M .0 J 4hfcs$tMnMl, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1887. lKwtl t Ot rsttolei, ColmtM.rt.. u ten mittii. Ax earthquake shock was felt on Long Iiland the other day. Burns Blodoitt has been elected United States Senator from New Jersey. The appointment of Benedict to be public printer has been confirmed by the Senate. Falls Citt desires and will try to obtain a daily train from and to Omaha. Samom. F. Birtch has been ap pointed register of the land office at Valentine, Neb. E. F. Hudson, of Nebraska, has been appointed receiver of public moneys at Lincoln, Neb. Samuel 6. Glover, of Arlington, Neb., has been appointed receiver of public moneys at Valentine, Neb. A sill to abolish stoves from pas senger cars was introduced the other day in the New York legislature. The Board of Trade at Sutton, Neb., has decided to offer a bouua to manufacturers who would locate at that point. The river bank suddenly and un expectedly caved in at Leota, MiBa., carrying with it a warehouse and several other buildings. A resident of a remote part of Oregon sent in the other day 7,000 rabbits scalps, upon which a bounty of five cents each was paid by the county. The chairman of the revenue com mission of Illinois proposes to levy a tax on the gross receipts of railroad companies, instead of on tbe road bed and stock. The bill for the redemption of trade dollar and the anti-polygamy bill have become laws without the President's signature, the ten days having expired in which he should have signed and returned them. There was great rejoicing in Glou cester, Mass., on the third among fishermen over the passage of the Edmunds' bill. At noon all the bells were rung, colors hoisted and guns fired. The nomination of James M. Trotter (colored) to be recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia was reported adversely to the Senate. -A resident of the District of Colum bia is demanded. Near Ess ton, Fa., a deplorable ac cident occurred. Six boys were out hunting muskrats and in a blinding snow storm returning home were run into by a passenger train and all killed, and mangled in a horrible manner. Is it possible that the Omaha Republican is m-a-d? One would think so to read this which it says of Rosewater, editor of tbe Bee: "He is simply a materialized infamy, a moral idiot, a permitted and con tinuous crime." Abuse will not build Up a newspaper business. The President approved a number of bills on tbe 3d, among others the act to authorize tbe President of the United States to protect and defend tbe rights of American fishing ves sels, American fishermen, training and other vessels in the British do minion of North America. It is stated at tbe White House that there is no probability of a special session being called by the President for tbe purpose of acting on nominations or for any other purpose. The Interstate commerce commission and the successor of Manning will probably be appointed next week, or the week following. Harry Gitinn, a timber cutter, started for his cabin, thirty mileB from Leadville, Col., to FriBCO to get provisions. When he reached the railroad track a train was approach ing which he attempted to board. A moment later the train men heard a shriek and stopping the train found tbe mangled body of Gninn beneath tbe wheels. Tbe dead body was literally cut to pieces. A new counterfeit dollar has ap peared simultaneously in several cities, and it is said to be the best yet made. They look right, and are correct weight, bnt they are too large failing to pass through the treasury gague. They are coated with pure silver thick enough to re sist acid. A dangerous five dollar piece has also appeared. It ia light weight, but coated with thirty-five cents worth of gold to resist acid. At the signal office at Washington is an instrument called the scismo cope, which, though of delicate construction, can only be opened by aa earthquake. The other day when Italy was shaken up and the news was flashed across the Atlantic, the cismocope at Washington was at tentively watched. Six hours later ft dnly recorded tbe event, thus ahowfag that the earth tremor travel ed at the rate of about 500 miles aa hour. A -joint convention of the two houses was held at Lincoln, the ob ject being to correct tbe records and recaavass the vote on the legislative asaeadment The speaker of the house read tbe abstract of votes and aaaoaaced the total vote cast to be 138,423; for the amendment, 72, 497; against the amendment, 22,135. Ho then declared that the amendment bad bean carried by a constitutional asajority. The results of the canvass were immediately delivered to Gov. Thayer who baa issued a proclamation declaring tbe amendment carried and authorising the holding of a sixty ij setsioa. Heary Wsu4 Beecher. The greatest preacher of onr times, and one who had a marvelous in fluence over his fellow men, was stricken with apoplexy laBt Friday morning, and has been pronounced incurable, and liable to die at any moment. We may not expeqt to see another Beecber, for nature never repeats herself in this sense. Each individual is different from every other, and that combination of physical, intellectual and moral forceB which men have known as Henry Ward Beecher, has ceased, as a visible existence. It is too early for a review of this wonderful man's wonderful career. The sudden close of au eventful life prolonged to ripe years'is probably due to extra effort and added work during the last few months, a strain too great for his