OVER THE BTATE.
A DASTARDLY OUTRAGE.
The news reaches us of an outrage perpe
trated on the person ol T. D. Cobbey , at
Wymore , last night , which threw the peace
ful and law-abiding citizens of AVymoreinto
a state of comincttion and indignation
againstMr. Cobbey's assailant. Some time
between the hours of two and three o'clock
this morning , Mr. Cobbey was aroused
from his sleep by a knock at his door. He
arose and reaching the door , a voice from
without informed him that he had been
sent from Beatrice with a bundle which he
was requested to deliver to Mr. Cobbey.
Suspecting nothing. Mr. Cobbey answered
the summons by opening tho door , but in-
, stead of receiving a bundle , he heard a
"sish , " as of rushing water , and the next
moment was aware that he was the victim
of a foul conspiracy , and trickling down the
the right side of his head back of his Air ,
cour-sed tho vile stuff with which the assail
ant had hoped he would be disfigured for
life. It so happened that the position in
which Mr. Cobbey was standing at the mo
ment allowed the top of his head instead of
his face to receive the contents of thesyringe
or whatever was used to throw it nt him.
As soon as possible after the onslaught
tho door was closed and Mrs. Cobby an
swered her husband's call. Prompt action
in the way of supplying oils to counteract
the acid rendered Mr. Cobbey comparatively
free from pain and saved him from a fear
ful disfiguration.
The liquid used was a powerful acid of
some kind perhaps" vitrol. There was a
great amount of it and was sent with such
force that the wall on the opposite side of
the room was spattered , while the carpet
the full length of the room was dotted
over. So powerful was the acid that the
paint and varnish on the door where the
stuff struck it , has all come off.
Mr. Cobbey was not able to pursue his
assailant and as he had no chance to g-t a
view of him , there is very little prospect of
being able to apprehend the villain.
No explanation can be given for the
assault. Me. Cobbey had not been warned
and knew of no enemies that would resort
to such low-down work to wreak vengeance
upon him. .
The person that will do such a thing is
the meanest of the mean. To assault a
man in the dark is the' ba.sest kind ol
treachery and there is scarcely a known
punishment fit for the crime , and it is to
be hoped a speedy bringing of the culprit to
justice will be accomplished. [ Beatrice

THATSORTHirEST ROAD AGAIN. .
Since Freight Commissioner Griffitts re
turned from the east , he seems more con
fident than ever that the projected Omaha
& Northwestern railroad will be built ; also
that it will be built by-Omaha capital and
controlled by Omaha men. The particulat
reason for his increased assurance could not
be ascertained , but it is to be presumed he
saw somebody somewhere who talked busi
ness. That very muchly desired informa
tion Mr. Griffitts refuses to impart. He
eimply said when asked : "You wait until
this election excitement dies down and we
will show the people of this city a reaction
on the jail road question more surprising
'that might be imagined. The capitalists ,
small merchants and jobbers who have been
holding back are coming forward now and
talking stronger than ever of the great
necessity felt by Omaha for such a railroad
as the ono proposed. They all recognize
now that it was a serious mistake to pbst-
pone the mass meeting that was called to
take place at Boyd's opera house on
Thursday afternoon , two weeks ago. Mr.
Griffitts had sent out 2,200 invitations to
business men , and fully 1,000 of those
would have been answered in person by
men receiving them. South Omaha ex
pected to turn out in a body and give the
enterprise a boom , by hiring a special train
and making the air resound with holiday
merriment. To get up another meeting all
that work will have to be repeated , and
after being disappointed once , many ol
those who felt interested before sufficiently
to take an afternoon off and attend the
meeting will not feel quite so enthusiastic
again. Mr. Griffitts has studied out a route
for the road that pleases all who are inter
ested , and if found to be practicable when
surveyed , the probabilities are it will be
selected. The red line , drawn on a state
map by Mr. Griffits , indicating his ideas ,
starts at the north side of Omaha and runs
a little north of west , crosses the Elkliorn
& Fremont Valley ten or twelve miles north
of Fremont , and then strikes almost an air
line direction westward midway between
the Union Pacific' and the Elkhorn Valley
roads. For about 200 miles it is a thickly
settled and well-improved country , produc
ing immense crops of grain and thousands
of head of cattle aud hogs. At Madison a
branch line could be started and built
southwest throughout another rich section
of the state , that has no railroad but
wants one very badly. Another branch
could also be built from Madison north
into Dakota while the main line might be
pushed on into the rapidly developing sec
tions of northwestern Nebraska and the
Black Hills country. FOmaha Republican.

secured his former seat. Ab South Bend he
was a second time removed by the train

The excavation in which these things were
found was about seventy-five feet across

