Leve jour sddre9 , ei KEEIf KANUOKS , A Brace of Bloods From the Queen's Dominion Operate Upon the Confidence of Our Citizens , and Make a Hasty Exit. It was in the mild September when two young men hailing from Canada their first appearance in Omaha , giv ing the rispectivo names of T. D. Lindsey and Nathaniel A. Merritt. During the ensuing winter months hese two keeners lived in luxury and style upon money borrowed on the strength of well told stories of their Canadian possessions. Some two months ago Lindsey decamped with about two hundred dollars thus ob tained from a party whose confidence ho had gained by the manipulations of his oily tongue. Our article , how ever , deals more particularly with the adventures of Merritt , a mere lad in years but old in tricks that are vain. During the eeven months of his so journ in this place Merritt never ful lowed any legitimate employment , but id ways managed to live on the cieam of the land. Like others of his clats he had his mistress , who no doubt shared with him her ill-gotten wealth. Ho represented owning large tracts of land in the dominion of Canada and claimed to bo highly connected in Chatham. He succeeded in borrow' ing several sums cf money by repre senting himself as being connected with the firm of Ghddish & Co. , druggists , doing business on the cor ner of Dodjjo and Twelfth ttreet. The firm , however , disclaim having ever had any dealings with the fellow. Merritt is among the tlings that are missing. On Thursdayho crossed the stormy Missouri in a ror boat in order to avoid a possible ecene with friends who might be at the depot to bid him a tearful farewell. He wss always of a retiring nature. Aleut the same time his paramour tool her departure by rail , and the twain no doubt made connection in our aisle ? state , and left for parts unknown. , Merritt is described as being such a "nico" young fellov that people would go and borrow .money to lend him or weep if they coild not accom modate. Those who kiew him to the tune of dollars and certs , and partic ularly a well known Intel proprietor whom Merritt forgot to settle with for several months' board , will mourn his loss , and will express tieir feelings by having hit picture andjiis virtues pub lished In an early aumber of the ' Police News. " THE CENSUS. How It is Progressing Pay o Enumerators. ABuK reporter called on Supervise Tzschuck to ascertain what facts h could learn that wculd bo of iiitere * to its readers.

Griffey 'Concerning His Recent. Domestic Troubles. To the Editor of TUB BJLE. In a recent issue of The Omaha Herald there appeared what purported to be. the statement of my wife in re gard to recent troubbs that have arisen between us , and as the "statement" is so altogether one-sided both in The Herald and Republican of the same date I deem it but justice to myself as well an to my friends in Omaha and elsewhere that I be allowed a hearing n my own behalf , with the hope , therefore , that this may be given room in your columns. I here make the following truthful record of the whole wretched affair , that has been so wide ly circulated : I was married to Mra. Griffey in Council Bluffs about five years ago , and up to within a few weeks prior to our recent separation our donlestic life was peculiarly peaceful and happy. We settled in Council Bluffs and made and dwe't in a happy home , one singing aud teaching music , while I had a position in the U. P. R. R. offices. We rendcd in Council Blutfe for three years , when wp re moved to Omaha , Here her ability as a vocalist soon became known and for the past two years her career has been very successful in this regard. All this time I retained my position with the U. P. and until one month ago cure was the happiest of homee , and right hera I may say that the statement in The Republican to the effect that since resigning my place'with the rail road , I have taken to drink , is as false as hdl , are an also nearly all the other reports in tbat paper with regard to myself. For ten years I have avoided intoxicating driokr , and unt'l within afewdayssince had not touched them for that length of time. But to come directly to the cause of this whole sad affair : some time ago there came to Omaha a Mr. DeLe , a musician from the south , and he was some weeks since joined by his wife , also quite an artist. This very worthy couple at once made their headquar ters at my home , where the longest two-thirds of their time was passed , much to the satisfaction of myself and wife , however. Things went on thus for some time , and had they continued so all would have been well. But about two months ago there came to Omaha a "slick-tongued" fellow named Jacobi and a good musician withal. This fel low , being on old-time friend of the DeLes , became acquainted with my wife , and in a few days I was only a third-class boarder in my own home. Go homo when I might , there in the front room was a party of four : consisting of Mr. and Mrs. De Lo , my wife , aud Jacobi , all playing cardi in the jolliest kind of a way. Hac this been only an occasional affair al would have been lovely , but