WHERE Is MELLO:
Great Mystery Surrounds the Move
ments of the Rebel Admiral

Pernambuco, Dec. 27.-The greatest
mystery surrounds the movements of
the rebel Admiral Mello. Nothing has
been seen of him since he sailed north
on the Goth, presumably to show fight
to the new government cruisers Meth
eroy and America.
Word is received of trouble between
Brazil and Portugal because by order
of President PeiXoto the Portuguese
minister was detained against his will
stating the minister tried to leave de-
spite the presidents order. and that
force was employed to detain him.
LATER.
The excitement increased in intensity
when the news reached here from Ba-
hia that Admiral Mello had arrived
there The rebel warships are now re-
ported to be coaling at Bahia prepara-
tory to sailing for PernambucO with
the intention of capturing or destroy
ing the Nictheroy.
Advices from Bahia also say that
here tomorrow. Nobody believes Mel
10 will make an attack upon the Mic
theroy in broad daylight. Rumor has
it that Captain Nunez, Of the Nicthe-
roy, may torpedo the barbor. The
electric search light on the Nictheroy
is kept in thorough working order
and the people of Perrambuco are
again worked up to the highest pitch
Of excitement in anticipation of wit
Messing a battle between the dynamite
cruiser and the rebel warships.
A sharp lookout is kept all along the
neighboring coast and siGral men are
stationed upon every elevation of
ground from which a good view of
the coast waters may be obtained.
The government torpedo school ship,
Parahyba, arrived here ard almost as
suddenly disappeared, fearing, it is
said, to be engaged in the coming
struggle between the Nictheroy and the
rebel ships.

The Union Trust Company, as receiver of
the Concordia, No. 4, Saving and Loan
Association, yesterday filed suit against
Frederick Lorenz and the other directors
of the association for damages in the sum
of $1,000. The plaintiff alleges that it was
due to the negligence and m-ismanagement
of the defendants that the association
failed. The complaint charges that the de-
PENDANTS failed to attend the meetings Of
the directors: that they permitted business
to be transacted by less than a quorum
of the directors; that one member of the
directory was allowed to transact the bust
ness; that the directory approved the bust
ness thus transacted; that the directory
failed to require a bond from the secretary
and failed to require him to make reports;
that it failed to require a bond from the
treasurer; that it appointed one of the di-
rectors on the auditing committee and
failed to require the committee to perform
the work required of it. 1t is also alleged
that it allowed bills to be paid without the
recommendation of the auditing committed;
that it failed to take proper precautions
for the preservation of the accounts, and
require the paymen OF dues and lines and

IN BEHALF OF GARFIELD PARK.
Meeting of SOuth-Side Property own
ers--ResOIutiOns Drawn Up.

Drawn tDs
With "A view to advancing the interests of
the South Side, and particularly that por-
ton lying south of Pleasant run, a half
hundred property owners held a meeting
last night at the home of James Twlname,
ON Barth avenue. Joseph Beatty was made
chairman of the meeting, and speeches
were made by John Mallory. William
Beatty, DIR. J. w. Hervey. b. W.. Hartley
and others. Although the meeting was
called to discuss Garfield Park improve
ments, the remarks of those present di-
verged into other channels, and before the
meeting adjourned it was the general opin-
ion that the South Side was not receiving
the attention it should from the Board of
Public Works and the City Council. Wig
orous complaint was made of the unim-
proved streets, the absence of natural gas
and the limited fire protection. One citizen
asserted that Shelby street south of Pleas
ant run supports three country culverts.
Another property owned claimed that the
lack of sewers along Shelby street was the
cause of an inundatlon during the rainy
season that converted town lots into mini
AZURE lakes. On the question of Garfield
Park improvements the sentiment was
thought that the city should complete the
park work without further delay, and a
mmft was appointed to draft reSolu-
tons for the edification of the Mayor and
Board of Public Works. The committee.
composed of j. c. Adams, Thomas Marley,
William Beatty, j. r. Twiname. DIR. j. w.
Hervey. Gen. John Coburn and b. w. Hart
ley, prepared lengthy resolutions imploring
the City Council to approve the action of
the Board of Public Works in appropriate
ing $4,000 for the improvement of Garfield
Park. The resolutions also asked that the
proposed Improvement of Shelby and East
streets to Raymond street be advanced and
pushed 10 final completion. The Board of
Public Works is further asked TO insist and
if necessary demand of the Citizens Street
rli1rAQ6 COmnanV that II extend lis SNStpm.
so long contemplated and promised. TO Gar
field Park. A1ast clause in the resolutions
requests that trees be planted in the park,
and thai a pavilion be placed there for
shelter to those who visit the resort.

VIII Aid the Union Pacific.

The appointment of Union Pacific re-
ceivers for the Oregon short line at Chey-
enne, yesterday. has provoked much COM
ment among Western railroad men, since
1t practically reunites the Union Pacific
system. which was lately threatened with
total disruption. The appointment of the
Union Pacific receivers for the Oregon
snort line considerably strengthens the
overland situation and gives the key to
the Sound country into the hands of the
Union Pacific. Should the road have broken
away from the fold, as in the case of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Company,
the Union Pacific and the Denver & Gulf
companys, il would have seriously en-
barrassed the main line and earnings
would have fallen off in consequence Had
things been different the Burlington, Rio
Grande and even the Rock ISLAND might
nave gone into the Sound country on a
traffic basis. but now the Union Pacific is
in a position to fight the boycott inaugu-
rated in 1892 against the road because II
demanded the long haul one way. This ap-
pointment of Judge Riner, of Wyoming,
closes the Ogden gateway in the interest
of the Union Pacific and IL will continue
to entrench itself in consequence.
