HEP.'S MSCOI.X mmnvtr.l To the ll.sl of violent deaths In Lincoln , onothur namn was added yesterday. About o o'clock in the morning work- liion in the H. fc M. yards discovered on tin isolated sido-lrack Ihe inulllatcd re mains of a man lying across the rail. The wheels in crushing over him had btruek him at about the waist and well- nigh severed the body into two pieces. One arm was also cut oil' nnd there was no evidence that the dead man had inovejd or even groaned after iho cars had crossed over him. At what time the accident occurred was not dclinltely known , but It was probably some hours before the discovery of the remains. Coroner Roberts at an early hour was notlllcd , ami the body was taken to the morgue , where it was identified and pro- parcel for burial. The man's name was Jack Uullagliur. llu had boon at work for dishing , Mallory < & Co. , out em the grading work of the 15. & M. Hluo Hill extension. In company with a force of workmen ho had conn1 on to Lincoln to commence work on thn now U. & M. line between Anliland and \Vahoo. \ Saturday night , most of the men wont on to the Asnlaml work , but Gallagher remained in Lincoln. It is supposcel that ho was drinking , and in the oarl.y part of the night wont elown to the railroad yurels to slcou. Whuro ho was killed was on an out of the way siding , with suullowors and weeds high on each side of the track. During the night a couple of cars loaded with bridge timbers were thrown in on this track , and it is likely thai ho , uslcop on the rails , was run over at that limo. Gallagher was a single man , and Ihero wore a number in Iho oily who know him ami idonliiied him. Ho had only a liltlo change in his pocket , and the coroner will attend to his burial lo-day. From all that is learned of the death it is nrobablo that , like a multitude of olhor like acci dents , it contains in itself a temperance lecture , and further illustrates the almost certain results that arise from slcopiutr on a railroad. TIIK MISSOl'KI I'ACIKIC has informally announced the now changes that it will make at an early day in the running of Iraius , which will much accoinmodnto Lincoln travel , us the pros- mil lime card is crude , uncertain and tin- satisfactory , and of little use and benefit excepl lor Iho liltlo locallrafiie. The now card will include n direct train to Omaha which leaving here at 11:45 : a. m. , will get to Omaha before S p.m. nnd allow people limo for a few hours business at the me tropolis buforo business closes. This tram , leaving Lincoln midway in time between the two H. & M. Omalia trains , will undoubtedly command a liberal pat ronage from those who journey between the two cilics. With Ihcsc additions il is stated a chair car lo go through to St. Louis without change will bo added to tlio day train out of Lincoln , and during the week of the state fair here extra local trains arc to bo put on for tlm accommodation - ' -dation of local travel.

Six miles this side ofVahoo grounds have been secured for the town of Swcdonburg ; six miles farther on toward Lincoln will bo the town of Corosco , and six miles from Corcsco , over the line in Lancaster county , will be located the town of Davoy. This is twelve miles out of Lin coln.'and no towns will be laid out bo- twccn the Iwo at present. NOT YKT KKVKAMiW. It is staled that the papers have been out for several days in an adultery caso. that if shown to the light of the courts Would make an interesting hearing , and an item almost , if not quite , sensational. It is rumored that Iho parties in the case are qnlto well known , that the man is living with a woman who has taken his name upon horse.lf , which aroused the anger eif the genuine ) wife , so that she swore to the complaints. Stio didn't care so much about prosecuting , but she didn't propose lo have another woman going around with her own righliul name. IS IT A COAT. KIND ? Ye-steirelay Lawyer Coiirtnay was called out to a tract of land that ho owns , situated - uatod tivo miles out of the city , whore he liael word a coal ejiscovory had been made and which was reported lo him as a rich lind. A farmer and former minor named Coiilson has been prospecting on this tract , of laiiel for some time , and if Ihoro is any foundation for the statements a great big thing is opening up for Lincoln in general and Mr. Coiirtnay in particu lar. T.rSSEK J.OCAL ITIIMS. "Tho coal men. of Lincoln IIP.VO