ey DID NOT HAVE A BONANZA, Mr. Gardiner Consequently Throws His Sldewalk Contraot. MATERIALS FOUND 70O DEAR. the Board of P He Must for biic Works Says ¥orfeit Ris Oheck Five Hundred Dollara. Loses Pive Hundred Dollars, At the mecting of the board of public works yesterday Charles Gardner ap- peared and asked that he be released from the contract made with tho board last weel to lay all tho wooden sidewalks for the city up to July 1. He clamed that o mis. take was made in making the calou- Intions for expenses for material, and that if he carried out the contract he would lose $2,000 thereby. Ho asked that he be not ouly released from the contract but that his oertified eneck for $500 given asa guarantee by him that the work would be done, be re- wurned v him The members of the board, however, thought they could only partially grant his request. ‘They would releass him from his contract, but he would have to forfet his 500 put U as security. Major Balcombo said board must be conducted according to busi- ness principles. This was necessary for the protection of the people and honest contract- ors. Ifstraw bids wero allowed the city would be kept constantly resdvertising and under continual expense, Mr. Kicrstead agreed with him, expressing regret Gardner night have 1o lose his security. He assured Gardner, however, that if the members of the city council felt 8o disposed they could return the check to him, The board will have to readvertise for bids for sidewalks agan, Bias for grading Pacific street from Twen- ty-ninth avenue to Thirty-first street were opened and the contract awarded to Kd. Phelan, who bid 13 cents per cubic yard. Proposals for sowor construction wero ovened, but referred first to the city en- gineer before final action will bo taken. hattheaffairs of the IN RAILKOAD CIROLES, Witd Freak of a Female Passenger on whe Burlington Flver. A very exciting incident oceurred Thurs- dayon the Burlington flyer near Ashland, Suddenly and in the strangest manner a fe- male passeuger arose from her seat, ran quickly out onto the platform, and beforo any who observed the act had time to movi leaped off and went tumbling along four or five times over on the ground. As soon as possible the train was stopped and Con- ductor Carter seat some of his men back with & hand car that hap- pened to be convenient to where the woman lay in an unconscious condition with one leg broken and ter body badly bruised. She was picked up, ried to Ashlaud and left there 1w care of a com- pany physician, Investigation showed that the woman had been badly frightened by her child, a little boy, who, 'after the train loft Omaha, had crowded under the car seat and had gone to sleep. When lust noticed by his mother he was playing in the aisle, On missing his presence her first thought that he had wandered out on he platform and fallen off. The impulse to suve him was so strong that, probably with- out realizing what she was doing, she made the wild jump. While ali this was going on the little fellow staid in his bunk and slept soundly. It was learned later that the woman’s name i Hitt, though her home has not been ascertdined. = She is recoiving good care and will recover. The Nebraska Centeal's Bridge.

As ouly a very rough sketch of tne suver structure has been made it will be necessary to wait a litile while for the architects to draw a complete set of plans. When asked to designate the exact loca- tion, Mr. McShane preferred not to do so 'for the remson that it might be the means of giving some person &n op- portunity to place obstacles in the way that would ¢ause niore or less annoyance, *Thero are no objections to my telling you, how- he continued, “that it 18 near the locality described some time ago in 1 Bee.” The Question of Rates.

