THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7. 1888, SIGHTS ON BUILDING SITES. The Architects Busy on Plans and the Contractors Smiling. THE DOINGS OF THE COURTS, The District and Superior Courts Find Plenty to Do—A Family Circle Badly Shaken—Personal Mention. Learning By Experience. To the Editor of the BEE: A man went to Chicago and sold his cattle at $8.85, after wanting $4.00 for them here at home. When he lett home he thought he had some of the very finest stock, but on arriving in Chicago he found that his cattle, which had beerwthe best in his neighborhood,came in competition with thousands of cattle from all points of the compass. He soon saw that having the best cattle at home and the best cattle on the market were very different things. There is a great difference be- twecn having the best stock in the neighborhood and having the best in the whole country, or the best in a half dozen different states. When the mar- ket goes up the shippers rush out and fall over each other scaring the farmers nearly to death and running prices clear up. Then they get into the market just in time to sec the prices godown on Such are the lessons which nine- teen out of every twenty livestock man as well as farmers have to learn by ex- perience. ONE OF THEM, —— The Spring Boom. It seems that the time is fast drawing near for the beginning of the building boom expected to open this spring. There are numerous plans being drawn and arrangements being made, and on all sides are indications of renewed activity. Many of the plans are not rveady® for announcement, for some of the details have not been de- cided upon, and hence not to be looked upon as so certain as they will be when the contracts are signed. Still there are so many that even if a number of them should fall by the wayside there will then be enough to make a great showing for this year, Tne lumber dealers are preparing themselves for larger sales than ecver marked a previous season. They are showing their confidence by investing their money in large stocks. The build- ers and contravtors ave arranging for a rush of business. The architects are already having about all they can do. Allen & Bell have orders for plans for buildings amounting to $200,000. It is quite certain that Dr. Macrae will proceed ut once to build the flats for which he has lately had plans drawn. These will be ten in number, and will be on his residence property, corner of Fifth avenue and Eighth strect. There will be two on the avenue,and the others on the strect. At the corner will be a driveway leading to a neat little p: in the rear. Cole & Cole are planning on building upon their property on Brondway, just below the new government building. They have some offers for the property, and unless present negotiations take it out of their hands, they will improve it by a handsome business building. If those talking of buying it get it, they will build, so that it is pretty certain that there will be a goodguildingfllcre. E. Nathan Merriam, of Omaha, issaid to be completing his arrangements for putting up a fine office building opposite the opera house, on property purchased by him last year. e expects to have it cost $65,000. The decision in regard to the character of the building depends somewhat upon the nature of other buildings now contemplated. Mr. Merriam also owns the Catholi¢ church property, and has given notice to the church folks to remove their old build- ings from this. There is talk of using this for a new hotel site, it having o frontage on three streets, and being lo- cated at the corner of Bayliss park, and within easy reach of the present depots, and of the probable site of the union de- pot. If arrangements now being planned can be completed it will doubtless not be long before the citizens will be given an opportunity to show how badly they want a $150,000 hotel. It is believed a bonus of 825,000 can readily be secured for this purpose. With the numerous stores and offices which could be rented in connection with such a hotel, the rev- enue would ensure the investment as a profitable one. The proposition of the Pacific house syndicate is still under consideration. There are numerous objections to giv- ing the suggested amount as a bonus, but at the same time there are enthusi- astic advocates of the move. It is be- lieved that some arrangement will be reached by which the proposed block can be built, and if this is done it will cause one of the leading hotel sites to be withdrawn from consideration. The board of trade is to consider the matter at the meeting to-morrow night. The gentlemen owning the Pacific house property are in earnest, and they do nmnot appeal to the public for charity, but make their propositions simply s o matter of business, leaving itizens or the board of trade to accept as seemeth best. no little agitation in real es. There are many rumors afloat, and much quiet tiguring. These are the indications of an early outbreak of actual sales. There is a big deal on foot in Rice & Van Brunt's addition, and another in Curtis & Ramsey’s. In fact, the outlook for an early boom of both brick and dirt are cheery. The arrangements are being made for an eurlfy opening of the motor line. There has n 80 much said about this that the public hardly knows what