The trial of Dr. Cross for the killing of Dr. McKunc is progressing quite rapidly at Red Oak., This being the home of Smith McPherson, one of the attorneys for the defense, the attempt to work up & sympathy for Cross hassucceeded well, The sentiment of the community is quite favorable to him, and tho prediction is made quite freely that Cross will not be convicted, or that at the most he will be convicted of manslaughter. The defense hasmade a desperate eflort to show that Dr. McKune was a very quarrelsome man, and thus corroborate Cross' stor; that McKune came ug behind him an struck him a terrible blow. This attempt on the part of the defense to malign the character of the man who isnow silent in death, and notable to defena himself from these attacks, or tell his side of tho trag- edy, has caused the state to subpena a Infge number of witnesses from here to testify in rebuttal. Deputy Sheriff O'Neill was yesterday serving these subpwnas, there being thirty or forty of them, ‘The most of the testimony thus far is a repetition of that in the previous trial. The state has produced one important new witness, Mr. McKisson, who saw the beginning of the affair, and whose testi- mony shows Cross to have been the ag- gressor. His testimony flatly contradicts Cross' stalements in very material mat- ters. On the part of the defense Mrs, Arnold is the sensational new witness. She saw the whole affair and declares that Cross’ version of it is correct n every detall. ~ She swears that she lslw Dr, MLcKuns hcolumu up lrup- 1dly upon Cross, aving something in” Ble" hand,' with © which " he struck Cross. She narrates just how the two men had their hands in the struggle over the revolver, when McKune was shot, and in fact tells exactly the same story as is given by the defendent. The trial will last several days yet. Dr. Cross and his attorneys seem very conti- dent of the result. —————— ‘When you are 1n the city stop at the Pacific house.

A Variety of Opinions Ooncerning the Motor Railway Orossings. NO GREAT DELAY EXPECTED. The Demana For Cheaper Gas—City Finances—Weather Signals to Be Hung Out—A Law- yer's Wardrobe, The Decision Made. It was nearly 10 o'clock last evening when the commissioners concluded their report, Itis understood that under the finding there will be no difficulty in an arrangenment being made by which the Manawa ralway will run over onto Eighth street, thus avoiding going through the Rock Island yards, and then turn back onto Ninth street again. By putting in the proper crossings there is no further trouble expected and the road will be thus pushed to an early comple- tion, although there will be some little delay caused at the best. ‘I'he report of the commissioners was as follows: THEDECIS | 1857, the K. Gray On June 2 oners re- ral man- pany, cling om the Broadway depot of the Union fic railway in Council Blufts, Ta., to Lake Manawa; that he had laid most of his track and was preparing to cross the tracks of the above mentioned roads at grade on Ninth st but had been cnjoined by the Chicazo, Rock tsland & Pa- hicago, Buriington & Quincy and £o, Milwaukee & St Paul r: ways. ‘To the complaint_the commissioners replied that as the matter was in- the nands of the courts any interfercnce on their part would be impertinent, Further communica- tion with Mr. Gray the commis- sioners to visit Couucil Blutfs on Jun re they met Mr, Thomas Wright, ney tor the Chicago, Rock Island & 'acific railway,whodisclaimedany authority to make any coticessions for his comy ment of parties Thursday, Jun for the hearing, and the' repre : the three railways suing out injunctions were notilied to meet the commissioners at that time in Council Bluffs, On that date the case was taken up for parties being pr Graves that his company eross at e, all of the tracks on Ninth street and that he wished to notch the the rails or the roads crossed to a depth which would allow the flange of the wheels of his motor to pass through. All of the companies objected to a erade crossing and to notching ‘the rails. The Chicago, Rock Islanp & Pacific espec- fally objected to a grade crossing at Ninth street from the fact that it was in the limits of their switching yards, and would cross six tracks that were eonstantly in use for switching cars; that the usual stops and si nals required by law, must be made for every switching train, moving on thesd tracks as well as through “trains and that the detrlment to the use of their road was such that they would be compelled to resist the crossing by every means in their power, The ot railw: represented made no special objection to the grade crossing on this street more than the other streets, but all united in the statement that they rezarded this as a case when the crossing should be overhead, and that there was no necessity for a grade crossing. The also all united in the statement that cutting or notching the rails, as suggested by Mr. Graves, would be attend by great damage to their roads and danger in their use. The vowers of the commission, as they under- stand, are in this case purely advisory, and whatcver findings they may make may be disregarded unless ‘deterimined reason- ably by the courts on appeal to them in ‘the ‘formn_ prescribed by statute. It has been the uniform