THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : WEDNESDAY AUGUST IP , 1880 , HAS FORFEITED ITS CHARTER , An Interesting Allegation Concerning the Street Railway Company. THE CABLE COMPANY ANSWERS. A Consumptive Husband's Btorj- Victor-Ion * Omaha. Turners A Twelve-Year Old Child ns I nr tender , do. , oto. Died Us Answer. Yesterday 'nflprnoon J. C. Cowin And George B. Lake , attorneys for the cable railway company , filed in the United States court their answer to the bill recent'y filed by the street company in praying for an in junction from Judge Dundy. The answer of the cable company Is of ralhnr sensa tional interest , and shows the line of the fight which the cable company proposes to make against the antagonistic cor poration. The answer begins by reciting the claims of the street car company that it owns the exclusive right of way to own and operate a street railway in this city. The answer admits that thu street car company was organi/od by an act of the territorial legislature , but denies that it has any such exclusive rights as claimed. The answer then makes the startling declaration that the street car company has lostlls charter and therefore has no right to operate its cars in this city at all. In support of this statement , it sets UD that in In 1870 the street car property was sold on a foreclosure of mortgage to Cap tain .Marsh. At that v'ery moment , it is alleged , the corporation ceased to exist , and hence its charter expired. Consequently quently it had no right to operate in Omaha and possessed no charter author izing it to so operate. Until 1881 , Cap tain Marsh , it is alleged , operated the line nlotiu , when he hold a three-fifths interest in it to Messrs. S. H. H. Clark , Frank Murphy and Guy Barton. Durinir all this time , it is claimed , the road has been without a charter or rights of any sort. The answer then goes on to urge that oven if the company's charter wore in force ( which point is expressly denied , of course ) , it permits them to operate horse cars alone , anil not cars propelled by steam. Consequently , it is alleged , the claims of the cable railway in no manner clash with the rinhts ot the street rail way. For , though the cars of the cable road will not be propelled directly by Btoani. they certainly are indirectly , the cable being moved by the central power in the engine house. The cable company propose to make their strong light on the alleged fact that the charter of the street car company has been forfeited. They will try to prove that that latter corporation , so far from having anv right to enjoin the building of the cable road , has absolutely no right to operate its own lino. Tlio fight AVill doubtless be a red-hot one , as both sides arc "loaded for bear. " Dr. S. D. Mercer has returned from Columbus , where ho went to pro- euro Irom Judge Post a temporary writ of injunction on behalf of thu cable road ogainst the street railway company , res tricting the latter corporation from inter fering with the right of way on certain streets. Further hearing is Bet for August 21 in the court of this district. A STKANGE 8TOIIV. A Iliistmnd Wlio Slinrod Ills AVIfc AVI ill Another Man. A little , thin , palefaccd man , named W. E Dickson was brought into police court yesterday morning to answer to a charge of assault on J. Y. Momlcnhall , another consumptive individual. Tlio charge was proven and Dickson was sentenced to HO days in the county jail. To all appearances the case was an or dinary ono of assault and battery. Upon investigation , however , decidedly sensa tional circumstances developed them selves. " It appears that for years back , Men- dcnlmll , who is n variety trick performer , passing under the name of Prof. Nave , has been consumptive. Up to within a few weeks lie has resided in St. Joseph , Mo. , with his wife and little boy. Some months ago his health began to fail , and he was sunt west to the mountains in the hope that a change of air might benefit him. lie did , at length , return to St. Joseph greatly improved in health. But ho found that his wife had loft St. Joseph with the boy had eloped with n painter named W. E. Diekson , with whom she had become acquainted dur ing her husband's absence. " 1 tracked tlinm to Omaha , " said Men donhall.ln relating his .story to the judge , "and 1 found them living together in n house on South Twelfth street. I urged my wife and boy to leave Diokson and return to St Joe with me. She would not come with me , " " 'You're ' bound to dlo in a short time , ' she said , 'and what's the use of my going to live with you. When you died I'd bo without n homo. Now , I've got a com fortable ono and Dickson gives me every thing that I want. Besides , I love him. ' "Mio positively refused fo leave him , and went on talking in that way. "Finally she said , 'I'll toll 3-011 what you can do , You've ' got consumption and won't lost long , so you may just stop with Mr. Dickson and myself for the rest of your days. You can make this your homo and nave whatever you want. ' "Thoro was nothtii ! ' bolter to do , and I accented the proposition asn sort of com promise , Everything went smoothly un til last Sunday , whim my wlfo had a mis carriage and suddenly died. She was Imrlcu at the expense ot Dickson and myself. That night I took possession ot jjiy wife's effects and the uoy and prepared - pared to leave for St. Joseph. Dickson plopped mo and demanded both my wife's ' things and the boy. Of course J refused to give them up , and then ho urutallv attacked mo. " Momlcnlmll now has possession of both Ids 'dead wifes' effects and the boy. To the latter Judge Stenbor road quite n lecture on tlumibject of filial duties and the little fellow finally consented to ac company his father. They will proba bly return to St. Joseph. An effort was made yesterday after- jiooii to secure Diekson's ruloaso on u writ of habeas corpus. Attorney Sells itiado nn application for a writ to Judgu McCulloiili { , who refused to ibsuu the paper , on the ground that ho had no ju risdiction in the case. Soils then sought Judge Stenborgs and tried to bulldoio him into changing his sentence and m leasing Dickson , but without olleet. Foul Jug is strong against Dickson , whqso treatment of the dead woman and her in valid husband has been such as to causu /cbusidorablo / censure. TJII3V TOOK TUB I1IIOOM. AVIili It the Turn Veroln Can tured Nearly all tlio 1'rUon. The Omaha Turners arrived ycsterdaj morning from St. Joclby way of Ih Kunsa tity ) , & St. Jon.

