A couple of men were arrested by Olllcer

MissOk'ott in the inicipretatlon of this char
acter has won her a national reputation. The
opera house should bo crowded both eve
nings.
The sidewalk in front of the new lire
house on Broadway was laid with a gradual
slope from the door to the gutter. When it
was sheeted with ice the slope was anything
but gradual. This was provocative of em
phatic remarks which frequently shocked the
unaccustomed ears ot the lire laddies. Toob-
vlato this the walk has been taken up and
relaid level. But it seems too bad that the
new walk should have been put two Inches
higher than the adjoining walks.

The transfer drK | > t w a the scene of nn in
teresting domestic denouement Wednesday
evening , a brief account of which appeared
In yesterday's Bin : . When the Union Pa
cific train arrived a tall , fine-looking man
alighted , and was effusively greeted by a
pretty brunette , who had been awaiting the
arrival of the train. The pair entered the
Pacillc hotel and registered as Joseph John
son and wife , Columbus , Nob. No special
notice was taken of them and they soon re
tired to their room. The first intimation of
anything wrong was the arrival of another
stranger , accompanied by Olllcer Kose. The
man was greatly excited and gave very em
phatic utterance to the most sanguinary
threats against some one who had eloped
with his wife. U was evident that there was
going to be something a little out of the ordi
nary run of affairs , for they went to the
door of room Ct > , which the couple were
occupying , and rapped for admittance.
After considerable delay the door was
opened , but the man appealed to be the only
occupant of the room. Ho was Inclined to
be rather indignant at being disturbed of his
rest while simply stopping at a hotel. Bo
denied having a woman In the room and
coolly watched the visitois as they prose
cuted a search of the picmiscs. On opening
a closet door they found the object of their
search squee/cd into a corner , clad in her
"slumber robe. " The outraged husband
was very demonstrative at first and ex
pressed his dcsiro to wreak summary
vonganco upon both the erring ones ( hut was
liroventcd by the officer from executing it.
The parties dressed hurriedly and were con
veyed to the police station and mi Informa
tion Illed against them by the husband. The
three were placed in a room in the second
story of the building , as they wished to hold
a private session. What transpired In that
room is known only to themselves , but the
bloodthirsty avenger who went into the room
came out a meek and loving husband. Bo
declared that ho "loved his dai'llng five times
better than ever and was happier than when
ho was first married. " Bis appearance in
the first act of the drama wus slightly "olT '
hut in the last it verged on Imbecility. It
wus plain to see that ho felt fur more affec
tion ror his wife than she did for him. When
ho announced that he would dismisM the case
and take her home with him , the officer ncnin
interfered and told him that an order from
the court would have to be obtained. The
rejoicing husband vqwcd that he would overcome - ,
como all obstacles and started out to get the
necessary article , .ludgo Aylesworth was
sound asleep , but was routed out of bed and
made out the paper giving the man posses
sion of his own wife. After claiming his
derelict spouse ho took her to the Pacific
house and registered as E. II. Myers und
wife , Cedar Kujmls.
The other aspirant for the lady's affections
went to the Bcchtele hotel and put up for the
night. In the morning all of them left on the
curly trains for the other side of the"Big
Muddy. " The single man is said to bo a
wholesale liquor dealer. From the appear
ances , the safest way for the married man
will be to tie up his wifeforsho seems to find
the "other fellow" much moro attractive
tlian her lord and master. They will proba
bly make a success of it the next time.

Highly Acres in a Lump.
During the past year a syndicate has been
formed having for its object the purchase of
the eighty acre tract of land known as the
Wright tract , lying between Broadway and
the transfer grounds , just west of Squire's
addition. The names of the persons inter
ested are N. Mcrriatn , George A. Keelinc ,
W. C. Dickey , Joseph Samuels , F. B. Bill ,
John N. Baldwin , C. Baldano and E. II.
Odcll. The tract was owned bv Bon. George
F. Wright , who placed its value at SjO.lXX ) .
The details of the sale were arranged several
months ugo , but for reasons best known to
themselves the sale was not known until it
appeared upon the records yesterday.
This is the largest and in some respects the
most important deal that has bceu nuulo
hero in years. It proves the prophesy true
that that portion of the realty of the city will
bo in demand ut good figures , unit that in a
short time. What disposition will bo made
of the tract has not yet been determined by
the purchasers. That it will prove a profita
ble investment no one can doubt.

Correspondence Boston Transcript :
Just now my eye fell upon u strange
sight. A Greek priest wns walking
along the street , and following him wus
u bier , borne by four men. They were
passing rapidly ulong. As soon us they
arrived ut my guit they halted , nnd the
four pall-beurcrs luid their burden on
the ground. The priest then begun to
chant u service in Sluvic. Ho swung
bis arms und bis head , meanwhile his
, -oico now going up to u very high pitch ,
low down to tbo lowest possible note he
: ould reach. His cbunting lasted for
. > erhups live minutes. Ho wus rnjrgcd
ind dirty. His huge but , once bluck ,
uul , by the action of tbo sun , and by
ijjo , und by dirt , ussiiinedu dirty-brown
ish color. Ho wus somcwhut un-
iler the influence of wine. The
'our ' pull-bourers were very dirty ,
but not rugged. The bier wus hardly
deserving the nnmc. Any New Englnnd
farmer could make u better one witb un
: ixo und saw in half u day. Upon this
was spread u beuvy gray blanket. On
the blanket lay the body of the dead
man , dressed in tbo clothes in which bo
tiad been taken sick. Over bis body
wus sprcud u dirty white cotton cloth' .
Not u mourner followed. Only u
drunken priest und u rude bier und four
men to hour it. The grave wus u little
more than u hole in the ground. It was
both shallow nnd irregularly dug. Into
this wus thrown the body of u man who
hud lived nnd died and now was thus
buried. The object of stopping und
performing a sort of service here und
there , passing through tbo streets on
the way to the burial , is to pray all men
that , since the man is dead , nil will
forgive him whutever they may have
hud nguinst him. No collin , no
mourner ; no father's grief , no mother's
tear ! While such tire not very com
monly seen , they uro not very uncom
mon.
A Dastardly Business.
Winnipeg Free Press : A number of
the conductors on .the Cududiun Pacific
have got themselves into trouble.
Some' ti mo ngo u spotter passed nUmg
the line and caught eight conductors
between North bay und Vancouver.
His method of acting tbo spy wus a con
temptible one. Ho mas u middle-aged ,
bickly mun , und bo represented himself
us an old conductor who bud no money
and broken down in health. Ho suid
he was trying to reach the Pucilic
coast und appealed to tbo various con
ductors us be mot them * to puss him
along us un net of kindness to un old
brother conductor. Touched by bis
pitiful story und evident distress , the
conductors yielded to bis earnest re
quests und let him ride free. All the
conductors who so befriended him were
reported ; four have already been dis
charged , and four more will also , it is
buid , bo similarly treated. This is said
to bo the only charge nguinst these
men , und there is considerable indigna
tion felt at tbo bcvcro punishment
meted out.
Train Telegraphy.
Engineer : A few duys since on Lc-
higb Valley train No. 12 u lady passen
ger became suddenly und seriously ill
when tbo train was about fifteen min
utes west from Perth. At 4:53 : p. in.
tbo train operator dispatched a message
to Dr. Shannon , of Flemington , who
mot the train ut the junction , 5:14 : , nnd
administered to the patient while the
train bowled ulolig to Euston. The
train telegraph was also used success
fully in providing u carriage for tbo
sick lady on her nrrivnl , and u locomo
tive to convoy tbo doctor back to bib
home.
