PASSED WITH VERY LITTLE DISCUSSION Electric Rallway Company to Present the Board with Title to the Right of Way at November Meeting and Agrees to the Conditions Pre The board of supervisors, at thelr meeting yesterday took up for consideration the proposition of the Council Bluffs & Manawa Blectrie Rallway company with reference to a right of way, which was the subject of an afternoon’s discussion on Friday. But little was sald by the members, but they had evi- dently talked it over in private and come to a unanimous conclusion, for when they had spent a whole afternoon In getting to the bottom of the stack of papers in which no- body was particularly interested it took them about two minutes to read and adopt the following resolution just before adjourn- ing: Whereas, The Council Bluffs & Lake Man- awa Blectric Street Railway company has offered to procure for the public sufficient of the real estate adjoining the public highway known as the I. 8. Wright road, No. 5, south of the city limits of the city of Council Blufts and for a distance of three-fourths of a mile, to make said highway for said dis- nce of a uniform width of 100 feet, and ks for a right of way over a strip of said bighway, when widened to 100 feet, sixteen feet in width along the east side of said high- way, for said distance, for the operation of a street railway thereon; be it Resolved, That the board of supervisors, deeming it to be to the best interests of the public that such privilege should be granted it sald street railway company ecomply with all the requirements and conditions that may be imposed by the board of supervisocs. Now, if on or before the November mect- ing of this board in 1894 the said street rall- way company shall secure for and dedicate to the public by good and sufficient. title, and free from all liens and incumbrances suffi- clent of the lands adjoining said highway to make it of a uniform width of 100 feet from the sowth line of the city of Council Blufts for a distance of three-fourths of a mile, the title to which must be satisfactory to the board of supervisors, and by them ap- proved, which approval shall be discretion- ary with the board of supervisors, and said rallway company shall furnish an abstract of title to said land so dedicated to the pub- lic, and all deeds for said land shall be ac- cepted, and, in addition thereto, if said street railway company shall accept all con- ditions and restrictions and requirements imposed by the board and required of said street raflway company by this board, then this board of supervisors will grant to sald street railway company said right of way over said strip of highway, subject to any and all conditions, restrictions and require- Tents that this board shall see fit to make and impose, which terms, conditions, restric- tions and requirements must be acecpted by sald street rallway company. But this reso- lution and action of this board is in no wise intended as a grant, conditional or other- wise, of any right of way over sald highway. 2,00 DRYESS PALTERNS 81,23, fennison Bros, MONDAY'S SPECIAL BARGAINS, 200 dress patterns of beautiful novelty 36- inch dress goods, in al colors and black, 7 yards to each pattern, regular price is 2.00, Monday choice for $1.25 pattern.

The populist county convention, which i to be held In this city next Tuesday, will not be a very large or enthuslastic affair, Judging from the ciucuses held in the eity iday night. In only three wards were there enough populists present to transact any business, and even there but little inter- est was manifested. The general impression seems to be that the Tuesday convention will merely be held for the purpose of going through the motion of endorsing the demo- cratic ticket, and that is the main reason for the lack of enthusiasm. Even the most sanguine democrats are admitting that the clash that took place Thursday between the democratic delegates and the representative of the popullsts was an unfortunate affair from a political standpoint. The populists merely requested a little more consideration for the sale of their principles in the shape of a couple of representatives on the county ticket. The request was politely but firmly sat down upon, and Rev. George Muller was told to tell his men that if the populists did not go ahead and vote and work for the election of the democratic county ticket the name of Geneial Weaver would be withdrawn from the democratic congressional ticket and the suppori of the entire democratic party would be withdrawn. This sort of talk proved anything but grateful to the wounded feelings of the populist leaders, and it is glven out cold that the rod that did the smiting will not be kissed very much longer. The following delogates were selected in the three wards where there were enough gathered 10 meke out a list: First Ward — A. M. Hutchinson, 8. 8. Shepard, C. L. Glllette, J. L. Jones, J. 8.

The $10,000 libel suit of Justice Ovide Vien against the World Publishing company came 0 an unexpected end yesterday morning in 11» district court, whea the demurrer filed by the defendant was sustained by the court, The article on which the suit was based stated that the Justice went to the office of another justice, where some beer was being stored while search warrant proceedings were pending for the destruction of liquor, and amused himself by squirting the fluld to the celling by means of the pump, and that he also drank some of it. The article was set forth In full in the petition, but Judge Macy, In passing upon the case yester- day, decided that the facts alleged did not furnish a good cause for action. BOSTON STORE.

