Hull's l.llc llrnml ,
LINCOLN , Nob. , March 0. [ Special to Tnu
BEE. ] Harry Hall , n convict at the state
penitentiary , has boon making a desperate
Attempt to obtain his freedom and tbo legal
tight ho has made has been Ingenious enough
to deserve a bettor reward than ho received
today by a decision of iho supreme court ,
which remands him bacK to his cell for an
other year at least. The state penitentiary
contains no inmate with a inoto Interesting
history than that ot Harry Hall. Ho was
convicted of murder In the second degree in
March , 183. ! , Itr Choyeniio county , and by
Judge Qaslln sentenced to Imprisonment for
life. When ho wns arraigned ho pleaded
KUllty with the understanding , as ho alleges ,
that his sentence would not bo for a longer
term than ten years and that oven that time
would bo shortened by executive clemency.
Ho wns placed in the penitentiary on April
6 , IbS'J , at the ago ol US. Ho fully believed
that when the circumstances of his plea , sen
tence anil Incarceration became known to the
governor the arrangement would bo cairlcd
Into effect ; but the yours followed each other
into the dim recesses of the misty past nni' ' the
lone looked for pardon never came. Finally
despairing of the promised clemency Hull
made his escape on January 5 , 18SS. He was
recaptured In Provo City , U. T. , and on De
cember U , 183'J , was again placed behind the
bar * .
Ills case hy this tlmo attracted the execu
tive attention and on January 2 , 1S9I , his
excellency , Governor Thnyor , commuted his
I Bontenco from life to nine years actual tlmo.
' Jlall now claimed that under the provisions
y of the statutes ho was entitled to a reduction
of his sentence on the ground ol good be
havior. Ho accordingly made an applica
tion to the supreme court of the state for his
freedom on a writ of habeas corpus , claiming
'that by good behavior his nine years term
liad been shortened to .six years and live
months , and that he had actually served
seven years , eleven months nnd txvcnty days.
The supreme court hold today that me
language of the commutation meant nine full
yeais In the penitentiary and that the
prisoner was not entitled to the bcuollt of
the provisions of the law known as the
"oood tlmo act" for the purpose of reducing
bis term to loss than nine years.
HiinkliiK Act IH Cim tltiitioiml ,
Some wcoks ago the constitutionality of
the state banking act was attucuod bv
Messrs. Kstabrook and Webster of Omaha ,
attorneys for a Chicago llrin ot commission
merchants. The case arose out of tbo old
case known as the state against the Ex
change bank of Mllllgun. This bank hud
boon closed by the state banking board and
n receiver appointed by tbo supreme court ,
After the business of the bank had been
wound up the Chicago house referred to ap
peared with a claim for $5UIM ) that had not
ocfore been board of. Messrs. EstubroOk
and Webster attacked the constitutionality
of the banking act , alleging that it coiiferreii
original Jurisdiction noon the supreme court
In cases not contemplated by the constitu
tion.
In an opinion handed doxvn today thu
supreme court declares that the law Is cori-
Htltutional , The decision , which was read
by Judge Post , declares : "Tho purpose ol
the act , viz. , to protect depositors and In
sure solvent banking InstitutlODs is not only
within the constitutional powers of tbo legis
lature , but is certainly u judicious oxcrchu
of such power. The legislature has by this
net not only prescribed the conditions upon
which any corporation , tirtn or individual
may engage In business of banking , but bus
provided that in cases of a violation of Its
provisions by a failure to comply with thu
conditions or terms imposed the state may
interfere hy means of ttio agencies provided
Dy law In order to protect those interested
and to prevent a diversion of funds from the
purpose to which they should bo applied ,
Whether the application for a receiver Is ad'
dressed to this court or to the district courl
the effect is tbo same. It is an exorcise o !
the sovereign power of the state for purpose
and In a manner plainly provided by law. "
Wiiltlui ; for the Mandate.
A great deal of comment has been engendered
derod by the alleged failure of the mandate
In the Boyd-Thayer case to roach the clorli
of the Nebraska supreme court and thi
Irtonds of General Tbuycr are freely assert
ing that it is being withheld by Uovcruoi
Boyd's attorneys for sinister purposes. It ii
known that the manauto was delivered u
General Garland a week ago. Govornoi
Boyd and his friends laugh nt the idea thai
the attorneys have any ulterior motive It
withholding the mandate.
Regarding the statement published in an
Omaha paper this morning to the effect thai
tbo papers reopening tha case had been pre
pared nnd Mgned , General Thayer stated u
THE BBE representative this afternoon thn' '
the story was a clumsy piece of fiction will
not a shadow of a foundation. Ho leaves foi
the east in n low days on purely private bus !
ness and has given the old contest case n <
consideration whatever.
I.pgillutlvo Vic tin Tabulated.
A tabulated summary of the replies to tin
letter addressed by Governor Boyd to tti <
members of the legislature , la which hi
uskod their views in regard to an extra ses
nion , has boon prepared and It reveals some
Interesting facts.
Twenty-eight senators responded to the in
qulry. Of these , seven were In favor of ai
extra session , fifteen were opposed and si :
wore noncommittal. Of those senators re
plying fourteen favored the proposition for i
maximum rate bill , eleven wore opposed am
three noncommittal. Of the eleven opposed
six declared that nothing less than the Now
berry bill would bo acceptable.
Of ninety-five ropllos received from meui
bers of the house , thirty-seven favored th
call for an extra session , forty-four opposei
it , and fourteen were noncommittal. O
tboso replying iitty favored railroad lolsln
tion , twenty-six were onposod , and nluotoe
were noncommittal. Of the twcnty-sl
opposed twenty-three declared that nothln
Icis than the Nowbcrry bill would bo accept
nblo. Those mentioned n * noncommittal iir
republicans who simply opposed the idea c
calling such u session.
Mil at I'uy tlio I'nll Amount ,
A case somewhat out of tbo usual order c
suits at law was decided by an opinln
handed down by thu supreme court th :
nioruiiii" . The cashier of tbo Bank of Wen
orn. In tbls state drew a draft for one of hi
customers on the Chase National bunk e
Now York. The draft stated the amount i
figures as "MOO , " and in writing "flvo at.
no 100 dollars. " The purchaser paid tb
cashier f.VX ) for the draft and supposed
was for that amount. The cashier Of tli
Cbaio National bank refused to pay moi
than 15. The Hank of Western atlorwaii !
went Into the bands of u receiver. The si
pro me court held that upon tbe concede
facts the purchaser wan entitled to bo pal

