\ 9 LOUISVILLE'S WEALTH. The Kaohn Banks Uncover the Hidden Wealth of Hoover. Vast Quantities of Iron Ore in the Vioinity-Stout's Qaavries. | Corrospondence of The Bee. Lovisvitie, Neb., November 1.— There are few towns in the state of | Nobraska that possess greater natural ages than Louisville, in Cnes | , and there are many towns, even including those of ten times (hu“ population that have not half the re- AOUrCOs. Why it is that vot developed more of its hidden wealth has been a wonder to all who are posted in regard to that wealth, THE KAOLIN BANKS of Louisville have no equal in all the west. Yesterday, in company with Mr. B. G. Hoover, your correspondent examined the bank and its surround. ings. A stratum of nearly thirty foet of the most beautiful white clay, pure and unmixed with foreign matter, is here opened, and it is now sup- plying the Louisville potteries and [y rlrgw list of their patron's with fire brick and crude koalin for fire clay and other purposes. BRICK. A Jarge kiln is now being burned, and such brick! They were as firm as pottery ware, and of a lovely croam color. ‘“There is material enough in this bank to supply all Nebraska and Towa with the first quality of brick and the best pottery for a hundred years to come.” Sosaid our guide, and whenhe exp'ained that the surrounding bluffs were underlaid with this kaolin 1 could not doubt the truth of his es- timate. “Prof. Aughoy has never examined this bank; no scientist has ever told its value. You are tho firat represen- tative of a daily paper that lhas ever seen it,” so Horner, its sole owner, told me. “But,” said he, ‘‘some time ago eastern capitalists, having heard what I had found, came out here and after prospecting around offered meo ,000 for the but knowiug thew to be worth stly higher figure. I rofused, and already my income from the propert; is much more than the interest woul be on that sum. T get one dollar and seventy-five cents a_ton for all the kaolin used by the Louisville pottery works, and almost every train carries away somo of it to lime furnaces, etc. If theré were a hundred times the quantity of crocks, tiles and pipes made in Louisville that are now turned out there would still be a de- mand at profitable figures for more.” Mr. M. D. Polk, proprieter of the pottery works, corroborated the state- ment and assured me that the clay was in many respects superior to an, thing in the country and that all he wanted was more capital to make his fortune, and asked that I put into my correspondence the fact that his al- ready extensive works were not one- Louisville has | . tenth the size they should be and that he would take a back seat for some one that would put in the necessary cash, IRON. For ten yems I have traveled in Nebraska, visiting its remotest parts and prying into its secrets, but one A A T T any one who would have talked to me about aniron mine in Nebraska. How- ever, I am now the individual to state that T have examined hundreds of tons of ore containing from twenty to eighty per cent. of iron. This ore is iled up around the kaolin bank, for it overlies it and, in digging the kaolin, the iron is yocessarily romov- ed. This oro was evidently in a mol- ate when it wasrun over these Globes of this cast-iron when broken open arefound to contain a beautiful purple sand. 1 opened and examined some of these curious speci- mens. Many of these nature’s cast- ings have the appearance, when brok- en of pure cast iron, THE QUARRIES, Ttis a well known fact that the best building stone in the state comes from Louisville, and in this town “‘Boss” Stout has a large two-story bulding filled with his quarry hands, Tho ring of the stone drill and the dull thud of the blast are here the most common of sonuds, THE RAILROADS. Long years ago the B. & M. mana- gers came to the Hoovers who then owned all of the land in this vicinity, and receiving from them liberal in- ducements, a depot was erectod and this was followed by a water tank; side tracks and all the gamphnrmlin of a first-class station. But now comes the Missour: Pacific and bridges the Platte right in front of Louisville, and the structure is nearing completion. Right of way was given freely by the Hoovers on condition that a side track should be lad to the kaolin banks, and now the cutting and filling is go- ing Sundays as woll as week days, and the second railroad w?l ero long give competing rates for the freight of Louisville. The Missouri Pacific de- pot grounds are very extensive, A NEW WAGON ROAD is to be opuned through the ravine Just north of town, which will avoid the steep hills encountered on the present main road to the rich prai- ries south of town. THE COUNTY BEAT, Plattsmouth, the present county seat, is in the northeast corner of Cass county, and some say that the court house must go west and grow up with the country. When it is put on wheels Louisyille will have a word to say about its location, and being only about two miles from the Cass county center of population, there is a very good chance for her say to be the popular one. &otwithlhndinz all of these varied and gigantic advantages, Louisville, acoording to the census, has but 327 inhabitauts, and probably she would be richer if balf of them were dead. The other half would certainly be overjoyed at the opportunity for at-| Y | agonies of death. nd energy would in ten years make | Louisville into a little Pittsburg. There is some of the right material | poverty and don't wish to give up ail | they own to capitalists that want to | “hog it,” but men with money who will give a living show {0 the sturdy | pioneers will meet with a warm wei- come, | ODDS AND ENDA.

