Hall Notes PcrsoimlH Mlilnljjht Ma- ranilcra Tried to Find the Prize Fighters Shaving Corpses Po lice Court liocal , Etc. Vnjjuo Humors. There was n monster K. of L. meeting held Sunday afternoon , at which many representatives of the order In this city were present. The object of the meeting , of course , was kept so far as possible a secret. Ono of the things ac complished , however , wag the voting of further financial aid to the strikers on the Missouri Pacilic system. A system of assessment was arranged therefor. Sonio of those who claim to bo on the inside look mysterious and hint that thcro is soon to bo a general strike among the shopmen and trainmen on the Union Tacilic in support of the Missouri Pacilic strike. Nothing definite about the matter is known at headquarters , though quo gen tleman of high standing in railroad cir cles , said that he would not bo at all sur prised if such n thing wore to occur. "Tho strikers on the Missouri 1'acilic who are trotting worsted , " ho said , "feel dmvii in the mouth , and naturally enough will resort to desperate means. I believe that if our employes strike it will bo purely in sympathy with their brethren in the south , and not because they themselves have any grievances to complain of. " The conductors and brakeman , al though they wore paid lor last month's work on tlio old system , claim that they have not yet secured a satisfactory ad justment of their grievances , and will ykrobably return to seek another con- lonyico witli the ollicials. * " NOTKS ANU I'EHSONALS. i The Union Pacific sends out two sec tions of the overland train every night now , both heavily loaded with passen gers , first-class and emigrant. General Tratllo Manager Kimball , of the Union Pacific has gone to Denver to meet the Adams party. The part } ' will probably travel westward over the lines , returning to Omaha in about ten days. J. T. Clarke , general manager of the St. Paul road , is now in the city. Gco. Stcrnsdorrf is once more at his his desk in the freight department , and the shadows which have hung heavily over that section of the building arc dis pelled. There wore vague rumors of a strike in the Union Pacific shops yesterday but investigation proved the report to bo 'groundless. MIDNIGHT BlA.lt/VUDEftS. / An Incident "Which Might Have Fur- ' nlshcd Corpses For the Coroner. > Early Sunday morning , shortly after , the hour when "gravo yards yawn , " etc. , H ludicrous thing happened at the corner of Thirteenth and Howard , which will furnish pleasant recollections lor certain of the Union Pacilic headquarters clerks for several years to como. , Some of the smooth-faced members of the headquarters force who had just iboon paid oil' had started out early in the evening to have a "good time. " Most of jthoin , as already intimated , wore of .tender ago , and of that particular class whoso highest ambition is to bo con- ( aldcrcd "hlgh-rolloraj" who go about saluting ono another with a " 'ow arc yo , chappie , me boy , " after the manner of the real sports , and otherwise conduct themselves as characters on the turf hould. 1 The members of the gang had bowled up at a lively rate during the evening , 'and as Sunday morning approached , ftrow more and more hilarious. Shortly after midnight some of the more sober in the party proposed that a drug btore be visited for the pur. porso of procuring emetics. All agreed , , &nd a bco line WIIH struck for the nearest drugstore , which happened to bo Spaf. ford's ' , on the corner of Thirteenth and Howard. They rattled and banged at the door , but no answer came. The boys \yoro determined to procure relief , ami crow boisterous in their dosiru to get into the drug store. The night clerk , roused out of a sownl slumber , saw the mob at tthudoorand concluding that burglars had iBwitptdown upon him ma band , jumped \fromhis \ bed and liral several shots in quick succession. The U. P. clerks were thoroughly frightened. They lost no time in dispersing , Eomorunnlng in one direction and some in another. The police cametime just in tinio to cap * lure ono or two of the lleoing youths. but upon haring their story released them at once , Wore Not Given Pointers. The police olllccfd were unable to stop 'the prize light Sunda } .tight , although they Would gladly have done so , if they had .given a correct pointer in time , to in Iho evening vagno rumors of the jiiiH-to-bo began to lloat into police head quarters , but notl ing of a delinito char acter. No ( illbrts at that'tlmo were made to ferret out the matter , and though the Urge gathering of spoiling characters bout ono of the down-town suloons , and the sight of loaded hacks departing for tw west shlo uveiy lu\y moments , gave confirmation to the suspicions of the police that "something was about to drop , " not until the spectators returned from the scene of the light did Captain ( Jormnck learn positively of