The experience of John Dorkcnn , forger , would seem to Indicate that the death of a rich father Is ono of the luckiest tilings Hint cnn happen to n man In Jail , awaiting trlnl In the district court. On tlio 29th of last August Mr. llorkcns waived examination In police court on a charge of forgery and uttering forged In struments , and was held to the district court In Iho stun of $1.000 , which ho WIIK unable to furnish , ami In default thereof he was remanded by Judge llerku to the county jail. jail.The Information ngalnst him contained two counts , one for forgery and the other for uttering forged Instruments. The check which ho was accused of forging was as follows : OMAHA. Noli. , August 20 , 1833. No. - . Omaha National Hank. I' S. Depository. J15 15-100. 1'uy to A. Friend or order fifteen ana 1B-RO "ollnn KKUO 1IIBWINO | Co. This check was endorsed "A. Friend , ' and was passed by Uorkens on Joseph Yousem , better known as "Joe , the Tailor , " who docs buslnuHs at Sixteenth and Dodge. Ilorkens had ordered a suit of clothes there , and as ho was a stranger ho was required to make a deposit of $7.50 In advance. Ho tendered the check , but the tailor was rather aus picious , and would give but $3 hi change , stating that ho would Inquire at the bank and If the check was all right ho would pay the remaining $ l.cr > In the morning. Ilor kens left , and did not return. When Yousem called up the bank and asked about the check ho was Informed that It was a forgery , and ho Immediately realized that he was $3 out of pocket by reason of Ilor- kcns' rail. The tailor speedily wended his mournful way to the police station to lay the matter before the olllcers of the law , and was sur prised to find Ilorkens already In custody for his connection with a number of trans actions similar to the ono by which ho had vlctlml/.ed YoiiKom , the clothing check hav ing been the last of a lengthy series. The evidence In that case Ecemed to bo the clearest and most readily accessible of any of them , and Yousem signed a complaint which was drawn up by the prosecuting at torney containing the two counts above set il. KALEY WAS VERY KIND. That was August 2D , and Ilorkrns was ar raigned the snino day , and , waiving exam ination , was bound over to the district court and sent to the county jail. There ho remained until December 21 , when ho was released , a free man , by order of the court , on recommendation of the county at torney , the only stipulation being that Uor kens should pay the clerk's costs In the case up to that time. It is harly necessary testate state that Mr. Ilorkons was more than willIng - Ing to do that , and whllo the gates of the penitentiary were hungrily ajar for him , ho gave the warden the merry ha-ha , and , thanks to the kind consldcratlpn oC the court and County Attorney Kaley , he has never ' passed these gloomy'portals. . Touching the real why .and wherefore of such an unu&ual proceeding , the court record Is discreetly silent anil Mr. Kaloy Is equally so. There' are a few facts bearing on the case , Var , thnt are far ; " from uninteresting III VIOW 0 [ UtO BUIUICll-.luin UIIIAIJV > . .II.lui - minatlon of the court proceedings. In the llrst place , Ilorkens' offense did not consist of the passage of a single forged check , and , In the second place , the Krtig Ilrowlng company was not the only ono whoso name was attached to the forged paper to make It pass readily. Ilorkens had worked for the brewing company as a stable hand , which probably accounted for his use of that name , and ho had also worked In a similar capacity for Joseph W 1th- row at his stable on Harnoy street. It thus came to pass that Wlthrow's name waa also signed to some of the forged checks , one of which was passed on Herman Schaorter. a saloon keeper Just across the street from Wlthrow's stable. Still an other was passed on Earnest Stunt , at Eleventh nnd Mason streets , another on Max Meyer & Hro. , and aside from others that wore reported to the police at the time , Ilor kens had In his pockets at the time of his arrest several checks that ho was prepared to utter at short notice. They Indicated that ho had secured possession of a check book belonging to Andrew Peterson , the grocer , at 2713 Leavcnworth street , and had prepared several checks with forged signa tures , leaving the amount blank to bo filled In at n subsequent time. So far as known by Mr. Peterson none of those checks were given out by Ilorkens , as they have not been reported up to this time , but It Is In dicated that Ilorkens was doing a wholesale business In the forgery Hue , nnd his arrest was all that kept the number of victims at a binall figure. NO EFi-'oiiT MADE TO CONVICT. Not a doubt was entertained by the police court olllcors or by any of the victims that Ilorkons would bo convicted and sent to the penitentiary , as the several cases against him were as clear as the noonday Bun , 'and It was simply ix question of submitting the evidence to a Jury. The sufferers ex pected to bo called to testify against him In the district court , Just ns they had been subpoenaed and had appeared In police court on the day when Itoikons fooled them by waiving examination , but they have never received notice to appear against Ilorkens In the higher court , and what Is more they never will , for at Mr. Kaloy's Instance the case wax dismissed. Why did ho move to have It dismissed ? That is what several people want to know , among them being the ones on whom the forged checks were passed. The only papers In the case In the district court arc the Information nnd transcript sent up from the police court.

