' of the Ground for fluirini J'tIrju.'sM Vouiii Men- flee IJie Jienitli or ( lie Coin iii ii n I t ) . Judge Powell yesterday handed down a decision in the I'rospect 11111 cemetery caao , allowing 3 Injunction retralnlng the use of' ' the strl [ ) adolnlng the cemetery on the outhi for burial purposes. This case had been stubbornly contested In the courts , the fight commencing in the city council over the passage of an ordinance whiIch , it is claimed , would allow the use of the strip of ground in controversy to ho used as a part ot the cemetery proper. The contest was then transferred to the district court , and it has been admitted all along - by both sides that the case would be taken to the supreme court , no matter which side , won In the lower court. The title of the case is Jesse Lowe and others 'against tue Prospect 11111 Ceinetery assocta- ' tlon. In summing up the evidence and giving his opinion in the case Judgc Powehi read from manuscript , hil statement being aubstantlaily as follows : "This i.s a case brought to restrain the defendant from using a 'strip of ground 127 feet deep on Parkers Street. for the reason that such action is in violation .of the or- dhances of the city and for the reason that the plaintiffs sustain particular and special damages by reason of the contamina. ton of wells by disease germs which might be carried from the bodIes of persons .liay- 1n died of contagious or infectious dis- o ases , percolation of water through the soil. " "In , ' 1G the cemetery proper was dedl. catecI. In :1875 : o. trip was adde ] , on the south and lots sold. This strip wasknown as the first addition to Prospect HIli. Still Iter , and subsequent to 1892 , the etrip bet - t tveen the cemetery and the north line of' ' Parker street being ihie land now in controversy - versy , wss attempted to be uned for cemetery - tery pulposea. "Mi of this ground and considerable adja. cent property which has since been used for residence purposes was inclutled in the territory - ritory formerly owned and controlled by the Cedar 11111 Cemetery asaociation , which was Incorporated by act of th territorial leglsla- ' turo in 1S8. 'Tho evidence shows tlist In 1883 Byron Ticed. having acquired title to Cedar 11111 , arranged - ranged with all Ilorons having burial lots In the disputed strip to remove their dead to thio cemetery on the north , Reed giving in exchange for their lots , lots in Prospect Hill and paying the expense of removal Ho then ordered that no burials be made in the strip and no lots sold there for burial purposes. . "After this strip had been unused and unoccupied - , , occupied as a cemetery for eight years , the . city council passed an ordinance prohibiting . ; the enlargement of cemeteries within the city himits "It is claimed by the plaintiffs that the acts of Reed and others having rights In the ' etrln onaUtuted on abandonment , and that ' the Bl1bSUOIlt laying out of this strip for ' - burial purposes was a violation of the city ' ordinance. "The defendants claim that no part of the cemetery had been abandoned and that no part of a cemetery an be abandcned without tue consent of ovary person holding the right ' qf aeiulchar in any and every part of tlio - comotery. and that , plaintifrs have not ouch Interert In this suit as iviii enable them to naintnin a suit and that they cannot show special damages such as will entitle them - fo an injunction as asked. It is claimed , ' . iihao , that the defect alleged to have been iii f the ordinance has neon cured by the repeal ' : uf the ordinance and the enactment of an- , -4 . other ordinance In September , 1895 , which , In effect , allows this Particular cemetery to be enlarged in the manner in which It has born deno. ' "I am satieflod , after a careful consideration - tion of the matter , that thi , plaintiffs hiavd such an interest as will enable them to main- tam this action , provided they show they are , or are likely to be , specially damaged , and thai the acts of Byron Iteod and of these : baying burials in the old fedar Hill come- 'tory and the failure , for more than eight yars. of any one havini the right of sepulcher In tile disputed strip to take advantage of that right , constituted a legal abandonment of the strip. "Tue testimony shown that the soil in the cemetery and for a great distance around it is of the kind known , geologically , as bees , and Is remarkable for its power to absorb and re- tam nlob.ture. The iogcal deduction , from the decided weight of the evidence of tile drainage and bacteriological experts , is that gornia of disease are very likely to be car- ' . fled through soil of this character by perco. c , hating water from the bodies of those who may do of contagious or infcctous ! diseases and bs buried therein , to vehis 200 , 300. 400 tl _ foot or more away , and In such numbers as to endanger the health and lives of those baing the water. "The strip might have been laid out and ) used for cemetery purposes prior to this paasage of the ordinance In 1692 , but it could flat have been tiono rightfully after the pastge of either ordinance referred to and the defendant cannot claim In a court of equity that its postion tInder the last ordinance Is bettered by reason of its viola. tion of tue first ordinance. " Siasulned ' ( liii Jury's Verdict. Judge Slabaugh has overruled the snotion fcr a new trial in this case of Miss Siihomo Emmlnger agalnt the Omaha Street ' Itallway company. In overruling this motion I the court said that the evidence regarding the cctent of the injury , In which affidavits had beoli Introduced purportIng to abow that the ilaIntUt had attended dancea Will had danced , was simply cumulative and was not new evidence. ' 'uis amo was true with zeferelice to the other aiildavlts regarding the position of the plaintiff imule1tately after the accdent. Regarding the point that the amount of damages was excesrive , the court ileid that .was a point for the Jury to determine and not a legal question , OlseJi Must Set Out ( lie Article.

