Sunday Sport.
A quiet cocking innin took plnco Sun
day afternoon iit a well known resort
in the western suburbs of the city , A
number of good biufk were pitted mill an
ntturnoon of rare sport was enjoyed by
tlio thirty or forty congenial spirits
which were K.itliorcd tliero.
The pit was in tlio front room of n
small building boniK marked out by a
width of canvas stretched in a circle
around iron pins braced in the lloor.
The first match was between a black-
red and a white bird. The latter was
under great disadvantage , both in weight
and science , though ho appeared to poa-
SCHS a fair amount of pluck. During the
lirst few moments ho made several sav
age "llys" at his opponent , ami succeeded
in gashing Ms head severely. Several
times ho knocked him down , but each
time he fulled to take the
opportunity to drive his steel spurs
through thu other bird's head. The black-
rod on the other hand look cvury chance
to use his spurs and made several savage
attacks. At the end of ten minutes the
white bird's head was badly mangled and
covered with blood , and tliouirh the other
cock was also severely cut , he was still
"gamoy" and ready to light. Kinally thu
white backed down and refused to liirlit
nny more. Several times las handler
urged him on , but each time he hung his
head and positively refused to enter into
further combat , lie was finally taken out
of the pit , the other bird being declared
the winner. Very little money changed
hands on the event , : is it was evident
from tliu start that thu black red had thu
best of it.
The next fight was between a big red
pylo and a small "stag. " The agreement
was that the red pylo was to Kill two
"stags , " one after the other. His lirst op
ponent was a very small bird , which in
consideration of its inferior size was al
lowed spurs of double length , The two
cocks were thrown together by the hand
lers anil the result was a complete
surprise to all. The big bird made a sav
age fly at his opponent and was met sav
agely with a thrust , which though
vicious , missed its mark. The two birds
then searatcd , glared savagely at each
other and made another lly.
This time the big bird Hew
over the other ono and in lighting
on the lloor broke his leg , which had boon
injured in a previous contest. Ho rolled
over on his back and continued to kick
at his small antagonist. Thu latter
quickly disposed of the broken-logged
hero by two sharp thrusts , driving the
stcul spurs clear through his head both
* times. So that the "big'in1' so tar from
killing the two small birds , was "laid
out" himself by the lirst of his opponents.
The main was closed by a short and
sharp contest between two black and red
Blags , in which the smaller ot the two
was ingioriously defeated.
DESTITUTE IN DID ED.
A Young Couple and Their Story of
Misfortune ,
Friday morning a young couple with
an infant child applied to Secretary Joplin -
lin , of the Young Mens' Christuin asso
ciation for aid. They seemed to bo desti
tute , and the secretary gave thun an
order on the Buckingham. The ladies of
the homo interested themselves in the
matter and did all they could for the un
fortunate family. There was a mystery
surrounding the affair. The clothing
worn by the parents and the babe was of
finer quality than that usually tound on
people lu a like condition. Upon inquiry
it was developed that there was some
thing of a story connected with thcirvisit
hero. The lady told the story how she
had married against the wishes of her
parents. Her home was in Minnesota ,
and her parents were rich. They had
chosen a wealthy husband for her , but
she had sot her alleetions upon another.
Her choice happened to rest upon
a railroad man whoso income
did not exceed § 75 per month ,
a mere pittance in the ayes of her father
and mother. At any rate shu braved the
wrath of her parents and married him.
They went to California. Ho , having a
little spare money , took an interest in a
patent article of some sort. It
proved n disastrous investment for him.
After meeting with iailuro and dis
couragement on all sides , the conplu
started back to Minnesota. Jiotivuon
hero and California the babe was born
on the train. Shortly afterwards the
mother was taken so ill that they were
compelled to stop oft' iu a town in this
state. During thu live or six months thu
mother was confined to her bed. Their
supply of money was exhausted , but for
tunately tliuy were among people who
did all In their power to help them. They
arrived in Umaha with no clothing
save what they had on. The
rest had been pawned. Upon learning
the circumstances thu ladies of the Buck
ingham ottered to furnish transportation
for the lady , and Air. Nash , of thu
Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul , agreed
to ito thu hamo for the man , and send
thorn to their parents. Thereupon the
lady earnestly bogged that > > ho might bo
allowi-d to remain heru. Shu would do
anything riruicr than face her father and
mother again , Her husband has smnirod
a position in thu city , and through the
Buckingham ladies' assistance the wifu
is now stopping in a private family ,
where she will receive the best of atten
tion.
