OMAHA'S STREET RAILWAY , , Some Facts and Figures About the System , Brief Historical Sketch Growth of the Enterprise Contemplated Improvement ! , Omaha la growing rapidly. On every hand now Improvement * arc bolng made , pablio and private buildings are goltiR np and in every direction thoroaro discoverable - coverable ovldoncoa of that growth which will serve to develop the oily into the metropolis o ! the great northwest. Ono Important evidence of Omaha's rapid advance toward the metropolitan is her system of street car linos. Spring ing from a small and hnmblo beginning , the system has kept pnco with the im provements of the city , until now it has grown vastly larger , and is from tlmo to tlrao putting forth now branches , aa ne cessity warrants. HISTORICAL. In the spring of 186 ! ) the first street car line of Omaha started to operate. The track ran from the intersection of Ninth and Farnam streets to Fifteenth street and Capitol avonno , a distance of about three-quarters of a mile. The event of the opening had long boon her alded by the newspapers , and the streets wore thronged with people anxious to BOO the first car trip made by the single soli tary car which composed the rollIng - Ing stock of the company. The car was purchased by Qoorgo W. Frost Esq. , aa a discarded Chicago omnibus and was made over into a street car. And when the rickety little appa ratus pasted up Farnam etroot , loaded down with the representative citizens who were participating in the festivities of the occasion , the enthusiasm of the spectators was unbounded. . The omnibus car was soon abandoned and four largo cars put on ; the line was extended from Ninth and Farnam to Ninth and Jones streets on the south , and from Fifteenth struct and Capitol aronuo to Twenty-first and Cumlng streets on the north to whore the present offices and barns are located. The tiack was then two miles long and operated four cars with drivers and conductors. It was controlled and managed by E. B. Chandler. Every ether passenger rode free , being cither a stockholder or "flolld" in aomo way with the management. The road did not pay , but was kepb np by assessments and other moans. A mort gage of $20,000 was placed upon it , and In 1872 it fell into the hands of A. J. Hanscom , Esq. , who returned from Foughkoepslo , N. Y. , to take the road , as ho was the heaviest owner of stock. From the day ho took It , it changed from a losing concern to a money making in stitution. Instead of nearly every one dead-heading , every one paid their faro and this was the se cret of the former losses. In July , 1873 Capt. W. W. Marsh bought Hans- som's ' interest and during the ensuing year extended the Saunders street line to Shlnn's addition making the total trackage at that tlmo 2 miles. The four bob-tall cara now usecl on the Thir teenth street line were then purchased and put In service. In 1875 the Eigh teenth street line was built to Lake's ad dition , comprising two miles of track and operating thrco cara making seven cars used in the city alto gether. In 1870 a track was laid up Tenth street from the depot and th'o cara then first commenced running down Ninth and up Tenth street t o Farnam. The St. Mary's avenue Hue , consisting of two miles of road , from the corner of Farnam street B to Hanscom's park , was built in 1882 , and the Thirteenth street line was finished last fall and cars put on early this year. year.MPKOVEMENTS. MPKOVEMENTS. The street-car company has made many improvements within the past few months and is contemplating further ad ditions this year. By about the first of next month , iho now Farnam street line will bo in operation. This line will be from Fifteenth and Farnam to Jefferson street , thence across Jefferson to Capitol avenue , on which it will run west to a point not yet determined. It Is not yet decided as to whether this line will cross over and connect with the St. Mary's avenue line ; the curves are being laid , with a view to such a thing , al though it will bo impossible to make the move yet , because there are no streets directly open to the avenue. At any rate , it la expected that the cars will bo run ning out on this line within two weeks. On the St. Mary's avenue line three new cars are to bo put on this spring , and the "lay-ovor" at the barn will bo dis pensed with , thus changing the eorvlco from one of twenty minutes as at pres ent to ono of ton minutes. On the Qreen line eight now cars will bo put on , and the twenty mlnnto service will bo changed to ono of ten minntei. Last fall the line ran only to Eighteenth and Lake streets ; It now crosses Like to Saundors. The Rod line ( Twentieth and Soun ders ) has been built out north to a point about two blocks beyond the King street school ; on this