SYNDICATE. Fatal Land Slide. An accident occurred yesterday morn- ing at the corner of Fifth and Glen ave- nues by which one life was lost and others momentarily jeopardized. A man numed Robert B, Martin was the victim of the disaster. Coroner Faul was immediately summoned and proceeded to empanel a jury. The body was ordered removed to the undertaking rooms of Morgan, Keller & Co., the patrol wagon, which was early upon the scene, serving as a means of conveyance. The facts regarding the sad affair may best be learned from the testimony of eye witnesses, which is here given as brought out at the inquest: Jess Lifer, with two other men, was helping deceased load a wagon with dirt, when almost without warning the bnnk caved, and before he could get out was knocked under the horses and partially buried by the falling mass. Helpea ex- cavate the body, which was about two and one-hali feet under the surface, with the neck across the tire ot the rear wugon wheel. F. O. Gleason—Arrived just after the accident and assisted in excavating the body, which was buried to the depth of two or three feet, with neck across the tire. Hadn't noticed the bank pre- viously. The location was Fifth avenue, in the street. Jess Lifer, Recalled—At the time of the accident, was working for John Kelley, who was a few rods away. John Kelley—Was near by when the accident occurred. Am always very careful avout the bank, and didn’t think there was any danger. Do not know the deceased, Came to me about an hour previously and wanted a job. Told him to take a shovel and goto work. Con- sidered him sober. The jury then retired and shortly re- turned a verdict in accordance with the testimony. Martin was a married man about thirty-tive years of age and lived with his wife at 613 Tenth avenue. He had been a resident here since last April, coming here from Plattsmouth, and worked for some time at his trade, painting, for D. S. Brenneman, Attorney Ewing, brother-in-law of the deceased, w. fied of the event, as was also Mr Stewart, of Flint, Mich., the fath Mrs. Martin, who started last night for this ci The funeral will be postponed until his arrival, No blame was attached to any one, but the neea of increased vigilance and extra precautions on the part of those having such work in charge, is very cvi- dent to everyone ————— A Successful Syndicate. Ihe forty acres formerly known as the k. C. tract, and later put into the Om. addition, has been owned by a syndicate, which, by its trustee, has sold off a goodly portion of it. The unsold lots, together with the cash and notes, were divided up yesterday among the individual mem- bers now owning an interest. Those who were in at the finish were J. C. Shriver of Omaha, N. Merriam of Hime- baugh & Merriam, Sumuel Haas, H. W. Tilton and S. Saunders & Son. There has been a wonderful advan the value of this property since the original sgmlmntn was formed., Two years ago there was no activity in this property at all, with a market value of perhaps $100 an acre, with no one wanting to buy. The original syndicate bought it at §200 an acre, and the newspapers of this city, with the exception of the BEER, were slow to believe that it was not a mere bit of wind, The investors were satistied, and the property began at once to advance, and rapidly. Some of the original owners sold out their interests at double what they paid, and others sold at $500 an acre. 1t was platted, and lots have been selling rapidly from $250 upwards. ‘Those who have bought lots have been fortunate also, for these lots are sure to double in & much shorter time than such a profit could be realized y ordinary investment. The closing di P! d a sausfactory one to the syndicate, who have made a handsowe return on their investment thus far. The history of all syndicates here has not been so satisfactory. There are some which embraced so many individuals as to render settiements and handling rather difficult, and many who went into such combinations during the ‘Wining camp excitengent which prevailed in real estate circles last spring have tired of such complications and would giadly hold their property individually. The result of this syndicate shows that there are numerous chances in Council Bluffs to make money in real estate, and wise investors are quietly picking up property, feeling confident that the fu- ture prices are to bring back a handsome return for the money. SR L Wedded in the East, DOWLING—SAVAGE.