Anotlier bold street car robbery oc curred lustuvonlnj ; about 0:80 : o'clock on Park avenue , the circumstances of which \vero very ntjnrjy fiimilar to tlio rob bery committed .Monday evening. The driver of car NO7 was confronted by a stranger , a revolver placed to his head nnd ho was ordered to hold up his hands. lie complied with the demand , while the ' robber proceeded to go through the cash box , securing $15 in caf-Ii and $ .J worth of tickets , the usual contents of the box. The thief then mado'his escape with the plunder. > - ' KACTS AND ilriMIKISCENSUS. On his way to l ie olico ( after bearing of the robbery , the newspaper man boarded a street car. "Do you carry a gun ? " asked the re porter as ho took thu liberty of occupy ing the front platform by the driver's dido. "No. Why doou ask ? " "I thought perhaps it might strike you naagood plan after the recent adven tures which befell two of your brother drivers. " "Well say. pard , it's pretty plain to mo that you never experienced much with crooks and 'agents. ' Now whut gnd cud a shooter do meV" and the John drew out this ijuery with such a contemptuous swaggering air that the reporter at once apologi/ed for being about ami modestly confessed hin ignorance of the utility of liroanns. "lo ) yon t'ink fur a minit that , of a duck walks up t'roo do gloom wid a biggun .shoved up to me snoot and guvs me do order to yield dls box dat 1 am goln to hesitate in obligln' 'im , well , not of Jerry Toner knows do val-yoo nf his oxibtunce , an' I kinder t'ink ' duthe does. " After thin exceedingly "lough" declar- ntion of principles the driver went on testate state that it would bn sheer HOIIMM O to refuse a highwayman what ho demands. Street car drivers aro-after night tall in constant appreheiHionof | a "holdup , " when running out on tlio suburban end of the line with an empty ear. It seems that a pistol would be of little bcrvico as u brigjind IB not to be distinguished at ili'Mt sight from an inollensh ' < > passenger who signals the car. Drivers are nn- jnedlately interested in protecting ; the faro box as they are held good for their losses. When robbed on Monday night it was Woodrieh , thndriver , who lost $1 ? and not the company. This bccma'a hard exaction hut upon studying the Munition it will appear as ( lie cum- pany'H only protective c-ourMi. DUhonext drivers might embtv/le. the funds in their trnst and account for Iho Fliortage with nil ot cock-and-bull "hold " manner - - ups" nnd robberies. Drivers are paid from $00 to $15 a month. I'pon entering service they arc requested to deposit $15 as a trust guar antee am ] llfteeji days'pay Is always held biiiik on them , so that the company is protected on each driver by at least & : K ) , nnd It seldom occurs that the faro box atone ono tinio contains nearly tills amount , t Is the frequent habit of drivers when out on n lonely itretch of the Hun to put the greater jiortlon of the cash in their pockets or hide it in tlio folds of their r.ips , ho that if they am robbed of the bo.\ the lost ! will not bo so heavy. About two weeks ago , ono of the drivers who oari'lps a pHol was M-ippcd on Siumders Btrcet by two men. The driver answered HID halt summons byblazingaway atone of the highw.iynei. | | and tlio bronchos , lal.hig fright , liusiled the ear out of further danger btifuro llin marauders could recover from their surprise and HJiinu , Trto jeaisagrt tills wintof ono of Iho utri'Ct cars was assaulted by murderous fooupads who first announced their pres ence bj shooting the driver.

Judge McCnlloeh rendered his deel- cion yestonlay in the celebralr-d habeas corpifs ca. o of llobcrt Poland. Ho de cided to relea e the prisoner , nnd accor dingly the somewhat notorious "Windy Hob" is free to go where ho Ihtolh. This decision Is not so impoitanlln Itself , as ints \ cu'eet upon the method of procedure heretofore practiced In police court In banishing criminals from the city. Judge Ale < ; ulloeh , in reviewing the decision , hold as follows : The judge entered criminal .judgment against the prison r and pa rd sentence upon him. lie then entered by way of notation a statement to the effect that he , the pris oner , could leave town at once ami avoid the execution of the Kentenee. He then i. ' ued a mittimus and placed it in Iho ollloor's hands for .verviw , provid ed the pri-onor should be found in the city after a certain time. Now a judg ment in criminal action must bo definite nnd certain : There must ho no alterna tive. In placing the mittimus in the hands of the olltcer and allowing thu ollicer to rearrest Poland , after his re turn to this city , the judge reallv vested that ollicer with judicial power to de termine whether the conditions of release have been complied with. This is mani festly wrong. Further , no police judge lias a right to banish a man trom town. And after that has been done and the man returns to the city to roarrost him on the old mittimus , is , in cll'ect , enforc ing a sentence which hns bo remitted. Judge Stenberg has disposed of a good many cases in tins way by allowing them to leave town in prefeienec to Kerv- ing out a sentence in thp county jail , and has succeeded in ridding tlio city of a great many objectionable- characters , lie claims that he does not suspend I he sentence , but merely suspends the i-Neeu- tiqn of it for a short time. He says that this has been found the most practical way of solving the dijliculty. To send every vagrant or suspicious character up to the county jail would bo impossible on account of limited capacity. There are already over 70 city prisoners there now. Hy allowing a man to leave town rather than serve a term in jail , tlio practical cuds of justice are subsi-rved. Judge MeCulloeh in conversation with ascribe about the matter ycM-ordav said that he wanted it understood that his de cision did not prevent , a police judge from having a man arrested ami then of fering to drop the prosecution if ho would leave town at once , "it seems to mo that it would be just or practicable to do that , " lie said "as to pass sehtonce anil then allow him to leave. If the fellow failed to keep his promise and returned to the city , he could be rcarrested and sent to jail. " Railway Mattcro. LOf .U , NOTf,3. The Union P.ieilie and Chicago and Northwestern have now , en route from San 1'rancifcco to the seaboard , a train of twenty new cars loaded witli whale oil , tins 'year's ' catch. The train pa.vses through hero to-day. Each car is placarded with flaming red letters tell ing its contents and tlio route of ship ment. F. A.

