' UU/YERS / WAITING FOR THE NEW LAW They Claim tlmt nt I'reicnt II In n DHricult Matter to Kxclmlo the PrafMilonnl Jurymen from the , ll0"w | . The fact that a new system of drawing juries goes Into effect after January 1 , 1895 , will probably result In very few corporation case's of any great Importance being tried In the district court here at the next term , which begins on Tuesday. Two attorneys who represent th ? plaintiffs. In cults against railway companies and ( ho like have agreed to postpone , If possible , the trial of all the suits of this nature with which they are con nected until after next term , and they give a& their reason the fact that It Is next to Impossible under the present system to ex- | elude from the jury box every man who Is Interested In the welfare of the corporations. The new system will do away with profes sional jurors so far as any system can that has so far been devised , Inasmuch as the power of selecting Jurors IB taken entirely away from judges of election , court officials , and every one else , and the selection is made by lot , the name * of all eligible citizens of the county being drawn from.

Several local sports have been running the | town over the last few days , looking for people ple who would like to bet on Weaver , and offering all kinds of Inducements.

They arc netlike like the people who ore looking all over town for bargains and don't find them unless they happen Into T. B.

Cneo Afrnlnat the Motor Company Hcsultn In Fnvor of the I'lulntlfT The. jury In the case of Maude Bryant against the motor company for $20,000 $ dam ages concluded to render a verdict yester day morning at 9:30 : o'clock , contrary to the expectations of a great many people who had watched with Interest their long fight among themselves. At 6 o'clock Monday evening the caie went to the jury , and It was just sixty-three hours later when the foreman handed the verdict to Judge Macy. It was for the plaintiff , and the amount given her was $4,000. An appeal will be taken to the supreme court , as the attorneys for the com pany claim the amount to be far In excess of what Is due. Reports that come from Inside the jury room Ind'cate that there was a hot fight among the members. One juror voted against giving her more than } 800. Some of the others wanted to go as high as $15- 000. One of the jurors Is authority for the statement that Miss Bryant could have had a verdict for $6,000 had It not been for two of them. A compromise was dually entered Into , however , by which she was given $4,000. Rubbers are the all-absorbing topic now adays , and Duncan sells clicra cheapest of them all.

The horto died during the day. Lewis states that whatever Injuries the horse re ceived were Inflicted while he was wallowing around In the mire at Manawa. Mr. Fields , the proprietor of the Kink barn , does not entirely bear him out In th.s , but says that the only Injuries he saw when the horse was brought In were a few little bruises about one eve.

