Due to Mistake i'm Cipher.

CONSTANTINOPLE Aug. 2S.-It trans
pires that the report that Vice Consul Ma
gelssen was killed Is incorrect. An I'M
known individual fired at him and the bull
let's passed close to the vice consul but
did not touch him. The Vail of Beirut
afterward visited Vice Consul Magelssen,
expressed his regrets for the outrage ana
ordered measures for the arrest Of the per-
petrator.
The error in stating that Vice Consul
Magelssen had been killed arose from a
mistake in cipher telegram.

MUST HAVE FIRE ESCAPES
building Inspector VIII Appeal TO
Court, ~ Necessary, TO
Enforce Law.

Some time ago Building Inspector Carter
undertook the enforcement OF the law and
ordinances requiring adequate FIRE escapes
on all hotels and fat buildings and he has
now extended his efforts to the business
hous4s and other public buildings.
Among these is the block, the hve-story
ONCE building on the corner OF Sixteenth
and Dodge streets, to which the attention
Of Mr.. Carter was directed az the time Of
the recent fire in Roses art store. Mr..
Carter and Deputy Labor COMMISSIONS
Watson ordered fire escapes on this build
ing at the time OF their inspection last
summer, but the matter has never received
attention. Now the building inspector has
ordered that the Improvement be made at
once and intends TO see that II Is done
even II he has to go to the courts for as
sistance.
Mr.. Carter has approved the FIRE escapes
recently placed upon the new building OF
the Bemis Omaha Bag company, which he
says is now the best equipped Of any bust
ness block in the city, and also those on the
Windsor and Her Grand hotels. The con-
tract has been let for fire escapes on the
Merchants hotel in conformity with the
directions of the building inspector and
work will be begun this week. Contracts
have been let for the new work on the
Paxton annex and the Thurston hotel. Mr..
Carter says the proprietors Of two hotels
have refused to comply with his require
ments as to fire escapes and he intends,
after he has allowed them reasonable time,
to appeal to the courts for assistance.

W TO PURCHASE REMAINS
Supreme Court Reafirms Decision in
the POppIetOn water
Works Case.

The city OF Omaha still stands with power
10 purchase the water works under contract
1t ans. time IL wishes now. and at the same
time II has no power TO secure the 200 extra
hydrants desired until such purchase Is
made.
This is the result OF a decision just handed
down by the supreme court Of Nebraska. in
which was reafirmed the decision of some
years ago rendering permanent the Popple-
ton injunction against the city council.
This injunction restraints the council from
extending the time OF purchase under con-
tract Ave years. or from 1908 to 1908.
e. NJ. Fairfield, manager OF the Omaha
Water company, received telegraphic infor-
nation from Lincoln yesterday to tho
effect that this reafirmAtion had Just been
handed down. The case started in 1898. Al
that time the contract between the city and
the water company read for twenty-five
years, with the addition that the city might
purchase the works after twenty years II
desired. The contract dated from 1888.
An ordinance was introduced providing
for taking away that privilege OF purchase

THINKS HE HAS RIGHT MAN
Chief Suspects Connolly of
Completely In O'Nein sR-
loon Robbery.

The fact that there were blood stains on
the broken window in o'Neill's saloon at
Sixteenth and Cunning streets. through
which burglars entered, and also that a
man named Connolly, who has been ar
rested by the police, had one Of his hands
cut and blood-stained at the time he was
taken into custody, leads Chief Donahue to
believe that he is one of the men wanted.
In addition to this, his pals, Steve Horton
and Ed McKenna, who are now in custody,
were identified yesterday by the owner
Of a restaurant on Sixteenth and lizard
streets as the men whom he saw coming
from his basement After McKenna is said
to have left the place a search was made
and on a rafter was found a bag of old
coins which is thought to have been stolen
from the o'Nelll saloon. The men will be
arraigned Friday before Judge Berka.

Until this return is made the marriage
record is not written and there is on file
nothing but the stub in the license book
indicating that leave has been given two
persons to be married.; nothing to prove
that such ceremony ever has been per-
formed.
The stub. however, bears the name Of the
minister or magistrate named by the groom
as the one he intended to have of1ciate, and
so the responsibility Of the omahans who
are derelict is easily traced. Undoubtedly
the dereliction is an oversight In every
case, but lawyers in an estate case ask
nothing better than such oversight" and
costly tangles are woven on less than such
as these. Even now there is a case In
point, about to be commenced in the local
courts, and an expected result is that min
listers will find themselves urged to hunt
among their archives for the certificates
they have failed to return or have allowed
contracting parties to carry away will
them. The fact that the groom gets the
certificate and holds It does not relieve the
minister after the three months have
elapsed.

Notes from the JobbInR District.

The NJ. Z. Smith Dry Goods company has
opened a Chicago office and sample room,
where a full line OF manufactured goods
and specialties will be displayed. This
makes the third Office of this kline opened
by his firm in the last two years, one al
ST. Pau and one at San Francisco having
preceded the Chicago office.
The dry goods and millinery trade for
spring has opened earlier and better this
year than ever before. More persons are
visiting the houses and the average of tht
bills sold on the floors is larger. While
the special rates on the railroads do not
go into effect until the latter part OF the
month, the district is filling up with
enough bills TO give them free transporta-
ton under the rules OF the Omaha Jobbers'
association, which are effective now, by
the value of the purchase mounts TO the
