The commissioners of labor are anxious to enter into correspondence with all nartioi in Nebraska owning quarries of cement rock. A syndicate from Now York stands ready to negotiate with nil such parties with a view to the establishment of cement factories. Two such quarries are known to exist in Nobraskii , one at Beatrice and one at Sidney. The Beatrice quarry w. s at one lime oper ated , but the high prico'of coal ami the rates of transportation prevented the profitable manufacture at the time. Commissioners Luddcn ano Downs have taken nn active interest in the matter and It is piobablo that the manufacture of cement at Beatrice will bo resumed under the mo t favorable aus pices. Thu railroad companies have already agreed to establish commodity rates on the manufactured product , nnd arrangements have been perfected for bringing In steam coal nt a moU reasonable rate.

Coy has discovered that the way through tbo divorce court , like the celebrated highway to Jordan , is a rocky road to travel. Some time ago ho Illnil u petition for u di vorce from his wife Anna F. on the grounds of unfaithfulness. This afternoon Auna tiled a cross-petition in which she shows up the past conduct of her erstwhile lord and master in a most unenviable light. She aavs that he lias neglected to provide for her "and that she has been compelled te take in washing in enter to feed and clothe herself nnd child , while all the time Coy was earning a good salary. Shu further alleges that ho has en gaged In iho most disguitlng Intrigues wltb other women and that ho has constantly an noyed her by tolling her about it. Slid denies all of the charges nmdo In his original peti tion nnd winds up by asking for a reasonable alimony und the custody of their child. ItcMilt til * n I'anlo In a Cliuroli. Buck loldor and George Mantoy , the two colored youths who dispersed a whole con gregation lust evening and engaged In n row that led to a greater or loss amount of blood shed , were in court touav.

Blio ObjcutH to Having Olllucrs Upon tlor Imvo Letters. D. R. Long of Fremont believes that ho has a grievance that should bo righted by the United States court. He has consulted Attorney Btiltor about the matter and tils grievance will bo laid before the United States grand Jury. Mr. Long claims that his family hai boon drugged before the public In u disgraceful manner by the publication of the fact that his daughter corresponded with Sloan , the Foiitunolle murderer now In jail at Blair. Sloan's biding place In Imv.i WHS said to have been discovered bv the interception of a letter which ho hint wrltto.i to Miss Long. The girl's father now doilros to have Josh King and other ivirilos , who are supposed to have opened the letter , prosecuted. United Stales Attorney linker assured Mr. Long thai If the grand jury should return bill of Indictment against King or anybody else for tampering with. Miss Long's letter before It had been taken * ' < t of the poatoulco ho .would prosecute with all his cnorgy , but ho doubtca Tory much whether the grand Jury would consider the caiosnrloU5 enough to Juttif ; the finding of nn Indictment. The fact that a murderer had bean caught by the Intercepting of the letter , bo bollov'cd , would go a long ways toward mitigating the oflonso of meddling with the tnilli. Mr. Dakar said ho would nw.ilt the action of the grand Jury. Ho would not take the responsibility nf ordering nn arrest , for in his estimation a conviction would bo very hard to obtain in such a case. oil\i ) nn MIT KM. M "Jor Kiirny'n Dellctitrul ICxpcrlcnoo With tlio Klre and Police Commission. All of the members of the Board of Publlo Works attended the meeting hold yesterday afternoon. Major Furay who , ns a committee of one , had boon before the Fire and Pollco com mission , was ready with his report. Ho pre sented himself for the purpose of asking the co-operation of that body in nn cllort to com pel grading contractors to use tlgbi boxes wliou hauling dirt over paved streets. The major said that ho had boon received very klnaly , In fact ho had been received in such n manner that ho was fully convinced that the members of the Fire and Pollco com mission were without spot or blomlsh there were no crnws' nests lingering about tholr persons , and in their own estimation they were as fine-haired eonttomen as lie had soon for many a long dar. Ho felt happy in Knowing that ho got away with his life , at ho was sat upon by sovor.il members. The high toned Cody had attached all of the blame to the Boird of Public Works. The major had denied this In emphatic terms , whereupon Mr. Hurtman had said that the contractor had left Farnnm street , atj.Iliirt.v- thlrd , In such it condition that iho street rail way company had been compelled to put on a force of men with picks nnd shovels In order to clear the street for the passage of its cars. To this Major Furay had replied that In all such cases estimates had been withheld until the streets had been cleared. To make a long story short , ho had received no encouragement. Ho thought the fault lay tn the Police department. Cnlef Scavoy hud lold him that men had boon arrested for violating lating the dirt hauling ordinance , but when they got into police court the cases had al ways boon dismissed. Engineer Tilhon thought the ordinance was good enough if enforced. "That's It , " replied Major Furay , "we've got the ordinance , but wo lack a police court , and I want to tell you that in any well regu lated city one-half of tjio men who are now hauling dirt from the now postofllco block would bo arrested and fined. They use wagons with loose bottoms and the streets over which they pass aie nothing but a sou of mud. " The major was commended for the sbo.v- ing that ho made before the commissioners and also for retreating In such splendid order. The board had aslicd for proposals for curbing Twenty-second street from Popple- ton avenue to the south line of the govern ment corral , but there wore no bids. The contract for constructing the sewer in Sprague street from Twenty-fourth to Thir tieth street , was awarded to Ilamann & Mc- Dotmld at ! > , ' ! cents for eight-Inch pipe , ? 3.75 for manholes and $3 for Hush tanks.