line also , the cara will soon be running every ton minutes. The Thirteenth street line IB not making a fortuneas yet ) for the company , but is doing as well aa can reasonably bo ex pected. The company IB undecided as to throwing out the line any further , in a southern direction , and it is not probable that any suoh change will bo made this year. The number of cars are to be doubled however , within a few days , and the running tlmo changed from twenty to ten minutes. It Is the Intention of the company to meet the demands for extra carriage which the baseb&ll games may enforce. The service on the Red line will , as bo- fora stated , bo changed to one of ten minutes , and if there are extra crowds , addltltional cars will be brought Into requisition TUB "PLAHT , " \Vhon the Farnara street extension is complete , there will bo sixteen miles of road In ooeratlon. Of this , five miles are hid with flat rails and paved with granite , and cost to lay $12,000 a mile , or ? GO,000 for the whole. The remaining - 1I 1 ing eleven miles are at present laid with 1I I I for the "eleven miles maklDg an aggregate cost for track of § 115,000. Tha company has boueht eight new c rs this spring , four cf which have arrived and the others will bo' here this week. With these the total equip. mtnt of the different lines Is forty ctrs , of which thirty-three are closed or ordln- aiy caw , ard seven are open or summer o n. They are worth on an avenge 81,000 each nuking $40,000 for all. The o-npsny at pre ent owns 200 horses. They are woth $50 each , making a value for stock of $13,750. The company owns two largo ( tables , and car houses , on Park avenue and the ether on Cum log street. They are north $10,000. Employment is given to over 100 regulars , Including drivers , hostlers , blacksmiths , repairers , etc , an < J from fifty to 100 track-layers during the summer months. The total plant east it will bo soon from the above figures Is nearly $200,000. BUTINO NEW HORSES. In pursuance of its policy of improvement mont , the company intends to add largely ly to Us stable stouk this year. Men have already boon sent out to buy in the St. Louis and Kansas City markets and the present number of horses Trill bs In creased to 275. A reporter in conversa tion yesterday with a gentleman who has charge of this department , learned some interesting facts relative ta the matter of buying and breaking in horsoa for street car work. The animals required mint bo tough and able to stand the strain of heavy work. The stock hitherto has boon pur chased largely in the Kansas City and Chicago markets , and in North Flatto also a largo numoor have boon scoured. An ordinarily docllo animal requires no special training for street car jwork. Once In a white , however , a horse is picked up which is hard to break in , and although In tlmo ho would probably become - come acoustomsd to the work , ho is re placed by some animal moro capable and willing. "In fact " said well , a gentleman posted on the subject , "thera is not the horse living that wo can not in tlmo break into the work , if wo care to take the trouble. " The now animals will bo distributed over the various lines , in proportion to the Increased number of trips which the contemplated changes will necessitate. Smoke Seal of North Carolina To bacco. BOYD-MURPHY CONTEST , The Factions Blect In Battle Array Opening Testimony , This morning at ton o'clock the formel deposition of testimony in the Boyd- Murphy contest for the mayoralty , tras commenced in IJio court of Justice Bart- lott. lott.Tho The attorneys in the case were : E. W. Simoral , Esq. , in behalf of R. 0. Duncan , the contestant , and Mcsera. Woolwortb , Savage and Oonnoll , repre senting Mr. Boyd , whoso title to the office is being contested. The first thing done was the filing of a formal protest by Mr. Boyd's attor neys , against the taking of any testimony in this matter for the reason that the persons before whom the testimony was to bo takou have no jurisdiction to take the same , as the city ordinance under which the pro ceeding was had , was in conflict with the state law relative to contested city elec tions , and that therefore everything done in accordance with the city ordi nance would bo null and void. No official action was taken upon the pro test. test.Tho The first witness called on behalf of tha contestant was Mr. Frank Oolpstzor. lie testified that ho was a resident of this city and an elector in the Fonrth ward ; that on the day of election , the 7th of April , ho worked for the citizens' ticket , spending the whole day in theFlrst ward. Ho testified that he certified to about twelve persons whom he know to bo resi dents of that ward and entitled to vote therein , but ho did not take any oath