to the Omaha committee of the Omnha &
Northern railway to build one hundred
miles of road directly to the northwest

the extent : of . 150,000 by the city and
< tyurily anil tlie donation of Jefl"er < on
Squiire for depot grounds and union de
pot purposes. This proposition was pre
sented by lion. John A. McSliane in be
half of the parlies who propose to build
the road , and the olVcr was unanimou."lj
jicccploxl by the committee , of which
Wax Meyer , president of the board of
trade , i.s tlie chairman. It should bo nn
ilnrotood that this pronosttion Is as yet In
nn informal jjhapo. Another meeting of
the commiti/ will be hold , when all the
preliminaries will be arranged and prop

that these bonds shall bear
( B per cent interest and run
five years. One half of the amount IH to
bo paid when the road in completed and

thabomlH nru to be conditional in that
they 'can bo given to any corporation

the road will probably be built for the
distance of one hundred miles within
one year. _

Two Men Injured on llio Union Pacific
TrneiiH Imt > t M
Jiist at dark last evening James Bloom ,
a swljtolunan , while attempting to board
tt'inoVing locomotive on the Union Pa-
fiifip.tracks at the Sixteenth street cro s-
Jug , fell under the w heels and lost both
legs , lie had gone forward to set n
switch , and waiting until thu engine ran
by endeavored to spring aboard. His
feet slipped on the wet Mops and ho fell
on the track , the heavy drivers and the
trucks of the tender passing over his legs
just above the knees. Thu accident was
not observed by those upon the locomo.
tivo , but another switchman , further
riown the track , had seen the unfortu-
liate mini's lantern fly into the air as he
fell , and guessing its significance
tiignallcd a stop. Bloom was taken
10 St. Joseph's hospital , where
Brs. unlbraitb and Hofi'man amputated
both legs , and he will probably recover.
The untorttinatc man resides in this city ,
his home being at the corner of Nine
teenth and Castellar slreuts. Ho has ft
wife and four children.
About an hour after the foregoing ac
cident. K. B. Rhodes , an employe of the
Union Pacific on the Council Blurt's side ,
was knocked down by tin engine in the
Omaha j'ards near the depot. Rhodes
was standing on a track waiting the pas
sage of a long freight and , shielding his
face against the driving rain , failed to
notice a switch engine bearing down
upon him. It hi nick him violently in the
fiidi ) , and. Uircw him several feet , but
forUmately oil' the track. When picked
lip It was discovered that one of his
shoulders was dislocated and his boily
badly bruised. Ho was taken at once
to Dr. ( Jalbraith's ollico in Spaflbrd's
drug store on Thirteenth street , where ,
in tjio absence of the company surgeon ,
Ur1. Lti'cke attended his injuries. Rhodes
was co'in'-eyed thuuce to his home at No ,

