Some of too Sunjoots Thay Will DU- . cits * This Week. The general managers of the various western roads will moot in Chicitro Tues day. Several important matters will co me up forflnal action. Among them will bo the question of freight charges on exhibits to the Om.ihn exposition. Heretofore articles for exhibits have boon conveyed .free of charge. At a recent" mooting of the roads it was decided > cided to charge a one-way rate. A commit tee from the Exposition .association filed n protest against this , and the matter will bo passed upon Tuesday ilo\t. Another important topic will bo the right of : i railroad company to fatten cattle in transit. For years the Union Paciilc.and lately the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley , have maintained yards near Fremont , whore cattle in transit were unloaded and allowed food. For this little favoritism the railroad companies charge ? 10 extra per car for each carlnad of cattle handled in this way. The Burlington has entered a protest , and claims that the two companies must either abandon this work or forfeit their right to the through rate and apply the local. Tha milling in transit clause , a matter which involves the Milwaukee road , will also come up. This clause allowing milling tn transit xvas Incorporated in the rules and regulations , only after a bitter flght beliif made for It bv the Milwaukee and tha millers of Minneapolis. The Milwaukee tops the grain bolt of Dakota , and about 85 percent of tUo grain product of that territory is milled at Minneapolis. Compatitivo lines want the clause abrogated. AMUSHMENTS. The return of the over-popular "Bosto- nians" will bo a welcome event , even though the weather is hot , for the now Grand opera house has been found to bo a very cool sum- incr theatre , nnd the public will go at any tlmo to hear the beautiful and urtlstlo per formances of this justly famous company. The name it was called on the Paclilo coast , "tho Incomparable Bostonmns , " Is deserved ly won by them , for there is in English opera no company so complete and so splen didly equipped. The versatile Marie Stone , the superb toner , Tom Karl , the greatest of couvraltos , Jessie Bartlett Davis , with the boast ot operatic comedians and the most retinue1. Henry C. Barnnbco , with the most popular and delightful baritone , W. H. MacDonald - Donald , would nlono maKa u company of greatest strength ; but included in the por- sonol of the company are so many other charming artists , notably Juliette Cor don , who has made a great success ovury- whera with bor rich vocal gifts aud artistic methods of using thorn ; Carlottn Maconda , the lovely young soprano , who Has made rnpla progress with this company this sea son and bus o future of ruro promise ; Louise Blanch ! and Josephine Bartlett , artists of sterling worth , nnd most successful iu their various roles. Of the male contingency , the numo-i of Edwin W. Hoff , the charming Jyrio toner , and Eugene Cowlos , the very success ful young basso , stand out as artists of rare promise und great popularity. George FrothhiKlwm , so long identified with the successes of tbo company , is again a prominent name among them , nnd in bis own Held of eccentric comedy parts ho has made always the greatest success. The box ofllco will open at U a. m. to-morrow for the sale of reserved seats. The farewell appearance of the great Rhinehart family takes place at the Musoe this week , prior to their return to thu oast. They will appear in u now sketch entitled "Dark Corners of a Great City , " nnd will intro'lu ' o many of the now specialties , snnga and dances that have made this family such a great attraction. The curio hall will bu full of wonderful and interesting caprices nl nature. The public seem to Imvo chosen the Musoo as a favorite resort In summer , and it is a fact that tli6 ventilating apparatus that was put in for the hot weather keeps the atuiosphcro as cool as it is in the open air. imiOVlTlFJB. John Brewer , who died at St. Joseph's hospital from severe burns , will bo buried to-day at Forest Lawn , Jim Dougherty , who was killed by tbo cars Fourth of July morning , was burled at the expense of the county last evening , as it U discovered that his connection wltb tbo A.