LONG'S
They nro not Strongly lu Fftvor of the
JlcportoCtlio Sanitary Committee.
K , K , Long , of the school board , was yes
terday morning asked by a HKK reporter
what the board of education would do
with the report of thu committee on sanl
tation recently published in thesu col.
limns. "W u will give it" ho said , "somo
attention , I suppose , bccauso , if the com-
milieu had not been appointed and re
ported , you ropoiters would not
have so much to do , I had
nothing to do with the appointment
of the committee , though I suppose the
report of the committee nuiy bo product
ive of 6omo good. We will , ( ironically )
Isnpposu , now commence in the north
ern part of the city and tear down all the
sehocls , to the southern limits , to get
structures which will satisfy this
committee. To n .siir.iu that
there is not onu class room
in the schools of this city which is prop
erly ventilated is the greatest kind of
humbug. Dr. Parker was on that com
mittee , utitl booauso ho failed of renomi-
nation to the board , ho has seized this
opportunity to vent his sjileeu against
thu board , and rot wlieji lie jvas a mem
ber of our body , he htul something to do
with erecting soulu of those buildings.
Tliero was an architect on thu committee
ttiid his recommendation was that thy
board should appoint an architect to Io6k
after the erection of Its buildings. ' '
"Well , there is Jenkins , " said the re
porter , "what about him } "
"He is boiler inspector , " said Mr.
Long , "and he recommended that the
furnaces bo thrown out and the schools
\i \ heated by steam. That would require
boilers and would give him so many
more boilers to inspect.
TOO MUCH COMPETITION.
The Failure of Wllllnni Nelson , Cloth
ing Merchant.
William Nelson , the clothing merchant
doing business at 1012 I'arnam street , yes-
day made an assignment of his stock to
Sheriff Coburn for the benefit of credit
ors. The liabilities of the linn arc placed
at $8,000 , which amount Is about covered
by the assets. Mr Nelson's hcavirst
creditors are Kuppcnmoycr & C. , of Chicago
cage , to whom no owes about iJ,000. !
Small claims against him are also held by
clothing jobbers in St. Louis , Rochester ,
Detroit , ( iraml Island. Mich. , and Cedar
Hapids , la. Mr. Ncf on has been in
business in Omaha for several years and
is considered a vety reliable , straightfor
ward business man. His failure is at
tributed to his inability to meet the com
petition and low prices that have marked
the clothing trade during the past season.
Kotiirncd I loin P.
Dr. S. J. Chambers. Omaha's favorite
veterinarian , and wife returned Sunday
evening from a Hying visit to old Kug-
land. They left this city December lit ,
and the actual lime consumed in land and
water travel was twenty days ami twelve
hours , an avcrago of twenty miles an
hour. They sailed on the Umbria and
returned on the same stnamcr. Dr. and
Mrs. Chambers wont to Bromyard , Here
fordshire , Kngland , the former's birth
place. Ho loft there eighteen years ago
a young stripling and when ho returned
an extra heavy weight thn townsfolk
looked upon him as a curiosity. Kvi-
dcutly they got a good opinion of the
climate and provender of Nebraska , for
Doctor Chambers is a pretty healthy
specimen. "My , ain't ho a whopperl"
was the expression that greeted the
American everywhere. Doctor Cham
bers wishes it distinctly understood that
he is a thorough Yankee now. This last
trip home has knocked all the English
ideas out of him ,
A MystcrloiiH Couple.
Last Saturday night a young man and
woman rented a room in Mrs. Glisho'a
house on the corner of Fourteenth and
Jackson streets. They pretended to bo
husband and wife. Sunday it was dis
covered that they wcru not entitled to
bear either of those titles , by a conversa
tion which was overheard in which
thu man importuned the female to marry
him. but without success. They were ac
cordingly driven from the houso. Later
the woman sought possession of a
trunk , which was refused by Mrs. Glisho
because it had been brought to licr house
by the man. The girl then , under the
name of Ilattio Hall , rcplcvincd tliu trunk
and Constable King secured it anil con
tents , but is holding it subject to later de
velopments. It is thought the couple arc
u runaway pair from Fremont.
The Coon-Skin Man.
Detective Moynlhan has received a let
ter from Chief Detective Hankmson , of
Minneapolis , stating that Werner , the
conlidenco fraud , who caught Peter
Gees , of this city , napping a few days
ago , left that city for this place , but the' '
only thing ho secured there wnsthc coonskin -
skin coat in which ho appeared like a
polar bear when walking around the
streets of Omaha. He went from this
city to Cincinnati , whom ho is known to
have worked a firm out of $ 1GO. The fol
low seems to have a great deal of gall ,
but will doubtless be caught before many
days.

