Mentally * ' of one of the mails said to n
HII : : ri porter yesterday "the realcst
deniornlix.ation in freight rates exists
ninoiiK all the roods. Then ; is no reason
for It , ejioi'pt that one road wants to do
the other up. Wo arc now shipping at
$25 a car and wo don't mean to
be worsted by ; the light either. "
Hut this is not all. Sonic of the eastern
roads have gone into the hog-buying bus-
Ines. " A welt posted stockman told the
story to a reporter in this wise : The hog
market in Omaha lias commanded such
good prices that shippers all over the
state have been sending llicir slock in ny
hundreds of car loads. The consequence
is that the market has been brisk , with
increasing supply and demand. Some of
the Chicago roads filtering this city , not
ably the Hock Island ami Norllnveslorn ,
looked with envy upon the slate of af-
lairs , and wondered why they couldn't
secure some of the shipments for tjio
Chicago market. They did their best to
Induce the shippers lo send their stoek to
Ihe Chicago market , but as the Omaha
market was a far belter ono to patronize
their altempl was a signal failure. Still
determined to show up a decent percent
age ot slock trallie. two of the roads , the
Hock Island and Northwestern , actually
Hont buyers to South Omaha , who paid
local prices for large shipments of hogs ,
which were then fcenl out over I ho re
spective lines to Chicago. Of course , the
dill'orcnee in Omaha and Chicago prices
wasnot Milh'cicnt to reimburse the rail
roads for their trouble , but on the con
trary , this litllo fun has already cost Ihem
dearly.
"I&ut & Die funniest feature of tins whole
tian.saction , " continued the reporter's
informant , "is the way that the Hurling-
ton put it's foot into it. The ollicials of
that road saw how tilings were going and
delcrmiiicd to embark in the hog ; buying
business , too. They did so , ncavily.
One of their first manreuvors was to pur
chase a lot of hogs which liad been
shipped to Omaha from Crcston , 100
miles ( paying regular local prices ) then
sliip them back , via Creston , to Chicago ,
for sale in the stock market there. It is
almost incredible , that a railroad run for
money would indulge in such child'splay
ns this , but it is nbvcrthelesa true. "
liIJ'TON'S HOUSE.
"Work Bcsitii : Ui > on it Yesterday at
tlio Stock Yixrils ,
On Saturday last the contract for the
erection of the now packing house of
Thos. Lipton was lot by tlio South Omaba
Stock Yards company to Messrs. Delaney
& Uilcy , with the understanding that it
will be completed by tlio 1st of Oclobcr.
This firm , it will bo remem
bered , is the one which is
now engaged in the speedy
and substantial erection of Fowler's packing -
ing house at the same place. The latter
establishment is situated on tlio south
side of fho spur track running westward
through the yards. On the oppositsi cde
of the Irack the Lipton house is lo be lo
cated. Yeslordayda gang ; of laborers
was put to work excavating lor tno.ioun-
dallon. This will be completed in a few
davs , because it will require but n slight
cutting into ono of the gentle aseenls
which rises at a certain distance from the
track.
The Lipton house will bo l-llbclO ! ) _ foot
in dimensions , and four stories in height ,
being built of brick , of which material it
will require about 2,000uO. ( ) It will cost
in the vicinity of $70.000. The excavat
ing is being done by 1-aiming & Slavon.
a linn which have done a great deal of
this work for several seasons back. The
building will bo ready for occupancy
early in October , when Mr. Lipton will
move hero from Chicago and commence
the slaughter of 2,000 hogs daily. These
will bo mainly of the lighter order for
which an extra price will bo paid , because
they are intended for export to supply
twenty-four stores belonging to Mr. Lipton -
ton in Englami ami Scotland.
A Now Industry.
It developed yesterday that
a quiet scheme is on foot
to secure the location ot Libby ,
McNeil & Libby , a largo firm of beef can-
uers from Chicago , in South Oiuiiha. The
details of the scheme are not yoi ripe for
publication , but from what cun bo learned ,
that firm will establish hero a very largo
branch factory , capable of canning from
five hundred to seven hundred beoyos per
day. This firm owns the largest canning
establishment in the world , at Chicago.
