Forty houses were destroyed and the school house demolished. As the school district is already bonded to the limit prescribed by law the gentlemen desired to see if there was not some way by which funds could be secured to rebuild the school house. Governor Boyd couid see no way of assisting them in this manner and suggested that the people of Mason appeal to the people of Ne braska. This will done. several weeKa ego tho residence of Rev.

Mr. Strickler started to the barn to get a team to take his brother to town, but was overtaken by his wife, who had a knife and declared that she had poisoned both of them, and wanted to die and said she would kill herseif if they succeeded in getting to town.

In the senate on the 12th thedlsous tion of Mr. Quay'* amendment, mak ing the Sunday closing of the World's fair at Chicago a condition precedent for the appropriation of |d.000.000 in its aid (in the shape of 10,00u000 souvenir half dollars.) was resumed and was not concluded when the sen ate adjourned. Mr. Voorhees of In diana offered a resolution declaring that all controversies between employ ers and their employes should be set tled by compulsory arbitration, and instructing the committee on educa tion and labor to inquire into the ex pediency and propriety of preparing ana reporting to the senate a bill mak ing provisions for a commission of la bor. in accordance with the special message ana recommendations of i’res IdenwClevelund. dated April 22. 1886. Thetpesoiution was, at the request of Mr. Hale, laid over, as Mr. Hale de sired to see whether arbitration was not provided for in the act of October 1. 1888. Mr. lleffer made a personal explanation. He said that be hud voted iust Saturday in favor of the amendment to pay to the widows of chief justices and justices of the supreme court a year’s salary of their husbands, lint hard:/ had the vote been announced when lie became sat isfied, in his own mind, that he had made a mistake; lie now desired to state so in the presence of the senate and the country. The house agreed to the conference report on the Dis trict of Columbia appropriation bill. That was all that it accomplished in the way of legislation with the excep tion of the passage of a right of way bill. For the first time this season, a special order reported and passed at the instance of the rules committee went for naught, for when the first measure on the docket of the commit tee that was lucky enou^nto get the rule appeared, being the joint resolu tion, relative to the election of sena tors by a popular vote, the republicans illowed it to be discussed ail day ana then, by fiilibusterlng, practically de feated its further progress. The con ference report on the District of Co lumbia appropriation bill as agreed to, appropriates $(J0,000 to meet the expenses of the Grand Army of the Re public encampment in Washington— the appropriation to be paid entirely out of the revenues of the District of (VmmViiiL In the senate on the 13th. without transacting morning business the sun dry civil appropriation bill was taken up. the pending question being Mr. Quay's Sunday closing amendment to the section providing lor the issue of 10,000,000 souvenir half dollars in aid of tho Columbian exposition, speeches to be limited to live minutes. Mr. Peffer gave notice of a substitute for the section appropriating $5, 000,000 on account of an agreement being entered into for repayment of the amount within two years. Mr. Sanders moved to lay Mr. Quay's amendment on the table—rejected. Yeas, 11; nays. 45. Mr. Quay’s amendment was then agreed to with out a division. Mr. Feller offered an amendment to add to the section, a provision prohibiting the sale or the giving away of intoxicating liquors on the exposition grounds, except for medical, mechanical or scientific pur poses. Mr. Peffer subsequently modi fied the amendment by making it apply merely to sale of liquor. The vote was taken and Mr. Peffer's anti-liquor amendment was agreed to —yeas, 28; nays, 26. Mr. Allison moved an amendment (which was adopted), limiting the gross expendi tures for medals, clerical services, etc., to |50,000. The question was then taken up and the exposition amendment was agreed to: Yeas, 51; nays, 14. The senators voting ••nay” were: Messrs. Bate, Berry, Black burn, Blodgett. Butler, Carlisle, Cock rell, Coke, George, Harris, Irby, Jones (Ark.). Vest and Walthall. The only other question that provoked much discussion on the sundry civil bili was un amendment in regard to a site for a government printing office in Washington. The discussion upon it was half concluded whan the senate The senate on the 14th devoted most of the session to the sundry civil ap propriation bill and passed it before adjournment. The vote of Wednesday in committee of the whole on Mr. Pef fer's amendment to prohibit the sale of intoxicating' liquors within the grounds of the Columbian exposition was reversed. The vote upon its adop tion being: Yeas, 21; nays, 29. .Mr. Vest's substitute for Quay’s Sunday closing amendment was laid on the ta ble Dy a vote of 34 to 17. If the pres ent session had a further prospective term before it of two months the new matter introduced in the senate today in the shape of bills and resolutions would furnish legislative material to occupy the time fully. Mr. Jones of Nevada, from the committee on con tingent expenses. reported a res olution for the appointment qf a se lect committee of seven senators whose duty it shali be to invest igate