[ Special Telegram to the BKE.J Like the mythical Wanderlns Jew , the democratic sub-cominittoo of live nearly trudged the streets of Chicago trorn morning until nightfall to-day vainly search. Ing for two men who would allow their names to bo placed on the ticket for mayor and treasurer. Certain sarcastic democrats who are Indignant over the muss into which the party has been plunged , think it would boo good plan for the committee of five to draw lots as to which two of their number should retire and allow the lucky throe to take the vacant places on tho. ticket It Is agreed thai Lone Fisherman Allen should retain hi : nomination for the city attornoyshlp because of his remarkable staying powers. Con Kressman Frank Lawlcr was moving heaven and earth all day to secure Harrison's re nomination , and the result of the committee meeting this evening showed that his efforts were Hot In v'am. But Carter squelched nil the fond hopes which had been Indulged In. ' When the nominating committee assembled this evening Cartel Harrison entered the room. After heariiu the commltten's report , which was to tin effect that they could find no ono to champion the cause of democracy. Harrison arose anc for thn third time declined the nomination outright , but before resuming his seat he sniei that If the lepubllcans would withdraw Itocho and put on their ticket Carter llarri son ho would boat Kelson by ao.ouo votes and thus save the city from a socialist mayor , as the papers chose to style him. "You caiino ask Harrison to lead a forlorn hope , " criec the mayor. "When Harrison tuns he runs t < win , but not to elect Mr. Koche. It thi citizens of Chicago , Irrespective of party should say to him to run , ho would do so. ' Harrison tlien taft the room.

AlllUUW lllCi l\TUli \ The Railroad Project Passes Into tlifl Hands of Working Men , THE MILWAUKEE'S BIG DEAL. Tlio Hlvcr's Siuldcn Ilrcak One HIIH- Imml Too Many In the Fluid of Sports Modjoskn Other Ijocnl Omnlift's Ilo ad to the Northwest. The cilbrts that have been put forth in Omaha by boards of trades , commercial clubs , freight bureaus and individual cituons for the past half dozen years , to secure Increased railroad advantages , es pecially with reference to u road to the northwest have materialized in a revival of the Nebraska Central railway scheme and the assurance that it will bo carried out In connection with one of the great trunk Hues that connect Omaha with Chioaeo. The Nebraska Central railway company was reorganized at a meeting held on Wednesday afternoon In the directors' room of the Nebraska National bank. The directors chosen nro : W. A. Paxton , F. Colpolzor , J. C. Cowln L. S. Hill , J. A. McShanc , J. U. Dumont and S. 11. Johnson , the two latter being direc tors of the original company. The officers chosen are : President , W. A. Paxton ; vice president , F. Colpotzcr ; secretary , L. S. Hill. The company was first or ganized In Juno , 188J , John A. Harbach , 11. W. Yatcs , W. J. Uroateh , S. H. John son nnd John A. Creighton being the In- corporators. The authorized capital stock of the roiid was $1,000,000 , of which 10 per cent has been paid in to tlio treasurer , 11. W. Yatcs. A charter was secured at the time for the construction of u bridge across the Missouri at any point between tlio north and south boundaries of Douglas county , andCsomo preliminary work was performed toward the carrying out of the purpose of the cor poration. The work was delayed , however - over , nnd finally abandoned. In 1835 Mr. llarb.tch , who has always taken an exceedingly liyo interest iu the scheme , had arrangements nearly perfected for the construction of the bridge and a road to the northwest through Nebraska. Other schemes were forced in and the project was agnm dropped for a time. Last fall the demand for a , road to the northwest was the occasion of several citizens' meetings and the ap pointment of several committees to so licit subscriptions for the construction of an Omaha road This project apparently died in the hands of the committee. Re cently , however , Mr. llnrbach has spent n gooet deal of time in New York and Washington , and has succeeded in reviv ing tlio project and getting it into the hands of tlio now board of directors named above. The old directors who were II. Kountzo , J. H. Dermont , J. A. Croiguton . V. Morse , J. A. llirbaoh , Charles Tumor , W. J. Uroach , II. W. Yatesand S. A. Johnson , In traiibfer- ring thu affairs of the company to the now directors , exacted a promise and a guarantee that assures the con struction of the road. The new company guarantees that work shall bo commenced on the contemplated transmission bridge