Eight years ago on any morning nbout 4 o'clock ' , ono could Imvo found n boy waiting nnd watching on the than dreary bank of the Iowa sldo. A pony nnd n gig could also have bean scon. Tills was a part of the crude transportation system by which TUP. 13 EH was carried dally to its readers tu Council Bluffs. The little bundle of HUES then suf ficient to supply the demands of the IBlufiltes , was each morning carried from the press room to the river bank , placed in a row-boat , nnd thus taken over to the lad waiting In the willows , who In turn proceeded on his dreary thrco tnllo drive across the then waste of weeds nnd tangle of bush , known as the bottoms. The stalwart boatman was Charles West. It was often no pleasure trip. In the cold , when the shivering lad on the bank would bo warming himself by n ton-flro , In thunder storm nnd ilood , when drifting logs swept towards the canoe , threatening to upset or sink It , in the midst of floating cnltos of Ice , la the dark and In the cold , the plucky boatman never failed in bis purpose of sup plying Council Bluffs with nowstoeo with the morning coftco. During the winter when the river was frozen over , West used to carry the papers over in sacks on his back. Sometimes , when the Ice was dangerous , ha would take n plank under his arm. Ou raoro than ono oc casion ho wont through the ice , and TUB Bun wns tnado anything but n day shoot. Several of his escapes wore BO narrow na to rob thorn of all these humorous features which now surround them as reminiscences. The lad watching on the shore developed rapidly into plucky manliness. During the few years since then the lad has become a yonng man , has gone further west , has bravely wrestled with fortune , nnd now Charley Bray's check is good for more dollars lars than most of his dudish companions will over see , much loss over earn. Ho recently made ono fortunate turn In mining property , and sent back to Council Bluffs $4,000 In cash to bo placed to his credit hero a part otlio profits. How mrch of his success is duo to this early , rugged traini g , can never bo told. Fred Ticknor also performed liko'sorvico1 Ho , too , has developed into a stirring and sterling business fellow , making and holding many big round dollars , , his spo6inlty being live stock. , The bundle of BEES soon grow too heavy , the inodu of trasportatfon too slow , and a tricycle car , propelled by ; lovers as a hand car , was pressed into RL'rYico. This was run over the Union Pacflc ] bridge , under regular train orders , nnd the papers were thus de livered to the Broadwaj'/deoot. from whence they were taken by a jfliprso to the Council Bluffs office. This was in 1835. Gcorgo Qellonbnck was tbo engineer , fireman , brakeman - man , conductor ana pxurcssman of this special train. Ho thuin transported hun dreds of Bucs every ulorhing. Gellonbeck can toll many tnrillingO'ns well as humorous anecdotes of his escapes and experiences in this sorvico. Often , dpspito the train dis patcher's assurances 9 < i clear track , a switch ongirib" \vild.fcram would puff up most startlingly near , nmttho would Imvo to jump the track. By1 dumping his pile of papers artd letting thorrfjf0ll down the steep side of the fill , ho could then lift nnd pull the little car off thetn &r und hold it with difficulty from ffdfllivrinBj tllfi papers down the bank , , . .until , u.tht > danger wns over. Mora jthan ronco do was not sop tun.ate XJiy-o ' ftho special BEE train" was'dit'chocT ; 'again Its engineer was dumped into a snowbank ; and still again the car wns so wrecked thai a now ono had to tuko Its place. With t ho completion of the 'now wagon bridge the hand car has given way to a team and a covered wagon , which is loaded at the press room in Omaha every morning ana rap idly whirled eVer the river and up to the ofllco of distribution. The gathering of late Council Bluffs news vvis attended by no loss ' difficulties. Ono night operator supplied the telegraph ofllce in Council Bluffs and ho was too busy taking associated press reports to be bothered by souding any HUE specials across to Omaha. The telephone office hud a night -operator who evidently felt it his bounden duty to sleep beyond awaking by even Gabriel's trump , and if by chance ho was caught awake , the "holl-o" wus so badly mixed as to turn the word end for end. Then there wore the numerous difficulties arising from the jealousy and prejudice ex isting between many in both cities. This was oeforo Counoll Bluffs and Omaha wore Introduced to each other. The acquaintance has rapidly ripened until wedlock , and nat ural increase has made them of ono family , working harmoniously together. In looking back now It seems hardly possible that ono Broadway merchant a few years ago de clined to Imvo TUB BEE delivered to him by carrier because , us stated by him , "Your paper goto around to the store before I open up , and if it is loft in tha handle of the door some of my customers may see it and quit patronising mo because I road an Omaha paper. I buy it every morning of a news boy , but I don't dare take it by carrier. " It is now acknowledged that TUB Bun has not only done more than even ttio local papers to give news to and of the Bluffs done moro to advertlso this neighboring city but it has also done moro to bring about the wedlock of interest. The office appointments have also changed greatly , owing to the rapid in crease of business. When it was de cided eight years ao to establish u branch ofllco of TUB BEIS in Concll Bluffs , it was predicted by many' that tbo expense and difficulties would the enterprise to speed ily coma to naught. Tun DBF. was the first Nebraska paper to enter this field. Mr. Ilosowator realized the difficulties , but bent on success , and with faith in the future of Council Bluffs , ho was nothing daunted by the dubious stnrt'of twenty-seven subscrib ers and ono little advertisement. At that time a llttlo upstairs robin in the Everett block moro tlmn answered all purposes. A nit of pasteboard , filutterlngly announced , at the foot of the narrow stairway : "OMAHA BEE For Sale Hero. " pfgw newsboys , ouo carrier , artd ono or two iitWCIies of THE BEB wore the only ones to pijiB.through the office door for the first few wMiim Council Bluffs soon began to show Its appreciation of pluck and energy , nnd Inoroasaf followed speedily This morning whoovorfetands at TUB Bvi : headquarters in CouncllrAMufla will find nt G o'clock a crowd of bo.vsj , jostling in and out with bundles of papers , Allies standing in the street are quickly mqUntod and carriers go galloping away in all directions , carrying THE BEE to from slxtcot/'Wblghtcen hundred readers.