that he was a resident of the first ward , and did not know that the papers that ho signed were of the nature of an oath , and did not find out that ho was swearing to anything until about four or five o'clock that day. At least ton of the parties for whom ho made these certificates voted for James E. Boyd. In reference to carrying off the ballot box of the first ward ho had nothing to do with it , except that ono of the judges of the election put the box in his buggy , and ho drove with the judge up to the city clork's office , where It was deposited , according to law. The cross examination of Mr. Ool- petzer and the taking of further testi mony in the matter were adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning , at the same place. There is no intention on the part of Mr. Duncan and his friends to drop the prosecution , but on the other hand the fight will bo pushed to the bitter end. Since it has become known that Mr , Boyd's title to the mayoralty was to be contested , the testimony to the frauds on ( the pirt of the Boyd men to secure the election of their chief has been piling up. Wltnescs have been coming forward and volunteering to testify to the barefaced frauds which were perpetrated , and it is now quite probable that Mr. Boyd and his fciends will recognize the serious character of the situation and prepare to make us vigorous a defense as may bo possible. BAILEOAD NOTES , Tbo Present Cat Unto "War-Other Items of Railroad Interest. The cut rate wet on fralght , which Is now raging so fiercely on the Iowa roadi,1 shows no signs of closing at aa early day.

No , I do not think there are " very good prospects for early peace. There are too many complications con * itantly riling to admit of an early settle ment of the difficulty.

THE BUCKINGHAM CLOSED , A Probublllly That it Will bo Re opened Under a Now Mn- acomcnt. The service Monday of several execu tions upon Messrs. Nugont & Green , ol the Buckingham theatre , at last closes up that establishment. These oxecntions are for salaries , supplies and such like things. The probability that it will bo re-opened nndcr a now management seems to dis turb some of those doing business near by. It will bo recollected that a protest against license being granted that firm wan signed by eomo eight or ton business men of that neighborhood , on the ground that the tho-tro , aa run , injured their business , and by some minister of church near by upon the ground that He deviltry interfered with the worship oi God. The police made a complaint thai the honso waa what la known as a disor derly dive , and the victims whom some body wont through , joined in the chorus , and when this orchestra opened and the refrain was joined in by the gang of unpaid employes , the trembling Institution thnt paid nothing and got all tottered to its death hour when , in complete spasm , the "shebang , collapsed. There is no doubt that Nugent & Green can get funds to carry them over their embarrassments ( ? ) if it appears that a variety show will pay hero any longer ; but the BEE suggests and predicts , that tbo day for such places has almost passed , and further predicts that high-priced theatres , opera * , circus * es , and all exhibitions will yield , at no distant day , to that new Idea , which is taking possession of the entire country , viz. , that big shows at small prices draw the crowds , and the crowds make the showman rich.

Monday Mr. Meyera forwarded the plans for court house retaining wall. They consist of apecificationB attached to the general plans adopted by the connty commissioners some six or eight weeks ago. ago.Tho The proposed wall will bo 90 feet long , and that directly in front of the conrt house will bo 15 feet high. A flight of twenty-five stone atepa will lead from Farnam street to the conrt house. The steps will bo six feet long , twelve inches "in the head" and six In "tho rise , " and will approach from cant and west , a land ing 8i3-i feet at their top. From this landing a flight of light stops leads to that conducting ono to the conrt house , aggregating foitynino steps travenod from the street to the voitlbulo of the edifice. In front of the bnildlng an arch will ba constructed Inscribed "Douglas County , 1885. " At its has a the wall will bo five feet thick , ot tbo top two foot nine inches , cot on a foundation of atone and concrete and lurmonntod by eating and surrounded by o balustrade. The commlulonera have not decided upon the material for that part of the wall not yet to bo built , though Borea eandstono will probably bo selected. Bids for thia wall will ] bo at once adver tised for and work begun and pushed , although it ia hardly likely that the whole will bo completed la less than ninety days. > Absolutely Pure.
