A Mysterious Death.
About two weeks ago two bones
driven by a middle aged man, the
wagon containing a young woman,
stopped at a farm house three or fonr
miles out from Stromsburg. The man
asked for permission to leave the
young woman at the bouse for a few
days as she was not feeling very well.
The farmer's wife consented and the
woman was taken into the house, to be
| followed by her trunk which was in
the wagon. The man drove off and
has not been seen since.
The woman became ill shortly after
being taken into the house and a doctor
was summoned, liefore be arrived she
had given birth to a child and had died.
She was so ill that the farmer’s wife
was unable to question her satisfac
torily. After her death her trunk and
her clothing were searched, but there
was not the slightest thing which
would lead to her identification. Her
body was buried in the cemetery and
the event is probably forgotten by this
time. The baby was brought to the
Home for the Friendless on Sept. 11
and is said to be getting along as well
as could be expected.
Perished for Want of Care.
A complaint was made to F. J. Tay
lor, county attorney of Howard cor nty,
that the infant child of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Zimmons, living about two
miles northeast of St. Paul, was re
ceiving improper care by the mother
refusing to nurse it and provide it with
proper food, and from the general
abuse and mistreatment of its parents
the infant would die unless something
was done immediately. The child was
about 15 days old, and when visited by
a number of citizens was found to be
wrapped in wet clothing and placed in
a room by itself. A coffin had been
ordered, a grave arranged for and a
woman engaged to prepare the remains
for burial, although the child was
found to be still alive. The party re
turned to town after giving the parents
some very pointed advice and sent a
doctor to visit the baby, but on the
next morning the child was dead. Pub
lic sentiment demanded an investiga
tion. The coroner was called for, who
at once impaneled a jury and took tes
timony. The jury returned a verdict
finding that the infant came to its
death from want of proper food and
care and general neglect of its parentB,
No arrests have yet been made, bat
great indignation prevails.
A Peculiar Accident.
Kearney dispatch: A very peculiar
and painful accident happened to a
young1 man just south of the river in
Phelps county Saturday night He was
out in the yard barefooted when a bolt
of lightning struck him on the right
aide of the head, burning his hair as if
touched with a candle. The fluid then
passed down liis neck, across his chest
and down his left side, going out at his
left foot and tearing it to pieces. The
heel was completely torn away, and
nothing was left of the foot except a
atrip from the instep to the big toe, all
the other toes being torn out, and the
foot had the appearance of being run
through a threshing machine. He was
immediately brought to the city and
his foot amputated. He is now on a
fair way to recovery, and aside from
the loss of the foot suiters no effects
from the shock. It is supposed that he
had his left foot on the ground at tho
time of the stroke and that is the cause
of the strange phenomena.
A Valuable Horse Stolen.
O’Neill dispatch: O’Neill horsemen
are considerably agitated over the theft
of Kay S, record 2:39*£, owned by B.
A. Deyarman. which occurred here re
cently. The mare had been running
in the pasture of the Idlb Wild stock
farm, a few miles west of O'Neill, and
the last time she was seen by her own
er was about two weeks ago Sunday
Deyarman went out to his pasture to
bring the mare in, when the discoveay
of the theft was made. Two years ago
the mare, which is a C-year-o'ld roan,
standard bred Hambletonian, was cam
paigned through the eastern Nebraska
circuit, where she made her record.
Her young colt, which was in the pas
ture with her, was not taken, and had
been adopted by a motherly old mare
that» colt about its age. The mare
was valued at about S500.
Lincoln County Will Protest.
Tbe managers of the Lincoln county
exhibit of the state fair will protest
against the action of the judges in
awarding the first premium on county
exhibits to Furnas county. The pro*
test will be filed immediately on re
ceipt of official notice that such an
award has been made. The protest
will be made on the grounds that Fur
nas county had no exhibit on the
grounds and place at the time specified
by the rules, and that but three coun
ties in tho state were entitled to be
considered in the award under the
rules, one of these being Lincoln. Sec
retary Seeberger stated that the
awarding of prizes was a farce. He ac
cuses the judges of partiality to non
irrigated counties and states that the
Burlington railroad interest favored
the non-irrigated territory.
Jail Delivery at Plattsmootli.
A clever piece of jail-brealcing was
performed at Plattsmouth by four pris
oners confined in the cage at the county
jail in that city whereby ail made their
escape. Their exit was mado by locat
ing a weak place in the jail floor near
the washstand, where constant damp
had caused it to rust almost through.
By the use of a piece of iron off the
bedstead a hole was made through the
sheet steel about eighteen inches long
and twelve inches wide. Through this
the prisoners escaped. Two of the
prisoners were held on serious charges.
A reward will be offered for their ap
prehension.

