8 -THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : { THURSDAY , FEBRUARY 2 , 1888. A FOOTPAD. Capture of tlio Notorious Jnek Linger , Highwayman. A suspicious character , Hiving the nnmo of Dan Campbell , was nrrestcil Tuesduy nlnht In the stnblo of It. B. Woods , on Cms , be tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. Yes terday , on the nrrlvrtl of Jailer Ormsby nt the Htatlon , ho took his customary glance over the Inmates of the different cages , nnd In Campbell ho recognl/cd John Lager , a man who bus been wanted here for highway robbery over since lust October. As the police nnnitlH go , James McCulpln , of Vale , la. , WHS held up out on North Sixteenth street during the second night of the fair , and robbed of $45 In money nnd n gold watch. From the description given by MtCalpin , Lager wns the man suspected of having done the job. A Sotirch was made for him , but ho had Jumped tlio city , and only returned Tuesday. McCulpIn was notified by tele graph of Lnger's capture , and responded , saying ho would bo hero to iippour against the limn In the morning. More of Mayor llroatch'H Mistaken. The numerous statements presented dur ing the past ten days , showing the loose man ner in which the city's finances worn looked nftcr , hnvo drawn forth from Mayor Uroatch several statements , nearly everyone ono of which have been erroneous and so proven by an examination of the books of the city comptroller. Of course thcbu djs- closures have been anything but pleasant for his honor to peruse and Ilnally he has resorted to a vain attempt of casting rellcctlons upon the reporter , who , acting under Mr. Hose- water's special Insttuctlons , made tin ex amination into tlio city atTairs. In his note ho says : "The mayo/ says that , 'notwithstanding ' his lamentable ignorance of the financial af fairs of the city , " that ho was right and the reporter of the Hr.i : wrong. The actual overlaps on outstanding indebtedness of the llro department , which will have to be made out of the levy of IbbS is * 'J,01 ! . . ' > , to which there muv be some slight additions. " In the Jlrst plnco ( thcro was no "overlap. " Tha definition nf the word used in connec I tions with debits nnd credits Is. that the dis bursements exceed the income. The llro.de partment , as will bo seen by the following statements taken from the books of the comp troller , cost the city 2i.'iI.Ul : ! less during the six months ending December HI , 1SS7 than the amount of the levy , and that the balance was applied to the partial wiping out of nil old debt handed down by u previous administra tion other than that of the present mayor. The statement Is us follows : Levy for six months ending Dee. ill , li > S7 $30,412-30 Amount old hose sold by IIre depart ment 4T.70 Totnl $ : i,4no.M : ) ) Amount expended VIiU.US : Halanco in fund SITS.'JS Overlap from last year $ ll'J02.'jt : Hills on hand not paid O.lMl.iiO Halanco a , ICiO..KJ Hnlancoin fund 1T8.08 Actual gain f2,8.19.91 The above is an nctuul copy from my books. ( J. S. OooDuicii , ( Signed ) ( Jily Comptroller. The mayor started in with the declaration that tno overlap was so great that the depart ment would hnvo to bo decreased fully 50 per cent during the year Ibbl ns the levy was inadequate to meet the expenses. The levy will b > ; made next Tuesday evening nnd if It is the same as for the past dlx months will amount to * a'l,42'J.wi. : Fifty per cent of that amount would bo $10- 721.18. Mayor Hioatch the same as said in the llrst Interview published that the overlap lor 1888 would bo over $ K , IXX ) . Later , in the Herald , after the mayor wns shown to have been woefully mistaken , ho places the llcurcs at $12.000. nnd now ho has dropped to $ ' .I , < H1.'IO , which is correct. His honor , In his note , accuses the reporter f "willfully misrepresenting" him. What docs ho think of the above statements } Mayor Hroatch further says that Comptroller Goodrich denies making the statements credited to him in Saturday's 13ni : . Mr. Goodrich was seen yesterday and emphati cally denies that ho over imido such a denial to the mayor. Ho said that Mr. Uroatch thought that ho was responsible for an interview In which the name of the gentleman interviewed was not given and that was what ho denied being responsible for. How about "willful misrepresentation ? " The subject is an excellent ono and n great deal can bo said upon it. The following para graph is clipped from Saturday's HKB : It is quito likely that the removal of Mr. Baker as superintendent of the city hall will bo made permanent. With respect to tlio Biliary of this gentleman for the months of October , November and December , the mayor says ho did not know of it in advance. The comptroller placed Maker's nnmo in tlio list of employes , and the council passed the appropriation. If this statement made by the mayor docs not show lamentable ignorance , then it must bo "willful misrepiTsation. " Comptroller Goodrich threw Maker's name out of the gen eral appropriation ordinance and is Indignant that Mr. Hroatch should make this accusation against him. The books of the comptroller Bhow that Mr. Halter's salary of fl'J'.l.US ' for the thrco months mentioned nbovo wns ul- lowed-ln the amendments to n special ordi nance passed by the council nnd approved by the mayor. If the reporter was wrong and the mayor correct \yliy do both of the other morning dailies ridicule the mnyor's statements as foolish and untrue. If the mayor Is not lamentably Ignorant con cerning city linanccswhy are $ , r > 0iOO , ( worth of warranty deeds , for land sold by the city to private individuals , permitted to Ho in the ofilco of the city treasurer when by enforc ing the payment of them the general fl id would bo greatly Increased I These deeds uro for strips of land sold to property owners on streets which were narrowed. Yet the mayor , ns the executive municipal ofllcor , lets them remain In the treasury uncalled for. There nro several other cases which will be called to his honor's ' attention In the near future. Railroad Notes. > . ' Mil. TOTTKU'S ' UETIItCMKXT. 5- A reporter mot u prominent railroad man 5v v yesterday and the conversation which ensued led to the statement by the latter that Mr. Potter of the Union Pacillc had told a Lin coln friend of his Hint on the 1st of April ho would resign the position of vice president of f the Union 1'acillo nnd ictlro to his stock farm V near HurlinuMon , la. It was n cherished tie- sire of Mr , Potter's , the railroad man claimed , to lay down the burdens of railmad management and tnko up the lesser nnd moreagreonblo ones of pnvato business affairs. This had specially become bt'como the case t'lnco ' Mr. Potter becnmo connected with the Union 1'aulllc , the task which lie has since performed being the most exacting ho ever set himself out to no- complisli. It Is known also that Mrs. Pot tor has been and Is averse to her husband longer continuing In the railroad business , and favors his retirement to their peaceful homo near the city nbovo mentioned , when it is known Mr. Potter has an excel lent farm. The Hiir.'s informant claims fur ther that when Mr. Potter became associated with the Union Paclllo his intention was to remain with it but a corthln length of time , nnd that that period had been shortened by the danger to his health which was occa I sioned by his recent Illness , "because. " said the informant , "Mr. Potter is not a well man r by any means. " A SKW ltOUKI > I10fi : . The now round house of the Union Pacific nt Council Hluffs was opened yesterday.

