The following in a dispatch from Elm wood to the Omaha World -Herald! The Ilolenbcck alliance muddle reached the climax Saturday when the article that appeared in Saturday's World IltralJ, regarding hi shortage nus read aloud in the alliance meeting. Ilolenbcck. who was chairman, got up and very much degraded himself by us ing the most vile language that could fiat". from the mouth of man. lie was received with hisses, "put hint out." ''come off," uud was finally put out of the cluiii. Mr. Joseph Chapman, past chairman, resumed the chair and told Holenback that his vile and ungentlo maniy language would not he tolerated in the hall, as it was a disgrace to the honorable members of the alliance. In his angry passjuu tor gore Ilolenbcck handed in his resignation from the al liance, and it was received with a unani mous "yea! yea!" He was escorted to the door never more to return. He had already been fired as business manager and now he is out entirely. L. F. Laoghorat has been appointed manager and will fill theoflice with credit. Later The report that Ilolenbcck had resigned from the allianc3 is a mistake. He simply resigned as chairman. FELL FROM HIS ENGINE. Engineer Roberts, of the B. & M Hurt Near Ashland. Tuesday V Daily, Mr. J. G. Roberts, for several years an engineer on the B. & M. road and having regular runs from Plattsmouth, had a serious accident befall him this morning Enroute to Lincoln with the flyer (leav ing Plattsmouth at 3:35 a. m ) a stop was made near South Bend to attend a hot box on the engine. He was drawing his train with a heavy camel-back engine, on which the engineer's cab is located over the boiler, and above the fireman, Just as the train was drawing near Ash land, the fireman discovered Engineer Roberts was not on the engine, and mak ing the Ashland stop himself he gave the alarm. A party of section hands started back the track immediately, while the fireman, E. P. Mitchell, acted as engineer to Lincoln, with a coal heaver from Ash land as fireman. The search party for Engineer Roberts found him insensible two miles this side of Ashland. He was taken to Ashland and Dr. T. P. Livingston telegraphed for, who took the 9:15 a. m. passenger to reach the wounded man. No bones were broken, but at last report he was still unconscious, and how the accident hap pened is uncertain, bat it is supposed that the engineer crawled from the cab out on the foot board and in attempting to examine the hot box from there fell from the rapidly moving train. 4. large circle of friends and acquaintances are concerned to hear an encouraging report concerning Mr. Robert's condition. Seri ous internal injuries are feared. District ourt. Judge Chapman rendered an important decision this morning in the case of Oldham and Nichols vs. the Lewiston church. The readers of the Herald will remember mention of this case some time ago. The charge that the plaintiffs brought was that the church was built by subscription and that it was to be used as a non secterian church, although it was under the control of the Metho dist Episcopal church, and that the churcn had been used as agreed upon till this spring when the Methodist preacher organized a Methodist Episco pal Sunday School. Judge Chapman dismissed the in junction and taxed all costs against the plaintiffs. The sum and substance of the decision is that the church belongs to the Metho dist Episcopal Church, and any one worshiping there must worship as such and not as non sectarian . Beeson & Root and Mathew Gering for plaintiffs and Byron Clark attortey for defendant. The case of Basset vs. Basset, a divorce, was granted. Judge Chapman also over ruled the demur in the case of Hendricks vs. Medkiff, giving them 30 days in which to file their answer. Judge A. W. Field has been trying the case of Fred Gorder vs. the Plattsmouth Canning Co., which is still on docket es we go to press. A. N. Sulliyan attorney for plaintiff Beeson & Rot and .G.J W. Covell for defendant. Among the claims filed against the es tate of Francis U Williams, reported in proceedings ot coanty court yesterday was one by Heater & Keim, marble deal ers of Lincoln for a monument to de ceased costing $140. The testimony showed that three of the heirs had or dered the monument, the other heirs and the executors not having been consulted in the matter. The ceurt held that the claim, or the facts shown to exist, was not a legal charge against the estate and that the parties ordering and contract ing for the monument were alone liable for its payment HOQ THIEVES. They Take to the Brush . Leaving Their Wagon and Team to the Officers. Last Friday night two men stole four head of hogs from Mr. A. Ilastie out of the stock yard pen at Elmwood. By Mr. Ilastie sending telegrams in all di rections the fellows were discovered at West Lincoln, where they were just dis po.iug of two of the hogs. The police were notified by telephone, but before he officers arrived the fellows smelt a mouse andj without much ado they jumped into their wagon and drove rap idly westw&rd. By this time-two Lin coln officers were on their trail and were gaining on them when, at a distance of about two miles west of the village, they concluded it would not do to stay with their wagon and so left it and took to the brush, thus eluding the police. Their team was taken in charge however returned te Lincoln and placed in Gra ham's barn. Yesterday morning ;the owner of the wagon appeared and swore to his property, identifying the men who day before yesterday paid him 1.50 for the use of it to haul goods. He did not know their names or where they lived he said, but as his team was not in use thought he would make extra money by hiring it out. His identification of the men was very meagre and will help the police but little. From Monday's Daily. Geo. F. Smith of Omaha is in the city today.

