Two Girls nt the llitcklnglinin An- oilier CtiiiptRr on tlio Hardy CIIMC Chnrtoi * Amend * inciKK-Otlicrljocnl. ISnllrnnd Went her Service. A reporter for the Hr.i ; yesterday called tipnn Lieutenant Joseph It. Powell , the nowlyiipolntcil ] ) imlicntlon olllecr of the Union I'aclllo signal service system , for the purpose of luiirninc something tibotit the now schema. "I have been very busy for the past two or three days , " said Lleiitnnunt Powell , "geltinjr ready for the practical work of predicting weather , In the first phtce , I have had to take each one of the thirty or moru stations which we have established and liuure out the constant numbers which tulded to each barometer observation will reduce it to the standard of the sea level. This Is for the sake of renter convenience in innklni ; up my predictions. Then L have had to de termine the latitude and longitude of each fetation. All this may i ( 'quire a good deal of time , but hns to bo per formed before the system can be put into ' . ' practical operation' "What btations tlo you propose to es- tablishf" "There will be thirty-three stations in nil , " said the lieutenant. "Seven will bo known as first class , ten as second class , and sixteen as third class. The first class stations will be equipped with standard barometers , hygrometers , thermometers , anemometers , rain ami .snow cuages , and wind-vanes. The second class will have thermometers , hygrometers , anemome ters , snow guage.s and wind-vanes , while the third class .stations will have only thermometers , hygrometers , rain and HIIOW gnagcs and wind-vanes. The names of the stations are as follows : First Class Omaha , Kansas City , Den ver , Cheyenne , Ogden , Hnnlinuton , Ore. , und Silver How , ft. T. Second Class lU-ookvillc and Wallace , Kan , , Kearney and Ogalalla.Nob. , Como , Col. , Kawllns and Green HiverVyo. . , Pocutollo and Medbury , Idaho , Spring Hill , M. T. Third Class Wamcgo and Ellis , Kan. , Hugo and ( Hunnison , Kan. , Beatrice , Colujubus , Maxwell und Sidney , Neb. . La Sallo , Col. , Laramic , Tinton nml Kvanston , AVyo. , Montnolier , Shoshone , Caldwell and Comas. Idaho. "It will require about one month to have everything running smoothly , " continued Lieut. Powell. "As soon"as the instruments arrive , they will bo sent out over theioadand put in place. Then 1 shall have three sergeants as my assist ants who will bo sent over the uifl'ercnl parts of Hie Union Pacific system to in struct the employes in the use of the in struments. 1 do not think that they will require more than twenty-four hours at each station for this work. The use of the instruments is not hard to learn. "Until these stations are regularly equipped and the observers perfectly in structed , I shall niiikc up a set of predic tions each day Irom the regular signal service reports from dillercnt points. The Union Pacific is especially anvious , as cold weather seems to bo setting in for good , to have thcso predictions made and i am coins to accommodate thorn to the best of my ability. " ' How often will you make out these mdicationsv" "Twice a day , I think , is sufficient. Say at 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning and nbout the sai.no time in the afternoon. This will giye the ollicials ample time be fore the trains start in the afternoon and morning to make may changes which im pending changes in the weather may ne cessitate. These indications will be made from twenty-four to forty-eight hours be forehand. It is just as easy to make them ono way ns another. They will bo couched in specific language , and not in meaningless general terms. I'or instance , one indication will predict in a certain division cold weather with snow , the wind being from the north and blowing at the rate of thirty miles an hour. Tills wjll be followed by warmer weather , the wind changing to a southerly direction. I have about madoup my mind to pre dict the weather by the divisions Hint tire already marked out by the ollicials of the road. Another plan which 1 had thought 6omo of adopting was to predict the weather at each signal station. I want to study ( lie past records , for another thing , and find outat just what points the wor.st snowdrifts most frequently occur. Careful .study on this point will aid mo in making up my predictions and enable mete to tell pretty nearly whore MIOW blockades are liable to occur. Of course , all this will require time ami patience.us the pre dictions must cover a vast territory , vi/ , : Nebraska , Wyoming , Colorado , Utati , Idaho , Oregon and Kansas. " "What is to bo the practical benefits of the M'hcmc ? " "Well , there arc a good many of them. Fir.it and foremost an accurate and com prehensive weather service will enable the Union Pacific to save thousands of dollars every week to Us'patrons. Jf storms can DO accurately predicted be forehand the stoi'Kinnn can withhold their shipments and allow cattle to bo sent through without dangerof perish ing by being caught in blockades or bliz zards. Why , ono prominent cattleman asMirod mo the other day that such a nys- tern of predictions , if accurate , would bo the mean.s of saving him fno.OOU every year. The inauguration of such a system shows not only a.spirit of rare enterprise on the part of the Union Pacific , but an appreciation of ( lie interests of its natrons which is highly commendable. There is little doubt but that this Bclii-mo , if it jtrovos successful , will work a revolution in tlio railway trallio of the country and that thesti predictions will rival those of the government signal iervlco. You BCO tlmy cannot fall to bo of interest not only to the railway company and its patrons , but to the farmers and people in general as well. " "Do you bollovo that other roads will soon follow the Union Paeiliu hi this new departure ? " -"Most assuredly I do , The Northwest ern und the Northern Pacific are already talking of doing so. It won't bo long before - fore the practical benefits of this idiomo will become apparent and the other roads will be forced to adopt the same thiug. The Union Pacific adopted n Jong-lmadi'd policy in Doing the first to put into operation a signal service of its own. In my opinion it is only a question of time before the other road * will have to full into Hno , The interests of their pairon * will ueiiinnit ii-n ; A TI11KT1MX-YKAH-OL1 : > RKIDK. Aiiolliov lutcrr&thiK Chapter iu the Jlardy Cnt > o. Mention was made in the In ! : of Satur day of the case of Mr. and Mr.s.