Subject of Rahbt Rosenan's Lecrar At the Temple of fsrael. “Senator Biair and His National Sunday Bl was the subject of Rabbi Rosena u's lecturo before the conaregation of fsrael last night. The rabbi spoke as follows Last year, if you remember, this country was thrown into a state of almost foverish excitement by a question whose sottlement scemed not only of great butof vital im- portance to 1ts people. It was whethor the passago of two proposed bills could bo brought about by the Fiftieth congress. That they should have this effect upon an entire community was no more than natural, for their adoption and consequent enforce ment inyolved many changes ia the govern ment of the nation. Thoss to which w have reference are the well known Blair ) tional Sunday and Religious Isducation biils, The press treated them, the pulpit discusse them, the people criticised thom. Articles could be noticed, lectures could be read, con- versations could be overhoard, here, thers and everywhero, all of which set forth the many arguments that could be offered pro and con. Those who were favor circulated petitions soliciting the signatures of persons who shared their opinion; those opposed did the same. Both factions were on tho tintoes of c pectancy, the former hoping for the acce ance, the latter for the rejection of the bill The 'one thought them benefits, the other detriments to the people. The one regarded them minrks of honor, the other adjudged them stigmas upon the character of the gov- ernment. Thus both were spurred on in their fight by what in thewr eyes appeared feclings of scif-defense and patriotism. The looked-for hour at lastcame. The aucust congress was in session. Tho celebratod bills were read, Eloguent speeches were dolivered, IRepresoutative votes were cust The indefatigable opponeuts won the day. Senator Blair and his followers were de- feated, Iowover much a defeat of any kind may be the source of displeasure ani discouragement to those who experience it, itdid in no degree havo the tendency in this case. Hardly repulsed, they are ready t0 engago 1n the fight anew.' Just as a van- quished gencral in time of war often exhorts his army to make avotuer attempt ut glori- ous victory, 50 the aforementioned seaator ems to us to have aroused his men to another battle which may finally gain for them the point for which “they so ardently crave. Attho Fifty-first congress, on Do cember , 1859, the bills were once more pre- souted. Ia ordor to have them moot with a more general approval, some slight changes were made in their wording, which, how- ever, did not in the least affect their mean- ing or intent. After they haa been formally introduced they were referred to the com- mittee on_education and labor. This was thought the opportuue time to commenco afresh the work of effecting successfully their passuge. ‘The old plan of procuring supporters was resumed. Appeals were issued to the veople at large and they were asked to subscribe their names s0 as to signify their intention of helping the speody aud casy consummation of the seom ingly just cause. Mauy are thosc who promise their devotion and help. From day to day their number grow. But while a tivity and industry characterize this party, the other does not iook on in idleness. Wa would not lose any time in becoming equal to the emergeacy were we to see an old enemy preparing himself to wrest from us & much cherished treasure. 1t would be unnatural Hence it is, since here old institutions are in Qanger of being overtirown to be replaced Dby new ones,that the voico of discontent and protest is being rased. It usks for followers by similar appeals and followers it receive: From day to day their numbers too increase. What the outcoi.e of the struggle will be do- vends entirely upon the comparative strength of athe two ffactions into which the citizons of our United States divide themselves on these bills. 'rom tie daily newspapers you can see that they ure at present being discussed in the senate, In view of the strenuous offorts which are being made by those favoring them, for their adoption, the National IRe ligious Liberty association has sent peti- tions for signatures to every state and terri- tory in the union, 1o bring about this re- jection. - I have been the recibient of a lot- ter asking me to present the matter and circulate such a petition, Therefore it is that I riso upon my polpit to respond to the request, since 1 consider it the best medium of reaching the greatest number of people in the shortest time. Let me invite you to the consideration of the Blair national Sunday bill separately and t e Blaine relizious edu- cation bill separately. The weak features, if such they manifest, shall b pointed out, the good ones, if such they possess, shall not remain unmentioned. With the exammnation of the Blair natienal Sun- day bill and the reflection upon the adyis- avility of its acceptance or rejection we shall commence. Itis perhaps not out of vlace for us to give here a shory review of the bill as it reads and was introduced. In perusing thoe same we find it to be the following in contents ; “That it be