LINCOLN' , Juno 12 ( Special ) Since the
announcement of the change of superintend-
cuts at the Lincoln asylum things have run
qulto an smoothly ns the shim reformers
could wish The friction started , of course ,
because Dr. Abbott concluded tint Coflln
had boon quietly undermining him for some
time Just before Dr. Abbott was to leave
the Institution there was n tnnquet in hlfl
honor given by the employes , nnd In the
course of which Dr Abbott made a talk Ho
referred several times to the treachery of
Ingo , and In speaking of the past history ot
the asylum said It was a matter of record
that Dr. Hay did not get charge of the
asylum by "undermining his superior" One
of the employe * who took part in the ban
quet describes the doctor's speech as belnp
full ot blttcrnew and scorn toward his false
friend , and sa > s that during the references
to lago Dr. Coflln "sat there and blinked
his eyes like a toad In a thunder storm "
Soon after the binquct there wa3 sonic
trouble over the planln and bulbs In the
conservatory that the state pajs out money
to immtnln. Coflln Intimated that Abbott
wai looting the conservatory , while Abbott's
partisans claimed that the only plants that
were being removed were some choice onoa
that Mrs Abbott had put In there from her
jirlvato stock some time prevlouu
In spite of Coffin's anxiety to protect the
conservatory from looters , he did not hesi
tate to draw on the flower garden for the
benefit of hi * own friends. One day during
the s-uno week that the tirade was raised
about Abbott arrangements were made by
Cullln to send jme choice bulbs to relatives
and friends at North Loup. They were to
bo taken from the conservatory , but so
much delay was occasioned that the con
veyance arrived at the train too late and
the North Loup friends had gone. It Is
supposed the package was then sent by ex-
jircEB and that North Loup his some rare
samples of bulbs produced at the expense of
the state
The trouble at the Institution goes right
on since the departure of Dr Abbott and Is
not confined to the flower buolncss toy any
means Dr Collin has started In to clean
out the democratic emplojos In order to
make room for populist friends Saturday
ono of the most valuable employes In the
Institution was let out and the place given
to n populist hailing from the Loup country.
Other changes arc expected during1 ths
month. In the meantime the omplojcs who
TV ere lojal to Dr. Abbott do not hesitate to
express their very small opinion of the new
superintendent and some of them say that.
If .1 political revolution Is necessary to get
rid of this stripe of populist officeholders
they are ready to vote the republican ticket
at the first opportunity.

The police authorities ot this city have
found a clue that may lead to the Identifi
cation of the parents of the 6earold child
that was found on the doorstep of the house
occupied by A A Lasch one early morning
several dajs ago The Infant Is a par
ticularly bright one and the costly clothes
It was wrapped up In when found Indicate
that Its pirents are well-to-do people. De
tective Malonc has been at work on the caae
for several dajs and today ho succeeded In
establishing to a certainty the Identity of
the woman who brought the child to the
city. The present whereabouts of this
woman Is unknown , but the police do not
anticipate any great trouble In finding her.
The day before the child was found on
the doorstep by Mr. Lasch a woman regis
tered at the Capital hotel hero as "Mrs
W. A. Watson , Deadwood. " She had with
her a little child , which she told the hotel
people was her daughter. The babe was
admired by many people about the hotel
and a number of them have Identified the
child found by Mr. Lisch as the ono seen
at the hotel. During the afternoon the
woman left the child under the care of one
of the chambermaids emplojed at the hotel.
This woman has also Identified the child.
There Is still a farther bit of evidence tint
established the truth of the whole storj.
Mrs. Wateon Is reported to have told several
people at the hotel that the child's name
was Volnoy Clare. This Is the name given
In a note pined to the clothing of the found
ling. Mrs. Lasch resided for awhile In
Deadwood , but she remembers no one by the
name of Watson. However , she thinks It
quite probable that the woman has heard
some of her friends in Deadwood speak of
her. Mr. and Mrs. Lasch have decided to
keep the child until It Is claimed by Its
parents.

