A burglar visited the reddenee. of Mrs. Goodyear , Xo. 19 Washington avenue , at 11 o'clock Wednesday night and succeeded in frightening the lady , who is a widow , and her two daughters , who llvo with her , und receiving a good substantial fright himself. The family were tearing up to move to Omaha , and nuurly all the household goods were packed ready for hauling and a portion of them were out in the yard. Mrs. Good year had received a considerable sum of money during the day and feeling a little timid took it from her pocket and concealed it in her bedroom. The curtains were up , and she thinks the burglar saw the precautions she'had taken to save h T money. At the hour stated she was ' awakened by' hearing the window softly raised in a room adjoining her bedroom , and , entering the room quickly , she found a man with his head and shoulders beneath the ( > ash. The window is about llvo feet from the ground , ami the burglar hud taken a frail iiower .stand and leaned it against the build ing to stand on. The sudden appearance of the lady startled him , and as ho ( lodged buck he knocked the Iiower stand from under his feet As he fell the window came down with him , catching him on the back of the neck , with his chin on the Inside of the window in a position to break his neck or make him an easy capture. The lady , unfortunately , did not have the courage to seize the window and make a guillotine of it , and after n brief struggle the burglar released himself and dis appeared. This Is the second attempt to burglarize this lady's premises this spring. ANOTIIHIl ( > VIiAVKHIC At the Koston Ktorc , Council The ribbon sale advertised for this week at the Boston Store.

