Ho would alternately work on llio jrround and on top of the bank , using a pick to loosen the earth. While ho wa working on the grcntml , a large mass o ; earth became loosunod overhead and began to crumble. Lovott wa standlnii near , and both men saw the danger Lovott e.M3aned safe and sound , but Car een in running away stumbled and fel with his head on thu pick. .fust them the heavy mass of earth fell on liin and pruning his neuk violently ngulnsi the pick , broke it inMuituio : : ously.

The Destination of tlie ; Men Scnteiicoi in tlic District Court. At precisely E10 o'clock yc store ! : n the convicted criminals of the prcscu term of the district court , eight in num. bcr , filed into the court marshaled b.i Lou Grebe , Deputy ShcrilV Phillips ant Jailor Miller. They took scats in tin jury box. All wore washed and cleanly und among them there was not one with ! pronounced villainous face. Some wen like second rate dudes , and the least nervous vous seemed to bo Thos. Dullard , thomur dorcr of Henry Vorpoortcn. who tiled it : with the rest with his hands modestly am icvercntly crossed in front of him. Hi was the oldest of the prisoners , havmj turned his fifty-fifth , while the youngosi had scarcely reached his cigotconth year J. T. Moriarty , attorney for his client m&fto a motion for a now trial in the case J < JyTTTnv'-iml ' found guilty o ! larceny , on llio ground that the ovidcnc < was not sufficient to warrant the verdict , The motion was overruled. A motion had previously been filed foi a now trial in the case of Fitzgerald charged with highway robbery. Thii had boon overruled and exception hat been taken. It was sought to secure a now trial foi lioyd , charged with robbing James Me Voy of a watch , on the ground that while the information statcel that the watch be longed to McVcy , it was claimed to be long to.his wife. The judge buid that , ii Instructing the jury , ho had advised then if they found that the watch belonged u Mrs. MoVoy , they should not tinel JJoyt ( ruilty. Ho then read the statute , whicl in his mind clearly left the proprietors ! ! ! ) in Me Voy , oven though holuid presentee the wulcli to his wife. The motion wa accordingly overruled , lltmry Ward , colored , charged wiM biinrhim.iug a Dodge street saloon , wa : first called. Mr. Estelle said that Ware intended to ploael guilty , and finally , because cause of some inlluunco , had made up hi mind to go to trial , .ludgo llawcs sail the boy was utifoi lunate , and ouarht note to go to the penitentiary. Juelgo Neville fcald that ho never sentenced a man o \ \ ard'u color that ho didn't fcol movcel tt sympathy. His people for years hat boon reared in felavory , taught to stoa from tlu-lr masters , and their influence ho foil had more or less to do with tin generations which have followed them The jiulgo was surprised that , unele : these circumstances thcro wore not mor < crmio among the colored people. Yc the misonor had boon admitted to citi yoiibhip , with every advantage to risi and improve in morals , and should bi punished like any other law breaker Wtird was then sentenced to six years ii the penitentiary at hard labor. Th longest term under the statute is to : years. Trod Knight , charged with altering railroad pas > s. was next called. The pur ishmunt of the statute was from ono t twenty years in llio penitentiary. Mi Estesllo appealed for meircy , setting tort the youth of the criminal , eighteen year nnd the fact that the orimo of forging railroad pass was not so heinous as tlu of a bank or other notes , liusitlos , tl : young man had pleaded guilty. Tl judge considered these points , and soi toneod Kr.ight to two years at hard labt in the penitentiary , und fined him $1 an osts , Frank Boyd , convicted of robbery , wi Broken in behalf of by his utlorno , Moriarty.

