CARRIERS.
Sad Experience on Exasperating Rail
roads,

l hate to speak lightly of a common
carrier or u corporation, not knowing
hew soon | may be a common carrier or
a corporation myself, but it does seem to
me that mere in New York, where we
have every advantage of schools and
churches and newspapers, with or with
out pictures-newspapers in the morn
ing, newspapers at noon and eve and
non till The mex day; there, where you
can buy almost anything that heart II
wish, from a porpoise-hide shoe-lace or
u violet bouquet to an alderman, that
the baggage express might be more
reliable. If it cannot get our baggage
from point to point on timo, let it so
state. AS it is now, lovers are forever
separated, husbands and wives glare
at each other across the break
fast table and weep in their omelet.
Men order their baggage sent to Court
landt street ferry by 5 o'clock, and it
gets to Desbrosses street ferry at $50.
They depend on their goods getting
down from the Sartoga train to the Hotf-
man house in time for their wives and
themselves to dress for an evening
party, and miss itall because money can
not buy time even if it could buy
clothes. if, gentle reader, you have
been u woman and looked with wet and
anxious eyes for q sneaky, swayback
horse, with a blue democrat WACO to
bring the trunk, which held the whole
summers triumph in his bosom; waited
till the lonesome shadows dame down
and blotted out you hopes of a happy
evening with your friends, you know
what it is to feel bitterly, without even
the luxury granted to sinful man OF eX-

the windows rattle and the wall paper

INVESTIGATING TIRE UNIVERSITY,
The committee appointed by the legislature
to Investigate the affairs of the state univcr-
sity is actively at work. $50 many reckless
charges have been made against the man
agement of the university during the last
few years that great prejudice has been
created against the school. Afew discharged
professors and some other personal enemies
OF the board of regents have been talking in
a very unCharitablc and very severe
way of the managers of the university.
IL has been thought by the friends of the
school that the best way to put n quletus
upoh all these charges was to have an official
investigation, with a verdict that would be
less ISLANDERS against the school. In the little
investigation that the committee have al
ready made they discover that a good deal
of the expected evidence rests upon
a sort of moral basis that is very
intangible and substantial, They find
that a good many Of the charges are
based upon what men think and not
what they know. So it is going TO be pretty
difficult to meet face to face a square and
direct issue between the complainants and
those whom they accuse.

Railroad Building at Crete.

CRETE, April 14.-LCorrcspondence of the
BEE. The Missouri Pacific railroad COM
papy are pushing their connections to the ut
most capacity Of their working force. From
all accounts gathered they have great diff
Guilty in procuring men and teams to push
forward their work. A train load of ma
t~erials, consisting of rails, ties, etc, has ar
rived. Two hundred men will be put to work
to push the work through to Taluage at the
earliest possible moment. On account of the
many buildings being erected and the num-
Der of men and teams employed 1t is almost
impossible to procure help TO accommodate
the great demand that is being made.
Not in five years has Crete advanced so
much as during the past eight months.
D~welling,houses have sprung up in every por-
ton Of the city, and the business streets are
alive with men and teams digging and haul
ing dirt from the many cellars for the cree
ton of business blocks. The large parochial
brick school IS just about finished, and a
magnificent high school will soon be begun
to be finished this summer, capable of accom-
mOdating 100 scholars, TO cost S25, 0uO.
Fifty thousand dollars is the amount to be
spent for improving and identifying the
assembly grounds.
Business men are adopting the arc system
of electric lighting and doing everything in
their power to make the city compare favor
ably with the larger cities 80 far as money,
| energy and push will do il, 1t is estimated
that the total amount of taxable property
| added to the city's wealth win reach $3.50, 900.
Mechanics of all kinds are needed and there
is not an unemployed man in the place, The
Missouri Pacific railroad finds great difficulty
in securing workmcn enough in consequence
| of most all of the hitherto unemployed men
| being busily engaged on other work through
out the city. Thirty-four railroad men came
in on the 1855 last night. Thirty men with
teams are busily at work in the west part Of
town grading and laying rails to connect the
Missouri Pacific and Il. s. NJ. with the stock
yards.

Hard Girls to Arrest.

