MII , OUEHE'S VIIESENT.
At the cloto of the Saturday morning
session of the district court , Mr. Goorgu
Ambrose sprang to his feet nnd
stated that ho had a little matter ho do *
aired to lay before the court. Ho said
that In the court room was n man who
had boon engaged as n court oillcor oinco
November , 1809. That during all the
long years ho had conducted himself and
his business in n manner which called for
nothing but commendation and praise.
That ho had boon faithful to ovcry trust
and had boon courteous and gentlemanly
at all timer. Mr. Ambrose said thas in
these times when public ofllcials wore so
prone to bo unfaithful It ia moot and
right that a deserving ofliccr should bo
rownrdo'J. IIo then called upon Judge
Wakoloy to cull upon Mr. Grebe and
uronouiico sentence upon him.
Mr. Grebe was called within the railing
mill was asked liy the court whether ho
guilty or not as charged. Ho Ki'd that ho
was guilty. " .Now , " said Judge Wake-
ley , "have you any tiling to say why the
sentence of this court should not bo passed
upon you ? " Mr. Grebe said ho had
nothing to say. The court then ordered
that 1m go from the court house liunco to
General Frederick's hat store , and there
bo fitted with a sealskin cap and a pair of
sealskin gloves as a. token of esteem and
respect from tha old members of the bar
in this city. After pronouncing sentence
the court followed with a few well chosen
words , complimenting Mr. Grebe upon
the manner in which he had po formed
his every duty.
While sentence was being pronounced
the old vetuia.il . stood with uncovered head
and a tear sparkled in his eye. At its
closed ho simply said , "Gentlemen , I
thank you. "
For sixteen yea's Mr. Grebe lias per
formed his duties in a manner becoming a
faithful officer , and this mark of confi
dence and esteem , coming as it does from
the court and the most prominent mem
bora of the bar , is something which speaks
louder than wotds , and can bo looked
back to with justifiable pride by the
worthy recipient.

baugh was kindly remembered by the
Young Men's Christian association , of

date of hi ) birth being known to a few
of hia friend ? , they determined to pre
sent him with a subtUntlal testimony.
A party of his friends to the number of
about thirty repaired to his residence in
the evening , and "opanod up" with a
serenade. They were quickly Invited
into the house , and accorded the freest
hospitality. After an excellently render
ed musical progiammo , Mr. 0. F.
Harrison stepped forward and In a neat
presentation speech , handed to Mr.