boon flirting among themselves and with the people for some time , knocking the price elown to $8.00 a ton at ono time , but only ' to stay n short timo. This great re duction was made when the news first came of thu contemplated location of the 1'onioroy Coal company in Lincoln , but before that company arrived the prices crawled up toflKTO a ton , and the new lirm quotes that price with the olel ones. It is stated , however , that the old firms desirn to shove the price up 10511 a ton , but that the new company , isHatisliod to lot it , remain where il is. If they stick to their determination in that line Lincoln will have what It has lacked Heretofore , and that is a coal lirm outside of the Cameron pool that is satisfied with what must bo a good thing , and will not , ngrco every few weeks to tuck up fuel prices out of all reason. The State National bank has just re- . ceivcd a now Corliss safe , the first one to bo inlrevliiceil in this oily. In the oflbrts to got it in tlioir building , however , the lingo mass of iron got the ailvantago 3f.T the workmem , and when suspended over the walk it took a tumble , crushing , the timber like egg shells , and the safe itself was injured so that the lirm from which it was purchased wore tulogranhwl to como and' in&pect it. However , tlio most serious acoidcnl in connection with It was the breaking of a workman's \cg \ by a llyiug nieico e > f timber.

Lincoln hotels yesterday noted the largest attendance of traveling men for over the Sabbath that have been regis11 tered in the city for months , all of widen either illustrates that the city and its hotels - ' tels are growing iih favor with the com mercial brotherhood , or that they are jiiMt now uncommonly plenty in the land. J. H. Ferris , the representative on the road of Miss Kate Putnam and her com pany , was in the city yesterday arrang ing dates for his attraction to appear in Lincoln. About 1 o'clock .yesterday morning the police , in passing an excavation near Quick's corner , that had boon made for gas or water pipes , hoard the noise of a man struggling at the bottom of tlio hole. and approaching , they found him par tially on his head.

To-day Is tl.o time set for hearing the injunction case brought by cigar makers in Lincoln against David II. Ilyman for using union labels on boxes of non-union liigars. The case promises to be not at all uninteresting. There arc a good many citizens who hope by personal appeals to socurn better street liglit facilities in thuir neighbor hoods , and the approach of long nights lends additional weight to their argu ments. The state fair entries are fairly boom ing at Iho ollico of Sescrotnry Furnas. Saturday Hitchcock : county entered the race for counly exhibits.

HISTORY OF EARTHQUAKES , A Snmmary of the Record for Thirty-five Hundred Years. RAPID GROWTH IN NUMBER. Tlio Chnrlcstim Sliako tlio Must JU- nstreitiH Itcvoi-eloel lii lite United Stnti-H Ancient anil Modern Upheavals Comimrcel. St Louis Globe Democrat , Sept. 2 : Earthquakes are general both as regards country and time. No parl of the globe , so far as known to man , ami no year is absolutely free from thcso convulsions of nature. Seismologists have found , how ever , that they are most numerous with in two great zones the border 7.0110 around the Pacilic ocean on the Ameri can continent , and the central zone join ing the northern with the southern .hem isphere. [ , In the lirst named /ono is the earthquake area of the Andes in South America , the Pacific coast of Xorth America , with Kamschatka , Japan and New Zealand. The Mississippi valley would probably bo considered as belong ing to that 7,0110. The other earthquake ) area includes Syria , Spain , Italy , Greece , Asia Minor ami North Africa. That portion i mosl subject to earthquakes is Central America , the Antilles and the East Indian Archipelago. Other areas arc known which are not considered as belonging 1 to ciliior of Iho Iwo great x.oucfl named. i Ouo of these has Its center in Iceland 1 , and extends to Scotland and Scandinavia. f Another is in Central Asia. . , . . Mr. lloberl Mnllet. the great Ki-gli.