H.T.CLARKE'S LITTLE SCHEME Gofting Signors to a Petition Undor False Pretenses. A CLEAN REAL ESTATE JOB. Tearing Down Omaha for Itdividaal Profit—A Warning to the Peo- ple — What General Orook Satd. Hold the Fort. Owana, May 8.-To the Editor of Tnn Bre: 1 notice by your papor that the seoro- tary of war and Major Genoeral Sctofield, Wwith other prmy officers, are to bo in Omaha on atour of inspection. I understand that thoy also intend to visit Fort Omatia and the ®ito bolow Betlevue, on which Henry T. Clarke (s trying to have the new fort located. 1 tako it that this 18 to be the turning point on the question whother tho prosent fort shall bo maintained or abandoned for a new o ® Now I thinkelt is about time for our oiti- pous to awaken to the situntion. What will be the effect of abandoning tho present fort and moving down ten milos bolow town?1 Does any sane man suppose that the bonefits Which Omaha has for yenrs derived from social interoourse and trafMe with army ofM- oers and troops will not be materially affected by the proposed change! At present a drive from Fort Omaha to tho postofiice 18 made in a fow mirutes, practically at no expense, Our ¢hurches, our concert halls and socini en: tortainments are always 1iberally patronized by army people. Our retail stores are visited by their ladies nearly every day, and tho common soldier walks into town and spends his money when he has a day off, Will it bo 80 whon they have to travel twenty-four miles ‘back and forth between the opera nouse and new fort. How will they niake this trip! Henry T. Clarke tolls you that thero will bo suburban _trains to take thom in and out of town overy fow minutes, night and day. Humbug! Who's going to pay thelr faro back and forth even if the round-trip costs but a quarteri W subordinate officer, with an iucome of $128 s manth, come to a concort with his family and pay out an extra dollar every timo! Ho can'v afford it, and he will not do it more than once a month. Ob, but they can get passes! Will it pay any railroad to run trains from Omaha to the new fort, oven bourly, when nearly all the pussengers are dond-hoada . “OM,"" roplies Mr, Clarko, *wo are going to bulll up a large new 'town down there, and the peoplo who will go to and come from Omaha will make the suburban trains pay.” Precisely, Mr Clarke! That is why Omaha will bo scrionsly crippled by your scheme. You bave been trying for more than twenty years to build up a rival town down'there, and you have made us any amount of trouble with your bridge schemos, 1 remember very well how Omalia was paralyzed at one time by Mr. Clarke's efforts to jocate a bridge below here. Suppose that be succeeds now in_ gotting that fort located on his land below Bellevue, and he plants several hundred houses on his suburban town, and then a bridge is thrown across the river ten miles below Omaha, wbat will be the effect! A man does not have to look through @ mill-stone to see that this new Fort Omaha scheme cannot fail to do incalculable damage to this city. Aund yet, [ am told, more than a hundred of our business men and bankers have boen induced under false rotensions to sign Clarko's petition to locate he fort on his land. Isay under false pre- tenses, and 1 mean just what Lsav. Mr, Clarke is capable of justsuch work. Oue of the business men who had the nerve to refuso to sign his precious petition tells me that Clarke representel that we had only one choice—we must either consent to the removal of the fort orlose it entirely. Ho assured this man that General Schofleld wus determined not to have another dollar ex- pended in improvements at the present fort and was boot uvon having the fort removed way out west if we made any objection to locating it near Bellevue. Clarke is said to have shown a letter from Senator Mander- son, marked confidential, to sustain his as. sertion. The party suid he aidn't take tho trouble to read this letter, and probably no oneelse did. If General Schofield and the secretary of wur have mado up their muds to move the fort, what 1s the use of that pe- tition, and why ‘should they cewe to Omaha at alit Clarke also claims that General Brooke, the commander of this depart- ment, is heartily in favor of relocating the fort and wants it down near Bellevue, 1don't believe a word of 1. It is true that General Brooke has recommended the Clarke sito, but he has mercly complied with a duty imposed upon him by General M nderson’s bill and designated what, in his opinion, was the most available site offered among competing locations. 1 have met many of our army officers, but I have to see one yot who would not prefer to have the oid fort romain just where it is. General Crook, ho probably knows more about the wants of tho army here than anybody, declared within the last three months'in the presence of a man 1 can name, that “the scheme to remove the fort is ‘cussed’ nonsense.”” As a citizen and property owner, I say It is worse than nonsense. Now Y Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas Ci trying to annex their suburban towns. want to centralize population under one governwout, and make tho best showin when the census-taker comes. [s it oo policy for Omaha to scatter her population and invite the building of suburban towns that will cut into her commerce and roduce her census roturns to the minimum. Mr, 2ditor 1 foel that I owe it to myself and my fellow citizens to protest againdt the reloca- tion of Fort Omaha, and I hope you will pre- sent the real facts of the case through your editorial columns, A Prox! oF 'U8, Surg.