Yesterday the mother of Mrs. Iliiii'v ' , a JUw. iliuUftlioJivca pa Nivhohts ttrcet , and who had rend the account in tlicIUr. : called upon her daughter. To a polic , ollicer whom alia met upon coming out , Mrs. Hind told n story which makes the case all the more an interesting one , She said Hint Mrs. Hardy , her daujrhlcr , was but 10 years old , though the mother of two children , She had been abducted by Hardy when she was a school girl in short dresscs.only thirteen years of ape. Mr. and Mrs.Hlnd were then living near Ogdcn , Utah. Hardy , who was at that time working at his trade in Utah , called at her house and took the girl out ostensibly for a l.orsebppk ride. He never relumed with her , and when the mother and father , two or three years later , heard from their d.uichtcr , she was then the wife of Hardy. Tor some time past Hardy and Ins wife have been living in Omaha In destitute circumstances , the husband spending almost every cent ho earned on whiskey. Mrs. Kind says that she has done everything in her power la induce her daughter to leave her.hus- . band , to no avail. She still clings to him , hoping that ho may reform. A M2I3 12I ) INS1'ITUTION. A Home In Onmlia I'or l nllvn Women. Mention has already been made in the DTK of the fact that the subject of estab lishing a home for fallen women In this city was being extensively agitated. The Buckingham homo on Twelfth street is now used for this purpose , but affords quarters entirely too small for the work which is to bo carried on. Apropos of this subject Mrs. G. W. Clark of the Buckingham homo is send ing out the following circular : "IH'rKixtiiiAM HOMI : , " 12th street , Onmha , Neb. . Nov. 28 , 1SMI.

The petition referred to reads as fol lows : "To the senate and house ot representatives : The Incieasing and alarming liccitiency of assaults upon women , und tha frightful in dignities to which even little girls are subject , have become the shame of our boasted civili zation. A study of the statutes has revealed their utter failure to meet the demands of that newly awakened public sentiment which re quires better lejrnl protection for woman hood and girlhood. Therefore , wo the men and women of - . state of Nebraska , do most earnesly appeal to you to enact such statutes as shall provide vide- for tlio adequate punishment ot crimes against women and girls. Wo also urge that the nge lit which a girl can legally consent to her own inln bo raised to at least eighteen years ; and we call attention to the dis'-Macc- ta ! fact that protection of the poison is not placed by om laws uuon ( > o high a plane as protection of the AMHUGllT'S The ni-tHCHt Kcnl Estate Deal of the Season. Mr. W. fi. Albright' , who made himself famous nnd n great many competitors envious by his unnrccodentc-dly success- lul management of the placing on the market , advertising and sale of "Al bright's Annex" in South Omaha , has just completed the purchase of the Christ Sautter farm , adjoining the "Annex. " This farm comprises about 230 acres , and has been purchased by this enterprising real estate man tor the vast sum of nearly $70.000 , making the largest sintrlo rc.il estate transaction in Omaha this year. The land is ono of the most beau tiful tracts ever placed on the market , extending ciut to the U. & M. tracks , with the main line of the U. 1' . running through it ; adjoins the "annex" on the cast nnd Boutli , and is by all odds the most available for .subdividing into lots , acres or larger tracts for manufacturing purposes. I'ollco Court. James Smith , a colored man employed in a restaurant , was lined $18 and costs in tlui'policG court yesterday morning , for assaulting James McCuo , the proprietor of the place. IMcCuc , it scums , had to Smith rather sharply about wasting the sugar , nnd the latter had answered with blows. To give emphasis to the assault , ho smashed n basket of eggs. Nine unimportant cases of drunks nnd di.itnrbors of the peucu were disposed of. Mollic llonso , a delinquent woman of the town , was sent to jail to serve out her fine. Ilcnioillcf ) Tor Social 1'rolilcnis. The social inequalities of these times arc many and of various degrees.

