Pedestrians on Broadway were yes
terday forced to run Iho gauntlet of two
fires. Tlio cutting down of the old cottonwood -
tonwood on one side of Ihc street and
the work of tearing down the old Pa-
cilic house on the other compelled them
to seek safety in Iho middle of the
Btreol , al the risk of annihilation under
the wheels of streol cars and passing
teams.
The now cables for the use of the tel
ephone company have arrived and are
being placed in position. The interior
of the telephone exchange is being en

Nebraska telephone company. As soon
a the changes now underway are com
pleted this city will have the finest
service in this part of the country.
II being reported that some children
attending the Pierce streol school had
been exposed lo Iho small-pox , Ihe
authorities yesterday promptly closed
two of the rooms and will have no ses
sions of school in Ihem until the mailer
can bo fully investigated. This notion
has called forth some criticism , but the
authorities propose to be on the safe
side and run no risks. At present there
is but ono ease of small-pox in the cily ,
which for a cily of this size is below the
average.
.Mr. S. G. Underwood , who has been
attending thoscssion of Ihe county board
of supervisors in the cily for Ihe pasl
few days was yeslorday summoned to
the residence of his son-in-law , Mr. Ed
Ilenton , a few miles from the city , by
the death of his little grandson , aged
three years. The little fellow had suf
fered a few days from diphtheria , and
died yesterday morning. The arrange

ploled. The bereaved relatives have
the sympathy of many friends.
The knitting factory is increasing ils

The Tree Gnu Now He Spared.
At the corner of Broadway and Pearl
street there has blood for over thirty
years n. large cotton wood tree about
which cluster historic recollections of
local interest. The old tree has been
the pride of Horace Everett , who owns
the largo brick block in froat of which
the tree has stood. There have been
many changes in the cily in Iho years
during which this tree has blood. Time
iind again there has been a clamor for
its removal and numerous uetty com
plaints because of the various alleged
reasons. Twelve years ago the city
authorities determined to cut it down ,
declaring it to bo a nuisance. Mr. Ev
erett stopped into court and a contest
followed , which did not rest until the
supreme court acted in favor of Mr.
Everett. The old iree has been pro-
lected since by a permanent injunction ,
and has stood undisturbed until now.
Old age creeping on , and the veteran
being half dead , Mr. Everett has con
cluded that , the Ireo has served its day ,
and has given permission lo the tele
phone company to cut it down. A clear
way is thus left for their line and the
woodmen commenced their work yes
terday.
Computing the original cost of the
tree with interest for these many years
ana adding the expenses of the ex
tended litigation , the old tree has been
rather a costly luxury , and the decision
of the sunrcmo court is narrated in the
Iowa reports as follows :
"Tho petilion states lhat plaintiff is
the owner of certain real estate in
Council Bluffs , on which ho has erected
a valuable block of buildings , to bo oc
cupied as store rooms and olllccs. That
just within the curbing of the sidewalk
of the street , on which said real estate
abuts , stand iwo largo , thrifty shade
trees , which wore planted in 1850 , and
have there remained without objection
since said time. The sidewalk is fully
thit teen feet wide ; lhat said trees are
perfectly safe and sound , and oiler no
obstruction to the free use of Iho street
and sidewalk ; that said trees arc pleas
ant to the eye and afford a grateful
shade to the public , and especially so
to the plaintiff and the occupants of
said building. They also atl'ord a great
protection against lire to the plaintiff's
building and those contiguous thereto ,
and voulcl greatly tend to prevent the
spread of a con Hag ration ; that the com
mon council of said city , an the loth
day of December , 187C , passed Iho fol
lowing :
"Resolved by Iho common council ,
Thai all wooden posls and Irecs
standing on Broadway , between
Madison and Con tor slreels , bo and
Iho same are hereby declared nuisances ,
and Iho marshal is hereby instructed
to abate the same. " That the marshal
of said city in pursuance to said reso
lution is about to cut down said trees ,
which are nol in facl a nuisance , and
have never been so adjudged in any
legal proceeding. An injunction was
asked. No answer or pleading of any
kind was liled by defendant. A re
straining order , temporary in its na
ture , was granted and afterward an in
junction was refused , and it was or
dered that unless an appeal to this
court was perfected within ten days
said restraining order should bo va
cated , The plainlilT appeals.
