LINCOLN , Jan. 20.-Speclal. ( ) All ot the
Judges and commissioners were on the
bench this forenoon when the Eugene Moore
case came up for hearing In the supreme
court. Only a few npoctntora were In the
court room at the beginning , but as the
Inuring progressed the room filled with
attorneys and others who wcro Interested
In hearing the arguments. Treasurer Me-
ficrve , Secretary ot State Porter and a num
ber of dcputlw from the various offices were
there , bvit It was noticed that no ono from
Auditor Cornell's offlco was present. Eugene
Jlooro occupied a scat among the spectators ,
Judge Itnrnrs of Norfolk opened the argu
ment for Moore In a speech ot half on
hour's length. Ho first entered a protest
against the language used by the attorney
general In his brief , In which Moore had
been branded as a "Bclf-confcsscd criminal. "
Jildgo Barnes said that Moore had entered
the plea of guilty of taking the money for
the purposes of the suit and on a stipulation ,
which avoided a long-drawn-out and ex
pensive trial In district court , and which
brought the main contention of the defense
to an Immediate Issue. The language of
the attorney general was unfair and calcu-
Hated to prejudice the court. Ho argued
that nowhere In the statute was the auditor
referred to as a collector of money , except
In section 32 of ttui Insurance 'law ' , and that
that section \vns In force prior to the adop
tion of the constitution ot 1875 , which ex
pressly said that the money In payment for
certificates and other services should be
"paid In advance Into the stnto treasury. "
Ho held that the constitution repealed th.it
part of section 32 relating to thu payment
of fees to the auditor and that the plain
provision now was that the party wishing
the service to bo performed must first pay
the required fco Into the stnto treasury.
Ills conclusion then was that when Moore
received the money ho mailo himself the
agent of the Insurance companies to that
extent and that the money was not public
money until It was paid to the treasurer
authorized to receive It. Ho said that tin-
state auditor could not bo compelled by
mandamus to receive money In payment of
foe , as it was the clear duty of the appli
cant to tender the money * to the treasurer.
The contention of the attorney general that
the stnto by ratifying the act of Moore In
taking the money had made the act legal
wan not good. The state could not ratify
imy act that would make a man a criminal.
Cases from Ohio , Kansas and other states
were cited in support of the position taken
by Mooru's attorneys.
CONTENTION FOR THE STATE.
Attorney General Smyth opened by declar
ing that ho did not care whether or not the
court held that the money came Into Moore's
hands by virtue of his ofllco. The auditor
was charged by both the statute and mo con
stitution with the collection and disburse
ment of money. He then referred to Moore's
plea of guilty end said that by this confes
sion ho either was guilty of 'taking ' the
money of the state or the money or the In
surance companies. I
"Upon which section do you rely for your
complaint ? " asked Judge Norval.
The attorney general said that he was re
lying on the section whit'Ii would make the
ex-auditor guilty of embezzlement as an olll-
cer charged with the collection of public
inctiey. Ho conceded that If Moore did mot
lake public money he could not be held under
this comnlaint. He then referred to thu
constitution and said that when the olllcers
were charged with the duty of keeping ac
counts and making semi-annual reports to8
the governor it was the same as paying that
they 'Were authorized to receive money. In
regard to the t iyment of fees Into the state
treasury in advanceho called attention to
the fact that the constitution does not say
who shall ( Jay them In advance.
Deputy Smith followed the attorney gen
eral and dwelt at considerable length on
the theory of estoppel. He held that by ac
cepting the money from the companies and
issuing the certificates Moore made himself
the agent of the stnto and was now es-
stoppud from pleading the unconstltutlon-
nllty of the act. 'Mcoro ' had plainly violated
the constitution and could not tiow deny
its constitutionality. "Tho man who Is
agent enough to receive money Is agent
enough to be punished. "
II. C. Ilromo closed the argument for
Moore , paying attrition to the cases al
ready cited and enumerating some others in
support ot his position. He said that the
matter of estoppel had nothing to do with
this case , as the theory of estoppel has no
place In the criminal jurisprudence ot this
country.

\Vlllo\v County Youth.
