The name of Fountain hiis been more

cootl reason to believe that its glory witli
the imposing iiursonu u by whom it
wns brought into fame , has
forever. Tne public has not
yet forgotten tlie notoriety which Airs.
Fountain iittaincil. How she bec.ime n

carriage tliu atlmired of many a mascu

how shu traveled with the ease of
of a potentate who has rallrouls : at tier
command ; how she nuulc tij > her mind to

she did leave and take up regal quarters
in the leading hotel at that place ; how
filio was brought back to this city ,
brought before a judge to answer
to the charge of removing
mortgaged property from the btato ; how
she was absolved from the charge , and tin-
ally of her bringing u suit for 1)0,000
damages against the parties who had her
brought hero to answer to the charge
ubove hpecilied. After a season at Lin
coln during the legislature Mrs. foun
tain returned to St. 1'anl , where
she now resides , but before going she
had quietly dismissed the suit against the
tjwi'ler , paying all the costs that had
cen incurred. The motive for this quiet
cessation of hostilities , it is claimed , is
tlie faet that the defendant had secured n
bateli of allidnvits which if ever brought
into court would make the most sensa
tional reading ever published in this part
of the country.

Mr. IJalcombo , chairman of the board
of public works , yesterday morning became -
came warm in denouncing the people
whoho carelessness and procrastination
nro inlorlerring with the satisfactory pro
gress of the paving workof this city. Ho
introduced Sixteenth , already referred to
us an example in these columns , and
said 111 at notice had been given to ttio
residents in that thoroughfare as early as
the first of May , to have their sewer ,
water and g connections made by the
fifteenth of that month. "Now ,
it is almost the fifteenth
of July , " .said Mr. ISulcombc ,
mid there 11 on that .street not a gas or
water main , and not a resident has made
n connection. There has not been oven
a sewer put in. [ This statement is con
troverted by J. F. Daley. ] But the powers
commence work on that street next week ,
iind just as soon as the first shovel ot
earth is thrown , just so .soon will you see
trenches dug all along the load , just
nhcad ot the pavers , mil I'm going to
order every ono of those trench men oil' .
I'm getting tired of this and I won't
utanil it. I've .spoken to Mr. House and
Mr. ( 'ri'lghton. and they luivo both told
inn that this delay was almost intoler
able. It's not Sixteenth street alone ,
but it's half a do/.cn others at the same
time. "
j\Ir. Hailoy , of the 091111011 , said that
the question had been raised .TJ to whether
fire hydrants had been ordered for Six
teenth. The matter had been looked up ,
and it was found that there had been no
hydrants ordered , and consequently
there could not be any water mains in
the street with which to connect , lie
thought it better to delay work on the
street until the defect could be remedied.
Mr. Halcombe and Councilman liailey
then informed the reporter that Charles
Woodworth had the contract for furnish
ing the stone for the curbing on all tlie
streets to bo paved this year ; that ho had
furnished about one-tenth of the material ,
find that the paving contractors were
waiting impatiently tor tin ; sup
ply of the remainder. It is ex
pected that in tlds deal Mr. Woodworth
represents the Union Pacific , and consequently
quently ought not to bo behind because
of the lack of tiansportation facilities ,
especially when business on the road is
not such as to prevent almost any num
ber of cars from being had by outside
parties. There are four classes of
pavers depending on Mr. Woodworth , the
nsphaltum , Sioux Falls , sand stone find
cedar block men. The latter , Regan.
brothers , have stored up hero an im
mense quantity of block , upon which
they are of course expending
money in interest , and they caii
not got their streets curbed to
commence to pave. As n consequence it
Is oxpented that they are paving the way
to get damages from the city. Mr. Hal-
eonibosays that If he could iind a quarry
liny place which would bo able to supply
the stone required , ho would cancel
VVoodworth'.s contract and got the stone
elsewhere , lint all the quarries to which
ho has written are unable to supply more
than the eiders they have uow on hand.

