V. 1'aige , tiled an answer to the cross-bill of the Chicago creditors , as lilud by Messrs. Hartletr. Webster and U'akely a day or so ago. This answer enters ti general denial to the statements con tained in the crossbill of the creditors in "the city on the lake. " The defendants deny thai they have en tered into a conspiracy to defraud the other creditors , but aver that the mort gages to them given represent security for actual indebtedness , to which they are by law entitled. They deny that these mortgages were given to shield crookedness of any manner or dcscrin- tion. tion.The The answer further denies that any property has been disposed of in such a way , or at such prices , as to injure the interests of the linn or the creditors. Furthermore , it is denied that Receiver Sloman has refused to show up to the creditors the goods which are stored in tlie establishment , or that the firm had made ' a practice at any time before or since the failure of buying needs in such enormously large quantities or with such intent to defraud eastern linns , as is charged by the plaint- Ifl's. The document in fact enters a sweeping denial to all the material alle gations of the plaintiffs , anil is a compre hensive one of some ten pages It should bo noted that Mr Sloman's retirement from the olltao of receiver was in accordance with his own wishes , and was olleded upon his own motion in the United States court. Mr. Sloman has acted in the matter to the best of his ability , and with a conscientious idea of his duties. The allldavits against him , filed in the United States court , have been withdrawn. * " SII-VHK8 1YITJI lUG MOUTHS. A Justice Case IlcvcnlH n Flagrant Instance or Usury. Yesterdayafternoon | Justice Hclsley commenced the hearingofjacase whicghis decidedly interesting as illustrating the Shyloek methods practiced by some of the money sharks who do business in this city. The title of the suit is Uced & Co. vs. Patrick F. Tarpy , and the history thereof is in brief tins : Some sixteen months ago Tarpy , who is a poor man with a largo family to support , became hard pressed for money and borrowed $180.7(5 ( from Rood & Co. Ho gave a mortgage .on nearly everything ho had to secure the lirm , .including nearly all his household goods , and n horse , wagon and harness. Since that time ho has , for all but three months , paid inter est nt the rate of about $7 a month. This would make the amount lie paid to them about $05. Notwithstanding this , liis indebtedness to the lirm of money loaners has actually increased , for they now hold his note for $160 , or some $30 moro than he originally borrowed. Some few weeks ago he sold the horse and wagon which ho hail mortgaged , after lirbt obtaining the consent ot Keoil oi Co. thereto. With a part of the proceeds - coeds of the fettle ho bought a cow , upon which the money loaners demanded that he ttivo them a mortgage. This he refused to do , and they at once hail Him arrested and brought before Justice Helsley on a criminal charge of selling mortgaged property. Justice. Holsley released Tarpy on his own recognisance to appear for trial yesterday. This greatly angered the complainants , who urged that Tarpy ought to bo released on nothing short of $1,000. The case upon trial will doubt less dovoloi ) some racy and interesting features. Tarpy's lawyers , Simeral < & Rediek , say that they will push the case for all there is in it , and will commence actions against Heed & Co. for usury and malicious prosecution. Court Notes. The case of the State vs Frank Boyd , charged with the larceny of a gold watch and chain from James MoVoy , was given to the jury in district court at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. ; The case of the State vs Mrs. Mulhall , charged with an assault upon Airs.

Boydmanager of tliuopuni house , for civil damages sus tained by being refused admission to the parquet of thu Boyd , was commenced yesterday before Judge Wakoley. Air. Woodby was represented by Messrs. Irvine and ( iiirloy and the defense by I'iirke Godwin. The plamtllV was the first witness. Ho stated th'.it ho W.IH a minister of tlio Colored Episcopal church , and on the night of the tlth of May , 1835 , he at tempted to outer the opera house parquet to n private nntertaiiimonl given by onu of the local associations. Mr. iF. . lioyd was at the door and told him to go up stairs. Mr. Woouliy declined , stating that the ticket did not call for an upstairs Rent , and desiioil to enter the lirst lloor olrolo and Mr. lioyd stated that colored people wore not allowed there. Mr. Woodby remained around the entrance , nnd finally Mr. lioyd said that if ho ( Woodbv ) didn't got down out of the way ho ( lioyil ) would knock him down out of tlio entnuico. There is but ono witness lo Wood by'H side , and ho was found only to-day. lie happened to bo n man mimed K , K.

