SHE DIED 1IN DISHONOR. Mollie Blator Falls a Victim to Unholy Love, ABANDONDED BY FRIENDS. The Escapade of an Alleged Forger ~Talk of a Rise in Coal—A Host of Other Items of Tuterest. Mollie Slater. Yesterday morning the remains of Mol- lie Slater were removed from the sporting house of Minnie Fairchild to Burket's undertaking rooms on North Sixteenth street. This little woman died Monday night about 9 o'clock, and yesterday morning as her remaing lay in the lonely dead room, her features showed in an unmistakable way the misery to which she had been subjected in b fruitless pursuit of pleasure. No friend claimed her, mno friends ealled to see her. To all intents and purposes she was deserted by friend and enemy alike, although she 1s not withoutsome of the former in this city. Her story isa sad one, though it does not differ ma- terially ‘from that of those sho sufler such a fate. Three wecks ago, she sought admis- sion to the house in which she died. was received by the landlady be the girl's youth and pitiable lot made an fmpression upon the proprietor whose name has already been mentioned. The irl's story was that she had met a handsome travelling man named Williamson, with whom she soon became acquainted. He rrotesscd to admire the raven gloss of her ong dark hair and sought for her com- pany. She granted the boon. They fre- quented ice-cream saloons and took even- ing walks, and at times she remained i his company until the morn- in, hours. Irom the ice-cream saloon she made appointments with and stopped with him, she claimed at the Paxton hotel. Soon it dawned upon her that she was ruined and fruitiessly en- deavored to conceal the fact from her friends. She was li\'uu‘ with her matcr Mrs., Barney Burnell, wife of a clerk in a butcher shop on the corner of Twenty-second and Farnam streets, the residence being at the corner of Eighbteenth and Williams streets. She feared ed to hide her shame where might not be discovered. representations to Miss kairchild were borne out by appearances and the latter with a sympathetic feeling admitted her to her house to take care of her during her impending illness. One week ago it became evident that the girl could not sarvive the pangs of maternity and after a consultation in which Doctors Stone, Crowell ana Fiegenbaum took part, it was decided to endeavor to save the girl’s life and she was according- delivered of a still-born child. A‘rl that could have been done was under- taken to aid the unfortunate. Delirium set in and the girl had to be kept under the influence of an anwsthe and placed in a straight- jacket while a colored nurse watched be side her day and night. But all without avail, Monday night when Dr. Stone saw the girl wasabout to die, be notified the sister of the fuct and she, itis stated, received the information without the slightest emo- tion. The brother-in-law called and retended that e had notified an under- to call for the remains r made his appearance. That was the first visit made to the un- fortunate by one of her relatives during her 1llness, Yesterday noundertaker ap the girl’s friends and Miss Fairchild after baving incurred an expense of about $200 for medical attendance, medicine, nurses and wear and tear of material was forced to send the unfortunate to Burket's to be_be buried by her relatives. ‘Who Mollie Slater's betrayer is is not known. He went under “an assumed name, and when she sought to find him by giving at the Puxton the name he had assumed, the management of that house claimed that at the time mentioned no such party had occupied the room the number of which was given. The be- trayer was a large heavy man with blonde hair and mustache. \\ hoever he may. the death of this unfortunate girl is laid at his door. A MAN OF M ' NAMES, He is Jacob Petorson and is Also a Man of' Note. There is a man in this city who 1 va- riously known as Jacob, Peter W.. and Rasmus P. Peterson. How many more names he has been known under can not now be ascertained. A short time since, he was charged with forgery in the police court, It is now claimed that he has run away. Saturday he borrowed ten dollars from his attorneys, Ritchie & Kampfer, together with the traveling valise of one of the gentlemen. " It is also claimed that he took the cufl'studs of one of the same partics. Peterson’s where abouts, 1t is claimed, were unknow Ex-Justice Weiss has several souvenirs, Two of these are notes, one for §110 and the other is for $100. One is signed George W.

