V < .Local railroad circles were considerably
r nfritatcd yesterdoy concerning an ndver-
t' ( Uiticnt of the Wabash to the oitjct that on
Saturday next tickets , one faro for the round
trip , would bo plaoed on sale , entitling the
purchaser to transportation from Omaha to
St. Louis nnd return. The announcement
was made over the name of the general
upont of that roiul at this point
Jt was openly asserted \iy \ rlvnl representa
tives that the agent in question usurped th'o
authority of niakint- the announcement and
tli at neither the Wabash nor any other line
liad us yet any right to place tickets on sale ,
Inasmuch as the rate had not been author
ized by tlio Western State's Passenger asso
ciation. The ofrtduls of tbo WnbaHli at the
headquarters of that road denied taat any
suc'f rate had been authorized , and a tele-
pram was received frnm St. Louis stating
th.it thov hnd Informed the competitive lines
thitt such waa the case.
General Agent Clayton , of the \Vabash ,
whoso name appears in connection with the
niincuncemorit of the one-fare rate , declined
toolTorun explanation. The representatives
of the competitive lines state , however , that
if the Wabasli acts arbitrarily they will Oo
likewise.
To Ho ADniulnnnd ,
The matter of discontinuing the half-hourly
nuburban train service between Omaha and
South Omaha , on the Union Pacific , is now
boliiR considered by the otllciala of the com
pany. Slnco the trains liavo boon In opera
tion the patronage has been fulrlpood. . Hut
owing1 to the motor company's competition
tbo opinion prevails nmong tlio olllulals that
a division of the trafllo would benccompanicd
by an iticoma insulllolont to warrant tlio op
eration of half-hourly trains. It la thought
tbat they will ba abandoned in a faw days.

Colnroil Itcpubllcnn
The representatives of. the colored race
throughout the city , to the extent of twenty-
flvo , mot la the pollca court chamber last
night for lha purpose of organizing n. colored
republican Icaguo. The mooting was called
to order by P. J. Williams. The temporary
organization was affected with Dr. M. O.
HictcotU as chairman , F. L. Uarnott was
chosen secretary.
E. H. Overall addressed the meeting on
the purposes Tor which the organization was
brought about. "This ts n move , " ho said ,
"for th'o purpose of vindicating the pro
visions of the constitution. If this bo the
medium of bringing attout a reform In our
laws , and 1 think that It ts , 1 run ono of its
most hearty supporters. And , in spanking- ,
let mo rofnr to nn action that blots the fair
iiixmo of the United States. A short tiuio
ago an individual was appointed to n
foreign mission by the highest authority of
this government , and , because African blood
coursed through his veins , ho was basely
subject od to Insults such us no partv , no
race , should countenanco. This has boon
pasted over ns n mere coincidence , and if
no body of men representing our race takes
up this issue , this organization should con
sider it nn imperative duty , mid urge
thut fair treatment bo given the colored man
ns prescribed in our laws. Wo meet
hero to-night to foster our cause , and by
working in harmony wo may bo ublo to help
each other In more tluin ono way , and let us
consider that a uonellt to ono is a benefit to
nil. "
Price Saunders dilated to omo extent on
the colored man in politics. Ho stated that ,
while ho had been u life-long republican , ho
had arrived at the conclusion that the col
ored mnn should adhere to party lined
only so far ns his own conscicnco dictated ,
Independent elements , in his opinion , were
instrumental In accomplishing a great many
tilings. The republican party , ho said , had
done u great deal for the negro , and its party
principles merits consideration by every col-
ore tt voter.
A. H. Willis took up the condition of the
colored voter la the south. Ho said :
"Wo Imvo n broad question to
consider in our own behalf. The con
stitution of the United States requires
three-fourths of the states to pass upon
amendments to that document. Wo should
nrgo upon congress to remedy this system.
With the solid south arrayca against us , it is
impossible to procure the required threo-
fonrths , and the ravages and bloodshed of
the south will go on. "
Alfred Uarnott believed that reformation
should be lirst brought about at homo. Ho
said : "Wo have a civil rights law in
Nebraska , but it is inoperative. The
negro is not free in every sense of the wo d.
A colored man gumginto atonsorlnl establish
ment conducted by a white mnn is informed
that 'no black soap' is available. Is this
freedom ? Is this an equality of rights ? 1
nm in favor of Ignoring party lines , and or
ganizing us a protective body. "
Ctiairuinn Htckotts discussed the situation
of the colored race at some length. Ho
stated that further legislation was not the
issue. That the move to bo made wus the
enforcement of the law already created. "I
am opposed to color being made a distinction
among men , " he said , "as It 13 the workings
of tlio Almighty that causes this distinction
to exist. Is it fairl Iot mo toll you that
we liavo respectable wives and daughters
among us that are not accorded privilecos
that are extended dissolute women. OOQ
forbid that such matters go on.
Let us organise in our own powers ,
and do what wo can to wipe out this distinc
tion. Cast your ballots so that their influ
ence will bo concentrated on this movement ,
and in this way the time will come when
color will not bar your wife or my wife , your
children or my children , yoursalt or myself ,
from any and all privileges that may bo in
existence. "
13. U. Hell sooko nt length nn the subject
of equal rights , setting forth his belief in an
ultimate social reform.
'Iho question of permanent organization
was then taken up and a committee for this
purpose was appointed bv the chair , as fol
lows : James Smith , E. F. Franklin and P.
J. Williams. 1'ho committee ronorted as
follows : President , A. H. Willis ; vleo

