Prospects of Tronlilb for The Western
Onion ,
Tins Iowa l oot IJ'IICH Moving on
Onmhn.
The memorable walk-out of the West
ern Union operators Is atill froah in the
public mind nnd the embarrassment con-
nequont thorofrom will not noon bo for-
gotten.
From prceont appearances it appears
that A similar cataatrophy ii-jjlmpondlng.
Some time ngo a reduction Mud inado in
the wages paid operators , which uiado o
diflbronco of from $30 to $50 a month in
tholr salaries , and a further cut of 10 per
sent la uxpcctod. Sunday meotlnga
were held all over the United Sthtos and
there wan u firm determination among
the men to resist the arbitrary cutting
down if prices. At the former otrlko
there were a number of old employon who
aturk by , the company nnd helped them
tide over their troubloa. This tlmo the
ablest and beat men are united In
opposition tojtho reduction nnd the com
pany will find it no easy matter to gather
a force that can handle tholr work. There
la no class of workers more important to
the general public and none whoso duties
are more arduous and ao poorly remuner
ated. A strike among the telegraphers
means a stagnation of nowa such aa could
result from no other source and yet the
public will look moro leniently on iho no
tion of the operators at this tlmo than
ever before because the men who helped
the company before arc now united with
their follows in resisting an unjust reduction -
> duction of wages that would work a
hardship to all.
COMIKO TO OMAHA.
There has boon a great deal of talk
lately nbout the Chicago & Northwestern
road coming Into Omaha , and it now
looka aa If not only thia but the other
lines belonging to the Iowa pool were on
the point of crossing the river and mak
ing Omaha their western terminus.
The construction of the side track
from the Omaha nnd St. Paul road up to
the Columbia brewery is regarded aa the
entering wedge for the Northwestern for
reaching the atock yards and , as the
Blair bridge has proved such a failure , it
la boliovect that there ia to bo constructed
n bridge acroea the river at thia point
which will have its landing on this nido
where the brewery siding begins.
The 0. B. & Q. shortcut fromMnlvorn
to Council Blnlla , aud projected bridge
acroaa the Missouri to Omaha wonld tend
to confirm the report that all the Iowa
lines are on the point of running Into
this city at whatever cost. Thpro has
been ao much said on this subject that
reference to It is regarded as romancing ,
but this tlmo It seems to bo in real
earnest. Instead of the ono bridge
across the Missouri it looks us If wo wore
aoon to have three and as North Omaha
is to bo the location of the now depot ol
C. & N. W. , there is abundant promise
of a big boom for that part of the city.

An extraordinary scene wns witnessed
in the federal court room for the northern
district of Oeorgln hero to-day , which haa
given rlio to many queer satmisca , For
some time past the conduct ot Judge
lloury Kent McKay haa been subject of
concern to his friends. At a little past
the hour for the assembling of court to
day Judge McKay entered the building ,
laboring under great mental excitement ,
Calling the court to order In n very un
ceremonious manner , ho Announced
that If a jury wna not impaneled
for the next case standing on
the docket inside of two mluutoa
ho would adjourn court. Under this
, but greatly astonished , the
Erosauro made quick work of running
ever the panel and a jury was soon In
the box. Judge McKay , who In the
meantime had been muttering incoher
ently to himself , then ordered that the
case for which the jury was empaneled
should go ever , and the next one , for
which no jury was empaneled , should be
proceeded with. This was the celebrated
"Long Eutsglns" caao , In which nn es-
tito of § 30,000 is Involved. District
Attorney Spoor , saolng the necessity tor
securing nn adjournment of court , asked
for a continuance , on the ground that
Mrs Hugglns was sick. "Sick ? " exclaimed -
claimed the judge , hasn't aho boon run
ning around hero for a week ? " "I nm
not very well myself , " said Mr. Si.cor ,
with n solemn fnco. "What'a the matter
with you ? ' was demanded by the judge ,
who wna thoroughly aroused. " " 1 have
neuralgia , nnd it nlfoctn my eyes , " wns
the response. "Shut the well eye , " oom-
manded the judgo. Mr. Spoor
did aa told , nnd stood there with ono
eye closed and ono open. "Can you BCD
mo with that sick eye ? " demanded the
judgo. "Perfectly , " was Mr. Spoor's
response. After much moro Incoherency -
cy on the part of Judeo McKay , during
which excitement among the lawyers bo-
cfttno intense , the judge loft the bench
nnd wna pccn sitting oil by himself mak
ing curious gesticulations. Whether ho
was sick or under temporary aberration
of mind was a question which was gener
ally debated It Is known that the judge
h&3 had much trouble , and oomo are In
clined to think from his action of the
past weeks that his mind is affected. The
matter is being quietly talked of to-night
by pnrtica who propose to take such
action as the dovolopomenta make neces
sary.

