A FATAL FEUD.
A Railroad Yardmaster Mur

The body of Yardmaster Graves , of
the U. P. railroad , who has charge of
the company's grounds at Laramie ,
was found between 2 and 3 o'clock
yesterday ! dead * Q the yard , at that
place , having been shot by some un
known person. Circumstances point
ed strongly to C. A. Perlonett , freight
conductor of the U. P. railroad , as
having been the guilty party , and ho
was arrested. At 10 o'clock this
morning the coroner's jury was in
session , but the result of their delib
erations Is not yet learned.
Perionett is sail to be a brother of
Conductor Perionett , of this division
of the U. P. There had been bitter
enmity between himself and Graves
for some time , and he had been heard
to make fierce threats against tho' lat
ter. A knife and pistol wore found on
his person after the arrest , and there
were other circumstance * , the details
of which are not learned , which indi
cate that he is the murderer. The
people of Laramie have no duubt of
this being the fact The men were
entirely alone when the sffilr occurred ,
and the cvidenco is entirely circum
stantial.
Perionett Is said to have been
a man of very vindictive tem
per , and was somewhat under the In
fluence of liquor last night. His
victim , Graves , had been for a long
time In the employ of the company
and was a man of good character and
generally osteemed. He was former
ly in the employ of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad company. Ho
was a man about twenty-eight years
old , and was recently married.

ICELAND'S EIGHTS.
An Eloquent Lecture by Mr.
John Devoy in Clark's Hall.
Mr. John Devoy , an eloquent and
prominent leader of the Irish nation
alists for over twenty years.lectnred at
Clark's hallon the corner of Dodge and
Fourteenth streetz , Thursday , under
the auspices of the Emmet Monument
association. The subject of the lec
ture was "The Irish National Cause
and Present Crisis. " The large au
dience room was filled with earnest
and intelligent Irishmen and friends
of Ireland's cause. Music of an ex
cellent nature was furnished by the
A. O. H. band , who played several se
lections precedingand after the lecture.
Rev. Geo. W. Pepper , of Ohio , a
clergyman cf the Mathodlst
church , was announcad to be
present , but did not arrive. The
speaker of the evening was Introduced
by Mr. 0. V. Gallagher In a few-
fitting remarks , and proceeded to elo
quently , thoughtfully and ably han
dle the subject of his theme for
nearly two hours and a half. His
speech , of which the following is a
brief synopsis , was frequently inter
rupted by applause. Ho said :
"I do not propose to go through
the history of Ireland to note the
causes of her misfortunes , or to trace
the long struggle for independence
which had a direct bearing toward
Irish freedom. In considering the
past movements for freedom in Ire
land it Is foolish 'to Ignore the fact
that a great majority of the Irish
farmers have held aloof from the
Irish national movement , and that
theleaders , and aetive workers In the
movement of ' 43 , and in the Fenian
movement , were the professional
cissies and the shop-keepers of the
larger towns. Perhaps one reason
for this was the fact that the move
ments were led by young men , and
may have seemed to lack statesman
ship and cool judgment. "
The speaker then gave a graphic
picture of Ireland under the last few
years of British rule , with all the
offices from lord lieutenant , magis
trates and grand jurors down filled
with enemies to Irish nationality ,
while landlordism WLS fastened on the
whole social system of the island. He
noted that thousands of brave and
patriotic mon were kept from taking
an active part m the national move
ment , not from fear of English rule or
Englkh bayonets , but through dread
of the result to their families , and be
cause they know that eviction meant
starvation.
Passing to the consideration of the
land loagne and its work the speak
er Bid , "Whatever else has been the
result of the efforts of the land league
whatever paltry measures have been
introduced in the British parliament ,
the le gue alone muat have the credi
of the great work of breaking down
the social power in Ireland of the land
lords. Two years ago Ireland was as
quiet on the surface aa after the move
ment of 1848. Of what was oing on
beneath the surface then or since , it is
not my place to speak on a public
platform , but many of you may know.
At this time Michael Davitt appear
ed. " ( The mention of Davitt's name
was greeted with ringing cheers. )
Davitt'a work was traced somewhat
in detail , and the feet that he and the
most advanced 'thinkers in Ireland
came to the conclusion that though
John Mitchell's doctrine was right
that "no good can come to Ireland
from the English parliament , " that
nevertheless they recognized the effect
of elections in shaping public opinion
at home and abroad. "I was a
revolutionist then , " said the speaker ,
"iiid am still a revolutionistbut I rec
ognized , with othen , that it had be
came necessary to send to parliament
men whose election would bo a stand
ing protest against the condition of
affairs. It was determined that
vigorous efforts bo made In the press
on the platform , at the hustings. The
nationalists were cctive , but the
essential portion of their rrork being
illegal , according to British laws , was
done In private. "
The speaker then described the Irish
famine and its effect on the relations
of landlord and tenant. He gave to
Michael Davitt , Thoa. Brennan and
Patrick E an the credit of shaping the
Irish l.-.iid movement , and then called
attention to the fact that a new line of
policy was necessary in the conduct cf
this reform , or It must end with the
passage of a trivial bill by the English
parliament. He glanced at the spread
of public opinion which had Indiaio-
lubly united Catholics and Protest
ants in the common cause. Alluding
to tbe idea of force in breaking from
British rule , he said that all that Fe-
aianism raised and squandered would
lot keep one brigade in the field three
uonthd. He.advisedTthat , for the
Droaant , collections for the land cause
je carefully guarded in this country , t
md not sent to Ireland , where the ]
Jand League now has $500,000. He
redictod much needless bloodshed In ;
reland within the next few months , t
ut said :
"Hook forward to an armed strug-
le between the fifteen millions of .
rlshmen in different parts of the
rorld , and England , perhaps when .
he latter is in the heat of some foreign .
rar , or when her Indlau empire shall '
t laet make a mighty attempt to
brow off the iron yoke of foreign
omination. "
At the conclusion of the lecture a
nmbor of the more prominent mem-
crj of the Emmet asiociation re
tained and in company with Mr.
avoy held a prirato meeting * o dls-
jis meaBures tending toward the
irtheranco of the cause of Ireland's

