Mitcbel was elect ed United States senator on the third ballot. St. John's vote last year in Ne braska was 2,899. The forty coun ties so far reported, give the prohibi tion ticket 4,583. Miss Cleveland, it is claimed, will devote the income arising from the ale of her book to the endowment of chairs in educational institutions. . At Pontiac, Mich., the other morn ing a Detroit and Milwaukee train ran over and instantly killed Wm. Sanbrook and wife. The bodies were frightfully mangled. Patebs have been received by the clerk of the house of representatives at Washington City giving notice of the contest of Campbell against Weaver of the Fifth Iowa district. A riBE at Hebron, Neb., the other morning burned twenty frame houses. The postoffice and Journal building were destroyed. Loss, $15,000. The letter mail and postoffice records were saved. The New Republic publishes the names of petitioners for a saloon keeper under the head "Petition for Murder Mill." In an adjoining col umn, the Republic rejoices over the accession of democrats to the pro hibition ranks. Eugene Mack, of Beatrice, Neb., was shot in the head the other night and dangerously wounded by a woman of bad character. He and some other men were making a dis turbance at her house at the time the hooting took place. Nebraska has been allowed $21, 765.90 for claims for money expended in suppressing Indian hostilities at the time Nebraska was a territory. Judge Hawes has been prosecuting this claim before the war department and is very much pleased at his final success. Gen. W. S. Hancock in company with other distinguished military men visited the battlefield at Gettys burg on the 19th. Gen. Hancock gave particular attention to the posi tions of the left center, where he commanded, identifying every point of interest The republican district leader in New York City generally discussed the other night of the county com mittee in appointing a committeo to investigate the charges made against certain republicans in having sold out some candidates on the county ticket at the late election. The Irish-American Union, at a meeting the other night at New York, passed resolutions denouncing the execution of Riel as judicial mur der, and urging the French-Canadians to bring their province into the Union and enter within the pale of American citizenship. c A A report from Denver, Col., last week elates that three hundred cattle men, delegates to the National Cattle growers convention, assembled at Denver from Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and California, and left Friday for St. Louis in a special train of eight sleepers. The Supremo Court having review ed the caBe and refused to reverse the finding, Mackin will be 6ent within a short timo to the penitentiary at Joliet to 6ervc out the sentence of five years, pronounced by Judge Moran, for perjury committed in the election frauds at Chicago. A dispatch to the Omaha Repub lican states that the five-year-old child of J. R. NelBon, lost somo dayB ago, was found dead one and one-half miles from home, having apparently perished the first night out, having traveled from twelve to fourteen miles, an indicated by the tracks. Senator Manderson was enter tained the other day by citizens of Huron, D. T., and presented with an engrossed copy of complimentary resolutions. The Senator believes that Dakota should be divided and admitted as staffs; ho claims that Montanais hardly ready to become a state. Tom Boyd, a young man of Omaha, was arrested the other day on a com plaint charging him with an assault with intent to commit murder, which occurred on a ranch near Deer Trail, a small station on the Union Pacifio about sixty miles this side of Denver, and taken back by the officer to Colorado. The sixth annual convention of the Young Men's Christian Association of Nebraska convened on the 19th inst. at Hastings. A grand reception was tendered the visiting delegates to-night. Three hundred delegates and citizens participated. A new $5,000 temple of the local association of that city will be dedicated to morrow. The Opera House at Lincoln on the evening of the 19th was crowded, the occasion being the meeting of Irish men called by John Fitzgerald, vice president for Nebraska for the Irish National Leagno. J. Sterling Morton, John Fitzgerald and others made speeches. Twenty-three hundred dollars. was- raised for the benefit of theParnell fund. Ex-Senator William Sharon died peacefully at hiB home in San Fran- .ciaco or the 13th inst., at 3:30 p.m. He was sixty-four years of age, being bora at Stenbenville, Ohio, Jan. 9, 1821, and was a graduate of Athens College. He was first a clerk in a dry goods 6tore at Akron, O., and afterwards became the owner of it, ad step by step 'he went np from this position until his estate is aow at $12,000,000. . Several investigations were re cently made by the Beatrice Express and other parties Jn regard to the so called hog cholera in Nebraska, .par ticularly in that locality; A man by the name of Wm. Wagaer, living ia that vicinity, and who had lostaboat 400 head the past season, made the investigation by a shoat two months old that was ailing. Taking but the stomach and liver he found the parts alive with worms, some measuring five inches in- length. These worms originate in the small intestines, whence they go to the stomach, and afterwards'to