himself to n number OF things.
AT first 1t was reported to the police
that several watches and a large sum

dimes, and keg of picked tripe were
missing. The cash drawer was ri1ed
of $3.50.
The supposition Is that the thief
made bluff at sleeping off Il drunk:
and finding himself unnoticed, resolved
to remain in obscurity and await his
opportunity to rob the place. Suspicion
rests on several frequcnters of the
place.

IN FINE VOICE.
Gw!ym Miles was never heard in
better voice. The resonant beauty of
his tones seemed to be particularly
well brought out in the great auditor
ium. "Honor of Arms" from "Sam-
son" was better sung than this un-
sngable selection deserves. The en-
core, 1'osti's YOU" was far and away
more satisfactory and contained much

some of the best work of the evening;
His voice is a distinct pleasure. richly
musical and tllrobbing with feeling.
Miss Belle Newport was new TO most
of the listeners. She has Il carefully
trained contralto. with beautiful lower

clear enough for the great building in

German aria "Ich wob dies Gewand,"
with exceedingly good taste. "Ecs-

beauty roses. so immense that two
ushers found it no easy task 10 carry
it. was presented to Miss Newport at
the close OF her first solo.
Perhaps the chief delight of the even

COMPANY eETs RIeHT OF WAY
Council Practically Decides On-Pe-
titiOn of Burlington
Railroad.

The ordinance introduced at the meeting
Of the city council last Monday, giving the
Chicago. Burlington & Quincy railroad the
right to maintain two main tracks on
Eleventh avenue from Main street. to the
Union Pacific transfer depot, will not be
opposed. The aldermen as a committee OF
the whole went over the ground yesterday
morning in company with the local ondcers
of the railroad and found no reason why
the request should not be granted.
In consideration for the passage OF the
ordinance the railroad has agreed to con-
struct waterways on each side of Main
street at It's tracks Of sufficient capacity
to carry OF the water which heretofore In
times Of heavy rains has flooded the street
to such an extent as, to make It impas-
sable for street cars. The surface water
from the adjoining side streets congests
at the point on Main street where the Bur-
lington's tracks cross, and the storm sew
ers have proved inadequate to carry 1t on.
This is to be remedied by the railroad COM
pany. which is planning to raise its pas
senger depot and make other improve
ments at this point.
The original ordinance granting the Bur-
lington a right-of-way on Eleventh avenue
provides only for the maintenance OF one
main track. but for many years past the
railroad has had two in operation over the
greater part OF the avenue. 1t now de-
sires to extend its second track clear to
the transfer depot, and for this reason the
ordinance has been introduced.
At different times IL has been suggested
thai the Burlington be required to main
tain crossing gates on Main street, the
same as the Northwestern has on Broad
way, but the aldermen will not at this
time insist on this. The committee OF
the whole yesterday on investigating this
matter decided that there was no actual
demand for the gates at this point, but 1t
is more than likely that before the ordi-
nance is passed the city council will re-
quire the Burlington to maintain a nag
man at the crossing at the Eleventh ave-
nue. and Sixth street crossing. This is con-
sidered to be the most dangerous crossing
in the city. as the large building OF the
Monarch Manufacturing company COM
pletely shuts of all view of the tracks and
trains approaching from the west. Several
accidents have been narrowly averted at
this crossing. and a few months ago a mail
wagon was struck by a mail train and the
two horses killed, while the driver had Q
narrow escape.
The committee OF the whole will meet
again this morning at 10 o'clock to formu-
late its report, which will be submitted al
the meeting Of the city Ouncil next Mon
day night.

LangdOn Likely TO Serve Time.
Harry Langdon has been committed to
the county Jail. having been bound over
to await the action Of the grand Jury by
Justice Pratt Of Crescent. His bail was
fixed at 5000. Langdon is charged with the
theft OF a sum Of money and jewelry.
Part OF the jewelry was found on him
when taken into custody. Young Langdon
was convicted in the district court with
Mike Smith of robbing a farmer named
Charles Taylor Of a watch and a consid-
cradle sum OF money, and was sentenced
to one year in the penitentiary. He was
not taken to Fort Madison, however, as
friends appealed to Governor Cummins and
secured a parole for him. Governor Cum
Minis has been notified Of his arrest and
II is expected that the parole will be with
drawn and the young fellow ordered taken
to the penitentiary to serve out his SEN
tence. Charles Langdon, Harry's brother,
who was arrested Thursday night for being
drunk, and who, while In a state OF In
toxication, tried to pass himself of as his
brother, was given a ten days sentence
on bread and water by Police Judge Scott
yesterday morning.

James A. Watt, a former member Of the
city police force, his commission being
made out yesterday. while that Of r. 8. Rob

be concurred in by the city council.
Mayor Morgan also has under considera-
ton the request Of the railroad to have
more Of its guards employed at the trans
fer appointed as special policemen.
II is understood that Andrew Traynor,
general baggage agent Of the Union Pa
cihe and superintendent Of the transfer
depot. called upon Chief Of Police Ttbbits
and made a request for police help In case
Of emergency. Chief Tibblts promised Mr.
Traynor that in the event Of a riot occur
ing at any time he would certainly detail
all the men available to quell 1t, but that
he would not permit the use OF the police
force as patgolmen about the roundhouse
and railroad yards unless trouble Of such a
serious nature ensued as to render such
service necessary for the protection Of the
city and the community in general.
Mayor Morgan, when asked yesterday
said he had appointed the special police
men at the request OF the Union Pacific
and that he did not see how he could &c
otherwise. He had at the request OF the
Retail Grocers' association appointed sev'
eral members OF the organization special
