limb struck the water pipes In s'tirli a man

A little girl , whoso name wns not ascer

evening by being thrown to the pavement
from u Main street motor cur. She suys that
she asked the conductor , whoso nnmo is
Young , to let her off , but ho refused and she
had to jump. Whatever the circumstances ,
fiuch an accident seems altogether unneces-
enry , as the use of gates is ordered by the
company to protect passengers leaves only ono
opening on the platform , and the conductor
ought to be able to sco that children do not
get oft while the car Is In motion.

AVIio Are Vagrants.
The case against Ed. Maher , \V. II. Robb
and "Doc" Mlddlcton , ex-gambling house
attaches , who uro charged under the city
ordinance with vagrancy , was tried before
Judge McGco yesterday afternoon. City At
torney Stewart appeared for the prosecution ,
and ox-City Attorney G. A. Holmes lookttl
after the defendants' Interests. Several
members of the polieo tcslllled as to the gen
eral reputation of the defendants , whoso con
viction was soughtunderthe ordinance which
declares all persons vagrants "who have
the reputation and character of gamblers. "
The attorney for the defense held that the
city had no right to pass any such ordinance ,
mid could not punish a vagrant its the statutes
of the state provided for their punishment at
Imprisonment at hard labor for six months ,
and the case was therefore outside the juris
diction of a justice or police court , and that
such magistrates could only require them to
give a bond to keep the peace and for their
appearance in the district court. The ques
tion w.is argued to some length on both sides ,
several cases being cited in support of both
positions.
The judge discharged Mlddlcton and Itobb ,
and withheld u decision In the case of Maher ,
stating that n now point had been raised and
ho wished to investigate it fully before ruling
ou it. Mahcr was released on bail.

City OIlloliil.s Disagree.
Three parties Were arrested yesterday for
leaving their teams on the street without
hitching. They were John Sivinger , G. F.
Boardmiin and William Kapp. The arrested
parties were quite indignant over their arrest ,
particularly the first two , whoso business is
such that they nro compelled to leave their
teams every few minutes , and they feel that
it is an injustice to compel them to hitch their
horses each time , especially as the horses are
trained and could not bo induced to inn away ,
even if a dynamite cartridge was exploded
under them. Bourdman is a gasoline dealer ,
and Sivinger drives a vegetable wagon for J.
11. MePhcrson.
Sivinger's arrest wns the cause of n little
disagreement between the chief of police nnd
Marshal Templcton. It seems that the chief
has tin Idea that every ono who is arrested
should bo placed behind the bars , and un
fortunately lor perfect harmony in the two
departments the city marshal thinks differ
ently. The marshal holds that when an ac
quaintance or any reputable citizen is arrested
on n minor charge , and can make
satisfactory arrangclnents for his appear-
unco for trial , ho ought to bo released Instead
of being thrown into the noisome hole where
the drunks and vugs nro confined. This opin
ion ho has frequently expressed , and on sev
eral occasions ho has given practical illustra
tions of his views In the matter. This has
not suited the chief , and he has remonstrated ,
but the result has not been satisfactory.
Yesterday morning , when Sivinger was
arrested , Mr. McPherson telephoned that ho
could not then appear , but would bo respon
sible for the appearance of his man , whom ho
wanted released to deliver his vegetables.
This was satisfactory to the marshal , who told
the man ho could go. The chief was present
nnd ho proceeded to give vent to a roar
against such proceedings. Ho vowed that If
ho couldn't put n stop to it In any other way
ho would get out an Injunction. The marshal
informed hiiuthut , all prisoners brought to
the polieo station were then in the custody
of the marshal , and he was alone responsible
for their safe keeping. The chief de
clared that the marshal was no
more rcsponslblo than ho was.
The marshal couldn't see it that way and
stated that ho pioposed to have the handling
of the prisoners as long us ho was under u
? T > . ( HX ) bond to do so.
The case of the horse thtof arrested vestor-
day morning was then taken up. When the
prisoner was brought in bv the police ho was
immediately taken up stairs and locked up
without being turned overtotho city marshal.
When the marshal found out what was going
on ho sent up his deputy , who brought the
man down stuirs and locked him up. Ho in
formed the chief that he did not consider the
upstairs room bceuro , nnd wanted all pris
oners where ho know they would bo safe.
Then the chief Indulged in another roar , und
said he put the prisoner up stairs because ho
wanted to put a detective In with him and
llnd out what ho know. The marshal was
willing to lot the man out if thu chief would
put a man to wiitch him , but the luttor was
huffy nnd wouldn't do anything of the kind ,
so thorn the matter ended until higher au
thority could pass on the caso.
The reporter saw Judge McGco.with refer
ence to the matter , and the judge coincided
with the marshal's views. Said ho : "Tho
marshal is the onlcor of the court , mid the
law provides that ho shall have ehargo of the
jail and the prisoners. The chief of police
has nothing to do with the prisoners after
they uro limited ut the station. As far as
Marshal Temploton Is concerned. I am per
fectly satisfied with his work. Ho is very
discreet , and 1 am willing to rely on his Judg
ment us to when to release petty offenders on
bond or upon tholr own recognizance. "
As the mutter now stands the chiefs in
junction will shortly be in order , but It Is ex
ceedingly doubtful whether It will bo forthcoming -
coming , now that the superior court Judge
has passed upon the case hi advance.

