Pall Mall tte: We hear so much in these days of literary coincidences, re- semblances and plagiarisms, that when Mr. Irving produces Watt Phillip's “Dead Heart” at the lyceum the very striking similarity between the closing e and the last pages of Dicken's 'ale of Two Cities'' 1s certala to be re- marked. Ineach is presented a man who, in the very hopelessness of his love, substitutes himself on the guillotine dur- ing during the terror tor one sentenced by the revolutionary tribunal; and the interest culminates in both with the counting of the numbers of the con- demned.

A few facts and figures in relation to the Paxton & Vierling Iron works may be of interest to the public as indicating how far our manufacturing industries are keeping pace with the growth of the city. This company has been in existence only a little over a year and althoun it had to take up a business which under former management had been unsuccess- ful, its success has been remarkable. During the present year commencing January 1, contracts have been taken for work amounting to over §75,000, and most of the contracts have already been filled. Among the buildings on which this work has been and is to be done, we may men- tion the new Barker Bros.’ block, the Millard Estate warehouse, the Dr. Mercer warehouse, the Academy of the Sacred Heart, the Krug Brewing Co.'s addition, the United States National bank, the Linton block, the kestner, Hellman, Moses and Lang & Nage! buildings, the Woolworth warehouse, the Ostofl stores, the Byers building, Fifteenth and Doug- las; also castings and lamp posts for the gas company, castings for the water- works, and a variety of machine and blacksmithing work for minor manufacturers. These are all iu the city. Outside of the city work ‘has been furnished throughout the state 1n the leading towns where building is going on, and is being forwarded to points in lowa, Wyoming, Kansas, Dakota aud Montana, This in- crease in work has necessitated an in- crease in capacity. ‘To meet this de- mand, last winter the company pur- chased ‘an additional acro of ground from Mr. Kountze. This ground is now being graded off, and contracts have been let for a new brick foundry, on which the work will be begun at once, Thus foundry will cost over $15,000, and when completed the working force will be increased by over fifty to seventy-five men. As an evidence of the volume of work done one must see the enormous ship- ments of pig iron, massive beams, gird- ersand other material, To gain an idea of the racter of the work done you have but to look at the Paxton building, being erected on upper Farnam street, the First National bank building, the Ramge building, the latter being almost completed on Fifteenth street. In this enterprise, as in many others which have very materially benelited Omaha, it is evident that Mr. Paxton, president of this corporation, has exer- cised his accustomed energy and good Jjudgment.

It will be seen that as usual, the Journal has grossly wisrepre- sented the facts in the case: BRUTALITY —A COWARDLY AND BEATEN WITH IN THE HANDS OF AN INFURI- ATED RUFFIAN—THE FIENDISH ASSAIL- ANTAND 118 ACCOMPLICK IN JATL. (From the Daity Herald, February 15, 1876.] In its issue of Monday the 6th inst. the Omaha Bk published in its local columns anaccount of the breaking open, the Satur- day night previous, of the safe in J. E. Bovd's oftice on ‘Lhirteenth street for which robbery two negroes, named respectively Sparks and Newton, were arrested, In the publieation in question this Ianzuage was used: *Sparks and Newton were known to have been out ona spree during all of Saturday night. spending money freely, and bucking the. tiger at acolored den on Douglas street.” AN INQUIRY, ‘To the average reader there was nothing especially offen: in the language quoted, but a colored poli n and bummer by the name of Richard Curry, was of a different opinion, for on the morning of the 9th he published in the Republican of this city, the following eard under the heading **What did you Mean . Feb, lo Edward Rosewater, Publisher Omaha In_your paper of Monday evening, February 7, appears an ar- n which my place ot business is spoken of asa “eolored den.’ You will please explain what impression you intended to leave upon the public mind by the use of those w which as generally interpreted, would place me before munity in a most unenviable light. (Signed) R. Y THE CONUNDRUM ANSWERE To this inquiry Mr. Rosewater, one of ‘the tersest and most vigorous writers on the western press, responded with the following editorial, pretacing it with Curry’s card: “You evidently take exceptions to the fol- lowing paragraph: ‘Svarks and another colored man, named Newton, were known to have been out on a spree during all of Saturday night, spending money freely and bucking the colored den ‘on Douglas street,” 'his paragraph appears in’ the BEE'S re- port of the Boyd safe burglary with which Sparks has ~ been charsed. Although no reference is made to your place of busi- ness () you acknowledge that the coat fits vou by making this inquiry. The BEFE is always courteous,and your questions shall be answered without reserve. **According to Webster, a den is ‘acustom- ary place of resort: a haunt; aretreat: as, for example, a den ot robbers; a den of misery and vice) A colored den wmay either be a customary place of rosort; a disreputable haunt of vice and mhorg. painted in colors, or it may be a disreputable haunt frequented br persons of color. [t may be both. If your place of busineskissnch a den, the sooner you fiut more respectahle employment the fess anger there w\llbem' vour being Insulted by paragraphs like the above. Since you have saen fit to propound this conundrum, we may as well state that while the BEE Is ever ready to demand for, and accord equal rights to, the colored “tnam, 1t aiso belleves that colored men shall be made amenable to the laws that punistt viw and crime in white men. s ] *If a8 you intimate, your place of business 18 a den_where coforod men buck the tizer, and spend their hard earned money in eam- bling and Kkindred. crimes, the less you say about it the better for the reputa of the colored race.” A VILLATNOUS ASSAT , The foregoing was published in tre BEE a week azo to-day, since which time no public mention has been made of the matter, and those of our eitizens who knew the character of the colored individual who was so desir ous of being insulted, were of the opinion that he had received just what he deserved at the hands of the BEE. Yesterday atternoon, between five and six o'clock, Mr. Rosewater went into the United States court house on business, and a few minutes later Mr. George Jewett spoke to Smith Coffey, & negro blacksmith, who was standing on the corner of Duuglas, where- upon Coffey responded with: U SKE THEM THUMPERS to Curry who was ly pacing back and forth in front of en’s druz store, on the opnosite corner. Jewett asked him what he meant, when Cof- fey replied : “There'sgolng to be lively times over there in a few minutes.” About this time Mr. Rosewater came down Fifteenth streat and was met at the corner by Curry, who bezan talking with him in re- lation to the publication above referred to, to which Mr. Rosowater answered that if he had known that he 1(‘urr¥') considered hi self so serionsly injured by the publicat in the tirst instance. the coluinns of the I would have been at his service for the pub- licatton of any communication he mi:ht have desired to write. ‘The words had barely been spoken when Curry drew a short “billy” from a side pocket and quick as aflash dealt Mr. Rosewater half a dozun tel ¢ blow upon the head. After he had done this, Cotfee walked up, and, grasping Mr. Rosewater, held nim, and remarked to the other colored bully: ‘TUB RE, YOU'V At this Mr. Ros tiger at a HIT UIM ENOUGE managed 10 free himself, and ran across Fitteenth street, but was at once pursucd and overtaken by Curry near McCaflrey’s saloon, Immediately eastof Allen’s, and there pounded a second time by Curry. By this time a_crowd had ed, and Mr.” ROSeWALST Was 10 rdly, bruf and carrled into Allen’s drug_ store, Dr. McClelland happened to be passing and was called in, 1n a short time a buggy was procured and Mr, Ros ater was conveyed to his residence on Farnam street, between Seventeenth and k th, he béing then in an insensible condition. : Unon being separated from the vietim of ued d LANDED ITIS WEAPON to his contederate, Coftes, who threw it down astairway near Allen's oftice, whero it was afterward found, and” is now in the possession of Judze Porter, The two brutes were arrested by Constable flanlon and taken to the police office, a large crowd following and erving “lyneh them!” No attack was made upon prisoners, however, but they convered to the police office raigned on the charge of a Judge Porter had fust tixe #3500 for his appeara . when Aundrew Rosewater came into the court room wita the information that his brother’ injuries were of tlie most serious eharacter, and swore out a warkant aganst Curry and Coffec on the cargs of assault with intent o commit murder, whereupon the judge at once inereased 'therr bail to 85,000 and both he and Cotlee were hustlad off to jail.

