The only dramatic entertainments during the past week were the appear- ance at the Academy on Monday eve- ning of the Lingards, and the G. A. R. entertainment of Wednesday evening. The former company played to a rath- er swall house, but presented in inim- | itable style one of the most taking burlesques ever given in Omaha. The G. A. R. entertainment was novel in its principal features and satisfactory to the audience, but was not financial- ly a success, owing to the storm. One of the most attractive features of the programme was lost, through the ill- ness of little Miss McCormick. Miss White's reading formed the most tak- ing part of the entertainment, and it is 1o exaggeration to say that she met with more general favor than a They Make an Excursion to Omaha on the 14th Inst. The University cadets from Lincoln propose to visit Omaha on Saturday next, witha full battalion,fifty strong, besides the cadet band of twelve pieces. They come on their own no- tion to see Omaha, and to let Omaha soe them. It is probable that they will give a battallion drill at some con- venient point mear the center of the city to show our citizens what they have learned under the command of Prof..Webster of the regular army. Through the favor of the Omaha & Republican Valley railroad the round trip is granted them and other Uni- versity students at two dollars. Com- pany G, Capt. Crager, will receive and entertain the cadets while here. We now understand what Lieut.

The court said that from the fact that prices had been generally inflated he would allow the demand, which gives Judge Wake- ley the right to appeal. It will there- fore go to the supreme. court, because of the general inflation. In the case of Patrick against Leech, Gen, J. C. Cowin, John D. Howe and C. H. Brown have filed an jplication to be made parties defend- ant, the reasqn being as follows: These three attorneys obtained some time since in the district court of this city a judgment of more than $20,000 in favor of Leech and against Patrick. Pending further proceedings, which related to the enforcement of the judgment, Leech and Patrick got together privately and settled the judgment, Leech receiving $1000 in cash. Leech’s attorneys were thus left out in the cold. They now make application to be allowed to come in as defendants in this case, in order that they may prosecute proceedings in their own names, as the parties, They claim that previous to the settle- ment between these parties Patrick had actual notice of their lien. Judge McCrary made an order on Saturday, referring the matter to J. L. Webster, Master in Chaneery, to take testimony and determine whether actual notice was served on Patrick, or not. The court pliinly intimated that if the Master shall report that actual notice of the lien was served on Patrick pri- or to the settlement of the judgment, he would allow these attorneys to come in as parties and prosecute fur- ther proceedings for the enforcement of the judgment in their own names. determinations was to refuse to place the fare in the box. He, however, in every instonce tendered the money to the drivers. Mr. Sauer followed this course systematically sinee April 23rd last, and various threats being unavail- | o ing to induce him to conform to the ¢ regulations of the company, Captain Marsh brought suit on one of the fares as a test case and Mr. Sauer defended. M. Sauer's reasons for complaining of the driver were stated by him on the stand. Captain Marsh was represented by Mr. George A. Pritchett, and Mr. Sauer by Homer Stull and Col. E. F. Smythe. he prosecution began by placing Superintendent Smith on_the stand, | who testified that Captain Marsh was the owner of the street car linc, and that the drivers were not allowed to accept fares, the e being that passengers must place the fares in the boxes.~ On cross-examination the wit- ness said his knowledge of Captain Marsh’s ownership was founded on sceinga paper dated April, 1879, pur- porting to be deed of the line to him. Driver Highland, of No. 6 of the green line, testified to Mr. Sauer’s ob- streperousness, Mr. Sauer had refus- ed to pay his fare on the morning of April 26th last.

Smyth_illicited the fact from him that " this driver had special i structions to refuse to accept fares from Mr. Saver. He said to Col. Smythe he understood the real cause of Mr. Sauer's failure_to deposit his fares to be on account of No, 8's refusals to stop for Mr. Sauer. This closed the case for Capta Marsh and the Street Railway com- pan Mr. Sauer then took the stand and testified substantially as follows: T refused to deposit my fares for the reason that I claimed it was an accom- odation to Captain Marsh for me to do s0, and as he had_ refused to remedy certain _glaring abuses on the green line, I felt justified in adopting the course Ldid.

Two close carriages, at A. onet ad e pted to, was that the | regulation requiring passengers to de- posit their own fares_was not enforced m every instance. He contended the driver's acceptance of the fare was a service to the passenger, not in_ viola- tion of the “company’s” regulation; further that the regulation was a scnable one, and as such was luwful, and the only question for the jury to decide was it a truly reasonable one. Col. Smythe presented the case for the defense. He insisted the prosceu- tion had not proved the_ ownership of the street car line, that if it was estab- lished that Captain Marsh was_th owner, it was simply as a_private ind vidual, without power of law to m: and enforce any rules or regulations on any citizen; that the prosecution di not show by Captain Marsh, one else, that the five cents w paid by Mr. Sauer, or that he is in- debted in any sum to CaptainMarsh. Again that the defendant had not re- fused to pay his_fare, but in every in- stance tendered it, and that the proof did not show that the fare was worth the money asked. Col. Smythe in- stanced Chicago and New York as lo- calities where the public had refused to accept the *“bob-ta arrange- ment, with success. He insisted that in no event could this street railway’ “‘company” bring an action of this kind where a passenger had tendered, and always stood ready to pay his fare. The charge from the court was simply to the effect that if the box was con- ¢ venient and so forth, the regulation was reasonable and the jury must find accordingly. Col. Smythe at once took ex: to the charge, and the jury retired. In fifteen minntes they returned _with a verdict for five cents for the plaintiff.