K15LL HEIR TO A FORTUNE.

Ills attorney. J. ( J. Tlpton. called upon the various parties ivho .had been victimized by him and refunded the various amounts of which they had been 'defrauded , and took > * up the bogus checks. Among others , Tlpton called on Yousem. remarking that he had u little account there that he wanted to settle , Yousem replied ' that ha must bo mistaken , as ha waa'sure he had never donu any work for his caller , but Tlpton was positive , and stated that It was the llorkeiu check. IIi refunded thu $3 and qnlldoj to Yousem thut ho was taking up al | the bad chocks that llorkenu had Riven. Ho allowed the astonished tailor a batch of bogus checks thut ho had already taken up. In EK' | klng of the matter , Mr. Yousem said ; "I ImU MDVCT expected to sea my money again , and was mighty glad to gut It back. Whim I wont to police court to file n complaint I found the table covered with the had check * that Darkens had parsed , and there must have been fully a dozen other complaint * , but the nttornoy took my case , which was the Lint ona that Ilorkens had figured In. After I sot my money back I had no anxiety to push the ca 8 any further and did not Rlvo It any further attention , but as I hnd previously filed the complaint nnd had bean called In pollen court as .1 witness , and the man was bound over , I supposed of course he would be tried In the district court nnd that I would bo called there ns a wit ness. I expected to see the case go on nfter It had been started , but I did not personally Interest myself about It , for I didn't care one way or the olher after I got out whole. I know I was never called as a witness In the district court , nnd haven't heard any more about It I understood that Ilorkens' father died and left him n lot of money , and I supposed that was what Tlpton was using In taking ip : the checks. If I had been called In court I would have had to tell tlto truth about the way I got tHe c.'ieck. but If the county attorney didn't wont to call me I wasn't going to mix up In the case and push It after I had got my money luck and didn't have any mora interest In It. " Mr. Wlthrow said he knew about the for geries of Ilorkens , as ho was mixed up In them by the unlawful use of his name. Ho know about the preliminary proceedings , but could not say what had become of the case , as he had heard nothing of It for some time. Ho heard that Ilorkens had como Into pos session of seviral thousand dollars by the death of his father , but couldn't see why a criminal should escape punishment because of that fact. WHAT THE VICTIMS SAY. Ernest Stuht said he did not know any thing about the case , as ho hnd been paid back the money ho lost , and his Interest In It ceased at that time. If ho had been subpoenaed ho would have appeared In court nnd testified , but lie was not called and ho had not sufficient Interest In the case nfter his cash hnd been refunded to crowd the prosecution of the guilty party. Mr.Schaeffer , In speaking about the mat ter , said that ho received the amount of the check cashed by him from Tlpton , Dor- kens' attorney , who told him , just as had been told Yousem , that nil the checks wcro being taken up nnd that there would bo no prosecution. Schaeffer was well satisfied to bo reimbursed , but said that he could not understand what right the county at torney had to dismiss the case , ns that olllclal know what witnesses to call In order to convict llorkcns If hq was so disposed. Adolph Meyer , another party victimized by Ilorkens , said that there ought to bo no diffi culty In convicting thai worthy , nnd said he had suffered from Ilorken'a dishonesty fully as much ns any one. Ho hnd em ployed Darkens for awhile , and Iho fellow had bought goods on his employer's credit , particularly big bills of groceries from Fleming and Gladstone , representing that they were for Meyer , but wnich ho haj con verted to his own use. Bills had also been