"The course of true love never did run
emooUi , " is an old saying which was o.x-
nrnplcd yesterday in the suicide of James
Penman , a colored man , who shullled off
, the mortal coil all because the idol of his
licart refused to reciprocate Ills undying
affection. Penman was a young colored
man who lias lived in Omaha for the
past four years. Most of Iho time ho has
boon a waiter at the dlfluront hotels , lat
terly at the Paxton. Hu has been boardIng -
Ing on Tenth street , botsvoen Dodge nnd
Capital avunuu , with a man named Lev ! ,
and had become enamored of a duskcy
boauly named Gcorgiana Clark , who
lived at the same place , Oft in the stilly
night , after the work of the tiny , Penman
( old his tale of love to thefairuooriiiana ,
but she has stubbornly turned a deaf carte
to his entreaties and refused to accept
lus proffered suit. This sore disap
pointment , combined with a sovcro
attack of rheumatism , caused a feeling
of despondency to take possession of Pen
man , and ho resolved to make an end of
living and go to that bourne where rheu
matism and heart troubles do not enter.
Accordingly on Wednesday night about 1)
o'clock he swallowed a quantity of laud
anum and was rapidly passing into a
dreamless sleep when Gcorgituv came to
his rescue. Shu realized the situation and
took prompt action. Penman was pulled
to Ids feet and until 4 o'clock on Thurs
day monflng was kepi walking around
the city until ho had recovered from thu
nflecls of the self administered poison. Ho
had-scarcely fully recovered from Iho ef
fects of his attempted self destruction ,
when ( ieorgiann , who hail saved his life ,
left hini again , and refused to accept his
attentions. This was too muuh , and yes
terday Penman made a successful at
tempt at self murder. At thu noon hour ,
ho sent Georgina lo gctlilsilinner for him
nnd in her nusoneo swallowed
another dose of laudanum. When dis
covered ho was in an unconscious stato.
Ollicur Pelronot , who was near by , was
summoned , and at once sent for medical
aid. Drs. Rickottnnd Wileox responded ,
nnd did all in their power to save the
Bull'erer , but to no avail , and at 5 o'clock
the poison haJ accomplished its intended
purpose. Penman "was removed to the
coroner's ollleo , whore the inquest will beheld
hold to-day.
SUNDAY SPORTS.
Tlio Union I'nclllos Defeated liy the
Topeka Club A Close Game
The HuHcall 1'iirlc Knees.
The game yesterday between the Union
Pacifies and Topeka club was a close and
interesting one. About 1,000 peoplu as
sembled in the Athletic park , and the at
tendance would probably have been
larger hail not many f.oared that the un
fortunate mistake of last Sunday would
bo ropeated. However , the old battery ,
Salisbury and Bandle , were iu the field.
They were tolerably well supported by
the basemen and fielder's ' , the con sow -
w vquonco being that the game was finely
contested.
In the third Inning the Union Pacifies ,
by close base running , maiuigcd to score
one run' . In the succeeding inning they
were white-washed , but TJecoming do-
moralixod in the following half allowed
- . the Topukas to make two runs. In the
seventh , the homo team made another
* tally , which made the score 3 to i ! . The
next inning produced no results. In the
ilrst half of the ninth tlio Union
Pacilics failed to score. The visitors
woru more luuky , however , and succeed-
cd , through an unfortunate scries of er
rors in .the playing of their opponents , in
making the decisive tally. The battery
on both sidcs'was free and the fielding
fairly up to the average. Holland , as

1HISI1 NATIONAIj 1-ISAOUIS.
Tlmlr Mcctliif ; Ynptcrclny Afternoon
An Address by .Jud/ic SnvnRC.
A poorly attended meeting of the Irish
National league was held at Cunningham
hall at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The meeting was called to order by Vice
President Bronnan. The committee who
had in charge , the ball given on St. Pat
rick's day reported that they had col
lected about $300 , but could not make a
final report until the report of the joint
committee from tlio A O. II had been re
ceived. It was resolved that it was the
sense of the meeting that the joint com
mittee of tlio National league nnd the
A. 0. 11. bo requested to prepare n report
for iiresonjation at the next meeting of
Iho league.
Judge Savage was then Introduced
and addressed the mooting briefly.
