A woman giving her name as Pearl
Baker was arrested yesterday afternoon
by Ollicers Mat/a and Bloom on a war
rant sworn out by Moses Kountzu , the
veteran hotel runner , for larceny. She
was taken to the city jail and placed be

ccrs Tnrnbnll and Ilorrigan entered
police headquarters having in charge II.
Monroe , a hack-driver , and Charles Hair ,
a bai tender altlic Slavin house , arrested
at * accomplices of the woman.
The woman is charged with stealing a
watch niul ring from Kount/.e , and , with
the assistance of Monrot ; and Hair ,
upending the money realized from the
sale of tlio stolen floods. She acknowl
edges she took them and rather brays of
it , defying theollioials lo punish her for
it. Konnt/e , the complainant , tolls the
story of how the robbery was committed.
lie was walking down Tenth street
Thursday night , when ho met a hack
driven by Monroe and in which were rid-
inp ; Puurl Hakur and Charles Hair. lie
called to the driver to stop and let him
ride , but that individual informed
him that thu hack was engaged.
Koiml/c then remarked that ho had
money enough to buy the whole hack and
the party besides. Upon hearing money
mentioned the woman told the driver to
let Koniit/.ii into the hack which was ac
cordingly done. After driving around
town niul taking a number of drinks at
Kounty.o's expense. I hi ! parly went out to
thu road house. There the Haker woman
succeeded in relieving Kount/.n of his
watch and ring and lelt him in a drunken
stupor , while she and her two compan
ions returned lo the city. They drove at
once lo Kline's pawn .shop and sold the
watch and ring for § 11. and then coulin-
utid their cm nasal. Kntint/.u did not
sober up until this morning. When ho
discovered that lui had been robbed ho
came into the city and made the com
plaint which resulted in the arrest of the
trio.
J'earl Hake.r , the woman under arrest ,
is a recent arrival in Omaha , and some
peculiar stories are told about her. Shu
is a Chicago prostitute , and when shu
reached this city about a week ago she
was entirely out of money. Sim only re
mained in this impc.cuninus condition for
a day or two , when she suddenly be
gan to dlhplay an abundance of
wealth. She frequented saloons
ivud spent her money laviMilv. This gave
ri.so to u .Story that MID had been seen in
company with an old man who' hail a
large amount of money , and that after a
trip with bur one evening ho disap
peared , nml has not since been .seen.
Jnuncdiatoly after his disappearance , it
Ss said , hhe was first Known lo have
nioney. Whether the .story Is true or not
it ) not known , but that tlio woman lias
npent largo amounts is n fact.
Him visited Morse's dry goods
establishment yesterday and purchased a
complete new out lit , including bilk dresses
mul other costly goods. Some of the
raiment which .she had on she discarded
with a sneer , and informed theclerk who
waitcil on her that Mm had no need for
the clothoh any more. Hereafter she pro-
luxes to live in princely stylo. She paid
her bill in full , and shorllv after leaving
the More was arrested for the robbery. She
was Mnncwhat under the iulhiun'co of
liquor nt the time and manifested no
concern whatever over the matter. The
watch and ring were found at Kline's
pawn shop and taken in ehargo by Mar
shal Ciuniniiigi. During the evening
J'uiirl was called on at the police heail-
quarters by a number of friends whom
.si 10 litis uuulu since she has been In the
city. None of Ihcni , however , seemed
to know her unlocedents , and It WHN said
'
that ten dayo ago'slio was u total M ranger
in the city.
Toe Arson ,
Harry llotiel , a printer living nn
Tenth ttrcet near 1'acilio , was nrrustcd
yesterday afternoon by' Olllcer Moy ten ,
charged with arson , and conllncd in the
city jill. : lloltcl , who has been on a
jirotrank'd spree , wont to his home yes

who interfered with the conflagra

although It was found neceisary to
life considerable \iolence to take him
away. The flames were then squelched
nnd the police sent for. llotiel WHS M >
much nndnr the Inllucnce of liquor that
he could hardly walk when thu olllcer
arrived. Ho ii very quarrelsome when
drunk , and was recently arrested for
wife beating. It is thought that his at
tempt lo burn Ilio house yesterday was
( mixed by his desire to spite hi wife , at
whom , in his Intoxicated condition , he
had become very much enraged.

