PICKED UP ABOUT THE CITY A Budget of Interesting Matters Pertain- ing to the Rail, THE COUNTY HOSPITAL PLANS. A Savage Assault—Special Taxes— Judge Graff—~The Plattsmouth Tiger—The Scason’s Pav- ing—0dds and Ends, Ralil Notes. The Union Pacific is arranging the de- tails of a scheme to run a train from South Omaha to Council Bluffs and re- turn, without reference to the dumm trains. That is, passengers will be o ried from South Omaha to Council Blufls and return without being obliged to change cars at the depots. It will be known as the “inter-state train” and will commence running next Sunday. Train- agent Willcox, who has been “lifting California tickets” on the west-bound trains will take charge as conductor. THE INTER-STATE LAW. A reporter for the BEE yesterday had a talk with a local passenger man on the inter-state commerce law in its effect on the theatrical profession. “I think,” said the ru'lll‘lr:\le man,‘‘that unless some- thing is done to mitigate the severity, the new law will wreek the theatrical ~busi- ness of this country. It will have ] effeet of driving out of the field the big companies, who travel with heavy scen- ery and a large number of people, and will help the smaller and weaker com- panies, whose expense: ot nearly so much. It may possib! ive the old stock company system, but 1 doubt it. it cannot be doubted but that the eflect of the law upon the profession will be most disastrous.” “Will the railroads make any conces- sions to the thestrical profession which will mitigate the scverity of the law?” was asked of him, “I dou't know,” was the reply, “but I think that they will. I believe that rep- resentatives of the different American roads wrll soon m and_fix up some scheme, by which theatrical companies can start out next season with a show of making some money. [ do not belicve the commission itself can do anything. Its powers, as I take 1t, do not extend be- ond the regulation of the long and short aul clause The contractor’s are M.'s line to the northwe ble rapidity. 1,500 me re working in the vicinity of Central City and Cedar City.

George Caroy Beaten by Thugs Be- cause He Couldn’t Loan a Dollar. George Carey, a very much battered up individual, appeared in police court yes- terday morning as complaining witness against a man named J. W. Srofe. The latter had assaulted him unmercifully. Carey claims that a friend of Srofe’s met him Sunday night, as he was on his way home, and asked him for the loan of a dol- lar. The fellow told him that he had gambled away all his wages and didn't want to go home, without any money, to his wife. Carey promised totry to borrow the dollar for him, and as he claims did endeavor to secure the amount. He failed, however, and this so_infuriated the ap- plicant for the loan that he jumped up- on Carey with the remark ‘‘Then, by — I'll take it out of your — hide.” Srofe gained in the assault, and beat Carey severely, almost brenldm; hisnose. The other men succeeded in escaping but Srofe was arrested. He was fined $15 and costs. Judge Stenberg disposed of thirty-one drunks and disturbers of the peace. 'welve were fined, Six vagrants were rraigned, one was given fifteen days, one twenty days, two were ordered out of town and the rest were discharged, ——— THE FAITH IN THEM, The County Commissioners Tell Why They Accepted Myers' Plan. County Commissioners O'Keefe and Mount yesterday to took oceasion ad- vanc esome reasons why they accepted the plan for the county hospital proposed by Mr. Myers, instead of those of either Cochrand or Mendessohn & Lawrie. Com- missioner Mount, referring to Mr. Men- delssohn’sinterviewin the BEE said: *‘He (Mendelssohn) says that I promised to stay by him, all things being equal ‘I'hat is true, and I stick to it still. I did eay I would stand by any loca! architect, all things being equal.” Mr. O'Keefe said that he had been in favor of Mr. Myers' plans the last time as well as the first, because he con- sidered them the by At first Mendels- sohn’s was nothing buta fire trap, and next his pavilion plan was inferior to Myers’. With regard to the delay which had taken place over the first pl that had been oceasioned by their “considera- tion of the matter and ultimate trin to the east, upon their return from which they saw that none of the plans shoul be nccepted. If, as Mr. Mendelssohn reasoned, that gentleman’s plan was worthy of only second place in the first competition, as he had not changed his plans all all, except to reduce them in size, and as Mr. Myers had changed and zreatly improved his first ones, it fol- owed that, in the last competition, Mr. Mendelssohn's plans were still entitled to but the second place. Both commissioners then went into a detailed explanation of the merits of the Meyer’s plan. In the first place, the building was to be fire-proof and the ar- chitect is to give a bond or $20,000 that it will be completed within the cost of 2,000, and accommodate 105 patlents. Tho first story is to be of stone the rest hard pressed brick with double coats of lead and oil, Every wall in the building is to be con- tinuous from the basement to the roof, and to be of brick, In Mendelssohn's plan, the walls are not continuous and n some of the basement rooms, the walls above are to be sup- ported by pillars. Besides in he lutter plan, the walls are of hollow tile, which but invites dirt and filth. The floors throughout the building were to be of cement, resting upon brick arches sup. ported by iron girders. ‘There was to be no wood save possibly the doors. The closets were to be far removed from and t within eusy reach of each ward. msidou the excrement was to be dried and burned, thus rendering sewers un- necessal ‘Again, the number of cubio ot of pacein both the wards and rooms fwas greater iu those of Mr.Myers' plan than those of Mr. Mend ohn, In the former, also, by the sys of ventilu- tion introduced, it as possible to change the atmosphere of the entire building every eight minutes, The cost Mr. Mendelssohn's plan would be svery patient, while that of yers' was but # 36, The com- missioners claimed to hs a hundred reasons for the preference they had shown for Mr. Myers’ work.

