A Verdict fur llio City Philanthropy Tor the Indians More of Sndlo Voss-Mrs. Jlnll InHerllus- lmmt'0 Ilouso. The Transcontinental nronlc. Ono result of the Now York meeting of the Transcontinental association Is nvi- dent In an order sent yesterday from the general ticket ofilccs of the Union i'aoilio nnd I ) . & til. reducing rates to points in California. On the Union Pacific the rate was re duced in the morning to San Francisco , Hcddlng and Los Angeles : First-class ( tin limited ) , from $00 to $00 ; first-class ( lim ited ) , from $ St to $50 , and second-class , from ? 75 to $23. On San Diego rates the cut is : First- class ( unlimited ) $00 to $00) ) first-class ( limited ) $00 to $50 , and sucond-class , $81 to $ ' , ' 5. Thcso cuts apply to all inter mediate points , but in fact only afl'ect those stations where the local rate is larger than the through rate un der the prohcnt reduction. This is nec essarily so for no ono would pay , for in stance , the if 10 second class to Ogden when the sumo class to the coast is but $25 , and and the passenger holds the di vine right to Icavo the train short of his destination If ho so chooses. Last evening 1 * . S. Kustls , general pas- eoiigor and ticket agent at the 11. & M , , met tiio Union Pacific cut and issued thu following circular to connecting lines and rate sheet compilers : "Tho following rates are in oflect this tlato via this line , and through rates should bo based thereon { from I Kan sas City , Atcliison , St. Joseph , Council Dlufl's and Omaha to San Diego , Colton , Los Angeles , San Jose , San Francisco.

These rates also apply to intermediate points on the direct line to which present rates are higher. The general ticket olTico of the Union 1'acillo , was busied yesterday putting the order over its entire lino. Lacli agent wns addressed the following : Coinnienclnt ; this date intesfrom thoMls- sovrl river to all California points , Including Snn Ulego and Intermediate points will bo 1st class ( unlimited ) SCO ; 1st class ( limited ) 850 ; !

It is at tbo same time impossible for rates to Oregon , Idaho and Montana , so far oxcmnted , to stand , for the reason that the .Northern Pacilic cannot stand. It will bo but a few days when the slash is applied to Portland and intermediate points. The ralo cuts every thing from Hock Creek , Wyoming , westward. Ollicials in Omaha are not advised as to who is responsible for the break , but it is generally believed that tbe Santa Fo is the aggressor. Although there is no measuring the lasting quali ties of the cut , it is currently hold among railway men that it will not last more than a few days. Freight rates , although not openly cut , tire atleotcd , and slicing on transcontin ental business lias already commenced in the cast. There is no telling what the outcome may bo , and by this morn- Ifig the whole trullic of the Pacilic roads will bo kite-Hying. "THREE TIMES AND OUT. " After Much litigation the Celebrated I'cauody Grading ( Jaso Is Decided. The jury in the celebrated Peabody grading case brought in a verdictyesterday ; morning against the plaintiff nnd in favor of the city. This makes the third time that this case have been tried , nnd more than sixteen days has been consumed altogether in the trials. The lirsl time the jury stood seven to five in favor of the city ; on the second trial ton for the city and two for the plaintiff , and on the third trial , after about two hours delib eration tiio twelve jurymen appended their signatures to a verdict for Iho city. This case is Iho pioneer ( Trailing case , and really the most important over tried. It is consequently worth more than si passing mention. The case was ono wherein Mrs. Eliza beth Peabody sued the city for ? 10,000 damages by grading to her property on Fourteenth and Jones streets. The city defended on the ground that the prop erty had been specially benolittcd by the grading in a sum equal to the cost of ad- ) ustlng the lot to the now grado. In the ticcond place the city claimed that Mrs. I'eabody was estopped from recovering any damages because she had signed her name to a petition to have the change of grade nnidn About two days wore consumed in the first trial , in the arguing of the law prop osition as to whether the rise in the value of the property on any graded street could be considered as an oll'sot to the damages which might bu claimed to lirlso Irom the grading. Jtulgu Wakeloy decided that the moasiiro of damages was the depreciation in value , if any , Irom the grading of the properly , If , onj Iho ether hand , thu incrt'aso in value ot the property was Midi as to equal or ex toed the cost of adjusting II to the new grade , then , .Fml'fo WaUulnv held , no damages could bo chiiniiHl. This princi ple onto cstnbl slmd practically deter mined the case in favor of thu city , and it is not a matin * of much surprise , therefore , that the verdict was luminsl the nlaintlff.

