All About the Deep Water Conven tion Proposal * For Kridoroo- in cut or linoationn For the World'a Fair. An Interesting Bcnslnn. ITIflccn members of the Omaha board of trade responded to Chairman Martin's call for order last night and at once settled down to business. It was a lively mooting and was opened by Secretary Na&on , who remarked that ho had collected rents for the post month amountIng - Ing to f 1 , < U2.GO. Ills report wa placed upon illo and then an invitation from the Water- town capital committee and board of trade to como up and see the town was road. At the conclusion of the reading Mr. Thompson , a Watcrtowu dolcgato , jumped to his feet and announced that the railroad faro would bo $11.75 , and that tickets would b9 good for thirty days , nnd further that the city ho rep resented would pav all sleeping car faro nnd board for the party , and that ho wanted COO members of the board and other business men to como up , bring their families and linvo a good time. The train Wilt luave the Webster street depot at 6:45 : to-night nnd after getting to Stoux City will bo hauled to Wutortown as a special. Mr. Thompson had the cash to pay all expenses , nnd concluded by inviting nil who desired to at tend to call on Secretary Nason at or before 11 o'clock this morning and got matters ar ranged. A suggestion by Mr. Nason on behalf of govern ! citizens of the city who wrtntoj a permanent exposition In Oinnho , but didn't want horse racing mingled witli it , brouirht Champion S. Chase to his feet. Mr. Chaao wanted a permanent exposition , but such an arrangement wouldn't bo worth anything unless horse racing , Which is a splendid sport , went with it. It is racing that draws crowds , and people is what Omaha wants. Secretary Nason then moved that a com mittee of three , of which the chairman should bo one , bo appointed to go to St. Louis in October mid got a * few points on how to run a fair. The proposition carried nnd thochalr announced that the balance of the committee would bo appointed later on. But at adjournment nothing had been done in the matter. The attention of the board was directed tea a communication from J. H. Anderson , pres ident of the board of trade of Newton , Ktin. , regarding the construction of a line of rail road from Oinnha to Newton and tlienco tn the gulf , via either the Union Pacific from Omaha to Newton , or the Elkhorii and Santa Fo from Omaha to Superior nnd thence southward. Appended was an opinion from John A. Wakclield , chairman of the commit tee on transportation , to the effect that as matters stand at present nothing can bo done ; that while the Union Pacific has made a survey from Manhattan to Newton , thev will not build for a year. The documents were filed. The delegate from Watortown then ob tained the floor long enough to remark that the St. Paul , Minneapolis and Des Moines board : of trade will ull visit his oity on Wednesday uud ho wanted Oinaha to join the party. l * ' Mr. Chase then made a few remarks concerning - corning the deep water convention in 1890 , which will bo hold in Omaha , and spoke lib erally in regard to the favorable feeling pre valent in the west in favor of a harbor on the gulf , which prompted the man from Watcrtotvn to again rise and assert that all Dakota wanted u deep water harbor In order that their goods might como through Omaha instead of Chicago. Letters from Washington , Now York nnd Chicago , asking that the board lift up its voice in favor of each city for the World's fair , wcro then read and relegated to the spindle. Then Mr. Nason perpetrated a genuine surprise by reading a letter from Paris , which is ns follows : PAIIIS , France , July 29 , 1889. To the Sec retaries of the Oinuha nnd Council Bluffs Chambers of Commerce Dear Sirs : lavish you would kindly mail me three copies of each annual report with statistics for 1SS5 , 1880 , 18S7 , 1888 and 18S9.

Wo wish to show the Europeans by your reports and sta tistics the wonderful and rapid advancement of your cities within the last five years. OSOA.U C. Sii.7iA.cn , 7 Rue Scribe.

Southern Outlet , Director Joseph H. Mlllftrd , . of the Union Pacific , thinks that President Adams anil party will arrive in Omaha about next Fri day and probably remain hero thi.'cft or four days. Speaking of the dispatch from Texas which anys Mr. Adams is spying out n route to the gulf , Mr. Mlllnrd de clares the subject has boon under con sideration a long tmio. According to his statement , General G , M. Dodge , president of the Denver , Fort Worth & Toxos road , has econ ma Icing overtures for months looking to the consumation of a do'al whereby the Union Paclllo can , by taking a lonso of hU line , secure a southwestern outlet - lot , and thus have a chunco at the heavy through business which Is now virtually controlled after leaving Ualvoston , by the Southern Pacific road. "I presume , however , " Mr. Mlllard con tinued , "that there nro some people in Ouinha who will make a vigorous protest against the Union Pacific diverting its trans continental traffic at Choyeuno , but the change would not affect us In the least. You see , by coming into operative management of the Denver , Fort Worth & Texas road wo would have a direct line from Cheyenne to Galvcston.

