Now that the northwestern trtfhblca have boon amicably adjusted hot Ht- tlo difficulty will bo found in tottllng all matters about which thrro Is any mlaundorotandlng in tin gouthwcat- crn and Iowa pools. The latter haste to take aomo notion regarding the con tinued diversion of business via the Illinois Oontral'n Omaha routo. . ' [ t Is probable that the St. P.xul & Omnha , now controlled by the Northwestern , and which forma a part of ( ho Illinois Central's Omaha line , will break its contract with the Illinois Central , and thns prevent the latter from doing any Omaha business. The North western , which is not ovorfrlondly towards the Illinois Central , will not allow the contract between the Omaha and Illinois Central to bo carried out if it can possibly bo avoided , and rail roads have never yet found great difll- mlty in breaking a contract when they : olt inclined to do so. As regards the formation of n ; onornl lumber pool on all lumber rmn Chicago and Wlaconsin and Mississippi river pblnts to Missouri rivur pointo there can bo bat little doubt that the obj tot will now bo ac complished , as the Oraoha line , which has canned most of the trouble , will bo galdod by the Northwuntorn'a no tion , and the latter has all along been in favor of such a pool. The lumber rates arc so low now that the roadu are loting money in the buslneta , itnd they are only too anxious to have the ratua restored to paying figures. Mr. GoorRO Olds , of the Missouri Prtciflu , who haa boon intrusted with the tuik of arranging dlvisiona andporountaguo for the various lines and routes , haa boon atudying the arguments of the various lines far some days , nnd ho will bo prepared at the next mooting to glvo his decision. In regard to the proposed formation of a pool on passsngor busineea between twoon Chicago and St. Louis , Chicago and Kntiaao City , nnd St. Louis and Kansas City it is safe to say that ne suoh pool will bo formed , as there is too wide a difference regarding tlits matter between the various roads , The stand taken by the Hock Island and Alton regarding the matter of pay- "ng commissions for the aalo of tickoto s an insurmountable obstacle in the way of the formation of suoh a pool.

A FUDDLIf G PUZZLE. AssnagiDg the Brief of a Mer chant and Drinking at His Expense , A Sprit-ual Seance In Ono of tbo Parlors of the Puxton. A few congenial spirits mot acci dentally in the rotunda of the Pftiton Ohristumi night. They had boon spending the evening variously , and all were as happy as they may bo ex pected to bo who have spent Christmas - mas in ideal ways , The easy chairs And settees of the hotel were vacated and the marble halls of the great csravansary were almost as silent as the bosom when the spirit has departed , The gentlemen of pretty Jato hours wore convening very pleasantly. An occasional subdued yet hearty laugh told that the late hour had not the potency to impel them to their couches. A general murmcr of approval of something ono of thorn had said , had died away , when slowly and in the the direction of the chattering coterie , caino the measured tread ot an ad dition to their number. Ho was n Farnam street merchant , worth thous ands , and caring loss for ono of thorn than others would for a dollar. But ho disliked to bo cheated. And he'd spent many a ducat to catch and re ward the man who succeeded in do- fraudlny him. Uo had just bcou cheated and his frlonda were uwaro of it. It was a matter of but a few dollars lars , yet it galled him grievously. Slowly , with hands in his pockets , lazy demeanor nnd corrugated brow , ho advanced. ' 'Gentlemen , " said ho , "I haven't found the kangaroo that robbed mo of my thirty-five dollars , But I will if it coats mo Cvo hun dred. " " 01 let it drop , " oxclolmod ono of the listeners ; "hu'n only a cur , any way. " "Thirty.fivo dollars , did you say ? " asked a second. "Why , I heard a party at tnblo say , to-dny , ho could provo you had lost but $15 , and the article you HnloT- < " "Fifteen dollars , bo blessed ! It's nothing of the kind. I hoard that myself. I'vo hoard a half hundred people talk of this business , and