In the jnilor's private apartment in the
county bastllo yesterday morning sat a
wclldrcssod nnd ratlicrlgood-lookingyouth
aping softly. The young man was Mr.
Donnld H.Allan the clerk in the emploj' of
the 15. & M. , who had been arrested for
altering and lorging railroad tickets , as
an accomplice of John L. Gideon.
> > About two months ago , Mr. P. S.
Enstls , general passenger and ticket
agent of the Burlington & Missouri , was
ruling homo in tliu street car when ho
heard two strangers talking about rail
road tickets. One of them who had just
returned from a trip over the Burlington
was telling the other about some pecu
liarity in the ticket , which ho had pur
chased very cheaply at a bro
ker's ollico in . Omaha. Mr. Eustis
listened and pondered. Ito came to
the conclusion that there was "a nlggor
in tlio wood pile" somewhere , and deter
mined to ferret the matter out. His first
move was to procure n ticket similar to
that ho heard spoken of by the man in
the street car. After some difficulty ho
succeeded in so doing. The ticket was
subjected to tlio closest scrutiny. Jt ills-
closed the fact that it was a ticket which
had once been used and then unlawfully
altered nnd li.Nod up &o as to bo sold
without detection. A slight piece
was missing from the ticket and
with the absent piece was carried
oil'ono of the punch marks. In addition
to this a big "B" was punched in the part
of tlio ticket where the second punch
mark had been. The ticket , as it stood ,
indicated that it had been presented by its
owner to the railroad company's baggage
agent and been punched by him as an in
dication that his baggage had been
checked. The ( ticket was good for the
the regular price of the regular faro over
the road between the points on the B. &
M. specified on the ticket. Little by little ,
the facts were brought out in successive
stages of investigation , and about four
weeks ago Air. hustis found put that
young Allan , a clerk in the auditor's de
partment , Wiis engaged in the forgery.
Ho quizzed him about the a I lair per
sistently , and finally got from him a con
fession , which is said to be complete in
every detaij. Other evidence was pro
duced showing that Gideon was the ring
leader in Iho scheme , and yesterday that
worthy was placed under arrest. Later
in the day the B. & M. attorneys appear
ed before Judge Steuberg and swore ont
a warrant for Allan's arrest , oil the fol
lowing complaint :
Donald B. Allan , the 23d day of Do-
ccnibor , A. D. 1885 , in , the county afore
said , and within the incorporated limits
of the city of Omaha , aforesaid , then and
there being , did then and there felonious
ly and falsely forgo and counterfeit a
certain railroad ticket purporting to bo
issued by the Chicago , Burlington &
Quincy railway company , good , for one
first-class passage over tlio Burlington &
Missouri railroad in Nebraska , from
Pacilio Junction in the state-ofjowa to
Denver , Col. , fdaiil 'ticket so feloniously
forged and counterfeited purported to bo
from a number F-141 ; said ticket was fel
oniously forged and counterfeited by the
said Donaldf Bi Allen , by pasting to
gether parts of two cancelleil worthless
railroad tickets having been originally
part of n ticket issued by the C. B.
& Q. , good for ono first-class
passage over 'the B. & M. , from Pa-
cilic Junction , la. , to Denver , Col. ; said
ticket had been used between said sta
tions , taken up by the * said B. & M. rail
way conductors and cancelled by punch
ing , the fisimi ! in the corner thereof. The
portion containing said punch mark evi
dencing said cancellation was torn
therefrom and n portion of another
ticket corresponding in color and form to
the part torn from Said 'cancelled ticket
from Pacific Junction to Denver not hav
mg any punch mark or evidence of can
cellation thereon was pasted and fasten
ed to the said ticket so as aforesaid Pa
cific Junction and Denver and the whole
ticket fraudulently made , forged , and
counterfeited in the manner and form
aforesaid had the appearance of a genu
ine ticket. Said ticket of value of $10.
( Hero ticket is 'explained as to what is
printed on it. ) With intent to unlawfully
defraud and contrary to the law.
iui'usin : : TO TALK.
Gideon and Allan wore both vis
ited in Iho county jail by a repor
ter yesterday , Qbut declined to talk
about tlio matter of the altered tick
ets. Allan would not admit that ho
had made a confession to the B. & M.
officials , but replied rather shortly that
ho had nothing to say. Col Smytho , his
attorney , who was standing near , re
marked that ho ( Allen ) might have made
a confession but it was more than proba
ble that ho had boon frightened and bull-
do/.ed into so doing.
