TflfiOMAHA DAILY BEE, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 27, 1886. A POCKET FULL OF WEALTH. Luther Drake Tells How Haiman Lowy First Came to His Notice, HE WAS WOOLWORTH'S FRIEND. | Progress of the Smith Stock Trial-A Fatal Ride Into Salt Oreek—Judge Mitchell's Death—Social Notes of the Capital, IPROM THE NER'S L) LN BUREAU.| The hands on the big clock in the United States court room pointed to the hour of 10 yesterday morning when Luther Drake, assistant cashier of tho Merchants National bank of Omaha, was called to the witness chair by the defens in the Cole va Miller case. Mr. Drake related at length his first meeting with Haiman Lowy, the alleged purchaser of the Smith stock, and the financial trans- actions which followed. Mr. Lowy, he said, came to the bank on Saturday, June 27, 1895, being introduced by Mr.” Wool- worth., Lowy had a letter of credit on the Mer for $20,000, for which he wanted currency in bills of §100 and upwards. Witness enquired whether Lowy wanted to make a logal tendor with the money, and receiving an affirmative reply told him he had better take gold, saying at the same time that it would be diflicult to gather $20,000 in large bills on such short notice. Lowy insisted on having the currency, and Drake sent the bank messe to other institutions with specie to make the ne essary exchange. When the man turned Drake did the 0,000 up in a package and handed it to Lowy, who, tapping the inside pocket of his coat, said, “I have $10,000 more in here.”” The handling of such a large sum in cash naturally aroused the witness’ curiosity, but as it was a legitimate business t action he did not at the time mal extended inquir Tne next night, which was Sunday, he heard that Smith had sold out to Lowy and left town. As Smith was owing the bank $15,000 he felt some interest in his movements, and at once called on Lowy at the Pax- ton to learn the . Lowy told him that the report wastrue. He bought the stock, he said, the day before, and in- tended (o take possession Monday morn- ing. This ended the mater part of Mr. Drake's testimony, and owwis handed over to the plaintiff ’s counsel for cross-examination. Everything went on smoothly until Mr. Thurston inquired: “Yousay you treated Mr. Lowy with marked attention when he called on you. Why did you do so?" “Because he was introduced by Mr. Woolworth, and until after that transac- tion I had always thought gentlemen in- troduced by Mr. Woolwotth entitled to special consideration. "’ This sharp retort broughta blush to the face of the handsome chancellor, and there was a gencral *‘titter”’ through the court room as his associate said blandly, “Lguess that’s all,” and dropped the witness, The session was passed in proving by John C. Cowie, William P. Wileox and James Brown the value of the stock at the time Lowy took possession, the estimates of the witnesses ranging from $105,000 to b t the afternoon session the defense in- troduced J. Decker of New York, who related a conversation he had with Lowy in the Paxton hotel at Omaha the Tues- day after the sale. At that time Lowy suid that on the evening of the 26th of Junc he had about decided not to buy the stock, when Cole, his son-in-law, came to him and said, “Papa, its the chance of a life time; it means a fortune for us boys; be sure and buy it.” The next morning Lowy said he went to his piforney’s office and aons d 1110 pApers nainder of the mornin, inmated the purchase. ) were signed then with the understanding that Smith should_be left in possession until midnight, Just before 12 . m.,, Lowy paid Smith the cash and took charge. ~ Referring to the worth of the stock, Lowy told Decker that Smith put it at $100,000, but that he (Lowy) didn’t think it would bring more than = $75,000. Lowy at the same time acknowledged that'he had paid but $10,000. Decker then asked Lowyif it did not arouse his guspicions wheén he found Smith anxious to _ sell $75,000 stock for $40,000 in secret. Lowy replied that it was none of his business. He was there to buy the goods as cheaply as he could, Lowy further said that ho had not made any inquiries about Smith's circumstances, bec: had been advised by his attorne Smith told him he didn’t owe anything it was all that was necessary. When he paid Smith the $10,000 at midmight on June 29 he made the inqury, and Smith said he had only one or two little bills outstanding. Decker will be cross-examined this morming, A FATAL RIDE.

CONCERNING ORANGES. Why the Golden Fruit is Scarce in 'Frisco Marts—Other Facts. “I would like to ship a few of these to San Francisco,” remarked a gentleman, as ho gazed laughingly at a dozen or more crates of California oranges, in front of a commission house. “That would no doubt seem to you like “carrying coals to New Castle,” to use a rather trite ex- pression, but the truth is, in my city of San Francisco it is difficult to get a box of fine oranges for less than three or four dollars and I sce your Omaha mer- chants are selling fine oranges as low as $2.50 and $2.75 per box. It is the old story of the merchants wife plecing out the year with one gown and the shoe- maker’s children going bare foot; though living in the finest fruit state In the country we have to eat all the poor fruit such asyou people would not touch. Why isitso? Simply because southern California orange growers are giving all their attention to the easern trade and are shipping all their choice fruits.

Among them was a well- known society young man of this city, who was deeply smitten with Iher charms. After her departure inst night the young man confiden tially nformed some friends that he had pro- yosed to the young lady just before she eft and had been rojected.

O [BY THEODORE BARTLETT.] Kitty had been to the charity ball, and the charity ball was very fashionable; there was no doubt about that had eaten a late supper, returned home, gone to bed and to sleep; there was no more doubt as to that. She recollected distinctly throwing one shoo under the bed and’ the other into a corner, saying “Good night” to lier own figure in the looking glass, twisting the figure of a butterfly tiil her fingers ached before she discovered t it was not the gas-stop- per, and then langhing sleepily atall her mistakes, She even remembered the first dres thing about charity diamonds, chicken d lancers and ice eream waltzes, Noj there was no doubt that she had gone through all this; yet there she w staring in at the window of the grea 1 room, and the ball was but just commencing. Could she have gone to sleep on the window-sill in some myster ious manner? and standing in th holdt ing on to her 0; she v outside, v, with somebody and! ' thought Kitty, mournfully, have drunk some wine somehow THow strange it is! 1 wonder how I came here! But what a cold hand holds mine it's not pay for it makes me shives He must be horrid. 1 won't look at him. Sor There did not scem to be much need of the resolve, however, for the person who held her hand did not move nor seem to care whether she saw him or not, but quietly looked in_with her. So, at last, like most givls, Kitty's curiosity get the better of her, and she cautiously glanced out of the corners of her eyes, Beside her she saw_an old man. His beard and hair were long and white, and dropped about his neek and shouldera ike falling snow. Upon his head w lightly placed a erown, of of frostwork, s0 delicate was its texture. Robes, lon and dark, and cold to look at, fell in broad folds from his shoulders, and we is waist by a girdle of twinkling zing in at the brilliant o with 1, melancholy look upon his face. Kitty looked at his robes. “‘How old-fashioned," thought, “and figed, very aged.” “Yeos, " murmured the'old man, very old.” Kitty started. He read her thoughts, cvidently. She was sorry now she had thought'it, he looked so sad. “Who are you?" asked Kitty, limldla’. tand why have you brought me here?" “I am’ the Cold Night,” said the old man, slowly tur eyes toward her. ' His ey and piercing, vet full of Kindne And have brought you here that you might sec how great your 1-|mri|y is, for I heard this Was a charity bail.” “Yes,” said Kitty, nervously. “Tam a friend of the poor,” continued the Cold Night, “and I love to sce charity.”” He looked into the ball-room as he spoke. “Yéu sec all you friends here?" “Yoa said Kitty, guzing inside with something of a bright look. “There’s Florry Hall vight before the window now.” She has those beautiful solitaire diamonds in her ears. Oh, dear, how right they look.
