R.ICE, Prop. J AS NIGHT CAPTAIN Council Holds Up Mayor's Nomi nation of Luke E. Hemenway. CONFIRM THREE PATROLMEN City Will Accept Park Subscription; City Attorney protests Against Certain Action. Capt. Luke E. Hemenway was nomin ated last night by Mayor McCaskrin j for the position of night captain of po lice, but for some reason, best known to the aldermen, the nomination was laid over to the next meeting, on mo tion of Aid. Robbins. Capt. Hemenway is a man who has proven himself com petent in his positions in the army in the service of Uncle Sam as a member of Company A. serving in Porto Rico, in the Spanish-American war, and there is no particular reason for doubting his ability in the capacity of a city officer. Sonif All ItiKht. No reason was given for passing the nomination over, but there seemed to be an understanding among a few of the aldermen that any new nomination should be held up. This was shown by Aid. O'Connor's motion to lay over John Kinney's nomination. When he learned that he was a man who served under the former administration, he withdrew his motion, and information was asked upon the nomination of Charles Sexton and Sidney Pearson, as to whether they were already on the force or not. Kin ney. Pearson and Sexton were nomin ated for patrolmen and were unani mously confirmed .--rpt I'ark ul-rlt ion. The question with reference to the park subscriptions, which was laid on the table for one week, was disposed of though a resolution by Aid. Anderson. It was provided that the subscriptions should be accepted, but that none of the council's appropriation of Jl.Oin) should be used until all of the sub scriptions of $1,200 had been paid to the clerk. t'itjr Attorney ProtentM. When the ordinance for the improve ment of Fifth avenue from Eighteenth to Nineteenth street by asphalt paving came before the council. City Attorney Olson entered a protest. His charges were that the council had already adopted two or three such ordinances authorizing work to be done by private contract without first submitting them for his inspection. Aid. Anderson an swered with the statement that several matters which of necessity were in his hands were delayed beyond a reason able time and that when there was reason for immediate action the alder men could not be biamed for taking a course that would so result. The city attorney was requested to submit his protest in writing, which he did. After it was read by the clerk, the aldermen proceeded to amend it to suit them selves, instead of putting it on the rec ords or rejecting it as a whole, and after it was satisfactorily amended by striking out the important parts, the remainder was laid iion the table on motion of Aid. Oberg. lt(--niiiirnN Mrtrr. Mayor McCaskrin presented a mes sage with reference to various matter:: in connection with the waterworks. Among other things he recommended the purchase of a pump of much smal ler capacity than is now under consid eration. and the use of a portion of the remainder of the money in the purchase of meters to reduce the waste that is now prevalent throughout the city. It was further recommended that the city purchase a fire engine, citing the instance in Moline recently when a water main was broken by the pres sure from the waterworks.

The attorneys were heard from on the matter and the court will decide later what he will do as to the calling of a jury. Murder (' Flrnt. First on trial in the criminal list will be the alleged murderers of Brady, the case of William Nagel probably being disposed of before that of the womam.
