[ Special to THE Bnn.J From developments In railroad clr- clo.s today It looks very much as If the long fttnndlng query , "Whore will the Hock Is land depot bo located 1" Is In n fair way to bo answered , aud that It will bo imsworod In favor of the east side. Tod.iy Judge Stew art , upon application of the Hock Island of ficials , appointed appraisers to condemn the right of way. The gentlemen appointed nro O. W. Mosloy , L , Hclnior , C. W. Pierce and S. W. Boardiloy. They nt once sot to work , commencing at n point on the south side of the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Vallo.v railroad. The route they nro to go over is from the above point from Twenty-seventh to Eighteenth street , thence south to Vine street , then on the wait side of Eighteenth street through what Is known ns the Mo- Alurtry tract to the corner of H and Eigh teenth streets. Hero the route stops for the present. Ills pointed out that the grounds in the viclnlly of Eighteenth and H streets are ad- mlrablv adapted lor extensive switching and froicht yards. The McMurtry tract referred to contains about oigntcon acres , and tbo BtrcotB loading from the ground to the busi ness portion of the city nro already paved. Of course it cannot yet bo definitely an nounced that the freight depot r.nd yards will bo located at this point , but Indications point strongly to such a conjecture. Hauler's Itoply In Wvlil' Hilton , Judge Hamor comes back at Webster Edlon today In a manner well calculated to make that gentleman regret that ho had ever coma into court. Headers of Tin : Bin : will recall HP item In those columns a week or ten days ago to the olfeet that Mr. Eaton , who had signed Judge Humor's bond in a contest case before the supreme court , had requested the honorable court to relieve him from the responsibilities of n bondsman. In his petition Mr. Eaton alleged a great many unsavory and unpleasant things about Judge Humor and wound up by stating under oath that ho considered the Judge wholly Insolvent nnd unable to discharge nn honest obligation. In his answer Died today Judge Ilamcr re plies to each and every one of Mr. Eaton's lurid allegations and closes by endorsing that gentleman's petition to bo released. He stated Mr. Eaton's mercurial character and well known unreliability made him unde sirable as n bondsman. Ho presented the names of Hlco Eaton , John Nutcher , T. N. Cutting nnd E. W. Wooloy ns sureties to take the place on his bond made vacant by Webster Eaton's ' withdrawal. l'rofi'sslouil : r.urKliirs ut Work. Lincoln was evidently visited by n gang of professional burglars last night. The resi dence of M. L. Trestur , the lumber nnd coal merchant ut the corner of Twenty-sixth and Y streets , was entered some time during last night , ingress being secured through a door which had been carefully locked nnd the key left In the lock on the outside. 1'ho bouso was ransacked nnd about $100 worth of Jew elry carried away. The Jewelry consisted of watene.s , brooches and rings , some of thorn being prized for more than their intrinsic- value. The family slept through the niirht in blissful ignorance of the fact that their house bad been turned Inside out. The losldonco of Hov. L. W. Terry , pastor nf'tho East Lincoln Baptist church , wus also burglarized during the night. The front door had evidently boon unlocked by a skele ton key , ns there was no other evidence that the lock had boon tampered with. Here the thieves fcocurod a watch and chain and other articles of Jewelry , a fur trimmed overcoat and a poeketbook with about 10 in it. Itoins IVoin the I'dllco llovkut. Judeo Houston was at his old desk in police court tills mornlnc uftor an absence of nearly four months. Charlie Wilson was up on n charge of visiting a house of prostitution. Last night when the ofllcors swooped down upon him ho Jumped through a window nnd effected n temporary escape. He was tracked In the snow , however , and soon recaptured. The woman found with him was also brought to the station , but this morning both protested their innocence so stroncly ana gnvo such plausible reasons for being found together tlmt the Judge postponed tholr trial pending further investigation. Walter Clark and Frank Smith had n pre liminary hearing on the ehargo of grund lar ceny. The evidence pointed strongly to their guilt and they were bound over to the district court in the sum of,000 each. They are the clothing thieves mor.tiouod in thcs'e columns yesterday. O'Connor and Cox. the two festive gentle men charuod with highway robbery , wore released for want of prosecution. Stella Broxvn , Carrie Slbloy nnd Clara Palmer , three giddy residents of the Hutch- ins block , put up $14,20 each. Frank Powers was found with an nxo in his possession that didn't belong to him. This fact cost him ? ( J.80 uud twenty days in Jail.Two Two nlain drunks nnd a vagrant completed the dally grind. Moro Corn for Hungry Itnsslu. The ccuorous people of Nebraska are fully nwako to the distress of the drouth stricken provinces of Hilssln and a flood of letters is pouring in on Commissioner Ludden , who has charge of the relief work. Most of the letters ask for shipping instructions , and there is no doubt from the tenor of the com- niunti-atloMS that Nebraska's train load of corn will soon bo ready. Ono of the letters received today Is a curiosity. It Is written' by the secretary of a county alliance out In the utnto who Is ovldontlysusplcious that tbo whole matter is a scheme on tbo part of Bompono to irathor a lot of corn nnd soil it after it roaches Utissin , If satlfillcd that the railroads and steamship lines will haul tbo corn free , and that It won't bo sold to the Husslans instead of given to them , ho prom ises to use his Inlluouco to collect a car load ol corn.

