r.hK IXULY BEET DECEMBER 9 1SS4 THE BOARD OF TRADE. Propilion to Bny a Lot Discnsscd , lint No Action TA&CII A. Kiill nnil an Iiitcrcstlnj ; J Lwt night' * meeting of the Omaha board of trade wns the moat important held for tunny months , both in point o ! numbers present and business transacted. The board wna called to order nt 8 o'clock ' by President Falconer , whoso neat bnt- ton-holo bouquet gave him a tcnato- rial appearance , which his conduct of the meeting bore out. Secretary Gibson called the roll , nnd DID minuted of the lost mooting wcro road and approved. The main business of the evening was then brought up in the shape of the reso lution laid over at the previous meotinR to assess each member of the board $100 for the purchase of a lot to bo used aa n alto for n Chamber of Commerce building. Mr. Gibson staled that the committee had spent twno time in looking up available - able building lota and had fixed upon the city property corner of Farnam and Sixteenth as most advantageous. This lot , CO by 132 foot la now partially occu pied by No. 3 engine houao. A confer ence was hold with the city counciltnen and county commissioners , the former being desirous of purchasing the old courthouse and grounds for city purposco , and a kind of three cornered agreement was made by which the board would got thin lot aud ono on the corner of Ninth and Harney streets , also belonging to the city , the city would got the court hnuao and alto nnd the county coramls- aionora got the cash they need , which will bo $12,000 to $1-1,000. The price oi the county property will bo fixed by ap praisers and tuat will settle the whole business. Councilmen IlnsoaU aud Andoraor were present and the former confirmed the statement. IIo thought it to the in terest of thu city to give the proceeds ol thoao lota to the county for bur equitable share in the court houao oad grouuds.thi : city having an equal interest. The house would furnish the city with vaults and r council chamber that would bo adequate. for the city's needs for five years to como , The property will bo sold at appraised valuation and the appraisers will keep it : mind that the board of trade is to bo thi purchaser. Mr. Gibson moved the adoption of the resolution and upoko of the necessity ol u Hvo , energetic Trade Board , commen surate Trith the growing importance ol the city. Burlington with but 29,00 ( population has a Trade Board nnc is about to build a Chnmbci of Commerce. This board hns heretofore been assessed but § G per yeai for each momombor , but by the proposed assessment of $100 per member , the § 13- 000 required to buy the property could bo raisad. To orecc a suitable building , proposed the issue of § 30,000 C per cenl ten years' bonds , and suggested that the Chamber of Commerce would be a four- story building , covering the full lot , have a basement , and that its rentals and membership fees would go into a sink. ing fund to eventually pay off the bonds. Judge Lytlo moved that the paid ur. "capital1 stock bo forovur non-assessable and W. D. Marshall suggested a changi in the holding of snares. John I. Redick wanted it understooc .and provided that no salaries should bi paid any o2bars except upon a specie ! agreement. Mr. Wakefiold moved that the assessment - ment bo ordered , to take effect Januarj 1st. 1st.Max Meyer moved that the board ol directors consist of nine instead of sever members. Adopted. Mr. Hascall moved that the number ol vice presidents hereafter consist of twc Instead of four. Mr. Shelton , amid laughter , waited to amend the motion si as to elect seven vice presidents , so the honors would go around , but Hascall'e motion was adopted. A long discussion followed on iho question of the right Jof a mombar to transfer his stock or membership ilckol for a money consideration and argued that us it was ono man could buy up all the stock , elect his own president , treasurer , etc. , and run the concern. Mr. P. E. Her advocated a total revi sion of the articles of incorporation and that no mombar of th > < Board bo allowed but ono vote on the floor. Mr. Hitchcock movo'd to refer to ss committed of five to revise and report al aa ndjjurned mooting. Lost. At length a motion tu uflopt the now articles section by section and thus finish the work while BO largo u quorum wore present , prevailed and this occupied the larger remaining part of the evening.