Colonel Hughes will Join his wife and daughter , who have been in Italy for nearly tnreo years. They will sponil the winter tn southern Europe. A very inter esting matrimonial event is expected soon after Colonel Hughes arrives In Florence. Miss Elsie Beaten Hughes , the colonel's daughter , will bo united In inar- liaco with Captain G. F. Nowport-Tinloy of the First Bombay lancers ( "Duke of Con- nautrht's Own" ) . Captain Tinlev is a son of Major General Robert Nowport-Tinloy of the British nrrny. Both families are dis tinguished. Miss Hughes Is a great-grand daughter of Colonel Thomas H. Bentou of the United States. She is highly ar-com- pllshcd nnd very beautiful. The approach ing wedding is creating a pleasant ripple of excitement in army circles Major Emil Adam of the Sixth cavalry has boon removed from Fort Niobrura to Fort \\asliakio. Major Edgar U. Kellogg of the Eighth in fantry has been relieved from duty nt Fort \Vashakio nnd will proceed to Fort McKm- ney and take station nt that post. It will bo remembered that Major Kellogg is the odlcor who preferred charges against Captain Hay and ordered him arrested. Tho" fact that Captain Itny was released from arrest by command of General Brooke and Major Kel logg Is now transferred to another post may bo read pretty clearly as being In Captain Uay's favor by these familiar with army dis cipline.

TIio Strain Abroad Cause * Homo Anxl * oty Conllileiiua Displayed In All ISrnnclics of Trade Money CollcotloiiH Knlr. NEW YOIIIT , Nov. 27. R. O. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says : A wcok broken by a holiday has shown the usual characteristics \voak speculation , no tivo retail niul motlorato wholoialo buslnojs. Ilut the great factors which go to tnaiio national prosperity are unaltered. At Boston the markets are stonily. At Hartford it is dull for dry poods and material * , but good for groceries and hardware. At Philadelphia tboro is a moderate activity la dry goods and in dress goods and hosiery , aud a bolter fool- ing prevails , At Plttsburg pig Iron is wo.ikcr , but manufactured iron and steel are In good demand unit the glass tratio fair. At Cleve land tradu 11 good in all lines , executing a a loss uomand for manufactured Iron. At Detroit business Is equal to last yojr's and and manufacturers are active. At Cincin nati rctnll tradois improvingaud manufactur ers are fairly employed. At Cliloago some decrease - crease Is seen In cured moats , lard , butter and chcojo , but tlioro Is a alight increase in bar- lov , ' , ' 0 per cent In Hour , the week's trade being the largest of the year , an increase of a third in cattlu and oats , of a half in hides , and receipts of dressed beef and corn urn double lust year's , and of rye and wheat tbroo times last year's. Merchandise sales also largely exceed those of last year and prosnects uro fuvoraole. There is the same conlldenco In St. Paul , us cold woathorstimu- latus trade , and Minneapolis sawmills have cloiud the largest reason on record , while Hour mills , though troubled by Ice , turn out J-'S.OOU barmls dully. At Milwaukee trade is satisfactory , but larger with the west , whore crops and tnonoy are plenty. At Kansas City there Is healthy activity , and cattle audgrain receipts improve. At "Denver trade li very good , but at Salt Lake it Is dull , with slow collections. Southern cities report better ; at Nashville and Montgomery , fair trade ; at Charleston , good , with improving exports ; nt New Orleans , receipts of cotton ana sugar are large anil both in good demand , and Sa vannah alone reports present trade light and money no easier , but orosnocts bright. Speculation during the past week hus not DOC 11 active hero , but a corner at Chicago has put up corn for Immediate delivery ! ! c and pork Is 'Joe higher ; onts l ! c , and wheat flva- olghts of a cent per bushel higher , while cot ton anil sugar are verv heavy. The receipts of cotton exceed those of the same week last year by 50,000 , and exports by Itt.OlM bales , but the stock In the country at the times Is mote than 8.000,000 bushels for the full week and exports have been 1,300,000 bushels of wheat nlano from Atlantic ports for three days of the present week. Corn Is coming forward fairly and after November a sharp decline in price Is oxpoctod. Cil nnd coffee show no considerable change. The volume of speculation in most Hues is fortunalolv so restricted that legitimate busi ness and tbo movement of products are not at present classed. In the great industries tbo outlook is im proved. There is a better demand for Iron. On the whole there ore evidences of enor mous consumption already , nearly equal to the production , with prospects of an Increase next year. Tno market for copper is unset tled , tin is slightly higher , lead unchanged and coal dull , wittt a50,000 tons allotted for Doconioer. Tbo market for woolen goods distinctly improves with colder weather , though some holders make light concessions on old stocks. Cotton goods are fairly active , though print cloths accumulate. Money is comparatively easy and collec- ticns fair. The exports of products In four weolcs at Now York have exceeded last year's by $7J(51,4S3 ( in value , Indicating an aggregate for the month probably exceeding 95,000,000 , nnd nt the same time there is a decrease of 10 par cent ir. the value of imports. There is certain to ho very largo balances payable on merchan dise account by Europe , and much anxiety appears In some quarters as to how tlie strain abroad will bo met , but thus fur there are no signs of trouble except in speculative quarters. It is to bo remembered also that this county- is at present unusually independent of for eign disasters or disturbances. The business failures occurring through out the country during the last seven days numbered 20. ) , as compared with a total of ! 2So last week.

