THE OMAHA DAILY BEE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1836. Thelr Trip to Now Orleans—Smuggled . Prosents—The Great German Chorns—A Pleasant Anni- versary—Police News. What Might Be. It now appears that the gas company itends to disregard the lately passed city ordinance lowering the price of gas to 75, and will make out its bills next month at the r of §3 per 1,000 fect. ‘“Lhe company’s position is well defined in the expression of Mr. George Barker, the secretary, to a reporter. He said: “Yes, w aking out the bills at e old nd if we do not hear from hiladelphia before next week we shail esent the bills and collect where i, and if the people who have meters Mllu o pay their bills we shall take out the This is the only thing that i loft ..a as we believe the city law is © most unwarranted.” When the matter was tention of City Attorne ' * he laughed and said: ©1 - the gas ¢ )m{lm vill " of turning off the gas, | yefuse to submit to the old of §3 per thousand fect. ‘That policy would be & suicidal. 1Ind s sometimes make £ the mistake of cutting ofl’ a nose to spite rporations rar A 1led to the '1| Connell to-day ‘hardly think that pursue the policy use the peopl monopoly is alw - money, and you may dej; ny will think tw © ight.” - “What ll1'f1~l|~v- or retaliation would the city have if the gas company were to lhut down on the supply of gas “Why, the company would forfe | charter which clainis to have sccured | from the old gus i lose all the rights \\h We before it * cured from the ci | posscssion of the we could restrain their pipes or in any way interfering tham, A new gas company could gooi lltu mmuh into working order, snd hco pipes could be used—a ctually con- fiscated.

This evening the Thurston Hose team will leave for New Orleans to at- tend the national tournament which is to be held there the first two weeks of March. The team is composed of 22 men, all of whom are fi ers—possessing every qualitication of speed and dur- Among the number are some run- ners who have gained a national reputa- tion. All of the members of the team have been traming actively, and they are in good trim to capture some of the im- portant rizes of the tournament. Tho fol lowing gentlemen will accom- any the team to New Orleans: Council- en Fred Behm, Patri Ford, Ed Leeder and Charles L. Goodrich, and lon, Byrnn Clark, Ed Ainscow, John Roeder, Goodly Brucker, John Hoey, D. W. Lane, J. C. Pentzel, H. Kenned Frank Ps umnl\,u, J. J.

Two weeks will be consumed for the round trip and stay in New Orleans. The | | { team realized considerable money from their last mas- uerade ball, and Tuesday night e city council appropriated $300 toward paying the expenses of the trip. The cost | of the journey, however, will of necessity | bo very heavy, and in_order to make up the demmlumouul another masquerade ball was given at Turner hall last evening. PRESENTS. Michael Huse Ol s That They Were Confiscated—Police Pickings. The most interesting case in the police court yesterday s that of Michael Huse, who had been arrested for theft on the complaint of Michael Ripple. Neither plamtiff or defendant spoke English very well, and the servi interpreter had to be secur siderable wrestling with the verns of the fatherland, it was developed that ~ Ripple accused Huse, who had just come over from the old country, ot appropria- ~ ting to his own use a lot of cloth which * the mother of Ripple had entrusted in | his care, to be taken to her son in Amer- dea. Ripple says that he did not know anything about the theft until he had re- ceived a letter from his mother regarding the matter, and then he suspected that _something was wrong. When he came " to investigate he i " elaimed, that Huse eloth for his own b s Huse, on the other hand, 4 rmlzh his interp y th agreed to take the presents from other to son, but had been intercepte y tho custom oflicers, while passing. th rduuol his native country.

