A now trial It asked tor on tlio ground of errors of law in tlie htht , and newly discovered evidence tending to exculpate Heath. An arrest of judgment is demanded beeanso the in dictments are alleged to bo dofeclivo in not describing a crime known to the United States. In indictment 489 G. Mr , Webster claims there is no averment that the letter stolen did not come into the possession of the parties to whom di rected prior to its embezzlement ; and in 188 G. there id no averment thatlho lottoi was intriihtcd to , or intended to bo con voyed by the United States mail.

[ To the Editor. ] If the Omaha business men only knew it they could secure nearly all the trade of this and a dozen other coun ties , which is worth more than fifty of the northern sand bill comities which they arc now running roads through. More corn and hogs are raised here , more goods arc bought and sold , than in any portion of lite northern part of the state with the same area. The only connec tion wo have to Omaha is the Burlington & Missouri , and what is that road doing for Omaha ? All grain and live fetock that is shipped from here goes to Chica go. Our merchants buy dry goods and groceries elsewhere , and jt won't be long before Kansas City will secure some ot this business. Tlio Ihirlingto'i & Missouri is building n branch from Tobias , and this will give us connection with Kansas City. If the business men of Omaha want any trade from the South Platte country , they should at once take stc ] > s to secure it by inducing the Union Pacific folks to build their Stromsburg branch south through York. Fairmont and Geneva. Then they could secure trade from some of the richest counties in the state. Evoiy lire- cinct between Stromsburg and this place would vote bonds to secure this extension of the Union Pacilie. As it is , Omaha .secures none of our business. What will she do ? - V * The Oooil Templars. The largest and most active organiza tion of Good Templars in the city and perhaps in tlio state is Life Boat Lodge No. 150. The lodge meets every Friday evening in tie ] parlors of the Saundcrs street Presbyterian church , this being the only available hall in the northwest part of the city. A new and commodious hall , however , is being erected at the corner of Charles and Sannders streets which will bo ready for their use about April 1st. Sunday night the lodge held its regular quarterly election , resulting in the se lection of the following oflicers for the ensuing three months : W. C. Templar , J. C. Taylor ; W. V.

The lodge intends giving a concert and and entertainment Thursday evening , February 11. An excellent vocal and in strumental programme has boon arranged which , together with tlio "Peaks.es" or PeaKos sisters will insure ono of the best and most interesting cntortainmonU of tlio kind over given in the city. As the concert is for the benefit of the lodge , a binall admission fee will be clmrgou and all are cordially invited to attend and help on the good cause. "Inshnvotfiic. " Tlio engagement of the Vincent com pany at tlio Peoples' theatre was auspic- ously opened last evening , the first presentation ! of "Inslmvoguo" being greeted by a large audience. The popular drama of Irish life , never , it is safe to say , received bolter treat ment in this city. The acting of Felix A. Vinecnf , in the role of "Bryan Me- ( atiiro" was biiperb , and in the various stirring situations characterizing "In- shavoguo" he rose to grandeur which thrilled the impassive of his hearers. At tlio samn time , there runs through his acting n vein of humor which is rich nnd mirth pro voking , The sonbrotto part of "Biddy" was taken by Eva Vincent. She is fully equal to the difhcult role. Her work is characterized by a dash and sprightlincss which carry her at once into thu hearts of the andienee. Miss Adriomo Mitchell cave good satisfaction ns "Kate Me- Gtiiro , " while J. D.

Lixconx , Neb. , Feb. 1. iSpoctal Tele gram. J The live stock sanitary commission visited the state farm yesterday and found that live hogs had died last week with chol era. Twenty-six hogs were innoculated by Dr. Geith some time ago , and llvo hogs known to bo affected with cholera put with them in order to ascertain whether Innocula- tlon was a preventive or not. The result will dampen the ardor ot the vaccine enthu siasts , as three of the Innoculated animals have died with the disease and others aie In the last stagcs. _ Tlio Siilo Conilfinocl.

