On Saturdey evening a terrible ac- cident cccurred nenr Omaha Siding, a point on the B. & M. road two miles from tho depot, where the eide track starts which crosses lower Far- nam strect. The viotim was William H. Reese, a man sbout thirty-eight years of age, and who resides with his family, consisting of a wife and two small children, ina little tent just opposite the fertilizing works and at the junction of the switch with the main track, Reese at one time worked at the smelting works asa puddler and there became leaded and was sick for some time, losing his speech, which he was just beginningtorecover. He worked at the Omaha fertilizing works for a time but on Friday went to work at the barb wire works at the foot of Dodge street. He had been there all day Saturday and was just returning home in the evoning when he met his death. He had taken the B. & M. side of the track, which is almost an air line to his house, and after interested parties were present, The presents were both numerous and elegant and the supper was everything that could be desired.

A short time before, an engine which does switching for the B, & M., A. & N. No. 53, had run up toward Farnam street and came down right behind Reese, drawing one car. There were several men walking on the track and all of them got off as the locomotive approsched except the victim. The whistle and the bell both sounded a warning, but the man paid no attention to them, and the crew, who were watching him, saw that he would be run down g0 the engineer, John Cox, ‘‘threw her over,” or in other worda reversed the engine. One of the crew was rid- ing on the front of the engine, which had no pilot, but only a step, saw the coming danger and reaching out with his arm endeavored to push Reese, who was at last starting to leave the track, out of the way. He spramed | O; his hand badly, but did not save the man, who fell across the rail and was instantly run over by the front wheel of the engine and his body severed in twain at the waist, the shreds of his by the gentlemen present, that the propo- sition to vote $100,000, to be expended in three years for the purpose of paving, would be right, and that Sixteenth and Cuming should be included in the paving districts, ~—Mr, Frank 8.

Coroner Jacobs was notified by tel- ephone from Boyd's packing house, A crowd soon collected, and among them was the wife of the unfortunate man, who had been informed of her hus- band’s death. After waiting for about a half an hour the body was, in ac- cordance with instructions from the coroner removed to the freight depot on Mason street, Here it was received by Coroner Jacobs, who, accompanied by Tur Bee reporter, had drniven down m his wagon, As there was some doubt as to the identity of the remaius . an engine was detailed to convey the officer and the reporter to the tent at Omaha Siding, where it was posed his wife resided, which .ugro-mun proved true. 6.

An answer to the telegram sent to Johnstown was received during the day saying to bury the remains here, After some consultation, the B. & M. representative offered to send the body and the family as far as Chicago froe of charge, which wonid reduze the expenses of a metallic case and transportation of the body and family to $110. Thir was telegraphed to Johnstown and an answer received last night, “Can’t stand it. remains there and send bill.” would indicate that the folks either not very well off or not unxio to have the family coms to them, ss the liberal offer of the B, & M. made the cost very low indeed, A SURPRISE PARTY. Bury the This are At Which a Bold Son of Mars Re- ceives a Lavely Reception. The other day quite a lively racket ocourred in a private boarding house, on one of our best streets, kept by a highly respectable dressmaker. One of the rooms occupied by an elderly gentieman was left open, as usual, for the gentleman to enter when he came home. Daring his ab- sence a soldier coolly walked into the room, and the lady supposing that 1t was the lodger did not trouble about the matter. Long after midnight the genuine lodger arrived and found the door of his room bolted. Not wishing to arouse the lady he lifted the sash of one of the windows and crept into the room, when, to his great surprise, he discov- ered a soldier peacefully reclining on the bed, He at once demanded an axi)hmtian, and the soldier not being able to give any the old gentleman took a big heavy cane and adminis- tered a terrible thrashing on the sol- dier. He chased him all over the yard before the soldier could find a means of exit. The gentleman sends a cordial invi- tation to the soldier to call again, when he will be received in the same kindly spirit.