-h seismologist , who has perhaps made the most important contributions yet given to this branch of science , estimates the number of recorded earthquakes up to 1850 as 0,7 ! > 5. Ho divides thorn into live limo groups , the lirsl liguro column giv ing the aggregate number in each period , the second the number which were disastrous , and the third the num ber of years embraced in each period , thus : Total. Disastrous. Year , liecnrdeil before the Chriblliin era 68 4 1,700 Thence to end ot- nliith century l 7 15 900 Thence to end of litteeiith century. KB 41 COO Tlinnco to end of ; htpenlh century 2so.t 100 P ( K nee to isso 3,201 r > ; no 0,705 A glance at this table will show thai the number of earthquakes has , to all ap pearances , vastly increased since the beginning - ginning of the Christian era. Just how much of this increase is duo to the moro careful study and registration ol tlio phenomena in the past century or twc than previously , and to Iho larger area o : the earth included in the rccords.cannpt of coursobc definitely known. The opiu ion is general among scientists , however , that earthquakes are growing in numboi although , perhaps not in severity. ' .Iho average per year in the half century cud ing with 3850 was sixty-four , while the records show that ninety-seven wore noted throughout the world in 1875 , am 104 in 1870. The annual average of the past li'ii years has boon moro ihan ono hundrcel. Professor Ferrey , a celebrated Frcncl expert , believes he has traced a nshuioi between earthquakes and the ago ol the moon. The muni or of thcso phenomena i.s greater at the limo of tlu > syzgies ( when the sun , moon and earth arc in i ilirec-l line of each other ) than al lha of the quadratuurs ( when a line drawr from the sun to the earth and thcnco to the moon would make a right anglii a the earth ) . According lo llus llicory earthquakes arc mon > numerous at the time of new or of full moon than whoi the moon is half full , cither at the close of the lirst quarter or the beginning o the fourth. Now moon occurred on bun day last , only about twenty-four hours after the severe ) shocks in Grcoco am Italy , and the slight ones in North Carolina lina , South Carolina and Georgia , and only-about forty-eight hours before Iho groal earthquake wave of Tuesday night. Professor Porrcy biihcs this tht'ory on a comparison of several thousand obser vations. Pcrroy also believes ho has elotectod a connection between earthquakes and seasons , the number being greatest at the time of the ) equinoxes of March 20 and September 20 , and at the solstices of Juno 21 and December 21. particularly around September 20. Mallet's researches load him to the belief that the largest number occur at about the time of the winter solstice - stico , or December 21. Earthquakes are now fconeniMy bo- liovcd to bo duo to several causes , the principal ones being (1) ( ) the cooling of the interior of the earth and the constant shrinking of its shcll-liko crust , and (2) ( ) volcanic action in tlio area of disturb ance. Connection between volcanoes ami earthquake- ) ; boon traced with a great degrees of accuracy. Thus there nro known to bo aonn of active volcanoes extending through bolts of the earth co incident with the earthquake zones ro- ferroel lo above , ono of winch reaches from the Andes , in South America , north ward through Central America and Mexico ice , along the Sierra Nevada anil Cas cade mountains of the Pacific coast of the United States , to Alaska and the Aleutian islands and thence to Asia , Another vol- icanic.one extenils from from Central America to the Lessor Anlilcs , umlor the Atlantic to the Mediterranean fioa , through Arabia , the Hod tea , the Persian gulf and India. Vesuvius , Etna and the other great volcanoes of central and southern Euroiio belong to this zono. Vesuvius , it will bo remembered , started into operation , after a long period of in activity , just before the earthquake of laslSuturdav in Greece ) and Italy. Seismologists , however , now incline protly gonurally lo Iho boliol thai volca noes and earthquakes do not stand to each other in the relation of canso and ollbeit so much as Ihoy represent difl'oront manifestations of this same uublorranoan forco. The only active volcanoes in the Uuileul States are in the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ! mountains , near the Pacific ocean , and yet thu earthquake of Tues day night , as well as many iircceceling ones , was much moro dcstnie.livo on the Atlantic coast than in the Mississippi v al loy , while thorn is no record of any shock for wouks past on the Pacific slope. Re garding tno ultimata cause of cither earthquakes or volcanoes solenco has de veloped nothing satisfactory to the major ity of seismologists. Spain , Portugal , Italy , Greece and many parts of Asia were ropcalcdly vis- itcel 'by destructive earthquakes in the past , many disastrous ones boinir re corded before the beginning of the Christian era. The most memorable European earthquakes were tbosei which occurred at Antioch , Syria ; Naples nnd Calabria. Italy , and Lisbon , Portugal. That at Antiooh took place in A. I ) . 