nearly resulted fatUly.
As he was going homo on that evening

weapon struck. Th ) villain who madi

A Myatery Unsolved.
\bout ejght o'clock last night , a colorei
man lushed Into the undertaking cstab
llshment of Drezel & Maul , and told ii
a breathless way of a terrible tragedy 01 >
the corner of Ninth and Dodge street *
Ho said that a man had just been shot ii
that locality , and requested that Oorone
Drexel bo Instantly sent to the spot I
remove the body. Ho then diaippoare
and was not seen later.
The matter was thoroughly /nvosl / !
or gated by ex-Coroner Maul , and th
police , but not the slightest clue could b
obtained.
It U more than probable that the boa
originated in the brilliant brain cf srmo
hfartlo's wretch , eager alike to wrlnc
the heart of the Hornless reporter , and
to furnish glowing but dilu ire rxntici
palloTis of "Coroner Dread's first. "
A MIDNIGRT MEETING ,
Wilson's Adventure " \Vllh Two
, AVhn On Tlirnitgli l
rockets An Amusing
Interview.
At about the hour cf 12 on Satutday
night Mr. James Wilson , stenographer
for the Llningor & Motcalf agricultural
Implement company , met with an interesting -
esting adventure as ho was on his way
homo in the north part of the city.
At Tenth and Pierce streets ho passed
two ugly looking mon , and ho hnd some
suspicion that they wcro out on some
crooked enterprise , As he walked along
ho looked around and SAW that they wore
following him. A second tlmo ho looked
back and saw that the vlllainouspalrworo
gaining on him. When ho looked around
the third time ho saw two pistols staring
at him.
"Hands up 1" ordered ono of the hlgh-
waymon , for such they proved to be.
"Gentlemen , you have the advantage
of mo , " coolly replied Mr. Wilson , "and
I comply with your request. " And
thereupon up wont Wilson's hands. The
highwaymen immediately nrocooded to go
through the pockets of their victim.
"Don't take any valuable papers or
bonds out of my pocketbook , " said \Vil-
son laughingly , "that's nil I am particu
lar about. "
They secured § 1 75 in money and a
valuable piper. Wilson politely nskod
the MI to return the paperwhich they did.
"I hnvo been connected with the
English and American press , " said Wil
son , "and naturally enough I would like
to Interview you fellorrJ. Why did you
tackle mel"
"Yon kent looking around as if you
had something you wanted to savr. "
"Well , I looked around to see if you
wore following mo , and when I saw that
you wore , 1 thought it rather import- !
uout and was about to ask you what yon
wanted , when my gfj-.a encountered your
revolvers. I don't object very much to
yonr robbing me , but can't you find some
bolter way of making a living ? "
"JNotin Omaha , " said ono of the high ,
waymon. "I'll toll yon something if
you won't ' glvo it away. This is a good
town to pick up follows who go homo
drunk Saturday night. They generally
don't have much money , but it all counts
up in the long run. "
"Have you made much money during
the past month ? " asked Wilson.
"Yes , a good deal. Wo have picked
up quite a number of follows who had
money than you. "
"Won't you givo'mo my money back in
consideration of the pleasant little talk
wo have had ? ' ' pleaded Wilson.
"Not by a d d s ght , " was the re
ply."Good
"Good night , " naid Wilson , aa ho pro
ceeded on his way home , more amused
than anything else at b's ' little advcti-
turo.
KNIGHTS OF THE KEY ,
Views of the Tolcgrapli Operators
on tlio Rumored Reduction ,
For some time It has bjcn vaguely ru
mored araonp local telegraph circloa that
a strike was brewing among the telegraph
operators throughout the cDuntry. The
causes which have furnished for the ru
mor a certain foundation are alleged dissat
isfaotlon among the telegraph oporatori
ov r the recent reduction ; and a vagno
feeling , which has boon fed from 'tlmo ( o
tlmo by various roportothat a stillfurther
er reduction cf 15 par cent. ia io bo
nude. *
A reporter intorvlowod last night an
old time operator , well posted on matters -
tors pertaining i o the brotherhood both
locally and abroad , with rofeivnco to
this point. Said he ; "I don't think in
the first place , that there will bo any
further reduction ; I don't tbiuk the com
pany can afford to make It. Bat even if
the reduction of 1C per cent were to bo
made In the general wages , I do not
believe that the telegraphers throughout
. the country would go out on a ntriko ,
Why ? For the simple reason that wo
can't afford to. Hero am I , ( and I am sit
uated like thousands of ottier tolegrach
operators throughout the country ) with
, wif j and children to support. 1 can't
afford to throw up iny position and run
ning the very great rink of losing the
work that brings me broad and
butter. Not until spring , nt least ,
could a general strike bo in
augurated with any safety , and even
then , I don't think it will bo. Our
policy with the company will bo ono of
suasion. Wo shall try and Induce thorn
to look ever the situation and see that
wo can't 11 vo on the salnrlc.s wo are ro-
l" coivlng aotf , to say nothing of the pro-
u pose'd reduction of fifteen per cent , No ,
: as soon as the present uncertainty passes
away , wo Hhall lay the matter before
t the company and ask. thorn for a general
raise in salaries , "
;
"What are your hours of work ? "
a i
"Phot's another point. Wo have no
stated hours of work. Wo have to itiy
by oar Instruments until tha work IB
dono. Sometimes our working days am
stretched out to fourteen , fifteen , even
nineteen hours a day. It is wicked folly