Lieut. Dan Kingmiin , of the engineer
ing branch of the department of the
Finite , has just returned from his sum
mer's stay at Yellowstone Park , where he
jias been in charge of the work of con
structing' roads and bridges. Ho was
met by si reporter of the Bun yesterday ,
who buzzed him on the subject of the
condition anil imurocmcnt of the park ,
etc. , etc. "The appropriation of con
gress for thu improvement of the Yellow-
atone national park this year , " ho said ,
' 'was ? 40 , < )00. ) ' Of this amount $2t,000 !
was expended in thu actual work of mak
ing roads , bridges , and other similar im
provements , under my supervision. The
balance was cxpondcil in salaries and in
cidental expenses. 1 think that the appro
priation for next year ought to bo
larger , and 1 hono'-tly believe that it
will biC There has been a larger num
ber of visitors than usual at the park
this year , and among them have been
many mumtyors of congress , who , while
delighted with the natural beauties of
{ he place , and thu work of improvement
BO far as it has gone , yet see that there
Js room for Other improvements in the
wayof-moru roads and bridges , which
will unvtt to enhance the advantages of
the park. In this way 1 believe a pres
sure will be brought to bear upon con
gress for a larger appropriation for
J88 < i , which is cert iinl > needed. During
the past few months tlio work of buihl-
Jng bridges and laying out roads has
been going on at a rapid rate , nnd more
lias been done in this- direction , 1 think ,
tjluin during any previous year. The
weather , however , has nut n stop to the
work for this * eason. "
1 , Being questioned about the scheme to
allow thu northern part of thu purl ; to
tyo traversed by the projected Cook City
Railroad , Lieut. Kingman said that ho did
xiotthiiik.iudgiugfromwhatho had ncard ,
that the plan Would bo successful. "Last
year congress considered a scheme to cut
oil' the' northern section of the
park , comprising FOIIIO 500,000 acres ,
which wus to be deeded to the Cook City
yallroad v This bill came very near pass
ing , but fulled. 1 do not think there is
any danger of its now being carried
through. The men who have this pro
jected rallroail In charge , as perhaps you
know , claim that to roach a certain rich
mining-country northeast of the Yellow-
Btonu Psjrk which is Just belnjjopmiod up ,
they must cro-s the northern cud of
the nark. 1 do not think that Is necessary
at all , but 1 do not wish to express any
opinion us to whj tht-i are trying to get
lids bill through congress. I nndcr-
ftaud that this year the scheme will bu
to have congress allow the railroad thn
tight of way through thu northern end of
the park. "

Election t'ni'nitliernnlln.
County Clerk Beneke has already pre
pared and ready for wirvlco the boxes
and other paraphernalia which go to
equip a polling place at the coining clec
lion In tliis county.
The lilies on this occasion require
three ballot boxes at each precinct in the
city. One is necessitated fuf the receipt
of the votes on candidates , while two are
demanded for the two bond questions
which arc presented for the public judg
ment. It will be decided throughout
the county ( Including city ) whether tin-
sale of the cant llfty acres of the poor
tarm should be matin for tile benefit of
further building on the county alms
property , and In the city the usual an
mini paving bonds will have to be voted
upon.
As the county outride of the city limits
is not bothered with considerations of
Omaha's paving , two boxes at each neil
will only be required. As there are tliir
teen precincts in the county , twenty-six
boxes will have to be provided and the
county clerk says that these are now in
readiness.
The city with il.s ten precincts demands
thirty boxes and these also , with the ex--
( option of two , are prepared. Tlie di
vision of the Fourth and Sixth wards
into two precincts each , Mnco the last
county election , llnds the city short in
their provision and Judge Beneke has
now two tin receptacles in progress of
construction.
The mayor has ordered that the
Judges and clerks appointed in the city
by the county for accounting the bond
ballots shall also servo the city in the
same capacity. This action will avoid
much confusion and delay as when the
county judges anil clerks were Appointed
by the commissioners they were not aware
that the city would consider : i bond
question.
It may prove of interest to know that
the services of a judge or clerk earn him
$ -1.00 for every day he is required to sict.
In the event of an iuvolod ballot , the job
is worth considerable money.

