THE OMAHA. DAILY BEE : AUGUST 11 , 1880. SEWERAGE CONTRACTS LET. Work On Lincoln's ' System to Bo Boeun With a Largo Forco. THEY KICKED ON THE PRIZES. Capital Cltj Dealers Wnnt No Lottery Tea niul CofTco Snlci Work of ImnciiHtcr Toaclicrs Oilier Lincoln Mutters. fntOM TIIK nun's MNCOI.N nuiitcAU.1 The city t'ounclltnen have unanimously awarded the contract for putting in the ftowcrngc system. This stop taken is another toward busy times nml much employment for the autumn months and thoyear following , for with the growth of the city scwerago must grow , and the system once in under wnv will moan much business for laborinjimen. Since the night of the public mooting some two weeks since Iho opposition to the plans nml nets of the council in the way of inodilications and engineering , has greatly decreased , and it has fairly ceased to bo a topic of street conversation , the sentiment of the pcoplo in the city is so generally In favor of continuing the work without break or hlnderanco that it has caused many who micht bo consider doubters to full in for the improvement , nnd tliero has boon little talk of stopping work through legal process of late and it looks now a.s though the council would be undisturbed in forwarding the sewerage Hy.stcm. Tlio contract for the heavy work of the .sewerage system was lot to F. A. Korsmeyer & Co. , of this city , they being lie lowest bidders , on a bid of $3.j40. This contract covers sixteen miles of which Is to bo completed on or before January 1 , and the rest of the sixteen miles to lie finished by Juno 1 , 1837. The contractors who have been awarded the contract tire safe , reliable men , who are engaged In the plumbing and gas fit ting business. They will commence op erations at nn early day and give em ployment to a largo body of men , which will make labor plenty for some time. In regard to tlio construction of manholes and Hushing tanks for the sewerage sys tem , that part of tlio work will bo rp-ad- verti.scd and let at a future day. but if no obstructions in the way of legal processes are put in the city's way , the construc tion of sewerage will be a lively business in a short time , and one that thu laboring classes especially will appreciate. TIIK DISTIMIlt'TOItS OK l'ItI/.K9 ON'TllIAI , . The county court was occupied yester day in the trial of the Globe Cofleo and Tea company , that has for the last ton days ueon doing a thriving business on O street , much lo thu discomfiture of the dealers in those staplecommoditics in the city. The complaint and information is signed by two of tlio prominent grocers in the city , John II. Nadcn and Harry A. Tcbhotts , the complaint reciting that M. Fisher , C. F. Nobcs , O. Lewis , T. W. Becker , J. W. Wilson andC.Dawson , the parties at work under tlm name of tlio ( Jloljo ColVeo and Tea campany , have opened nnd set on toot , nnd are now carrying on , promot ing publicly in the city of Lincoln , n scheme ot chance or lottery , and the complainants further say that the parties are selling and exposing for sale teas and coll'eo of same value , and said to contain valuable prizes and gifts , all of which is in violation of statutes as made ami provided. The case is being prosooufed by Attorneys Lansing nnd Stearns , and Caldweil aud Billingslcy are thu counsel for the defendants. A voluminous lot of witnesses were put up on the stand by the prosecution to show that it was not the goods Uought that parties purchased , but that it was for the .chances. The plan of work of the com pany is to sell cans of ton and collce fora dollar each , and have a pri/.o in each can , sometimes valuable and more times worthless. Among the advertised prizes given out are watches , diamonds , solid gold jewelry and cold cash , and the testi mony of tno state witnesses was all in eflbct that they were after big prizes moro than ten or colTeo. if a person' pur chases a can for a dollar and tails to get anything of value in the way of a pmo , the company take back the cau at half price and give a fifty-cent chance to the customer. This ten'ls to keep the ball rolling , and some parties , as the testi mony bhowed , keep up a struggle for prizes until they had spent $20 nnd up ward , and there they would go away minus any tea or coffee , this tendency going to snow that the straight groceries played little part in the performaneo. One of the witnesses related his experi ence : that having heard of alike scheme before in Hullalo , N. Y , , whore UIQ tea and coll'eo men clcurqd up big money , ho went into the store and let them know ho know .their plan ofwork and the big prolit it secured IIo was not allowed to toll on'tho witness stand all he know of the BnQ'alowork , but he did toll how that , after ho ilnid told them that ho under stood their plans nnd they had invited him to purchase , that ho invested with the idea that something great would come to him , but the tea and coflco men were up to anull' . and ho purchased and drew brass , and purchased again and drew brass , and then jumped the game anil testilied in court. The testimony of all the prosecuting witnesses was in eifoct that they were gambling lor diamonds rather than buying tea and coilen , nnd evidence was introduced to show the quality and quantity of the said groceries given lor a dollar. There 1ms boon u rumbling that portended just snob an ending as this for the ( Hobo Coll'eo nnd Tea companv , and it Ins boon a clear case that the grocers in the city have looked upon the operation all the time witli great disfavor , I.V&T1TUTE WOltK at the teachers' session uLtlio high school is progressing very satisfactorily this week , and tlio total enrollment has reached M8. The lecture of Professor Thompson Monday evening , on the topic of 'iWhat Makes the Man1 was largely attended nnd greatly appreciated.

