C11icAGO, Sept. 28, —[Special Telegram to the Bre.|—Ata meeting of the recently re- formed board of county commissioners this aftertipont President Aldrich proposed a code of eiv!l service rules for the adininistration ot the county government which would smash the existing political machines to splinters and gives a lite tenure to the present incum- bents of subordinate oftices if they continue to honestly discharge their duties. The scheme provides for the establishment of a civil servica commission which will be equally divided between the two political parties. Provision will be made by the commission for a competitive exami- navion of applicants for office and the pro- motlons for merit or senlority in office. All obligations on the part of .?pumueu to con- tribute to political funds will be removed. A board of examiners to test the fitness of lg— pileants for ofice will be appointed. The main feature is that no ofticer, clerk or other s:lson employed 1n any department shall dischai from “office on accoumt of his political oglnlonl, and punishments are provided for Infringment of any of the provisions before mentioned. The strongest rules are those drawn up for the purpose of doing away with the system of blackmnall for the swelling of political funds hitherto worked by heads of departments or their subordinates, 1t {s thought that the board will adopt the rules. The same set was in- troduced at the city council meeting to-night for oll{ wovernment und were referred to a committee. —_— A Negro Murdered at St. Joc. 81, Joskru, Mo., Sept. 26—[Special Tele- gram to the Bek.]—Thornton Dike and Willlam McCormick, both negroes, became Involved in a quarrel to-day In the alley at the rear of the custoin house.

Natural Gas Produces a Rig Boom, HERNDON, [a,, Sept. 24—{3pecial to the Beg.|—1t is doubtful it any town in lowa ever had such a hoom as Herndon isnow having. Itis all on account of the natural gasfound here. Ten wells have been bored and in every case the gaswas found ata depth of frow 115 to 130 feet. The pressure is variously estimated at from 20 to 70 pounds to thesquareinch. The tierndon Natural Gas and Land company have secured 820 acres for a town site. They are men of wealth and experience and are using every effort to boom the new town. Quite a number of business firms have been induced to locate hore and at least three manufacturing estab- lishments have been secured, viz. : large foundry and machine shop that will run en- llrel{ by natural gas for heat and power; a vlaning mill and a broom factory. =Nezotia- tions are now going on with several others, 1t is thought the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul company will build repair Ahops here. terndon is located in the northeast corner of Guthrie eounty, 110 miles from Couneil Bluffs and nfty-two mil rom Des Moines, it the Junction ot the Wabash Western and the Chica:o, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroads, on a perfectly level prairie in a rich farming country, and there is no town within fifteen miles in either direstion lut!zl Panoe, twelve mites southeast. ‘I'hree weeks ago thie popu- lation of Herndon was less than fifty, while now it must be 200, Two families are al- ready using the gas for ecooking, l‘lfmlng and heating their houses, ‘The Land com- pany display the l.'u in their oflice in a grand shape.

