1 Brace of Divorce Salts In the Dis
trict Coarr.
The attention of Judges Wakely and
Neville , of the district court , was given
yesterday to the hearing of argument ,
on application of counsel for a writ oi
labeas corpus , In the case of William
I , Haynes , the Papillion station agent
ccueed of forgery by the Union Pacific
railroad. The circumstances of the case
are peculiar.
William Haynes was formerly the joint
tation agent of the Union Pacific and
iltssourl Pacific at Papillion. On Dae.
id , 1884 , his station accounts were
'checked up" by a traveling auditor of
ho Union Pacific , and he was discharged
ram the employ of the company. One day
ater , the travchngauditorof the Missouri
'acific came to Papillion , and upon check-
ag up single and double accounts , it was
ound that thcro was duo on through bill-
ng , the sam of $247.73 from the Union
'ncific ' to the Missouri Pacific. Haynes ,
t the direction of the traveling auditor ,
rew a draft for that amount in favor of
he Missouri Pacific road , on the Union
acific. Ho was shortly afterwards ar-
osted on the charge of forgery , on a
omplolnt sworn out by the U. P. officials ,
t is alleged in the complaint that Haynes ,
t the time of drawing the draft , was no
ongcr in the employ of the company ,
md'henca his act was one of forgery ;
while , on the other hand , it is claimed
.hat Haynes was the joint employee of
ha two companies and could not be dis-
hargod without an accounting made by
epresentatives of both. The arguments
or the defensa were made by A. U.
Jancock of Papillion , and C. A. Bald
win , of this place , while Messrs. Fergu
son & Shropshire represent the Union
" 'acific ' company.
Tha writ of habeis corpus was granted
jy the-court.
Haynes declares that the suit was
rought against him as an act of mali
cious spite on the part of cartaln HTnion
'ac'.fic officers connected with the audlt-
ng department and with whom ho had
ireviously had trouble. He will enter a
nit for heavy damages against the cam-
iany.
iany.A decree of divorce wsa granted to
lira. Clara P. ffigby from her husband
ra P. Higby. Grounds alleged , those
f drunksnnuss and failure to support.
A petition was filed yesterday by Geo.
iL Baily , praying 'or a divorce from his
wife , Jane L. Bailey. Mr. Bailey allgei
that he was married to his wife in Buf-
ale , N. Y. , some eleven yeara ago and
Ived hapnily with her until 1882 , when
IB was called ont in the Nebraska postal
mail service. His wife would not come
with him , saying that she did not like it
west. Many times he has written to hot
asking her to come and live with him ,
jut each time she refused with the novel
plea , "I don't like the west. "
The matter of decision in the injunc
tion suit of the tax payers of cewer dis
trict Ho. 19 is still held nnder advise
ment.
The court adjourned until Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock.
THE # Ew SFTEEPEISE ,
Tlie Pottery and. Tile Factory Soon
to Do Opened.
Amongthonew manufacturicginteresta
now in the final stages of development ,
none , perhaps , presents more points of
interest than the pottery and tile factory ,
hich is soon to be opened in this city.
A reporter called , lost evening , unon
Mr. Sidney Smith , president of the
newly organized Nebraska Tile and
Pottery company , and a conversation
with that gentleman developed same in
teresting facts.
' 'Wo expect to open our factory ,
ready fcr business about the first of
April , " stid Mr. Smith , "or at least as
soon as spring Is fairly commenced. We
shall employ from fifteen to twenty
men to start with , and shall
prob&bly , from time to time in
crease our working ions. The factory
will turn out tllltur , presiod brick , and
terra-cotter work.Vo have situated in
this city a bank of the finest clay , which
having been carefully tested has given
the best rotnlts. Tnere bos also been
purchased by the company , some 30Q
acres of land near Louisville , Nebraska ,
which aifords a fine quality of kaoline.
The fire bricks modu from Louisville caj !
are very fine , as hard as filnt and highly
darable ; while the clsy I think will give
good results when applied to the manu
f&crare of tiling. It is now being testec
In Chicago , In the manufacture of sewoi
drain tile. "
"Tho power of the factory hsj
already been secured. VTe B ex
pect very Boon to order the balanca o
the machinery from the oast. The press
ed brick machine will be of the celebrat
ed Andrns make , of Das Moines. "
"It Is the Intention of the company
and 1 think it will be ctrriod out , U
f urnisa the purest cf pressed brick , ii
Om&ha , at the aim a prices that the sami
quality could be purchased for In Chlcigc
or St Louis. So that the purchaser wil !
actually save the cost of freight on thi
the bricks which sometimes amounts to te :
dollars a thousand.
