Two reckless individuals were run in last evening for fast driving on Broadway. One of them was a gontleman of color, who was driving a broncho to a sulky, and seemed to labor under the bnpression that he was in a running race. He continued to belabor the animal with the whip after Ofiicer Thomas seized it by the vridle, butfthe officer was too much for him, and he landed in the hole. The vags are having any amount of free rides at the expense of the cities of Couucil Bluffs and Omaha.

As soon as coralled. by the authorities of the other city they are promptly fired back agamn. This game of battledoor and shuttle- cock is all very well for the human missle, but the puzzie is to find out who wins the gume, The committee having charge of the deco- rating of the graves of ola soldiers for Memorial day request all widows or friends of deceased soldiers who know of any un- marked graves to report the same to Com- rade McFadden, who will be in Fairview cemetery every Sunday morning for the re- mainder of the month for that purpose, It is desired that no grave be overlooked, and friends are urged to assist in the matter by giving all the information in their power. The latest pasture ground upon which cer- tain owners of hungry bovines have seized to herd their stock, is Fairview cemetery, Several animals browsed there leisurely and undisturbed Suturday night and yesterday morning.

The demand for a watchman is by 1o means surprising or unreasonable. Yesterday was not a very busy day at Manawa, as the weather was rather too cool to make a summer resort especially attrac- tive, and the majority of those who visited the lake were drawn there by the ball game between the Union Pacifics and the Gar- neaus, Ttiere was quite a number of people who visited the resort during the day, the motor trains being well patronized, but the crowd was constantly coming and going, very few of the visitors spending the day at the lake. Work on the cut into Fairmount park is progressing very satisfactorily, and barring any unforseen accident or delay, will be com- pleted by the appointed time, the 25th of the present month, By to-morrow nij the ‘work will be half done, and the driving of Bilel to support the bridge over the cut will e commencod.

T. J. Maclkay de- livered a most practical and interesting dis. course upon ‘“I'he Uses of Sin.” As a text, he used the records of the acts of Peter in his denial of the Savior, his repentence and fealty to the work of salvation, and con- trasted them with the acts of Judas, who be- trayed Christ, was stricken with remorse, came and threw down the thirty pieces of silver in tne temple, and then went and hanged himself. In preface, the speaker alluded to the scientific fact of the indestructability of mat- ter; that whatever is, coutinues forever to be in some form. He curried this law into the spiritual world, inferring that the re- sults of sinful acts go on forever; as moral forces are taken up by our own and other lives and made parts in the great moral con- flict going on 1n the world. ‘T'his would be a direful thing but for the fact that God con- stantly wars against the evil and ultimately overcowes it. ure bears everywhere the ravaves of de and death, butout of it comes a greater beauty and a more symmet cal life. So the sins of hfe are, by natural moral laws, transmuted into the beauty and greatuess of the truest character and noblest life. 'The question “How caif we best trans- mute the evil into good ¢ led directly to the subject propos Pejer sinned in denying the Master. After the crucifixion, he went back to his fishing nets and became a truly repentant man, When Christ arose from the dead, He went directly to Peter, who was about his work, and asked him thrice the searching question, ‘“‘Lovest thou Me?’ Peter unswered truly, “Lord, Thou knowest all things; Thou knowest that Ilove Thee.” This sinful act of Peter had shown him as nothing else could have done the sinful terdency in the natural heart of the unregenerate Peter. Henceforth - he could better see the dominaut sin of his own heart, and by constant watching and prayer the better serve the Master. Judas was not_repentant. He was filled with remorse. He did not struggle against the evil of his nature, but allowed it to take full possession of him, and he did the best thing possible when he went and hanged himself. Had he lived he would have been a curse to the world, and his removal was for- tunate, to say the least. Every man has sinned, He has teken into his heart the seeds which, if allowed to re- main, will fester and produce a sore which will eat out the good and make the mau a moral wreck. Repentance will eradicate the evils und by this they will prove to have been a blessing to the m; ‘The difference between morse was developed at has no place in God’s plan. It is not a sav- ing element. The latch string of God’s house is always out, and whosoever will may come. If we have been great sinners in the past, come to God by repentance. Do mnot brood over the sins committed, but go out with a strong faith and purnose and make a noble character, which shall win the appro- val of God and’ everlasting life beyond the grave. Use the sins we may have commit- ted as stepping stones to a higher and better living.

A's nearly as can bo learned the situation is practically unchanged in the past few months, ‘The officials of eastern lines all profess a desire to see @ new union depot near the center of the city, but state that connec- tions must be made with the Union Pacitic. If the latter company will come into the schome and help build the new structure, all well and good; but il it prefers to mamtain its present location at the transfer, the other roads will not go into a union depot project and pay heavy rentals at the transfer at the came time, In that case they would prefer to build local depots, as they urge that there is no object in having two union depots and run to both of them.