and report the facts in rela tion to the employment of armed men known as Pinkerton men. or Pinker ton detective* in connection with the recent differences between working, men and employers, involving blood shed and loss of life at Homestead. Pa. In the house. Mr. Andrew of Massa chusetts. from the committee on for eign affairs, reported and the house adopted the McAieir resolution, requesting the Department of State to inquire into the circumstances relating to the imprisonment o' Dr.. Gallagher, an American citizen, in an English prison, and endeavor to secure his release. Mr. Herbert of Alabama presented a disagreeing conference report on the naval appropriation bill, and it was agreed to. Mr. Herbert moved that the house recede from! its disagreement to the senate amend " i oenU, which are etiil in controversy. I neso are the appropriation of $50, 000 for the navul review and the authorization for the construction of >i new battleship. The motion agreed to and the bill it disposed of as far as the house it concerned. The confer, once report on the diplomatic and con sular appropriation bill was presented and agroed to. in the senate on the 15th, most of the day's session was spent in the dis. cussion of the fortifications bill—par ticularly as to the construction of breech loading rifles and mortars and us to the selection of a site on the Pa cific coast for an armory for the fin ishing and assembling of ordnance. The bill was finally passed, leaving only the deficiency bill unacted upon by the senate, ami notice was given that that bill would be taken up to morrow. When the fortification biil was under consideration, Senator S juire offered un amendment, appro priating $1,000,000 for the establish ment on the Pacific coast of a plant for finishing and assembling the parts of heavy guns. He made an earnest speech in advocacy of the amendment, but ft was rejected. Mr. Felton offered an amendment for the appointment by the president of a board of three officers of the army and three officers of the navy to examine and report which is the most suitable site on the Pacific coast or on the rivers, or other waters thereof, for the erection of a plant for finishing and assembling the parts of heavy guns ami other ordnance, and appropriating $2,500 for expenses of the board. Agreed to. In the house, the sundry civil bill occupied almost the entire day. Mr. Holman also re ported back the sunary civil appro priation bill with senate amendments with a recommendation that all the senate amendments be nonconcurred in. Mr. Holmun then asked consent that all the amendments (except those relating to the World's fair) be non concurred in and that those (ice World's fair) amendments be consid ered in committee of the whole. Mr. Goodnight of Kentucky objected aud the house then went into committee of the whole, Mr. Lester of Georgia in the chair, for the purpose of consider ing the senate amendments. All the amendments except those relating to the Worid’s fair were read and non concurred fn. Mr. Holman then asked consent that general debate on the Worid’s fair amendments shall pro ceed today and tomorrow—speeches to be limited to half an hour—and that a vote snail be taken at 12 o'clock Tues day. This was acceded to. la the senate on tne 16th discussion of the details ol the deficiency bill—the last great appropriation bill unacted upon by that body—occupied the day and was completed. In the morning hour Senator Chandler secured the passage of his resolution authorizing an investigation into the immigration and naturalization questions during the recess. The consideration of the defi ciency bill and the senate committee amendments, which include an appro priation of $987,000 for the payment of judgments of the court of ciaims in the French spoliation cases, occupied the senate until o:oo p. m., when, with the bill still uncompleted, the senate went into executive session and ad journed until Monday. In the house the listless attention paid by members to the debate on the resolution giving the World's fair $o, 000.000 in sover eign silver and closing the gates on Sunday, is sufficient evidence that con gressmen are growing weary of the session ana are unxious to adjourn. Not more than 100 members were pres ent at any time today. The advocates of the measure under discussion met with some opposition and it is very evident now that there is a strong sentiment against the amendment. It was opposed today by Mr. Hooker, democrat Mississippi; Mr. Covert, democrat. New York; Mr. Bland, dem ocrat, Missouri; Mr. Wheeler, demo crat Alabama; Mr. Kyle, democrat, Mississippi; Mr. Livingsotone, demo crat. Georgia, and Mr. Moses, demo crat Georgia. Earnest speeches in behalf of the proposition were made by Mr. Hopkins of Illinois, Mr. Chipman of Michigan, Mr. Atkinson ot Pennsyl vania. Mr. Dolliver of Iowa. Mr. Henderson of Iowa, and Mr. Houk of Ohio. Mr. Moses, farmers’alliance of Georgia, inveighed against the propo sition which, he said, was monstrous. It was downright robbery to take this money from the pockets of the people and give it to a private enterprise. Mr. Bland of Missouri followed in a similar vein, during which he took oc casion to make a silver speech. The very language of the senate amend mentauthorizingthecoinageof$d, 000. 000 from uncurrent subsidiary silver coins abraded below the limit of toler ance, was a delusion and a snare, and was a trap set to catch the house. MME. REYMOND ACQUITTED. It Wu Not Murder to Kill Her Hus build's Paramour. Paris, July 15.