Primary Kleotionfi.
To the Editor of THIS UEB : Did the last
legislature pass a ln v requiring a man to
swear at the primary what ticket ho voted
last November ?
Who has the appointment of judges nnd
clerks at pritnancsl
Did the republican control committee make
any rules governing the primaries ?
Sunsoiiinnn.
A voter at the primaries is not required to
swear what ticket ho voted nt the last elec
tion. The law provides that in case of a
challcncro the judges may administer an oatli
of the usual form and make record of nil
answers to questions propounded. They may
require the voter to provn that ho has
amiintod with tho' party for a year. They
huvo discretionary power to accept or reject
votes , if the answers nro not satisfactory.
The appointment of Judges and clerks of pri
mary elections is vested in the respective
party committees , and they can adopt addi
tional rules nnd regulations for the govern
ment of the primaries. Such regulations
must be in harmony with the law , which was
designed to prevent fraudulent voting and
limit balloting to members of the party by
whom the primary is called. Polls must bo
open from 13 in , till T o. in.

THE PRISONER OF FORTON.
ATnloof the Revolutionary War by
Kl\vurd ( tjvorctt llulc.
Those of you who liavo hnd fjrantl-
fnthura or urcal-graiidfathers who were
talcon prisoners of war when they were
cruisinp in American privateers have
hoard , I do not doubt , of the prison ol
Norton in England , saya a writer in the
Sunny Hour. It was in tins prison that
the American prisoners UUcon at HCU
were kept. And ti very hard time they
had of it until Franklin was at last able
to arrange that they should bo ex
changed for prisoners taken by Jones
and others from English ships.
Ono of the prisoners of Iforton , who
remained there eighteen months or
moro , wtis Captain Loo. of Marblohcad.
The privateers of Salem , Marbleheiul
and Beverly were the terror of all
Englishmen who sailed upon the seas ;
but in BOIUO udvflnturo , which I need
not toll here , Captain Leo , of Marble-
head , waa overmatched , and so had
boon carried into England with his
crow and was imprisoned at Forton.
Exchanges were not then easy , for the
English govern meat had not at first de
cided on its course about exchanges.
Ono day , after poor Captain Leo had
lingered there mnro than a year and a
half , ho was called to the door and told
that a gentleman wished to see him.
This gentleman provoil to ho a man of
military air , who toolc Captain Lee into
a corner and pressed into his hand , pri
vately , a purse , which proved to contain
seventy-five guineas. With equal
privacy ho said to him that with a nart
of the money ho must buy , before
night , from some of the attendants , the
dress of ono of thop'rison workmenand
that when the relief came around , ho
must ho in an out-of-the-way place _ ,
where lip could fall in with the relief in
the twilight and pass outdido the prison
proper unobserved. ' 'But to go out of
the whole inclosurc , " Btiid his friend ,
"you will nocd to know the counter
sign. " And so ho whisporeu to him the
countersign of the day. Captain Leo
nskod who it was to whom ho was in
debted , but the at ran cor would not toll
him.
him.All
All fell nut just as this good fairy had
said. Some loafer among the workmen
was not proof to the temptation of a few
bright guineas , nnd as night caino on
Captain Lee clothed himself in the suit
of clothes which ho had bought. Ho
fell in with the relief and no ono ob
served him. Ho came to ono and
another sentinel who challenged him ,
and ho ' 'approached and gave the
counteraignl" Ho passed out into tlio
dark town , and there ho was puzzled
about the btroot , when ho mot again his
friend of the morning. This gentleman
congratulated him on his liberty , put
him into a carriage which was in wait
ing and sent him to a seaport , whence
ho could take passage for Franco.
The whole experience was ns great a
wonder to Captain Leo as if the stran
ger had been nn angel sent from heaven ,
as in a certain BOIISO ho was. Hcavon
is very apt to send as its messengers the
persons who have boon moved by kind
ness done to thorn.
It proved afterward that the myster
ious B trim got- was no loss a person than
General Hurgoyno. Ho also had been
a prisoner of war. While ho was at
Cambridge , in Massauhubotts , ho had
boon under the immediate rhargo of
Colonel Lee , who was Captain LOO'B
brother. When Burgoyno was ox-
ohnnfrod ho had promised Colonel Lee ,
for whoso kindness to him ho was grate
ful , that , ho would render any service in
his power to the prisoner at Forton.
Colonel Leo had intrusted to him the
Hovontv-avd guineas which ho had de
livered to Captain Lee , nnd it was ho
who had whispered tlio valuable coun
tersign to him.

