WOlHi : THAN A MI'DW.H. Tlio Cook vs Coolc habeas corpus case was on trial In the county court this afternoon. At tins hour n verdict has not been reached. It will ho remembered by Tun BUR readers that Mi . Cook and one Edward Wright were arrested by Deputy Sheriff Clark at Kansas City lust week on Information .filed by Joseph Cooit , charging them with grand larceny and adultery. Last August Mrs. Coolc left her husband while ho wus on n visit to friends in Iowa , taking with her about $2l ( ) > In household effects , slnco whcu she bus lived with Wright at Aurora mid Kansas City. Four children had been born to Mr. und Mrs. Cook , two of which she took with her , while two moro left to console and comfort the liusband she deserted. To this arrangement Cook demurred. As soon us ho learned the situation of affairs on his return from Iowa , lie put officers of the law upon their track with the result , already indicated. In addi tion , however , to the complaint of larceny and adultery , ho sent out n writ of habeas corpus and is bent on having back the chil dren now hold by the \vonuin : who legally bears his naino. The Indications arc strong that ho will succeed. It is already In proof that the desertion was without cause. The woman and her paramour are practically without money or friends.

Tlbblts , ono of the oldest men In western railroad circles , called upon Omaha friends to-day. At present lie is traveling p.issongor agent of the Denver & Uio Grande , Ho has been lu the railway business for over tlilrty-Hvo years , and states that ho handled freight when Chicago was but n mud-holo for Lnko Michigan. Mr. Tlbbjts 1ms perhaps the greatest curiosity shop in the Hue of annual passes of nny rail * roud man in the country. To a reporter ho displayed his stock of this character. The llrst pass was as follows , and was given out when what Is now the Chicago , Milwaukee Si St. 1'aul contained system Just twenty-two miles of road : Milwaukee & Misslssirpl IZnilroad Tlio conductor will pass W. Tibbots , general agent M. C. H. K. until further orders. ( tiignud ) E. II. HUODHE.U ) , Supt. Aug. 20 , 1851. This pass was not the picturesque "an nual" of but small of to-day , was on u piece parchment written by the .superintendent in ink. Tlio pass is a dear trophy to the cap tain who prizes it very highly. About onu year ngo A. V. H. Carpenter of the Milwau kee road offered Ijlm § 100 for the "iittlo card" but ho declined. Ho also had in his collection of passes ono which was issued in his favor by the Elmira & Niagara road bearing the dale M85I , nnd the individual that countersigned it died twenty-llvu years ago. In 1854 the captain was general ngont of the Michigan Central , nnd ho states nt that time was vested with the power of attorney to sue nnd bo sued. Hut another curiosity which ho also displayed is an annual pass of solid silver coin on the Silvcrton road a road thirteen miles in length , plying between Silvorton and Ouray , Colo. This road is presided over by Otto Mears. nnd Is said to have no competitor save the proverbial stage coach. Its chief freight trafllo Is in handling ore , nnd.it Is said that President Mcars wonts his road regard less of existing freight rates , on u basis to correspond with the prices prevailing on ore. Last year ho issued annual passes on buck skin. This year ho issued solid silver passes , nnd next year ho declares that his annuals will bo of solid cold. The sivcr pass hold by Captain Tibblts is No. 'JS7. Pncillo Extension. The Missouri Pacific company Is about to construct n line of road across the northeast corner of Indian Territory , connecting Cof- foyvillo with Fort Smith. Tins road , which is ninety miles in length , will extend from Coffoyville to Wagner , nt which point it crosses the Missouri , Kansas & Texas and there connects with tlio Fort Smith * & Little Hock railroad. A Missouri Paeilic olllcial stated in coonnectlon with the new deal : "Yes , the contract for the construction of the road is about to be let. The survey is complete. By this , the Missouri Pacific sys tem is connected from Coffoyvillo with the Klelunoni ] Terminal system , taking in all the southeastern territory. In this alliance with the Richmond Terminal , the northwestern , southwestern and southern roads are thrown into ono system and gives them all an outlet to the seaboard. It is n bijr deal. " Tlio Union Pacific Pool. The Union Pacific has completed terms for the moving of its trains through to Sioux City using its own line to Norfolk and thence over the Sioux City & Norfolk branch of the Chicaco & Northwestern system.