Thn Elks' Hall.
The Elks' ball , which is to take place on
the seventh of February next , promises
to be the most select and enjoyable affair
of the kind ever known hero. The num

that there will not bo a jam , and especial
euro will bo taken to admit only persons
of irreproachable charactor. The entire
first lloor of the Millard will be given up
to the entertainment. It is probable that
thu new addition to the dining room will
be ready in time to bo used , in which
event the dancing area will bo a magnifi
cent ono.

THE CUMiOM BILK
AYh.it a nallroatl Mnu Hns to S y
About It.
Traffic Manager Thomas L. Klmball ,
of the Union Pacific , who has just re
turned from the Colorado pool meeting
in Chicago , said yesterday to a reporter
that the inter-state pools , which would bo
doiio away with by the Cullom bill , would
remain In existence for the next si\ty
years , At the expiration of that time the
bill would become a law.
"What do you think of the bill ? " was
asked of him.
"J think , " ho replied , "that it is a good
one in the main. Some of its provisions
I am heartily in favor of. Its successful
working all depends upon whether the
commission which is deputed to carry it
properly recognize the duties which rest
upon them whether they adjust the pro
visions of the law to circumstances.
For instance , a provision which
might bo properly and equit
ably enforced In ono case would work a
grovlous hardship in another.
"Tako that clause which provides in
general that the charge for a short haul
shall not bo greater than that for a long
one. In some eases that will work very
well. In other instances it will not.
Take for example the long haul between
New York and San Francisco. The
sailing vessels , let us suppose , can carry
freight from New York to San Fraueiseo
for say TJ cents a hundred. Jl is easier
to get up wind than it is to cot up htoiini ,
and tliu vessel can afford to maku a lower
rate than would bo really profitable to
the railroad. But Id us suppose that the
railroad to meet competition puts its rate
at the same figure. Tlieru is very little
or no money in such business , but wo
will suppose that that rate is made. Now
take a point midway between New York
and Fsisco. According to the strict ap
plication of the clause I refer to the rate
from that point to Now York would have
to bo much lower than the rate to Frisco.
But to transfer the freight from New
York to that point by water would make
a rate of ? . "i cents plus the rate from San
Francisco to the inland noint , which , let
us suppose , is fiO cento. This would make
the water rate $1.35 per hundred , while
the railroad rate would bo something less
than To cents. This of course would bo
highly unprofitable for the railroad.
"There is ono thing very evident. " ho
concluded , "and that is that ii thu
short haul rates are gauged by thu long
haul scalu. long haul rates must bo forced
up to make business at all profitable. In
the casu of the Union Pacific 10 per cent
of its business is Pacific coast trallic ,
which is done at low rates in order to
compete with the water routes. If the HO
per cent balance of business with intermediate -
mediate points lias to bo scaled to suit the
rate to the Pacific coast it will , as you can
easily see , almost totally destroy the prof
its of our trallic. "
SLiEEI'INO OAR KATES.
Change li\ Scat Unto ? A Pullman
Olllcinl Talks.
Among thu bills introduced in the leg
islature is one the object of which is to
compel Pullman car companies to charge
not moru than $1 a berth in carrying pas
sengers in the state of Nebraska , Al
most simultaneously with the introduc
tion of the measure the Pullman com
pany made a sweeping reduction in scat
rates between Omaha and Ogden , but no
change m the charge for berths. For
merly the scat rate from Omaha to
Fremont was CO cents. The present rate
to Columbus and Schuyler is now 50
cents , reduced from thu former prices of
75 cents and 70 cents respectively. Other
changes in rates between hero and
Ogclen are in about the same proportion.
In speaking of the matter to a Bni :
man last evening , Mr. Patterson , of the
Pullman company , said : "Tho bill in
reference to the charge for berths intro
duced in the legislature is a mcasuro
which aught not to and probably will not
pass. The company could not possibly
afford to sell berths for if 1 , as that would
bo equivalent to giving a bed for 50 cents
as frequently two passengers occupy
a berth. Taking into consideration
that the linen lias to bu changed
every day and other troubles and ex
penses , it would bo a losing transaction.
