Moulders for the Const.

Twenty-one iron moulders from Phila-
delphia, in charge of Richard G. Duvall,
arrived in the city yesterday afternoon
on their way to San Francisco. where
they will be employed by the Union Iron
company. Some difficulty arose here. as
the boys were without funds, having only
through tickets, upon which they could
not eat and drink during their journey
Mr.. Duvall said he had advanced consid-
erabie money already, and did not pro
pose to run himself short. The men say
their transportation and subsistence were
to be paid by the company. On the other
hand Duvail says only the fare was to be
furnished, the men having to buy their
own grub. A telegram was sent to Phil
adelphla and the manager of the COM
pany sent word to go ahead, take the
men through to the coast and obtain food
'on tick" for them ut the restaurants, for
which tho company would be response
BILE and would pay the bills when pre-
sented. How this will meet the hotel
mems views along the line remains TO be
seen. AT any rate the moulders left on
the $50 train, starye or no starve.

No Game wan the Denvers.

There will be no game between the Den
vers and the Union Pacifics on Sunday.
Certain members of the home team raised
the kick against their manager, George
Kay, and Mr.. Gordon, realizing that they
could not be expected to play any kind
OF game under the circumstances, can

Kay being absent at the time. The indi.
cations now are that the Union Paciiics
will play no more ball this season, al
though they are advertising their games
with the Hastings on September 20 and
30. The present difficulty may be ad-
iusted, however, and the club placed in
fighting trim for the few games that they
will be able to play this fall yet.
The Athletics go TO Council Bluffs to.

ing for Nm Embezzler.
For some weeks past a. +. Levi has
been working Omnha in the interests of
commercial digeetpry published by
Cincinnati firm. Hisreports to his house,
il appears, show that he has been doing
a rushing business, but entirely upon pa
per as far as his hohse was concerned,
as he has failed to make them any re-
mittances. Yesterday Mr.. G.. w. Ben
son, representing the firm by which Levi
was employed, arrived in Omaha for the
purpose of investigating Lewis work.
He found him at the Windsor hotel, and
going to his room, asked for an account
ng OF his business. Levi complied by
turning over a number of contracts he
had made in the city. When asked to
surrender the money he had collected he
refused, without any apparent reason, to
make any statement. Benson thought to
compel him TO make q showing and
arose to close the door of the room, but
was stopped by Levi, who seized him by
the throat and, forcing him back into
his chair, told him to leave the door and
the money business alone. After some
further conversation Benson left the
hotel and went before Justice Anderson,
where he swore out warrant charging
Levi with embezzlement, and placing the
amount at $3.50. The warrant was placed
in an officers hands, but Levi had evi-
IDENTIFY taken warning and left the city,
rs he could n ot be found by the officer
who was sent to arrest him. Levi has
been employed by the firm for some
time, and has heretofore transacted his
business III a prompt and satisfactory
manner.

Fire on Wheels.

A very ludicrous scene attracted the
attention of those who were in the yicini-
ty of Fifteenth and Farnam streets last
evening. The curtain rose with dozen
your buggy's on iirel" "Look out there,
Gully, you'll burn, "see how she blazes, "
etc. This turned the eyes of the curious
to a buggy of the regulation real estate
size, in which were two gentlemen, being
rapidly driven up Farnam street. Under
the seat was fire in full blast, and the
occupants were entirely unaware of their
proximity to broiling state. The calls
of the small boys, however, soon attract
ed attention, and one OF the men, seizing
the flaming lap robe, which was the
cause of the trouble, threw it on the pave.
ment. Evidently a lighted cigar stump,
as the parties had been smoking, had
fallen on the robe, hence the fire.

The First Return.

The first pilgrim from the shrine of
Irish patriotism in Chicago who reached
Omaha is Alderman Michael Lee. He
camel n accompanied by his wife last
evening, and is enthusiastic in his ac-
count of the great gathering. OF course
he, the Nebraska delegates and the whole
state feel proud of Honest John Fiz-
geralds selection as president of the
league, The Chicago visitors were also
highly battered by tie way in which their
fellow citizen Patrick Egan was received.
Mr.. Lee says the 81 900 silver set sent the
late president of the league by his friends
in Ireland is one of the most elegant
ever worked in silver by deft hands to
show the kind feelings existing between
most worthy donee and appropriate
donors. The pieces are encased
in an elaborate box of Irish box
wood, and will very likely be exhibited
in Omaha one of these days il MIR. Egan
can be prevailed upon to exhibit it.

Rare Chance for Pleasure.

