Knro presence of mind saved the property
and life of Mrs. Hhiehford , of JfUD Dodge
street , early Monday morning. The facts
were given to the pofico but kept from
publication that the villain might not tnko
alarm nnd lly from the city.
Hick Winficld , a burly , furly negro of
about thirty years , bus for four months past
been employed as porter about the Huts nt
the number Indicated above. Ho was saucy ,
yet respectful ; n drinking man yet trust
worthy , at least so thought his employer ,
Mrs. Ulnchfork. She had good reason so to
think. Two months nco n burglar broke
into the house and Wlnllcld caught him and
held him until odlcers arrived. The burglar
cot flvo ycurs nt Lincoln for the Job , and
Winliold rose to great trust In his employer's
houso. Of late ho has been drinking more
heavily then usual and his mistress thought
several times to discharge him , but refrained
because afraid that he might return and do
injury to herself and property. Her son is
expected to arrive homo on the Ifitn of
August anil she decided to allow Wlnlluld to
remain until then.
On Sunday ovcnlng nno of the renter * In
the lint paid to Mrs. Blachford n considera
ble sum of money , the amount duulrom thrco
boarders for the month. Win Held chanced
to bo standing by and saw thu money taken.
In that moment his resolve was taken. Ho
disappeared irom sight. Mrs. lilachford.
hid the money , Intending to place It in the
bank , as Is her custom , on Monday morn
ing. At the usual hour she retired.
About 4 o'clock the next morning she licnrd
a knock at her door. Frightened , she waited.
The knocking sounded again , louder than
bqfore , and when she made no response the
door was burst open and a man's llgurc up
ucared In view. The room was dark , nnd
Mrs. Blachford could not distinguish the
face or Jlguro of t'io untimely
visitor. Hut she kept her nerve
and called loudiy _ for Wlnllcld ,
the negro who was presumed to bo asleep in
the houso. Tlio burglar , for siu-li ho seemed
to be , approached the bed nml made a mo
tion as though to choke the bravo little
woman. Then , with a low , muttered curse ho
retired , through fc , r tnat the men in the
other purt of ( the big house would be awak
ened and come to tlio rescue.
A moment later the servant girl came
hurrying up to her mistress' room and lighten
a lamp. There on the table near at hand
was-tho long , kcoii carving Knife used at
the Blachford table. At sight of the terrible
weapon Mrs. Blachford nearly fainted.
A search was Imulo and It was
discovered that Wlnliuld was gone.
The matter was at once plain.
Ho had brought the kniTu from the
pantrv. intending to murder if necessary to
get the money , but weakening at the last
minute , ho lied.
As the pleasant , soft-voiced little lady re
counted the story last evening she shud
dered and expressed the perfect horror
which has possessed her since that terrible
morning. Bravo she undoubtedly Is , and
quick-witted , but It was not thought
best to leave the house unifunrdcd , as the
vindictive negro might return and wrcnk
vengeance at any time.
"Winlleldgot away with f 1 , which ho found
In a cupboard before entering Mrs. Blar.h-
ford's ' room. A vigilant search for "Winfield
is being prosecuted.
Vlc'Ims ol'tlio Hear.
Ed. Lambert , a grader work'ing at Twenty
tyllfth and Chicago streets , was stricken
by the heat yesterday afternoon a short titao
before 5 o'clock. He was brought to the
police station in the patrol wagon and placed
ill the hands of Dr. Ralph. An old fellow
named PatCorbctt , In for vagrancy , was left
for u time in charge of Lambert , who was at
the time unconscious , and a quarter of au
hour Inter Captain Green looked in and found
that Corbett , overcome by the heat , had
fallen to thu lloor in a faint. He was quickly
resuscitated , and felt none the worse for his
tempoiary weakness. Not so with
Lambert. For several hours tie
was unconscious , tossing about at in
tervals so violently that the strength
of four men was hardly sufllcicnt to hold
him. At ill-stills recovery was thought im
possible , but at midnight he was breathing
frcol.v and sleeping , with changes In favor of
ultimate recovery.
About 5 o'clock a lady foil upon the sidewalk -
walk near the vYnbash corner , and passersby -
by carried her into the oflico of Fitz & Day ,
wticrc medical attendance was summoned.
She recovered consciousness a couple of
hours later , and was driven to her home.
The lady's name could not bo ascertained.
Hlic HankH on Sympathy.
That young woman so extensively written
' up during the past few days as having boon
confined a prisoner in u "mansion" in this
city , and who subsequently cnmn to light In
police court In connection with a ? 0 prosti

because she had no money to liqui
date the ofllcinl oullgatlon. Her Irlcnds
xnndo arrangements to bail her out , and lis
tened to a very sensational and very ashy
story of how she had suffered in her inno
cence at the hands of the Philistines among
whom she was stranded. Men who cluim to
know her , but who wouldn't cnro to
have their names put Into print , state
freely their belief that the woman's story is
without basis in fact , and she herself an ad
venturess banking wholly on sympathy. In-
nsmuch ns the mimes given by this young
women up to date have boon far from cor
responding , DUO Is nameless hero.