The ladies have struggled for years to maintain it and pay purchasing: and improvement debts. The hope is that by January 1 1895, very many of these debts will be wiped out. With this in view Miss Clara B. Goodman has been invited to give the “Jabr Markt” for the benefit of the hos- pital. She comes from New York, highly recom- mended by New York men and women of prominence in religious and social circles, by parties of distinction in Chicago, Minne- apolls, St. Paul and other places, where she has given entertainments that were highly enjoyable and very remunerative. The foundation of the entertainment is Browning's poem, “The Pled Piper of Hamelin,” in which there will be at least 200 performer Many of the national dances will be given, together with statuary, Delsarte movements. The ‘Jahr Markt” will be conducted by beautiful German women, in a very attrac- tive manner. It will be given during the first week in October. Until that time Miss Goodman will devote herself to the training of the young people. They will be delighted with her instructions and charmed with her personal attractions. J. J.

White, a former well known plumber of Omaha, solved a mystery yesterday after- noon by returning to this city after an ab- sence of four years, during which time he has been searched for by the detectives of this and other cities. He had been given up as dead by his friends and relatives. The case Is a most remarkable one. A man who had lived In Omaha for six years and had built up a very large and profitable business, dresses for a drive, drops out of sight, and for four years has been considered dead to the world. He suddenly returs with a vague story of his wanderings and struggles, while his relatives were employing the detective forces of several cities to obtain a clew to his whereabouts or evidence of his death, which they had been forced to believe the solution of his mysterious and i able disappearance. 1 suly then boarding at White, Crem'r flats, at Fif- teerth and Cass ts, packed a small grip and told his landlady, Mrs. Bradley, that he was going (o drive to Bellevue, He did not return to his boarding place, but at 6 o'clock that evening drove to his office in the Exposition building and invited Mr. Welshans, who was in the office, to drive to Ceurtland Beach with him, Mr. Welshans declined the invitation on account of the lateness of the hour, and White drove away, which was the last seen of him in Omaha urtil yesterday, when he surprised some of his former friends by dropping in upon th and talking of affairs as though had not out of the city more a weok. White had been In Omaha for six or seven years and had made monev. At the time of his disappearance he had a number of large contracts on hand, one for §7,000. He did not owe ¢ny one anything and lways ha plenty of ready cash with him. He drank some, but not to excess, and was what is gererally known as a good fellow, spent his money freely, as h2 made it easily, and, of course, had many friends. RUMORS OF ROBBERY. When Mr. White disappeared he was known to have had a large sum of money on his person. He had collected cash on several big contracts, and had at least $1,000 in currency with him on the day he started for his drive, which ended in a four years' vacation from Omaha. This fact led to all sorts of rumors, He had had trouble at Courtland -Beach on the occasion of a visit there with some toughs, and it was thought by some of his friends that he had met the gang again and had been murdered. The strongest argument against this theory wi the failure of all investigation and search to locate Mr. White's horse and buggy. He drove a handsome blooded horse with a fine buggy, and these were also missing, and no trace of them could be obtain Some time after the announcement of Mr. White's disappearance his brother, G. W. White of Springfield, Ill., came to Omaha and spent some time and a large sum of money in employing the detective forces of this and other western cities in a search for the missing man. Not the slightest clew was obtained, however, and Mr. White's brother and relatives gave him up as dead It was also reported that a well known man of Omaha, who had been in business, but was then In straitened circumstances, had something o do with White's disappear- ance. He was reported to have attempted to rob White while they were out driving and then to have threatenzd to kill him if he made any report of the trouble and attempted robbery. This report appears to have been the correct one, although it had nothing to do with White's suddzn departure from his home and business in Omaha. Of course when White's former friends found him yesterday evening he was plied with questions about his reasons for leaving Omaha and was asked for an account of his doings for the past four years. His answ:rs to the queries were as strange, although un- doubtedly truz, as was his disappearance. HE TELLS HIS STORY. Mr. White says he had no idea whatever of leaving Omaha when he started on his drive to Courtland beach on the evening of Wednesday, July 30, 1894, He was accom- panied on the drive by a friend, who was in business in Omaha, but whose name he fuses yet to divulge. He says the man Is still here and is somewhat prominent in business and soclal circles. They drove out to Susseman’ road house, and while there the business man asked for a loan of $50, The request was granted, and in giving the money White displayed a roll of about $1,000. The matter was not commented on at the time, except that the business man asked if that was not too much money to carry around so carelessly. They had several drinks and, White says, both became slightly intoxicated. He now thinks that he was drugged by his supposed friend. On the re- turn trip, while driving through some high weeds on the bottoms, his friend said: “Look there,” pointing to one side of the road. White says he looked to the point in- dicated and turned only to cateh his com- panion trying to brain him with a loaded cane. He warded off the blow, and at the same time noticed that his companion was trying to get into his hip pocket, where he carried the money. White says he then changed b's money and placed it in his right hand pocket, in his pantaloons, and told his companion that if it was the money he was after he would not get it. He says the man attempted to get the money several times before they got back to Omaha, and when they finally reached the city White sald that he must have the $50 back before 6 o'clock the next evening or he would report the at- tempted robbery to the police. The com- panion replied with the threat that he would kill White if he ever told the police or any- body else of the attempted robbery. Then comes the strange part of White's story. He had nothing definite in his mind except that he was not ready to go to his room and to bed. He started to drive down the street, and was out east of Council Blufts before he realized in what direction he was going. He had been worrying for some time over a patent he had pending in Washington for a fire escape. While driving along the road it occurred to him that he might drive to Washington and see how his invention was getting on. He was In that semi-intoxicated state in which notions take firm hold on theemind, and he says he seemed to think there was nothing out o the ordinary in his plan and purpose. There was no reason why he should not drive to Washington if he wished to do so. He had a good rig, plenty of money in his pocket and time in abundance. REACHED THE CAPITAL. So he pursued his way, and finally reached the national capital. Here he found that his patent, while meeting all the requirements, would 'be practically useless without legislation In the various states demanding its use, and s he gave it up as too big 4 contract to handle and let it go. He does not seem to under- stand that his friends and relatives could be alarmed over his strange conduct, and it apparently never occurred to him to notify his friends of his whereabouts. He says he sold or gave away his horse and buggy, but he cannot remember now to whom, when or for what consideration. After leaving Wash- ington he started on a tramp through the country, and has been on the go ever since. Ho 13 a first-class bookkeepr and worked at that business when he could find employ- ment. When he could not get work on books he worked at a former trade, that of a har- ness maker, and has so made his living. He does not know just what he will do now, but may declde to remain in Omaha. Mr, White is looking quite as well, though not quite as prosperous, as when he lived in Omaha. He takes as & matter of course the events which his Omaba friends have considered strange and mysterious.

