Their Racket is Dropped to and They are Ordered Out of Town. The game attempted to be played on West & Fritscher a fow days ago will be remembered by our readers and the same men it appears have gone down to Lincoln, the result o their trip belng out:lined in the fol- lowing article from The State Jour. nal: The old confidence game known as “Flim Flam,” or the change ‘‘racket,” was porpetrated upon several of our busipess men by three very smooth crooks from Omaha yesterday. They arrived in Lincoln Tuesday night, and early yesterday morning the chief was notified of their arrival in this city. Daring the morning the ohief and Policeman Spencer called upon the saloon keepers and cigar dealera of the city and notified them to beware of the change racket, giving each of them en outline of the old coufidence game, which In nine cases out of ten fn worked without any risk of punish- ment, if detected. They call it “'flam- flam,” and it is known as the chunge racket, and is boldly worked upon all classes of business men. Two or three “con” men enter a atore, and calling for an article, say worth 25 cents, one of them throws down a $20 note or gold piece, and the clerk hands him back $10 76. The chances are that the olerk will give him a $10 bill or gold piece and the balance in change, The sharper counts it, and secretly ploks up the 10 note, and just at that moment one of his pals throws down a quarter, and says, ‘‘You don't want all that change. There’s a quar- ter, get a ten dollar bill.” Thereupon sharper No. 1 shoves back the change and calls for a ten dollar bill, which is handed out to him, and he then quickly remarks to the oclerk, ‘‘Well, if it's all the same to you, ten and ten make twenty, please take it in and give me back my twenty dollar note.” This is all done very quickly, and the clerk becomes rattled, and thinking it is all straight, takes in the change, and returns the twenty dollar note. Then the confidenco trio take their departure and when the clerk counts up the cash he finds that it is ten dollars short, and besides he has lost the prics of the article purchared. While Mr. Spencer was detailing the modua operandi of the game to Mr. Woltemade, proprietor of the sa- loon on the corner of Ninth and P streots, the three men entered, and from their general appearance George spotted them aa the ‘‘con men,” and ceased talking and commenced ad- miring the plctures on the walls of the room, but with his oyes and eara wide open. The spokesman of the in granted First Lieut. Butler D. Price, adjutant Fourth 1nfantry, Becond Lieut, James A. Leyden, Fourth infantry, will relieve First Lieut. Batler D. Price, adjutant Fourth Infantry, from his duties as recruiting officer at Fort Omaha, Neb , during the temporary absence of Lieut. Price on leave, Leave of absence for twenty days is granted Msj C. O. Sniffen, paymas- ter United States army. He willclose his acoounts and turn over his bal- ances of public funds to Maj. J. W, Wham, paymaster United States army, before leaving. The attention of the commanding officers of posts in this department is invited to the very common custom of sending military prisoners or convicts from their posta to other points in charge of an officer. The habit may readily become an abuse, and, to avotd thie, hereafter no cffiser will be so de- talled unless, in the judement of the officer iesuing the order, the interests of the service clearly demand it. He Turns Up Again in & Crimi- nal Suit, Charged With Obtaining Cver a Thousand Dollars by False Pretenses. The Victim Being James H. Kyner the Contractor. Dick Adams, the ex-postmaster of Daadwood, has turned up again on the criminal records and this time not Uncle Sam but an Omaha man is the victim, Richard O. Adamws’ name has been beforé the public pretty extensively, in connection with an alieged defalca- tion while acting in the role of post- master in the Blect Hil's, The most strenuous effrts were put forth to save him from the penitentiary at that timo and it is beliaved that this ob- ject wes accomplished by his friends putting up the cash to cover the defi- oienocy, A complaint has now been filed in Judge Beneke's court charging him with obtaining money under false pre. tences, and the cfficer will probably leave to-day for Lincoln to obtawn the necessary requisition for him. Adams, slnce leaving Deadwood, has been ount at Hailey, Idaho, one of the most proeper- ous and promising thwas in the Wood River country. The com- plaint charges that on or abou: the 10th of September, 1882, in tho city of Omaha, he obtained $1,000 in money from Mr. James H. Kyner, a member of the lower house in the last legislature and since actively engaged in contract work on the Oregon Short Line and other Lranches of the Union Flr'y, a tall, well dressed, gentlemanly ooking fellow, slapped Woltemade on the shoulder with a familiarity that was perfectly appalling. He claimed that he had met an old friend of Woltemade's in