An other move wns made yesterday , and it show how earnest the business men of the city are in their efforts in this direction. The directors of the motor company held a meet ing in Omaha yesterday afternoon , and a proposition from several of the representa tive men of the Bluffs was presented by Hon. George F. Wright , secretary of the board of directors , It was to the effect that If the company would sell commutation tickets , limited to thirty days and good tor fifty rides , for $ i.M , to he used before S o'clock In the morning , nnd between 5 and 7 o'clock In the evening , the signers would furnish a bond for $10,000 , with sureties to bo unproved by any one named by the company , to make good any falling off In the receipts for the year fol lowing its adoption , as compared with the year preceding. The proposition wns signed by Thomas Ollicer , 1' . Lnov , S. P. MacCon- neil , 1) . W. Archer , II. H. Van Brunt , 1' . C. Do Vol. C K. llnmmn , J. 10. F. McGee and Walter I. Smith. The understanding Is that the bond shall not be Hied until It is signed by at least one hundred citizens , each of Whom will bo gu.u-antoed by some b.mker to bo good fur their share of the bond. Several of the parties who nro pushing the matter went to PivsUUmt Stewart of the motor company yesterday morning and re quested him to introduce the proposition ut the directors' meeting , but he accorded them n very frigid reception , ami refused point blank to accede to their request , stating that ho was opposed to any such move and would have nothing to do with it. The committee were not disheartened by this discourteous treatment , and tltmlly sough tout Mr. Wright , Who kindly agreed to present the proposition. When it was Introduced Mr. Stewart , evinced nn undue haste to adjourn , and car- U'ied his point before the matter could bo dis cussed or acted UKm. All that could bo done Was to refer it to the executive committee , composed of Messrs. Stewart , Barton , Wright mul Wells , who will ii > | x > rt UIKHI It at the next meeting , which will be held early In .lune , as soon as the comimny's new office at the corner of Twenty-eighth ami Avenue A Is completed. All meetings hereafter will bo held onthls side of the river. President Stewart was soon yesterday afternoon on his return from the meeting and Interrogated regarding the action taken , but ho was not in it mood to bo interviewed. His move to prevent the introduction of the \royosltlou hud uut been successful , and inas much as opposition Invariably gives him a violent attack of Indigestion it was no wonder that ho foil badly. "There was nothing done that I am at lib erty to give to the newspapers , " ho growled as ho glaicd upon the reK | > rter who had pre sumed to approach unbidden the presence of the grand mogul of the motor company. Such n sudden fall In the temperiturc was too tnurh for the scribe , who made a dasli to reach the summery weather outside. Mr. Wright was then looked up nnd ho stated that ho had no idea what report would bo made bv the executive committee. Said ho'Tho : committee Is composed of two Council Bluffs men nnd two from Omaha , and that ought to Insure the question unbiased consideration. Mr. Kvnns nnd I nro in favor of a reduced fare , and I bellovo that Mr. Millard - lard Is favorably Impressed with the showing that has been nwdo by the board of trade committee. "I don't know as Mr. Stewart nnd Mr. Barton can bo induced to change their opin ion , but Mr. Mlllard Is not an optnlonatlvo man. lie does not consider hlm-self Infallible and believes that the opinions of other people are entitled to some consideration. Ho is noon to conviction and is ready to entertain the views of good practical business men. If he can bo shown that the desired move would benefit the Bluffs and would not hurt the company he would bo willing to grant concessions , and I think the same is true of Mr. Wells. The t eduction cannot bo secured against the wish of a majority of the board of directors , of whom there nro six. It I" yet impossible to toll what the result will be , as this is the llrst real move that has been made towards securing a reduced fare. I believe that it will be successful. It often happens that a lover Is dismissed at first , but ho gets there Just the same after a while , and 1 think that if the committee keeps ut work , the desired concession xvlll bo mado. " Some of the members of the committee were seen and thev were positive that they would secure the reduction. Said ono of them : "How can the company stand out In the face of our proposition f Wo really took them up at their own terms. When wo asked them to give us a ft cent fare morning and evening , they said that there were : K ) regular passengers who worked In Omaha and lived in the Bluffs , and that if they were to reduce the faro they would lose over # 9,0M ( ) a year from these passengers alone. This was of course the only loss that they could claim , hence wo offer our indemnifying bond of $10.000 , which more than covers It. They can't lose anything 'by ' it , and it is certain that the increase ! in business would much moro than make up for it. If this isn't fair , I don't know what is. We must have the re duction , and our citizens show their faith In It by offering to put up this guaranty. SVo are interested in the Bluffs , but wo don't want the motor company to do business at a loss for our benefit. What benefits us benefits them , and all wo want is something that gives both sides a Tail- show. " Director Kvans is in favor of the reduction , as ho has been all along , but ho was not pres ent at yesterday's meeting , und neither was Director Wells. Said Mr. Evans : "I want to see a reduced fare , because I know that the company will make more money by it. It don't do lor mo to go over there and push it , because some of the Omaha directors think that my interest is solely on account of my bottom property , and misconstrue my mo tives. I know that commutation tickets would pay. Why. I would agree to take the road in the summer tlmo ( I wouldn't agree to do it in winter ) and make more money on a straight . " cent fare than can bemadoon a 10-cent faro. But I am not advocating a straight 5-ccnt fare , for I think the commutation ticket is good enough. That provides for the working classes who work in ono city nnd live in the other , and the transient trade , or those who only cross once a week , or once a month , can pay 10 cents. " The position taken by Mr. Stewart is that the proposition is the entering wedge to secure a straight iVcont fare , but that this is an erroneous and untenable one is shown by the proposition itself , which provides that with the exception of the commutation rate at the hours stated all rates are to remain as at present. If the company should put on a straight . " > - cent faro after accepting the proposition , they would by their own action release the bond put up by the citizens of Council Bluffs. It is given out on nil sides that President J. T. Stewart is the only obstacle in the way of a reduced fare , and that if ho would only have agreed to it the reduction would have been made long ago. It is quietly hinted that Mr. Stewart lias oven threatened to resign if the reduction is made. Ono thing is certain , and that is that the president , in his lordly way , lias been having remarkable good success in miming things just as ho wants them. It is understood that nt the previous meetings of the board he has maintained that the citizens of Council Bluffs do not need any reduction of faro , notwithstanding the universal de mand that they have been making for mouths past for cheaper transportation between the two cities. Thus far ho has made It work , but public sentiment has been aroused to a point that promises some surprising develop ments. It is becoming understood that ono man , and ho n citizen of Council Bluffs , is holding back the desired change and an effort will now bo bo made to show the other mem bers of the company how matters stand in the BlulVs. _ The members of the chief marshal's staff will report mounted at the southeast corner of Bayliss park at l'iM ' : ! ) p. in. today.

The InluibltantH of the Wcot Const of Newfoundland In a Dilemma. H.u.ir.ix , N . S.May 20. The Eehosnys this evening : "H seems that mutton on the so- called French shore on t\ip \ western coast of Newfoundland nro rapidly nppronchlng n crisis. In cometiuenco of the action of the commanding officer of the French war ship In Bay St. George requiring the Inhabitants to take up their nets the people hnvo mfnsoct to recognize the right of the government of Newfoundland to collect Import duties , the reason being tltat unless protection U afforded by the govern ment the right to levy duty can not bo main tained. The return of duties Illegally Im posed for the last thirty years was discussed by the Indignant people , who number nearly twelve thousand. " A Bay St. George correspondent says the commander of the French warship Indro or dered the Inhabitants to takoup their herring nets. The people refused. The French officers then came armed and took up the nets , de stroying some of them. The people applied to a local magistrate , established by the St. Johns government on the coast , for protec tion. Ho informed them that ho was power less to lend them any assistance. The her ring fishery is ono of the principal means of livelihood of the people and if prevented from prosecuting that occupation it means complete ruin to them. He-solutions were telegraphed to the governor of St. Johns nnd the Emerald has been ordered to proceed to the scene of nction. " A 1'LOT TO KHtl. Till ! < 'ZA It.

