ENTERTAINMENTS ,
IHIss Stevens' 1'lnno
At the invitation of several of the most
irominont citi/.ons of Omaha , Bliss
Really Stevens favored a very appreci
ative audience with a piano recital at
Boyd's opera house last evening. Miss
Stovona has received such remarkable
commendations from Liszt , Yon Bulow
and other of Europe's greatest musicians
that it is with much timidity and respect
that wo place our humble tribute by the
side , of theirs.
The programme presented gives every
opportunity of judging the diverse pow
ers required by an artiste , and it is but
just to say that Miss Stovona evinced
that method , feeling , power and tech1
niquo which bespeak great promise for
her future work. The selections were :

In the selections of Part 1 , Miss Slov
ens expressed well the feeling and method
required , but it was in the portion de
voted to Lis/.t that she is more at homo ,
and exhibits her right to bo placed among
the foremost pianists of this country ,
Ilor power and execution in rendering
Lia .t 8 most difficult music being rate ,
especially as displayed in the concerto
und the rhapsodic , and calling forth
hearty appreciation.
Miss Slovens leaves her homo in Coun
cil Bluffs to become a motnbor of the
Theodora Thomas organization , and wo
await with much interest the opportunity
to wolcotno her in the capacity and are
assured of her success beyond a doubt.
Mr. Martin Calm added much to the
recital by his graceful orchestral acconv
pinimciit for second piano in the con
corto.

THE BURLINGTON.
Attitude of the Great Roafl Which Has
Bccd Left Ont in the Cold ,
A Prediction That There IB to bo n
Tjtvoly Slinking Up.
The attention of a very great portidnoi
the railway world is fixed upon the Bur-
ington road , and every movement of its
ollicials is intently watched , in the hope
of detecting some intimation of its proba
) \o \ policy. It was whinporcd on TucS'
day about the Grand Pacific hotel in
Jhicago that Mr. Potter had individually
decided adversely to joining the alliance ,
and that ho would advise his directors
accordingly. A copy of the agreement
was given Mr. Potter Monday evening ,
and during all the evening and ycstor-
lay forenoon ho and the general solicitor
if the road made an exhaustive study of
ts provisions. Mr. Potter is reported
as saying that his road could not consistently
ontly enter the alliance. By remaining
> ut of it , the Burlington people would
ese gross rovcnuo to the amount of
5225,000 , which the Union Pacific would
; ivo thorn at Omaha. To offset this they
vould retain about § 280,000 worth of
Hisincss over their western division ,
which would otherwise go into the pool.
\Vith the line to Denver and the connoc-
ions tlicro with the Denver & Rio
irando , ho thought the Burlington
would bo far bettor oft' without than
vithin the pool.
A gentleman who sustains intimate re-
ations with the Burlington management
aid that if the Burlington did not join
ho now pool there would at once bo in
augurated a war of extermination not
of road , but of individual official. "And
rou may confidently look , " said ho , "for
some important changes within five
roars. The Burlington's effort would bo
o make it so warm for some of them in
an indirect way that their extermination
would bo assured. I am not at liberty
o give any details , nor locate the officials
who are in danger , but if the Burlington
does not go into the alhanco there will bo
some surprising official changes within
ivo months. "
"Do you believe the original three
parties to the compact over purpose J
laving the Burlington with them ! "
"Appearances would indicate that they
did not. They , in the first place , organ-
zed the combination in great secrecy.
They have now completed every detail of
) ho organization bofpro the Burlington
) ooplo have been advised as to the terms
of the agreement. They know the Iowa
iool would expire Jan. 1 , and that the
low pool would begin its existence on
iho sarao day , and yet Mr. Potter did
lot got a copy of the agreement until it
lad gone into effect. They have ap
pointed a commissioner without consult-
ng the Burlington. If it was their
desire that the Burlington should bo as
sociated in harmony with them , they
would hardly have appointed a commis
sioner , presumably not knowing whether
" 10 would bo acceptable or not to theBur-
ington , 'without advising with them.
The appointment of Mr. Vining was a
most unhappy one , for , by it , it would
seem that all hope of an amicable settle
ment had been destroyed. It is an open
secret that the Burlington people are op
posed to Mr. Vining in that capacity for
bwo reasons. They do not like hin | per
sonally , and they do not fancy the idea
of leaving thir business in the hands of
a Union Pacific man , prejudiced directly
in favor of thr Union Pacific. It looks
to mo as if the chances were rather
against the Burlington's joining the now
pool. "

