The passage bv the rouncll Tuesday even
ing of llio ordinance granting John T.
Stcwnrt the privilege of building and main
taining an electrical plant for tba purpose of
furnishing light , power anil boat , \\M the
subject of a great deal of Interested dis
cussion yesterday. At first tboro was some
disposition to condemn tbo council for the
has to In passing the oidlnanco , but after Ibo
charter was examined there could bo no
reason found lor continuing the criticism.
Mr. Stewart was compelled to answer n
gtoat many questions during the day concerning -
corning the character and aim of the new
ontorpilso.
" 1 simply asked the privilege of the city
to do something , and that is all there Is to
It , " said he to TUB BKB. "Thoro was no oc
casion lor haste and there was no occasion
for delay. The privilege , ! asked was similar
to many others that have been granted by
the city , many to parties who have never
usort the rIRlits { conferred. The charter
granted mo is as plain and simple as the
English language cnn bo made , and contains
nothing ambiguous or concealed. Copies of
the charter were furnl < hod all members of
the council several days bcforo It
wan called up , and tbo broad , liberal
minded men In It realized all
.hero was In tbo situation. I simply
ivant the privilege of furnishing llht and
power in competition with othors. If I can
Furnish It cheaper thun It Is being furnished
now f will oxpcct to do some business. If I
can't then I'll quit. The only company fur
nishing power to small manufacturers Is the
water company. The location does not al
ways permit them to do so cheaply enough to
justify Its use. I Incorporated the right to
make and sell electrical machines and an
pllanccs for the reason that I bollovo there Is
an opening hero for such a plant. Elec
trical distribution of power M tbo
cheapest and best In the wotla and , in
my opinion , It Is the chief means
that will bo used In the future. There Is
only ono manufacturing plant for tbo pro
ductlon of such machinery in the west , utul
I can sea no reason why such a business
ihould not bo made to pay bore as this ma
chinery comus Into moro general uso. I am
convinced that It will or 1 should not have
asked for that clause of the charter. I have
room for a big plant where my old packing
houbo stood , and it is tint ut all Improbable
that I will use It for this mirposo. That Is
ono of the objects I have in view and the
erection of such a plant may bo one of the
ultimata results. "

Xo News Yet from \V , II. 1'oiler End of a
MlalvitilliiK l.rttor.
Photographs and cards containing doscrlp-
ions of W. H. Foster , the Council Uluflu
and Omaha merchant , wore sent out to all the
nelguDorlng towns yesterday , but no Information
mation was received that would throw any
ight or. the mystery surrounding his disap
pearance.
A letter was published by a morning paper
purporting to bo the tttatotnont of Mrs. Pos
ter , the wlfo of the missing man. the sub-
stuuco of the letter being that Foster
, vas away on business and that she
wished they nould glvo up bunting for
him. Instead of Mrs. Foster's signature ,
however , that of Joseph Butler , the hired
man who slept in tbo ereeuhouse , was ap
pended to it , and that fact tended to discredit
the statement contained in it. An investi
gation was made during the day , as the re
sult of which Butler admitted that the note
had been given him by u man named Alex
ander , who it unknown to the Foster family ,
and that Alexander had heard the statements
from four or live neighbor women who
clulmcd that they had their information
from Mrs. Foster. News coming , o
directly should bo reliable , but Will Foster ,
tbo son of tbo mitsing man , denies that his
mother over jrave utterance to any such sen
timents as these with which she Is credited ,
and oavs that Butler acted entirely without
authority In tbo matter.
It is the opinion of many that Butler wrote
tno letter in order to put a stop to the soarcb
that was going on for fear something would
bo found out that might reflect upon him.
Mrs. Foster Is almost prostrated over the
sad affair , and is now confined to her bed.
She has been in poor health for the past ten
yours , and at ono time her mind was so deranged -
ranged that it was feared she would become
hopelessly insane. Unless her present sus
pense Is brought to an end soon something
equally serious is feared.

