The examination of Covell drags along be fore Judge McGec , who cannot give his whole time to it , there being other court business which demands attention. Further testi mony was taken yesterday A Uellinger was on the stand most of the time. Ills account of the electric light scheme was quite interesting , lie made an arrangement with Covell by which ho was to help Covell organ- l/o a company , and was to receive for sucti services one-tenth of the stock. After se curing tlio necessary number of subscribers here it was decided to ship the plant to Lemurs and there try to soil the company to some local organisation for $ . " > ,000 , tbo Council HlufTs pit-out company to retain $ i,000 of the stock in the LeMurs company , and the LeMars capi talists to pay to the Council U luffs company $ .1,000 cash. Mr. Bellinger went with Covell to LoMars , and the scheme was worked for all it was worth One LeMurs man was promised * "iOl of the Council HlufTs portion of the stock for helping boom the organization of the loc.il company. A number of loading business men declared themselves smitten , and if on investigation thu light proml all right they xvotild invest. The plant was started up. but it did not work very satisfac tory , and Mr. Bellinger became satisfied that the light was not what Covell had repre sented , the LoMars folks were not Induced to invest , the plant tuis packed up , and there it remains unto tills day , Mr. Bellinger's nmration of how the ex hibit was worked was amusing , The fact seems to bo that the light Is so arranged that it will work for a short tlmo all right , hut is no stayer. Those who wanted to see the light would bo ushered into the * building , the current would bo turned on , the lights ex hibited , and then turned off to give them a rest ns soon us the visitors lelt the room. Some stayed u little too long , and the lights begun to weaken. An explanation was asked for , and Mr. Bellinger Informed the investi gating capitalists that there was a dead cell which caused the trouble. He overheard one of them remark soon after that he thought the thing was a "fake" and that there would ho lots of other "dead sells" before long. Mr. Uellinger bothered with the plant , showing It off to tlio best pos sible ad vantage , until ho became convinced by the utter extinction of the llijnts that the thing was not what it should bo. An expert electrician was put on the stand late yesterday afternoon to testify In regard to the battery with which Covoll run his lights , showlnp that it was Impossible for the ligfits to run any such number of hours as Covell had represented.

Mellon of Fremont arrived in the city yesterday morning after tlio live burglars arrested Prld.iy evening. Ho had an Interview with the fellows through the grated doorway of the city jail. Ho recog nized them us the men wanted at tlio Iirst glance. The recognition was mutual , and the fellows behind the bars lost no time In acquainting the Ncbiiiska ofllcer of their de termination not to leave the state until they were obliged to. Two of them were recognized ns the O'Donnell brothers , notorious crooks , who have given the oillcers plenty of trouble in their time. The burglary was committed nt the cloth- IIIK store of S. Sickel In Fremont , and the gentleman himself arrived yesterday morn ing. All thu stuff found in the possession of the thieves was Idontiiled by him as a part of his stock. Many of the articles still had his cost and selling marks attached. The value of the goods stolen , necordlntr to Mr. Slekel's statement , will roach about $100. The amount recovered will not approximate more than $100. The burglars were professionals and know not only how to got into the store but what to take whoa they got there , nnd they carried away the most valuable goods In the stock. The gane came direct to Council Blurts after roinnilttitiK the robbery. Dur ing the greater part of Friday they remained on Pierce street and acquainted some of the denizens of the row uith the fact that they liad burglarized n store and had planted a good portion of the goods in Omaha , in cluding 12S silk inunicrs. All efforts to indiico the prisoners to ac company the sheriff without tlio formality of u requisition failed. They were taken to'tho county jail during the uftornoon nnd given cells in the big cylinder.

The informations alluded to In THE BEE yesterday morning wore filed In Justice Pntton's court during the forenoon. O. John Webber nnd P.M.Willis are charged with having procured fraudulent conveyances of realty. In n separate Information George Colthard , the Missouri Valley laud owner , Is charged with the sumo offense. Separate charges are also made against cich Indi vidual of conspiracy. All the informations wore signed by Samuel Hna of this city. The warrants Usucil upon them were placed in the hands of a constable and served on the two men , Willis and Webber , now In Jail here. Willis has been confined In the county jail since ho was brought to the city , but Webber has been kept nt the central police station. During the afternoon ho was taken to the county jail and turned over to the sheriff. This warrant for the arrest of George Col- thard was taken to Missouri Valley nnd ho will bo arrested by Harrison county ofllcor nnd returned to this city for preliminary hearing. It hns been demonstrated to the cntlro sat isfaction of the oillcers nnd others that the conspiracy was n deep nnd well laid one , nnd If It had not been discovered those engaged in It would have realized thousands of dollars lars from It , nnd ulnccd clouds upon the titles to half the lands In the county.