St. Joseph correspondence , of the Globe-Democrat : A wedding of more interest than is usually attached to events where the parties are so little known occurred to-dno about four miles west of St. Joseph. Tlio contracting parties wcro W. li. 1'otter , living near Denver , Colo. , and Airs. Julia Crumm , who for a few years ptist has made her homo with her brother , Hoary Withers , in Doniphan county , Kansas. Both the pnrtiof arc of middle ago , and hail not been ono another for years until a foxy months ago. When they were children they went to school together in Carroll county , Kentucky , and when I'otter was ayoting man of twonty- ono years and came west lie wan botliro- thed to Julia Withers , who was the belle of tlio neighborhood. Potter wont llrst to Knnsis , and than to the moun tains , returning to visit his old homo twice in live years. On the hist visit it was agreed that the marriage should take place the following spring , by which time ho hoped to have enough money to miiko his homo what ho thought it should bo. Ho returned west and was not heard from for years. Some ono who had known him in the mountains happened to pass through his Kentucky homo and circulated the story of his death , founded upon a rumor , as it afterward appeared. His sweet heart mourned him as dead , and in two years wedded his rival , with whom she lived happily for about eight years. Her husband died in ISSo , when she enmo to Doniphan county to make , hoi homo with her brother , having no children and no nearer relatives in Kentucky. Her husband loft her a considerable fortune , nnd as her forty years biit lightly upon her , she eoon hocamo the center of an admiring circle ot friends. A few months ago Potter cnmo through St. Sosonh , quite accidentally , on his way to Chicago. Ho mot Withers at the union depot , and , what is moat singular , the men knew each other. Explanations followed , and Potter was driven to the pleiiMint country homo o the Withers family IIo mpt his sweet heart of early days , tjijd. 'the old love which had not ceased to'burn in their icarts through Jong years , soon nindo tself felt. The courtship wns com menced where it had been broken off , tnd the two wcro married , leaving this jvenlng lor Air. Potter's home near ) envor. ho strange pnrt of the story Is yet to come. Potter , while working in the nine * , had been accused of murdering lis partner. Nqt.boidg able to estab- ish his innocence' ' nt tno trial , ho wns convicted and the sentence commuted o imprisonment ilor life , several good easons appearing for this. Too proud o Imform his sweetheart or family of lis dlsgarco , he did not write any letters lomo about it , nnd the story of the crime did not reach them. The inur- ler waf committed in a new claim vhich Potter nnd his partner had just > ogun to work in New Alc.xico , and it vns not known thuro what part of the inst ho hud ho come from. After ho had jeon in prison nearly live years a man vho was to bo hanged made nconfession clearly establishing Potter's innocence , iml ho wns released. Ho wont nt once 0 Ghent , Ky. . but found his intended irido was another's. Without making ilnisolf known ho left the place and re- urned to Denver where lie soon amassed 1 considerable fortune by speculations , lo was on his way to Chicago to dispose ) f some property when ho accidentally not his old schoolmate , Henry Withers , n St. Joseph. The wedding is one 01 he inobt , singular , because of the pe- juliar history connected with it , that ins over occurred in this section of the country. - FUhin n llotljjkc. Silver Stnte : There is a pond on the 'My ranch tit Golconda , which is fed by ho waters from the hot springs. This ) end has an area of two or thrco acres , md the temperature of tno water is about 8o = , and in fcomo places where the hot water bubbles up from the bot- om the temperature is almost up to the Killing point. Recently the discovery insbeen made that this warm lake is iterally alive with carp , some of which ire more than a foot long. All efforts o catch them with a hook and line uivo failed , as they will not touch tlio nest tempting bait. A few of them nive been shot , and , contrary to the general supposition , the llesh was hard md palatable. How the lish got into , lie hike is a mystery unsolved. Within .IK ) feet of it are springs which arc boil- _ ng hot , and the ranchers in the vicinity ise the water to scald hogs in the jutchcring season.

Our patrons , who at the opening of past seasons , have examined our stock of men's and boy's clothing , will endorse when we state that we enter a second season .with new goods only. Our spring goods are already on the way , and we must make room for them.ftTe \ have not the space to carry over a haavy stock of winter goods as is done by most clothiers. Our largely increased business compels us to utilize every foot of room in our establishment for the transaction of our aily business and we are therefore compelled to close out every hea vy weight garment on our counters. To do this we make any necessa ry sacrifice in pricess. The reductions we have made on overcoats and suits , and the values we are offering , will surprise everybody. To bargain seekers this is the greatest opportunity , as the pri ce of every garment is about one half what other houses ask for same quali ties. To make a clearance of a large lot of all wool scarlet shirts and drawers'we offer them at 35c.
