The Baltimore custom-house Contract.
1t Goes to the Maryland Firm.
Special to The Republican Journal. /


Especial to The Republican Journal.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 5. Although
compromise regarding the granite for the
Baltimore Custom-house, to cost about
$4,000, was supposed to have been arrang-
ed, as stated in recent letter to The Jour
nal, it fell through at the last moment and a
new plan was hit upon by the Treasury
authorities, favorable to Henry Smith and
Sons of Maryland
Gov. Burleigh and Senator Hale both
went to the front for the Mount Waldo
Granite Company, but the Maryland delega-
ton in Congress, as we'll as the Baltimore
business men. were very insistent that the
new structure, which is to be one of the
finest in the South, should be of native
Maryland material.
A letter from Messrs. Hornblower &
Marshall, architects, who are in charge Of
the construction of the new custom-house
turned the scale in favor of the Maryland.
people. Gov. Burleigh learned of their
recommendation and, striving in the interest
of Mr.. John Peirce of New York and Hon
Albert Peirce of Frankfort, sought to have
the Mt. Waldo bid accepted instead, but the
Treasury officials decided against him

REUNION OF PENNSYLvANIANS
BOX Lunch Substitutes Banquet I'm
Program of This Years EN-
tertainment.

The Pennsylvania club of Omaha held It's
fourteenth annual reunion last evening in
Myrtle hall. Continental block. The clubs
membership numbers over 1900. The at
tendance last evening was fully equal to
that of last year, when nearly 900 attended
the banquet and entertainment. This year
the club changed it's reunion plans. No
banquet was given last evening, but a box
lunch was substituted, and as these boxes
were ~designedly, in many instances, full
OF things other than pie and cake, the dis
tribution by auction sale disclosed sur
prising Enclosures, of which the eloquent
Ructioneer and attractive exterior wrap
pings gave no suggestion.
The program for the entertainment was
made up Of recttations, songs and instru-
mental music.
The Pennsylvania club is the only state
club that has maintained it's existence in
Omaha. Several were organized during the
Transmississippi exposition, but disap-
peared soon afterward. At that time this
club gathered accurate and interesting sta
tistics regarding Pennsylvanians In Ne
braska, which showed, among other things,
that OF the Pennsylvanians there are about
400 voters in Omaha n 10000 in the
state. Pennsylvania day at the exposition
was second In number of visitors, Nebraska
being first. There are organizations in
Burt and sarpy counties, the former having
, membership Of over 300. They give an
annual picnic.
The club will elect new officers Thursday,
March 8. at noon, in the Commercial club

less.

Samuel /. Gordon received two distinct
jolts from the strong arm Of the law yester-
day, one delivered by Judge Dickinson and
the other by Judge Keysor. The first was
refusal to grant the temporary injunction
asked to prevent the payment Of Judge
Berka's salary as police Judge for January,
and the dissolution Of the restraining order
which the court had allowed pending the
hearing Of the argument on this motion.
City Attorney Connells part Of the argu-
men was not lengthy, but Judge Filler,
representing Judge Gordon. dragged on at
such length that for the last two days Of
the four that the case has occupied In court
the room has been Stunned as though un-
der quarantine.
The second knockout was the refusal Of
Judge Keysor to allow Eller to file an
amended petition in the case Of w. G. Yoder
to enjoin the payment Of the mayors SAL
airy. The court has dismissed this case and
charged the costs to Yoder.

OBJECTIONS TO BOND ISSUE
City officials Pronounce Proposed Ordinance
Needless and Premature,
DEBTS CAN Be LIFTED BY TAX LtV
4 Issue H. Intended to Raise Money
10 Cover Special Taxes Can
ceIIed by Court Action
~ IL Premature.

The refunding bond ordinance introduced
ut the last council meeting is attracting
considerable attention. City officials who
had little to say on the subject a week ago
are now ~outspoken in their denunciation OF
the measure.
The city treasurer and the city comp
t%roIler agree that there is no need for the
passage Of such an ordinance. They COM
pare 1t with the %refunding ordinance passed
February 8, 1888. which provided for an
issue Of $780, 900 in bonds "for the purpose
OF funding. taking up and making payment
of the floating Indebtedness and liabilities
of the city" The ordinance now pending
before the council has the same heading.
The only difference is in the amount Of the
bonds. The issue Of 1898 has been severely
criticised, for the reason that a large part
of the money derived therefrom was used
In paying obligations which should have
been taken care Of in another way, namely,
from the regular tax levy.
The $500, 900 in refunding bonds issued In
uses sold at a premium Of s7,216.67, which
made the total amount 1901, 216.67. This
money. as shown by the records in the ONCE
of the comptroller, was used to fund war
rants as follows:

Chief Etter demonstrates.

Chief Etter of the fire department is
preparing a communication to be sent to
the city council in connection with the
dead street car rails on the streets. At
Twenty-seventh and L streets there Is a
Y, which has broken more fire apparatus
than any piece Of track in the city. Months
ago the city council asked the Omaha
Street Railway company to remove these
rails, but nc attention has SO far been
paid to the request. On N street one line
Of dead tracks extends from Twenty-fourth
street to a short distance west of Twenty
sixth street. These tracks have not been
used for years and a number Of requests
have been made by the city officials for
the removal Of what is termed distractions
to traffic.
In making a run to a fire at Swift's early
Sunday morning, hose wagon No. 1 struck
the dead rails at Twenty-foIrth and N
streets, and the cart was considerably dam
aged. The city will be put to the expense
Of not less than SIS for repairs caused by
these rails. 4
In speaking OF the matter last night
Chief Etter said that II the unused car
tracks in the city were taken up the city
would be saved considerable money each
year in repairs to apparatus.