By giving fairly and fully the local news of the city , bv talcing an actlvn interest , in the success uf its public enterprise , It has so won its way as to be looiced upon as an important factor. IIIQUTS OF HEIRS. Determined In an Interesting Onso In ttio County Court. An Interesting case was adjudicated by Judge Shields. It related to the gunrdlfkn- ship of Sardlus H. Browator. In 1803 the father of Sardlus died , willing all his , prop erty to Snrdlus nnd his wlfo.

A DEPOT SITE. A New Move Mudo for a Sloro Con- trnl Location. A prominent citizen who has an eye to business in railroading , concerning a site fern n union depot In Omulia , said : "I would suggest that the railroad companies excrclso a little intelligence in tbo selection of u slto for the union depot. Nsw , I hnvo looked the ground over carefully , and 1 think that the most available site is that bounded by Eighteenth nnd Twentieth streets on the east aud west , and Hrtrnoy and Mason on the north and south. I think , taking everything into consideration , that this is thosuotwhoro the depot snould bo built. You could have the grand entrance fronting on Harnoy street the building extending east and west -Mind then to the south of this have your train sheds and terminal facilities. The position of the Burlington and Union Pacific tracks would hiivo to un dergo but slight change. A double track could bo constructed In the form of a "Y , " which would enublo the turning of entire trams. Over this track all trains could enter. Then set out your branches , such as is the case nt the transfer in Council Bluffs. I would suggest that a viaduct bo constructed along St. Mary's avenue , extending from Seventeenth to Twenty-second street , and vacate the avenue and so arrange it that the trains might pass under the viaduct. "Tho proper site for the depot is in or near the business center of a city. The Pennsylvania company only found this out when it cost them $7,000,000 to got to the business center of Baltimore , and they oven then had to build trestle works over the tops of houses on their right of-way. The uncertainty of the channel of the Missouri river , together with the fact that it is comparatively worthless as for as navigation is concerned , will prevent the building of the city in that direction. The Tenth street site , twenty years hence , yes , and I may reduce it to ton years , will bo sub urban ns far as the drift of the business is concerned. \ do not wish to discourage any movement pointing toward the erection of a uulon depot , but 1 nm firm in my belief that tbo site should bo moro centrally located. " YOUTHPUU FORGER. Fred Copulnml's 1'eiiohnnt For Water melons LicmlH Him Into Trouble. A toll , slim , well-dressed , quiet looking young man , about nineteen years of ago , was brought out of his cell at the police station last night , to the wire grating which sepa rates the outsider from the cells. "Is that the man ! " Officer Cusick asked a gentleman , standing outsido. "Yes , that is the ono , " bo replied. "Ho came into my store , at 2313 L > cavonworth street , this afternoon , and ordered a sack of flour and a watermelon to bo delivered to 1310 Park avonuo. Ho ten dered a check for $7.75 , drawn to the order of G. W. Cook and signed by Max Mover & Co. I took the check and gave him ? 5.75 in chango. After ho had gene out it struck mo that the check did not look right , and I ran after him. Ho took the check without n word and gave mo back the money. " The young mau is Fred C. Copolnnd , who has been living with his parents on South Tenth street , near Castollar. His parents nro most re pectaDio people , and his father has worked in the offices of the Union Pa- clilc railway for several years. The young man was in the employ of the Union Pacific about three years ago in a position of trust , and defrauded the company. He skipped out to Salt Lake City , but was brought baoic under arreat. For some tliua previous to the 1st of Jun o last , ho was employed by Froeland , Loomis & Co. , as elevator boy , and was attonvnrds promoted to the position of clerk in the furnishing goods department. It was noticed that the young man was living at n very rapid rate , and investigation satisfied th o management that ho was anproprtatlu g money. His discharge followed. Young Copeland at once started out ns a full-Hedged forger. Ho draw up chocks payable to various fictitious parties und signed by the firms of Max Meyer & Co. , Frooland , Loomis & Co. and McCord , Brady & Co. These ohecksworo for small amounts , ranging from $5 to $10. His method of oper ation was to pa into a grocery or fruit store and buy ono or two articles , ordering tliem sent