'onylct Ron ! , Whllo Endeavoring tc Overpower Guard Hart , IB Mortally Wounded. lincoln Journal. About 0 o'clock ' last evening a telephone < phone moBsngo from thu prison to Dr. Carter nnnnuncod thu fact that ti shooting affair had occurred outtiido ol lie prison w.-xllH , nnd that u convict named Jnmuo Houl lind boon mortally wounded. Prom a gontlonian who arrived from the penitentiary laat night wo gather tlio following particulars oE tliolliir ; : About fi o clock last evening liimrd- mnti Hart ixiul John Stout ( no relative of the contractor ) , who have charge of a large force of convicts engaged at work on the farm , being operated by Mr. Stout , giivo ordeM for the man to coauo work and fall into line , preparatory to returning to the prison. The guard had chnno ; of two neparnto ganmj of men , nnd were a distance fro.n each other. Mr , Hart was on Ilia horao watching the men when duddenly three convicts aprnng from the line , and before ho had time to think , had succeeded in dragging him from the horao and were wrestling with him to eccuro the revolver lie carried in hin bolt. It was a ntrnqglo ot three to ono , but Mr. Hart though powerless hold on to the rovolvcr. At laat tlio other guard observed that all wno not well witli Air. Hart , and riding ever to where the scufllo was going on , ho commanded the convicts to stand back and lot the man alone , threatening to shoot if they did not desist. Stout Is n young man , and the convicts paid no attention to thu command , but continued to struggle for possession of the revolver Four times , it is said , Stout ordered them t' < stand back , and failing to com ply with his orders ho lired at the ring leader , James Iloal by name , thn ball entering his left side and penetrating his body to a con siderable depth. Wnrdon Nobcs , who was at the prison , nnd know it was time for the convicts to bo Hearing the prison , jumped upon his horao and arrived at the scone just after the shooting. Our informant says great excitement prevailed umonp the con victs until the warden arrived. When ho gave the order to "fall in , " they obeyed to a niuii with alacrity. The wounded man \vai picked up and taken to the prison hoiipitul , where Dr. Carter w.xa attending him when our informant left. The wound ia a severe ono , and the ball is still lodged in his body , the dootor being unnblo , to find it. The men composing what is known as tlio farm gang and "trusties , " con victs whoso terms are almost out , for for this reason they were allowed more libortii'H than those in the shops and yards. It is thought that the three men engaged in this transaction had planned the scheme for escape tlio day before , und determined upon milking the assault at the time they wore ordered to lull in. They had evidently selected three of the best fluid horses upon which to make their escape , nnd only wanted the revolver to complete their scheme Under the darknufiu of lant night they huped to put many miles beUouu them and the prison walls before morning.

It happened that at ono house where lie was particularly puisistont there was lying the corpse of a little girl and as ho became somowlut noisy the mother of the child asked him to bj less noisy or go away altogether , Lie said it did not matter to him as ho had no rcxpcct for corpses nor any body else.

PAVING POINTS , Now Process c f Wood Preaei vution. How It Can bo Utilized for a Choa and Good Itoad Covering. SOVOM ! months ago the BKE gnv its readers an outline of a newly in vented process of chotnical trcatmon of wood , whereby that material can b made almost as durable as rock am still mnintaiiiits elasticity , thus afford ing a soft , elastic and at the same tim durable road covering for carriages Mr. U. E Kreutor , the patentee o the process , was in city yesterday am was called upon by a Bin : reporter am interviewed regarding the details o the process both as to cost , durabilit ; and tests. Ho stated that the proces is nor. now so far oa the material in joclcd into the wood is concerned bu the recant invention only aportains U the process of injection , whereby tin cost of the work is so materially lessEned Enod that it brings it within the prac tical reach- cheap paying material The material injected is chloride o zinc , which , by the use of hydraulii pressure is made to displace the sap o green wood and thus convert the timber bor into a somi-rnotalic state. Tin coat of doing this is less thar five cents per cubic foot o when applied to paving blocks 8 inchci deep abau * 30 cents per yard. Tin now process secures bettor results ant is cheaper than the old , as it takci less , and simpler machinery , can bi done moro quickly , and as it onlj treats green woods in. which the colli are still open and replaces the sa | within them with the chemical pro Borvntivo , is moro successful , Mr , Kroutor m response to questions as t ( warping and tests of. durability refer red us to numerous certificates in thii country and Europe whore rail rene tics have been treated with the same material under tlio old process. In these instances are cited where rail' road ties are still in the road bed aftei a usage of 27 years. Among the more recent certificates lip referred us to n copy of a lottur received by City Engi neer lloaowatcr from the celebrated Engineer Charles Shalcr Smith , chiel engineer of the St. Louis bridge and president of the western society o civil engineers. This letter was writ" ton in response to some inquiries con' corning certain tests alleged to have been made at St. Louis with unfavor able results. Mr. Kreutor , upon learning that Inquiries had been made by _ the city engineer , secured his per mission to copy the loply , which wo herewith submit. ST. Louis , Mo. , May 1C. 1882. Mr. Andrew llotowatcr , City Hn lneer , Omaha , I Siu In response to yours of the Ifith I have to say : First , treatment of wood diminithuH its tendency to swell and contract. Next , the amount of expansion depends entirely on the wood used. Next , the trouble from thin cuiau on the St. Louis hridgo was a mere bagatelle. I used aweot KUin , n wood which rotn in four months and swells one inch nnd n hall in sixteen us the bout wood to experiment with , ns it could be hud