An accident occurred yesterday mornIng -
Ing at the corner of Fifth and Glen ave
nues by which ono lifo was lost and
others momentarily jeopardized. A
man named Robert H. Atartln was
thn victim of the disaster. Coroner
Faul was immediately summoned and
proceeded to empanel a jury. The body
was ordered removed to the undertaking
rooms of Alorgan , Keller & Co. , the
patrol wagon , which was early upon the
scene , serving as a means of conveyance.
The facts regarding the sad affair may
best bo learned from the testimony of
eye witnesses , which is hero given as
brought out at the Inquest :
Jess Lifer , with two other men , was
helping deceased load a wagon with dirt ,
when almost without warning the bank
caved , and before he could get out was
knocked under the horses and partially
burled by the falling mass. Holpeu ex
cavate thn body , which was about two
urn1 one-halt feet under the surface , with
the neck across the tire ot the rear wagon
wheel.
F. O. Gleason Arrived just after the
accident and assisted in excavating the
body , which was burled to the depth of
two or three feet , with neck across the
tire. Hadn't noticed thn bank pre
viously. The location was Fifth avenue ,
in the street.
Jess Lifer , Recalled At the time of the
accident , was working for John Kclley ,
who was a few rods away.
John Kelley Was near by xvhen the
accident occurred. Am always very
careful about the bank , and didn't think
there was any danger. Do not know the
deceased. Came to mo about an hour
previously and wanted a job. Told him
to take a shovel and go to work. Con
sidered him sober.
The ] ury then retired and shortly re
turned a verdict in accordance with the
testimony.
Martin was n married man about
thirty-live years of ago and lived with his
wife at Oia Tenth avenue. Ho had been
a resident here since last April , coming
hero from Pluttsmouth , and worked tor
some time at his trade , painting , for D.
S. Hrcnneman.
Attorney Ewing , of Iowa City , a
brother-in law of the deceased , was noli-
lied of the event , as was also Mr. E. M.
Stewart , of Flint , Alieh. , the father of
Mrs. Martin , who started last night for
this city. The funeral will be postponed
until his arrival.
No blame was attached to any one , but
the need of increased vigilance and
extra precautions on the part of those
having such work in charge , is very evi
dent to everyone.
A Successful Syndicate.
The forty acres formerly known as the
K. C. tract , and later put into the Omaha
addition , has been owned by a syndicate ,
which , by its trustee , has sold oil'a goodly
portion of it. The unsold lots , together
with the cash and notes , were divided
up yesterday among the individual mem
bers now owning an interest. Those
who were in at the finish worn J. C.
Shriver of Omaha , N. Merrlam of Hinio-
baugh & Alorriam , Samuel Haas , H. W.
Tilton nnd S. Saunders & Son. There
has been a wonderful advance in the
value oi this property since the original
syndicate was formed. Two years ngo
there was no activitv in this property at
all , with a market value of perhaps $100
an acre , with no ono wanting to buy.
The original syndicate bought it at $200
an acre , and the newspapers of this city ,
with the exception of the UKK , were slow
to believe that it was not a mere bit of
wind. The investors were satisfied , and
the property began at once to advance ,
and rapidly. Some of the original
owners sold out their interests at double
what they paid , and others sold at $500
an acre. It was platted , nnd lots have
been selling rapidly from $250 upwards.
Those who have bought lots have been
fortunate also , for these lots are sure to
double in a much shorter time than such
a profit could bo realized by ordinary
investment. The closing division proved
a satisfactory one to the syndicate , who
have made a handsome return on their
investment thus far.
The history of all syndicates hero has
not been so satisfactory. There are some
which embraced so many individuals as
to render settlements and handling
rather dillioult , and many who went into
such combinations during the 'mining
camp excitement which prevailed in real
estate circles last spring have tired of
such complications and would gladly
hold their property individually.
The result of this syndicate shows that
there are numerous chances in Couno.il
H lulls to make money in real estate , and
wise investors are quietly picking up
property , feeling confident that the fu
ture prices are to bring back a handsome
return for the money.
Wedded In the East.
DOWLINO-SAVAGK-Soptombor 15 , by
the Kev. father Manoney , Edward Uowl-
Inn to Nannie F. Savage , daughter 'of Dr.
Stivaze and niece ot the late well known
Dr. Hosan , of 110 East Twoltth street.
The above from the Now York Herald
is interesting to the many friends of Air.
Dowling , who was formerly in the dry
goods business hero , and for years was
promi ncnt in business circles. The
woman whom ho has thus won and wed
is said to bo a highly cultured woman ,
who has also the good fortune to possess
un estate which reaches a half million
dollars or more in value. Air. Dowling
has boon verv successful in his own busi
ness career , and the union is therefore in
a double scnso a joining of fortunes as
well as of hearts. The Council Bluffs
friends join in the brightest of well
wishes.
Another Hllver City Chapter.
R. AI. Wilbur , of Sioux City , was yes
terday taken before Justice Schurz by
Alorshall Guanolla on a warrant sworn
out by Jacob Sims , attorney for J. B'
Farwell & Co. , of Chicago , charging him
with conspiracy with D. H. Woodman tc
commit n public olVonso. The conspiracy
was to buy the stock of goods of Burton
tfc Woodman at Silver City , upon which
Farwoll & Co. held n mortgage. Wilbur's
bond was lixod at $500 , which ho fur
nished , friends becoming his surety.
Woodman's case was transferred to Mills
county , some time since.
Great Cities.
