AN QLD CASE REVIVES. A Jury Hears tho Hvidence and Proceods to Wrestle. WORK OF A GREASY SHARPER. Another Complaint 1s Made Con- cerning Freight Rates—Gen eral Notes of News From the Capital, £ Lixcorx Bureau or THE OMATA Bar, 1020 F T, Feb. court resumed 25, Laxec This morning the district and a trial was had befors Hon. A. W. iield and a jury—that of Dr. Matthews vs. Colo- nel Cropsey. The cause was arelic of ancient times in Nebraska, There was a peiiod when early settlers found themselves ousted from the farms which they had obtained on the line of the St. Joe & Denver railroad of which they had securcd patents from the government, bocause, at the time of these patents or entries, the railroad company had filed their definite location, at Washington, and thus obtained the first lien on the land. In 1578 Colonel Crovsey had a section of land in Cropsey county. This he sold—a half sec tion each to two parties, ome being Dr. Matthews, of Nemaha county. The two land buyers let hun have grist mill machin- ery and tumber for the section, Dr. Matthews gotting half the scction for his ‘share. In 1882 the decree of the United States court ook a on from [rr, Matthews and gave it to Knevals, who represented Bt. Joe interests. Dr. Matthews now brought suit to recover for the failure of the warranty, and put his damages at 500 and anterests. The defendant's case wus that the action was barred by the statutes, that nothing eould justly be recovered from him and that the consideration he received was not really not more than $100 for the quarter section, | The case was given to the jury at noon and at this hour the twelve men “are Btill wrestling with the problem A Cool Sharper. Armed with a book of Pirst National banik checks, a sharper started out to do the city last Saturday, and came well nigh being cessful. Ho went from store to store, making light purchases, and with the air of a busi- ness man wrote a check in payment, signing the firm name of George & Gwartne rictors of the Capital Machme works. hese checks always over-paid his purchase, and he would pocket the cash on the plea that he was short of change, but this excited no suspicion for he carried a check protector, ‘wore a suit of gi v clothes, and the nan of George & to a check was b lieved to be good for any sum for which it was signed. In this way the cool swindler secured nearly £100 in cash, and then de- camped. The rogue’s work was not d covered until this morning. Consternation followed when the extent of his work be- came known. cgarded as the coolest vicee of knav er transacted in the city. i\'eue of Lis victims are able to give an intel- ligent deseription of the rogue’s 1ooks. Most of them remember that he wore a greasy Tooking suit of clothes, but this is all. The sharper did his work well and slid out for arts unknown, There is littie doubt of this. But so meagoer is the description given of him chat be could remain in the city with little fear of arrest. The police force is in disgust because it practically has no clue to work upon. No one business man was victimized out of more than §15, and the checks he real- ized upon aggregate almost $100. Another Covington Complaint. C. D. Smiley makes complaint and asks the state board of transportation to order and dircct the Chicago, Minneapolis & St. Paul railroad company to change the name of the station at South Sioux City, now called Covington, to South Sioux City, and for cause alleges that there is or was a station called Covington at the villago of Covington, about two and a half miles from South Sioux City, and that the adoption of the name of Covington station for South Sioux City creates confusion, miscarriage of froight and mistakes on the part of passen- gers. Besides the station Covington at Covington is scveral years old and has ac- quircd an unsavory reputation, and Mr. Smiley objects to the name of Covington for the station at South Sioux City, owing to the reputation enjoyed by the station known as Covington at Covington.

Patrick Spellman, one of the victims of the Burlngton viot, August 11th iast, filed nis petition in the districy court to-day, al- Jegin §10,500 damnges against the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad company® The petition tells the story of the shooting, familiar to readers of Tu Bek, and sets up that the plaintift was & member of the Union Paciffc excursion party, on tho mnute of returnmng home when the assault was made by detectives, employes of the arty dofendant, from which he received a ullot wound in one of his ankles, without causa or provocation, that has since kept him idle and probably crippled him for life. The petition is a clear cut legal paper and succinctly states causos for action. The shooting is designated as malicious and pre- meditated, bordering a_riot, for which tho defendant was responsible, und judgment is prayed for the amount stated and the costs of the suit. It will be remombered that Spe man lay av the Capital hotel several woeks before his removal to his home at Omaha was considered safe or advisable. Supreme Conrt News.

