John J. Farmar, warrant for whose ar
rest was issued at the same time as that on
which John F. Gallagher was arrested for
keeping keno den at No. 5l3 Shipley
street, surrendered himself to Off1cer
Dennis s. Shields Friday. Farmar was
charged with being a copartner in the pro-
prietorship of the game with Gallagher and
Lewis A. Bickta. He has been away from
the city since the issuing Of the warrants,
but came back and voluntarily delivered
himself to the police. He was taken before
Esquire 0'Neill, where he waived hearing
and was held In $500 bail to answer at the
May term of the court of general sessions.
Edward Farmar of 604 West Sixth street,

Farmar's case was disposed of Bickta also
surrendered himself and was placed ucder
bail to similar amount. The three are
now all In the same boat, and 1t looks us If

THE RAILROAD FIGHT.
A Likelihood That it viii Seriously
DansaRa aHrHpk.cOuat tai Traffic

OMAHA, NEB., Feb. 25.--General Manager
Galloway of the Union Pacific, says in re-
gard to the transeontinental fight that his
company is in favor of peace and consery-
atiye course and that he has never known a
fight of this kind to produce beneficial re-
suits to any Of the participants. 1t Is the
opinion Of Mr.. Callaway that when the
Pacific Mail people are released from their
contract they will undoubtedly make the
business Improbable for all others inter
ested. Rail lines cannot live against
water routes. The Central Pacific
interest will probably mako such
rates from the Pacific slope in CON
nection with the water routes that traffic
of the more westerly states and territories
will be distributed from the Pacific ocean
and other eastern railroads, and jobbers
will lose more or less OF this trade. 'The
result of the existing trouble" says MIR.
Galloway, "eaused by the action OF the
Santa Fe will be that Pacific coast business
as far west as Chicago will be drawn to the
Atlantic tidewater and around the Pacific
Mail. The outlook is anything but en-
eouraging for transcontinental roads but
II the Santa Fe can stand it we ean."

In consequence of the prevalent anxiety
regarding the peach crop and the many
conflicting reports in circulation, the ed
itors of the Record last week addressed
inquiries upon the subject to number of
leading growers in different parts of the
county. The answers received indicate
that much apprehension is felt regarding
the effect of the recent cold wave upon
the buds. On Kent Island and along the
water-courses the damage is not so great
as in the interior, but the general opinion
seems to be that the crop will be cut very
short.

talk this week with some of the

representing every section of the county,
leads to the conclusion that there will be
plenty of peaches in Kent. unless trouble
comes later. We have not talke with a
single grower who thinks that his peaches
are entirely killed. Some think their or
chards are considerably injured, espe-
cially in the low lands. The buds in or
chards along the rivers and on the bay
shore are in especially healthy condition.
1t must be remembered of course, that
peaches are as often killed after the lst of
March as before.

READING HISTORY.
How "A Writer of the Same Advises
That IL BE Done.

kNON n W.T. OL ln6 Shutt AuVlAGH
That ID BE Done.
Thomas Wentworth Higginson lectured
before the Unity Club last evening. His
subject was, "How to Read History" !"
Mr.. Higginson resides at Cambridge,
Mass, and has written history for chill
dren that exemplifies the rules which he
laid down in last evenings lecture. He
is pleasing speaker, and his appearance
suggests marked intelligence and force of
character. He plead last evening for
simplicity and warmth in the narration of
historical facts, or in the system of pre-
senting these facts to children. Parents
are often to blame for the antipathy
which their children form TO the reading
of cold history, presented without any
aids to memory. They start them Mt the
top. and confront them with an array of
volumes that take the spirit from the
child at the very outset, setting him
against the thing they wish him to affect.
There is no subject naturally so in.
teresting to child as history, because il
is an account OF human beings, the most
interesting subject to young and old.
The natural interest must be kept up by
natural introduction and advancement
in the reading. Straining is not natural.
There should be limit set to the number
of facts sought, as astounding memories
are few, and to attempt to stretch
the average memory beyond its
limit will result disastrously. The
young, or old, student wants more
than the mere facts He wants a
picture of the period, such as is pre-
sented by historical novel or play, to
act as landmark by which he can locate
the events of the time and impress them
in order upon his mind. It is important
that proper start is made when the
student is young, and that he be not con-
fined to a channel too narrow in his read
ing. These contemporary works and
plays make easy to commit what is other
wise in ordinary cases almost impossible
to impress.

FOR BREACH OF PROM1sE.

Edward Tamkin's Woes-He Sues a
 Married Lady Formerly of TrumbuIl
 Street for Alleged Breach of Promise
 Lays His Damages at Six Thousand
 Dollars.
 The papers of very interesting and rather uncommon breach of promise suit were filed in the clerks office of the Superior court yesterday afternoon. The plaintiff is gun maker about forty years of age. He brings the suit against Mrs. Charlotte Deibert, wife of John F. Deibert. She was formerly Miss Charlotte Sanford, and resided at No. 50 Trumbull street with her mother. MT. Tam kin claims $6,000 damages because of his injured affections and breach of promise. An attachment was laid on the defendants property last night by Deputy Sheriff Spiegel. MT. Tampkin said he would not compromise the suit for anything. He for merly boarded with Mrs. Sanford, the de- fendants mother, and fell desperately in love with the defendant. She spurned his love and he was obliged to leave her mothers house. He paid several visits to the house, however, and pestered her, she claimed in the courts, with his attentions, and caused her considerable trouble At one time while walking with her on Whitney avenue he was boisterous. The police register bears the following: January 29, Edwin Tompkins, drunk, discharged by the chief: February r, breach of the peace, judgment suspended; May 20, drunk, discharged; May 21, breach of the peace. arrested by Captain Hyde, 30 days in jail, appealed; July 9, drunk, judg- ment suspended.
 His police record for 1886 was all owing, he claimed. to his visits to Miss Sanfora's house and her disregard of his love. Tam kin says that he has letters in his posses sion which will show that Miss Sanford promised to marry him and that he will pro- duce them in court. MT. John F. Deibert, the husband of the defendant, is well known and respected citizen, bookkeeper for Ed. F. Merwin, the merchant tailor. The case is returnable to the February term of the Supe- rior court.
