Ycstcnlny Augustus Pratt nnil Jc o
Lnccy , both well known In this city were ns-
slgnrd to a room In the basement of the
county building as the representatives of the
Oraalm Associated liurcnu of Chnntlcs ,
which It will bo remembered was organized n ,
few weeks ngo. The room opens oft thut In
which County Atfent Mtihoney distributes
his supplies to the needy i > oor who arc the
wards of the county.
Mr. Pratt was nuked by a Hr.n reiwrtcr
what ho projtoscd to do In his new
situation , and frankly admitted that
he did not know. They had but Just
opened ofllcc and it would require several
dnys In which to reully iliid out what they
would bo expected to do under the constitu
tion of their association. The latter , ho
claimed , was not intended to distribute
money , fuel or provisions , but simply to find
out who wcro applicants for relief , and who
were receiving assistance from church nnit
benevolent societies and thus prevent people
from getting relief from sovcral sources.
Mr Pratt said ho would remain in the offlco ,
perhaps , about a montli and that Mr. Laccy
was really the paid officer of the bureau , and
would bo known as the assistant secretary.
Mr. Laccy was afterwards seen and re
quested to bo not asked for Information as to
what ho was going to do in connection with
the bureau for several days , and then re
peated In substance what Mr. Pratt had said
as above synopsi/cd.
Till ! COUNTY'S TVOIIK.
County Agent Mahoncy told the BEE re
porter that the object of the bureau was an
excellent ono because it was intended to pre
vent imposition upon the public as wcH as
private means of assistance. He Instanced a
case which , if the bureau had been In opera
tion , never would have taken place.
It was that of u family on Lcavemvorth
street which had first been aided by benefi
cent people , and which later collected a
goodly sum by begging on the streets , later
appealing to u couple of charitably inclined
people in the western part of the city , and
ntlll applying to a gentleman who has charge
of the deposition of the charity fund of well
known and wealthy citircns of Omaha , and
finally endeavoring to bilk the county out of
coal and other supplies , when the family had
already been well provided for by means of
their duplicity. Mr. Mahoncy , however ,
learned of their hypocrisy and refused the
old needed by others.
The county agent says that ho has now on
his roll of needy people about ono hundred
and seventy-five families , with the condition
of each of which he is personally acquainted.
Ho asserts that there is not ono of those who
is not worthy of the assistance they receive
every Friday , though the amount given to
all of them thus far this season has not been
so great as it was up to the sumo tlmo ono
year ago. The reason assigned for this Is
that the weather this season has not been so
inclement as It was at this time last year ,
COMMITTED OX UIIAKITIES.
"Wo" [ the board of commissioners ] , said
Commissioner O'ICcefo , yesterday to a
IJin : rejKirtor , and the statement was verified
by Commissioner Mount , "after the opening
Of the now year , shall organize sovcral new
committees , ono will be on the hospital and
Jail , another on roads and bridges , and a
third on charity. Wo can easily form these
committees because then the board will con
sist of five men. Three of these could bo
well employed in checking up the
treasurer's accounts at the proper
tlmo ; thq others could put in their
time examining into the worthiness of the
applicants for relief during the winter from
the county. If wo had such a committee now
Wo should not have the attempts to defraud
the county , as are often nrndo but not suc
cessful. "
'Mr. O'ICcofo then , by way of illustration ,
told the episode above alluded to in which the
Leavonworth street family were so unscru
pulously successful in their imposition upon
charitable people.
A Generous Offer.
, To the Editor of the Ur.n : Wo arc com
