POLICE COURT , Murray Discharged Nugont's Case A. Few Comments on the Buckingham. In I ho police court y osterday morning the case of W. E. Murny , charged with com- miltinga ] disturbance was called. Murray presented the plea of first oflanso no auc- ceesfully that ho was discharged. The caao of John Nugent , of the Buck ingham , who ii charged with assaulting Minnie Woodford , one of his actresses , has baon set for hearing Saturday next. The policy of this voiicty theatre is so clearly out'inod ' in the capo tint brief h mention of the m alter will bo nude. The girl referred was brought t } this P olaco by the proprietors of the low dlvo with the understanding that she was to bo paid regularly a fair salary. She came hero , too , believing tint the theatre with which ahe was to connect herself was to y havotho scniManca of decency , at least , Bitterly disappointed oho wai. No money was paid her , except at irregular inter vals and in paltry sum ? , and ahe was compelled to work oftentimes lei until 1 o'clock in the morn leimi ing , in the most degrading rola of a a wine room decoy. When she approached at Mr. N. , demanding , rather brasquo'y , tt must ba admitted , her salary for Ilia re four weeks of her work she was mot by lo that worthy with open Insult. Then he followed In truly chlvalrlc style , fay knocking her down , a difficult matter , of course , for an individual of Mr. Nngent's th physical developonunt 1 He proceeded to follow up tbo outrage by furl her blows , fir but was prevented by interference from a doing any harm. lit Aside from a more question of bruta pa lity involved , the principle of a man Viho paWi would do such a thing , and the policy of trP the institution which he repre P sents , are simply disgusting , whether fo considered iu themselves or in the or results ensiling. It is amattor of notoriety la that the Buckingham has brought num lil bers of young women to this town , low under false representations , and refusing w to pay their salaries , has turned tnem 1C adrift. To leave town is coupled with 1CPi the only alternatives of starvation or a tlat life of degradation. The most debasing atm influence cf this rotten concern is found m In tbo fact that to the career of the scarlet ci lot woman a number of girls formerly ar with the Buckingham have been driven by sheer destitution. Three variety women at least , have been cut looeo by ho proprietors of the Buckingham , nd thrown upon the town , because they onld not earn money enough in the om- iloyment which had been so speciously remised them. The dead-beat policy is fast being played out. " Against this institution hich never piya its bills ; which owes 'or weeks' services of a band vrhlch has nally given up in despair the attempt cf ly wage collection ; which is aned for the eryrcntof the ground on which the irick hulk of ci'rraption Is standing ; .vhich . is run in direct defiance of every is rlnciplo of decency and morality ; a Hoed [ do of public opiulon is setting in , which 'oreteils the extirpation of this most un savory hole , the Buckingham theater. PULLING'THROUGH , ) elaycd Trains on tlic lUsourl I'u- clllc IlORuliiIng Sclicdnfo Tune. Yeiterday morning the Missouri Pacific rain , duo hero yesterday at 0:30 : , arrived n this lity on about schedule time. From a gentleman on the train it was learned that the strike on tha Missouri Pacific and Wnbash roads Is in a fair way of being compromised. Monday afternoon , the striking shopmen received a telegram from ono of tbo head commit tees to allow the passenger trains to go through , and BS a conteqaenco all first- class trains are now moving on regular tlmo , and without any delay. Yesterday nioinlng'a train came in with a very light luadofpaseengers , and was allowed to leave Atch'son ' at about 10:45 : Monday night. The train , which arrived three hours late Man * day evening , started from the Atchlion depot at one o'clock in the afternoon , but was taken inb&nd for purposes of delay by the striken , who did notallotr it to leave the yard , until about five o'clock. The striker * regard with no ( null veneration the mall cm and allow them to pass un molested , especially as postal detectives have been assigned to the work of guardIng - Ing them , Tbo freight trains are not running at all , all business in this direction being at a stand still , The officials say , however , that it is bollovctd tint A solution of the difficulties will bo reached by the end of this week , Smoke Seal of North 0 ruliu To bacco , ADVANTAGES NEGLEOTED , Facts Interesting to Younjj Men in Omalin Gleaned by a llco JUeporter. "Mr. Secretary , the OmabaBEE dotires ia every way postiblo to servo the public good , and with that \iew Iho reporter calls on you to learn the ptaolical work ings of the Young Mon' Christian Asso ciation. Aa its representative In this clly , will you favor him ttith thorn ? " "With pleasure , " replied Mr. G. A. Joplin , laying osldo his pen nnd offerlns ; a chair to the reporter in tlio cozy oflico room of the association ; "nnd wo thank the BEG for the opportunity. The asso ciation wai orgoni/.od and incorporated In 1807 under the nimo of the Young Men's Christian Association , Its object Is four fold , viz : The spiritual , social , mental and physical welfare cf young men ; to dovclopo and build up every faculty and element of true manhood. For a long time it was able to look after only the spiritual and social welfare of young men , but now Its field of usefulness Is extended , and wo have Bible claisas for the Ins motion of yonth and prayer meetings for their moral and spiritual pood. On thcsa meetings only fount ; men attend , as experience shows , hat mores good is derived from those ox- orches when the ladies arc not present to : .iuso , as they do cause , more or less cm- ; arraastnont. Wo have goapol meetings where the Bible Is discussed a oil oxC plained , and sacred lonqs ara aung. All thpao exercises are held in onr rooms in this building. Our object is to benefit young men rather tnr.n to engage in rcg. uhr evangelic * ! work. In social Improve ment wo find that thn presence of ladies ii most beneficial , and with this knowl edge wo pay attention to social gatherings whore polite and refined ibflncnces are brought to bear. Some of us make it a point to visit and attend upon the eick , espec.'ally npon sick strangers in our city , and the physicians have a standing request to let our ( society know of such persons under their