THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : THURSDAY , AUGUST 20 , 1880. A WORKMAN'S QUEER DEATH John Rogers Dies From the Out of a Fall ing OhUcl. A COUNTERFEITER ARRESTED. Horrible Treatment of n. Child TrntiftrcrrtngVoni < loutiil ) Freight The Oninlm Councilman In Dcnrrrt Ijto. A Chisel Old It , Jack ItoRisrs , a cnrjienlcr employed on the Moiiiit'll residence which U bi'injiercet- ctl on Dodge .street , near Twentieth , lost tils life yesterday afternoon in a. very peculiar manner. Jlo was working on a scallbld intf In front of tlio building , when suddenly " ' " framework bcinj ; jnrred a cliisel which had boon rest ing on one of the joists , was thrown down and fell directly upon KOR- crs'shoulder , rutting a horriblu ga.sh and Revering one of the largo arteries. Uog- crs retained prescneo of mind enough to climb down the ladder and ask the men to send nt 0111-0 for a doctor. Dr. Dysurt came lit once in response to the call , but before ho hero could arrive on the seeno Kogers wits dead , lie had bled to death within ten minutes of the timu the artery was severed. The Inquest was held by Coroner Drexel yesterday afternoon , gnml developed the faets as sta ted above. None ol the workmen seemed to know by whoso fatal carelessness the chisel had been left lying on the joists. The foreman tes- tilledthat Kogors , when climbing down the ladder had said to him "some of left a chisel up then- , and it fell on mo. ( Jo for a doctor in u hurry ! Stop this blood ! " Thcho were the last words lie spoke. Koger.s was a man about thirty-live years old. .No one seems to know much nhout him , except that ho has been in Omaha three years , and came hero from Jowa , where lie has relatives still living. The body was removed to Drexel it Maul's. _ _ TllANSFKIlKINK FUEIG11T To Ijoonl StntlotiH , ( JnodH Arc Trnnn- I'rrrcd nt Council HIiifl'H. There has been a change in the manner of transferring freight at this pointwhich may yet result in a decrease of the mini- lcr of freight bands employed at the Union I'acitic depot in this eity. Until the present time it was customary for all the local freight from the east to come to this side of the river , mostly jn the cars in which it was shipped at points further cast. Here it was taken from those cars , wei ghed , laid upon the platform , weighed a second time , ami again placed in Union Pacific cars bound for the station to which the goods were con- fligncd. If there were goods from this elation consigned to the same destination they were loaded with these from the cast. This order of tilings has now been changed Freight from Chicago , intend ed for local points on the Union Pacific , now comes no further than Council lilnll's. It is transferred at that point from the eastern roads , to the cars of the Union Pacific. The cars are then brought to this side of the river and if freight is billed hero to the same point is placed on board with that from the cast. Through freight , that is freight which la billed at an eastern , point and destined to the coast , is par tially transferred over and partially on this side of the river. The greatest fea ture of tlio change , however , is the trans fer of local freight , above mentioned. Three gangs of men , comprising from thirty to fifty laborers wore yesterday put to work at the transfer depot in the IJlufl's in trans-shipping the local freight mentioned. These men do so much that was formerly done here there beams to bo little douut in the minds of many of the depot hands engaged on this side of the river that a number of them will probably have to bo discharged. This causes thorn to look gloomy , though there is very little rea son for that. The change lias been necessitated by the recent in crease in freight business , and the smallness - ness of the yards and the fewness of the tracks which render it almost impossible for the company to handle its through eastern and western business. The com pany is now widening anil lengthening jU yards and before long will be able to lay all the tracks its business now re quires. When that Is done , the tempo rary chnugo above mentioned will be set aside and all the freight work will be done this hide of the river. * SHOCKING UllUKI/TY. A Hey Tells of Horrllilo Treatment uy Ills Aunt. Mr * . Davis , a lady living near Four teenth and Lcavenworth , name up to the Buckingham hall late yesterday afternoon leading by the hand a small boy , who Jooked as though he had just cseapod flam Dotheboya hall , the prison school BO vividly portrayed by Dickons. Ho was dressed in a very s canty assort ment of ragged clothes , with a heavy tmckground of dirt and filth. His hliriveled , puny form and pale , weazened face , showed that lin must luivo received horrible mistreatment. Mrs. Davis' Btory was to the oll'oct that for months past the child has been with his aunt , a Mrs. lilack , in that neighborhood , and lias received brutal treatment nt her bauds. Kvory morning at four or live o'clock ho has been obliged to get up , make the lire , and do the heavy drudgery of cooking breakfast , washing dishes , otn. When these tasks wore disposed of ho was sot nt work inucii beyond Ids capabilities , bolng allowed scarcely a single mo ment for play. His aunt would , beat him on the slightest provocation with a slicker or board , and the mire and bruises on bis body show what horrible treatment lie has received. Ho wns told that he would bo killed if ho ever cried out , ami consequently when bcnon ( imvor screamed , The boy tells a sickening story of further shocking cruelties , which it would seem could hardly bo triio. The ladles of the Buckingham will care for him. A SlIOVKIl" TUB QUF.KK. Decoyed and ArraMad liy Deputy U , K. JMnrslinl Allen Yesterday.

Linic is flic Fcrious defect found in most of the cream of lavtnr baking powders. As a matter of fnct , chemical analysis has found 51 in all sucli the " ' " Its is caused of ndnl- powders except "Uoj'nl. presence by the use - torntud cream of tartar in the eflovt to reduce their cost of production. Limo adds to the weight while it detracts from the strength of the baking powder , It also renders thu food less wholesome , giving rise to dyspepsia and kindred ailments. Unking powders containing lime pro duce less leavening gas , and therefore in use are more expensive than a first class , pure article. The Royal Halting Powder is made from cream of tartar that is first specially refined and made chemically pure. No tartrate of lime or other impurity can find its way into the "Royal , " and to this fitcb its great su periority in strength , wholcsomeness and keeping quality is due. All this adds greatly to the cost of manufacturing the Royal Baking Powder , but as all its ingredients aiv selected and prepared with the siime precise care and regardless of labor or'expsnse ' , an article is produc ed that is free from every extraneous substance "absolutely pure. " Xor does it contain any ingredients except those necessary to make a pure , wholesome and perfect baking powder. Prof. McMurtrie , late chemist in chief of the U. S. Department of ag riculture , after analyzing the cream of tartar used by the various baking powders of the market , testifies to the absolute purity of that employed in the Royal Baking Pcwder as follows : "I have examined the cream of tartar manufactured for and used by the Royal Baking Powder Company in their baking powder , and find it to be perfectly pure and free from lime in any form. " Prof. Love , who made the analysis of baking powders for the New York State Board of Health , as well its for the government , certifies to % the purity and wholcsomeness of the Royal. Dr. E. II. Bartley , chemist of the Brooklyn , N. Y. , Department of Health , pays "I have recently analyzed samples of the 3loyal Baking Powder purchased by myself in the stores o this city , and find it free from lime in any form. " Bread , cake , biscuits , etc. , prepared with Royal Baking Powder will be lighter , sweeter and more wholesome than if made with anj'Lother baking powder or leavening agent.
