The sensation of Butiduy was the elopement -
mont of n couple of young pcoplo of "Un 1-
varsity Place , " whoso marriage was solemn
ized by nor. Minohnrt during the afternoon
in cast Lincoln. It Is altogether probable
that , In n way , this will provo to bo another
case of repenting at leisure not that the
contracting parties do not love wisely anil
well , but because their marriage Is illegal.
For Bovoral months past DV. . Danlolson
nnd Rebecca Bcchman courted under diffi
culties. Rebecca's father bitterly opposed
young Danlolson and did everything within
bis power to wonn his daughter from her at
tachment , but nil to no purpose. On last
Saturday the young man wont to Wllher
and secured the necessary license. Ha
called for Rebecca at nn appointed place and
together they repaired to thn residence of
Hov. Minehart , who glanced at the
license nnd taking everything as reg
ular , pronounced them husband nnd
wife. During the evening tlio
bride's father got wind of the nffalr , nnd ho
proceeded to storm and pull hair. Ho prom
ised to wreak vungeauco on his son-in-law at
the first opportunity , and possibly , ho now
has his opportunity. The young people uro
In Fnlrbury visiting friends , unconscious of
tholr dilemma. Boar In nilnd that the license
was secured In Sullno county , whllo section
4 , chapter 52 , of the compiled statutes of No-
bras It n roads us follows : "Previous to the
Bolemnlzntion of any marriage in this stata ,
n license for thut purpose must bo obtained
from the probuto judge of thu county wherein
the marrlugo takes place. " ,
Is Ho Innocent ?
Dundy county's sensational rape case has
found its way into the supreme court. In
this case a Mr. Orin M. Sldtiner was charged
' with having commltcd rnpo on the person
m' of Rhoda A. Hogora. The alleged crime took
place ou the 23th day of January , 18SO , the
particulars of which wcro published in TUB
Bun at the time. Skinner was tried and con
victed during thu month following , and sen
tenced to servo n term of two years in the
state pen. The accused's council came to the
supreme court on n petition in error , and
asked a suspension of the sentence pending
the hearing , which the court bolo\v denied.
Still comes the plaintiff , who swoonmgly al
leges error ns shown In specified interroga
tions ; Instructions of the court ; misconduct
on the part of the jury ; the verdiut not sus
tained by evidence ; that it was contrary to
law ; misconduct on the part of the bailiff ,
and that the court erred In overruling thg
motion for a now trial. Meanwhile , now-
ovcr , Skinner Is serving the sentence as
passed , hut his counsel prays a reversal of
the judgment ; that uxcuntion of the sen
tence bo arrested , nnd for a now trial. It
scorns tlmtSkinner has friends who believe
him Innocent , ami they nro moving for a
speedy hearing , und that justice so dear to
all who are falsely accused.

It now looks ns though the master plumb-
era were going to win In their light with the
journeymen. Sixteen master plumbers were
at work on Tim BBK building yesterday
three of whom were from Lincoln , ono from
Beatrice nnd the remainder from Omaha.
Tno work upon the third , fourth and iifth
floors is finished and upon the other floors It
Is well advanced towards completion.
Thirteen of the carpenters who walked out
at the Instigation of the striking plumbers ,
returned to work , having evidently discov
ered that they wcro in no way beiioflttlng or
nidlng the cause oC united labor by the course
they were p'ursulng.
Bight or ten plasterers still remain out and
the work upon the build'ng ' is somewhat de
layed thereby , but it is expected that the
trouble will soon bo overcome.
The journeymen plumbers took warning
from the effect the disgraceful occurrence
of Monday had upon public opinion , and
remained away from the building.
Neither have they made any attempt to
draw oft other men who arc employed in the
building. They wcro in conference all
the morning and there Is something on the
tapis , butwbut , it is they refuse to make
known.
The masters say that they will make no
overtures and are satisfied as to what tlio
outcome of the struggle will be.
Some of the striking plumbers have applied
to the jobbers for stool : with which to open
shops of their own , but the supply houses
have declined to deal with them.

WANT TO CONSOLIDATE.
Ames and Dillon May Buy tlio City
Hallway fur $0OOOOO.
In tbo consideration of a proposition
brought , it is said , by Senator Paddock , from
Frederick Ames and Sidney Dillon , to the
Omaha Street Hallway company and Motor
companies , of this city , a great deal of private
caucussmg has been going on during the past
four davs. Bnefly stated , the twq com
panies named desire to consolidate. They
hold that , under ono head , the system can
bo more successfully built up and operated
than if allowed to continue iCs at present.
These connected with other different cor
porations , deny that they have such a propo
sition under consideration , but THE BEE'S '
information on the subject comes from u re
liable source.
Senator Paddock waa questioned on the
subject , but ho evaded the queries. Ofllcors
of the Omaha street railway companies say
that Mercer and his friends are anxious for
an opportunity to sell out. Ono man made tlio
remark that they wcru building their line for
that purpose. The understanding
Is that if Ames and Dillon
nro anxious to secure the properties they can
get them for about six million dollars. The
cable nnd borso car people ask f 1,000COO and
the motor folks S'J.OOO.OOO. It is the inten
tion of those gentlemen if they succeed in
making tbo purchase to complete
an electric road between Council
Bluffs and South Omaha as well as to all
parts of the city. Horses and mules will ho
dispensed with entirely and motors substi
tuted on all lines.

