Last } car a new com- IMUV proposed to hullil another street rail road , mitas enjoined by the old ono on the claim that the charter of 1S5 controlled nil of the streets of the city exclusively for thirty } ears. The now company won In the lower court on the ground that the council of twenty years URO had no rleht to tmitcraway an exclusive rlulit to rmbllu street * . Mean time the case was appealed and the new com pany built nnd has operated wivwal miles of track as a rival road.

To vho Editor of the BKE : I was glad to notioo In your Sat urday's issno an editorial suggesting that , In view of sovurnl recant cases of chil dren and others bomg attacked by dogs , the nuliuals should bo uithur muy./.led or conlicd. It is H fact that impresses itself Very forcibly upon ono coming from nn castor city , that Oninhn is infested to au unusual extent with cura whoso number is only exceeded by their worthlussncss How they can ntl'ord any pleasure to their owners it in dillicult to imagine. Many of them doubtless have no owners , al any rate , tincared for aa they arc , it would bo sheer kindness to terminate as speedily as possible , their miserableox istcnco. The city government or our police force will probably not act decisively m this matter , and will , perhaps await the development of a genuine case of hydrophobia RS the result of a dog bite , ana when two or three human lives have boun sacri ficed within their judicial wisdom con clude it Is about time to slaughter n few worthless and miserable dogs. i would suggest that thu dog tax bo raised to say $00 per annum and vigor ously enforced. This would at leas Imvo the oiled of ridding the city o worthless canines who ranko our streets dangerous by day and render night hid cons by their infernal yelps ana howls They areof no use whatever , nnd it is infinitely better that they should all bo killed than that our children should bo in constant danger of incurring tha most dreadful of nil diseases hyuropho bla. Please ngitato the matter until the dangerous nuls.in o is abated , Yourg Truly , CITIZEN. Hla Slonth Gave Hint Away. A.

Detroit Free Press : Soon after day light wo wore all aroused by a wrangling in the sleeping car , nnd presently it was discovered that the row was- between the porter ami a passenger the latter nn old man with a fringe of red hair nronnd his hkull , who had turned iu without un dressing. " 1 toil you I hcv bin robbed brutally robbed ! " shouted the old man. "It can't be , Bah , " replied the porter. "Then whore's my money my ? 1J ( ? I had it iu my handkerchief when I went to bodl" "Better look around , salt. Mebbo it'a in do berth. " "Don't mobbo mo , von infernal nigger. I'm a telling yon that some ono has basely and brutally robbed mo ns I slept. " ' 'Wo all turned out and began to count up to see if the robber had got anything moro , nnd while wo wore doing this the old man was pulling on his cowhide boots. The right ono went on with a chug , but when it came to the loft he found an obstruction. Reaching in his hand he pulled out the handkerchief and the money. "Dat's what I 'apeetod all do time , " said the much relieved porter. "Ynas , tills isthostutV. and I remember of putting it thar , " replied the old man. The colored man felt that ho ought to have an apology of some sort under the circumstances , and after taking two or three of us into the smoking-room to got advice the old man went back and said : "Look hero , Moses , I'm a fair man. 1 thought yon brutally robbed mo , but yon didn't , nnd I civo you credit for it. I also called you nil Infernal nigger. Please move to strike out the word 'in fernal' and out she goes , and now you blasted nigger como out hero and show mo how to get some water to wash iul" Good , If True. WASIUNOTOK , Juno 23. Prof. Klisha Gray is said to have n now discovery , which promises as extraordinary results as are obtained from the telephone. No patent has as yet been issued or even ap plied tor , but the invention is protected by about thirty different caveats. Meun- while the inventor te engaged in perfect ing it. The general plan can perhaps DO best described by the term "auto-tele- graphy. " It Is claimed that it will bo possible by this invention to write upon a sheet of paper and to have an auto graphic fau scmilo of the writing repro duced by telegraph oOO miles away anil probably a much greater distance. The successful experiments so far have been limited to about three hundred miles. It is expected that the same results will be obtained on much larger circuits. It may bo some time before tha invention is perfected , but the inventor has great confidence that a great and practical rival to the telephone will ultimately bo produced.

