LINCOLN , F-bruwy 3. The nil-ab

road question. The member.- , who

' * * ' * *

Unco that is sure io sweep monopo
liuj from political control in this state'
aud such as do not wear the brass col
lar , or ha-p tTeari tanipere&jjiith by
the railroad lobby manifest a disposi
tion to respond to the popular demand
for relief. There are already a dozen
bills on the railroad question before
both houses , exclusive of joint res-jlu-
tun * and memorials to congress ,
praying for national legislation.
SouiO of tbo bills introduced were
dbnbtleis\ gotten up."by tbo j railroad
managers and jpuV ; ra th'efl hands "of
cappers whom 4tSe people have , EO
far , no reaao'n'ib saspec't of infidelity.
Amonc tbo first bills introduced in ,
the honse , looking- the" repeal of
the present law that exempts ( hu prop
erty of railroad companies from loci !
taxetioL , was ono by "At Br a'cH , of
Douglas , and an another by Mr.Hoot ,
of Cass Both these billsuimpubslr.'i
tially at the same thinir , an'd bnth of
them fell far snort of whit the people
have a ris'ht to insist on and the c m-
atituti < n of this a'aie intended t'ould
bo the law. Our constitution no
where drws a distinction between
the property of railroad c-irp.ir tions
and the property of other corpora
tions or the ptoparty of mdividuils.
Taxation' midair uu'c con-'titution waste
to be uuiform npunall cla--a j of prop
erty , and taxation c niu t be uniform
as long m the property of railroads is
c seet-oi Jn a different manner from
tint of all oh"r ? property. Tha so-
called statis b > : ir < l of nqu.liznttoi
ought to be ca''lel ' the statti b ard of
dtscritninat'on. ' This boird , made up
of throa men , two bei ga majority ,
dojs not pretend to equalize the as-
su'smenta made , . , by 1 'CM awtsorg ,
but it acts & 3 n s stor of tha property
rind fixes arbitrary values upon
depots , depot grounds , rights of wiy ,
and railroad tracks , without ever in
spieling the property or taking p'.ins
o ascertain what that property is
worth The corAtitution requin s not
only th ? aiatisament f property but
also of the franchises owned , by cor-
u rations or individuals The frati
chise of the railro-ida ard worth more
than their real estate , rollinu stock
and tracks. That ia tbo iudenuut of
cipitali-ts on Wall street , who pay
more than par for the stocks of rail
roads whose real estate , rolling stock
aud tracks are known to be uibrtga cd
for more than their fullvaluoi' b'ut the
Nebr ska State B &rd of Dii-crirnin-
ti'in has no' only ignored the v luo of
franchise of railroad property , but has
fixec1 arbitrary values on tbeir properly ,
in BOino ina'ancea not one hundredth
of-the ac'ual vain-1 of such
t nrt pr p-
crty , and whi\t the people-of Nebraska
detbaud nw , and what tn'oy will in
sist trii befo'e ey gi * 'Tirigh with

[ presume , however , that such
all ! ciuni-llteg 't throus-h the present
legislature , n.ciiiily because members
are disposed to consult thu wishes of
the monopoly niaiugors ji go. d do l
mara t'lun the uterests of their cou-
etitaents. Mr. Ur-iatch , ' who , as' ; I
mentioned .above , had introduced'th _
firsV bill in ; hc pr ctr..t L.-ilaiure ,
rreated quite R furprieo yes'erdny by
proposing the substitution of a bill he
had trqupht from Omah < i in the place
of the ono ho had introduced on the
firxt d y of tbe session. The now
bill wae printed on a railroad type
writer , aud a slnree nt this bill con
vinced me ibnt Mr Bmatch bad been
inii-osed ou in his anxie'y to pletee
b-iththe railroad maingers and his
constituents. Thtreis a hg ! nlpger
In that wnod pile , ia the sba : a ot a
ten-acre exemption clause. The bill
proposes to include ten acres of depot
ground at o ch s utton with the rail
road tracks snd riahrof way to bo * s
eeeeed , at heretofore , by the state
board of equalization. The outcome
of ibis bill would be that the railroads
would stake thei- depot buildings ,
round-houses , nd oUinr valcnble
structures thatcovt-r'hedflpotgrounds
at eaoh station , and include them in
tbe teu acres exempted from local tax-
aMen That would , of course , exempt
the Omaha depot , the new depot and
atii g house at Lincoln , ard , for
that matter , every depot Jn t'io state ,
of Nebraska. If Mr. Bro ch under-
utonri this to bo the ou'C"ra < ! of his
bill , bo would hardly feel like father
ing it.