presented to Mr. Meyer for articles pre sumably bought for use In the barn" , but which were not to bo found after llorkcns was discharged , and he had paid the bills though It was clearly a case of criminal dishonesty on the part of the erstwhile coachman. Mr. Meyer said that Dorkens came from the same town ns Chief De tective Haze and that ho was a protege of that officer. Haze had on ono occasion called to see M.eyer about Dorkens while Dorkens was In the later's employ , and had told him that Tlorkons' uncle , who was n wealthy resident of I'ella , la. , had employed him to look after Dorkens and see that ho was kept out of trouble. Ho did not know whether the employment of the detective had anything to do with straightening out Uorkens' trouble and getting him out of the meshes of the law or not. Certain It Is that sufficient Influence was brought to bear on the county attorney to get him to dismiss the case , when there was sufficient evidence at hand to have convicted him at least half a dozen times over , and that Influence did jiot get In Its work until after sufficient money was forthcoming from llorkcns' relatives nnd his father's estate to make It an object for hfs attorney to do a little vigorous work In his behalf. Dorkcns' parents lived in Holland , and It Is stated that he has now shaken the lost streak of American dust from his shoes nnd gone back there to enjoy to the fullest extent the new lease of liberty afforded him by the kind hn.irtmi nrnsneiitlnir attorney of the county of Douglas The part that the chief of detectives acted was that of go-between , acting on the quiet ns the representative of the mother- the prlbonor , who sent him a largo amount of money to bo used In clearing her son. Haze used a portion of this In. paying the attorney who defended Dorkens , and a good-sized amount was left nfter that was done. This , according to Haze , was used In getting the prisoner "a h 1 of a good suit of clothes , " ami buying him a ticket to Holland. At the time that Haze was directing his efforts to aiding the prisoner In escaplngipunlshment for his crimes he was also drawing his salary from the city as an officer of tha law , whoso duty It was to use all means Iti his power to bring criminals to Justice. > Ilmv n Chicago Sin" VVns Cureil of Itliou- iimtlsm.

An additional tent was placed 'in the vi cinity of the ono now occupied by the smallpox patients out on tha poor farm yes terday , which will be occupied by George Darker , who will preside ns outside guard nnd grub hustler. A wire fence will also bo built about the tents , nnd.no person will bo Allowed to go near. lir. Savllle visited the patients yester day. He says that Wood and Hammond wcro getting along as well as could bo ex pected. The scales have commenced to fall from Wood , and this Is a dangerous tlmo for the disease to spread. Stewart , the man who was quarantined with Hammond , has not yet taken down with the disease. Ho remains In the tent with the men , however - over , and assists Dorsoy Houck In nursing the victims. No person Is allowed to go near the tent except Darker , and a yellow Hag announcing smallpox has . been flung to the breeze from u pole on one corner of Jtho tent. y AH the persons who were exposed to the disease by coming In contact with Wood are being closely watched by Dr. Towne. It was ono week ago yesterday that Wood was discovered and It cannot bo determined for a few days yet whether those persons are out of danger. All of them were vaccinated and the operation worked nicely In each In stance. When Dr. Savillo called at the tent yesterday he found Wood In much better spirits than ho was Thursday. Ho dictated a letter to hla brother stating that howas being well cared for , was happy nnd hod no fear but that ho would recover. Wood gets letters from his friends every day and Dr. Towno has taken the pains to keep the chairman of his committee Informed ns to ho\v ho Is getting along.