The New York Veteran Firemen's Train Wrecked in Misso Hotpex, No., Sept. 26.—A. fearful rallrond accident occurred here on the switch north of Bluhm's elevator, by which two persons lost their lives, ‘The special excursion train of elzht coaches, carrying the New York vereran firemen on their return home from their recent visit to San Francisco, was pass- ing eastward at a rapid speed, when it sud- denly turned.on a switch which had been left open through the carelessness of Yardmaster George Tutthill, The train there collided with a freight standing on the side-track, waiting for the excursion to pass. The freight engine and tender ware completely demolished, and the passenger engine, ten- der and baggage car were badly wrecked. James Reed and William Rainsey, two negroes living at Warrensburg, who were beating their way home from Kansas City, on the. front end of the bagzage car, were instantly killed. Their bodies were horribly mangled, almost beyond resvznition. ‘The veteran firemen showed skill wnd experiance as experts in gathering up the remains of the bodies and in restoring order in the choas of the wreck, Several of the regular passen- gers were bruised lightly injured. —_— AMUSEMENTS, Mr. and Mrs. W.J. Florence Appear in Our Governor. Pinto Porkins, the character assumed by W. J. Florence in ‘‘Our Governor." is an exaggerated type of American character, more pronounced even than that of Bardwell Slote. In the earlier years of our national history there have been legislators who justified the travesty outlined by Mr. Florence. But such a man as Pinto Perkins never existed. Pinto, no matter how much soever Mr. Klorence may endeavor to show that he is a victim of habit, of mental oblivious. ness,1s & prevaricator of adamantine dens- ity. He is such an one of whom it has been said that even Omaipotence coutd not enlarge his Iying mouth without eut- ting off his ears. Aside from Pinto's tendency to exaggerate, which is but another word for lying, Mr. Florence's interpretation of the character is schol- arly and artistic. It s dignified with the rarest touches of pathos and comedy, although it shows, at the same time, both Rreuanue of mind and intelligence when o rushes in and happily prevents the disintegration of a gonng couple who ought to be, as husband and wife, as happy as mortals can be under the cir- cumstances. The first act last night pro- voked but little enthusinsm among the auditors, All the performers, with the exception of the stars, were strangers. Stella Boniface, although dressing in some of the scenes with less taste than profuseness, and though handicapped in other ways, played Mrs. Kingsley in an excellent manner, despite the fact that the part of u female schemer is not vleasant to con- template. There is little difference be- tween the Miss Matilda Starr of Mrs. Florence and her Mrs. General Gilflory. Both are of the conventional order, and Miss Starr is less an English woman, even in exaggeration than . Galflory 18 an American. ‘To-night these worthy people, no mat- ter how rauch they may be oriticised in minor details, will receive the meed of a Iarge house in their play of *“The Flirt."

Easton, a gentleman of color, was arrested yesterday afternoon in Dago alley for his Ilizht? of oratory, while under the influence of budge. His objec- tion to be taken to the station was that he always gets robbed there. The threatening aspect of the sky last evening kept a good many gaembers of the board of education at home, and as a consequence there wasnot a quorum present at the proposed adjourned meet- ing. L S ‘Where the Cigar Got Its Name. Chicago Tribune: The origin of the word cigar is of some interest and is not to be found in the ordinary dictionaries. The worp, of oourse, is Spanish, and Littre in s French dictionary says that it is derived from cigarra, the Spanish name for grasshopper. When the Span- iards first_introduced tobaeco into from the island of Cuba in the sixteenth century, they cultivated the plantin their gardens, which in Spanmish are called les. Each grew his tobacco in garral and rolled it up for smoking as he had learned from the Indiuns in the West Indies. When one offored a smoke to friend he could say de mi cigar- rel”—it is from my garden. Soon the expression came to be: *‘Este cigarro es de m cigarrel”—this cigar is from my garden. And from this the