She was placed fpr the n'ght ' In custody of the sergeant-at-arms , Edgar M , Tomllnson , formfrly chief In specter of the 'excise department , was called to the stand. He was shown the excise rec ord and asked to read the record for the Mnlsoti Tortonl at Lexington avenue and Thirty-first sticet. The application was re jected In October , 1877. "Was there another application made ? " "Yes , sir ; by A. L. Lewis. " The witness Identified an application made by Joseph Lambert for the samei purpose. It was rejected. A bill of sale from Mme.

Alfred Char- pentlcr , envoy extraordinary and minister .plenipotentiary from Franco to the five Cen tral American republics , Is hero from Guate mala on a leave of absence. He Is cnroutc for Europe. Mr. Charpentler does not think there will be any trouble between Guatemala and Mexico. Ho says : "The people of Guatemala have not given the matter any thought whatever. Mexico seems more concerned over the prospect of war than Guatemala. There Is certainly no truth In the report that the government of Guatemala has sent troops tp the Mexican frontier. That would be folly. Guatemala Is not In a position to engage In war with Mexico. " General Clenfugos , General Antonio Ezeta's young lieutenant , who was released from jail a few days ngo , will not go back to Acapulco to Join his wife. He received a telegram from Ezeta summoning him to the City of Mexico , and he started thither at once. It Is deemed probable that Ezeta desires his assistance. Through Clenfugos , Ezeta purchased from Captain E. N. Jen nings , the broad sword fighter nnd trainer , a handsome. 6-year-old chestnut sorrel horse known as Dictator , Jr. This horse attracted much attention In the society circus here some time ago. The horse Is to be pre sented by General Ezeta to his friend , Prest dent Diaz ot Mexico. The price paid for the horse was $2,300. , CITY OF MEXICO , Nov. 1. Information has been received here that the government of Guatemala , following the usual course , has consulted a foreign diplomat In the city of Guatemala as to the Mexican dlfllculty The diplomatist held that Guatemala's posi tion was untenable , hence that county has withdrawn Its troops precipitately from the disputed frontier territory at Agua.

Passenger rain No. 3 of the Kansas City , Memphis & Birmingham railroad was held up at 1 o'clock his morning a few miles cost ot New Albany. Miss. , by three robbers and the express car ooted of Its contents. Conductor W. B. Leonard , who was In chnrgc of the train , got into Birmingham at fi o'clock this morning , and from him the acts were learned , Ha Enid : "My train pulled out of New Albany about 1 o'clock this morning. Shortly after getting urdcr nil headway the train , began to slack up and was soon nt a. standstill. As I after wards discovered , three masked men had Iioarded the tender of the engine at New \lbany , and , covering engineer Campbell and Fireman Alexander with pistols , compelled them to stop al a designated point In the woods a few miles cast of New Albany. When the trnln stopped I was In the bag gage car. 1 went to the side door and opened It only to be greeted with several pistol shots from one of the robbers. I shoved the door shut , but turning around I saw two of the robbers already In the baggage car with pistols covcilng me. The engineer and fire mar wore made to dismount and nn unsuccessful attempt was made to uncouple the engine. Express Messenger Jeannetto's car was forced open , the rob bers covering mo with pistols all the time , and we were forced to give up the jontents of the safe. Putting the beery In a bag , the robbers backed off Into the woods wild their pistols still pointed at us and disap peared In the darkness. "We did not see their facca at any time. " Officers of the Southern Express company give It out that only a lot of cheap Jewelry and vouchers constituted the robbers' booty. It is suspected , however , that the express company Is lying low on this subject tor their own reasons. The general belief Is that the robbers were amateurs , although they did things up In shape. There Is not the slightest clew to their Identity. MEMPHIS , Nov. 1. A dispatch to the lornmerclal-Appeal from New Albany says : The men who held up the train on the Mem phis route last night are believed to bo ex perienced railroad men , as they showed n thorough knowledge of the movement ot the train and knew all about railroad signals.

Hodges , secretary of the educa tional department of the Young Men's Chris tian association of North America , Is at the Omaha association rooms this week with an exhibit of the work of the classes in some of the eastern cities. The department vtlthln the past two or thrco years has gradually been developing a course ot evening Instruc tion that Includes within Its scope some thing more than the studies In the ordinary English branches. It Is the aim of the as sociation to extend the work so as to in clude Instruction in sociological , Industrial and scientific brandies. Starting with this Idea In view , a few years ago the department organized classes In several associations In free hand , me chanical and architectural drawing and In dustrial designing , leading toward such tech nical lines as machine construction , holler making , carriage draughting , wood and metal working , civil , mechanical , architectural and electrical engineering , etc. Classes in ttiuse branches have been established In Spring- Held and Dayton , O , ; Brooklyn , N. Y. ; Hart ford , Conn.New ; York City and Chicago. The work Is all done In evening classes , the agea of the pupils averaging 23 years , A largo percentage of the sclen- tlflo classes Is made up of clerks , showing that the natural tendency of the young men of the country Is to seek an entrance Into the more practical as. well as more profit able vocations of life. Mr. Hodges Is seeking to Interest the Omaha association In the work , and It la probable that classes In some of the branches of the scientific course will be formed at once. The work of the classes In other associations Is shown In detail. Those -who may believe that such form of Instruction must necessa rily be ot a superficial character should go to the Young Men's Christian association rooms and be convinced to the contrary , The asso ciations In other cities employ able instruct ors , generally selecting them from the ) fac tories near at hand. Thus the Instructor In machine construction will be the foreman of en establishment where machinery Is con structed. Practical architects glvo Instruc tion In architectural drawing , and so on through the entire course.

