" A New Order Which Is to bo Issued to the Union 1'nciflc Depot OlllcitxlH. It is rumored that ti new order will soon be issued to the depot ollteials of tlio Union L'aeitic railroad which will really be of as much importance if faithfully carried out as the running of the fast mail train. Its object is to prevent people , especially the female sex , follow ing their departing friends into the curs for farewell osculation , thereby crowding the aisles rtnd even taking possession of scats to the dis'comliture of travelers generally , and railroad ollicials particu larly , and also to prevent the loss of lite and limb by the ' 'seeing oil' " people hav ing to jump from a rapidly moving train. Notwithstanding the utmost vigilance of train and depot men those people will got on the cars just us if a kiss under the great iron back of the turtle depot was not as luscious as in a car. Wednesday evening a party of women who cumo to see a friend oil'took possession of a car and unmindful of a dozen "all uboards" in high baritone with a chorus of bell ringing and sharp fugue notes from the locomotive ilutc they remained until the train was in rapid motion. Very fortu- nutoly they were discovered , the train was stopped , tlio party placed on the platform safely , and after considerable trouble a start was made again. Those three or four lipj meetings in the car caused delay and inconvenience to a hundred people , to say nothing of the trouble to the train men. So it is that , in a day or so it is understood that Dull' Green , the baritone soloist of the depot , and Clinrly Jloyer , the basso profttndo will sing out "kissing time expired" live minutes before each train leaves.

A BOLD BURGLAR'S ' BULLETS They Perforate the Walls of n Seventeenth Strcit 4csdenco | , JOHN I. BLAIR INTERVIEWED.

The series of more or loss bold burg laries that have boon commuted in the residence portion of the city during tlio past two weeks was eclipsed by an at tempted burglary early this morning that came very near resulting in a tragedy. The attempt was niadn at 10'J South Sev enteenth street , in the residence of Mrs , M K. Koan. Mr. Sussunbach , foreman at Iler's distillery , who has : i room at Mrs. Kean's , went homo shortly before 1 o'clock. Ho occupies n suite of rooms on tlio second floor , the narlor of which opens upon the hallway , just at the head of the stairs. As ho entered the parlor ho thought ho hoard a noise in his sleep ing room , and , striking a match , stepped to the door. As ho did so a man sprang from the room and grappled with him. Mr. Sussonbach is a largo , powerful man und the would-be burglar soon found that ho was in close quarters. In the tussle that ensued the burglar drew a re volver and attempted to shoot Mr. Sus- 8cnbac.li , liring thron shots at him. Owing to the position In which ho was held ho could take no film nntl fortunately his shots missed their intended mark and found lodgement in the walls , one of. thorn cutting through th 3 partition into a room occupied by lid Mullen. Mr. Sussenbach iimilly overcame his man and threw him bodily down the siaird , mashing the banisters as ho wont. The burglar either shot himself or was hurt in the sculllo as tlio banisters und walls in the hallway were found to bo covered with blood. The noise aroused the neigh borhood und a search ras instituted tor the burglar. Ho was tracked by his bare foot-prints and a trail of blood half way through an alley in the block across Iho street where nil trace of him was lost. Sergeant Mostyn , who was notified of the all'air , spent the niirht in a fruitless search for his man. The affair created a great ? sensation in the neighborhood. TWO SPEUlATj OAHS. .Tolm I.

" "I suppose ibo Northwestern system will bo reaching out to the coast one of these days ? " "Woll , that may be so.

" "Is the real business object of your present visit npo enough for the public , Mr. Blair ? " "No , not now. Tn fact , this is a mere skirmish trip. Nothing really definite in view but it will , I think , result in some thing worthy of place in the railroad col umn of the press. " A short conversation followed on mis cellaneous subjects during which Mr. lilair spoke in the highest terms of Omaha and expressed his regret to his associate tourists that the opportunity did not permit them at least a day's visit hero. Kcgarding the case of the Kansas Oily man who was arrested for threatening Mr. Blair's life , the latter said Ibo accused had not been tried yet. Ho is out on bail and as far as he could learn , the evidence was very strong against him. A generous supply of water nnd ice having boon given the Pickwick , the overland started some few minutes late for the west. The 1C. U. arrived about an hour late , owing to delayed connections. It brought in addition to'tlio regular cars a special of the Ponnsylvnna company , a corpora tion that operates all the lines that work jointly with the Pennsylvania Central railroad west of Pittsburg.

