EXTRAVAGANT NEWELL.
He is Short in His Accounts to tin
Amonnt of $4,200 , ,
Mr. J , IV. Svvnln , General Manager o :
the Consolidated Tank Line
Company , Takes I'osscs-
Bloii of the Ofllco.
People in business circles will bo some
ev what surprised to learn that Major Jas
"in S. Newell , manager for the Consolidate !
Tank Line company , at this place , was 01
Friday afternoon , relieved of his du
tics by the general manager of the com
pany , Mr. J. W. Swain.
Upou chocking up the books Saturday i
was found that Mr. Newell was abou
§ 4,200 short in his accounts.
For about two and one half years Mi
Newell has hod control of the company'
business in this place , and during Urn
length of time has enjoyed the entir
confidence of his employers ,
Mr Swain stated Satusday that ill
company had at all times entrusted tli
business of this ofllco to its manager , an
ho had almost constantly had in his poe
session , collaterals and goods , to th
amount of $00,000 to $75,000vhic !
could readily bo turned into cash.
Everything has run along smoothly un
til about Cvo days ago , when the com
pany learned certain facts which lei
them to think that everything was no
perfectly straight in the _ Omaha ofllco
With aView of investigating the affairs a
this oilico Mr. Swain , general manager
caino up from Kaneas City on Thursday
After looking into the matter a little h
found that his surmises were only to
true and that Major Newell was not abl
to account for over $4,000 of the com
r. Newell was simply relieved fror
duty and no legal stops were taken , an
none will bo until something definite i
arrived at in the way of settlement. Mi
A. H , Bishop now has charge of th
oflico , Mr. Swain was going throug !
the books Saturday morning and found thu
the irregularities have extended bao
over a period of two years. Whenovo
Mr. Newell was called upon by the com
pany for a settlement ho would borroi
money from the bank to make his ac
counu good , and the bank account o
the concern in this city is now ovex
drawn to a considerable extent ,
"Air. Swain Bays that Mr. Newell ha
never intimated that his salary was no
largo enough , and that the company Jmi
had every rearou to believe that every
thing was perfectly satisfactory ,
Mr. Newell has always been regardoc
as a thorough gentleman , and the onlj
way that hie shortages can bo occountet
for , is the fact of his having lived von
extravagantly since his advent in thu
city , and was obliged in order to keep uj
appearances to overdraw his account. Oi
account of his mature years , there seomi
to be no excuse for such an act , and hi
O' does not receive the sympathy which oni
' " ' of more youthful age might.
. " Whether Mr , Newell will ho able t <
make good the amount of his shortage ii

Final Answer of the Bnrliniton to
the Western TiM-Linc
Association ,
Ir. Potter Can , Under No Clrcum-
stnnccH , Cunt Ilia 1/ot , with
tlioNow Pool.
Chicago Times , Eth.
The most momentous question with
which the railway world lias had to deal
'or many a day the attitude of the Chi-
o , Burlington A ; Quincy railroad
oward the tripartite pool was settled
ostorday by the absolute refusal of Gon-
ral Manager Potter to afilliato with the
now association. The absent officials
laving arrived , the joint conference was
csumed yesterday at the Grand Pacific
lolol , with a full attendance of the trip *
( irtito general managers. The Burling
ton was represented by its general man
ager. The mooting had boon called to
lioar the final answer of the Burlington
to the invitation to join the now deal ,
and it was given without uuduo
ceremony. Commissioner E. P. Via
ng occupied the chair , mid ,
after stating the object of the mooting ,
Mr. Vining asked the Burlington repre
sentative if ho was ready to make finol
answer regarding the position his road
would assume relative to the Western
Trunk-lino association. Mr. Potter re
plied that ho could not , under existing
circumstances , bccomo a party to the
now agreement.
"Is this your final answer ? " the chair
man asked.
