2 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1889. BEATRICE OUT SOME BOUDLE. Confusion In Paving Bstimates Lia~ ble to Cast the City Dearly. THE CITY DADS IN A DILEMMA, Developments in the Kibbe Murdor Cnse Show the Existence of a £ociety For Protection Against Thieves. Trouble Over Paving Bonds, Bramnicr, Neb, Oct. 24.—|Special Tele: gram to Tue Bee.|—A considerable sensa- tion was created this evening by the discov- ery that the city had been mulcted 1 the sum of §20,000 for excess bonds in paving ajstriet No. 1. The discrepancy occarred through an ertor in calculation and the con- fusion of two different cstimates. In the first estimate $09,000 bonds were voted in the district on tho busis of & ten-foot - sidewalk along the street to be paved. The bonds “were issued and sold on this basis and the money received hero for them. When the paving was to begin the council passed an . ordinance establishing ffteen feot as the width of the sidewalks in the istrict and the contract was lot and worl completed on that cstimate, It now developes that the total cost of tho paving is but & triflo over §0,000, wheroas $09,000 are on hand to pay for the same. Thie city authorities are t ing to wiggle out of the dilemma by hoping 10 induce the holders of the bonds in the cast to surrender them and accept an equivalent amount of bonds in paving districts No. 2 and 8 when they shall have been issued. The outcome i8 awaited with considerable mterest. The Kibbe Murder Case. 10N, N Oct. 24.—[Special to Tae .|—At the cxamination hLeld yesterday County Attorney Rice discovered much that ‘went to clear up the Joseph Kibbe murder, 1t appears that a large number of farmers in this and adjoining counties have banded to. _gether in some kind of an organization for ‘the protection of their property from thieves. One grand lodge and a subordinate lodge of this organization are in the west part of this county and had to do with this murder. The lodge with headquarters near where the shooting occurred had had notice that Sharp's granary must be watched on last - Sunday night, and a party of six was made up to do 80, According to the testimony of all the six men they met at the house of one Read, about a half mile north, and walked south through a cornfield towards the gran- + ary about 11 o'clock Sunday night. As't came up within a few rods of the buildin and were still in the corn, three pistol shots cracked 1n rapid succession and thy distinctly the flash of tie revolver. Hefore they reached the building they saw several men running and shouted to them, asking if they had caught them—meaning the thieves. “Two of them got away, but we ot one d—n— It was J. Kibbo 1 zuess,’ was the answer, and they quickly disap- peared in the darkuness. Without waiting to investigate, the men who had just come up turned and went back to Read’s. Tu the morning the body {:’iuud, as already described, lying in the oat a, Prosecutor Rice made a diligent search for aclue as to who fired the shots, and although it was in all probubility one of a pa from some lodge in that vicinity, it was impossible to find the man. The case will not end here, however, and it i8 only a question of time before the murderer wil! be run to earth. Kearney's City Hall Defective. Kearxey, Neb, gram to Tue BeE]—An important bric ,-billar in the new city hall here, which is in course of construction, split to-day on ac- count of the great weight it supported. Builders generally condemn the structure because of its inferior architecture. The contractor is ready to puton the slate roof and the building committee fears that tho ‘weight will crush the structure, because of the long flat arches over the windows and entrances and wealk supports. It is begin- ning to assume the proportions of a white elephant. Pender Not Behind In Hospitality. Pexper, Neb., Oct. 24.—[Special Tele- gram to Tng Bee. |—Saturday will be a big day for Pender.

