Iron THE BEES LINCOLN RUuEAul

IRON THE BEES LINCOLN BUnEAu.l
The Northwestern road has practically
reached Lincoln. Yesterday the laying of
iron had reached the city limits and force
of men were at work with the plIe-driver on
the banks of the Antelope, near the state fair
grounds, commencing on the second track
from that point into the city. A prominent
man in the building of the Northwestern
stated to reporter yesterday that the con-
struction train would land at the Missouri
Pacific depot the first days of the week, and
that before November Chicago and Lincoln
through trains would be running over the
new line. While the Northwestern is one of
four distinct railway systems, and the last
OF the number in reaching the city, ii is the
second through line from Chicago under one
corporation that has reached Lincoln. Chi
cago Is the great eastern centre, and while
the Union Pacific through pools have given
Lincoln n second railway connection with the
east, the fact remains that the Northwestern
is the second road to have a continuous line
of steel rails between the two places. This
is why, presumably, that prominent whole
saler remarked yesterday that the North
western road meant more TO the capital city
than all the rest, since the first coming of the
B. X NJ, and the expectancy afloat now is
that the Missouri river rate pool in so far as
Lincoln Is concerned, must 20 under, and the
discrimination that ships freight to
of nahsaS Jnco&n & Foh iesago, ess rate tSay way
the same freight Is allowed to stop at Lin
coin must go and 60 speedily. The perni-
slous effects OF such outrageous pools as that
9lll sometimes press upon community until
Sorbearance ceases to be a virtue, and the
Northwestern, If not hide bound and selfish,
ought to see far enough to recognize that
Ihereis brilliant opening for it to do justice
10 Lincoln at once and gain good Will that
will stay with 1t.
INDICTMENTS IN COURT.
The grand jury seems to be industrious
if the balance OF the court does grind slow
ly," said a court official yesterday, and he
pointed to the long roll of indictments as
confederation of his statement. These in
dictments each premise trial, and the GRIM
inal docket, with the assistance of the grand
jury, Is sufficient in length to furnish
months work. Among the later indictments
handed down Is one against James Mclntee,
charging him with murder in the second de-
gree. This is the case that created so much
interest and attention the past summer, the
particulars OF which were given fully at the
time and which related that Mclntee, by
cruel and unnatural abuse, caused the death
OF his daughter, who died after months Of
suffering. Among the additional indict-
ments are three for house breaking and rob-
berry cases that came up at state fair time,
when the officers did such valiant service
that nearly every one OF the offenders were
nabbed and put in Jail for District
plementing this good work already done by
bringing in the proper indictments, which
VIII nail the offenders to the proper punish
sternatlOn in South Lincoln by the free use
of tire arms pointed at nelghbors when dis
charged, has had his hearing in the grand
jury room, and an Indictment followed the
hearing. Several more parties are having
their hearing to-day and the grand jury will
probably continue over TO the coming week.