The officerr of the company , at at pres
ent organised , are ni follows :
Sidney Smltn , president ; Thomas Gib
sou , * ecretry ; J. A. Wakefield , troasnr

GfattotD n of A ? Board of Trad * :
Thu doses the eighth and tat y r of
Oman * board of trade , a new corporation
having b wi formed with much more s-
tensiva pattern , and one that is oeriwn to
do much good in the hands of th pble
men placed in the ditectory.
I wonld first cull attention to the ex
treme importance of giving every suppott
to these gentlemen in their eiforte to es
tablish. the institution on A proper bams.
One of the finest lot * m the c ty has been
secured , nd should the necessary funds
b collected , which thera is litUe doubt
of. we imll have one of the finest and most
useful buildings in the country.
During the pest roar Omaha has made
great progress both in population and
improrementa. and bat for tha city
attorney , would have had ono of the
moat uteful market houses in the
country. It Is to ba hoped that Iho now
botrd will give this matter their earnest
attention , as thcro is nothing -tnoro
needed in Omaha.
In regard to other matters the eTrocu-
tive committee will give full details of
the operations of the bourd daring the

tary will show our financial standing , and
give statistics of what has been acsatn-
pllehcd.
And now , gentlemen , I desire to
thank you for thu honors yon have con
ferred on mo as president of the board ,

RTPOET OF SECliEIAHY GIBSON.
The secretary presented the following :
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Board
of Trade :
At the close of the year it seems in
cumbent upon the officers of the Soard
to furnish a report of their put doings ,
and also to indulge somewhat in the
hopes and aims of onr future. In tak
ing n retrospective view of our past la
bors we cannot but feel a pride in the
many public improvements inaugurated
by this board. Especially do fro refer to
onr paved' streets , in which no other city
in the union of the same population can
bout of equal progress in the snma space
of time ; and It does honor to our city
and help to its mercantile interests to be
lifted from the slough of despond which
characterized onr thoroughfares through
the months of travelers , to one of the
best paved cities , in its business ram
parts , into which they asoiro to trade.
The grading and sewerage of onr resi
dent streets have been prosecuted beyond
our expectation ? , and a halt has been called
in that direction in consequence of its
preen , an too much uf a good thing may
invoke a reaction , which is detrimental
to economic progress. The total cost of
the public improvements reached § 1,500-
000.
000.Tho
The board appointed delegates to the
convention at Washington in February
but In relation to the Missouri river Im
provements , which wo believe trill result
in good , and , eventually , onr rivar front
will bacomo a permanent landing through
this source.
Congress passed one of the bills char
tering a bridge across the MJtsouri from
Omaha to Council Bluffs , for railroad and
wagon purposes and wo hope the time s
not far distant when work will begin on
this structure , as wo deem it one of the
greatest strides in tne future of onr city
to have this communication that a wagon
thoroughfare may unite us with our
neighbors on the east side of the river.
Our market house project , one of the
best things to be done for the general
public , is not dead , but aieepeth ; and ,
although when the project was rtpo for
the building , it was laid aside by the
council through the decision of its legal
adviser , that we couldgnot'uso the street ,
although railroads are given such privil
eges without stint , this matter will one
day rise in Us might and demand this
great boon for the people ,
In Mayl ast this board was privileged
to one of the finest eicuis.ons ever sent
from onr ciry by the courtesy and liber
ality of the B. it M. and C. , B. & Q
railroad officials. Two hundred and fifty-
four of onr rnembeis and friends availed
themselves of an invltr.tion extended to
this board to visit CMctgo , end never
as so large a company better entertained -
tainod or experienced a moro entertain
ing trip than on that occasion. To the
whole company It was a pleasure , and it
redounded to the profit of the great cor
poration , whoso liberality was well
placed.
During the past year our stock yards
have been completed and South Omaha
looms np with considerable dignity cs an
addition to the extended limits of our
fntnro great city of the west.
The packing and slaughter houses are
substantially built , and leased , for a num
ber of years to ono of the largest beef
and pork packers in the United States ,
and ire expect thoratnreof'his ' establish
ment will surprise us all , and add greatly
to the wealth of our city. The C" . P.
railroad tracks are on the side and
through these yards and packing house ,
and the B. & M. , with its commendable
enterprise , has bnilt a track through our
city on the tame points , to compete for
the great expectation of its future bnii-
ness.
ness.The advance in real estate during the
pistyev , although a dearth in sales for
a few of the latter months hare been ap
parent in consequence of the stringency
of the money market , still holds good ,
and business lota especially retain their
advance , and owners are not anxious to
sell at present prices.
The building boon in fine blocks and
residences has been unprecedented , for it
has exceeded any previous yew by over a
million dollars. We can eafely estimate
that over four million of dollars hu been
invested In permanent and substantial
business houses , palatial retidenctt , and
homos for the people , spreading in every
direction to and beyond our present city
limits.
