that ho could get f 1,000 for the lots , and so

Judge Field this morning rendered his de
cision In the suit of John Fitzgerald vs the
Fitzgerald & Million- construction company
of Iowa , and the Missouri Pncilio railway
company. The decision was only on 1111 ap
plication to remove this cnusc , in which largo
interests are involved , from the district court
of Lancaster county to the federal court ;
niul the Judge denied the application , retain
ing the cause for trial in the state courts.
Tlio 1udgo stated the reason for his decision
as follows- The application for removal was
on two grounds lirst , because a federal
question was said to bo Involved ; and , second
end , because of diverse state citizenship of
the parties. On the first matter it was al
leged that the right of way of the road had
not been taken under tlio federal
statute , put by condemnation under
the laws of Kansas. He , however ,
could not see that any con
troversy nroso hero. It was said that under
the circumstances the construction of the
federal statute would have to be an incident
in the trial ; but plaintiffs and defendants
agreed as to its construction , and plaintiffs
nllcccd their willingness to pay all of the ex
penses connected with the right-of-way , not
relying upon the condemnation under the
Kansas law. As to the citizenship , the court
hold that the defendant railway company is
n citizen of Nebraska , and BO is John Kilz-
porald. These are the parties really in con
troversy , the accounting asked for in this
cause being with the railway company , and
; nol with the Fitzgerald < fc Mallory construc
tion company. Tlio question of citizenship
ho did not , therefore , think arose and so re
tained the cause in the district
court It will bo remembered that
this case involves nearly or quite
$1,500,000 worth of property. The supposi
tion is strong that the case will bo taken into
the federal courts regardless of the decis
ion , aud if so the sublime spectacle may bo
witnessed of seeing the sumo case on trial in
the state and federal courts. That is , the de
fendant railway company has the power so
to proceed.
The Paden vs Paden divorce case drags
its weary length along. Hut It affords Judge
ilroady a world of amusement , and there is
no danger of ennui on his Dart , or that of the
spectators. This case Is decidedly the raci
est that over found its way into the district
court of Lancaster county.

William Williams , charged with grand lar
ceny by Henry Ln French , was given a pre
liminary examination before Judge Stewart
this afternoon. This case was brought from
West Oak precinct to the county court by
consent of parties. It seems that Williams
has been farming a piece of land owned
by the complaining witness , and
that they liavo been warring
for several weeks past over rentals , which
finally culminated in * formal complaint be
fore a Justice of the peace on the charge as
stated , Mr. La French alleging that Williams
lind stolen corn from him nt divers times ,
uniounting in value to t.r > ( i.7f , some of which
ho marketed at Valparaiso , Saundcrs county ,
pocketed the proceeds and failed and re
fused to account for the same. Williams , '
when Arraigned , plead not guilty to the
charge , The c.nso attracts the attention of
the entire neighborhood , and the array of
witnesses for and against is ijulto large.
Williams' friends say that the complaint is
nothing mnro than malicious persecution ,
while the other side says that Williams Is
undoubtedly guilty , ns charged ,

