INQUEST HELD.
Nothing New Developed Concerning the
Death of James Shoemaker.

The inquest over the remains of the
late James Shoemaker was held at the
undertaking rooms of John Klein &
Co. today, the jury being composed of
o. P. Iceberg, James Fl. Moore, Thos.
Dooley, Il. P. Jensen, B. D. Pay and
Robt. Lamm.
The witnesses examined were @. M.
Johnson, the warehouseman at the
Omaha freight depot, Ben Page the
drayman, Howard WEIGH, and Brake
men Peter Klages, Frank NJ. Brink
and John Bell, the two latter of st.
Paul.
Nothing new was developed by the
testimony, which was in line with the
account of the accident published by
the Free Press yesterday. 1t appears
that four tramps were the first to give
the alarm when the train backed up,
and these and the crew of the switch
engine attracted the attention of Mr..
Bell, who was on the rear end of the
train, and he signaled to the engineer
to stop.
Mr.. Bell testified that the train had
done some switching and that eight
cars were attached to the engine and
ten were in "string" by the freight
depot, all being on the warehouse
track. The engine and eight cars
backed slowly to the ten cars and made
an automatic coupling with them, thus
forming solid train. The engine had
backed six feet or more after this
when the alarm was given by the
tramps and switch engine crew shout
ing. The slack in couplings went GU
and allowed the rear Car to move a Car
length and half. Mr.. Shoemaker
was behind this Car. and no one, no
matter how spry, could have saved
himself.
The following verdict was returned
by the jury.
"That the said James Shoemaker
came to his death by being run over
by the c., st. P, NJ & o. railroad
company cars, as given by the wit
nesses in the railroad company's en-
ploy, which accident occurred near the
said company's freight depot in Man
kato, Mimi -

FRONTAGE TAX.
To Be Applied for Purposes for
Which Levied.
Charter Commission Perfects the Provis.
ion Allowing the Issue of Certif.=
Gates of Indebtedness.

Nine members of the charter COM
mission were present at the meeting
last night. The time was taken up
with the consideration of chapter six,
relating to the department of public
improvements, and this was still I'M
completed when adjournment was
taken.
By vote of three for to six against,
DR.. Andrews amendment providing
for furnishing free water to the hos
pitfalls was defeated. The majority of
the members felt that the line could
not be drawn and that everybody
should be treated alike.
1t was voted to place the money re-
ceived from the five cent frontage tax
on water mains in the sinking fund, to
be used only for the redemption of
water bonds as they come due. 1t
was felt that it was not right to use
this money for some other purpose and
then again tax the people who have
once paid it, in order to pay off the
bonds.
The chapter on the levying of taxes
and issuing of certificates of indebted
ness was read as rewritten and was
adopted. 1t is thought that it will
meet all objections. 1t provides that
certificates may be issued to antici-
pate eighty per cent of the tax levy for
any fund, and that the first money that
is received into the fund from the
county treasurer must be used to re-
deem the certificates in the order in
which they were issued. 1t is thought
that certificates will only rarely have
to be issued. Each fund is to be kept
separate.
The provisions of the 1901 law relat-
ing to special. assessments were incor-
porated bodily into the new charter.
The commission will hold another
meeting Friday night.
