f o' Mrs. It S. Williams , who has been lyingat
fe" tbo St. Joseph's hospital Binco Sunday morn-
j Ing- , suffering from the bite of a mad dog ,
| r died yesterday afternoon shortly after 1
o'clock. His death was comparatively an
easy one , aa his strength had been almost
fie entirely exhausted by spasms through which
I ? he had passed. The last of these spasms
2 , seized him early yesterday morning- , and from
' ' that time ho failed rapidly.
r " It had been ever six weeks since the boy
r wus bitten by tbo dog , and as the Injury was
* Blight one , on bis right hand , not much at-
- tcntlon wns paid to It until shortly before her
r * v w taken to th hospital. At thnt time the
" ' > ' " > ' bet an to net strangely , and a physician
1. wis called , who advised the patient's removal
fx to the hospital. 'Iho case is a sad one.
{ Owing to thogrcat interest which has been
: manifested in the case by the medical profe.i-
elon of the city , it wns decided to hold a post
mortem examination. Opinion also differed
ns to whether it wns an authentic cneo ot
rabies or not , and the result of the cxamiuu-
tion wus eagerly looked for.
At 8 o'clock last evening about thirty of the
medical men ol the city gathered in the little
back room of Burkct'B undertaking establish
ment , on Sixteenth Btreot , to watch the pro
gress of the examination. Tee post mortem
wns under the direction of Dr. Gnilbruith. and
the exnuilnntion wn * mndo byDrs. Wilco.x nnd
Aycrs. The top of the skull wns removed nnd
the brain exposed to view. Examination re
vealed the Inct that there was considerable
cerebral hommorrhago and that the brain
WUB grontly congested. There was also mani
fest an adhesion of tbo brain to the lining of
the skull. The bruin was n massive one nnd
when removed from the skull weighed flfty-
flvo ounces.
Dr. Ayers then proceeded to open the oho.it
end nil of the organs wore cnref ully inspected
but still no concert of opinion as to the im
mediate cause of death could bo arrived at.
I Bonus hold that the indications wore strongly
1 ' those of hydrophobia , others dlrectlv to the
contrary , BO they Dually agreed to disagree ,
end thus adjourned. The public mind is no
better off than it was before. [ Omaha Bee.
SEEKING TITO SEA. At a conference in Bos
ton Tuesday the committee of the Union Pn-
ciflc and Northern Pacific railroad companies
agreed In making nn offer to the committee
of the Oregon Rnilwny nnd Nnvisrntion com
pany to lease jointly thnt company's property
r at the rate of five PT cent dividends on the
stock for three years and six per cent after
ward. The committee did not accept the
offer , but replied with one somewhat more
favorable to the Orozon comppnv. The dif
ference wns so small , however , thnt the mem
bers of the committee regard the joint lcn : o
almost as an accomplished fact , excentlmrtho
nrrangementof details. Itispencrally under-

to complete the lease , which will give it nn

while some of the Northern Pacific direotors

TUE MORMON QUESTION.
As Jn-elt TTjion fry a Member of the VtaU Com
mission The Edmunds Amendment *
Lincoln dispatch : The State Journal pub
lishes a long interview had with ex-Senator A.
S. Paddock , of Beatrice , touching potygarny
and the Mormon question. The senator is a
member of the Utah commission aud may bu
taken ns authority upon the subject. Asked
for his opinion as to the address to the presi
dent and the people of the United States by
the Mormons , in which they allege many
wrongs and demand their redress , and in
which the work of the commission is de
nounced , Mr. Paddock said in brief : "My be
lief is that the main object sought to be
accomplished by the address is a revival of re
ligious enthusiasm amoni ; the Mormon people ,
so ns to make apostacy or schism in the church-
on account of the proceedings against the
practice of polygamy more difficult , if not
altogether impossible. The Edmunds bill has
been enforced with so much vigor and suc
cess , the sentiment of the country is so unani
mous in support of the determined policy and
recent decisions of the supreme court
have been so pronounced iu favor of
the law and its methods for suppress
ing polygamy that many jrood and strong men
had besruu to think ami say tp each other that
it would be better to di&co'itinue the practice.
Several persons under indictment pleaded
iruilty. threw themselves on the mercy of the
court , promised not again to ofTend , and many
were released i\ith Slight punishment. All
such performances were bitterly denounced by
the Mormon press an 1 people. In my opinion
the mass meetings , the address which is main
ly a dofcnse of the pilygamie covenant and
the whole demonstration against the enforcement
"
ment of the Edmunds law"for that is all there
is of it , were gotten up to counteract the In
fluences at Aiorlc inside and outside the church
against polygamy. Being thus considered the
movement has been a great deal of a success.
The Mormon people certainly could not expect
to satisfv the president o the country by an
appeal biisul upon tin- divine reign and sanc
tion of polygamy that the Edmunds law is a
bad law , that the congress which passed the
act , the supreme court which allirmed it and
the oflicers who have executed it have all been
parties to a monstrous wrong , but by such ar
gument and denunciation of all who have been
connected with making or cxeeuting the law
thev have undoubtedly , temporalily at least ,
stiffened the weak kucts among the brethren
and increased the dilliculties' of the sit
uation. I believe the action will have
the contrary effect from that hoped
for by the Mormons or by some
of them , nnd will demonstrate the neces
sity for still more stringent legislation. Re
garding the denunciation of the commission
and its acts the senator sa'il that no set of of
ficers charged with the responsibility of en
forcing a law in Utah affecting the institution
of polyg.uny and determined to do their duty
were ever more conservative in all their net
or less influenced bv prejudice than the com
mission. Proofs of this arc abundant. The
commission have decided important questions
in accordance with the Mormon view , believ
ing the same to be right , thereby drawing
upon f icmsclves criticisms from the Gentile
pi cs * raid people. They have stood between
tin ; two extremes , and Have often been unable
to satisfy either , but have always endeavored
to secure the best results from "the Edmundj
law so far as they had. to do with it , and their
efforts have been successful throughout. The
commission has possessed the respect and cou-
[ ideuce of the liberal Mormons and the best
sentiment among the Gentile dement iu Utah ,
[ u the report the commission has recommended
in amendment to the Edmunds law , and it is
because these amendments are unpalatable ,
lud if adopted by congress would greatly
rreiigthen the movement against polygamy ,
that the Mormon indictment"airainst the com
mission is so strong. He thinks the amend
ments will be adopted and that President
Cleveland and his adiniuisttat'on lull tirmly
uphold the laws for the suppression of polyg-
imy in Utah.

