He is thoroughly legitimate in his methods and is oue of the fe ¥ actors who possess the power uick transition from fun to pathos. Mr. Sully brings with him to Omaha the same company that has aided him during the en- tire season. 1le also brings the expensive Brooklyn brldge set, a scenic feature that has created much enthusiasin _wherever seen. This set 13 shown in Mr, Sully’s new play, “Daddy Noian,” which will bé seen Friday evening and Saturday matinee. It presents an exact miniature of the great pridge: cars cross and recrossthe structure and the towers of the bridge are lighted by electiic lights, a battery for producing which is carried by Mr. Sully.” Saturday evening the funniest of all funny *The Corner Gro- cery, will bo iven its only production In this ecity.

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. fl\lrillg 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 Fkestner, Hellman, Moses and Lang & Nage! buildings, the Woolworth warehouse, the Ostofl stores, the Byers building, Fifteenth and Doug- laa; also castings and lamp posts for the gas company, castings for the water- works, and a variety of machine and } yards blacksmithing work for minor manutacturers. 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, Wyominyg, Kansas, Dakota aud Montana, "This in- crease in work hus necessitated an in- crease in capacity. ‘To meet this de- mand, last winter the company pur- chased an additional acre 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, This 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 character of the work done you haye but to look at the Paxton building, being erected on upper Farnam street, the First Nutional bank building, the Ramge building, the latter being almost completed on Fifteenth strect. In this enterprise, a8 in many others which have very materially benelited Omaha, it is evident that Mr. Paxton, president of this corporation, has exer- cised his acoustomed energy and good judgment.

(From the Daily Herald, February 16, 1976.] In its issue of Monday the 6th inst, the Omaha Bek published in its local columns an account of the breaking open, the day night previous, of the safein J. I vd's oflice on "Thirteenth street for which robbery two negroes, named respectively Sparks and Newton, were arrested, In the publication in question this language 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 offensive in the language quoted, but a colored politt and bummer by the name of Richard Curry, was of a different nion, for on the morning of the 9th he shed in tho Republican ot this eity, the z card under the heading **What did you Me: OMAlA, Feb, 8.—To Edward Rosewater, Publisher'Omaha Brr: In. your paper of Monday evening, February 7, appears an ar- ticle in which my place of business is spoken ofasa “colored den.” You will please_explain what Impression pou intended to leave upon the public mind by the use of those words which as generally interprated, would place me before this com- munity in a most unenviable light. (Signed) R. D. Cueny. THE CON D. ‘To this inquiry Mr. Rosewater, one of ‘the tersest and _most vigorous writers on the western press, responded with the following editorial, prefacing it with Curry’s card: “You evidently take exceptions to the fol- lowing paragraph: ‘Sparks 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 tiger at a coloréd den ‘on Douglas street,’ *“This Yl\r;n;rn ph appears in the Bre's re- port of the Boyd safe burglary with which Sparks has -~ been charved. Although no reference is made to your place of busi- ness (?) you acknowledze that the coat fits vou by making this inquiry. ‘The BEE is always courteous,and vour questions shall be answered without reserve. “‘According to Webster, a den is ‘acustom- ary place of resort: a hatn retreat for example, a den ot robbers; a den of misery and vice” A colored den wmay either be a customary place of resort; a disreputable haunt of vice and misery, painted in colors, orit v be a disreputable haunt frequented b{ persons of color. [t may be both. 1f your place of busineskissnch a don, the sooner you .i.-z more respectable employment the fess danger there w\ll be of your being insulted by paragraphs like the above. Since you have séen fit to propound this conundrum, we may as well state that whila the BEE s ever ready to demand for, and accord equal rights to, the colored “tmam, 1t also belleves that colored men shall be made amenable to the laws that punistt vive and crime in white men. 3 ) “If as you intimate, your place of business 18 a den where coforad men buck the tizer and spend their hard earned money in ean bling and kindred- crimes, the less you say about it the better for the reputat of the colored race.” A VILLATNOUS A§SAT . The foregoing was published in tr.e Bi week azo to-day, since which time no pu 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 BEK. 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, a negro biacksmith, who was standing on the corner of Duuglas, where- upon Coffey responded with: DO YOU SKE THEM THUMPERS over there?” pointing to Curry who was leisurely pacing back and forth in front of Allen’s druz store, on the opnosite corner. Jewett asked him what he meant, when Col- fey replied: “There'sgolng to be lively times over there in a fow minutes.” About this time Mr, Rosewater came down ifteenth street 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. Rosewater answered that if he had known that he N‘urr{’) considered him- self so serionsly injured by the publication in the first instance. the coluins of the Bk would have been at his service for the pub- lication of any ecommunication he miht have desired to write. ‘The words had barely been spoken when Curry drew a short “billy” from a side pocket and quick as a flash dealt Mr. Rosewater half a dozen terrible blow upon the head. After he had done this, Cotfee walked up, and, grasping Mr. Rosewater, held nim, and rewarked to the other colored bully: ‘TUE RE, YOU'VE HIT HIM ENOUGH." At this Mr, Rosewater managed to free himself, and ran across Firteenth street, but was at once pursued and overtaken by Curry near McCaflrey’s saloon, Immedlately eastof Allen’s, and there pounded a second time by Curry, By this time a crowd had collected, and Mr. " Rose: was 1escued from the attacks of his ¢ dly, brutal as- sailants and carried into Allen’s drug store, Dr. McClelland happened to be passing and was called in, 1n a short time a buggy was rocured and Mr, Rosewater was conveyed his residence on Farnam street, between Seventeenth and Elchteenth, he being then in an insensible condition. Unon being separated from the victim of Ius blind fury, CUBRY HANDED TS WEAPON to his contederate, Cottes, who threw it down astairway near Allen's office, whero it was afterward ~found, is now in the possession of Judge Porter, The two brutes were arrested by Constable Hanlon and taken to the police office, a large following and erving “lyneh No attack was made upon the” two prisoners, however, but they were safely con “(l to the police office and there ar raigned on e charge of ault and battery. Judge Porter had fust tixed Curry’s bail at €300 for his appearance this morning, when Andrew Rosewater came into the court roc wita the information that his brother's injuries were 8f tife most serious eharact and swore out a warkant aganst Curry and Coffec on the charge of assault with intent to commit murder, whereupon the judge at once increased 'therr bail to 85,000 ind both he and Cotlee were hustlad off to jail. WHO CUBRY IS, Curry has béen in Omaha a number of i'u and is well known i At one time \e*was the proprietor of a large barber shiop on Farnam streetand atterwards on Douglas. Latterly hehas drifted into polites and has been somewhat dpught after by republics wire pullers abont election times under tho impression that he equtrolled the nezro yote ot Omaha. by ‘The result Is e has become worthless and insolent, and for a year or two ‘m«l has been of the impression that he was the most fm portant personage in this section. At the Inst term of the district court he served as a Juryman, and has maae ita po'nt to crowd himselt into the theatre and seat himselt with the white people whenever a theatrieal ¢mn- pany of any note Las visited Omaha. The BEE never has charged him with kevping a disreputable resort, and if he had had” sense enouzh to keep his mouth shut the public would not have supposed bis place was the one referred to in the publication of which he complained, The llr-ml.L however, dis- tinetly states that his Douglas str lishment is the resort of rufMans, se: and sneak thieves, white and black. should pave been raided by tae poliee long ag B 't estab THE PEELING IN THE STREETS Iast night was intense, and thieats of re course to lyneh law were freely made. About 10 o’clock It was raported that Mr. Rlusewater was dead, and had it not been for a reliable contiadiction of this ruwor, it is allogether ey s e e e m e i Pl e e probable there would have been an outbreak of the indignant populace before mornine. ‘The attack of Curry was sv entirely unpro- voked and unwarrrated that it excited a seorm of indignation which it was difficult to restrain. ‘This community has no toler- ance for bullies and ruflians, white or black, as they will learn to their cost, when they give license to the instinets of their brutal natures Later—Since the foregoing was put in type we learn that it has been definitely ascer- tained that there are several white men im- plicated in this brutal outrage, and that the wo neroes were merely tools in their hands, the attack being the result of a carefully ‘.I«mwd conspiracy, Four days ago Andrew losewater was told by one of our most respected citizees that he had overheard a plot against Edward Rosewater, and that the pvublication of Curry's card was a part of that plot. —— N.