that 4,7f 0 feet of the Chicago breakwater
need rebuilding , and b,4'M foot of now break
water must bo built. Calumet harbor ought

heavier built lake craft. The proposed

Marshall says the rottto to the Mississippi
river from nu.ir Chicago via the Illinois
river , is the most favorable tlmt exists for a
water route , ami that a 7-foot cnannel can bo
carried from the mouth of the Illinois river

Divorce nnd this liiiKliBh Court.
As everyone interested in such mat
ters now knows , the qucon recently
abolished the rules which prevented the
Indies who hud divorced their husbands
from appearing ut court , says London
Truth. A lady who has divorced her
husband for MH misconduct , there being
nothing against hur.solf , miiy now at
tend a drawing room , urovidod that she
rocolvca special porini&sion. which ,
however , is not grunted until the qucon
has satisfied herself , by reading the re
port of the trial in which the applicant
irgtirod. that the aforesaid applicant's
conduct has boon free from bltuno.
There has boon quite a rush of ladies
in this situation for leave to come to
court , and gomu who dcsirod to attend
tlio last drawing room were imahlo to
do so , us the quean had not found time
to investigate their marital antecedents.
Her majesty seems rather capricious
in the matter , for she peremptorily re-
fusud the application of ono lady whose
conduct has been absolutely blameless ,
although great interest was privately
oxorlod in order to obtain u favorable
ariHwor.
Tips.
The complaint of the traveler
against the English system of "tips"
mixed every year more bitter , says the
Boston Courier. H has become impos
sible for parsons of moderate means to
visit at largo establishments , no mutter
upon what footing they stand with the
owners , because it costs BO much to feu
the servants.
"I came awuy from England without
going to sue my sister. " a gentleman
said recently , "because 1 will not sub
mit to the tipping. Hoi * husband has a
big establishment , nnd It would make
all the servants think she hud shabby
relatives for mo to go there and not do
the conventional thing , and that I will
not submit to. When they were hero
last year they stayed with me- three
weokH , and when they were going away
ho wanted to fee the borvants , and I
told him that that was nn insult to mo.
I eaid that it wus an intimation that I
could not or would not have him prop
erly served without his paying for it ,
and that in America it wua a point of
honor with us U > see tlmt our hospital
ity wus not paid for by the ; guest. (
don't think ho liked tlio way I put it ,
hut ho could tiot think of anything to
say. "

Ceremony ,
A Prohibition Move nt Mnnnwn.
Messrs Odoll I3ros. and Louie , the owners
of the eighty aero tract ou the south side of
Lake Manawa , on which Manhattan beach
IB situated , are determined that there shall
bo no more saloon business carried on thcro.
It was at their request thai the recent move
was made against the beer Joints located
there , which resulted in the closing ot the
places kept by George Drake , James Koso
and John Klnncy. It Is their desire to have
a permanent injunction issued against the
property , and no more leases for saloon pur
poses can bo negotiated.
It is understood , however , that no moves
are contemplated against any ot the other
places at the lake , cither nt Wright's lauding
or on the north shore. The result of the
move Just made will bo appreciated by all
who have occasion to visit Manhattan bench ,
ns It will effectually remove the odium that
bus been associated with the place , not from
any mismanagement , but simply on account
of a few disreputable characters that have
been wont to assemble at these drinking
places , between the bench and Wright's
landing. Odoll liros. have worked hard
nnd unceasingly to conduct , a bathing
resort that could offer every attraction , and
it is no more than was to have boon expected
that they would remove the last trace of
anything that would tend to make the beach
unpopular nnd disagreeable for patrons.
The patronage bestowed upon the bathing
establishments ut the lake has increased so
rapidly this season that the accommodations
have been greatly Increased to keep pace
with It , and the work that has boon done ut
both Manhattan and Manawa benches Is re
ally remarkable. At Manhattan beach the
accommodations of last year have been Just
about doubled , and the buildings erected are
in every way superior. At Manawa beach ,
ou the north side of the lake , Mr. Malowney
has been constantly building nnd Improving ,
and has at last complntcd a bath house that
Is not surpassed anywhere. His last im
provement was completed yesterday , and
consisted of putting a roof over the west
bathing compartment , for the use of after
noon bathers. It will keep off the hot rays
of the sun , and will tend to greatly increase
the amount of bnthinir done during the day.
Next week the election of the ofllclals of
the now town will bo held , and It Is stated
that several important changes will then bo
inaugurated. The move to secure electric
light for the lake is not meeting with as en
thusiastic encouragement by the council ns
was anticipated. That the extension of the
electric circuit of the lake will prove a great
thing for the suburban resort there is no
question , and It Is oaiially certain that it will
eventually be built there , but the prospects
in this direction for the near future arc not
particularly brilliant.'J

