Lixcois, Neb,, Sept. 24 ial to Tae £E.] —Another cause for delay in the con- triction of the new Rock Island route hrough this city deveioped today Last ummer, when the Rock Island applied to be city council for permission to cross O treet at grade, the ordinance met with bit v opposition from various interc fo the city. and especially from the osideuts of Fast Lincoln, who would of Eaccuuv bo compelled to cross the rail- ond tracks on their way to apd trom the ustness part ot the city. When the agita- Yion of the matter was at its height, the Lin- poln Street Raillway company stepped in ana socured an injunction restraining the Rock J#land from crossiue O strrot at grade. Not- Withstanding the opposition, however, the @ity council passed the ordinance introduced n behalf of the Rock Island. Since that ime the company bus goue ahead, secured ¥ight of way through thbo city, let the con- tracts for the constructiou of the rosd and 8lso received bids for the crection of the new passenger acpot at Twentieth and O streets. The ivjunction secured by the street rail- way company had never been argued vefore the aistrict court., Several dates lor the bearing were set and each linie a postpouc- ment was securea by one side or the other. The matter was tohave been brought up before Judge Hall tnis moruing, but & new aifficully presented itself in the shape of an application of Heury B. Lewis, president of the Lincoln Savings bauk, who asked leave 10 fntervene and for time in which to prepare Bus afMdavits. He filed a petition in which he alleges that 0 is a resident of Bast Lincoln, and that in rder o get Lo bis place of business each day 0 will be compelled to cross the tracks of ho defendant company. This. he msserts, will cause hiw great inconvenience and lcss of ime, not to sdy angthing about danger to ifeand [imo. He furtber alleges thutethe defendani company can, at a slightly in- reased expense, depress or elevate its racks and thus avoid ali cause for complaint. n order togive him time toprepare further sMidavits, Judge Hull conuuued the cuse until October 17. Fighting Over Five Children, An intercsting legal conflict over the pos- ession of five youug children has been Raking ploco in Judge Lausini's coutt this week. Tue children were orphans and are {nmates of the Tabitha bome in this city. Bome time ago a Mrs. Hodges, a sister of the bilaren, secured possession of twoof them nder a slight protext aud when tne authori ties of tho bome demanded their return Mrs. Hodees refused her consent. She then went into the probate court and secured the #ppointment of guardian over all five of them, but when she went to the home and de- anded ber wards the ofiicers ut the home fused to permit tuem to leave. This brought the matter into court. The woman claimed that the childreu were poorly fed and clad at the home, but the facts in the easedid Lot seem to substantiute her story. ©On the otner hand tho officials of the home laimed that Mrs. Hodges was unable to [ port the children, having a large family nf{mr own and that she wanted them to en- gage in the profession of begging. The court decided thatthe children should remain &t the home. Insane and From Omaha. F. B. Soloman, & man apparently about 45 gears old, was locked up this morning on the Ccharge of iusanity.

Re and Results, Tenry George has made himself famous by drawing attention to the fact that land advances in price as popula tion thickens, entailing a constantly in- creasing expenfliture upon tenants and bringing a correspondingly augmented income to landlords, Long before the appearance of Mr. George this fact was clearly discerned by the American pub- lic. \What remedy have they sought? Has it been the coniiscation of ground rents by a tax, state or federal? What has been done is bettor illustrated in Mr. George’s native city of Philadelphia than anywhere else in the union, says the New York Sun. In Philadelphia, through building associations, some 60,000 families are housed in homes of their own. UY be- coming their own tenants they have captured the ‘‘unearred increment” which would have gove to the landlord. Building associatiens on the Philadel- phia plan have sprung up, too, ali over the country, and are organized into a league, of which Seymour Dexter of Elmira, N. Y., is president. Hoe esti- mates the total number of such associa- tions in the United States at 6,000 and their unnual income at $180,000,000. These concerns have not avisen at the instigation of reformers, but owe their birth and success to ordinary men who have seen how a |bupilding association enables them to save an outlay which year by year tends steadily to grow. When'a ‘mechanic or clerk has com- mitted himself to paying, say, #4 to §5 toward the purchase of a house the thrift which at first is & necessity soon settles into a babiy, and in from ten to fifteen years, with np sense of depriva- tion, he finds himself rent-free. many asssciations include a life insur- ance feature, 80 thut if a married man dies bofore