The Beautiful Vallev of Papillion as Seon From Westlawn, FREE EXCURSION WEDNESDAY, Two Rallronds Sure, and Probably Another—Besides the Eleotric Road—Some of the Advan- tages of gWestlawn, Yesterday afternoon, in compa George Hicks, two carriage loa capitalists and newspaper representa- tives had a very pleasant drive over the southwestern part of the city. The trip ended as far west as the Missouri Pa- cific railroad and the junction of the sur- veyed line of the North ern and other proposed roads in the valley of the little Pamilion, The scenery obtained from this lo- cality is simply magnficent and ecalled forth u::mv admiring words from those who the pleasure of secing it. The view S grand all along ~ the valley, but it is beyond comparison when taken from Westlawn, a new addition just platted. This beautiful piece of ground lies 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 not the only good point in favor of Westlawn, for the Missouri Pacific railway, which is now running six passenger trains daily by it, are preparing to build a handsome depot within a block and a half of W, lawn, when elegant suburban trains wil be put on and run every hour in the Then the Omaha & Southwestern eled motor which its road completed nearly to Westlawn will connect with Pacific depot and run cars the Missour: Pa to and from the city every few minutes. The Northwestern folks have surveyed their line through the western cdge of Westlawn to South Omaha and_still’ an- other line, suppo! 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 and what they propose to do with it can only be conjectured, but 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 affords bet- ter inducements for manufacturing houses than this beautiful valley of the Papillion. 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 Pacitic 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. 2 Theu, when the price of the lots is taken into consideration, no man in . Omaha need longer be without a home. Westlawn lots will be sold at from $300 to $400, with oniy one-fifth cash and the balance on very easy terms. 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 four mile circle runs through it. Westlawn was surveyed by W. E. Hawley, the civilon’%im»cr, and he suc- ceeded in 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 and refreshments can be 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 mnever taken a ride over the belt line should avail themselves of this ovbportunity to see the great number of improvements going on along its line, and at the same time get & 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 and Farpam, or Geo. N, Hicks, 215 South Fifteenth street, and secure free tickets. These gentlemen are sole agents for Westlawn, and most cordially “invite all to take in the excursion and sce their beautiful property. — a—— The Will of Baroness Betty de Roth- schiid.
