in blKlit 1'ollco Hrevitles ,
At 3 o'clock jcstcrday nftcrnoon the police
Judge called up the case * against Fleming ,
Welch , Alkin and Scales , four of the mm
who were Implicated In the burglary of the
Larson tailor shop.
The complaint was read and Fleming and
Welch waived examination. Tlielr bond
was fixed nt $1GOO apiece , which amount
could not bo furnished and the prisoners
will § pcnd the rest of the summer in the
county Jail. Harvey Scales , the hackman
who huulcd the plunder away , decided lo
ptand trlnl and plead not KUilty to the charge
pf burglary. Welch was called to the stand
nnd lifter bulng told by the Judge that ho
need not criminate himself ho went ahead
nod toM his story.
Ilo said that Fleming nna Alkln proposed
the Job to him and that ho fell In with them.
He then described the work as already given
In Fleming's confession , omitting of course
his own part In the affair , except saying that
ho hclpud load the goods Into the hack.
' Ouptatn Mostyn testified as to a talk ho
had with Sonlcs. Witness said that the do-
approached him on the night In question and
told him that they had a load for him. They
drove to tiio alloy near the store and the
hack was loaded. The carriage was then
driven to Mrs. Ollmorc's houso. There
wasn't anything startling or now in the
policeman's testimony. Fleming was called'
next. Ho admitted having boon ono of the
pang and told about hiring the hack , but In-
listed that Scales did not know when ho
was hired what kind of work ho wat going
to do.
In his own behalf the defendant took the
stand and tolu about the same as already
related. Ho Insisted Hint ho did not sco the
goods piled Into or unloaded from his hack ,
as ho did not leave the box from the time ho
w.is hired until ho got back to Douglas
itrcot. The attorney for the defense asked
for a dismissal and the case was argued.
Judge Berlin reserved his decision until
today , when Alkcn's trial will como up.
Yesterday forenoon Mitch Fleming , ono of
the men implicated in the robbery of the
tailor shop , sent word to Chief Dotcctlvo
llazo that ho would llko to have a talk with
him and Hazo' had Fleming taken to a
private room ut onco. Then the prisoner
told his story of the robbery. Ho said that
31m lAlkcn told him that Larson had Just
laid in a big stock of goods and proposed
that they got a hack and carry the stuff
away. Fleming was willing nna spoke to
Buck Keith , but Buck declined to go into
the deal , so Aikcn went down town and got
Harvey Scales to agrco to use his hack.
"Humpback" Welch and William Nixon
broke into the place while Alkcn watched on
Sixteenth street for a policeman and Flem
ing on Fifteenth street. The hack stood in
the alloy near Fifteenth street. As the
bolts of cloth woro'-carrlod out Scales piled
thoai up in the hack , and then Aikcn and
Fleming climbed in on top of the goods
and ttio cnrrlaco was driven to Mrs. UI1-
moro's residence.
The crime was committed between 10 and
10UO : o'clock In the evening , during the hard
rain. All Implicated were to have au equal
share In thu spoils.
Mrs. Jennie Guillemot or Gilmore and her
lister , Eva Thompson , were also arraigned
In the police court yesterday and
charged with receiving stolen property
to the amount' ' of $750. The women waived
a preliminary examination and bail was
Qxod at $1,000 each.
Another complaint was then read to Mrs.
Gllmoro alleging the larceny of 300 worth
of diamonds from the Brunswick hotel. In
this case us in the other tl'o prisoner
waived examination and bond was lixeil at
1800. The attorney for the women said that
lie expected to arrange bonds for his clients.
These complaints will not , however , end
Mrs. Gllmoro's troubles. According to De
tective Haze the woman , while sowing ac
Mrs. Burts house , -ll'J Cuss street stele
Bilks and Jewelry valued at $00. This crime
she has confessed. Guests of the Madison
hotel are to como in for a little interest in
the ease also , for the prisoner itoeps on con
fessing as often as she is placed in the
sweat box. She admits having taken cloth
ing , jewelry and diamonds from ttio people
at that place. This afternoon Detective
Hnzo will take Mrs. Gllmoro out to her
homo and compel her to dig up the stuff
stolen from Mrs. Bun and from the Madi
son.
* In speaking about the case Chief Hnzo
said : "Mrs. Gllmoro Is , besides bcinfj a con
firmed kleptomaniac , a very cheerful and
willing prevaricator. Shu has told 1110
enough falsehoods to make a book , but be
fore she guts througti talking she generally
breaks down and confesses to some now
thoft.
The police are naturally greatly pleased to
know that the.tmvo broken up at least ono
pang of thieves who have boon working the
town for the past few months.
Mrs. Eva Thompson , sister of Mrs. Gilmore -
moro , furnished $1,000 bonds yesterday after
noon Aim WIIH given her liberty. There isn't
much hope of Airs. Gilmore being able to
furnish $1.600.bonds . and she will most likely
remain in jail until her case Is called in the
district court.