Iowa who had re quested him to stop and ses him and set 'em up for the boys. Throwing down a 810 bill he asked those pres- ent to ‘‘take something.” Mr, SBhaw, the bar keeper, waited upon the party and fornished the liquids; then, pick- ing up the bill, he made the change, when the ‘‘con” commenced 'fiu racket as above detailed. But it was no go, and Shaw told him that forty years ago it was a very slick game, but it was getting too old, and they’ oaght to try somothing new. They left the saloon without saying a word Tho next place they visited was Quick's where a $20 bill was thrown down and the drinks ordered, When they asked for bills instead of silver, Mr Quick quickly collared the man, and led him to the door. From there the gang walked to Grimes' stove store where one of them entered, apparently in a great hurry, and remarked: “Mr, Grimes, the old woman told me to get a large-sizad bread pan.” The pan was handed to the man and the usual $10 bill thrown on the show case. Mr. Grimes, who did not know the racket, remarked that he had no change, but would step out and get the bill changed, *‘Never mind,” said the con, “‘I am going over to Quick's, and will get the pan when 1 come . From there the party went to Chinn & New's wholesale cigar store, but the racket would not work, and the men left, apparently ashamed of them- selves, About 9 o'clook last night Police- man Spencer took the trail, and know- ing they would put In the night falth fully durivg the night, he determined to find them. Ho visited the Stew- art's establishment on Ninth street and found the trio busily engaged In drinking beer and chatting with the inmates of the house. As Spencer en- tered the room the leader of the party shouted, ‘‘Hello, George, sit down and take a glass of beer and a cigar,” George declized the cflfer and imme- diately proceeded to inform the gang that 1c was the earncst wish of the mayor and chiet of police that they should leave city at once, and added, within parenthesis, that the walking was rather rough, but he thought they might manage to get outside of the oty limits in 5ve minutes, They heartily thanked the ofticers for what they termed his disinterested kind- nees, and pickiog up their hata left. George accompanied them to the de- pot, where they shook hands with him, and the leader eaid: *‘George, we are perfect gentlemen outside of cur racket, and you would find it ount if {un remained with us a few days.” t's possible that the men have not left town, therefore it may be well enough for business men to keep their heads clear when & stranger wants & $20 bill changed for a twenty-five cent purchase, Army Orders. Recruit John A, Alstein, enlisted at Fort Omaha, Neb., 1s assigned to the Fourth {ofantry. Capt. Charlés R, Barnett, assistant quartermaster U. S, A., is, by author- "|ity of the war department, assigned to temporary duty at the quartermas- ter's depot in this city, and will report to Oaptain John V. Furey, assistant qoartermaster, U, 8, A, Leaye of absence for twenty days Pactfic railway. Adams it appears is a member of the frm of Adams & Cuonningham, who are engsged in business out weat. the firm being authorizod by Mr Kyner to recolve and re:e'pt for goods for- warded to him and to pay the charges on the same. The complaint alleges that about the 10th of Septembor Adums came to pe Omaha and represented that the firm had paid $1.673 42 charges on grades received as above. Relying upon this statement, Mr, Kyner psid him the sum of $1,000, It is now charged ¢hat as & matter of fact Adsms and Canningham never paid any such ameunt, but in realily only paid about $478 42, Adams thus obtaining some $600 more than ho was entitled to, and having a credit left for over §600 more. Just how the fraud was discovered is not known, but the accased will probably have a chance to explain in the Omaha courts at no distant day. The oflicers were very roticont about the matter, and could aive no information, tho facts being only obtainable from outside parties. Tt is poesible that Mr, Adams will be given a chance to compremise the matter by paying back the money thus obtained under false protences. AN ICY I1EM, A Runaway on the Frezen Miesourl Yesterday Mr. Al Clark, one of the boarders at the Paxton, made a trip over to Council Bluffs in his cutter, and on his way back met with quite a thrilling adventure,.As he came to the river baunk on the Iowa side and started to drive down mpon the ice bcund surface of the g;lig Muddy the culter overturned and threw him out, The horse then started to run, teking a courso stralght down stream, and dragging the cutter after him, He tlew over the glassy eurface like o Ne- braska blizzard, and did not stop until he reached Boyd's packing house, nearly a mile from where he started. By that time there was not enough left of the cutter to kindle a a fire in & cooking etove in July, Mr. Clark was not hurt, sod strange to say, the injuries to the horse were but slight.

