From the Chicago Tribune.

The Michigan Central officials in this
city received dispatch yesterday from
Mackinaw City announcing that the
steamer Algomah, which does the trans
ferring across the strait between Mackl-
nav CITY and Point ST. Ignace, and which
has for some weeks past been trying to
cut a way through the strait, has at
last succeeded in getting through, and
expects to be able hereafter to keep the
channel open and make regular trips
between the two points. At some
places the ice was found to be twenty
feet thick, and has to be blasted out
with dynamite. The smooth ice was
not however, over one foot IN thick

minute" The fact wal there was no
revolver In the house and Mrs. Max
we'll knew 1t, but resorted to this lit.
tie subterfuge to terribly the thief,
who, just at this juncture, got kaway
from her husband and escaped.
IA SION as the visitor was gone Mr..
Maxwell lighted q lamp and
began investigating his loss.
He found his vest containing
his watch, office keys, etc., missing
and also his wife's portmonnsie, shop
ping bag, etc., the latter containing
perhaps 81 or $5. This morning on
looking down the alley the vest was
found covered with mud and under 1,
the Office keys, but watch, chain and
charm had been carried away.
When Mr.. Maxwell asked his wife
what she meant by telling him she
would bring his revolver, she said
"Oh, l knew you hadn't any but ]
thought l would make him rum"
The whole affair was one Of the
coolest on both sides that has been
heard of, and was In reality quite o

HEADLIGHT CLEANS.
RumOr That The Union Pacific
Will Remove It's Shops,
And Thata Union Depot Will
be Built on Ninth and
Farnam.
News Which, If True. IL Important
For Omaha,

The most important item Of news
during the past week wal that con
corning the proposed purchase OF the
large tract OF land west of the city,
near what Is known 10 "the Sum
mit," on the U. p. track.
1t Is generally believed that the OBJ.
ject of this purchase Is TO build exten.
sive stock yards, which seems the
more plausible, as the track lies be.
tween the q. p. and b 81 M, where
both come close together by their
curves, and form convenient shipping
and receiving location for stock goods
and packing houses.
One of the most prominent and well
informed gentlemen In the city, how.
ever, thinks the land Is to be used for
an entirely different purpose. He
says the Union Pacific folks have long
been anxious to remove their shops
from the river bottom, q treacherous
location and subject to floods or the
encroachmsnt of the river. He be-
lleves that the land In question has
been chosen ss the new site for the
shops, and tina. the Union
Pacific company will build
up town of their own, such
as the city of Pullman, near Chicago,
where the Pullman car shops are In
operation. Pullman IL one of the
most beautiful places In the country,
the shops, Offices, dwellings,, etc., be-
Ing Of uniform style Of architecture,
and the grounds laid out In
and walks, with miniature lakes,
fountains, bright lawns and beautiful
flower beds. II is an incorporated
city and rules Itself. Such a place
is what our informant thinks Is
to be built near Summit
and 1t would lead to the extension of
the city limits aud the building up Of
additions out to that spot He also
says that he can imagine no reason
why 30 large q tract should be wanted
FIR stock yards or 90 large q price
paid for q location for that purpose.
In case the scheme he speaks of
were carried out the river front would
be utilized by tho several railroad
companies for yards, freight houses,
etc, and would be graded and filled
up like the B. & M. dump"
1t Is also rumored that negotiations
arc In progress and plans very nearly
agreed upon for the erection of q fine
union depot by all the roads, which
Is to DO located on the present site
of the Garfield House, on Ninth and
Fornsm. This would be the most
convenient and available place In the
city for such a depot, and with the
yards on the river front. would make
one of the greatoAt improvements
Omaha could have.
OF course the truth of these con-
lectures 10 known only to the digni-
tarIes of the various roads, who take
their own time In perfecting their
plans and making them public, but II
very pleasant to even think of the
possibility of such q Btride TOWARD
metropolitan Importance.

