The riaintlff Rests In the Dogge Case The Defense Potting In Their Testimony Entries on the Trial and Motion Dockets. In the district court yesterday the hearing of the Dogge case was continued before Judge Chapman.

At noon the counsel for the plaintiff announced their testimony all in and the defense at 2 p. in. commenced their case. It is expected that this side will occupy a comparatively short time, but, owing to the mass of testimony offered and the intricate nature of the case, an immediate decision of the court can hardly be looked for. The following are the docket entries: TRIAL DOCKET.

East Lincoln man: "My father is visiting me, and of course I drive him about the city a great deal Day before yesterday morn ing, after we had taken a nice ride, I asked him how he liked the town. 'It is a wonderful said he, 'wonderful, and I've seen something today that I have never saw be fore. I've been in all kinds of cities and all kinds of villages, but I never was in a place before where they light their street lamps at 11 o'clock Sin the morning. It is done, I suppose to anticipate cloudy and foggy days, and is an excellent idea. Is it very ex vv nat answer couia make totnatt i knew that the old gentleman was poking fun at the dirty gasoline lamps that are scattered around our part of town, and so I winked at my wife and we Dotn began talking aooul the weather as fast as we could.

Those lamps are perhaps better than no light at all, but they ought not to be mentioned on the same day, or night rather, with gas. They are actually lit in our neighborhood in the morning or early in the afternoon and go out at the time when they are needed the worst at night The gasoline lamp is not a success, unless it is well cleaned every day and lighted at the proper time." Hospital Location. A physician: It seems queer that a city that can, in the most off hand manner, take in a $300,000 university, create a freight bureau and pour money into it by the thousands, shoulder and carry away schemes for improvements both public and private which are little short of marvellous considering the size and age of the city, should be so apparently at a loss as how to secure and dispose of a city hospital of the most modest dimensions. The city council have voted to put that institution in the city park. Now that is a decidedly amusing conceit A park is supposed to be a place where people resort for pleasure and recreation.

A hospital full of sick and wounded is not the most pleasant subject of contemplation even for a well oeraon and it appears to me is a decidedly incongruous affair to mix with the appointments of a park. A good deal might be said on this line, but there is one thing that ousrht to settle the matter with dispatch. Anyone who does not realize its force should cm cmt anrl rest in the nark soma dav. or better night, when a fire alarm is "being The City Engineer Thinks the System Can be Completed, And Without Exceeding tbe Cost Originally Contemplated Where the Money Bat Gone, and How Much There is Still on Hand Fire Miles of Pipe Tet to be Laid. The acquisition of knowledge concerning Lincoln's sanitary sewerage is beset with difficulties.

Three-fourths of our people know absolutely nothing about the question, and a majority of the remainder do not know the difference between a flush tank and a manhole. None of the ticy officers pretend to know what the system will cost, and very few of them can tell how many miles of pipe are laid or how much of the money has been expended, and what it has been paid out for. A Jobrxal man began a systematic study of the subject a day or two ago, expecting to be able to lay before the people a clear and con cise statement of the condition of tbe affairs of this department of our public works. He has a statement to make this morning, but it is neither clear nor concise. The facts are that the work of building a system tf sewerage is very complicated, requiring close study and the knowledge of an expert to master it fully.

The first fact that should be brought forward is that the contract was not let for a lump sum. Mr. Korsmeyer, and afterwards Duffett Ramsey, bid a certain amount for each foot of pipe, each yard of excavation, each thousand of lumber, and so on through the long list of things needed to complete the system. The bids footed up to a certain grand total, but the contractor did not agree to fit out the city with sewers at that price. It is stated that the contract could not be let fairly in any other way, and of course, under the circumstances, it was impossible to guarantee that the original sewer district could be covered with the $80,000 voted for the purpose.

