The Irlends of the llennepln canal project
tire delighted to-night with the senate's action
to-day incorporating the appropriation for
5300,000 in tlio river and harbor bill. General
Henderson , ot Illinois , who is a member ef
the rlverand harbor committee of the house ,
says the committee will probably instruct the
confuiecs on the part or the house to stiiko
the appropriation out. If , however , the sen-
ixto conferees are friendly to tlio amendment
and insist upon Its remaining there , thehouso
conferees will probably back down. Tlio
real light will then follow in
the ho.isc. With , a , view to
Bocurlnj , ' a majority of Votes In their faVor
'the ' Illinois members to-night held an informal
mal meeting to decide upon some plan by
which tills could bo accomplished. From
thistlme until the linal vote is taken the gen
tlemen propose to devote themselves to the
development of n sentiment favorable to the
measure. There Is a r.ither hopeful feeling
among them that they will succeed , hut their
disappointments In the past have been BO
numerous that the more conservative among
them are strongly averse to expressing an
opinion.

Tlio regular monthly meeting of the
loard of trade was held hist evening , the
membership being very fairly i-epre-
sentcd. The feeretary read tlio min
utes of the last meeting , which were ap
proved.
Tim matter of alleged discriminations
in freight rates by the Union Pacific in
favor of Kansas City merchants' was
called up by tlio communication of ( ten-
oral Manager Callnwav , which lias been
published in tlio Bir. ; . dunying thu
charges. A letter was also read from
L/'ommis.sioiior ( JrlllUhH , of the freight
bureau , .stating that ho had been in active
communication with Oonoral Truf
fle Manager Klmball in ro-
ijnrd to tlio matter , nnd Would
inform the board of the results as
reached.
A clipping from the Wakclield Repub
lican. urging the carrying out of tin }
Omalia A : Isortliorn railwaj project , was
read.
The dissertation of some Georgia gen
tleman on tlio nation's shipping interests
was taken from tlio secretary' ? table and
put back again.
A lengthy communication was 'then
read from Senator Mandcr.son , censuring
tlio board of trade lor what he turmoil
their hasty action in protesting ngainst
the bill now pending in congress for the
removal of Fort Omaha and the
sale ot the present grounds. He
urged that the fort might be removed
from Omaha entirely unless ample .
ground could bo provided hero for tlio
enlargement of tlm post , llu hoped that
the board would sec lit to reconsider their
action.
Mr. Chase said ho .you Id not favor
changing the location of the fort until a
new site was provided and agreed upon.
Mr. Max Meyer said ho thought tlm
board ought to back up their protest by
some facts showing why the fort should
not bo removed.
Mr. 11 art man wanted to know what
the objections to the removal arc. He
could not sec how Omaha would suller if
the fort were changed to so'mc other lo
cation within ten miles of the city.
Mr. Rosewatcr , being called upon , ex
plained brlclly the objections to the re
moval of the fort , it would dourivo the
city of the benefit of the commercial and
social intercourse with the army olliccrs ,
and would eventually bo followed by the
removal of the army headquarter ! ) to the
fort. The lack of railroad facilities men
tioned in General Sheridan's hitter could
easily bo overcome by the building of a
short switch from the Belt line to the
fort.
fort.Tho
The matter finally ended in the ap-
pointmnnl of a committee consisting of
Messrs T. C. llrnner , W. E. Clark , E.
Itosnwatcr , Edwin Davis and Chris Hartman -
man , to ascertain at what prices addi
tional grounds can be purchased near
the fort , what other sites are available.
and at what cost a switcli can bo built
from the Belt line to the fort.
Tlio committee appointed to sco what
arrangements can be made for securing' '
a fast train betvycon Omaha and Chicago ,
and the committee on the Omaha &
Northern railway were instructed to
bring in reports the next meeting.

A. Hinnll-Si7.cl Strike AIIIOII the
Western Union Opuriitnra.
The report w.is spread List evening
that a general strike had been inaugu
rated among the Western Union oper
ators in Omaha. An investigation re
vealed the presence of a small-sized
strike , just largo enough to make its
presence felt and cause some annoyance
if not alarm. Tlio facts are these : Yes
terday morning Colonel Dickey , superin
tendent of the Western Union , received
a communication signed by Anderson ,
Nclms , Tomlinson and Chafley , who
represented themselves as a committee
appointed by the force to demand extra
pay for overtime. They demanded that
their request bo granted or they would
quit work in a a body at noon to-day.
' .thirty/seven men were working the
ollice at the time the communication
was presented and Manager Patterson
asked each of the force personally if the
committees' demand expressed his
views. Of the entire force only
three men sided with the committee ,
making a total of seven strikers. When
the men came on for work last night
Tomlinson , ono of the commiltcomon ,
was discharged for other causq anil the
olhor members of the committee and
Craddock and Ilughos , six men in all , quit
work. There are rumors of a general
strike of the operators in Omaha , and
other rumors of a general walk-out of
Western Union men in tlio southwest ,
but the managers foci conlidont that there
will bo no further trouble. Tlio places of
the striking operators were promptly
tilled.

