The WKevelation of Young Wood- ward's Career—A New Legisia- tive Candidate—A Oty Hall Hint—FPersonals. The Mayor's Veto Overridden, Touching the mayor's veto of the recently passed grading resolution, and the manner in which it was snowed under at the last meeting of the councli, & short quotation from the laws of Towa may bo in order. It will be remembered that the mayor an- nounced that the vote to kil the veto car- ried, and then denled it the next morning, on tho ground that four votes did not constitute a three-fourths vote, which, ho alleges, is quired by law. The law touching tho matter 18 as follows: If the mayor of any city of the first or socond class shall refuse to sign any ordi- nance or resolution after iv has boen passed by the council of such city, he shall call a meoting of such city council within fourteen days after the passage of such ordinance or resolution and shall roturn the ordi- nance or _resolution to them, with his reasons for refusing to sign the same. Upon the return of the ordinance or resolu- tion by tho mayor to the city council they may pass the saue upon @ call of yeas and nays by not 1ass than two-thirds vote of all the members of said council over the may- or's veto, and the clerk or recorder of such city shall certify on said ordinance that the samo was passed by a two-thirds vote of {he council and sign 1t ofticlally as clerk or city recorder. But if any ordinance or resolution fails w0 obtain at least a two-thirds ma- Jority of all the council elected, of such city, after being vetoed by the mayor, then such ordinance or resolution shatl be void and ot 10 cffect.” 1t looks very much as if the mayor was in- differently posted as to the law governing the veto of the municipal executive, when he declares that four votes out of six is not the necessury numbe s St s Eiseman's New Emporium.

Recent developments 1n the case against ‘Wade Woodward, the young man now con- fined at the county jail under indictment for forcery, tend to place him in a very unenvia- bie light, and his prospects for a speedy restoration to liberty are anything but prom- ising. In view of the numerous statements made about him it is very difficult to say when he first -departed from the path of honesty and rectitude, but 1t 1s quite certain that nis downward steps since that time have been neither few nor far between, It is as- serted that had ho been contented with forg- ing checks, pawning borrowed property, giv- ing n checks on banks where hé kad 1o deposits on which to obtain money, or sundry other similar means of peculation, ho might yet be outside prison walls, as sihce his arrost other parties thun those interested in the case on which he is indicted have been voicing their complaints, and the aggrogate swells to such proportions that the prisoner may well feel worried as to what the future may have in store for him. What led to his arrest, or more properly speaking, what led to the grand jury’s inves- tigation of his case, was his ungrateful con- duct toward the firm of Parks & Son, by which he was employed for soms time as head clerk. It is stated that during his con- nection with this house Woodward systemat- wally robbed the money drawer, and also stole a revolver belonging to the firm from the store. He admitted his guilt in the latter instance, and promised to return itas soon us a friend, to whom he had loaned it, brought it back to him. He failed to do so, though repeatedly setting a timo for its re- turn. It now transpires that the weapon had been pawned, and Woodward had failed to redeem it at the expiration of the specified time. Under such circumstances it 18 not surprising that he soon severed his connec- tion with the establishment, It was then that he went to Omaha, where he visited the mercantile agencies and wholesale houses and advised all creditors of Parks & Son to look after their accounts, as the firm’s lia- bilities were far in excess of their assets. He prepared alist of creditors and the amounts due each. These amounts were made about three or four times as large as the sums really due, and naturally aroused the creditors to nstigate an investigation. The mercantile agencies, of course, had ro- ceived like reports, and Parks & Son would doubtless bave been driven 1> the wall but for a small circumstance, when Woodward forgot his cuuning. 1In his list of creditors, as presented to Meyer & Raapke, theamount due this firm was increased in the same ratio as others. The house saw that this wi wrong, and it was thus discovered just what was in the wind, What Woodward’s object could have been is unknown, unless the hope that driving the firm into bankruptey would lessen the chances of their huving him arrested and sent to juil for larceny. Aside from this ex- planation, the wmove must have been prompted by a vicious disposition, It now develops that a short time ago ‘Woodward purchased a gold watch from a certain young lady living on First street, agrecing to pay for it atthe end of the month. The watch, which was valued at $60, he pawned, and the rightful owner has never ceived a cent for it. Aside from this num- erous forged checks have come to light, but oodward redeemed ths greater part of them. They were cashed by J. L. Forman, ears & Haig and several others. The one shed by Mr Forman purported to be signed by Thomas Clark, aud when it developed that it was a forgery Mr. Clark wanted to prosecute the case, but Mr. Forman was charitable and refused to give up the check. Several others mourn various losses in which they were victimized by Woodward, but have little hope now of recovering any- thing, Woodward's friends are greatly as- tonished at the rapidly accumulating charges, and those who were rather inclined 10 doubt at first, are now satisfied that g fairs are taking a propex course, “The I"'amous" cash bargain house, 200 B'y Sl s feri e Dr. Murphy,optician, room 216 Merriam bik. mevler s Western Lumber ana Supply Co., 18th and 14th streets and 2d and 3d avenues, carry the largest stock of lumber, piling pole,ties,lime, cement and building material in the west.

