RAPIDLY SHIFTING SCENES
IN A BUSY WORLD.
TflEWlTlSKTTRUSTCASE
ARGUMENTS AGAINST QUASH
ING OF INDICTMENTS.
The Consolidation of Corporations Inim
ical to Legitimate Trade and Contrary
to the Spirit or the Constitution Tho
Judge Reserves Hia Decision.
The Whiskey Trast Case.
Boston special: The United States Dis
trict Attorney has filed an answer in the
whiskey trust suits to President Grecnhut's
motion to quash and tho general demurer
of the other defendants.
Attorney AllcnAolds that tho objections
that tho indictment was indefinite, uncer
tain, and that it did not sufficiently Inform
the accused of the nature of the offense,
arc of no validity and should be overruled
flncc it appears that the indictment does
not charge a statutory offense; that the of
fense is under the second section of the
anti-trust act of July 2, 18M. and charges
the defendants witli monopolizing the arti
cles named therein. He says that the of
fense wai created by an act of misde
meanor, and quotes authorities supporting
the position; that the facts arc not tryable
under a motion of quash, because the facts
as set forth in the indictment show that
the offense was under the statute.
The District Attorney quotes at length
from the speech of Hon. John Shermnn in
the Senate on March SI. 18CU, defining the
purposes of the act, which is to so arm fed
eral courts, within the limits of constitu
tional power, that they may co-operate In
checking and controlling the most danger
ous combinations 'which now threaten the
estate, property, and people of the United
States.
flVRNED MONEY FOUND.
A Probable Clue to the Cause of Fay
master Cileason'a Death.
Marquette, Mich, special: A package
containing fragments of pattialls; burned
b.mk bills was found near Ishpeming. It
Is believed that the burned bills are part of
the money which disappeared from tho
Cleveland Company's office, on the night of
Jan. 8 last, when Paymaster John Gleason
was shot. It was afterward found that Glea
son was short several hundred dollars, and a
theory of suicide was formed. Hut this
idea was decidedly negative by the location
of the wound, which was such as to make
It practically impossible for Gleason to have
inflicted it upon himself. It Is generally
bilieved that GJcason's murderer concealed
a part of Ills plunder in the wash rock
dump and feared or was unable to get it
again. How the bills came to be partially
burned is a mystery.

nine, enticed by the devil, she lost her rclf
control and gave him a strychnine capsule
in a glass of water. She then kissrd him
and went to the bedroom and put pillows

scrcums when dying. She said that he was
never unfaithful, but he was In debt and
she wanted her husband's life insurance,
amounting to $2,500.

than the two Cunarders now building on
the Cllde. The Cunarders are of 14,000
tons each, 600 feet long, and to be furnished
with engines of 30,000 horse power. There
Is little doubt that the White Star vessels
bavo already taken form on paper, and
that they will be nearly If not quite 15,000
tons register. This is larger than any
steamship now afloat. That two new freight
steamships, each larger than the twin
screw vessels, Normandlc and Taurlc, are

these two freighters, Navonlc, will be

be finished later In the season. The Runic
and Cuplc, single screw, will bo withdrawn

freighters go Into service, and will prob-
,ably then ply between Boston and Liver
pool.
A MANIA FOR DESTRUCTION.
A Chicago Burglar Who Destroys but
Doesn't Steal.
Chicago special: The latest criminal sen
sation is a burglar who destroys but does
not carry away plunder. During the past
few days numerous cases have been re
ported o' houses being entered and fine
dresses and lace curtains being slashed to
pieces with knives, jewelry broken and
stamped upon, and costly vases smashed in
pjleces. From the manner In which the
houses are entered It is evident that the
despoilcr of jewelry and costly fabrics has
a full equipment of skeleton keys and other
burglars tools. Nothing Is ever missed
from the houses Into which he effects an
entrance, but ho never leaves until his
mania for destrctlon has been amply satis
fied THEY JUMPED HIS DAM SITE.
This Made Capt, King Mad and a Bloody
Scrimmage Followed.
Phoenix, Ariz., special: A serious shoot
ing affray took place ten miles from this
city. Six months ago a company of Minne
apolis capitalists jumped tho dam site of
CaDt. John King's claim and began a series
of improvements, working a force of twenty-six
or thirty men. King ordered the
party to quit work at the point of a rifle,
which they did. Later he Insisted that
they leave the claim. On their refusal, he
tired several shots. The camp returned tho
fire, hitting King in both legs. He was
brought to this city In a precarious condi
tion, but It is thought he will recover. Itls
likely a feud will follow