Gen. Breck showed n reporter yesterday
the report which he had received from
Col. Chlpmaii , of the Seventh infantry ,
who is now at Rock Springs , with regard
to the recently reported anti-Chinese riot
at that place The report was that some
of the Chinese in a section house had
been mobbed by some
Col , Chipnian is inclined to think that
the allair has been somewhat exaggerat
ed. He says :
"Loss than fifty feet from the Chinese
section hou o there lives a family with
whom the section boss boards and the
man of the hou o works for thu railway
company in the yard. Both these men
were in this house hous ut the time , it. is
alleged , the outrage occurred , and were.
not disturbed by any noise. The section
bo 5 and the man of the house were not
at home when I called , but I saw the
man's .wife who told me that she was
up at 11:30 : that night giving medicine to
bur sick child , and that she heard no
noise at all , and that if there had been
much disturbance ornoKo she nniit have
heard it , and that they knew nothing of
the occurence until the next morning.
' 'There was a dancein a house almost
opposite the Chinese section house
on the night referred to , and It is
the opinion that the stones were thrown
through the windows by unruly boys and
that it was not done by miners or per
sons from Rock Springs. The windows
of the house wore broken , but no one
was hurt , and I cannot discover that
anyone was driven into the hills.
"There are five deputy slieriU's on duty
every night at Rock Springs , and the
place is kept quiet and onierly. The
military company is so situated between
China-town and Rock Springs that
nearly everything going on can bo seen
and hearn if much noise is made. It is
impossible- guard each individual
Chinaman , but if they will come into
the Chinese camp , which is surrounded
by sentinels , they will bo perfectly pro
tected. * * "
"There are 700 or 800 Chinamen here.
I do not think there is the slightest dan
ger of any organized attack on thu Chi
nese by any considerable number of
miners. There will be isolated cases of
assault by individuals when Chinamen
arc wandering about alonu in
secluded places , and out of sight of any
one who would be likely to interfere to
protect them. 1 do not think it at all
necessary to have a mounted patrol in
Rock Springs.
"There has been no disturbance ot any
kind reported to mesincothc occurrence
at the section house. "

Nelson Jahn , a Scandinavian' settler
near Valley , was io town yesterday morn
ing to report to the commissioners his
recent disastrous experience and to
claim compensation for damages.
He states that on Sunday last ho had
started to drive from Ills liom.oto.Klk-
horn City , lie drove a team to a heavy
\ \ agon and was accompanied by his son ,
a small boy. It was the first time , ho had
over attempted the journey , and unac
customed to the road , lost the way and
arrived at the. Klkhorn river at a point
a mile below the regular ford. ' ' The
stream was comparatively lownnd fearing
'
ing nothing , he procoode'd ni > tlui bank
until hn reached some rillle shallows
which Deemed to offer secure passage.
The bank was a trille steep where he en
tered and the wagon bore hard upon the
horses. The animals .stepped in and in
stead of finding footing on a rooky bottom
'
tom the soil 'yielded as freely as Avatcr
beneath their hoot's , and they plunged
forward , the wagon pitching over on
them , lalin andTiis boy went hoadmo t
into the midst of the stream , and found
themselves at at once in an almost inex
tricable quagmire. By the most heroic
elVorts the father succeeded in grasping
his son and reaching the wagon , over
which they safely attained the f-horo.
The horses , held down by the Wagon ,
struggled in vain to relieve themselves
and sank .steadily to death.
Jahn subsequently drew out his wagon
with the aid of neighbors , and was uble
to fish upon the dead hordes siitliciently to
remove the harness. Jahn thinks he
should get damage ? from the county for
the treacherous condition of the stream.

A IjlQUOlt IjAAV POINT.
Important Dccinioit ol Justice
in n AVine Account Suit.
Justice Weiss yesterday rendered a
decision which lias most important bear
ing , as precedent , upon the liquor traf
fic of the state. The case at hand was a
suit to recover $120 on account brought
by Louis Sues & Co. , wholesale liquor
dealers of Cincinnati , Ohio , agiyusl.'lJd-
ward Wiltig of this city. "Some time
since Mr. Wittig purchased of an agent
of the complainants a case of champagne.
The agent , before leaving the city , con
tracted quite a score with Wittig
from drinks , etc. , charging the same to
the account ot" his house. Later on the
agent left the concern and Sues
A : Co. refused to stand good
for his bill to Wittig de
manding ut the same the payment of
$1'J ! ) for the wines delivered. Mr. Wittig
had no resource but to challenge them to
collection and this the Cincinnati linn
proceeded to do by entering suit in Jus
tice Weiss' court. The dofen-e fought on
the plea that the complainants could not
collect as their deal with him had been
in violation of the Slocumb law. To this
Sues & Co. replied that their agent had
not represented them with power to clo- /
the bargain , but as a mere solicitor of
trade had taken the order and referred it
to the I'udgment of the firm. Judge
Weiss , however , held that the agent
represented Sues & Co. with doscrction ,
that his acts in their name became their
responsibilities , and in consequence ren
dered judgment for Wittig.
k * If this view of the case is the proper one
it might barely possible that all liquor
firms of the east trading through agents
fccnt hither , might by process ol extradi
tion be brought here and rendered crim
inally liable to the laws , much the frame
as has been done locally with the propri
etresses of the houses of prostitution.
Justice Weiss' decision finds support in
recent rulings of both the .state supreme
and Douglas county courts.