SPLIT IN TAMMANY HALL
TEE JOIN J. DELAKET FACTION
BOLTS TIE ORGANIZATION.
HAD A RED-HOT MEETING.
All Sort* of Charge* Bandied Baek and
Forth bjr the Delaneyltee and Dalton
Follower!—New Tammany Lead
er* Selected—Colonel George
B. McClellan Succeed!
Bourke Cochran.
New York, Sept 30.—The Dalton
and Delaney factions of Tammany
locked horns at a meeting at the hall
last night and there was a remarkable
warm time over the contest in the
Eleventh district. The fight was pre
cipitated by the report of the commit
tee on credentials sustaining the sit
ting members. John J. Delaney, who
headed the contesting delegation, said
that the Dalton men had been elected
by fraud and threatened that this fac
tion would bolt in the Eleventh dis
trict on election day and destroy the
maxim that the fights of Tammany
were always settled in Tammany.
I’he resolution to continue the Dalton
faction in their seats was carried with
i shout, however, and then Delaney
»nd his braves left the hall.
In the course of his speech Delaney
charged that Dalton, who used to be
»n excise commissioner, had fattened
his organizationoby taking in men who
had been in state prison. He namedla
J number of thugs who had joined Dal
ton and pointed them out. It would
not be charged against him, Delaney
laid, as it had been charged against
the state Democracy, that “he had not
made his fight within the organiza
tion.” “Such methods as these men
have adopted,” the opposing leader
from the Eleventh district shouted,
“make it necessary for any man that
tomes into Tammany hall to leave his
manhood behind.” Delaney’s follow
ers numbered 500.
Ex- Police Commissioner John C.
Sheehan was chosen as treasurer of
Tammany and ex-Congressman Amos
I. Cummings was made chairman of
the printing’ committee, supplanting
ax-Mayor Gilroy. Colonel George B.
McClellan was chosen to Bourke Cock

ro STOP SUGAR CUTTING.
The Trust and Wholesale Dealers Combine
Against Department Store Sales.
Chicago, Sept. 30.—The proprietors
of some of the large retail groceries
ind department stores in this city
bave unearthed what is said to be the
~>tronge«t combination ever forined to
control the price of sugar.. It is said
that the wholesale grocers have nearly
perfected an arrangement with the
sugar tiust, by which retail grocers
ind department stores will be cut off.
Several of the retailers and depart
ment stores have already been notified
by the agents of the trust that they
will not be allowed to buy any more
sugar on a parity with the wholesalers]
The plan proposed is that the gro
wers are to act simply as factors for
the trust, forwarding to it within
thirty days after the receipt of goods
the amount of the invoice less 1 per
sent trade discount on 100 barrel lots
with the.right to deduct X per cent ad
ditional if the forwarding of tytsh is
made in seven days, the dealers not to
be permitted to sell sugar either
directly or indirectly at less than the
rate book prices of the trust. A com
mission of one-eighth of one cent a
pound is to be allowed to the grocer
by the trust, and sixteenth of one
sent additional is to go into a general
fund for maintaining a local associa
tion. It is said that the trust proposes
to pursue, similar tactics in all the
leading cities in the country.

