The Hii : : a few days ago recorded the
faet Ihnt the county commissioners had
opened bids for Iho grading to bo done
this yonr in Douglas comity. There were
four blddei.s Kli Johi ou and James
fiilmoro bid for the turnpikin ? , each at
three cents per yard. H. I1. 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'luy were Corliss and Tiiumo
Mr O'Keoilb'was out at Hlklinrn and
failed lo make oonneotioas with the train
und consequently w.ib nnablo to bo pres
ent. It has MIICO turned out thai ho had
two bids given him , ono of ; which ho re
turned to the bidder when the train was
mliued. The other the maker oiiep.ed and
showed the figures for turnpiking to bo
U } cents per yard.
The ligurc.s of Iho bidders are ba = od
upon the gratuitous 110 by the successful
applicant of the grading machines now
owned by the county- Thus far , 11. J' .
Knight lias been running this gearing
and plough1 ng work , and his bid on
Monday l.i.-t showed that ho has a strong
do.s're ' in eouiiiiuo in the same capacity
Mr , Condon , however , has beaten him
ou several csseuti-il features , and this ,
in all reasonable grounds , may bo pre
sumed to give that gentlumuu an ad
vantage over Mr Knight.
To day Mr Condon was around the
county I'Uildiug. somewhat annoyed by

Mr. Condoii'.s bid is 10 cents , and for the

but D cents per . \ard for
any dlstanco liejond that. It will be
pen Hint Condon's ligures , which aie the
lower , arn still higher than those of
Ktiighl of last year. According to these ,
Knight has- done grading sometimes to a
distance of I"UO loot , and received for it
but ! ' „ ' cent-whereas " , nowCondon would
expect II cents per yard. As most
ol the grading done is about 1. ! ! < ) ( !
feet , the instances beyond thai
do not enter very materially
Into the consideration. Snob being the
ca e , Mr. Tinime thought that another
call for bids , after rejecting the old ones ,
would induce the graders to drop on their
ligures and insure a competition which
would result to the advantage of the tax
payers of the county.
lloth Commissioners Corliss and
O'Keell'e have vet to express themselves
on the snbjcct.but Condon seems to think
that ho ought not now to be deprived of

feels that if the commissioiier.s intended
In exclude outsiders they Miotild have

Sherman was watching the parade near

Omnlin Men TryhiR to Arrange ti
MeotiiiK IJotvvoeu tlio Two.
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-

terday , are still in jail awaiting trial.

any of the trunk lines are paid l\\o dol-

Then cast of Chicago , the same
commission is held oul by western
roads lo secure business. 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
Hock | Island followed suit and the neutral
iSorthw extern was dragged Into the con
flict. | Hv n peculiar tralllu sympathy.
Omaha j business shared the cut , ami there
you have il all. You perceive that the

ing train Xo. jl the regular pa scngorof the
K. C. & St. . ! . , duo bore at U:15 : , collided
with n iroight train near St. Josopli , Mo.
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.

as a con < iciiciiceit | need not bo expected
thatcM-rj unscrupulous applicant falls
in Ids or her attempt to Foourp relief ,
One of the mo < l recent nnd at the amo
time , singular evidences of this deceit
was discovered ycMrrday in the case
of . a Mrs. Arnold , living it'is believedon
the corner of Nineteenth and llarncy
streets. This woman made piteous ap
peals to the commissioners for -istuneo
and finally succeeded in inciting their
economical hearts. She recchcd ome
fuel and groceries and Ilicu disposed of
them in order to gel her fortune told.
The commissioners feel thai Mrs. Ar
nold's tii-xt appeal will be a failure.

The Helmut club , which bids fair to

another rousing meeting at the \V. C. T.
I' ' , , Uuckingham hall last night.
Mi.isprague opened the mooting , and
Mr. liiehardson , a prominent prohibi

Army
Heports , from Salt Lake City received al
army headquarters show thai trouble is
again brewing in thai quarter. A com
munication from a well posted individual
in thai place states that the more con
servative classes fear an outbreak at
no distant day. The rank polygamists
are asserting themselves very loudly at
present , ami an1 pushing forward for the
ollices of mayor and marshal , the very
men who were convicted .some time ago
of trying to entice the federal olli-
cers into houses of prostitution. ' 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

your own conclusions. I will say this ,
that we only fight when they make Us

lioo agency at Fort Washakio , is reported

The statements made by certain local
journals to the eflect thai Gen. Croon's
friends are quietly working to secure Ins
promotion over ( Jen. Howard are regarded -
ed al the army headquarters as ridicu
lous , ( Jen. Howard and ( Jen. Crook are

Ijost Ills Contract.
Some two years ago Willis K. Hull , a
carpenter , while going past Hascall's
park savT Ids wife or a woman whom he
imagined to bo his wife riding with a
.strange man. The twain appeared to be
having a gay old time , and as Hull was
naturally siisnicious of his wife's fidelity ,
his passions became enraged by the siglit
beyond all control. Ilo fired al the couple ,
narrowly missing hitting them , was
thrown into jail and prosecuted. His in
carceration lost him n contiaet of house
building which he had partially com
pleted for .John O'Kooflo. Tlio contract
was turned over byO'Kcoll'o ( o another
earponlcr , and when ho settled up vyitli
Hull ho held back a certain portion of the
original price determined upon , on ac
count of his ( Hull's ) failure to complete
the contract. Hull at once instituted
.suit against O'Keell'o ' for this amount and
yesterday iho case was tried before
Judge Wakoloy.