N. Beauvois is a rather short, heavy-set, genteel-looking man of middle mre, with a full, round face, keon oyos and hoavy dark mustache, noatly dressed, and of suave ad- aross. Ho spont last wook ih Omaha, reprosont ing that ho was a special agent of the New York Mutual Lifo Insurance company, and that ho had run up here from St. Louis on a littlo private speculation. He stopped ut tha Paxton, but rendozvoused prinei- vally at the Diamona pool room, and becoming on easy and familiar terms with its many affable attaches and ha- bitues, ke played his money liberaily on both base ball and horses, Last Wednosday, & week ago, late m the aftornoon, ho strolled into the Diamond, and, walking back to the cashier's office, said 1o Mr. White, the proprietor: “Here, Charlie, I dumped mysolf at the other room this afternoon and I want you to cash a small check for me," at the same time handing in through the opening in tho screen whe following check: No. 2127, S1. Lovts, Mo., April 4, 1580, Lacledo Barik. Pay to the Beater or order. N. Beauvois . MevER Bros. & C The check was all properly certifica with the bank's stamp and cashier’s name, A. A. Teates, and Mr. White, assurod that it was as good as so much money itself, counted out the “long green” and handed it over to Mr. Boauvois, who smiled, thanked him, and with the 'remark, “Tought to go broke for going over to the' other house,” walked out, The next afternoon the check was sent over to the Omaha National bank for col- lection, and nothing more was thought of it. Saturday afternoon Mr. Beauvois again appeared at the Diamond, and, informmg Mr. White that he would' require another small cheok cashed, he produced one, tho counterpart of tho tirst, only it was for 300, and handed it to the accommodating propri- etor. ~ White cashed it without suspicion, Mr. Beauvois telling him while he counted out the money, that he hnd insured the elder Mr. Moyer’s life in St. Louis for §25,000. He nonchalantly rolied up the bills handed out by White and_ with a good-afternoon do- parted. That night, he returned to the pool- room and cashed in $50 worth of pool tickets which he had won that day and that was the Inst seen of him at that resort. eduesday morning, the Omaha National bank reccived notification_form the Laclode bank, St. Louis, that the checks were clevor forgeries, and that steps should bo taken for the immediate arrest of the smooth gentle- man who had circulated then. But Mr. Beauvois knew his business, and, when searched for, of course, was found missing. Subscquent investigation revealod that he was joined here Saturday evening by Mamie Varrell, the handsome contralto of the Kate Castleton company, who had come on that day from Denver, and together they had deparied Sunday evemng, presumably for New York. Mr. White hasn't much to say about the affair, but the porter of the Diamond in formed the reporter that he went up-stairs yesterday, after hearing from the bank, and kicked himself all over the room. He will communicato with the New York authorities and endeavor to locate the shrewd scoundrel, but entertains little hope ot recovering his cherished simoleons. Dyspepsia and Torpid Liver. Nathaniel Hyatt, Insurance Department, Albany, N, Y., writes: 1 have been a great sufferer from dyspop- sia, water brash, acid stomach and constipa- tion for the last fifteen months. Some time ago I readin one of Brandreth’s Calendars the case of a gentleman in Albany who was cured of a similar affliction by using ALL- COCK'S PoRroUS PLasTErs. Knowing tho gen- tleman referred to, I purchased threc—one I wore on the pit of the stomach and two on my right side. I wore them a weok, then ook n bath and removed the plasters. I washed the places with cologue, rubbed them dry and then applied fresh AnLcock’s Por- ous Prasters. 1 found my appetite and di- gestion much lmproved in two weeks; in three weoks my bowels became regular, and, after using the plasters for four weeks, I tound myself entirely cured.