4 Thrilling Battle Between a

A Lady Who Had Presence OF
Mind In an Emergency.

One Of the most interesting Of the
many burglaries committed In THU
city of late was that of which Mr.. G.
b. Maxwell, ticket agent Of the O.,
NJ. & St. P. road, was the victim FRI
day night.
Mr.. Maxwell resides on South
Eighteenth street, and about 3 O'Clock
yesterday was suddenly reused
from his slumbers to see q man staud.
ing over him, whom he knew at once
to be u burglar.
SECT out of this, you son Of a gun!'
said he, but instead of giving the mar
a chance to get out he grabbed him
and was jerked out of bed in ar
instant by the fellow, who
struggled to get away. The light
we're all out and the contest was Jar
ried on In the darkness, only tn,
forms of the two men being visible t.
each other. They got out Of the bed
room into the dinipg.room, wher,
something suddenly broke and the In
truder got away, falling over chair
and tables In the psrlor, running on
the front door and around the bsel
of the house into the alley. Mr.. Mex
we'll was somewhat surprised to flint
that he had left In his grasp
pair Of pants, when he sup
posed he had hold Of the burglar
but on investigation found that the.
they we're his own, which the man ha'
picked up to carry awsy. He had hol

grip until they finally broke and h
was obliged to run.
While they were tussling In the din

Tried Her own Remedy.

A lady overheard her nurse girl talk
ing to the little child she was putting
to sleep, and among other legends OF
the nursery in which she INDUCED,
was this: ''If you don't 90 right to
sleep this very minute, great big,
awful black bear, with eyes like Goals
of fire, and sharp, white, cruel teeth,
will come ont from under the bed and
e-a-t-y you a-l-l-u-p The poor little
thing nestled down under the clothes
to dream of horrid bears eating her up.
That night when the stOlid nurse had
composed herself in her own comfort
able bed and had put the lamp out,
there came a sudden rap at the door
and the voice of the mistress called
loudly through the panels: "Maggie
Maggie get up as quick as you can
There's burglar under your bed"
At the word burglar the girl sprang
screaming from the bed, tore open the
door and fell in Mysteries into the hall.
The lesson was more instructive than
the mistress designed, but when the
girls fears had calmed she said to her:
'EOu did not hesitate to tell my little
delicate child, who could not possibly
know that it was lie, Il cruel story of a
bear under her bed now, when | treat
ed You to the same kind of il story, you
are nearly frightened to death. To-
morrow you can go into the kitchen
and work there; you are not fit to

is now visiting in Louisville, Ky. Dur
ing a tiercely contested battle in the
late war this interesting individual was
struck i'll the head with piece of shell,
which tore away the entire top of his
skull, leaving the brain most horribly
exposed. Strange to say, he survived
the terrible, wound, and "A noted sur
geon, who was one of the physicians in
attendance upon the late lamented
Garfield, succeeded in fitting silver
plate over the opening, which shielded
the brain equally as we'll as the skull.
This plate is about the size of "A mans
hand, and works on hinges. and NAV
he worked up and down at will. The
reskulled man does not experience the
least pain, and as he wears a wig, all
evidence of shattered skull is con
cealed.

in the police court that hereafter he
will not appear as counsel in the

men whose efforts must and will be
productive of great good. Indeed,

Susie had been out riding. The

How New Jersey Serves
Tr;lImpS.

The Mercer county authorities have
begun active operations against tramps.
Six tramps who had been captured
were disabled by having au eighteen
pound iron ball attached to their ankles
by Il chain yard long. They were
then taken out to Il vacant lot and set
to digging post holes. After the holes
are dug and Il fence is built around the
lot, these tramps and as many more as
the police can get their hands on will
he chained together, locked up in the
inclosed lot and made to break stones
all day. Any who refuse to work will
be put into close confinement on bread
and water diet. For two or three
years the tramps have been an intoler-
able nuisance in Trenton and vicinity.
