.CHRISTMAS DAY ,
Itcaiitil'ut Weather nud nn Unusually
Quiet Tlino AnuiscmcutH
ol * the Day. -
AVe doubt if there has ovur boon n
time , not for many years at least , when
Christmas day was as mild and pleasant
ns was Tuesday. Instead of the bleak
and chilling blasts of December , the
clear sky and balmy breezes of apring
were hero , and , as wo listened , wo-fan-
cicd wo could almost hoar the song ol
the robin or the chirp of the cricket.
"How little it seems like Christmas , '
was the remark on every side and ho\v
true it was. The word Christmas
indicates the merry jingle of sleigh-belle
and the happy sleighing party , and t
Christmas without suow is like a Fourth
of July without lire-crackers.
This may , in a measure , account foi
the quietness of the day in this city ,
The places of business were nil closed
early in the day , and the streets pro
sentcd more of a Sunday appearance
than of a holiday.
There was nothing in particular to at'
tract the attention of the public , and the
people wandered listlessly about tin
streets during the forenoon , with no np
parent object in view.
After the Christmas dinners had boor
disposed of , however , the numbers ol
people upon .tho st'roots increased , niu
they were going up and down , aomo t <
visit friends and some to other places.
AT THE WAT1.NEK.

very fine work and the little shuver ii
certainly n wonder on wliocls. Ho ia ai
graceful and aotivo as can bo and wil
doubtless bo the prince of roller ekatiii (
in a few yctrs.
After the double exhibition , Prof
Daniel * delighted his many admirers bj
an exhibition of his kill. It is needless
to say that ft was immense.
Good music wts in attendance and
everybody had a most excellent , time. .
Under the management of Mr. Daniels ,
the roller rink is becoming a. most favorite -
ito resort formate and female , both young
and old.
TMNITY CATHBIlllAt ,
Appropriate Christmas services were

TIIK SOUTH M. E. I'HUHCI !
The Sunday school of the South Omnhrv
M K. church , gave their entertainment
at their church , corner of Tenth nud
Pioroo street , last night.
The Christinas tree was a largo ono ,
and was fairly loaded down with presents
for the little ones.
GOP. O. 0. Howard delivered n very
fine address to the little ones , which was
anxiously listened to. Mr. 0. W.gTib-
bals had charge of the singing , which
was good.
The little ones enjoyed themselves
hugely.
AT TltK 1IAITI.ST I'HUIlCHi
The Christmas festival for the Sunday
school of the Baptist church , was hold
last evening and was n thoroughly enjoy
able affair. The entertainment consisted
of recitations , dialogues , solos , duets
and choruses by the children , and these
were well selected mid well rendered.
The room was handsomely decorated with
lings , the most attractive feature being ,
of course , the Christmas tree , well laden
with handsome presents for the children.
The appearance of Santa Claus , who dis
tributed the presents , assisted by six lit
tle fairies , was the closing and most at-
ractivo feature of the ovoning. The
.ouso . was packed with people , many
icing obliged to stand the entire ovoning.

AT THE CATHOLIC CATHEDIUL

ircsaivo. High moss vraa celebrated nt
ivo in the morning by the pastor , Rev.
Fr. O'Connor. The church was thronged.
Fho main altar was beautifully decorated

.ho illuminated star told the story of the
lirth of the Saviour as plainly as columns
f print. The side altars were profusely
locked with flowers and burning tapers ,

A Chic-UK" Divorce Suit , In Which a
Former Oinnlia Man is Ono of
I ho Parties.
W. N. Craino , formerly of Omaha , but
now of Chicago , where ho is the Equita
ble Life Insurance agent , has been sued
: or divorce by his wife. The Chicago
Tribune of Tuesday saya : "Last Thurs
day Mary W. Craino filed a bill in the
circuit court against her husband , Wil-
linm Niol Crnino , the local agent of the
Equitable Lifo Insurance company ,
charging him with cruelty and asking for
a divorce. Yesterday Oraino filed his an
swer , denying all the accusations. Mrs.
Oraino claimed that her husband , since
their marriage in 187JI , had often beaten
and choked her ; that in 18SO , when they
were at the Gardner house , ho struck her
a violent blow in the face , and on
another occasion , when she was sink in
bed and so ill aho could not raise her
head , ho treated her cruelly , calling her
opprobrious names and sneering at hor.
IIo refused to provide her with necessary
food and medical assistance , and she had
to borrow money to pay her bills. In
April , 188) ) , ho locked her out of her
rooms , and in August following pulled
her out of bed while she was sick and ill-
treated her , and when others inter
fered ho drew a revolver and threatened
to kill some ono. She also claimed
his business was worth $100,000 , with n
salary of § 8,000 or § 10,000 a year , and
she wanted alimony and an injunction tc
prevent him from disposing of his prop
erty. Craino , in his answer , denies spe
cifically that ho has over treated his wife
badly , and claims that ho has always sup
ported her tenderly and liberally ; thill
she has a largo wardrobe of great variety ,
with valuable jewels and other personal
ornaments , and that ho has provided hoi
with the best food that the finest hotolt
and markets supplied. Immediately
after their marriage they boarded

