P, track in Sarpy county, four miles from Springfield aad one mile from ths Louisville bridge. The Spriagfield Monitor says the cave was accidently discovered by Joseph Driskell, who happened to be walking. along the railroad, and saw a man’s tracks leadiog up to the entranca which was cleverly hidden by belng filled with hay. He further dlscovered the cxistence of a stove plpe just coming to the top of the ground, snd covered with a chunk of dire. Further than this he did not ap- pear to be anxious to fuvestigate, but fm- partad his information to others, and 1t reached the ears of E G. Schaal, who in- formed Conetable Liddiard and these two, accompanied by J. R. Nicholson, proceeded to the seat of dis. covery and proceeded to in- vestigate, and ware rewarded for thelr trouble by the discovery of a cave. Romoving the hay that had bean skilfully prepared to conceal the en- trance, a emall passageway just large enough to admit of a man crawling throngh was revealed to them. Enterlng thesecret dopartments of this dungeon through the hole thus exposed, the in- torlor was found to be about e'ght feet £quare, and just high enough to admit of muting down comfortably, and not high enongh to maintain a standing pesltion. The furniture was found to consist of a hay bed and a cook etove. By whom or for what purpose such a vasort should be prepared 1s a mystery, except on the hypothes's that It was in- tended as a hiding place to be iahabited by desperadoes, and its fortunate dls- covery and breaking up may have the effect of preventing the consummation of some deep-lald plot and possibly the com- ission of crime most foul. ———— A New Uongregational Church., The Third Congregational church of Omaha was formally orzanzsd by a coun- cil convened for that purpose on Tuaesday last, in it spacious building on the corner of Ninetoenth and Sprace straets.

V. Allyn, foreman of the Brighton ranche company, commenced his usual sprirg campaign earlicr than common, by arreet {ng the settlers in hls pasture (#ho he has nearly starved out) on the charge of killing eattle. A few days after an article appeared in the Omaha Republicansigned by Benjamin Brisbane. This inccnsed Allyn and he hunted up Brisbsne armed to the teeth, his rifla In bis saddle, a gun strapped arouad him, and a buggy whip in his hand, and after calliog bim a fow hard names, told him that if he wrote sgain, he would wear that whip out on him. Now Brisbane was formerly one of Lord Red Head's pets. He has thrown a fence around him and pald bim thirty-five cents a bushel damage for his corn, whereas other settlers hail to take shy demages.

The Brighton Ranch company clatms to be a benefit frop: the fact that they buy a few thousand bushels of grain, It well known fact that any common stack feeders in the ewrtern part of the state will consume more grain than the Brighton Ranch company, Some of the settlers are actuslly suffer- ing.

How a Bunko Man Pulled the Wool Over an Old Soldier's Eycs at New Orlcans, An amusing story was told a BEr re- porter to-day by a Colorado gentleman just returning from New Orleans. *‘You know Captain Stanley, of course,” sald the gentleman, ‘‘everybody does who ever heard of cavalry exploits along the Rappahanncck or climbed the Sierra Madre mountains. The Captain s a govios In his way and prides himsalf np- on his ability to outwlt any sharper liv- ing, whether in & burro trade, salting a sllver mice, or ‘downing' a bunko imp. He went with a patty of us to the great exhibitlon in Louisiana lait December, and formirg a sort of Colorado coleny down there, we roamed about the Cres- cent Ci'y In equads of two or three, tak ing in the s'ghts. In our place out west there is a very prominent tanker named Galvin, one of those generous, popular fellows whom we so often find in the mining countries. Oae day in February last Stanley and 1 were walking along a stecet mnear the St. Charles hotel, when a nice looking gentleman overtook us and as he pased by, threw his gaze for an instant on Stanley, then quickly slapping him en the shoulder, eald, ‘Hello, cap! when did you get here? 1'm glad to find you, boy.” Stan ley paused tor & moment, and, seeing the nica gentleman, said, ‘Who the deuce are you? ‘Whoam 1! Why, Galvin, the Colorado banker; what's the matter with you ! little off, eh?" By Jove, Galvin, old man, since yon have gotten out of your overalls and put on that piccadilly collar and dadefisd hat I did not recog- nize you. Come, let's try some of these frog eaters’ spirlts; come, Perry, join us. We stepped into one of the nicest places you ever saw; walls covered with gor- geous plctures and a dozen lovely girls with great black eyes standiog behind the ber. Stanley whispered, ‘crecles, by jingo!" and ordered a bo'tle of wine. Galvin way psrticularly p'easant. A second and a third bottle were emptied, and Galvin proposed ope more to the boys we left snow-bound at home. This was pat awa) 0, when Galvln, with the princely liberality becomiag a Colorado banker, invited Stanley and my elf to a jewelry store, whers he proposed to pre- sent his old mounta'n friend with some. thiog for a keepsake, A handsome gift was selected for the captaln, and Galvin concluded to take somsthing slmilsr to presant to h's cashier on bis return, The bill amounted to about $300, for which Galvin offered his check on a New Or- leans bank, The jeweler hesitated, as he did not know banker Galyin, of Colo- rado, though he had no doubt, of course, the check was all right, ‘‘Here, Captain Stanley, have you bills for my check for $3000" said" Galy n, *‘Why, certainly, said Stenley, pulling a roll of wealth from bis pocket and counting out the cash: ‘*here you are.” The bill was paid, goods ofcely put up in scented boxes aud handed to the bauker from Colcrado, wbo invited the party fo walk acrcsy the street fora lunch snd a glass of wine, where the pretty creole barmalds were. Arrived there the wine was ordered with & becoming laoch, and Galvin excosed himself for moment tostap into another room, ‘ Have the cork drawn, boys, 'l ba back in a second,” ke {\d pleasantly, pushing chait, Ha went, and w ntinned to wait, v coald stand It no looger, *‘Parry, last ho cried, “am 1 eccoped? 1'il give you five hundrad not to tell this in Colo- rada " “*Galvin’ retorned s Finally Stanley took steps to procure lis arrest, having spotted him a few days afterward in the crowded street. The jawels were gone and 8o were the 8300, The banker 16 in jafl or on ball, bat woiss than all, by reason of the hold the bunko and lot- tery peopledowntherebave ipon the stow- gotng officlals, 1o trisl for some time can be had, and Stanley made the complaint agalnst the bogus banker is held by the authorities to glve teatimony against him. Ileft him at a corner, for- lorn and penitent. He hopes to get home in time for the fall eloction, when ho will canvass Doleres and Oursy coun- ties to eleot to the sheriff's office only those candldateswho wearro jewelry and never cash a banker's check.