Ho was accl- dentally abet in the foot by one of his corn- panlons , an Injury which will necessitate the amputation of the foot. Raymond with four compantous started out at 0 o'clock to shoot ducks at' Cut Off lake. They proceeded saf ly untli'they passed Swift's ice house , wherethey sighted a ficcic of ducks passing overhead , The entire 'party crouched down for a shot and fri doing so the gun of George Fowler wa accidentally < its- charged.

During the journey Raymond - mend remained conscious , his only anxiety appearing to be that no one would ho on hand to carry his route In the evening.

In this way thiero will bq no necessity for putting In coping under the tracks and the objections of the railroad company will ho removed.

A communication which was received by Chief of Pohlco Sigwart from the sheriff of Sacramento county , California , is likely to call up recollections in the minds of the older residents' the city , and copecially ot these who twelve years ago could be dubbed sports. Tue hotter simply makes , tiie announcement - nouncement that Jack Fell has been arrested In Sacramento and is befog held for the Omaha police. Jack Fell was the principal in one of tim hlardost and tougheet prize fights ever pulled off in the vicinity of this city. lie was a coal miner of Missouri and lied attained a considerable reputation In tim west , because ho would rather fight than eat. Ills first in- tr5duction to Omaha was in a glove cpntest with a reputed hard man named Smith at thio Academy of Mu5ic. Ho knocked Smith out in four rounds , and consequently made a favorable Impression upon the Omaha Ira. tern ity. There was at that time another prize fighter of repute in tile west , a man who had lived for some time in Omaha , Jaclc llanioy. Hanley at the time was in Colorado. but he readily enough agreed to fight Fell , The at- ' rangements for the miii were placed in the hands of Jack Nugent , manager of the old St. Ehino on Twelfth , between Dodge and Douglas streets , and Baby Barnes , a iUgo pugilist and strong man who died several years ago. A purse of $300 vas made up and it wao determined hi' pull the fight oft on the morning of May 13. The Omaha authorities refused to allow the fight to coals ofT in the city and in consequence - sequence there was a lively kirmlsh upph , tho. part of thi man g meht't'o find a uliablb pico. It was finally chosen , but there were only a few on this excursion train that , pulled out of the depot on the Union Pacific at 2 o'clock on the morning of May 13 whD knew where the train would stop. At ii o'clock the chcsen spot , a bit or low land in Saulldera county , a mile from the Platte , was reached and there the ring was pitched. It was a motley crowd that piled off the train , There were in thio lo a number of the business men and reputable citizens of sporting proclivities , but tilO majority of the crowd consisted of thieves and criminals. A majority of the latter had placed their mOflOY on Fell , but Haniey was well supported - ported and there was every prospect that trouble would ensue before the fight was over. " 'rho mill was a hot one and lasted for twenty-two rounds. It was then awarded to Fell 'on a foul , Despite the decision it is said that It was never decided which was the best man. henley. claimed that he fouled purposely to lose the fight. because he was afraid' that he would be killed If ho won. Fell's suporters alleged that their man won on hits merits. Such was the fight , but it was not a dr. cumstance , to wllat occurred 'when the train was returning to the city. The crowd pn board was tough in every sense of the word. The Fell element crowded and the llanhey element was sore. Several altercations occurred - curred as the train pulled out , but the serious trouble did not begin until Waterloo was reached. At that point Solly Marks quar- rehed with an acquaintance. Revolvers were drawn and a scene of confusion ensued , from tile train s'1iilo it Men jumped was running - ning fifteen to twenty miles an. hour. The fight centered in a group of a dozen men who occupied the middle of one of the cars. Pistol shots were heard at frequent intervals. Some one pulled the. bell cord and when the train stopped the fight closed. Four men were found to ilavo been ahiot , one of them beng ! Marks. They were left on the train and the ride to Omaha wax continued without further trouble. The police - lice bad been notified of tile affray slId a squad of offlcts , one of them Chief of Police Slgwart , who was then a patrolman. awaited its arrival at the depot. When i hulled in , however , it was found to ho empty. tile passengers having alighted at South Omaha and othei' places to avoid arrest. Fell and Hanloy were arrested and charged with prize lighting. Hanley was convicted and wax sentenced to the penitentiary for a turin of tiltee years. After his sentence expired he returned to tile city and ran a gymnasium for a year and then loft , When ho was last heard of he was a member of the police force at Detroit. Fell w moro fortunate , lie escaped before - fore his trial , but was captured again in Missuti. Ho once more escaped and was recaptured in Detroit. Before the warrant for hini arrived he Dilde more eacapd , fluId since that time lie has kept out of tue way of the authorities until arrested in Sacra- mento.

