News.
Erail French Folk 9,

Investigation has proved that Eugene
Lcgrc, the FrCnchman, who was arrested
Monday charged with larceny, was more
sinncd against than SHINING. The queen
bee of the disreputable hive on the north,
west corner of Dodge and Twelfth streets
evidently made the complaint against
Legre to get possession of portion of 5000
he had with him and also to prevent him
from running away with the Chicago girl,
Blanche Wilson. When the case was
called in the police court, ex.District
Attorney Burnham appeared for Legrc,
and Ed Crowell for Jennie Jansen, the
French woman, with Danish appclla-
ton. There was no evidence against the
prisoner either as to taking money or
clothing, ana he was acquitted. In order
to save further trouble, Legre by advice
of his attorney, consented to go to the
depot and open his trunks so that the
complainant could see he had only his
own property. Accordingly the attorneys
aforesaid, the parties to the suit, and
Philip HERMAN as French interpreter
extraordinary proceeded to the Union
Pacific baggage room. Here an agree
ment was drawn up, and signed by Jen.
ME Jansen, to the effect that she would
not consider the opening of the trunks
py Legre rs any confession on ms part
OF larcenous action Then occurred n
very lively scene-a regular French mel
odrama and very fortunately the words
of the frail Jennie were IN II language
unknown to most of the pYstanders, for
they were evidently of u naughty charac-
ter.
A few old pieces of linen and under
wear were found, which Jennie claimed
and they with a revolver were given
her and she and a dccollete. dressed com
panion departed. 1t seems that Legrc was
driven to the police office of his own accord
Monday. Jennie wanted HIM to come
back to her abode but be would not. On
the way to the jail the cabman had TO
interfere two or three times to prevent
the Jansen woman from making fric-
asse of Eugene. In the meantime it is
said the girl, Blanche Wilson, remains in
the city and will accompany Legre to
Denver, all other affections to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.

DARK-EYED LOVERS.
Eiopement of Two Young Members
of n Gypsy Band

of n Gypsy Band.
A short item appeared in the BEE yes
terday relative to young girl named
Nettie Brewer having been missed from
home. 1t now turns out that the girl has
eloped with young fellow named Sam
Young. Ali the parties are gypsies and
have been encampcd for some time near
Hascall's park. Timothy Brewer, father
of the girl, is one of the leading men,
bers of the tribe and the possessor of con-
siderable property in this city and Coun-
Gil Bluffs. Monday Mrs. Brewer went
to the last named place. During
who had been quite attentive to
Nettie for some time, procured a cab,
went to friends house and obtained
some wearing apparel the girl had been
secretly taking from home and the elope-
ment was inauguratcd. The couple
drove to the ferry cars" but the train
was just moving out and no more vehicles
could be taken aboard. Then Samuel
and Nettie insisted on riding over on the
train, and dischargIng the cab This
permission was granted them and ere
tins they are in Chicago. In the mean
time there is trouble in the gypsy camp
and the wedding bells soundeth not,
neither is the marriage feast spread,

Increase of Mail Work.

1t only needs casting of the critical
eye on John Christopherson, who has
charge of all the outgoing and incoming
mail matter at the depot, to see at once
that the mail business at Omaha is rapidly
growing, The average of outgoing mail
from this city now is near 1000 pounds
per day and the coming in about 200
pounds. Fourteen trains have to be
loaded with export mail matter, and four
teen with import mail, thus making
twenty-eight trains to DE attended to
every twenty-four hours. John has to be
on hand at the arrival and departure of
all of these trains, no matter how late
they may be, and must make report on
the hours of arrival and the cause of
''behlnd time" when any occurs. For n
big man, John has to fly around pretty
lively, and the great wonder Is that he
always keeps so good natured.