Indeed I urci > o took a compar atively limited part in this market , and on the whole sold as much as It bought. Some unfavorable comment is aroused by the oDstliiato tlrumcas ot uxcuango rates auu the practical conation lof gold Imports. The general totidonuy of tl o mutKot has boon in the direction of improvement. It cannot bo sntd that the bullishness ii of an aggrcsslvo kind.

Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is a pure cream of tartar powder free from every taint of ammonia , alum or other harmful substance Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia , Alum , or auy other adulterant.

Question of tbo Indinns' ' Eights'as Oitizsiu Eugrenlers nu Election Contest , JUDGE CRAWFORD AFTER JUDGE-MORRIS. Points onVhloli the Kleetion in tlio ICi < ; litli Juiliuial District is Sup posed to Millie Was Gjrry- iiiiunlorcd. Hon. W. F. Norrls of Poncn , jmlfjo of the Eighth judicial district , Is in the city aiiU stopping at , tlio Millard. TUo Judge was u candidate for ro-eicction on the republican and independent tickets , and the ofllclal returns give him n majority ofSlivotcn. His oluction Is to be contested , however , by the democratic candidate , Judge J. C. Caawford of West Point. "I have bad no olllcial notice of n contest , " said Judge Nonis , when allied about the matter , "nor huvo I been served with a copy of a complaint , but I have boon told that contest - test proceodines have boon begun , and presume - sumo that iho report is correct. My only knowledge of the questions raised by Judge Crawford comes from hearsay. I am told that ho will raise the point that the Winnobag-o Indians on tlio reservation in Thurston county are not qualillod to vole. The Dawos bill , under which they were sup posed to Imvo Ruined citizenship , provides , ns. precedent thereto , that 'they must sever their trlb.il relations and take lands in sever ally. ' The Ornnhas have taken tholr allot ments of land and received patents therefor. I understand that the Winiiobapoes have met nil the conditions of the Dawos bill , but lor some unuxnlained reason have not received patents for tlioirlnnds They had been vot- ini ; without question previous to the rccont election , und 1 have hud some of them serv ing on my juries. The Winnobagoos have about HOU votes and they irnvo mo a majority of sixty-nine , so that If their entire vote bo thrown out I will still have a majority in the district. "I am also tola that Judge Crawford will sot up a number ot technical irregularities. In Dlxon county my name was printed on the ballots in two places , once as a republican nnd on co as an independent candidate. On some of the ballots a cross wus marked opposilo inv name in both places , nnd Jndgo Crawford will hold that such votes should not bo counted for mo. Then , ngaln , on sorao bal lots my noino was printed 'William P. Norris - ris , ' and on others 'W. F. Norns. ' "Tho contest , if there bo any , will como up in the supreme court of the stato. That body has hold that an Indian has no prltna ficio riglit to vote. In Iho WHO of the Winno- Dagoes , therefore , the bunion of proof will fall upon mo. I will have to show that they have compiled with the congressional act nnd are full-Hedged clti/.ons. " This Is tho. sncond time that judge Norrts has defeated Judge Crawford. At the last session of the legislature the democrats suc ceeded in having the district cerrynmudei'cd , nnd tlio frequent presence of .ludL'o Craw ford in Lincoln during that session is com mented on as signlflcant. Wnyno county , which is naturally a republican stronghold , was taken from the district , which now cir cles around that county something in the shape of an irregular horseshoe. A Narrow ICHcnpe.
