' I don't know as it's any of your d d business , isitV" was the courteous reply. The pencil pusher admitted that it did not concern him very intimately. After glaring at his caller for a few minutes , tho" chief broached the sub ject that was interfering with his di gestion. A short space was devoted to roundly cussing newspaper men in gen eral and Tun BICK man in particular , during which the orator proved himself to be an adopt artist in the matter of profanity. Ho then looked vainly in a drawer fora copy of Tins BKK , but some one had removed it from its hiding place. A patrolman was then sent out to purchase one , and the chief proceeded to read the article that appeared in yesterday's ibsuo regarding the sup pression of a certain lottoi1. The com ments with which the reading was in- terladcn wore decidedly forcible , al though unfit for publication. lie hotly denied the truth of the statements made , and donouncixl them as an unjust attack upon his personal reputation and that of the force.

ANOTHER FATAL LANDSLIDE , The List of Victims to the Treach erous Dirt Increases. * CUPID LAUGHED AT THE BOLTS A YOIIIIR Omalin Couple Itriunil ( o \Vcd-Thc J'ollce Onilier In a Motley. Crowd Chief Hot. Another Fatal A few minutes before o'clock yes terday another ul accident occurred at the dirt banks in this city , by which another feoul was ushered into eternity without a moment's warning. The treacherous bank of earth crashed downward with terrific force , crushing and burying everything that came in its way. The bank , at which the fatal ity occurred , is situated on North Sixth street , and at the point wliero the acci dent took nhicu , is perhaps twcnty-livo feet high. The contractor in charge of the bank was Mr. J. R Kclley , who was engaged in grading up Avenue tA teamster named J. L. Gano had just driven his team up to the bank , and three shovol- ers , J. P. Allen , John Lewis and Phil Lavonburg , were engaged in loading the wagon. Tlio intimation that any of them had of impending danger was a startled cry to "Look out for the bank. " ICach man sprang to save himself , before - fore the huge mass could crush out his life. The mules atlachod to the wagon whirled away from the bank ns the driver's whip struck them , but before they could got away , the falling avalanche caught tliem and buried them to the hips. They were gotten out without injury. The driver and kavenburg sprang past the mules , and barely managed to es caped the shower of dirt and fro/.en clods. Lewis , being in the middle , was the hibt man to got out. He and Allen , who were at the rear of the wagon , tried to get out of the way. but the fall ing mass came down with lightning speed an.l caught them. A huge lump struck Allen in the back and knocked him down. Heali/.ing his danger , ho hurled himself forward on his hands and knees , and barely managed to escape being buried alive. This alone saved his life. Lewis was less fortunate. lie was knocked down , his band touching Allen as be foil , and ho was instantly buried under tons of earth. His companions look in Ibe situation at a glance , and instantly sot to work with n will to ex- Iricalo the unforlunato man. Word was sen I to the police station and the patrol wagon was soon on the spot. Although a dozen men shoveled vigorously , it was over half an hour before the corpse of the victim was brought to light. He bad never known what hurt him. life having been instantly extinguished. Coroner Watorinnn was summoned , and ho ordered Ihc remains removed lo Iho undertaking rooms of Field & Kslei ) , where an inquest was held. The testimony of the witnesses was in ac cordance with the facts staled above , and a verdict was rendered Ui that ef fect. The deceased , John II. Lewis was twenty-one years of age. Uninarriodand lived with his parents at SOS Avenue H. He bad been at work on the bank but two days , having just como in from the country , where ho was at work on a farm. At the limo of the accident his father was working at another bank barely sixty feet away. He had noticed the dangerous condition of the bank , and had intended to warn his son at noon. The warning was too long deferred and the father is now childless. The testimony of the witnesses at the inquest was to the elToct that they all know