Subway Triumvfrate.

The subway company's headquarters pre-
sented quite lively scene yesterday, and
three or four parties chiefly interested in the
Doodle controversy, were extremely mrthful
over their expressed ability to prove great
many things which would place certain par
ties in a very uncomfortable position.
ID. Fl. Dorsett, head and front OF the un-
der ground scheme had come on In respone
to a telegram from Ernest Rial, and was one
of the mirth provokers. MIR. Dorsett may
be classed as rapid-transit man. Last
Monday, in Chicago, he wrote letter pub
lished in Wednesdays BEE. He is kno wn to
have been at ST. Louis the same day; Rails
telegram reached him in ST. Paul, and now
he is walking the streets OF Omaha.
Notwithstanding their confidential and
rather humorous attitude, very little infor-
nation could be obtained as to what Is to be
shown at the investigation. Dorsett said he
had no idea what the trouble was about un-
til after his arrival here.
"We propose to bring out great many
surprising things" remarked A. M.
to observe That councilman Lowry has
made his charges now let him prove them.
take notice, however, that he says nothing
about carrying letter Of introduction from
the Western Union people when he went to
Chicago, which requested certain parties
there TO treat him well; neither does he
mention special frauking privilege extend
ed 70 him for use of the Western Union
wires, nor the forty Or hfty kilograms that
were sent free of charge while nc was 10
Chicago. However, all these things will
come out at the investigation"
MIR. Dorsett said that he met Lowry on his
first visit to Omaha and had assurances from
him then, as well also as ON his recent visit TO
Chicago, where he went around with his
hand behind his back, that he was friendly
to and would support the subway scheme.
1T struck me as being PECULIAR" he con-
tinued, when saw him there, and when
we walked and talked together, that instead
of inauiring into the merits OF the system, he
endeavored to learn all about the enterprise,
whether 1t was a paying institution, ana
what the return was upon the Investment,
and all that kind Of talk
Mike Lee dropped in TO announce that he
had been dubbed the ''E,arl of Dorset"
Subsequently, the reporter met MIR. j. j.
Dickey aud Mr. Shillinglaw, both Of whom
asserted positively that they Were ready and
anxious to face the music. "What | stated
in my letter." continued the latter gentle-
man, sis the truth and am here 70 prove It.

Chaffee and ShiIlinslaw.

There has been great deal said of the
late councilmanic visit to Chicago to inspect
the Dorsett subway, nevertheless a great
deal more could be told If the tourists aud
those with them could be induced to become
communicative. ssEs<. -
Ex-councilman Kitchen opened up little
chapter concerning Mr.. Chaffee. He re-
ferred to the statement of Councilman Davis
in Wednesday nights BEE that Dorsett COM
pany refused to show them anything else in the
subway line except its own system, and on
the second day of the visit had left the COM
mittee to look out for themselves. The fact,
he claims is that the company

Of the value of the system on the day Of
their arrival That night the committee
met and appointed subcommittee of five to
make an investigation without the assistance
or presence of any of the subway people,
Mr.. Kitchen, as representing the latter, was
so notified of the resolution and told the
members that they were, of course, at liber-
ty to do just as they felt disposed in the mat
ter. -
Next morning the committee started out
in its tour but was accompanied by Schilling-
law. The latter took them to every company
opposed to the Dorsett system.
When the committee returned at
noon to the hotel, City Engineer Tillson,
who had been with it in the morning, said he
would not go out with it in the afternoon if
Shillinglaw was allowed to accompany it.
This rather incensed Chaffee who protest
ed that the party objected to should be al
lowed to go along.
Tillson claimed that Schillinglaw had no
right to accompany them because he was evi.
IDENTIFY opposed to the Dorsett system as also
because the representatives of the latter
had been told that their presence was not
needed. The committee, he thought, were
themselves.
This view was sustained by the other
members Of the committee, with the excep-
tion OF Chaffee. Accordingly, when the trip
was made in the afternoon, Shilliuglaw re-
NAMED and so did Chaffee.

