A ltfysterlous Death.
About two weeks ago two horses
driven by a middle aged man , the
wagon containing a young woman ,
stopped at a farm house three or four
miles out from Stromsburg. The man
asked for permission to leave the
young woman at the house for a few
days as slie was not feeling very we1L
The farmers 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. Before he arrived she
had given birth to a child and had died.
She was so ill that the farmer's wife
was unalle 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. Taylor -
lor , county attorney of Howard county ,
that the infant child"of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Zimmons , living about two
miles northeast of St. Paul , was receiving -
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 returned -
turned to townaftergiving the parents
some very pointed advice and sent a
doctor to visit the baby , but on the
nest morning the child was dead. Public -
lic sentiment demanded an investiga-
tion. The coroner was called for , wheat
at once impaneled a jury and took tes-
timony. llie jury returned a verdict
finding that the infant came to its
death from want of proper food and
care and general neglect of its parents ,
No arrests have yet been made , butt
great indignation prevails.
A Peculhir Accident.
Kearney dispatch : A very peculiar
and painful accident happened to a
young man just south of the river in
Phelps county Saturday night lie was
out in the yard barefooted when a bolt
of lightning struck him on the right
side of the head , burning his hair as if
touched with a candle. The fluid then
passed down ) < iis neck , across his chest
and down hisleft 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
strip 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. lie is now on a
fair way to recovery , and aside from
the loss of the foot suffers no effects
from the shock. It is supposed that he
had his left foot on the ground at the
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 ° :39 ; ; , owned by B.
A. Deyarman , which occurred here re-
cently. The mare had been running
in the pasture of the Idle Wild stock
farm , a few miles west of O'Neill , and
the last time she was seen by her owner -
er was about two weeks ago. Sunday
Deyarian went out to his pasture to
bring the mare in , when thediscoveay
of the theft was made. Two years ago
the mare , which is a 6-year-old roan ,
standard bred IIambletonian , was campaigned -
paigned through the eastern Nebraska
circuit , where she made her record.
Her young colt , which was in the pasture -
ture with her , was not taken , and had
been adopted by a motherly old mare
that a colt about its age. Tlie mare
was valued at about $500.
Lincoln County Will Protest.
The 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 protest -
test will be filed immediately on receipt -
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 counties -
ties in the state were entitled to be
considered in the award under the
rules , one of these being Lincoln. Secretary -
retary Seeberger stated that the
awarding of.prizes was a farce. He accuses -
cuses the judges of partiality to non-
irrigated counties and states that the
Burlington railroad interest favored (
the non-irrigated territory.
Jail Delivery at l'lattstnontb.
A clever piece of jail-breaking was
performed at Plattsmouth by four prisoners - (
oners confined in the cage at the county
jail in that city whereby all made their
escape. Their exit was made by locating -
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 incheswrde. Through this
the nrisoners escaped. Two of the
prisoners were held on serious charges
A reward will be offered for their ap-
prehension.
A paper declares that "Mr. Johnson ,
a farmer of our village , on returning to
his house the other day , found in his
ground-floor bedroom , the door of
which had been left open , a cow , probably -
ably astray. The conjecture expressed
in the last two words may be set down
as , on the whole , a fair one.

lecturer , who invariably fell from grace i
immediately after each lecture , has at
last been declared insane by a Cleveland - f
land judge. He was Ills own horrible u