At an early hour.ycslerdny morning a young man named jMooro , who has a room at Flynn'H boarding house at tlio corner of Fotirtbtmlhi and Jackson streets , was nwakenjid by the presence of strangers in his room , .He sat up in bed and found himself looking into the muz zle of a bulldog rijYolvpr , held in the hands of a man who wna evidently in the roomwilh burglarious * intent. "Open your head and I'll yil you , " hissed the burglar through tis i clenched tcctli. "Murder , " yelled Moore , as ho ducked his head under the covers. Tlio noise awakened the other baardord and the burglars lied , An examination of the premises showed that the tluevus had secured - cured two gold watches and § 10 in cash from the boarders. The police were no tified of the allair several hours after wards , but as yet have secured no tangi ble clue to the thiovcs. Another Soap Plant. Mr , S.

Tabor suotus to bo in excellent health , as ho certainly is in spirits , the outputs of the l.oadvillo mines having undoubtedly given him a new lease on bigbonanxu life. life."I "I ain't giving much attention to pol ities just now , " ho remarked , "It's teed d d hot. Mining pays bettor , and I've some of my old time luck during the past year. I tell you , young man , make money first , and politics will conic along alhight. " ' \ on will undoubtedly do some work in this fall's campaign ? " "You bet I'm always around about election time. In fact , the Colorado boys say I must bo. This trip 1 am only going to Chicago , and purely on business. Have a cigar 1 Good day ! " The bonan/a king of Colorado resumed his place in the Pullman ear , mid with a party of jovial companions mot upon the route , preparations wore made for a con tinuance of the gtnno of poker through Iowa and Illinois which hud already lasted through parts of Colorado and Wy oming and across Nebraska. Hero was the wily , successful miner , able to pro cure any luxury ho desired with money , but what claim he had on the smiles of fate more than thousands of other people was hard to tell. There was another miner on the plat form near the car in which Tabor was , and his name was William Kyan. His father and his grand-father were minors before him , and ho himself has worked in nearly all the camps of the Koekics , and even in thu copper mines of the Lake Superior region. Nearly three- fourths of his life have boon spent Uolow ground. Ho has worked industriously and faithfully , but fatu has given him misery Avhero it gave Tabor money. Yet he is a finer looking man than the Colorado money bags , has equally as good intel lect , but the possession of gold has placed a fathomless chasm between them and their relations to the world. Poor Ryan lost both feet during the severe cold of last January. Ho was working in a cop- pur mine away up on the Lake superior peninsula ; the man at the top of the shaft was" lakcn sick , Kyan was ordered totnko his place , and on thu morning after the surgeon's knife had severed two frozen feet from the ankles lie found himself u cripple for life. For four months he laid in the poor house sull'eriiig intense agony. He is now on his way to the home of Homo cousins who arc farmers near Lincoln , Nob. , without : i cent in Jiis pocket or an acquaintance in the city. The B. & hi. railroad company very kindly passed him to the capital city , for lie worked for it when the first .rails were laid into Omaha. Uyan is an export in ore sorting , and when ho is able intends to go to Colorado to work in that line , which can bo done while in a sedentary position. Kyan had nothing to eat for two days. Tabor was waiting for a wine dinner at the transfer , lloisturous laugh ter oamn from the gay party ho was with , and curious people were gazing through the windows and doors of the car to see the "great man. " There was no smile on Ryan's care-worn features as he stood ou his slumps , and he was as solitary amid the crowd as if he were alone in a 2x4 oasis in Sahara. "This is a queer world , " remarked a clerical gentleman who heard the story. "G - d d - d qucor"said an in-over- out fellow ( standing by. The clerical gentleman commenced to open his grip. "Bully , " said the newsboy , "he's going to give a fiver to the poor duffer. Come , boys , let's put in. "I'll give a quar ter. " The reverend gentleman unfolded a bundle of tracts on various subjects "Charity Covers a Multitude of. Sins , " "When You Give to My Sull'eriiig Ones You Give to Me , " "Do Not Let Your Loft Hand Know what Your Right Dons. " The clerical gentleman followed the latter admonition faithfully , and ju diciously , too , for the left huiid would have blushed with shame if it was aware that instead of contributing a nickel , as the little newsboy suggested , the clerical ccntleman commenced to he.itter the re ligious dodgers around among the heathens. _ S AVISO FROM A IAVK OF SHAME. A Butte City Mother Takes Her cDaui-litcr I'Vomca JlrotliiTl.D A rapidly driven coupe left the Union Pacific depot just after tlio arrival of the overland train yesterday evening and halted at the police station , where ono of the occupants , a small sized , wiry gentleman , with n peculiar foxy man ner , alighted and hold a brief whispered conversation with Officer Turnbull. The other occupant of the coupe was a richly dressed lady , whoso face was covered by a heavy voil. The stranger soon secured the information ho desired and giving a brief dire.ction to his driver , stopped into tlio coupe and was driven down Douglas street , followed by a reporter for this paper , The next stop was at the door of one of the well known houses of ill-re pute on Ilinth street. Hero the lady inmate - mate of the coupe alighted , still closely veiled. She glanced around nervously as it fearful of being scon , and then hastily stepped to the door , rang the boll and was admitted. There worosounds of commo tion inside the buildings , a mingling of a woman's voice in pleading with anoth er's ' cries and lamentations being plainly heard by passers by and the curious fe males who occupied the adjoining house. The stranger in the coupe drew a sigh of relief when , after about a quarter of an hour's waiting , the door of the castle opened and his com panion reappeared , accompanied by a young girl , evidently yet in her teens- , whoso taco and form bespoke her the daughter of the woman upon whoso arm she was loaning. Her eyes wore rod from weeping and uolh wore visibly effected by an emotion which found no outward expression as they silently stopped into their conveyance and wore driven toward the depot. An express wagon followed carrying the young woman's trunk. At thu depot the two women oc cupied scats in thu ladies' waiting room nnd carried on a conversa tion in n low tone of voice. The gentleman of the party was approached by n BKI : reporter , but refused to have anything to sav. He llnallv gave his nauio as I' . U. Kirtland , a dotcetivo of Butte City , Mont. Of the lady accompanying him lie refused to givn any information nxcoptlhat her hus band was u physician of Butte City , and that her daughter had run away from homo to avoid n marriage with u , to her , undesirable suitor , and had come to Omaha , where she entered thu disorderly house from which she had just been taken by her mother. It was subse quently learned that the young gui has boon an minute of several snorting homos in Omaha during thu pafet three months , going under thu ntiinu of Bus io Price. The- party left for the west last evening. A Sioux Invasion ProinlHod. Last night Mr. A. Shitlson and Mr. N. K. Heed , of Sioux City , arrived on a mission - sion the successful performance of which will do much to strengthen tint already pleasant social relations existing between the people of Omaha and tho'tr Sioux City neighbors. The gentlemen arc hereto to arrange for an uxonrston of Sioux City people to Omaha on August 8. The ex cursion will bo given imdnr the ausplecs of the 1C of 1 * . band , the old "Northwest- urn , " a musical organization of twenty members , with a wide reputation through the northwe.st. They have chartered tv special train of ten coaches und will ar rive over I he Sioux City & Pai'iltc about noon on Sunday , August 8 , and spend the tlav in the city , returning homo in the evening. They expect to bring .at least eight hundred people on the excursion. Mc srs. Ueed und Shulson tire hero to secure n park and make the necessary ar rangements for the entertainment of the excursionists. HnffiUo Hill' * Success. "Tho success of Bull'alo Bill is really something wonderful , " said an Omaha man , who bus just returned from Now York. "Bill is making this season n bushel of money more than ho over dreamed of. Tim Wild West has caught on In great shape on Staten Island. The average daily attendance since it opened there has been 15,000 , , and up to the day 1 left thuro had been ! JOO,000 people to . co tlio show. In this enterprise BulValo Bill is backed by Krastus Winan , ono of the very rich men in NDW * York. Win an fitted up a new summnr resort on Staten Island and secured Bill's big realistic show as tlio attraction of tlio sun on. Winan is the principal owner of the ex cursion line ol steamers tunning to