Moixns , la , Nov yi P. D. Aimoitr's
attempt to supply the DavcnK | > rt markets
with diessed beef has stliredup the hutcheis
there , and It is reported that a pro | > osltion I *
to bo made to the common council asking for
the passage of on ordluante compelling In
spection by the city authorities of all dressed
beef exposed for wile on the ground that dis
eased meat might bo shipped in fiom Kansas
City and Chicago , and the people would not
know the quality of what they were buying.
It is not so appaicnt that the people of
DavcniKirt are veiy much conecined
ubout the .quality of the meat Armour
proposes to furnish them , as the local
butchers are about the price at which it is
offered. The probability is that the quality
would bo equal to that now fuinishcd by the
city markets. For if the Davonpoi t butchers
do not supply a better grndo than is fur
nished by butcheis In DCS Moines , the con
sumers would take u gi eat many chances in
supplying themselves elsewhere. It is a no
torious fact that the markets In Iowa's leadIng -
Ing cities nro supplied with about the
"scrawniest" beef that Is nllowed to grow in
the Went. The young , fatstock isallshlppcd

of its heaviest business and $100,0X ( ) worth of
goods were packed leiulv for shipment ,
nearly all of which aio a total loss. The
principal loser Is .1 M. Windsor , of
this city , who was the general manager
of the concetti. The ( lie was caused by the
explosion of a lamp In the tendering room

Two exceedingly huge audiences greeted
the Abbott opeta company uj Hoi d's yester-
dny. "Chimes of Normnndy" was sung nt
the matinee and in the evening Ualfo's "Uo-
heinlan Girl" was presented.
The audience In the evening was a most
enthusiastic one , and the familiar and charmIng -
Ing numbers were encored time and again.
Miss Abbott was at her best , and sang de
lightfully Her solo with lluto obligate ) , In
the last net , wns rapturously received , nnd
the prlmn donna wns nceordcd tin ovn-
tion. The role of Arllno Is peculiarly suited
to Miss Abbott. Thoio Is a certain abandon
ment nnd cltlo in the chnracter of which she
makes the most.
Miss Annnndala as the Queen divided the
honots with Miss Abbott , and in the second
act was presented with a basket of llovvcts
and a magnificent diamond crescent. This
was the gift of the telegraphers of Omaha.
It vvu-s n costly jew el , no less thnn cloven
costly gems comprising the setting. Miss
Annnndulo , at the time of the telegrapheis'
strike in 18S1 , sung at a bonetlt for
them. The lady was completely taken by

The work of Mr. Hrodenck us Count Arn-

The following Incident in Iwinma Abbott's
career , which has not us jet iippourcd in
print was tolatcd ton Hn : rei > ortcryesterday
moining by an cnstein gentleman who is
stopping for a few da.vs at the Millard hotel.
Three years ago Abbott was singing in the
oust and had u three night's engagement at
the Academy of Music In Scranton , Pa , A
prominent attorney of the city , VV. . Wil-
co.x , had a little son ? .bout live or six years of
ago who \v.i" passionately fond of musio and
had a'ueady developed considcrablo talent
Vinong his fuvot ito selections was Abbott's
greatest success , "Tho Last Hose of Snm-
. " nnd little had secured
nor. Geotgo a prom-
se from his father to take him to hear her
that evening. The little fellow wns m high
gleodurmg the dny and conveised of nothing
else. During the afternoon he was bent on
in ei land three or four blocks nwny and
while crossing a stieet wns knocked down by
n runaway horse hitched to an express wagon
which passed over his body. The little follow
was taken to his homo and medical aid biim-
tnond , but his injuries weio pronounced fatal.
Ho letained Ins faculties nnd as evening
came on spoke frequently of going to the
opcta and icqucsteu his mother to get him
icndy. When told that ho was too ill to at
tend ho showed deep disappointment. For
ihaps two hours ho lay silent but linall.v
spoke and said that if ho < ould not go and
hear Miss Abbottho know Miss Abbottwould
como nnd sing for him if ho sent for her. Ho
insisted on Mr. Wilcox going to the tllCnter
nnd bringing her to his beilsi.'e. His father
llnully consented sun arrived at the opeia
house r. Tow minutes befoio the curtain wont
down on the last act. Ho informed the muna-
per of his mission and was conducted behind
the scenes where ho stated to Abbott the
object of his visit. Without taking time to
change her costume the ludythiow a heavy
cloak ubout her hhouldeis and was rapidly
diiven to the Wilcox tesldencc. When they
entered the chamber the little palo face over
which the ashen hue of death wns already
stealing , lighted up and his weak voice fal
tered , ' 'I knew you would couio , Miss Ab
bott , und I wunt jon to slug-Last Koso of
Suinmei'lor ' mo. " Laying her cloak aside
and sitting down on the bedside of the little
suffeier , the puma donna took the little hand
in hot's and sung In that wondrously sweet
voice those woiels whoso mention often 10-
cull memories of bigono dujs :
"Ilia last ro oof Miininvr
Stand * blooming nlonu. "
As the lust words passed her lips a tremor
passed over the little lorin , which had hith-
otto lemnined silent. The little lift ) had
passed away to the musicof Abbott's = ong.