He tlio lora moved for an arrest of juelgni.m : i the dlsohargo of the p.-isoiier. Hii ill fa4 the verdict whHi w > lgiu-d oluiracU , by required that the nnmcof tlio fprcntan should be nttache.d to the elocumcnt. Ho liaudcd the verdict to Judge Neville ? ) who said that it simply was n question as to whether the name of the foreman should be above or below the designation of that office. It is too simple a pica to enter tain. The cotinsol took exceptions. Mr. Uirkctt then urged 1)19 ) court to _ an c.vrciso of llio e'lempiie-y which the jury recommended , liall.ml , ho said , looked old ami worn and hail not the appearance of longevity. Ton years would probably close his life. Hosldcs , the testimony was full of probabilities nnd doubts , and those facts iiad a great bearing upon the jury which brought in the lenient verdict. General O'Hucn said that the court had the discretion of sentencing for not less than ten ycar and ai much as life. Thr defendant was old , feeble , had .crvctl his country , was honorably discharged , and that the crime of which ho was convicted was attended by only the unfortunate ) circumstance that it was unintentional , The minimum -eutcnee would in all luv man probability extend to the cntl of Hal- laitl's natural life. L'lio judge said that the defendant had tjiico been found guilty of murder IP the first degree and the voreliet was sot aside by the supreme court. The second jury hud recommended Italian ! to mercy , but in the jury's extending all the mercy in Ihcir power , elid it follow that the court should do the same thing ? Italian ! wanted mercy Did ho show mercy to Vernoortun , whom lie shot down without a moment's warning , without n chance to say oven a short prayer. In all the ! court's experience there was not a more pronounced case of murder In the first degree , ft was the eluty of tlio court to use the full power of the law in prevent ing murder. The leniency shown by the jury was all that should be shown the prisoner , anil he would sentence > tonco the accused to spend the natural term of his. . llfo in tlio penitentiary witli solitary confinement on tlio loth of March in each year , tlio anniversary of the mur der of Verpportou. Dallarel reeoived his sentence without apparent feeling , sat down , winked , heaved a .sigh , anil was led out with the oilier prisoners , /vrlis HESTOUBD. $7O Ilcquircelto He ml a Car of Catllo to Chicago. The open cut rate of $25 per car for cattle between Council Blufl's ami Chi' cage , has so tended to the demoraliza tion of tlio local freight business in Iowa , that the roads centering at that point have abandoned it. It was done at n mooting held hero yesterday by the following representatives : Mr. Itabcock , of the Northwestern ; Mr. Keith , Chicago cage , llitrlington & Quineyj Mr. Gault , Wabash ; Mr. Nash , Chicago , Milwaukee & St. I'aul , and Mr. Stevens , Chicago , Khck Island & Paoilie. The rate restored is 870 per car. This will prevent shippers in the interior of Iowa sending stock to Council Blufl's , taking advantage of the cut rate and sending Iheir slock again over the road to the Tatter point at a cheaper figure than they could originally have been shipped from at the homo stations. This rate went intoleflect ycstcrcay. The rates from the stockyards anel other points west of Council Dlufl's depend upon the general managers. A fast train arrived in Omaha last nigh : over the Union Pacific , containing an assortment sortmont of fruits from Sacramento , Cal It consisted of liftoen cars , consigned tc various points in the east. These frui : trains are made up upon request of the fruit merchants of California , who pee together und fill at least fifteen ears foi each train. Two of these trains pass through Omaha each week. J. A. Munroe , of the Union Jt'aeific , has gone to Chicago. T. W. Blackburn , chief clerk of the passenger department of the Union Pa cific , retires to-day to accept the Junior partnership in the real estate firm of J B. Evans & Co. Mr. Blackb'urn has been with the road six years and a hall to-day , and [ five years Jof .that time he has been cliief olcrK of the passenger do- partmont. His courtesy to all who have hael dealings with him and especially tc the nowsp'apor men , has won him hosts of frjcnds who will wish him all success n his new career. KKV13NGE ON A JOETJ3OT1VE. A. Novel Scheme SentenoliiKFeilcral Prisoners. "John MoManus , stand upl" With these words Judge Dundy gazec crcnoly over his gold-rimmed spectacles ind addressed a convicted fedcrul pris iner in court yesterday. MoM-mus shambled to the front to re eive his sentence. The crime with whicl 10 was charged was sending obscene otters through the mail. Judge Dunelj entonccd him to pay a fine of $100 an < osts , anil to remain in the custody of tlu United States marshal until the line wai [ mid. The story of McManus' crime is quite ntcrcsting. Several months ago a younf girl In Alexandria was raped. Her us ailant was captured and lynched by i imall body of masked men within a fev nours after the crime had been com milled. A eielcctlvo was sen down to Alexandria to ferret rot out the lynchers , if possible His suspicion foil upon McManus as om of the guilty natty and the detcctivi dogged him night and day , trying to lim some facts on which to rest his theory Ho ate with him , slont with him , and go drunk with him , McManus. however whether guilty or notkept a close moutl on the subject of thu lynching , and vcr lilllp could bo gotten from him.

