LINCOLN. 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.

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.

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.

the city this year in paving , $50,000 in laying
mam sewers , $00,000 in laying district sewers
ers and $50,000 for gradiag , or a total of
$700.000. 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.
