e———= — — — OMAHA'S FUTURE. e e A iy Ttk Nogtwrce submit to & vote of th ly of cour {115 Dosiined to b3 toe Distebniicg Fuint of the West, A Taik With Mr. W, #, Jenny in iie ®ard to Mining Business. Yosterday morning Me. W P, Jonny of Hailog, Tdsho, arclved in this city and reglstered at the Paxton hotel. It will be romombered, that Mr. Jenny, who is amining expert, was sent out to the Black Hills c>untry in 1875 by the United States authorities to ascertain what there -was in the mining oraze at that time, and he reported that the Black Hills country was no good, or something to that effect, Mr. Jenny was mot by a Bee reporter yoaterday and was asked for his opinloa regard to the mining interests of the woat, Mr. Jonny saya that the mining Inter- oats of Idaho are in fir.e shape and money is being made in the territory. Of Utah he said that most of the minos aro ‘closod and no work s being done n them, In speaking of the min- ing Interests of Idaho he spoke particu larly of the Parker mine and said that it in paylng big money. Two of his friends bought shares in the Parker mine some- tlme agoand have realizad upon them nandsomely. One of them invested $100 and the other $500 and ever since their investment they havo received dividends of not less than 8500 per month, and sometimes they have received as high as $2,000 in a single month. He mald that living was never as cheap in Idaho as at the present time. Flour can bo bought for $3 a hun- dred pounds, something which was never beforo known in the territory. Board. however, contlnues at §8 per weeck and the miners are paid $4 per day for their labor. M. Jenny eald that the only thing noeded to make that portion of the west orn country first class in every particular is the reductlon in freight rates. At the prosont high rates Mir. Jenny eays that it 1s impostible for a large number of the mines to be worked at all as the prico of labor is 80 high and freight rates are mo exorbitant that the ore cannot bs placed upon the market unless it is giltedged. A reduction in freight rates would place provisions, tools and supplies of all kinds upon the western markets at reasonable figures and this woald have a tendency to reduce the price of labor and many more mines would be opened and worked. Mr. Jenny thinks that the only way to succesafully lower the freight tanff is for congress to pass a law, fixiog & maximum rate for frelghts of all kinds, appoint a government inspector to inspeoc: the cars and decide what amount of freight each car is capable of hauling #o that oars can be loaded with any kiad of frelght at any polnt and the railway companies will be compelled to haul it at the maximum rate bxed by law, 9] Mr. Jenny expressed himself as greatly pleased with the stand taken by the Bem uponall railroad questions and especially the question of low freight tariffs and ventured to remark that it would be the newspapers that would bring about the change if it was ever brought about and sinoerely hoped that the fight would be kopt up until congress is compelled to take some action in the matter. UMAHA A8 A DISTRIBUTING POINT, Mr. Jenny then spuke of the future prospects of Omaha and said that he had every confidence In th's vity’s growth and prosperity. He said he was contident that in a few years Omahs would be the great distributing point for the entire western country. Especlally is thls true of Utah, Idaho and southern and western Montana. All that is now required is the reduction of freight rates and the trade of Omaha will extend into that country like a whirlwind. To be sure Omaha wholesale merchants are now shipping some goods Into those places, but what they are now doing would not be a drop in the bucket to what might b done were 1t not for the extortions of the railroad companier. A fow yeara sinco nearly all the sup- plies for these places were shipped from San_ Francisoo and a boat loaded with goods left that city every day for Port land, Oregon, from which-point the goods were delivered. To show how the San Francisco trade ls falling off, the boat now leaves that city once in every five daya, Mz, Jenny said that Omaha was partic- alarly interested in gotting lower freight rates west as it would be the means of giving to this city a trade such as she has never had. o ——— B. 1.

New York Sun, v Jay Gould was asked by a reporter at his residencs to-night to express his views as to the present condition of butiness and the out look for the future, !, Why is the business world so depressed? he was asked. ““For various reasons, One is that we pass through just such periodical depressions at least every ten yoars. I thiak the indisations aro that we are now down to hard pan, The railroads aro not makiog & good showing, be. cause tho war has been the meaus of reducing tho rates to such a figuro that the competing lines are compelled to do busicess at_ lees than the cost of operaticn, Again, the season about the period of a presidential election is alwiys one of despondency. The pros: pects of o change of administration causo a Rroat many enterprises to hesitate, Businesas men are uncertain as to the policy of any in comivg administration, and they fear to make ventures, Tnis feeling of apprehension, I ba. lieve, however, s pacsing away, The fears of a change in the tariff system also seems to be prowing less marked, because labor is settling down to Europsan prices. Again the begin ning of & new year is upon us, At such a time business men desire to call a balt and take an inventory of theirstock and start in afresh " Do you believe that the outlook for buei- ness is an encouraging one?" *‘Most certaiuly [do. 1 think the year 1885 will be the mon' y-making year, The balance of trade is now in our favor.” ‘Do you not think that the advent of a new administrat on will furnish further encourago- ment to the business world?” *1 balieve that the administration of Presi- dent Cleveland will be carefu!, round and con. servative, I did not feel that the ropublican party should be coutinuad in power, because I recognized the fact that its platform was pronounced upon the subject of & protective tarifl. Now that labor is settling down to a lower basis I do not know but that it is just as well that the democrats were victorious,” ““What, in your opinion, will be the issuo of the fight batween the Now York Central and the West Shore?” *‘lventually the West Shoro must give in. If Mr Vandertilt decides that it is necessary for him to_own it he will purchaso it at his own price.” ““What is your opinion of the last report of the Central rosd?” “‘I do not bealieve that the Now York Cen- tral company has paid_auy dividends which 1t has not fairly earned, The 1ssue of bonds (which was made public by the statement) I huppon to know, was made because of the need of money for the purpose of carrying vart improvements.