Our mercantile interests have endeav
ored to keep pace with the itiflax of pop.
alation , and the ratiil trade hu gener
ally been good. The wholesale dep&rt-
montt of trade in our city u a anpplj
point to the vast country to which ihij u
the gatewty could DB doubled without
ioubt by daubing the stocks nd making
on extra effort to secure the entire trade
of the gre t northwest and south ,
permeated by the iron nils to and from
out city.
Flouring mill Several parti us havs
raited Omaha thu paw year in viuw > f lo-
catmg a flouring null , but have betui dis-
cmragod in regard to piocuiing the ruht
jjtadu of wheat. Tins , however , will b
'ibvm'od when atradub atd is in program.
However , "wo are pleased to note tlmt one
firm hae made an attempt in this
druction , and are i mining a
small mill successfully , mak
iinr good flour and ' < * > k the goieTnment
contract to supply 1000 sack * . This en-
teipti c might to be fottwed ; and we hope
our merchant * will apprecMteand encour
age jit , as we understand , if it is a "niece *
. mother mill , equal in proportions to those
nt Minneapolis , will m erected in onr
city , by which we will have a home supply
ofthestorifoflife.
Knoonnwcment , M far a * possible ,
should be giveii to mminJactnring in
terest * . Many application * ate aade to
this board from manufacturing concerns
in the Mt , asking aamtftnoe to resove
here , in the shape nf taking stock in snch
enterprise * . Some of thews are expedient ,
ami their location hete woaJd be benenriai
to individual interest * , and alee to our
city and state At large. A large store
foundry and manufactory fur vapor stoves ,
a null for the making of oatmeal , and va
rious other enterprises have written on
those matters , but we have not been able
to meet their wishes , either as to donating
lots for their locution or forming stock
companies to suit the requirement * .
Dnring the past year onr _ consttntion !
hrn been submitted to committees-for re
vision , in view of entering upon a more
extended platform for the faturo of this
board , many necessary changes hove
baen made which were ratified after dii-
cUEaion in rpgnlsr meetings of the board ,
and for the purpose nf preparing the tray
for the future usefulness of this board in
a mercantile sphere , in tha shape of a
daily trade board , it was aoterminod that
a building should bo erected In a princi
pal thoroughfare , commensurate with the
present status of the city. The com
mittee on location of lot decided ou the
southwest corner of Sixteenth and
Farn&m itrcets as eligible for the pur
pose , and the board ot directors acquiescIng
Ing made an oiler to the city authorities
of $13,000 , and on the accaptanca of this
JTer , wo arp now waiting before putting
u.e matter in shape that our architects
may present plans for a building GGxl32 ,
Four stories and basement , that will bean
honor to * edifice dedicated
our city , asa public
icated to the mercantile interests , there
by filling a void long felt hi rooms speci-
illy adopted to the purposes cf our
business population.
To moot the requirement noctbsary for
this board to purchase and hold real es
tate , articles ot incorporation under the
state law have been prepared , and after
: riticiem and amendments adopted , DO
that wo are now only awaiting the coun
cil's decision of sale of the real estate to
enable onr board of directors to proceed
in the erection of a public building
which will eventually inaugurate an en
tire change in the markets of our city in
inch commodities as grain , stock , packed
aeef , poik , hard and produce of every de
scription , and will bring the producer
and consumer , or their agents , nearer to
gether.
Great anticipations are bsssd upon the
erection of a chamber of commerce of
netropolitan proportions , and this board
a prepared to proceed with the work
when the lot is secured.
Entering now upon a now era , with
aright prospects for the future of the
Dmoba board of trade as a trade board
doffing the swaddling clothes of a
citizens' association only in which cs
jacity it has shown iteelf equal to every
smcrgency presented in inaugurating and
fostering improvements for the public
jood ; wo call upon the business mon of
our city to rally around the inauguration
of this enterprise and give it the support
which IE requisite for the accomplish
ment of the objects hi view , and It will
redound ten fold to the mercsnulo in-
rest of our city and state. v
The statistical portion of my report it
s impossible at present to present at our
: ity , county , railroad and other officials ,
o whom wo are inebted fur information
n the compilation of the same , ' ara not
'at prepared to give figures to January
. . but we will endeavor to present them
n due time for publication.
The board of directors have- performed
irdnons duties during the put year ,
iroinptly responded to every call of your
lecrstary when the business of the board
demanded thtdr attention.
With kindly remembrance to taamein-
> ers of this bcnpd for their attention to
calls when public procreis required their
lanction to matters of genetril import ,
loping that the co-operation of commit-
ss and members during the year before
is trill suffice to accomplish Iho great end
n view , I submit this report.