020 , in which 250,009 persons lost their lives. This was the most elisaslrous of which there is any record. The earthquakes at Naples occurred in 1450 , and 00,000 per- sons wore killed. In 1003 , 00.000 lives wore lost in the earthquake at Caliunbria. The destruction of life at Lisbon in 1755 was also about 00,000. On the American continent , the West Indies , Mexico , and most of the Central American and several of tlio South American states have frequently been visited by disastrous earthquakes. One of the most notable of thcso occur rences was that which partially destroyed the seaport tefijifldf Arica. Pom , in 1803 , and which produced , n se.a wave that swept across the ' Pacific ocean , reaching the Hawr.lian'islands and the Japanese and Australian co.vts , The most notable earthquake which ever occurred in the I'lilted Stales was that which visited New Madrid , Mo. , in 1811. The ground undulated repeatedly for several months , a district BOO mllcH north and south , ami 100 miles cast ami west , being afl'ected. Much damage ) was done to buildings and shipping. Lakes weic formed in several places in the dis trict named , rfiul elrnlncd again , by the successive Uplieavels and subsidences of the earth's -surface. The next most memorable earthquake occurring in the United States was that of November 18. 1775 , in New England. This is supposed titi have had the same origin as that which took place in Lisbon eighteen days be fore. Much property was elestrovod in Boston and oilier places In the elistrict visited. Another series of shocks oc curred in New England on October 111 , 1870. California was visited in 1852 ami 1870. Considerable damage to property was elone in both instances. Lonei Pine 1a and other mining settlements in Nevada were partially destroyed by an earth quake in 1871. Tuesday night's visitation , therefore , was the most destructive ) to property of any earthquake which over occurred in the United States , and was the only ono in i which , practically , there was any loss of life. _ _ _ _ A FORTUNE IN A HORSE. Henry Graves' Ono Iluiielpoit-Deillnr Trotter That AVou Him a Million. Chicago Herald : "Do you see that old man there with the big cano.a slouch hat , and two glassy-looKing eyes the ono who is just now trying to buy an auction pool ? That man made moro money out of a trotting horse than any othor'man over made , and ho did it right he.roin Chicago , loo. How much ? Al most a million. Yes .sir ; pretty nigh a clean million dollars. And ho mailo it all oil ono horse , too. The ohl man's name is Graves Henry Graves. Way back in the forties ho kept a public house out on llio Cottage Grove road. His place was a quiet resort for horse men , and Graves was a horse sharp him self. Ho had as keen an eye forliorsc- lleish 1 mean trotting horses , for like all the old-time horsemen ho wouldn't go across the road lo sao a running horse or it running raceas any man I over know. Ono day he bought a horse right oul of a farm wagon in froul of his tavern , for $100. Ho had sized Her up fora trotter , and ho made no m stake. The mare turned out to bo a trotter of the first water for tlioso days , and with her Graves won .scores of good races. "At that time W. V. Myrick had a nub- lie house not far from Graves' , ami he. was also a trottimr horse man. lie owned Jack Hossiter , a crack llyer , and a great rhalry sprang up between the Uvo jatul- lords as to which had the faster animal. They were not luiig in making up a race , which was won by Lady Jane , Graves' mare. Myrhik wasn'tsatisliod , and Iricd it again , only , to bo beaten the second time,1. But ho wouldn't give up _ . Ilcmaelo another mate ? ; anid lost , and still another ami another , never stopping until ho had lost cloven t straight races. Ami ho wouldn't have stopped then if ho hadn't run out of mojioyito back his horse with. Those were great ; races , I tell you two- mile heats , most of thorn and lots of