He bad been handling the 1vorics in one cf the parlors in town and secured quite a number, but for seme reason the cash failed to mate- rialize, The bold “aoger boy” became wrathy, but no blood wasspilled.

W, Wainright will b present on Friday evening. The peo- ple are much quickened and good is being done. —Detective Tuffield, of the Western agency, is authority for the atatement that the mysterious cave which was discovered near Springfield last week by some enterpris. ing gamins is nothing more nor less than a dug-out belonging to the railroad men. The cave has been destroyed, and now the men are temporarily homeless, If this b3 teue, then the darkly mysterious manner in which this excavation was referred to as & possible robbers’ roost becomes highly ridiculous; as also do the allusions to the possibility of said excavation furnishing a clue to some horrible crime—murder, etc., etc, e —— An Important Kuling, Daring the Howard murder trial this moralng, Rev. 0'Connell,Catholic priest, occupled the stand as a witness, Having teatified that the deceaved, Nettie How- ard, made a confession to him as a priest, counsel thought it proper to dlsabuse the jury of any impreesion injurlous to the accused parties that might result from the father's refusal to dlsclose that con- fomslon, A dlecussion followed as to th rule of law in Nebrasks on this subject, and tho court held: Where the state- ments made by the party confessing to a priest were of a character strictly re- latlng to his or her own sins or failures, they need not be disclosed; but if any substantive facts relating to the accured or an act of the ascused in connection with the manner or means of the Ipjury or death of the party confessing were stated, they were legitimate evidence, and could be demanded, The] princlple belng that the secrets of the confes- sional, as such, are ioviolable, but other statements of the party confeseing, not such a part of the conversation or con- foaslon as cannot be separated from it, can be delightful, In the midst of this section is a park, two blocks fa extent, which s planted with shrubbery, cver- greens, etc., and surrounded by wire fencing. In the midst of this park, foun- tains are to be erected, and altogether the spot will be one of beautiful sur- roundings. In fact, this end of the tract, situated at a lofty elevatlon, and gain- ing in the heated term of summer a full sweop of the breezes which cross its ver- dure-clad hills,promises to afford residence advantages of the moat delightful char- acter possible. The south end of the stralt, on the other hand, is now devoted to the stock business and is fast building up with homes of the men who are cennected with the stockyards, together with the stores necessary to the existence of such a community, THE TOWN, The little hamlet is as yet but sparsely populated, Last May the bullding of the stockyards plant was commenced and at that time there was no South Omaha settlement whatever, a few solitary farm houses belng scattered at irregular inter- vals over the nefghboring country. Little by little the viliage has received acces- sions until now there are some forty to fifty familles resldent, with several busi- ness houses. The drug store and grocery is run as a combination eetablishment by Mosers, Saxe & Sloan. In addition there are two hotels, the Canfield houte and the Jones house, both con- veniently sltuated for visiting stockmen, The saloon elcment is also duly repre- sented, The South Omaha poatoffice was opened some four months ago in the store of Saxe & Sloan, Mr., W. G. Sloan being appolnted postmaster. It Is oper- ated as a_ branch of the Omaha office proper, and two dellveries a day are re- catved, one In the moraing and cne in the afternoon. AMONG THE COMMISSION FIRMS who have their headquarters in {he building cccupled as an oflice by the stockyards ccmpany, are W. F. Brown & Co,, N.; Wagner & Co., and Sander, Howe & Co, These firmstransact a gen- eral commission business in hogs, cattle and sheep, entlrely independent from the operations of the stockyards company. SLAUGHTERING AND PACKING HOUSES, Aside from the stockyards themselves, one great point, if not the greatest, upon which the future development of the town depends, is the elaughtering and packing establishment which is now being completed for Gecrge H. Hammond & Co., of Dotrolt. The main features of this tablishment havealready beendescribedat length in theee columns, as have also the adyantsges which it promises for the fature in building up the commercial in- terests of Omaha, Suffice It to say that the hog slaughtering branch of the estab- lishment has a'ready been completed and equipped, and as soon as the supply of porkers becomes adequate to meet the demand it*will be running atfull capacity. Between 800 and 900 hogs a day can be slaughterad and prepared for market. The bullding for the beef-slaughtering branch of the Industry is fast nearing completlon, some 75 or 80 men being oonetantly at work upon ft. It will be & three-story wooden structure, on the north side of the packing house, with di- mensions of 175 feet breadth, and 360 feet width. The middie of April, it is Lhought, will witnoess the eomp&uoa and entire equipment of the addition, Be- tween 030 and 700 bieves a day can be handled and dremsed for the are evidence In the nature of *‘confes- | market, with the new and Improved slons” of material facts, eeparate from | machinery, the purchass of which thefeonversition, so held Inviolable by |is contemplated, Oa the south-side of the law and consequently legltimate: tes- | tbe packing house proper is the oll room tlmony.