In regard to the ancestry of the brido-
Rroom-oloct may bo interesting.To
have one's name mentioned by Gibbon , "
says Thacknray , "Is like having It written
in the dome ot St. Peter's ; " nnd the an-
thorlty of the historian of the Iloman
Empire may bo safely accepted oven by
the most jealous friends ot the young
lady , Gibbon says :
The nnmo nnd nrms or Colonnn have
boon the tbomcs of much doubtful oto-
mology ; nor have the orators and anti
quarians overlooked either Trajan's pillar
or the columns of Hercules , or the pillar
of Christ's Ihgollatlou , or the luminous
column that guided the Israelites In the
desert. Their first historical appearance
iu the year 1101 attest the power nud an-
tlquity , while It explains the simple
meaning of the namo. By the usurpa
tion of Cavao Colonua provoked the arms
of Paschal the second ; but they lawfully
hold in the campagna of Homo the here
ditary fiefs of Xdgarola and Colonua , and
the hitter of those towns was probably
adorned with eomo lofty pillars , the relic
of a villa or temple. They likewise
posacsacd ono moiety of the neighboring
city of Tusculom , a strong presumption
of their descent from the Counts of Tus-
culum , who In the tenth century were
the tyrants of the Apostolic eoa. Ac
cording to their own and the public opin
ion , the primitive and remote source was
derived from the banks of the llhiuo ;
and the sovereigns of Ger
many were not ashamed of n realer
or fabulous nfl'mity with a noble race ,
which in the revolution of 700 years has
often been illustrated by merit nna
always by fortune. ( In foot note Gibbon
says : ' ' 1 cannot overlook the Roman
triumph or ovntlon of Marco Antonio
Colonna , who had commanded the pope's '
galloja nt the naval victory of Lopanto , "
October 7,1751. ) About the end of the
birtoenth century the most powerful
iranch was composed of an nnclo antt six
jrothors , all connplcious in arms or in
lionors of the church. Of those , Peter
was elected senator of Rome , introduced
> o the capital in a triumphal car , and
lailea in some vain acclamations with theMe
Mo of Ciinar ; while John and Stephen
were doclaryd marquis of Ancona and
count of llomagna , by Nicholas the
Fourth , a patron so partial to tholt
family that ho haa been delineated to n
satrlcal portraits imprisoned aa it were in
i hollow pillar. After his deco < tsp tholr
laughty becavior provoked the displeas'
uro of the most implacable
of mankind. The two Car
dinals , the undo and the nephew ,
denied the election of Boniface the
Eighth ; and the Colonna were oppressed
or a moment by his temporal aud spirit'
ual arms. Ho proclaimed a crusadt
against his personal onqmieajthoirestatoi
were confiscated ; tholrfortressoa on oithoi
aide of the Tiber were bonioged by thi
troops of St. Peter und there of the riva !
nobles ; and after the ruin of Palestripa
or Pi.ericata , their principal scat , thi
ground was marked with a plowshare , thi
emblem of perpetual desolation. Degraded
graded , banished , proscribed , the si :
brothers , In disguise nnd danger , wandered
dored over Europe without renouncing
the hope of dehvoranco and revenge
In this double hope the French court wa
their surest asylum ; they prompted anc
directed the enterprise of Phillip ; ant

