The " 01 < 1" PnqHIc House.
The work of tearing down the old Pacific
house has commenced , preparatory to the
building upon the site of a large business
block to be occupied by Etscman & Co. , of
the People's Store.
The old Pacific house Is pno of the most
notable of the ancient landmarks. It has
stood during the most remarkable period of
this city's history. It has seen tin ? btrtli of
Omaha , bos seen its wonderful trrowth , has
been here during all the remarkable changes
in Council liluffs , nnd Lived long enough to
see the. wedding of the two cities. The last
meals served were for this great cclcgration
the opening of Broadway bridge. Then it
seemed that the old pile of brick was content
to say : "Now let thy servant depart in
peace. "
The oldest portion of the building was put
up In 185M by Samuel S. Hayliss. Mr. Buy-
llss was a remarkable man In many respects.
At that time he owned nearly all of What Is
now the central portion of the city. The
beautiful park which bears his
name , located In the heart of
the city , will ever keep Its
his memory fresh. He passed away ilftcon
years ago. One daughter , Mrs. Parks , still
lives here. Another daughter lives In
Kansas and a son in California.
FromC fi Stone 'Siulro Stone , as ho
is familiarly known learned something of
the early history of the Pacific bouse. Mr.
Stone arrived in Council Bluffs November
10 , 1SVI. With his family he slopped at the
Citv hotel , a log building occupying the site
of the present Ogdcn house. At that time
the walls of the old portion of the Pacific
housn were up , and the building about com
pleted. Mr. Bayllss at that time had for his
residence a log cabin , on what is now
Scott street , and about where Bray's stables
are now. The business houses of the Bluffs ,
log ones mainly , were on Upper Broadway ,
in the vicinity of the present Mctnodist
church. The Pacific hotel was built almost
in u cornfield. Frank Guittar , who still
lives hero , had a log store corner of Maine
nnd Broadway , where the express oflico now
is. It was in ono corner of a great corn-
djld.
djld.Tho Pacific house was prnetlcally the first
brick building erected here. While it was
being put up a small brick building was
built on Broadway , just west of the pres
ent government building. It was torn down
n year or so ao to make room for the new
postofllce. Another building two stories
of brick , was put up by Colonel Babbitt. Just
woit of where the Everett block now stands ,
on Broadway. These buildings were started
about the time of the Pacific house , but be
ing smaller structures , were completed
sooner.
The Pacific house was opened about the
1st of January , 1854 , but it was not fully pre
pared in all respects. A little later u fr.imo
addition was built on , containing a dining
room and kitchen. This was built of green
cottonwood. On the tJd ! of Feomary , ibfll ,
there was a grand bull given hero aim the
feet of many dancers whirled over the rough
flooring , and beneath the rude roof , wall
flowers hud not advantage of even plaster on
the walls.
Mr. Bayllss kept the hotel for a year or
more , and then leased It. Marshal Turlcy ,
an old rcsiJcnt , was for a time the landlord.
For suver.il years It was leased by Mr.
Scars , an uncle of Ellas Scars. It was here
that Colonel Poppleton , the well known at
torney of Omaha , met , wooed and won Ills
wife , the daughter of the landlord , and the
wedding ceremony took place beneath this
roof.
roof.After
After Mr. Scars gave up the hotel , several
different parties served as landlord , each for
a short time. Among these was John Jones ,
who was recently clerk in the hotel , mid who
of late was engaged In the mall service. J.
M. Palmer , for a few months , run the hotel
in company with H. D. Washburn. That
was about 1S.V ) . Afterwards Mr. Martin win
landlord , and later Ur. Bragg.
Mr. Hayliss resumed charge of the
hotel himself , and n 11 ro having done
some damage to the building , ho not only
repaired the damage , but enlarged the hotel
greatly , expending about & ! 0,000 in doing so.
He remained us landlord as well us owner
until his death , which occurred beneath the
same roof.
For thirteen years G. W. Ferguson &
Son were the proprietors. They recently
removed to South Omaha. They were very
successful as well an popular , and the Pacific
house was ono of thec iof resorts of thocity.
The old building has furnished shelter to
many notables , most prominent among
whom was Abraham Lincoln , who visited
this c-ity early in ISM ) , just before his nomi
nation. Ho remained several days looking
after some private business. Ho had loaned
money on some land hero und caino here to
settle business connected with that.
The old Pacific was in the early years the
headquarters for the Western Stairo com
pany. Seine of the oftlclals connected with
It have slnco become very prominent in con
nection with the railways which have suc
ceeded the stage coach.
Mr. Buyllss had built a largo barn on Scott
street , on the slto of his little log cabin , and
afterwards it was replaced by a brick one.
This was used by the stage company , whoso
oflico was m the hotel.
Tno hotel used to rent for ? 5OCO n year ,
and the store building , barber shop , bur. etc. ,
bi ought In enough for years so as to leave
the landlord free of rent entirely. It was
the leading hotel of this part of the country
for years.
The old hotel has seen great changes and
us it Is being removed from the sight of the
old citircns , many of them cannot but see It
go with regret , although gratified nt the
prosueetof so much more worthy u building
to tuko its place.
The last meals served In the hotel were
those prepared last Tuesday by the Woman's
Christian association for the benctlt of their
hospital. It seems befitting that the lust use
of the old building should bo for philan
thropic purposes. In the earlier years it has
been the resort of thn cruder and in many
cases the inoro vicious elements of society ,
in the dti.vs of frontier life , when there wiis
inoro freedom of rollick , und inoro boldness
In bunko. It has survived the primitive
period ot the westward march of civiliza
tion , and having witnessed the happy and
peaceful wedding of two thriving and cul
tured cities , Its lust offering was to the
purse which Is held open by Christian wo
manhood for the relief of the suffering and
needy.

