The report sent out by thu associated press of tlio Unudixur-Hnn- Ian rnco , which took place July SO nt Pullman - man , III. , In which J. A , St. John was charged with having ordered ( inudnur to lose , was Incorrect In this particular , and did that gentleman a great injustice. The facts worn tlmt Mr. St. John ordered Oaurtixiir , ro- Bardlets of the condition of the wnter , to obey the order of the referee and to win It possible. There Is no rcnson to doubt that tills rnco , UKO every other In which Mr. St. John and Uaudaur have bcon connected , was rowed strictly on the merits of the men.

COLLAPSE OF THE DEAU The California Wheat King Compelled to Knock Under. SAN FRANCISCO , August 3. The big bull deal In wheat collapsed here to-day. The top prices were reached Monday when the bulls offered S3. 17 pur cental for wheat. Yesterday the market dropped to 35.14. The collapse of the deal was not attended by unusual excitement The sessions of the call board were adjourned under the resolu tion adopted by the directors. The reason Klvcn was the desire to avert n threatened panic. No failures were reported up to this evening , and Is la believed that all the deals will be compromised so an to avoid anv such disasters on the street. Two of the chief bull traders. Wil liam Dressback and John Hosenfeld , are known to bo responsible for 50,000 tons of wheat held under various options for de livery during tills j ear. They made n propo sition to settle , really asking sellers to carry wheat In their Inlereit until De i-ember. they to pay sellers for doing HO , The total amount of wheat the 'lones" have IHMJII shouldering Is variously computed , but In evidence of the magnitude of the deal , It ie stated that It has required $ U > .000OOu to carrj grain already at Liverpool - pool and on the way , together with great quantities In store In warehouses In this Mate. The collateral put up by thu ring for advances have been mostly certificates of wheat on hand , nnd the Interesting question of the future will bo the ownership of one-naif the hypothecated stock. The action taken by thn board of di rectors In stopping all hoard sessions Is deemed very remarkable , but that It averted a panic is conceded , Dresback's proposition was accepted this afternoon nnd Urn virtual result Is that sim ulators and biokers , shoits Included , ha\o agreed to keep thcli hands oil thn market for the present , both the bulls nnd the bears backing down. Dresbock had the shorts so badly scared that they were willing to ge4 out tritbuut makingauytlbur / , making the outcome one of the most remarkable on record. The actual market price of wheat cannot bo determined for several da > sral- the nominal figure is 31.75. KvAxsviMnInd. , August 3.

It was callud for the purpose of transacting the routine business which was passed at the regular i'uusday night meeting. Had the batch of petitions and communica tions in the hands of the clerk- boon opened and read it 19 quite likely the alclermenwould liavo been still in session. To facilitate matters , however , petitions and communications were referred , on motion , to the committees to which they would naturally fall and thut a great deal of the business was disposed of in one momout. As it was the session lasted until nearly midnight. Pursuant to adjournment the council nitit at 8u5 : last night.

Ono of the most successful transitions from ovory-day life to that of the his- triono of but Hooting existence was that made by the ladles and gentlemen who appeared last evening at Mot/'s garden in "Die Zartlichon Verwamlton. " All were amateurs , while the piece called for professionals. Yet it may well bo doubted if its presentation did not in spire more hearty appreciation than the production of the same piece would have at thu hands of more experienced tictors. The piece is an entertaining one. Jt is exceedingly well written and thu drawing of tlio oharnetors displays exceeding ver satility. The owner of a castle returns after a ton years' journey to Und his her itage in the possession of n bevy of maid ens , some of whom nro marvellously fair and beautiful , while others display upon their countenances tlio tmniistiikablo evi dences of years and unsatisfied desires. Them are several young and old men in the play. One of tlio young men marries the castle-owner's niece and gains a prize. The castle owner marries ti waif whom ho has raised , while other forlunatcs pair off with other ladies , and the piuco oonscqunntly ends with but little excitement and loss gore. Mr. Dr.imlcs made an excellent liar- nan ; Ulrickc , ono of his sisters , was strongly played by MiiH Ida Pomy. She secured tlio lirst applatno. This is to bo attributed to the. fact that in the play , while considerably advanced in years , she displayed true heroic tomnorament and exorcised a great dual of liberty of expression. Miss Augusta Pomy appeared as Ottilie , the most picturesque character on the stage. She rendered her lines with reckless abandon , and displayed an excel lent appreciation of her somewhat brco/.y character. Mrs. Seliaoflur plaved with her old- time fervor and secured many happy re calls. calls.Miss Miss Lina Smith had but little to do In Adclgundc , but she rendered that satis factorily. Ilrtllronri Now * . The following stations on the "Chey enne lino" of the H. M. wore opened for business Wednesday , August 3. as fol lows : Lisbon , 78.21 miles west of Curtis , W.