—The trial of Mme. Reymond for the murder of Mme. Del* aporte Dassimonne is ended and the prisoner Is acquitted. The jury prac tically returned a verdict of justifiable homicide. The prisoner was much af fected. The crime with which the prisoner was charged was committed in this city on May 21 last and was the result of a liasion between her hue band, M. Paul Reymond, and the woman whom she killed. It was a very sensational affair and the talk of Paris for some time. Sympathy for the Strikers. Washington, July 15.—The Federa tion of labor of the District of Colum bia was put on record last night in the ! matter of the Homestead strike. At a meeting of the federation at their headquarters resolutions of sympathy for the strikers were unanimously adopted. - MEN FOB THE MIT.T.s THE CARNEGIE WORKS TO BE STARTED TO-DAY. Fire* Are Already Started and Laborer* at Work—Striker* Suddened by the Kewi—The Captured Bide* u Subject of Much later eat. Homestead, Po., .Tilly 18.—About 1:30 o'olock yesterday there was a hurried beatiog to arms throughout the Second brigade and a scurry imj of officers which was very war-like, w Information had been received that the ciunp was to be attacked from the rear by the loeked-out men before day light Where the rumor came from no one knew, but was sufficient to arouse the brigade, and to have the guards doubled everywhere and to keep the Sixteenth regiment under arms all1 night. Meanwhile the locked-out men slept peacefully all night, totally un aware 01 the alarm they were causing in camp. At an early hour the guards around the mill fence were tripled,so that now the guardsmen are only a few feet apart nround the entire plant. Whether this is caused by the long roll last night or by the information of an in | vasion of the mill can only be con jectured. | Offers of financial aid were received by the leaders, making in all 053 such proffers. Tlie men believe that in a week they could collect 810,000 from various labor organizations to he de voted to the payment of day workmen. In confirmation of the story that ar rests of eertain of the Homestead strikers will soon occur, it comeB from a reliable source that on the morning of July 6 and all during the day detectives were secreted in the mill property armed with kodaks. Snap allots of many of the strikers were taken, and especially those who had , arms. In reference to this story ' Mr. Lovojoy to-day said: "There is foundation for such a story, hut I cannot go into details. This was done as a means of identification in view of the pcssible arrest of the strikers. The finding of the dynamite there yester day I believe to be due to the fact that it was some left over hv a contractor who was building three houses and had to use dynamite to blast for the cellar. I do not believe it was brought there with any design against the mill prop prt.p M At 3 o’clock tins morning fifty men were unloaded at a point near Swiss vale and escorted overland one mile by a guard of tlie militia of the Mononga hela river, opposite the Homestead works. There they boarded the steam er Little Bill and were transported across the river to the company’s prop erty . When the strikers gathered on the streets, as has been their wont since the beginning of the trouble, and looked toward the mills they saw steam issuing from the engines in the annor-plate mill and press shops. They were surprised, they believed it meant business, but were totally unable to account for the presence of a sufficient number of men to keep the machinery in motion. The future policy of the company was outlined by Secretary Lovejoy, who was seen at his office in Pitts burg, and said: "We are now ready to run our mills, men are going into the property in squads, the machinery in the armor plate, press and machine shops is started and a furnace in No. 2 open hear til department has been fired. The mills will be in operation in a few days, possibly by Monday next two thirds of our old men will be ready for work. We believe this to be true. If, however, tliey are not we will run just the same, for we now have a large force in reserve." From another source it was learned that the old workers, such as are de sired, have been given to understand that they could have their old places back if they reported by Monday. All night long men were sent across the river on the Little Bill, and now there ' must be between 300 and 500 men in the company’s property. The strikers are dismayed, and it was observed that not since the trou ble commenced has there been so few strikers on the streets as last night. It was a night of sadness for them, for they saw or heard before retiring that the mills are about to be put in opera- ; tion. Even the women are becoming anxious. | Superintendent Potter instituted a complete seareh yesterday of every j portion of the mills for dynamite or other explosives. If any was found the discovery was not made known. It seems now that it is only a question of time till the mills are placed in op eration. The first clash between the civil and the military authorities occurred shortly after midnight. Amos Stewart, the high constable of the borough, was arrested by tlie patrol and placed in the guard house. He had been drink ing too freely and finally became so boisterous that the patrol ordered him to go home. He refused and declared that no brass-buttoned militiamen could take him in. He was released at 8 o'clock this morning. Dan Lamont Verj III.