The threatening storm did not prevent r fair audience from attending the compllmen t.iry concert to Mrs. Hegina Atwater giver in the Young Men's Christian nssoeiatioi concert hall last evening. Mrs. Atwater had two solos , each of whicl was followed by an.encoro which was Imper ative. Her first selection , "La Prcmavera , ' ' was sufficiently difficult und'sulllciently well rendered to convince nn audience of the ladv's great gift of song. She sang with feeling and expression which to nn ordinary audience means moro than technique and trilling ability. But. Mrs. Atwater has both. Her singing of Clmdwiok's lullaby was a treat appreciated by the audience , which re fused to bo satisfied till she had responded with the familiar "You'll Remember Mo.1 Miss Margaret's beautiful contralto was heard to good advantage in Cowin's "Kissing Gate" nnd "Twickenham Ferry , " which she gave as an encore. Nothing can bo said of Mr. Lombard. He nlwavs sings well , and his selection. "Thy Sentinel Am I , " by Watson , gave his grand bass full play. Mr. I. M. Troynor rendered "O Promise Me , " by DeKov'en , with good effect , and wns recalled. Miss Bella Hoblnson , ttio accomplished pianistc , played brilliantly , as usual , nnd was very gracious in responding to the encores to the delight of the audience. The selections wore within the comprehension of the average music lover and sufficiently classical to please the ex perts. The opening number , a trio , "Tho Flower Greeting , " by Mrs. Atwater , Misses Hoedor nnd Llddcll , another trio by tlio same artists , "Tho Tempest , " by Campunn , and n duet , "Tho Fisherman , " by Mrs. Atwater and Mr. Lombard , were among the moat enjoyable of the evening. _ _ Dr. Birnoypruetieo limited to fiitarrh- iil diseases of nose and throat.

Yesterday afternoon they turned ono of their horses into the yard in the rear of their store , Sixteenth and Webster streets , A few minutes later they sent Emil Sumo , ono of the clerks out to get the animal. As ho approached preached the gate the poundmaster wns ahead of him and was just in the act of leading the liorso away.

Owing to the heavy rain the mass meeting called to discuss school bonds did not mater ialize at Muller's hall hist night. During the evening a few of the Second warders dropped In and in an" informal way discussed the question of the issuance of school bonds at the coming election. The sentiment ex pressed was decidedly against the bonds , the taxpayers claiming that it is not only a scheme but that instead of the Second ward getting Its proportion of the amount pro posed to bo voted , only $10,000 is to bo ap propriated , and this sum to purchase a strip of laud In Hartman's addition. Tonight a mass meeting will bo herd in Diedham's hall , Twentieth and Pierce streets , where tlio question will bo fully discussed. 1G02.

The lovers of nice , clean minstrelsy enjoyed themselves immensely nt Boyd's last night , where Cleveland's big company showed to an audience that filled tlio house. From start to Jlnish there seemed to bo a continuous roll of aughter and applause , oven though some of the jo'.ces , the stories and songs let loose were aged. Billy Swentnam and Billy KIco , the famous end men have not 1m- iiruvcd since last .seen hero bull they are funny nnd entertaining enough without wasting their time introducing new ideas. J'hey would do well , however , to cut that' Lirchomu stump speech act in cities where it las been done before. The musical features of this organization are extra good und most ill the specialty turns t ivo splendid satisfac tion , but nothing surpasses the Japanese out- ilt. who perform some marvelous feats in balancing , juggling , rope walking and Lrapezo business. Manager Cleveland banks largely on the gorgeous manner in which ho mounts and dresses the first part of his per formance. It certainly makes an attractive sight. The Fisk Jubilee singers appeared at the Grand opera house to a small audience lust night. Tho'programino consisted of old-time negro melodies which were rendered in a characteristic manner. Although the audi ence was so small us to ho very disappointing : o the singers they acquitted themselves ad mirably , and sung tlio melodious plantation songs with all the effect which has character- zed the singing of this company of vocalists.
