Saturday has l > ccn llxod for tlio hearing
of arguments on tlio motion for ft now
tritil inailo by Laner's attorneys. Tlio
motion , of course , will bo argued before
Judge Neville , General Cowin and Mr.
Estullo representing tlio state , and J. M.
Thurston and Judgu Savage tlio defonoo.
Laucr Is anxious to have i\ now trial or
professes to be and liis attorneys say
that In the event that Judge Neville de
nies tlio motion for a now trial , tlio mat
ter will bo taken to the supreme court.
But IIU not thought that such a course
will bo pursued by Judge Neville ; and in
fact it Is pretty well known that he ! H of
tlio opinion that tlio verdiet of the jury
was not in accordance with tlio evidence
brought out. Ho has never openly ex
pressed himself as dissatisfied with tlio
verdict , because it was not ono of second
decree , but has nevertheless remarked
on several occasions that tlio ( hiding of
tlio juriJwnvurr | "peculiar. " A prominent
attorney , speaking of the matter to u
reporter yestonhly , said that lie had re
ceived information.on good authority.that
Judgu Novillu had about decided tourunt
the motion for a new trial , unless cogent
reasons for not doing so were
brought out in the arguments next Satur
day. "I am very sure , " said he , "Hint
Judge Neville is not at all satisfied with
the verdiet. because it is not in accord
ance with Ills instructions , : iml lias dis
tinctly said that it is not in line with the
evidence which was clearly laid before the
jury. It is fair to presume
that ho means that the find
ing should have been cither mur
der in the second degree or acquittal. So
that the defense want a rehearing of tlio
case because they believe that the verdict
is unjust to Lauor , while the judge is
wjlling that they should have the new
trial because , in all probability , ho be-
JiLWCS that Iho verdict calls for too light
a punishment. "
It is tlio general opinion among those
well posted on the matter that it a new
trial is had it will not ho held in Douglas
county , but either in Hurt or Washington
county , or possibly in some other district.
General Cowin says that if the case is
tried again , now aim important evidence
nganiit Lnuor , which was not introduced
at the trial recently closed , will bo
brought in. Mrs. Ncllio Havens , the sis
ter of Mrs. Sallic Lauer , was not able to
testify at the first trial on account of
sickness , but would bo put on the stand ,
with other important witnesses whoso
names arc held in reserve.

Tlio Union Pacific Announce Another
Cut In Pariscugor Kates.
All day long yesterday the officials of
the passenger department of the Union
Pacific were closeted in consultation over
some momentous matter. The knowing
ones averred that something was "going
to drop. " At about 5 o'clock last night
it dropped. The Union Pacific an
nounced the deepest cut of the season in
Transcontinental passenger rates.
" \Vo have placed the rate , botli first-
class and emigrant , " said General Ticket
Agent Stubbing to a reporter for the Bun ,
"nt ? 3 not. Tlio iirst-clasH rate to the
coast is $30 with a rebate of $25 upon
reaching destination ; $20 for second-class
with a rebate of § 15. "
"You seem to bo forcing the fight ? "
"Yes , that is our object.Vo are cot-
ting into the hottest part of the battle. "
"Do you thiilk that there are any pros
pects for nn immediate termination of the
light ? "
"No , I don't. It is hard to make any
predictions about the length tir result of
the war. "
"Was this cut made to meet ono made
by the Southern Pacific roads ? " queried
the reporter.
"Not exactly"said Mr. Slobbins. "Tho
Santo Po announced n $0 rebate to tlio
coast for first-class and $5 not for emi
grant. Wo go them ono bettor , and make
the rate § 5 for both emigrant and lirst-
class. "
Tlio committee of the Knights of Labor
representing tlio difl'oront divisions of
the Union Pacific , called upon General
Manager Gal lawny and General Superin
tendent Smith yesterday to submit their
demands for the restoration of the old
schedule ) of wages.
They were elosotcd nearly all day in
Superintendent Smith's ' ollico , but nt
night had reached no conclusion. It is
thought that to-day's developments will
throw some light upon the vuxcd ques
tion toward which these negotiations are
directed.
A circular has been issued by thu 11. &

as briKiuUor Kimoriil , but is novurlholuss
preparing to leuvo Oiualm within tlio
next two weeks.
Speaking of tlio changes in tlio mili
tary world which will take place within
tlio next few weeks , tlio Army and Navy
Register says : "The departure of CJennral
U'orry and General Howard from tholr
present headquarters will Involve several
changes in the commtuxls of other do-
parlmonts than the = o over which they
Imvo recently boon placed. M'o are in
formed tlmt General Crook is strongly de
sirous of loturning to tlio department of
tjto Plattu , and that probably his wishes
will bo acceded to. Ho will thoteforo
succeed General Howard , and ono
of the now brlgniliur generals
\vill perhaps bo assigned to the de
partment of Arizona. General Elites will
cmito likely bo transferred from the de
partment of Missouri to the department
of Dakota , the latter being a larger and
moro Important department than thu ono
lui now has. Whether ono of the now
brigadier generals will bo assigned to the
department of the Missouri , or whether
further reasbigiiments of commands will
bo made it is too early to say , but this
will doubtless be determined next week.
or as soon as the now appointments shall
have been made and continued. "
Further the same journal eaj's : "It Is

