tcrilny morn I ii'at ) , tin curly hour nnd reported
that Ills \vlfo WUR missing ; that she hnd trot-
ton up out of boil In the nlpht , and cither
wandered off in a somnambulistic state , or
purposely disappeared. Hu was accompanied
by H. Wilson , and they , together with L. A.
Goldsmith , garbage master , repaired at
onc'o to the Cliristman dwelling , not until
after they had made n thoiough seardi
throughout the neighborhood , however , and
made extensive inquiry of all these who
knew the old lady , whether anything of her
had been seen. At thu house In Mrs. Chiist-
nian's room her clothes were found lying
upon a trunk whern she had cast them in
disrobing the evening before. This looked
somewhat suspicious , mid Goldsmith , who
had been dcputbcd at police headquartcis to
look the matter up , asked Mr. Cliristman If ho
had obseived anything peculiar about the
old lady recently , whether she had been ill ,
was satisfied with her home , or If anj thing
had occurred that would cause him to sus
pect that she w.is tiled of life and might
commit suicide. Ho replied that his wife had
fretted and worried a gieat dc.il lately about
residing In Omaha , that she wanted to move
into the country , or go somewhere
down in Kansas , where she had foi merly
lived , and that she was incessantly
importunlnghitn to comply with herdcmands.
He said the last ho had seen of hcrw.ii Sunday
night about 11 o'clock , that he walked into
her room with a lamp in his hand , and she
asked him if ho would not remove it as the
light hurt her eves. Ho said ho would. Then
BIU asked him if he could not prepare his
own coffee In the morning , and
liifcnlng from this question that she
was fueling indisposed and meant to
bo In bed longer than usual ,
ho replied that ho thought ho could. Mr.
Christman then letired , andln thomoiningon
nrisltig missed his wife. Search was immed
iately made , but blio could not bo found , then
he icportcd herdisappcaianco at the central
station.
"Can it bo po sihlo that she has thrown
herself in the cistci n { " asked the husband ,
as ho and Goldsmith stood in the yard club.it-
ing uppn the matter.
The cistern was then visited , but a glance
sufllccd to show that she was not there. Then
Goldsmith went to the well , and fancying ho
detected a suspicious look about the box , ho
hont for n grab-hook and began to investi
gate. He had been at work but a moment
when the hooks became attached to some
heavy object , and the men pulling
together on the rope , in another
moment were horrified to behold the bedraggle -
ragglo and dripping form of the old lady as
cending. The body , robed only in a night
dress , was quickly hauled to the surface and
carried into the house. The coroner was no-
tilled , and shortly thereafter appeared upon
the scene and held an Inquest. The ver
dict was that the deceased hud thrown
heiself in the well during a
temporary aberration of the mind , with sui
cidal Intent. In what manner Mis. Christ-
man took the fatal plunge can only bo con
jectured. She was sixty-two years of age ,
and a pleasant , kindly lady. The well in
which she drowned herself is sixty feet
deep , and now contains about twelve feet of
water.
Stevenson in Court.
Sam Stevenson was brought into court yes
terday afternoon , before Judge Groft. Edward
Crowoll and George W. Shields appeared as
attorneys for the defense.
Mr. Shields stated to the court that he
would llko to have the case continued until
. this morning , inasmuch as neither he
lior Mr. Crowell had seen the prisoner since
his return. This request Judge Groff re
fused to grant , stating that the entire after
noon would undoubtedly bo taken up hi cm-
panelling the jury.
County Attorney Slmer.il stated that ho
would demand that the Jury would not bo
allowed outside of the custody of the sheriff
during the trial. No objection to this was
inado by the defense. Mr. Charles Offutt will
assist the state. A largo crowd of spectators
were present and the court room will doubt
less bo packed during the week as testimony
of rare raciness is expected.
The greater pait of the afternoon was