enacted by the senate and house of representatives that no person or corporation shall perform or cause to ba per- formed any work or business to the disturb- ance of others, nor that anyone sball engage in any pluy, game, or recreation Lo the dis- turbance of others on the first day of tho weels known as Sunday in uny locality ander jurisdiction of the United States. Again, that no mails or mail master be transnorted in time of peace, vor shall such be collected or delivered. Letters; however, referring to work of mercy, or bringing information concerning the _ health, life or death of s person shall by exempt from such law, provided such letters are properly marked to this effect and ar~ rive at the place of thewr destination before the first duy of the week. Furthermore, that all military and nayal drills, musters and parades be strictly probibitea.” Here we bave before us an epitomized form of the bill, revealing, however, in full its true character and aim. Noticiug that it is the object of Senator Blair and his colaborers 1o enforce rest, it scems to us that if they had introduced *'a duy of rest bill” without_ specification*as to the timo of rest instead of u nutional Sunday bill that there would have been very few to dissent. This movement would have been regarded the offspring of purely humane mo- tives and s enforcement a great benefit to the peonle. Thus they not only would have avoided opponents, but would have se- cured those whose antagonism they have incurred, as enthusiastic supporters. The press would not have disapproved of it; the pulpit would not have taken exception to it; the people would not huve protested against it. “There is none so blind in all this world that does not see the necessity of cessation from work, It means to one gnd all alike a rejuvenation of physical strength sod a re- habilitation of the mental powers. It means @ check upon the growth of unholy passions and a promotiou of the uoblest traits, It weans good health and long life. The viola- tion of this law of nature, enjoining rest, however, means toone and all alike & grad- ual decline of body and wind. It meaus a deyelopment of buse desires und the eventual disappearance of the more divine qualities, It weans horrible disease and prema- ture death, as predicted in the words: “Every one that defileth the Swsbbuth shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doth auy work thereon, that soul shull be cut off from among his people” (Exodus, xxxi-14.) But since such ure not the motives that sway Senator Blair and his cowpanions, they cannov expect to merit uni- versal avproval, Their unjust claims do and should meet with great opposition. What the failings of the Blair national Sunday bill are we stall try to show, hoping o be enabled thereby to couvince as many peoplo as possible of the inexpediency of its acceptance. Marking how it would tend to cast 8 gloom upou everything once a week, wo cannot do otherwise than urge its rejec- tion io the loudest terms. Such a stute would remind us too much of the ancestry of od Puritanism and of this we do not ap- pro We do not want w be mis underscood whon we say we da mnot abprove of old Puritanism. We do not want anyone to infer that the ancient + uri- tans could boast of nothing that was worthy of uppreciation, ‘This would indeed be a &ross injustice, We commen 1 their spirit of iudependence in severing their connections with the church of England, in consequence of conviction; we houor them for their readi- ness Lo leave bohind them a boloved father- lund and suffer the inclemencies of an uncul- ivated western world, 80 as to worship saccording to the dictates of their conscience; we revereuce them “for having kindled,” as Mr. Hume holds, “the spark of liberty for the entire world,” yet we do not thivk all thelr observauces, cusioms sad iustitutions THE wholesome and just. Their manner keeping the Sabbath is deserving of severe criticism. With them the Sabbath was not a day of comfort ana case, of restand revig. oration, of elovation and edification; it was a day that was regarded a burden, a lorment; a day of honor or dread, a day of degenera tion and laceration. A’ death-like stillness and coldness porvaded it. Not the minutest sound could be heard anywhere, unless per- haps it was the dolefnl note of ‘some very sevious hymn. Life under such condition seemod to bo devoid of all attractions. 