The question now arises , what is there
about the city of Omaha thnt suggests
peace and safety from nil the oflicors ol
the law , nud why is it that people hnvo
nil idea thnt nn Omaha justice will marry
anybody , no mnttor what ngo , color or
nati/ity.
There auoma to bo a prevailing manin
among the evil doors of Iowa to slip uvor
into Omaha , where they nro invariably
captured and taken back from whence
they camo. Now the lown craze has
extended to the city of Denver , where n
more baby of thirteen summers , who had
obtained the consent of her mamma to
wed with n man of thirty-two year/ / ) .
From the Denver News of recent data
is gleaned the following :
"When a woman wants to marry she
wnnts to marry bad , and she generally
does marry. There nro instances of
where Rirls just entering their teens
adopt the idea , and nil the persuasive
eloquence of parents falls by the wayside ,
and they nro compelled to yield to the
desires of the daughter. Just such n
case ns the latter fell under the observa
tion of n News reporter lost evening.
On Wednesday evening there regis
tered , nt the Vnshington house D. S.
Hastings nnd wife , Miss Nellie Hodges
nnd Mr. George Fisher , nil of Idaho
Springs. Miss Hodges is the daughter
of Mrs. Hustings by n former marriage.
She is n pronounced brunette , with large ,
black , piercing eyes , nnd a rosy , ruddy
face. In stature she is rather petite ,
nnd would readily pass for n girl of 10 ,
but is , according to the mother's state
ment , 13 years of ago. She is the hero
ine , oven if she is a girl. The hero is
Mr. George Fisher. Ho is a utulwart
nort of n man , is 32 years of ago , nnd ap
parently well to do , but is not of n very
prepossessing appearance.
Nothing of an extraordinary nature
about the parties developed itself until
yesterday afternoon. Then it became
known that Fisher and the girl were
bent on getting married , and he nnd
Hastings went out and returned about 5
o'clock with the necessary marriage cer
tificate. Thou a carriage was called and
the party wont out to seek a justice of
the peace. They went to Justice Jeffries'
residence and presented themselves bo-
fpro the local ermine to bo united. At
times Justice Jeffries is inclined to bo
humane , nnd instances are on record
where tears have saved a vag from a
tprtn in the county jail. Ho read the
license , which said the girl was 18 years
of ago. Ho scanned her closely and
compared her with her mother who
would knock the beam nt 200. A series
of questions followed when the mother
finally confessed that her Nellie was but
l.'J years old , but she had her consent to
marry. The justice refused to perform
the ceremony , and then followed a se
ries of wails nnd weeps. Nellie clung
frantically to George as if her heart
would break , and called him her dour
George , nnd ho took her to his massive
bosom mill pnod ) ] her 'little pot. " Mr.
and Mru. HoBtinj wop : co-
"l 'y ' Mid would not To com-
ortcd. Everybody wept but the feel-
nglcss justice. This state of aflairs
astcd about five minutes , Finally Nol-
io tore herself away from the bosom of
lor dear George. She looked at the jus-
Ice , her eyes flashing u fire that would
mvo been scorching to anybodj but a
ruol justice. She pleaded with him to
> erform the ceremony , and thus make
icr ono of the happiest woman in the
world. The justice waa immovable. Ho
was deaf to the pleadings , and tears , and
mtroatios of the little woman. Ho had
icon caught once or twice for doing just
-vhat - those people wanted him to do , and
md resolved to never again bo a party to
such a transaction.
Finding that nho could as cosily move
the corner atone of the city hall buildings
\s to move the justice , Nellie became
urious. She stamped on the floor with
icr little foot , and climaxed the enter
tainment by saying : "Mr. Justice ,
[ will be marricdl Yes , bir ,
L will be married tonight ,
f I have to go to Omaha. " The party
: hnn took to their carriages , nnd wont
out in quest of some one empowered to
lorform the marital ceremony , vrho
would not allow a few yearn" shortage to
stand in the way of a girl's happiness.
At 10 o'clock last night the party was
itill OH the search , having failed utterly
in getting their hearts cemented through
a duo process of law , and may bo com
pelled to return to their home-in Idaho
Springs without having accomplished
.heir soul's desires. "