pelled to notice that many families in the city
nro living in tents and shanties which are
absolutely unlit for habitation. Yet there
ore more than the ordinary numborof vacant
houses. Without doubt many of these people
are brought to such u condition by circum
stances over whicli they had no control. No
doubt many who have vacant houses would
bo willing to allow them to bo occupied by
deserving people during the winter.
If in some way n committee shall bo
selected which will assume the responsibility
of seeing to It that the most deserving arc
aided , I will bo ono , of any number you inny
designate , who will tender to such committee
n good house , rent free , till March 1. The
liouso wHl accommodate two small families.
If you consider the proposition feasible and
worthy you know best how to put it in mo
tion. J. W. KLLUU.
Cars Delayed.
Yesterday morning about 11:30 : o'clock a
balky horse attached to ono of tho"Ucds"com-
mcnccd to dance a Jig in the vicinity of
Boyd's opera house , Just when the driver
endeavored to impel him Into a gallop. The
driver was unsuccessful , and finally 'the
equine cloggist was unhitched and another
animal substituted. Before this was done
nearly half an hour elapsed , and as a consc-
quciico a number of delayed street cars of
nearly all the lines , reaching to Twelfth
street , was stretched along Farnam street.
Another dancing horse did excellent torpsl-
chorenu work on Thirteenth street yester
day evening , and enabled the passengers to
warm themselves by shoving the car from
behind.
The Injured "Hill Boy. "
Superintendent Smith of the horse car
line told a UEB reporter that the young man ,
Hans Hanson , who was yesterday Injured on
South Thirteenth by a street car on that
thoroughfare , was not run over by the
wheels. In fact , ho was only bruised slightly ,
because no was nblo to walk uw.iv after the
accident. The car-plow was down at the
time , so that there was no possibility of his
getting under the wheels.
Off For Home.
County Agent Mahoney yesterday sent
Donald Forbes to Now York , whence- the
latter will take the steamer to Liverpool on
bis way homo to tils father , who Is a clergy-
roan In Loch Cairn , Scotland. This young
man , several months ago became an inmate.
of the poor house , and was found there after
his father had cabled Postmaster Gallagher
to ascertain whether or not the young man
was in this vicinity. Slneq the discovery the
young follow has been slowly convalescing ,
though It Is not believed that ho will sur
vive very long. On Monday last Mr. Mahoncy
received a money order from the young
man's father to defray the young fellow's
passage to his homo. Ho also received $25
from Max Meyer , who was written by a
friend of young Forbes1 to advance the latter
that sum , but with the proviso that the name
of the owner should not bo mentioned. With
these funds the young man will bo able to
reach homo in comparatlvo comfort , if his
strength should bo able to withstand the
strain or travel.
No Shucly Hotel.
The project of converting Uio magnificent
Shi'oly building , on the northeast corner of
Fifteenth and Harnoy streets , into u hotel ,
has been abandoned. The proposition to Mr ,
fihccly was made by Dana Tharcr , of Col
orado , son-in-law of the l.jto Henry Haitian ,
and who now runs a couple of hotels in that
state. His offer wa rental of $12,000 per
year nrovldeil the present Interior of the
building , which wni originally for olUces , '
could'bo altered for hotpl purposes' . Mr.
Thayer thought the alteration coulJbo ef
fected , laud so didtho architoctMr. Mcndcls-
oku. Nevertheless , Mr , Tliaycr,1 utter two
woks of consideration , hns concluded that
n ftutjgfiictory alteration could not bo made.
Aa'fonnequencd , Mr. Hhccly has lost two
weeks of the finest weather fo finishing
purpoocB , which would have bcon worth
more to him than t\vo months of weather of
the present kind. The building will now bo
finished for ufllcc * and o | > rned in the spring.

