A ROAD 10 YANKTON, Good Vrisnects Fora Northern Con- nection For Omaha, Nionrana, Neb,, Oct. 1 |Special to Tue Bek. |—1ug Bee correspondent has during the pust summer promised a connection with Omaha before the end of the year. Thut promise now looks as if iv might be fulfilled, providing no unforscen event occurs to mar the prospect. The ertizens here have left no stones unturned, and the late decree of tho supreme court reverting the grade of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad company, together with other lands, 1o the original owners, has at last brought rvelief in the Niobrara & Sioux Reservation railway company, the articles of which appeared in Tuk BEE during the past week, 1t proves more than a_paver railroad, and tho county commissioners to.day called for a special election to be held in November to vore $5.600 bonds for Niobrara precinct. The company agrees 1o construct and operate the road 1n connection with the I'rémont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley road, which now terminates at Verdigris, twelve miles dis- tant, in consideration of the above amount of bonds, right of way and depot prounds at Niobrara. ‘Ihis assures Omaha of that much desireld outlet it has been erving for, and there is now no excuse for Omana’s efforts to reach outinto the Dakotas for new territory. Omaha, however, has much prejuaice to overcome as far as Niobrara itseli is con- cerned, for the success of this entorprise has been entirely local. aud the people feel that Omaha, outside of T1e Bek, has not lifted a finger for the velief of this section.

THE UNION DEPOT PROJECT, Conditions Under Which the Peopioe Will Voto on the Question of Alding the Scheme— Other Matters, The Connceil, The features of tho council mooting last night were Mr, Ford's plea for political purity, and the presentation of ordinances on tho Union depot and viaduct schemes. ‘The last named feature is provably the more important; but it did not creato any- thing like the surprise that was occasioned by Mr. Ford's innovation. He presented it in the form of the following resolution: *“That the committee on grades and grad- ing be mstructed to investigate by what authority Michael O'Brien, a forcman under the strect. commissioner, could lay off his men last E'riday to attend to the democratio primaries with ordors that if they did not vote a certain ticket they could mot work any more for the city.” The resolution took the mombers of the council 8o completely by surprise that it was adopted without questien, Mr, iord ex- plained his action to a reporter by sayving that on Friday the twolve men who wero working under O'Brien were laid off at 2 o'clock und sent to the Third ward primary election and wold to vote against Kord, or they would not be allowed to work for the city any more. Mr. ord said he was in favor ot purity in politics, and he wanted the matter investigated. ‘The special committee on the union depot and viaduct matters reported an ordinance in wecordance with its instructions.” The matter came up in three soctions. The first two ordinances instruct the mayor and Atvin Saunders to convey to the Union Pacific ratlway company and the Omaha Union Depot company the right and ttle to certain real estate in_ the city, which arc to be used for the union depot and groudns, The third ordi- nanco proviaes for®he submission to the people at the regular city election of the propo sition to donate £150,000 to aid the Union De- POt company 10 the construction of the pro- posed depot and viaduct; the bouds to run twenty years and to be issued when the Union Pacific and B. & M. sign a $200,000 bond to build the depot and viaduct accord- ing to plans already agreed upon: also the bond of the Union Pacific Railway company in the sum of £200,000, axreeing to allow all raiiroads ceutering at’ Council Bluffs to lave access to the depot over the Union Pa- cific bridge. The ordinances were referred :n the comunttee on viaducts and the city at- orney.

Another ordinance amending the inspection ordinance was presented, provid- ine that herealter the walls of ail buildings shall, below the surface of the ground, be built of stone or brick laid in cement or wor- tar. Tne ordinance also provides for the character of the brick, sund and other mate- rial for use in buildings, and that no building hereafter, churches and gram elevators excepted, shall exceed a greator height than ninety feet above the street level, “unless built of incombustible material. ‘The ordinance also provides that uo me building shall hereafter be moved nnless worth 50 per cent of the original value. ‘The ordinance was roferrad to the committee on public roperty and buildings.

The board of public works presented an abstract of the bids for paving fhirtieth and Bristol and other streets on which the county commissioners have agreed to pay the cost of intersections, Mr. Waeeler did not want th contrac approved as it was too late in the se: son to bewin work. Mr. Kaspar urged the approval of the awards so as to take ad- vantage of the county’s ofier. He was afraid that therc was a string ou _the commission- ers’ agreement to pay for ashare of the work, and the new board of commissioners might withdraw 1t if the con- tracts went over until next sea- son. The coutracts were u od. The city attoruey’s recommendation of & reduction of Mrs Catherine Gentleman’s taxes was approved. The board of education sent up a notice that the city hus not yet paid the board the $10937.50 awarded as damages for the opening of Park avenue to Farnam streot, The board intimated thut nnless tne cash or its equivalent was not fortheoming the eity would be enjoined from taking possession of the proporty.