Ed wards claims to hold a mortgage upon u well deseribed grey horse which will enable him to secure the animal. detection and decid- appeared from A Raise in Coal, One of Omaha’s leading coal men re- turned yesterday from the east where he had been making arrangements for coal for the ensuing winter. He claims that the piices which they are now compelled to charge for anthracite conl isa cause of much surprise to consumers, ‘This time one year ago they were selling hard coal for £6.50 per ton, and now nu; xm. com- lled to charge $10 for it. This raiso as been occasioned by the lnu‘muu in the transportation to this point. At the time first mentioned, the freight to Omaha was but #1.60 per ton, whereas since the enforcement of the interstate law, the freight has been increased to $3.22 per ton. These are summer prices and the dealer could not say what price conl would command during the winter wonths. Lachrymose Morrissey. Thomas Lee aud Charles Rouse were walking down Tenth street Monday even- ing and, arriving at one of the new buila- ings near Howard, they were halted by * Jim Morrissey, who was toting -a heavy plank across the sidewalk. They were delayed some little bit, and Lea im- ‘patiently asked how long. they were to wait, and without further provoeation, Morrissey, who had been “hitting. tho wler'’ pretty hard, diopped the tum- ;m from his lhoulder. ang knuckui 'Mr Lee down. As they stood before Judge Berka this morning Lee looked as if be just had an introduction to Sulli- van. - Morrissey didn't deny having hit tim, and was promptly fined $15 and costs, This was too much for Morrisey and he pleaded piteously with the court, saying that he was a hard working man, with a big family to sup mllnnll it was his first offense. The u.u:n- was inexorable, however, telling Morrissey he should have 'hmlghl of all these things before he smashed” Mr. Lee i the eye, and with tears streaming down his'bronzed face he was hustled buck into the cage to await the departure of the wagon for the hilltop. He did not have to go up, however, for at this junc- ture Contractor Jim l)«'lmc\ appeared upon the scene and paid his fine, with the remark that Morrissey was one of the best men on his whole force and he couldn’t account for the flowery break he had veen cinched for. Burglars at Work, Yesterday morning Thomas Kelly who conducts restaurant in connection with the saloon of Thomas Foley, No. 314 South ‘Thirteenth street found that the estab 1 been visited by burglars sometime last night, The trap door lead- ing to the cellar had been forced open and a window leading into the latter from the rear of the building had been broken. As faras could be ascer- tained nothing was stolen. The proprie- tors knew the night marauders could get no money, for since burg stole " §70 from Mr. Foley some- time ago the receipts are not left in the saloon. A pair of new shoes belonging to the bartender Fred Palmer, were taken and an_old pair left instead, one shoe being n Kelly's money drawer and the other in Foley financial recepticle. Those who saw Palmer this morning with one foot encased in_an old rubber boot of the vintage of 18585 and a dilapidated slipper of cra 'qmll style and ancient ereation, must not imagine he hud the gout or had been playing base ball. He was waiting for a shoemaker friend to imitate the early rising of the lark. A Sure Thing Man Gets Left, John A. King, who runs the saloon on Douglas street opposite the Turf E change, had a *‘sure thing' 1 the Whit- taker-Ashingher bicycle race of Sun- day last, and gave Robert Ehmann, Whittaker's backer in the race $100 to lay for him on his man. King called on Ehmann Monday expecting to toy with a big fat roll of greenbacks. He thought, of course, he had won on Whittaker, and his disa hhointment can be imagined when Khmann told him that he had not placed his money, that he couldn’t find takers, and had left it in his room at the Arcade. King then asked Ehmann to re- turn the money he nad given him, and Ehmann promised to produce immedi- ately. They parted, and that was the Iast scen of Mr, Ehmann, and in all likelihood the last he will see of him for many @ moon to come. A warrant was issued for Eh- man, but up to date not even a clue to his Whereabouts has been ascertained King naturally feels a trifle sore, but hs philosophi ?_v concluded thal experi- ence is wotth the cost and that his educa- tion is now finished. Soaked His Whole Wardrobe, William Adaws, who is evidently a traveling salesman for some well known clothing firm 1n this city, the identity of® which was too much for reportorial in- genuity to establish, soaked his sample case, containing seven overcoats and a uumber of other garments the Omaha National Loan on Douglas street Monday, realizing §80 on the same, A member of the firm represented by Adams w at the police station yestérday morning in- voking the powers to as him in unearthing the festive descend- ant of a long line of presidents, and to recovery of the coats up the spout. He strenuously refused, however, to giye his name or the name of his house, asserting that they didn't want nis arrested or even exposed, but they wanted their goods back. A call at the loan oflice revealed the fact t Adams is an old custom and has fr quently pawned goods there before, but they knew, or pretend to know, nnllnn"‘ about whom he worked for or Where he resided. Sick on the Cars. The 10 o’clock train that arrived from Denver on the B. & M. Monday morn- ing had & man on board who haa been taken sick on the train. He got on at Beatrice and soon afterwards showed symptoms of illness, which became vio- lent as the train moved toward Omaha, Kind bystanders,took the man in charge and had him moved to Bell's drug store. He was #§ suffering greatly and Dr. Hewittson who was ~called pronounced his ailment acute spasmodic colic. The man's name is Chauncy Wilcox, and his mother resides in Cedar- ville, California, He hus been working on the B, & M. extension near Beatrice and had come to Omaha in search of other employment. He was removed to St. Joseph’s” hospital. The probabilities are that he will recover, although his case is very serious, Fight and Scarcity of Officers, Monday night there was a lively serim- mage in Rasmussen’s saloon, on Seventh and Leavenworth streets, between a crowd of Swedes, They adjourned to the walk and continued the fight until a number of bruises were awarded many of the t The row terminated by \'“ policemen ap idents down there no policemen on dm_y and south of the railrond. net is u vietim of this absence of proper protection, beeause frequently, w 1un sleeping in the day after the patrol ¢ night, he is called to quell «Iismrlmn« es allaround his neighborhood.

