In the hands of the construction company and
may bo formally turned over to the Train-

in the company's house on Twentieth and
Harncy streets , The former nre large ,
roomy , with cushioned softs and backs , and
perforated roofs for purposes of ventilation.
They are brilliantly lighted , with high panels
of colored glass In frames outside on the roof.
On thcso panels arc blown the names of the
streets , Hnrney and West Dodge , on which
the car will run. There arc two moans of
signaling for a stop , a bell and "telephone , "
the latter being worked by a strap within the
reach of every passenger , which , when
pulled , produces a sound us the exhaust In a
dry well pipe of small diameter. In the
middle , on one side , is a stove Ilrmly braced
and surrounded by a non-conducting shield ,
which will enable a passenger to sit
near the lire without being over-heated.
These cars nro positively the flnestcver made
In Stcphenson's. On the outside they are of
a rich golden color , beautifully glided. In
front of each wheel is a patent attachment
which will prevent parties who may fall
under the car from being run over.

CAUGHT A SUCK ONE.
ClitxrlcH Hall , Confidence Man nnd
Swindler , Neatly Captured.
The arrest of Charles Hull by Ofllccr Hor.
rlgan yesterday checks for a while a scries of
daring games played by n sleek confidence
man in this vicinity for the last two weeks-
There are several offenses charged to his ac
count , but the one for which ho was arrested
Is for swindling J. T. Olives , a merchant
tailor of Council Bluffs , out of n new overcoat ,
and pair of pantaloons. Hall had taken the
clothes to his room , pretending to bo getting
the money to pay for them , and while Mr.
Oliver's clerk was waiting for him at the
loot of the stairs , ho disappeared down the
back way and was not seen again until taken
bock by Deputy Marshal Galvin ycstciday.
The clothes wcro still in his possession , lint
this is only ono of his side games. The first
that Is known of him in this putt of the coun
try was the victimizing of a gentleman on his
way to Omaha by pretending ho was
ex-Mayor Uoyd. of this city. By this
means ho secured some 300 or $400. In this
gaino ho was comparatively wife , us ho does
not look unlike Mr. Boyd. A week ago Sun
day , by masnuoruding as a freight agent , ho
helped Frank Quirk swindle a greeny named
William Rolling out of $100 , by the old bunk
. check racket. Hall seemed to be ready for
operations hero as ho had two rooms in dif
ferent parts of the city. Ho was captured at
the ono at G3U Pleasant street. On Hall's ' per
son was found $7fi in moneythree $1.000 bonds ,
ono on the Grand Island water worksanother
on Big Springs precinct , and the third nn
Omaha paving bond , besides blank checks on
nearly all the prominent cities of Iowa. Ne
braska , Missomi and Minnesota. After
.bcing.givcn a hearing before Judge Berka ho
was turned over to the Council Bluffs author
ities.
Duck In Council Bluffs.
[ couxcn , m.urrs couiiusrosnnNcn. ]
, Charles Hall , who was arrested in Omaha ,
was brought to Council Bluffs yesterday by
Deputy Marshal Galvin ana put in the city
Jail. Ho was instantly recognized by William
Pollen/ , the German , as the man who , as the
accomplice of Frank Quirk , helped conlid'ineo
him out of $100. The trail that led up to his
discovery la interesting. Mr. Oliver , whom
Hull defrauded , was in the Bin : oflleo
Wednesday evening and gave the whole
history of the transaction by which ho
was the loser. Among these who
heard the story was Clmrlpy Allen , of
this city. In the course of narration , Mr.
Oliver stik l that the fellow spoke of his
partner Jim. " The effect 61 iiiia Mntcmunt
upon Mr. Allen was electrical. Ho said , "I
will bet $51 can put my hand on him by to
morrow noon. "
"All right , " replied Mr. Oliver , "have him
arrested and I will give you $25. "
Allen then guvo u perfect description of
the man , nnd said that ho had formerly
boarded at the same house with him , and had
afterward run across him In Omaha at a
jpluco where he had a room. The pluco ho
aid was No. 540 Pleasant street , but ho re
quested the Br.K man not to publish the loca
tion until after the urrcst. Ycstcraay morning -
ing Allen toldhls story to Marshal Guunnella ,
and on officer was ordered to accompany him
to Omaha. The services of Ofllccr Horrignn
wcro secured on that side , and the party pro
ceeded to the pluco named , and the man was
found with the clothes in his possession.
Ho denied all intention of defrauding Mr.
Oliver and offered to como across and settle
the matter. As soon as ho was on this side
of the river Deputy Marshal Galvin read his
warrant nnd put the bracelets on him.
Pollcnz is ready to swear that Quirk and
Hall arc the two men who worked him , and
there seems to bo no doubt but what they are
the men who have been turning all the confi
dence tricks lately in the vicinity of the
transfer , nnd on the trains between this city
and Omaha. They Imvo been remarkably
successful in working their victims and keep
ing clear of the police. Their favorite method
was that old , old check scheme , and the largo
supply found on Hall , Is n strong link of cir
cumstantial evidence. Hall is a very Iluont
talker , and is well posted on all important
topics In various parts of this country , and
also In Europe. Ho has evidently traveled
extensively , nnd is possessed of qualifications
that niako him ono of the most successful
confidence men that has ever bqthercd the
police in this section. In conversation with
a BHK reporter ho studiously avoided all ref
erence to his case , but spoke freely on othei
subjects. The arrest of these parties is un
important event in police circles hero. It
was ull brought about by that ono llttlo allu
sion to "my partner Jim. " Pollcnz is sc
much elated over the arrest that ho cannot
conceal his enjoyment , and now talks freely
of the swindling. Hall will Imvo u hearing
before Judge Aylcsworth to-day.

