From a gentleman who came up : rom Lincoln yesterday wo obtain he particulars of a suicide , which oc curred in that city yesterday , and the ictim of which seems to deserve pity ather than condemnation , from the world. In this case , as in many an ther , whisky seems to have been the ) rime canee of the suicide's troubles , which finally culminated ia remorse , despair and eelf-dcstruction. The natno of the unfortunate man was William O. Coons , and he came Lincoln about two weeks ago from Germantown , Ohio , where he has a mother and aieter ittll residing , aa will be seen. Some thirteen years ago he was j married to the only daughter of a prominent and wealthy bnsinesp man of Cincinnati , Ohio. Dissipated hab its caused an unp'easant married life , and after ten years of wedded misery , hia wife obtained a separation from him , since which time ho has lived mostly upon money ob tained from his former wife out ot her sympathy for his destitute con dition. Some months ago Mrs. Coons married Mr. W. W. Charles , of Lin coln , and refused to keep np the sup ely of money , which was always spent in dissipation. In December Mr. Coons , hearing that Charles pro posed embarking In bneiness in Lincoln came there expecting employ ment , or to earn a living in some man ner. His former wife had , however , remained in the cast , on account of the death of her father , which oc curred on the 24th of December , and Mr. Charlca did not as my naturally upposed feeling like taking the mat n amd supporting him. Coons , who WBB a Vjuiet , respectabh man of about thirty-five yeara of age , registered at one of the hotels in Lin coln , from which he wrote a letter firs to the man who had married his for mcr wife , asking for forgiveness for what he had dom iu the past , saying that it w&8 whiskey which had been his ruin , and that he was money IMS and friendless' He aakcd to be permitted to work for Charles for his board and clothes for which he prom ised to be a faithful Borvsut as long as ho lived. The day after this letter was sent ho wrote another to hia former wife , Mrs. Charles , In which the substance of the first letter was re peated. Ho added : "Please don' turn mo away for God's sake , and vill always treat yourself and hnabani with the most profound respect ) and the past will be forgotten and you husband will bo to me as my sister am brother , Please intercede with you husband for mo , because I don't re member anything that I hive done. For Heaven's sake give me a place to nlocp and something to cat , and I will bo your slave. " The last letter was written on the 29th of December , anl the proprietor and quests of the house where ho was stopping noticed his despondent air , and that there was some heavy trouble hanging over him. On Wednesday he was unusually melancholy , and al ter na dug the office for a while retired early to bed. Yesterday morning he failed to como down to breakfast as usual , and when the dinner hour had -passed without hia putting in an appearance , an in vestigation was made and it was dis covered that he was in a dying condi tion from the effects of morphine powders , which he had evidently tken the night before. Dr. Mercer , of this city , was among the gussts below - low , and , with another physician , aa immediately ( summoned , but at once gave it aa his opinion that the man could not recover. He died about 4 o'clock last evening. Mr. Charles notified the officers that ; ho would pay the cspensts of the man's funeral and to see that he had a decent burial. After his death , a let ter dated Jan. 3d , | from Germantown , 0. , was received from hia sister , which fhows that however much of a wreck he might have become , thej' had not yet cast him off. The follow ing was the letter : DEAiiBiio : Wo just received yonr welcome letter and was glad to heir from you. We are all well and hope this will find you the same. Ma says tell Will to como home before all your money is gone , and try and get some thing to do if possible ; but if you can not , why let us know and you shall not suffer.

