May Fitzsimmons will answer to the district court on the charge of murder In the first degree. The young man had his preliminary bearing this morning before Judge Stewart , and the story of the horrible tragedy at Wnvcrly , in which William Heed was killed by a blow fiom a billiard cue in tbo hands of the accused , was vividly retold by the wit nesses for the state. The testimony simply confirmed the story already Known. FiU- slmmons and the deceased , with many others , attended a bull ac Wavcrly ou the night of March 17th , when , In heat of pas- bloii and wildly drunlr , the accused struck the fatal blow. Tbo prisoner's friends , some of thorn , say that the blow xvas struck in self defense , but no testimony was Introduced to confirm this statement. An older brother hud got the worst of It lu a sot to with a Swede , and to revenge his brother's defeat Uichard took a bund In the deal utter quiet hnd been ro- sloreu , with the sad result already known. The lawyers for the state nnd the prisoner's counsel had a squabble over the grade of the ciime. Tbo prisoner's attorney contended thut it was manslaughter , and hence a bulla bio offense. But the court abruptly ended the dispute by uronotinclng it "murder in the first dogrcoo , " under the testimony adduced , and remanded the prisoner to the county Jail without b.ill. FiUsimmons will probably bo put on trial for his lifo durlug tha term of court commencing May 0. State K.xponilltuios.

Mclntyro vn Molntyre. Eatclla Mclntyro vs James Mclntyre was ho title of a divorce case tried in the dis- rict court of Otoo county this week. Interest centers in this case when it is stated bat James Mclntyre is the party who kid napped the two children , three miles south of this city , about six wooka ago , the partic ulars of which was chronicled by Tns Bun nt the time Mrs. Mclntyro was then em- iloycd by Merchant Newman. When she learned that her children had been stolen from her , she at once sought legal ndvico ana commenced suit for divorcement and the care and custody of her little girl and boy. Why suit was instituted at Nebraska City is unknown. Word reached hero to-day that the "writing" had been granted the plucky mother , and that she was on trucx of the children , with good prospects of again se curing possession of them. Mr. and Mrs. Mclntyro were prominently connected nt their Iowa homo , where they were married , the husband having served a term in the state legislature. The domestic troubles of this couple nnva been sad , indeed , the inside history of which will probably never bo known. It is said that Mrc. Mclntyro vrill make Lincoln her future home.

MEN OF BRAWN AND MUSCLE The Stationary Engineers' Union Still Lives and Flourishes Other Matters Pertaining to Labor. Day laborers and skilled workmen will have no difficulty in obtaining employment hi Omaha during the summer and fall and throughout next year. There will bo plenty of work then for followers of all the trades , not only for those now in the city but for hundreds of others. A leading architect , speaking of the situa tion yesterday , said that everything in dicated a most prosperous season for Omaha "There is a vast amount of work in the hands of the architects and contract ors. This year is going to bo a busy ono , but next year , let mo tell you , there is going to bo an enormous build ing boom here. This year many pri vate enterprises will bo consummated , but as to tbo larger public buildings to bo erected they will only bo fairly gotten under way. Next season work ui > ou thorn will bo in full blast , and then , -with the addition of tbo other buildings bound to follow , will , as I told you , inuko it a great boom year. " Hut , if fieurcs don't lie , this present season will aporoach the boom high- water murk in actlvfty. A reporter this week visited many of tbo improvement cen ters , and , as a result , Tnn BEK is to-day ena bled to givtfworkingmon at homo and abroad an adequate Idea of the building and improve ment to bo done hero. Nine of the leading architects were visited , and the proposed cost of the work for which they were- preparing plans , aggregated $ ,402,000 , divided as follows : Business blocks , $1,0 > 3,000 : manufactories and ware houses , W21,000 , and residences (309.000. Of course some of these will not bo built they are only projected , but there will bo others to take the place ot those ttiat fall out and the figures will remain practically the same. These figures , however , are exclusive of the city hall , to cost 150,1)00 , tbo building of which will commence this full ; the Commer cial bank building , 175.000 ; the Pacific Ex press company's building , $ ( S3,0H ( ) . The now government building , $1500,000 , and the Union depot , estimated to cost $150,000 , construc tion of which will bo commenced before the year is out. - 'JLlio fact that1 these buildings are actually to bo erected bus been estab lished and ! tUcso figures , added to those giver ) , Jjy tbo architects , brings the sum to bo expended on now buildings this year , as Indicated by the work In the bands of architects and contracts already madu , up to $1,000.000. Add to this sum $3-10,000 for new public school buildings and the grand totpl.is brought up to $4UIO,000. Work upon nearly all of those- will begin within the next few weoks. A committee of the council Is ucttv examining the plans pre pared for the now city hall , and as soon as they dccldo upon the plans to bo adopted , bids will bo advertised for and work begun. This will tuku but six or seven weeks at the maximum. Work upon tbo excavations for the Commercial bank building has already commenced. It U the intention of the Pa cific Express company to commence the con struction of its now building as soon as pos sible , and this Is true of tna > companies in terested in the construction ot the new union depot. It may bo late in the summer before work upon tbo new government building will be started , but there will bo plenty of employment furnished upon the construction this year. The erection of a union depot will call for a new viaduct across tbo trucks on South Tenth utreot and the changing of tracks , which will cause a further expenditure of money and give employment to hundreds of men. men.Tbo secretary of the board of public works estimates that (800,000 will bo expended by Ladies' Jersey Ribbed Vests. 14c.

With the expenditures of tbo county in grading and paving within the city limits , the total will reach $1,000,000. . The gas company will expend a largo amount In improvements , while the water works company expects to devote between 000,000 and { 700.000 in extending its system hero and in Florence. The Omaha Motor company will build at least twenty miles of now road this season , and tbo consolidated lines will construct as much , if not more. . From these figures it is safe to estimate the improvements to bo made in Omaba this year at over eight millions of dollars. Following is an estimate of PJIOJECTED IMFIIOVEMEXTS.