They were met nt the depot by a mini- > erof leading German citizens Who pro- viited each ot the twelve turners with a nagnllicont conical boqtiot of beautiful lowers.

With their success 'resident Hcimrod is in every way ileased. Ho speaks in the highest maii- ler of the treatment the party met from ho turners from other points as also the people of St. Joe. One of the Germ-in papers commenting ipon them baid the Omniums had the > est men. best band , best turners , and ho best drinkers , and the best prizes in ho fest. What more could they want ? They were dined , and in return gave heir commors with becoming liberality , especially on the grounds , where they entertained everybody liberally. Mr. loimrod also speaks of the excellent rcatmcnt they received trom the mayor , vhile ho joins with the classes , oven of St. Joe in denouncing the injustice of ho teacher of that place in marking the Omaha boys work.

Chortle , Oakland : " 1 want to tell you that some one has sent yon er roneous statements concerning the crops n our part of the country. Several of the reports are to the effect that our gram uts nil been destroyed by the late drouth. Jf course it is not so good as if we had not i ad ourdryspoll.but the yield will be fully equal ly to that of last year. The average las increased and the small grain is good is lever saw it.espepially in quality.wlnlo .ho j'ield of corn will be fully equal to hat of last year. What may seem new to you , though old tois , is the fact that JUT farmers arc organizing a grain and lumber company. They have for some lime back oceti feeling that they have lccn discriminated against bjr local deal ers and take this method of protecting themselves. They propose to raise a capital ot $20,000. wich which to carry on the business. Already they have had subscribed about eight hundred dollars , and while in my opinion 1 feel they will not be able to raise the amount sought , one of the bankers lulls mo he thinks they will be able to get what they buuk. " Lew Muy , Fremont : The state fish commission propose to make an excel lent showing at the forthcoming state fair. We will have a display of native iish raised at Hie hatchery at South Bend , together with collections from the United States fish commission , also from the states of Michigan , Wisconsin , Minnesota seta , Illinois , New York and Connecticut. Besides these we will have portraits of sporting Iish , plaster casts of fish of various varieties , fishes stuffed and in alcohol , together with a number of other specimens of marine invertetrates , We have purchased a number of excellent pictures of the game fishes of America , which will also be on exhibition. I do not like to say too much about what wo intend to do , because this fish business is somewhat uncertain. I always like to put an "if" before my promises 5n _ this respect , because wo may bo disappointed by others. But 1 think I can safely say our exhibit will be greatly in advance of that of last year. S. H. Ualhoun , Nebraska City : "Times are very satisfactory in our town at the present time. The Burlington & Missouri is now handling piles for a permanent bridge at our place , and it looks as if it would be speedily pushed to a conclu sion. Mr. S. II H. Clark was down to our place a few days ago talking- over the advisability of extending the Missouri Pacific to Nebraska City. He saw a num ber of our merchants and they told him to mention tlio amount it would require to build his road to our town. I have no doubt they would be able to raise tlio re quired amount. The fact is. the Burling ton & Missouri has been discriminating tigainst Nebraska City. It is the only road wo have , and I know that several times that the Missouri Pacific has tried to come to us , but it 1ms been kept away by the Burlington & Missouri on the ground that thu territory is properly its own. i cannot mention figures to sub stantiate this charge of discrimination , but 1 know that our farmers tell mo that when that the price of corn goesvip so do tlio freights , so much so that it is almost impossible for them to make n decent margin on their products. Whenever a margin is made by anybody it is by n certain few who are able to get a rebate. Many of our merchants have told mo that they do just as well by freighting their produce to Dunbar , a distance of eleven miles from Nebraska City , and then shipping it cast by way of the Mis souri Pacific. They toll mo fiirthoy that there is on foot a movement to cstablinh n , freighting line between our town and that point.1 ' A TWELA E-YBAU-OJjD GllUf. Hlio is Made to Act as Bartender Inn Low Saloon.

I'ho reports stated that the Indians were well armed and wore ploying sad havoc n the country through which they were passing , burning , foraging , stealing stock , and ravishing the wives of the white bottlers , General Bnsbin at once sent Adjutant Lieutenant Stevens to investigate the matter , and that official finds the report greatly exaggerated. There are only vbout thirty Indians , one-half of whom ire squaws , and no while women have jocn ravished , nor havu the other depre- lations been as widespread or terrible as reported. Thu truant Indians have been ordered back to their reservation and will probably return without further dis turbing the easily scared white settlers on Goose Creek. Kail Notes.
