GENERAL MANAGERS MEET.
Some of the Subjects They Will Dis
CHSi This Week.

The general managers of the various
western roads will meet in Chicago Tues
day. Several important matters will co me
up for final action. Among them will be the
question of freight charges on exhibits to the
Omaha exposition Heretofore articles for
exhibits have been conveyed free of charge.
AT recent meeting OF the roads it was de.
clded to charge q one-way rate. A commit
tee from the Exposition association filed a
protest against this, and the matter will be
passed upon Tuesday next.
Another important topic will be the right
of railroad company to fatten cattle in
transit For years the Union Pacific, and lately
the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley,
have maintained yarus near Fremont, where
cattle in transit were unloaded and allowed
food. For this little favoritlsm the railroad
companies charge $40 extra per car for each
carload of cattle handled in this way. The
Burlington has entered protest. and claims
that the two companies must either abandon
this work or forfeit their right to the through
rate and apply the local.
The milling in transit clause, matter
which involves the Milwaukee road, will also
come up. This clause allowing milling in
transit was incorporated in the rules and
regulations, only after bitter fight being
made for it by the Milwaukee and the millers
of Minneapolis. The Milwaukee tops the
grain belt of Dakota and about IS per cent
of tue grain product of that territory is
milled at Minneapolis. Competitive lines
want the clause abrogated.

A DEPOT SITE.
"A New Move Made For n More Cen-
trail Location.

"A New Move Made For n Moro Cen.
trail Location.
A prominent citizen who has an eye to
business in railroading, concerning a site for
a union depot in Ompha, said: 81 would
suggest that the railroad companies exercise
a little Intelligence in the selection of site
for the union depot Now, have looked the
ground over carefully, and l think that the
most available site IS that bounded by
Eighteenth and Twentieth streets on the
east aud west, and Harney and Mason on the
north and south. think, taking everything
into consideration, that this is the spot where
the depot snould be built. You could have
the grand entrance fronting on Harney
treet-the building extending east and west
and then to the south of this
have your train sheds and terminal
facilities. The position of the Burlington
and Union Pacific tracks weuld have to un-
dergo but slight change. A double track
could be constructed in the form of a ''Y, t"
which would enable the turning of entire
trains Over this track all trains could enter.
Then set out Your branches, such as is the
case at the transfer in Council Bluffs.
would suggest that viaduct be constructed
along ST. Mary's avenue, extending from
Seventeenth to Twenty-second street, and
vacate the avenue and so arrange it that the
trains might pass under the vaduct:
1.-The proper site for the depot is in OF
near the business center of a city. The
Pennsylvania company only found this out
when it cost them $1,000 600 to get to the
business center of Baltimore and they even
then had to build trestle works
over the tops of houses on their right
of-way. The uncertainty of the channel Of
the Missouri river, together with the fact
that it is comparatively worthless as far as
navigation is concerned, will prevent the
building of the city in that direction. The
Tenth street site, twenty years hence, yes,
and may reduce it to ten years, will be sub
urban as far as the drift of the business is
concerned. l do not wish to discourage any
movement pointing toward the erection of
union depot but am tirln in my belief that
the site should be more centrally located"

RIGHTS OF HEIRS.
Determined in an Interesting Case
In the County Court.

In the County Court.
An interesting case was adjudicated by
Judge Shields. 1t related to the guardian
ship Of Sardius II. Brewster. In 1868 the
father of Sardius died, willing oil his, prop
erty to Sardius and his wife. Shortly be-
fore her husband died Mrs. Brewster gave
birth to another son, Ebert but no mention
was made of the new son in the will.
When that document was br ought to pro-
bate, Judge Hascall had the property divided
equally between the wife and two children.
Two years ago Mrs. Brewster died,
leaving all her property TO Ell.
bert the infant and unprovided for
in his fathers will, and Sardius Brewster
demanded that an account be given by her
executors of her stewardship of the property
which had come to her from his father. The
Judge decreed that the personal property
amounting to $500 which was Sardius' share
be allowed to the late widow for Sardius'
support up TO the time he became self-sup-
porting. The young man was allowed q
third share with interest In the following
realty;, Lot 9, block 20, sold in 1869 for
$500, his share S79333, and interest up to the
present time, sl,326 also property in Iowa
sold in 1874 for 81, 800, his share being one
third of the amount with interest.

