Mrs. T. Scott of Missouri Vulloy , la. , came
to Omaha yesterday on account of a notice
she had read In Tim Bun of the suicide of
Annlo Giant , \vho killed herself by drinking
carbolic nctd Monday.
Years ago Mrs. Scott had known a llttlo
tot named Annie Clark , and while It had
been a long tiiho since Annlo was seen by
Mrs , Scott she felt that probably the un-
forlunntu woman might bo the Annlo she
knew In girlhood.
Mis. Scott Immediately noon her arrival
visited the inorcuo. Down Into the basement
she followed Eli Glsli , whoso privilege lor
years has been to help sorrowing friends and
relatives Identify their dead. Slowly tho'
whlto cloth was removed from the face of
the dead woman , and as the even yet fa
miliar features were revealed tears stood in
Mrs. Scott's motherly oyns as she recognized
thu friend and companion of younger and
bolter days. She Inquired us to the dlspo-
sltloti-of the remains.
"They will bo buried by the county , " the
kind old gentleman replied.
Mrs. Scott thereupon said the won.an
should have a decent burial and she would
pay the expense , whatever it might be.
A suitable collln was purchased and poor
Annlo Ulark will bo burled this afternoon at

Attorney Council's compromise ordinance
with a view to making it acceptable not
only to the Union Pacific but to the city of
Omaha and tlio incorporntors as well.
Previous to Mr. Council's appearance the
incorporators present revised the articles of
Incorporation as Illed with the secretary of
state by striking out the reference to n

words-occurrod and arranged for the filing
of amended articles in conformity with the

Mr. Council remarked that ho had ex
amined tno original ordinance and found it
in a crude form , not being In accordance
with'tho Australian ballot law. Ho then
road the ordinance as revised.

It is provided that on or before September

cient sureties thai will secure Hie necessary

It Is provided that Hie depol shall bo be-
Iwccn Douglas and Howard streets , adjacent

and city council. II musl cost , exclusive of
grounds , tracks , turnouts , sheds , switches
and approaches , not less than $ . " > 00,000 , and
after completion , with all Its additions , shall

use and enjoyment of Iho public
ns n union passenger depot , nnd for
iho use of such railroads as desire lo
use Hunger such resoaablo rules and reg

approved by the mayor nnd council , at such

On the execution of the agreement and

have been expended on the now depot , the
remainder of the bonds , ( probably $100,000) )
when the structure , together with all tracks ,
switches , turnouts , sheds und apuroacbcs ,
shall have been completed.
with reference , to the settlement with the
Union Paclilc Hallway company , iho ordi
nance provides thai tlio Interest of the city
In Iho present depot silo on South Tenth
street shall bo so changed as to release the
depot company from the necessity of nniin-
laining ll for depot purposes , but requiring
iho company to continue to use il for railroad
purposes , thus allowing Iho company lo
abandon tun present .siruciures there nnd
oniei-Jtho proposed now depot and continua
in possession of Iho land. The railroad
company , on iho other hand. Is to quitclaim
to thu city the "Wmspoar triangle. " the
water works lots , nnd carry out all the other
terms of the original Council compromise. .
.MnntHKi iif llurlliitiiii StrlcUon Our.
In providing thai Iho new depot should bo
open * to tho" Unlo'n Pacitlo and B. & M. , to
gether with all other roads now or hereafter
having terminals In Omaha , It was the sense
of thu meeting that the mention of the Bur
lington should bo omitted from iho ordi
nance , the Union Pacific to stand , "and
two other representative railways having
terminals In Omaha" bo substituted , on the
ground that the Burlington's refusal to
enter the depot , would not defeat the pur
poses of the scheme , but thai the Union Pa
cific's co-operation was necessary la make it
a success.
When Mr. Council reached that portion of
the ordinance relating to the settlement of
the Union Pacific matters there vras a hlioh-
Ing up of chairs and closer attention given
the city attorney as ho ouillnoJ his theory
for closer relations between the Union Pa-
clllo und the city of Omaha.
I > 'ollo liiR llm .SniiiiilKM Deed.
He stated that no desired to follow the
stipulations In thn Saunders duett , and
would incorporalo Into iho ordinanca the
same stipulations as embodied In tlio Saunders
dors documenl rclnlivu to tlio maintenance
of shops and headquarters at this point , reciting -
citing iho clausn word for word and attach
ing thereto the safeguard thai should the
grounds now occupied by the company for
shop nnd other purposes bo sold for other
limn railway purposes , then the lands and
lots revert to the grantor. Ho recommended
iho abrogation of clauses it , I and ti in tha
Saundor.s deed ; cliiuso I ! relating to the
bridge across tlio Missouri and the making
up of passenger and freight trains for the
west on the grounds of the coin-
puny at. Omaha ; clause ! relating to the
bulldlngof freight and passenger depots , nnd
stipulating how much should bo spent in
tholr erection ; clause ( ! , Having reference to
tlio open character of thu bridge to all rail
roads desiring entrance into or exit out of
Omaha nt reasonable compensation ,
I'ltrthur Clmiices Snscoatoil.
Considerable dlbCUislon resulted over these
clauses , Mr. Hamilton finally solving the
problem by suggesting Hint the ordinance bo
changed so ns to cover the new condition of
ntTuIrd , abolishing nil that has bcun made
null by reason of the Union Pacific's com
pliance with the Saundcrs deed.
After thnso suggu.stions were made Mr.
Council was asked to prepare tlio ordinance
'and submit It to tliooftlcors of Iho Union
Pacific nnd then to the judiciary committee
of the council for further Buggo&tlnns , the
'
ordinance to bo 'again taken up uy the Incorporators -

