Arriving at the rin they found that there is no misfortuc without its compensation , for they woi bountifully served by the ladles who ha prepared what au Omaha man declare to bo a "square meal. " By the time the had linishcd their dinner the carriaci began to arrive at the rink and all wh desired had an opportunity to take the ; turn In looking about the city.

A. P. McLano and II. Danileo , wh wcro arrested a few days ago on charge of bribery and perjury and were dt charged by Justice of the Posco Andoi son , were again discharged by Polic Judge Borka , before whom.on ro-arres they had boon re-arraigned , ycstorda afternoon. Last evening they wcr again arrested. The case will eventual it is believed , get to the supremo-cour The prisoners are men who made con : plaints against twenty or moro s ; loon keepers in Council Blufii. The then entered into some sort of an agree ment. it is charged , with the accused sc loon keepers to skip out and fail'to ap pear for a consideration of $750 ; and- the received , it la also charged , ai a portio of this money , | 30 In Onuiha on Frida last. At tlw Umo they adg affidavit th : the informations i.to which they ha sworn in Council Bluffs wcro false. Th question to bo ubclifud Is that of jurlsilu tion of courts in this state over transac tions which originated in Iowa , Work Stopped on the City Hall. Work has been stopped ngain on th now. city hall building. Contractor Ed ward J. Brcnnari , who has charge of th work on the assignment made by Ilogai Bros. , the original Contractors , appoaro before * the board of' public works yostoi day and asked for the privilege of makin changes which tho'.board ' could notation and the work has boon stopped unt some settlement of the present dilllfjult can bo effected. The change asked fo by Mr. Bronnan was that ho might b given the privilege of substituting lim stone for Colorado sand stone in th outer walls of the building. The boar took the matter under consideration an decided that , witli their present undei standing of the terms of the contract , the could not allow the change to be made The contract between the city an Messrs. Kegan Bros , specifies that th walls of the building shall bo constructs of Colorado sandstone , Mr. Brenna states that he cannot perform this part c thu contract. The Union Pacific ha raised the freight rate on stone so that Ii cannot get material ou the ground fa the amount which ho is to receive for th construction of the buildlntr. The boar of public works takes the position that i cannot allow any chance in the specifier tions , and is not responsible for change in freight tariffs , but must hold Kcga Bros , or their bondsmen according t contract. The work on the bidding ha hung lire already until there is no hop of having the hall completed bolero til middle or perhaps the last of next ycai South Onmha News. Business at the stock yards has bee very heavy of lato. Mr. Branch , of th Union Stock yard bank , says that ycstei day's business was the heaviest since th bank was organized.

Even thi docs not represent all the business of th yards , as some other banks get aportior but the bulk Is transacted at the Unlo ; Stock yard bank , as it is located in th Exchange building , adjacent to the of flees , and is most convenient to live stoc men. . The South Omaha street car compan has agreed to lay ono milo of track a least , beginning at the north line of th city , within n year. They will also agrc to lay not less than ono mile each yea until the track shall have reached th southern limit of the city , provided th council will give them the right of wa through the streets. It is proposed t lay the track from the north boundary c the city south to Q. street , where it wi turn west nnd run to Fowler place , thu connecting the two jvings of the city. Several public 'spirited ' citizens hav boon engaged in raisins : money , by sut scription , to bo used in grading streets This far $900 have Uoen secured , whioh i was proposed to cjxpeml in grading 2Ht : nth and 20th streets between O. and 1. streets. The city council however i backward about' ' giving the necessar permission for the ' "grading " to bo done Most cities would-Mproud of such entoi prise , but then a jSity council is always hard load to bear , and South Omaha wi ! learn sooner or'littct to bear her burder The work on the * , foundations for th Swift packing house is progressing n rupidlv as could. , no expected with th means at hand. < i After 1'owoltfa Accomplice.