Grief for the Whisky Holler * .
Some of the saloonkeepers are making a
loud and protracted howl over the unkind
action being taken by their ex-brethren in
attempting to Iinvo' their planes of business
closed uu. It seems that slnco Judge Dcomer
inflicted a few heavy fines for contempt of
court , during'his term on the bench hero a
few weeks ago , there has been a great deal
of work done on the quiet , wild the end in
; view of carrying on this work and cinching
other saloon men to keep them company in
their grief.
As nearly ns can bo ascertained , several of
the unfortunates who have felt the weight
of the strong arm ot the law on their pocketbooks -
books have secured the services of George
BoltOQ. csq. , to look after tho'mutter and see
that all are treated alike. Mr. Boltou was
asked yesterday regarding the matter , and
stated that nothing could be told as yet con
cerning tneir plans , but would simply say
that it was the Intention to secure a fair and
impartial administration of Justice , and to
see that there was no more discrimination in
favor of certain saloonkeepers.
A might naturally be supposed , the saloon
men now in business uro decidedly hot re
garding it , and denounce in unmeasured
terms the actions of Aielr less fortunate
brothers. It is asserted that the recently
developed prosecution proposes to * make a
levy against the saloon keepers that will
make them squeal when the time comes ,
The saloonists charge that the move Is made
solely to secure revenue , and the others
reply that it Is hardly fair for one side to
get all the fat things aud leave them out In
the cold. The developments will prove in
teresting.

"and that Is the practice u great many people
ple have of throwing the grass cut from
their lawns Into the street. When it comes
a rain it washes down to the storm sewer
openings and soon stops them up. This
is the only thing that seems to af
fect the Bowers , which uro working finely.
All that the city needs u lot of flushing
tanks , and these have been ordered by the
council. There Is no odor arising from any
of the sewers whore thcro is u sufllclent dis
charge of water to keep them clear of solid
substances. The council has ordered six of
these tanks , hut It will require about twenty
of them to keep thu ' entire ' system in perfect
order. If the citi 'qn.s'wiH bo u little careful ,
that is nil that Is pe'ccfcd. "

that Council H luffs Is bound to outdo the

WHAT BERLINER3 EAT.
Snusnctcs Into Which Horse Flcnh Is
Mixed.
The amount of animal food disposed
of in the German capital is such that ,
divided up equally among thu popula
tion of that city , it yields au allowance
of two and one-half pounds of meat n
week to every man , woman and child in
the place , including infants in arms ,
members of the legiblaturu and paupers.
In other words , says the London Tele
graph , eacii and every Berliner , irre
spective of ago , sex and political opin
ions , is olllcially credited with the con
sumption of 141 pounds weight of beef ,
mutton , veal , pork , lamb and horbo
fiesh per annum. No fewer than 7,000
horses are slaughtered yearly for the
Berlin meat market , their llcsh being
generally sold as ' 'butchers' meat" in
shops specially affected to the retail
trade in pfordefleisch , and partly
worked up into sausages , a popular va
riety of which is hawked , all hot , about
the streets late in the evening and dur
ing the smaller hours of tlio early
morn. Poor Prussians are much ad
dicted to horsellcsh , stowed in a savory
sauce ; nor do the well to do disdain it
as an occasional viand served under its
own name. In Germany , Italy and
even Franco the llcsh of horses and
asses is unquestionably "converted into
sassongors , " Hire unto the ancient hereof
of one of Mr. Samuul Wellor's most
growsomo anecdotes , in vast quantities ,
and imparts to thorn close texture , rich
color and aromatic llavor , in particular
to Brunswick "Wttrst , " "aMctadolla of
Bologna" and "Saueisson cio Lyon. "
The bulk of the substance to which
these dainties owe their being , however -
over , is pork , frchh or salted ; and in all
probability the 4,000 pigs that annually
pay the debt of nature in tribute to
Borlinnso appetites find their way lethe
the table in the shape of either sausage
or ham ; for the Prussians rarely eat
roast pork or fried bacon , whereas they
are never weary of btnokcd and cured
preparations of pig. Besides devouring
this porcine host , Berlin stands account
ant yearly for the violent death of 12V-
600 head of cattle. 131 , ( )0 ) calves and
345,000 , sheep be&ides a multitude of
minor animals , all of which vanish in
duo course down her capacious maw.