Just look atit. The New Orleane, Ba ton Rouge & Vicksburg railroad com- pany obligated itse'f to finish the railread Under ths terms of was to have been finished by 1876. When that {ime rolled around mnot a rod of thoroad was built. The line was not even definitely located, but the company had fesued millions of bonds based upcn the lands granted to it. Five years more elapsed and the company took no step toward building the road. Still nota rod of line was coonstructed. Befcre that time, however, the New Orleans & Pacific 1allroad company was organizad. The company came before congress and ineisted that the grant of the New Or- leans, Baton Rouge and Vicksburg road shouid be forfe'ted and transferred to it. Congress was willing to make the for. feiture, but woald not asent t> the transfer; that 1, the public lands committee of the house was ucanimously in favor of such astlon. Then the New Orleans and Pa cific proclaimed that it would build its road without any land grant, and it did 2o on to build In order to make a connec- tlon with the Southern Pacific to the galf. Subeequently, however, the com- the grant it | pavy adopted the tactics which they at- tempted to consummate with the 'I'exas Pacltic, that is, they tried to force an as- signment of a dead grant, hoping to have it legalizad elther by the affirmative ac- tion of congrees or a refusal to forfelt the original land grant. The grant was transforred from the old corpocation to the new, but not until ths la:ter had ccn- structed a porticn of its road. The old road during ten -years had not even made a defivite loca- tion cf its line. In the Forty- elghth congress, just adjourned, ef- forts were made to perfect the grant. The house public 1ands committee report- ed in favcr of forfeiture, but legielatve trickery, inspired by a prominent demo- cratic politican, obtained from the judi- ciary committee of the house an oplulon if the forfeiture If dec'arec. would not be legal. The senate public lands commit- tee reported a bill forteiting a part of the grant, bat the short sessicn and press of business prevented action uponit. As the session wus drawing near an end, and fearlog an attempt to secure patents for the lands, a majority of the public lands committees of both houses joined In a protest to the secrafary of the interior against any such action, ~ This protest, or request, for that Is what it was, was not unreasonable, as the corporation had for tan years done nothing to earn the grant, and a few months delay in the intereet of the public domain, In the interest cf the people, was not unreasonable. Thia ces3 was that of the Southern and Texas Pacific over again. When the Southera and Texas Pacific were re:dy the former did all In its power to have the grant of the Texas Paclfic forfeited, but finally the Southern Paclfic got the grant trans. ferred toit, and then the corporation maintained that the geant wss vetoed. But Congress declared the Texis Pacific grant forfeited, and in truth there aro better and legal grounds for the forfelture oi the backbone prant, as that of the New Orlears, Baton Rouge & Paclfic 1s called, than for the Texas Pacific grant. 1t was a1t outrage to take the settlement of this question out of-the hards of congress. Olerks of the Interior departmeat were kept at work night and day, and even on Suudsy, for the purpose of getting their patents ready to Kuna before the late ad- minlatrat'on went out. If there Is any explanatlon that can be made for such a couree, I want to hesr it, I want the country to have it. The land had been kept from the market for fifteen years, and no hara cculd come from permitting it to remain so a while longer.