Falling Bank Tnesflay ,
A Had and Solemn Christmas Journey
from This I < lfo into the Great
Unknown Future.
Yesterday afternoon as three workmen
were engaged in excavating under Dr.
Peabody's house , corner Fourteenth and
Jones street , the wall of dirt gave way ,
burying ono of the men , Charles Forrest
by name.
The bank was about eleven feet high ,
and the men had dug under it for a dis
tance of eighteen inches , when it caved
in upon them. The falling dirt caught
Forrest upon the legs and buried him
nearly up to his hips.
Ho was immediately extricated and
moved to his residence , only a few doors
distant , where ho died about 4 o'clock.
The coroner was notified and immedi
ately empaneled a jury , who upon hear
ing the evidence , atnto that they found
that the diseased came to his death by n
mass of cartii falling upon him at the
place above mentioned.
It is the prevailing opinion that n
largo chunk of dirt must have fallen upon
him in such n manner as to have injured
him internally.
Ho vraa about 37 years of ago and
leaves a wife to mourn his loss.
His funeral will take place to-day.
A POIiWoF LAW ,
The RcspoiiHlblllty or Cities in the
Dlbpomxl of Street HnllromlH.
The supreme court of Colorado recent
ly rendered a decision of a question like
ly to arise in this city should the property
owners on streets given to the Bolt rail
road appeal to the courta. The property
owners in Denver sued the city fur giving
certain streets to the Circle railroad. A
test case was taken to the supreme court
on the question whether the city or rail
road company were liable for damages to
adjacent property , and the following de
cision was rendered :
The three questions passed upon are
(1) ( ) as to the right of an abutting lot own
er in this state to compensation where
the adjacent street is occupied by an
ordinary railroad , and his property is
thereby injured ; (2) ( ) if ho is entitled to
compensation , did the city of Denver be
come liable therefor by the action of its
council in granting by ordinance a right
of way to the railroad through the street ;
and ( U ) if the lot owner is entitled to
compensation , what is the measure of
damages.
As to the first question , wo say that
under the peculiar language of our state
constitution , which requires just com
pensation where private property is taken
or damaged for public or private use , the
abutting lot owner is entitled to compen
sation in a case of this kind. In the first
place the abutting lot owner has rights
in the street which are not shared by the
general public. Without this easement
connected with his lot the property itaelf
would generally be of little value. Such
rights or casements are properly within
the moaning of our constitution because
they are absolutely necessary to enable
him to use and enjoy his property.
But while ho is entitled to
compensation unaer the constitution
in a case of this kind for any interference
with those rights which diminishes the
value of his property , yet there are cases
in which the courta pronounce it a dam
ns ; o without injury and deny compensa
tion , as where the injury results from a
reasonable and appropriate exorcise of
the power to control the streets by the
city council in improving the street for
the benefit of the public. While the
railroad is a public benefactor and a great
advantage to a town or city , yet its con
struction and operation through or in the
street are not such a use of the street as
is contemplated in its dedication , it is
not a local enterprise for the benefit
of the loc/il public ; and it is an
additional burden of servitude not com
prehended within the casement for an
ordinary public street. The question as
to whether or not the abutting ownoi
also owns the foe of the street is , undoi
our constitutional limitation , immaterial.
A similar constitutional provision hac
been construed in the states of Illinois ,
West Virginia and Georgia , and the
courts havu thcro gouo .further in allow
ing compensation to the abutting ownoi
for such damages than ' wo do in tliii
opinion. Tno case of the Colorado Central
tral railroad company against Mol.
landing , heretofore decided by thii
court , dii not construe this constitu ,
tional provision , because of the fact thai
the rights of the parties were acquired
prior to the adoption of the constitution ,
and it nowhere discussed or referred tc
the statute of 1808 ; hence the wordi
"injuriously affected" in that statute received
ceived no interpretation in that case
English statutes and English authentic !
interpreting them , similar to the statute
of 1858 , were also referred to and dis
cussed.
Under the second question , if the citj
council by the ordinance purporting t <
grant the right of way did not undertake
to deprive the abuttingownerof conipon
sation , but simply declared the council !
of the city and the general public to tlu
use of the street by the railroad , no one
would contend that the city is liable in
this action. On the other hand , if the }
attempted to confer the right to use tlu
street without such compensation thoii
action would , in this respect , bo at
usurpation of power not possessed and it
conflict with the constitution , and undoi
the law it would not bo binding upon f
municipal corporation , so that the citj
could not in either event bo held ro
sponsiblo.
Now , upon the third question , the
measure of damages , where the party ii
entitled to compensation at all , is tin
actual diminution in the market value ol
his promises for any use to which thej
may reasonably bo put , occasioned bytlu
construction and operation of the rail
road through the adjacent street. .
The judgment of the court below i :
reversed and the case remanded to tin
district court , with directions to caiti
court to dismiss the action.