Yesterday morning a tough.looking cus tomer named Jlartncy , was brought to the county jail from the block-yards. Ho had boon put under $ SOO bail by Justice O'Connell at that , plaeo. He had gotten into tin altercation with a colored man and used his knife on the latter with so much violence as to slash linn with con siderable danger to his life.

MAKING A CHAHTISIt. Work Done by the Joint Committee on Amendments. .Atllio meeting of the committee on the amendment of the charter , Monday tlio city attorney was requested to draft a resolution for insertion in the charter providing for the removal from ofilce , for cause , of the mayor or any other oflicor , byjtho judcgc of the supreme court silting as a court of impeachment. A resolution was introduced by ? Mr. t'roighlon , providing "that the nw char ter shall contain a provision tht in fall changes of grade thn damages resulting shall bo assessed against the property benellttcd by such change. ANo that damages resulting from the opening , widening or oxtcndliiE of tiny street , or .avenue , or alloy shall bo assessed againit the properly benefited by such opening , widening or ovtending. The resolution was adopted. The provision that coupons on any bonds of the city shall be received for any tax or asso-smoiit , except for ta\cs levied for school and paving purposes , was stricken out. The pint of the section pro viding for the payment of the taxes in warrants of the city was also stricken out. City Attorney Council asked that section ? ( l be taken up again , as Mr. Pop. plelon would not be present nt the next meeting , nml ho wanted that gentle man's opiiiion upon a proposed amend ment providing that railroad companies should bo required to pay a municipal tax. Mr. Poppleton objected , on the ground that this would bo double tiua- tion upon the roads. Mr. Creighton sng- gestad that all property not assessed by tlio state board should bo taxed. Mr. Council said that under the State appor tionment the county did not receive jus- tico. Ho thought his proposed amend ment was the most important ono yet ollercd. Mr. Council said ho also proposed ottering nn amendment changing the fiscal year from July 1 to January 1 , and the municipal year from April 1 to January 1 , and holding the election in the fall hi- btcad of the spring. Ho stated that Kn- gincor Rosewater favored the change , for tlio reason that under the present plan plan public improvements are not com menced until so late in the year that de sired progress cannot bo made. A reso lution by Mr. Lee , favoring the change and lixing the date of the election the first Monday in December , was adopted by a vote of 5 to 4. The sections 75 ! nml 71 were read and passed. . nUUMING PRA1HIE GH.VSS. What Col. Hall Says About Fort Du Chcsnc and the Indlaiif ) . Colonel Hall , the inspector of army posts , who has returned from a twelve ( lays' western trip , reports that at Fort Du Chcsno , the newly established post in Utah , the contractors are busy at work putting up tlio buildings for ollicors and men. Some of these buildings are being constructed of adobe ( sunburnt clay brick. ) others of frame. At present the officers ami men are living in floored tents and are living as comfort- nb'e ' as possible under the circumstances. The new quarters will be ready about the first of the year. The Ute Indians in thrt alace , Col onel Hall says , arc not all pleased witli tlio establishment of the post in that lo cality , as it has a decided tendency to prevent their foraging excursions. They have taken no pains to conceal their malice. The latest manifestation of this occurred the other day when the Indians set fire to the grass about the saw-mill , some thirty miles from the post , so that the soldiers who were at worK there could not graze their horses. The establishment of the post , on the other hand , has given great satisfaction to the settlers in that part of the state , who have heretofore been afraid of the Indians. The nearest rail road station is Price , about 85 miles dis tant. There is some talk of extending tlio Colorado Midland down the Du Chcsno river. Jf this plan was carried out the post would bo only twelve miles from a railroad. General Terry , the commander of this division , will bo in Omaha to-day with his Colonnl Towles aide-de-camp , , en route from Salt Lake to Chicago. TII13 FESTIVE HOMIER. Two YOUIIK Girls Who Ascriho Their Uuiu to the Skating Uinks. "Thero are two young girls hero who have just been rescued from houses of shame , " said a ladj * connected with tlio Buckingham homo to a reporter yestcr- dayi"who'ascribe their ruin to the skating rinks. Both of them wore led astray by men whom they mot in these places. " One of those girlj was brought to the homo yesterday. Her parents live in Council Blnil's and are said to be respect ed , well-to-do people. The young woman has a sad history. Siio was ruined in Council Bin Us ami brought over to Omaha by her betrayer , a man named Allen , who promised her that ho would marry her. She was taken