Two of the Labor Loaders Ar

Bail Refaeod by Judge Savage
and His Reasons Therefor.
Fonda Appears Before th <
Grand Jury as an Import
ant Witness.
Quiet and Oniony Mooting of tbi
Worklngmon at Kosslor's Hall.
Yesterday afternoon another sto [
was taken in the action of the civil
authorities against the loaders of thi
laboring movement which is agitating
Omaha.
The grand jury late yesterday after
noon presented indictments to tin
district court against some of the alleged
logod loaders in the so-called riot o
Wednesday of last week , and a little
before six o'clock Mr. Walsh and Barney
noy Shannon wore arrested on writi
of capias issued under the indictment !
by Judge Savago. Before the arrests
wore made court had adjourned and
Judge Savage had gene to his homo ,
Ho was called on by the bondsmen oi
Mr. Walsh who tendered bail foi
that gentleman , but as the judge did
not see fit to receive it , Mr. Walsh
wn < j compelled to remain in the county
jail.A
A reporter of TUB BEE called at the
jail about seven o'clock last night to
iind out the circumstances of the ar
rest. It seems that Mr. Walsh had
learned that his arrest was ordered
and ho had started for the sheriffs
office , when ho wan met on Farnam
street by the deputy and arrested , and
taken to the jail. Ho felt somewhat
chagrined and could not BOO why the
judge should refuse bail when it was
tendered , and asked for some points
of law regarding the right of the court
to do BO. However , ho was confident
that it would como out all right in the
and ; only ho naturally disliked the
Idea of spending a night in the jail.
Barney Shannon was there also , as
ho had returned fromhomo , where ho
wont in charge of a deputy to acquaint
his family with the news of
liis arrest and to got his
supper. Ho said that ho did
not mind about the jail , but ho re
gretted the circumstances which
placed him there more on account of
bis family Mian for himself. They
bade the reporter say that Jailor
Milk was making them as comforta
ble as lay in his power.
A call was then made at the resi-
lonco of Judge Savage , to got the
'acts in regard to his refusal
n accept bail , when tendered.
Judge Bavftgo stated that at
the close of court District Attorney
Burnhom and'hia assistant , Charles J.
Green , had requested him to admit
the prisoners to bail only when one of
them was present.-BO thai the amount
of bail and'tho bondsmen could bo
objected to , and the case argued , if
necessary. He regretted the circum-
jtanoes which compelled the men to
ipend the night in jail , but'tho dig
nity of the court must bo preserved ,
Mid the inconvenience to the prison-
era was only what was liable to happen -
pen when the machinery of the law
was turned evenly , grinding out jus
tice1 to all alike. The question of bail
would bo argued at the opening of
: ourt to-day.
Mr Walsh sent word to the Labor
Protective union that ho wished them
to bo perfectly cool and quiet , and
take no action until ho was liberated ,
which would bo within loss than
twenty-four hours.
It is generally understood that an
Indictment was also found yesterday
igainst James Knight , president of
the Holder's union tnd ono of the
sxooutivo committee of the Protec
tive Labor union. Mr. Knight was
not arrested lant evening , and as
below stated presided at the mooting
) f the workiiipion { hold in Kossler's
liall. Of the indictments it is under-
itood thai there have boon four found
igainst Walsh , two against Shannon ,
ind thrco against Knight. The priii-
: ipal charge against those gentlemen
s that of assault with intent to kill ,
) r the same charge upon which they
ivoro arrested.
WHAT lIHOUdHT TUB INDICTMENTS.
There are a good many things coni
ng to light concerning the indict-
uents found by the grand jury yes-
t-rday. The workingmen complain
oudly of this action and charge that
hero is a collusion between the dis-
riot attorney and Chas. Green , Esq. ,
ho recognized counsel of the 13. & M.
iompany and that Mr. Green appeared
, s the prosecuting attorney bofoio the
; rend jury in accordance with that
indcrstandintf. It is also claims that
iVm. A , Foiu ) a appeared as a wit noes
> oforo the grand jury and that upon
lis representations there the indict-
nonts were in greal part found. Tlmy
! ate that Fonda appeared as a witness
iccauso it was discovered by members
f the executive committee last
rook that Fonda had written
ho letter which the mayor
fated ho received informing hiu
f Intended trouble at the dump on
Vedneadny afternoon , This letter is
laiined by the members of the exec
live committee to contain only fab
cations and baseless lies.
In connection with this allegation
10 following in a recent issue of the
ow 1 ork Tribune , may bo of some
itcrcst : .