keys in existence that will unlock his
lafo , and the safe can only bo unlocked
by the joint action of the renter and the
vault-keeper. The locks" to these safes
are all different and are changed with
uvory change of the renter. Each safe

mediately Skipped the Town.
Wm. Snell , the man through whoso
gross carelessness Jessie Sncll came to
her death at the "road house" last Satur
day night , has skipped the town.
The body of his victim has been lyin ( ,
at Drexel & Maul's undertaking rooms
ever since the shooting. Every day a
largo number of sporting women havn
visited the place , and every day they
hnvo volunteered to pay the expense of a
decent burial and buy for the unfortu
nate woman a grave in other grounds
than the Potter's field.
Snoll know of this , but while ho was
behind the bars ho refused to listen to
any such proposition , and stated that in
a few hours ho would bo at liberty and
would , himself , provide the means by
which the victim of his recklessness
should bo properly and decently interred.
So at his request the bedy of the dead
woman has boon kept to await his orders.
Yesterday parties came down from
Valentino and yesterday noon they wont
upon his ( Snell's ) bond and ho was re
leased from custody. Did ho at once
hasten to the place whore his former
mistress lay cold and stiff in death , and
there do the least that any human being
could do , provide for her burial ? No ,
ho quietly slipped down to the depot and
took the noon train west , leaving behind
liim many a curse.
A ireat ; many people who had seen
Snoll at the inquest Monday afternoon
had been tempted to sympathize with
liim. He really did look badly and his
ifl'ccted grief had a good effect. But
liow changed the feelings ot the com
munity toward him. Ho has acted the
partof _ the sneak and the coward.
His pretended desire to provide for
Jessie Snoll a suitable burial , was only a
ruse to work upnn the feelings of the
immunity that ho. might more easily es-
: ape from jail. The probabilities now
irp that no more will bo seen of him.
Eis bond will bo forfeited , and ho will
return to the wild west , there to take an-
jthor mistress , and in his drunken mo
ments shoot from her slippers the heels ,
ind snuff the candle in his moro playful
moments. One thing is certain , Omaha
lias no earthly use for such men as Snell
uid the farther they keep away the bet
ter it will bo for this place , and possibly
for thorn likewise.

-ARICH HARVEST.
The Ice Croj Now Being Gutted for
Next Summer's ' Use.
An Ax my of Men at Work on the Min-
bonri , CtiUIiif ; nntl Harvesting
the Beautiful ChryMal.
For a week past , over five hundiec
men have been busily at work on the sur
face of the Missouri river , cutting and
housing the annual harvest of ice. They
have been employed by various parties ,
all of whom firmly believe in iho facl
that ' 'no man can gather cherries at the
season of Chriatmas , " or 1C inch ice in
the middle of August. The time of the
ito-harvost , unlike that ofhuman , souls ,
is governed by the caprices of the wea
ther. .
Upon the nvor there is every appear
ance of winter , and it is a pleasing sight
to stand and .watch the little army of
men as they move to and fro , and al-
thuugh they have but a few days practice -
tico each year , yet everything moves like
clockwork , under the watchful eye of an
experienced foreman.
There men are j > aid upon an average
of $1.50 cents per day. Very few of
them stay n > ere than a day or tww , and
nuv- men are constantly being sot at
work.
About 1,000 tons of ice is taken from
the river , and placed in the various
houses in an about the city , daily. The
cost of housing this ice is from 73 to 75
cents per ton.
There has never been a time whcn ho
ice was better than now. It is clear aS
crystal , without any snow or shell ice
on top , and is from sixteen to eighteen
inches in thickness , The cakes are
about 20x30 inches in sire.
The scene in the field where the mark
ing , plowing , aud cutting is done is ex
tremely interesting. The marker goes
over the field first , taking in several
acres at a time , and croaa-marks the ice
as a fanner would his cornfield. The
marker does his work with the accuracy
of an architect , so far as human eye can
discern. He is followed by a six-inch
ice-plow , drawn by two horses. The
0-inch plow is followed by another , which
cuts to the depth of 8 inches , and tliat
uy still another which goes to a depth of
18 inches. Then the men with corking
bara , saws , and splitting bars , divide the
field into sections , and the towing begins.
About 150,000 tons of the chrystal
stutr will bo nut up in this city this sea
son , and as thpro will bo oloso competi
tion among ice dealers next uuimnr ,
the consumer may fancy to himself that
ho is already being supplied with the
prettiest ice ever harvested in Omaha ,
and t a very small expense.
At the mooting called for the election
of oJhcers of the Woman's Christian tem
perance union , the following ladies were
elected : Mrs. 0. B. Bouel , president ;
Mrs. J M. Cain , first vice-president ,
and other ladies representing the different -
ont churches ; Mrs. L. G. oFiarlton , eoc-
rotary ; Mrs. G. W. Eastman , treasurer.
Iho meeting was well attended and very
iuurmonious.

