On the 1st of tlio present , month E. H. Chapman & Co , Uio wholes-ale grocers doing business at li07 ! Howard street , re leased from their employ K. H. Day , one of their traveling salesmen who had grown careless in his methods of report ing his sales and collodions to the house. No serious error Was found in Day's accounts at tlio time of his discharge , and his employers , know ing of some of his peculiar Iransaelions , congralulatcd themselves that they had got rid of him so easily , A few days ago , however , they received information mation that Day had been out on Uio road visiting his former customers and collecting money from them on old accounts , A man was luirridly sent 'out over Day's territory , and his report con firmed tlio informnlion. From a hasty examination it has been learned that Day has collected about $1,200 with a largo number of customers to be heard from. Since his discharge Day hns been boarding at the Cox/leli's house. Mr. Chapman wont there last night and went _ through Day's _ baggage , securing evidence which convinced him of Ins crookedness. lie met Day soon afterwards and requcsti'd him to go with him to the police station and .submit to an examination of hi.s case. Day con sented , saying that ho was willing to huvo hi.s record examined and started with his former employer. At the corner of Fifteenth and Hartley streets ho suddenly turned upon Mr. Chapman and knocked him down ami then lied through an ailey and made his scap'j. Mr. Chapman notified the police of the ease and they at once com menced a search fjr the man. Day ap peared at the Co//ons a litlle after mid night last night and asked for his grip , but was informed that it was held for his board bill. Ho has not yutf been appre hended. Friends of Dutnu Unites. The meeting of the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals , hold at the house of Judge Savage last even ing was largely attended by both ladies and gentlemen. Colonel Chose was elected temporary chairman , and Mrs. Savage acted as secretary , llomarks were made by several persons. Dr. Ctc.or.go L. Miller said that in his opinion an infusion of young and warm blood was needed to forward , the interests of tiie society. It was desirable also that money should bo raised for the purpose of cinuloying nn agent , not only of vigor and determination , but also of prudence , who would neither be deterred from the performance of his duty by threats , nor lose his temper when opposed or insulted. Ho announced his readiness to do his part in a financial way to start the so ciety on a working basis. General S. E. Smith gave an interest ing account of the mode of raising money and conducting the workin Wheeling , W. Va. As to finances , , ho said that in his opinion an amend ment to the present law might bo made by which one-half of the prices imposed for cruelty to animals should go to the society. A letter from Mr. J. T. Hell was read , offering to give live dollars per month towards the finances of the society. The following ollicers were then unan- mously elected : Colonel Champion S. Chase , president ; ) tuigo J. W. Savage. Judge Howard 1 $ . Smith and General J. E. Smith , vice presidents ; Mr. Fred. Mil lard , treasurer ; Mrs. J. W. Savage , cor- resiionding secretary. Various methods of raising the neces sary amount to prosecute the work of humanity wore discussed , and it was sug gested that a ironoral meeting bo called at an early date in a more central local ity , the hall of the Young Mon.s Chris tian association being mentioned as a suitable place if it could bo obtained. Remarks were made by Mrs. Dinsmoor. Colonel Guy V. Henry , Dr. Giflbrd , How ard Smith. Esq. , and n committee of three , consisting of Mr. W. II. Baldwin , Mr. Fred. Millard and General Smith were appointed a committee to arrange for a subsequent meeting. It is designed to elect , in addition to the above named ollicers , an executive committee and a board of managers and an agent at an early day. After n further interchange of sentiments the meeting adjourned. JlAMjtiY'S WKIjOOMU TO OMAHA. The I'lisiilist Uuyally Itucoivoil by 11JH .Many Friends. The Missouri Pacific train at 0 o'clock , last evening , brought to Omaha , Jack llanloy , who had just been liberated from imprisonment in Lincoln for his light with Fell two years ago , lie was accompanied by John and Ed Itothory , Jack Nugent , Goo. Barnes , Patsoy Fallen , Sack Morrison , Win. Morrlss , P. H. NolV , and Colonel A. II. Forbes , All of these , with the exception of Messrs , Morrison and Fallen , went to Lincoln , on Sunday night. The latter wont tlioro vt'bterdny , arriving on Uio 15 , it M. but a few moments before Han- ley and party left for Ihis citv on the Paoilic. They thuroforq missed the people they sought , but taking the Union Pncilie train an hour later , headed 1 oil'the Missouri Pacjho at VYeopinjf Water and there awaited the arrival of tiiij latter , when all the old acquaintances rode into Omaha as described. The party drove Immediately to Ed Itothory s , on Eleventh , street , which , after a stay of a few moments , , they left for Herb Itothory s , on Fix- lecnlh street. At this point the crowd of friends who gathered lo welcome Jack Hanley tilled the saloon , and almost ovury welcome was accom panied with a demonstrative handshake and a demand to sol them up again , Ilnnluy , to use n very oht-stmiUy chest nut , was tliij lion of the occasion. Ho Doro his honors and the deep laudation with modesty and smiled ono of his swoi teat smiles. There Is nothing about Hanley lo show that lie has just come trom the prison. With all the associa tion he has had witji vicious people ple , hi.s demeanor is dignified and gen tlemanly , and his foatnrod retain the ruddy , healthy lingo tint they possessed nl Iho lime ot his incarcoraliou. Shortly niter going lo the penitentiary llanloy was put to work in tlio stone yard , Thence , ho was changed to the guard's room , later to the chapel and hospital , Ho left the , place with the recommendation of. both warden nnd keepers that ho was ono of the best behaved men who hud over been qoii' fineti in the penitentiary- Last cvumng a tiwtimonial banquet was tnndored him by his /rJoniU at 31.1) ) South Eleventh btrcct , Thu tables were most t"njptingly arranged and a copious -mip- p'y ' of di'lieiuslci" aixl ubstantiaU' was * > > f > 'MonlliO board.