sick shortly after being brought hero. Allen , instead of bavin" her taken to a liosnital , had her carried to 'Trench Emma's , " a house of ill , fame on Twelfth street , between Capitol avenue and Dodico. Hero she was placed under a doctor's care and rapidly grew bettor. Realizing her situation she begged to betaken taken out of the place. "Francli Emma" .who is really not a bad hearted woman , reported the case to Mrs. Clark , of the Buckingham home , remarking to that lady with n shrug of her shoulders : "I don't boleaf scat leotle child will of or lead 7.0 bad lifo. " Tlio girl was promptly res cued and will either bo found a place to work in this city or bo sent to her homo. She cric.s Incessantly , scorning to realize bitterly her degradation. Her compan ion , who nl.io comes from Council IJIuH's , will bo properly takoir care of. KUM.I BU'lTER. How the SliilV is ISoIni : Handled liy I Retailers. Yesterday morning a Bin : reporter made a visit to a leading grocery store to sucrtnin in what manner the lucent law regarding the sale of oleomargarine is be ing carried on. He was shown a firkin , winch contained the dyspeptic-looking substitute for butter , the contents of which were fashioned into small balls covered with n greasy Him of paper. The lid of the ferkin was labeled oleo margarine and showed the number of pounds contained iu the tub. A small paper bag was also shown , la belled oleomargarine , also , nml was so printed as to enable the marking of the number of pounds it might be made to pontnin. When the stun" is sold iu less than pound parcels , it is placed in a small tray , upon the side of which the salesman stumps the features already al luded to , "Whop wo are asked for butter , by a customer , " said the clerk , "we usk in turn whether oleomargarine or cream butter is required. The customer gets what ho asks for , and no attempt is made to deceive him. The former sells for about twenty cents per pound , and cream butter brings us on the average about five cents moro. There tire grades of butter , however , which are much dearer , sometimes costin * ' a ? much us fifteen cents per pound. We ell more. ' oleomargarine tlum wo < to farmers' but ter , because it is much butter and cheaper. The reason of this is .because tlio farmers do not know how to inako butter. Our o { ttiv objectiouiiblti article vcath ou , nn average of about one hundred pounds per day. " Inquiry was also made nt the olllco of the internal revenue collector , Mr. Cnl- hoitn. That gentleman was not present , but the reporter met Mr. H. A. Doud , tbo chief clerk of the olllcc and the gentleman whoso special duty is to look alter the en forcement tif the law relating to the sale of oleomargarine. Ho slated that the ofllco had already granted licenses to twenty-six Jirms to sell the atufV , and ot tlic. o three resided outside the city. In view of the fact that there are several hundred grocers in this city , all of whom must sell butter of this kind , the fcv ; licensed sellers of oleomargarine struck the reporter as being remarkable , more espooially so as ft is almost impos sible to purchase butter which does not in a great degree savor of adulteration. An impression prevails that the fewness of liccn cd grocers is duo to the fact that many of them buy alleged butter from farmers , who purchase oleomargarine from jobbers and work it over so as to make it tippenr the product of their dairy. Steps are now being taken to as certain the truth of this impression , and in the event of becoming apparent some of these sharp dealers will bo called into a stern account. Tlio reporter was shown a sample of creamery butter , which had been sent to the olllco for analysis. It smelled like lard , and was clearly an adulteration. One of ( ho employes of the government , it is stated , was waicldnir the Institution with a view to unearth the fraud which , it seemed evident , was being perpetrated. Mr Calhoun's ollic'oisnot yet equipped with instruments or other means of accu rately determining counterfeit butter when presented , but it was expected that before long the defect would be remedied.

The Br.r. some weeks ago outlined tiio plan suggested by the government inspectors specters to bo used in the postoflico for tlio disti ibution of mail on Sundays. The plan was put into practice for tlio lirst time on Sunday last , when the lobby mis crowded with people. It was now to most of them , and many went away dissatisfied. The carriers too , were strange to it , and did not do as well as the people desired. Yet , they got through with a largo mail in quicker time than they ever did be fore. Tills , however , was mainly due to the fact that an inside rack iiad been taken out of the way , leaving plenty of room for tlio men to go immediately to and return from their desks. The result of the showing ot the lirst day s trial was not as satisfactory as could have bcon desired - sired , but it is expected that it will give moro satiofnt'lion according as its fea tures become known. nisi riot Court.
