THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE, LINCOLN, NEB.. THURSDAY , SEPT. 10, 1891. BAD BANK CLERKS. Two Arrested for Falsifying stone Dank Accounts. PRISON PLOT FBUSTEATED. pr Fight Httmi Ka tacky Ca la Eaeapad lrisonen Ba(g ed TkfM f tfca Poplar Blnn Oaiig Retakaa. Faar Oat Sis Recaptured. Philadelphia Sept 7. Charles R. Egtj and E. Maguire, formerly Individ ul ledger clerks at the Keystone bank, were arrested charged with making false ntriea in the ledgers and making inch statements as would tend to deceive the bank examiner. It is expected that an other arrest upon the same charge will be made. The arrest of Magnire and Ege were made upon the affidavits worn oat by the government account ant who have been examining the books of the back. Maguire and Ege were brought before United States Commissioner Craig and released on $10, 000 bail for a hearing on Tuesday. The method alleged to have been panned in the falsification of the ledgers was to decrease the balances of the depositors. Up to Sat unlay morning, when be was dismissed, Ege had been helping Re ceiver Yard ley to straighten out the books of the banks. ( Desperate Fight Uetweea Convicts. Feakkfobt, Ky., Sept. 7. Two con victs in the penitentiary made a deadly assault upon each other and a third at tempted to separate them. All three are in the hospital with fata) wonnds. The men are Lli Lucas, serving a life sentence for murder; William Belle meyer, serving fifteen years, aud Will iam Johnson, serving twenty-one years. There has been euuie feeling exuding be tween Lucas and Bellemeyer, and Belle meyer tuade a rush at Lucas, who drew a knife and made a sweeping cut across Bellemeyer's abdomen. Johnson inter fered, and a brick thrown by one of the others strnck him on the head. Belle znryer then knocked Lucas down and stamped him about the face and breast. At this juncture the guards arrived and put an end to the affair. Bellemeyer will die. Lucas is in such an unrecog nizable and bruised condition that it is difficult to ascertain tha extent of his wounds. Johnson's skull was cracked. A riot to Brenk from Prison. San Francisco, Sept. 7. -A daring plot to break from state prison at San Qnentin has been frustrated and seven leaders, who are among the most desper ate among the 1,801) convicts, bave been placed in solitary cells. It was the in i lention to fell the guard with a slung hot as he passed the cell of one of the loaders. With his keys all the other convicts would be released, the guards In the yards overpowered and the es cape made. The plot was detected by a guard overhearing certain words that roused his suspicion. The men were watched and gradually the names of the leaders learned. When the crisis was thought to be at hand, the leaders were arrested and lodged in the solitary cells, where they are being closely guarded. Escaped Prisoners Bagged. Poplar Bicffs, Mo., Sept. 7. -Sheriff Samuel Gardner and a posse of five men, armed with Winchester rifles, came marching into town with three of the prisoners who escaped from the county jail, viz.. Dave Woolard and Al fred Brown, both charged with the murder of John Yardbro, an old farmer living about sixteen miles from this place, last spring, and Nathan Horton, who is charged with burglary. rrance and Russia. Paris, Sept.,7.-It is asserted that the ccar has determined to visit Cherbourg in his yacht and that he will probably extend his tour to Paris. If he should so decide his reception will be one of imposing grandeur, owing to the inti mate relations believed to exist between the French and Russian governments. Austria's Reply. Paris, Sept. 7. A correspondent of The Figaro says that Austria will reply to the Turco-Russian convention by an nexing Bosnia. Seacoait Towns Flooded. AsbtjhyPark, N. J., Sept. 7. The avere rains of the past two days and the unusually heavy surf caused much damage along the New Jersey seacoast towns. Many bad cuts were made in the Long Branch bluff. . The New Jer ery Southern railway tracks at High land beach were undermined by the high tide. At Browntown, a small As bury Park colored settlement, the streets are all inundated and people are wading from place to place. In many houses the water has flooded the first floors. Several small sailing vessels were driven ashore at Atlantic Highlands. Balling's Spiritual Adviser Released. San akn ah, Mo., Sept. 7. The Rev. August Lavake, who acted as spiritual adviser at the hanging of Louis Balling, has been released in bonds of $500 to an swer the charge of furnishing Balling the weapon with which the murderer attempted suicide just before his execu tion. It is generally believed now that the priest is innocent. Balling left a letter in which he directed the sheriff to return the revolver to Abe Bulling, his brother, who, he said, knew to whom it belonged and how it cams into his possession. . Disappointed in Lore. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 7. Fred A. Eichler of Chicago died ia his bed. The indications are that the young man was despondent over a love affair and com mitted suicide by taking morphine. He left a letter addressed to his sweetheart in this city.