The araost of William Augustus
end , chairman of the executive"
immitteo of the "Labor Union , " as a
ngleader in the Omaha riots , excites
uoh interest in Paterson , N. J. ,
hero Fonda was well known until
tout two years ago , when ho went to
maha to find better appreciation of
peculiar ttlents than was accorded
his natiro city. lie had boon a
eminent figure in Patenon from his
yhood , and was generally regarded
a harmlrss "crank "
, although a
ryer of tome ability. His mental
ipouilbility tai alw ys been a sub-
of discussion in Fatcrson , and i
tict had ever rendered himso
amenable to the law , it is doubtfi
whether a Passaio county jury coul
have been empanelled which woul
not have hesitated to consign him t
any place of confinement but an in
sane asylum The test never came
for Fonda's life in Patterson was Ian
abiding His obliquity seemed t
consist in a mania for perversion. II
was an incorrigible romancer , and hi
exploits in that direction are well re
mombercd , His romances did n
harm , as nobody believed him Fond
was in turn a Ritualist , Roman Catli
olio , and a fervent disciple of Ingot
soil. His memory was wonderful , nn <
ho could repeat accurately passage
from Greek and Roman classics
Among the workingmen of Pattcraoi
ho never had any following , althougl
his devotion to the "labor" caus
broke out some time before his dc
parturo for the west. His father
now dead , was a respectables citizen
and his sister is a physician of tli
regular school , and is highly estoemci
in the community for her bonovolonc
and nocial qualities. Fonda's irro u
laritios have been a source of grief t <
his relatives.
Another very interesting bit of now
has leaked out It appears that th
card from Fonda published in ono o
the morning papers was submittei
first to Mayor JJoyd and that tin
latter wrote a letter for Fonda's bone
fib directed "To whom it iruy concern
corn , " containing considerable fuliomi
praise and "taffy" forthat gentleman'
benefit. This letter Fonda stated hi
desired for the benefit of his relative )
and friends in the east.
JIT KESSLER'H HALL.
A most enthusiastic mooting of tin
Omaha Laborers' Protective union wet
hold last evening at Kosslcr'r hall ot
Thirteenth street. The spacious h l
was filled to its utmost capacity , one
it was evident that the news of the
arrest of President Walsh and Barney
noy Shannon and the rumored indict
ments of other prominent worker *
in the laboring men's move
ment had stirred up great
excitement. Whbn James Knight ,
of the executive committee , appeared
and took the chair in the absence of
the president , ho was greeted with
applause , as it was generally auppacod
that ho , top , had been arrested.
Mr. Knight called the mooting to
order , and made an extended , tem
perate and yet very forcible speech.
Ha was interrupted frequently by
tumultuous applause , Which indi
cated in how full sympathy
the mooting was with his
sentiments , lie said that the workingmen
ingmon should in nowise record this
legal persecution as an omen of
Icfoat. The union was as strong and
itron er than ever. They could bo
xssured that , although their president
urns in jail because of his devotion to
the cause of right and justice , and
jthcr of the prominent mem-
sera of the organization were
hourly expecting arrest , still the
: auso was on the high road to victory
and success was bound to como. Ho
denounced the grand jury as being
under the spir of a corporation ,
ffhich had used every moans in its
power to crush the laboring men of
this city and other places under the
heel of its starving despotism. Those
Urand jurymen are on record by this
action , and should collectively and
individually bo remembered by the
workingmen for their action. The
workingmen should no longer confine
themselves to the lines of politics , nor
should they consider anything except
theirintcrjats.and mon of their choice.
[ Cheers. ] This persecution of the
men connected with this move
ment waa a dodge on the part
r > f the mayor and these who
have brought the troops into our
peaceful city to justify their childish
Action. It was for the purpose of in
citing the laboring mon to commit
some unlawful act and seek thereby
an excuse to use tko guns and
bayonets which were becoming a
laughing stock and a cause for ridi
cule. It was therefore neocsrary that
the laboring mon should bo especially
oareful that this malicious and
dastardly purpose should be foiled.
Although the civil authorities should
persecute them to the utmost possible
degree ; although they should cause
arrests by th-s hundred , and should
throw peaceable citizens in jail
hourly and daily , still the workingmen -
men of Omaha should restrain themselves -
solves and still maintain that dignity
uf purnoso and lawful demeanor that
they would put to shame the men who
liavo falsified their oaths of
oilloo and the so called execu
tive of the state , who has
sstublish a military camp and brought
m armed mob to increase the revenues
af the Rin mills , and patronize the
lives which decent in on will not ou
ter. But the workiiiRmon need not
fear for the result. The end was not
fur awuy and it waa sure to como.
