The HKB Is nropurutl to solve n , branch
of the Hallway , Now Jcrsuy , nuirtlor
mystery , which has on account of cor-
lain strange pliasns , excited much com
ment of late. It is that branch in
which L. C. Watson the young land
scape painter nnd his four weeks' bride
ligure so unpleasantly.
The case , or this particular branch
of it , possesses unusual interest because
It was telegraphed all over the country
that Airs. Watson had left Chicago , sud
denly and mysteriously , and had come
I to Omaha , wlioni she was at present in
hiding. This is partially , and not
wholly , true.
TIM : CIIIMI : .
In connection it may not be uninterest
ing to give a brief review ot the crime ,
nnd the subsequent disappearance of the
Watsons ; which have , by a .singular chain
of coincidents , been linked together.
One dny last week the dead body of a
girl , who had evidently been murdered
by SOUK ; unknown hand , was found by
the .side of a road leading into Ilahway ,
N. J. There was not the slightest clue
which would indicate the perpetrators or
motive of the crime. Kver since that time
the ollicers of New .Jersey have been
searching high and low for some key to
the mystery which as yet remains un
solved. The body of the dead girl has
not yet been identilied in a satisfactory
manner.
Just about this time the mysterious
murder of the young woman was con
nected by a coincidence in dates with
the newly married bride of L. C Wat
son , a young landscape painter of Chi
cago. She loft Chicago on the 21th ,
wont no one knew whither , and disap
peared as completely as though the
EAKTH HAD SWAU.OWT.l ) HEIt UP.
Her husband had preceded her east , an d
as ho was seen hanging about the scene
of the Railway murder , evidently labor
ing under suppressed excitement , it was
suspected that the murdered woman was
his wife and that he perhaps was guilty
of the crime. Hut ot this nothing was
proven.
The story of Watson's marriage was
at once romantic and peculiar. The girl
Lillian Suavely was a pupil in a Chicago
art studio , and it was there that Watson
mot her. It was a case of
I.OVB AT KliMl'SmUT.
After a courtship of three weeks the
couple wore married , being aided by a
Bister and cousin of the bride. Tito match
was against the wishes of the bride's
parents , who resided in Sterling , 111.
After the marriage , which took place at
Sterling , the young couple came to Chicago
cage , where they stopped at the residence
of a Airs. Duncan , a fricud of the bride.
A few days .after . that Mr. Wat&on went
cast on some pressing private business.
On March 31 ho had not returned , and on
that day his young bride disappeared
also. The circumstances which led to the
suspicion that Mrs. Watson was the mur
dered girl of Kali way , N. J. , have
been mentioned above. The opinion
prevailed not only in the cast , but tea
a certain extent in Chicago ahd particu
larly at Sterling , 111. , the former homo of
the murdered girl. A picture of the Rail
way victim which was received in Ster
ling was found to bo almost an exact fac
simile of one taKcn ot Lillian Suavely a
few months ago. So great was the ex
citement in Sterling that many threats
Against Watson nro constantly made and
it Is likely ho would get a warm recep
tion if ho wore to stop a foot within the
town. The girl was a great favorite , and
it is the general belief among those who
know her that there was foul play in her
disappearance. To make the case against
THK SUSI'KCTED HUSBAND
Stronger it was found that Miss Suavely ,
when site left Sterling , had taken witlt
her a dark green cashmere dress nnd a
black silk sacquo with a fur collar , such
u that found on the person of the mur
dered eirl.ON
ON THE AVUONO SCENT.
Despite tiio fact that circumstantial
evidence is against Watson and point to
him as the murderer of his wife , the UEE
is abto to present positive proof of
the contrary. A reporter of this paper
who has made n thorough investigation
of the Omaha end of the case , lias dis
covered that Mrs. Watson did como
to this city as was intimated in a tele
gram from Chicago , though she has since
left.
left.On
On March 25 , ono day after the disap
pearance of Mrs. Watson trom Chicago ,
a young couple arrived in Omaha from
the east. They were driven in a closed
carriage to the Colons hotel , where they
registered under tlio name of L.
D. Davidson and wife , without giv-
me the name of the place from
which they had come. They were as
signed to room 53 , and afterward to
another apartment. They were rarely
seen in the dining room but had their
meals taken to them to their room , as a
gonarul tiling. The girl was neatly
dro.xsod , and of rather prepossessing ap
pearance. Sue was about 20 years ol
nge. The man Davidson who registered
JVR her husband was an Englishman ap
parently , of light complexion nnd with
a sandy moustache. The couple had ,
When they arrive.il at the hotel , $900 in
cash which was kept in the safe during
tlioir stay. This was just $100 less than
the amount in the possession of Mrs ,
Watson when she left Chicago on March
Sitli.