—September 15, by the Rev. Father Manoney, Edward Dowl- ing to Nannie F. Savage, daughter ‘of Dr. Savage and nlece of the late well known Dr. Hogan, of 119 East Twelfth street. The above from the New York Herald is interesting to the many friends of Mr. Dowling, who was formerly in the dry goods business here, and for years was prominent in business circles. The woman whom he has thus won and wed is said to be a highly cultured woman, who has also the good fortune to possess an estate which reaches a half mllion dollars or more in value, Mr. Dowling has been very successful in his own busi- ness career, and the union is therefore in a double sense a joining of fortunes as well as of hearts.” The Council Bluffs friends join in the brightest of well wishes. e Another Silver Olty Chapter. R. M. Wilbur, of Sioux City, was yes- terday taken before Justice Schurz by Morshall Guanella on a warrant sworn out by Jacob Sims, attorney for J, B Farwell & Co., of Chicago, charging him with conspiracy with D. H. Woodman to commit a public offense. The conspiracy was to buy the stoek of goods of Burton & Woodman at Silver City, upon which Farwell & Co. held a mortgage. Wilbur's bond was fixed at #5300, which he fur- mshed, friends becoming his surety. Woodman's ease was transferred to Mills county, sometime since. —_— Great Oitles, The Epoch: Cities with 1,000,000 . habitants and upward have never been plentiful in any age of the world, and their number is very limited now. There are four such cities in Europe, three or four in Asia, and but one on this conti- nent, The doubt in regard to the num- ber in Asiu arises from the fact that it is difficult to determine whether the claim of Nanking to 1,000,000 inhabitants 1s correct or not. Assuming it, however, 10 be just, the rank of the very great cities of the world, based on thr census of 1880 and 1881, would stand as follows: London, 4,766,661; Paris. 2'269,023; Can- ton, 1,600,000; New York,1,206, lokio, 1,140,586; Berlin, 1,122,360; Vienna, 1,103,+ SR 15 TR AR AN AN T N I o Ao 5 U U TSSO B2 i B TP .1 TN 7 R 2 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: 'HURSDAY.

The round numbers given as represent- ing the three Chinese cities named have a very suspicious look, and perhaps they ought to thrown out of the account entirely. L‘erlnlnlly, Chinese or Japanese estimates or partial enumerations are not to be placed beside a properly taken cen- sus. A singular illustration of the folly of estimates was furnished by the case of Tokio, which was once believed to be the most ropuloua city in the world, and to huve 4,000,000 inhabitants. When a cen- sus came to be taken the population of the city was found to be as stated above, and this number 1ncludes the suburbs. The population of the city proper was but 811,510, In the flFures given for Vienna, the suburbs are also included. As London is not a city, in the proper sensc of the term, but an aggregation of municipalities, the popu- lation_given is that of the metropolitan and city police districts which cover a very large area, about twenty square miles. similar area about New York would take in all of Kings county, half of Queens, Westchester, and Richmond counties, as well as Jersey City, Newark, and numerous smaller “towns in Ne Jersey, with an aggregate population al the last census of at least 2,250,000, and, of course, & much larger population now, — Living Inhabitants of Caverns. October Seribner: The hiving inhabi- tants of caverns, those which make these regions of continuous darkness their abiding places, are numerous and of the greatest interest to the naturalist. Of the several hundred species known to students, by far the greater part belong to the group of articulated animals, in- sects, and crustaceans, these being the forms which, of all animals, are the most varied in stracture and best suited for the odd chances of life which the caverns afford. As ‘the reader knows, the great problem now before science is to determine how far the shapes of living creatures are determined by the circum- stances of the world about them, and how far this determination has been brought about through a process of selec- tion, in a natural way, of those varieties which have some accidental special fitness for the conditions 1n_which they live. Cavern-animals afford us a capital bit of evidence toward the solution of this problem. The prévailing close aftinity of their forms with those which live n the upper world of sunshine and changing seasons shows, beyond a question, that they are all derived from similar forms which once dwelt in the ordinary condi- tions of unimal life. What, then, are the effects arising from the complete change in the circumstances of these under- ground creatures? The facts are pervlexin 1ety, and by no means we but the following points m to be well established, viz: There is a manifest tendency of all gayly colored forms to lose their hues 1n the caverns and to be- come of an even color. This may be ex- piained by the simple absence of sun- shine, and on it no conclusions 1 be based.