Tl convict says he has $100 wii which ho is anxious to secure his rcloas and requests the judge to grant him tl writ of habeas eoruus and u heurii with us little formality as possible.

DANIEL II. wnuKi.r.n. Referring to this circular the Black Hills D-uly Times says : "Azro Smith , the well known gardener , is in receipt of a letter from Daniel H. Wheeler , secre tary of tlio Omaha Agricultural associa tion , as follows : * * * , The annual exhibitions by the Omaha association are among the most successful both as regards quantity nnd variety of exhibit and in point of attendance , hold in the west , and should secure a good display of the various products ot the Black Hills. Unaidud Mr. Smith bus in years past fairly represented the Hills and with a little assistance would accept the above invitation in a manner in the highest degrieo creditable to our country. The fair will continue from Sept. Cth to the lllh inclusive. " The Intcr-Stato Exposition. A committee of I gentlemen interested in the Intcr-Stato Exposition mot at half put eight o'clock yesterday morning to dis cuss the project further. There were present Messrs. J. T. Clark , Max Meyer , J. \Vakefield , D. H. Wheeler and G. W. Lininger. A general plan was formed as to the manner in which the exposition building will bo occupied by oxliibits. The galleries running about UiQ interior will be taken UP by art and textile fabric ex hibits. Tno oil paintings and other choice work of arts will occupy the east gallery , Ihc textile fabrics the north and south galleries , and in the west gallery will be the exhibits of photographs , etc. The main floor will be given uj > to general - oral industrial exhibits , novelties , elc. The floor will bo chalked off inlo divis ions which will bo duly numbered and platted. A diagram will then bo made of the arrangement from which intending exhibitors can select ami reserve their space beforehand. Space will bo re served lor steam power to run the light machinery which may be in the different exhibits. Nc heavy machinery will bo allowed in the building , all that being reserved - served for exhibition at the fair grounds , "It is our intention to make this our first exposition a grand success , " said one of the members of the association to-day. "A committee will be appoinled lo pass npon all the works of art before Ihcy are udmilled lo llio exposition , so that wo wont have a collection of daubs that no one will care to look at. The same care will bo used in admitting the other ex- hibils. What we shall aim to secure is a thorough line of novelties such things us a man would want to slop and exam ine and ihen go off and lell his friends about them. We want such an exhibit as ono could not see at the Lincoln or Omaha fairs. By careful planning , I think the project can be made a suqces.s. What wo want is first-class attractions and I think that with a filtlo trouble wo can eusily se cure them. I think that the exposition will bo thrown open the Saturday before the fair and will bo run tlio two succeed ing weeks. The receipts if it were to bo kept open but ono week would uot bo sufficient to pay expenses. " MAKING llB DUST PLY. The BusincHH or Sweeping the Streets Every Xltjlit. The interest which the huge street- sweeper occasioned three years ago , when it made its first appearance on our streets , is equalled by that aroused by the arrival ot two smaller ones , which now take the place of Iho leviathan , which as been sent to retirement. The cause ol Is disappearance is the fact that Is owners iost the contract for sweep- ' ng our thoroughfares , the present c'on- .ractors tor that work being Mess'rs. Fanning & Slaven. Those men are now loing the work formerly done by their predecessors at less expense to tlio city of about nine hundred dollars per month , or in n season of eight months of iibout seven thousand two liundred del ars. They use two machines of compar atively light build and elraft and drawn by two horses. They make moro rapid movements , and it is claimed , do the work required of them as well us 'ho larger and moro cumbrous machine lid. They are what Is , known us the Edi son make , with a brush six feet in width , composed of n South American material called quoir. They roll