Several Opinions Renderod By the Distriot Judges. AN IMPORTANT REALTY OASE. A Buit Growing Out of A $30,0600 Dif: ferencnin the Roports of Aps pralsers—Federal and County Courts. Judicial Opintons. The anouncement that Judges Wakeley and and Groff would hand down several decibions attracted a large Humber of attorneys into court, One of the most elaborate, interosting and important of the Judicial utterances this term, was read by Judge Wakelay in the case of Caroline M. Hunt against Valentine Lipp, in which the title to lot 7, block ¥, South Omaha, is involved. The principal point raised is as to whether verbal contracts for real estate ure binding. Lipp purchased the property from a man nomred fovork, who had a syndicate land contract, but faited to deliver 1t to Lipp. Subsequently, he sold the same lot again to Caroline M. Huny, and gave hor the document. After obtaining this deed Mrs. Hunt sold a portion of the land to other parties, Lipp, of course, protested, and refused to give up possession. Hunt brought suit before a justice for forcible de- tainer and won his suit. The oase was ap- pealed to the district and subMeme courts, and the deeision was sustainud Hunt then instituted the suit here referred to to quiet the title. This time, however, the dotision was against him because cf the fact that the questions raised established new precedents. “Che opinion ef the jurist was very lengthy and eluborate. During its reading Judgo Wakeley made a number of citations from authorities. Judge Groft opened the court and also read a_number of decisions. They were based principally on small cases, and are interost- iug only to the attorneys interested and their clients. The question of compensation as mortea- gee and agent came up in o case entitled Iberlee vs. Bradford, and was decided by Judge Wakeley for the defendant. Some yoars ago the plaintiff ana his brother, who owned considerable real estate in this vicin- ity it seems, having placed a mortgage on the property in_question, abandoned it. One of them absconded, and the other went to his farm in lowa. For years they paid no attention to the property. Bradford took care of it, as though he haa been tho solo owner. He looked after the taxes, collected rents, and, as the city grew, made such im- provements as greatly enhanced its value. After aiso paying off all debts for which the vlaintiffs were responsible, the latter come and demand possession and refuse to com- pensate him for his services. The court held that from a humanitarian standpoint and on general principles, he was entitled to at least 5 per cent,and so ruled in his favor, In the case of McGough vs. McGough, the wife was granted a decree of divorce from bed und board with alimony. Staly agawst Housel, an action for eject- ment tried before Judge Wakeley three L‘nn(-s, was again decided in favor of defen- dant. Martin F. Murphy has not given up his prosecution of the Iirst Methodist church trustees yet. He was dufeated in his appli- cation for an injunction against the letting of the contract to build the new church to Stevens & Son, Lie now comes with another suit in which he prays the court to grant him compensation for his time and talents in preparing and submitting a bid for the work to be performed. He repeats nearly all the statements set forth in his former pe- ition, then adds that the church society in- vended by its proposition, notwithstanding its agreoment, to obtain his figures and uso them as a basis for other contractors, upon which 10 rest their figures 8o as to secure the contract. He also asserts that it was the intention of ~the defendants at the time of their proposition to give the contract to another firm, who are active members of the chu He wants judg- ment in the sum of $5,150. Charles I.

