Messrs. Speice & North, real es-
tate agents of this city, have done
an excellent thing in preparing for
sale splendid map of the county
showing the location of all the
towns, farms, SC. 1t may be set
down as absolutely correct, in all
important particulars. W. l..
Wright of Omaha is the draughts-
man, and the photographers, August
Gass & Co. of st. Louis. The work
on the map is done in the
best of style, and one of these, hand
somely mounted, should adOrn the
walls of every farmhouse and office
in the county. We find it very val
liable for reference, and have had
ours but few days. We hope that
while these gentlemen will feel as
sured that they have done a public
good, they will have purchasers
enough for their very handsome
map to justify them in still further
ventures in this line. Sold by

The A. Il n. having been leased
to the B. & NJ. for 900 years, and the
b. 4 M. having been consolidated
with or merged into the G. b. & O.,
it may now be taken for granted,
with reasonable assurance, that we
are to have, in the language of friend
Coffin, an ever-enduring competing
line. II seems to be the design of
this huge corporation to extend its
lines westward across the continent,
with lateral branches to every i'm
portant place. Columbus will soon
be connected with the trunk line
Central City and Kearney are
already connected; Fremont is ap-
pealing for lateral, and recently it
is said that a branch will be run
from the north end of the Platte
river bridge near Columbus, to
Schuyler. Evidently, whatever
projects lie hid from present view,
the G.. b. Il q. are extending their
lines into this section of Nebraska
with the intent of strengthening
their strongholds, and getting a
considerable share of the business.
The Columbus journal., 1880-04-28

There seems, so far, to be no
response to the call for the organi-
zation of ali independent political
party (so-called) in this county.
What are the brethren about2 Why
don't they show their heads in the
arena? Come out. There is a
bright prospect for the man who
shall proye to be not too ambitious,
who will lead q middle column,
ready to throw its influence, its
votes, now on the Republican side,
now on the Democratic, with a
listening ear toward each, and also
an open hand extended each way.
To he effective, however, this mid
die column should contain at least
two hundred votes which can be
thrown solidly to any point. 1t has
long been cause for wonder to us
that some bold, bad man has not
heretofore essayed to play this role
in Platte county politics.

riot Held.

The theme of local conversation
last week was the trial for alleged
poisoning instituted by c. II. Young
against l.. Cockburn. The hearing
before Police Judge, g. q. Bowman,
took place on Friday aud Saturday,
at the City Hall. The counsel for
the prosecution were S. S. and VIM.
McAllister, and for the defence, j.
e. Higgins and NJ. Whitmoyer. The
case was ably conducted on both
sides, showing skill in the examina-
ton of witnesses and in the hrgu-
ment. Although we took pretty
complete notes of the hearing, we
do not consider it worth while to
give the testimony at length. 1t will
be remembered, as stated by the
JOURNAL last week, that il was
alleged by the prosecution that Cock
burn gave q package of sugar to
Young which contained Il quantity
of corrosive sublimate.
According to Young's testimony
the sugar that he took, coming from
the sack, produced bad effects upon
himself, and afterwards, upon being
administered to some domestic ami
mails, either sickened or killed them.
The sugar was received on the oath
of last November, and he claims to
have been diligently trying ever
since to get an analysis by cOmpe-
tent chemists to show the exact
amount of poison contained in the
sugar.
Prof. Aughey OF Lincoln was put
upon the stand for this purpose and
testified that if the corrosive subli-
mate had been distributed uniform
ly It would have taken 1000 ounces
or l25 pounds of the sugar to con-
tain enough of the poison to produce
death. 1t is only justice to the
prosecution to say that they did not
know beforehand, and had no inti-
nation as to what the testimony of
the professor would be, and it chang
ell materially their presentation of
the case, necessitating them TO adopt
the theory that the poison was put
upon the sugar at the top of the bag,
and that what was sent the professor
was not nearly so strongly impreg-
mated with the poison. There was
no evidence adduced to show mali
ciousneSs on the part of the accused
toward the prosecuting witness, and
none 10 prove that he had anything
to do with putting the poison into
the sngar--if any had been put in.
The judge, in rendering his decis-
ion, said that he didn't from the
evidence see any probable cause for
believing the accused guilty of the
offence charged.
