THE new YORK AQUEDUCT
4 BREEZE STIRRED UP AMONG
THE OFFICIALS.
Charges or CrOOkedness and Fraud
on The Part Of the Chief
Engineer.

New YORK, March "A breeze has
been stirred up among the officials
connected with the construction of
new Croton aqueduct. The chief en-
gineer of this great and costly work is
named Church, and the construction
engineer il III. $. Craven, au officer in
the United States navy. Some time
ago Craven laid charges of derelictiOn
of duty against Chief Engineer
Church before the Board ct Aque-
duct Commissioners. Tlse result
has been an informal demand
ON Craven for his resignation. Craven
to-day addressed a letter to the board,
in which he refuses to resign on the
ground that such a course would be
tantamount TO an admission that his
charges against Church We're untrue.
lie reiterates his charges agliinst
the chief engineer, and asserts that
systematic efforts are being made to
get him out of office ia order that
CROOK EDNEss IN THE EXECUTION
of the contract may have full play.
He charges that various attempts have
been made TO compel him 10 with
draw, or, II he remains, to close his
eyes to open violations of contract,
for the benefit of the contractors. Tn
one occasion, he says, he was threat
ened that unless he quit seeing 50
much the Secretary of the Navy
would be prevailed ON TO return him
to his regular naval duties. He
says he can prove that inferior ma-
sonry has been accepted by Engineer
Church after its rejection by the
writer and two or three inspectors;
that wooden timbers are being pub up
to supply the place of masonry, and
that timbers are being paid for twice.
He intimates that the Board of Com
even do not show proper
zeal for the enforcement of honesty in
the work.

of the Prohibitionist Committee af
tending to encourage the negTO in the
demand for civil rights. A Masfa'

This last remark came near resulting
in q personal difficulty. But friends
interfered, and the Massachusetts,
man was earnestly advised TO desist in
making any more such remarks. He
was bent on arguing the equality ques-
ton, however, into the people, and
went to the courthouse. After lis
tening to the speech OF the bishop, he
came back still more enthused. Moth

Sunday morning there died in this city
of pneumonia John Lind. one of the best
known and most popular cowboys of
Wyoming. AS early as 1872 John was
working in the territory, being an EN-
ploye of f. W. Phillips, sixteen miles
from Fort Laramie. Lind rapidly made
for himself the name Of one of the best
cowmen in the territory and was largely
employed In places of trust and respon-
sibilty; a general ~favorite among the
boys Where John Lind led good
work was sure to follow, and for the ten
or fifteen years that he led the rangemen
he made their interests and those of their
employers identical. John was Sc years
of age when he died. He was born in
the state of Pennsylvania and came to the
new west at an early age. Many a wild
heart will throb thickly and many a rough
hand wipe away the unaccustomed tear
when the news of John Lind's death
reaches the ranges. Mortals are but falli-
BILE, and John had his %failings. May his
many good qualities plead his cause in the
unknown land he has entered and his
faults meet with the lieniency and consid

Stock Inspector Sparhawk of Fremont

For the past two years the stockmen OF
Fremont county have been plundered by
thieves issuing from the border noun
tains of Montana and Idaho. Through
the Joint exertions of Inspector Sparhawk
and Sheriff Canton of johnson county
a number of this gentry have been cap
tured, but the mountains still continue to
pour them forth.
In the present ease it is reported that
quite a band of horses have been stolen
and the inspector is hot on the tracks o.
the thieves. They are supposed to be
heading in the direction of Butte, Silver

Arrival of the Conference.-The Work
Practically Began

Contractor Coots arrived in the city
Sunday, and at once began arrangements
for work on the new depot. A party OF
Cheyenne 4 Northern surveyors were en-
gagged yesterday in laying out the grounds,
and men were digging post holes for the
erection Of the depot enclosure. From
the present freight depot a siding will be
run to the site of the new building. This
will be commenced this morning and
probably finished by this evening.
Contractor Coots went to Fort Collins
yesterday. The stone for the new depot
will come from the Fort Collins quarrics,
and will be cut there. From Foit Collins
the contractor will 90 to Denver, return
ing next Wednesday. Stone will be
shipped at once, and active work is the
order Of the day.
Such materials as doors, sashes. etc,
have been in vigorous course of prepare
ton in Omaha for the past month. En-
ergy and foresight have evidently been at
work, and Cheyenne's new depot will soon
be an actual presence.

Ac 'ording to the plan adopted, the
capitol will be an imposing and well pro-
portioned structure in the classic %renais-
sance style of architecture, of rock face or
ashlar work, with cut stone trimmings.
Over the main entrance will be a portico
OF doric columns, and the other fronts
will also be largely ornamented with pill
lars of stone. The plan has wisely been
selected with a view to future additions,
provided for in the design, and thoroughly
in harmony with its details. The build
ing TO be erected upon the preseni appro-
priation will have a length of ll6 feet,
with a depth through the ENTER of 40
feet, measuring between the extreme bases
OF the steps on either side; to the sum-
nit of the dome the height will be l36
feet. In addition to the ground floor and
second story there will be an attic above
as well as a basement below. The gen
eral view of the building will be superb

Now working on the street gang is one
of the hardest specimens of juvenile de-
pravity that ever driited to Cheyenne.
He is of Jewish extraction and during
the eighteen years of his life he has man
aged to wallow in and out of all the slums
of vice between New York and San Fran
cisco. He was picked up on the streets of
Cheyenne last Saturday by Officer Nolan,
as a tramp and a vagabond and given
quarters in the City hall for the night.
The next morning he told the officer in
charge of the street gang that he had been
tried and fined $40 and costs the evening
before and was to go out on the gang
when they went to work. Accordingly
the officer took him along and he i'm
proved the first opportunity to escape.
That evening the telephone gave iniorma.
ton of a gang of tramps located at the
stock yards, and when they we're brought
in Chas. Myers or the Jewish Lamb
was among them. This time he did moi
escape Judge Lees attention and wa:
fined $50. This he is now working out.
Since his sentence he has become quite
laxative and delights in telling his vaga.
bond sorry. Starting from New York he
came to Omaha, and during the last six
months has wandered all over Nebraska
and Colorado, cumming his way always
and seeing the inside of no less than nine
teen different jails. His natural capabili-
ties as a reprobate are enormous, and he
bids fair to reach the topmost round Of
his profession and from thence to step
