The Lincoln street rallway are rapidly building their lines, so as to give north, south and east parts of Lincoln di- rect communication with the depots and business part of the clty, making Eley- enth and O streets the center of the di- vergiog llnes. The followlng is their last survey, and upon soveral of the atreets the line Is now laid with two miles more of fron ordered: Beglnning at the Bur. lington & Missourl depot on Seventh street, aouth to O atreet, east on O to Twenty-seventh stroet, thence back; an- other line from Eleventh and O strest to R street thence east on R street to Twen- ty-seventh; another line from the Bur- lington & Missouri depot to O street, O strect to Tenth, south on Tenth to the homo of the friendless: another line be- glnning at Eloventh and O etroote, ran- ning south on Eleventh to M, east on M to Thirteenth, south on Thirteonth to K, east on K to Fourteenth, south on Four- teenth to G.

This building when cemploted will be of brick, costing $25,(00. The engine house of the water works was also began yester- day. Mr. Etrang is pushing the water works to an early completion and will have the steam pumps In this weck. Work on the stock yards is nearly done, and a company with plenty of money have been organized to eroct s packing house. The city of Lincoln is already begioning to derive materlal benefit from the stock yards enterprise, and some who at first smiled at the enterprlse are now reeing the benefits which the city is de- rlving thersfrom. A clty can bulld itself to a great extent by all uniting in butld- ing enterprices and organizitlons of laud- able enterprises and respectable com- paniee. Therefore, lot us foster and asslat these enterprises which are build- ing up in our mids', which wlill bring money, labor and residents to our city.

A great, big, lubberly loafer, called Baby Barnes,” was placed under aree yosterday on svspiolon of belng one of the gang who helped to steal $100 from old man Doyle, in Batteys sslocn on Thirteenth & st Friday night. For safe keoping be was lodged in the county jall along with three other erooks, Who Lave been taken up for the same|p crime. Theie victhm 1a an old, gray haired man, somewhat addic'ed to drink, and learning that ho had this amount of wmoney on his persor him g0 drunk that he ku-: nothing, alive. When firat applying for lodgings she eald that she expected to go to work Monday. Sunday morning she failed to put In an appearance for breakfast, but no one thought strange of that, and she was not called. Dinner tlme came and passed, but still she rematned in her room, About two o'clock the proprietor went up and knocked on her door, but received no answer. He knocked two or three times, still everything was silent. Then he broke the door In and a startling sight met his eyes. The young woman was there stiff and stark., By her bed was found the cup she had recelved water in and small vial labelled enlphate of mor- phine, one-eighth of sn cunco. That told the story. Coroner Drexel was no- tified and had the body moved to his es- tablishment., There was nothing to indi- cate who the dead girl wan or where she came from. In her dress pocket the cor: oner found a money puras containing 83 60 and a elip of paper on which was written *‘Mrs. Eoglemann, 1411 Park Wilde ave.” That lady, however, knew nothlng about the girl, thorefore it is suppcs:d somebody had given her the address to apply there for work, With these facts at hand Coroner Drexel wentto work yesterday andsuc- coeded in finding out, by procuring the girls baggazo that her name was Jeanett Schafer, that her homo had been In Factoryville, N. Y., where she still bas relatives living and that she has for tho past year and & half been llving near Columbue, Nebragks, Two third grade certilicate wera found in her trunk, and she has evidently baen teaching school In Ne- bracka. The girl was evidently enciente, and it 18 supposed that she left home after being betrayed, for the purposs of end- ing her life. Yesterday afternoon the coroner held an fnquest on the body. He summoned as jurors . A. O'Brien, H. J. Fuller, C. 8. Goodrlch, H. G. Hart, J, 8. Denman, and C. J. Menter, After hearlng the testimony of Mr. and Mra. Flannery, which was In substance the same as what I8 related above, they rendered a verdict to the effect that deceased came to her death from en overdose of morphine, but whether administered accidentially or {ntentionally is not known. Coroner Drexcl telegraphed t> the dead girl’s friends at Columbus, but re- celved no reply lest night Unless they are keard from thls moining the body will bs burled to-day. RUMBLINGS BY RAIL. The Burlington, is Building One Han- dred Miles of Road, Said a prominent Burlington & Miss- outi official to one of the BEr reporters yesterdsy, “it looks to me like the great- ¢st ploce of absurdlty, imaginable for any body to suppore, that there is no other rallroad for Omaha and the State of Ne- braska than the Unlon Pacific. Why the “Burlington” has now over eix hun- dred miles of road in this state and s still bolldiog This yesr, however, we wil not construct moge than about 100 miles, Thirty-zix miles of fhatis in Nebraska aud the balance in Kansae, running out from Marysville to Oberl'n The Northwestern's $100 cffer, that its line is one and three-‘enth miles the shortest to Chaleago, still remins ua- taken.