care. Wo keep a register of good boarding houses for the benefit of strangers in search of such places , which 13hi always ready for tholr inspection. Wo have , top , an employment bureau , and porEocs < in search of employment can find ittt nearly always by consultation with us Wo make inquiry as to the character of the : applicant , and if liii record is good wo hunt up a situation and recommend hiT to the bnalnesi men of the town. This , has worked well in numerous casss hero , and there are to-day happily situ ated men in Orcaha who secured tholr positions < in this way. For the social en ( tertainment of young men , as I have said , wo have at different times pleasant meet ings , where innocent games and light re freshments are Indulged in , as , for ex ample , our Now Yoir'a reception , when young men are afforded opportunities to is make pleasant and desirable female ac quaintances that otherwise they would never make , unless by the merest acci P dent. For tha intellectual ben efit of young men wo have lectures and debating socio'y mcBtlnga , and wo have just inaugurated plan 1 similar to the United States aen- atc , where each young man engaged in the ditcustion shall be regarded as the 8CLI representative of a particular state , and look after its interests as onr senators in pnngriss are presumed to do. " fr ' A violent presumption , " suggested or the reporter. 2Em "That may bo , but in our practice wo m find it works most charmingly by creating sc generons ; intellectual emulation and en scm listing the interests and feelings of the m participants. For physical development ap wo have a gymnasium not extensive , 'tis true , but very complete , as yon see , and provided with the latest apparatus and found to bo very popular. About sev en'y-fivo gentlemen exercise hero regu larly , with the happiest results. Our is library contains about ono thousand se lect volumes , and the reading-room , to he which ! all are free to come , ait down and read from 9 a. m. to 8 p. m. , is sup plied with about one hundred publica ne tions < the best dailies and maga 151 zines , witli select religious reading- matter of all denominations. Among bean car ; newspapers you see we have German an and Swedish publications. Our circulat- iog library in this oflico is particularly , not exclusively , for the use of members ; tu that la to say , a member can take away ho for reading any book hera , but ono not a pa member cannot carry a book out. Each evening a reception committee Is in the fo reading room to welcome visitors , and In fopo troduce them. Strangers also find her * poOi writing materials for their accommoda tion , which are frae for thorn to use. Our society also has numbers of letter ) for strangers sent to Us carewhlch great conveniences these who do not know postoflice hours. Of all these the secra- tary keeps a Hat. As a sort of branch society there is a Indies Auxiliary , which of great assistance in giving those fin ishing touches , so to apeak , to onr recep tion rooms and occasional gatherings , which men cannot oven imi tate successfully. The govern- mont of our society consists of tc president , secretary and the ueual ofQ-fii era , all of J whom must ba members of tie society who profess Ohristitnity , and bis leads mo to sty that onr members ontist of active , viz. profeesediy Christ- an , and non-professors of religion. The alter being any young men of good > moral character. Each class has equal Ighls and benefits , orcept only in the matter of bosoming society officers. The practical , work of the association is done > y a board of directors , eco of whom is elected from eash of the evangelical hnrches in town , and all churches are opresented. There Is no test of sect or : reed , our solo purpose being the im- irovement , in its broadest sec so , of the rating men of tbo land. We have now about 200 members , but now ones are constantly joining and old ones going elsarrbero to live. The ex pense of the association la met by a mem bership fee of one dolhr each year , paid by each person of the society , and an ad ditional dollar by those who use the gvmna'inm , and as this wonld bo com ; paratively a snull mm to sustain such a work , onr business men , as you can see by this lltt , contribute liberally , bellev- ing that they are more than compensated by the good effects of our association upon their young employes and friends. In 1884 onr total rec lpta were 2.418.85 , and disbursements $2,394 , 88. We rent these rooms on the corner of Fifteenth and Farnim streets , known as the Barker block , and wo have fire nicely furnished ro < ins , for ollic * , reading rcom , Ircturo lull and phy ical exerclees. In behtlf cf tbo society I tbunk the. BKB for this man ifestation of public spirit and interest in what \ e believe to b a good work , and will bo glad to welcome It and its attasbes at all times Good d y. " The reportar gives this convention became it is calculated to be u-eful to [ many : young men , who , by taking ad vantage of the good influences hero sot before them , may savn many heartburn ings nnd perhaps honrj cf unhapplnoss and pain. Newspaper men see the lights and thadows of life find being themselves weak , are glad to point to their follows every nvonuo leading to their welfare and good.

It will bo remembered that about that tlmo a plan to rob the U. P. headquarters was brought to light , and the finding of the stranger's body in the secluded spot at . that time qavo liso to iho theory that the would-bo robbcra , suspecting that ho who was supposed to ba ono cf their ang ) had ' 'peached" on h's ' companions , liad murdered hm. ! There was tome talk of a coroner's investigation when thr bo was found , but for some naton no was hold and the occurrence soon faded from men's momoiios. On last Monday evening a man named Loavltt called on Coroner Drexel , of this lty , and told him his name was Loavitt ; hat : ho lived formerly in Missouri Val- lej ; that ho had a brother who hid been n this section about a year ago , und ibont that time ho had received a letter 'rom this brother , advising him to alter > hif mode of life , settle down and marry. .

In looking over n col- octlon of old Irish war songs and ballads lescriptivo of the sanguinary conflicts be- ween . the Irish chieftains and the Anglo.

" or instance , when the Irish Kernes mder William MacGorghegun , Lcrd Kenil Foacha , in the county of rYcetmeath , overthrow the English at the lattlo of Ardnochor , A.