After ho had taken the girl homo he drank more beer , About midnight he was Jound sleeping in his buggy on South Thirteenth street. A policeman took him in tow and locked him up. [ Yesterday ho suffered the penalty of his folly. t A MonUil hc. | OMAHA , July 3 , 1880T.o tue. Editor : In to-day's Herald appears an editorial entitled , "Matters to Think Over. " U refers to Marshal Cummiugs. The editor gays that Marshal C'uiumings escaped in- , dictmcnt by n single vote. That Is not so The vote stood eleven to acquit nnd live for conviction. Tlio editor of the Herald appeared before the grand jury with his armor on , prepared , as ho thought , to give such information ni would send the marshal to the peniten tiary. The grand jury put him throiicli a rigorous examination urn ! found ho did not know anything derogatory to.Marslial dimming1 ! , and now. he has the audacity to say he escaped indictment by a single vote. vote.While While 1 am no friend of the marshal , only in right and jn.-liec , the editor of ( lie Herald wants to blacken the character of an honest man by willfully lying about him. One of the grand jury , L. A Itnld Ono of the boldest robberies imagina ble was reported at police headquarters yesterday. The victim thereof was Dr. ( ) . S. Wood , who resides at 2130 Davenport street. Uurglars broke Into his hou o Tlinrsda.C and stole a pan1 of pants containing about sJlOO , a bunch of keys and n pocket case of medical instru ments , and numerous other smaller arti cles. Strange tosav the vr t which lmii < i bv the pants and eontained a gold watch nnd chain , was left un touched. The burglars ell'ected an en trance through onu of the front parlor windows , bringing a lighted lamp from the lower hall up to the sleeping room In Dr. Wood was , where it was toiind still burning yesterday. Dr. Wood thinks that the robbers will probably throw the surgical instruments away , and any ono finding them will confer a favor on him by returning the snmo to his ollicc on Capitol avenue. Army Notes. Yesterday In pursuance of the telegram from the war department as noted in Thursday's ' MEG , the number of messen gers in the army headquarters was re duced from four to two. Sergeant Hayes is transferred to Company E , Second in fantry , and Sergeant Clark , at his own request , is discharged , and will procure employment in this city. Sergeants Delaney - laney and Hose , the two old "stand-bys" of the service , are retained. As the cler ical force was already-short one man , it was not found necessary to reduce it. It is quite evident there wijl be some gooil shooting done at the rillo contest this year. Captain Unssell , of Fort lUis- sell , writes that the figure of merit of his company is over ono hundred , and Gen eral Wlieaton , of the Second infantry , coming to this department , says thai some Of his company have figures of merit of 110. Postmaster Quarterly Kcports. Yesterday Postmaster Coutant and his assistant , James Woodward , exam ined the reports made to them of money balances by the different postmasters throughout the state. Each report is contained in a largo envelope and ac companied by a blank , showing the amount of paper money and coin for warded in satisfaction of the same. Of these balances not less that 800 will be received by Mr. Coutant before the end of the month. They arc generally full of discrepancies , and in some instances money is forwarded and there is noth ing accompanying to show where it came from or by whom it was sent. A Flnlandor Rolibert. F. Oscar Julin , a young Finlander , ar rived in town yesterday from his native land with the story that , before he had been twenty-four hours on the train out of New York , ho felt'tired , and sleepy , and , not suspecting , anything , dropped asleep. When ho awoke ho found that his pocket book and wallet had disappeared. It contained $32 , all the money he possessed , to bring him to Carbon , Wyoming. His ticket van out here leaving him perfectly helpless. He told his story to the watchman at the Union Pacific dcuot and was by him taken the the headquarters , where his case was considered by the officials.

Edwards , the ex-clerk of the general delivery'window , because of his being a republican , llo denied the alle gation that the removal had been made on partisan grounds. The man Mole , who succeeded him , was also a republi can , and the reason assigned for his ap pointment was that ho was an old cm- pioyu of the postoHiee nnd had boon ono of the best clerks in the service at this point. 5GOacres land in Tliayor county , Neb. , to sell or trade for merchandise.

