Work Provided for II Number of the I'm
employed on the Unpaved Streets.
TIL earmy of unemployed showed up yester-
ay morning at Twenty-fourth and Blonde
streets 500 strong. Chairman Wlnspear of
the Board of Public Works, who is perform
ing the duties of street commissioner during
the absence of Major BalcomDe. had set the
hour for I O'Clock and he was there in per-
son. directing the envy loyment of as many
men and teams as could be organized into
forces during the day. Long before the hour
set crowds of the the unemployed were
there, waiting for the time to arrive.
Employment was found for 1873 of the men
and forty-siX of the teams, leaving a large
number who were compelled to go without
employment. Ttis number was about all
that could be organized into working forces
in one day. Yesterday eighteen men and
six teams were put on. Monday morning
another large force will be added. 1t Is the
intention to provide employment as rapidly
as the forces can be organized, and keep on
increasing until the men are all employed.
The force as increased yesterday is not as
large as it was during the time of the spring
rains, when Mr.. Winspear was commits
sioner. Consequently it can be largely in
creased. The forces have been distributed
over the city and the uupaved streets are
being put in condition.

Jacksonians Decline to Take Any Part in
supporting Judge Holcomb.
The Jacksonian club met last evening to
listen to the report of the committee that
was appointed at tho last meeting to confer
with a like committee from the Samosets
relative to the advisability of fusion with
the independents IN supporting Judge Hol-
comb, the populist nominee for the supreme
bench. The report was against fusion, the
only momber who was red-hot in favor of
this political mesallIance being p. w. Birk-
hauser, who is trying to curry favor with the
populists, and who hopes to prevail upon
them through the medium of his former
partner, +. l.. B1umer, to support him for
the office of city comptroller.
TIL report was n verbal one. each men,
Der OF the committee voiclng his views, and
this was followed by a short discussion,
which resulted in the unanimous adoption of
the report of the committee and the subse-
quent discharge of its members, which
practically settles the fusion question so far
as the Jacksonian club is concerned. The
matter would never have been brought up
but for some letters which were received
from members out in the country asking
what was the sentiment of the
club on this point. The club
was overwhelmingly opposed to the sug-
gestion, and even the few members who ia
vored II saw that they were hopelessly in
the minority and voted with the crowd
against 1t.
A resolution was adopted setting forth the
fact that the democracy OF Douglas county
had been without a party organ or a news
paper that fifty represented democratic
IDEAS, and declaring that inasmuch as the
new Weekly Journal was now the nearest
approach to it and promised to fill a long-felt
want and several other apertures, it was
thereby endorsed as the official organ of
local democracy.
The club will meet again next Saturday
evening at the usual place.

TOM MURRAY's INJUNCTION.

That The arguments in the case of Million
ARE Tom Murray against the city were being
heard. 1t was an injunction in which Muir
ray asked that the city DO restrained from
continuing the work of constructing the
sewer in Tenth street from CASTELAR, TO
Valley.
Ordinarily one of these injunction suits
attracts put little attention, but this one re-
suited in the court room being filled to sufro-
catlon with laooring men, the men who had
oeen thrown out of employment by the issu-
ance OF the temporary restraining order.
which was granted last Monday. There
were nfty-two OF these men present and
they figured that Murray had been the cause
OF their losing the sum of s273. which other
wise they would have had for use in buying
bread for their wives and children.
Murray's claim was that by the construc.
ton of the sewer the flow was thrown upon
his land, situated south of Valley street, and
polluted a well that was forty rods distant.
In giving his testimony the point was
brought out by MIR. Connell, the city attor-
ney, that the outlet of the sewer was 300
feet beyond the limits of Murray's land, and
that The real object that he had in fighting
the construction of the sewer was because
he did not want to pay the tax that would be
incurred.
The testimony was watched very closely
by the spectators, all of whom were men
waiting to go back upon tine work if the
court dissolved the order. When they heal I'd
Murray's objection there was a low mutter-
ing which BODIED no good to the millionaire,
and some threats of violence were made
against the man who had taken the bread
from The mouths OF the mothers and little
ones.
In giving his testimony Murray attempted
to show that by the construction of the
sewer the flow of water would be increased
and that it would result in the flooding of a
tract of land that he owned at n point below
The mouth of the sewer and near the river.
When Engineer Rosewater went upon the
witness stand the theory was shown to be
false, as he convinced the court that
the increased flow of water would be
scarcely more than at the present
time. Not only this, but it would concen
trate the storm water ana carry 1t away,
thus preventing the washing of the grades
through Murray's land. The nuisance theory
was shown to be false for tho reason that
when the sewer was constructed all of the
offal would be carried through the pipes in
stead of being emptied into an open ditch, as
at the present time.

ter OF the dead man. The children recOg-
nized their father at once, though the body

never worked and mother had TO Lake in
washing TO buy us bread. We were on our
way TO deliver a basket of clothes wher we
saw the crowd and came up here. Last
Wednesday morning father came To the
house and had some words with mother. He

all point to an overwhelming sentiment in

The contest over the shrievalty has been
unusually warm, with H. M Hallowell and ex-

delegation from this city will be badly
mixed, but Hallowell has a safe majority.