of a September morning. Our first stopping -
ping _ point was at the busy little town of
lonvillo , in Clay county. Glenville has
population of about 200 , is a good grain
shipping point ; has a largo grain elevator
at the depot. Near by are the railroad
stock yards , in which were confined
some very fat hogs ready for shipment.
From the train you have a good view of
thotown the largo school building , sit
uated a little treat of the town , being a
most prominent feature. Many new
buildings are in course of construction ,
stores of all kinds , lumber yards , etc.
The next place reached was the city of
Hastings , the queen city of the prairie ,
with its 5,000 population. Hastings is
situated at the crossing of the St. J. &
W. and II. & M. railroad , and has , as its
main feature , ono of the best conducted
daily newspapers outside of Omaha.
Leaving Hastings , we passed through the
towns of Haneon and Doniphan , crossed
the Platte , and arrived at Grand Island
at D:30. : Between Hanson and Doniphan
the country was noticeably thickly settled
white frame houses dotting the prairie
on all sides , with hero and there * ino
groves , immense haystacks , and plenty
of grain being hauled to market. Grand
Islan'd is a lively town ; and seems to
have a little moro of the got-up about it
than its rival Hastings. The buildings
are largo , commodious , well built of
brick , but their sidewalks are miserable
being built of boards , half of them
loose , some off altogether , making a very
unsafe walk especially after night. Wo
found the city dressed in its holiday attire
and her streets and stores filled with
buyers. Ono thing needed hero very
much is a daily paper. If they had ono ,
such as Hastings possesses , it would in
deed give the town an air of importance
which , it would benefit much from.
Grand Island has ono of the very best of
hotels in the Jordan house , conducted
by Captain J. B. Jordan. This house is
built of brick , three stories high , con
tains aomo sixty rooms and is well and
tastefully furnished throughout. Al
though the house is only a month old , it
enjoys a most liberal patronage.
Leaving Grand Island at 1) Christ
mas morning , wo passed through the
towns of St. Libory , St. Paul , Almar ,
Scotia , and arrived at North Loup , the
terminiusof the road , at 11:30. : The trip
from Grand Island to North Loup is ono
of the moat picturesque of Nebraska.
Soon after leaving Grand Island the prai
rie becomes rolling so much so that ono
in search ot a homo would soon become
discouraged if ho know nothing about the
sublimity of the Loup Valley turthor on.
Shortly after leaving the station of St.
Libory , wo merged into the valley ,
crossed the Loup river and pulled up at
St. Paul. St. Paul is n live town of
some 700 souls , and is situated nicely on
an elevated piece of ground and has a
very largo grain elevator at the depot.
The railroad continues along the south
bank of the Loup and crosses the river
tust before reaching Scotia. Just
oforo crossing the river hero , the road
branches , the main line running
to North Loup. The train docs not
divide hero , but runs up to Scotia and
then backs again to the main line and
proceeds on to North Loup , the present
terminus. The two towns are within
sight of each other , pot being moro than
two miles apart.
North Loup makes a favorable impres
sion on the newcomer. The citizens are
wide awake , go-ahead class , have excel
lent stores , good buildings and the beat
fanning land surrounds U.
Your correspondent hold a brief con-
venation witli "Elder" Babcock , post

by J. B. Gowen , who is very attentive to
the wants of his guests.
A very sad affair occurred hero yester
day in the accidental shooting of the 14-
year-old son of Amos Burdock. The dis
charge camp from a shotgun and ledged
in his side just below the hrart , causing
death in twenty minutes.
The train men on Conductor Williams'
train are deserving of much commenda
tion , they having "thrown in" and pur-
chaaod bags of candy , toys , etc. , and dis
tributed the same njong the route to
those farmers' little children living in sod
houses , thus making their little hearts
boat with joy over Xrnaa presents they
would not otherwise have received.
It was my" intention of going on to
Sargent the tnmha ) town but convey
ances were scarce , and hence 1 will
write it up again. For all these looking
for homos we would advise them to take
a run up the famous Loup valley.

A Narrow Escape.
A narrow escape from a serious fire
occurred in Kuhn's drug store late Christ
mas eve. A clerk while moving a step
ladder accidentally knocked a lamp out
of the chandelier , which , falling to the
floor , exploded , spreading a blazing mass
of fire. It was immediately extinguished
with clothing , though nt first it appar
ently threatened the entire store.
