She Jumps From a Balcony about tliirfy years of ' age , registered at the St. James hotel Sat urday evening , who at the tune was observed tt > be in a very excitable state of mind. She was , however , perfectly rational in her speech , and made arrangements for.fhe" morrow , when she was to resume her journey , her. destination * bting Fort' Uussell , within a mile or two of Cheyenne , where her husband is steward. She gave her name as Mary OTJricn , and was evidentlj * a Ia3y of refinement and education. ' She explained that she was to sec Major Furey , who would furnish her with transportation.t She expressed her desire to retire at once , and was shown to her room. A very short while after , the screams of a woman alarmed the neighbor hood , and instantly a body struck the sidewalk at the corner of the hotel , immediately under the balcony , which adorns the corner on the second story. When the woman was picked up she proved to be Mrs. O'Brien. Blood was pouring from her face , and she , was insensible. She was at once taken to her room , and Dr. Richard H. Darrow , whose office is opposite the hotel , was summoned to attend her. He found that she had struck on her head : There was a gash along side of the right eye penetrating to the bone , about an inch loug ; inside tlie nose there'was a' break , though no cut on the nose itself , and just below the lower lip a small piece of flesh was chipped out , but no teeth loosen ed. Dr. Darrow hastily stitched and dressed the wounds , during which the lady rcmainad insensible. By careful attention she was brought about , and yesterda3 * was able to give an account of the mystery , * It appears that' she started from Xew York city , and never having travpUed alone , was extremely timor ous of approaching the wild west. On the way- from "Chicago , she obs'erved two'men in the cars paying some at tention to her , which did not cease until the , train reached Council Blufls. There she was noticed to be in a great state of excitement , amounting almost to nervous inrostration. When slie rc- * T " * . tired to her Toom.slje .still imagined the men-were following .her , and _ was afraid to retire. While" washing ? her face and hands , she suddenly heard some one coming up the. stairs , and , as she said , she preferred to be killed by Jumping from the Window than to be murdered by the tw o men. That they intended to "murder her was her halu- cination , Possibly the -men had m real existence , the probability bein : that the long journey , in such wan : weather , had' affected her to tliis e tent. She was found to'be naturally of very nervous temperament. Yesterday she was -able to be re moved , and the authorities at Fort Omaha sent an ambulance aficr "her.

To the Editor of TUB BKE. When here a week or two ago , I read your article on the "Land-grab bers , " and think you spoke fearlessly and well , as far as you went but in my opinion you stopped too short. Xot only the landlords are to blame for their extortions , Tbut there seems to be a very carnival of high 'prices reigning here on everything. It costs one-third more to live in Omaha than New York city , ( where so many of the necessaries of life are shipped from here ! ) and at least one-fourth more than to Ih e in Chicago. Of course : Mr. Greeley's "young man" can come west , but when he is called upon to pay $40 per month for a dwelling house in a respectable loca tion , barely large enough for an ordin ary sized family , § 14. for a ton of coal , SLID to § 1.40 for a bushel of potatoes , and if he is alone , § 20 per month for a single furnished 'room , then he will wonder when the "grow ing up" process is to com mence These are only in stances ; nearly everything else seems lo be in the same proportion. I am credibly-informed'that the owner of a prominent business block up town hqs recently sent notice to his tenants of another raise , in consequence quence of which eve.y tenant in the block above the ground iloor says he will vacate before the first of the month ralher-than submit. A little judicious boycotting of this kind by a few other tenants and the landlords will bo brought to their senses , as their rapacity seems to be limited only by the endurance of the tenants. Surely a man must own a brewery , sell liquor , or be a "landgrabber" in order to live and pay these prices. This should noi to regarded as a min ing camp or new ol town , wliere peep - p e act on the princip'o that they mustsnalc'i every dollar they possibly can in the shortest time , and bo ready to "stand from under" in case of em ergency. Prices here are in advance'of anything ever experienced E.ist even in war times. Business men from t".o East seeking locations , have been frighten ed o"ut of to mi t/iw / ; prin / by the high prices. Now , who is to Mime , the "Landgrabbers' ' "or the 4'monopolists , " or bolh ? I have trav- o'ed'a ' lilt'c iu th'S country , on bolh coasts , and North and South t < > some extent , but I can say tliab in all my , ravels I don't think I ever saw a bet ter sight for ft magnificent city than riiht here in Omaha ; everything con sidered " laid out bel , neve" saw u cily ter. Olhors might not look at it in IL'c same light , buc it strike ? me as be'nga case where nature has provided nearly everything desirab'e to make a lich , lieallhy , and beauliful cily , but lhat some hi1 man influence was at work retarding. Is it not a shame to je teams stuck fast and wagons bro- [ 'etr-down in the m'dd'e ' of the most oniineut street ? But it