Doings In Council.
The only chance given Hascall at the coun-
Gil meeting last night to say city hall was
when a communication was read from Cadet
Taylor, OF the Republican, setting up n kick
against the communication Of Mayor Broatch,
received some weeks ago, that the city adver-
tise for bids for printing the revised city
ordinances, Cadet claiming that he was en-
titled to the work on the slender plea that his
company had gone 10 some expense in pre-
pairing for the work which they expected to
undertake last fall. Cadet followed up this
how by disclosing a musty smelling com
munication from MIR. w. j. Cornell, in which
the latter gentleman suggested that a litho.
graph of the city hall would make an APP
propriate and pretty frontpiece. This bit of
intelligence rolled Hascall, who got up and
moved that he be appointed a committee Of
one todraw a charcoal picture of the city hall.
His joke fell fiat, and he felt fatter when
Councilman Alexander suggested that Has
call draw the one he has been trying to
build on jefferson square Order being
restored, Cadets kick was pigeon-holed and
the city clerk was directed to go ahead and
advertise for bids for printing the ordinances:
The next tilt came up over the adopting OF
the report of the committee, who have had
the ordinance regulating signs and advertis-
Ing uGNlCeS uuueT COuSluSTdllOn, dnu
some discussion the report was adopted and
the ordinance again resumed its Numbers
until the council got around to give it life
and force by q third reading.
When the committee on paving, curbing and
guttering reported in favor of allowing
James Stephenson four feet of the sidewalk
at the corner of Tenth and Harvey street to
| insure him room to get his horses and buggies
in and out of his barn, Councilman Ford, who
had Just come in from South Omaha, raised a
terrible hub-bub. After considerable talk
the recommendation of the committee was
voted down.
The following sensation was, when Council
man Ford arose and asked permission TO IN
troduce the appended resolution:
Resolved, That the chief of police investi-
| gate by what authority the so-called Pinker-
ton detective force is abusing and arresting
| old time citizens of our city.
Mr.. Ford followed up his resolution by
saying that the Pinkertons were insulting by
word and injuring with clubs old time citi-
zens, and he thought it was time they were
sat down upon.
The other councilmen followed in the same
I strain, Councilman Hascall saying that he
had it from good authority that the board OF
fire and police commissioners in executive
session had authorized the police Judge TO
swear in the Pinkertons.
Ford's resolution finally passed with an
amendment by Councilman Lowry that the
chief and police and fire commissioners re-
port at the next meeting of the council"
