pany lor ISrcurh of Contract.
A suit lias been begun in the federal court
which involves mutters of more than ordi
nary interest to the city of Omaha. The
Union Pacific railroad is the plaintiff and
sues the East Omaha company to compel
them to fulfill'flio terms of a contract en
tered into by the two companies June 1 ,
1SSU.
It is claimed that according to the con
tract the Kast Omaha company bound itself
to deed the railroad n strip of land 100 feet
wide and extending the entire length of
their river frontage. In consideration of
tills the Union Pacific was to construct
tracks to connect with the tracks of the
East Omaha company according to the di
rections of tlio latter.
The petition also alleges that thu Hast
Omaha company agreed to grant the Union
Paeitic railroad th" exclusive right to locate ,
build and operate tracks across all east and
vvest streets except Locust street nnd that
the Kast Omaha compaiiv lias recently
broken the contract by its arrangement with
the Kast Omaha Bridge company. Tlio peti
tioners ask that the defendants bacompelled
to fulllll the previous contract und that it bo
enjoined from granting any rij'Ms m tlio
premises to any other corporation.
Judge John M. Thurston. general solicitor
of tlio Union Pacific , in speaking of the
matter said : "The contract between the
Union Pacific and the Kast Omaha i and
company was substantially tills : The Union
Pacific was to build a main track into Kast
Omaha and sueti sidetracks ns should be
desired for industrial plants there estab
lished. As a consideration for this tlio Kast
Omaha Land company agreed to give us a
deed of the right of way which wo should
require and not to grant any other company
or companies any privileges upon their
ground. But remember lids did not prevent
other companies from cominc in by coa
domnation pivicoodingH. This 'exclusive'
clause , as it may bo called , was one 01 the
chief inducements to the contract and it is
this clause which ttie land company has
violated by transferring rights to the bn igo
and terminal company.
"At the same time wo made a contract with
ttio Burlington , giving it the joint use of any
tracks wo should build to and in Kast
Omaha. Some two years ago the Kast
Omaha Land coinpany asked us to construct
a sidetrack to nn asphalt plant which John
Orant proposed to build. We did not lay the
track because ttio plant was never built ami
because also tlio Union Pacillc felt that it
ought not to do ony more work until the
promised deeds for right-of-way were given.
U'o had alrcaify constructed two miles of
main line and numerous sidetracks , and felt
that it was the dulysj'f the land company to
do something in return. I am informed that
this Is the breach which we are alleged to
hnvo committed and upon which the
land company bases its hopes of
winning in the present contest. As
to this alleged breach , I have only to say
that the company which I represent feels no
uneasiness as to the outcome. , believing that
tlio courts will not look upon it as a breach.
I doubt very much if the land company ever
deemed it n breach on our part , in fact 1 be
lieve it fully imtemled to carry out the terms
of the contract until the bridge and terminal
company was-organized. Wo hnvo always
stood ready , and now stand ready to carry
out the further terms of the contract upon
receiving a deed ns promised. The policy ot
the laud company for ttie past two years lias
been to procrastinate and to profess during
tliis time a willingness to glvous a deed , but
it lias failed until now to do so.
The Union Pacillc company lias already
expended nearly $100.000 in Kast Omaha.
Tills it lias done willingly ami in good faith
with the expectation that the Kast Omaha
s company would act in tlio sanio way. The
Union Pacific has a right to expect that the
3 terms of its contract be carried out and shall
3 insist upon it. This hill In equity was tiled
simply to prevent the Kast Omaha company
from disposing of tlio privileges granted to
the Union Pacltlc company. There was
some question as to whether the contract
could bo recorded , so us to give Innocent
third parties notice of our rights , and this
suit was begun principally for this pur
pose. So soon us it was begun
the world hait notice of our rights and II
any one then bought of ttio land company
they would buy subject to these rights.
