Irnow THK itKr's javcornuaKAr.l The talk on the streets of Lincoln /eslerday xvas largely confined to the nrrest of K , U. Coon , chief clerk under Division Superintendent D. E , Thomp- non , of the B. < & M. The arrcut xvas made late tlio dav before , and done in the most quiet manner possible , but yes terday the city had possession of it , and the queries were nil turned toward the facts of the case. Inquiry at the rooms of the county court show that the charges against Coons are for obtaining money under false pretenses , and xvhen he xvas taken before County Judge Parker the preliminary hearing xvas defetrcd until Tuesday next , Coons giving bonds to the amount of $ r > 00 for his appearance , with ( Jran Knslgnas his bondsman. The facts elicited from a vigorous use of a pump are at best meagre , but the arrest was made on tie unearthing of an al leged bogus time-chock collected by Coons In the name of a party unknown to the company or its pay-rolls. It is very freely alleged that this is but ono of many transactions of a like character , and xvhllo the present case wns taken on the one instance developed , it is premised that it is only the beginning of the end , and amidst thu many rumors alloat aru others stating that a high life beyond I ho limits of : v not heavy salary has involved other indebt edness on the part of Mr. Coons tint will cause outside parties to hustle. The ar rest has certainly created a sensation , and the channels of discussion recite that Coons' purchase of u { 500 fast horse and many pleasure trips and expensive foci- oty outlays have all contributed toxvard leading him to a , life beyond the limits of his salary. Mr. Coons , in social circles , has always been pomilar. and in his bus iness relations with the B. it Al. has al ways heretofore stood xvpll and to all appearance ? above suspicion , facts , all of them , tli : , < make his apparent downfall all the more noticeable , and xyhich xvill lead his preliminary hearing to be watched xxith a great deal of interest. A number of subpu'iias hax'o been issued for xx ituobses m the case among other em ployee's , and the.secruoy maintained by the company in regard to the ca e ren ders the facts of the progress made in un earthing additional evidence meagre at be.it. USWISIPTKN II1STOUY. There xvas a "deal" in the hospital for the insane question of the removal of the head , that has been known to a fexv for some time , but guarded from newspaper vimv xvitli all the strategy that the king of the institution could command. Some time before the election , xvhen the gov ernor had decided to remox'o the super intendent , Church Howe appeared on the bceno and interceded for thu doctor mid bejjced of the governor not to re move Matthexvson until after the elec tion , promising the governor to dohxMr into the hands the resignation of Matthew- son if the extension xvas granted. The governor has been waiting and is noxv waiting liku patience on a monument for that aforesaid resignation , and why it does not come is evidently a thing un known to the gubernatorial department and liable to remain unknown so far as Howe is concerned , although in the grand deal Matthe.wson has done his part in giving all but seven votes in the precinct whuiu the asylum is located for IIowe , and evidently thinks llowo is paid xvithout thu further hand ing ovei of any resignation whatever. Meanxvhilo the governor is vainly xvaiting for Ho we to pull the string , and like Diekeus1 Micawbcr waiting lor Hoiuethinir to turn up , and the board who have xvaited patiently for this triangular agreement to focus , hax'e adjourned action in the matter for one xvcok. In the meantime , while the governor is waiting for Church Howe to fullill his part of the contract and produce the resignation , the king at the hospital is liku the dis ciple on Hat creek , "putting in his best licks" for hiimnlf ox'ory time and besides fortifying himself with letters bulldo/.ud from employes anil letters from parties xvho have friends in the asylum ami know hi * power , he has tuken legal adxice to thwart if possible the governor's deter mination to remove him , and is evidently laying the xvires to light the governor with all the schemes he can concoct. Ex'idontly ho is clinging to the hopeless idea that if he. can oxeriide the present state government he can do the same in future. If Church IIouc would exhibit the fact that. Im really intended to fullill his part of the contract , that resignation would be forthcoming.

The ( liircrenco lies in the necessity for closely fitting the curving tigure of u tightly-laccdnnd bustle-adorned woman , in cutting xx hose garments there is no plain sailing above thu xvalst , such ns the nimple figure of a man presents.

The theory behind this new fashion is that men display moro taste than xumien in devising nexv forms ot drapery , new combinations of goods and colors , and styles of ornamentation Then , again , cloth is decreed by fashion for all street dresses this inter , and it has nalr.nilly followed that the skirts shall be made in the sumo place xvhore the jack ets and xvaisls aio put together. Women aio not entirely crowded out by this noxv fashion , howcvur. It is a mistake to suppose that xvotnen's tailors and men dressmakers numsitro their women customers as thev do thu men xvho como to thorn.

THE CHILD OF THE CONFEDERACY Honors Kxtondca to Mist Winnie Davis by AVornhipcrs ol' the Ijost Cause. Washington Tribune : The triumphal tour of Mr. Jefferson Davis , late the .so- called president of the no-called southern confederacy , did not extend us far north aa Richmond , much to the norroxv of the xxoMhipers of the "Lfy-t Cause , " and they hax-e seemed to yearn for an opportunity to flaunt their treasonable predilections. They have found thisi opportunity in the perwon of Miss Winnie Davis , whoso foundation for the notoriety into xvhich she has been lorccd 1 = 1 that her father id the aforesaid Jofi'erson Davis. Aa lar as wo can learn she differs in no essential re.spect from the ordinary run of young ladies In the bloom and fresh ness of their txventy-lirst year. It has not been claimed for her that she is ex ceptionally beautiful , or graceful , or talentedor has in any preeminent degree womanly qualities to justify the national prominence into which she has suddenly risen. She has been nut upon a pedestal simply because she is "Tho Child of the southern confederacy"having been born to Jefl'enum Davis a nhoit time before ho left Richmond , hurredly , upon the forc ing of Lf o's lines in f/ont of Petersburg , only atoppmir in hh preparations for flight long enough togix'o the inexcusably wicked order for the destruction of the city an act as culpable in intent as , and only dill'urinjr in the degree of the crime , from his inliniloly greater wickedness of trying to destroy the nation to gratity his inordinate ambition Ileciiuse Miss Davis has such a father , ar.d for no other reason , hho is biting ex- ailed above all other women south of Maion and Dixon's liny. She holds re coptioii ! ) in Itlehmiind , in which Khc. quite outshines the governor of Vugimu ; she Is elected an honorary member of a veteran military organi/ation ; who is so licited 10 bestow decorations on veteran and distinguished soldiera as if t-lio were queen in her own land , anil ( in.illy the president of the United Stales and his xvifo arc invited to vKit Richmond and join her in holding a reception at the gubernatorial mansion. Upon Ihe do- clention of Mrs Cleveland and several lailic'of the cabinet to make tlio journey , a great pother is raised about "the neo- pie of the south being insulted by the re fusal to meet Miss Davis. ' Tin ) latter is rapidly assuming as oflon- hive features ni the journey of the young ludy'ri father from lieanvolr to Mont gomery , Atlanta and bax-annali hut spiing.