The llucos.
Yesterday was the last day of the fall trot
ting and pacing meeting of 1SSS at Union
park , und the attendance was most discour
aging. The gate receipts amounted to almost
nothing , while the attractions were of the
very best. The weather was all thnt could bo
desired , with the exception of the wind that
blow half a gale during a part of the after
noon und prevented n lowering of records in
some cases. The great performance- the
day was the pacing of the two-ycar-olu
stallion , Ed Uosowator , the property of N. I.
D. Solomon of Omaha. The track was nt least
three seconds slow owing to the wind , which
raised a terrific cloud of dust and fairly shook
the grand stand and amphitheater. The won
derful colt , which is a handsome dark gru-v ,
is splendidly bred , of line action and great
endurance. Ho was sired by Vasco , a son of
Harold , the slro of Maud S.und his dam was
Vince , by Bellmont , by Alexander's Abdul
lah. Ho is truly a phenomenon and
good things are expected of him. .In
the future. Ho has beaten the
the world's record for 2-ycar old pacing , and
in two clays lowered it four seconds. Ho
was valued at $10,000 previous to this per
formance , bat bis owner now places him at
f 15,000. His performance la regarded as one
of the greatest turf events of the year.
It Is very doubtful If any more racing v > IU
be witnessed , at Union park. The manage
ment has struggled for years to keep up the
park , and the attendance has been very
light. The track is the fastest in the.'vrcd
and Is regarded M the fastest running track
In the country. With n llttlo outlay It could
bo made as fast for trotters. It has been
fondly hoped that the opening of a wagon
bridge wns nil that wai needed to brlnp
Omaha people over In forcq.'but ttio result ol
this meeting Is not nattering to thbsc holding
that belief. It has been. decided to glvo up
the park , pint It ami sell U for house lots. It
Is , honed that sufficient pVcssuro can be
brought to bear on the management to Induce
them to relinquish this plan for ttlo'prcsent ,
and give it a trial of one- more season ,
Omaha can offer no such advantages ns this ,
anil a vigorous effort should bo mailo to keep
up the track and glvo It , liberal patronage ,
The association has lost'ovcr $ ri,000 , on the
park the past season nnd can not nfTord tc
continue ) It. The park and association stalul
very high with the horsemen throughout the
counlr'y , and it Is to bo regretted that such n
move as necessitates the abandonment ol
past glory und brilliant prospects for the
future ,
The races of .yesterday proved very Inter
esting and the time nuila was very treed ,
The following Is the order and results of the
races on the day's programme ! :
The first race was the unfinished 2:4f :