The heavy northwest wind which started
to blow about I o'clock Wednesday morning
wus simply a drought of air cnuscd by an ex
traordinarily Cnorgntlc storm crossing the
great lakes and accompanied , as a matter of
course , by a depression of temperature ,
much of which Is duo to the rapid
rising of the barometer and high winds from
northern latitude : * . Up to midnight last
nlcht the maxlmlim velocity of wind re
corded at the United State * weather bnroau
onico was forty-two miles per hour. Ever
slnco the gale commenced the average veloc
ity per hour had boon thirty-six miles.
Wniio the wind has whistled
around the corners at a pretty lively
gait the present gale Is hardly
to ho compared with others which Omaha
has experienced In the past. In May of lUTtl
the wind blew at the rnto of fifty miles an
hour from the south , and In November of the
same year the signal service Instruments
registered fUty-ona miles per hour. During
a storm in Juno , 1878 , a record of sixty miles
was made , and the same thing occurred In
Juno , 18SJ.
A blizzard about this tlmo In March. 1880 ,
sent tlio wind whistling down the Missouri
vultoy at the rate of llfty-two miles In sixty
minutes.
A heavy northwest storm In Juno , 1SS1 ,
caused tbo signal sorvloD auemomotor to re
cord a velocity of tlfty-six tulles an hour.
In February , ISSSI , Omaha was visited by a
hurricane which blow down the walls of the
old Max Meyer building at the corner of
Eleventh and Fainnui streets , causing a con-
slUorublo loss of life. During this gala the
north ulna blow at the rate of forty nine
miles an hour.
At 7 o'clock last night the wind was blow
ing through the streets of Sioux City at the
rate ot forty-eight miles. The maximum
velocity reported was Ufty-slx miles. Yank-
ton , S. D. , reported twenty-eight miles at 7
p. in. with a maximum of forty-eight mllos.
Sumo of ItH FreuttH.
All day yesterday pedestrians were Uopt
dodging signs and fragments of roof which
hud beou loosened by the wind and were
blown about the stroots.
A high cnimnoy at the now St. Joseph's
hospital was blown down and crasDed
through the slate roof , doing considerable
damage.
Several of tbo ornaments on the turrets of
Trinity cathedral were t&rn loose and fell to
the grouud. The tin dorntco on the building
occupied by Hospo on Douglas street was
loosened by the g.ilo and threatened to tall
any moment. In orderto , avoid accidents a
rope was stretched across the sidewalk , thus
compelling uodostriau to walk in the street
while passing the dangerous locality.
Owing to the difllculty of Uceptng up
steam In such a gale the cable cars were run
vorjr slowly all day yestdrday and last night.
Tue motors suffered to souie'extont , and the
uiotormcu found It liqppssible to run as fust
as usual.
A trolley wire on the Sixteenth street line
at Sixteenth and Capitol avenue.broko about ?
o'clock lust night , and foil to the
street. The fact that the wire was
a llvo 0110 was 'apparent to every
one in' the vicinity , for as the doadlv wire
was shaken and swung by the wind a really
line pyrotochlo display , was given to tno
spectators free ot charge. All tao cars on
the line wore stopped for about an hour
while the damage was'being repaired.
Uhim.io.vs ullovor town Were blown down ,
causing more or loss damage.
The telephone and telegraph service was

glass fell with a crash to the bottom of the
rotunda.
One of the glass fronts at Stonehill'x ' , one
at Morse's and one at tbo Golden Kaglo
adjoining Stonohlll's , were blown in
within a few minutes of each other. The
damage will amount to several hundred del
lars.