practice of the commis- sioners to discourage as much as possible all grade crossings even down to common high- ways. In several cases they have refused emphatically to eive their consent to the operation of streets across rallway tracks in yards even when the inhabitants of the town have unanimously requested it. The safety of the public is paramount to all considera- tions, either of convenience or economy. In this case a steam motor lne virtually run- ning from two large cities with an aggregate of nearly one hundred thousand 1nhabitants to a summer watering resort, over which in all rmbab)ll‘y great numbers will be con- stantly going and coming through the sum- mer months, seek 10 cross the tracks and in one case the yards of four of the great trunk lines of railroads, which are important links in the central trans-continental railways of the nation. The first question to be deter- mined is the necessity of a grade cross- ing. The commissioners are of the opin- fon that the word mnecessary is limited in its meaning by the circumstances and conditio surmulmlnfl the special case under consideration. While it rarelv hap- pens that a rallway crossing under similar conditions of topography 18 made in this state other than at grade, and they elieve they are fully sustained in the opinion that this Is a case where a &rade is unavoidabla for the present and they so hold. The state law with recard to railway crossinz it strictly complied with, should give reasonable protection and security against accidents, ‘These crossings being within the city limits, It is also the provines of the city authorities to require flazmen to be sta- tioned in localities that are dang furnish such_other safeguards as may be necessary, With regard te mnotching the ralls, for the flanges, they, from the state- ments made, and from their knowledge of its effacts on steel rails, are of the opinion that the tracks crossed should be with the regular crossing frogs, such as are usual in railway crossings, and they so hold. The commissioners are of the opinion that the crossh{ of the Chicago, Itock Island & Pacitie tracks should be efther at Eighth or Seventh street, and as advised see no special objection to the crossing of the tracks of the other roads on either of these streets named, and they accordingly advise the crossing to be made In compliance with the above sug- gestion. the ager of the Lake Manaw ilwi acomplaint stating that he was const a motor line ———— Conflicting Crossings. The state railway commission arrived in this city yesterday morning over the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road and proceeded to the Pacific house. At 9:500'clock the commissioners, with President Dey in the chair, opened their session 1n tho rooms of the board of ed- ucaticn, The object of their appearance in this city, as is well known, was to settle the diflibulties that have arisen in regard to to the Lake Manawa railway com‘:nny‘s crossing the different railroad tracks. There were anumber of gentlemen present representing the different rail- roads, among them being Geuneral Cowin of Omaha, representing the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul; also the gentle- man who caused the first injunction to be 1ssued against the Manawa road’s cross- ing the waukee; R. B. C. Campbell, division superintendent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul; A. Kimball, vice president, and John Given, superintend- ent ot “the Rock Island, and Thomas k. Wright of Des Moines, attorne; for the Rock lsland. Mr. Hohl of the Kansas City, St. Joe & Council Blufls, Mr. Dresler of the *Q.,"” W. W. Blythe, attorney, of Burlington; W. C. Brown, superintendent of the Chi- 0ago, uurninfion & Quiney; C. A. Mos- man of the Kansas City, St. Joe & Coun- cil Bluffs, The chairman stated the object of the meeting and explained that J. K. Graves wished to cross the tracks in the easiest possible manner, and that the courts had granted an injunction, and his under- standing of the case was that so long as the courts interferred the only jurisdic- tion of the commission was to try to get those interested to come to some agree- ment, He suggested that the roads take their turn and offer their uu*eution-. W. W. Blight of the “Q.” asked the weight of the ourl,‘fouenl plan, ete., of crossing, and asked for an exp\lnluon from Graves, - M’l‘h- chalrman stated that as they had en enjoined from crossing on Ninth street he'd like to know where they wished to cross. Thomas I‘..erzhl. representing the Chicago, Rock Tsland & Paclfie, then stated the Rock Island's objections as be ing that the crossing as proposed was right in the Rock Island vards.” He pre- ferred them to take Eighth street to cross; tinder the laws the Rock Istand would be compelled to stop each time the Rock Island made a switch. He referred to the original ordinance granting the motor line the right to cross Kighth strect and the resolution of the city council assed later changing temporarily to Ninth street. Eighth street raded while Ninth was. The and objects to the place simply as it annoys I{n- switching, The Chair: “ls there any place you would not object to. 1f the line ghould n\ngn Eighth street would your company ob; A. A Kimball said a_grade crossing s