HYKIIH , Mr. Jlyors is the shoriir at I'lntto- moiith , nnd l.o went west nfter Win- acit lust Friday , the wily ox-contiac- tot's location beiiiff discovered nt I'aoblo , Colorado. Winscit is ar- -.itod on the clmrqo of cmbczxlomonl from Dr. Black , n well known busi ness man of I'liittsmoulh , and from Uio JI. E. churoli aocioty at the s.imo jilico. The iiinount obtiiincd from thuao crooked oiierntioim aRKt'OKntos about 85,000. When Winccit fled from Omaha , December 10th , i fr. Drmcoll staten that a warinnt for him had been in thu hands of Mi.rulml Angell , of thia city , for two wuuks , which charged him with thu crimes upon which ho is now nrrentcd. Mr. Dris cell determined , when he discovered tint Winscit had cscapod arrcat here to follow him up , if it took ton years , and ho accordingly resolved liunsolf into a detective agency to work up the c.iae. In order to carry our , this still hunt successfully ho obt lined the ser vices of a woman who found work in Mrs. Winscit'tt houuo , and thronuli whom many valuable fnc a concerning the contractor and his pretended wife were obtained. The letters which wore received by Mis. Winscit indica ted that her husband had gone lirnt to Atchison , Km. , and had from there taken 1m way west , but to what exact point could not bo ascertained , na most of the letters were without post mark and were written in an inge niously contrived cipher. It was finally ascertained that Win- acit was somewhere in Colorado. Mr. Driscoll sent photographs of hia man and a description accompanying to most of the principal points in that state , nnd last week JIG heard from one of thcso in the shapu of n letter from Pueblo , which stated that n man was there corresponding to the de scription , who was advertising himself and doing business as a contractor under the name of Winacott. Instruc tions wore telegraphed to obtain this Winscott'o signature , and this was done , the paper containing it being forwarded to Mr. Driscoll. The writ ing clinched the matter. Sheriff Hyora started on Friday lust and Monday arrested Winscitt in Pueblo , finding hini _ without dilliculty. The t > nor of the dispatch that Winacit likes Colorado air would seem to indi cate that ho has made objections to accompanying thu ahorifT back here , but it is not probable that Uyors will bo seriously delayed with his prisoner. i IIAUD PAIK. While Mr. Driacoll nan been watch ing IVlra. Winscit for the purpose of discovering her husbands where abouts , ho has also been quiutly look ing up the record of the contractor , nnd has brought to light enough facts , according to hia utatemont , to demon- etratp that Winscit is a rogue and criminal of the moat pronounced character - actor , nnd that lie has been aided and abetted for many years by the woman whom ho cnllsilna wifo. Mr. Driscoll saya emphatically that they are a "hard pair" and have both been on- gngod in enough villinnioo to keep them behind the li.ua for life. TheBf Indent ami ollior infonimtion tmow ' .hat Winsuit und his wife have long been eiigiiytici in swindling and other criminal operations nil over the west. In oi'dur to more aucct-Bsfnlly curry on thin business ho has passed by the names of Wm. Norton , George D. Aimer , Win. Chancy , Qeo. Bromfmld , Win. Goodman , Wm. Davis and lut- turly as W. W. Winacott. Among other things it ia charged that Win- scit is afugitivo from justice at Doni- plian , Kas. , where ho is claimed to be wanted on the serious charge of mur , dor. The particulars of thin crime , which was committed about five years ago , arc briefly as follows : Winscit and his wife were nt u ball , when an altercation aroao over the hand of Mrs. Winacit for a dance. In the row which was created it in claimed that Winscit pulled his revolver ver and shot a man of whom ho was jaalous , killing him inatnntly. Win no it then eac&pod in the confusion nnd run out into the darkness. A partic ular friend furnished Mrs. Winsoit with n mule on which she rode , while her husband walked , all of the way to AiolriiiBon , the pair arriving there by daylight. From Atohinson they wont into Wy oming and from there drifted south' ward to Texas , whore Winscit became involved in eomo disreputable transio- tion , for