OMAHA SHOWS MOST GAIN
Greatest Increase I'm Value of New
Buildings Erected During August
OF This Year and Last.

Reports from the larger cities OF the
country on the amount OF building done in
August in 1899 and the same month OF the
previous year show that Omaha made a
greater percentage of gain in this respect
during the year ending September 1 than
any other city. The returns for the first
six months of the year 1899 do not show
any increase, but on the contrary an appar-
ent decrease, due to the great amount OF
money invested in buildings by the exposi-
ton last year. But the figures for the
month OF August just passed, which does
not include anything but buildings erected
for the normal residence and business de-
mand, reveal the fact that Omaha is rapidly
coming under the influence of the recovery
in financial and business lines. The fig
uree in the table subjoined show that the
revival OF the building trades came later
than in some OF the other cities. as returns
for previous years show that the latter ex-
perieuced their greatest revival previous to
this year, hence their small percentages for
this year. That the upward trend of
building still held good in the country as
a whole, however, is shown by the fact that
in the twenty leading cities the expenditures
during August, 1899, were SIS, liz, 707, as
compared with SIC, 515,7 41 for the CORE
spending period Of 1898, an increase of 10
per cent.
The number Of buildings erected In the
different cities and their total cost are
shown in the following table:

that were shown in various ways to our

unteered their services, which were given in
a kindly and very efficient manner. Also

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Relating to Statements of Jurymen
While in the Jury Room.

SAN FRANCISCO, July ga decis-
ion has been handed down by the Su-
preme Court, in which it is held that
statements of jurors in the jury-room
after they have retired to deliberate
on verdict are confidential and not
intended for the ears of listening Dep
uty Sheriffs or other people.
The court reaches this decision, while
affirming the judgment of the Superior
Court denying a new trial in the case
of Edward Saltzman against the Sun
set Telephone and Telegraph Company.
e Saltzman brought suit against the
company to recover damages for per-
sonal injuries. The jury gave judg-
ment against him, and he made mo-
tion for new trial. To support the
motion various affidavitS of misconduct
on the part of jurors were filed. Among
them was one made by the Deputy
Sheriff having the jury in charge, in
which it is set forth that one of the
jurors said that if they did not agree
on a verdict they would get no money,
and rather than face such a. calamity
he would agree to any verdict. An
other juror, the Deputy testified. while
all were in a restaurant, rang Up some
party on the telephone and gave in
structions regarding his personal bust.
ness.
In reviewing the case the Supreme
Court held that although the telephone
conversation should not have been al
lowed, the conversation in the jury
room was confidential, and could not
properly be used on motion for
new trial as dra wing Jurors QlD for
such acts detracts from the freedom of
thought and speech in a jury, which
is not in keeping with our institutions.

PIERCE WON.
But He Failed to Lower His Record
in the Hundred-Mile Race.

NEW YORK, July 29-The 10O-mile
paced bicycle race at Manhattan Beach
track to-day was won by Burns Pierce
| OF Boston, the present holder of the
| 10O-mile American record. He failed,
however, to beat his own record of
3:24:41 1-5, finishing in 1927 :O5 2-5.
Frank Waller was second in 3:44 :O9 10.
! There We're four starters for the 81, 200
purse: Burns Pierce Of Boston, Harry
Elkes of Glens Falls, N. Y, the mid
dledistance champion of America;
Charles W. Miller of Chicago, long
distance champion of the world, and
| Frank Waller of Boston.
| The start was witnessed by some
1900 persons. Elkes was the inside
man and had a shade the best of the
start. Pierce was on the outside but
from the moment he left the tape. he
hung on doggedly to Elkes until ne
! finally overrode him and sent him Off
the track. Elkes' pacemaker from the
start was the motor quad. Pierce
| made several desperate attempts to
| pass Elkes succeeding only in the
twenty-eigh mile. At the finish of
| the twenty ninth mile ElkeS was again
| leading, having overtaken and passed
! Pierce in less than a lap All this
| time nobody was bothering with either
Waller or Miller. They were still on
the track and that was all. Elkes fin
! ished the thirty-fifth mile in 1:O3:56 80.
| Pierce led him again at the thirty sew
| enth mile but he had retaken his old
place in the next mile. They were now
travelling at a record breaking pace.
| Elkes finished the forty mile point in
1:16:441-5 seconds. Miller had then
gone 81 miles and Waller 36 miles.
Pierce shot ahead. this time with
marked advantage, which he continued
to improve, passing the fiftieth mile a
lap ahead of Elkes. Pierce continued to
! gain and was evidently as fresh as
when he started. while Elkes showed
signs of giving out. The Boston man
went ahead at furious pace.
At the sixty-ninth mile for Pierce,
Elkes again became played out and
quit. Waller was then 6 miles behind
Pierce. Elkes was. however, not yet
| beaten, and with splendid pluck the
boy was out again by the time Pierce
was rounding up his I'D mile Even
Miller was then ahead of him, but he
was not very long in sending the Chi
cago man to the rear Pierce finished
the 91st mile with Waller second at
the Soth, while Elkes was third, with
81 miles and laps to his score.
From this on it was only a matter of
waiting for Pierce to finish, and to see
Waller make the best of it for second
place. Pierce retained his freshness to
the last.

FORT DE FRANCE Qsland of Mar
tinique), July 29.-Tranquility pervails

anxiously awaiting the important
events which it is expected will occur
shortly.
General Picharde. the Governor of the
city, has taken all possible measures
to repel any attack which may be made
by the followers of Senor Juan Jimi-
neZ, one of the candidates for the
Presidency of the republic.
It is said that General Picharde has
advised the Government to issue a
decree proclaiming amnesty for all
Dominican exiles with a view to ap-
peasing the people.
At Labega Real General Don Pedro
Bobea has taken steps to suppress out
| breaks should they occur. Up to the
present time perfect order has been
maintained, but notwithstanding that
fact all law-abiding citizens have been
called upon to bear arms and hold
themselves in immediate readinss for
service
At Moca, where the people criticise
harshly the laxity of the Governor,
General Juan Gonzales, many versions
are in circulation regarding the killing
of the President One has it that tho
assassin shot him with the muzzle Of
the weapon held close to Heureaux's s
breast, crying as he fired the fatal
shots:
"Ah, tyrant tu n 'es pas digne de
gouveneur plus longtemps." (Ah, ty-
rant, you are not worthy to govern
| longer.)
Almost before the words were uttered
the President fell as if struck by light
ming with bullet through his heart.
Other accounts say the President was
stricken by several bullets and that the
assassinS seemed to escape on horses
which had been provided and were held
in readiness for them by friends.
General Pedro Pepii. the Governor OF
Santiago, is acting with the utmost en-
ergy, and has succeeded in overawins
the enemies of the government. The
greatest quiet reigns throughout the

and friends.

the provinces are disposed to energet-
ically defend the existing government
The merchants of Porto Plata have
held meeting and decided to continue

Summing up the situation, it may be
said that a majority of the people seem
