AspecialtratnovorthoB.&M. yesterday
morning brought to thia city Mr. 0. B ,
'orkina ' , pusidont , Mr. F. J. Potter ,
general manager , and Mr. W. J. Davenport -
port , division pasaongor agent of the 0. ,
1. & Q. railroad.
They remained in thia city until yo ler-
day afternoon , during which time they
word at the J ) . & M. headquarters.
A BKK reporter called at the head-
and waa informed that the visit meal t
nothing , and that they wore simply going
vor the lines as they do once or twice a
oar.
oar.At the Union Pacific headquarters , the
announcement that the "Q" officials
were in the city , created quite a little
Hurry of oxcitomontand the various heads
wont together in a mysterious manner.
The party , accompanied' by 0. W. Hoi-
drcgo , nsais ant general manager of the
B. & M. , loft for Denver nt 2 o'clock yes-
rdiy Afternoon.
The GhiCAgo Times of the 28th says
that General Managers Potter , Cixbloand
Merrill , of the Burlington , Hock Island ,
and St. Paul , respectively , and Assistant
General Manager Kimball , of the Union
Pacific , agreed Friday night upon a basis
of aottlomont , as far as their Jurisdiction
extended , has been proven beyond the
possibility of question. The terms now
only await ratification by President Per-
ki B of the Burlington , General Manager
Clark of the Union Pacific , and the direc
tors f the St. Paul und Itocl ; Island. It
has boon officially announced that the
Burlington directors agreed to leave the
matter entirely in the hands of Messrs.
Perkins and Potter , and the latter isnow
in Burlington for the purpose of securing
Air. Perkins' assent to the doal. That ho
will concur in any arrangement made by
Mr. Potter there is practically no ques
tion.
tion.It
It was learned dofinitolyycatordayupon
what terms the disturbances have boon
settled. Surprising to nearly everybody
will bo the announcement that the settlement -
mont has been effected upon a basis in
volving the pooling of competitive busi
ness. It had boonaccepted as positively
determined that an agreement of that
character was practically an impossibility ,
but the desire for peace has prompted
concessions which were thought to bo en
tirely without the palo of possibilities.
After the Friday night conference had
been nearly concluded , Mr. Kimball , as a
last resort , proposed that a compromise
bo effected in regard' to what business
should bo considered competitive , looking
to an adjustment on a pooling basis.
The Burlington instated thut only
business originating at strictly competi
tive pointfl pliould come under that head ,
while the Union Pacifio had firmly main
tained that the term "competitive busi
ness" should apply to all business within
from twonty-fiyo to fifty milea of strictly
competitive points. When the proposi
tion for a compromise on this question
waa made , Friday night , Mr. Potter gave
aa an ultimatum that ho would make con
cessions only so far as to include business
originating within ono station on oithot
side " of junction points , on condition
th"at his line east of the river should
receive an equitable proportion q
Union Pacifio business at Omaha. This
ao far as business west of the river waa
concerned , was satisfactory to the Union
Pacific , and having accepted the propos !
tion ua far as Ms road was concerned , Mr.
Kimball referred Mr. Potter to Messrs.
Cable and Merrill for a decision as to
Omaha business , The latter gentlemen
reasserted their right to a portion of the
Burlington & Missouri business if the Ohi
cage , Burlington & Qainoy should share
in the Union Pacifio business at Omaha.
Mr. Potter would not recognize their
claim , but finally in the interest of peace
a compromise was agreed to by which
the Burlington was to give the tripartite
roads east of the river a certain percent
age of the Burling and Missouri river
businons between Hastings nnd FJntts-
tncuth , the Burlington , in return , to re
ceive a certain proportion of the Union
Pacifio business. At Omaha this was
satisfactory all around , and the percent
ages in regard to the latter part of the
agreement will bo determined upon
within a few daya.