ARRESTED BY SOLDIERS.
Major George A. Amies In Trouble for
Insulting General Schofield.
Washington, Sept 30. — Captain
George A. Arnes, retired, better
known as Major Armes, was arrested
at his home, Armes] eigh park, last
evening by soldiers, and is confined in
the Washington barracks. The order
for his arrest was signed by Assistant
Adjutant General Vincent, ‘-'By order
of the acting secretary of war.” Gen
eral Schofield was the acting secre
tary.
There has been a personal quarrel
of twenty-five years’ standing between
General Schofield and Major Armes.
The latter was refused an interview
with the general and wrote hi-u an
insulting ietter.
Major Armes was court martialed
for pulling the nose of Governor Bea
ver of Pennsylvania at the inaugura
tion of President Garfield.
General Schofield said to-day that he
regretted exceedingly having been
forced to take action against Armes,
but being acting secretary of war at
the time, he felt obliged to order his
arrest solely in the interest of military
discipline, and without regard to per
sonal consideration. If he had not
been acting as secretary of war he
would have ignored the incident alto
gether.
It is said at the war department that
Major Armes will remain in confine
ment until his case is disposed of by
Secretary Lamont unless his release is
ordered by the civil courts on a writ
of habeakcorpus. Any process of the
civil courts in this case will be imme
diately respected.

Irish Liberty Proposed.
Chicago, Sept. 30.—When the Irish
delegates assembled for their second
day’s work, little time was lost in pre
liminaries and the election of perma
nent officers was put through at a
rapid pace, the following being unan
imously chosen: J. F. Finnerty, chair
man; J. P. Sutton, secretary; J. F.
Keating, T. L. II. McGrevy and J. C.
Strain, assistant secretaries; J. M.
Kennedy of Montana, C. D. O’Brien of
St. Paul, C. F. Driscoll of New Haven,
P. J. Judge of Holyo.ie and Cornelius
Harding of Pittsburg, vice presidents.
When the report of the committee
on credentials was submitted, it was
received with some disfavor by a fe\P
of the delegates because Dr. Paul M.
Sheedy and John Madden from the
Ancient Order of Hibernians and a
convention of the Irish-American citi
zens of Allegheny, county, Pa., were
refused seats. An amendment seating
the two was offered, and trouble was
threatened for a time, but the com
mittee was sustained by a liberal ma
jority and the matter was dropped,
the claim being that the credentials
were not sufficient.
Considerable enthusiasm was created
by a motion to add O’Donovan Rossa
to the list of vice Presidents, but
Rossa declined.
Then Finerty, in an address to the
convention, declared for an Irish
American standing army which should
be ready to do battle for Ireland
whenever opportunity might present
itself. The chairman's views met
with the approval of the delegates
and were supported by hearty enthus
iasm. He outlined a plan by which
young Irish-Americans throughout the
country should be organized into mil
itary companies which would as a
whole constitute a standing army that
might at a proper time strike for
Irish liberty.
rcnaiun LISI CROWING.
Over t Thousand More Kama Added
Than Have Been Dropped.
Washington, Sept. 2o.—A year ago
Commissioner of Pensions Lochren
said that the limit had probably been
reached in the number of pensions, or
rather in the amount of the yearly
appropriation for pensions, but that
for two or three years the payments
would remain about the same. It was
his opinion that there would be a
slight reduction in the number of pen
sioners on account of deaths, but that
the allowance of the new pension with
back pay and arrears would probably
keep the amount about even. While
the amount of mony paid for pensions
will not be materially different from
that of past years, it appears that
there has been added to the pension
rolls during the year about 1,000
names in excess of those that have
dropped out, as there has been an in
crease, instead of a decrease. There
have been a great many outstanding
pension claims adjusted during the
year, and that accounts for the large
increa e. The year lias not been fa
tal to pensioners, the death rate being
less than would be anticipated at the
time of life at which the veterans of
the late war have arrived. *