YeMerday Mr. Max Meyer arrived in the
city with his wife after his live months
stay in Kurope. Ho win mot by a re
porter for the HII : : and questioned about
the report of his goods being eiy.cd.
"I can't imagine how llnieportwi9 ;
sent out , " he replied .Inn liingly. "The
fncU are these- I arrived in Chicago Sun
day mid remained there until \\odnes-
dav morning. On Monday night I was
called upon by two custom house olllcers ,
one of them Major Howulls of New
York , and one of them from Chi
cago. They said that they Understood
thai I hut ! some smuggled goods , and
wanted to look over my bngi age. I in
vited them to ttopin , they satiMied them-
jelvi s that duty had been paid on every
thing , and turned the baggage over to
me again. I was not arrested , and the
facts are exactly as 1 have .slated them.
I suppose that I might have .said some
thing about a very cheap lot of goods ,
and Irom this probably the ollieers sus
pected that something- wrong I loll
Chicago yesterday with all of tny goods ,
and none of the diamond goods were de
tained as stated in the dispatch. "
Major Howell arrived in town yesterday
and in company with Collector Campbell

laugh over the matter Mr. Howell stated
to a reporter that he did not come to this
city to make any further 'investigation of

A dispatch to the I5ii : : yestenlav
stated that : i draft of tlio
I'urlington & Mi onri llivor railroad
on the Southern Pacific railroad com
pany , based on the pool commissioners'
award < > f profits lor ( he lirt six months
of thu transcontinental pool agreement ,
has been unhonoreil. On this account it
is said the I ) . & M. lias given notice that
it proposes to withdraw from the trans
continental pool arrangement.
A reporter sought General Manager
Holdredgo yesterday for further light on
the mailer "It is true , " .said that gen
tleman , "that we have decided to with
draw from the pool. The commissioner
made up his statement of the business
done in the last six months. On that
basis wo drew a draft for something over
$10,000 on the .Southern Pacilic , which
was legitimately due us from that com
pany. The draft was returned nnlipn-
orcd. Of course we could do nothing
more than withdraw from the pool , and
.so have given notice. Yes , we propose
to abide by our notice , too. "
"Ho you suppose thu action of tlio H. it
M. , or rather of the Southern 1'acill'u will
precipitate a general war * "
"That I don't know. Kvcr since the
pool arrangement was made some time
last winter , the Southern Paeilic road has
shown a disposition to be hoggish and to
want their own way in everything. "

