for not registering recorded in theallidavits. Some of them arc extremelyridiculous. For instance , iiOl personsapplied for election allidavits , alleg ¬

ing that they did register because theythought they were always registered.Some other noteworthy excuses are"Neglect" 181 , "Supposed ? he was regis ¬

"Yon.

I visit with peculiar pleasure.Yes , I played hero years ago , when yourpresent Academy wad the city's prideand its leading theater. It was a miser-able

affair at best to be sure , but Omahawas a good town and the professioncould noc pass it. T recall one incident

Apparently they had neversoon a staircase before and suspectedsome treachery in the stops , for they alldropped on their hands and knees anddescended backward in that grotesquefashion , ft was a trying situation for anactor in the throes ot "to bo or not tobo" but I managed "to control myself.Mr. Barrett cited the recent metropoli-tan

¬

departure of the BUB as an evidenceof Omaha's phenomenalgrowthland com-plimented

petite for strong drink , lie has more thanonce been put under arrest for drunkenness ,the last time on record being only last month.A court-martini ordered by the departmentcommander to meet at Fort Omaha leads tothe impression at he war department thatJJev. Mr. Lewis Is to be tried by court-mar¬

tial. No other oftlccr has been placed undernrrest at Omaha recently , and the fact thatthe court is composed of the full complementot ollleers , thirteen , shows that an officer Isto be tried , and IM a strong indication that hiscommission is endangered. As the eoitit Isordered by the department commander , therewill be no record of its proceedings forwardedto the war department , exwpt the accused Issentenced to dismissal. Sir. Lewis Is wellknown in Washington , having been the rec ¬

tor of St. John's church from IMV to 1871) ).lie was appointed chaplain In the army byPresident Aithur, December 12,

TRUNK MYSTEHY.The baggage crowd at the B. & . M.

depot had a most exciting experienceyesterday morning. Among the baggagewhich came in from the west was atrunk for transfer to life St. Paul & Oma-ia

-

road. As the truckman tumbled it to-

he ground , it sprung a half join-ugs

-

and ono of the men was set to repairt. Ho throw the trunk bottom upwardind stooped to his task. Ho hadn't time0 select a nail before he was knockedliswy with n horrible odor emanating *

'rom the baggage-."Phew

.

, " ho gasped , starting to his'eet , "great Jchosaphat , wonder what'sn that trunk ? "The crowd drew around'and taking a-

olectivc: ! whin1 , indulged in unanimousThow , " nnd drew oil' .

"Think o it , fellows , " at Instvcnturedono , "if there should bo a corpse in-

here ! "This touched the key-note of horror ,

nil ejaculated "Jeeminy ! " "We'd bettoropen it , " suggested another , and ono ofthe men took up the idea and pro-duced

¬

a bunch of miscellaneous hoys-ind a hatch'ct. The crowd gatheredibont the trunk , every nose covered with1 handkerchief and every brain filledvith visions of the I'ittsbnrg trunk and

the MaxwelM'rollor murder. The kcy.sill failed and with bated breath thevol-ititeer

-operator started to pry off tlio

map with his hatchet. Craok , the rivetswere torn out. Cautiously the lid wasifted and the mystery of the

scent was about to bo revealedAll hands prepared for exclamations of-

lorror , when suddenly the Interior of the.runk anil its contents wore disclosed.Not a word was said , and adjournment

was at once tuktm. The trunk was tilledwith prairlo chickens , rabbits , ducks ,

mil various species of game , in the car-;asses of which the warm weather andlue-bottlo lly had performed their

work.

U BY 3IIARPRRS.John Motta , an Italian fruit peddler at

Thirteenth and Farnam streets , was theietim of an old confidence trick yestor-

" GREEN'S OATTIdS D AL.George B , Green , recently of the live-

stock¬

commission linn of Green & Burke ,

South Omaha , has some queer perform-ances

¬

to account for. lie may have athoroughly satisfactory excuse for hisbehavior , but for the sake of his imperil-ed

¬

reputation ,and to rectify agreat injus-tice

¬

done his former business partner , hoshould turn up nnd explain.

Some few days ago Mr. Green wentwest and purchased of a California stockcompany 110 car loads of cattle. Homade the mii-clmsc upon his personalaccount ana engaged himself to pay aridiculously high ijrico. The cattle were ,

however , snipped in the name of Green& I'.urkc and reached hero last TuesdayaflcniQon. Passing through the handsof the sanitary officers the greater partofthe shipment was condemned as diseased.-

Tlio.

next morning Green left the cityannouciug that he was going to Chi-cago

¬

and since that time he has not beenheard from. His whereabouts are en-tirely unknown and all letters nnd tele-grams sent after him , failed to producereplies. The whole burden of his rashtransaction was thrown upon his partner ,

Mr , Kurko , who with a most highly com-mendable SPUSO of honor assumed thetask and made settlement. .Everythinghas been satisfactorily arranged and theloss entailed upon Mr. Burke is for-tunately

¬

but light.The lirin will be known henceforth as-

M. . Burke & Sons.-

.JEALOUS WIFE.-Mrs.

.