pointed for Nol > rnnkix uiid Wyoming.
The announcement recently , that
Knottier Catholic bishop hud been np
pointed for Nebraska was not unexpected
iimong the Catholics of this city , and
the expectations of the best informed of
these were realized as to the home of the
appointee. The telegraph erred in
stating that ho belonged to Lin
coln , it has since been ascertained
that the uisliop-clect , Key. Thomas lion-
iieuin , is a St. Lonisan , being the pastor
of the church of the Holy Name , a promi
nent Catholic cditico on tiniuil avenue ,
in that city with which ho has been con
nected for a number of years. It is not
yet known when tlie new bishop will bo
consecrated. Neither is there much
known about his life. It has
been vouchsafed , however , that ho
is a man of education , piety and /.cal in
the cause of religion. After consecration
he will reside in Lincoln and have juris
diction of the state south of the PhUto.
This will leave only the North 1'latte
country subject to liishop Uonacum. now
that a bishop tins been unpointed for
Wyoming , with his see in Cheyenne.
When llishop O'Connor came to this
country as the vicnr-apostolle of Nebraska
lie had jurisdiction over Nebraska , Dakota -
kota , Wyoming nnd Montana. First ho
was relieved o ( Montana , then of la-
Kota , and now at thn same time ho has
been donrlred of both the southern part
of Nebraska and Wyoming. This will
give this xualous gentleman a needed rest
Iind enable him to devote himself to thn
building ui of the church in liio section
of this state above referred to.
The bishop for Cheyenne is named as
the ttov. Maurice llourko. Uut in the
Catholic 01 do for 18" * ? no such name c-in
bo found. Neither is such n clergyman
known by the must widely acquainted
clergymen In the city.

Good-ltyo Trail.
Range Journal , Denver : The historic
cattle trail at the close of this season
will bo numbered with the things that
were. The encroachment of the settlers ,
ttio opening to settlement of the public
lands lying along the eastern border of
Colorado , and the rapid completion of
the Denver , Texas & Gulf railroad ,
marks the end of the movement , except
in a very small way , of cattle from south
to north hy the old trail. Ellorts are
being made to find a northern outlet
from Arizona , but in the event of suc
cess the number of cattle that will iind
their way north by that route will never
compare to that which has come by the
Panhandle of Texas annually for the past
quarter of a century.
The general good feeling that now prevails -
vails among the stockmen of all the
range country encourages the belief that
they will bo able to adjust themselves to
the new order of things with but little
friction. Texas drovers now on the trail
are conducting their movements with a
commendable and earnest desire to com
ply with all the sanitary regulations in
force by the din'oront territories and
states , and no danger is apprehended
anywhere from Texas cattle. When ,
however , the movement is made from
necessity by rail additional precautions
will bo necessary nnd different regula
tions will bo required. Wo think it is
none too early for the sanitary authori
ties north of Texas to begin the con
sideration of the subject o ( next
year's movement of Texas cattle.
ID one sense the subject will
bc > grcatly c simplitied ; ranch and
farm rights will not enter into the sub
ject at all. The railroads that transport
them , tlie stockyards companies , aim the
stockmen ou the range at the point Of
destination will become the parties in
terested. We believe it is conceded that
north of a well-known line in Texas no
duii"or nned be apprehended from Texas
cattle. If this bo true a line of safety
should bo defined that would allay all
fours , and then the movement of cattle
north of this line should he free and un
hampered , louti" cattle from the in-
fueled dihtiiet should be thrown into the
ne.althv section , and the next reason ,
would bo free from disease iind frei to
come north. The whole question should
he carefully considered by those who
will bo required to deal with it , so that
the business of next year will not be tUs
turbud by vexatious debys and loss ,
THE cotmrs.
What 'Was Done licfbro the Judges
To D y.
UNITED STATKS.
The hearing of the testimony In the
case of the United States vs. Peter Gross
for the alleged subornation ot
perjury still continues and is probable
: ho case will not reach a close before
this afternoon. As this trial Is
exciting interest , a rccountal of
the tracing. tracking and final
capture of the defendant in
Cleveland , Ohio , one week ago , might
lot come amiss. It involves a very la-
jorious , but neatly executed piece of do-
.eotive work , and for which L. N. Fero ,
of the Union Pacific force , gets all duo
credit. After the trial had gone ngnmst
( Joss in 1881 , instead of receiving
lamagcs , he , with his son and three of
Ids witnesses were indicted for perjury.
The witnesses pleaded guilty and the
iros.s' lied , and the most sedulous search
failed to turn up any clue as to their
whereabouts. One year ago the case was
nit in Foro's hands to work up , which
iicant not only the locating and appro-
tension of Gross and his son , nut
ho taking of depositions from
mportant witnesses , who , in the Inter
regnum between the ( hiding of the in-
lictmcnls nnd when Fero took up the
cha c , had become spattered to all parts
) f the continent. Ho made trips to San
bVancisco , Cheyenne and Denver , down
nto Kansas and Arkansas , to Cedar
[ { apids and St. Paul , meeting with n va
riety of thrilling adventures , and after
hiding each and every absent witness
nnd securing their evidence , ho returned
to Oniaha and turned his attention ox-
clusivcly to unearthing the Grosses. Mrs.
! 5ross still lived here , but could be neither
coaxed , bought or entrapped. She was
ns silent on the score of her husband and
son's whereabouts ns the sphynx. The
lostollice was blocked here , and a letter
o Mrs. Gross finally gave up the snap ,
ind indicated that the fugitives were in
Cleveland. Fero hied himself thither im
mediately and after weeks of the most
unremitting and studious application ,
with the assistance of the local detective
force , the Grosses were discovered , ar
rested and returned to Omaha.
John MeCall , of Rnlo , Neb. , was ar
rested by deputy United States Mar
shal William Applingcr , on a charge