ton. The writ was obtained on the ground of
the insufficiency of the requisition papers.
Are Ready to i-tart.
Kingfisher, Oklahoma, special: There Is
an almost unbroken line of encampment
along the borders of the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe reservations, and every moment
the ranks of the boomer receives recruits.
Most of the boomers are a fine class of Im
migrants, although a number of Texas ne
groes, who are poorly equipped, are wait
ing on the south side. In spite of the vigi
lance of the soldiers, some people slipped
iuto the country, and when the opening
comes it Is. probable every place offering
any concealment will be occupied by "soon
crs." The facilities of towns along the
border are taxed to their utmost to accom
modate the rush. The line is already
formed in front of the land office. Town
sites in six new counties have been sur
veyed aud artistically named. Watonga
will be the county scat of C, Tolga of D,
Ioland of E, Ewing of F, Arap-thoe of G.
and Rossmore of II. It is stated that there
is no doubt but that the town sites will be
opened on the same day as the land.

firmed Invalid for two years. His belief

iting his stomach, but his physician; ridi
culed the Idea and doctored him for in
digestion. Mr. Phillips finally began to
doctor himself, and a few weeks ago he
took a strong dose of liniment and the pain
was lessened. He took a second dose and
there came from hint a short time after
ward a full grown lizaad about five Inches
in length. Phillips is on bis way to recov
ery. Nine of Them Drowned.
Boston special: Instructor A. F. Noi
burg of the Boston Farm School, St. Thomp
son's Island, left the city with ten boys
connected with the school, in a sailboat to
go to the Island. Midway the boat was up
set by a squall and all were thrown into the
ice water. All managed to cling to the
vessel, but no relief came and one by one
they were chilled through, slipped from the
insecure support and drowned, until the
instructor and eight boys were gone. At
the end of four hours the boat drifted
ashore with two survivors.
They Forgot the Fire.
Warsaw, Ind., special: Word came from
ricrccton, a village of 1,200 inhabitants,
nine miles east, that one of the principal
business blocks was on fire. Two fire com
panies were sent from here. When the fire
was at Its worst a couple of the members of
the two companies became Involved in a
controversy. Each company took the side
of its member, and for awhile the fire was
forgotten, and the companies turned their
nozzles on each other. In the meantime the
building was consumed.

SETTLES WITH ITALY.
America Pays 125,000 Francs Indemnity
Voluntarily.
Washington special: Inquiry from this
city confirms the statement from Rome of a
complete amicable settlement between the
United States and Italy of the trouble grow
ing out of tho New Orleans tragedy. The
United States acted voluntarily, simply as
an act of justice and good will, without
committing Itself to a recognition of any
claim for Indemnity. The money has been
placed In the hands of a representative of
Italy for the heirs of the three Italians
killed In New Orleans who were found to be
subjects of Italy.
Tho full text of tho correspondence on tne
subject was made public. The fint exhibit
was a letter from Secretary Blaine, dated
April 12, to Marquis Imperial!, Italian
charge d'affaires, congratulating him that
the difficulty growing out of tho lamentable
massacre at New Orleans was about to bo
consummated, and saying that the Presi
dent feels that there should be ample in
demnity for such an injury and Instructs
him to tender 125,000 francs to be distrib
uted by the Italian government among the
families of the victims. Blaine says that
while the Injury was not directly Inflicted
by the United States, the President feels
that it Is a solemn duty, as well as great
pleasure, for the national government to
pay satisfactory Indemnity, and hopes that
the Presldeat's instructions may efface all
memory of the unhappy tragedy and that
the old and friendly relations between the
United States and Italy may be restored.
In closing Blaine assures Imperial! that his
service is grateful and acceptable to the
United State.
Marquis Imperial!, In acknowledging
Blalno's note, expressed the pleasure of his
majesty's government to learn that the
United States acknowledges it as its solemn
duty and at the same, time a great pleasure
to pay indemnity to Italy, and accepts the
same without prejudice to the judicial steps
which it may be proper for tiic parties to
take and sees no reason why tho relations
between the two governments should not
again become intimafe, cordial and friendly
under the instructions to Premier Rudini
and In the name of the Dalian government.
Imperial! declares to Blainu that diplo
matic relations between Italy and the
United States are fully re-established and
pending the Minister's return to the capital
advises him that he will take charge of the
royal legation In the capacity of Charge
d' Affairs.

Ills duties gave him direct dealings with
depositors. On Nov. 14 last Wiltshaw left tho
bank hurriedly in his thin alRaca oflico
coat, and that is the last Dr Parker and his
associates have seen of him. At the time
Wiltshaw left lie was aware that ids books
vi ere beiug examined. Dr. Parker an
nounces authoritatively that Wiltshaw was
a defaulter to the amount of $32,072, of
which Dr. Parker thinks the bank may re
cover $8,700.

