Deepairing of Permiesion He Commits Su‘cide, From a gentleman who came up from Lincoln yesterday we obtain the particalars of a suicide, which oc- carred in that city yesterday, and the victim of which seems to deserve pity rather than condemnation, from the world. In this case, as in many an- other, whisky seems to have been the prime cause of the saicide’s troubles, which finally culminated in remorse, deepair and self-destruction. The name of the unfortunate man wae William O. Coons, and he came to Lincoln about two weeks ago from Germantown, Ohio, where he has a mother and sister still residing, as will be seen. Some thirteen years ago he was married to the only daughter of a prominent and_wealthy bosiness man of Cincinnati, Ohio. Diesipated hab- its caused an unpleasant married life, and after ten years of wedded misery, ife_obtained a separation from him, since which time he has lived mostly upon money ob- tained from his former wife out ot her sympathy for hisdestitute con- dition. Some months azo Mrs. Coons marriod Mr. W. W. Charles, of Lin- coln, and refased to keep up the sup- Jdy of money, which was always spent in dissipation. In December Mr. Coons, hearing that Charles pro- posed embarking In buiness in Lincoln came there expecting employ- ment, or to earna living in some man- uer. _ His former wife had, however, remained 1n the east, on scvount of the death of her father, which oc- curred on the 24th of December, and Mr. Charles did not as may natarally supposed fecling like taking the m: in and supporting him. Coons, who was & juiet, respectable man of about thirty-five years of aze, registered at one of the hotels in Lin- coln, from which he wrote letter first to the man who had married his for- mer wife, asking for forgiveness for what he had doue in the past, saying that it was whiskey which had been His ruin, and that he was money- lees and friendless. He asked to be permitted to work for Charles for his board and clothes for which he prom- ised to be a faithful servaut as long as he lived. The day afier this letter was sent he wrote another to his former wifo, Mrs. Charles, in which the substance of the first letter was ro- peated. He sdded: “Please don't turn me away for God's sake, and 1 will always treat yoursclf and husband with the most profound recpect, and the past will be forgotten and your husband will be to me as my sister and brother, Please intercede with your husband for me, because I don't re- member anything that I have done. For Heaven's sake give me a place to sloep and something to eat, and I will be your slave.” The last letter was written on the 29th of December, anl the proprietor and puests of the house where he wae stopping noticed his despondeut air, and that there was some heavy troubl, hanging over him. On Wednesda; he was unusually melavcholy, and at- terpacing the office for a while retired carly to bed. Yesterday morning he failed to come down to breakfast as woal, and when the dinner hour had passed without his putting in an appearance, an in- vestigation was made and it was di covered that he was in a dying condi- tion from the effects of morphine powders, which he had evidently taken the night before. Dr. Mercer, of this city, was smong the gussts bo- low, and, with another physician, was immediately summoned, but at once gave it as his opinion that the man could mot recover. He died about 4 a’clock last evening. Mr. Charles notified the officers that be would pay tho expenses of the man's funeral and tosee that he had a decent burial. _After his death, a Jot- ter dated Jan. 34, 'rom Germantown, 0., was received from his sister, which thows that however much wreck he might have become, the had not yet cast him off.

