From Capt. E. J. Murfm. of Nebraska
City , who paaacd through the city yes
terday on his way to Omaha , wo learn
the particulars of a somewhat disastrous
breakup in the river at that point on last
Saturday.
The river broke about three o'clock in
the afternoon , up about the bond of the
islands and the ice came swooping down
with great velocity and forco. The steamer
Edgar was lying in the river pretty well
protected aa was thought , by piling
driven on the upper side of her. Whim
the ice came down the great piles were
broken oil' like BO many pipe stems and
the Edgar was caught by the grinding
masses of ica , shoved out toward the shore
and ] left half turned over with her side
all crushed in , Captain Pinnoy says she
will bo a total wreck.
The transfer landing was also badly
damaged by the masses of ice that were
hurled against them , breaking the tim.
bora and rcmloring the landing uselcHj
for the time being. The transfer Imit
been pulled around as high on the bank
as poesiblo to keep it out of the crush.
There mast have been a gorge below , for
when thu ice \ \ out out the water won )
down about two foot and left the transfer
high and dry. Passengers could not gel
acrosa Saturday ovenini , ' or Sunday , but
they were crossing in skill's yesterday.
The Edgar was built at a coat of $3,500 ,
and curried an insurance of $2,000. The
loss on her will accordingly not bo very
great. The greatest loss is that arising
from the delay and inconvenience to
business.

On Monday night the colored peoph
of Douglas county mot in the A. M. E
Church for the purpose of discussing the
qucotion "What can bo done in the next
presidential campaign to stop the brutal
hand of the white savage which is butch
ering the colored people in the Southern
States , and what can bo done to improve
their condition , morally and pecuniarily ? "
At that meeting the gentlemen named
below wcro nominated as delegates to
atato convention to bo hold in Lincoln
March 2-tth , 1884. That convention is
called to elect delegates to a conference
at Pittsburg , Pennsylvania , on the 2th
of April , 1881 ; also a convention to be
hold iu Richmond , Virginia , July 2nd ,
1881. This conference and convention
are to mark out a policy for the colored
people to pursue in tho" United States in
the next presidential campaign , in rela
tion to the two great political parties for
the protection of the colored people in
the south in the exorcise of the election
ballot. Every colored mnn and woman
who cares anything for his nice is invited
to bo present at the meeting called at the
A. M. E. Church on Friday night , March
21 , iitTA o'clock , for the purpose of dis
cussing the above named subjects
and to consult their interests , and how
to best servo them by the ballot in the en. f
suing municipal election in this city.
They begin to look with alarm on the
apathetic attitude of the republican [
party , which a < ems strengthening in the :
presumption , which has proven too true
in the past , that colored mon must vote :
the republican ticktt for gratitude , re
gard oss of its future promises. In this
the party leaders nmy find thomselvas at
fault. The colored people in the nation
are going to strike out boldly , demanding
full protection for every citi/.en , north
add Bouth , in every right belonging to
American citizenship. They feel that
the recent decision of the supreme court ,
striking down the power and juribdiction
of the fcdoial courts iu the oouth , has
empoldened the negro haters of the south ,
which has caused them to open up and
push forward a brutal and murderous
warfare on the poor , unfortunate ,
helpless negro in the south , murdering ,
driving , and whipping them in defiance
of the government and the govern
ment olticcrs look on this shameful and
brutal conduct of the late rebel with
seeming indifference and helplessness. If
the government is not able or not willing
to protect Its citizens against such tout

at Crcl litou College Tuesday
The chapel nK Groighton college con
tained a largo audiencoTuesday evening to
liear Rev. A. A. Lambert lect'ire on the
"Formation of the Earth. " These who
heard Father Lambert'H recent lecture on
"Combustion" wcro prepared for a scien
tific treat , and this was coytainly up to
thu hi h standard of the last. The lec
ture was copiously illustrated by Eteroop-
ticon viowa of the dilfercnt ages of the
earth's formation and growth ; the Dar
winian theorythat of evolutionand sever
al other theories being commented upon ,
the speaker claiming rnvolution to be in
perfect accord with true science.
In a conversation with Father Lambert
after the lecture , it was learned that the
college has a perfect and complete aet of
instruments. The laboratory is to be
finished f iu a couple of weeks. It will
accommodate thirty students in practical
chemistry. It is supplied with the latest
and most improved apparatus. Each
student has his own not. The use of it is
perfectly free. If , however , ho wants to
use the chemicals , it will cost him about
50 or CO cents per month. It has also a
magnificent photographic room , besides a
worksh p for making instruments and
preparing for lectures. Besides , the o is
a largo telescopic room. The priniipal
feature of this will bo the telescope ,
eight feet in length and five and one-ha f
inch diameter. Observations are iaken
iu the yarn. The lantern , which was
used in the lecture , ia a n aaniticent
instrument. Vith it are i > 00 views ,
some of which were shown last night.
The college is in n first rate condition
this year. Next year there will bo a
complete collegiate COUBO. There will bo
no lowjr classes , nil of a higher order.
They wili havonnoveningcouraein chem
istry. Thin wo will coimneiicn thia year ,
probably about April or May. There
are several drug clerks in town who desire -
sire to take advantage of this , and will
douhtltus avail themselves of this oppor
tunity.
The next lecture will depend upon the
weather and will probably not bo deliv
ered until after Easter , an Ilov. Lambert
lectures in Chicago on Kastor Monday.