bus but seen the glorious sunlight for a
few hours. "Aro you not glad to be out

"My chamber was darker than the

And a little way off two ether drops
foil together , drawn by mutual sorrow.
They wander down side by side , noilhor
speaking. The gay flood dashes on the
banks , flushes over rocks , makes a feint
of climbing up to seize the flowers that
blow above it , and rattles laughingly
away. Some of the drops , too venture
some , throw themselves up at the bend
ing sprays of green and are caught and
lost. But through it all the two sad
little things , holding on to ono another ,
iloat on toward the sea ,
"And what nro you ? " asks ono at last.
"Did you come from the mist or from
the cni'lli ? Wore you a drowilrop this
morning , or did yon fall from the
cloudsV"
"I am none of those , " it answers. "I
am from tv woman's bright oyo. I am
the tear of a woman for her false lover. "
"Griove not. lo not so bad. I am
the tear of the girl who got him. "

E , L. Dlunchnrdtho English dramat
ist , whoso death has just boon recorded ,
was borne eight years ago at the Arun-
del club , when an old friend observed
to him : "Blanchard , I urn seventy to
day , and am now able to toll you , as u
linn admirer of David Garrick , a story
associated with my birtliday. When I
was a llttlo hid , six or seven years old ,
I was playing with my hoop on Adolphi
ton-ice , whore yon now live , when I ran
against a very old lady , who wus totter
ing along on a stick. I was bogging her
pardon , when she said , 'Llttlo hey , did
you oyor hoar of David GurrickV' 1 re
plied in the negative , and she wont on :
'Ho was England's great actor and my
husband , and the friend of Dr. .loiihon
and the illustrious Mr. Bunco. You
will hear of him in the future , nnd if ,
when you ranch seventy instead of
seven , you moot any ono who remem
bers him with rosnoet , give to him from
mo , as I now give you , the blessing of
the widow of Davla Garriok.1 And , "
continued the friend , "that day having
now como , I pa a , Blnnohurd , the hand
shake and blessing to you. " It was with
considerable dramatic point that this
story was told , for the study In which it
was narrated had oncohoon occupied by
Garrick himself , and his death-mask
was a prominent object in it ; and to
lovers of Htoruturo it will seem strange
that there was living in London only
yesterday ono who was removed l > y a
fllnple handshuKc from a lady , who , as
Boswoll attests , hud moro than once en
tertained Jensen and liurko ut the board

can over bo got to admit that the Ileus
are born horo. They come from Puy-

brought here by the Arabs and Algorl-

public vehicles and hotels swarm with
them , is inconceivable to him. In the