"It is , " replied Mr. Potter , "and under -
dor no circumstances will the decision bo
reconsidered. The Burlington will have
no connection whatever with the West
ern Trunk-lino association. "
Tliis frank and unequivocal declaration
was entirely unexpected , and the deliberations
ations were resolved into a dazed and
painful pauao. Messrs. Cable , Clark ,
Ilughitt , and Vining than hold a hurried
consultation , at the conclusion of which
Mr. Cable took the floor. "Tho old
deal , " said ho , "in very apparently closed
up , and there is no necessity for any
further discussion of that matter. The
association , however , is willing to make
one moro effort to adjust existing differ
ences , and thus avert possible complica
tions which can not bo otherwise than
disastrous to all concerned. Will you
[ addressing Mr. Potter ] enter n pool , the
parties to which shall bo the Burlington
on one aide and the Western Trunk-Lino
association on the other ? "
"I cannot toll , " replied Mr. Porter ,
"whether the Burlington -would make
any such alliance or not. Wo will ro-
'
qu'iro time to consider. "
IIo was asked how much time would
bo necessary , and replied that definite
answer could probably bo made by Janu
ary 17. The conference was accordingly
adjourned until that date.
Should thu proposition bo accepted , it
would involve the organisation of a dis
tinct pool , for which a now commissioner
would bo necessary. It was said yesterday -
day , upon what purported to bo good au
thority , that tholast proposition provided
that the Burlington was to have two-
fifths of the ontirp business of the pee !
and the combination three-fifths. It waste
to include the fjrain , live stock , lumber ,
and salt competitive points , thus exclud
ing all merchandise , both local and com-
. The combination wants the bus-
Eotivo.
less of all portions of the Union Pacific
and the Burlington , where the roads arc
40 miles or loss apart , to bo considered ae
competitive , while the Burlington , it it
understood , will not consider any proposition -
sition making the maximum moro thar
20 miles. Thorp nro several other point !
of moro or less importance , at which tlu
negotiating parties arc at variance , am ]
whoso abridgement will require mutua
concessions , which are not liable to b <
mado.
The roosult of yesterday's ' mooting hai
apparently removed the last vcstigo o ;
hope for averting a war of rates. It it
not reasonable to suppose that an allianct
can bo formed with the tripartite roads ,
an-an association , any moro easily thar
in their capacity as individual corpora
tions. The same requiromonta will be
asked , the same conditions will bo prea
out , and the same obstacles will bo on <
countered. The utmost effort has boon
made this time , with absolute failure at
the result , and it cannot bo expected
that any hotter success will attend the
second effort. From the fact that tlu
association makes such a proposition , il
is evident that the extensive miloagoanc
unquestioned strength of the Burhngtoi
are fully recognized , and also the importance
portanco of conciliating a corporation s <
capable as an independent element o
working serious mischief to the pool in
torcsta. It would Boem that the Burling
ton is in a comparatively indopondon
position , and , should it decide to maki
any arrangement , can virtually dictati
its own terms.
A IIIO TJIINO irOH TUB UNION PACIFIC.
In accordance with the provisions o
the agreements of the notv western trtinl
line association , the billing of througl
freight from Chicago to points west o
the Missouri , and from the vest to Chi
c go , began Friday. All throw ; ]
freight is now forwarded without transfoi
at Council Bluffs or Omaha. This ap
plies to carload freight coming from 01
destined to points on the Chicago , Milwaukee
waukoo & St. Paul , the Chicago
Northwestern , the Chicago it Rod
Island , and Wabasli railways. The uov\
arrangement virtually abolishes tlu
transfer on the east side
of the river , and the freight
handling force has been reduced from
fifteen to two gangs. It is claimed thai
it is a big thing for the Union Pacific.
As to the Burlington's attitude , a well-
know railroad man says that the Union
Pacific really does not want the Burling ,
ton in the now pool , but that the Bur
lington will bo hustling around to got in ,
all the same , by the lth of the month ,

Quarter of 1H : i , by Mrs.ll. U.
Fuller.
"Whon in the course of human events
t becomes necessary" bognn n certain
renowned manuscript n century ago ) and
luring my five years of work hero among
, ho poor it ha < 5 doomed to mo that in the
courao of human events uad human
events it Itad become absolutely nccos-
lary that nome shelter should bo provided
'or our houseless , homeless ones ; and
the last quarter of my fifth year has been
marked by such a provision , or at least
by ita germ. No ono has more reason to
appreciate and bo thankful for this than I.