EXHAUSTED CREDIT ,
Several Small Grocery Firms
Close Their Doors.
One Man Accused of Fraud
and Under Arrest.
Tha arrest yesterday of Joe. Brown ,
the Sixteenth street grocer , on a
charge of obtaining goods under false
pretenses , the complaint being made
by a prominent wholesale firm , cf
whom ho had purchased goods , citne
as a decided warning from the whole
sale houses of Omaha to all creditors
who might attempt ho bankruptcy
dodge. Some time since a firm in the
southern part of the state was sum
moned to this city under similar cir
cumstances , and since that tlmo a general -
oral understanding has been arrived
at by our jobbing houses that it waa
necessary to protect themselves against
snch frauds by resorting to extreme
measures.
Tbe facts in Brown's caieappear to
have been as follows : His business
had been good and the debt side fcf his
books a mere trifle. A day or two
since ho purchased a handsome new
dslivary wagon. On Wednesday he
verykqulotly transferred everything to
hia father , an old Gorman , who runs a
peanut stand on Fifteenth street ,
nearly opposite the postofUce. As
soon as this fact became known , some
of the loading houses to whom he waa
indebted attached the business and
arrested him on a charge of fraud.
He was arraigned in police court yes
terday , when his counsel. Messrs.
Ehurston and Ferguson , made A mo
tion to quash the entire matter. Judg j
Beneko overruled the motion and the
rial was set for next Tuesday. In
the meantime the officers are in pos :
session of the establishment and goods.
Two other failures of small grocery ;
louses in this city were recorded yea- :
.orday , but in neither of the latter do
.ho creditors claim there is any ground
'or charging traud.