Howard to bo a major general in tlio

J , T. Jticlccraon , St. fanl , Minn. :
'Withoutdoubt ' the ice carnival was a
teat thing for St. Paul in the way of ad-
ertising it through the length and
breadth of the land , as a lively and pro
gressive city. I do not think that the
irojcclors of the scheme made money out
of It , so far as individual dividends are
concerned , though of course the mer
chants , as a class , profited greatly from
lie fact that the crowd of visitors spent
money lavishly. Yes , next year the car
nival will bo repeated , though I do not
liink on &o grand a scale as this year.
The neighboring cities of Fargo , Dululh ,
etc. , will probably take up the scheme
nnd have nn ice palace carnival , which
circumstance will naturally affect
ho attendance upon the ono to bo
icld in our city. The strikes
n the southwestern country huvo not af-
'cetcd business in St. Paul a particle. On
.ho contrary it has rather helped matters
i ) ) our way , because it has sent tlio bulk
of the west bound pa&iongor tralllc
through St. Paul. "
T. I ) . Lane , St. Louis , Mo. : "Yes , sir ,
Iho trade of St. Louis and in fact the en
tire southwestern country has been par
alyzed by the great strikes. I do not be-
levo that trade in our city will recover
.Is elasticity for the next six months to
come. Tlio damage to the merchants
; hcroI believe , has already mounted into
tlio millions. To bo sure , after the long
suspension of trallic , business will start
.igain with a boom , which will partly
make up for losses caused by the strike. "
Jiul/cJ. C. Crawford , West Point , Neb. ;
"Yes , the West Point creamery is now
out the hands of the receivers appoint-
) d by the United States court and is be-
ng operated by the original company
which bought it. Politics in our section
of the country arc not cooling yet , and
tlioro is very little that I can tell you on
that point. In our county , Cuming , the
sentiment I think is against Van Wyck
is the coming senator. That is very nat
ural of course , as West Point and Cum
ing county are the strongholds of the
Valentino clique , who arc quite naturally
opposed to Van Wyek. In Madison
county , however , the talk is that Van
Wyek delegates will bo sent to the con
vention. In Knox county , I think , tiio
sentiment is prutty evenly divided. The
democrats in our part of the state are
talking Boyd as tlio coining candidate on
their ticket.

A. J. McFarland is a jolly colored in

licartcd. He appeared at police head
quarters late in tlio afternoon and made
a complaint that Sing Kcc , tlfo celestial
laundryman , had refused to return
clothing which had been left at his wash-
liouso to bo cleansed. "I doan cure for
do shirts " said McFarland "
, jcdgo , , "only
it's fifteen days to pay day an' I can't
buy no moah till don an' I hate tp go
without a bilcd shirt. " Judge Stenherg ,
to whom McFarland addressed his re
marks , told the complainant that there
was no redress for his case , except to sue
the Chinaman , for it was not a criminal
offense. "I haven't any sympathy for
you , " continued Ids honor , "for you
might have known bettor than to trust a
Chinaman and especially that bad one.
Sing Kco. " McFarland grinned , and as
ho backed toward the street said : "Well ,

OMAHA , March 29 , 1880.
The old Izard mansion , on the corner of
22nd and Webster streets , is being torn
down , having been sold by Mr. John A.
CronrlitoH to contractors who propose to
sell the brick'and IronQand wood for
what they will bring at "junk prices. "
Tliu old building lias , with the lapse of
years , become old and shaky , and is fast
crumbling to pieces. The windows are
gone , doors have fallen , the roof is torn
us though the business-end of a cyalono
had struck It , and , altogether , the struc
ture presents but a sorry picture.
The house has been the sccno of many
a distinguished gathering , and if its
walls could gather voice and speak they
could toll many a tale of events that hap
pened in the early days , in which the Ne
braska pioneersmost of them having long
slnco died , figured prominently. It was
built in 1850 by Governor Izard , who suc
ceeded Cuming , and was .occupied by
him during his two years stay in Omaha.
After ho loft this city thu place was
sold , and passed through different
hands until it became pint of
Crcighton estate. Among these who at
different times owned tholiouso wasStevo
Elkins , who afterwards became famous
as the Now York politician and wire
puller. At ono time not moro than three
or four years ago , the old mansion was
said to bo haunted , though the proofs of
the ghostly violations weru not' forth
coming. 1-or the last few years'thehouso
has been uuteuauted.