The Union line steamer Welralpa , bound , from this port for Auckland , N , K. , was wrecked Sunday evening on Great Barrier Island , off Iho northeast coast ol New Zealand. The steamer had a large number of passengers , and 111 of them were drowned. The night was very dark and the officers and lookout on the steamer were Ignorant of the proximity of land until the steamer struck on the rocks. Captain Mclntosh. the master of the Welralpa , was. on the bridge at the time. He , together with most of the crew , were lost , The sea , was rough when the steamer went aground. Attempts were made to lower some of the boats , but several of these were either smashed by being thrown by the sea a Gainst the side of the steamer before the falls were cast off or were capsized before they could be laid head-on to the tea , Everybody In the boats perished. Those re maining on board refused to attempt to es cape this way. In the meantime the people on the shore had gone to the assistance of the ship wrecked people. The steamer had two or three life rafts and these were thrown over board and attached to the vessel by stout lines. Then some of the passengers scram bled down the side by the aid ot ropes and dropped upon the rafts , -which were then cut loose. They drifted rapidly In shore and the people on them were taken oft when they came In reach by men who went out In the water as far as possible to meet them. A line was finally thrown across the steamer and the breeches buoy rigged. A number of lives were saved by this means. Altogether 111 of the pa&sengers and twenty-three of the crew were drowned. The survivors have arrived at Auckland. Lloyd's agent hero confirms the statement previously cabled to the Associated press that 111 passengers and twenty-three of the crew of the Union line steamer Welralpa were drowned tn the wreck of that vessel on the coast of New Zealand. AUCKLAND , N. Z. , Nov. 1. The Welr alpa struck at midnight during heavy weather and when a heavy sea was running. Some of the survivors have arrived heie. ' They say that thpy were aroused from their sleep by the shock and rushed In terror upon the deck , where life belts were served out and preparations made to lower the boats. The women passengers and children were flrtt placed In the boats but several of the boats were capsized while being lowered. The crew then set to work constructing rafts and ran a line ashore with great difficulty. With the aid of a sort of a breeches buoy they succeeded In rescuing- 'number ' of people ple who would otherwise have been drowned When the passengers ' * aw the danger in which they were placed many pathetic and heartrending scenes wer ? .wjtnossed , espec ially between husbands and wives and par ents and their children. , . But there was no panic. It was with the greatest difficulty that the boats were launched as heavy 'seas ' were con tinually breaking over the vessel , which was soon , submerged , thus rendering the work of rescue more difficult than ever. Thft llfo rafts were cut adrift , and by means of them many wore saved. Others clung to Impro vised rafts until rescued ) from the water. When the passengers rushed on deck many of them sought refuge on the bridge of the EtearWilp until heavy seas swept a number , of thorn overboard and caused those who were unable to find places In the , heats or on the rafts to escape to the rigging , , where they. remained until daybreak ; , f " " , There Is no doubt that many more passen gers would have been drowned had It not been for the gallantry of 'two ' seamen who swam ashore with a line by means of which a sout ' rope , which was us d later on In the rescue , was hauled ashore. Nearly all the survivors reached the shore in the scantiest of clothing. Some of them remained on the rocks for thirty houra , subsisting on oranges , which were washed ashore from the wreck. When the disaster became known to the Maoris on land , these natives launched their small j boats and succeeded In rescuing a num ber1 i of people. Assistance was finally ob tained I from Port FItzroy and the survivors of < the Welralpa were brought here. The survivors ot the disaster tell thrilling stories of the wreck. Second Officer Stark says E a thick fog set In at noon Sunday , ob scuring everything. The course of the steamer E had been laid so she would clear Hen and Chicken Island , when , at midnight , she struck on Great Barrier Island. The shock of them stranding awakened the passengers , and many of them rushed from their cabins on deck In their night clothing. The sea was then making a clean breach over the after part of the steamer , and as the- affrighted passengers came on deck many of them were carried overboard before they had a chance to catch hold of anything to save themselves. When daylight came It was found the steamer had struck at the foot of a high cliff that loomed several hundred feet above the vessel. To effect a landing on the shelving places of the cliff was a most dlfllcult and dangerous undertaking. BURLINGTON WILL MEET Willing to 1'nt Mull and Kxprosn Into Omnliii n ICnrljas Any Itoiitl. A representative of the Burlington sys tem relative to better mall service yesterday said : "The- business man quoted In The Bee this morning Is very much mistaken when ho says that Norfolk , Frc- mont and Lincoln receive their mall In time for afternoon answering. Lincoln receives Us mall from the cast through the North western train at 5-20 p. m. , Norfolk at C.35 p. m. and Fremont at 4 p. m. , by no means In tlmo to answer the same night , The Burlington has the government contract. It Is true , but Is giving Omaha , Lincoln and all the towns of the state a service that cannot be duplicated by any other road. As for Missouri Valley and Blair receiving their mall before Omaha I don't know that It cuts much figure , for I have never heard that Blair or Missouri Valley were commercial competitors of Omaha or1 Lincoln. "Whenever the Northwestern gets down to business , , and makes a proposition for , , hauling the malts then the Burlington will bo found ready to duplicate tho.ltld-.but under exist ing circumstances the Mprtowestcrn does not bring mall and express , jntf Omaha , Lincoln and other towns as soon as the Burlington , and as long as that coriultloi ; obtains It would be useless for us to chahgtS our time , which wo can make without bilrtr lined. The North western does not attempt40 make a fast run eastbouml and. the Hurjuiglon carries eastbound - bound mall as usual , These are the con I tlons that obtain and Omah'a' business men need not feel that they are 'b&ng discriminated against. In view of the"fart that the North western gets to Missouri Valley at 1:45 : p. m , From Missouri ValWy Is a horse of an other color.

A morning paper saj-3 : There Is a very lively passenger I rate- war brewing In the metropolis of the ranc northwest and transcontinental rates are tending toward demoralization about as rapidly as the representatives of the Inter ested lines can push them , the divorcement of the 0. R. & N. from tlio Union Pacific ofm making that line an Independent factor with new policies ; the entrance of the Great Northern under a truffle arrangement with the 0. R. & N. ; the establishment of new offices ' with n large and efficient force by the Union Pacific , and Iho completion of the Burlington to Billings , followed by the openIng - Ing for through business In connection with the Northern Pacific , have all been factors leading up to Iho changed conditions : out of which the passenger rate war Is surely grow ing. No open cuts over the counters of the local offices are reliably reported , but cuts through brokers have been numerous and must continue while commissions are paid to tlio persons now receiving them. . Assistant General Passenger Agent Payne of the Union Pacific , when asked relative to the report above , stated that Ihe paper probably knew more than he did about the situation , but thought there was absolutely nothing In the rumor. "I think 1 would have heard something about demoralization In rates. If there was , any , In view of th& fact that Mr. Loin ax Is Etlll In Portland , but not having heard anything I Imagine It Is largely sensational. " Milwaukee Will Ulmnco Tlmo.