Some Information Blicited at the Board of Trade Meeting. Tho Material Proposed, and Its Sucoess Elsowhere, A Further Investigation Ordered By the Meeting. the board of trade was held on Saturday evening, President B, G. Clark in the chair. Tho president called the meeting to order, and said that this mecting was called at the suggestion of Mayor Boyd, for the purpose of hearing an address from Mr. A, L. Barber, of Washington, D. C., on the subject of paving. Mr, Barber delivered a very in- teresting and exhaustive address on paving, from which we give the fol- lowing extracts: He eaid that the subject of paving had been discussed in all ages, and the world had not yet come to any decided conclusion on this subject. He was not going to troubfe’ them about the various kinds of pavements in use but would confine himself briefly to the history of his compressed concrete as- phalt, which has been laid with great success and has been found to possess advantages over all other forms of pavements, There is in Switzerland, in the cen- tral portion of BEurope, a rock which upon analysis is found to contan about 90 per cent of limestone or cor- bonate of lime impregnated with a black natural substance called bitu- men and also called asphalt, That rock was quarried as men quarry other kinds of stone and was laid on the sidewalks and paths in Switzerland. It was found that after the stone was broken up and laid down on the sidewalks, in the heat of summer and under the effect of the traffic that was upon it, the fragments united and the whole surface hecame as one sheet, the bitumen that was in it acting as a means of joining or cementing the various particles cogether. This sug- gested to a renchman that it might be introduced successfully in large cities, and in 1854 for the firet time some of that natural rock was brought to Paris and Jaid in small quantities in one of the streets there, with such vory satisfactory results that in that and following years more of it wes laid, until there is in Paris to-day at least 300,000 square yards of it laid down. There are several kinds of asphalt in use, the Neuchatel, Val de Tra- vers and Seyssell, which are named after the places which produces them. The advantages nf this asphalt was such in Paris that it was introduced in London in 1869. About that time all over this country there was a craze on the subject of concrete pavements, which lasted a year or two following the panic, There came over in the latter part of 1800 a Belgian, who was a chemist in his ewn country and who had been in Paris at the time this natural rock was used, He found {hat the cost of peving brought into New York would be §6 per ton at the mines, $5 for transporting it to Paris, and $16 for transporting it from Paris to New York, or about $20 per ton delivered at New York, and a still higher figure if delivered into interior cities. This brought the rice of the foundation to about $4, b, or $0 a square yard. e went to work and devised some- thing that would be equal to it, and, if possible, superior, and the result was the concrete he was advocating, In 1870 for the first time this asphalt was introduced into the city of New York. Sample blocks were laid 1n various parts of the city and they are there to-day and in good shape and in excellent condition con- sidering the crude primitive methods they had, and the limited amount of knowledge which are necessary in all such businesses. Certificates have been given by all the principal express companies bearing testimony that the pavement is in their opinion vastly % | superior to any other, In 1875 it was laid in Philadelphia fiom Walnut to Chesnut streets, this pavement is there to-day and is cer- tified to by citizens, and was dei ed as *‘a most remarkable piece of Pavemum" ina leading editorial in The Philadelphia Ledger. Washington prior to the war was, if poasible in a worse state than Oma- ha to-day, both in mud in wet weath- er, and dust in dry weather. About this time there was a great hue and ery to bring the capital from Wash- i.?hn to 8t. Louis. We have tura- what was the worst paved city in rib- | the states, into your best paved oity in this country, and home go so far as to say in the world. With regard to price this pavement with six wch hydraulic concrete foun- dation, including grading without curbing, he figured at from $2.75 to $3.00 per square yard. Probably $2.75, poseibly less, It muat be re- membered that when the foundation is once laid it will bo there for all time, Ingineers in Washington figure eicht cents per rquare yard per annum for repairs. Some very intercsting questions were then put to Mr. Barber, who answered them very satisfactorily. Mr. E. Rosewater made a few re- marks on the subject. He mentioned the fact that he had seen asphale in 1851 in Prague, was laid on a flat foundation in front of the depot. He was a echoolboy at the time, and he observed it with curiosity and thought it was a single rock, and he wondered how a rock of such great dimensions could Hhave been brought there. He learnt after- wards that it was asphalt. He had seen the Washington pave- ments, Hec always thought the only iculty will be to get some one to do it, just right. In reply to enquiries respecting the slipperiness of this asphalt, it was not at all slippery of itself. Of course in winter time if there is ice on the pavement it would be slippery, but then it is the ice and not the pave- ment which is objectionable. Pavements of Paris and London cost $4 per yard, and they make con- tracts for 17 years. For the first three years there is no charge for re- pairing, for the remsining fourteen years the company charges an English shilling or 26 cents per annum, The following resslution was pro- posed by the secretary and carried nem. con.: Resolved, That the information given by Mr. Barber on the asphalt pavement has been very satiefactory and we would recommend a commit- tee of five be appointed to further in- vestigate the subject he has intro- duced in reference to this particular pavement, which we deem of vast im- portance to our city interests. The meeting then adjourned sine die. i Virtne Acknowledged.

