Gravesis Wanted Outside —She Was A Missourian -A Street Waif That Didw't Know Annie Rooney - Minor Mentior An innocent bird from the country came into the city some days ago and had quite an | experience with sharpers before he was al- | lowed t0 go back home. He gave his name as A. €. Conger aud said he hailed from De- catur county, Kansas. About ten days ago he took a team of horses and stavted for Waterloo, Neb., for the purpose of dis posing of the teamn, hoping to realize more from the team than if he sold it at home. When he arrived at Waterloo he found that there was no demund for horses, and decided, on the advice of a friend, to go to Omaha. Therche came across a smooth looking indiviaual who showed the country- uan @ coupleof patent horse-clippers, which completely took the latter's eye, and after a while offered to give him tue clippers in ex- chauge for his team. The team was a fine one, but Coneer must hase those clippers, and a bargain was entered into in everything In‘a day or two Conge of the river, where lie be with Jay Horton, a burtender in au Uppel Broadway saloon. Horton also became struck with the horse-clippers and offered to give him a 200 notw for them. Conger jumped at the chance and the trade was Charles Warner, who owns the sa- i the case atthis juncture and o Conger two $100 notes in ex- change for his one note of #20. After some dickering this bargain was also made aad the two notes, bearing the siznature of L. B Brown, were transferred to the haads of the verdant stranger. Before long Jimmie Maher won the man's confidence, by telling him that he had som sisters that bought notes, but that tl would want to see the notes before they would invest. He was sure that 1f be would let him the papers a little while he could work up a sile whereby Conger would get the face value on them. So Maher was allowed to take the notes. When he returned an hour latter it was without the notes or the moncy. When sked about it, he replied that he had met a friend to whom he had showed the notes with a view to finding out whether or not they were worth anything. His friend had taken tho notes, and after looking at them, had remarked carelessly, “They're no good,” and tore them up. of course, but didu’t see how he could helpit, By tiis time it had begun to dawn upon the tunocent Kansan that he had been the victim of ascheme which would have taken innobody but the greenest of greenhorns. He hustled around and cousulted a lawyer, and before longz papers were issued for the arvest of Jimmic Maher on the chargeof cheating by false pretences, Yesterday Maher was brought before Jus- tico Patton for ahearmg. In the meantime something had happened toConger, and he was 10 where tobe found, Some one said that the last that was seen of him he was in the company of Maher's friends ne dead drunk. He did not show up at ail, and Maher was discharged for waut of prosecu- tion. side nte me to this Ane acq; wanted to gi CORSET SALE.

Thoaction of the city conneil, in revoking the charter of the Council Bluffs und Omaha street railway company over all streets on which they have not now trains actually in operation, causcd no little stiv among the citizens yesterday. That the council would and so flemly against that mighty organization, which has heretofore had things just about as it ploased, had never been dreamed of. Asa general thing, however, the fecling over the matter seemed to be that the move wus in the right direction, especially among the citizens who have been compeliea ¥y by law to recover the money which they ‘had paid for the paving of the street between the tracks, “The members of the motor com pany 1ot to feel any anxiety over the action of the council. One of them thus expressed his views yesterday: It makes no difference to us what the council does ns long as they don’t do anything that hurts us any worse than that does, Why, they've no right to pass any such ordinance us that. The su- preme court has ruled that a city ordinance such as the oncunder which we™ built and are operating our line takes the nature of a contract, and when we once go to work under the contract and show by our actions that we mean to accept it, the contract becomes binding and tbhey can’t come in and abro- gate it any more thanl can abrogate that little bill I owe atmy tailor's. So you see we can afford to lie back and laugh ‘at the city's lawmakers when they try to get the better of us in any such way." Ote of the council who was in the lead in favor of the passageof the ordinance spoke as follows: “‘One of the causes that led to last night's action was the overbearing way in which we were treated when we went be- fore the company to reduce the fare across the cents. They showed very plainly that their motto was, take but never gi Our revocal of their right of way may never amount toanything until the company wants to put down a new branch, but just as soon as they do that, the property owners will raise a fuss, and before they get through with it the question whether or mot we have the right to pass such an ordinance will have to be decided by the supreme court.” Best heavy goods, 25 per cent off, cash, Reiter, the tailor, 310 Broadwa; Call on Schurz-Smith Co. for chattel loans and real estate. 20 Poarl st, e J.C.

