Lyman Van Nostraud, through his next of
kin. has begun u $4,000 damage suit in the
district court against Landlord Frank J.
Coates OF the Mercer hotel on account OF a
charge OF vaErancy which was made against
him last February. Van Nostrand was EN-
ployed as an elevator boy in the hotel and
was taken Ill with scarlet fever He al
leges that he was given a room, for which
payment was required in advance, and that
he thus became guest Of the hotel. His
story is that as soon as the nature Of his
disease was known the proprietor had him
arrested and taken to the police station on
a charge Of vagraucy in order to get rid OF
his presence in the hotel.
John H. Westerfeld declares that he was
permanently injured by an accident on the
Union Pacific between Albion and South
Omaha last winter and that it will require
$4,000 Of the earnings of the railroad tc
compensate him for his sufferings. He al
leges that the train was ditched because the
employees Of the company did not properly
attach the rails to the ties.

In sustaining a melton for a new trial
in the damage su.t o. John Lind against
the Omaha Street Railway company the
court took occasion to give the jury a vigor-
Gus turning over. 4 verdict Of 81 was given
the plaintiff and the court declared that
this was a monstrous trayesty OF justice.
II a verdict had been returned for the cor
porati5n. or IL The plaintiff had been awarded
a sum that was a substantial recompense
for his injuries it would not have been dis
turbed but in this case the jury had de-
ciIed that the injuries we're received as as
serted by Lind. but had refused 10 give him
a substantial verdict. He declared that the
jury had acted on the proposition that il a
verdict was returned for the defendant the
county must pay the costs, and that they
as taxpayers would have to pay It. Couse-
quently they had given the plaintin a juls-
ment Of 81 In order to throw the costs on
the street railway company. This idea was
condemned in vigorous terms, and the court
declared that he would see that the case
was tried before a jury that would render
verdict according 20 the law and not
with reference to their interests as tax
payers.

STRANGE DEATH OF FAMILY Y
Surviving Members Behave Queerly
and Are Locked Up Pend
ing Investigation.

ST. LOUIS. April S.-John Sullivan and
his daughter, Mrs. Minnie Dunn, who lived
az 1913 Biddle street, are dead and their de-
mise is surrounded with mystery.
Yesterday William sullivan, a son of the
dead man, visited the residence on Bddie
street and discovered his father and sister
dead and his mother and Christy Dunn, a
nephew seriously i'll. Instead of notifying
the proper authorities William locked the
dead ones in and took his mother and sister
to his home. Today when they had recov-
cred from the effects of their illness the
family returned to the Biddle street resi-
dence and then called in the police.
The bodies were removed to the morgue
and william, with a brother named Edward,
and the ether surviving members OF the
family, were placed under arrest. 1t Is the
theory OF the police that the deaths and
sickness were caused by poison taken in
their food Whether there was anything
criminal in connection with it they are un-
able to say.
The Sullivan family, with the exception
of William who was married, occupied two
rooms in a tenement in the rear OF 1918
Bddle street. They moved in Thursday
night Anthony Fitzpatrick, who occupied
an adjoining room, was placed under ar
rest, with Mrs. McQGade, neighbor woman
All members OF the family are positive
they ate nothing but fried eggs and bread
and butter for supper Thursday night. They
also had tea. That was the last meal they
ate Friday afternoon Mrs. Sullivan, who
is so years old, was aroused from the un-
consciousness that oyercame the family
after Thursday nights meal. She was
suffering with terrible pains, as were also
the other members of the family, whom she
found lying near the bodies OF the dead
father and daughter. The son. William, was
then sent for. It is believed there will

FINISHING TERMS BUSINESS
Motion for New Trial and Granting Of Super
sedeas Bond in Noise Case Denied.
JURY ACCUSED OF TRAvESTY ON JUSTICE
Bondsmen Are Not Responsible for
what Occurs After saloon Keepers
Death-Dec MnndnmuS Case
Now Being Heard.