Kennedy Must Die. . Dunvque, Ta., Oct. 24.—Barney Kennedy, the wife murderor, must hang unless the governor interferes, the supreme court hayv- ing sustained the lower tribunal in refusing to graut a new trial. The crime for which Keanedy has been condemned to hang was brutal on record in lowa. Mary dy, bis wife, was found lymng dead near the Maquoketa creek, a few miles above Dubugue and some (Hstance from Kennedy’s home, April 23, 1887. Her ap- pearance indieated that sho had been butch- cred. She had disappearcd 8 few days be- fore. The evidence showed clearly to the minds of the jurymen that Kennedy way- 1aid and kitled his wife, and, as his children testified, arrived home covered with blood. Iu Junc of that year ho was convicted of murder in the first degroe, and Judge Couch 1i: the punishment at death. A new trial was granted on the ground that one of tue jur- ors Liud never been naturalized. In January, 1888, the caso was again tried, a change of venue having been denied. ‘A verdict of guilty was returncd, and Judge Noy pre- seribed the death penalty, to be oxecuted in March, 1853, Kennedy moved for a new trial, on the grounds that the court erred in not g ting a change of venue and that one of the jurors was drunk. This motion was denied, and on appeal was taken to the su- preme court, which sustained the dec The defeuse then filed the petition for rehearing, and meanwkilo sentenco was suspeuded. Kennedy's crime had about 1t o redeeming features. Hiswife wis well counected, and when he married her was one of the most popular young women in Du- buge. She was a mere girl in years, being only sixteen years of age, and IKennddy, in- stead of surrounding her with those homo comforts his industry could bave procured, became dissolute and shiftless, and 8o com: pletely destroyed her ambition and pride that she retired from society, and accepted uncomplainingly a life of drudgery. By her own efforts lurgely she raised and cared for tho rapidly iacroasing family, while Ken- nedy passed much of bis time in idlencss and drunkenness. Then, for some reason unkuown, after having driven hor from the house,« he waylaid her in a lonely ravine while' she was hiding from his wrath, and tally kilted her.

The pro- grammo at both concerts, containing some very difficultmumbers, was well played, and the Apollo club’ought to feel proud of the success achieved. Signorina de Vere has a soprano voic of great power, combined with sweetness, and sang “La Pero au Rrezil” in such @ manner that sho received almost an ovasion, and the other artists ro- ewed their farmor successes. Groav credit is due to Mr. ¥oung for the manner in which he had trained the local swgers, and tho audience attested their appreciation by long and continuous applause, Had it not been for the music at the Coli- soum last ovening there would undoubtedly have been a very large audience at the Grand opera house to witness a most per- fect performance of ‘“‘Romeo and Juliet,” given by Miss Margaret Matter and her superb company. The play 18 too well known to need any further recommendation, and it would be difiicult to find words suitabio to praise the young star in a worthy manner. Her Juliet is simply geand, and in the Afth act she proved hersolf to be an actress of great versatity and_power. It 1s seldom that & dramatic star has a good support, but in Miss Mather's company almost every member is an artist, whi certainly means a great deal. Mr, J, B, Studley, who shares the honor with her, played the character of Mercutio to perfection, and Mr. Charles Wells, as Romeo, was the ideal in every re- spect. ‘‘The Stowaway” drew a large audience to Boyd's opera house last night, and it is safe to predict that among_the various attrac- tions not one afforded its patrons more hearty enjoymentor thorough apprecia- tion. While it is an attraction that appeals strongly to gallery people, those who fre- quent parquet and dress circle find enough story, plot and action to entortain and in- terest them. For a melo-drama ‘‘The Stowaway” holds respectable rank, and in the hands of a good company, as it is[ goes in splondid shape. Joseph Slaytor, as Tom Ingliss, the hero; Frank Losee, in the role of Charles Etherington, a villaw; Harry Booker, disguised as Dicky Dials; ' Murion Elmore, as Chuckey, & news- boy, and Miss Sarah Holmes, as the hero- ine, are well suited to their parts and deserve special mention.

The meeting of the Second ward demo- crats, held in Mies' hall last night, was well attended. Mr. Spoerl addressed the meeting, stating that only two days were left for registration, and that all democrats should register, and when election comes do their duty and vote for the democratic ticket. Bicker said that candidates were never present at the meetings, aud insisted that somethimg be doue to induce them to appear. At this time Julius Werdin, who called the Snyder meeting in the Seventh ward last Wednesday, gave way to his feehngs in a veryToud manner, and, stating that ho noticed #’BEE_reporter present, pro- cenaed to use the most insulting and abusive nguage toward him, He stated that he had been employeil by Adam Snyder to call the meeting last 'Wednesday, and heaped abuse upon the reporter for stating the real facts in connectiot with the mectin; J. C. Riebo was the next speakor, and after denouncinl the republican party, stated that hie was a demberat, and it was the duty ef every good deitiocrat to vote for the can- didate of tho democratic ticket, Adam Snyder.