Ho n once tilled the bill , and every thcatri that ho played in as well , and sustainci his success for thirty ynars afterward Rice was born in tiio city of New York May 20 , 1803. lip learned the trade o a ship carver , joined a dramatic associa tion , and went to Kentucky under tin management of N. M. Luulow , a wel known western actor and manager While a member of this company hodis played considerable talent as an iinita tor of the negroes in their pecularitic ; and eccentricities , and was at length an nounced to make his tirst appearance IN A NEOltO CIIAIUOTEU in the city of Louisville. Prior to this , however , ho had played both in Nev York and In the west , many low comedy parts with success , but not until he com' moncod his negro singing and burlcsqui operatic performances was lie ccmsulorei of sufficient note to render his name at tractive. In the fall of the year 1833 In made his Ethiopian debut at the eli Bowery theatre , New York , in the character actor of Jim Crow. ' 1 wish I was de president ob dese Unltec States , I'd lick molasses candy , and swine upon d < gates. Wheel about and turn about , and do jes so And ebery time 1 wheel about 1 jump Jin Crow. ' "This character , both on account of'tf novelty and the excellence of Its rcpro > scntation , attained a popularity un equalled by anything of its kind before or since. Rico during that season is said to have brought more money into the Bowery treasury than any other Ameri can performer during the sumo period oi timo. After a most successful career in Now York , Boston , Philadelphia , and other cities , ho visited England in 1830 , and performed with great applause at the Surrey ( London ) , as also in Dublin and Corkcreating a furor unprecedented oven in the annals of the British stage , and almost literally driving for a time from the boards such favorites as Ma- cready , the Woods , and other distin guished performers. While In Enaland ho married a Miss Gladstone , the oldest daughter of a former manager of the Surrey theatre. Ho soon after returned to his native country , appearing at Wai- lack's National theatre , corner of Church and Leonard streets. Now York , on tin : 17th of October , 1837 , in his specialty , the 'Virginia Mummy. ' For many years subsequently sequontly Mr. Rico was eagerly sought after by the managers and played as n 'star' in nearly every theatre in the Union , His popularity , however , waned in bjs latter days , though ho appeared , clicitiuc much applause , as late as 1851. Stricken linally with paralybis , his death occurred after a season of prolonged Buffering , in the city of his birth , September U ) , 1800 , at the age of 03. "Many suppose that negro minstrelsy originated in the palmy days of "Daddy" lljce existence. That was not so , and Rico never was associated with n min strel band. There was a number oi burnt-cork artists , us alluded to in the proceeding , that were doing negro spec ialty acts at various places in the coun try some with the banjo , some without it , others having for their principal at traction only some negro molodv such as 'Coal Black Rose ' 'Such a Gittin' UpStairs - Stairs , ' 'Gumbo Chaff , ' and one or two others of less popularity. THE KIIIST MINSTKKL COMl'ANV. "It was while Dan Emmutt and Frank Brewer were at the Bowery amphi theatre in December 1812 , that the idea of a minstrel company was lirst put in motion by the following portions , vi/ : Dan Emmctt , Frank Brewer , Billy Whit- look ami Dicic Pelham , who all immedi ately wont into a thorough course of re hearsals at the boarding house of Emmctt , 37'Catherine street. New York. The cause of their organization was simply to make up a combination of negro fun for ouo night only , which was expressly for the benefit of Pelhuin , wheat at that 'timo was dancing between the pieces at the Chatham thcatro. Their rehearsals were Hillictontly encouraging to satisfy them that they had indeed found it novelty. They styled themselves the Virginia minstrels , made their debut at the above-mentioned pluco ( this was early in February , 1843 , ) and were received with deafening plaudits. Dur ing the same week they played one night for the benefit of Mr. John Tryon , then manager of the Bowery umphlthoa- tor. Their performance hero met with astonishing success , so much so'tlmt they wcro secured by Messrs. Welch & Hook- well , then managers of the Park thea tre , Now York , at wh'ch place they per formed two weeks in conjunction with the great dancer , John Diamond. This vras about the middle of