THE IIIE LARGEST IN OMAHA , Frederick L. Ames to Erect a Big Business Block in this Oity , A Y , ( VI , C. A.- YOUNG MAN. s TlicMctli- oillst Unvlvnl Tlio Klcvcniti HU Trouble Oilier Local No\vs Notes. Ames Bin Uloclr. Among tlio real cstato transfers pub lished hi the HrK of Saturday , the one Hint attracted the moat attention was the following : K II Cntlln ( single ) to Frederick TJ .Ames , jiait of It l , bile 120 , Omaha , w il-Slo,000. Mr. Ames , as is well known , is ono of the principal owners of the Union Pa cific , and Is olio of the wealthiest men in the United States. This i.s his first invest ment in Omaha real estate , and it was negotiated during his recent visit to this city in company with Charles Francis Adams. At that time lie made a careful survey of the city nnd was struck with its wonderful improvements during the last In o years. JIo concluded to make u largo invest ment in Omaha and erect a largo block. The ahove purchase of part of lot 1 , block 120 , is the twenty-two foul , two doors west of the Omaha Savings bank , on IJoiiglas street. Arrangements have boon made to purcha.se the remaining forty- four feet of the lot , thus giving a front age of sixty-six fuel on Douglas and eighty feet on Thirteenth. It is the in tcntion of Mr. Ames to tear down the buildings and erect in their place a six- Mory block to cost over $100,000. , This block is to-be made the handsomest bus- ! ness building In Omaha. The plans are to be drawn by a Boston architect. It will ho u lireproof"structure , and will bo called the Ames block. Work will probably bo begun on it in a few weeks , and an cllbrt will bo made to have it completed next fall. The Omaha Savings bank , of which Hon. Guy Barton is president nnd prin cipal owner , will occupy the same loca tion in the new building that it now has in the old block. Mr. Ames has been in duced to make this investment in Omaha principally thiough the efforts of Mr. llarton , nnd in all probability it will bo followed by other heavy invest ments by him and his associates. BATLKV'S HAD lillGAK. A Y.M. O. A. ProtCKO Uols Ills Hone- Gco. Bntloy is the name of a pale , mild looking young man who came to Omaha about four weeks ngo and sought and gained the confidence of some of the good people of this city. Ho has played the part of the "viper in the bosom , " and IH now wanted by his benefactors , whom ho has deceived and outraged most cruelly. Batloy came to Omaha , friendless , moneyless and without the prospect of obtaining immediate employment. Ho fell in with the loading members of the Y. M. C. A. bore , who at once became inter ested in ms case , Tlioy took him in , clothed him and fed him. Mr. Joplin , the secretary of the local branch , was par ticularly kind to him and found him odd jobs about town , so that ho managed to make a pretty fair living. Ho seemed to uo a very honest open young fellow ( ho gave his age as 10 _ years ) nnd his story , to the effect that the great strikes in Chicago had deprived him of employment was calculated to procnro no little sympathy for him. Several days iigo , he was reccomended to Mrs Wood , living on upper Farnam .street near Twenty-fourth , who n eded a young man Jo do work about the house. The lady employed him , after satisfying herself by the references offered that ho was an honest young man. Batloy did his work well , and all went smoothly until yester day. Ho wont away early in the morn ing , nnd did not show up during tlio day. At night ho was still absent and Mrs. Wood beg m to suspect something was wrong , She made a search and found that two $100 bills which she had placed in her reticule in ono of the closets. wore missing. She at once suspected that Batley was the thiof. Mr. Jojilin of the Y. M. C. A. went over to Council Bluffs yesterday and found , Euro enough that a young man answering Bntley's description , had purchased a ticket to Chicago via. the Northwestern , offering in pay ment therefore , one of thn "centuries. " Marshal Cummings yesterdy scut telegrams to the police in Chicago , ordering Batloy' sarrcst , nnd ho al.so notilicd tlio conductor on the Northwestern tram which lett hero last evening to bo on the lookout for tlio nbscondur , and not allow him to leave the train. THK OUUILKU. Closing SCCIIOH of tlio Methodist Itovtvnl. Perhaps no service since the beginning presented the same measure of attraction us tiio closing exorcises at the exposition building on Sunday night , which Pastor JloKaig pleases to call the jubilee incut- ing. As a prelude a few songs were sung , and Rev. I. A. Brodrick led in an inspiring prayer. Kov. Mr. Savidgo then introduced Air. B. U. Patterson , and the latter stated that ho had been chosen by a committee to present an interesting feature , and ono which appear of moro interest after the people might know what it is. lie stated that Mr. MoKaig was impatient to get at the work of saving souls , and ho nuwtboqulck in getting before the people ple the question of paying the remnant of the liability for the rent of the build ing now being used for the meetings. Mr. MeKaig preferred paying the full Rinount unholpcd , but wu have taken the