Of twcniy-four railroads that show in

Vice President H. A. Parker of the Chicago
cage , Uoek Island ft Pacific , accompanied uy
W. 1C. McFnrlln , superintendent of construc
tion of the same system , were In Omaha
Tuesday , and in company with General
Superintendent Ilarrls of the Omaha Bridge
and Terminal company inspected the brldgo
company's tracks.
The visit , which was very quickly made ,
has given rlso to many conjectures on the
part of railroad men who were Informed of
the Inspection.
For some tune past the bridge pcoplo have
endeavored to mnko connections with Iho
Milwaukee nnd Hoc It Island on the Council
Bluffs side of the river , but mot with little
encouragement. Last week , however , Gen
eral Aeonl Nash went Into Chicago , and
afier a talk with President Miller recom
mended to A. J. ICarllng , general manager * jf
thn Milwaukee , that the connection desired
on iho part of the terminal comp.tny bo
made on thu ground that should anything
happen to the Uhlon Pacific bridge the Mil-
waukca would still bo able loget into Omaha
over the now bridgp.
It Is tliQUghl that Vlco President Parker
of the Koolc Island came west lo look into
the matter of the Bridge company's ter
minals and probably arrange for n like con
nection in Council 1 ? lulls.
But back of It all there may bo a disposi
tion on the part of the Uock Island to break
awny from Its contract with the Union
Pacific , In which ovcn ( the Terminal com
pany would hold iho key to the situation , as
Its trafllo ngrcemonl wilh iho Missouri
Pacitlo would penult the Ilock Island to got
Into South Omaha , and by a few mites of
trnCK could easily connect with Its own line
to Denver. However , this visit on the part
of the Hock Island pcoplo may only have
boon accidental , iho theory belmr that the
Uock Island Is not anxious to break with the
Union Pacific , enjoying as it does entrances
Into Kansas City , Denver and Omaha over
Union Pacific tracks.
It is quite safe to predict that passeneer
trains will run over the now bridge before
IS'Jj dawns , all the Indications being favor
able to that conclusion. Whether it will bo
ana of the roads now in Omaha or a new
road is shrouded in considerable mystery ,
but Iho Wubush is making u connection with
the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company ,
nnd It Is altogether possible that il will run
trains into Ouidha.

