A Vnluablo "Ilccj-morut"-.JuJKO Untidy on HticUot Shop Notes. Tlio Hullrontl War. Htnr Houtc Frauds. It transpires that the officials In the postal inspector's department arc engaged In sifting down some startling star rotitf ) contrnct frauds. Tlio extent of these frauds is at present tlifllenlt to determine. Inspector Spnngler , to whose diligence nnd sharpsiglitedncss , the de tection of the crookedness is due , re fuses to say anything about the matter. "If 1 should give anything away nt pres ent , it would probably compromise- cane. " Enough was found out , however , to dclinltely settle it Hint the frauds arc in the shape * of forgeries in the heavy bonds which the star Jotito contractors in Nebraska are required to furnished. These bonds nro seldom less than .foO.OOO in amount , find ninirn to much higher amounts , ac cording to the importance of the con tracts. The postal oflicials have discov ered that Homo of those bonds are bozus , and utterly worthless for all purposes for which such documents are drawn up. In many cases the names arc bogus , and in other ways the undertakings arc fraudu lent. It is believed that tlteso bad bonds , which arc rc.ally the only protection the government has against dishonest con tractors , have been used to cover up dis honest transactions. At any rate , while the full amount of the wicked ness may not bo disclosed , it is certain that some now and Interesting star route disclosures will bo made. Tlio crooked ness was discovered in the bonds of con tractors controlling extensive slar routes in western and northwestern Nebraska. The prosecution of the matter willthere fore , fall to United States District Attor ney Lamberlson. Assistant District At torney Ilartlett was scon by a reporter for the BEE to-day , with regard to the matter , but was not prepared tostatu anything , ilo said , however , that the frauds had been located in the bonds furnished by the dishonest star route contractors. Hall Matter * . Paisengcngor Agent Grovoy , of the Union Pacific , was culled upon Saturday of bravo the wrath of seventy railway labor ers nt the transfer , who were clamoring for transportation to Colorado over his lino. Tlioy had been sent to Council Hlnfls from St. Paul , where n dishonest employment agent had taken all their money"and booked them , as ho claimed , through to Colorado , whore they were to got work. They were a very angry set , of men Saturday were looking around for somebody to lynch. M. Suitor , llio gentleman who presides over the Union Pacific train from Colum bus to Norfolk , was in town yesterday. Train Dispatcher Uoyd was on hand Saturday when llio Grand Island train rolled about thirty minutes late in the do- pot. It was found she had boon waiting for ono of the branch trains which was lif- tccn minutes behind time , and that it had been flagged once for a pile driver nnd again for another reason when it had en tered upon the double track. With reference to tiio train being de tained a few blocks from the depot , as referred to in Friday's UEI : , Mr , lioyd said that the umo of the train could not bo changed without making it an hour later. The Grand Island had to meet the west bound pas senger either in the depot or on the double track which oxlendcdonly ; several miles out. If it did not meet it at some of these places , it would have to wait for it at Gilmore , which would con- BUinn at least an hour. While this is true , it seems to some people who are getting to appreciate the train in question , that if track three in the depot \verrt \ kept as clear for the Grand Island as. that of number two is for the Missouri 1'acillo , the train in question would have a place good enough for the alighting of its passengers , and no time would bo wasted in lying at the skirts of the yards. Notwithstanding the assertion of Mr. Sago , general froigh manager of the C. 11.1. & P. , to u IJKis reporter n few days ago , n war has already been inaugurated on llio freight rates between Chicago and this point. The presence of Mr. Sago Iiero , it was thought , had more or less to do with the situation because ho had no sooner looked over the field and conferred with some of our mer chants hero and transmitted his informa tion to headquarters , than the cut began. Thi ) Hook Island was joined in tlio break by tlio Burlington and Northwestern roads , each of which is now busily engaged - gaged In issuing and preparing its tariff slieet and issuing instructions to agents. Tlio rates are cut from Chicago to Council BlullQ and this city. The llr.st class rate from the former point to this city until further notice will bo fifty cents per 100 pounds ; the second class forty cents ; the third class twenty-live cents and tlio fourthfiftccn owns and the lifth , ten cents. The nowK of this cut arrived Saturday and Immediately fa reporter of the JJKB called upon Mr. Nash , of the U. , M. & St. 1' , , and asked what ho pronosa to do."We "We have already met the cut. " wns Ills laconic reply. "Does this moan war ? " asked the re porter , "Yes , I gucssMvo'll have a little nmtinoo all around. " The rates above mentioned is a reduc tion of about sixty percent. It is expected that- freight rules to the northwest and also Interior points in Iowa , Minnesota and Dakota are also badly involved , and n general war throughout that territory is anticipated , 8 , N.