The air at the Manawa Athletic park was full of snow flakes, yesterday afternoon, and they flew around the beaten h of the base ball diamond in a manner truly astonishing. They were not the cold, chilling flakes of winter, but, on the contrary, a lot of genu- ine, midsummer, hot-weather bunches of hu- manity, that Joseph Garneau had christened after his famous Snow Flakes, but it wi no means a cold day for them, The o was their first appearance this season, were m to be ‘They astefully uniformed in blue and whit and presented a very pleasing appearanc under the captaincy of MeKelvy.

My grandfather, after many years successful practice as a medical man, retired to a quict residence in South Kensington, where he was free to in- dulge his taste for everything plensant in literature, music and botanical in- vestigation, says a writer in the Boston Globe. Every New Year’s eve it was his custom to invite the few members of his family, and half a dozen true and tried friends to dine with him, to watch the old year out, and welcome the advent of the new. Ten years ago, that is_in the year 1878, we all stood round his din table, hand clasped in hand, wa the st stroke of the midnight chimes, As the last sound died aw. my grand- father’s mellow voice started the famil- iar “Should Auld Acquaintance pe For- got.” and it must be admitted that we all made a tolerable noise in the chorus The last guest had departed; the ladies had retired, and the half dozen of us who were privileged to stay all night drew our chairs to the side of the table nearest the fire. ‘‘One more cigar,” said my grandfatner, ‘‘ana another small brew of my old student punch.” The fragrant liquor was ladled into and pronounced to be excel- lent. “*Now, who will tell us one good story before we go to roost?” somebody i i 3 ‘“fiction or truth, no matter fiction can be stranger than trath.