Leonard Everol and B.V. . Ilighl ap
peared for appellant , and G. A. Holmes
for appellee. The courl ruled as fol-
lowv. Under Iho allegations of the pe
tition , which in the absence of any de
nial must bo taken as true , these trees
do not constitute a nuisance , and they
do nol constitute an obstruction to the
travel along said street unless the mere
facl Unit the city council huve declared
them so. So far from being so they are
botli useful and ornamental. It has
been the policy of the state to encour
age the growth of trees outside of eity
limits , and the habits and customs of
the Inhabitants of the towns and pities
of the state have been such that many
of such cities and towns now have a
generous supply of shade trees within
their borders. There IB no statute de
claring trees in a street or highway a
nuisance. Nor do wo believe such to
bo true al common Ir.w. Counsel have
cilcd us lo no adjudicated case so hold
ing. Thai an obstruction , whether il
be u tree or something else , in a high
way or street is or may be a nuisance ,
tlioro is no doubt the law so declares.
But it must amount to an obstruction to
the traveling public. UnJor the alle
gations in the petition , however , wo ar
rive at the conclusion , without serious
doubt or hesitation , that the trees in
question do nol constitute an obstruc
tion to such public , and therefore are
not nuisances , The ruling below is re
versed and the cause remanded , with
directions to grant the injunction upon
bunh terms as are equitable.
More Soared Tiiau Hurt ,
Thnro was a lively runaway on First
street about noon yesterday. Jacob
Sollor's hoi'bo became unmaiUigeublo and
dashed down the street at a furious gait.
As ho reached Broadway u street car
wns pn slng , nnd the frightened nntinnl
plunged headlong against It , throwing
the car from the track and knocking
the mules olT their feet. The runaway
fell and silt ! under tlio car , where ho
was held fast. On being released the
flighty brute was found to bobutsHghtly
scratched. The passengers in the
street car were considerably shaken up ,
but none of them wore seriously injured.
Mr. Seller's back was severely sprained
by being thrown from the wagon , but
Ills other injuries were very slight.
lilt escape from scrlo > s injury was very

Boston Advertiser : " "What is the o-
crelof handling alj i'ry "
This was the ( | ueBtimi put to an tie-
comulished inombeofrtho Suffolk bar.
"First , n gooit lawyer looks over his
jury , " was the reply , "and selects one
man whom ho must1 ttilk directly to
occasionally there , may be two men ,
but under orditmry circumstances
there is one man inllie jury who will by
his superior intelligence and strength
of individuality load nil the rest. To
this man alone th < 3 shrewd lawyer ml-
dress ( s himself and the juror becomes
Mattered by the distinction , feeling that
the whole matter routs upon him , that
ho alone , in the liuvyurV eye , possesses
qualities superior to'his follow jurors.
This distinction to a large extent has
the effect of creating a friendship be
tween the lawyer nnd the juror , and
ultimately ends in the lawyerV favor
when the jury shnll have retired for
consultation.
"A jury lawyer must be a man of
largo general information. He must
know history , science , art , literature ,
light and heavyHe must keep in step
with the limes in everything. Ho must
'
always be fertile with' illustration , hu
mor , pathos , Incident. Anything that
will intcresl his jurors and give them
lo bolicvo tnat he is a man of broad
knowledge. A wise man. In truth , a
philosopher.
"Tho jury want little of law , because
they know nothing of precedent. Show
them in plain bill allractlve language
Iho common souse side of Iho story , and
dwell on unimportant parts ; talk about
the juror's business ; tell him his re
sponsibility ; make him think he is put
llicro because of his wisdom ; lalk to
him about Iho benevolence of goneros-
ily ; give humanity a largo heart ; work
on his sympathies.