If they vote for ' a city ball tney will nov feel like voting for a bridge right away, The carrying of the city hall project means the putting off of the free bridge project.

Prouty, second assistant priocipal in the high school, handed in his resignation Friday evening to Mr, Schoent- gen, of the school hoard, It was an inter- esting item of news, but as a matter of fact it did not take plac It had all been nicely planned—on one side, but the other side failed to connect. The article referred to also stated that a young gentleman named Hyatt, a graduate of tho Michigan univer- sity, had been elected to fill the vacancy and would commence his duties on Monday. The fact is that for a long time a certain opposition has existed poward Prof. Prouty, and it was predicted before the teachers were elected that he would be left out in the cold. Superintendent McNaughton was not altogether pieased with him, Mr. Schoent- gen was opposed to him and Mr. Hunter was ready to acquiesce in his dismissal. But this did not freeze him out, although he was cut from principal to secoud assistant.! The election did not finally settle the matter, as has now transpired. With the coming of Prof. Stevens, the new brincipal, more trouble was iraugurated, as Prof. Steveus says that Prof. Prouty is try- g to prejudice the pupils against him, and the upshot of the matter was that Friday evening Prof. Stevens handed him a note from Mr. Schoentgen, requesting his resig- nation to be filed immediately, aud to go mto effect at once. 'The resignation was not ten- dered, however, as Prof. Prouty wants a hearing before the board before he takes any such action. He has letters from the other teachers in the high schoo!, stating that they have seen nothing that would lead them to think that he jvas trying o prejudice the pupils against tho principal, and that their relations with him have been most pleasant. Prof. Prouty evidently proposes to hold onto his situation, unless more than two members of the board unite in the demand for his_dismissal. "The matter is creating quite a little stir among interestod L and the result will be eagerly watched. =D Swauson Music Co., 335 Broadway. - Winter & Mouroe, sign painters, 416 B'wy. e o ., 538 Broad way. >, B. Musie ( THE BRACELETS. How Two Daring Thieves Robbed an Austrian Duchess. London Bxchange: 'Ttwas during the palmiesy days of the empire. Never was Paris so gay: in fact, it was the fete duy of the emperor, the last lickering blaze of his greatness ers his glovy de- parted forever. All Paris knew that he would grace the opera that nightand add to its usaal lustre the glittering pompand circumstance of power. Ac- cordingl all that portion of Paris which had the necessary number of franes went to the opera, and, in honor of so great an occasion, M. Blauvais, the director, was to produce ‘‘'La Prophete.” The overture was over; the emperor, accompanied by the empress. radiant in her beauty and glittering with jewels, had just entered the royal box; his suite, uniformed in every color of the rainbow, stood grouped in the back- ground, In another moment the bell would tingle and the opera commence. But in an instant of time, when every sound was heard, the second box to the right of the emperor was opened, and the curtains were drawa aside and re- vealed the lovely wife of the Russian embassador, Duke Metzkerwitch. No wonder that the bell tinkled un- beard and the curtain went up un- noticed; no wonder that every eye was fixed with a fascinated gaze upon the wo- man who had just taken hersecat,and was ealmly and with well-bred nonchalance glancing about the house; for upon her arms blazing like beacons, sparkled the diamonds of which Paris had heard so much, and which royalty in vain had long sought to purchise. A hum of ad- miration ran through the house, and then for the first time, the enchanting streains of the chorus were listened to. ‘When the curtain fell upon the first act a servant wearing the imperial liv , presented himself at the Russiun ssador’s box, rapped only as an oy could rap, and then en- el imperial flunk tered the box. “Her majosty had noticed the brace- ets and was dumb with admiration; would milady be 80 gracious us to allow the empress to make a personal exami- nation of the bracele In an instant the fuir arm was shorn of its gems, and with a smothered ejac- ulation of delight the man wearing the imperial livery bowed himself outof the box, bearing the bracelet that a million of francs could not purchase, The curtain fell upon the third act, ascended again on the fourth, the nodtes of the finale rolled through the house, the curtain for the last time, and still, with well-bred politeness, the wife of the Russian embassador waited for the return of her priceless jewels, The imperial party rose and departed, und yet the bracelet was not returned. Then the duke, with a terrible frown of im- }mtiunme, vose and drove rapidly to the "uilerics and demanded the return of the diamonds. Explanations followed, and the duke was at last convinced ‘that thé empress had never sent for the bracelet, and the man wearing the imperisl livery was one of the daring thieves who infest the capital. He bade his coachman drive to the prefectof police, and ere daylight a hundred of the shrewdest officors were searching Paris for the gems. The duke, filled with anxiety, remained at the office for tidings, while the duchess waited thie recovery of her diamonds at home! The great clock had just tolled the hour of 6, when the bell of the duke’s house rang violently, and an ofiicer of the police was ushered into the presence of the duchess. “Was