LINCOLN' . Jan , 20. In the case of Edward
Lorcnz , the lied Willow county boy who was
convicted of murder , the supreme court has
reversed the finding of the trial court and
ordered a new trial. The youth was defended
by an alleged attorney who afterward proved
to be a pretty fair horse doctor , but not much
of a defender of human rights. The trial
was manifestly so unfair that Deputy Attor
ney General Smith , Instead of defending the
conviction , asked the supreme court to re-
veree the cuse for a new trial. The opinion
of the court wae handed down yesterday.
In the trial court the attorney of the ac
cused presented no evidence. He rested the
case without offering evidence and expressed
Bitrpriso because court adjourned for the day ,
thus preventing him from presenting hla ar
gument while the court room was full of pee
ple. The horse doctor reasoned with the
court and nsaured him that the crowd would
not be there for him to epoik to on the fol
lowing morning. The court gently tuggosted
that ho thought the Jury would bo there.

LINCOLN , Jan. 20. ( Spoclal.1 The Ne
braska Millers' association met nt the Llti-
dell hotel this afternoon , with about thirty
mill men In attendance. The meeting was
called to order by the president , N. U. Ken
dall of Lincoln , who delivered his annual
address , In which he spoke of the Impor
tance and rapid growth of the milling busi
ness In Nebraska and urged the millers to
stand together nnd form a strong associa
tion.
Secretary 0. C. Holmes of Omaha read his
report , as follows :
The Xebnaskn State Millers' association
has held two metlng-s during the year 1S'J < ,
one nt Hastings on July ! . " > nnd one nt
Om.a'hn on September 28. These meetings
were fairly well attended , nnd like nil giltn-
orlngs of this organization were full of In
terest nnd prollt to those who attended.
Matters of Interest to the fraternity were
tibly presented and Intelligently discussed.
Many nbuses common to the business have
us n result bosn corrected nml by thus
meeting together nnd exchanging Ideas nnd
experiences much good bus been accom
plished.
But while nil this Is true It Is neverthe
less a fact that this association has not
received the support of the millers of the
stnto whlt'A It would seem such nn or
ganization merits. In order , If possible , to
arouse nn nctlve Interest In our work
pamphlets containing the proceedings of the
mot-tings nnd reports of committees have
been printed nnd mailed to every miller In
Nebraska. Circular letters setting forth
the objects of the association and urgently
Inviting nil millers to Join have bean sent
on xevcrnl occasions , each letter being ac
companied by a copy of our constitution
nnd by-laws nml a blank form of applica
tion. The responses received have not , flow-
ever , been sulllclont to help pay for the
postois'o expended , to say nothing of the
cost of paper and printing. Whether a ma
jority ot our millers believe that the hand
ful of enterprising men who n3W comprise
the association will successfully carry out
ami accomplish the objects of the organiza
tion without their help , or whether they
flilnlf ( i mltlnranaannliiHnn tiniinonssarv. or
do not approve of the moth ads being pur
sued by fals one , Is not apparent.
It would scorn , however , that In this age
of the world when railroads and bootblacks ,
bankers and hodcnrrlers , manufacturers ,
Jobbers , retailers and barbers , lawyers , doc
tors and kitchen maids find It nn absolute
necessity to firm themselves Into pools ,
unions and associations for mutual benefit
and protection tlmt the flour millers of Ne
braska , whose product , next to that of our
great packing Mouses and smelters , Is the
largest ot any In the state , should find It
to their Interest to maintain an organiza
tion , and It Is earnestly to be hoped that
this meeting will be able to devise some
means by which this object may be success
fully accomplished.

A little more beet told the talc. Some
twenty-five advantageous pounds ot muscu
larity , sinew , fat and whatever else goes to
make up the human frame last night en
abled the tug-ot-war team of the Tourist
Wheel club , after yanking and hauling for
exactly twenty-five minutes and nine seconds
ends , -to pull the team of the Turner Wheel
club Just one foot along their slats In Tur
ner hall.
It was a great contest and It was for
blood. The conditions provo the last state
ment. It necessary the match was to last
thirty minutes and the team having the
most rope In Its possession nt the end of
that Unto was to bo declared the winner.
But It cither team succeeded In hauling the
other ono foot lusldo the thirty minutes the
contest was to end then and there. Consequently
quently the Tourists had a little less than
five minutes to spare at the time of their
victory.
Iho two teams settled down to business
frQin the start In n manner which showed
t.df.t both expected a long , hard pull. For
the first ten minutes both saved their wind.
