He was employed in a market opposite the Methodist church on Broadway. On Tuesday even- ing he was butchering a cow. The ani- mal kicked a spike in the floor, used to tie animals before killing. The spike flew and hit Koenig, penetrating into his bowels. He was at once cared for, but the injury proved to be a fatal one, death ensuing yesterday afternoon. Koenig was a comparative stranger here. On his person was found $13.60 in cash and o bank book showing $75 to_his credit in the Nebraska City bank. No one here seems to know anything about his rela- tives or his previous history. has beea sent to Nebraska { ty for such information as can be ained there. The excursion steamer and barge John M.

Metcalfe was the com- plainant. He charged them with steal- ing a large number of chips, which had been used in gambling. The boys claimed that they had paid good money for the chips, and when they came to cash them they could not get the wealth. They held to the chips. While Metealfe was out getting his witnesses, Colonel l)mlix as prosecuting attorney, learned this from informal inquiry, and ordercd the fellows discharged without any hear- ing. Metealfe returned just as the fel- lows walked out. He was hot, but that was all the good it did him. The prose- cuting attorney said he did not propose to put expense upon the county by try- ing such a case. Regatta Place lots sell betigr than any other.

Abbott bave had one experience with Council Bluffs carry-alls, They think this will suftice. They say that owing to the dif- ficulties of getting conveyances to carry passengers to the river where the boat lies, they will probably arrange differs ently for the next excursion from here up the river. They will probably ar- rango to take passengers over the river on the dummy train and from there go up the river by boat, s they can provide for the excursionists cheapér and more satisfactorily. The managers of this boat are plan- ning on an excursion for the benefit of the Fifth regiment band, the date to be very soon, The “m"flbi\'l'-“ join in the general desire to give the band a practi- cal and generous nuprurt, and to this end make this tender of the use of their boat.

A Passenger Uar Completes a 4,000 Mile Trip Without a Drop of Oll— The Regatta Lot Sale—Colored Citizens Hurrah For Freedom. Fighting For Fees. In the superior court yesterday the time wus taken up in the trial of the case of Justice N. Schurz against the county. The justice presented to the county board his usual fee bills for crimi- nal cases, and tlre eounty attorney, Calonel Daily, went through them with an economical eye, lopping off various items which he deemed in excess. The board on his report offered the justice a warrant for a portion of his bill, but re- fused to pay the portion which the county attorney had cut out. Hence the suit. There were numerous items in the jus- tice bills which the county attorney re- fused to audit. Most of these items con- sisted opees charged for continuances and for bonds. The justice has fre- quently granted a continuance, for in- stance, when a defendant is brought in during the forenoon, setting the case at 2 o'clock in th afternoon of the same day. lIn such cases the justice has charged” up 50 cents for a continuance. “To this the county attorney objects. The justice could not remember 1n each ¢ y whose request such continunnce was granted, or whether by his own motion, on account of s having other business to take his attention. The county re- gists numerous items of 50 cents each for bonds filed. The county attorney in some of these cases fails to find any such bor:d among the papers, and although the docket shows the charge being made for a bond, the county attorney ridicules the idea of a bond ever having been filed in some of the cases, especially where :ndants were charged with vagrancy. On the other hand the justice explains that when a defendant is given a contin- uance, it 18 quite frequently the case that the justice makes out both a bond and a commitment. These he places in the hands of the officer, and 1if the defendant furmshes the bond, good and well. If not, the oflicer uses the commitment and takes the fellow to juil. Instead of charging up both bond and commituent the justice charged up the bond, although sometimes the bond was not given but acommitment instead ‘T'he justice thought it was as long as it was broad, whether he charged the fifty cents up for the bond or for the commit- meng. The county, in his opinion, saved by his charging only for the bond, for if committed then e was entitled to another fee for issuing an order to have the defendent produced in court again, Colonel Daily seems to be bent on rattling Justice Schurz, and his cross examination was very sharp and irritat- ing. The justice kept pretty good na- tured through it all, but the Tying be- tween the two gentlemen caused no little amusement to the listeners. REVOLUTIONIZ] RAILROADING An Invention Which Does Away With Oll, and No More Hot Boxes, A passenger car came in yesterday over the Rock lsland, which caused a genuine wave of excitement to sweep through the yards. Ihis car has just completed 4,000 miles of running, and the journals have never had a drop of oil. *'T'his means a revolution in rail- roading,” remarked one proment ofli- cial, and the sentiment was generally en- dorsed By those who examined the car. Thocar went out on No. 2 last evening, and will now make regular trips in and out of this city. The pcculiarity of the car is in the journal, which does away with ~all need of oil, avoids all hot boxes, and is a wonderful saving in repairs and in motivurowur. While ordinarily it takes 550 to 700 pounds to start a pas- senger coach, fifty pounds will start this, One man easily started it and pushed it about at will. The journal is surrounded and rests upon six rollel each of which is 3t inches in diameter and ten inches long. Through the cen- ter of eachis a pin three-fourths of an inch in dinmeter, around which revolves seven rollers one half inch in diameter. The journal box therefore consists of a collection of rollers each of which en- closes still smaller rollers, the whole re- volving independently and yet together about & common center. ‘The slight Iateral motion of the axle 1s still further provided for by the ingenious device of a steel ball in o groove at tke cap of the axle box.

