Richard RIcketts manager of a street

there has been some delicacy In accepting
Richard's invitation. Aa Richard has the
reputation of being one of the finest cooks
In the city the reluctance to accept the In

dent occurred In connection with the arrival
of the slag. It Is dark In appearance and
with some Imagination can pass for bard
coal. Not a few of the people In the west
ern part of the city made this mistake and
began to stock up for the winter. They
swooped down unmolested for a tlmo and
they belluved for a time that the county had
run the cars on the First avenue sidetrack
for their special benefit. This report waa
quickly circulated among them and bat for
the arrival of one of Contractor Wlckham's
men they would have emptied a car or two.
They were greatly dlsgutted when they
learned that they had carted away nothing
but the inert Incombustible material to be

The home of Albert Otto. 2200 Second
avenue , has beet , thrown Into shadow-
by the sudden disappearance of the young
wife and mother.
Four years ago Mlas Duck , daughter of Mr
and Mra. D. E. Buck , was married clandes
tinely to Albert Otto , son ot the bridge
foreman of the Northwestern Railway com
pany. The joung couple separated and the
marriage was Kept secret until It was
revealed In a letter written by the young
wife to her husband The letter was found
In the pocket ot the joung man's coat and
when his mother demanded an explanation
the tor > of the secret marriage was told ,
llolh were little more than children , but
their parents took the matter philosophically
The marriage was publicly acknowledged and
the yo'in ; people were taken Into Mr liuck'j
family , where they have lived all of the time
since .Married life anil tta responsibilities
were not Just what the young people be
lieved It to bo when they ran away and
were married The wife pined for her old-
time associates and girlish freedom. The
father of the young man took him on the
road and gave him employment as a bridge
carpenter He was studious and temperate ,
but his work kept him away from home
during the greater part of the time The
wife saw less of him than during the ro
mantic days before the marriage The
roirance wore away and she sought the com
pany ot former school friends Toung Otto
grew Jealous and sought to restrain the
freedom of his wife , but she resented the
Interference and the flrat quarrels arose
Despite the deep and friendly Interest of
both families the gap between the young
people widenPd The birth of a little daugh
ter reunited them for a time. Later they
both stood at the bedside of lovely twin
babes and saw them die of diphtheria. After
this bereavement the > oung mother's dis
like for her husband grew In Intensity Onlv
the constant urging of her parents Induced
her to consent to live with him On Saturday
Mrs Otto gathered up a few of her be
longings and left her father's house. H
was not known really until yceterday that
she had left her home and her husband for
ever A letter was found which she had
left In which she declared that ehe would
never again live with him. She begged
her parents to take care of her child and
raise it as their own.
Mrs Otto Is scarcely SO jears old. The
tone of the letter creates the apprehension
In the minds of her friends that she has
commute 1 suicide All efforts to locate her
or discover the direction Uken have proven
fruitless.

Bluffs Field club , giving the defendants a
decree. Ccr.celly bought some lumber from
the plaintiffs for the purpose of erecting
a fraino building near the Union Pacific
transfer This structure waa purchased by
the Field club last } ear and moved to Its
grounds at the corner of Seventh avenue
and Twenty-first street. The lumber com
pany claimed a mechanic's lien on the build

originally sold for the purpose of erecting
a saloon building. Thla , under the pro
hibition law , makes the sale illegal. Ono
of the officers of the company testified that
he was aware of the fact the sale was made
for this purpose and the decision was

Hour of the Mornhm.
- An Incendiary fire at 4 o'clock yesterday
morning destroyed a one-story residence on
Avenue A between Fourteenth and Fif
teenth streets. The building was one of the
odd freaks of architecture constructed on
the Chautauqua grounds , and was moved
to Its present location by John Wlllonienn
The- building was occupied by a family
named Standley. with whom Wlllomena
live ? The Inmates of the houie were asltep
and narrowly escaped suffocation from the
flames an t smoke The fire had been
started In the cellar A basement window-
had been broken open and a lot of Inflam
mable stuff thr-wn In. When the members
of the family were awakened the hou e was
ablaze from cellar to garret. There was no
chance of saving anything , and the people
escaped In their night clothes The fire
department reached the place a few mo
menta after the family got out , but the
building was so far gone that nothing but
the skeleton remained after the fire was ex
tinguished After the firemen arrived Wll-
lomens recalled the fact that he had left
a sum of money In bis bed rocm and in his
efforts to recover It narrowly escaped losing
hU life. When ho entered the building the
floor gave way and he only escaped de
scending Into the basement by falling across
a Joht. One of the firemen pulled him out
before he was severely burned The lessen
on the building and content * will amount
to about $600. with no Insurance. The house
U located next door to the place occupied
by Lizzie Hurlburt. who was arrested a few
dajs ago by Mrs Martha A Standley upon
the charge of malicious mischief The
Hurlburt woman has made many threats
against the people In the burned dwelling ,
and It was freely charged by them yesterday
that she was responsible for the fire , but
Chief Templetcn declares that he saw the
woman when she was awakened by the fire ,
and that she was apparently terror-stricken
and greatly surprised

The mayor a.i I other city officials appear

Comml * oner Hector tald yesterday after
noon that every deserving person who hid
applied to him for aid was now on the llet
and was receiving provisions and coal. Ho
[ thought t.iat the county was doing Its tharo

I At present the names of over twenty fatn-

After figuring and fussing and passing
ordinances for exactly three months It Is
now thought that the new refunding bond
ordinance which was passed by the council
Monday night will stick In each of the
ordinances previously passed the purchasers
of the bends have found some flaw which
had to be corrected The ordinance which
was repealed Monday night was refused on
account of a defective description ot thn
property When the attorney for the bond
company came to go over the records In
lo'klng up the property he found that taxes
on the grading and paving districts under
consideration , to the amount of $7 000 , had
been paid in while the council had been
fussing about the loan Deducting the
amount paid In from the original amount In
the former ordinances leaves the total of
the new bonds $33,180 By this discovery
the city will save a large am.unt In Inter
est. The new Issue of bonds Is to be as
follows Sixty-four bonds of J300 each , two
bonds of (450 each , one bond of { 100 and
one bond of $150 , making In all sixty-eight
bonds. In the eld Issue there were eighty-
three bonds. The city has been to consid
erable expense In this matter by the printIng -
Ing of the ordinances three different times
and the printing of the bonds.
