THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THUR A VERY CURIOUS ACCIDEN A Fleet-Winged Sparrow Knocks Out & Man's Eye. A BRACE OF DISAPPEARANCES. A New Iron Works to Be Established —Dr. Powell Reeves Bids Good Bye to Omaha—Other Interesting News. Ont on the Fly. Barton M. Mills, a traveling salesman in the employ of Johnson Reeves & Co., of Lynn, Mass,, met with a peculiar and pain- ful accident yesterday at the B. & M. depot. Mr. Mills alighted from a carriage at the entrance and proceeded to walk around the depot to go to the baggageroom. Just as he reached the southwest corner something struck him fairly in the eye. The shock knocked him down and the strange thing about it is that the cause of his mishap was an English sparrow. The bill of the bird penetrated the eyeball and the unfortunate man will lose the eye. Only one bystander can give anything like an explana- tion of this curious accident. He stated that he noticed two sparrows fighting on tho north side of the depot. Fin- ally one of them managed to get away, and turned to the northwest _corner, pursued by its enemy. Tho bird that strick Mr. Mills a8 pleked up dead, and ono of its eyos was closed, 80 it 18 evident that it 0id not seo the gentleman, as he was cloge to the wall, Mr. Mills was carried intoan adjacent drug store and a physician was Bummoned. The doctor advised ~his removal to a hotel, and Mr. Mills was taken, by his_own re- auest, to o friend’s house on South Ninteenth street. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE. R. L. Snodgrass and J. B. Torbert Missing. R. L. Snodgrass has been missing since Monday evening, and his family, who reside at 502 South Thirtecnth street, are almost crazed with anxiety and alarm. He left his office on Fifteenth street at 6 o'clock Monday evening for his home, and since that time notiing has been seen or heard of him. His friends can offer no theory as to the possible cause of his absence. amily, that of J. B. Torbert, re- siding on South Twelfth strcet, are similarly afflicted, Mr. Torbert also having mysterion ly disappeared, He has an estimable fami and for some time since they have been sori- ously apprehensive that he was not exactly right mentally. His actions were strange and unnatural, and he has on_several o sions threatened to end his_earthly trials by throwing himself into the river. So alarmed were his folks at these declarations, and focling that he meant what he said he was kept confined in his room for several days and a constant guard kept over him. However, he seemed to have grown better during tho latter part of last week, and_no hindrance was offered his movements, Sun- day night he left the house with the remark that he would return shortly,but nothing has been heard of him. since, His family think that he has carried out his rash designs, and thrown himself into the river, A thorough search of the river's shore failed to turn up any clue to this effect, yet they arc firm in the belief that he has' thus made way with himself. Torbert is a taxidermist, and for years was an_attahche of the Smithsoniun Institute at Washington, A NEW MUSIC HOME. Max Meyer's New Hall Dedicated to the Art. The new Meyer music hall in Paxton building, corner of Farnam and Sixteenth street was informally opened by & concert with Miss Bella Robiuson df Coun- cil Blufts as pianist, and Miss Barbara Mer- kel of the same place as vocalist.

It is provided with a mov- able platform which may _ sct as required for solo, orchestral or chorus work.

