A Military Sensation.
Sergeant Simons , a colored soldier of
the Ninth cavalry at the rillo range , re
ported to Adjutant General
brock , at army headquarters
yesterday , with a prisoner. Pri
vate Ed wards , of troop ( J , Minth cavalry ,
wJiohas been arrested for nttenipcd mur
der and desertion.
Tlio authorities arc very reticent about
the matter , but the facts as ro
llably learned by n reporter , are
these- Edwards , who is a negro of ugly
temper anil dangerous disposition , on
Saturday evening , late , became Involved
in a row with a fellow soldier , Private
Frank .Shephard , of Troop M , Ninth cav-
M nlry. Hot words led to something worse ,
K and Edwards soiling IIM gun , raised
it with one hand nnd aimed nt Shepherd's
head. The latter was standing by his
tent on the rillo range , by tlio moonlight ,
could easily see Edward's action. The
latter tired. Tlio bullet whi//sod pint the
cur of Shepherd , who throw his head to
ono side and thus escaped instant death.
The gun , htrauiie to say , was so close lo
his face that tlio powder burned it ter
ribly. Ho has been removed to the
hospital at the post , where he is now un
der treatment. The physicians think that
he will iccover , though he will be scarred
for life.
The explosion of the gun nrouscd every
man in the camp , nnd as soon us tlio true
state of all'airs was learned the wildest
excitement prevailed. A thorough search
was made for the ollbndor , Private
Edwards , but ho had disappeared.
Sunday night , however , after twenty-
four nouns' desertion , ho roturni'd
nnd guvo himself up to the' authorities
in charge of the camp. Ho was
taken yesterday'to the guard house at the
fort nnd it Is probable that his trial by
court martial will como off within a few
davs.
Edwards is a haul customer. Ho was
once under Colonel Henry while that of
ficer was at Fort 6111s , N. M. , and was
arrested for stabbing a fellow prisoner.
'I ' Ho was tried.convicted nnd sentenced to
II the military p'rison for two years.
CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES ,
Tlio Postal Division of Nebraska and
Wyoming Abolished.
An important move which has just
been made by the postmaster-general
leaked out yesterday , beinpQnothing less
than the abolishing of the postal divi
sion of Nebraska and Wyoming , with
headquarters at Omaha. This division
has been in existence for several years ,
nnd bus been in charge of a chief inspec
tor with several assistants , who con
trolled all business in this state and
Wyoming. The postmaster-general has
ordered it abolished , and the business
will hereafter bo transacted from Denver ,
tno headquarters ot the Colorado divi
sion. Mr. 11. E. Spanglor , the chief of
the present Nebraska division , will by
this change be sent , to Chicago , Mr.
Brown to Denver , and Mr. Anderson to
Portland , Oregon.
The now division will consist of Colorado
rado , Nebraska , New Mexico , Wyoming
and Dakota.
This move has been under contempla
tion for some time. When Chief Postal
Inspector J. C. West was in the city a
few weeks ago , ho intimated to Mr.
Spungler that something of the sort was
liable to turn up though it was just possi
ble , ho said , that it might not occur.
Since then , however , the postmaster
general lias decided to make the move ,
nnd on and after September 1 , the di
vision will bo abolished.
A gentleman speaking of the mrtter
yesterday said : "This move has boon
made not on account of any de
sire to aim a blow at the inter
ests of Omaha or Nebraska , but si in
ply to cut down expenses. By doing away
with this division , und adding Nebraska
uud Wyoming to tlio Colorado division ,
nil this business can bo transacted from
Denver which is n convenient and central
point. In this way a great stroke of
economy will bo achieved. "
The officials about the federal building
received yesterday copies of President
Cleveland's circular letter warning oliico
holders against using their position for
polical ends or to further their private
interests.
CIUMINAfjS FAL.IJ OUT.
A Burglar "Pouches" on a Knplst ,
Who KotnllatcH.
Mention was made in the BEE Satur
day of the fact t.uui an escaped convict
mimed Ashman , from tlio Michigan pen
itentiary , who had been serving a sent
eneofor rape had been arrested in this city
bylShoriirCoburn. Yesterday a rather
sensational sequel to the afi'air turned
up in the arrest of J , N. Meyers
Afjlnnaii's pal , who had placed
the authorities on his partner's track
Meyers hud done this with the hope of
scouring a portion of the rowunl which
been ollbrcd for Ashman's arrest. From
all appearances , his greed has Involved
him in n bad scrape. Ash
man Yesterday "poached" on Myers ,
i\nd informed Shoritf Coburn that
ho was n professional burglar who had
boon operating in this city and Council
Blutl's for several weeks past. Further
more Ashman declared Meyers was the
man who cracked the bufo nt the transfer
depot about two weeks ago. As soon as
Ashman had finished relating his
Story to Coburn , MurMiul Cummlngs
WHS fionlfor at once. That official immediately -
mediately arrested Meyers , who hap
pened to bo about the court house at that
time , nnd locked him up. Meyers
claimed to bo nn innocent , nnd disclaimed
nil knowledge of the transfer burglary.
Ho is uiuloubtudly a dangerous character ,
liowover , and certainly looks llko u first-
class nil around crook.
By a strange coincidence , n workman
in the Chicago Lumber yard yesterday
foumbset of crucKsmnu's tools concealed
umlnr n pile of boards. The tools were
wrapped up in a copy of the " .Spotting
LUn , " with n HKI : of the data of August
8 , showing that they had not been there