Sitli.Tho
The man Davidson was
MOOItY AN1 > ItliTlCKNT ,
and itlil not volunteer any explanatlor
of his visit to Omaha. The girl , however
over , was more communicative. To twc
of the ladles about the hotel she volunteered
toored the information that her maider
! uamo was Lillian bnavoly ; that her folk :
. rcsldetl in Sterling , 1H . , and that t.h <
' had contracted a runaway match iifjalns
, the wishes of her relatives. This state
'incut was made several days before tin
, dlnappoaranuo of Mrs. Watson frou
Chicago was aired in the press. , and before
fore that disappearance was linked wit )
the murder nt Railway. So Hint tin
girl could not have been seeking foi
notoriety when sha. made the statomcn
: to the ladies at the Co//.onfl.
Several clrcuuistnncus led the at
of th hotel to suspec
that Davidson was traveling under
a fnKo name. Ho noted very
strangely , as though ho were continu-
allv afraid that some disaster was about
to happen to him. Ho gave an order to
the desk that if any telegrams were re-
ci-lved at the hotel for him. they should
under no circumstances be sent to his .
room , but should bo held for him until
lie called for them. He g : vo s a reason '
for ( he reijUL'St that he might receive
some telegrams which ho wouldn't care
to open in the presence of the girl. On
the 2th Davidson was
JOINED 11V A YOt'.Xfl MAN
apparently twenty-seven years of age ,
who registered under the name of M. 11.
Dull , lie was very Intimate with Mr. \
and Mrs. David-on and seem to be cog- i
ni/ant of all the plans airl purposes of
the former. On the night of the
Mill , the trio suddenly paid their hotel i
bills and were hurriedly drawn to the
depot , where they took the Union I'acilio
overland tram for the west. Doforu they
left the girl had conllded to the ladies nt
the hotel that they wore going to Denver
and from thence to I'oitland , Oregon.
"Vos.'jir , " said Manager Joe Needlmm ,
of the C'o//.ens , in speaking of the case ,
"there is no doubt but
THAT mm , WAS I.II.I.MN WATSON ,
whoever the two fellows with her may
have been. 'I lie fact that she arrived in
Omaha the day after Mrs. Watson ii re
ported to have left Chicago , that she had
f 1,100 when she arrived , which is about
the amount that Mrt. Watson had in cash
when she was married , and above all the
fact that .sho came from Sterling ,
III. , that her name was Lillian
Suavely , and that she had contracted a
runaway match against the wishes ot her.
relatives , all piovo conclusively that the'
girl who came hero on March 25 as the
wife of Davitl.-on was none other than
Mrs , Watson , the missing bride of Chi
cago. "
As to the identity of the two men with
Mrs Watson when she came to Omaha
nothing definite ean bo ascertained. It i
hardly possible that one of them was
Watson himself. It is more probable
that Mrs. Watson had during iier bus-
baud's absence in the east , heard the
stories about ins being a bigamist and
A MAN"OP UAU CHAUACrEK
and had determined to leave him. Fol
lowing out this theory which lias been
hinted at by the papers of Chicago , it is
probable that Daviitson and Hell , the two
men who registered at the Co//.ens , wore
cither relatives or friends of Lillian
Suavely Watson , who were aiding the
girl to escape from a husband whom she
believed to be a worthless ad venturer and
a bigamist.
CNGlNUISHmilKINlilNlS'S OPINION
Ofllcc Council Illuffe City Waterworks
Ctunpnny.
Editor Omaha Ike : No article has ap
peared in your paper lately which is
more important to the present and pros
pective manufacturing interests of Oma
ha and vicinity than the article 1 notice
in your issue of the 4th instant under the
heading of "Slack vs Lump Coal. " All
that has been said in the above named
article is true nnd has been demonstrated
in the works under my charge. 1'roitcr
combustion ii ? all that is necessary to
burn slack coal and it can bo had by
careful construction or alteration of any
plant.
Wo arc now getting tlio same results
from consuming a pound of slack coal
under our boiler as wo did with a pound
of lump coal thus making a saving of Mi
per cent in the cost of coal. Our lire-
men find it pleasanter work to burn
slack than any other kind of coal.
( Jood strong draft , ample water tight
ash pit , properly proportioned furnaces ,
ami last but not least , properly designed
grates are all that is necessary.
Our plant consists of four 80-horso
boilers ; a stack 90 feet high witli a18
inch Hue. Wo use a Having furnace fitted
with what is known as the Dorranco
rocker grates. Some people may say no
such results have been made in Chicago.
For the information of such wo will state
that neither Illinois nor Indiana produce
slack of ns good quality as the Iowa
ines ; therefore the difl'orcnco in results.
There is uo reason why Omaha anil
ncinijy can not purchase iron , suitably
iiixcd for foundry work of all characters
as cheaply as Chicago. If this section
of country can produce power as cheap ,
or cheaper than Chicago , and castings
can bo made as cheaply here as east of
the Mississippi river , then why are wo
not looking for a big manufacturing
boom. Surely our light will not bo hid
mdcr a bushel long.