The committco has special interest in the Ponca case , the main features of which are probably familiar to the ma jority of the readers of the BEE. The Ponca Indians wore formerly living on their reservation in the northern part of the stale , wh > n by a manifesto of .the de- pal tment of the interior they were or dered to bo taken to the Indian territory. The reason assigned for this course by government was that the Sioux wore hos tile to the Poncas and were liable to at tack them. After seine years spent in Iho territory the Poncas were attacked by malaria and their numbers were terribly decimated by disease. Standing Hoar , the old chief , and his granddaughter. HrightKycs , together with a number of the Poncas silently loft the territory and started for their old reservation in North ern Nebraska. While passing through Omaha tlfoy wore seized by tiio United Slates olllccrs , who were ordered to re turn them to Indian territory. The Poncas were then brought into the fed eral court , on proceedings of haocas corpus , authorized by prominent philan thropists bore. The upshot of the trial was that the Indians were released and allowed to return to their old reservation , About that time Mr. T. II. Tibbies was sent out by the committee to Iccturo in the cast on the oppressions suffeicd by the Indians , ac companied by Standing Hear and Uriglit Kycs ami lias since been engaged in Unit work. The following patter , was &igncd by the members of the committco will show the ends towards whichthoy arc working : To whom it may concern : Seven years ago a committco was formed in Omaha having special interest in the Poncu case , but also taking cognix- mice of the whole Indian question. Of that committco the undersigned are members. Wo sent Mr. T. II. Tibbies out at that time as our representative , and with Standing Hear and others of the Indian race , ho visited the principal cities of the cast to sot forth our ideas. Wo then contended that the main dilll- cultv in the Indian problem is the lack of legal personality , which lack interferes with tbo progress , education and civil'ua lion of that race. Further observation has but confirmed us in this opinion. If the Indians are to bo rescued from savagery , degradation and beggary , they must at once DO placed on an equality with the white race before the law. They must bo recognized us persons , endowed with the power to make contracts , and saved from the machinations of their enemies and the mistakes of their false friends. In a word , they must bo acknowledged as men. for thus and thus only will they bo able to assert their manliness and snow their hu manity. _ SADIE"voss. . Jforc Facts Relative of tiio Heroine ol * the Tragic Romance. The Hnn's publication of the sensation al history of Sadie Voss has drawn out a vast deal of comment upon the case. In the first place tlie/'acilic hotel com pany hastened to deny that it was in their house al North Platte that the girl met her tragic end. The following which is a true copy of the intelligence of the nfliiir as it reached this city is given be- .ow. It came as a letter replying to the inquiry of friends for the whereabouts of the girl : KOIITII PI.ATTK , Jan. 14,180. Dear Sirs : In reply to your Invorol Jan. iithsay : , Saillo "Voso was burned to dpatli wlulo working as laundress in the llinman hou e , this place.

Mrs. Clark , the matron of the Woman's Christian aid association remembers tbo girl well , as she was sheltered for live weeks in the Buckingham homo between the period of leaving Day's house and en tering the service of the Garncnii cracker baker on Ninth and Hickory. Mrs. Clark remembers that the woman's child was sick at that t mo and died shortly after the mother wont to her new place. WANTED llEtt THINGS. A Woman Arrested for Breaking Into Her Husband's House. A rather good-looking young woman on the brunette order , was brought into Judge Slonberg's court yesterday to explain the why and wherefore of a cer tain strange proceeding , in which she had figured as principal. The lady was none ether than Mrs. Mary Hall , who has achieved some notoriety through litiga tion in iho local courts lately. Some two or three months ago this lady , who had boon living with her hus band at t'J03 Izard street , left him and wont to Chicago. Before she departed , however , she took some of the household goods , and disposed of thorn to various parties about town. Siio claimed that the goods belonged to her , but her hus band did not seem to think so , and re- plevincd the goods through an action in one of the justice courts. Shortly there after Mr. Hall started out west on a business trip , looking up his house turn ing over the keys to a neighbor. Dan Me- Lain , living next door , and instructed him to allow no ono to enter the house in his absence. Since that time nothing hns boon heard of Mrs. llall , p.