it wouk continue from 9 o'clock in the morn ing until 1 and 2 o'clock at night foi weeks at a time. And right here , " will slate , is where my despondent streaks came in that my wife speaks of in The Republican's account of the affair. I would sot for hours at a time trying to come to some conclusion what to do , and I will leave it to an ; man of sense if such work isn't ven liable to grow monotonous. This was not all. Mr. and Mrs DeLe Lo made a couple , my wife and Jacob made a couple , and of course , when i was proposed to have ice cream , the husband ( myself ) was left to take care of the children. For several weeks this sort of thinj continued , until at last I remonstrate ! with my wife. Kindly at first , am sternly when it became evident tha stern work was necessary. She prom ised a reform in the card-playing bus incss and promised to keep more ou of the company of the man Jacobi , whofo wifa and family reside in ai eastern state. So far , all was satis factory , but after a trial I found that the promise of reform was made only to be broken. She left our home at 9 o'clock a. in. and went'to Mr. DeLo'i room where Jacobi always stoppet remaining there all day. Had to eenc the girl after her to come to dinner. After dinner she went back a ain ant remained there until supper. Thurs day she did precisely the srmo thing Friday she did the same with a sligh variation. When she came home Fri day to dinner she remained al home after dinner long enough to make Mr. Jacobi a necktie on the sewing ma chine that I presented , to her for a Christmas present. Saturday morning' , juit as she was starting for DeLo's , I called her in the bed room and told her as coolly as ] conld talk , what she must expect if ] caught or heard of her being at De Lo's any more or in company with Ja cobi. She flew In a passion and toll mo in very plain English that she liked their company and would go anc have them como to our house when ever she pleased , and defied me and told mo 1 could not help myself. As any other man would do und > r like circumstances I resolved to end the matter. On the evening of the "church scene , " as reported in The Herald anjl also in The Republican , ] returned homo from down town at an early hour ) and as a matter of fad will state that I was somewhat under the affluence of liquor at the time , was growing desperate , and may the curse of God light on the small soul ol him who -p-ill deny _ that it was my right to bo excited and angry. Upon entering my own house I found the front room occupied by Mr. DeLe and wife and upon inquiry learned that my wife had gone to rehearsal in the ccm- pany of Jacobi. She had attended rehearsals alone often and of ten before and the thought that she should so soon forget every promise , made me feel strangely like cutting the throat of some man and Jacobi in particu lar. I went to the church and Jacobi went in under ono of the pew seats , hence the ' 'scene" referred to. That I waj slightly jealous I will allow and leave it to any man of pride and spirit to say whether or no I bad cause to be. And this is all thpro utoit.I felt that my rights were being interfered with by a characterless scamp , and when my wife failed to see matters in that light , we stopped. . -Respectfully , D. W. GRIFFEY. "Widow Bodott. Neil Burgets in Nasby's "Widow Bcdott" drew a good house at the Academy Friday evening.

NEW.TELEPHuHES. The Improvements "Which the . Telephone Exchange Co. are Making. The first of the new telephone In- itrnmenta , which are as quickly as possible to be substituted for the old ones throughout the city , was put up in Seachrest's ticket office Friday. The new instruments are of the very latest pattern , and are a vast improve ment on the oues formerly in use. They do away with the nects alty of a battery for each circuit at the central office , the battery for each instrument being incorporated in the instrument itself , the elco'ricity be ing generated by the action of the signal bell. All that is required to signal the central office , is to press a button and turn a crank. This causes a drop to fall at the central office , and the de sired connection is immediately mde' The new instruments admit of each subscriber being placed on a separate circuit at a slight extra cost , thus obviating the necessity for seperato signals for each station. When a signal is made , the subscriber will know that he is the only ono on the circuit , consequently the one signalled. The instrument are made by the Bell Telephone company , and are elegant in appearance as well as con venienco. To make this change , the company will be forced to double their force. Twelve new switch boards will be put in at the central office , and sixty foot poles substituted for those 'now in use. The same changes irill bo made in Council Bluffs. Notwithstanding the expense at tendant upon those changes the rates will remain the same , except to those who desire a private circuit. Manager Franco says that the Omaha telephone exchange will , when these changes are made , be the most complete and the best exchange in the country. Married.
