Near the corner of Thirty-sixth and Ar
mour streets stands on old house that hai
boon unoccupied for sometime. During the
winter it has boon rt rendezvous for tramps
and tough characters , nnil It U thought thai
most of the rohborlos that hnvo boon porpo-
tratcd In various parts ot the city hnvo boon
planned In tbo doiortcd building. The
house has been purchased by Joe Knvnn , and
while workmen were engaged In cleaning It
out yesterday morning they discovered what
may bo the only remaining evidence of n
ghastly crime.
Under the stairway that led to the upper
story cf the building was pinned n plcco of
paper. It was a lent from n memorandum
' covered with writ-
book of IS'Jl-W ana was
Inc in lend pencil which had become almost
obliterated. When the rough scrawl was
ilnally deciphered It was foutid to bo as follows
ows : " "You wlllflnd In the basement the
body of a dead man. Ho was killed by someone
ono who Is unknown. "
Chief of Police Brennan was notified and
drove down to the house. After searching
through the debris that covered the lloor ho
discovered a patch of clotted blood about
eighteen Inches in diameter. An examination
of the basement failed to disclose the alleged
body and no further evidence of crime was
found. Some believe that there has really
been a murder committed at the old house ,
while others claim that tbo note Is n hoax
and the clot of blood was ulaccd there to
glvo color to the story. Tno house Is sorao-
wlmt. Isolated , and considering tbo cluss of
poonla who tiavo Inhabited it during the win
ter there Is n possibility that some stranger
may have boon robbed anU murdered and his
body burled deep in the collar of the build
ing.

MISSOURI PACIFIC SHOUT CUT.
The l.lno I * Itoiuly Hut tlio Depot rncllltlcs
AruVmitiiiR Uiillnmil Notes.
The .Missouri 1'acifio poopto have been
counting on running their passenger trains
Into tbo Tenth street union depot , but the
situation in Union I'nclflo nllalrs threatens
thatilcslrnblo arrangement.
"Wo expected to run over our short line
Into Omaha by January 1 , " said a. Missouri
Pacific man , "but that was b.ised on nn un
derstanding that wo wcro to cross the Platte
river on the B. & M. bridge. When that
agreement fell through wo began -
gan a brldgo of our own , which
will bo ready for use In three or
four weeks. Our line Is constructed both
south nnd north of the brldgo , ranking a con
nection with the Union Pacific nour Gllraoro ,
nnd the crossing of ttio river 1 * the only
thing that stands in the way of operating it
between Omaha und Plattsmouth.
"Wo have boon counting on running over
the Union Pacific from Uilmoro ID the Tenth
street depot early next month , but it now
looks ns though the schema might bo frus
trated. Jay Gould , having control of both
the railways concerned , went ahead with our
short line without n dollnlto contract with
the Union Pacillc. confident that ho could
dictate a doslniblo contract whenever roadv
tooperato the now lino. The terms of such
a compact have hern discussed , but the Con
tract has not been signed. If the Vandcr-
bills gain control of the Union Pacltlons fore
shadowed by Now York dispatches , they will
not favor Mr. Gnuld , particularly In matters
pertaining to n competing road like the Mis
souri Pacific , and they may Impose onerous
conditions which Mr , Gould cannot accept.
There is considerable danger , therefore , that
the Missouri Pacltlc may bo prevented from
using tbo Tenth street depot. In that event
our company might build from Gllmoro to a
connection with the Belt Ltlo , but tbo plans
do not contemplate such an extension. "
Homo Industry Locomotives.
A now locomotive , No. 831 , was turned out
of the Union Pacific shopi Saturday. This
is the second of a lot of II vo ordered some
tlmo ago. They are constructed for speed
and durau'lity ' nnd are intended for the fast
mall icrvico.
They are said to cost 50 percent moro than
Iho price chnrccd by eastern locomotlvo
works , but Master Mechanic McConnell Is
confident that that difference will bo moro
than made up by Increased eorvicoablcnoss.
Every piccobf material used in thu construc
tion Is tested , and the possession of the orig
inal drawings will greatly facilitate the
maklug of repairs.

New York Supreme Court Decides In Favor
of Ycnncr.
The latest news relating to the fight be
tween the warring factions of the American
Water Works company i that the supreme
court of Now York has decided in favor of
C. H. Vonnor & Co. the two suits brought
last fall by thu Denver faction against that
firm. The first of those suits was brought
to prevent Vonner & Co. from disposing of
f J , . " > 00,000 , stock in the company and $100,033
notes and an account of $10,033 against the
company ( the notes and account bolng for
money advanced by Vonner & Co. to the
Omuna works ) and for nn accounting1. This
is tbo suit that caused Venner & Co. to sus
pend payment last October.
The court llnds In favor of Vcntior & Co.
upon every point. Tbo decision is very vol-
umious , covering twouty-throo nages of
printed matter.
The other suit was for the purpose of pro-
ventlnp the directors froin holding a
directors' mooting with loss than seven
directors present ; the board originally
haying consisted of thirteen members , but
being reduced to u U-ss number by resigna
tions and Inoligibilitv. The court dismisses
the injunction and finds for the defendants
in this case also.
As the temporary Injunctions obtained in
these two suits wcro largely the basis for
suits In Omaha nnd Denver , nud for the
appointment of a receiver for the Omaha
works , the decisions must have an important
bearing upon the future course or local
litigation.