1t was nothing but labor and toil, and when the iabor and toil had stopped it Wwas nothing but @ oontinual brooding wnd pondering upon the ills and woes of human flosh. And it is just to this old Puritan Sabbath to which Me, Blair wishes to bring back our people. His bill bears strong testimony to_this fact. If it 18 his objoct to make his fellow citizens ro- ligious then we think that he ought to have used other means. A day that seoms to bring with itself thoughts of sorrow and of gloom can hardly be productive of wood in that direction. Let mot the Sabbath of the ancient Puritans bo imitated nt the prosent. Lt is mental to human happiness, Again, the Sabbath, such as Senator Blair desires to sco established in_ this country, 18 not biblical. We take for grantod that he, a Cliristian, recoguizes the authority of scrip- detri- tures, Doing this he must also try to pre- serve for 1t that character which was bos stowed upon it by the holy book. Let him oxamine the pages of the bible from begin- ning to eud and he will not find a single passago which he could cite in support of such gloominess which he desires to' give to the day of rest, He will encounter rathier the direct opposite. There it was instituted as a day of brightness, of joy, of happiness. The prophet Ismiah, whoss piety and devo- tion to his God have very seldom founa their equal, speaks of the Sabbath as a delight, Such it should ever be to man, Such it has been to the Jews at all times. The Friday evening was an ove of sucreduess, and _yet that sacredness did not prohibit the people from indulging in pleasures of many a kind, The Sabbath proper was u day of groat solemnity, and yet that solemnity did not debar them from participating in amusements of various de. scriptions, Thus it comes that Rabbi Joshua B. Chaoania called it the spice of the weel. Such the Sabbath was among the Catholic By them, too, it was never enveloped ia a halo of somberuess, Although a day of de- vout worship, that worship by no means pre- cluded enjoymert. It Mr. Blair wishes to make the Sabbath biblical, then let him be more liberal in the grant of privileges to the people. Again, such a Sabbath as Mr. Blair would institute wouid hardly be in con- formity with the meauing conveyed by the woras *“day of rest,” He would make it a duy of utter inactivity and laziness, What 18 generally understood by the term *resu” is the interruvtion of our usual occupation and the bestowal of our attention upon some- thing clse. Thus, for instance, he who ail the week round works with his muscles may be considered as keeping the Sabbath day were he to set himself to thinking, and he who labors with his mind may be rded as observing 1t in his special way were he to betake himself to bodily exercise, Becauso of this, the orly proper significanco of tne term rest, it is that the sufforance of much that Mr. Blair endeavors to subpress could not prove itseif a violation but rather a obedience of the real Sabbath laws. Thus it is that the transportation to open places in vehicles and railroads, where pure air can be inhaled, could prove ifself the source of vigoration to people, who are at other dimes cooped up i some close and dingy city thoroughfare. Thus it is that the plaving of out-door games could become the canse of rehabiliation to muny wko are all the week round obhged to vy main it sedentary positions. Thus it is th places of amusement, whero sweet and edifying music is aiscoursed and cheering mirth is rendered, could help in the rejuvena- tion of many, who otherwiso Jead a rather prosaic life. 'If Mr. Blair wishes to be a benefactor of humubity, then let him en- courage the continuance of means that accrue to our benefit. And agaio, such a Sabbath as Mr. Blair purposes to enforce is altogether illegal, ‘When the fathers of our couuntry framed the constitution they gave it not the stamp of sectariauism. They preached liberalism and equality. To all, irrespective of creed, the same rights were accorded. Neither Protest- ants, nor Catholics, nor Jews were denied any privileges, ‘Thus our country gained a reputation whick was eoviable in the ex- treme, So that it might be avle to retain that in all its splendor uutil the very ena of time, a provision was made at once ‘“that congress shall make no law respecting an establishwent of religion or prohibiting tho free exercise thereot,” That reputation it bas keot pure and untarnished until the vresent hour. ‘The national Sunday bill of Senator Blair, however, seems to threaten us with the loss of it. Ail liberty-loving and patriotic citizens, from the Michigan forests to the cotton fields of Alabama, from the metropolitan east to the golden west, mast wuge war against it. It dare not be allowed to pass. It mustnot be ullowed to pass. The welfarc and prosperity of the country, tho contentment and happiness of its peoplo are atstake. If Senator Blair wishes to be coustitutional, then we are sorry to say that he has missed the mark. All those who bave followed me closely in the statement of these points will, | am eer- tain, cowcide with me upon the advisability of the rejection of the Blair national Sunday bill and siguify their desire o allow people hereafter as before to celebrate the day of rest without any specification as to time or prescription as to mauner on the part of the covernment. Aund as they have been shown the weakness of this bill, so will they be made to see the fuilings of the other, known as the education bill, which is to be treated in a subsequent lecture.

The note is written by & man who was connected with the case when Neal was sent to the venitentiary two aud one- half years ago for horse stealing in Missouri Valley, la. The writer 18 now s member of the legisluture of the latter state, He write as follows “His [Neal's] mother 1s now, or was a short time since, Living at Missouri Valley.

