PERTAINING T0 THE POLICE Gang of Burglars Broken Up by the Vigilanos of the Officers. FLEMING TELLS OF THE LARSEN ROBBERY Al Plans Were Laid and Carrled Out With- out Diffculty—Mrs, Gilmnore Admits that Bhe Hus Been Stealing Everything In Sight—Police Brevities. At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon the police $udge called up the cases against Fleming, ‘Welch, Aikin ana Scales, four of the men who were implicated in the burglary of the Larsen tailor shop. The complaint was read and Fleming and Welch waived examination. Their bond was fixed at $1,600 apiece, which amount could not be furnished and the prisoners will spend the rest of the summer in the county jail. Harvey Scales, the hackman who hauled the plunder away, decided Yo stand trial and plead not guilty to the charge of burglary. Welch was called to the stand and after being told by the judge that he need not criminate himsell he went ahead and told his story. He said that Fleming ana Aikin proposed the job to him and that he fell in with them. He then described the work as already given in Fleming's confession, omitting of course his own part in the affair, except saying that he helped load the goods into the hack. Cuptain Mostyn testified as toa talk he had with Scales, Witness said that the de- fendant claimed that Aikin and Fleming approached him on the night in question and told him that they haa a load for him. They drove tothe alley near the store and the hack was loaded. The carriage was then driven to Mrs. Gilmore’s house. There wasn't anything startling or new in the policeman’s testimony. Fleming was called next. He admittea having beon ong f the wang and told about hiring the hack, but in- sisted that Scales did not know when he was hired whav kind of work he was going to do. In his own behalf the defendant took the stand and tola about the same as already related. He insisted that he did not sce the goods piled into or unloaded from his hack, as he did nov leave the box from the time he was hired until he got back to Douglas street. The attorney for the defense asked for a dismissal and the case was argued. Judge Berka reserved his decision until today, when Aiken's trial will come up. Yesterday forenoon Mitch Fleming, one of the men implicated in the robbery of the tailor shop, sent word to Chief Detective Hazo that he would like to have a talk with bim and Haze' had Fleming taken to a private room ut once. Then tho prisoner told his story of the robbery. Ho said that Jim Aiken told him that Larsen had just Iaid in a big stockof goods and proposed that thoy gota hack and carry the stuff away. Fleming was willng ana spoke to Buck Keith, but Buck declined to go into the deal, 50 Aiken went down town and got Harvey Scalos to agreo to usc his hack. *Humpbacl Welch and William Nixon broke 1nto the place while Aiken watched on Sixteenth street for a policeman and Flem- ing on Fifteenth street. The hack stood in the alloy near Fiftcenth strect. As the bolts of cloth were® carricd out Scales piled thew: up in the hack, and then Aiken and Fleming climbed 1 on top of the goods and the carriage was driven to Mrs. more's residence. The crime yus committed between 10 and 10:30 o'clock in the evening, duving the hard ran All implicated were to have an equal share in the spoil Mrs. Jennie Guillemot or Gilmore and her sister, I2va Thompson, were also aigned in the police court yesterday and charged with receiving stolen property to the amount of §30. The women waived a preliminary examination and bail was fixed at $1,000 each. Another compluaint was then read to Mrs, Gilmore alleging the larceny of $300 worth of diamonds from the Brunswick hotel. In this case us in the other ths prisoner waived examination and bond was fixed at B800. The attorney for the women said that he expected to arrange bonds for his clients, These complaints will not, however, end Mrs. Gilmore's troubles. According to De- tective Haze the woman, while scwing ac Mrs. Burts house, 2112 Cass street stole silks and jewelry valued at $60. This crime she has confessed. Guests of the Madison hotel are to come in for a little interest in the case also, for the prisoner keeps on con- fessing as often as she is placed in the sweat box. She admits having taken cloth- ing, jewelry and dinmonds from the people at that place. This aftornoon Detective Haze will take Mrs. Gilmore out to her home and compel her todigup the stuff stolen from Mrs. Burt and from the Madi- aking about the case Chief Haze Mrs, Gilmore is, besides being a con- ned kleptomaniac, s very cheerful and willing prevaricator. She” has told me enough falsehoods to make a book, but bo- fore she gets through talking she generally breaks down and confesses to some new theft. “The police are naturally greatly pleased to know that the, huve broken up ‘at least one gang of thieves who have been working tho town for the past fow months, Murs, Eva Thompson, sister of Mrs. Gil- more, furnished 81,000 bonds yesterday after- noon ana was given her liberty, There isn't much hope of Mrs. Gilmore being able to furnish $1.800 bonds and