There wcro only a few persons present In Judge Ferguson's court room yesterday when the judge handed down his opinion In the Jefferson square market house case. The opinion of the court was to the effect that the square could not bo used for the purposes sought , and the Injunction was made per manent. The opinion was as follows , and Is concurred In by Judge Hopowell : "Tho plaintiff seeks to enjoin the defend ant from entering upon the plat of ground known ns Jefferson equnre for the purpose of grndlng or Interfering with the trees or shrubbery or disturbing the surface of the ground , or from doing any not which will disturb or prevent the continued use nnd en joyment by the public of Jefferson square as a park. " Reviewing the proposition to locate the market house upon the square , the Judge saltl : "It also appears from the bond propo sition voted upon that the funds to bo re alized from the sale of said bonds were to bo appropriated not alone for the erection of a market house , but also for the purchase of a site. It now appears that the city Is nbout to expend the entire $200,000 In the erection of a market house upon said ground. "There are two propositions of law In volved In this case : "First. Can the ground In question bo lawfully used for the object proposed , nnd "Second. Can the entire sum of $200,000 bo used solely for the building of a market house under the propositions submitted to the people ? "In discussing the first point It Is neces sary to consider and ascertain first , whether or not the property In question has been dedicated to the public as a public square and park , and whether or not the city has accepted the same as such. It appears be yond controversy that Jefferson square since 1857 has been used solely for park purposes. To constitute a valid and complete dedication two things are neccsary : The Intention of the owner , clearly Indicated by his words or acts to dedicate the land to public use , and an acceptance by the public of the dedica tion. From the allegations of the bill the dedication and acceptance are clearly and distinctly alleged and by the demurrer must bo taken to bo true. Such being the state of this case , can the ground In question be used for any other purpose than the ono for which It was dedicated ? "As a conclusion from the authorities cited upon the hearing It appears to bo the law be yond question that where lands nre dedicated , ns was In this case , and accepted by the city for the express purpose of a public square nnd park , to bo enjoyed ns such forever , nnd rights are acquired by Individuals In reference to such dedications , the law steps In and consld6rs It In the nature of nn estoppel In pals , which pre cludes the original owner from revoking It. or the city ns In this case from diverting Its uses to any other purposes. It would be bad faith to the public nnd bad faith to In dividual purchasers , not only adjoining the square but throughout the city. In reference to the same , to permit the city to divert this square to any other purpose than that for which It was originally dedicated. The city Is estopped from doing this , and any citizen and taxpayer , as one of the public who are the beneficiaries of the dedication , Is entitled to relief , oven If he will not sus tain special damages by reason of the di version If It should have been permitted. It Is not necessary to dwell upon the second point In the case , as our holding In regard to * ' the propos6d use of Jefferson square Is sufficient to deter mine this controversy so far as the power of this court goes. I may , however , say that the bond proposition was submitted to tiio people for a site and market house. The $200,000 was not voted for a market house alone , nor for a site by Itself. In voting this amount the Inhabitants Intended It fern n site and market house. It Is Incon ceivable that the people of Omaha upon 'a proposition to erect a mnrket house would have voted so largo a bonded Indebtedness. It Is moro reasonable to suppose that had the proposition been simply for n market house , with a site donated , they would have refused to Incur so large an Indebtedness. Wo nro of the opinion that the entire sum can not bo appropriated to the building of a market house alone , but the "spirit of the proposition upon which the people voted to tax themselves must bo carried out. . "In consideration of all the facts admitted by the demurrer , nnd the law applying there to , It Is ordered that the demurred to the petition bo overruled and Judgment accord ingly. " THU TAII.OIIS UNION. ' Judge Ferguson Follows the 1'rccodciit Es- lulillKlicil hy iIuilRo CnUhvell. In the case of Frank Ramge against Hans P. Peterson , Charles