GLADSTONE'S JtlZttl'OXSE.
London special : Mr. Gladstone , writing
to the editor of Blackuood's Magazine ,
thanking him for an advance proof of Lord
Bradbourne's lejoinder to his ( Glad
stone's ) reply to his lordship's article on
"Facts and Fictions of Irish History , "
says : "My advice to Lord Bradburne is
that he become acquainted with the views
and contentions of his opponents. He
seems not to be aware that Dean Swift as
serted the historical dependence of the
crown , while the independence of the Eng
lish parliament he strongly denied. "
Mr. Gladstone challenges Lord Brad-
bourne to refute Butte's assertion regard
ing the Grattan parliament , and also to
disprove the statements in the memoir of
David O'Connell published in 1843 , show
ing that the relations between England and
Ireland had been , and were still disgraced
by more cruelty and fraud than those of
any nation in Christendom.

BIG STRIKE CO3O1TG.

Trouble Among tlte factor * in tht ft
City. " ftV
Chicago special : Nob a packer at the V ?
yards bought hogs this morning. Tbisja T
most significant that the affairs at the
stock yards are shaping theniselyes for I
another strike there , a general strike which
will involve everybody the hog houses a
well as the cattle. Swift's men and Nelson
Morris' are out to-day , while others are'at P i
work , but the packers thia morning for i
some reason or ofher from Armour down
are preparing lor another great fight over
the eight-hour question. AVork at the-
houscs to-day is in the way of clearing np-
the carcasses on hand. One packer a big-
one said this morning that the chances-
are about 90 in 100 that the fight of two-
weeks ago will have to be had right over
again. This time it will be settled forgood. a
The packers are evidently in possession of
secret information. The committee ot
eighteen appointed at the butchers' meet
ing yesterday afternoon represents not only
the beef men. but every branch of industry
as the stuck yards. This is perhaps one of
the reasons why the packers are so active-
getting into shape for another strike. Then 1
it is known that the committee's plana i
have leaked out. At any rate , by soraer i
process the packers feel they are thorough
ly informed of the men's plans , and that
they ci.nnot be surprised. If the strike oc
curs to-morrow , as is expected , guards will
be marched at once to the houses as before. , t
The big strike is on at St. Louis , at AVhit- *
taker's pork-pncking establishment , over : i
the ten-hour question. The strike there
will help the packers here , for AVhittaker is
an active and sharp competitor of Chicago ,
and packets here would rather have him
closed with them than running while they
are closed. There were numerous consul
tations at different down-town packers'
offices to-day , and one after another they
dropped into Armour's office. The same
committee will have charge of the packers *
interests. In case trouble docs come to- -
morrow the packershave resolved to stand
by Swift and Morris in their trouble just as
they stood by each otherin their recent diffi-
ciilt.y and they will fight the thing through
ori that line. Swift had his fires lighted this-
morning , but his men did not return to
woik. In the board of trade itisundsr-
etood there will be no effect to coax tho-
men back , and tho packers are quite will
ing to let the question come to an issue and
settle it finally and for all time. They say
they will never yield , even if the men force-
them to suspend now. The following wa
promulgated as the result of the conference- I. .
between tho proprietors of the packing :
houses belonging to the association , which
took place this morning :
At a meeting of the packers' association ,
held this day , it was unanimously resolved
that they would control their business and
that they will protect their own property
at any and all costs , and they will run.
their houses on the Jen hours basis. It
was further resolved that the executive-
committee be continued in office with au
thority to employ any protection deemed
necessary
ATLANTIC COAST S
One Hundred Tltoinund Acre'of flood Land
'lluit Can be Jteclrtiined. ,
AArashington special : Major Powell , th&
director of the geological survey , in his an
nual report describes briefly the progress
which has been made in different branches
of work subordinated to thegoological sur
vey. During the past year 81,829 square
miles in twenty states and territories have
been surveyed. The experience of the sur
vey has brought map-making up to a high
ly-developed art , and therefore the maps
of survey are so great that it may be ad
visable to ask authority of congress for
their "general distribution. Of scientific
studies in the swamp lands and marshes
of the Atlantic coast. Major Powell says
there are probably 100,000 square miles
of coast lands valueless in their present
condition because of inundation by tidal
and fluvial waves. These lands might bo-
reclaimed and rendered the most valuable
of agricultural lands in this country , but
tlie relative altitudes of land and sea are-
not constant. In some places the ocean is
encroaching upon the land , and in others
the land is emereing from beneath the
water , so he tin iks it would be unwise to
inaugurate expensive systems of reclaima-
tion of inundated lands , without first as
certaining whether these lands belong to
the undering movement , and in order to
guide engineering operations directed to
such reclamation a general investigation
of the changes in progress along the Atlan-
tio aotuih Um been undertaken.
