Do not these facts show that milder stimu- lants are driving out their fiery competitors, and is it not due to the great agitation of the temperance question?” Business Fallures, MILWAUKEE, Aprll 14.—Late yesterday afternoon the wholesalo grocery house of Goodrich & Wagner made an assignment.

McLaughlin Defeats Moth — Nellie Greeble's Troubles—Hunting Her Hushand—The oor Farm Ap- praisement—Other Local, The National Opara Company. The National Opera company left last night at 10 o'clock for San Francisco. Their delay of forty hours in Omaha, which was 80 voxatious to the manage- ment, was caused by a hiteh in the ar- rangements which Manager Locke had made with the Union Pacific railway to take the entire company to San Fran- cisco by special chartered trains at a ce tain rate per mile. The amount agreed upon was guaranteed on Wednesday morning by the backers of the company in New York and all arrangements made for the company's departure for the west at once. Atthe last hour the Central Pacific gave notice of a demurr from the agreoment made by General Passenger Agent Morse, of the Union Pacific, and thereby caused the delay, Man- ager Locke could not proceed until the Contral Pacitic people given satisfactory terms 1n order to avoid the great delay that would be necessary at Ogden by the weighing and transferring of the com- pany’s baggage and effects. All day yes- terday Manager Locke and the Union Pacific officials were in telegraphic com- munications with the officials of the Cen- tral Pacific and the New York capitalists who are backing the company. In the meantime the lesser lights of the com. pany were enjoying themselves. The girls were frisking about the depot as hap- pily and unconcernedly as . though noth- ing was the matter. A large number of them strayed over to Kessler's hall, and busied themselves in emptying beakers of lager, while those who did not eare to walk so far, made.up a purse and ordered a plenteous supply of Krug'sbest. ‘The men amused them- selves by playing base ball, foot ball or cards. In fact, none of them seemed to care whether ‘‘school kept or not.” This line ot amusement was kept up until 8 o'clock last night, when the difficulties “were announeed to have been adjusted and the switch engines were put to work making up the opera trains. This stopped the merrymaking and .inaugurated a hustle on the part of the company to get ready for the start. Messengers were dispatched for members who were amus- ing themselves at a distance from the depot, and preparations begun for the long ride. The train was announced to start at 8:30 o’clock und all was in readi- ness when Manager Locke was called up town to hold a conversation with Mr, Connor and Mrs. Thurber in New York. This l2sted until 9 o’clock and evidently resulted satisfactorily, as the moving orders were given very soon thereafter. Manager Locke was seen by a BEE re- porter ashe was hurrying to the depot after his conference with the directors of the company in the'east. “We goassoon 9s I can reach the train,” he said, in response to the query of the reporter. “Everythmfi has been arranged satisfactorily. The BEE was in error in the statement that Mr, Hunt- ingion of the Central Pagific was inimi- cal to the company. On thé contrary, he is one of our heavlest stockholders and was instrumental in effacting the desired traflic arrangements with the Central Pacific, by which we are enabled to leaye to:night. " We have had considerable and [ desire you to express publicly my thanks to the Omaha gentlemen who aided me finaneially during the com- pany’s delay. I have just had the pleas- ure of rehn'ninf them all the money the; advanced and I appreciate their "kind- ness very much.” “Will you be able now to reach San Francisco in time to commence your en- gagement on Monday night?"’ *‘We will reach San Francisco some time on Sunduy. We have a contract for a_twenty-one-night éngagement in San Francisco at a guarantee of $1,000 a night, commencing on Monday night, and we will get there in time to give the company one night's rest before our sea- son opens, We will have a right of way and will make the trip as thpidly as wheels can carry us, stopping only for water and fuel.” At 9:30 o'’clock the trains were pulled up on the main line of the Union Pacific and started for the flying mg to San Francisco at a few minutes before 10 o'clock. Alleged Mismanagement., *‘So much has been said and written concerning the financial troubles of the National Opera company, and the prob- ability and possibility of the venture proving a financial success, that I desire to add my opinion, formed from a knowl- edge of the affairs of the company,’’ said a gentleman prominently