Of this amount , A CONTRACTOR'S CUD , Which Seems to be a Bitter One to Chew. A Shot at Secretary Shelton. It will be remembered that some days ago Mr. J. W. Rutherford , of St Joseph , Mo. , who had taken the principal contract for conatrncting the Omaha waterworks , eudderly , and somewhat mysteriously dropped out of the company and left his contract to be filled by other hands. The ex planation given by the president of the company , in a published card , was to the effect that Mr. R. gave up bis contract at the request of the com pany , after being formally noti- ' Bed that be had failed to . prosecute the work in accordance with I the terms of his contract , being thereby - by liable for damages to them , and that be had failed to furnish a satisfactory bond , in consequence of which shortcomings the company cancelled - celled his contract and settled with the contractor in full for work done and mrterial furnished. In a recent internal with a re porter of The St. Joe Gazette , Major Rutherford says that the facts are not correctly stated in this card and that aa they have opened fire on him ho "intends to carry the war into Africa. " Ha said he regretted very much that they had forcsd him I to apeak , but that his reputation as a prompt , capable and responsible engi neer was at stake , and he was forced to defend himself. ' 'Having com pleted seventeen important public Works to tLo satisfaction of all con cerned , he does not now desire to have it said that he flashed in the pan. " "Major Rutherford , " as the Gazette puts it , then wont on to make his state ment against the officers of the Omaha Waterworks Co. , pay ing his respects particularly to Mr. Shelton , who , he claims , has been the chief stjinbling- block , and the cause of a great deal of the trouble. The Major eaya that the contract gave him until July 1 , 1881 , to finish his work , and provided that he was not to suffer from the neglect of the founderies or other compauits to famish material and supplies. He "purchased a largo amount of brick , hydrants , valves and other necessary articles , and com menced work in a very energetic man- " This work progressed very well I until the bitter cold weather eet in , when it became impossible Jo pro3P- cnte the work further until the weather moderated. The Omaha Waterworks cjtnpany was very anxious , the major S.JM , to get fictitious estimates made so they could make a good showing in New York and dispose of their bonds. Rutherford said ho told them that it was impossible to carry on the work in the bitter cold weather , and that they knew it was a fact- Finding that they could not got the estimates they desired unde , they saw that they would not be able to continue the job under the contract , on account of an absence of funds , and then they at tempted to get out of the whole thing , and make him ( Rutherford ) the delinquent , instead ot themselves. They demanded a farther bond from Major Rutherford that ho would com plete the job at the specified time , and he told them Le would give them any bond they desired , provided they would give him a bond oho , in which they would bind themselves to give him his money every thirty days as pur the original contract. This , the major says , they refused to do , and gave no reason for their refusal except that it WAS not necessary and that everybody know they were responsible. Right hero it seems that there was a wide difference of opinion , for while they claimed to be perfectly good , Major Rutherford says ho had at rived at the conclusion that they wcra not good at all , and he was not willing to bind himself up just as they desired , when they refused to give him any guarantees whatever ex cept their word. He offered to give them time and again any bond they desired if they would only satisfy him regarding his own pay. " The Major then details at length . the refusal of the board to agree to "his ultimatum , " and claims that the whole thing was a trick to gel out of the contract , and make it appear that he was in the wrongHo declares it to bo a well known f.iH in Omaha that the company has not the money to do the work , and that President Boyd'g declaration in open council that they were trying to build the works on wind is about correct. Ho says Mr. Shel ton is inexperienced , and has been permitted by the directors to make I j moss of the whole thing , by blander ing at every move ho has made since the outset. "Tho whole matter in a nut shell , " repeated the major again , ' 'is , they are tryirg to'run the matter on wind , as Mr. Bo > d * aye , and Sht-1- ton having made a mess cf the matter desires to vindicate himself at my ex- pens ? , and I do not intend thatheshall do so.