the right to the Stsito Convention.
The first two engagements In the demo
cratlo war have boon decided nnd the clans
are preparing fora Dual struggle , which will
como Wednesday in tbo statu convention.
There appears to bo no inclination on tbo
part of either faction lo compromise the difll-
culty. Both wmgs of the party are very
busy preparing to defeat the plans of tno
opposition.
Speaking of the situation yestcrJayJCharlcs
Offuisaid : "Tboro were some doiortertt in
the convention last Saturday but the regular
army Is now in excellent order. "
"SVill the Martin men give the Boyd dole-
gallon trouble m the state convention i"
"I do not see how they can , because they
simply got up and left the convention with
no Just c.iuso for the statement that they
were not being fairly treated. A number of
Martin men stayed witb us right tbroueh ,
so they were loft witb a minority. I don't
believe that a minority will have much of a
show in the state convention , o'pecially
since that minority has bsen plainly in the
wrong. They did not give ts a chance to
show whether wo were going to treat them
fairly or not. I would rather have loa my
right arm than to have treated a Martin
supporter aufalrly. "
"How about the statement made by Mahoney -
honey charging Elsasser with stealing the
credentials of the S.icond ward proxies ( "
"I don't believe that there Is u word of
truth in the statement. Mr. Mahoney proba
bly thuuubt that he was stating u fact , but I
tbiiin ho was mistaken. " *
Speaking of the possibility of sending un-
iustructed delegates to the national conven
tion , Mr. Offut said : " 1 ntn in favor of up-
pointing a representative democratic dcloira-
tiou and trusting lo Iheir judgment after
they roach the national convention. I Wculd
not object to tbo passage of u resolution ex
pressing the preference of the party in the
stale , but I shall oppose tnslrucling the dele
gation. TOOTO is ono remarkable thing about
thu cause of the Martin deserters , " contin
ued Mr. Offut. "Mtiny of the delegates
they appointed are now declaring that they
wl'lnotaltend ' thocoiiventionus Martin dele-
gales. Some of the men they appointed are
not in the city and know nothing at. allabout
the light , ami would not take pan in It if
they were here. "
Mr. Montgomery was seen by a Bnu re
porter nnd in response to tbo question
ns to whether there was any chance
lor a compromise , ho said : "So far as I am
concerned I am always In favor of doing that
which is fair und honorable , but 1 know of
no stops that are bolng fatten to compromise
the dlllk'Ulty. We bad a straight majority
in that convention , and that fact we shall bo
able lo prove. I am not In favor of permit
ting any faction to carry things with high
banded fraud. So fur as tno instructions to
the stale delegation Is concerned , I shall bo
in favor of sending1 the Nebraska delegation
with instructions for Cleveland. "
Mr. Elsaasor was soon with regard to the
charge mudo by Muhoney touching bis con
nection with ibo proxies from Iho Second
ward.
"I handed these credentials for the Second
ward proxies to the soerolary of the conven
tion and bo told mo to keep them until the
committee on credentials had been appointed
nnd hand them to the committee , " said Mr.
Elsasser. "I then put the credentials of the
proxies in my pocuut. Mahoney saw mo do
it , I bupposo. una thought I intended to Keep
them through the entire convention. I be
lieve I aid the proper thing for these proxies
bad no right to n vote in the convention until
the cotninittoo had passed upon their right
to vote. I want to say further that three of
those proxies were bought by the Martin
men. The Second ward olecica a solid Boyd
delegation , but tbo Martin men got hold of
three of the delegates nnd bought them off
und tilled their places with their men. Wo
can prove this aim will do so if it comes to a
show down. "
Judge Shields said that Elsasser was right
about the purchase of the proxies by the
Martin men. "Tho tory moment they at
tempt to show that wo stole these proxies , "
said the Judge , "wo will show thai they
stole them In the llrst pluco. If thev want

To whom It May Concern ;
Tills is to eortlfv Unit I have boon a
constant sufToroi * for many ycarj wltli
catarrh , uslhmii and bronchial alTeo-
tlotw of Iho throat , and tried all the
patent medicines and romoilitw I over
heard of , but with no success. I ticated
with doctors in various parts of the
country , but none of thorn could do mo
any good further than giving ma shor
temporary relief. I sulTorod nluht an
day. and continued to grow worse not
withstanding all the modiclno I 1ml
taken. I had almost given up mv C"V3o
as hono'ioss when I was informeu by u
friend of Dr. C. Goo Wo , the Chinese
doctor , and advised to go and see him in
the liopoof getting relief.at least , if not
a permanent euro for my trouble. I was
slow in making up my mind to miUo
such a radical change in mv treatment ,
as I know a trial with the Chlnoso doc
tor would bring mo , but I Ilnally con
eluded to givd him a trl-il. so I called at
his ollico with that intention. 1 lound
thn doctor a clover , entertaining gentle
man , thoroughly uostod on my condl
lion , and It took only a vary short time
to convince mo tint ho was the party I
was so long in search of. Ho told mo
my case was curablo. and that ho could
euro mo. and prcmred mo : i sncclal
tioatmontto suit my condition , and in
two weeks I was s-o much boiler that I
had the fullest confidence in the doctor's
ability and committed my case to his
treatment. I continued tn grov , ' baiter
rapidly and am now entirely well , i
owe my euro to Dr. C. Goo Wo , and am
not ashamed to admit , it. I advise all
who want relief from their troubles to
cillon : Dr. C. Gee Wo. und they will ba
cured. For all particulars apply or
write to MAKTI.V L. ANDKIISON.
