Lincoln citizens mid the e of a wide-
n\vnlc awl progressive turn of mind arc
commencing the work of determining
just what IH wanted in the line of n now
charter for the city , HO that when the leg
islature convenes systematic work In ob
taining the charter can be commenced at
once , and that wilh a right umler."tund-
ing of what the city needs and what the
people o\pert in the matter. It is barely
possible that there are citizens of Lin
coln who may prefer a continuation of
the present limited powers of the city ,
but If there bo many micli they tire keep
ing very silently in the background , and
all tlio discussion that U heard is f avora
lite for a liberal charter for the city ,
tinder which the Ktrools may be paved
nnd public works rommimsiirata with
thu city and its rapid growth bo at once
inaugurated. The question of ti board of
public works lo superintend matters , the
question of tlio limit of bond * to bo la-
filled , ana the manner of raising fumlH
for public improvements , all are to be
understood fully and freely before the
proposed charter is drafted. The city
council has taken stops In the matter al
ready , and has a committee , with Coun
cilman Billingsl.y as chairman ,
to draft a proposed charter and in order
that all clti/.oiiH may meet and discuss all
the features of Ihia proposed charter
fully , freely and intoHigoutly , Messrs. It.
E. Moore , JeromeSharmp , I. M.Raymond
: md J. L. Cnldwell , the memlH'rs-oicct
to the legislature from this city , have
issued a call askinjr all cili/.ens to appear
nnd be heard at the council chamber on
Monday evening upon the questions al

prosecuted as speedily as possible. A
prominent citizen lias expressed a hope
that in the struggle over appropriation
bills the material interests of Lincoln as
a city may nol bo overlooked.

One of the busy transactions at the
present day brought about by tlie election
is the efforts taken by the different rail
roads in the state to secure authentic lists
of the niember.s-olocl in tlio coming ses-
nion of the legislature. Written requests
come to tlio state house for these lists and
sis rapidly as the companies secure them
it is easy to judge how long it will take to
supply all tlio members with passes and
have thai parl of tlie session work on llio
part of Ihe corporations completed before -
fore Ihe grand assembling on IheIth of
January.