While eoing over the equity docket he read: City vs. Saunders. “I ask,” interjected City At- torney Webster, “to have that continued until the 4th of March.” The bar chuckled. His honor smiled as he replied, **According to newspaper reports I doubt whether he (meaning ex-Governor Saunders). will be ready for trial after the 4th of March.” Deputy Sheriff Grebe and his assistants brought six prisoners into the room. The Jatter were arraigned before Judge Groff. Two of them were small colored boys. Colonel Mosby first stood up, He had no counsel and the judge asked J C. Whorton to undertake his ase. “I will, your honor,” replied Mr. Whorton. I have long been a friend of the colored man, and want to do_tor him all L can.” Mosby is charged of stealing a dia- mond pin from James Timothy. Colonel Mosby is a very black Alabama negro. Charles Johnson heard read the information against him, alleging that on the 15th day of January he hssaulted and tried to murder one Irwiney De Hone, to which he very em- phatically entered a plea of not guilty. “The next unfortunate was Nicholas Smith- roth, who has been _lying in jail a long time for folony.

The Pacific Hotel Company’s Offer to the Union Pacifio Ttnow transpires that the Paciflc Hotel company has two propositions pending before the Union Pacific. The latest proposition is that the former company is turning over the property to the Union Pacific. The other proposition is as to the division of the ecarnings in case the Union Pacific concludes to run dining cars on their egular trains from Omaha west. Thomas Swobe, vice president of the hot mpany, was at headquarters, it is said, for the pur pose of considering the deal. When ques tioned, he said: “Our present contract with the Union Pacific has six years to run, but we have cerwin matters pending now that are indevendent of this contract. We have agreed to a_modification so as to allow the Union Pacific to run dining cars on all trains and in this, the transaction hinges upon the division of the carnings.” “Isita fac that your com: hasoffered to sell its plant utright to the Union Pacific?”” “*Yes, that is trao. We have made two propositions aud this is one, while the modification of the con- tract is the other. As yot, , nothing definite nas been arrived at.’ al Man- ager Kimball, of the Union Pacific, when asied concerning tae matter, statod that nothing definite had been consummated, but that it was under consideration, Resignation and Promotion. It is stated on good authority and by an in- timate friend of S. H. H. Clark, vice presi- dent of tne Missouri Pacific, that he will be the next president of the Gould system. Jay Gould is said to be desirous of dropping out of active railway 1ifb, and, in view of this, Clark being his favorite, the position will fall to him, The statement that such a slate has already been fixed up is said to have been made by Clark while he was in Omaha a fow days ago, The stockholders will meet at St. Louis March 12 prox. and it is stated that at thic mecting a board of directors will be elected, from which Clark will ve chosen president. As regards the resigna- tion of W, H. Newman, third vice president of the Missouri Pacific, an intimate friend of Mr. Newman, stated, that while the latter has not resigned he would tender his resigna- tion in the shortly and could then retire from active life in railroading, The state- ment that Mr. Newman is o resign is based upon personal communica- tions received in this city purvorting to have come direct from the pen of Mr. New- man himself, The reason for resigning is that he has tired of active life and that he has concluded to step down and out of rail- roading. A Relief Fund. The Burlington company is about ‘to - augurate a relief department similar to that maintained by the roads in Pennsylvania. A meeting was held in General Superintend ent Calvert's office at Lincoln at which Messrs. Livingston, Hawlsworth and Grue- sel, the projectors of the scheme, were pres- enf. A Mr. Bartlett, formerly con- nected with Pre Picken's of- fice. in Boston now on a tour among the employesand has been placed in charge of the new enterprise. The usso- ciation is kept up by voluntary membership and assessments made in accordance with the salaries of the members. The funds thus derived are for the purpose of maint: ing sick or disabled members or burial ex- penses in case of death. Sues the Union Pacific. One yeer ago yesterday a wreck occurred at Coleon, Neb,, on the Union Pacific in which four passenger coaches were wrecked and burned. The accident was occasioned by the passenger train coming in contact with the end of a freight train that had not sufficiently clearcd the main track iu switc ing. One peculiar feature of the accident was that [, Dickinson, then general superin- tendent