This also moans n combine with tlio Elkhorn and the Sioux City & Pacific. The Injunction Case. L. H.

How tTiutRpq nnd rjltlgnnti Attracted Hcnortorlnl Attention. Things wcro gloomy ana solemn nnd damp nbout the great indwelling of Justice yesterday. Four sad-looking attorneys constituted the collection present when Judges Groff nnd IIopowoll took their scats ami Clerk Moo res commenced his one-act comedy In advance of the day's business. It was so dark In the big room that gas Jets had to bo lighted , Outside , immense clouds of smoke rolled against the windows nnd then suddenly floated away ns though disap pointed nt not having been given admission to the forum. The attorneys , witnesses mid Jurymen wcro late , n matter that seemed to displease Judge GrofT. Tlio latter took occasion to mildly reprimand the county attorney for It. The Jurymen were called to their seats nnd sworn. "Gentlemen , the case now before you for trial , " said the county attorney , "Is ono In which Harry Hlly is charged with burglary on the night of January 3 , He broke Into the apartments of Huch Ilucidns , SO' ) How ard street , and Attempted to carry away cer tain goods. Mrs. Hucklns went to the theater that night. Her husband was absent all day. About 12 o'clock ho catne homo , and on entering discovered n strange man in the hall , who struck nt him. There nnd then they clinched , struggled nnd fought , but Uuckins , who proved the bettor man , succeeded in getting his enemy out of doors and turned him over to a police officer. That party , " continued the attorney , "Is the prisoner before you. We will show that ho entered tlio house through a window and had broken open a trunk. " The prisoner makes no effort to deny the fact that lie was caught in the house , but sots tip as n defense that ho was very drunk and wholly irresponsible for anything he did. did.Mrs. Mrs. Hucklns , n buxom nnd rather nttrac- live woman , was called. She testified ns though she bad been on the witness stand before. After describing her place of abode. and stutinir on the night in question she had. locked everything tightly , she said : "i wont out about y o'clock. " "Where did you go to I" "The Mtt-cce. " "Alone ? " "No , with a lady friend. " Tlio prisoner's attorney tried to tangle Mrs. Huckins on cross-examination , but soon found himself floundering in a hopeless con dition. Mrs. Huoklns xvoro a dark blue dress , Jaunty bonnet , heavy curling bangs and a- fur-lined velvet cloak , made up according to the latest fashion plate style. The Jury trying this case is composed of Walter Clark , John Hinsman , J. S. Wright. A. F. Mnyne , M. McCarty , George Medlock , Maurice , Sullivan , P. Hurley. Frank Mc- Grath , Dan McIJrido , Dan O'KeofCo ' and F. M. King. No criminal cases will bo tried before Judge Groff this morning. The first case next week will be called Tuesday morning , when Dick Grandon , charged with stabbing , with Intent to kill , will bo put upon trial. The burglary case of the state against Harry Hy ley was concluded nt 8:30 : o'clock and given to the Jury , which is still out in its deliberations. Joe Hell , a man from LoMars. la , , who was charged with highway robbery , was arraigned before Judge GrolT yesterday af ternoon. County Attorney Mnhonoy dis missed the case , ns tnoru was not sunk-ion t evidence to prosecute Hell. The complain ing witness was Nellie Scott , a disreputable colored female. In thn Equity Branch.

Tzschuck , plain tiff , ana Edgar Zabriski being the parties to the same. Some close and fine points of law are involved. The case was tried before Judge Doanc , and since transferred to the equity docket on demurrer by the defendant. The transaction out of which this suit be came a fuct , took place in September , 18SO. Judge Wakcley called the docket and hoard statements from a number of attor neys regarding their case.

The following cases were disposed of : Voss vs Clark , consolidated with another case. case.Hajek vs Hascall , dismissed by plaintiff. Lowe vs Omaha , continued to ono week from next Monday. Hess vs ICby ot al. , continued for thirty days. The Lowe-city controversy promises to bo fraught with considerable interest. General Lowe brings the notion for-5,00ll ! damages , which ho claims has been done his property by reason of grading Hurnoy , Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets , on tlio three sides of it , nnd leaving his baronial old residence hlgli and dry on u knob and nearly out of sight. licforc J ud no Hopowoll.

