President Marvin Hughitt, General Mana- ger John M. Whitman and General Solicitor Lloyd W. Bowers of the Chicago & North- western system, arrived in Omaha yes- in President Hughitt's private "car one of the handsomest cars on wheels. President Hughitt shortly after his arrival called upon President Clark of the Union Pacifie. Between the two has been a friendship extending over many years. The visit, according to Mr. Hughitt, was of little significance. It was simply for pay- ing bis compliments (o the pres- ident and managing receiver of a friendly system of ralls. Mr. Hughitt stated that primarily his visit to Omaha was for the purpose of calling upon General J. B. Howley, general solicitor of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missourl Valley railway, who has been, and is now, a very sickuman, Upon the general situation, .80 far as rail- roads are concerned, the veteran president of the Northwestern had little to say, except that business was considerably oft on the system, which showed a decided decrease over the corresponding period of last year. ‘You can’t make business when there isn't any,"” sald Mr. Hughitt, “in view of the gen- eral depression that extends over a wide section of the western country. As to uny extensions at this time, they are out of the question, in view of the feeling in financial elrcles. 1 have taken advantage of the fayorablo weather to go over the system. Beyond this there Is nothing significant in my visit to Omaha at this time. In rallroad history there is no stronger character than Marvin Hughitt, having been actively engaged in rallway rervice sine 1856, In 1872 he became general superintendent of the Chicago & Northwestern; in 1876 eneral manager; in 1880 vice president, and in 1887 president of the great system of rails which covers nearly 8,000 miles. Agreelng on Slde Trips. There I8 now every indication that the Union Pacific and Rio Grande Western will arrive at an agreement over the question of side trips and stopovers, it having been in- timated yesterday that a compromise bad been suggested which seemed to meet with the support of both lines. However, there is yet a good deal of detall to be threshed over before the lines may unite on & general proposition. This matter has oc- cupled the attention of Union Pacifie offi- clals since last Saturday and the wires have been: kept busy with telegrams between Gen- eral Manager Dickinson and General Mana- g6r Dodge as to the possibilities of an agree- ment being reached. General ~ Passeuger the Union Paclfic stated that his Information was _ that ¢ eral Manager Dodge had agreed to the local Utah agreement and that wherever the Rio Grando Western would grant side trips in Utah the Union Pacific would grant stop- overs. As to other matters, they were in the hands of Chairman Caldwell, who would now proceed o get the lipes Interested into the general agreement. 80 far as the general proposition was con- cerned, said Mr. Lomax, the Union Pacific bad agreed, and it now remained for the Rio Grande Western to get into line, Agent Lomax Rallway Notes.

S DEAD IN THE RIVER, Oloef Cronwall Dump, The body of Olaf Cronwall was found in the river at the Jones street dump at day- light yesterday. The ice had frozen around the body, which was lying face downward in eight inches of water. From indications it would seem that the man had wandered down near the river and had stopped to lean against a row of barrels which guarded the precipice over the water. The barrels gave away and the unfortunate wan rolled about thirty-five feet, striking face downward, and was suffocated in the water. There were hardly any scratches or bruises on his pereon. Coroner Maul and Chief Detective Haze are making a thorough in- vestigation into the matter. Cronwall kad been employed as a bar- tender at the White Front saloon on Farnam street and was seen about town Wednesday night, at which time he was drinking heavily. ——— Another Contest at South Omana.