Judge Andres celebrated his 42nd birth and the 30th anniversary of his admission to the Turners, with a grand “‘commerz’ at Germania hall last night About seventy-five gentlemen were pres- ent and a jollier evening never passed. Mr. Louis Heimrod filled the office of president and from the head of the table ruled with the hand of a king. Tonsts to the exc judge, songs and humorous declam made up the evening. l’ulmpv(h:- best lhmé_ the whole evening was afforded by Prof. Kemple. The good professor started off with eloquent toast to the judge, which was drunk with a cheer. He then delivered a funny German D and closed by introdicing his t i camel, As he made nnouncement, the “ship of the desert” stalked in, made up of two men, with a broom for a nec amask for a head, ete. The rerformances of the camel took the house by storm and the hall rang for hour with shouts.and shricks of laughter. The party adjourned at a seasonable hour wishing Judge Andres countless returns of oceasion and a long life in the com- munity where he is known but to be respected. A COLD, DULL DAY. The Sudden Polar Wave— Specula- tions of Impeded Traflic. 1t was a cold and dull day. The north wind swept down like the wolf on the fold and set the policeman shivering with cold, and the pot plants left ont on the previous day, by morning were frozen and withered aw The youth who confided that summer had come and soaked all his wraps to increase income, goes knocking his knees through the ice-laden draft,while through his scant whiskers the frigid winds waft. This “‘ode to an unexpected cold day’’ mas modestly left on the front stoop of this office sometime during the early morning, between the hours when the night shift knocks off and the day men report. There was no one around and the sublime effort must go rattling down the ages uncredited. It was very appropriately designed for this day, how. ever, and probably tells the whole truth. 'I'hm'n' were few who basked in the spring fever temperature of yester noon who thought that by night the wind would b s toying with feicles on the thaw- ing eaves. and that by morning the me- cury would e contracted far down into the teens above 7010, One of the mnoticeable = features of the day was that the public scemed ible of its severity than during ays of intensely bitter weather in January, and although the mereus no time fell below 18° above, half the people on_the street would have given odds that it was a_dozen_points below. ‘This cold wave is general, and gives no sign of immediate ef. The black flag ons.aro for cold and clear weather. ollowing was the sunrise temperature at various points of interest, as reported to the sig- nal oftice: North Platte, Neb, Cheyenne, Wyo., 149 above, Denver, Col., 228 abov St. Paul, Minn., 40° above. l)us Moines. I ., 182 above, Kansas Cui/ Mu 25° abov Bismarck, D. T, 6° below. Helena, M. T.. 819 above. St. Vincent, Minn., 17° below. “Did you ever contrast the appearan- ces of the street on cold and pleasant days?’ asked an observing citizen of a reporter yesterday morning. The reporter had done so and acknowl- edged the fact. *‘Well,did you ever speculate on the why and wherefore of the apparent difference in business activity? Now, yesterday the streets were filled” with people rushing about despite the sloppy pavements, as though intent on matters of saving im- portance. Today you sce only those whom: the direst necessity forces out of doors and they dash along through the howling wind with no thought but to reach shelter. Do you ever wonder whether business in” genel to-day than it was yesterday, and = do you _ever think that people who “are driven into the house by a cold snap must have very unimport- ant missions in this world? I do, and all 1 put to the question me in the mire of doubt and un- certainty. s it possible that the progress of this great and thriving city is measur- ed from day to day by the weather? I wish you could draw out some thought- ful, astute individual to communicate his views on this important question.” high winds have some- ailway traflic to-day, no trains mtlwr from the east or west arriy- ing on time this morning. No snow is reported from any point except at Ch enne, where a \uv slight fall is reported. BALL RECEIPTS, Forty-six Hundred Dollars Realized —Resolutions of Thanks, The executive committe of the ¢ ball have completed the task of auditing accounts and the result redounds im- mensurably to the credit of the open- hearted people of Omaha. The receipts, above every item of expense, leave a net profit of $1,600, a sum exceeding that of last year nearly two- fold and discounting by $500 the amount e on the charity ball at Chicago 1 weeks ago. In comploting their Work tho cominiiteo passetl resolutions of thanks to several parties who gave their aid and co-operation g ensure the success of the enterprise Messrs.

A woman’s frightful screams drew a large and excited crowd in front of the union tea store on Douglas street, be- tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth, about o'clock last evening The sounds emanated from a room on the second floor of the building, and as shriek fol lowed sk excited people rushed up tie st the impression that a murder was being committed. Just at this moment Officer Bellamy put in an appearance and made a \mivn( demon- ation at the door, which resulted in its being opened by 'a woman. As the officcr rushed into the appartment he discovered a young woman in the arms of a man with her hands clasped about her head. She was strugghng and panting, but on seeing the policeman she quieted down.

A Base Ball Meeting to be Held in St* Joe—Omaha’s Position. Manage» George Kay, of the base ball park, received yesterday a telegram from St. Joseph, Mo, calling him to that city upon matters connected with the north- western league scheme. This important meeting is to be held to discuss the situa- tion, and in all probability it will be de-. cided whether the northwestern league plan shall be carried through or definite- andoned. Mr, Kay will cither send entative to St. Joe or will attend n however, denied and _accused her down_ with ill n\ul foning Officer Bel- .

A WIDE DIFFERENCE, How Contractors Figure on Grading --Murphy vs. the City, The case of Murphy et al vs Omaha occupied the attention of Judge Wakeley in the district court yesterday and will continue on trial this morning. The suit is brought by Thomas L. Murphy & Co. to recover $7,000 claimed to be due from the city on a contract made in 1883 for grading on certain streets. Murphy was e a stipulated price for removing the dirt, and extra compensation for hauling it over 500 feet to a fill.
