Something Hko a ti'iartcr of a century ago ,Frederick Schnoll came to this city and in-vested
¬
his money in real estate. The nesteg was not a largo one , hut it continued to
*** grow with the city , and it had not been' forsome outside speculations , at the time of hisdeath 'ho wouli ( have'been a millionaire.-i2ven
.
figuring iu these speculations ,when ho died , December 11,1803 , his wealthwas estimated to roach the thousands , con-sisting
¬
of money in the bank , notes securedon real estate and city lots.
The old man was 81 years of ago and forsome time prior to the date heretofore re-ferred
¬
to , had roomed at the corner of Thlr-tecntti and Jackson streets , preferring tostay there instead of residing with his chil-dren
¬
, of whom there were seven , who livedin the southern part of the city and in SouthOmaha.
Some years ago Schnell mot Uobort Prless ,a butcher and siiloon keeper , whoso place ofbusiness was near Fort Omaha , and even-tually
¬
the two men becaino qulto chummy ,so much so that during the latter part of-iast November the old man was Induced totake up his bed anil remove to tbo Prlossresidence , where ho remained until lie died.
The children , several of whom are com-fortahly
-situated , had time and again offered
the old man a home , but each tlmo ho hadrefused , saying that ho proposed to takocaro-of himself so long ns ho could keep upon himfoot. The y know whore ho had been roeIng and kn ° w that he was in good health , sothey wcro not worried over tbo fact that ho-wns staying alone in the Thirteenth streetblock.-
On.December 11 the children read in THE
Bnr. that their father was dead and that hohad died at the residence of Uobert Prless inthe extreme northern end of the citvShortly after being Informed of thedeath of the old man , they wontutter the Comae , ns Pricsj was willingto have it buried nt their expense. Afterttio season of mourning had passed , a searchfor tli property was made , and then H wasdiscovered that two days before his deathFrederick Schnoll had willed every ponnv-of his estate to Robert Prless. In duo timethe will was filed for probate , and thatstarted the light. The case was continueduntil yesterday In order toallow both sides anopportunity to don their lighting garmentsWhen the case wns called in Judge Baxter'scourt , Prio.ss went upon the stand nndMilled that ho know that the old mun budconsiderable property , tliat ho did not gotalong wi-lt with his children , and tliat a fewdays before his ncath ho was induced to re-move

from bis Thiravnth street room-.Jloth
.Pness and his wife insisted that thov
did not imluco the old man to make the will ,flitting off the children , averring that hisaction was of his own volition.
When thn other side taiscs the stand , thewitnesses declare that they will prove to-Iho satisfaction ot the court that Pnessknow that the old man had but a few daystolivo , and that they thought by getting himtheir dutches , and poisoning his mindngalnst his children , ho anil his wife wouldeasily secure all of the property by havingit beqticathod to them , and that there woulu-nMor be- any questions asked. In additionto this , they point to the fact that the willwas executed only two days prior to the( leathertheir father, and declare that atthat tlmo the old nun wan not in his rightmind aud did not know what ho was doing-

The proposed agreement would probablydourivo the Union Pacifio of much Pugetsound and Portland traflli* which it will eelby remaining outside , and without thisroad's' co-operation all efforts to settletranscontinental differences will probablyfail._

the Union Pacific will do with the Gulf as-to what the Gulf will do with the UnionPaoillo. "
Asked as to the correctness of the rumorthat Mr. Trumbult had tendered him thegeneral passenger agency of the Gulf , Mr.-Ady
.
said : "Mr. Trumbull did ask mo totake oh'irgo of the road , which I stated Iwould do if it could be dona in conjunctionwith the Union Paeitlc.but would have to rc-selvo

Una MOINKS , .fan. ao. [Special to Tut-Uin.: . ] Tlio Australian ballot law. whlcliwas passed two years , is receiving a goodshare of attention from tlio legislature.Hills arc pending to remove the circle op-po.slto
-
the party namoj to repeal the wholelaw in respect to municipal olcctloas in vil-lages , and to strlko out whole sections of do-tails.
-
. The pdnciplo of the law, that olsecret voting , may bo retained , but the "red-tnpo" loiituros are very likely to bo-eliminated. .
Nearly 100 bills have been Introduced toremedy technical defects or make slightchanges In the code.
Court expanses arc also being looked after ,and several nblo luwyors , among them Mr.Finch of Humboldt , are trying to simplifythe methods of prnetioo in this state anilprotect the Interest of Judgment dontors.-
In.
some uarts of the state the liberal pro-vision of the assessment laws , allowing taxexemptions for the growing of fruit orfore t trees have been taken advantage of tothat extent that many utitiro farms entirelyescape taxation. This is notably true in thesouthwestern part of the state. A bill in-troduced
¬
by Williams of Fremont Is nowpending repealing the law , providing forsuch exemptions.
The special meetings of the republicansmembers of the committee on suppression ofintemperance of the two houses , which havebeen held in order to arrive at some agree-ment
¬
, if possible , as to tlio method of modi-fying
¬
the prohibitory law , in order to con-form
¬
to the pledges of the party platform ,have been fruitless. A majority of thesenate committee have favored local optionand high lloensa under strict regulations ,while the house committee , led by Chair-man
¬
Funk , takes the onnosito view andchampions the "Mulct" plan and rosuumiss-ton.
-
. The prospect that thcso committeeswill bo able to agrco is very remote. Theresubmlssion of the question to n vote of thepeople , however , will ho a part of the pro ¬gram.
The house passed the Blanchard resolu-tion
¬
, condemning the practice of suspendingpensions without Investigation , by a strictparty voto-
