A WAEM INTIMACY.
Omaha and Council Blufis Sud
denly Conceive a Great
Friendship for Each
Other.
Omaha Will Cross the River
Again To-Day.
The scene at the corner of Harnoy
and Fifteenth streets at 4 o'clockMon61
day was an cxhtlirating ono. For
blocks on either side the streets were
crowded with sleighs and prancing
teams , while the music of the Ninth
infantry band and Olker's band of
Council Bluffa made the air ring with
melody. The occasion was the royal
good time being enjoyed by the visi
tors from Council Bltiffi and their
hosts of this city.
Messrs. D. T. Mount , Marsh Ken-
nird , W. A. Sharp and J. S. McUor-
mick had exerted themselves to show
the guests what Omaha hospitality is
the Withnell Houte was thrown
wide open to all , while committees on
the street met each advancing pirty
and invited them in for rest and re-
freshment. '
The ladies wore sumptuously enter-
tiincd in the elegant parlors on the
s icond floor , where , notwithstanding
the brief notice given , a collation of
oysters , turkey , salads , jelliec , cakes
aid every other delicacy was served
the dlnlnq-room force. The par
lors were crowded with ladles repre-
the best society in Council
, who did ample justice to the
liberality of their hocta.
The male visitors were entertained
down nlElrBj where a charming lunch ,
arranged in superb alyle , was prepared
under the superintendence of Mr.
Spsnca Stoverwhoso beaming face
welcomed the guests , and whoso active
hsnda dispensed liquid refreshments
and Raleigh's favorilea across the wal-
mt counter Mayor James , of
jrtnncil Jiluffs , Mayor Chase , of
Omaha , and lesser dignitaries
from both cities wore distinguished
amonij the delighted and harmonious
crowd. About 5 o'clock the visitors ,
after a friendly muaicil contest be-
the two bands , each playing
alternately , and after driving about
the principal streets , left for home.
In referring to their trip the Coun
cil Bluffs Nonpareil of yesterday says :
'It is ncodlces to say that young and
old , grave and gay wore last night en
thusiastic in the praise both of the re-
ceptlon and hospitality received In
our neighboring city , and the visit
will pass int-i the history of the two
cities , not only as a remarkable gath-
ring , but one M herein rivalry in busi
ness was forgotten , and in its stead an
overflow of gotd feeling chimed the
hour und will over hold a place among
treasured memories of 1F81.
The three hundred or more
ladies and gentlemen who partici
pated ill 'ong remember the royal
mnner in which they wore received
nnd treated by the generous-hearted
find enterprising citizens of our 'sin-
twister. ' The reception given the
party in the parlors of the Withnell
llouco WAS eomothing altogether un
expected , bat was nevertheless highly
appreciated. All wo can say to. the
citizens of Omaha IB , como over again
and test the hospitalities of Council
Bluflj , and just let us know an hour
or two before you come. "
ACT Tinun.
The invitation thus extended will
bo accepted , for determined
to sliotr Council Bltiffi that Omaha
can't bo outdone in display any more
than in hospitality , the people of this
city will return the friendly call.
Everybody is invited to participate in
this sleigh rida to Council Bluffs who
can do souid especially the ladies.
The party will rendezvous at the cor
ner of Fourteenth and Farnham
at 10 p" , in. , sharp , to-morrow ( Wed <
nesiay. ) Gi'ii. King and the bar
racks people will come down in full
force with a four-hone team and oth

And What Passed Through It
To-Day.
A Batch of Interesting Crimi
nal Items.
A warrant was yesterday issued
by Judge Stenberg for Pat Galligan , a
young man who seems to have the
,
faculty of always getting Into bad
scrapes and generally getting out of
them easily. The warrant was sworn
out by Joe Hagerty and tbo charge is
highway robbery. Haijorty claims
that whila intoxicated , ho was last
evening knocked diwn , on Dodge
street near an alley and had taken
from him $20 in notes and some silver
chango. He accuses Galligan of doing
the job. Tha latter was not to be
found to-day and it is presumed ho
has left the city. The act is a peni
tentiary offense.

ridged in his possession. An a tele *
ram had been received from Grand

obbery out there , the officer supposed
o had made a good haul , but this
morning it transpired that the pris0
ner had " 'borrowed" the book from
he office of a law firm in this city ,
, nd the prosecution was therefore
[ ropped.

A Sad Bereavement.
The family of Mr. Felix Slaven is
just now experiencing ono of these
terrible afflictions which have visited
oo many families -in Omaha , during
the past year. It is but a few days
sir.co they burled a little boy upon
whom was lavished all the affection
the loving heart of pironts can bestow
and no5v the household is asain
invaded by the grim destroyer and
another ono of the family taken from
human sight forever.
At 8:45 : last night Eddie , the bby
of the family , was taken by the same
dread disease , scarlet fever , at the ago
of 0110 year , ten months and twenty-
seven days , and ot 2 p. m. to-day the
loved remains were laid to rest in the
ce'rnetery ' of the Holy Sepulchre.
Another child , the eldest , is sick
with tha' fatal disease
, but his re
covery is almost assured. The sym
pathy of many friends are with the
family and we trust that the hand of
Providenca will spare them from any
further sorrow.