On the grounds of cruelty, commenced very shortly after their marriage, Catharine O'Brien has hrought suit to obtain a divorce from her husband, Edward O'Brien. She says that within three days after the nuptial knot was tied hor husband boasted of his, wayward life and boldly informed her that it was his intention to pursue the same. The wife has suffered very much from his treatment. James T. Barnacle, a plumber, has brought suit against P. R. Pullian et al. to recover $201.95, an amount claimed as due for ma- torial and labor. Mrs. Schofield was before Judge Groft praying for a divorce from her husband on the grounds of non-support. Ixperience Estabrook applied to the dis- trict court, yesterday, for an injunction re- straining Samuel G. and Mary Stevenson from intermeadling or collecting rents in the Istabrook block, at 414 and 416 North Six- teenth street. The plaintiff to the suit claims that on May 1, 1884, he leased the block to Samuel G. Stevenson for a period of ten years, with the proviso, however, that he, at his election, uou\-l terminate the lease at the end of five years, upon giving notice in writ- ing of his intention to do so and paying to Stevenson the value of such improvements as might in the meantime have boen plac upon the property. Arbitrators were to d termine the value of such improvements. On Junuary 50, last, notice of the expiration of the lease was servedson Stevenson. The arbitrators were . appointed and in- spected the improvements. ~ One of them ap- praised the value of improvements at $400. Pho other, who was selected by Stovenson, placed the value at $31,000. The couldn't agroe, and would not appoint a third. Ste- yenson will not give up the premises until the 481,000 is paid. Consequently the plantifi asks the court to determine the matter. The in- junction was granted by Judge Groff, who set the case for hearing May 9. The defendants in the case of Amelia B, Moffatt against Charles A. Thiewann and Katie Stemm filed an answer yesterday to the suit. Mrs, Moffatt, it will be remem- bered, sued to recover damuges on account of the death of her husband, who was thrown out into the cold while delirious with fever. Thiemann had him taken to she old police station at the time without any clothes on and Moffatt's death, it is alleged, resulted from the exposure. His wifo recovered a Judgment in the circuit court for $1,600. An oxecution was issued on the judgmont, and & levy was made on two of Thiemaon's lots in Bowery Hill addition, but before Mrs. Moffatt could get possession of the property, it s alleged that Thic- mann_ transferred them t Katie Stemm, Mrs. Moffatt then sued them jointly. The defendants cialm that the propérty was con- veyed o0 Katio Stemm before the rendivion of ‘the judgment. They emphatically deny that the mortgage was made after tho bo. ginning of the suit, or that Thiemann was sware that such au action for damages would be instituted against him. They also assert that the mortzage was never given to defraud the plaintiff; that 1v was given to sccure Katie Stemm, who is & daughter of Thicmann, for an actual ana bona fide in- debtedness, Judge Wakely issued & tomporary restrain- ing ordor, yestérday, in an injunction suit of Warren Switsler and Lorenzo V.

HARRISON'S DEMOCRATIC WAYS No Bogus Aristocracy About Him-— Bowme Advice to Young Indiana RepublicAns -Mismanagemont at the Corcoran Gallery. Commissioher Tanner Tonched. WASHINGTON, May 8.—[Correspondence ot Tue Bhe)-President Hareison will bo asked to spend some_of his days this sum- wer at a hunting lodge on the Cheat river, inthe mountains of West Virgimia. Thore is good fishing in that region, and a quictude which no offce-sesker ean disturb. The altitude is higher than at Deer park or Onk- land, B Commissioner Tanner runs across soma heartrending cascs now and then in looking over pension applications. 1t is not gener- ally known, but it is_true, that he examines more cases personally, originally, than any examiner in s office, Last Sunday he was in his room at thd Ibbitt, going through his personal mail, when he ran across a letter from a woman. It was massive, and as he thumbed down the corners nnd saw thore were eleven ages, written in close fine hand, s heart sank tithin him and_he involuntarily ex- claimed, “‘Oh, Lord, T oan never read this Then he looked for 'the signature, and as ho Qid 80 he read this closing paragraph : “If the government intends to give mo anything in_roturn for my husband, a father of several little childron, please, Mr. Tanner have it given now, and not lay it upon my’ coftin, The commissioner paused, head, and wroto on the first p ‘The words went to his heart. the fountain of his sympathi of it afterwards he said: “After I got through with my mail I took up this letter and read it from beginning to end. I said to myself that this woman lieves what she writes. No one could puf such words together without an honest pur- pose. While reading the lettar one of my examiners came into my room, and I gave it to him with directions that he.look it up in the morning and report. By 10 0'clock L had asyllabus of the case on my desk and at 11 o'clock a pension was granted to her. Sho ought to huve been given the pension two years bofore, and doubtless would have re- ceived it had the case been examined. Thero ure thousands of these cases on file in the oftice now. The crime lies in tho delay, It is robbry” not to take up and dispose of them.”! scratchod s zo: “Road."

