A CoLCiintJS special to tho Omaha Bee
saj-s : Oilicialsaud citizens wore aroused to
a high state ot excitement by a report that
a murder had been committed near tho
old wagon bridge ncroBs the Loup river
leading into Columbus this morning. Tho
coroner visited tho spot , which was found
to bo on tho south sido of tho largo ico
house ot Miller & Baker , and , suro enough ,
thcro wore tho bones of a .human body in
all their ghastliness exposed to view. But
they hud evidently laid secreted in tho
sand a long time. Whether Indian or
white person is a matter ot doubt. As tho
skeleton was found on land that had been
used for years as a camping place lor
both Indians and emigrants , the conclus
ion arrived at by Dr. Shey , the coroner , is
that no inquest could elicit any informa
tion about either the time or cause of
death , and he took charge of the bones and
gave them an interment in the cemetery.
The reasonable solution is that it was
some emigrant that died whilo camping on
the river bunk and was buried near by ,
perhaps during the early tide of tho gold
excitement of California or Pike's Peak.
West Point special : About fivo years ago
a mun died in this county. He was a quiet ,
secluded old bachelor. His surname was
Moegal , and ho rejoiced in tho christian
name of Henry. Ho left Bevoral thousand
dollars. No ono knew ot any heirs. The
thing slept for several years. A year ago
last January Bryant , the present county
judge , instituted an investigation , which re
sulted in the discovery of hoirs m Dresden.
Germany. Frederick W. Melcher , of
Omaha , is the executor.
As MiRs Annio Duffy of Platto county ,
wjis driving home from Bchool near Lost
Creek where she is teaching , sho was thrown
from her buggy , tho horso taking fright.
Miss Duffy sustained severe injuries , having
both arms broken and contusions on her
head and brenst.
Fairmont citizens are excited over the
prospect of a new railroad , the Omaha and
Kansas City. A mass meeting was recently
held at tho opera house and everybody
was in favor of voting bonds.
' Citizens of Grand Island held an enthusi
astic meeting in the interest of establishing
a large canning.cstaidishinent.
The York Democrat says that Onin B.
Ilobbs was brought in from Lincoln by
Deputy Sheriff Afllerbnch , to answer to tho
: harge of bastardy preferred by Annie B.
Cringle. The case was continued and tho
lefendant was bound over to the district
: ourt. The matter was subsequently set-
Lied and tho case dismissed.
York Democrat : The oratorical contest
A the Athenian oratorical society of the
jollege was held at the M. E. church last
Thursday evening. There were three con-
: estnufs : W. L. Frew , "America's Mis-
akes ; ' ' J. N. Plumb , "Ecclcsiasticism , "

Z7ie Itrc. Henry Ward Bccchm TAea Uncon
scious as Death Atleancea Step by Step.
A Now York dispatch of tho Gth says :
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher had a stroke ot
apoplexy this morning and at this hour
lies in a critical condition. Between 2 and
3 o'clock Mr. Beecher awoke. He com
plained of being sick. His wife arose to got
something for him to drink. Ho began to
vomit freely and then lay back upbii his
pillow apparently exhausted. In a short
time he fell asleep. Mrs. Beecher concluded
that he would feel better in a few hours.
The first breakfnst boll rang but did not
awaken him. The second bell passed also
unheeded. Mrs. Beecher had been up for
some time , but did not wish to disturb
him. Becoming alarmed she mado an at
tempt to arouse him but could not do so.
Sho called her son and daughter-in-law.
They tried to arouse him. He tried to
speak , but his voice was thick and his
articulation indistinct. Dr. W. P. Searle ,
the family physician , was called in. Ho
pronounced Mr. Beecher quite ill , but did
not apprehend immediate danger. During
the day Mr. Beecher Beemed to improve ,
and hopes wero entertained that ho would
rally. Medicine wuh given und every
change noted.
This morning he appeared to be worse.
It was decided to call Dr. W. A. Hammond
of New York , in consultation with Dr.
Searle. Before noon Mr. Beecher lapsed
into unconsciousness , and was in that con
dition when Dr. Hammond reached tho
hoi.se. Dr. Hammond pronounced him in
n critical condition. He thought thut ns
tho patient was naturally a strong man ,
he might rally. He assured the family that
there was sonic hope.
A late Brooklyn dispatch says : Tho
anxiety of hundreds of citizens of Brroklyn
to learn tiie condition of the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher , led them to visit the resi
dence of his hon , Col. Henry Beecher , ut
Clark and flicks streets , at an early hour
this morning. Only the immediate friends
of the family were admitted , but as any
one emerged from the dwelling where tho
gteat preacher was lying at the point of
death , each was eagerly questioned by tho
throng , who surrounded the house. They
had no word oT encouragement in regard to
his condition for lie had lain in au uncon
scious condition since Saturday afternoon ,
and had not since that time given any evi
dence that he recognized any person about
his bedside. Up to that time ho hud been
able to raise his right hand to his head and
give them to understand that he was suf
fering considerable pain , but in the evening
lie seemed to puss into a comatose state :
his breathing was hard and Iw lost tho
power of moving his body.
Since the doctors informed the members
of the family that it was only a question of
time for the end , they have remained in tho
Bick chamber , awaiting every movement.
Tlie eldest daughter , the wife of tlie Rev.
Samuel Scoville of Stamford , Conn. , ar
rived at the house Saturday und her hus
band and two children will immediately fol
low. Ot' er members of the family in tho
house now are , .Mr. Beeclier's eldest son ,
Col. Beecher , his wife and two daughters
and non , Henry Ward Beecher. and W. C.
Beecher and his wife , who live at Columbia
Heights. Theirson. Herbert , who bus been
telegraphed to San Francisco for , is on tho
ocean between Portland , Ore. , and San
Francisco. He is not expected to reach
New York in time to see his father alive , as
he is not due in San Francisco till to-mor
row ( Monday ) and then he hns a week's
ride before lie can reach home.
[ Henry Ward Beecher was the fourth son
of Lyman Beecher and was born at Litch
field , Conn. , June 24 , 1813. He graduated

