[ Special Tele gram to the HIK. : | More or less excitement has prevailed In 1'onca during the past six months o\er the laud purchases maho Imme diately north ot the city , between It and the Missouri rhcr , by parties In Hoston , Hock Island and Sioux City at prices largely In cxccn of the value of the land. What did they want tlic'o lands for ? They are unlit except In a few Instances for aerlctiltural purposes. Was It that coal was discovered iu them ? Some thought this theory altorded a solution ot the matter , for at various times parties have dug for and found coal In the Vicinity coal , too , of such fair quality that many Individuals here made use of It for fuel purposes , declaring It burned well and was as good coal as that for which they pay $7 per ton. Hut some still thought there was an ulterior object and that n railroad bridge waste to be built at this place. Ihe general opin ion seems to have settled upon this conclu sion as the most rational , owing to Ihe natural site for a bridge at this point , the river being narrow , with a rock bottom , some sixty feet under the water , and the banks on either side being high and firm. But the dis covery ot diamonds bero within the last fuw days seems to have unsettled all prior opin ions with regard to the purchasing of the lands by the parties stated. J. S. Koyser has discovered what seems to be n diamond of rare value and brilliancy. It weighs three ounces and a half. Ho took It to Sioux City for examination and theio ho was ollored $40,000 for a fourth interest In the find , Other parties wished him to go with them to Now V ork to diamond experts there for the purpose of determining what the mineral was , diamond or ruby , offering to liquidate his expenses there and back and furnishing money to work up the matter. Whatever It Is , there Is the greatest excitement In 1'onca over It The Falls City Murder. FALLS CmNeb. . , March 2L | Special to the UKK.J There seems to be wild rumors afloat In regard to the killing of Frank Nc- borgall by John Marvin here Saturday last The account of the affair which appeared in the BKB ot yesterday is correct ana direct from an eye witness , who was talking with Marvin when NebcrgaU came down the street and attacked him. Only a few minutes be fore the affair took place Nebergall tried to borrow a revolver from a traveling man at the hotel , and when asked what he wanted with It said he "would kill the whole d d Marvin family. " lie afteiwards went to the store of W. M. Maddox and bought one , then . started out to lind Marvin ( which ho did ) , and as soon as he seen Marvin standing on the walk ho made n lunge for him , strik ing at him the same time. Marvin being a much smaller man than ho was had to pro tect himself the best he could , so no drovr his revolver , which was a self-acting one , and began to club Nebergall over the head , and while In the act of striking him he missed the top of tils head and the weight of the weapon coming down was accidentally discharged , with the above result Marvin was cool at lirat and bald he did not shoot him Intention ally , lie gave himself up to an officer , and Nebergall , who died Instantly , was carried to the Union hotel , where Coroner II. C. Kyau took charge of the body , empanelled a jury and held an Inquest. The Jury returned the following verdict : "Wo. tne jury.sworn and cmpannollfld by M. C. Hyan , coroner of Kichardson county , Ne braska , to hold an Inquest upon the body of Frank Nebeuall now lying dead before us , do find from the evidence before us that the Bald Frank Nobergall came to his death by a pistol shot discharged from a revolver in the hands ot John Marvin , and that the said shooting and killing was purposely and feloniously on the 10th day of March Ib87. " Since the verdict ot the jury has become known considerable feeling is expressed against the last part of the verdict , where they say it was "purposely" and "felon iously , " for according to the testimony of the man who stood only a few foot from Marvin there Is not a shadow of doubt but what he did it accldcntallyiwhilo defending himself. The deceased leaves a wife , who of late was employed at the Union house din ing room. Marvin Is a married man and Las lived here Irom boyhood. Ills brother , O. P. Marvin , of the Beatrice Democrat.