Those ConlllotluK Companies.
Mr. Thurston , ono of the attorneys for the
iorso railway company , in the contest be
tween that corporation and the cnblo tram
way company , which came up be
fore Judge Brewer in Lcavcnworth , said it
was rot true , as reported , that that gentle
man had refused the injunction sought by
the horse railway company. Neither was an
argument advanced in thd e-wp. The coun
sel simply handed up their papers and the
same were received by the judge , who will
examine them and doubtless render an
opinion in a few days. In the supplemental
bill filed , the horse railway company among
other things shows the reckless manner in
which thn tramway company had cut its
tracks and the dangcrons condition in which
the same people had left various parts of the
lino. The question which will bo heard at
the next meeting of the United States circuit
In this city will bo the ratification or rejec
tion by Judge Brewer of the damages as
sessed against the tramway company nnd in
favor of the horse railway company by the
commission appointed for that puruosc u

Since its commencement quite a chungo lias
been effected in the section of the poor farm
on which the building is to stand. A great
deal of grading has been done besides the
excavation for the basement , the two features
costing ? 15,000. The brick and stone work
has cost $ ! ri,000. The total of 10,000 has
been paid out to the contractors , llyun &

The Italian's KCVCIIRC.
Roscoe Mezzo , an Italian embassador , who
ekes out an attenuated existence by twang
ing nn old catnrrluil harp around In the dena
and dives , entered John Cumlng's saloon on
Thirteenth near Howard street ,
and insisted on tearing the "Last Rosa ol
summer" to pieces for the benefit of u lot ol
holiday loungers gathered about the place.
The proprietor was full of business , and in
no humor to listen to the melancholy strains
of Flotow's immortal song , nnd ho throw the
son of sunny Italy , harp and all , into the
street. Tills was something , however , that
Mez7o's tropical blood would not brook , and
ho throw all his worldly hopes , his harp ,
through the plate gluss window , smashing it
into a thousand atoms , and entailing a loss
upon Mr. Cumings something like $55 ,
Mezzo will now play "Tho Lust Hosoof Rum

for a period of forty days.

An Ohintin Dotcctfro BfttUfftd That
HcrviH Wns the At an.
The UBB n few days ago published all
the facts relating to' the orre t In itaw Vork
byPinkerton detectivesof & .C. Scrvls , ullos
"llev. D. B. Browns , " the slloit 'embezzler
who worked Mr. Pcrslnger , of the Central
City National bcnk in this state , for about
tl.fiOO. It also chronicled the passage through
this city of the swindler In charge of W. I.
Wclbusky. the detective who had arrested
him , nnd finally the arrival of the party and
Identification of Browns In the city where ho
had worked his game. After this Identification
the people wcro hardly prepared for the an
nouncement which two days later was tele
graphed from Central City , that Servls was
not the man who had swindled thu bank.
Yesterday n Br.u reporter asked u well-
known and successful iletectivo how the
Pinkcrton man could have made such u mis
take. The detective had evidently been think
ing over the subject , because ho Instantly re
plied : "There is no doubt nt all but that
Scrvls was the man who was wanted. But
he Is us smart us any of them , and ho just
talked himself out of It. If ho wcro not
the man , he never would have been Identified
so unanimously and so unhesitatingly for so
many houis after his arrival in that city.
Neither would ho have consented
to going with n detcctlvo nearly
two thousand miles , when ho
might have easily availed himself of the safe
guards which the law throws about every
citizen nnd permits him to secure such delay
us would enable any Innocent man to prove
his innocence. 1 have other reasons for en
tertaining this opinion , which I do not wish
to state , bull don't think j'ou will ever hear
of another party being arraigned for Brown's
offense. "
A naipoiTANn VIADUCT.
The Old Subject of tlio Tenth Street
Depot Revived.
Some time ago when Mr. Callawny , then of
the Union Pacific road , suggested the closing
of Tenth street by a now dejwt , and building
the viaduct on Eleventh street , there was
expression given immediately to n great deal
of dissatisfaction by people who wore not in
favor of the project. It seems , however , that
there is now a move on foot to secure the con
sent of the property holders along the street ,
with a view to convey lug the same to Presi
dent Adams to encourage him in building the
depot. The representation made is that the
people on South Tenth street desire to preserve -
servo that thoroughfare for residences. It
has been stated that n paper has been
circulated for signatures of owners of
the property interested and favoring tno
scheme , and It is claimed that a number of
signatures have been secured. ' It haa been
even announced that Mr. Kountze , who Is the
largest property owner on the street , favored
the closing of the thoroughfare by n depot.
Ho was seen by a Bnn reporter yesterday
and asked if ho favored the building
of a depot across Tenth street. Ho said that
he was not in favor of the scheme unless it
could bo carried out nnd still not interfere
with the truffle of the street. The depot
coul'l IKS erected , but the viaduct could run
through it as viauUct ? do in other cities , Joav-
ing plenty of room beneath them for the
passage of trains. Such an arrange
ment , of course , bethought would mar the
symmetrical appearance of the interior of the
depot , but It would enable the business of the
street to bo maintained. Ho was opposed to a
depot except under these conditions.