word cigar spread over the world. The name ci- garral for garden comes from cigarra, a grashopper, that insect being very com- fhon in Spain, and cigarral meaning the place where the cigarra sings. [n this way the word cigar comes from cigarra, the name of the insect, not because it re- sembles the body of the grasshopper, but because it was grown in the place 1t frequents. ————— The Saff: ‘'rom Co'des. Philadelphia News: Dr, Boerhaave, a famous German physician, is quoted as having once said: “Only fools and beg~ gars suffer from the cold, the latter not being able to get suflicient clothes, and the others not naving the sense to wear them.” John Huuter, a celebrated English surgeon, gave three simple rules for the rearing of children, and they are just as applicable to adults. They are: “Flenty of sleep, plenty of milk and vlenty of flannel.”” Wiater will be along almost before we know it, and it is just as well to bear these wise sayings in mind. Walking through a great crowd this morning with a doctor, he pointed out some of the follies of children's dress. ‘“Hundreds of children die every year from lung disease, due to 1ignorance or negleet,” said he. “The legs and chests of children should not be unduly exposed tothe wind. Never wear wet or damp clothes one moment longer than possible. Never let wet stookings or shoes dry om you wunless you sare anxious to fill an uutimely grave TRIED T0. EILL HIS WIFE. A Jealous Negro Waiter Firas Three Shots With Muarderous Intent. ——— FIGHTING FH;NQN NEIGHBORS, o b A Gan Play Miit4 Bat No Harm Done—A Workman Orushed to Death~'An Insane Man'’s Wild Actd. b About 3:80 yesterday afternoon, James Reed, a negro waiter at the Paxton, liv- ing at 1110 Cass streot, attompted to mur- der his wife, firing at her with a revolver three or four times. He was perfectly sobor at the time, and admits that he was prompted by jealous motives. He has of late been charging his wife with unchastity, and Sunday evening he threated to stab her with a butcher kaife and wus only prevented from murdering her by neighbors disarming him. Yesterday, while his wifo was at a neighbors, he ordered her home, and on reaching the house he drew a revolver and told her he inteaded to kill her. She, however, never dreamed that he really meant to carry out his threat until he took deliborate aim at her and fired. Seeing her peril she rushed screaming into the street and ran into the residence of Mrs. Gillen across the way. Reed fol- lowed, firing at her three times, but for- tunately none of the balls took effect. Seeing” that she was still pursued she evaded him by slipping out of the back way into the residence of Mrs. Kinsey, next door, z Ufficer Newman was only a block away af the time the shots were fired and hur- ried up to the scene and attempted to ar- rest Reed. The would-be murderer at- tempted to escape, but after a lively chase of an block or two he was captured and lodged at the Central police station. ——— FIGHTING FRENCAMEN. Neighbors Introduced to Each Other With a Gocked Gun, Garneau, a Frenchman who lives at Fortieth and Niaton, has a neighbor named Charbonneau, another French- man, who lives about a block away. These men have known each other about a week. They never had any dispute or quarrel of any kiud, according to Gar- neau. About noon yesterday Charbon- neau filled up with gin and other things and went out to interview his country< man. He did it by np&nmnchmfi him with a cocked revolver and telling him to hold up his hands. Garneau was u?holslering a_ sofa in his {Dfll and did’t hold up his hands, ut. ran into the house to get his . own revolver so that the little < improptu affair could be made n¥dre incerautlng. The man with the gun foowed him into the house, and as Garpéau couldn’t get at s own revolver, in time he amicably held up his hands and called a truce. The weapon was lowered and u fist fight pro- posed. These littla civilities Garneau re- fused. His wife wis sick, and the wife of the man of gory' ntentions followed him into the house and proposed spiking the guns by wim}j‘r wing the charges from the revolver, on getting them out in some way. A hurried consultation was held and proposals abandoned. The man was forced away by his friends, and a warrant was issued for his arrest, He was captured by the police yesterday af- ternoon and locked Mp. LA CRUSHED TO DEATA.