Deputy Comptroller Westborg's confidence
in his ability to distinguish between men of
different nationalities whoso only claim to
distinction lies in the appendix afllxcd to
their names was severely shaken yesterday
afternoon when ho discovered that a city war ,
rant in the sum of $47.90 belonging to Pcto
Peterson had been delivered to Peter
Peterson , who could rightfully only claim
f 1 ! } from the municipality. The county ofll-
cor not possessing an indellblo Impression 11of
the countenances of the two men on the
tablets of his memory , was unable to furnish
a description as to who was the "son" or
' the "son" or which wus Peter , the Swede , or
'Pete , the Dane. '
The former subject of King Oscar had
only worked a few days for the city , some
little time ago , when repairing the damngo
occasioned by washouts was made neces
sary , while the ono formerly owing
allegiance to Denmark's ngu
monarch Is a regu ;
lar city qmploi o , under direction of the park
board.
The Potor-"son" calling for his warrant
received the "sen's , " as well as the cash
tlicrcon , from tha city treasury , making
thereby a clear gain of $35,1)3 ) , which , how
ever , landed him ultimately In the city bas-
tllo , while the Inscription "forgery" adorned
the police register opposite his naino. cdr
Oflleer JHpojn was the cause of the latter ,
and when nrat called upon to unravel the
mystery : In names ho was a little at sea him-
golf , but the clover guardian of the peace ,
aftorh limiting' ' hlKU and low all after
noon , solved the problem by ho
arrest of the right party on the corner of
Thirteenth and Faruam streets at 7 o'clock

MAJOR BALCOMBE'S CASE.
Aimwor of the City Filed to Test the Clmr-
tur Provision.
Judge Wakcley and Assistant City Attortho
noy Cornish have filed tholr answer In the
case of St. A. D. Dalcombo vs the city of
Omaha.
Counsel for the defense doubts the nppolnt-
mentof Major Balcombo and acknowledges
his services as a member of the Board of
Public Works from July , 1S92 , and further
admits that the act of the legislature of
April 8 , 1SUJ , scorns to have been legally
passed and enacted , but claims admit as to
the truth of-the statements regarding the
proceedings of the two houses of the legis
lature.
Defendant further admits that on or about
April 13 , 1S93 , the mayor assumed and pre
tended to appoint plaintiff to bo street com
missioner until the lirst Tuesday in July , but
denies the right of the mayor to mako' such
appointment and claims that his acts with
reference to the said plaintiff are null and
void , and that plaintiff did not duly act as
street commissioner nor lile nor offer to file
a brfhd for the faithful performance of his
duties , and that , hence , ho aid not qualify.
Defendant further denies that salary was
due the major at ttio rate ot &i,000 per
annum , nor at any ratg exceeding $1,000 , and
admits refusing to pay plaintiff at the rate
demanded. The answei * lOses-witn the ad
mission that the city offered to pay Major
Balcombo $ S3.8'J for his services for ono
month , and declares a willingness to lot him
have Judgment for that amount and no more.

"Physically , the Union Pacific Is In ex
cellent condition"said , Comptroller Oliver
W. Minks yesterday mornlng"btit financially
wonrocotnpcllcd to retrench In every depirt-
men . Wo have mot our August Interest
and the other obligations falling duo on thnt
date , with money to spare , but so gloomy is
the outlook that our attention is wholly
directed toward cutting down expenses.
"When 1 I was m Omaha several weeks ago
things looked moro hopeful than they do
now Nebraska and portions of Kansas
prormso magnificent returns , hut the
enormous trackage of the Union
1'aclflo west of North Plaito glvos
little hope of yielding satisfactory
returns for ninety and possibly for ICO days.
The western section of this con'Uncnt Is In a
condition that
absolutely requires from us
the most nggrcsslvu attempts at retrenchn
ment. The movement of the commodities
from these western sections has completolv
stopped [ , to our great ( lotrinicnt. Our yards
are lllled with empty freight cars , our en
gines tire lying idle in the round houses , duo
to tho'comploto stagnation in business. "
"Then 5-011 hnvo rciffctied bedrock ? " inti
mated the newspaper man.
"Bedrock has been reached , " said the
financial light of the Union Pucllio system ,
a man who for fifteen years has followed Us
various fortunes , hopeful , conservative , aT1
ways on the side that a brighter day was
coming for the ton thousand nntl odd miles
ot track that stretches away to the horizon's
rim
rim."Hut
"Hut wo must have something more than
bedrock ut this time to counteract the in-
lluunccs at work. Wo will bo compelled to
reduce our forces still further nnd may pos
sibly ] have to cut salaries to meet the present
exigencies. This last is a stop which \vo will
discuss very conservatively before takine
,
but It will probably hnvo to ho considered.
Mr. Clark's well known sentiment regarding
the men in his employ will postpone this
action to the last moment , but when J.tll
other sources fail to meet the requirements
the the last resort must bo accepted as In ,
evitable.
"As to a receivership , It hasn't oven b.een
thought of. Wo ere meeting our obligations
| Jnt they fall duo. Our credit is first-class ,
and physically we are in good condition. But
there is nothing coming in. Commodities
arc not moving ; corn is not yet harvested :
wheat is practically n failure In Kansas and
Nebraska. Colorado , you know , has shut
down her silver mines nnd the country west
feels the force of the situation. These are
conditions nnd not theories that confront the
railroad man. and they must bo met.
"
"Corporations are represented to bo soul
less , but wo do know the young men In
Omaha and In Denver are not particularly
well paid , and therefore a reduction in sal
aries will bo thought only at the last mo
ment. I am hopeful that this will not bo
necessary , but in these times ono cannot tell i
what will bo needed to ineot a stressful situ
ation. ! "
While Mr. Mink did not say so. It is under
stood that an extraordinary meeting of the
board ; of directors of the Union Pacillc sys
tem has been called for next Tuesday "at
Boston , when it is thought the directors ,
after the whole situation ii oxplainejl to
them by Mr. Mink , will order a decrease in
salaries.
Following ] up the order for retrenchment
on the Union Pacific some 1,600 miles of
passenger service will bo discontinued on
Sunday , trains Ts'os. 7 and 8 between Ogdcn
and Portland being taken off. This will glvo
that largo section of country only a day ser
vice , the night service being abandoned.
As rtti example of the sombrcncss that
exists in railroad circles it is stated by a
gentleman who knows whereof ho speaks
that 150 telegraph operators have been dis
charged from the service of the Union Pa
cific.

