( o e————————————y e THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY. FEBRUARY 21. 1887 A CAPITAL CITY CABLE LINE Eastern Oapitalists at Lincoln Making Ar- rangements For the Franchise. THECOMING BASE BALL SEASON. Lively Games Promised By the West- ern League Clube—Plans of Lir- coln Players—Pleased Over Sixty-Day Session. [FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN The citizens of Lincoln are to a boom of no mean pretensions, it being nothing more nor less than a $200,000 cable line project to be built and operated m the capital eity, A number of eas capitalists were in Lincoln Saturday making arrangements for a franchise for a cable line to incur an investment of the nbove mentioned sum and to be built and operated the coming year, If this pro- ject 15 pushed to asuccessfultermination, lots now selling in the suburbs at $3500 will at once double in value, Before th right to build the line is grantea the vote of the city will have to grant by the franchise to the cable com their right of v BASE MATTERS The western league of base ball players will present the coming year as finea series of games as any league in the land. A member of the Omaha club who v i the city the past few days expre opinion that the rivalry already « between elubs in the western league had caused the different clubs to make extra Yorts to secure the very best talent pmong ball tossers that could be found. The Omaha base ball man felt confident that the club from that citv would wipe the earth insofar as Ncbraska clubs in the league are concerned, but the Lincoln boys, with a year of fruitful experiences behind them, say little but have prepared them. pelves to hold their own h the best of them. “The Lincoln tesm is now prac- tically secured,” said Secretary Threw, und he has sccured the players with a calmness and a certainty that has in- spired confidence in the minds of every ptockholder in the city. Reports from the leagues in Kansas, Missour: and Denver nll confirm the expressed opinion that more care and energy has been evinced tn securinlz players this year than ever hofore in the history of the Ienfiu& In a very short time now the Lincoln playess will assemble in this city and go.into ctive practice for the season, A nnm- Enr of exhibition games are being ar- ranged for to give the boys active prac- ‘.«:u before the opening games of the eague, and early in March the grounds of the home club will be put in proper ghape for the season’s work, The rounds for the home club this year fiumg centrally located, and not over ten minutes’ walk from the center of the city, assures fuccess in_ attendance where I\ actical failure resulted last year owing o the distance to the grounds. A mee ing of the !western league will be held at Bt. Joseph to make finul schedule arrange- wments the first of the coming month. SIXTY DAY SESSION, It is the unamimous opinion of le - tors who remained in the city over Sun- day, and the lobby gnards left to watch things on the Sabbath day, that the amendment voted upon last fall will be counted in under the provisions of the yandemark bill and the on contin- ned for sixty days. Itis somewhat sur- !‘mmz. now that the bill is passed, how many localities there arein the state where the assurance is positively given that the amendment was not properly counted. An extension of twenty days means the sitting of the 1 ure until tlose to the first of April and the general estimute heard is that it will cost the state $50,000 additional, ‘The passage of this bill causes a smile of almost marvelous sweetness to play 1pon the faces of Lincoln people. The iull that follows an atjournment in the month of March has always caused hotels and boarding houses to figure closely. Thoextension of time, however, that seems certain of becoming a law, smakes a smile of gladness o'erspread the countenances of those who escape close li«_:urmt_' by this miracle. It 1s discussed by many the feasibility of taking a thirty day recoss in order to allow farmers to piteh into spring work and return after l—d;mnng to pursue anew the ways of leg- slation. TIE LIVE STOCK COMMISSION as been out in the state the past week ooking after glandered stock that has een reported to them from different lo- palities in the state. At Holdrege six head were examined, condemned and killed, and points for visitation bave been ecorded for the coming week. The leg- slature, in making up its appropriations, as cut down the allowance for quaran: ine stations one-half, and Dr. Gerth, the tate veterinarian, in conversation on this opic, expressed the opinion that the re- uction would work a great hardship in leaning up and keeping the state free rom diseased stock, as it