Lawyer Van Etten paded With a Mrs. Turklo McBoyle wants the city of Charge of Embezzlement—The Omaha to pay her the modest little sum of Conoyer Suit Against the Union Pacific. The Whisky Trust. The potency which it was thought was ex- ercised by what is known as the Distillers’ and Cattle Feeders' trust is not generall; understood and has in_some instances been overrated. At present all the distillers in the country which have felt disposed to con- nect themselves ywith it have done so. There are still several houses runuing in the state of Ohio besides four others in differeut parts of the country, not including the Willow | Springs Distilling company of this city which it is believed is now undergoing the the' mnecessury preliminaries, to be- come allied to the pool. All thy distilleries arein the west, namely,Gi. T, Barkerand | the Great Western Distilling company of | Peorin; Hamburg Distilling compuny, of Pekin, and the Nebraska Distilling company, of Nebraska City. These houses are favorably located as any in the lmlml States, and, it is claiw can make and sell 0ods as cheap as uny house in the trust. esides these it is understood that ther other western houses y to start wh ever a profit shows itsc the manu ture. Until all these houses are o sted with the trust, good whisky financiers claim the trust cunnot be a success, and no divi- dends can be paid. It is stated that the trust is already hampered, because it is under heavy expemse, while an outsider is "mot so greatly handicappe All_ that the house now outside of the combination representation on the board of trustee: h to them scems reasonable, but whi seens, cannot be granted, because, it is claied, there are thing: behind the seree investigation and public trust instrument under which the combina- tion is working was sccured from the Stand- ard Oil company. According 10 it, a value is 'lhll'l'(l on each distillery by the trustecs. This valuc is absolute. The distiller has no chance to uppeal or arbitrate. He is not al- Towed to know what his neighbor’s property is valued at. He has no means of knowi whethes he is being treated equitably o A fund must be raised for a working ca and to raise this certificates a sued. In this i the opportunity of the St rd Oil company. The latter can buy the certificatos, advance the money at u rate which no_person not a trustee may discover, but which rumor reports to be four o one. It is claimed there is no limit to the certificates which these trustees nay i for is there any knowled completed, the capital stock w 5 amounts have been mentioned, and they range from 40,000,000 to $200,000,000. In view of the fact it is claimed that $5,000,000 would pay for every dis ¢ north of the Ohio, and 1,000,000 would give a fund of £30 for every bushel that can be operated, the sums mentioned above are either watered or inflated. The trustees of this gigan- tic undertaking are seM-appointed. . Nobody has had u voice in selecting them, and they were ready for business when they received their instrument from the Standard Oil company. Those who have been whee- dled into the combination entered, it is claimed, almost without a word of explana- tion, parted with valuable property and re- MHed' implicitly upon the food faith of the trustees. It is claimed, even now that ce tificates are now afloat as numerous as snow flakes. Their value seems doubtful, because the trust is not compelled to pay dividends, and no dividends can be declared until all the distillers age connected with the enter- prise, hnd still, there is no means of driving all of them in. It is known that where two parties are equally well situated one can buy grain us advantageously as the other and an attempt to freeze an outsider out by low prices would not, it is thought work satisfactorily because the J tempting would have expenses which the outsider would not. - A BIG C()lll'()ll ATION.

Yesterday morningsWilliam Butt, a grocer at 2502 North Thirtieth street, swore out u warrant for his arrest, charging him with the embezzlement of $172.30 on the 1st of August of the present year. In the informa- tion it is alleged that Van Etten was em- ployed by Butt as his attorney in the collee- tion of a number of accounts, and that Van Etten did collect the svm specified and appro- priated it to his own use without so much as ever accounting for it {n any way. An oftic was dis od for Van Et with instruc- tion to bring him beforo the polive court with- out delay.

Conoyer, jr., vs.the Union Pacific Railroad company, was begun before Judge Dundy yesterday. This is a suit for §25,000 dam- ages, and has been in the courts for the past threo years or more. The damages are claimed on the grounds of an accident, wherein the plaintifft was permanently in- jured by Dbeing run down by a train of cars belonging to the defend- ant company at the Tenth street crossing, between Marcy and Mason strects, on November 24, 184, Young Conoyer, it *is alleged, was driving down the street in a dog-cart, and reaching the crossing he was delayed by the switching ef a lot of empty freight cars. | The flugman, whose duty itis to maiut his post at the crossing and signal trave'arg when o cross the trucks, at this time was riqin& on the cow-catcher of the switch engine. The engine had ust bavked & numper Of CArs across he satreet, when the flagman backoned young Conoyer and the drivers of seviml other teams that had been stopped to come ahead, The plaintiff’s was the last of the | & three or four vebicles, and ho had barely got ten upon the first track when the switch en- gine backed in front of him, and he was com- pelled to pull up. While in'this position one of the regular trains bore down upon him ui.- signalled by either whistle or flagman, and be fore it wu ible for him to_extricate Lim- self from perilous position, his cart wi |uuck knocked over and . .drug- for a Qlstance of seventy-two feet, to- with the bo{lwhole foot had become | od in one of the wheels.

County Court. THE COMMISSION KEPORTS, The commission appointed some time ago | by Judge McCulloch to appraise the damages | aceruing to the Lininger & Metcalf company | by the appropriation of their property by the Omaha & Republican Valley railway com- ! pany, has reported that the £15,000 they had settled upon as a suficient recompense to the company and had been accepted by them from the railrond compan, ATIORSE The attention of Judge McCulloch was oc- cupied yesterday in listining to the evid in the suit of Josiah Rogers vs. George Sam- ple. The matter refers to a horse deal, o the court room was -redolent with u live stable perfume during the progress of the trial. The Police Court, Viola McFarland, an inmate of the house at 107 North Twelfth street, had H. J. Me- Nullis, foreman of Armour & Cudahy's packing house, arrested for stealing a dia- mond ring. The case was investigated, and was found to have been no theft atall. The woman had loaned him the ring and th all there was in it. McNullis was release and \' mlu required to pay the costs.
