I > fnth of llov. O. W. Frost.
Hcv. George Washington Frost died nt his
late residence , 2021 Chicago street , yesterday
morning at 10:15 : o'clock. Ho had been sick
for ( ubout six weeks , two of
which were spent in St. Louis.
Since his arrival heri * about
four wrcks ago ho has been confined to his
chamber and been attended most assidu
ously by his wife and daughter , Ahbie , his
Buffering during the tlmooccasioncdby a com
plication of diseases , being Intense. It has not
yet been determined when the funeral will
take place. Mrs , Marshall of MedinaN. Y , ,
a daughter of the deceased and GeorgoP.
Hcmls , a cousin of Mrs. Frost's who was In
Cambridge , Mass. , have been telegraphed
Tor and both nro now on their way here.
Mr. Frost was-born In Burro , Vt. Ho was
the son of a Methodist clergyman , who was
then traveling In one of the circuits In that
state , carrying the gospel to the very verge
of civilization. The family moved
Bhortly after the birth of the
young Frost to Boston , and
for many ycarsmado that place Its homo. The
young man largely by his own efforts pre
pared himself for college , when his health
broke downnnd absolute rest was prescribed
Tor him by his physicians , so that ho was
compelled to abandon the Idea of entering col-
lego. Ho continued his studies however In
n private manner , combining with them four
years of professional study , at the close of
which ho cpmnicnced to preach in the Meth
odist Episcopal church , and successfully
filled some of the best appointments in the
Now England conference , nniongthcm being
Maiden , Charleston , Watertown nnd Boston.
While at Wateitown ho married the daughter
of Hov. George Pickering , ono of the most
prominent Methodist ministers In the coun
try. Mr. Frost combined his professional
work with that of teaching , being for some
Tor some years principal of largo and flour
ishing schools , though determined to break
Ills connection with thesunml go west as soon
JIB opportunity ottered. Owing to a severe
injury caused j > y his being thrown from a car
riage ho was iniahlo for four years to attend
to little business except that of working for
Iho restoration of his health. Mr. Frost was
then residing in Cambridge , Mass. Ho re
ceived a proposition from T. C. Durant , then
manager of the Union Pacific railroad , to
come to Omaha and take a prominent iiositlou
on that road.
Mr. Frost was purchasing agent of the
road , buying all the immense supplies do-
inandcd durini' its construction , amounting
to $15,000,000. Mr. Frost was a member of
noveral sessions of the legislature. Ho was
also ono of the government directors
of the Union Pacific , and for some
years served us Indian agent at the Crow
ugcriey. Of Into yeais ho has been in private
llfo , the last effort of his pen being a series
of remlnisconscs of the building of the Union
1'aclflc. Ho was sixty-livo of tigo at the
tltno of his death , leaving a wife and the two
daughters mentioned above. Mr. Frost's
was an active llfo. Ho made many friends
yet was not without some who differed from
him nnd who caused him most of
his. annoyance. Possessed at ono time of a
great deal of property , he suffered it in ono
wa.V and other to get away from him , the last
pleco retained and fought for by him being
Lis homestead on Chicago street , which ho
retained outy after a long contest in the
courts. His estate , Including some property
In Chicago , is valued at about $50,000.
MU. POINTS' mSCOVKKY.
Ho DcclurcH tlint 31 r. Nccdhnm has
too Much Money.
Mr. J , J. Points , the gentleman who sub
mitted a report to the county commissioners
in rcfcrenco to Ex-county Clerk Needham ,
nnd which was printed in nil its completeness
in the BKK , is at present in the
employ of the board checking up the affairs
of Mr. Nccdham's administration , and com
paring it with that of his predecessors. Mr.
Points is considered to bo well lilted for this
undertaking , owing to his familiarity with
the details of the oftlce , and his knowledge of
the statutes. The subject in hand
is based on un order issued by the old board
of county commissioners authorizing Mr.
Nccdhum to have re-written and transferred
old records in his ofllco , at a cost not to ex
ceed 5 cents n lino. This Mr. Nccdham had
clone at an expense , ns ho represents , of $7-
043.80. and vouchers drawn by himself indi
cate that ho is in receipt of this sum. Mr.
Points declines that this is greatly in excess
of the actual cost of the work , which , in his
opinion , did not actually amount to moro
than half of what Mr. Ncedhum has Issued
vouchers for , and that the excess should bo
returned to the county.
The commissioners have taken Mr. Points'
observations under consideration , and propose -
pose holding a consultation with some of Mr.
Nccdham's predecessors with a view of
learning something concerning the receipts
and expenditures of thu olllco during their
-respective terms.
County Attorney Simcral and the commis
sioners were busy yesterday looking up
the law relative to ex-County Clerk Need-
ham's claim of $7,043.80 for copying thu
numerical indexes.
A Bni : reporter called at Mr. Ncedham's
oftlco yesterday but not finding that gen
tleman in sought his former deputy , Mr. S.
B. Auchmocdy , who stilted that the work of
compiling , the now index books was extra
labor , for which a number of extra clerks
wcro employed. Under the statutes the
county commissioners wcro empowered to
r > ay us high as 15 cents per entry , but Mr.
Nccdham accepted the work nt the remarka
bly low llguro of 5 cents per entry , and that
the commissioners had entered into a written
contract with Mr. Needham.
This contract , is in the form of n resolution
adopted by the board December 1 , IbiO , and
the following is an e.xact copy :
Kesnlved , That the county clerk bo nnd is
hereby directed to rewrite nnd correct er
rors in numerical Indexes required to bo re
written on account of said books being worn
out and said clerk shall receive for said i c-
writing the sum of llvo (5) ( ) cents per cnfry
for eai'li and every entry , to bo paid out of
the fees of his olllco. Said correcting and
rewriting not to oicoed eighteen books ac
count of uoing lowest bidder.
Chairman O'Keoffo was asked his opinion
concerning the above and ho stated that it
looked to him that Mr. Needham could col
lect for no moro than the actual expense of
extra clerks ns per his vouchers. Mr.
, O'ICcefo said that the commissioners in
adopting the above resolution had probably
imuio a mistake.
County Attorney Slmeral was next seen ,
but declined to express an opinion until he
had made u thorough Investigation of the
subject. _
A WIGICtiU WOMAN DEAD.
Mrs. Davis , n AVell Known Character
In Police Circles , Will Sin No Moro.
The notorious Mrs. Davis , who for a num
ber of years has been identified with the
lowest classes of Omaha , and whose
unina appears moro often than nnj
ono other of the fallen womcr
of this city on the police rccords.dled on Sun
day nnd was burled at Forest Lnwiiiesterdni
morning by County Agent Malionoy. The
career of this woman has from early Infanci
been identified with crime. She came t <
Omalm along in the ' 70's aud a few
months after her arrival was
urrcstcd for larceny. She has during the
past four years been arrested uo less thai
fifty-two times charged with almost ever )
petty otTcnsa known in criminal history ,
; Thcvery ! seemed to have been chronic
with her , umt many stolen attlclc1
of Binall value havp been foutu
in the shanty she occupied on the bottoms
It U said Ihitt bho was the mosl blasphemous

