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

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

is anticipated ,

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

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.

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

souse remarkable. She was gaily decked
with ( lowers and bore a basket of fra

Miss May McNamara recited the
"Painter of Seville , " with keenest appre

The great vocal success of the enter

"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

AND GAMESTERS ,
Something Abont Onr Professional Sports
and Their Ways.
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.

HOW DID HE MAKE IT ?
A Priest Iicavcs $ "jOOOOO to Ilia
Sister Action by Church Ollicinls.
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.
