DM ; . ] Ttioto M nproipoct for sorao lively
street railway extension In the principal
fcirooU of Lincoln In ttio Imtncillaio fuluro.
The prospect arises Irom n disagreement be-
Ween tlia llotno and Lincoln Street , rnllwav
systems , The Homo company hns for oomo
time bciin endeavoring to coinummiUo an
ni-rnnpcinont , with tbo Lincoln company
whoraby tlio fonnor would bo allowed to run
its cai s over several lines already in opera
tion by the latter company , Ilio oltort has
IIIDVOII failure and now the Home
company proposes to do some buildIng -
Ing oti its own account. Presi
dent MrMurtr.v of the Homo com-
pony stntod tbU forenoon thntlt \ the Inten
tion ut lib company to ntonco commence tbo
construction of n line from the present ter
minus of 1U trucks at Twelfth and O streets
west on O atroot to the Hurllnctou depot.
A line will iilso bo built to Lincoln | mrt ; vm
Ninth or Ulovontli street. O street Is
nlrondy occupied by tbo double tracKs of the
Lincoln company and It U not licllovod that
the Iloinu company will be allowed to lav
additional tracks without Hist running the
cauntlot of a iicrlcs of case * in the court * .
The olllululs of the Homo couipiuv claim
that thutr franohlso gives llicm the right , to
In.v Its tracks ott any nnd all of Iho streets of
Lincoln.
Tlio Printing Control pr y ,
At ft risk of wearying the rending public
by constant allusions to the controversy bo-
twocn the btnto Journal company pf Lincoln
nnd Uovcrnor Boyd In regard to sundry
items of printing charged up to the ofllco of
thn clilol executive. It may bo stated that
tbo printed stutotnonU In regard to tbo matter -
tor imvu so fur boon wrong. The printing
Uas ordcicd by Governor Uoyd during his
fragmentary administration before ho was
misted ny tlio decision of Iho supreme court.
Governor Thover nftenviirdH declined to
I Jssno n voucher for thn bill , believing
I /I hat ( lovernor Uoyd had no authority to
order It. After Governor Hoyd haa boon reinstated -
instated bv the doclslon of the United States
( tiprcino court the Journal company ngaln
presented tlic bill. Tlio fund from which ttio
bill should havu boon paid had been ox-
linnsted nnu the governor said so. The
.lotirnal bring * the suit In an endeavor to
compel the governor to pay it out of another
lund. The controversy Is over the lultor
fact. The statement that the pilntlng xvus
ordered by Governor Thaycr. and that Governor
'
ernor Ilovii refuses to puy'lt on that account ,
is piuclv u llgmont of an imaginative ic-
portorml Intellect.

une's San Antonio , Tox. , special says : The
experiments nt rammuiclng- , which were bo-
Bun hero yo3tcrdny afternoon by U. G. Dry-
onfurth and party , were kept , up until 4
o'clock n. m. The results , while not as ouo-
ccssful as they mlgut have boon , wore sufil-
clont to demonstrate that the theory ot pro
ducing rain by means of concussion is a cor
rect ono.
When the work of bombarding began last
evening there were a few clouds overhead
and by 0 o'clock the heavens were olenrod
and the moon and stars shone brightly.
Tboro were eight hydrogen-oxygon balloons
sent up during the night at Intervals of
about forty-llvo minutes. These balloons
rose lo a height of from 1,000 to 2,000 foot
and tboy exploded with terriQe force , the
concussion being felt for several miles around
The banks of clouds In tbo southeast
horizon began to move upward by 11 o'clock ,
and being propelled by a strong wind from
that quarter the heavens were soon over
cast. It was 1" o'clock when a particularly
ominous clojd catno up and was soon directly
overhead.
Ono of the ethereal monsters was lot co
with a fuse timed nt three minutes , The
balloon contained 1,000 cubic foot of
hvtirogon-oxygen and arose almost perpen
dicular to a hoightb of 0,000 foot when
it exploded In the very center of tno cloud.
A slight sprinkling of rain began to fall a
few minutes before , but the explosion was
followed by a drone-lung downpour , which ,
however , lasted but a low minutes , when a
slow driz/.lo sot In and was kept
up until 4 o'clock this morning. Tnoro
were , in addition to the balloon , about -1,000
Dounds of rosollto exploded on the ground
ana 150 shells in midair. Tno wind during
the en tire tlmo that the explosions were in
progress was blowing a gale from Ibo south-
outt nnd it tins novorlioforo been known to
rain hero when the wlna was in that quareer.
Thoru wore no experiment ! ; toduy It having
decided to begin operations next Tuesday ,
when arrangements will b3 en mote ted for amore
