The villain nhould bo pursued with
Jio utmost energy , nnd the method of

crime was committed in the postollico
juilding , and 1 have notified the de
triment and bclievo they will send a

And I believe that ouch was the love
if the depart men I for thin man that
hey will join with the state is seeing
hut the Hssaugin is not only hunted
lown , but that the hide is stripped
rom his back when ho is found. "
General John 0. Cowin said that
'all felt the bullet that struck down
Watson 1' . Smith. I understand this
necting is foructionnot for laudation

mini who stood in the hall of the
Jnited States court house waiting for
lis victim is bound to bo discovered.
Murder will outl"
Chas. J. Green said that there is
no cKiis in the community who have
uoro anxiety to bring the assassin to
nstico than those who have disagreed
with Col. Smith.
Gen. Eastbrook declared that
nit for the morc'st accident ho himself
would have boon assassinated Huvoral
ays ago and ho was liable to bo the
next victim -Ho attributed the
loath of Col. Smith to rum , and
laimcd that the atmosphere of
) maha is tainted with murder. He
aid the motive of the assassination (

Jol. Smith was duo to the part he had
.ikon in temperance matters. Ilomen-
ionod the fact that a certain saloon-
coeper had placed a skull and cross-
ones on his saloon windows , with the
nscription "Sacred to the memory of
Vutson B. Smith. " "Now * do you

eo that law and order are preserved.
'I look forward to the judumout day

.o them that are in Christ Jesus. '
And I ace Watson 31. Smith standing

were made yesterday , though the as
sassination continued to occupy all
minds , furnish the only theme of con
versation The moro the matter is
investigated , the moro mysterious it
becomes. There is a large force of
local detectives at work , and yesterday
two of Pinkerton's men arrived trom
thu'east. Theories are plentiful , but
the chances of an early capture are
not great.
SERIOUS SMASHUP.
A. Horse Killed and Two Wag
ons Smashed.
Friday morning , while a number
sf teams -vero standing nt the Tenth
street crossing , waiting for the passage
jf a freight train , two largo horses at
tached lo the wagon of Frisco & Co.

frightened at the escape of steam from
in engine. The frantic animals nt
first plunged forward , and then to ono
side , completely wrecking the wagon
which \VM behind thorn.
A11101117 the other teams there was n
single horse and democrat wagon , be
longing to Gcorgo Collins , n second
hand stove dealer on Douglas street.
The , polo of the safe wagon was
plunged into the side of Collins'
liorse , and a hook on the end
pierced the poor animal's Hanks , tear
ing a gaping uouud about a foot in
length. Collins' wagon was entirely
demolished. After ono or two moro
fierce lunges ono of the frightened

RAIL ROAD RUMBLES.
The Faat Trains Prom Ghicag <
and to Denver.
Several residents of Omaha were o
the first "limited express" on th
Pennsylvania Central line , which ra
from Now York to Chicago in twenty
six hours. They speak of the ride a
a most delightful one , and urmttcndo
by a delay or accident. Every trail
thus far on this fast line has made it
time , and the experiment is an asaurei
and triumphant success.
The Union Pacific train from th
west , known nsNo , 4 , made up twi
hours and throe quarters Frida ;
afternoon in her run in and arrive (
only an hour behind time. The de
lay was caused by the Central Pacifi
train being four hours late.

In. connection with the new mat
service on the Denver "short line" it
is learned that the carrying of the

"expedite" two or three star routes
jctweon these points to the extent oi
doini ; away with them. The saving
, o the gHVornmont by this will niort
ban pay fo.i Uio new nuil route.
The Union Pacific road has con
sented to carry pouches of mail to all

'reo ' of charge until the new mail cars
shall bo built and put on. By these
irrangemonts for mail service on the

try nice figuring has been done in
