The startled young man called for assistance ami the police wcro promntly notified. Binccla appeared to bo dead. The Interior of the stand looked like n slaughter houso. Blood was spattered nil over the lloor and bod. Illaccla's head had live gaping knlfa wounds in it. The man was taken to the Presbyterian hospital , and nt 0 o'clock last night hud not recovered consciousness. His attendants Btnto that the man had been drinking. Ho is frightfully Rashcd about the head mid Is very weak from the excessive loss of blood.

Ofllccrs wcro put at work on the case , but han obtained no clew up to a late hour last night. They ascertained that Blnccla was ECCII sitting outside his little box which ho calls a store us late as 1 : ! ! ( ) yesterday morn ing. Ho wa4 assaulted some time between tlmt hour and daylight. There are bloody linger marks on the door to the shanty and the oHlccrs think ho was assaulted or In jured In n light outside and buiug able to reach his homo staggered there mid fell exhausted from the great loss of blood , It Is thought that the assault could not have been made for purposes of robbery , as his watch and W or 4-9 wcro found in his pockets. There aru no signs of a struggle Inside the stated , and from the door to the cot are streaks of blood. The victim must have become sick , ai he vomited near the door , and when lound was on the cot six feet away from the entrance. Biaccla's stand is on the corner of n lot on Fifteenth and Davenport streets , about twenty-live feet from a house occupied by a family. None of the family heard any un usual noise , and no weapons wcro found in the fruit sttuul , so that the theory of the police that the assault was committed else where seems plausible. lilarcia is In a critical condition. It was developed last night that Blaccla had a quarrel with another Italian in front of his fruit stand between 10 and 11 o'clock Saturday night. The men did not come to blows , but the police believe now that the fellow returned about 2 o'clock in thu morn ing and that the men fought to settle their differences. The indications are that the assault was the result of some feud and that Biaccla's assailant Is the man with whom ho quarreled early in the evening. Caught at l.nst. John Burkus was arrested by Officer Mitchell yesterday afternoon on the charge of forgery. It Is said that this is the man who re cently duped a number of Om'iihn grocori by presenting forged orgcrs on Adolph Meyer for goods. Ho would take part of the order with him and order the balance sent to tnc house , where the forgery was dotccted. It IB alleged that bo also forged cheeks on Fred Krug and Ernest Stunt for J ! > 5 and $15 respectively. Just after the arrest , Mr. Krug came along mid identi fied Burhus. Mr. ICrug told Officer Mitchell that ho would flic a complaint against the man today. The prisoner is accused of pass ing about ten forged checks ana orders. Ho eluded the oflicors by moving from plaeo to jiluco. Ho was located at the old Peabodv house on Jones and Fourteenth streets. Mrey Ule.

Qrantlmm for a number of years past wns the contlilontlal clerk for Coffman Bros , ft Smiley , the South Omaha commission IIrm , and always bore an excellent reputation. The llrm placed the utmost conllilcnce in him anil ho had charge of their llnanrcs. He ' i received moneys and drew checks , which , in the aggregate , annually run up into the thousands of dollars. A few months ago ho led to the altar ono of the loadliu ? young ladles of South Omaha and his future seemed bright and promising. They moved in good society and were among the social leaders. Ono evening a few weeks ago Granthtimwith his \f\to \ , visited a sociable. Ho did not remain , but came back later , and as his wife was not ready to go ho again left , saying he would return in time to accompany her home. That was the last seen of the young man , and his disappear ance was shrouded in mystery. All were nt a loss to account for bis behavior , and his family and friends suspected foul piny. A search was instituted for the missing man with the result that n few days later ho was located at big mother's homo in Illinois. Ho remained there a few hours and was put aboard a train for Omaha. Ho never reached hero , however , ana again all trace of him was lost. , Oos lp' Titttltnt ; Tollgup. I By this time ugly rumors concerning the young man were alloat. It was charged on the streets that ho- tempted fortune with the cards and had lost heavily. A proprietor of a gambling resort said that Gruiithaiu wns in bis place on the night ho disappeared and thnt he twisted the tiger's tall. Humor also said that ho had lost heavily .and had used his employer's money. These rumors caused the commission llrm to have their books examined. There was a startling revelation. Grnntham , it is said , was found to bo an embezzler to the inn omit of $1,000. , Steps wcro taken to locate him and secure a settlement. The llrm was not anxious to prosecute and desired a settlement only. This they claim never to have brought about , and then a complaint was filed clmrg- ing Granthum with embezzling $1,000 , and the warrant for his arrest was placed In the hands of Deputy Sheriff John Lewis. The ofllccr located his man in the wooded dis trict near Marseilles , 111. , where Grantham has a brother residing. Wednesday of last week , arnica with the necessary requisition papers from Governor Crounso , Mr. Lewis departed for Illinois. Kxtr.ntitoil from Illinois. A visit to Sprlngflelil and a call upon Gov ernor Altgeld resulted lu the papers for the extradition of the fugitive being issued. Then the deputy sheriff so't out for Mar seilles. Ho found him at his brother's. The young mau was averse to returning with the oOlccr , and in this he was backed up by the family present. They claimed v > have effected a settlement with the commission llrm and said that $1,100 in cash had been paid over. However , there was but one course for Mr. Lewis to pursue and that was to bring Ins man to Omaha. After a great deal of argu ment ho succeeded in getting Grantham on the way and arrived in the city with him. yesterday afternoon. The young man was then placed in jail. Mr. Lewis says that Grantham Is as sound in mind as any ono and that there is no indi cation that his mind was affected , as his friends intimated at the time of his disap pearance. A settlement of the case may bo brought about without a prosecution , as it is under stood the firm is not desirous of pushing the young man. O. A. 1C. Comrades , Attcnton !

