In JudgoNevlllo's conrtyettorday mornIng - Ing William G&lliglicr.nllas Clarkewas ar raigned on a charge of obtaining money under falsa pretenses. Ho pleaded not guilty , and the trial waa commenced. The immediate offense of which Ualll- ghcr Is accused is that of defrauding in July , 1883 , John E. Edwards , the real estate man. Ho wont to Edwards and mor'giged ' to him for $100 a mule and horse which ho had never owned , and which really had no existence Ho was after wards arrested by Jack Galllgan near Valentino , but escaped , bcoauto the latter had no legal warrant for the arrest , Ho was afterwards apprehended and land ed In the county jail , some time 1 at fall Galllgher has been caught in several scrapes of this kind during the past five years. In 1881 ho pliyed almost the uiino trick npon P. A. B. Cosk , at that time a comm'ssion merchant on Thlr tocnth street , inducing that gentleman to loan him $100 or so upon property which ho afterwards mid. This swindling scheme was planned and executed in con junction with his twin brother , who was a'so ' a notorious crook. Bo h were after wards arrested , through the agency of Datcctlvo Neligh.

Judge McCnlloch yesterday rendered a decision in the cess of Foster & Lucas against Pcpporburg , In this action the pUlntiits sue for value of rent which they nad paid to Pepporburg , in nub-leasing a room near Twelfth and Dong'ai. It seems that Pepparburg had leased the room from a third party , bnt failing to keep up his rent payments , had been ejected. The grounds sot up in deftnsa were that , Inasmuch as the room waa sub-leased for gambling purposes , any oontraot baaed thereon was worthies ) from a legal point of view. Judge Mo- Culloch has had the case under ndviie- ment for the past three daye , and has concluded that the cntract ; was worth less , and that hence no damages could bo claimed for violation thereof. Accord ingly judgment was entered for defend ant , and the gambling element once moro given a black eyo. RAILKOAD NEWS , The Trans-Continental urlmlnntlng the Employes Personal and General.

The Union Pacific oiliclals have corc- pletod formal Investigation of the cir cumstances of the Amos disistor last Sunday morning. They find that the responsibility for the accident reals with the crow of $ o. IS , ( west bound ) nnd it is probable that the engineer and firemen of tbat train will bo discharged. Two essential rules were violated in the act of the craw of the train. In tbo Qrat place , the oiden were positive tint they should stop to identify train No. 8 on the tiding this they did nut do , but wore rushing past the station at the time , intending to mike no stop. Again , the conductor of the train should have signalled No. 8 be fore pasting it or oven attempting to pats It , oa the side track. In both of these points there was gross dereliction of duty.

They bored so far into the material of the lafe that when the ponder der exploded it made a ho'o through the thin metal and left the lock unbroken. Thu fact of failure does not loisen the criminality of the intent , and the com pany may rejoice that bungling prevented - ed a robbery. Luckily , bad the porpo- trutors of the outrage opened the safe , they would hive found nothing valuabl bocauie the money had been removed The dtmigo to the eafo b not material.

Vandorbllt'fl Purchase nf West Shore Bonds a Hoax. ipcciol to'o ram to the BEE , NEW YOUK , March 3. Wall ttroet is ex- remely skeptical ns to the truth of the report sonoernlnj ? tUo purchase by Vandeibllt of 3,000,000 of West Shore bond ? , and several persons in a petition to knowp all the facts Jld not hesitate declare the rumor manufac .ured . out of whole cloth. One prominent inker Bald : "This CHcago rumor is on a jar with rporti which have for months been ircditlcg Vandcrbilt with the purchase of a argo interest iu the West Shore road , As to ha sale of any such a lot of bonds that is .baurd. No banking housa or bank bad any iuchbonds of the road , nnd'no such sale could mvo taken place without the knowledge of iVall street. The only statement In the dis patch which may be true is that the Vander- lit brokers have been buying up West Shore ionds when small lots were offered at low rices. There is reason to believe hat such is the _ case. " Another , ; entleman connected with railroad manage' ' inent said the "rooort I believe baa no founda ion. In tli9 firat place the banking lunso ro- ened to had and taa had no such amount of lands. The firm of Window & Lanier is vidmtly meant. They have perhaps a mil- Ion and a half worth of bonds bought for .heir own account , and for customers. This .mount was magnified apparently to S27.0UO- .00 . worth. As to their having the needed eady money , that rumor WAS exploded long IRQ. The house ia ono of the strongest in the : ity. .My own explanation of the report is .his : All railroad men working in the /underbill Interest are instructed to pread stories to the effect that Vanderbllt ; ontrols or will control t'o West Shore line , iuch stories are used ia keeping freight from .ho . ] West Shore road. Local managers go to leavy shippers , and warn them that if they give their business to the West Shore they will bo cut off from all special rates on either " .Vest . Shore or Central when Vanderbilt takes onttol. This policy has had the effect of liiihtening a good many shippers away from he West Slaoio , No such enormous amount if bonds could have boeu transferred wltheut Wall btroot getting wind of the operation , hecks would have to pass and several banks vould know of the matter.

The 'ealousles among aspirants for cabinet po- itlons , then the distribution of thocpolls , , bo divisions in the party in regard to policies , the silver faction and the antl- ilver , the free trade and the protection 'actions ' : all those betoken anything but a mooth sea for the new craft.

The com missioner of pensions , whoso name Is Clark , was before the house committee 3n pensions last week ta give information In regard to pension matters. He was skod what his politics woro. Ho declined to answer. I should hope Mr. Cleveland would not bo very long in finding a succeetor for him , If ho only selects a union soldier.