This district was defined by the council on July 15, 16S0, to be as follows: Beginning at Sixth street, running east on the alley between and to Eighteenth; north to the alley between and west to Sixteenth; north to the university place; west to Fourteenth; north to; west to Eighth south to the alley between the and west to Seventh south to west to Sixth and south to the place of beginning. The city engineer states that the northern pert of this district is now well sewered, and that work is going on rapidly in the southern portion. Gangs are operating in the alley between and K. streets, and even farther south. Ten miles of pipe have been laid, and it will require five miles more to complete the system as was originally intended.

AS TO EXPENSE. The proceeeds of the sale of the sewer bonds amounted to Up to date the following bills have been paid out of this fund: Chester 6. Cavis, plans and specifica- Uons (not used) 2,000 00 Geo. E. Waring, plans and specifications .00 00 Citizens committee, expense.

CAS THE WORK BE FINISHED with the money left in the fund? This was the query propounded to City Engineer Gardner yesterday. He replied: "I think that the system can be completed nearly if not quite to the alley between and streets.

It is true that it has cost nearly JriO.OOO to put in ten miles of the sewer, while five miles must be done with less than but that does not prove that the thing cannot be done. Of the original sum voted you will find that ten, if not fifteen, thousand dollars was spent in preliminary work, such as engineering, which will cost practically nothing for the remainder of the job. The ten miles now finished cost for labor and material only The pipe used in this part of the work was 20, 18, 15, 12, 10 and 8 inches in diameter, while the average depth of the trenches was about fifteen feet The five miles we are now doing will be much cheaper. The pipe will be only six or eight in diameter, and the average depth of the ditches will hardly be ten feet Figuring all of these factors of the problem in, I feel safe in saying that the original district will be very nearly covered when the $50,000 voted by the city is exhausted." "I have read the contracts," remarked the scribe, "and find that the contractor must curb and 'shore' at his own expense, charging for lumber only when it is left in the trenches upon the written order of the city engineer. Pleaso explain why the city has been compelled to pay for so much lumber "Every foot of lumber paid for by the city," said Mr.

Gardner, "has been left in the ground at my request It is much cheaper to use plank in this way than to pay damage suits. In running through alleys close to buildings it is often disastrous to pull tbe sheathing, and had we done so in every case the city would have been compelled to pay heavy damages. It is true that the contractor is held liable for damages of this kind, but if the city orders him to pull up the plank where he wishes to leave it down he is relieved from all responsibility. But after all the talk about the 'lumber steal' the figures show that this item is almost, in significant The city has paid just $2,: 0 for the lumber used up to date. A good healthy damage suit will coet more than that." "How about the $400 paid to the owners of the Lancaster county bank bonding? Should not that have been paid by the "If the owners of that building were entitled to damages it ought to come out of the pocket of the contractor of course.

The city paid it under the impression that it would be cheaper to settle without a lawsuit. How a settlement is to be made with the contractor I cannot say." So much for the financial side of the business. The above showing cannot be considered as final, but points toward a better state of affairs than Thb Journal had been led to expect Married WALLACE CASE At the residence of J. id. Case, W0 south Seventeenth street, June 22, lSfeTby Rev.

EL South worth, Air. Alex. H. Wallace of Pasadena, Cai, and Miss Nellie L. Case of Lincoln, Neb, The pleasant affair recorded above occurred yesterday morning at 8 o'clock in the presence of a few friends.

Probably no more sincere congratulations were ever offered a fair young bride and groom than those poured upon the heads of the chief persons in these nuptials. Mr. Wallace is too valuable a young man for Nebraska to lose, but California gains in him a very desirable citizen. Miss Case is wiiely known here as a young lady of brilliant accomplishments and fine social qualities. Those who know and love her, however, have oniy tears of joy for her happy alliance with one so worthy.

Every guest at the wedding will long remember, also, the perfect skill and care with which Mrs. W. E. Kirker presided at the collation and made every part harmonize. Mr.

and Mrs. Wallace took the noon train for the west followed by the magic shower ui noe ana tne old shoe. Fanaticism Overreaches Itself-PTortdenee Journal.

