A Heavy Damage Suit for Per
sonal Injuries.
A the approaching term of the
district court draws near quite a num
ber-of new and Interesting actions
are being commenced , every day see
ing new petitions filed with the clerk
of the district court , Mr. Vi. H.
IjamB. These include esses of every
sort , from debt to divorce , as well as
damage suits , which are often of colos
sal proportions. As oar reporter was
taking a note of some of these cases
an attorney who was in the office re
marked that while the public was ac
customed to treat divorce sui'B
with considerable leyity , yet
to him they were the saddest
of all catea that could bo brought in
to court. While there Is much truth
in this statement , yet on the other
hand it is not generally BO regarded by
the parties themselves , who prefer ade-
cree of reparation to a life whose hap
piness mast be snatched at brief in
tervals between blows or blasphemy ,
or in the absence of one of the par-
tie i nobody knows where doing some
thing nobody knows what. This
brings OB directly to the subject of dlj j
Vorco suitp , and the following ate t
noted among the. casei docketed fcr .
trial at the February term :
ABUSED AND ABANDONED.
Laura Holier files her petition ask
ing to be divorced from her husband ,
Elward A. Keller , and to have the
custody nf their two small children.
S10 alleges that he abused her from
time to time by the use of vile Ian-
guige and in February last abandoned
her , leaving her without money , focd
or fuel to take cire of their two
children , and that einco that time ho
has wholly refused to aid in support
ing their family. Their marriage
occurred Jnne29lb , 1877 , in Sannders
county. Messrs. Webster and Gay-
ord are the plaintiff's attorneys.
HE AOAINbT HER.
JoBhtn N. Gottmannehausen wants
to bo separated from his wife , Thereto
AugUitj Gottmannshausen , who is
alleged to haye forsaken his bed and
boird July 22,1878 , without cauee.
The partloi were married in February ,
1872 , in Klcinmoslen , Sichen Weim
ar , Germany. The defendent is a
non-resident. Homer Stull appears
for the plaintiff.
FKOJI HAVES' DISTBIOT.
Frank B. Deminc cues for di
vorce from his wife , Yirginh Dm-
ing , to whom he was united
in binds of holy wedlock August 16th ,
187G , at Columbians , Ohio. The de
fendant , who is a non-resident , is
charged with abandoning her liege
lord , without any good cauio four
years ago the 29th of this month , and
the continued absence having grown
monotonous Air Deining rery natural
ly asks to have the ties legally severed.
A. L. Hobison is his attorney.
THE \VTFE AGAIN.
In Chatauqua county , N. Y. , Nov.
24tn , 1870 , Charles H. Harris was
married. March IGth , 1878 , he says
his wife abandoned htm , leaving him
with cue child , now cis years of age.
His wife , Alice J. Harris , ia a non
resident , and Mr. Harris asks for a
divorce and the custody of the child.
A. L. Robison appears for the plain
tiff in this case.
DIVOHCE AND ALIMONY.
Elizibo'.li Nickle by Smythe aud
T.ite , her attorneyscomplains against
her husband William Kickle , and
says that they were married Juno
19.h , 1879 , in the city of Omaha.
Her husband was at the time of their
marrlago fifty-seven years old and had
beau married before , having three
ch Idron , aged respectively fourteen ,
ebven and eight years. He
installed her among his Lares
an ! Penates , as his wife and the step
mother of his children. For a titae
all went smoothly it couldn't have
bjon very long , but her husband was ,
she says , close aud penurious , and
was given to favoring the children at
the expense of the affection and con
sideration due his wife. She also says
thai the children wcro envious of her
and that before the honeymoon was
properly over , to-wit : in about three
months , they began a eystcmatic
courae of abuse of their step-mother ,
altho igh she was at ell times faithful
and dutiful to the entire family. Her
husband too prow cold and Indifferent ,
bat she remained until October 8th ,
1S79 , when ha was forced to leave on
account nf the children. Subsequent
ly eh 3 asked permission to return but
WAS refu ed admittance to the
home and was further informed
that she was not wanted there. Since
that time she has worked and sup
ported herself , and the defendant haa
failed to provide for her at all. She
charges him further with extreme
cruelty , and , a ? ho is worth considera
ble jnoaey , asks the court that she b.i
divorced with alimony.
TEX THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Among the damage suits begun in
the district court is thst of Mary
Sylvester vj. the city of Omaha. The
details of the accident which is the
origin of this suit and which were
; lven ia full at the time are , briefly ,
; hat on the 29th day of November ,
1830 , the plaintiff , who lived at the
Star Honee , on Harncy street , near
L3ib , was going Lome about nine
o'clock in the evening : aud just in
front of Stjele & Johnson'-a block
stepped into a hole that had b en
carelessly covered over with thin
boards. The fall broke her tight
limb at the kcea joint and broke the
znee cap. Snce that time the
plaintiff has been confined to her bed
and suffered a great deal besides be
ing unibla to work aud support her
self as was her custom to do. She
haa also expended lar.'e sums of
money for nursing aud medical at
tendance , and now prays the court
for a judgement against the city of
Omtha for $10,000 damages. Col. E.
F. Smythe appears for the plaintiff.
REDICK'S I&ACEET.
Another Interesting damage suit ia
\hat of John I. Redicfc against the
American Union telegraph company.
The plaintiff in this case asks the
court for a judgment for § 1,406 25
and interest from January 4th , on the
grounds that the company on that
date failed to transmit promptly a dis
patch involving an important wheat
transaction In Chicago in which the
plaintiff was interested and upon
which he lost a considerable sum.
The details of this case are long and
will be uninteresting to the general
reader. Ghaa. R , Redick is the at
torney in this cue.

