The Impiovcineut which , for some time back , hasgivmito Omaha n national reputation , is still being carried on in iliflbrciit parts ol the city. In the outly ing districts the fresh whlto roofs' of cottages everywhere appear. Thpy are going up singly and In twos nnd thrpps , nnd not intruqiiontly thuy may bo found in bunched , extending sometimes from ono street to another. In outlying districts also , In yet moro favored localities , beautiful and costly residences may bo seen jn ° t boglnniiig to peer through the trees , nml-bcforo long HOniu of the moU boautiifili homes know to Omaha will bo added to the list of our firesides. In the interior of town Ihq ac tivity is not IPSS noticeable. Exca vations are being made , and many have already been finished , In others the foundation walls arc ill progress of construction , while in others ) still the undcrstrueture is completed , and the parts read } ' for the Imposition of the building contemplated. Among tlicsn may bt > mentioned Pax ton's building , on the corner of Sixteenth and Farpam streets , the chamber of commerce on thu opposite corner , the Paddock building on the corner of Douglas and Eleventh streets , the Knig nndTopploton buildings on Farnam near Tenth btroet , thcMilliinl bloek on Eleventh and Hartley , the .Molino plow company's warehouse , Ninth and Marcy streets , Kotintzo's bloek of stores on St. Mary's avenue , MeGav- ock's warehouse , corner Of Ninth and Li'tiM'iiworth streets , tin * addition to the Windsor hotel and a host of others which it is now impossible to eiuini- orafp. The cost of these buildings ranges from $0,000 to $100,000. The sites have bppn vacated for the new First National and Mcichant' National banks on oppofito corners of Thirteenth and Farnam streets. Tho-io sites are , at pres ent , in a ghastly condition anil tlio side walks in trout of them are , in a measure , in an impassible condition , it is known that some delay has been experienced in the arrangement of the details of these buildings , but the unpleasant sight pre sented by the corners referred to is about the only thing which in any way gives Omaha the appearance of having ground for which it seems to have little use , In the real estate marko , the last few weeks have brought about many changes. There is not the insane rush for land that had charac terized it earlier in the year , by people illy supplied with means to in vest. The limit of that kind of purchases would seem to have been reached. The sales lately have turned toward who are as a rule bettor supplied with moans , anil whoso investments , consequently will neither straiten themselves nor deprive the merchants of thuir customary patron- migo. Of this kind of sales , the number has in no way been decreased from that of the proceeding week some days reach ing as high as fifty. On three days of tlio present week , sclectd at random , Friday , riitirfdvy : and Wednesday , tliuro wore HO less than one. hundred and fifteen re corded transfers , with an aggregate Val uation of $1,013. ! ) ; ! It H known , However , that in this list a number of exchanges were not mentioned one of which was the Goodrich iiropprty on the corner of Farnam mid Sixteenth streets. This sold for the sum of $50,000. There were novcral other salps , each not less than $ i5,000 , ono of which was the Richards property on the corner of 1'arnam and and Eighteenth streets. The property now occupied by the city hall is beginning to attract attention , and though the owner holds it high , it is not improbable that before long , ho will bo able to command his price The demand of late has been for what is known as interior property. It has been sought both by homo and foreign investors , anil the prices have ranged uniformly high. With reference to out lying property , that part of the city which has been boomed especially , and which has attractions to recommend it , has actually increased its value. Lots which formerly sold at $650 are now in demand at $850 , and those which rated lower have appre ciated in the same proportion. The cer tainty that thu licit line is to a fiord the accommodations of suburban trains has , in a great measure , boon the cause of this increase. The certainty also of the viaducts on Eleventh and Sixteenth streets ha.s hud a like effect upon prop erty in the southern part of the city , so much so that it is now only a. man of ex cellent means who can aflord to buy on either thoroughfare. Foreign a peculators and manufactur ing institutions still display an interest In the oily , and this fact is well attested by the number of applications which are daily received by the board of trade , as well as by our real estate merchants , There is scarcely ono of the latter who is not prepared to oiler inducements to manufacturers to come hero and locatnj but are disposed at tlio same time to ti o duo care in selecting concerns for which them is an irssnrcd market in tjits stato. A tour amoiiGT real estate mun taken yesterday by a HKI : reporter revealed the hopefulness of the futiiro and the satis faction with tlio present on the part of each dealer wliuro they had not befcn Shown its having heavy dilals by tile transfers , their contract wcr ! : Was as busy a.s in any week of the year. Th'is they estimated nt about one-half the transfers recorded , which would give a sale for the thrco days mentioned of about $200,000. UK WJXlEfi T K OHAItOK.