( Special Telegram to the BEE.-Tho Illinois Central railway , which has grabbed land on the lake front valued at $50,000,000 , gained a partial victory in the United States district court to-day. A motion was made by the railroad company before Judge Blodgett to compel the state of Illinois to close up pioofs by May 1. Judge Trumbull for the railroad company argued that the motion ought to bo granted because ot the evident disposition of the complain ants to cause annoyance by delay. Messrs. Jewett and B. F. Ayre also appeared for the defense. Attorney General Hunt , E. B. McCagg , Norman Williams and C. S , liolt , who appeared for the complainant , all de nied that there has been any unnecessary delay on the part of the complainants. What delay there bad been was caused by the railroad company itself. By its agents It had lobbied against the bill of Congress man Adams , which sought to have the United States government made a party to the suit Attorney General Hun tasked Judge Blodgett If the tact of making the order to close proof would necessarily prevent the granting of a preliminary Injunction restraining the Illi nois Central from making any further en croachments , as they are doing now , below Fouitecntb street pending the taking of tes timony in the case. Judge Blodgett replied , "Not . " Then the necessarily so. attorney gen eral asked If the order to close the taking of proof would prevent the United States fiom entering appearance In the case. The court replied that un doubtedly on application by the fed eral Government it would be allowed to come in. Then the attorney general flatly asked the court to grant a restraining order enjoining any further encroachments on the rUhts of the people of Illinois by the railroad corpora tion. The defense objected all around. Judge Blodgett tinally said that such an ap plication could not be hoard without having arguments which would practically enter into the merits of the whole case and thus open It up throughout. "I do not feel , " he said , "that It li my duty just at present to do so. There Is a press ot business on band whlch'iuust be attended to at once. I don't care to take up the matter when It must come to trial so soon , anyhow. The whole case must be heard In June , and In the mean time I thInic no Interests of tlm pcoplo will sutler. " Attorney General Hunt asked if the complainants were not entitled to have their riparian rights respected and begged that matters be carried no further until the case bad been heard and a decision given. Judge Blodgett coldly replied : ' No interests will sutler in such a short time as will elapse between now and June , and what is still more Important , if the courl grant such a restraining order all motive fos the complainants to bring the case to n speedy trial will be lott ana the matter will be allowed to drag along as it has done tot the last thirty ye.irs. Tno motion for a res training order is denied. " At this the at torneys for the railroad company were vis ibly rejoiced. This Is the llrst signal victory for their side. An oioer was also Issued compolllni : the complainants to close prool by May 1 and defend ants by May 15 , A Cable Rnad Enjoined. CUICAQO , March Si , Judge Tuloy , of th ( circuit court , granted a temporary injunction this afternoon against the construction ol the cable railroad In the north division ol the city upon the application of a contesting property owner that the proposed cable svs : tern would Injure his land.