W, Boyce ! 2111 Emlhet street; Omaha. j The Conntjr Police (J OUR ST- LOUIS llufldliiKs for Special I'ts/ciislona—• New Street Traneporlalloti Pitellltlea. The county of St. Louis is rich and. !'!'® productive, but it hasn’t the police pro tcction the farmers want The police, system of the city is a very efficient, one and, knowing that, the people of the county are moving to have tlieir villages guarded by a detachment of; the force here. The State law estab— lisliinging the metropolitan police ' force in St Louis provides for the dis tribution of patrolmen in the county, , and it will not be long before they get the twenty coppers they have asked, for out there. Some odd and original ideas have been carried into effect in putting, up new buildings in St Louis latfclj^ There is no other city in the country probably, that lias a large building de— voted entirely to the use of physician*, and in no way connected with a medi cal college. There is one of that kind here, on the corner of Jefferson avenue, and Locust street. It was erected for* the sole purpose of giving the doctors • the kind of offices they need aDd there, is nobody else in it except tlie janitor. There is another bulkling here which is given up to the studies of artists. It. is on the corner of lienumont street, and Locust, ltotli buildings were put-, up by men who were doubtful, at first, of the success of their pvojects, but., each has proved the owner a man of foresight by becoming a profitable in vestment from the first. Fred M. C’rundcn, the manager of the Public Library, showed himself & man of advanced ideas when, in ar— ranging the plans of the new building on Locust street, he provided for a., large room to be used exclusively by women studying or reading. In Europe that is done, but there .is nos library on this side of the water where it is considered necessary to pay this-, attention to the woman students. All women who have to go much to librar ies soy that they cannot work at ease while tliej' are stared at by the men. who come in, and mnny of them com plain that they are often annoyed by people who walk up behind them and July hi, 1803. look over their shoulder. There are two big camp-meetings that. every year attract large numbers of people from tit. Louis. One is the camp meeting at Piasa Uhl ft's, and the other is Camp Marvin. The bluffs are a. score of miles away, and are reached by boats. Hundreds of men from here take their families up there, and leave- ■.. them in the cottages while the camp meeting lasts, running up from the city every day or so to see them. The Marvin camp-ground is only a short, distance away from the city, and is. reached by vehicles. There are no. houses on the grounds, and those who. go out there live in tents till the meet ing is over. The grounds, with tlieir lines of tents, and their religious" ser vices under pine-topped sheds area, unique sight, and the road between here and the busy city is covered every- i day with buggies and carriages full of' people going out to look on. Camp Mar— vin is to be opened about the last of.' this month, and the meeting at Piasa '(/> llluffs will begin as soon as the Marvin meeting ends. One million passengers have to rid® on a street-ear before the company takes in S'jO.OOu, perhaps more, for some of the people ride on passes, and some of them are children and pay only half' fare. "Vet, some of the lines here have not only received that much money in the past year, but have increased their receipts by that much, since they cava up their horse power and adopted elec tricity to propel the cars. It is no wonder that when the reports of the City register show such results from, the change to electricity that all the lines are grasping at the trolley. So. many have given up the cable and the • horses that the electrical magazines. — say St. Louis is ahead of every city in, the United States on its fast transit, mileage. Only four of the twenty-five liues in the city are now using horses. Two of these have already bought their- . material for putting up 'the overhead, wires, and by the time the crowds begin to pour into the city to see tlie-i fall festivities only two slow lines will be left. These are short, and the vis itors will be more interested in them, as a curiosity than inconvenienced. Another Antl-Plnkertou Bill.