B/VCUKO / HEiYUT AOADI2MYI Closlnu Exercises on Friday After noon. The study room of the Sacred Heart academy was transformed ou Friday into u carpeted , curtained , pictured and dec- or\tcd ; hull for the annual commence ment oxcrcUcs. A finely executed hall "Interior" on canvns hung upon the west walli through the main opening of which was observed an excellent view of the bay of Naples , Both of these scones \vero painted by the mcsdames Of the ticadomy , They were particulat'ly ! ' . < propriato to the "Sicilian Kpisodo , " Which formed one of the features of the programme. There wofo sixty-two students In atten dance ranging In years from tun to uigthcou. All were clad in white and in various degrees of richness nnrt beauty. They were ranged oif cither side ot the ' ; ! ! , ami la tlio middle of the north .rows stood a beautiful , array of hooks , wre nths ribbon"and ) medals. Al 0 150 o'clock Bishop O'Oonnbr. ac companied by Fathers McCarthy , Cola- nori , Daxnchcr and Jcnnnctto took the scats assigned to them. They wore shortly joined by Fathers Shallcl and Koopmans ot tlio church ot the Holy Family and Father Dowling nnd Messrs. Garland and Ilcman of Crcighton col- k'go.The The ! entrance was niado to the music of Baker's "Entree Caprice , " very finely rendered on two pianos by Misses Me- Crcary , Hellman , Station ) , and Weaver. "Sicilian " beautiful A Episode" was n sketch illustrating the immediate scenes which preceded tlio sci/.uro of the realm of .loautui of Naples by Charles of Diira/.zo , and her enforced abdication- Incidental to these was an episode show Ing the ingratitude of tlio Countess of Provence , whoso jewels , Us requested by Joanna might Invo secured a money lender , to provide food for tlio garrison of the bck-agured city until succor should arrive. Despite the fact of the indebtedness of the countess to the queen , the jewels wore refused until it had be come too lato. They were then offered and feelingly declined. ! The piece is ono of quiet , easy action and of such n subdued character as one might imagine would have been appro priate In the surrounding' ! nnd presence of a saintly women like .Joanna. It was beautifully written , and while devoid of intense dramatic fervor , was fol lowed with interest by the auditors. Mi s Clara Crcighton idealized the char acter of .Joanna. Miss Gregg as the Marchioness of llvn was an ardent sun- porter of the ill-fattid queen , as were also the Lady Agnes and Constance of Miss McIItigli and Miss Hamilton respectively. Miss Hollman as Margaret of Durax/.o adequately showed regret at the usurpa tion of her relative , while Miss Babcock enacted the unwelcome part of tlio Coun tess of Provence with mtulligeiino and oU'ecl. Dura/.xo's children were repre sented by Misses P. Lowe and M. Nash. Miss Nash and Mies IJcllonc alternated at the piano and harp in playir.g"Keinin- isceuces Italionucs" by Obortlieur and "Beatrice Ii Fonda , " by Bochsa. In the first mentioned oll'ort Miss Nash presided at tlio piano , in the second nt tlio harp. The playing of both pieces and by each of the instrumentalists was a beautiful treat. Bcviguani's "Flower Girl , " a diflieull , piece , was sung in light , airy and birdlike - like manner by Miss P. Lowe , a young lady not yet in teens. Her higher notes wore particularly clear , and her execu tion of the trills and runs was in some souse remarkable. She was gaily decked with ( lowers and bore a basket of fra grant specimens in her hand , which she linally loft before the bishop. Miss May McNamara recited the "Painter of Seville , " with keenest appre ciation of its beauties. The great vocal success of the enter tainment was the duet , Boissolot's "Queen and Her Minister , " by Misses Babcock and 1C. Crcighton. The voices of those young ladies are rich , round and musical. The piece is of an operatic na ture and was acted ns well as sung , thus giving a dual pleasure to the audience. A vocal trio "Alto o la notte oscura , " followed and a grand duo