Next Sunday will be red letter day
for those who wish to enjoy a real good
time IN the best of company and IN one
of the plcasantest resorts in Nebraska
At $50 the excursion train carrying the
bohemian Gymnastic association and
their friends to North Bend for picnic
purposes will leave the Union Pacific
depot, and no one who can possibly at
tend should fail to do so. The Second in
fantry band has been specially engaged
for the occasion and this is alone suffi
cient to show that the music will be first
class in every particular. In the morning
the members of the association will meet
at their hall on Thirteenth street, and
headed by the band, proceed through the
principal streets to the place of starting.
AT North Bend a large party from Schuy-
Ter will join the eXcursionists, and it is
safe to say the day will long be romem-
bered for its attractive amusements. A
beautiful island IN the Platte river has
been selected for the picnic, large plat
form has been erected for dancing pur-
poses, swings. etc., have been CON
structed, and everything done that could
be done to make the day enjoyable to all.
The round trip tickets are only 81 90,
which is a small investment for a thou
sand dollars worth of fun.

lie Robbed His Old Eathor.

Edward Lynch, an elderly Irish gem
tleman who lives near the driving park,
complained at the police station yostcr-
day that he had been robbed by his own
boy, Patrick Lynch, a young lad but
sixteen years Of age. The old gentleman
had saved up $50 with which to pay for
the digging of a we'll and the making of
other improvements around his place.
He gave this to his daughter TO keep and
she sewed it up in the lining of one of
her dress skirts. Yesterday morning the
dress was found to have been robbed of
its sccrctcd wealth. The young Lynch
has been in Jail for drunkenness two or
three times of late and is training with a
tough crowd. His fathers heart is almost
broken over his waywardness.

Only few of the horny-handed and
kid glove citizens of Omaha were at the
depot last evening to throw the "old
slipper" after the city fathers as they
whirlcd away southward on the 910
Missouri Pacific train. To the uninitiated
this might seem lack of appreciation
for its law makers on the part of Omaha,
but it was not so-rather n very con-
slderate move, for had the city turned
out en- masse, as it intended, some folks
would be so mean as to say that Omaha
was glad to get rid OF its aldermen. So
the small attendance was very appropri-
ate. 1t saved the travellers hands, too,
for the paucity of shaking here will make
the party better prepared for the whole
sale welcoming the aldermen will get in
the cities they visit. Then again Captain
Wood was there, and If he can't make
the world think there is crowd around
and assume more Importance on smaller
capital than any one in these parts the
court is IN ignorance of its existence.
All the members were promptly on
hand and suitably equipped for the
journey. A large, mysterious looking
locker on the rear platform of the car
seemed to have some delicate connection
with the spiritual desires of the party,
but whether it contained dress suits for
Sunday wear or prayer books, could not
be ascertained Alderman Lee was the
only one who could not go, and OF course
his absence will be noticeable in this
social session as it is in the business meet
ings of the twelve solons. He had just
returned from Chicago and having i'm
portant business today claiming his at
tention he had to postpone the initial
pleasure of the trip, although he will join
his cOlaborers in the ordinance vineyard
at Kansas City tomorrow morning IN
time for first mass. Clerk Southard went
along, and as Mayor Boyd is absent from
the City, Alderman Lee is now Omaha's
mayor, and when he leaves Captain
Wood will be the chief executive. The

A THREATENED LYNCHING.
Alexander's Friends After His Assail'
ant Travis

Abner Travis, the assailant of AleXan-
der was released from Jail yesterday af-
ternoon, having furnished bonds in the
sum of $500 to appear for trial early next
week. Yesterday evening his wife made
. complaint at the police station that q
crowd of colored fellows. friends of Alex
andcr, had collected around Travis
house and were threatening to lynch
him. Captain Cormick at once went
to Travis house on Fifteenth street,
where he found a crowd of fifty or more
colorcd fellows who were holding a con
sultation among themselves, although
they had made no demonstration of any
kind against Travis or his people. The
captain ordered the crowd to dlspeIse
and stationed an officer near the
premises to keep watch during the night.
There is n strong feeling among the
colored friends of Alexander, and, in
case of his death, they will make a big
effort to revenge his death. He is now
lying at the hospital in precarious con
dition. He appears to have been injured
internally and is in a more dangerous
condition than was at first pronounced
broken, and his bead fearfully bruised
and battered. 1tbei worst effects, how
ever, will. result from the injury he re-
ceved from kick in the stomach. Alex
ander, by the way, iso looked upon rs n
hard man among the colored people, and
1t is altogether probable that Travis only
saved himself froma pounding by getting
the best of his opponeht. Alexander is
credited with having, killed man in
fight at Blair three or four years ago.
He has lived in Oniahaiabout a year, but
has had no trouble,Juntil his row with
