The Wabash Creates a Flurry in Local Railroad Ciroles By Mak- ing Speotal Rates to st Louls. The Minns Fund. Vice President Holcoinb, of the Union Pa- eific, with reference to the allogad misusage of the hospital fund, said: ‘“There is not a word of truth in it. Any individual con- cerned in the assossment having & knowledge of figures can come at any time and inspect the records. We have notaing to keep from the general knowledge of the employes as ro: gurds th \disposition of tho fund in any and eviry particular.

THE WABASH MAKES A BREAK. The Special Kates to St. Louis Said to Be Unauthorized. Local railroad circles wore considerably agitated yesterduy concerning an adver- t pment of the Wabash to the effact that on Baturday next tickets, ons fare for the round rip, would be plaged on sale, entitling the purchaser to transportation from Omaha to 8t. Louis and return. The announcement was made over the name of the general agent of that road at this point 1t was openly asserted by rival representa- tives that the agent in quostion usurped the authority of making the announcement. and that neither the Wabush nor any other line had as yet any right o place tickets on sale, inasmuch as the rate had not beeu author- ized by the Western States Passenger usso- clation. The ofcials of the Wabash at the headquarters of that road denied that any such rate had been autborizod, and a tole- gram was recewved from St. Lows stating that they had informed the competitive lines that such was the cas: General Agent Clayton, of the Wabash, whose nume appears 1 connoction with the anncuncement of the one-fare rate, declined to offor an explanation. The reprosentatives of the competitive lines state, ho if the Wabush acts arbitrarily they will do likewiso. To Be Abandoned. The matter of discontinuing the half-hourly suburban train service botween Omuba and South Omaha, on the Union Pacifle, is now being considered by thoe officials of the com- pany. Since thetrains havo been in opera- tion the patronage has been fairly good. But owing to the motor company’s competition the opinion prevails among the off a division of the traftic by an incoma insuflicie eration of half-nourly trains, It is thought that they will be abandoned in a few days. The Knight Templars' Conc The Burlington will rua a special train from Omaha direct to Washington to con- vey the local Knight Templars to the tri- ennial conclave to be held at that placo. The train will leave here as first section of No. 2 at 8:15p. m., to-day, and be com posed of a baggage, coach, dining-carand three Pullman slecpers. 1t is thought that the Omaha delegation will number ubout one bundred. The California delegation will arrive here this morning.

PRIMARIES AND WARD MEETINGS. A Great Making of Speeches and Pulling of Wires—Doings of the Clubs—Working Up an Enthusiasm, Colored Republican League. The representatives of- the colored race throughous the city, to the extent of twenty- five, mot in the police court chamber last night for the purpose of organizing a colored republican league. The meeting was calied o order by P. J. Willams. The temporary organization was effected with Dr. M. O, Rickotts as chairman, F. L. Barnett was chosen secretary. R. Overall addressed the meeting on the purposes for which the organization was brought about. “This is a_move,” he said, “for the purposs of vindicating the pro- visions of the coustitution. If this be the medium of bringing about a reform in our laws, and 1 think that it is, 1 am one of its most hearty supporters. And, 1n speaking. let me rofor to an action that blots the fair name of the United States. A short timo ago an individual was appointed to a foreign mission by tho highest authority of this government, and, because African biood coursed through his veins, he was basely subjected to insults such as no party, no race, should countenance. This has boen passed over as a mere coincidence, and if no body of men representing our race takes up this 18sue, this organization should con- sider it an imperative dauty, and urge that fair treatment be given the colored man as prescribed in our laws. We meet here to-night to foster our cause, and by working in harmony we may be uble to help each other in more than one way, and let us (‘Alwlne:iuc that a benefit to one is & benefit to Al Price Saunders dilated to some extent on the colored man in politics. He stated that, while he had been a life-long republican, he had arrived at the conclusion that the col- ored man should adhere to party lines only 8o far as his own conscienco dictated. Indopendent ecloments, in his opinion, were instrumental in accomplishing a great many things. The republican party, he said, had done a great deal for the negro, and 1ts party vriuciples merits consideration by every coi- ored voter. A. H. Willis took up the condition of the colored voter in the south. He suid: “We have a broad question to consider in our own beball. The con- stitution of the United States requircs three-fourths of the states to pass upon amendments to that document. We suiould urge upon congress to remedy this system. With the solid south arrayed against u: impossible to procure the required t fourths, and the ravages and bioodshed of the south will go on.” Alfred Barnett believed that reformation should be first brought about at home. Ho id: “We have a civil rights law Nebraska, but it is inoperative.

