nttomcv have Inaugurated n ! l ht In the dis
trict lourt which promises to reveal many
brce/.y thinir. * before It in completed , unless
Indications are very much at fault. William
Barker , an agent for a well known lightning
rod firm of this city. Is the plaintiff In the
fljUaml ; the law firm of-Mynster , Llndt it
Hwrtl Is named M the defendant. Barker
becaiim Involved In a serious difficulty In
Fulton county. Illinois , nearly two years
affo. He was arrested on a charge of ob-
tailing money under false pretenses , nnd ho
engaged the defendants to act as his attor
neys Limit did most of the negotiating
with Barker , and , according to Barker's
Hlatrmcnts , commenced lo declare dividends'
on Barker's pile with monotonous regularity ,
at the rate of from j'00 to ? T > 00 per
divvy He told Barker thai he would have
to Have .VXI to commence with. This was
given , imd Limit went to Illinois to make tir-
rangi mmls for the trial. On coming back
he nnnoiiiiced to his cll'-ntconildentlally that
he had paid the money to the county attor
ney of Fulton county , for the purpose of In
ducing him to make the prosecution as light
JIH i > osslble , consistent with his i'loas of pro
fessional etnics. He claimed to have won
the prosecuting attorney over to his way of
thinking h > the force of his arguments , and
was verj much encouraged over the outlook
for scdiring an acquittal for Ills-client.
Another demand , Parker claims , was soon
made upon him , this time for the
purpose of buying off the prosecut
ing viftncss. and this , too , Limit
claimed to have done. About this
lime one of Barker's sub-agents was ar
rested in Nebraska on similar charge , and n
requisition had lo be secured to take him
back to Illinois for trial. Barker was drawn
upon for another WOO. and H hen Limit trot
bach from u trip to Lincoln he announced
thai he had paid the WOO to Governor
Thaj or and that gentleman had decided to
take a Intlo trip to Chicago at the time the
requisition papers were Issued. And so
things went on , until Barker now claims
tluit over $5.000 was paid to Limit to carry
on the expense of the trial.
When the case came to trial Mynstcr and
Sweet Limit's partners , thought thai the
prosecuting attorney was pushing , the case
lee hard considering the amount of money
that Limit had paid him. and they inlimaled
as much during a brief recess of court. The
prosecuting attorney demanded an explana
tion , and then , il is alleged , the whole thing
came out Limit , instead of paying out the
"expense money" that Barker had given
him for the purpose of lubricating the
channels of Justice , had shoved it down into
his capacious pocket , with the final result
that tlie channels of justice went unlubri-
catcd unit Barker was found guilty and lined.
As he was unable to pay his line lie was re
leased imilci' the "poverty act. " after serv
ing ililrtj days In the county jail.
He now comes into court and alleges that
the sum of SI.'JOO was agreed upon between
him and Limit as a fair attorney fee. and
$1,000 was to be paid for "expenses.1' As all
this amount was diverted to other uses than
those intended by Barker , and was obtained
b\ false and fraudulent promises from Limit ,
he demands a judgment for 5,000 and costs
) f the suit.

Thomas O'Donncll of Omaha called at the
police station yesterday to ask for informa
tion concerning a man who was reported to
have been drowned In the Missouri last
Tuesday afternoon. He stated thai bis .sou ,
Thomas O'Donnell , Jr. , who had liecn living
at Colon. Neb. , for sonic time past , came to
visit him last Saturday , and that after
spending a few days with him he left on
Tuesday to visit his brother , Patrick O'Don-
ncll , who lives at the corner of Fourth ave
nue ami KlovcntiT street , and works In the
Union' * Pacific roundhouse here. Nothing
lit.d brou scon or heard of the young man
since , and ho feared that possibly the young
man hud fallen in the river and been
drowned , ho having Intended to cross the
river on the ice. An Investigation showed
that a man had been drowned in the river on
Tuesday , but thai no report had been made
to the authorities of the fact. The engineer
at the pumping station of the water works
company staled that he saw a man coming
over from ICust Omaha on the ice , and that
when near the Iowa end of the new Bridge
and Terminal railway Iho ice suddenly
broke , and ho vanished from sight. As lie
went down he culled for help , but ho evi
dently came up where the ice was consider
ably thicker , and nothing more was seen of
him. As neir us the engineer could de
termine , from where ho stood and from the
hasty look he had. he was dressed in dark
clothes and hat. He could not give anymore
accurate description , but so far as it goes
the description tallies with that of the miss
ing man.

