FEARS OF

Some of the eastern papers are OK.
pressing fears that another great
panic is impending, They base their
opinion upon the increase of failures,
the strlngency of the Toney market,
the speculative fever in stocks and
the amount of money which has been
sunk in railroad construction and ex-
tension during the past three years,
The history of the panic of 1873 and
the cause which preceded 1t are re.
ferred to in support of the current
dread OF an impending financial crisis,
and business men as well as specula.
tors are warned that they are
standing upon a smouldering volcano
which Is likely to burst at any me.
ment into a deetruct..s c-uption.
While it cannot be denied that there
are good grounds for caution when the
signs Of thetimesare examined, the best
financial authorities are not at all
agreed that the condition of trade and
the stock market furnish q sufficient
basis for the near approach of another
financial collapse. The record of fail
urea itself, when scanned closely, Il
an assurance that the general cours,
OF trade is running smoothly on /,
sounder basis than might have beef
expected Most of the assignment
noted have been made by firms VIII,
either ventured outside of legitimat,
trade methods or sought to increas
their business unduly at the expens
of their capital: The wholesale cor
traction of credits by the largo
houses, and the tendency to stop tn
! practice OF post dating time bill
l which has sprung up in the course c
heavy competition, are favorable to
postponement of the crAAh which {
many expect.
Speculation In stocks has fallen yer
Omaha daily bee., 1883-01-08

much more largely than ever before
into a few hands. There are no evil
dences that the fever has infected
business men generally. A COMPARE
son of the list with that Of a year ago
shows, hat the market is lower and
thatthe securities of purely speculative
enterprises are going begging for in
v%estors. So long as speculation can
be confined to the great spectators,
and the general business public do not
concern themselves with 1t, Wall
street will not s~eriously disturb the
financial condition of the country.
Provided also that good crops afford
sufficient traffic for tho railroads to
earn interest on their indebtedness
and to declare dividends on their
watered stocks.
The recklessness of much Of the
railroad building during the past year
is admitted. There is, however, this
difference between the construction OF
the past twelve months and that pre-.
ceding the panic of 1873, that a large
portion of the lines lately built
will become Immediately productive,
either as extensions to or as
feeders of existing dividend paying
properties. 1t Is not 30 much the
heavy extension as it is the dishonest
construction of railroads that Is tap
ping the surplus wealth of the coun-
try, and turning the money Of inves-
tors and the earnings of the people
into the pockets of the construction
rings.
One element of the present strin-
gency of the times must not be for.
gotten, and that is the e%xorbitant
national taxation, which Is piling up
a disastrous surplus of millions of
dollars monthly in the national treas.
ury. Prompt and radical action by
congress on the question OF tariff re-
form will do much to relieve the
country from the weight under which
it is o staggering, and to postpone
to a late day the panic which some are
now SO much d~reading.

Fig hting the New Bridge.

Msrshalltowr, Ia Times Republican.
The Union Pacific railroad Is all
torn up over the project now being
discussed In congress providing for the
building of another bridge across the
Missouri river at Council Bluffs. Ia.
der the Law as it is now the Union
Pacific is alleged not to be longer en-.
titled to make any charges for the use
Of the bridge except such as will cover
the cost Of maintaining it. But the
monopoly which it has is put TO the
very practical purpose of perpetuating
it's lease of the grant from the public,
by that mysterious means which, iu
Congress, is so potent and yet 20
silent. Ii Is Just barely possible that
when there is u law passed that any
lobbyist caught In Washington or
writing to or conversing with a men,
Der Of congress or government Off
clal, shall suffer the penalty of death
and have ell of his property seques.
tered; there may be some attention
paid to the desires Of the public in

themselves 30 numerous around con-
gress for the good of themselves and
the everlasting damnation Of the
ooantry. The notion suggests
itself to Us as the result of the infor-
nation that the Union Pacific lobby
is on hand fighting the new bridge
project with all its might and main.
1t is extremely probable that the
bloated corporations will come cut
ahead, although there will not be o
man in the country who will be able
to see why capitalists who so desire
should not be authorized to put their
money into a new bridge But if they
have to invest as much money In get
ting the matter through congress as it
will cost to build the bridge, the
probability is that they will not be
likely to invest.

A CORRESPONDENT referring to THE
BEES comments upon the advance in
prices at the opera house when the
best class Of singers and actors appear
on its boards, calls attention to the
fact that the scale of prices at Bnyd's
is less than that charged at any other
first class theater in the country. He
says that at Wsllscks, the Union
Square and the Standard In New
York, at Haverly's and McVickcr's in
Chicago, and at Bsldwin's in San
Francisco tho universal price for the
beat seats is 81. 90, while at our own
theater Sl.00 Is the highest sum
ordinarily charged. THE BEE has no
intention of doing Mayor Boyd or
any one else any injustice In this mat.
ter. 1t expressly stated In its discus.
sion of the question that the increased
cost Of seats was q matter which lay
outside of the province Of the legal
managers and that In every instance
where a contract was under considera.
ton the matter simply resolved itself
into the question whether the attrac-
ton should appear at the increased
prices or whether they should pas,
Omaha by and play else where. So
long as people are willing to pay the
advanced rates theatrical agents will
continue to charge them, and local
arrangements will have no alternative
but to accept the situation or refuse
the company. Omaha Is q liberal
patron OF the drama, and Mr.. Boya's
enterprise in erecting aud maintain.
ing n of the handsomest houses il
the country has afforded her the OPP
portunity during the past six months
of seeing many of the finest stars on

sprinkl'ng Of foreign singers.