ROMANTIC WAR STORIES ,
End of a Federal Captain Who Loved a
Confederate Maid ,
How n Union Colonel Condemned to
Death ns n Trnltor Mndo
IIIH KHCflpC.
Nashville American : There are many
romantic stories of love and war that
were enacted when Nashville was the
theatre of hostilities that have never
found their way into print , and winch , if
gathered together , would compose n good
si/.ed volume.
An old resident of Xnshville who was
hero during a great part of those stir
ring times , and a witness of many chang
ing and shifting scenes , the other day re
lated several incidents that will bear
repetition. The first was presented some
what ns follows :
"In the town of Lincoln , 111. , before
the war , there resided a young man
named J. J. Scaright , who had been for
sometime engaged in tlm grocery and
provision business in partnership with
\Vm. U , Harlow , under the lirm iximc of
Ilarlow & 'Searicht. It was ono of the
largest and wealthiest firms in that sec
tion , and the members thereof were botli
popular leaders in the social and po
litical circles of their county. When the
War broke out both partners decided on
volunteering in the union army , but as
Harlow : was a man of family a mutual
cOmnromi.se was allectcd , and Scaright
alone donned tlio garb of a soldier. Ho
cillistcd in a company forming in Logan
county for the Thirty-second regiment of
Illinois infantry , and received a lieutcn-
anli's commission. ( Jonerally esteemed
an excellent ollicor , ho scorned to have
it brilliant career of military service just
before him. At the battle of Dclmont ,
Jlo. , lie Was withRunoral ( Sraut , and was
noted for conspicuous gallantry.
"U lien Grant fought Ihu battle of Shi-
loli ho again distinguished himself and
soon after was promoted to captaincy.
In this latter engagement ho was quite
severely wounded , and by permission
went baek to his home in Illinois on fur
lough. Meanwhile his regiment had boon
attached to Cieneral Knoll's army and
was tlcn ; on duty .either in middle Ten
nessee or- northern Alabama , and Cap
tain Scaright , after a few weeks at home ,
came through Nashville to join his com
mand ttt the front. In an unlucky hour
ho met a young lady of 'rebel proclivi
ties , ' but extremely beautiful , at her
homo near Naslivillo. She was reputed
to be immensely wealthy , and was in full
possession of her property , having a year
or two before attained her majority. "
"Would it bo proper to tell the name of
the fair rcbeli" inquired the anxious lis
tener.
"No , " responded the old gentleman ,
' but , on the other hand , quitu improper ,
M subsequent events will prove. SulVico
it to say , they mot and loved. All the
time that the captain could spend from
his duties , and ho frequently importuned
ins colonel for leaves of absence , every
moment he could he spent in the society
of the 'charming secosh siren , ' as his
brother ollicnrs called her , and she as
eagerly returned his burning passion.
Captain Scaright time and again offered
his resignation. He wished to leave the
tented field and dwell in rosy bowers of
love , but , unlike his love , it was not ac
cepted. Love at length , however , con
quered all his scrupulous opinions of
duty to the Hag of his country. Ho grow
desperate. Ho "deserted , and succeeded
in escaping buyout ! the federal lines with
his fair enslaved , she leaving homo and
friends and property for his sake , and he
surrendering honor and loyalty to the
cause he had sworn to protect. Arriving
within the confederate lines , the serious
ness of the situation began to dawn upon
the minds of botli of them. If the for
tunes of war should throw him into the
hands of the United States authorities , ho
would certainly be hung as a traitor , and
his wife possibly suffer as a participant in
his crime.
THE r.oviiw' : FLIGHT.
"From Atlanta they went to Charles
ton. From the latter city they succeeded
in running tlio blockade to Nassau , where
they took a British vessel bound for
Havana.
"But their happiness was short lived
and in the end turned to bitterness. And
now you will see why it was bust lo sup
press the lady's name , for the following
extract , published in tlio Lincoln ( III. )
Herald in July , 1800 ; and which 1 pasted
in my scrap-book , gives the sequel to the
sad romance :
" 'Ky a hitter to this ofilco wo learn that
Captain Searight , whoso desertion from
the army and elopement with a scccsh
belle wo published last winter , was
lately killed in a duel by a Spanish olli-
cor , near Havana , in Cuba. It appears
that this womanfor whom ho abandoned
fame and fortune , had in turn deserted
him ; and fled with a captain in theSuan-
ish army. Captain Soaright shortly
afterward , mot the destroyer of his hap
piness in a colfeo-houso and knocked him
down. Of course the proud bpaninrd
could not brook this insult ; hu challenged
Scaright , who gladly accepted , as he was
weary" life. They mot on the seaside
about tw9 miles from the city of Havana
and Scaright fell pierced to the heart by
his adversary's bullet. Thus untimely
has fallen ono who fought well and nobly
for his country , till in an pvil hour hemet