Birdie Robinson and Emma Turner, two
negrosses of bad repute who are familiar fig
ures in the police court, got drunk yesterday
and became noisy and demonstrative on the
street. They disregarded all injunctlons of
Officer Vanous to keep quiet, and
he declared them under arrest. But
when he attempted to take them
to the patrol box q tussle ensued
and the colored cyprians commenced to bite,
scratch and pound the officer. One blow that
Birdie let fly struck Vanous in the eye, en-
circling it with q dark ring and swelling it
nearly shut. Hundreds of spectators gath
cred about the scene of combat, enjoying it
hugely and encouraging the female bruisers
with such remarks as, go IT, Birdie" First
blood for Robinson "Foul for the
cop,' etc. Vanous is a young man and
as a matter of course rather gallant, and he
was disposed to ward off the blows rather
than return them. He was shortly rein
forced by Officer Shields, who seized Birdie
by her two wrists and ierked her away from
Vanous. She commenced to spit in his face,
but when the officer twisted her arms a time
or two in his vice-llke grasp, she desisted, as
she has a profound respect for muscular
men. Vigorous measures on the part of Van
Gus soon conquered the other Amazon, and

at the same time stretching out his legs
and bracing his feet against a small
boulder in front of him. He had not
been there long when the boulder under
his feet gave way and went roll
ing down the hill. Frand raised
himself and listlessly followed after
the rolling stone-aud just here we will
digress and say hat his then experience
exploded the old aphorism that q ''roll-
ing tone gathers no mossN-and pick
ing it up, was surprised at it's weight
and general appearance. He showed
the stone to ome miners soon after, and
they pronounced it horn silver ore of
the richest character. T~hcreupou Frank
prospccted the place and soon found a
ledge which paid big from the start, so
that in less than a month after opening
the mine Mr.. Frank Martins check was
worth its fncc from 81, 200 to 5000. He
had hosts of warm friends-indeed his
friends were Notwithstanding from
Houston on the north to Blackfoot in
the center and HALEY and Salt Lake in
the east.
One evening, after delivering n ship
ment OF his ore to the reduction works
at HALEY, Mr.. Martin dropped into a
restaurant and ordered n square meal.
He was promptly served by u comedy
waiter girl, and, being in n somewhat
hilarious mood, challenged the girl to
marry him then and there. She ac-
cepted his protfer, n justice of the peace
was sent for and the twain we're made
one. About six months after this he
sold his name for the sum above stated,
and, naturally enough, the transition
from extreme indulgence to much wealth
unshipped what little intellect he had.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 15.-TSpecial
Telegram TO the BEE. IA brutal prize
fight took place near this city to-day between
Jack Hiring, a local hitter, and James Bush,
who claims to be the middle weight champion
of California. The fight has been eagerly
looked forward TO by Cheyenne sporting
men for several weeks, and several hundred
were present to witness the battle, which
took place in Colorado, close to the Wyo-
ming line. The fight was under the London
prize-ring rules, with skin-tight gloves, aud
for a purse Of $500. Bush, who weighed 145
pounds, was outmatched by the Cheyenne
man, who weighed l51.
The first round opened with lively work,
both men getting in heavy face blows. The
Californian, however, was second best and
came out of the round with a closed right
eye, which he failed to open again through
out the fight.
In the second round both men fought with
caution and both favored the tactics of the
Mitchell and Sullivan fight. The round ended
with a rush and fall, with the Cheyenne man
on top.
In the third round Bush was severely
slugged, and when it ended his face and
body were covered with blood from a nunlber
of terrible blows, while the Cheyenne man
was uninjurcd.
The remainder of the fight was a pitiable
exhibition of how much pounding a man can
endure. For six more rounds the Californian
was numerically slugged and finally knocked
out of time by being dashed to the ground
with such terrific force that he lay as though
killed, and his second threw up the sponge.
1t required half an hours rigorous work to
bring the defeated man to consciousness, and
his physician states tonight that his injuries
are extremely dangerous and may prove
fatal.

Live Dogs Not stoaloI,,o.

Judge Dresser has ruled that a live dog is
not stealable in Maine Under the Maine
law dog is not subject to larceny, because
he is not an article Of food, not made bv the
toll Of man, and rot included in any other Of
the classes Of stealable property. However
the hide of dog is stealable, because it is
made valuable by the toll of man. Thus the
owner Of dead dog is protected by law.
while the owner of live dog is left to his
own resources to protect his dog. This is
quite premium on dead dogs. The legisla-
ture has the power to make a live dog sfeala-
bic If the legislature fails to do this the
dog comes under the common law, and you
can make off with him, and, although he
cost his owner a small fortune, and was inn
ported from Italy, you can't be arrested for
stealing But the owner can bring a civil
action either Of trcspass, trover or repleyin.
