THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET, The ticket nominated Friday night by the democrats caused a great deal of satisfaction among the members of that {;arl_r yesterday, the general sentiment eing that it was the strongest that could bave been put in the field. THE GAMBLERS. There1s afeeling of regret experienced n this city among the sporting people over the passage of the anti-gambling act. They say that a similar feeling exists in all the larger interior towns where gambling is carried on, though it is in some respects modified by the hope that the law will not be put into efleet. One of the leading gamblers of the city said to the Bew reporter yesterday that if the law was enforced, public gambling in this city would, of course, be cowpelled to cease. But it would be driven to pri- vate rooms where some people would still indulge in the fascination and in most cases beyond the possibility of de- tection. There are now 1in this city halt a dozen such places, generally run by a single individual with a certain number of patrons, sowe of whom are not known as professional gamblers. There are about six open gambling houses eity, in which there are about fifty people emploved, with an invested capital of something about $30,000. ALl of these, however, will have to be sacriticed, and the gamblers say it will, rather than that they should go to the penitentiary. ESTIMATES.

This afternoon about two o'clock a can of benzine caught fire in the press room of the Democrat and caused an alarm to be sounded which attracted all the fire apparatus in the city. The press man r:. the can on a shovel and threw it into street. It there exploded and scat tered the burning oil wll directions. Some of it landed on the clothes of a boy [ ew of Meyer, and set them on fire, but the lad was not injured. APPOINTMENTS.

DEBUT, The Great Binder and Mower Com- pany Invests Heavily in Omaha. next four trains will cross n Pacific bridge mto Om: *d with over 1,500 steel har » cars, loaded entirely with harversters, crossed the bridge at ay and are being carried to agents of the Deering company in the northwe: n part of the state. In wkat might be considered a single consign- ment, therefore, the house of William Deering & Co. is sending into Nebraska more grain cutting machinery than has ever been brought into the state by any other establishment of the kind in an entire year. The value of this extraor- dina nd unparalleled shipment is about $500,000. Nearly one-half of this amount William Deering & Co. will e pend during the coming summer in the establishment of a mammoth supply depot for Nebraska, southern Dakota, and the region of the great northwest connected with Omaha by railroad facilities. Mr. Dion Geraldine, general agent of the Deering company, purchased vester- day for £21,000 cash, the site of the Omaha Barb Wire company's works, on Capitol avenue and Mighth street. Mr. Geraldine came to Omaha and Nebraska in Novem- ber last and since then has been prepar- ing for this establishment of an extensive supply house. He visited Lincoln and Council Bluffs and in both cities was of- fered practically, a site for location. But he sensibly became convinced tnat it was better to buy in Omaha what these cities offered him gratuitously. Whea the property purchased yester- day 1s vacant by the Barb wire coinpan: the construction of a five story bric building of colossal proportions will be at once commenced. Access to the tracks of four railroads will be obtained and the structure will be especially .designed for the storage and shipment of grain and grass cutting machinery. This building will cost about §100,00. ‘The Coming F. E. & M. V. Shops. General Manager Fitch, of the Fre- mout, Elkhorn & Missour. Valley, ar- rived in Omaha last evening. He stated that work on the line into Omaha would be pushed as rapidly as possible. He was unsble to give definite time as to the completion of the track, but intimated that the Elkhorn would be here to cele- brate Fourth of July. Referrinz to a ublication in last eveniug's BEE of the determination of the Northwestern com- pany to construct shops here he said: “There is nothing in t 80 far as the Northwestern is concerned. ‘The Chi- cago & Northwestern does not come this side of the Missouri and neyer will.” “‘How about the Fremont Elkhorn & Missouri Valley " was asked. To this question Mr. Fitch replied: “‘the Eikhorn will soon have to construct shops of considerable magnitude. W here they will be located I cannot say." Despite the non-committal expression from Mr. Fiteh, it was reaffirmed last evening that the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Vally company had purchased ten acres just. west of Fort Omaha, and that one bundred and sixty acres not far distant had been bought by gentlemen who are “‘near to the throne.” The ten acres are to be utilized for extension ma- chine shops, and the quarter section will be the location for a \uri' flourishing su- burb of Omaha, beside furnishing room for side tracks, yards and other belong- ings of the terminus of what 1s rapidly becoming recognized as Nebraska's third great railrond corporation. The head- quarters will, of necessity, be moved to this city from Missouri Vatley, where the shops are now constructed. Fremout, all along, has been the oniy real comvetitor of Omaha for this prize, and it 18 a mat- ter of considerable concern whether, in this instance, speculation in real esta holdings by employes of the North- western em bus not decided the question. TRANSFER FREIGHT SQUABBLE. ion Supcrintendent Deuel, of the Union Pacitic, gave it as his opinioa-as he sat down on the stone base of a Pax- ton portico pillar last evening and re- marked that he was too tired to breathe —that the lowa lines, in threatening to dump off their freight at their respective Council Bluffs depots, were making a big He stated that the total of transferring freight, to the lowa roads, did not exceed $:00 or $500 per month. When this was divided up among four or five companies it didn't amount to much, Besides, they were now given the privilege of access to the transfer depot which they would not get were the Union Pacific to be ‘‘rantankerous.” To talk of building another uaioa_depot in Council Bluffs was nonsense. It would cost too much money to get the land, on the start. He was satisted the differences concern- ing transfer of freight would be amicably- llfiultod. aud that withont any radical change in the present methods. bu'il.nfllnum- » Hilldale lot 1t Jou want to make money.

