Whough Prof. Croan Wag Offered Abundant Substantial Inducements He Suddenly Declured the Deal Off— Other Capital City Notes of Interest. Lixcory, Neb., Jan. 13.—[Special to Tas Bee. |—It transpires today that Omaha or somo other city will after all capture the normal university which has beon occupying 80 prominent a place in the Lincoln eye for the past month. Prof. Croan, the Shenan- doah, Ta., man who has been flirting with the citizens of the capital city, today kicked over the whole arraugement, and the chances are that ho will carry his scheme clsewhere. The history of the movement may be gicaned from a perusal of the followiug agreements Which were formally signed and attested: To K. F.

Kinsley: tiemen— | hereby uccept the kbove propo- fon and axreo to the terms and conditions ercof. \ K\ Roosk, Attest: O. A, ATKINSON, Today Croan demanded a bond from the Lancoin gentlemen interested in the enter- prise to insure their full compliance with tho agreement. The bond properly made out was presented to him in two hours, but ho then claimed that the bond came too late, s be had received a more favorable offer— amounting to $150,000—from Omahba, this amount to be given him in bulldings the first year and an equal amount the second year. It is not believed that he has recolved any offer from Omaha, but that he is simply playing & game of bluff. The gentlomen who baa subscribed to the stock of the proposed 1nstitution held a meet- g this afternoon and unanimously voted to transfer their subscriptions and support to Prof. Roose of this city, provided he would £0 ahead with the enterprise. He has agrecd to do 80. Further dovelopments from Croan are awaited with interest. Some Political Gossip, The meating of the republican state cen tral committee Thursday at Omaha will no doubt be very luteresting. The question of selecting congressional committees will be one of the topies of discussion. **This meeting of the central committee," said a prominent wheel horse in the party to & Bee reporter yeosterday, ‘‘has several strings to it. In the first place itis very view to getting & firm grip upon the repub- lican organization of the state. His plan is to get the Young Men’s Republican leagues all over the state in work- ing order and turn the Inanagement of the campaign next year over to tho leagues, Now 1t is my opinion that the scheme will not work. The republicans will have no trouble in getting the young ruen of Nebraska into line. What we want to do is to win back the older men who have drifted into the alliance. The young men who are available as campaign workers are mostly in the oitles. We want to gain strength in the country. ‘I'hé young men are needed and we should give them a liberal recognition, but there would be no sense in turning the whole campaign over the management of the leagues. John M. ‘Lhurston 1s at the bottom of the scheme with Siaugnter, but I think the sentiment of the committee will be in favor of placing the weight of the re sponsibility upon the shoulders of older and more experienced men aud at the same time et the assistance of the leagues in the work of enthusiug those who are lukewarm and of winning backthose who have drifted into the alliance. “The trouble with Brad Slaughter and Thurston is that they don’t understand themselves. Thurston is very eloguent and Braa very cuoning, but the eloquence of Thurston 1s liable to repel republican farm- ers and scare away republicans in the alli- ance who want to come into our lines, Brad has many friends but he has always trainod with the railroad machine politiciaus and we can't attract either young or old republicans if be makes himself conspicuous. “]t 15 more than probable that the question of holding two conventions next spring and summer will be discussed. The convention to selact delegates to the republican national convention will in all probability have to be held earlier than would be judicious for the holding of the convention to nominate candi- dates for the state ofices. Two conventions aro looked upon by many ieading ropublicaus as an absolute necessity. There is an incli- nation ou the part of many leading men in the party to favor the holding of the first con- vention at Lincoln avd thesecond in Omaha, This matter will probably be earnestly discussed by the party leaders,” Supreme Court, The following causes were argued and sub- mitted: Henry & Coatsworth company vs McCurdy; Henry & Coatsworth company vs Edward I Starr, two cases; Burr vs Ward; Lancaster County Bank vs Horn; Anheuser: Busch Brewing association vs assigned es. tato of Farmers and Morchants bank of Humboldt. ‘The following decisions were rondered: Pollock vs Whipple; Snow vs Vendveer, error from York county, affirmed; Ropub- lican Valley & Wyoming Ruilroad company va Chase county, appeal from Chase county, revorsed and aismissed; Black vs Leonard, wppeal from Saunders county, affirmed; Gus. lin v8 Graeter et al, appeal from Douglas county, reversed and remanded: Hill vs Helmaa, ercor from Kearney county,aMrmed ; Kelly vs Watts, error from Furnas county, aftirmed; Monitor Plow works vs Born! error from Madison county, reversed and ro- wanded; Potalka vs Fitle, appeal from Doug- las county, aflirmed. Court adjourned uutil yanuary 19, when the Fourth district will be called. Wants Heavy Damnges, Jobn T. McDonald, who filed a suit somr months since acainst J, A. Buckstaff foe 25,000, an alleged balance due him as super- intendeat of paving, yesterday afternoon filod an smended petition in which he claims the defendant 1s engaged in various enter- prisos calling for the investment of & much greater amount than Bickstaff was able to command from his owu resources, and has habitually diverted money from the paving business in which plantiff claims an interest; that by these means plaintiff's monies have been dissipated in hazardous enterprises, but in whieh he has no luterest or coutrol. Mo clalms further that the clty owes Buckstaff #:2,000, and secured an injunction restraining the council from 1ssuing warrants, ou the ground that it would render it more dificult and expensive for hmto collectif so allowed.