The charge against Thomas Hand of
obtaining money under false pretenses ,
particulars of which have appeared in
the HUE , was yesterday proceeded
with and was concluded. A num
ber of witnesses were examined for
both the prosecution and defense and a
considerable amount of contradictory
testimony given. The defendant was dis
charged.
Laurence Anderson , who was recently
lined for assault at Judge Mortal's court ,
at the instance of Frederick Traulscn ,
was yesterday morning brought before
Justice Road on application of Traulsen.to
have defendant bound over to keep the
peacq. Testimony was given by the com
plaining witness that he was in constant
fear of being killed by the defendant , but
as there was no satisfactory evidence of
threats made by Anderson , he was dis
charged aud an order made for costs to
bo taxed against the complaining wit
ness.

James Kinney who resides on the cor

and who went homo and maltreated his
good dear , better-half , whipped the child
ren and made a chaotic wreck out of the
hoticehold furniture , faced Judge lierka
yesterday morning m a very hang-dog
manner , and after a brief investigation
was fined $10 and costs , which he paid
and was released. Before ho took his de
parture , though , he received a lecture
from the court on conjugal affairs , that it
is hoped made a lasting impression , for
tiie next time a like complaint is made
against him , it is over the hill for an in-
detinlte period , sure.

FAIR EYES FOR SPORT.
The Girls' Wny or Gnttluc Kxcltcil
Over nGnino of Raao Hall.
More girls have the base ball crn/e this
season than ever before. At some of the
Barnes on the polo grounds there have
been upwards of 1,000 in attendance.
They have made the grand stand pictur
esque with their colored sunshades anil
bright gowns , and nearly all of them dis
play an active interest in the game. Of
course there are here and there in the
crowd ladies who do not understand the
game ; they are wives , sisters , or sweet
hearts of men who sacrifice business and
the privileges of vacation to the sport. I"
ono case , at least , an enthusiast had
brought his mother to the grounds to see
the game ho so much admired , and with
splendid patience ho explained the
various pointsin the play as they oc
curred , informed her when she ought to
bo pleased , taught her to despise the um
pire and actually came near making the
old lady believe that she was enjoying
herself. Hut most of the girls who at
tend do so from choice , and some can
keep an intelligent score. They are con
stant in their attendance , and whenever
ono of them misses a g.inio she borrows a
friends' score card in older to make up
her own record.
A Sun reporter went down to the St.
George grounds on Stntun Inland to sen a
game. On the same bout were , among
others , two girls on the samp errand.
Oao was with an escort , and , instead of
having been induced to go to the g.uue by
him. it was she who had don'j the per
suading. The other girl was aloue. She
wore a narrow-rimmed straw hat and a
plain blue dress. She looked as trim as
the typical yachtswoman , and her faeo
preserved a thoughtful expression as she
gazed over the bay at the distant grand
stand. The ono with the escort wanted
to keep score , but lie pleaded with her in
a low voieo not to do so , as if ho saw
something unladylike in such a course.
She pouted , protested and yielded. The
other in a busincss-liko way took out a
