It Is not often that people nro permitted to
wakoupln the morning and see from their
back door steps two houses that have sprung
up tlko mushrooms during the night , but
those who llvo near the corner of Fifth nvc-
nuo nnd Third street had that experience
yesterday morning. At about half past i )
o'clock a sound of hammering and sawing
was heard , but Iho sleepy listeners thought
Unit It was made by tin industrious mechanic
In n carpenter shop near by. If they had
arisen nt about (5 ( o'clock they might have
seen half uilo/on Industrious mechanics Just
leaving for homo , with their work done , and
two houses small ones , to bo sure standing
ns monuments of their S.ibbath labors.
Ono of thu houses stands at the northeast
corner of Fifth nvcnuo rnd Third street ,
while the oilier Is some distance awny , nt the
head of what Is known ns "Turloy's Glen. "
The building of the bouses Is simply a. now
chanter In Die case of David Gray against
Mrs. Jennie White , which has been pending
In the district , court for the past two years.
The names of Gray and White h.ivo been
coupled for about ton yc.irs past in the courts ,
by reason of disputes as to the ownership of
land In the city limits , the vnluo of which In
all Is about fSIUKH ) . U. H. White nnd U.wlcl
Gray at one tlmo were partners in the real
estate business , White furnishing considera
ble moro than his share of the capital , nnd In
return for this hud the deed * tosomooftho
proi erty made out to him , in order to secure
the repayment , of the money which ho fur
nished. According toGuiy's statement , White
failed to furnish all the money which ho had
agreed to , but still claimed the land as his.
White , on thu contrary , claims that the laud
belongs to him nnd that Grav has no color of
title to It. The dispute has given rise to al
most nn endless amount of litigation , and ,
Judging from appcnr.incc , the fun Is not over
yet.It
It scorns that White's tltlo although good ,
Is not the best. Gray's Idea was that if ho
could got possession of the property ho could
then make White show up what tltlo ho had
to the property , and in that way have the de
fects brought to light as ho could not do
In any other way. This accounts for
the building of two houses. Ono of them , so
Gray says , ho has leased to Gcorgo Drake ,
and the other to Jacob Rogers , two of the
men who assisted in the building of them. It
Is thought , however , that both Dr.vko and
Kogcrs nro simply tilted by Grnvtolivo in the
houses in order to keep possession within the
limits of the law.
U. II. White , who 1ms supposed nil along
that ho owned the lots upon which the shnnt-
ios have been constructed , was seen at his
house at the corner of Thirteenth avenue nnd
Sixth street yesterday afternoon. Until ho
was so mfoimcd by a Bun reporter , ho did
not know that nnj thing out of the usual run
of things had taken pluuo. Ho had not had
tlmo to consult his attorneys , Messrs. Hnrl &
McCabe , so that he was unablu to say what
ho will do about the matter.

Will They Convict Him ?
The autborltcs nt the transfer nro tolerably
certain that John Williams , who Is now in
conllnomont in the city Jail , is the man who
1ms been working the grangers ut the depot
for some tlmo past nt.d yet they are afraid
that they will bo unabla to convict him.
When ho , Ofllcor McMIlllan and Hopuins ,
the young man whom It U supposed Williams
was trylng'to contldoiico , wuro on the car to
gether on Saturday , coming up-town after
the arrest had boon made
, Williams put In a
good dual of time talking to Hopkins. At the
tlmo Ofllccr McMillan did not know what ho
was saying , but afler Williams had
been safely locked up Hopkins said
that Williams had asked him to tell the po
lice that they were old friends , and that they
were going out to Grand Island together : all
of which Hopkins lofiibcd to do , Hopkins
also claimed to have had his suspicions
aroused boioro the arrest had been nude , bv
Williams' answers to some questions which
were to put to him by Hopkins for the pur
pose , ho now claims , of toning his acquaint
ance with Codur Haplds , which Williams
claimed was his old homo. Thcro was not n
thing on Williams' ( iciNon which could possl-
bly tend to criminate him , nnd It h regatdod
as extivmi-ly doubtful If n case can bu made

