W : Hartley Campbell's romantic Irish drama , "My Geraldine , " will commence a three days' engagement at the ( It-anil opera house on Thmsday evening , January \ " . The plot is ono of much beauty and the constitution is such Unit its situations are u seiics of strong surprises. A plentiful supply of the comedy element is introduced and tends to increase its amusing qualities. It is under- Btood that a feature Is made of the musical portion of the program. The play is replete with songs and pleasing accompaniments. Among these are several songs that have been written to cspecliily fit the action of the play "Grandpa's Lullaby" by Mr. Harrison , and "Papa , Sweet Manm rnd Me1' sntiy bo mentioned us the most buccessful. The company , It is paid , Is ono of much ability. Mrs. Dion Houclcault ( Agnes Robertson ) fills the lead Ing role. She will bo pleasantly remembered as the KIley O'Connor in the presentation of Boueieutilt's "Colleen Bawn. " and also by her performance in several of the leading roles in his different plays. The attraction is.n now one to our people but from its success elsewhere , it bids fair to become ono of our dramatic favorites. TWO jcnw nniMVXrrous. .

Brown. | The following concerning tbo failure of Brown , Parkburst & Co. . of South Onuilm , mentioned in yesterday's Hnr. , was bunded in by Mr. W. P. Brown last evening : OMn v , Jan. " . To the Editor of tbo Bnn : I desire to correct n few statements that ap- penrod in your paper Inst night , entitled "Charged With fraud. " In regard to the failure of Brown , Parkburst & Co. , the , linn was originally known as W. F. Brown iSc Co. . and was composed of W. P. Brown and George S. Brown. This linn did business six months before any other commission house was established in South Omaha , nnd contin ued under this name until March , lisb" . The expenses of the firm were very heavy , owing to the light receipts of stock , the advertising and other things necessary for the establish ment of u business of this kind at a now point. The business was continued at a con siderable loss until January , 1SS7 , when for the first time the success of the venture was assured. About this time Mr. 11.-B. Parkburst. of Grand Island , Neb. , having done business with the firm for some time pat , noticed the improvement and conceived the idea of con necting himself with the firm , and while I was in Chic.iro on husincss" it Was proposed by George S. Brown ( thethon Junior member ot the firm ) that the partnership bo dissolved and another formed with Mr. Parkhurst. On my return from Chicago I found that the dissolution of the firm of VV. P. Brown & Co , had already been largely adveitlsed without my sanction or knowledge , injuring me considerably in a business Way. I could do nothing more thanallowitho dissolution to become a matter of fact on account of tbo manner it had been advertised. In order to conciliate all parties concorncd , 1 agreed to become n member of Hits firm of Brown , Parkburst & Co , provided 'tho indebtedness ofV. . P. Brown and Co. would bo assumed by the now firm. Mr. Purkhurst was fully Informed of this Indebtedness before be became a member of the new firm , and an agreement was then en tered into that each member was to put $1,000 into the business within ten days. I immediately arranged to provide f9r my portion , but declined to pay it in until Gcorpo S. Brown had fulfilled his part of the agreement in this respect. Shortly after I called Mr Parkhursls attention to the fact that Gcorgo S. Brown nad failed to pay in his money , he then being the senior member of the now linn instead of myself. Mr. Pmkhurst paid little or no attention to the nutter. The management of the busi ness was assumed by George S. Brown and D. S. Pnrkhurst almost entirely nnd bo con tinued until the failure of tbp firm.

In regard to the ] iont ! raised by Mr. Park- burst in tbo article referred to , in regard to the check for $1..0 , it was given before I was awaru that the checks of the llrm would not bu honored. In regard to tbo ? T > , flOO borrowed of Andrew Haas , this was an other transaction of my partner.1 done without my knowlrdcw or sanction , while I was absent. During the whole time Mr. Pnrkhurst was a member of the linn I have only overdrawn ? JM instead * 3,7UO us ho alleges. What Mr. Pnrkhurst may have overdrawn since he entered the Una I have no knowl edge. Instead of Mr. ParUhurst's coining hero to Investigate lie was already aware of the llnancial condiditon of the linn and had been cognUantof the same for some time ; having managed the business with Geo. S. Brown all along. This completely reputes tbo charge to the effect that I am responsible for the failure of the linn. Instead of my being in collusion with Goo. S. lirown to rob Mr. Paikhurst , I have been robbed of both business and credit by their management of the business of the llrm. W. F. U now.v. Klccllnn of Ollleors.

A half-breed Indian has taken pos cs- Mon of a trnct of land near Terry villo , N. Y. , and inbihth upon living there. IIo feiiys ho owns the land , because bin fath ers of the Pequot tribe never MIITOII- dored their title to it. IIo has resifetod all oll'ortb to maUo him move on , has bhot dogs that have been sot on him , and hiij-h that ho will defend his right to the woodb with bib rillo against all comerd. _ . In the sleigh of .Tames Uanldn , which was found near Hroken How , Nob. , were his remains , with the reins held firmly in his right hand. Ho had gene hunt ing , and his gun having .slipped from the beat was discharged , the entire load en tering his heart. The Hash had f-et his clothing on lire , and it was all burned elf , with the exception of his overshoes and the feet of bib felt boots. A taltlcsiiak , ) was discovered carry ing off a half-grown turkey near Wnu- keonah , Flu. , nnd two dogs were set upon it. It t-trudc both animals : uul both died , but the poor turkey was released - leased unharmed , which is proof that Minkos do not poUon their own food. The fciiako killed was six font bovcn inches long and had fifteen rattles. It is reported from France that the raining of the bounty on wolvcfa has had the effect of stopping the inorenso , which live vcars ago became u fcorious matter.

As the ground Is covered with MIOW a thorough Inspection la Impossible ; the same trouble Is liable to oc cur on cuts made In August , September and October of the same , \ ear. It has been almost impossible to get the cuts nindo In eediir block pavements repaired ulitll recently nrrangeincnts having been made at the suggestion of the chairman of the board of public works whereby the repaying may bo done in a substantial manner. Since the SMb of .July. 1 7. there has been eleven aire.sts fur violation of ordinance 1-TJO. Ono ease was dismissed , thu remaining ten wcto assessed in lines and costs $ uv.i. I would respect fully callyour attention to Iho fact that ordinance U'0duos not specify clearly enough the manner in which plumbing - ing should be done In order to comply with sanitary rules and regulations that should govern a class of work of such vital import. Also some regulations ought to bo inado which would remedy faulty work done before - fore ordinance 1-C.JO was passed. I find numerous cases where homes in which many pel sons live are hut reeking cesspools , the foul emanations from which contaminate not only the premises where such eases occur , but Iho Mirrciunding neigh borhood Is made unlit to live In. 1 also Dial in some line lestdcnees where health is a first consideration that the deadly sewer gas is woiklng its Insidious way al most unnoticed by the occupants , bec.msu they l > ocomo used to the smell. And they nro only miulo nw.iro of tlio trouble by Its effects on the general health on the inmates. All of the trouble could bo avoided by a thorough Inspection and the adoption of rules that would compel owneis of buildings to no the plumbing in strict conformity with san itary rules and regulations. A great deal more might'he said on this subject , but 1 respectfully submit the fore going. KomniT 1) . IH'Ne.vx , Inspector of Plumbing.
