Vandalism in the Public Library— The Work of the Grand Jury— Driving Out All the Cyp ans—A Marriage. Vandalism in the Pablic Library. For some time back the periodicals of the Fnblic library have been placed upon the fables in the book-room floor for the use of the public. In numbers of cases the choicest have either been stolen or de- stroyed. Harper: Seribners, Frank Leslies and other leading magazines and weeklies have been taken from the room or defaced by the cutting out of choicest pictures and articles. The librarian and assistants have generally been too busy to detect the vandals, and the board has never app ted money to pay a person to d the thieves. f It has accordin, all these valuab) the bar, and re; read to make e ¢ been decided to keep publications within s par ing to personal avpplieation for them, at the same time giving his or her name and residence and the work de- sired. Printed blanks for this purpose have been procured and in a few days will be placed within the reach of read- ers The periodical will be inspected when rcturned, and if in any manner injured,must be paid for by the offending party. If one is not returned, it, or its equivalent, will be recovered after the manner usod in the case of other vrop- crtly of the ibrary. Tis system hns been in practice in Chicago since the library at that place ned, and has been found to be sxcellent cheek upon those who are aisposed to be dishonest. X ‘The bourd has also had prepared printed slips, which interested people may procure, by which they may suggest to the same the name of any work which riber may think 1t would ble to secure for the library. There are blanks for the nime of the party making the recom- mendation, his residence and the date, together with a place for the name of the work, author, publisher, place of publi- eation, number of volumes, and the cost, if known, of the work. This blank is prepared in defercnce to the wishes of the be i and will N reports the largeat num ber of books ever drawn from the lit in one month was duri last Ma when 8,082 were borrowe An invoice of books ued at §1,000 added to the librar while another, costing about 3,000 has been ordered and will be here soon. Many books of the latter are of foreign publica- tion and very valuable. While the percentage of fiction remains at about 78 per cent, the librarian notes that there has recently been a gratifyi increase in the demand for mechanical works which comes in the main from the employes in our various manufacturing institutions.

Twenty-Five Dollars of Them Disap- pear With a Bold, Swift- Running Thie! Last night at about 9 o'clock, Fred Wood, the bartender in Colone! Floyd's saloon, on Fifteenth street, opposite the opera house, waited upon§two customers. He then stood for a moment in the door- way, between the saloon and eard-room, watching the game being played in the latter. He turned to walk toward the front entrance, outside the bar, when he noticed a man with a stiff hat creeping stealthily behind the bar and go- ing toward the front door. Wood immediately ran to head him off| but the fellow shot out the Fifteenth street entrance, followed by the former. A chase took place up the alley towara Si nth street. The rob- ber darted the alley through a passage between the Chase building and the f torc on the corner of teenth street, toward Douglas stre Wood sought to him off' on Six. teenth and the latter thoroughtare, but by that time the fellow had disappeared. 1t was subscquently ascertained that he ran through the second store of Bush- man’s building, knocked down @ couple of triangular sign_boards and left for parts unknown.

The City Attorney's Dockets. A reporter of the Beg yesterday was shown the first dockct used by a ity at- torney for Omaha, It was opened in 1857, and remained in use until 1883, During that time it recorded the court work of Jity Attorneys Gilbert, Ambrose, Bart- lett, Doane, Thurston, Manderson, and Howe, and yet had pages to spare. In the latter year, Mr. Connell assumed the duties of the position, and opened **Docket B." The rush of cases soon necessitated “Docket C,” and these w suceessiv opened by the present city attorney. In cars the original docket the twenf was used srded 570 cases against th In the three years Mr. Connell has tilled his present position, 349 have been entered, of which but 143 ar now pending. The increase of cases ha been even in advance of that of the city. Where Riches are Disclosed, The Omaha and Grant Smelting com- pany are comtemplating additions to their present works which will involve an out- lay of $75,000. The principal of these will be an engine and machine house 70x 52 feet; a furnaco house 100x50, and three stories in height; a roasting furnace, -165x90; a stamping room , and a bofler room 50x50.

Hatton, residing on the flats near the water works, for a long time back have been accustomed to to the open unfenced property which there prevails, Lately the water works company undertook to enclose with a wire fenice some of the property o which the Hattons have crossed with punity. y demurred at the - fencing and empl d their hostility by de- liberately cutting it in many places. A. B. Hunt, in behalf of the company, had them ar ed on a warrant charging them with maliciously destroying per- sonal property.