Sharpneck, of Denver, was here yesterday and now leaves for Denver where he is to equip the special ear for President Strong, of Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fo rail- The prediction is made that that nvention will realize for him more han has been made in railrond- 5 he Rock Island preparing to have a whole train eq wmd at once with these journals, as the car which reached here yesterday shows so httle marks of its 4,000 miles of travel without & drop of 'l of any kind. - ‘What's In a Band Name. Colone stle. of the Fifth regiment Towa guards, hastens into print with a very earnast protest against the band of this city being called the Fifth Regiment band. He takes it for graanted that the band is at fault for having this name, and that it necessarily follows that it is an attempt to make the public believe that it is his regimental band. Although there be more than one Fifth regi- ment in the world, still the colonel is probably correet in assuming that there is a general understanding that this band is, or1s to be, the regimental band of the Fifth Iowa regiment. The band boys have had a good deal of an- noyance of late, more trouble than us- ually attends even a new organization likothis. As they are gentlemen with nd as they shown worthy of support and encouragement, the public has a great deal of sympathy for them. The troubles have not been of their own bring- ing. It isclaimed thattheskipping drum major, who cansed them so much trouble, was introduced by Captain Messimer, of the Dodge Light fiunnls. an officer of the Fifth regiment. The boys feel that this representative of the Fifth regiment was as much responsible for their having this fellow for a drum major as any one per- son. Then the taking of the title of the Fifth regiment band is said to not have been at the instance of the band. Their by-laws show that the name of the band was left blank, with the expectation that they would adopt a name afterwards. ‘The band claims to have been assured by Captain Messimer that they would be chosen as the Fifth regiment band and that they would be mustered in on the Fourth of July, The name was gi them, rather than they adooting it, and instead of protesting against this usage, the band, feeling contident from the assurances given them that they would soon kp formally mustered in as such, rather acquiesced, ~They after- wards learned that the Fifth regiment had a band at Bedford, but learned that it was practically disorganized. The as- surance was given that this bana was te ! THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY. AUGUST 4. 1887 “ranged for a great c drop out, and that the band here would then be mustered in, Thus the matter has drifted along. In the meantime it was learned that the Bedford band, on hearing of the organization here, had taken a fresh hold, got new uniforms, and started in with fresh enthusiasm to make a first class organization of itself. These are about the circumstances as told by the band boys. Now the colonel of the regiment comes out with a letter declaring thatthe Carbee affair was a mer- ited digrace to thisband. It is probabie that the band boys were too ready to listen to the assurances ot others, who claimed to represent the wishes of the colonel and of the regiment. It woula have been better had they not acted on these assurances, but had waited until they were actually mustered in, but the name was virtually forced upon them and put into general use, and they ac- cepted the situation. 1f any of the offi- cers or members of his regiment were re- sponsible for the name b(-,lnfi given the band, the colonel should not be in such a hurry to slur the band as he did. The band does not deserve any such hasty chastisement. It looks as if the colonel was not satisfied with Carbee getting all the free advertisement which the career of the drum major has caused. The band will adopt some other name and will ex- plain fully to the Bedford band in cue time, It'will also give the colonel the details of how the name was thrust upon them. il Auction Sale of Lots. There was quite a large attendance yes- terda’y afternoon at the auction sale of lots at Regatta place. These lots are on Lake Manawa, near the boat house. The Jots were sold at prices ranging from $65 to $05. They are fifty feet front. A goodly number w sold and the few remaining will be closed out at uuction this after- noon at 5 o'clock. ——— Emancipation Day, The colored folks of this city have ar- hration to-day and expect a large number from Omaha to participate with them in observing the anniversary of the great Hayti nanci- pation.

