomas Barry of the general
board Of the Knights of Labor, Homer L.
McGaw, ex-master workman of district as
sembly No. 8, said that he did not believe
that the order would die within year, as
Mr. Barry predicted. He admitted that the
membership had fallen OF considerably within
the past two years.
Ex-Master Workman Evans of District
assembly No. 3, was more emphatic In his
language concerning Barry's resignation.
TON Barry's sickness he said, ''has Inn
paired his mind, ond he does not know what
he is talking about. The order will not go to
pieces In year, nor in n thousand years
Notwithstanding Powderly's declaration
that he will not be candidate for the general
master workmanship again, / am positive
that he does not mean what he says and will
be a candidate, and he will be elected, too"
Another member of the same district as
sembly, who has just returned from Phila
delphia, says he was furnished with some in
teresting data ON the membership of the
order. They are as follows beginning with
the general assembly Mt Hamilton, Ont, in
1885: at Hamilton QSS5, 543, 262; at Rich
mond 1856, about 10000; at Minneapolis
$3.50, 49,, ISL; at present, 252, 81.
The gentleman also stated that the order is
$4,000 in debt, and he obtained his informa-
ton from General Secretary Hayes, who has
charge of the books The assets of the order
consist of building that cost So, Goo but is
now considered TO be worth fully $50, 600.
The voluntary assessments of y cents levied
for educational purposes resulted in the re-
ceipt of $4,000, which is being used for that
PURPOSE.
