A SAD CASE. A Mother Loaves Her Babe to 1)0 ) Buried by Stranoors , A Case That Has Many Bepoti- tioiis in a Year's Time. On Friday laat a family of four ar rived in this city from Nottingham , England , un route to Wyoming Ter ritory. The family consisted of the father , Thomas Martin , hia wife and two baboa , ono about eleven months old and the other nearly two yoars. These folks had emigrated to this country upon mo oy sent thorn by Mrn. Martin's , mother , who lives at Evanston. They had four boys beside - side 'licso with them , the oldoat being elxtoon ycari of ago , but upon arriv ing in Now York the two youngest were taken sick with the measles and were sonc to the hospital , while the four oldest were sent on to their desti nation alono. The delay in Now York exhausted the scanty ntock of money in their purse , and when the children were released from the hos pital , there was juat enough to buy tickets to Omaha , The baby caught cold and for a week past had "not taken any notice , " as the mother said , but lay in a comatoao state all the timo. The baggage , which was proba bly their little all , consisted of a sack of bed clothes , a tin lunch box , and tquaro wooden chest , about the aizo of a Dip band box. When the tin box was opened the broad and other arti cles rattled about like plates and were fully as digestible. Friday and Saturday nights they re mained in the depot , having tojo- graphed for money and awaiting a re ply. The babies slept on the hard wooden scats and the parents probably didn't sloop at all. Ono kind hearted man gave them two dollars , and the mother wont out on the street and collected a dollar moro. The baby was growling worse , and these who saw it said it would die if loft any longer whore it was. Sunday afternoon some persona who md become interested m the caao bund them comfortable quarters at the Eastern hotel , kept by Mr. Peter Flannory , where there waa good board , a good bed , a Ore and kind Toatment. It was ascertained that Martin waa a coal minor ( ho said ho worked for two shillings n day btforo 10 loft Nottingham ) and throe of the boys , the youngest not paat twelve , were able to take up the pick. All were going to work in tbo TJ. P , com pany's mines. Mr. Wiley Dixon , the depot policeman , kindly took the mutter in hand and wont to the railroad officials , where , upon his representation of the facts , the man was givpn n pass for himself and a half-faro ticket for his wife , to jo paid for on arriving at Evanston. This morning the baby died , and tn order being forwarded tp Under- akor Jacobs for a coflln , the unfor unato parents loft their little ono to )0 burled by strangers , and took the norning train for their far woatern lomo , The poor mother was nearly broken- loartod , and the father said to n BEB reporter , "A few moro daya of this would send tno to the insane asylum. " This is but ono of many pitiful cases that may bo seen from time to among the poor who come out west to locate and U not the worst , ono poor family some time ago leaving a little ono lying dead on the benches ) In the depot without oven n coflin in which ID lay it , bolng obliged to take the train at once for their destination. People who think they are having a terrible lifo of privation and trouble might learn a loson by a little experience - rienco and contact with a case like thuso mentioned abovo.

THE GRANITE QUESTION. The council at this point went into i committee of the whole , with Mr. Dollono In the chair , to take up the subject , "Is Sioux stone granite , and ; o hoar from various gentleman pres ent the opinions of oiports on the subject. On motion of Mr. Lcodor , Mr. Barker proceeded to road the report of a majority of the board of publio works ( Messrs. Barker and Wilson ) n regard to the USD of Sioux Falls atone , which was filed nome days ago and baa boon published in oubatanco. Mr. Barker also read the opinions of Messrs. Aughoy and Nicholson , of ; ho State University , on the question n hand , according to which the Sioux foils stone cannot by any atretoh of magination bo called granito. It is pronounced by ono man | "matomor > > hosed potsdam sandstone. " Judge Savage being present to rep resent Mr. Mack , being called upon said that ho understood it to bo the wish of the council to do the beet for the interests of the city , and to do It as quickly as possibly. The property owners on Tenth street bavo expressed a wish to have that thoroughfare paved with granite , and the question to bo determined is , "Is Sioux Falis atone a granito. " Ho came from the 3ranito state , and waa therefore some what familiar with that stone himself , 3o was taught in childhood , by a les son ho never forgot , that granite was composed of quartz , feldspar and mica , not in any given proportion , but in such relative quantity as the Almighty had made in con- itruotlng the earth. Granite is itcrally "arook , composed of grains , " ) ut geologically it muat bo a rook of quartz , feldspar and mica , though it io ordinarily applied to rock containing ; wo of these elements , and Ha com mercial definition is not always the scientific definition of the term. Judge Savage then road the u-oport of Prof. J. H. McOleauoy , of Now York , which stated that ho had made a careful and thorough examination of .ho . Sioux Falls stono. Legally , ha .bought , the board must comply with : ho ordinance requiring granite by ad- icring to the strict scientific definition of the term , and ho found that the Sioux Falls stone contained all three of the required elements , quart * , feld spar and mica , and was butter in ovety respect than common granite , Judge Brookings , of Sioux Falls , Followed Judge Savage in a very in ? Leroating and Intelligent discussion of .ho satno question. Ho cited the opinion of Prof , White , the mining { eoloslot , who says the motamorphiam n the Sioux Falls granite is so perfect that all its different parts are exactly ullko and that it is absolutely inde structible. The superintendent of streets in Chicago pronounces it the joat stone over offered there for pav- ng purposes , and on the strength of ita IJUCCOBS in Chicago the Pioneer Press ntks that it bo used in future paving in St. Paul. Judge Brookings jontinuud at some length in explaim- ; iou of the character of the stone , ex- out of the quarries and advantages 'or ' shipment to Omaha Mr , ISIwol. , of Sioux Falls , ono of ho proprietors of the quarry , apoko at souio length. His company owns eighty acres , and the rook is supposed .o extend to a depth cf 300 feet. They liavo bored down 100 feet , and the speaker exhibited a eamplo taken from a depth of sixty-fivo foot , show ing that it waa not stratified at any point. Ho asked Judge Brooktngs if lie would bo willing to go on a stand and state on oath that this was a granito. The judge replied that in the popular acceptance of the term ho would. Mr , Elwoll further adduced the evidence of Win. MoBain and over > twenty Scotchmen who had worked in the granite quarries in Scot land and now worked at Sioux Falli , which was that the Sioux Falls stone was the bust stone they had ever worked for paviuit purposes. A paper waa read from 100 prominent citirens of Sioux Falls , who said that from years oi experience with and knowledge of the stonu , it waa n granite formation ol the hardest variety. Mr. Elwoll then argued that the fact that they had In vested in expensive machinery , im < ported men to work the _ stone ; the fact of ita endorsement in Chicago , and the stiady shipment of stone tc that point up to the present time , the bills of lading for the cars being exhib ited , and many other circumstance ! which ho n am oil proved that the stone was what it was claimed to bo. Ho made a forcible argument on the com mon eoneo way of deciding whether the stone is or is not granite , and is or is not what Omaha wants , and this concluded the debate. Mr. Herman moved that the com- mittco n'so and report progress. Car ried , The committpo reported that after what they had heard they were unable to come to any definite conclusion. The report waa adopted. Mr. Behm moved that the contract be awarded to the lowest bidder for Sioux Falls granite , and that the board of pnblio works bo instructed to lot the contract accordingly. Mr. Herman spoke at length on the question , and so did Messrs. Dollono and O'Kcofo. Mr. O'Koofo favored doing the best possible for the city , and ncidontally expressed it as his opinion that the business men of Farnam and Douglas streets ought to bo made to pay their portion of the cost of paving Tenth street with granite , as they would be moro bonofittod than the property owners. The ayes and nays were called for on the motion of Mr. Behm , and the vote resulted as follows : Ayes Bohtn , Corby , Dollono , Leo- dor , McGnckin , O'Koofo , Thrano , Kftiifmann 8. Kayo Baker , Dunham , Hnnnan 3. RESOLUTIONS. By Herman : To contract with R. Kimball or J. D. Luco for sixty tons of baled hay at $ it.50. Adopted.

TOOK A TUMBLE. A Crazy Canadian's Narrow Escape from Doatb. A French Canadian about 55 yearn of ago , who was en route from Oregon gen to Quebec , was among the pas sengers on the incomiuf * U. P , train rcatorday , and when the train was near Plum Crock , performed a feat hat few wonld like to take chances on. The man waa insane but showed no signs of it until attor leaving North Platte , when ho suddenly became possessed of tbo idea that some ono was going to kill him and asked for protection. Con Groner , sheriff at Sorth Platte , and Anthony Reis , postmaster , were passengers on the ; rain and the former promised him safety. Ho soon wont to the water- closet , Mr. Grover accompanying him it his request , and the sheriff board him open the window naido. Ho unfastened the door just n time to see the insane individual disappear through the window head int.