The party was mot at the depot by a co m-
mltteu of local louncilmcn , headed by Birk-
hauser of the board of public works.
They were driven to the Mlllard hotel
where they partook of brcakf.ut
They were then culled upon by a number
of members of the council , und several of
them attended dlvlnu scrvico hi churches ot
different ilouomiimtions.
'it'J.liU o'clock carriages were taken nnd
the visitors , accompanied by the mnvor und
no.iriy all tlio members of the council , were
driven through the city , among the thorough
fares traversed being Sherman avenue ,
\Vlrt , buundcrs nnd Twenty-second htieot to
tbo hlsh school ; Dodge , Twiiitv-lifth , Far

und through Forest Hill and thence back to
the Omaha club at the corner of Twelfth and
Fnrnaro streets. The carriages were there
dismissed nnd the visitors sat down to nn
elegant lunch which was discussed until
about 8:30 : In the evening.
Mayor Cushlng presided. There were
present also the following members of the
council :
Chairman Lowry , Morearty , Specht ,
Burdish , Elsasser , Uruner , Tuttle , McLcarlo ,
Olscn , Cooper , Blumernnd Conwoy.
Tnero was also present by Invitation
Chairman Birkuuuser , City Engineer Tillson ,
License Inspector Kilcy and Postmaster
Clarkson.
After the cigars had been passed , the How
of eloquence commenced , Mayor Cushlne
le.idins with n \pplly-wordcd welcome.
To this response was made In beliaif of the
visitors by Chairman Flood , of the nlder-
manlc board. Then followed speeches by
every gentleman present. The efforts of the
visitors detailed the objects of the visit , the
fe.uures they had noted In the cities through
which they had already passed ,
nnd the surprise thov experienced
In their drive through this city. They
admitted that they had not been prepared to
lind In Ouinha a city with magnillcent build
ings , bioad and paved streets and avenues ,
railroads running In every direction nnd in
dustries giving employment to thousands of
men.
men.On the other hand the speeches
of tbo local olUciuls elaborated the
resources of the country beyoni ]
and tributary to this city , the possibilities of
Omaha and the gratitude of the people en
tertained for thu Hub , the capital of which
bad so largely entered Into the upbuilding
and development which had been noticed
on every hand.
This rcclprccity of sentiment nnd appreci
ation conduced to the formation of Imn
friendships between the reproaonta.
lives ol the two cities. It also led
to some brilliant forensic efforts , mainly
those of Mayor Gushing , Ck-rlc Gulvin
Postmaster Clarkson and Alderman Loo. It
was but natural that lu tbo broad scope al
lowed In tbo discussion that the bible should
bo referred to. It was remarkable , however ,
that but one gentleman seemed conversant
with the holy book. The exception was Al-
dLrman Leo , who , It was remarked , sleeps
with a pocket edition of the work under his
pillow. With him Postmaster , Clnrkson
crossed mi'tnphorical lances , but both were
alive In the arena when Iho tilt was brought
to u closo.

Ktcrnlty.
There is n woll-prosorvocl old Rontlo-
man In this city who has n mania for
( iinatuur tlriitnullu tiiul operatic perform-
nnucs. Ilo is known to nil the critics
and to many of the regular patrons of
theaters , because ho is also a liberal
patron of the professional stage. lie was
present at the latest amateur prod notion
the "llaco for Wire " which
a , was pro-
ducdat ISoyd'a several week's ago. Had
the piece been repeated , ho , of all others ,
would have been the first to secure his
scat. It mtij well bo doubted that there
are many such enthusiasts to bo found
in this city. Amateur actors are in
clined to bo sceptical regarding the
point , because , of late years , tho'-o of
them who have strutted before the foot
lights have found but few who were dis
posed to commend them and fewer still
who earnestly sought a repetition of
their pieces.
It may well bo believed that the days
of the amateur actor , in this city , linva
passed forever. Omaha has become too
metropolitan to encourage him and the
competition to which ho is subjected is
not such as lie disposed to appreciate.
The amatwir drama , however , nour
ished here until about bovon years ago.
It was well patronized and was gener
ally well presented. Since thattiim ,
however , Hie men and women who had
earlier distinguished themselves have
taken refuge behind their business or
homo cares , while their successors scorn
uiiablo to ingratiate themselves into the
good jrracos of the public.
There is lying before the writer a pile
of ancient amateur programmes.
They are lilled with names , the own
ers of some of which still linger in our
midst , of others , have gone , no ono
knows whither , and of others still , have
passed into the white radiance of eter
nity.
In tlio becoming times of the atnatour ,
the Academy of Music was the opera
homo of the town. It is now known as
the People's theater on Douglas street.
It looks nearly the same interiorly at > it
did in those days , save that it is a little
brighter and more paudy in its decora
tions.
The first progrmmo is a double hand
bill printed on rough , cheap uapor , an
nouncing the production of Sullivan's
"charming comie English onora , 'Tho
Contrabandist ! ! , ' May ii , 1877. " It is an
nounced that the opera "will bo given
with a , strict adherence to the
original composition , ' and the car
riages may bo ordered at 10:15 :
p.m. " In those days Omaha was an
early retiring community. The gas
lamps were fovr and wore extinguished
at midnight.
The piece dealt with mountain passes ,
ladrones , noble Spunrsli maidens , art