rorua by the DclaneyItes and Dalton
Followers--New TainmanyLead-
era Selected-Colonel George
] l. McClellan Succeeds
Ilourko Cockran.
NEW Yom ; , Sent. 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 precipitated -
cipitated by the report of the committee -
tee on credentials sustaining the sitting -
ting mnembers. John J. Delaney , who
headed the contesting delegation , said
that the Dalton men had been elected
by fraud and threatened that this faction -
tion would bolt in the Eleventh district -
trict on election day and destroy the
maxim that the fights of Tammany
were always settled in Tammany.
The resolution to continue the Dalton
faction in their scats was carried with
3 shout , however , and then Delaney
had his braves left the hall.
In the course of his speech Delaney
3harged that Dalton , who used to be
sir excise commissioner , had fattened
his organization by taking in men who
had been in state prison. lie namedta
number of thugs who had joined Dalton -
ton and pointed them out. It would
not be charged against him , Delaney
said , as it had been charged against
the state Democracy , that "he had not
made his fight within the organiza-
tion. " "Such methods as thesa 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
nanhood behind. " Delaney's follow-
, rs numbered 300.
Ex-Police Commissioner John C.
Sheehan was chosen as treasurer of
Tammany and ex-Congressman Amos
T. Cummings was made chairman of
the printing committee , supplanting
ex-Mayor Gilroy. Colonel George B.
McClellan was chosen to Bourke Cock-
an's old place.
TO STOP SUGAR CUTTING.
The Trust and Wholesale Dealers Comhlne
Against Department Store Sales.
CIIICAGo , Sept. 30.-The proprietors
of some of the large retail groceries
hnd department stores in this city
have unearthed what is sail. to be the
Strongest combination ever formed to
control the price of sugar. It is said
that the wholesale grocers have nearly
perfected an arrangement with the
sugar trust , by which retail grocers
and department stores will be cut oft.
Several of the retailers and department -
ment stores have already been notified
by the agents o- ° 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-
2ers arc to act simply as factors forr
the trust , forwarding to it within
thirty days after the receipt of goods
the amount of the invoice less 1 per
cent trade discount on 100 barrel lots
with the right to deduct 1 per cent additional -
ditional iftlie forwarding of cash is
made in sevendays , the dealers not to
be permitted to sell sugar either
1irectly or indirectly at less than the
rate book prices of'the trust. A commission -
mission of one eighth of one cent a
pound is to be allowed to the grocer
by the trust , and sixteenth of one
: ent 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. Armed In Trouble for
] nsulting General Schofield.
WASIHNGTON , Sept. 30. - Captain
George A. Armes , retired , better
known as Mayor Armes , was arrested
at his home , Armesleigh 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. " General -
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'n an
insulting letter.
Major Armes was court martialcd
for pulling the nose of Governor Beaver -
ver of Pennsylvania at the inauguration -
tion of President Garfield.
General Schofield said today that ho
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 personal -
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 wardepartment that
Major Armes will remain in confinement -
ment until his case is disposed of by
Secretary Lament unless his release is
ordered by the civil courts on a writ
of habeas corpus. Any process of the
civil courts in this case will be immediately -
diately respected.

Irish Liberty Proposed.
CtIICAGO , Sept. iii.-When the Irish
delegates assembled for' their second
day's work , little time was lost in preliminaries -
liminaries and the election of permanent -
nent officers was put through at a
rapid pace , the following being unanimously -
imously chosen : J. F. Finnerty , chairman -
man ; J. 1' . 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 IIolyoce 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 few
of the delegates because Dr. Paul M.
Sheedy and John Madden front the
Ancient Order of llibernians and a
convention of the Irish-American citizens -
zens of Allegheny , county , I'a. , were
refused seats. An amendment seating
the two was offered , and trouble was
threatened for a time , but the coni-
mittee was sustained by a liberal majority -
jority and the matter was dropped ,
the claim being that the credentials
were not sufficient.
Considerable enthusiasm was created
by a motigit to add O'Donovan Rossa
to the list of vice Presidents , but
Rossa delined.
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. lie outlined a plan by which
young Irish-americans throughon time
country should be organized into mit- }
itary companies which would as a
whole constitute a standing army that
might at a proper time strike for
Irish liberty.
PENSION LIST GROWING.
Over a Thousand More Nunes Added
Than Have Iicen Dropped.
WASIIINGTGN , Sept. 266.-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 time yearly
appropriation for pensions , but that
for two or three years the payments
would remain about time same. 1 t was
his opinion that there would be a
slight reduction in the number of peum-
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 inony 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 1.00(1 (
names in excess of those that have
dropped out , as there has been an increase -
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 yearr has not been fatal -
tal to pensioners , time cleatli rate being
less than would be anticipated at the
time of life at which the veterans of
the late war have arrived.
RUSSIA'S ENCROACHMENT

terested in the scheme , which has
been secretly canvassed. The charter

is regarded as another indication of
Russia's determination to wrest the
commercial as well as the political [
suprenmey in the far East from [
England.

movement is very like the old one , (