which they wore obliged to skip out nnd narrowly oscapcu with their lives. In Las Vegas , Texas , they passed by the iinmu of D'Almor , and were widely known on account of their fast living and expensive habits of both. There Winscit was engaged in contracting for structures of every name nnd nature , BO that ho left many Borrowing and revenge ul credi tors behind. _ Missouri was next u scene of opera tions , and thu contract fraijjl wna re peated at St. Louis. When Wintcit skipped from there , ho left his wife that time and shu adopted thu same tuctica as practiced hot ? , pretending that she was unaware of his whorea- boutK and that ho had deserted her penniless , Through the assistance of sympathizing friends aha bccamo pro vided with rncnns nnd household goods , and was apparently doairous ot forgetting her absent husband , and only referred to him with expressions of dislike. One day filio mysteriously folded her portable possessions \\ithiii the confines of a trunk and dia.ippoarud , When next heard of she wan with her husband again , and they were re peating the same game on other con fiding subjects. At Stanbury , Mo. , Winscitappcared as a contractor , bearing the iiaino 01 Wm , Norton. He engaged to con fitruct n bank building for U , L , Tomblin , Eq. , and mndo a bin splurga < 'f ' his business. He became an active member of the I , 0 0. F. , and gained thu confidence of the lodge to euch an extent that the > made him treasurer. After a utny ol sufficient duration to establish eonsid orablo credit. Norton determined ( H skip out , aim did so under thu pretext that he was uoing after evergreens for trimming the Odd Fellows' hall Ilk- borrowed n handsome overcoat just before ho left and took it with him. The fact that neither the ardent rhn ciplo of good fellowship , the overcoat , nor the evergreens showed up in that neighborhood after. nrd demonstrated to the [ people of Stanbury who had had business dealings with Mr. Norton that they had caat their bread upon waters from whrnco it is extremely unlikely to re- turn. It waa found upon examination into his ulluirs that he had left the town poorer by several thousand dollars lars than before hn atruck it. It was after leaving Stinbury that ho came to Omaha and assumed the position of foreman at I3oyd's opera house. After the completion of that structure ho branched out as a con tractor and at the time ot his depar ture , December 10 , ho had about forty buildingu on his handy. His credit became largo and ho borrowed con siderable money to oury on his uper.t lions in this city beside the ruiiounir. ho obtained at Vlitttnnn nth. His total indebtnosa ia about § 8,000 , Ol this amount it h not thought that Winscit carried away much , ns ho had been mout lavish in hia expenditures. Personally he was n most agreeable gentleman to meet , and was very gen erous with his frumiln. Ony of the recently discharged U. tt M. con ductors wears n handsome diamond pin presented him by Winscit , in return - turn for n fnvor donu the hitter in the way of transportntion , while several gentlemen in thu city have been madu the recipients of handsome gifts of various kinds. Architect Driscoll has been inter esting himself to nuch an extent in the capture of Winscit , bicauso of the embarrassment caused him by the Iftttcr'rt leaving. Ho had dtawn plans for Rovcntcon of NVinacit's contem plated or partly finished structures , and wiia consequently blamed by some of the pai ties who had advanced money , because he had been associn icd with the rascally contractor. This persevering hunt for the man and the aucccss attending it will , doubtless , tully exonerate Mr. Driscoll from any responsibility in Winsctt's transactions , and at the same time reflect great credit upon him for keen detective ability. Winsiit represented here that he had been associated in years gone by with I'iukerton's detective force. A letter was sent to Mr. Pmkorton with a photograph , and elicited a reply that the official had never seen Winscit or had him in hia employ. The whole caieer of Winscit and his wife is cbuded by discreditable transactions , and it is highly probable that they have reached the end of their rope. Gospel Temperance Meeting. The W. 0. T.

