To-day the caiool thesUto vs. Thompson and Howard , charged with the murder of Not- tie Howard , will bo taken up in Judge No villo'H court. The readers of the BKE are fa miliar with the main features of the case , and it la tuoluja to repeat thorn bore now. Gentlemen frpm Wyoming now in this c\ty \ say that the citizont of that territory , in view of the policy 1'rosldont Cleveland seems determined to follow , are satisfied that Hon. F. U. Warren , lately appointed governor , will be allowed to remain in office , Yesterday afternoon , while driving across the street car track on Tenth street , n hind wheel of a wagon belonging to a Thirteenth street dry goods man , was wrenched from its bearings nnd rolled joyfully across the street , while the wagon came to a sudden halt , The policemen ttta complaining because they have not received tholr regular pay. City Treasurer Buck Is making every effort to moot the demands and expects to soon have everything squared. By-tho-byo , it is sug gested thatthe Board of Trade had better hurry up with that § 13,000. The mass mooting that was called for Metz'a hall last night , nt which numbers of workingmen were expected to bo present , turned out to bo a very slim meeting. So few persons attended It that no organization was attempted , and the few who collected there returned quietly to their homos , Tha threo-story brick , adjoining trio steam laundry of .Wilkina & Uvans , 22X90 feet , with basement , on Eleventh street , be * twecn Farnam nud Douglas , ' is radidly approaching preaching completion , It will bo .finished in about twenty dnya and bo an ornament to that locality. In the case of the state of Nebraska vs. Albert Johnson , charged with burglary and grand larceny , yesterday evening District Attorney Leo Estello , dismissed the charge of burglary and the defendant pleaded guilty to the charge of giand larceny. The sentence was reserved by the court and may be from ono to seven years. If the recent assembly at Lincoln did nothing of peculiar interest to the people of Nebraska generally , It enabled some persons connectad with it to learn a way "that will lead to joy or misery. There is surely one somewhat sensational episode connected with two , if not more , of tha actors there , which THE Bug may have occasion to toll about omo day. About noon yesterday a borso and buckboard - board , -with laprobe belonging to It , were driven off from the front of Broatch's store. They belonged to J. G. Bailey , and at n late hour last night had not been found. About 8:30 : last night another horse nnd buggy were driven off from J. A. Fuller's store , corner Fourteenth and Douglas streets , and at n late hour not heard from. Most beautiful springllko'day yesterday. People who have boon housed since thanks giving day crowded the sidewalks and sunny sides of buildiogd , dovosring the soft , fresh air. But in the language of three of the ju dicial ollicers of the citytha weather ii too fine for Items , Everybody was to happy at the coming of sunshine that few did anything for TUK HEB to tell Us readers about , The board of directors of the Congrega tional Homo Missionary society met this &f ternoon in the Paxtou , attending to the denominational nominational work of the state.

The Liramio Boomerang speculates ns follows : "A private letter from Fort Iloblnsonsaya that the Northwestern road will bo finished to that point by July 15th , and that they anticipate a big boom. This road will pu h on through Wyom ing , pitsing a little to the south of Hat creek , and llionco to Fort Fcttorman , which will bring It within ninety in'les ' of Laramlo , and much nearer than any point will bo to Cheyenne. It Is probable that no tlmo will bo lost in pushing on into the oil and coal regions , and in fact a branch road will probably bo built at ( > nce , beginning at Kawlins , and running north through the oil basins. This news , together with that of the contemplated building of the Burlington and Missouri road from Grand Island into Wyoming , or near Its south line , shows that the railroad companies have an eye each on our rich coal deposits and mineral resources , and that tboy will loss no time in getting jnto the territory. An examination of the map shows that the projected line of the Burlington and Mitsonri will bring that road directly to ward the Dale creek canyon , and they have an easy grade from third loathe Laramto plains and their vast coal and mineral' deposits , " Very few people know anything about the process of making up the lime carder or cchodnlo which controls the running ol trains on the ggpat railroads of the country. To ono who examines the matter but casualty it might seem to ba an easy thing to name a time at which a train shall leave Omaha , for example , and shall strike station A , station B , etc. , etc. But the method adopted is not so simple. A larpo wooden chart properly diagrammed - grammed , a paper of pins , three spools of red , blue and black silk thread those are the tools which the man who maps out the running tlmo of a vast sys tem of trains passenger and freight uses in his work. The chart is come two or three feet square and nude so that pins can bo stuck jnto it without any great difficulty. It is croised at proper aud mathematically determined intervals , by parallel lines , some running up and down , some horizontally across the board. The perpendicular lines as will bo seen by a roferonca to tbo rough diagram ap pended indicate- the hours at which the trains start ; while the lines running hori zontally indicate the positions of the stations. Omaha. 