The Rurjjlnr Who Occasioned it on Trial Ucforo JudgeClnrkson. . "Wlmt Is perhaps the most sensational burg lary cose In the history of Omaha was put on trial yesterday morning before Judge Clarkson In the district court The notorious Tom Cnrrollwas the prisoner at tbo bur. The principal witness for the state Is Miss Mary LiUillngton , a charming young ludy nnd daughter of Dr. Ludlngtoa , residing at 2003 Burt street , where the burglary was perpe trated. Miss Ludlngton's almost unprecedented display of during which ( oil to the capture of Carroll was the talk of the city for weeks. 'J'ho affair occurred about ! o'clock on the afternoon of March 81. Carroll walked boldly Into Or. Ludlngton's residence by the front door , wont into tbo dining-room , took from the sideboard n great quantity of silver , bundled It up , and started to leave the house , Aa ho was going out tlio frontdoor his boldness seeming to know no bounds Miss LuJington appeared in his path , and crabbing 'him by the arms , couunnndcd lain to stand nnd deliver. 'I'll ' do neither one , " hissed Carroll , "mid If you don't ' let go of mo I'll shoot you dead. " "No vou won't shoot mo dead I" slioutod Miss Ludlngton , reaching for the bundle. As pho did so. the nervy heroine gave the dare devil n twist that nearly downed hiai , and ut the same titno uttered several piercing n screams for help. M'hllo people were hastening to her assist ance , sbu gave the desperado what he after ward acknowledged to bo the most surprising tussle of his life. She pinched him bluck nnd blue , pulled his hnlrln ti painful manner , nnd continued impeding his ( light until n crowd of more timn twenty-live neighbors und passers-by were attracted to the spot , II J\s two men dashed up to the door Miss Ludlurfton having aufcecdod In keeping her prisoner upon the landing of the steps-Car- roll Jerked away from his fair captor , nnd soiling a bar ot Iron stood oil the helpers , s.rearing ho would brain the first oue wko laid bands oa him. Making n dash down the steps by swinging the murderous weapon upon cither nldo ho cot awitr from the crowd that now numbered fully n hundred persons. Then came the wildest nnd most exciting cha oovor witnessed In the city. A block distant nnd the fleeing desperado jumped a fence. When ha struck the ground on tlio opposite aide James Kelly , a motor car conductor , who had led In the cb.iso , was upon his back. The dare dovll had mot his mutch , Carroll had droppcdhls murderous weapon. It was a man to man stniKglo no\vaml during its continuance Carroll , who Is strong as n worsted hlsooponciil. As ho regained his feet and darted awav ho found D , C. Culln- him'n panting breath In Ids face. With a tcrrlblo sldo cut Carroll felled him to the earth nnd continued hit flight. UutCallnh.in was out for the man. and jumping to his feet again wits soon at his side. Again , this tlmo with a torrille blow with n boor bottle which ho had picked up. Carroll made Callabim blto the dust. The blow seemed to hnvo act ed ujwn Callnhiti's chest as though upon a rubber ball. It felled him but only for n mo ment , for no sooner had ho toucbod the earth than ho bounded up and with a powerful blow knocked Carroll flat UK | > II his face , then Kcttliif , ' a lode hold upon the fellow kept him in the dirt until a private detective who hap pened along put a chain on 0110 of Carrol's wrists. Having done this , ho shouted to Cal- laluui : "Let him up , I've got him fixed I" Suptxmlng that the detective knew what ho was talking about and thut ho hud pinioned both Carroll's wrists , Callnhan lot his man up. But no sooniT had this been done limn Curroll staggered Ciilluhan with another wicked blow , Jerked looao bis piuioned hand nnd got away. vcn now Callahan's remarkable cluck did not forsakn him. 1'alrly frothing at the month with determination , lie ngnln How after Carroll , overtook him , struck him on tbo b.iek of the head with his list , nnd then before the follow could Hso rained additional blows upon him that resulted In transferring him into a Iamb In the hands of his assailant and captor. All of the stolen property was , of course , immediately recovered and with It Carroll wai taken to the station. Miss Ludlngtou was completely prostrated after the momentary excitement of her thrill ing adventure had passed , The heroine , accompanied by other mem bers of her family nnu witnesses , appeared In court yesterday , her features alternating la smiles and blushes as sbo recounted the occur iciice. There Is n very largo attendance of friends and ailinirors of Mlsi Ludlngton and every detail of the trial Is watched with Interest. It was with great difllculty that a Jury satisfactory to both sides was secured , the regular panel being exhausted within half an hour after the cnso had been called for trial. The state's witnesses recited the faots of tbo entry into the house and tlio scuffle be tween Miss Luddlngton and Carroll and his subsequent arrest. The defense bad thirty or forty witnesses , all of whom testified to Carroll's condition before nud after the rob bery. Unch ono swore that ho was so drunk that ho was not icsponslblo for his acts , and hardly knew where ho was or what ho was doing , The cose will be argued and submitted this morning. In Judge IIopcwcU's court tlio cnso of John Schmidt "against Peter Lyons is on trial. Joyous is one of Schmidt's tenants nnd the landlord Is suing for damages thai were- Drought about by Lyons and his children. Thorasoof the state against John Mc- Nnramy will go on in Judge Clarkson's court this morning. The defendant is the man who some weeks ago robbed Albert Si Kltchlo of a gold watch anil n small amount of money. George II. Scott proposes to mnko Phelps Brothers pay for an injured rcnutatinn. Last Juno Scott was In the employ of C. Uosso & Co. as a traveling man , and while so em ployed 1'helin Brothers swore