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.

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

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 ,

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

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.

THE BARTENDING BUSINESS ,
The Hard Lot of New York Bartenders
Golden Opportunities Swept Away.
The New System A Ilartcmlrr Is CJIvcn

Certain Sum ol' Money ,
Joe Howard in Itaston Globe ; All
kinds of busincs methods are changing.
Even the bartending business has under
gone an evolution within the last few
years. The old times , when a bartender
received n salary , which , by the way. was
only nominal , compared with what his
real income was , and could treat his
friends as often as ho pleased , and at the
end of a year or so buyout the proprie
tor or set up an opposition shop on the
opposite corner , have departed never to
return. 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.

San Francisco Alia : An Incident of

hilly to these who were prevent in our
iatioii.il capital at the close of the war , is
elated by an uyo-wilness , and , having
iievor to our knowledge been published ,
s given herewith :
At the close of our bloody inter-Jtale
lllllcuttie' ! ' , as will be remembered , one
- > f the grandest military reviews of mod
ern times took place' in Washington. All
the armies of the federal govern
ment , both regular and volunteer , that
liad served in the Virginia and other con
tiguous campaigns , passed in review
uoiig the world-renowned Pennsylvania
ivenuo before Presielent Johnson and his
abinet , the diplomatic coips and Ml-
iremo justice ? , and many foreign per
sons of rank. This was in May , 1805 ,
only a little more than a month alter the
issassinatlon of Lincoln , ll took the
whole day to review the remaining vet
erans of the war , those who had survived
hc'bullets nnd the fevers of the "Old
Dominion , " and not two days , as has
been generally staled.
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. Each mounted general or stall'
ollieors horse wai ornamented by a wreath
of Mowers around its neck , made by the
fair hands of patriotic ladies. Huh hut
Sherman anil stall' , some distance oil' ,
roele General Howard , with his single
arm. The cheering was so intense that
General Sherman's animal began to
jrow restivo.when the stand was reached
Lhat had been erected in front of the
treasury building , ami lillejl with girls
Iressed in white , bearing baskets
of llowers which they Hung at
the heroes of the victorious
irmy. At this point a handsome young
lady stopped out to present an elegant
bouquet to old Tccumsoli , but his charger
was too restive lo admit of his taking it ,
and the old hero exclaimed to an old sol
dier near , in a sonorous Voicei. lejtul

Lake it , and the latter , putting his reins
into his mouth , placed a bouquet that ho

oH'oriuir ' from the hands of the beauty.
The ro'ur of the multitude at tins aot was
said to have boon as mighty as a cataract.
Cheers rent tlio air for several minutes ,
ami the scene was simply indescribable.
Perhaps olel Tecum or some of the heroes

tending the characters. There is JNlar-
tha , of course , and Linda ; but Linda

give a few ilustrations Verdi's reperto.rv
is singularly sanguinary. In "Ernani"
the tenor dies of poison or stabbing , as
ho sees lit. Elvira following his example.
In "Aida" the leading artists are buried
alive , and in that cheerful "Trovatorc"
Manrico is roasted , Lenora takes prussic
acid and Axu Cena is doomed. In "Tra-
viata" the Marquis do Posa is assassinated
and in "La Forza del Destine , " it re
quires three lives to satisfy Verdi's crav
ing for blood. There is a brutal murder
in "KigolotlOj" and in "Faust" we
have infanticide. Suicldo by in
haling noxious vegetable matter
occurs in "L'Africaino ; " almost every
body is butchered in "Lcs Huguenots , "
and in "Don Giovanni" the baritone ) goes
