Ground has been procured of Mr. Gottsehalk, near the city, for a half-mile race coarse, which was laid off Monday, and the grading began. The coarse will have two straight mns and two gentle curves, and the b'hoys will have a nice place to try the speed of their fast hones. Ellis & Loveland have completed a tank with tower to support it, for the windmill on Nebraska Avenue. The tank is six feet in diameter and six feet deep and stands sixteen feet above ground. It will ba used to sprinkle the streets thereabouts, and one "party" aggests that the tower le enclosed for bathing purposes. It would make a heavy shower bath.

During the day he had enjoyed his usual health and was resting at home after a hard days work. When it became diScult for him to breathe, he began walking about the house, as he had doue on former oc casions. The attack was so severe that the family called a physician, bat he ar rived too late. Mr. Schreiber was born near Berlin, Germany, Ootober 20, 1851. Be came to America in 1871 and for sev eral years followed the sea, making sev eral trips from New York to the East Indies. In 1876 he came to Columbus where he has since resided and conduct ed an implement and blackatnithtng busi ness. On April. 1877, he was married to Miss Minna Asobe, who with three child ren, Louie, Otto and Emma, survive him, two younger ones having died in early childhood. Besides the family he leaves a brother and sister in Germany, and one sister, Mrs. Durkopp, residing f our miles north of the city. Mr. Schreiber was fifty-seven years and seven months old at the time of his death. He was a member of the local Maennerchor and al so the Modern Woodmen of America. Funeral services were held Sunday from the German Lutheran church, being con ducted by the pastor Rev. Herman Mies sler, and burial was in the Columbus cemetery. One of the most daring holdaps in the history of the Union Pacific was that of last Saturday night, when No. 2, the Overland limited was held up in the sub urbs of Omaha. Thetrain, which is due in this city at 9:17; passed through on time that evening, and the first anyone here knew ubout it was the notice of the rewards wired to the local police officers. The train was pulled by Engineer Meikeljohn, formerly of Columbus, and while here was night hostler, besides running on the branches. He was or dered to assist the robbers after the train was stopped and the mail clerks lined up, and the registered mail taken. Conductor Wallace had charge of the train. Monday and Tuesday there were several government and railroad detec tives in this city looking after some clues, but it is hardly probable that the parties who turned the trick boarded the train in tbis city. How much money they secured is not known, but they evidently knew which train.to-hold-up, as this one always carries a heavy regis tered mail. So far the authorities have not been able to make much headway to ward getting any clue as to the identity of the holdups, but there seems to be a strong suspicion that they aie in Oma ha and in hiding. Alois Friachholz and Miss Katie Schmitz were married this morning at the Catholic church, Father Marcellinus performing the ceremony. The wed ding was witnessed by only relatives and a few intimate friends of the bridal party. Immediately after the ceremony a wedding dinner was served at the bride's home. Mr. and Mrs. Frischholz are both well and favorably know in this city. The bride is the youngest daugh ter of Mrs. Kathyrn Sohmitz, and was until recently employed as clerk in L. W. Snow's book store. The groom is a progressive business man of this city, being one of the firm of Frischholz Brothers. Mr. and Mrs. Frischholz have many friends and acquaintances, who will wish them an abundance of hap piness. They will reside on East Eleven th street. Wm. Schroeder of this city, and Miss Louise Malcher were married at the home of the bride's mother in Chicago, Illinois, Thursday evening. May20. The wedding was wittneeed by only a few relatives and friends of the bridal cou ple. The brido is one of the leading florists of that city, and during her visit to Columbus several weeks ago made many friend& and acquaintances who will wish her much success and happiness in her new home. The groom has for many years been a resident of this city. Mr. Schroeder returned to Columbus Saturday evening, but Mrs. Schroeder will not arrive in the city un til Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, at which time they will be at home to their many friends in the groom's resi dence on East Eleventh street. A temporary baggage and express room is being built by the Union Pacific on North street, east of the old depot, to be used while the new baggage room is being built. The ticket office and waiting rooms will remain in the depot while it is being rebuilt, and as soon as the west end is completed will be re moved there. Until the sew building is completed the baggage will have to be trucked a considerable distance for all west bound trains. Aa eoon as the foundations are in readiness and the material on the ground, a large force of men will be put to work to complete the building. Relatives in this city have been ad vised of the death of John Foley, nephew of Mrs. Edward Clark of this city, who died at his home in New York last Wednesday evening, death resaltiag from a complication of diseases. Some time ago Mr. Foley came to this city in hopes of benefiting his health, aad dur ing h'k stay in Columbia made many frieads, who will be grieved to learn of his death.