the bracelet recovered?” and “would they imprison the scoundrel for the rest of his days?”’ eugerly de- manded the duchess. With a grave bow the officer stated that the thief was taken and upon his person was found the bracelot. But the ellow stoutly insisted that he was not a thief, and that the bracelet in his pos- session had been in his family many years. Would madam intrust to him the mate of the missing bracelet, that the identity might be complete? Madame the Suchuu. without a word, unlocked her caskoet und p'aced in the hands of the trusty officer the second bracelet. The officer, with & profound bow, left the apartment, and madame retired once more—this time to sleep and to dream of her precious diamonds, When the bell tolled the hour of 9 the Russian embassador, hageard and dis- orderd, entered his wife's apartment and threw himself into a chair. Madame opened her eyes, and, with smile of delight, asked for the bracelets, “'Satin!” exclaimed the duke, ‘‘we can learn nothing of them.” “What!” shricked the madame, ‘‘have you not recovered it? The oMcer who came for the other bracelet said the thiel had been taken and the brace- let found;” The duke, with an e amuzement, sprang to his feet, and in a husky voice besought nis wife to ex- plain. In a few words she told kim, And then with a groan the® duko dropped into a seat. “Isee it all,” said he; ‘“‘the rascals have robbed you of the second braceiot. The man to whom you gave it was no officer, but a bolder thief than he who robbed you first.” And 5o it proved. The bracelots wero never returned, and the Russinn em- bassador recalls the fete day of the fallen emperor with a sigh, for it made him a poorer man by millions of francs than he was when he handed hischarm- ing wife into his carvinge and bade his conchman drive to the opera. ettt GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH clamation of A Writer Who Thinks Mr. Wanama- ker's Plan Not Feasible. It is admitted by officials at the post- office depiartment that they have been working on some of the legal and prac- tical questions connected with the gov- ernment_control of the telegraph, vet many sides of the question seem to have escaped their attention, says a Washington special to the New York Herald. The postmaster general will probubly hesitate to recommend a strictly government telegraph system because of the large deficit which would appear if the service were oxtended as generally as the postal service. It is well known that the telegraph sorvice in Englund under government management hasshown a constantly in- creasing deficit, and has vesulted in lit- tle difference in rates. If the service cannot be economically conducted in 80 compact and thickly settled a coun- try us_England with & permanent and trained force it would scem that the ex- periment in this country weuld be even more di: rous. There would be a con- stant struggle between the political in- terests which demanded an extension of the service to unprofitable localities and the glaring deficit which such a policy would create. There would be a great many practi- cal difficultios with the plan credited to the postmaster-general of having the government enterinto partnership with the telegraph companies for the deliv- ory of messages through the postoflice Of course there will be no responsibil- ity on the part of the government for its share in handling the messages, any more than there is handling rogistered letters and paying money order If a dispatch miscarries through the negli- gence of a letter carvier or messenger there will be no redress for the sender or receiver, except that he may have the satisfaction of secing the carrier discharged. So loug as the telegraph company has charge of the transmission of messages it can be held responsible for errors, but delays even oceurring in its own of- fice will ve hard to locate when the re- sponsibility is shared with the govern- ment. The opinion is cxpressed by those, familiar with the free delivery service that the carriers would be of Jit- tle use, except in dehivering night mes- sages, which are subject to aelay, and which could be taken on the first morn- ing delivery. Mossages which de- manded immediate attention would have to be handled by the special de- livery messengers, who now deliver letters with the 10 cent stampafiixed. It might be possible to divide dispatiches into two cl at different rates, one to be delivered by ies and the other Dby special messengers It is geuerally believed, however, that Mr. Wanamaker’s new scheme of paternalism would prove elumsy in its operation and lead to endless confusion and litigation. The vil servico re formers, whether advocates of central- ization or not, will be certain to oppose any proposition to increass the num- ber of offices under the coutrol of the postmaster general so long as they aro distributed according to the present plan. Some of the advocates of a postal tel- egraph argue that the opecating serv- ice would be so technical in its charac ter that the places would not become the spol of party politics. This mi prove to be the case when the s had been for a number of years under the government control and there was but one employer to apply to. But for some time to come there would proba- bly be operators enough of both parties clamoring for place to furnish the mo- tive for frequent change. The public nature of telegraphic messages, unles written in cipher, would also place a dangerous power in the hands of the dominant party if the service was pros- tituted to partisan end Livery, Sale and Hua;ding St«jjhle ). 1 Rigs tolet atl any part of the city.
