At the informal mooting at tbe olllco of the board of publlo works yesterday afternoon , between the city council committee nnd the representatives of the railroads , tbo question of viaducts was pretty thoroughly dlseu scd. Nothing dellnite was accomplished , and an other meeting will bo held In about ten days. The DiirliiiKton , Missouri Pacific and Elkhorn - horn roads were represented , and the ad journment was taken to give the last named companies time to submit their plans for the structures , the llurlington havini ; already done so. The proposition mndo yesterday by the railroad companies Is that they will construct two viaducts , combination wood and Iron , at a combined cost of . ' ) ,000 , of which the city Is to contribute f.'i.OOO , pay all damage to abutting property und to pay for all repairs and thu maintenance of tbe same. The city Is given tlio riiilit to locate the viaducts where It pleases. It Is understood , however , that the railroads favor Ninth and Tenth streets. They , however , waived tbolr preieroneos , and uRi-eod on Twelfth street , over which viaduct t ho electric street railway will pass , and leaving tlio city to cheese between Ninth ami Tenth .streets , Immediately after adjournment the Union 1'ncilloniul II. it.M. rcpri-sentiitives met the coiniiiittoo In conference , and discussed tbo matter of a viaduct over A street , to bo con structed of iron at n cost of $100,000. The railway companies ask the city to pay two- llfthsof tlio cost , but U.Is not probable that they will accede , M it Is understood that the Union I'aclllo representatives have been in structed to nay one-half the cost if neces sary.

[ Special to Tun BKI : , ] Fifteen years In prison on the charge of murder and yet probably nu lunoceiit mnn , Fifteen years caged Ilkci a wild beast mid yet conscious that ho is the victim of a woman's malice , whllo thfl real assassin en joys his liberty. Such Is the case of Wiirrcn dough , the convict. Yet the old mnn uuuoiHplulniy boars tbe punishment , probably iluo another , fully trusting that In tlio court of heaven the Supreme - promo Judge In whom ho believes will reverse - verse the passion-tinged verdict of the earthly courts. Warren dough , both In years ami duration of imprisonment , is almost the oldest con vict In the penitentiary at Lincoln. Ho was charged with cruelly murdering for mnney the brother ho loved and often helped , and a person after looking Into his kindly , benevo lent face feels a shock nt seeing him In the repulsive stripes of the convict. In two yonrs poor dough will bo sixty years old and dur ing his long Incarceration his ebon locks have turned to silvery whiteness , Helms always insisted on his innocence ami the fact that ho was convicted on only the slenderest chain of cltvutmtantlal evi dence naturally Inclines u fair-minded per son to place somu credence In his story , It Is as follows ! The erlino for which Warren Clough Is suffering the penalty occurred In the early matin tiours of May 1 , 175 , and tbo inur- tiered man was Nathan dough. Nathan was fortv-nino years old , being four years the senior of warren ; but the younger brother , now In prison , \va.s the inoro successful busi ness man and often gave ilnanelal aid to his senior brother , AVurrcnClough came to Nebraska in an early dixy. lie started a hotel ul Howard and was vei'5 * successful. At the beginning of the year 187.1 ho had &iX)0 ( ) in the b.mk and liul , lie had the opportunity of Investing this money where he intended to to do ho would probably have been worth a great deal of money todav Nathan Clough , the elder brother , after Ilvimj with , his llrst wife for over twenty years , con ceived an affection for a neighlvjr's wife that resulted in two divorces and the subsequent marriage of Nathan to the woman ho bad learned to esteem moro than his llrst lovo. In 187:1 : Nathan Clough. with his new wife , eamo from Iowa to visit his brother Warren at Seward , and to consult with him as to the best way to make a livelihood. Warren , who had always taken a kindly Interest In his eldei' brother , bought n farm for him near Scward and supplied him with seed wheat and oven bought a cow for him to supply him with butter and milk. Nathan's wile , how- o\-cf , was not contented with the condition of things in her new Nebraska home , and dUi-- ing harvest time , only a few weeks after settling near Soward. she cumo to town and poured a tale of dissatisfaction into her. brother-in-law's ' cars. She declared that she and Nathan could not get along together and asked Warren what would bo the best thing for her to do. Warren , who loved his brother , in sisted on her returning to her husband and trying to tix matters \ip in some shupo. This enraged , the woman and she retorted ; So you stick to your brother I" "Why , of course , " said Warren , "that is perfectly natural. " The woman became very angry at Warroa forthis and let him understand that his advice was not the kind she was seeking. She