A reporter called yesterday upon
Iho encral manager of thu II. & M. nnd
questioned him about the proposed now
roail. " 1 the northwestern line tin us-
mired fact * " was asked.
"I'hc matter Mauds precisely in this
way , " ho replied ; "wo liave hecured our
articles of incorporation , and we propose
to submit thu bcliemo to our board ot di
rectors in lloslon who huvo not as yet
approved it. If we can heenre
their consent the road will certainly bo
nn assured fact "
"What will he the line of the road ? "
"Jt is calculated to run out from Omaha
couth over tin- sun eyed route to Ash
land , and thence northwesterly through
Banndurd , Dodge , Butler and Coltax
counties , and thence wcM , to a point near
the northwest , corner of Custer county ,
where we expect lo connect with the
Grand Island tc Wyoming Central. Sur
veying ban already cominuneed in Colfax
county north of the I'latle , and we shall
cominenee work on the other parts of thu
line assooii as possible. The btirvey will
in all probability bo completed so that
the active work of construction can com
mence next spring , provided the direct
ory decide to build the road. No ( , ir , wo
propose to build the road independ
ently of any local aid. It will
be constructed with our own money.
, t was mentioned to Mr. Iloldrcdge
that a.s street-talk had it , this action on
thu part , of Iho " < i."is simply ft scheme
to "hluir" the Missouri Pacific from pur
suing its plans of building to the north
west. "Well , 1 can't help what people
say , " ho returned , "we think there is
money in this northwest line , and wo
propo&o lo build it if wo can. "

A NIVV KAIMCOAD ruojr.CT.
A new railroad enterprise that is of
more than ordinary importance to west
ern interests is in a fair way of being
speedily consummated. The now line is
to bo known us the Kansas , Nebraska &
Dakota , railway , and is to extend from
Fort Scott , Kan. , in a northwesterly di
rection to Bismarck , Dakota , crossing
Nebraska in an almost straight lino.
The scheme is backed by Pennsylvania
capitalists. , and Mpek is said to bo already
subscribed to the amount of $15,000,000.
The Held presented for such a road
is imincn o. All the lines now
in operation run east and west.
Fort Seott is connected with
Memphis , Tenn. . by the Fort Scott &
Gulf railroad. The projected road will
connect with that line , and , running
north , cross the Burlington at Pawnee
City. It will traverse the richest coal
fields in Kansas and the best .agricultural
portion of the .slate. In Nebraska it
runs through a rich grain belt , and at Bis
marck it expects to get a big share of the
Dakota and Northern Pacitic business.
The road from Fort Scott to Topeka is to
be built at once , and the entire line , it is
oxpcutcd , will be completed by January ,
1887. It will bu astandard gauge , feted-
rail line , and will bo lir&t-clu&s in every
respect. The line from Fort Scott to To-
jioka will be IL'O miles and the distance
to Bismarck is COO miles.