the. liver. The worms eat the sugar and 'glucose contained in the corn, poison tha blood and cause a fever to set in. The first parts to be affected aro the lungs, and the first symptom of the disease is a cough. Bobert Wilson, of Blue Springs has made similar investiga tions and concurs fully in opinion with Mr. Wagner that Nebraska hogs do not know what hog cholera is and never did. We should think that turpentine would kill the worms and castor oil would remove them from the system. Matt Thompson, a Scandinavian farmer who resided about three miles from Wisner, Neb., was rnn over and killed by a train Friday night and his body ground to pieces by car wheels, as for'a distance of six or eight rods the railroad track was in spots smear ed with the blood and brains, and pieces of flesh, bones and clothing were scattered along, bearing evi dence that a human life had been crushed out by the wheels of the cars. He had been a resident of Cuming county for eighteen years, had accu mulated considerable property, and was hignly respected by all who knew him. At the time of the report of his death it was not known how the accident occurred, but it is known that he left Wisner in the evening to go home, and traveled on the railroad track which runs through his farm. The very latest sensation in Omaha was the shocking news Saturday that John W. Lauor had shot and killed his beautiful young wife, formerly Miss Sallie GoetBcbis. He declares the shooting was accidental, that he awakened suddenly in the night, and hearing a noise in his room, and mis taking his wife (who was standing a short distance from the bed for a burglar), fired with the horrible re sult. There are circumstances at tending the affair that show at least a criminal carelessness, if nothing more, in the use of deadly pistols. The fact that he ill-treated his wife while liv ing is calculated to excite public opinion against him. The case will be legally investigated, as the coro ner's jury recommended that he be held for a criminal offence. Louis Riel, the daring leader. of the oppressed French Canadians, was executed at Regina, N. W. T., Nov. 16tb, '85, and died like a brave man. Pere Andre and Father McWilliams appeared with Riel iu the opening which led to the scaffold where mass was celebrated. Riel was on his bended knee, wearing a loose woolen snrtout, gray trousers and woolen shirt. On his feet were moccasins, the only feature of his dress that par took of the Indian. His last words were 'Mcrcy, Jesus." He died with out a Btruggle. Father McWilliams declares he never witnessed a more resigned feeling than was shown in tho case of Riel during his last hours. The Nebraska Telephone Company operates under a license from the American Bell company, and the American Bell company has a com pact with the Western Union which forbids it from leasing telephones to rival lines. Such an agreement is in violation of our state laws. The Nebraska company has notified tho parent telephone monopoly of this fact and asks permission to extend its service to the new Pacific Telegraph. It is safe to say that it will be grant ed. Regulation very frequently reg ulates, in spite of the fervid denials of the men who are paid by the cor porations to deny this truth in doublo leaded editorials. Omaha Bee. Judge Mitcuel overruled the mo tion for a new trial in the case of A. L. Pound, and the prisoner was sen tenced to two years in the peniten tiary. Pound was indicted for killing a man while in the act of robbing tho State treasury, found guilty of man slaughter, and sentenced' as aforesaid. Thereupon, and upon application to Gov. Dawes to enable Pound to ob tain time in which to publish a .notice for application for pardon the Gover nor reprieved him for the period of twenty days, or until the 3d of De cember, '85. This is believed to' end the case, as the Governor will at the end of the reprieve grant a full pardon. Recent news received at London states that the British force in Bnr- mah have carried the forts in -the vicinity of Minhla and captured the town after three hours firing from the floating batteries, armed launches and heavy guns on board the steamers. The British lost four men killed and twenty-seven wonnded. Minhla was the most strongly fortified position on the river, and by its capture the way is cleared for the British advance to Mandalay. as the forts at Ava, twelve miles from the Burmese capi tal, are only slight structures in com parison with thoseof Minhla. Gelardo, Azzaro and Sylvester, the three Italian murderers, were hanged last week at Chicago for the icuraer ot their fellow countryman Filippo Caruso. At the appointed time the trap swung and three'fignres snot downward. The necks of Syl vester and Gilardo were broken, but the noose slipped round under Azzaro 's chin and he slowly strangled la horrible convulsions. Ia seven minutes his palse ceased to beat aad tha execBtiaa was completed. 