All day Saturday thcfo was heavy

found wUiloin , as though they wore in
posM'sbion of a great secret All of them ,
however , Inrvo been so close mouthed
that it was only witli tliu greatest dilli-
cully that a reporter for the HII : ;
learned that n great movement in de
partment of tlio 1'latte niilitary cireles
\va < ) being coiu-uniimited , and discovered
EOino tew particulars of what that move
ment was.
halo Friday night a
might have been seen tot nig up tins lull
toNuird (3en. ( Howard's house on North
'J'wenty-seeond slrecit. Ho foil ml that
worthy military dignitary at home.
When the telegram was opened the ex
pression on the hitler's faee was MHIIC-
thing beautiful to behold. It wai one of
mingled astonishment and concern , lien.
Howard at once mnnniotied his ambu
lance and .drove' lustily down to the
I'.ixton hotel Whore hu met Assistant
Adjutant ( general Uruck. The two were
closeted together for SOIUP tune. Soon
thev went down to the military head-
quarterH. , Clerks were summoned and
put to work. The entire force labored
until a late hour and hoparated to meet
again this morning. Some impor
tant papois were drawn up , consisting
of orders for transportation , provisions ,
etc. ( Jon. Carlin was Satur
day morning instructed to pre
pare at once to dispatch .some
troops from this point. He was in-
fetructod to get all four companies In
readiness to leave the post at once , re
serving only ten men to remain on guard
at th barracks. All preparations were
siieodily made. Mattery D , with their
light cavalry cannon , wore put into trim.
They were taken down to the depot , held
there for about half an hour when a
special train on the Union Pacific pulled
into the depot. The soldiers with
all their accoutrements weru
speedily placed on board and at
about hall past three o'clock the train
pulled out for the west. This section is
in command of Alaj. ISawlos and their
destination is Fort Fred Steele. Gen.
Carlin , under orders from ( jen. Howard ,
who Is in turn acting by instruction of
( ion. Scliotleld , holds the other compan
ies at t ho po-jt ready to leave cm a mo
ment's notice.
As already intimated , the entire trans
action was .shrouded in mystery , so far
us the causa for the movement of the
troops is concerned. ( Jon. Howard and
Wen. Urook. when questioned about the
matter , -aid they could not divulge any
thing as v > t. " .lust wait a day or so , "
they chorused , "and we'll tell you all
about it. At present our lips are sealed
anil wo can tell you nothing "
"What can yon say about the destina
tion of the troops ? " \ \ allied of Gen.
Howard. '
"Nothing , "
"When do you expect them to return ? "
"lean't tell \ on anything about that ,
cither. You'll know about the whole
thinjr in good time. "
Tins was all that could bo wrung from
cither Gen Howard or Gen. Hrooic. They
drew the line strictly at the mm commit
tal point , and refused to step over it. The
impression around army headquarters
was that these troops'are to bo sent
out to Salt Lake City to quell a serious
Mormon disturbance which is imminent
at that point. One army ollicial , whose
name is withheld for prudential reasons ,
assured a ltii : : reporter that ho had every
reason Id believe that this was the cn o.
Investigation in other quarters confirms
this theory , fum in all probability it is the
correct one , ,
"There has been a great deal of
trouble brew'mgin Utah and particularly
in Salt Lake , " baiil a gentleman , who
Is well posted , "and the battery that was
sent west to-day is goin ; ; direct to
1'ort Douglas in anticipation of a collis
ion between Mormons and Gentiles. The
arrest and eb'nviction of many Mormon
leaders for'pdlygam.V , and their incarce
ration in the penitentiary , have caused
an Intons'o , bittot and revengeful feeling
among the Mormons , and their leaders
have decided to retaliate in kind.
Some weeks ago they imported
fiomo notorious women from San
I'raneisco'and ' .Denver. These women
sent letters to many prominent gentlemen
to visit them , aiul in quite a number of
cases invitationswore accepted. It was
simply a trap to oa'to'i them. This be
came known when one of the deputy
United States marshals was arrested on
the char o'bf fornillcation with ono of
these imported women. The arrest was
made under < a city ordinance. The
deputy marshal was taken from the cus
tody of tho-city authorities by a writ of
of habeas corpus by the United States
authorities , ' Who 'declared the city ortll
nance invalid because it exceeded the
authority 'granted ' by the legislature.
The other night another deputy
marshal1who ' resided in n very
narrow street , was assaulted by
what h claims wore four Mormon assas
sins. In tli melee he dr.iw a revolver
and shot ono ofthem , , indicting a dan
gerous wound. ' , The Mormon papers de
nounced the shooting as the act of an as
eascin , and claimed that the deputy mar
shal had assaitlted the four men whom
ho met. The p.ipers called upon the Mor
mons for blood atonement. The excitement -
ment has increased from day to day. and
threats are being made that the whole
Gentile population will bu cleaned out.
The Mormon papers also announced that
they had a list of the names of several
hundred names of Gentiles who had been
living improperly and lb.it arrests would
follow. The result wasthata largo num
ber of Gentiles loft Salt Lake on short
notiOii Imagining that they were to bo ar
rested. Tin ! trouble in Salt Lake has
arlhon from these various causes , "
Yesterday there were no now local de
velopments 1 i the matter Up to a late
hour none effort tin ) remaining troops at the
fort had beoi .Hunt out ,
Uuu , Howard , when questioned yester
day , remarked that the seal was still on
Ins lips , and that ho could say nothing at
nil on the subject of the movement ol the
troops.