that the bank was dangerous , but it was frozen and they did not think that it would fall until it thawed a littlo. It does not appear that there was any willful or criminal negligence in the matter on the part of the contractor , but it does seem that some step should bo taken , and that immediately , to prevent - vent a recurrence of these sad accidents. In less than a year and a half six lives have boon lost at the banks , and several parties have been crushed and bruised by the caving of the dirt. It has been repeatedly suggested to the city council that a move be made lo hold contractors responsible , and a man appointed at their expense to see that the banks are kept cut back at the toi ) . With each succeeding'fntality. the prop osition is revived temporarily and then allowed to drop. In the meantime Iho accidents are constantly recurring , and now victims added to tlio list. The Police Grist. Judge Aylosworth presided over quite a busy scene in police court yesterday morning , The police had made several heavy hauls during the preceding night , and the victims occupied all tlio spare room that was to bo had. Vugs largely predominated , but their cases required but little time. Eight of thorn were charged with hanging around gambling houses , but the court ordered their release , as ho did not dohiro to add the expanse of their keeping to the other city expenses. K. MeCormiok was sentenced to thirty days in jail , but. was given until " o'clock to complete all arrangements. Fred \Vilkcshiro was the only boomer , and he was lined $ H.10. John Roderick , who was arrested for the larceny of a lot of carpenter's tools , was discovered to bo the wrong man , and was released. Tommy Brooks , the pugilist , and J. Jlahor , were arrested for disturbing the peace at the hnckmun's ball. Mnhor waa lin'od $ 'J.0 ' ( ! , which he could not pay , and Brooks' case was continued. Cuphl'ri Wednesday afternoon about 6 o'clock a young man giving the name of Chris Dooring applied at the olllco of the county clerk for a permit to allow him to wed Louise Zimmerman , lie gave the girl's ago as eighteen yeara , and said that he thought that she attained her eighteenth birthday last month. As he was not sure on that point the clerk told him to bring in the girl to allidavit to the fact. lie promised to return in half an hour , but has not been scon since. A reporter for the World noticed the names on the mar riage record-and published a statement that a license had been issubd. The item was soon the following evening by the father of the girl in Omaha. IIo came across the river yesterday moru- ing in great hasto. and besought the police to assist him in IIml ing his daughter. The justice's olllcos were visited , but none of them hadperformed the wedding ceremony for the missing couple , Finally , a visit to the court house revealed the fact that no license had boon issued , The father then breathed more easily , and from him it was learned that the girl isbut tevontcoi years of age and left homo Wedncsdnv , slnco which time she has not returned , Docring has been in his employ foi some time and in addition to his regular duties has employed some of his limp t < good advantage in winning the nlTec- lions of Iho daughter. They decided to skip over the river to Iowa soil , get married and then return to ask the paternal forgiveness. Their plans mis carried and their whereabouts are al present unknown. The stern parcnl was much surprised to learn that they had not been married , as all he ex pected was to have an opportunity to shake hands with thorn before they lefl on their bridal tour. IIo roturneil homo on an early afternoon dummy , still childless and more completely at sea mentally than when ho came over. > : institute Notes.

They departed the next day for Hureka Springs , Ark. , in the hope of bonelltting Mrs. Clayton's health. Mr. Clayton will return in a short time , but Mrs. Clayton will stay there until May next. Edwin Page , a former pupil , returned to the institute and spent a few days this week. Ice has again formed on the creek and skaling is in order. Thursday evening of last week. Mr. Pray gave a sloighl-of-huml perform ance'in the chapel. There were many shrewd tricks , and it caused the pupils to pay full attention to it.

