THE NEW DEAL , TliG Burlington Begins to Rnn Through Gars Between Omaha and Chicago To-morrow , It Fight Its Own BnttlcH nnclWIII Not Go Into the Now I'ool , Andy Borden , the Burlington ticket agent , at the northeast corner of Farnam and Thirteenth streets , last evening re ceived a circular notice from headquar ters , stating that commencing on Sunday , January ( ith , the Kansas City express train , leaving the JJ. it M. depot at 8:41) : ) a , m. , central time , nnd 8:25 : a. m. , Omaha time , will have attached to it a through daily passenger coach for Chicago cage , via Pacific Junction and the Chicago cage , Burlington & Quincy railway. This now arrangement will tivo ? passen gers several advantages. They can leave Omaha nearly one hour later than is now required by crossing the Union Pa cific bridge to the transfer. This makes the Burlington the only line carrying passengers between Omaha and Chicago without change of cars , ano baggage will bo chocked through from Omaha to des tination. This is the entering wedge towards bringing all the Iowa trains into Omaha. It is an indication that the Burlington docs not propose to enter the now pool , but to fight itn own battle and become nn independent line , It is safe to say that its next move will bo to bring its Chicago trains intact into Omaha , via Pacific Junction nnd Plattsmouth. Now that the Burlington has taken the initial stop in this direction it deserves and no doubt will receive the patronage of Omaha pcaplo generally and of all who are opposed to the pooling system. The Burlington deserves credit for having brought over its Kansas City express train into Omaha , and now that it fol lows this stop with a through car to Chicago from this side of the river it is entitled to still moro credit. Since the above was written it has boon learned through the dispatches that the Burling ton positively refuses to enter the Union Pacific pool on the conditions offered , and it is now proposed to form an antiUnion - Union Pacific pool with the Burlington system and other roads. In speaking of the Union Pacific west ern trunk line combination Tno Chicago Tribune Bays : "Tho combination was formed for the principal purpose of preventing the Bur lington from continuing to enjoy the ad vantages it has heretofore had on account of its extensive system of roads in Ne braska. The Burlington cannot give up these advantages without crippling itself and playing into the hands of the Union Pacific. The now agreement , ns hereto fore shown , greatly favors the Unicn Pa cific , and enables it to make n most oflbo- tivo war against the Burlington road and its alloy , the Denver & Rio Grande , in case a fight should result. The confeder ates of the Union Pacific east of the Mis souri river can have no benefit from the now deal unless the Burlington joins them and agrees to give them a share of its Nebraska business. For this reason they will make a most determined effort to force the Burlington into their com bination. Should the Burlington bo able to hold out they will find themselves worse off than they were heretofore , but they seem to fool confident of their suc cess in forcing the Burlington to terms in the end , and they claim to have no fear of the outcome of n war should ono bo inaugurated. The indications are that the Burlington will ask further time for consideration , and that it will bo granted. As it was agreed at the last meeting to maintain rates until Fob. 1 , there is no necessity of settling the matter before that time , as n war on rates cannot bo inaugurated until than. Some additional facts regarding the 'terms granted the Northwestern , Wnbash , and Missouri Pacific for coming into the combination has come to light. The Northwestern , Wabash , Rock Island , and Milwaukee & St. Poul share the through business from the Union Pacific equally. Of the Omaha and Council Blulij business proper , the Missouri Pacific goto 8 per cent nnd the St. Paul & Omaha 5 per cent , but they got none of the through business. In case of a misunderstanding botwoonjjtlio roads , the matter is to bo submitted to arbitration , each road delecting ono arbitrator. Should the arbitrators bo unable to ngroo , or their decision bo unsatisfactory , the matter is to bo referred to the United States court for n decision. Thousands Say So. Mr. T. W.

' A Horse Thief Drives Off a Horse , But Is Pursued and Made to Abandon It. Yesterday a young man who resides north of Florence came down to the city on business , and on his way back stopped to call on a friend on Bhormim avenue. While ho was in the house some mis creant , whom oren the cold weather could not keep in the house , stele the team , buggy and buflalo robes. Ho was lioard to drive away , and the owner rushed out juat in lime to see his rapidly receding rig. Luckily for him another man came along just at that moment with a rig , and the circumstances being explained to him , ho took in the man who had been robbed and they gave chase. Boint ; bettor acquainted with the road than the robber , they vrero over hauling him in good slmpo , when , just above the fair ground , ho jumped out and ran down the hill that loads to the old "fair siding , " Ho was allowed to go , as the night was too cold to follow him , and ho stood a chance to freeze to death for his dncd. The property was all ro- ceverod and was in good slmpo. The young man was so rejoiced at re covering his outfit that ho made no com plaint at police headquartersconsequent ly his name is unknown. Had ho boon armed with a good shot gun and filled the would-bo thief with buckshot , lie would have been entitled to a pension as long as ho livpa.