Hall's Successor—A, Roscewater Caned—Other Local Matters, Twenty-Five Square Miles, The city council was ealled together last evening for the specific purpose of considering, daring the initial stages, an ordinance to extend the city limits, and ordinances to empower the mayor to call upon the ecitizens to yote at the next election upon the question of issuing bonds for certain purpc It was a hurriedly disposed boay, when it met, and in twenty minutes had transacted all the business properly before it. ~ All the councilmen except Mr. Bailey were present. The chiefly noticeable purpose of the meeting appeared in the ordinance ex tending the corporate limits to twenty- four and three fourt quare miles, and the description of which is gi as fol- lows: Beginning at the northeast corner of the southeast § of section 34, township 16, range 13, east of the 6th principal meridian; thence south on section lines two miles to the ceuter line of section 10, 15; thence in a southeasterly tion to the intersection on 1510 town into the channel of the Missouri thence down the channel of the sa to the nter: of the center line section 3, to 14, produced said channel: thence west three a three-quarter miles, more or less, to the center of section 6, township 14; thence e-quarter miles on center ction line to the northwest corner of the southwest $ of the northeast § of sec tion 7, towuship 15; thence east one mile to the center line of section S in said township 15 thence north one arter miles to the center of sec n<hip 16; thence east two and one- half miles to the place of beginning. Tde ordinance was read a first and second time and refcrved to the com- mittee on P! property and improve ments I'ne following ordinances we introduced To provide for submitting to the clectors of the city of Omaha at the annual election to be held May 3, 1837, the question of issuing the bonds of the city in the sum of $75,000 for the pur- pose of paving, repaving or macadamiz- ing the intersection of streets and the spaces opposite alleys or opposite real estate not snbject to assessment or special taxes for paving purposes. The bonds are to become due in twenty years, be sold at par and bear 6 per cent interest. It was referred to the com- mittee on paving and guttering after be- ing read twice. ik ‘o provide for submitting to the elect. ors of the city of Omaha at the annual city election to be held May 3, 1587, the question of 1ssuing the bonds of the city of Omaha in the sum of $200.000 for the con- struction of a city hall. These bonds are to become due in'twenty ycars, and to bear 6 per cent interest. bonds are to be issued as follows In 1387, §75,000; in 1358, $125,000. The ordinance was read first and second times, and referred to the committee on public property and im- provements. It was contemplated by the call for the special meeting that an ordinance for $10,000 for park purposes should be in- troduced, but an opinion by City Attorney Connell that the new charter did not per- mit the introduction of such an ordinance shut it off. Communications were received from Mayor Boyd announcing thst he had ap- proved s number of ordinances, and were placed on file. The council then ad- Jjourned. It is to be seen from the wording of the ordinance relating to issuance of bonds for the eity hall that only $75,000 can be issued this year. also HE'S A “THREE-TIME WINNER." Ashinger Defeats Ballock in Three Races—Other Sports. C. W. Ashinger, the Colorado cham- pion clearly demonstrated the fact to 1,500 people at the exposition buildiog that he is too speedy for Ed Bullock, the champion of Nebraska, in short-distance races. He defeated Bullock in the three races for which they were matched last night. The first contest wasa 10-mile race. The riders started at the firing of a pis- tol and from opposite sides of the track. The race was a hot one for the first two miles, when Ashinger, by a won- dertul spurt, overtook his oppo- nent and trailed him to the finish, thus winning the race by a half lap. The time was 32 minutes and 7 seconds. The second feature of the pro- ramme was a three mile race between “harles Moth and William Mardis, Moth won easy in 10 minutes and 10 sec- onds. Bullock and Ashinger appeared for their second race, a five mile dash, This was a repetition of the first one and was won by Ashinger in 16 minutes and 7 seconds.~ Masters Louis Armsted and Elmer Neville added a feature in a mile race which was won by young Armsted. Rl hreen (At ta Hasbady an i N. Cls ich Peabody was to run S the latter not to onds. - Bullock and Ashinger closed performance with their one mile which was won by Ashinger in 2.53 sec- ouds. 'CYCLE NOTES, Prince and Ashinger have both entered for the 100-mile road race at St. Louis on } for the championship of America. They will both ride Champion light roadsters, a new wheel. Bullock has no reason to be disheart- ened over his defeats last night. He has the honestly won title to the champion- ship of Nebraska, and demonstrated the fact thut he is the equal of the best of them in a race that tests the endurance as well as the speed of the bicycle cham- pions.