Grossecross and Sheppherd, at Arlington Wednesday, were arraigned beforo Commissioned Anderson yesterday on the charge of counterfeiting. John John- son, the section hand who informed the au- thorities that he saw the alleged counter- feiters plant the money, was subpoenaed as a witness, It seems that the accused men have been residents of South Omaha for several years, and both have families there. United States District Attorney Sawyer con- ducted the prosecution. Justice of the Peace Hazen was cailed to the ttand, and identified the confiscated money as that which John Johnson located, after sceing Grossecross bury it. Other wit- nesses slowly, but surely, fastened evidence upon the prisoners. When Commissioner Anderson examined Grossecross, and endeavored to get him to confess, Grossecross admitted that he planted the money in the spot where Johnson found it. He sald that Sheppherd was innocent and had nothing to do with the case, ex- cept using a few dollars -~ which he gave him. Inquiry developed Grossecross' stubborn refusal to admit that he counter- feited the coin, but-he dropped a remark which may be the result of several sensational arrests in South Omaha and Omaha In the near future. At the conclusion of the examination, the defendants were bound over to the May term of the federal court in the sum of $1,000 cach, and being unable to furnish bail, they were remanded to the county jail. The bogus silver dellars confiscated are ex- cellent counterfeits, stamped 1890, and can only be detected by their welght. — WILL GIVE NO MORE WORK. wor for arrested County Commissionors Can Furnish No Further Employment for the Poor. The county commissioners have decided to furnish no more work during the remainder of this winter to the poor of the city. The work on the South Thirteenth street road, which was contemplated in the resolution passed by the board six or seven weeks ago, will b2 completed by the end of the present week. As soon as the weather permits, work will be commenced on two county roads, but as it will be done under contract, the com- missioners will havo nothing to do with em- ploying the necessary labor. The Thirteenth street work was done sim- ply for the purpose of affording a labor test, whereby the men who were not willing to work for the assistance furnished by the county might be weeded out from among the applicants. This object was only partially attained, as a considerable number of men who did not need the work or assistance were employed. All the men who applied for work could not be given it, although as many as possible were supplied. During the past few days the demands for assistance have considerably decreased on account of the more open weather. The commissioners anticipate that from now on the number of applicants will gradually di- minish, because the weather will become milder, and because more work will be ob- tainable.

George Ward Suing sHenry Engloman for Dam 'ges forAnsanit. A neighborhood quarred is belng exploited in Judge Hopewell's coart room, the side that got the worst of ft in a physical en- counter trying to get the best of it in a legal fight. The parties to the sult are George Ward and Hehry BEngleman, the former being the one<who wants to get the coin, In 1893 Engleman rented a house, and find- ing that it was large emough to accommo- date another family besides himselt and his wife, he subrented it to Ward and his wife. Everything was serene for some time, the members of the two families living in peace and happiness and visiting each other’s rooms without frictfon. But, as the defense opines “where two women live so intimately to- gether, over that place peace cannot long hover With outstretched wings,” and a cloud soon appeared to disturb the calm serenity. This cloud was in the shape of a dispute over the rent. Engleman claimed that Ward was not paying his rent with sufficient regu- larity and cheerfulness, and intimated that there was room for improvement. This was the beginning of trouble, it appearing tha the women afterward took up the matter, and ArY | gontla peace disappeared from view. Finally, on July 11 of the same year, Ward paid a visit to the store of Engleman at 1516 Webster street. He stated that he wanted a receipt for all of the rent that he had paid. Engleman took this as a reflection on his integrity, and the two men indulged, for a time, in gentle repartee, until, it is claimed, their blood warming apace, Ward reached out for Engleman's face, with the remark that he would lick him. Engleman alleges that thereupon he proceeded to put Ward out of the store, but that finding this more diffi- cult than he at first expected, he inflicted some punishment on the face and body of Ward., Ward, on the other hand, claims that Engleman started in with the direct intention of engraving a few forget-me-nots on his countenance, and of using his body for a foot ball. At any rate Engleman was suc- ceeding in doing the latter, whatever his in- tentions might have been. After the encounter Engleman swore out a complaint against Ward, and the latter was dragged off to the city bastile. At the trial he was discharged Ward immediately brought suit against Englenman for damages. For the humiliation of his arrest, and for being disgracefully exposed to the public gaze, while in charge of a policeman, he asks $2,000. He claims as another argument in favor of his demand that on account of his arrest he was practi- cally driven out of the city, and has not had the courage to return. As a balm for the injuries he received on his face and body, $1,500 he thinks would be very soothing, the entire amount of damages that he seeks thus being $3,600. Fighting Over Taxes. In answer to the petition of Thomias Mc- Shane and other property owners asking that the city be restrained from collecting the special tax levied to pay the expense of widening various parts of Lake street from Thirtieth street to the Military road, the city claims that the damages awarded will be fully equal to the taxes. It is also al- leged that he property owners were benefited by the change. An amswer of the same nature was filed to the petition of Henry W. Kuhns and others. In this case Twenty-sixth street was cut through north of Caldwell street in order to connect Montena and King streets, which the city held were parts of Twenty-sixth street. ~ The property owners took the stand that they were different streets and applied for a restraining order to prevent the city from collecting the special taxes. Notes of the Courts. Charles Gordon, who was suing Daniel Hallacy for $200 in payment for some labor which he claims he performed for Hallacy in 1893, has received a verdict for $49.49. Conrad Bohn of the Bohn Door and Sash company denfes -that. the company assigned in favor of the Island Door and Sash company for the purpose of hindering and delaying the creditors fromy securing payment of claims, He says that the assignment was made to secure three notes held by banks, James C. McGuckin is another individual who objects to the claim of Ida L. B. For- rest that the stock in the Forrest saloon is exempt from execution. McGuckin claims that he has a judgment of $66.16 against the property for goods that he delivered to For- rest when the latter was running the place.

