The ground for the judgment was that the action was barred by the statute of limitations, ‘“Henry Devol, an employe in Keyes Brothers' casriage factory, is charged with having deserted his wife and children and gone to Omaha with his two youngest chil- ren. Mrs, Devol visited Judege Aylesworth and stated that ever since their marriage, which took place when she was fourteen years old, her life had been one continual round of abuse and ill-treatment.

The Brown murder trial came to an end sesterday. The day was oceapied with the closing argumuents for each side, and the case was submitted at 4:50 o’clock. Av 1130 last nigiit the jury returued a vordict of not guilty and the prisoner was released. About a dozen people were in the court room at the time, nett Tinley, esq., the defendant's junior counsel, being tho only attorney pres- ent. Brown shook hands with his attorney and bastily departed. The evidence was wholly circumstantial, and the fact that the chaim was not complete, the defendant being traced to only within six blocks of the scene of the murder, 18 regarded as the priucipal reuson of failure to convict. ey R Always on Tim>, If you wish to purchase a good and reliable watch 25 per cent less than club rates, and on easy terms, then call at once and ' make your own selection at C.

LT E What Will the Council Do? A moeting of the committee of the whole of the council was held last evening at the ofMce of Mayor Roher for the purpose of dis- cussing the proposition made by the Union Pacific relative to the retontion of the right of way on Union avenue, and other conces- sions demanded td insure the co-operation of this cOmpany in erecting a nem union depot. The council will meet in special session at the council chamber this evening to take- some definite action regarding the matter, Aside from their demand of a permanent right of way on Union avenue, rezardless of the running of dummy trains, the company demands a remission of taxes. They claim that the state board of assessors raised their Al ment beyond all reason. A year ago their assessment nere was $416,000, and this yearit was raised to over $800,000, The state board will not reduce it, and neither the council nor the county board of super- wvisors can interfere with it. The company says that it will pay the state tax, but wants the city and county tax, amounting to $25,000, remitted. They allege that their transfer depot is payiug them an snnual rental of about §35,000 from the eastern roads, and they are certain that they cannot ufford Lo give up this income and expend as much more iu contributing their share toward the new union depot, while at the same time their taxes are increased $25,000. Their po- sition is that this would make their shure of erecung the proposed new structure over 100, which is more than double what it ‘wovld cost any of the other mm-d"-nd they object to it. The council is to decide whether it will make the desired concessions, it being promised that the county will agree to forego its share of the taxes, amounting to about $10,000, provided the vity is willivg Lo giveup the remaining $15,000. ‘The feeling among the aldermen is that a union depot is a necessity, and that it will be pest Lo grant what is asked provided the depot cannot be secured in any other way. Certaln members of the council express the belief that the depot will be erected anyway, and are of the opinion that vhe rail cow- pany is merely usiug it as & club to induce the cll{ to coucede what they demand. They eru that the railroad company Is already vledged in black aud white to into the union depot scheme provided the otlier roads do the unuh::d that it is not accede to U latest require- Other members of the aldermanic body are opeuly in favor of grauting whbat is asked, and insist that it 18 by no means certain that the depot will be built unless the proposition 18 complied with. They cite the case of the stock yards, which, as 18 well known, were supposed to b pormanently fixed on this side of the river until they wers gono to South Omahs, and argue that 1t would be unwise to porinit a repetition of such a dis- astrous move, These are tho positions taken, and it 18 probable that the mattor will bo as warmly discussed at the council meeting tonight as :! was at the committee moeting last even- ng. "The plans for the proposed new structura are completed, and the elovation shows very handsome three story structure, which will cost $200,000, Tue building will be feet long. The amount above stated r sonts the cost of the building alone, ¢ sive of appproaches, trackago or sheds. ‘The grading of the ounds will also cost £25,000 additional, which will swell the total cost to noarly $00,000. It is to securo tho avccassful termination of &0 eminently de- sirable a plan that the union depot i3 now working, and the souncil will hayve a very important decision to render on the question this eveoing. —— Books, books, books, books selling them at bed rock price Brackett is - Boston store for toys uad fancy goods, s ALK Lighting the Masts. Thetwo eighty-foot electric light masts, lo- cated in the southern part of the city a short time ago by the city council, were lighted last evening for the first time. The poles are set flve feot in tho ground, which brings the lights sevonty-six feet and eight inches above the level of the street.+ On each is vlaced two 2,000-candle power Sperry arc lights, and the resnlt of last evening's exper- iment showaa that the new systom will be & Two of these masts take the place of a 130 foot tower and four lights, and & larger territory is illuminated much more brilliantly. The light is thrown fully six blocks, and the space near 1he masts 18 more brightly lighted than the same distance from ono of the towers, As the cost is much less thun a tower, the new mothod bids fair to entirely supplant the tower lights.

Fdward Flad of St. Louis claims to havy invented a method by which plosions in man holes in conduit s tems may be avoided. This danger is the chief objection in New York, where the underground system of wires is in ions occur on account mulation of gns coming n contact with the light introduced by workmen. “The device T mentioned is in dse av the man hole at the northwest corner of Broadway und Locust,” says Mr. Flad, *It is an electric stove at the corner. Attuched to the lamp post are two electric wires, which enter an iron pipe which projects from the sidewalk. They are introduced through this pipe to the man hole, where there is placed a coil of high vesistance tubes, which, receiving the electricity, be- come red hot. As no flame is produced the gasses do not become ignited. Con- nected with the manhole is another pipe, which makes its exit through the vavement. It being cold, creates a a draught in tho manhole and keeps the air there pure.’ The inventor states that on cold days drops of water can be seen issuing from the pipe. They are caused by the con* densation of the warm vapor. One of these electric stoves to every, other manhole will orevent explosions. Con- nected with the wires on the lamp post is a key for turning off the current when desived. “One of the reasons besides the extra cost of placing the wires underground, why companies using electric wires ob- ject to adopting the subway system, is that each desires to control its own wires, employing its own wires,” con- cluded Mr, Flad.

Among tho avrivals from the Avctic ocean on last Sundny was the whaling bark Reindeer, Captain Baker, from Fox island. The ship’s report was meagre enough, but Captain Baker now states that the whaling bark Young Pheemix, which was lost in the Arc ovorn yoarago, was scen again last May. The Young Phoenix left here in De- cember, 1887, says the San Francisco Chronicle. She cruised in the south- ern waters for several months, and early in the spring of the following y sailed for the Aretie. Captain M. V. B Milla 1 of her, and he, in company with the F ving, Mary and Susun and the Jane Gray, was caught in the ice nine miles mnorth of Point Barrow, on August 5, 1888, He and his crew stayed with the vessel for three days, when. finding they could do noth- ing to save the vessel, they abandoncd her and made their way oat of the ice to Point Barrow. A man named Leavitt has charge of .the Pacific Steam W haling company’s station at Cape Smith, which is nine miles to the southward of Point Barrow. He spent last winter in the ice. One morning last May he was nstonished to sce u ship standing out about a mile from the shore, hammed in by ice. He thought he saw a gpecter: but there was the Young Phanix. just as she had been le{t when abandoned. Her decis was nbove the ice; from her houses and rigging depended two sails flopped idly in the br while the rest were furled and f, to the yards. Sho looked like a ship of ice. Teavitt went out to the vessel and found several avticles, which he took ashore.