But the professor hovcral months ago
passed into the region of celo.stial musl

The stage director wa * Major Gus-
tavus Stevenson , a'gentleman whom
everybody know in those days , who was
greatly devoted to the stage and vyas
tlio exemplar of a school of acting which
oven then had grown old. Tlio genial
old man , however , lias gone to his rest.
"The Contrabandlsta" had never been
given by a professional company in this
country. There was consequently no
libretto to bo obtained. Nevertheless ,
the coin puny mastoted the vocal
score , and Major Stevenson wrote to
London for a stage copy. But that nec
essary book could not bo found. Would
Miss Rogers'company abandon the work
after the labor it had undergone in
learning the airs ? No , indeed. That
energetic and talented lady saw a way
out of the dllllculty. She dotormlnned
to write a libretto , and with the assist
ance of Major Stevenson she did write
ono. The literary skill of the ono , and
the stage knowledge of the other , built
up an acting play , which to a degree at
least , served Its purpose.
The critics in Omajja of these days , or
some of thorn at least , told the truth
about these performances. When they
critidscu , it was not for the hake of
criticism. It was to point out defects
and suggest improvohri'Ants. Tlio load
Ing writer of thb time , however
a gentleman , wllo by the
way , yet rosidds in Omaha ,
says that the singing of Miss Rogers was
a surprise oven to thee who know well
her quality as exhibited in concert and
parlor. . "Accompanying an artistic cos-
tunio and make uphoriadmirablo action

Mr. Northrup , it is said , never man
aged liis voice HO well. Tlio niut-io of
Ills part lay In the high register and was
admirably rendered.
Mr. W. B. Wilkins mndo a picturesque
.lose and Ills-acting and slnu'lng captl-
\a oJ an audience whoso sympathies
woio already with him.
The llfo of tlio pleco centered in Grigg ,
by W. O. Sanders , und an 030 witness of
the production says "that ho doubtH
whether oven In London , where the
plooo was a choice favorite , taxing the
resources of tlio best minor theatres a
bettor Grlgg could bo found. "
Tiioro was a naina omitted from the
programme. It was not ono who had
been east to appear on tlio singe. It
was ono wlio mid attended every re
hearsal , whoso excellent tastes and pro-
else oxecutlon ns iv planisto wore of Iho
highest order. It was that of a young
woman loved by all her friends and sadly
and universally mourned when the
angels bore her beyond the skies Miss
Blanche Doucl.
The opera was repented a week later
to another largo house.
It wits a third tlmo produced , Tuesday
February 10 , 1578 , In this production ,
seine of the defcets noticed in
in the performances of the preceding
season were remedied. Notwithstanding
Lho excellent libretto , written by Miss
ttogors and Major Stevenson , there was
discovered an obscurity in the plot
sci'asloned by a palpable want of cornice-
Lion between some of the seones and
characters. Sovorul scones were re
written. A full orchestral neeompanl-
mont was given , being written by Prof ,
llolfnian , Prof. Mayor , later organist
at Trinity eathedral , wielded the baton
nnd Mr. Martin Gahn , no older now than
ho was then , was at the piano. Im
provement was noted in everything ,
especially in tlio ensembles , into ono of
which the boioro dance was introduced
by Prof. Lo Maltro.
Miss Caddie Campbell ( Mrs. Henry
Kstnbrook ) , appeared as the robber
riuoon this time , delivering several
lively and beautiful numbers with aban
don and singing them with both sweet
ness and expression.
This performance was given for the
benefit of the Relief society bueaiibo
there were poor in Omaha then as tboro
are now. and there were women lioro
endeavoring to euro for them. The
theater was packed and a goodly sum
was realixcd.
Commenting on ono feature of the
prog i ammo a writer of that day sent a
Lhrlll of dolightinto every Omaha heart
by the following words :
" \Vo could not help thinking of the
wealth and ros-oiii-ecs in a 'frontier' city
which produces a quintette so superb as
that which sang 'Tho Hand of Fate. '
Wo do not bollovo that the operatic
stage of this country affords a bettor
ono today whether for individual ox-
cclleiico of voice or skill in its uo. . "
These .words were penned fourteen
years ago and voiced the sentiment of
jvory Omnium. It would , perhaps , bo
Invidious to institute a comparison , but
In these days Omaha had lovor.s of
music who apurcciated what her singers
did. It was music rather than the act
ing which attracted the largo audiences.
In thib manner the taste for art was
cultivated and an innocent moans of
amusement afforded the people at a
time when traveling companies did
not frequently cbmo this way.
Bettor evidence of this dovotlon
to music could not bo desired than that
displayed in Iho ollorts to stage the
"Contrabandlsta. " Who would now
select an opera , the libretto of which
had to bo brought especially from Lon
don ? Who. nowadnvs , would undertake
the work of dovetailing the woids of
a play between the vetoes of a do/.on
bolos ; concerted pieces and choruses ?
Who , now , would undertake the writing
of nn orchestral seoro'i1 Ostensibly Sul
livan's oporatho only part that the com
poser might really lay claim to was the
music. All the rest was the work of
Omniums. It is not necessary nownow-
over , to undertake all " that was
then demanded to mtvko an opera ' 'go. "
The purchaser of a piece today may pro-
0111-0 , if ho desires it , words , llbrotto and
orchestial facoro , as also directions how
to stage it. With these things oven in
our favor the amateur opera is not often
produced , ana as a consequence , what
once afforded a great deal of amusement
to our people has been sacrificed for
other divortisoment. These singers and
actors , however , labored in a good cause
and are still fondly remembered by the
people whom they once so well enter
tained.