An important question, Niw York, March 1L—Paddy Ryan agreed to weet John L. Sullivan within & hundred wiles of New Orleans in May, The ht will be under Loudon rules with small l gloves for 8500, - THE WATERWORKS, South Omaha 1s provided with a fully equipped system of waterworks, The water is derived from a small lake in the northemstern part of the tract. The rl:llzlwhnule has ht'u nuhln;ldw on:‘l a gle pump, wi'h & capaclty of - lona & minute, the other, & ,duplu. with @ capacity of 900 gsllons, In additton, there is a standplpe, or reservolr, about a quarter of a mile distant, communioat- ing directly with the pump house and having a capacity of 1,000,000 gallons. This can be used in oase any accident bap- pens to the main system. The water pipe runs direct from the stand- pipe down F street to Twenty-seventh, and thence direct to the slaoghter house and stockyards. It is only a matter of laying additional connecting plpes to snp- ply the entire town site with water, IMPROVEMENTS, Among other projected enterprises which are destined to build up Soutn Omaha. s the new stock exchange which oted during the coming sum- This is to take the place of the ‘‘exchange” mnow eituated in the old Drexel §farmhouse, occupied by the stockyards and commirsion cflices, The building will be of brick, and will com- prise a hotel, complete stock exchange, stockyards cffice, bank, talegraph office, together with rooms for the headquar- ters of the various commiesion firms, The structure, as contomplated, will cost from 860,000 to $60,000, and will be lo- cated at & point northwest of the present exchange, Besldes this Important accession {o the enterprises of the growing town, an extensive additlcn, in all probability, will be made to the gtock yards plant. An largement, one-third fn extent, of the ilities of the establithment, is con- templated, to be made before the July run of cattle commences, In other dircctlons ecarly Improve- ments In the stook yards plant will be made. So far as concerns railroad facilities, the new town will soon be abundantly supplled, A depot is to be built In the north part of the tract, at the place now known as Summit, located upon the tracks of both the B. & M. and U. P, roads. Dummy trains will then be run every hour. In addition, the strect car company expect to ran their line out to Hascall's park this summer, and before another year, will have projected it to the stock yards, This combination of facilities of communication with Oraahs, it will be seen ata glance, will be a highly important factor in the growth of the new town. A GENERAL PROPHECY regarding the fature of Siuth Omaha favors the helief that it will have a rapid and steady growth for the next decade. Said a gentleman, in a position to know eomething of the matter, in anawer to the questicn of a reporter: “You ask what I think of the fatura growth of the new suburb? My faith in its growth is 80 firm that I have not the slightestdoubt but that within five years, it will have a population of from 6,000 tn 10,000, Just as roon as we get the atrest car com- pany to running out to the place, resi- dence lots will be eagerly purchased in 1hy nporttern end of the tract. Pure air, pure water, combined with all the advantages of clty and country life, con-|- stitute an attractive reason for the pur- chase of lots in this section of Omaha’s suburbs, As regards the stock yards, 1 believe that their growth will be equally com- mensurate. Within the next few years the stock market will be moved from Chlcago, and there s no reason why South Omaha should not secure its loca- tion, At any rate our little town has a good start and we propose to keep in the lead.