on two pianos , Miss C. Crcighton and Miss Dollono closed the entertainment. The distribution of prizes then took place as follows : Honorary distinctions Tlio second medal lion and second blue ribbon were awarded by the votes of the implls , ratified by those of tlio teachers to Misses Clara Crclgliton and Hclle Jones ; third blue ribbon to Misses Millie Stephcnson ami Mary Davcy ; fourth to Miss Mary Miillin : tilth to Misses Minuio ( iiithman and Lorctta Dclloiie : sixth to Misses Bessie Steiitienson and Hello Weaver ; green ribbon , Misses Minnie ( ioos , Anna Travnor , Mertto Stafford , Wilhclminu Lowe , honlsa Miicdonougli ; pini : ribbon to Misses Miiry iVabh , I'aullno Luwe , Mary JCccl and Ella ( iibbons.

Tlio Proprietor , the Dcnlcr nnd the fllnii Who "Stands In" The Sboc-strltiK Gambler liny. inu Uascball Pools- The number of persons in Omaha who bow at the shrine of the licklo goddess of fortune is legion. Gambling lias never sullbred severe repression in this city ; tlio consequence is that the ( Sate City has come to bo widely known as the sporting man's naradiso. There are no less than ton ( linbrontgnmllnjr establishments here , nearly all , if not nil , doing a flourishing business. Of the men who make a profession of gambling there are probably not over sixty-live or seventy in this city at the present time , These figures , of course , are subject to considerable variations from time to time. And they represent many dlfl'crcmt classes. First , there arc the men who run or deal for the games. An individual of this class is a gentlemanly fellow , who generally has plenty of money and knows Itow to spend it. Sometimes it goes for fast women , occasionally for fast horses , and more often for costly diamonds and high living. He is a good nntiired indi vidual with a polish of manner wnicli becomes him mightly a certain suavity which is with him always. Ilo is well- dressed , not flashily ns most people imagine , out in a style of quiet elegance which shows that his tastes are nuiiiis- tnkcably those of the gentlemen. Ilo generally supports a mistress who quite troquontlv presides over some imposing mason dejoio , and who is devotedly at tached to him. You may see him any afternoon sunning himself in front of the establishment in which ho owns a propri etor interest ( or in which ho deals ) , smok ing a cigar and calmly awaiting the opening of the gamo. By his side , very likely , you will observe - servo a representative of another class. of sports , the man who is on the inside of the game. While neither proprietor or dealer ho is generally regarded as "standing in , " and is' enabled to win where the less favored would lose. Ho is , as a rule , provided with plenty of money nnd spends it without stint. Ho , too , is well dressed and supports a mistress. It is a singular fact that a gambler seldom marries. There arc , however , notable local exceptions to this rule. Some of the men \y\\o \ make a living by gamine have families to whom they are as de votedly attached as the most loving father and husband. There is still another class of sports which , alack I is well represented in Omaha. They arc the "tin-horn" or "shoo .string" gambjers , nnd they bear about the same relation to the first-class gamesters that the pettifogger and shyster do to the first class lawyer. The terms "tin horn" "shoestring" are de risive in their significance , and have reference to the small stakes for which these fellows play. A "tin horn" gam bler has a bad intuit of continually asking his acquaintances for a small loan of twenty-five or fifty cents. Sometimes , it is for the purpose of getting him into the "game , " and sometimes to buy him a meal. Ho is generally "strapped" 'and is never known to bo tlio possessor of more than live or ten dollars lars nt a. time. Quito often ho is crooked a confidence man , or sneak .thief. He belongs , in fact , to the cum of the profession , and as such is dcspi. cd by his more fortunate brethren. The "capper" or "steerer" is a well- dressed , polished , sua-ve individual , who may bo seen any day standing on a down-town corner , calmly picking his toctlt and awaiting his victim. Ho is also to bo seen in the hotel rotundas , and oc casionally bags some big came there. His business is to "steer" the inno cents into the house for which ho is work ing , and engage them in a healthy game of poker or faro. As his victims lese so docs the stcorer gain. He is the cpni- merclal drummer of the sporting pro fession. The paved streets of Omaha constitute his territory , his customers arc tlio visitors from the "rooral doostricks , " ami his sample case is his imagination. Like tj'.o commercial traveler , ho is cheeky and n liar. It's all in the trade. The newly opened up baseball and turf pool rooms in the sporting quarter of tlio city afford ono an excellent opportunity to study another class of devotees at the shrine of tiic licklo goddess. Omaha' sports have but recently had tlio oppor tunity to buy French or combination pools on baseball nnd turf events. So far they have imuroyctl it excellently , The baseball pools are especially welt patronized. It requires good judgment to pick out the winning clubs beforehand in such a manner as to select the lucky combination which is bound to scoop in the shekels. Old and staid merchants slip in once in a while and buy a ticket iiiKt for the excitement of the thing , 1'hero is ono well-known business mau who never fails to patronize tlio stand daily. Ho is generally lucky , and once in n while succeeds in carrying off a heavy not. The Union Pacific and B. & M. head quarters clerks arc steady buyers of base ball pools. It is no uncommon thing to BOO them slip in during tlio noon hour by tlio tens or _ dozens and load up heavily on the combinations which their judgment tells them to select. So far , however , none of them have made a fortune by this mild , fascinatingspeeiesof gambling : The dude dry goods clerk is the ropro- scntutlvo of another class of patrons of the pool rooms. Ho is conservative and rarely or never hots over fifty cents , the lowest limit on any ono combination. If he is a winner , lie rakes in his share of the "htnko" with the air of a professional gambler , goes offttnd gotshowliiig drunken on solt/.cr , pop or ginerer ale Ho may bo seen in large numbers any day , during the noon hour , studying the boards and preparing for the reckless dissipation of betting. Tlio professional gambler is anohert steady patron of the base ball pool stands. Unfortunately ho cannot "stand in 'on tlio gamo" tuid has to take his chances with the other combination buyers. As a gen eral thing his luck is no better than that of other people who buy lie little red and white tickets. U Nor do the pool sc depend en tirely upon the sterner illcrs r patronage. There uro two young lu > spx foi this city wo sibly more who inif.dles it the fusel. nation. They are both dJgo n { n a down town dry goods store , nnd'erks both en thusiastic over the nutiona' ' nro They conceived one day , ) from ov spo * lng tlio conversation of a couple o-'c''houVIllcni ono of whoin had made a IncK. Winning ) the notion of testing their success at pool buying. They have indulged in the fas cination over since , ( buying by proxy , of course ) and it said that they have been extremely fortunate. For obvious reasons , no hints are made which might lead to the disclosure of the ideality of the darlings. WOUTHbESS NOTES. Judge Diuidy llolda That Option tcnl Contracts Are Void. Judge Dually rendered an important decision Saturday bearing upon fop- tlon gambling contrucst , iu the case of Fred K. Boot of Chicago vs. Lewis Mor- riam. The suit was one brought to re cover on. two notes given by Merriam to ft Chicago firm to cover a shortage on an .option deal. One of them for J310.25 , was given to Morton & Bennett , a bucket shop firm , and another for $500 to Thomas Bennett. Before ( he time for payment of the notes had come thyo were sold to Itoot , the