The committee appointed some time ago by the board of trade to draft a bill providing for the paving of our atreot , has completed its work and has united with our legislative delega tion in u petition to Gov. Nance to embody in hia call for n special session of thu legislature , the matter of leg islation for citiua of the first , class. Messrs. Cowin , Doane. llowe nnd Prilchntt , united in working up thu bill , which is regarded ixa proof againat nil attacks on thu constitutionality of the bond clause. Thu bill was endorsed by thu citi zens' committee and by the represen tatives of Douglas county on Friday night , and its principal features uro na follows : The city council is given power to pave any a trout which they deem ne cessary to be pavedincise n majority of the.property holders on the street desire mhavo it paved they may unite in a petition to the council , and then it ia obligatory upon the council to have it done. The bill provides for paving districts. One or more blocks may constitute n district. This de pends upon the number of property holders uniting. Bonds not to exceed 8100,000 nro to bo issued annually , to run ten years at 0 per cent. , and nro alien lion upon the property , the city thus guaranteeing thu payment. Thu city in to pave thu intersection of streets and thu spaces opposite thu alloytt. This is 1'ijuul to one-third , so that 8100,000 is equal to § 300,000 of pav ing , thu property owners paying for two-thirds. Provision ia made for u board of public works , to consist of three men appointed by thu mayor and continued by the council , their terms to be one , two and three years , so that thu bourd will always have two old members , The salary o ! the chairman ifl not to exceed $2,000 per annum , and the salary of the other members ia nut to exceed $1,000. STILL HOLDING OUT. The Striking Shovolora Stick to Thsir RefitHnl to Work. A Few Mon Remain on the Ground nud nro Protected by the Pollco. The condition of affairs in the ahovelers strike for higher wages ia unchanged yesterday. Yesterday about two hundred and fif y moil con gregated at the point where the H & M. excavating is going on with their shovels nnd indicated their \viljiiujncs.s to go to work nt $1.50 a day Mr. Stephenaon again refused to grant the increase nnd the men did not resume operations. They were poacablo and orderly but remained on the spot for a long time endeavoring to induce throe or four men who had gone to work to quit also. The police worn upon the ground early but found nothing to demand their presence and after a time with drew. There docs not seem to bo any dis position on the part of thu strikers to take possession of the place or to com mit any violence , but the men are evidently of the opinion that they can dissuade any other laboiera from going to work and think that Stophcnson will bo obliged to give in to their de mands. They state that it will bo nocoasary for him to get men to work pretty soon , as the time allowed far completion of the job ia limited. At one p. m. ycsttr.lay nboutfiftccn men attempted to go to work in the cut , but the crowd again gathered and interfered with them to such an ex tent that all but four or five gaveiI up. The only man who has not bjun bothered by the strikers' intorferopco is an elderly Iriuhnuin , h ith duif und dumb. He keeps steadily at hia job , and as none of the crowd are especi ally anxious to run againat hin pick- itxo , they leave him alone. Contractor Stcphonsou said s'u'tii- ficantly yesterday that ho would have men at work to day who wouldn't stuiid any foolishness , and intimated that if the strikers inter fered with them there would bo some sore heads in that vicinity. HOSIERS' CASE. The Flea in Abatement Sustained by Judoro Savage. The plea in abatement filed by the counsel for Charles Kosters , wan arpnod in the district cou t yeafo d < iyby Messrs. Cowin and Stnythcand District Attorney Burnhnm. So plain waa the proposition on which the pica waa founded and the law on thu nub- ject that Judge Savacro did not con sider it necessary to delay his decision. The pica washeldgood. This decision will alfect on two cases , that ot Masters and Henry Si rt and both will be hold over to awuit the action of the grand jury next teiiri unless a special grand jury ia called. District Attorney Burnham saya he will thia morning ask the court to call a special grand jury and pro cure new indictments against both Kostors and Siort so that their cases can be taken up this term. The jury in the case of A. Biorbaum was discharged at 1:30 : p. ra. and the bond forfeited. ABSENT ABRAM , Bierbaum Breaks A-way from the Bastile , And 13 Thought to bo Exploring the Bottom of the Missouri. There was quite a little sensation in the district court yesterday which is rather dillicult to deal with on account of the uncertainty as to whether the subject ia a villain or a victim. The trial of Abram Bierbanm , no ausod of receiving stolen copper from the gang of boys who hud been raid ing the U. P. shops nnd yards , was begun Monday nnd should have benn concluded ycaterd.xv but for the fact t at t e accusoa was conspicu ously absent. It was reported on thu street before the court officials were informed of the fact' , that Biorbaum had skipped the town , und his bondsmen - , men , Henry Spieglo and Imiac Brown , were buay hunting for detectives to put on thu track of thu absent indi vidual , fur whoso appearance they had given security to thu tune of 91,000 , When court had been called yus terdny und thu usual routine busi ness disposed of , the jury who had sat on Bierbaum'a cose waa in tlio box and ready to listen to the concluding tosti niony. District , Attorney Burnham announced that the defendant waa not in the court room