REvERsIoN OF TITLE.
Suit Against the Union Pacific For Il
Recovery of Decided Lands.

Suit Against the Union Pacific For the
Recovery of Decided Lands.
OMAHA, Neb,, Jan. sc. G.-Preparations
have been made to bring suits against
the Union Pacific railroad to recover
property valued at over 81, 600, 900. The
city of Omaha will be the plaintiff in
the cases. The property in question
consists of lots and lands decided in 1868
to the railroad company by the city
and accretions to the lands caused by
the changing of the course of the Mis-
souri, river. 1t is claimed that the com
pany has failed to carry out the pro-
visions included in the grant, and that
as consequence the title should revert
to the city. A portion-of the land in
question has been sold by the railroad
to the American Waterworks Co., and
is now occupied by the latter's pump
stations and reservoirs. Many of the
lots in question are now occupied by
wholesale business houses, and are
very valuable.

1.-THE Autobiography and Personal
"reminiscences of Maj. Gen. Benjamin
F. Butler" has been issued. In his
preface the general gives as one
reason for the publication, ito COR
rect much of wrong done to myself by
a prejudiced Misrepresentation of facts
and circumstances as to my own acts
in the service of my country" The
author expressed the hope that he
may live long enough to answer any
misstatements hereafter made against
its subject matter. He maintains, with
documents, his position taken in the
controversy over the conduct of the
late Adm. Porter at New Orleans
and declares that the latter acted
badly through the whole transaction
of the capture and surrender OF the
fort He also charges Adm. Porter
and the latter's subordinates with fail
ure of the powder boat plan at Fort
Fisher. He brands as utterly false the
charge of Gen. W. F. Smith that Grant
was drunk before Petersburg and criti-
cises Smith severely.

GENERAL MANAGER A1NsLEE, of the
Wisconsin Central, said recently: 81
am not able to give you information of
definite character, but 1 think that
we shall run trains on the Wisconsin
Central by electric power before the
Columbian exposition is over. The
discoveries of the uses to which cleo
tricity can be put, and its adaptability
to moving trains are far ahead of what
is generally supposed. AS to the North
ern Pacific properties, Mr.. Willard has
had personal charge of all it's matters,
and he alone can give out the results.
I think you will find, however that
some of the three great electrical COM
panies-the Edison, the Westinghouse
and the Thomson -Houston-will Fl make
public some surprising developments
at an early day."

AT the trial at Vienna of the fiend
Schneider and his wife for the murder
of eight servant girls, the wretch volun-
teered to tell how the murders were
committed and dramatically went
through the blood curdling perform
ance. He showed how he used to seize
the struggling victims by the breasts
with his left hand and with his power
full right hand clutch them by the
throat and thus strangle the poor
creatures. In concluding his confess
sion he said that he had not killed the
first woman he had robbed because he
had not at that time the practice
in the method of strangling which he
afterward acquired.

IN the italian senate Signor Luzzati,
minister of the treasury, recently said
that although the country endured the
new taxes with resignation, the pres
ent system of economics must be
steadily upheld. The monetary ques-
ton had not reached an acute stage.
1t was the period of the renewal of the
Latin union. The question greatly ex-
cited America on account of her inn
perfect system. The Washington gov
ernment must come to some resolution
in order to avoid injury from the cir
culation of silver. The owners of sill
yer mines were the only people in
America who sought to inaugurate sill
yer monometallism. 1t was to the gen.
eral interest to preserve the Latin
union,