Raxaek, Bloody Fight With Cowboys: 8an Frnclsco Call. A manguinary shooting affray occur- red at Tombstone, Arizons, on the 26th ult.. Four cow-boys had been in town for a few days past, drinking heavily and making tflomulvuublmx- iousby their boisterous conduct. This morning, the City Marshal, V. W. Earp, arrested one for disorderly con- duct, and ho was fined $26 and dis- armed in the Justice’s Ccurt. He loft, swearing vengeance on the Sher- iff and Marshal Earp, and his brother Morgan tried to induce them to leave the town, but thoy were thirsting for gore, and refused to be pacified, About three o'clock p. m.; the Earp brothers and J. H. Halliday met the four, who drew upon them at once, when a live- ly tire commenced from the cow-boys agmnst the three citizens. About thirty shots were fired, rapidly, When the smoke of battle u{unmd away, it was found that Jim and Frank McLoury were gasping in the Bill Clarton was mortally wounded in tne shoulder, the wounds being thought serious;and V. W. Earp had a flesh wound in the calf of the leg. Halliday escaped un- hurt, wi h several bullet-holes in his clothin The streots immediately filled with resolute citizens, many of whom were armed with rifles and pis- tols. Thore was great excitement, bnt no further trouble is anticipated. lke Clanton, one of the cow-boys, escaped with a slight wound, and is now ia jail. Tho sherifl's posse is now underarms. Mergan Earp, after being wounded and fallen, strugeled to his feet and continued to fight until he emptied his revolver. His wound is not thought to be serious. The citizens are determined to put down the riotous element at all hazards, A Musical Rat. Mr. Bishop, stage carponter at Piper's Opora House, now has a pet in tho shape of a musical, or rather, a music-loving, rat. He "discovered the animal on the occasion of the con- cort. Hefirst saw it onthe stage just as Frederick concluded his violin solo, How long it had been enjoying the music before his attention was called to it no one knows. A boy first saw it and kicked at it, saying: ‘‘Look at therat!” Mr. Biehop then kicked at it, and finding that it acted strangely, hardly making an effort to get away, began to think it was attracted by the music. Boon, however, it went into a holein the floor near at hand. In the second part of the entertainment, which again began with a violin solo by Frederick, the rat again made it ap- pearance. A scene was in the first groove which had a doorin the centre, and behind this wero about a dozen persons, and yet the rat passed across the whole width of the stage among them, then came back to the centro and sat down at the door. Some of the gentlomen were aout to demolish his ratship, but Mr. Bishop begged thom to let Lim alone. The rat sat upright after the fashion of a kanga- roo and scemeod in a perfect tremor of excitement. The ladies did not much relish the presence of the long-tailed connoisseur, but he was allowed to re- main until the solo was finished. As one of the ladies had then to through the door to the front of tfi: stago, the rat was driven away. All who saw the avtions of the little ani- mal are confident that it was attracted by, and under the influence of, the musie,—[Virginia City (Nev.) Enter prise, 's Appearance.

