A Peculiar Case.
Mnx Alirnlmms began a suit In the dis
trict court yesterday which presents
some rntlier peculiar features. The
facts upon which ho bases his claim am
substantially as follows : Nearly six
years ago ho conceived the idea of going
to Germany to live. It was his purpose
to lake his family with him and inako
that country his permanent homo. Ho-
fore entering upon such an important
undertaking , however , ho thought it well
to visit tlio fatherland and sco what ad
vantages it afforded. Ho was at the
time the owner of considerable ! real os-
late in Douglas county which had to bo
managed during his tibsoncn. IIo there
fore gave his wife , Esther Abrahams , n
written power of attorney to transact all
business in his name. Ho had every con
fidence in her ability and judgment and
departed from Omaha in this full belief
that his pecuniary interests would not bo
Injured by hU absence. Ho was gone-
several months , but could not sco the
way clear to bottling down in ( icrnmny ,
and consequently uavo up the idea of
leaving America. When ho came back
to Nebraska ho had forgotten all
about tlio paper which he had signed ,
giving his wire tlio power of attorney.
Iwcii if it dul occur to his mind his con
fidence in her was so great that tlio
thought of revoking it never occurred to
him. Three days ago , however , this con
fidence was rudely broken. At that time.
ho claims in his petition , he ascertained
that his wife had cruelly taken advantage
of the power vested in her by the docu
ment which he had signed six years pre
vious and forgotten , and had disposed of
all his properly to her son , Henry J.
Abrahams , for thu consideration of $1,000.
Ho , moreover , alleges that th'is was not u
bona fit ! 3 Halo as no money passed be
tween the parties to it. Ho lias asked
her to restore the properly to him , but
avers that she steadily refuses to do so.
There is no adequate remeily for him by
the usual process of law , but he asks the
court to grant a temporary injunction
restraining his .son from making any fur
ther disposition of the property until the
matter can bo thoroughly investigated.
Ho claims that his wife and son have
conspired to deprive him of his property
and demands justice at the hands of the
court. _

It has long boon the intention of ( ho
young men composing llio Charily Union
to establish a wood yard , but not until
the charity ball fund was raised and the
ladies in charge gave lliom some of the
proceeds were they able lo ctury out lids
plan , ills now their intention to bo ruiuly

"Nino years ago I walked out of Omaha
without a cent in my pocket , " ejaculated
A man as he leaned confidentially across
Uio Arcmlo bar last night. "You , " con
tinned ho , grasping the baitender by the
land and giving it several convulsive
lliukus , "you used lo bo good to mo and
would give mo a drink once -in a wlijln
when I was broke. I want you to coma
Around and have a champagne supper
with uio. "
. "Oh , como pir there , Tom/ ' remarked
one of tlio speaker's companions , tug
ging at his coat tail energetically , "doii't
talk the man's car off- "
"That's all right , " was the response.
"I've just deposited $00,000 In the bank
and am going to blow part of it in , You
see I didn't have a cent to my name when
[ left here , but I've got 10,000 , acres of
land now , and you bet I'm going to have

"XTou must have been playing in pretty

"It wasn't luck at ail. It was brains.
Drains and good looks are what did it.
Married a rich widow , sec ? .lust as easy

"No more drinks to-night , Tom. " nald
tlio bartender emphatically. "You've
spend enough money already and I don't
believe yoirvu paid your wash bill. " As
the young man walked sadly away from
tlid counter the bartender carefully
adjusted his diamond pin and continued :
"You see lots of queer people in this
business. It's funny what ideas whisky
puts into a man's head. Now that fellow
is a clerk In a dry goods store and gets'
salary of S20 n week. Every time ho
gets drunk he loses his personal identity
completely. To-night ho thought ho was
a eattlo king and was trying to spend
money In the same reckless manner In
which they are supposed to. The

