The matrimonial market is dull ex ceedingly dull just at present , and evidently needs some stimulus. For four whole days not a single marriage license has been issued in the county court , and the clerk who has had charge of that branch of the business has gone to sleep , nml will not bo disturbed until there tire new developments. According to the hymcnomcter , however - over , there will bo something for him to lo in tlie not far distant future. The surface of the dial of the wonder ful instrument , the predictor of local matrimonial events , is already aglow with u dull , phosphorescent light. The index hands Hit nervously around , changing with lightninglikerapidity from ono quarter to another. They stop. Glancing at the dial , one notices that two names , dimly outlined , are pointed out by the hands. Ono is that of a gen tleman in the lithographing business on Fourteenth street , between Douglas and Dodge , the other that of a young lady employed in a largo dry goods store on the corner of 1'iftcenth and Douglas streets. The bride-to-be is a charming brunette , recently from Pennsylvania , and highly popular among her associates. The date of thu nuptials has not yet been fixed. Again tlio hands move around. This time they point to the name of a young man Am ployed by a hardware firm on Douglas , between Fourteenth and Fif teenth , south side , which is unmistak ably linked to llio name of a young and fascinating widow , whose residence is not so very tar from the corner of Twenty- fifth and Davenport streets. Tlie lady in question has many admirers , but the hymenometer has all the necessary facts at hand to enable it to state positively that the young man indicated is the preferred one. The scent of orange blossoms is plainly perceptible in the neighborhood. It is whispered that the happy event is to transpire next spring when the flowera first bloom and the birds all como forth to greet the world with tune ful lay " Another fortunate young man who is soon to leave the army ot bachelors for that of the benedicts according to tlio hymenomotcr , is the manager of a book linn on North Sixteenth street , south of Capitol avenue. Ho is soon to bo wedded to a young lady resident of Philadelphia. The ceremony , it is believed , will take place next fall. A Policeman Investigated. The trial of Martin Shields , who was suspended from the police force two woolen ago , was hold yesterday afternoon before the poliec committee ! of tlio city council. The charges against him were for being drunk and using profane and obscene language and for arresting Ed ward Wilson without provocation , The testimony against Shields was similar to that brought in the trial of the Wilson case in police court , which was reported in full nt the time. Mr. Jn'mc's Croighton apuoaroiLfor the prosecution , question ing the witnesses closely and winding up the proceedings in a forcible speech to the committee. The witnesses for Shidlds wcro Captain Cormiok and sev eral members of the police force , who testified that Shields was a good otliccr and that ho was not drunk on the night in question. Tlie question arose as to the condition a man must bo in to bo drunk , but it was not satisfactorily set tled , one ollicer testifying that ho would call a man drunk who wus entirely unable to walk. After a two hours session the commit too adjourned and will make their report to the city council next Tuesday evening. Among the few petitions against the election of members of parliament yet lodged , is ono against Air. Puleston. formerly a partner of Jay Cooke , and much mixed up in "Litllo Emma.