then sought an attorney. After her talk with that legal light , the lawyer went to the woman's husband and lot him understand that for $100 she would leave him for ever and allow him tbo privilege of getting a dlvoreo from her. 1'oor Nathan Clough was evidently glad enough to get rid of the shrew but ho didn't have the $11X ) . So ho went to his brother , the hotel keeper , and asked him for the money. As usual the cash was forth coming , and Mrs. Nathan dough , taking what was left after the attorney got his share , left the country. But she never forgave Warren for taking the part of his brother. Warren and Nathan Clough , as intimated , wcro not only closely allied by fraternal , but also business relations , and on April - \ 185 , Nathan came to Scward to consummate some business contrjet. By this Warren was to give his brother Nathan 11,000. Everything was arranged satisfactorily and Warren gave his older brother u check on the b.mk forjtho amount. This was on Thursday. Nathan paid about WOO of this money to a man named Blgiiall. Ho lingered in Seward for a low days , stopping at the hotel run by his brother. In tne loft over the stable was a bed chamber and Nathan Insisted on sleeping there , sons to bo on hand in case anything happened to the horses. Warren humored him In the whim , although ho Informed him that ho was welcome to the best bed In the house. On Saturday night when ho went to retire Warren dough , the landlord , noticed his olerlc , Charles Wilcox , mid a man named Jack Trent , in whispered consultation , but tlimiLrht nntblnir of it. That nlirht , Nntlinii Clough , Warren's brother , was murdered. The next morning when Warren came Into the dining room ho expected to see his brother as usual. After waiting nearly half an hour for him and ho failed to appear Warren de cided to go to the barn to wako him up. The hostler said that Nathan had not yet eomo down from tlio loft and Warren climbed the ladder leading u | > to tlio chamber to awnkon him. Warren's ' call failed to arouse Nathan , and he went up to shako the apparently drowsy brother. Then a ghastly sight met his guzo , Ills Brother was stark and cold and the mark of some blunt instrument on the tem ple of the murdered man told the story of the midnight assault. The sudden taking off of his brother almost crazed Warren , and for weeks ho scorned to bo In a dazed condition. The murder of Nathan dough was a tun days'wonder In Sowurd , and at the end of that time Warren was astonished to tind him self arrested on thochurgo of butchering his brother for a few hundred dollars 1 Kcforo this the wife of Nathun Ulough , who hud de serted her husband , appeared on the scene , and It appears that she hud never forgotten her enmity toward Warren for taking the p.u-t of his brother. It Is believed that in a great niCiisuio her voluble tongue and bitter de nunciations caused Warren's arrest , and when lie was arraigned on the charge of murder she had so inllanu-d the community against her brother-in-law that the jury try ing him did not dare to bring In n verdict of acquittal. Accordingly they decided to com promise with public opinion and Instead of bringing in u verdict that would hang ttio prisoner they returned one that would spare his life , but would make htm a convict for life. It was months before Clough could re alize that ho was actually an outlaw. After Warren's arrest It was noticed that Charles Wilcox , the hotel dork , and his chum , Jack Trent , were both unusually Hush with money. Warren beirged of the oftlcers to hold these fellows until after the trinl , but they relused lo do so and before Clough was tried both Wlleox and Trent ncd. It was learned after their departure that on the night of the murder both these fellows had iK'cn up until after midnight , and that their actions had othcrwUo been suspicious. But no attention was paid to this. Public indignation was very high over the murder , and as the popu lar sentiment seemed In favor of making a scapegoat of Warren Clough , ho was con victed and sent to the penitentiary for llfo. Adecadoand n half of years have slipped nway and the village of Sewurd Is blossom ing into a prosperous young city. The old settlers who were leading a precarious exist ence llftcen years ago nro today men of wealth uud Influence. Hut the most prosper ous of them all in these o.irly days has been leading a living death and his name is almost forgotten by these who In early days were glad to receive a favor at his hands. Your correspondent yesterday went to the penitentiary to see this aged prisoner and was astonished to ttml not a oold-vlsagod , brutal looking felon , but a kindly appearing , handbouie , gentlemanly old man , whoso talk showed that bis spirits were almost broken In conversation lie still protested hla Uiuo ccnoe and declared Hint Ifbo wcro on his death bed ho would deny tftc ! . terrlblo asser tion that h i was the murderer.Vhy , " said he , "I would have laltt Jpwn mv llfo 'for my brother.