Different Styles of Vclilelcs-Tlie Cnb and Coupe Some Intcrcstlnt ; Faces and KlKiir6n Costly / , * / ? This is pre-eminently the season of the year for tlio enjoyment of equine pleas ures. There is no city of its size in America , probably , whore the ownership and enjoyment of liorxvilesh is as general as in Omaha. A drive on Sixtpnnth street ( Sherman avenue ) any line evening would convince the most skeptical indi vidual of this fact. Everybody who can afford it , and manv who cannot , owns n rig of some sort. It may bo nothing but a yellow two-wheeled cart attached to an equine skeleton , or it may be a handsome two-horse barouche , with all the hand some incidentals of equipage which goto make up a stylish "rig , " but It is owned by the driver and is a source nf a deal ot enjoyment to him and his family , large or small. The cost of keeping a horse and car riage in Oinahu is not large. The fact that t there arc so many beautiful drives in and about Omaha has contributed largely 1 : to the growth of this passion for owning liorsollesh. Who would not have the t means to enjoy the invigorating ef fects of a spin in the cool evening air , when such means are at hand niton a I rilling cost ? Horses can bo kept amazingly cheap in Omaha. It is a very tony livery stabli indeed which charges over ? 20 n month for boarding a horse. First class board can be obtained for $18 a month , and in some stables fair board at $15 a month. This includes not only care of the horse , but also daily washing of the buggy and harness and hitching up for the customer at all times. To keep a saddle horse requires less , from $10 to SlUn ! j month. Ol course , the owner of the t ; animal , if fancy or a shallow purse sII dictates , can keep the horse at a much k-ss expense , say not more than $5 or $7 amenta. The cost is the same whether the i : animal is a sfoU horse or a § 1.000 nag , for however much diflerenco there may be iitl the value and capabilities of horses , there is very little in the cubic capacity of their stomachs. And so it happens that ; there are a largo number of horses in Omaha , and an equally large number of equipages , handsome and otherwise , . Morth Sixteenth street is a good point for the observation of these vehiclar outlits. The 1 mo.-t common rig , of course , is the plain buggy attached to a single horse , or the two-horse double-seated carriage. Some of these rijjs arc strikingly hand some ' , and worthy of extended mention did space permit. Of stylish family barouches , rouches or carriage ? then1 are any num ber in Omaha , and dozens of them may be seenout , any line evening containing the business man and his family. The Shcllicld dog cart is becoming quite popular in Oinitha. These two- wheeled arrangements are made to hold only two people. The most stylish of these have heavy wheels , Iiiuli seats and are painted a resplendent black , with heavy lanterns on cither side of the scat. They arc sometimes known as Stanhope gigs , because that mine is English , you know. Some of these outlits cost : ts high as if-HX ) or $ .100. From these prices'you can range as low as $10 , which amount will pur chase a small Perry cart , used principally by children. Another very stylish gig or two wheeled cart is the Whitecliapof. of which there are several in Omaha. It is a trille heavier than the Stanhope , with a seat considerably higheu. The Ellesmorp is n , pretty cart adapted especially for the use of Indies , ft is low , with a turn down seat behind for a footman or gentleman guest. They are quite expensive , and there are but one or two of them in Omaha. The plneton , single and double seated , is a vehicle which is quite popular in Omaha , especially among the ladies who wish to take a quiet evening drive with their children or friends , and who care not for style as much as they do for com fort. The " ' " low "basket phiu'ton" is espe cially popular among tlio members of the gentler sex. Something akin to these vehicles is the "Gladstone , " an old fash ioned basket chaise , with two opposite seats , and one seat behind for a footman or tifth party. There is , so far as known , but one of these in the city. In the long procession of vehicles which may be seen on 11113' of the thor oughfares of the city , ono cannot fail to notice the landau. It is nn open carriage , capable of seating four persons , vis-a-vis. These arc especially used by the sports of the city , inalo and female , who arc out for a good time and don't care who knows it. Visitors who want easy and pleasant locomotion on a sightseeing tour through tlio city patron ize this lorin of vehicle. There are very few private landaus in the city , be cause a ride in one of them savors too much of ostentatiousncss. Passing by the closed carriages sometimes