to accept, but the assurance is now given that the new management will make this a lively season. New motors have been ordered, the crossings are ex- pected to arrive soon, and at the earliest possible moment that the weather will permit the work will be completed. Already arrangements are being made for a fixing of rates for the season. The policy is to be to make as cheap rates as possible for the railways and the boats, 80 as to secure as large crowds at Lake Manawa as possible this season. The vrediction is made that the crowds of previous seasons will be nothing as com- pared with the rush this year, — S. B. Wadsworth & Co. loan money. s Crumbs From Court. At the opening of the district court yesterday morning, the resolutions adopted at the meeting of the bar asso- ciation Saturday afternoon were pre- sented and the court affixed his signa- ture. The hearing of the arguments in the motion for a new trial in the case of State vs, Whitmer was assigned for Wednesday evening, The divorce guit of Voight vs. Voight on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment and habitual drunkenness,was argued’ and presented to the court by G.A. Holmes, attorney for the plain- tiff, and taken under consideration. The plaintiff d@sks for alimony and the custody of the children. The afternoon was taken up with the Citizens Savings bank vs. A. B. Walker and F. J. Evans, sureties on the note of Charles A, Hendrie, deceased. All the criminal cases in which the defendant is under arrest have now been disposed of with the exception of three. Two of these have already been tried—one resulting in conviction and motion for a new trial now pending, and in the other the jury disagreed. The third is that of Scheisler, and eannot be tried before Judge Thornell, as he was prosecuting attorney at the time of the commission of the crime and brought up the indictment. The grand jury was dismissed until Monday morning, Feb- ruary 13, at 9 o'clock. et - S Superior Reading. The February term of the superior court convened yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock.

The reportof the city engineer grant- ing a conditional right to Matilda Burg- haiser to construet a brick building over the Powers ditch was read and con- curred in by the council. Bills for the current expenses of the city were read and audited. The bill of the Richmond Fire Alarm company for six extra boxes, not embraced in the original contract, amounting to $510, was laid over until next meeting. Alderman Lacy declared he would not vote for the bill, and on occount: of the absence of aldermen not enough were present to pass it without his vote. The bill of J. W. & E. L. Squire, $490, for furnishing names for purposes of taxation, was read and on motion referred. The bill of the Electric Light and Power company amounting to $743.95, total to date (exclusive of a discount of 1% per cent for failures) was referred. Also that of the Vapor and Gas Light company, 8116.40, it being larger than previous bills for equal time. A resolution was adopted granting to the Omaha and Council Bluffs Paving company intersecting paving bonds amounting to 81,161 in full for work completed as per contract. Petition of John C. Bassett was pre- sented. He states that the city has taken possession of his property amount- ing to 60x57 feet for Graham avenue without due process of condemnation. He asks pay for the same.

Petition of Thomas Bowman that as his property in Burns’ addition on Fourteenth street has been damaged by the change in the course of Indian creek, he wishes just remuneration. Referred. Petition of C. Deetken for reduction of tax on moneys and credits was re- ferred. Motion was passed to the effect that the marshal instruct Independent school district and R. L. Williams to proceed with grading within ten days, or the contractors will do it. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul officials ask that their detective, J. F. O'Connor, be appointed policeman without pay city. Same request from Rock Island for R. T. Mclntyre. Granted on condition that the proper bond be filed in each case. A resolution was introduced and adopted requiring property owners on Thirteenth street, from Broadway south to Third avenue, and south side of Ninth avenue to south side of Twelfth avenue by filling the same to grade. e A Domestic Cyclone. For the past few weeks there has been trouble in the family of John Hain- bright, a Union Pacific carpenter living on Tenth avenue, near the transfer. Theve is, or rather was, employed in the family a domestic by the name of Lutie Brailey, but on Saturday matters came to a head, and Lutie is now a fugitive from the police and Mrs. Hainbright. She was employed by Mr, Huinl to do the housework during his wife's absence on a visit to her parents at Thanksgiving. He was so well pleased with her that he wrote his wife to prolong her stay as long as she wished, Murs. H, became suspicious and made a speedy reéturn, She immediately ordered the girl out of the house, but the matter was finally patched up and she remained, The ady of the house became more and more convinced that matters were not as they should be, and on Saturday re- newed her demands for the girl's moval. The girl refused to go, and My Hainbright proeeeded to the marshal’s office to get the necessary papers. Chief Mullen repaired to the scéne in the pa- trol wagon, but the discordant element had vanished and could not be found. pe to Since that time domestic peace and fe- licity has been r?