A IcloKrnni v/nt received hero early j'rs Icnlay morning from Now York , stxtii : ! | llmt a party nanictl M. Hernandez luv wrlltoii from Omaha to thoelloct that Vic I lorla Moroslnl Schilling , thorlohir.au' daughter and the coachman's wife wa in this city and stopping at the convcn of tlu ; Sacred IlciTt. Itvi3 known , of course , that till luckless woman , after her father's severity verity , her own failure to succeed npoi the MHL'o , and the novelty of a weditci lifo with an adventurer had passct away , had forsaken her spouse and mys terioiiHlv dibappeared. All efforts t < learn 01 lier wliercabouts had failed , am the telegram in question , it was thought would bring her to light. A reporter lor the Ur.E according ! ; drove to the academy yesterday morniuj and asked whether any lady answering t < the description of the Schilling womai had lately been entertained there. The query provoked unfeigned aston isliment and a forcible yet courteous iln nial from the mailamc with whom tin conversation was held. "Wo have no ouch person as you dc scribe in the convent,1' said the madame "It would bo against our rules to allow any person except ourselves and our stu dents to remain in the convent ovci night. Unless in the most extreme cases For instance , suppose our convent wen at u great dibtance from towr and something should pvcnt i visiting mother from rcturmiif at .night to her hotel , the only thhif we could do would , be to permit he : simply to stop in one of the lower room.1 of our building. Wo could not think o allowing a married woman to enter tin classes with our scholars. " The reporter suggested that Victoria , i looking for n convent , was doing so because cause she wanted temporary rctiremcn and to avoid the annoyance and unhan piucss of her unfortunate position. 11 < then detailed a few points in Airs. Schill ing's career , her desertion of her father her mariagchcr , debutand linal wamlur ing away. This * caused the sister to hcavo a sigl of regret and exclaim : "I had not heart of her history. I do not know of her. Hu she is not here. Wo could not keep her not even to Hfibril her asylum. Wo couh not harbor her , oven if she had been rec omnicudtid b.y ono of our convents it which she might have been educated Our academies arc not intended for sucl purposes. Several weeks a o a mothe : with her two children applied for admis sion , and wo suggested to her to cal upon Hie Franciscan sisters. But she , know , is not the lady you an looking for. The amount o room at our disposal nov would prevent us also from harborim her , because wo havn no more room thai we now require , as wo have now eve ; eighty ( scholars in the building. " "Have any ladies been , recently admitlci from the east ? " "Tho only ladies who have come to xn from the east , have been here since las July. They are young and could not bi mistaken for Mrs. Schilling. Thesi came with recommendations , althougl members of the same family havi been educated by us in OIK way or another for eight year back. These recommendations we always require. No child is admitted to tin acailemy unless recommended , and IK gentleman who comes to us with childrct can induce us to act witli them' until wi ascertain who he is. It would bo im possible for Mrs. Schilling to enter with out being discovered , and I say thu positively and linnly we would not admi any person except under rules , am those would exclude Mrs. Schilling. " The reporter then went to the Pee : Glare convent. There is no boll to tin outer door , and the visitor walks into tin hall without ceremony. On ono of tin bides he finds a bell-pull , and near it ai aperture which is covered by a woodei c5'lindor , which , in revolving upon ai upright pinserves the purpose of a smal door upon hinges. Some locks weri trrncd inside and finally somebod ; knocked within the cylinder and askci what was wanted. The reporter , as i talking against a dead wall , told o whom ho was in quest. Hut there was IK such party there. The convent was o\ elusively for the sisters of the order am nobody was ever permitted , to pass be yond the parlor , nor even hold couvrrs with any of the nuns , except the sn porior and then without beeing her fac nud only upon the most urgen business. The woman behind the woodei drum said that there was fourteen sister in the institution , and this was the sanv number the Convent had had for som months. There was no such person , sli was positive , in the convent. Jf Victoria Morosini Schilling bo ii Omaha , she certainly is not at either o the institutions mentioned , THIS CITY'S WICIUSONIOSS. How it IH Msulo to Knrlcli tlio Muni oipul 1'ouket Uook. "There are just exactly seventeen gan : bling houses that pay a license into Hi oity treasury , " replied Ollicor Tiirnbul to a roporteryostcrday "At this time las year there wore but nine. " "What is the increase duo lo ? " wa naked of him. 