Green , of the passenger department of the Union Pacilic , has charge of the party , which is sufficient to show that everything will be in tip-top shapo. UNION I'ACIKIO EXCURSION. General Mnnagor Potter , of the Union Pacilic , returned from the east yesterday morning. On next Thursday weeK thn Union Pacilic will send out a special excursion to Soda Springs , Idaho , to last Uvo weeks. The route will comprise a number of the best places on the Union Pacific lino. The regular tourist faro is $60 , but thofnrc in this instance has been reduced to $35 for the round trip. The "Gem" of Denrtvroort. A small local paragraph which was printed a few days ago reflecting in a mild degree upon the Gem theater of Dcadwood and the character of the per formances therein given has been the source of some discussion up at that city. city.Tho The women Fenton and Saundcrs about whom it was reported were the subjects nf unjust treatment upon the part of the manager of the theater have written letters which iiave boon for warded to this ofjipo by Manager Swear- ingen contradicting the story as printed , saying that Manager Swo'nringen is a high toned gentleman and that his Gem theater i.s a highly moral place of amuse ment and that they were always treated like lailios. Since the letters were writ ten , however , the women have arrived in this city from Deadwood. and say they wcro compelled to write the Inttnrs through fear of the manager and that the matter as printed was true in every par ticular , and that the place is a don and the maungcr is anything but u gentleman. In thn Park. Mr. X. Kulm lias returned from a trip to Yellowstone park , which ho enjoyed greatly. The Union Pacific road is still 103 miles from the inclosure , while the Northern Pacific runs within four miles of it. No hunting or fishing is allowed in the park. Ono night as ho sat at thn hotel two bears came within 100 yoards of the place , but they retired unmolested. The park may bo done in four days and the jourhnys are so laid out that at night one always finds himself at a hotol. Mr. Kuhn returned by way of the Northern Pacific and stopped on * at Duluth - luth , where he found property loss reason able in price than horo. It was selling for ? 8I)0 ) per front foot with a depth of 115 feet. And then there was but one long street for the transaction of business. Ptihllc Workn. It is the intention of the board to proceed - coed immediately with the curbing of ono side of Thirteenth an $ lo pave the same wfth granite , the horse ear track forming a brace on ono side as the curb docs on the other. The contract for this paving was lot nearly a year ago to Uiloy & Co. , but it.Jujs been interfered with because of the scarcity of curbing material.

