HISTOHY OF T1IH CLAIM.
Ilx-Mnjor IJcu'U , who In a rclntl\o of Mt
Train and w 4 Intimately associated will
him during the entire time co\crcd by tb
transactions about to bo brought Into qucs
tlon stated to a loprescntatlve of The Do
that tlio purchase prlco of this land wa ,
about $100,000. At tha time of the purchas
Mf. Train paid J'JS.OOO In cash and ga\c
mortgage as security for the balance.
Ilio next move In connection with this lani
so far as the present situation Is concernoO
wai In 1873 , when tlm land was sold undo
foreclosure proceedings. In the meantlm
the thrilling events with which Mr. Train1
busy llfo won filled had followed ono anothe
In rapid succession , and at the time of tli
foreclosure ho liad been legally declared
lunatic and released from confinement In tli
Tombs prison In New York City , after belli
confined ( hero live months.
This was during the famous , Ueechcr-Tllto
trial. Victoria Woodhull and Teniilo C. Clal
lln were publishing a paper called " \Vooi !

prisoned In the Ludlow street Jail for deb
Train undertook the task of securing thel
release and turned the batteries of the Trixl
League upon the autiior/tlcs. / Thq Leagv
woe a newspaper published by Train , and 1
defending the women he printed copious 11
oral extracts from the scriptures" , applyln
them to the Ileccher Tllton caoe.
S1JNT TO THU ASYLUM.
Anthony J. Comstock hart -Train arrestc
and Imnilswed lu the Ludlow street Ja
for publishing an obscene and Indeed
paper , but -when the authorities learned tin
Train's alleged obscenity and Indecency coi
lstcd In pilntlng extracts from the scrli
txirca , thoj concluded th v had captured
white elephant and tno charge was ni
pushed. Train refused to leave the ja
until he had been tried on the charge wlilc
Comstock had picferred. A trial was final
nccured and n verdict reached by the Jur
Ileforo the verdict was read , hone\r , M
Detain says that the trial judge , Davis , teethe
the case away from the jury and entered
finding to the effect that Train wan a lunat
and committed him to the Utlca asylum.
Habeas coi pus proceedings \\eio at oni
brought before another Judge and Train wi
ordered released , but Mr. Bcmls saja tl
record showing that Train had been legall
declared Irccno was never changed Tral
left the country the next day , going I
Europe. _ ,
Tlio point jipon which It Is understood the
the claim to title will rest In attacking tl
foreclosure proceedings bv which the land I
thin city wn sold lu tliat these proceeding
wore had and the land sold without
guardian ever having been appointed. :
will b alleged that the courts of New Yor
found Train Insane and that he wan IK
competent , therefore , to legally defend hi
Inteic5.ta at law and that a guardian nhou !
have been appointed to defend In the fen
closure proceedings. If this point H we
taken. It Is eald to be ; a serious , questlo
whether the cntlio praceedlngo surioundln
tliu foreclosure and sale may not be held 1
legal and void and the title of the hundred
of owners of Hits property swept away.

galrst Ihe company , and pledging the Com-
nerclal club to sland by Us representatives
nd to pay all costs of their defense. Mr.
'oppleton was asked for his opinion , anil
aid that he thought It unwise to bind the
hit ) In the mailer , though Individually the
ncmbcis should support Messrs. Baum and
"arrcll. At the suggestion of Mr. Baum , the
portion alluding to financial support In the
xpcnscs of the trial was stricken out. There
was further debate , and the whole mattci
\na referred to a committee consisting ol
Miesrs. Popplcton , Stcol and Dumont , whc

Mcsdames Ford and Sudborough appeared

The need of fast mall service between lln
two oceans , without delajs of from thrci
to eight hours In Chicago , was again brough
up before the club and endorsed. The com
mltteo having the matter In charge rcportei
lirogreas. Commissioner Ult read the fol
lowing letter , a copy of that sent to th
postal authorltlea at Washington in rcferenc
to the matter :
It Is for the best Interests of this scctloi
to liuve fnsl mull service between the At
lantlci and Pacific oceans. Suchcrvic
must be through Omahu , because now am
hereafter this will be the sho'rtest' ' con

In order to secure fast mail scrlce , It tr.ua
bo contlnuou * * , that Is. without serious de

It Is unreasonable to run special fast mal
trains at n high late of speed , then lose in

The loss of time In this progressive uge 1

Our commerce depends on our malls ; busl

there Is a detention of twenty-four hours
as the letlcrs reach the business Places to

fects the commercial Interests o both eas
and west.
The mall train leaving- New York at 9 !
a. m. containing mall for Omaha is delaye
in Chicago eight hours and forty minute ?
the train leaving New lork at 9 ( p. m. I
delayed In Chicago two hours nnd thirl

C. C. Chase wanted the executive commit

It resolved that all questions pertaining I
Cuba were beyond Hie legitimate field of

