AFFIDAVITS OF THE WRECKER IGNORED rinltitllb In All the Suit ! Filed at Mnooln Will Probably lie Permitted to Take Judgment by Default. LINCOLN , Nov. 4. [ Special to Tna BBS. ] f Charley Mosher has a few moro rounds with the Lancaster attorneys he is likely to realize that the fine laid plans of hlinsolf and backers are likely to miscarry in a great many Important cases. Judge Tlbbets this morning ordered Mosher's affidavits in the personal suits brought against him to bo stricken from the records. Mosher's attor ney , C. O. Whodon , made an earnest effort to prevent the ruling from affecting any but the ono case upon which an attempt was made Thursday to examine Mosher , bift the court bold that Mosher had been informca that ho was to be examined In relation to all of the cases brought against him personally. Many of these cases are important and involve the IMbscsslon of a heavy block of assets which Mosher had endeavored to transfer to other parlies a few days before the failure of the Capital Nat ional bank. The effect of the order of Judge Tibbetts in striking Mosher's answer from the records is to clve tbe plaintiffs judgment in default. Tried to lltiif Illuiiolf. Frank Huber is In the county jail await ing sentence from the court for grand lar ceny , of which he was convicted last week. He is suspected of having a rapid transit system concealed iu his headpiece , and con sequently his frequent threats that ho would commit suicide have been laughed at by bis fellow prisoners. Yesterday ho bid thorn his customary farewells , saying that when he woke up tula morning he would be a dead corpse , or words to that effect. ' 1 hey scoffed and told him he was 190 much of a coward to kill himself. At 1 o'clock this morning Jailer Langdon was awakened by a clamor in Hubor's cull. The cullmato was shaking the iron doors and j oiling at the top of his voice. A hasty visit to thu cell revealed the fact that Huber had knotted hU suspenders into a rope , nud with them suspended hlmselt to a bar in tbe ventilator of bis cell , He was apparently unconscious vtlicn cut down , but the sheriff noticed tbat Uio man's toes were con veniently near the floor while be was hang , ing up by the neck. Another hasty exami nation convinced the jailor that his man was merely shaming unconsciousness. He called for a fiat board and gave tbe man who had tried tosuspend himself in to the next world a resounding whack on the bottoms of his bare feet. The euro was as effectual as it was e * | > ectod. Huber regained his wander ing senses with a jar that shook his cere bral arrangements to their center. He is all ripht today ana has said nothing more about quitting the jail oy the suicide route. \Vrongeit Her bitter. The somewhat sensational features of the Raub elopement caie were chronicled in these columns last week. Mrs. Raub furnished the finishing chapter in her do mestic tragedy by filing with the clerk of the alstrict court a petition for a divorce from bar recalcitrant husband. She alleges that she was married to the man in IbSO. but that since her sister came to live with them in Kasl Lincoln her husband aud the girl were guilty of conduct that would not look well In print. On February 23 of the present jear abu alleges that the faithless and graculuss pair committed a specific act r tabooed by the moral and civil law , and that simply because she was so unfortunate as to catc.li them at it hei husband beat her into iaseasiuUity.

Symes , ex-congressman , a prominent attorney , one of Colorado's pioneers and one of Denver's wealthiest and most prominent citizens , lies at the morgue. " Mr. Symcs killed himself , presumably ; while laboring under pain BO intense , that its reason was temporarily affected. The suicide occurred in room TO , Symes block , some time between 0 o'clock last evening and 12 o'clock today. H fl was discovered at that hour by the colored Janitor , who , knock ing at Judge Symes' door nnd xeeelvint : no answer , inserted hs pass key and entered the room. He was horrified by discovering tils cmplo.\er , sitting inu chair before him quite dead. Ttio coroner was immediately notified and repaired to the death chamber. There a ghastly sight greeted him. Reclining on an ordinary office chair , his frame stiffened and his mouth gaping open , lay the remains of Mr. Symes. On the floor a pool of blood had congealed which partially surrounded a murderous looking weapon , a 45-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver. This plainly in dicated the manner of death , and a brief glance at the stricken man showed too well how quickly the terrible deed was accom plished. Judge Symes was clad only in his night shirt when he killed himself. But one shot was taken , and death must have been instantaneous. The dead man leaves a wife and daughter , who are at present visiting In Massachusetts. He was wounded in the splnd during the war , and of late has suffered greatly from it and been much depressed. Before his death ho wrote the following no to to his wife : MTDEAiiKnT vii'c : I have a terrible attack o ( congestion of the back and brain.

Your loving husband , 0. 0 , STUBS. Mr. Checsman , who is referred to above , says that Judge Symes has been worrying about his business affairs , and in addition to this was In very poor health. His suicide was a great surprise to him , however. George G. Symes was born in Ashtabula county , Ohio , April 23,1840 , nnd was there fore not quite 54 years old. He was a mem ber of the Twenty-fifth rezlment , Wisconsin infantry , of which ex-Secretary of Agricul ture Jerry Rusk was lieutenant colonel.