ing Colorado and Utah ull'uirs , but owing

The following special from Washington
to the St. Paul Pionuur-Prcss will be of
local military interest :
" ( Jen , Terry's annual report has not
vet reached the war department , It is sup
posed ihit ; with it will come thu report
upon tlio petition ot'.tho cili/.uns of St.
Paul for the roinor.ul of ( he headquarters
of tlio department of JMK'ota , from Fort
.SnellingtoSt. Paul , This petition was
sent to the secretary of war , and by him
referred to Oeu , Terry for a report upon
the comparative coM of maintaining the
headquarter : ; in each place , with an u < -
tlmuto of the eo t of removal loSt. Paul.
Army nlHceix hero say that there
U small comfort forthcoming In Ihu
report for tho-e who de.lra Ihe
rumuv d , ( Jen , Turry is uot uunuuUtvd
lo the plnn. He has uniformly held tlm
better service is to bo had when liisstafl
is at Fort Snclling , where he can find his
oflicerfl when ho wants them. There is
another view of U o matter entertained
hire which is intc-iestiliff. On the Oth of
next March Maj , ( > cn. Pope will retire.
The choice of 1 is successor will ruMMii-
bio the recent selection of an inspector
general , where Col. Jones was the
fccnior ollicer , but Col. Halrd
was Ihe senior In ago. Gen. How
ard is the senior brigadier , but Gun.
Terry i.s the older. The drity Of e.x'pce-
tation is toward ( Sen. Terry aS the prob
able choice of thu president. In this
event Gen. Terry would hd ordered to
San Francisco. On this account army
men say thai Iho headquarters will-re
main at the fort until after March ( I.
There is some doubt whether , if Geu.
Terry hould report lavorablv , a ro'ino-
mal could be made before cold weather
fcds in. "
This roiVrpneo to the probable successor
ser of Major-Gen. Pope is re
garded hero as manifestly un
just. It appears by exam
ining the Hegisler that Gen. Terry never
had so high commands as Gen. Howard ,
during the war , and as the president promoted
meted Col Hal rd over Col. .foncson ac
count of his war record , the cases are
plainly dis-similar.- question of age
alone would be insullieienl , otherwise
Crook , Stanley , \Vilco\ , Gibbon and
many others might bo chosen before-
( Jen. Howard. The general appears so
eoulident of President Cleveland's .sense
of juc'lico thai lie has already gone so far
as to sell his house here in Omaha in an
ticipation of ( lie promotion which he has
wailed fore long.
( Sen. Howard has forwarded his annul
report to the secretary of W'ir , contain
ing points of intercit , relative to matters
in this department during the past year
In accordance with ctiitom the report
cannot bo m ide public. Gen.
Howard informed a reporter to-day ,
however , that among Ihe mo-l important
recommendations which he made in the
report was thai the tort groumh be en
larged. At present there is but little
loom and the soldiers feel very much
cramped. It i.s thought that about 10'J
more acres will be necessary , including
a rillo range and grounds for
artillery practice. This will double
thu present acreage oC the fort
grounds , and enable n great many im
provements to hg made. In reply to the
reporter's inquiry ( Sen. Howard said that
nothing more was heard of the scheme
to remove- the fort from ll.s present loca
tion a point about ten miles out on the
H. &M.OIU. . P. railroads. This had
been .strongly talked of some time ago ,
but has been dropped. It , is believed that
the heerclary of war will authorize an ex
penditure for more land around the pres
ent location.
Notice has just boon received at head
quarters that Private. Edward Smith , of
company II , Fourth infantry , who was
court niiirtinled for .sotting lire to a hay
yard at Fort Niohrnn , has been acquit
ted. He has been freed and returned to
duty in his company ranks.
Narrow ICscapo From Doixtli.
.Tames S. Pnlsncr , an elderly gentle
man residing at Mimlcii , Nebraska , had
a narrow escape from death Wednesday
night. Ho came in on the evening train
nnd registered at the Co//.ens house and
was assigned to a room. About 13 o'clock ,
us Joe Needham , theclerk , was on his way
to his room , he distinguished a strong
odor of escaping gas. An examination
showed that the trouble was located in
the room occupied by Mr. Pulsner. An
lifl'ort was made to arou-e that gentle
man , but upon failure to do so , the door
was broken in , and the man found
in an unconscious condition and
the gas escaping in full blast. Assistance
was at once summoned and cllbrts were
made to resuscitate him. Dr. Siiaulding
was scut for ami proper remedies were
npplicd , which resulted in the restoration
lo consciousness about two hours and a
half after the man's condition was dis
covered. It is the doctor's opinion that
if he had been confined in the room a
few minutes longer there would have
been no hopes of having his life.
Mr. Pulsner stated that on relirinc ; he
turned out the ga.i properly , and he
thought that during the night he must
have accidentally tnrneil it on again. Ho
left for his home in Mindun yesterday
morning , thanking his stars that In * had
lived to hce the light not gaslight
i ) nee more.
A New Departure.
The Frair/-Falk Hrewmg company , of