It is rumored that the C. , B. & Q authorities willattheir moetingin Chicago cage to-day , relative to the future management of their lately acquired line , the K. 0. , St. Jo & 0. B. road , appoint Mr. A. E. Touzalin , of this city , the general manager of that line as well as of the B. & M. in Nebraska. In that event it is expected that the headquarters of the K. 0. road will be consolidated either with the C. , B. & Q. general offices in Chicago , or with those of the B. & M. in this city.In In this connection it may not be in * appropriate to state ( hat the people controlling the Burlington road on last Wednesday filed with the auditor of Utah territory articles of incorpo ration of the Denver & PaciGc railway company , organized to construct and operate a line of railway from Ogden to the boundary line of Colorado and Utah , being intended to connect at that point with a railroad from Den ver. The estimated cost of construc tion is 53,750,000. The Chicago Tribune save : There can no longer bo any doubt thai the Burlington company is now determined to have an independent line through to the Pacific. The B. & M. in Nebraska is now within 250 miles of Denver , and thia gap will no doubt he filled in next year. Nothing has yet been decided upon as to the ooSiSiencement of work on lh line from Denver to Salt La so City. Its construction will no doubt depend greatly upon the attitudu of Jay Gould towards Ihtj Burlington. Itwasstate'd in yestir- day's Tribune that Gould intends to build a line from Julesburg. on the Union Pacific , to Denver , thus making a short line from the latter point to Ouiaha and Chicago. In the same connection it was stated that Gould also contemplates the extension of the Central Branch Union Pdcifie'railroad from its present terminus at Cawker City to Denver , thus creating parallel routes both north and south of the Burlington &MiBsouriRlverinNebras- ka. The Burlington scheme for a new line to the Pacific has evidently been gotten up principally to checkmate Mr. Gould. .Should Gould try to hot tie up of sandwich the Burlington , aa indicated above , then the new line west from Denver will be built. Should he , however , abandon the echume of extending the Union Pa cific and Central Branch roada to Denver , and a rcu to treat the Bur lington with fairneep , then the new Pacific route from Denver west is not likely to be constructed very eoon.

The Farmers' Complete Their Organization , .nd Pass Resolutions That Mean Something. /Vith / the Assertion That They Shall be Enforced Ipecial Correspondence of THE BEE. INCOLN , January G. Yesterday's letter closed with the state conven- ion of farmers still in session , the oncluding proceedings of which nro ere given : THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE. The following letter from the Na- ional Alliance was read : "PiTTSFORD , N. Y. , Dec. 24. 'J. ' Burrow ? , Esq. : "DEAR SIR It gives me great rteasnre to learn , through the public irints , that a meeting is to be held ty Nebraska farmers to organize a tate alliance. Of the necessity of uch organization it is not necessary o speak. Every man knows best for himself where the shoe pinches ; I annot suppose Nebraska farmers are o exceptionally circumstanced as note o bo pinched at all. "Much is , and has been said about he prosperity of the country , but it is quite well understood that whatever rosperity exists is due first to the in dustry and the profits of American 'arraers. The great bulk of Ameri- n exports to Europe consists of a icultural products , and these largely drawn from the west and northwest. But it la essential that if these pro ducts shall bo carried to the soibonrd , i Uio transportation comjHniea ahpll eav'o some proStto the men who grow the crops which are enriching the country.