WHERE THE BUILDING ISWANTED , Locutions ProbAwly to He Offered From Lower Toiuli to Twentieth nnd From Dodge to How * arilHI , reels. The Fostofflco. Intho _ telegraph columns of Tnc Bnn , ol yesterday appeared n telegram from Washing , ton setting forth that oids for the proposed site of the new postofllco will bo received until the 23d of this month. The informa tion comes In n letter addressed to Senator Mandorson by W. A. Ferrott , supervising architect of the government at Washington. The news was unexpectedJand , , following so soon after the action taken by the board of trade in the matter , shows , in the estimation ot most people who have considered the sub ject that Senator Mandorson has acted In accordance with the wishes there expressed , and brought the matter to the Immediate attention of the governing authorities. Still further proof of this is evidenced by the fact that the proposals for the situ in question nro to bo opened nt so early n date. It Is evidence that , at least , ns far as Senator Mnnderson rtnd the archltcctual department of thq govern ment nro concerned , the work will bo put under way at ns early u date us possible. It Is stated that the property of fered must bo of ono of iwo sizes either'.300x250 foot If n corner lot , or If It bo not a corner lot It must bo 200x2'jO ' foot. The latter dimensions have attracted some atten tion because it would bo Impossible to satisfy them by any square in the city a : present , the largest quadrangle at the present time having , including the width of the alloy , but USO foot. If this determination should bo persisted in , the extra ten feet could bo secured only by cutting llvo feet olT each of the two streets or ten foot from one strool froutaeo. It Is also noticed tlmt thcso proposals will bo received nt the oQlco of the postmaster in this city. This of course will save n great deal of time which would otherwise bo consumed in transmission to Washington. The telegram referred to attracted very general attention among the real estate and business men of Omaha , many of whom for some time past have been secretly securing favorable options upon sites advantageous to themselves , or which the owners desire to sell. These sites are numerous , nnd include u number of valuable blocks in the business part of town. Some people have spoken In favor of the northwest corner of Sixteenth nnd Douglas streets , which is , in n largo part , the property of the Folsom cstato. Others liavo spoken in favor of what Is known in favor of what is known as the Planters house corner at Sixteenth nnd Dodgo. To those , however , objections are made on the ground that the Folsom cstato will ilot have been apportioned according to the manner now In progress prior to April 1 , before which time it Is thought that the proposed site will liavo been selected The Hoagland property on Sixteenth and St. Mary's avenue , including Landrock's nt Seventeenth and St. Mary's avenuetogether with the Lowe property between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets , and facing on Har tley street , has also boon referred to , and is uuposod to have a number of friends. The block facing on Farnam street and bounded on the east by Eighteenth street , as also ono further west on Farnam , have been mentioned. Still another Is the block bounded by Thirteenth , Howard , Fourteenth and Har- ney , and now covered with a number of buildings , some of which are not considered very valuable. On Capitol avenue nnd Sixteenth street north of the former thoroughfare is a block which is thought well of by n number , the main objection being that it contains some valuable buildings. The Jobbing men of the city hava been seoa and it is estimated that nine out of ten of them nro well disposed to the prop erty on the southeast corner of Tenth and Farnam streets. This property is prac tically unincuinbered with buildings in greater part. The general impression seems to bo that a square between Seventeenth and Twentieth and Dodge and Douglas streets should bo se lected. It is claimed that a square within this ter ritory could bo purchased for perhaps n lit tle more than ono-half of the 400,000 nlloted for this purpose , hut Ihat after the purchase the property would bo valued at double that amount. Seine grading would bo required in order to adapt thcso sites to the surroundintr locality , and also possibly to tlio erection of the building , but It is stated that this grading could bo dona for less than S.'KOOU. ) , The subject to-day has boon pretty generally canvassed und it Is expected that before the 23d the proposals tiled with the local post master will bo far in excess of tUo number at first anticipated. _ For Brain l < 'ng.