11 12 1 2 Valley. North Bond. Columbus Now suppose that it Is desired to de termine the running time of a train which leaves Omaha at eleven o'clock , traveling with a speed of thirty miles an hour ; or moro particularly , suppose our railroad friend desires to find the time when such a train will reach Columbus , ninety miles distant from Omaha. He first fixes a pin on the point Intersected by'tho line " 11" and the line representing Omaha. Columbus being ninety miles distant from Omaha , it will take precisely throe hours to make the run. Hence a pin Is placed on a point whore the line of the hour 2 o'clock p. m. intersects the line rep resenting Columbus. In other words , the train will roach Columbus at 2 o'clock. Ho now takes a piece of silk thread and ties ono end to the Omaha pin and ono end lo the Columbus pin , and the hours at which this thread crosses the interven ing station Hues show the tlmo at which the real train will pass the corresponding places. * For example , it will bo seen , by refer onca to the diagram that the line crosses Valley at 12 o'clock ; hence this is the cor rect hour at which the train roaches that point. So also North Bend is reached at 1 o'clock. And all interven ing stations will bo scheduled In like man ner. ner.The The spaces between the perpendicular hour lines , 11,12 , 1 , 2 , etc. , are divided into 12-5 minute interstices , so that in case a thread does ! not cross exactly at an intersection , which ii 'almost invariably the CBJSO , the proper tlmo of tbo train can be computed. In this way , if the diagonal representing the train in the diagram , were to strike the North Bond line , a trifle to tbo loft of the 1 o'clock line , It would show that the real train roiched that point at a few minutes before 1 o'clock. By a fine and math ematically determined graduation , the exact minute of tlmo can bo fixed upon. . So also the time at which trains will pass each other can ba ascertained by locating the intersecting point of the threads with reference to the hour linos. In case ono train lias to wait for another the fact is represented on the board by twist Ing the thread of the delayed train around two pins side by side , so as to make tbo proper deflection for the amonnl of llmo lost In waiting. Red silk thread Is used to represent ; passenger iniai blue silk for freights and black foi locali. All the wtst-bonnd trains are represented by threads running ts th light , while cast-bound trains are rep rented by threads running to the left. When every train on the division represented by its corresponding threaten on the chart , iho surface U a perfect ne work of bine red and black silk , with upright pint at irregular Intervals the whole resembling moro than anytbin _ else an intricate Chinese puzzle. Whe : everything ia complete the making up c the corresponding lima schedule is a owy and almpio matter. Each dlvlslo of the road , of course , has its aopaiat chart. The curious system of comptlln the time card la in rogue , with a few rlight mcdificUioni , on every railroad in the United States , J'ERSONAl AND GENERAL. S B , Jones , asriitant coneral psston- I ger agent of Iho Union Pacific , has ro- I turned from hla eastern trip. I J. W.

The now code of signals wont nto effect yesterday over the ntlro Nebraska sys'.cm. ' The non have bocn well drilled In the now nlos and signals and made the change rlthouc any great difficulty. Among the important changes which re contained in the now time table is the tinning of the Lincoln oxprots , leaving icro at 1:30 : , clear through to Marysvlllo , vans. , Ins'cad of making the transfer at Mao Springe , as hitherto. This change las bocn necessitated as n matter of nc- ommodatlon to the largely Increasing assengor traffic in that direction. The spring reaction in pasionger traffic vest has already set In , and the U. P. nd B. it M. trains , west bound , are cor- ylog heavy lends , and largely Increased osonunodations for the trat el have been necessitated. On No. 3 west bound , for example , the I. P. folks have boon compelled to put ) n a regular extra baggage car , ommcnc- ng with last Thursday. Regular passen ger traffic east bound is reported as being Ight.Briskness Briskness in om'grant travel is ono of ho eaicntlal features of enlivened rail- oad business. Every day from three rte ivo emigrant cars loaded to their utmost opacity , are sent over the Union Pacific icund to Portland and to points In California. .Now emigrant cars are being onatantly added. The Chicago & Northweatcrn railway ilaco on sale April 1st their now commor- Ul mileage book which , It Is believed , will bo found to fully moot the approval f commercial travelers , The usual re late is made upon the presentation of ho book after the mileage coupons have joon used by the firm or person to whom t is issued.