Comments of a London Paper.
London, Sept. 26.—The Pall Mall
Gazette this afternoon prints a leader
on the s-bject of the Irish Nationalist
convention at Chicago. It expresses
the opinion that the so-called new
movement is very like the old one,
which wai temporarily crushed by the
revelations in connection with the
murder of Dr. Cronin in Chicago, and
the object of which, it asserts, was
clearly proved to be boodle and not the
independence of Ireland.
“We can afford to smile at Mr. Fin
erty's statements,” says the Gazette,
“but if the Irish will formulate their
demands and agitate for redress in the
manner adopted by Englishmen they
will find England more than ready to
meet them half way. Threats only
stiffen our back and dull our hearing. ”

FIVE SHOTS AT BANKERS. %
An Ei-K.mu Cashier Attempts to Be
fence the Loss of s Balt.
Norton, Kan., Sept. 26.—In 1893 the- 1
Norton County State bank of this city,,
of which Morgan Heaton was cashier,,
tailed. There was some talk at the
time of mismanagement by Heaton* "
but the real cause was the sudden de
preciation of land values. Heaton’s
wife owned ninety-six shares of stock.
In January, 1894, the bank was reor
ganized undeb new management, and
Mrs Heaton was requested to assign
to them her stock. She refused.
Later, 'she alleged, she did as
sign the stock to avoid a threat
ened prosecution of her husband for
embezzlement. She also signed a deed
to the homestead property and some
school land certiorates. She later
brought suit to recover the value of
the stock, #9,600, and to set aside the
deed to the homestead and other land,
because they were signed under duress.
The only witness by whom she could
prove that she acted under duress,
aside from her husband, who could
not testify under the law, was John
Brown, a notary, who took the ac
knowledgment of the deeds and other
papers.
The trial was held this week, and
the defendants, the Norton County
State bank, raised the point that the
notary could not now impeach his re
turns as made at that time. The court
so held, and rendered judgment for
the defendants. ' i
At 9 o’clock this morning, Heaton f
shot four times at J. M. Craig, one of
the defendants, but none of the shots
took effect. Heaton then ran into th«N^
Norton County State bank and at- \
tempted to shoot the cashier, W. T.
Shoemaker, but missed him. Heaton
was finally arrested. Craig lives at
Plattsmouth,-Neb., and is a banker
there.
REDRESS FOR INDIANS.
Commissioner Browning Wants Thor*
Washington, Sept. 26.—Commission*
cr of Indian Affairs Browning’ has
made his annual report to the secre
tary of the interior. It shows progress
in nearly all directions. Of the trouble
bet ween the Bannock Indians and the
whites at Jackson's Hole, Wyo., he
says that the whole matter Jias been
referred to the department t)f justice
and the attorney general ha9 reported
that no Indians are now confined in
Wyoming for violating the game laws
of that state. The department of jus
tice does not see how redress can be
obtained for the Indians who have
paid their fines. Recent reports of
Agent Teter are quoted to .show that
the Indians are still sullen and that
they demand that the whites who
wronged them bo punished and the
commissioner asks whether or not the
department of justice cannot do some
thing towards punishing, the offend- ! '

NO FIGHTING IN TEXAS.
Application for Licenses Refuse:! Despite
Austin, Texas, Sept. 26.—Yesterda^
application was made to Comptroller
Finley by the tax collectors of Mc
Lennen and Hayes counties for prize
fight licenses which were promptly
refused by the comptroller at the in
stance of the attorney general, who,
in a* written opinion, still contends
that Judge Hurt’s opinion, delivered
at Dallas last week, nullifying the-,
anti-prize fight law, is not binding,,
and holding Judge Hurt’s opinion in
error, in that it is impossible for two
conflicting provisions of a statute in
parti materia, enacted at different
times, to be in force at one and the
same time. The tax collectors have
appealed to the supreme court for a
writ of mandamus to secure a license.