This will greatly shorten tlio distance by rail from Omaha to Lincoln , so that tiie run can bo made in less than two hours. The Union I'acllic , Northwestern , St. Puitl and other roads will also contribute thi'iriioti ( | : of rail-laying , and it is esti mated that over 000 miles of new road will bo built in Nebraska this year. A prominent railroad man in discuss ing the plans of tlio Northwestern , said to n Siunv City Times reporter : "Tlio Pacific extension of tlio Klkhorn is under contract for 1I D miles \vest of Chadron. Tlio first sixty miles reaching to the Wyoming line , was lot to .C. 1' . Treat last fall and a good part of the grading is done. The remaining seventy-nine miles was let more recently to Treat , and no work is done on that part yet. This will take the end of the road to a jwint near Fort Fettermvn. The Black Hills branch will bo iinishcd to Ha pit ! City as early as possible. I do not think that the track will bo extended beyond Rapid City until some other company forces an exten sion. "The Northwestern has ono line to Omaha , and lias no use for a second one. The .survey has been made , and the line located , but it will not bo built unless it is to head oil' some other company. Hut the Northwestern will build next season to Lincoln. The line will cross the IMatte about , six' miles west of Fremont. The contract for the bridge over the Platte lias been let ; to Raymond Campbell. The bids for building the Lincoln line arc all in , and probably the contract is let by this time " "Then the Northwestern will build a good dea i of track west of the Missouri this year ! : " "i os besides the Pacific extension , the Black Hills branch and the Lincoln line , the company will build from Scrlbnor , on the Elkhorn line , west into Colfax county. A survey was made .late last season north from Wayne , but that is to keep out any other road that might want to come into what the Northwestern claims as its own territory. " MEUItY SPOUT. The Preparations i'or the Coasting Carnival Notes of the Event. Workmen commenced last night to put the Dodge street course in readiness for the coasting carnival to-night. The work will bo rushed through so that everything will be in readiness for tlio fun to commence at 8 o'clock in the evening. The slide will be eight feet in width , with snow banks on either side , so that tlio coaster can not very well run out of the course even if ho bo so inclined. The main track will be used for large traverses and sleds , and on the south side will be another smaller course for single sleds. Money is being liberally subscribed to make the event a success , and without doubt it will be tlio grandest an'air of the kind ever witnessed in Omaha. To make the oiled all tlio more brilliant , the street , on either side , is to be illuminated with Greek lire. Q Last night 1-10 traverses and 200 sleds were recorded at Collins , Gordon & Kays"to , take part in the carnival. Some oftliohc traverses accommodate twenty people. Council Blulls will send twelve travoi > cc , ono of which will hold thirty- two people. Kach owner of sled and traverse is given a lag which must be in sight. On account of the largo number of tickets issued for single sleds an extra track will bo opened houth on Twentieth street from Dodge to Farnnm street , for single sleds used by boys , and the Dodge street track will bo reserved entirely for girls. Hoys on single sleds will not bo allowed on Dodge street. The order ot precedence will bo : Traverses will start promptly at 8 o'clock with No. 1 trayerso in tlio load anil proceed in routine down the list. Any number not ready when called will lese its turn and come in at the end of the list. After the first call , traverses will bo blurted as soon after reporting to starter as there is an opening without regard to routine number. Vehicles traveling on Sixteenth street will have to pass down Capitol avenue to Fifteenth street and then to Douglas , etc. No vehicles or horaiis will bo allowed on or to cross Dodge street from Fifteenth to Twentieth streets. UN'DEU FAESB P11ETEXSE8. An Old Transaction Calls For n IMan'n Arrest. A warrant was issued in police court yesterday afternoon for the arrest of William A. McClure on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses , the complaint being sworn out by Jack Morrison , who runs the gambling rooms over liornborgcr's saloon , The transaction for which McClure Is wanted occurred iu Juno , 1881. At that thpe lie claiwytl to by the owner of a cer tain Iioula in Lincoln , And \YlsliQU to. tuf pose of it. Ho olun'cd the property to Morrison , and the latter , thinking it a goo'l bargain , purchased it for $305. Hut when ho went to take posses sion of his newly acquired house , Morri son found another claimant for tlio property who disputed his right to it. A suit was thereupon commenced and tlu ; fact wiw developed that McClure was not thu owner of the property. When this fact was brought to light MoClnro could not bo found , and so no criminal action wi < s commenced against him. Since then lie appeared at ono time in Omaha anil Morrison had n warrant issued for his arrest. Before it could bo served , how ever , McClure lott the town. Yesterday Morribon was informed tiiat McClure was again in tlio city and the warrant was ac cordingly issued and placed in the hands of the poliec for service. A Fight nt Durnoy Shannon's. The patrol wagon made a hasty trip to Tenth atrcct and Capitol avenue about 7 o'clock last evening , nml when It returned to the central police station it contained the persons of Barney Shannon , Larry Casey , M. , T. Kinney j > nd Archie McCoj- . The last two n'nnicd each had a lump on the back of their heads , and the other two looked rather pugnacious , Olllccr Done all accompanied tlio prisoners and statctl that ho had found them light ing in front of Bhi-hoy'fl saloon , Kinncy and McCoy being the "under dogs. " All four men were locked up and remained in custody lor lin hour or more , when they secured ball owl were released. The light was a short and decisive one. Kinncy and McCoy had taken n drink in Shannon's place , when some words passed between them ami the proprietor. As they left the place Shannon and C'.isoy rushed out after them and attacked thorn iu the rear. Both men fell to tlio walk , when Oih'ecr Donovan put in an appearance and placed all the parties under arrest. It was evident Iliat Shannon and Casey had the other two at n disadvantage , for Kin- ncy is a muscular fellow and can handle both men easily. THE nUCKlNGHAat 11OMK.

I hope you will pray for mo that I may re sist temptation. " He had read reports of the work being done at the Bucking ham , and ho thought of the union as friends of young men who were .in need of help. Wo thank God that men have found this out and arc coming every day and asking our help. As soon as these young men are converted they join the Y. M. C. A. , and the no.\t step is into the church.