WHAT CAUSED HIS DEATH
A Jury Ipquiring Into the Cause OF
Williams Taking or

The Inquest over the remains of Ed. Will
liams, the soldier found dead on the railroad
track near Fort Omaha, consumed the at
tenton of Coroner Drexel and jury the en-
tire day. That official is satisfied
after an exhaustive investigation of
the case that williams came to
his death through accident. But
owing to the various rumors afoat concern
ing the deceased being murdered the coroner
says that he vii, continue the sitting of the
jury until every report is sifted Ia the bot
tom.
L. G, Judson, ehsinecr, and A. G.
which is supposed to have. passed
over Williams body, were examined. Their
testimony was very meagre The former
testified that near Fort Omaha about III
o'clock he heard peculiar rattling under
the locomotive, and on stopping at the next
station, Omaha Heights, he found cock on
the under side of the locomotive knocked
off. He picked shred OF cloth
off the machinery which he believed was
a piece of oiling rag He did not see any
the front of the ash-pan was covered with
dust. He would not swear that he was
looking ahead at the point where Williams
was killed. He admitted having run over
and killed six men at various times. No
testimony of Importance was elected from
the conductor.
Pearl Brown, Emma Martyrs, Lottie
Moulton and Charley and Minnie Ford, the
tough looking crew who were arrested on
the most vague rumors, without the advice
of Chief of Detectives Mostyn, were
next examined Pearl Brown testified tc
drinking beer with Williams in Partell's
beer garden, She left for Ford's bagnio
shortly after p. M, accompanied by Mike
Mccarthy. Emma Martyrs, the saddle
colored mulatto, also drank beer with VIII
liams, but remained in the beer garden witt
Jake Reiter until after the news of Williams
death arrived
Lottie Moulton, while drunk yesterday wa:
arrested, and claimed to an officer that she
knew who killed Williams, but on her oath
she denied knowing anything about it,
The Fords testified that they were
at home the entire evening.
Ford is the negro said to be the murderer o.
Williams. He has white wife and it is sale
that he had threatened to kill Williams fol
him in the vicinity of the fort
on the night in question, and the tes
timony of four persons besides himself agree
that during the interim from the time Will
Jams was last seen to the time he was found
dead Ford was at home.
An adjournment was here taken until p
M, at which time the taking of testimony
was resumed. Nothing new was elected
the testimony being merely corroborative OF
what had been given before. Tho soldier
Hull, testified that he heard voice saying
"Don't do that" but he couldn't tell whether
it was man or woman who spoke. HI:
memory seemed to be decidedly foggy.
The inquest was adjourned until 10 a. N
Monday.
Williams was buried near the Fort witt
military honors last evening.

AMUSE Nj EN- rs.

The return of the ever-popular "Bosto-

the weather is hot, for the new Grand opera
house has been found to be very cool sum-
mer theatre. and the public will go at any
time to hear the beautiful and artistic per-
formances of this justly famous company.
The namo it was called on the Pacific coast,
"the incompatible Bostonians," )" is deserved
ly won by them, for there is in English
opera no company SO complete and so splen-
didly equipped. The versatile Marie Stone,
the superb tenor, Tom Karl, the greatest Of
couLraltos, Jessie Bartlett Davis, with the
boast of operatic comedians and the most
refined. Henry @. Barnabee, with the most
popular and delightful baritone, w. II. Mac
Donald, would alono make company of
greatest strength; but included in the per-
sonel of tho company are so many
other charming artists, notably Juliette Cor
den. who has made great success every
where with her rich vocal gifts and artistic
methods OF using them; Carlotta Maconda,
the lovely young soprano, who has made
rapid progress with this company this sea-
son and has future of rare promise; Louise
Bianchi and Josephine Bartlett, artists of
sterling worth, and most successful in their
various roles OF the male contingency, the
names of Edwin w. Hoff, the charming lyric
tenor, and Eugene Cowles, the very success
ful young basso stand out as artists OF rare
promise and great popularity.
George Frothingham, so long identified
with the SUCCESSES of the company, is again
a prominent name among them, and in his
own field OF eccentric comedy parts he has
made always the greatest success. The box
office will open at 9 a. m. tomorrow for the
sale of reserved seats.

The Mercer Musicale.

An elegant musicale was given at the res
idencc of Dr. Mercer Tuesday evening for
the benefit of the Burt street home for des-
titute woment. The greatest care had been
exercised in the selection of musical num-
bers, and the 200 people from the highest so
cial circles of the city who encouraged the
charitable movement by their presence and
dollars, were delighted with the entertain
ment given. The beautiful home was bril-
lantly lighted, and the spacious lawn was
made almost as light as day with electric
lights. The participants in the programme
were Miss Marion Chase, Miss Roeder, MIR.
B. b. Young, and the Mandolin club. The
accomplishments were played by Mrs. B. B.
Young and Miss w. Lowe The singers
were all accorded their proper need OF en-
thusiastic applause. The first number was
rendered at $780, and so pleasing were the
various selections that all regretted that the
programme was not longer, although it con-
sumed two hours in Its rehearsal. So sue
cessful was the entertainment that the per-
sons having it in charge may probably give
another later in the season.