Two Children Adrift in the .Cold Behind a Runaway Team. Reported Discovery of the Eunawaya at the Platte ' | River. A ttory which wa slncerelj hope may prove to bo censWerably exag gerate came to us yesterday , the loca tion of which is Sarpy county. A f .truer from that county was in the clip yesterday inquiring for news ol a couple of missing chil Jren , aged respectively thiee and five years } They weaa too little aon and daugh ter of a Earner who recently located in Sarpy , ani their disappearance is due to a curicus circumstance. The father was out on Tuesduy morning < hitching up the team to gofer for a lc ad cf corn , and the two little ones , who were out in wraps for a morning airing were in the wagon bed watching hu proceedings with inter- eat. Sndc'enly the dog ran out from bzhind aa'ird orwccdpilo and I Tight ened the InrEe * , which at once started off on the rlln. They con tinued at full ° pccd until out of sight , while the fr-.i Uti father wai poperies ? to aid ilia children who were cirriod off in atmosphere that was ce\eral degrees . balowzero. ] Thc-e was a-rn-a hiy in tin wagon-bet ! , arid UK cl.ilJrtn werB probably throwu djsvn in oir , and be ing well wrapped up , wuuli not suffer until seme time after , unless the wag on should bo overturned. The team was traced for several miles on foot , but not overtaken , and up to last ac count ; , neither horses nor children had been discovered , though diligent search was being made for them It was rumored , our informant said , th.it Mr. A. Doboy , living near the Platte , which formh the bouiidary be tween Sarpy and Cass , had setn a team of horaes near the river the same evening , to which nothing was at tached but a eet of harness , and if this is true there can bo little doubt of the terrible fate of the two children. It HI however , more than likely that on such a cold day the team would soon tire our , and that they have eonght rerugo in Some friendly shelter , where 1 they and their innocent but unwilling passengers have been cared for. A. more terriblu fate could scarcely be imagined for helpless person - son * , tlnn to have bean tarnod adrift behind a runaway toirn on such a day as Tuesday Itst. LIST CHANCE.

Wednesday brought a young couple who have begun early to experience the difficulties which beset the travelers - elers injlife's pathway. James and Mary Galway are from Southern Ireland - land , and are en ronte to Oregon to lettle in the region ot the great wheat district about Walla Wslla , W. T.P1 They have been married about five years , although the wife is now only twenty years of age , and a hope of bettering their condition they loft Ireland with a small sum of money , saved by dint of great economy , for I the long trip across the Atlantic and the bonndlcEs prairies of America. They had been blessed in their mar- ried life with five children , two of whom were twins , and on the voyage across two of these died from some fe ver contracted on ship-board , bn < * their bodies were conaiBr/e * to * 'ie ' deep to res' with oiharAroauuif s in its fttliomlesB depth * until summonsd foth on th ureat day whic'i many Relieve Yo ba not fir distant.

During this time two more members of their lit tle family sc'ened aud died , and they finally started aguu with.but half the number th < it Ind composad their fam ily circle when they left Ireland. This was about three weeks ago , P nd ! on arriving in Chicago they met \vith still another mis fortune , for while awaiting the time fixed for them to leava the city , thooL-ly remaining child , the eldest , wandered away from them and was lost. Notwithstanding the efiVts of the police and offieub , generally , to find thi missing babe , it has never been < seen nor heard of from the day of ! its disappearance to this. It would BQom ai if after all thesa blows , no further loss could be in store tor the ftui unfortunate travelers , but on the uire road to Omaha , the husband lost his wallet , containing his ! tickets and a very little email change , which was to provide them with food on the way. This last ob stacle ' effectually precluded the idea of attempting to reach their destination this winter , and consequently they have stopped in Omaha for the pre sent , with the determination of work ing at whatever jobs they can get to do until they shall be nblo to start out Rgaim Mr. Galway has been cm- ployed by the proprietor of ono of our hotels , and bis wlfo will probably He- cure work in some private family. The latter is a quiet and very pretty young woman , to whom continued strokes of bad luck has lent a care worn and melancholy appearance. The husband is but twenty-five years of age , and he is , although very much discouraged with the experience of the past few weeks , not yet out of heart with the prospects for making a living and securing a comfortable home in free America.

Wednesday oar re porter saw two of M. W. Kennard'a busses , loaded with young paaple , driving down towards the ice bridge , and on inquiry learned that it was the Ivanhoe dramatic company on route to Council Bluffs , where they were billed to jplay Wednesd y for the benefit of the Catholid Fair in progress at that city. This coi piny was organized in Omaha about five weeks ago , and their first appearance was In the beautiful domestic Irish drama , "Erin Aroon , " written by Mr. J. F. Faux , of this city. Tnis drama is mainly devoted to an exposition of the present life of the Irish peasant and the English landholder , being a true picture of tbe results of tbo enforcement of the ejectment law for the non-payment of rents and the limely appearance of the land league. The parts were all filled by ama teurs , tbe "star" of the company be ing Mr. J. Ed. Smith , who has appear ed several times on the boards in this city and always with great credit to himself. His role was that of princi pal comedian , in the characters of Tim Flagherty and Miles O'Reily. The remainder of thcTcast was as fol lows : Sir John Livingston , J. W.

Encores and applause wefo bestowed unsparingly , and a I toore gratifying reception could ' not have been given the visitors , had they composed one of the oldest troupes on the road. They , in ' return , did excellently , and not a flaw marred the performance , during the entire evening. Mr. J. F. Faux offi- ciated as director. At the close of the performance the company were treated to anjoyster sup per , and invited to take part in a ball , mid between feasting and dancing , the time passed merrily , until a late hour , when the delighted amateursrecrosc > ed tbe raging Missouri by the icy tray and landed on Omaha ground about three o'clock.