Tlirco-qiinrtrrn of Million to le Ex-
pemled at Florence.
Mr. S. L. Wiley , secretary and treas
urer of the waterworks company of
Omaha , stated jpsterilajmorning | that the
company had decided upon commencing
work at Florence at ouco upon foity
settling basiins which will constitute the
foundation for the establishment of an entirely -
tirely now plant for the city. A petition
was presented to the council last
evening asking for the condemnation and
appraisement of fifty to seventy-live acres
which the company desires to u c. The
fortv settling bas-ins will have a capacity
-10,000,000 gallons. With such an area
of reservoirs the water , when it liually is
forced through its pipes to the "city
will bo clear as crystal and the day
of gags on buying the nniucoiis
lluid in chunks will be past. New Dump
ing works will also of a necessity bo i-r-
ected , and tiio whole plant put in perfect
condition before any water will bo sup
plied from that source. It is estimated
that fully throe quarters of a million dollars
lars will be expended in the works. The
company will oiler stock at par , and
placed upon the market to-day , as will
bo .scon bv an advertisement in the llii : : ,
.fSO.OOO at par , in shares of $100.
It is expected th.it a year and a half
wilt bo reauired in the construction of
the new plant. It will then bo as nearly
a perfect system of waterworks as can be
devised.
The conipnny arc now constructing
two additional reservoirs at their present
location. They are to supply 0,500,000 ,
gallo.is daily. i i
Throe of n Kind.
With passenger trains on the Holt line ,
a street car line out Fiirnain , and the
cable line on Dodge .street , all of which
run through Hriirsrs Place , this beautiful
addition will have the best facilities for
reaching tlio city of any inside property.
The advantages of a lot in Briggs Place
arc so _ apparent that it has needed no ad
vertising to soil. It is traversed by .siof
the principal streets of the city Harnoy ,
Farnam , Douglas , Dodge , Capitol avenue
and Davenport , and tlio greatest part of
it lies inside of tlio Kelt lino. There are
good lots left at $1,000 and $2,000. on
very easy terms. No contracts will bo
given , but a warranty deed noes with

Stray Loaves From a Ituportor's Note
Hook.
"Omaha's second hand stores claim
that business is very quiet with them. I
refer particularly to the furnit'iro de
partment" said a New York drummer
yesterday. "I have travelled a good
deal among the booming cities of the
West and I think Omaha stands alone in
this regard. It is true there arc a couple
of stores run on the installment plan but
they sell new goods and are kept busy.
Hut the second hand furniture dealers
do not carry as largo a stock as men in
the business do in other cities of this sue.
The fact scorns to bo there are not as
many people parting with their furni
ture. "
"I remember for instance five years
ago when Denver was booming , and
second-hand furniture storei did a thriv
ing business So many pastern people
were attracted from the east by the stories
of the fortunes that were being made in
the west , and packing up their furniture
anil other moveables started out for
Tike's Peak or bust. ' Hut few struck
it rich. The result was that in numerous
instances tlio furniture had to be sold to
raise money to gut back east , and the
second-hand dealers had largo empor
iums filled with the linest furniture. "
"I think it is a favorable sign to see a
city where its inhabitants are not forced
to sell their household goods to obtain
means of existence. True , some fashion
able people dispose of their parlor sets
and other furniture to supply themselves
with the latest designs , but they are the
exception. It is. only when the exigen
cies of hfo compel people to part with
their furniture , which has become fa
miliar and dear to them as household
gods , surrounded with some pleasant
memory , that evidences of hard times
are observable. "

READY.
This is our first spring season in Omaha , we are now ready to show
not only an entire new stock of Spriner Clothing for men , boys and
children , but also that we are selling our entire line for less money
than any house in the United States.
Our large assortment of Spring Overcoats surpasses anything ever
exhibited in Omaha. We call special attention to our $5.75 and $7.75
line. The latter is trimmed with silk facings and satin sleevelininggj
The prices of these will surely surprise everybody. The better grades
which do not exceed $15.75 in price are as good as you get at the cus
tom tailors and for which you would have to pay at least $35.
Our offerings.in Spring Suitings , of which we have an enormous as *
sortment , will give us a wide reputation , for we have marked them td
sell 25 per cent less than any house in the city , and particularly to
our strictly All Wool Men's Suits at $5.75 , we challenge any house
in the country to compete with us in price.
Commencing to-day and continuing the coming week we will offQy
200 Pleated Suits for Children from 4 to 13 years for $2.95. Also 400
Children's Knee Pants at the nominal price of 25c per pair.
We mean to give you all the details regarding the clothing we sell
Those ivho traded with us last fall Jtarelong sitice become couvniccd