Fair, of Nevada, is at the Graud Pacific on his way to Washington The senator said toa Daily News reporter that he did not think congress would succoed during the present session in clearing the calendar, most of ¢the measures on which were left over last summer. For this reason he did not think that any new measures could be carried through, Personsally he had nona to submit, “What do you thlok the senate will do with the Nicaragus canal treaty?” Senator Iair was asked, ‘I think thesenate will ratify it,” te re- plied, “and the government will go to work and construct the canal. I am certainly op posed to Captain Pym's dplm for joint action on the part of the United States and Eogland each to guarantce an equai_amount toward raising the necessary sum. We can subscribe whatever is requisite without appealing to John Bull, I dare say if Kogland went into the enterprise it would, with its customary greediness, demand more than a fair share of the tolls. We ehould be in hot water all the time, and the prospect would be good for trouble in the end.” *‘What is your opinion of the effect of the uncertainty us to the policy of the incoming administration on business ?” ““I don’t see why the industries of the coun- try should be affected by the changein tho ad- ministration. I am told that the dullness in trade now complained of is due to the belief that the success of the democrats will bring & change in the tariff. I don'tbelieve it. T feel that tha democ are too much divided against themselves to make any immediate change. The question was really sete tled last summer, If the senats was com- poted of a majority of democrats I don’t believe tbat it would favor a reduction of the taxes, bezause they know it is oppused to onr commercial prosperity. As far as the tariff question cse of lack] of business coutidence I think that people should no con- tinue to so regard it. The protection demo. crats in the house and a republican senate are sufficient safeguards againet any immediate and sudden change,” “Thera will be no friction between the tn- comiug executive and the senate in the mat- ter of sppointments, will there?” “T 503 no reason why there should be, 1 bslieve that the repnblicans have settle down to the realizati n that Cleveland is able audsafe, [ don't think he will mske any sweeping changes or avy appointments which the senate will consider itself ¢ lled upon to reject,” —— Base 13all Matters, Sr. Louis, December 17,—Presidont Lucas, of the Union Base Ball association, arrived home from the east this mornirg.

Sullivan testified that he neither guve nor received any blaws that hurt, The Jury was out eight winutes. Verdict, ‘‘Not guilty,” An Unhealthy Part of the Oity for the Housebreakers to Visit, Mr. Louls Heimrod, the grocer at the corner of Thirteenth and Jackson streete, covered himself sll over with glory yeas- torday by oapturing a real live bur glar. Mre. F, Lang lives over Mr. Helm- rod’s store and this morning she was dressing to go out and wanting something in an adjoining room, pushed open the door and there saw a man busily engaged in looking over her wardrobe and select- ing such articles as suited his fancy. Mee. Lang was, of course, badly fright ened and resorted to the only means of roating the fellow, viz., screaming. Mrs. Phil Andres lives in rooms across the hull from Mre. Lang's apartments and, hearing her ecreame, suspected thata burglar was In the house. She ran down stalts Into Mr. Helmrod’s store and told that gentleman to hasten up atairs, Mr. Heimrod started out the front door and met the fellow jast coming out of the hallway. He told him to stop and that he was going to koeep him until a policeman ar- clved, The fellow told him to get out of his way or he would blow his brains out, at the same time making a move with his hand toward his hip pocket. Instead of running Mr. Heimrod quickly let out from the shoulder and got in a good oune between tho fellow's eyes which brought him to the sidewalk, He then jumped on top of him and putting his hand in hls hip pocket found, instead of & revolver, a largo ecrew driver. Mr. Heimrod did not let him up but held him until Officer Duff Green arrived, when he turned the prisonerover to him and he was lodged in jail. After being placed under arrest, he feigned drunkenness and upon being placed be- hind the bars in the city jail sang and yelled at tho top of his voice. Mr. Heimrod's bartender says that tho man was not drunk 8s he was in the saloon with another party onlya few moments before his arrest and he was perfectly sober, Upon examination it was found that ho had tied up in a bundle, Mrs, Lang’s seal skin saquo, a mufl, a far collar, two pairs of fine blankate, a quilt and eome other stuff. At the jail & fur collar was found under his coat. Tho bartender says that shortly after the fellow’s arrest he saw his partner make off with a bundle bat could not tell what wasin it. Mrs. Lang had not looked over her wardrobe carefully. hence could not tell whether she had lost anything or not. Mr. Hoimrod says that 1t s time that the gang of thieves who have been work iug this city is broken up and ho propose to do all in his power to bring about thl end. He deserves much credit for hi- covlaees and courage tn handling tho fels low and it is now to be hoped that justice ;m be meted out to the thief in goud, big loses, e —— “Let's Talk About the Weather" CH1cAGO Decenber 17.—Weather bulletin covering points throughout the northwest shows uniformly cold weather.