of tne roud was on the train, but was in his private coach which® was attiched to the rear of the train, and aside from the baggage car, was the only remnant of the wreck. In the wreck, aside from the prop- ity of the company, a large quantity of the private property’ of Dassengers was consumed by the flames, It will also be re- membered that Engineer Powell, who was on the locomotive of the passenger train, was instantly killed. However, the company adjusted the losses of all the passengers, or at least it thought so. but to-duy notice was served on the ofticials to the effect that one Simon Moss who claims to have been a pass- enger on the ill-fated train, hiad obtained service on the company through its agent in California to recover $i50, the value of a diamond pin which he claims to_have lost in the wreck and other damages amounting in all to $2,500. The case will be called in court at Los Angeles, Murch 15, Freight Rates. General Trafic Manager Mellen of the Union Pacific has returned from Kansas, where he attended a meeting of the state railway commission at Leavenworth. The meeting was called for the purpose of dis- cussing rates on coal by the Kansas roads. It was decided to allow the present rates to prevail until matters in this respect were ar- ranged in conformity with the presidents’ agrecment. This afternoon Mr. Melleu left for St. Louis where he will attend a mecting of the' gencral managers and general traflic manazers, It is stated that the organization of the system proper will be placed in the hauds of the chairman of the inter-state rail- way combination, and that nothing of impor- tarce in this respect will be transacted until a chairman 18 selected.

How the Pugilist Looks, Talks and Deports Himself. THE MANNERS OF A GENTLEMAN. In Spite of His Professia Decent Sort of His Comments Sullivan, He's a Very Fellow — on Prepariag For the Fight, Wasnivarox, Fob, Spacial to Tne Ber. | —Jake Kilrain has gone into active training. He has taken,to use his own expres sion, “*his final round up.” Not that Kilrain has been drinking to any extent. He has not There have boen stories sent out by Sulli vaw's friends ana_backers that Kilrain has been drinking and in fact has been on an al most continual spree. Nothing is farther from the trath. Your correspondent was with him on his last night out, Kilrain has never been u total abstaner, nor has he, on the other hand, been a hard drinker, During all the time that hie was in Baltimore as the instructor of the Krib club prevaratory to his trip abroad, Kilrain's only stimulant was porter, of which he drank only one or two glasses a day. Since his return from Euarope, it is true Kilrain has occasionaliy looked upon cham- pagne when it fizzed, and if he has occasion- ally looked upon o glass too much, it has been at very, very rare intervals. His drink now is ale. He has not touched a drop of wine or whisky for a month. Kilrain looks remarkably well, He is a handsome, gentlemanly looking fellow, aud dresses in what is remarkably gooa taste for one of the sporting fratern He w diamonds save a small stone * set down into a ring, which he wears ou the little finger of his left hand. As a rule, he affects o black snck suit of clothes, with a white four-in- hand scarf, and be invariably wears a Derby hat. Fora short while after his return from Europe, he affected uppers on his gaiters. He has discarded these as being “too Knglish. There have been Jake Kilrain's anglicism. I years ago, when he was only a tr Acrial boat ciub in Baltimore. later when he began giving in spurriug in o small way, and I have known him since his re turn from England. Heis the same plain, gantlemanly, unaffected dake Kilrain now that he was ten years ago, He not be- come an anglo-maniac. ~ He is as thoroughly an American as he ever was, The story that he invariably talks of shillings and pence claiming to have forgotten how to count the “‘blarsted American money,” 18 “an absurd lie.” That he should have caught an occas- ional English expression is only natural, when one considers that during the time he was abroad he was constantly in communica- tion with Englishmen. Since his return he had Charles Mitcheli at his elbow al- hut it is unfair to say that he ap English manners or customs. His accent is, perhaps, a trifle English, occasionally, and he has been known to say “‘strike me lucky"’ or ever to add *you know” to an occasional sentence. But even that has disappeared now since he has been back in America, and ninety-nine men out of one hundred will spend the whole evening in his_company se ing him and hearing him, and never once guess that he was outside of Boston or Balti- more. Kilrain dreads notoriety. He has rented himself a little house on Division street, Bal- timore, where his life is so retired