Mormons are being introduced into the

An Interview With the Hilltop.
Bishop O'Connor returned yesterday
from a trip through the stale where he
has been visiting the various parishes
under his charge. A reporter for the
BIK drove out to his residence near thu
Sacred Heart couvcttt last night and
had an interview with the distinguished
divine.
"No , " said the bishop in answer1 to the
reporter's leading query , "I have not yet
received from the pope oflicial notice of
my appointment as bishop of the diocese
of Nebraska and Wyoming. All 1 know
about the matter is what I have scon in
the associated press dispalchcs. 1 Hip-
pose the papers may bo expected hero any
day , and probably will arrive here before
the last of the month. The pope may
decide to send them to this country by
Dr. O'Connell , president of the Ameri
can College , who has been in Koine for
some time past. "
" \Vas tliosubject of your appointment
as bishop discussed by jou witn the popu
when you were in Homey"
"But very little. . In December the con
ference among other things passed a resolution
elution requesting Iho pope to make a
regular diocese of thu vioariato of Ne
braska , and thu petition was forwarded
to Home soon after. No , I did not solicit
the appointment. In fact I was entirely
indillercnt as to whether it was made at
all , but informed the conference that if 1
were appointed to the place 1 would not
decline lo serve. "
"Will the change affect your plans in
any way ? "
' 'No , not so far as I can tell you now.
It is rather too early to talk about that
now. The work will bo about the same ,
the Held similar in extent. In dropping
the title of Bishop of Debonah , whicli 1
have held simply in a titular capacity ,
and assuming that of Bishop of Omaha ,
I .simply gain a greater measure of power
and distinction. "
" 1 have returned from a pretty ex
tended tour throughout my territory , "
ho continued , "having gone out as far as
Kvanston. I find everything in ; i nour
ishing and extremely satisfactory condi
tion. " Being asked to give some figures
about thu Catholicism in his territory ,
Bishop O'Connor said : "When 1 took
charge of this vicariate , the territory
comprised all of Nebraska , all of Wyom
ing , all of Dakota west of the Missouri
river , and all of Montana cast of the
Kooky mountains. It has since been re
duced , as you know , so that it now com
prises but Nebraska and Wyoming. At
that time there were41 churches in thu
vicariate. Now with very reduced terri
tory there are more than ICO. At that
time the Catholic population was 12,000.
Now it is about 7. > ,000. Besides , this we
have 83 missions , most of which will soon
be largo enough to warrant the appoint
ment of a priest. So tl it you can easily
see thewondurfiil growth of Catholicism
in the viuariate. "
"How are your colonies prospering ? "
"Finely. In Grccly county nearly all
the land , 45,000 acres , has been taken up.
In that colony there are now about 121K )
families. This is only the nucleus of other
eolonics. The most of these people are
from the cast , very few being from the
old country. The colony system in this
vicariate has been a decided success , so
far as wo have been abie to try it. We
have been cramped for land. Consequently
quently have not been able to carry our
experiment as far in this direction a.s we
could wish. " The colonies num
ber now about forty , of
which about thirteen are Irish and the
balance Bohemian , German and Polish.
Tne tirst ono was initiated about thirty
years ago in .laekson , Dakota , which is
now the wealthiest , probably , in the
northwest Yes , so jar as I know , Bishop
Ireland's colonies in Minucsola have
turned out a success , noticeably the Ad
rian colony. "
"Will the pope , in your opinion , ap
point a new cardinal in the piaco of Car
dinal MuCloske.vV"
"His hard to say. Pius , thu Ninth ,
conferred thu titlu upon Cardinal Mo-
Clo.-key largely as a honor to American
Catholicism ! in which he was profoundly
interested. Archbishop C'orrigan will
asiuinu the duties of tnu dead cardinal ,
but of course as to whether the pope will
appoint a new cardinal it is dillicult to
surmise. " _
A Woman's Story.
Thursday night there arrived in this city
a lady of perhapsI ! or 21 years of ago
handsomely dressed and of rather pra
po &o.ssing appearance having with her
a little two-year old child. She went at
once to thu Metropolitan hotel , where
she registered under the name of Mrs.
Jones of Kansas City.
A reporter learning yesterday Unit the
story of the woman was a peculiar one ,
pressed her for lltoparticulaisof her mis
sion here. She readily consented , and told
the following .story. "My real naniu is
Mrs. Kato Splt/ncr , and lam from Galesburg -
burg , 111. 1 have eomo to Nebraska to
look for my husband. About ten weeks
sigo my husband , who was a busim s
mini in Galcshurg , came to Ne
braska lo buy Mime land
as hu said. IIu went to Axtell and lliero
made a largo purchase. When passing
through Hastings , he fell in witlinyoung
woman working in one of the hotels , bu-
came infatuated with her , and the up
shot of this mutter is that the two have
been living together as mail and wife
hineo thai linn . He brought her to Oma
ha , and them left her , returning to ( Sales-
burg , whiiio ho paid mo a brio ! visit , tel
ling me , of courno.nnthing ol his Nubras-
Kii mistress. He said that business com
pelled him at onee. to return. I begged ,
and implored him to take me and my
child with him. It was of no u.-o. Ho bald
that hu would neither May in Gah'sburg
nor take his family with him to
Nebraska. IIu disappeared , coming
diieet to Omaha , and thence going.out
went. Several weeks ago I came out
heru intending to hunt him up and make
him do thu right thing by mo. 1 tracked
him to Holdredgi ) , where 1 had him ar
rested. 1 had no friends and ho had
many , nnd the concqucnc.o was that 1
was'obliged lo iHsmitd the pro-oeutlon.
He then took my child away Ironi me ,
lir-U drugging muyith opium , I ap
pealed lo the authorities and alter a time
rocoxurcd my baby who \ but two years
of age. My husband refuses to return
with mu , saving that hu loves that girl
bent , and will have nothing moro to do
with mo. YVs , 1 shall give up In despair ,
though I am willing to take him back , if
hu will only In-the husband to mo that hu
wasjeuis ago. \\hnt shall I do ? Ku-
turn to my mother In ( Jale. burg , I pro-
Minn ; , 1 am afraid that him will nvivcr re
the suffering I have gone throng !
since I left home to look for my hus

Mrs. Spitzner tolls si great nianj

tried to murder her by the knife and bj
lioi.'on , how repented attempts have beei
made to take her baby from her , etc. Slu

