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.

Yeiterday morning the Missouri Pacific
rain , duo hero yesterday at 0:30 : , arrived

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

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

"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. "

' A violent presumption , " suggested or
the reporter.

"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

[ 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

SUSPECTED FOUL PLAY ,
The Dontli of LoAVItt Nearly rt Ycnr
ARO , Kxplnlnctl nt
The readers of the city dai'iea ' will
recall the circumstances of the finding of
the corpse of a stranger mined Leavitt
about April , 188-4 , in a low log cabin
near the stock yards , The circumstances
attending it , nnd other occurrences of
that date , gave rise to a seemingly well
founded suspicion of foul play. 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. .
Dhp Itttsr concluded by siying that the
vriter did not cxprct to see his Mhsouri .
VB alloy brother again in this world , but .
toped to meet him in hrnvon * lha dead of >
n wai addicted to drink , his b.o'her

xplaina ] the mystery. Filled withwhlsky , leg
10 wandered off to that lonely place , aft
roc
wak , sick and staiving , and there , in fro
hut that barely abolterad him , ho
lied. This clears away the doubts and tie
itispiclons which , haa the poor fellow rcc
icon known or had ho been potsetsed cf topri
ncans , wonld not have been allowed to

auao and circumstances of his melan- lie

cor :
mu
Editor Now York Sun : Not long ago set
on printed a letter assorting that the thii
ihraso , "painting the town red , " Is of lice
omparatively recent and clcatlantio ori BlOl ly
gin. I bellovo it is the paraphrase of an dui
xpresslon . that frequently occur * in old atja
rish ta'ladry. 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.
Gorman invaders of Ireland , I have fro-
uently found phrases closely akin to
hat of "painting Iho town red. "
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. D. 1328 , slaying
,500 of the latter ; the bnrdlc chronicler
.oils us that tbo midnight skies were red-
lenod : with ' tot rent a cf flame from tlio
lighlands east and wojt" In honor of the
. The towns and hamlets , too ,
vboreln the kindred of the victors dwelt , At
lazcd , or were "painted red , " with boa-
Ires , and the inhabitants thereof naturally
ave loose reins lo their mirthful propon-
ilties. The fires upon tbo highlands wcro
ho primitive mode of telegraphing to dis
tant kinsfolk and sympath'zers ' the glad
tidings and the exuberant exultation that
followed.
In describing the effects of thobattlo of
Oulart Hill , which was the first between Ni
Irish insurgents and the English army In
the great AVoxford rebellion of 1708 in orN
Ireland , and in which the pa'riots came N
victorious , the local balladist HIJB :
The hills and aides were painted red
That night with beacon fires ,
For Wexiord's sons had well avenged
Their Saxon-slaughtered elrea ,
I could site a score of other quotations
showing that an expression almost exact
like that ot "painting the town red"
was a favoiito one with the old Irish
bards when depicting tbe oic'.t'ng ' scones
that followed a military triumph on the
part of their countrymen.
Is It , then , unreasonable to Infer that
the pbraso "painting the town red , " or
indulging in tbo wild antics of unlicensed
hilarity , had its origin in tbo way I allude