matter out of his hands , and the people will holp. Mr. Patterson has more than common-good gifts for such work , and displayed skill in getting the matter before - fore the audience. The response from the audience was liberal and in a little while $700 was promised. This MICCOSS scorned to increase the enthusiasm , and tko song following w.i3 rendered with good cheer , a largo part of the mi- aienco participating. Ilcv. Mr. MeKaig followed tins un with onn of the most earnest and thrilling jtulks ho over made in Omaha , and was re peatedly cheered in a very decorous man ner , but it came from all over the house , Ho said : " 1 thought at first of taking a of the meeting to provide for guarantee Vfct * W * > JUV4tlH * w | ' * t * J * U * Wio puvtuont of the hire ot this building , nndM \ might might remain I would pay myself. Hut in talking with some of the brethren , they preferred nutting it olV till the lust service and take it nil up at once. " After tluis cxplAining he contin ued , "Tho jubilee of old hud us n cnnili. tion that every participator should bo out of debt nnd iree. I nm glml we can say to-nlglit wo nro out of debt and free ! And th'.it nbout four hunurud people Imvc "iv > en us their names and have had tholr debts forgiven. " Ho gave an instance of nm : in Kimland who was saved and nt n\o b jian pronchingsulrntlon , "At tlio firsRmeotiug the nudtoueo 'ns disappointed - pointed because ho was n poor talker. At the ne t so few nttendcd that he con cluded to Invite persons to his oOico , to pay their debts , so tlmt ho might prlvntcly talk to them about tlio great salvation. Only two came nt the time appointed. He paid their debts nnd then conversed with them nbout tlioir souls. Another cnmc too Into. And the same will be the case with you. Christ will pay your debts if you come to him , nnd como in time , U Lord , help the people ple to come. Many ot you nro not free ; come niitl bo frcctl from pin. You know what it is to bo lu jail nnd thus deprived of your freedom. I liavo been In jail. I was live times in prison , nearly starved , dirty nnd ragged. I recollect seeing the boy.s in blue coming trampIrani ) ) , trump. I could hardly stand up , anil was nslmmcd to stand In my nigt , but when I s.tw the Hag of the republic unfurled nnd waving , 1 straightened up nnd .shouted. 1 had tlio power of several evangelists to shout. 1 felt ns if I was in heaven. 1 was free. Do you want your freedom ? You who know not the salvation of ( ! od uro in prison. Get your freedom by faith n Jesus , and be happy in the enjoyment of liberty. " Kov. C.V. . Savidgo followed , saying , lirothur MoKuig lias snid tlmt four hun dred have come in since the meeting be gan , und ( lint n thousand have doubtless been uH'cclcd by the meeting , till , in the judgment , a glorious record will bo made ' 'Personally , ' said he , "L have received a gn.-nt baptism dining this meeting. 1 sought , and by faith , found tlio priceless boon of a complete salvation. I would not lose the experience for the world. I luivo had no wrong thought since last Thursday night. I snail hereafter preach this freedom from sin. " oMr. Hitler said , "lluxvepnly got time t say u few words. 1 didn't want to come to Omaha , when Drothor McKaig asked mo to assist in the mooting. lut ? i teel ( hat the meeting hay made mo kind red to you ; anil thcao brethren feel so to wards you the people of Omalia. May the holy .spirit give us a guest to-night. One man since I have boon hero said to me , 1 wai an active church member in Philadelphia , but I have neglected my duty , and urn backslidden. But in listen ing to preaching I resolved to como back to Christ. " Tim newspapers liavo aided us through the press. Tlu-ir reporters have , with rnro exceptions given us very fair and faithful reports of the service , nml I urn indebted to the large choir that lias so assisted in the meetings of such Ion ? continuance. And i want to say , also , that I have never labored with a pastor that lias been so ar dent and lovable.Vo liavo labored to gether in the closest Christian fellow ship , and I must say , also , that ho is the first pastor with whom i have worked as an evangelist that kept ahead of mo. He has kept ahead , and 1 couldn't help it. " Mr. Ititlur followed his remarks with a thrilling prayer , ami then gave an invi tation to people to become Christians , saying he would never give another invi tation to people to come to Christ in this building. "HOUSE TI111SF GROVE. " A I'cdtllcr'o Ghost Story A. Mystery Solved. A party of men. representing various traveling professions , were sitting in the ollice of n Tenth street hotel hist evening relating their adventures and experiences to an interested party of listeners I being the notion peddlers turn , ho began : "It happened some live years : igo about eight miles cast of a little town in south western Iowa. The county for miles around had been worked up to a heat of excitement over the report of strange things seen nnd noises heard in nnd around n place called "Horse Thief Grove. " I happened in the vicinity nbout the time things were the hottest and immediately made up my mindfrom the