Hurnotlilnic About the lilncoln Insur- anoo Company Tlie New Motor JLitio Presentation to tiatnbort * nun Capital NCWH. f KItOJI THK BRE'S LINCOLN At the close of the municipal year for the city of Lincoln Mr. C. C. Burr , the retiring mayor , submitted , through his message , a detailed statement of the work of the past two years , the cash re ceipt1) and expenditures , the bonded in debtedness of the city , improvements made and work accomplished that is an excellent refutation of thoclamor of re formers that it has pleased themselves to make thu past two months ana upon which they buildod successfully a false issue , to turn the administration of city affairs to the hands of the democracy. The bonded Indebtedness of the city Is 1117,500 at the present time and the floating - . ing indebtedness $10,591. In the past two years the city has received through taxation $112,598 , while the two years im-codlntf this the city received $11-1,018 , changes in the revenue laws making tha ' decrease in receipts the past two years. The showing of the retiring mayor , how ever , exhibits that with the decreased re ceipts in the two years just closed that the city has expended $23,033 more in public improvements than the former ad ministration , and it must bo evident at a glance , if the now administration does better , it will Imvo no easy road to travel. Mr. Burr , in his message , took occasion to refer to the police department and re fute many charges of incompctency that have boon set upagainstthatdepartment. In the past two years the mayor showed that the sum of $7,430 had been paid over by the police department in lines and the monthly report of Judge Parsons fox March showed over.400 paid during ttuit time , The mayor , on the subject of pav ing , took a stand decidedly in favor of cedar blocks for paving street intersec tions , holding that , in his opinion , this material was the cheapest and best for the city to adopt. The mayor also advo cated the policy before pavintr is laid , of nil telegraph , telephone and electric light poles removed from the streets and the companies be required to carry thorn under ground , and tno further sugges tion was made that iu vlow of valuable franchises given gits and telephone com panies they should bo made to furnish eas nnd telephones free to all city buildings nnd offices. As a number of the council hold over , it is very probable that many of those suggestions will be acted upon. THE LINCOLN 1NSUKANCK COMPANV. It has been talked among insurance men since the published annual report of the Lincoln Insurance company has been made that the showing of business done by this company outside the state is very largo for any company to transact that lives up to the requirements of the laws hi other states , in many instances where the same is much more rigorous than in Nebraska. In a recent issue of the Chicago cage Investigator , a publication devoted to insurance matters , the following item appeared of interest to the general pub lic : "In the circuit court at St. Louis an attachment has been filed by the St. Louis Cooperage company against the Lincoln Insurance company , of Lincoln , Nob. , to recover $1,000. The Lincoln company was organized about a year ago. is some thing of a wild cat , and it will bo well for our readers to keep an eye on it. " Following in the wake of this the BEB representative consulted the insurance force at the auditor's olllco to see if com plaints had reached them , and the ofll- oials there have received numerous letters from different parties in differ ent states asking after tlio Lincoln insurance company and their manner of doing business. The Lincoln Insurance company , under Its papers complying with _ the state law in Nebraska , shows that It has a paid-up capital of $50,000. In New Hampshire , one of the states in which it is understood they are transact ing business , the lawf require that all companies shall have a capital of $200- 000 , aud hence it is evident that from such sources comes the kick against this company. If the facts are as understood it will hurt the reputation of Nebraska before the end is reached. THE NEW MOTOH LINK. Yesterday forenoon a business meeting was held of the new motor railway line , and the following officers wuro elected : . John Fitzgerald , president ; J. U. Web ster , secretary ; and Patrick Kazan , D. W.Mosloy , S. McClay. L. O. M. Baldwin - win , James U. White , board of directors. The capital slock ot the company is 150,000 , and 10 per cout of it was paid in nt the meeting yesterday. The directors nro Instructed to proceed with the sur vey of the line at once , which will go via North Fourteenth street to the stale fairgrounds and from thence to West Lincoln , grounds thor directions will bo taken up without delay and the directors slate will be built at onco. In conversation with Hon. Patrick Eagnn , one of the directors of the company , lie stated that material would be on the ground to commence laying track early in May and that the work would bo prosecuted with much vigor. The parties who put in the motor are un derstood to be in the city at the present time and it nil has a decidedly business look for the very near future. A PAIIKWEI.L TO LAMBKrtTSON A number of the member * of the United States court at Lincoln mot Mon day night with Judge E. S. Dundy at his room iu the government building , nud presented Hon. U. M. Lambcrtson with tin elegant silver service , composed of a very finely engraved ice oooler and goblet - let * . The articles are very ingeniously contrived so that the lower portion of tlio service can bo used as a cake basket , and the cooler as a coffee Ecrvice. The following inscription appears ou the ice cooler : "Presented to Hon. ( i. M. Lambortson , late United States district attorney for the district of Nebraska. " There wuro present at the presentation Judge E. S. Dundy , L. O. Bjirr. E. M. Uartlett , Goo. E. Pritchott , Elmer Frank , Ed Allen and E. S. Uundv , jr. The evening was spent in social chat and anecdotes of the early history of Nebraska. Mr. Lambortson expresses great joy at the happy parting with his co-laborers of the United States couit in an official cauacity. iT THK STATE HOUSE. The board of educational , lands and funds were iu session yesterday passing upon the appraisements of school lands in Cherry , Box Hutto , Dawoa nnd Chase counties. Thu school land remaining in Madison county was also up for notion , and tlm Fulton tract in Otoo county. The nverngo appraisal in Cherry county Is nbout $1.U ! per aero , in Dimes county about. $3. in Chase county about $3.50 ivntl in Box Butte about J3.25. These lands will bo advertised for Dub lin sitlo by thu commissioner , nnd the sales held by him probably along in the latter part of May.