is said there f | no money applicable lo repairing the steels , and tiat ! the old hunlen and obstructionists aclua'ly prevented the Legislature from giving the cily aulhorilies power to raise money to repair tl-e streets. How lorn ; wi'l ' it take thai spirit to build a large cily ? That is the same spirit that fought the building of the Pacific Rail Road and. fights creri/ ; / improvement wliich , /hen carried through , makes such men rich in spite of themselves. But why not do something with whatever money or material is applicable ? They say there is upwards of § 0,0001 think , on hand applicable to streets , which if judiciously used , might accomplish something. The wayfaring man may see in the high scLool yard on the hill a large pile of odds and ends of bro ken stone wliich appears to have been left over from some building , and seem to be of no earthly use except for the cliildren to scatter and shy down the hill. Now if some one would get out a search warrant and find the street commissioner , : vs I understand there is one appointed , it is possible he might be induced to take a team and fill up some of the deepest of the apparently "bottomless pits on Tie most frequented streets wit'i this refuse. Of course the sum spoken of seems to bo regarded by the mayor as nnierc baga- l-el'e ' and totally inadequate for street jiurrxwes , but even at Omaha prices i think a few teams could be hired four or five days for that much money and thus evince a disposition to do something. Then the walks in wet weather : But I must draw the line somewhere , and I can't do justice to the leading let the ladies tell about that , although they don't express many "cuss words" they can use some very vigorous language on that subject. Then there is the alleged police sitting around in the shade while men are knocked down and robbed on the public streets in broad-day light ! Wou'd it not bo cheaper to pay aTea- sonable tax for the support of an eUcient and adequate police force , rather than bo compelled to buy a 1-rge iron sofe , a big watch dog and gun , "and hire "ii private watchman ? Person and property are not safa litre alfprescnt , as witness the numerous burglaries and robberies of this spring I have heard a public lecturer declare from the platform here within a month , that ho had advertised a lecture exclusively for ladies , but that he had been informed by the ladies Mierally.thatlhey dare not. venture sut after dusk without a male escort , rifli streets and corners at that time ire filled with leering clouts and ihings ; and the average policeman is a nrmi aris ; and , like the street officers , 5 remarkable for .vhat he don't see. I tvould not set up for a public censor > r critic br any means , but' simply as i "looker dh" in "Venice * " and don't Jiink it docs any particular harm for inyof us to "sec cursel's" as ithcrs ee us" occasionally. Tlie young and enterprising business Tien should come to the front and or ganize methods of public improvement f they would have a thriving city lere. I know of cities east that have 3een vastly improved by voluntary issociatioiis , that don't mix in politics > r city offices , but simply act aa xmimittec of the best citizens , to in- ; luce capital and enterprise to locate , ntroduco strangers seeking-locations o leading businessmen , and assist in tusing any needed capita for manu ; facturing and other enterprises , so that a stranger would not be obliged ' all with tei to eover a.c'urner lot over dollar gold pieces before he could get a civil answer. I recall an instance where three or four large manufacturing and oilier enterprises were ptartSd through U } ' tllb elforts of suoh an association , and the property in all that section o the city Increased in value about fifty per cent hi less than two years. Such an .association costs nothing to organize or act ; they simply bring the right parties t < Jo tiler , aim assists in finding suitable locations , and means when necessary , for proper enterprises. Who will be the first to more } n tbe brHdhi&Uibit of tlte S'bnia1ldlnd trial and Improvement Association , " for the Banner city o' the west ? Let a few practical steps bo taken in this direction and in a few years , when you have a splendid city of 75,000 pop- ula''on here , sofar from beiH tender to any railrwad as charged by some- you will see the railroad magnates coming , hat in hand , asking favors. If you will indulge me in a single re mark further I would say in regard to Council Bluffs , that I think the Omaha papers give that unfortunate takes themtoplaces where CounclBlufls place too much free advertising ; they should recol'eci that their circulation is never heard of. Through the east the directions are : ' 'Go to Omaha and take the Union Pacific , " and in California and the west : "Take the Union Pacific to Omaha , and one of three routes to Chicago. " The farce of making the terminus over lliere , will play itself out , in fact it will be roared off the stage. I would speak of the place when it is at it beil ; , not when it is afloat. As far i"31 have talked with "prospec tors , " their experiences over there has been about the same as my own viz : "I came , I saw , I went away as soon as possible ! " The curses loud and deep , that de layed travelers daily shower on that village , are enough to sink it deeper than it is. They suppose that the place is someway responsible for the terminus fraud. Therefore not so much C. B. unless they put up the usual advertising rates. STRAM3EU.