stories , that there was trickery in the strange lights scon. ' 'Horse Thief Grove" received its nnmo some eighteen or twenty years ngo by common consent of the neighborhood , owing to two horse thieves having been bhot nnd buried there by a vigilance committee. The remains of n "jiino monument" is nil that marks the spot whore the little mounds used to be. As the grove is located in a hollow , nnd is thickly grown with under brush , it is very gloomy indeed , moro so especially when it is supposed to harbor the uneasy spirits of n brace of criminals whoso bodies were buried in it. The graves nre in the center. Around them nro four of the largest trees , whoso branches meet nbove und form a leaty canopy. The reports were that nt 1U o'clock each Friday night blue and white lights wore seen to rise from the grave nnd disappear in the branches above. Not one among the surrounding settlers could be found bravo enough to make an attempt to ferret out the mystery. As before stated i happened along about this time and had soon made up my mind that the whole affair was due to some mischievous mortal. Well , one Friday night at the time when good folks tire in bed , 1 nut n ] > istol in my pocket nnd slipped down to the grave. During the day I invoMigated mutters. I knew exactly where to go. It was nearly time for the performance to ot > cn up. There was an eager and expectant crowd on a hill at a convenient distance waiting to see the lights. I mentally decided to give them an afterpiece , that night , ns I lay snugly concealed under the bushes near the graves. 1 did not liavo long to wait before I heard the sounds I had been ex pecting the trampling of feet near mo. Looking up cautiously 1 beheld two sons of my host , two very mischievous lads , carrying a rope and lantern with blue and whlto glass. Everything was plain to mo now. The boys would creep up a narrow ami deep ditch to the graves. By the aid of a rope running over a pul ley fastened in the trees they could run tlio lantern up and down while concealed in the brush some distance oil' , relying on the superstitions fear of the others to prevent discovery. After they had every thing arranged nnd had run the lantern up once I commenced haying something in a terrifying voice. Thov dropped everything nnd started through the brush like frightened sheep. I lira ! a few shots , gave a blood curdling yell and quietly slipped back to the house. Next morning the excitement was terrible - riblo to witness. My host's house , being the nearest was crowded with men wearing nn awed expression , some as if they expected n dire calamity. After hearing the various eonjcctures'und sug gestions I arose and told my story. My statements were bornn out by liml'mg the rope and lantern. Nothing but tlioir ex treme youthfulness saved th perpetra tors from something worse than the gen tle caresses of a hickory switch. Ileft the next day but I'll ' warrant that was the last of the ghost of "Horso Thief Orovo.

TUB TITANS' STIltJGaLilS For Possession of the Iiot on liCftvcn- worth nnd Eleventh Streets. The dispute between the Union rAciflc nnd the gas company as to the ownership of the lot on the northeast corner of Eleventh nnd Lcavcnworth streets .re mains as it was on Saturday last , No Incursion , as had been expected , was nindoby the Union Pacific forces Salur- d"y night. The gas men aio on hand in good numbers. A number of them are fii constant patrol of the company's prop erty , while others are convenient to respond - spend to any alarm. All of them nro heavily aimed and instructed , when directed , to repel any further invasion by direst force. . . . A reporter for the HUB called upon Claim Agent Manchester yesterday to learn the Union Pacific's side of the con test with reference to the lot on the north west corner of Eleventh nml Lcavcn worth streets. The information gained was that the claim that the gls ; company owned the lot in question was false. Over the southern part of it and lot seven immediately wost.tfio Union Pacific claims to have a right of way , which it knows it can provo nt any time. This right wa % granted manj' years ago when the main track of the Union Pacilic was that now running along Leaven- worth , on each side of which the right extended 101) ) foot. Within this distance ! H included a part of lots 7 and 8. The part ot lot 7 so included is anil has been for many years occupied by the gas _ com pany with its conl sheds. This part , Mr. 