and trom Krustina , as the plaeo has been named. Tlio Staten Island and Uapid Transit company , as it is called , is mak ing a pile ol money , oven at the low ex cursion ruto ot 10 cents. Bill's ' camp has been lilted up in an attractive manner. but the grand stands , with a scat'ng ' ca pacity of UO.OOO , are not able to accommo date the people on pleasant days , and on the day 1 left itwasdntormided to consid erably inuroa.se the seating capacity at once. I am sure Buffalo Bill's host of Nebraska friends will be glad to hear of his great success with the Wild West , especially as it is a Nebraska enterprise. " Dividing the Itcwnrd. John Bicri , the Swiss who was arrested on suspicion of having murdered Chris Kuhlc , was discharged by Judge Sten- berg yesterday , it having been shown by evidence already published In Iho BKI : that he was in Klkhorn at work when the murder was committed. Fritz Wirth and "Doc" Sliroeder wcro highly indignant at the discharge of Bieri. They were contidcnt that ho liadcomtniftodthe niur- dnr.so confident , in fact , that they had considered the division of thu reward , which they wore sure they would receive. Thov had ijven quarreled over the said division. Wirth wanted tlio biggest slice of the reward , for had he not telephoned the police as soon as ho. saw Bieri. "Doe" came in and claimed at least one-half of the amount , for had ho not watched Biort while Wirth was telephoning. Tito matter - tor could not bo settled satislactorily and a quarrel ensued , resulting in Wirth serv ing "Doc" with a notice to move his bar ber shop from this City hotel within throe days. After Bieri's uisoharge , however , a compromise was effected , and the great heads are now working upon another "dead sure" eluo. Clond Crop Showing. Notwithstanding the evil prognostica tions of those who always sco dark days ahead , it is not probable that the long absence of Jupiter Pluvius from this sec tion of Nebraska is going to greatly in jure the crops. In the western part of the state they have been favored with a good supply of rain and Iho showers that commcnood here yesterday will undoubt edly prove of great benulft to corn. Mr. William Frank , a well known and pros perous farmer near Springfield. Sarpy counlo , has just finished threshing his wheat and the yield was 130 bushels on ten acres. Judge Welch , who has ptst boon all over barpy county on a business trip , has paid particular attention to the condition of the crops. From actual observation and talks with farmers he says that tlio average yield will bo about forty-two bushels of oats , thirteen of wheat and the corn crop will be over half the yield of an unusually prosperous season. The Oiniihn Mctlicnl Collesie. The sixth annual announcement of the Omaha Medical college for the session of 1880-87 has just been issued in catalogue form. The regular session begins Octo ber 4 , 18SO , and ends on March 20 , 1887 , with a vacation from December 21 to January 4. The announcement duly chronicles the removal of the college building to the corner of Twelfth and Pucilic streets , and states that the build ings and surrounding. * have boon greatly improved. This fact will doubtless bo gratifying news to Mr. Stuht and his fel- low-conil | | > imants against the condition of the building. There were thirty stu dents and live graduates last your. The prospects are fluttering for a largo at tendance for tlio coming year. Tliny Sold " 15. .

There is considerable talk hero just now over the sad und Midden failure of Chas. P. Mutthuwson , the banker. With Iho history of his actions the Br.r..s read ers are familiar. For a long number of years ho conducted a private bunk , ap parently Hindu money ; possessed the cotitldcnuc and esteem of all who knew him. After winning an im portant case in law , in which he acquired some $15,500 , he organized , with others , a national bank. Ccrtilicatcs of deposit from his private bank 12:11110 : in , wore re deemed by the new firm and charged to Ins account. Tltero wnro too many of them. The stockholders in the now con cern intimated that they would com mence criminal pro.M'cution. He visited Connecticut , disposed of his bank stock , sent the amount teceived for it to tup now bank , ami disappeared. After so journing in Texas , Arkansas and Colorado rado , about three weeks ago he returned to his home. Ho is MiU'cring with dis ease , and refuses to talk about business. His property , judiciously bandied , will bring u sum Millicicnt to pay all claims against him. My informant said that there was no doubt as to the man's inno cence of any crime.