Chicago Tribune : In IS f ! Jacob D.
Crouch was living in the township of
Spring Arbor , about seven miles from the
city of Jackson , Michigan. Although ho
was sovonty-fonr years old and had
always been a hard worker , Crouch was
still a halo and hearty man , clear-sighted
in business all'alrs , strong in his likes and
dislikes , and not at all disposed to release
in the slightest degree his lirm grip on
the half million dollars that hi- had
gathered together. lie hud come to
Michigan from Orange county , New
Vork , In l&M , ami about ten years later
had Hottled down on Spring Arbor farm.
Ho was noted for his shrewd bargains in
horses and cattle , and through his agents
carried on business as a drover.
In 1810 Jacob Crouch's wife had died ,
after having bornu him four children.
Tim domestic life of the Crouches was
anything but happy. The father's gt-pcil
for money and his stern and unhanding
nature found its natural outcome in an
niiruly family. In IS5Sthe oldest daughter
eloped with a penniless young fellow
named Daniel S. Holcomb , and in the
course of time was reluctantly forgiven.
Thu llolcombs linully canto to live near
the old homestead nud bydlntof repeated
bogging Mrs. Iloleomb was able to get
enough money from her father to tide the
family over the rough places until n
moderate prosperity settled down upon
tliiun.
Eunice , the second daughter , was her
mother's favorite child. She alone of all
the family seemed able to reach her
father's heart. Left motherless at the
ago of six years , she grew up to bo her
father's main dependence , and when , in
183(1 ( , she nbkod the paternal consent to
her marriage with Henry White , a
promising young merchant of Jackson ,
she readily obtained the desired per
mission. At the time of her umrrnge
she was about thirty years old. The
match , however , was bitterly opposed by
her two brothers and by the llolcombs.
Whether or not their opposition wns due
to Ihe fact that they viewed with dismav
the prospect of other heirs to the Crouch
thousands can be surmised but no
known.
There were throe Crouch boys. Of
these Byron and Dayton became ilroyors
in Texas. Dayton never married , and
when he died his estate was worth 01)- )
COO. Byron bought out his father's inter
est in the Texas estate , giving noets tote
to the extent of ? 3,000. ( ) He continued to
live in Texas. Judd Crouch was the
youngest of the family , llo came into
the world a puny and crippled infant ,
nnd his mother died in giving him birth.
The loss of his wife acted on the old man
to make him hate the mi hapen boy
whose coining had caused her death : and
because the lather could not endure the
sight of his latest child , as well as be
cause there was no other convenient way
of caring for the baby , Jndd was turned
over to liis sister Holcomb to be brought
up.
up.Jndd grew up to bo astrong.self-willcd
young mail , utterly regardless of others
or their opinion of him , and wilh a mas
terful way about him that made people
chary of crossing his path. Kuuice and
her hnsband lived with the old man , and
lie was accustomed to lean on them in
his business u Hairs and to find his only
pleasure in having them about him.
The prospective advent of a grandchild
was Known to have given him pleasure- .
Meanwhile the llolcombs , despairing of
finding favor with the elder Crouch had
brought in a bill for $11,000 for taking
care of Judd. This the old man absolutely
refused to pay ,
Such was the situation of n flairs in
November , 1833.
The night of November 21 the Crouch
household was made up of Mr. Crouch ,
Mr. and Mrs. White , Moses Policy , a
Pennsylvania cattle dealer , who was
about closing a bargain with Crouch ; a
negro boy mimed John Belles , and Julia
Keeso , a domestic. The night was dark
ami stormy , with frequent thunder and
lightning. The house , a large , two-
story farm house , stood well back from
tlio road. Early in the evening the house
hold sought their rooms Even had it
not been a whim of the old man never to
lock door or windowho , would have bncn
justified in forcgoiugbiich precautions on
a night like that.
Some time during the night the colored
boy Bollo.4 heard shots fired below , and
groans following the shots. In his terror
no squeezed himself into an old trunk ,
where he anxiously waited for morning.
He heard some one open the stairs door ,
listen for a moment and then go away.
The domestic. Julia Kccso , who occupied
an out-of-the-way room on the first lloor ,
slept through until morning. At day
light as was his custom , Belles went
down tp call Mr. Crouch. On approach
ing his master's room he was horrified to
see him lying on his bed with a gunshot
wound in the back of his neck. In the
front bedroom Mr. nnd Mrs. While lay
dead wilh pistol-holits in their heads an'd
wounds in other parts of their bodies ,
Pollojtoo. , . was found shot in the neck ,
as Crouch had been , and there were also
wounds in his body. The work had been
done so surely and so quickly that there
had been no struggle.
Hushing from the house Belles gave
the alarm to the neighbors , who hasten
ed to the scene. On examination it was
found that although Policy had several
thousand dollars in his pockets , it was
undisturbed ; nor was any of the house
money taken. Nothing had disappeared
Kayo a bundle of notes , mortgages , and
private papers. The inquest was long
and tedious , Thu quadruple murder had
created such a great commotion that per
sons Hocked from all quarters to take a
hand in discovering the perpetrators ;
but in the * multitude of counselors tliero
was everything but wisdom. Two facts
of importance were brought out at tlio
Imiucst. Underneath the parlor window
was the plain imprint of a rubber bootso
plain , indeed , as to suggest that it was
the track of one who had stood there to
watch. Again , a Jaek.-on merchant swore
positively that ho had sold to Dan Hol
comb a revolver of thu same calibre as
the wuapon from which the bullets were
lircd that killed the Whites This tcsti-
Deny was explicitly contradicted by
man himself.
Meanwhile , Captain Byron Crouch.who
was on his way home at the time of the
murder , appeared on the scone and gave
the Pinkerlon agency full authority to do
everything in their power to discover the
murderers , at Byron's expense. Nothing
in the way of direct evidence was fouiicr
So much for the orignal murders. But
the half has not been told. The loss of
her father and sister so wrought upon
Mrs. llolcouih's nerves that thu day thu
murders wore discovered she was imme
diately taken ill and never afterwards
loft her house Shu died February 3 ,
1881 , and with her death a now chapter
begins , from the first suspicion Had
been directed toward Dan Holcomb ,
Judd Crouch , and HolcombV hired man ,
young James Foy. 1'oy is said to have a
pair of rubber boots that lilted the track
ouuiilc ilia parlor window. Ho left Hal-
comb's house to go north , and at I'liion
City took such otl'unse at an nrtielo in
cmo of the newspapers of that place that
IIP shot nnd wounded severely F.lnicr
Shuli-s , whom he m.Mook for the of
fending editor. Upturning to Holeomb's
ho laid himn-lf down on n sofa , where ho
was found dead an hour later with a pistol
tel in bis hand. The doctors paid that
the character of the wound precluded the
possibility of suicide , and the verdict ac
cepted the doctor's reasonings but noth
ing cl o substantiated the theory of mur
der. The Fey pistol was of the same
calibre as that with which the V\ bites
were killed.
Two day.s nfter l-'oy's death. Brnwn ,
n detective working on the case , received
notice to quit in the shape of n bullet
wound in the tlitgh. The shot wa * lired
by one ot Iwo men who drove past him as
ho was walking in a lonely place , then
turned and asked his name , uud , on learn
ing it , fired. Brown could not recognize
their faces. Judd Crom-h and Hugh
McCallum were arrested for the shooting ,
but were discharged. March 129 Lnron/.a
D. Bean , a neighboring farmer , went
orn/y over the tragedies und died in con
vulsions ; nnd two weeks after A. 11. Lee
fancied him. ° clf the murderer and took
bis own life. In all , eight lives hnd been
sacrificed by that November night's work ;
and here the list of deaths slopped for a
period.
The story of the various arrests and the
many clews that < vero run down In vain
i.s too long to loll hero. March 1 , 18NI ,
Dan Holpoiub and Judd ( Vouch were ar
rested , charged with the original nut filers.
Alter spending some time in jail they
were released on b.iil , fixed at $20,000.
The trial began in November , and the
prosecution attempted to show shat the
murderers were Dan , Judd and Fey ; that
the object of the murder was not money
but private papers ; thai llolcomb was in
need of monev , that Fey was dissipated
and capable of any crime , and that Judd
Crouch hired detectives to throw the oil !
cers off tin * track. The ease was directed
agnlnsl Dan , and alter dragging along
until January 10 , IWi. he was acquitted
This caused the postponement of Judd's
case.
October 27 last Jennie Furley , a ser
vant in the Hurd house at Jackson , died
from tlir cll'eeN ot morphine poisoning.
She was with child , and for more than a
year had been intimate with Judd
Crouch. The evidence at the inque.st
.showed that at the time of her death she
was about ready to go lo Detroit to a re
treat. Judd admitted the intimacy , but
did not know whether or not he was the
father of the child. It is not yet known
whether the girl knew she. was taking tlio
deadly dose. There is some proof that
she did not intend to kill herself. HIT'S
is the ninth tragedy in which Judd
Crouch is concerned. New clnws as to
the original murders are coming to the
.surface coiii-tantly , and some fresh fuels
which will be brought out on Judd's
trial , which is sot for this term of court ,
will create a profound sensation.