The Epoch : Cities with 1,000,000 in.
habitants and upward have never been
plentiful in any ngo of the world , and
their number is very limited now. There
are four such cities in Europe , thrco or
four in Asia , and but ono on this conti
nent. The doubt in regard to the num
ber In Asia arises from the fact that it ia
dillioult to determine whether thn claim
of Nanking to 1.000,000 inhabitants is
correct or not. Assuming it , however ,
to be just , the rank of the very great
cities of the world , based on thr census ol
1880 nnd 1881 , would stand as follows ;
London. 4,700.001 ; Paris. 2'20U,023 ; Canton -
ton , 1,000,000 ; New Yorkl,200,5i)0j ) Toklo ,
1,140,080 ; Berlin , 1,133,300 ; Vieuna , 1,103 , .
857 ; Pekln , 1,000.000 ; Nanking , 1,000,000.
The round numbers given ns represent
ing the thrco Chinese cities named have
a very suspicious look , nnd perhaps they
ought to bo thrown out of the account
entirely. Certainly , Chinese or Japanese
estimates or partial enumerations are not
to bo placed bcsldo a properly taken cen
sus. A singular illustration of the folly
of estimates was furnished by the case of
Tokio , which was once believed to bo the
most populous city in the world , nnd to
hiive 4,000,000 inhabitants. When a cen
sus came to be taken the population
of the city was found to bo as
stated above , and this number
includes the suburbs. The population of
the city proper was but 811,510. In the
figures given for Vienna , the suburbs are
also included. As London is not n city ,
in the proper sense of the term , but an
aggregation of municipalities , the popu
lation given is that of the metropolitan
and city police districts which cover a
very largo area , about twenty square
miles. A similar urea about New York
would take in all of Kings county , half
of Queens , Wcstchestcr , and Richmond
counties , as well ns Jersey City , Newark ,
and numerous smaller towns in NowL
Jersey , with an aggregate population \\f \
the last census of at least 2,250,000 , nnd ,
of course , a much larger population now ,
Ijlvlns ; Inhabitants of Cavornn.
October Senbner : The living inhabi
tants of caverns , those which make these
regions of continuous darkness their
abiding places , are numerous and of the
greatest interest to the naturalist. Of
the several hundred species known to
f Indents , by far the greater part belong
to the group of articulated animals , in
sects , and crustaceans , these being the
forms which , of all animals , are the most
varied in structure and best suited for
the odd chances of lifo which the caverns
afford. As 'the reader well knows , the
grrat problem now before science is to
determine how far the shapes of living
creatures are determined by the circum
stances of the world about them , and
how far this determination has been
brought about through a process of selec
tionIn a natural way , of those yarjeties
which have some accidental special fitness
for the conditions in which thev live.
Cavern-animals afford us a capital bit
of evidence toward the solution of this
problem. The prevailing close artinity of
their forms with those which live in the
upper world of sunshine and changing
seasons shows , beyond a question , that
thev are all derived from similar forma
which once dwelt in the ordinary condi
tions of animal life. What , then , arc the
effects arising from the complete change
in the circumstances of these under
ground creatures ?
The facts are pcrulexing in their var
iety , and by no means welt worked out ,
but the following points seem to be well
established , viz : There is a manifest
tendency of all gayly colored forms to
lose their hues in the caverns and to be
come of an even color. This may be explained -
plained by thu simple absence of sun
shine , and on it no conclusions can be
based. The changes of the structural
parts are of more importance ; these , as
might be expected , relate mainly
to the organs of sense. The
eyes show an evident ten
dency in all the groups to fade away. In
the characteristic cavern-fishes they have
entirely disappeared , the whole structury
which serves for vision being no longer
produced. In the cray-fishes we may
observe a certain griulafion. Some species
which abound in caverns are provided
with oyei ; others have them present , but
so imperfect that they cannot servo as
visual organs ; yet others want them
altogether. One species of pseudo kcor-
pion , as shown by I'rol. 1 lagan , lias In
the outer world four eyes , while in the
caves it has boon found with two eyes ,
and others in an entirely eyeless condi
tion. Some cavern beetles have the males
with eyes , while the females are quilo
without them. As a whole , the cavern-
forms exmbit a singular tendency of the
visual organs , not only to lose their
functions , but also to disappear as body-
parts. At the same time there is an
equal , or even morcgeneral development
of the antciuiiu and other organs of touch ;
these parts becomn considerably length-
cued , and apparently of greater sensi
tiveness , a change which is of manifest
advantage to the individual.
Purity of Nnturnl Gnu.
Z. L. White , m the American maga
zine for October : The natural gas burns
absolutely without smoke , dust or odor.
Beautifully decorated tiles used in the
construction of a fireplace are not stained
or soiled after a whole year , although
they may have been in contact with the
llames of burning gas for months. The
most delicate furniture and fabrics are
not injured bv being kept in a room
heated by it. in fact thuy retain tl'oir
original fruthness and beauty as though
they had been carefully protected by
covering. The natural gas needs no at
tention. Lighted at the beginning of the
season in a lurnncc , stove , grate or fire
place , and tl > c proper amount turned on
to give thu desired heal , the latter does
not vary so much as two degrees in
months. But , since with the varying
temperature of the outer atmosphere ,
varying degrees of artificial heat are
required to preserve uniformity in an
appartment or house , artificial regulators
are supplied by which the amount of heat
of each room can he governed so accu
rately that the variations of temperature
will never bo greater than two degrees ,
except during the heat of summer.
