The cnso of fiatindcrs vs Haldwlnv.ii tried
before Judge Chapman this morn I up It was
nrgued and submitted. Tlio plaintiff owns
two lots In West Lincoln , an.l contracted
with tlio defendant to build Him n homo
thereon , contract price ? 1,3I2. The house
was built , und according to the plaintiff , paid
for , nnd ho came Into court asking for HP
nllowanco of $ ISO , on account of bad lumber
nnd bud workmanship and a lien which lie
liml to pay t'to material man ; also as second
ground of notion , ho asks for inn , nn account
of bad material nnd workmanship' A mini-
licr of experts were examined In support of
the claim , nnd the defendant told Ills sidu of
the Btory , which was that ho had donoiin ex
ceedingly Rood job , und that ho had not been
paid the full sum ot * l,342. Ueslilcs tlmt ,
ha had put In extras ill the request of the
plaintiff ; nnd these extras and the balance
on the main contract made a sum of S-1IS ,
which ho nskcd to ho allowed on n mechanic's
lion that ho had Hied. Ho also called experts ,
wlio told n story quite contrary to that put In
by the plaintiff. Tallinn the testimony under
mlvlscmcnt until 1 o'clock , Judge Chapman
decided that this wna a suit In which ,
If both parties had acted moro wisely mm
Jovcd moro wisely , why they would Imvo
been bettor off , substantially that they both
would bo beaten nnd that they deserved to
bo beaten. Upon consideration of the testi
mony ho considered tlicro wcro defects in
the building , but that the plaintiff had ac-
copied It. After full consideration ho do-
cltlcd to allow the defendant STfi on account
of extras , but that each side would have to
pay for Its own witnesses and costs would uo
divided between thuin.

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.

would wipe out western paoklng Industries ,

Although nbout two montbs Imvo passed
since a settlement ot tlio Durllngton strike
was effected , not n single engineer of tlio
strikers lias a * yet been tnken back or hns
been given employment ol any kind by tlio

liavo been patiently waiting n summons to

IIM been Riven by the Kurllnpton. Ono of
the strikers , In speaking of the matter , said :
"The Burlington has aqtunlly taken n snap
Judgment on the brotherhood. In the settle
ment , we did not realize that tlio terms of
the affrcflmcnt gave the HurlliiRlon such a
big scope , but after it Is too Into
wo have discovered that , whllo tlu-y
nro not inking bark nny nf tlio old
men ( strikers ) they nevertheless liavo compiled -
piled with the agreement. No , sir , nnd In
my opinion I do not tlilnlt that It intends to
take back n single ono of the boys nnd
what can wo do f Our honor Is recorded In
tlio terms of the agreement to abide by Just
what Is being done. The fact of the matter
is that our committee was short-sighted , nnd
aid not comprehend the terms of the agree
ment In their proper light. It should liavo
Bpoclllcd n preference for brotherhood men
over unskilled labor , nnd , in place of promo
tion of unskilled llromen. Under the pres
ent condition of affairs , the liurllngton has
two available nets of men for engineers ,
the engineers proper nnd the firemen , to pro
mote in case of a vacancy. Engineers will
not go in as llremcn , and as n consequence
the brotherhood Is shutout by the Hurling-
ton. Wo liavo filed applications for positions ,
but with this the matter rests.
Inquiry ut other points noes to show that the
strikers liavo become disgusted with the
state of affairs , and nro migrating to other
climes lu quest of work.

Captain W. K. 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

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

TUB DAY IN THIS COUUTS.
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

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.

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 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.

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. _
