The misunderstanding between the Omaha Hrldgo and Terminal Hallway company and the Omnha , CounrI ! Uluffs and Suburban Hallway company , which had been existing for several days , was settled amicably and to the satisfaction of both companies yes terday , The difference between the two companies atnso over whnt at first was considered only a trivial matter , but It seemed that a set tlement could not be reached , nnd for a time It looked IIH If the friendly relations between the two corporation * would bo per manently fractured. The new motor company , as the Omaha , Council Bluffs and Suburban Hallway com pany has become to be commonly called , desired to build two tracks to the approaches nt the east end of the Terminal company's bridge , across the Missouri. This had not been expected , neither was It desired by the Terminal company and it so notified Mana ger Heed of the new inotof line. Manager Heed was Intent on building these two tracks , as his arrangements for the running schedule of his trains contemplated a switch at this point and he Insisted that lu order to carry out an effective train service be tween this city and Omaha , It wns neccscary that his line have two tracks to the approaches preaches of the bridge. An attempt at a compromise failed and It Is said that the cordial relations that had hitherto existed between the two companies were on the verge of receiving a knock-out blow. Manager Hoed declined to recede from his position and the Terminal com pany likewise stood to Its guns , and warfare seemed imminent. The Terminal company decided to take the initiative In the matter and force the new motor company to come to terms. In order to do tills. It placed an empty freight car on the tracks on the east end of tlio bridge and firmly but politely re fused to move It one way or the other. This was an expedient that the motor company had not looked for , the more/ especially as it prevented It from obtaining any of Its ma terial from Knst Omnha and consequently when the supply on this side of the river was exhausted , work had to be suspended. Manager Heed and the ofllcials of the Ter minal then got their heads together and a compromise was effected. Yesterday morn ing the freight car was hauled back across the bridge to the other side of the Big Muddy and the track left clear for the use of the new motor company. What the na ture of the settlement arrived at cannot bo learned , as the olllclals of the new motor company on this side of the- river decline to discuss the matter beyond admitting that a dffferenco had arisen over the crossing agreements , but that everything wns now as peaceful as possible , and the harmonious relations existing between the two compan ies not in the least deturbed. The new motor company during the last veek has been pushing things along rapidly at a lively rate , and the track and overhead wires are now all laid to avenue C. Man ager Reed expects , If the weather only keeps favorable , to have the line completed In a very short tlmo to the Illinois Central's depot at Thirteenth Ktrect and liroadway , when a train service between this city and Omaha will be at once Inaugurated.

Hanson , who broke into and robbed the residence of Albla Huster , the musical director , nt 741 Mill street Satur day night and who was arrested In Omaha a few hours lifter the robbery , was brought back to this city yesterday morning. At first Hanson claimed to have purchased the stolen goods that were found on him from a stranger at the Northwestern depot for $ ti. Last evening , however , he weakened , and after admitting that he committed the burglary , told the officers where most of thn stolen property could be , recovered. Two overcoats were found hidden back of a cigar store on Droadway , while a bicycle was re- covcrr.l from a second hand denier where ho had hold It. From a pawnbroker the police recovered a banjo and a mandolin nnd Hcverul articles of jewelry. Hanson carried off enough plunder to nearly 1111 a wagon and the police were un der the Impression that ho must have had an accomplice , but this ho denies. He says he imido two trips to the house nnd hid part of the booty In the back yard while he dis posed of some of It. He effected an entrance Into the JIOUKO by a skeleton key. Dcfore breaking Into the house he in- ijulrod from a neighbor where the Hiwters lived , and wns Informed that they were nwny from homo nnd probably would not be home- until late. He ransacked the house from top to bottom and carried away n large quantity of Jewelry , silverware , a bicycle , gun , two overcoats , hunting suit , mandolin and banjo , pair of opera glasses and several nrllclea of IcsKur value. How he managed to get nwny with the plunder without the assistance of an accomplice is puzzling the pollco. Hanson Is a clgarmaker by profession , and at times played in the orchestra under Huster. Ho lives at S29 Klghth avenue. Funeral of l.yimni 1. . Siioonor. The funeral of the late Lynian L.

