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. "

4 SICKEN STORY.
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.

a Family of Irish Emi
grants ,
Who Find a Haven at Last in
Omaha.
The incoming train on the C. , B. &
Q. 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.
At New York City Galw.iy found
h'msslf ont of money and w.is oblise J
to 8t p and work a wKl'd ' tlntil ho
could niisa funds EufficiLiit to pro
ceed m h s journey. 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.
Now is the ttmo to bay a gallon of .

At half past 12 oclock last night , a
suspicious character was arrested at
the corner of 19th and Cass streets.
In his possession was a valuable gold
watch and chain. He was taken to ;

that .he hid bought tbo watch at
Edholm and Erickson'e , the jewelers ,

When the officer heard this he let
him go at once , for it is a well known

Omaha s arnatciitJ afd getting up
quite a reputation and doing it in &

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.

opera hcuse , fnhich was crowded
. wi'li a select and highly appreciative
audience. 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. The occasion
was a very pleasant one , and calculat
ed to bring about a better feeling be
tween the citizsns of the two Mis
souri towns , separated only by the
channel of the Big Muddy.