Tlioro Is n mule In Council Bluffs that is wearing distin guished honors as n humorist and thief catcher , which he achieved by promptlj tnK- Ing advantage of a rare opportunity Friday afternoon. Ho was hitched with n long halter strap to n , telegraph polo In the alloy In the rear of the business houses on Broadway between North Second and Madi son streets. Ofllccrs Beswlck and Kclley bad arrested tlireo men wanted in Fremont , Nob. , for burglary , nnd had stnitcd to the station with them. Kelley had gone ahead with his man and Iloswlek had two of the tounhs to look lifter. They wore not anxious to ho looked up , for the penitentiary was sure to receive them. When near the end of tlio alloy und close to the city Jnil6noof them broke away from his captor and started back up the alloy ut a rapid rate. Tlio Cbcapo and flight had been observed by Marshal Templeton from the doorway of the jail. John has long and strong limbs , nnd years of practice while running to tires has taught him how to use them , and ho gave chase. Thu llceing thief was a block ahead of him nnd theto was none in sight in the alley to hear the cry of " .stop thief" but thief himself and the mule. The mule heard it and roall/ed that it was his opportunity. When tlio thief was n block away . and approaching the mule changed his position slightly and stood partially facing the fugitive. Ono long car was resting on. his shoulders and the other was pointing innocently to the earth , while his arched hack und feet drawn closely to- get her completed tbo pictute of patient resignation. The fugitive may have thought the mule asleep. The altitude was one of inanimation , and no ono would have imagined that anything short of n live electric light wire would hnvo startled the mule into activity.s the fugitive approached , the mule diopncd his nose u few inches nearer the earth and arched his back a trifle higher. A ? the Hying man dashed past that mule un derwent u nnnmkublo transformation His ears went up and his heels shot out nnd stopped squarely on the seat of the punts worn by thothle" . The time and range of the shot wcio calculated with tnithomntical nleety , and the thief was stopped short.

[ Special to Tun BEII.J Postmaster General Wannmnker said ho other day , in discussing the probability f final action at this session of congress upon ho postal telegraph nnd postal savings bunk Ills , that tlio democrats were exercising nero politics lu their attitude towards these iroiTosltlons than the republicans. The post- nastcr general added , that of all the meas ures that have coino before this congress hose two proposed more direct benefits to ho people as a mass than any others. Herctofoio propositions looking toward the 'overniiient control of the telegraph have ontempluted the purchase of existing lines r the construction of new one * by the fed- ral government. The scheme Invented by Mr. Wnnnmaker contemplates no outlay vhatevcr by the federal government or the woplo. Ho ha ? invented an elaborate iliiii for a postal telegraph which the people an sccuro tbrough the medium of the gov- rnincnt and competitive bidding , the prices o bo nude by the people and to bo much under those now In existence. There has for everal months been pending In each branch f congress a bill drawn by the postmaster general "to establish a limited post ami tele- T.iph service , " which may bo described very omprchcnslvely in a foxy words. Tlio postmaster general proposes that all lostofllces where the free delivery service low exists and the onicos of the telegraph 'Oinponies ' with which the contracts would 10 made , shall bo postal telegraph stations , in audition the postmaster general vould bo empowered to dcblgnat'j fron tlmo o tune other pojtofllccs as telegraph olllces. lo is to bo luithoii/cd , after Inviting pio- losals by published advertisement , to eon- raft with one or more telegraph companies low in existence or that may bo incorpor- ited. for a period of ten years for tlio trans- nlssion of postal telegrams on conditions nnd it rates of tolls set fotth in the bill. Hntes nay bo minced by the conscntof both pir- les to contracts at any time during the con- inuanco of the contracts. Postal telegrams nro to bo sent in the order of tiling , except government telegrams , which take prcco- lonco. It is proposed that the charges for ho collection , transmission and delivery of lastnl telegrams other than postal money jrder and special delivery telegrams shall be is follows. Vor U\ only words between stations within a state or territory , or between stations MIX ) niles apart or less , lo cents ; for twenty words letween stations In the states of Wisconsin , Illnols , Connecticut , Tennessee and Missis sippi , anil