A Fatal Accident.

A shocking accident occurred on
Tuesday last at the home of MIR. A. J..
Crossley, living about seven or eight
miles north-eas of this city. Mrs.
Grossly, a fleshy woman of about 10
years of age, was sitting on her chair
knitting, with the right foot resting
on a small stool, and her son, ayoung
man, sitting in a fronting obi q 10
direction about six or eight feet away
with a double barrel muzzle loading
shot gun lying across his knees, and
unfortunately pointing toward Mrs.
Grossly, which he was wiping off. A
younger son having seen the action of
breechloading guns, remarked the gun
would break like a breechloader, and
the elder brother replied that it would
not, and proceeded to illustrate his
reply by raising the hammers, &C., as
the gun lay acros his knees. The
hammer of n barrel slipped from
his fingers and discharged the con
tents of the barrel, a load of 18 or 20
No. 2 shot, the whole charge
striking Mrs. Grossly square
ly in front of the right
leg about six inches below the knee,

inches In diameter, then passing out.
ward lodging in the feshy part Of the
upper third of the thigh. The gun
was 80 close that the oh largo of shot
did not scatter but lodged in a mass.
This occurred about 8 O'Clock In the
morning and about 8 O'Clock of the
evening of the same day Mrs. Grossly
was delivered of perfectly
formed child. Then about noon
of the next day the operation of
amputatipg the wounded limb was per.
formed by unjointing it at the knee
Joint leaving the thigh bone entire.
Thus in the short space of about
twenty-eight hours Mrs. Grossly went
through a combination of occurrences
which altogether make up a case with
out a parallel in surgical history. At
last reports she was doing as we'll as
could be expected; her health the past
year has been of rather deli safe ma.
ture, Drs. Dildine and Northrup, of
this city, were in attend ,nce.

The Omaha Herald says that any

THE FLOODS.

AAN
The close Of the year 1882 and the
opening of the present year have been
rendered memorable by a succession
of remarkable inundations unprece-
denied in the history Of Europe.
Hardly an European country has been
unvisited by the universal deluge
Beginning in the latter part Of Novem-
Der by heavy rains and tremendous
floods in Baden and other parts of
Germany, the stormy weather ccntln-
ued unbroken until the close Of the
year. Early in December France was
laid under a rushing torrent Of
water. The Seine was 80 swollen
that boats were prevented from
passing IN Ter the principal bridges
of Paris. A large part of the city
was flooded, the sewerage system be.
came practically imperative and the
whole subsoil of the city was com.
pletely soaked. The Rhine and
Rhone also o~veriowed their banks
aud great restitution and distres, pre-.
vailed among the poorer classes many
of whom were driven from their
homes to suffer in dependence upon
strangers, On the rest of the CONT
nent rain continued to fall until about
a week before Christmas when q gen.
eral deluge set in. Torrents of rain
descended in Germany, Austria and
eastern France. The rivers COM
menced to rise gradually at first, but
soon with a rapidity that ava.
kened widespread alarm. In
France the eastern and southern
provinces were flooded. Lyons and
Besancon were seriously damaged, and
several small towns along the Rhone
were inundated. The floods In Ger.
many and Austria were phenomenal.
The Rhine and Danube rose to an as
tonishing height, and with a rapidity
which one can scarcely conceive. At
Cologne it rose two metres, OIL morethan
seven feet in q day and one-half, and
during a single night, ninety centime-
tree, or three feet. The Danube flooded
large part of Upper Austria, and Sc
rious alarm was felt at Vienna, lest
that city should have to pass through
the d~isagresable experience of Paris,
The Neckar rose higher than in No.
vember, and reached its highest
point during this century. In Baden
a bridge was swept away, carrying
with il twenty persons. Altogether,
it is estimated that fifty lives were
lost by the f pods. Meantime In De-
cember England was completely buried
in snow, and the storm ia described as
violent almost beyond belief. Travel
of all kind was impeded, the Scotch
expresses were abandoned, the coast
was ravaged with a furious hur.
~ricane, and the ports were
crowded with dismantled shipping.
In Wales a railway train was com
pletely buried under the snow. As 1t
did not arrive at Its destination a
party of hor-emen with shovels and
other implements were sent to hunt it.
1t was found under a drift sixteen
feet deep. The passengers had been
confined t wenty-four hours without
FIRE, air or food, and when released
were almost dead from cold. Another
train was blocked in sne of the noun
tain regions of Scotland, and work
men were obliged to clear the track
for a distance of five miles before it
could proceed. All authorities agree
ir saying that such a series of storms
aid floods has not bsen known in the
century.