Air Keen in an eloquent manner spoke ot Mr. llnnloy as ha heard him spoken , and detailed the pleasure it all'orded him to meet the gentleman under such pecu liarly happy circumstances. Ho con cluded by cordially tc'inlinu Mr. Hanley a warm welcome among Ids friends. Mr. llanloy said ho could not make a speech and felt that ho could do no more than to say that he thanked them. Speeches were then made in turn by almost every man at the table , the tenor of which was the esteem in which each held the guest of the evening , and the pleasure his presence once more in their midst nUbruoil them. Toward the close Messrs. Keen , BUter- son and McCiino rendered some music in a very pleasant manner. The banquet was adjourned at 11:30 , and everybody had an excellent time. The Gas Question Again. Mr. Charles Cowin , who is superin tending the work of sinking the gns well for the stock yiin'.s company in South Omaha , is going to make an investiga tion of the qualities of the gas that hns been found in the sinking of the wells. Ho took a largo quantity of it yesterday and sent it , in a rubber bag , to Lincoln to have it tested nt the state university labratory. If the material proves to bo combustible the question of cheap fuel will bu settled. It it proves to bo carbon gas , as some think it is , it will prove very valuable , as it can be , when subjected tea a certain process , used in tnc cooling rooms in the packing hon es. The re sult of the test will bo awaited witli in terest. Chloroformed mill Uoblicd. Cat Shult/e , living on North Eighteenth street , awoke yesterday morning to llnd the wind blowing through his pompa dour from an open door , winch ho was sure he had locked on Sunday night. lie was sinTcring severely from a headache while the unmistakable odor of chloro form pervaded the room , lie found also that his room had been plundered and $100 in money and a number of other valuables stolen , TALKS WITH TKAVEIjKltS.

If so the work of buildintr the bridge will bo commenced .in the spring. The bed of the river is such that tlio bridge can be constructed with much less labor than the ono at St. Louis.

I nave my mail forwarded from Chicago to Grand'Island , Hastings , or some other town on my route where the postollico accommoda tions arc in keeping with the size of the town. " G. E. Chandler , Cedar. Jfapids , la. [ Mr. Chandler is connected with the Cedar Rapids Gazette ] "Yes , prohibi tion has killed Cedar Hapids. Three years ago wo had 15,000 people with about fifty saloons , paying a revenue of $30,000 a year to the city. In that year nearly two million dollars were placed in building improvements. To-uay thorp arc two hundred saloons running , selling "prohi bition,1 n decoction that will paraly/.o a man quicker than the worst grade of ninety cent tanglefoot , and the saloons pay not a cent of license. Drunkenness has not decreased at all. Our popula tion lias increased very slowly , and $25,000 will cover the cost of the buildings that have been erected this year. " J. V.