Their factory is capable of canning 3,000
beeves per day. This capacity is con
stantly taxed to supply the demand , and
the linn is in need of enlarged facilities.
Very naturally they turned to Omaha as
the. fitturo stock centre of the metropolis.
Mr. MoNoill was sent out hero to
look over the ground. Ho nnulo a
careful examination of South Omaha ,
ltd location ami its facilities
mid was so thoroughly pleased with
everything that it is said ho determined
to have his firm establish a branch factory
hero. It is said that n largo tract of hunt
has boon purchased in South Omaha by
the firm , and that as soon as their plans
nvo fully consumatod , work on the now
factory will commence. Hoof packing
will DO the only branch ol the industry
carried on.
The enterprise will undoubtedly bo n
great thing for Omaha , ami IB only
another evidence of the wonderful pros
perity which the Unto City is enjoying.
John A. McSlmno was seen
yesterday , but was not prepared -
pared to say anything definite
about the matter. Ho said , however , that
Mr. McNeil ! was very much pleased with
what he saw whllo hero , and was satisfied
that if a branch canning factory were
started hero it could be operated to n do
cidcd profit in tilling western orders , bo
cjuiso of the saying on freight on beeves
from Omaha to Chicago.

CHAPMAN'S ANSWER.
An IntercstltiR Document Several
Suits.
George W. Doane , nttorney for James
G. Chapman , lilcd a reply in the United
States cotirl'yohterday to the suit brought
by.Mrs. Mary Kellogg , wife of ex-Senator
Kellogg of Louisiana , some time ago
against his client. This lady brought suit
against Mr. Chapman to recover lille lo
a strip oflaml twenty-two feet wide on
tlio block between Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-fifth streets and Farnam ami
Hartley. It will be remembered that the
property was formerly owned by Chap
man but was transferred in about 1802 to
Kellogg , who , later on , transferred it to
his ? wife. Through some inaccuracy in
Ihe survey , when Farnam struct was lirst
cut through , a dispute has arisen over
the twenty-two foot strip on Far
nam street , Mrs. Kellogg claim
ing that it belonged to her and
Chapman that it belonged to him.
In his answer , Chapman denies
nearly every allegation contained in the
petition of Mrs. Kellogg and alleges that
lie has always hold Ihe property in ques
tion and perfect right and title. He claims
that Mrs. Kellogg tried to compromise
with him for $2,000 , ami that ho refused.
Subsequently he offered lo soil the land
for $8,000 , but this Mrs. K. refused. The
answer contains distinct charges of
fraud against Senator Kellogg and wife.
W. N. Coler brought suit in the same
tribunal to enforce payment of $2,200 on
some bonds issued by Butler county and
purchased by him.
In the same tribunal yesterday "James D
Woglom brought suit against Iho Mid
land railroad company , the B. Ss M. in
Nebraska and other parties to enforce
payment on $13,000 worth of bonds ,
which wore issued by the Midland road.
This line , which it is now claimed is in
solvent , is a small road in the interior of
Nebraska , operated by the B. & M.
A GUEUILTjA'S SUOTi
About to Lead to Ills Arrest nt
Co/.atl.
About one month ago , train No. ? , on
the Union Pacific , had gotlon out a short
distance from Cozatl , when a shot was
lircd through the pane of ono of the windows
dews of ono of the coaches. The bullet
passed right in front of two ladies who
occupied tlio seat near the window , and
one of them very narrowly escaped being
struck by it. It slrtiok a metal frame on
the opposite side of the car and WPS lliore
llatlened anil dropped to Iho lloor. It was
pickctl up by Conduclor Winkelman
and brought to town and handed over to
his superiors. Since that time but little
lias been saitl about , but the otlicials
fiilentlv ' placed a detective on the track ,
and lo'-day it transpired that the latter
h.ul iountl his man , gotten his weapon ,
anil was waiting for his arrival from the
country lo put him under arrest. This
capture will have a decided efl'eot upon
some of the guerillas who secretly do
work of the kind mentioned , as may bo
seen by inspecting some of the cars which
roll into the Union Pacilie depot , the windows
dews of which look as is they had been
treated like the one in question at Cozad ,
SEIZING DEAD WEN'S CLOTHES.
