Business men of Otnalm were out in for <
* laitnlRlit , nml coinplotoly tUlca the cxpog
lion hnll to give expression to their views i
to the proper site for the new postonici
Though no vote VTM taken , the scntunon
of the mooting was decidedly In favor of
location on Farnam street if possible , nntl
not , south of that thoroughfare and wo t o
Sixtcontli street , with the Lowe nnd Hoflfl
land property llrst choice. A few disnm1
led Jcffcraoti sijiiaro boodlcrs were prcs.cn
but never named the scene of their rccoi
defeat. Jim Crelgliton recited a sentence c
or two in f.ivor of n north side site , an
"Major" Furay spent tils evening in cnllln
"time" on speakers more favorably receive
thnn himself , when they mentioned any sit
eoulli of ' ' ' .irnnm street.
Slioii after 8 o'clock Postmaster Gallr
glicrcillcil the ineelliig to order , and the
Fred W. Gray was clioscn chairman wit
Gcorpo W Ames secretary. Mr. Liuton c :
plained the purpose of the inoctlng. Spcal
ers wcro limlteil to live minuses each.
John D. Unwe favored the corner of Eigl
tccntli and Farnam streets. Ho thought a
the public buildings of the city should bo r
closely together as possible , ami that a pos
ofllco In that location would best servo the h
tcrcsts of the public.
Jim Crelgliton wanted it near the preset :
site , where he has property on the north siilt
IIu reeoiinneiiiled block 5'J , and did not tult
live minutes to do so ,
"Major" John U. Furay claimed to have n
property within n miio and a half of the DOS
ofllco , but thought It should go where h !
friend Crulghton said.
Andrew Kosewater said that less than tw
months ago ho had been called upon to spc.i
in reference to the city hall Bite. At tlni
tune a clique had endeavored to pcrsuad
themselves and the voters that business wa
growing northward , but 11,000 voters out o
the 18,000 in the city had decided to the con
trary. The center of population was no
going north , but rather to the south.Vhei
South Omaha becomes a portion of the cit ,
as it will , the center of Oimiha will be dl
i cctly south of Farnam street.
The proposed building was to bo
postoftlce , court house , government Imildiii
and custom house. At u court house i
flhould be near the county building , as
government building the collector of revcnu
.should be where he could bo easily found
and as a custom house it should bo sluiatci
In the business center of the city , not enl ;
the center of to-day , but that of years ti
come. Ho favored Lowe square.
Judge Neville had an interest in a lo
offered the government , but preferred Iho
should not take it. Ho thought the nev
postonico should bo as near to the prcscn
site as possible. The government itsel
would best bo served by placing the nev
building alongside of the old one , and so In
creasing the value of both properties.
A. J. 1'opploton said his first choice was
between Macth , Tenth , Farnaui and Har
noy sticets , anil second the Planter house
Ulock. Three national banks , two railroads
and a number of citizens weie in favor of ttu
ilrst site , mid as ho had put Si,00(1 ( In the pros
cnt site , ho wanted the now one to bo either
one or the other. He dal want to sccitgi
upon the hill. Judge Neville had rcsignei
his position , because ho was unequal to the
task of climbing the hill to the present court
house , anil judging from that it would bi
death to u great many citbens if they hud ti
climb the same hill to get their mail. Tlu
poslofllco had already been moved once 01
twice , but the only time it had over KOIII
west of Fifteenth street , was when Post
master A. D. Jones had carried it in his lint
A. D. Jones spolto of the early days , am1
said that whenever the postofllco made :
permanent move it wont west. When the
present situ wus selected it seemed too fat
west , hut time had shown the fallacy of tin
thought. Ho favored the Lowe and Hoixg.
land site.
G. M. Hitchcock broke the monotony ol
the meeting by asking permission to put ti
resolution , somewhat foreign to the object ol
the meeting. As no one objected , he put the
following :
Resolved , That the property owners ol
Omaha , In mass meeting assembled , request
the members of the Douglas county dclega
lion to vote for and work for the provision ol
the charter compelling street cur companies
to pave between tracks and twelve inches
outside.
