Sad Story of a Young Mar
ried Woman from the
East.
An Unsuccessful Search for
Her Husband.
The train from.tho east Sunday
morning brought to Omaha a lady
whose misfortune has excited the sym
pathy of all who have heard her story
or Been her melancholy countenance
and Leart-broken appearance and
actions.
The lady's name is Mrs.McUlennau ,
and she comes from Des Moines , Ia. ,
in search of her husband , who for an
unknown cause , she says , deserted lur
on Thursday last , and for whom
i now searching. She is intelligent
and refined In appeEr.ince , is scarcely
yet 21 years of age and has been mar
ried only a year and nine months. She
told her story to Officer McClure who >
with her , made a thorough but unsuc
cessful search through the city yester
day for her recreant lord. In the af
ternoon she was taken to a hotel and
the officer called again a few hours
later , in [ time to learn that
sbo had just been carried
to her room , having fainted from fast
ing , sleeplessness , sorrow aud fatigue ,
A pbyician was summoned , and hav
ing restored her to consciousness and
persuaded her lo oat something , gave
her a Bleeping potion , and this morn ,
i ij Eho was feeling much better.
Officer McClure thinkn her husband
haa not yet reached Omaha , and will
accompany Mrs. McClcniian to Coun
cil BIutTa to search for him thero.
It seems that the husband end
wife were raised together from child iJ
hood , and that their married life had
bien without a cloud heretofore.
They were about moving from Des
Monies to a plico fifty miles away , to
which the wife preceded her hubband
with the goods , and whcro ho wcs to
join her on Thursday , which ho failed
to do. It is possible that ho has not
Icit her , but that there is some other
reason for his inciplicatfo conduct.
The wife is nearly crazed from grief
and worry. She says shedoea not in
tend to ask htm to return and live
withhor , but only wants to know why
ho has loft her , as she can imagine no
reason whatever for displeasure on his
part.

BROATCE'S HEW BUILDING.
A Substantial Improvement on
Harney Street.
A BEE reportcryesterday visited the
new store of Mr. W. J. Broatch,1209-
11 Ilarncy si root and found that gen
tleman and a corps of employes bus
ily engaged In arranging the heavy
stock in the new quarturs. The build-
ins ; , which is a grand EUCCCSS in over }
particular , ia 125 feet deep , with a
front of 33 feet , 3 stories high witl.17
inch walla to the second story , and
heavy enough all the way up to sup
port a fourth slory if at any time it
should bo deemed advisable to tvJki
one. Between the two cirders , which
rest on a number of 14 inch square
white oak posts set in a solid masi of
concrete , is a three-eighths plate rf
iron 15 iiichea wide running the entire
length ot iho building and weighing
nearly two tons. On the first floor
\\hicli has a 17 feet ceiling , and If
capable of supporting 1,000 tons , are
the heavier goods , the oflico and a new
pair of scales with a weighing cap
acity of 3,500 pounds. The other
two floors are to be used for storirg ,
the lighter goods of the establish
ment and are being filled to their ut
most capacity. The roof is of iron
and lias the advantages of
all the latest improvements.
From basement to garret Is
running a lleed'a Center Horse eleva
tor which is so arranged as to be run
by hydraulic pressure as soon as the
water works are completed. It is the
best building on the Missouri river
for the business and it would well be
worth the whiio of any one , especially
pirties who contemplate building , to
go through it aud examine the
thoroughness with which it is con
structed.