CHICAGO BuitrjAi ) OP TIIR BIB : , 1 Ciiio.vdo , Ii.i. . , Jan. 5. ) There is a sham break In the Interest rates at the Chicago banks. For n long time tbo rates have boon hold up to 0 per cent with great firmness , in spite of statements snow ing unusually heavy surplusaes and light demand. The rates broke yesterday , how ever , and several institutions freely lot out funds on call at 5 per cent. The banks around the board of trade have bad the best demand , and thev still protest that they have no money to loan below 0 percent , but there was considerable money borrowed on Dearborn street ut 5 per cent , aud there is much more of it to bo Had. Kcun Mark III lluhlur.sn. S. A. Kean is once more a full fledged bond dealer. His circular No. 4 , under date of December ! iO. is out and contains u list of bmids amountlnc to $1,000,000. Ono para graph in the circular is interesting : "Mu tual arrangements will bo made with dealers in securities us to commissions. This \\i\\ \ \ also include authorities and others who have securities to negotiate. " Victim of u rirmllHh Crime. With her life in the balance , her face bruised and battered almost beyond recog nition nnd her breast and shoulders covered with blaek marks of brutal heels , beautiful little Louise ilagcu lies in her bed at 414 Washington boulevard , the victim of ono of the most dr.rmg and dastardly outrages ever committed in Chicago. As she was pass ing nu alley on West Madison street near her homo some unknown man stunned her with an iron wrench , dragged her into nu alloy nnd stamped upon her until she was almost insensible. Ho was frichtoned by a passerby nnd escaped. The scene of the crime is n very public place and there nro many oloetric lights in the vicinity. Dumocrutlc Politicians In u Hroll. Certain Springfield politicians favor the commencement of a movement nt once to organize the state in the interest of Gen eral Palmer and prepare to give him a pocket delegation. Many of the general's best friends are opposed to this course. They think it the part of wisdom to nwnlt develop ments. General Palmer himself would not favor a movement to force his candi dacy , and it is certain ho dooa not want n pocket delegation. Illinois politicians are very much interested in the question as to whether Morrison will succeed himself on Interstate Commerce commission. It is be lieved that if ho should not bo rcappolnted ho would return to Illinois and immediately proceed to horn up the political earth like an enraged Texas steer. This possibility has given democrats a good deal of alarm. They rcaltzo that if Morrison gets a black eye in his effort to secure rcaDpoIntment he will nscrlbo 'it to the inllueueo o ( Springer and Palmir. Mor risen belongs to the old virile , whisky drink ing democracy. To have a light with Morri son in Illinois in their effort to nominate Palmer , would bo to involve the Illinois sena tor in n light with all the Mills following. That would bo the end of the Palmer pres idential movement. Morrison is himself ambitious to secure the nomination for presi dent , but the northern portion of the state is solidly against him. He Is almost without n following in Chicago. His political methods , it is said , are too honest for some Cook county politicians. In central Illinois the Springer-Palmer influence predominates. In southern Illinois ho has a small following which. ' however , would beef of little effect against the remainder of tbo stato. It is assorted by prominent democrats of Illinois that If the ro.it of the country of fered to nominate Morrison lor either presi dent or vice president the democratic leaders of Illinois would not give htm the Illinois delegates. Another AVorld's FullS Another of those squalls which seems to periodically sweep over the world's exposi tion management appears to bo brewing now over the question of who shall Install n cer tain class of World's Fair exhibits. There is an impending eiash of authority between the agents of the national commission on one hand and President Baker nnd Chief of Con struction Burnham nn the other. It is the same old story as to who shall run the fair , and it Is presumed will end In peace , ns all ether previous differences of iilii ) character have terminated. Franco has applied for about 82,000 square foot of wall spaed in the line arts building. M.