would not be ossible to maintain the quarantine sta- jons on the amount allowed. PRICES CLIMBING UPWARD. Real estate prices are climbing sky- E:ml in these midwinter spring days and ot a man lives in the city who is the wucr of property that is at all desirable Bm that has seen his property advance reater than his salary during the past liree months. The rush seems to be for out- bide property and additions at the pres- put time, and one ingenious real estato rm has been considering the feasibility f getting a quantity of signs painted “I'liis lot for sale” and going out eight pr fen miles in every direction on the rairies adjoining the different lines of ailroads entering the city and vlanting he. signs, thus conveying the idea o the man from the distance as he ap- prosches the state capital that the real l tte boom 13 80 great that the whole urrounding country is platted nto high riced lots. A man'laboring under the ressure of @ boom of that character pould be easily made an investor in lots p couple of miles out with the idea that he yas getting inside property. Tho real estate transfers on Saturday gzregated closely to $125,000 and these B;.u. s donotin any way illustrate the pany sales made by contract and eption, E; which no title passes. An immense mount of uetual sales are wade in this vay that do not develop in trausfers, ABOUT TIE CITY. It has generally been @ custom in L poln 1o celebrate the birthday of Was!

The colonel went to New York City recently and in- terviewed several old acquaintances, who were possessed of urivuly of the root of 1l evil, and showed them where good nvestiments lay. Hence his most excel- ent luck. A movement is on foot in I ola to Mect o, mayor and council this spring who | teloy will favor putuing up the ealoon license in this city to £2,500. The rich saloonist favors this scheme but the littla poor two-for-a-nickle fellows all oppose it.

Weekly Scotsman: At Westminster police court William Whistler. Edmund Hopper and William Russell, the last named a well-dressed man over seventy Juars of age, described us a dealer of Marylebone, were charged with conspir- ing together to commit a burglary at (iuuensberry place, South Kensington. Whistler and Russell were further charged with being concerned in a bur- glary on the 10th of May last at the resi- dence of Mrs. Caldwell, Audley square, on which occasion diamonds and jewelry the of the value of £30,000 were stolen. There was a further charge against istler, including an attempt to break into Marylebone church on the morning of th st of July and shooting Police Jonstable William Holland. = Arthur Gibbs deposed that in May last he wus outof work. The prisoner, Whstler, was lodging with him, and he was also out of work. He said' he wusa painter by trade. He said his tather, or father- in-law, was coming out of prison and had alot of stuff put away. He said he did potbelieve in work. It was only fools worked. On one occasion he said he had got a place ‘“‘spotted” 1n Audley square. Witness was to go with him to Audley square, and he pointed out to him a house in the corner with the blinds down. Next to that was a house undergoing re- pairs with the doors open. He told wit- ness he would have to go into this house to get into the next door—the one with the blinds down. If he saw any one to stop him he was tosay he was a workman come for a job. Witness was given a knife and chisel wrapped up in a newspaper. He was to put the catch of the window back with the knife, and when he got into the first house he 3 to hide his tools; so that if he got locked up it wounld make it lighter forhim. He was to hide under the furnitucein the first tloor front room and to wait until he got the 1al that the workmen had left. If he ha “‘go to work” lus accomplice would flasi two fusees and lié.;lu his pipe. One fusoe would be flashed if witness was notto act. Acting on his instructions witness went to the house that was unoccupied and being repaired. He found the door open for the workmen and he went up to the front room. On the given signal he got out of the attic window, walked along the parapet to No. 3 Audley square, and found the catch of the window back. He ot into the room—u servant’s bedroom— and went to tho tloor below. There was no light in the room and the door was open., He lighted a candle which he found there and discovered the jewel cases—three or four—in the drawers. He took them up-stairs, forced them open and filled four or five pockets with the jewels; he got out of the attic, closing the window after him, and walked along the parapet into the next house. Going down stairs he saw a watchman at work in the passage, and therefore he got out of the drawing-room