A Hey StnbtHMl.
A small attenuated woman , clad in
ft Hunt blue calico dress , and with n
a shawl over licr head , rushed through
the front door of tlm residence of Pat
rick Cunningham , 808 Howard street into
yesterday the rear rooms of the cottage ,
in which were assembled n number of the
inalo and female members of the family.
She singled out the youngest boy , James ,
njad _ about ten years of age , and ox-
claiming "I'll teach you to meddle with
my boy , ' plunged a knife > into the little
fellow's head. The i blade glancedpierced
the llcsh and came about two inches
away from the place it entered
after liavinc passed between the cranium
and its covering. The members of the
family who witnessed the act were
ama/.cd and the woman had lied before
they recovered their senses. The screams
of the wounded boy attracted the atten
tion of companions , some of whom gave
chasu until ( Jlliccr Ha/o arrested her.
She was taken to the jail and gave her
name as Mrs. llamil. She
was not locked up , but sat
in a dazed condition in a corner of the
jail , bitterly bemoaning her act and
misery. When questioned by the re
porter , she broke into tears and said : "I
don't know what I'll do at all. I don't
know why I did it , unless it was the
misery I have , I have so much trouble
now. Oh , can't I see the
children ? I don't know what's
coming over me. " The poor woman
is a weakly washer-woman , and ekes out
an existence in a scanty manner. It is
not known what charge will bo preferred
against her. The boy's wound was dressed
by Dr. Gilbert , and may yet result ser
iously. The Cunningham lad had "licked * .

DONNING TllB DUOS.
James Tomclty Robs a Stranger and
Is Caught.
One of the most clover captures made
in some time by any members of the
polioo force was effected yesterday by Olll-
cors Mostyn and Turnbull. It seems that
a few nights ago , Charles Stuart , from
Sioux City , until recently night ot the
Journal 01 that city , a well appearing
and well dressed gentleman arrived m
town onhis way to Portland , Ore.
Ilo mot a party named James
Tomelty , and retired together
in a room over Gladstone's grocery.
When Stuart woke in the morning ho
found that his friend his
K , money amount
ing to fuOO , and his pocketbook -
k book had disappeared. Ho notilicd the
police and sought himself to find his bedmate -
mate but without success until this morn
ing when the officers mentioned found the
suspected party in the Misfit Clothing
store , where ho had just encased himself
in a new suit of clothes. The olHcors
searched his old duds and therein found
$20,1.75. The pockot-book , containing a
ticket to Portland , was found still Inter and
Tomolty was arrested and marched to
jail. Mr. Stuart preferred the charge of
fraud and larceny against his friend. His
wife arrived yesterday , and last evening
they departed for Portland , where Mr.
Stuart will go Into a newspaper enter
prise. _
Forcibly Faceted.
Mr. Benham , proprietor of the Club
Etablbs , was forcibly ejected from the
premises yesterday by the owners of the
building , M.F. Patrick and A. S.Patrick.
Bonham's lease expired May 1 , and hav
ing no place to continue his business ho

took the usual leiral proceedings in such
cases , and when Bonham resisted they
had him arrested and lodged in { ail oh
a charge of resisting an oflicor. Bohham's
horses and vehicles and other property
were then removed. It is said that in
the lease there Is a clanso providing a

gery was nicely detected In the Nebraska
National bank , and the perpetrator placed
behind the bars. Ho is the brother of
a well-known man named Welsh ,
and becoming short of funds ,

I ) . Welsh , to a check for | 3
The cashier recognized that the writing
was not that of the depositor , and upon
consultation with Mr. Hughes and Mr.
Yatcs secretly sent a messenger to the

The Nebraska Clothing company ,
vhoso popular place of business is at the
ornorof Douglas and 14th streets , joined
he business circles of this city about one
oar ago. The members of the lirm
can congratulate themselves upon having
ichioved a success which is at ouco llat-
uring to themselves , and is an
evidence of the capability of our
> right young city. Several rea-
ons might bo adduced winch
tided in securing such marked success in
o short a time. One of the main reasons
s their strictly one price system and the
narking of all goods at uniformly low
> rlce-i The public are not slow to appro-
into honesty , andastho olduddagc holds
gooil it must bring its reward. The busi-
less lias actually outgrown their present