How an OH1 Ilohcmiaii Woman Has
Grown lUoli ,
"Do you see that old woman there ? "
said an attache of the coroner's oilico tea
a BEK reporter yesterday. The female was
a toothless crane , so dried up that her
appearance made her akin to an Egyptian
mummy , and of an ago which might bo
estimated at anywhere from 75 to 100
years. The reporter gazed at her for a
moment and thu speaker continued :
She is iv Bohemian ragpicker , re
siding in South Omaha , who makes
a living by pursuing a peculiar
branch of the business. She deals ox
elusively in dead men's clothes. Very
frequently the coroner has cases of un
known dead men , whom no one appears
to identify. In such cases Iho clothes arc ,
upon burial , thrown aside , as there Is no
ono to claim them , Regularly on Mon
thly of every week , Ibis old woman puts
in an appearance and gathers up all the
cast-oil' vestments , and carries them away
in a capacious basket. Sometimes she
becuros a good lot of clothes , and again
she will not get anything. "
" \ \ hat does she do with those clothes ? "
"Cleans them up and sells them to the
second hand stores. As she gels them
for nothing , she don't have to figure
very hard to secure a good margin of
prolit. Yes , she not only visits the coroner
ner but every undertaker in the town ,
and wo all know her and look out for
her. I understand that she has grown
rich at the business , and now owns two
houses and lots and considerable live
Btoek. "

STOCK YAIlT ) ACTIVITY .
Displayed by Constables anil Aspiring
Bruisers.
On Saturday evening a lively fight took
) lace at tlio stock yards in which a num-
jcr of men took part , and some of them
gel pretty badly clubbed. It commenced
icar the center of the town , and was oc
casioned by the persistence of an inui-
idtial who wanted somebody to light
iiin. He did not have to wait long to
; et accommodated , because the stock
ards is ono of the best nluccs in
he world to got into a row. The light
lad become quite warm , when a well
cnown contractor arrived on Ihe scene
md attempted to stop it. The man who
iad commenced the brawl was imnie-
lialely set upon , but before ho realized
t , he was knocked against n side
vail , where ho was left to re
gret his temerity. This sudden
ermination of the bully's ambition ,
> roke u the row. The people out there
jltinic iho constables of the place for Ihe
iisordcr that rules there at times. They
ciaim that these officers , some of them
ippcaring to bo self appointed , are as
jail as some of the law breakers. In ab
sence of a jail , these officers go through
the formula of pulling a man in custody
xftcr he has committed a breach of the
> eacc , and yet they allow him to run
around the streets and raisn lights at
will. It is also asserted that some of
these constables get just as drunk
is the fellows tlicy attempt to ar
rest , and then act in a dangerous
nanner with their clubs upon
noflensivo citizens. On Saturday night
i man named Falconer , who was on his
way to sec a friend , who , it was claimed
iad been arrested , was set upon by ono
of these constables , and so pounded with
a club that ho is still compelled to keep
: o lug room. Another instance of this
cruelty is that of a saloon keeper named
Itawlcigh , who was visited by one of
tlieso ollicers a short time since , and it is
asserted , without provocation , beaten
badly with the fellow's club. A number
3f llio people out there have tirctl of thjs
kind of protection , and to-day a move is
being made to induce Messrs. Strathman ,
Klein ami Sloan , upon whose request ono
of tlieso constables was appointed , to
withdraw the petition and have
the fellow put out. There is no
doubt that the gentlemen mentioned
will seek for another oiliciul.

Armour's South Ontniin Purchase.
The fact thai the tract of ground pur
chased in south Omahti by Armour , the
Chicago packer , lies between the tracks
ami properly of the Union Pacific anil
the B. & M. railways has created an
opinion that the property lias not been
purchased to acconiodiito Armour's
packing business alone. The Chicago ,
Milwaukee & SI Paul railway , it is
known has been Iryinj * for sonic time to
secure suitable terminal facilities in
Omaha in order to better handle Its
exclusive bcof transportation contract
with Hammond Bro , and In order lo be
prepared for Iho time when it will
run all of its trains through lo Omaha.
Armour is a heavy stockholder in the
Chiehago , Milwaukee & St. Paul , and
Itcneu llie opinion thai his land purchase
has somelhing to do with the Milwaukee's
plans for terminal facilities.