This morning Judge Dundy had another array of bootleggers and violators of the ex- cise laws oefore him. They were Fred Rinne, Joff Byrum, Louis Statder, Matt Klein, George Mershon, Kobert MoMillan, from various parts of the state west of here. and they were each found guilty on the sec- cond count, and not guilty on the first.

Republicans of Nebraska will find an addi- tional place of interest at which to call here- after when visiting Omaha. ‘The republican league clubs of the state now have a convenient and commodious head juarters on Thirteenth street, directly west of the Millard hotel, ‘'he headquarters coosists of four good sized rooms all on the second floor of the block ufipo!dw the Millard aud opening into each other 1o such & way as to make them very desirable fora political headquarters, Tha rooms have been neatly furnishea and e lighted by electricity. About thirty prominent republicans met at the rooms last night and indulged in a sort of social dedication of the premises. Cards ana cigars demanded a good deal of attention from the company and a few pleasant hours wera spent o the new apartments. “Our intention is to have a convenient headquarters hore for republican workers when they comoe in from over the state, said Mr. Hrad Slaughter last night to a Bee reporter. ‘‘We shall weep tlieso hendquarters open for a year. A file of all the leading re- publican papers of the state will be kept here, and a stenographer will be employed to stay right here all the time from now until the close of the campaign next fall. This will be a convenient place to meet the lead- ing republicans who drop in from over the state, and we hope that all sarnest republi- cans will consider these headquarters at their service and avail themselvesof the ben- efit and privileges we have here provided. Newton Boers and company began an en- gagement lastnight atthe Farzam stroet theater iu “Lost in London.” This is sald to have been the first melodrama written and it has long been a favorite vehicie for the efforts of a certain school of wotors, Its long and ssful caroor is evidence of its popularity with the public.

He had not, aud & chipping of the same was shown him. Glancing it over, his honor smiled suavely, and lacoaically inquired ; “well, what 1s 1t1” “Why was Andrew Rosewater appointed city engineer?" “Simply because I thought it a good time for a change, and for many other reasons I have no wish to enumerate,” “Did Mr. Rosewater apply for the posi- tion ¢ “*Nogir, never.

Tilley, the new superintendent of buildings, called at the office of Superinten- dent Whitlock yesterday and looked over the workings of "the department. He was well pleased with what hesaw and expressed an opinion that he would file his bond next Tuesday 1n order to éntor upon the discharge of nis duties next Wednesday morning. He did not say what changes would take place in the clerical force of the office, but 1t is understood tuat he will discharge one or both of the inspectors, as he considers there is nothing for them to do except draw theirsal- aries during the winter months when there are no new buildings beine constructed.