Sorao magnificent specimens of horseflesh were In the stnlU , nnd buyow were on Imnd from almost every purl of the country. The bidding wns lively , the sale ? brislf , and ovot j thing on hand wns bought. Above all , both sellers and purchasers were sntlillod with the prices. Some of the sellers de clared that the prices were far hotter than those at Chicago , while on the ether hand the professional purchasers declared that they saw n chance to make money by buying at the Omaha market. O. W. iforrlck and G. H. Olson , both of Valparaiso , Ind. , bought tivo splendid speci mens of horseflesh for only ? 500. They ex pect to double their money. J. J. Elln of Shelblna , Mo. , bought thir teen horses , paying therefor an average of John Lanum of Palmyra brought In fifteen head of horses , peed chunks , coaches and drafts , and was delighted to llnd every one sold at a good price. Mr. Lancm has great faith In the future of tha horse market. Mr. T. C. Fisher of Wood Ulver has brought In a carload of western mares for private sale. Serf Levy of Chicago , a bright nnd Inter esting business mt.ii , Bought twenty head of horses.

He Tours Out a Volumu of InillKii'.iut I'col- IIIR on Mr. McMillan. The rumored injunction against the city council to deter that body from issuing the monthly warrants to the Standard Asphalt company for paving Twenty-fourth street is still the topic of conversation among busi ness men , but the question is "almost in variably usked : What does nil this agita tion mean ( The paving of nil ether streets in the city has been invariably paid for by the persons owning property abutting on the street paved. What occasion is there for ox pooling an exception in this case } " A number of cltizona , among them councilmen - cilmen , were seen nnd questioned in regard to the matter , but the opinions of most of them were comprehended in a tallc by Mayor Sloauo. Ho said : "According to nil precedents the payment for paving is made by the persons owning property abutting on the street or streets paved. That is the only fair way , as. such a magnificent improvement increases the value of the property a good jnany dollars' worth more than tha cost of the pavement nnd should bo paid by them. It is silliness to spread a report to the contrary. I know the animus of this whole affair. It is not in the interests of the city , but instead is prompted by a selllsh , revengeful spirit. The fellow at the bottom of it is named McMillan. I will nmko him a present of $51) for every lot that he proves that tie owns In his own name. This follow was working for the Harbor Asohalt comnanv. and because the California company got tlio contract Mc Millan is raising all this disturbance. "There is no occasion for an injunction. The property owners on Iwonty-fourth street will pay the coH of pavinir the street. The California company has , as near as I can leurn , been doing good \voik. It can't ' afford to do otliorxviso , as it has put on its armor to light the Barber asphalt monopoly , and n good pavement put down in South Omaha would Do a splendid advertisement for it everywhere in the central west. Further more , the company has employed South Omaha lanor almost exclusively , while Hugh Murphy and other persons doing work here have imported tboir labor hero and not a dollar was spent in the city even , in buying meals. "Tho California company attempted oven tn use South Omaha sand , but it cost $10,000 and proved a failure. All that pavement had to bo replaced. . "There have bo ° n a good many defective spots in the new pavement that escaped the eyes of our inspectors , but the' keen eyes of the Stradnmant superintendent discerned them and they were replaced with good material. As mayor and citizen I Um anxious to see the best interests of the city' looked uftor uiul not encourage any fooling for or agalust any particular corporation. " I'j'ii Trulir.

I3oo building Miss Pauline Hall and her comlo opera company will present Offenbach's melodious opera , "Madame Favart , " at Boyd's theater on Thursday and Friday evenings , nnd Saturday matinee. The costumes are appro priate , -varied and beautiful. The opera itself is not only musically and dramatically a roaster-piece , but affords Miss Hall an unusual opportunity for the display of her vocal and Histrionic abilities. She assumes six different characters in the piece , which is given by her representative as an evidence of her versatility as an actress. Her company Is given ample scope for the display of their talents , and Mr. Bon iface , Mr , . Miller , .John Brand , Willinm Blaisdoll , Miss Cook and Miss Heed are all assigned parts for which they are suld to bo ' peculiarly fitted. The opera' will bo staged In a sumptuous manner. "Madame Favnrt" is ono of the few comic operas that has a good , sensible plot. The music of the opera is acknowledged to bo the lightest and most popular of any of Offenbach's musical works , and proved u surprise and n novelty even to the theater goers of the present day. The scenery will represent the Interior of the Golden Crown Inn , the Grand Sulon nnd the camp of Marshal Saxo , and It Is correct in design and brilliant in execution.
