The annual ball of the Omaha fire depart- ment at Exposition hall last evening was all that could be hoped for. The weather was auspicious, the music splendid, and the crowd immense. Over 1,200 persons were in attendance, and there were more dancers than the hall could accommodate.

Howe, and United States Attorney Pritchett, who are encaged pro ana con, in the Motor-Horse railway-Cable company in- junction suit, occupied front seats and looked savagely at each other. So many continuatiors have been had, motions made that remain unargued, petitions, answers, bill and cross-bills, afidavits, counter claims and other documents filed, that the matter has fallen into an almost bewildering en- tanglement.

Lovell, Grand Rapids, Mich, Goodman Drug Co. A RUSSIAN OTHELLO, Cincinnati Enquirer: The Chateau “de Villac was ablaze with light and res- onant with music on the night of the 25th of October, 1874, The haute volee of Sauturne sur Marne, of which prov ince the castle was the pride and glory, was assembled there to pay its respects to the young viscount, who that day reached his majority. The lower halls were ddvotcd to the peasantry, while the grand salon and recention and drawing room were thronged by the bourgoise and elite. The clock of lhe village church had tolled the hour of nine, but still carriage after carriage dashed up the broad allee and stopped at the main entrance, disgorging the belles of the neighborhood, attended by their cavaliers. Stately dames, too, and stiff-frilled gentlemen with gouty pro- pensities were not wanting. Count de Villac’s hospitality had become prover- bial, as he entertained with the lavish brilliancy of a courtier of the time of Louis XIV. No wonder, then, that the invitations to the viscount’s birthday ceiebration met_ with such general re- sponse. These invitations did not alone embrace the nobility of the neighbor- hood, but extended even to Paris. De Villac counted his friends by thousan®. Although since the estab- lishment of the republic he had retired from public life, he was stili in corre- spondence with some of the most famous men of France. He was a proud noble—proud of an ancestry which he could trace to the reign of Charle- magne—proud of his own achievements of the sword and pen, proud of his vast estates, and prouder still of his only son, Hector, Viscount de Villac. To the obser this pride and affection for Hector seemed justified. for, as he stood there beside his father and mother receiving the incoming guests, he presented a perfect picture of a c alier. He was taller by several inch than his father, who was of medium height,and his broad shoulders,massive chest and well-poised head whould have served a sculptor for a model. A small black mustache adorned the upper lip, and when he smiled he shm\'ml a set of teeth a woman might have envied. As guest after guest walked toward the group Oformed at the end of the vast apartment to greet the host and hostess it looked like the levee of royalty. *The Countess Milakoff,”” announced the usher in stentorian tones. eye was turned to the door. was on tip-toe to see the bearer of name which had created a stir in every portion of Europe, from Monte Carlo to St. 1’01\:‘=burg. A sweep of rustling silks was heard in the ante-chamber, and the next moment the Countess Milakoff entered the salon, atiired in glistening, shimmering white silk, and wearing a tiara of diamonds in her hair and & necklace of gems about her swan-like throat. Had her pres pended on her beauty, she would have carried off the palm against the world. Imagine, if you can, the idealization of Dante’s Beatrice, and you have a pic- ture of Camilla, Countess Milakoff.. Her figure was regal, her carringe ma- jestic. That crown of blonde ringlets encireled her nead like a halo. Those oyes of liquid fire could subdue a Civsar, and those lips, when they smiled, gave a foretaste of paradise, Add to these charms wit, intellect and a total scorn of the world’s opinion, which led her into a thousand extravagances, which sometimes even shocked the indulgent cirele of her own sphere, and you have a dim conception of the fair creature before you. To some of the gnesis she was personally known, to 6thers only by reputation. Rumor had given the latter sufficient ground upon which to build a collossal fubme of startling escapades.’” *Well, well,” the old dowager was heard to remarlk, as Camilla was lost in a group of gallants, eager to lead her toward the count, who was himself ad- vancing. “The countess seems noue the worse for that little jeu at Morrte Carlo.” **T heard something about it,but noth- ing definite, Henriette,” said the lady addressed, “*but tell me about it.,’ “Nothing much: Milady lost 100,000 rubles in one sitting, got up,and handed her fan to Vendome—you knew Captain Vendome? Frontiac, who was standing by, poor fool, got jealous, met Vendome after he had seen my lady and to her carringe, insulted him. They fought next morning, and Frontiac fcll on the first shot. Milady snubbed Vendome. After that he tried todrown his love in champagne and rouge et noir, and eventually blew out his brains.” Tho two gossips would perhaps have indulged in some more entertaining confidences, but just then Camilla, on the arm of Hector, approached. **My dear countess,” exclaimed the dowager, rising to greet the new- “what fortunate chance brings you into the wilds of Sauturne?” “*Ah,” replied Camilla, with one of her most charming smiles, *when one has such dear friends as the Duchess D™Alaine and the De Villacs a trip to the North Pole would be well re- paia,” **You sweot flatterer,” answered the duchess. *‘Permit me to introduce to you my very best friend, Madame Mel- choir, wife of our procurer.” milla reeeived the introduction 'll).'l'ncu{ul bow, ~hen the duchess ded: BBut whore is Monsieur Comte?" “*My doar duchess, the comte feels awkward in a dress-coat.

