LINCOLN , Feb. 2(5. ( ( Special to The Bee. )
-Tho enormous amount of litigation that has
followed the suspension of the Capital Na
tional bank Is to bo further Increased , and
It Is now more than likely that a number
of Well known luminous men nnd capitalists
of Lincoln will bo drawn Into court who have
not hitherto flcurod In the case. Ono of
these miltH will Illustrate the somewhat
peculiar transactions In vogue In Lincoln's
financial circles In the days Immediately
preceding the collapse of the Capitol Na.
tlonal swindle. The facts In the case may bo
Ktnted thug ;
On January 2 , 1802 , three weeks prior to
the failure of the bank , Moshor sold to Lang
Jlros. of DCS Molncs a note for $5,000 duo In
six months and Hlcncd by W. W. Marsh.
The man Marsh stood In nbout the same re
lation to Moshcr as did the man Hurlbut ,
who signed so many of the bogus Western
Manufacturing company notes. The note
was payable to Moaher , nnd when sold tel
l ing Bros , was endorsed by C. W. Moshor ,
Iconic Meyer and J. I ) . Macfarland , notice
of protest and non-payment being waived
and payment guaranteed.
On December 1C , 1892 , a month and two
Jayt prior to the bank's falluro Lang Bros.
purchased a similar note for $6,000 as above.
On January 5 , 1893 , Yonkcr Bros , of DCS
Molnos purchased n note for $12,000 signed
by Moahcr and Outcalt and endorsed by L.
Meyer and J. D. Macfarland.
It seems to bo pretty well settled that
MoHher nnd Outcalt , nnd ospcslally the lat
ter , will never bo nblo to pay the enormous
claims against them. Accordingly L.
Meyer nnd J. D. Macfarland will bo called
Into court and made Joint defendants with
Moslier. It Is not assorted that Meyer and
Macfarland had any Interest In the bogus
notes , for they may bo classed an the game
kind of paper as that which flooded the mar-
Ijot from the Western Manufacturing com
pany. Meyer and Macfarland signed the
notes , or endorsed them , rather , as a mere
matter of speculation. The notes drew 7
per cent Interest and the Capital National
paid 10 per cent for the use of the money.
Meyer and Macfarland simply pocketed the
3 per cent.
END OF A SALACIOUS CASE.
Attorney F. J. Kelley of this city has re
turned from Chicago , where he went to de
fend A. W. Stuart In n suit for bastardy
brought by Miss Grace Smith. This. Is the
case which created so great a general sen-
Nation In Lincoln last summer , the partic
ulars of which were duly chronicled In The
Dee at the time. Briefly recited the partic
ulars of the case are that two years ago n
iihlld was born to a young woman at Tabltha
homo In this city and afterwards placed In
the care of Mrs. J. R. Gorton , living at 1C2C
Q street. Mrs. Gorton held the child until
there was a board bill duo her and her sister
of several hundred dollars. Then she un
earthed n few facts which led her to "be
lieve that one Dalsey Smith was the mother
of the child and one "William A. "
uart of Chicago Its father. She sued them
tor the care of the child. Her attorney was
F. J. Kelly nnd so well did ho plead this
case that the court gave Judgment against
Mns ! Smith and her friend Stuart. On the
trial Miss Smith swore that Stuart's rela
tions toward her had been perfectly proper
and while she acknowledged that she was
the mother of the child she denied that
Stuart 'was Its father , The matter rested
until some -weeks ago Miss Smith -wont to
Chicago whore she sued Stuart for damages ,
claiming that he was the father Of the child.
Stuart telegraphed to Kelley and employed
him to defend. The case was dismissed on
n technicality and as the Illinois statutes
prevent the institution of a bastordy case
after the child Is 2 years old , It Is likely that
the Infant who has created so much dis
turbance , will go through life with but ono
parent. The child Is 2 years old today.
BURGLARIZED A SALOON.
Some time during last night thieves forced
a transom over the front door of the old
Two Charlies saloon on N street , between
Tenth and Eleventh streets. Once Insldo they
carried away the cash box and broke open
a nlcklo-in-thc-slot machine and secured n
small amount of change. The cash box con-
tallied $12.00 and was found early this niorn-
Ing by 'Detective Malone on Eighth street ,
between M and L. It had boon smashed to
pieces In order to got the money. No ar
rests have been made as yet , but the police
are watching ono or two suspects.

