In the suit Air. nnd Mrs. J. H. Koblenz arc the plaintiffs und N. Schurz * Is inudo defendant. The amount claimed Is $10,000. The trouble' out of which the present suit grfnv took place lust winter when Schurz nlt.icliul the property of Koblenz , n tenant of his , for rent , which , according to the term of the lease , would not cotno duo for several months. A motion to quasli tbo attachment was made some tlnui ngo , on the ground that the household good ; worn not llnblo for rent not yet due , and this view of the case was sustained by Judge MeGoo , who charged up ttio costs of the attachment to Schurz Tlio attorneys for Schurz reopened the case on a motion to rotax the costs , which wnro a dollar or two too much , and by .so doing allowed Koblenz's attorney to lutro- iduuo a motion to tux up nn attorney's fee of $100 for himself. This motion was also sus tained , and in that wav the costs of the suit were Increased from ? ' . ) to $109. Since that time nothing has , been heard of the matter until now. In the present suit It Is alleged by the plaintiffs that Mrs. Koblenz nns oo fright ened by the serving of the attachment papers , that she loft the bouso and went the same mcht to the house of a friend in Omaha , taking nothing with her. A day or two later she gave birth to a dond child , and the nfll- davit of a physician Is nt hand to the effect that the death was duo to the fright she sus- taincit ttiat night. The llr-tt of the story as given in tno peti tion corresponds with the above account.

Judge Dcomer held a session of district court yesterday nt which ho transacted con siderable business. A number of decisions were rendered. Among tbo cases which bo decided were several In which Mrs. Salllo Stlllman was defendant , and which were brought for the purpose of foreclosing mo- chanici' Hens on a dwelling which Is now oc cupied by Mrs. Stlflman. The following nro the names of the plaintiffs in the suits : A. Hosonbtirg , A. C. Kurmond , Chicago lumber company , Woolsoy it Long , B. Urahl nntl Wickham Brothers. In each of the cases a decision was rendered against the defend ant for the amount of the claim , together With the costs. In the case of Peter Wind against John Wagoner ot nl. , a judgment was rendered for the plaintiff for 104. Mrs. Sarah D. Way , whoso suit for a divorce from her husband , J. L. Way , was tried a few days ago , was granted the divorce as , prayed. A decision was also rendered by Judge Thornoll in the almost famous case of Wood ward against Beach. This case Was tried at the January term of district court. It was brought to set aside tlio will irade by the old man Woodward shortly before his death , in which ho bequeathed all his property to Mrs. A. E. Beach , shutting his heirs , M. P. Woodward , D. T. Woodward , Perils W. Woodward , Calvin Woodward , Lorona Householder and William Woodward , out In the cold. It attracted considerable attention at the time of the trial , by reason of tbo raoy testimony which was Introduced by the attorneys for the plaintiff to show that s > omo of Mrs. Beach's actions toward the old man Lad been such as" to lead to the opinion that she was working him for his money. Judge Thorncll evidently was not impressed with this testimony as much as tlio court , room spectators wure ( for In his decision ho dismissed the petition of the p'minlltT and ordered the costs of the suit taxed up to the plalntltTs.

Tltm'IO ASSOCIATION AITAIltS. The fact that nothing xvas accomplished nt the meeting of the advisory board of the Western Trafllc association In Nexv York causes no surprise in railroad circles hero. The president's agreement , Is still looked upon as a makeshift to tide over a crisis In railroad affairs , nnd ns the crisis is supposed to bo virtually passed , it is believed that the orKimlzatlon xvill bo permitted to gradually sink out of sight. It Is suld Unit the disposition mndp of Jay Gould's pot scheme for the establishment of Joint agencies xvas premeditated. Those xvho xvoro opposed to the scheme did not xvnnt to uutngonizojQould openly and so hit upon the plan of postponing the consideration of it from tlmo to tlmo and thus defeating the pro ject without killing It suddenly. No doubt the secret of this opposition is a distrust of anything proposed by Gould. The recent rate cutting performance of the Missouri Pacillo has apparently convinced the managers of western roads that Gould Is looking after Gould's Interests exclu sively and they are prepared to bollovo that If joint agencies xvero established the wizard xvould 11 nil means to soon manipulate them so that Gould's Interests xvould bo taken care of at the cost of thosa of any other roads that might be in the xvay. Another reason given by many railroad men lor predicting the early downfall of the Western Tronic association is the failure of every effort to bring the Alton , the Chicago , St. Paul & Kansas City aud other important roads into the combine.