anything aboul who ho was. Yesterday

shortly afterward wandered oil * again
He did not return , and Mr Smiley ,
thinking that he might bo fro/en to

were unsuccessful , however , and soon
gave up the attempt. The man's name

sum total of the contents of his pockets.
Around the jack knife was part of an

A reporter for the HEH , upon looking
at the body Saturday , remem
bered having seen the man
in police court. The records
showed that a man by the 11:11110 : of
John Meyer had been arrested on
Wednc-day by OfHcor Shields , and that
ho in every way answers the description
oft tlie dead man. Ho was adjudged
mildly demented and was released by
Judge Stenberg- Nothing further about
him is knownexcept thathe was probably
a vagrant tramping through the country.

F. E. Mack , conliued at the ct5r ! jail on
a charge of stealing an overcoat from
Marcus Dohn , was found dead in the cell
Saturday night about 11 o'clock. Slack
was arrest d early In the afternoon by
Ollicer Turnbull , and when ho entered
the cell seemed to bo in good health. A-
0 o'clock ho called to Jailor Piorronotfor
a drink of water , which ho drank , re
marking that it did him lots of good.
That was the last ho was known to
speak. He then stretched himself out on
the cell bench and fell into a heavy
slumber from which ho never awoke.
Jailor Sigwart , noticing _ tliat tlio man
had nut moved since he iirst saw him ,
entered the cell about 11 o'clock and dis
covered that Mack was dead. His body
was still warm and ho _ had evidently
been dead only a short time Coroner
Jre.\el was notilicd and transferred tlio
body to his undertaking rooms , whore an
inquest will be held this morning. In the
dead man's pockets nothing was found
to establish Ids identity. A notebook ,
containing a number of drug recoil ) ts ,
lead to the belief that ho was a drug
clerk. Foi some time he has been board
ing at the Gees hotel , where ho. was
registered as F. K. Mack , but nothing
additional is known about him. Ho lias
received a number of letters during
Ins stay postmarked St. Louis. His
shirt , collar and culls were marked with
the namp "C. Anderson. " Ho is about
110 years old , witli , dark brown hair , a
moustache and a goatee of three weeks'
grotli. . It is said that ho was ad dieted
to the IISQ of opium , which might have
caused his death.

Carl Winterstecn , a smiling faced
young German , was broi.ghl into the
police fetation yesterday alternoon by
Ollicer Matx.a and locked up in a cell.
The charge entered against the young
man was that of being a "pimp , " and
Louis Heimrod was designated as tlio
complainant. A few moments after his
incarceration a cab drove hurriedly up
to the. door of the jail , and Lottie Combs ,
a notorious prostitute , alighted and in
quired for "her Carl. " She was not
allowed to enter the cell room , but con
versed with the young man at long range.
"The mean thing- ! , " cried the girl ex
citedly , "they want to separate us , but
they can't do it , can they , Carl. "
"Yell , I should say not , " replied the
young man.

