ANOTHER SHOOTING AT THI
PEN.
'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.
A PAKALYZI..O PAINTER.
Ho OroatoB Conblcliuiiblo Commotion
on Outm Stroat.
For the past two or tlirco daya an
itinerant paintir him been me.uidor-
ing round the ciniot pnrta of the city
bothering the ladies to have their
photographs enlarged , If they do not
give him an order ho becomes very
abusive and generally annoying. 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. The ladies have organized
a littlti scheme which will eilecfually
preclude the possibility of hia capering
round there any more.

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.

FJNE FUEL.
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.

A Kemarkablo Showing i
Railroad Construction
for 1881.
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 ,

The freight and patsengor business
on cho Denver line of the Burlington
road is very good. Seventeen
through passengers left Chicago
Thursday noon. A surveying party
has juat been sent out to ascertain
the feasibility of constructing a cut
off or a short Hue , so ns to shorten
the route sonio twenty miles , There
are several places in Nebraska
where the line is run at right angles ,
making the road longer than is neces
sary It is proposed , therefore , _ to
build a short line from u point
somewhere between Hastings und
Ivearnoy down to Arapnhoe. Work
will soon bo commenced. Burlington
