Another Chapter in the Oalebntfid Schurz-
Koblouz Damngo Case.
SENSATIONAL ALLEGATIONS NOW MADE ,
Indue Doomcr ItcndcrH n Number of
Important DcolsloiiH Tlireo
OlnlintuitH fi > r a Worthier
Grip Dny at Clmutatiiin.
As stated some tlmo ngo In Tun BBF , there
u to bo nnothcr chapter In tbo Schurz-Kob-
loiu trouble , consisting of a damage suit , nnd
tills chapter Is to bo elvcn to the public In
the courii\of a day or two In tbo shape of ft
liotlllon nojv being prepared' In the onleo of
Attorney Ware , who Is handling the case for
Koblenz. 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.
Schurz' bondsmen nro coupled with him as
dufcndants In the damage suit to tlio amount
of $ .200 , which Is one-sixth of the bond given
by him at the tlmo the writ of attachment
xvus Issued. The rest of the claim Is upon
Shurz himself.

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.

A foxy uioiiionts bofora 7 o'clock last even
ing Constable Charles Nicholson , Deputy
Marshal "Ueddy" Pultzaud Marshal Temple-
ton afforded entertainment for a" miscellan
eous audioiico of about two hundred people
and onoupu xvugons , carts and carriages to
block up Bryant street for half an hour In
trout of the city Jail. A battered old grip
was the hone of contention. It sat In the
street Immediately In front of the city jail.
Sitting astride ana holding ou with both
uanus , Constable Nicholson xvas en
deavoring to rotalu pomsilou ot it
Dnputy Marshal Pultz and Marshal Temple
ton had grim but determined sldo holds
and It was a matter of Intense satisfaction to
the crowd to watch the trial of strength ,
skill and endurance of the thrco claimants.
Nicholson linn the advantage , having twined
his arms , lops and body around the property
nnd could not bo dislodged. Whoa the In
terest of the croxvd was wrought up to the
highest pitch nnd it was two to one In favor
of Nick a temporary compromise xvas
nffcctcd nnd the grip with the thrco hands
still clutching It xvas taken Into tbo marshal's
ofllco , xvlicro Attorney Gcorgo Holmes had
been summoned to assist In settling the
dispute.
The grip was supposed to bo the property
of ono .fames Wheeler , a street cano fakir ,
who xvas arrested n few days ago. It xvas
supposed to contain some gambling tools , a
wheel , etc. Yesterday afternoon Prank Car
roll sued out a writ of replevin In Justloa
Hammer's court , claiming the grip xvns hfs
property nnd had been stolen from him In
Missouri Valley , The papcw wcro served
upon Tomplcton , but lie refused to obey the
order of the Justice court and relinquish
the property. Nicholson , In obodlonco to his
orders , seized It and had reached the street
when ho xvas compelled to como to n tetnpor-
nrv halt or carry the marshal and his deputy
off bodily.
The case bids fair to bo of some Importance
as defining the poxveri of the mawbal , nnd
the prerogatives of the justices' courts. It
has not been settled.

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.

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

Important Itallroad Invention.
IxniANAi'OLis , Ind. , July IB. What Is pro
nounced by leading railroad men the most
important invention during the last txvonty-
ilvo years applied to railroad business , was
exhibited for * the first tirao In Indianapolis
today. It is a car scale , and Is a simple plcco
of mechanism winch can bo attached to any
car , the weight of xvhich and its contents is
shoxvn xvith perfect accuracy. Thexvolcbing
of cars heretofore , .xvlicro given any attention
at all , has been chiclly a mutter of guessing
nnd the consequent leases ol the railroad com
panies from overloading have boon enormous.
By this uoxv Invention.Vhich Is controlled
by the Wunnmakcr car scale company , the
xxVighing device Is permanently attached to
the cur xvithout necessitating any change In
the present construction , and it requires but
u moment to ascertain Uio weight *

general passenger ugent of the Grout North

castic letter , In xvhlch he contrasts tbo
promptness xvith which the Western Pusson-
ior association granted reduced rates for the
Hall-PiUslminon light and the delay of the
association In grunting the application for re
duced rat-js for laborers to xx ork In the har

Mr. Whitney intimates that the roads in the

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.