At 11:150 : Allan and Gideon were brought
into police court. Judge Stenborg not
Allan's trial for Monday afternoon at
3 o'clock and tiktoon's for Tuesday
afternoon at the tame time. The
bonds of both wcro fixed at
I $1,500 , being unable to furnish which
both were taken back to jail. Allan was
attended by his two sisters , Misses Ji sio
and Mollie , who are nearly broken
hearted over their brother's plight.
WHAT Jilt. 15USTIS SAYS.
Mr. Eustis , the general ticket and
passenger agent oi Iho Burlington &
Missouri , was waited upon by a reporter
for the liiiR yesterday shortly after ho had
granted a conference to the sisters and
friends of Allan who had come to in
tercede iu the boy's behalf. Answering
the lending query of the reporter , Mr.
Eiibtis said that ho did not propose to re
f mit the prosecution against cither Allan
or Gideon. "How can I do itr" ho con
tinued. "I am bound to push the case
against dishonest employes , to protect
the other olovks who have proved faith
ful. Otherwise I should bo placing a pre
mium on dishonesty. Personally I feel
very sorry for Allan and his family , and
would much rather let him go. 1 can
not look at the wife and child of Gideon ,
without heartily wishing that the poor
devil were out of his scrape ; but as an
official of the road which has
been wronged , 1 am bound to
sot aside my tooling * and prosecute those
follows. It makes no ditVoronco to mo
whether the court , after they are con
victed , imposes on them a lignt sentence
of imprisonment. My duly is to see Unit
their guilt is fastened upon thorn. "
"Then Iho pleading of the families of
the accused wil not change your course ? "
"Not n particle , Wn shall go right
nhoad with the prosecution. The best
thing that the two young mon can do is
to plead guilty. Both of them have mudo
tome complete and exhaustive confes
sions of Hum1 guilt. "
"What is the sum of their operations ? "
' 'That ' it is. Impossible to state. There is
jvo way as yet ot lieu ring Iho amount. "
It is thought thai the guilt of the whole
transaction rents with Gideon and Allan
alone , A third man IsMispcfted , but no
conclusive evidence against him has yet
boon obtained. Most of ( lie , traiutulunt
tickets wcro disposed of jo loeal broko"s.
Av largo package pf them was also found
hv A IU'it's ' room nnd was ttirned over to
" 'e James UavU before the arrest.
BOUNCING A Finn FIGHTKft.
ilnrslml Butler Thlnkn Ito has the
Necessary Authority.
Some weeks ago Tony Ilcrold , ono of
lie plpcmcn of No. 8 hose carriage , was
lisclmrged , for cause , from the lire de
triment. On last Tuesday night Ooun-
ilman Furay , of whom Ilerohl is a con-
titucnt , Introduced a resolution into tlio
council providing for an investigation of
ho expulsion and an examination of the
authority granted the marshal to dis
charge any member of the lire depart
ment. The motive of the resolution , as
vas also expressed by a petition of Her-
old'g , was to be reinstated in the former
) osition. To ascertain the position of
ho marshal in tlio premises , a BER re-
) ortcr asked Mr. Butler his understand
ing of the casn.
"There's nothing In Horold's petition
at all. " ho said , "tnat I care for. Vnray
\ynnts to make it appear that I have no
ight to discharge ) or employ a man , but
10 will find that lie is mistaken. There
s an ordinance which provides that en
gineers shall bo elected , and there is an
other which says that the mayor may
employ , not elect , stokers , drivers , etc.
But that docs not say that the mayor
must , and that I can not employ. 1 have
been doing It all along , anil have been
doing itvllh the expressed approbation
of the council. I couldn't get along un-
ess I did. The lire department ought to
iavo the best men. How could I get such
men if they might 'violate the rules and
still defy my supplying their places. So
far as Herold's petition is concerned
: hat is all right. U won't , do mo much
lann nor him much good. The whole
natter has been rcferreu to the commit
tee on lire. I ain't afraid of the finding
of that committee. I've already given
.hem my side of the question. I might
iavo in Herald's case long before I did ,
and for cause too , but I acted leniently
with himadmonished him of his failing a
eng time before I discharged him No ,
wo have an excellent lire department ,
and wo couldn't have it if the mar
shal didn't have some authority. I fear
hough , there is something more than
examining into my right to act as I have
ictcd. If Ihero is it will , of course , como
: o the surface. Bill it won't help the po-
tionor's side. " Assistant Chief Gallagher
stood by and corroborated all the mar
shal had said.
BUCKING TUB CAISSON DISEASE.
How the Union Pacific Physician
Proposes to Prevent It.