A Hip Cnse.
A motion In a very important c.aso was
argued before Judge Dundy in chambers
yesterday afternoon. The c.aso is that of
llcntty vs. Dow , and it directly involves
about three-quarters of the business part
of Hastings , the amount at stake being
something like $200,000.
Knotty stated the case is this : When
the town of Hastings was lirst iaid out
tlio town fell into possession of n town
company organized on the stock plan.
The company delegated to certain per
sons tlio power of attorney , nnd-these
persons uscil the Dower thus given them ,
it is claimed , wrongfully , and disposed of
many lots without making any returns
to thfj company. After the old stock
organization broke up those same persons
who , as alleged , had dishonestly used
their powers of attorney formed a new
company and disposed of tlio balance of
the property. Some of the lots thus
posed of have fallen into possession of
Mr. Beutty , while the defendant in the
action , Mr. Dow , still holds a
tillo to the very same lots
by virtue of tlio ownership of the old
company. The matter stood in this wise
when a few months ago Dow began flint
in ejectment to force Ueatty to give up
the property which ho hem. Bcatty , by
way of "getting back" at his legal en
emy , commenced n suit in the United
States court to quiet the old title of Dow.
Mr. U. O. Hall , tlio attorney for Mr. Dow ,
liled a motion to throw Beatty's suit out
of court and proceed with tfio original
ease of Dow against Boutty. J. M. Woolworth -
worth represented tlio plaintiff Beatty
in the argument of the motion. Judge
Dundy lias taken the matter under
advisement. _
SPOUTING NOTES.
A Medal Offered For the Champion
ship of Nebraska.
A number of Omaha sports have boon
endeavoring to arrange a pugilistic en
counter in tlio near future for a medal
and the championship of Nebraska , and
the prospects are now bright for a fulfill
ment of their desires. Mr. Ed Rotlicry ,
who takes a lively interest in pugilistic
as well as other sporting events , lias been
in correspondence with Richard K. Fox ,
of the Police Gazette , in regard to the
matter , and lias received strong encour
agement. Mr. Fox agrees to furnish a
medal to bo known as the "Police Gazette
champion,1' ho to pay -10 per cent of the
cost and Mr. Rothcrv CO per cent. The
value of the medal will bo $100. and will
bo put up for the championship of Ne
braska. All residents of Nebraska can
bo competitors , none being barred. No
weight is specified , and anyone can enter
from a feather weight to a heavy weight.
The exact date of the match has not boon
agreed upon , but the medal will arrive
in Omaha in a few days and will bo on
exhibition at Rothory's saloon.
An effort is being made for u half-milo
race between Dan J. Ross and John
Ilourihan for $030 a shlc.
Frank Bandlo , the well-known base
ball man , has returned from the east , and
once more greets his friends with the
same smile that used to light up his face
every time ho placed himself in front of
a hot "liner. " Ho will remain in Omaha
for some time at least , and perhaps per
manently.
A MUSICAL TREAT.
The Church Choir Concert at the
Tabernacle Lmst Evening.
The third of the concert series given by
the choir of the Congregational church ,
assisted by Mr. Nat. M. Brigham , was a
delightful success , and was attended by a
fair sized and appreciative audience.
For oacli of these three concerts given ,
the management engaged , in addition to
the regular quartette choir , ono or moro
of our most prominent and pleasing local
soloistH. The selection of Mr. Brigham
as special soloist for last evening , was
fully up to tlio standard , ho being a great
favorite of tlio Omaha public. Ilia ren
dition of Scederborg'&LiUIo Bird Song was
a model of unufleotcd and intelligent
ballad singing , and Abt's beautiful song
Enibarnissmon , ho evidenced artistic
oomprhcn&ion and ease of delivery that
can result only from earnest study and
diligent practice. The four-part hongs
by the choir wore very pleasing selections
and admirably rendered. Ono of the
gems'of tlio evening was the song Mar-
particularly sweet aim her singing was
characterized by good phrasing , clear
enunciation and brilliant tone. Mr.
Taber at the orgun and piano was every
thing that could bo desired. Ho is ono of
Omaha's very few accomplished or
ganists and reliable accompanists.
Taken as a whole , this concert was the
best of tlio buries.