J. L. Mullen , n giocer doing business nt
South Omaha , last night pet fin mod a delicate
and sad task , but 1 > i so doing onl.v car-
tied out a request of mnn.v years' standing
Ho held In his arms his lilend and companion
for many icars , Edgar M. Sellon , whose
spirit took Hlght to the ether wet id shottly
bofote 10 o'clock on one of the public-hlgh-
wu.vs of Omaha. Sellon's and Mullen's nc-
quintancos date back to a pciiod ,
when the two used to run In nnd out of
Omnha over the Union Pacific in the capac
ity of special agents. On these trips tlio two
foimed a strong attachment for each other ,
and that tespect , love and confidence that
was then formed wns nov or ROV ored , though
circumstances cast the lot of the two men
in dlffetcnt directions. Sellon went to
Colorado , nnd being an accomplished
telegraph operator and a thorough
railroader , on accomplishment with a line
education combined , brlllunt intellect nnd
well balanced head , ho found no dlfHculty In
securing a position with the Hlo Grande rail
road at some of its most Important points
ns a train dispatcher. For a while he wns
locntcd nt Lcudvllle , und subsequently wus
transferred to Denver , whcio bis health
began to fnil him. Fiom n henlthy ,
robust man of nearly two bundled
pounds la weight ho lost flesh in
a stattllng degree , and two months ago when
compelled to resign from physical icquho-
ments ho had dwindled away to n mere
shadow of his once foimcr self und weighed
but 140 ixnmds. Physicians pionounccd his
complaint ihcuuiatistn of the heart , com
bined with lung troubles. The medical men
Impressed upon him that when ho died it
would bo sudden , nnd warned him to bo on
his guuid for the final summons at any timo.
This not over-gratifying intelligence did not
evidently unnerve the man , who from all in
dications did not take u \ eiy scilous view of
the terrors of u hereafter. He was rf strong
and immovable advocate of the Bob Ingcr-
sell ctocttlno , und It is said that he wns nt one
time nn ngent of Ingcrsoll during the lecture
tout s of the latter. Sellon wus , however ,
biought up in the sttaight nnd tiaiiow path
by his father who is u minister of the gospel
and lives in New Yoik.
Sellon arrived in Omaha last Monday night
and registered at the Windsor hotel. Ho
called for and was necoided the best quar
tets la the house , and ictiicd to his room at
an early hour. Tuesday ho visited his fiiend
Mullen at South Omaha. Mr. Mullen at the
time was sick m bed , and Sellon sat on the
bed and talked over some business matters.
Ho lefeiied to Ins own phjsicnl condition ,
and spoke gloomily of. ever regaining his
health. The two friends parted in the course
of the day , Sellon promising to call
the next day , Wednesday. However -
over , ho did not keep his
engagement , but passed the gi cater part of
the day in his room wilting lettcis , three of
which weie found on his person , together
with a largo sum of money and valuables
when his clothing was searched at the
moiguo. Ycbtculay cumo and had neatly
passed when Mr. Mullen , being cognizant of
his friend's dungeious complaint , became un
easy and telephoned to the Windsor for in
formation. The reply was that Sel-
lou was still at the hotel ,
but was not feeling well ami
Was desirous of seeing Mullen as soon us