Tbo Illinois Central bus applied to Chairman Finley for relief because tbo Monon and Chicago. EvansvlKo < & Indianapolis have placed their tickets on sale in the Auditorium hotel.

Testimony on ( lie CJuostlou ofJuris- diction In Kast Omnhn. The contest between Douglas county , No- bnislta , and Pottnxvattntmo county , loxva , for possession and Jurisdiction ever a largo portion tion ot * xvhat Is uoxv known as Cast Omaha U ncnrlng a close. The taking of testimony to bo presented at the argument of the case before the supreme court , at xVnshlngton nt the' October term xvill bo commenced today before com missioners appointed by the suprono court. These * commissioners nro Hoxvard 11. Smith for Omaha and T. C. Daxvson for Council Bluffs. J. M. Wooixvorth and C. J. Clroen xvill look after Douglas county's interest In the case and Attorney General John Y. Stone and . ' . J. Stewart will perform the snino duty for the other side. The question Involved Is nn old ono but It Is ono xvhlch Is not Konornlly understood. In IWl the United States government surveyed loxx'a and established the western boundary of the state along the Missouri river. In 1S.W thn gox'etnnient surveyed Nebraska nnd located tbo eastern boundary of the state along the river , but during the llvo years xvhlch had in tervened the i Ivor had changed Us uouriio somoxvhut , so that the Nebraska line Inter sected the Iowa line nt n point east Of xvhat Is noxv Cut-Oil hike. Discussions ns to the jurisdiction of the txvo states over tbo small parcel of land bo- txvecn the Intersecting lines arose , and have been going on aver since. In the moantlmo the bed of the river kept changing until It had uddcd n largo slice of land to the Ne- br.iska sldo at ono point nnd another some xvhat smaller piece to Iowa at anotheV point. The latter parcel of land xvas that lying di rectly south of xvhat Is known as Cut-Oft luke , and the former xvas that lying botxvoen the river bed xvhero It Is noxv. cast of Kast Oinahn , and a line draxvn almost directly south from the cast end of the lake until it intersects the rivor. This xvas tbo situation In 1877 , and It xvai generally conceded that Cut-Off Island , as It xvas known , xvus In the Jurisdiction of loxva , nnd the land directly cast of It belonged to Nohrasua. During the high xvator of Ih77 , hoxvevor , the river liroko ttirough the narrow neck of land connecting "tho Island" xvith the Iowa shore and thus suddenly transferred a largo tract of laud to tbo Nebraska sldo of the river. The ( inestlon of Jurisdiction then assumed a more serious aspect , it being held bv many able people that the boundary line botxvccn the states changed xvlth the channel of the river , xvhllo ns able minus hold the opposite. As Improvements groxv on the disputed terri tory this question assumed a very Important phase and xvas taken into the courts for ad judication. It Is claimed by the representatives of the Nebraska side of the case that thu boundary line botxvcon the txvo st-Ue * , having been flxea by congress In the middle of the river , changed xvith the gradual change In thu channel , such us took place during the years previous to 1S77 , but did not chance xvltti the sudden breaking through of the river xvhlch occurcd durintr that year , hcnco the boun dary line is tield to bo In the middle of the channel of 1877 , before the cut-off. Thii xvould place the old Island under the Jurisdiction of loxva and xvould glvo Nebraska jurisdiction over the land xvhercon nro located the fac tories , etc. , lu East Omaha. The loxva sldo of the case , hoxvovor , holds that the changes between 1S51 and 1877 xvero sudden and considerable at times , so that the doctrine of accretion , or gradual change in the channel , does not apply. Therefore , the boundary line is located exactly xvboro It xvas originally established by the acts of congress creating loxva ana Nebraska. If this doctrine Is good , hoxvcvor , the com- mouwcalth of Nebraska xvill lose Jurisdiction ever Kast Omaha , but It will acquire Juris diction and control ever a largo tract of land along the river front on the Council Bluffs side , including both the Union Pacific and Douglas street bridges and a largo portion of the Iowa "bottoms. " It Is thought by people ple familiar with the matter that the loxva authorities will bo xvllling to concede their claim over Kast Omaha provided the claim of Nebrasua to tbo lands ou the bottoms Is not pushed.