within ninety days and the beginning of the road within a specified number of months loss than a year. In case of a failure to carry out this guarantee the business of the company reverts to the old organization. Of course the plans of _ this new rninpuuy nro uo jot very imlcli- nite , but they are known in a general way. It is asserted that the now bridge will bo built , touching the Omaha side at the foot of Dodge street , the road to bo constructed Ihonco north along the river to the alley between Cuming and Hurt , west on this alloy to the city limits and thence to tlio northwest through thn state to a distance of at least 150 miles. The company , it is indorstood , will bo required to secure n ubsidy of three-quarters of n million dollars from Omaha. This done nnd a ailroad company , doubtlnss the Jhlcago , Milwaukee & St. Paul , will take ho scheme and build the bridge and the oad. INTO THE OuO CHANNEL. The "Big Muddy" Makes n Sudden and Serious Turn. An excited nnd fast riding courier brought the information to the city this morning about 3 o'clock that the tiny ivulct , which a few daya ago was re- iiorted us creeping into section 2 , fifteen miles north , from a break in the bank of .he Missouri , had suddenly at 10 o'clock a&t night become a raging torrent , and hat every indication ppintod toward the rcacherous river making its way through ho old channel. It was diflicult to got rom the messenger anything like a con nected story , but from what ho was able to tell the break in the river was most .mcxpecte.d and the effects most dlsas- trous. For several days it has been apparent at the point where the water was gottlnp * hrough the bank in section 3 . that the arth was being uml crmined for fullj 200 feet each way , but no serious loan were entortaino d of n wholesale breach as the flood was apparently 'subsiding On Tuesday the readers. of the BKB will remember that a brief telegram was published of the breaking ot the gorge at Mandun , opposite Bismarck and the rush of a great Hood down tlu river in consequence. The gorge broke on Monday about 'J a. m. anil that gave it just time to reach tins point by lasl night. According to the messenger , whe reached this city at the late hour men tioneil , tha people who rqsldo about : mile and a half from the river wen alarmed by a crashing , tearing and roar ing Mich as they had never before known They hastily sought to learn the source o : the disturbance and were alarmed to ells cover that the ground about the house : was already inundated , and that u tro mentions body of water which appeared to bo as voluminous as the Missouri itsesl was pouring nlonjyilmost ut their door ; nnd covering all tWHat land which lie : adjacent to Florence lako. The whole farm of William Mack , ac cording to this messenger , was hum dated nnd a deep channel had bcei ploughed through the eastern half of it l-'lorenco lake had become again a bed o a rapidly moving stream ; the house o J. K. Hazard had been surrounded am was in imminuiit danger of being swop away. The Ucdick farm was covered ; am the water was already rushing do\vi through Cut-oil'lako and over thu Croigh ton property into the present river whio ! had fallen several feet because of thi sudden destruction of so largo a body c water from the nsual channel. Mr. George Wilson , the messenger n forrod to , was immediately accompanies by a reporter of the BEE to the residcnc of Mayor Boyd and obtained from hit permission to take a few members of th tire department and four policement the princial point of danger to lives an property , J. 1C. llazar's farm. Severe gentlemen who worn mot ou the street volunteered to accompany the party. A 3 o'clock this morning the rescuing expt ditlon started in cabs and carriages an on horses. As far ns learned at that hoi the wat r hrri surrounded four house and several more were in danger. The river at the smelting works fe between midnight and 2:33 : o'clock th. morning very rapidly. .At the prosoi writing , HoO : a. niu It Is higher than ithns been ut any time during the present rise. It is dilllctilt to predict what will bo the effect of this bt' ak- and change of tlio channel. It may 'not be of sutllcicnt duration lo dig oht a permanent course for the whole river , and it may. At any rate it is probableiUiat on thlc pleasant morning ol April iK 1337 , the Big Muddy Is playing a practical and unpleasant joke. ' ONE HUsn\Njt > _ TOO MANY , Mury Cotullt IiontlmTwo Men n Very Lively Danuc. In 18S3 John ! Coidll { met at Ulvcr Slou.v , in loTva.n a1 1 handsome young widow named Mary Simmons. John was smitten and Mary reciprocated. The af fection resulted , in a very brief time , in a marriage soon after which they re moved to Omaha leaving the woman's child in thu care of her first husband. The Condlts lived in Omaha for a few months apparently happy when Mrs. Condit took a vacation to go to her old home and see her child. She went and stayed so long that her husband became alarmed and went after her. Ho found her living with her former husband , Simmons. Ho went to call upon his wife , but was refused admittance. Ho then sought the aid of a constable , but Sim mons then took a hand in the game and chased the minion of the law away from the premises with a gun and informed Condit that ho would be filled full of bird shot if he lingered any longer. Condit returned to Omaha a sadder and madder man. He lived alone a few months and then his wife _ came back. The good people of River Sioux had driven her and Simmons out of the city. She re mained hero a few weeks and then suddenly disappeared and was next heard from at a small town in Kansas. Still imagining that ho loved his wife. Condit paid her a visit in the hope of inducing her to return to Omaha. Ho was getting along well when Sim mons again appeared and upset all his plans. He finally cave up his hope * of a reconciliation and returned to Omaha and commenced suit against his wife on the ground of adultery and desertion. Judge Neville heard the case yesterday and grantcel the divorce. IN THE FIELD OF SI'OKTH. The Ball Team All In Gun Gluh Notes.

The musical intlcc- tions of her voice , tlio matchless grace of her bearing and her subtle divination of Shakespeare's lines made her presence on the stage a never wearying pleasure. She seems the ideal Viola and gives a charming portrayal of the various phases of the heroine's character , her daring ndepondencc , sweet ingenuousness nnd occasional lapses into feminine tender ness. The part of Orsini gives Barry- more comparatively little to elo , but that little was accomplished in such a manner as to leave nothing to bo desired. The balance of the support was capable , Mary Shaw was excellent ns Maria , act ing with much HpirifTind vivaci.y.

SUTTON , Neb. , March 20. ( .Corre spondence of the BEE. ] An important convention of women has just closed a three days' session at Edgar , in Clay county. There were 200 members of the W. C. T. U. present ns delegates , repre senting seven counties and fifty towns and cities. Delegates were present from Adams , Fillmore , Saline , Jefferson , Thaycr and Nuckolls counties. Each town in the above counties was repre sented by two or moro delegates , each delegation representing an organized union of twenty-five to 150 women. The old idea of n woman's convention sug gested "old maids , " "blue stockings. " and "spectacles , " but a convention of the women of southern Nebraska means plenty of brains and business. There is method in what they elo and they are all up to every point in parliamentary de bate. bate.Of late these women are becoming close observers of public afiairs. They rend caretully the daily papers and note every turn of popular sentiment toward their favorite idea of prohibition. They are generally the leading women in the communities where they live , not only in temperance but in society and social mat ters. They are generally the wives of lending professional ami businessmen , live in pleasant homes , are well dressed and attractive. Among those most prom inent in this convention wont Mrs. Gen eral Conner , of Kuarnuy Mrs. Black , ol Kunnosaw ; Mrs. Maryutto , of link Cloud ; Mrs. Fitch and Mrs , Jones , of Hustings ; MM. A. B. Smith , of Fairllold ; Mrs. Dr. Cassell , of Edgar , and many others. The convention was hold in thn Baptist church , which was crowded to its utmost capacity during the entire session. The ellcct of this woman h movement In this part of the tomporiinco state ) i.s demonstrated in thn fact that ill the seven counties above referred to , thorn ary only live towns where open saloons are 'allowed. In nearly every town is n public reading room , a baud ol hope and a regular weekly temperance meeting. An address of welcome was delivered by Mrs. M. J. Hull , of Edgar , nnd responded to by Mrs. J. W. Johnson , of Siitton. Mrs. Dr. Fitch read an inter esting paper showing the rapid develop ment of this movement in this part of the htnte during the last year. Mrs. Jones , of Hastings , delivered an instructive ) ad dress on temperance literature. Mrs , Maryutto , ol Hod Cloud , addressed the convention on juvenile work , Mrs. Black , of Kennosaw , road an inter osliug paper. Ono of thn most uleiiKtinl features of the convention was the ( | iiuo box , which was opened at each session by Mrs. General Con.ncr.