\coi > t that she was enjoy- Uig a "good tinur in Chicago. Yesterday morning , however , she turned up , serenely putting in an appearance at Mr. McLain's house and demanding the keys to her husband's bouse. Mrs. MoLam , who happened to bo in at the time , askeu her what she wanted thorn for. Mrs. Hall replied that she wanted to open the house , as her husband was In town and would bo around shortly. Mrs. McLain turned over the keys , and Mrs. Hall pro ceeded to _ open the door remarking at the same time , very coolly , that &ho mid lit'd and only wanted to get into tbo jiou , e to get .some of the things belong , ing to her. "But Mr , Hall told us not to lot any aim take a thing from the house , " said Mrs. McLain. "I don't care if ho did , " retorted the wife : "I have got some things in hero that I want and I am going to got Ilium , " .Mrs. McLain made up hoi mind that Mr.s. 11. shouldn't use the keys to oiled an entrance , and violently wrested them from her. Mrs , Hall , nothing daunted , procured an nxe and notwithstanding the other lady's violent protect , cleaved open the window , climbed in , and proceeded to pack together what bho wanted , She made her exit in the samo-manner , and carried to a neighbor- in" ; hoiibo n bundle of goods. McLain , who appeared upon the scene about this time , called a policeman and had the woman taken to the central station. In tending to prefer a charge of burglary against her. After conference with the judge ho decided not to prosecute her. Judge Stonborg lectured the woman at length , for having broken into thu hou&o as MID did , and then told her that bho might go. "I don't caro. " pouted the lady , as she arrayed the folds of the nubia about her head , "I didn't know that I was doing anything wrong. The things bolonircd to mo. J hey were presents I got before I ever saw the man. I'll like to know it things have como to such a pass that a wife can't go into her own house.

The boys are for the most part studious and tractable and get on well with their lessons , while tbo girla are as docile as lambs and apply them selves earnestly. The scholars are from almost every tribe in the whole aboriginal race. They are for the greater part quick to learn in both literary mutters and the practical arls. Trades arc taught both the boys and girls , and they acquire very commendable skill. By application a young Indian man or woman can leave the institution prepared for respectable self support in any white community. Altogether the school is performing'a great work. " Til 13 O. "c. P.

Dean MillspnuKh'a Departure. The Hev. Frank Millspaugh , for a num ber of years past dean and pastor of Trinity parish in this city , has severed , his connection with Trinity cathedral and will leave on Monday next to assume charge of a largo and llouribhing parish in Minneapolis. A farewell reception will bo given him this evening at the Miilard hotel , where an opportunity will bo afforded his friends to say good bye and God speed to the re tiring clergyman. Mr. Millspaugh has .spent njno of the best years of his life in this city. Ho has been an earnest , faithful and hard-working minister to poverty , alllietion and distress. AVith a zeal anil devotion which has won him many friends and admirers outside of his own church , ho has gone in and out among the poor and needy of this city carrying with him comfort and solace. Ministering- ono of the wealthiest and most fashionable churches , his services have been most freely exorcised among those to whom wealth was unknown and fashion only a name. IIo came to Trinity when it was small and feeble. lie leave's it worshipping in the beautiful new cathedral with filled pews and a strong church organization. Mr. Millspaugh was an otliciont coadjutor and a devoted admirer of the late Bishop Clarksoii. Ho takes with him to his now jield of labor ono of the bishop's family , a lady whoso Christian work and influence will bo much missed in the congregation where she grew up to womanhood , and in the duties of whoso organization she took an active part. The lure well recep tion to Dean Millspaugli will draw to gether a largo attendance of his old con gregation , who will wish him nil success and prosperity in the city to which ho transfers his labors. Wanted to Die. The door belief Kulm's drugstore peal ed violently about one o'clock yesterday morning , Mr. Sherman , the gentlemanly clerk who sloops in the promises , awoke , shoved his night raiment into his trous ers , donned his Prince Albert and hasten ed to answer the summons. IIo throw open the door and a tall and hand some young woman , her lace deathly palu , but sot with determination , stalked in over the marble thre-diold and seizing the clerk by the coat , hoarsely comimiuded , "Glvo mo f-omo poison , some cold , raw , rank poison.