said the barkeeper as lie set the cocktail
on the mahogany and put fifteen cents in

A r.nllet nnU a Million.
Now Y'ork Journal : George W.Her-
soy , who was u guest at thol'urK Avenue
hotel , where ho shot himself in the side
about live weeks ago , was able to leave
Bellcvue hospital aiul appear at Jefferson
Market police court yesterday to answer
u charge of attempted suicide preferred
by Delectivo Price , of the West Thir
teenth street station.
Some years ago he was a very wealth }
dry goods merchant in this city , but met
with reverses. This it was alleged , caused
him to become despondent , and when he
was found in his room al the Park AVII-
nuc hotel bleeding from a shot wound ,
with the weapon in his hand , tlie police
at once declared it a case of attempted
suicide.
He denied the accusation in court yes
terday , saying that his gun wes accident
ally discharged while he was cleaning it ,
and as there was no evidence to show
that ho had attempted suicide , ho was
discharged.
When llnreny went inlo the hospital ho
was , as already stilted , a poor man. lie
came out , however , a rich man , for dur
ing his sojourn there an aunt died leav
ing him a snug fortune estimated at a
million dollars.
The husband of a once popular Parisian
actress summoned the slago leivcr before
the proper tribunal for having kissml his
wife to a most alarming and unwarrant
able extent. The defendaul pleaded in
justification the consent of the lady. This
'
was dlsprovcn , and , with all t'ho an-
daelly of a loycr , stage or otherwise , ho
expressed his willingness to settle tlio
matter by returning the ki. os. But this
oiler was rejected with indignation by
the husband.
In the majority of cases the stage kiss
is a mere makeshift. Aelrcssus have their
likes and dislikes , and the instances arc
many where actresses have requested
men playing opposite * to them not to
absolutely carry out the required busl
ness of the scene , by imprinting a kiss in
reality , where it is called for , but by sim
ulating it.