Ho said lie had visited the
meeting to learn , and not to give
instructions concerning tha great
questions before the Irish people. Hu
considered it a great fault of the Ameri
can people that they do not pay moro at
tention to the great questions before the
Irish people questions that affect moro
or loss every nation on the globe. One
thing , though , every American knows.
The Irish people have been wronged
from the time of William the Conqueror
to the present day. The Irish people feel
wronged , ami with good cause. They
have been a wonderful people , and for
000 years have occupied a largo space in
every position of life and in all parts of
the world. They have produced war
riors of such distinction mat they seem
to ho myths almost ; they have produced
orators Knimclt , Gratlan , Currnn nnd
O'Connor such as the world has never
seen ; pools who have thrilled the hearts
of thu common people as by
no other hand and they
have produced patriots who have awak
ened In the Irish heart a love of liberty
that will not bo satisfied until Ireland is
free and ruled by her own free sous.
Judge Snvasc saw in Gladstone's bill
the dawn of a better and a brighter day
for Ireland , and prophesied that thu day
would soon come when Ireland would be
visited by thu wealth , prosperity and lib
erty/that / bur children have so long do-
served.
'rlio meeting passed a hearty vote of
thanks to Judge Savage for his address ,
after which an adjournment was taken.
THE MUUniSU MYSTERY.
The Coroner's Jury Returns a \ cr-
ilict Huutlnj ; a Clue.
Thcro is nothing especially now about
the Uulilo murder case to chronicle to
day. The authorities are beginning to
wako up and think about offering a re
ward for the apprehension of the milder-
crs. Gov. Uawos , it is said , will offer a
reward of $ ? 'oo as soon as Cthe
verdict of the jury is returned. Judge
Stonborg is circulating a paper to make
up a purse for tlio arrest and conviction
of the parties implicated , and has already ,
received several hundred dollars. Phil-\
li ) ) Andres has applied to be appointed
administrator of the estate ot tlio de
ceased , and he , too , will see that some of
the funds in the bank are applied to se
curing the arrostof the murderers. There
are several persons who claim to bo able
to locate thu perpetrator of the crime ,
provided the reward therefor is made
argc enough.
At the inquest Saturday thcro were
no new or important devel
opments. Ernest Knall , the\
bar lender at the City hotel tcslilied that
Norelia , the luysterious man in bluu ,
who is now believed to be implicated iu
the murder , borrowed some mouoy from
lluhlo last week on a watch , and turned
over to the latter the timepiece' which was'
found in his possession at the time of the
murder. Ho also 'tried to borrow money
from Ruhlo on a pair of cull' buttons , but
Ruble refused to loan him anything on
that security.
The only other witness was H. Manno-
woiler , by whom Coroner Drcxel hoped
to prove that Chris Ruhlo and John Mill-
nor , ' the man near whose door the murder \
der was commiUea , were intimate
friends. Mr. Mannweiler's testimony ,
however , did not support the theory :
O'lhc county commissioners have offered
a reward of $100 for tlio arrest of the
murderer of Ruble , and this has been
swelled by private subscriptions to
nearly $500.
Coroner iJrexel has in his possession a
broken bit of blue suspender ribbon
which was found near the railroad track
at the scene of thn tragedy. It may po s-
sibly furnish an imorptanl clue at so mo
timo. _
JII3 DIDN'T WANT WATER.
A Spirited Nntj Which 1'rcferrcd a
Kim to It.
Yesterday niorninir at 11 o'clock Henry
Miller was watering ills horse which was
attached to his buggy at the corner of
Twenty-seventh and Douglas. The ani
mal was without bridle , and became
frightened. Ho started on a run , and
Miller tried but failed to hold him by the
head. He made a dolour and finally
struck Sixteenth and dashed witli the
buggy into the washing room of Hoff
man's livery stable near Douglas. In
doing so , ho collided wi'.h ' and injured
one of Hoffman's buggies which was
standing on the street , started one of the
hitter's horses on a run which was also
attached to a buggy , but which was
finally caught by a policeman , and com
pelled llollman to tump under ono of his
wagons to escape being run over. The
horse foil down , and the buggy wsis over
turned in the water shed , if it hadn't
been for that Hoffman's other bujrgies
would have Kiillurod and thu horsn prob
ably been killed. As it was tlio buggy
was badly smashed , but the horse was
uninjured.
