THE SAME OLD STORY.
c. II. Bredine Passes a Forged Check
on His Landlord.

Edward Mohl, broad-faced and credulous
German who conducts a hotel at 1914 South
Thirteenth street, had forged check worked
on him recently by scoundrel giving the
name of c. r. Bredne This fellow engaged
room from Mohl, for which he was to pay
81 per week. He only stayed about half the
week when he notified the landlord that he
had found more desirable quarters, One
dollar and fifty cents were due for the room
and Bredine rendered in payment check for
S25 On going through his pockets Mohl
found that he did not have $3.50 10 give
Bredine on the check, but offered to go with
him to the bank and get it cashed. "Neyer
mind,n says Bredine, II have another check
for $3.50; just take that and give me s. and
that will make it just right. This win save
US the trouble of going to the bank and do
not careabout carrying so much money about
my person anyway" The unsuspecting Ger
man turned over the cash and Bredine de-
parted, evidently for good, rs he has not
been seen since. Mohl kept the check until
Saturday night when he turned it over TO the
bank with the other fruits of his frugality.
The name Isaac Il. Congdon. was signed TO
the check and when II was presented to that

RAILROAD NEWS.
TO TIE CONVENTION.


On Sunday next all persons in the state
who intend going to the Chicago convention
are expected to meet at the Millard hotel
either in person or by representative, for the
purpose of making arrangements for trans
portation In this connection it may be well
to state that very lively little railroad war
is liable to occur over the arrangements
made. Mr.. Nash the agent of the Milwaukee

lected by the Nebraska committee on trans
portation for NebraSkans to take and conse-
quently he has made all the necessary
preparations having ordered a special tram
of Pullman sleepers which are to leave
Monday at 10 o'clock on fast schedule time
A rumor is prevalent to the effect that the
other roads will cut the rate already made,
$40. The Burlington officials stated yesterday
morning that unless forced to they would
not. A great deal depends upon the result of
the meeting Sunday next.
On Friday the Transcontinental associa-
tion holds meeting at St. Paul which will
be largely attended. The question as TO
whether the Burlington will turn it's trans
continental passenger traffic over to the
Union Pacific from Cheyenne westward will
be discussed at that time.
Director Miller of the Central Pacific, went
west in special car on the Union Pacific
last night.
Two car loads of teams and implements
and one car of men were shipped to Rulo last
night to work on the approach to the B. &
M. bridge.

Clever Female SmuggIer.

New YORK, June 12.-[Special Telegram to
THE BEE. The custom agents and Collector
Magone have made an alleged discovery of
smuggling on an extensive scale by Mrs.
Rose Ludvegh, a fashionable dressmalier of
Fourteenth street. She makes gowns for act
resses and many people of note, and her Gus
toners frequently have Paris-made costumes
ordered through her, Last winter her
brother Maurice Dusseldorf who is in busi-
ness in Paris, visited her here and the two
returned to Europe, the dressmaker with a
large order from customers for Worth
costumes. While at the French capital she
perfected clever scheme fol- evadng the
customs duty on dresses, most of which
were seized yesterday by the collectors
agents. When the costumes were prepared
Mrs. Ludvigh went to Miss Bessie Montour,
of this city, who was studying !elocutioE in
London, and induced her to return home as
an actress with Worth costumes as her
wardrobe, acting herself as Miss Montour's
maid. In that way the dresses, were passed
duty free on the usual declaration. These
gowns are now being worn. their owners
being innocent of the manner of their impor
tation, and they have not, and it is likely
will not be seized. Miss Montour has re-
turned to London to pursue her studies The
entire importation was valued at $4,000.

A Disordcrly Female.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Clara Mckinney,
q vivacious and pretty little widow of per-
haps thirty years, was arraigned before
Judge Aylesworth charged with keeping a
disorderly house. The complainant was
Mrs, A. Beech, who lives in the same house
with the defendant at 1906 Fourth avenue.
The defendants reputation as to chastity is
not quite as good as il might be, and she has
been forced to leave several locations on that
account. She made her last move on Friday,
the Sth inst, and u was an unlucky day for
her. Although stranger TO her new neigh
bors, they were not long in finding out her
past history, as her numerous gentleman
callers soon awakened their suspicious. The
defendant entered strong denials against the
accusations and said she was an honest, vir-
tuous woman, trying to make n living for
herself and little boy. The evidence was
strongly against her, and the court decided
that she must move as soon as she could find
another house, in the meantime cutting down
the number of her male visitors.