Saturday seems to have been an un- lucky day, as there were two fatal accidents withina few hours of each other. The first of these was one which happened at the headquarters of the Linninger & Metcalf agricultu- | ral imploment warehouse, the old brewery building, near the Willow Spring distillery, The proprietors were making some changes about the building, filling up what was formerly | used as an ice house with debris, | which was run into it from the bank \ {above through a long chute. ‘At the foot of this chute a couple of boys about 10 years of age were playing. They were Nela Turtleson and William Snyder, the latter & son of Mr, William Snyder, who works in the blacksmith shop of Simpson’s carriage factory. These boys had been around the premises several times shooting at pigeons with a sling shot. They had been ordered away but persisted in coming around, and at the time of the accident young Snyder was jumping from the chute to the pile of rubbish which, drops through from above. As he was on this dump -pile a heavy load of earth and rags was thrown down from above, flying through the chute witl. tremendous force. One stone struck young Snyder on the back of the head. The boy ran out crying loudly and was met by a work- man trom the distillery, whe saw that his head was bleeding and inquired what was the matter. The boy an- swered that the stone had fallen on his head and he at once fell insensible to the ground. He was conveyed to his home on Sixth and Pearce streets and Drs. Darrow and Parker were called in, who found upon examination that a fracture about the mize of a half dollar had been made by the rock. The boy died soon after the examination, Corouer Ja- cobs was notified, who repaired to the house where a coroner’s jury was em- panelled, and after hearing the testi- mony of several witnesses brought in a verdict of accidental death in ac- cordance with the facts stated above, BENEKE'S BATCH.

The following are the names of those who will in accordance with these papers put ‘in an appearance to- day to stand an examination: John Pierson, who is charged with grand larceny, the offense consisting in the alleged robbery of a pocketbook containing $55, which he tock from | a friend who was in an out-kouse. John Day, accused of breaking into the house of Mrs. Leeper about 10 o'clock a few mornings 2go. He was caught in the act, and some of the stolen goods found upon his person. Henry Donohue, charged with burglary of the residence of Hon, E. M, Bartleit. James Murphy and William Kirt- land, charged with holding ? an robbing Adolph Siefkin at the door of bis residence, near the Baptist church. Tne property taken consisted of a watch and chain and a small amount of money. Charles Finn, chrrged with larceny as bailee in stealing $1,300 from J, B. Manning & Co. Sydney Smith, charged with embez- zlement of $350 and of sewing ma- chines from Wheeler & Wilson com- pany. Smith was their agent in this place for a long time, but was addicted to drink and after sending one man to the state penitentiary finally skipped out himself, leaving his family and the sewing machine company both bebind. He was arrested in Little Rock, Ark., where he was acting as agent for the same company, and was brought back to Omaha and lodged in jail, where he awaits the charge of the grand jury. Charles * Dearborn charged with stealing a valise and contents at the U, P, deput. Carr Kendall and Mrs, Finerty charged the former with having stolen & quantity of valuable jewelery from the residence of Charles £, Albert on the morning of the 16th of May, and the latter being detained as a witness in the same case.