. Jellenic , n German woman liv-

ing¬

In South Omaha , was arraigned inpolice court yesterday on :i charge ofdisorderly conduct and fighting preferredby her neighbors. It seems she has ahusband of whom she is terribly jealous ,

and she is all the lime imagining that he-

is paying suit to other women. If Mr. J.-

so.

much as glances at another female , infact , his spouse is at once seined with theidea that ho is making love to thatfemale. This thing has been kept upfor a long time , until Mrs. J. hasbecome positively insane in the matterof entertaining a morbid suspicion of-

her'liusband's constancy. She is con-stantly

¬

applying approurioits epithets tothose of her neighbors whom she sus-pects

¬

of being in love with her spouse.Altogether , the neighborhood is contin-ually

¬

kept m hot water."Tho woman is insane , "said the judge ,

"and 1 can do nothing with her. Slieought to be taken before a board of in-sanity.

¬

. " He released her with a repri-mand

¬

, and she and her female accuserssailed flightily out of the room. Mrs. J.was taken before a board of insanityseveral months ago , but was releascu.Her husband is anxious that she be con-fined

¬

iu an asylum.

After giving Mr. Callaway's letter of-they'd in full , the following answer is-

nuuh"Dies-vr.it , Col. , Sept. 20 , 18S3. To Gene-

ral¬

Manager Union Paeillo KailroadDear Sir : In answer to your criticism onour letter of the liith of September , wnwould frankly acknowledge ) the truth ofthe assertion you make when you say woexpressed onr gratification atthoabsenco-of any cause for complaint , and at thegeneral harmony prevailing between themalingers and othi-r omployosof t ho com ¬

pany. Wo would affirm hero thatwo think it a source of the highestgratification to any man who has thegood of his fellow workmen and 'em-ployers

¬

at heart , and we arc notashamed-of the public knowing that we gave ex-pression

¬

to the same before you.When you gave this to the public and

bjf ho doing tried to mislead them on thequestion at issue , we think you made a-

mistake. . Had you made known to themthe fact that up to the time of the out-break

¬

between the white men and theChinese at Hock Springs yon had neveradmitted that the miners were employes-of the company , then the case would bedifferent and your action consistent.And we think that your memory must bedefective if you have forgotten the timewhen D. O. Clark ordered the dischargeof so ninny men at Carbon because theyjoined the organization. We think thatyou must remember that you told us inanswer to our correspondence with yo'u-at that time , that coal mines and minersdid not como under your jurisdiction ,

and that they were a separate and dis-tinct

¬

body of employes , which did notcome under the control of the managersof the railroad. Witness your letter to-

us of November 12 , 1831 :

OMAHA , Nov. 13 , 18S4. J. N. Corbln , 78-1Larimer street , Denver , Colo. , DUAU Sin : Ihave your letter of November IHh signed assecretary of executive committee , In relationto men who were discharged Iroin the Carbonmine. I will look into the matter , but have ,

however, some doubt as.tp my aatlidtyiJoJn-an V way interfere with the operations-oA, thedifferent coid companies. Tlio contracts forKClthiK out tlio coal arc taken by outside par-ties

¬

who employ the men and pay them. As1 now underhtanrt It , we have nothing , what-ever

¬

, to do with the conditions of their em-ployment.

¬

. Very Truly ,[Signed. ] S. It. CAIIAWAY.

Believing in your veracity and yourhonor as a gonttaiuun , we never again in-

terfered¬

with coal miners' grievances ,until we saw you championing the causeof the Chinese against the white man.Whether you were aware of the state"ofthings at llock Springs prior to 'the out-break

¬

there we do not know , but there isone thing wo do know , and that is thatboth Beckwith , Qtiinn & Co. and D. 0.(Mark were apprised of the grievancesthat existed , , and instead of tlieir tryingto redress the same they added to them.Permit us to state Unit wo abhor the ac-tion

¬

taken by these outraged miners asmuch us any ono. And had we not beenmislead by your correspondence withus in connection with theminers wo would have laidthicr grievances before you , which wobelieve has been Kept from you. As tothe cause that led to tlie introduction olthe Chinese labor on the Union Pacificsystem , wo have no desire to discuss it.There is ono fact we do wish to otiile , andthat is this , that the company can get allthe labor they require from ofthis country. Whatever the excuse thecompany h'ad for the introduction of theclement into civilization , there is no ex-cuse

¬

for the retention of the same. Wewould further Mate that the course youhave taken in this casq is not likely tobegot in your employes that icel-ing

-which wo have so earnestly tried to

inspire them with , in regard to yoursense of justice. Wo have been willingat all times to meet you or any of you.-subordinates , and talk over any griev-ances that had arisen between us and thecompany , and why you should thrcatei-us with such things as soldiers we nro ; r-

a loss to know. W arc hnv-abidinrcitizens , and we mean to remain so nut1our rights and liboriien uro joopardiwrThen , the first law of nature will guldens

Further , wo think you have abused theconfidence we reposed in you. His rome.-thing very unusual for an employer oflabor to give to thn public press the pri-vate

¬

correspondence of his employes.-Wo

.

would further state that we did notmalro any demand in our letter. Wo sentf *

in a request , believing , as Aye do , that itwas as much to the benefit of the com-pany ns to their employes. Kospootfulty ,Kxeeutivu Committee U. P. Kmploycg !