Then the Turners began to yank gently nnd
the rope came their way until they iwere
some four Inches to the good. It remained
like this for another ten minutes. Then
Captain llartry of the Tourists began to
get In his work. " 1111 Yll Kl ! " yelled ho
as ho ran up and down alongside his men ,
nnd at every yell his Indians gathered In
a few links of the rope. Captain Kuhn
shouted In vain to his cohorts. Inch by
Inch the Tourists drew or yanked the rope
until finally they had a fool to the good ,
the pistol cracked and they nroso victors.
Then everybody In the hall seemed to be a
Tourist , Judging from the manner In which
the atmosphere wan cracked by yells.
Captain Kuhn is not satisfied with the
result. When the match , was over ho said :
"Wo were not beaten by a Tourist Wheel
club team. The team by which wo were
beaten was made up ot anybody picked up
about the city. Last night I knew that
it was not a Tourist team because of one
man , against whom 1 protested. Then I
was told that there was no Tourist Wheel
club nny more and therefore I protested
against the match. The contest was pulled
oft because wo did not want to disappoint
the crowd , but we do not consider that we
have been beaten by nny wheel club team.
Why , If wo are allowed to gather a team
from men outsldo our club team , wo can
beat this so-called Tourist Wheel club
tram. "
The victors weighed more than the van
quished by nearly twenty-five pounds. The
Turners' total weight was 1,537 ; that of the
Tourists was 1.5C3. The latter team , with
the individual weights , was ns follows : II.
E. Fredrlckson , anchor , 204 pounds ; Tom
Spencer , 1G3 pounds ; Ed Proulx , 1G5 pounds ;
Pcto Peterson , 1G7 pound , ? ; Lou Adams , 1G2
pounds ; Bud Baxter , ITS pounds ; Charles
Nuwhouau , 182 pounds ; Charles Hall , 1G5
pounds ; Lou Mather , 175 pounds.
The Turners' team was as follows : Henry
Ilohlf , anchor , 206 pounds ; Oscar Nast , 130
pounds ; Otto NclderwcUer , 100 pounds ;
Henry Ulx , 205 pounds ; Paul Wurl , ICO
pounds ; Phil Mueller , 165 pounds ; J. Krage ,
142 pounds ; Henry Wlndhelm , 107 pounds ;
Emil Ilohlf , 172 pounds.
I'ULL TO A DRAW.
There was another tug-of-war match on
the program , which was shorter , but hardly
less Interesting. This was to have been be-
teams of the Union Pacific Wheel club
and the U. & M. Wheel club , but thu former
found that they could not get up a team
and they presented substitutes in the ehape
of a lot of big , husky employes of the Union
Pacific freight depot. The B. & M. Wheel
club ( .cam sized up like a lot of kids be-
sldo the others , but apparently a tug-of-war
match Is not more the property of the beefy
than a race Is of the swift. Flvo minutes
of pulling was entirely Insufficient for the
depot men to pull the B. & M. lads out of
the slats , and the contest was declared a
draw. The depot men , however , have not
practiced , but they say that In the near
future they will bo ready to Issue a chal
lenge to any tug-of-war team on earth to
meet them.
The two teams were made up ns follows :
B. & II. E. S. Swan , anchor ; R. J. Hansen ,
T. G , Hansen , C. C. Carson , W. S. Austin
S. Valentine , C. Schwartz , Fred Cole , G.
Tromler. Union Pacific A. W. Walson , an

son , 'M. 0. Lcgge , J. Lynch , J. Haley , 1) .
Bradley , J. Clifton. Edward Black was cap
tain of the former nnd It. C. Rodlck of the
latter.
These two tugs-of-war were the features
of quite an athletic program. In addition
there was a good wrestling match between
Oscar Nast and Muentefering , best two
out of three falls. Nast proved to bo the
better of the pair , winning two successive
falls , the first in two minutes and' the other
In nine. Ho won both by a bait Nclaon.
There was also a mile homo trainer blcyclo
race between "Cyclone Pete" and Virgil
Hall , which the latter won In the phenome
nal time of fifty-one seconds , according to
the timekeepers. The cyclone did the mlle
ono second to the bad , again according to the
timekeepers. Otto Giscko and Dan Baldwin
gave some heavy-weight exhibitions , and
the latter also transformed himself Into a
human bridge , during which no supported
both the Tourist nnd Uio Turner tug-of-war
teams. These events wcro Interspersed with
music by the Olympla Banjo club nnd recl-
tatlona by Frank Gosney and Miss Elvlna
Howo. John IX Howe was master of cere
monies. There was a very good attendance.

