Another Ohapter in the Celebrated Sohurz- Koblenz Damage Case. SENSATIONAL ALLEGATIONS NOW MADE. Judge Deemer Renders a Number of | Important Declsions — Three Claimants for a Worthless Grip—Day at Chautauqua. As stated some time ago in Ture Bee, there 18 to be another chapter in the Schurz-Kob- lenz trouble, consisting of a damage suit, and this chapter is to be eiven to the public in the course,of & day or wwo in the shape of & petition now being prepared’ in the office of Attornay Ware, who is handling the case for Koblenz. In the suit Mr. aad Mrs. J. H. Koblenz are the plaintiffs and N. Schurz’ is defendaut. The amount claimed is made 10,000, The trouble’ out of which the prosent suit grow took place last winter when Schurz attached the property of Koblenz, a tel of his, for rent, which, according to the tel of the lease, would not come du months, A motion Lo quash the attachment was made some time ago, on the ground that the household goods v not liable for rent not yet due, and this view of the case was susfainea by Judge M who charged up the costs of the tachmeut to Schurz The attorn for Schurz reopened the casc on a motion to retax the costs, which we jollar or two too much, and by s0 doing allowed Koblenz's attorney to intro- duce a motion to tax up an_attorney’s fee of £100 for himsolf. This motion was also sus- tained, and in that way the costs of the suit were increased from &) to $109, Since thut time nothing has,been heard of the matter until now In the present suit it is alleged by the pluintiffs that Mes, Koblenz was so fright- ened by the servinzof the attachment papors, that she left the house and went the sam might to the house of & friend in Omah taking nothing with her. A day or two later she gave pirth to a dead child, und the afi- davit of a physiciun is at hand to the effect that the death was duo to the fright she sus- at night. 1 st of the story as given in the peti- tion corresponds with the above account.

Judge Deemer held a session of district court yesterday at which he transacted cou- siderable business. A rumber of decisions wore rendered. Among the cases which he decided were several in which Mrs. Sullie Stillman was defendant, and which were brought for the purpose of foreclosing me- chanics’ liens on a_dwelling which is now oc- cupied by Mrs. Stillman. The foliowiug are the names of the plaintiffs in the suits: A. Rosenburg, A. C. Raymond, Chicago lumber company, Woolsey & Long, B. Grahl and Wickbam Srothers. In eachof the cases a decision was rendered against the defend- ant for the amount of the cluim, together with the costs. In the case of Peter Wind aguinst John Wagener et al., a judgment was rendered for the plaintiff for &4, Mrs, Sarah D. Way, whose suit for a divorce from her husband, J. L. Way, was tried a fow days ago, was granted the divorce as prayed. A deoision was also rendered by Judge Thornell in the almost famous case of Wood- wacd ugainst Beach, ‘This case was tried at the January term of district court. It was brougnt to set aside the wili made by the old man Woodward shortly beforo his death, in which he bequeatlied all his propérty to Mrs. A B Beach, shutting his heivs, M. F. Woodward, D. I, Woodward, Persis W, Woodward, Calvin Woodward, Lorena Housenolder and William Woodward, out in the colu. It attracted consideruble attention at the time of the trial, by reason of the racy testimony which was introduced by the attornoys for the plamtiff to show thut some of Mrs. Beach’s actions toward the old man Lad been such as to lead to the opinion that sho was working him for s money. Judge Thoruell evidently was not impressed with this testimony as much the court room spectators were, for in his decision ho dismissed the petition of the piaintiff and ordered the costs of the suit taxed up to the plaintiffs, For Sunstroke Use Horsford’s Acid Phosphate.