Ijnnd.
Seine few days einco wo had the pleas
ure of on introduction o an ngod lady ro-
iding upon Sixth street , away down
ilong the B. it M. railway track , She
was not in the best of financial circum-
itanccs , nnd her culinary department woo
ilmoat abandoned of all odiblei stxvo a
in all lump of oloomargorino and a few
cquaro crackers. She had her arm in n
ihng made out of an old time Bandana
handkerchief which , in appearance , iudi-
dicatcd that it had come to this country
many years tgo as a packet toilet of
some of our early pioneers. Wo ques
tioned her as to the cause of her injury ,
and oho informed us that about three
weeks ago eho slipped and fell upon an
icy pavement in going out to secure n
few groceries which were urgently needed - '
od by her , and in falling dislocated the
humorous bono just above the elbow.
She sconica to bo n good and sincere
old lady and wo proffered our aasistanco
to obtain for her what she might need in
the way of proper food for nourishment.
Thia proffer was accepted , but not with
out many thanks on the past of the ngod
nnd isolated lady. She stated that all
she wanted WAS some pork chops and n
few loaves of broad. Wo purchased
some and delivered them to nor , when
wo bade her good day and promised to
call again.
Thuro was something about the pres
ence of that old lady which , while she
ooomod nompwhat woird-liko to us , im
pressed us with the idea that if wo again
called and treated her in the samp kind-
ko manner that something of interest
not only to ourselves , but to the general
public , might bo elicited from her.
Yesterday while upon our accustomed
rounds for news , and when near the depot -
pot , \ro bethought ourselves of this old
lady , und having some spare time , care
lessly wended our way to her homo. Wo
found her rapidly convalescing from the
injury received and in joyant spirits.
Under thcso circumstances wo had no
hesitancy in commencing ati interview
with her as follows :
' Well , madam , you have lived here
quite n while , I presume ? "
"Yes , nirj I was hero when there were
only thirteen houses in Omaha. "
"And you did not como hero alone ,
and livu alone thcso many years ? ' '
"No , air. My old man , myself , nnd
our daughter came hero from Now Jersey
together in an ox tram ot our own. Our
daughter was then only a baby. "
"Well , madam , where are they now ,
ploasol"
"You see that town across the river ?
Well , that is now called Council Bluffs
it was then known as Kancsvlllo. There
WOB an old man named Joe Johnson over
there , in the merchandise business , nnd
wo could buy stuff from him a great deal
cheaper tlian wo could get it on this , vide
of the river , and my husband often wont
over in a boat ho made himself to bu
things. So ho started across ono evening
and ho has never boon Been since. Ho
didn't show up at Kanoavillo , and ho lias
never shown up on this side. I IJUOBS he
never passed unto the other side , and
novcr got back onto this bank. "
"Probably ho was drowned in the
treacherous waters of the Missouri. "
"Yes , I have always thought so , for if
ho hadn't been , ho would surely have
como homo. "
"And your daughtoi : I presume she is
still living. "
"Woll , sirjl can't toll you that. About
a week after she missed her father she
determined to go in search of him. Shu
had an idea that ho might have lost his
boat and bo in Kanosvillo for wo had no
bridges across the Missouri then and she
burrowed a canoe from nu Indian and
crossed the river in search of her father.
I saw her go over nnd I watched her re
turn. I wont down to the river bank ,
met her , saw her fasten the canoe and
turned to go to the house. I glanced
hack but she was not in sight , and she
has not boon homo since. "
'Well , how do you explain her ah-
Bonco ? You have not seen her since ? ' '
"Tho cause of her nbsonno I cannot ac
count for. Yes , I have seen her since ,
and often. For soyou years I hod a man
employed a.deteotivoat night who know
her woll. She would ooruo up to him
when ho waa on duty nt night and run
against him , and then off with the utmost
of speed to the bend of the river below
and theio was lost aight of "
"Have you yourself seen her ? "
" 0 , yo ; she would oomo into the
kitchen when my back waa turned , break
nil the dishes in her
way , and as soon
as I would turn my eyes on her aho wan
off like a doer to the river bond below ,
wliorp she seemed to submerge herself n
the nurging waters. "
"But do you not think , madam , that
you only saw her in imagination ? "
"No , sir ; I am perfectly sure , always
have been , and am now.1'
"But do you not think that thia idea
of seeing nor was an idiocyncrasy of
thought upon your part ? That through
bereavement for the loss of both hus ,
band and daughter your mind waa tern
porarily weak. "
"No , air. At times she now comes ,
but it is olvvajB at night , but raps at u
window of the room which aho used to
occupy. Bho always cornea when.tho
moon is full never when the night is
dark. "
"But how do you account for such pe !
culiar visits from her ! You say you saw
hi-r land safuly and hence know that shu
w.ia not drownodfi *
"Well , sir , I do not know how to ac
count for things as they are. I have i
brother yet living in Jersey , who is prot
ty well provided for in this world'a goods
and thin matter , after years of lavatory
has driven me to write him , I douo BO ,
and ho has promised to como and take
me back to Jersey as soon as spring opens ,
and I pray this may BOO a ocvur , for the
people about hero call mo the old witch ,
and won't oome near mo. Oh | I am al
most detracted ; please leave mo alone ,
< < oed sir , and call at eorno other time-
when my brother'oomo * , if you CMI. "
And we retraced our stops homeward
in dwp thought as to this mystorioua
affair , inasmuch as the old woman was
quite intelligent , and ooomed to be per
feo'ly ' rational. When we think it an
opportune time to do BO we will again
call aud t from this old lady the bal
ance of uar moil peculiar nwraUre. |

