PROP. Thora was Ivotchnm , the Now
York Wall street , broker , who defrauded
the street out of millions. Ho was the
lno of prisoners. Ho had a neparato

vista to wait on bim , and that he ralgh *
mvo Bufliclont inilaonco ia the cstima-

milt for hlmsalf , received hla fiienda in
a legal manner , nnd every holiday rpcnt
rom $1,000 to $1 500 for the benefit of
ho poor unfortunates -nho had not hla
vealth , or depended on the etato to fur
nish them with something outside the
asual gingerbread and appltsa always aup-
illod on ititEo occasions.
There was StokeB , who killed Flak. Ho
waa an atistocrat of the first water. Ho
lined ia the hospital in company with
form Simmons , the wealthy policy player
ou Liberty otreor. They had a eeparto
nble , and a colored couvlct to wait on
hem , and every day the grocery wogon
rom the village drove Into the yard , and
heir orders wore taken for even wine and
i.ata. Sack a thing na restraint where
hose men were concerned was unknown.
Tluro was Davidson , ono of the Tweed
Ing. Ho was transferred from Sing Singe
o Auburn. Ho was a blood of the first
vrater. As soon ns ho arrived in Aubnrn
10 was given sumptuous quarters in the
loppllnl , had his own cook and waiter ,
ana lived like a price j , Ho was very geode
o the aick.
Oilman , the sanctimonious owlndler ,
who defrauded Christian aosoclatlonn and
mutual benbfit ntooclallona to the tnno of
two or three hundred thousand dollars ,
was immediately transferred to Aubuin

irlsou association , with an elegantly fitted

Fish , the banker , has a host of friends ,
and vrlll have absolutely nothing to do

L'ho moment Fish arrived ho was trca'od
Ike a truest instead of a convict. His

or bodily comforts on hand , Rtid the
only thing ho will hnvo to worry him
rill bo his confinement and disgrace. A
rala conductor who vis talking to Fish ,
and who know him many years , says Fish
said : "They will never convict Ward.

decision of much importance to roads intcr-
stcd In cittlo trnllic from Nobrjikn lo Chica-
o , nnd of still greater importnnco to the city
f Omaha. The fact was published some days
tfo that Commissioner Faithorn had made n
rip to Oranhn to examine Into the question ,
egarding through shipment of live stock ,
'ho Union Pacific nelted the privilege of
tiipplng cattle nt local rates nt points on its
otul cast of Plum Creek to Omaha nnd In
vent of the stock not find ! us n
narkot nt tha1 place roahipplng nt the
hrough rates from the point of origin
o CiuciRo. From some stations the local
ntcs to Omnha were higher , and from others
ewer than on through ratea. The Iowa lines
ro entitled to CO par cent , nnd thn Union
'ncifio to 40 per cent. At n recent moating
: io subject wai brought up , aud nf Lor Eomo
iscussion lho commiiisloncr wns requested t < j
xaininu the nuestion nnd submit a report ,

xrday , and la to the following elfect :
"Tho Union Pacific ia not nllowod to mo

icntcd mint bo connigned throughout to Chi-
ago , but it will 1)3 allowed to ( top conglgn-
pentant Omaha , nud In event of their nla the

o the Burlington & Missouri , nnd Sioux City
; Pacific Broads for the reason that In order
o reach Omaha they would divert bminesa
rom their through lines whKh croaa the river
t PlaUamouth nnd Blair. "
The Union Pnsifio will hardly bo satisfied
with the decision as it restrict * lho delay