The lower grade of Freiich play- wrights, who fasten on the sensations of the hour for the subjcots of their plays, have found a congenial and profitable topic for dramatic treatment in the murderous exploits of Jack the Ripper. The play of “Jack 'Eventreur,” which is now being performed at the theatre of the Chateau d’Eau in Paris, is the work of Messrs, Xavier Bertrand'and Louis Claivian. As might be expected, a play with such a hero is full of blood~ curdiing, double-distilled realism, but the leading dramatic critic in Pavis— Francisquo Sarcey—considers it worth attention in his thentrienl chironique in Temps to the extent of two colugas. The first personage w2 are intrbduced to in the drama is 5ir Robinson Brown, chief of the New York police. That the New York chief consiuble should have a titular preface to his name is only in accordunce with the peculiar knowl which a Frenchman has of anythi outside of his own count And wh more natural than that Sir Robinson should go to study and get points from the magnificent police system in Lon- don? It is not quite certain whether Sir RRobinson is sent by New Yorlk or by the government, but "the dramatists evi- dently think t in any case there is v little in Ameriea outsido of Now York. Siv Robinson is particularly anxious Lo know how 5ir Stevens man- ages to arrest, try, and hung seven criminals in as many days. “It's the simplest thing in the world,” says Sir Stevens. I have a squad of girls in the force whom T pay to become the mistresses of the erimindls and then hand them over to us.” SVopy ingenious,” 1emarks the chief of the New York police. *Iut can you always find women to do the work.” “['should say s0. See, herve is a list of tho names of the last seven eriminals hanged and of the women who caught them.” And the theatrical represents tive of Superintendent Murray took note of the namesof the women and their nddres He obtained other val- uable information from Sir Steveus ana then bade him good-bye. ir Robinson was not gone ten min- utes when another visitor sent in his card, which also bore the name of “Sip IRRobinson Brown, Chef de la Pohice de New York.” Another Sie Robinson is shown in and isdescribed asas a* Yan- kee tres raidectun peu grineheux (very ugly and a little disagrecable, Sir Stevens is naturally astonished at the appearance of the duplicate Sir Robin- sou, but that gentleman s “ler is the proof that I am the real Sir Rob- inson,” and pulls from his pocket a doc- ument which establishes his identity, and explains the objects of the commis- sion on which he is t “par le gouv= ernement.”’ Healsoexplains that when he landed in Kngland he wus scized by a **band of brigands,” who carried him to a cave and stole his money und some of his papers. It turns out now that Sir Robinson No. 1 is Jack, who is not yet the Ripper, but is the caief of a set of thieves who “lodge under the bridg of the Thames.” 1t was seven of his squad that had been captured by the polico and executed.

Botrand and Clairian, have made « brilliant im- aginative study of social lifo in London. They have always kopt in view the fact that they were writing contemporary history as well as melodrama, for the averago Parisian takes his ideas of for- eign countries from the stage. To the redit of the dramatist, however, it should be added that they have boeen realistic enough not to let the London police cateh Jack. He isshot by a luna- tio who exclaims as Jack falls: I have saved old Kogland!” - Characteristic of D Hotmes. An entire want of rev nce for evorything which is not naturally and rationally worthy of reverenco is shown by Dr., Holmes, says & writer in the New England Mugazine. The demo- cratic charactoristic of his mind mani- fosts itself everywhero in hisbooks; and it makes him a radical in religion, as it makes him a radi; in moral convie- tion. He will not accopt as true that which has no othor claim but antiquity, or that which has no other claim than mere authority. ‘Chis tendency somo- times makes him too iconoclastie, and it sometimes makes him strike too hoavy blows at the nareow creeds of men; but it is a genuine part of tho man, and a part of his democratic oquipment. He will accopt what is good beeause it is good, but for no other rea- son whatever; and this s the essence of the democratic coneeption of man. At the same time Dr. Holmes hus a thor- ough-going faith in character as the basis of all that is manly. He does not count men as of equal worth morally or spiritually: but manhood, wherever he finds it, and of whatever true quality, he respocts and honors. Ho earrios his conviction of the wortn of manhood so fav that he says, “Wo 1 confidently trust that wo have over us a Being thoroughly robust and ndly mag nanimous.” He will not even believe in God us acting the tyrant or piaying the autocrat, £ gt Her Baby Born i Court.