The Romantic SLry of an Eloping Couple , Convent BAI-S Uutst and IrMo Par ents Delicti The llnppy Oon BUiumAtion , "Tlio conrao of true love , etc. , etc. , etc. " A doliclons ciomplificitlon of this old and tlmc-honoiod Shakespearian nphor > Ism has just floated to the surface , In Ilia shape ) of an olopcmont , of which Omaha was the acono of the happy culmina tion. Soruo time ago , it may bo romcmbcrod , there was a brlof aotico in the Omaha dailies noticing , In an incidental way , the marrlago in this city of Mr. llichard n , Baker , of Chicago , to Mita Ella Corn- Block , of St. Louis. The wedding oc curred Feb. 27. Immediately after- wnrdaMrs. Baker proceeded to St , Louie , while Air. Baker remained in thin city , leaving hat Saturday noon. The acmowhat atmugo foaturaa of the union were explained by Mr. B. to nn acquaintance , shortly betoro his dep.irUiro. The acquaintance did not Impart the story to any member of the local press. Hla feeling of regard for Mr. B. la too tincoro to admit of inch a pro * ccdure. ( It is never the proper thing to give away a friend. Of courto not. ) But hero Is Mr. B'a/version of the tale of love , nevertheless. For moro than a year ho had been courting a fair maiden , Mlaa Ella , or moro properly , Estolla , whoso father , a wealthy man of St. Louis , lived in a pala tial brown stone front on Morgan street. The parents , bo It aald , were violently opposed to the match , and though the young lady proudly told of a career of 22ycarj , they Insisted that Mr. Baker should cease hla woolnc ; , which could never find a con summation in marriage. But Mr. Baker disagreed. So did Mlts Ella. They put their heads together and aworo by all ilia pin feathers In Copld'a downy wings that they would bo mar ried. ried.Matters Matters came to n crisis. Mr. and Mrs. Gorrutoek determined that it was tlma to take .final and decisive action. Accordingly Miss Ella was placed in ono of the con vents which are scattered through the "Future Great. " Strict aiders were Is sued by the parental duet of match-de stroyers that no communication , verba' or written , should pass between the daughter nd ho ; lover. The Sister Superior promised that this point of com mand should bo scrupulously attended to. to.But But love defies the parental mandate , laughs at ilia feeble precautions of a sis ter superior , Invokes the invisible power * of the air to Its aid. In secret cipher the two lovers almost dally corresponded. The letters were left In a certain place each time , within the precincts of the convent , wera spcad- ily exchanged , hastily opened , road and answered. In this way an exchange of bellet-daux was kept up until about three weeks ago , when nn fortunately sister found ono of the cipher letter * and in eomo mysterious manner descoined the trno inwardness of the affair. She immediately informed the Slater Superior who in turn , Imparted tha horrify ing discovery to the parents. It is needless to comment on the scene ensuing. Miss Ella , confronted by her parents , was informed that her clandes tine correspondence would bo Instantly closed , and forever prevented by the most rigid measures of vigllancn. Again Love throw down the gauntlet of defiance. Miss Ella immediately communicated by messenger with the gentleman against whom the parental edict had gene forth. Ha replied and said that the tlmo had come for declalvo action. She must meet him within three days in Chicago , for which place ho proposed to start immedi ately. From that place they would go Into Iowa or Nebraska , and bo nnitod in that nnlon toward which the feelings of beta had to long and earnestly Inclined. The rest of the story is briefly told. Mies Oomstook and Mr , Baker mot In Chicago , whence they proceeded to DCS Molnea , Iowa. There , for some reason , they could not procure a license. Coming direct to Omaha , the necessary legal papers wore speedily made out for them in Judge McCulloch'n court ( where they are now on lilo ) and the next day the last scone of n most romantic elopement was en acted In the pastoral sanctum of a local parsonage. Mra. Baker is now at homo and has in some measure appeased the parental wrath. Meanwhile Mr. B. made up his mind to asaoit hia rights and claim his bride , and muttering to himself "I will face my father-in-law and my mother-in-law , " ho boarded the train. He baa faced them. Perhaps It were best to draw the cur tain at this point. If yon have a Sere Throat , a Cough or Cold , try B. H : Douglass & Sons' Cap- slum Cough Drops , they are pleasant to the taste , pesfectly harmless and will surely euro you.