CHICAGO , Aujr. 3. The Santa Fc will go
out of the passenger business between Chicago
cage and St. Louis. On August 10 it will
abrogate its trafllc agreement with the
Jacksonville Southeastern , which is now its
St. ( Louis end so far us Chicago is concerned.
Its intention in this respect was announced
today.
The reason for this action Is that tho.I nek- .
sonvillo Southeastern has become too heavy
a load for the Santa Fe to carry. It has not
been paying oxiionsos , ami the Santa Fo has
now to meet the deficit. Another reason for )
the stop Is that the Jacksonville lias proved
unmanageable. It has kept Its Chicago end
in a state of constant
turmoil and harrass-
mcnt , and through its rate-cutting procliv
ities it has bean the cause of several rate
wars.
Extensive reductions are to bo made In
the passenger service of the Burlington
road. Trains are to bo dispensed with
wherever this can bo done without serious
Inconvenience to the public. Three through
trains are now running dallrbotwosn Den :
ver and Chicago. Ono of these will bo done
away with and similar action will bo
taken with trains on other divisions. These
reductions have become necessary In the 30n
totcst of economy , and on account of the
falling of ! In general travel because of bard
times. The chances now under contempla
tion will go Into effect August 11) ) .
The cross earnings of the Milwaifkeo &
St. Paul road for the month of July de
creased $2G'J,000 as compared with those oDf

was killed about 10 o'clock yesterday fore
noon near Thirtieth and
Dodge streets by a
runaway team.
According to tho"statements of eye wit
nesses the team was first seen coming ever
the hill on Dodge street near Thirty-fourth
street. The mules were on a run , and when
the Thirtieth street crossing was reached
the driver was thrown on to the cross trees
and the mules began to kick. Ono of the
clevis pins hud broken , lottincr the singlctico
down onto the heels of ono of the mules , and
this accident was the cause of the runaway.

the rear wheels threw the limp body into
the gutter. The frightened animals wore

MORTUARY MATTERS.
July AVns n Tntal Month , In Omaha , ns
Klaewherr , for Children.
The report of the Board of Health for July
has been prepared. So far as the urovalcnco
of contagion is concerned the report shows
the city to bo f roe almost wholly from that.
On thu other hand , the numbar of deaths recorded -
corded Is the largest known for any ono
month. The highest number of deaths re
corded In any ono mouth of last year was
110 , while this year it. is 181. The July
mortuary record discloses the fact
that the greatest number of deaths
have been among the children , the
result of the midsummer complaints so
generally prevailing among the little ones.
During July there were reported to
the board thirty-three cases of con
tagious diseases , divided as follows , with
fatalities : Diphtheria , 5 cases and
2 deaths ; scarlctina , 3 cases and
no deaths ; typhoid fever , 1 case and 1 death ;
measles , 0 cases and ! ) deaths Of the
thirty-three cases , those not proving fatal
have recovered , and no now cases have boon
reported , which leaves the city free from
contagion of any character.
The number of burials in Omaha reached
170. Of this number 137 were recorded
deaths occuring in this city , eight prema
ture births and ilvo burials from outside.
The mortality amoug the different ages was
as follous :

forty-eight of the little ones and consump
tion of the lungs nine. Sixteen deaths