to soaiQ imugiuary place. Ho seemed to have a penchant for watermelons and flour. When the checks came to the banks they were thrown out and rofered to tbo house whoso name wus signed on thorn. They wore reported to tha police , and Detectives Ormsby amlMostyu were detailed to Investigate the matter , A description WAS obtained from tnu various victims , nnd Copeland was finally located. A decoy letter was sent him , tolling him to meet a certain party last night at the corner of Fifteenth nnd Douglas. Ho came and was arrested. The officer started to the station With him , but when they reached tlio corner of Fourteenth and Capital avosuo Copuland broka away and run west on Capi tal avenue. Detcctiva Ormsby followed and drew his revolver. Coooland stopped near Sixteenth street und was taken back. Ho acknowledges the whole affair and says lie 1ms passed about tv/enty-soveii checks. It is cstlmatnd that bis ontlro profits are only about $100. The young man glvcm nrouiiso of being a very export criminal within a few years. A Shooting Affray. Fay Martin and Lloyd Simpson were In a saloon on Douglas street near the bridge yesterday afternoon , drinking und smoking. The finally began dUpu'tlng about nn old grudgonnd became so noisy they were or dered out. They separated and started up town. About an hour afterwards Simpson was sooii iu tbo vacant lot ou the corner oi Douglas nnd Eleventh streets nnd called to n llltlo boy to go nnd got his revolver nndsomo cartridge" * . Martin appeared on the scene at this juncture nnd heard his remark to the boy. Ho nt once ran nt Simpson nnd boat him over the head with n revolver which ho drew from his pockot. Ho then commenced shooting nt Simpson , who stnrtcd to run west on Douglns street. Matin's mnrksman- aht | ) wai very poor , ns ho failed to hit Simp * Ron by shooting , so ho commenced pounding him over the bond with the revolver , draw * lug a llttlo blood. Mnrtln was arrested , but Simpson got , nwny. Martin says some of Simpson's friends hit him with nn nxo , nnd ho was afraid ho was going to bo mobbed. WHAT CAUSED IH8 DEATH ? A Jury Inquiring Into the CAURO of Wllllnms' Tftklnjr Off. Tha Inquest over the remains of Ed. Wil liams , the soldier found dead on the railroad track near Fort Omaha , consumed the at- tontlon of Coroner Drexel and n jury the on tlro day. That official Is Ratlsfiud nftcr an exhaustive Investigation of the case that Williams came to his death through accident. But owing to the various rumors afloat concern ing the deceased being murdered the csoronor says that ho wll ! contlnuo the sitting of the jury until every i-eport Is sifted tn the bet tom. tom.L. . C , Judson , ciifrlneer , nnd A. G. Bump , conductor 01" train No. 05 which Is supposed to Imvo parsed ever Williams' body , were oximined. Tholr testimony wns very meagre. The former testified that near Fort Ounha about 11 o'clock He heard n peculiar tattling under the locomotive , nnd on slopping at the next station , Omaha Heights , ho f junu n cock on the under sida of the locomotive knocked off. Ho picked tv shred of cloth off the machinery which ho believed was n piece of oiling rag. Ho did not see any blood on the locomotive , but noticed that tbo front , of the ash-pan wns covered with dust. Ho would not swear that ho was looking ahead at tbo point whore Williams was killed. Ho admitted having run ever nnd killed six men at various times. No testimony of Importance was elicited from the conductor. Pearl Brown , Emma Mnrtyns , Lottlo MoUlton and Charley und Minnie Ford , tlio tough looking crew who were arrested on the most vaRim rumors , without the advice of Chief of Detectives Mostyu , were next examined. Pearl Brown testified to drinking bcor with Williams In Partoll's beer garden. She loft for Ford's bagnio shortly nfter 9 p. m. , accompanied by Mike McCarthy.

The Fords testified that they were at homo the ontlro evening. Ford is the negro said to bo the murderer of Williams. Ho has a white wife and it is said that ho had threatened to kill Williams for keeping company with her. No ono saw him in the vicinity of the fort on the night in question , uad the tes timony of four persons besides Himself agree that during the Interim from the time Will- lams was last soon to the time ho was found dead Ford was at homo. An adjournment was hero talcon until 4 p. m. , nt which time the taking of testimony was resumed. Nothing now was elicited , the testimony being merely corroborative of what had been given' beforo. The soldier , Hull , testified that bo hoard a voice saying : "Don't do that , " but ho couldn't tell whether it was a man or woman who spoke. His memory seemed to be decidedly lopgy.
