: | i | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1SS, 4 THE ROLE OF NANCY SYRES. Besayed in Wretchedness and Crimo by Nettie Mull. AN ALLEGED ACCOMPLICE, The Consort of Jailbirds and Thieves Under Arrcst With the Probability of Im- portant Disclosares. A Femalo Accomplice. Mrs. Nettie Mull, a rather pretty brunette, has croated a sensation in police circlos. She was arrested by Sergoant Ormsby at the City hotel s a suspoct. Nottis has 1arge, black eyes, a tall willowy form and dark hair, Her frizzled banzs are very long. According to tho police, she is a memoer of a gang of thieves, and, m fact, the brains of the gang. Two of her associates, Swartzman and Darlington, are now in jailonthe charge of burglury, Swartzmdn pleadel guilty and Darlington was held to the district court. Nettie's husband, whose name is Charles, ‘was, lnst April, convicted of burglary, and a large silk robbery in Sioux City. He was con- victed and sentenced to nine yoars in the penitentiary, His wife was also arrested, but escaped conviction. i8 Several woeks ago Mrs. Mull applied at the City hotel for board. After a few days, she consemted 1o do chamber work, and was given cmployment. Later, the house was robbed of 8600 and some Jewelry, und the police bulieve that Nettio is the woman who put the gang ‘“on” us to wheore tho money was hid. Darlington used to call and see her nearly every afternoon. Both Darlington and Swartzman worked in chop houses while here mcnli' for a blind, Since Swartzman pleaded guilty and has threatened to peach on the gang, more than a dozen chop house waiters have suddenly disa) red. Mrs. Mull was interviewed by a réporter yesterday, “Yes, I had a slight acquaintance with Darlington,” said the woman, who was sit- ting in Chief Seavey's office, shedding a few toars. *“‘He used to come to our house to seo Charlie, my husband, about oue year ugo, when we lived at007 South Thirteenth streot, in this city.” “What did he come there for1" “1 don't know. Darlington, McCormick and a lot more other men used to come thoro in the night. They would go into another room from me, They said they went in there Lo play cards, but I don't know what. they “‘Did they ever tell you of any of their plans to rob?" “No, sir. McCormick is the man who 1m- plicated me. In Sioux City when my husband was arrested for burgiary, McCormick was there. He was arrested about the same time as & suspicious charac- ter. In order to sccure his own release, he roinised to peach on the gang. It was upon is statement to the prosecuting attorney that I wus arrested, but,when the time came for trial McCormick was not called. Idon't know why.” “How did you and Darlington happen to visit St. Joe and Kansas City together ¢ “*He called on me at the City lhotel one day to inform me that he had heard from Charlie and during the conversation I mentionod that I was going to St. Joe. He said he was go- ing there too, and it so happened that we left on the same day. “Tn St. Joe ] did not find employment that suited me so 1 wentdown to Kansas City where [ have a brother. While passing down to St. Joe, I again met Darlington, Later on I met him in Omaha. I have had nothing whatever to ao with bim in a famil- iar wuy.” Several lawyers were lobbying around the police court room yesterduy to secure the Woman's case, s it 18 said the ‘‘gang? can raise considerable boodle to help on the wo- man's release. Chief Seavey has learned where a watch that was stolen from the City hotel had been pawned in St. Joe about the time that Darlington and Mrs. Mull were there. Fritz Wirth, the owner, and an officer left for St. Joe lust night. WILL CUSHING GO? A Report That He Has Been Found Incompetent. Itis currently reported that George C. Cushing, suparintendent of motor power of the Union Paci s soon to be retired. When Mr. Cushing succeeded Clem Hack- ney there was considerable dissatisfaction occasioned among the employes who thus came under his authority. Had not superior officers assured them that they would not bs aunoyed by Cushing it is probable that a walk-out would havo re- sulted, This reported reticement 1s not coupled, however, with any &mand on the part of workmen. It is stated that he has been found lacking in many instances and to suc! an extent, it ard, that Vice President Ho! comb,who wasthe weans of placing him in the position, has councluded that his retirement will in no way entail a loss upon the com- pany. + It is roported that he has faiied to oxercise good judement in the assiguing of locomo- tives; that where stecp grades required two pussenger engines for Dassengerservice he has substituted heavy freight engines which, after passicg the -incline and reaching a down grade, were not only unable to make fast time, but rendered travel very dan- gerous, 1t is also reported that he has endeavored to reduce the motive power generally, has roduced it to that point thut a marked deficiency exists, The serious delay and irregularity of trains 14 attributed to the poor condition of the rolliug stock, and the luck of sulficient power to propel the trains, 1t is nlso stated that the boxing of the roll- g stock has been seriously impaired owing 10 improper packing and the journals of the cars not having received proper attention. Anxiety Regarding the Outcome of the Boston Meeting. To<day Vice-President Hoicomb, Di- rector Millard and General Munager Kim- ball, of the Union Pacific, will return from Boston, The two former were in attend- ance at A meeting of the directorate of the Union Pacific and the latter—well, he was there and future developments will make known the result of his work. Considerable anxiety manifests itsell at Union Pacific headquarters, owing to the faet that Vice-President Holcomb went to Boston fully determined to institute a change in the office of general manager, whiclh wouid result in the retirement of Mr. Thomas F. Kimoall aud the aj utment of Ed Dickiason as his successor, It is also roported that the vice-president had the assurance of President Adams that s @ change would meet his approval, It was further agreed that an advisory position should be created for Mr. Kimball, The question that suggests itself is: Has this move been mude! If such be the case, nothing is known of it here. Individuals conversant with the facts in_the case state that there is such a thing as Fred Ames step- ing in. Mr. Ames is favorable to Mr. Kim- 11, and there is @ possibility that he has calied a halt, and that the plans of the presi- dent and vice-president, on the reorganiza- tion, have been cast aside, A Union Pacific Wreck. A broken rail derailed ana wrecked a freght train on the Union Pacific at Rock Springs Sunday night. BSeveral cars were smashed. No injury to persons rosulted. The track-wus blockaded and the Atlantic ed over four hours. T first section of the train made up this side of the wreck arrived here three hours late, The report that the through passenger train ‘was wreeked was groundless. Electricity For the 8hops.