CIIIOAQO , Jan. 17. fSpecial Telegram to
TUB BBC. | It was announced this evening
thai ihe Great Northern road , represented
by Trafllc Manager Finley nnd General
Passenger Agent Whitney , and the Cana
dian Pacific , represented by Trafllo Man
ager Olds and General Passenger Agent Mc-
Nlcoll , had reached an agreement .which is
thought to be the entering wedge in sotillng
up all transcontinental dinieulties , the Great
Northern having offered the Canadian road
an all-rail route from New Whatcom ( the
Canadian's Puget Sound termiiuis ) down lo
Seattle and Tacoma , on certain conditions ,
and the offer , after much figuring , it is said ,
has been accepted.
i'ho Great Northern , by granting special
divisions on both freight and passenger
trafllc , has placed the Canadian road in n
position to quote oven rates with the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific on all north
Pacillu coast business. It. return for this
important concession ihe Canadian road , re
linquishes Its long standing claim ior
differentials.
The question of the Canadian Pacific can
celing its contracts with 'the Paclilc Coast
Steamship company and discontinuing its
ocean route to Seattle. Tacom.i and points
south remains in abeyance , to bo considered
in further conferences.
Another general transcontinental conference -
enco is now likely to be culled , in which the
claim of the Canadian Pacific , in behalf of
its Soo-Pncific route , for dirt'erentials via
Vancouver and the ocean to San Francisco
against the direct all-rail routes nnd the rail
routes through St. Paul and Portland will
bo further considered. The Southern Pacitlo
railway with Its Shasta route holds the key
to the situation in settling up Ihis dffllculty.
The gross carnlncrs of tlio Alchison road
for November were $3,475,697 , a decrease of
$2GO.f > 7 ! ) from ihe same month last year. The
total not earnings were S1'J4G,10 : ! , n decrease
of $ U7.000 from 189:2. : In the live months
from July 1 to November 30 the surplus has
fallen off $05y,170.

JtlMTKIl 1TH C.ISC.
rroiccntlon In the Ooiiv'lilln Trial ( Uvo *
Wny to tlio.Dolcnso.
CitiCAoo , Jan. 17. The prosecution In the
Coughlln trial , after weeks of constantly ro-
currlng sensations , rested its case today.
The last few hours of the state's testimony
were given up largely to the Identification
of the murderous exhibits which had been
placed In evidence. The state's attorneys
had delayed proceedings us long as possible ,
hoping for the arrival of Scott and Joe
McLaughlin , brother of Mrs/ Andrew Fey ,
but today they decided that ho would not bo
present to testify mid allowed the defense to
OCR In Itirwork.
Among its last witnesses the prosecution
called W. C. Voss ot the United States
weather bureau , who produced reports to
show that May 4 and 5,18SU , were cloudless.
The defense objected to Iho statements , us
ono of Its witnesses had testified that It
had rained'on the.night of May 4 , nud Judge
Wing succeeded in making the witness say
that it might have rained in the vicinity of
the Carlson cottuga without having rained
nt the Auditorium weather office , six miles
away.
This afternoon Assistant Prosecuting At
torney Bottum announced to the court that
the case was .practically ready for the de
fense , but ho might ask to introduce one
more witness tomorrow. There Is consider
able speculation as lo vhelhor tlio possible
wllucss is Iho missing Henry Owen
O'Connor ' or McLnughlln , but the attorneys
refuse to discuss the mutter.
It Is estimated it will take as much time
to introduce nil the evidence for the defense
as was required by the stato. It took about
six weeks , or from. December 0 until the
present time , to introduce the state's wit
nesses , and should Iho. defense consume an
equal period , the verdict of the jury may
not bo looked for until after March 1.
The defense , it Is said , will introduce
some sensational testimony. There Is a
story today that Police Lieutenant
Slifit would , when called lo iho
stand by the defense , make a
serious charge against Captain Schuuttler.
Stifft testified at the last trial that ho saw
Coughliu ut the Chicago avenue station nt
10iO : : o'clock on ih&nlght of May 4 , the same
hour Nicmnnn swore < to having seen him in