THE POOH FAUM AGAIN.
Other Capitalists Want It.
The assertion is ventured that no single
sale of Omaha real estate has created
ho interest which was manifested at the
sale of lots at the county farm last Week.
Men , women and children attended it in
carriagcs.on horseback , and men on foot.
Hr years this elegant property has been
iewcd with envious eyes by every citi
zen anil land agent in the city. And why
lot ? The natural advantages of the
"oor Earm are unsurpassed. Pure air ,
nagniliccnt view and splendid surround-
ngs. It is close to the city yes , right
n the city has street cars for a cer
tainty and property in this locality is
> psitiyely secure from any
lisagreeablo neighbors of any
; itul. Con pled with all of those
advantages , there is a perfect title to
his property , one which is beyond dis-
nito. There are neitherTAXKS nor inter
est for two years ou lots purchased from
the county. These lots will bo sold i
; ash and the balance in 1 and 2 years.
Friday , May Gth,48 lots of thorory cream
of the poor farm will bo placed upon the
market. Those lots are the peer of any
iroporty in Omaha as sites lor a homo
or for an investment. Remember the
sale Friday next , May Cth , at 2 p. m. , at
niblio auction ,

SOME FAMOUS ENGLISH DUELS ,
IllH Opponent Dance u Min
uet.
Pall Mall Gazette : The custom of duel
ling took a long time to die out in the
Itrilish service ; long after they had been
forbidden bv the articles of war , duels
were fought. When an ollicer was
wounded in a duel , it WMS represented to
the authorities although every man in
the corps know otherwise that he had
sprained his ankle or broken his leg ; anil
when one of the combatants fell , it was
only put down to disease at homo ,
apoplexy ; abroad , cholera or fever. Mr.
Douglas mentions several instances of
duellists escaping death by bullets being
stopped or delleeted by the brass buttons
so much worn by our grandfathers.
When Capt. Cuthbort , of the guards and
anil Lord Lonsdalo fought in 1702 , two
shots were lircd by each without injury
to cither ; but Lord Londdale's last shot
would probably huvo been fatal if the
bullet had not struck a bullet on Capt.
"tothbert's coat.
An even more wonderful aflair hap
pened in 1787 , when u French ollicer hav
ing said in an unguarded moment "that
the English army had more phlegm than
spirit , " ho was soon afterwards dial-
'engcd bv an English ollicor , Captain
3 - of the Eleventh Regiment of
Foot , for having made use of these
words. As the Chevalier La H - re
fused cither to apologize for or to with
draw the expression , a duel took place ;
and the oll'enso was considered by the
Briton to bo of so deadly a kind or
rather , one which nothing but the death
of the uttcrer could extenuate that ho
nsisted upon lighting at live paces. If
the two arms and the two pistols are
taken into account , this short distance
was , of course , much reduced , so that
apparently neither had n chance of
escaping. Seemingly they had tossed , or
done something else for "lin > t lire. "
which the Englishman won , and Captain
S - 's ball "took place , " as might bo
expected , on the Chivaliur's breast , but
by a marvel of luck , it was stopped bo a
metal button. The Chevalier , touched
by so providential escape , magnani
mously tired in the air. nnd did not stop
nt that , but made a full apology by stat
ing that the English have both spirit und
phlegm. * v
Wo read elsewhere of another duelist
picking up on his way to the place of
meeting a horseshoe , which , for "luck , "
ho placed Inside of his coat over his
heart , and the bullet happening to strike
there , the horseshoe saved his life. Gen.
Bonnet , in his duel with Gen. Oruant , in
Paris , in 1814 , owed his life to having n
liiuulrctl-fratiii picco in his waistcoat
pocket.
While Dr. Young , an officer belonging
to the Woolwich garrison , was escorting
some ladies up the river to Vnuxhall ,
about thoyenr 1720 , ho played them some
tunes on u Hutu. Behind thorn was n boat
iu which were several ollicers , rowing
for the same goal , and , ns these soon
came alongside the one the Doctor uud
his parly wore in. ho ceased playing.
One of the o Ulcers immediately asked
whvhodidso. ' For the same reason I
began , " answered Dr. Young , "to please
'
myself. " The reply to this was nn'order
to continue playing , ending with a throat
that if ho did not do so , ho ( the oflicor ]
would toss the doctor into the Thames.
Dr. Young complied with the insolent
demand , and played all the way up the
river to Vuuxhnll. During the evening ,
however , the doctor observed the oflicor
who had been RO musically inclined by
himself In one of the walks , when ho
went up to him , and with greit coolness
said : "It was , sir , to avoid interrupting
the harmony of either my company or
yours that I complied with your arrogant
demand , but , that you may learn courage
is to bo found under a black coat as well
ns under a red one , I expect you will
meet mo to-morrow morning nt a certain
place without any second , the quarrel
being entirely between ourselves. " Tue
doctor further covenanted that the affair
should bo decided by swords , to nil ol
which the ollicer readily Agreed.
The parties mot on the following morn-
lug as had been arranged , but tiio mo
ment the officer had taken his grounc
and drawn his sword the doctor pulled