The Burlington Road Grap- ples With Gould’s Monop- oly in Utah, And This Time They are Going Through to the Pacific. It is ramored that the C., B. & Q authorities will,at their meetingin Chi- oago to-day, relative to the faturc management of their lately scquired line, the K. C., 8t. Jo & C. B. road, appoint Mr. A. E. Touzlin, of this ity, the general manager of that line as well a8 of the B, & M. in Nebrasks. Tn that eventitis expected that the headquarters of the K. C. road will be consclidated either with the C., B. & Q. general offices in Chicago, or with those of the B. & M. in this city. In this connection it may not be in* appropriate to state that the people controlling the Barlington road on last Wednesday filed with the suditor of Utah territory articles of incorpo- ration of the Denver & Pacific railway company, organized to construct and operate a line of railway from Ogden to the boundary line of Culorado and Utah, being intended to connect at that pont with a railrosd from Den- The etimated cost of construc- tion is $3,750,000, The Chicago Tribune says: There can no longer be any doubt that the Burlington company is now determined to have an_indepondent line through to the Pacific. The B. & M. in Nebraska is now within 250 miles of Denver, and this gap will 1o _doubt be flled in next year. Nothing has yet besu decided upon as to the oomiencement of work or the Yoe from Denver to Salt Leke City. Its construction will no doubt depend greatly upon the attitud of Jay Gould towards ib Burlington. It wae stated in yester- day’s Tribume that Gould intends to build a line from Julesburg, on the Union Pacific, to Denver, thus making a short line from the latter point to Owaba_and Chicago. In the sume counection it was stated thst Gould also contemplates the extension of the Central Branch Union Pacifie'railroad from ite present terminus at Cawker City to Denver, thus creating parallel routes both north and south of the Borlington & Missouri Riverin Nebras- ka. The Barlington scheme for a new line to the Pacific has evidently been gotten up principally to theckmate Mr. Goald. ~ Should Gould try to bot tle up o savdwich the Burlington, as indicated above, then the new line Denver will be built. se, however, abanden the we of cxtendiog the Union Pa- cific and Central Branch roads to Denver, aid agree to treat the lington with fairnese, then the new Pacific route from Denvor west is not likehy to be constructed very eoon. ver.

The Farmers' Complete Their Organization, And Pass Resolutions That Mean Something. With the Assertion That They Shall be Enforced —_— Spacial Corresponaence of Titn Bre. LixcoLy, January 6.—Yesterday's letter cl sed with the state conven- tion of farmers still in session, the concluding proceedings of which are here given: THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE. The following letter from the Na- tional Alliance was read: *Prrrsrorp, N. Y., Dec. 24, «J. Barrows, Eeq “Dear Sti—It gives me great pleasure to lears, through the public prints, that a meeting is to be held by Nebraska farmers to organize a state alliance. Of the necessity of such organization it is not necesary to speak. Every man knows best for himeelf where the shoe pinches; 1 cannot suppose Nebraska farmers are 50 exceptionally circumstanced as not t0 bo pinched at all. ““Much it, and_has been sald about the prosperity of the country, but it is quite well understood that whatever prosperity exists is due first to the in- dustry and the profits of American farmers. The great bulk of Ameri- can exports to Europe consists of ag- ricultural products, snd theso largely drawn from the west and northwest. But it is essential that if these pro Qucts shall bo carriod to the sesboard, the transportation compinies shall leave some proiit to the men who grow the crops which are enriching the country. The opposite policy of rail- road managers of taxing products they transport * all they will bear,” ie 0t more hurtful to farmera than to the clsssea dependent upon them. In orgarising against such extortions, farmera aro contending for tha best intercets of all clasecr, not exc. tho railroad menagers, who & probably read a ves about the man who killed the goose who laid the golden egs. Farmers liave long been used to being plucked, but for the good of their country they object to their industries being kiled ““The New York State Farmers' Alliance has, and continues to have, an excellent influence in faver of the farmers of this state, Assuring you of otir hearty sym- pathy in your efforts, and wishing yoa every possible succces, I am very traly yours. “Wa. J. Fowier.” ON CONSTITUTION. The_following were appoiuted a committee on coustitution: W. L. Osborne, of Gage; J. J. Saville, of Bufslo; Pratt, of Johnson; Anderson, Weat, of Otoe. OX RESOLUTIONS. Following were appointed a