The Coroner's Jury Places the Eenponsl-bllltj for Tuesday's Accident Upon Engineer Conroy of the B.

M. The Testimony and the Verdict. The jury empanelled on Tuesday night by Coroner Roberts to hold an inquisition over the body of Michael Byron, killed by the collision of Union Pacific and Burlington Missouri trains at the crossing iu the B. M. yards on Tuesday evening, performed its duties yesterday morning.

"The following evidence was produced: Howard Kennedy, conductor of tbe U. testified that he runs freights numbered 51 and 53 on the Omaha Republican Valley branch. On the 21st Inst he ran No. 52, which is due to leave here at 5:30 p. m.

On tbe 21st 'they left the depot about fifty minutes late, and reached the crossing about 6:35 or 6:30. Made usual stop before approaching the crossing. He did not see anything on the B. M. track that they were to cross.

The B. M. engine struck the tender of his engine. James Jackson, engineer of the U. P.

train, No. 52, testified that his train was about fifty minutes late on the 21st On reaching the crossing he made th9 usual stop and gave the signals and went ahead. The tt i i. i i u. X.

lias tue ngni ut way oi au ruoua wuhb going north, ne saw the engine on tne is. cc M. track and knew it was approaching, but supposed they would stop as the rules required. Wallace P. Kelly, a brakeman on the U.

P. freight train, No. 52, testified that this train was stopped as required by the rules and gave two whistles. John H. Jackson, fireman on train 53 of theU.

said that he did not hear the B. M. whistle or see them stop. They might have whistled while he was shoveling in coal but he did not hear them. P.

O. Shed, a switchman in the employ of the B. M. on engine 107, testified that at engine was at the West Lincoln packing house and left there about that time. It is customary for them to stop at all crossings and they have always done so.

They did not stop last night They neither whistled nor stopped when approaching the U. P. crossing. He did not see the U. P.

train before they struck it He was lying down on the car to get away from the smoke. The fireman of the switch engiuo stood on tbe rear end of the tank. W. M. Titus, a fireman on B.

M. switch engine No. 107, testified that they had usually stopped at tbe U. P. crossing.

Wm. Atwell, a switchman of the B. M. with engine No. 107, testified that they left West Lincoln about 6:30 with one box car; stopped to make a switch 300 yards on this side of the packing house.

Usually stop at the U. P. crossing. They were running about six or eight miles per hour. Last night they did not stop before reaching the U.

P. crossing. Saw Mr. Byron standing on the switchboard of the engine when they left West Lincoln; When about six rods of the crossing he told the men to jump oft for they were going to strike the U. train.

All jumped but Byron. Atwell was standing on the board with Byron, and saw the U. P. train when about S00 yards away, but rupposed that the B. M.

engine was going to stop. He called to the engineer when he saw the train. He is of the opinion that the engineer of the B. M. engine 107 is alone to lame for the accident He could have stopped his engine if he had made any effort.

Mr. Titus was recalled and testified that he did not know what the engineer was doing. He must have been watching the injector. He thinks that when Conroy saw the train he made everyfeffort to stop by throwing on the lever. When he threw the lever off they must have been five or six rods away.

Didn't think the engineer left the car until after the crash. He did not hear him say. the engine was not working well. They were running at the rate of about four or five miles. They were not runningas fast as they often run in the yards.

J. J. Conroy, the engineer of the B. M. switch engine No.

107, testified that he made the trip to West Lincoln about 6 o'clock. It was about 6:30 when they left there. They had one car coming back. The car was in front of the engine and they were backing down and stopped at the switch northwest of the crossing, which is about 600 or 800 yards from the packing house. He did not stop when approaching the crossing, but slackened his speed so that he almost stopped.

The rules required him to stop when approaching a crossing. Did not see the U. P. train till they were within 200 feet of it He whistled a little beyond the usual place for whistling. When he saw the engine, he reversed and gave steam.

His engine was not working well. It ought to have stopped before striking the train and would have done so if it had been working right After they struck the train his engine started to run the other way. He did everything to stop after he saw the U. P. train.