The journal was road nnd approved.
I'KTITIONS AND OOMMDN1CATIONH.
From the mayor : Approving various
ordinances recently passed.
From Omaha National bank : Asking
that William J. Crozior bo appointed as
special policeman for their promises with
out pay. Confirmed.
From citizens of Sixth ward : Trans
mitting resolution adopted at n mooting
of Cuming street property owners Janu

bo instructed to prepare a profile of said
street , etc. Referred.
From Goo. F. Wells : Asking correc
tion of certain taxes charged against prop ,
orty inherited by him , supposed to bo
paid , Referred.KEHOLUTIOXrt.
KEHOLUTIOXrt.
By Lecdor : That the city pound-
master bo instructed to adhere to the
provisions of the ordinance provided for
liis appiontmont nnd specifyIrg his duties.
Mr. Hascall naked what the necessity
waa for such n resolution. Ho had no
knowledge that the ponndmaator had
violated his duties.
Mr. Locdcr stated that there was no
provision for employing assistants and
yet had four men scouring the town to
pull in nil the milch cowaand other ani
mals found running at largo.
Mr. Colfmann said the city was large
enough to enforce the ordinance in ques
tion , and that it was an outrage to allow
iU violation.
Mr. Dunham said the present pound-
master hod pledged himself not to bo too
strict in enforcing the ordinance , but to
take only such animals as were brought
to him.
Mr. Anderson thought that the pound-
master had men in his employ in looking
up stray animals and running them in ,
and favored the resolution.
Mr. Hascall spoke in favor of the or
dinance , and said it required a daring
man to enforce it. The present incum
bent was notified that he would not Hvo
thirty days , and insured his life. That
fixed his family all right. Now that the
work ef paving nnd sewer building was
alack , it was a good time to go to work
on smaller things. Mr. Anderson
thought the intent of the law was only
to prevent nuisances , nnd it should not
bo too literally euforccd.-
Mr. Murphy gave an instance that had
jut occurred , whore a man had put his
horses in the alloy while ho cleaned the
barn , and some boys came along and run
the animals in , and although he got to the
pound immediately after , ho had to pay
the fine.
Mr. Hascall showed that the law al
lowed milch cows to run about thq streets
and alloys from November 1 to March 1.
The resolution was adopted.
By Mr. Leodor : That a catch basin bo
put in on the corner of Tenth nnd Chica
go streets.
By Kaufmann. : To hrwo locks put on
all desks in the council room. Adopted.
1 BEPOHT-3 OF COMMITTEES.
On. police : Recommending payment of
of n bill due Charles Split.
Mr. Dunham said that thia waa a case
similar to that of poundmastcr , but it
would bo corrected. Adopted.
OIIDIXANCEB.