It is understood that the jury is investigating the charges against the police department to the effect that the members compel the women of the burnt district to pay them a monthly tribute to secure their protection. ———— WILL GO TO THE COURTS, Property Owner Who Holds Taxed to Death, Among all the men who are kicking on taxes this year there Is at least one man who is entitled to sympathy. He has one lot, 60x160 feet, on which he is called to pay special taxes for four different puvemonts, on: of which does not touch any part of his preperty. This pecullar condition of affairs results from the irregular topography of the streets at that point. The property in question is lot 1, in block 4, of Kountze & Ruth’s addition. It Is the north lot on the block, with the 160 feet frontage on Jackson street, and sixty feet each on Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets. From Leavenworth street to St. Mary's averue the two streets last mentioned are but 160 feet apart. The three streets sur- rounding the lot have all been paved, and, according to the provisions of the regular ordinance, the taxes resulting cover the property for a distance of 132 feet back from each street. On account of the prox- imity of the streets there s a considerable portion of the middle of the lot that is taxed for both pavements, as well as for that on Jackson street. Jackson street Is seventy feet wide and the block on the north side tapers nearly to a point at the western extremity. The total distance from the north line of lot 4 to St. Mary's avenue is therefore but @ trifle over 100 fect and the levy of taxes on 132 feet back, extends across Jackeon street and into the property of the unfortunate taxpayer, who is thus liable for four assessments. The case will probably be taken into the courts, as the owner is disposed to dispute the right of the city to thus multiply assessments, that He 1s New LotOne Cent Music.

General order No. 3, by Chief Redell of the fire department, was posted In the varlous engine houses yesterday. The greater part of the order s in regard to routine matters, such as regulations for the care of horses and the sending in of reports to the assistant chiefs by the officers of companies, A further provision is for a set of signals to be used In the department. This con- templates doing away with the useless shout- Ing that is often necessary at a fire and the signals are more effective, in that there is often so much nolse in the vicinity of a fire that it is difficult to understand the verbal orders. Swinging a hat or a lantern from right to left means “Come on slowly.” Lowering and raising the hat or lantern in a perpendicular manner means “Come on with all haste possible,’ and swinging the hat or lantern in a circle directs the company to which the signal is directed to return to quarters. Later on these signals will prob- ably be supplemented by others, by which various orders can be accurately and instan ly transmitted without confusion or misunder- standing. In returning to quarters the horses must not be driven faster than a medium trot unless there is a second alarm, when all possible haste consistent with safety will be made to ascertain the location of the last alarm. An imperative order is made {hat no mem- ber of the department shall appear on duty without the regulation fire hat. These are designated as follows: For chief and assistants: A whito leather hat of the present style with the ‘nsignia of office on the frontispiece. Officers of engine and hose comipunies: A black leather hat of the present syle, a white leather stitched front, with the num- ber of the company in plain black figure the insignia of office over the top and the letters 0. F. D. at the bottom. Pipemen of engine and hose companies Same as for officers of cnzine and hose companies, except that the frontispizce will be of black patent leather, with a white figure. Officers of hook and Same as for officers of engine ¢nd bose companies, except that the number of the company will be of red color, Truckmen of hook and ladder companie: Same as for officers of hook and ladder companies, except that the frontispiece will be of red patent leather, with white figure, For enginecrs, assistant engincers and drivers: A black leather helmet with front- isplece same as pipemen in engine com- panies. The rank of lieutenant having been cstab- lished by the Board of Fire and Pol missioners, all members of the de having served one year in the fir are entitled to present their appl the chief of the department, in handwriting, for examination tion, Whenever a member of the department shall desire a transfer application must be made to the chief, endorsed by the officer commanding his company, and by the as- sistant chief of his battalion. He must state his reasons for request. et Ringing Noises In the ears, sometimes a roaring, buzzing sound, are caused by catarrh, that exceeding- ly diagreeable and very common disease.