SWINDLED THE BANK.
rimoutli Omaha Orook Takes In the IVopla
of Crrlflilou.
Some two or three weeks ago a smooth ap
pearing , well dressed , middle need man , who
gave bit name as Albert Dufour , walked into
the Bank of Crelghton at Crelghtoa , Neb. ,
and entered into negotiations for a loan of
ftXXi on a crop of corn , Tbo bank people
were willing to accommodate Mr , Dufour
and did to. The cash was counted out and
transferred to Dufour's pockets la exchange
for a first mortgage on tbo crop. A day erse
so ago tbo bank discovered that the security
for the loan was worthless , ns
Dufour did not own the corn which ho
had mortgaged. The matter was placed In
the bauds of detective * and a description of
the sharper sent out all over this section of
tbo country.
Yesterday morning the Omaha police re
ceived n notice to bo on the lookout for the
man and Detectlvo Savage started out on a
hunt for him. At 3 o'clock In the afternoon
Dufour was behind the Mrs at the city Jail
nud ono line of the blotter here his mi mo
followed bv the charco of embezzlement.
An ofllcer from Crciahton was In the city
assisting In the hunt and started back at
once with his man.
Dufour Is well known to the Omaha police ,
as he has frequently run snap games In and
around the city for sotno years nast.
LIVE ISSUE CLUB.
Hrlght Minds That .Mrot lit I.lnlngcr'fi
Adopt it New Name.
There was n largo amount of enthusiasm
distributed about tbo Llnlngor gallery last
evening , the occasion calling out the interest
being tbo annual election of ofllccrs of The
Club.
But previous to the over.t of the evening t >
dctormlnrd effort was mrulo to change the
name of Tbo Club to something moro dollulto
than the ono which has passed current for
thren years. Ono faction contended that the
organization had already taken a place in the
literary llfo of the city , una In keeping with
that prominence should have a dignlllcii pat
ronymic. Another faction , equally a * en
thusiastic , contended for the old name be
cause the name had grown to bo a household
\word with these who woio members and the
friends of the organization. And o the battle
was waged , but alter repeated ef
forts , through Chairman Snydcr , who
gave the deciding vote , the name was
changed to the Live Issue club , and as such
hereafter the association of men which meets
at the Llnlngor gallery fortnightly will bo
known.
The election of oftlcers resulted as follows :
President , William F. Baxter ; first vlco
president , J. B. Shcchan ; second vice presi
dent. E. C. Snydcr ; third vlco president , C.
S. Elgutter : secretary-treasurer , John Wll

The duke and duchess of Richmond
nro living in a line hotel on the rue do
la Blunchissoro , which stood on its own

don extending to the city ramparts.
Their graces moved in all the society of
Brussels , and ontortaincd a great deal.
The duchess , who had issued 220 invita
tions for her bull , proposed to recall
them when she hoard that Napoleon'B
array WOB advancing. But the duke of
Wellington , to prevent alarm , requested
that the bull might take place. Never
theless , niudy English families were
frightened away from Brussels , and
post horses were kept harnessed in the
duke of Richmond's stable , in case had
news from the scene of the conflict
should mulco it advisable for his chil
dren to ho sent to Antwerp.
The majority of the people of Brus
sels were violent Bonnpartists and were
prepared toontortain Napoleon in gro.it
style should ho force the British army
to retreat and enter their city in
triumph.
So it was that the duke of Wellington
and many of his ofllcors went to the ball
after the business of the day had been
attended to.
While the merry couples were flying
around , a dispatch from the front was
handed to Wellington. Ho asked the
duke of Richmond for n private loom
whore he might consult with some of
his generals who were present. The
duchess' dressing-room was the only
convenient room which was safe from
intrusion. Candles were hastily lit on
the dressing table , at which Wellington
sat with a map hoforo him , and having
explained certain points to his staff
they all rejoined the company , They
loft the house before 10 o'clock , and
succeeded in doing so without attracting
any attention.
Very few , if any , of the dancers
guessed how near at hand was the crisis
which was to decide the fate of Europe ,
ana it never entered into the heads of
the young girls that some of their
partners were dancing the "dance of
death. "
About midnight the general officers
were quietly warned and disappeared
from the room.
