TOO MANY WOMEN FOR HALL
international Council Compelled to
Move to Larger Quarters
Opening Exercises.

LONDON, June 26.-The international
Council OF Women opened today in the
convocation hall Of the Church house, in
stead OF the large hall Of Westminster town
hall, which was found 10 be too small to ac-
commodate the delegates. The countess OF
Aberdeen, president OF the council, after her
address and cordial words of welcome, sched-
uled the duties of the council She said in
ternational arbitration should ever be
placed foremost in its program, advocated
the establishment OF an international bureau
of information regarding all that affects
women, and warned women against arrogat-
ing to themselves alone the duties OF cur
ing all evils saying:
1T may be we'll to have unions OF moth.
ers, but do the fathers count so little in the
home that their counsel is not needed? The
redemption OF the race can only be COM
passed by men and women joining hands
and making common cause in every depart
ment of life"
In conclusion the countess of Aberdeen
deprecated the idea usually formed about
women's congresses, that they were bent
upon devising plans whereby women might
be emancipated from home duties, saying:
This congress holds fast to the belief that
woman's first mission must be her home"

]. H. Schmidt filed original notice Of suit
against A. D. Annis and ]. w. Squire in the
district court yesterday. He asks for 50, 500
damages for the alleged wrongful and fraud
ulent conversion by the defendants of GER
tain notes and mortgages, being the prop
erty Of John w. Paul, and by him assigned
to the plaintiff. The suit arises out of
Pauls real estate transactions in this city
i'm connection with the Union Land Improve
ment company. 1t seems that in 1895 Paul
put up the notes and mortgages in question
with ]. w. Squire as collateral for loan
of $4,000. Later Squire, 1t is alleged. at
tached other property belonging to Paul and
sofd it to satisfy the judgment secured for
the non-payment of the 81, 800 Paul then,
the judgment for the $4,000 having been sat
isfed, demanded that his collateral, which
he had assigned to j. II. Schmidt, be re-
turned him. This, 1t Is alleged, the de-
PENDANTS failed to do and the assignee now
brings suit for damages. The notes and
mortgages represent about $500.

members of the force that the Northwestern
train WAS to be held up and engaged to go
with them to capture the train robbers. He
also told story about having made similar

BERNHARDI AND THE BARRIERS.
Interesting Case Arising from n
PuritanicaI sunday Inv.

Interesting Case Arising from n
PuritanicaI Sunday Law.
The hearing of Fritz Bernhard and his
two tonsorial assistants, charged with vio-
lating the Sabbath law, has been set for this
afternoon in Justice Terriers court. Mr..
Bernhard will insist upon his right to keep
open on Sunday, and in this he will be sup
ported by the management of the Grand
hotel. AS regards the report that he had
intimated that he might possibly retaliate by
having the Sunday law generally enforced in
the city, Mr. Bernhard says that he has
enough to do to fight his own battles with
out interfering with anyone else.
The information filed against Bernhard
and his assistants by the attorney for the
BARRIERS Protective association is drawn up
under section 5040 of the Code of Iowa,
which is as follows:
Breach OF Sabbath-If any person be
found on the first day Of the week, COM
monty called Sunday, engaged in carrying
firearms, dancing, hunting, shooting, horse
racing, or in any manner disturbing wor-
shipping assembly or private family, or in
buying or selling property of any kind, or
in any labor except that of necessity or
charity, he shall be fined not more than s5
nor less than 81, and be imprisoned in the
county Jail until the fine with costs of
prosecution shall be paid, but nothing herein
contained shall be construed to extend to
those who conscientiously observe the sew
enth day Of the week as the Sabbath, or to
prevent persons from travelling or families
emigrating from pursuing their journey, or
keepers of toll bridges, toll gates, and
ferrymen from attending the same"
The deputy clerk of the district court, who
recently returned from visit to Burling-
ton, says that in that city the BARRIERS tried
to enforce the Sunday law as far as their
trade was concerned. BARRIERS who refused
to close and were arrested retaliated by
having the saloon men arrested and the lat
ter in order to get even have brought dam
age suits against the clergymen Of the city,
alleging that they are responsible for the
agitation which is damaging their business.

FORTY THOUSAND TO STRIKE
Conference of the Tinplate Workers
and Employers Comes to
Naught.

PITTSBURG, June 26.-The conference OF
the committee of the American Tin Plate
company AMI workers closed at Chicago on
Saturday evening without reaching an agree
ment and a strike of 10000 workers will be
inaugurated next Saturday.
The conference, which opened in Chicago
on Tuesday morning closed Saturday even
ing at o'clock without arriving at an agree
ment. The workers wage committee, acting
under instructions received from the annual
convention held in Detroit last month, made
demand for an advance of 20 per cent.
The present wage scale expired on June 80
and members Of the Amalgamated associa-
tion are not permitted to work after that
date unless the new scale is signed.
About $4,000 skilled workers are members
Of the association, and as many more are
dependent upon them and will be idle while
the skilled men are unemployed. Nearly
rs per cent of the tinplate workers Of the
country are employed in western Pennsyl-
vanis mills. The scale for the tin
house men, or unskiled labor. was
arranged for several weeks ago and provides
for big advance to some of the workers
and averages nearly 20 per cent.
All the tin plate mills in the country are
union mills with but four exceptions. Some
OF them may continue in operation, but 1t is
not likely that they will. Secretary Will
Inns of the Amalgamated association stated
today that all negotiations are off for the
present and that the matter will have to be
referred back to the subordinate lodges
M. Williams said that the manufacturers
offered them an advance, but it was not as
much as they wanted, and, as the committee
had 10 authority to do anything except what
the convention decided on In Detroit just
month ago, the conference was brought to
an end. 1t would be impossible, he said, to
refer the matter back to the subordinate
lodges this week, much less arrange for
anothar nonfarapra