ex citement ami heavy betting. It scorns to mo wo never have any such races now adays. : ( About Grave's million dollars ? Oh , yes. Though hey backed his marc with a'l ' ho could jrakcj and bcrape , he didn't win a million in money of course. But I'll toll you wjiutjho did ho won fifty- night acres of ) land lying just west of Cottage Grave .avenue , and between what is now Thirty-lirst and Thirty-fifth streets. One story 5 ? that Myrick used to own this land , and that ho bet it against i,000 ; ! with Gravess e > n the clcvonlh ami last race and lost. Graves denies llns , but says that ho had purchased the land on time before ho purchased thn marc , and that the mare earned him the money to pay for il with. How that is I don't know , but it is certain lhat Graves made lh > ! land with thai maro. Ho held to the property until the city hail grown all around him , and a few years ago sold it out , excepting his own home , for a sum ranging between i800OCO and $000,000. "Strnngo as it may seem , Myrick : got rich out of Ihose races , too. 'i ho eleven defeats cost him nearly everything ho had , and he was finally compelled to soil liis horse. The soiling nurse" was $1,800 , and most of this ho invested in land , ami cho rise in the value of the land made him a wealthy man. It was on Ihe silo of Myrick's tavern that John B. Sher man , coming from the Bull's Head , started the lirst Sout Side Chicago stock yards , and on ( { raves' land Camp Doug las was established. Each tract is now covered over with hundreds of handsome dwellings. " It is well known that Iho inhabitants of many oautem nations shield themselves against infectious disorders by wearing Aromatic Gums on the pit of the stomach. Their instincts are right , for strong per- manonl odors are antagonistic to tlio liv ing germs which cnuso discaso. For this reason Allcock's Porous Plasters , being composed of fragrant aromatic gums , arc the best safeguard to wear on the nit of Iho stomach in cholera limo , or in lo calities where sewer gas and malaria are found. They not only prevent infection , but will cure diarrluua , dysentery , ohol- ra and bowel complaints. From the site of the nnchmt city of Snsa Frenchmen have just carted away forty tons of relics fragments of frieze , bron/o coins , and statuettes in bron/e , ivory , terra cotta , ami marble. It is the biggest archaeological haul made for a longtime. At first the expedition en countered miKh opposition from the natives , owing to a report thai the Frenchmen wanted to carry away the body of the prophet Daniel , which is sup posed to buried liv a cave in the neigh borhood , a grcuj object of pilgrimages.

The relics of this good old sys tem linger only along the demociatlc avenues and sli'c ' streets , but in the high- toned and lirst-class places it is all changed , anil the bartender is kept down to the pin of his collar to make the per centage which the proprietor demands. This percentage is something enormous , over 1)00 ) per cent in some of the io'called " " In all the "fancy" or sporting places. hotels the liquor is measured out in the morning , and the bartenders must show returns to a certain amount , or else they will bo invited to put on their best clothes and taKe a vacation without pay or pros- poet of over getting back. Of course you are aware of the general complaint that the very poorest and meanest liquors arc to be found in some of the biggest and most fashionable hotels , and there is mop ) truth than tim- agination in these complaints. What can a bartender do ? He is called upon to return some 200 per cent and more profit , and if ho has a run of customers who take big drinks he would be swamped and driven out on the tramp , if he did not resort to the crotoii or some other means of making up. Or suppose ho wanted to go to a baseball game or the races on his day oil , and he wanted a few dollars to cover his expenses , ho haste to fill up the little hole ho makes in the receipts. Again some of the bars are accessible to the night watchman and his friends , and when they help themselves of course thcv resort to the Crotoii to cover up the tippling and deceive the bartenders. Tlio poor customer suffers for all this. So 3-011 sec the complaints against hotel whisky and brandy are not without grounds. The liquors arc not left under the oartenders to take what they please and return what money they wisn. The head barkeeper