AN OFF DAY FOR TRAINS.
"Behind Time" the General Order on
ali the Roads.

all the Roads.
Yesterday was decidedly off day for
incoming trains especially those which
the schedule says should come at certain
hours of the evening. The first to make
a break was No. 4, or the % train from
the west. 1t did not show up until $40
and was crowded with passengers, most
of them for Omaha. Some indication of
the number can be gained from the fact
that forty pieces Of baggage were che ,ked
for this city The cause of delay was
dllatory connections with the Rio Grande
at Denver. The Kansas City came in
about an hour out of the way,
which was also caused by late east.
ern connections. Consolidated with it was
a mixed train made up at Hastings be.
cause of the regular b. Il M. from Den
yer being delayed by the Rio Grandc.
This train did not reach this city until
after 10 O'Clock at night. The Missouri
Pacific that should arrive at 6. p. m., did
not put an appearance until $3.50 a. m.
The arrival of the west bound train, the
delayed overland from the west and the
Missouri Pacific at about the same time
made things very lively at the depot con-
sidering the fact that there were only two
tracks to operate oh. Hereafter the even
ing transfer train that brings the eastern
passengers across the river will not be
delayed by the o'clock dummy, rs the
latter will side track and give it the right

THE LETTER SHEET ENVELOPE
What 1t is and How it Attracts Atten-
tion IN Town.

Uion IN Town. =.
Tuesday afternoon, Postmaster Cou-
tant received his first installment of sheet.
letter envelopes, The notice of them in
the BEE had generally directed the at,
tention of the public to them, and before
they had been placed on sale, a number
of requests had been made for them at
the stamp window. The new idea
is sheet formed generally like
a newspaper wrapper. They are of
a pale cream TINT, and adapted expressly
for the uses which they are intended to
subserye. They terminate on one end in
point like the gummed tlads of an en-
velope. The other extremity is cut at
right angles with the sides. Extending
from the latter, and on either side OF the
sheet is line OF pertoratlons, such as
those one sees in sheet of United
States postage stamps. AT about
three inches from the end last
described is small line of perforations
indicating how far the first fold of the
sheet should extend. When folded IL
this manner, the sides, at this point,
which are also gummed, are wet and
made to adhere by simply pressing them them
Is then wet and folded over
the sheet, which has already
been folded twothirds of It's
length. The sheet is now folded like a
wrapper around a paper, with the OK
ception that ITS ends are closed, as speci-
fled. When it is desired TO be opened, all
that is required is to tear the perforations
on either end when an opening is made.
The back of the sheet is printed in

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.
General Drum Talks on the Removal
OF the ApaCheS.

I. WASHINGTON, August 25.-[Special Tele-
gram to the BEE. l-Adjutant General Drum,
who is acting secretary of war, said to-day
that nothing has yet been done about the
proposition to remove the Apache Indians
from the San Carlos agency. There is no
doubt, however" he continued, "but that
such removal will eventually be necessary.
think it was a mistake in the first place to
locate them there permanently. The presi-
dent has always been in favor of their re-
moval," he continued, "holdlng that the band
OF Chihuahua Apaches, some four or five
hundred in number are captiyes of war and
should be placed where 1t will be impossible
for them to escape. As long as they are
kept ut San Carlos every facility is offered
for their becoming renegades. They are in
country that is almost entirely unpro-
tected, with mountain Businesses that are
very accessible, and with the Mexican border
line near at hand. The trouble that we have
had with them shows how they take adyan-
tage OF such opportunities"
''If the administration has been in favor of
their removal, how does it happen that action
has been delayed?'
First catch your fish, you know" was the
reply. III any are to be removed all should
60 III those on the reservation should be
transferred elsewhere, ii would prevent any
possibility of a return of Geronimo and
other hOsiiles who are out. There has al
ways been, and there is still, prospects of
these outlaws becoming worn out with being
continually hunted, and at last giving up tho
tight. I his they would never do If the res
eryatiOn Indians should be taken away"
"What is to become of Chief Chato and the
other Apaches who recently visited Wash
ington"
"They are now at Fort Leayenworth, and
will probably be detained there until some
thing is done about removing the whole band.
The Indians want everything, YOU know, and
as tile requests of Chato and his companions
were not granted, they would go back 10 the
agency disappointed and quarrelsome, apd
would be apt to make the Indians on the res
eryati0n restless and ugly"
"Will the Apaches be removed to the mill
tary reservation at Ft Marion, Ala?"
81 think very likely. They would be safe
there, and beside the climate would agree
with them. II would go very hard with them
20 remove them far north. Judging from the
fact that the president strongly fayors the re-
noyal of the Apaehes, and that ChatO and
those who accompany him are detained for
awhile at Fort Leavenworth, ii is thought the
removal will be made in the near future, even
II renegades do not come OF not are not cap
tured."