tion with this he said he had obtained
waivers from all but six property owners
on four of the streets ordered to be i'm
proved and now that there was chance
OF the paving being carried out he did not
want 1t stopped by the passage of a new
ordinance. In explanation OF the delay in
securing the waivers from property owners
he mentioned that one petition had been
sent to California, Denver and Boston to
secure needed signatures. In answer to
Alderman Caspers question, City Solicitor
Wadsworth said 1t was very doubtful II
the new ordinance was adopted that the
contractor could be forced to carry out the
paving let under the old one. On motion
of Alderman Casper the ordinance went
over under the rules
The city solicitor was instructed to ap
peal from the decision Of Judge Aylesworth
in the suit brought by the city in the SUI
perior court against the motor company in
which the court held that the motor COM
pany was not liable for the cost OF paving
between tracks and one foot outside in
front OF street intersections. The amount
claimed by the city against the motor COM
pany on this count with interest is in the
neghborhood OF $40 000 The courts ruling
against the city, Mr.. Wadsworth explained,
on this point was due to defect in the
city ordinance, which provided that the
motor company should pay the abutting
property owners the cost of the paving be-
tween it's tracks and one foot outside. but
failed to provide that 1t should pay the city
for the paving opposite street intersections.
Judge Aylesworth held that the city did not
own property abutting on the intersections
and therefore did not come under the head
of abuttng property owners.
The sidewalk ordinance was laid over
for week, as several of the aldermen
wanted a number of changes in 1t made.
On motion of Alderman Metcalf the walk
ordered laid on the south side of Fifth
avenue from Bluff street to Glen avenue
was stricken out, and in compliance with
protest from the interested property
owners, the walk ordered laid on the west
side of Twelfth street, between Fifth and
Eighth avenues, was likewise cut out from
the ordinance.
The resolution introduced at the last
meeting as to the Union Pacific railway
company and Union avenue was laid over
for a week Chairman Christensen of the
committee on police and health was au-
thoriEed to purchase a new buggy for the
marshal's department or get the old one re-
paired.

quite n Batch of Business Transacted
by the Municipal Fathers.
Following the session of the city coun-
Gil last night the aldermen met as a board
of review and adopted resolution authoriz-
Ing and instructing the city solicitor to ap-
peal from the action OF the Board of Super
vsors of Pottawattamie county in raising
the assessment as established by the city
assessor and the board OF review for the
year 1890
The adoption OF the resolution was unani-
nous and without discussion. Several at
torneys, representing property owners, were
seated in the lobby prepared to address the
board In support of the resolution, but the
action of the aldermen was so unanimous
that their services were not needed. After
the resolution was adopted Attorney Flick
niger said he believed he was correct in
stating that every lawyer in the city was
OF the opinion that the Board Of Supervisors
had exceeded its authority in ordering the
assessed valuation of real estate In the city
as returned by City Assessor Hardin raised
20 per cent and that its action in the prem
ises was entirely illegal. The city council
as the local board of review, he said. had
done right In instructng the city solicitor
to appeal from the supervisors action as II
alone, according to the law, had the right
to do so. The individual property owners
remedy would be by Injunction suit or GER
tiorari action. The appeal of the city board
would determine the matter collectively,
whereas II such appeal were not taken every
single property owner aggrieved by the ac-
tion OF the county board would be compelled
to bring separate suit.
The principal matter brought before the
meeting of the city council was the new
general improvement ordinance submitted
hv thn off III
been made necessary by the recent decision
or the supreme court, in which 1t was held
that abutting property could not be assessed
for any improvement such as paving grad
ing or sewering in excess Of the benefits
accruing to the property by such improve
ment. The new ordinance submitted last
night, while in most respects the same as
the old one, provides that the city council
when making the levy for street improve
ments, shall determine what portion is TO
be paid by abutting property owners, rail-
ways and street railways and what portion
shall be paid out Of the city street improve
ment fund as provided by law. 1t fur
ther provides that the amount assessed for
any Improvement shall be in proportion
10 the lineal front feet OF abutting property.
but that in no case shall the amount as
sessed against any lot exceed the benefits
accruing to said lot on account of such i'm
provements. 1t also provides that after the
plat and schedule are on file for inspection
in the office Of the city engineer interested
property owners shall have twenty days
within which to object in writing to the
amount assessed against them.
Alderman Casper suggested that the ord
nance lay over under the rules, as he
wished TO know what effect the passage of
the measure would have upon the paving
contracts let last year and which he is
now trying TO get carried out. In connee-