OMAHA GREETS * HER PRIDE Thou Rnds Present at the 'Cpoqjng of tbo Espoaitloa Building L&st Night , THE DEDICATORY TEXERCISES. Tiio Opening Address ( Delivered by lion. A. < T. I'oMilctnn , anil a lii-II- . llaiit. Muntcnl ProRraimno Klcuniitly Hotulercil. The Grnntl ISrent. "A grand success , " > vns the unlvcrsnl expression nt the oloso of the concert with which the Exposition building wis : opened. And such was surely the case , both in the merits of the entertainment and the thousands of people who \vcro present. As soon ns the doors were opened in the evening the people boff.in to pour into the building , and long after the concert liud begun there was a con tinuous stream of arrivals. Three thousand chairs had uccn provided for the occasion , but tlioy were quickly filled and both the lloor and gallery were oc cupied by hundreds of people unable to obtain scats. Fully -1,000 persons visited the building during the evening , and the assemblage was estimated by some as high as r ,000. Owing to Iho nisiinnioth size of the structure , the appearance of the scat tered throng was deceptive as to num bers , but during the vocal selections as the people crowded around the platform on the south side of the building , its pro portions were apparent. No especial pains had been taken to decorate Iho building for the occassion , but what had been done was in excellent lasto. The brilliant light falling upon the assembled multitude , the faces and forms with which the promenade gallery was lined , and the compact mass of humanity on the north side of the building , facing the hlaso , attracted more attention than would a hundred festooned and draped Hags. Promptly at 8 o'clock the Musical Union orchestra , with its sixty pieces , Ijlayed the opening strains of Steinmiin's i'est March , and thus the evening began. The music completely lillcd the immense structure- its farthest limits and the au dience was hushed as it listened to the grand melody. As the last echo dii'd away , Mr. Max Meyer stopped to the front of the plat form , and in a few words introduced lion. A. J. I'oppleton , who delivered the opening address , which was received with hearty applause. After the lirst few words Iho speaker could be distinctly heard in all parts of the house , and the vast audience was closi'ly attentive. After referring to the marvelous growth of the city in the thirty years of his residence heiv , Mr. Pouplolon said : "Omaha should bo proud of this grand .structure , for in all the west , between Chicago and the coast , I do not believe its like can bo found. Even San Fran cisco , 1 think , cannot produce its equal. It is nn enterprise which will servo Omaha not only materially , but intellect ually , morally and spiritually. Hero will the _ pcople gather to listen to grand music , brilliant oratory and the utter ances of the intellect ol the country. And to the founders of this noble enterprise is duo the praise the _ men who lirst con ceived the grand idea and the benclits which would acruo from it to the city Max Meyer , William Wallace , Fred Gray and Isaac Miner " Continuing the speaker referred to thb fact that the site on which the building stands had been occupied by his residence thirty years ago. In 1850 , while looking around for n place for a per manent dwelling , he had selected that spot because it was so far from the cen ter of the town and would not bo en croached on by the crowd. Ten years after , however , that idea had been dis pelled , the place was surrounded by homes and business houses , and again he moved still farther from the "madding crowd. " Now the same place was in the heart of the city and on it stood the magnificent structure the pride of Omaha. The speaker also recounted the imaiicial , educational and religious pro gress of the state and city in the past thirty years , and closed with a glowing tribute to the public spirit of the found ers of the exposition building and the good which would result to the people. The following was received by the managers from MayorHoydwho was un able to bo present : I rcgiet exceedingly that my health will not permit my acceptance of your invitation tone no mcsont nt the oncMing of the exposition uullilliiff. Such a structure wns veiy much necilcil In Omulm , and the slookliohluis who furnished the means lor its construction deserve the thanks of our citizens. The building will bo the menus ol briiiKiiif : con ventions and other largo assemblages of people ple to our city , and in this way will bo of vast benefit. Hoping the rntoriirlso may piovo as prolitablo as it deserves , 1 am yours icspwtJnlly , JAJinsU. UoVi ) . The musical programme was then taken up and was listened to enthusias tically throughout. The orchestra responded nupurbly to Prof. Stoinhauser's baton , and every number was played with taste and expression. The double " " quartette "Songerfanan , by the Swedish and Norwegian club was well rendered , although thu volume of sound was hardly largo