Judge of the Distriot Court, May 16th and CENERAL HOWARD. Department Commander Talks a Little on the Or- ganization of the Army, The His First HBxperience as & Soldier.) General Howard, the commander of the department of the Platte, called at Tue Bee office Wednesday. The general has a dignified and at the same time suave manner, which Is at once commanding and engaging. He called in relation to some matters which ap- peared in Tue Bre. Ono was a statement concerning a young girl alleged tojhave been forcibly taken by a man dressad In soldiors’clothes a few days since from Cheyenno to Fort D, A. Rassoll, She waa not harmed, bat returned to Cheyenne, the man evidently having taken the wrong girl. The general sald that he had written to the commander at Fort D, A. Russell, and wonld try to have the mystery attached to the case solved a8 800n a8 possible, He also caeunlly referred to an edi- torialin Wednesday’s Bik on theeub- ject of army legislation, and the reor- ganization of certatn portions of the army, In his oplnion an erroneous idea seemed to prevail throughout the country concernicg military matters, It seemed to be thought that the effi- clency of the service and its useful- ness could as well be malntained with fewer department officers and attaches as with the larger force now used, In times of peace, like the present, he said, poesibly the work could be given into fewer hands and that they might be able to do it. However, as in the case of paymasters, a responsible head was reqoired to the department, and these persons especially bore duties of more than ordinary magnitade, “Why,” sald he, ‘“‘you might as well abolish the paymasters and let the clerks run the offices.” “‘People,” he continued, ‘‘should realize that the present army is buc the nuocleus of what it would be in case of a war, Then the number of department officers would not be deemed mora than necessary nor even perhaps sufficient to do the vast amount of extra work which would fall upon them,"” In referring to thealleged junketing tours, all the general eaid was that ho never traveled unless it was necessary for the good of the department, He had recently roturned from a very hard trip to eome forts under his com- mand and might have to mako an- other one after a while, but this was an imperative duty and he mo re- garded it. Fort Hall in Idahe and Fort Cam- eron in Utah had been abandoned as they were practically of no further use. The troops would be dietributed among the cther posts, Some had already been sent to Fort Douglas and more would bo sent. It was probable that Fort Douglas and Russell at Cheyenne would be enlarged 8o as to make them availabio as ten company ata, Fort Niobara is an important post, and its capacity should be doubled. In roforring to Fort Omaha near this city, the general said ahat eight com- panies would absorb the capacity of the garrison grounds, If it should be desired by the government to further enlargo it to a ten companies’ poat, ad- ditionel land would have to be pur- chased, The headquarters question was one which doubtless would be brought before the attention of con- greas soon, The geveral said that he had abeut 2,000 available men in his departmont av the present time. In cage of an Indian outbreak he could easily maes his troops for protection aud service from Forts Dongles, Russell and the others, calling upon the division of the Missouri for additional troops if necessary In talking of the Indians and the causes tending to their periodical out- breaks, the general 2aid that his first experlence in warfare had been in the Semincle Indian war in Florida along in the ‘“‘forties.” In that struggle, which finally led to the removal of the tribe to the Indian territory, the United States army was composed of & wild and harum.scarum body of men, picked up on the borders. In most gan they had been well commanded, vt depredations and cruelties were practiced on the Indians, notwith. standing the efforta of tha officers, Tested by Time- Throat Diseases, Colds and Coughs, Brows's Broncian TRockEs have proved ther efficacy Ly a test of many years, Price 25 cents, e ——p—— STRICTLY BUSINE:S. Entertainment at Opera House. A Fine Boyd's Chas. E, Bishop, the famous come- dlan, appeared at Boyd's opera house last evening, with a fine support in Archibald C. Gunter's melo-dramalic comedy, entitled Strictly Businese, Uafortunately there was a very small house to witness what was in reality one of the most entertain- ing entortainments of the season and this was a matter of regret not less on account of the excellent company than for the public who thus missed s most charming ovening, The play is much after the style of “Fun on the Bristol” and that olass ¢f pieces, of late so popular with the public, METROPOLITAN HOTEL, OMA.