she will most likely romain in jail until her case is called in the district court. Con'usion of Nam Deputy Comptroller Westberg's confidence 1 his ability to distinguish between men of different nationalities whose only claim to distinction lies in the appendix affixed to their names was soverely shaken yesterday afterncon when he discovered that a city war- rant in the sum of #47.90 belonging ta Peto Peterson had been delivered to Poter Poterson, who could rightfully only claim $12 from the municipality. The county ofii- cer not possessing an indeliblo impression of the countenuuces of the two men on the tablots of lis memory, was unable to furnish a deseription as to who was the *son” or the “son” or which was Peter, the Swede, or ‘Pete, the Dane. The former subject of King Oscar had only worked a few days for the eity, some little time ago, when repairing the dumage occasioned by 'wushouts was made ne sary, while the one formerly owing allegiance to Denmark's monarch is a regu- lar city employ e, under direction of the park board, The Peter-“'son” calling for his warrant received the “'sen’s,” as well as the cash thereon, from the' city treasury, making thereby a clear gain of "835.90, which, how- ever, landed him ultimately in the city bas- tile, while the inscription **forgery" adorned the volice register opposite his name, Ofticer Blpom was the cause of the latter, and when first called upon to unravel the m{ller'_v in pames he was a littlo at sea him- self, but the clever guardian of the peace, after. huluins bigh and low all after- noon, ~ solved the problem by the arrcst of the right party on the corner of Thirteenth and Farnam streets at 7 o'clock last night. Poter had only 88 upon his person, having taken & cargo of liquor aboard, the cosy price of which he had taken out of Petor's money. Skipped with the Cash. George Baker Le Val, a young man who has been working for the Boston store in this city, was put in charge of a sack con- taining about §20 in cash yesterday morn. ing. He inmediately left the swore and - went to the lowa side of the Missouri with wvisions of Lake Manawa and bullheads danc- ing before his eyes. The police of Council Blufts were noufled of the affair and a de- scription was furnished. About half an hour after he left Omaha Oficer Kemp of Councit Bluffs ran across him and roped him in. Thé Omaha authorities were notified, and during the afternoon one of the ofticials went over and brought the young man back with hiw for a trial. He did not have the ;, mouey with him, but said he had it planted in Omaha. He agreed to fing iv for his em- ployers. Narrow Escape of Burglars, E. W. Norris, the well known shoe man, iives out on Forty-third street uear Dodge. He went home late last night and found his bouse brilliantly lighted. This was unusual a8 his family was & and he knew that something was wrong. A hasty cxamination revealed the fact that burglars were making rendy to carry everything away from the house. Mr. Norris took in situation at a glance and acted promptly. Ho summoned several trusty neighbors and made an ad- vance upon the rear door of the house, s it haa been dtscovered that the burglars had entered that way. The attacking party ad- vanced rapidly and ganed a posi- tion of = vantage just in time to see the burglars escape down the streot, en the awful discovery was made that the front door had been open all the time, a fact of which the burglars seemed to have been well aware, Nothing_in the b arrival of Mr. Norri use was disturbed, the having been timely. Charged with Shooting High Eagle, The case against J. H. Vickory for shoot- ing High Eagle, near Fort Omaha July 26, was called in police court just before noon yesterday. The defendant is charged with shooting with intent to kill. Lieutenant Wilson of the Second infantry, at present in command of the Indian company, was in court with two witnesses and ar interprotor. “‘White Horse" and “Dan Crowe" were tt.e witnesses and ‘‘Charles Merrivale,” another full-blood Sioux, was brought along as intor- preter. The latter said that **High Eagle's™ Indian name was Wambli Wankatuya. Licutenant Wilson stated that the Indian was slowly getting better, and that while the physician did not_expect his patient to ever get entirely well, e was satisfied now that he would live for some time. The trouble in doctoring an Indiun, the lieuten- ant said, was that while sick they always refused to talk, and that it was impossible to agcertain their feelings or exact condition. Minor Pollce Matters. . Jim Boyle was arrested by Officer Fisk at Twenty-fourth and Decatur stroets Wednes- day night on the charge of being drunk and insulting ladies on the streets. Jim was quite gay when he was taken to tho station, but after he had a short session with the police Judge this morning he did not feel so funuy. E. A. Rye was arrested yesterday mormng for attempting to defraud theArcade hotel out of u 16 bill. He squared the matter up and was allowed to depart. Isaac Clark was fined $30 and costs for abusing his family. prsaba TN $1_Excursalon to Burlington Beach—81.