To ascertain moro fully whether the clergy of the city proposeto support the resolution adopted at the last meeting of the ministerial union with regard to observing Sunday , No vembers , as a "prohibition field day" for the collection of campaign funds , a UKK repre sentative called on several members of the cloth of various denominations and questioned them on the subject. Said Hov. W. 1C. JJcaus : "I believe In holding meetings to stir the people up In n temperance way but I hardly think that wo shall hold any such meeting aa contemplated In the resolution. Dr. Thaln , the leader of our district , hat the decision of this matter In hands and 1 nm awaiting It. I feel quite sure that wo shall not collect a fund for campaign purposes. I believe that tliat Is a personal matter with my congrega tion and shall not attempt to dictate to them as to whctner they shall contribute to such a fund or how they shall vote. " Hov..I. G. Grihltli of St. Mark's ' Evangeli cal Lutheran church said : "I was not present at the meeting and know nothing of the reso lution , and shall therefore tuko no action In the matter. I ilo not consider that I have the right to disturb the regular services of my church unless requested to dose so by my congregation. I may preach a temi > oraiieo sermon , but have not even decided that. As to a collection for campaign purposes I shall do nothing of that sort. If my congregation wish to do any thing personally , that Is another matter. Whllo I shall vote the prohibition ticket myself i shall not dictate to my people. " Hev. John Williamson said : ' ! was not at the meeting of the ministerial association when it passed the resolutions in regard to a 'Hold-day' ' for the collection of a campaign fund. I shall not take a collection for such n purpose , but will nrcach a temper ance sermon in the morning. I shall not disturb the regular services of the church nor shall I attend a uuijii. meeting in the evening. " Hev. E. A. Fogelstrom , formerly pastor of the Swedish Lutheran church and now in charge of the Immanuel hospital and deacon ess' institute , said that ho had read the reso lutions referred to and thought they were all "I will not pay any attention to them. First , because I am not in favor of prohibi tion. Besides , I don't ' think that the clergy should take a hand In the business. They should not act as leaders In political ques tions , and prohibition Is a political question. They can , of course , express their personal vlc\\ on the question , but they should not dose so as leaden. "Another reason Is this , it is a political battle , nlthougn a bloodless one , ana a man who goes out to nurte the sick should not light against , either side. " Dean Gardner of Trinity cathedral , said : "I have not seen the resolution but have heard of it , and have nothing to do with it. The ministerial association , as it is called , amounts to very llttlo as lar us I can lenrn. I have one of th largest congre gations in the city and do uot know of a pro hibitionist among them. " "Will your congregation contribute a col lection toward the campaign fund ! " "Towards buying votes In favor of the pro hibitory tunendmentl No , sir. emphatically uot , and you may say this in all earnestness. " Hev. Charles W. Savidgo said : "As a Christian , I shall vote for the amendment , and as a Christian I do not see how I could do anything else. I have seen and read the resolution of the ministerial union and have thought a great deal about it , but I shall not observe November a as a field day for the prohibitory amendment , nor snail I take up a collection for campaign expenses. I believe I can do moro as a Christian minister by preaching the gospel to men and salvation through Christ than posing as a political ! In the pulpit , as proposed In the resolution with reference to November ! 3. " Hov. Newton W. Mann said : "I shall not observe November ! i us a tiny set aside to preach politics from the pulpit. 1 have not as yet decided whether or not I shall speak on thfl subject of tempcr.Tncc1 on that day. It Is entirely foreign to our belief that we should follow the course laid down In the resolutions of the so-called ministerial union , as I am not connected with it and have nothng ! In common with it. and consequently shall take no cognizance of its actions. Dr. Biriioy , nose and throat , Bco bltlg. A National Labor Convention.