Mr. Paddock objected that H was not the
business of the meeting to consider any sucli
resolution.
A. J. Popploton said It was discourteous to
the representative of the government present
to introduce anything so entirely foreign to
the purposes of Uni meeting.
Dr. Mercer said it was unfair. It was a
short cut to make the meeting Indorse some
thing that would bo unjust to the street car
comimnlbR , anil to cit/ons. ! An uproar fol
lowed , and while the doctor kept the floor ,
bo could only bo hoard occasionally. Among
the sentences that rcauhud the reporter's
ours were , "thoso wno invested in outside
lots , " "compelled to walk , " and "pioii-
orty depreciate 50 per cent. "
The chtirman llnally ruled the resolution
out of order , but five minutes had elapsed
and when Mr. Hitchcock attempted to speak !
hi ) was called to time. 'Iho chairman , hovv-
ever , gave him the privilege , and ho said his
first choice was Farnam and Twentieth
streets , with the Planter House property
BCCOIlll.
Kdwnrd Hoscwater was next called far by
the meeting and said that when ho came to
Omaha , twenty-live your * ago , the corner of
Thirteenth and Hurnoy , where the old Doug ,
las house stooiP , was looked upon p.s the cen
ter of the city , and. in fact , if the owner of
that property had been Inclined to sell it at
what then seemed to bo a reasonable ligurc ,
the postonico would Imvo probably been lo
cated tliero , Plnco then the business of the
t city had slowly and surely moved westward
. oao block west in each ilvu years and
K judging from Hint another twcnty-Uve years
r would HCO the corner of Twenty-fourth anil
Farnam the center of the city , or ut least
nearer to it than Fifteenth and Farnam , For
thu same reason that the proposed alto should
not. bo east of Sixteenth street , it should not
bo north of Parnam. Thu postonico is
for the public benellt , and for the
musses. Thu north siuo Is occupied bv the
residences of the rich wlnlo on the south the
working men live. Where on the north sldo
one rich man has a residence on tlio south
ton worltlngiiien build their cottage homes.
That is without taking South Omaha Into
consideration , but when it does como in as
goes without saying the centre of the city
will bo south of Farnnm , If tlio postonico
was to meet the requirements of the next
twenty-live years only Sixteenth and Hurnoy
would bo eligible , but 1 lit was constructed to
accommodate the cltuona for the next flfty
years the ito ut Kigliteenth and Farnam
would bo ehosen.
Dr. Mercer said the bnslncss centre of the
city wus bounded by Tenth streiit. Jackson ,
Seventeenth and Capitol avonuo. nnd that
the best Interests of the city would bo served
by catering to the wunls of the people transacting -
acting business within these limits. Besides
a silo In that locality would bo reasonably
near the depots for the purpose of transpor
tation. Ho did not think the postonico
should bo removed too far in uny one direc
tion. Ho thought block 149 , bounded by
Thirteenth , Fourteenth , Howard and Har.
ney streets , would bo a good location , with
block 87 north of the present alto his second
end choice.
John L. Carrsaiil that Omaha needed more
trackage room , and that eventually all east
of Ninth or Tenth streets would bollcvoted
to that purpose. Within ten years Twenty *
fourth street would bo nearer the center of
the city in every nunsn than Sixteenth street
is to-day. Ho thought Eighteenth anil Far-
uatn stieets wait the most eligible * site.
"Mayor1' Furay called time ami iucn loft

1C. 0. Patterson took Jndpo Ncvlllo and A.
J. Poppleton to taik for referring to the
amounts they hud contributed to the present
iiostonico Bite U for the tlmo bad drawn
business in that direction , uud they hinl re
ceived everything for winch they paid. They
had not tigriicd tliut the government should
build another M.S'U.tXX ) building911 thesame

times over for \yhat they had done. Jit
Crtlghton said that only ono'tcnth ? f th
people wcro Interested in the site , but th
govcrrlmcnt was for the people , nnd woul
look after the Interests of the other nlm
tcnthn. To do justice to that majority the
would locate the new postonico on Sixtccnt
and Hnrncy ,
I'rncU Hlall spoke of the rnnld growth o
business westward , nnd advocated the Low
block as tlrst choice , with. Farnnm strect-
"Icn If It had to bo put on top of tbo Pn5
ton building" second.