Work in connection with it has taken
many hours of my time in the last month
or two , and all the time ha * boon crowd
ed , except when sickness has rendered
labor impossible. Have made fewer
calls than usual , but have received moro.
The winter has boon very favorable for
the poor , and yet in the few cold days
there han boon n good deal of call for
clothing. Two hundred and thirty gar
ments have been distributed , thanks to
the many donors. Besides much second
hand clothing , I have received fifty now
garments from the Irvington society dur
ing the year , n nice package rif clothing ,
provisions and toys as a Christmas offer
ing from the First M. E. Sunday school ,
twenty dollars from the Congregational
Sunday school , thrco dollars from a pris
oner in our state penitentiary , six dollars
in groceries from .Mrs , S. II. Clark , Hour
and other provisions from Mrs. J. T.
Millard. Other donations going into the
Homo rooms will bo acknowledged by
the secretary of the Woman's Christian
Aid association.
Ono can not know how much these
gifts mean to the recipient , unless they
go into some of the homes. In ono rough ,
open sh'anty , in n room about 12 by 14
foot , I find a man nick upon a wretched
looking bed , and a baby with him. - The
mother stands with another in her arms
and a little boy at her side , by an old ,
broken cook stove , intended for wood ,
but in which they have endeavored to
build a lire of Iowa coal , and succeeded
only in making a smoke the ono thing
of which they Buoin to have an abun
dance. A little old table , ono chair and
a stool about complete the furnituru of
the room. Against ono side of this , a little
tlo cripplodboyis leaning in a weary way.
I like to tempt him to smile. , and it comes
easily , but vanishes almost instantly , and
the face resumes again its habitual tired ,
pained expression , which telta of long
days and nights of sullbring , through
which ho has learned quiet if not pa
tient endurance. Ono other child , a
girl of twelve , seems to have monopolized
all the vitality and energy of the family ;
and I wonder how they could have lived
without her this winter. Yet she ought
to bo in school , as a few weeksor possibly
months are all she has over spoilt there.
This housohould has boon for days with
nothing to cat but broad and coffee ,
sometimes only water and bread , and not
enough even of that. They , especially
the sick boy , lias boon gladdened by
Christmas gifts , food , clothing , toys and
some now dimes. The father is not a
drinking man , not a bad man , but now
ho has been down near to the grave , and
looking beyond it , fools that ho has not
only failed to make his earthly homo
what it should bo.but failed to secure a bet
ter ono on the other side ; and like most of
us lip begins the now year with good res
olutions , which the future must try.
This is only ono case out of hundreds.
In a little room in a crowded tenant
house a man and his children were Bleep
ing , I was told , for I did not see thorn ,
with only ono blanket under and another
over them. And a woman and her
children slept , if they could sloop , with
only a gunny sack under them until af tor
cold weather.
Thanks are duo to the county com
missioners for several tons of coal and
several passes , sending people to their
friends.
There have been as yet but two occu
pants of our homo rooms. A woman
with a baby in her arms was
brought to mo by an oflicor Saturday
night. Happily she was not deserted as
wo feared. The second day her husband
came for her. She remained hnro how
ever , until ho got his first week's wages ,
and then ho took her away.
Two Uttlo ones sent during the year to
foster homes , have boon called by the
Good All Father to the homo above.
Several women and children have gone
down to the Lincoln homo. I believe
every child I have sent there lias been
the child of either an intemperate father
or mother , and every woman has been
either a deserted wife or a seduced , de
serted girl. Is there no law which can
roach the men who sent these women
thoro. If not , how long will good , true
men permit it so to bo. "How long ;
Ohl Lord , how long , " Lot us not by
our indifference ,
"Mnko it Ho of faith ,
And blasphemy of prayer , "
if this old story of sin and suilbring must
go on , while wo sine our Christinas gongs

Discarded Ijovcrs.