window, waiting f to three-quarters of an hour for the opportunity. ~ He swung himself from the window on to a lamp railing next door and let himself down into the street. He met Whistler a quarter of an hour afterward at Stanhope gate. He took his hat off to let him know he had got the stuff. He told nim all about it and said: ‘““You are being watched.” He said: 'Go to St. George's hospital and wait ull I come,’ Witness was there for about an hour, and while walking up and down he saw Russell. He bad seen Russell before at Robert street with Whistler. W histler spoke to Russell tirst and not in witness’ bearing. After the conversation Russell went away, and Whistler came to witness and said: “The job's come off all right then?’ The two men wentinto a public house, and when Whistler came out he called a cab and they went to Wardour street. On the way there he looked at the stones and said” they were real dia- monds. Witness and’ Whistler after- wards went to Dartford for six weeks and did not work. They*loafed"about all day and Whistler made the ac- quaintance of a girl name Nellie Stevens, He married her there on June 28, He described himself in the certificate as a diamond merchant and a widower. e forgot to mention he had a wife living. Witness was present at the marriage, and they lived at Rosary cot- tages with a Mrs,” Page, Miss Stevens' married sister. Money was sent to Whistler every week from London, gen- erally by postal order, and Russell' came to see them, Russetl told witness asthey walked along that he did the job very well. Russell appeared very pleased. They then went to Brighton 'to commit another robbery. The prosecutor said this opened up another matter, aud there wore other robberies. He was not half- way through the examination of this wit- ness yet. Mr. Partridge at this stage re- manded the prisover in custody. e An exchange says: There are more uns made on Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup ree of charge, than are paid for by the owners.

Two artificial lakes—one icy cold and stocked with trout and go'dfish, and one warm for bathing—were ched to the beau- tiful grounds. They were kept filled from natural springs but a few yards apart back in the hills. 1n the middle ot th, fish pond was an island covered with ver- dure, and in the very heart of the island Bowers had raised 1 splendid bird house. The stuble connected with the property was a handsome two-story building, 110x74 feet, with a granite basement. On the grounds were two separate natural groves of towering pine tr The piace was almost completed when Bowers and his wife returned to Nevada, and in 1864 they moved into it. The build- ing and furniture bad cost their owner $100,000. Bowers was liberal and his wife even more so, and for the rs thit he presided at the mansion the most exten- sive hospitality prevailed.

Muny took advant of her, and she became poorer and poorer Avout ten years uzo the man who is now about to tear the mansion down made an attempt to et up a lottery scheme and rafile off the house and’furniture, to- gether with the remnant of the plate and those of Mrs. Bower's dis- monds that yet remsined to her. The scheme was not suc ful. People wouald not buy tickets for a structare that would only be an expeuse if won. Soshe kept it until it was taken by a resident of Reno named Lake for a mortzage for about one-tenth of the original cost. Dur- ing all these years it was used as a pienie ground, but,one by one its beauties faded and its attractions were destroved. The elegant and costly furniture was sold and replaced by cheaper things. The bath houses were deserted and allowed to rot away, The pipes to the fountain got out of gear and were never repaired; slime and weeds gathered thick in the foun- tain and pounds; the pines were cut down. The building was so large that attention could not be given to all of it, and gradually a wornout, decaying, di- lapidated air grew over it. In parts of the house the besutiful staircise and other woodwork fell awa the w whistled in at the broken windows so dis tressingly that tinaily people would not even come to live in the habitable por- tion of the buiiding. A fow years ago Lake died and the place passed into the hauds of the pres- ent owner. His tirst appearance at the place was some years before the man- sion was built. "He, in company with two other men, wandered there ragged and hungry. One man's feet were frozen and bound up in gunnysacks. Bowi took them in and attended to their wants in a log cabin. Now this man is about to tear down the palace reared by Bow- ers on the identical spot. Sandy Bowers and his daughter rest under the pines on the hillside bac the mansion.