How an Omahan Bucked Him in His Laitr, William Burbridge, who kept a gam- bling room on Douglas strect immedi- ately east of the People's theater, was arrested on Friday night by the sherift of Cass county. It seems that after selling out his place to Brucker, Soderstrom & Donnelly, Burbridge went to Chicago and thence went to Plattsmouth, where he opened a gambling house on Main street. He remained there a short time and finally went to South Omaha where he started into business again, leaying there after a short time and again look- ing to Omaha, where he was getting ready to open another house on Twelfth treat between Douglas and Farnam. He was taken to Plattsmouth by the sheriff where, late on Friday night, he pleaded fiuilly to the charge of running a gan ling house. ‘The court fined him %50 and costs, amounting to $66. There were two counts against him in the in- dictment, but _the second one was not pressed. Burbridge had but $41 in cash which he deposited with the clerk, to- gother with a go!d watch valued at $125. That evening, it is understood that Bur- bridge managed to meet a number of the court attendants from the county to- ether with a few local sports, over n ittle private game, and rose from the table winner by something over $200. He redeemed his watch and left the place $125 ahead, and is again in town. 200,000 Hard Brick for sale, Wickham Bros., Council Blufls, Iowa. > Spriing A Narrow Escape. Old railroad men who visited the wreck on the Union Pacilic at Waterloo on Sat- urdzy last, say that the condition of the rolling stock after it got through break- ing itself into kindling wood, was the worst that nas been seen in an accident aronnd Omaha in many years. Five cars were literally crushed into an unrecog- nizable mass of splinters. The engine was imbedded in the ground and En- gineer Douglas and his fireman were caught m the cab and, it was thought, beyond relief. As it was they had to be cut out of the wreck, when, strange to say, it was found they had not received Hastings. The Mo. Pacific and Northwestern have submitted propositions for bonds which will be voted sure. J. D.

OMAHA, Neb., April 18.—To the BEE: 1 desire to call before the citizens of Omaha the name of Hon.J. H. Congdon for mayor. I do this without consulting him or his friends, and without knowing to what party he belongs. I believe him ca- pable, honest and & man of superior judgment, and he would certainly merit and maintain the confidence of the pub- lic, and best of all, could give his undi- vided attentton tothe important business of his office_as many other good men named could not do. _Respectfully, P.

Wm. M. Knotts, who, 1t was an- nounced, had tireatened to assault Ed- ward Larkin with a hammer, on last Friday evening, denies that he had a weapon of any kind in his hands at the time.

Shortly after the county commissioners had decided in favor of adopting the Myers plan for the county hospital, the second and third prizes were awarded to Mendelssohn & Lawrie and Cochrane respectively.

Mrs. Myra Cragler, wife of Mr. Jacob Cragler of this city, died at 5 o'clock yes- terday morning at the family residence on Twenty-first and Vinton, The deceased was inher twenty-sixth year, and left many friends to mourn her demise and who deeply sympathize with the bereaved husband in "the great loss he has sus- tained, The funeral takes place this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence. The remains will be interred at Laurel Hill cemetery.

'The girl, who happened to be a servant working in the house next to the one in which the young man’s betrothed was domiciled, ‘went home in a high feather, elated at the conquest she had made.