ing such cases.
There is a bill pending in the house ,
intn-ducud by Mr. Caie , which his a
great deal cf , merit , aud ought to past.
I'ho title of the bill is , "An act'to prevent -
vent C'Xt'-rtion.and "unjust , diaurimiua-
tion in the rates charged for the trans
portation of passengers and freights on
Vtilroads in this state , and to pun-
'idh tha same. " Sectan ! one delinoa
extortion. Section two , unjuat dis
crimination. Section three prohibits
transportation comp nie3 for charging
higher rates for" b shorter distance
than for a longer distance for any glv-
en clasa of freight or given quantity of
merchandise. It prohibits rebates
i.nd drawbacks r.nd special favoritism ,
providoO , however , that nothing there
in contained shall be so construed to
prevent railro&d cotnpaneis from is
suing commutation , excursion or
1000-mile tickets. Section four pro
vides a penalty for extortion and dis
crimination in the transportation of
crs , receiving handling or delivering
of freight For the firot offense t.here
ii a fine of not Kss than § 1000 ; for the
econd offense nut loss than 83000 ;
for the third oflenpe not leas than
$6000 ; and for every subsequent of
feuse not loss than 810,000. Thu fifth
section provides that these fines shall
ho reci verud in thu mme of the people
ple of the stUo of Nebraska , and there
may be several counts j u'ned in the
s -ine declaration a's to extortion aud
discrimination. If , ' 'upon tml , the
jury shall find for the people , they
sh.ill as33 in their verdict the amount
of fine to be imposed , and the court
shill decrpe accordingly. The re
mainder of thu sec1 ion defines the
findings of juries in ense nf repeat
ed olfonscs. The mxth toction
grants t' > indiviiituU or corporations
upon < vhom extortion or discrimina-
tum has been practiced , three tunes
ti.e amount of dimaqo sustained by
the party aggrieved , together with
the costs nf snjt and a reasonable at
torney'a fee. The seventh nnd eighth
* ections define the duties of railroad
commissioners in prosecuting violators

with authority to enforce the 9 me.
[ ilr. Bahc ck evidently aneumcd that
thcrs was to be a railroad commission ,

amended &o as to provida for the elec

election of 1881 ]
There are two other railroad bills in
.which laborers and mechanics employ
ed by railroad ceniractars are Inter-
e'tfd. Mr. Ftlley'a bill gives r.ny la
borer upon a railroad , canal , viaduct
or bndgo , employed by subcontractors
ors a lien upon the railroad ,
bridge or canal ; also parties who fur
nish the material Lr ench improve
ments. The bill further provides the
method to bepnrsuert in. enforcing such
lien. Ir. Slocuml/s bill rt quire *
railroad contractors and railroad
sub-contractors to give bonds to
the railroad fnrtho
companies pay
ment t > f wages due , and ouch bond
shall he filed in the county clerk's
office. If tt o railroad company fails
to t ke tha bond it becomes directly
liable for payment of laborers.