What Was Done Before the Judges Yesterday, UNITED STATES, 8. D. Lyster, brought up from Hold- redge Monday evening by Deputy United States Marshal Allen, charged with pass- ing counterfeit money, was arraigned before Judge Dundy yesterday morning, oand pleading not gulty, was remanded to juil, the court not fixing H. R. Mumangh, ac- to agreater or less extent, was also held. They are both evidently very smooth people, and in all probability the r who have been working Hastings, Lincoln, Fremont and other Nebrasks towns for the past month good deal of ' spurious coin, and $10 gold pieces and silver- dollars and half dollars has been put 1 circulation. When arrested both men d a small quantity of the quecr upon their persons, and it looks like a clear ease against them, Court adjourned sine die’ yesterday morning, after the disposal of the above cases. DISTRICT, Samuel A Keen has brought snit against the county commissioners to prevent them from refunding or issuing to other parties the 208,000 bonds offered for sale some time ago and bought by N. W. Ha ris. The latter assigned to Keen and tho county commissioners refused to transfer the bonds on the ground that they had had no dealing with Keen in the business. i Ten New Dandy Cops. Mayor W. J. Broach, H. B. Smith and George L. Gilbert, of the board of police commussioners, were in session ut the city council chambers examing the list of applicants for places on the police force. The board expeets to be in session until about dav, as there is the enormous number of one-hundred and seventy-five names to be gone over, characters to be investigated ies as to fitness for membership the force to be established, and successful can- didates to be decided upon. By pertinacious inquiry the BEE uscer- tained that there are to be but ten new men added to the force, and ubout that many to fill tho places of ‘old ones to be f' en the grand tire. However, if the evy will admit of it, there may be a few more than ten new members appointed, s the commission are exceedingly an ious to see the force materially fhereased and strengthened, but haven’ lulul'h hopo that they will be enabled to accomplish anything further than the appointment of the number mentioned. Several of the old members are on the tenterhooks, and are are traversing their beats very gin- gerly, in momentary expectation of hear- g the dull, sickening thud of their own heads falling into the basket under the keen stroke of the guillotine. There are anumber of burlesquers on the force whose decapitation will be hailed with extreme satisfaction by all; those who are anxious to see the intorests of the people guarded by good, squarc, honest, competent men,and not ignorant and 1a- eflicient apologics for such, utterly un- able to distinguish between right and wrong, The Painters. The painters’ union held a regular meeting Monday vening which was more largely attended than any previous meet- ing for several weeks, ‘I'he late strike is virtuaily over and matters are not so blue with the union men as they thought they might be. Many of them have gone to work, some on their own account and others for their own employers. A few have left town but the non-union men form the largest number of emigrants. For this season there are more painters employed than for a similar time during any previous year. The union men say they are holding to the original \L]H‘l‘lllfl of ¥2.75 per d. 1f nou- union men are employed at s rates and longer hours at present they intend to make no outward demonstration, be- lieving that these things will shape them- selves in time. Henceforward their meetings will only be their regular pri- vate ones, but they are watehing out for the union interests IA the time. Notes of the Army, Yesterday morning, Colonel Henry, in- spector of the rifle | ce of this de- partment, accompanicd by Lientenant Greene and Lieutenant McKceever, of Fort Laramie, and Licutenant Corcoran, of Camp Pilot Butte, went to the Belle- vue range to make arrangements for the holding of the departmental rifle compe- tition which is to begin « August 1. Captain Erns infuntry, who is to h; charge of the camp on the range was also present. The order directing the removal to Fort Assiniboine from kort Russell has been revoked, and until further notice, the doctor will remain at Fort Russell. Colonel Henry 1s daily recoiving sub- seriptions to the list suggested by him to give small money vrizes to all the com- petinz soldiers in the coming department division, and ingwshed marksmen competitions, The amount now sub- seribed is considerably over $300.