ITEMS IK IIIilEK. The question of lighting the city has been under discussion for a short time , and the city council now has propo Hitlons from both the gas and the electric light companies. The lost proposition made by tno eloetrio light company is tc place fifty liuhts on the street within n radius of ono mile from the center of the city , and to keep them burning until midnight , at a cost to the city of ? 500 year. The electric light company fur nishes the meagre street lights that the city enjoys.

Cleveland Sunday Sun : The good old ladies are now beginning to tell us that war is an inevitable fact of the near future. How do they know ? Simply be cause all , or mostly all , of the babies born tiiis year are boys. That is an unfailing presage of war , as every sensible think ing man ought to know. It is , of course , n very good thing that we are advised of this fact in nmulc time to trim pur sails. Everything will go IIP that is , every thing eatable and salable , anil we must begin to store away and garner up at once. The shoddy clothing manufne.- lurors , and Iho ingenious persons who make coffee out of peas and hard-tack out of pine blocks , can now are to work nt getting ready supplies for the army. Perhaps there may bo a general exodus to Canada when this male surplus in the baby line becomes known , but we have lost so many prominent citizens to the unfortunate dominion that wo are grief- hardened. I hope that tlio boy-baby sign doesn't mean n civil war ; we have had enough of that. But when the girl babies outnumber the boys it will bo plainly un derstood that another sort of war is surely foretold the domestic war. This lifo is one unending strife. A Fair Samplo. Washington Critic : They were sitting in the house gallery after having taken a look over the capitol , and were discuss ing the building. "Father , " asked the daughter , "is the capitol fireproof ? " 'Oh , yes , " was the confident reply , "thnre's nothing in hero that will burn , unless it is a congressman's speechsome times. " "Is it burglar-proof , too , fattier ? " con tinued the young lady. "Don't ' ask too many questions , daughter , don't nbk too lunnvquestions , " said the father cautiously , "xou know your fnt'.ior was in congress once , and you remember what the newspapers said about him. And daughter , he was a fair sample. " Onn of tho. Survivors.