enough to lill the house. It requires tin extra vocal oll'ort to nmko one's self hoard throughout the length and breadth of such n structure. This fact scorned to bo completely ignored by the members of the club , anil the consequence was that an otherwise delightful musical number was lost to more than two-thirds of these present. The same crith'srn ' will imply to the nunrtotte song , "Oh , the Sad Moment of Parting , " by Mis os Jilimoho Oliver , Min nie Hath. Mcssvn' . Hreckcnridgo and Pen- noil. Those , however , who were fortunate - tunato enough to secure the full oflect of the remarkably line rendition of the song responded to the effort with hearty ap plause. In the beautiful cavntinti and aria solo , "Uol Uasjgio , " from "Semiramido , " Mrs. Martin Calm made her initial appearance before an Omaha audience , She has reason , in deed , to bo proud of her enthusiastic ! reception , securing as she did the only oneoro of the ovoning. Her voice is a remarkably fresh sonrano , clear and ringing , and proved or sulllcient volume to completely lill the house. JU-r vocal ization is woll'ingh perfect , being char acterised by u linisli and breadth ot method hardly possessed by any other artist in this city. Her appoarancu called forth a number of handsome lloral trib utes from admirers. Air. Thomas J. Pomu'll snug "Tho Itaft" in his usual nrlistio manner and retired amid Iho heartiest applause. Stcinhauser's "Combination i.0" com pleted the brilliant programme in a man ner highly satisfactory , alter which the largo audience slowly left the building , carrying with it delightful remembrances of the ovoning's entertainment. At the opening in the afternoon there WHS n fair attendance and the btiildin } ' was thoroughly inspected and declared magnificent. At ! 1 o'clock the Musical Union orchestra began the public re hearsal of the evening's programme , which continued until 5. The throngs which came out both afternoon and iivi-n- ing demonstrated thnt the people of Onmha fully appreciate- the bent-lit and worth which the structure will bo to the city , and that they are bound to giyo to ita nuumgcrs their hearty support. FIGHTING OVI2U I'UGIIjtSTS. Two for Rulllvnn nncl Ono for Kynn Police- Court Notes. Jnuies Fox , Robert Qrcon , John Galla gher nnd W. J. Flynn , four grangers from Iowa , who had como to Omaha to see the sights , became involved in n dis pute Wednesday as to the relative merits of Sullivan nnd Hynn , the pugilists. The debate waxed warmer and warmer until linaily Fox nnd Green becoming thor oughly exasperated at Flynn , who cham pioned Itytm , determined to illustrate their hero's methods upon his counte nance. They pounded him up pretty severely , nnd but for the timely arrival of a policeman on the scene , would have knocked him out completely. Vest- tcrday they plead guilty , and were lined $10 and cos's , paying which they were released. Gallagher appeared to have taken no nctivo part in the light ami was released. Charles Whitney , one of the old Huck- lugham gang of loughs , stood up to tin- swor to a charge of vagrancy. Ho said that he had just came irom Kansas City , where ho hnd been ordered out of town , ami had been in Omaha but twenty min utes when the police had run him in , "If you'll lot mo go , judge , " ho pleaded , " ! ' ! ! look for work. If I can't iind a job in twenty-four hours , I'll agree to leave the town1 Ho was released on these condi tions. Tom Collins , a j-oung man who wns charged with discharging llronrms with in the city limits , was convicted. IIo had only llrcd the revolver for fun , he said , but the joke cost him 91 and costs. Tom O'Connor ' , M. P. McGinty , John SchultB and Tnomas Shea , drunk and disorderly , were discharged. TilM OirAUGt ! UIJNIKD. Hod Says Ho is Honest and llcady I''or Investigation. The talk of dishonesty by the street cleaning contractor still continued yes tcrday in certain circles , and as Aaron Heel , the contractor , had returned from Iowa ho was frequently questioned in regard to his side of the case , in conver sation with a reporter for the BEE Mr. Heel said : "The charges against mo winch were ordered investigated by the city council took mo completely by surprise , but I am ready at any time to prove my innocence. I have never charged the city any more than I have paid my men. My claim which is in dispute now charges at the rale of $1.50 a day for men. Part of the time the men have not put in full days , and then they IniA'o been paid at the rate of 10 cents an hour. My time book will show that my claim is a perfectly honest one , and it can bo verified by the men who have been in my employ. " Mr. llool further said that ho could not imagine what caused the rumor to start which reached the ears of the council- men. The men in his employ , ho said , seemed to bo satisliud with the wages paid and hn litul never had any trouble with them. lie was glad , however'now that the matter had como up , that it waste to be investigated.