Firat Day’s Doings Inthe Third House, As provided in the great unwritten law of Nebraeka, and in accordance with the custom of former years, the third branch of the legislative system of Nebraska convened last night in representative hall. The galleries were crowded full to the wall, and a surging crowd pressed upon the rail- ing of the lobby, anxious to catch the pearls of thought that fell from the lips of the silver-tongued orators of the house. The third house is indeed a representative body, and it is a sub jeot of general remark that the pres- ent is the brainfest third house that has met this year. The houss organized by electing Msjor Hastings speaker, A convention was then appointed to wait on the equatter governor and chief jastice, They revurned aftera brief absence, escorting Governor Pearman and Chief Justice Pa: O. Hawes, The inaugural was a very imposing affair, On the floor of the house were many distinguished Ne braska statesmen who had served in the third house before with great credit. On the right of the speaker sat several of the state cflicers, and, acattercd through the gallery were no less than seven hired girls. Profes- sors and regents of the university stood in the lobby, and occupying a prominent position in a window on the south side was a man with a wood- en leg. Amid esurroundings such a8 these it is not to be wendered at thgt when a chief justice, who adds to thxj adiclal title that of ex-contingent congressman, asked the governor to place his hand on the history and be sworn, an awe stricken silence settled down upon the assembly, so dense that the sergeant at arma was directed to break it up and remove it before the ceremonies could proceed. After the oath was administered the gov ernor delivered his message which was a masterly state paper and was fre- quently interrupted by tumultuous applause. Severa! resolutions were paseed and 169 bills were introduced. The most important of these was an act provid- ing for the establishment of a houss for superanuated politians, to be lo- cated in the state of Nebraska, It was referced to the committee on supsran- uated politicians, which committee consicts of Church Howe, M. Tur- ner, John I, Redick and J. Sterling Morton, The committeo on rales reported but oze rule. This was about two feet long and was made of cottonwood, A motion was made to adopt, and nobody voting 1n the sffirmativeit was declared adopted. Previous to the adjournment Gov- ernor Pearman thanked the audience, on behalf of the management for their presence and attention, and assured them that at the next performance the speaker would wear his good clothee- an entire change of programwme. The third house then adjourned un til Friday evening, at;which time a United States senator will be elected. —8tate Journal, - PERSONAL. Geo. C. Newman, of Lincoln, is in town.

S——— DREADFUL DISASTERS. A Cluster of Oatastrophes in the Iron World, A Wabash Train Derailed and Burned Up. The Rumor That Thirty Persons Perighed in the Flames, The Rock Island, Umahs & St. Paul and Missouri Pacific Acoidents. A New Eastern Trunk Line for Omaha. A rumor reached this city yesterday afternoon of a terrible disaster on the Wabash, near Moberly Junction, Mo. It was at first reported thata tran had been ditched and burned up with | === thirty of its passengers, A paesenger on the Mieeouri Pacific train which arrived at midnight, brought the only reliable information. He wstated that the accident ccourrad to the Chicago train which was due at Kansas Oity ac 8 a, m. yester. day on the Wabash. This train, including baggage and mail cars, day coaches and chair car, was thrown from the track and at once caught fire from the stoves. The whole train was desiroyed by fire, ac- cording to the acsount given by the gentleman who came in on the Mis- sourl Pacific, and the lots in property alone will foot up $100,000. The ru- mor that thirty people were burned was reduced to twenty, and our in- formant says that none wero burned to death but that eizht or ten were seriously injured. The cfficials of the road were very reticent about the matter, and the only way it became public was by the conductor eending a alspatch to his wife that he was safe, etc. At a late hour this morning the following dispatch was received which would indicate that the accident was not =o serious, but the information given above is from the most reliable soarce: Kaxsas Ciry, Mo,, January 11,— The Wabash Cannon Ball train, due here at 9 a. m., was derailed by the spreadiog of the track near Miami Junction, about seventy miles trom here. Tho sleeper, two cosches aud the baggage cars rolled down the em- bankment, and the slesper caught fite and burned. Scrangely, no ore wss killed, and the ivjurics generally are slight. Oune or two are suffering from broken limbe, THE ROCK ISLAND train due here iast :ughs met with a peculiar accident at Eirlham sta i, The train was drawn by two engines, and as it approached Eartbam the leading locomotive jumped the frog on the switch, and leaving the main track wentup the siding. I'sltenderstuck to the main trak and so did the sec- ond engine, und the inade rail was ripped out for a considerable dis- tance. Finaliy the coupling hroke and the tender was released, The engine shot ahead ond the tender was whirled around leaving the train feee, when it forged akead without acei- dent. Oaly a half hour's delay was exporienced. It was fortunate that the acoident was no worse, as the east bound train was lying thero to meet the other and it was only by good luck that it eacaped a colliaion, A CLCSE CALL, A passenger on the incoming traln on the Omaha & St, night states that near the sum- mit, about ten miles north of this city, the brake beam of the ccach fell down on the track and threw the rear truck off the track It was a mixed train, a number of {reight cara being ahead and tho mail car behind the coach. Nothing held it to the track but the coupling, and the coach was dragged for a consid- erable distance in this shape before the train could be stopped, crossing one piece of trestle work thirty feet high. Quar iuformant stood on the platform ready to jump, if neceseary. It was a narrow oscupe and no one realized how serious matters were until all was over. The ends of the tles were cui off clean for a distance of one hundred yards, STEAM VS SNOW, The Missourt Pacific is sofferlng somewhat from enow which in many places between Omaha and Atchison is havked up eight and ten feet deep. Yesterday an engine set to work to| huck the drifts between Louisville and Springfield was emashed 1n the oper- ation, the snow proviog too much for it.