they respected the misfortune and courage
ago of the captive tyrant. His civil act ;
were annulled by the Roman people , whi

the Colonna ; and some estimate maj
be formed of their wealth by thel
losses of their losses , by the damages oi
100,000 gold florins , which were grantee
them against the accomplices and heir
of the deceased pope. All the spiritua
censures and disqualifications were abolIshed
Ished by his prudent successors ; and the
fortune of the honso was moro firmly es
tablishcd by thia transclent hurricane
The boldness of Scinrrn Colonua was alg
nalixed by the captivity of Boniface , anc
long afterwards in the coronation o
Louis of Baveria ; and by the gratitude o

AN UNKNOWN TONGC12.
A Itneo of I'coplo AYlii ) Hn\o Not Ho
covered irotn tlio Confusion
of Mabel ,
1'hlladdphh Telegraph.
A party of savages were among the im
migrants landed at Castle Garden yester
day from the steamship Wyoming , from
Liverpool. The loader waa very diminu
tive , his head hardly reaching up to the
desk where Clerk Nfglutsch was register
ing the now arrivals.
"Your name , alt ? ' asked the clork.
peering sharply nt the man. A queer ,
guttural sound , seeming to come from
the man's stomach , wna the only reply.
After several cllorrs in many languages
to make the man understand , Niglutsoh
took them up-stalrs to Superintendent
Jackson's office , where n few minutes
later au Euglisman , who gave his name
aa W. A. llonryappearcd nnd announced
that ho waa in charge of the party. There
were six savages nud nil were small
They were attired in heavy nruiy blank-
kets , with no hcadwoar , and low shoes
of L'ugliah make on their foot.
They came originally from the Kulalu
desert , In Central Africa , and belong to
N'Chubba trlbo. They do not In the
least rceomblo African negroes , their
faces being very flat , and the nose ,
mouth and eyes small aud well shaped.
Their hair grows In little fine tufts , there
being aa many bald apota on their heads
na there are tufts of hair. The loader of
the party , who was chief of his tribe in
his native land , is only t foot C inches
high , and la the largeat poraon of hla
tribo. In Africa the members of the
tribe- travel about the desert in families ,
mibsistlng on roots ami herbs nnd wild
animals , The chief ia named Conqut ,
and Is y. > years old ; his wife , Arbocy , 42
years old , and their two children , Icy , a
girl 12 years old , and Arky , nboy 0 years
old. The other two nro males Co , 1 ! )
yoara old , nnd Fimmon , 20 years old.
For the past three months they have
boon ou exhibition in London , where
they were examined by many medical ex
ports. The latter declared .tlioir langu-
igo to bo different from nil languages
known , no sound issuing from their lipa
which can bo construed Into a word , un
apparent clicking of the tongue ngainat
the roof and aides of tha month being the
only movement noticeable while they are
talking nmoni ; themselves. Couqul has
learned rapidly since ho was taken from
his native land and can say , "How do
do" in English quito distinctly. The
people were captured and brought hereby
by G. A. Fariul. They are to bo ex
hibited in Boston. The commiaeionora
compelled Air. Aonry to give bonds that
Conqnl and his troupe would not become
a public charge.
TRE O'CONNEDj MEMOIAU
Canon IJrosimu'.H Proposition that
Granite 1'illnrsBo Contributed
By Ainciica.
Canon Broanan , who has charge of the
O'Connoll memorial church which is nov
being near the grave of the Liberator ai
Cahiroiwoon , Ireland endorses the Bug
gostlon that American granite bo used foi
10 columns , and cays :
"I have consulted the architect cf the
liurch , McGoorgo C. Ashlin , and he
igbly approves of granite for the
olumns. Wo have plenty of granite ir
reland , but I confess 1 would view witl
ride and pleasure the carrying out oi
tie proposal of having American granite
or the purpoao. 1 believe the Irleh race
would share my sentiment at seeing thli
olid , majestic atono-roofed temple sug
ainod forever on massive pillars sent
cross the wide ocean by the bravo exile :
f Erine , What if your city would loac
n the worth project by presenting the
our great chancel pillars ; better still if
Ike the great granite pillars of St. Paul'i
lomo , they would bo monolitha. "
Do you believe your doalro will bo ro
Hzcdl" said the correspondent.
'I confidently and nflectionatoly aaplri
thia grand realization , and 1 thiul
hero ia good hope of the end for which j ]
m striving being accompliahod. Per
apa Mr. Grace , the Miyor-oloct of Nov
rork , who haa given a munificent sub
crlption , would take it in hand. If hi
ooa I have uot tlio slightest doubt that hi ;
rish follow clti/.ans will readily co-opor
to with him. If I am favored with an ]
ommunication on the subject I will a
nco communicate vrith the architect n
o the plans and details of the pillars
i'ho foundations of the church are noarlj
omplotod , and wo shall soon set abou
nvlting readers for the contract of thi
uilding proper. "