Judge Wakeley and Assistant City Attor- ney Cornish have filed their answer in thoe case of St. A D. Balcombe vs the city of Omaha, Counsel for the defense doubts the appoint- mentof Major Balcombe and acknowledges his services as a member of the Board of Public Works from July, 1892, and furvher admits that the act of the legislaturo of April §, 1803, seoms to have been legally passed and enacted, but claims admit as to the truth of ‘the statements regarding the proceedings of the two houses of the legis- lature. Defendant further admits that on or about April13, 1803, the mayor assumed and pre- tended to appoint plaintiff to be streot com- missioner until the first Tuesday in July, but denics the right of the mayor to make Such appointmentand claims that his acts with reference to the said _pluntiff are null and void, and that plaintiff did not duly act as street commissioner nor file nor offer to file o band for the faithful performance of his dutics, and that, hence, he aid not qualify. Dofendant further denies that salary was due the major at the rate of $2,000 per annum, nor at any rate exceeding $1,000, and admits refusing 1o pay plaintift at the rate demanded.

Outcault and all the stockholders of tho defunct banlk, to recover $5,000 and interest on a note for that amount that was given the Capital National last December by the Western Manufactur- ing company by Manager Hurlbut. It 18 alleged that the latter concern was then insolvent, as the manager well knew, and that it was his intention to defraud the holder of the note when it fell due six months later. It is also alleged that Mosher was o party to the fraud, and that when he en- dorsed the note 1o the plaintiff he knew that tho maker was insolvent.

The American Loan and Trust company is once more in charge of its own affairs, as Judge Dundy issued an order yesterday morn- ing discharging tho receiver and allowing the oficers of the institution to assume the management which was taken out of their hands a fow weeks ago. The order was the result of au_amicable settlement which was reached between the directors and stoes- holders, the latter dismissing their suit and consenting to have the former macagement resumed. Receiver Rainey promptly turned over the business to President Carter. The report of the receiver shows that the concern was ! forced 1uto liguidation by the financial de- pression, und states that'it is only a que: tion of time when the company will be able torealizo on its securities. Mr. Rainey a peared in court yestorday morning with a report of what he had done, and on showing the | that hie had properly turned over all the | property that had been placed in his pos session, asked that bis boud be discharged. BEDROCK HAS BEEN REACRED COomptroller Mink of the Overland Route Talks of Heroio Economy. RAILROAD ~ RETRENCHMENT CONTINUES Further Reductlons on the Unlon Pacific Must Be Mad enger Service to Be Discontinued—The Burlin ton Reduces Its Fore ‘‘Physically, the Union Pacific is in ex- cellent said Comptioller Oliver W. Minks yesterday morning, *‘but financially we arecompelled to retrench in every depart- ment. Wo have met our August interest and the other obligations falling due on that date, with money to spare. but so gloomy is the outlook that our attention is wholly dirccted toward cutting down expenses, **When I was in Omaha several weeks ago things looked more hopeful than they do now. Nebraska and portions of Kansas promise magnificent returns, but the enormous trackage of the Union Pacific west of North Platte gives little hope of yielding satisfactory returns for ninety and possibly for 120 days. The western section of this continent is in a condition thac absolutely requires from us the most aggressive attempts at retrench- ment. The movement of the commodities from these western sections has completely stopped, to our great detriment. Our yards are filled with empty freight cars, our en- gines are lying idle in _the round houses, due to the complete stagnation in business,” *Then you have reMhed bedrock?” inti- mated the newspaper man, “‘Bedrock has been reached,” said the financial light of the Union Pacitic system, 8 man who for fiftcen years has followed its various fortunes, hopeful, conservative, a?