Thnn. '
Mayor nrontcli called upon Chairman
Bnlconibo of the board of public works yes
terday to sco what the ordinances and 10
contract with Fanning & Slavcn , the con
tractors for street sweeping permitted in the
matter of cleaning the streets of the present
seas of slush nml filth which make them n
disgrace to the i-otmimnUy. Ho saldhodld
not have authority to usu the prisoners with
out the concurrence of the mayor.
Doth the mayor it ml Mr. Halcombo
examined the tontnict with Fanning &
Slaven but the only provision found relat
ing to the subject was the following ! "Tho
contractors will bo required to keep one snow
plow and ono largo scraping machine or
more of each if necessary , on hand and ready
for use at all times during the winter. After
the occurrence of each snow storm the gut
ters and cross-walks of all paved streets or
alleys will bo cleaned of snow and the snow
heaps leveled by aid of these machines or
otherwise. " There Is nothing In this to em
power the mayor to order the streets cleaned ,
mid Mr. Halrombc hold that ho could not or
der them cleaned. The street inspector , how-
cA'oreould order u cleaning to bo made , If so In
structed by the council. Hut the council
will not meet till next Tuesday night. In the
meantime , It seems as if the city must bo
subjected to the annoyance of muddy
sticetsand erodings , which it has
berne with slnco the commence
ment of the present moist weather.
It was discovered in looking over the or
dinances that nearly every party who had
cleaned his walk has in a certain manner
violated the ordinances in that , instead of
throwing the snow Into the street to n dis
tance of eight feet from the curb hud thrown
it into the gutter. As a consequence , the
latter arc now clogged and In the event of n
warm spell the snow in them will melt and
damage some of the property in cellars along
some of the paved streets.

The House of AV. II. linrrUoii Entered
by nn Unwelcome Visitor.
Mr. George Du Hpls , a well known ex-con
ductor qn Iho Union Pacific , and who boards
with Mr. W. H. Harrison at 1205 Pierce
street was awakened nt a Into hour Wednesday
night and discovered a man creeping along
the floor of his room. "Is that you , Harri
son } " asked Mr. Du Bois. The burglar , for
such ho proved to be , Immediately arose and
started for the hall. Mr. Du Bols followed
but the thief succeeded in unfastening the
outer door and made good his escape.
Mr. Harrison ami Mr. Du Bois then made
an examination of the house and discovered
hat a pair of pantaloons belonging to the latter
laid disappeared , together with a valuable
gold chain , a sum of money and a largo
oekctrbook containing a promissory note for
} 00 and ten shares of Now Jersey
Central stock. Yesterday the panta-
'oons wcro found about three
iipiarcs from the house. The
olice wore notified and nro scouring the city
for the burglar. It Is believed that the crime
was committed by some person well ac
quainted with the habits of the Harrison
"louschold. It seems that Mr. Harrison has
i largo watch-dog , but on rainy or muddy
lights has left the dog to watch his factory ,
nstead of taking him home , fearing that he
ivould soil the carpets'

Yesterday a HIE : reporter met License

knew about permits to peddle having been
ssued free to men In this city by Mayor

with such permits , to whom they had been
issued by the mayor on the representation of
supposably creditable citizens , who stated
that the applicants wcro in needy circum
stances and might bo able to make u living if
the permits were granted. The mayor , ho
said , had ordered him to investigate the con
dition of the peddlers , and he had donoso ] , re
porting that , all ofjtbem owned their outfits