The Condition * * on Which the City

Chairman llalcombn yesterday hung on ono
of the walls of the board of public works the
report of the committee to whom was re
ferred the proposition of T. F. Urennnn , rel
ative to the lowering of the cast wall of the
new city hull. The committee consisted of
Oeorgo C. Whltlock , supcrlntcmlant of
buildings ; St. A. D. llalcombc , chairman
board of public works , and George W. Till-
son , city engineer. They recommend to the
council that the said wall commencing at n
point twenty-six feet from alley wall , bo
lowered to n depth of nub basement wall , and
the concrete to be laid on a level with the
concrete of the HKK Publishing company's
building. The front and Intersecting walls
to be stepped up as ono uud one-half Inches
to one foot ; the concrete base to be the same
width and thickness , and of the same mater
ial as the balance of s.Ud sub-structure.

The Blizzard Kndud In the West and
KtrlkoH the KiiHt.
Once more the signal Indicating the np-
pioaeh of milder weather floats fiom the gov
ernment buildings , and those who faced the
infantile blizzard of Tuesday feel correspond
ingly at case. Inquiry at the signal ofilcc re
vealed the fact that the storm had Its birth
in Manitoba , and on Christmas day was howl
ing through Montana , Dakota and the west
ern territories. It struck Omaha with a
velocity of thirty-two miles per hour on Mon
day , and was followed by a fall In tempera
ture thai registered 14.5 degrees below zero
on Tuesday night. Bismarck and Fort
Buford fared worse , as the tcmi > craturo at
these points fell ' i degrees below , but so far
no casualties have been reported. The wires
of the signal corps worked satisfactorily
throughout , with the exception of Dcudwood ,
Dak. , and Valentine , Neb. , from neither of
which ( Kiints reports have been received.
The railways did not suffer so much as
might have been expected , the B. & M. re
porting only ono freight train snowed nndor
on the Schuylcr branch , and all passenger
trains on time along the main line. The
Union Pacific was equally fortunate , the
greatest delay noted being that of the east
bound flyer , which reached this city from
Ogdcn three hours late. The flyer going west
loft Omaha fifteen minutes late , and by mid
night wasone hour behind time , but nftcrthat ,
piclccd up and Is now running on time. There
were no stops caused by the storm , but the
wind and snow prevented the trains making
schedule time. Yesterday rcpoi Is fromOgden
and all along the line were that the weather
is clear , cold and calm , with everything on
time.
The blizzard , however , is working its way
eastward , striking Chicago at tl a. in. yester
day morning , and delaying trains arriving at
Council Bluffs , which in turn delayed the
starting of the Union Pacific flyer forty mln-
urcs. At Buffalo the thermometer registered
33 degrees above , but the officer in charge of
the signal station predicts a surprise party
for the citizens this morning.
At the hotels a number of the more timid
travellers re-engaged their rooms , and pre
ferred to remain and enjoy the hospitality of
Omaha to facing the dangers of a railroad
trip through u bllz/ard.

To the IV . C. T. U.
TECUMbnn , Neb. , Dec. 20. To the women
of Nebraska and especially the members of
the W. C. T. U. : There is to be held in Wash
ington , D. C. , early in March , n convention of
women to celebrate the foi tleth anniversary
of woman's work. An urgent request comes
from the general officers of the National W.
C. T. U. that wo should bo well represented
ut that meeting , as a state and locally. It is
expected that reduced rates will bo obtained
at the hotels and boarding houses. This will
probably bo the largest meeting of repre
sentative women ever held in this country. I
sincerely hope a largo number from this state
will attend. Yours for the advancement of
women. JEXXIB F. Hor.Mns ,

A Dangerous Accident.
The hydrant on the northwest corner of
Douglas and Thirteenth streets was broken
scveial nights ago by being run into by a
r unaway team. The fact was not discovered
until the engines responded to the alarm of
fire at that corner on last Monday night ,
although the fact of the break was known to
some of the merchants in the neighborhood.
Chief Galllgan's anger was very forcibly ex
pressed when ho learned of the carelessness
of the latter. A now hydraut was substi
tuted yesterday.

RIMUCl.'S WAIL OP WOE.
Samuel Lambert filed an action In divorce
against his wife , Addle , yesterday. Ho sets

Emporla , Kan. , on the 2tlth of March , 18S4 ,
and a year later she deserted him and has
remained apart from him ever since.
County Court.
M'CUM.OCIl'S .
JUDGE MUSY COURT.
A reporter for the BKU had a short talk
with Judge McCulloch yesterday , In which
the latter stated in response to questions that
ho thought the work of his court should bo
divided. Ho was now nearly always en
gaged in civil cases and compelled
to attend to matters of probate almost on the
side. This fact has been well attested in
past months because it is pretty well known
that the pressure of civil cases has compelled
the Judge to du\oto the greater part of his
time hearing them. Tlio opinion is now
pretty generally entertained that the county
court should attend only to matters of probate -
bate because the county has grown to that
degree that this business alone Independent
of civil cases , would suffice to keep a Judge
busy.

Arthur Stewait stole n pair of glo\-cs from
S. Bcrgstrom Tuesday. Ho stated to the

crime because he wus hungry. Judge Bcrkd ,
gave him twenty-five days in the county jail.