Beck , Oscar Wilde and James Reynolds , three gentlemen of the town , were arraigned on : i charge of disturbing the peace. Beck owned tip to being the ringleader in the quarrel which took place in iliggins' restaurant Sunday. It seems that Beck and Wilde had taken supper last night in the establishment aforesaid , when they had no money to pay for their meals. They had some quarrel with the cashier and during the dispute the police hove on the scene and carried oil' the oll'enders. Reynolds claimed to have nothing to do with the light , but said that he had paid the price ot the supper to settle the dispute. The .judge released him and Oscar , lining Beck $5 and costs. Fat Ilockbud , the notoriays , again np- pcaacd to answer to a ehargS' of drunk enness. He was lined $5 and costs. "I was not drunk , 1 had the caisson fever , " was the novel tilea entered bv Frank Anderson , agafnst whom the charge of intoxication had been pre ferred. Ho stateil that he had been work ing on the bridge , and had become thor oughly allccteu by the caisson disease , so that ho could not walk steady. "I sup pose that the policeman thought I was drunk , and clapped mo in the cooler , " ho explained. The judge released him. Peter McCullough and John Berg- strom , drunk and disorderly , released. When the name of Dan Uo.ss was called out , the charge being that of intoxication , no one appeared. Judge Stenburg de clared his null forfeited. Tom Stevenson had been arrested on complaint of Mr.s. Caroline Anderson for stealing a music box from her. When put on trial in police court , ho told a sto ry which , if true , makes him out the ag grieved uors onand not the transgressor. Ho said that Airs. Anderson had come to him crying and moaning with a story to the cfl'ect that her husband had deserted her and had left her without any money to pay the house rent. Stevenson gave her $5 and promised to help her any way ho could. Slip thanked him tearfully and proposed to him that ho live witli her and act as her protector. Stevenson consent ed. A clay or so afterwards she sent him out to pawn a music box which she had in the house. Ho took it to Council Hind's and then obtained $1 on it. This amount ho gave to her , retaining the pawn ticket himself. A few days afterwards Mrs. Anderson again went to living with her hu.sbnnd , and demanded of Stevenson that ho bring back -the music box. "If you don't. " she threatened , "I'll hare you arrested. " Stevenson became ungiT at being thus treated after ho had befriended the woman , and refused to got the music box. Accordingly Mrs. A , had him thrown into jail. There was no one to appear ngulu > t Stevenson , and tlio judge released him. It Wns Not Silas. WASHINGTON , Feb. l. Late last week a seml-ollidal announcement was made by the attorney geiicial to the ollect that the presi dent had a fortnight aso pardoned Silas M Walte , the lorinerpresideut of the First Na tional bank ot Battlebcuo , Vt. It appears that a rumor that \Valto \ would bo Hlioitly pauloncd gained some cieclencu about a month ir'o , and a largo number of protests against the proposed pardon were llled by the VeruioutcougrosbmonatUio ctepaitmcnt ot justice. The announcement of the pardon taiew some of the down east congicbsnmii into mental paroxysms. All of them vowed ven geance on tlio administration , and threaten ed all toils of terrible things. Tills morning however , Mr. ( Jailand restored peace and or- tier by the discovery of the lact that the man who had boon pardoned was not Mr. Walte , laloof the Uraltleboro bank , but a man con- ol'Eome tillllngolfciiboor other. The nttoinoy Mineral's memory had simply gone back on him. Mr.Valte o Urattloboro is in the Vermont penitentiary , and will probably krrvo oui the twin , for which ho was sen tenced. _ Crushed in an Ice Chute. Sioi'x CITV , Iowa , Feb. 1. ICuuboil J.

A meeting of represent atives ot the lallways In the Chicago , St. Souls and Missouri Hlvcr Pa cngcr associa tion , which expl led by limitation yesterday was held heio to-day.