Never did a plainlill' , without doubt , back a pica for personal damages in such n peivonally damaged condition nud it is probable that no man over before lived through hitch a complication of injuries its this Jacob Halm. He allege.rlniC ; on August ID , of this year , he purchased a ticket of the Union Pacific from Omaha to South Omaha , Tlio ticket did not stipulate what train to take on thu journey , and the defend ant boarded the "Denver" express , igno- r.mt that it was not scheduled to stop at his d ttinutiou , Thu conductor took np liis ticket , hut informed him that thu train did not > top at South Om ilia Ho- forcHiilm iould determine ( jo ircnrse oflit > ii illst.ilion . w 11 rt i ' < i > I in was hu tled by the br.ike- mnn lo the platform , his baggage pitched off and himself ordered and iwdsted in jumping to the ground.

Sheridan of the war department asking him to investigate thoroughly the alleged grievances of the saloon-keepers at Fort Sidney and make a Rpcedyroport thereon. it may bn rcmomborod that sonio tirno nio , Col. Morrow , the commandant at FortSidnoy , thinking to reduce thu ratio of drunkenness aiming tlio soldiers at his post , determined to commence the selling of beer at Fort Sidney , in connection with the amusement ball , in order to obviate - viato the nece.ssjty of the soldiers trotting to town every time they wanted to in dulge. He .succeeded well in his venture , as it is claimed , and the soldiers urn kept from going into town and indulging in periodical sprees. The rat'o of drunken- ncs it is furthermore claimed , has been materially lessened by the measure. Hut this slate of affairs do-s not exactly plca-e the saloon men of Sidney and they commenced to remoii-trate against it , inasmuch as , loM > w the trade of the boys in blue , their receipts began to fall oil * rapidly. They pre < . "ntod a petition of remonstrance to Col. Morrow , who in turn decided to refer it to Col. Henry , acting judge advocate' of thn department. Last week tliatollicial decided that the sale of beer at the post without a license was perfectly right , in it.self.and from ale- gal standpoint , inasmuch as the state in cedingto the military authorities the res ervation , ceded to them also the rights of government therein. The saloon men , not content witli this , have sent their statement and petition to Washington , and heneu the order for the investiga tion. tion.Gen. Gen. Howard says that he pronounces 110 opinion on the ease of furnishing beer in the "amusement room" lo soldiers. lie. re.markri , however , that some meas ures which restrain those wlto are al ready "drunkards" have in bis judgment a tendency to encourage young men , who have not before drank , to form habits of drinking liquor. Whether this is the case at Sidney , in vestigation will show. Tlio Democratic Prlmarien. The democratic primaries ooour to day and will select delegates to the coun ty convention , which iiiiots Saturday , nnd will nominate candidates for the comity offices.

Tlio case of the women who are to bo tried for spiling liquor without a license came up in police court this afternoon , but as the detectives who procured the important evidence did not put in an ap pearance , no testimony was taken. A motion to dismiss the e.'ifecs of Mrs. Thompson and Fay Shnpard on account of errors in tlio complaints was argued at length by their nttorner , Parko God win. City Attorney Connell opposed the motion , nnd was uphold by Judge Sten- berg. The evaminatfon of the women was then -ct for 10 o'clock this morning. Marshal Cummings announced yester day that he had secured evidence against Madam Wilson of the lower Douglas street establishment , and accordingly a warrant was issued for bur arrest on a charge of selling Honor without a license. Shu will appear this morning and give bail. A detective was sent around to the place Tuesday night , in the role of dandy and wealthy sport , and succeeded iii buying several boltle.s of champagne. Her case has not been set for hearing yet. This ought t-o set at rest those who are growling against the marshal on account of an alleged partiality in enforcing - forcing the now order. IH It Tjegnl ? The question of free school books now before the board of education is creating considerable interest among all citizens who are anxious to advance the public schools of ( lie city. It is reported that W. A. L. tiibbon , the only member of the board of education who is opposed to tlio change , will , if the free book syotom is adopted , endeavor to have an injunc tion Issued to prevent the hoard from making tlio neee Fary expenditures. It is tliu intention of those in tavor of thu scheme to consult the best leg.il authori ties in order to ascertain whether such an injunction could lie sustained in this state. It appears to be the general opin ion that no legal obstacle can bo placed in the way of the change , but the board of education propose to move cautiously in the matter , and bo sure they are right before they go ahead. The legal aspect of thu ease will bo d-'cus ! < ed at the com mittee meeting next Monday evening. A Hit ot'i2\perlenuo. A communication has been received at this ollifo from Jas.