The following were appointed a committee on constitution : W. L. Daborne , of Gage ; J. J. Saville , of Buffalo ; Pratt , of Johnson ; Anderson of Fillmore ; W. W. West , of Otoei ON RESOLUTIONS. Following were appointed a commit tee on resolutions : Ingersoll , of John son ; A. D. Ritchie , Seirard ; T. G. Wilkinson , Bnonu ; E. Shugart , Gage ; R. W. Graybill , M Heat , Clay ; - Armstrong , YorkG. ; L. Ronso , Hall ; H. G. Morton , Cass ; Allen llopt , Daring the absence of these com mittees ALLEN ROOT , of Douglas , was called upon to again address the convention. He said that it cost about $2.50 per carte trans port corn from Lincoln to Chicago , and for this outlay the railroads taxed the farmer aboufc.$60. The growth and influence of corporate powers has be come alarming. The authority of Jdy Gould to-day transcends that of Presi dent Hayek. Tom. Scottsaid he would not aurrenderhis position as president of the Ponneylyvania road to bo pres ident of the United States. By a twist of a pencil these men can rob any state of half its products. The present system of railroading is to charge the list panoy the products will bear. It charges § 500 for transporting ore worth § 1,000 per ton , and $230 for irai'ipirtm ' a ton worth § 500 , and railroads think they are making a fair divide. [ Laughter. ] Liws should be passed compelling them to charge all men alike. Thera has beeli a great deal said about "vested lights. " Thirty years ago we never heard of such a thing. Whatever rights railroads have have been given them by the people ; the roads exist by legislative action and should bo regulated by legislative action. [ Applause. ] Is it any wonder that railroad com panies can buy up legislatures ? Wen dell Phillips said that when Tom Scott went to San Francisco every swinft of his coat tail knocked down a legislature. [ Applause. ] If a member of our present legisla ture betrays our interests in regard to this railroad question , the people have one remedy when he returned home. hang him [ applause ] , and ho will noyer do it again. [ Applause and laughter. ] Two such hangings in the state of Nebraska would bo all that is required. [ Applause. ] PROF. CULBERTSON , of the State Agricultural Farm being called upon , said ho sympathized with the objects of the assemblage. He held that the way to regulate the evils com ! lained of was through the primaries , where such men should bo solectpd as legislatorsas arothoroughly identified with the interests of the psoplo as against impositions of mon opolies. DR. R. S MALONEV , of Richardson , followed Prof. Cul- bortson. in response ) to loud calls up- oa him , and said this question under consideration was one of absorbing interest. It is not necessary for mete to add anything in order to show the burrlena and grievances of the people of this st to , in consequence of the high tariff imposed upon every thing transported by the rail road" . You may bo sure you you are not acting here one bit ahead of the wishes of the people of the entire state. [ Applause. ] They are demanding all you can do and more. Let us be determined and stand shoulder to shoulder farmers , trades men , merchants , professional men , and men in all legitimate industries , for wa are all interested In this question. [ Applause. ] The highest legal authority in the land , on consti tutional questions , Jeremiah Black , [ Long continued applause. ] has said that the state and national legisla tures have a right to regulate by law railroad traffic. He denies the owner ship of the roads by the managers of those roads. [ Applause. ] That the ownership belongs to the people , and they have the right to regulate the tariffs on those roads. [ Applause ] , This convention should take measures to put that letter of Jeremiah Black in the hands of every intelligent farmer in the state. [ Applause ] There can be no doubt aa to the right of the legislature over the rail roads within the state. If the legal right is there to remedy these evils , is it not right that the people who have donated lands and money enough to build the U. P. and B. & M. roads aye , two or three times the amount necessary to do it is it not equitable and just that we should exercise that right ? [ Applause. ] It is not contem plated by the farmers of Nebraska to Institute any measures unfriendly to the interests of the roadi. We are not communists ; w'e are ndt revolu tionists we are law-abiding men , and demand that these railroads shall abide by the law. [ Applause. ] The wajto regulate this matter _ is to have an expression of sentiment ifa every county in the state at once , and every member instructed by his con stituency to pass measures tending to correct these evils. This must be de manded at the bands ot the legisla ture and such demand must be en forced. [ Applause. ] The time is coming when the fate of the legislator who betrays the people on this ques tion will be like that of Judas , who betrayed hia Master for thirty pieces of silver. [ Applause. ] The report of the committee on constitution fora permanent farmers' alliance was presented and adopted , and the convention , at 11 p. . , - journed until 8 o'clock this morning. TO-DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. The