The train np from Lincoln at noon Sitnrdayover the O.J&R. Y : , was a few minutes late , and came in looking ai if it was direct from the Arctic regions. The engine was covered high with enow and the wheels and machinery thickly encrusted with Ice. The tender was a snow bank and the interior of the cab a bed of clash. The engineer , Mr. Ed. Mathks , reported having had the worst trip this winter. The wind had drifted all the cute full and in many placea it was very difficult to force a way through. He made a good fight however and was nearly on time. His fireman , he sayi , was BB wet &s a rat all the way np , being covered with snow one mlnnto which the hot fire melted to water the next. JfORTH OF US. The storm hw bem even more severe and all the cuts are packed tight with snow. One train is snowed In twelve miles north of Omaha , one between Tekamah and Oakland and a third at the fatal cut near Middle Creek. The storm at Emerson and Hubbard was terrific. There Is no certainty when the road will be open. A HARD SEIQE. TheLIncoln Journal of Saturd ay says : "The heavy cuts on the various roads which had been filled with snow on Wednesday night , were cleared dur ing Thursday and Thurday night , and yesterday morning our railroad men reported the roads free from obstruc tion on nearly all lines. The railroad boys have had a hard aeige of It for a few days past , many of them working day and night , that the road might be made clear for the trains that arrived and loft yesterday. In a few placea on the A. & N. dlvlaion of the B , & M. two locomotlvea and a anowplow were used In removing the snow from the track , and even with the two locomotlvea It waa very hard work. In a few places along the old Midland road the snow was even with the car windows , and when the en gine dashed Into the banka the anew was thrown over the pilot , and lodged so that the engineer could not see anything ahead of him but a monn- Uin of enow. Tha train for Nebraska City , we believe , was the only one that failed to leave. " A NEW FEED STORE. Geo. 0.

Charter Amendments In a few particulars our report of the charter meeting in Lincoln was not correct The proposition of onr city council respecting the sinking fund reads as foliowri : "The sinking fund shall not exceed 15 mills , and be used only for the piyment of the in terest and the principal of our bended od indebtedness , when duo , for judg ments against the city for damages to persons and property , or , In other words , no judgments obtained against the city for work performed by order of the council , " etc. In the discussion pending this prop osition before the delegation , Senator Howe moved thiit the words "for judgment agalnat the city for damages to persons and property , or , in other words , " be stricken out. He argued that this fnnd should be held sacredly to the purpose for which it is made. ART SCHOOL. This much-needed institution in Omaha will shortly bo established at A.

About one o'clock yesterdaj after noon a man who Rave hla name aa J. A. Webb , and represented himself to be a travelling man from St. Joe , went to the livery stable of Mr. G. W. Homan , on 13th street , and hired a team for the purpose , as he said , of making a hasty trip to Council Bluffs , expecting to return In a couple of hours. Mr. Homan gave him a fine side bar top buggy , . silver mounted , and one of his best pole teams , a light bay horse , a high stapper , and a brown mare. He fitted him out with a set of fine silver mounted harness , two lap robes and two horse blankets. The man drove off and thus far has failed to return. Nothing was suspected until yesterday morning , as the man was quite respectable in apprarance and It waa supposed that he had been obliged to remain in the Bluffs on bnslneas. Yesterday , however , Mr. Homan became uneasy and telephon ed to the principal livery stables on the east side to know if his team or any trace of them had been seen , the answer invariably being in the neg ative. He accordingly came to the conclusion that the fellow had made off with the rig , and telephoned to several promin nt places through out this vincinity , and alee had a number of postal cards printed offer ing a reward § 25.00 for the thief's captnred tnd of $25.00 for the team. The man waa apparently thirty or forty yeara of age , of medium height , moustashed , sandy complexion and weighed about 150 pounds. He wore a light colored ulster at the time of his application for the team. Real Estate Transfers. Jeremiah 0. Wllcox to Mra. E. H.

