Knight , OK- county eoinniii ) ioiior , ami Daniel < 'ondon of Columbus , in this state , bid for long- haul wotk the Inlter being the lower. It is entimatcd that this year at lens * ? r > ,000 will bo expended in this work , which will open to tins city a nunibci of roadways which are now in an almost impassable condition. At .m avenge of 15 cents per yard , this would make a showing of about 100,000 cub'o ' yards of grading , which would a fiord work to a largo number of men und horses. Although the bids were opened , iho contract has not yet been nwnidid When the propositions wcro opened there w ere but tw-o commissioners present.

I'urcell had made the remark that ho would make Ins accuser pay for every day thai he was confined in jail , and the judge warned him thai if be attempted or threatened vengeance after he got out of jail he would receive a thirty days' dose on bread and water. A seedy looking stranger , slightly un der the inllncnco of liquor , stopped into the Paxton and asked for a room lie w as told that the house was full , and re quested to move on.

For some time past the sports of this city have been endeavoring to arrange a light between Patsey MeNally of O'Neill and Pat-oy luloon of Chicago. The latter is the especial protego of "Parson" Da vis , the well-known sporting man of Chicago cage , ami is said to bo a pugilistic won der. Ilo has already fought several bat tles and has eomo out the victor every lime. Ho is now with Jack Itnrke , who endorses him as the coming heavy weight champion. Physically he is very like MeNallv , being tall and heavy. The battle , if it is ever arranged tor , will doubtless bo a hotly-contested and high ly interesting ono. u Yestciday , however , Mr. Fallen received - ceived a letter from MeNallv , who is now in Hapid City , Dakota , which makes IVr very doubtful whether the fight will over be arranged. He says that lie is now on the Kapid City nolioo force ami is loth to enter the prize ring , for fear ho will have to give up his position. This may put n stop to Iho pending negotiation- * . The light , if it lakes place , will occur in or near Omaha. Harry Is a Hail Hoy. The lirst complainant in polieo court yesterday sd terday was Mr. Sohrauer , who wauled to have Harry Sincere arrested. His story was to tlio effect that when Mr. Sincere ills cere wont east some time ago to place his children in an orphan asylum , ho loft Harry in his ( Mr. S's ) care. Coupled with the power of temporary guardian ! > , ship , Mr. .Sincere left a request that if Harry should run away , or in nny way comport himself in u manner unbecom ing a dutiful ward , ho should bo ll'j resU" ! and placed in the care of the police. Mr. Sohrauer claims that of late the boy does not eonio homo , keeps very late hours , runs in the worst of company > and is altogether fast becoming an v icious youth. Accordingly he requested that that the boy bo arrested Judge Stonbergg.ivo him authority to have his unruly ward arrested by ono of th < i po licemen and the boy will probably bo be hind the bars before nighl. The charge preferred ngnuM him will bo that of va- Awaiting Trial. Charles Traoy , Jerry Kernan ami Pat rick Hoylan , the members of Iho gang ofS burglars whoso arrest was chronicled yes ! terday , are still in jail awaiting trial. ll.tj Striimpand Cornblad.who bought iho cut tj lory stolen from the store ofV. .

The ev t- deuce against the entire gang is very ron- cluivo and it is not at all unlikely that they will tike a trip "over Iho road. 1) ) The police are certain llial the o arrests will break up the band of burglars who have been operating in Omaha lately.

Well , at the last passenger meeting of the western trunk lines , ( he Milwaukee asked the Hock Island lo slop the commission on St. Paul business. The Milwaukee per haps felt that as its line from Chicago to the Minnesota capital was the shorter , it would get the business any way , forget ting , doubtless , that the Hock Island by a faster schedule covers the distance in about tlio same lime. The Hock Island refused to accede to the proposition and Milwaukee j went homo and slashed the rate , from Chie.tgo to St. Paul.

The train was pulling out at a good pace and in the daiknoss of the night the engineer was unable to see u freight train run- lining slowly in the same direction ahead. An lubtant later the locomotive of the passenger dashed into the caboose of the freight , knocking it Into match-wood . and derailing u half do/.on cars ahead. . ' The passenger train checked with a sud denness that pitched tlio occupant * of the coaches from their berths and scats. hi the forward day coach a lo ensued and il is reported that a lady IS trampled upon and injured in the scram ble. Nearly every passenger d olV at the lirst fright before the extent if the damage-or further danger was know n. The freight train sutlered by far the worst. Tlio caboose and two. of the cars were wrecked and a line of bo\ cars were turned upside down in the ditch. Three ! of the crow were sleeping In the cabooje ut the time , They were spilled In every direction and ono of the lirakemen was seriously , it is said fatally , hurt. The wreck was cleared in a short time and the pa-r-iongor with a now locomotive went on , arriving about an hour late. Particulars were dilllcult to obtain yester day. Peed nml Fortune Telling.

' 1 hey are doing everything in their power to precipitate hostilities by persecuting the Mormons who have plead guilty to charges of polygamy. Furthermore , these leaders arc s.vstem- atieally dividing up the church property among the members , so as to evade tins provisions of the Kdmunils law to the oiled that church property shall be sei/.od by the Utah commission , and disposed offer for the benefit ol the territory. When asked about the militaiy side of the question as. to whether the troops at Salt hake would be increased at once ( Jen. Howard replied : "You can draw your own conclusions. I will say this , that we only fight when they make Us light. " Col.