commit- tee on resolutions: (ngersoll, of Johu- son; A. D. Ritchie, Semard; T. G. son, Boone; E. Shugart, Gage; R. W. Graybill, M. Heat, Clay; —— Armstrong, York; G. L. Rouse, Hall; Morton, Cass; Allen Ropt, Doring the absence of these com- glas, lled upon to_again addrees the convention. He said that it cost about $2.50 per car to trans- port corn from_Lincoln to Chicago, and for this outlay the railroads taxed the farmer aboug $50. The growth ana influence of corporate powers has be- come alarming. The authority of Jay Gould to-day trauscends that of Presi- dent Hayes. Tom. Scottsaid he would not surrenderhis position as president of the Peaneylyvania road to be pres- ident of the United States. By a twist of a pencl theso men can rob any state of half its products. Tho presont of railroading is to chargo the )nuy the products will bear. It s $500 for transporting ore 1,000 per ton, and $250 for ringa ton worth 8500, and railroads think they are making a tair divide. [Loughter.] Lawa should be passed compelling them to charge all wen alike. Therd has been a great deal said about “vested righta.” Thirty year: ago we never heard of such a thing. Whateyer rights railroads have have been given them by the people; the roads cxist by legislative action and should be regulated by legislative action. [Applause.] Is it auy wonder panies can buy up legislatures! Wen- dell Paillips” said that when Tom Scott went to San Francisco every swiog of his coat tail knocked down a legialatgre. [Applause.] 1f & member of our present le ture betrays our interests in rogard to this railroad question, the people have one remedy—when he retarned home, hang him [applause], and he will neyer do it again. ~[Applause and laughter.] Two such hanginga in the state of Nebraska would be all tha required. [Applause.] TROF. CULRERTSON, of the State Agricultural Farm being callod upon, said he sympathized with the objects of the assemblage. He held that the way to regulate the evils comy lained of was through the primarics, where such men should bo sclected as legislatorass arethoroughly identified with the interests of the paople as agaivst imp sitions of mon- opolies. worth t railroad com- DE. K. § MALOSEY, of Richardson, followed Brof, Cul- bectaon. in response to loud calls up- 0a him, and said this question under consideration was one of absorbing interest. It is not noceseary for me to add any.hing in order to show the burdens and grievances of the people of this stato, in consequence of the high tariff ‘imposed upon every- g trmsported by the rail- roade. You may bo eure you you are not actlng here one bit ahead of the wishes of the people of the cutire state. [Applause.] They are demanding all you can do and more, Let us be determined and stand shoulder to shoulder—farmers, trades- men, merchants, professional men, and men in all legitimate industries, for wo are all interested In this question. [Applanse.] The highest legal authority in the land, on con tutional questions, Jeremiah Black, [Long continued applause.] has said that the state_and national legls tures have aright to regulate by law railroad traffic. He denies the owner- ship of the roads by the managers of those roads. [Applause.] That the ownership belonga to the people, and they have the right to regulate the tarifis on those roads. [Appl This convention should take mest to put that letter of Jeremiah in the hands of every intelligent farmer in the state. [Applause ] There can bo no doubt as to the right of the legislature over the rail- roads within the state. I¢ the logal vight Is there to remedy thes evils, is it not right that the people who have donated lands snd money enough to build the U. P. and B. & M. roads— aye, two or three ‘imes the amount necessary to do it—is it not equitable and just that we should exercise that rightl [Applause.] It is not contem- plated by the farmers of Nebraska to institute any measures unfriendly to the interests of the rosds. We are not communists; we ate not revolu- ticoists—we are law-abiding men, snd demand that these railroads shall abide by the law. [Applase.] The way to regulate this matter is to have an expression of sbntithent iti every county in the state at once, and. very member instructed by his con- stituency to pass measures tending to correct these evils, _This must be de- manded at the bands of the legisla- ture and soch demand must be en- forced. [Applause.] The time is coming when the fate of the legislator who betrays the people on this ques- tion will be like that of Judas, who betrayed his Mastor for thirty pleces of silver. [Applause.] The report of the committee on constitution for a permanent farmers’ alliance was presented and adopted, and tha convention, at 11 p. m., ad journed until 8 o'clock this morning. TO-DAY’S PROGEEDINGS. The committee on permanent organ- ization