IIo states that tlio Union Pacilio has no Kansas City con nection with Nebraska points cast of Cheyenne , and that the Missouri Pacific and liurlintrton routes must bo held responsible for rates made from Kansas City to Nebraska points east of Choyuiine , as all connections between the places must be over these roads , Air. Callaway further states and prom ises in his letter that when the Maryville ( Kas. ) & Jlluo Valley division of the Union Pacific is completed ho will see that whatever facility is given Kansas City merchants for reaching Nebraska points east of Cheyenne the same facility will also be extended to Omaha mer chants for reaching points on the Kan sas division east of Denver.

A Colored TlilciVj".Booty Causes Two 'Considerable m ilrpai attaches to the case of Frank Uuv'sUpttio ' colored follow who was tried before Judge Seville yes terday charged with the larceny of a gold watch chain from Edholm & Erick- son Tlio case has an interesting history. About two months ago Duyal was ar rested for lighting and when , he was searched at the police headquarters a valuable -gold watch chain was loiind in his possession. The police took the chain to several jewelry slorca lo Jind an owner for it. When pnv > cutctl to Edholm & Erickson they claimed that the chain hud been stolen from thorn. They recognized it as being the only one they had purchased of a special pattern , and also strengthened their claim by showing the- weight of it and the weight charged them by the wholesalers. Duval was accordingly in dicted for larceny and bound over to the district court. In tlio meantime Mr. A. B. Huberraan saw the chain and at once claimed it. He recognized it by tlio pat tern. weight , and also a small private mark , the letter "S , " which was cut in the swivel of the chain. The case was tried yesterday and will be submitted to the jury to-day , after which Mr. Huber- man will commence replevin proceed ings to get possession ot the chain. OX THE DIAMOND.

Deacon Suniptor , a kind-hearted and righteous man , dwelt , during , the reign ofUeorgo ill. , upon thu outsorts of Pjy- mouth , England. Ono night in the early springtime , having retired lo rest at his tisuafliour , hU sleep was disturbed by a remarkable dream. It appeared lo him Ihal ho could hear most distinctly a volco from heaven saying to him'Ariso , and go withoul delay to Bodmin. " Bodmin was a market town in the adjoining county ( the county of Cornwall ) , about twenty-live miles from Plymouth. The deacon was not a superstitious man , though living in H supercilious ago. Ho was u man of slrong mind ami will , not easily moved by strange fancies let the dream troubled him. Aflcr thinking about it for some time , ho aroused his wife , and told her what had disturbed him , and how deep the impression it had made upon him. As she hand not herself - self been dreaming , she could not realize it as he did , and urged him to seek for- getfulncjs in sleep. After awhile ho fell asleep , und tlio dream again came to him wltli all its previous vlvlilitt-ss , most clonrly nnd iHstinctlv ho heard the Noico sa. iiiKto him "Ari o. without < li'lny , nnd jro to Ilodmin. " lie could no longer leat , nnd resohcd to lind for hlniioll wliQtlicr there wns anything more tlmn fnnev In it , liy inimcdlntely eeltlnf ; out for Ilodmin. Ho hurriedly ( lre ed , nntl then went to tjio jindiloek ndidlnln his lioii'-o tlint ho inlfzht cntch iiiul snddlo his vony. Ho hnd .omo mloplvlni ; tliat It would bo n long nnd dilllcult task In the niellibut to hi * surprise when ho reached the Held ho found tlio pony at tlio gate , ns though wmtlnc for Him. Ho wns M > OII in the saddle , unit at n brisk trot sttirted for Ilodmin Just thim miothur thought troubled him Ho remembered tlml TIP- twcen three nnd four miles from 1'lv- mouth hoonld hiivo to cross n wide , loon , tldnl river. In the dnylimo n fenyboat wns constantly I'lylng there , during the night the fonyboit : was kept on the opposite shore , and ho feared thnt ho might not bo able to make himself heard. When , however , ho arrived at the river he found the boat waiting for him. Surprised at this , ho asked the men why they hnd waited on that side of thotrivor. . They .snltl it appeared to them as if sump person called "Ho.it ! " several times ; they crossed the river , nnd not finding nny per.ion there , were about to return , when they heard she noise of borso's hoofs on tlio hard road ( it was a clear frosty night ) and determined to wait and see if unv person wished to cross. Tliis incident tended to con llrm his first Impression , that them must bo a purpose in nis dream. In duo time ho arrived in the town of Hodmln , untl after so long a ride wns nlail to seek some rofroshmont.s. Then the question oamn to him , " \Vh.y \ am I hoio ? " Ho was a perfect stranger , ho had never seen that town before , ho had not u friend In the placo. On that occa sion Ilodmin were nn unusually busy ap pearance for a small market town. The reason soon became apparent ; what are termed the " .spring : i si/.ps" were being hold. In such towns the holding of "as- si/.o" Is tlio notitblo event of the vear. Having nothing eke to do ho strolled into the court. Ho there found himself sur rounded by those medieval arrangements which arc still supposed in