Mnny line buildings are going up , replacing the rookeries that were put up during the mining boom in ' 70 and there abouts. Wo are anxiously looking for railroad connections with Omaha. We could furnish the smelting works herewith with work enough to eiuiblo them to build the road and pay for it in a few years. " ODDS AND I3M > S. Stray fietivus From u Reporter's Note Hook. "You can talk of romantic marriages , but I have ono that takes the cake , ' * said Charley Mitchell , the popular Milwau kee conductor , as ho sat in the Millard rotunda the other niglit swapping yarns with nn insurance agent and a Chicago clothing drummer. ' 'It happened lust week. An elderly gentleman and a lino- looking Italy , sty about thirty years of ago , were on the train when 1 took charge of it at Marion in the morning. I first noticed them at breakfast , Both wc'ro in mourning costumes. I noticed' the old gentleman was distressing himself almost to attend to the lady's every wisn , and I knew they were not man and wife. Well , later in the day I caught the old man in thu smoker , got into a conversation with him and Boon heard his story. They say old fools arc the biggest fools and 1 am now convinced of It. That man was in love so deep * that only u mar riage will get him out and Ihero conies the romance. Ho is going to got out just that way. Hjs Story was that his wife died and ho complied with tlio wish she had of ion expressed while living to bo buried at her old homo in Brattloboro , Vermont , and was just returning from the funeral to his homo nt Silver Ciill' , Colorado. At Chicago he met his com panion , the lady in question , who was on nor loncsono journey home from tlio newly made1 grave of her husband , who hud died while visiting with her nt the home of her mother at Sheboygan Falls , or near there in Wisconsin. Tlio result of their acquaintuncn was that the old man fell desperately in love with the widow , and , if appearances could betaken taken ino | account , the widow was mak ing a good second inthe raco. Yesterday I met the .old man at the transfer. He had liEcn dbwn to the widow's homo , at .Stniibury. Mo. . . and waon his way to his own Colorado home. His faeo beamed with n lover's Joy as ho told mo that lie had persuaded the lady to become Mrs. John Scolioldm Cristmas. I did not learn the lady's nanir. " When Charley linishcd his stof.v the 'first object that nt- traded his ntiutitipn was a littio card which the insni'iu\co \ man hold in his hand. It bore the inscription , "I am .something of a liar myself. " "You don't know how much of an Omaha a flair this paving block industry 1s , " sa'd a well known contractor. "Tin- blocks that word laid on Sixteenth street wore cut from tri-esthatgrt'won , Wiscon sin lands , owned by F. W. Gray of this city. He bought a largo tract of land and had the timber cut. ii'inl sawed into blocks especially for Onialla contracts. " Mr. F. A. Nash , the general agent of the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul road , wears a rather scared visage at present. A wild pony did it all. Mr. N's littio girl has a small animal which she is very fond of riding , and which is when his mistress holds- the ri'igns is docile and gentle. But the other day , when Mr. Nnsh took a notion to ride the pony , it behaved itself in anything but a pleasant manner. No sooner had Mr. Nash mounted it , and firmly holding the reins , gave it the word 'ir'lang , ' then it threw up its tnil and started down hill at a break neck speed. By a series of queer antics , it managed to make things pretty jively for the unfortunate rider. Finally it gave a leap into the air , and when it lighted on its leet again , Mr. Nash was lying bruised and bleeding by the road side. He picked himself up , limped pain fully homo and paid n small boy a quar ter to go after the pony. Hore'iifter Mr. Nash will allow his daughter to do the horseback ridinor for the family , and at tend strictly to the railroad business. DIITcront Kinds of Cruelty. "I often wonder " remarked , a gentle man , "why it is that sonic people arc so tender-hearted , that the very thought of sulTcring or the sight of blood makes them almost sick , while other people are so excessively cruel. The oilier day a friend of mine proposed that wo visit ono of your Omaha packing houses , and while there we saw a large fierce Texsis steer knocked down and deprived of life o quickly , that it was impossible that he could have felt any pain or could have realized that he was being hurt. But the sight of the blood , and the thought that a creature was being deprived of life. was enough to make my friend sick and ho hurried homo , only to think about it and dream about it all night. The next day he said ho would rather give $1,000 than to visit that horrible place again. A few years : igo 1 visited Naples , in Italy. and learned that in that city old horses , young goats and lambs , ( loirs , cats and rats are all skinned alive , because the skin when removed from the living animal is considered more supple and commands a higher price in the market , The dogs are soi/.ed by legalized dog- stealers , thrust into a pound , kept two days without food and then half-stunned with a stick ajid skinned while living , Old and useless' , horses are placed in a pound , and when totally exhausted from hunger are nailell to1 planks and llaycd alive. That is what I call cruelty. " A Star KnoeJik Out a Ilneffncemnn , Last week at , 'n. h'fto hour Ella Juno Meadc , the gifted entertainer and yocal- ist , reached oneiif-OVnnha's neighboring towns to lillan engagement. At the hall she found a mistake had been inado in checking , and insteatj of her truhks with costumes for he.r copyrights , a foreign article was waiting ; for an introduction. Calling the stafapri age'iit ho told her if her trunk was - > t , the depot she could have it. by identifying it. She hastened there , pointed it ont-to the baggageman , but that stieklor"fdt"rcd ; tape llatly re fused without the1 check. In vain she showed her name on the trunk and said the audience were waiting. Tiring of his obstinacy she seined the trunk , so did ho. Miss Mcado doubled her jeweled list and made a Sullivan rush for the tape mcasuru that caused him to lose hi.s balance and the lamp chimney. Ik-fore he got back from gross the twinkling little star had her trunk outside and sat down upon it with "You touch that trunk now at your peril. " There was genuine tragedy in the tones of her won derful voice , and the baggageman was so dumbfounded that ho forgot himself and politely ran across the street for a dray to take the trunk to the hall. Fif teen minutes later the magnetic littio woman was entrancing an audience as if nothing had happened. An aillicted public erics bravo 1 Ho Won "Clark S.

