C'OLUMni'S, Neb.. March 9. (Special.) The evidence before tho coroner's Inquest over the body cf John C .Mendham, who was killed In tho wreck here Wednesday rvenlng, brought out some facts In modem railroading. Engineer Livingston, who has a record of thirty-three years of continuous service, was asked by a Juror If he reversed his engine. Ho replied "I did not. Tho idea of reversing an engine, which Is sup plied with driver brakes, In making an emergency stop has been exploded In recent years. Bach drlv'rr Is 'supplied with a brakeshoc eighteen Inches long and six Inches wide. When these are applied tho Instant you reverse an engine you simply cx'hapge all that brake power for a small two-Inch bite upon the rail. If the drivers were not provided with brake then It would be" proper to reverse." Another Juror asked him why he didn't .answer the flagman's signal. "There are , several reasons why I made no answer," replied Mr. Livingston. "When I first saw the danger I knew at a glance that I could not avoid striking them. An answer to ;the flagman would have conveyed a false I Impression simply relieved their anxiety, and by remaining silent they kne that 1 was either working with both hands or else did not sec them." 1 C. J. Mullch, a brakeman, testified that when he saw tho collision could not be averted he Jumped on the caboorfe platform and a second warning was given to tht stockmen to leave the car. A Juror asked him If he thought ho heard b' them. '"Yes." he replied. "1 took particular pains to emphasize my words and I know that they heard me."

CONDITION OF cVlTOW TO BE IMPROVED .eliritftkn IlrtiKRlata si-ek Kniiut me n t or Sew l.lir.iiir l.nM-t'narft Are AkvIkiiciI for Supreme Court MttliiK. LINCOLN'. SInrch 9 (Special.) Governor Dietrich, Adjutant General Klllan and others paid a visit to the state penitentiary today for thu purpose of maklnR a thorough Investigation of the damage sustained by the recent fire. As u rrsillt of this In vestigation the governor's views In regard to changing the location of the penllentlury to some point where It could be surrounded by from two to four sections of go'od farm ing land, as expressed by hlni last week, are somewhat chanced "The damage to the building Is not nearly so bad as I was led to believe at the time 1 made those suggestions." said tho governor, "and while I am still of the opin ion that the suggestions made by me nt the time of tho fire are practical I think, since looking oer the ruins, that the damago sustained by the fire Is not of such n nature as to Justify such a change at this time. I was led to believe that the damage was much greater than It has provid to be, and had such been the case I am still of the opinion that It would be a wlso move on the par of tho state to securo u large tract of good farming land and erect a thor oughly modern prison. The prisoners could be employed at much more profit to the atnto In farming than they arc at the pres ent time, and with a penitentiary sur rounded by a large tract of good land It could, think, he made largely self-sustaining. However, I do not think the state l In condition to make such a change at present. It would nbcus3ltatc tho sacrifice of too much property whlctn at tho time I made those suggestions, was supposul to do entirely destroyed. "What I would suggest now Is that the old cell house, the one thai burned, be placed under a new roof and temporarily repaired bo that the convicts could be kept there until the new coll house can be equipped with modern steel cages, when they could be moved there permanently The new cell house I find Is not damaged and It Is suttlciently large for tho ac commodation of nil the prisoners and should be fitted out with new cages of tho most approved pattern. It Is estimated that such equipment will cost from J50.000 to Jio.OCO, while the other repairs made necessary by t&c fire will be In the neigh borhood of J100.000." .Not to He Neiit to Innn. The governor was of the opinion that tho prisoners could bo kept here and guarded by a detachment of the militia at less e.xpenso than It would require to send them to othcrstctes for safe keeping while tho new cell house Is being equipped. These questions and others pertaining to repairs at the prison wero discussed by tbo Iloard of Public Lands and Hulldlngs nt a meetlns held this morning, but aside from awarding a contract for a temporary bako oven at tho prison no action was taken. Adjutant Oeneral Klllan announced to day that hereafter the members of the Lincoln company would bo relieved as much as potslblc from duty at tho peniten tiary by members of other companies. Many of the Lincoln boys hold responsible positions and It Is considered an Injustice to them to keep them at the prison so much of the time. IniprorrniFnta nt Capitol. By practicing the strictest economy lu the expendlturo of the small appropria tion that will bo allowed, the Stato Iloard of Public Lands and Ilulldlngs hopes greatly to lmprovo tho appearance and condition of the state capltol building and grounds. For all expenses, such as for heating, lighting, repairing and refurnishing nnd maintaining the grounds, the finance, ways and means committee has recommended an appropriation of $13,000 and tho Indica tions arc that the amount will be allowed by the legislature. Several plans for beau tifying the grounds have been submitted to tho board by Neal Grldln, custodian of the building, and they will be carried Into effect as soon as the appropriation becomes available. Of tho total appropriation recommended $10,000 will be for tho current necessary expenses of the building, leaving only J3, 000 for alterations nnd Improvements. The largest Items of expenses are heating nnd lighting, but not a small amount will go to the Janitorial force. Of tho changes contemplated and ap proved by the board the most Important will be the raising of tho footwalks on the state houso grounds. Tho largo flagstones will bo raised up to the top of the curbing on the four approaches, or slightly above the surface of tho lawn. As the walks aro now arranged they form excellent drainage ditches for snow and rain and In bad weather aro worse than no walks at all. Another Improvement will bo the con struction of a green house on the capltol grounds. This wilt be started on a small ! scale and in inch a way as to admit of extensions. The legislature of two' years ago appro priated JIO.OM for simply repairing th capltol bulldlug, but the only evidence of the expenditure of this money for the pur pose Intended may be found In the silver coat on the dome and the varnish on th corridor walls. Mr. Griffin expects to make many lasting Improvements with an ap propriation only one-third ns large. I.liiuur SnlrK In DrtiK JHorr. The druggists throughout the state arc Interesting themselves In the passage of house roll 134, which Is an amendment to the Slocum law, providing that druggists who wish to sell liquor for medicinal pur poses shall not be required to file an ap plication by petition of freeholders, nor to publish tho amc, as now required, but providing that permits may be Issued to druggists by application after such appll- cation has been on file for two weeks In y the olllce of the county board, or of the corporate authorities In cities and villages. The druggists arc sending circulars and personal letters to their representatives In tho legislature, urging them to assist In securing the passage of the proposed amendment. .State Home Ilrli-fn.