plaintiff in this suit. Merriam , who is a lieutenant of the Fourth infantry at Fort Niobrlara refused to pay them , nnd Boot , who claimed to be an innocent purchaser , brought suit against him. Judge Dundy reiuleral his decision this morning in favor of Merriam. Ho holds that as under the laws of Illinois , tvhure the contract was entered into , such notes have been held to bo void nnd worthless , the same ruling \yill apply in this case. The notes being issued on an option con tract , which is a vicious species of gamb ling , wore known by the payees , Martin and Bennett , to be worthless. Such be ing the rase , Hoot has no right to set up that ho was an innocent purchaser , lib should have known at the time the notes were purchased that they were perfectly worthless. Ignorance of the law is not a good plea in this case , no matter whether or not Hoot purchased the notes in good faith. Judgment for the defendant , Lewis Morrlain , has accordingly been en- tot cd up. tiOOacres land in Thayer county , Neb. , to sell or trade for merolmuilbo.

A Lowell , Mass. , dispatch says : Father Peter Crudden , who was pastor of St. Peter's Catholic church in this city from 180to } February , 188.1 , when ho died left the snug fortune -ftOO.UOO. . His sister , Margaret Crudden , about Jifty-livo years old , inherited all this with t.ho exception of real estate in Ireland , worth about Sj ri.OOO , which was given to brothers and other sisters who live. , there. When the will was made public 'about a year ago it was understood that 'Archbishopvil - Hams of Boston , would enter suit.against the executrix and favorite in the will , Miss Margaret Crudden , but until a few days ago nothing was done. An investi gation has been in progress for about six months by the representatives of the archbishop , George F. and Daniel S. Richardson , whicli lias resulted in the es tate of Miss Crudden in this city and a neighboring town being attached . It was all quietly done , with the view that a settlement might bo made before Miss Crudden took her departure for Ireland to make it her permanent residence. Ono of the lawyers said to the World correspondent to-day that they had a good case against the estate in the in terest of tlio church It looked rather queer , he said , that a priest on a salary of 000 a year could amass a fortune of JOO.OOO. The rules of the Catholic pastors , it appears , say that they shall turn in to their archbishop all money above certain expenditures. The .suit is based on the fact that Father Crudden neglected to keep strictly to this rule , and that his casli returns nro not what they should have been. The property which goes to make up the $500,000 is in water bonds of different cifics about hero , in real estate in this city , Lynn , Ayrcs city , and other places in Massachusetts , in Illinois and other parts of the west , and in Ireland. Some of the relatives of the dead priest wore cut ofl with n dollar and n small part of the real estate in Ire land , and the executrix , Margaret Crud den , takes all the rest. The Archbishop , it is said , found fault with the condition of the church property under tlio care of Father Crudden , Many needful repairs wore not made ami the whole church building was in a bad way. The church needed enlarging- accom modate tlio largo and prosperous congre gation , but this was not done. These facts being known to tlio Archbishop ho was displeased at the sense of the will. The fact that the Archbishop did not at tend the funeral of Father Crudden wns much commented on as an unusual pro- cceding when the old pastor Avas buried. Miss Crudden is looked upon with much disfavor. She was close to her brother , the jiimtor , for many years , and some time before his deatli it was re ported that he was not in the full pos session of his senses. He was in feeble health for years. The case attracts in tense interest from clergy and laity , nnd its solution will bo eagerly awaited. Absolutely Pure. TbU powder never vurio * .