LINCOLN , Neb. , January 13 4 p.
m. The contested seats of Paxiou

mittee on privileges and elections this
forenoohr The teitimony is all in
favor of the correctness of the official
count , and details the suspicious cir
cumstances which tend to prove that
the package containing the ballots
mutt have been opened. The com
mittee , by a vote of four against
three , decided te report In favor of
Paxton and McShane. Linn ( chair
man ) , Kak-y , Franze and Hull man
voted aye , and Root , Baldwin and
Silver voted no. Upon the
suggestion nf several members of the
c .mmittee , tha billotfl are being
counted to sitisfy thencuriosity. .
This will net likely interfere with the
decision already made.
Several bills were introduced in the
house this forenoon , but none of im

POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
How the News of Gould's
Telegraph Scheme is
Received.
The A. & P. Company and the
district Telegraph Sys
tem.
The new which was received in
this city Wednesday bytelegram , that
the Western Union , American Union
and Atlantic aud Pacific telegraph
companies had passed entirely Into the
control of Jay Gould and would be
consolidated upon a certain basis ,
with eighty million dollars' capital ,
created a sensation among the man
agers and employes of the three great
companies in this city.
It was a very unexpecttsd piece of
news , and although the majority be
lieved there was something in it , oth
ers did not give full credence to the
report. A BEE reporter called on
two or three uromlnont telegraph of
ficials , and although they all expressed
Ignorance of what the facts might be
in the case , their opinions varied as
to the result.
CoL J. J. Dickey , of the American
Union , who arrived from Chicatjo on
the morning train , said that the Chicago
cage officials .were as much surprised
as those in Orxnha , the no < rs received
by them b ing about the same as that
which reached Omaha. Having had
no intimation of any such move , Gen.
Anson Stager and other prominent
telegraph managers wire inclined
to doubt the reported consolidation.
While bo was loathe to expr jes any
opinion about a matter that he really
mew nothing nf , Mr. Dickey said he
was inclined to differ with the opinion
above expressed. He thought that
the report was probably correct in th'e _
main.
main.Mr.
Mr. A. J. Poppleton , who ha * had
much to do with the litigation which
las been going on ever since the West
ern Union sprang full panoplied in
the field ; and began tha battle , waa
confident thai the consolidation of
; he companies waa a fixed fact , though
the basis of such connolidaticn may
not be correctly stated.
Manager Rhecm , of the American
Union office , thinks the consolidation
a a fact , but saja it will not affect
Dmaha for three or four months ) at
least. He thinks that the reported
scheme of turning the whole tele-
r nh system over to the government
ii a very probable outcome of the
matter , as all charters and
franchises are obtained under the laws
regulating postofGoes and peat roatlsi
The postal telegraph system would in
this case be introduced probably , and
the public bo great gainers thereby ,
as uniform rates would then be main
tained , whereas under the present
system they are always fluctuating.
In regard to the employes he thought
all would be provided for.
Manager Armstrong , of the Atlantic
and Pacific was reticent upon
the eubject , but wo gathered
from his talk that he did
not believe the report entirely. If
negotiations have been going on since
January 3d , as reported , he thinks
they would not have continued send
ing supplies up to the last minuteanc ,
only this morning he received a large
amount of material and supplies for
putting , i t once , the Metropolitan
District telegraph system at work ir
Omaha.
Manager Armstrong said that if the
consolidation was ilF-.ctcd it woulc
throw out of employment several
thousand operators throughout the
country and cause great suffering. I
would be the survival of the fittest
then to a large extent.
Manager Curry of the Western
Union was not in when our reporter
called. Several other prominent tele
graphers were interviewed and the
general tenor of the talk is that il the
consolidation is cnnsuramated it wil
not effect many offices befoie spring
and then would probably create a new
revolution in the telegraph business
aud facilities throughout the country.