comes down in the morning and gets this keys from the clerk , who linds them in the safe , where they have boon locked up all night. He opens the bar , takes stock and sees what will be wanted for the day. Ilo cannot order this verbally , but must write it out and give the order to Iho storekeeper , wholills it out and ftunishos it , all bottled up and ready for use. This written order is held against the head Mrtonder , and when the settling up . iiics if the proceeds do not moot the standard percentage then there is a split and the head bartender will lind his ten ure of office very much weakened. As the money is all la A'on by a cashier there i.s little chance of making a mistake , and as a general thitig the bartender has to depend upon his salary. The percentage is iiOO per cent. Among other hotels it ranges from 200 to 800. Ouo hotel has been discharging bar tenders for not coining up to the required average , and the man who gets out in the cold on that account has little chance of getting a place in any other hotel , as the hotel proprietors have an association and compare notes on these and other points of mutual interest to them. And yet it may not be the bartenders' fault. There inay'bo a run of big drinks , or a customer may accidentally upset a bottle of brandy , and , seeing that it was an ac cident , the bartender does not feel like making him pay for it. Ho must be civil to the customer. There may be glorj and fame in working in a high-toned hotel , but the man who works in a good corner saloon on one of the avenues is much better olT. Ho is not tied down to the percentage. He can treat his friends when ho pleases and lake a nip himself , and in a year or so can have a saloon of his own and take away hit * employer'ri patrons. Hut , light as the hotels are in their profits , the fancy places run away up like the mercury on a hot clay. A barman who works in 'loin uould's has to produce $1J ! for ovury botllo of brandy and i23 for every hnlf-barrol of ' beer. How is that for piolil ? and is it any wonder that keepers of places like Tom Gould's would make a toujrh light lo obtain licenses ! ? In most of thu sum mer places they have a tdllcront system. There the bartenders work on a percent age. They arc served with so much liquor of all kinds , and are expected to make so much out of it , of which they receive n certain percentage. These bar keepers have devised liltlo schemes by which they can do a considerable busi ness of their own. For instance , they quietly buy stull' of their own , and smuggle it into the bar and sell that in stead of the stutr measured out to them by the storekeeper of the hotel. 15y doing this they have the whole ! ! 00 or 400 per cent profit themselves. 13ut they must bo careful in this business , and do it only to a curtain extent , so that they will not bo ( inspected. But if they ur.ly sold a couple of bottles of brandy in thu day it would give thorn $12 or $10 , which is not bad inliard times. If a man finds hlmspjf tied up , hammed in , or curtailed in his rights , ho will find some way of loosening the chains and evading the iron rulers. But now , talking on general principles. A man will really got a better drink of plain whiskey or brandy in a rospi'ctabln avenue saloon than ho will get in a big hotel. Some years ago an expert tc.stitied before a legislative committee that ho found worsu whiskey in a big hotel than ho did in any part of the lourlh ward' Yon see thu hotel proprietors will insist on having 250 or ! ! 00 per cent profit. The bnnendor knows ho will lose his place i ! ho doe ? not produce that , ami the result must necessarily bo poor liquor. In decent avcmuo Miloons this is not the case , and the bartender has no temptation to doctor. Again , the hoteJs for their cus tom depend on men who would not be seen going in an ordinary barroom , am ! therefore they think they have got them in any case , while the avenue saloon haste to depend antiroly on the quality of its goods to carry it through and keep it up uinong the strong and active opposition which is all around it.

The Army of thu Potomac has just passed down the avenue on the inemor- ible day in question , ami General Slier- man rode at its heael , some distance ahead of His stall' . The avenue was black with enthusiastic spectators. A veritable sea ot head * , roaring with oxcitemont. greeted thu veterans as they passed nloiig.