The Ivories to be Stacked Away, The Mayor of Council Bluffs Kesues His Pronunciamento and Prom- iscs Extra Policemen to Oarry Out the Same, At an hour approaching the mlddle of Inst night the telophone called the re- porter and gave In full the order of the mayor of Councll Bluffs CLOSING GAMBLING HOUSES in that clty, and threatenlng dire conse- quences to the gamblers and saloon men for failure to obey the order. Mayor Vaughan of Counc!l Bluffs yes terday evening directed in writing, de livered to the chief or captain of that city's pollce, that all gambling houses shall be closed absolutely after Saturday, Match 14, at 10 a, m,, and also declsres that the ealoon men who now have from 4 a, m. to 11p, m, wherein to keep open and sell liquor,jshould be satisfied with that. The mayor's order after reciting the facts that public sentiment, the press, the best, and orderly element of the city demand reform in the moral government of clty affalrs, in compliance with the ordinances thereof and of the lawe, declares that slnce more than. $14,000 in revenue is raited on ealoons yearly, while lees then five places are psrmitted to draw all this line of butiness becanse of these (gvm bling) attractlons, ‘‘it is now my order that on and after March 14th, 1885, at 10 a. m. of that day, each and every gam- bling housa and all gambling places be immediately closed” and that informa- tlons be filed against every violator of this order; and against any owner of a house used or rented for that unlawful purpose after said March 14th, 1885. The mayor says further to the chief of polica that he will furalsh him special po- licemen, if it appears neceseary, to secure falthfol and Immediate obedience of the order. The crder s signed by Mr. Vaughan cfficlally, and was given to the chief yesterday evening, with instruc- tions to cause its rigid entorcement. The city conncll of Council Bluffs met yesterday evenlog and transacted much routine business, but nothing specially noteworthy. Seal of North Carolina Tobacco is the best. A REMINISCENCE, Then and Now. “‘The appointment of Senator Lamar to President Cleveland’s cablnet,” said a gentleman last night in the reporter’s hearing, “‘recalls the intimacy that existed between him and Hon. James P, Hol- combe, for years professor of constitu- tional law In the university of Virginia, until, In 1861, he resigned the chalr he had so long filled to represent Albamarle county, aleng with Hon, Valentine Soathall, in the state convention called to consider, and finally declding upon, the secaeslon of Virginia from the federal Union. Prof. Holcombe was subse- quently elected to the Confederate con- gress, if the writer mistakes not, and, at all events, was sent, along with ex- Unl- ted States Senator Clement O. Clay, of Alabams, as & commissioner to Canada to represent the Confederacy in a quasi-cflizial and diplomatic capacity. Mr. Lamsr, who was colonel of a Mi: slppl infantry regiment, was sent as mi ister to Rusaia, and was an intimate per- eonal friend of Professor Holcombe, who was one of the most eloquent men of that time; a man posaessing every element of the natural orator, to which he, by study and practice, had added every artificial grace, One scene which the present sec- retary of the iaterlor it is probable will never forget, was enacted in the Virginia state convention, just at the moment when the adoptlon or rejection of the or- dinance of secession was to be decided. The large hall was packed; public anxicty and exottement were too deep to be notsy or openly exhibited, War was already begun; = blood had flowed, and a nation was about o grapple with a mighty revolution whose vast proportions were not then apprecla- ble. Amid such a state of public feel- ing, Prof. Holcombe arose to advocate the passage of the resolution of secession, and delivered a speech whish, asa piece of oratory, built upon principles mighty at that day, whether right or wrong, will rank with the nasterpieces of modern and antique times. The convention was presided over by the old and revered pa: trlot, John J. Janney, a staunch Union man, who, when elected chairman, had alluded to a large United States flag that hung grasefully behind him. When Prof. Holcombe had enthused the vast audience that filled the convention hall by the fire and resistlees flow of his elo- quence, he advanced along the middle aisle of the immense hall, printing with bis long, bony Index finger, as he ap. proached, to the venerable old man Jaoney, aud in a volce al- most choking with passionste emo- tlon sald: *The président of this conventlon In his opening address, most beautifully and felicitously directed our thoughts to the flag of our coun- try. There wasa time, Mr, Chairman, when my heart leaped with enthuslasm whenevee that flag was unfurled. I saw in i's glorlous fellowship of stars and stripes a pledge of mutual fellowship, a symbol of equal streng:h and liberty, and a type of common fame forever! It was followed by the benedictions of patriot- ism wherever it flosted, whether in the holidays of peace, nights of tempest or days of battle! But when I think of that flag, lending its lustre and its sanction to the mockery of free government that now dishonors this land; when I remem- ber that st this moment it s waviog over floating batterles of desiruction, seeking with shot and shell to reduce to " | ashes scuthern cities, and g borne fin advance of northern armies, carrylog the desolation of fire and blood through southera homes ! the stars that beamed together in light and glorv, fade from wy vislon. I seo but the emblematlo s'ripe in the red fild of blood | snd tarning, pained and Indignant from the de‘ecrated banner, thenative sentiment of liberty end patriotlsm comes bursting from every fountsin of feeling within my bosom! OB, my countrymen ! the true colors of our country are the spirit and the princlples of our fathers. Let us live under them in freedom, or perish with them lo honor !! A more oloquent tongue than mine would fail to tell the effsct of that speech, It cannot b palnted, oxcopt in the im- aginatlon, The ordinance was passed; War oame; misory, want, sin, suffering and death wero its companfons, But after all the cloads rotled by, and the light of a happier day broke upon a land reunited, purged of ovil, and within whose extendod bounds oach man attends to his own business and worships his own God in his own way, and not one man is a elave! Holcombe has gove to the land of silence; the heross buttoned in the blae and the gray reat side by slde over the river, in the ehade of the trees; re- deemed and natlonalized, the Jand of the confederacy eonds Lamar to add wisdom to the union's_cabinet at tho capltol, and the old spangled banner silll lives!