JACKSOXVIU.K , Jan. 17 , The Duval Athletic -
lotic club makes thls.lts ilnnl nnd most posi
tive statement , , Unit the contest between
Corbett and Mitchell will take placa on Jan
uary 2.1 :
Itcports have been sent out that Governor
Mltchull bus ordered troops to Jacksonville
for ( he sole purpose of suppressing the con
test. Notwithstanding tbc.se ruports-tbo club
relteratei ! Its past assertions and for the
past week has buun arranging for an
emergency of the kind , and should the troops
lie soul , hero , whllo thu club does notbcllevo
that any violence would bo participated In by
tlioin , yet it would not subject Its patrons to
the slightest danger of any kind , Fo complete
are UN arrangements that .should an emer
gency arise on the morning of January 120 , It
Is prepared to liandlo 0,000 people with the
greatest convenience.
This will bo no Hluhburg affair , where the
people were subjected to a long , tedious nnd
hot ride , but It will bo done us quickly nnd
conveniently as though It occurred in tlio
arena now ready for the airulr. Once more ,
wo say to all friends and lovers of boxing , If
youaro In.Jacksonvilleon January 25 , 1894 ,
and earo to sco the Corliatt-Mltunoll contest
yoncnndoso aflur.arranglng for the neces
sary tickets.
Will Mil ho n New Price.
It is understood that should the troops bo
massed In this city , which now looks proba
ble , the Duval club will refund the money
ulroadv paid in for tickets and dccldo upon
the price to be paid for tickets to the now
meeting grounds after the crowd has been
"sized up. " #
The club lias evidently explained their
plans to the two principals , for tonight Cor
nell Issued the following :
1 take tills opportunity of Informing my
friends throughout tliu country that 1 linvu
received assurance from tlio Duval club today
that will-runts me In saying the contest between -
tween Mitchell nnd myself will positively
tnkt ! plnco in Jacksonville , or In the liiime-
dluto vicinity of that city , on January 25 , pro
viding both principals apnear in the ring.
It is said Mltcholl has alsoiagrccdandthat |
the light is certain.
Will .Meet III n Tent.
The fact that the Duval people have
negotiated for a largo tent leaked out ,
couulcd with the fact that the work on the
arena has been practically abandoned. This
seems to indicate the battle will take plnco
outsulo the city. Governor Mitchell ad
mitted that should the contest comu off out
sldo Jacksonville it would bo impossible to
prevent it. The militacy will be hero on the
i"ith ! , however , and they will probably bo
unable to find the battleground and the
governor will have the satisfaction of hav
ing done everything in his power to prevent
the tieht.
A dispatch from St. Augustine tonight
says that Sheriff Perry of St. John's county
has announced his determination to prevent
the Corbott-Mitehell contest. Ho will call
upon the governor for troops if necessary.
No alarm Is felt hero over the sheriff's
declaration as it is not believed he will know
where the battle will take place.
Olllcors Consulting.
Sheriff Broard loft for Tallahassee tonight
on invitation of Governor Mitchell. Ho
would not state what the nature of the in
terview was to be. State Attorney Par-
trldgo had a long interview with Corbett
today atMayport regarding the legal aspect
of tlio situation.
State Treasurer Collins Is reported as say
ing tonight that there Is no money at the
disposal of the state militia for the purpose
of transporting troops , and If Governor
Mitchell wishes to send them out ho will
have to foot the bills himself. There is no
provision by which the state can bo made to
pay the bill.

TAMPA , Fla. , Jan. 17. A glove contest has
been arranged for Friday between Joseph
Robertson of Tatnpa ana James Johnson of
Now York , for Sl.OOO , and also ono between
Ed 'Oilman of Jacksonville and ButlurGreer
bt Baltimore for $ . > 00. The Tampa city
council is encouraging the contest , claiming ,
as does the Duval duo , that there Is no law
in Florida against prize lighting. As Tampa
is Governor Mitchell's home ho Is likely to
bo ticard from.
Tried to Hrlbo tlio fiovnrnor.
NEW Yoiiic , Jan. 17. A special to the Press
from Tallahassee says : Manager Bowden ,
of tlio athletic club made a proposition to
Governor Mitchell last nlcht in the Leon
hotel to pay over 52. > , pOO to charitable , insti
tutions of the state 'if the governor'would
withdraw his opposition to the contest. The
governor listened complacently to what Mr.
Bowden had to say. Then in his quiet way
ho said :
"Florida is not a rich state , but there is
some money in the treasury. There is no
necessity for Florida to enter into a compact
with the so-called Duval club , an organiza
tion without a charter. Mr. Bowden , why
don't you go ami bother Governor Northern
of Georgia with your schemes f"

