PARK COMMISSIONERS.
Important Meeting of the Board Yes
terday Afternoon.


The board Of park commissioners were in
session nearly all yesterday afternoon, adopt
ing rules in regard to regulating the pro-
ceedngs at meetings and the formation of
committees, and for arranging methods for
the transaction of future business. Mr.. Pratt
was appointed committee OF rules, to report
at the next regular meeting.
The president of the board was authorized
to sign petition for asphalt, with five years
guarantee. for paving material on the streets
ordered to be paved, on the north and west
end of Hanscom park.
The secretary was directed to write lmme-
diately to Mr.. II, w. S. Cleveland, of Mime
apols, practical engineer, who has dis
played considerable taste and ability in the
selection and arranging of parks at Mime
apolis and other cities, with view To having
him come TO Omaha as early as possible ana
look over the situation, and suggest such
plans as he deems best under the circum-
stances.
The commissioners considered this course
advisable owing to the Importance of beauti-
flying the city with the most magnificent
parks possible, and faithfully carrying out
| the trusts imposed in them.
The time for holding the regular meetings
| of the board has been changed from Satur-
| day to Friday afternoon, and, on account of
| the large amount of business to be transacted
| this month, the board will hold its meetings
| weekly instead OF semi-monthly.

should have had an iron tie-rock their whole
length, but only few have been put in, and
on account of being put in in some places
eight inches higher than shown by the plans,
they do not support the arches.

tr ouble being that no two of the delegates
seemed to want the same thing. Mr.. Hoben's
special want was the nomination of DIR.
Davis.
The convention was called to order by
Charles Connoyer. II. j. Clancy was chosen
chairman, and George Holmes, jr., secretary.
Euclid Morton, j. j. Points and w. S.
Poppleton, the three democrats nominated at
the non-partisan meeting, were nominated
by the convention by acclamation. A motion
to nominate Clark Woodman and A. r.
Dubrene, the republican members of tho
nOn-partsan ticket, was the signal for
roar.
p. Z. c. Morearity became excited in his
opposition to the motion. He declared that
the democrats were too lazy to go to the
polls. They allowed themselves to be run
by petticoat government. He favored
straight democratic ticket, and would go
down to defeat with it rather than support
republican.
A. c. Read wanted the entire non-partissn
ticket endorsed, or none of it.
w, A. l.. Gibbon tried to impress 1t upon
the minds of the delegates that 1t was the
the schools, and not the party, that they
should be Interested in. He wanted to sec
all of the non-partisan ticket endorsed. Mr..
Gibbop was supported in his opinion by
julius Meyer and A. q. Read, while Barney
McGinn and Ed Rothery eloquently cham
pioned the cause of Morearity in his fight for
straight laced democratic ticket.
The motion TO nominate Dubrene and
Woodman was finally tabled
Euclid Martin then announced to the con-
vention that he would have to decline the
nomination. He had accepted the endorse
ment, he said, of meeting of representa-
tive citizens as non-partsan, and did not
| feel that he could accept the nomination
| on ticket that did not endorse
| all of the bipartisan candidates.
| He withdrew in order to give
| the convention an opportunity to place q
| straight democratic ticket In the field.
Mr.. Martins announcement threw the
| delegation entirely Off the track, and a dozen
| or more of them offered resolutions that they
| hoped would get the meeting in. the right
| way. The confusion finally became no great
| that a recess of ten minutes was taken to
| allow the delegates to caucus Tor compro-
| mise. When the meeting was again called
| to order DR.. j. c. Davis and T.. G. Babeock
| were nominated by acclamation.
Mr. j. j. Points, one OF the delegates, at
| tempted to address the convention, but was
! shut off by the adoption of a motion to ad-
| journ. Mr.. Points then handed to the chair
| man Of the central committee his refusal to
| accept the nomination.
/ MIR. Martin, when asked as to whether he
| insisted upon the withdrawal OF his name,
| replied that he had said all he would He
thought it was bad faith III the convention
not to endorse all of the nonpartisan candi-
| dates.

Bell says that Bassinger had only $3.50,

watch and chain were left with Bell for
safe keeping by Bassinger himself, who was
very drunk, and no attempt was made b.
Bell at concealing them. Bassinger failed
TO call for his property, although Bell wore
the chain and watch on his person so as to
have IL handy for the owner whenever he
called for it. When Ormsby asked for The
property, He'll readily surrendered 1t. There
was no theft or attempt ut it, and Bell