Looking for a Home.
County Agent MuhoncyWho heard Wednes
day that it was proposed to'send to his care ,
or the care of somebody at the poor house ,
the baby found on the steps of Justice Read's
residence on last Tuesday ovcnin- , said that
the little waif would have to bo taken to the
homo of the friendless at Lincoln , because head
ad no person to take care of foundlings nt
, ho poor farm. Nurses wcro especially [ pro
idcd for such purposes at the Lincoln
ome , nnd there the infant would have to go.
The abandoned little ono having failed
0 find u refuge in the judges home ,
, t the police station , or the Child's hos-
iltal , she will bo compelled to turn her llttlo
lyes toward the capital , unless in the mcun-
ime some charitably disposed family should
. rncludo to adopt her.
LVTIII : Since the above was put in typo it
has been learned that the baby was sent to
Lincoln. Some clue has also been found to
.Is heartless mother. She stopped at the Oc
cidental hotel on the night that she deposited
; hc little ono on the judge's steps , leaving n
bapgago check it is supposed for a trunk by
way of payment for her supper nnd lodging.
She disappeared next morning before the
baby was missed and it is thought left town ,
having evidently come hero to dispose of her
oftbpring.

OMAHA , Neb. , Dec. 20. To the Sport-
ng Editor of the BEE : I would
iko to ask you to give my views
n your valuable paper concerning the
middle-weight championship of Nebraska.
There was a gold medal donated by Richard
K. Fox to bo contested for by the middleweights -
weights of the state of Nebraska. It was
contosted'iC ! ' December 5 and won by John
Kcllett. Jim Lindsay challenged Kellett , the
match to take place at Boyd's opera house
December 23. Kcllett was there. Ho could
not defend his title to the medal , having in-
flanmtory rheumatism. Lindsay claimed the
medal without sparring for it. After much
talk Mr. William Hcnnesey wanted to spar
Lindsay for the medal. Lindsay objected to
this , and wanted to fight Kellett and nobody
else. Finally , after being promised by the
self-appointed referee that ho should have the
modal anyway he concluded to meet Hcnnesey.
Li ml bay weighed 140 pounds nnd Hen-
nessoy tipped the beam nt 155 < 4 pounds.
Lindsay then made u short speech showing
that ho was handicapped fifteen and ono half
pounds after advertising himself as u light
weight and challenging u middle-weight in
order to create all the sympathy in the house
in his favor.
Klllett is as heavy as Hennessey but Lind
say preferred lighting u fcick man instead of
u healthy ono of the same weight. Hen-
ncssy knocked and chased Lindsay around
the stage in great style , Lindsay was
driven in every corner , but his faithful ref
eree would order him to lot Hennessey out.
A race course should boas near round as i > s-
slblo and suvo the re force the trouble of fol
lowing the men around the ring and bogging
to let his favorite out of danger. Mr. Fallen
had tuKcn the responsibility of appointing
himself us referee on both occasions
when the medal had been contested
for. I hava seen spurring exhibitions for the
last thirty years , from Tom livers time down
to the present day , but thsalT.iir ! , last night
was the most unfair and disgraceful ono that
1 Imvo ever witnessed. A lew moro such ex
hibitions llko this will settle the sorting fra

LOOKING BACK
Upon the year just cloning we cannot help expressing onr deep gratification at the result. It has
been the most satisfactory since we are in businessand has far overreached our most sanguine
expectations. We pride ourselves that this result is mainly due to our style of doing business ]
and to our efforts to give the people at all times the most value for their money. Perfect satis *
faction must go with every sale made in our establishment. If we have failed to please in '
single instance , we are always anxious to repair. The people should know that they can comate
to us with the utmost confidence and rely on being treated fair. Our advantages are many andD
our methods are right , and cannot be excelled. The steady growth of our business from a.
small beginning to its present vast proportions proves that the people appreciate such meth *
ods. We are thankful for past favors , and are sure to give more every year.
Prior to our annual inventory , we will offer this week , several notable bargains which we
can confidently say will be the greatest we have offered during the past year. Some of the beat ?

Iront. These goods we sold all season for $2.25 ; we have marked them down to $1.50. The

pen to take so well. We guarantee them to be as good goods as are sold in other houses