Mary McKenna was an old lady who died In this city some two years ago , leaving all , her property , something Ilka $16,000 In value , to the Benson orphanage and St. Joseph's | [ hospital. Soon after the will was filed tor probate , Attorney Baldwin appeared before the probate court , which nt that time was presided over by J. W.

It pro vided for the appointment by the chairman of a subcommittee to draft nn amendment which would make the appointment by the governor of the members ot the Hoard of Fire and Police Commissioners subject to the con firmation of the council Mr. Tukey announced that he was opposed to the resolution from the start. ThU power had been taken from the city council for n purpose , and that was to keep the board out of politics. The amendment contemplated by th s resolution would operate to again make the board a political organization. It was a strange Idea , tn his opinion , that the gov ernor of the state should have to consult the city council of Omaha in making his ap pointments. Ho believed that to prets this matter woulO be a grave mistake and might endanger the success of the entire work of the committee. Howcll nnd Connell favored the resolution , and Wlnspear sided with Tukey. Colonel Chase asked that the rnsoi.itIon be laid over until the next meeting. Mr. Dumont moved that It be laid on the table , but action was finally postponed by unanimous consent. CANDIDATES FALL IN LINE. Last evening was the time appointed for eglslatlvc candidates to meet with the com mittee and declare themselves as to the position which they would take , It elected , on the proposed amendments. The- press of political engagements pre vented a general attendance ot the candi dates , The only ones who put In an appear ance were Dr. M. 0. Rlcketts , Sam Nedrey , John W. Johnson , TheodoreUernlne and Michael Nelson. Each of these declared that he regarded the committee ns a repre sentative body and that he was willing to ! > ledge > himself to help carry out whatever measures should be decided on. Letters of apology were received from Thomas D. Crane , R. It. Jenness , James Mian. W. A. Page and Jos > eph Crow , which contained similar assurances of support. The regular business was not taken up , the remainder of the evening being devoted to a general discussion ot ( lie work already accom plished , for the Information of the visitors. Major Wheeler gave a detailed explanation of the plan of assessment proposed by the committee , and explained at length the abuses which it was designed to abolish. The question ot the best method by which o secure legislation which would enable the city to cpmpel the railroads to pay their egltlmato proportion of the cost of fire and police protection and other advantages with which the city was compelled to provide them was discussed. It was the unanimous sentiment of the committee that some action n this direction would be advisable , and the matter was referred to Mr. Council's commit tee to report at a future meeting.

However , it might prove inter esting to you. There are more buyers this year in search of bargains than ever known from the da's of the Pilgrims down. The Nebraska approves of this. Buy cheaply but be sure it is cheap. To know where to buy is an important item. Scan all newspapers , clip all miraculous incidents of purchasers or other wonderful tales of daring advantages required to secure a dozen or so overcoats , and of some hairbreadth escapes some experienced while making a daring plunge of an offer for a whole manufacturer some 17 overcoats in all. Go by all means and investigate examine prices and quality a most eloquent salesman will , no doubt , help you to get the best of the bargain. When you are through , give us your time for a minute ; come in to the ever humble Nebraska. We hav'nt any moquette carpets , plate mirrors , neither eloquent and persuading salesmen , but honest overcoats to be sold honestly , and loads of "em to select from. We don't handle any so- called half price goods , but we can furnish vou an overcoat for TWO SEVENTY-FIVE of good chinchilla , Italian lined , warm and durable , that'll cost you $5,00 anywhere. A long , deep collar Melton Ulster , wool lined in two shades at FOUR DOLLARS for which other stores charge at least $7.00. Here are other coats and ulsters finer , finer still and the finest to be had. Can't possibly dream of a style or sort you can't get here at a good healthy saving on each one. From $2.00 up to $10,00 is what you save hee. If we mis represent this , come and get your money back you're welcome , ButterTub5 PdckAoe5 > , SS : ' Trx rt wt CJrapUn Sn > tK j &tr H\wrPtawaW BUHER AJSB CHEESE MAWNG ; : . F COOKERS us pftpT.j.