There has been in the last two days hreo different women at the county udgo's oflico asking legal advice and all looking divorces and wanting to know ho law. One of these women has a Inn- ) ind in the penitentiary for life , nnd she icard that ho was liable to get out , no she wanted a divorce before he regained his Iberty. Another was tlm case of a girl who was married when she was fourteen , ler parents both testifying that she was seventeen. The girl Is eighteen newt has , wo children and wants a divorce. FAMILY TltOUULK. An Interesting case was on the docket ! or hearing yesterday In the county court. The case wns Jacob II. Bonish vs. R. S. tMumcnthal. The latter is the father-In- aw ot the former and the two have only seen related for two or three weeks , yet , var is declared and the petition of [ ioniish sets forth that Mr. Bltimenthal entered his castle by day and abstracted therefrom n carpet valued nt $2.i , a diamond mend ring worth $175 and a gold chain worth $115. The case gives promise of jroat interest. PERSONAL. Judge Chapman wns in the city yester day , coming from Nebraska City , where 10 has been engaged in the trial of Hoff- nan , the car wrecker , who was sen tenced to hang. At 8 o'clock yesterday Judge Chapman sontenccfi Bell , Hoff man's partner , to ten years in the pen ind the judge and the prisoner came to Lincoln on the same train. D. G. Courtnay departed yesterday for Chicago , whore ho will bo absent for a couple of weeks , taking depositions in n suit at law in which ho appears as one of the attorneys.

Missouri Hopublicam "If I owned all ho hens in this country , " said the mar- cctman , as ho counted out a dozen egg. ) tud put them in a customer's basket. 'and a place to pasture them , I would ask just ten years in business and I'd be a boss millionaire ? " "How's ' that ? " "How's that ? Maybe you don't know , young man , that over 20,000,000 cackles each day , announcing the birth of the lame number of eggs , kept the farmer ) oys busy last year gathering in the of- brts of 30,000,000 hens. But they did. rVcll , these efforts for 305 days resulted n 0,000,000,000 separate and distinct eggs , or 800,000.000 doicn as near as I can cal culate. Now , it took just 750.000,000 dozen of those eggs to supply the demand 'or ' Tom and Jerries , puddings , hard and soft boiled eggs , egg-nog and ham and eggs nt that. I figure that 30 cents a dozen , for 1833 , WAS about the average irico. Thirty cents a dozen for 720,000,000 dozen climbs to the comforta ble little purse of $220,000,000. There's nothing mean about me. and if I had the handling of those offerings of the intion's hen I'd bo satisfied with a prolit of 2 cents.on a dozen. r * | Last your must have been a good one For people visiting in the country , for folks broiledfricasseed and roasted some thing like 000,103,000 chickens , young ind old. That used up the little balance of 50,000,000 eggs. That 50,00,000 dozen were turned into chickens that gobblud up $300,000,000 of the hard-earned coin of tills realm , ciphering the thing down close , at GO cents a chicken. I don't deal in poultry , but from the si/.o of the diamond pins of the ones that do , I don't liositate a minute to say there can't bo less than 0 cents profit on every chicken they sell. Last year Now York took 25,000,000 dozen of eggs to satisfy , her , and she paid $0,000,000 to get them. Now , New York only keeps hens enough to lay about 8,000,000 do/on and so , ot course , wo have to go knocking around all over the country and part of Canada , to keep up with the cry for eggs. It would take all the eggs that New York , New Jersey , Pennsylvania and Massachusetts hens are responsible for to supply this city with all the eggs it wants. The 25,000,000 eggs used hero last year , if laid in a single line , one after another , without a hair's spaoo between them , would reach from Boston to San Francisco. I tell you , there's a big thing waiting for one who can get a corner on eggs. The- enterprise of Chicago is by no means confined to commercial channels. It is rapidly developing a group of edu cational institutions of a high order. Among the most prominent of those is Park Torcst University , n low miles north of the city , which is winning a place In the front rank of American col leges. Hereafter it will hold local exam inations for admission each year in the principal western cities ; an nunounce- raont for the present year will bo found in another column. Admiral 1'orter's Liitorary Work. Albany Journal : Admiral Porter , who put too much of his prize money into bricks and mortar when he reconstructed his house , has found literary work an easy way of replenishing his coders. He received $30,000 bonus when ho handed In thu last page of manuscript of his naval storv , and , in addition , n royalty of 20 per cent is paid him ou books sold , so that he has thus far pocketed about thirty thousand dollars cash from this source. Tlio admiral has nlso written two novels which have been mercilessly critiseil , but from which he has derived n handsome revenue. His inventions in tor pedo boats and other naval mutters have not been practically ( successful. Elcctrio Lustre Starch will not stick to tlio Iron. C. J McCarthy and wife , and Judge Thomas Howard nnd daughter of St. Paul , are in the city , visiting friends.