The literary society met last Satur day evening , and a lively debate was a feature of the programme" . Mr. Olof Hanson , a graduate of the National Dcaf-Muto college , now of Omaha , is to deliver a lecture in the chapel thih evening for Hie benefit of the tjoci''ty. The institute was favored by n visit from the honorable mayor and city council of Council Blull's last Monday. Mr. Frank llcinmelder , of Dubuque , who left school abo.it two years airo , in learning the cigarmaker's trade. He will join the union next May. The hundred and . two eighty--second pupil of the institute is a young man named L'nvanaugh , from Maquokcta. Charles Locke is going to Omaha next Friday to upend s-omo days with his cousins , and will return hero next Sunday evening. A deaf mule in the Missouri institute died on Wednesday of last week of pneumonia. His name is Mr. Knglish. Ho was lifly years of ago. He occupied two olllces ? that of teacher in Ihe insti- lulc and editor of llio Missouri Uenf Mute tlccord. llu was a pupil in both the Missouri and Illinois institutions , and a lonelier in both Ihe Louisiana and Missouri institution ! ! . 'i'lio School Heard. A special nieulinir of the school board was bold last evening at the rooms of lheboardiiit.be . Atkins building. All of the members were present. The balance duo Mr. William Ward , as architect and superintendent of the now building , amounting lo $1,000 , was allowed. Tlio architect was allowed "i per cent of the conlract price for-bis services in Ibis direction. The total al lowed him wan $1-10 ( ) . As he was about to blurt on a western trip , the meeting was called for the purpose of effecting a settlement. Mr. Uobert Foresman , of Boston , ap peared before the board for the purpo-o of calling the attention of the members to the normal music course charts , with a view to introducing the same in Iho public schools. The mailer was referred to the committee on teachers , text books and course of study. Several minor bills were allowed. Tlio board then adjourned until next Monday evening , when the regular monthly meetings-ill bo hold. Kucli JMnii Fixes His Own \Ynsei. New York Time : A rather reir.ark- able labor organization closed its four- Iconlh annual session at Baltimore on the 12lh insl. It has never mid a con troversy and never hiul a strike , al though its membership is 8r > 00. It is the Engineers' Beneficial association. It was stated in 1S75 with ten members. It now extends all over the country. It pays sick and other benelits , provides libraries , and seeks to elevate its mem bers in various ways. Each man lixos his own wages. By ten years' hard work it had the $10 license tax enacted by the government abolished. Vieo-PresidontG. P. Wilson , of Phil adelphia , presided at the meeting. Am brose L , . lioyor , of Now York , was el- ecied national president for the ensu ing year. G. P.

To-day Charleston ; S , C. , was selected for the next place of meeting. She Was a Letter Fiend. Now York Times : Mrs. A. V. IJoth- well , of Sullivon street , a prominent member of the Lake Street Presbyterian church , was arrested at Elimrn the other day for having during the past live years written toilers purporting lo bo from ono member of iho church lo another charging husbands and wives with almost every species of wrongdo ing. rev. ? Mr. Spoonor , pastor of the church , received a good many of these communications which contained slur ring and damaging allusions to mem bers of his congregation. Mr. Spoonor tried , aided by many members of the congregation , to got a clue to the ob noxious letter writer , but without avail for some time. Finally ono member of the church , whoso wife had received more than her share of the troublesome letters , wont to Chief of Police Little with a packngo of letters and with a postal card on which Mrs. Kothwoll had boon induced to write an addross. The chief detected a similarity in the writing and sent for the letter llond. Ho charged her with tlio commission of the olTonso , and BO completely did ho take her by surprise that she confessed and owned to being tlio author of the epistles. Nipped In the Itud.

PRINCES IN THE PROFESSION. Most of Them Started at , tlio I/iwe-at Itomul TliHr Success Hue to J Ira I us and Ciootl Imck. The Urwnrtls of The glittering prizes that may be won by ambitious writers for the New York papers , says John Swinton in a New York letter , can bo soon to-day by look ing into the embellished quarters of the leading editors of the city. Almost all the men who now enjoy fame and fortune hereabout as masters of the press have risen from the ranks of poorly paid scribblers whowj notes are so often recounted in long metro and short. 1 venture to Miy Unit tlio pro portion of our aspirants in this voca tion Who secure success is as great as it is in any other line of life whatever , incluilhiir oven stook-johhery , land speculation , railroafl building , or tene ment raising. I nm aware that Ibis assertion will bo challenged , but tlio more fully it is looked into by the o who know the press of New York the more surely will it stand beyond dis pute. Taito but a few facts like unto many others of the Kind that might be given. 