BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS MEETS
Railroads Must Pay Their Share in
Repairing Viaducts.

Railroads Must Pay Their Share in
Repairing Viaducts.
The Board of Public Works met yester-
day and acted on several important matters.
The chairman was directed to serve a copy
OF the ordinance recently passed by the city
council, approving the plans for the repair
OF the Eleventh street vaduct and ordering
the railroads to make the repairs, on all the
roads that own or occupy tracks under the
Viaduct. IL the railroads now neglect to
make the repairs, after reasonable time, the
board will have the work done and assess
the cost against the railroads.
The Capitol avenue sewer was discussed
and the chairman was directed to advertise
for bids for the construction of the sewer
as soon as the city engineer has completed
the plans and prohes.
p H. Mahoney petitioned the board to
order South Fourteenth street under the
vaduct closed. He represented that he was
about to put large force of men and teams
at work constructing the piers for the new
vladuct, and that it would be necessary to
temporarily shut off travel on the street.
The necessary order was promulgated.
The matter Of the new permanent side
walks on Park avenue was laid over to give
the chairman time in which to decide on the
material. The order to the contractor to go
ahead with the work will be given in a few
days. Brick viii probably be used for most
of the walks.
The plans for the water connections on
South Sixteenth street were approved and
the chairman was instructed to serve copy
on the water company.

SETTLES HER SUIT FOR DAMAGES
Mrs. BiEeIOw Compromises with the
Union Pncific COmpnny.

Mrs. BireIOw Compromises with the
Union Pacific Company.
The receivers of the Union Pacific yester-
day settled a suit brought against the
company for $4,000 in the district court of
this county for the sum of $500. The suit
was brought by Margaret A. Bigelow, ad-
ministratrix of the estate of Paul L. Bigelow,
her late husband.
Bigelow was killed on March &c, 1896, at
the station of Chapman, Merrick county, on
the line OF the Union Pacific. He was en-
ployed as brakeman and was standing on
top Of the car Of freight train at a siding
there. He was there against the rules of the
railroad company and when the train started
up suddenly he was thrown off and instantly
killed.
Suit was at once begun for the recovery
Of $1,000 damages. AS it became evident
when an inquiry was made into the facts Of
the case that he was killed through his own
negligence, the attorneys Of the railroad COM
pany had no great difficulty in reaching a
compromise in the case. All the necessary
papers dismissing the suit and accepting
$500 as the full amount of damages were
filed in the district court yesterday.

The county attorney is in quandary as to
what to do with Harry G. Chaffee Chaffee

charge Of forgery. He waived examination

Since he has been in the county jail the
county attorney has had Chaffee examined
by the insanity commission and that body

from the superintendent to the effect that
the institution was filled with inmates. The
superintendent added that "Chaffee Is a
chronic insane man and in case any
vacancies occur preference will be given to
acute cases" Since receiving this letter the
county attorney has consulted with the court

what disposition shall be made of the case.

denies that the street gang is being used