LOCATING THE FAllI.
Three state fair propositions were sub
mitted to the board yesterday one from
the Omaha Driving Park association , one
from Grand Island , and ono from Lin
coln. XhjQ Omaha Driving Park associa
tion , signOQ by J. E. Boyd , president ,
was to give the grounds for five years ,
the state board to huep grounds and
buildings in repair , and pa tonjcr cent
out of . the fair receipts for
the use of grounds and build
ings. The board concluded it could not
consider any such proposition , as it would
cost at least 83,000 a year to repair the
grounds and buildings. Even the best
friends of Omaha could not vote for it. '
Grand Island's proposition was not
considered. - ,
Lincoln proposed to give bonds in the
sum of SPO.OOO , and erect buildings
equal to Uioso of Omaha and donate tho.
use of them for five years , everything to
bo arranged as desired by the board.
They pledged § 20,000 to carry out their
proposition , and more if necessary.
Finally it was concluded to locate the
fair at Omaha for one year more at least ,
and postpone the question of the fivo-
year location until 1885. A resolution
to this effect was almost unanimously
adopted. The board , in thus locating
the fair at Omaha , took advantage of the
fact that it had the privilege of the
grounds for another year upon the same
terms aa last year.

A Bi Hnnquct anil bultublo
A meeting of Pioneer Council No. 118 ,
of the Royal Arcanum society , was held
Tuesday for the purpoHo of being in
structed in the new work which went
into operation January 1st. This work ,
which waa exemplified in the presence of
some fifty members , was superintended
by Hon. H. E. AV. Campbell , representative -
resentativo of the supreme regent
of the Royal Arcanum , who was
visiting the city. Air. Camp
boll is regarded as ono of
the most prominent men connected with
this young but flourishing organization
and devotes his time exclusively to or
ganizing councils , and looking after the
interest * of the orderjgenerally. lie has

Union and has everywhere ) luot with sig
nal success. After the business of the
council , which included the initiation of
two now members , hud been diiposed of
they adjourned to Campbells res
taurant on Douglas street , where
a very elegant banquet was
laid out. The banquet was got up
in honor of Mr. Campbell's visit.aUhough
the members had very little time for
preparation , the utl'air may truthfully be
included among the most brilliant that
iiavo taken place in the Gate City this
season. The menu comprised all the
delicacies and luxuries procurable , and
> reaonted a sight that would havu glad-
lencd the eyes of the most fastidious epi
cure ,
Regent W , J. Kennedy , of Pioneer
Council 118 , presided , and among the
quests from abroad we noticed : Messrs.

TruliiH No. It nml No. 12 Collide n
Full Speed East of Slclncj.
On Monday night an accident occurrec
on the Union Pacific railroad , east o
Sidney. Two engines collided , and one
of them with seven cars was thrown from
the track. A BEK reporter loarnei
the collision was between trains No
12 and No. 11 ; that they had collided
east of Sidney , somewhere , and that there
had been a wreck. This was confirmee
by after reports which came through a
more reliable source than conjecture , anc
it was also learned that in addition to
seven cars of No. 11 being wrecked , both
engines of the colliding trains wore badly
demoralized , and the head brakeman on
No 11 , Vernon , had his leg broknn. The
track was clear for the west bound pas
senger , so no delay of other than frcighl
travel occurred. The loss to the company
is probably about § 20,000.
