4> ANTICIPATING OPPOSITION, Hencethe C. & N. W. and U. P. Of- ficlals Fly into Conferenca. STRENGTHENING THE COMBINE, The Trans~Missourl Association Meets and Makes Rates Which Will be Opposed by South Omaha. In Conference. Thero 8 everything in the present situa- tion among western railroads to cause much lively amtation and the most intense inters est. ‘Tho withdrawat of two such corpora- tions as the Union Pacific and Northwestern, whose destinies are so closely allied, from all associations occasions considerable alarm on tho part of their contemporaries, the Buriington, Milwaukee, Rock Istand and Santa I'e. Nortern Pacific and Manitobs circles may be more or less concerned, but the four lLioes first named are directly affected and to them the public is looking for startling developments, Yesterday develeped a few facts among the Union Pacific and Northwestern officials, which to the opposition not enly looked ratber suspicious, but elicited an unusual amount of comment. Marvin Hughitt, prosident; John M. Whit- man, geveral manager, and S. Sandbourn, general superintendent of the Northwestern, arrived this city from Chicago. They went directly to Union Pacific headquarters remained in consultation for a long time, behind bolted doors with controll- ing spirits of that road. (\ Vhile Mr. Hughitt counferred with Vice President Holcomb, Second Vice Prosident Kimball sod General Trafic Manazer Mellen, in Mr. Holcomb's private office, Messrs, Whitman and Sanbourn, also Super- intendent Hopkins of tne lowa division, who accompanics them, were, closeted with Gen< eral Manuger Dicinson and General Passeo- ger Agent Lomax in the former's room. These gentlomen maintained profound si- lence when questioned as to the real object of their visit, avoiding direct answers by saying that they were simply out on a tour of inspection. From other sources, however, it was learned that the recent turn in affairs neces- sitates immediate action toward the adoption of plans for a still closer and more binding agreement between the two corporations in order that they muy be prepared to success- fully meet any schemes their enemies may spring to deprive them of the controlling prestigo they now enjoy. Mr. Hughitt entertained his trio of distin- guished confreres with a recital of Chairman Walker's decision before the presidents’ meeting in New York, and the offect it had; also what foliowed between himselt aud President Adams when they determined to give notice of withdrawal and thus squelch the famous *gentlemen’s agreement.” There is no doubt that an effort will be made to reorgaunize, but whether the Union Pacific and Northwestern want to again enter an associntion combination that pro poses to control their action 1n the matter of the exchange of business or not, is the ques- tion. In order to be able to stand alooe and fight the other roads, it is understood that a stronger combine—one more extensive as well as effectivo—is being arranged; and, it is thought, hus brought the Northwestern officials to Omaha, By coming here they can consummate matlers with 1ss annoy- ance and without attracting so much atten- tion frum contempotaries as they woald in Chicago. Theretore, while Mr. Hughitt was talking and figuring with Holcomb, “Kimball and Mellen upatairs, the other partics devoted thew visit to spece ulations on the proposition of a rearraugement of train service and new time tables, Among the things under contempla- tion 18 & system of through passenger trains betwoen Chicago and Sun Fraocisco over the Northwestern and Union Pacific. Relative to the withdrawal, Mr. Hughits expressed himself in a letter tg Chairman ‘Walker, the substance of which was pub- lished yestorday. Burlington and Milwaukee officials were asked foran expression as to what course they thought would be pursued by their re- spective lines, but declined W talk. Chairs man Walker has called a meeting to be held in Chicago, February 5, and until that time it is not likely that any moves will be made. sencral Freigut Agent Crosby of the B. & M. returned Wednesday from Chicago,where he attended & meeling of the trans-Missouri freighit agsociation, which had under consid- eration the subject of cattle rates east-bound from interior Nebraska ana Kansus points, A schedule was agreed on and is now being prepared whereby the rates to Chicago by way of Omaha will be the same as by way of Kansas City and St. Joe. s has no effect, however, on the rate from Omaha, which still remans at 25 cents a hundred, but it makes a reduction in the sum of the two locals. tanifl 1o effact up to date on cattle shipments from Hastings to Chicago has been 81ig cents, while the mnew rate brings It down to 26} cents, u reduction of 4 cents a hundred. This will affect the South Omaba packers more than anybody else, and the railroad oficials expect to re- cewe a vigorous prot.st from them, The Santa Fe 1s trymng to attract some at- tention by threatening to put on a fast ves tibule train between Chicago and San Fran. cisco which will make the trip in sixty-nine hours. This would be much faster time than any other transcontinental road makes, and bringabout a great revolution in the overland travel. An official of thav road is quoted as anying that all arrangewents for putting the scheme into effect have been completed, ana six of the most maguificent solid vestibuled trams ever builtare now in course of construction. Sixty-nine is only six hours longer than is required for the fast mail be- tween Omaha and 'Frisco, wb runs on a scbedule of forty miles an hour, therefore, to make the journey over its very circutous route from Chicago in that time will place tne Santa Fe soveral miles ahead of all its competitors as a swift road. To railroad men the proposition is rather absurd. Had this ofticial said 169 hours he would bave come nearer hitting the mark, Tho passenger department o1 the Union Pacific has gotten out a very gorgeous adver- llnln{ picture of the fast mail train between Omaba and Chicago.

