OAKLAND , , Nob. , Feb. 21. [ Special Tele-
" ' ' "gram" to the BKB. " ] Quito a llttlo sensation
, c baa been created" , here by one Jane O. Stead-
i inin.tofirartfoca , Conn. , writing to ono of

The St. Joseph & Grand Inland.
'IlASTixas , Neb. , Feb. 24. [ Special to the
BKR. ] The resignation of General Manager
McCool , of the St. Joseph & Grand Island
railroad , together with the report that the
'road would pass Into the hands of another
conwratfon has naturally excited consider
able interest among the people of Hastings
and other-towns and cities along the road.
A few days ago a somewhat remarkable
statement appeared in the columns of several
paixjrs to the effect that "the negotiations
which have been pending between the Union
Pacltic , the Santa Fo and the Diagonal for
the purchaao of the St. Joseph & Western
have been consummated and the road has
been purchased by the l/nlon Pacific. " This
statement was telegraphed from Hastings
and John.M. Kagon , the attorney of the road ,
Saoted as. authority. As Mr. Uagan was in
oston the attempt to fasten so ridiculous a
report upon him was a failure. '
In conversation with a prominent official of
the St. Joseph & Grand Island the BEE
representative learns the following facts con
cerning the/ reported sale of the road : Some
time ago Charles Fruncis Adams , Jr. , made
an announcement entirely unofficial how
ever to the effect that under certain circum
stances the St. Joseph & Grand Island rail
road might be sold. But It was made known
that the road would only be sold to the com
pany that would bo willing to assume the in
debtedness of (35,000 per mile. The report ,
however , that the Union Pacific had bought
the read carries its own contradiction when
it is known that the Union Pacific
already owns seven-eighths of the
stock , and has always practically controlled
the road. The minority stockholders nro rep
resented .by Mr : Jainos H. Benedict , who secured -
' cured his appointment through an order of
the court.
The rumor that the road will be sold Is not
credited by the attorneys and officials of the
company in Hastings. It is hardly probable
that the Union Pacific will put ono of the
V most valuable feeders in the hands of a
powerful competition.

