In the event of which Nebraska education al facilities will be greatly en larged and bettered. The following front the Lincoln Journal is of inte rest: The proposition to mere the Shenandoah normal school with Professor Roosc's Lincoln normal universily is likely be successful, if indications arc not decidedly mis-, leading. Saturday evening a meet ing was held in the school house near the campus of Profess Roose's location. It was largely attended by property owners of the vicinity and by prominent member of the board of trade and real estate ex- chnnge. The proposition was ex plained by Professor Koose and others, who stated that plans of the buildingnlrvady in course of con slrueliiui Heiv In be couipli'lcd and a boardtng house built with a capacity of am) boarders. In itd- ditinn a power house must be erected lor power, light and heat. The b.tililings alone are to cost of least $i:.i,Uii) and it is to be made the' largest normal college in America. Property Mibscripiou amounting to ."0,itii() only were needed, , After a free discussion eight live acres of land were subscribed by those present. Others have sigui fied a willingness to subscribe and no great dillieulty is apprehend in raising the desired amount. The matter must he settled this week, as another site near the cily is in view. In addition ts the oilier site which seems available, there have been liberal otTets front Sioux City and IVnvcr. The board of trade and red estate exchange are de termined, however, to never let the present opportunity pass if it can be avoided. Stivi-r-oly lo.iureil The many friends of lion. W. It.

Upon examination he was found to be badly bruised on different parts of the body but it was thought that he 11 cei veil no serious injury ex cept the fracture of a leg.

Duttou departed for Kan sas City this morning. A Iteliuious Dehoifs. A religious debate is in progress it Kltnwood between Ivlder Allen, pastor of the Baptist church at I'i. ion, aud Rev. Potter, of Saline county, of the Mormon persuasion. The discussion began Tuesday night, and, unless the time 11s originally set has been extended, the debate closed last evening. In his report of the discussion to the Union Ledger, an Klinwood corres- pondent has the following to say of the debate: "The speakers have so far been kind and patient toward each other and have deinonmrated the fact that debates can'Jfe held without personal spite. As to their ubil ities, Klder Porter co.nes as a repre sentative of his faith, is Knglish by birth, and is a fine speaker, and while he seems to understand his business from his standpoint, he is not a sparkling orator, but a genial and companionable man. As to Ivlder Allen, he needs no commen dation from me. lie is a nun whose reputation as a skilled, fair and scholarly debater stands in the front ranks, and in this debate he has more than met the expectations of his friends, and last night his onslaughts were so fearful and unanswerable that his opponent seemed to sit and gaze with amaze ment, and yet while Allen shredded the Mormon claims as by whirlwind, his bearing toward his opponent was that of a friend and brother, and he plainly stated to the congregation that if they came to hear the Mormon prophet villi' fied they might as well go home He has now in this debate the admiration of even his opponents as a man who stands above per sonal prowess or vindictive slang."

A SAD DEATH. John Monro InxiHinly Kille t WhiU Milking h Cmiptiii.f ut the B. A M. Ynt. Our citizens were horrified last e ening by the announcement that John Monroe, a switchman at the B. A: M. yards, had been instantly killed. The corpse was at once taken in charge by Coroner Uiiruh and conveyed to apart meats over his place of business. As it lay up. ou a stretcher it indeed presented an thing but a pleasing scene. The head was crushed into an un recognizable mass. The skull was crushed as it were a piece of chinaware, while the brain, the little that remained, was dangling from the skull. The face was badly bruised aud coveted with blood rendering the scene sickening in the extreme, lvvidenees tnat the car-wheel had passed partly over the abdomen were diseet liable. As soon as practicable, Coroner Unrtih cared for the corpse and rendered 11 111 as preseutauie condition as possible. I'lte accident happened a few minutes before 7 last evening. The 1111I01 lunate in in was attempting lo couple a Hat to a box car. The Hal ear was loaded with heavy timbers, which projected over the ml of the car and the presumption it first was, (lioitLiIi that view has ici'it disproved by (lie coroner's jury, that as lie stepped between thecals his head was caught by one of the timbers nnd ianimed igainst the car with great force. Htakeniati Wilson stated thai he stood within eight or nine feet of the man at Ihe time of the acc dent and he kiiw the timber jam his head against the ear and us the train slacked he immediately drop ped to the ground. Others testified before the coroner's jury that Ihe injury was more probably caused by the car wheel. The coroner empaneled the fol lowing jury: Win. Weber, W. W. Hull, I'M Fitzgerald, A. I). Despain, B. Nobles, O. C. Dovey. About a lo.en witnesses were examined aud the following verdict was rendered: At an iiiiiuisition hidden at Piattsmoutli, in Cass county, ou the lath day of December, A. I. lYll, lelore nn', J. I. Uiiruh, coroner of said couuty, upon Ihe body of John Monroe, lying dead, by the jurors whose names are hereunto sub scribed, the said jurors upon their n, lib say: That the said John Mon roe came to his death while at lemotinir to make n couplitiL'' in the I'lattsmouth yard of the B. .V M. Ii. Ii. Co. from accidentally falling under the car wheel and the wheel of the car running onto him; and that, in our opinion, from the evi dence and to the best of our belief, no blame could be attached to the company or its employees.