that not one Baltimorean in-a-thousand knows where the house really i Here he lives with his “yife and little child, and a kinder and more devoted husband never hived. ‘When 1 asked him how he felt when he stood in the ring opposite Jem Smith, he said: “My only thought was what will become of my wife if T get licked.”” I naturally spoke to him, not having seen him since his returs,‘about his coming fight with Sullivan. He takes a very plain, mat- ter-of-fact, commonisense view of tne affal Sad he: “*As a matter of business, we have got to fight, and while I confess that I am not anx ious to meet Sullivan, this fignt must come off, and I propose that it shall. This country wants to khow which of us two is the bettér man, and I am going to do all I can to show it. Iam tired of being treated in this coun- try as lam. Wherever I go there is a de- termined gang of some people, whoover they may e, who try to insult me in every possible way, and wherever I have appeared I have been greeted with cries of *Sullivan!’ *“Suilivan!’ and hisses, and I am determined that this thing must stop, If I can lick him T am going to o 1t; if he can whip me he is going to doit. One way or another this matter must be decided. There cannot be two champions going through the country, and one of us must step down.” Of his fight with Smith he takes the same cool. matter-of-fact view. He fights simply because claiming to be champion he must hold himself ready to meet all comers who dispute his claim, There is mno in- ate Dbrutality about ~the man. He does mot fight because he en- joys the slugging, or the drawiag of blood or the maiming of his opponent. Circum- stances have placed hini in a position, and it is to keep himself in this position that he will meet Smith and Sullivan. Kilrain’s popularity in Baltimore is un- doubted. Wherever he has gone he has been immediately surrounded by a group of admirers, and the young bloods of Baltimore consider it an honor to be permitted to share a box with him at the theatre or to offer him abottle, He has looked upon all this sort of thing with good-humored content, and has steadfustly refused all invitations and at- tempts at approaches from straugers. His old friends he has been glad to see, and he has cared to make but few new ones. It is believed here that he can whip Sullivan, It is known positively that he is anxious to meet him, Kilrain’s training from now until the 15th of April will be merely preliminary. He will confine himself to long walks and an almost total abstinence from liquor. His purpose is simply to reduce his superfluious flesh, On the 15th of April the limit expires for a final deposit of the twenty-thousand dollar stakes between himseif and Sullivan, If by that time Sullivan has sufficiently improved in bealth to satisfy his backers that he has a chance to win, there will be no trouble in agreeing on a finul stakeholder, but if his conduct in the meantime is such as to make them believe he does not mean to carry out his good intentions, then they will prevent the appointment of a final stakeholder, and the $10,000 already up will be returned to _the parties from whom it came. Kilrain has commented on the fact that Sullivan’s recent dissipation does not seem to indicate that he very seriously in- tends to meet him, Kilrain argues that if Sullivan really meant fight he would do everything in his power to get himself into trim, and he certainly does not seem to be doing that just now..” It is only just to Sul- livan, however, to say that thore 18 nothing much 1o this line of argument. He has just the same reasons for being anxious to meet Kilram that Kilrain llhnuel? has given for his anxiety, and the best thing these two gentlemen can do for the sake of theirown pockets is to meet and fight the thing out. As to the details of the prospective meet- ing between Kilraip, and Smith nothing has been heard here of fite. The last cable on the subject said that a “go” would be ar- ranged for Novembey next for $1,000 uside, but it is pretty cértain that Kilrain will not fight for such small stakes when he can do better on this side,, Lf his match with Sulli- van should fall thgoygh he will go west and meet some of the cracks of that section, for fight he must, and be knows it. He will not object to mwun‘; Peter Jackson, the colored man, as did Sulliyan, provided ‘the prize is for $10,000 or better, and it is understood that President Fuldoa, of the Athletic club, is willing to raise that amount to bring the men together, Kilrain received a letter vesterday from Joseph Schlesinger, the sec- retary of the Southern Athletic club, of New Orleans, inviting him - to spend part of his time in New Orleans, and offering him the courtesy of the club's building and appai tus duriug bis training. — An Absolute Cure.