t'je.states ' calt of the n , 'Jj cents ; 'or twenty words between stations in the states of Minnesota , ' Iowa , Missouri and Louisiana , and points li-ostof them , 2S cents ; 'or twenty wonts between stations in states 'arming , generally sueaklngones up nnd lown on both sides of the Mississippi , 25 cents ; for twenty words between any two ' stationi. not above provided for , fit ) cent's ; for ill woids in excess of the first twenty , 1 cent > er word ; pre-paymont'of ' replies to bo made it thu ofllco from which the original telegram stransmittcd. There are to bo separate accounts kept in he olllces for tno postal telegraph service. The stations or postofilccs not hnvintr a pos tal telegraph sei vice and telegraph lines can itilizothcVpostnl telegraph by simply mailing ho postal telegrams to the nenicat oflico hav- ng a postal telegraph service , The post- : naster will at that plaqo open the messnccs , and , finding the pnnicr stamps enclosed , file the messages for transmission by telegraph. At the receiving point the operator simply encloses the message in nn envelope and de- .osit It at the postofllce or any stieet box and .hii mail carriers nro utilized for thodo- iyerv of messages. It is held hy Mr. Wtuminuher that one-third of the cost of handling telegraph matter Is In carrying .ho messages to ami fioin the ofllco. All of this expense will bo saved to the government and tlio patrons by the utlli/ation of the reg ular mall carriers. In any case the payment of 10 cents extra would provide for an Immediate special de livery , in the same manner tis a letter Is now delivered when a special delivery stamp is alllxed In aduition to the regular postage. No mutter how remote postofllces may bo from postal telegraph stations , they could always have the advantage of the tclcgiaph service forward and ba-kward ; for postal telegrams could ulways be sent by mail to the nearest telegraph station for transmission thence by wire to their destination , or they could bo re ceived by mail from the telegraph stations similaily. The postmaster general elabo rates his plan ns follows : "It will be observed that postal telegrams would be collected and delivered by means ot the postofllco service and transmitted liy wire from point of origin to destination through ttio medium of the contracting tel egraph company. This company would stand in exactly the same loliitioti to tlio postoflloo department that a railway or ste unship company of a stauo line or local oxpioss company holds , which has a contract for transporting mail matter from ono city or town to another , or between branch postofilccs in large cities. In many gases n postal telogiam would be collected , transmitted nnd delivered with inoio delay than now ocems in the business of existing telegraph companies ; and in * most cuscs the time consumed in the collection and delivery , especially in respect to postal tele grams passing between distant cities or towns , would not effect the value of the com munication. Indeed , it Is believed a vast amount of correspondence now committed to the malls would seek the more speedy postal telegraph channel , In each case the postolllco department would earn its pos tage , while the people would bo beter served. The telegraph company would ho able to do tlio business at the greatly reduced rates , because it could bo relieved not only of all the accounting , but of two other important items of expense to it , namely , the collection and tlio delivery of telegrams which woulij ho removed troin them entirelyand that , too , without any appreciable additional expense to the department. Mr. Wanamaker says on this point : "In cases where tbo amount of business to bo done would not justify the telegraph com pany in tlio iTuiintalnanco of a sopainte tele graph staff , the postmaster , if not mi opoiatoi himself , would employ nn operator , nls extra compensation from the telegraph service en abling him to procure" " suth help. In man > cases the postmaster's assistant or one of his clerks would be selected with a view to his ability to tclcgraphi iThe result would bu that in such' Ceases the telograpl work could bo done by the post master or his assistant , and their c m- pciisation theieby bo Increased ; and whore the regular postonlco duties nro so heavy us to preclude such Jqlnt labors without thoii undue interference with each other , the tele graph company woulil employ an operator to glvo nil of his time Id the telegraph. There would bo no overcharge by tlulfty operators The chart'os for postal telegrams could bu easily understood. , XUoro are but three sop nrate tariffs noiufd , 15 , 25 and W cunts far thu Ilrst twenty words. One cent per won is charged in all cases for additional