LINCOLN , Nob. , SopU -SpeclM [ to THE
Jnn. ] Another cause for delay in the con
traction of the now HOCK Island route
hreuRh this city developed today. Lnst
iUtnincr , when the Hock Island applied to
bo city council for permission to cross O
treat at grade , the ordinance met with bit
er opposition from various Interests
Jn tbo city , nnd especially from the
residents of Bast Lincoln , who would nf
fiocosslty bo compelled to cross the rail
road tracks on their way to npd from the
business pail of the city. When the ngltn-
Vlon of the matter was at Its height , the Lin-
cola Street Hallway company stepped In nnd
Aocureil an Injunction restraining the Hock
J.Mtuid from croislnc O sure' nt grade. Not'
withstanding Iho opposition , however , tno
City council passed the ordinance Introduced
pn'bchnlf nf the Uoclc Island. Since that
time the company hus gone abend , secured
right of way through tbo city , let the con
tracts for the construction ot Iho road and
also received bids for the erection of thu new
passenger depot at Twentieth nnd O streols.
The injunction secured by the street rail
way company had never been argued * etoro
ths district court. Several dntcs lor the
bearing were set and ouch tlmo n postpouc-
ment was secured by ,0110 side or the other.
The matter wns to have bcon broueht up
before Judge Hall tbls morning , but u now
difficulty ptesentod Itself in the shape of nn
application of Uourv E. Lewis , president of
the Lincoln Savings bank , wbo nsked leave
to Intervene and for tlmo lu which to prepare
111 is affidavits.
Ho Hied a petition In which ho alleges that
no Is u resident of Kast Lincoln , and that In
order to get to his place ol business each day
bo will bo compelled to cross the tracks of
tbo defendant company. This , ho assorts ,
Will eiiuso linn great inconvenience and less ol
tlmo , not to say anything nbout danger to
life nnd llmo. Ho further alleges thaUlbo
flcfcndatit company can , at n silently inCreased -
Creased rxncnuo , depress or elevate its
tracks and thus avoid all cause for complaint.
In order toglvo him time to prepare further
BlUduvlls , Judge Hull continued the case
imlil October 17.
Fighting Over I'lvo Children. '
An Interesting legal conflict ever the pos-
osslou of llvo youug children has been
taking ploco In Judge Lansing's court this
Week. Tno children were orphans nnd arc
inranles of the Tabithu homo In this city.
Some time ngo a Mrs. Hodges , a sister of the
children , secured possession of two of them
tinder a slight pretext und when tno authori
ties of the homo demanded their return
Mrs. Hodges refused her consent. Sao then
went into the probate court nnd secured the
Appointment ol guardian over allflvo of them ,
but when she went to tbo homo and de
manded bpr wards the ofllcers ut the homo
refused to permit them to leave. ThU
brought the mutter into court. The woumu
claimed that the children were poorly fed
and clud nt the homo , but the facts in the
case did uot seem to substantiate her story.
On the other hand tbo oftlcials of Iho home
claimed that Mrs. Hodges was unable to
Support the children , having a largo family
Df nor own and that she wanted them to en-
piuo in tbo profession of benzine. The
court decided thattho children should remain
at the homo.

In Philadelphia , through building

captured the "unearned increment"
which would have gene to the landlord.
Building associations on the Philadel