'Murphy , speaking for tlio company , informs the Union Pacilic , is looked upon as the property of the former , from the fact that it has been in its possession for a number of years. With reference to lot 8 , it was recently owned by a party named Cnllalinn , nnd was so 'frequently overrun with fetid water from the gas works that he sued the latter company and recovered dam ages. The gas company then induced the Union Pacilic road to buy the lot , because Callnhan would never sell to the gas people The fco to thin lot , Mr. Man chester claims , was never given to Mr. Mnrphv , nnd is , in fact , now held by the Union Pacilic , and it is claimed to show that the part of the lot sold to the gas company was that north of the north line of the right of way of the Union Pacific. This fact the latter is willing to concede , but it is enthusiastically op posed to admitting that all of the lot , or even all 01 lot 7 , is the property oftthc gas company. Mr. Manchester clnims that limit , of the road's right of way is clearly defined in all the earlier trans fers , and that the matter cannot be con- rtavcrtod. If this bo true , the road can ely claim to a triangular piece of both lots , running from a point about thirty- live feet on Eleventh street north of Lcavonworth to n point on the south western line sf lot 7. There is also a small fraction in lot 0 , but that is too small to trouble nbout. United States Court. In the United States circuit court yes- yesterday Judge Brewer gave decision in two cases. The lirst was that of D. M. Tomlin , of Arnpnhoc to enjoin the collec tion of a judgment held by Toolo , Sher man & Co. , and Locknwood , Englchardt & Co. The decree was in favor of the de fendants on the proposition that the as signment of W. 7 , Tavlor to D. M. Tom lin was a fraud , winch instead of pos sessing the swcut. flavor of honest , swell- , cd like the body of Lazarus after it' ' had lain several days in the grave , and that Taylor and Tomlin were parties to it. The other was that of Win. Verhuscs , of Madison , \Vis. , to enforce a judgment of ? 2lpO against Kyron &Ticrnoy. Tier-1 n oy is the proprietor of the house" of that name in Tccnmseli in this htatc , nnd it , was sought to levy upon that as also eighty acres in the immediate vi cinity of tlie town. The decree of the court was that the hotel was beyond reach of attachment because it might bo con sidered the homestead of the defendant , nnd also because of the statute of limita tion. It ruled however that the eighty acres could be subjected to n licnbecnuso it ap peared that Ticrnoy's ' assignment of the same to his wife after lie hnd purchased it out of the income of the hotel , wns evidence of fraud and would not stand. The defendant was represented by Ap- plegato & Son , of Tecumseh , and the plamtin" by Arthur Wtikcloy , who wns warmly congratulated by older members of the bar on his success. Robert Seymour , ono of the indicted Dcnverites. who were arraigned hero last winter for land frauds , was brought into court yesterday afternoon to give bail for his appearance nt the next term of court. In view of the met that there will bo no court for six months , Seymour wa.s allowed to go on his own recog nisance. Notes. Krug , the brewer , is excavating on Farnam street , near Tenth , for a double throe-Mory brick store 41x120. The de sign is of n beautiful style , in which ar tistic arches and ornate trimming ap pear. The material will bo brick nnd blue stone. The building will cost $25,000. Krug is also to build n two-story brick barn on tlie corner of Jones and Eleventh street , immediately south of his immense brewery. It will bo UD\8. > feet , nnd com plete the brick front from Jackson to Jones. Adjoining this on the cast will bo erected a building 22x120 feet , of the MUIIO height and with the bamo front , to cost ? 12,000. This will bo built by A. J. Pop- pleton. The gas company nro nbout to erect a brick generating house 33x00 , immedi ately east of the present structure. They nro also working on a brick limo house 17x20 , also a gns holder I.rx87 ? ) } } , capable of containing 175,000 , cubic feet of gas. The company is now putting in anew ex haust to exhaust gas from the now holder into that quite recently built. There is work for a largo number of men. Medical Matters. Drs. Cofl'iminn , Neville , Denise , Swot- nnm , Moore , Gnlbrnith nnd Link have returned from Si. Louis , whore they went to attend the session of tlio United States Medical association. "I want to express my opinion on behalf of my associates that St , Louis is the best place in the world to bo entertained , " said Dr. Coll- maun. "St. Louis has moro handsome women than any city in the country , except - cept Omaha , " incidentally remarked the doctor , who is n good judge of female beauty. "Tho meeting of the associa tion next year , " continued ho , "will beheld held In Chicago. The International Med ical congress will also meet next year , In Washington. Dr. Davis , pf Chicago , is president of the International Medical congress , nnd Dr. Hamilton , of the navy , is secretary , The best medical talent of the world will bo in nltendanco , nnd it will bo nn important meeting. Congress should make suitable appropriation fo pay the expenses , as the results of this assembly of eminent mcdlonl men will bo a benefit to the world in general. Among other matters that will be discussed will be epidemics nml Quarantine regula tions. " _ That Mandamus.

A graduate in a full course from a normal receives when commencing to tench tlio full salary of $70 per monlli. A grad uate of the high school , without oXporl- cnco , if employed at all , receives but if 10. A teacher from a graded school re ceives a certain amount of pay for Hint , while ono from nn ungraded school , no matter what her experience , has to com mence at the lowest mini. Air.