committee on permanent organ ization reported the following as PERMANENT OFFICES ! of the Alliance : E. R. Ingersoll , of Johnson , presi dent ; G. H. Gale , W. W. West , Allen Root , George Liebert , J. J. Seville , and D. Hale , vice presidents ; J. Bur- ows , secretary , and W. A , Town. Adopted , and the vote of the conven- ion for eaid officers was cast by the ocrctary. RINGING RESOLUTIONS were then adopted by the assemblage , aa follows ! Whereas , It is notorious that the railway corporations operating rail roads under national and state char- .era . , in the state of Nebraska , have ibused the privileges conferred upon , hem as public cirriurs , by fhgrant discriminations againt persons and lo calities , by oppressive exaction of oils , by favoritism , by watering of > tocks and pobliilg of carninga and a total disregard of the requirements of our conatitlon , which in sections 1 and 7 of article 11 , reads as follow. ? : "Section 1. Every railroad corpor ation organized or doing buaineai in this state under the laws or authority tlitreof , or of any other state , or cf the tJnited States , shall have and maintain a public office or place in this state for the transaction of iu bu i- less , where transfers of stock sha'l ' be made , nud in which ehall be kept , for public inspection , books in which shall bo recorded the amount of capital stock subscribed , and by whom , the names of the owners of its stock , and the amounts owned by them respec tively , the amount of stock paid iu , and by whom , the transfers of said ttock , the amount of its assets and liabilities , nnd the names and pUceo of tosldenca bi its officers. . The difec- toro of every railroad corporation , or other parties having control of its road , shall annually make a report , undur oath , to the auditor of public accounts , or aouio other officer to be designated by law , of the amount re- hbd from frasSengcra and freight and euch other matters relating to railroads as may be prescribed by law. And the legislature shall pass laws en forcing by suitable penalties the pro visions of this section. " "Section 7. The legislature shall piss laws to correct abu es nnd pre vent unjust discrimination and extor tion in all charges of express , telegraph - graph , and railroad companies in this state , and enforce sucli laws by ade quate penalties , to the extent if nec essity for that purpose , of forfeiture of their property and franchises. " Therefore be it , by the Farmer's Alliance of Nebraska , Resolvei , That the legislature of 1881 is respectfully requested to piss laws to enforce these constitutional provisions , by providing adequate pen alties for their violation. Mesoltcd , That the extortionate bridge tolls exacted by the Union Pa cific Railroad company at Omaha , and the Burlington & Missouri Railroad at Plattsmotith , for transferring freight and passengers across the Mis souri river is a serious drawback to the growth and prosperity of the statoResohcd Resohcd , That these companies , having been endowed by the national government and aided by liberal don ations of bonds and lands by our own statij , have received ample companaa- tion for the extra outlay in construct ing those bridges ; and we demand , on behalf of the producers of this state that the tolls over these bridges be reduced to mileage rates by the res pective roada. -Rc olrc < f. That the best interest of the northwest demands that the na tional congress at Washington take immediate mcasuroa toward the open ing and improvement of the Missouri river , so that the said river shall be come one of the highways for freight transportation and travel. Resolved , That we respectfully re quest the present .legislature of the state of NebrafkaTto memorialize the congress of the United States to pats such laws as will secure the speedy improvement of the Missouri river and mileage tales over the bridges across said river. Ecaohcd , That we , the farmers of Nebraska , and members of the several alliances and farmers' clubs of the state declare ourselves absolved from all party allegiance in BO far ai they conflict with our interests as farmers and produces and pledge ouraelvOi to labor for the nomination and election to office of men identified with us in interest without regard to party affil iations. "Whereas , Certain parties are try ing to eeize the public domain dedi cated to-homestead privileges in the wes'crn part of our state to be used aa a stock range ; therefore , "He&olvcd , That our legislature should pass a suitable law for the pro tection of homesteaders from the de struction of their crops by stock , and to memorialize congress to not take the lands in the western part of th state , devoted to homestead purposes , out of the market and convert them into a great stoclr range to bo used by corporate capital. "Hesolvd , That the papers of Ne braska are requested to publish the full proceedings of this convention , in cluding the constitution and resolu tions. Adopted. "Resolvtd , That the secretary of this alliance is hereby instructed to furnish a copy of these resolutions to the president of the senate and speak er of the houjo of representatives of Nebraska , and also to furnish a copy to each member of the present legis lature.
