Physicians~Coroner Walsh In- dicted—A Human Skull as a Witn, of Murder, [FRON THE BEE'S LANCOLY AUREAUT, Six lots in block 154, this eity, owned Uiy the stato and known as the Gillespie property, were sold at auction at the ounty t urer's office yesterday, under sders of the board of public lands mildings. The sale attracted a I anmber of moneyed men, and the bid- Aing was eager and spirited from the start, The property had been appraised =ome weeks ago at an w 500, which was thought at the time to be an extravagant valuation, The willing- ness of shrewd business men,good judges of real e and ca vance prices fully one-third yes showed t the appraisal was very conservative one, or that the values ken a wild jump upwards during ast month, The first lot oftered by Rocke was No. 7, appraised at $2,750. The desire to buy it was so gen- nral and strong that Mr. A. Hurlburt,who «ecmed determined toraise any bid made, was compelled to say “$4,000," beforo it was knocked down to him. Lots fand 9, appraised at $2,500 and $2,000, ere bought by the same gentleman for $3,350 and $3,00) respectively. When lot 10, on which the old” Gillespie homestead stands, and which Dad been appraised with the house at $5,000, was put up, there was a lull in the bid the un- tanding seeming to prevail that Mrs spie, who ired to buy it as near ppraised o as possible, shoull have no competition. An elderly man named Barr, evidently stranger and unaware of the agreement, putin a bid of #5200, This was the signal for a horus of hisses and derisive hoots which drove Barr from the field so far as that particular tract was concerned, and it was sold to Mrs. Gillespie at _her bid of £5,000. Lot 11, apprased at §2.250, went to John K. Barr, at $3,150, and lot 12, ap- raised at §2,750, was bought by H. P. Lau, for $4,200. The sale nette 2,700, an incroase of $5,200, or nearly ono-third, over the valuation named” by the ap- praisers. I’uo‘)lu owning property in ihe vieinity of the biock bounded by F and G and Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets, in which the lots dispo: of are situated, on hearing of the prices ob- fained, began to their ratings in the commer: marked up, and spend money more freely for personal pleasure: The purchase of the (iillokl)in property has turned out to be a good investment for vhe state. Away back in 1860, when jovernor Butler and his friends ran the affuirs of state })rim-ipnll)’ to suit them- salves, a loan of 4,500 from the perman- snt school fund made by the state to Gillespie, the security being a mortgage on this property. When the loan became due the mortgage was foreclosed and the land bid in to protect the state. At that time there were taxes and liens to the amount of 1,900 owing, which the state had to pay, making the to- tal cost something like §9,400, which was then considored a very large price. The sule yesterday of this property clean profit of $13,800. This, of itself, is a snug sum, but if figures do not lie, the ultimate profit will be much greatér. The sales were made for one-tenth of the purchase price down. tie remainder to run twenty rs at 6 per cent. The interest on the id principal will in that time amount 000, which added to the $13.300, will the net gain about §37,800, ing nothing about the reinvestment of the in- terest, which at a safe calculation should ield §10,600 more. While the investment as turned out a very profitable one, it is more from a succession of lucky events thau the result of sound business judg- ment, Had the tide of prosperity on which Lincoln is now flonting ebbed away. the state would have been a heavy loser. The system of loaning public moneys to individuals, and on private properties, is a pernicious one, and it is & happy relief that around the permanent sohuul fund, at loast, has been thrown the strong protecting arm of the law, serving, ke Davy Crockett’s living bar- rier. to “'keep the wolvi jiJ pri MEETING OF ECLE The eleyenth annual convention of the Nebraska Association of Eclectic Physi- was held at the Windsor hotel, in this city, last evening.

An 0ld Btory of the American Metropclis Retold, Helen Jewett, the Most Beautiful Women in New York, Killed by Her Lover. Of all unavenged murdevs that have ever taken place in the city of New York, perhaps none ever created a more pro- found sensation than that of Helen Jew ett, the fair young woman who, on the night of April 11, 1836, was brutally butchered in her bed at No. 41 Thomas street Doras Doyen, such was the victim's real name, was the most beautiful and notortons woman of her class in New York. She was born in Augunsta, Maine, and at the time of her murder was but ¢-three ye of age. ne thus deseribes her charms: “She was a shade below the middle ght, but of a forin of exquisite symmo- which, thouzh voluptously turncd in preceptible point, was sufliciently dainty in its outline to give her the full advantage of a medium stature to the eye.

Mad with jealousy, Helen threw herself on the woman and struck her repeatedly in the face, her diamond rings drawing blood at every blow. A few days afterward, however, she re- pented her violence, and wrote to Robin- son imploring him to forgive and return to her. thin a few months, however, Helen, furious at the |I:s('0\'orfi' of some fresh perfidy on the part of Robinson, taunted him with having caused the death of a young girl whom he had wronged and then deserted. Terriied at the conse- quence of exposure he professed to bo ready to do anything that Helen wished, and " finally purchased her silence by promising to marry her. Once more all went well until Helen learned that Robiuson not only did not intend to keep his promise, but was on the eve of being married to a young lady of wealth and position. In’a fury she wrote him a letter threatening the most dire consequences if he failed to keep faith with her, ‘There is little doubt now that that let- ter sealed the fate of Helen Jewett. life only stood between Robinson and fortune, On April 10, 1830, the day preceding the murder, Robinson received a note from Helen, begging him to cull on her that night, and containing a hint of the terrible pe n:lll,{ in case of a refusal to do so. He replied, promising to call the next night. Helen was then living in the house of Mrs. Townsend, No. 41 Thomas street, tablishmeut famous for the magnti: o of its appointments from one end of the country to the other. At this house Robinson, enveloped in his long Spanish cloak, rang the bell between 9 and 10 o'clock, on the night of Saturday, April 11, 1836. Helen met him at the door and was heard to exelaim jo_}-mmly; ©0Oh, my dear Frank, how glad I am that you have come! An hour afterwards she came to the head of the stairs and called for a bottle of champagne. When Mvs, Townsond brought it up stairs a few minutes later, Holen received it from her av the door. “That was the last time the poor girl was seen alive, One by one the inmates of the house retired, and at 1 o’clock all was still, An hour Inter Mavie Stevens, who occupied a room directly opposite to that of Helen, was aroused by a noise that sounded liko that of a blow or a heavy fall, followed by a long and heavy moan, Getting up, she listened at her door. All was silent as the grave. Presently she heard the door of Helen's room open gently and the sound of feet passing along the hall. Cautionally opening her door she saw a tall figuré, wrapped 1 a long cloak and holding 4 small lamp, glide” down the stair case. Then she returned to her room. At 3 o'clock Mrs. Townsend had ocea- sion to go down staivs and found a lamp bolonging to Helen burning on a table in muI rlor. On looking about she found the back door open, and after calling out twice, “Who's there?” fastened it and wont to clew's room. The door was ajar. As she opened it & dense volume of reekipg bluck smokg drove '.‘}l back, and aloiost overpowtred her, oy “ of 1error aroused the house in an instant anil several of the inmates rushed to the spot and attempted to force their way through the smoke.
