der yesterday in the case of Mrs. Mary
Ann PTenty administrators of Catherine
Prenty, against Fileb Wachstein and the
Oglethorpe Savings and Trust Company.
The grant of the order will delay for
week longer the trial Of the case on its
merits.
The order recites that the decision of the
court upon the various grounds of demur-
rer filed by the attorneys for the defend
ants to the declaration of the plaintiff
shall for the present operate only as a re-
quirement that Patrick and Gerald Nc
Murray shall be made parties defendant 10
the suit, and directs that service Of pro
cess on them be perfected by publication.
An order to this effect was taken and
the defendants will be served in the man
ner directed. Gerald McMurray is "a
brother of Patrick, and 1t was to him that
the property in question was first sold by
Patrick, after. as is alleged he mad OBJ
tanned the deed from Mrs. Prenty by force
and fraud. Afterwards Gerald McMurray
executed a power of attorney to Patrick
10 sell the property and It was by virtue
of this that the sale to Wachstein was
made. To permit of the publication of the
process for the requisite length of time,
a pOstponement of the case was taken UNI
til next Monday morning.

at the Harris Street Hail tonight for the
purpose of receiving the report of the

posed to raise sufficient means to rent
these places and to offer them 10 the

Gould and the Reporter.

At heart Jay Gould was tender when
innocence and timidity appeared before
him. This fact I shall proceed to illus
trate. When touring the far West,
years ago, he studiously avoided news
paper men, until one day. at Omaha,
his superintendent, Sly Smith, begged
him to give an interview to very
young and green reporter. 1T would
help him to get right up in his profess
sion, Mr.. Gould, and do him world
of good Consent being given, the
youngster entered the Wizards private
car. At sight of the great little man
his knees smote together, his tongue
cleaved to the roof of his mouth, his
brain seemed para1yzed. He was un-
able to utter a word. Gould requested
him to be seated and ventured q COM
monplace or two to reassure him. Then:
"Well, young man, I hear you want
an interview. What can / tell you?
The boy stammered something about
new road; did Mr.. Gould intend to sell
it or not? What would you advise me
to do?" was the reply, whereat the re-
porter arose and fed precipitately
Gould held his car an hour and half
after leaving time, and sent Sly Smith
all over Omaha to find him, but his
hiding place was never discovered

The men, according to their story,
told to the police. returned in the even
ing for their pay. but the proprietress,
Mrs. Cody, commonly known as the
Kerry Woman said she was busy
and could not pay them just then.
The men say that the bartender,
Tim Sweeney, came from behind the
bar, saying that he would pay them,
and without more ado fell to beating
them. Brooks was badly battered and
bruised about the head and face, and
Goldsmith received g. terrible blow on
the jaw. Perucchi, during the melee
escaped without damage.
The injured men were treated at the
Receiving Hospital and expressed THEN
intention of causing SWeeney's arrest
this morning.
About two months ago Sweeney was
arrested at the instance of Mrs. Cody
who asserted that he had robbed he1
of over 500. but she subsequently re-
fused to prosecute the case and he was
released

RENOVATION AT THE TRACK,
WHAT DIRECTOR WILSON HAS
ACCOMPLISHED.
VIII Have Everything in First
Glass Condition for the Open
ing Of the Fair.

7. w. Wilson, who as one Of the State
Fair Directors is superintendent of Ag-
ricultural Park, is one of the busiest
men in town these days. Under his
direction the park has recently under
gone a thorough renovation and never
looked more inviting that at present.
There has been thorough cleansing
of the stalls and stable buildings and
all the structures put in the best pos
sible condition for the coming fair. The
grand stand front and all the smaller
stands have been given fresh coats of
paint, until they look like new, Whlle
the walls and fences have been neatly
"whitewashed." though the prevailing
color is a. grayish blue that is very soft
and pleasing to the eye.
One change in particular that has
been made will be greatly appreciated
by the throngs that view the races
from the ground beneath the grand
stand It is the removal Of the iron
fence that ran from the judges stand
along the line Of the grand stand north
ward to the end of the stand, fencing
off the space between the stand and the
race-track fence known as the quar-
ter-stretch."
This leaves an uninterrupted ground
space from the west line of the grand
stand (along Twentieth street, clear to
the track, with no gate-keepers to pass
to the quarter-stretch only those who
had paid extra for that privilege.
The only fence that remains is one
that surrounds the judges stand. The
stairway to the reporters stand has
been changed from the north to the
south end, and comes within this small
inclosure, so that only those who are
entitled to seats therein can have &C
cess to the steps. This arrangement
will be appreciated by the daily press
reporters who have TO work every min
ute they are in the stand, as heretofore
their narrow workbox has been over
run with people who had no connection
with daily newspapers.
In the early morning trainers have
their horses on the track, and the
scene is a very animated one. Later in
the day men with harrows, scrapers,
sprinkling wagons, etc, take posses
sion, and the track is fast approaching
its best possible condition. Horses that
are to take part in the races are ar
irving daily and the stalls are filling
up.
When superintendent Wilson COM
pletes his labors this week he will have
everything about the Park as bright
and fresh as new

How About the Sewers?

Eds. Record Union: I wonder if
anyone connected with the city Govern
ment can tell when the sewers were
last given a good flushing. This is
the time of year when the most thor
ough flushing possible should be done
up to the coming of the winter rains.
Last fall there was a great deal of
sickness caused by the foulness of the
sewers, and if possible it should not be
again permitted. Water is plentiful,
the city can use all it requires, with
out cost, and there are employees enough
on the payroll to do the work.
Mr.. Mayor, what is the matter with
having the sewers washed out?