Meeting Dr. Galbraitli , the Union. Pa
cific physician , a day ago , a BKE reporter
asked , "What lias become of those mon
who have been laid down with the cais
son disease ! "
"They have all been cured and dis
charged from tlio hospital that is , all ex
cept one. I think his name is Lonly or
something ot that kind. He'll be all
right in a few days. He's now able to
je up and aroundand with the exception
of occasional pains in his back , is all
ight. Those pains will be removed in a
few days. " .
"It is said you people propose to guard
against other cases in the future. Is it
; rue ? If so. how do you propose to do
it ? ' ' asked the reporter.
"By taking care of the mon. Selecting
none but slrong healthy men , leaving
aside those who are weigntcd down with
superfluous llesh ; looking after their diet ,
retiring quarters and halms. We'll have ,
no man who abuses himself or deals over
moderately in intoxicants. We'll have
the men work with the least pressure ,
arid limit the hours of labor to n shorter
period than at present , and then insist
upon the men taking rest regular and
prolonged. In this manner wo hope to
be able to rob this infliction of its terrors
and inspire the men with a confidence
and knowledge which will be of benefit
to them not alone while they work for
us , but also for others in any capacity. "
ANOTUEIl CASK.
Since an interview with Dr. Galbraitli
on the means of preventing the caisson
fever was put in type , the report has been
circulated that another man had fallen a
victim to the peculiar aflcclion. A visit
to St. Joseph's hospital , yesterday ,
demonslraled that the report was un
founded , One of the lirst victims , how
ever , was still laboring under the oflccls
of his attack , and was found in the U. P.
ward. He is a young man , 20 years of
age , and named W. J. Killale. ' lie looked
weakly , though previous to his attack ho
claims to have been strong and hearty.
Ho stated to the Bii : ; reporter that he had
worked at the business some time , and
had been able , when in the lock , and un
der the caisson , to sland Iho "full pres
sure. " On the morning of his attack ho
felt weak and began to experience addi
tional pains. He climbed up the shaft
with difficulty , and just as ho reached the
fresher air at the top , ho became almost
senseless. Ho ran to the shanty , where
his logs failed him. The exterior of the
abdomen became ribbed , and rubbing
failed to restore it to its wonted surface ,
while internal pains racked him with in
tensity. His associates laid him beside a
red hot stove , his body beniK not more
than two inches from the iron. Even
that failed to warm him , whllo perspira
tion rolled from him in streams. He was
finall.v taken to the hospital , at times
sufleriug intormitlenl pains in the head ,
and constantly unable to nso his limbs.
He is in that condition at tlio present
time , and it cannot bo foretold when ho
will be able to bo again about.

Col J. 11. Hunter , West Point ! "Oh ,
there's nothing now up in West Point , ex

The U. S. Government Pays a lillt It
Owed Him ftjr Fifteen Years.
Away back on the 20th of May , 18TO , be-
bre the Biu : eamo into existence , Deputy
Sheriff Urcbo was sherilT of this county.
U that time two men , Wm. Slovens and
John Crouuse , passed through this part
of the country , ostensibly as emigrants
westward bound. Hero and-there , in
Washington , and Dodge and Sarpy coun
ties , places through which they passed , it
was found that counterfeit ten-dollar bills
narked their progress. Judge Dundy
iva.s then on the United States bench ,
lolding court , and W. 11. Morris , now
judge of the First district was
ictmg as district attorney. The United
Slales marshal was absent , and the people
ple were clamoring to have the sliovcrs
of Iho queer arrested. Both these ollieers
requested and strongly solicited Mr.
[ Jrcbo to follow and apprehend them.
Ho consented and traversed Nebraska
.ind Missouri and finally came up with
.ind arrested them in Sarpy county. Ho
searched them and their wagon and
boxes , but could find no evidences of
Lhoir guilt until , finally , boring into the
barrel of an old musket , he fished out
twenty-four $10 bills. This was all they
liad loft after having flooded the country
with national "ilinisy. " They were
brought to trial and convicted.
In his traveling , Mr. Grebe expended
$215 of his own money. He immcdialely
presented his bill lo Iho government and
liiul it refused because he was not an U.
S. ofliccr , and consequently Was not in
the employ of the general government.
Lie induced Iho lirsl Nebraska congress
man , Taaftt to look after the payment
of the bill , in Washington but with no
success. Every congressman from Taaft
LO Valentino has also worked upon il ,
but slill Grebe's money came not. One
week ago , he wrote Senator Man-
dcrson , and yesterday to the former's joy ,
congratulation , happy .smiles and exceed
ing patience , after fifteen years of wait
ing , ho received a lotlcr from United
States Comptrolcr M. J. Durham , stating
that his claim had been allowed and will
in a fo\v days bo passed upon in the ap
propriation. It is needless to remark
that Mr. Grebe smiles and further that
both Judges Dundy and Morris will also
smile when they hear of the tardy pay
ment.