J. Q. A. AVAUD'S GIIKKLKY.
The Piaster Model llefttly for the Cast
ing in lironzc ,
Mr. J. Q. A. Ward , the sculptor , 1ms
just completed the stnluo model of
Horace Grccloy , which is to bo east in
bronze this summer nml placed nt the
entrance of the Tribune counting-room ,
says the New York Sun. Several gcn-
tleinen who held very intimate relations
with Mr. Grecley have seen the statue in
Mr. Ward's studio and have expressed
the highest satisfaction. "Mr. Greoloy's
face was a verv dilllcult ono to deal
with , " said Mr. Ward yesterday , "but I
was greatly helped by having iniulo a
mask of it boon after ho died. By this
means I was enabled to reproduce the
peculiar structure of his head that pho
tographs would never have shown. The
great dilllculty was in giving the fea
tures the expression of childlike sim
plicity , together with the strength of a
philosopher , which was peculiar to him.
After that expression had been caught
in the clay the remainder of my task was
comparatively easy.
"Tho statue , " continued Mr. Ward ,
"will be in a sitting position , and from
the top of the head to the ground the
distance will bo about fifteen feet. You
see , the head will bo much nearer to the
eyes of the spectator than is the case in
most statutes. I so designed it because
it bocmed desirable that the expression
of the face should bo appreciated by the
people who stop to look. The whole
statue is low , as the pedestal is 01 feet
high. If the statue were standing the
figure would bo 11 feet tall. In the
sitting posture it is S feet high.
"It may bo objected , " continued the
sculptor , ' 'that the statue will get soiled
by newsboys climbing upon the iron
fence that is to burrouiul it , but I don't
care about that , anil I do not thing the
committee or the subscribers care so
long as the bttituo is not disfigured. Mr.
Grceloy is represented sitting upon an
upholstered lounge chair , which has one
arm higher than the other. The left
arm of the statue rests on the higher
arm of the lounge , the hand dropping
gracefully toward the front. Mr. Greo
loy's habitual attitude when at his desk
was with his head bent clown to his desk
or his newspaper. When a visitor
claimed his attention ho scarcely moved
his body , but turned his head slightly lethe
the visitor in a listening attitude. This
attitude I have tried to reproduce ,
without givintr too much of a
stoop to the back and shoulders. In
the right hand is a newspaper that ho
has dropped upon his knee on the en
trance of the visitor. The attire is in
the fashion of the time of the war. A
cravat loosely and somewhat negligently
tied protrudes from under his neck whis
kers and falls upon his broadly plaited
shirt bosom. The vest is cut low , and
the whole suit is rough cloth. As to the
treatment of the drapery I have been as
unconventional and as unacndomio as
possible. Acrobs the vest is shown a
broad watch ribbon. Simplicity is the
chief expression of the statue ; if I mnybo
the judge. "
The pedestal will bo of granite , six and
a half feet in height and live foot square.
There will bo no carving or ornament on
the pedestal , only this in raised letters
will appear :

Ono and perhaps the chief reason of
ho difl'oroneo in the shape of an English
ind an American waist on women of bim-
lar physique is in the shape of the cor
set worn , says the Now York Sun. The
American woman wears a corset which
ixtcnds high in under the arms , cover-
ng , and especially in ilcshy women ,
crowding the bust up higher than is nat-
iral. Over this she usually wears a tight
itting waist of muslin or cambric , and
he result is a gradual bat smooth and
continuous slope toward the bottom of
.ho waist , which is like a cone inverted.
L'ho English woman wears a bit of a cor-
ot not much longer from the waist up
han the pointed girdles which wore
tylish a few years ago and very much
hortor than our riding corbel. The re
sult is that their bodices with short darts
; lvo a very low ellcct to the bust , a
ounded fulness of outline , and a sudden
ightoning in at the waist , which ono
often mistakes as being produced by
ight lacing. No tightly lltted wa > t is
vorn beneath the drdss , and the general
) lloct possesses all the charm of a corset-
ess figure , with comparatively none of
Is disadvantages , and the beauty of their
> xquisltoly lltted tailor dresses results
argoly from the fact that they are
nolded by skillful tailors on to a live
vommi's figure and not over a stllT , un-
loldlng armor of bones and steel.