for many years the champion billiardUt of

Iho count. IJilliardist I'VunlM'huyer and
half a dozen otbor.s who witnessed the run
havomndo aftidavlt to tlmt effect.
Sampson anchored the balls on the lower
rail In SohacITcr's favqrlto position and with
a marvelously light stroke made the count
without turning the balls , merely rubbing
the balls and playing with marvelous
rapidity. When ho passed MO. the
world's record made by Schaeffer , u
wild cheer wont up from' tbo 'JOO people
present , which was Instantly hushed ns the
score continued to roll up. At thn 812nd

nnd Sampson quit nn nn ont-und-ln masse.
Sampson la well known throughout the

Ei , PASO , Tex. , Jan. 17. It is still impos
sible to get further details of the conflict
between the soldiers nnd revolutionists , but
it is certain that there has been a
battle near the Mexican Central
road between hero and Chihuahua.
Trains that reached Chihuahua today
from the City of Mexico brought 000
rurales from that city. These are the favor
ite troops of President Diaz and are famous
as fighters , especially fitted for mountain
warfare. Just where these troops are bound
for can not bo learned.
It has developed late tonight that a party
was organized in this town to go down the
HIo Grande into Mexico to capture Victor
Oclioa and bring him to this sido. The
party returned today and the leader told a
reporter that tho.y lound he and his band
have goup to the western side of the Mexi
can Central railroad. This man reports also
that the whole country where ho has boon
Is ready for revolt , the people needing only
some man of force to furnish tnom with
arms and lead them. "
The reason ifor the excitement in Chihua
hua , It has been learned tonight , Is that
Santnna Perez nas been approaching the
city from the west and Ochou from the'oast ,
capturing several ranches nnd small towns ,
Including Santa Clara and Sun Andreas ,
both within fifty miles of the city.
Whether an attack has been mada on the
city or not has not been Ioarn6d. No mes
sage can bo cot over the wire giving any
particulars of an engagement , should ono
occur.
It is reported , but not bcliovcd hero , that
the city of Chihuahua has been attacked by
the revolutionists. It is certain , however ,
both Ochoa and Pero/.nro mnrchingjn that
direction. Kustergio Hamon , Catarlno
Garza's aide , has joined Ochoa's forces.
Ochoa today returned four mules taken from
Kotelson and Degataw's ranch. The animals
were brought in by the mozo or servant
whom Ochoa forced to enlist. Ho was
lodged in jail by the jofo politico nt Juarez
inspitoof his plea that his enlistment was
iu voluntary.

WICHITA , Jan. 17. The question whether
the mortgage redemption law , passed by the
last Kansas legislature , is constitutional as
applied to pro'oxlsting mortgages was
decided In the United States circuit court
today. The case was that of Woodman
agaiust ICruius. Judge Williams hold that
as to all mortgages made before the passage
of the law of lb'JUherc ' ; is no redemption ,
that such mortgages are governed by the
old law , and ho rendered judgment accord
ingly. Tills is the first federal court decision
on this law.
It is a ponular belief that the state supreme -
promo court has decided this question , but
in all cnsaj argued before thai tribunal the
court did not pass upon tlio real point at
Issue. In these cases ludgmunt hud been
rendered by Kansas district courts before
the now law was passed , and the supreme
court merely held that the legislature could
not alter the terms and conditions of district
court judgments once rendered. In other
words , that the now law did not alfcct old
contracts which had passed into judgment
before the law went into effect. The de
cision of JuJgo Williams is important us in
dicating the position of federal courts on
the question. J *

Miller says : The Hour output last week was
the smallest In four and a half years. Only

tlmr In full tlnjo. The quantity of Hour
ground was Ii5,77i ) ! barrels , against 174 , ' . > tJO

promises to show a mouorato Incrouso this
wcolc. There were eleven mills in operation
today , and they were grinding at the rate of
about 17,000 barivl pur twonty-four hours ,
Tliuro Is not much more Incentive to mukn

of course , have inoro or less Hour at eastern

the mills. Offers from Kuropo are about lid
below tlio views of millers for bakers , and
Is : ij for pal'uit. With lower wheat the
prkx'.s of Hour uro down about 10 cents from

The direct expert shipments from Ilia