Herald : A real robber from the mountains and plains of the wild west is a prisoner at the Central Police station. He was brought in from iho An- amoia , Iowa , penltentiarv.ycsteiday , and will bti taken today to the penitentiary at Albany , N. Y. His story is an inter est in t ; one. In appearance Marion ( iam bic for that is the name of this stage robber is sallow-faced and pop-eyed. Ho i.s twenty-six years old. Ho is tall , and will weigh between 130 and 100 pounds. According to his own comes- sion he , witlt two others , successfully held up a stage in Montana containing fifteen persons , including the driver. After the shackles had been removed from his hands and feet , and ho had shaken himself n little , lie looked around with n smile , cordially greeted a number of detectives who were looking intently at him , nnd then calmly nsked for a cigarette , which was given him. Ho was then taken to a cell , where , after a few consolatory pull's of the wood , he s-ettlcd back on his wooden bench , and in answer to a reporter's query said. "So you want to know how 1 worked the racket , do you ? Well , Hain't darin1 work , and thorn as says it is don't know. \ \ 'y. it's as easy , " and ho pulled a cloud of smoke around bis head by way of illustration. "Hut before 1 tells you everything I want you to know that the ( turned shorill's at Doer Lodge lied about me when they said as Low 1 had robbed nine coaches. How many did I rob ? Well , 1 didn't rob nine by a dttrned sight , anyhow. Now , I'm an Illeenoy boy , born right liyar In Mont gomery county , and I'm too elus' to hum to have nny lies told about mo. i left this state ton years ago , when I was but sixteen , and 1 struck tor the west , landin * in Montana. I knocked aroun' rounrtin' up nnd cultin' out cattle for dill'eront ranchmen. But I got tired and went to minin' in Wyomin' Territory. 1 got married thrco years after I loft tins state , and I've got a wife and a baby six year old. But they don't know where 1 tun , an" it'.s just as good they don't ; reckon they think 1'vo sloped. But that's none of your business and wo won't argy Iho matter , " as lie turned back and blow his nose and wiped his eyes several times. "AVhat you want is this stage business. I got poor , had no work , and took to drinkin' like many adurned fool afore mo. Ono night along in July , " 82 , mo an Tom Sheldon , Iho traitor , and Frank Wiley was sittin' in a boo/.e joint in Deer Lodge , when in cum a stoTlcman , I fnrgit his name , an' he says. 'Boys , lot's all take a drink on me. ' Well , wo tuck it an' good many more afpro he left us fur his fehako-down at a friend's ' ranch. Before ho left us wo lound onf that he was heeled heavy witn the sDondulix an' that lie was goinc : to take the coach fur a point lifteon miles nway som'ers across the Reek Divide on Thursday. This was Tuesday wo heard this. Well , what could wo'do ? Didn't ho have $35,000 ? An' wo wanted it. So wo sets on our nags an' waited near the divide fur Thursday an' the coach Sure enough , 'long about noon the ole coach cum nt ) tlio pass. We tethered our nags behind a little clump of pinons an' laid fur it. I had .1 double-barrel shotgun an' two forty-fours , while Sheldon an' Wiley had two Remingtons an' two Colts. I told the boys to be steddy an * all jump out at the same timo. Wo did it , an' when the olc driver saw us he pulled up without a word an' dropped the lines ; he had bce.ii there afore an' know his busi ness. While Wiley hold the horses me nn' Sheldon ordore.d the passentrors out , an 1 stood 'cm in a line , cxcoptin' the Avimmon folks two of 'oin. Ono feller went fur his hip pocket , but I told him to drop it , and ho did , quick , you bet. It wasn't a pistol , though. It was a pookotbookj about § 300 in it. All of 'em was scared most nigh to death , and the coach full of shootin' irons at that. lint when a feller looks down a double-barrelled shotgun and a couple of Colts lio'll ' throw up his hands cf ho's got sense. Wo didn't got much about $4,000 in jewels an1 money fur , you see , our stockman had got drunk an' missed connections. He cum over on the next coach , on Sunday , an' never got tired blowin' about the good luck whisky brought him. had bad luck , though , for while I was searching n 'high ilycr' my mask fell oil'an' ho identified me after I was capture.d. An' that reminds " bttid tlio "tho mo , suddenly prisoner , fellow that saw my face was named Pen- royd. i disromembcr his lirst name , an' he was a drummer for