I was stated that the trains were run upon a more expensive scale than the California tratflc warrantsd. This rurn r was emphatically' dealed by the om. dais of the Santa Fe road : At tilat time , however , the time between Chicago and Kansas City was lengthened an hour by the Santa Fe people , but no change was made in tllt t'ChiCduiO of trains running west of tile Missouri river. Soon afterward the Southern Pacific took off Its fast express between New Orleans and the Pacific coast. It is now announced that on April 16 another train will be taken off. It is also statct oil excellent authority that on May 1 the , ianta , Fe will abandon its Los Angeles limited express , In place of the latter It will substitute a 'shower train , % vhicll will not carry the dining cars and other luxu- ties. The policy of tue new management of the Santa Fe has boon In favor of strong rctrenchnient. It is commonly uiiderstood that the traffic to California ilas steadily been growing less. During the winter months tile tourist trade was fairly good and warranted keeping oh the expensive trains , but it is said that there is so little high chas3 travel to tile coast now that the handsomely appointed limited has become an extravagant luxury , _ _ _ _ _ _ _ FiilrnlngM of tiLi ltnilroadx , Railway officials arenluclt encouraged over the improvement in qarnngs with many of the roads last year and th1is far thlis year up to March 1 , since whhh , time they have not made quite so favorable 'exhibits , but this iii because of unfavorable conditicns , March having been an unusually ; severe month and the country toady almot 1npassable.