Whether the Burlington mail will bo on our
side in this controversy , I cannot say. All 1
know is this , that many of the prominent of
tlcials of thu Burlington own stock in tin
Hast Omaha company , and Mr. Greene , theh
attorney , acts for both. Further , the Bridgi
and Terminal company \yas organized within
the Kast Omaha company ami Is practical ! )
the same institution- Yes , wn believe wt
have thu right in the matter nnd ahull no
give an inch. "

ST. Txfi3 , Mo. , April 10. The fruit crop
of the greater part of six states was ruined
by the frost Saturday night. Thai fruit
only which blossoms before its lirsl leaves
are fully out was hurt. Including pears ,
apples and peaches. The states thai suf
fered were .Missouri norlh of tlio Oznrk
mountains , Illinois , Indiana half of
Otiio. northwest Pennsylvania and
northern New York. The fruit in the north
ern states , wlvcro there was much less warm
weather , was not as far in bloom as in Mis
souri and the more southerly states , and
therefore suffered less. The Olden fruit
farm , in Howell county , a farm of about ! 1,2W (
acres , probably escaped through being south
of the frost line. Strawberries were not
sufficiently matured to be hurt much by the
frost , but they will bo held back materially
by the cold.
UIHTOX , Intl. , April 10.Snow fell here in-
dense clouds during three hours Saturday
nlghl. The mornlnir was clear and frosty.
Apple trees are badly burned by the frost.
Injuries to poach trees are not yet percep
tible , but fears ar ; entertained of general
destruction of the fruit crop. All tender
garden stulT Is bitten to the ground.
IIit.i.Minno , 111. , April 10. A eolil wave
struck this section Saturday night and ice a
half Inch thick was formed. Fruit men say
tlio fruit crop has been materially injured if
not entirely killed.
KMI'CIHU , Kan. , April 10. The cold snap
of Thursday night was followed by another
even worse Saturday night , ice forming
quite freely in vessels exposed out of doors.
The fruit trees , which are in full blossom ,
do not ns yet show much effect of the frost ,
but early radishes , ocas and other vege
tables look extremely bad. Fruit has un
doubtedly suffered severely in tills vicinity ,
although it will take time to develop.

WASHINGTON , D. C. . April 16. Word has at
last been received by Adjutant General Wil
liams from Lieutenant V. J. Brumbajk. Second
end infantry , the erratic o nicer who persists
in neglecting his duties in order to enjoy the
quiet and seclusion afforded by u primitive
cabin constructed by himself in ttio lonely
fastness of the mountains , about twenty-live
miles distant from his post , Fort Sherman ,
Idaho. The communication is in the shape
of his resignation from the army. This Is
thu second time he has resigned , and
It is now moru than probable
that his wishes will be respected.
His lirst resignation was suspended in order
to determine his mental condition , and lie
was brought to , Washington for treatment
at the Government Hospital for the Insane.
While he showed himself perfectly rational
and thoroughly callable of taking caru of
liimsplf , he promised Adjutant General
Williams lie would go to the hospital , but
Instead of doing so he took th lirst train
back to Ills mountain retreat , which seems
to have such n strangn fascination for him.
His first step on reaching there was to for
ward Ills resignation to Washington bv the
lirst ofllcer of the post sent out'in search of
him. Tito adjutant general has sent a hitter
to the coniniandlnur officer at Fort Sherman ,
inquiring into Lieutenant Brumback's con
dition , and further action will depend on the
reply.

hand to assist with the music und in ad
dition to lUshnp Iknvinin and the pastor ,
Hev. T. C. Webster , the following ministers
occupied scats on the pulpit platform and
assisted in the services : Uev. O. G. Sterling ,
of the Lowe Avenue Presbyterian church ;
Hev. Alfred Hodpetts. of the South Tenth
Street Methodist church ; Klilur T. U. Clen-
dennind and Kov. Dr. Hoe.