at $10 per 1,000. The bridge pavement Is nearly two years old , is In Hint-clues condition ( the traffic is so u-rcat that the average life of a 3-inch oak plank was only four months ) and out of 1BOO wmaro yards I have hud to relay only 200 yards on account of haimnocklng nrnf this on the first batch laidjwlth cedar , oak , plno , ash or elm , there would have been no hammocking ut all. It is easily preventtd by dipping the blocks in coal tar after treatment or ltyln < them dingnn- ally. I laid the bridge blocks with .J-inch ioliitfl. Hereafter I will immerse the blocks In liquid asphalt or creosote and without any joints at all. Last you can rest assured that danger from thin cause Iu much loss than with an untreated block of nuy shape. Yours truly , 0. SHALEU SMITH. From the above it will be observed that wooden pavements can bo made as durable and much cheaper than as phalt or fitonu. The material is hero in abundance. The machinery once sot up lumber can bo prepared for foundations , box culverts and other purposes to great advantage. The subject is certainly worthy of uerious consideration in view of its extensive bearings upon our numerous and va ried interests. Trnnsfora of Titles. John L.

N& More SufTdrln ? from the Extor tionate Monopolies. There is not a citizen of Omaha but will remember the dilliculty encoun tered during the past two or three sea sons in getting coal , wood and other fuel during tlio winter. This was partly owing to the fact that the mines were not properly worked and partly to the indiU'oront method of trans portation furnished During these winters the people have been compara lively nt the mercy of the various railroad companies , nnd have boon bled without scruple , It will therefore bo good news for them to learn that there io a remedy at ham' , which it may bo aafo to say will overcome all this trouble , There will bo within a few days a manufac tory blurted up iu this city for making fuel which itia claimed will bo equal to the beat Wyoming coal and will soil ut about half the price , besides being furnished in a never failing supply , This now fuel is manufac tured under a patent issued to Jack- eon A Ingalla , of Dea Muinca , lotra , who have sold the right for this city und state to parties in Omaha. It is made of material which is always as hand , and which is put in moulds and pressed into a shape , which may bo used m stores or furnaces , ns desired , It wil bo put on the market shortly , am after its advent people will bo no Ion gor nt the mercy of the railroad com panics , and the nrticlo will suffer m fluctuation of prices. It will sell n 83 HO to 4 00 per cord , and is put u ] in slave lengths. The company whicl will handle it in this city will havi county ana farm rights for pnlo , am take pleasure in recommending thosi interesttd in procuring cheap fuel t < look after this matter as one of thi ways to escape ex.ortion by the minim and railroad monopolies. KNIGHTS OF LABOR , An Eloquent Address by Ohas II. Litcbinan , of Marble- head , MCISB. A Flno Ovation to n Roproaontatlvt Wornlngman. Monday evening pursuant to ( call published in TUB BKK two 01 three days last week a meeting wai held in Jefferson Square under tin nuapiccs of the Knights of Labor There were present about n thousand persons , and the A. 0. H. band play ct some exquisite inusio during the even * ing. Mr. H. P. llarran acted ai chairman , and in introducing the Hon. Charles n. Litchman , of Mar blehcad , Mass. , made some very tell ing remarks , in the course of whicl ; ho said ho felt very grateful ) for the honor they had dene him in appoint' ' ing him to preside ever the meeting , lie did not want to make a speech , but pointed out that the mooting WBE called by the Knights of Labor , an organization that numbers ever a half a million members in North Amarica. Ho then introduced the Hon. Charlce H. Litchman , who stopped forward and amid enthusiastic cheering com menced his oration. After BOIUG re marks of a prefatory character ho said that his object in addressing them was In say something to these who are not members so as to give them an idea of the principles of the organizations and the objects it hopes to accomplish. As ministers find it best to take a text to preach from ho thought ho cauld not do bettor than fol low their example and ho know of no better text than the preamble to I the constitution of the Knights of Labor. Mr. Litchman then read the preamble , which was listened to with marked attention. Speaking of the gigantic monopolies ho said during the last fifteen years by the manipulation of the laws of * ho land there has been concentrated into the hands of a few men in this country a power far greater than over was wielded by em perors or kings in days gone by , and wo stand to-day face to face with the problem ns to whether this government shall bo uphold in the state ot purity in which it was founded or whether wo shall allow another empire to rise up on ita ruma. He deprecated the present system which allowed a few men to get rich nt the expuuso of the people at largo. Such a system should bo broken down. In a country where there is vast wealth wealth in the hands of a few , nnd such widespread poverty among the producing classes thoromustbosomothing wrong and that wrong must bo righted. When wo speak of wealth what do wo moan ? One man says capilol nnd labor , but ho was of the opinion that there could bo no wealth unless labor creates it. When a man says ho has so much cip- itol ho simply means that ho has gath ered together eo much labor or has stolen the result of the labor of somebody else. The speaker then touched on Iho ag gression of Iho monopolies and pointed out the immense power they wield over the producing classes , lie be lieved that the only way they could make labor organization successful was by co-operation. All the various tradcH ohould combine together and thus form a powerful organization for self-protection. The speech was very eloquent throughout and wai 'inter spersed with some very amusing anec dotes. At the close of his remarks the naseuiblago gave three rousing cheers for the speaker , and the band struck up a lively nir , which termin ated the proceedings. COMMANDER IN CHIC'F.