objectionable to the Rock Island, “The chair thought a grade crossing was all right as the roads were all at the same grade, Wright thought an overhead crossing preterable. W. C. Brown, of the “Q,” referred to several overhead crossings thet hs been made simply to cross two fr. while here they cross the entire yard he figured on basis of the mext ten years to come that the wotor line would have to cross twice the number of tracks as at present. The chair said if both these roads n sisted on this position it would Lave to £0 to the courts to be decided, Mr. Graves stated that the Rock Island had a right to two tracks only, whil they new obstructed the strects with six The chair thonght the Rock Island owned the property from what knowl- edge he had on the subject. Spencer Smith, of the commission, asked the opinion of Mr. Wright of the jurisdiction of the commission. As Mr. Wright had had all the say he preferred sonie one else to answer that, 80 Mr. Blythe gave it as his opinion that the commission might investigate ane make a recommendation, no matter if injunctions hed been granted by the courts, In this he thought the commission risdiction to ‘n-uvviwl, and if 1t can be amica oly settled it would be better. He advised an amicable settlement which upon the whole would b isfactory to all parties interested. He agreed with the chair that the commission was in a peculiar position, 1junctions having been granted. He believed that some plan should be devised to avoid crossing, but should it be necess: grade erossing the Q" would prefer a crossing at Ninth street. The “Q” would not be apt to object should the commis- sion direct a grade crossing. He thought the “Q." would ncquiesce. “We are de- cidedly of the opinion that the commis- sion should not advise a grade crossing, but should insist on an overhead cross- ing,” he continued. He then referred to the viaduets in Omaha and other cities, He thought the expense attached to it should not be taken into consideration in view of the number of lives endangered, that the dange id liability to aceident were so large that an overhead crossing was preferable. Mr. Wright then presented a d the tracks of all the roads as were three years ago, which the comn sien and others examined, Mr. Campbell, of the Milwaukce, said practically there would be no diflerence to them which street was used. Either Eighth or Ninth strect. Mr. Blythe asked to hear from Mr. Cowin, as they had no opportunity to confer with each other he’d like to hear frow the other roads. neral Cowin said the Milwaukee's first objection was the me as the Rock Island, and that the: 1S 0 view; the crossing could not be seen, it being cut off from view. He was not prepared to give his ovinion as to the jurisdiction of the commission. Any recommendation they might make would be of great hene- fit to the Milwaukee road, The Milwau- W kee people would not ignore "The road would submit to a grade crossing if the Manawa line would enter into the usual agreement in such case to tnke vroper care of the crossings. 1f the other roads insist on an overhead crossing then the jurisdiction of the commission would cease, The Milwaukee fecels as if an overhead crossing should be decided upon, to say nothing about the interest CH TR represented. The commission, for the safety of the passen- gers on the motor line, ought not to r uire a grade crossing, He then re- ?vrn-,d tothe Omaha viaducts and the dangerous Tenth street crossing in Omaha as well. “Women and children will crowd these motor cars, they'll be run frequently and I suggest to this com- mission whether they ought not to ad- vise ano verhead crossing. In Omaha we do not allow street cars to cross, they built viaducts to cross on.” At this point Mr. Samuel Haas asked Mr. Cowin who built the via- ducts, and he explained that the city did and under the law the railroads were compelled to pay for one-third of them. Mr. Haas said that the shape the thing was assuming it looked as if they wuulfi be compelled to bmld viaducts to cross. ‘The motor line would cause thousands of people to visit this city and the lake; it would be cheap and convenient. *‘If you iasist on viaduects you will receive subscriptions from your railroads to pay for the same,”’ he stated. “‘Your com- Im\ics are occupying a large number of ots and much ground you have no authority on." At this point the chair called Mr. Haas to order and requested him to remain on the subject before the commission, at the same time saying, ‘‘we'll admit they are unreasonable,” Mr. Haas said they should ‘‘give and take” and not be all one-sided, Mr., Cowin requested Mr. Haas to state if the motor line were willing to enter into the usual agreement if a grade crossing was made, and Mr. Graves said the road would like to notch the tracks and put in a temporary crossin Blythe said the ‘ would object and under no circumstances would it have it, and he did not think the commission would entertain The chair: “I the first plase we'd like to know 1f these different companies would acquiesce 1n allowing a crossing at any street; if the courts have to decide the road cannot cross this season.’” Mr. Kimbull again showed himself by saymng it would not take long to build a viaduct such as would answer. Wright said