a Chicairo wholesale - sale clothinir house. I had his card , but I lost it. 1 didn't take nttthin' from tlio wimmon nnd I give back some money tea a couple of poor devils who talked about starvin' babies an' sich. I had to laugh at the Chicago feller , though. He were kid gloves , and when I cum to him I sorter took hold his iins fur fun , when I felt a plain gold ring. I made him take the glove oil' and found the ring was a pure sparkler , with the stone turned so as to bo on the inside ot his linger. Igot it just thosamo , thougli-.an1 when I looked into his grip I found a box of good cigars an' a quart of the best whisky I over tasted. I passed itaround , so's to make everybody spruce up like , Then wc.lct 'omgo.an' three months later I was nabbed by thq sheriff's at Shedd's ' Bridges , as I told you in the start oil' . The United States officers say I got ? 00- , 000 from the Wells l-'nrco express , but it's a ( turn lie ; didn't got half that , fur I didn't rob it , " and ho winked knowingly at Ids listeners. "Tliis Chicago follor , Ponroyd. is n queer cuss , though , " added tho.highwny- man , rollcotively , Ho told the judge that ho was an export on voices , an' said ho was sure I robbed him , even if ho was mistaken about my fuco. Now , I road sommors that In a.000,000 voices there ain't no five alike , yet this cunning cuss rapped to mo as soon as ho heard mu talk. Funny , ain't it ? If yon can tiiut Ponroyd tell him to cum an' see me , I'd like tobhake hands with him. " When nsked what ho considered pay ing work at stage robbing ho replied that , taking everything into considera tion , ho should think $10,000 or $15,000 would bo about right. Marshal Desmond , who will to-day tnUo Gamble to Albany , says the prisoner is a desperate follow , and that ho was long sought for before captured. The specific charge against him is thu riilling of United States mail matter and jeopardizing ardizing the life of the carriers , llola sentenced for lifo , Imitations have been foisted upon the market so closely resembling Alicook's Porous Piasters in general appearance as to bo well calculated to deceive. It is , however , in general appearance only that they compare with Allcock's , for they are worse than worthless , inasmuch as they contain deleterious ingredients which arc apt to cause serious injury. Remember that Allcock's are the only genuine porous plasters the best external - nal remedy ever known ; and when pur chasing plasters do not only ask for but see that you get "Allcock's Porous Plas ters. " The popularity which these plas ters have attained during the past thirty yours Una no parallel , so it is no wonder that imitations and counterfeits abound. A FAMOIS OUTLAW , Ills llcntArkni > U Uscnpailcs , final Capture aHiOHorrlblo Death. Philadelphia ( L'hics : In the gray of n misty morninpi Siptcmbcr 20 , 1778 , at Providence anil Idgcmont avenues , in the borough of bldCliester. was executed the intrepid outlar , Captain .lames Fitz- patrlek , the terro1 of the whig revolu tionary forcfathen of Chester county. Captain Fitzaslio , railed himself , was a blacksmith by tudo. He was a patriot volunteer early inl770 with the "Flying Camp" of CheMoicounty , which wont to participate in tls disastrous battle of lAMig Island. He might have taken not only a hand in Uupngngomunllhatlxiircil or consigned to jrison > hips mo < t of the "Old PennsyUaiiii Line , " but have at tained rank with he best blood of them all , had not a bruttl Hogging for slight disobedience chaujed llio current of his future actions. Uesertlng the patriot cause ho swam tin Hudson river , crossed New Jersey and reached Philadelphia , homeward bound o Cheslcr county. Ho Was arrested in tils city nnd safely quar tered in the old NVilnut street prison. On promising to remw his military lifo ho \\as lot go , but tlis memory of that llog- ging luumled bin , and when tlio British appeared at tlio Ilk river , preparatory lethe the battle of Bra.ilywhuj , Fit/ joined the enemy's ranks. Subsequently , Miou the victorious llrit- ish , under ( Sen. Ibwe , look po cssion of Philadelphia , Fit patrlek was there in the role of captan , with a lioutonunt of his own choice mined Mordocal Doherty. With a small connand they terrorized their old ncighbnwhig.s in Chester county. Their hindquarters were often tit "HtuuK pass , " iear the present town of Coatsvillo. Tin tux collector seems to have been the Articular object of Fit/ ' ntVoetions. It is related that on a certain foraging cxpedltim , falling in with two of these \yorthius irmcd with muskets , and entering into onvorsatlon with him , they Inquired if ho had ever seen this dipt. Fitzpatrick One of thorn , Capt. McGowiUi'as lutioularly 'bolicoso in c.