connected with the management of the company to a «BEE reporter last night. *‘The enterprise is the greatest one of its kind ever at- tempted and yet in the right hands could be made a financial success. Under the present management it cannot be made to pay. I u}' this with all respect to Mr, Locke. He is a manager of ability, but thero ia somothing fygrantly wrong in the present order of things. Treasurer Jafiray has been quoted 1n the Brk as placing the expenses of the company at about g:!,()()fl a day. You will be surprised to learn where this expense comes in. In the first place Mr, Lock gots $300 a woek for his services and has full managerial power. He has three treasurersat an ex- pense of between $3500 and $600 a week. @ has four door keepers and uever uses but one of them. Neither of them re- ceives less than $50 a week, Ho had four electricians at salaries that are com- manded by the best experts in this line. He cannot, and does not furnish work enough of this kind to keep one man busy. He has five stage carpenters at big salarics and yet when the company ar- rived here thic services of a local stage carpenter were employed to arrange the stage and scenery in the exposition building. Then he has three or four sur- plus agents who seem to have nothing to do oxcept to travel with the company and draw their salaries with becoming regularity, In all, Mr. Locka pays out of the pockets of the stockholders 'in this fr«ul enterprise at least $2,500 per week or services that could be very well dis- pensed with. Of his object or gain in so doing I know nothing and care less, ex- cept that as a musician and lover of such enterprises [ hate to see such a magniti- ecent enterprise injured by apparent needless unr:\vnfunem The company also pays ‘Theodore Thomas $4,000 & week for the wuse of s or- chestra, Thomas gets $1,000 a week additional for his name and services while he stays in New York and entrusts the direction of the orchestra to an as- sistant who pulls an additional $500 a woek for his services. Of course Thomas and his renowned orchestra are neces- sary to the success of th® enterprise, but the owners of the company are foolish to allow Locke to pay such emormous sal- aries to persons from whom he receives no direct servi Qutside of these ex- travagauces the expenses of the company are not so abominably great. Juch gets £1,000 & week, but with this exception the salaries of the singers are not large and the number of the company tends to lessen the pro rata expense, " Properly managed the venture would proye a financial success, A Wild Rumor of a Unfon Depot. The rumor was spread last evening that the railroads at present terminating their lines at the transfer depot and also the Chicago, St. Paul, Minueapolis & Omaha, Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley, and Missouri Pacific had come to an agreement upon a grand union depot project in Omahu. The Union Pacific and B. & M. were not reported to b the combination. It further stated that the purpose to condemn for depot purposes a large and valuable por- tion of the city lying north of Dodge street and east of Twelfth street. ‘The information at first came from Mr. Frank Delone, and he was sought. He stated that his Lrother informed him of it. His brother could not be found, but C. k. Mayne, F. A. sh and several other gentlemen, who were supposed to be in a position 'to know, were inter- viewed and each and all declared that they knew nothing about it. Mr. Nash being with the Chicago & Milwaukee, which company is conceded to be interested in the Nebraska Central j he was believed to be good Hi ted that at present the § companies were 80 strained that he did not believe it possi- ble that such a combination could be made. Mr. Mayne, as one of the projectors of the cable line which proposes to build on Dodge street, was also regarded as very likely to be informed. He awowed thut he had never heard of such a thing and could not eredit it. Y The generally accepted theory was hat the rumor sprang from the condem- on proceedings which tho Nebras entral is taking o secure bridge premi- ses and depot grounds, presumably for the benefit of the Mil kee. STRUGGLE OF THE G1ANTS, McLaughlin Throws Moth Twice— Another Contest To-night, Between two hundred and three hun- dred men with their hats on and enjoying the solace of the weed made up a small, black group in the vastness of the expo- sition hall last evening when Colonel J. H. McLlauglilin, the champion collar and elbow wrestler of the United States, and Charles Moth, the champion Grxco- Homan wrestler, met in a three-style match, John Prince was sclected as referee. The first bout was collar and elbow, both men wearing