The victim had ovi dently fallen or been thrown off the structure some time during the night. Whothor his d ending was due to an accident or to vio lence, a8 yet romains a mystery. Coroner Drexel was notifiad and had the body removed to his undertaking establishment Up to midday the identity of the man had not been ascertained. He was ovi dently a laborer, had on a good suit of aark clothes, wore a rod moustache,is rather good appearing and apparently about thirty-five years old. On apass book found in his pocket, is the name of George Barney and on a stencil the name George Baut, Whether oithor of these belonged to the victim is not known. The supposition is that he must have boon struck by a train and knocked off the bridge, His head is badly cut and body severely bruised At lock last night Coroner Drexel em pannelled a jury and held an inquest over the remains of George Blanyock, for such proved to be the victim's name. The result of the verdict was that the man came to his death by a fall from the Union Pacific bridge that from the evidence adduced the jury found his death to bo accidental.

Goodman Drug Co. - - The Baltimore Convention The national republican league convention will be held in Baltimore Thursday. The league in this state and each republican clud of the state is entitled to send four delegatos, besides the president of each organization, to the couvention. It was thought that tha many different elubs in the stato would make a strong representation in the convention, but as far as Omana is concerned, only a few delegates will go to Baltimore. A moeting of tho excentive committee was to have been held Saturday night for the purposc of ap- pointing delegates to attend the convention, but there was not a quorum. The state branch of the republican league has made arrangements for a number of delogates, and the state will be represented by these. R. W. Breckenridge, of the executive commit. tee, is now at Lincoln making preparations to send delegates Neither One pet. Some time ago David W. Hill commenced action m the district court for divorce from his wife, Tillie, claiming that she had been criminally forgetful of hbr martial vows, at the “road houses.” The wife responded yes- terday in a cross-bill, denying this alle; of infidelity. She doesn’t want her husba to get a divorce. She wants to secure it her- self. In order to do so, she accuses her liege lord of being quite a short, associating with gamblers and prostitutes. She also claims that for some time he has boen keeping a mstress named Mageie Rowley, and is liv- g with her in a house on Nin teenth street, between Burt and Web- ster ts. Mo Hill also affirms that her husband is a man of low and vulgar habits and is not a fit custodian to care for their young child, whose name 1s Dolly. The mother asks the custody of the Love's Labor Lost. Rabbi Benson will go to Lincoln to-day for the purpese of trying to secure quarters in the asylum for the insane for Rosa Caspers who is violently insane, and who has been in the county jail for a number of days. The rabbi secured the necessary documents yes- terday from the county commissioners and the insane board. The reason that she is compelled to go to the state capitol is that the asylum is 50 overcrowded that 1t is difii- cult to get a patient accommodations at that institutaon, Shortly after the rabbi left the county building with his _documents a postman dropped a letter to Frank Moores, clerk of the district court. It was from Dr. Knapp, of the asylum, instructing the clerk to send the insane woman to Lincoln this morning. She will go on the same train as will the rabbi. Took Morphine and Died. Coroner Drexel was notified at 2 o’clock yesterdayafternoon of a suicide at Mrs, Mor- tou’s house on Davenport between Ninth and Tenth streets. The victim was Hattie Mendell and outcast who, it scems, had no home. Anyway she was taken from the shanty owned by Mr. Newsom, down on the bot- toms, yesterday by Peter Williams, a col- ored man, who took her to Mrs. Morton's at her request. Soon after, she swallowed a large dose of morphine and ended her earthly troubles. An inquest was held at tho nouse yesterday and the jury returned a ver- dict that deceased came to her death through an overdose of morphine administered by her own hand. ‘The dead woman has a daughter in St. Josepl’s hospital.

Justice Wade was served with papers yester day commanding that he shall appear in the district court next Saturday and show cause why a writ of mandamus asked for by William E.