MACEDONIA, Ta,, August 8.—The citi- zens of this town met July 30 at the C. P. church, in called meeting, for the pur- pose of taking action on the affair that had taken place in the Botna Valley News office Jast week, when three indig- nant young ladies horse-whipped the edi- tor, W. E. Thresher. The committce on resolutions adopted the following, which were endorsed and carried by unanimous vote: PREAMBLE. Whereas, We, the law abiding citizens of Macedonia_and vicinity, feeling deeply the disgrace and indignity created by a recent Iawless attack upon a worthy citizen, do re- solve as follows: 1.

Resolved, That we regard the recent at- tack upon W. resher by the parties con- cerned, as unladylike in its character and unwarranted in fact, and we cannot believe th the parties enczaged would have been guilty of such an act of mob violence with- out encouragement from highly excited or ould denounce the at al to blacken the the cl P citizen, vet we commend the independent course pursued by the Botna Valley News under the manage- ment of W, E.

T'iE CoMMITTE By H. T. ToMa Secretary. Don't fail to attend the lot sale to-day at Lake Manaw Terms one-fourth cash, ——— A Druinmer’s Baseball Story. Chicago Mail: *“Up in Dakota last k,” said a commerciai traveler, “'I saw the queerest game of baseball that was ever played. All the players were blind; yes, sir, blind as an eyeless bat. Of course, you don't believe it. 1 didn’t believe it oither till I saw 'em play. How did they do it? Just like any other play- ers, with the exception that they use ball especially prepared for the occasion. Through this basebull there was a hole, and 1n the hole there was a little concern like that which you see in a harmonica. On the home plate there was a little bell, which the umpire rang by pulling a string just before the pitcher fired a ball. Judging on the position of the base by the sound of the bell, the pitcher put the ball right where it ought to be. “*As the ball sailed toward the batsman the air rushing through the hole in it played a little tune, and it was by this sound that ti® batsman made his strike. It was the same with the fielders. Where- ever the ball went it was singing its lit- tle tune, and the sound was all the pla; had to judge by. Handle the ball? W ell, 1 should say thoy could, They played a tine game, and I tell you that "the music of the ball whizzing and soaring about the field, and those blind fellows ing and throwing it just as f the see, made a scene never to be forgotten, The members of these blind nines. were all inmates of a Dakota blind asylum,but if they can make proper arrangements they are going on the road as an exhibi- uon. They'll draw 1mmense crowds, too.”" —_—— A Gambler Who Didn't Bluff. Chicago Enterprise, July 27: The habitues of a saloon on Muin street were treated to a lively little game of poker last night, at which pistols turned trumps. A few nights ago a stranger and & young gambler around town kuown as “‘Steve, the Kid.” were play- ing cards, They had some misunder- standing and the stranger got away with the pot. Steve swore that the first time he caught the other man playing he would grab stakes. So he awaited his time, and last evening saw his opponent engaged in the fascinating game with a large stock of money beforé#him. Steve walked up to the tabie, grabbed the money, put it into his pocket and started to leave, ‘“‘Steye, come back,” called the stranger. The kid turncd around and looked down the muzzle of a six- shooter, He started to draw, butthe stranger told him that the slightest move- ment of that kind would send him to “kingdom come.”” All he wanted was the kid to replace those ‘‘chips’’ in ex- actly one minute's time, which was done. The other players came out from under the table and in from the street, und the game proceeded without further inter ruption. —— Astonishing Coin Columbus Democrat: While enjoying the hospitality of Mr. D.