rtnd became pastor of tlie Plymouth Con-
n'L'iitional church , at Brooklyn , N. Y. , in
1847. During his whole cuieer he lias
mingled to u greater extent than almost
uny other preacher or his denomination ,
in matters not directly professional. In
Brooklyn he was soon known ns an earn-
3st opponent of slavery , ' and very
. arh' became known as a platform
Drator and lecturer. He Inn al

en I sermons from his pulpit , besides ud-
IreMsing a number of political tneet-
ngs. In 1S70 he became ed tor of i
ho Christian Union , a weekly re-
igious paper. Mr. Beecher has several
; imes vinited Europe. In the sum- ]
ner of 1874 Mr. T. Tilton , then editor of ]
he Independent , charged Mr. Beecher with i
iritnitiality with Mrs. Tilton. He brought
i civil suit against Mr. Beecher , claiming
1:100,000 : damages. The trial lasted six
nonths and resulted in the defendant's ac-
piittal , . In 187S Mr. Beecher unnounced ]
hut he did not believe in the eternity of
Minishment , believing that all punishments *
ire cautionary and remedial. He formally *
vithdrew Trom the association of CongreI
ational churches on account of this change I

THE CROP OVTIOOK.
Itcview of the Situation in tho Winter Wlieat
Belt. \
Chicago dispatch : The following crop i
lummary will be printed in this week's is- q
me of the Farmers' Review : Thus far re- (
lorls from the "inter wh-iat belt indicato I
hat the crop it emerging from winter in |
letter shape than last year. The crop .
s not assured from resulting damage ojj
itorms and bad weather , and still has to I
kiss through a critical period ; but as a C
vhole the outlook must be regarded as -
nore favorable than at the beginning of
dutch of last year. The extremely mild j
reather of the opening days of last week , V
ollowcd by the cold weather , caused some 5
njury in Illinois and in Indiana , and in
.aPorteaud Randolph counties of Indiana , I
onuidernble wheat was frozen and killed. ] j
Twenty-three Illinois counties this week reg
tort wheat as looking well , while inBrown ,
'olinson ' and White counties , injury
s reported. Thirteen counties in Indiana
nuke very favorable returns. In Michigan .
, nd Wisconsin the outlook is reported as
erv favorable. Nearly all the WiscotiHin
ieltls had an ample snow covering since J
ist November. Tlie weather has been un- L
ivorable in Ohio , and some injury is re-
lorted in Champagne , Seneca and Van
Vert counties , but all tlie other counties q
eporting make favorable returns. The q
enson is well advanced in Missouri and p
pring plowing has commenced. In Bates , jj
Jenton. Christian and Montgomery counjj
ies oats are already being sown. In Clinq
on , Kiiox and Livingston counties of g '
lisiouri wheat is reported as looking
oorly , but the other counties' reports are
minly of a favorable tenor. There is no W
hange in the tenor of tlie reports from C <
lansaa. Fully one-half of the counties reO
ort a very poor outlook for wheat. In H
larper county not more than one-half an C.
vcrage crop is predicted , while in Clay , Si
> avis , Mitchell , Reno and Rock counties
lie situation is poor and the crop ia in a
ritical condition.
Fbxlerton is about to get a first-class q ,
stol , an institution of which the town H
andg greatly in need. - Si