Among the members ot n theatrical com
pany playing n week's engagement In Blng-
hampton , N. V. , relates the New York Sun ,
Is Mrs. Kntheryn M. Evans , who was one
of the members of the company at Ford'o
theater , Washington , when President Lin
coln was nMAsslnatcd. Mrs. Evan's hus
band was arrested on suspicion nflcr the
assassination , but was soon released. Mrs.
livnns paid :
"There were1 twenty members ot the com
pany , only four of whom are now living be
sides myself. They are Harry Hawk , who Is
still upon the stage , hut where 1 do not
know ; W. J. Ftrguson , nnw piny Ing with
Krohnian's Empire Theater stock company ;
XI. A. Kennedy and Jennlo Gonrley , who
has retired from the stage and lives In
Brooklyn , I was living In Washington upon
13 street tit ttic tluio with my husband and
Harry Hawk , who roomed nt our house ,
which was only a few doors from Ford's the
ater. My character the night of that awful
tragedy was Xlrs. Sharp , n housekeeper. I'pou
the tragic night of the assassination wo had
not seen Booth around the theater and none
of ns know or thought anything about Win
until during the third act. while Harry
Hawk was nloiio on the stage.
"Wo were all In our dressing rooms when
the pistol shot was heard. Wo rushed upon
the stage nnd saw Xlrs. Lincoln holding the
head ot her husband between her bauds and
heard her calling for help. We did not see
Booth Icco up-ii the stage , nor did wo see
him afterward.
"Harry Hawk looked up toward the box
which contained the presidential party and
ho saw Booth spring voon the edge of the
box and leap down upon the stage , with a
knife In Ills hand. Two xi- three days before
the tragedy Hawk nnd Booth , who bad al
ways been almost Inseparable , Mad a quarrel
over a young woman upon whom they were
both calling , and Booth told Hawk If ho
ever called upon her again he would run a
knlfo through him. Hawk had called upon
the young woman the previous evening , and
when ho saw Booth standing on the edge
of the box \\ith a knife ici his hand and
Jump toward folm ho naturally feared for
hU lire and ran.
"As Hawk ran from the stage Booth
Jumped up from where ho had fallen ai. l
limped off with his leg broken. H was
Hawk's running from the stage and conceal
ing himself In his dressing room that con
tused people as to where- Booth had gone ,
and Hawk's dressing room wad ecarclied be
fore they got on the right track. Meantime
Booth had secured a good start on his horse ,
which was waiting for him at the stage door.
Hawk was accused of be'r.is a conspirator In
the plot and came near being murdered n
dozen times.
"My husband , J. II. Evans , was well ac
quainted with Booth , and on the panic evenIng -
Ing that the shooting occurred was with him
for a short time. On account of this fact
ho was placed under arrest , but was released
shortly afterward. He noticed nothing wrorg
about Booth at the time. He was lively , and
a social glass was taken by them before they
separated.
"As Hawk , who wao supposed at first to be
an accomplice , had his room at our house , It
was searched from garret to ceiiar , upon me
remote possibility that Booth was concealed
somewhere under the roof. Walls were
sounded , beds pierced through acid through
with swords and bayonets , the trunks and
wardrobes broken open and searched , and
every possible place of concealment pried
Into. The sound of galloping hoofs outside
the door , ns messengers rushed to nnd fro ,
was almost deafening , nnd it was not for
weeks al'terward ' that any degree of quiet
and order was restored.
"I remember poor Spanglerbom I knew
well and who was stage carpenter near the
theater. Ho happened to bo standing nt the
outer stage door as Booth ran toward him
after the shot , and In his confusion opened
the door for Booth to escape. He was en
tirely Innocent of any criminal intent , but
was Imprisoned for six years and came near
losing his life. W. J. Ferguson was call
boy at the theater. "
Mrs. Evans says that the discussion which
the death of Gcorgo A. Parkhurat In Now
York , In July , 1S90 , "caused " ns to whether
ho was the last surviving- member of Laura
Kceno's company , enabled her to learn the
whereabouts and subsequent history of the
members of the company.