Personal friends of the chief executive and members of the cabinet have solicited it as a personal favor to photographers, but all overtures bave been refused. seneral Harrison and Mr. Wanamaker are cspoc averse to having their photographs displayed in public places. Real estate men” who have talked to United States Treasurer Huston say they intend to find in him 4 shrewd and success- ful investor. Mr, Huston has confined him- self almost exclusively to banking and man- ufacturing at home, but he owns large farms and considerable business and residence property, and has_excellent judgment wheir t comes to gronnd work. Ho intends to buy & rosidence, and 1o try to get ahead in roal estate investments. There is considerablo mouey being made in suburban property in Washington. The treasurer in no sense wclines toward stock speculation. He never reads the finan- cial_reports, and is not interested in the Dbond market. President Harrison’s democratic ways con- tinue to astonish especially the people of the eust whenever they como to Washington. Western men are used to soeing their most prominent characters intermingling with the common herd on all occasions, but_ the Yan- kee is amazed to see the president put on a slouch hat, and smoking a cigar, stroll down the most frequented thoroughfare of the cap- ital, clbowing ugainst people of all clhmes and eonditions, The most popular social stroke the presi- dent has wade was delivered on Eastor Mon- duy, when he called out the Marine baud o amuse the children who rolled eggs in the grounds to_the south of the White House, and when he went down himself with baby McKee tosee the amusement of the little ones. Itis strange that other presidents have never thought of such things. President Harrison reminds old citizens hore very much of President Grant, socially and personally speaking. ~ The two men wore aiways simple in their habits, and_unassumimg in_their per- sonal character. It will be easy for Presi- dent Harrison to get the same hold on the people who come in contact with him that President Grant had. 'T'he last time Presi- dont Grant was at the capital, # fow months before he was taken to his bed with his fatal sickness, he rode up to the capitol on a three cont bob-tail car, and alone wandered around the corridors of the House of Rep! sentaiives, never making himself known, As he went to the senate he was recoguized by an oid friend in that body, and they walked up to the south entrance to the senate chamber, General Grant told the senator that he wanted to see some ono in the senate, and modestly stepping hack to the great old clock which stands in a niche immedintely in front of the senate chamber, he reclined against the wall for some time, waiting the outcoming of his friend. His slouch hat was drawn down over his eyes, and ho silently puffed a cigar. He was recognized by but a few of his old acquaintances, none of whom spoke to him, not having secn him for o long that thoy doubted his ability to recognize them. Ex-Senator Palmer, who soon _sails as our minister to Spain, expects to return to tho United States and rcmain a yoar or fifteen months. He will be welcomed baok by overy one who knows him personaliy. While he was passing down newspaper row bidding his friends good-bye, he stopped at the bureau of Tur BEr, and when he said “Adieu, senior, he added, seriously: Let me see. ' A year froin next September will be about eigliteen months. Make it in round figures fifteen months, and you may expect to seo me back in the United States, 1 would pather grub sage brush on my farm near Detroit, and eat corn pone in my lo, cabin, than 1ivo i the casties in Svatn and make salams to her king. 1 presume Spain will offer me some amusement for a fow montbs; but after that my duties, although not natiraily onerous, will be irksome, and I will want to get back, if* for no other rea- son, to cure a taiut of Homesickness.” More than a dozen’ active young republi- cans who nave come here from Indiana dur- ing the past fortnight to socure appointments have been advised by old heads from that stute to g0 home, enter into the reorguniza- tion of Lhe purty there, aud take their turn in the new deal, ‘With General Harrison, ex-Governor Por- ter, Colouol John C. New, Hon. W. H. Cal- kins, General Shackelford, Attorney-Generag Miller, Mr. E. W. Haltord, Hon. J. N Huston and John I Dille, who have oeen given places and taken out of the state, and probably a dozen more well-known republican organizers und work- ers who will got ofice and leave Indiana, the reorganization for 1590 will be an abso- lutely now set of men. United States Treasurer Huston will make o fight for the legislature next year, with a view to succeeding Senator Voorhees, Gov- ernor Hovey announced when he was io the cawpaign Last year that he would never ask for his oftice ‘agan, and be could