reported the following a3 PERMANENT OFFIC) of the Alliance: E. R. Ingersoll, of Johnson, presi- dent; G. H. Gale, W. W. Weat, Allen Root, George Licbert, J. J. Seville, and D. Hale, vice presidents; J. Bur- rows, secretary, and W. A, Town. Adopted, and the vote of the conven- tion for eaid officers was cast by the secretary. RINGING RESOLUTIONS were then adopted by the assemblage, as follows! Whereas, Tt is notorious that the railway corporations operating rail- roads under national and state char- ters,in the state of Nebraska, have abused the privileges conferred upon hiom as public carriers, by flagrant discriminations againt perauns and lo- calitios, hy oppressive exaotion of tolls, by favoritism, by watering of stocks znd povliitz of carnings and a total disregard of the requirements of our constition, which in scctions 1 and 7 of article 11, reads as folluwa: Section 1. Every railroad corpor- ation organized or doing business in thie state nndar the laws or authority tiureof, or of any other state, or cf the United States, shall havo and maintain a public offica or placein this tate for the transaction of its bu s, where transfers of atock shall be made, snd in which shall be kept, for public inapection, books in which shall be recorded the amount of capital stock subscribed, and by whom, the names of the owners of its stock, and the amounts cwned by them respeo- tively, the amount of stock paid iu, ond by whom, th transfers of sald stock, the amount of its assets and liabilities, snd the names and plices | The difec: | of tostdence of its officere tors of every railroad corporation, or other parties haviog control of its road, shall annually make a report, under oath, to the auditor ¢f public accounts, or somo other officer to bs desiguated by law, of the amount re- reitod [rom passengers snd freight and euch other matters relating to railroads as may be prescribed by law. And the legislature shall pass laws en- forcing by suitable penaltics the pro- visions of this eection.” “Sectlon 7. The legielature shall pass laws to correct_abuses and pre- vont unjuat discrimination and extor- tion in’all charges of express, tele- graph, and railroad companies in this stato, and enforce such laws by ade- quate penaltits, to the extent; if nec- essary for that purpose, of fotfeiture of their property and franchises.” Thereforo be it, by the Farmer's Alliance of Nebraska, Resolved, That the leglslature of 1881 is respectfully requested to pass laws to enforce these constitutional provisions, by providing ad:quate pen- alties for their violation. Resolved, That the extortionate bridge tolls exacted by the Union Pa- cific Railroad company at Omaha, and the Burlington & Missouri Ratiroad st Plattsmotith, for tranafarring froight and passengors across the Mis- eouri river is a serious drawback to the growth and prosperity of tho state Resolved, That theso companies, having been endowed by the national government and aided by liberal don- ations of bonds and lands by our own have received ample componsa- tion for theextra outlay in construct- ing these bridges; and we demand, on behslf of tho producers of this state that the tolls uver theso bridges bo reduced to milsage rates by the res- pective roads: Resolred, That the beat interest of the northwest demands that the na- sional congress at Washington take immediate measurea toward the open- ing and improvement of the Missourl river, s0 that the said river sholl be- come one of the highways for freight transportation and travel. Resolved, That we respectfully re- quest the present legislature of the state of Nebrackt to memorialize the congress of the United States to pass such lawa as will secure the speedy improvement of the Missouri riverand mileage rates over the bridges across said river. wolved, That we, the farmers of Nebraska, and members of the several alliances and farmers’ clubs of the state declare ourselves absolved from all party allegiance in to far as they conflict with our interests aad prodaces and pledge ourselves to labor for the nomiaation and election to office of men identified with us in interest without regard to party aflil- iations ““Wiercas, Certain parties are try- ing to eeize the public domain dedi- cated to. homestead privileges in the wes'ern part of our state to be used a8 & stock range; therefore, “HKesolved, That our legislature should pass a euitable law for the pro- tection of homesteaders from the de- struction of their crops by stock, and to memorialize congress to not take the lands in the western part of tha state, devoted to homestead purposes, out of the market and convert them into a great stock range to be used by corporate capital. “Resoly'd, That the papers of Ne- braska are requested to publish the full procecdings of this convention, in- cluding the constitution aud resolu- tions.