Every man prominent In business or political life who comes here Is at once seized upon as a certain candidate for a place on the board and he Is Interviewed and pumped until ho leaves. W. W. Crape , of Massachusetts , who was here on Saturday , It Is learned to-day positively de clined the proffer of a place. It seems to be the settled conviction of everyone that a Now England man Is to bo present before the president can announce the appointments. The latest to be selected by common consent Is lion. Jobn W. Candlcr , ot Boston , who was a member ot the Forty-seventh congress. Mr. Candlcr only served one term , but during his service he made an exceedingly valuable member of the commerce committee , which committee at that time had charge of the river and harbor bill. He voted for the pabsago of that bill over the veto ot Presi dent Arthur and that veto retired him to pri vate life. It Is said to-night that Mr. Cand- ler ran thavo a place on the board It he will accept , but his friends heie think tlmt ho can not be Induced to do so. With a Massachu setts man decided upon the board will bo practically complete , though It Is said at the white house tlmt only tin PC members have been definitely chosen. It Is understood that HIP nftli man will como from Now York and that the president has several good men in tlmt state from whom to choose , any one whom he knows will accept . PRESIDENTIAL ritOHAnil.lTIKS. Ex-Senator Eaton , of Connecticut , was talking with a reporter to-day about the po litical outlook toward 1883 : "If the repub lican nominating contention wore to meet to-morrow 1 think Mr. Ulaine would cer tainly bo the choice. Not" he added , "that he is their strongest man , The strongest man they could nominate is John Sherman. He would make the best run. But , of all the republicans I think that Mr. Edmunds would make the best president. The admin istration would bo clean. He cannot get the nomination , though. " "It has been suggested that Mr. Blalne would not like to see another republican elected immediately after his defeat" "I know ; but if Blaine is not nominated himself he will name the man , as he did Gar- iiold. and will do all ho can to secure his election. " "Allison. I supnose , " said the reporter. "If so he will bo elected , " was the em phatic reply of the democratic ex-senator. "What Is the outlook for tbo democrats ? " "I don't like to talk about It 1 am a dem ocrat and 1 don't like to think about it , " and ho shook his head suggestively. AX UNOUAItnKI ) TllUASUBV. The press dispatches have announced the fact that the ofllclals of the treasury have given orders that several men who made frequent visits to the vaults should no longer be admitted. These men have boon lineor- init around the department for some time , and It was toarod that their designs upon the wealth which was stored in the collar was not altogether a proper one. The de partment has for some time past allowed visitors into the vaults between the hours of 12 and 2 o'clock each day. The enormous silver store-house Is literally packed full ; there Is not room for oven another bag , and naturally the sight of this vast amount of bullion attracts the cupidity of impecunious visitors. It Is a ( treat many years since an attempt was made to rob the treasury and no ono has ever tried to carry off the coins stored since the Bland law made storage necessary. Beyond twenty-five or tUlrtv watchmen who are employed to watch the building when the clerks are gone there is absolutely no pro tection whatever against robbers , and It is doubtful if any Is needed. It is possible tlmt a uang of thieves might secrete them selves somewhere In the building and per haps they inlulit bo able to break into some of the smaller vaults , but the exposed posi tion of the building would make it an ex ceedingly dangerous undertaking and It is hardly likely that any thief would have the hardihood to attempt it Thn fact that the building is not watched from the outside causes no comment whatever from peoolo who know how things are conducted In this country , but the English visitors to the capi tal always wonder why a squad of soldiers are not detailed to parade in front of the treasury building bv night as is the case in London in the neighborhood of tue Ba nk of England.

Those favoring the motion claimed that it should be adopted as no steps would be taken to secure other rooms until the basements were vacated. The motion prevailed and the committee on buildings and property wan instructed to secure school room for the accommodation of students now attending in the basement rooms. The committee on buildings and and property reported that they had rented a room on South Thirteenth street for one year for the relief of Center street school. Mr. Conoyer's resolution , authorizing the payment of the teachers'pay roll as soon as approved by the committee on claims , so the teachers can draw their pay for March before vacation , was adopted. The members then indulged in a little amusement in an effort to change the name of the Georgia avenue schooC Mr. Blackburn proposed the name of Park school. Mr. Coburn wanted it called Blackburn school ; Mr.Longproposed the name of Mann school , and Mr. Clark that of Garfield. After a good deal of voting and more comment the propositions were all voted down.

