TodBon-CTho Bnn of Thursday contained n chapteron the mysterious disappearance of the youngman Toduon , who , before going nwny hnilfavored people with whom ho hail been deal-ing

¬

with a variety of checks which wcro notworth the paper upon which they wcro made-.It

.

was Inadvertently .'stated , however , thatthe bank which Todson nnd attempted

'f ono of his spurious deals was the First Nn-I tlonnl. Later developments show , however,

that such waanotthocaso and that the youngman had selected the Citizens' bank on Cum-Ing

-

street for his work. Ho started m hiserratic business ns early ns Sunday lust whenui on n check for f 10 ho secured that amountof hard cash from his employer. Louis JohnB-

OH-

, a grocer nt 2-130 Ginning , on the groundif that the Citizens' bank had his money ,

r nnd of course could not pay out nny-on that day. Early In the week hoconsummated his purchase of Mr. Johnson'sstore but had previously deposited with thebank mentioned a check for ? 10,000 , purportedto have been made by W. J. Yunk & Co. ,Clinton , In. Johnson , who had sold out hisstore , was nnxlous to get his money , whichwas represented by n check for $3,500 givenhim by Todson. Accordingly ho presentedhis check to the Citizens' bank , nnd Mr. Tom-plotoii

-

, of that Institution , snld that Todsonhad plnccd the Yunk check with them onlyfor collection nnd thnt ho had not yet hadtlmo to hear from the bank on which It wasmade, nnmoly the First National of Clinton ,In. A Mr. Peterson , fnthor-in-lnw of John-son

¬

, was present during the Interview nnd-wna told by Mr. Templcton that if he would

' indorse the Yunk check, which hadnlrcndy been indorsed by Todson ,hoTcmpleton( ) would ndvnnco Johnson $3000-on the check. This was offered because of-Mr. . Peterson's known responsibility , nndnot because of nny of Todson's representat-ions.

¬

. Mr. Peterson refused to endorse thecheck. Lntcr the Citizens' bank telegraphedthe First National bank in Clinton and nakedIf the latter would honor n check for $10,000-on AV. J. Young & Co. At the place men-tioned

¬

there is a well-known lumber firm ofthat name , who nro quoted by Urndstrccts ntabout 3000000. it was undoubtedly this

- flrm that Tcdson had in his mind , althoughthe check wns written "W. J. Younk & Co. ."

s- n "It" being substituted for the letter "g" Inthe nnmo. The bnnk answeied theCitizens' to the effect thatW. J , Young & Co. had no such check out.This shows that the young nmn was guiltyof forgery. It was ono of the llrst stepswhich leiLto his discovery. Then the knowl-edge

¬

of tno checks ho had given to a numberof merchants ? circulated , the total of thoseknown amounting to 4530. With these ho-hnd furnished his hotfso In beautiful style ,and lost night ho und his little bride wcro to-hnvo been married nnd to take possession ofthe same , but before the time to do so nr-rlvcd

-, the deceived merchants hnd reclaimed

every nrticlo they hnd delivered , the only ex-ception

¬

being Erickson , the Sixteenth streetjeweler , who is missing n watch which Ted ¬

son took with him. It wns errone-ously

¬

stated that Todsou hnil pur-chased

¬

quito nn nmouiit of jewelrywhich ho hnd bestowed upon his Intendedbride , but that icport was unfounded. Hobought no jewelry and his weeping tianco isannoyed over the aspersion which lias beencast both upon herself und her intended hus-band

¬

, -j

When it was discovered thnt the "Young1check wns n fraud , parties hero telegraphedto Todson's mother in Clinton and asked if itwere true that money had been left her son.She replied she hnd no money and none hadbeen promised her son. This settled thecase that the young mnn was cither n knaveor a fool. But.his little intended wife wnsseen by a Bnn reporter yesterdayand maintained that Todson is neitherono nor tlio other. When llrstseen by the Bin : mnn she was looking outof ono of the east windows of her presentresidence ns if to doscern her approachinglover. There wcro tears in her eyes , nndwhen the scribe met her in her parlor in thepresence of her mother nnd n couple of ladyfriends , she was really un object of pity andsympathetic admiration.

Her mnno , at her request , is withhold. Shesaid she had known Todson for severalmonths nnd did not know how long she hndbeen engaged to him to bo married. She didnot know that ho hnd nny money , thinkingthnt that wns his own business. She wasnot nwnro that ho was goingto mnko so elaborate a furnishingof their intended homo until n short timebefore Todson commenced to do it. Sheknew thnt his parents lived in Clinton , In. ,nnd she had the fullest confidence in him-.Ho

.

had never acted strangely or ns onodemented in her presence. On the contrary ,ho seemed always sensible nnd cheerful nnd-happy. . In this description her mother coin-cided

¬

and stoutly mnintalncd thnt Todsonnever did what he had done without the hopeof paying for it in some wnv. The little ladythen showed n telegram which she receivedyesterday evening from Todson. It wastinted Knnsns City nnd read as follows :

' "Everything all right ; will leave hero mton minutes. Yours , JKSSE. "

"What will you do If Mr. Todson shouldreturn to Ouiulmi" nsked the reporter ofMiss .