A PAPYRUS MA.NUSCEIPT.
Discovery In icyi : t of 1111 Ancient Copy
of tno Old li > nt : mcnt.
A.t the International Orientist Con
gress hold in London a most interesting
document was submitted by Prof.
Hochler , chaplain ot the British Em
bassy ut Vionnaa , distinguished orienta
list. The document referred to \ & n
papyrus manuscript discovered a few
months ago in Egypt , nnd is supposed
by some authorities to bo the oldest copy
extant of portions of the old testament
books of Zachariuh und Muluchi. Those
pages of papyrus , when intiict , were
about 10 inches high and 7 inches wide ,
each containing twonty-olght lines for
writing , both sides of the shoot being
used. The complete line contains /rom
fourteen to seventeen letters. The
shoots arc bound together in the form of
a book , in primitive though careful
manner , with cord and strips of old
parchment The Creole of this docu
ment is written without intervals be
tween the words , a custom observed
both in old Greek and old Hebrew
manuscripts. Tha papyrus is in fair
preservation , and is boliovo.d to date
from the third or fourth century. It
thus ranks in age with the oldest Uroelc
manuscripts of the Soptuugint version
of the old testament in London , Rome
and St. Petersburg.
The dilleronccs in this papyrus tend
to the conclusion that it was copied from
some original Septuagint bible , which
was first translated about the vour
280 B. C. for the use of the Ilollonlatio
.Tows in Egypt , who having gradually
forgotten the Hebrew tongue had learned -
od to npoak the Greek. The llret exami
nation hus shown that * It has several
now readings which surpass some of the
ether Soptuugint toxin in clearness of
expression and simplicity of grammar.
It would also appear that it was copied
from another Soptuugint bible and was
not written , as was frequently the case ,
from dictation. A second scribe has
occasionally corrected some mlutukes of
orthography made by the original
copyist. These are fatill to bo
distinguished by the dilTerout
color of the ink. This manu
script is deoinjd of buch Im
portance that thu London Tim us devoted -
voted three-quarters of a full page to
printing fao similes of two of the an
cient shoots and translation of their
contents. The pages , presented were
from Zacharluh , xii. , 2-0 , and as print
ed in the Times read us follows , the
subject mutter becoming divided in
versus , us does not appear in the
original :

I will make Jerusalem n stone trodden
down to all the nations , every ono
tramples on it , mocking , is mocked , and
thcro shall bo cathored together
against it all the nations of the earth.
4. In that duy , saith the Lord Al
mighty. I will smite every horse with
amaxemont and ; his rider with madness ;
but upon the house of Judca I will open
mine eyes nnd all the ( the ) horses of the
nation I will smite with blindness.
5. And the captains of thousands of
Judea bhull say in their hearts : "Wo
shall find for ourselves the inhabitants
of Jerusalem in the Lord Almighty
their God. "
( In that day I will make the cap
tains of thousands of Judca a firebrand
among wood and as a torch of fire in
stubble , and they devour on the right
hand and on the loft all the nations
roundabout ; and Jerusalem bhall dwell
again by herself. )
7. And the Lord shall snvo the tents
of Judea as at the beginning , that the
boast ut the House of David may not
magnify itself and the pride of the in
habitants of Jorusalnin against Judoa.
8. And it shall como to pass in that
day the Lord shall defend the
inhabitants of Jerusalem , nnd the weak
ones among them in that day shall bo as
David.
A comparison of those vorsee with
the versos in the latest version of the
old testament will show considerable
divergence of language.
Prof. Hechlor , in his remarks upon
this invaluable manuscript , said it was
sincorly to bo hoped that this most
valuable papyrus of the bible , probably
the oldest now known to exist , would
boon bo published in fao simile for
the careful examination of biblical
scholars. Ho addod. in conclusion , thut
it was the pressing duty ot the British
government to institute an organized
and scientific boarch for papyri in Kgypt.
It was impossible to forecast what wur-
prisoj might bo in store or what
treasures might bo placed nt the dis
posal of modern scholarship.

The drink known IIB cocktail was in
vented and the man a applied to it by
Elizabeth Flanagan , the Irish wife of
un Irish soldier , who died during the
revolution. She then became u sutler
and followed the troop of Virginia horse
which in 1770 wintered at the Four Cor
ners , between WJiito Plains und Tarry-
town , in Wostchestor county , Now York.
Betsey Flanagan sot up a hotel which the
American und French olllcersfrequented.
Thuy would como in after u night ut thu
card tublo for u "bracer , " and Mistress
Flanagan would provide them with a
drink that made them fool as "fresh as
a cock's tail. " In time the compound re
ceived the name by which U is now
known. Elizabeth Flanagan is dead ,
the Four Corners lias twice changed its
name , first to Hall's Corners und now
to Khns'ord ' , but the cocktail wo still