HELP AT HOME.
The Annual Report of the
Ladies' Relief Society.
A Worthy Cause to Contri
bute to. ,
As the almoners of the benevolent
people of Omaha , the Ladies' Relief
Society presents the annual report of
its work for the year just ended. The
society desirea also to mate grateful
mention of the continued confidence
which the public reposes in its officers
and members. This trust has been
manifested in various ways during tha
past yuar , [ and recently by the city
council in acting favorably upon the
petition of the ladies asking for a
donation of land on which to
place a permanent "Home , "
should it bo deemed expedient and
possible to erect one. Thii question ,
still under advisement by the society ,
must be hastened slonly to a conlu
sion. The cost must ba well con
sidered , lest haply after laying the
foundation and beginning to build we
should not be able to finish. The
work of the society has always been
greatly hindered by lack of pecuniary
mean * , but it has yearly done what it
could , and though it may not seem a
great work to many it is surely no
little thing to send warmth and com
fort to so many of the cold and com
fortless homes of taa city , .
The charities of thu people have
been well dispensed th last year ,
inasmuch a ? all applications for aid
have been veil investigated , the I
homes of the des'itute nave been !
visited , and , as far as possible , ail op
portunities for doctptlon have been j
precluded. Oaring to the intense
cold the demands upon the oociety j
have been ruoro frjquent and urgunt j
than usual , and the \diea 1 are beset on I
every uida with crtea fr help and }
succor. Supplies of food fuel and
clothing have baun distributed tttiekly
to the numerous families who have
applied for thisr aid during the cold
months just past , while many have
been supplied with household
articles such as atoves , bei and bed- I
'
clothing. In some instances persons
bavo been aided to get half faro tick- !
et& oVerrailrnada ; o go to riendu , and
when no such aid could oe prociired
the society did not hesitate to furnish
, ho requisite means. Others have
> een assisted by mnjnVers to find work
n the city , while { .till oihe > s wnoso
cases the society did rot ferlble to
naterUlly aid hava been laid before

In conclusion , while the society is
especially grateful for the means al
ready put at its disposal , the ladies
constituting the society deaire to re
mind the public that to cwry on the
work of a charitable institution such
as they represe'nt , a constant drain Is
made upon tha treasury , and if a
corresponding increase is not realized ,
the work dregs and becomes burden
some. The present , the beginning of
a new year , with the prospect of a
long winter , is a fitting time for
the hand of charity to reach out
more indiscriminately and replenish
the needy coffers of a society that haa
always responded to the importunities
of the nnmberlets and helpless poor
of Omaha , whose distressing poverty
and friendless condition none can
understand except those who have
come in personal contact with the
same. The smallest with the largest
contribution may be the means of
greatly relieving the most acute suf
fering and even saving life.