The Beantiful Vallev of Papillion as Seon From Westlawn, FREE EXCURSION WEDNESDAY, Two Railronds Sure, and Probably Another—~Resldes the Eleotric Road—Some of the Advan- tages of gWestlawn, Yesterday afternoon, in company with George N. Hicks, two carriage loads of i ists and newspaper representa- tives had a very pleasant drive over the southwestern part of the city. The trip extended as fur west as the Missouri Pa- cific railroad and the junction of the sur- veyed line of the Northwestern and other proposed roads in the valley of the little Papilion, The scenery obtained from this lo cality is simply magnificent and called forth many admiring words from those who had the pleasure of secing it The view s grand all along the valley, but it s beyond comparison when taken from Westlawn, a new addition just platted. This beautiful piece of ground iies almost in the valiey and slopes gently to the west and south, and will make one of the most beautiful places for suburban homes around the city. The view is notthe only good point in favor of Westlawn, for the Missour: Pacific railway, which is Now running six puassenger trains daily by it, are preparing to build a handsome depot wnllin a block and a half of West- lawn, when elegant suburban trains will be put on and run every hour in the dayg Then the Omaha & Southwestern electrie motor which has its road completed neatly to Westlawn will connect with the Missour1 Pacific depot and run cars to and from the city every few minutes. The Northwestern folks have surveyed line through the western edge of awn to South Omaha and _still an- other line, supposed to be the Nebraska Central, is surveying along the same route. The Northwestern has bought 200 acres not a half mile north of West- lawn aud what they propose to do with it can only be conjectured, buf the fact that they have bought it 1s a very good indication that they intend to” locate their shops there, There is no place dround the city that aflords bet- ter inducements for manufacturing houses than this beautiful valley of the Papllion. Already one large agricul tural implement manufactory has located here and over 100 men will be employed the year round. Within the next sixty days the su- burban trains on the Missouri ific and belt line and the electric cars will be in operation, and then Westlawn will have what no other addition to Omaha has, two ways of rapid transit. Just think of it, by onn route Westlawn can be reached in fifteon minutes, and by the other not longer than thirty minutes. Theu, when the price of the lots is into consideration, no man in . Omaha need longer be without a home. Westlawn lots will be sold at from $300 to $100, with only one-fifth cash and the balance on very ensy terms. g 3 'his beautiful addition is located di- rectly west of Hanscom Park and the poor farm. The celebrated Patrick farm is a short distance northeast of it and the runs through it. surveyed by W. E the civil on%inncr‘ and he suc- n making 700 large and beauti ful lots out of the 145 acres which West- lawn occupies. Now take into consideration its dis- tance, its unequaled tacilities for getting in and out of the city, the prices of the lots, and the magnificent view, and who wants a better home? Besides this, this valley is the only practicable route for the railroad to get into south Omaha, and before many days the whole valley will be lined with manufacturing houses of every kind, for no better trackage can be found anywhere. One especially attractive feature of this splendid property is the abundance of beautiful groves adjoining it. A large hotel, where shelter ‘und refreshments can pe secured, makes this one of the best places for'a picnic that can be had around the city. Itis the intention of the proprietors to run free trains to Westlawn next Wednesday, and those who have never taken a ride over the elt line should avail themselves of this ovportunity to see the great number of improvements going on along its line, and at the same time get a chance to sce the most beautiful place for a suburban home yet located near the city. All who desire to go on this excursion shonld call on either Seaver & Whitcomb, room 25, Paxton building. corner Fifteenth an Farpam, or Geo. N, Hicks, 215 South Fifteenth street, and secure free tickets. Thesa gentlemen are sole agents for Westlawn, and most cordially invite all to take in the excursion and sce their beautiful property. ——t— The Will of Baroness Betty do Roth- schild.