In 1870 a woman named Mary Robin son , living at that time in Cameron , Mo. , brought suit in the circuit court of lliy county , in that state , against a man named Samuel Manser to recover § 23,000 for personal injuries alleged to have been sustained from an attempt at rape com- mittcod by defendant. The case was tried to a jury which returned a verdict for plaintiff of § li50. The case was taken to the supreme court by the doscnd&nt and the judgment of thu lower court was reversed on the ground that the evidence showed that no outrage had been com milted , the plaintilf being a willing party. Miss Robinson them busied herself for some time after this last decision , which was In 1882 , writing a history of her case and compiling the ovldonco adduced to the jury. Yesterday the attention of the post office- inspectors was called to novoral small pamphlets addressed to Grover Cleveland , Mary Livcrmoro , Congress man Kelley , Uov. Tdlmadgo and others. Upon examining them they worn found to bo the case above referred to in pamphlet form. The fly leaf of each page con tained a cut of Mies Robinson , under neath which was her autograph , The pamphlets were addressed in the auto graph hand , which loads to the conclu sion that the woman is in the city and besides - sides there are grave suspicions that ttio books were printed in Omaha. They wcro taken from the mails and hold to await the action of the postoflico department at Washington , on the ground that they were nou mailablo , being - ing obscene literature.

The train consisted of engine , bugjago , express cara and two passomrer coaches , and thcto wore about evonly-five persons In all , including passen.

AH mile alter milu the distance to Little llock was decroasnd , the passengers began to think of tlio warm cupparn awaiting them and to got their grips nuil imsltuscn ready for the arrival at Litllo Kock. All at once the tram slackened In speed , According to ruin na It was m > lug by n switch three miles from the city. Instead of keepiug the main track , however , nory unusual itupurtnro was niiuln which astonished tlui engineer. The switch was opi'n anil the tr.iin rolled slowly on it.

They brought tlio engineer nud express aud bajfB.iRoinon into the passen ger coaches , while uno of tlio gang went for tlio two express safes in that car. The wild est alarm and consternation at once prevailed , and passengers could see that tlioyvro com pletely nt Iho mercy of the desperadoes. Tlio passengers m the ruur car were not molested until the smnking-cir m frout wns "gono throiitrh , " aud will o they knew that an attempt nt robbery was boiug made , they wuro afraid to move or m.ikunuy break which , from the reckless manner in which the balla were flying mound , would evidently have proved an unhealthy undertaking. Thu valua bles nnd money of all in the tmijking-cnr wcro taken , the passengers buiug requested to hold up their hands , HANDS ur. When the leaderappoarad in the door of the rear car ho throw n big revolver down in the most approved btylo and c.illod out in n loud voice , "Hands tipf livery hand went up with gren1 ; rapidity. The robbers looked around to see tnnt every baud was up , und then said : "I'll only detain you n moment. After the safe is opened you will nil bo invited to contribute to tha raieeionaricu , " Un stood in the door talking Incessantly , in a jocular manlier , and watchinc his comrades nt work ou the safe. Occasionally ho would shut the doors , but immediately put his head in again nnd remind the people thnt their hands must remain up. The leader finally got Impatient at the delay , and called out in n loud voice : ' If you can't get the safe open , chuck It out and blow it opou ; " but the nafo was opened , and then the whole gang wont for the last car. One big , burly fellow , with n large Bade , then went through the car and snatched wntchos and jewelry and money from the unresisting passengers. Thu work was not doiio cxpodi- tiously , nnd took three quartern of nn hour from the time thn first shot * were fired until nVi \ vovnr. . The money and wntchos se cured amounts !

A Imwyer Turn < j IMrati : . WABIIINOTON , December C. In a con tested laud caao now b&foro the interior department , the attorney for ono of the parties in hia brief makou the following obscr.ution : "Lord Bacon has wisely and truly written : 'Tho letter killoth , but the apirit makoth alivo. ' Is it not eufliciont if a man hubctantially complies with Iho spirit o Iho Ian ? And if ho does not comply tmh ita every letter , if ho honestly boliuvoi ho baa done oo , nnd acta accordingly , will Ilia good faith anel honeot intent not bo considered by this depart ment in the interpretation of the law ? " The opposing counsel opona hia brief aa follows : "Tlio claimr.nt'ii counsel in this case Is cither grossly ignoraiu of the law or has broken his outh aa an attorney , for ho either docs not know that Lord Bacon did not wrlto the Second ISpiatlo to the Corinthian1 ! , or ho ia trying to mislead the Interior department by 'fulKo- hood and deceit' by quoting the apostle Paul aa good authority in land cases. When the great apostle wrote to the people - plo of Corinth , The letter killelh , but tlio spirit glvoth life , ' ho had no refer ence to timbor-culturo canes ; in fact , the act entitled 'An act to cncourago the growth of timber on vfontorri prarioa' had not bncomo a law in A D. CO , nor did it become a law until eighteen hundred yoara later , BO it ia dourly to bo soon that the language quoted ia not in point. There is ono thing in bin argument also that is to bo regretted , and tlut is the chr.rgo of plagarism against the lord chancellor of England. Bacon has boon charged with bi'ing author if the plays commonly credited to Shakoopoaro , and alto with corruption In oflico , but this now thrust of literary pir.icy in extremely unjust , coming at this late date from a member of thu Minnesota bar.