‘ red and everything is running smootK1§. If Lutie does not again appear to trouble the waters of conjugal happiness in this little family, it is probable that the last chapter of this story is already written. — The marvelous billiardist Schaeffer to-night. A Beautiful Window. While passing down Brondway yes- terday the reporter noticed a large crowd in front of the corner book store. The point of attraction was very soon seen. In one of the display windows was handsomely arranged novelties in stationery and general book stock, but the chief attraction was four pictures, elegantly framed. These were of the prospective residences of the Hon. George K. Wright, J. J. Steadman, Finley Burk, esq., and G. H. Moore. These are from the studio of Messrs. Allen & Bell, and are on display at the solicitation of many persons whose for- tune it was not to see them immediately after their complction. It is a beauti- ful window to be sure. ———— Schaeffer and Carter’s great billiard exhibition. il s Other Sinners Left. In the police court yesterday W. B. Mathews was finel $8.10 for drunken- ness. Frank Cooper was sent to the county jail for thirty days for vagrancy. J. Paulson was taxed $0.60 for getting full of liquid corn and kicking up a row. Charles Burghy and J. A. Hill claimed that they were not drunk, and their cases were continued until witnesses could be secured. During the afternoon they concluded to plead guilty and paid $7.60 each and were discharged. el i THE TELEGRAPHER'S RISE. The First Message That Ever Went Over a Wire. New York Times: Morse had pos- sessed himself of a little room in the east end of the capitol, and there, ab- stracted but active, the new attache of the postoftice department found him, a thin, spare, careworn, anxious man, in the midst of confusing heaps of wire and pots anp apparent debris. A con- gressional committee was on its way to see him and examine in practical oper- ation the machine which he had prom- ised would transmit intelligen mes- sages between points miles apart, The line which started toward Baltimore was built about five miles without the Washington limits, and the ‘“‘metallic circuit” (before the day of ground wires) was in working order. The committee came. The statesmen approached his instrument cautiously, as if suspecting that it might suddenly get into ex- ploding fit. But finaily they nged themselves as closgly as they daved be- side the animated electrician and awaited his experiments. “Now, gentlemen, what zhall we send over the wire?” ejaculated the old man. “Pick out your own message’and I'll show you how simple this whole thing is and how it accomplished everything that I've claimed.” The gentlemen were hardly ecting a challeage like this, but fi y con- gressional genuis asserted itself, and one of the party proposed that this start- lingly original information be flashed along: “Mr. Brown, of Indiana, is here,” * Prof. Morse bent over his instrument and pegged away. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick Went the electric tap- pings and then a moment later came the same rattling line of signals upon an adjoining machine—the indentation Morse register. The old man grabbed theslip of paper as it came released from the instrument, scanned it eagerly, and then, with the air of an cmperor whose crown is self- won, he thrust the fluttering white scrap forward, ‘*See!”—and he displaced another sheet on which his dot and dash sign manual appeared— “‘See! Take this for a guide and you'll find printed there the very words you asked transmitted.” The delegation did as directed, and sure enough they spelled out so the sen- sational goings on of ‘‘Mr. Brown of Indiana.” Converted? Those congressmen con- verted? Well, hardly. Thisis the rec- ollection of Mr. Kirk: ‘‘One of them hunched me and winked in a superior and knowing sort of way, while another whispered: ‘That’s what I call pretty thin!” and a third remarked right out loud: ‘It won’t do! That doesn’t prove anything.” Poor Morse'’s heart was al- most broken. His triumph was turned all to bitterness. Every one of his vis- itors went away more skeptical than ever.” Morse worked only the harder after his failure to convince the wise men from congress by the test of his five- mile loop. Day by day more poles were set and more Wi was stretched. and Annapolis Junction—half way to Balti- more—was just about reached when the whig national convention of May, 1844, opened in Baltimore. Here,at the sug- gestion of his friend, Mr. John W. Kirk, Morse saw opportunities beyond any that had couwe to him before. On the morning that the convention organized he was able by dint of work by night as well as by day, to get connection through to Annapalis Junction from his little Washington machine shop. He had placed a bright young fellow at the An- napolis Junction, and with instructions to get information of what the conven- tion had done just as soon as the after- noon Baltimore train arrived at the junction and telegraph it at once to Washington. Of course the capital was ina ferm every citizen was