* THE MACJIC WIRE ,
Organization of Additional
Telephone Systems in Ne
braska and the West.
Distant Cities Brought in Con
tact by Telephone Con
nections.
The progress which has been made
in the last few months in the develop
ment of telephone exchanges in the
cities is remarkable , and especially is
this the case in the west
where with characteristic en
terprise and liberality every city
of-Importance has come to consider it
indispensable. Mr. Frank B. Knight ,
western inspector of the Bell Tele
phone companyglves some interesting
particulars of the growth of tne telephone -
-phone system. Mr. Knight simply
renresents the interests of his company
in the west , but has no authority over
the telephone companies , "who operate
their own exchanges. The telephones ,
however , are owned by ihe Bell com
pany , who receive a direct rental from
every instrument , and are interested
in seeing that every exchange is well
kept up , that its telephones are prop
erly cared for and understood , and
that the interests of the manufactur
es are protected. Mr. Knight's ter
ritory includes Michigan , Wisconsin ,
Minnesota , Kansas , Missouri , Ne
braska , Colorado , Idaho , Montana ,
Wyoming and Utah. His headquart
ers will be in Chicago.
Many new telephone enterprises
are on foot in the west That of most
interest In Omaha is the contemplated
organization of a company here for
the building and operating of ex
changes at Fremont , Columbus , Grand
Island , Kearney , North Platte and
XJheyenne , which townsare * at present
without telephone systems. What
gives added interest to the organiza
tion of auch a company is
the fact that , It Is becoming
the regular thing to connect neigh
boring towns , even though a hundred
miles apartjby telephone wires , which
make the systems virtually one. This
is especially the case in the east. One
company control ! the exchanges of
Hartford , Now Haven , and all the
principal cities of Connecticut , which
are like wise connected together , the
wires extending over distances vary
ing from ten to one hundred miles.
Several distinct classes of telephone
systems are authorized , including the
establishment cf exchanges , the erec
tion of private lines , the erection of
club'lines , the speaking tube bnaineEB ,
and the connecting of citiescallod"ex-
tra territory line business. " A strong
company has just been organized IB
Kansas for the operation of the .state
for all classes of business for which
licenses are not already granted. Such
Is the case also In other states and
where a telephone system has once
been set in-operation it has never been
discontinued "but has always developed
rapidly.

HIS LEG CUT OFF.
A Boy Playing About an En
gine at the U. P. Depot
Loses His Leg.
An Example to Boys Who Will
Climb on to Cars and
Engines.
Another example to boya who per *
slst In playing about engines and rail
road cars waa supplied yesterday after
noon , when a bright little fellow , nine
years old , lost his leg near the U. P.
depot.
The parents of the boy , whose name
[ s Henry Hntzfcrt , are extremely
poor , the father , who is a carpenter ,
being out of employment , as he has
been for some time. The boy Henry
was in the habit of gathering stray bits
of coal along < ho railroad hacks ,
spending some of his tune , boy like ,
playing with other gamins along the
track. About 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon he climbed on an engine on
the Tenth street track , and sat down
on the fore part of it. Suddenly the
engine started , throwing him from his
seat and catching hia right leg below
the knee , fairly amputating it and
splintering the bone badly. The right
fore wheel passed over it bofero the
engine was stopped. A wagon of the
Merchant's express standing at the
depot brought the mangled child to
Dr. Mercer's hospital on Harney
street The parents of the poor lad
were sent for , and the grief of his
mother on seeing her boy waa pitiable.
He looked a fine , rosy cheeked , healthy
little fellow , and bore his terrible
suffering with calmness and wonderful
pluck for one so young.
Dr. Mercer nursed the boy with
brandy and tea and other nourish
ment until the shock was bridged
over , when the boy was put under the
influence of an opiate. The leg was
then surgically treated and the boy
was put to bed.
THE STAGE.
Boshelle ia Evadne Attrac
tions of the Week.