It was stirred up by the recent invasion of California fruit and by Mr. Glad- stone's recommendation to small British farmers to give up growing wheat and take to fruit growing. In this connection Mr. Richard B. Blackmore, the novelist, who for forty years has been a large fruit growes upon his model farms in Surrey, has written a letter to the Times in which he says It is impossible at the present wholesale prices of English fruit to make a fair profit. He adds that the most magnificent grapes bring 2 shillings a pound on an average, and that fine peaches bring 2 shillings per dozen He quotes plums at 1 shilling to 3 shillings yer seive, and pears at 2 shillings 6 pence to 4 shillings per bushel, and says they are scarcely ealable at any price. Apples alone, says Mr. Blackmore, would give a fair re- turn if the British farmers only had them. In the face of these facts, which can only become more adverse every year, Mr. Black- more exp! s the opinion that it would be a cruel deception to talk of profitable fruit growing in England. William White of Covent Garden Market today in a column (ells .that the trouble is that the bulk of the English fruit trees are maggotty, whilo in America the fruit grower destroys the moth by washing the trees. Up to a fortnight ago 4 shillings was the top price for the best English pears. At the same time he was selling thousands of forty-pound cases of California pears at 1 shilling to 14 shillings per case. In con- clusion, Mr. White says: “The public are the best judges, and they prefer this price for a first-class article rather than to buy English pears at 2 shillings 1 pence to 4 shillings per bushel.” The Times, comment- ing on the subject, remarks: Foreign com- petition 1s increasing, and must be expected to increase. Covent Garden prefers the finest foreign frult to home grown fruit, and we suppose It follows the public tastes. man Steamer Ashore.