A heavy plato , 8x10 foot in size , in the
front of the north store room on the ground
floor of the Goodrich block at Twenty-fourth
and Paul , was smashed by the falling of tbo
awning , whloh was torn from its fastenings.
A smaller light in tbo front of the No-
urusko Steam laundry at Sixteenth and
Howard was also wrecked.
Hard on the I'lremon.
The firemen probably bavo moro causa
to complain about the storm than anybody
else. For nearly twenty-four hour * there
xvas trouble in tbo department wires.
Frequently during the day and almost
constantly last night loosened and broken
wires were coming In contact with tbo tire
lines and tbo big boll on top of the head
quarters house , as well as all the fire alarm
gongs in the city wore Itont riuglng.
It was useless for the man to try to sleep
and so the majority of thorn aat around the
stoves in their houses with their running
clothes on in order to bo ready at a moment's
notice in casu a bona lido call wus sent in.
The horses were driven nearly wild by the
oxciteuiont and constant ringing of the bells
and pawed and stamped in their stalls ,
anxious to bo freo. The drivers did the best
they could to quiet the restive animals but
wltnout success , for every time tbo boll
tapped the intelligent boasts would make a
jump toward their places in the harness.
Nearly all the wires between hero and
Chicago were either down or In trouble and
consequently the weather ollluo oQiclais

The outorprlslng burglar continues to bur
gle with monotonous regularity. The ron-
tloman now plnylna an ongngomout of an in-
dcllnlto uumiior ot nights in Omaha appears
to bo no novlco nnd permits no throats of po-
llco or press to disturb his professional
serenity.

Tuesday nlcht ho visited Sloan , Johnson &
Co.'s wholesale grocery. From the alloy on
'
the north side of the building ho ofTeclo'd nn
entrance into tbo warehouse , and thus to the
oflle-o. The safe Is located In n largo fire
proof vault , the door ot which wns drilled
and broken open. After two or three inef
fectual attempts , shown by the holes drilled
in the door , ho bored his way through and
poured lu sufficient powder to
blow up n man - of - war. Then
he closed the outer vault door ,
returned to the oftlco , selected a few delica
cies from the sample shrives In the shape of
plcklos , canned sardines , salmon , etc. , coolly
opened tbe cans and sat down to enjoy himself -
self nnd wait for the earthquake. When
this occurred ho returned to the vault , closed
the door , turned on the electric light and
began Ms search. Dcods , drafts , checks , In-
suraui-o policies , etc. , ho had no use for and
they were found scattered about the lloor.
In the money drawer , however , there was
(91.00 , which came in after banking hours ,
and this he pocketed.
The burglar xvas lucky , for the vault Is
merely for llro protection and rarely contains
moro than n dollar's worth of postage
stamps.
The damage done to the safe nnd vault
amounts to about $ i" > 0.
The linn now proposes , for the Information
ot future visitors of the same purMinslon , to
post in a conspicuous place n lognnd to in
form all comers In the plainest and largest
round hand that "this vault is not locked. "

To whom It May Concern ;
This Is to cortliv Unit I Imvo boon a
constant sulToror foV mnny yotiM with
catarrh , asthma and 'bronchial ' alTou-
tlona of tin ) throat , and trioil all the
imtont inmllelnoft and remedies I ever
lieard ot , but with no success. 1 ticatcd
with doctors in various purls of the
country , but none of them could do mo
any good further than giving mo shor
temporary relief. I hullorod nlirht an-
day. and continued to grow worse not
withstanding all the medicine I had
taken. I had almost given up my case
as hopeless when I was Informed by a
frloml of Dr. C. Goo Wo , the Clilneso
doctor , nnd advised to go and hoe him in
the hope of getting relief at least , if not
a permanent cure for my trouble. I was
alow in making up my mind to make
such n radical change in my treatment ,
as I know a trial with the Chinese elou-
lor would bring mo , but I llnally eon
clutled to give him a tritil. so I called at
his ollico with that intention. I lound
the doctor n clover , entertaining gentleman -
man , thoroughly posted on my condi
tion , and it took only n vary short tlmo
to convince mo that ho was the parly I
was so long in search of. Ho told mo
my case was curable , and that ho could
euro mo , and pronarctl mo a special
treatment to suit my condition , and in
two weeks 1 was so much hotter thnt I
had the fullest confidence In the doctor's
ability and committed my case to his
treatment. I continued lo grow better
rapidly and am now entirely wall. I
owe my cure to Dr. C. Goo Wo , and am
not ashamed to admit it. I advise all
who want rollof from tholr troubles to
call on Dr. C. Goo Wo , and they will ho
cured. For all particulars apply or