Judge Stonberg took occasion to re
mark that ho found fault with Iloflman's
leaving his wagons and buggies on the
street-ami had expected' that complaint
would have bceiujjlfid lagainst hini for
obstructing the way , , , . „ ,

The Flood of Wealth nnd Population
1'otirlitff Into North Nebraska
The Imperative Necessity of
n Kallroail l < 'roiu Omaha.
Four NiOim.VKA , May ID. [ Correspon
dence of ( ho HEK. ] The settlement cf
Nebraska Is no longer a matter of con
cern to any ono. With the present year
Nebraska will have nearly or quite a
million of people and that will be enough
to make a good .state. The tldo now
flowing Into northwestern Nebraska will
occupy all the good land and this Is
about the last part of the state to settle
up except a small strip In southwestern
Nebraska. Kvory day hero the cars on
thu Fremont , Klkhorn & Missouri Valley
railroads come up loaded down with 1m
migrants and the ory is , still tliov come.
Most of these people arc from Iowa , Illi
nois , Missouri and Kansas and states
bordering on or near Nebraska. Surely
It Is no'bad evidence of the fertility of
the soil and surpassing interests and re
sources of our young but great slate ,
when the people of such great common
wealths as Iowa , Illinois and Kansas pre
fer Nebraska 16 these 'slatOs. I myself
have been amazed at thu capability of
northwestern Nebraska. 1 had not
somehow formed a very high opin
ion of this suction before coming
hero , and I was agreeably mirprisod to
find the country as good as it really is.
It is , in fact , good farming land clear up
to the Dakota line , and as far north in
that territory as I have gone. What wo
supposed was sage-brush country and
sand-hllht has proved to bo the best , wheat
and corn land yet found in the United
States. This assures Nebraska's future ,
and wo now laugh at our notions of a
few years ago that the only good farm
ing Iniidrt in the stuto wore those nloii"
the Missouri and Plattes , east of Grand
Island. Since then the li. & M. has
opened up the Republican country and
the whole of southwestern Nebraska and
found it to bo a a bettor country than
cither the Missouri or Plalto lands. How
such a great mistake was made as to sup
ese northwestern Nebraska was worth
less , or nearly so , 1 cannot conceive ; but
a good many follows have lost for
tunes by not being wider awake
and I am sorry for them. Kicking them
selves now will do no good , and the only
thing to do is to try and bo wiser next
time. I am ono of the idiots who use to
write about the "vast interests , resources
and advantages of Nebraska , " and get
soundly abused for doing so. I once
said "Nebraska would have over 1,000-
000 before 1SUO anil Omaha 100,000 inhab
itants , " and 1 can still hear the shout of
this prediction set up of "wild , cra/.y as
a loon , " and from good Nobrasknns too.
The truth is wo are apt not to put enough
confidence in our country , and although
1 often wondered if the west would re
deem all the pledges made for it , 1 have
ceased to wonder , and do not see why we
had not more faith. The west has re
deemed four fold every promise 1 over
made for it , and no state has ijono bettor
in this respect than this glorious young
giant of the west , Nebraska. Who
doubts now that the state will
have a million inhabitants , and long bo-
ton ; 18110. Who doubts that Omaha will
have 100.000 inhabitants , .and that , too ,
within' the next two years ? All these
things uro settled , and wu crui jmsa on
to see what is next. Nebraska is prac
tically settled , and only the filling up
process remains to be done , which will
come soon enough. Omaha is bujlt and
already a great city ; the extending of
her city limits alonu remains to bo done ,
and this will bo done each year as her
people multiply from 100,000 to ! > 00,000
inhabitants , and possibly from 200,000 to
250.000 or iJOO.OOO.
What a pity it is for Omaha , and still
more for itself , that the Union Pacific
did not build into northwestern anil south
western Nebraska instead of building the
Oregqn Short line. The $0,000,000 locked
up in the Oregon Short line
without any adequate return in
passengers or freight would have pre
empted the whole of north and south
western Nebraska to the Union Pacific ,
and opened IIP a vast empire tributary tote
to Omaha. That mistake has kept Oma
ha bank ten years and may yet cost the
Union Pacific its life. Mr. Kdward Per
kins and Thomas Potter were quick to sec
the advantages of southwestern Nebraska
and prolit by their foresight in building
up their great railway system of the B. iS :
M. in Nebraska : and Mr. Marvin Iliighill
and Dr. W. II. fttonnoltsaw the same op
portunity for their Northwestern system
in northern Nebraska and sei/.ed upon it
to the misfortune , as I think , of Omaha
and the Union Pacific. Mr. Sidney Dils
ion is responsible for thu Union Pacilio' -
mistake and it cannot bo too deeply re
gretted. IK it lee latulo remedy the evil ?