Major T. S. Ularkson wanted It on
block north of tbo present site , or In th
Planter's house block.
City Attorney WcbUcr said that the clt
was growing west nnd south , and that ever
block the nostonice was placed furtho
north would mean one block furthc
away from the mnsses. Business I
drifting westward , nnd Omaha's Intoi
boom came from the opening c
her streets to the west. Public building
should bo on the heights of land within
city , and thu government buildings shoul
never be put lower than Sixteenth anil Hni
ncy. Ho advocated the l.owu and Honglnm
site.
Judge Crotinco spoke in favor of the pro ;
cut site or vicinity.
Several other speakers were called for bu
failed to respond , and n motion to adjour
was put nnd cnrHed.

riveil upon the day named. J roportci
myself at the ollice , and I inquired i
the president elect , Mr. Lincoln , wa
present in the house. 1 was told tlm
ho was. I bout him my card and im
mediately 1 was invited to his room.
" 1 repaired to the room , the door wa
opened by the servant , and there wa
President Lincoln. Ho approached mi
with his extended hand , to which I tendered
derod mine , and that was the lirs
shako of the hand between us on earth
Wo were soon seated , and lie pro
pounded the question to mo : 'Mr
Jlumlin , wore wo over formally intro
duced to each other ? ' 'Mr. Li'ncoln. i
you would have withheld that intcrrog
atory but a second T would have pro
pounded the same to you. ' [ Laughter.
"Woll , " said Mr. Lincoln , "Mr. Ham
lin , 1 put tlio question first , and I guesi
you must answer first' ' ' and so 1 did , .
am narrating now , ! think , u most re
markable coincidence. I said : "Mi-
Lincoln I have no rbeollection that we
were ever formally . introduced to eacl
other. ' You will bear in mind that he
had been a member of congress in UK
house ono term , one congress , while !
was a member of the senate , but wi
were in different political organisations
May God forgive me I was a incmboi
of the democratic } , party then. [ Great
Laughter and Apjjlause * . ]
"Said Mr. Lincoln : 'You have been
fir.st interrogated and mint lirat reply. '
My reply was : % Nr ) ? Lincoln , I have mi
recollection that wo were ever formally
introduced to enisb other. Now , sir.
what is your answer ? ' "My answer con
forms with yourfown , Mr. Ilamlin. .1
have no recollection thai wo were ever
introduced to each other , but , ' said he
no , I aid : 'Mr. _ Lincoln , your per
son was as well known to mo as any
member of congress. " And it was , but
wo had no personal acquaintance. 'And
I will tell you how it happened that
your person was so impressed on my
mind and my memory * I happened
into the house one day when there was
a gentleman addressing that body , and
I listened a moment. lie was discuss
ing the qualifications or Ihe pretensions
of ono Lewis Cass as a military man
[ laughter ] , and I sat down and listened
to him , and tlio only fault that
I over found with that speech
was that I laughed so long and
so continuously that my sides were sore.
[ Laughter. ] And let me invite you ,
members of the La Sullo club , to refer
to the old Congressional Globe if you
waninn entertaining half-hour's read
ing in reading the speech of Abraham
Lincoln on the pretensions of Lewis
Cass as a military man. [ Laughter and-
applause. ] Woll.lhat speech impressed
Abraham Lincoln's personality upon
me. Now comes the remarkable coinci
dence. Well , said ho. Mr. Hamlin , if
you had withhold your explanation of
what led. to your recognition of myself I
would have givoi ) ono of a similar
character. I happened to bo in the
senate , said Mr. Lincoln , ono ( lay. and
there was a gentleman on tlio lloor of
the senate addressing it , advocating
the freedom of our territories to free
labor. His language , his manner , and
the whole tenor or his spoecii so corre
sponded witli my own opinions and no
tions that 1 sat down and listened to
him. And that senator was Mr. Ilam
lin , of Maine.1' [ Applause. ]

As Seen In the bight of tlie 1'rosonl
Day.