SchVyiTo Falls.
LIXCOI.V , N'eb. , May 22. [ Spsclal to Tnr
BEU. ] At the afternoon session of the stnto
board of transportation only ono person re
sponded to the Invitation to formally preset !
a complnlnt concerning freight rates to the
board. That ono was Mr. J. W. Illco of Jor
dan , and ho tcstllled that ho had two boxes
shipped the same distance and both weighing
exactly the same. One box contained hard
ware and was shipped from Omaha to Ord
The other contained seeds shipped from
Council Bluffs to Erlckson. The freight on
the first was D3 cents and that on the second
SYccnts. In reply to a question from Audltoi
Bcnton.hostated thatthcro had been a reduc
tion in rates during the past two years as the
box that cost him 25 cents this year cost -10
cents for shipment lost year and the year before -
fore 07 cents.
Mr. I. M. Hnymond , the wholcralo grocer ,
nroso and said the trouble was not with the
rates , but discrimination. If a farmer at
O'Neill must pay -11 cents for a carload of
beans to Lincoln , while an Illinois farmei
ships the same amount for20 cents , ho thought
there must bo some suspicion of discrimina
tion.
tion.Mr.
Mr. Iloidrcgo was on hand and nroso to
correct what ho most emphatically declared
was a niisstatement by Attorney General
Lecse , that the stocks and bonds of the Bur
lington amounted to $37-CO ! per mile.
John Utt of the Lincoln freight bureau was
called on and stated that the Lincoln shippers
and jobbers were satisfied with the rates.
Ho said ho represented Lincoln interests
only. Ho saiii the rates for manufactured
goods were high enough to keel ) out the pro
ducts of other places and to protect Lincoln.
Ho testified that estimates tuiido for the con
struction and completion of the Lincoln &
DCS Moincs road showed that it could bo laid
for 515,000 per mile , without the bridge over
the Missouri.
It. II. Oakley , president of the board of
tr.ule , said that ho wanted 10 per cent on all
his Investments and was willing that , the B.
& M. should make the same amount. Ho ac
knowledged , In reply tn a question from At
torney General Leese , that ho know nothing
about railroad values.
M. L. Elsmore , of Hastings , who claimed to
represent the board of trade of that place ,
was questioned by General Hnwlcy of the
Elkhorn road as to the satisfaction expressed
with the present railroad rates by a meeting
of business men in Hastings. Mr. Elsmero
declared that they were satisfied.
It is said to have been recently revealed
that most of the persons attending that meet
ing at Hastings were sent there bv the rail
roads and rode with blue tickets in lieu of
passes to avoltl any suspicion of being cap-
pel's.
During the session Dietrich , the railroad ,
capper who attempted to distinguish himself
by giving Attorney General Lceso the lie ,
testified that George Gould bought the Mis
souri Pacific from the construction company
for 5,12,000 , per mile. Attorney General Lccso
says it is a well known fact that it cost the
construction company only t7)00 per mile ,

The convention of members of the grange
and other labor organi/ations called by O. JC.
Hall and ex-Governor Butler , called , as al
leged , for their own personal benefit , failed
to pan out as they had hoped for and both ap
pear to have a contemptuous regard for the
action taken by the delegates in refusing to
bo whipped or cajoled into joining the inde
pendent movement , The business portion of
the convention was' ' held with closed doors ,
but people living in the vicinity report that
there must have been n lively time
If the noise made was any cri
terion. Hints hayo been obtained to the
effect that the efforts of Butler and Hall to
sway the convention failed. The opposition
was headed by Mr. Cantlin of Dodge county
and L. C. Hoot of Indlanola , both of whom
nro staunch republicans. The discussion was
very heated.
It was finally decided to let each man vote
for whom ho pleases.
Kesoliitions were passed denouncing cor
porate greed nnd the various trusts. The
convention aped the anti-monopoly conven
tion of the night before by endorsing the