\prehMtig tlio goat ulonsurc it would give him to moa the outlaw and give him a lessen. On tearing this Fits ; drew out his pistols , giyiigthointo understand ho was the indmlunl in question , nnd would be obligci to them to fork out their money and \iluables. The boast ful captain was foeed to resign his mili tary swords nnd pitols , bis queue was cropped clos-c , ant , boiug tied to a tree , lie was severely lligged. On represent ing that the watcliMtz helped himself to was a family relic L was returned. An old ballad says : Koine he did rob , thtn let them go free. Bold Capt. Mco\vai ( ! he tied to a tiee ; Some he did whip ail some he did spaic , Ho cauidit Capt. Mco\van ( and cut off his hair. These daring nes of lawlessness led the wings of Chest r to combine in an cll'ort to capture tin outlaw , and to this end they oflercd a nward of $1,000 for his head. Several vigilant committees wore on the hunt aid meetings were held to devise plans to jring- the outlaw to justice. Fitzpatriec himself put in "Ui incog , appearance t ono of those mce't- ings at a tavern ui the West Chester road. A militia uiptnln was holding forth in a gran.dilwinent style , dilating on the eminent , plcisuro it would afl'ord him to moot Ca/taii / Fitx. face to face that lie might haiut him'1 over. The outlaw watched his chanctfand when the. noisy captain was alone le approached him and btiid he could hpve.his wishes crntlticd relative to Captainl'itK. Ho was" invited to a neighboring nom to sco the outlaw face to face. On cilering the room Fit/ locked the dooi and leveled a candlestick at the dumbfounded captain's headsiying ' : "Young man , you want to see Cap. FitI am that person. I'll troubb you for your watch and the money .yo | may have about you. " With hands tiedwith his own handker chief behind his bnpk.tho captain was told : "You may gd bick to j-our friends and tell them that yui wanted to bee Capt. Fitx and you have seen him. " The pro clamations of tlio executive county com mittee ofl'ering a pizc for Ins head made him a target for concealed marksmen , yet ho escaped , apiearing oven in broad daylight in Kennat square , with pistols and dagger , at the "Unicorn , " the noted tavern ot the tiiiB. It is said that the people made wa } for him as he passed , but these must have been tor.v friends , wlo were very nu merous and inlhcntial thereabouts. Never was it said that Fit/ molested a tory , robbed a poor peddler , or insulted a female. This broignt him into favor able recognition wtli all young ladies who sympathized vith King George , and they regarded the jutlaw as a hero. On Aug. 23. 1778 , ho cilled at the house of Capt. McAfee , nn u-clent whig , residing near Castle rock , aromautic spot , where the West Cheater road crosses Crum creek .about ten miles from Chester. In quiring if William McAfco lived there , ho was given to underhand politely that he was talking to tke son , Robert ( Cap tain ) McAfee , Ilcjnning "I am Capt Fitzpatriek , " he was politely invited by the muscular McAfee to tea. Ht/patricic gave him to understand there wore four ot them ; that ho came to levy a con tribution of 150 , and , drawing pistols , demanded the needful. Espying a handsome pair of buckled shoes on young McAfee , ho was not long discussing their utility. Thwarted in not finding tlio money after ransacking all the drawers , or rather compelling Cap tain McAfee to do so , ho imposed as a penalty , that McAfco should join him in the next excursion. Ordering tlio four helpless ones- McAfee's wife , children , and housmaid into line , ho was lixincr on the buckled shoes , still down at the heels , and in the exertion to get them on iisod both hands. This was McAfee's opportunity. Ho sud denly sprang on the outlaw and held his arms , while the housemaid , Rachel Walker , eei/.cd the hand holding the pistol tel and wrenched it from his grasp , Ho was safely taken to prison , and on the 15th of September ho was tried and con victed of burglary and robbery at the county seat , at Chester , Ho was sen tenced for execution on the 20th. It in said the outlaw wus stangled to death , his toes touching the ground as the cart was drawn from under him , and that the executioner brutally aided the work of strangulation by juinl > ing on his back.