The Canadian farmers bave county organiza- tions for social and literary purposes, but they exert little influence in politic: alliance proposes to takeup these partially arganized bodies and bave them exert political fnfluence similar to that of tho alliance on this side of the border. for getting intothe coming varliamentary | struggle, but every effort possible will be made i that direction, and outside this the alliance will equip itself for future political work in the Dominion, The Canadian farm- ers are strongly in favor of reciprocity, and the action of the alliance will be dirccted largely towards securing trade relation be- tween the United States and Canada. It is thought that united political action by the Canadian farmers in favor of reciprocity will accomplish the overturow of Sir John Ma donald and his tory adherents, who long lave pursued a policy hostilo to the United States. MNULTA FOR THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION, General McNulta of Illinois has been here for some time, ostensibly for the purpose of representing the Vandertilt roads in the Cangdian railway problem, but a gentleman well informed on interstate commerce mat- ters said that it was quito probable that Gen- eral McNulta's visit would_prove w0 be on an entirely different and much more important mission, It is believed that he will bo named asone of the interstate commerce commissioners, either to succeed Judge Thomas M. Cooley of Michigan, or to fill the yacancy now existing on the ' comimission, Jud has been at his home in Ann Arbor, Mich., for the last three months, con- fined to the house most of the time with siclk- ness, ‘Those who are most, tamiliar with his condition say that he will never be ablo to return to the duties of the commission and { that his retirement is ouly a question of a short time. This leaves Commissioners Bragg, Veasey and Morrison to bear the bruut of the work of a commission intended to have five members. Two of these com- missioners are democrats and onerepublican, The appointments to the vacancy and to the successorship of Cooley will therefore be re. publicans in ordier thay Presdent Harrison may give the board a republican majority, to which it is properly entitled under a_repub- lican administration. General Me politics aud his wide experience in railvoad affairs therefore make him particnlarly avail- able for the commission, ‘I'hic only objection would be that Commissioner Morrison also hails from Illinois, but this s not regurded as o serious ohstacle, It would be largely offet by tho fact that the genoral’s position as_consulting | counsel of the Vanderbilt lines bring hin in direct and cordial association with Chaunce Depew, president of the Vauderbilt system, Mv. Depew's influence at the white house is well understood, and it is this fact mainly which has led 10’ the expectation that General McNulta may be tendered a position on the commission at no ant date.

Hartman, chief of the bureau of ac- | counts of the land office, are just coming to light. Hartman is from Findiay, 0., and owes his position to the friendly endorse- ment of ex-Governor Foraker, Some time since Recerving Clerk Haines bogan to miss small sums from the oftice safe, to which Hartman had access. He accused Hartman of the peculations and it is alloged traced amounts up to 200, which the chief of the bureau had abstracted on his private ac- count. It is said Hartman partially ad- mitted taking the funds and gave his noto for $100 as security for returning the money. This was some time ago and the ‘note has not yet been paid. In the meanti other Hartman notes have turned up in sucn profusion as to show that the security was worth nothing, as he was caryiug on a systematic course of borrowing. The matier was laid before Commissioner Groff with the further state- ment that Hartman had promised promotions to clecks in consideration of small loans to him. Hartman was brought back from Arizona, where he was attending to a land case, and was met by the charges, but his political influence kept them from gain ing publicity. Ttis also said that Hartman has xpediated claims beforo the bureau i con- sideration of favors to him, but the allegation has not been authenticated. > TRANSFER KETIRED ARMY OFFICERS. The house has passed the bill to transfer retired army officers wten they arrive at the retiring age of sixty-four vears from the dis- ability list, which is limited to 300, and place them on the retired list, which is unlimited. The measure was receatly described atlen gth in theso dispatches. It isascertained that the disability or limited retired list is more than full and there ave a large number of officers who have been scheduled for retire- ment on account of disability who cannot get upon the disability retired list because it is full. The presentlaw practically makes the retired list in both airections unlimited. MISCELIAN. 1, Nate Crary in New York.

The president has consulted the Ohio delegation in congress and has received expr ns from the lead- ing republicans in the state, aud Foster ap- pears to be so well recommanded and so thoroughly equipped and so well fitted for the place that it1s probable he will be asked into the cabinet, A STATEMENT FROM DOKSE Representative Dorsey of Nebraska today yoluntarily went before the house committed investigating thealleged silver pool and paid his respects to J. A. Owenby, the Chicago witness who d_the other day in an interview that a Nebraska congressman bad offered nim 2000 not to testify against so and so before the committee, Mr. Dorsey said he never saw Owenby 1o kiow him but once, and that was when he wa under arrest and in charge of the sergeant- atarms of the h He went into tho office of the ser, atarms to look at Owenby simply to sutisfy his curiosity, Ho nover talked with Owenby anywhero or any time about silver or anything elso, Owenby intended to convey the ides that he (Dorsey) hnd approached him in reference to testifylng boforethe comurittee he was a liar, puve and simple, an ordwary liar, too. Mr, Jorsey reiterated that he had never bought an ounce of silver bullion in his life or had an option upon it and had no interest in any form in the silverspeoulation, He’stated further that he believed this all to apply aud be true of both his eolleagy Mesirs. Connelland Laws, Both of the ter gentlemen make the same statement. Witnesses are being summoned by the mittee to impeach Owenby 0s @ witness. Several senators, representatives and privato s will testify. It appears that Owenby is very visionary and is constantly building air castles, He'represented while™ here that he broke the North River bank of New York by unloading alot of cheap stock which the institution was teying to *‘bull” upon the market, aud that he maden sharp drive by threatening to unload enormous Llocks of it »w the price fixed by the bauk. It is wi here that Owenby over owned a r's worth of anything. He is reported been @ small borrower. however, P2a many occasions.