sideration at every political convention and
at the meeting of every legislature , and It is
to be regretted that the proposed amend
ment to the constitution , providing for a
board of ralhvViy commissioners to be elected
by the people , submitted at the late election ,
failed to receive the requisite vote. To inch
a bo ml , cho cn with reference to their llt-
nes ! ' , Invested with sulllclent authority , di
rectly representing and responsible to the
people , all matters ivlatiim to railway legis
lation might have been referred with a
reasonable < assurance as to the justness of
their conclusions. Having failed , the sub
ject returns to jou. Your authority to con
trol these railways is undisputed , and you
will \ stop short of your duty if jou fail to dose
so if occasion demands it.
SIfl Complaint has been widely expressed thai
freight rates are unjustly high. The press
has repeatedly declared it , and it was pro
claimed from the rostrum in nearly every
precinct of the state. One of the leading
political parties said that "the great railway
corpora lions do now and have taken by un
just freight rates from the people of Ne
braska mlllrms of dollars annually , " and
nearly seventy thousand , or alxnit one-third ,
of the voters who attended the polls last fall
hc a measure expressed Ihc-ir belief in the
charge by voting for the candidates stajiding
on the platform. k
So grave a declaration , thus deliberately
proclaimed , should only bo made upon a
proper understanding of the facts , and those
who inudo it may ba reasinably called upon
to supply the proofs in support of it 1 need
not say to you that these corporations not
only have no right to unjustly take millions ,
but they should not be allowed to take an
unjust dollar from the people.
ItnllriKidi llavn .Siiuio Itlghts.
On the other hand railroad property de
serves the same consideration as that ac
corded to any other. While the roads should
not be permitted to confiscate the citizens'
property , neither are yon warranted in con
fiscating the roads.Ve have already in
this young state between 5,000 , and 0,000
miles of railroad and must have many more.
We have invited and encouraged them in the
past and should encourage them in the fu
ture. . More than anything else they have
contributed to the wealth and development
of Nebraska. The many millions of dollars
thus added to our taxable property have
been placed hero under the implied under
standing that it would bo Justly dealt with.
Let that faith bo respected. Disregarding
the importunity of sclf-lntcrest on the one
side and the notions of extremists on the
other let your treatment of the subject of
railroad regulation bo such as to commend It
to that great body of fair-minded N.Y."f
who constitute the great majorit. , of our
state.
But il Is not my purpose , nor is ihis Iho
occasion for mo lo discuss .or refer to the
several matters which may properly become
the subjects for your consideration. The
law ! requires of my predecessor that ho sub
mit to you a statement of the condition of
the t affairs of state , tog lher with such sug
gestions as ho thinks appropriate. His mes
sage is before you. If deemed sufficiently
important by me lo emphasize anything HO
lias said , or to call attention to other mat
ters , I will do so by special message.
In concluding these brief remarks , gentle
men , I desire to express ttio hope that the
most cordial relations may mark our inter
course. Although representing several po
litical organizations , for the term of our
service together let us all bo Nubraskans ,
inspired by a common desire to advance the
welfare and glory of the stale in which wo
all have such a just pride.

PiTTsmmo , Pa. , Jan. 18. The court room
was crowded at the second day of the trial
of Hugh Dcmpsoy for complicity in the
rtomcstead poisoning. Most of the forqnoon
session was taken up witli the examination
of men taken ill while working at Home
stead and their physicians. The latter all
expressed the belief that Iho men had been
poisoned. The defense objected to the
physicians' testimony. The court said the
proceedings were somewhat irregular , but
if it could bo proved Unit the defendant was
guilty of furnishing poison , the evidence
would bo admissible. The district attorney
said ho would show this fact and tlio testi
mony was admitted.