"Do you think it just , that while one man is forced to pay $ lUOH\villi ( a moral character too ) tor running a saloon , another party 4may carry on the same business , only in u more extensive scale , without paying a mile save the United States licenses ? "Does not Marshal Gumming * know of such places ? Has not ho , have not his policemen partaken of tlio brown bever age called beer and sometimes something stronger in tlio cellar bar of the German ! ; ! ball ? "Nor is this the only association , which in direct violation against the Slocumb law , vends , sells or gives away no mat ter which carries on a nefarious liquor trade , that draws , nay , steals away trade belonging to the licensed moral saloon- keener. "Is it possible that in the face of those facth , open , broad daylight prostitution , open , broad daylight gambling houses , open , broad daylight transgressions of the Slocumb law , you gentlemen of tbo Law and Order loiiguo , start aftergame so low , start after the poor saloonkeeper , start for tlie ever granted immoral wretch that pays his § 1,000 per annum for not closing his saloon at precisely 13 o'clock midnight ? Is there no higher , no bettor game for you , than ho ? "With the lixed assurance and convic tion that yon will bo just in any and till of this matter , with the earnest , sincerest wish that yon will consider this matter widely , tbo proprie tors of saloons most cheerfully submit to n most thorough investigation into the moral character of license-seeking indi viduals , but bone that you will , before commencing to shine the well bucket tiie man whom you jjrant a chance of making a living by paying $1,000 to the law plcaiiho. but thoroughly cleanse that- well of pollution , namelj prostitution , gambling houses , illicit sale of spiritual liquors which is so stagnant that it pen etrates the moral nostrils of the growing generation. " THE HEPI.V. With sentiments so fairly and honestly expressed , the league can ihul no fault but , on the contrary , rejoice to find the organization so heartily supported in its purpose by the better class of men en gaged in this traflic. With these men wo have no light , but from the outset believed wo could count on their endorsement and assistance as soon as our work was fairly understood. As to prosecutions of liquor dealers who sell without liccnsu , it is certainly to the interest of those who do pay a license to aid us in procuring testimony sullieicnt to convict. Thus tar wo have been uni formly successful in court , carefully avoiding bringing suit when the proof was of a doubtfurcharacter , choosing to await future developments in many cases. The prosecution of keepers of houses of 111 repute where liquor wn's being sold in violation of law was undertaken by the police department several weeks ago , and before our order had begun ils work which prosecution was eminently suc cessful. Wo find an abundance of work and certainly the better element of Omaha cannot expect us to grapple with all the wrong-doors of our city at once , and we must bo allowed to exercise our best judgment as to tlio course to bo purMied. There 'can bo no doubt as to the results which will follow n careful Inspection of applications and bonds ollcrcd lor a re newal of licenses next April , and if a considerable ) number of irresponsible und law-defying dealers can thereby bo suppressed the millions of the foregoing document will certainly not bo the losers. LAW ANB OIIDCT. THE I'AUIjOU MATCH. Another HuccoBHl'iil Presentation of the Piece. There is little in the Parlor Match that theatre goers have not laughed at year out and year in for some time back. It was made to cause laughter. In this , however , it has not been an " unqualified success , The merriment" with which audiences greet its representation is duo almost entirely to the skill and discern ment of tlio actors. Even travesty maybe bo artistic. Such is tlio work of Mr , Evans.in McCorkcr. It is an exaggera tion , though the details arc worked out by an artist , Less studious us to details is the Old Hess of Mr. Hooy. It is the part , however , which "takes" the multi tude , and , boi'ond question , stamps tlio piece with success , Without it , McCorkcr would bo a failure , Wi th it the Match is even more than its author dreamed of it. Minnie French's "Innocent Kidd" is an imitation a very good one of that of .Jennie Ycaman wno was tlio original in tlio part. But , like all imitations , she lacks the genius of the prototype , as also tlio face , form , vocal gifts and manner isms of her predecessor. There is no other character in the piece , yet songs , dances , cabinet manifestations and such while away the time while tlio umuvel- ing of the etory is taking place , Tlio singing was fairly rendered , aud the voice of tl o tenor is that of a youu.'C jiiwn , fresh aud proud of the exceptionally lino. , , . _ . . . . , VatJ.Ajto Ai aaJhAj in fflfcfr-iafc - y j fflf * a rf .igA.Jg-fc. voice which nature has given Him.

The Law anil Order league arc about to begin a crusade against all dealers in tobacco who dispose qf their wares to minors. Mr. .lames , agent of the league , informed a reporter last evening that the league had resolved to put a stop to tlio sale of lobacco to small boys , and would proceed against nil dealers found guilty of that offense.

The law prohibits dealer * from selling , giv ing away or disposing of tobacco to minors , and for teach and every offense there is a penalty of $2. " > attached. An Exciting Ilumnvny. A double team attached to a double cutter dashing down Furnam street with out a driver caused considerable oxeilo- ment along the street about G o'clock last evening. All who saw tlio horses In their wild career anticipated a dreadful accident , but fortunately none occurred. The cutter unset , however , and was badly ilcmorall/.ed , while the horses con tinued in their flight to the lower end of Farnani street , where they became help lessly stuck in a snowdrift. Tlio rig was tlio property of James Stephens-oil , the liveryman. Tim horses wore compara tively uninjured. Uotilc. California K\cur.sionsl 1 Round trip tickets , good for si v months , $100.