DKS MOINKS , Dec. 24. ( Spcclnl. ) Tli.it one of the RreatCBt political battles over waged In the stntc Is now In progress can bo judged from the fact the lobbies hnvo been packed With politicians from every section of the stnte during the pnst week. The strife Is over the election of a suceei-por to L'nltttl States Setmtor John H. ( Soar. Mr. Clear Is a candidate for re-election nnd Is opposed by A. B. Cummins of this city. The pnst week has > fully developed the fact tlmt the battle raging Is simply a con test of the "outs" against the "Ins. " While the paramount Issue la over the election of a United Slates senator , yet behind it nit one can see the hnnil of the younger ele ment of the party reaching out for the con trol of the republican machine. The fight nt the present time is over the control of the organization of the house. W. L. Katon , the candidate of the Cummins faction , has beeii In the field for sometime and ha conducted an nctlvo canvass. Dr. Bow en , who represents the Oear people , lias been canvassing In his Interest but a shorl time. The Cummins people forced the speakershlp contest Into the fight and have taken up the cry "tlmt a vote for ICaton Is a vote for Cummins. " That Kntrn had a decided advantage over the candidacy of Dr. Bowen a week ago cannot be quoMioii"d , and as a matter of fact at the present writ ing , hu appears to bo slightly In the lea-1. but at tbe same time the gains made by Bowcn during the past three or four days have bee-n of such n character as to greatly encourage the Clear forcew. The latter hnve announced that Mr. Bowen at the present has forty-one pledges anil that his election Is assured. Both sides figure victory and furnish figures to substantial ! } their state- clients. Conservative politicians ngroe that Eatcu , at the present time , lends in the race for the speakerblilp. H Is generally agreed about the lobbies that In the event of Katon being 'lefea'cd ' for the speakcrship , Cummins' iiamo will not go before the republican senatorial caucus. On the other hnml , If Bowen is defeated , Oears' name will be presented , dear Is far stronger than Bow i. 12lkrr Out for Cum nil UN , One of the stirring events of the last week wns the announcement of Dr. Klker of Decatur county thnt ho would support both Eaton and Cummins. Dr. Eiker lias been in the doubtful column for n long while , although the Cummins people huve claimed him. On Thursday ho announced 10 a number of friends in the lobby of the Savery hotel his determination to support Cummins. He claims the people of the Eighth conaresslonal district favor the elec tion of Cammlns to the senate. The forces of the DCS Mollies man have made much capital of the announcement of Klker nnd as a matter of fact It ha proved of some value to their campaign : The Oear men declare Elkcr Tins 'always been In their doubtful list and t'h'qt for the last two weeks they were confident he would join the CummliiM camp , J. W. nlythe of Bur lington , son-in-law of Senntor Oear , who has been In the city for the last few days conducting the contest In behalf of the sen ator , stated last evening that the Irss of Kiker was expected ; that Senator Gear had twelve solid vote-s In the Eighth district and felt comfortable so far as thnt section of the state was concerned. Although it has not been brought Into any prominence , yet the matter of the ap pointment of a successor to the late Judge \Voolson of the federal bench Is an im portant factor In the contest now being waged. The prominent candidates are Judge Towner of Corning and Judge Walter I. Smith of Council Bluffs. The Cummins people , to a man , claim Smith will be ap pointed. Towner is n strong man and has tbe backing of the ' Eighth congressional j district. Members of the lower house from 'that ' district have been' In tie ) city during | the last week and have called upon the 1 ficar people In regard to his candidacy. It Is believed hero that the district , to a vote , will demand tjie appointment of Towner. Gear oenttment is divided between the two candidates. Senntor Rear will arrive here from Wash ington January 2 nnd take personal charge of his campaign. DEATH RECORD. I'diinil Dead In ileil , I'-MBMONT , Xcb. . Pec. 21.