'Tartly to the fact that the town i growing larger , and paitly to the fac that u number of ' 'joints" ran fen n long time without paying a Jicon&c bccauso they wore only 'private ' poke rooms. ' Wo have raided these once o twice , and now they tind it more prolll able to coniu up nud pay their iTgula line every month. How muuh is tlni litvif i'J7.55 every month. " This line or licence , or whatever th reader bo pleased to term it , is mud b. the smallest gambling houses in the cit' : IB well as thu largest. It makes no dill'oi cnce , in other words , whether one poke game only is run in the place , or whethe faro , Iccnoroulette or "stud" present con : blued attractions , cacli proprietor i obliged to pay the same lino. Not Ion , ago the police had a custom of assossia u graduated scaleof lines according to th numbw of dealers employed in a place This has been done away with , howovoi the moro simple and easily managed syi tern being substituted in its place. "C course the change is not agreeable to al of the gamblers. Some ot thu fratei nity who own thu smaller place claim that they ought not bo compcllo to pay as heavy lir.u us those establisl meiits which are larger and run lieavie games. Their protits , it is claimed , ar not as large , ami yet they are n scsse in the sumo proportion as the men wh pro making twicu as much money. Thu mnu who sot u this claim , pai ttcularly , are the fellows who run th private pouor rooms. The fact that the secure a good "rake-off" on every gam while not under nearly as heavy e > ponces as the proprietors of the largo establishments , IH considert'd a sutHcien tuibwer to their objection. For th benulit of the uninitiated , It Mioul bo stated that the "rake-off" is percentage which the house secured o every I'luyor's ' profit , When a big gam is in progress , this rake-off amounls ti considerable. All establishments tha "rake-on" " an charge the - percentage" considered regular gambling halls , thi tile game plajed therein ceases to be i "little friendly ono for fun you know , " and the regular lines an levied. In another direction the city's rovcmn has increased the past year. Wherea there are now 178 saloons in the city , las year there were but 1-10. This is an in crease of thirty-two ami represents at increase in revenue of $ ! W,000. Or.ly si : of this number pay the $1,000 license ii ono sum. The others pay quarterly ant scnii-annually , Another and not inconsiderable iten in the revenue is the money paid by tin fallen women of the city. Of these , as Olllccr Turnbiill reports , there are nov about 200. The piopriettes os pay ? 10 i month and Hie girls ? 0. The incoim from this source will be pretty close t < ? ! ,500 this month. IlAlIj NOTCH. A Now Time Clinrt 1'cisonnl niu Oonernl. In thn Union Pacific headquarters , general oral superintendent's ollico , a now tiim chart has just been put up , which by ! peculiar system of pegs and threads , i calculated to show all the trains on ai the divisions of the road , as well as UK running lime thereof. Dlfl'orent coloret banners are placed hero and then to represent the snow sheds am eating houses on the system. Koi banners represent the former ; white ban nurs , ihe latter. The capacity of the dif fercut eating houses is also denoted. The elevator in the Union Pacific head quarters is now running. It is appreciated as a great convenience for the hundreds of clerks who work in the upper stories of tnc building. The strong winds upoivl the pralrio yes' torday morning resulted in a delay to all thu trains. No.2 come in at 10:30 : and the Grand Island rolled in hi two sections , the first nearly on schedule time , ami at 12:10 : o'clock , nearly an hour behind. It is underdcrstood that there is a mu < tual satisfaction on the part of the Union Pacific and Missouri I'acllio road. over the withdrawal of the latter from the depot on Tenth street. One reason assigned for this is the fact that the Union Pacilic hcrcafter.will be without n proximate rival for its Kansas Citj business. The Missouri Pacific runs to the same place , and in a more direct manner , so much so that the majority of the pco ple.who traveled to the Missouri lowi ] generally went by way of the Missouri Pacilic. To leave from the Union Pacilic depot and still patronize a rival line , wa : galling indeed. Now , however , the Missouri Pacilic is witli a line witli whicl : it. can in no measure be considered p rival. It Is removed from the accidental benefit which certainly resulted as a con sequence of its intimacy with the Unior Pacific and now , the latter corporatior will bo enabled to profit by the removal The evening trains both from the casi and the west were somewhat dolayrdby the wind and cold. Train No. 4 fron : tnc west on the Union Pacilic , duo ai 5:20 : , did not arrive until C:20 : , being ar hour and ten minutes late. Train No. ] did not leave for the west until 0:20 : last evening , bem" over an hour late , causci by delays on the road from Chicago. Colonel K. W.

Ii reality according to his own story , ho win the victim of a lovers' quarrel which ough never to have been brought into polici court. Smith , it seems , has been engagci to n young lady resident on Saumlcr : street. Monday night the girl displayed i letter which bore strong evidence of hav ing been written by a masculine hand 1 his aroused in Smith's breast minglei1 feelings of curiosity and jealousy , and he demanded that the letter be shown to him The lady refused. Smith tried to teai the letter from her. She skipped nimblj away and turned a deaf car to his coax ing and threats. She swore that slit would dctciid the letter with her life A violent quarrel ensued , which rcsultcil in the girl's taking the engagement rinc oil'her linger and throwing it in Smith' . ' face. One after another she showered al him the trinkets which her lover had be slowed upon her , vowing to have noth inn more to do. Learing that Smith might in his anger , harm the girl , ono of the occupants called the police and had him arrested. Upon hearing the story .ludiu Stenberg dismissed the prisoner , with the remark that thn police court was no place for lovers to settle their quarrels.

