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.

txvo cases in regard to the registering of
certain bonds from Daxves and ork

The celebrated Daxvsou will case has
been under discussion of late under a
recent decision xvhieh allectb nothing ,
merely stating that the casein question
xvas xvrongfully removed from the state
to the federnl courts ami remanding it
back to its place of inception. Insofar
as thu merits of the case are concerned ,
they do not seem to be n fleeted in the
least by the remanding , and the otl'orts
evidently made to impress the idea that
a decision atlecting the ultimate findings
has been reached , are erroneous
Tlio McKnteo murder case xvas called
in the district court yesterday afternoon
and xvill consume all of to-day , judging
from the progress made up to last even
ing. This is thu casein xvhicli thu do-
lendanl , James McHntee , stands indicted

his excessive cruelty to his txvelvc-ycar-
old daughter , xvho died fiom the ollccts ,
.13 demonstrated in the post mortem ex

her at tlio hands of her father Thu case
xvill be closely contested.

"These , continued"are
the hardest ones wo have to collect , i
xvould rather have a large bill against a
man than a small one , because then I
generally knoxv my customer beforehand
und all I have to do is to send around my
collector or mail the bill thu tirst of the

bills. Parties continually put oft" the col

to pay anything. If xvc sue it xvill cost
more than the bill amounts to. There

of say $ 15 a month , thus virtually adding
almost $ -.100 a year to his income. With
the precautions noxv taken by many small

he can operate his scheme for a consider

A NEW FASHION.
The fintcst Crnzo llmt Hnq Sprtins
Up In New York Oltjr.
A noxv York correspondent of the Bos
ton Globe write ? : There nre not tailors
enough in thlscity xvho underMiiml the art
of cutting and sewing xx omen'.s jrarmciits
to supply the demand caused by the craze
among faslnonoblo xvomcn for tailor-
made garments Thu art is a noeullar
onu and requires moro skill than the
tailoring for men's coatsvests and trous
ers. 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. Tlie shops in which
xvoineu aru noxv ordering jackets , ulsters ,
and sacntius increase faster than
the xvorking tailors ore able to learn the
new trade. The dressmakers must bo
snlToring , for many women are noxv or
dering whole suits made in tailor shops.
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 measures
are taken by women , and thu nii'ii do not
actually touch or handle their lady cus
tomers , except in "lilting" them after the
suits arc made. ' 1 ho mistaken notion
that men dressmakers and xvomen's
tailors held thu Mime relationship to their
customers that the old-fa&hionod female
dressmakers did to xvomon of old hin
dered the development of the noxv de
parture for a long xvliile. Hut , as a mat
ter of fact , women measure the lady cus
tomers in complete attire ( in the pres
ence of the tailor , of course , ) ami xvonion
assist the customers on xx ith the hew irar-
nients xvhen they are to be littcd. Women
me not intrusted xvilh the making of
saoques , jackets , ulsters , or xvusts , hoxv-
ever , because these hax'o to be
lined , seamed , and in all respects
treated exactly as men's coats and
vests are , and th.'rein lies the
mystery and knack of a trade that is im
posing a tux of trom 51) ) to 100 per cent ,
more money per dtcss from the well-to-
do women of the land than they used to
pay before the new garments came into
vogue. Of late the female dressmakeis
have been obliged to inmate the tailor-
made garments insolf-clefonso.and nearly
all the ui.terprisinir ones are doing their
best to Keep iheir customeis by produc
ing garments that aru in most respects as
like the ones made by men as one pea is
like another. \ \ omen xvho cannot afford
to go to the men ami get the magic trade
mark ofI Fifth avenue woman's tailor

tailor-made garments of thoirold diess-
makers and march the streets as proudly
as their moro fortunate sisters.
There is only ono place in xvhich a man
can detect the dillerenco between the iron-
nine and the bogus tailor-mailo jacket.
That place is the theater. Vour leal

thoric portmonnaio , xvalks to her or

a compressive xvriggle that drops the col
lar of the. jacket down her back , pulls ono
sloox'o oil'and then the other , and dually
folus the garment outside in xvitli much
ostensatiotis indillerenco and tosses it
over the back of the chair so as to have
the collar with the Fifth avenue label ex
posed exactly under the nose of thu lady
in the seat behind her. The spurious and
economical sxvell does , nothing of the
sort. Reaching her seat she turns her
back to the stage and her face to the
lolks in the next row , squirm * out of her
jacket , folds it outside out and hangs it
so skillfully over thu back of her chair
that no one but a mind-reader can ever

The Queen of Itnly'H Coral Necklace.
Com t Journal : Thu queen of Italy on
almost all occasions xvears a coral neck

burden the graceful neck and bust. The
little coral nccKlacu has its history. The
young prince , of Naples xvas but five

Venice xvith his tutor , ho xvas greatly
tempted by a coral necklace exhibited in
u shop window. His idea was to make it
a present to his mother , but the uricrj
asked xvas far too princely for the little
prince , as it was stipurb coral , and IIP ,
thcreforo , proved himself no bad judge.