and the deputy sheriff railed him throe times without succusa , after which the bondsmen's names were called and the bond of $1,000 forfeited. Hon. J , C , Cowin , one of liici- bnum'a counsel stated that hia clii'ii. WUB absent and that he believed it to bi through no intention to evade the roault of the trial. IIo said thar Bierbaum was seen Monday , wan dering about the streets , tearing Jib hair , groaning nnd carrying on like one bereft of reason ; that nlHiut 0 o'clock yesterday ho struck oil' toward the river and hia friemlH feared that he hud thrown himself in and had been looking for him for nev- iirnl hours. "lie haaieon \ , " said Mr Cowin , "tho victim of n damnable conspiracy and it haa preyed upon his mind until ho haa gone crazy. " The general naked , if it waa consistent with the rules of the court , that the jury bo not discharged but held for a short time , aa ho expected Bierbaum. would be found in n low hours. Col. Smytho made u similar state ment to the court , and accordingly the jury WM merely oxouued until 1:30 : p. m. , when it was believed the whereabouts of the mUsiiw man would become known. Tim nnproa- sipn conveyed by his counaol is that Bieilnum has committed auicidu from the cllcctsof worrying over hia trouble , but the conduct of his bondsmen dots not indicate that they are very tntiguhio of any nuch aot having been committed. Tut : 13in : reporter talked with an officer who was conversant with the facts in the cnsonnd ko scon * ed the idea of Bierbaum having suici ded , lie declared him to bo n ku' man nnd laughed nt the idea of ncm spirncy. "Ho haa skipped the tovui , that's nil , " was his emphatic remark. It hna been stated on the street that Biorbaum paid his bondsmen tin money before ho left but this was not likely and it is really a matter of doubt as to whether ho was driven to tnko his own life or haa yonu off to escape retribution for his crime. PETTY BURGLARY. A Midnight Marauder Rifles the Clothes of Two Mon. A potty burglary occurred atAm merman's saloon on the corner of Thirteenth and Hnrnoy streets Sun day night Two of Xiininonnan'n oin ployes , Henry Stringer and Philip Snyder , were Bleeping in a stntill room back of the bar room , nnd the bur glnr entered from u back dour by torcing the look.

The report was received poiter- day that Murray , who io implicated in the murder of Henry Stroebech at Keg Creek township , Iowa , had been captured at lied Oak , in that state , and is on the way to Council Bluffs. Joe Betts , the negro arrested ot charge of doing the shooting , is in ( be county jail in this city , and will prob ably bo taken to the Bin Us yesterday on a requisition. Bolts was detected through his desire to see hia girl , Muria Campbell , a colored woman of unsavory reputation. When arrested , ho was sleeping with her at a house occupied by a colored man named Green. The house won surrounded and Betts induced to sur- rpndtr ut the muxzlo of a mvolvnr The idi'oiter was very cool iinMl h reached the jail , where ho eei-nivd n wi'-iki n Bomewh it. The woman ful- lowt'd the officers to the jail nnd WHS Micro detained , as it is snspiciouorj ahi ) may prove an important witness. The ollicors in this city who assisted Edgcrton , Mor.io and Sterling in mak ing the arrosb were I'oiiuoiuen Buck leyand Jauobaon and Special Police- iiiun Hill. ° BRICK THE STREETS. An Entirely Now Paving Proposition. To the Editor of Thu lice : There is a deposit of clay w ithin the city limits which if converted into well made and thoroughly burned bricks will resist a pressure of three to four thousand pounds to the square inch just the thing to pave our streets. Three courses should be used : the first laid ilat tmd cemented , the second cource laid on edge and cemented , the third and lust course laid like the Nicholson blocks , which touch each other at the base , leaving n apace of say one-half inch between the balance of the bricku for asplml- turn. One thousand such bricks will lay eight yards , costing $1.25 per ynrd , the bricks being furnished at 810 per thousand. Stiectu pavud thereby will bo impervious to mois ture from below or above , dry , com pact , solid , durable and cheap , and as fur boa'uty they would delight the eye of Oscar Wilde. If the bricks should bo chosen to j.avo with an extensive manufactory would bo added to our progressive city and thousands saved on freights. The bond burden , too , will set lighter on the shoulders of the tax payers and all will bo proportionately tionately happier. E. B. HUWT. SILVER MINERS.

A Spirited Cocking Main Between Onraostora from this City nnd Council DlurTs. - r Among local sporting events none hail attracted more attention than the cocking limn nhieli occurred about two inilea north of the city Monday afternoon , The fact that the fighta were to bo between Council Bluffs birds and those from this city intensi fied the interest felt by sporting men on both sidea of the river. Thamatch waa made for $100 , but the amount of money left on this sidu y the BlufT- itea considerably oxccndod five times that amount. About four hundred spectators , saw the main , which in cluded five battles. ThoOmnlu birda won four out of five The fighting was sharp nnd in all caaei but ono de cided by the death of the vanquished birds. It ia claimed by the Council BluH's parties that they wore permitted only to drop "ataga , " or birds less than two years old , in the pit against- full aged cocks , and that they did not ex pect to win under those conditions. The long gall's woio used , alao , which the Blutla men claim was an addition- ul disadvantage to their > oung birda which were without experience An other main haa been ugreed upon nnd will probably tnkti place willim a week or ten days.