some wunt to make it appear I'vo lest $50 , I'm tired of thia , I'll prosccutu the next man I hoar talk about it , " said the injured merchant. Ho win turning sway offendodjivhon ono of the gentlemen overtook him to talk with and placate him. And while thli was transpiring the acribo learned the cause of the trouble. A cuatomcr had bought a chair for $5 , and had offered in payment a $20 bill , The clerk had to go to the bank for change. Returning , $15 were given the customer in ohungo , who also took the piece of furniture and disappeared. The bank discovered the bill to bo n counterfeit and de manded that it bo rodoomod. And so it was. The chair man had given his chair ai.d fifteen dollars to the custo mer , and had given $20 to the bank and claimed consequently that ho had lost $35 and the chair. Some of the party hold ho had lest $40 , others $20 , others $25 , and others still , many and various sums. Indeed the gathering seemed likely to repeat the scones which distinguish ed the graduates' dinner when the electoral commission was introduced as a topic. Just at the warmest mo ment , a railway gentleman of massive frame requested a young gentleman , whom ho called the "Possessor. " to work out the problem. But the "PoEBossor" was lost in admiration of a hat braid , beautifully painted by fair hands , that had just boon placed against the canopy ot his hat. The railway gentleman then waved back a look from hia brow , so fixed and white , took a pencil , called all around him and began a di sign. It was not after Raphaelnor Angolonor Ilubonsj nor Macllso ; it did seem a little distance after Bernhardt. By moans of that design , and that induc tion peculiar to the gravo-diggor in Hamlet , ho demonstrated to the Far- uam ntroot merchant that ho had lost but $10 11 And that Fdtnam street merchant's eyes had n far-off look , but they saw nothing beyond the railway gentleman , The silence was ono of suspense , Was the merchant con vinced 1 Ho rose slowly , turned on his heel , and walked away. The con- vivialists looked each ether in the fuco. Ono of thorn was about to apeak , when the merchant returned , " ( Jcntlomon , " ho said , "I om't nay that my friend , " gently pressing the railway gentleman's shoulder , ia right I won't say that he's wrong ; "I will say that ho haa inado mo fool queer , as did a banker , to-day , who proved to mo I had lost $50. This ia the bast fifteen or fifty puzzle over in vented. I'll let any of you patent it. In conclusion , gentlemen , I have left my pocket-book with a gentleman in an adjoining room on this floor , and when you are thirsty you'll iind that he'll find something in it to assuage the fooling. " And then ho walked away. It happened at that moment that all the gentlemen were thirsty , and they wont and were thirsty no moro. It Is still an open question , How many dollars did that merchant ioso ] A MOST WQNUEHFUL ADDIflON to lite choice MI'HJM that ttock n larder it "Hun PUNCH.

Among the holiday festivities , the "Oaristmas Grectim ? " tendered the Sabbath school children of the Con gregational chnrsh on Monday evening - ing , under the auspices of the officers and teachers , was ono of the most en joyable events of the sjison. The church was brilliantly lit up by half past seven o'clock , at which time their frionda and relatives had filled the church , Much pains had bocn taken , and no oxppnso spared , in dec orating the church with appro priate designs , wreaths nnd fig ures , In front of the pulpit stood twooadar trees hung with num erous presents of variegated colors , thickly studded with small wax candies - dies suspended from their Blunder twigs , through the foliage of which gleamed their flickering ll hio. Ba- twoon these luxuriant trees was ar- rangnd a small archway in the shape of a rainbow covered with evergreens , in which wan closely dotted small wax oandloi of diversified colors , Imme diately back of this , and on an elevated - vated plain , WAD orostedtho homo nnd retreat of Sinta Clause , the sides and ends of which were made of fine lace curtains , covered with a choice selection of .over- greens and cedars.