passed in empaneling a Jury , and it was after
4 o'clock when the twelfth and last man
proved acceptable to. the prosecution and
defense. The panel comprised sixty names
and was nearly exhausted when the follow
ing named were accepted and sworn in as
jurymen : C. J. Kyan , John Hiley , .1. H.
J.acey , C. W. Finn , J. Donnelly , sr. , Albert
Sharp , C. Hcrtteson , Thomas Burke , Jerry
Mahoney , I * . J. McQuillan , John Lekstrom ,
August Wnlgeh.
After administering the oath Judge Groff
warned the twclvo men not to read or bo in
fluenced by newspaper accounts of the trial ,
to keep aloof from discussion on the case
with anyone , mid particularly impressed
upon tlieir minds the fact that they wei o to
report to the court all , if any should be made ,
overtures from outsiders to bias their ver
dict. There is not a mail on the Jury under
forty years of ago , and four of them have
snowy wliito hair and beards. Stevenson
watched the proceedings with a nervous
demeanor , and consulted continuously with
his lawyers. The trial will begin this
morning.
A. Chain ofFer
For Bomo time past Micro lias been under
. way in this city a very important move
which Is calculated to Insure to the Jlnaiici.il
benetlt of the projectors as also to the physi
cal comfort and wulfaro of the people of this
city. It is the transfer to the city of seventy-
live acres of the most diveisitled and beauti
ful grounds around the city , the same with
the exception of ono block being the property
of the South Omaha land syndicate , and
lying contiguous to the main traveled road
between this city and our suburban neigh
bor. The transfer if imulo will bo under cer
tain conditions , the principal ono of which is
that a certain amount of money shall bo expended -
ponded annually for a number of years
placing the property in an improved condition
for paik purposes. Naturally , the site is
well adapted for the pin pose , in some placce
being level and rolling and at others dipping
down gradually to | iools of the clearest
water , which with little euro and money
might bo developed into beautiful lakes. As
n rule the inclines are thickly wooded ami
might easily bo trimmed so as to resemble
some of thu most beautiful shady parts ol
Hunscom park. The principal parts of thi
property in question lies immediately around
iho pumping works of the syndicate , ami
\from off one of the lakes the pumps Imvc
drawn the supply of water which lias been
furnished thu yards. Thu connection
of the latter now witli the pipes
of the Omaha water works will soon rcndei
the older pumps unnecessary and they will
shortly bo removed. This will cnablo the
natural supply of water which Is constant ! }
welling from unseen springs to bo used foi
lake purposes , and allow of the extension 01
the creation of u chain of lakes toward Soutl
Omaha , by removing the dam which 1m ;
thus far kept all the water in ono place foi
the pumps above referred to. In furtherance
anco of this scheme the syndicate lias had It
its employ for some weeks past a landscapt
pardncrliohasdesigned plans which convert -
vert this property into n little Eden. Tin
proposition abovp referred to has notycl
L ' been made oftlclally to the council , but those
g , of them who Imvo been spoken to privateb
V. about it Imvo expressed themselves in favoi
T of the move , lu view of the great deniaiu
r of the people for parks and the great scarcity
of the latter as also the cost to which tin
city would bo put , there Is certain to bo i
strong feeling in behalf of this inoro whlcl
will muUo it successful.
A reporter for the BEE yesterday asket
W. A. lxton n < j to whether the transfer 01
lender had yet been made , and his reply was
"No , I'm ft member of the syndicate , am
Ne'ro selling lots of property dowutkcn
every day , and I guess I'd know If anything
of the kind had been done. "
"What Is going to bo done with the prop
erty ! "
"It , will be used as n park. "
The reason for the transfer not having
been J et made Is perhaps because the time
decided upon lias not arrived. But It will bo
noticed that Mr , Paxtoti admits the Intention
of the grounds as a park ,