A young grocer in Ouming county
ras In the city Wednesday night , for
he purpose of settling with his crcdi-
ors , who are Omaha wholesale houses.
Ln understanding was arrived at , un- >
ler which he is allowed to continue
lis business.
Considering the ( trifling importance
if these three firms , their failure is
lardlya ripple in Omaha business life ,
nd yet It is more failures than have
ccnrred in two years before.
Mr. Goodrich , of Dun & Co. , slated
o a BEE reporter yesterday that it
ras & remarkable proof of the snb-
tantlal nature of our resources , that
very one of the jobbing houses of
maha ( and there are many ) had come
trough the worst period ever known
a wholesale business without a single
illure. Yet tha jobbing houses must
leet every obllgatlou , or they fail ,
rhile they are obliged to give their
reditors repeated extensions of time

A WOMAN'S SUICIDE ,
A Story of Speculation and
Love Poisoning Herself
in New York.
On a windir of a Pullman coach
running between here and Ogden may
be seen the name of Kate Mondhelm ,
cat with a diamond ring , and in a
woman's delicate thandwriting. A
strangely romantic history in connec
tion with the life and tragic death of
the lady bearing that name has recent
ly cotne to light. A few days ago a
press dispatch from Nevr York city
announced the suicide of Miss Kate
Mondheitn , who had registered at the
St. James hotel the Saturday previous
under the name of Mrs. 0. M. John-
syn. On Sunday evening she was
fonnd dead in her room
and a post fmortem revealed that
she had bean poised by
morphine. The name of a young man
in San Francisco , who was supposed
to know the victim of suicide wai
found , to whom a letter was written
and the reply which was received fur
nishes a clew to her identity. It waa
discovered that she was the adopted
daughter of Moritz Mendheiai , of Un-
ger & Mendheim , real estate agents
in San Francisco , and had been edu
cated in the beat seminaries of Ham
burg.
"When an infant Kato was brought
to this country by her mother , and ,
her mother dying , Mr. Mendheim
adopted her and took her to the me
tropolis of the Pacific coast. The girl
grew into a moat beautiful woman ,
and was for a time a reigning belle
in San Franciaco. She went to New
York with a lady friend , whom she
\vas assisting to acquire the
German and French langtragos ,
as her friend contemplated mar
rying a wealthy merchant of New
York , when they were together to
make an extended tour of Europe.
Mr. Mendheim at last consented to
his daughter's departure from him and
supplied her liberally with money ,
besides giving her power to draw upon
his SAU Francisco banker. Both la
dies on their eastern journey stopped
in Omaha and remained hero for acv-
orval days both to rest and sou the
city. | Mr. Mendheim received
regular letters from hia daughter ,
and after a few weeks' absence she
wrote :
' I wi > l not be back to Sau Francisco to
see you until naxt spring , when I shall ba
married. "
Mr. Mendheim knew the object of
hia daughter's choice and heartily ap
proved of the match. What was his
grief and astonishment then to receive
In a letter a few days later from the
lady friend , with whom she had gone
to New York , the following :
"Kale went away from our house yes
terday without one word of apology , and
the only thing she said w s iiot to let her
father know how she left. "
There had evidently been a quar
rel , though what about wn not dU-
closed. Among the girl's effects ,
which were opened by the coroner ,
were found papers and other evidences
of stock speculation by her , concern
ing which her father had known noth
ing She had doubtlets loit all her
money and one theory of the suicide
was that la a fit of despondency , too
proud to toll her loving foster
parent of. her leases , she took
the fatal poison. But the fact that
she might have procured assistance In
New York from relatives and friendi
of Mr. Mondheim , of whom she
knew , threw a block in the way of
the theory of daath by reason of finan
cial troubles. It WHS for the
coroner who had charge of the unfor
tunate woman's effacta to clear up the
still unsolved mystery. There were
tour letters that had been furn up.
These were put together , and dis
closed the existence ot a love affair
concerning which the friends of Mi s
Mendhoim knew nothing. Two of
the letters were signed "C" , and were
full of passionate declarations of love
and the stereotyped protestations cf
the sanctity of a marriage not solem
nized in church. These lettrajtogether
with disclosures by the autopsy held
upon the body cf the unfortunate
woman , told the story. Speculation ,
romance , ruin and death made up the
history of what had promised to be a
llto of happiness and peace.
"Westward the Star of Empire. "
The Union Pacific train westward
bound was about an honr late in ar
riving at the Omaha depot yesterday
owlnj to the Immonjo amount of
baggigo and numerous passengers
U the transfer depot. The train was
composed of four passenger cars and
two Pullman coaches , with three bag-
jige cars. Tie crowd at the U. P.
depot in this city would seem to indi-
ito that some eastern state had
broken loose in a body and was obey-
he impulse of the axiom , "Westward
ho star of empire takes its way. "