Omaha Board of Trade held their

The-City Water-Works Com
pany Proposes to Make
it Lively ,
And to Begin Immediately.
The third adjourned reguhr meet
ing of the city council was held last
evening , and in the absence of the
president waa called to order by the
clerk , Mr. J. F. McCartney.
Mr. Stephcnson was on motion call
ed to preside.
Membnrs present Messrs. Dailcy ,
Dodge , Jone * , Kcnnard , Roddis ,
Stephenson andThleman.
The consideration of the water
works question being in order a com
munication was from N. Shelton ,
treasurer of the Oraahn water worls
company to the effect that owing to
the short time that had elapsed since
the last meeting he had been unableI
to get all the deeds recorded in proper
shape ; thathe hada paper signed byMr.
Locke and all his bondsmen agrceiog
io the change , and that it should not
release them from their liabilities ;
that he also had the plat of the Reser
voir Addition ready , but owing to a
clerical error In ono of the deeds it
bad to bo sent back to Philadelphia.
In the course of the next ten days ho
proposed to have all the deeds put on
record and the plat of the Reservoir
Addion deeded and recorded. If the
council would informally agree to pass
the ordinance as soon as the deeds are
recorded and the addition laid out ac
cording to law , the Water-Works
company would at once commence
vork on the new reservoir aito and by .
the time the council mot again would
have done sufficient work and would
have so much material on hand that
the council and tha people of Omaha
will bo convinced that the Water Corn-
pang are going on with their work in
good faith and has the means and the
ability to push the work to a speedy
completion.
Mr. Dodge moved that the paper bo
placed on file.
Mr. B > yd , who had ccme in In the
meantime , objected to the clause , say
ing if the council "will agree to pass
the ordinance as soon as we have
placed the proper papers on file" and
thought that the paper should bo
plaeed on file. He didn't think the
council was ready to bind itself in that
manner yet.
The motion to place the paper on
file was carried.
Mr. Stephenson introduced the fol
lowing :
licsolwd , That the Omaha WaterWorks -
Works company be permitted to pro
ceed with the erection and consume-
tion of their reservoir on the new site ,
provided that they shall perform nil
the requirements of this council in re
gard to the laying out and surveying
of said new site and ground used by
them adjacent thereto , to make said
addition conform to law.
Mr. Boyd ilT--rcd an amendment
providing that the words be added ,
'and comply with the requirements
of this council in each and every other
particular. "
The resolution ast amended was
adouto-1 by a vote of nine for aud none
against.
Mr. Kcnnard rose to a question of
privilege , . - > k n for an iiidelinito leave
of ( ibssnco as he was cnmpel'oi ' to re
turn to Chiton Springs , N. Y. , and
should otbtJi'wJso bo compelled to re

generally an Important reason for It.
For several days past it has been
known that Phil Sheridan was expec