neatly bound book with "Season ot 1 8 ? "
in gilt letters on the cover , anil proceeded
to copy the names of the pluvers in the
order of their coming to bat from the of
ficial card sold by the ushers. She
watched the play throughout with hardly
a motion other than was required for the
propelling of hnr stylograph pun : is she
recorded tiio various plays.
The gentleman who played the um-
piao was very popular , and tlie crowd
hooted him derisively many times. Oneo
when one of his rulings was unusually
disagreeable to the paitf-ans of the homo
club , and it seemed as if every man of
the 0,000 present was either hooting ,
groaning or hissing , the young lady
bcorcr shut ho lips together sternly ,
closed the book with the pen between
the leaves , laid it her lap , folded her
hands upon it and looked hard at tlm um
pire , her gray eyes opening wide , as if
with astonishment and indignation. It
was the picture of perfectly suppressed
emotion.
The other girl throughout the game
wa * all action , Sim gnvo little screams
of delight when the ball went flying away
up into the air beyond anybody's reach ,
aud wiien a player failed to catch a ball
or to throw it as ho should she expressed
her astonishment and disappointment in
"ohs" and the unconscious wringing of
her hands. At the point where the um
pire roused such a storm of criticism .she
turned to her amused ami .somewhat em
barrassed escort and exclaimed : "Oh ! I
wish 1 were a man ! Wouldn't 1 hiss , or
call that umpire name's , or something ! "
This convoked a terrible threat , but it was
not equal , technically considered , to her
running comments pu the game. They
were all in the patois of bn < o ball and
alive witli the slang of the day. Her heat
was an aspiratu exclamation when the
umpire culled a strike on a ball that went
somewhat over the striker s head : 'Why
doesn't lie provide a stepladder ? "

ALTERATIONS ;
In a few davs we will commence extensive repairs and altera
tions in the building we occupy. Carpenters and painters will
take possession of our upper floors to fit them into suitable salesrooms - *
rooms and to enable us to properlv displav the immense stock * !
which we intend to put in for the fall. "We have to get some goods
out of the wav to give the workmen room to work , and rather
than to move the goods around or store them , we have decided to
make a big cut and slaughter them , When we cut we do not do it
with a knife we take the axe , for instance.
One lot of fine light-colored Men's Sack Cheviot Suits.- with
good serge lining , and elegantlv made up , which sold this season
for $11 , cut down to $7.
One lot of good all wool Cassimere Sack Suits , a fine grev pin
h eck , well trimmed and made. The regular price for this Suit is
$9 , and is sold bv other houses for much more than that. We have
out it down to $5.75.
Another lot of same qualitv and make , onlv different pattern ,
a neat , stvlish stripe , for same price. These two suits are the
greatest bargain we ever offered.
One lot of strictlv All Wool Suits , plain grey color ; this is a
durable suit , well gotten up , out down to $5 ; the cheapest all wool
shown , and worth at least $8.50-
We have only a small quantity left of ner grade light weight
suits , four-button out-a-wav and sacks , but what there is has been
cut down to prices that will clean them out at once *
All goods marked in plain figures and at strictlv one price at
lothing Company ,