along the strocls rapidly , making but little noi&e , rais ing but little dust , anil looking , at a short distance , like : i mounted rake dragging a stern sheet of canvass The route laid out for thorn each night is us follows , every street being SwcptDQ once a week : Sundtij evening , Sixteenth , Cuming anel Webster ; Monuay , Tenth and Farnam Tuesday , Douglas and the oross-strcots between Furnam and Dodgoj Wednesday Harnoy and cross-streets between Far > nam and Howard ; Thursday , St. Mary's uyomio ; Friday , Ninth , Dod o and blocks around the exposition building. Fanning & blavcn's contract lasts foi two years and , us will bo seen , kooin their machines pretty busy every nigli except Saturday. The new pavement widen is now being laid , will increase ihi territory , requiring machine swcopini and will afford much more opportunit' ' for extra labor. OMAHA IN 1853. At Which Thno It Was Vlowotl h' ' Iowa KmiKmuts. J. It. Foster of Boise City , Idaho , is 11 the city unei was mot last night by a BE reporter. When this gentleman su\ Omaha first he was in his seventeen ! year and ono of the youthful members c an emigrant party which in 1853 croisei the plains to the Williaraotto valley i Oregon. The train comprised 150 pec plo and seventy wagon ? , They travele the distance between western Iowa an the point named in seven months , an during that time did not meet a civilize person until they had gone 400 miles bi yonel Salt Lake. The Omaha which Mr , Foster daw l > n hulfaxlozeu houses , nml the river ht that time lavdd tJio base of the bluffs which now form the eastern ex tremity of the plateau upon which the city is now built. Ills party camped near South Omaha creek , which , however , has now disappeared , the exact site1 of the resling place being in the rear of where I'axton & Gallagher's stpro now stands Florence was then the town which led in population , having a small J > opulation composed mainly of Mormons. Since 185 ; ) Mr. Foster hits been lending an active life iu mining and other pur suits in the interior of Oregon , Montana and Idaho , far beyond the reach of rail roads , ono of which he never saw until live years ago , when ho had attained the ago of lorty-llvo yaars. During the Bannock war In 1878 , Mr. Foster acted as courier , and , at the same time , kept u half dozen papers informed of the progress of tlio engagements. General Howard , however , who was In command , discovered the latter fact nnd kept Foster so busy with messages that ho was not able to continue his correspondence , as ho had desired. Mr. Foster will remain in the city a few days before going otiht on business. WANrnn A sot of bank vault doors- Address J. W. & K. L. Squire , Council Bluffs , Iowa. A CASE OV How Henry JohtiMoti Lost His Jewelry. Henry Johnson , a man about twenty- fiyo years of ago , resident In tills city , ap peared at police headquarters and related a sail tale of how ho hud lost a valuable ring unrt a cold watch worth § 100. lie said that he haibtuyed all night In a house of questionable repute kept by Ella Ver- lln , on Harncy and Eleventh streets. When ho woke up yesterday morning Hie found that his ring and a p < vwn ticket , which ho hod taken for his watch , wore missing. The inmates disclaimed all knowledge of the matter nnd refused to trivo him any satis faction. Going to Mochlo's pawn-shop on lower Farnam street , ho loiinel that the watch had boon taken out of pawn a few moments before by a strangor.whoso description Moohlc professes to bo unable to give. Officer Timibull set to work on the matter , and in an hour's time recov ered the ring , which had been given by one of the females to a man in North Omaha. This same woman claims that she knows nothing about the pawn-ticket. but it is morally certain that that , too. w.as ; stolen The polices think that they are on the track of the man who got the time piece from the pawnbroker. They are indig nant ovet tno way the proprietor of the pawnshop is acting , and claim that ho is doing nothing more nor less than trying to shield the thief. His notion in allowing a total stranger to walk away with the watch without getting his name , or satisfying himself that the transac tion was "square , " is regarded as decidedly " .