strength. Peace to his memory. The Old Veil Be-ecltoed. A recent number of the Chicago Times shows that that sheet, con sistent with its record during tbe rebellion in sympathising with traitors and abetting treason, is now opposing just measures in :avor of those who were Union soldiers, and helped to save tbe country. It Is enough to make patriotic blood boil, or the spiritn of the dead noldiers return to their old haunts to read these lines : "There is in tbe nature of the vol unteer hero something that inclines him to the profession of mendicancy, and it will be a happy day for this republic when the Iaet beggar of the Grand Army humbug is securely planted." The Grand Army which saved the government against the machinations of creatures such as the writer of the above could have been dnring tbe war, will be remembered as heroes, while such as he will be execrated along side of Benedict Arnold and Aaron Burr. It strikes me very forcibly, said a citizen the other day, that there is something radically wrong about the "innocent purchaser" business in re gard to promissory notes. The laws ought to be arranged something after the fashion of the land laws so that tbe purchaser would be put on his guard when he buys note6. Notes should not be negotiable unless filed by a proper officer and acknowledged to be gonnine for a lawful con sideration, or, better yet, tbe maker of the note should have tbe same defence against any purchaser of the same that he would be entitled to as against the first man who obtained his note ; this would put a quick end to the taking of fraudulent notes. For my part, continued the citizen, I don't see why tbe "innocent pur chaser," eo-called, should be shielded at tbe expense of the "innocent giver" of the note, the first "innocent" is certainly, as a rule, more entitled to tbe protection of law. Let us begin to get rid of the old cobwebs of law made to favor those who are abundantly able to take care of them selves. Because a rule of law has obtained for generations, is no reason why we may not question its fair ness, and get rid of it, if it is op pressive. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was stricken down Friday morning last by a stroke of apoplexy and at the time of this report was lying un conscious. While hoping that the attack may not prove fatal, grave fears are entertained by his intimate friends and members of his family that bis labors as a pastor in this world have ended. Beecher resides with bis son, Col. Henry Beecher, at tbe corner of Hicks and Clark streets in Brooklyn, New York. A son who is in the west, another in San Fran cisco, and Mrs. Schofield, his daugh ter, have been telegraphed for. W. C. Beecher, with his wife and Mrs. Beecher, spent all day Saturday at the bedside of the great clergyman. They were completely overcome with grief at bis condition. There was no change in Mr. Beecher's con dition at 3 o'clock a. m. A Sensation was produced in Omaha the other day by tbe report that tbe Union Pacific railroad com pany had issued an order making a sweeping reduction in their expenses and changing matters wonderfully. There appears to be some truth in re gard to the issuing of the order to re. duce expenses, but it did not have the sweeping force among tbe clerks as at first reported. It appears to be aimed at the construction department that operations take a tumble, and altboogb reluctantly, commanded last week, that with tbe exception of con tracts already awarded, (urther con struction be entirely shut off, and tbe engineering cor ps that were in the field, have been called in and will not be sent out again. This means also, that there will be no more ex tensive purchases of supplies. A report comes from Geneva,Neb1 of a mjeting being held the other night. Mr. Reagan, the attorney for tbe Kansas City & Omaha, and J. Jensen and E. M. Billings of Geneva were present and addressed the meeting, after which there were speeches by residents. A vote was taken and every resident voted in favor of giving aid to the Northwest ern and Kansas City & Omaha rail roads. The railroads offer to not take the proposed bonds and to give as much money as they ask of bonds if the people will remit their taxes for twenty years. Tbe Norfolk Journal says it would be cowardly and disgraceful for the republicans of the legislature not to" submit tbe question of pro hibition to a vote of tbe people, and give other parties a leverage against the republicans, because in their last state platform they pledged thttn- I selves to subssission. The Hebrew religious journals of I London, Berlin. Paris and other! great cities, as well as the secular newspapers, have recently contained accounts of a very interesting philan thropic movement which ia approved by statesmen, although its object is not political. It is for tbe return of tbe Jews to Spain, from which they were banished four centuries ago. This movement has the approval of the Spanish government and has been eloquently advocated by Castelar himself in the Cortes. Mr. Guedella, of London, and the Rothchilds look upon it with favor; it's taking.prac tical shape is due chiefly to such eminent editors, financiers and law yers as Senors Lobez Laperza, Julio Jodas, Gonzalo Repares and several other influential public men in Spain. "McDaughlin's Hot Water, Hot Air and Steam Hotel and Car Heat er," is tbe title of an Omaha inven tion which will surely bring a for tune to McLaughlin, its originator. A very satisfactory test of this heater