"I will do all 1 cnn snld the bride-expect¬

ant , "to get him out of his trouble. "Whatever the world may think of Todson-

ho has yet an abiding place in the affectionsof the young lady whom ho has brought intounpleasant notoriety ,

A GIGANTIC SCHEME.

How tlio I'nvliiR Price la to Bo HulledUy Cotincllmcu and Contractors.-

A.

BRK reporter miido Inquiry at the oflico-of the board of public works yesterday to-

ncccrtnln in what respects the specificationsfor paving differed from those of last year ,ns it Is now claimed by councilman.

The difference was shown to bo that here-after

¬

contractors will bo ex-pected to consider In their bidsthe removal of the earth necessary to laydown pavement , for which no churgo mustbo made on graded streets. Heretofore , thiswork has required the nllowcnco of n grcnlamount of oxtrns , mid it seems to bo the de-sire

-of the hoard to do away with these.

Another difference is that hereafter threegallons of coal tnr pitch will bo required tosquare yard instead of but two gallons nsheretofore on cedar block pavement. Thischange will cause an extra expense of aboutelghf to ton cents per square yard.

These , it is claimed , are tlio facts whichInduce certain members of the council totalk about the increased cost of paving , theeffect of which will bo to impel contractors toput in only high bids.-

Oij.

next Tuesday there will be an electionto dccitlo whether or not * 100.000 sewer bondsnnd 1100,000 bonds for paving in front of-unassessod property plmll bo Issued. Titoproportion ot paving hi front of prlvato Prop ,erty ns compared with that of Inter-Sections

-is ns flvo to one , so that

there will this year bo laid about f.100000worth of paving. As this , if there bo but onokind of paving used , must bo let to ono man-or ilrm , there is a likelihood of being a grandcombine of contractors or else ono man tak ¬

ing tlio job and with a knowledge of tlio lackof financial backing of others , placing his

JMV1 Ji'SU ujiirfi *lpon his work ,

THE HOARD JlJJETlNQ-t"It nil comes from the contr vicr? : they're-

hedging. . It may bo nil right on their pat IT

but we shouldn't listen. They intend toraise their bids this summer nnd want < o-

huvo a reason for doing it. They want tolay It off on some ona and have chosen Tillf-

OU-

flyd Ins tha victims. As n matter oftact the OnFy fnorcasp in cost will bo about agallon of tnr or HJ cents pGr 2 "nrc yrd. "

Tho. speaker was Chairman UnlcoiriuC. S"4-Iho listeners wcro his fellpw members ,

olnyne and Holmroct. Kx-Chnlriiian Crcighton -was also there, and occasionally had uword to say on the subject under discussion.{The subject was the proposed change in theipeciflcations , which are m future to guldokny contractor lucky enough to get a co-ntact

¬

for paving the streets of Omaha. TheUianfiO calls for the use of three gallons of

tar to the square yard of blockpavement Instead of two gallonsM formerly , nhd for broken stoneof a minimum diameter of half an inchinstead of >f Inch , ns was used In the con-crete

¬

pavements of last year. Messrs. Mnyno-anil Ilelmrod dlil not wish to adopt them be-

cause-

the new specifications wcro preparedby Chairman Balcombo and City EngineerTillson , without consulting them or askingtheir approval. Ex-Chairman Crclghton op-posed

¬

them because ho was Interested Inproperty on Twelfth and Thirteenth streets ,

and thought they meant higher prices forstreet Improvements. And so ho said :

"You want to Increase the slzo of the stone ,

and so Increase the cost , without derivingany benefit."

"No , I don't. The only change wo'vo madeis right here1' said the chairman. "Wowant the average dimensions of the stone to-

bo J4 inch instead of }{ inch , because ivothink that will better answer the purposeand give a better road. "

"How can It make a better roadl" askedthe ox-chotrmnn. "A stone Is n solid ,

and you want to replace itwith sand. You practically wantto oxc'iido' solids , lor the larger the stone thelari.cr the Interstices and the more sandwill bo required to fill them."

A general conversation folloxvcd , In whichthe merits of largo and small stone wcro dis-cussed

¬

at length , and It was stated that thesupervision of the construction had moro to-

do with making good pavement than cither.Finally Mr. Hcimrod handed in n resolution ,ignoring altogether the new specifications ,and stating that nil contracts would bo gov-erned

¬

by those In force In 1SS7. It wasalmost a vote of censure on the chairman ,and after reading it ho put it down-

."Will.

you put that motion Mr. Chairman ! "asked the mover-

."Well.

, let us talk a minute first. Wouldn'tit bo better and more reasonable , seeing It'sgone so far, to let bids come in on both ! "

C. E. Mnyno thought , In that case , as bidswcro already asked for , that if any biddershould como in with a tender based on onoset of specifications only (should ho not havereceived the other ) that ho might bring thematter Into court. It was explained that theboard could reject any or all bids-

.Clmlimnn.