what the "drop" was to be. Ho secured a number of men and searched every resort in the city high and low , but failed to find the light , and , of course , after an hour or so of bcarching gave up the chase. Sneak ing of the matter yesterday , Captain Cormack stint that if ho had Known the light.wsis to bo outside of the city limits , ho would have endeavored to stop it just the same. It transpired yesterday that Sheriff Coburn issued orders Sunday to his deputies - putios to the olleet that the prize fight must bo stopped tit any cost. Some of his men were scouring the country during the en tire night , but were finally compelled to give up the search. A more disgustcd- looking lot of men than the deputies it would DO dillicult to find SHAVING J > EA.D MEN A Loquacious Barber Toll ? Ills Ex perience With Corpses. "There goes a $5 job , " saidjv barber at the Millard yesterdayr "J wish' ho was my customer , because I'd take tap job if ho was. Sam , though , ain't got no use for shaving dead people. " The reporter who had overheard the re mark , took his seat in Sam's chair , and while his face was being lathered the bar ber began. "It's hard enough work to shave Vive men. I often have to shave tlrunkcn men , but I draw the line at stiffs. " " \ \ by so ? " inquired the reporter , opening his month wide enough to got a good taste of tno soap. "Well , in the first place , it's unpleas ant and then I don't like to monkey around corpses. Uesides , it dulls your razors. Do you know the regular prjco for shaving a dead man ? Seventy-live cents ? Not much. Wo charge * K > , anil don't ' hanker for the work oven at that price. Why , n dead man's beard es pecially if ho has been dead a few hours is just like so much wire. It will nick your razor every time. And then , just think of it , shaving a man who can't un derstand n word you say ! Why , it makes you have the blues for hours. I shaved a stiff once , and may I never got a good edge on a razor again if I didn't talk to him for fifteen minutes without realizing that ho was dead. I just thought ho was a cranky customer who didn't ' like to speak to a barber. There is ono good tiling about it , though , customers of that kind never kick when you happen to make a blip and cut their cheek. "Say , " continued the barber leaning over in a confidential manner , "do you know that 1 believe that lots of people are buried alive. I shaved a dead man once and before I'd got half through the razor slipped and cut a deep gash in his neck. I don't know whether it was nervous action or not but the man opened his eyes and blame mo if ho didn't try to speak. 1 dropped the razor and skipped and have never shaved a dead man since. Ho Saw the Elephant. Charles Nelson and John Fcely are two rustics from the vicinity of Rule , Neb. They came to Omaha last week to see the town. Thoysawit. The sight cost them exactly ? 180. They foil in with some disreputable French women on Twelfth street , and en tered upon a protracted sprco. Fcely soon spent all the money ho had. Sun day afternoon Nelson squandered his last money , but four or live dollars , upon a livery rig , and took a young woman- Viola liusha by name , out for a ride. Tlioy were arrested soon afterwards , and tried and lined in polled court yesterday Nelson paid over all the money ho had to liquidate the line , and departed with his comrade Feely , a sadder , out it is to be hoped , a wiser man. "Tho next time you come to town , " said Judge Stenberg , as ho released the man "don't spend your money on women. As long as you have cash , they treat you mighty well. lint just as soon as that's gone , they throw you overboard. " Confidence Man Caught. Saturday morning William Maxwell , who was on his way to San Francisco , was accosted by a slick-looking fellow , in a saloon on Tenth street , who n&kcil him where ho wasgolng. On being told , the fellow , wliose name Is George Dell , said ho was going to the same place ; that he had no small change , but did have a big cheek ; would Maxwell let him have some money , take the check and then go to the depot and watch his buggago ? Yes , Maxwell was obliging and wouluuo BO , giving him all but * ! tfiOot his money. On inquiring at the depot for Hull's baggage - gage , ho was informed that noonebv that name had anything atthodopot. and was advibcd to report the matter to the police , lie did to , and tlioy have betm on the lookout tor nlm over since. Snndas night Ollleor O'Gradyspotted [ him and took him to the lockup. Yesterday Hell was lined $20 nnd costs and sentenced to imprisonment for thirty days the full limit of the law. His victim lias been suddenly taken with the measles and has been taken to the poorfarm. Arhor Day Observance. Prof. W. II. Smith , the well known weather prophet of Montreal , Canada , writes to Gen. E. F. Test advising that Arbor Day this year ousht to bo observed in Nebraska on May 4th.