And Carry off the Currency at the Muzzle of Their Revolvers. One of tbe most daring and suc cessful robberies that haa been per petrated In this state for years , was that which took place at Wahoo on Saturday evening , the firat news of which reached this city about 11 o'clock the same night. On that evening - ning , a special train , bearing the leg- iilatora and others who had waited to see the close of the senatorial contest * at Lincoln , left for Omaha , passing through Wahoo about 9:30 : p. m. The regular train , a mixed freight and mail train , duo there at 5:35 : p. m.was late , owing to the snow on the west end of the line , and the agent of the road , Mr. 0. T. Honder- Bon , was still at the depot at 10 o'clock waiting for its arrival. While sitting there alone TWO MASKED MEN suddenly entered the waiting room , one of them holding a cocked revolver in each hand. One of the two was about five feet , ten inches in height , rather slender , and wore a gray over coat which reached nearly to his knees , a pair of overalls a little short for hia pacts , and a pair of gloves with well worn gauntlets. He wore a red bandanna handkerchief about hla throat and another one covering his face and hat. His companion was short , thick set , and abont five feet , four inches in height. His head was masked the s mo aa the other party. He had on a short gray overcoat , patched injifte lower lelft hand corner , and wore short , heavy , black glovea , and overshoes. The former , who held the revolvers , ordered the agent , Henderson , to hold hia HANDS UP 1 and at the sune time demanded his money. Henderson replied that he had forwarded all hla money to Omaha on the special from Lincoln a short time before. The robber replied that he did not believe it and glancing op at the clock on the wall told tbo agent they wonld give him just one minute to unlock the office safe , and being covered by two revolvers , and believ ing that the men meant what they said , he complied with their demand. The tone and conduct of the men was noticed to be BATHBR NERVOUS , and such as to indicate that they were engaged In a business that was new to them. Henderson is a young ma.i cf about 32 yeara , rather tall , but of slen der build. He IB considered to ba nervy and on the shoot If occasion re quires , but was on this occasion proba bly unarmed and was defenceless against his adversaries. The depot is located a quarter of a mile to the eait of the town , the only buildings In the neighborhood being the grain warehouse and elevators. Under the circumstances there wan no alternative but to comply with the imperative de mand and the agent'evinced judgment and good sense in preferring A GRACEFUL SURRENDER to the inevitable , rather than to be , shot. While the first ruffian held the revolver , the second went through the safe. In doing so ho was compelled to take off his gloves , exhibiting thereby a pair of fair , fleshy hands The robbers found about $922.00 in the safe , all of which was the com pany's money and which was done up in packages ready to bo forwarded by the east-bound regular , which nai late. Having SECURED THEIR PLUNDER , they demanded of Mr. Henderson the key of the office , and having warned him to make no unnecessary alarm they went out , and after lockIng - Ing him iu , quickly disappeared. Af ter remaining quiet for about ten minutes Henderson climbed out through one of the windows , and has tened to the residence of Sheriff John son , which is in the main portion of the town , a quarter i f a milo away. The officer was soon alarmed , aud with the agent and others immediately began a PURSUIT OF THE MEN. They wore enabled to track them for some distance in the snow , but after i awhile the wind drifted the tracks , full and the clue was lost. An en deavor to find it again failed , and the party thereupon abandoned the search and returned to the depot , whence a telegram was at once sent to the gen eral offices in this city , with a deacrip tiou of the bold crime and the ap- puaranco of the desperadoes. On re ceipt of the information it was tale- phoned to General Manager Kimball , and a carriage was sent for Deputy U. S. Marshall Ball , who w&s stop ping In the northern part of the city , { and that officer was taken to the de- 1 pot to be ready to go out on ! THE FIRST TBAIN. 1 These preparations attracting con siderable notice , and it being known i that Mr. Nash waa in a buggy driv ing around at such aa hour , hla name became confused with that of Mr. Nash , of the Smelting Worke , and gave rise to a rumor which waa gen erally circulated yeiterday that the Smelting Works had been robbed , etc. At 12:15 : p. m. yesterday A SPECIAL TBAIN , consisting of an engine , baggage car and coach , in charge of Conductor Earl , left the U. P. depot ahead of train No. 3 , for Wahoo , having on board Supr P. J. Nichols , Ool. K. H. Wil bnr , traveling auditor , and Special Agent Valentine , of the department of justice , at Washington , who went to join in proseruting the search. Supt. J , T. Oiark , who was out west , wa telegraphed , and A REWARD of 8250 was offered for the capture and conviction of the parties who perpetrated the deed and for the re covery of the money. This offer , to gether with the above description of thorn , was telegraphed to aU agents eaat of North Platte on the main line of the 0. & R. V. , the M. & . B. Y. , the St. Joe & Western , and the 0. N. and B. H. branches. It seems almost impossible that the criminals .should escape , as they cannot travel far in any direction without crossing the company's lines. TO MY CUSTOMERS.
