Vienna Despatch TO London News.f
A year ego an extraordinary viii was
proved at Pesth, whereby the tcstator
a physician named Goldberger de Bu-
da, feft half his fortune-about quar-
ter Of q million of florins--to accumu-
late for the benefit of posterity until
the interest should suffice to relieve
destitution universally. According to
calculation made by the testator, his
wishes might be carried out when the
capital represented 209,0O0,000 florins.
The will ia now contested by one of the
legatees, and the case Is to be tried
next November, when claimants are
expected from London, the United

This was done by means of home boxes, and
az the end of three months they were carried
TO headquarters, and the contents utilized for
charitable purposes. It would require, of
course, great respect for ones word to keep
the pledge, since many pennies collected in
the box would stamp one as i'll natured or q

A Three Chambered Abode.

Man is an abode OF three chambers. There
is the outer hall, where casual callers are re-
ceived there is the inner reception room,
where friends are welcomed and pass hours
in familiar intercourse; there is the secret
ianermost department, where no foot, how
ever near and dear, may ever tread, when
the man sits with his own soul None else
may know its angles, its recesses, how it is
furnished, whether it is well appointed or
ssualid, whether it is bright or gloomy,
whether it is garish or modest. Yet there
are moments when the curtain before the
door seems lifted for an instant, and the eye
of friend may see, or fancy it sees, some
thing of the sacred solitude.-Frederick Haz-

DESIRE.

No Joy for which thy hungering heart has painted,
No hope it cherishes through waiting years,
But if thou dost deserve it, shall be granted;
For with each passionate wish the blessing
nears.
Tune up the fine strung instrument of thy being
To chord with thy dear hope, and do not tire;
When both, in key and rhythm are agreeing,
Lo! thou shalt kiss the lips of thy desire.
The thing thou cravest so, weits in the distance,
Wrapt in the Sences, unseen Apd dumb.
Wis thine to make it part of thy existence;
Live worthy of it-cal-and it will come.

Two Lively RrnnChns.

A lively runaway took place on
Broadway yesterday between II and l
o'clock, which came near resulting
fatally. Two boys by the name OF
Weatherbee had pair Of bronchos at
tacned to an old PAIR of wheels and were
attempting to drive them. The ami
mails became excited; and finally ran
away. They dashed up Broadway at a
terrible pace, narrowly missing several
buggies standing near the curbstone.
Mrs. j. +. Metcalf was sitting in her
buggy in front of Lentzinger's bakery
as the frightened animals dashed along.
The runaway team collided with her
vehicle, one wheel running over the
buggy seat and the axle caught the as
tonished woman across the throat with
force nearly sufficient to unjoint her
neck. The obstruction proved too much
for the harness, and the wagon stopped
while the bronchOs continued their
flight. Mrs. Metcalf was left in Il very
awkward as well as painful predica-
ment. The axle was lying across her
throat and she was perfectly helpless.
Several men who witnessed the acci
dent fastened to remove the weight,
but the woman was insensible. She was
taken into De Haven's S drug store and
medical assistance summoned. 1t was
over an hour before she could be taken
home.
Her escape from death was almost
miraculous. and it will be some time
before she RECEIVERS from her unpleasant
experience. The boys escaped unin-
jured and the bronchos will probably be
all right-when they are found.

orders to that effect were issued by the

showed his hold on the theater- going

makers his company stands remarkably
well, and Council Bluffs will always
greet them, as on last evening, with u
packed house.

tween Dell &. Morgan, the Broadway

two wagered mustaches on the general
result, the loser to sacrifice his pet.
The alderman is on the losing side of

as his upper | ip still supports its shade.

lege the aldermanic appendage, neatly
tied with blue ribbon, will probably

First Motor Into Omaha,

Yesterday afternoon motor train
was run over the new bridge-the first
one to cross. The party consisted of
members OF the bridge company, headed
by Manager Evans and accompanied by
number of prominent citizens and rep
resentatives OF the press. There are
many little details of construction
which are not complete and perfectly
adjusted, but the motor worked like u
charm. It's speed was regulated easily,
the starts and stops were quick and
smooth, and all seemed delighted. 1t
is apparent that when everything is
complete and in working order the
motor will win popularity bordering
on enthusiasm.
The stop in Omaha was brief. The
party We're there joined by Mr.. Charles
J.. Pullman, the manufacturer of the
elegant cars used on the line, Mr..
Theodore +. Bailey, of Chicago, the
general agent OF the Thomson Houston
Electric company, whose system is
used on the motor line, Ben
Smith, w. G. Morse, Frank Murphy,
j. I'll. Millard and othcS vell-known
Omaha gentlemen. The return trip
was made ata rapid speed, especially
along Avenue A.
There was no little curiosity TO see
how the horses crossing the bridge
would take to the new cars, with their
mo pushee" and only one ''pullee."
They seemed to take il rather more
kindly than many predicted. A few

come this in some way. They appear
as registered from seminary of
OF learning" as students, and this raises
the presumption against them. They
must show that they have acquired u
domicile here independently of their
being students.
Corporation Council Beekman has ad-
vised the police commissioners that the
intent governs the students right to
vote in New York City. He says there
is nothing to prevent such students
from adopting New York City as their
residence, as well rs their place of edu-
eating. If they adopt it in good faith
they are entitled to vote there.

Can the Students Vote? :?

FOrty-two students Of the Union Theo-

by President Hastings, of the seminary,
and Lawyer Kingsley. They appeared
in response to request from the dis
trict attorney. The Wow OF the district
attorneys office as to their righ. TO vote
was explained to them and they were
told that they would be .chal-

Personal Paragraphs.

r. Fl. La Potte, Logan's enterprising
news dealer, was in the city yesterday
and favored THE BEE with call.
Mr.. w. J. Agnew, of Plattsmouth,
Neb., is in the city spending Sunday
with his sister, Mrs. S. j. Swanson.
ID. M. Owen, of the grading firm of
Owen Bros. has sufficiently recovered
from his recent illness to be able to be
on the street again. He could not give
mp at the first call, and will try this
world for another whirl.
Mr.. McAdam, the well-known paving
contractor, is closing up his business
here as quickly as possible, and will
leave for Chicago Tuesday evening. He
has just completed three months job
in this city, and returns home as the
season is over. The company's outfit
will be left here, as they expect to do
more work next year in this city. He
will take away, however, the best
wishes of hosts of friends, for he is u
genial, whole-souled gentleman, and
none wish him more success than his
friends in tho Bluffs.

City Warrants Rising.

The city warrants issued this month
are selling at 80 cents on the dollar.
This is an increase of } cents over any
price paid for several months. The
jump is due to the fact that all warrants
will be called in January l. In the
meantime the warrants draw uer cen t
interest. 1t is hoped that the price will
continue to go up. Much inquiry is
made in eastern money markets as to
why the city scrip, or warrants on the
general fund are below par. while city
bonds sell at par, and it requires a great
deal OF explanation. Last year the
building of the new fire house on Upper
Broadway and the purchase of the ele-
phantine truck had a tendency to de-
press the value of the warrants. and it
is quite probable that the building of
the new pest house and the contem-
plated purchase of 900 feet of new hose
for the fire department will have a sim
liar tendency. The reason is that these
large warrants come in for payment in
order, the same as smaller ones, and
take out so much money from the treas
ury that II large number Of smaller war
rants, which would otherwise be paid,
are not paid until several months later.
AS result buyers will not pay as much
as when there are no large warrants
outstanding, as they do not have to
carry them as long in the latter case.