Their Work in the Churchyards Near
This City-Certain Parties Be
coming Uneasy.
The announcement in Wednesday's
BKR that body snatchers were at work
about this city , rather stirred up the na
tives and caused a rattling among the dry
bones. It has boon known for Severn !
days that something unlawful was being
done in tlna city.
A few nights ago a couple of men in
the employ of a well Vnown wholesale
and retail firm of this city , in. the capaci
ty of drivers , wcro on their way homo
about 11 o'clock at night when thoytmo
across n wagon in the middle of the rqa'c
which had been left without a horse or
owner and appeared to have been recent
ly broken down , one of the axles having
parted in the middle. They looked to
BOO what the wugon contained nnd in mak
ing the search they found to their
horror that the first thing their
hands catno in contact wjth was
the feet and logs of some personf. They
did not prosecute their Bearcji much
farther , but satisfied themselves that
there was ono if not two bodies in tbo
wagon , and determined to try and ascer
tain who was hauling this ainguUr kind
of _ freight. They hid themselves in a
neighboring barn to watch proceedings ,
but in some way the "stiiV ! got out of
that wagon and away without being seen
by the two watchers. It may bo that
the angel hosts , of which the souls of
those dead bodies are now undoubtedly
members , came and noiselessly and un
seen bora thorn back to their long
resting placo. It is more likely , however ,
that they yrero taken by strong hands
and placed in another strong wagon and
convoyed to the dissecting table where
young students proceeded to satisfy their
curiosity by hacking thorn to pieces with
the scalpel ,
The expressman in whoso wagon the
ghastly corpses were discovered , is known
and Ro may be able when called upon to
give some hints which vrill oneii the eyes
of the whole community.
At a certain medical college , wo were
informed by ono of the students to-day ,
they are fooling quite uneasy in regard to
the discovery , and are expecting the ar
rival of officers to go through the "she
bann" and she what can bo found.
The last legislature passed a law by
which responsible turgeons or medical
colleges could obtain the bodies of un
claimed paupers , on filing n bond in the
turn oi 8600 with the cuuntry clerk , as
surety that the bodies thus obtained
should bo used
for scientific purposes
only , and in such a manner us to in no
wino offend the public. The arm and log
which wcro floating around the city promiscuously -
miscuously , a fowweoks since , were prob
ably parts of n corpse stolen from a
lonely cemetery.
The matter will bo looked up as
thoroughly as possible , and every precau
tion taken to prevent recurrence of such
a thing. It is to bo regretted that grave
robbing is ot a penitentiary offence -
fence , but it is not , and the fine in such
cases can not exceed StiOO.

A BIG EXPLOSION.
Strange Explosion at tbe Gas forks , of
Which No One Seems to Know ,
Switchmen Knocked off Their Feet ,
HniiKcti Slmkcii andtlio 1'cojilo
In General Almmcil.
On Wednesday night a terrific explo
ion occurred at the gas worksand , a BER
reporter has faithfully endeavored to
ascertain the cause , but'nono of the gas
> ooplo appear to know anything in re
gard to it , evidently having a great de
sire to keep it quiet , for reasons best
cnotfii to themselves.
It is certain , however that a big explo
sion of some kind did take place nt the
above time and place , for switchmen who
were at work in the yards near by the
works , were thrown oil' their feet and
looplo living in that immediate vicinity
nrero greatly startled by _ the shaking of
: heir windows , the rattling of dishesand
in sotno cases , the stoves and steve pipes
"oil down , and several houses narrowly
escaped being burned thereby.
A man ran up Leavenworth street toll
ing all whom ho met that the boilers nt
the Gas works had exploded , and some
people were oven foolish enough to think
that Gabriel had como , and was blowing
Ilia trumpet which shall call the dead to
life.

The gas people were probably experi
menting with the now gas when it wont
off. It is a well known fact that this
hydrogen , or water gas , is of a very ex
plosive nature , and wo would not bo at
nil surprised to wako up some morning
and find the whole bottom blown out of
the south end of Omaha.
