T1IB OMAHA DAILY BEE , THURSDAY , MARCH 4,1833. ALMOST A BRUTAL MURDER , A Young and Pretty White Woman Stabbed by Her Colored Lover. THE BLACK FIEND CAPTURED A I'ostolIIco Fight Conclusion of the Tnlo of n Fountain An Ice * Gorge on the 1'lnttc Other I./ocnl. Frightfully Wounded. A brutal and bloody stubbing affray oc curred at 110 South Tenth street about 7:30 : lost evening which nearly resulted in a murder , Alyrtlu Grunt , n young v/Mlo woman , receiving u frightful wound hi the hack at the hands of her colored paramour , Iko ( Mover. Immo- < li.itoly upon eoiiiiiilUini : the cowardly tlccd the would-be murderer rushed from the place , while his victim , with Wood streaming from the ghastlv out , staggered down btairs and Tnlo O'Oon- ' noil's saloon adjoining and gsuo tlio alarm. All was intense c\eitoment. and a large crowd gathered , while the injured woman was taken back to the room whore the stabbing oceuirrd and placed in bed. A doctor was immediately sunt for , but it wns some time before one could bo found. Jn the mcantimo the woman was undressed , mid it was found that the wound was fully two inches in length and bleeding badly. Stopsvoro tiiKon to staunch the How of blood and make the \\onian ns comfortable as possible , butall present considered that who had received her death blow. When Dr. Swctnmn arrived lie mndu nn examination of the wound anil de clared that it was not necessarily fatal , but might prove to bo. The weapon had entered tlio body between the fifth ami oixth ribs , n little to tlio left of tlio spinal column , and penetrated almost to tlio lungs Tlio pltira , or sack surrounding tlio lungs , protruded from the wound and expanded and contracted witli the woman's breathing. Af ter tlio cut had been thoroughly cleansed , the llcsh was drawn together and a number of stitches taken , and tlio necessary precautions wore taken to pre vent n return of the hemorrhage. At a lute hour last night tlio woman was still in a favorable condition , with good pros pects for recovery. From the time of the stabbing the vic tim utterly refused to Mate who her as sailant was and the cause of tlio trouble. From otheni it was learned that Glover had committed the crime. Tim Grant woman , it seems , had been drinking heavily during tlio day , and was very much intoxicated on the street. A man who knew her assisted her to her room on Tenth street and then left. Her black lover , Glover , was informed of the fact and became very jealous. He visited the room and after a few angrv words knocked the woman down. While hold ing her on iho lloor ho pulled the knife and deliberately stabbed her in the back , undoubtedly intending to kill her. After accomplishing his purpose , as he sup posed , he flea. The police we're immediately informed of the stabbing , and a large number of men were detailed to scareTi for Glover. Ho is in the employ of Mr. S. U.Johnson , president of Uio water works company , Is a coachman , and Captain Cormiek Ind Oflleor Horrigan went to that gentle man's residence on Dodge street , whcro -hoy ( captured Glover late in the evening. /lie was taken to police headquarters tind ' locked tip. Glover claims that the girl had the knife , and in attempting to wrest it from her she received the cut in tlio back accidentally. Myrtle Grant , the woman who was stabbed , Is about 25 years old and of line face and figure. She has been a pros titute in Omaha for nearly a year , and has gradually fallen lower and lower in her life ot shame. Her parents reside in Toronto , Ont. , where her father is a repu table business man. Myrtle received a line education and was at one time a school teacher. Later she entered Carrie Wat son's house of ill-fnmo in Chicago , and finally came to Omaha. She at first associated sociatod with the better class among the demi-iuondo , but soon began to drink badly and finally landed in a colored dive. Slio has been frequently arrested IS for drunkenness , but when sober has always exhibited signs of her early edu cation. TWO I'OSTOFFIOES. An Interesting Situation in Tnlmadgc , Ncl > . A Stubborn 1'ostmnntcr. Postal Inspector Spnnglcr returned last night from Talmadgo , Neb. , whither ho wont a day or so ago to settle n dilli- culty which had arisen between a new postoflico appointee and the retiring in cumbent. It seems that for some limo past there lias been hard feelings between the old postmaster , Stcclo , and a citizen named Hoard. Hoard , who was a democrat , had been for some time trying to secure the postmaRtorship , while Steele , who was a prohibitionist , had persistently fought to retain the ollico. Among other charges preferred against liourd by Steele mid his friends was that ho was a hard drinuor so much addicted to liquor , in fact , that ho was unlit to dis charge tlio duties which would devolve upon him as postmaster. Finally it came to pishowever , that Hoard secured - cured his nun mission from tlio post master general , llu triumphantly went to his opponent , and shoving the papers in liis face , ordered him to "retreat , " Steele refused to back down until Hoard would agree to buy a lot of postolllco boxes in which ho ( Strolo ) had invested considerable money , lie refused abso- utely to give up the stampg or other government property to Hoard until ho was reimbursed for the private uiit- lay which ho had made while postmaster. The now postmaster con cluded to pay no attention to tlio de mands of Steele , but wont ahead , bought a sot of boxes ami btartcd postolliou No. 3. At this juncture Inspector Spangler Uovo upon tint scone and settled the nu'air by peromtorily ordering Steele to give up all right and title (6 ( the ollico of post master , besides instructing him to at once transfer the government property to his successor , Hoard. "I shall never forgot the lookonStcolo's face when I went in to BOO him , " bald Inspector Spanylor in speaking of tlio matter to a reporter last night. "Ho turned as pale as a corpse anil appeared thoroughly frightened. Yes , ho con sented readily enough to obey orders , and now that there is but one postmaster in the field , everything is sercno again. " THE Ij.