A telegram was received in Carlisle b
, ho sister of Charley Foulko , nnnouncln
ils death at Hot Hpringa , Arkansas , o
Sunday night , saya a dispatch from Hai
riaburg , Pennaylvama , to The Pittabur
Commercial-Gazette. The announct
mont of the death of Foulko was hoar
with little regret by aomo people in th
Cumberland valleyfor as long as ho live
they did not breathe freely. Foulko wi
a gambler by occupation and choice. D
was a man of gentlemanly appoarane
and courteous manners , nnd his uctioi
and conversation did not betray h
calling. Of kindly manner toward h
friends , yes when crossed at cards , or i
any other way , ho was a dangerous fo
and often sought brutal revenge , Nume
ous criinoore laid at hla door in Ca
halo , and ho seemed to take pleasure i
defying the law. It is alleged that h
waa instrumental in the death of mo ;
than ono person , On one occasion 1
was tried for shooting a soldier at C *
lisle barracks , but escaped conviction.
Uia friend and boon companion for
" " Fields who dii
long time was "Bully" ,
at Deadwood , Dakota Territory , Son
tirao ago. "Bully" waa aUo tried wi
Foulko for the aoldbr'a murder and a
quitted.
Some five or six yean ago , when tl
people of Carlisle began to pluck up cot
npo through the conviction of n nnmbtr
of incendiaries , they tur > td their atten
tion to FouRo. Hi1 was nrnstod on the
charge of ursi n , which arson i * anid to
have couMfllod of bloniujj up u houao

Shorill McCftilnoy , an incmy ot Fou'ko.
Ha waa acquitted of the charge , and Im
mediately prosecuted nnd convicUd
McCartney c f potjury and had him acut
t3jnil. When McCirtnoy got out ho
proaocutcd Foulko for subordination of
pjrjury , nnd ( ho latter jumped the coun
try cno night aud wna not lienrd of for
aomo tlmo until nt hat ho wna located nt
Denver , Col. , nnd Detective Anderaon
brought turn coat. Ho waa put under
heavy bail , but again loft tills section
and the case wm never tried. It i * said
that Fonlko returned incognito and had
the latter tottlod.
_ Nothing was hoard of him for a long
time , except that ho waa in Arknr aa.
Last winter during the disturbance nt
Hot Springs , Ark. , between the authori
ties and the gamblers , when the black-
lega were ordered to lonvo the town.
Foulko turned up na the organiser of a
vigilance committee , oatonaibly to help
the authorities , but really to nid the
gamblers. Ho waa a man of great cun
ning nnd as nrrvp aa could bt > r lie
feared nobody , and while not reckless ,
waa very daring , llo leaves many no-
qualntnncoa m Carlisle , nud not a few
friends who profited by his prodigality
when ho wns lucky nt the gaming tnblu
For Bomo time he ran a faro lay-out in
Harrisburg , but business w.w "no good , "
aa ho uooa to nay. nnd ho wont back to
Carlisle. Foulk died of plumlnnry
trouble , from which ho had sullorod for
years , Ho leaves an cstato valued nt
8100,000 , mostly of real oatato nt Hot