FOUG1NG 1-I3NS1ON 1'APliKS. An Oil ! Soldier firing Tried for Thnl Crime. In United the States court j-estordaj morning , the trial of H. C. Griffiths , foi forging pension papers for ono Joseph 11 , Hughes , was commenced. Griffiths is an old soldier and has lost both legs. This fact entitles him to a good deal of sym pathy. "Wo have got a dead sure case against him , " said District Attorney Lambortson yesterday. "Tho only thing that can possibly save him is the fact lie lost both legs in the late war ? " It is claimed that in 1883 , Grilllths went to Hughes and offered to procure him a pension if lie would allow him ( Griffiths ) to draw up the papers. The affidavit was accordingly drawn up , and in the presence of the county clerk was sighcil by a man who claimed to bo Dr. N. W , Chamberlain , assistant surgeon of the Thirteenth Indiana regiment. This man , it is claimed , was either Griffiths or a confederate of his. The forgery was a bungling ono and was patent on iho face of if. Hughes , the man b.y whom the pensior was to bo drawn , was tried , for compli city in the crime , convicted and seiv tonccd to three months in jail. His term to tiso his own words while testifying to dav , lie served like a little man. Patrick MoNultv , who is charged witl : breaking open a United States mail-bo > at Lincoln , was brought into court to day. He plead guilty. His only defence was that ho was drunk at the lime tin offense was committed. Clipping Horses. To the Editor of the BEE : The theory of clipping , which is announced as a dc fonse to the "suggestions" of the ox ceutivo committee 01 the Nebraski Humane society by the writer siguiiif himself "Horseman" may bo plausible when horses are subjected to hard driv ing , but his original announcement was ono calculated to induce owners o liorsps for family and ordinary uses t ( have their horses clipped also , which , ii it was done , would to our mind , be a mos cruel treatment. As representatives "of the Nebrask : State Humane society for the prcvenlioi of cruelty to animals , wo propose franKl ; and fearlessly , without prejudice o malice or a desire to infringe upon an ; one's rights or privileges or any wish t ( render ourselves meddlesome or ob noxious , to call attention to such acts ai appear to us to give discomfort to tin dumb animals , whoso usefulness am fidelity to mankind have been for age o xemplilied and whoso mute appeal ti man's sympathy for a little considcra tion has been so long ignored. Wo an conscientious and honest in pur inten tions and have no notion in view but tin comfort of the poor beasts whoso tnlvo cates wo are , uut wo will do our dutj oven at the risk of becoming unpopulai with those who do not fully appreciate the noble objects and the future benefit ! morally to our citi/.cns that will accrue from a popular support of a society which is destined to become an "institn tion" of 3'our own. "Horseman" offers as an argumen "that God docs not give us horses witl hlioes on , " neither docs He semi mai into the world with clothing ; on. Hi does , however , give to the horse a coa of hair anil increases that coat as tin weather becomes colder. Ho also pro vidcsthe horse with bushy tail and mam to brush away Hies , and no specious ar giiment can convince a humane mat that the horse is moro comfortable ii winter with the coat clipped or bettc : pleased to have its mane and tail cut ol bi-caiiHo a "bob-tail nag" may tieklu tin fancy of the thoughtless owner ; and i "Horseman has lived forty-live years hi knows that thirty years ago "bob-tailed1 horses wcro "all the fashion. " Our object is not to induce nowspapoi controversy or engender unpleasant feel ings , but to correct errors when , in oin honest judgment , basi'd upon oxpcricnci ami a carutul investigation of the matter wo discover them. Wo realize that the press is the mos valuable medium through which to react the public , and so long as the courtesy h extended to us wubhali avail ourselves o U , not to niiiko personal allusions orgivi annovanco , but as an educator only , am in doing this wu do not wish to bo mis undcrbtood. Our object should bo urn : will bo yours , ami wo expect the counte auco , endorsement and support of al good citi/pns. The Humane society is i moral educator , a humanizer , and at such will help to make good citi/.ohs. "Horseman's" experience mayjustifj Ids assertion regarding ; the clipping ol horses that must bo "ilrlvon hard" am : in thus specifying ho admits E. Converse that the clipping of horses in gunura at this season of the year would bo cruc and injurious , Wo are sorry wo do no know "Horseman" and wouhl rather hi had confessed his identity as wo have am shall continue to do for wu aru satislict from the tenor of his article that hu is : well meaning man , a humane man , and i man from whoso experience we mlgh gather some useful hints that might be valuable to our society , and wu are in clined to think tliat his entliiisiabm foi thu "American Patent Clipper" may liavi induced his warm defense of the rlippiiu referred to. Wo also know that tlii affection which thn firemen have fortheii horses wouhl make it dangerous for air ono to harm or even render iincomfort abht ono of the noble and intelligent am mats that belong to thu tire department Some years the over-head check lim was introduced and extensively used al over the country , as u means of givinj additional style and beauty to the hois < and thousands of noble , generous tun k'md-ueirrteu1 ueu allowed the over-boat check line on their horscs.Sgnorant of th crue'lty rtnd injury tins barbarous contrivance trivanco was inmctlug upon the pee beast. So soon tn they wore informed b' those who made this matter a study , an ! informed through the columns of tin press , no humane man could bo indued again to permit the use of the over-lieae check lino.