A DISASTROUS BLOCKADE. \
Several People Killed by Falling from th
New York Elevated Railway. '
}
NewYouk , MnrchS. Tho large tailoring .
establishment of "Nlcoll the Tailor" on the 'fl
Bowery was destroyed by lire this mornlnj ? . , * j
The Humes caused a blockade on tho Third 1
avenue elevated road , which extended far up / |
above 17th street. The conductor on a train V * i
which was blocked a few hundred feet from i I
the Seventeenth street station and sdvpral ( * ld. 1
- passengers lert the train and started to walk * t / 1
over the narrow plank bcsldo tho track audr 1
thus make their way to the station. While- I
they wero doing so the blockade was relieved ? ? I
and the trains ' began to start. Tho motloa 'I
shook the pathway to such an extent that a Jl
number of passengers were thrown to the H
street below. Three of these were Instantly 1
killed and seven others badly Injured. jl
When the 7 o'clock train came to a stand- jl
still between Fourteenth and Seventeenth J
streets , Patrick Miithcws of 417 East Twenty- ( ' ]
fourth street , was standing on the platform of * i.m
the third car , opened the gate , got out on tho jl
narrow platform and started to walk to tho Jl
Fourteenth street station. He was followed I
by a number of men who were anxious to got [
to work. When they were within fifteen feet m
of the station the train started. Mathews m
was panic stricken , and supposing that he was fl
golne : to fall oil the platform to the street be- M
low , he clutched a man who was standing be- M
fide him and they both fell to the Ground and m
were Instantly killed , while other men became M
panic stricken and jumped Into the street ,
The greatest excitement prevailed and
spread among the passengers , and it was as
much as the train hands could do to keep H
them hi the cars aud prevent them from jump- M
ing from the train. Women in the cars- m
screamed and fainted. At last the train was M
brought to the station and most of the pus- m
scngcrs got oil and took surface cars down fl
town. f'U
The distance which the men fell was about ] M
thirty , feet. The dying aud wounded were ! fl
taken immediately in ambulances to the- jfl
New * York. Bellevtie and fct Vincent's bos- fl
;
pitals. Hundreds of people gathered around jfl
the scene of the accident , but Captain jfl
Clincher was on hand with a squad of twelve- fl
men aud kept the crowd back. The sidewalk fl
and street were covered with blood. 'fl
Tiie killed were Patrick Mathews and two- / <
unknown men , one about 0years of age. ( fl

jured hip and back , Robert Shoemaker , In- jfl
jured hack and leg ; William Kennedy , back 'flj
aud side hurt ; James Lyon , arm , back and rflj
head injured ; Jose Gradandin , injured in tho flj
back and ribs and generally contused ; Emll > flj
Weiler , injured in the head , hack and side. H
The narrow walk from which the people fell /9J /
was about two and one-half feet wide. When WJ
the p.is enirers left the blocked cars and , H
opened the platform gate the men of tiie train iflj
offered no objection , as they should have ifl ]
done. The long cortege of men was plckinjr , H
its way slowly when suddenly the trains start- ilflj
cd up and began to move and shook the track. jflj
with a convulsive movement that nearly shook jjH
the foremost man off his feet. Shrinking HJ
back in fnght from the moving wheels he HJ
crowded agamst the man oehind hirn , on the- . 'flj
very edge of the narrow plank walk. The- 'jH
man seized wildly at a neighbor in terror. fjflj
The latter drew hack. But the crowd behind M
was pressing on , the train was moving on the M
right , aud tho-e behind saw a mome-itnrv flj
bunching of the crowd in front , and thou huff M
a dozen men were seen falling over into the , jHJ
street below , from which annc a frightened : fll
wail , that turned into shrieks of terror and - _ H
despair as man after man struck the pave- | H
ment and lav mangled aud biceiimr. fl
Tlie men fell in tlie middle of the street on /HJ /
the surface car track , and lay , some motion- f fl
less , some irroaning faintly and one shrieking flj
wildly in pain. The crowd of thousands who M
had watched the blockade from below surged HJ
around and closed in upon the scene. While H
volunteers were sorting out the heap of those HJ
fallen , and policemen were kecpimr had : the HJ
crowd , the ambulances arrived and the sur- HJ
ireons turned in to render immediate aid. and HJ
the ambulances received loads and galloped - HJ
back to the hospitals. Ten had fallen from -iK HJ
the track and were found dead or injured. ' Hj
Tiie three at the bottom of the heap were HJ
dead , having fallen head first. | HJ