A Tnl \vltli a 1'ii l
A reporter met Charles Mitch
ell , the noted English champion
pugilist , now with the McNish
miiir-trels , Wednesday , and engaged
him in a n'lovl ' talk about matters per
taining to his chosen calling.
Mitchell is a man about live feet eleven
inchcH in liHl ht , smooth shaven , of al
most boyish face , and the llgure of an
Apollo. Ho is very Intelligent , speaks
not at all like the cockney , mid looks and
talks more HLu ati Knglish
than like a mail who makes his living by
bruising.
"Yon may dofpcnd upon ono thing , "
said Mitchell in answcr to the reporter's
leading query , "I am ready and 'anxious
to meetbullivmi. You sen I came over
to this country twith the lioVo of meeting
him and having. with him : i trial of con
clusions. We fought four rounds in
Madibon Square garden. New
York , when the chief of police in
terfered and stopped the light.
Since then 1 have tried to match him re
peatedly , but hd 1ms always made some
excuse. The second time I was to meet
him he came out before the audience and
said he was sick , and would bo unable ( o
face me. I am ready and anxious to
meet him , with bare knuckles , in privateer
or in public , for any sum ho may name. "
"Do you think yon can best him ? "
"No , I don't say that 1 can best him.
Hut mark you , I nave enough conlidenco
in myself to bo willing to try conclusions
will ) htm to light him to a linish. No , I
don't think that Sullivan is a coward ; ho
i.s a slugger , and a good one , but he acts
mighty queer. He is too willing lo
Vrawlish. ' What do I think iibout
the Sullivan-iMcCjillVey light ? Why ,
It was a tnrco all tlio
way through. 1 saw Ilio light ,
but T tell you it was not worth witnessing.
It reminded mu of a rat running away
from n terrier. Mr. MeCali'rov's talk
about whipping Sullivan is all blnlV.
Why , ho Isn I a nurkor for Ihu cham
pion. McCaffrey N afraid to meet me , I
think ; at luiist I have been unable to match
him "
"Have yon tried to make a match with
Sullivan lately ? "
"Yes. i met him in St. Louis a week
nzn l.itlKund.iy , both of IH being with
nurlrnupcs. Some of Ihe sporting men
of that city came to me and asked mo if
I would make a private tight with Sui- ! !
van. I told them yes , kii'-ektes ' or hard
gloves , $ JV ) ( ) or more a side. Sullivan.
however , refu ed to come to time , and
the match was never made. "
"Are there many good pugilists in your
country ? "
"Yc < , I think there are ; about as many
as there are in America. Tug Wil
son is a splendid boxer nnd a clover
man. Greenfield is another good man. i
worilcd him at Hirmingham three or
tour years ago. Jack Hurku is a clever
tactician , but there is one tiling that will
keep him from ever becoming a urc.it
pugilist. Hu can't ' punish. His blows
are light and fall like rain drops. He is
sharp and activu as a cat , however , and
thai goes a long ways. Hy the way ,
Hurko siy < ; that Sullivan can whip any
three men in America. That is all bosh.
The champion is a irood one , but he in't
assmarta.sth.it. Yes. sir. there's coal
ing a time when Sullivan will have to
give up thu bolt , and it won't bu very
long cither "
And with a prophetic leer the great
English champion disappeared in the
darkness.
Kvlilcntly Spite Work.
A. J. Simpson's carriage works on
Dodge street were ; entered by unknown
parties at an early hour yesterday morn

object of the forcible entrance was evi
dently not robbery , as nothing was
stolen , but was for the purpose , of spite
work. Two carriages which were in the
shop at thu time were mutilated by the
intruders , the tops being cut and slushed
to pieces with knives. When they hud

company. The plaintiff applied for an
injunction to prevent the company from

The plaintin" claims that the proposed

machinery therein , inovided ho could
show that this was absolutely necessary.
Consequently this injunction is dissolved ,