"Tho papers , " said young Hart , "have already given all of the facts , " when asked for particulars concerning his shooting of Dr. Randall , the man who had ravished his little cloven-year-old sister at Hastings. When pressed to tell the details of the aflair the young man demurred and was only brought out by the question , "Did you go to the court house with the inten tion of killing Randall ? " To this he quickly replied : "No , sir. 1 had no idea of such a thing two seconds before it was done. " "How did it happen V" "I stood in the crowded court ro era listening to the evidence. When my poor sister , who was too weak to walk , was helped into the witness chair and told the story of the brutal treatment she had received at Randall's hands my blood fairly boiled. She testified that she had been drugged and kept from her boarding house and subjected to the most fearful treatment. Judge Fleming had just fixed the old scoundrel's bail when I felt something slipped into my hand and my fingers closed upon a revolver. Instantly I was seized by an absolutely uncontrollable desire to avenge my sister's wrongs and I raised the pistol , took a hasty but ac curate aim and pulled the trigger. If it had been my own mother against Jwhom I held such a feeling as I had that instant I would have fired just the same. When I daw Randall fall the thought that I had killed a man Hashed through my brain and overcome mo entirely. 1 turned sick at heart. I don't know what became of the revolver. Some ono took hold of my arm and pushed me front the court room. On the stairs two men took mo and led me across the street to Duitz's lumber yard and kept mo there a couple of hours , then they hurried me to a place of con cealment. 1 came to Omaha this morn- inrT" "Where are you coinp now ? " "I don't know. At the suggestion of friends in Hastings 1 have scon an able Omaha attorney and ho advises mo to go back to my homo , relying on the feeling there to protect mo from prosecution. I have some relatives in Iowa and I may go over and see them for a week or two Before I decide what 1 shall do. " The interview was ended suddenly by Hart , who responded to the call of "all aboard" from the conductor of the cast bound Kansas City train. THE WESTERN LEAGUE.

The Live Stock Shippers' Association of Nebraska , which was only recently organized , promises to bo a grand benefit to the shippers and to the general live stock interests of the state. The associa tion Is already at work remedying certain abuses against which the shippers have been forced to struggle for years. Ono of these abuses , which the association is In fair way of putting a stop to , is the practlco of certain commission Ilrms in sending out buyers who compete with the regular buyers and attempt to force them to consigning their shipments to them. It has been denied that this is over done and some commission firms claim that the shippers are misinformed , as was recently published in an Omaha paper. John Wiggins , of Columbus , one of the best known shippers in the state , and the secretary of thu Nebraska Live Stock Shippers' association , bos the fol lowing to say on the subject : The shippers are rightly Informed and there are commission men or their represen tatives in tbo country who solicit consign ments and when not able to eat the stock of fer to buy and do buy as can be proven by Itood witnesses. ' 1 here are casps where such parties have olleied to quit scalping In cer tain territory for a bonus of $100. It Is no secict that shipments have been made from South Omaha to Chicago by commission linns of .stuff that they had bought and that actually belonged to them. The complaints are not all confined to South Omaha as there are other packing points In the state. The shippers as a class have a good opinion of the live stock men and believe them to bo as hon est and tuibtvtorthy as the same number of men engaged in any branch ot business , but possibly they may consider It disreputable for them to be a competitor of a shipper In the country , a seller of bis stair in the stock yards and a buyer of the same stock all at the same time , but the shippers do not pro pose to encourage any such combinations and that v as the Import of a very mild reso lution passed at their meeting. The shippers know lull well what they were talkfne about and borne of the South Omaha commission men know the same facts and have so stated. The shippers pay well for the work done and all thov ask is correct returns for lust what their stock sells for to actual purchas ers , and for commission men to confine them selves to a legitimate commission business , which will win in the end. WoddlnR Bells. Last Thursday evening at 9 o'clock oc curred the marriage of Mr. Isaac Sylvester and Miss Louise Huuicl at the residence of the bride's parents iu North Omaha , bvj , Mark H. Forscutt.

Colonel Henry , army instruc tor of rillo practice , has agreed to do all he can to aid the would-be sharp-shooters. For Glow's Consideration. Mr. Dan Delaney , of Chicago , arrived in the city last evening and brought to the Ben office the following communica- ion to John P.

But my letter was answered promptly telling me to use Athlophoros ; also staling his mother's case and cure which was more severe than mine. I at once purchased a bottle and by the time 1 had finished taking it my rheumatism was gone , but it was a little too soon to stop taking before it was entirely out of my sj stem. I had another light attact but a bottle of Athlophoro done the work and It has been over a yea since. Athlophoros is an excclent medicine and I can recommend it.