Trouble in the Women's Department of the
World's Exjtosilion itt A'oii' Orleans.
New Orlenns dispach : The women's de
partment of the World's exposition here haa
from the beginning been the source and
scene of much heartburning and bickering
among the gentler sex , and in not a few cases
they have almost come to blows over their
feuds. A few days ago Mrs. Marion M cBride ,
3f Boston , who had in the early days of the
Bxposition been appointed chief of the press
bureau of the women's department by Mrs.
Julia Ward Howe , but who had never pre
sented herself for the discharge of the duties
of the position , appeared here and demanded
the ollice. Mrs. Howe , chief of the Women's
Scpartment , resisted the demand in the last
lays of the exposition , and appealed to the
board of management , who suhtaincd Mrs.
Howe und rejected the claims of Mrs. Mc-
Bridc. This was the end of the controversy ,
but another one has broken out on the heels
of it. Mrs. Augustus Wilson , woman coauiis-
sioner for the state of Knuas , vas duly ap
pointed and commissioned by Governor Click
who was then executive of the fitat-- , but is
so no longer , having served out his term. Mrs.
Wilson has been acting nil the time in charge
ol the women's department for Kansas , but
recently Mrs. Ilowo , chief of the women's de
partment , had some trouble with her and ex 1
cluded her fiom the-weeklv meeting of the
women commissioners. ! The Mnii. " Frank
Dacon. T.-nitotl States commissioner for Kan
sas , appealed to the exposition board of man
agement for settlement oC the cnse , and the
hoard declares Mre. Wilson entitled to repre
sentation in the women's department , nnd
sent a notification to Mrs. Howe to that ef
fect. To-day the meeting of the women com
missioners took place , when Mrs. Ilowo ex
cluded Mrs. Wilson from the meeting again in
lefi ince of the authority of the board of