The deceased 18 a Canadian by birth, and has no friends or relatives that are known of by anybody in Omaha, He will, however, receive a proper burial. DANGEROUS INSANITY, A Brief But Exciting Orazy Fit of a Negro, Knut Nelson, of 2304 Davenport street, was taken with a strange temporary fit of 1nsanity yesterday. He was in Duke’s hardwarestore about 11 o’clock, when it was first noticed. He had asked for a spade and picking one out threw it over his shoulder and started to walk out with it. He was reminded by the clerk that he had not yet paid for it, when he turned furiously on the salesman and attempted to brain him with the spade. The other persons in the store rushed to the clerk’s assistance, whereupon Nelson threatened to kill the whole outfit. A policeman was called, and after a desperate strugale Nelson was captured and tuken to the central police station. Here he was ex- amined by Dr. Ralph, pronounced in- sane, and ordered sent to the county jail, where he could be more properly cared for. After being removed to the juil he began to stop raving, and after a while acted so rationally that medical help was again summoned and a second examina- tion resulted 1n his discharge as a per- jectly sane man, He was not intoxicated at the time, and has no remembrance of of the events that transpired during his brief lunacy. RAILROAD NEWS, Does the U. P. Road Want a Line to Chicago? An old rumor has again taken wings and is flying around to the effect that an arrangement 18 fo be effected by which the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road is to entar Omaha by way ot the Uniou Pacific bridge, and the Union Pacific is to run s trains direct to Chicago over the former road. Therais a color of plaus. 1bility in the theory’ that the Union Pa- cific ought to haye) a direct line to Chicago, especially'as the Northern Pa- cific and Santa Fe, hoph rivals, are build- ing to that point from St. Paul and Kan- sas City, respectivelyl Mr. Dekenson, who was spoken g about tho matter, said that he knew nothing of the cons summation of suchaproject, but hoped that something of the kind would be done. Mr. Kimball saidtho story was for- warded probably upon the negotiations which were pending some time ago, by which the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul sought to gain entrance to Omaha over the Union Pacitic bridge. With the facts premised above, however, he thought it was all theory and conjecture. Speaking of the atter another rail- road man said the idea was visionary. ‘The privilege of the Milwaukee road to enter Omaha over the Union Pacific pridge would in no way compensate it for the use of 500 wiles of its track to Chicago by the Union Pacific. As a con- sequence, the latter would be compelled to pay an enormous trackage, which would be more than the interest on the construction of a line. *I wonld rather believe said the same gentleman, ‘“‘that if ul:‘vthinu of the kind is vontemplated, the DAY. SEPTEMBER 27. 1887 Union Pacific will see that it will be to its interest to build a line of its own to the lake metropolis. The Union Pacitic cannot contract its freight to Chicago to that degree as to send it over one line. The shipper can order his freight east- ward from Omaha by any of the lowa lines, no matter how much soever the Union Pacific might desire to throw it to the Milwaukee." Mr. Kimball was again seen and asked if the fact of the Northern and the South- ern Pacifies making a line into Chicago would not give them an advantage over the Union Pacific. He replied: “Not if the lines running eastward from here give the same facilities to the Union Pa- cific that the other Pacific lines expect to receive from their extension.” Such fa- cilities, he thought, the Union Pacific now enjoyed. THE UNION PACIFIO CLAIM DEPARTMENT. It isepretty well understood by some people that there 18 & change to be made about October 1 in the claim department of the Union Pacific. This department now filvun emiployment to between thirty and forty clerks, who are the remnant caused by some ot Mr. Potter’s reduc- tions in the force. Their duty is that of attending, under aunerflulon. to the overcharges which take place frequently all along the line. Over them is & head clerk, who is accountable to Freight Auditor Van Kuran. _ Until recently branches of this claim department were located in San Francisco, Denver, Salt Lake and Kansas City, their dm{ being to attend to the overcharges in those places. These branches have been abolished and their work is now being done by the freight representatives at those pointe. ‘This has resulted in a cutting down of about fifteen men. As a consequence a ood deal of the work untimshed by them has been sent to Mr. VanKuran's office and some of it is still in hand. When that is finished it is quite likely that there will be a letting out of some clerks 1n the department here and then a transfer of the work of the office to the superintendency of the freight depart- ment, which will of course bring it under the direction of Mr. Monroe. A BEE reporter spoke to Mr. VanKuran about the matter yesterday, but he said he had not yet been made aware of the proposed change, Mr, Kimball said that there were two ways of running claims departments. One was as the Union Pacitic had been mnnin;fi| its claims, as outlined above. The other was placing them 1n the charge of the freight ment, a feature which now receiving some consideration from the Union Pacific people. lt- was such a system now obtained on the Bur- lington and he thought in this respect, Mr. Potter favored the Burlington sys- tem, There is little reason to doubt, there- fore, that on or about the time mentioned above, the change above refeired to, will be made.