"But there is a very essential p-irt of
a case in the impanelling of a jury.
"Thus , if you have a ease where' your
client has boon wronged get as many
old men on the panel as possible. Old
men have passed through suffering.
They Know what it is to bo oppressed.
They have families of their own , and
they will Mdo with the weak as against
the strong. Your client is oppressed
you gain a verdict.
"If you have a case of crime got
young men on the jury and men from
' '
'tho laboring classes. 'The aristocracy
believe that there is not enough law ,
and Ihuy demand the fullest penalties ,
The mechanic and laborer of the lower
class , feeling the oppression of his people
ple , thinks Iherc is too much law and
his sympathies are with the criminal.
In murder cases you can startle a juror
by telling him of the possible damna
tion he will receive in the next world
for hanging an innocent man. He will
not give a verdict for death.
"Great care should bo employed in
the preparation of evidence. A lawyer
may enter a court-room with a theory
to carry out in the trial , and after ho
has advanced for an hour , discover thai
his clienl has given him a wrong story
or an incomplete One. Here is the
period in the ea o when a man must be
quick-wilted and turn without breaking
ul once into the correct line of prouoil-
ure. If ho is not quick , his opponent
will overthrow hir.j. . It , is like a war of
athletes training lirsti , agility and wit
Ihroughoul esscnliajs. . ,
"A lawyer musl npvoi" dispise his an
tagonist. There are two sides to every
queslion. Win on the "merits of your
evidence and intelligence. Lot no
prejudice appear be cool , bo kind offend -
fond no man's dignity.Make your jury
think thai your whoTb soul is in Uie
case. Treat a small , case with as much
euro as a large one. * Treat a poor man
as fair as the rich. ' There are many
magiiilicenl poinls of law which arise
oul of the small cases. No great lawyer
over undertook anything small or largo
without centering his mind and power
in it. Try to win every caso.
"All men are not necessarily success-
'ul because of their technical knowledge
) f law. The success of Benjamin F. But-
.cr lies in his general knowledge , the
vcrsalilly of his intollecl more than in
lis profound legal training. But-
cr had a ea e once against
the government , in which he ap
peared , to defend certain Boston
importers - > f the charge that they wore
receiving kid gloves from Vienna , un
dervalued at the custom house. The
trial was occasioned by New York im
porters claiming that the Boston im
porters could undersell them because -
cause their goods were undervalued
and entered the port at a low duty.
"Butler made these points : First ,
that the gloves wore made for Ameri
cans. That the lingers of the people of
Vienna wore shorter and thicker than
the fingers' of Iho Americans. Thai the
lingers of the Americans were long and
slondor. That the gloves made in Vi
enna for Americans would not bo bought
in Vienna. That if they were put up
at auction in Vienna they would bring
hardly anything. Therefore the true
value of the gloves in Vienna was lower
even than the duty valuation at the
port of Boston , and the shrewd lawyer 1
won his case. "

Tlio Two Campaign
Ballimoro American : The domocralic
fight was in the hands of its best mana
gers. General Barnum was the Jliiun-
eial member of the directing linn. He
supplied the funds , kept the ollico-hold-
ors in line and attended to such work as
falls to Iho lot of Iho financial head of
any business concern.
Arthur P. Gorman was the head and
body of the campaign management , and
wbalovor crcdil is due belongs lo him.
From a room in the Fifth Avenue hotel '
the domocralie campaign was directed
by the senator from Maryland. All dele
gations sought him ; 'all ' conferences
were with him , and'if ' the loss of this
lighl is to bo altrilnUodj to a lack of ex
ecutive abilily , Iho shrewd Arthur P.
4
Gorman must comq , in for the lion's
share of hlumo. When , in 1884 , Senator
Gorman soul throughout the country a
memorable mcssagcito the faithful thai
Cleveland had beouoldctodho _ received
about all Iho pralseJforjtho victory. At
that time the election Jiad not boon de
cided , and apparently Miero was no real
foundation for the tlnun. But , as it
afterward turned out thai Cleveland had
won by n plurality 'of less than 1,100
votes , the rank and Hie generally cred
ited Gorman at thai time with the abil
ity that wonand the determination thai
held to a victory achieved. His reputa
tion as a politician was great not only
in his own state , but throughout the
whole country.