So far aa present indications go there ia no possible "chanc of the strike on the New York Central road affectinflr the. Chicago roads belong ing to the system where at present the trouble Is raging. The situation is mis: The fight now going on is one backed oy the Knights of Labor. West of Buffalo there are no railroad men members of that ortranizatlon. or. more properly ppeaking, no assembly of railroaders be longing to mat ixxiy. ine junsuicuon of the Knights of Labor does not, thwe fore extend to Chicago. Railroad men here lielong to what is known as the Federated Railway organization and, u anything, are not very friendly to the Knights, on account of previous elands taken by them during railroad troubles in this city. Grand Master Sweeney of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid association positively asserted that "there will be no strike in Chicago. The Knights of Labor will have to fight it out alone, and they have no jurisdiction whatever on any lines centering here. The coun cil of ihe Federated Railway organiza tion alone can order a strike, and that at present is not even remotely probable or even possible. " Strikers Are Cautluuit. New Yokk, Aug. 12. When Vice President Webb received Col. Judson's reply to his request for protection of tho men and projerty at the Syracuse and Dewitt yards, he called a confer ence of the Central officials. They de cided to instruct the linkertou de tectives employed there to charge the strikers ujmju any show of violence, and if necessary to give the governor a casus belli for the ordering out of the troops. Shortly after 1 p. m. a train of five freight cars, heavily loaded, moved from the St. John's Park freight depot to the yards at Thirty-third street. A return trip was made with a number of Michi gan Central cars from Detroit later. All is quiet around the freight depot. I'liikertontt at Syracuse. Syracuse, N. Y., Aug. 12. At 4 p. m. fifty Pinkerton detectives and 100 railroad men went to East Syracuse. The Pinkertons formed in line and cleared the yard, the strikers yielding without a struggle. The strikers are now in session. The other men at once went to work making up freight trains. It is reported that the strikers were ad vised by their leaders at Albany to sur render on having word from Governor Hill that the military would be ordered to East Syracuse at once if the running of all trains was not permitted. curtailment at Fall River. Fall Rivek, Mass., Aug. la. The curtailment of production generally went into effect. Nearly three-quarters of the co; porat ions have shut down for sixty'iM t.s. This will take off about l0,Uu pieces of goods. The Spinners' union has unanimously decided to with draw from the trades council, and that body is now practically disintegrated, owing to ersonal quarrels. Only thre labor bodies now remain in, and one of those is considered defunct. The weav ers will probably withdraw from the council at its monthly meeting this week. a moody Affray. Kingston, N. Y., Aug. 12. Particu-. lars have been received from Glasco of a bloody affray which took place Sun Ccy rfght at a dance attended by a party of Italian brickyard laborers.

Patani Calpino was hacked with an axe until life was ex tinct. Two other men were shot and another was felled with a blow from a club, receiving probably fatal injuries. The women in the place also took part in the fight, and were covered with blood. Calpino was about 50 years of re and leaves a family. Two men have been arrested charged with his murder, and the police are on the track of two others who were implicated. A liig Strike at Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Aug. 12. Two thousand five hundred machinists and skilled mechanics struck for nine hours a day with ten hours' pay rule. About l,80o of the strikers are employed by the Westinghouse Electric company and the Westinghouse Machine company. The remainder are employed at various shops in Allegheny and Pittsburg. Sev eral firms in both cities have acceded to the demands and the strike will prob ably be of short duration. The strikers held an enthusiastic meeting. Speeches were made and committees appoint d to attend to the details of the strike. It is very likely the employes of the West inghouse Air Brake company in Alle gheny ar.dt the Wilmerding shops will strike. The men in these shops are pre pared to come out at a moment's notice. The employes of the Union, Switch and Signal company at SwissvaW will also probably be called out. Proctor Knott and the Zenith City. Louisville, Ky., Aug-. 12. Ex-Governor J.