yard on several occasions , und It is
{ hot-lit that the kit of tools belongs to
him. Detective Vnlontlno. of ( ho Union

Sunday the feast kof the Assumption
was celebrated at the cathedral of St.
Philomcna in an unusual manner. In
the morning nt seven o'clock there was
high muss nt whicji the members of the
young la tics' ' sodality nnd the young
men who had just organized a gentle
men's sodality , approached communion.
At 10 3) o'clock there was solemn high
mass which was celebrated by Father
Carroll , McCarthy and Boyle. In tun
evening at 7W : ! o'clock , a programme of
unusual interest was carried out ,
The members of the young ladles' so
dality mot nt the school house and clothed
in white with ( lowing veils and wreaths
of Ilowers adorning their heads , marched
with banners to the church. They were
accompanied by thirty-live young men ,
each ol whom Were a pale blue badge.
designating the gentlemen's sodality of
the church. Several hymns WITH sung
by the members of both sodalities , after
which the gentlemen numbered wore re-
coked into the sodality just orL'ani/cd.
and fifteen ladles wore received
Into the sodality for young ladies
which was established some years ago.
The sermon was preached by Yuthor Mc
Carthy who spoke iu feeling terms of the
edifying reception , the spiritual favors
it would grant to the participants and
the benr-lRs that might in many other
ways bo expected. Ho also referred to
the fact that the day was the tenth anni
versary of the establishment of the first
sodality of the city , nn organi/ation
which though acting in an undemonstra
tive manner had yet maintained exis
tence. The speaker warmly com
mended the efforts of Father Carroll who
had Infused now vigor into tlio older and
established tlio younger sodality. Tlio
latter irontlnman is the director of each
society , while the president und secretary
respectively of the gentlemen's sodality
are C. J. Smyth and M. P. O'Brien.
DniNlUNG MUD.
Flro Hydrants , Too , Which Would bo
Worthless In a Fli'o.
D Councilman Dailoy , yesterday
morning , told a Bur. reporter
that the rcrent examina
tion of the lire hydrants of the city devel
ops the fact that in many of them in
southeast and southwest the pressure was
inadequate to supply a serviceable stream
and in some water failed entirely to How.
Ho bad no doubt that a number of them
were clogged up with mud. The way ho
bought to remedy this state of affairs
ivas to lofuso to pay for hydrants which
ild not bo relied on for watut. The
water works company , ho thought , ought
to bo compelled to have an inspector go
iiround at stated intervals _ nnd see that
every hydrant was in condition to boused.
Air. Lluiloy further said that the intense
lieut of the past month had something to
lo with tliis state of affairs , as it had also
with the muddy condition of our water.
During some of tlio hot days of July
8,000,000 , gallons of water bad been con
sumed in the oity. It had boon lurishly
nnd cruelly wasted in spi inkling and in
other ways. And yet the capacity of the
settling reservoirs was only 0,000,000 gallons
lens , This did not jrivo sufficient time to
Jot the water sottle.and as a consrquonco
consuineis got nearly all the mud of the
river in the water they received through
the hydrants. The water did not reach
the city from the reservoir on the hill ,
as many thought , but came through the
pipes from the basins at the bottoms
without having sufficient time to bo clar
ified. Mr. Dailoy thought that this state ,
of affairs should" bo improved , and the
waterworks ho placed on a basis com
mensurate with the demands of the city.
GEN. JOHNSTON llili.
The Veteran Ex-ilobel Prostrated by
the Heat Kail Notes.
Mr. Thomas Orr , the chief clerk in
Soneral Manager Callawuy's oliico ercovi-
d yesterday private advices to the efi'cct
that General Johnston , the government
railway commissioner , who loft hero
Saturday morning , was suddenly and
seriously taken ill at North Platto. Ho
is completely prostrated by this recent
hot spell and consequently will
bo obliged to give up his con
templated trip over the Pacific linos. Ho
will return east via the Kansas division
as soon as possible. General Johnston is
70 years of ago , and his enfeebled health
will not permit him to run any risks.
Advices were received yesterday that ex
tensive storms on the Colorado division
of tlio Union Pacific caused n washout of
200 foot of track near Hortenso , Col. , last
night The track has been repaired and
trains are now running as usual.
The first train on the Missouri Pacific
between Weeping Water and Lincoln
will be run between the 20th and 28th of
this month. The agreement between the
road nnd Lincoln is to have the train to
run before the Ibt day of September.
The company is now fixing its stations
und getting them ready for occupancy.
There will bo four of these , namely ,
Wabush , Elmwood , Eagle and Walton.
The only round house will bo at Lincoln.
It is quite likely that a train will bo rim
from Lincoln to this city for Lincoln
business independently of those which
will connect with the regular through
trains.
M. M. Kirkmnn , comptroller of the
Chicago & Northwestern road , was in the
city ycstenlay niorning. Ho hud some
business to trunsu'ot in western lown , and
then ran over hero to wait for the return
train last niirlit for Chicago.