To-day Senator Gorman is among the
defeated. Of nil these who have felt
Iho pangs of defeal , Gorman feels them
the mosl keenly. Cleveland was like
Napoleon I a man of destiny. The
Frenchman saw his Waterloo , and the
proud pacer , ) f Buffalo lias stumbled in
Kings County , while Gorman , whoso
name four years ago was the signal for
applause , has gone down under the
superior generalship pf a Pennsylvania
Senator. Luck sometimes leaves its
favorites. Destiny fails to destine.
The supposed shrewdest Democratic
politician in this country hus failed to
elect his party candidates , and por-
liapi from now on but little will bo
heard of the unconquerable sagacity of
the Miuvtluml Senator.
Now , if we judge by the results , Gor1
man must have been venkdr than the
head of the Kenublinui Campaign Com
mittee , Indeed , in so far 113 tlio
results prove anything , Quay ol ano
seems to have been stronger than the
Democratic combination Gor mini ,
Brk-o nnd Bnrnuni. With the fall
of Gorman as a national nnnnger comes
the rise of Senator Quay. Tlio Repub
lican national party owes Senator Quay
inesllmablo gralilude. From a very
early hour In the morning llll a very
Into hour of the night , he has boon al
hi * desk. Unless he possesses great
power of recuperation.'nairman cjanj'a
health hns been seriously impair.nl.
Three weeks ago he said ;
"I wish the election wnsnearathanil.
I am worn oul and sick. "
He looked like an overworked man ,
nnd yet he never let up for a moment.
Processions passed the building in
which the chairman sat , but he did not
oven raise the eurtnins to look out. Dis
tinguished republicans sought him In
vain. Reporters called nnd learned
nothing. Uiu-easonablo partisans
charged him with every political crime ,
with the single exception of murder ;
but the cool , culeulallng chairman
merely worked harder. Ho was to be
arrested , but he anticipated no defense.
Ho was to be waylaid , but his usual
route from the Everett house to head
quarters was not changed. No such u
character had ever been known to the
other members of the eommitloo. He
volunteered nothing. Ho gave every
man his ear , but few his tongue.
Through all of the campaign , while
Brice was strutting the corridors of the
Fifth avenue hotel , there was no one
who could point out the republican
chairman. He was never seen about
the hotels , and seldom seen tit all.
Nothing perple.xed htm , nothing sur
prised him. Ho was never jubilant ,
never depressed. He conducted the
campaign successfully against many
odds , ( to was always without the funds
neccs-siiry to conduct a vigorous light.
That was the only discouraging feature
of the republican campaign. He nnd
thousands of money agairst him. but he
did his level best , and to-day Mallhow
S. Quay stands the prominent liguro of
the hour as a political manager. Be
sides , Chairman Quay bad staked all
his earthly possessions , with a trilling
exception , upon the result of his work.
"If we lose the fight,1' said ono of the
clerks , "our chairman will have to walk
to Philadelphia. I hear he has everything -
thing but his hat on the result. ' ' It 'is
safe to say that Chairman Quay has won
a great reputation and nbout $10(1,009 ( on
Uie light.
Just as in 1S8J , there arc now a doren
different combinations claiming the
credit of Iho victory. The pluralit.vis |
just small enough to convince each fac-
lion thai ils vole was Iho deciding fac
tor.
One Knot
Is worth a column of rhetoric , said tin
American statesman. It is a fact , es
tablished by the testimony of thousands
of people , thai Hood's Sarsaparilla does
cure scrofula , sail rheum , ami other dis
eases or affections arising from impure
state or low condition of the blood. It
also overcomes that tired feeling ,
creates a good appetite , and gives
strength to every part of the system.
Try it.