AVnnt n Change of Grade.
A well attended meeting of SoulhElev
enth fclrcot property holders was held last
night in the engine house on Eleventh
and Dorcas , about one hundred and fifty
being present. The purpose of Ihe meet
ing was to take under consideration the
question of changing thegrado and grad
ing Soulh Eleventh street during the
coining season. Profiles of the street and
the established grade , with proposed
changes were laid before those present ,
and after viewing them and nn extended -
tended formal discussiontho meeting was
called to order. Mr. Sluht was chosen
chairman , and ,7. Kosicky secretary.
Mcss.Il.KounlNavc ! , lleit/.ko and others ,
argued the merits and demerits of the
proposed grade. All present were in fa
vor of grading the street and changing
partly the established grade , and finally a
resolution was adonted almost unani
mously , that the present grade from
Briggs street south and the proposed
grade from liriggs street north should bo
adopted. Tlio proposed change calls for
a out of about twenty feet on Pierce ,
eighteen feet on Pacific and ten feet on
Mason street. Several of tlioso present
desired to have also the nill at
Hriggs street ( between Picrco
and Williams , cut down to nlmo t a level
and fill up south between Williams and
Centre , RO as to make a uniform and
almost level grade from Fierce to Center ;
but it was shown them that as much as
such a grade was desirable , it would bo
impossible to got tlio consent of adjacent
property-holders without heavy damages.
A committee was appointed to obtain a
waiver of damages from property-holders
along the proposed change , consisting of
Messrs. Stuht , Hartlctt , Hirkelt , Kimmer-
mann and Hoit/.kc. Tlio meeting ad
journed subject to the call of chairman.

TilE ANSWER FIIiED.
City Attorney Council Denies the
Claims of the Gna Company.
Yesterday morning was the time set for
hearing the arguments in the injunction
brought by the gas company against the
city , City Attorney Council filed an an
swer to the petition asking for an in
junction , giving reasons why it should
not bo granted. In this answer the de
fendants deny that the city of Omaha
lias granted any legal right or franchise
the plaintiffs to occupy the streets for
the purpose of laying gas mains or for
nnv other purpose whatever.
The city then proceeds lo lake the
'
broad ground thnt'slnco 1808 thn company
lias not maintained gas works or fur
nished pas in compliance with the ordin
ance. Tlio city alleges that the Omaha
[ Jas company and the companies succeed
ing It have violated and failed to comply
with the provisions of the ordinance un
der which they seek an injunction , and
thereby have forfeited all rights and
privileges that may have been granted.
The answer also states that the city is
about to pass an ordinance repealing the
original ordinance. 11 is claimed , now-
over , that such action would not im
pair tlio obligations of any contract provi-
ovsly entered into. Moreover it is assorted
in the answer that the Omaha Gas Man
ufacturing company , in whoso name the
injunction is sought , have no connection
with Iho present gas company , which Is
owned and controlled by tlio United Gas
Improvement company.
"And said defendants deny , " so reads
the answer , "that said plaintiff is entitled
to an injunction as prayed , either tern-
porary or perpetual , or is entitled to any
relief whatever in the premises.
The counsel for the gas company were
not ready to proceed with Ihe arguments ,
and-tho case was postponed till a week
rom Monday. _
KAlIi NOTES.
The Switchmen's Strike and the Local
Situation Personal and General.
General Manager Callaway and Gen
eral Superintendent Smith of the Union
Pacific have returned ] from Kansas
City and were at their posts ol duty yes
terday.
"Tho switchmen's strike in Kansas
Dity has been satisfactorily settled , " said
Mr. Smith , speaking to a reporter for the
I3ii : : , "and 1 don't believe there
will be any further trouble for the
present , at least. "
"Do yon anticipate any trouble among
the Omaha switchmen ? " was asked of
him.
him."I
"I haven't heard any rumors of such a
thing. Have you ? " returned Mr. Smith.
The reporter admitted that ho had
heard vasue rumors of impending trouble ,
but nothing definite
"I don't think tnat wo shall have a
strike among our switchmen , " continued
Mr. Smith , "the fact is they have nothing
to strike for. It is my impression that
they are getting as good wages as the
men in Chicago. I am looking the mat
ter up and I shall bo able to toll for cer
tain in a short timo. So that I fail to see
what good a strike would do them. As
for the rate of pay for trainmen over the
entire system , I know that our employes
are paid better than those on any other
road in the country. "
The delegates of the Knights of Labor
from the different brandies of the Union
Pacific have not yet called upon Messrs.
Smith and Callaway to present their re
quests , but will probably be ready to dose
so to-day.
NOTKS AND rr.itsoxAi.s.
The passenger business of the Union
Pacific Jias never been so hcavy.for many
years at least , as nt present. About ten
cars of emigrants are being sent west on
an average every day , most of them for
different points in 'California. The entire -
tire passenger business amounts to sev
enteen or eighteen cars every day.
No Missouri Pacific freight trains went
out yesterday , and locally speaking
fiero is no change in the situation.