1 know Wlntelaw Hold when , in bis maturity , ho lived on a small stipend as the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga/.ette. IIo is now owner of the New York Tribune , proprietor of its "tall lower' ' in City Hall square , and a millionaire who dwells in a pal ace that belongs to himself. I knew Colonel E. L. Codkin , a man of Irish birth , when he drew his pit tance of ! Ki ! ) a weoic as a writer for the Times , lie is now the proprietary cdi- torof the livening I'ost. and enjoys an income from it higher than that of most of the lords in Ireland. I fust saw Charles A. Dana when ho was a writer on the Tribune- under Horace ace ( ii'eoley. Ho is now the dictator of the New York Sun. the owner of a lovely island on the sound , where lie resides in the summer , the proprietor of a city mansion in which ho lives like a prince , and had the happiness a few days ago of intcrViowinu1 the pope in the Vatican. i knew Joseph Pulitzer ten or twelve years ago when lioiwns gutting but a limited reward for the manuscripts bo bent to the Sun. He is now the owner of liiu New York World , a millionaire many timus over , and the author of newspaper projects that tire Hewildcr- ing in thuir range and mngniuule. From thj time that lie was a private soldier in thu union army till he became a writer for the pro'ss and up to this time , his career has been lively. I knew , his younger brother , Albert Pulitzer , when he wsis a clever reporter for the Herald. He is now the owner of the Now York Morning Journal , which has enriched , him far beyond tlio hopus that grew in , his brain ten years ago. 1 know George Jones , who. however , did not boast of his manuscripts when 110 had no notion of the fortune that has enabled him to raibo the grandest newspaper editico in the world. In the Now York Times he now possesses wealth beyond the dreams of avarice. Two years ago Robert P. Porter was a writer who had no conception of what the fast-revolving suns were to bring forth for him. Ho is now owner and editor of the New York Press , a daily paper that bears the impress of a pow erful hand , and is surely at the begin ning of a great career. Then there is Oswald Ottendorfor , who formerly made lean bills as a re porter , but but who is now tlio owner of the New York Staats Xcitung , through his marriage to the weallliy widow of its founder. As to tlio Now York Herald , that came to its present allluent proprietor by inheritance from his energetic sire , who began his career in New York as a poor slave of the pen. Here , then , is a roll of the names of the editors who uro to-day at the head of the leiuling daily papers of this city. It shows that nearly all of tl.ose papers arc now owned by men who wore once , and some of them not long ago , "more scrib blers , " anxiously looking for the means of life in their ink-bnlllos. Surely they have won pri/.cs as glitter ing as any to bo seen in this great city. Surely the editorial business- here oilers attractions to its devotees not less al luring than llitHO of any other. Surely there is fair hope of success for thu young writers who arrive to secure wealth and power through the press. Surely it is not necessary for every big- wigged father who is ambitious of wealth for his posterity to shako his head when Ins son tries to cultivate a literary taste. The press , at least in this locality , has boon a good mine , with veins that yielded rich returns to the hands of many endowed with the. skill to work it * machinery. I do not know the press of all our cities as well as I know that of Now York , but it is probable that the fore going sentence is not less applicable elsewhere than it is hero. And yet there is need of now daily [ wpiu-.s in this city , which is growing like a mushroom , but I must leave that fact to be found out by those who would iko to provide thorn , As a matter of fact , fortune does not wait upon all the men or a tithe of them who try their hajiU in the .daily press of Now York. In piibt yearn I have uiown , alas ! how many journalists , the peers in ability of any of those hero ipokon of , who have been shipwrecked jy their newspaper ambition. Some of .horn died from grief and others yet .ivo in despair. It were hard to toll what are victorious qualities for an ed itor , and 1 am not composing an essay on that subject , but the greenhorn may as well know that there are several of them , as is showii ; by the records of this city. It is not a theory , but rather ox- lorlonco , by which wo are confronted. riion , besides alHtho rest , as Napoleon once tnid , "after every preparation to secure victory has been made one other , hing is needed , and that is , good luck. luck.What What has boon hero said of the dailies of the city might Do applied to a urge proportions of its weeklies. I could name far more than a hundred of our weekly papers that are mints to , heir owners , from Bonnor's Lodger to Jovoy's Brewer's Journal , and nearly 111 were started as these two were , by writers or printers of very narrow noaiiB. The story of our monthly mag azines is of a different kind , for all of them were established by the capital of vealthy publishing firms. Not a tew of the tyros of the periodi cal press hero have won prizes in other lolds like Henry Vlllard , whom I once enow aa a reporter lor ono of our city papers , or Augustin Daly , the theatri- eal manager , who had many years of ex perience in reporting , or Stcdman the pent , or Unwell , the novelists , or Stan * ley the African explorer , or