A gentleman of New York was talk- ing in the Colonade last evening about self-supporling women, says the Phila- delphin Press. Said he “Among the many occupations in- venied by impecunious women, perhaps the most original is that of a woman of thirty, who had been for scveral years at the head of her fathers’s luxurious establishment. She learned thorough- Iy the art of entertaining, and one day, when suddenly left a penniless orphan, she determined to make this knowledge Her of some practical use. She was not much of & musician, and she didn’t have either the knack or desire to teach what langunges she knew, She couldn’t write or paint, and, act, found it difficult to find wi herself auy vledge sufficiently great to be worth nough to support her. “If I wone thing thoroughly!’ she ‘but the only thing [know how to do1sto give dinner parties. Iknow that exactly and complete but the questionis not how togive dinner parties but how to get them to give.’ Thiuk- ing the matter ovey in every light,a sudden thought came to her. There was a number of people who had the means but not the knowledge to give dinners; why couldn’t she teach them? *‘She told her idea to friends and they encouraged her by employing her on such occasions, thus relieving them- selves of infinite care and worry. Her method was this: She went to the in- tending dinner-giver the day the invi- tations were issued, and discussed ways and means. On the day of the dinner sho ordered the flowers, favors x\m\ din- ner cards, arranging them herself, got the dinner table into proper conditien, saw that all changes of plates and silver were roady, and like a major-general stood and gave her orders until dessert was served, upon which she drew a sigh of reliel, put on her gloves and ~1|p|n-d away. Her putron.\ne incrensed when 1 iends found what clover and orig- ival idens she had, and realized how completely she Lifted all the care and responsibility from their shoulders. She mude a business of getting all the latest ideas from florists, caterersand shopkeepers, and applied them at once while they were new. After she be- came 1nterested in the work she began to develop all sorts of original insp tions, which were popular and eff ive. She also made a point of hunt up clever ligtle verses and quotations for dinner cards, and wrote them out herself upon cards that she procured from various artist friends, who dined sumptuously at her own table in by-gone days, and who were willing to be obliging vow. At present she has secured a clientele which keeps her oc- cupied all through the *scasou, and she manages to live very comfortably ou the vroceeds of her work. Naturally, commissions on all the things she re- commends come into her hands, and these added to her other enrnings make a sum suflicient for her needs.” —-— ng The American Building and Loan as- sociation of Minnenpolis shows an in- crease from September 30, ), to Jan- uary 1, 1890, of a million dollars, being the largest increase of any association in the world. Agents wanted. Address C. A, Crum, Tancoln, Neb. Impolite New-Yorkers. Ten years ago any gentleman in the western states who possessed noticeably refined or polished munners was said to be “‘like a New-Yorker, writesa New York correspondent of the Boston Bud- get. This wus the synony m of good manners and a tine address. The New- Yorker was supposed to be au fait in all the polite finesse and delicate courtesies 50 to the heart of every woman. Very little was smid of his morals, but his manners were acknowledged to be admirable, even by hisenemies and riv- als. ‘Today all this is changed. When a gentleman gives his seat in a public conveyauce to a lady, or steps aside to Jet hor pass, he is at once supposed to be ‘“from cut of town.” ‘'The elevated train s filled with southern and west- ern men this morning,” said a lady not long ago as, she took heer seat in a car. “Why?"usked her {riend, wonderingly. “Because every lady hasaseat, and only the gentlemen are holding on to the straps and wrenching their arms and backs around these terrible curves, New York men would not subject them- selves to such discomfort, you know.” Reluting this bit of irony to a gentle- man, he declored that more than half if not the entire fault lies with the women themselves. I talked with two or three guards vn the clevated roads,” he said, ‘‘and with several street car conductors, on this very mut- ter not long ago. They all complained of the rudeness of women, who push, crowd, drop their money and their par- 5, und blockade a whole row of gen- ticmen, and offer mo apology for so doing. ‘If women would keep their wits about them,’ continued, ‘and not conduct themseives like feather- brained lunatics in public places, men’s manners would improve.’ But they forget the strect where they wish the car 1o §top, and they abuse the conduc- tor for his stupidity in carrying them out of their way.and angrily push past the gentlemen who happen to stand on the platform, I have ssen a well- dressed woman detain a crowd of men at the ticket-office, while she searched for her purse, and then for a nickel, finally found it and dropped it, and leaned to pick it up, dropped a parcel us she did so, while the gate slammed and the train relled away. e Make no Mistake.