QUAIUtEIj.
A Wife Who Is AfraUI of Her Hus
band Pawned Jewelry ,
Some months ago Madame Matta Molt
married William II. Gould , a gentleman
connected with the South Omaha Water
works. Mrs. Gould's enemies , for she
had some at the time , insisted that she
was an adventuress of doubtful charac
ter , and that Mr. Gould was doing him
self an injustice by giving her his name.
This may have been true and it may not.
Certain it is that she has not lived at all
happily with him , but on the contrary
their married life has been one of con-
slant trouble. On several occasions , as
Mrs. Gould says , she has boon abused
nndinaltruatcu by him , so much so , in
fact , that at times she has been in
danger of her life. Mrs Malta
Molt Gould is a rather handsome
woman , of tall. Juno-like proportions.
She dresses well , and her "appearance"
is somewhat distinguished. About tlio
time of Iho marriage Mr. Gould made his
wile a present of a handsome set of jewelry -
olry , which added decidedly to her
charms. A few days ago Mrs. Gould
pawned a part of Iho sol , and her hus
band , afler raising a storm with his
wife , roplovoned it tlirough u writ served
by Constable Hiislin. A day or so after
wards , as tlio result of several stormy
quarrels with Mr. G. , Mrs. Gould de
termined to have her husband arrested
and put under bonds to keep the
peace. _
How liallard Appears.
Yesterday , Iho dnto originally fixed for
tlio execution of Thomas Ballard , tor the
murder of Henry Vcrpoorton , dawned
bright and clear. Ballard , in his cell in
the rounty jail , appeared to bo unusually
light hearted , and conversed freely with
a reporter. lie commented on tlio fact
that the 20th of January might have been
his fatal day , and with a smile remarked
that ho was very glad that the execution
had been put oil" . "I don't want to hung
at all , " ho bald , musingly , "and I don't
think that I ought to.
Ballard has aged ftmifullyOsinco Iho
day of the commission of the crime for
which ho is incarcerated. His hair has
grown several shades whiter , his com
plexion miler , his face haggard and care
worn. His expression , however , is not
that of blank imbecility which character-
i/.cd him during the first few months of
his imprisonment ,
Ballard reads almost all the time , and
his cell is full of books and papers sup
plied to him by the kind hearted jailor ,
Joe Miller. He drinks very little whisky
now. His imprisonment has done him
some good at least it lias cured him of
drunkenness.

Ireland Talks.
"Aro you a slaughlor-honso or a pack-
iig-houso democrat ? " asked a BHE rep
resentative of Frank P. Ireland , of
Nebraska City.
"Well , in the way the distinction is
made I am a slautclitcr-houso democrat.
IJut I want it to bo understood , never
theless , that 1 am a democrat in no way
desirous of being identiliad with any
wing of the party , and 1 am sorry lhat
any such division lias been made. "
"Have you read the articles in the
"Herald" in which reference is made to
Ihal wing of the party lo which Iho
liloody name is givenV"
" 1 have. "
"What do you think of thorn ? What
do you think of Dr. Miller , who is pre
sumed to bo responsible for them ? "
"I think he has made a mistake , and I
must say that 1 am ashamed of him. "
"Why do you think he commenced his
warfare ? "
"Simply because ho was disappointed
in getting the ollicc he wanted. "
tV\Vhat ollico was that ? "
"Why , the position of postmaster-gen
eral in the cabinet , you know. "
"Have those articles attracted much
attention down your way--in Nebraska
City , for instance ? "
Yes , indeed. Our people , honest republicans
publicans and democrats , feel lliat Doc
tor Miller has been actuated by personal
motives , and that his attacks nave been
cruel and uncharitable. The people in
Hie southeastern part of the stale lake
just the sumo view of it ? "
"What ground has Dr. Miller to at
tack J. Sterling Morton ? "
"Well , I must say I don't know. I've
known J. Sterling Merion for some time
and I know that lie has boon a consistent
democrat , and to save mo I don't know
why Dr. Miller has set out to antagonize
his old friend. "
"What docs Morton think about the
attack ? "
"Well , of courcc , you know tliat Miller
lias not lately had much to say in an open
manner against J. Sterling Morton. But
the articles to which you refer have , of
course , referred to him in an indirect
manner. But I can say Ihis much , lhat I
never liavo heard Mr. Morton make use
of one unkind remark about the editor of
Iho Herald , and I can challenge any man
to prove the contrary. "
"Who is going to be marshal- ?