William Hamilton , who was arrested Sat urday ntuht , charged with having set fire to the home of his nephew , W. E. Hamilton , ' in Harlem lane , has made a statement , in which ho charges his nephew of being a thief , aud of keeping his house as a rendez vous for thieves and a storehouse for stolen goods. Ho also assorts that his nephew has a horse and wagon , which ho uses nightly in making forages on his neighbors. The sen ior Hamilton claims that the house which was buincd was tilled with stolen goods , bedding and clothing taken from clothes-lines in various parts of the city. The barn , too , is alleged to bo filled with lumber , shingles , carpenters' and painters' tools which young . Hamilton has taken from buildings that are being constructed in some of the thriving suburbs in the northern part of the city. An addition recently built to the house which was burned , according to the prisoner's story , was built of lumber stolen in this manner. The police will investigate the charges.

When Edward Miller , a married man of about thirty-eight summers , is given his free dom from the county jail , where ho is now serving out a sentence , ho will again bo ar rested. For Edward Is a bad , naughty man. man.Ho Ho was sent to board with his namesake in the county bnstilo during the latter days ol August , and will repine tin durance vile olUl until September 19. The dual charco upon which ho was convicted was robbery and general > eussedness. The former consisted ol stealing Mrs. Miller's fav-orito nickel olPi plated watch , while the latter was the ham mering of Mrs. Miller and her twelve-year- old daughter Tillio until they each resembled piece of raw beef. jTo Mrs , Miller Edward owes his present position in society , for she it was who sent him up. Since his confinement ho has vowed by ; all the little gods that ruled from Olympus that when ho gets out he will pulverize his spous.o and scatter her ashes on the muddy surface of the broad Missouri. To this the lady objects , and with the assistance of an attorney and a justice of the pouco will compel him , to put up the neces sary bonds to keep the peace or linger in durance vile until ho U weary. Mrs , Miller and daughter live on Corby street in u house owned by her. She and Miller have boon living together for twelve years.

About a year ago the woman claims that he kicked the little girl In the back , and that she has not yet re covered from the effects of the Injuries sus tained. Now the iron has entered her soul and she uoes not propose to stand it any n longer. AT Y. M. C. A. HAfcU. Members Combine a rtmall Amount or Business With Mueli Picasurc.

Something of n hazy atmosphere covered the state fair grounds ibis morning , with prominent indications ot a rain. This hazi ness continued until about noon , -when it cleared up and the day was as flno as ono could wish. There was no regular pro gramme to-day except In the speed ring. In most of the departments the work of prepa ration continued , and the superintendents nnd ofllcers wore kept busy answering the questions of tbo exhibitors , and assisting them to place tholr products. An extra force of clerks wore employed In tbo secretary's ofllco nnd the bustle nud hurry wcro kept up all day. Visitors were scarce nil forenoon , but the grounds filled up nicely in the afternoon to sco the races. The Rapid Transit , the Burllngtou nnd the Elkliorn roads ran trains out every fifteen minutes. Agricultural hall continues to bo the chief attraction. Everyone on .leaving tbo gate makes for this ball and is soon lost in the mare of the big pumpkins , squashes , cab bages nnd beets , nnd the wonderful array of Nebraska's greatest cereal , corn. The county exhibits , except Adams , are all In and bavo been put In position. Douglas county occupies the entire south half of the west wing , and the exhibit is not only largo In size , but very complete in do- tail. The gentlemen who have this exhibit In charge have good , reason to bo proud of their work and the county cnn congratulate Itself on the showing it has mado. The exhibit of the Nebraska experimental farm in connection with the state university occupies the west cud of the north half of the west xvlng , and attracts considerable at tention from the farmer visitors. Just cast of the university exhibit Is Cam- ing county , which Is never behind in her products. Cuming county did Nebraska I proud at an Iowa exhibition two years ago , und she seems to bo keeping up her end of the string pretty well to-day. Chase county is divided In position. Ono part occupies the northwest angle uud the other the southeast angle of the main buildIng - Ing , nnd her products , like all these from the western part of the state , prove conclusively that Nebraska is u farming state all over. Washington nnd Antclopo counties occupy tbo west half of the north wine with very complete - ploto and very attractive exhibits. The chief feature of these counties , Hue these in most of the counties on exhibition , Is tlio big dis play of corn. Iftinything is lacking to con vince ono that corn is really King and crass the queen of Nebraska , a turn through this hall will certainly qouvinco him. Antelope county tins a largo and handsome live an telope in Its exnlDittwhich not only attracts attention , but serves tp exemplify the nntno. Thomas and Lancaster counties have the east half of the north * 'wing. Lancaster Is old , well settled and her capabilities have long been demonstrated , but Thomas , which is now and on the frontier , makes n showing which is very creditable for the lar west. E. S. Cutter and C. C. Wright , of Thoaford , nro In charge of the exhibit. * ODundy county occupies the northeast angle. Its exhibit of agricultural products are uj. to these of the moro eastern counties , and have been very attractiveltJirrntiged by .Messrs. Atkinson , Parsons , Startle and Ucnny. Besides - sides their agricultural products , they have mounted specimens of tlio beaver , the prairie dog , tno otter und. buffalo heads. Kearney , Perkins and Frontier counties occupy the east half of the south wing with exhibits which put to shame the old theory that com could not bo raised profitably west of tbo one-hundredth meridian. Thayer and Saunders occupy the west half of the'south wing with attractive exhibits , in which corn is the chief feature. Tbo Saun ders county corn king and { grass queen con tinue to bo the chief attraction. Hayes county oucupies'the southwest angle of tbo main building with an exhibition of corn and other agricultural products that would attract marked attention in any fair east of tno Mississippi river. Horticultural Hall. Horticultural ball a&sumod shape to-day , and , as usual , drew the bulk of the visitors. The exhibit made by the state horticultural society , which occupies the entire west and north wings , is sufficient to demonstrate the nift fact that Nebraska is not only a corn state and a grass state , but a fruit state as wall. Apples , pears , peaches , plums , Apricots , crab apples , etc. , in great abundance and of very line ouality cover the numerous plates on the shelves. The east and south wings 01ai are devoted to a show of plants and green bouse goads. In this department Omaha comes in for the lion's share , aud is repre sented by A. Hoogc. Hess & Swaboda , W. H.