POLICE OFFICERS HAVE TO BE CALLED IN Attempt to .Elect a Temporary Socoetior to Carter Harrison Kudi In a DUgraoe- ful now A Lively Time lor 'While. CHICAGO , NOT. 4. A disgraceful riot occurred in the council chamber today when the aldermen mot to elect a successor lo the murdered mayor , lion. Carter H. Harrison. Rivalry for the chairmanship of tbe meeting caused a fight in the council chamber almost as soon aa tbe session opened. The council Is almost evenly divided politically. The republicans have a slight majority , but the fact that the dead mayor was a democrat tended to equalize the voting strength. There has been a fierce factional quarrel among the republicans , the followers of George B. Swift , who beat Martin B. Madden for the republican mayoralty nomination , being accused by Madden's friends of "indecent haste" to force Swift into office , The control of the adminlstratioa patronage and prestige In tbo coming election , November 7 , has added fuel to the fire. A large number of judges are to bo elected and extraordinary Interest attaches to tMo result , owing to the contest being made by Governor Altgeld's friends against Judge Gary , who presided at the trial of the Hayraarket anarchists. Alderman McGillon , democrat , and H P. Burn , republican , were nominated for chair man of today's meeting of the ( ouncil , and at the call of the roll the clerk announced that McGilleu was elected. He rushed to the speaker's chair and seized the gavel. Iteillum Itroko I.uoie. Bedlam followed. Amid turmoil and shoutBi Alderman Hepburn , who Is an ad. herent of * the Madden republican faction , mounted the speaker's chair and the clerk attempted to throw him out , Both aldermen claimed the election , and each called for the reading of different resolutions. Hepburn , the re publican , insisted that a resolution by Alderman Madden bo heard , and the latter began to read , while the clerk road a dfmo- cr.Uio resolution. Madden handed his reso lution to Hepburn and the olerk jumped upon Hepburn , seized the resolution and tore it to shreds. In an instant Alderman Swift , the repub lican candidate for mayor , had run to tbo speaker's dusk , leaped over the rail and alighted on Clerk Neuineister's back. The democrats rushed to the front. Alderman Carey throw off his coat and leaped at Hep burn's throat. Both sides ran to tba aid of their men. IJuletod by the OHloer * . "Police , police , " was the call. Officers ran In and tried to eject Hepburn. They also grappled with Carey , and made him put on his coat. "For God's sake , act like men , " shouted Alderman Campbell from the top of his desk. Alderman Swift rushnd to the speaker's desk and shook hands with Alderman Me- Oillen. Police Inspector Rots stood behind. ' Take your seats , " ordered Alderman Me- Gillen. "One at a time. The chair will recognize you in time. " I demand to be heard , " said Alderman Hepburn. Uproar followed. Excited cries rang from every part of the chamber , The jiollce were kept busy stopping acutUing. Finally , Alderman Swift secured the fl or , "I recognize you as chairman , " he saidad > dressing McUillen , "I ask my friends to do so. I will put it to a vote. " "No , no , no vole , " went up the cries. "I am cbalriaau , " answered McGUlen. 'I am a man not addicted to unfalrnosi I will treat you right. " The meeting then quieted down somawhat and a resolution was put through providing 'or a special election to be held tha third Tuesday of the present month , thus ending : he attempt to elect the dead mayor's suc cessor at today's special meeting of tha council. This was a partial triumph for the Madden - den republicans , but the chairmanship of the council goes to tno democrats , who , as a result of tha Swift republican help , are In alliance with Swift and ho may ultimately triumph. Disorder Renewed. Later on Alderman Madden presented a resolution providing for the selection by the extra session of a temporary mayor. Alder man Tripp had introduced a similar resolu tion , and in the attempted discussion which followed another disgraceful scene of disor der ensued. Tbe police were called upon to restore order and the howling aldermen v ere forced to take their seats. Tripp's resolution was finally passed and swift placed in nomination by the republicans - licans , while McGUlen was nominated by the democrats for mayor pro tern. The bal loting resulted in thirty-four votes for Swift , thirty-three for McGUlen and one blank , and the chair ruled "No election. " The excitement in the corridors outslua the council chamber was intense daring the row. Special details of officers were called and , with difficulty , handled the crowd , which wildly surged back and forth In an endeavor to.galn entrance to the meeting. The republican members loft the council chamber , but the democrats feared to move , as they feared the opposition might , with its quorum and majority ( thirty-five votes ) , elect a temporary mayor. After an absence of one hour the republicans returned and the session was regularly adjourned. Counsel was called in , but was unable to decide whether or not Swift had beea elected. Action \ty \ the Shortlv after Chairman McGUlen refused to declare Swift elected on the vote of 4 to S3 and ono blnnlr the republican aldermen withdrew to the anteroom of the council chamber. They proceeded immediately to - fewuar in Swift as mavor. County Cleric Wulff administered the oath , which was drawn up nnd attested. The mutter will now rest until the regular meeting of tha council on Monday night. Tonight thn coun cil chamber is guarded by police. " 1H.\K" IU HEbl'J'Jl ITK.