small jackets. Time was calledat 9:12, and as the wrestlers secured a firm hold on each other's jackets the comparison between them was especially noticeable. McLaughlin was the perfect picture of the Hercules that he is, but a Hercules out of trim. While his ponderous biceps, chest and leg muscles showed 1n all their sym- metry, it was evident that they were soft, and at the belt was a tendency to corpo- rosity which belongs to the business man and not the athlete. Moth, on the other hand, while not muaking the show of muscle which his opponent did, was clearly hard and wiry and n splendid competing condition. Where his mus- cles appeared they stood out knotted and. clearly defined and at the waist there was no stomach to impede his cat-like move- ments, The contestants tugged a little at each other’s collars and tapped legs with their feet, but no move- ments of strength wers shown until the third minute, when McLaughlin secured a grapevine lock and in a flash Moth was down. But in_ going he had turned half around and slippery as an eel, he broke away. Again Mac caught Moth with his favorite grapevine, and again the agile German turned in the air. A third time they struggled for a brief space, and then McLaughlin made a lifzhtuinz trip with a powerful twitch and Moth landed fairly on his shoulders. The crowd cheered and commenced to warm up into considerable enthnsiasm. The time was 5:144. . After a ten minutes' breathing spell they met in the Gricco-Roman, Moth’s favorite, and in which he is the acknowl- edged champion. Atter a few minutes close hugging and two or three tugs by each to test the other's stability, Mc- Laughlin turned Moth and sent him downward. It appeared when he started with his back fairly to the floor as if he would sufter quick defeat at his own game, but he whirled in the air and struck on his hands and knees. Then as McLaughlin tried to turn him he literally ran out from under the Michigan Hercu- les and was on his feet before the latter hads hardly time to regain his own. Agnin Moth was forced down by his powerful antagonist's strength and a sec- ond time he made one ot his surprising 4urns and broke away, amid vociferous applause. When they eame together again it appeared as if one or the other’s neck would be broken. They turned and stramed and their muscles stood out like bunches of iron. McLaughlin twice secured the hold he was after, but Moth slipped out, Then Mac found his grip and made a spendid turn and force, put- ““5 Moth on his head but the latter bridged just as skillfully, keeping his shoulders from the floor,” and rolled out from under. Again‘ and a third time this was done, and finally both antagonists came to the floor. Then Moth for a time forced the struggle and twice he nearly turned MecLaughlin, the latter’s immense strength alone saving him. Moth seemed to be, and in. reality was, leading his antagonist to attempt to catch his neck in a full Nelson, 480 that he might break it and catch ' The arm lock. In this ruse he was successful, and on a third trial, while McLaughlin had him in the air, Moth turned and caught the lock and placed the dough?’ colonel squarely upon his shoulders. The cheer- ing was loud and luuF. and Moth was accorded a noteh higher in the public estimation.. The time was 15:1}. At the juncture, after the men had re- tired to rest and rub down, J. C. Farley, of San Francisco, appeared and said that he had proposed to challenge the winner of the match, which challenge he then made publiciy. He stated that he had been informed that Moth had called him a haymaker, and he was anxious to make hn{l of Moth in a wrestling match as soon a8 hecould. He was anxious, though, to wrestlo the winner of the match first. Moth then said that he had never heard of the gentleman, Farley, but he would meet him at any time and would wrestlo him then and there on the spot in any shape. McLaughlin said that he was ready to wrestle the entle- man but wanted to dispose of Moth first, After he had attended to Moth he would meet the strangor at ani time or for any amount, or he woul wrestle both him and Moth on the follow- ln,i mght. (Applause.) 