To the Editor: 1 noticed in yest(‘rflny morning's issue of the Herald an article headed “‘Powderly a Demagogue,” pur- porting to have been the title which John 1. Blair, a railroad magnate from New Jersey, gave the grand master workman of the Knights of Labor. Everybody who knows Mr. Powderly, personally or by reputation, knows that Blair was de- ceived when he made thatstatement, and the paper containing the interview pol- luted its columns in publishing it. This great n nate claims, among other things, to have known Mr. Pow- derly when he worked in his (Blair's) anton tor $1.25 a .

For he has been tendered on more’ than one occasion the foremanship of one of the Jargest machine shops at §2,500 a year. now getting order, working almost iny out of the twenty-four hours of the day. He is classed by Blair as being an illiter- ate man, I will wager Mr. Blair that T, V. Powderly will dictate two letters and write one while he (Blair) is dictating and that Powderly’s will be the bet- ter literary production.

CHERUBS, They Give a Choice Insight Into the Beautiful Discoveries of the Chemist's Laborator, A very pleasant evening was spent yin Creighton College hall at a given by the members of the chemieal cirele of the institution. This circle consists of all students belonging to the scientific ¢ , one of them being accustomed to give a private lecture on some given subject, or rather take the place of the professor once in every two weeks, thus giving practice in preparing addresses, and also enabling them to more e a public exhibition of their lab) The introduc- tory addr « Michael Me- Griery, who deliyered oration in a manner which was elegant and pleasing, and which did him rreat credit, Jos. Me dle, assisted by Chas. Nemee, then gave hi his’subject being *'Chemical Aflinity.’ He explained by numerous experiments, that sugar contains charcoal, that a solid can be made from two gases amd that S weight, He also made severa beautiful as well as sucecssful experi- ments relating to the subject he had chosen. John Whalen, assisted by Charles Frenzer, them took the plat form for the purpese of explain- iuf the reaction - of chemicals, To proved, hy experiments that the well known soda water; has no soda at all in 1t, but is only a gas which, mixed with water and flavored is sold under the meaningless name of soda water. Dur- ing lhisfincluru, the magie lantern was brought into use, in:order to more thoroughly illustrate the experiments. The subject of crystalization was next taken up by John'B. Furay, jr. He gave a splendid illustration of the magnesium ]i[{}lt. which is even stronger than that of the electric light. The combining of tin 1n a solution, to copper wire, forming what is called the tin tree, was beautifully illustrated with the aid of the magic lan, tern and magn lyinF glass. A lead tree was likewise formed. ~ The assistant in this lecture was Edward Smith. The fourth and last lecture was given by Wm. P. Doran, assisted by Henry Ma- long. The young man chose for his subject “Group Reagents.”" He explained why silver, which is" in constant use, be- comes blackened, and also why men la- boring in white lead works become poi- soned. This lecture was accompanied by many successful experiments, which proved that the subject was well under- stood, Dillerent songs, which greatly pleased the large and attentive andience, wore given at intervals, by the Colloge Glee Club. On the whole the lecture was a great success, and should show to the Yt-oplo ot Omaha what well instructed boys can do. THE 1RISH LORD, A Scion of Ancient Nobility to be Shipped to Ireland. Pat Murphy is the name of a young man well known in poiice circles as the *“Irish Lord.”” He was arrested yesterday in an intoxicated condition and locked up for safe keeping. Murphy comes from a long line of an- cestors, and it is said has noble relations still living in theold country. He came to America several years ago to embark in business, but his love for whiskey has dragged him down so that he is little better, at present, a sot. He has repeatedly been arre for drunkenness, and has many times been discharged upon signing the pledge. But though he has repeatedly tried to habit he has never succeeded, and after a_ short season of abstinence would plunge anew into his .

SHEKING L i CONVERTS, The Revival Services at the Christian Church. The storm Wednesday prevented many regular attendants from attending the services, but those who were present were treated to a very interesting exe ical discourse. The theme of the sp or, Rev. R. C. Burrow, was the temp! tion of Jesus as recorded in the fourth chapter of Matthew. Although Jesus was divine, his earthly life was an in- tensely human life; and he met its ponsibilities and trials ji required to meet them, a of no means of defense or gu e, not made accessible to us. He wronght mir- acles for other, never for himself, After his tism he fasted forty days.

When atked to from’a pinnacle of the temple upon a propheey that the angels woulc bear him up, he replies by quoting the passage, “‘thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God," that is you shall not put God to'the proof.