a no development nnd improvementof
Lake Miumwn Is attracting BO much'at-
tention and provoking so much comment
nnd inquiry that Til K Bin : man mnde a
visit to that beautiful resort In order to
answer these questions truthfully and
present facts as they appear to-day. The
spirit of progress is hero and , as great
oillcs have been built in a day , so the
Lake Miuinwa of 188 ! ) , with its grandeur
and beauty , is the product of a few short
weeks. Nature did much in the ma
terial furnished , but the genius of art ,
with hundreds of willing hands , has
ombclishcd anil beautified until Lake
Mnnawa stands to-ilny as the pleasure
resort of the west. Between the great
lakes and the gulf there is not a moro
lovely spot.
Tin ? I.AUI : .
Si/.o : Three miles by two miles.
f
To ono familiar with the lake of
year ago the change lias been marvel
ous. Where were high and nuulil
banks are now wide stretches of .sand
beach , fully one mile in lengtli
Where wore unkempt masses of brusl
are now grassy and well-kept lawns. Tli
low maishy portions are Hooded wit !
water. In fact tlio change wrong lit i
the transformation of a wilderness int
n garden. How have those change
come to _ bo ? Through the well direetoi
expenditure of tiino and money. Real
ix.ing that Lake Mnnnwa has a great fu
ture assured it the property owner :
there have sot .xiiout its development
A hundred men were bet at work , am
the improvements , though not yet completed
plotod , will put the lake on a plane full ;
equal to any demand whieli the futuri
may make upon it.
Chnutauqua creek has been turned
buck into tlio south lake. There tin
water settles and is then passed by i
Hume directly into Manawa. Thus onlj
pure water Hews into the lake and i'i
sufllcient in quantity to raise the voltinu
four feel above the average of last year ,
'
On the river side a 1,000-foot dam'with
a system of automatic gates , is in pro
cess of construction which willmaintaii :
thi' necessary volume and allow the sur
plus to pabs into the rivor. A current
will be thus created which will keer
the water perfectly clear. The weeds
willows and other unbi/fhtly / tilings havi ;
been removed , giving a clear stretch oi
water the lonirth and breadth of the
lake. This gives the finest racing
course in the entire west , two miios
straight away and live miles with a
turn.
* On the south and cast bides a wide
boulevard has been laid out and graded
up. giving an elegant driveway to all
points about the lake. On the lake
front proper a beach i,000 ! feet long has
been graded and filled with fine gravel.
Here J. J. Maloney will immediately
erect a line bnth'ing establishment.
Back of this the shore is sodded , so
that the objectionable featurcsof a year
ago are entirely removed. Manhattan
beach and other points are to bo mate
rially improved and made the equals of
the best modern resorts.
Hotel Mauawa , which was insufficient
for its purposes a year ago , is to be en
larged to live times its present capacity.
Its management will bo first-class and
nothing which will conduce to the pub-
lie enjoyment will be omitted. The
view from Hotel Manawa is not ex
ceeded by any of the famous resorts of
t/hc country.
The driveways leading to the lalto
arc to be materially improved. A wide
ind beautifully pa'rked boulevard will
bo constructed from the new bridge to
Iho lake. Eight street , in this city ,
will be pared to the city limits. Krom
this point a boulevard will bo con
structed to the intersection of tlio ono
connecting with the bridge. Tims
easy access will bo given to both Coun
cil Blull'Knnd Omaha.
The Lake Manawa railway lias passed
into tlio li anils of Colonel Reed and a
company who have sufllciontcapital lo
operate it in good shape. The opora-
ors are under contract for the faithful
performance of the terms , of which
bonds in a bulllriont amount are given.
Tlio equipment of the road will bo lirst
class. "The rolling block is already or
dered. The trains will connect with
the Union I'aciliosuburban and the elec
tric motor trains. The connections with
these will be close > , o that not more than
thirty minutes will bo required to iniiko
thu run from Omaha to the lake and
vice versa. It is probable that a com
mutation rule will bo given so that
transit will bo very cheap ab well as
direct.
A stock company is already organized
to construct and oporuto a race track
which in connection with the base ball
park and aquatic sports will furnish ex
cellent sources of amusement.