Fonr Fortunate Escapes , The Coldest Day of the Vcnr Out the Department Twice Tlio residence of Mnx Meyer , on Copt tel nvonuo , ncnr the High school , had n narrow escape from fire lost evening about five o'clock. It Booms that when Mrs Meyer lit the gas in the drawing room she throw down the lighted match into a cuspidor , and it sot fire to the drnporyof the mantle-piece. A telephone message was sent to Max Meyer , and also to engine house No. ! ) . A hose cart was soon on its way to Mr. Meyer's resi dence. Meantime Mrs. Meyer had ob tained a blanket , and with some assist ance and n few buckets of water she suc ceeded in extinguishing the tiro. It was , however , a very close call. Mrs. Meyer certainly deserves n great deal of credit for her presence of mini. SECOND ONE. At about six o'clock last evening smoke WAS discovered coming from under the sidewalk on the south side of Hubor- mann's jewelry store , corner of Douglas and Thirteenth street. The planking was torn up nnd a slight fire , which had started by means of a defective Hue , was extinguished with a few pails of wator. The damage was very slight and no alarm was sent out. A Tinni ) . At 0:50 : last night an alarm from box 42 , corner of Douglas and Thirteenth streets called out the department for a second time yesterday. The fire was located in ( or rather outside ) of the third house on the north aide ot Dodge street , cast of Twelfth , and occupied by a woman named Nettie Roach and her daughter. On arrival at the spot the blaze was soon lighting up the whole street , but it proceeded from a muss of burning bed ding and furniture , which had been thrown out of the house by passers-by , at an early stage of the lire. The tire caught from an overheated stove , which stood in close proximity to the bed , while the woman was out. No water was turned on , and the damngo , though small , yet loaves the woman without any bed or bedding.THE THE FOULTH. The fourth conflagration was averted in just the right time by Oilicer Motz'or. It was two houses from the Roach con flagration , and the occupants had locked up the house , probably to attend the neighboring firo.

FROZEN FANCIES , Frozen Thoughts ami Frigid Fads , The Clhnax of "Winter's Icy Urnsp Upon Ue , nnd Conl Eleven Dollars Per Ton , Yesterday was the coldest day in the annaln of Omaha history , according to Joe Tcohan. It was so cold that nbout one-half of our inhabitants took their thermometers inside , fearing the cold would destroy them. Wo have lived in countries , where in winter it was a morning duty to blast the frost out of the chimneys bofor a draft to the fire could bo established , but wo have never before scon a day in Omaha when it was so cold that everybody spoke the truth. Everybody yesterday said it was cold. Night before last at 9 p. m. the ther mometer registecod 0 ° below zero , at 11 p. in. it was 13 * below , yesterday morn ing 17 ° below , at 2 p. in. it was 10' , at 4 it was 23 ° , at 7 p. m. 28J ° , ana st 11 last night it was 31 ° below at Max Meyer's store on Farnam street. The forsaken appearance of the streets all day yesterday betokened the fact that this cold \yavo was exerting a stay-at- home fooling in the breast of the most hardy. Those who were compelled by dire necessity tj brayo the chilling blasts which hurtled around the corners and came so steadily from the north , rushed along with bent head and hurried stop , as if afraid of a recognition , nnd a possible stop. How on earth the car-drivers over lived through a trip will probably never bo satisfactorily accounted for. Horses that were compelled to stand with hacks , waiting for a faro , shivered as with an ague , though in most instances covered by ono or moro heavy blankets. Policemen , on their various beats , swung their arms about their bodies in such nn energetic manner as to seriously threaten their well being , wishing all the time , no doubt , that they were in the moro con genial atmosphere of some saloon. The frosty air lent to the locomotive and shop whistles an ashmatic tone , deleting - loting , in a marked degree , their dislike - like to the extreme cold. The windows of the shops and stores were entirely obscured by nn icy pall , which completely shut out all view from the inside or out. The plumbers' harvest had settled o'er the town and the demands and entreaties for his services , at any cost , gave an opportunity to which this autocrat , for a time , did not fail to respond. And right hero lot us ask , how many hydrants in this city would bo serviceable at a mo ment's notice , this weather 1 Do wo not run great risks in case of a fire ? People cannot fail to appreciate the fact that extreme caution should prevail in this regard. The only men who were cheerful faces were the coal dealers and ice men , and in direct ratio , inversely , as the mercu rial column descended , their spirits rose. Visionary calculations of additional sales of dusky diamonds gradually merged into a dream of a visit to the watering places next summer , or of an elegant villa in Shinn's addition , surrounded by nil that the wealth brought by the Hand of Winter - tor can purchase. Without doubt many poor people feel this remarkable change keenly , and suf fer accordingly , but it ia nn "ill wind that blows nobody good , " and this stress of weather will undoubtedly provide many a worthy man with work long sought. FAILUEE , Assignment Yesterday of Iliclitcr tlio Ftn-rler in Favor of His Cred itors. Yesterday afternoon , H. 0.

The inability of the reporters to see Mr. Richter ia duo to the fact that his wife yesterday morning presented him with a magnificent specimen of humanity in the shape of a baby boy. OIIEAl' SALE.
