A Bold Confidence Game Brought
to Light.

Some months ago, our readers will
remember that we mentioned the
fact Of the arrest of Jack Mcdonald,
a notorious three-card monte mar Of
this city, by one Thomas Smith, of
Abilene, Kansas, where Mcdonald
formerly resided, and where, becom.
ing involved in some difficulty, he
was obliged to give $500 bonds for
his appearance at the District Court.
His bondsmen we're Thos. Smith, E.
p. Wilson, then editor of the Abilene
Chronicle, but now editor and pro-
prietor Of the Topeka Times, and an
other man. Mcdonald forfeited his
bonds and came to Omaha. Smith
was sent after him by the other two
bondsmen. After Mcdonald was ar
rested, his Omaha friends raised the
five hundred dollars for him, and one
hundred dollars besides with which
to pay all his expenses, and
thus obtained his release witho ut his
being taken out of the city. This
money was all paid over TO Smith,
who returned to Abilene, and repre-
sented to his associates on tho bond,
that he could not find Mcdonald,
and did not receive a cent at Omaha.
He demanded and obtained from his
associates the sum Of one hundred
dollars, as the expenses of the trip
they also were obliged to pay their
portion Of the bond. They dis.
covered some time afterwards that
Smith had played them a sharp
game and they accordingly deter
mined to bring him to justice.
Mr.. Wilson arrived in town
a day or two since, and procured
a large amount of testimony in the
shape of dispositions from parties who
are thoroughly cOnversant with the
whole affair. This testimony will be
used against Smith next Tuesday in
court Mt Abilene. Mcdonald him
self, ex-City Marshal Kimball, and
other parties, all testify to the fact
that the money was paid to Smith,
who, it is claimed, made nearly seven
hundred dollars by the operation.
Mr.. Wilson, returned TO Kansas to-
day, determined to have justice dealt
out to the man Smith, who has
played a very mean and dishonest
game.

A STRANGE PURCsAsE-Ftnding Snake
Called IN the Heart # q Cdb6age.-The Whining
ton IN. c. Star Of the 9th says: ga lady who
keeps boarding house north of the w. & w.
railroad Saturday evening, in riding past a GER
tain shop on the line of the street railway, re-
quested the proprietor to pick her out a good
cabbage. He did so, took the article into the
car and deposited It by her side, received his
pay and retired. The cabbage, a good, solid
one, to all appearances, was taken home and
placed on table, where it remained until soma
time the next morning, when the lady started
TO prepare II for cooking. 1t was then she made
a startling discovery-Dothing more nor less
than snakes head peering out from behind
one OF the loose leaves. Assistance to solve the
mystery or this strange affair was summoned
and an investigation commenced, when large
snake was found snugly ensconced in the he art
OF the cabbage, which was perfectly hollow. Of
course II is not presumed that the snake ate his
way into the cabbage, the only plausible theory
being that he made his nest in il before il had
matured, and that the leaves gradually grew
and closed over the orIdce, with the exception
OF the slight opening preserved In one side by
the snakes occasional egress and ingress to and
from his singular abiding place. The cabbage
was grown IN one of the gardens near tins city,
and there is 10 telling how many hands it had
passed through before the singular discovery
Was m ade.

ALLEGED INHUMAH TREATMENT OF CHILD.
REN.-Jacob Ziegler, a beer saloon keeper on
SAMSON street, above 10th, together with his
wife, have been held by Alderman Urian, the
answer at court for alleged lnhuman treatment
Of children. The testimony developed at the
hearing was to the effect that Zieglers first
wife died about eighteen months ago, leaving
eight children, five OF whom are still living.
Two OF these remain with the father and the
other three are living with an aunt at Niceto wn
lane and the N0rristOwn railroad. The children
years Of age, and Jacob, an infant. Last win
ter Zieger married again, and it is alleged that
the woman, as soon as she took charge of the
house, began a system of the most cruel and in
human treatment, often whipping Willie until
the blood spurted from his mouth and nose and
he would fall exhausted to the floor. When the
children would cry for food they would be
cellar, overrun with rats and vermin and filed
with foul air, the ventilation being Just suffici-
emit to allow person to live in the poisoned at
mosphere. There the children are said to have
been kept for several hours at a time. One day
last winter, Ii being intensely cold, the woman
was washing Willie under the hydrant in the
yard, and when the poor little fellow began to
coarse cloth she was using into his mouth, and,
after carrying him into the house, whipped him
In an unmerctful manner. The neighb0rs tes-
tilted the children were given scarcely ANYTHING
10 eat, and would devour with ayidity any
crusts or other refuse food which they could
procure by begging or otherwise. On Tuesday
last the residents of the neighbOrhood, having
borne with the case long time, were startled
by unearthly screams from the tortured little
ones, and, unable to stand it longer, had a
warrant issued and the parties arrested. -PhiI-

The PULLMAN CARS ABROAD.-Col. Thomas
w. knox, who has been travelling in Europe for
year past, writes from Berlin, on the 10Th OF
august, as follows For the last three weeks /
have been knocking around with Col. Gourand
IN Pullman car, which you are doubtless
aware was taken to the continent two or three
months ago. The car has been from Liverpool
via London and Ostend to Paris, Mont GEMS
Tunnel, Turin, Florence, Rome, Naples Boz
logna, Venice, SOmmeriDg, Pass, Vienna and
Berlin, and since coming here il has made two
trips 10 Potsdam, and one TO Frankfort on tne-
Main: 1t starts to night for ST. Petersburg, via
browberg, Koenigsberg and Wilma, stopping a
couple OF DAYS AT the frontier to adapt the
trucks to the Russian gauge. When il reaches
St Petersburg il will have travelled 900 kilo-
metres from osteGd. So far there has not been
the slightest accident, not even a hot box. The
car attracted much attention at a men agerie m
a country town. and has been visited by thou
sands OF people, including grand dukes, princes,
railway officials, and all sorts of "swells" gen