REALITY VS.. ART.
A Laughable Addition to the Mer-

A Laughable Addition to the Mer-
rimac and Monitor Fight. ~
The other day one of the employees Of
the Merrimac and Monitor naval battle
was presented with two. beautiful game
chickens, which he turned loose upon
the foreground, and whose presence
amid the painted surroundings greatly
added to the realism of the scene. "A
lady called to stake in' the show the
same afternoon. bringing with her a
small and exceedingly lively terrier.
She was, of course, greatly. interested
in the stirring scene. but the dog, rig!as
noring art had fixed his eyes upon
nature, and before his frightened mis-
tress could prevent it had sprung
over the railing and was in I, hot:
pursuit of one. of the chickens. IA :.
The terrified fowl. spreading out, its.
wings, started on lively run down the
Virginia coast with the dog in close
pursuit. Past Fortress Monroe and
across Chesapeake bay went the pur-,
sued and pursuer. The mouth of the
Elizabeth river was passed like flash,
and the sand and gravel on the natural
foreground flew about in little clouds.
The fearful conflicts between the
painted war ships was forgotten by all
the spectators in the excitement of this
real engagement. Never was the sub
lime more thoroughly swallowed up by
the ridiculous. The bodies of the dead
soldiers which lie on the beach were no
barriers to the dog, which continued the
chase, until an attendant, who looked
like a giant amid the mimic surround
ings, rushed out upon the battlefield
and succeed in capturing the little dog.

Oakland Cemetery to Be Beauti-

The trustees of the Oakland Cemetery
association met at their rooms in the
Chamber of Commerce building yester-
day afternoon. Aside from the routine
business of allowing claims, ETC., the
trustees exhaustively discussed plans
and propositions for future improve
ments of the grounds. The old wooden
fence, which has been an eyes0re for
several years, is about to be replaced by
an iron grated fence about six feet high,
The fence has been made, is here and
now being erected. The matter Of
building a new greenhouse was agitated
and before the meeting adjourned it was
just about decided to erect greenhouse
sufficiently cOmmOdious to accommodate
the great demand that is being brought to
bear upon the small capacity of the old
house. Schemes for improvements and
alterations in various parts of the MON
umental plat were projected and con-
sidered. The cemetery will be gener-
ally embellished by the carrying out of
the proposed work, and the undertaking
business should be greatly enhanced by
these new attractions to the city Of the
dead.

great as the broom and pan Drl-

THE TRANSFER TAXES.
An Action to Enjoin the Sale of
the Property by the Auditor.

The Minnesota Transfer Railway COM
pany has filed suit against NJ. F. Kahn,
as auditor of Ramsey county, petition
ing the court to restain him from selling
at public sale the property known as the
Minnesota Transfer" for the taxes
county and state-for the year 1887.
The taxes aggregate s2,5S9. 12,and it was
for this amount, plus the costs and
penalty, that the auditor secured judy
ment in the district court against the
Transfer property. Now come the judg-
ment debtors, and to avoid sale of their
property for the taxes due, sue to enjoin
the county from selling the same upon
the following grounds: The transfer
company claims that the judgments so
obtained are wholly illegal and void,
and that the property assessed is eX-
empt from all taxation, in that the
company has paid for the year 1857, and
each year since, the percentage of its
gross earnings required by sections
and 2, chapter Ill of Special Laws of
1878, etc. The company prays that said
pretended judgments be adjudged null
and void, and that the same and the
whole thereof be set aside and Cancelled !;
that the defendant. the county auditor
Of said county, be forever restrained
from selling said lands until the further
order of the court. Judge Kerr granted
the injunction until the trial Of the case

HIGH AND Low BRIDGES.
Their Relative Values Discussed
by a WeSt-Sider,

Dy q w eSC-Sluer.
c. B. Lawton waxed eloquent last
evening when asked his opinion as to
the relative merits of low and high
bridges, as applied to the proposed
State street-Broadway structure. my
opinion" said Mr.. Lawton, ''is that the
construction of a high bridge at the
point indicated would be an altogether
wrong idea. We want bridge there;
now the question arises, what benefit is
expected to accrue to West Side prop
erty holders by its erection. The an
swer, in my mind, is that with a low
bridge at that point the whole
salers of the city will avail
themselves of the cheap property on
the flats for putting in warehouses
and the like, and if the bridge is low
heavy roads can be transferred from
these to the city and the reverse, with
as great ease as though it were paved
street. If the bridge is high one with
a steep grade, the flats will be rendered
inaccessible to the very class of build
ers we want to encourage. There can
be no doubt as to the truth of this rea
soping, and any one Of ordinary intelli-
gence can see the truth of it. I think
there is no doubt that as soon as the
building of low bridge is settled on
there will be an active demand for
property on the flats, and some big
buildings will 90 ND there"