anxious for the from Baltimore; but till trai arrive from the seeme it was recognized that nothing could-be known. The earn- est old fellow spent that eventful after- noon all alone, save for the companion- ship of John Kirk. | Suddenly there came an animated clicking. He who was most interested bent forward asif intent on fairly con- suming the strip of paper that crept out from the register. There was almost agony in his face as, snail like, the paper halted and hesijated, spurted a little, stood still, made false starts and then spurted move, till—the message completed—Morse rose erect, looked proudly about hini, and said as grandly as though he were distributing king- doms: *Mr, Kirk, the convention has ad- journed, The train for WaShington has just left Annapolis junction. And the ticket’ sitated, holding final ¢ boyond all disputing ie ticket is Clay and Zing us,” was the quick retort he heard when' this was pre- claimed outside, “It's easy enough for you to guess that Clay is at’ the head of the ticket, but Frelinghuysen—who the devil is Frelinghuysen?” “I only know,’' was the answer, “that it is telegraphed me so from Annapolis Junction, where my or had the news five minutes ago the train that is bound this way bringing the delegates.” In those days the twenty miles from Annapolis Junction to Washington made up a trip of an hour'and a quarter for the exceptionally fusytruins, such as ] aignifiea | that which was bringing the whig dele- gates to Washington. Long before the journey was over the newspapers—en- terprising even in those days—had extras on the streets, and the newshoy was erying lustily the chronicle that Morse had caught flashing through twenty miles of air. A great crowd of people was at the station. The extras, with their babilistic legend *By Telegraph,” had whetted public (‘nr?n.-lt,v to the keenest edge. Outof the jammed train came the delegates piling, each anxious to be foremost in sending abroad to friends the inspiriting news that for- tune was with Harry of the West. And how dumbfounded they were, finding in very type before them the story they be- lieved exclusivély their own. How but by a miracle could the news have gained such headway? “By telegraph,” so they read in the headlines of the jour- nals, *‘By telegraph.” That pestiferous Morse! They had seen the wires stretch- ing along the track all the way from Annapolis Junction into Washington; they had seen it_and they had joked about it glibly. Phew! It was hard to realize. But—but—what can a man do when he can’t do anything? The doubters and scoffers became emthusias- tically dumb. [ — An Adventure in Patagonia. San_ Francisco dispatch to New York ‘World: Tommy Riordan, seaman of the steamer San Pedro, just arrived in port, is one of ten men lost by the ship Bal- aklava during a terrible storm off the const of Patugonin last summer. ‘He tells the following story of his expe- rience: “‘The Balaklava encountered very stormy weather before my compan- ious and myself were washed overboard. The sen had been running high for sev- eral days, but the day of the disrster it was running in long, heavy and power- ful swells, which, had theybeen higher, would have washed the vessel into kin- dling wood. It was growing dark and it was thought advisable to take in sail. Just as we were about to execute the command a he a washed over our vessel. I saw it coming, but it was too late to get outof danger, and I went down in the trough of the sea and must have been slightly stunned, for I don’t know how it happened. When [ came to I was holding on to a portion of the mast with all the strength there was in me. It is impossible for me to relate what I suffered in that cold water. “1 floated on the piece of wreck for two days and then I lost all conscious- ness. It is queor how I was washed ashore, but I was [lung up by the serf on the only decent portion of cons there is in Pategonia. When I re. fn\inud conscions a band of the most hideous-looking beings 1 ever saw were dancing around me. The men were giants in size and I could not tell whether they were cannibals or not. As I opened my s I tried to think where 1 was and what had happened. Shouts of joy were uttered by all, and two big bucks raised me up and carried me with ease a long distance into the interior over a miserable country to their camping ground “I was well guarded, and a council was held to see what should be done with me. Iimagined all the most hor- rible deaths and determined to escape, and I did that night. I still retain a little clasp knife that all sailors wear, but it was impossible for me to get at it On who watched others slept until ny hauds were liberated. guard were two big men me closely, while by the fire. I kept working my hands until they were free. One guard sat down and began to nod, and the other walked back and forth. When his back was turned I severed the chords which bound my fect and’then I was free for action. The snoring of the sleeping sentinel became louder and louder, and at last I folt satistied he was fast asieep. The next instant I was on my feet and creeping up slowly behind the other guard. “My left hand was on his throat and with my right I plunged my knife into his breast, and he fell over, a dead In- dian, without a struggle or uttering a cry.