The preliminary examination of a crimi nal libel suit , in which Parko Godwin represented ono flido aud Messrs. Urown , Baldwin nnd O'Connor the other , had just been postponed , when Judge Bcrka called the next caso. "May Brown , you are charged with larceny , " said the judge. "Step this way. What have you to say ? " " 1 don't know what to any , " replied tlio prisoner , a modest and attractive girl , neatly dressed , and not more than seven teen years of age. "Have you a lawyer ? " ' ! No. sir. " Her ladylike appearance attracted the attention of Messrs. Godwin , Brown , O'Connor ' and Baldwin , thn latter of whom went up and spoke to her in a fatherly way , and learning the facts in her case , not only volunteered to defend her but called upon the other gentlemen to assist him. They all consented. The prosecutor , a South Omaha man named Ixnvls Swanson - son , was a man who was six feet tall and looked like a pri/o lighter. He charged her with having stolen ! ? 5. Godwin picked up the complaint and found that it was defective. It charged the theft of a note of the value of $5. Showing the complaint to Mr. Baldwin , he asked what ho thought of it. "It's N. G. , " said the latter , "it doesn't describe the note. " "What do you think of it ? " asked God win of Brown. "It is not worth the paper it is written on , "replied Brown. "Wo don't know whether it was a bank note , a promis sory note or a billet doiix. " "O'Connor , what's your opinion of this complaint ? " asked Godwin. "It won't hold water. " Thereupon each of the quartette made a spoccli to support the motion for dis missal. The assistant city attorney , Mr. Davis , who was prosecuting thu case , ad mitted the defect In the complaint. Thereupon Judge Borka discharged the prifonor , who. after thanking the gallant attorneys , walked out of the court room. The prosecuting witness attempted to "talk back" to the attorneys , ono of whom told him that if ho didn't tiliut up aud travel he would have him arrested and locked up. Ho traveled. FRAUU AT A HOUSE Frank It. Kinncy Attempts to niufT the Holder of tlio Lucky Number. Frank U. Kiiinoy is having trouble- over his recent rallle of a horse and buggy. The outfit was worth $500 and the ralllo was hold on Tuesday evening. Tlio lucky number , 4U8 , was hold by George Hollman , who came forward to claim his property. Kinney , however , refused to lot Hoffman have the horse and buggy , claiming that Hoffman had not yet paid the dollar duo on the ticket. Not wishing to have any further trouble with Kinney , Hollman sold his claim to William N. Nivens. Niyens most vigor ously presented his claim to the horse and buggy , but Kinncy still refusing to deliver tno animal , Nivons went before Justice Hcaloy and had a writ of re plevin issued for the horse and vehicle. But Kinncy meanwhile had them anir- ited away and thu ollicors could not find them. Thereupon Nat Brown , proprie tor of the Merchants' hotel , had a com plaint filed against Kinney , both for running a lottery and obtaining money under false pretenses. At last accounts last night the ollicors were hard nftor Kinney , but had not yet captured him. COLONIST * DICKKV'H PROMOTION. Ho Become * District Superintendent of the Western Union. Colonel J. J. Dickey , who has for eighteen years boon the general superin tendent of the Union Pacific company's telegraph lines , resigned yesterday to take effect August 15. Colonel Dickey leaves the service of the Union Pacilic on account of his promotion to the district superintcndcncy with the Western Uaion company with headquarters at Omaha. The Union Pacilic company regrets very much to lose his services , but as he is to have : i much better position his resigna tion was accepted , although reluctantly. Vico-Presidont Potter would not have accepted the resignation had not the Western Union agreed to make Colonel Dickey's headquarters at Omaha where ho could readily bo consulted when occa sion required. His district will still cover the Union Pacific lines in addition to other terri tory. tory.Mr. . L 11. Korty , who has for so many years been his faithful lieutenant as assis tant superintendent , is to bo promoted to fill the vacancy. The A mi jr. General Crook and Lieutenant Kcnnon leave to-morrow for Fort McKinney. General Brock loaves for Boston to morrow , having been called there by illness in his family. During his absence Captain Kay will attend to the duties of the oflice , The Omaha Killo club is holding its weekly shoot at the Bellevue range this afternoon. The army officers , especially those de voted to 'the nxngo are somewliat astounded by an assertion in a mili tary publication of Colonel H. Mcr- riam of the Seventh infantry , that it it impossible for n soldier to make more than 50 per cent accenting to the armv regulations in target shooting. Ho holds further that it is not eyen possible in the future to do more than the