Sunday eveninsjthe Christian church was well filled by a fine audience , which gathered together to hear the pastor , Rev. J. W. Ingram , who was announced to speak upon the general subject of amusements. The lecture was in many respects a fine effort , and was listened to throughout with the great est attention. The lecturer divided his subject into four parts. Tinder the first head ho included what he called cruel amusements , in which he grouped bull fighting , cock fighting , chases and similar sports. History was quoted to show what numbers of beasts and birds wore frequently slain merely to gratify the oriental love of spoil. In the second division was included danc ing , round dances , bailed dancing , and promiscuous dances of all kinds. Mr Ingram took a very decided stand in this matter. In the third class IIP p'aced games of chance which were innocent in themselves. Among these he instanced card-playing for amuse ment billiards checkers base ball : all of which were juslified under proper restrictions. In the * fourth and last he groued theatres and concerts. He took the position that all plays present ed upon the stage were not ncccssriJy sinful. In regard to the posilion which he took upon the subject of dancing , Mr. Ingram sends" the appended com munication to THE BEE : CAUD TO THE PUBLIC. I dss're to say that the position taken by myself in the sermon on an usements last ni ht , relative to the resulls of all kinds of dancing , was ro. , iptenc'ed to have a universal ap- plcalion ; that is to all dancers. j-'Jiere are. no doubt , thousands of oed people in the world and in tlie o ai i , who are fond of dancing and are beyond the reach of such lustful influence. Tliis modificat'on was in my notes , but was unioi.unale'y excluded , and the omission not noticed by me until my attention was cal'ed ' to it by my daughter. I presented the rule and omitted the exceptions.J. . J. W. iNohAjr , Pastor Christian Church. An Old Nebraska * ! . * Mr. G. B.

Smytho and * Mr. Jnmcs Neville spoke for tlie defense. When tlie former spoke in pathetic terms of Baker coming to Lincoln for trial , bringing the dead body of his wife with him , the prisoner cried bitterly , and the jury were visibly affected. Baker charges the death of liis wife to this trouble. He charges that the whole matter grow out of a personal hatred for liim on the part of Deputy United States Mar shal BalL He accuses Ball of having sent the telegram to the affect that he had been convicted and sentenced to eight years imprison ment. Baker says that this , coming to his wife's attention , threw her into * sickness from which she never re- sovercd. Baker has instructed Col. Smythe to forthwith begin a suit for Jamages against Ball in the sum of 810,000. The trouble has cost Baker ill he had in the-world , some $8,000 , uid the cost to the government will not be less than $2,000. COUNCIL BLUFFS CHAT.

