Several of the parties In charge of the
preparations being mada for the state lire-
men's tournament , In this city , complain that
certain citizens are throwing cold water on
the scheme , nnd seemingly doing all in their
power to detract from the success of the
tournament. It Is claimed that they are ad
vising these who have guaranteed certain
.amounts not to pay their smxcriptloiis , ns
the whole alTatr will provu a lizzie and they
will not bo aolo to got their money back.
The firemen are naturally quite Indignant
over the turn affairs are taking , and protest
vehemently against such action on the purt
of a few narrow minded cranks. There is
no occasion , however , for nny solicitude on
the part , of the local firemen who have
charge of the preparations , as the Indications
nil point to tlid most successful tournament
ever held In the state. Flattering letters
nro received dally from all parts of this and
adjoining states to the effect put numerous
racing teams and lire companies , heretofore
unexpected , will bo hero to compete for the
liberal prl/es offered. There are only Iwo
matters that nro now behind hand , and thcso
arc the railroad rates and advertising matter.
When the tournament was hold hero In 1881 ,
the advertising matter was ready for dis
tribution on the 18th of February , but this
year it has not yet arrived. Nothing definite
Is yet known regarding the special rates to
bo furnished by the various railway lines ,
but it is promised that both thcso mutters
will soon bo satisfactorily adjusted. It Is ,
hoped that no further obstacles will bo in
terposed , and that nil will work together to
make the coming tournament that which it
promises to bo the grandest and most suc
cessful affair over held hi the city.

A Double Surprise.
A marriage license was issued yesterday
to Henry L. Wcthcrald and Bertha Robins ,
both of Lincoln , Nob. The groom Is a well
known railroad man at the Nebraska car
ital , and the bride is a highly respected
young lady. The couple repaired to the
matrimonial parlors of 'Squire Hendrlcks to
have the knot tied , preferring to have the
ceremony performed away from home , and
were surprised to find two or three Lincoln
gentlemen in the room engagea in a civil
suit. It was too late to back out nnd they
had to face the ordeal. The 'squire tied the
knot so deftly that they were glad they
came , oven U the folks from homo aid catch
on a little prematurely.

Not IjiKlitnliif ; Insurance.
Mr. G. M. Uailoy , general agent of the
Union Mutual Accident Insurance company
of Chicago , states that the facts regarding
the Insurance of the employes of the electric
motor line tire not as stated by the men them
selves , mid published in yesterday's BISE.
Ho says that It was not represented to any
of the men tlmt the Insurance was other
than n simple accident insurance , und that
they were not to bo Indemnified unless the
current was turned oft" , as no company could
guurantcu If u person came in contact with a
strong olcctrlo current. Ho states thai , there
are but few of the men who nro dissatisfied.
Thceo few evidently misunderstood the matter -
tor , und it is claimed that their kicking is all
that has disturbed any of the others. Mr.
Meyers , the local agent of the company , is u
well known und highly respected resident of
this city , und all who are acquainted with
him will bo assured that any ullllculty In the
mutter must bo the result of u misunder
standing rather than of uny misrepresenta
tion on his purl.