vulgarly known as "hacks , " of which tlioro are a large number in Omaha , both in public and private use and the hundred other forms of vehicles , ono cannot fail to no tice the cab. It was a little moro than ono year ago when this strange two-wheeled institution wns introduced into Omalia. It , too , was "quite English , you know , " caught on quickly , and has since grown immensely popular in favor , Tliu eonpo. a single horse , closcd.carriatro , capable of seating two. or at a pinch , three persons , was in- * troduccd a month or two later , and is almost as popular as the cab. There are quite a number of elegant private coupes in the city. An article of Mils character would bo incomplete without n reference to the real estate "bnckbonrds" which have in tlio past year or so become a feature of the hurrying caravan of vehicles in the streets of Omaha. One of these buck- hoards is capable of pealing two persons , the agent unit his victim the intending purchaser and is really a neat though hardly a stylish rig. Oiioontorprisingreal estate agent hero ownsand runs no less than ton of thesobuckboards , ono or two of them attached to licet and blooded stock. A FEW ' Ily way of conclusion unU as a matter of interest to its renders , the KKR pre sents the cost of an equine' establishment such as Iho Omaha gentleman of aver age wealth and table ought to be supposed to set up and maintain ; He ought to have nt least : One pair carriage horses 51,000 One roadster for buggy unit cart. . . . . . . . SOO Ouo Lniulau , . . . 1,000 One two seated canlago bOO One ton buray 400 Ono "Hhellielil" ! 0 n Harness estimate ' * < > llon > ( ) clothing anil stable llitings 500 Uoufliinnn'soutlit JOO ' S4.TOO . If to this bo added a pony and cart for the children and a handsome sleigh for winter , it will bo seen that n lirst-class establishment can not tbo sit up for less than $5,003. That there are several in Omaha valued at thia figure or higher , there is no question. There are n num ber of costly barns in this city , too- , three ot which are estimated to have cost $5,000 , each. ; .

A young man who , under various aliases , has figured in several western cities of late , and who has just served a term in the Hriiti-wcll in Chicago on conviction of theft , related a few of his adventures here last night , says a Milwaukee corresspondimt. He now calls himself Henry Jackson , nnd at lirst glance ho might bo taken for a young man who , perhaps , was old enough to vote. A closer scrutiny , how ever , would convince the observer that l.e was not much under . ' 30. His slight lignro , small hands and feet , smooth faoe and fair complexion , gave him an at ) pearancc of youth , which was belied by the few wrinkles on his forehead aim about his eyes. "When 1 came west six years ago , " ho said , "I stopped in .Milwaukee for u time and looked for work. I knew nobody , and the kind of employment that I thought myself lilted for was not open to me. As n\y \ necessities became greater , 1 sought work as a laborer , but. owing to my sl/e , 1 was either refused l > y bosses in search of men , or as suon as they could ( hid a heavier man Ihey laid me oil1. I was about discouraged when a cheap restaurant here , wheie I had boarded , lost one of its waiters , and I applied for and got the job. 1 did not like the business , but ns it promised to keep body and soul together through Iho winter , I concluded to keep at It. At tlio end of a mouth the owner of the place sold out and I lost my job. After looking around a little and sceng no prospect ot getting work here , I roncludi'il to go to Chicago and try. I could at least get a job there as a waiter , 1 thniiirht , and to that I bent my energies. At the end of a week I found myself installed in a beer hall and rest aurant at half a dollar a day. While there 1 noticed that it was comparatively easy to get men , but that steady and ef- licient girls for the kitchen were scarce. Ono day I read an article in the Taper about the scarcity of house servants and explaining hqw good girls could easily pot 9,1) a week and a comfortable home. That set me to thinking , and in the course of a short time I had decided to try my luck as a girl. I always had a smooth face , and 1 know that I could get myself'up so as to look as well as the average house servant. One of the girls at the restaurant was a friend of mine , and between us the job was lived up. 1 loft the restaurant one night in woman's clothes , and as a man i was never seen there again. "The next day. with a list of people who were advcrlisjng tor girls , 1 started out. As Wisconsin servant trirls are at a premium in Chicago , 1 told' everybody that I was the daughter of a farmer liv ing near Milwaukee. Three or four la dies did not want me because I could not