Events of the past week at Labor Temple have been a revelation to a great many in the rank and file of labor , as well as to others , who , though not connected Witil labor organizations , have a sympathetic Interest in them. Wheil tbo Temple was opened it was thought that organized labor In Omaha had secured a great advantage , In that so many of tue subordinate bodies Ilad been brought under ono roof and were allied in promoting a number of schemes for tile bet- telnent of the condition of thio laboring people , Wilich were launched at the sanie time and vere Indeed a part of tim Temple Celleme , such as the free ciuipicynient bu- rcau , the reading room , etc. The complaint flow is ( hInt tlle Temple en- terpriap was for the benefit of only a small set of individuals , , who , it Is charged , have not had , at heart time true Interests of labor , hut only their own-that tiley have fiddled and labor has danced. It was the understanding - standing at first and until a few days ago , that time management of the Temple would he in the hands of this hoard of directors , comn pored of the twenty-ilve or thirty subordi. nate labor bodies that caine from here mind there about time city to hold their regular sessions In the buildIng. But just as soon as tills board of directors shares the opinhon of others interested that Superintendent - her has not been running things satisfactorily and talks aboutousting him , It Is revealed that ho lies 'time Temple quite in his own hands and will do as 110 pleases , for tile lease is to him and he' can lock the doors at any moment ho choosa. It i generally conceded tliumiefore that If , WaIler Is not aliowed to t : illS way tile Labor Temple movement , scarce foul' months old , is to fail fiat , and 110 0110 has yet , said that Wailer must have his own way simply to save the Temple. A larga nuniher are convinced that tile 110W era prcmlsed.for Oma'ia labor wheim the roommi vere opened has been an era of demoraiiza- tiOll and retrogresson ! , tilat the long recog- iized oWects of labor unions have been forgotten - gotten , It they were every really learned , by tiloSe who have been put Ia tile position of headers and that a radical change is desired , oven if it involves tue closing of tile Temple. TI'e word Toniple , they say , has . been one to conjure with only on the part ofVallor and the socialists , and the sptrits raised have been only such as to vex the real frIends ( ; f labor. Though timere Is no organc connectton be- tufemi the Labor Temple and the Central Labor union , the agitation In both with ro speet. to the rule of this .socaiists ! has been equai Last week a committee was investi- gatlng the conduct of WaIler. This week a committee will be investigating the conduct of I'resident Fisher of the Central Labor union and a committee of the Labor Temple directory vihl attempt to look over Superintendent - tendent Wailer's books. The circumstances are wholly pheasig to but one body of organized labor. This is tile Knights of Labor. They are tempted to say "I told you so. " They long ago ceaied to have anything to do with time Central Labor union , cii account of a quarrel over tile organization of a ihusicians' union , end they have had no part In the Labor Tezmplo project. They announced at the time that it would cones to grief on account of tile spirit of the men at the head of it and they are flow inclined to call attention to their prophecy. _ _ _ _ _ _ - 'hiTnllor % 'Iii Meet 'Fodn' , A meeting of the tailors , who several weeks ago quit the services of Barrett & Johinoon , will be held this afternoon , The meeting will Indeed be a general one of tile union tailors of the city , though nothing of rare luliportanco Is to be considered. Ito- centiy , in tile Bohemian papers of the city , what are cahiei tile "scab" tailors have caused articles to appear condenlning ilie methods of the , union men , and making light of their proficiency as workmen , The object of the meeting is to reply to tilOsa and ret time purposes of time uniciia before the people In their proper form , It Is alleged that one of tile nonunion men , Joseph Rousek , Is attempting - tempting to do most damage to tile cause of union labor by running a sweat hiop , takInp jobs from shops that are avoided by union TIllS IS ft " .hli'fll- And speahdng of "Jewela"-dld it ever cc- ctmr to you that there's only one really safe gasahine stove-anti thmat'a the "Jo's ci.

It Is not the Intention of tile union to lmiatigumrnte a boycott , It is content umlder the hroeut coil- uhithons to let the facts be known and rely on tile sympathy of the public to aurtaiui it. This Is the attitude , as exprerred by Mr , berman. Tim dispute between Barrett & Johnson apd the imnion rernaimle Wili'ro it begun , tim lIouse denying that it attenlpted to put in operatIon a lower schedule of wages. Tim advent of i'pl'iilg has Cailsed the usual quickening of business with the tailors and Mr. hleermail says that on account of the spring demand all union ehop are fairly busy. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Seyimig for UlClllli'd % 'onien , The scheme , mentioned a tea' weeks ago , for providing emllphoyment for 501mm of the womnen of the city out of work SOeflIs floW in a fair vay to be carried out.

The intention is to educate horse- cheers to such an extent that the trade will become more of an "art" than It is at pros. ent.