Judgment against Alex Halter for $7,230 for

SARGENT , Neb. , Feb. 2G. ( Special to The
Bee. ) A largo meeting was held hero Sat
urday to discuss the question of voting bonds
to aid In the construction of a railroad from
Albion , ' Neb. , to Taylor , byway of North
Loup , AVcscott nnd Sargent. Representa
tives of the parties desiring to build this
line were present and gave an outline of
what they Intended to do. Taylor , Sargent
and the other places through which the line
Is projected will bo asked to vote bonds and
furnish other aid. At the meeting held at
Sargent and Taylor It was decided without
a dissenting vote to grant all the aid for
the construction of the road that the law
would permit. Promlr.otit railroad men ut
Chicago are known to be Interested in this
movement and the now road Is expected to
connect at Albion with n road for the east.
The now road , as outlined , will run through
a rich fanning country Its entire length ,
which will furnish n largo traffic for the
road. Around Sargont Is n rich , well de
veloped country In which the farmers have
been obliged to haul their products from
twenty to forty miles to n railroad , and , of
late years , slnco the products have become
large , the absolute necessity of n railroad Is
manifest. Hitherto the I ) . & M. has bad
this rich territory hedged In on the cast and
south by Its branch lines , so It has secured
all the traffic. By grading n line through the
northeastern part of Custer county , which It
has never completed. It has kept other com
panies from looking this way. Now " there Is
much rejoicing In these parts at "tho pros
pect of securing a different and more direct
outlet to the east.
The surveying for the construction of the
ditch of the Middle Loup Irrigation com
pany Is progressing rapidly nnd probably
the preliminaries for construction of the
ditch will bo arranged In time to commence
grading early In the spring.

M'COOL JUNCTION , Nob. , Feb. 20.
( Spoclnl to The Beo. ) The business men of
McCool Junction appreciate The Bee's assist
ance In their efforts to get the same grain
rates east by the Kansas City & Omaha rail
road that the town of Fairmont ( eight miles
south ) has. A farmer living south of hero ,
who got more for his grain , asked the "Fair
mont grain buyer Uie reason. Ills reply
was , "They had a better rate. " Last
week's Fairmont Signal said that the reason
for the largo amount of grain marketed
there lately must bo due to cut rates , as
reported. The elevator on the Kansas City
& Omaha railroad at Fairmont for several
years shipped scarcely any grain. The B.
& M , elevator at that place , owing to Its
convenient location In the town , bought and
shipped nearly all the grain. The manage
ment of the Kansas City & Omaha railroad
learned of this and It Is believed that they
ma'lu a cut of 5 cents per hundredweight. Mc-
CoolJunctlon has been , and locally Is known to
be , ono of the best and largest grain ship
ping stations on the Kansas City & Omaha ,
but owing to the cut rate at Fairmont n
largo number of farmers who heretofore
sold grain hero marketed some this winter
at Fairmont. _ _ _

