Dr. Miller, in speaking on the reso- lutions, added a fitting tr.bute to the life and character of Col. Smith, de- plored the crime as a blow to the so- cial order and good name of the city, which he thought should now rise up and vindicate the majesty of the law. The villain should be pursued with the utmost energy, and the method of bringing about _vigorous measures, by raising a fund by subscription, was advocated. United States District Attorney Lamberteon, in a pointed address, said, among other things: “The crime was committed in the postoftice building, and 1 have notified the de- partment and believe they will send a detective here to hunt the assaesin, And I believe that such was the love of the department for this man that they will join with the state is seeing that the assassin is not only hunted down, but that the hide is stripped from his back when he is found.” General John O.

The Fast Trains From Chicago and to Denver. Sevoral residents of Omaha were on the firat d express” on the Pennaylvania Central line, which ran from New York to Chicago in twonty- six hours. They speak of tho ride as a most delightful one, and unattended by a delay or accident. Every train thus far on this fast line has made its time, and the experiment is an assured and triumphant success. The Union Pacific train from the west, known as No, 4, made up two hours and three quarters Kriday afternoon in her run in and arrived only an hour behind time. The de- lay was caused by the Central Pacific train being four hours late. About two hundred emigrants went wostward Saturday There were a goodly proportion of Americans in the number. A young couple. who met each other for the first time at the transfer depot in the afternoon, con- cluded to take the trip together and 80 were made as one by a justice of the peaco on this side. EXPEDITING STAR ROUTES, In connection with tho new mail service on the Denver ‘‘short line” it is learned that tho carrying of the mail from Julesburg to Denver will “‘expedite” two or three star routes between these points to the extont of duing away with them. The saving to the gevernment by this will more than pay foa the new mail route. The Union Pacific road con- sented to carry pouches of mail to all points between hero and Julesbure free of charge until the new mail cars shall be built and put on. By these arrangemonts for mail sorvice on the ‘“‘short line” the government 18 not only not put to additional expente, but will actually save money. Some very nice figuring has been done in arranging these matters, for which the postoffice officials here should re- ceive no small share of the credit. SPECIAL NOTICES.

Enquire at Bee of teams were standing at the Tenth street crossing, waiting for the passage of a freight train, two large horses at- tached to the wagon of Frisco & Co. (Omaha Safe company), became frightened at the escape of steam from an engine, The frantic animals at first plunged forward, and then to one side, completely wrecking the wagon which was behind them. Among the other teams there was a single horse and democrat wagon, be- longing to George Collins, a second- hand stove dealer on Douglas street. The pole of the safe wagon was plunged into the side of Collins' horse, and a hook en the end pierced the poor animal’s flanks, tear- ing a gaping wound about a foot in length. Colling’ wagon was entirely demolished, After one or two more fierce lunges one of the frightened team fell and they were secured with- out further daunger. Collins' horse will probably die. The total loss by the accident, including the value of the horse, is nearly $400. FREE OF COST.