'he third bout was then called and the men played with each other cautiousl. for a few minutes, Then they close: and McLaughlin pat his grapavine lock at work. There was a second’s tug and Moth went in the mir and down on his back. But he bridged successfully and t on his feet. The nexs time, though, cLaughliu caught the grapevine lock on his antagonist, he threw him on his side and gradually forced hig shoulders down, 'I'ne jacket which Moth wore, according to the claims of the Oraha man, pl 4 an important part in this, as it permitted MeLaughlin to choke nim. Tho fall (in's fif atid mateh were awarded (o McLagiglhlin. McLaughlin was seconded by Parshall and Moth by Bualdwin. At the aunouncement by the referce of the result of the match there were jond calls for the men to take ofl’ their jackets and wrestle catch-as-catch-can. This MeLaughlin refused tto do at tho time, but he agreed to Moth's proposition that to night they shotild meet again in the same place for a matoh of five bouts— collar and elbow, (iraeco-Roman, eatch- as-catch-can, side hold and back hoid. The winner of threa 18 to take the gate receipts and a purse £100. Therefore, unless there is some hitch in obtaining the hall, the giants will meet again this evening. AMUSEMENTS, ) comedy com}mny produced their play, “A Piece of Pie,” ast night to an audience that filled every available space in the theater. Tho play is a farcial comedy and is constructed for laughing purposes and_ serves that' end admirably, From the beginning to the finish of the ]wrlnrm:mcfl the audi- ence was convulsed with laughter. Miss Fannie Beane is a very catchy and pleas- ing soubrette and as a dancer is un celled by any one. Charles Gilday is a n of great merit and resorts to no buffonery to obtain laughter or ap- plause from his audiences. He he natural humor and his methods aro legit- imate. The play, “A Piece of Pi pure and free from all the suggestive- ness which usually characterizes plays of the farce comedy order and depends solely upon the situations and ak the company to create merriment. play will be repeated to-night and will doubtless draw another large house. Turabull Took the Ticker. J. M. Cross: and Nelly Scott wore ar rested yosterday afternoon and slated as suspicious characters. Nelly, who wrestles with the festive sandwich in & Fourteenth street chop house, it appears,’ had possession of a watch which she claimed had been prlesented to her by a tin-horn gambler named Hoskins. The lover became jealous of Nelly's partiality for Cross and had themn both arrested on the charge of larceny. The case was called before Judge: Stenberg, who de- cided that 1t was a love affair which aid not merit judicial interference. Hoskins finl. possession of the watch to find that elly had succeeded in mashing the crystal and breaking off a few of the hands, ‘‘The watch ain't worth $3, as it is,” said Hoskins plaintively. “DI'll give you $3 for it,”’ said Oflicer Turnbull, who was in the court. “It's a go,” replied Hoskins and the transfer was made and the case dismissed. Nelly now promises to replevin the ticker from Ofticer Turn- bull, Oricket. The first annual mpoting of the Omaha Cricket club took' piace lrst night, at which about twenty members were vresent. The election of officers and other matters in connection with the club for the coming season were sucessfully disposed of. ‘The following are the names of the officers for the year: President, P.S. Eustis; vice president, John Francis; sec- retary and treasurer, Richard Shake- shaft; executive committee, Messrs. lS)mi% Taylor, Vaughan, Legeyt and Doyle.

Among the probable matches are two with Chicago, the secretary of the Omaha Cricket club being ulready 1n re- ceipt of a challenge for two matches, from the St. George club, Hunting For Her Husband. X young woman in distress appeared at the police station yesterday afternoon in search of her husband. She gave her name as Mary Hansen and her place of residence as Pocatello, Idnho. Her story 18 that she went to Marion county, Iowa, to visit relatives, leaving her husband at his position as conductor of a train on tha Oregon Short line. She heard no word of him until she saw a notice in an Omaha paper of a man by his name hav- ing been arrested on the charge of the larceny of some clothes. She came to Omaha yesterday and learned from the authorities at the Union Facific head- quarters that her husband had left the company's employ in March. Further than this she could Jearn nothing and left last night for her home in Idaho. The Gypsy Bana. To the Editor of "the Brek: The resident who lives near Hanscom park and who so loudly complains about the “thieving gypsies'’ 1s evidently off his base and should look for the thieves elsewhere. Old Mr. Reynolds, the “‘gypsy king,” who is at the head of the band, together with all the members of the: band, enjoy a high reputation all through the state of Towa for honesty and fair dealing. I have been acquainted with him and his family for six years. Mr. Luther Owen, druggist at 505 North Sixteenth street, has known the band for thirteen years and there are many other persons in the city well acquainted with them and we dislike to hear any such evil attributed to them as we consider them very worthy people.