QUESTION OF MALICE.
Arguments Made Yesterday In the Ilenuott-
ItoKtnvati'iT.llinl CUT.
Judge Ilerka listened to arguments In po
lice court yesterday afternoon as to whether
or not hearsay testimony was admissible in
showing the good faith and absence of malice
on the part of the defendant In the Donnett-
Rosewater libel case. The entire afternoon
was thus taken up , the question being ex
haustively argued , and numerous authorities
were cited , especially by the defense. bearIng -
Ing upon the point In controversy. The de
fense raised the further point that the article
In question was a privileged communication ,
and called the attention of the court to the
fact that It was addressed to the electors of
Douglas county. It was argued that the arti
cle was fair , reasonable , without malice , and
was printed with the best of motives and for
Justifiable ends. It referred to Bennett
solely In his official capacity , and did not at
tack his private life. Much of the article
was In the way of ordinary newspaper criti
cism , and there were but three things In It
that would bo at all llbclous under any cir
cumstances. The attack was not directed
against Bennett personally , so for as the
charges of Immorality In the Jail were con
cerned , but against his subordinates , for
whom ho was responsible. The trouble
with Bennett was that he had kept too
many of hlo relatives around him and they
had given him the worst of It. The exist
ing state of affairs had been brought to the
attention of the voters of the county , who
were directly Interested In the case , nnd
the communication hod been one of privilege.
As to what constituted privileged com
munications , the courts were Till In harmony.
The rulings of the court had thrown ifpon
the defense the burden of proof , nnd It wns
for it to show good motives , JustV'ablo '
ends and the absence of malice. How was
the conclusion of good faith to bo arrived
at ? By evidence to show diligence In In
vestigating the reports that were received ,
and It was , therefore , competent to show
whether or not the efforts of the defendant
had been commensurate with an honest en
deavor to ascertain and verify the facts.
The defense had already shown the truth
of the statements published beyond any
reasonable doubt , and to disprove the pre
sumption of malice In the publication It was
sought to Introduce the testimony of a wit
ness who had been present and heard what
was said when the defendant was Investigat
ing as to the truth of n report that had been
brought to him , and which had already been
testified to by the defendant himself.
The verdict of the people In this case
had already been received , and they
had voiced the belief that the man was cor
rupt. Incompetent nnd surrounded by n
horde of Individuals who had fallen very low
In the moral scale. The people had deemed
sufficient even less evidence than had been
required by the defendant , nnd they would
sustain the man who had fearlessly spoken
of things ns they existed and called things
by their right names. If general rumors
had boon such as to discredit the honor ,
Integrity and virtue of the complaining wit
nesses , then the defendant had reason to
bellovo those statements , and It was com
petent to show what those general rumors
were , not for the purpose of proving or
tending to prove the truth of the rumors ,
but to rebut the presumption of malice on
the part of the defendant. Mallco-was the
gist of all crimes , and It should not bo pre
sumed In this case , as It was a privileged
communication , and malice was for the state
to prove.
The prosecution contended that the com
munication was not privileged , and Insisted
that no hearsay testimony bo admitted , even
for the purpose and solo Intent of disprov
ing inallco on the part of the defendant.
The matter was taken under advisement
by the court until Wednesday afternoon at
2 o'clock , when the hearing of the case
will be resumed.