ROBINSON ORUSOE OUTDON The Romantic Yarn of a Ship wrecked Mariner Now in New York, New York, December 12 —A few daye ago a mun about sixty years of age, with the appearance of an old farmer, and very taciturn, registered at the Sin- clair house, corner of Broadway and Eighth street, under the name of Ezra W. Formsh, Nomora, Pleiades group, Pacific ocean. Converaation shows him to be a very intelligent man. He tells a wonderful tale, whicir has every appear- snce of truth. He says in substance that in the yoar 1847 the ship Ocmulgee, of Wareham, was homewara bound with full load, tryworks ovar- board, and ’riahs and kegs of oil stowed in every top. After leaving Lahaina, S. L., October 7, with 350 bbls, sperm, 3,250 bbls. whale oil, and 41,000 bbls. bone, she was never heard from, Forman was boat-steerer. He claims he is the sole survivor, and states that the ship was was wrecked on Nomora, an island in the Pleiades group, and gives the following story of the wreck: “The Ocmulgee went ashore on Nom- ora in December, 1847, snd all hands were drowned except mynclf, Martin, the cook, and an Hawalian sailor named Walhee. 41l the oil casks were stove, and the ship gradually hove over the reef, until finally the eurvivors could walk around her at low water. signa of the process of Hght?" George stood stupefied. He looked at the wick reposing iu quict dignity on the tablo as if 1t was fully conscious it was master ot the situation; at the burning lamp, which gave fortha brilliant, steady light, and at Susan heraelf, in whoee eyea rested the unmistakable assurance of vic- tory, and fnvoluntarily ¢ jaculated: **May- be there's something “in it. How many of them did you buy?” “Ouly three, dear, at a quarter apioce. Think of the saving, tieorge. Why I could buy a new cloak next winter from the money that would have been wasted in coal oil.” George waited and his wife waited to see what would come of the investment, when the electrical cruat had formed on the wick. The next night, sure enough, there was the lamp as full as ever, ana shedding as good a light. On the third and fourth evenings it was the same The wick was examined, but showed no incrustation having begun. ~ The wife explained that it might be & week or ten days before this happened.

Thus do the “‘Through the Hawalian I was enabled to talk with the chief of tho island. I explained the uses that might be made of the various articles, and, asslsted by na- tives, got everything out of the ship, in- cluding the bone, and then broke up the ship, saving planks, nails, anchors, chains, and whaling gear. ‘We were given houses, lands and wives, accepted our posion, and deter- mined to make the best of it, and, except that we were exiles from home and friends, were content and happy. I taught the natives many of the ruder arts, and they prospered greatly. But the natives feared to lose us, and when a ship came {n sight hurried away into the {oterior until the foreign veesels had passed on. “Later my two companions died and I was left alone.

I embarked in her, was landed at Sidney, and made my, K way here after mucn trouble and time.” Such is Forman’s ctory. Now comes avother remarkablo tale, He says that the whalebone is in prime condition, and from the time of its wreck to the prasent day & native has always bcen on guard over if, and that regularly once a week its position has been shifted to eave it from rats and moll. Forman eays that ais two companions left & number of children, who are now all big and healthy, and; that he (has twenty-nine sons and daughters and sixtg-nine grandchildren. Some Philadelphia merchants have taken stock in Forman's story, have advanced bim §5,000 worth of goods, chartored a steamer, and she will soon leave New York for the Pleiades, to carry out this modern Alexander Selkirk and bring back the bone, estimatea to be worth now frem §150,000 to 175,000, Tho story is a romantic one, and the appearance of 1lorman carries truth with it; bat a Nantucket gentleman, to whom the tale has been submitted, who is conversant on whaling matters, doubts 1t from first to last' and adylses the mer- chants responsiblo ones, by the way, to examine Forman and his history “very carefully before accepting its truth, The gentleman who has advised on the matter aays there never was a ship Ocmalgee, of Warham, in the whaling {business that was lost. The only whaler of that name was owned in Holmes Hole and sailad repeatedly from that port rrom 1814 un- til, in 1805, she was burned by the con- federate crulser Alabama, JThere are also otherserious discrepaneies in Forman statement among which is the proportion of whalebone to the proportion of oil taken, and, although his yarn is Ingeni- oualy twisted, yot t Is full of flaws and apt to straud on examination, and the in- ference is, unless he can recoustruct his story with a new name for the ship that is acceptable, he isa crank or a cheat of the worst sort. —— WONDERFUL LAMP WIOKS, A Wife Gives Her Husband a Sur. prise and Then Takes One Herself, $t.