Her stories , however , are best taken will

A Now Industry.
On fho river bottoms , no.ir the cornei
of Sixth and Jones streets , .stands tlu
new wood-working lactory which is li ,
ing put up by Mr. John F. Coot. " , tlu
well-known builder of this city. This cs
tabliMnneiit , really the first of the kinc
ever started in Omaha , is to bo operate * '
on an extensive scale , and will bo tlu
largest wood-working factory westof tin
Missouri river.
It is worthy of a somewhat extendei
description , as being an important addl
lion to the industries of Omaha.
The buildings are strongly nnd sub
stantially built of wood and brick. Tin
machine shop is a long building ( iOxfll
feet , while above it , in the second storr. .
is the cabinet-making shop , whicli is Ul >
00 feet. This building runs north and
finuth , and adjoining it on tin
west is the .loining shop , ! 10.\
feet , which attached tlu.

are the drying kilusone for the hard wood
work , the other for the ordinary varie ,

ner also is the boiler and engine room ,
with a smoke stack 05 feet high , which is
7 feet broad at the base , tapering lo a
width of 4 feet at the ton. In addition
to these main buildings there are others ,
such as the coal house , lumber roomy ,
store rooms , etc. , which are within easy
access.
The machinery , part of whicli is to bo
entirely nowis of the latest and most ap
proved sort. All kinds of wood work
such as carving , turning , joining , and in
fact everything in that line will bo done.
It is anticipated ! that by next week the
buildings will bo completed , the ma
chinery in and everything ready for the
commencement of operations. The es
tablishment has capacity for the employ
ment of from 15' ) to 200 men , though at
lirsta much smaller number ofhands'
say fifty will will be put to work.
The work of constructing the factory
buildings lias been going on .since July
under the direction of Mr II. Berry , Mr.
Coots assistant. He informed the
reporter that in all probability the
cost of the entire plant would be about
$ : > 0,000.

The prediction made by the "Hymen-
ometer" several weeks ago , that : i cer
tain young gentleman ( having charge of
the Missouri Pacific businessat the Union
Pacilio local freight olliee ) would soon
take unto himself a partner for life ,

An Important Suit.
Yesterday Mrs. Mary Kellogg , of Now
Orleans , and wlfu of the Hon. William
Pitt Kellogg , commenced suit in equity
in the United States court against James
G. Chapman , of this city , to recover the
deed to a strip of laud eight foot wide
and several hundred feel loii , imme
diately south of what \ known as the
Kellogg property on Farnam street , bo-
twcen Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth ,
and Farnam and Harnev.
The circumstances of ibis can > have al
ready been briefly reviewed lu these col
umns. Nearly twenty-two years ago
James G. Chapman transferred lo Mr.
Kellogg thu property under considera
tion , convoying- and intending to convoy ,
as is alleged , the entire section of land.
The limits of the property wens plainly
defined und understood , it is claimed ,
and nrn still to be , < * ocn in the
o'd platted record. IThls was before
Farnam street was opened to the pres
ent limif.s. When thati thoroughfare
was opened , there occurred a slight dis
crepancy of eight feet hcUrcon the origi
nal recorded survey and tluJ How survey.
The diderenee , which technically made
Mr. Chapman the possessor of the eight
foot strip was not discovered until just
the other day Of course as the mailer
stands at present IhH "will prevent Mr.
Kellogg from giving a clear title to the
property.
Mr. Mllhird ami Mn.Barton arc desir
ing to purchase a poitioii- this prop
erty , but of course are unwilling to buy
it with a Haw in tlio title. Accordingly
this suit is brought by Mrs. Kellogg , the
present owner of the property , to secure
u clear title.

It was intended Thursday lo present
thu Union Paeilio club , in its full
strength , against the Amazons of the bat
and sphere. Yesterday three of the
members of the. club , who for charity's
sake shall bo nameless. , came down town
with long faces and said that they
guessed they would have to decline to
play on Sunday. Pressed for an expla
nation , the trio broke into the .sombre
chorus. "Because our wives won't letus. "
Sure enough the holler halves of the
three married men of the U. P.'H had
held an indignation meeting last night ,
at which some very emphatic resolutions
were pasted. The upshot is that the
game will be played with three substi
tutes.

A Tussle For a Tloker.
In Selden's court yesterday the case
of Moohle vs. Buchanan & Co was on
trial. The suit is one where the plaintill'
Mochle , who is a pawnbroker on Fat-ham
street , brings suit against them to recover
a watch replevined by > Bifehinan ; & Co. ,
the well known jewelry firm of this city.
It appears that two young bloods applied
to the hitler firm to buy two watches on
time-payments. The request was granted ,
and the tickers turned over. One of the
purchasers made a payment of $30 on his

lung disease is really one of liver com
plaint and indigestion , but , unless that

lungs , iu its worst form. Nothing can be
more happily calculated to nip this
danger in the bud than is Dr. Pierco's