AUHOUI : IIUYS our MPTON. The Bijr I'nckiiii ; HOIIHO nt Smith Oinnha ChniittPH Hands. Armour has at last decided to locate a packing house at Omaha. Some time jo mention was made in thuso columns that the J. A. Lipton packing house at South Omaha was killing hogs for Armour & Co. The meat was lo'idcd into Armour & Co's refrigerator cars and .shipped to Chicago. This house is now to be turned over to Armour & Co. , who will operate it in the future , . 'The house is very complete and provided with all the latest devices known in the business. It has a capacity of handling from 1,000 to 2,000 hogs pur day. It was constructed last year by the stock yard" company for Thomas J. Lipton , who also has a pack ing house in Chicago. Lipton is the largest retail dealer of provisions in the world nnd has over thirty mammoth re tail establishments in England and Scot land. To supply this trade he has located packing houses in America. The trade which Lipton supplies demands what are are known as light hogs that is , hogs weighing from IbO to 2'd pounds. Jn some parts of the country , where corn is not plenty , it is easy to obtain light hogs , but , in Nebraska , where corn is in abun dance and cheat ) , the farmers will not sell their hoc- ; , while they weigh only 200 pounds , when they can nmko thorn welch 1500 pounds by keeping them a little longer , and thus realize more for them. For this reason the Lipton packing house at South Omaha has not been a success , aa the kind of hogs necessary to supply their trade could not be had. The house has been running in a small way over binee it was opened last fall , and , aside from the past few weeks , it has not been any help to the Omaha hog market. A good manv of the hogs which they killed they wore forced to ship up from Kansas City. All this will bo changed now , as Armour handles all kinds of hogs , both light and heavy , and will take them as they como. The house will be run to its fullest capacity and will thus bo a great help to the market by creating a greater demand for hogs. It is talked that Armour will build additions to the packing house and increase its capacity , but at this early date it is impossible to give any exact in formation as to what these improvements will bo. The hoc men are nil greatly elated 9ver the announcement that Ar mour is coining here at once , as his name alone is a .source of great strength to a new market like this. Said one , "Armour is the best man any market could have , ns ho is always booming prices up instead of bearing them down , knowing that it is no disadvantage to pay a biir price for his hogs when by doing that he compels his competitors to pay the same prices. " Man or the Lord. Yesterday morning there was a meeting oftho Omaha Congregational Union at the Vaxton.

Mr. Flynn was but twenty-four years of ago , nnd had been in this country but : hri'u years , during which time ho had jccn an esteemed employe of the Smelt ing works company , lie was popular among all his associates , and this was at tested by the fact that both of the organi zations ofAhleh he was a member have adopted feeling resolutions of regret.

[ Corre spondence of the BI.E. ] Ev-Mayor Hardy , of Lincoln , delivered a lecture tea a large audience at tlm school house on the question of prohibition. At a mooting of the citizens Saturday evening it was decided to celebrate on the 21st of July instead of the Fourth , as most of our citi/uns Ind made arranco- incuts to attend the Omaha celebration. A big time is expected at Springliuld , as there will most likely bo an excursion from Weeping Water and ono from Omaha. An unknown was found dead in the P'ipio about four miles northeast of Pa- pillion. The body was in a bad state of decomposition and could not be idcn- tilied. The jury returned a verdict that the unknown came to his death from causes unknown to the jury. The Painters' Strike. There is still but little prospect of the differences between the masters and men being brought to a satisfactory settle ment. Conlidenco is very generally ex pressed by the strikers , however , that their cause will triumph in the end. A leading master painter told a BKI : re porter last night that an agent is at work in Iowa engaging men to supply the places of those on strike , and that twenty men from that stale have arrived and are already al work. It is expected that other men will follow in the course of a few days. The yKromuit Arnvott. Prof. Oscar Hunt , the famous scro- limit , and well known in Omaha , arrived from Cleveland last evening.

Judge Berka , of the police court , turned out a healthy old grist yesterday morning , dockctinc no less than thirty vacs , drunks , fracturcrs of the peace , sus pects , etc. , for the county jail. Among the most conspicuous of all this nauseous olla podrlda uf crooked ness and indecency , was John Norwood , a vicious-looking darkey , who tried to beat Hong Wing Lung the celestial laundryman of Tenth street , out of his week's washeo-washeo. Hone Wing Long piosuntud him with the bunillu when he made n break for the door , but Long was too agile for him , ann caught him by the coat tail as he was leaping from the door. Then Norwood. dropping his bundle , ami whipping out a ra/or made a murderous slash at iho lauiidryniati , who , however , luckily avoided the stroke. Ollieer Bloom , as is a knack of his , canio lloating along at this juncture , and fastened onto Norwood , although it was only after btincing his club into piny that lie was induced to accompanv him , Hi > got thirty days in jail , the first and last live on bread and water. Nick Wallace , another coon , and n ivoll known one about headquarters , re ceived a similar dose for too much fa miliarity with a Sixteenth street grocer's cabbage. James Parks , a walking arsenal , and George Greenwalt , an annuv , were doled out sixty anil thirty day ; , respectively , with the usual opuning and closing broad and water concomitants.

The planks in the walks of the Elev enth street viaduct are warping badly , making it unpleasant and painful to walk upon them.

The water sup ply has boon found inadequate to the re quirements of the largo packing houses. It was hoped that the pond near the yards would sufllco until the artesian and other wells could bo .completed , bat the pond Is now almost dry and it will bo weeks before there will bo any moro wells completed. The Stock Yards company Attempted to make some arrangement with the Omaha waterworks company to run a main down to the stock yards. The waterworks company , however , would not do anything unless a live 5 cars' contract - tract was entered into , which the stock yards company did not feel like doing. As ! It now stands , thu Fowler packing house will , without doubt , bo forced to shut down until moro water can bo had. The stock yards company have decided to lay a pipe line from the river to the yards. A 10-inch pipe will bo used , and to save time it will bo laid on top of the ground. A pump will bo placed on the river bank to force the water up to the yards. They Sny Thnt Ho la n Married nnd Uiullvorced Mnn. CIIANUTI : , Kan , , Juno 20.