Beware of imitations. Want to Be Bounced. There is considerable complaint from per- sons liviog in the north part of the city that the Sherman aveuue motor service, which is supposed to continue uatit midaight, ceases before eleven o'clock through the tricks of the motormen. According %o a rule of the company, if trains on that liue catol no passengers before they get s far as Burt stroet on the last trip the cars are run into the barn. ‘The motormen take advantage of this rule and refuse to take any north bound passen- gers ou their cars on their last trip Nearly all the motormen are practicing this trick and it is lmpossible for a verson living in the northern portion of the city to get home on the motor after 11 p. m. fhe Non-Sectarian FProhibition ists. About two dozen people gathered at the Furst Bapuist church lust evening in response 1o & call published by Prof. L. .. Abbott, for the purpose of instituting a series of mnon- sectarian, non-partisan temperance meot- ingw. Prof. Abbott was very badly disappointed at the poor attendance, and said he thougnt the people should turn ous better to a meet- 1ng that had been endorsed by nearly all of | the ministers of the city. He saw in the small attendance a disposition on tho part of tne people to sit idle and allow ‘“‘the 250 places licensed to sell liquid damnation, ROINg On in the Work.

Iongh in the Family Story Paper: “‘Well, Max, old fellow, I wish you joy!” and Charlie Atwood held out a cordial hand” “You have won and I have lost, but I can affora to be generous.’ There was so much apparent sincerity and frank good-will about the words and action that ' Max Danforth re« proached himself for the inward re- luctance he felt to extend his own hand in return, and for the lack of warmth that he was conscious of infusing into the clasp in which they mot. “Woar her well, Max, and be worthy of her—that is all T ask,” said@ Charlie, with his searching eyes on his compan- jon’s face. ‘‘Except one thing moro— let me be, at least, a looker-on at para- dise. Let me be your best man. May 1¥" These words, and the pressure of the hand still retaining his, brought Max Danforth out of the sort of spell that haa kept him mute, and he gathered his senses together with a slight, ad- monitory shuk “Certainly, Charlie; I shall be very happy to oblige vou in that respaot,” he answored, infusing something more of animation into his tone, “and I thank you for your good wishes. I hope to bo able to prove myscll worthy of them— and her.” “Iam willing to give you the benefit of the doubt from the stary,” was the laughing rejoinder. *‘Is it too soon to ask whevher the wedding day has been set? [donot want to appear imperti- nent, but only to adjust my own busi- ness affairs, so as to be at your services when needed.” *You are very thoughtful,”said Max, with a slight rvising of color in his handso face. ‘““We are to he married on the 15th of October. That will give me time to finish up tho business com- mission I have just now on hand. 1 must beaway from the city between the 10th and 15th, and immediately upon my return we will be married, and then I shall have two weeks’ leave of ab- sence to devote to my wedding tour.” “Isee. Well, ns six weeks is rather short time to areange the preliminaries of such un important stepas matrimony, 1 hope you will not hesitate to command my services as freely as yows 11y desire. I happen to have an idlo spell just now which will run along until nearly the 1st of November, so you need not hesitate to call ug o1 me. Andnow. as that is all | want to know at present, I won’t detain you any longer. Give my respects to Miss Arlington. and s that I shall do myself the honor to make her a congratulatory visit i a day or two.” He extended his hand, and again wrung that of his companion heartily, then turned and ' walked away with'a Light, springing step, while Max went on at a slower and more thoughtful pace. “A very different greeting from what I had expected afl Allie’s communi- cation last night’ mused Max, as he went on. “‘But it muy bave been largely her own nervous apprehension, forshe seems to have imbibed a settled aversion to him: or else he has cooled dowa, and coneluded to take his defeat m good purt.