. Cnnnlno Felice was fchot and probably
fatally Injured yesterday afternoon at 5:30 :
o'clock by Pcplnlo Qlgllottl.
Dotli the parties reside , In an old tumble
down bouse , 2036 I'opploton avenue.
Four or five men had been playing cards
there all day and there were frequent dis
putes as to who won. They wore not playIng -
Ing for anything but beer. Late In the after
noon Felice and Olgllottl took part In n
game and were on opposite sides. Several
times Felice claimed that he was being
cheated nnd that some of those playing
against him , and ho pointed to Glgllottl ,
were taking the cards and hiding them.
After several guinea had been played and
Follco lost the most of them ho became very
nngry , and when ho lost another game ho
got up and accused Olgllottl of cheating him
and then struck him In the faco. Qlgllottl at
once drew a revolver and shot Felice three
times , once through the right lUng , once In
the loft side of the breast and near the left
luilg , and one ball entered under the left arm
anil came out through thu shoulder. This
was the only ball recovered. The ono that
entered the right lung It IH thought cannot
bo recovered. Ir , Suvlllc attended the man
and said that while ho might live , the
chances are greatly against It , and the fact
that ho Is bleeding Inwardly Is much against
him.
GiaUOTTI GETS AWAY.
Fellco Is a laborer and a single man. The
Italians at the house where he lived say
ho was a good fellow and that they liked
him. A follow called Potrlo was present
at the shooting. Ho said In rather poor
English that he heard the men quarreling
often during the day and had seen Fellco
get up from his chair anil strike Glgllottl
Ho then said that Glgllottl loft the room
for a moment , but returned , and standing
In the doorway he shot Fellco three tlmea ,
but that In all ho shot five times and Hhowed
where two of the bullotB entered the wall
right back of where Fellco was sitting.
After he had shot all the cartridges In the
revolver he left the room and ran as fast
as ho could up I'oppleton avenue. He
turned several times to see It he was being
pursued and as he saw the mob that was
hot on his trail he stood still and threatened
to shoot them If they dared to molest him.
Ho got away and Felice , bleeding from three
wounds , ran ns rapidly as ho could from
the house and called for the police. Ho
was almost ready to fall when Olllcor Flsk
caught him and took him Into Wllko Sauter's
drug store , corner of Twentieth and Pierce
streets. The patrol wagon was then called
nnd OHlcer Dlbbern dressed the wounds.
DESCRIBED BY WITNESSES.
He said he did not btrlko Glgllottl. and
that the only thing ho did was to tell him
ho was cheating him. Ho then told how he
had been shot.
A visit was made , tp the locality where
the shooting occurred. There are six fam
ilies living In the sahie 'house , and nearly
all of them are unable to speak English.
Mrs. Glgllottl , the wife of the probable
murderer , was seen. Shq could not relate
anything of Importance beyond saying uhe
was upstairs , and that when she heard the
shooting she ran out thoidoor In time to see
her husband running , , up , , the street. She
attempted to follow , Uutjio motioned her to
stay back. Phillip 'Konstans , uncle of
Glgllottl , said ho lielird the shooting and
went to the basomonti .where the men wore
playing , to separate them. . Ho was too late ,
and Felice was alrea'dy shot and Glgllottl
had-got away. '
Glgllottl has a sister living at Nineteenth
and the Union Pacific railroad track. The
shanty she lives In ls.a _ peculiar ono. It
has a couple of doors an' each sldo , and It
was said that Glglldtt ! ' was hidden hero.
The place was thoroughly , searched , but the
only Information that could be obtained was
that Glgllottl had been there many times ,
but was not there ( hen. They * were In
dulging In a high carnival , drinking vine
and smoking bad tobacco. AH the shanties
were searched , but no trace of the missing
man could bo found.
NEAULY KILLED A BADE.
Tony Payne , who lives In the same house
with Glgllottl and In whoso room the shootIng -
Ing occurred , had just got homo when the
house was being searched. His sister lives
there too , and when ho came In she told
him of the occurrence and also showed htm
the place on the bed wliero the baby was
asleep when the trouble began. If ono of the
bullets had gone half an Inch lower down
It would have struck the baby and this
caused Payne to swear eternal vengeance
against Glgllottt. He knelt down and tak
ing off his hat he swore to Almighty God
that ho would capture the murderer today
or did * himself. Ho took a long , sharp knife
and started out In the darkness to bring to
justice the man who came so nearly robbing
him of his child. The jabbering of his com
panions was so general that it seemed as
If a dozen demons had broken loose. There
was a crowd of Italians In the house and
they all swore to capture Glgllottl.
Glgllottt Is a brother of the man who Is
suspected of killing old man Doccaclo at his
stand , Fifteenth and Davenport streets , last
August.

Major ClmrloK 1' . Humphrey HoromcHOimr-
tnriiuiHtcr ( Irnornl of TlilN Department.
The promotion of Major Charles F. Hum
phrey to the position of chief quartermaster
of the Department of the Pintle , made va
cant by the retirement of General Dandy ,
nicots with the warmest approval of his
many frlonds In this city. Ho has been con
nected with the quartermaster's department
slnco 1S7D , and has a vast deal of expert ,
once In the handling of materials and supplies
having been associated with the building ami
enlargement of some of the finest posts In
the army. Ho came to Omaha to suporln.
tend the construction of the now post at
Fort Crook , having been specially detailed
for that work , and the amount and charac
ter of the work already 'dono ' there speaks
for him all that Is necesfary as to his fitness -
ness for the position.
Major Humphrey Ih a' Now Yorker by
birth , and wont Into I the''army ' during the
war as u private. Houpnsscd through the
various noncommissioned positions and was
furloughed during tho-campaign of 1SC4 for
"soldierly conduct" . and recommended
through the proper channels for examina
tion for commlHslon In theartillery. . Ho was
made n second llutendnt in 1SCO , first llou-
tenant In 1868 , captain aiul assistant quar
termaster In 1879 , anil-major and quarter
master In 1892. In conduction with Major
Humphrey's promotion to' ' a commission It
may bo stated that there were at that time
so many applications 'jtor.ipommlssloiiH ' that
the War department appointed In the order
of merit , and that Major Humphrey re
ceived the second order , Joappear for exam
ination.
Major Humphrey was very strongly en
dorsed for promotion by Major General J. M.
Bchoflold , Major General Nelson A. Miles ,
Major General John Pope ( retired ) , Brigadier
General S. B. Holablrd ( retired ) , Brigadier
General J , II. Brooke , Adjutant General J.