Three Men Hold Up a Train and Get
Away with SJ3tOOO.
New Orleans special: A daring aud suc
cessful robbery was committed within seventy-five
miles of this city. When a pas
senger train on the Illinois Central, north

CLAIMS HALF THE ESTATE.
Romance of a Chicago Wair Who Now
Wants Hei Foster Father's Property.
Something over twenty yoars ago
Elder Jason G. Miller of Lincoln
.adopted, from a foundling hospital in
Chicago, a baby girl and brought her to
his home in that city. He died in Cali
fornia three months ago leaving an es
tato valued at S.iOO,coo, largely real es
tate in Lincoln. In the meantime the
girl, against tho wishes of her foster
parents, married, becoming Mrs. E. O.
Lewis. Eider Miller left a will be
queathing the larger part of his wealth
to charity and none to the daughter.
After his death the claim was made
that tho girl had never been adopted,
and this could not be disproved, as the
great Chicago lire had destroyed tho
court records. Recently, however, a
detective visited Chicago and thero
found the woman who placed in tho
arms of Elder Miller the foundling
child, and whose testimony is to the ef
fect that the adoption was legal Mrs.
Lewis now brings suit for half tho es
tate. The former name of Mrs. Lewis
and the history of her parentage havo
never been revealed.
WANT BETTER RATES.
Nebraska Butter and Egg Dealers' Asso
ciation in Session.
A meeting of delegates from the Ne
braska lluttcr and Egg Dealers' Associ
ation was held in Fremont. Tho meet
ing was for a conference with represent
atives of tho Eastern association, em
bracing Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and
New York. These representatives
were Mr. Cherry of Now York,
and Messrs. Horn and Harris of Union
City, Ind. The object of this con
ference was to discuss matters of
mutual interest, tho principal one of
which is with reference to railroad
rates. The point to be striven for in
this direction is to get the same rates
on shipments as are now m ail o to the
dressed beef men. The risk of hand
ling butter and eggs is practically iden
tical with that of handling dressed beef
yet the rates are twice as high.
The question of promoting legislation
in the direction of driving out oleomar
garinc as a competitor of dairy proJ
nets was also consMcre:!. No definite
action was taken, but a bcgiun'ng was
made for uniform action that will bo
followed up in the future.

now lies in a critical condition. It can
not at present be determined how dan
gerous her injuries are. Although tho
two daughters were thrown beneath the
buggy and the frightened horses passed
over tbem, they received only slight
bruises. The carriage was literally
smashed to splinters.
Shut at Ills Wire by Mistake.
A few nights recently D. M. Wolf, a
merchant of University Place, was
aroused by a noise at his front door,
and seizing a gun and light, proceeded
to investigate. The would-be burglar
answered him back when he asked
what was wanted, but heeded the warn
ing to mako himself scarce. Mr. Wolf
thereupon blew out the light and started
back to his bedroom. In tho meantime
his wife had arisen and was in the
kitchen, in tho act of pulling down a
window blind, when her husband came
to the room. Supposing she was an ac
complice of the other fellow attempting
.to escapo by way of tho window, Mr.
Wolf took as straight aim as ho could
and fired, tho ball going so near to its
mark that the powder burnt his wife's
neck. No injury resulted from the ac
cident other than a terrible shock
which has prostrated tho lady for tho
time being.

stockville Citizens Disappointed.
For some time past the people of
Stockville have been anxious to have
the Court House yard improved a"nd
made presentable by planting trees
around the same, but tho Commissioners
hare always refused to do anything in!
that line, on account of the possible ex
pense to the connty. A number or
wide awake citizens made another effort
in this matter. They presented a writ
ten offer, signed by almost every busi-J
ness man in tho village, agreeing to'
plant the trees, seed down the yard and
keep the same fram weeds for the next
five years without any expense to the
county, provided the county would
fence tho same, but the Commissioners
refused to allow anything to be done.
He Was from Omaha.
A half-dozen Fremont business men
are kicking themselves for having been
confidenced by one L. Marks of Omaha,
who was in that city a day or two ago,
and who, according to his own confes
sion, was a llttlo short of funds. Ho
represented that ho was with-tho Al
bright Land Company, and that he
was paying taxes, etc. He succeeded
in getting several suckers to bito, and
they advanced him small sums of 12 to
$15 each by his giving them drafts on
himself through two Omaha banks.
The drafts have come back unhonorcd
and with protest charges, which must
bo paid by those who had tho honor of
Marks' brief acquaintance. Ono of the
victims is the City Marshal, who is also
at the head of a Detective Bureau. i

It seems that publishers like liberties

printed in England under the title
"John Northwick, Defaulter,"' owing to
the circumstances that another book