He is Still Unable to > peak and Tell How He Got There.- Yesterday between five and six o'clock aomo one , passing the excava tion fo'f tlifi Millaftl block t Eleventh and Harney streets , saw a mail lying i near the west side in an apparently s'tupified condition. City Jailor McClure - Clure was at oncu teitiphtfrietl fcfr and s'oon arrived on the spot , accompanied Officer Black. The man was found still lying in the excavation. If ho had fallen in he had dropped a distancQ of about eight feet. In the descent he must llaVo fallen Upon a plougllshare and injured his spinal column. That particular portion tion of the excavation is well guarded with a stout fence , and at flrtt glanou it seems almost impossible that any one could have fallen over it. The man was soon restored to partial con sciousness and questioned in regard to the matter , but ho was found un able to speak. He was transferred tea a cell in the city jail and Dr. Leiseu- ring was sent for. After an examination the physician said the man was apparently dangerously hurt. His spinal column had been injured and tliis brought on paralysis. The man was unable to move or talk , but was entirely conscious during the.cn- tire forenoon. He had apparently not been drunk , and the manner in which he came to get into the excava tion is a mystery that nobody seemed able to explain. He is apparently a man of about thirty , is well dressed , and quite respectable looking. A gentleman who saw him this morning said his name was Erickson , that he was a painter by occupation but had recently been employed at the smelting works. This afternoon the man's condition was improved considerably and he was able to move his body somewhat. However he is not able to talk , yet or tell anything about himself. He is still being cared for in the city jail by the physician and the police have not yet boon able to discover how the man got into the excavation.

Recently she left and took up with a brother of Mr. Meyer , who i employed at Joe and Sam's restaurant The two , Mr. Meyer charges , hav been throwing out insinuations in re spect to his relationship to the gir while employed in his family. Tliis Mr. Meyer charges , assumed a phasi of blackmailing , and he thereupon placed the matter in the hands of Col E. F. Sin } Ihe. That gentleman ad vised him to have the couple arrested , Mr. Meyer thereupon made complain against them befon Justice Beneke , charging them with living and cohab iting together , in a state of fornica tion. The statute in this state is verj strict on this head. Mr. Meyer took this extreme measure as a means o ; vinddication , and in protection to himself and family. Policeman Jacobson was given th warrants , and arrested the parties yes terday afternoon. They were ar raigncd before Justice Beneke and required to appear for examination a 2 o'clock this afternoon. Nebraska Stock. To show what Nebraska fanners can do without special effort , seven steers brought to town Saturday by D. Lon ergan , a farmer from Union precinct will show. Mr. Loncrgan raised the cattle himself. Their gross weight was 8,375 pounds , being 3t pounds short o : an average weight of 1200 pounds The heaviest weighed 1S85 pounds , the next 1290 pounds. The average age was within five days of two years They were purchased by William Aust. the Sixteenth street marketman , who paid 4V cents gross weight , or $376.85 for the whole ; This is a good price and Mr. Loncrgan said ho found it more profitable to invest his grain in sucl aninfals than to ship it over the roads. .

This corporation was organized in 1870 as a magazine and book company with three trustees , Dr. Holland , the editor-in-chief of SCEIBNEKS MONTH XY ; Roswell Smith , the business man ager of the company ; and Charles Scribner , the eminent publisher in whose honor the magazine was named , and who died abroad during the first year of its life. < By < the recent retirement from ownership of Charles Scribner's Sons ( with the condition that the "Scrib ner" name shall be removed from the company and its publications ) , the en tire ownership in the corporation row passes into the hands of those who have been most actively engaged in building up its fortunes , and who liave contributed most to its success. The editorial control and the busi ness management will continue as hitherto , Dr. Holland remaining .is the editor-in-cliief of SCIIBCBXEU'S MONTHLY , and Mrs. Dodge in cliarge of the ST. NICHOLAS. The policy of the company in relation to its series of Hymn and Tune Uooks , ' "Spmrr- tALSONCS FOR THE SANCTUARY , " &C. &c. , will also bo continued. The name of the corporation trill be changed to "Tlie Century Co. , " an application for hat purpose having already been made to the Superior Couit , and a new location will be se- euitd fet * thd business of the company ( at tlid ( hid of thS present lease ) . ' Tlie nanie of SBfilfiSflU'rt MONTHLY will be retained until next autumn , when it will become "THE CENTUKY , though its present tille will bs con * thiitetl fur h year a * a sub-title. "Ulie principal titld oifft NICHOLAS its SUb'tltlef , undergoes no chantre ; only being varied to suit the new con ditions. It will be the aim of this company to make its ma-puines more than ever woilliy of the" increasing patronage extended to them by a generous pub- lie. There will be no change made in the hynin and tune books except the substitution'of "The Century Co. for "Scribiicr & Co. " On the title- pa-jes. The biHmdSa management will continue in every respect as be fore SCIUBXEK & CO. April 20,1S81. St. Catharine's Examination.