p. m The steam ycht ' 'Csrrio , " of
Havre DJ Graoj , owned by Mr. W.
T Whitman , of Phihdelnhia , ex-
ptoded her boiler at 11:30 : o'clock lot
night , while lying at Ohaao whirr , at
the foot of Oarold street , at Fella
Point. The npper part of the boat
was totally destroyed , and four men
were killed. The owner of the yacht
was not in the cily , and her com
mander , Capt. H J. .fophr , was iu
Havre Da Graca , where ho lives. It
ii known that about 9 o'clock last
night there ware on board the "Car
rie , " Mo3ar3. Edward Poplar and H
J Poplar , sons of the captain , &g < ? d
respectively 22 and 19 ye rs , Josup'h
Brown , " an employee on the yanht ,
and the colored steward , named Ellis.
The boiler exploded with terrible
force , the noise being heard for n
great -distance around , and the con-
cuaaion breaking the glass in some of
the bnats lying no ir by. The debris
from the wreck was strewn over the
wharf , Rnd the yacht had sunk along
stdo of it , The boiler had been
thrown against the wall of a ware
house , rt fi-ty feet distance , and all
the upper dock and engine house had
1 33 torn oft" The case of a silver
wa-ch belonging to ono of the cap
tain's eons , was found on the wharf.
It is not known hnw the explosion took
place. It is conjectured that the fire
man had ellowed the steam to go
down , and some of the pipes leading
to the bailer had become frozen. On
getting on board they probably in-
cre.isett the fire in order to heat the
vessel , nd the fatal explosion occurred
after they had all retired to rest.
The two young Poplars lived with
their father in Havre Do Grace.
Joseph Brown , who was 31 years of
aga lived in Havro Do Grace , where
he haJ-n wife end family. Eilu , the
colored steward , belonged in this city.
The "Oarrie" h d been at the port
ibout throe weeks. She iras origin
nllv built for h tug boat , but had been
purchased and handsomely Stted up
fur a yacli : , and used chiefly fir duck-
ahooMiig. No sarilus injury ws
dona attbo v/hr.rf o > r to thuvesnelfi
lying near by. The bodies of Edward
Poplar and Joseph Brown wore te-

p. m. Mrs. Cathcrina Millerand Geo.
N. Smith , the murderers of Andrew
Miller , the husband of the woman ,
wera hanged here to-day. The mur
der was a moat brutal one , and the
case has attracted a great denl of at
tention through this portion o $ the
stato. The board of pardnna reviewed
the case carefully , and found nothing
to warr.uit Interference. Both cul
prits had prepared themselves for final
exit. Mrs Miller received the rite of
baptism from Rev. Bridal , who ad
ministered the last words of consola
tion to Smith also. Mrs. Miller made
a statement yesterday , in which she
solemnly declares that she had
no hand in the commission of the
crime , but Smith made a full confea
nlon , in which tie said the woman sat
at the window with a light to give him
the signal. It was in the honsa that
she furnished the rope to hang him up
after he had bean killed , and that she
had proposed to him before she gave
him the rope , that the murdered man
be throwr into a well. " The two were
hinged at 11:20 : a. m. Both prisoners
pasaed the night comfortably , and
expressed themselves ready to die. .
Both made confessions on the scaffold
Smith admitted to the killing of Mil
ler by striking him with a club , and
than hanging him up in a barn. He
claimed the womMTpersuaded him to
do the deed , and furnished him with
an apron to wipe the Blood from the
door. Mrs. Miller , in her confession ,
said she tried to dissuade Smith from
killing her husband. ' She made a
will , givin.- ; her silver natch to her
oldest daughter , and , , a few Binill
trinkets to the other children. 'Smith
also made a will , dividing his small
personal effects botwoan his
two little brothers. Both wills
were regularly drawn up by an
attorney. The weather was intensely
cold , and both prisoners shivered on
the scaffold. Mrs. Miller tottered up
the steps supported by two deputies
amid groans and cries. Smith was
firm , and bid good-by to all around
him. Both their necks were broken
by the. fall , and death was almost In
stant. The relatives .of Mrs. Mtllor
received her body and will bury it by
the side of her murdered husband.
Smith's brother took charge of his
body , and will hive him baried ac
cording to the rites nf the Lutheran
church. About ouo hundred and fifty
persons witnessed the execution , and
hundreds were collected outside and
around the jail in the streets.

fixing the nrmberof members at 301.
Mr. Shcrwiu , of Illinois , \vaa in
favor of fixing the number at 319.
At either 310 or 311 the gains would
bo to the advantage of tha demo
cratic states , while at 310 the certainly
democratic states wouid gain 13 , and
the "certainly republican states 13.
Mr. Oonloy , of New York , opposed
an enlargement of the number of rep
resentatives.
Mr. Thompson , of Kentucky , ar
gued pgunst inserting the clause in
the bill requiring congressional dis
tricts to be contiguous. That was a
mittor for tbe states to regulate for
themselves. He favored large legisla-
lutive bodies as being more certain to
protect the people against the greed
of corporations.
r. Hoar , of Michigan , argued in
favor nf a representation based upon
\oto-s , and taking a northern state ,
he compared their relative votes , and
unjued that it required more votes to
send a northern representative to con-

Taking the votes cist nt the last elec