Such It Booms , Was the Ttcsolutlon
of tlio Presbytery.
A reporter for the BHK culled upon a
member of the southwest Presbyterian
church yesterday morning and.larned thai
ID all probability the local presbytery
would uccopt th resignation of Kov. T.
C. Hall , as pastor of the church in ques
tion. The protest against the acceptance
filed by the pttrisbionora was more by
way of compliment to Mr. Il.ill than a
dcsiro to keep him against his will. The
prosbjtory understood this nnd wouli
doubtless a-rreo to penult Mr. Hall to of
ficluto in Chicago. The latter baa
accepted the cull of ono of the
most charming churclipi theru
uud doubtless intended to otllolato in i
when ho should return from Eutopo
With regard to ttm "Christian Hour , " the
gentleman in question said ho know i
was Hov , Mr , Hull's mtont to continue
its publication nnd oomo lioro nt lens
pnco a month to help it along and muko
it a first class pupor. The meeting of the
picsbytory , hn hnld had been but poorly

the nevt luctitlna in September. Hov

The raciest programmes of the season
at tlio Stadt tlicjitro summer garden was
that of Siimlaylniglit , consistingof "Mon
sieur Hercules" nnil "Tollpatch , " In
the first , there was a happy mixing up of
characters conducing to a most laugha
ble gcric.s J > f absurd situations. The
weight of the piece was bravely born by
Messrs. Schniitz , llorsky and Hatirels.
Mr. SchmttB made a bold , dashing
"Schrier , " with an excellent makeup.
Mr. Horsky's "Hercules" was admirable ,
and when the lniiontiro | of his strength
was shown by a little child running away
with his "threo-liunilreil-pouiul weight , "
with the manipulation of which ho had
astonished his tulmirors , the curtain fell
with rounds of apphmso. Mr. linurels'
"Malilmanii" was : v faultless impersona
tion of an old gentleman unused to the
bnisqnoness to which he was innocently
treated by "Schrier. "
iTollpatch" kept the audience In laugh
ter and upulatipo throughout its presen
tation. Mr. Hattrois was Ihu central
figure , ably assisted by Mrs. I'uls-Ahl ,
and Air. llorsky. Mrs. llatircis had little
to do and Mr. 1'nls made an excellent hit in
the unimpoi taut Dart assigned him. Mrs.
Puls-Alil made a very clever act in Char
lotte , and in her opening vocal number ,
in which she sang of love making in
ovcral Gorman dialects , received a most
icarty recall. The piece turned upon
ho mistakes mtulo by a blundering , self-
issumptivo servant and the unmitigated
joldness with which he lied himself out
f all his predicaments. The part may
ic considered as one of Ihu best assumed

ciation's buildings wore struck by light

tliis wore true , there would be n poor