"I am. "
"What about Dr. Bear ? "
"Well , the doctor is an excellent man ,
and ho may get thero. "
"How about Frank Galbraitli ? "
"Well , Frame is another good fellow ,
snd Iyouldn't paj * ono word against
liini , cither. But I was joking when I
Said I was going to reach tlio riosilion.
But I'll loll you this much , that , if either
of these men get thci'9 Iheylll got , there
without half as many recommendations
as 1 have. Now let me tell YOU. I've got
Hie recommendation of' Judge Brewer ,
Judge Dundy. Judge 'S vago , Judge
Thurston , Judpo Pound/Judge ? Cobb ,
Judge Maxwell and a libsb of others that
I can't name. "
"Is Dr. Bear Dr.Miller's favorite ? "
"Yes , I think he is , and if ho gets th o
posilion 1 won't find fault. I ddn't know
lio\y many are backing Galbraitli , though
ho is just as good as either of us. Oh ,
yes , I've got the recommendation of
your county , and nearly all your leading
citizens. I've got the recommendation of
the supreme bench , nearly every slalo
ollicer , nearly all Iho district courts , and
every dcmociat in the last legislature
except ono , and bo's a man I never
asked. "
"Who is that ono man ? "
"He's right hero from Omaha , but I
never asked him for a recommenda
tion. "
"Who is thai , Kehoo ? "
"Oh , no ; Kehoo has recommended
mo. "
"What is his name ? "
"He's John A. McShane. "
"Why didn't ' ho give you a recommen
dation ? "
"Well , ho might perhaps have recom
mended me if I had asked him , but I
didn't.
"Has Dr. Miller or Mayor Boyd given
you a recommendation ? "
"Neither of them have endorsed me ,
but Dr. Miller has srivtm me a very warm
introduction to Mr. Whitney , secretary
of the navy. "
"What have you done with your en
dorsements ? "
" 1'vo sent them to Washington , to Mr.
Garland , ami I've got more which 1 hlmll
forward in a short time. "
' Don't these endorsements have lo bo
scon by the president ? "
"Yes. Oh , yc.s , " with the last two
words prolonged. "But 1 got word from
Mr. Cleveland , that is , through his sec-
relarv. Mr. Lament , to file ray papers
with Mr. Garland. "
"Do you know Mr. Garland , parson *
.
ally , v.i
. Yes , and ho is ono of the finest gentle
man J know. 1 believe to-day ho is one
of the best lawyers in Iho United Stales. "
Hero Mr. Ireland turned on his loftsido
and looked very intently at the reporter
and inquired :
"Why doesn't Biorbowor resign ? "
The reporter admitted his inability to
answer the qnc.slion and asked in return :
"When does his term expire ? "
"Three years from next February. It
is rumored that Bierbowcr has said that
the present is his last term of court. "
"Have yon spoken tel Mi1. Boyd about
Mr. Biorbowor ? "
. "Yes , Ho said , ot course , that ho was
not particularly interested in Mr. Bier-
bower continuing in ollico'and I think
inclines to favornis stopping down and
out. You fico , Mr. Biorbowor can't do
any good to his party under the present
circumstances. I5esides > tlie 'o have been
charges made against him./ ' /
( lAr you sure of that ? "
"I urn. "
"With whom arc thoy-'filod ' ? "

Anderson Lewis , a colored man , who
has been in the employ of Sam King , the
Capitol avenue saloon man , was ar
raigned in police court yesterday morn
ing ona qlmrgo of stealing $ ' , ' 0 from his
employer.
Ho eagerly protested his innocence ,
while King as stubbornly protcslcd that
ho was guilty. It was proven that Lewis
had given a woman $3 a day or so before
and as ho was known to have no cash of
his own and had bcon given none by
King , it was argued that ho must have
stolen it.
"I done got dat money tree months 'go
jedgc , " said Lewis , "ncbcr liab used il
sciice. I do' no nollln' about dal $20. "
"You mean lo say that you liavo kept
that $2 for Ihree months without spend
ing it ? " asked the judge.
"Yns , sah , I nobbor drinks nor shoots
craps , and so I had no cause to spend
do : ? 2. "
Judge Stcnbcrc ; refused to bcliovo the
story , and as it was proven in addition
lhat Lewis had on several prior occasions
been arrested for theft , ho sentenced him
lo pay a line of $50 and costs. In default
ho was taken to the county jail.