A SCHEME OF THE VANDERBILTS It Will be Far-Reaching in its Re- sults and Wil Attract Atten tion on Both Sides of the Atlantic. Two Great Systems in Harmony., New Youxk, Oct. 84.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bew.]—The World says: A new and uportant movement in the railroad world just made will attract attention on both sides of the Atlantic, It 18 nothing less than an allisnce betwoen two of the most extensive railway systems of this country—the & Northwestern and the Union Pacific. ‘World can announce positivély that these roads will henceforth be operated in com- plete harmony and with the view of each wiving tho other all the trafic the agents can secure for points on either line. There is, however, a far deepor signifi. cance in this, if the statements of trust. worthy persons are correct, than appears upon the surfas The Chicago & North- western, as is well known, is under control of the Vanderbilts and its board of dirsctors includes several gentlemen closely allied with their interests., The Vanderbilts have for several yoars been solidifying thewr lines east of Chicago and have expended vast sums of money in improvements which some other companies, having less couservative man- A ents, would have paid out in dividends, W, with their close aftiliation with the Union Pacific, the Vanderbilts will, in all probability, branch out toward the Puacific ocean. This could very readily bo done by continuing the line of the Union Pacitic from Frisco, Utah, southwesterly to one of the southern Calitornia seaports in proximity to Los Angeles. The fact that the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul has within a year gone through a process of evolution which brines this line also close to the Vanderbilt interests, would make the combination just outlined all the stronger. ‘What gives color to the rumored intention of the Vanderbilts is the steady absorption of Union Pacific shares for some time, sup- posed to be for their account. As alteady stated, that part of tho programme which brings the Union Pacific and Chicago & Northwestern into close harmony is defin- ttely settled. Those who ought to know de- clare that it will not be long before a Vaun- derbilt through line, extending from ocean to ocean, will also be an accomplished fact. The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneavolis & Omaha railrond company e majority of whose stock 1s owned by the Chicazo & Northwestern company, is a party to the coutract. That_gives the Union Pacific a direct line to St. Paul, to Minneapolis, and to Duluth. The Union Pacific is thus en- abled to compete at_every important center east of the Missouri river that 1s touched by the Northern Pacific-Wisconsin Central combination. The Report Conflemed. Bostoy, Oct. 24.—The report of a trafic agreement between the Union Pacific and the Chicago & Northwestern railways was confirmed at the Union Pacific ofiice herc to-duy. The agreement is for ten yvears. There is a longer one between the Omaha & Republi- can Valley qnd the Chicago, St. Paul, Min- neapolis & Omaha roads. The joint line via Sioux_City is 10 be known as the Lake Suverior, St. Paul & Union Pacific 1i Tie agreetment betwe and the Union Pacific establishes a line via Council Biuffs to be_known as the Chi Union Pacific & Northwestern line. systems are parlies to the contract, bt in the case of the Kansas division of Jnion Pacific, which at no point conneets the Northiestern. The agreement re goes east of Chicago. It is thought here that 1t can mean nothing less than a through line trom occan to ocean by way of HBoston and Albany und the Van- derbilt lines. A Taik With Drpew. New Yorx, Oct. 24 —~President Depew, of the Now York Central raitroad, said to-day, referring “to the statement in a morning paper, that there had been an_ alliance be- tween the Chicago & Northwestern and the Union Pacific railways whereby both roads will be operated in harmony with s view to improving thoir trafic advantages, said: ““Tho statement is correct. There has been a trafiic arrangement between the roads, but nothing further hae been done and I have nothing to add.” Vice President Sykes Explains. NEw Youk, Oct. 2L.—The trafic agree- ment between the Northwestern and the Union Pacific has created a great deal of dgiscussion zmong railread officials in this city. Vice President Sykes, of the North western road, said to-night that the contract is not an exciusive arrangement between both roads in the sense of either road refus- ing to handle the business of other compet- itors. The Rock Island and Burlington have western connectious of thew own, and the alhance between the Northwestern and Union Pacific is simply 1o the line of sumilar arrangements u'ready made with other sys tems. The a gement does not go east of Chicago, and Vice President Sykes said he bad no knowledge that the allied lines in- tended to make eastern connections, The Opint icago. CuicaGo, Oct. 24.