Electric Light and Motor company to
erect and maintain poles and wires along
the public streets aud highways of the
city , for the purposes of their business
under certain restrictions , this .right to

The ordinance also provides that such
poles may bo used by other companion
upon payment cf an equitable sum , to bo
ngrccd upon by arbitration or to bo determined
terminod by the city. Referred.
An ordinance authorizing the issue o
$8,000 paving bonds , bearing 0 per cen

district No. 7. No. action.
An ordinance declaring the Omah.
Rendering and Fertilizing works a nuis
unco , which should bo abolished and or
uoring their immediate removal , was in
ti educed.
Mr. Anderson was rot in favor of aban
doning the works , but thought the pro
priotora should be comppllod to coiifluun
the noxious gases in their furnaces as *
done elsewhere.
Mr. Kaufmann said he wanted th
parties to kn w that the nuthoritie
could compel them to remove at leas
three miles fiom the city limits. Rea
twico.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Mr. Baker suggested ihat it would b
a flood time to consider the question o
submitting to the citizcnn at the spriu

Au Eloquent Address Delivered l > y
It-cv. Mr. Copeland of the Unl-
tnrlnu Clniroh ofOiimba ,
About ono hundred ami fifty people ,
many of them ladies , assembled in the
auditorium of Masonic temple last even
ing to listen to nddresaes , or eulogies ,
upon the life , character , etc. , of Thomas
Paine , the great free-thinker of his day
nnd time , and the first to oapouso the
cause of free religious thought in his na
tive country , and also in America.
The exercises were opened by Judge
Edmund Bartlett in a few happy and
well-timed remarks , in which ho pro
nounced n most beautiful eulogy
upon the author of the "Ago
of Reason. " Hw remarks were
received with fitting applause from
the audience. Judge Bartlett then in > |
troducod the speaker of the evening , the
Rov. Mr. Copeland , pastor of the Uni
tarian church of this city.
As Mr. Copcland nroso from his seat
nnd stopped forward on the stage to the
table provided for the speaker ho was
received with a grand round of applause
by the audience. .
Mr. Copeland commenced his remarks
in a most earnest and eloquent style c f
delivery , and which was continued
through the entire lecture. It was not
ono of these dry alTaim which ore so fre
quently produced by speakers on occas .
ions of this kind , but waa interspersed
with an occasional witticism , which in
voked loud laughter from the hearers.
Ho commenced his lecture by stating
that 147 years ago Thomas P ino was
born in Bedford , England , of humble
parentage. That ho received such an ed
ucation ns the then lower schools
of England afforded to children of the
poorer classes. At the age ot thirty-
seven ho immigrated to America and
landed in Philadelphia , and after a few
months from the time of his landing the
then thirteen colonies held meetings and
elected delegates to a convention which
wna to frame the Declaration of Inde
pendence. Paine was solicited to allow
his name to be used as one of these
delegates , but positively de
clined , and Mr. Copelaud held that Jef
ferson and Paine were the compilers of
that document , but that the latter waa
the inspiring genius ot American in
dependence. Ho further claimed that
but for the pen of Paine , Washington's
sword would have rusted in its scabbard
inasmuch as the continental army
was at that time disheartened and
diooouragod and the brilli&pt ,
eloquent and patriotic writings of Paine
alone kept Washington's army unitedand
under discipline ; that it was his hands
which broke the bands of tyranny in
France when ho was elected a delegate-
the national assembly of that empire
when he emigrated thereto from thia
country ; that no was imprisoned there
for his freedom of thought nnd radical
expression of the same , and that when in
prison there and sentenced to execution
upon the guillotine is when ho wrote the
book _ known as the "Age of Reason , "
which has gained a popularity through
out the civilized world second to no work
ever published , not oven the Bible.
Mr. Copeland took occasion to got a
few well directed blows in on the Revs.
Curry nud Thomas , of Chicago , who have
forjsomo time post been engaged in a
newspaper controversy in that city.
Those remarks were well received by the
audience.
Mr. Copeland concluded his remarks
with eloquent words beautifully ox
pressed.
The quartette club of the Turn-verein
association at thia juncture filed into the
hall by invitation and sang a beautiful
anthem in the Gorman language , at the
conclusion of which they were loudly en
cored by the audience. The club having
taken their seats Judge BtirtMt related
a spicy little nnocdoto which again
brouyht the singers to their foot , and an
other line musical troit had.
Mr. Sclmartty , conuoted with The
Post of this city , was then called uoon ,
and delivered a eulogy on Paine , in the
German Innguigo , which was highly ap
preciated by all present , particularly the
Germans.
The ceremonies were brief and spicy ,
at the conclusion of which all went away
fooling as though the evening was well
nnd profitably spent.