'Watson B. Smith, Clerk of the United States district court, for the district of Nebraska, was mardered in the hall of his office at' Omaha, Neb., and found oa the morning of Nov. 5tb, 1881, tho cause of bis death being a terrible wound over his left teaapte, inficted by some unknowa assassin, either with a shot' from a revolver or a blow from some heavy Instrument. This dastardly murder has slumbered since the year 8l until last week, when it transpired that John Pierson, a penitentiary convict, confesses himself the principal in the horrible deed. ' Pferson claims tor have committed the deed for $300, and names Jack Nugent as the man who paid the money. The case is now undergoing an investigation before the grand jury of the U. S. district court. Next to John Wesley the most famous Methodist, to the minds of the Marylanders, was Joshua Thomas a character as picturesque as any known in the church annals of America. Though he led a simple life, his was the spirit that walked upon tne waters or ine i;nesapeaKe. In his day fleets of sailboats from tho Tred Avon to southernmost limits of Tangier turned their bows toward church as regularly as Sunday came. It was "Father Thomas'' who preach ed to the redcoats on, the way to Bal timore, and who warned them .that God would fight in the battle of North Point. More than seventy years have passed since that sermon, yet "The Methodist," the famous canoe of the famous "parson of the islands" is still afloat in Tangier Sound. It is a relic that the Islan ders prize as highly as the parson's bible itself. JSx. There are a. number of historical clocks in the White House. One of them was once the property of Napo leon, and by him presented to Gen eral Lafayette, who in turn presented it to President George' Washington. It still keeps perfect time. It is of alabaster and French gilt bronze. It runs for thirty days at one winding. In the Red Room President Lincoln's clock of ebony and gold still strikes the quarters, halves and hours with wonderful precision. The only American made clock in the White HouBe was manufactured in New York. It IB kept in the Green Room, and was purchased when James Monroe was President. The Historical Society of Pennsyl vania will celebrate, next month, the two hundredth anniversary of the in troduction of printing into the mid dle colonies of America. Appro priately enough, the. ceremonies will take place in Philadelphia, where many of the most important events in connection with typography have occurred. It is said that printers in Philadelphia produced the first Amer ican magazine, the first American edition of the Bible, and the first American daily newspaper. Doubt less there will be a tendency to recall some of the achievements of Benja min Franklin in the printing line. Justice Miller of the United States supreme court arrived at a de cision the other day in the Brighton ranch .case. The Company have sur rounded 52,000 acres of land in Custer county with fifty-seven miles of wire fences. The Jndge is of the opinion that the United States is entitled to its injunction mandatory as to so much of the fence complained of or as exists, and prohibited as to building any future fences. There exists no right in the defendant to build any fence on the lands of the United States. A report comes from Constantino ple that another contract has been made with the Austrian Lloyds for the transportation of thirty more bat tallions of troops from Asia Minor to European Turkey, believing that the final strnggle of the Turkish empires existence is approaching. Lord Salis bury has telegraphed to White, Brit ish representative at Constantinople, instructions to secure the portc that England will do her utmost to pre serve the integrity of Turkey. A Helena (Mont.) special to the Pioneer Press says : James Dempsey reached this City the other day from Fort McGinnis and tells a pitiable story of his two companions Jno. Hoag'and Jacob Scheller, being de voured by wolves while on their way across the mountains. Dempsey says he climoea a tree ana saw his com panion torn to pieces and devoured. Hoag was a resident of Cleveland, O., and Scholler of Lafayette, Ind. At St. Petersburg the Russian newspapers, both official and unoffi cial, unite in condemning the Servo Bulgarian war, and declare that Rus sia will be unable to sit quietly while Bulgaria and Servia tear each other to pieces. The Journal de St. Peters burg hints that England, by delaying the meeting of the Balkan conference, is responsible for the outbreak of war between Servia and Bulgaria. A report comes from Santa Cruz, Cal., that the Chinese engaged as laundrvmen and wood cutlers at Lorenzo had been given twenty-four hours notice to leave and were already packing up, preparatory to quitting that part of the country. No violence was used and the Chinamen agreed to go without-further protest. Fred. C. Collenbebg, the night mailing olerk at the Denver, Col., post-office,. was suspected for having something to do with the loss of val uable letters; a plan to catch him resulted in his arrest the other night. He was an appointee of the new post master. Health officers were repulsed .twice the other day at Montreal by the inmates while attempting to re move small-pox patients from the house of one Danpierre. A crowd gathered aad pelted the officers with rotten apples, eggs aad etoaee. The War. A DESPERATE FIGHT. Belgrade, Nov. 16. After des perate flghtiug yesterday tho Ser vians occupied positions at Raptlcha. The loBses on Doth sides were heavy. This victory enabled the Servians to tarn the very difficult aad rockr gorge or Dragoman pass, ana tne Bulgarians, after a gallant resistance retreated to Leivnitza, where nn im portant engagement is expected to take place today which will decide the fate of Sofia. The direct