Roshollo appeared at the Academy
of Music Monday to a house which
nearly filled the chairs , in the title
role of Sbiel'a fascinating play of
"Evadns. " Considering the fact that
this new aspirant for public favor had
visited Omaha but once , and then
played to empty benches , and that
her name and face are alike unfamiliar
tb our theatre goers , her reception
last night was most enthusiastic and
cordial.
Frequent outbursts of applause gave
evidence of the approval and appre
ciation of the audience , and at the
close of her third act she was enthusi
astically recalled to the stage.
Roshelle's performance at every
step recalls that of Mary Anderson ,
not , in our opinion , because she at
tempts to copy Anderson , or forms
the same conception of the part of
Evadne , but because her face , and her
voice in its lower tones , bear at times
a striking resemblance to the great
Mary.
To complete the resemblance there
were visible also some of the crudities
and inequalities which mar Miss
Anderson's performances. Hero the
resemblance ends. Roshelle is
large , but of perfect form , naturally
slow of movement , and when quick
not always graceful. Mary Anderson
is tall , lithe and willowy , and mars
her performance often by defects of
voice , never by awkwardness of move
ment.
But Roshollo has geniui which
vitalizes and elevates the play , and
makes the defects of her acting ap
pear small and trifling. She is , we
believe , destined to become a greater
actress than Mary Anderson.
The support was as a whole excel
lent , Mr. H W. Mitchell , In the part
of "Oorinne , " making a marked'suc-
ceas , while Mr. Krone's "Imdovlco"
was a fine impersonation.

A CONTBACTORS SUICIDE.
The Result of Business Diffi
culties.
A man named Msrston , living near
the B. fc M. railroad , committed sui
cide on Sunday last , being driven
thereto by business difficulties. It
appears he had contracted for the sale
of a quantity of corn , and had
been unable to fill his contract.
In order to relieve himself he sold
certain personal property , which was
already mortgaged , and ooon found
bimself likely to be in a still more un
pleasant position. He decided at last
to bid farewell to the scene of his
troubles and go elsewhere , but his wife
refuted to accompany him. Suddenly
tie disappeared from the house , and
his wife suspected from his actions
that he had been taking poison , and
when he was at last found in the open
air he was in an unconscious condition ,
andMied within four hours afterward.
The poison was in the form of arsenic ,
which waa taken In port wine. The
bottla was found and an analysis
proved that it contained an ounce of
arsenic. About half a swallow cf the
liquid had been drunk by the deceased.
Sheriff Cutler , of Plattsmouth , con
ducted the Inquoat and a verdict was
rendered by the jury in accordance
with the above facts. The deceased
left a wife and a child four mouthaold.

ST. PATRICK'S TWINS.
flagman Casey Becomes a
Double-Bre'asted Father ,
andMayor Ohase Visits
the New Arrivals.
This is the season when politicians
indulge in the corporeal works of
mercy , not because it is Lent , nor
that past offences call for these pen
ances , but because that the Ides of
election time soto "speak are
approaching.
Everybody knows Flagman Casey ,
at the Tenth street crossing. Flag
man Casey ia considerable of a politi
cian , likewise considerable of a fath
er. Early on the morning of St. Pat
rick's day Mrs. Flagman Casey pre
sented her husband with bouncing
twins. There was withal-a slight
disappointment connected with the
event. Mr. Casey , meeting his fel
low-statesman , the Hon. Barney
Shannon , assured him that triplets
had arrived. Later in the day Mr.
Shannon visited the Casey family ,
and finding only a wee little boy and
girl , Inquired for the third. The
Father replied tbat it waa a slight
mistake in his calculations.
Now , Mayor Ohase , hearing of thesa
births , bethought himself as to how
be should put his official stamp of en
couragement upon the brow of Mr.
and Mrs. Casey. * There Is no provis
ion in our charter which allows the
mayor to make a pecuniary recognition
of the event , a ; in the British consti
tution , which allows the sovereign of
England to set apart as much as a
pound or two for bestowal upon moth
ers who may give birth to four or five
at a timo.