The tenth annual banquet of the state
bachelors' association was hold at Fremont -
mont , Now Year's night. It was the
most extinguished looking gang of unmated -
mated mortals that over tucked a napkin
under the chin. The paucity of top
knots was particularly noticeable , and a
liberal supply of champagne , claret , port
wino , brandy , rye and bourbon whiskies ,
nlo and porter was necessary to dispel the
funereal gloom that ilittod phantom-liko
through the banquet hall. It is claimed
by the historian of the event , Mr.
Smails , the lonoaomo editor of The Fre
mont Herald , that sixty members were
present at the roll-call , but , with wis
dom worthy of a bettor caubO , the roll
was called before any member was per
mitted to take of the viands so lavishly
provided. The hall was elaborately
decorated for the occasion , with appro
priate mottoes adorning the walls , among
which were the following :
"There's no motion that tonils to vice In man ,
but I all'mn it is the Woman's part. "
' 'All faults that may bo named , nay , that hell
knows , are Her's in part , or all. "
- Shakespeare's Cymbollno.
"Bolter abide on a housetop than llvo with n

"There are two periods when n man marries
when too young to have sense , and when
so old helms lost it. "
"Unmarried men are the best friends , best
masters , best servants. "

"Ho's mad that truifa to the tnmcness of n
wolf , nhorao's health , n hoy's love , or a
woman's oath , "
President May , of the association , ad
dressed the withered veterans , and laid
laid dawn stringent rules fortho guidance
of the members during the trying days
and nights of leap year. Ho recom
mended that a special session of the leg
islature bo called to pass a law compelling
all railroads to carry with each paasongor
train a nursery car for the special accom
modation of families with children , so
that pleasure tourists , who are not
brought up under such surroundings ,
Hhall not bo perpetually annoyed and
wished they had stayed at homo. A
sentiment which mot the approval of all
present was that rolling skating rinks and
leap year parties were in vogue for the
solo purpose of alluring members [ ifrom
the ranks , but will not avail with those
who prefer u "free , unhoused condition
to the world's worth.1
A cheering letter was read from Samuel
J. Tildon , addressed "to my beloved
brethren of Nebraska , " 'exhorting them
to "hold up the banner and maintain the
faith , who over falls by the wayside. 'Tis
better to have won and lost than over to
have loved at all ! Avoid the electoral
commission of matrimony , in which the
chances are always 8 to 7 against you. A
house divided against itself cannot stand
avoid the danger by remaining free.
Liberty and independence , ono and forever -
ever ! "
A telegram was read from Tom Ochil-
tree , the famous liar of Texas , advising
them to "bowaro of a statesman who
looks at things through his wife's oyci. "
J. W. McLiughlin , of Wiener , tele
graphed that ho had been entrapped by a
curloy-hoadod spinster for a dance , and
sent a draft for § 200 to pay his lino.
Will Hull or , of Blair , telegraphed this
sentiment , "In the race for matrimony ,
girls , it is nut the most laps that win. "
Lot Brown , of Nebraska City , chimed
a column in length on "Marriage. " Strik
ing a Muchothian attitude , with his right
palm extended coilingward , ho exclaimed :
"Marriage , Sir , is the corner-stone of
all evil , the fountain-hoad of much misery ,
and Buffering , like a mis-placed beacon
light , which lures the unwary mariner
onto dcstiuction , it beguiles its devotees
with falsa blandishments and wrecks the
bright lives , hopes and pleasures of these
who otherwise would have led a lifo of
case and contentment in single blessed
ness like your honored self and associ
ates. "
Then Mr. Brown paused for applause.
Several members wiped away the fast
gathering tears , aa they thought of the
fate they had escaped and the time when
they measured their lengths on mother's
lap with a broad-soled slipper brandished
overhead.
"Misery loves company , " said Mr.
Brflwn , "and like the cunning old fox
who lost his tail in the trap and advised
all his follow-fox-matos to try it on and
see how nice it was , just so these miser
ably distressed benedicts would have us
believe it's jolly fun to sit up or stand up
or walk up all night with a beautiful
cherub afilictcd with a three-months'
coliol or who doinif penance in an hun
dred other ways , endeavor to convoy to
us the impression that marriage is the
boss panacea for all 'tho ills that flesh is
heir to , ' and a few extra little ills thrown
inl"
inl"Hon.