Ulsliop Howman preaclie.l a very Interest
ing sermon , taklnp as a text the 35th vcr.se
of chapter xx of the Acts , which reads as
follows : "I have showed you all tilings how
that so laboring ye ought to support the weak
ami to remember the words of the Ijord
, ) esus iiow lie said , it is more ulusscit to give
than to receive. " '
There were smiles upon the filers of a
great many in the audience when the bishop
had llnished reading the text , for it is cus
tomary at Methodist dedications to ask for
money. The speaker eu'ight the significance
of the smile and before ho had gone very fat-
in the illumination of the passage he had
chosen , ho tool : occasion to say that he sup
posed many of the audience took H for
granted that the principal me.ining he in
tended to bring out of the text would be that
it was more blessed to give money than to
receive it. hut lie would disabuse their minds
at the very outset by saying that the money
[ aestion was but a very small part of the
meaning of the text as ho saw it. lie wished
to apply the text in a broader and more com
prehensive sense. Ho wanted the people to
keep in mind the entire verso and to read it
when they went home.
There arc a great many thiiiirs in life that
people could give thaj. would do more good
than money. The entire being ought to be
consecrated to the service of God unit
hristian men and women , the speaker held ,
ought to be ready tp give that which tlio
circumstances required if they had it.
ometimes a word of kindness or a smile or
ii glass of water would do more good than
money.
lOvcry individual was. a bundle of wants
unit when those wants were legitimately
supplied the effort brought happiness to the
giver and to recipient.
The speaker introduced numerous illus
trations showing tne trutli of the last part
of the text. He. saiil that there seemed to
bo a great many people in the world who did
not believe that it was more blessed to give
than to receive , but if was a fact , neverthe
less. Ho held that.itjWas moro blessed even
for God to give than to , 'receivo , for when be
blessed a poor human being t created joy in
heaven such as could not be experienced on
earth. Speaking of selfishness the bishop
said that there were too many people
who felt like the little boy when his
mother gave him an apple and told him "to
divide it with his little sister and to bo
sure and bo generous.
"What is being generous ? " asked tlio
young diplomat.
"Well , it is giving your sister the biggest
piece , " replied the mother ,
"Well , you Just give the apple to sister and
tell her to begenerous , " responded the rising
stock broker.
At the close of the sermon the bishop said
that it was his pleasure-to ask the congrega
tion for some-money. Ho considered it a
pleasure for the reason that ho had been at
it so long , anil out of the twelve hundred ami
some odd churches that ho had dedicated in
ttio United States , only about a do en of
thorn were clear of debt at the time of dedi
cation. Uhe Wesley church had cost the
congregation but ahout ? l,500. owing to the
fact that the building Imd been donated by
the Ilanseom park congregation. Rut the
cost of moving and of repairing and painting
had run the congregation behind about 700.
and the people were therefore asked to con-
tributa this amount.
The subscription plan was adopted and in
about an hour ail but j" > 0 of the required
amount was pledged. U was decided to post
pone the dedicatorial services until the
evening , at which time the remainder of the
money was pledged and the church was

XV'onU from Which Itrv. .Uurr.iy Voiced
Some I'lulu Truths.
Hanscom Park Methodist church was
filled last evening with persons who were
desirous of hearing what Itov. W. P. Mur
ray him to say upon the subject "MilKsops
Men. " The consisted of
or sermon a power
ful arraignment of persons wiio were luke
warm in their efforts to purify tlio public
morals. Tlio time had come , lie said , to
set against all those persons who were op
posed to the development of Christian
character and virtue. The Christian citi
zen should not bo preyed upon by vlco and
criminals. Individuals might forgive per
sons for attacking them as Individuals but
society and tlio cliuivh could not , they must
be uphold. There wris a class who needed
the terrors of tha law1. There should bo no
sympathy for the murderer , the adulterer ,
these engaged In $ hoj liquor tr.iflle , tlio
Homish ehurcli when it attacked the public
schools , or for those who desecrated the
Sabbath day. . 1 wiis tlio duty of Chris-
tains to strike at thch'e evils. If they did
not , civil and religious.Uberty would bo en
dangered. , : . ,1 ,
The attempt to make vice respeetablo ho
did not believe in. While ho would not lift
liis hand against a fiiUen woman , he hoped
the virtuous laiMes QfitUis city would not as-
soeiato with und taUo into their homes ,
these who were steejKni in vice. This would
bo social equality , wilh n vengoanc ? . He
wished to help the criminal classes as much
as any one , but wheti they organized and
were determined tq defeat the law , then
the Christian worlds should rise up and op
pose with all its might. The "milksop"
men would never accomplish anything in the
cause of morality. Only these who look a
determined stand could root out existing
evils and purify the moral atmosphere.