could dovoura. Beside this aetlvo and way-
uylng trio , H aural 1 , with the few tall * to his
cite In the council , were out In full apparel ,
and In tones soft and low would nay something -
thing and theufpotnt their Index fingois in
a-northern direction , The mystic signs nnd
subdued breathings of these principal mom-
jers of the flrni of We , Us ft Co. were kept
un until the gathering of the shades of night.
Through the "nigger in the woodpile"
that is an indlspcnslblo adjunct to all the acts
of We , Us & Co. the BEK received
a pointer ns to the particular object in the
wind for last night , nnd n few minutes before
8 o'clock a reporter wended ) iis way in the
lorthern direction to which he had scon the
index lingers point a few hours previous. Ar
riving at the northwest corner of Capitol uv-
cnuo und Sixteenth street , he ran uuiUck of
three men and quickly recognized Ed. Bren-
nan's strawberry overcoat on ono side , and
the soft and wide-brimmed hut of a tuxeatcr
in the other. Bctwix the two wasthechumpy
little form of Mike Lee , who , after digging
the dust out of his eyes , solemnly and cau
tiously followed his two companions up the
C'apltol street entrance which admits access
to the rooms of the board of education. The
BEK man followed in the wake of the three
lenders , who went cfear to tno top of the
building , where they were confionted by a
lot of men dressed in the regalia of a mystic
organization. Mike's trained eye for quickly
seeing and deciding told him that
he was iu the "wrong pew , "
and without giving the rest of
Ills companions "the cue" ho heartlessly de
serted them to their fate , which shortly ap-
l > eared in a man of John L. Sullivan proportions
tions and a voice as cheerful as thut of a fog
ttorn. Ho Informed the intruders thut they
were stepping on hallowed ground , and gave
vent to his inquisitives. Upon being told
that no harm or Impropriety was Intended ,
that the callers were seekingout the board of
education rooms , the big man gruffly replied :
"It's down on the next floor , und its funny
that you fellows .who have lived here for
years don't know where it is. " No excep
tions were taken to these reproachful words ,
and Mr. Brennan , his friend with the big-
brimmed hat and the BKB reporter waltzed
down stairs to the board of education rooms.
The interior was envploped in darkiiosa , and
the large black paintcfi , uoors stood grim sen
tinels to further progress. Mr. Brcnuan
tried them , but they ( failed to yield to bis
magic touch. "They're locked , " ho said.
"That' so , they are , " warbled the man
with the big-brimmed at.
Then , looking nboutvhiin , Mr. Brennan , In
querrilous tones , asked , "whero's Mike. "
There being no response to this , the contrac
tor continued : "Why , they told mo the meet
ing was to be hero to-night , " quickly adding
Jn tones of some concern : "I wonder if they
could have changed jtheir minds and "aro
meeting somewhere else. "
To lend suspicion to the proceedings and
cucourago Mr. Brennan in his evil forebod
ings , the Bun man volunteered to bet they
were , and the trio again emerged into the
cold , cold world. As they landed on the side
walk the reporter dr6pt > ed the remark that
"perhaps Captain O'Donahuo could throw
some light on the mysterious subject. "
"He can , perhaps ho can , " Mr. Brennan
repeated over several times with an evident
degree of anxiety , amending those words ,
"but he may bo gone , and then wo would not
know whfrc to go. " *
Across the street to Captain Dona
hue's place , on Sixteenth street "be
yant. " the party went , and when
the door was opened the interior presented
to the gaze of the now comers & select and
bibulous llttlo circle , with Captain O'Dono-
buo at the head and Hascail at the tall. A
cheerful "hello" wont up from the crowd ,
and Hascail , after disappearing outside the
contents of a "schnltz , " settled down on a
chair. He was iu a marry and talkative
mood , and immedlatiely pulled the * stay
strap from his bag of chestnuts , which ho
dispensed for the omusomont and edification
of these who would listen to him. When his
audience , which numbered some nine people ,
tired ot his chestnuts he sailed off into abuses
Of Mr. E. Uosewatcr , which , too , was some
what stale und of the , ohestnutty order ,
Leaving Hascail to entertain his hearers ,
the reiwrter turned his attention to a well
posted employe of the O'Donohue establish
ment , and wus Informed by him that the ob
ject of Hoscall's prossnco and the others waste
to attend a meeting to bo hold
in the room of the board of education
Just as soon as the Janitor would
turn up , unlock the doors and light the gus.
It was intended at that meeting to boom Jef
ferson square as the proper place for the city
hall , and cry down the present slto in loud
nnd windy terms. The reporter lounged in
the saloon until long after 8 o'clock , and with
others peered attentively in the direction of
the board of education rooms for the prom
ised Janitor und gas lights that failed , as the
minutes sped along , to materialize.
Iteturuing to the hall and leaving Hascail
nnd his beer-sipping friends to their enjoy
ment , the reporter encountered Tom Swift ,
who stood dreamily at the head ot the stairs
and bewailing loudly the non-coming of the
balance of tlio llrutof We , Us & Co. Pres
ently footsteps were heard , and they turned
out to be these of Hon. Jim Crelghton. Jim
looked at Tom and Tom gazed upon Jim , and
they both broke the silence by usklncr , "Why
is not the hall openi" This was a thirteen
(
puzzle to each of the statesmen
from the north part of the 'city ,
and Tom , thinking ho was
gc ing to propound something easy , let loose
the interrogation , "Where is the Janitor !
Who is sUmwscd to light up here I'd like to
know ! " Jim was auain strangled for an
answer , but put in tbo query , "Whore is
Kolley. Ho's. engineering this thing , und ho
promised to buvo the hall opened and
lighted. " .
"I know ho did , " , gpoko up Tom , "and ho
worked up the boom until nightfall , und a
great many promised to stay down town to
attend the meeting. " f .
"The wind spared.hg , ( n.out , " sorrowfully
ojauculatcd Jim , "and erc'.B halt past eight
now and nq ono Ulftew. There'll be no
mooting to-night , JlwjjSure , and I'm going
back homo. " . , , r. , , . - >
. Good to hiiword Jyn.started off , leaving
.Tom to commune Ui a solitary citizen ,
followed by the reporter. Mr. Croighton
said that the meeting. ' if | ield , would un
doubtedly have somemjriz to do. with moving
the city hall from'it'a ! , present slto and
planting it on JeTernj5juare. ( Ho insisted ,
however , that ho dM fl ° l know much about
it "as Kelly was engineering the thing. "
Bock to the hall again , went tho. reporter ,
and a loolc Into the drug store disclosed the
classical features of Councilman Tom Lowr.v ,
sitting close by the ( | dor consoling himself ,
gnawing on the kuofi of his walking stick.
Ho was not allowed jto , enjoy this lethargy
very long , as Couuy Cotnmiasloncr Ander
son's whiskers blew in/Upon him. The com-
misslonor was very ' | vroth over the Omaha ,
YankUm & Northwestern proposition , and
ho poured forth eloquence unrestrained into
the cars of the unwilling listening "gentle
man fiom the First. " Finally relief cumo to
him when Hoscall , Bronnau and the balance
of the delegation emerged from O'Donahuo's
and strolled over to the landing in the hull ,
where they were Joined by Anderson and
Lowrj' . The big doors were still fastened ,
und after , an informal exchange
of words "over the grand fiasco , " the crowd
returned to O'Donahuo's and drowned their
disappointment in copious draughts of lager
boor. Hero they talked city hall , boodlers ,
municipal extravagance , politics , etc. , uutil a
late hour when they retired , witnout having
succeeded in accomplishing the greatest aims
of their lives , "moving the city hall to Jeffer
son square. " It is understood , however , that
they will uiako another attempt to-day , and
We , Us St Co. will bo out in full force drum
ming up recruits and a Janitor.