THEUE WAS A DENOUEMENT yesterday on the s'lver question in tbo house. It will ba remembered that a ow weeks a o a self-constituted commit- oo of New York bankers cillod on Mr. Cleveland and requested him to use his Influence with congress In favor of stop ping the further coinage of silver. lie very politely and proparly In formed thorn that ho was not yet president. It was a piece of impertinence foi these monled aristocrats to have asked htm to interfere at all In the matter , iiat bo took a sensible view , and refused to bo used by them. So far , so goad. II ho bad adhered to his refusal , it would "ave been all right with him in this rospcct. Iho tilver ni ii in thehonto , fearing ho might tike a position In his inaugural an togonistlc to them , addretsod to him i letter asking him not tu commit himioll either way on that question. This wai proper enough , as sue ! i a course wonlc not embarrass any of his friends. The letter was signed by about a hundred democratic members. In replying to their request , his letter , they claim , AMOUNTS ALMOST TO A COMMAND to pass a bill suspending the coinage ol silver dollar * ) . The tilver demcc a s are indignant acd don't hetitata to give vent to tholr indignation in not very cholci terms , declaring that he had attempted to interfere with their porogatlvea of leg islation and ho int yet president. Yes terday Mr , Randall moved to ausponc the rules to take up tbo sundry civil bi ) with & clause attached suspending the coinage cf diver , and It was voted down by a large majority. The movement , therefore , to prevent the further coinage of silver is dead for this cession , as I hope it 'Mill ba for the next , Some democrats said to-day that if Mr. Cleveland wanted to toako an iisue with them on this ques tion , they art ready for tha fight , 'llms hat tha incoming president involved him self in a bitter controversy with a largo portion of his party , and ran upon breakers before his athniaistiaUon ban begun , Many democrats regard the Uklng cf Bayard , Garland and Lamar from the senate ITH TJ1UEE STRONGEST MEUllEKH on tbo democratic a'do ' , as a mlstiko , and their friends regard it aa a mistake on Ihtir part to have the senate , when they could remain during tholr natural live * ; but they seem to bo booked for the taSlnel. In regard to the bn'aneo ' , Mr. OlovoUnd rnsy surprise the country as much ns Gen. Grant did when ho sent the iiamoi of his i-aMnetto ] the ocnatr. He had kept tboin a profound secrit. I well remember the astonishment crontcd by the announce ment of A. T. Stowatt , thn hundred times millionaire motchant of Now York , lobe secretary of the troisuty. Ho bad never mingled In politics ; no ono knew whether ho claimed to bo a republican or lomocrat ; ho WAS oti'y ' known as a very rich Orojins. The astonishment was not eseonod when the name of Adoloh E Borie , of Pennsylvania , to bo secretary of the navy , was announced , half the senators went to Cameron's seat to In quire , "Who Is Borle ? " Mr. Cameron 'cpllod ' , that ho did not know , except hat ho bollvod there was a retired merchant In Philadelphia by that isino. When the name of E. Ilockwooil loarof Massachusetts , wai announced or attoinoy-gonoral , the question was ag in asked , "Who Is Hoar. " Ho was > nown in Massachusetts as an able law- er , and was a judpo of the supreme : ourt of that state , bnt was scarcely mown outsldo of it. The nominations were at once confirmed , as no ono was willing to interfere with the president in ogsrd to his cabinet. The next day , a ucmbor of the house named Jonckoa , rom Rhode Island , a kind of walking mcyclopodla , especially in the law , mid , 10 guessed the cenato had bettor look up he law and see if Stewart was eligible or the treasury portfolio. The law was oxsmlnod and found to prohibit an Im- mrter , or ono engaged in foreign com- neroo , being secretary of the trouury. Stewart , who was taken wholly by sue- irito at his appointment , was EXCEEDINGLY ANXIOUS TO SERVE. and when bo hrard of the disability , amo over to Washington and vis'ted ' enatorj , to eee If a law could not bo passed removing the difficulty In his uo. But to his disappointment and disgust , he bad to stand aside. Grant hen selected ex-Governor Boutwell , of MsssaohuB Us , fcr the treasury , thus committing the mttttko of taking t ro cabinet olllccrs fr < in the same state , vnloh his never worked well , and did not in this rate. Hoar oervcd about a 'oaraid rca'gnod. ' Ho had very ut f r u- latj ways a. A manners , harsh and 'ab- aptofuii'lmea [ almost insulting. Hoof- ended a hrio number of toaatorawhllo ! 10 w.is iu the cabinet , ! ! and when Grant nominated him for a juatlco of the su- irome oourr , the nonato rejected him. L'ho'o was no question of his Integrity or rgil ability , but ho inltned a position on .he bench of the supreme court of ho United States , solely on account > f his disagreeable manners. 3rant afterwards informed t'ho ' writer that ho selected Stewart for the. ; rc8Bury because he had accumulated such i vabt fortune in his private businets ; hat ho , therefore , would bo a good man .0 manage the finances of the country. Borio was taken as much by surprho as the rest. Ho did not want the office , but accepted it at Grant's urgent request , served about nine men hs and resigned He said to the wii or , after he had lift the office , that ho was no moro fit for the position than onoof ] your western Indians Is to run a country spelling-school. Ho treated the matter rather aa a joke. If Joe McDonald ia left out cf Cleve land's cabinet , there will be war in the Indiana democracy. JOHN M. TUAVEII. 1VES.TEHN NKWS. DAKOTA.