not run twice in succession if he desired to, and hence thore will be an opening in the govern- orship for Attorney-General Michener in the next gubernatorial campaign. It is expected that the young men, in Ohio known in vul- gar variance as “‘the kids,” will jump to the | front and control the conventions and eloc- tious. Undoubtedly the astute young republi cans of Indiana who have volitical aspira- tions would do bevter tinancially snd io svery other particular Lo stay at home and get into the new organization than they would to take fedoral appointments. The ost desperate strugglo is to be made 1o clect a wajority of the legislature next year. A coucerted effort will probably be @mude by art studonts of Washington who have had Roceas to the Uorcoran art gallery, inst the arbitary and sohseloss rulings of the board of managers of the institution. The aim of the philanthropist, William Corgoran, the founder of the mallery, was to mid stu' aents and to do all in his power w0 advance the study of art in the eapital of the coun- try. With this end in view he always gave g 1o the gallory to those wishin to copy the bictures f""“ml thers, and secmed to be as much pleased to havo repro- ductions of the costly works ho had col: lected, leave the building, as ho did to place new pieces on the walls, J It wis riot possibio that he dould dntici- pate that upon his death the board of mann. gers should adopt another policy and that his gallery Would becomd Yo a large extent closed to students, it has nover been con: sidered advisable that students should make copies of originals equal in_sizo to the pic: tures copied, for which Feuson (ho Fuls has always prevailed that three-folirths of the original is the maximum size. This ruling interferes but little with the work of artists, but within the past several wepks the mana gers of the Corcoran gallery have reduced the size of pictures which may be mado to one-half that of originals, Which practically cuts off one-third of the works there from belng reproduced at all, as no proper concep- tion of the studies could be had from such tiny canvasses as compliance with this rulg would make, and the disappointment caused thereby can be understooa whon it 18 known that amateurs are ot equal to successt attempting the larger and moro diMcult pic= tures that adorn the walls, "The only excuse given by the managers for their ruling is that thero is danger of 80 mul: tiplying desirable copios that they may in time compete a8 parts of other collections with the origihals at _the follery, and e they may in time be passed off a8’ tho origi- nals. Boesides this restriction they have limited the number of copies ah_ artist may make in a yoar, to four, and have done wh ever possible within thoir power to discour- age any copying at all, Just how the art studonts can protest suc- censfully against these unjust rulings has not yet beou decided upon, but if there is any way possible to have them revoked no effort will be spared to aceomplish it. The chiof of the bureau of navigation ot the navy department has given an order to have eloctric lights put on the new war ships, Miantonomoh, Monadnock, Petrel and Vosuyius, for which congress' has ap- propriated 55,000, This improvement in fitting up of our ships,” said one of the most prominent of- ficers of the department, *can hardly be ap- preciated by those ubfamiliar with the old man-of-war. I can recall the grense lamps which were the only weans of lighting used in our navy at one time. 1have gone on the berth- deck where they wero burning and 8o fotid ‘was the atmosphere I could hardly stand the stonch. When the sailors would turn in these lamps would be blown out, and then they would smoke for au hour or 'more, and when battened down at sea the condition of the berth-deck was horrible, and its cffect was casily shown on the men. They were piped up at 6 o'clock, given ten minutes to do up their bedding and begin scrubbing down docks, and the consequence was that thoy all had swelled heads and folt ugly, and be- fore the morning was over we invarlably had half a dozen fights, aud some of them pretty tough ones, t0o. “Now all this is changed. We don’t have one fight in the navy where we had a hun- dred twenty yeass afo, und it is stinply tho result of treating sailors like human beings, piving them decent place to sloep in and attending to their comforts. ““Tho borth deck is now well ventilated, and the electric lights do not_contribute to fouling tho air. Jack is called up at § o'elook as of old, but instend of having ten minutes to get to'work in, hulf an hour is allowed, and in that time he is served with coffee and biscuit, has sufficient time 10 ut his bedding up and'gocs on deck feeling rational and like aman,always good-natured,and doos his work with a will, h, the modern improvements are a great thing for the navy."