MYERS-WANTS SHANE'S ' HEAD

Myors U'nnts n Head.
Those who have been patiently watching
and waiting for several days , were rewarded
yesterday by the sudden explosion of a
sensation in the board of county commission
ers , which promises some very racy develop
ments. Things are not so smooth , peaceable
and right out nt the now county hospital
building ns the community nt large might
suppose. Kvcr since last Monday , when the
commissioners nnd Architect Myers made
tin inspection of the structure , inunoiidocs ,
grave allegations nml bold threats have been
Moating around promiscuously. Wobncsday
night Mr. Myers said to n UIE : re
porter that Superintendent Shnno and
his assistant , Charles Hess , would
bo discharged and that tin proposed to Insist
upon It. This morning the board was called
together in extra session when Mr , Myers
laid before them the folio wing documents :
To the Honorable Hoard of County Com
missioners Gentlemen : Permit mo to call
your attention to the fact that owing to the
unsafe manner in which Important work of
the Douglas county asylum is left nnd ex
posed , there is a liability of the destruction
of portions of the building ; and , believing
that the same has been tolerated to be left
in n dangerous condition by tlioso whoso
duty it has been to see that
every precaution is taken in the most careful
manner to protect the county's interest and
welfare ; and believing also that the welfare
nnd protection of the county property on
said building nnd for my protection as the
nrchitect of said building. 1 do , In the dis
charge of my duty , request that the superin
tendent nnd his assistant on said building be
discharged , and asl : that your board concur
herewith. Very truly yours ,
K. K. Mr nits ,
For E. E. Myers ft Son , architects of Doug
las county asylum
That its reading created some surprise can
easily be Imagined. Mr. Shane was present ,
nnd n madder man never lelt that room , He
was asked to make u statement but declined ,
saying :
"I am not inn condition to say anything
now. Will see you and give uiy side of the
story later. "
As the gentleman said this , his face was
pale , his lips trembled nnd the boiling rugo
within danced nnd gleamed In his eyes.
Mr. Myers was asked for a more minute
nnd detailed account of his grievance than
is given in the petition.
"I can only say In n general way , " be re
plied , "that this man has boon doing every
thing in his power to Injure me. His work
on the building and efforts to have the roof
condemned show it and I do not propose to
submit any longer. As the architect 1 have
a right to demand his resignation. "
"According to Mr. Myers' statement ,
which ho had verified by > Dan Condon , Mr.
Hegan nnd others , Shnno lias been
opposed to his securing icontrncts
for the plans of public build
ings in Douglas county. He has
always claimed that the roof to this particu
lar structure was not safe , that It was liable
to fall nt any time or blow off , consequently
the commissioners , workmen , and everybody
were considerably agitated oVer the affair.
Last summer , it will bo remembered that
the board. Shane , Condon , Dennis Cunning
ham , and Commissioners Mount nnd
O'Kceffe , visited Myers at Detroit , had ex
perts there examine the plans and give their
opinions. John II. Wagner , of Chicago ,
was also called into service. All
these experts sustained Myers , nnd
said the roof was a safe one. Condon as
serted yesterday that while cnronte from
Detroit and Chicago , and after being de
feated in his efforts , Shane said ho would
resign. This ho did later , but the resigna
tion was not accepted.
Myers says that the superintendent has
token careful pains to send newspaper clip
pings , reflecting upon him to many points
throughout the country where ho is compet
ing for business , solely to injure him.
Assertions nro freely made that Shane has
left the roof ia such condition that a heavy
wind might easily wreck it. The examina
tion on Monday , says Mr. Meyers , "revealed
to me ns well us to the commissioners nud
others that the spaces between tlie tops
of the walls nnd the roof sheets ,
an opening ono foot in width
bus never been filled up with material as It
should have oeen. However the roof stays
on , though all hands agree that by reason of
this uncomulotcd work the building might
hnvo suffered greatly. It is given out
further that the Job Is not an extra good ono.
The commissioners nro non-com mi tal
about the matter. Mr. O'Kceffe ' said
yesterday that a great deal of talk had
been made about the work and now an op
portunity is offered to find out whether it
has been done according to contract.
Myers' communication was referred to the
committee of the whole , and all parties will
bo given a chance to be
heard. Condon intimated , In fact ,