chase tlie necklace bit by bit , and to pay
down all lie had about mm for the hrst
portion of tlio necklace , namely , fifty

on account , and in the course of txvo
yeais ho had saved enough to pay oir

before. DuIJoso and his xvi )
xvere run by the ogs until next night.
Thn next morning his trail was followed
to Canton and struck sixteen hours old
xvhich was followed thrco miles xvhei
their fierce biav told the fugitives Inn
been found Ho and his wife weroasleoi
on a bed of pine sti.ixv , and \xero awak
itnud by the bark ot the dogs. DuHosi
'
left his' wife and ran 100 yaiusandgot bu
bind a tiuo and began to liio as the dog' '
gathered iirouml him , He killed one of tlio
hounds , and : us thu others of Urn pack
caught the sight of blood they became
fren/.icd and m.ulc a dash for him , when
CratiMxoll roilu uu and called them oil' .
DuBoso swore ha xxould never bo taken
r.i'l
alive , and liied at the men , who tired '
b.iek , and in the exchange of shots his
arm was bioken.
When the prisoner was handctilli'd ho
turned to the crowd with a sneer , and
said ;
"Well , bo.xri.you have got me this tune ;
but I'll make a break again. "
He next escaped from the mines in i
Mai1 , " 't ' when ho did not go , for he dis -
covered the dogs word after him by their
yells. Ho made a circle of txvo miles and
i illumed to the prison , and as ho gave
himself up to the giiftrd , said :
' There is iu > use trying togotaxvay
Horn those bloodhomiifs 1 hax'u come
buck home. " '
DuHose was taken xvith n peculiar
mania for bible study , ] and beseeuhed the
prison management Jo allow him to have
a bible in his bunk , xxhieh xvas allowed
him , xvitli paper , poit and ink He xvioto
poetry and prose fmni the bible , and
would till page after page of foolacap i ) >
papjr xvith his xwitm3. He xvould
preach to the convicts , and has biien the
bible oracle of the pjaco Ho pioaohcs
and teaches and imagines himself the son
of ( Jod. Hi ; conoohvd the idea in Febru
ary , 1881 , that he mnst last forty days
and nights , and refused to oat. but xvus
prevented from doing so by the prison
authorities. He doturmincd to do so or
make his escape , xvhich caused him to fie
moru carefully xvatehed by t'io ' guards.
Ho nailed his opjioitumty , and one day
at H o'clock in the afternoon
passed the mining boss in the
frlopo xxlth u crowd of convicts xvho
xvuro behind in tlioir ta. k , and asked him
if ho bail any objection to his unloading
an extra car. Pumiisaloii xvas granted
him , and at sjipper lie turned up missing '
xvhen the count xvas made. It xvas
thought lie xva.s trying to escape through
21
lliu uiiuo to the old entry , and several
miners were detailed to look for him ,
xvhich search proved fruitless and xvas
gix'cn up. The ne\t daj the entire mine
xvus searched xvith experienced miners
with lanterns and lights without linding
him , and ft reward offlO was otl'ered for
bis body , dead of uliv cita , ho was believed
in be in. the rnino Bomowhcro. For SOT-
nrnl davs two men wutohcd ovcry inch of
room they could walk , over , and were
about to give up , xvhpn ono of thorn
spied n light in the farthest end of an
abnndoncd section and xvenl toward it ,
win it suddenly it was blown out. It was
'
decided it xv'as n light in idu by Dtilloso ,
bdt no ono would approach it for fear of
being killed. The light xvas seen again ,
bvt the authorities concluded ho xvoultl
need food and como out.
For fourteen Hiivs Dullo o remained In
his place of exclusion without teed or
water , and did not budge until thu
tifteenth day , when ho hoard the men
running thu | > umu in thn slope , and ho
made a noiso. The mon stopned work
and abandoned the pumps , thinking It
xvas n ghost thuy saxv. Ono strong minor ,
braver than hm companions , caught him
and carried him to the top. Ho was a
strand ! looking sight , and had changed
almost beyond recognition ; Ills hair had
grown xvhito , his tramo xvas bent , and
xvhat xvas oncoa xvell developed physical
'
man was a nartlal xvreck' Ho acted
strangely , and would not oat or drink ,
and for several days xvas unlit for work
of any kind. He has never been the same
person , and is not required , on account
of hi- ? physical condition , to do haul
work.
Thn place whereho xvas concealed for
so lonjr xvas a remarkable stronghold , on
which ho bad xvorkul for months.
Wheni DuHose's xyife is is not knoxvn ,
but ho sxvears that ( Jnd has promised
him to let liiiu escape , xvh'ch ' he will do
when ho gets an opportunity in the
meantime , he is im gentle as" " a lamb , and
spends his limo reading the Bible.

Investigations by Dr. R. Von Helmhol/
described to the Herlm Koral society con
firm the statements that the formation of
cloud in saturated air is induced solely
by particles of dust and that the liner and
sparser are the dust particles the more
sloxvlv is the cloud formed. These results
are also confirmatory of Protestor Tyn-

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.