percentage mentioned. In view of the wonderful improvement that has everywhere been made in the sciences , to say that in shooting no improvement can bo made is considered preposterous. Besides the records arc against it. There are fire companies in Texas , whoso average is over 01) ) , three companies at Budgor who have made 70 , onu under Colonel Randlett in Fort Du Cliosno which made 77 and another under Colonel Pacgptt which made 57. The BEK ROIHO months ago spoke of Colonel H. C. Merriam going to Europe to patent his improved knapsac. He went to the war ollicn in Berlin and dis played it there , later wont to England to Iiave it patented. His improvement was hardly shown to the Germans when it seems a man named Andreas Sohnor , C Josophstrasso. Berlin , filed n specifica tion in London for a patent on the colonel's improvement. When the latter applied for a patent a few weeks ago ho was informed that the German had got ahead of him. Says the colonel : The proceeding is in itself remarkable , but in connection with the fact that 1 was in Berlin myself at the very time he made the application , ami that my models were exhibited only at tlio Gorman war ollleo , it becomes sin gularly suggestive , both of the opinion of that ofiice upon the merits of the in vention and of the facility with \vliicli Mr. Sohnor availed himself of informa tion only to bo had in that ofiice , through which ho was enabled to make his appli cation for foreign patents on my Inven tion before I loft the city. Fortunately my rights wcro already secured in Eng land. " Onmp Meeting at Centra ! CKNTKAL CITY , Neb. , August 8. [ Cor respondence of the BEE. ] The Grand Island District camp mooting , just nlosed in Rev. S. H. Jones' grove , all ngroo has been ono of the most successful cvor held in this pnrt of Nebraska. Largo crowds attended the services nnd the most In tense interest was manifested. It has been frequently remarked that those who came to the altar seeking the way of salvation wore almost without exception blessed with a sound conversion to God while many believers entered upon a higher religious life and activity. Those happy results are doubtless duo in great measure to the exceptionally excellent preaching. Revs. H. S. Hilton , J. . Fowler ler , H. L. Powers and N. H Gale , nil of Central City , also Revs. J. W. Miller of Genoa , J II. Brooks of St. Paul , R. Kan- dolph of North Lotip , J. W. Jennings of Blair , J. W. Robinson of Fullerton , J. B. Lecdom of Wood River , II. A. Crnno of Grand Island. T. C. Webster of Plum Creek , I ) . K. Tyndall of Kearney , Meyers of Amora , and Edwin Forest , the evan gelist , were present and assisted in the services. Last Sunday morning the presiding elilor , Rev. J. W. Shank , preached a sermon of rare excellence nud power , highly appreciated by all who heard it. The Grand Island district i.s fortunate in tlio possession of ministers of a high onler of talent. Any pulpit in the land would bo creditably tilled by Rev. Crane , Rev. Hilton or Roy. Robin son , or ono of others that might bo men tioned. Rev. 11. S. Powers has great talent as an evangelist and will bo ex ceptionally useful for years to come If his extraordinary zeal docs not break down lily health. The meeting was under the management of the presiding Cider , who proved hiniselt master of the situation by keeping all thu forces well in hatid. in which he was faithfully seconded ended by the other preachers and tlio laymen. The wonderful success of this meeting has created an enthusiasm that will probably result in a large attendance no\t year , when it is oxpentcd that the grounds of the Riverside Park association will bo oc cupied , A pleasing feature of the encampment was the entertainment furnished at camp-meeting rates by the Newton hotel.

FOR The Editors of the I > I > | \Veckllen | limp lr > the Fnnhlnn , Another Omaha journalist has entered the lists as the defendant in a libel suit. This time It is Mark Hnnson , tlio editor of the Danish weekly Den Dansko Pioneer neer , nnd the person entering complaint is Otto Wolfi' , editor of thu Daiinobrog , who sues for $15,000. The matter has grown out of professional rivalry that finally degenerated Into personal abuse , and shows with what remarkable versa tility the vassals of European sovereigns ndapl themselves to the freedom of American speech in the Danish tongue. The last shot given by Wolff in thn quarrel was freighted with the story of an amour of Hansen in thu old country , in which a beautiful Danish maiden blinded by her love for him had surren dered all that Is precious to womanhood. This shot awakened all the latent pas sion of Hanscn's soul , and he replied the next week in an article which for per sonal abuse stands equal to some of the ' most inspired products of American journalists. A short .section of tlio article is quoted herewith , with u few omissions : " ( Jroat MoKtil.