\ST IJMC. Mrs. Fountain to Part with Her Fine Furniture. Ip a day or two thuro will occur In tins city an auction sale which will serve to call to mind a personage who , during her residence in Omaha , gained an unenvia ble notoriety , Those who have noticed on the streets a ilaring rod bill announc ing an "auction s\lu : of line furniture/ ' have not thought that when the snlo was completed the lust link \\liieli binds Mrs. J , W. Fountain to Omahawillbo sovcied , but such is the case , and when the affair js over , tlio name and fame of that per- conngc , as fur as Omaha Is concerned , will piob.ibly sink into oblivion. Mrs , fountain is now in Washington with her liusbuml , and it is possible that she may bo heard from at a distance , but she will probably not set her foot on Omaha soil in the near future. Her fine furniture will now pass Into the hands of strangers , and never will a dream of its former as sociations disturb the sleep ot the new owners. _ AX ICT , The IMatto Itlvor Over Its IJnnks nt Valley. The Omaha & Republican Valley train which left this city at 2:10 : yesterday after noon returned last night shortly after 11 o'clock , having been unable to proceed farther than Valley on account of the forming of an ice gorge in the Platte river. The gorge is situated above the railroid bridge anil has caused a terrible overflow on this .side of the river , result ing in transforming the couutiy between Valley and the river into a vast lake. When tlici train started on its return trip hist night twenty feet of the road-bed had been already washed away , anil the water was rapidly working havoc with the adjoining tracks. A great amount of damage to both the railroad anil the sur round lug country is anticipated unless the gorge breaks up soon and allows the river to rotmn to its natural bod. llall XotcH. ' The Union 1'aeilio issued yesterday a circular announcing that on and after this date , until further notice , it would bell round trip tickets from Omaha , Council BluuX St. Joseph , Loavcmvorth or Kansas City [ o San Francisco , Redding , Los Angeles , San Diego and intermediate points at $75.00 each.

General Trallle Manager Kimball lias in his olliee some line specimens of suit and brimstone crystalline deposits , from the region of Salt Lake City. Assistant General Traffic Manager Shelby loft for Suit Lake City yesterday. Mr. T. H. Hlackburn , of the passenger department of the Union Pacific , is en tertaining his brother , K. A. Hlackburn , a recent graduate of tlio Haiinemaii Medical college of Chicago. Mr. Clem Hackney , superintendent of motive power of tlio Union Pacific , re ceived yesterday from Topcka , Kansas , a liundsomo pair of bav horses , together with a gold-mounted harness and n stylish buggy. The entire rig was pre sented to Air. Hackney last Saturday bv the employes of the motive power depart ment of the Santa Fo road tit Topeka , where Mr. Hackney was located previous to accepting his present position. Tlio presentation was a great surprise to the recipient , who on last Thursday received a telegram that. his presence was wanted without fail in Topeka on Saturday. Ho iccordingly slarted on Friday , and upon lis arrival Saturday morning was met by i delegation of employes and escorted to Gcrniuniu hall , \vhero 1200 ! workmen ivith a band were in waiting to receive lim. After the grand welcome Mr. tlacknoy was presented with the elegant .osthnoniul already mentioned. Tlio entire - tire outfit cost $1,100 , anil tlio horses are as pretty a matched team as there is in Omaha. _ Police Points. The only case of interest in the police court ycslceday was that of Robert Colgay who was arraigned on a charge of being n suspicious character. No evi dence was brought forward to substan tiate this charge , until a man who was present stepped forwards and testified to facts which show that Col- gay had taken suspicious familiarity the night before with money and valuables of an Iowa granger , Kdl'itxgerald , who is visiting hero. It was shown that while in Colgay's company Fit/gerald hud lost quite a sum of money and a railroad ticket. It was pretty clearly proven that Colgay was re. sponsiblo for the loss of the cash and ticket , though Fit/gcrald himself was too drunk to remember much about the matter. Colgay was committed to iti'il for sixty days , the judge advising aim to steer clear of new made friends in tlio future. The lust seen of him ho was in tlio Union Pacific ollicos trying to secure a new ticket. Mrs. Gus Scii.ltz , the notorious' , was again fined $5 and costs for drunkenness. Peter Ringwolt's case was disposed of in a similar manner. John Moron , John Keune and John Snow , charged with intoxication , were released.