has been made in Omaha, which showed that tbe temperature of an ordinary railway car can in less than ten minutes be changed from 10 below to 100 above zero. And this, too, without danger of explosion or fire, or anything imperiling the safety of the car or its human freight. The eastbound Atlantic & Pacific passenger train run into a bridge west of Needles, Cal. Tbe engine, bag gage, mail and express cars were burned. E. L. Gilbert, brakeman, was burned to death, also two Indians and one tramp. Engineer E. J. Eodgdon is not expected to live. Dr. M. J. Chase, of Galesbueg, III., was bruised about tbe head. W. March, Quincy, 111., leg hurt. The coroner's jury has returned a verdict exonerating the Atlantic & Pacific company from all blame. The first synod of Catholic minis ters ever held in this diocese conven ed at Omaha March 1st. Delegates were present from all parts of Ne braska, Wyoming, Dakota and Colo rado, to the number of about a hun dred. Bishop O'Conner presided. The time of the synod was de voted almost eutirely to the consid eration of small matters connected with the church-work, and hearing reports of the condition of churches throughout the diocese. The Irish National League of America, met in convention in Lin coln on the 3d and organized a state league. Two hundred Irishmen were present. Patrick Egan was elected chairman of the meeting and made a very happy speech, after which the temporary organization was perfected. The 4th being the anniversary of the birth of Robert Emmett, tbe proceedings were in the nature of memorial services. The Senate at Lincoln the other day came very.nearly occupying the entire afternoon in discussing whether they should re-consider the Soldiers' Home bill. Wymore and Milford have both offered $5,000 and 640 acres of land for tbe location of tbe institution; consequently there is a growing opposition to tbe loca tion at Grand Island, Alice Parker, a young girl, while attempting to start the kitchen fire by tbe use of oil, at Wilcox, Neb., the other day, was terribly burned about hof face and head by the ig niting from a live coal in the stove of tbe gas which bad accumulated there on the previous evening. A company of Kansas City capital ists ex-Gov. Thomaa T. Crittenden and others, have filed articles of in corporation tor the immediate con struction of a cable-line, street-car system in Omaha. Tbe route named touches twenty-six streets and traverses about eight miles. Hewn UTote. New York city had tbe other day a $100,000 fire. Robins and jay birds, have made their appearance at Ainsworth. It is said that Queen Victoria owns property in the District of Columbia. An epizootic epidemic is laying low the children of Cuming county. Japan has fifty one active volca noes, which accounts for her numer ous hot springs. Joseph W. Bingham, of the In dianapolis Sentinel, committed sui cide the other day. Charles J. Peterson, of Peter son's Ladies Magazine, died at Phil adelphia the other day. Farm land in Brown county, this state, is being transferred at a rapid rate to Iowa farmers. Coal has been discovered on a farm near West Point at a depth of ninety feet. So they say. The aggregate of the appropriation bills passed by the Forty-ninth Con gress is about $250,000,000. A telegram from Shanghai to Paris says that China has ceded to Germany the Chusan Islands. All the inmates of the St. Joseph convent, at St Louis, were poisoned the other day by eating canned fruit. The mill of the Wilmington Jute Company, Delaware, was destroyed by ire the other night. Loss, $75, 000. "Word comes from Rome that tremors still continue to be felt in the Italian riyeria, but no additional damage done. The President ha nominated James M. Trotter (colored), of Mass., to be recorder of deeds for the Dis trict of Columbia. Three buataess blocks, including the Republican and Observer offices at Richland Center, Wis., burned the other day. Lots $40,000. War rumors from London state that Parliament has been asked to grant a quarter of a million pounds for the expense of the navy. Saturday week a Chinese laun dryman, Chin Cban, died at Denver from leprosy. His death created a good deal of excitement in the city. The Governor of West Virginia has appointed D. H. Lucas, of Jef ferson coonty, U. S. Senator. Lucas is a democrat and has accepted the office. Kfn'nedy's clothing store, Kellog's building, Steel's bank and several other structures were burned the other morning in Cherokee, la. Los, $50,000.

Burglars blew open tbe safe in the bank at La Grange, Mo., the other night and secured all valuables, amounting to $21,000, moBtly in bonds and notes. The robbers es caped, leaving no c'ue. Martin Tighe, a somewhat prom inent citizen of Valparaiso, Neb., fell under a moving train the other morn ing and sustained severe injuries on tbe head and breast, but it is thought they will not prove fatal. The other morning the roof of the charging department in the Basse mere steel works of the Cleveland, O., rolling mill company fell in and killed one man and injured eight others. Word comes from Boston, Mass., that Gen. B. F. Butler's injuries are much more serious than at first sup posed. His doctor says his shoulder is badly dislocated. He will not be able to leave his bed for several weeks. Rufus Blodget, new senator from New Jersey, is identified with the interests of several railroad compa nies and has always been recognized as a staunch democrat. He is super intendent of tbe New York and Long Branch R. R.