February , 1313 , ind after tills they proceeded to Boston , where they played six weeks with won- dorful success. They then returned to Now York and performed at the old Park theater under the management ol Welch & Mann's circus company. \ VXt'OltTINO THE KUN-MAKEK3. "Having now fairly introduced their novelty , and expecting every day to meet. with opposition hero in Ypnkeoland , they determined on a trip to England , where all Idea of rivalry was out of the question , for a tiuio nt least. Accord ingly , with Mr. George B. Wooldrldgo at their head , they Immediately rmbarked for Europe. They arrived lu Europe on May 21 and gave two entertainments at the Concert rooms , Concert street , Liver pool. From theneo they proceeded to the Adolplii theater , London , at which place they performed six weeks in con- nectlou with Professor Anderson , the great wizard of the north. After this engagement Mr. Richard Pelham left the company. The remainder organized in connection with Joe Sweeney , who had just arrived in the country , and in this way they traveled through Ireland and Scotland for six months with success. The company then disbanded and Whltlock returned to America. Thu others soon followed him , with the exception of Pelham , who re mained in England up to his death , in October , 1870. Another company ar rived in Europe from Boston , known as the 'Ring and Parker minstrels. ' They performed in Liverpool and Boston while the Virginia minstrels were playing in London. , Ouo of the members of tiio company personated the character of Lucy Long. whioh evidently must have boon original with them. The rival party afterward performed at the Garrlck Street theatre , London. They arrived in Liverpool in three or four weeks after the Virginia minstrels. On the return of the Virginia minstrels to America they found , as they ' had anticipated , minstrel companies in abundance nil over the country. Band after band was organized almost every day with various titles , and many of them passed away almost as suddenly as an April shower ? A vast improvement , however - over , had buon made m the minstrel business notwithstanding its short exist ence. I uiuTii OK THI : coumr.n SERKKAIIKKS. ! "Duiubloton's Ethiopian screnaders was probably ouo of the most unique organizations - ; ganizations among the llrst bands. They i started in the spring of 1813 , and con- slstcd of Frank Gormon , tambo. George Harrington , banjo : Moody Stamvood. ac cordion , and Giluort W.Pell. bones. This band played in Baltimore in 18M. They also played in Washington before Presi dent Tyler and cabinet , and then wont down to Now Orleans. They returned to New York in the spring of 1815 , and shortly after wont to England , where they played before the queen and royal fam ily , the duke of Wellington and others of the nobility at Arundel castle by com- niaud of the qurcn. This party returned in 1818 and opened at Palme's opera house , October 4 , of that year. After playing thirteen weeks they disbanded. Poll took Juba , the real negro dancer ( perhaps the best ) and Tom Brlpgs , the great banjoist of that time , and returned to England with thorn the same year. All of this party are now dead. It was this band who lirst introduced black coat and pants and white vests for the intro ductory performance. The Dumbleton parly while in England played at the St. James theatre for one year and eight months. THE AUTIIOK OV OLD DAN TUCKER. "Among the great banjo players and ouo of the original starters of negro minstrelsy was Daniel D. Emmctt , who { has done good work for the minstrel fraternity , perhaps more genuine musi cal nignerisms than any other man. Undo Dan , as ho is familiarly called , was born in Mount Vernon , O. , October 20 , 1810 , and has consequently passed his three score and ten. While with the Bryant's minstrels in New York city , ho wrote these peculiar airs : 'Root Hog or / Die. ' 'Boatman Dance , ' 'High Daddy , ' / Old Dan Tuokor.1 'Dandy Jim,1 'The Other Side of Jordan , ' 'Old Aunt Sally , ' 'Dixie's Land,1 'Early in do Morning , ' 'Over do Mountain , ' together with a wonderful collection of walk-around dances. Some have asserted that Joe Swconoy , a native of Louisville , Ky. , was about the iirst to make the bauio famous as an accessory to negro comicali ties. I am sure ho was among the early ones. Earl Pierce , Tom lirlgrgs , Dave Lull , Tom Vaughn , Frank Stanton , Billy \Vhitlock , High Rumsey and Pupscy Keonau , all nourished successfully shortly iftor. " Homo Mission Work. SAUATOOA , N. Y.