The popular favor of both English and French seems to be somewhat hard to conguer in the case of these new dishes, but doubuless ull will come in time. It is related of a clever Boston woman that onge while she was living in the coun- try abroad, in a spot where the markets wore extremely unveliuble, she was one day surprised by the arrival of sev- eral guesis near the dinner hour. 1t chanced, as it usually does chance in such cases, that on that especial d her larder was more than eommoonly bare, and she had littie to set before her guests. Her wit heiped ber out, however. The locusts were in full bloowm, and selecting & number of the finest clusters she had them dipped in batter ana then fried in boiling oil. The dish was not only an extremely ornamental one, the shape of the clus- ters beiug not unlike that of grapes, but it proved very palatable as well, and if it was not very substantial it at least went no inconsiderable way toward giv- ing the appearauce of solidity tothe somewhat scauty dinuner. THE OMAHA DAILY BLE: *FRIDA \', The Preliminary Hearing of the Libel Case Concluded. MR, MAHONEY'S ARGUMENT. He Gives Reporter Johnson a Severe scoring and is Forcibly an- swered by Mr. Gannon— The Speeches. 1he State Rests. The final arguments in the case of the state against Mr. E. Roscwater, charged with eriminal libel, were wade before Judge Helsley in police courtWeduesday afternoon. County Attorney Mahoney closed the argu ment for the state. He referred first to the decision of the snpreme court of Virginia, cited by Mr. Gannon_in his argument. The rule laid down, said Mr. Mahoney, is that a man may defend himself when attacked, even without proving the trath of his retort. Has Mr. Rosewater brought himself within that rule? He testified that the article in which the libel is alle;od to have been made was written in reply 1o a letter written by Vandervoort. An article in Tne ke of January 8 could hardly be construed to Lo An answer to one published in the Republican of Jan- uary 4. On cross-examination Mr. Rose- water admitted that he had exposed, as he ealied 1t, for the past fourteen years, Dur- ing that'time he has unremittingly pursued Mr. Vandervoort. 1 understand that these aenunciations have had the effect of bring- ing his children in school into being objects of ridicule, and Mr. Vandervoort has been gonded almost to desperation. The law in this case will hold that Mr. Rosewater brought on the conflict. e canuot usk the protection of the law until he can show that be bas been assaulted by some one whom he has proviously maligned. Under the law the defense of privilege must be abandoned. There is no testimony to show that Mr. Van- dervoort is s bummer, as called by Mr. Rosewater. Vandervoort has, during his fourteen years in Omaha, been engaged in legitimate business. He is not a drunkard, he is not a carouser. There is no evidence in support of the epithet, The second charge is that Vandervoort is a procurer for railroads, a man who minis- ters to the unlawful des of railroad cor- porations. The charge cannot bo trausiated to any other meaning, There 18 no testi- mony either, Mr. Mahony held, to show that there is any truth in the charge thut Van- dervoort came near going to the penitentiary for the assauit made on Mr. Rosewater vy Curry. Vandervoort was never charged with the crime in court; he was never arrested, never tried, aud never came any way near gettg into legal difficulties over his alleged implication in the assault. With Mr. Rosewater's ability toget grand jury returns he should have secured a.rec- ord of a vote to show how near Vandervoort came to going to the pemitentiary. The tes- timony of Mr. Porter is not proof that Van- dervoort had any kunowledge of Curry’s in- tentions. All of the testimony shows that if Vandervoort knew anything of the contew- plated assault, it was what he haa learned or heard from rumors on the street. Rumors of such attacks on Mr. Rosewater were common at that time. Mr. Vaudervoort then, too, testified that he had no desire to have Rosewater killed or even buffeted or assaulted by Curry. I sincerely believe that Paul Vandervoort spoke truly when he made that statement. It was further shown that Vandervoort and Curry werenot on famyliar terms prior to the assault upon Mr. Rosewater. Attorney Balawin, Mr, Ma- houey held, had no right whatever to offer any 1 formation that he had secured from a client whom be was defenamg. Such se- crets, saia Mr. Mahoney, should be as safely locked in the breastof an attorney asis a confessional in the heart of a priest. Mr. Gannon corrected Mr. Mahovey and called attention to the statement of Judge Baldwin, that he nad told all he knew