The Missouri Pacific Catche on Again. Tlso editorial review of Poor's rat road manual , Boon to bo issued , c railroad operations in the Unite Slates for 1831 contains some intoi eating statistics , from which the fol lowing is taken : The year 1881 has been ono of ex traordinary activity in railroad affairs Within the year 0,358 miles of rail reid have been built , the greates number for any ono year. The great cst mileage for any previous year wn 7,370 miles in 1871. The cost , nt $25,000 per mile , o the lines constructed during the yea was 8233,750,000. In addition , n least 570,000,000 were expended 01 lines in progress , nnd $100,000.000 which Is at the rnto of only § 1,001 per mi'c ' , on old road ? , in improvinj their tracks , in building now stations nnd in adding to their equipments The total amount expended in con ntruction during the past year wna in round numbers , $400,000,000. It now sconiBprobablo that the mileage ago to bo open in 1882 will equal tha of 1881. Up to the 1st of Juno , 1882 3,677 miles of line were opened , neainat 1,731 for the same period ir 1881. The same rate of increase wil not be maintained for the romnindci of the year , but the nggregnto for il of now milengo ia not likely to be much short of 10,000 miles. The earnings of all the roads ir operation in the country the past yoai equalled $725,325,119 , being an in crease ever the previous year of $110- 000,000 , the rate of increase being nearly 1C per wnt. The earnings pqualod $13. GO per head of our popu lation. Their not earnings were $27CG54 110 , an increase of $ 21,500- 000 ever thoao for 1880. Their current - rent expenses were $44,5GG,071. ! ) The amount of interest paid during the year on their funded debts was $128- 887,002 ; the amount paid in dividends was $93,344,200 , asrinst $77,115,411 for 1880. The cost of operating our railroads for the year was $449,505,0" ! , or 02 per cent of their gross earnings. The total amount expended in the con struction of now Hues and in operat ing and improving the old" ones was ever $750,000,000tho greater part of this vast sum being paid in wages. The number of persons employed in operating them the past year averaged fully twelve to the mile oporalcd line , or 1,200,000 in all. The number employed - ployed in the construction of our rail roads equaled 400,000 , , increasing the total number of employes to 1GOO- , 000 , or about pno-thiity-sccond part of our population , estimated at 53- , 200,000. The tonnage transported on all the railroads in the country in 1881 can not have been less than 3,500 tons to the mile , or 350,000,000 tons in the whole. The exact amount can not bo given from the want of returns trom a largo number of companies. The tonnage transported by the railrords making return to the legislature of Pennsylvania in 1881 , and having a mileage of 19,244 miles , equalled 132,419,302 tons ; the average being very nearly 7,000 tons to the mile , the average for the whole ccuntry may bo estimated at olio-half the avorngo for that state. The number of tonn transported the p.ist year by the Boston fc Albany , 371 miles , was 3,593,923 tons ; by the New York Central & Hudson llivor , 993 miles , 11,591,379 tons ; by the Now York , Lake Erie & Western , 988 miles , 11,080,823 tons ; by the Pennsylvania , 1,173 miles , 18,229- 3G5 tons ; by the Philadelphia & Heading , 810 miles , 10,811,807 tons ; by the Lake IShoro & Michigan Southern , 1,177 miles , 9,104,508 tons ; by the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy , 2,771 miles , 0,710,750 tons , and by the Chicago & Northwestern , 2CM miles , 0,1)02,112 ) tons. The total mileage of the above roads was 10- 903 miles Their total tonnage wau 83,880,013 tons. At an assumed vuluo of $50 per ton the value of the tonnage moved on the railroads of tim United States the past year , less one- third for duplication , was , say $12- 000,000,000 , or moro than $200 per head of our whole population.