The first frown that Mux had seen on the fa ve of hisbetrothed came there when he announced to her his promise to Charlie Atwood. It was the least I could grant the poor fellow, dearest,” he said, hall play- fully, half aeprecatingly, “when I had deprived him of so much, and he has accepted it so gracefully.” “If you could have s his face ns I saw it, Max him 1 was alrendy engaged to you, you would never have wished to have him stand by you at sucha time,”said Alice, her benutiful eves filling’ with tear I shall be eivil to him, of cour when s supptanted me u'h applanted n the look on when [ told he c: . and I shall not ask you to r tract your promise, but I am sorry it has been made, and 1 shall find it hard to beheve that he is really sincere in his vrofessionsof friendshipand good-will,” *'Dismiss all those prejudices, my dear little sweetheart, and take the goods the gods provide,” said Muax, growing more confident himself in his endeavors to reassure her. ‘‘Don’t take trouble upon interest, but hope for the best.” Max,” said Alice touched t tone., ‘I don’t wish to toward any one,and if incers I should be very sorry to injure him by doubt.” Two days later Charlie made his promised visit of congratulation, pre- ceded by a few hours by an elegant present to the bride-elect. “There is said to be 1 in the first present to an expectant bride, Miss Arlington,” he said, as he oxtended his hau ‘and I wish to bring you all the luck possible. I behaved shamefully the other night; but when a fellow is hard hit he somatunes commits a great many 1ndiscretipns, May I presume upon your forgiyeness and your con- tinued friendship?” What could shy say but yes, even though her inmost heart failed to ratify it, in the face of his frank avowal an beautiful present? He beld her hand firmly but gently for a moment, then released it; and there was nothing in his tone or man- ner to remind her of the burstof un- governable passion that had followed her re!umflo) his suit three days before. He remained awhile, talkiog of cur- rent events with easy affability and dis- cussing some little preliminaries of the wedding, concerning which Max had already hnd occusion to consult him, with the free candor of one disclaiming any desire or intention to come in the slightest degree into the confidence of either at the expense of the other, and then took his leayve with renewed wishes for her happiness. So the days slipped along. ° Charlie "Atwood made himself im- valuable by advising, suggesting, nrrnn%lnz and entering into ail the details of the pros- pective allance with the enthusiasm of a boy, and succeeded at last in_entirely allaying the suspicions that Alice for a time continued to harbor. On the day Max left the city Charles accompanied him to the depot. “Take eare of my littlo girl, Charlie, while Iam away,” said Max, as he wrang his friend’s hand. “‘And meet me at the hotel by 2o'clock on the aftor- noon of the 15th, I shall just have time todress and get to the house in season for the ceromony.” Al rishlv old fellow, take care of yourself!” And Charlie waved hisfriend a cheer- ful good-by, and then walked away,with a deep, sinister smiie on his handsomo fuce. The wedding morning dawned Up in her room Alice was beginning to arrange for her toilot, when a knock came at the door and a letter was placed in her hands. She opened it, read the few lines, and her oyes fillod - with quick, sympathic tear: “My poor old nurse,” she_exclaimed, sick, dying, perhaps, and I did not even know that she was in the vicinity —wants to seo me onco move. She shall, and give me her blessing on my mar- riage. I have several hours yet befor Ineed dress. I can eusily get there and back in time; 1t is not far out of town.” Throwing on a cloak and a hat she went down to the strect. A disengaged cab was standing just below, and sum moniug it, she gave the direction and was driven rapidly along. Justas they reached the suburbs of the city, the vehicle stopped; the door was thrown open, and a masked man leaped in without word or warning, and before she could uster u cry a handker- chief was pressed against her face and she fell back uncovscious. ‘When she came to her senses she was lying on a lounge in a wretchedly fur- nished and (lfid[‘idt\bml room, while bending over her with some unxiety was Atwood. “Oh, Mr. Atwood,” she exclaimed, clinging to him for a moment. *“*What does this mean? Where is my nurse-——"" **In heaven for all T know, although my knowledge of her sorved me a good turn.” was the mocking rejoind: **And it means simply that ne for amoment have I relinquished my in- tention of making you mine. I have simply been biding my time. Hero y are and here you will remain until become Mrs. Atwood, which vou will be very willing to do at the end of a few days, 1imagine. I must leave you for awhile to officiate at my friend’s wed- ding, and then I shall return to assist you in celebrating my own. Scream all You please. no one can hear you; and the windows besides being barred are o good thirty feet from the ground. Au revoir!” That was all, not another word: and before she could recover from her stupor of horror and dismay he was gone, and the key grating in the lock outside told her that she was a prisoner.

The present movement of ivory down the Congo is the result of th e influx on the upper v iver of white traders, who, 1n spite of Sianley’s opinion that the Upper Congo would muot be worth a penny until the railroad around the cataracts was built, have established themse in unexpected large num- bers. Three years ago there was not a single white trader on the Upper Congo. To-day Belgian, Duteh and French trading companies huve estab- lished thirteen tradin g posts above the cataracts, and these posts are scattered along the river a thousand miles from Stanley Pool to Stanley Falls, These companies have transported seven steamboats around the ecataracts.