route to Sofia- passes through. Tsaribrod aud Dragoman, bat another runs by the way of Trn, and through both the defiles of Tsaribrod and. Dragoman, reaching Sofia by the way of Bresnlk. It is probably on the latter road that the fight of yesterday took place. RESULTS OF THE BATTLE. Belgrade, Nov. 16. Djuknitcb, commanding the Timok division, drove tho Bulgarians from their en trenchments at Kiela and captured fifteen prisoners. The total Servian loss is two officers and fifty men killed and two hundred wounded. The official report from Col- Benecky says that after a brilliant charge the Servians carried four Bulgarian re doubts beyond Tsaribrod. Col. Djuknitch with the Timok division has taken Kiela.. The Servian troops continue advancing every where; and have captured -400 prisoners, with a loss of 200 wonnded and fifty killed. A great battle is now being fought in the direction of Gerazoman. AGAIN VICTORIOUS. Belgrade, Nov. 17. General Tap otavitch with the Marine division had a desperate battle with the Bulgar ians at Tein, and the latter were totally defeated. The Servians fought with great gallantry and cap tured two guns and many prisoners. Three battalions of Bulgarians sur rendered. The batallion of Bulgar ian volunteers) stationed at a point on the Timok river, capitulated without firing a gun to Colonel Djuknitch commanding the Timok division. The Bulgarians yesterday evacuated their fortified position at Dragoman which the Servians attacked Sunday. De'tails of the capture of Dragoman pass by the Servians show that the Krena and Sbumadga divisions uuder Colonels Michkovitch and Benecky were engaged, and attacked the Bul garians iu force completely routing them. Hordes of Bulgarians laid down their arms, being panic stricken. Several guns were captured and the pass abandoned. ANOTHER BATTLE. Belgrade, Nov. 17. The Servian division marching on Widden, gave battle to the Bulgarians near Widden and iuflicted upon them a crushing defeat. The loss is heavy on both sides. The Servians captured 1,000 prisoners. NEW HEADQUARTERS. Belgrade. Nov. 17. The head quarters of the Servian army have been fixed at Tsaribrod. OMclal ComptlM. New York, Nov. 16. The senate investigating committee which has been throwing out its drag-net here for several weeks has done a great deal of good in bringing to light a lot of aboses which have grown up under democratic administration of county offices. They have summoned every one who they thought had any knowledge of abuses, and tho news papers have reported their proceed ings so thoroughly that already work has been found for the grand jury. They havo exposed some frauds that have been committed iu the purcha60 of armory sites,- and the trial of Mon mouth B. Wilson will begin in the court of general sessions to-morrow upon the charge of receiving money for influencing the choice of an armory site, the fact being that he was made the go-between and as an agent received a commission of over $10,000 for selling a certain plot of ground to tha city, the money being paid for bis alleged influence with a member of the board. The board of excise has been kept in very hot water, proof being furnished that fees had been paid for eeenring licenses for sporting and disorderly houses, and that licenses had been granted places which were notorious resorts for disorderly characters. The con sequences of this action on their part is found in the breaking out of the spasm of virtue which resulted in re fusing a license to the Metropolitan hotel becauso it had a connection with Niblo'e garden through the lobby, and ordering to be closed every door leading from a theater lobby to a hotel. As these doors have counted as exits to the theatres in case of fire, the Are commissioners have promptly ordered them opened, and a pretty conflict of authority is inevitable. denaaay am Uarie Saan New York, Nov. 18. A Washing ton special says: The president has called on the state department for a full statement of our relations with Germany and Austria in regard to the treatment of oaturalized citizens of the United States in those coon tries. It Is understood, says the' dis patch, that the president is determin ed that the United States shall remain no longer inactive upon this question. In the event of Germany ignoring our proteels, it is believed a severance of all diplomatic relations with these countries would rapidly bring about a crisis. It is not thought probable that the president will mention the trouble in bis message, but he will make powerful suggestions about the need of a new navy and the alarming condition of our coast "defenses. In conclusion the special says : "In case matters do not mend before tho ad journment of congress, the president will make it the snbject of a special message, urging upon the legislative branch of the government the abso lute necessity of furnishing inch manner of offense and defense that in case the worst comes this country should not be caught napping. It is not to be expected that the president will put the matter as bluntly as this, but he will mean the same." Craelsy f the Chicago, Not. 18. Today, daring the progress of an investigation of the county insane asylum, which is being conducted here, Dr. Eiernan testified tbat when he- teok charge of the asy lum a year ago ba foaad patiaata tied with toie- and in straight jackets.