™ ways on the side thata brighter day was coming for the ten thousand and odd miles o|{ travk that stretches away to the horizon's rim, ‘‘But we must have something more than bedrock at this time to counteract the in- fluences at work. We will be compelled to reduce our forces still further and may pos- sibly have to cutsalaries to meet the present exigencies. This last is a step which we will discuss very consorvatively before taking, but it will probably have to be considered Mr. Clark's well known seatiment regarding the men in his employ will postpone this action to the last moment, but when full othier sources fail to meet the requirements, then the last resort must be accepted as in. ovitable. ‘‘As 10 a receivership, it hasn’t even heen thought of. Wo are mecting our obligations as they fall due. Our credit is first- S8, and ph there nothing coming in. are not moving; corn is not yet harvested: wheat is practically a failure in Kansas and Nebraska, Colorado, you know, has shut down her silver mines and the country west feels the force of the situation. These are conditions and not theories that confront the railroad man. and they must be met, “‘Corporations are represented to be soul- less, but we do know the young men in Omaha and in Denver are not particularly well paid, and therefore a reduction in sal- ar will be thought only at the last mo- ment. Iam hopeful that this will not bo necessary, but in these times one cannot tell what will be necded to meet a stressful situ- ation.” While Mr. Mink did not say so, it is under- stood that traordi i board of directors of the Union Pacific sys- tem has been called for next Tuesday Boston, when it is thought the dire after the whole situation is explaingd to them by Mr. Mink, will order a decrease in salaries, Following up the order for retrenchment on the Union Pacific some 1,600 miles of Dussenger service will be discontinued on Sunday, trains Nos. 7 and 8 between Ogden and Portland being takenoff. This will give that large section of country only a day ser- vice, the night service being abandoned. As an example of the sombreness that exists in railroad circles it is statod by a gentleman who knows whereof he speaks that 150 telegraph operators have been dis- ] iu‘gud from the service of the Union Pa- cifie, Commodities WAS A TROUBLE BREEDER, Abandonment by the Sants Fo of Its St. Louis-Chieago Connection. CiicaGo, Aug. 3.—The Saata Fe will RO out of the passenger business between Chi- cago and St. Louis. On August 10 it will abrogate its traffic agreement with the ksonville Southeastern, which is now its | ¢. Louis end so far as Chicago is concerned, Its intention in this respect was announced today. The reason for this action is that the Jack- sonville Southeastern has become too heavy a load for the Santa Fe to carry. It has not been paying exnonses, nta Fo has now to meet the defic reason for tho step is that the Jacksonville has proved unmanageable. It has kept its Chicago end in a state of constunt turmoil and harrass- ment, and through its rate-cutting proc ities 1t has been the cause of several wars, Ixtensi reductions are to be made in the passenger service of the Burlington road. Trains are to be dispensed with wherever this can be done without serious inconvenience o the public, Three through trains are now running daily betwi Den- ver and Chicago. One of these will be done away with and similar action will be tuken with trains on other divisions. These reductions have become necessary in the in- terest of economy, and on account of the falling off in general travel because of hard times. The changes now under contempla- tion will go into effect August 13. The wross earnings of the Milwaikee & St. Paul road for the month of July de- ased §209,000 as compared with those of the samo month last year. For the fourth week 1n the month the decrease was §57,000. Oun the other hand, the estimated gross earnings of the Rock 1sland for July were $1,542,114.56, un increase of §66,097.05 as com- pared with the estimated earnings for July, 1809, Burlington Also Ketrodching, The Union Pacific is not alone in the mael- stiom of hard times, The Burlington on Avigust 13 will abandon some 1,700 miles of passenger service, latting out in consequence at round houses, machine shops between Plattsmouth and McCook Inclusive, and St. Joe and Oxford, between 300 and 400 men, The trains to be ontinued uext Sun- day on the Burlington are: Nos. b and 6 between McCook and Denver, Nos. 13 and 14 between Oxford and St. Joe, A branch train between Hastings and Oberlin., A branch train between Kearney and Kenesaw. Oue traingbetween Facific Junetion and Lincoln, D . One train between Kansas City and Atchi- son. - Mr. foldrege, speaking of this new order, sald: “Our busingss demands that we re- duce our service wherever possible. The truth of the matter is we have been giving better passenger service than eastern roads situated in lika condition. We are not earn- ing expenses on them and therefore must curtail. 8o far as [ know it will not inter- fere with the important mail service, as it still gives one passenger train daily on the southern lines, Of course, we hope this 18 cally we are in ood condition, But | ors, | | thous but untid things take a turn we must cut down wiesever possibie. ham liopeful wawtm, brighter day is about to dawn.