THIS COUNTY' INSANE.
CoininiHsioners Investigating the Ad
visability ofn Ijocal Asylum.
County Commissioners O'Koeflo and
Timmo have returned from Chicago ,
where they have been for several days.
Their visit to the Garden city was for the
purpose of investigating tlio methods
adopted by Cook county in caring for the
insane , and to ascertain the cost which it
entailed. They found over 000 patients in
the county asylums , which were main
tained at a cost of ninety-one cents each
per da } ' , including buildings , etc. , and
also ascertained maiiv interesting facts.
"Tho real object of our visit , " said Mr.
Timmo to a UIB : reporter yesterday , "was
to post ourselves in regard to the cost of
keeping thu insane , with the end in view
of making some arrangements for Doug
las county to care for her own lunatics.
The last state assessment for the insane ,
which the supreme court has decided
must bo paid , lias placed upon Douglas
county an unjust and unfair tux , and wo
believe that it would bo cheaper to build
our own asylum and care tor the county
insane at homo. According to the spe
cial assessment which is yet to bo paid in
to tlio slate insane fund , Douglas county
will nay over. ? ! ! a week for its insane pa
tients. I buliovo thul is moro than it
should cost , and in case the legislature
can bo made to ohango thu law , I am in
favor of building a Douglas county in
sane asylum. Besides tlio lunatics now
in the state asylum , there arc sixteen con
fined nt the poor farm which are also sup
ported by the people ot the county. If an
asylum should bo built , it should bo lo
cated some live or six miles from the city
and Iho poor farm placed In Iho same lo
cality. Then the comity would bo pay
ing for its own unfortunates and not
supporting tlioso from other parts of Ihe
slate us well. "

