Broke His Arm,

Tuesday afternoon Messrs. Har-
bach, Grebe, Drexel and Stein took
a drive out into the country. When
they we've on their way home,
Stein insisted upon being allowed
to drive, and the ribbons were
finally entrusted to Encouragement.
Stein was now in his glory, and
was greatly enjoying the proud
position he occupied, and considered
himself equal to any fast-diiving
counciln-a an in the city. Suddenly
a big country goose seeing the mer-
chant tailor in his glory few at his
big Newfoundland dog, which was
running along the road, and bit him
ON the cal. Thedog became fright
ened, and running between the
horses, scared them so that they
started up very suddenly, causing
Mr.. Grebe to be tumbled out of the
wagon, striking on one Of his arms
and breaking the small bones of it.
He was assisted into the vehicle,
and upon arriving in the city, d..
Peabody was called upon to attend
him. During the remainder of the
drive homeward, some other gentle
man of the party handled the rib
ions.

Why is a gossiping female like
the comet? Because she's a tale
bearer.
in speaking of the comet it is
incorrect to say, "thereby hangs a
tale for the tail don't hang at all,
but sticks straight up.
The journeymen tailors of the
leading shops of the city, with the
exception of Ranges, are on a
strike, owing to an effort on the
part of the employers to cut down
their wages.
"A little German girl, named
Mary Gloss, supposed to be lost, was
picked up yesterday while wan
dering about the streets, and was
left at Dewey & Stones furniture
store, where she can be found by
her parents.
There always two sides to every
story, and so it is in relation to the
overcharge by 'Big Bill" the hack
man, an account of whose conduct
appeared in yesterdays BEE. AT
three O'Clock Monday afternoon, he
conveyed party of four from the
Grand Central to the corner of Six
teenth and Davenport streets, where
he waited till five o'clock, ard took
them back to the hotel. Mr.. Bal
lantine had previously asked Mr.
Bull, the owner of the hack, what
he would charge to take him, a lady
and child and trunk to the depO:, ant
he was told 81. The drive
Tuesday morning at three o'clocl
called at the hotel to take the party
which hsd been increased to six, t
the depot. The driver and an ON
nibus baggageman got into q wrsn
gle about the trunk, which he want
ed the omnibus line to carry down
and he would pay them. Loud an
7 obscene language followed, notwith
+ standing Mr.. Bull did eyerythin
in his power to suppress it. Afte
the driver had taken the whole part
down to the depot, Mr.. Ballantineo o.
fered him 50, which the drive
thought was by far too little for a
!: the work he had done. Mr.. Ballar
tine informed him that that vas a
the law allowed him, ~whereupon b
snatched from his hand five dollar
I and left. Mr.. Bull soon afterward
learned of it, and reprimanding b
driver for the act, went down to th
depot to have the matter adjuste'
Z but arrived just in time to see I'll
: train crossing the bridge. He the
"laid off" his driver, an
" afterwards gave three dollars to Il
physician of Ballantine's decease
: brother, to send back to Ballantin
Thus it will be seen that Mr.. Blu
was in no way responsible for u
4 conduct of his driver, and who's
course he does not countenance.

An Explanation and Apology.

Inasmuch as the Grain scandal
has created the general topic of con-
versatiOn, and inasmuch as / am
directly connected with the erpose,
I rise to make this explanation and
answer several charges in last Mon
days issue of the BEE. Now that
/ reflect upon what ] have done for
Mr.. s. A. Taylor, and since he has
been mean enough to betray my
confidence, ! cannot blame Mr..
Rosewater, nor any one, for ques-
tiOning my honor and impugning
my veracity. But / am truly sorry
that that gentleman did not ask a
private explanation instead of pub
licly berating me. As regards my
being apoor reporter I care nothing,
and shall say nothing, as I
accepted the position out of ac-
commodation to Mr.. sorenson, and
have no ambition to ever grovel as
an editor.
1 will admit that I have not acted
as wisely as an older reporter would
have done, but 1 wish neither my
youth nor ineXperience to elicit
sympathy. Perhaps 1 have been
duped ; but it was an error of the
head and not of the heart, and if
the language in my article on
Craine was strong, 1t was because l
had never seen the gentleman and
could not temper my remarks to
suit the e~xigencies of the case, and
because I felt exasperated that a
family whom ! knew to be one of
Omaha's elite, should be so grossly
insulted. But there is one thing
outof which not wen my connec-
ton with the BEE has 'inveigled"
me, and that is my adherence to
the truth.
The paper signed by me, in the
possession of Mr.. Taylor, and pur-
porting to be tie exhonerating of
him from all connection in the af-
fair was obtained from me by the
assurance that it was only intended
for his lawyers. The paper states
simply what Mr.. s. A. Tayl or did
not say, but not what he did say.
Of course I did not metapherase
everything he said. For instance
he stated hat Grain lived
''fast." 1 put it "dissolute."
Taylor said that Grain had plenty
of diamonds when he came here,
but that they disappeared, which was
to "pewning," and so
stated. Taylor said Grain had left
town, stating hat he would be back
n September, but that he (Taylor,)
thought he eve would. Idenom-
this dumping the town." for
the word "black-leg," 1 alone
stand personally responsible as hav-
ing no synonym in the conversation
Of the Taylors.
L Distinctly ana repeatedly told
that the paper must never
be published except in connection
the whole statement ; and he
distinctly and repeatedly promised
me it never would. My indignation
may be imagined when the paper
vas circulated from one end of the
own to the other, and shown to
everybody, embellished with such
emarks as the tender conscience O.
NJ. Taylor would permit him using.
Concerning that serenade, /
would state that I happened also
o hear the same party, and I could
lot conscientiously call their soul
discords celestial ca
Iences. I said their music was bet
er than the tom cats. I beg that
pardon. In my hum
le opinion they were worse than
be Phiiharmonics.
Apologies from Mr.. Rosewater
re in order.