words "If un insufliclent value of stamp ? should bo affixed , the deficit would becollected from addresses provided at least 15 cents should be prepaid. If stamps of value less than the minimum amount (15 ( cents ) were aDIxed , the communication could bo forwarded by mall The bill would protect both the postolllce do partniunt nnd the public , and would provide , for u class of correspondence that , gencrallj speaking , would not bo put upon the wires a thu high ritftss now prevailing. "I can not bo made to believe that this union or tlio telegraph nud tlio postal ser vice , whereby each would so distinctly lessen the burden of work of the other , will not an iguj to the Ingenuity , the enterprise , nnd thi goflU sense of the American people the moment they understand it. " 1 am sure that it Is easily susceptible o proof that this convenient , safe , und ciuicl service would bo very generally used. We us a postal card for brief communications am ruu the inappreciable risk of bav in It 1U contents become know o persons other than the addressees ; by paying twice the prlco of a | K > stal card wo can convey a whole ounce of written mutter under seal ; and , by paying ten cenU more , vo can secure un linmedlntu delivery In the ho CMC of toh'L'ruph , It JH true , Micro is nl- ready n deferred horvlcc nt night , for which ibout two-tlilnli or throo-fimrtln of the full ralo Is charged , donoiidlngtipon thu number of words transmitted , und delivery being undo on tlio next succeeding business tunni ng ; nnd It lias been nrgucd with some show of reason Unit tlio small number of night nessages compared with those ; sent nt day rates Is evidence that the public demands u quick rather thnn achcnptcloHrnphloscrvlce , nnd that nny ciTort largely to Increase the oluino of telegraphic business bv means of mich cheaper rates for n deferred service vould only result In loss , for thu reason that ho expense of performing that service would ncrcase lu substantially the samn ratio with lie volume of limitless.1 Tlio poitmaster general contends that there could bo no possible Injustice done to private corporations bv the operation of his propo sitions , as the Western Union telegraph iom- Kiny would undoubtedly bo one of the sharpest bidders , If not the most successful in bidding for the iiostnl telegraph service. Ho acknowledges that there would bo a prob ability of n new and powerful company coinluc nto competition nnd springing Into existence ly virtue of the government patronage , us a iroposed new company would bu a-legtunmto ) ldder if it weroshown that the lueorporutors veroiesponsi bio parties. Ho contends further tint no Impersonal or unscllisu objection can w raised to this plan , inasmuch as lu every nstiinco the people would get as good service ns they have at present , nt ntcs averaging f > 0 per cent less than s nov.f paid. Besides thostiitcMiicnt that one- .bird the cxpcnso of telegraphing comes from lie employment of a service similar to that vhicli would bu had by the employment of .ho fico-dellvcry service , the nnnouiiccmcnt s made l > y the postmastcrgencral that there s a profit of something like 10 cents for each nossaco now handled bv the telegraph com- unlcs , and that If dividends wore paid upon the actual outlay lu the way of Hues and ofllccs , they would aggregate nearly 100 per cent a year. The postmaster general is also greatly in mrnrat in advocating his postal savings janU scheme , which ho now has before con- ; ress , Ho lias shown that postal savings Milks could in no wise be competitors of > rivnto institutions , but on tlio contrary ivould educate tlio people to patronize banks and save their monoy. Ho says that wlicro saUngs nro most needed thov nro lover found In rural communities. Ho says 'urthur that tlio people would ho impressed with the stability of postal savings banks more th un private ones , hv the fact that the government would have charge of thu money mil It would ho ns safe in the government's lands as in the control of its owners , since : ho federal government issues the money. Pho postmaster general emphasises the fact : hat the reason tlio democrats in both houses of congress oppose tlio pot.il telegraph and lostnl savings bank bills Is because they want to pass them at the next congress nnd get the credit that will accrue in the campaign of 1M ) : > . He says the lepubllcan party could iiivo no oettur rard in congress than these two bills. It xbould bo remembered , how ever , that a republican administration has ) riglimtcd these measures and if it has brought them Into notice nnd popularity it should have the credit for their adoption , even if tlio latter takes place under the demo cratic couttol of one branch of congress.