The mayor therefore decided upon
vlsit.to the domicile of the Caaeys ,
and on Sunday last his honor called.
The young Omahas.wore arraigned be
fore his honor aud received his bene
diction.
"Do you know , Casey , " said Mr.
Ohase , "they somehow remind me of
myself when I was young ! "
"Oh , thin , yer honor , " replied the
flagman , "I can subscribe to that same
mesclf , fur I always thought ye was
twins. There's the makin's of two in
ye , an' no mistake. " Whorenpop his
honor poked Casey in the ribs and
said he was a good "an.
This little episode created quite a
stir in the neighborhood , where 'it
soou got to be noised about that the
chief magistrate of the city was vis
iting Mrs. Casey. Quite a crowd gave
it as their opinion that a. man who
would do so thoughtful an act as the
mayor was then performing deserved
the lasting gratitude of the noble
First.
It Is said that the boy will be called
Patrick Chase Casey.
COUET HOUSE PLANS-
Candidates for the Favor of
the Commissioners.
Two of the Best Plans Come
from Omaha Architects.
The district court room resembles
at present the office of a government
architect. Plans , plans , plans are to
be seen in an abundance and variety ,
v/hich can only be appreciated when
seen. Broad tables have been formed
by extending wide boards over the
backs of the seats in the part of the
room outside the bar , and here are
displayed the plans of the architects
competing for the erection of Douglas
county's new court house. Resting
against the railing which separates
the legal fraternity from "tho vulgar
herd" are two mammoth elevations ,
one in a carved walnut frame being a
magnificent cut stone building , and
the other , in a frame of pllt , being a
plan of a superb brick building , with
trimmings of stone. On an adjoining
tabls is also a photograph of an eleva
tion ( accompanied by plans and speci
fications ) of a court house of cut stone ,
apparently intended for an architec
tural monument of no mean order.
Tim latter may ba safely said to be
the favorite , provided It could be built
for the sum specified by the county
commissioners. The figures accom
panying the specifications indicate
tbat it can be built for a sum consid
erably balow that named , but several
citizens have ventured the prediction
that it could not be bnitt for anything
like the sum , while one was confident
that the building could not bo erected
for leaa than half a million/ The
plans mentioned abjvo , however , are ,
in the opinion of the majority , little
if any , inferior to this. While the
name of the architect by whom any
particular plan is designed , Is supposed
to bo unknown to the county
commissioners and the public ,
the first two plans above
are by Omaha architects , whose pres
ence and manifest interest in their re
spective plans have made the names
of the architects well known to the
public and to the county commission
ers. It is well known that the plans
of the stone building are by Mr.Lirge ,
aud those of the brick by Mr Du
frone. The universal opinion is that
only the third phn , abovu referred to ,
can be considered in any way a rival
of the plans of the Omaha architects.
As stated in THE BEE yesterday ,
these plans are saventoen in number ,
and are submitted in response to the
offer by the county commissioners of
prizes 8300 , § 200 and 8100 to the
throe best of the rejected plans , while
the architects whoso plans are accapt-
ed , will bo proportionately well paid.
The limits placed by the county com
missioners on tha cost of the building
are a minimum of § 97,000 , and a ma *
imum of $141,000.
These plans aud specifications were
opened one week ago , all the county
commissioners being present , and
then giving them a careful examina
tion. Each plan boara a word of
identification , known as a motto , and
a sealed envelope containing the ar
chitect's mmg aud address , which is
t > bo opened only afte'r the awards
ere made. Mr. targe's plan bears the
motto , "Pro Bono Publico. " Mr.
Dufreno's the word , "Modern" ( being
modern in architecture ) , and the third
oao , above refirred to , the word "Ar
chitectnre. "
These plans are thrown open for in
spection again to-day , which , as at
present arranged by the commission
ers is the only opportunity the public
will have to paaa an opinion.
