Not at all. The fact of the matter is that the company is making ®as of water 1o which there are impurities. These impuritios oauss the gas to be of an impure quality, and in burning, a heavy deposit is mads on the glass frame, If the company would make good pure gas thers would ba no compliat of diréy gas lamps,” —H.

Families of Negroes Liviog ia Pens Unfit for Hogs—Disgracefal Con - ditton of Allies and Back yards, 1t cleanliness Is next to godliness, then there ara placas In the fair clty of Omaha 80 far removed from eicher state that they would make the star-eyed goddess of liberty blush for shams, *‘Absolutely horrible,” 1s the most common expression heard from thoss who accost reporters and detail to them the foul and filthy conditlon of certaln localities that can be named. One placo in particular has ot late attracted conslderable attention and demands to be looked after by the proper authoritles, It 1s sltuated too, almoat under the very dome of Douglas county’ stately temple of justlce, and sends broad cast over the surrounding country a stench polluted with the germs of deadly disease, and that smells to heaven. Were it possiblo for the figure of justice that adurna the great dome to unblind- f1d her eyes for a moment and look down on the scene, she would certalnly be moved to cry aloud at the apecticle. Entering Into the facts as gathered by a Bee repurter, they are these: Along the low ground and part hiliside, just aboye the janotlon of St. Mary's avenue and Eighteenth strect, and below Harney atreet, ia & seciion cocupled by Thomas Maurry, with a blg wood yard and a num ber of old board shanties, with no floors in them and very little roof, that are rented to families of colored people Sume of the ehantles and a part of this woud yard extend out into Eighteenth street, and thus become public obstrac- tlons Some time ago the marshall issued an order for them to be moved back, but it doesn’t seem to have been compli=d with. To those who are not acquainted with the situation from personal observa- tlon, It will not be hard for them to understand ‘what it is like, espccial y In wet weather times, with dozens of colored per- sons trylug to live in onme littie old shanty, that leaks every time it raios like a sieve, and has nothing but the ground for a flo-r. The filth and dirty water that must noceasarlly accumu- late abont such places, to boil, sizzle, fume aud rot under a hot sun, Is enough to make people exclalm ‘‘absolutely horrible.” From thess hog-pens Mre Morpby roalizes as rent the sum of $4 each per month, If ths city rorvenger ever goes around there to clean up, the time be- tween his visits s so long th 1 the people in Omaha might die of choleras Bat this is not the only place requiring attention from the sanitary board. Go along almost -n{ alley in the city and pools o stagnant water filled with offal from stables kitchens, etc., can be found, and they all send forth a stench that s atifling. In many back yards can also be seen barrels of slops that seem to have been there for days until they too fill the air with si kening and unbealthy smells. Marshal Cumming s that he Ishaving the worst places cleaned up and renovated just as fast as it can be done, but as he pats it, there are g0 many people who will not try to keep thelr premises clean after they have been attended to. —— THE COURTS, A Busy Day with Judges Wakely and Neville—Sume New Oases Oom- menced—The County Court, In the distriot court yesterdaya jury was struck before Judge Neville in the case of Thomas va. Ritter. The action is one brought by plalntiff to recover some liti- gated property in North Omsha, The cate Is quite a celebrated one, having been tricd three times. Yesterday two new damage suits were filed in this tribunal. Joseph L. Rice esucs Henry Gibson and G. A. Orofutt for $10 000 damages for falee imprisonment in Ara- pshoe county, Colorado, some months ago. KA. F. Herman commenced a sult agalnst the Unton Pacific Ralway com. pavy fur $5,000 damages. The plaintiff in his petition slleges that on the 3d day of Ootober, 1883 while acting as a brakeman on the Uvion Pacific road, a heavy trunk fell on his hand and mashed his fingers He was lifting the trank at the time, In company with the station agent, who was not of sufficient strength to besr his share of the burden. The following cases were dlsposed of: State of Nebraska vs O. H, Holmes, altas H. Henderson, charged with grand larceny. No Indictment being found the prisoner was di:charged, Rasmussen vs Swarizlander, Judg- ment for $40 in favor of defendant, by consent.

Simeral for plalntff, It was made on the grounds "ot the city, that plaintiff had not commenced his contest according to Iaw, which requlres that such sults shall bs brought within twenty days after the canvass of votes takes place. Numerous authorities were quof by each side to show that they were within legal bounds. of course defendant In his motion claims that the election was regularly held and votes lawfally counted, but plalntiff makes & general denial and shows that twenty days from the time that the oounting of votes commended his contes! was insugarated, Judge MoCalloch took the matter under advisement, until W!(]flfildl{- The sppllcation of Maggie Johnson for a writ of habess corpus releasing her from the county jall, was granted by Judge McOullongh. Maggle Johnson was con- vieud in the police eourt, befora Judge § enberg, of petty larceny, and sentenced to piya fine of §60, together with the costaof prosecutlion, which in all amounted to $64 16 Not being abls to pay this sum she was oommitted to jall, where, under the city ordinance governing mis- demeanors, she would be compelled to stay a little over fifty-four days, allowing her 81 per day for her time. Bat und:r statutory provisions cencerning offenses such as she was charged with, where ptison re required to satlefy the fine, such prisonersare allowed $3 per day. After Magglo had served nlveteen days she made application for the writ of habeas corpus. Tne matter was argued by her attorney last Saturday, and yes- terday evening Judge McCullough granted the writ. RAILWAY MATTERS. The Fastest Time on fRecord for a Freight Train. -Experimenting with a New Locomotive, The Unlon Paclfic road s now ahead of all competitors on a record for fast time by freight tralns. A speclal of twenty oars, loaded with through freight, left here last Friday at 4:15 p. m. and r:ached Ogden Sunday at 8:20 p.m, making the ran of 1032 m!'les in fifty-two hours and fif y minutes, which Is a little over thirty miles an hour, includiog stop- pages. If there Is any b tter, or even as good, a recerd as that on any other road in the country it has never been hesri of. But still it is not a mavter of special boast with the Union Pacific. They are srraugiog to do even better {han that. The regular freight, No. 17, bet ween here aud Denver, makes the trip, 668 miles, easily in twenty-nine hours and a half.

Ia 1860 cur population was 31,000,000, and the con- sumption of spiritu us liquors amoonted to 86,000,000 of gallone.

Ho had em- ployed, in difforent publlo works, labr- ers of every concelvable kind, aud bisex- perience was that those who recelved the highest wages were the cheapcs: in the end, because they did more work in pro portion to their pay. Carroll D, Wright, who has made of late & thorough investi gatiod of the labor questiin in Europe, will undunbtedly demonstrate the same proposition, to make the programme one of surpass- ing exc: llence. The cool weather and the great attrac- tion offcred will doubtless serve to draw & large audience of the best people of Omaha to the opera house. The event is one which nolover of mustc will miss, and the great musician and his troupe will no doubt be accorded & most enthusiastic reception. — Real Estate Transfers.