Several elegant cottages will bo built
with the opening of spring. Many
other improvements are well in hand
and will appear when Ihe season opens.
Mr. C. 1Brcslin , who represents a
largo amountof eastern as well as west
ern capital , is investing largely hero ,
but for what purpose does not yet ap
pear. Of course speculation is rlfo of
wonderful tilings and public expecta
tion is on tip too. Il is safe to say.
however , that whatever shall bo done
will'be for the permanent improve
ment of Manawa and the territory con
tiguous to t.

A Sudden Uororni ,
"Wntch the Mint to-night. "
Such \vti8 the tit ) received from n re
liable source by n BKK ropros-outntivo
at a Into hour Kridnyvovonlng , tviul subsequent -
sequent developments rendered the
watch fur from futile. Justus the cloolc
on tbo tower of tlio Bloomer school
building was striking the boutof mid
night , a snuad of blue-coated policemen
dashed in through tbo front door of tbo
combined saloon and gambling liouso
on Middle Broadway , known as the
Mint , : md run by Dan Carrigg. They
passed directly through the front room ,
whore tbo "bur Js located , to the gam
bling room in the roar. There wore
probably between thirty and forty men
in the room , either actually outfaced in
piny or watching some of the tininv
games in prom-ess. Several of the
iiumbei1 realised that a raid was being
mnde , and jumped toward the rear and
side doors , but their way was blocked at
either entrance bv a couple of Btahvart
policemen , clubs in baud , who had ap
parently risen out of the ground. A
hurried Blanco around showed every
avenue of escape carefully guarded , and
the prisoners bad to make the best they
could of the unuk'asint situation.
The raidora wore in charge of City
Marshal Gimnolln. who took posses
sion of the place , and stated that
all of the inmates wore prisoners.
Cnrrigg , who was standing on the side
walk in front of the plncovhon the raid
was made , followed the oilicors in , and
began making arrangements for the re
lease of the wliolo party. The marshal
accompanied him to tbo residence of
Judge Aylcswortli , who ordered each of
the prisoners put under $50 bonds to ap
pear for trial next Wednesday. He-
turning to the Mint , the prisoners were
ordered to fall into line , and were
marched out of tlio back , up uho alloy to
the police station , three policemen 'bo-
ing left to guard the place.
At the station it was found that only
cloven of the party were actually en
gaged in playintr , and thov " were the
onlyones required to give a" bond , I'ur-
rigg becoming their hiirety , and the en
tire party was released. Tlio police
then returned to the raided gambling
house and proceeded to gather up all
checks , cases and other gambling tools
that they could find , and carted them
away to headquarters. The tables wcro
too heavy to bo moved , and were not
molested.
No move against any of the other
gambling houses was made until after
1 o'clock , when tlio marshal , cliiof of
police and four patrolmen leisurely
walked around to the Turf. Phoenix and
Wilson's place , but all were found de
serted , and all rambling appurtenances
removed.
The saloons in front of each were
well filled with curious spectators , who
smiled audibly as the police passed
through. The round of all the places
was made and tlio raid was over.
When tbo lir.st move was made on Iho
Mint the reporter hastened to tlio Turf ,
and was surprised to find everything
nut of sight , the immense safe locked ,
mid the gamblers just leaving tbo
room. When the police visited tbo
| ) lace nn hour afterwards even the largo
tables had been taken to pieces and re
moved , and the room was empty.
The reporter hurried from' there to
Ihe other places , and found them in
jonfusion.
The cards and chips were being
tastily gathered up and put out of
sight. Men. hatless and coatless , were
ushing out of the back doors. The
ouletto wheels were lifted from the
.aides , and in an incredible short space
if time all traces of the animated scene
if a few minutes before had disap ;
icared.
As soon as the excitement had sub-
iided somewhat the question hoard on
ill sides was , "who put these other fol-
ows on ? " This led to an investigation ,
mil revealed the fact that a secret
nceting had been hold during the
ivening , and that Mayor Rohror. Al-
lerman Lacy , City Solicitor Holmes.

iral other prominent eiii/.ons had been

lit'.t ho had never heard of any meet-