CHICAGO , June 12 As the Chicago ,
Rock Island & Pacific west-bound express
train pulled Into Qcnosco , 111 , 150 miles
south of Chicago , at 9 60 o'clock last night ,
three cars left the track and crashed Into
a stock train standing on a siding Fifteen
passengers were Injured and the three care

Unknown woman.
The train was made up of ten cars , two
chair cars and a smoker being nt the rear.
\Vlthln half a mtlo of the Geneseo station
n stock train was standing on the siding.
The switch was closed and locked. The
passenger train was slowing down for the
station and the engine and seven cars
lasscd tlio switch In safetj , but the smoker
eft the rails at the switch and with the
two chair cars following crashed Into the
stock train engine , demolishing the three-
passenger cars completely. Had the three
cars been welt ill led loss of life would
doubtless have resulted.
After the accident the switch was cxam-
, ned and found to bo still safely closed.
The cause of the accident has not yet been
determined. The Injured were at once taken
to Goncseo and cared for and an hour later
: hree tars replaced those demolished and the
train proceeded.
\ SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
A short tlmo ago the commission men and
others doing business at the stock jards
signed a petition to the Omaha Street Rail
way company asking for cotter street car
service on the South Omaha line and also
requesting that all main tine trains be run
wc t en N street to Twenty-sixth , thence
south to Q , east to Twenty-fourth and north
to N , making a loop. . Yesterday a reply
was received from W. ' A. Smith , general
manager of the street railway company ,
saying that the plan of building the loop
spoken of was all arranged for at one time ,
"but the same trouble arose that does so
frequently In our endeavors to do some good
thing for the South Omaha dlstrlH. " Con
tinuing Mr. Smith writes. "What suits the
Stock exchange and those connected there
frequently docs not socm to fit the case of
the eastslders , who In this case were very
bitter In their opposition. I am sure our
people will bo glad to consider any reasona
ble proposition at tiny-time that will meet
the wants ot the city erfcrbjty.i1' .
While there is not as much encourage
ment In the reply of Manager Smith as was
hoped for , ho certainly stated facts when
'lie said that the loop was all arranged for
at cne time. This was -when vestibule 1
motors first came Into service and the old
switch south of N street had to be aban *
doned. Arrangements were made at that
time to build the loop , but men on N street ,
between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-sixth ,
objected on the ground that prospective
patrons would ride directly past their doors
Instead of walking , as they arc now com
pelled to do. It was In deference to the
wishes of these business men that the loop
was abandoned and the Y at 0 street was
built.
It would certainly be a great convenience
to these having- business at the stock yards
If the street cars were run around a loop , as
has been suggested , but if this cannot be
accomplished \\lthout tco much opposition
the old plan of having the Hanscom park
Jlne extended from Shcely to the stock
jards may be taken up. The distance from
Sheely , the present terminus of the line , to
the north entrance to the stock yards is
only about a mile and a half. By making
this extension South Omaha would be given
two lines to Omaha and thus greatly lighten
the traffic on the Twenty-fourth street line
It Is possible that the commission men may
take up this project with a view to ascer
taining what the street car company feels
inclined to do In the matter.
Killed li > the Car * .
Frank Krejcel , a laborer employed at the
Cudahy plant , was run over In the railroad
yards about 5 o'clo-k yesterday afternoon
and killed , The accident occurred at a point
a few j-ards west of the Armour cattle via
duct. Two refrigerator cars were standing
on the middle track at this point when four
loaded refrigerators were turned loose at
the puzzle switch above nnd allowed to drop
down to the two stationary cars. The Im
pact moved the cars a short distance down
tbo track and Krejcel was knocked down
and run over. H Is not known whether
Krejcel was standing on the track at the
time or whether ho was walking between
the rails with his back to the train , The
body was horribly mangled and brijsed , the
left arm being nearly severed at the shoul
der , while the wheels passed over the abdo
men , making a ghastly wound. Although
unconscious from the time of the first shock
life was not extinct for some fifteen min
utes after the body had been removed from
under the cars. Krejcel was a married
man , but his family still resides In Bohemia
He boarded with a sister at Twelfth and
Center streets , Omaha. On account of Cor
oner Swenson having made arrangements
to leave the city todaj the Inquest was heli
at Hcafey's undertaking rooms last night
and a verdict in accordance with the facts
was rendered.

The local electric light company an

rate which has been in effect for a couple oi
years and hereafter bills will be rendered
monthly on meter readings The minimum
rate was $1 and no bills were rendered for