I think no * . ; but there is no tini't to bo
lost , and unless what should have been
long ago is done quickly it will bo too
late and forever too late , so far as Omaha
is concerned.
A line of railway from Omaha to tile far
west must bo umlurtakun and at once. It
will cost much money , but it will ulti
mately pay fifty fold anil make Omaha
what slio should Ui ! one of the greatest
and most prosperous cities , on the conti
nent. U hut them is to feud such a line
I will attempt to show in a futiiro impur.
Tlio puonle arc pouring into northern
Nebraska cloarnp to the Dakota line and
over it west to Wyoming. Thu tide of
immigration has already reached Wyom
ing , and its ooureo is westward. It is no
lonirer necessary to wait for settlement to
build railroads ; the people ) follow thu
line of a now road by thousands -Mid
spreading to thu right and left of it creaio
commerce for it. The days are waiting
aru over ; and it is only necessary lor a
road to build into a good country to so-
euro a good line , Beyond Nebraska is a
vast region still unsottlud and unbuilt
into by any road , and when I say that it
is a better country than oven Nebraska I
but speak the truth. What is then )
up there do you ask ; Land that will
raise fifty bushels of wheat to the aero
and all other corcnls in proportion ; hills
filled with gold , silver. load. Iron and
coal ; mountains covered with vast forests
of pine , marble , granlto and limestone ;
oil , /ino and tin. There Is much moro
than these in the lands and country west
of Nebraska , and at another time I will
attempt to tell your peo'pluof some of the
things I saw in that wonderful region
during a residence thcro of nearly four
years.
The Big Horn mountains are the Switz
erland or America and the ueouury is as
bountiful as thu dream of any pout or
painter could imagine. They have often
reminded mo of my native state , old
Pennsylvania , and thu Allnghonoy moun
tains where I was born , or tun famous
Dluu Hidgo mountains of Virginia , only
the Big Horn mountains uro higher and
grandur and tlio vallics broader and
richer than those iu Pennsylvania or Vir
ginia. There as nooks , too , in
tlio Uig Horn mountains. where
where ifiidluy Warner , W U Whitman pr
Joaqtiln Miller would love to dwell , ami
solitudes so vast they would plcasotho'
fancy oven of a Milton or a Pope , Jin-
ngino a broad valley , as green as the sea ,
a wide river flowing down its center ,
fringed with tree * , and hero and there an
island covered with dunso' forest ; on
either hand tall mountains rising to the
sky , clothed from base to. dome .with .
great pines , nnd every two or three miles
streams of fresh , cold water Mowing
down to the larger streams to take their
course toward tholr ocean homo. The
distant valley hills arc covered with bon
nets blue , nnd n glorious canopy of
bright and balmy skies overspreads the
whole , In winter tlio sheltered valleys
arc still nnd' wnrm : in spring the sun
shine kindles thorn into llfo ; the snow
capped mountains are over in sight , cool
ing the hottest days of summer ; thu falls
are glorious in the oxtrumo , nnd thu In
dian summers long and delightful. 1
still remember with pleasure riding
homo many a time through the glorious
IIIIJMJ of ono of these liig Horn .summer
or fall days. JAMIIS S. Bjttsiux.

"Lovers Four anil Maidens Five : A

slory bo enjoyed for its own sake , but It / \ ,
issurudly will direct now attention to the
irettiest and most accessible mountain
csort in America , Cre.sson Springs. The
Niilendld trains of thu great trunk line of
ho Pennsylvania railroad pass within
nil view of the broad verandas of Iho
Mountain house. Into u very pretty love
story thu writer , Julius Chambers , has
woven all thu lost talus of thu Allnghc-
lies , and descriptions of thu beautiful
walks and drives of Iho mountains.
Nothing that can interest the visitor or
thu historian has been overlooked , and
hu pretty romunco therefore acquires a
KM'muncnt value that will cause it to bo
ircscrrcd for re-reading. Wo noted
nany epigram and clover sayings by the
foung women who conduct the cam-
mijiii against thu Allegheny club , Many
of them wu would liku to ruproducu

hid with the story is thai it is not long
tiiough. It can bu read at a bitting.