It "W'aH Unlit Yesterday While People
Were nt Church.
Ono of the most remarkable feats of
Sovonth-dnv track laying in this city was
accomplished yesterday.
Before noon nearly a mile and a half
of "T" rails had been laid
on Fortieth street , ut Its Intersec
tion with Fnrnam , thence west on
Dodge beyond tbo belt line , tbcnco north and
thence west again to Wilson street a short
distance from Curthugo nnd tbo western
boundary of the 2ir > acres comprising the
first subdivision of Dundee place.
Work was commenced ut fi o'clock In thq
morning. The heavy oak tlos and rails were
unloaded ut the intersection of the Belt line
und Dodge street. Several trains hunted
them to various points along th ? streets
mentioned and uero followed byustiong
foico of men vuiluh spitted and bolted thu
Iron as fust as It could bo delivered ,
The people atom : tbo route witnessed the
work with both .surprise mid dollght.
West of Fortieth btruot there Is no street
railway accommodation. These who reside
beyond that line have , therefore , to I ml til go
la the luxury of a horse and buggy or clso
tramp through the mud. The now road
soiuod to promise a much more acceptable
condition of nITalrs.
There was something about tbo work and
the men who pot formed it to lend ono to bo-
llovo that It was not Inspired by the Oinutm
street railway company. Tlio laborers
looUed llko strangers , and the foreman was
certainly a stranger. There WUP a noticeable
absence also of the Omaha meu who are neu
l ly on hand when such work Is being done.
The guiding spirits seemed to bo Mr. U
iV. Craig und a gentleman named West ,
> oth of Kmnni City. The former was nskcd
f tbo work was being done by tbo Patrick
nd compnnv.
"It Isn't , 'and It is , " ho replied. "Tho
oul ; Is to bo built Into Dundee place. The
.woplo have long desired street railway com
munication ami this U Intended to satisfy
the demand.
" \Vo have had dtfllcultyln getting our Iron.
Thnt didn't arrive till lost night. Thu ties
'iavo been here for some days. We huvo
: md our men waiting for several days , also
ready to go to work , but couldn't ' do any-
' hlng because the rails didn't rotno. "
"Have you n ftanchlso for thN strcotl"
"Yes. Wo are acting under the Motropol-
tan franchise which was allowed some time
ngo. "
"Didn't that propose to reach Dundee
nlaco along Davenport street nnd hasn't that
"ranchlso lapsed I"
"Tho franchise covers this street , nnd wo
lold that It U still In force. "
"What kind of motive power will you em-
[ iloy. and when will the roiid bo operated I"
" \Voshall us horses Hrst. Kventuallv the
road will become a motor lino. We shall put
two cars on a week from Monday. "
Another gentleman stated ( bat the line
would bo for the nccomtuodatlon of Dundee

f cost , and to whom tlcltets would bo
given which would bo good on the Fnrnum
street motor Hue which , terminates ut