Noal's Paternity, The Intimation conveyed in the above note was a slight one, but justified the making of An attempt to discover whethor or not the relationship suspected. existed between the two alleged murderers, It was discovered, by a singular coinci- dence, that this rolationship had been sog- gested to & certain city official by & well known mevrchant of Omaha, who, for years, has done business with people in the neigh- borhood of Missouri Valley, The gentleman when seon by a Brg repro- sentative stated that bo firmly believed Neal and Shellenberger wore brothers, or at least half brothers. Ho _suid that he had occasion frequently to visit Missouri Valloy and knew a number of the people in that vicinity, He knew among othors some of the members of the Gray family, the namo under which Shellen- berger was koown while in that neighbor- hood, Until yesterday there ity & Mrs, ——, & resident of- Missouri Valley. Sne had previously stated to the merchant in_question that she had no douby that Neal was accusing his own half-brother of the crime. y Up to last Sunday the people in the vici- ity of Missour: Vailey had paid little more than passing attention to the great dual mu der. When, however, Tur Bre published tho fact of Shellenberger's connection with 1t they immediately 8aw that the perpetrat ors woro nearer to them than they hud im- agined them to be. Indeed it was not until that time that tho lady who is now clwimed to be the mother of both Neal and Sheilenberger had beard of the dreadful crime, Since that time ivhas been o wonder 1o many people in the neighborhood why Sheriff Garrison did not discover tho intimate relation of both the allezed vrincipals. ‘he story told by the visiting lady is tothe efMoct that Sbellonberger is an assumed name, the right one being Gray, as has frequently had been in this been ‘mentioned in these columns. Mrs. Gray's husband, the fatler of the suspect, died many yvears ogo. She married again, & man named either MoNeill or Neal. Soon after the birth of a son—the young Neal now under arrest—MeNeill, the hus- band and father, left for the west and at ouo time was supposed to have gone to live in Utah.

The Basis of Boges & Hill's Claim for Damages, An item was published i Thursday’s issue of I e BEE relutive to the proceedings now peading in the council for the opening and wigening of Burt street from Twenty- eiglith street to a pointnear Thirtieth street, The stutement was published upon the in- formation of supposed responsible - parties that Boggs & Hill wero seeking compensa- tion from the city for a strip of grouna used in the extension of Burtstreet from 'I'wenty- eighth street to ‘lhirtieth street, which had been origivally a part of Hillside addition, No. 2, owned by HBoggs & Hill Boges & Hill never owned and do not now have any interest what ‘ver in Hillside addi- tion No. 2. The strip of grouno referred to, 520 feet longand 40 feet wide, lying just north of Hillside No. 2, was purcnased oy Boggs & Hill several years ago from tho Aunthon heirs in connection with the pur- chuse of the tract of fourteen acres now owued by Boggs & Hill lying just west of Creignton college. ‘I'ie strip has never been condemned by the city for atreet purposes and the fee simple title Lo it rests in Boggs & Hill, The statement made by the property own- 8 1 Hillside addition No. ¥ in their pett tion to the council thal the strip in ques- tion has been openly wud notoriously used as a street for ten yoars past is also shown to bo enurely iticorrect. Prior to 1858 u deep creek ran through the property in question and making it impassable even for footmen, The first improvement on the strip was made in 1857 when a sewer wus laid through it. Boggs & Hill have ncver laid out an ad- dition 1o tho city, and they have made a good muny of them, without wuking a proper ded- icatiou of all the ground necessary for stroct purnoses, The strip of ground in question wus purchased by them In conneetion with another tract, it is 1ot in front of any prop- erty that they have sold or in which they have an ‘intercst; and no just reason exists why they should not be paid for the property if the city takes it for street purs poses. Notwithstanding the repestéd pro- tests of Boggs & Hill during their entire ownership of said ground, the counci bas taken forcible possession of the ground and has proceeded Lo use the same as a stroet without any authority at law whatever. The old council, after baving sifted the question to the bottom, and having at first obwained the advice and opinion of City At torney Wobster, could 860 but one wiy 0f procedure open and that was to proceed lawfully to condemn' and appropriute the ground or 10 vacate and yield possession of the same to Boggs & Huill, the lawful owners, e VANDEREILL SKELE LONS. of the Commodore's Sackweil's Island, EW YORK, Feb. 28.—(Special Telegram to Tue Bek. |—Another skeleton in the Vau- derbilt closet has come o light, Mrs, Kath- eriue Frances Allen, vee Lockwan, who claims to be the widow of Commodore Cor- nelius Vanderbilt's grandson, Willam 1.