The telegraph brings the news from New York that Washington Conner, the celebrated Gotham banker, is frothing at the mouth because some one has eicu lated the story that Manager Locke, of American Opera company, could draw upon him for an unlimited amount. Mr. Connor declares that it would not be safe for Mr. L. to assume anything of the Kkind._ Mr. Connor also declared to the New York correspondent that the report was started by a person named Miner, in Omaha. As this doubtless refers to the sccre- tary of the exposition association, a re- porter called upon Mr. Miver yesterday and questioned him about the matter. “Is it true that you started any such story?” was asked of him., *No air, I did not,” Mr. Miner replicd, “I have never said anything of the sort.” “Have you any idea how your name was connected with this affair?” “No. WhatI did say was that Mr. Locke could probably draw on Mr, Con- nor for £5,000, and no more, and that is all I did say about the matter.” MAR ING: CONNECTIONS, They Ought to Be Made Immediately —Streets to be Improved. During the present season, the follow- ing streets are to be paved: Davenport, from Sixteenth to Twenty-second; Tenth, from Center to Martha; Farnam, from Twenty-eighth to Thirty-sixth; Cuming, trom Thirty-second to Thirty-sixth; Twen- ty-fourth, from Seward to Patrick avenue; Mason, from Tenth to Eleventh; Eley- enth, irom Capitol avenue to Davenport; Twelfth, from Capitol avenue to Daven- port; Thirteenth, from Capitol avenue to Davenport; Sixteenth, from Howard to Leavenworth; Seventh, from Jackson to Leavenworth ana Chieago from Sixteenth to Twentieth. Mr. House says that no permits for ex- cavations or connections will be issued to property owners or lessees on any por- tion of these streets after the grading of the same has been commenced by the contractors. It will therefore be advis- able for property owners to make all the required connections as soon as possible. SPECIAL TAXES. Collector Calhoun Makes a Request of Liquor and Tobacco Dealors. Colleetor Calhoun’s force of clerks are now approaching their busiest season. Every dealer in liquor and tobacco in the district is being furnished with a blank application, on which he must set forth the nature and extent of his business and tile the same with the collector before the first of May. At last accounts there were about fifteen thousand d s In the district who are compelied to take out specinl license, and these special licenses or special tax certif are issued after the filing of the applica tion mentioned. As the work of making out these certificates 1s a heavy one, the collector especially desires that dealers in this city and state make their applica- tions immediately so as to enable him to 1ssue the certiticates as soon us possible. Army News. 1t is believed at army headquarters that inasmuch as the report of the court-mar- tial of Major Benteen, for drunkenness, has been received at Washington, that the sentence of the court is undoubtedly against the major. Otherwise, 1t is said, no report of the court-martial would be received by the secretary of war. The matter now rests with the president, and it remains to be scen whether he will mitigate the severity of the sentence which must follow ‘the finding of the court-martial, Colonel Henry, who has returned from the Bellevue ritle range, reports that the 1,000-vard shooting ground has been ad- mirably laid out.

The county commissioners are consid- cring how they may make room in the county building for another court room. The plam now most favored seems to be the removal of the law library to one of the rooms now occupied by Uuunlr Superintendent Braner and utilizing the room occupied by it into a court. Another idea seems to prefer the removai of the library to the room occupied by the county surveyor in the basement, - Ducks in Profusion, Drs.

The county commissioners have de- cided to discard as much as possible the small bridges over ditches in the county, and hereafter, whenever practicable, will substitute boxes, which are both more durable, serviceable and cconomical. With His Mother. Detroit Free Press: A few weeks ago in this city a poor widow dicd, leaving one lame child, a little boy, to the cold charities of the world. After his mother’s funeral the little fel- low was taken ill from the combined re- sults of grief und neglect, and it was evi- dent that he would soon be united to his only friend. He was left alone X much of the day, there being no one who could spare the time to s with him. It was often noticed that the voices of two persons would be heard in his little room. But when those in charge entered he would be apparently aslecp. One day they listened, being quite sure that no one was with the child, and they overheard this strange chonologue:— “Is you rite there, mamma?"’ “Yes, my little boy, I1s rite here.” “Was you went away yet ““I wented back to hea about my litue boy.™ “Did you was afraid, mamma®” “No, my own little boy, 'cause God is 1 peoples.” ‘Did you told him about me,mamma?’’ I tolded him T had a little boy named Harry—an’—an’—an’ 1L There was a loud noise of sobbing then, and the listeners without d too.