His clothes were found on the sands, his family went into mourning, and his mother died of grief. He had insured his life in two offices, and the money was paid to his father. Now the sneak has turned up in San Francisco, and by order of Sir James Hannen the money has to be returned. It’s my helief that all these mysterious disappearances are swindles and impositions.” y of them are. undoubtedly,” grandfather. “T have known \l very strange disappearances in my time, Some people have a morbid vanity intent on creating a sensation. They hide in some obscure street or re- mote village, and their delight is to get the newspapers and read the appeals made to them in the agony columns. All mysterious disappearances are not however, frauds I knew of one very early in my life, which shook my nerves for years. I have never yet recorded the facts, tearing to give pain to survivors, Itis now more than forty yeurs ago, and those who might have de- tected the leading character in my nlu?' have long been dead.” “ft was in the year of the Queen’s coronation, and London was full of visitors, who bad come up from the country to enjoy the festivities and wit- ness the illuminations. A gentleman in the vigor of middle age, the vicar of arich Yorkshire living, arrived with his wife and two daughters in London, and engaged a suite of rooms at the excellent old hotel now known as Woods', in Furnival’s Inn. The even- ing was advanced when the coach set them down in Holborn, tired and very hungry. They dined at 8 o'clock, and the ladies x'el(‘rml after coffee at about 10 o’clock. The vicar enjoyed a glass of zood port wine as much asany man, and he soon found out that the butier of the hotel knew how to suit his palate excel- lently well. He sat up alittie later to finish the bottle: to finish what was afterwurds admitted to be his second bott! That, however, was only moderate drinking forty years ago. in the morning the lady and her daugh- ters met at the breakfast room at 9 o'clock, and the waiter was requested to-det the vicar know that breakfast was on the table, The waiter did not know the vicar’s room. ‘Ask the chambermaid,’ said the lady. ‘My husband knew we were all (au‘fued with the journey last night und did not wish o “disturb my rest. The chambermaid will know theé num- part of | ber of his room. was summoned. Che chambermaid had never seen the reverend genueman; she did not know him. The same answer was given by the whole staff §f chambermaids. It was clear that the vicar had not slept in the ho at all, 3 *'The distress of the ladies ean only be imagined. The kindest of husbands. the most loving of fathers, and justly proud of his accomplished and charm= ing daughters—what evil had befallen him? Every room was searchod, as the officials of the establishment, looking at the matter with the cool deliberation of some past experience. thought it pos- sible that suicide or sudden illness might explain the mystery. **In the meantime the head boots had made an extraordinary communication to the manager of the hotel. About 1 o'clock on that morning he had seen a person leave the side door of the house o man very shaubbily dressed and wear- ing a gray cloth traveling cap. He was walking somewhat unsteadily across the square, when hoots stoppad him and turned him buck, suspecting that he might have robbed the hotel or some of the inmates. To his astonishment he found that the apparent stranger was the gentleman who had arrived with his family that evening. The was highly amused at being susp of petty larceny and explained th wys alwnys his custom when in town to change his clerical dress and visit tho Strand and Haymarket and Pieca- dilly, so that he might sce life in Lon- don as it wae, both high and low. He begged the boots to say nothing to the rest of the servants, and sent him to the bar for two glasses of brandy and water. The boots th went with him to the Holborn iron gates to guaranteo his respectability to the beadle; other- wise, irom his shabby appearance, the junitor might have refused him read- mission. The vicar then crossed the road in the direction of Chancery lane, saying that he should be back not later n 3 o’clock. This would not incon- ence anybody, as the boots and watehman were always up all night. £'On the portmanteau of the missing man being éxamined it was found that he had not only left in a dressing room his suit of black broadeloth, hat and gai- t but that he had changed his linen ‘vefore leaving the hotel, and it was supposed had procured and was wearing underclothing which was w mark by which it could be recogn For days and even weeks the search was continued. Ivery drowned body floated in the Thames or left by the tide was closely evamined. The Bow street runners, prompted by the offer of u large reward, were indefatigable in their industry. Inquiries at the emigrant ports were as futile as adver- tisementsin the Times. The man was as completely lost as if the varth had silently swallowed him.” “The art of photography was then in its infancy, and the vicar had been missing several days before any por- trait of him had been issued. Then an idea s expressed that as he had al- ready had one apoletic stroke he might have had a seizure in the street and been conveyed to some hospital in a paralyzed condition, A drawing was then made from a full length oil por- trait which had been presented to the vicar by his parishioners, and this being engraved was sent to all the hos- pitals, to the police stations in the town and to many in the country,and to various places of public resort. The likeness represented him asa tall, well- proportioned man, dressed as a digni- tary of the church, with low-crowned hat and black gaiters. He had a florid complexion, a large aquiline nose and piercing black eyes; his hair slightly tinged with groy.” “While nll this was occurring at the hotel in Furnival’s i 1 was a student at S then opposi Guy’s, in the borough. My princip: study was in the dissecting room, as it was my ambition to become a candidate for the gold anatom dal. One morning I found a fresh t’ on the table, so well developed and presenting such a splendid specimen for nice di: section, that the students eagerly claimed the various parts of the body for which their names were entered in the porter’s register. The demonstra- tor in anatomy informed me thatthe head and neck of the subject were re- quired for the public lecture, and in- trusted me with the onerous duty of dis- secting those regions for the clas: The skull, T found, haa already been opened and the bran removed. By this I knew that the corpse had not come from any convict prison, or workhouse, butfrom the ‘dead house’in the hospital, On inguiry I was informed that the man had been brought to the hospital by the police at 6 o’clock in the morning from a house of the lowest description in the Water- loo road. He v totally insensible, and died in the course of an hour; the cause of death having been found, on a post-mortem exumination, to be an enormous clot of blood from ruptu an artery at the buse of the brain. usual rules under such circumstances had veen fully complied with. A notice of the death of an unknown man had been placed on the hospital boards, and friends and relations requested to claim the body. Three days heving elapsed without” any claim being made, the corpse, according to law and custom, had been couveyed to the dissecting room. “Phe next morning the naked subject was on the table of the anatomical theater, and the lecture commenced. As the lecturer proceeded he hesitated, paused once or twice, and emed strangely embarrassed. A feeling of uneasiness also prevailed in the class If any man ‘have any feeling of his bu ness and cun sing at grave-making,’ it is the medical student; but my hand trembled as had occasionally to move the slab of the revolving table in order to to get a stronger light. It was the dead man’s eyes that unnerved us all, They were wide oped, black bright and staring, and, with, the face half dis- sected, the eyes seemed al ‘Good God,” suid the lecturer, ‘can’t you close the man’s_eyes? No, throw a cloth overthem. No—gentlemen, we'll resume the lecturé to-morrow.’ “That night I had to work late in the dissecting room,the anatomy of the head and neck requfting care and skill, especially when intended for exhibi- tion before the gritical inspection of rival fellow students, It was nearly 11 o’clock and I was quite alone, dissect- ing by the light of au oil lamp placed on the breast of the corpse. 1 ¥u with difficulty drawn the eyelids down, and kept them closed with a piece of sheet lead. A dozen bodies, in various stages of dissection and decomposition, were on tables around the room, thrown into fitful shadows by the dim glare of my solitary lamp. I had worked in this way many & night before, and the thought of fearhad never once oceurred tome. Now I was in an unaccountable state of tremor and agitation, my heart’s action intermitted and labored under an enormous ssure, The night was warm,but 4 cold atmosphere seemed to surround my frame. I shook as with an ague, Once or twice I glanced vound. I felt that I was not alone; that some awful presence wasnot far distant. I could bear it no longer, ‘*This is cow- ardice and nonsense,’ I gaid aloud, and closed my dhsecting with a loud snap in order to recall and reasure my courage. At that moment I heard a deep sigh, a groan close to my ear, Then a form became gradually defined before my eyes, standing at the head of the table. A tall, black phantom of a man, the same gray hair,the same face, the piercing eyes closely arding the face of the dead. .\anci(u?