—|Special Telegram to Tur Bee]—No oficial utterance could be obtained in Chicago to-day relative to the alliance between the Union Pacific and the Northwestern, President Heghitt is in the eust, Vice-President Newman 1s on a tour of the road, and none of the other officials wero informed on the subject. Itwas the general belief that an alliance had been formed, but that it would not extend further thin a closo trafic arrangement. All sorts of opinions were expressed on the subject, and from the dificrent officials opinions could be gained ng from a belief that it would be & good thing for both roads, to an_egally positive belief that both Lnes would traffic by the deal, Should the deal actually be made 1t will be interesting to note whether the Pullman or Wagner company will control the sleeping car privileges. Wagner coacies now run over the Nortuwestorn and Pullman over the Union Pacific. The mul lose roasons why the roport 15 so rveadily belleved in Chicago are the numerous recent chauges in tho officials of the Union Pacific and the ap- powntment of Mr, Newman to the third vi presidency of the Northwestern, The very uir is tingling with rumors of consolidations, aud uo one doubts that tho ligatning will strike in numerous places. Railway wen sgree that_ there must soon be two or more gigantic_consohdations, headed respectively by tho Vanderbilts and the Goulds. The numerous fake consoli- dations recently saia to have been formed have, by the denial of their formation, only added fucl to the flame of conjecture, What is Said at Headquarters, Vice President Holcomb, when shown the report, said: “Yes, the Union Pacific and the Chicago & Northwestern have entered into & close traftic arrangement, and the deal will take effect as soon as minor details can be arranged, Under this agreement the Uaipn Pacific will turn over all of its uncon- signed busiugss, to the Northwestern, at Omaba. In return the Northwestern will torn over all of its unconsigned business to the Union Pacific at the same point.” *Does the deal involve the Elknorn and the St. Paul & Omabat” “Yes, The north-bound business will be routed over the Omaha & St. Paul. Sioux City will be the port of entry and delivery for north bound business. The trafiic ar- rangements also iwply the Elkbora and its business. **Wao will also in all probability rua through daily trains from the Paocific coast to Chicago. he through servics will be cen- tered at Portland on the west. The through service will ol terminate at Chicago, On the other hand tue arraugemeants call ror o direct conuection with the Vaoderbilt lines at Chicago for New York and Hoston. The substanco of the agreement is that the Union Pacific has allied itself with the Vanderbilt systom, thereby f«rm!ntx a direct and_un- broken route across the continent—New York on the east and Portland on the woest, We were compelied to take this move, The Northern Pacific and San Fe havedirect lines to Chicago and this necessitated a move such a8 we have just made. The prospect of tho Baltimore & Ohio combining with the North- ern Pacifie, theroby forming a direct line to the coast and between the two oceans, re- quired the extension of the territory covered by the agreement which wo made, and for this reason the Vanderbilt system cast of Chicago is included. Yes, this undortaking i8 a cortainty and an important one, too, It not only mves us a direct line across the con- tinont but it also affords us direct communi- eation with Lake Superior ports through the Northwestern's branch lines.” “'Is the Manitoba to be included in the deal?" “‘Thus far it nas not been taken in, but such o thing might be consummated. A matter of this kinds romains unsettled, and it may result in the Manitoba being taken into the agreement.” The combination is a gigantic one when it is taken into consideration that nearly thirty two thousand miles of railroad are wnvolved. The unconsigned portion of the traffic of & road aggrogates, it is said, about 85 per cent of theentire trafc., To Prevent Rate Manipulation. Onicaco, Oct. 24.—[Special “Telegram to Tnr Bee.|-The auditors of the contral trafio and trunk lines and the chafrmen of the various western railroad associations are engaged on & plan which will effectually 8top a large share of the present ways of manipulating rates, In effect, the plan par- tially agreed on is a method of billing traftic by which in all cases the way bill will read from the point of origin to tne ultimate destivation. I'or instan at present the plan on a vmeat of cattle from the Indian territory to Bostou would bo to bill locally to the Mississippi, thence 1t would be ve- billed to Bostou, or perhaps to Chicago, and then to Boston. BEvery rebilling has boen o loophiole which has been cagerly seized for fraudulent billing of various kinds. The manipulations of this class have grown to such serious proportions as to materially affoct the earning power of many of the roads. The inspection bureaus are cloggen with just such cases, and the expenso of tracing the fraudutent billing 1s becoming o serious tax. The practice is so universal as to allow no one road advantage, aud the practical throwing away of money 18 to be stopped by the system of through billing. The Atchison Statement. Bostox, Oct. 24.--The Atchison statement for the second week in October shows the earnings were $604,452, as against 80 for the same time last year, The entire subscrintion offered to the stockholders under the reorganization plan iv18 stated has been guaranteed, and appli- cations ure bemg made for additional amounts, The Statio Kaxsas Crty, Oct. 24.—in the national convention of station agents this morning the Nebraska delegates were ruled out be cause the state association was 1 arres for dues.
