Has Gobbled Up the U, P. the Tteport Some Oredence Given From the Fact of the Q's Invest- ing Largely in Union Pacific Shares. C. B. Globo, May 27, 1t was rumored on the streets of this city this morning that the great Burling ton ronte had gobbled, or was about to take under its protecting wing, the Union Pacific road. An investigation of the rumor by a Globe reporter, who tackled several officials, resulted in the usual way “We know nothing about in such cases it here.” One official, however, said that ‘‘m a recent conversation with one of our prominent C. B, & Q. officials ho said that it would be cheaper to buy the U P, ontire than to build the various western extonsions and branches contemplated by the Burlington, and also the local mag- nate said that thero might be more in tho report than merely a May breezo, because the C. B. & Q. has of late been investing largely in U. P. stock, and it weould not be probable that it would do this if it did not desire to control the road sooner or later, The recent strike on the U, P, affected its stocks considerably, which was taken advantago of by the watchful Burlington. 1f the Burlington does secure the U. 1 the roads in the western association will have to dance to a lively racket, and it will probably result in tho early dissolu- tion of the pooling arrangoments. A BAD BILL. He Tries To Break His Cell-Mate, Comanche Bill, who was locked up in the city jail on the charge of assaulting some women, evidently fears that there will be something more serious for him to face, and may not be far out of the way, as he has not the best of records, al though it has been difficult to get proof against him. He concluded he would try and es- cape, and getting the broken half of a stove cover he used it in trying to dig through tha wall. After removing some of the mortar, he evidently concluded the wall to be too thick and 80 he crawl- ed up on top of the iron cells, botween the top and the flooring and there lay hidden. Davy Mottaz on opening the door and not seeing Camanche Bill any- where in the corridor, felt his nerves twinging and secing the attompt made to dig through the wall concluded that Bill had flown, Mottaz looked about, however, and finally found him thus secreted. He was made to come down trom his roost, and was locked up in thesteel cell with anoth- or prisoner. When supper was served none was given Bill, the jailor conclud- ing if he could not make him pray he could make him fast in a double sense. Supper was served, however, to Bill's cell-mate. As soon as the jailor had gone out Bill said to the fellow, ‘‘You dirty — — you haven’t been here long enough to eat. I'll eat your supper for you and if you squeal I'll knock the Whole top of your — — head off.” When the jailer chanced to open the door there he saw Bill getting away with the meal in good shape, while his fellow prisoner was crowded timidly in ona corner. Bill was then given the cell all to himeelf, and the rest of the supper taken away from him. It seems to have been his intention to have kept hidden on top of the cells, and to have there at- tempted to broak throngh the floor above, and thus make good his escape.

R. Lloyd, known as *‘‘Camanche Bill,” was fned $9 yesterday for as- ssulting a colored woman. He was al- lowed to go out and hunt up the money to pay the fine, but the friend of whom he expected to borrow had gone to Oma- ha and the judge told him to hurry aver there and not come back unless he had the money. He flew, {the regulation amount, 3 W. Fackler, arrested for being wes found to be a vietim of asthma; and hnd num‘rw\ 80 with il, that he had not slept for two or three nights, and he therefore took some morphineand whisky, after which he dropped into a chair and fell asloep. The judge took pity on him, and let him go. 0. E. Salberg was arrested for sloop ingin Ross' coopor ahop, ho Hikeing f business to be there. Oscar Stewart, a plain drunk, assessed 87 60, Mr. Holman ditto. Three tramps were run in yestorday afternoon. This arresting of tramps is a wood deal of a farce. They aro pulled in, given a night's lodging and somo square meals, and then turned loose again. The stone-pile is deserted, and there seoms no disposition to punish thess fellows, or thom do an honest day's was even make work. C— DISTRIOT COURT.

Chicago Herald, A cowboy from the North Fork of the River Platfe got as far as the Union Stock yards the other day on a visit to Chicago, As things scemed rather homo- liko in that quarter he tarried there for several hours, imbibing freely and talk- ing with unrestrained hilarity. Some of the natives gathered around and took part in the conversation, und after awhle when the fighting began, he declured, as he occasionally stopped to got breath, that he hadn’t had 8o much fun since he loft home, “Oh, that's elegant,” he would say as some big pork packer would bowl him one against the eide of the head. **That was a beauty. What do you think of that? Well, now, I'm glad to make the acquaintance of you boys. You do me good, Pile on me, why don’t youl Take that, you long tenderfoot. Come at me. Whoop! but that was a good one. Who was that gentloman who hit me under the ear! No shooting ahawked | Poter Jensen, a plain drunk, was fined | said: irons, now. Just plain fun. There, I've laid two of you out, I guess, Como on, some more of you, You ain't yetting winded, are you! Hit me once, hard, There, that feels good, How do you like that, e{uu mud masher? I've a good notion to hit you hard once, This re- minds me of a time I had last winter on the Niobrara, when the boys—" Just then a policeman, who had been advised of the riot, crept in at the back door, and, coming up behind the cowboy softly, ke dealt him a blow on the skull that sounded like a riflo shot. The gen- tleman from the North Fork dropped like a log, and, after lying insensible for & moment, got up, looked around wildly felt of his head, and observed: “‘That's the first time 1 was ever toma- hawked. Blessed if 1 knew you had Injuns down here. How many was killed? Where's the troops?” e The Sense of Touch, 's Sun, They were in the grocery store. Said Brown (seeing a blind man about to en- ter): “*Were you awaro how delicate the touch of a blind wan is? When nature deprives usof one sense she makes amends by bringing the othor senses to extraordi- nary acutoness, Let me illustrate by this gentleman, Tl take a scoop of sugar and let him feel of it, and you soe how quickly he'll tell what it is.” The blind man having entered, he was put to the teat. He put his thumb and tinger into the scoop, and without hesitation “That is sand.” Everybody laughed but the grocer, He made three ¥ several attempts at blushing, and then »’wnt inte the back shop and kicked his dog ;[ continuo highly unfavorable 28, 1884, 7 — ] CALIFORNIA CANNERIES, A Small Oateh of Salr Yield of n and Large it San Francisco Ch Tho fruit canners are sanguine about the fruit erop and olaim that the partial failure of some varietiea in certain dis tricts will not affect the aggregate yiold. They also claim to be in porsession of in formation showing that this yeatr's crop will be increased enormously by new trees It that this increase includes in estimated 100,000 new wunty, chiefly apricots, | po d apples with an immenso acroage in vines; 90 000 troes and 100,000 vines in Butt D00 troes and 10,000 vines in Colusa; 150,000 troos and 2,000,000 vines in Contra Costa, 220,000 trees and 4,000 acres vines in Lake; 500,000 trees and 5,000,000 vines Los Angoles; 1,000 acres of Marin; 80,000 trees and 80,000 vines in Merced; 1,000 trees Monterey, H00 weres of troes in Napa, 50,000 trees and 400 acres of vines in Placer, 756,000 trees and 100,000 vines in San Luis Obispo, 18,000 trees aad 5000 coming into bearing, trees in Alamoda ponches, prune in vines | H0acres of vines in Tularo county. Iho reports and estimates conaerning San Bernardino, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Shasta, Siskiyou, Solano, Sanoma and other countios are less definite, but all stato that there is a large increase in the number of bearing trees and vines. 1t is these reports which are said to be rosponsiblo for the appatent lack of in terest which the canners are taking in the fruit market. So far thore has been no attempt to reorganizo the Packers Kx- chango on the basis of a close corpora- tion, similar to that which it was during the first year of its existence.