OR LESS.
"What does this mean } " asked our
reporter < of the agerta of the Alton.
"It moans , " was the reply , "that.
jf the Wabash or other roads meets (
the cut In rates that we will sell for
IMS than they to any given point.
Wen ill sell a little lower than any
other line , whatever their figures may
bo. "
The Alton road as is generally
understood uses the K. C. , St. Joe &
0 B. road , for the transportation of
its passengers from this city to Kansas
City , and to this road tbo local tariff
to < Kansas City , $6.20 must be paid on
all tickets sold. The Kansas City road
JS controlled by the C. , B. & Q. , and
the fact that it is being used by the .
Alton to draw the chestnuts out of the i
fire will i.aturally attract suspicion
that it is either occupying a neutral
position in the fight upon its neighbors
or : is lending aid and countenance
to the enemy. Should such a sus
picion prove to bo well grounded the
result < will be an immoiiate disruption
of the pool and a war in passenger .
rates , such as has never before been (
experienced in these parts.
LONG LOOKED FOR. I
The breaking up of the Iowa pool
Ins been au occurrence often of late
anticipated. A prominent ratlvray of
ficial said a few days ago , on return
ing from a meeting of railroad men
in New York City , that it was a matter
of a short time only. It might be in
a few months , and perhaps weeks.
That railroad men were expecting it
at any moment , and its occurrence
would reanlt in considerable benefits
vt vb Omaha. Should the C. , B. & Q.
be forced into the fight it might re
sult in the immediate bringing of their
trains into Omaha , via Plattsrcouth ,
and in that case the Wabash would
likely 1 como in over the Union PacificF
1I
bridge. The fact that Chicago and |
question of putting money into the
new bridge over thorivor at this point ,
which we are assured will bo begun in
a few month" , indicates an uneasiness
lest it should bo rcrjti red at an early
day , for it is known that the
incapacity of the Union Pacific
bridge to accommodate many
new trains in addition to those uf the
proprietor is all that has kept tbo
eastern roads out of Nebraska for this
long time. The fact that several of
the stations included in the Alton list ,
for instance : St. Louis , Lafayette , Ind. ,
Toledo , 0. , etc. , are local stations on
the Wabash , make It well nigh impos
sible for the Wabash to decline taking
up the gauntlet thm thrown down.
They must of necessity moot the rate ,
unless the Alton is influenced to with
draw from its territory. Up to noon
to-day no action looking toward a cor
responding cut on the part of the Wa
bash had been taken.
THE

no move whatever. Their ticket
agent , Mr , Frank Moores , said he had
not received any advices whatever.
He thought the Wabash , was waiting
to see what the pool lines would do ,
as it was really they whowero chiefly In-
tsrcsted. HissalesTnesiaywereheavier
than usual , notwithstanding the cut
made by the Alton. Very few Indi
anapolis passengers would go that way
as it required three days to reach In-
dirnapolis and other points east by
the Alton , while the Wabash reached
tlio same points in ono day. The ex
tra expenses of sleeping cars , board ,
time , etc. , would deter business men
from taking the cheap route although
there was over $7 difference.

consequently there will be no change
whatever in the complexion of the

BAEKEE'S BLAZE.
The Fire Which Cleaned Out
Julius Treitschke's Stock
Last Niget.
About ten o'clock last night an
alarm of fire was sounded from box
21 , No. 3 engine house. Those wbo
hurried to the spot saw a dense col
umn of smoke ascending through the
mocn lit air , proceeding from Bar
ker's new block , in the lower story of
which is situated Julius Treitachko's
grocery store and saloon.
The fire was first discovered by
John Brechbnller , the bartender , and
a couple men who were playing pool
in the sample room. Their attention
was attracted by a crackling noise in
the rear of the building and by the
sight of smoke issuing through the
doorway , between the saloon and gro
cery store , both of which are situated
upon the first floor of the block. Ona
of them immediately ran up the alley [
way to the engine house and gave the
alarm , which was responded to by the
entire department.
The fire seemed to proceed from
tne basement , used as n store-room , a
trd
densosmoke < pouring out of doori and
windows , illuminated by the glare of
the flames. This emoke ascended to
the : second story , occupied in part by
the proprietor of the Withnell housev
ttW
Mr. Matt Olair roomed in this part of
the buildingaud , Iraa awakened by .
'
the amoko. He escaped iirowly'
and saved his valuable personal prop
erty. The fire department arriving
on the ground , a vigorous fight was
made. The plate glass windows were
smashed in and several streams of water
atti
turned on the burning portion of
the building. The smoke poured
tifo
forth in dense volumes , and for a time
it looked as if the block was dooriled ;
itb
but the strenuous efforts of the boys
were fortunately successful , and in
half an hour's time the fire was en
tirely extinguished.
The block , as many know , was
nearly new , and its loss would have
been a very serious ono. It was , how
ever ' , not injured beyond the destruction
e'ti
tion of the windows and the floor of
the first story , in the room boiieath .
which the fire started. This is cov
ered ! by ample Insurance , $20,000 be
ing held on the four rooms owned by
Barker Brcn.
Treitachkc's stock ia valued at about
$13,000 , on whieh there is an insur
ance of about $7,000 , divided between
aitl
the various agencies in the city. His
stock ia almost a total loea , from the
effects of the water rather than the
efi
firo. The stock of liquors was not
injured , however , at all.
The origin of the fire is in doubt ,
but is supposed to be incendiary , and
the loss is by no means covered by the i
insurance. The firemen did good I
work , and but for their efforts the
block must have been totally de'
stroyed.