made the bold statement ihut
Shane's action nil along has been based upon
a desire upon his part to assist the Hall ,
Kctchiini & Co. iron wonts , of Indianapolis ,
in securing favorable contracts.
The affair has created much excitement ; In
county circles and it may produce some un
expected results. Myers and Shane have
both got their lighting clothes on.
At a meeting of the commissioners yester
day afternoon Architect Meyers submitted a
bill of fi'JO for expenses of coming hero from
Detroit. It was referred to the committee
on construction.
There was also a brief discussion about
ceiling arches for nine rooms in the hospital.
The plans and specifications wore vague ,
and the commissioners were in doubt
whether the arches should bo of iron or of
of brick. Architect Meyers intended that
they should bo of the latter material. In
order to settle the matter ho appointed
Henry Voss , a local architect , nnd the chair
man of the board of commissioners was in
structed to get ono member of the firm of
Mendelssohn , Lowrio & Fisher , to act in
conjunction with Voss , These two archi
tects will examine the plans and go totho
hospital building to determine whether
the arches are to bo of brick or of Iron.
IB MA Kill AGIO A FAILUIUS ?
It Seems to liavo Been Such in Dire ,
KHROIIO O'Neill'H Cute.
A racy divorce suit , O'Neill against
O'Neill ' , is attracting Judge Wakcloy's atten
tion , with Judge Doano as an Interested
spectator. The parties tire wrinkled and old
people , Isabella O'Neill , accuses her hus
band , Kugono O'Neill , of treatment that
drove her trom him. For twenty-six years
they lived together ih harmony nnd happi
ness. Finally the old man brought a pretty
nloco to live with them , and from that day
trouble reigned , The testimony of the old
lady shows that she entertained great
Jealousy of Mary James , the pretty girl at
the bottom of the trouble. She alleges that
her husband attempted to seduce the young
woman on promises of silks and satins ; she
had ninny times sut on her porch rock
ing , crying , mooning and often saying
that she was afraid the old man would beat
her. A young fireman from No. 1 onelno
house , which is located opposite the O'Neill
rcsldence.tcstificd that ho bad often soon the
poor woman crying ; had seen her repeatedly
cooking her breakfast out In the yard , and
many an evening while she sat on her porch
ho had seen the gay but aged husband put
this pretty niece In the buggy and go off rid
ing , sometimes as late as U o'clock at nielit.
The charge of abuse from both her husband
nnd the girl , Is made by Mrs. O'Neill. On
the other hand it was shown that the latter
had driven the pretty niece out of her house ,
and that she deliberately loft her husband.
They had quarreled often but no violence
was over used.
James Thomas , the young man on trial be
fore Judge Groff for burglary , came into
courc looking bright , with his face cleanly
shaven. Evidently James' career has not
been a successful one. In this case ho is ac
cused of having broken into a baru belonging
to Jacob -Mumaugh on the night of Decem
ber 1 , last year. In this barn was stored a
trunk containing clothing , It was rilled of
Its contents. Tlio Information states tuo
clothes were found in Thomas' possession ,
The morning after the robbery tilt
Mumaugh found the trunk nt
the rear of the burn in n
mutilated condition , The prisoner's attor
ney Informed tbo Jury that ho set up a gen
eral denial to all these charges , and would
show that the goods referred to cnmo Into
Thomas' possession honestly. Mumaugh
was the first witness. During the recital of
his story ho spoke of hnvlnir seen two of the
stolen shirts on "on that man" ( looking to
ward the prisoner ) , when ho was arrested
and taken to the police station. On the
strength of this rofemneo his honor Im
proved the opportunity to playu Joke on the
reporters , Looking hard nt them ho asked
the witness to point out which man ho meant.
In the trial of .this case the court ,
Jury , nnd everybody else had n
very difficult time hearing what
the defense had to sny. The prisoner's law
yer persisted in talking so low that no could
not uo heard n distance of live feet. The
Judge repeatedly ordered him to speak ui ) .
nnd finally becoming Impatient made him
stand back thirty feet from the witness.
The Jury returned a verdict of guilty with
out leaving their seats.
The case of Mrs. Knthcrlno MeKcnna
ngalnst Charles Stortz , was on trial before
Judge Itopewcll. She seeks lo recover dam
ages from him by rcasonof the failure of her
husband to support her , this failure being
brought about by the sale to him of intoxi
cating liquors by defendant , nnd against her
remonstrance. Considerable difficulty was
encountered In securing a satisfactory Jury.
Judco Doano had no cases ready for trial.