Omaha detectives have been at work for some days collecting evidenco that will be adduced in a sensational divorce case soon to be commenced at Nebraska City. The defendant in the case, the woman, is now in Omaha, and, judgmg from the evidence which represents the labors of the detectives, has led a strange life, filled with sensational opisodes. Her name is Mrs. Nellie Greeble. She s a4 young woman, apparently not more than twenty-two years of age, rather pretty and intelligent. Her story is that ars ago at Moadville, Pa., where with her father, who was an artist, she foll a victim to the wiles of a furniture dealer named R. O. Greeble. Sho got into trouble and Greeble was arrested on the charge of having at- tempted to have an abortion performed upon her, The case went to the courts and everything pointed to Greeble's con- viction, when, in opposition to the ad- vice of her father and attorneys, the woman married him and thus ended the prosecution. About four years ago Greeble and his wife came west and located at Auburn where Greeble was en- gaged in the furniture busmess. They afterwards removed to Grand Island where Greeble embarked in saloon business. About a year ago they removed to Nebraska City where Greeblo took charge of the saloon in one of the hotels. Here, according to the woman's story, Greeble became negligent of s duties toward her and finally became abusive. In her di. s of his treatment she accepted the sympathy and atten- tions of & barkeeper in Nevraska City named McKinn ‘Therr relations grow into inlmmce— nd about four weeks ago to Elopo- she consented elope with McKinney. ‘They came to this city where McKinney found employment u: tender at_the Merchant's he ie uneglect from which the woman suffered at her hus- band’s hands was again visited upon her while in the role of McKinney’s mistress. He left her at a hotel and paid but little attention to her. She tired of this treat- ment and wrote to her husband 1n an ef- fort to aflect a reconciliation. Greeblo, howeyer, refused to receive the sinning and yet sinned against woman again but camg to Omaha and put the caso in the hands ot the detectives for the purpose of obtaining mal for the divorce pro- ceedings which he is instituting at Nebraska City. Clifton Hill in Litigation, Ezra F. Ringer commenced suit in the District court yesterday against A. P. Tukey and W. F. Ali¢n to settie a ques- tion of partnershiv in the ownership of the southeast quarter of the southwest quarter of section eight, township fifteen, known as “'Clifton Hill.” The plaintift’ asserts that in January he and the de- fendants purchased the property of John A. Creighton, paying a part of only of the purchase price.” Later Tukey & Allen advanced the money to pay for the prop- erty in order to give their customers a deed to the'property. Thedefendant has since offered to rfly his one-third of the amount thus advanced, but the detend ants refuse to accept it. He asks the cour therefore to cause the defendants to muke an accounting of the lots sold and to give him a thirrd interest in the profits of such sale and to compel them to execute him a deed for a third interest in the unsold lots. A ‘' Three-Shell” Man Corraled. Among the gentlemen of elegant leisure wwho were given the .privilege by Judge Stenberg yesterday of paying 50 fine or going to jail for thirty days, was one named Frank Brady, who has been operating in South Omaha for sgome time as a “three-shell” player.

It stands today the best known curative article in the world, Its marvelous renown is not due to the advertis ng it has received. It is famous by reason of its in- herent virtues. It does all that is claimed for it. It is tte most powerful, speedy and cflec tive agent known for the building up of de- bilitated systems. The following witnesses are offered to prove this. What it Did for an Old Lady. Coshocton Siation, N, Y., Decomber 23th, 1384, GeN1S—A number Of people have been using your bitters here, and with marked ef- fect. " In fact, one case, a lady of over seventy years, has been sick for years, and for the past ten years I have known her she has not been able to be around halfthe time. about six months ago she got so feeble s was heypless. Her old remedics, or ph cians, being of no avail. Isentto depo it, forty-five miles, and got a bottle of Hop Bitters. It had such a very beneficial cffect on her that one hottle improved h:r so she was able to daess herselfand walk about the house. Whenshe had taken the second bottle she was able to take care of her own and walk out to her neighbor’s and has im- proved all the time since. My wife and children have also derived great banefit from their use. W. B.HATHAWAY, Agt. U. S. Ex. Co. An Enthusiastic Endorsment.

Last May I was induced to try Hop Bitters. I used ouc bottle, but did not see any change; another did so change my nerves that they are now as they ever were. Itused to ‘take both hands'to write, but now my good right hand writes this. Now, if you continue to man- ufacture as honest as good an atticle as you do, you will accumulate an honst fortune, and confsr the greatest blessing on your fellow-men that vas ever conferred on mankind. TIM BURCH. A Husband's Testimony, My wife was troubled for ycars with blotches, moth patches and pimples on her face, which nearly annoyed the life out of her. She spent many dollars on the thou- sand infallible (?) cures, with nothing butin- jurious effects. A lady friend, of Syracuse N. Y., who had had similar expericnce and had been cured with Hop Bitters, induced her to try it. One bottle has made her tace as smooth, fair and soft as a child’s and given her such health that it seems almost a miracle. A MeMBER OF CANADIAN PARLIAMENT, A Rich Lady’s Experience, I traveled all over Europe and other foreign countries at a cost of thousands of pollars, in search of health and found it not, Iretured discouraged and disheartened and was'restored toreal youthful health und spirits with less than two bottles of Hop Bitters. I hope others may profit by my ex- perience and stay at home. A LADY, AGUSTA, ME, J.