commanding the Department of the Atlantic ,
Who will bo eligible to retirement on account
Of ago on November 8 next , la expected to
The above picture Is an exact reproduc
tion of a valuable oil painting which wo
were permitted to copy from n collection
In a gentl mun'B private gallery. It tolls
a weird and powotful htory. The vessel
Is going upon the rocks ! The wind and the
waves are so deafening that the sound of
the bell on the buoy cannot be heard ! In
her agony the mermaid seizes the standard
from which the bell Is suspended and seeks
to ring the alarm to those In deadly peril.
There arc millions of people In America
today that are drifting toward the rocks
of destruction nnd do not know It ! They
have strange , unaccountable feelings nnd
pain In various parts of the body. They
arc often restless , feverish , and far too
often afflicted with heuda'ches , Indigestion
and general despondency. They know
that something Is wrong , but think , per
haps , It Is only temporary and will soon
pass away. They do not realize that these
feelings arc the first symptoms of Brlght's
relinquish his command and take a leave of
absence on June 1.
General Nelson A. Miles , Chicago , com
manding the Department of the Missouri , Is
expected to take General Howard's present
command when the latter leaves It in Juno.
It is said that General Miles will be General
Schoflold's successor upon retirement next
year , and that General John U. Brooke Is to
bo detailed to the Chicago command when
General Miles goes to New York next sum
mer. Lieutenant Hammond , now at Fort
Meade , will likely be detailed to teach mili
tary tactics at thoDoano _ college of Crete.
Lieutenant Hammond Is a Congrcgatlonallst
by faith , and meets all of the other require
ments of the college.
It looks as though the troubles of Major
J. W. Wham , paymaster , would never end.
His last trouble is In securing bonds. He
has been detailed for station on the Pacific
coast , but is now on a leave of absence
trying to got somebody to make good his
bond , without which ho cannot resume liln
duties. Since ho has been declared to bo of
sound mind and body and not entitled to
retirement , ho must stay on the active list ,
yet ho cannot qualify for the position which
ho holds on the Army Register. It Is a re
markable condition and Is puzzling the au
thorities at the War department. They
would like to retire him and relieve him of
his embarrassments , but there seems to bo
no ground for his retirement. Slnco his un
fortunate robbery of some years ago no ono
wants to become his security.
After conferring on the subject , Secre
taries Lament and Herbert have decided
there shall bo no contests at foot ball be
tween the cadets at' Annapolis and West
Point. This action Is taken because of
a conviction that the intcracademlo matches
are a detriment to discipline and to the
studies of the cadots.
The retirement from active service on
February 22 , by operation of law , of Major
John Brooke , surgeon , Is announced.
Second Lieutenant Edward II. Chrlsman ,
Second Infantry , is detailed as professor of
military science and tactics at the University
of Idaho , Moscow , Idaho.
The extension of leave granted First Lieu
tenant Thomas II. Wilson , Second Infantry ,
Is further extended ten days.
First Lieutenant Ashton B. Hoyl , as
sistant surgeon , will bo relieved from duty
at Fort Nlobrara , Neb. , on the arrival there
of First Lieutenant Thomas S. Bratton , as
sistant surgeon , and will report to the com
manding ofllcer , Columbus Barracks , O. , for
duty at that depot.
Leave for ono year , to take effect April
1 , Is granted First Lieutenant James L.
Drulcn , Seventeenth Infantry.
Major Almon L. Varney , ordnance do-
partmont. will proceed from Indianapolis to
the works of the Morgan Engineering com
pany , Alliance , O. , on ofllclal business per
taining to the Inspection of the ten-Inch
Gordon disappearing gun carriage , and upon
the completion thereof will return to his
station.
First Lieutenant Sidney E. Stuart , ord
nance department , will proceed from 'Wil
mington , Del. , to the Sandy Hook proving
ground , Sandy Hook , N. J , , on official busi
ness pertaining to the Inspection of gun
powder.

contention raging between Colonel Graham
and Lieutenant Colonel Young , In accord
ance with General Rugor's order , Colonel
Young , who has been a prisoner at his quar

Rugor's action Is practically a decision that
Young's arrest by Graham was without war
rant. A sensational court martial Is qulto
likely to bo the outcome.