out a com plaint charging him with stealing $17.45. The case was tried in police court and thb complaint dismissed. Scott has iiow brought suit to recover $5,000 , damages. A DOCTOR'S CONPESS1O.V. Uo Doesn't Take Much Mcdiolno and "Humbug ) Ofcourso It Is. The so-called science of medicine is n humbug nnd has been from the time of Hippocrates to the present. Why tlio biggest crauk in tbo Indian tribes Is the medicineman , " "Very frank was the admission , especially so wlicn it came from ono of the bigges't young physicians of the city , ono who o prac tice is among the thousands , though ho 1ms been graduated but a few years , " says the Buffalo Courier. "Very cosy was his ofllce , too , with its cheerful grate lire , its Queen Anne furniture , and Its many lounges nnd easy chairs. Ho stirred the tire lazily , lighted a fresh cigar , and went on. " "Take the prescriptions laid down in the books nnd what do you find ! Poisons inn inly , nnd nauseating stuffs tlmt would mnko n healthy man tin invalid. Why in the world science should go to poisons for Its remedies I cannot tell , nor can Hind any one who can " "How does a doctor know the offset of his mcdlclnol" ho asked. "Hocalls , prescribes , nnd goes away. The only way to Judge would bo to stand over the bed and watch the pa- tlont. This cannot bo dono. Bo. really , I don't know how ho Is to toll what good or hurt ho does. Sometime ago , you remember , the Boston Glebe sent out a. reporter with a stated wet of symptoms. Howont to eleven prominent physicians and brought back eleven different prescriptions. This Just shows how much science there Is in medi cine. There nro local diseases of various charac- ters for which nature provides positive romo- dlcs. They may not uo Included In the regu lar physician's list , perhaps , because of their simplicity , but tbo evidence of their curative power isbcyond dispute. Kidney disease Is cured by Warner's Safe Cure , a strictly herbal remedy. Thousands of persons , every year , write ns does H. J. Gardiner , of Pontl- ac. H. I , August 7 , IS'JO : "A. few years ago I suffered moro than probably over will bo known outside of my self , with Idilnoy and liver complaint. It Is the old story I vis I ted doctor of tor doctor , but tono-uvait. I was at Newport , and Dr. Blackmail .recommended Warner's Bafo Cure , I commenced tha use of it. and found relief immediately. Altogether I tookthreo bottles , and I truthfully state It cured me. " IimjIUtUPXED THE A Former Rector Culls a Candidate for the Priesthood a llnr. At Trinity church in Grant ! Itnplds , Mich , , the other day during' the cerepi ' mony of tbo ordination'to the priesthood of the Rov. II. H. Johnston , u highly sensational secuo occurred. At that poiut ia the service where the bishop challenges the people to declare whatever - ever moral impediment may bo in the way of tlio ordaining of the candidate , the Rov. II. S. Woodford , formerly rooh tor of Trinity parish , stopped into the chaucel und enid : "In the name of God I como forward to protest against the continuance of this ceremony on the ground of the habitual untruthfulness of the caudidnto. " Bishop Gillosnio domnndod that the protestor immediately make his specifi 1- cations and produce hia witnesses 1o 1n the spot , says n. special to tlio Chicago Tribune , woodford declared hlmsulf nnablo to tlo this , saving thut ho had learned certainly that the ordination was to occur today , but the bishop insisted that the trial occur then and there. Woodford asked for only a few hours' ' delay , but it was denied him. IIo stated that this action hail not boon taken without the bishop's knowledge but hud been done with his [ p tacit approval , but this the bishop do- p nounced us false , when pressed by the bishop to name the witnesses , Woodford declared that ho had talked with no ono about it , and therefore could not toll o what they would testify tobut ho named few who could if they would testify tdO d curtain things. The witnesses were all o absent , and the bishop called on them 11V 11o a como forward and salu that unless tlioy sj did BO on tlio instant , the ceremony would go on. So the ceremony wont on and Johnston was ordaiucd. Mr. Johns ton is n Canadian and came to this city demon u year ago , { Th a combination of ingredients found In r Ayer's 1'llla renders them toolo and curative an well as cathartic.

O'Nalll , the North Ninth street plumber , walked out yes terday afternoon and have not yet returned to work. The men say that Mr. O'Neill re fused to nbido by a law of the union rotating to the number of Jobbers employed. The uulon law says that one jobber sball ho allowed to every three plumbers employed , and If there nro four employed nnotber job ber mnv bo hired. It appears that Air.

Rules Which May Disrupt a Female Social Organization. Ono of if not actually the largest young woman's social organizations in the vil lage of Jamaica is St. Mary's , bays a Now York special to the San Francisco Examiner. Its members arc the young women connected with the Santa Mon ica's On t hello church , nnd its o Djs-.ii is the social promotion of HH members. Its success is duo to the interest taken in it by tlio sister teachers of the parochial school. The membership roll boars the names at present of nearly one hundred , but the indications are thnt there will bo un alarming decrease if the rules laid down are lived up to.

It is a pleasure for them to indulge in n little innocent flirtation , and they love to trillo with this little amusement , which seine say border on the nuughty. The Sister teachers dlffor in opinion , and in their eyes it appears unbecoming nnd decidedly unladylike. Naturally In this opinion the parents agree. The young women , however , take a view extremely - tromoly opposite. It is moro than probable - able thut next Sunday will show a great number of resignations. 1C02.