So far tho season's eatch is said to be 40,000 cases short on the Columbia. The fish sell from G0 to 70 conts, On the Sacramonto river the eatch 80 far is 20,000 cases behind that of last season, Here the price of fish is H0 cents each, Portland is about to try the shipment of fresh salmon to Eastern mar- kets on a largo acale, with the aid of ro- frigerator cars, tho shipments by express having been successful in every way ex- copt tho financial, Bight crr3 have beon spozially constructed for this purposo. The first ear-load was senta fow days ago. 'The fish are packed into boxes, in winglo layers, between broken ico. boxes to the carload. A messengor ac- companies the car and rofills the boxes with ice as it melts. Thoe cars are at tached to the rogular passenger _trains and are expocted to roach New York in nine days, over the Northern Pacific. —— A Maelstrom of Birds. From the l’hUm\oIphL\ Pross, “Run wife! Go below, or they'll driven to pieces!” The keeper of the Atlantic City light- house was watching the hydraulic floating lantern from the top of the tall tower last night, and he just brushed a spock from one of the prism glass sashes through which the intense rays from the great fixed light that warned off all float- ing ocean life from destruction wore streaming, when, turning his head in answer to a strange flapping and whirring noire, he uttered the exclamation. “‘What shall I do?" asked the plucky littlo woman, who is in tho habit of keep- ing him company during tho oarly part of be for the net! Drive them off’! Tako my overcont with you and savo all you can.” Jn the almost white-heat glow of the lamp, outside of whose rays everything was impenetrable blackness, a spectacle was presented uncqualled in any of Dore's grotesque imaginings. Through the ligl#, like motes and thicker than moquitos, hundreds of dazedand frenzied birds, of various sizes, were circling and gyrating, performing a mad aerial danco around and around the lantern, Mrs. Wolf camo in dm-nlly “I can do nothing with them,” she said; “‘thero are thousands and thousands of them." From out the bulging pockets of the overcoat birds began to fly, now dunhinu at the windows as if to get out again, and the three or four palpitating fe; mites she held in each hand boegan strug- aling to get froo, They wore of many hues, these southern travelers thus ar: rested and carried out of their northward migratory course, although in the fierce aplendor of the illumi ated are outside thoy had all appeared luminous and white. There were robins, flickers, mud- hons, and.a fow rail birds, and one poor little pee-wit, perching itaclf sociably on its rescuer’s shoulder, uttered its peculiar note. “Did you notico that scarlet tansiger in the house as you came up?' asked Abraham Wolf, the keeper, of his guest, the scribe. ““Well, that gorgeous fellow got here from the West Iudies somehow. I picked him up in the net one night dur- ing & heavy thunder storm. The net, you oo, is on the land side, where all the birds come, and keeps them from spattering their blood on the glass, But the wild ducks, they tear the net to shreds. Wo have had a few spring birds the last spring or two, but this is the first large flock. Our house during the summer is nearly always full of them, We leave them loose and lot them go where they want to. One night my wife and I took over 300 birds alive and let them go next morning. Ral birds, cat birds, wood thrush, missel thrush, thistle birds and all the soft billed fly-catchers are the most numerous, but we get al- most every sort and keep a record of their visits for the American Ornithological Society to help throw light on migration, 1 like to throw light on anything, you know-—it's in my 1 Historically Accurate, It is well known that Kosciusko fell; but very few people know what caused his fall, It happened in this way: It was gome years after the battle of Warsaw that Kosciusko and o party of friends were talking about old war timos, “Well, gentlemen,” remarked Kogci- usko as he ordered another round of beer, “'you can talk as much as you like but it was at Warsaw that we saw war.', Here one of the party hit him with a stone mug and Koscivsko fell, while un intimato friend of the Gieneral's by the name of Freedom shrieked, That's the whole business ina bomb. shell. in | vines in Stanislaus and 75,000 trees and | five canneries which up to the 8th of May, | There | are six or seven fish in each box and 100, i THI:.