liold a contract to furnish stationery of this
Id ml , Evans made inquiry. Ho got Mount ,
Q'Keofo and County Clerk Roche together
in thn hitter's oHleo vault and looked ever
Lbe accounts. It was decided there that the
blanks meant assessor's books. Roche took
occasiou to suggest that it would bo bettor
for nil parties if each oftleo
should order its bwn blanks , whereupon
Mount said , "No , I think wo need a sta
tioner , and am in favor of having ono ap
pointed. "
O'Keefe , however , could not be induced to
accept the proposition. On the other hand ,
he thought tbo board , with five members ,
had not been able to accomplish half as much
work as when there were only three mem
bers in it.
Anderson's great discovery of what ho
thought to bo extravagance ) in the use of

shows that under Roche's lirst year of ollice
the amount cxuondcd in this direction was
$2,000 less than during the year previous.

arrival of Union Pacific and Burlington
; rains freer 0J. ; ) p. m. to 4 p. m. , and that the
time of dopar'tnro of the Chicago connections
at Council Bliffs | bo chanced In accordance
therewith. Hp'gives us bis reason that the
malls from the west arrive in New York at
5 p. m. , which , he states , is too late for dis
tribution.
Thu western mail is important to the finan
cial aud conuncici.il circles of New York ,
and for this reason thn superintendent wants
to arrive in New York ut 'J o'clock In the after
noon. Ho has hold several conferences with
the oQleialsof the Union Pacific concerning
the matter but the railroad companies are
not inclined to make a change , as it would
afTcct the time cards on all roads between
Lhetwo oceans nnd would also incur another
lieavy outlay of money. An ofllcial of
tbo Union Pacific stated to-day that
tils company had suont considerable limn nnd
money in arranging the iircscnt schedule ,
which took effect last Sunday , nnd that nny
radical change would bo strongly opposed.
Mr. White is still in tlio city , but there is
no indication that his request will bo
granted. _
Burlinuton's Kollef Kund.
Tlio projectors of the Burlington Volun
tary Relief doimrtmcnt have announced that
the books will open to membership Juno 1 ,
Any employe can at will become a member
by paying the percentage of his assessment.
No emuloyo is compelled tu enroll , and if
after ho bus Joined ho desires to withdraw ,
lie can do so by paying up all that is charged
ngalnst him on the books. Tlio fund thus
derived will bo used in caring for tlio in
jured , sick and needy of the em
ployes who are members. Under
the constitution and by-laws the
fund will bo placed in the hands of a board
of trustees numbering thirteen , of which the
general manager of the Burlington is ox-
ofllcio chairman. The lirst election of o Ul
cers will occur next November , but the busi
ness will bo looked after by General Mana
ger Rioloy and n designated board of trus
tees until that time. Indications are that the
undertaking will meet with f < ilr success.
Hunch thn Stock Trains.
General Trafllo Manager Mellon , of the
Union Pacific , stated that the Union Pacific
has n creed to haul live stock from the transfer
for to South Omaha at the rate of $ t per car ,
provided the Iowa lines xvould establish
u standard in delivering their live
stock so that the tralllc of each line
might bo consolidated and the stock
moved to South Omaha In solid trains. Ho
states also that , under the present manage
ment the Unlun Pacific Is compelled to make
from eighteen to twenty trips a day for busi
ness that could bo handled in one or two.
Union Depot and Viaduct.
Speaking on the subject of the viaduct and
union depot , . a _ gentleman occupying an Im
portant. position In the employ of the Union
Pacific , sajid : ,
"To Insist that the city of Omaha shall
build a viliduCt on Tenth street provided the
roads erect uunlon depot is simply ridiculous.
Already tlip Union Pacitlc has property ceded
It by the city to the value of ever ? 1,000,000.
Go over tho. records aud oo under what
'
speculation's those grants were made. It Is
surprlsin 'tofrie that tbo officers of this city
have not' demanded the fulfillment of
recorded agreements. I do not suppose that
there is another case In the United States
where u railroad company lias been allowed
to override its obllgatlor.s as the Union
Pacific has been allowrd. Now , just look
ut this. The Union Pacific is not
putting oitn ) dollar to improve its business
lieru while atfCbeyenno It is investing in a
500,000 , plant , . It U time that the city took a
llrm stand. pnLtiis ) subject. "
Inquiry , among some of the heavy tax
payers led to thu discovery that many of
them felt , however , that the city might ren
der some assistance provided all the Iowa
lines wcro brought Into the union depot pro
ject and thus make Omaha their terminal
point. _