F. Bergren , Y. Young- quest and the Journeyman Tailor's union praying for an Injunction to restrain the defendants from Interfering with the busi ness of the plaintiff , Judge Ferguson yes terday dissolved the temporary Injunction and refused to grant a permanent Injunc tion. The judge , In his decision , holds sub stantially as did Judge Caldwell In the re cent cat.0 of the Union Pacific employes on the question of striking. The cause which led up to the differences between Mr. Ramge nnd the members of the tailors union were recited. The men In their answer denied that they had used nny violence or threat ened the now employes , while the plaintiff contended that the members of the union had by threats and force sought to compel the new men to quit his employ. In his opinion the Judge stated that It the facts were ns stated In the petition tlio plain tiff would bo clearly entitled to the relief prayed for and cited numerous authorities to sustain the position that men had no legal right to Interfere with the management of the business of a present or past employer and that It was clearly the right of the em ployer to s > ay whom ho should employ and on what conditions men should bo employed. The use of any moral force on the part of laborers to secure better pay , bettor condi tions of employment , or any advantage for themselves growing out of such employment was , however , clearly legal. The court held that the employes had u perfect rig lit. to either Individually or collectively quit the employment In which they were engaged. The statutes recognized the right of labor to organize In this state for any lawful moans , and the Improvement of their soclai or financial condition by lawful methods was clearly legal. Moral force and personal suasion was such lawful means. In reviewing the evidence In the case the judge stated that there was no doubt but that some unlawful acts had been committed In the case , but the evidence did not connect any of the defendants named In the petition with such unlawful nets , and the assumption that those who committed them were mem bers of the tailors union was also unwar ranted by the testimony , The members of the union had an undoubted right to quit the employ of the plaintiff and by moral suasion to Induce others to cither quit or re fuse to enter such employment , but they had not the right to use force to that end , and If it had been shown that such had been used an Injunction would bo granted. For the rea son that the latter had not been proven the temporary Injunction was dissolved and a permanent one was refused. ( Inrlmco Contract Up Again. The garbage contract came up for an air ing In a small way In Judge Ferguson's court yesterday. The defense filed a mo tion to have all the affidavits In the case struck from the files and also ono tp have ono of the affidavits of Frank Dungan. which refers to Councllmen Dack and Jncobson , stricken from the tiles.

Cimrlcft Uullt'8 Uurai > UiiUon CIIUHCS home I'uriu'st DlM'tmlon. The county commissioners hold the regu lar weekly session yesterday afternoon , and before they adjourned they laid the olllclal head of Charles Uiiitt. the personal tax col lector , away In the' ' basket. It came about In this way : The" committee on finance , through Its chalfln m , Mr. Jenkins , re ported that It had liteu.Informed by County Treasurer Irey that "Unltt had been dis charged from the eihjjldy of the county. The report was ndopte ffcr which Mr. Pad dock shied a resoliitlmti Into the ring cullIng - Ing upon the treasurer * to glvo his reasons for turning the personal tax man out Jnto the cold. ' i i > Some pointed dlHcusHlcn followed , Mr. Pad dock maintaining tnaf'ho knew and cared nothing about the ffldYJ-jclual , but ho thought that It was within | | oijrovlnco , of the board to ascertain why tlio" olllco had been abolished ished by the county Vrfasuror without first securing the sanctloji'dt ' the commissioners , the men who had 'firVatt'd the ofllcc. Mr. Jenkins took the position that with the present forcp In thu olllco of tlio county j treasurer soma of the clerks could send out the notices which "Unltt had been send ing , and thereby the county would bo saving $125 per month. So far as the discharge of Unltt was concerned , ho waft one of the em ployes of the oltlce , of the treasurer ami could bo discharged by his chief. Charles Stenborg held that the board had no right to demand the reason why an em ploye was dismissed , as all clerks and urn- ployes were responslblo to tlio heads of tha departments In which they were employed and not subject to the control of the board. Tlio , reason why Unlit was discharged was a matter that did not concern the board.

