Upon examina tion it was found that ho was a steam fitter and that ho had endeavored to se cure employment in this city. lie was sent to the county jail for a few days , not on a sentencebut for lodging until his case could bo more thoroughly investi gated.

Ho said that he wns up in Florence a few days since , and while there got pretty full with the boys , and during the spree they all ( 'ot mixed up in a bar-room tight. Ho left tljo place and started for Omaha , but a gang of the Florence men followed him and overtaking him , began kicking aud beating him in u moat brutal manner , and that is how ho accounts for his black 'eye.

Ono of the most enjoyable paries of the winter wna the itmsqucrado ball of last evening , hold in N. B. Falconer's hall. This ball wns given by the oin- ployos of Mr. Falconer , and was under the management of N. T. Anderson , A. G. Itachnnan , T. P. Cartwright , 0. A. Yost and A. MoKyizio , of > vhom not too much can bo said of the < able and elegant manner in which it was conducted. It was ono of these old-fashioned parties where formality is dispensed with and where every ono is present for fun and enjoyment. The participants in the fes tivities of the ovcnini ; were the employers nnd employes of the various stores in the city , nnd the rela tion of owner nnd clerk scorned for the time forgotten. The hall was most brilliantly lighted and decorated for this festive occasion , and is ono of the finest in the city for n party of the kind given last night. Right over the dancing hall is another ono in the third story , in which a most elegant supper was served for all in attendance. The young and old present last night , were these of whom both'omyloyor and employers may well feel proud. The party was ono which was entirely relieved and free from those whoso presence in such place is not desired. Mr. Falconer was everywhere - where present and seemed to bo entirely rejuvenated. Inyin's orchestra furnish ed the music and a select programme of dances was gene thrugh with. The dancers tarried until early morning when tired of enjoyment they wont to their homos. It was an ovoniug long to bo remembered , and of which the managers nnd participants have just cause to fool proud. THE MOST UHETOL HOOK EXCEPT TUB liim.i : Is a dhuy of every day personal life. J.

OITY TAXES , A Flattering Sliowlnir From the City Treasurer. As will bo soon by the following , the collection of city taxes for the years of 1881 and 1882 are very close and it is indeed a very Haltering showing , and a great deal of credit is duo City Treasurer Buck for the live manner in which ho conducts the all'uira of the ollico , thus gathering in the shekels duo the city for taxes. It also speaks loudly for the prosperity and worth of Omaha thnt BO small a de linquent tnx is to bo recorded. In the months of December and Janu ary last , City Treasurer Buck disbursed 8235,000 , and received for taxiw nbout the same amount. This shows that the city is transacting some business. Of the 1881 tax levy there remains un paid only 2 per cent. Of the 1882 tax levy there remains un paid now leas than II per cent. Of the 1883 tax levy 70 per cent is al ready paid. Notwithstanding the change of time when taxes bocoino do * linquent , as largo a percentage as usual has boon paid this year before taxes be came delinquent.

The attendance far exceeded the expectation of the management , and indeed the hall was so full the guests had to await their turn to danco. The decorations exceeded anything ol the kind scon this season , and must have occasioned considerable outlay. Upon entering the hall the beautiful inscrip tion "Welcome" was first seen. Above the door wns suspended a "horse shoo , ' indicative of the wish that good luck would accompany the firemen in their * perilous dashes across the country. Around the pillars were interwoven the national colors , and festoons of evergreen and ( lowers were suspended from the chande liers to cither side of the hall. Upon the stapo occupied by the orchestra was erected a locomotive , a "fac simile" of the ideal ono that traverses the plains , The number 123 indicated the number ol the order to which the firemen belonged. Suspended immediately in front of the locomotive were the inscriptions : " " " " and "Indus "Friendship , "Sobriety" try.