'Oomo Itil" This waa the gruff aua or that Judge Duller made to n timid knock at his of- fica door In Now Lexington , the strug gling capital ot the now famous mining county of Perry. The door softly opened aud a tlmlt bit of a girl entered. She nvght htwo boon l0. ! AS a matter of fact Kitty Fanshswo wno just ISand lior own mistress in the even of the law. " "Well , Miss Kitty , " bogon the Judge , in hia brucquo busineca way , "I secured a deoroo in court this mor ning which outitlos you to the poa- soaalcm of your farm m Saltlick town ship. " "Oh , I am so happy , Mr. Butlott 1 I am no happy that 1 have got my old homo back , and that papa's will has not beou broken. " "Tut. tut , little girl ! you ought to bo sorry. You couldn't soil the untiro eighty acroa of land for enough moui-y to pay thn costs of the court. ' "Oh , dear ! v ° u frighten mo. What do the costa amount to , Mr. Butler ? " "Your proportion of the court costs ia S1G5 and my fee ia $50 ; total ? 215 " "Then Icau hover pay it.and will have to givn up after all , 1 have boon able to eave but $35 out of my wngoa during the whole year , nnd I had hoped that th&t would pay all oxponnca. " And Kitty Funohawo indulged in a via lent tit of weeping. "Dry your tears , little erne , " nnd Judge ' tremulous "don't Duller'a volco grew ; cry nny ruoro. I won't make any charge for my cervices ; oo there's ' ? 50 of it paid off at onco.

I thought you were acquainted. " The jouag pooplo. bowed to each other. i . Will Mr. Rjlfo , your guardian , ad aanco you the money to discharge the clerk's coats and have the decree regular ly recordndl" aakod Judge Butler. "I do not think ho will. " "Then accept Mr. Burclay'a offer. Ho ia not wealthy , but ho has tlio money and can spare it for a year or two until you are able to repay him. " "Bnt I doubt the proprlaty of taking it. " "Nonaonoo , nonsense little ono , it is simply a busiuess tranaastion. " Mias Kitty tried in vain to protest fur ther , but the grull judge would have none of it , and in half an hour ho had her sig nature to an agreement to pay Mr. Fen- ton Barclay $103 in four norm-annual payments of $41.25 each , with intpreat at 0 per cent. After MIES Fanahawo had again and again thanked her young btinofuotorwlth smilou and blushes contending for the inastory withdrew. Of course the ntory of Fsnton Barclay's generosity toward the friendless girl got out in the village , and it didn't take the goaslpa long to doildo that ho and Kitty were to bo married. Sooth to imy , the decision reached by the gosnipa wns not very displeasing to either of them , and nhnont b&fnru they know it Fonton Barclay and Kitty Fanshawo were on- gaged. Almost uimultanooua with Mr. Barclay's admission to the bar they were married. When the young barrister arid hia wlfo visited the farm ho Haw how valuolcta hia real cstato eecurily wno , and laugningly said that ho ought to have accepted the ncml-anniml payments , which ho hid refused lo do. 1 le made what ho regarded an a good bargain when ho found a man ivho would pay the taxes on the farm for the privilege of occupying it , Fenton Barclay had a young lawyor'a ex perience for several yoirs at trying to make a living in a country town , and a hard struggle it was very frequently. But iu the meantime aorno wonderful changes had takou place in Perry county. The Hacking Valley railroad had ponolrntod its southern border , and the town of Now Ktraitsvillo sprang into existence. Mrs. Jinrcby'a farm adjoined the now town , and it was not long until it was discovered that it contained the mont valuable coal mines In all that portion of the Monday clerk val ley. A long ot'iry of nugptation can bo told very briefly. A mining company purchased the eighty aero tract Irom Mrs , Barclay at thu prlco of $125 per aero , To the young couple $ ! Jt , 000 was an immense fortune. To.duy Mr Fen ton Barclay ia u prosperous attorney in Gotham , and occasionally tells his inti mate friends how ho came tu marry a fortune. John 0 , WttttonV. .