The public , too , would feel the bad effects
of the law , as no decent accommodations
and comforts could bo obtained for the
money. The company c.in , however , and
has made a reduction in its scat rates ,
and as far as I can see the public has no
reason to complain of extravagant
charges by the company. "
"We are trying , " continued Mr. Pallor-
son , "to give thn public the very best
accommodations we can. We have now
six row cars in course of construction in
thu shops in Chicago for use on the Union
Pacific. They will bu ready to run in
about a month , and are finer than any
sleeping cars that have ever been on the
line of the Union Pacific road. All the
latest improvements have been added ,
wo have spared no expense to have them
elegantly lilted. There are already thirty
cars now running on this line. At present
four of thesu cars are in thn .shops in
Omaha being repaired and improved.
High backs and extension head rusts are
being put in , and when thu nuw cars
arrive wu expect that the Union Pacific
will bu equipped with as line sleeping car
accommodations as any line in thu coun
try. "
The porters' fees will remain un
changed. _

AMUSEMENTS.
THU IT.OI'I.U'S.
"Fanehon" was produced last night at
the People's theatre before a large aud
ience , with Miss ticorgle Oilman in the
title role. It was the first appearance of
the lady in this city , and it may be said
that thu impression created by her was a
very favorable ore indeed , bho is young
and pretty , and whilu her rendition of
thttcharaetor mentioned lacks the weird-
ncs ? and intensity of that of others of
more mature ycara who have essayed , it
is invested witli the charmuess , natural-
ucss of girlhood , which is oven moru
grateful than th sUsljed and acquired
ihgeniousncss which uro'sO familiar to all
theatre-goers. Thu ladies of the company
'
are'ulso young and pretty , a'ud uct well.
All the gentlemen acted well , especially
J. W. Goodwin ns handry , and Harry
I-angdon as Didier Bnrtcau , the latter
making ono of the most successful im
personators of that character who have
appeared here. To-night "Carrotts"
will bo played.

FAituit ; itv , Neb. , Jan. 22. [ Correspond
ence of the BIK. : ] Having returned
from Lincoln and had n good night's
sleep , your correspondent feels much
bettor after the defeat. Though con
quered wo know that our cause was just ,
The fight was between the railroads and
the people , and though the cause of the
people was temporarily defeated wo hopu
they will not lese heart. I am a republi
can of the staunchcst kind when party
principles are at issue , and feel that in
hoping anil working for Van Wyck's
election I lost not ono jot or tittle of my
republicanism ,
1 will give you some statistics regard
ing our beautiful little city that may in
terest your readers and introduce us to
jlieni. We havu a population between
3,500 and 9,000 , and are growing very
rapidly. Since the commencement of
work on the Chicago , Hock Island ,
A Pacific , or , as it is known hero ,
the Chicago , Kansas & Nebraska rail
road wu have had a wonderful boom ,
Fully ono third has been added to our
population , wealth and business not esti
mating the increased valuation of real
estate. The last six months havu added
to us two banks , making four in all. an
extension of the iron foundry , which is
now prepared to cast store fronts and
other largo work , two cigar factories
and quitu a number of merchandise and
oilier largo business enterprises. Wo
now have IM manufacturing and mcicli-
undisu establishments and the number is
almost daily being added to. The valu-
tion of property in the city is at least
$ lG35-li.)0 ! ) , calculation being based on
the assessment of 1885. The railroad
business further shows our importance.
For the year 1880 the St. Joe & Grand
Island have shipped from hero 1)50 ) car
loads of grain , stock , llour , etc , , and
3'J 7,400 pounds in less than car lots and
have received 1818 cars and 0U7,3GO !
pounds in less than car loads , and have
received therefor $109,003.23 and for
passenger business $11 , 814.45 , a total
of $12i,8 ; .C3 an increase over 1885
of $38i > 95.10. The new railroad
the Chicago , Kansas & Nebraska have
cxpper.dcd for right of way throvgh the
city $31,1)33 ) , for ground for round-houso
and division buildings $15,000 , and for
construction purposes , including build
ings. $3 1,000 , a total of ? UOUs2. Added to
the cost ot buildings erected in the city
in 1880 , which is $01,000 , we have a total
of $155,51)3 ) , In fact we are well fixed for
everything but hotels , and wo havu live
or six ot them , but we need and must
have one more commensurate with our
advancement. There is a rich bonanza
in this if some man with the money anil
enterprise requisite would take hold of
it. I am giving you no buncomb on the
statistics , for tho.v arc correct and taken
from the report of the board of trade of
Fairbury , collected with much care and ,
as I believe , not exaggerated.
I am truly satisfied that several of our
politicians had a hand in making Pad
dock senator , and Jo. MeD. especially
the senator is under obligations , lie will
surely do something for Fairbury.