A Tale of the Revolutionary War by Baward Everett Hale, Those of you who have had grand- fathers or great-grandfathers who wero taken prisoners of war when they were cruising in American privateers have heard, [ do not doubt, of the prison of Forton in England, Sunny Hour. It was in this prison that the American prisoners taken at sea were kopt. And a very hard time they had of it until Franklin was at last ablo to arrange that they should be ex- changed for prisoners taken by Jones and others from Bnglish ships. One of the prisoncrs remained there cighteen months or more, was Captain Lee. of Marblehead. The privateers of Salem, Marblehead and Beverly were the terror of all Englishmen who sailed upon the scas; but in some adventure, which I need not tell here, Captain Lee, of Marble head, was overmatched, and so had been carried into England with his crew and was imprisonod at Forton. Exchanges were not then easy, for the English government had not at first de- cided on its course about exul\.mgu%. Ono day, after poor Captain Loe had lingered there more than a year and a half, he was called to the door and told a gentleman wished to see him., L s gentleman ln'u\od o be a man of military air, who took Captain Lee into a cornerand pre into his Lkand. pri- vately, a purse, which proved to contain soventy-five guincas. With equal privacy he said to him that with a part of the money he must buy. before night, from some of the attendants, the dress of one of the prison workmen,and that when the relief came around, he must be in an out-of-the-way place, where he could fall in with the relief in the twilight and pass outside the prison proper unobserved. ‘‘But to go out of the whole inclosure,” said his friend, “you will noed to know the counter- sign.” And so he whisperea to him the countersign of the day. Capiain Lee asked who it was to whom he was in- debted, but the stranger would not tell him, All fell out just as this good fairy had said, Some loafer among the workmen was not proof to the temptation of a fow bright guineas, and as night came on Captain Lee clothed himself in the suit of clothes which he had bought. He fell in with the relief and no one ob- served him. He came to one and another sentinel who challenged hym, and he ‘approached and gave the countersign!” He passed out into the dark town, and there he was puzzled about the street, when he met again his friend of the morning. This gentleman congratulated him on his liberty, put him into a carviage which was in wait- ing and sent him to a seaport, whence ne could take passage for rance, The whole experience was as groat a wonder to Captain Lee as if the stran- gor had been anangel sent from heaven, as in a certain sense he was. Heaven is very apt tosend as its messengers the persons who have been moved by kind- ness done to them. It proved aftorward that the myster- ious stranger was no less a person than Geueral Burgoyne. He also had been a prisonor of wi Whilo he was at Cambridge, in Massachusetts, he had been undor the immediate rharge of Colonel Lee, who was Captain Lee’s brother, When Burgoyne was ex- changed he had promised Colonol Lee, for whose kindness to him he was grate- ful, that he would render any service in his power to the prisoner at Forton. Colonel Lee had intrusted to him the 86’ ty-five guinens which he had de- livered to Captain Lee, and it was he who had whispered vhe valuable coun- tersign to him, S— Ohamberlain’s Colic, Oholera and Diarrh®@a Remedy, This medicine can always be depended upon, not ouly in the milder forms of summer complaint, but also for malig- nant dysentery and cholera infantum.

Blanchard,the English dramat- ist, whose death has just been recorded, was some eight years ago at the Arun- del club, when an old friend observed to him: “Blanchard, I am seventy to- day, and am now abie to tell you, as a firm admirer of David Garriclk, n story associated with my birtnday, When T was u little lad, six or seven years old, I was playing with my hoop on Adelphi terrice, where you now live, when I ran against a very old ludy, who was tot ing along on a stick. 1 was begging her pardon, when she said, ‘Littlo boy, did you eyer hear of David Gurrick? " I re- plied in the negative, and she went on: ‘He was Ingland’s great actor and my husband, and the friend of Dr. Jonson and the illustrious Mr. Burie You will hear of him in the future, and af, when you reach seveaty instead of seven, you meet any one who remem- bers him with respect, give to him from me, as | now give you, the blessing of the widow of Davia Garrick.’ And,” continued the friend, “‘that day having now come, I pass, Blanchard, the Land- shake and blessing to you.” [t was with considerable dramatic point that this story was told, for the study in which it was narrated had once been oceupied by Garrick bhimself, and his death-mas] was a prominent object in it; and 1o lovers of literature it will seem strange that there was living in London ouly yesterday one who was removed by & single handshake from alady, who, as Boswell attests, had more than once en- tertained Jonson und Burke atthe board | of ber illustrious husbund, Trans :HOSPE: 1813 Douglas Street, Omaha, Nebraska. and W holesale D Yellow PPine.

Bailding: Overrun pSPets, The Exposit With tho Oneof the rem > features of the oxposition year in Paris hus been the scourga of fleas, which huve taken un- compromising possession of all stran- gors arviving from parts of the world where the fleas aro mot so previous, says the Paris Register. No Parisian can ever be got to admit that the fl are born here. Th come from Puy de-Dome, from Boissyles-Vaches, or be brought here by the Arabs and Algeri- ians at the exposition, but the f that public vehicles and hotels swarm with them, is inconceivable to him. Tn the United States ‘‘the wicked flea when no man pursueth” sticketh unto the yellow dog and vagrant cat, but in Paris his iship disdains any kind of game but a writhing human vietim, The flea of 1889 is asagle asa chamois, and he skips gleefully from one square inch of cutancous territory to the next, the flesh rises behind him in tall welts as big asfifty-cent preces. These wounds do not heal with time, but are red and angry for at least a weelk, and one small but wetive flen can produce them at the 1o of one minute. Paris may officially deny the existence of 1l within hep 15, but a chiorus of American suffer- ors at the exhibition and elsewhere will readily attest.