EMCRANT JUGGLING THE RATES, Western Business Ordered Divested to a Single Line—It May Cause Trouble—-Businiss for the Maple Leaf, July 15.—~The-freight department of the Central Traflc association closed its meeting today. The question of devising a plan for a legal division of competitive traffic, or, in other words, forming a blind pool, was discussed at considecable length, bLut was finally referred to the managers of the lines for consideration and action. Correspondence relating to a meeting to bo held in Memphis tomorrow with a view to advancing the rates on cotton was read, and resolutions wero passed en dorsing the objects of the mecting and. pledging the co-operation of the lines in the Central association in any action that may bo taken looking to the advancement and maintenance of cotton rates from Mississippi valloy territory. A number of applications for reauced rates on oil were submitted but none of them con- tained arguments strong enough to conviteo tho trafiic managers that there was any nec- essity for o change in the published tariffs. TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION AFFAIRS, The fact that nothing was accowplished at the meeting of the advisory board of the Western Traffic association in New York ©auses no 3urp: in railroad circle3 hero. The president's agreement, is still looked upon as a makeshift to tide over a crisis in railvond affairs, and as the crisis 15 supposed to be virtually passed, it is believed that tho oreanization will be permitted to gradually sink out of sight. 1t is said that tho disposition made of Jay Gould's pet scheme for the establisnment of joint agencies was premeditated. Those who were opposed to the scheme did not want to antagonize Gould openly and so hit upon the plan of postpouing the consideration of it from timeto time and thus defeating the pro- jeet without killing it suddenly. No doubt the secret of this opposition is a distrust of anything proposed by Gould. “The recent rate cutting performance of the Missouri Pacific has apparently convinced the managers of western roads that Gould is looking after Gould's interests exclu- sively and they are prepared to believe that " if joint agencies were established the wizard would find means to soon manipulate them s0 that Gould's interests would be taken care of atthe cost of thoso of any other roads that might be in the way. Another reason given by many railroad men for predicting the early downfall of the Western Traffic association is the failure of evory effort to bring the Alton, the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City aud other important roads into the combine. JUGGLING EMIGRANT TRAFFIC, The advisory board of the Northwestern blind passenger pool issued an order April 20 tothe effect that all west bound emigrant business handled on split orders drawn on Chicago by A. E. Johnson & Co., destined to or through St. Paul or Minneapolis, shoull be diverted in eglial proportions to the Chi- cago, Burlington & Northern and the Rock Istand, Chatrman Finley has now issued a new order directing the pool lines to turn over all this business to ‘e Chicago, Bur- lington & Northern. He has also addressed a letter to tho traffic manager of the Wiscon- sin Central reminding that oficial that no statement has been made 'by him of any di- version of the emigrant business under tho order of April 20, HOTEL TICKET OFFICES, Oueof the guestions to bo. considered at the meeting of the Western Passenger asso- ciation tomorrow 1s tho re-ostublishment of ticket oftices in the leading hotels. The Illinois Central has applied to Chwirman Finley for relief beoayse the Monon and Chicago, Evansville & Indianapolis have placed their tickets on sale in the Auditorium hotel. If relief is granted there is not much doubt thut the agreement offered over a year ago to sell no tickets through hotel agencies will be dissolved. BUSINESS FOR THE MAPLE LEAF.

S1. Pavt, Minn,, July 15.—F. L. Whitaey, general pussenger agent of the Groat North- eru road, has written Chiairman Finley o sar- castiv letter, in which he contrasts the promptness with which the Western Passen- er association granted reduced rates for the Hull-Fitzsimmon fight and the delay of the assoclation in granting the application for re. duced ratas for laborers to work in the har vest fields of Minnesota and the Dakotas. Mr. Whitney intimates that the roads in_the northwest will be forced to take independent action and makes such rates as their inter- ests demand, e FORMALLY IN TALLED, Father Hoeffer the New Presilent of Creighton College, Fatter James Hoeffer, recently of St. Louis, was installed as president of Creigh- tou colloge yesterday at nogn.

In the meantime the bod of the river kept changing until it had added o largo slice of land to the Ne- braska side at one point and another some- what smaller piece to Towa at anoticr point. The latter parcel of land was that lying di- reetly south of whatis known as Cut-Off luke, and the former was that lying botween the river bed where itis now, east of East Omaba, and_a line drawn almost directly south from the east end of the lnke until it intersects tho This was the situation in 1877, and it was generally conceded that Cut-Off island, as it was known, was in the jurisdiction of ' Towa, and the land directly enst of it belonged to Nebraska. During tho high water of 1877, however, the river broko through the narrow neck of land connecting “the island” with tho Iowa shore and thus ly transferred o large tract of land to ebraska sido of the river. ho question of jurisdiction then ussumed a more serious aspect, it boing held by many ablo peoplo that the boundary lino between the states changed with the channel of the river, while as able minds held the opposite, As improvements grew on the disputed terri- tory this question assumed a very important phase and was taken into the courts for ad- jadication. Tt is claimed by the representatives of the Nebraska side of the case that the boundary line betweon tho two states, having been fixed by congress in the midale of the river, changed with the gradual change in tho channel, such us took place during the years previous to 1877, but did not chan the sudden breaking through of the river which occured during that year, hence the bou dary line 18 held to be in the middle of the channel of 1877, out-off. This would place the old island under the jurisdiction of Towa and would give Nebraska jurisdiction over the land whercon are located the fac- tories, etc., in East Omaha, The Towa side of the caso, however, holds that the changes botween 1851 and 1577 wero sudden and considerable at times, so that the doctrine of accretion, or gradual change in the channel, does not apply. Therefore, tho bounaary line is located exactly where it was originally established by the acts of congress creating Towa ana Nebraska, Af this doctrine is good, however, the com- monwealth of Nebraska will lose jurisdiction ovor East Omaha, but it will acquire juris- diction and control over a large tract of lund along the river front on the Council Bluffs side, including both the Union Pacific and Doujglas street bridges and a_large portion of the Towa “bottoms.” It is thought by peo- ple familiar with tho _matter that the lowa authorities will be willing to concede their claim over East Omaha provided the claim of Nebraska to the lands on the bottoms is not pushed.