Kngland to lend dignity and solemnity to the mlniin- Istratlon of Justice , There was thojndgo on tlio bench , with his wig of powdered horse-hair hanging over his shoulders , and gorgeously attired in ixrobo of sear- lot and ermine. There was tlio barris ters in wigs ami silk gowns ami the vari ous ollicers of the court arrayed in their diflurenl uniforms. There wcro also the usual crowd of interested spec tators , the whole forming an impressive scene. At the bar there stood the prisoner , a man of pale , anxious face , having noth ing of the appearance of the ordinary felon. The charge preferred against him was that of highway robbery , a crime in that day always punished 'with death. Prior to tlio deacon's arrival witnesses had been examined and cross-examined without the testimony being shaken. Thu prisoner's case appeared most dilli- cult of defense , and it was generally felt that the jury would very speedily arrive at a decision when once it was placed in their hands. The jury was charged by the judge , dismissed to consider thu ease , and after a short absence returned with a verdict of guilty. According to the cus tom , before | ) ronouncing.sentenco on thu prisoner the judge asked what ho had to say why the verdict should not be carried out. out.In In reply to that question the prisoner strongly asserted his innocence ; declared that he was notin that part of thocountry when the crime was committed , but many miles away. He said there was ono man who if ho could meet with him would bo able to attest bis innocence. Ho had never seen him before that day , and ho had not met with Him since. Ifq told the court that on the very day the crime with which he was charged was committed ho was riding on the outside of a stngo coach and held a long conversation with that unknown man on an important religious question. When the prisoner had pro ceeded thus far with his statement ho dis covered the presence of the deacon in court , and addressing himself to the judge , exclaimed : "Sly lord , the very man of whom I have spoken is here , and if placed in the witness box can , I am sure , prove that I am innocent of the crime with which lam charged. " "Tho deacon gladly assumed the posi tion of "witness" in this very remarkable trial , and was able to discover thn pur pose of his presence in Itodmin that day. He referred to his distinct remembrance of the conversation the prisoner had ul- luded to , and then related to the judge and court the incident ot the past night which was the occasion of his journey to Uodmin. The statement produced _ a profound impression , and the judge directed that the prisoner should immediately bo sot at liberty , saying : "This is the linger of God. " The record of this remarkable incident may still bo found in the minutes of the assi/.o in the county of Cornwall , Eng land. VOR TJ1K RIGHT AhWAY. An Iowa Admirer on the Van \Vyolc MumiAY , Iowa , June 21. To the Edi tor ot the IIK ( : : i found one of vour JJme.s Jiving around our town a few doys smco , I like the sting of your HKK ; 1 like the way it Haps its wings in the face of wrong-doers ; I like tlie honey it gathers from the ( lowers of truth that are .scat tered all over the ilelds where it Hies ; ( lllco the way it distributes the rewards of its labor in strange hives whore it is needed ; I like it becauno it likes that American of Americans , that good and faithful servant of &urvauts , Senator Yiui \Vvck , the representative of the people who is bravo enough to speak his honest thoughts ; the man Who is clothed with enough honesty of purpose to stand up in in tlio Hcn.ito of the United States and speak for the common people ; the man who cannot \m \ bought , "old , traded oil' nor lured from tlio path of duty by all thu stolen millions of all the thieves of tliis day and age. I wish I could clothe this letter with infinite power so that my meaning would stand engnivod in the uoul ol every elti/.on of Nobrnskn , in order that they might know this anxious solicitude of the people of Iowa for the re-oloction of Senator Van \Vyck. Wo feel that in him we have a friend , wo know where he stands anil'we don't know where Allison and Wilson stand for they dam us with faint praises every chancn they get. We like Senator Van Wyck because lie stirs up the animals in that national men * tigerlo of millionaires ; because ho demon strates the taet tliut a senator may bo honest ; because ho knows enough to know tlio needs of the people on the prairies of the west. Ho is right in the Union Pacific relief bill , if the proposed branches can bo built without tlio assist ance of thieving contractors , If they can bo built without being drowned in wa tered blocks it will teaoli the people that the government can establish highways for the good of the people. It will bo ono stop toward wiping out the live thousand mllliuns of counterfeit dollars which now figure in tlio watered stocks of our rail roads , and these counterfeit stocks and bonds now constitute the chief dement used to impoverish the laboring clafesos in the west If the roads were "capital ized" at their true cash value grain and stock would be carried from North 1'hittu to Chicago for not over $20 per car , and passengers would be carried a like dis tance for Jos * than 1 cent per mile.