THE TABLES TURNED. with & Aundrew Rosewater, the Ex-City En- gineer, Caned. Andrew Rosewater, the retiring city engineer, tendered a banquet at the Mil- lard last night to his successor and the employes of the department. The oc- casion was a very pleasant one. After a cordial discussion of the splendid menu provided by Steward Marriott for the oc- casion, the party turned its attention to speech making and the interchange of expressions of friendship and good will. The new city engineer, Mr. G.W.Tillson, expressed on behalf of tke department the regret that they felt at the loss of their respected chief. Asa reminder of the pleasant relations which had always existed between the chief engineer and his subordinates Mr. Tillson presented his Ivl‘cfl\'c\.‘-wr with an elegant gold- headed cane,appropriately inscribed. Mr. Rosewater, although taken completely by surprise responded very aporopri- ately and guve a brief resume of the ottice trom the time of his first taking charge of it nineteen years ago npto the time of his resignation. His first prob- lem wasto n » a complete topographi- cal survey of Omaha for $300. e suc- ceeded, notonly by being chief transit man, leveler, chainman and axman, and finally paying part of the cost of the sur- vey out of his own pocket. Uvon his re- taking charge of the office in 1331 he had to combat some very peculiar ideas. One was that wlen once a grade wa lished it could never be chan though there be incidental mistake even in the office. He even at tim vocated plans that were antagonized by all the city officials and even assailed by public opinion, but he still continued to advocate them because he believed them to- be rignt, but he ex- pected to have any motive, but the right one imputed because as he aptly quot **Be your thoughts as pure as the driven snow, ye shall not escape the voice of calumny.’ After thanking the members for their kindness and again thanking them for their memento, ne sat down amid hearty and continuous applause As the party broke up, Mr. Rosewater was the recipient of hearty congratula- tions and well wishes of the eutire party.

It was with great regret that the people parted with their pastor to allow him to come to the wider fisld of usefulness for which his ripe experience had fitted bim The Southwest church in Omaha has had an interesting history. It had its origin in a Sunday school started in July, 18381, on the southwest corner of Leavenworth and Twentieth streets, now the site of the church. Rev. R. F. Hays took charge of the mission in 1832 and ‘was succeeded a year later by Rev. Thomas C. Hall, of New York. Through this pastor's efforts the present church building was secured and dedicated in 1884. In 1883, in cember, a mission was started which grew into the Castellar church. In Jul, last Mr. Hall left Omaha to accept a cul{ to Chicago.
