SIGHT OF THE NEW UNION DEPOT.
Model Now on Exhibition Attracts
Great Attention.


Great Attention.
Great crowds have been attracted to the
window of Balduf, the Farnam street res
taurateur. during the last few days by the
representation OF what the people of Omaha
so ardently long for. The new union depot.
the one that the Bridge and Terminal com
pany proposes building at Ninth and Farnam
streets, is represented by a large-sized
model. All the details are carefully brought
out and an excellent idea Of the entrances
and exits obtained.
In the foreground is laid a section of track
running directly into the depot. On the
track Is a good-sized locomotive, the throttle
OF which is kept we'll in hand by a toy man.
The locomotive is numbered 1920 and in de-
sign is not unlike the big engines of the
Union Pacific. 1t was constructed by G. H.
Ware of this city. The tender is well filled
with toothsome caramels, and about the
depot may be seen a lot of good things. AL
together the display is one of the most at
t%ractive, as well as one of the most popular,
that has been seen along the street for some
time.

Mr.. ]. A. Carr takes exception to the
comment made by The Bee concerning
the anti-NIercer crusade so far as it re-
lates to him and The Bee cheerfully eX-
tends to him the use of its columns for
Il denial and explanation. 1t is not our
purpose to impugn Mr.. Carr's motives
or question his right to entertain or eX-
press such views on the silver question
Us are in accord with his honest convic-
tons. But we have naturally taken
it for granted that the peculiar mode of
~defamatOry warfare reSorted to by his
followers and supporters in the recent
campaign had his sanction. We refer
more particularly TO the anti-NIercer and
anti-Rosewatcr dodgers that We're cir
culated in his ward, as they We're in all

The Presbytery of st. Louis met Sep
tember 18th, with the Presbyterian
church of Ironton. There were pres
DIR. Evens of Kirkwood was the Mod
orator, and Rev. J. III. Gauss of Caron-
delet. Stated Clerk. Rev. a., M.
Campbell and Mr.. H. c. Spring were
elected temporary clerks. The busi-
ness of the Presbytery was to hear re-
ports from the committees which re-
view the active agencies of the church
and act upon their work. There were
three excellent discourses delivered by
members of the body. The opening
sermon was preached by the Modera-
tor. Wednesday at 8 P. NJ, Rev. f.
L. Ferguson, d. D.. preached, and
Rev. 81. NJ. Campbell delivered the
evening sermon. Dinner and tea were
served in the basement of the church.
All the meetings were harmonious and
the business was dispatched in very
kindly spirit.
Last evening, about eight o'clock,
Paul Patton and John !. Marshall had
a rencounter wherein the former was
slightly hurt in the head and hand,
and the latter was badly cut. The
story told by those present at the time
of the affray is as follows: Patton,
sitting on the sidewalk in front OF
Schultz's saloon, remarked just as
Marshall was passing: John Mar
shall is The latter
stepped up 10 him and asked, What
is that you called me?" Thereupon
Patton grasped him by the throat and
both fell to the ground. A moment
after Marshall cried out. Take him
off! He is cutting mel" Patton then
got off him and both raised to their
feet, Marshall crying, 81 am killed
run for a doctor,n He then drew his
revolver and shot three times at Pat
has an abrasion on the hand, and the
skin on his forehead is broken; but
whether by reason of the shots fired at
him, or from other cause, is question
ed. He fed into the saloon while
Marshall was shooting at him. All
this time Marshall was bleeding pro-
fusely from several stabs in his left
arm, one severing the main artery.
He was taken to DIR. Mar5hall's Office,
and DIR. Lowry was called in to assist
in dressing the wounds. The wounded
man was put under the influence of
chloroform and the artery taken up.
At present he is resting well, but the
arm may yet have to be amputated.
Sheriff O'Neal was called and arrested
Patton Immediately after the affray
and took him to Jail. He could find
no knife or weapon on his prisoner,
but after lodging him in Jail, the Sher-
if went up to the saloon and after a
short search found homemade dag
ger behind lot of empty beer-kegs.
It was covered with blood. There had
been ill-feeling between the men for
some time. Mr.. Marshall-who holds
the position of city marshal-has made
an excellent officer, and We hope to re-
cord his early recovery.