EurroB Alliance: About every so often some one bote up serenely and pives the Electric Light company e roasting to which someone who Is atbarued to sign bis name answers, who seems to be well pleased with the pres ent status of affair. In my opinion the? roasting is directed upon the wrong parties. The liebtinz company are not to blame for getting all tbey ran for their services. But somebody is to blame for allowing tbem to get such contract lor which tbey can oner no txcu?e, not even ignorance. For before letting this contract, our ci'y council was importuned not only by myself, but by prominent citizens personally and by a lare petition from heavy tax payers not to let it without farther in vesiigation as it was universally be lieved to be too high. Not being satisfied with this contract (which was open robbery), these same gentlemen go on and modify the origi nal contract so as to pay the company about 25 per cent more for thair ser vices than in the first one and double that which was necessary in either caw. This seems to be a broad assertion, but look a little farther and see. First as to the extra 33 per cent: The first cjutrai t was at the rate of $10 per month for midnight lights and 113 for all night lights, or $120 per year, and $180 respectively. Our present con tract is $8.50 per month for mid night lights, $13.50 for all night lights. to burn every night except moonlight nights or nights that it should be moon liilit whether It is cioudy or stormy or not. Taking the month of August for .n example, the lights were not run to ex ceed twenty full nights which is at the rate of 421 cents for midnight lights and 02, cents for all night lights, or at thereto of $13.75 per month for mid night and $18.75 for all night lights. Now lot us see about the cost, as com pared to other cities who own their own light plants. The following figures 1 have ovor the signatures of the mayor of each city mentioned and there are others which we will not ask space to present: 882323 S SS SS! i ss'ssteg a at: -? si E O lO . Sifl Si 3 0. Ss&ssa "a s a Mm S m sir H a a. Mere we have the record of nine cities showing tho cost to average $04 38 per year per light. Theplauts cost ou an average of $25 per lamp. lo put in a riant here of 200 light ca pacity it would cost the citv about $50,000. Now suppose we say it will cost$75.00 peryoar to run our lights all dark hours, which is more than it is coating any othor city whore they have munici pal lighting, it will cost us then $15,000 per year to maintain our plant as against $30,000 for the same service from our present system. At the end of tive years we would have saved to the city the insignificant sum of $75,000. But says the Electric company, you have a plant that cost you $50,000. Very well, we will hold on to our plant just five years more, and we will own it ourselves. And we can so a littlo further than liehting the streets, and do as we do with our city wator, sell it to whoever will buy. Tak ing the cost of incandescent lights to the city of Chariton, Iowa according to the mayor's statement, is $3.15 per year (or 10-candle power, let us cut the price charged in Lincoln In two and sell Ufor half the present price charged for commercial lighting and it leaves a handsomo prolil to the city which would go a long ways toward a sinking fund to pay for our $50,000 plant, andl ven ture to say that if the city will put in an electric light plant and sell commer cial lighting at. the prices charged at present by the Wectno Light company the plant will pay for itself and keep no all running expenses in tive yeais. Wow inasmuch as this last contract was let, as I am informed, illegally by not advertising for bids tor the same, and the company are not even living up to it rotten as it is and favorable as it is to thorn, it seems to me tho sooner the lighting question is investigated the better. My solution would be to buy the oomrmnv's lant at its rush value if such could be done; otherwise put in one of our own and furnish light to the city at ccst, and commercial light ing at a small proht to be used s a sinking fund.

Sphinqfield, O., Sept. 7. A special from Covington, Ky.,says one of thelarg- est land suits ever brought in this part of the county was filed in the United States circuit court in Covington. Ths action is brought by John Lorie, a res ident of Nebraska. There are 16O de fendants, from which it is sought to re cover 40,000 acres of land in Powell and Liee counties, in the state of Kentncky. 1 be land is valuable for the Iarire coal and iron deposits, and the timber with which it abounds. It is said to be worth about $30 an acre, which makes the entire tract worth $1,200,000, Mr. Lone claims it under a Virginia patent issued in 1770 by Patrick Henry, the then governor of Virsrinia. The property is traversed for twenty miles uy a raiiroau. constructed a lew years ago. Ihe claimant is represented by 1J. Simrall and Thorton M. Hiskl of Cincinnati, and 0'IIara & Ryan of vAivmgton. 1 ne land nas become ex tremely valuable, and it is said that a company is about to be formed to buy sou uuveiop 11 it possioie. Some of the defendants have comfor table homes on the land. WAR TALK ABROAD. Half Million Russian Troops on the Polish Frontier Patriotic Poles at Cracow. Vienna, Sept. 7. The Austrian em peror is to some extent compensated for the disloyal attitude of the Bohemians by the growing devotion of the Galician Poles. The latter are even enirer to sen war break out in order that they may have a chance to avenge their national wrongson Russia, which country they hold chiefly responsibly for the destruc tion of Poland. At Cracow the people inarch in the streets singing the Polish national hymn and rhymes violently abusive of Russia, and some even per sonally directed at the czar. The po lice make pretenses of interfering at times, but it is said the Austrian au thorities are secretly pleased with the manifestations as a counterpart to the anti-Austrian agitation in Bohemia, which is attributed chiefly to Russian influences. All indications are that, in the event of a Russian invasion of Gali cia, the Poles will rise as one man to battle against their hereditary enemies. The reason for Polish devotion to Aus tria is that nowhere has Austrian rule been more beneficent than in Austrian Poland, where it contrasts sharply with the opposition exercised by the Russians on the other side of the border. Revolution In Haytl. Nbw York, Sept. 7. The news from Hayti by the steamship Adriondack is that President Hippolyte is in constant apprehension of an attack from the revolutionists led by General Legitime. All Haytian ports are heavily garri soned and extra guards protect the pal ace at Port-au-Prince. The general feel, ing is that an outbreak is inevitable. Notice lo Coa Consumers.