Pall Mall Gazettes The Novoo Vroinya is again talking of a railroad to the Pa cific ncrossSiboria. The project is absurd ; not because such a line could not be made , but because the expense of con struction is more than Russian finances could stand or than the circumstances ot the country traversed would justify. The Transcaspian line to the Afghan frontier is a inure bagatelle compared wilh a Siberian line through lo Vladivo- stock. The former is under five hundred miles ; while the latter would bo nearly half us long again as the Canadian Pa- cilic , and would run for most of the way through a much more difficult country. Practically , nothing has been done so far to favor so stupendous a project : the Ufa Xlatoust section of railway to Ekaterin burg having only lately been decided upon , after years of dispute over the con flicting claims of din'erent towns. One Russian enthusiast for a Pneilio railway has estimated i'25.000,000 as not too little for the enterprise. The Canadian Pacillc from Montreal to Port Moody cost fully A')2,000,000 ) for construction alone. . The Russians will have to duvotu many years to turning thojr gnn-inolal into plow shares and their bayonoU into pruning hooks before the Siberian railway project becomes feasible. Meanwhilethe isolated position of the Anipor provinces will invite - vite the occupation of the first maritime power that Russia linds herself at war with. _ _ _ _ _ _ Where n Type-Writer Is UBoless.

The general tells of an interview he had with General Chester A. Arthur when Uio latter was managing the republican campaign in ihis state. General Sheridan had been mak ing a series of speeches over the stale. When he came back he called al the headquarters to report to General Arthur , who asked him how much the committee was indebted to him for Is expenses General Sheridan re plied : " 1 have $ ! 15 left over from llie check yon gave mo for expenses. The committed does not owe me an.vthing.bnt I want to say 1 was up in Potsdam the other night to make a speech. There are just eighteen democrats In thn town.

While Mumping in Ohio a number of years go General Sheridan had with him as an alternate speaker a man of somewhat slow observation. The general had a favorite story which lie was in the habit of tolling his audiences and which invariably provoked uproarious laughter and applause. Several appointments had been tilled when ono day his companion said to General Sheridan , "I would like to ask u favor of you , I would hkn to have you let mo tell that story of yours in my speech lo-iuglit. " The general kindly consented , but intimated at the same time that a great deal of the .story con sisted in the manner in which it was told. His companion was extremely confident that he could lell it in such n way as to evoke the due applause. He took the platform at night and at the proper time proceeded with an attempt to tell the general's story. lie boaH it in the mid dle , told it both ways , and wound it up so llatly that not eyeii a smile was pro voked on the face of the most humor- loving man in the audience. After the meet ing was over the unfortunate speaker said to the general : "Did you hear me tell that story ? " "Yes , "said Sheridan , dryly. "Well , did you notice that there was not a single smile in all the audience ? " "Yes. " "Well. I say , Sheridan , the audiences to which yon have told that story have always laughed heartily. " "Yes. " Then there was a silence for the space of two or three minutes , during which his companion was in a brown study out of which ho waked up with a remark which nearly took the general ofl" his feet. This is what he said : "General , it is re markable what a difference thorc is in audiences.