say that I was a good cook. One said she liked my looks and wanted me to cull again the next day. Toward even ing I called at a house where the lady informed me that she had got a girl , hut that she had a friend living in Swanston , . , a suburban town , who wanted one , and that if i would call again in the evening I could see her. As she held out a pros pect of good pay I thought I woxld try itni any way , and so in the evening 1 put in an appearance. Tlio Swanston lady was thercrwaitiiifj for me , and the upshot of ilWi was that I was hired out to her for $0 a week , with half a day oil' each week. I was ; to do general housework and she volunteered to teach me things that 1 did not know. The next day I moved out there anil was duly installed as maid of all work. There was another girl in the house , but as she was a nurse 1 did not see much ol her. pNow , I know considerable about cook ing and housework or i never should have : thought of trying it. At home I had ns a boy helped m ymothor a great dual , ; and there were plenty of things that 1 could do as well as anybody. The lady appeared ' to like my style , and as she was : an experienced housekeeper she was m only willing but able to give me'such in as 1 needed. I swept , cooked and washed and ironed , and as soon ns I got well hcitled in my place I came to the conclusion that it was a great deal better than starving as u man. I had just made up 1 my mind that the girls who refuse to dc housework and prefer to Mrugglo along in shops and stores in the cities were making fools of themselves , when ono day , after I had been at my place about three months , the butcher boy , a lubberly fellow who used to make him self quite fresh around the housegrabbed sem whim I was ofl'my guard and planted kiss i on my mouth. I came within an ace of planting my list in his nose , but it suddenly occurred to mo that that was what servant girls > hud to expect , and I could fool my checks burning with the confusion which came upon. me. Then twitted mo about blushing , and finally wound up by inviting mo to go sleighing , which ! 1 iliially agreed to do. From that time on the butcher and I were great friends. J tried to keep the cuss at arms' loiiKth : , but the moro distant and digni- lied 1 became the moro ho seemed to think of mo. Finally ho wanted me to inarrv him , and I put him oh"on the plea that 1 had promised my mother on her death-bed that I would not marry until nl my Hltlo brothers and sisters had be come able to support thumsclves. llo became so much of a nuisance nl length that I had to leave that place , much against my will , and llnd another iu the city. lly Hint time 1 was reasonably compe tent in all branches of housework , nml I had no ( rouble in getting work in Chi MS cago. I found thu conditions the sumo they had boon. While thorn worn plenty 1 of men out of work and plenty of women who were trying to got work at starvation t : wages down town it was as easy : as rolling oil'a log to got good situ ations ns house horvants. 1 think if I Jind seen any chance of gettiuz some thing to do as a man , I would hnvo loft olVmy ( ire.'ses. but I didn't and I then pot out with the- idea that 1 would try lo save enough money to make the neces sary deposit and become a . trcet cir : conductor. My now place was harder than the o'd ' ono , but I got along all right , nnd stayed there for two years , when the family broke up. .My acquain tances were nearly all amuiurtho girls , ' and the only way 1 could lind out how the ! labor market was was by asking market men what bhow tlioro was for a \o brother of mino. 1 got a job in this way ? Iho driver of a delivery wagon for a grocer , and for a year or so I dressed ns man , but as another chap Imally cut under ii.o in wages and secured tlio place became disgusted with my snx , and after looking in vain for work , donned my dresses again and trot a place as cook a big family where they had a house full o ? sorva'nts I stayed tlioro a good while , and might have been there yet , only ono of Iho girls got mad at me , and , communicating her suspicions lo Iho lady , the latter cornered mo and inado mo admit that I was not a girl. llicii. got even with im- , shy had mo arrested for stealing , and the worst of it was shn swore so itiflly against me that she con victed me. . , "I'm ' just out of that tempo , and I don't think 1 shall try the servant irlrl sphpnie again. SlHI , I am of the opinion that it is a great opening .for young men who cnn'l make their Ihing in any other way. If .the girb thcmsnlves wo't\ld \ TFv to g"M worn lit hard labor for n wLI/rS / niul find themselves thrown out every time that a bigger follow i-amc along , tiny would s-oon discover Iho advantage of having n bed to go to and something to eat , rain or shine.