It is reported to the BER that a woman is
making a tour of the city soliciting subscrip
tions for the BEE heroine fund for the solo
purpose of using the money. Yesterday

and the contribution was not secured. The
woman is described as about forty years of
age , red hair , slender built and tall , protrud
ing teeth , wears long brown ulster cloak and
has for the past week carried her left arm in
a sling upon the pretence that it is broken.

AMERICA'S BANKING SYSTEM.
A Norseman \Vlio Thinks There Is
NnthiiiK Like It.
Andrew Nelson is a recent importation
from Norway , and his present homo is on
Twenty-fifth and Cuming. Since coming to
America ho has saved $35. The handsome
exterior of the United States National bank
satisfied him that this wus the best place to
intrust his earnings and accordingly with his
money ho opened a bank account at that
place. Yesterday on presenting his certifi
cate of deposit the clerk through mistake
gave him a draft for ( SO. The Norwegian
uncomplainingly took it nnd made a bco line
for the Nebraska 'clothing store , where ho
bought a $25 suit. Ho presented the draft
on payment , which was accented , and (55 in
money given as change. Still later the bank
clerk discovered his mistake , but when the
Norwegian was hunted up no could not bo
made to understand that ho had bcon over
paid. To his fellow-countrymen , however ,
ho expressed himself as highly pleased -with
the system of American banking. What the
sequel will bo yet remains to bo sccu.

ANOTHER UOBBEIIY.
The Work of the Gangs of Railroad
Thieves Still Goes On.
Mrs. Mary Franklin , un aged widow lady
whoso homo is near Lancaster , Ohio , arrived
in this city yesterday over the Chicago ,
Burlington & Qulncy , onroute to visit her
daughter in Denver. Mrs. Franklin is an
other victim to the gang of thieves that are
working the subuiban trains and depots.
Her story as told to a BKE reporter is as fol
lows : Shortly after leaving Plattstnouth she
was approached by a well dressed elderly
man who inquired it her name was not
Berry , or something of the sort.
She replied that her name was Frank
lin , and that her homo wus near
Lancaster , Ohio. The gentleman begged her
pardon and stated that he had relatives In
that city , and named a prominent banker ,
whom lie said was his own brother. The old
lady was of course delighted to meet him ,
and invited him to bo seated , which invita
tion ho accepted. She told him her destina
tion nnd asked him to examine her ticket to
sec if it was all correct. In doing so she ex
hibited a purse containing some (00 or (70.
This she. carried suspended at her side by u
fiat silver chain. That is all she knows about
the money , except that ufter the stranger
bad escorted her from the train to the B. &
M. depot and bade' her good by\ > , she found
that she hud boon ' robbed. Fortunately the
thief did not take her tickets , so she will
reach her destination safely.

full of local bears and the fact that so many
of them arc short , accounts for the occas
ional sharp advances which occur in that
market now and then. Any fair amount of
buying which makes the market rather firm
sets the bears who have oversold themselves -
selves to covering. Large receipts mbdo
the opening weak and lower , but the depres
sion did not lust. May corn opened at 50o ,
and sold down early to SOJifltfrxis/fe / , then ad
vanced to 5051c , declined'to GOkc , and
Just before the close advanced again to'Mo
nnd closed at that price nt 1 o'clock. Juno
corn opened at SO c , sold at 50 > < @ 50J e and
up to 50j c , which was the price at the 1
o'clock close.
Oats opened easier , but advanced In sympa
thy with corn and closed nt the highest
prices of the day. Trade-was only moderate
in volume and there was no special feature to
the market. First sales of May outs were ut
80c , and from that price this delivery ad
vanced to 31c nnd closed there nt 1 o'cwck.
Juno oats opened at 30 ; c , sold at HOJfu and
closed at the last named prico. July oats
sold at UflJic and that prlco was bid for them
nt the close , August oats sold at 27J c.
In provisions the nay's business failed to
make more than un ordinary showing. Short
ribs , which were sold freely by two promi
nent bears and bought by representatives , of
English houses , received fair attention , Out
in pork and lard the trading was undor. an
average. Still , all tilings considered-
feeling was quite strong. Priocs averaged a
llttlo lower than yesterday , but the disposi
tion exhibited to buy was sufficient to deter
the party favoring a deolino to make any de
termined effort to control the market. , At 1
o'clock the dcclino noted was limited to W@
7'ic on short ribs. j :

lcctcdly Uirht and certainly will not overrun
the estimates. Last night the market closed
strong , with about everything sold , snippers
taking over 5,000 , leaving only about 2,800
for the dressed hoof trade , city butchers and
canucrs. To-day , although buyers began to
skirmish early and buy rather freely , there
was little or no change In prices as compared
with the close yesterday. It was about the
only day that salcs'incn came nearer getting
what they laid their property at than any day
this week since Monday , and values yet remain -