The last T heard of him he was ‘somewhere in the wilds of Russia with & hunting party, but that is three monthsago. flnt Isee that I am monopolizing the viscount, and I must_really take him back to his friends.” Hector, who'had taken no part in the conversation, was roused from a reverie into which he ‘bad unconsciously fallen by hearing himsell adaressed. ~With a blush he uttered some inaudible words and extended his arm to the countess. At each separate group the couple stopped, exchanging those courtesies which meafi 85 Tittle, yet help to pass the time. F'rom the last group Hector turned with impatience, “Will this tiresome round never ce ¥ he whis- pered to his fair partne “‘Hush, Hector, you might be over- hoard,” samd_ Camilla, giving her cava- lier a tap with her fan. [ don’t care if the whole world hears me.” “Foolish boy! TLeave me now; here comes your father. L'll go to him. in a half hour my presence will be forgot- ten apd then your patience will be re- warded in the conservatory.” Hector was about to reply, but the ap- proach of the count closed his lips, and, with a bow, he took his leave. The ic j then struck up the “Blue and Camilla, on the arm of the count, made him forget his age in the mazes of the waltz. Hector did not dance. He was a prey to a thousand conflicting emotions. Jealous even of his father, he devour ed Camilla with his e time she swept by him, and when he canght her glance in return he was in Elysium. At Iast the dance was ended; and Hector in all haste nearcd Camilla before any other of her many admirers could rob him of her.company. *‘Viscount, for heaven’s sake take me to the conservatory. The air and adula- tion here are stifling,” said Camilla, as Hector drew near. ‘“And the older cavaliers are worse than the young,” she added, casting a coquettish smile upon her late partner. “Beauty rejuvenates age,” returned the count, gallantly, *‘Take care, Hec- tor: the sun of beauty is too dazaling for untrained eyes.’ Hector for answer offered his arm to Camilla, and together they walked into the conservatory. Neither spoke a word. Hector felt Camilla’s arm trem- ble on his own,and hisheart threatened to burst with suppressed agitation. When they reached a_recess formed b; a mass of orchids and palm trees Hi tor could control himself nd longer. With a passionate oatburst he threw his arms about that fair ne and drawing Camilla toward him showered kiss upon kiss on those willing lips. Ever and anon he would hold her at arm’s length and silently gaze into her eyes only to again print a kiss more rapturous than the last upon her. Thissilence was more eloquent than words, and told the deep passion of his soul which shone through his eyes. At last Camiliasank upon a rustic bench standing near, and Hector seated himself beside her, hold- ing her hand'within his own. Her heaving WBosomr betrayed the emotion within, for this was the first time in her life that Camilla Countess Milakoft was.in love! She was the first to break the silence. “Hector, why did we ever meet?” and she sighedl as she spoke. “Why (llucs destiny play with human hea 1 **My darling, you have answered the question yourdelf,” answered Hector. “It 15 destin We are impotent against its decrees.” **But what - must be the end?” and Camilla gazed-into vacancy, as though with that gaze she could rend the veil of the future. **Come, my love. The excitement of your journey from Paris has made you nervous. Why lose yourself in useless speculation? Destiny will shape the end, and whatever our fate, our love will sustain us.” “Love founded on guilt! repeat, would that we had never met! Should ilakoff ever discover our secret I shudder at the consequences.” ““Milakoff, that ponderous shadow over my life, does not love vou,” answered Hector. “His dull brain conceive nor fathom our Hector, T **Ah, but you forget, Hector, that Mil- akoff purchased me as his ancestors bought their serfs. He is jealous of his property and his name.” Attempt to wrest the one from him, or tarnish the other, and the Russian character is aroused, and he would stop at nothing. I never was timid nor stood in awe of him until now. Now that I love you, I would tremble at his frown, fearing that it betokened harm to you.” Camitla, trembiing at the dangers her own imagination had conjured up. threw her arms about Hector as if to shield him from the imaginary evil. A sudden noise of approaching foot- steps stopped Hector s reply, and Jean, the viscount’s valet came in sighv. “*Monsior de Villac bade me inform you and the countess that the Comte Milakoff arrived fifteen minutes ago,” he said with a bow, returning as quickly as he came, My God, what does this mean,” mur- mered Camilla, and immediately she lost herself in a thousand conjectures why the count should appear at suc time at the chateau, when she belic him miles and _miles away. What ob- ject was there in this unexpected visit when he n cared what she did or wherd