he was coming on some business con

not supposed by any that he would been

OMAHA. AND ST. LOUIS ,
Mayor Chase at Work to
Secure a Closer Alliance
Between Them.
The Object of His .Recent Visit
to the Paris of America.
Among those who composed the
Omaha delegation to the recent carni
val at St. Louis , was Col. C. S. Chase ,
our indefatigable mayor , who seems
to have combined business with pleas
ure , the business forming the bulk of
the combination. It willba somewhat
of a surprise to many to read the re
sult as embodied in the following from
The Post-Dispatch of Friday last !
Mr. Champion S. Chase , Mayor of
Omaha for the last six years , Is in the
city in the interest of the trade of Ne
braska. Ho desires , as do the busi
ness msn of Omaha , to have more
intimate business connections between
St. Louis and Omaha. The Nebraska
trade has hitherto gone chiefly to Chicago
cage for the lack of an air line to St.
Louis , but since the completion of the
Omaha extension of the St. Louie ,
Kansas City and Northern railway
there is no reason why t&is
trade should not flow t * >
St. Louis ; indeed it rightly belongs
to St. Louis. It is now only a fifteen
or seventeen hours' ride from St.
Louis to Omaha via the Wabash , St.
Louis and Omaha line just opened.
M yor Chase has come to the city for
the direct purpose of working up iho
merchants to tbo possibilities cf the
Nebraska trade. In order to do this
moat effectually a call was madn by
President Smith , of the Merchants'
Exchange , for a meeting of all inter
ested , In the reading room , at 1 p. m.
to-day , to give Mayor Chase an op
portunity to present hia views. Mem
bers of the Lxchnhge were generally
invited , but r.a many were anxioufl to
goio the fair tbo meeting was princi
pally attended by the offieeis
of the Exchange and the
respective committee. Mr. Chase
in an informal way talked of Omaha ,
and gave statistics of her trade.
Omaha he aid had now 33,000
pepulalion. Nebraska now is but
thirteen years old as a state , and lud
increased her population at the rate of
100,000 per year for the lact three
years and now had a population of
500,000 , aud is erery way prosperous.
In intelligence her people are not sur
passed by any elate in the union.
Nebraska is thn third grain st-ite in
the union , and til's ' grain can ali bs
brought to St L uis by a proper effort
on the part of her citizens. Bospokeof
a barge line from Omaha to St. Louis
and other possible projects. Ho
thought Jay Gould was interested in
St. Louis and the water route via the
Mississippi. Ho , said that twelve
years ago ho came to St. LJUS ! as a
member of a Committee selected by
the board of trade of Omaha , on pre
cisely the samp errand that he was
now engaged in. Ho addressed the
Merchants' Eschango thenand finally
that committee by virtue of the special
jolitoness of the Union Pacific rail
road lock a party of seventy-five mer
chants up to Omaha and through Ne
braska four hundred miles , and eight
hundred miles to the Rocky Moun
tains.
tains.M
M yor Thomas waa chairman of
the delation , and they were all
picked man men who truly repre
sented the wealth , trade and business
interests generally ot our splendid
city. They wore elated with the pros
po ' _ of iho propoand railroad via
Chilicothe , as it would give them an
air line from Omaha to St. Louis , and
CpSi ! n direst route with the Union
Pacific and the vast grain trade of
of Nebraska , and the mineral trade of
Ihu Kockiua. TJioy satr the possibili
ties of the state and returned htime
much please ; ! . His effort then waa to
settfra the Imildi-g cf an air line to
St. TjouiF > w that Jino was built ,
vul no wantfd to wukrt Up the mer-
crania to como up to Omaha and gr.isp
ho inioienao Hade thero. Ho said
Nebraska was only second to Tcx.is in
cattle grazing ; that his state raised fm-
inenau ( Jnantitiea of corn and fattened 1
hugs enough to supply the St. Louis
trade with hams and lar'd. He closed
by saying tllat ho appreciated Hio fact
that it was a great laver to bo invited 1J
to speak even for a few moments to [
men who represented officially and
personalty the wealth and trade
and com merco generally of Such' city
St. Louis and that he would no
longer detain men who could see at aa
crease of trade with Nebraska would
bring them men who counted min
utes as dollors hours as hundreds of
dollars and days as thousands if not
millions of dollars.
Mr. Smith , president , .of the Ex
change made reply to Miiyor Chase
explaining that the merchants here
were not altogether neglecting Ne
braska trade. They had doae a good
deal of late in that direction and were
preparing to do more. Grain was
now coming here from Nebraska. He
thought by degrees , aa waa possible ,
St. Louis would reiioh out and secure
her share of Nebraska trade. Ho
had no confidence that a barge line
would ever bo successf ull on the Mis
souri river.
Mr. George Bain , vice-president ,
differed with Mr. Smith about the
barge line , but coincided with all that
had been said about general trade with
Nebraska. He said that some years
ago he bad loaded a barga with wheat
at Omaha and another at Nebraska
City , and that ho found the barge idea
feasible , and believed that this very
year would demonstrate this fact. He
said that in 1878 , 100,000 bushels of
wheat went down the Mississippi on
barge lines to the cult outlet. Last
year over 6,000,000 bushels took the
same route , and already this year over
12,000,000 bushels have done like
wise.
wise.After
After some general and desultory
conversation on trade topics the meet
ing broke up with the best ot feeling
prevailing on both sides. Slay or
Chase will remain over in St. Louis
for a few days , and will have indi
vidual talks with prominent mer
chants on his pet subject the union
of St. Louis and Omaha.