Hon. John D. Howe , of Omaha , doliv-
orcd himself of a chapter on "Old
Maids. " Ho said there was an affinity
between bachelors and old maids chat a
Manitoba blizzard could not chill. "Old
maids are popularly described ns grim
visagedand picklo-toinperod.and addicted
to the companionship of cats , andall _ that
is reproachful , because of their good
sense and notboint ? light-hcadod to attract
the giddy butterflies who go into matri
mony as though they were buying n lot
tery ticket warranted to draw the first
prize. No cause is worth anything unless
it is worth a sacrifice. Wo know how it
is ourselves. Bless the old maicjsl Wo
know thorn as ministering angels , and the
world would bo better for moro of thorn.
Ono of our noted novelists has drawn my
ideal of a woman in the diameter of Rose
Morgan sweet dispositionnd , confiding ,
and forgetful of self in tor efforts to ennoble -
noble humanity. Such n woman in real
lifo might make mo forgot the vows of
bachelorhood. But why sock the unat
tainable ? " '
The last sentiment was a stunner to
the assembly , and Mr. Howe sat down
and wept.
Hon. Charles II. Brown , of Omaha ,
was next called upon to respond to the
toast , "Tho Gentler Sex. " Mr. Brown
embraced the most salient points of his
subject with the vigor of a master.
"Thoro ii a woman pt the bottom of it.

A few moro addresses were made before
fore the members became too hilarious to
listen , followed by adjournment. The
members pledged eternal fealty to each
other and loft scores of empty bottles ,

The German Lutheran School.
To the Editor o ! The Ben
Amidst the attraction the Gorman-
American school has created by means of
its formal opening , by various descrip
tions of the building , by the distribution
of placards , by various allurements , con
trived to meet the deficiency in the
Bchool fund , etc. . the German Lutheran
school has been lost sight of by a good
many. This , however , it does not deserve -
servo , for it is to bo credited with some
marked improvements.
Formerly situated on Jackson , between
Eleventh and Twelfth streets , it was re
moved to Twentieth and Mason
streets four months ago. The
selection of this site betrays a
calculating mind on the part of those in
trusted with this important duty. The
school is located in a district , destined to
bo settled chiefly by German people , with
in reach of children living in the heart of
the city , yet out of the reach of towering
smokestacks and the deafening noise of
manufactories. To the opposite of the
school the oycs of the pupils behold a
beautiful grovo. From early in the spring
till late in the fall the grove affords all
scholars a play ground of ample size , in
citing the rudy youth to gymnastical ox-
crcisco and bidding the quiet girl a wel
come resort. ' Hitherto the cturch build
ing served the purpose of a school room ,
but the energetic members of the Luth
eran congregation , who are lovers of the
school , have not rested before they could
claim two now school rooms their own.
These are furnished with desks of the
latest improvements , the ceilings ore high
and the ventilation appropriate. More
over , the school is conducted by a teacher
who has graduated in the seminary of the
synods of Missouri , Ohio , and other states
an institution for the solo and thorough
education of teachers , The teacher devotes -
votes his time to and exerts his powers in
the instruction and training of his schol
ars. Parents who take interest in our
school will find their cares greatly reward
ed by intrusting their children to hia
care. The services of the schoolmaain
who has hitherto aided the minister in
the instruction of the children has been
retained. The pupil is instructed in all
the branches of elementary science taught
in public schools. Daily ono hour is de
voted to the study of the English language.
The lessons in geography , arithmetic and
drawing are also taught in + ho English
tongue. Religion is taught in accordance
with Diyino Scripluro. That the word
of God is the most proper means of well
breeding is an historic fact ; to main
tain that a religious lesson profitoth the
mind nothing is ludicrous , a catechetical
lecture is as edifying as an exercise in
mental arithmetic. As regards tuition ,
and it is certainly an important factor ,
that is very reasonable , comparatively
low. Ono pupil is charged § 1.00 per
month , two children of the same family
pay $1.50 , and thrco or moro children of
ono family pay $2.00 per month. This
for suuh as have entertained any doubts
about our school in any respect.