he has fully paid for his house his widow is freed from the debt and receives a clear title to the prop- erty. A?no\her evil which has distressed reformers is that the poor in cities have not only to pay rents which steadily increase, but that they have to oceupy tenements too crowded for comfort. This evil, too, is finding its abatement at the hands of men not of sentiment, but of business, who see gain in suppl. ing & want. The devisers and managers of elevated and electric railroads, the hassenger agents of trunk lines, active u developing their local train seryice, are scattering as fast as they can over wide suburban areas the millions who would otherwise stifle in city streets, Often the same capital which furnishes quick and cheap transit is interested in selling the building lot tracts bought by the acre. This insures a much better railroad service than if one sut of men owned the railroads and another set owned the territory it serves. Within the past few years there has Spontaneous its Beneficial A good | been an immense muitiplication of the country vacations which city people enjoy. This, and the enormous expan- sion’ of the excursions, which twenty years &go were rare and costly, hus come about through the enterprise of the managers of steamboat and railroad lines. It has been found that there is more profit in moving a thousand people at a low fare than a hundred at o high one. RS e e A PAPYRUS MANUSCRIPT. Discovery In of an Ancient Copy of the Old Tes 3 At the International Orientist Con- gress held in London a most interesting document was submitted by Prof. Hechler, chaplain ot the British Em- bassy at Vienna,a distinguished orienta- list. The document referred to is a papyrus manuscript discovered a few months ago in Kgypt, and is supposed by some authorities to be the oldest copy extant of portions of the old testament books of Zachariah and Malachi. These pages of papyrus, when intact, were about 10 inches high and 7 inches wide, each containing twonty-eight lines for writing, both sides of the sheet being used. The complete line contains from fourteen to seventeen letters. The sheets are bound together in the form of a book, in |])r1milivu though careful manover, with cord and strips of old parchment. The Greek of this docu- meut is written without intorvals be- tween the words, a custom observed both in old Greek and old Hebrew manuscripts. The papyrus is in fair preservation, and is Lc\iuvml to date from the third or fourth century. It thus ranks in age with the oldest Greek manuscripts of the Septuagint version of the old testamert in London, Rome and St. Petersburg. The differences in this papyrus tend to the conclusion that it was copied from some original Septuagint bible, which was first translated about the y 280 B. C. for the use of the Hellenistic Jews in Egypt, who having gradually forgotten the Hebrew tongue had learn- ed 1o speak the Greek. The first exami- nation has shown that]it has several new readings which surpuass some of the other Septuugint texts in clearness of expression and simplicity of grammar. It would also appear that It was copied from another Septuagint bible and was not written, as was frequently the case, from dictation. A second scribe has oceasionally corrected some wistakes of orthograpliy made by the original copyist. These are still to be distinguished by the different color of the iuk. This manu- seript is deemad of such im- portance that the London Times de- voted three-quarters of a full page to printing fac similes of two of the an- cient sheets and a translation of their contents. The pages; presented were from Zachariah, xii., 2.6, and as print- ed in the Times read as follows, the subject matter becoming divided in verses, as does not appear in the original: 2 Nations roundabout, and in Judea there shall be a seige against Jerusalem. 3. And it shall come pass in that day KypL 1 will make Jerusalem a stone trodden ] overy tramples on it, mocking, is mocked, and down to all the nation: there shall be gathered against it all the nations of the earth. saith the Lord lite every horse with 4.

And it shall come to pass in that d delend inhabitants of Jorusalem, and tho ones among them in that duy shall bo as day the Lord shall Dayid. A comparison of these the verses in the latest v old testament will divergence of language. Prof. Hechler, in his rema this invaluable manuseript, said it was hoped that this sincerly to be valuable papyrus of the bible, the oldest now known to exist, soon be published the careful scholars. in fac exumiuation of and selontific s It was i prises might be in treasures might Lo placed at posal of modern scholarship, e Genems of vented and the name applied Elizabeth Flanagan, the Irish wife of who died during the he then became s sutler and followed the troop of Virginia horse which in 1779 wintered at the Four ners, between White Plains und Tarry- town, in Westchester county, N Betsey Flanagan set up a hotel which the American und French officers frequented.