about the case in s opening address to tho Jury in the Curry trial. Mr. Mahoney admitted the error, and dropped it with the statement that Mr. Baldwin gave no_evidence, he only suggested something fearful. Coming down to the legislative work in 1887, Mr. Mahoney said it had been shown that Mr. Vandervoort had been employed by the railroans, but the defeuse had falled to show that he had used any undue or illegal meuns in his work against anti-railroad bills. Even Johnson, Mr. Mahoney said, who had all chances for closely watching Vandervoort could show nothing that could be sensibly construed as derogatary to his character. Mr. Mahoney compured Johnson to Neagle, who, as a re- porter on the National Irishman, in 1865, be- trayed his employers to the crown prosecu- tor. His testimony was even of less im- portance than his character. He did not show that Vandervoort had done anything wrong i his railroad lobbying. Nove of the witnesses huve connected Paul Vandervoort with oil rooms; no one has shown that he ever t to a house o ill-fame, or that he ever aided 1 leading members of the legisln- ture into the meshes of the bribe giver. It is not shown that he has ever asked a mem- ber to drink. On the Dodlin granite part of the testimony Mr. Mahoney argued that Vandervoort had nothing whatever o do with the case. The plans were aporoved and the contract awarded to the lowest biader, and the suc- cessful kid specified that Dodlin granite snould be used. It was childish to claim any jobbery or robbery in connection with a con- tract awarded under such circumstances. Mr. Rosewater, at the head of a great paper, holds a great deal of power in his hand; so does the man with a foot length of gas pipe loaded with dynamite. Both must use their weapons for the public good or be amenable to law if they become offenders. If it results from these prosecutions that there is less of villification and abuse in the newspapers, the public will be benefitted ang can stand the trouble to which the courts have been placed. 1f Mr. Rosewator has es- tablisaed o justification wo are content to have him released; if he has not, the law demands that he be held w0 answer to the dwstrict court. As to Sumner Johnson. Mr. Gannon demsnded the privilege of replying to Mr, Mahoney's crticisms of Sumver Jobuson. Permission was granted, wnd Mr. Gunnon said: If the court please, I desire vo say one word, not, howoever to re-argue the case, My understanding of arguments always has been that the party who assumes the burden will, ut least, go over all the ground, and tho reply of the defendant 1s & reply to that argument, and the rejoinder of the prosecus tion is a rejoinder to that reoly, Mr, Mor- iarity never mentioned Summer Johnson's name, Had he wentioned it, was preparad to justify Summer Johuson. My only reuson for uaking Russell if he weve not a federal spy was not because I thought that tnat was dishonorable at all, but to show that he was pursuing a justifisble course for the govern ment, a8 Summer Johuson was pursuing justifiable course when he was eudeavoring to discover if there was uny corruption in the legislature. The case cited my friond, and Summer Johns is not & varwlel one, ms can show him in @ mibute, asd ot withstauding his eodeavor to get off the curse he has blenued Tom Moore with Dry- den, the curse does not apply to Summer Jdohnson.

Nearly fifty years ago the late Com- modore Maury in# jesting mood spoke of vecording humdw speech by speaking through a trumpet upon a sheet of paper, and in a general way described the phonograph or graphophone, says the Washington Star. This curious prophecy, made in ' joke, was hibseseran the other day by “Dr. G. Brown Goode, director of the National Museum, in looking over the life of Com- modore Maury - recently published in Loudon. It is contained in a letter written by Commodore Maury to a relative in New York, dated May 12, 1844. At that tame Commodore Maury was superintendent of the naval observatory in this city. If Commodore Maury had been alive and present when Prof. Goode read this letter he would have beca astonished to see what the professor did. He turned and took up a trumpet and talked into it. He was speaking not upon a piece of paper but upon a light wax inder. When he had finished speaking he inclosed this little cylinder in a little pasteboard case or box and mailed it to Mr. E. D. Easton, the president of the Columbia Phonograph company of this city. Mr. Easton put the cylinder on a graphe- phone, ad justed the ear piece to his ear, and then read what Prof. Goode’s voice had written on the cylinder. 1t wasa copy of Commodore Maury’s letter in which he wrote: ““What a pity it is that M.