"No , I'll stick py you , " replied Carl ,
emphatically.
"I'll eomo back and see you again , "
replied the girl , as t > ho slowly lull the
Inquiry revealed the fact that young
Wintorstoon lives at Uoairico , but on a
former visit to Omaha became infatuated
with Lottie and , it is said , married her.
His parents are most respectable people ,
and when they beeamo aware of their
son's disgraceful alliance , endeavored to
foi en him to se.ver his connection with the
woman. This tlio young man refused to
do , Carl came to Omaha again Saturday
night and immediately went to tlio house
where his onamorata is staying , where
ho was arrested yesterday. It is said
that his parents , in order to force him to
break with the girl , induced Mr. Ileim-

The railways nro just completing n
movement which will lend more te
Omaha's commercial importance than
any tr.ifllc step that has been taken with
in many months ,
The Milwaukee is taking the initiative
to bo followed by the other roads of the
Western Fielght association to center in
Omaha Its western terminal business.
An agreement has been reached with the
Union Pacilio whereby the services of
that road's local agent will be divided
among thn railways now centering tit the
Council BlulTs transfer. Air. J. M. Ousel ,
who is acting agent of the Union Pacific
at tlio depot here , will noon the comple
tion of tins arrangement , January 1st.
become the joint agent for all
the roads centering at this
point. After that date the transfer busi
ness of the eastern ro.ulsill bo done
hero and the terminus of the eastern
roads will be transferred from Council
Hlutl's lo Omaha. It had been intended
to put this plan into effect December 1 ,
but lack of facilities forced delay. The
clerical force of the transfer will bo
brought from Council Blull's to this side ,
and tor that purpose thu Union Pacilio is
now enlarging its freight olliccs at the
dojiot.
This now departure will bo a great
advantage to Omaha and will facilitate
railway business. Whereas a shipment
eastward had to bo billed hero to Council
Itlull's and there ivbillud to it.s destina
tion , the work is lo bo done for once anil
all on lliissido. This will savemueh delay
which the double clerical work entailed.
Tlio grand ellecl of it all is to mnko
Omaha the virtual terminus of all the
eastern lines centering in Council
Hlnll's , pending the time when the bridge
shall be completed and the "Gate City"
becomes in lad the center of the great
railroad systems which now are com
pelled to only touch its outskirts.

"It Is bettor to bo born lucky than
rich , " is an old saying , but it is hard to
convince mankind in general that this is
a fact. There is , however , one man In
Omaha who is linn in his belief that the
old saving is all right , and that man is
John Donohuo , better known us Captain
Donoliuc , ex-cnntain of the police force
of this city.
About forty years ago Peter Donahue ,
nnelo to Capt. Donohtie left his homo in
the Emerald Ulo and eamo to America to
make his fortune. When the gold fever
broke out in 1818 lie joined the throng ,
hurrying on to California. The la t Ins
relatives heard of him lie was making
money very rapidly in the mines. For
many years past Ins relatives have heard
not Inn" ; of him and it was generally sup
posed that lip was dead. A few days ago
notice wasgivon through the newspaper- *
that Peter Donahue luid died in San
Francisco leaving an estate of $ l , ( h)0- ) ,
030 to bo divided among his surviving
relatives.
Upon reading an account of the death ,
the captain set to work to ascertain
whether or no the recently deceased
Peter Donolmu was his long lost uncle.
Cireiiuiftances led him to believe that
such was the ease , and developments in
the case put so favorable alight upon the
matter , that the captain is now confi
dent that ho will come in for a good
share of the large fortune loft by the de
ceased. As near as the captain call tig-
nro the time , there are but eight living
heirs , including linns. . If. As the properly
will probably bo divided equally between
the heir.s. the captain's share will bo over
one million dollars.
The captain left Saturday for
New York , Irom where he will < ail sail
for Old Ireland to secure proofs which
will speedily enable him to come into
[ > ossc sion ot his share of the mammoth
fortune. He has employed able counael
n this city to look alter the matter and
s very eonlide.nt that all will turn out
.yell. During his term as captain of po-
ice and also as a private eki/.on Air.
Donohuc has won the respect
ind esteem of nil with whom
10 has come in contact and
.hose who have been fortunate cnougl to
H'come intimately acquainted with him
lave always found him to be true blue in
ivory respect and one to whom a friend
tan tic. His hosts of friends in this city
iVish him a pleasant voyage across the
) riny deep and a safe return to the land
of his adoption.

of hisgarmenls and displayed his bhnpe
ncased in only nature's g.irb "Let
somebody come on , " ho shouted , bran-
lishing liis lists m front of his bony
roast.
In a minute the pugnacious prisoner
iltracted. the attention of all his com-
lanions , and Marshal Cummings , Tom
'ierronet and two or three policemen
crowded around the cell dour.
"I'll accommodate you , " remarked a
'ellow unfortunate , and in a second both
nen were hammering a way at each other
with might and main.
"Time ! " called the marshal , as the two
two retired to their corners. Tom Pier-
onct , who acted as referee , decided tlio
ight a draw , and ordered the men to do-
"hc'shako ' bans and quit , " said the ag
gressor , and the two men advanced ,
trasped digits and then collapsed.
