One of our oldest settlers (dating as far back as '58) appeared on the strect yesterday morning with fite in his eye. After the usual salutation of, ‘‘Hello, Dick Carpenter, what's the matter now?” we wore told that some raswal had made an early call at his bamn and carried off two fine calves, aged e'ght or ten wosks. A wag'n had been heard pass his residence at 3:30 8, m, batnothing wasthought of the incident un- til the thoroughbred calves were missed. He then started in pursnit and track-d the wigon almost to Omahs, where the multiplici'y of trails wade {t difficult to foll)w. A goneral gearch was made, but without turning up any lmportant clue but the authorics have every hops of teaclng up the matter. Mr, Carpentor is not alone in his trouble. Ouly a short time ises, Widow Spenc r lost three fat hogs. Thy _ dissppesred mo:t mystoriously. . Her nuighbor, Pon- chan had ® nice young ealf sprited way.

A reporter in conversation with As- s's'ant Superintendent Hunt of the wate works, learned yesterday that at no time since the water works were started has such trouble been exporlenced in the di- rection offfrozen pipes ss during the past wntoe season, Of course the maln pipes have been but litile damuged by freezing, a8 they are laid well under the surfrca, But the connec ing pipes which run fcom the maine, have heon fn many ius'ances damaged severcly by frost. This has been esp cially the caso on Harney and Howard strests, where in “orowning” the et-ee's the soil on the pipes near the gutter has boen graded down 80 88 to leave them more exposed than any other portion It fs found fur- thermore that on thoss streets where the pipes have been laid after the grading was done, that thera has been little or no r|last Dicembor, LEGAL LORE. News Tteme, In the district court yestorday, Judge Wakeley charged the jury In tho cass of Stepbeneon va Corrigan, and that body retired for deliberstion, Thay were un ablo to agres avd wero discharged. Tae suit, it may be remembered, Is cne brought by Stephenson t) recover the a horse, which was killed by fast driving, by a yoeng man for wlom, itis slleged, Ourrigan had guarantecd the safe return of the animal. Inthe case of Lucas va Rypinski, court trfa', & jadgment of §15 for de- fendant was entered by Judge Wakeley Beicrg Jadge Neville, after G pliad gutlty to murder in ths s:cond de. gree, F. A" Garduer was srraigned on n charge of larceny. He plead gailty to the charze of petty larceny, and his cess was teavaferred t the police court, when he wes sentenced t) tmprisonment in the unty jail for twenty days. His in- dle partner, Charles O'Connor, was found t> be mitsiz, and the judgs de- clared his bond of §800 to be forfeited.

Mipier and Lee M nier 5 26 dus on an aceount, In the police court Charles Kirk was arraigned on a charze of vagrancy, and after a telal of two hours was convicted, He will commune with Jco Miller for a period of sixty days. KATHER BRUTAL, Betore Judge MoCulloch, in the county court, yesterdsy, Mrs Clark, widow of Elam G. Clark, who died at Waterloo in 1883, appeared, with her attorney, to protest againet the accounts rendered by the administrators of thaestate. Duriug the course of the trisl W. J. Conuell, who represznted the opposi‘e side, began questioning one of the Clark boya with value trouble arising from a ‘‘frecze-up” even duriog the ¢ ldes! weather, It is quite probable, indeed, that all thess connect— ing pipes which have been affectsd by grading will have to be lowered, to secare porfect immanity from the danger of cold. The gas company also report that they have suffered to an unusual extent from \heeold weatherof thoseacon. The wintry winds, soting upon the exposed pipes, induce a certaiu congelation of the gas which totally desiroys Ita illumiating qualities. The main piping, however, has been but lit:le effected. 1t i3 found that the greatest danger feom a *“froczing up” is not at the time of the mo-t in‘cage cold, butimmediately after, when the thaw hss commeuced. The fact has not yet been explained in a manner entirely satisfastorily. It is be- lieved, however, that when a thaw takes place above groand, the frost below the il is driven doeper downwards, re-act- ing directly upon the water or gas-pipes. Ouly sficr the thaw above grownd has completed its work, is the sub-surface woll o thoroughly ‘*rotted” as to be driven oat of the soil. Why are Conduct rs Dishonest? Omana, Nes, February 23, '85.

They can’t get houses in Omaha for lees than $15 t> 820 per menvh, and an ordinary family will use a ton Of coal per month. The grocer will send in & bill of §25 at ths end of the month, then comes the meat bill ¢f §6 or more, then paying for meals on the road. This amounts to $12 or $15 per month, and lazt, but not least, the company comes on the knight of the rail for freight claims ond damages which the conductor must pay or quit, just to suit himself, This means another slics of his pay. 1 by chanco he pulls out a draw head, then in reforenco to the expense conneoted with the funeral of his father.

Mr. Connell finally becawe incensed, and broke out with *‘How d you know thers was a_funeral at all} How do you know but that your father was put in o rough deal box and thrown intoa hole? How——."” At this p int Mrs. Clark, who had been visibly affcted the Local Tribuna!s-Minor of that state, wae insugurated at a meeting heid here to-day.

To illus- trate this bettir A few weeks ago a conductor on diviston A, at Clarks, had a big train and pulling ofY a siding gpulled out ® draw head.

A NEW SIGNAL STATION, Nebraska to Have An Additional Signal Ofice-The Midnight Buletln, The local eignal authorities have been notlfied by the home office at Washing- ton that a new signal statlon is tobe opened very shortly at Valentne, Ne- braska. The post, which is intended to cover a section of the state beret-f.re wholly unprovided for, will bs fully equipped with instruments of observation and recording. The etation will aleo transmit falland regular reports, though it is not probable that a fall bulletin ser- vice with other stations 1ll be estab lished at firt, or in other words, that the dally report, trom the other signal «flices will be received and posted,as ia Omaha, Tre signal people at Washington are beginning to appreciate the importance of Nebraska as & field of meteorological observaticn.