Balcombo then prepared anotherresolution , but ns It referred to the newspecifications as those of " 1888 , " neither ofthe other members would offer It , claimingthat by so doing they would endorse themand render them legal. Mr. Mayno was will-ing

¬

to receive tcndeis on both specifications ,

reject them nil if necessary , and frame n newset after March S3. Another long consulta-tion

¬

was hold , In which the ex-chairman saidthat the "moro you scatter your bids themoro trouble you'll have , " but at the closeMqmbcr Heimiod substituted the followingfor his original motion i

Kcsolved , That the chairman bo requestedto furnish to contractorspavlngspecillcatlons-of 1887 , and receive bids UM| > II the same. Theboard will also receive bids based upon a cer-tain

¬

specification marked "proposed specifica-tion

¬

of 1888."This seemed to bridge over the trouble and

was carried-."Why

.did you oppose the change ! " asked

the Br.n reporter of the mover-."Well

.

, you sco Balcombo and the engineerframed it without consulting us , and wo claimthat it should not have been done. The onlyspecifications in force nro those of 18S7 , untilthe whole Doard changes them. There's noharm in taking bids on tho- new ones , how-ever

¬

, and then wo can compare the differencein cost. "

"No , there will bo no such difference in-

cest as they claim ," said the city engineer-."It's

.a contractors kick. To furnish the ono-

half inch stone , will require a little morolabor In screening , and they don't like it.There arc only one or two firms that furnishthe city with broken stone , and they may puttheir heads together and raise the price , butif there was any competition , I don't think itwould cost the city a cent more. Wo claimthat the tnoro concrete they use ( in filling upthe spaces ) the better the road will be. "

.Bofopo adjourning permission was givenDr. Mercer to connect his present lines ofrailway at the following points : Twelfthstreet F.irnam to Douglas , Fourteenth streetDouglas to Howard , Burt street Nineteenthto Twenty second , Leavenworth street Fif-teenth to Twenty-fourth and to connect thetrack at Twenty-second and Cuming.-

.Tho.

. specifications for sewers nndgrading for 1S83 were adopted , nndthose for curbing continued. The 5 per-cent reserve held on the sewer contracts waspassed as follows : Dhtrlct 3.3 , Pierce fromTenth to the river P. J. McAuloy , 8728.24 ;

district 42 , Thirteenth from Hickory to Leav-enworth

¬

, Mount & Griilln , 733a.j ; district53 , Pacific from Sixth to Seventh , P. H. Mc-Auley.

-

. 2083.Chairman Calcombo objected to the follow-

ing¬

resolution , which , however , was carried :

Kcsolved , That each and every contractentered into by this board for the city ofOmaha , befoio being sent to the city councilfor its approval , shall , in addition to the slg-nature ot the chairman , huvo the name of atleast ono of the other members attachedthereto and bo certified to ns follows : "Ap ¬

proved by the board of public works , ,183 , " which must bo signed by the clerk ofthis board and the data of such approval in-

serted.¬

The board then adjourned , to meet againon the 23d.

District Court.J-.UTZ

.ACQUIT TED.

Yesterday Mr. Gurley , in behalf of theslate , began the arguments in the Lutz mur-aer

-trial , Mr. Ourley's address was attent-

ively¬

listened to by the court , the jury nnd acrowded room of spectators. The youni ? at-

torney¬

made a powerful address and perhapsmade as strong a plea as has been heard inany case in the district court for a long timewhere the preponderance of evidence favoredthe prisoner.-

Mr..

. Gurloy was followed by Mr. CharlesOffut. Mr. Offut's address In many respectswas n remarkable ono , and the eloquence ofthe orator caused many to shed tears , whllothe sous of tlio prisoner worn audible in allparts of the room. Judge Groff was visiblyaffected , and at least three of the Jurorsshowed suspicious signs of sympathy withthe prisoner.-

Mr..

. Oltut made , first , a careful analysis ofthe testimony. Ho argued that the case ofthe state rested entirely upon the evidenceof Gcrhardt Lutz , the unnatural son of thedefendont , who would place a halter aboutthe neck of his own father to shield the de-pravity

¬

of the mother. Lynch , the murderedman , was scourged by the denunciatory sar-casm

¬

of the attorney. Ho was shown to havebeen , ( in the language of Mr. Ollut ) "as fouln cn-aturo upon whom the blasting accusationof crime ever rested as over existed. " Theattorney then entered into a discussion of thesacred ties that should surround thehomo and showed how the llreside of Lutzhud been robbed of the mother of his threechildren. Mr. Oftut then wont into the self-dufenso

-theory and claimed that the evidence

showed that Lut * shot Lynch to save his ownlife. Mr , Olfut closed at noon and Mr. Es-tcllo

-began his argument at 3 o'clock.

County AHornoy Slmerul closed the argu-ments

¬

with a strong arralchnient of the pris-oner

¬

, The Judge delivered a brlof and com-prehensive

¬

charge to the jury , who retiredand in about an hour returned with a verdictof not guilty , The prisoner was tbeieupondischarged.-
