Cut Rates Themselves.

CHICAGO, April "a rumor is current In
railroad circles that the Ohio Il Mississippi,
and the Baltimore IL Ohio roads were to-day
quoting a rate IS cents on wheat from St.
Louis to the seabOard, which is equivalent to
II cents from Chicago, or a cut of cents.
A week or more ago the Baltimore II Ohio
asked Commissioner Fink TO make the rate
from Chicago II cents, and as he has not
done so, it is supposed the management of
that road grew tired of waiting.

THE SPORTS.
THE CHAMPION CHALLENGED.

I hereby challenge VIII II. Daniel to skate
me contest on roller skates, the rules adop-
ted by the American Congress for Ice Skate
to govern, for 500 side, at any time with
in two weeks. Each contestant to select a
judge, and the two judges referee whose
decision will be final. The match to take
place in any rink mutually agreed upon.
Should Mr.. Daniels engagements be such
that he will be unable to skate the match
while here, will defray his railroad fare
from any reasonable distance to Minneapolis
or st. Paul. Mr.. Daniel claims to be the
champion roller skater of America This has
never been contested for on roller skates and
therefore there can be no champion. My
previous efforts to meet Mr.. Daniel in Des
Moines were of no avail, he offering as an eX-
cuse that the rink was too small There can
now be no valid reason why Mr.. Daniel
should refuse to meet me in a contest if he
wishes to substantiate his boashtul title as
champion of America

Knelling The Old Year.
New York special.


The close of the year witnessed re-
markable scene in lowerl Broadway,
At midnight fifty thousand people sur
ged around Old Trinity church to hear
the chimes ring in the new year. AL
the streets near the church, for dis
lance OF several blocks, were packed
with people. The elevated cars came
down near midnight damned full and
running over with people. passengers
sat on the car roofs. As the bell COM
menced to toll the midnight hour the
rash assemblage was hushed, and as
the last stroke of the deep-toned bell
knelled the departing year, a breath
less silence reigned for few seconds,
only to be broken by the sweet and
plaintive melody of the chimes, which
played regular programme. For the
next two or three hours pandemonium
reigned supreme. The ringing of bells,
the whistling of tugs aud ferry beats,
The footing of horns, and the firing of
pistols formed a conglomeration of in
harmonious discord that lasted until
the crowd gradually dispersed.

THE ARMSTRONG CASE.
The Arguments Concluded and the Case
Given to the Jury-The Defendants
Acquitted.

Special to the Omaha Republican.
YORK, Neb., January 10.-The argu-
ment to the jury in the Gilmore-Armstrong
case closed to-day at II O'Clock. Henry
Clay Dean failed to put in an appearance at
court this morning, and Judge Vermillion,
of Iowa, closed for the state. Mr.. Dean
claimed to be seriously sick, but the people
generally believe that he saw the prosecu-
on was defe ated by the evidence. Judge
Thurston, for the defense, made the best
speech of his life, and was loudly applaud
ed by the audience at Its close. The case
was given to the jury at noon, and the belief
is general that Walter will be acquitted,
while John may receive light sentence.
LATER-Walter and John Gilmore, on
trial for the murder of w. II. Armstrong,
were acquitted. Armstrong was Walters
law. The feud was caused by the
elopement Of the young people.

How he Took It.


An old country darby, who was
driving small meek-looking steer to a
cart few days ago, was hailed on one
of our streets by an enthusiastic DEM
ocrat with: s'Hello there uncle!''
Hating his team. he inquired with a
puzzled-look: "Who me, boss?" eyes
you. They are all ready for you
"What is boss?''he asked hesitatingly
approaching the speaker. "Those
Readjusters. They are all up in the
Capitol Square, and l want you to
haul 'em out into the country and bury
'em." A comical smile slowly spread
over the old mans face as he replied
''Boss faint no use to send me after
EN-" Then bursting into genuine
African haw-haw, he added. Boss, at
ter l voted agin dem readjusters in old
Hanover, l amt seen nary one sence!"
He may have been lying and playing a
deep game for a quarter, but as he
drove off, after having slipped one in
bis pocket, he chuckled all the way
down the street.

A BROKEN RAIL,
A Decidedly Serious Accident on the o. q
II. v. II. II.