out a liorso pistol nnd presented it to
him. "What ! " exclaimed the ollicer in n
fright , "do you moan to assinato mo ? '
"No , " replied the doctor , "but you
shall Instantly put up your sword ant
dance a minuet , otherwise you are a dead
man , " The other at this began to sweat
at his opponent us well as to vow tic
would do nothing of the kind , but the
doctor was resolute , giving the oflicei
clearly to understand that if he did no
begin to dance before ho ( Young ) countat
. thirty the threat would bo carried intc
efl'oct. In ilow time the doctor began tc
count , "one , two < three , " and. by the
imo ho had got nip lo "ten" the sword
was returned into its sheath , and before
10 had counted "twenty" the ollicor was
going through a minuet as stately ns a
flan could do that had u loaded pistol
evellcd within n few feet of his head.
After n quartet of n an hour's space the
muzzle of the pistol was lowered , the
loldcr of it saying ns it fell , "That will
lo , sir ; we nro now quits. You forced
no to play ngalnst my will , and I have
lompelled you to dance against yours.
Jcing now on a level , I will give you
vhatovcr other satisfaction you require ,
i'ho next aflair will , of course , bo with
econds. You know whore to find mo.
Jood morning. " " The doctor , however ,
icard no more of the matter.
Several letters reflecting on the charac-
cr of a lady having been published In
lie Morning post in 1777 , Captain Stonoy.
n celobratcd buck of the day , challenged
he editor , the Rev. Mr. Bate , on the
indcrstandiug that there were to bo no
econds.
They met in n room , and , locking tlio
leer , took up their positions. Having
ischargiul tlmir pistols without elluut ,
hey throw thcsn on the ground , und ,
Ira wing their swords , attacked each other
nest resolutely , the result being that Mr.
Jato was wounded in the thigh and Cup-
ain Stoney in the arm anil breast. By
his time people were hammering at the
; oor of the room trying to _ open it , but
ho swordsmen were too intent on their
vork to attend , and the conclusion would
lave been fatal to one or botli but for an
ncident which oceuri-d in the combat ,
. 'his was owing to the bending of the
blade of Mr. Bate's sword , which was
caused by the point meeting the Captain's
) roist : hone. On Mr Hate apprising his
opponent of this , Captain Stoney called
ipon him to straighten it ; ami in the in-
erim , while Mr. Bate hud his sword under
ils foot for thai purpose , t'ne door was
> rokcn ouen otherwise , as was re
marked , the death of one or both of the
nxrtics might have ensued. On the Sat-
irday following Captain Stoney married
ho lady whom he thus defended ut the
la/.anl of his life.
There was n Frenchman who boasted
of having killed n dozen English oflicors ,
ind promised to go on in this work , One
evening he swaggered as usual into his
cafe and , to his astonishment , actually
saw one of those hated "Anglais" oeotf-
> ying his chair , a chair that hitherto no
one had dared to sit upon except him
self. Mastering his passion he undid his
sword belt , end , having placed his sword
one ono side , began to insult the per-
'ectly inoffensive English ollicor who sat
so unconscious-looking in Ins ( the French
man's ) chair He trod upon the English
toes , ho deprived the Englishman ot his
candles ; ho went from one thing on to
another without at all being able in the
east apparently , to disturb the other's
ilacidity. At last ho snatched the nows-
> uporout of the Englishman's hand
ind then the Hriton slowly rose up , dis-
ilaying to the astonished eyes of the
jatil u gunidsmtin some 0 feet 0
nches high. The giant , bending across
tlio table , sci/.cd hold of the Frenchman's
lose with ono hand and his chin witlt the
other , and , wrenching his mouth open ,
spat down his throat. With a howl the
L-'renchman , holding his under jaw with
joth hands , rntrout of the room. His
aw was broken ; and neither he nor any
> f his comrades were seen again at that
cafe. .
The English officer was the late Gen-
jral Sir .James Simpson , who for a time
! onimundcd in the Crimea , and who was ,
n his time , tho'tallest man iu the British
iriny.

THE ONLY METHODS
V
Which we employ to gain patronage , are low prices for goocl
ionest goods. The neople are quick to recognize this fact and our
success so far shows it. Our salesmen do not need to use much per *
suasion to sell goods ; our prices speak loud for us and convince the
customer every time that WE HAVE NO COMPETITION IN
THAT LINE ,
Last week we received 200 more of our popular $5.75 Meiis'
Suits. We have sold over 3 00 of them already , and everv one sold
is making for u a dozen new customers * Tliov are striotlv all
wool cassimere , of a nice , stylish brown plaid color , serge lined
and well made , We will sell them at same price , $5.75. Thev
cannot be duplicated bv other dealers for less than $8.50.
We still have a fair assortment of Spring Overcoats. Two weeks
ago thev were marked down verv low , but as we are verv crowded
and need room for our constantly arriving summer goods , we have *
put the knife still deeper into them. Thev must go. The weather
is not vet so warm that vou can safelv dispense with a light over
coat. Here is an opportunity to get one at less than half price *
All goods marked in plain figures and at one price.