possible. The latter cumo to the city and
had supper with Sellon , who casually 10-
inaiUed that ho was then feeling better than
ho cv or had in his life , but that Tuesdav und
Wednesday nights ho had been vciy ill and
thought ho would dio. After supper the two
friends sat in the totundaof the hotel and
smoked a cigar each , after which they stai ted
up stieet to \ isit the proprietor of the Can-
Held house. Sellon s.iitl nothing of having
upon his pcrsou thtce lettcts written by
him onWcJncsduy , but conllncd himself to
the Consideration of contemplated business
clutions. In some manner the two lost their
bearings , and straied to the corner of Ninth
and Douglas ctteets , when Sellon fell in a
faint. Ho grasped the arms of Mullen in ti
death grip , und begged of him not to lenvo
him. All this time Sellon was conscious , and
spoke hopefully of regaining his strength
ns soon ns the fainting spell
passed over. Mullen suggested
sending for u doctor , but Sellon cntoiod n
dissent saying that ho would bo nil light in n
few miutes. The expected tclicf , however ,
did not cotno nnd in thirty minutes after the
fntnl attack , and before Dr.
Lee , who hnd been sum
moned , ariivcd Sollon bicathed his last in
the arms , us ho had continually tequcstcd , of
Mullen.
Coroner Drevel was notified , and the body
was removed to the moiguo to wher'o
it was followed by Mullen who
was peiceptibl.v gieived by tlio
unfoitunuto affair. As previously stated ,
the letters weio found on the person of the
deceased enclosed In a largo envelope of tlio
Kio G i undo railroad. On the face of this
envelope was written , in a beautiful and linn
hand , the following : *
"In ciiso of death notify nnd dollver this
scaled to J. S. Mullen , grocer , etc. , opposite
Albright's depot , South Omaha. "
This envelope contained three sealed letters ,
ono addressed to Mr. Mullen , ono to Mis.
Edgar M. Sellon , Dcnvoi , Col. , wife of the
deceased , and ono to n lady whoso
nddiess m Denver it hns been consideied
best not to nmko public ) . The letter to Mr.
Mullen is closely written on both sides of
seven pngos , nnd cmbruces directions ns to
the disposition to be uiudo of the remains of
the wi ittir , together with some poetry und
personal t cminisccnces , nnd a sermon to bo
deliverad by A. T. Mills , n personnl friend of
the deceased nnd n benediction to bo pro
nounced at the grave. Mullen is requested
to huvo the body cmbulmed nnd forwmded to

member In good standing und holds an insur
ance on his lift ) . The dead limn admonishes
Mullen to sco that bib wishes uro carried out
fo the letter , nnd begs that "no praying ,
preaching or damned foolishness
will bo permitted at the gravo. "
To this ho adds : "I iwbtivoly

and benediction which follows was written

humanity , SSI.VH the lobtoa Horahl. Ho
wears two studs in his shirt front now ,
and hisoo.it collar lapolsmroof dull silk.
Tlio length of his coat tails mi ht bo
designated as * bobby , ' ' but lux waist-
ooat is buttoncil rather hiuiior than it
was last winlor ; his tie iiidiratc's onius ,
ami genius unadorned at that , for not a
juvvoloil jiin of any sort relieves il.s im-
maeulatoiH'.s- , . Putty ooloiod gloves
without stitehlng on the back , are worn ,
and ho can ios a cane with an omlKHsod