Since Unknown Young THE ATCHISON ATROCITY. More Develepments in the Marder of Mary Baliwin, Omaha Drug Stores Searched by two Atchison Lawyers, to Find Where the Polson was Obtained, There has probably not occarred a criminal event, for many years, that has clusterod about} it so many sensationsl and mysterlous features, as that which recently ended, untimely, the life of Mies Mary Baldwln, a bright, handsome and Inteligent young;lady, at Atchison, Kan- sas, That the foul and beastly parpo- trator, will be brought to the just and awfal punishment he ao richly deserves, remains to be seen. iothing fs belng left undone to capture the wanton wretch and when it becomes an absolute cer. tainty that the right party has been caught woe be unto him, Shortly after the unfortunate glrl had been found dead, her brother was arrested on suipleion and thrown into jail wherc ho still remains. He at once employed as his attorneys the firm of Everest & Wagoner, and they immediately began a therough investiga- tlon into the facts and clrcumstances of the case. The result has been that with- In the past two or three days some very {mportant developments have been made. Probably a great many people in Omaha remembor sceing here wlithin the past a colored man by the name of Noble, who palmed himeelf off as a professtonal corn doctor, and went about from house to house pretending to prac- tice his alleged professlon. He was re- pulsively ugly, and walked with a limp, Last Saturday MoesrsEverest & Wegaor, swore out a warrant, and had this fellow arrested, on suspleion that he was the man who murdered Mary Baldwin, It will be remembered that at the time she was discovered a small vial, whish had formeriy contained poison, was found lay- ing In the bed along eide of her body. The label had been partly torn off, but on what remalned, parts of three or four words could be mado out. For insiance, *‘form” re- mained, showlng that the word chlorc- form had been torn in two, an ‘“‘on,” be- ing formerly a part of the ward poiton; alzo “*ma,” which was either Omaha or pharmacy. Belleving that it might have been the word,Omahs, an opinlonjwas at ones arrived at that the polson might have been purchased at somoe one of the many drng stores in this city. To sscertain whether or not such was the case Col. Everest and Mr, Gilbe:t, the proszcuting attorney of Atchizon connty came here Sun dsy morning and made a tour of all the drug stores in the clty that day, but were not able to determlne that the medicine had been eecured here. Chas. Ogden, accompanied them in their rounds. The bottle was a very paculiar one—long and ellm. When shown to the drugglsts, the answer of all of them was: *We have no such a bottle as that in the store ” This man Noble was known to have been in Atchison aboat the time Mies Baldwin was murdercd. It 1s also known that Instead of being a corn dostor he Is a professlonal houtebreaker, and uses that doctor businest as a blind. He has already served a term in the penitentiary for chloroforming and robbing a woman, He works all the river towns from Omaha to Kansas City, and under the disguize of a doctor, easily obtalns polsonous medi- cines without any questlons baing asked of him, —— COURT CHIPZ.

I showed him the letter, and he sald he was mighty glad to get that tip.