Tito Adilreia Presented by tlia Mormons to
the President of the United tilntei.
Congressional Delegate John T. Calnc , ol
Utah ; John \V. Tnylor , son of the president
of the Mormon church , mid John Q. Cannon ,
on of the cx-coiiresalonal delegate , who com
pose the delegation sent by the Mormon
church to lay before the president a statement
of the grievances of the Monnons'antl present
the address recently adopted by the mass IH
meeting of Mormons against the action of
federal ofllcials , called by appointment at the
executive mansion and were received by the
president In the library. As the delegation
entered , the president was seated at his desk ,
but immediately arose , shook hands with V.
Cainc , and was then introduced to Cannon
and Taylor.
The following ia the address presented by
the Mormons to the president :
TIio Addrem.
Mr. President : The Latter Day Saint1' , jv -
femblcd in gencr.il conference , at Lo * . n
Utah , on the Oth day of April , ISSo , appointed
a committee to draft a specific statement of
the wrongs they have suffered and are still
suffering from the tyrannical conduct of the
Federal officials. The committee thus crea
ted submitted the result of its labors to the
Mormon people of Utah , gathered in mas
meetings in the several counties oC th.it ter
ritory on the 2d of May , 1835. The people of
their own free will unanimously and enthu
siastically ratified this declaration of griev
ances and protest , and the undersigned were
delegated to come here and formally deliver
the same to you. In the performance of this
duty we beg leave to assure ywi that the doc
ument voices the united expression of the
whole Mormon people. It Is not the mere dic
tum of the church authorities. The first
presidency of the church had nothing what
ever to do with the preparation or ratification
of this declaration ol the people's griev
ances and their protest to the wrongs inflicted
uj on them.
The people wanted to have formulated fhe
facts ol their faith which arc made the cause
of complaint against them , and also n state
ment of the nets of the men who have been
s-nt by the general government to rule over
them. This has been done and the people
have approved thereof and made it their act
and deed. In the exercibp of a right guaran
teed to them by the constitution o the Un
ited States , nearly two hundred thousand
citizens appeal to their fellow citizens for a
fair he ring , and petition \ on for n redress
of their grievances. The Mormon people have
been patient , forbearing and longsuffering.
They have not been , they are not , and they
wiU'not be dismal or law-defying. They have
within the law , steadfastly resisted what they
believed to be unjust enactments , but they
have not resisted and will not resist the judg
ment of the courts. They maintain that they
ought not to be made victims of special legis
lation enacted under the form of general
laws. The act of confess punishing "by fine
and imprisonment unlawful co-habitation is
unqucstionabty a general law , applying alike
to all inhabitants of the territory over which
the United States claim exclusive jurisdiction.
Itmpt have been intended to suppress vice
and immorality as well as to punish the Mor
mons who maintained marit.il relations with
their plural wives. But the prosecuting olli-
cers in Utah have declared that tliis law was
not made to be applied to non-Mormons and
the courts have held this to be the fair and
rightful interpretation of the unlawful co
habitation act.
They have moreover , held that the Mormons
who have maintained the offspring of. their
plural marriages and recognized as their
wives the women they espoused be. ore the
jiassaire of the Edmund's law were uniltv of
its violation , and upon this ruling men have
been coiidemed and sentenced , and arc now
tinderLromic punishment , although thy were
ready and offered 1 1 protu that they had not
cohabi > .rd with more than one woman. Very
rcirenth a man who confessed to having se
duced his wife s siste- , was arrested up .n the
charge of unlawful coliabitatn n but was upon
a habeas corpus prueucdm s r. 1 ated , and set
free bv the Ceii-f Justice of thu Territor3- , who
held that tlu- Edmund * law was not intended
to and i. id not apply to suth cases. It Is
probably needless te > add that the accused iu
this caw was not : i Mormon. Mormon people
do not ask that yon shall even wrest once tha
law tocnr autlioritv in order to do a great
right to them. They will endure vastly more
than the public conhciencc would expect of
any pee , le , but they insist , as they have un
doubted right to do" that the laws should bs
impartially administered ; that the men who
aaininister them shoul 1 be fair , upright , un
biased an-1 impartial ; that the Executive and
Administrative officers sent thither by the
Federal government should be honest , and
couiinu themselves to the performance of their I
le al duties , and not become the allies of aa
unscrupulous coterie whuse sole object is to
plunder the Mormons of t'.icir property and
tin. ir liberty. The Mormon people are charitable
and are not prompt to speak evil , ven of those
who ( ! es-itefully use arid j ersecnte them.
I he merciless crusade which has been waged
against them for many years tliuv believe to-
be directed at their rcliirion. Tiey know that
t'ae faith which they profess and j ractice is-
unpopular , but they know also that in this
respect they are but enduring that which has
been the common lot of the true believers in
ivery aie of the world.
They believe that it is as true as it was of
those of whom the Son of Man si.okimore -
than 1S00 years ago , "And ye shall be hate ; !
jf all men for My name's "sake , but he that
iiidureth to the end shall be saved. " Their
ibidimr faith in an Overrtilinir Providence
nakestlu in confident of triumphiu thecoure.
Flicy feel and know that their religion is of
3od" and that the wicked and ungodly will
itrive against it in vain.
AVe are not here , Mr. President , to ask fa-
rors at your hands. Tnose who 'sent us asker
or hut sim ) le justice. They do not ask 3-011.
: o stand between them and" the law , but ttiev
lo insist that ti e laws ought to be adininis"-
ered with equal exactness , re rerdless of race ,
ireiudicc or religious antipathies. Thev rcc-
) gnize the fact that it is your dutv to see that
be laws enacted by congress are faithfullv
: xecuted , but they maintain that a faithful
execution in this instance means perfect
! fUalit3 ) before the law of Mormons and noc-
Hormons. Therefore in their l.ehalf , we ask
, hat you will heartily respond and give heed
o their request lor a fair and impartial
nvestigation of the Utah question. This ia

to express the belief that a fair and candid

ot therefore , entertain a hope that you will
istitute such investigation , and thus open
ledoor to this question.
