WASHINGTON , August 12. [ Special Tele-gram to tlio BKK.I The report Is currenthero that Secretary .Manning will return tcthe treasury on the first ot October to resumethe duties of his ofllce. This report is basedupon the statement of his private secretarythat ho Is In very much better physical condi-tion than lie was when ho left WashingtonCor Virginia Springs. On the other hand ,

people who come directlv Irom Watch Hill ,

and who have seen 5tr. Manning , assert withiho utmost positivencss that he shows verylittle signs of recovery from the severe shockwhich prostuitcd him some time ago , andthat his ihost intimate'

, friends inWashington do not bclicvc'that there Is anypossibility of his returning to the duties' ofhis portfoltd , even for a brief time , as pre-dicted

¬

by Mime of the New York paperstiKlay. There Is every reason to believe thatTalreiiild , who ts nt present acting secretary ,will bo appointed to Manning's place , al-though

-

this action would hardly be In accord-ance with the desire or theWall street crowd ,

who are anxious to *ee a man with more of-

Manning's stuiiilna in the position'than Kalr-child possesses Fail-child is somewhattainted , they claim , with western ideas of-

afternoon. The meeting was for the pur-pose of effecting an organization amonjthe grocers and to take some steps tibrace up the badly abused "contract1system of handling goods. The "con-trncl" system among tiio jobbers is sim-ply a contract between the jobbnv nmthe manufacturer for a certain quantityof goods at a certain price , with a rebateThe jobbers in their competition amanxiety to sell goods lose highof thu rebate and give the retaithe grocer the boncllt of it. There hn-boflti for some time n tacit ngreemenamong the jobbers in reference to thisbut in quarters where competition i

lively tacit agreements go for naughtand the jobbers' interests are apt to suf-fer. . It was for the purpose of gettinjthe jobbers into the agreement in a monbinding form that ycstc-rday's mcctiiif-wns called.

a line upon any jobber who sells good's al-

a price which will cause them to sacri-fice their contract rebate.

The B. & St. and the Nail WorksRemoval.

For some time past there has been con-siderable talk on the street corners andin the hotel lobbies about the removal oithe nail works from this city and the B. S-

M. . railroad's efforts to have them locatedin Lincoln. Some of the daily papersIjftyftRlVQU'.p.u.b.licity to the matter, ami-.without'. investigation have taken thestatement of Mr. Walker , who of latehas had considerable to saj' about theaforesaid. Omaha industry , as true. HeroSs'a case where (lie cum grano sails pre-caution 'should piny n prominent part.-On

.

its very face the matter ap-peared .absurd , but nevertheless thereare many w.ho were not back-ward in. severely criticising the rail-road company especially as Omahuhas at all times been very friendly to itsinterests. A representative of tiie BEEmet a prominent oDieial of the B. & M ,

yesterday and interrogated him in thepremises. Ho said Mr. Walker nor anyono'clso had no authority for stating thatthe Said company had offeied any induce-ments to have the naif worksremoved from Omaha to Lin-coln

¬

or to any other place. Fur-thermore

¬

they had no occasion , nordid they intend to offer any inducementsfor the change talked of. In case theWorks were moved to any other place theB&M. would naturally prefer Jo liayothem near or 'on their line. Other thanthis there is no reason or excuse what-ever

¬

for Mr. Walker to mix tip the B. &M. in the matter.

Thomas and James Brcnnan , of theChicago police force , arrived in this cityyesterday and wore the gne.sts of CaptainO'Donoghue. They left on the eveningtrain for Grand Island , where they haveconsiderable real estate. They will stopIn Omaha on their way back and make nmore extended visit. The Messrs. Bren-nun were among .the police who had thamemorable contest with the ann.rchi.stsMay -1, 18SO. James Brunnan had histhumb nearly blown off and will carrythe mark of the bomb throwing as long as-ho' lives. Both gentlemen say the inci-

dents¬

of that turriblo evening cannot bo-

described. . Only those on tlio scene canappreciate the intensity of the excite ¬

ment. They say there is no doubt buteach and every anarchist now on trial isguilty of the crime charged and their de-

und if by some malicious travesty on jus-tice