for second place. Mollie pulled away nt the

very fast. There was great expectation of u
line race , and the spectators were not disap
pointed. Hosowater broke badly after leav
ing the wire , and was n long distance in the
rear nt the quarter. They were ull well
strung out as they entered the back stretch ,
and Kosewater was drivinir. Ho beuun to
close up the gap rapidly , and passed Oliver

pushed St. John hard to the hall , but lost
his feet and wont to the rear. Hosowntcr
caught St. John on the upper turn and took
the lead , which caused great excitement.

Second heat As the horses came to the

win easily , but no one thought that
the tlmo would bo fast , ns the
wind was blowing up the stretch nt a terrific
rate. Some Jockeying was indulged in und
the horses were at lonuth sent off , leaving
St. John several lengths in the rear. It was
a procession all the way. As Uoscwuter
wont living up the back stretch over.vono exclaimed -

' A Fatal Accident , ,
. A sad .accident occurred at , the dummy
depot last evening , by which Mr. William H.
Darling , a wellknown , resident of thla city
for the past twenty years , lost his life. 'Mr.
Darling was employed as foreman at Chris
Btraub's brick yard , and was djriving.a team
of mules belonging to Mr. 43traub'whcn ho
iict ( his death. Tho'KMMunitny train was
fun ! pulling Into the- depot when Mr. Dar *
ling attempted to drlvp over the Tenth street
crossing In front of theVnpup. Accounts of
eye witnesses differ . $ to how the accident
occurred , One story fs thitt the mules be
came frightened , nnd he could not cot them
off the track , when realizing his
peril , ho jumped from the. wagon.
Another story Is that he apparently lost his
head and jumped , with n3 necessity for so
doing. Certain It Is that -lie jumped to ( ha
track mid fell. The mules knd wngon passed
passed on and escaped t in Jury. Whether or
not Mr. Darling was BtijUnod by his fall will
probably never bo known. It appears quite
problc that ho was , as be Imd sufficient time
to get off the track if such was not the case.
The train was moving very slowly nnd was
brought to a standstill julmoal Immediately
after striking him , but it v , * . * too late. The
unfortunate man wrts. struck by the point of
the pilot and. , the right hip was
knocked over to tbo opposite side
of the body * The cuticle on the
lower part of the trunk was torn up ,
leaving the abdomen bare , but the wound
which caused death is not yet determined.
There wus a deep wound found upon the
forehead , but whether or not it was caused
ut the time of his fall is not known/ The
u heels did not reach him , US'the train was
stopped almost in&tantly. He was not dead ,
und was taken to the dummy depot. Dr.
Cleaver , the Union Pacific surgeon , was
called to attend him. The injured man wus
conscious nnd talked ratlpnally. Ho said
that he felt no pain , and made Inquiries con
cerning his injuries. Ho also furnished in-
fqimation concerning himself and family.
He lived about un hour and a half. There-
mains were then removed to the undertaking
rooms of Field ft Estop , where the inquest
will be held at 10 o'clock this morning.
The deceased resided at 1U2U Tostevln
street , and leaves a wife und live children.
He was 53years of age. He was n sober , in-
dUstrlous man , nnd was highly respected by
a wide circle of friends Whose acquaintance
he hud made during his long residence In
the city. Due notice of his funeral will bo
given later.

chronicled the movements of this body , nnd
wo must say that Its members have devel