After hearing this testimony, thefollowing verdict was rendered: State of Nebraska, 1 Lancaster County. 1 At an inquisition held at Lincoln Lancaster county, on the 21st and 22d davs of June, A. D. 1887, before me, E. T.

THE GAMBLERS. Sheedy, Saunders, Dodson, Barnes and Bock Found Guilty of Violating the Gambling; Laws, and Are Fined Fifty Dollars and Costa Each. The case of the State of Nebraska vs. John Sheedy, Augustus Saunders, W. S.

Barnes, Frank Dodson and H. Bock for keeping and conducting a gambling room on the second floor of the Quick building, engaged the attention of the police judge yesterday afternoon. This suit was brought upon the complaint of A. M. McCormick, who lost about $125 at hazard in this room on last night" i M.

A. McCormick, the complaining wit ness, was first called, and recognized Sheedy, Barnes and Dodson, but did not recognize the other defendant Jle testified having seen them in the second story of T. P. Quick's buiMing, which he termed a gambling room, several other persons were there besides defendants lut he did not know who they weret, was a hazard table in the room, and it was in this game that he lost $125. He explained the game, testifying that he bought the hazard chips from Dodson at 25 cents each.

The highest amount bought by him at any one time was $20 worth. The hazard table has numbers running from one to ten, and the players bet on these numbers. The manager of the game, Dodson, threw the dice, by which the bets were decided. There were other tables there, but he could not tell the nature of them. Upon cross examination he testified that he had seen Sheedy and Dodson in the room.

Bock, who had plead guilty, was next sworn and testified that there was a hazard table and roulette tables in the room, and explained the playing of tbe two games. Upon cross examination he testified that he was manager of this gaming room and that he has full charge of the room. On the night of the 20th Dodson, who is in his employ, was running the roulette wheel and did not manage the hazard table. Sheedy was in the room that night Poker and other games are played in this room. McCormick lost something over luu.

names axso is nis employ and was there that night Saunders also has authority to run these games. Sheedy has no authority and is not connected with the management He gets tbe use of the room from Sheedy. Upon cross examination he said that Barnes and Dodson were the only ones authorized to run the games. Saunders has the privilege of running the games, however, if no one else is there. The profits are divided between Sheedy and himself.

Upon cross examination he stated that this money that Sheedy got was a payment on the furniture bought from Sheedy. C. IL Towne was next called. Me testified that he was in the gambling room on the night of the 20th. 'He saw McCornnckfplaying at hazard and paying $20 for a stack of chips.

Thinks he bought the chips from Bock. Dodson was there running the roulette wheel. Did not see any of the other defendants there. J. Standberry testified that he saw Hock and Dodson in this room on the 20th.

Bock was shaking hazard with McCormick. Thought Barnes was also in the room. Charles Stearns testified that he was in the room abont 9 o'clock on the 20th. Saw Dodson there, but did not remember seeing any of tbe other defendants and did not see McCormick there. The counsel for the defense made a motion for the discharge of Barnes, Sheedy and Saunders, which was overruled dv tne court.

Saunders was the rirst witness cauea ior the defense. He testified that be was in no way connected with the house. He has Elayed in the sometimes against the ouse, but not for the house as he remembers. He has no more privileges than any other citizen. He has an interest in the safe in which Sheedy and himself keep their papers.

J. JNewtca was in nis employ ago, running a studpoker game. J. Newton was then called to the witness stand by the state. He testified that he had been in the employ of Saunders within the past three months.

I he caw was not argued oy counsel, i ne court found from tbe evidence that it was proven conclusively that all of the defendants were connected wim tnis gamuung nuusa The onlv Question was who was tne most interested, and this could not be proven by the testimony at hand. He fined them $50 and costs each. They gave notice of appeal and the surety of Augustus oaunaers was taken for their appearance in district court Milford Excursion No. 9. On Sunday, June 26, the B.