PEOPLES Monager Henry Parrish has secured one of the best vaudeville companics for a week's eugagement ever seen in this city, The opening performance last night was wit nessed by an audience that filled the house. Every act was eucored by the enthusiastic Bpectators. et Mammoth Potatoes, . Mr, George W. Lower, & salesman for B. Rosenthal, of this city, has a’ farm I Holt pounty, Nebraska, eight and cac-half miles ‘The music treat in north of Ewing. Yesterddy Mr. Lower brought to the Ber office two mammoth Irish potatoes as satples of the excellence of that section for vegetable growing. Oné of these wasof the Snowflake variety, and weighs two pounds and five ounces; the second is of the Pearl order, weighing one and three- quarter pounds. The specimen of the Snow- fiake is perhaps of unusual size, but that of the Pear], weighing one and _three-quarter pounds, Mr. Lower says, is a fair sample of potatoes grown on all the farms in that seo- tion of the country. In the past scason the Lower farm produced fifty bushels of pota- toes of the Pearl variety not one of which would weigh more than #n ounce under one and three-quarter pounds, The same soil which produced these splendid specimens will_grow cabbage heads, from the seed, weighing twenty to twenty-five pounds each and allother vegetables in_proportion. Thé country in the vicinity of Ewing is fast set- tling up, and many people are realizing the exeellence of the soil. Where such splen. did products are grown it would be supposed that there would be conveniences for reach- ing the markets. Unfortunately for the farmers in that section, the only railroad with- in their reach has placed freight rates tosuch a figure that the producer cannot afford to pay these rates for the privilege of sending his products to the market. As a consequence the many bushels of potatoes of excellent quality raised in that section were sold at the low price of fifty cents per bushel, when had the producer been accorded a fair freight rate to Omaha, he could haye easily received $1 per bushel for his product. The citizens of Holt county are living in hopes that ere long a railroad will bo operated through their section which will accord to the farmer an opportunity to market the results of his toil, and open up the advantages of that section, WILL THERE BE MORE WAR? The Question of Pro-rating to Eastern Points. + A dispatch was received in Omaha yesterday to the effect that the officials of the Soo road had given notice that, owing to the position taken by the I!nrlmp{tnn & Northern it would be impossible to restore rates on March 26 as agreed. The Burlington & Northern has given notice of an advance but has buen attempting o secure an arrange- ment with the eastern roads to prorate through business between St. Paul ana the seaboard at 331 per cent of the rate between Chicago and the seaboard. Nothing definite in this matter has been done yet, and the 00" certainly cannot make higher through rates than the Burlington & Northern, its no- tice to restore rates had to be abrogated. It is believed that this will practically nullify the agreement which the granger roads recently made to restore rates. The *‘Soo” and the Burlington & Northern haveannounced their intentions not to advance rates, and it is be- liaved that the other northwestern roads will ignore them. To do this would be to surren- der all the through business business between the seaboard and St. Paul, and it is not thought they will care to make such a great sacrifice. This is considered by railroad men as another break, and will pmcncauv have to be fought out by the rival roads which may again precipitate the cut from which some of the lines are now so de- sirous of escaping. The Burlington & North- ern is a “Q" road and runs into St. Paul territory. When it makes a cut the St. Paul road meets it by a cut into “Q" territory. It is this well defined policy between these two roads that led to the recent cutting. If the prorating above re- ferred to is carried by the Burling- ton & Northern, the St Paul will inaugurate the same rates between Omaha and Chicago. ¥red Nash, the gen- eral agent of the latter road, was seen yester- day, while not speaking because of offl- cial action having been taken on the subject, declared that his road would act in the eme gency as above indicated. pameoset SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.

The prosecution grows out of thie discovery alleged fo have een made by Captan Duft Green, that the defendant in his saloon one night 'treated a friend to a glass of beer after 12 o'clock. The charge of violating the 12 o'clock ordi- dance was changed to selling liquor on Sun- day. A large crowd of spectators was pres- ent and the utmost interest was manifested in the proccedings. The city was represen- ted by Assistant City Attoriey Smith, while Mr. A.'S. Ritchie looked after the interests of the defendant. Judge Groff refused to allow defendant’s attorney to ask the question of jurors as to whether or mot they held prohibition opinions, and whether, if such opinions if held by them, would influence their decision, It tooke néarly an hour to select the jury and . Smith read the information to the jury and as the first witness called, Captain Duft areen. He testified that on Sunday morning, the 12th-of March, about 1and 2 o'clock he received information that a crowd of men were in Mr. Wood’s place. He went there and saw one man at the bar with a glass in front of him and half the contents were drank. Witness then took the glass and drank part of it. It was beer. In thewine rocm he saw three men, with glasses and decanters on the table in front of them. Witness said to Mr. Wood, ‘“John, Ill have to report you.” Mr. Wood' replied, “You'll do wrong if you do.” Ofticer Horrigan was the next witness. He testified that he was with Captain Green and corroborated his superior’s ev: ) Officer Clarke wus next called. He could see by a reflection in the ceiling mirror two men standing ot the barat 1 o'clock. He also saw the bartender take something from the bar counter, go to the cash registcr, and then put something back on_the bar. ' Wit- ness on cross-examination admitted that he saw no liquor sold nor any money change hands. The state then rested its case. The defense_called Mg Wood as first wit- ness. He testified that fie closed his house at 12 o'clock, und that he did not sell or give away any drinks after thathour. If any was given away it was done by a barterder with- out his sanction or authority. The only two persons admitted after midnight were Cap- tain Green and Detective Horrigan, This closed the testimony and the argu ments of counsel began. Both attorneys based their talk entirely upon the technics points of law. Mr. Ritchic made a stror argument for his client. He denounced in unmeasured terms what he termed the under- handed trick by which Green and Horrigan succeeded in gaining entrance to Mr. Wood's 1 The jury went out at five minutes past 4 o'clock, and as they were still in deliberation when the court adjourned they were ordered to hand in a sealed verdict.