I'lio Itookforil Silver IMnto Company.
This IB ono of the solid ninmifac.lnriiiK
cnlcrpriscs of llockfortl , It employs a
capilnl of about $100,000 , and gives em
ployment to 125 persons , and its stock
holders represent a oapital of over
$1,000,000. The building is a heavy brick
structure , with mas ivo foundation , and
the works rank with Iho lincst in the
United Stales. On Iho main lloor are
located the olllecs , sample room , solder
ing , turning and spinning departments.
They are spacious and well arranged for
the various branches of the business to
wliicli they are devoted. The building
contains three largo vaults : one for the-
moulds , metals , patterns and tools ; an
other , the Hat ware , olllce books and gold
and silver ; the third vault contains line
imported glassware. In tlio lower story
tlio furnace and other ponderous ma
chinery are established. Heio ; the tin
ingots , weighing 100 pounds each ,
and the copper and antimony
nro liquified , and thoroughly and
delicately amalgamated , giving the
combination the proper per cent , to a
nicety. It is a very delicate business ,
and great skill is required in their man
ipulation. Tills combination is then cast
into plates weighing twelve'and one-half
pounds each , and these in tlioir turn are
introduced into poiuloroiis-slocl rollers ,
weighing 21,009 , pounds , where it is re
duced to tlio various tliicknosscs desired.
The foundation upon which'the rolls rest
is a massive piece of masonry , thirteen
font in depth. The sheets of metal after
leaving the rolls are cutiip'into circular
pieces of tlio various sizes required and
llien spun on "chucks , " something made
from gum or mahogany'woods , or iron.
The next step in tlio programme is lo the
turner , then to the bull-room , where it
undergoes a bufring , with sea horse
leather and pumice stone , und comes out
polished as smooth as glass. After being
polished the articles go pback. to > those
who do the soldering , and they are there
made ready for the plater. The
dynamo-electric process Is used for
plating. It is a marvelous
invention , the article being suspended in
a secret liquid compound , and. by
the action of tlio positive and negative
principles in nature and art made to take
on just the desired amounl of silver. The
machine is the "Mather , " and it is said
to bo tlio best in use for plating and eleo-
trotyping. It has but a single magnet
and is simple and durable. Patent scales
that register the actual quantity of silver
while the articles are oeing plated are
connected with the machine , thus insur
ing no mistakes. Eacli one of the vari
ous departments is under the watchful
care of a competent manager , and every
thing pertaining to the elaborate and
beautiful work moves on harmoniously ,
while system and order prevail through
out. There are no drones in this hive
and all hands make money while the sun
shines. A great variety of plated ware
IP turned out and it enjoys tlio reputation
of being equal to the best made in the
United states. The goods are popular
wherever they have been introduced
und tlio demand is increasing
rapidly. Tlio works turn out fine electro
gold and silver plated ware , table cut
lery , spoons , forks , and u general line of
similar goods. Tlio ollicors of tlio asso
ciation arc II. AV. Price , president ; I
French , vice president ; and Gee , 15. Kcl-
ley , secretary and treasurer. The distin
guished ability und .standing of Iho mem
bers of the company are an evidence of
the high character of the cnterprihO and
the superior quality of the goods they are
pulling upon Iho market.
Not All They Seemed to no.
Among the prisoners arraigned before
Judga Htcnberg ycslerday were two
men , Harry McOco nnd James O'liricn.
O'lirioii had been arrested for
trying to defraud the St. James hotel out
of a board bill , and McJco ( , who was
slopping at the sumo place , was looked
up as a suspicious character. Yesterday
MeGeo plead eloquently for his re
lease , claiming that ho was a jockey and
'was on his way to Memphis to attend
the spring races , ox-pectini : lo ride some
of tiio fubt her es there. 0'Hrien claimed
that ho was an honest , hard-working
painter and had como to Omaha to look
lor work. Both in on contradicted them
selves in several important particulars ,
and Judge Stenberg began lo sus
pect that Ihoy word not telling
thu truth. Ho nt once dispulchcd
nn ofllcor lo tlio hotel and procured the
vnliso containing the ellccts of both men.
Opened , it was found to contain a mis
cellaneous assortment of marked cards
and gamblers' tools , clmck'a-luck oullit ,
do. , el . , proving conclnhively that the
two men were sports , and possibly some
thing worso. In ono corner of the
satchel was a hypodermic syringe , Used
for injecting morphine jnto" the system ,
by the morphine Jiends.
After the morning examination McGee
nnd O'Hrien remanded'back '
were to jail ,
when the former brokoi into tears and
informed Judge Stonborg that he must
have morphine or ( lie. IIo-exhibited his
arms and legs whielnvero completely
covered with scars made by the syringe

butin the afternoon the unfortunate man
was in such a pitiable condition that ho
was given morphine to quiet him.
The proprietor of Iho St. James
hotel appeared nguinst O'lirlen ' later
in the day , and the latter
was sentenced lo pay a line of $35 , in de
fault of which ho was sent to jail , Mo-
Gee will bo ordered to leave town thif