The rivalry at Agricultural hall for the first premiums this year will bo even moro intense than last. It will bo friendly , however - over , and tboreforo of the pleasant kind. Visitors on entering the hall , who attended the fair last year , will bo impressed with the prominence of the general exhibit at once. It is simply marvelous , ana contains every imaginable product of the soil. Moro than prominent among the exhibits may bo men tioned that of CB9TEH CODNTr. It will bo remembered that this county took the four principal premiums last year , and it will bid hard for the same honor the present year. Many visitors pronounce it the finest exhibit in the ball at u glance. But a word as to what It is : Think of twenty varieties of wheat , iifteen of spring and 11 vo of winter , sixteen of oats , spring and fall rye , four kinds of buckwheat , Three of barley , forty of corn , two of millet , three of llax. timothy seed , forty variutiespf potatoes , ilfteeu of onions , and then the pumpkins/squashos , melons , beets , turnips , carats , parsnips and everything of the sort and kink , and the reader gathers a faint conception of the mag- nltlcencoof this county's exhibit. Every thing is perfect. UUtlml the exhibit is ar ranged to attract. The' archway is festooned with grasses , nntlvp und tame , and the countless bundles spqsk louder than words of the festivity of the 60.lt and the worth of the county for grazing purposes.

THE BED has already noticed the horse dis play to a certain extent , and to-day it wishes to add only this , that whllo the display la equal to that of any previous year , it would have been much larger but for the unforth- nnto misunderstanding between the board and the officers of the Draft Horse Breed ers' ' association , which has hurt the horse show to a certain extent , but it is still very creditable to the fair.

Eastern Colorado is represented agricul turally In a distinct building. Shirley and his sod house are attraction1) again this year. Ho has a much better dis play this year than last. His pots are his mammoth , pumkins , squashes and melons. The cereals also take a conspicuous place in hi * exhibit. There ara n few very officious policemen on the grounds. The ostrich man is the constant center of admiring crowds. His exhibit arrived this morning. The birds are attractive but nut pretty. They were plucked m July and much of their gaudy plumnco ' is gone. The stalls and pens'for the cattle , hogs and sheep are all full and the 'animals will rank with anything ever shown in the west. Madam Marronet was out on the track to day exhibiting her park and saddle horse , Woodlawu , to the saddle and in harness. Her exhibitions are interesting and were witnessed by large crowds , who watched her every moment. The fish exhibit , which always draws the crowd , is handsomer than ever. The poultry bhow and the bee and honey exhibits- are all in place. The collected displays are all in shape and the fair will begin business in the morning at the old stand. Dr. Billings , of hog cholera fame , showed up to-day and gazed on the crowds and had them gaze on him. Ho says that ho has the world by the tail in his new insurance scheme. The attendance to-day was estimated vari ously from 8,000 to 10,000. To-morrow is children's day. The Itnllronds Talk : . Tim Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha and the Union Pacific railroad com panies filed answers this morning regarding tbo coal rates recently made by the state board of transportation. The Omaha road alleges that the board is not authorized by law o malco any such an order ; that the mailing of this order is in excess of their jurisdiction , and therefore null aud void. They deny that the rates now in force are unjust or unreasonable , but on the contrary are lair and equitable to nil concerned. They assert that the rates proposed by the board ara grossly unjust and unreasonable , aid will not , if enforced , defray tno cost of the service , leaving no return on the capital in vested. That tbo company owns and operates 241.12 miles of road in this state , which has cost 242,000 nor mile , or a total of over $10,000,000 ; that the road is mortgaged at tbo rate of $15,000 per mile , on which they are paying ( J per cent interest , which , if the rates are at tempted to bo enforced , they will not bo able to pay. 1 ho answer is very voluminous and lull of statistics and special pleadings in their behalf. The Missouri Pacific's answer is in much the saino strain , and equally voluminous and full of special pleadings. The board moots the 12th to hoar these cases. fc'rom a Knntj- Null Scratch. C. F.