4
One of the most serious railroad
accidents that has occurred for long time
in this part Of the country was that which
took place between 10 and IL O'Clock yester-
day, on the line of the o. & r. ", about
three miles east of Valparaiso, and about
seventy miles south of this city. 1t was Sc
rious only in the nature Of the accidents it
self and the number OF persons who re-
ceived injuries, but not in any fatality or
even dangerous hurts to the passengers.
The train was the regular passenger which
leaves Lincoln each morning, arriving in
OmahaIat 1858 p. m. She left Lincoln on
time, with an engine, two coaches, baggage
car and mail car.
| After leaving Valparaiso. there is an ascen-
| ding grade about four miles long and the
train was proceeding up this at rate of not
exceeding passenger, says, fifteen miles an
hour. The conductor had passed through
| the train after leaving the station and had
| just turned about to go back to the smoker,
| when the first indications of trouble were
| perceived and they had then nearly reached
| the top of the summit. All at once there
was peculiar jar caused by the putting on
of the air brakes. The conductor was
| thrown forward on the run, and all at once
| the coaches were lifted from the track as if
by some powerful hand and were set down
at the foot of the enbankment, about eight
feet below the track where the two turned
over on their side. The baggage car was
also overturned and the mail car all off ex.
cept the front trucks.
Several physicians were soon on the scene
of the accident. It was found upon exam
ination that the following persons had been
injured:
Mrs. Day Mills, Marshall, Iowa, injured
on left side and one of her children injured
about the head.
Mrs. May Bushnell, David City, left ear
lacerated and left side of face bruised.
Will A. McCutcheon, travelling for the

GOODBYE.

January Century.
We say 1t for an hour or for years:
We say it smiling, say it choked with tears;
We say it coldly, say it with kiss:
And yet we have no other word than this, -
Goodbye.
we have no dearer word for our theart's
friend,
For him who journeys to the world 3 far
end.
And sears our soul with going; thus we say,
As unto him who steps but Ger the way
Goodbye.
Alike 10 those we love and those we hate.
We say no more in parting. At life's gate,
TO him who passes out beyond Earth Is
sight,
We cry as to the wanderer for night,
Goodbye.

! didn't he say where he was going?''
she asked, wonderingly, for Mr.. Skinner
never went out on Sundays without his
family.
she said he was going where he'd
have more peace" said little Harry
Skinner.
"Well, we won't wait dinner for
him." said his wife, and they sat down
, to eat.
But spell seemed to have fallen upon
them, and when the dinner was over
and cleared away, and they were in the
sitting-room with their books, there
was q sense of dreary loss, and Mrs.
Skinner sat with the Bible open on her
lap, and wondered why he had gone
out and remembered that he had looked
queer.
1t was in consonance with her habits
! of living that she got up in the middle
of these speculations to catch wander
ing and belated fly and induce him to
be annihilated.
"Strange!" she said, as it grew dark
"I'll take the children and 60 down to
his mothers and see if he is there, and
and if he is, I'll just give him piece of
my mind"
But he was not there, and his mother
said Lot had looked badly the last time
she saw him, and she thought he seemed
worried; hoped it wasn't business
troubles.
No, it wasn't business troubles; Mrs.
Skinner knew that, and she began to
wonder if she had cleaned her
husband out of his mind. 1t came
over her with sudden force that she
had been in the habit of driving him
from pillar to post at railroad speed
and at the end of a broom or dust brush.
He actually found no rest for the sole
of his foot in his own house. 1t might
have worked upon his nervous system
until he had become suddenly insane.
Horrible thought. He might have
committed suicide.
She hurried home with the children
All was gloom. She went to his bureau
to look for his razor. 1t was the only
firearms he possessed it was gone.
Then Mrs. Springer broke down and
cried, and the children cried, and it
was indeed scene of desolation, when
suddenly the door of that horrible par
lor opened, and an apparition-no, it
was Mr.. Skinner himself stood before
them, looking very sheepish.
81 oversight myself" he said in a
meek, apologize tone, looking at the
clock.
81 should say you did," answered
his wife, ''and the dinner is all eaten
up, but I'll fix you up something nice,"
and she went out, taking the children
with her,
How much of it Mr.. Skinner ever
knew it is impossible to say, but there
was an immediate and satisfactory
change that at first surprised and then
delighted him. He could lay down
anywhere when he was tired and his
wife would throw shawl over him and
leave him in peace. He has even been
seen to lie down on the sofa in the par
lor where he took his Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep, and nobody disturbed him. Mrs.
Skinner was at heart a woman of sense,
and whed she realized that one hair of
that grizzly-gray head was worth more
than all the pillow-shams in the world
to her, she put the last one away in the
company of demented assortment of
tides. And they are really
and truly, and not in any geological
sense, "happy family" now de-
troit Free Press.