the pendency of these cases in the courts does not defeat the jurisdic tion of this commission. He referred to the passage of the ordinance granting right of way in February last and that no attempt until very re- cently had been made by any per- son to see if the railroads would permit a crossing. He thought it strange that the road shnuld be built be- fore they found out if there were objec- tions or not to crossinz. “A recom- mendation of this commission can do no barm, but the Rock Island must resist a crossing at Ninth street.” Commissioner Coflin asked Mr, Wright if the eity had given a street car com- runy the l‘iFhl to_cross at Ninth street; if he believed the Rock [sland could stop them, and Wright replied by saying he thougnt they could, Mr. Haas then explained about the ordinance resolution, ete., and how in- definite the arran ents were, and that finally they “‘did think the roads would want the earth.” Mr. Graves stated how he notified the roads that he would like to cross their tracks, and they respounded with writs of injunetion. i {r, Mosman, of the K, C,, said he did not wish to be understood as opposing the crossing provided they did no unu- sual amount of damage; - that ' the 'Q's" decision would' largely influence the Kansas City, He thought the com- | mission had power to act, Graves wantedto noteh the tracks an inch at the most, wThis was found to be objectionable to allfhe roads and Com- missioner Smith referred to crossings in Dubuque all being dotehed. Charles Keith stated he weighed the motors; they weigh 13,500 pounds each; are one and & quarter inch flange and three inch tre The whee e two fect in djiameter. The above being the weight without fu Commissioner Coflin asked Blythe the saume question he put to Wright. Blythe thought the Rock Island could stop a street car crossing where the Q" could not, as they had more tracks The sume gentleman asked, “do we understand it, if the commission were to recommend an overhead crossing, that you gentiemen would objeet to atempor- ary grade crossing?” Kimballl re- plicd” that the Kock Island would not provided they put in a good crossing, but he would “have no noteches and it should only be tempo- rarily. Wright virtually admitted the occupy- ing of more ground than the Rock Island was entitled to; that they had been thers for lifteen years or more to the city's knowledge, After the chairma! allowing plenty of time for anything eclse that might be Mr. Biythe suggested that the on dismiss the gentlemen of the ind the commission without ion repaired for their luneh, it being then 12:80 o’elock. - . Gas Must Be Cheaper, 1zens generally have not been <o stirred up in a long time over any public matter as they are now over the gas question, The morning paper. which shouts loudest, “work to build up Coun- cil Blufts,”” and does the least, has not a word to say denunciatory of the attempt being made to fasten this gas monovoly upon the people for another long term of year: It says in substance that this city would like to have lower gas rates, but that the gentlemen who own the gas works are very pleasant s, who will doabtless give the desire a respectful consideration. The time has past for such wishy-washy stuff. While it is true no one 15 inaking any personal fight upon the individual members of the gas com- till it is true that personal influ- ve been brought Lo bear wpon cal organs to keep them from ad the poli vocating the rights of the public, as against the wishes of & monopol S it is not a_ personal fight.

The present company evidently relies on the fact that it has an exclus ceharter for about two years y 1ts p posal to secure an extension so far ah of the expiration of its charter indi that it prefers to make a new arrangement at a4 time when it was a little difficult to entc proposals from other gas companie This 1s only one of the many features in- dicating that there is a vl scheme vlanned out. ‘The public must be on the alert. The manner in which the ordi- nance was slipped through asecond read- ing shows that there is a desperate and cunning plan_to rush through this ordi- nance, if possible. ‘The couneil should, at its meeting to-night, take definite action, killing the ordinance so dead us to satisfy the public that it will not be re- vived. The plan, as openly avowed, is to get the ordinance i the hands of a committee to confer with the gascom- pany. The public wants no such confe ences going on between a committee of the council and a_monopoly which has tor years been enriching its at the ex- pense of the public. Let the business be done above board. 1f the gas company is repentent, and wants the privilege of furmishing the city with fi;us at rat which should have been voluntarily es- tablished years ago, then let 1t say so openly. ‘There is & wrong look about the whole procecdings, and a fresh start had better be taken.

The past policy ot the company does not com- mend it to confidence when matters of public interests are concerned. 1ts re- quests for further rights should therefore pe looked upon with cauntion, even if there is a thin coating of sugar, in the form of a hittle reduction of price. There will have to be & good many such reduc- tions before the fair price is reached. —~— The Municioal Money.