An Infant Kowa Jolus the Mogals, The Rock Island #allowed suit of the four other great linesfin’this state by rushing into fedoral court yesterday with an ap- plication for a vestraining order to prevent the enforcement of the maximum rate bill. The bilk was almost an exact copy of those filed in the othor cases, and was filed by Hon. J. M. Woolworth, who has the fight in charge on behalf of all the roads. Samuel W. Allerton figured as the complaining stock- holder of the company, but alleged that a number of others were in the same box as himself. The order asked for was against the officers and agents of the road and the mem- bers and sccretaries of the State Board of Transportation, and it was signed by Judge Dundy as soon as presented. Ail of the larger roads are now arrayed on equal foot- ing agninst the bill, the last one to come in being the one which was to have enjoyed ex- emption from its provisions until 1809. The Pacific Short Line, which is still out in the cold, is the other of tho infant roads that is cxempt, and it scoms to be fairly well satis- tied with the situation. | d Pios.

Adolph Widtfeldt, a teamster in tho em- ploy of the Cady & Gray Lumber company, was killed about 10 o'clock yesterday fore- noon nea: Thirtieth and Dodge streets by a runaway team, According to the statements of eye wit- nesses the team was first scen coming over the hill on Dodge street near Thirty-fourth street. The mules were on a run, and when the Thirtieth street crossing was reached the driver was thrown on to the cross trees and the mules began to kick. Ome of the clevis pins had broken, letting the singletree down onto the heels of one of the mules, and this accident was the cause of tho runaway. Wadtfeldt hung on to the doubletrees until he was kicked off. He fell under one of the front wheels, which run over nim, und then the rear wheels threw the limp body into he gutter. The frightened animals were aught about Twenty-ninth street by Jack Moore and George Channel, two prisoners '\Jv)lu were workiug on the strset gang near Dr. Ayres, veterinary surgeon, was travel- ing the same road and the mules gave him a hard chase. Mr, Ayres finally turned out and let the frightened animals go by, He then went back to where the injurea man lay and helped pick him up and take him toa shady spot by the side of the road. Once only did Widtfeldt try to speak. He asked for water. When he opened his lips the blood spurted out and a moment later he was dead. The coroner was called and had the body removed to the morgue. The deceased wus a single man about 45 cars of age and boarded at 1622 Harney street. He had been in the employ of the lumber company for nearly five years, and was considercd & sober, industrious man and a careful driver, An examination of the body showed a fracture of the skull over the right eye, where he had been kickea byone of the mules, and several bruises on his breast, where the snimals had kicked him, Coroner Maul has not yet decided when he will hold an inquest.

July Was a Faial Month, In Omaha. as Elsewhere, for Chlidren, The report of the Board of Health for July has been prepared. So far as the prevalence of contagion is concerned the report shows the city to be free almost wholly from that. On the other hand, the number of deaths re- corded is tho largest known for any one month. The highest number of deaths ro- “corded in any one month of last year was 116, while this year it.is 13l. The July mortuary record discloses the fact that the greatest number of deaths have becn among the children, the result of the midsummer complaints so generally prevailing among the little ones. During July there were reported to the board thirty-threo cases of con- tagious diseases, divided us follows, with Diphthe 5 cases and ths; scarleting, 3 cases and ths ; typhoid fover, 1 case and 1death ; measies, 26 cases and 8 deaths. Of tho ases those not proving fatal , and no now cases have been oported, which leaves the city free from contagion of any character. ‘The number of burials in_Omaha reached 170. Of this number 157 were recorded deaths occuring in this city, cight prema- ture births und’ five burials’ from outside. ‘The mortality amoug the different ages was as follows: Under L year.. Between's and 3 ‘yeurs, Botween 2 and 5 yeurs 5 und 10 year: 10 and 20 years 0 and 30 years. 80 und 30 yours.: 40 and 50 yours 50 und 60 years. 60 and 70 years 70 and B0 years, . 167 L be seen that out of the 157 deaths cighty-nine were among children under 5 years of age.