mot ono who seduced him from the path
of honor and duty , ami through her
agency the star of his life has set in
bipod. ' The Spaniard and the fnir fulso
ono , with a demon's honrt , have fled to
the Isloof Pines. "
" Equally as thrilling , but not quite so
romantic1 , continued the narrator , "aro
adventures of Colonel J. T. E. McLean
of the union army , who was captured by
the confederates and made his escape
under circumstances which form not tlio
least-interesting chapter in the history of
the war. Colonel McLean was a native
Tunnnssceun , possibly from ono of the
cast Tcnncssco counties , and married the
daughter of Dr. Skinner , a well-known
dentist of Brooklyn , N. Y. lie was ,
from first lo last , nn ardent union man.
After the capture ot Nashville Colonel
McLean came to this section to advocate
the union cause , and aid , in every way
possible , to bring his native state back to
allegiance to the old flag. Ho addressed
the people of the state wherever it was
safe to do so , nnd finally raised the Second
end Tonne.ssco regiment , U. S. A. , of
which ho was appointed colonel. In
.September , 18UJ , while Hragg and Kuall
were in Kentucky , and Forrest was besieging -
sieging Negloy m his fortifications at
Nashville , Colonel McLean loft Nashville
for the purpose of visiting the north on
business which demanded Ids immediate
attention , Hu was accompanied by n
second lieutenant of his own regiment.
They succeeded in slipping through the
rebel picket lines , and had proceeded
some fifteen miles from Nashville , when ,
to their dismay , they were captured by a
foraging party of Iwrests cai'ulry.
They were taken to Chattanooga , where ,
after remaining a few days , they were
sent to Ulchmond , handcuffed , and placed
under heavy guard ,
COI. . JICLKAN'S KSCAI'K.
"After remaining at Hichmond for
some time , Col. McLean and his com
panion were taken back to Chattanooga
and lodged in tliulr old prison quarters.
Here hu ascertained that ho was con
sidered as a traitor and would bo shot.
Ho called for u court-martial , but that
was denied , and lie was condemned to
Miller the extreme penaHy of the law.
Thq day before- the sentence was to have
been put in execution the confederate
olliccr of the day visited the prisoner , nnd
to his astonishment , no less than that of
Col , McLean , lie recognized in the
prisoner an old M-hoolmatc and the com
panion of 'earlier days nnd happier
hours. ' After some conversation , tlm
colonel appealed to his old friend.the con
federate olhet r , who was n second
lieutenant , to give him an opportunity
of etfeeting his escape. The rebel olliccr
yielded , took Col. McLean by the hand
and said : "Mac , my dear fellow , pledge
mo vonr honor that if captured In the at
tempt you are about to make to escape ,
my name shall not pass your lips In con
nection with it. '
"The premise was , of course , freelj *
given. The lieutenant then told him that
at 0 o'clock that evening a certain win
dow which hu pointed to would bo left
unfastened on the outside , and at that
hour lie would see that the guard was so
placed that he , the colonel , would not bo
observed if he attempted to gain his
liberty. At the hour named , true lo bis
promise , Ids rebel friend uumstened tlio
window and had ordered the guard to
nnother boat. Col. McLean then lot him
self down from the window , ran alone ;
the shadow of the prison wall , nnd made
Ids > yay to the baek of the. town. In this
lie found lutlo dillleulty , for tlio reason
that his friend had provided him with a
rebel uniform , and lie was as ragged as
any rebel in tlm service , lie then made
for the Tennessee river , nnd paddled n.
'duir-out' to Stevenson , Ala.
"When the confederates left Stnvcnson
IIP came with them as far as the Nash
ville pike , but when within a few mile.'i
of Nashville hu heard that the place had
been captured by Forrest. Ho quickv ! re
traced his t-tops."struck oil' In another di
rection , crosMtl the Tennessee river at
Jolinsonvilleand entered the federal lines
which were on the opposite bank. Being
still in rebel uniform ho was at once cap
tured as a rebel prisoner , and the expla
nation made to his captors was laiiglied
alas ridiculous. He began to dor.bt to
which side ho really did "belong. Taken
before a subordinate olliccr , ( in stated
that hu was Colonel McLean , of tlio Second
end Tennessee ; that he had been captured
by the rebels and sentenced to bo shot ,
but had fortunately effected his escape.
Hut his story was not behoved. Tlio col
onel was suspected as a spy. The officer
told him that his story would not do ; that
ho knew all about Colonel McLean ; that
ho had been shot by the rebels a week be
fore , lie was Hum placed in irons and
put under a heavy guard , but before any
more serioiisconsequctioo arose from this
mistake , and to his great .joy , ho was reo-
ogui/.ed by some friends arid restored to
freedom. "

have been true than Inlse , for Ream said to-day
that "wheat purchased on thu weak spots

presumed they had sold all the wheat they
caied to , lor when they stopped talking
bullish wheat ceased to advance. The de