The African .Mothotllst Eplscop.il church at Eighteenth anJ Webster streets was crowded to the doors yesterday morning l > y nn Intelligent uudlunco that hnd cotigrepu- _ tcd to listen to the word of God , ns ex pounded by Uov. Dr. Coupon of Phila delphia , and editor of the Christian He- cotdcr and Quarterly Kovlow of the African Methodist Kplscopul church of the United States. Dr. Coppon is a colored ninn and ono who possesses ffoat brain power. Ho Is tin elo quent and polished spc.ikcr. Yesterday mornlnK ttui learned dlvluo addressed his hearers , Informing thorn that the causa of Christianity could bo easily espoused hy these who follotrcd thti teachings of the Lord anil wcro willing to understand the nature of Ills coming into the world to save it from sin. With Glirlst'scomliig lie broupht a now cia of things , redeeming the world from the cloud of darkness with which It had been enveloped for ninny centuries. There wcro many rconlo who wcro ready and will ing to crlticiso the actions und deeds ot Christians , but that was expected , for when the Savior was upon earth His actions wcro the subject of criticism , especially when and at tlto tlmo of His dining with the tnx- giithercrs. Upon this particular occasion the people scoffed nnu naked of thedlsclplcs : "What kind of a leader have you that ho will associate " and alt at the table with such men ? This , the speaker said , worried the apostles und they at once went to Christ , tolling Him of the questions that had been naked and the comments that had been nmdp. Dlvluo r.ovo of ( ! oI. Smiling , the Lord told them that thcra was no danger and that Ho had been sent to help those who wcro needy and not the ones who wcro whole anil washed in the blood of the lamb. Christianity , Dr. Coppcn said , was for the very purpose outlined tiy Christ in the statement made to the twelve apes tles. Men were apt to forget this and over value every thing except the love of God , and this they \cro prone to regard ns the most precious boon of u Savior who had died to save a sinful world. Money was a good thing to have ; it was hard to get and still harder to get along without , but in every instance - stance the value of money was overesti mated , while In almost every instance the love of God was undervalued and underesti mated. Hotter tliuu Ciolii nnil Glory. There were men who would sacrifice any and everything for fume , notwithstanding the fact that there was something better than wealth or famo. and that was the un dying love of God , which was as everlasting as the eternal hills which were builued by the hand of the Almighty. Unhapiiiness , Dr. Coppon contended , wns the root of all evil ; it was ono of the prime couscs of sinfulness and an enemy th.it was found in every community. It could , however - over , be overcome If neonlo were more ready to cast their burdens upon the Lord and seek him when they .wore In need of relief. Man was created to bo happy and the state of unhappiucss was an abnormal condition. To prove the sentiment ho cited the lirst au- pearanco of Adam unit Eve in the Garden of Eden , Doth of whom were happy and con tented until something appeared between them and tholr God , after which hnpuincss was an unknown quantity and had continued to be such to u largo extent , at least , over since. Unhapplncss was a thing that sapped the very vitals , stole the bod.y and ucstro.vcd n perfect pcaco of mind ; It was like a candle that burned at both ends , eventually bring ing about a condition which caused u lack of confidence iu a creator of the universe. "Why has God aakod you to place your burdens upon Him ? " asked the speaker. Continuing , ho said it was because do was so great , because Ho was so powerful ami because Ho was so holy. No mini could look at the hills and the mountains , their heads reaching to the clouds , without recog nizing the power of God. His love , hownver , the speaker said , was greater than His -works. Ho Jovod the people of the earth be cause they were His children. Ho loved them with a degree of devotion greater than had over disturbed the breast of any human mortal. If God took an account , of the tens of thousands of sins which man committed there was not a man who would bo saved , but Ho was forgiving , overlooking many with n love that was incomparable on ac count of its greatness. This love was free to all , and could bo had for the asklntr , tTio only requirement being that mun should liuvu faith and follow the teaching of Christ. * "To IlllsllMssMi'ii. .