How Numerous lUystcrloiiH and De licious Sweet Things nre Conuoctcd. Denver Tribune-Republican : A walk down a pair of steep , icy steps into a dark basement ; an introduction of one's self ; a general glance about the place ; a preferred and accepted chait. This is how a Tribunc-llopnbliean represent- : 'tivo mace his way into a confectioner's factory yesterday and looked on with wide open eyes at the interesting pro ceedings. Three men were at work. All wore white aprons , and one adorned his head with a white cap , which showed that ho was tlio baketC 'His ' operation1 ? attracted the visitor lirst ; He wits making fruit cakes , siirring it with bis banes , and putting forth so much cllbrt that the veins wwo standing _ out as promjnontly hi his forehead as if he had been pitching hay. ' He was not making fruit cake in the proverbial milk pan of our grand mothers , but in a vessel that looked more like an old-fashioned copper kettle such as is used in rrfral ' districts for apple butter making , although it was very shallow and ha'd no handle attached. There was a brick oven in the wall , large enough to have roasted an ox or a man in its capacious ) depths , and while the baker punched and poked at his cake , the great oven was lipatmg and getting ready to bake it. After a time the stirring wa's finished ; mm after pah was tilled with the savory mixture and put in the oven to bake , the small cakes being left in three hours and the largo ones six. The big copper pan was then washed with boil ing water , wiped dry and set in a corner where it would air and dry at the same timo. The baker , who was a chcerv fellow , bakcil a spoonfull of fruit-cake , on a piece of paper and gave it to the visitor to taste. It diflered from a housewife's fruit cake , inasmuch as it was a lanrcjy composed of figs and foreign fruits cut in slices rather than finely chopped. Near the door stood another great cop per pan in which a dark mass was cool ing. When the mass had stopped smok ing , a voting man in a white apron came and. placed it on a barrel. Then ho worked the mixture with bis hands until it was very still' When this operation was finished ho lifted the pan and ran with it to a long table , which was divided by racks into narrow pens , paved with white paper. The young man took one double-handful of the mixture and pounded it down Hat into the pans. Then he got a rolliiiirpin with a checker-board on it , and rolled the brown substance both ways until it was all plaided. When it was finished it was chocolate caramels , which were made of rich cream , sugar and chocolate. Tlio candy man in turn began washing his pans , and the visitor turned his attention to another individual who was constantly boiling white and savory mixtures on a little stove , and who was so silent and grave that one might well have imagined no was stirring up the mystic contents of some wi toll's cauldron. Dish after disli was boiled , and the dainty aroma that filled the air would have tempted the appetite of an epicure THE G1UAUD ESTATE. Au Institution of Philadelphia A Capital of over $10,000,000. Philadelphia Times : The annual state ment of the Girard trust , which is pub lished in accordance with Mr. Girard's will , is always interesting , and never more so than this year , when the income of so many estates has been reduced , The capital of the residuary fund is given at $10,5 111.017. which is about $800- 000 more than the tigures given last year , showing that the estate itself has not suf fered diminution , and the gross receipts , $000.329 , are but $40,000 less than In 1881. This in itself 'is ' evidence of the careful management' of the trust. The gross receipts are about 8 } per cent of the capita ! . Ot this total $217- 077 was expended.iu the maintenance of this estate , more , than one-half of which was paid in taxes. The Girard estate - tate contributed thus but a few dollars less than $11,000 to the general expenses of Philadelphia , besides its direct contri bution in work performed , which must otherwise ) bo done by the municipality. After deducting ttxef and the cost of im provements. repair * and maintenance. there remains a net income of about thrce-qiuirtor/i of a million , or between 0 and 7 per cent upon the entire capital. Out of this $42,210 was devoted to tlio support of Girard 'college , and some $ ' . ' 00,000 reinvested. There are now 1,127 boys in the college , ornearly tlio same number us a year ago , the capacity of the present Iniildings having oeon reached. It is questionable whether the number can wisely bo ex tended very much further. The trustees have been doing what is bettor than this they have been extending the educa tional facilities of the college so as to provide a wjder and more practical train ing for the boys , especially in manual in dustry , The average expenditure for each pupil last year was $ a7'.8i ( , which Includes not only board and lodging , as well as instruction , but clothing and all other necessary expenses , upon a simple but generous ucalo , There is probably no Institution of its kind in the world with a more satisfactory in any way titan that of tlio Girard college. It is one of the Institutions of which Philadelphia can reasonably feel proud. RAFFLING FOR A POSITION , The Novel Plan of the Board of Education to Select a Janitor. OTHER BUSINESS TRANSACTED.

The regular meeting of the board of education was held last evening , Presi dent Points in thu chair , and prcson Miss Decio Johnston , Miss Schleisongcr and Miss Mack , teachers in the Central school , in addition to Members Clark , Coburn , Copeland , Conoycr , Gibbon , Hall and Long. There was also a largo attendance of outsiders , which gradually dwindled away ns the meeting pro- gres od. After the reading of the minutes of the two previous meetings by Secretary Coiioyer , which consumed n good portion tion of the evening , tlio regular order of business was taken up. The renortof the eity treasurer in ue- fount with this board for the month of January was received , showing thu re ceipts and expenditures as follows : Taxes collecteilin December & 3' > , t3VJT Fines eolleeted In .lanuaiy l.HW.OO Licenses I'ollei'ted In January lM > tt.ti ) Amount of 0.

