Callaway Will Not Accept—Burglars Make a Raid—The City's Popula- tion—1 rw Police Alarm ~Other Local News, The Nebraska Central, 1f there are any doubts as to whether the Chies i8 behind the Nebraska Central scheme which has been so thoroughly aired dur- ing the past, they ought to be dispelled by the arrival i this city of Mr, F. W, all, the manager of construction for road. That gentleman got in from Milwaukee and has since been closeted with the off Is of the Nebraska Cen- tral road, discussing important matters bearing upon the new scheme, He has rushed his business through and will probably leave to-night for Milwaukee, His visit here is said to have been con- nected with the construction of the ne w bridge, over which the Milwaukee road will enter Omaha, He is authority on bridge matters, and s visit here was f importance in this connection. ““What will be the cost of the bridg sked of Mr. Kimball yeste morning by a reporter for the Beg, “It is hard to tell,” he replied, “‘that is something that will be determined after a while.” . “Will it be bridge?” “That has not yet been determired either. I beli the franchise permits the company to build & foot and wagon bridge in connection with the railrond bridge, if it is so desired.” Mr. Kimball was very guarded in his rephes, but he practically admitted that the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road was backing the Nebraska Central enter- prise when he d, in reply to further questioning, that he knew little about the scheme, except what had been communicated to him by General Superintendent k of the Milwaukee road. “The factis,” he said, “our road has but lately taken hold of this thing, and [ have not had time to post myself thoroughly about it. I was sent out here on very short notice to confer about cer- tain matters.” A party of surveyors started out yester- day morning to survey the route for the new road. Roughly sketched, the line runs from a point near the smelting works west on Dodge, diagonally across to exclusively a railroad Webster, and crossing Sixteenth ftreet between lzard and Nicholas. Thence it goes west, cutting south near the city hmits, and making a circle to the stock yards. This was the route outlined by one of the officers of the company yesterday morning. 1t is said that this preliminary survey will be completed within o few days and thet then the survey will strike off due west. “We shall certainly build 150 miles of the road this year,” said one of the oflicers yesterday morning. CALLA WAY I'AS DECLINED, Vice Presideat Callaway of the Union Pacific 'has sent a telegram to Judge Gresham at Chicago, declining the flatter ing offer of the receivership of the V bash road which was made to himon Sat- urday. Mr. Callaway's declination was positive and final, A reporter called at Mr. C.'s residence yesterday morning, but asthat gentleman was still very weak, did not see him. His reasons for declining the offer were as- certained to be two fold, howeve the first place, he I with the Union P 3 which he could not very well '\\uo In the second place his health at pre is uncertain and he could not imm ately accept the position. Mr. Callaway, has been ill more or less for four months, and he could not afford to enter upon the arduons work which would be re- \le;llml of him us receiyer of the Wa. ash.

THEY L - A NICKL Burglars Who Were Considerate— Wholesale Housebreaking. Two rather peculiar burglaries were reported to the police yesterday morning. One of them occurred at the residence of | Alfred Frost, 2004 Dodge street. About 9o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Frost was awakened by hearing a noise in the room and looking over the foot of the bed could see the retlection in the mirror of the head of a man crawling on his hands and kneos botween the foot of the hed and the dresser. She awakened her hus- band, who made an exclamation which alarmed the burglar, The latter wled out of the room as g:i as he could, By this time, Mr. Frost was thoroughly awakened and grasping his reyolver, d after the intruder. The b-xrzlur toe much the start of him, however, ran out of the front door, before Mr. rost could bring his revolver to bear on m.

The coal depo southerly through Towa, Mi sas and the Indian territory, is found in us so thick (from six to eight feet) that the coal is mined within itsclf, so that what is commonly termed the slack (which is the richest part of the coal that bre coff from the lumps when being mined and moved about) consists of a larger percentage of fuel than the lump coal from the same mine, as the in- combustible portion of the cn-\l (which forms clinker when burned) is harder than the coal itself, running in minute mat does the running ouri, Kan veins or streaks through th there- fore, doos notbronk upin handling tothe same extent as the soft c It will be seen from the foregoing that the objee- tion to the fine coul screenings (called slack) in Chicago does not hold good in Omaha. The importance of this differ- ence will be manifest when you consider that this slack coal can be secnred in this market for about one-half the price of the lump coal from the same mines, and furthermore when it is found that the same quantity of this slack coal will do even more work than like quantity of the lump.
