HAS FORFEITED ITS CHARTER ,

Street Railway Company.

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.

n Omaha by one of Sheriff Cobur.i's
lien. Ashman is a man obout twenty-
ivc years of ago , and is not a bad looking
cllow. He has big , black pathetic oj'os ,

plan wore fixed up , and it would have
been carried out but for his arrest ,
Moyers will bo hold for a day or so until

A. B. 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 '

Advices wore received in the city yostcr-

settlers of northern Nebraska have been
enjoying. Monday (3encral ( jBrisbin ,
at Fort Niobrara , lecclvcd a telegram
rom Valentino stating that a baal : of
ifty Indians had broken from the Hose-
bud , agency and were devastating the
country north of that point , torrorir.Iue
especially the settlers on Goose creek.
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.
Advices received at Union Pacific headquarters -
quarters yesterday say tliatfn heavy water
spout occurred near Hortense , Colo. , on
: he Colorado division , last evening. One
iimdred feet of track wore washed out.
tfo lives were lost.
Assistact General Passenger Agent
Jones , of the Union Paci
fic , returned yesterday , , morning
from California , where ho has
been attending the G. A. U1 'reunion. lie
speaks enthusiastically of the way in
which the veterans were treated by the
people of the Golden Gate.
B. It. Thompson returned yesterday
from Denver.
II. A. Johnson , assistantgenoral freight
agent , has returned from a western trip.
Dr. Galbraith returned yesterday
morning from a business trip to Denver.
The overland train yostordayjiiioruing
was blocked for ten minutes ! at Twelfth
street by the crowded condition of tlio
tracks.
The Grand Island train , besides afford
ing convenience for merchants and pro
fessional men to visit Omaha and return
the same night , is now being found par
ticularly serviceable to invalids in the
interior towns. There is scarcely a train
that does not brine some unfortunate to
bo treated by the experienced physicians
and surgeons and specialists in the city ,
It is just as common to see them return
home in the oven ing of the same
day looking entirely different people
ple with bandaged eyes or limbs or
with limbs supported bymodcrncrutolics.
Tlio Htnto Fair Ticket.
The season ticket gotten out for the
State Fair , at Lincoln , is the most elab
orate of the kind overissued in this state.
It is of heavy gold-boveled-edgcd mater
ial. It is lithographed in black , under
neath the name of the party to whom it
is issued being the words "Corn is King. "
The .most noticeable feature of tlio card
is an embossed ear of corn in gilt with
the husk of green drawn back to dis
close tlio full ripograins. The card will
