THE CITY
1t Deals With Several Matters Of
UnSr;nr V,tnrt

Passing interest.
The city council met last night and at once
| went into committee with Councilman Bailey
in the chair. There were eleven members
present, the abs entees being Bedford, Boyd,
Chaffee, Hascall. kaspar, Shrlver and Van
Camp. Councilman Ford questioned the
legality Of a call from tho mayor for a COM
mittee of the whole in a special
session, and Councilman Snyder sup
ported the objection. They both thought
il could only be called by motion at a regular
meeting of the council. The objection, now
ever, was not sustained, and the committee
discussed an ordinance dividing the city Into
ten wards instead of nine, as at present
On motion of Councilman Wheeler it was
not adopted.
An ordinance prepared by Councilman
Hascall, calling for the repeal of section Il
of ordinance 4S3, which refers to the closing
of saloons at midnight and on Sundays, was
voted down.
Another ordinance, giving the Union Pa
cific permission to lay tracks through an
alley between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets, in order to reach block 1856. was also
killed.
Two ordinances, one for the narrowing
of a part of Eleventhstreet. between Mason
and Hickory, and another for the narrowing
OF Pierce street, between Fifteenth and Six
teenth, together with the provision for the
disposal of the ground so to be vacated to the
adjoining property owners, were laid over.
An ordinance for the control of street
lions of the city was not APP
proved, and another, nicely w0rded but
preventing any one except an employe of a
railway company from crossing railway
tracks except at street crossings, was thrown
out, as it was evidently a relic Of the days
when the Pinkertons were in bloom. The
principal debate was over the ordinance gov
erning hack owners and hack drivers.
The ordinance as approved calls for lower
rates than al present, with the one and two
horse vehicles, to charge the same fare, and
be charged the same $40 license, and the linn
its to be left practically unchanged. The
committee, however,, recommended that all
wagons carrying show carQs or adver-
tisements be made to pay the same license.
An ordinance regulating auctioneers was
passed without comment, but one providing
for certain regulations i'll connection with eX-
pressmen caused a lively debate. 1t was
stated they are already overwhelmed with
rules and regulations, and yet they pay their
license for a chance to make a living. 1t
was finally recommended they should have
regular stands, selected by the police com
missioners, subjected to supervision by the
mayor and city council.
Then the Alexander wine room ordinance
was taken up, and il met with "a vigorous op.
position. 1t was finally decided by a uuani-
nous vote that the present police rules were
sufficient to cover all necessary points, and
this relic of the old council was consigned to
the waste basket.
An ordinance defining the duties of the
sewer inspector was referred to the commit
tee on sewers and the city engineers. and
then the committee rose to report at the
council meeting Tuesday night.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan, 46-TSpecial to THE
BEE. The senate did "A little routine bust
ness this morning., and after an hours SEES
sion adjourned until 1 o'clock Monday after
noon to give the committees a chance. Two
of the three bills introduced were for the
benefit of Omaha.
Senator Jams bill for a police relief fund
authorizes the fire and police commissioners
of metropolitan cities to create such a
fund by assessing to each policeman's
monthly pay a sum not exceeding
l per cent. The money is to
be paid into the city treasurer
and credited to the "POlice Relief
Fund" 1t is to be used exclusively for the
relief of policemen when sick or dicaDled,
for their funeral expenses, for the relief of
their families after their death or for pen
sions when they are honorably retired from
service. To this assessment are to be added
all fines imposed on policemen for dereliction
of duty, one-fourth of the rewards paid To
policemen, and all the proceeds from the sale
of unclaimed property and money coming
into the possession of the police
department after deducting expenses
incident thereto. 'The commissioners are
made trustees of the fund and directed to
carefully invest it.
The members of the police force will make
rules for the disbursement of the fund, sub
ject to the approval of the trustees. The
policeman will hold an annual meeting on
the Wednesday after the first day of April
to elect a board of seven directors
from among themselves. Thu board
will elect a president and secre-
tary. The board will issue orders on the
fund, which must be countersigned by their
officers and by the commissioners Police
men who resign or are dismissed will have
no further claim on the fund. Officers hon
orably retired may have only sucn interes
in the fund as the directors may establish by |
rule.
A clause permits the police commissioners
to continue the salary of a policeman for
three months if disabled while on
duty. If his disability then APP
pear to be permanent they may, on
the recommendation of the mayor, allow him
n monthly pension of $40. The commIs-
sioners are also allowed, on recommendation
of the mayor, to allow IL monthly pension of
$40 to any retired officer over fifty years old
who shall have served fifteen years from and
after the passage of this act.
Senator Ijams' other bill authorizes the
chief Of police to sell personal property that
may come into his custody in the line of
uuty, when it has been in his possession, I'M
claimed, for a period Of six months. He
must advertise for thirty days preceding the
sale.

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES.
Active Advancement OF Industries Re-
cent Heavy Investments.


Reports TO the Manufacturer Record
show that the past week has been a very
active one in the advancement OF the in
dustrial interests OF the South. The refer
ence made last week in this column 10 the
heavy investments that Northern and for
eign capitalists are preparing to make in
the South is illustrated by the course Of
events since then. An English company
with capital of $4,000, 900 now has an
agent in this country buying Southern
timber lands. A special report to the
Manufacturer Record states that he has al
ready secured 500,0OO,OO0 feet of standing
timber, and 10 in the market for 100000
acres OF Southern timber land. English
capitalists interested in building a new
town in kentucky will invest several mill
ion dollars in manufactures, and it is re-
ported that they have closed contract for
four l25-ton furnaces. There are also
rumors of number OF other furnaces
to be started in the South. An unusually
large number OF Northern capitalists, in
! Guiding many from New England, who
have heretofore invested but little in the
South, are now in this section with view
to extensive investments. Duringthe week
a number of important enterprises have
been reported, and many small ones. A
company has been formed to develop a
new industrial town near Louisville; ex-
| tensve investigations, which have been IN
| progress in Kentucky, have resulted in
! important discoveries, and Pennsylvania
men have secured 1856, 600 acres OF land
for oil development; some OF the members
of the lutte bagging trust have incorpor-
atcd 81 ,000,0 600 bagging manufacturing
company in West Virginia; at Columbia,

IL is reported, secure 100000 paper mill;
a company has been organized at Cleye-
land, Tenn, for very extensive iron ore

which has been reorgnnzcd. OF canning
factories. electric light works, oilmills, saw
and planing-mills and kindred enterprises,
a large number were reported during the
week. Everything indicates that the
coming spring will witness even greater
activity than IL now seen, and reports TO
the Manufacturer Record show that many
very important enterprises will be organ
lied shortly.