she went. Her prophetic soul divined a purpose in this unaccountable event and she was seized with a thou- sand alarms, She was aroused from her stupor by Hector, who grasped her hand and said: **Camilla. this is folly; Milakoff is pursuing a whim and not you. She made no answer, but took his arm and together they walked back to the sa- lon. As they entered they saw Mi- lakoff talking to Count de Villac and Monsier Melchoir. And as Hector looked upon that wman, hall savage, whose shaggy beard, lowering eyes. retreating “brow and squa figure the tailor’s art could not even improve, he smiled, mockingly to himself that such an obstacle could stand between him and happiness. Their absence was scarcely noticed in the throng, and their reapperdnce in the salon seemed 1y unpreceived. The few feet that Togtor and Camilla from the trio was sgon, traversed, and Milakofl turned his head just as his wife brushed his coat slegvey “Ah, madsane, your pardon for intrud- ing without , permission upon your pleasures,” he.said, with a bow which made his usual awkwarduess more con- spicuous. “But your maid Nanette, whom you left behind you in Paris, telegraphed me ye v of your in- tended visit to the chateau. anette telegraphed you!” Iated Camilla in alarmefl surpri “If the viscount will pe tinued Milakoff, for the f knowledging Hector’s presence, an ironical grin, I wish to communi- cate important news to you,” and, bow- ing to the other gentlemen, he pre- sented his arm to Camilla and led her to an aajacent drawing room, whose closed portieres hid them from view. Hector wandered from group to group, sand minutes seemed like ages. Just as the musicians were prepaving to strike up, two distinet pistol shots rang out clear and startling upon the ears of the guests. The nounfi camo [rowm the drawing room, accowm- ' ejacu- anfed by the sound of the all of a heavy body. With a mad rush Hector made his way forward, but the Count Mensieur Mel- choir and several others were before him. Asthey drew back the portiers a sight met their gaze that rivited their fect to the floor and made their eyes almost start from the sockets. On a divan which stood at the further end of the room lay Carmlla. Her hands were clasped as if in supplication; a stream of blood flowing from a wound in the re- gion of the heart stained the white, silken robe. Almost at her feet lay Milakoff, the smoking revolver clutched in his right hand, his eyos staring at the chandelier which cast its bright rays upon the horrible scene. A gap- ing wound near the temple showed the direction of the sowuu‘ shot. On the floor lay a number of letters which Hec- tor recoguized as his own, and although his mind was almost_frenzied and only by a superhuman effort he restrained himsel! from throwing himself upon his dead love. The instinct of the official aroused Monsieur Melchoir into action, and he asserted his authority by clearing the room. Monsiour Luvois, the magistrate, who was also one of the guests.assisted the procurour, and togetlier they took charge of the A servant was dispatched to the gendarmerie, and two officers responded t the eall. Hector would not listen to reason and had to be removed from the room by force. The restof the guests hurried from the house as quickly as ‘yrnpl'iu! would permit, discussing with bated breath the tragic eveunts of the The Count and Countess de Villac were almost beside themselves with grief, and Hector, under the sur- veillance of his trusty valet, was pacing his room, tearing his hair, and moaning as if his heart would break. The following day a coroner’s jury solved the mystery of the double tragedy. The letters were produced, and showed the haison of Hector with the Countess Milakoff. Hector himself was put upon the stand, but could not be forced to answer the questions put to him by the examining official ,and he was dismissed. The chiel witnoss was Paul. the confi- dential valet of Milakoff, who told how Nanette was in the employ of his mas- tor as a spy upon the countess, and how the maid had abstracted the latters from a secret drawer of madame's writ- ing-desk. Ho also threw light upon the beginning of the attentious of Hector to madam when they first met in Paris, about a year before our story opens. The closing scene of the drama are soon told. Hector was pre- vented from taking o rash step only b; the utmost watchfalness of the se ants. The Count and Conntess'de Vil- lac felt the blow that had fallen upon their house most bitterl, and the au, once the rendezvous of gay s silent as n cloister. Hece- cene of his youth u month after’ the tragedy, u brokenrheurted man. and when last heard of had joined a party of travelers on an expedition into Afriea. At the clubin Paris of which Hector was a member a dispatch was received about a r after the above events from the governor of Al- giers stating that Hector de Villac had died of swamp fever in a small village on the borders of the Nile.