Mention was made in the HF.E a few days ago of a young girl from Fremont who appeared before Justice Anderson to secure the arrest of a Grand Island hotel olork for seduction. The girl failed to secure the man's arrest hare , nut returned to Fremont and swore out tha necessary papers. In speaking of the matter the Fiemont Tribune says that "Kd Fe.ither is the 'bird' whom the girl wanted. Ac cordingly ofllcer.s went to Grand Island and piocurcd him He was taken before 'Squire Usher , who bound him over in the sum of $500 to appear at the next term of district court. Falling to give bonds , ho. was committi'd to jail. If Kd is tiiu guilty until ho ought to bo mndo to face thi ) miisiu. A man who thus blights a young girl'lifn and runs away is too despicably a character to bo let run nt largo. " * Appealed From Awards. Appeals from the awards of commis sioners appointed to condemn property for the right of way of the Omaha As North Platte railroad were filed In the district court yesterday nfturuodn by Anna Corrigan and the heirs of Patrick Corrigau aud Harris & FhUcr. Narrow Kscnpo From Death. Jlr. J. M. Wilson , owner of the Wilson boiler works , Is reported to bo en tirely out of danger from the injuries re ceived by being struck by a runaway horse , in spilo of the fact that a wrong dose of mcdiclno nearly proved fatal. After his injuries by the horse a physician was called , who prescribed medicine for both Internal and external use , The latter was a strong liniment , but during the uight the bottles became transposed , and Mr. Wilson was given n largo dose of the liniment internally. The mistake wns at once discovered and physicians were sent for. The unfortunate man was in terri ble agony , both from his injuries and the ell'ect of the liniment on his throat and stomach , and it was only by tlio utmost cam that his life was saved. Antidotes and a stomach pump worn freely used and resulted in relieving his distress. He Is now rapidly recovering. Pnrncll Social Club.

City Engineer \Vhitnoy \ , of Kansas City , arrived in Omaha yesterday to gain some points of information about the system ot public works in this city in general , and our system of paving in particular. His attention was especially directed towards the asphalt pavement , which Kansas City will probably try this ear. Ho was piloted about the city by Mr. C. D. Woohvorth , and could not but express his surprise and admiration at the system of public works which has done so much for Omaha in the past four o'r live years Absolutely Pure.1 This powder never varies.

The next step oil foot , was taken to erect an And the site selected on the northeast corner of loth and Capitol Avenue , which stood for many years unoccupied , and was merely a resort 119 a child ren's playing ground. This most beautiful piece of mechanical skill is strik ing to the pride of every heart in the Gate City , and well we can feel proud of this bestowing feature to our city , as it is equal to tliafc of any in the larger cities east. These features show what enterprise can do for a once called "small western town ; " and now with the site which has recently been the pur chase of Hon. Win. Paxton , on Favnam street , between 15th and IGth streets , adjoining the site of the old court house , with n view to erect his new hotel which when completed promises to eclipse anything in the hotel line on the American continent. Mr. Paxton is a worthy citizen and deserves praise for the interest he takes in beautifying the city. Last but not least was the es tablishing of Misfit Clothing Parlors Who now occupy 1119 Farnam street , the land mark so long recognized as the stand of the popular grocers , J. B. French & Co. The Parlors have re cently completed extensive improvements which beautifies the rooms so that they are equal to the neatest in the west. The Parlors also deserve credit for the progress they have made in winning the many hard fought battles of com petition , and in dressing the people of Omaha with such exquisite taste , and saving them from 50 to 100 per cent on each purchase. The Parlors are the gossip of today , and not only a thing of the past. Should you meet a friend who appears more neatly clad than the majority of men seen on the strceta , k him where he buys liis clothing , you will find him ready losay , AT THE MISFIT PARLORS.