It is stated at Vienna that the terms of tbe renewed treaty between Austria, Italy and Germany, Italy agreeB to place 200,000 troops at the disposal of Austria in event of war with Russia, and to place the same number at the disposal of Germany in tbe event of war with France. Last week heavy snow and wind storms were reported to be of mam moth proportions and terrific in tensity in certain parts of Michigan. In places, tbe heavy gale blew the snow about, making drifts from five to ten feet deep and effectually stop ping all traffic at Detroit, Mich. Judge D. G.

A report comes from Tecumseb, Neb., of tbe sad news of the death of County Commissioner Joseph Whit am's wife, who died at her home in Spring Creek precinct March 3d, at S o'clock.

Nel son id generally regarded as a socialist. Au entire city ticket was nominated by the couventiou. WmshlBfftea letter. (F rem our regular correspondent.) Congressmen never want an extra session, but tbe people of Washing ton always do. It is to their interest for Cougress Co hold on as long as possible, and they would like for its session to be perennial. The House id now working night and day to get through. Hon. Mr. Butter worth of Ohio says the House is very censur able for I's delay :f this work. He is a member of the powerful appro priation committee of the House, but he "m a rcjjiiMicnu member, and of course in tin minority ou a Vote. He was RpeHkiiii? ot the unfairness on the purl ot the House in not giv iug the Senate time to carefully con eider these bills, but said he "The only question involved is that of amount, it is not as it there was any legislation connected with them . While the matter of appropriations and confirmation ia not in itself sufficient to briug about an extra session of the Senate, it contributes to the influences which may produce a called session. Opinions respect ing the President's power to appoint the Interstate Commerce Commis sioners during a recess of the Senate are widely apart. Tbe President thinks he has tbe right to do so and Senator Sherman agrees with bim, as does also the Attorney General, who has rendered au opinion and cited Attorneys General Stanberry, Evarte, Williams, and Davens as precedents. Bot Messrs. Edmunds, Harris, Pugh, and other Senators of promi nence declare that the President has no shadow of constitutional right to fill a newly-created office when the Senate in not in session to give its advice and consent. They hold that his power iu the matter is limited to filling vacancies temporarily which may happen during the recess. There is a good deal of speculation as to what tbe President will do with the bill recently passed by both Houses of Congiess making a De partment of Agriculture and an ad dition to the Cabinet to be called the Secretary of Agriculture. This bill has been pending In Congress for years and was passed once before by branches, but was vetoed by Presi dent Arthur. Agriculturists gener ally petitioned for its passage of late and it is thought Mr. Cleveland will not veto it for fear of imperiling his political future. It has been just 38 years since a Congress created a new Executive Department. Our first President began bis administration with a Cabinet of three members, the Sec retaries of State, Treasury and War. At tbe beginning ot his second term, however, the Attorney General was added to his official household, and later the Navy Department was or ganized. The Cabinet then consisted of five members until 1829, when the Postmaster General was added. Twenty years later Congress organ ized the last Department, that of tbe Interior, and President Taylor made Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, its first Secretary. As soon as Mr. Corcoran, tbe ven erable and widely known Washing ton philanthropist, learned of the arrival of Mrs. Grant in this city, he called to see her. She has alno been visited by all of the employes of the White Honse who were there during her residence in it. Mrs. Cleveland bad grown a little fatigued from tbe numerous official hospitalities which always crowd tbe last fortnight of the gay season, and welcome the quiet lent. Such mild festivities as Shaksper ian, German and French readings, whist clubs, Dorcas meetings, mu sical and sewing schools, are now in order, and seem to be full of interest to those who give up all social pomps and vanities during tbe Lenten season.

Bolton's Plat, Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 20, '86. Swift's Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. Gentlemen : I have been a con stant sufferer- from inflammatory rheumatism for twenty-five years. For the past five years I was off' and on tbe bed for several months at a time, racked with pain, and unable to put my foot to the ground. My wife bad to cut up my food and feed me while I lay belplesB on the bed. When I was turned in bed, it had to be on the sheet, held on either side. My physician, one of the ablest in Montgomery, finally gave me up; and he said my only hope was to go to Hot Springs. My wife, however, persuaded me to try S. S. S. Three years ago I be gan to take the Specific, after having been treated for the inflam matory rheumatism by tbe most em inent physicians in Richmond, Va., Augusta and Savannah, Ga., and Montgomery, Ala. After a few bottles of S. S. S. I improved rapidly, and for a while I ceased taking the medicine, and before the disease was eradicated. Later I bad a relapse, and I immediately resorted to S. S. 8., which soon brought me around all right, and since then I have attended regularly to my business. In all I have used only $16 worth of S. S. S. It cured me, and I regard it as tbe greatest and only rheuma tic cure that I know of. Very respectfully, M. T. Lamar. Treatise on Blood and Skin Dis eases mailed free.