others lee numerous to montion. There is plenty of eiicourngomput for the young follows who are to-day climb ing the lower rungs of the ladder of journalism , though it liolds true that the profession is degraded by those who follow it for the sake of polf. and elevated only by those who use it in a way worthy of the great opportunities it gives for promoting the welfare' of mankind. I'ltK'sl TruliiH to Washington. The Bnllimoro & Ohio railroad IM the only line running through trains from tliii west to Washington , and they have recently improved the service by put ting on two vestibule trains , one of which leaves Cincinnati daily at 7:30 : ) > . in. , and the other leaves Chicago daily at 7:0-5 : p. in. All cars in these trains are vcstibuled , including baggage cars , tiny coaches and Pullman Buffet sleepers1 , thus wholly overcoming the. swaying motion imparted 10 ordinary trains when rounding curves at high speed. The trains are heated by steam drawn f-oin the locomotive. Porters are in attenuanco in thu day coaches as well as in the sleepers to wait upon passengers. In accordance with its long-established policy , the B. iV O. exacts no extra faro' for passage on these trains. A Cool Globe-Democrat : Engineer F.d War ren , of the east bound mail express on the Fitehburg railroad , saved a train load of passengers from an awful fate last night by his remarkable coolness in the face of what seemed certain death. His train was a little late and hu was speeding toward ( iardner as fast us the engine could pull the carsup a heavy grade. Looking ahead in the moonlight he saw several freight cars humming dovn the grade toward his train. They had broken away from the rest of the train while ascending the sleep grade. There was no brake-man on the freight , and very soon the trains would have crashed logethe ; * , had both continued on their course. Engineer Warren put on the air-brakes , shut off the steam , reversed his engine as quickly as possible , reopened the throt tle , and , to the astonishment of the pasne.ngors , the train was speeding back , toward Troy like the wind , with the freghtears pursuing. The engineer knew that he had saved the lives of his passengers.but , not con tent with that , ho devised n plan for stopping the ruiia way cars , and exe cuted it as succcshfullv as ho had avert ed the disaster. Ho gradually slowed up and allowed the freight cars to gently r-triUe the cowcatcher of the engine. There was aslight shock and again the trains parted. This movement was re peated until Ihc freight was brought to n standstill. Tlio passengers of the four cars of the. express got off the train and for the lirst limo reali/.ed bow nearly they had como to a collision. They ex- prerfsed their gratitude to the. enginec'r. Four of the freight cars were loaded with coal , one with bark an 1 the others with miscellaneous goo.ls. They were pushed forward until they could he side tracked , and the express pursued its eour-e. to Huston. The passengers were only slightly shaken up. Mr. J. Lough run , mayor of North DCS Moinos. Iowa , sayr , : "I" have boon using Chamberlain's Cough Hcme.dy for the paal two years , and can recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable cough medicine. My boy takes it without any trouble , and I know it has saved him several limes from a bard spell of Iho croup. " All druggists soil it at < > 0 eenls per bottle. i A Villimo Kor iiillijjrnt Persons. New York Tribune : Over sixty indi- genl elderly persons were housed a few days ago in the Kuslon Homo village in the suburbs of Charleston , S. C. William Euslon , a wealthy furniture dealer , who died nearly half a century ago , left all his property to the cily for the purpose of establishing a homo modeled after that in Canterbury , England , his birth place. Nothing was done about it until the administration of Mayor Courtenay , about nine years ago , when slops were taken to execute the trust. Arraiigeineiits were made with the surviving heirs of the testator , and about $200.1)00 ) was placed at the dis posal of the truslees , Iho vil lage was begun and twenty sub- tantial cottiifres were buiH. Most of them are now occupied. The village will consist of forty cottages. The col lages are of brick and granite , and are provided with the latest improvements in the way of heating , lighting mid sanitary arrangements.

John Paitscb , n mechanic , who re cently moved from San Francisco to Onldand , has invented a machine for utilizing electricity or some other force which ho will not say much about. An Examiner reporter viewed the machine yesterday in company with a civil engi neer , and its power surpassed that of any machine over scon by any of the company. The box in which the ma chine was inclosed was less than four foot long and half that width , The Ijod of the machine appeared to bo simply a hollow box with a email shaft coming through ono endto w'hich was attached a pulley. By touching a little lever at ono end the pulley began to revolve with great rapidity. A bolt was attached to it and it turned anomory wheel bofnst that an inch iron bar hula in the hands of the reporter was noon ground down half an inch and was rapidly being eaten away when it grew BO hot that it could beheld held no longer. Other experiments showing an equally great power were given. In speaking" the machine Air.