Although all jurymen have been dis
missed except those who are engaged on uu-
finished cases the February term Of dis
trict court will continue in session at least
another week for the purpose Of passing
on motions. and various other routine mat
ters that remain on the doCkets. Judge
Keysor is still occupied with the Meyer re-
pleyin case, and the other judges spent the
forenoon in hearing arguments on motions.
The Noise liquor case, the Dee mandamus
and number of other important matters
came UP before Judge Scott, and Judge
Baker Is hearing arguments on an injunction
brought by number Of Burt county tax
payers to enjoin the county officers from
levying a tax amounting TO s1,5OO to pay for
the construction Of ditch which crosses
a section Of the county.
In the Noise case the court overruled the
motion for new trial and refused to grant
a supersedeas bond as requested BY
City Attorney Connell. The attorneys
for Noise insisted that a license
should be granted in order to protect
their client from prosecution by individuals
while the injunction is pending in the su-
preme court. but after an extended argu-
ment the matter was left In its present con-
dition on the assurance OF the city attorney
that Noise will not be meddled with by the
city authorities.
In refusing to grant the supersedeas bond
the court admitted that his previous deci-
sion in the injunction proceedings was con-
trary to the general understanding OF the
provisions of the Slocumb law, and that it
was antagonistic to the dictum of the SUI
preme court. He declared, however. that
the Board Of Fire and Police Commission
ers has no authority to discriminate in
granting licenses to sell liquor. The COM
missoners have the undoubted power to re-
fuse or grant licenses in Omaha, but If
discrimination was allowed it would create
a monopoly, political ana otherwise. 1t
would give the board power to grant licenses
TO its political supporters and refuse them
TO its enemies.

SYSTEMATIC STREET WORK
Cleaning to Be Done as Thoroughly as the
Funds Will Permit,
MAIN STREETS TO GET MOST ATTENTION
city is to he Divided Into Districts
and Each Gang VIII Have
Permanent Territory
Politics barred out.

with the advent Of balmier weather than
has been dispensed by Weatherman Welsh
for some months past Omaha's spring clean
ing has commenced When It is completed
the city will not be as spick and span as is
citizens desire nor will the adage tha:
Cleanliness Is next to Godliness' be strictly
observed during the rest Of the year. This
will be owing to the fact that an insufficient
amount OF money was levied by the council
TO permit cf this But Omaha's streets
and alleys will be kept as clean and as we'll
swept as the available funds will allow.
The streets will be only middlin' clean
as the old folks say" remarks Chairman
ROsewater Of the Board Of Public Works
The street sweeping fund will be econom-
ically and systematically spent and l be-
lieve that the streets will be fairly present
able"
Three gangs of men, twenty-four in all
and all necessary teams. are now engaged IN
scraping the winters filth, mud, debris and
contagion from the downtown streets. This
work. however, is but preliminary. Chair
man Rosewater and Street COMMISSIONS
Beverly are in conference regarding the cam
paign Of the coming season, and expect tha
within a week, or perhaps longer, the plar
will be completed and systematic cleaning
will be started.
In order to clean the streets as the!
should be cleaned, and as Omaha's citizens
would like them, $4,000 would be needed,
says Chairman Rosewater. The levy fo
the purpose will net but $4,000 so that /
is easily understood that some of the streets
I will have to be dirty some of the time. Thi
will mean that while the downtown streets
will be cleaned every day, other streets
q will have to be sContent with cleaning
every other day. or every third day, ant
/ even only once a week We are now con
sidering to what streets We shall administe
| these several degrees of cleanliness.
THE street cleaning will be conducted thi
year on a systematic plan that has not beef
possible in past years. We propose to dl
vide the city into cleaning districts. Thos
| in which the streets will be cleaned once
! week will be so large that the cleaning
gang will be able to make the rounds II
, exactly a week. The smallest districts viii
be in the downtown center OF the district
where the streets will be swept every day.
The purpose OF this plan is to secur
the best possible results We will assign
gang to each of these districts and 1t viii
remain there during the year. 1t will there
fore know just what work it will have t
do, and can do the best work because 1t viii
know its territory. The organization is t
be a permanent one. That IS, every man W
employ will be informed that he can hol
his job as long as he does his work an
not minute longer. Politics will be ABB
solutely barred out"

Interestipu to saloon Keepers.

In passing on the demurrer in the damage
suit of Lena Burwell against Mary Cum
mings, as Administrative of the estate OF
Thomas Cummings, the court ruled on two
important points in the law it applies to
the obligations of saloon keepers. Cum
mings was the proprietor OF a saloon on
Sherman avenue until he died in March,
1897 4 few days afterward Frank Burwell,
husband of the plaintiff in this case, shot
and killed Cassius Boyce and was arrested
and tried for murder His wife now asserts
that he committed the deed under the influ-
ence OF liquor purchased at Cummings sa-
loon and sues for $1,000 damages.
In considering the demurrer the court de-
cided that IL it could be shown that Bur
well procured liquor at the saloon and then
went out and committed a crime for which
he was imprisoned and his family deprived
of their means of support a damage suit
would certainly lie against the saloon keeper
and his bondsmen. In this case, however
1t was decided that since the facts alleged
occurred after the death of Cummings his
bondsmen could not be held liable for what
was done by those who ran the saloon after
his death. The demurrer was consequently
sustained in part and the plaintiff was given
two weeks in which to file an amended pc
tition.
