company met with an unfortunate breakdown
at the corner of Tenth and Jones. That in
tersection is an eyesore to drivers. in the fire
department. Only a small space is left for
the apparatus to get through, a big pile of
stuff with two sickly looking red lanterns
being right in the middle of the street. Two
trains of cable cars stood there last evening
as the company dashed down, and the clang-
ing bells and bowling of a pack Of worthless
ours that are always in the vicinity scared
the obstruction mentioned and the cart
swung around and struck the sewer grating
and a wooden crosswalk, swapping the right
hind wheel of. 1t was a narrow escape for

oil of the Standard oil company shall or can
be transported 200 miles to its supply sta
ton at Omaha, and then 1000 miles west to
other supply stations to compete with the
simple process of refining oil at Omaha, Chey
enne or Rawiins, or at the wells, And, besides
the lighting qualities too of the Standard are
on the wane. Men cannot last forever. Tho
death of Stephen v. Hardness occurred in
Florida a few days since. He put 500, 900 in
the original plant Of Rockefeller, Andrews &
fIagler IN 1871. The profits of that invest
ment will now foot up S12. 900, 900. He also
set up his relative, II. M. Flagler, at the
same time with $50, 600 as his interest. He it
is who is building the $4,000, 900 hotel at
Ponce de Leon, Florida. They are becom-
ing wearied and are more interested in the
manipulations of their trust certificates at
the stock exchange, with occasional relaxa-
ton in Florida, than the legitimate business
of refining oil. And with the enormous
expense attending all their operations, they
can by no means to-day, everything else be-
ing equal, compete with the economical treat
ment of the crude oil of Wyoming by those
who understand the business. There is o

THE CARPENTERS.
Several Interesting Addresses Before
the Union Last Might.

s'S Shfoh LuSt NISiIt
A very largely attended meeting of the
Omaha Carpenters Union No. 5S was held
at Central hall last night, over three hundred
carpenters and a sprinkling of other me-
chanics being present. The meeting was
called to order by William McGregor, presi-
dent of the carpenters union, who stated the
ob1ect,of the meeting to be to carry outjsthe
provisions of its constitution relative to the
mental Improvement of the members of the
craft, With this. object in view the commit
tee which had been charged with arranging
this meeting had invited several prominent
citizens to address the union on the relations
of labor and its condition in this city. The
president then introduced Mr.. e. Rose
water as one Of the invited speak
ers. Mr.. Rosewater's address
covered the labor troubles that have dis
tnrbed all civilized countries in late years,
the causes which make cooperation among
~Worklngmen a necessity, the effects and in
cidentally the peculiar features of trades
unionism with regard to placing all mechan-
les OF each trade on an equal footing. The
address was listened to with close attention.
Mayor Broatch was then introduced and
made some remarks in regard to his own
afiliation with the knights of Labor, which
he declared was not inspired by political am
bition. TIL mayor warmly endorsed the
points brought out by Mr.. Rosewater and
said he was strongly in. favor of any lauda-
BILE effort to better their condition, as long as
they conducted themselves in an orderly
manner.
Brother. Reeves, one of the oldest
and most popular members of the
union, was called out and made
a very logical appeal for united action and in
favor of maintaining the the nine hour work
ing day.
The closing address was made by the
president, MIR. McGregor, who has the happy
faculty of hitting the nail on the head every
time and using plain cerpenter's English. A
large portion of his address was devoted to
an explanation of the aims, objects and prin-
ciples of the union and the benefits which it
confers upon its members.
The meeting adjourned about 10 80, after
a vote of thanks to all the speakers. General
satisfaction was expressed with the meeting,
which was strictly devoted to industrial sub.

Badeau and the G rants.'

New York, March 17.-[Special Telegram
to the BEE.l-From the tone of an interview
had with Colonel Fred. Grant, some very
spicy developments may be expected when
the suit which General Adam Badeau has
brought against the widow of General Grant,
comes into court. General Badeau CLAIMS
compensation for services alleged to have
been rendered in cooperation with General
Grant on the latter's Memoirs. Badeau
says, in effect, that he is part author of the
Eemoirs. He named no sum, hut asks q
general accounting with Mrs. Grant.
Colonel Grant says: General Badeau was
not a joint author of my fathers Memoirs.
That is absolutely false. He was hired by
father as an amanuensis to copy or correct
matter prepared by father, and prepare it for
the printer. He was to receive an amount
not to exceed $4,000 if he would do the work
and attend. to all the drudgery until
the book was completed, If father died be-
fore the book was finished General Badeau
was to complete it with me. He. did not
complete it,, but after a time wrote a
letter to father complaining bitterly of the
irksome character Of the work and demand
ing s 1000 a month. The letter was imperti-
nent and the terms extravaganza. Upon its
receipt father discharged General Badeau
from his employ, and from that time had no
relations with him whatever. Our family Is
willing to pay him reasonable compensation
for what he did, but will not pay one cent on
the hypothesis that he is joint author Of the
Memoirs" Colonel Grant will say nothing of
the scene which took place at General Grants
bedside between himself, his father and Gem
eral Badeau, when it is said the latter was
soundly rated by the dying veteran for in
gratitude, This, it is expected, will come
out in court. The last letter written by
Grant to Badeau, part of which is printed to-
day, is severely scathing. Interesting deyel-
opments are expected. s3e

, WYOMING's OIL FIELDS.
For a Big Boom This
e ISnrinp.


The oil men are feeling jubilant over the
prospects this spring Of developments in the
Wyoming field. Small companies are being
organized in various places, not SO much to
sell stock, but to raise sufficient money to
test the territory. With the abundance of
surface oil that exists in many localities, the
chances are more than favorable that before
the summer of 1888 ends in some well devel:
oped sections a forest of derricks may be
seen with the paraphanalia of portable en-
gines, pipe lines, stills, tubing and tanks.
iJust as certain as the sun Shines said
an intelligent Pennsylvania yesterday, ''the
territory of Wyoming is the natural store
house for this supply west of the Missouri:
geographically, the surface is identical, and
the quality and gravity of the oil the same
as that of the now famous Baku region in
Russia. Two thousand tank cars are now
daily winding over the steep grades of those
mountains from Baku to Batoum, a distance
of 800 miles. The steamers of the Baltic and
Caspian sea are run exclusively by this oil
for fuel. Immense tank steamers are
of crude oil. In fact, one-fifth Of the
petroleum supply of Europe is now
furnished from that region where five years
ago not a tenth was so supplied" Warming
up with his subject, this gentleman con-
tinued:. 49,

ming oil in many localities will yield a larger
per cent Of illuminating oil and with a far
better odor.
"And more than all else, the diplomacy Of
the Standard oil company is on the Wane in
all Europe as well as in this country. The
complaints and grievances of the people dur
ing the past decade are eliminating IN a series
of court and interstate decisions
by which law and justice are being promul-
gated.
''The decision of the interstate commerce
committee two weeks ago in the case of
Gearge Rice against the railroad companies,
by which the Standard must pay equal rates
with all men, is a progression item in this in
dustry. 1t is quite absurd TO assert that the