A Romantio Chapter in His Life. His Call From the Brownville Folks At 4 o'clock yesterday the in- trepid swimmer, who has been resting in Omaha for several days, left on his down trip. A large crowd was gathered on tho river bank all day, and watched his departure. He received a telegram from Brownsyille yesterday offering him fifty dollars and the receipts to lecture there and this he accepted, It will be his only lecture on the Missouri river, the weathor preventing his engagement here from being filled. He will reach Brownsville Friday evening. At St. Joe he will only stop to get his mail. HIY MAIL, Quite a number of letters were for- warded the swimmer at this point, and, to show his cosmopolitan char- acter, there wero in his mail yester- day letters from Australia, South America, France and Germany, as well as saveral from the United States. The Australian letter contained an offer of §5,000 and all expenses of going and roturning, and while thore, for a short engagement there, in which the captain was to give the exhibition ar- ranged by him in Europe. The same man had made three previous offers, which were refused. A letter was also received from his little. nephew in Flushing, Lon Island, which indicated that the chil was a close student of Beadle’s tamous works. He requested his uncle Paul to kill an Indian and bring it to him, and rogretted that he could not be out west t0 help him, THAT ENGAGEMENT. The announcement in the Council Bluffs Nonpareil that Capt. Boyton and Miss Helon Harold, o}‘tho ice combjnation, had created a sensation in Omaha by their engagement, and that they had been old friandu in Long Island, has been copied in various pa- ers throughout this section of woods. 'he stutement was not exactly cor- rect. The truth is that Miss Harold's father, who was a wealthy Florida planter, married a Spanish lady of noble descent, from whom the girl derives her beauty, and that after the war the family removed to the king- dom of Alphonso. Therc the fair Holen’s education was received at the hands of the best teachers in the royal court. At the time of the cap- tain's trip down the Tagus, sie had received an appointment as maid of honor to Mercedes, then the beau- tiful queen of Spain, and was present when the latter conferred on Captain Boyton the order of the Knight's Hos- pitallera of St. John. She was struck with his manly bearing and his bravery, which was creating such a sensation in Europe, and the feeling was reciprocated by the captain and theybecame engaged, Mercedes herself sanctioning the suit. In the mean- time the captain went to Peru and en- gaged in the torpedo service, was cap- tured and condemned to be shot. He mado his escape, but the rumor of his death reached Madrid, and his fiance, half crazed by the shock, would have lost her reason had she not come to America and buried herself for a time in the old home in Florida, where she painted, wrote and passed the time, The captain had escaped and curiously enough heard that his Spanish sweet- heart was dead. He soon after mar- ried the daughter of the American consul at Lima, who had saved his life by swimming from Lima to the Island of San Juan Fernandez in the night and in a terrible thunder storm, deceiving the Chilians, who took her for the captain and were drawn off in pursuit of her, while the prisoner escaped. The captain’s family, con- sisting of his wife and two pretty lit- tle children, now reside in New York. The captain met his former love here for the first time since their separa- tion, each believing the other éund, and the changes in the life and plaris of each having removed all but friend- ship from their relations to each other They are the bestof friends, but no more, and the report mentioned is an- noying to both of them, and Tur Ber makes this explanation as a matter of simple juatice to all parties. HIS TIME SCHEDULE. Capt. Boyton is unable to say what river towns he will pass by day and what by night. He can only take them as they come and, not intending to land, will simply give a bugle blast a8 he approaches and, perhaps, fire a rocket occasionally. He will stop off a short time at St. Joe, which place he will reach Saturday. He will arrive in Kausas City on Sunday even- ing between 3 and 4 o'clock ‘and take a rost there. At the mouth of the Missouri he will be met by o steamer from St. Louis and will be taken aboard, with Mr. Creelman and his boat. This will end his Yellowstone- Missouri voyage. Flying to Heaven. A negro went home from a Georgia camp-meeting in a state of ecstasy, d»- clared that he was going to heaven by the way of a tall tree that grew in the dooryard, climbed to a height of sev- enty feet, and then undertook to fi the rest of the journey.