An Interview With the Madison Spare Theater Manager , Ihe "Eameralda" Company En Route to the Pacific Coiat , Mr. Charles Blanchott , welt and favorably known as a theatrical man ager , arrived in Omaha Sunday , en route for San Francisco , where ho is to look af tor the interests of the Madi son Square theater's bun'ntfw One of our reporters found him in a Pull man car , and secured an interview , which was substantially as follows : "I am going to San Francisco , " said Mr. Blanchott , "In advance of the Now York company , where wo expect to do a handsome business during the season. This will bo my fourth trip to the Pacific coast , and I never have gene with rcoro confidence than I now havo. "You know that Messrs. Gustavand Charles Frohman have leased Bald win's theater , and the first attraction which they will proaont to the San Francisco public will bo n Madison Square company withaMadisou Square Homo company. " ' 'What do you mean by a Homo company. " "I moan. " resumed Mr. Bianchott , "tho Now York theater's stock c m- piny engaged to play only in How York city , and not , as a rule , to travel. It ia for this reason that wo have had considerable trouble with a portion of the members. You see , they expected to play in Now York , where they had leased apartments , and had made their arrangomonln for a long stay. You know how actresses like to fix up their quarters , and , of course , you under- derstand that when a woman gets her glided bird cages properly suspended in the most healthful corner of the room , and secures stabling for her pot dogs duiing the winter , she considers herself happy , and nothing short of earthquakes or a double salary can induce her to leave such ( Dithotio convenience. Consequently this San Francisco scheme of ours completely upsets their plans and the most plausible of managers had to employ his bast arts in persuading them to listen to reason and business. The matter waa finally arranged satisfactorily nnd everybody was induced to undertake a long jour ney to the Pacific coast. You and I know perfectly well that the jonruoy across the plains in a Pullman palace car is delightful recreation , and any actor who has made the trip is glad to make it again , but these 'Eitnerelrla' people in New York could not bu hired to believe it until after o din- penaation of a large amount of olo- quenco. " "I suppose yea prefer to take aNew Now York city company to the Pacific coast ? " ' 'Yes , wo take the regular Now York stock company acroaa the conti nent to give Baldwin's thcatro a first class cast and to produca our plays in every respect na elaborately and as effectively as they were brought out in Now York by the homo manage ment. " "What plays are to bo producud in San Franci&co ? " " 'Esmerelda , ' 'Young Mrs. Win- throp , ' and probably a now play by Fred. Manden , which has been the subject of considerable talk in the newspapers , " "Will your company appear in Omaha ? " "Yes , for ono night on the 8th of January. 'Eimorolda' will be played , and probably we nil ! give you 'Young Mrn. Winthrop' on our return. " " ' ' 'JTsmorolda' was a great success in Now York ; equal to H&zal Kirke , waa it not1' "Oh , yea , 'Esmeroldn1 was the play that run three hundred and titty nights and was drawing immense houses. Wo were forced to take it off to make room for 'Young Mrs. Wintluop , ' according to the contrails with the author Mr , Branson How ard. " "What are the featureo of relda1' "It is a North Carolina play , strength , lies in the beauty of. action and the simplicity of ltn structlen. The opening scones laid at the toot of the famous Bald mountain in Nortlx Carolina. You knowtha lt is the mountain where earthquakoffaro said to have occurred a few years ago , Uhl many of tho.pao- plo declared they saw smoke issue from the top of the mountain. So much was said about it that dispatches appeared in all the papers , and the Now York Herald rent a special cor- repoudont down there to investigate the matter. This beautiful romance of Esmeralda begins in that pictur esque region , and after gaining the profound interest of the audlonce , the BCiMiea are trut sported to Paris , where the simple country girl blooms into a beautiful gAmorlcan woman abroad , and ho > lovar , Dave Hardy , who has the ill will of a cruel and grimping mother , 'also appears as a starving artist. But kind friends see him 'through. ' Some land that ho owns in North Carolina proves immensely valuable. The cirl'o mother loses all her property. DAVO marries the pirl and is made so happy that the audience once applauds to the echo. " " 'Young Mrs. Winthrop' which is also to follow 'Esmeralda' , has also made a great hit in New York. It is an American play founded on a French model , but so entirely original and local that the Now York critics pro- nounca it of the most successful of native plays. Mr , Bronson Howard la now resting OH his laurels in Europe , and his fame is considered secure for alltlrao. " "This play , young Mrs. Winthrop tolls of the trials of a young married eonplo who lost their only child , Tha husband ia a broker end the wife a fashionable young woman of good aensb at heart , but who through jeal ously plunges into the gayeties of fashionable - ionable life and becomes so completely estranged from her husband who is really too devoted to her that after the doatt of the child a friendly lawyer is called in to draw up articles of separa tion ; but when the young wife dis covers that her husband'o buslnees from home was to prevent her brother who hold a confidential position irom being sent to otato prison she eecs how terrible her mistake has been and the play closoa with another reconcil iation androsump'bnof ' thooldlovo " "Will your company go beyond the Focifio coast ? " "I think it will. Negotiations are In Australia now pending with managers tralia to send out a Madison Square Theatre Company intact and produce the plays that received so much favor in this country. There is no doubt that Australia is a great field for the atrical enterprises when j.Uys h ve merit. Human nature is about the same the world over particularly so in Australia , which is composed largely of Eoplish people who appreciate everything of an emotional and domes * tlo nature in the drama notwithstand ing the alleged success of blood curd ling inolo drama in that country.