AN ALBANY JOURNAL OF THE YEAR 1801 Act-omit of u riro nt Which I'rcHlih'iit John Adaiiia To k > n Hand Convoying AVutor Ilittery , Itcul llstuto unil Put- < -nt MiMllcInu AihcrtlKcinimtg. However dull and apathetic our Dutch ancestors may have been they were not with out thut common ambition to got rich at ono leap. When It came to patronizing thu lot tery there were evidently " 110 Hies on them. " In a copy of The Albany CCntlnel ( spelled with a C ) , n Boml-uoekly bearing data of February 3 , 1S01 , wo find n liberal supply of lottery advertisements , ono of which In particular Is a high testimonial to ! the enterprise of the Albany of that day. j j This particular udvurtlsement called for the i sale of 25,000 tickets at u cost of $ ! i ench j j and promised In return to cll.sbur.su $ lLTiOUO , I charging the modest commission nf 15 per cent on dlbburJoments as the u.\penso of con ducting tlio lottery. For such a small pluco i as the Albany of that day the magnitude of this bchoma puts our modern affairs to I shame nnd Its modest profits brand the lot- I tcrlcs of our day as downright frauds. In tlio same copy appears somii Inlcrostlng correspondence from Georgetown , Md. , now a suburb of Washington , I ) . C. , In which occurs the following account of u fire. I "Early last evening a fire was discovered In the southeast part of the treasury oltlcc , City of Washington. A considerable num ber of persons collected In a short time from the city and ( Jeorge-Town. Notwithstand ing their exertions , liouuvcr , and the active use of the engine belonging to the olllco , within the house , the fire was not extin guished for several hours. It extended Itself from the apartment where It com menced to ono or tuo others and penetrated Into tlie second story ; but fortunately did not reach the roof. Had this building been consumed , besides the public loss , a num ber of private buildings v.ould have buun i 1 greatly" endangered , particularly as the wind j was high and blustering. ' | "Somo persons continued Idle , unconcerned spectators of a scene which threatened o much calamity. They ua\ < > proved tn m- selves destitute of the feelings of humanity , dovuld of a senna of propriety and a ills- grace to human nature. Who can regard them without mingled Indignation and con tempt ? "Tho president of the United States was observed In the ranks for conveying water. " Such a remark about the present In cumbent of the whlto house would look rather queer In print , but fires In those days were serious affairs. Among other notable features In this relic are the announcements of the real estate agent and the nostrum vender , who had their eyes open to catch the sunshine of the almighty dollar. They wcro wlde-nwako old chaps , they were , particularly ono S. Solomon , M. D. II. U. K. S. of the University and College of Physicians , who offered the world "Tho Cordial Halm of Qllead an Im mediate restorative and corroborant , etc , " a cure for more allmonU than any mvdival lexicon over recorded and all for only $3 pur bottle. This Solomon was evidently u wiser man than IIH ! great predecessor. A news Item announces that "Tho senate lnivo rejected the bill to erect a mausoleum to Oeorgo Washington. " Another tells us "A bill has passed the house of representa tives of Kentucky allowing aliens In that state to hold lands In fee simple. A firo- proof Htoro Is advertised for storage of wheat and ashes , claiming to bo "completely fireproof. " An account Is also given of the nomination of Stephen Van Henssclaer governor of the htato ; Leonard Gansovoort occupied the chair at the meeting. A Hfct of appointments to city olllces Is published as coming "by the Hon. the council of an- polntmcnt , Albany. " Considerable merchan dise Is advertised for Bale nnd the word "Imported" appears < | iilto often , ono dealer announcing In largo typo "Kngllnh hats , just Imported and for sale. " High heels were evidently fashionable , ono advertise ment reading , "Wanted , two or three men who make tallies' hlgh-heol'd slippers- New York wages will bo given. " A communication In the Interest of pub- llshlng n German ( newspaper says "Tho happy period has not yet commenced when the terms democrat , republican , Jacobin are used with greater judgment and when a democrat , or which Is the pamu , a true re publican. Is no more branded with the nickname of n Jacobin , but is honorably ills- tlngulshed , dues not exclude a sanguine hope that this 'logomacby' will shortly end. If the publishers Intended to crave subscrlp- tlonu with the promise Unit thin newspaper Hhouhl be altogether Impartial , they would justly deserve censure. For It Is almost Impossible to unite Interest with Impar tiality. In political reports at l ant. Hut we can promise that It shall contain nothlug contrary to genuine principles of liberty la the country. " Editorial opinion seems to bo totally absent In this sheet. The rates of subscription given are $3 per annum. A LAST CENTURY RELIC. A very old rollo and perhaps the oldest original letter In the United States is now owned by Edward Yarton. residing at 1443 South Sixteenth street. This letter , written in the year 1770 , was formerly In the posses sion of William Trowhrldgo of Ilochcster , N. Y. , then nothing but a village. Ho came from England In 1S24 arid after u few yeara located himself In Rochester. After Ills death he left the letter to his son , who In isr > 8 sold It to Edward Yarton , together with n number of other rollcs and rare specimens. The letter Is well preserved , but the Ink la j faded to yellow and can bo read only with the assistance of a magnifying glass. THU itiu/rv : MAKKKT.