Kansas Goal Unto ? .
TOPKKA , Feb. 31. [ Special Telegram to
TIIK BiiE.J The Kansas board of railway
commissioners held a meeting yesterday for
the purpose of taking into consideration the
question of a reduction of coal rates charged
by tbo railroads within the state of Kansas ,
in compliance with the instructions contained
in a concurrent resolution of the legislature ,
and also to hear the complaint of the coal
mlno operators of Kansas , that a discrimina
tion is practiced against their conl. All the
railroads of the state are represented. Tlio
conl operators claimed that rates on coal in
Kansas are from SO to 50 per cent higher
than in Illinois , Missouri and
Iowa , and that such low rates
had been given to Iowa , Missouri
and Colorado coal companies that
they were enabled to come into Kansas and
take the business. This , they claimed , was
ruining the business of the Kansas inino op
erators , and they ask the railroad commis
sioners to come to their relief. The rail
roads admitted that the rates in Kansas
were higher , but said It was necessary to
give the outside companies lower rates or
they would bo shut out of the state , After
n general discussion of the question Involved
it was decided to bold an adjourned meeting
nt Lcuvcnworth , March 5 , nt which tune the
board will submit to the various railroad
companies a revised coal tariff which will re
duce coal rates about 25 par cent.

It li reported that the managers of the
leading theatrical companies will meet In
Chicago about March 1 and consider the
matter of special passenger rates for the
atrical troupes , Ax n meeting of the presi
dents of the various roads , held in New York
January 1 , it was decided to inaugurate
uniform rates to npply on nil passenger
trafllc. In view of this , the Western States
passenger association adopted n uniform
rate-sheet , thereby abolishing any iiroviso
for special rates for theatrical companies ,
or any other class of Individuals , that ex
isted prior to this agreement. Formerly ,
where competition was rife , the theatrical
companies were often given special rates ,
and , aside from this , their baggage nud
scenery were conveyed in biwgngc cars with
out ndditionnl expense. A new arrangement
has been entered into whereby the theatri
cal companies , or any other cotcrio of indi
viduals can have n baggage car placed at
their service at U. > cents per mllu , regardless
of the quantity of material carried , the rate
being regulated in car load lots. As regards
the report that in case special inducements
were not given theatrical troopo the mana
gers of the same at Its mooting , in Chicago ,
to bo held March 1 , would decide not to bring
their companies west of Chicago an olllclal
said ; "That is all bosh. The new arrange
ment may stop seine of tlio Inferior troops
from coming liore , and , if such be the case ,
the thcatrc-goinir public of Omaha and else
where will bo benolUtcu. Good legitimate
opera companies will CDIIIO hero Just the
same. At any hazard our rates will bo main
tained , and will apply on the theatrical people
ple the same ns It docs upon the general pub
lic.
I'ncillo Knmling Itill.
The recommitting of the Pacific funding
bill to the committee by the senate has
caused the prediction of its ultimate defeat
by its supporters in Omaha and especially by
those among the Union Pacillo ofticials. Gen
eral Manager Kimball , when usked what
bearing the recommitment would hnvo on
the prospective improvements of the com
pany , said : "It is a serious mutter to the
Union Pacific and n great det
riment In tlio bill having again
been placed in tlio vaults of the
committee. Wo anticipated that it might bo
passed but now there is no telling what will
result. As to the bearing which it will have
on improvements by our company , 1 cannot
say. It liopo at least that no scmus setback
back will follow , and that we may bo allowed
to go on with certain Improvements , such as
feeders and the construction of additional
branch lines , ns wo had already decided
upon. It in , y retard our progress somewhat
but I hope not to any great extent. "
Home Manufacture.
The Union Pacific is considering the ad
visability of reviving the manufacture of car
wheels nt this place. It w.is ut one time con
ducted hero on nn extensive scale , but com
petition was strong in the cast that the prices
went down , enabling the Union Pacific to
purchase wheels for even less money than it
cost to manufacture here. In view of prices
having been restored nnd available iron
being within a radius of three hundred
miles , has revived tlio subject of homo manu
facture. General Manager Kimball slated
that nothing dcllnito in this direction 1ms , as
yet , been reached , but that it was under con
sideration. In case the company returns to
its old system the former plant adjoining the
shops will be used. A foundry for this pur
pose will also bo constructed at Cheyenne ,
where the Union Puclllc is about to con
struct new shops.
Tliolr Own Cars.
C. B. Havens & Co. , of this city , .have pur
chased 250 freight cars from a Detroit manu
factory nnd will hereafter use their own cars
in handling freight both in receiving and
shipping. The cars are of the standard size ,
being thirty-four foot in length and have a
capacity each of 50,000 pounds. It is stated
that the object in purchasing the cars out
right is to have cars available at any time
they are desired In shipping or hauling to
this point. In using the cars the linn will
pay the railroad company a stipulated amount
per mile or on the standard of weight of
freight , as the case may bo. A largo num
ber of the cars will bo received hero in a
few days. It is stated that an investment of
this kind is a money-saving undertaking.
Foster Service.
A now time card will go Into effect on the
Union Pacific Sunday which will npply on
No. 6 , east-bound between Denver and Chi

Denver is 8:30 : p. m. , and under the now reg
ulation it will depart at 9:25 : p. m. , arriving
in Omaha as before at 3:43 : p. m. , uud Coun
cil Bluffs at 4:00 : o'clock , reaching Chicago at
8:2oa. : m. , instead of nt 8:50 : , as before. This
reduces the present time between Denver
and Chicago ono hour and twenty minutes.
The ehango results In iifty-flve minutes being
saved by the train between Denver nnd
Omaha and twenty-Jive minutes between
Omaha and Chicago. This was done in order
to moot the time of the Burlington Hycr , nnd
the schedule rate Is nearly thirty-two miles
per hour between the above points.
AVI 11 Not Sign.
The blank refusal of President Fish , of
the Illinois Central , to sign the president's

point as sufllcWit to upset the combination.
They state that for the reason that the Illi
nois Central has lines to Sioux City , St.
Louis nnd Missouri river points In direct
communication with Chicago , it must bo n
member to the agreement or thu latter must
bo abandoned. _ _ _ _ _
Petition Filed.
The Union Pacific railway company ,
through its attorney , filed a petition In the
district court yesterday asking that the case
of Michael O'Brien ngninst the campany bo
removed to the United States circuit court.
O'Brien ' instituted the suit to recover $20,000
damages for alleged poreona' injuries sus
tained. The railroad company wants to tuko
the cause to the circuit court for the reason
that the sum amounts to more than $ ' . ' ,000.