The action of tlio Board of Education Mor

as the next regular meeting does not occi

The Transmlssteslppl KxpoIU ° n Is the
magnet that la drawing hundreds of unem
ployed to this city from almost every section
of the country. U ln etlmated by the po
ke authorities that la. the past two months
ho Hinemployed laboring clement of the city
ias been Increased , by at least 1,000 men.
t is said that fully as many more have come
and gone away again .ne soon as they dis
covered that they could nol secure work.
Rv Idcnces of the presence of these strong-
irs are seen , not only upon the streets , but
n the police station. The number of "va
grants" placed under arrest is Increasing
lally. Further proof Is given by the rail-
oad men , who eiy that almost every freight
rain that comes In carries a considerable
lumber of this class.
As most of the strangers arc without
ncans they have been compelled to seek
any shelter that Is thrown In their way.
Itindredn of them sleep every night In the
box cars that arc standing \acint In the
allroad > ards. The cars standing on the
Jnloii Pacific tracks from Twentieth street to
Sheelcy station have been particularly well-
latronlzcd. Tlio number of men has become
SD great during the past few da > s In this
Iclnlly ihal a number of complaints have
icen received by the police department by
people living about Twentieth and Pierce
trccts. In response lo lhe o complaints
Ililcf of Police Slgwarl Monday Instiuctcd
a squad of olilcerB to search the cars In that
Iclnlty. In the space at tour blocks ,
vvcnty-four men were found asleep In Iho
mply carp. They were brought to the police
station , where they were booked wllh
vagrancy.
The entire outfit had In Its possession but
> 3 60. Some of the men came from New
York , others from California and from points
south and north. They had the ippcaraiicc
of honest worklngman and represented a
great number of trades. The following oc
cupations were given by them : Miner , ma
chinist , Ironworker , teamsler , bicycle maker ,
thee maker , painter , railroad man , book-
ceepcr , plumber , moulder , printer , lineman ,
lostlcr , carpcnlcr. Nol more than half a
loen gav-o their occupation as common la
borer. When the batch was arraigned In
police court yesterday tha majority staled
, hat they had come lo Ihls clly In Ihe hope
of securing employment. Judge Gordon dis
charged them , all , as there was no work for
.hem.
The police are- somewhat worried at this in
flux of worklngmen , as It Is a common prac-
Ice for good crooks to travel in the guise ol
his class to avoid suspicion. It Is believed

John Harrison , who gives his nationality
as Spaniard , Mexican or African , as circum
stances demand , was safely stowed away In
the county Jail for thirty dajs Monday
afternoon , He wan coinlctcd In police court
of sleillng $28 from Miss Nelllo Swartzcl , D12
South Sixteenth street , The conviction oc
curred after Harrison had been acquitted In
the morning on the charge of robbing Maud
Terrace of } GO ,
Last Wednesday night Harrison went to
the house of which tie | Terrace woman Is on
Inmate. He spent considerable money In
bujlng liquor , and finally sent the woman
out to imrchise a bottle of wine. "When she
returned she found that Harrison had \an-
Ishcd and with him had gone ? GO of her
moncj. The woman promptly reported the
lobbcry to the police and Thursday morning
three dctccthcs were assigned upon the case.
They worked Thursday and Friday , but with
out result. Subsequent developments ha\a
ctiovMi that during these two da > s Harrison
was not only a frequent \lsltor to saloons
and disorderly houses , but committed two
similar robberies. One netted him $27 nnd
the other about $15.
It wag Just after one cf the two latter rob
beries that Harrison wan captured. He had
been In a house on Is'lnth street and was
running away with the stolen money. In
his night he was speeding along Capitol
avenue In the gutter. Just as ho passed
the house of which MauJ Teiroce Is an inmate -
mate she stepped out of the door for the
purpose of getting some luncheon. She spied
the fugitive and at once recognized him as
the man who had robbed her.
"Hello , pard , " she cried. "Where are
you going ? "
The man stopped and the woman approached
preached him. She simulated Intoxication ,
tluew ono arm around his neck and with the
other grabbed his coat. She Insisted that
ho must buy her a drink. The man expostu
lated and then tried to pull away , but the
woman held tight. In this way they pro
ceeded down the street , when the couple met
a policeman. Then the woman throw off
her cloak of drunkenness and , addressing
the policeman , said :
"Onicer , this Is the man who robbed me. "
Harrison was dumbfounded , but despite his
protestations , ho was placed under arreot.
While he was at the police elation he was
Identified by Mrs. Swartzel as the man who
had been at her place and whom she sus
pected of robbing her of $28. Of the latter
crime Harrison was convicted , but Judge
Gordon did not consider the evidence In the
Terraca case sulllclently strong to bind the
man o\cr to the district court on the charge
of grand larceny.
Harrison la said to lia\c been hero a year
ago. He Is said to ha\o knocked one woman
down and then robbed her of $100. He also
committed a number of minor thefts of a
similar character.

The landsman , tourist or commercial tra\-

of Hosteller's Stomach Bitters , his pangs
arc promptly mitigated , and then cease ere

There Is ono blcjclo brute still at large.
Ho is a dangerous specimen and If his Iden
tity were Known ho would find It dangerous
to remain In the town. About D 30 yester
day evening Helen Woodward , a 10-year-old
girl , was riding a bicycle on Wirt street be
tween Twentieth and Twenty-first when this
fellow came up behind her at a speed ex
ceeding ten miles an hour. He was pre
sumably looking round lo see If Officer Bald
win was behind him , for the streel Is fifty
feet wide and ho could not find a space wide
enough for his blcjcle without running Into
the litlle girl's. The collision was serious.
The child fell on her head and was badly
bruised and lay for some moments in a dazed
condition. When she recovered sulilclcntly
lo get on to her feet the brute was out of
sight and unfortunalcly no one had seen
him who could give any clew by which he
could bo idcnllficd. The damage lo the
child's bicycle conalsled In Ihe breaking of
Iho axle of ono pedal. The girl's Injuries
are not at all serious.