Yesterday was whatls known In the county
clerk's ofllco as "Auehmocdy's pension day , "
and that uentleman has his hands full of
business. At noon ho had witnessed ami
signed no less than eighty-nine of the war

como to Mr. Auchmoedy is that he , being u
soldier himself , resolved ycais ago that ho
would always aid the widows mid orphans of
soldiers as much as lay in his power. Ho has
kept his word well. By law he is entitled to

pone 5 our opening until November 19th. Wo had a stock of $125,000 worth of goods ready on September 15th for this Omaha store ; in i consequence of thi

t is worth fully $3O , and to be returned at our expense if your judgment docs not correspond with ouw. llemember the price , only $16 now for an
Overcoat that cost $30 in September.

ComlitUmol'tlic County General Fund
That Printing Contract.
The finances of Douglas county are in a la
mentable condition so far as the "general
fund" is concerned. From this fund all sal
aries , fees , charities and general expenses
must bo paid. All that remains in the fund
$11,12.1-15 , and it cannot bo increased before
July ls > t , l S. A low estimate of the ex
penses for the next seven months is ? JO , < iK ( )
outside the expensed of two trims of couit ,
which will gicatly increase them. Commis
sioner O'Kcefe , the watch-dog of the county
tieasury , stated this morning in open session
that outside of salaries and charities no
would not sign a single resolution for the ex
penditure of money. So all creditors of the
county will bo obliged to wait until after July
1st of next.year for their pay. There is not
even money enough to make the repairs nec
essary to give the county cleik a new ofllce.
Hccorder of Deeds Megcntli will take the
old county clerk'solllce after January 1 , and
a new ono will bo litted up for Mr. Ifochu.
This will bo located in tho. south
cast corner r of the liist lloor in
the rear of Mr. Hruncr's oftico and a door
must bo cut through the ofllce of thu county
commissioners. This necessary expense
will be provided for as set forth in the fol
lowing < csolutioii offered by Mr. O'Kcefe
and concurred in by Messrs. Tiinmo and
Mount :
Whereas , the 85 per cent of the county is
almost exhausted and the county commission
ers cannot draw on the general fund until
after the new levy is made , and
Whereas , It is necessary according to law
to piovido new olllccs and lit accommoda
tions for county clerk , bo it
Hesolved. That Mr. C. P. Nccdhain ,
county clerk , bo and Is hereby Instructed on
his retiring from olllce , to deliver to his suc
cessor , Mr. M. I ) . Hocho , the sum of $2,500 ,
this sum to bo taken from the surplus county
fees of county clerk's ofllco and shall bo Ubed
to defray the expenses mentioned above.
rillNTINO \DVEUTIIXO. .
The little scheme of Cadet Taylor and
"Honest" George Tiinmo to tbiow the print
ing and advertising of the county into the
hands of the Republican company failed to
pass the board jesterdayand two amended
resolutions weiu passed over Mr. Timme's
refusal to sanction thU in which the opinion
of Mr. O'lCecffo prevailed.
The Hrst ono relates to the county adver
tising and it was decided that all bids for the
work should bo accompanied by sworn state
ments as to the circulation of thu jouinals is
sued by the publishers making bids.
The second ono relates to the printing of
blanks and manufacture of blank books. It
will bo remembered that Mr. Taylor at
tempted to get the board to agree only to ac
cept books having thu Philadelphia patent
back of which ho Is solo agent. Mr. O'lvceffo
made a most emphatic "kick" and demanded
that the words "or equally as good" follow
having thu Philadelphia patent back.
As stated above , tliCMj two amended reso
lutions were passed. Mr. Tiinmo only once
opened his mouth , nnd that was on the point
relating to sworn statement of circulation of
papers being miulc. Mr. Tiinmo did not
open bis mouth very wide , but a remarkable
opinion was given utterance. Ho said : "If
people want to read county advertisements ,
let'em buy the paper that publishes them. "
The inference } is that his friendMi' . Taylor ,
in not over anxious to present u sworji state
ment as to the circulation of the Uepublicaii.
Did Not Neglect Ills Duty.
Mr. Needham , county clerk , denies that It
was through his onlcial negligence that those
bids were not advertised on December 1st ,
for printing etc. Ho states that ho had not
received the estimates from the commlsxlon-
er . and they in turn declare that'll was the
fault of the clerk of the district court , who
had/lelaycd giving In Ills.