The potjtioii was granted. On molion of Mr. Copeland , the con sideration of plans for a now four room addition to tlio Lake school and a now eight room building , was postponed until the next meeting. A petition was received from pupils in Mrs. Kcysor's room in the central bchool , asking that they bo provided with now .single desks , as the old double ones are ( ut of order , are too binall , and entirely unsatisfactory. The matter was referred to t hi' proper committee. The committee on finance and claims presented a report showing claims to the amount of $10,011.10. Warrants wore ordered drawn for the amounts stated. A bill for $1.40 caused a largo amount of dUcifo ion. It had boon pending be fore the board for more than a year , on account of ( ho irregularity of its intro duction. Explanations were made by the secretary , superintendent and the com mittee on linanco and claims , and finally the bill was ordered paid. The chairman of the committee on sup- lilies reported in favor of purchasing 1,700 No. 8 Bond writing books and 2,500 No. a Bond books. The report was adopted after a heated discussion. The committee on buildings and prop erty recommended that Tim Borthold bo elected janitor of the Castellar school. In explaining the report Secretary Con oycr said that a largo number of applica tions for the position had been received , and the committee had concluded to se lect the man by lot. The names wcro accoidingly placed in a hat , Mr. Copeland - land was blindfolded by Mr. Coburn , and the name of Tim Bcrthold was drawn. Tim was elected. The committee on buildings and prop erty recommended the purchase of lot ! ) , block 12 , corner ot Woodward and Geor gia avenues , for additional school pur poses. The recommendation was con curred in. The committee on manual training re ported that to properly carry on" the work of the manual training school , lathes , an engine and boiler will be re quired , and the committee asked for au thority to procure bids for the same and report at the next meeting or the board. Mr. Gibbon objected to the report on the ground that tlio board did not have tlio necessary funds to purchase the material and at the same time carry out the neces sary building projects. T/ic / report was adopted. A motion prevailed to make February 22 , Washington's birthday. : i school holi day.The The special committee on buildings oflered tlio following resolution : "That the special committee on board rooms and city hall bo authorized to inspect , in conjunction with the committee of the council , plans and details for board rooms nnd city hall , and , if found satis factory , to order advertisements for pro posals for the building. " The resolution was adopted. On motion of Secretary Conoycr , ar rangements were ordered made for tak ing the school cnnsu ? . Mr. Conoyer introduced a resolution setting forth the fact that no money had been received from non-resident pupils since November , 1881 , and requiring the superintendent to report to thu board all pupils in the public schools who are not residents of the city ana therefore sub ject to the payment of tuition. The reso lution was adopted. A resolution introduced by Mr. Long prevailed authorizing the pin chase 01 specimens of the birds and mammals of tnc state of Nebraska , which could now bo procured cheaply. Assistant Principal Henshaw , of the central school , asked that he be allowed half pay for the month of December , while ho was absent on account of sick ness , brought on by extra work clone while the principal was absent. After considerable discussion the request was rcfuoed by a tie vote. A resolution introduced by Mr Cope- Iniid to dispense with the morning re cess in the graded schools , was referred to the committee on teachers and text books to report at the next regular meet- in''of the board. Three proposals to purchase property for school purposes wore referred to tlio proper committee , after which the board adjourned. HOW IT SHOUIjI ) 1JJ2 UONK. Auotlior Carnival Hohcmo--A t'ow "Tho carnival on Saturday night would have been a splendid success in every re spect , " said i.a gentleman to a reporter "had it not boon for ono tiling , The crowds wore so enormous that there was no way of starting the traverses in order. Everyone was trying to gut iiiswlcd down tirdt , and it is not to bo wondered at that tliOAO in charge of the afl'air could not control the howling mob. Now 1 have had some experience in suoh atl'airo and I want to give yon some suggestions as to how a carnival ought to bo managed. "Tho great dilllculty exists Jn starting oft" the traverses or sleds. Onc-o got this part of the problem solved and yon ai o all right. "Saturday night the jam was so great at the ton ot tlio hill that many wore obliged to go away without having hud a single ride , while those who jidssot.-cil the most brute strength enjoyed all the fun , Now my bcheme ( I have been it work very successfully ) i simply this : . In the first place , the whole width of tJio fctrect ought to bo cleared and divided into two Courses. The crowds must be made to stand on the bidowulk , and u sulHcicnt number of policemen ought to be pro- viilcil to see tliat ( hey do. Sow , from tJio top of tlio hill two lon c wooden chutes or stalls , snv ton feet wule , shoulil bo erected , cxtemlinir nboiit twenty feut , down the course. 'I'lio rear of each one of these should have a door that couhl bo easily opened nnd shut. ' One uy ono the traverses could bo al lowed to pass through these Malls nnd once in there , they could bo stinted at the rate of Hvo or six a minute. Four or live policemen at caeh door could easily pre vent overcrowding , In this way be tween 000 or 700 traverses could bo des patched in an hour. Policemen ought to bo stationed along the line for a short distance down the hill to see that no ono tried to got on the track without going through the stalls. Of course the uroo * tion of these stalls would bo somowliat expensive , but the outlay would bo amply compensated for by the fact that every ono could enjoy the fun the weak ns well as thu strong. Again 1 bellovo it would bo a good plan to charge Iho owner of naeh traverse n small entrance fee , say llftv cents. In this way , the number of coas ters would be limited. " It is poil > Io that another coasting cnriuval will bo held hove this year , and those in charge will doubtlu.ss see that it is better managed than was the alVulr of Saturday night , T1II3 SiatMKjTMAX CASK.