1.AltOlt AND CATITAI , .
Her. Crnmhlrt Spoik nt the Itelatlons of
the Two CltiMm ,
Rev. T. E. Cramblet. pastor of the First
Christian church , talked last night on
"Labor and Capital. " Ho ehoso for his text
the words , "For the laborer is worthy of his
hire. " The pastor spoke about the apostles
who labored in the vineyard of Christ for
the glory nnd reward that was to come here
after and directed the attention of those
present to the great haven beyond the grave
for all those who are faithful in this world.
Capital , ho said , was the great stumbling
block for the poorer classes nnd one that
many fell over because vast amounts of
money invested In any business barred the
ndvnitcomi'nt of the laborer , to n great ex
tent at least.
During his sernlon Or. Cramblet said Hint
ninny people thought that the churches had
no sympathy with the laburlmr man , hut the
truth was that many a tvl.itdotmry nnd
churchman worked harder for C'hrlut nnd
tlio church than the laborer dlil for his em-
plover.
Then he told r.hout the sympathy and re
gard he and his church had for the Inhering
man and thought , like the chapter in the
scriptures , that the laborer was worthy of
his hire.

How u Chicago Mini Attempted to Aninlro
ItlrliiM ,
Cincvoo , III. , April 10. For n mouth past
letters containing money addressed to the
German Mutual Benefit association have
failed to ro.icli the hands of the company's
oftlecrs. The association has an ofllce on tlio
fourth floor of the Schloesser building.
After investigation Postoflleo Inspector ,
Christian and Gardner became convinced
that the ste-illngs were carried on in
the building. Six test letters were
placed by ti.e carriers in the associa
tion letter box early Friday morning. When
the olllce opened for business only one letter
remained and its contents had been changed
from . * J'J ) ( ) cash to a check payable to the as
sociation bearing the date of April II. Later
m the day Canute Dahlcron cashed postal
notes at ilie North Siilo under the name
of Seamans. These were tlio identical notes
placed in tlio test letters by Inspector Chris
tian.
Saturday morning tlio inspector called at
the company's olllce after the carrier had
placed mail in the letter box and before the
onlccrs of the association came down to
business. Oahlgren was standing outside the
olllce door , and after .spcuiting to the inspec
tor he opened the tloor airl went inside. A
noise in the vicinitvof thu letter box told the
inspector lint D.ihlgren was at work. He
came out presently , reclosed the ofllce door
nnd entered an adjoininir room. Here he
was surprised by Inspectors Gar.Iner and
Christian. He broke away from the officers
atut rushed downstairs to the basement ,
where lie threw some papers into the boiler
lire. Then he submitted to arrest and when
searched one blank taken from a letter ad
dressed to the company was found in bis
pocket.
When brought to the inspector's ofllco in
the government building D.ihlgren con
fessed that lie commenced His operations
last October. His plan was to unscrew the
letter box fro n theolllcij door of the associa
tion and take out the letters. By a steaming
process lie opened each letter , and these
containing money or postal notes ho nllcd
and then hurned. Letters which held only
clicks or papers not negotiable lie resealed
and put back in the letter box. The money
taken was in small sums iMngins from -i : to
$8 , assessments mailed by members of the
association. The total loss of the associa
tion is about fiOO. As the letters stolen by
Dahlgrui had oeen delivered and were thus
out of the possession of the government lie
cannot ho proceeded against under the
federal laws. He was taken before Justice
Urayton , who held him on u charge of lar
ceny.