Another day was devoted in United
States court to thoiuniinished business In
the May term. Although there will bo
no court to-day , it is .still evident
that a portion of some day Is still fur
ther required to close up the docket.
Out of the dozen men concerned In the
Valentino land fraud , commonly
known as thn Legnan ! cases , of a
year ago , and still pending as
far as the prosecution of Legnard
and Florence is concerned , one alone has
not been found. This man is Martin
Nehon , a temporary resident of Cherry
county , who was imolved in the land
peculations and lied at the moment of
their disclosure. He has never been
traced a mile from Valentine , and his
whereabouts have failed to yield to the
most persistent search and inquiry.
A reporter conversing jesterday
with iv United States attorney upon this
fact , now brought to attention by
the approaching term of court which
will revive the piwooutioim , was ( struck
with n. piece of recollection.
Last December a certain Martin Nelson.
jn t arriving from the north west , dropped
dead from heart disease at the Northwestern -
western railroad depot in this city. An
inquest was held and the remains buried
in fair decency by friends who quietly
claimed them. Very little was known
about the deceased , and as his dernl.se
occurred on a day fraught with casual
ties the newspapers paid little attention
to it and the epi.sodo was fa t lost to
memory.
The recital of this event caught the at
tention of the attorney and n search of
the records of both sides of .the ea-e will
be made in the possible hope of attach
ing the identity of the dead Nelson to
that of the missing defendant.

out any foundation , the paper neglected
to publich a denial of the report from the
stock yards company when requested to
do .so. The following letter from the
superintendent of the company explains
itself-
KniTouHr.K The articles published in
the Omaha Republican October 22 and 23
in regard to the stock yards discriminat
ing in favor of Chicago .commission
houses , : ind the indignation meeting of
commission men at the Omaha stock
yards , is not true. The meeting consisted
only of one manwho , considers himself a
commission man , but he i.s not so styled
by the other commission men doing busi-
nc'-s at the yards. As a commission man
be is a failure , but as a kicker he is a
great success ; he is about the si/.e of a
Chinaman's foot. 1 > am surprised at the
Kepublican publishing any Mich articles
without good authority , and especially
without consulting ihe other commission
men at the stock yards and the Mock
yards people. As for lavormg the Chicago
cage honse.s , there is not one word of
truth in it , and there is not a single in
stance but what we have given Omaha
men the preference. J. I' . HOM > ,

John Campbell , a hard character , well
known in police circles , hailed Ollicer
O'Boyle yesterday afternoon on South
Thirteenth street , and asked that hit ,
step-father , Albeit Constantine , be ar
rested for committing an assault on him.
Campbell's face was cut and bruised and
was covered with blood , which he said
was the result of his father's attack.
O'ltoylo accompanied him to the house ,
on Jones street , near Thirteenth , and ar
rested both Constantine and the young
man , and escorted them to tlie city jail.
Both had been drinking to s-omo o\tent.
Constantine did not deny assaulting the
3 oung man , hut asserted that his father
and wife were as much to blame as ho
was , and he wanted them aNo arrested.
The police , however , decided not to com
ply with the roqne-t Campbell was only
rcli'i * ed from confinement a short time
ago , hsu ing , crvcd a nciiteuc-j tor a rob
