As everypody kuows Mr. Ames 1s an enthusiust on Omaha's bright prospects —_— for future development. He learned then New York Mining Quotations. of the propusition submitted by the Ne- NEW Youk, April 4.—The fo'lowins are the | braska Central people. He considers itan closing mininz stock quotations: opportunity the Jike of which seldow 1s of- Rkl fered and one which must be improved.

We Hom biiver o s have for years been striviog to brivg iuto = Omaube several trunk Jines that aro now Boston Stock Market, from 100 to 200 wiles away from us, but BosTON, Muss, April &—The followivg j buve so far been uvable to accowplish sy definite rosults in this rogard, and now when the opportunity is so favorably presentod our plain duty is to embrace it. “Omaha is" today with referance to our present railway facilities practically sido tracked. The Northwestern crosses tho river at Blair, making { Fremont the important point of its wostern system, whilo the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney has for yoars erossod at Plattsmouth, with its real center for tho western system at Lincoln and not Omaha. The preseut covtrol of the Union Pacific now diverts a large proportion of its business that formerly came to Omaha to southenst points, and the only roads reach ing horo without any westorn extension are the St. Paul and Wabash, “Any arrangoment that can be made mak ing our city the termiui of large railway sys- tems is not only of the greatost beneiit and importance to all interests here but absolute- 1y essential in building up and making Omata the great city its vosition and re- sources warrant., We, of course, should place proper. safezuards about tho grantinz of the subsidy, but it seems to me the propo- sition mado is perfectly safo for both ourcity and county, for it is not contomplated that thoso bonds shall be delivered under two years, and in this connection the interests of tho promoters of the road and our own nre one and the same. We know the city has ot the authority to build the brided or to increase its bondod indebteduess sufiiciontly to pay onc-third tho cost of a bridge, but it must be borno in mind that the cost of the terminal facilities will bo largely in exness of that of the bridgo itself. Tho timo asked by tho Nebraska Central for tho carvying out of their project is a very short one and _cannot stand in the way of any bona fide interest whatever, and the; muist, according to their proposition, bowin work within ono year trom July 1, 1 proceed without delay to the ¢ the worl “I'ho facts are this question is of vital 1m vortance 1o every man who has a dotlar's terost in Omana. It affects all classes all conditions of men here, and £o far own observation gocs is met with favor by uimo out of every tea mea you can meet. I cannot seo any valid objection that men who havo been elected to oftice by popilar voto can urge aguinst this proposition. Tho people certainly have a right to decide upon such a matter as this themselves, They uro interested nudcertainly should have tho right to he considered intellizont eoough to act for themselves, and yet 1 was surprised to learn this morning thit oue or two conn- cilmen are opposed to the proposition. (t certainly seoms strango that every enterpri<o tending to the material advance and com- mereial growth of Omaha always finas a lit- tle clique of men iu oftico to oppose delay and finally kil it off. An honest man, a taxvayor whoso interests are here, whoso work 13 to build up and jucrease our eity’s real and ma- terial interasts can draw but one conclusion as to the motives of the men referrca to,” “1 havoe been afilicted with an affection of the throut from childhood, caused by diph- theria, and have usod various remedies, but have never found anything equal to Brown's Bronchial Troches.” -Rov.

A little daughter of Mr. William Stein was seriously, almost fatally, burned and, while sho was lying very ill, William Stein fell, hurting bis kneo luming him bady. Dr. M Clanahan hurt himself in a ' ilar w shortly ufterward, walking with "™ e aid of cruteties, A little son of William Bush fell intoa boiler of hot water and died in a th bours. These three children resided within two blocks and were all about the samo awe. A young man named Oleson was killed on the Belt lino near his home in the same neighborhood. A man by the name of York residing in the neighborhood ~spraived s anklo badly while working in East Omaba, and on Wednosday evening last a son of 5. J.