Loss than a half dozen men were now
working at the B. & M. dump and no
inoro could bo induced to work.
The workingmen were so organized
that no laborers could ba brought
lioro from other towns , as the union
> ras in communication with all of the
ubor organizations of every principal
; own and city in the country , and had
ocoivud assurances that no labor
ihould bo furnished to defeat the
: auso of the Omaha workingmon.
In regard to the indictments and
, mtt' , the speaker said that ho pre
ssed to face the music , and ho know
hat all of these arrested would do
ho same , They also proposed to sub-
> tuna as mnuy witnesses as there
iruro me.i in the procession on the
ay when the ofFouscs against them
rcr.o charged. They would bring
,000 witnesses before the court , and
ivo the authorities a chance to try
he cases to their hoard1 content.
When the reference was made to
ho arrott of President Walsh , the
ntiro assemblage arose to their feet ,
nd cheered the name of their leader
a the echo.
Daniel O'Keofe , vice-president of
do National Bricklayer's Union , Col-
> wcd with an eloquent and forcible
peech which was heartily apalauded.
Mr. Nurad then addressed the
saudinavians in their native tongue
t considerable length.
The contributions to the cause were
ten received and announced. They
era rs follows : Bnyd's packing
suso men , 920 ; Leary'a shop at the
. P , works , $22. CO ; sheet iron
orkers of the 0. P. shops , 810.00 ;
T repair shops of the U. P. , $20.00 ,
he total amount was $89,60.
Mr. Murphy delivered an able ad-
CM on the loading questions of tkt
strike. Ho was followed by Mi
Nerad on the same subject , and Mi
Krugor addressed the Germans i
thnir language.
The following resolution was pro
sontcd by Ghainrmn Knight am
unanimously adopted , the rnectin :
arising and cheering :
Whereas , The grand jury have in
dieted and caused the arrest of ou
worthy president , therefore bo it
Resolved , That wo denounce thi
action as an injus ice to American lib
ortica ; and ba it further
Resolved , That wo stand by ou
president , recognising him as a martyr
and propose to stand by him to th <
last.
THE SMELTERS.
The smelters hold a mooting a
Kcsslor's hall last ni ht at sovoi
o'clock , and concluded their busines
before the meeting of the labor unioi
was called. They voted unanimous ! ]
to stand out for $1 75 for these whc
arc receiving n loss amount. Thpsi
who are receiving that or moro dosin
nothing , but intend to sco that ro
respectable wages are paid tin
others.
There are about as many rumors it
the air as there are men to circulati
them , but there is probably no foun
dation for any of them. The workingmen
ingmon seem to realize fully the 5m
pnnanco of their position in thu
crisis , and they are determined Uoot
the quiet , orderly behavior whicl
their leaders counsel.
The arraignment of Presidonl
Walsh and ox-Councilman Shannon
and all others arrested on indict
ments , will bo attended by a larp
crowd this morning. Bail will be
promptly furnished , and the arrested
demand immediate
men will undoubtedly
diate trial.

AT "TUB SEAT OF WAR. "
Everything has boon quiet about
thoB. &M. grounds yesterday. The
military , both regulars and militia ,
are still on duty , but the y are taking
things very easy. Around the bar
racks the Boldiors occupy their time in
reading , smoking and swapping yarns ,
and with the exception ot the dozen erse
so sentries there are no movements
which would indicate that the bojs in
blue were doing more than waiting
j6 ? a train. . * -
The work on the dump is proceed
ing quito lively , although only
about fifteen mon are at work- , includ
ing the teamsters. Eleven , teams are
employed in dragging the dirt , which
is cut from the bank by the steam
shovel. The teams are driven in a
circle , and they are kept in constant
motion , Stephenson was on the
ground for a short time yesterday ,
but he had nothing to say regarding
an in crease in the number1 bf laborers.
Wild rumors ore afloat about the
streets concerning the omntous
Hilence of the workingmen and their
reticence about future action. One
man excitedly told the reporter yester
day that there was a plan on foot to
swoop down on the mi'itia ' at night
and throw them into a panic. Anotner
man gave it as his opinion that dyna
mite might bo used effectively in cer
tain directions. All of these rumors ,
however , are probably entirely with
out any foundation , and it iscertainly
not the policy of the workingmen to
give excuse for any outbreaks. The
good order of Wednesday's funeral
procession was indications of this desire
sire on part of these who are engaged
in and who sympathize with the
strike.

What Ha Thinks.
A reporter of THE BEK called on
Adjutant General Alexander yester
day afternoon , at his apartments at
the Withnell house , and was very cor
dially received. The conversation , of
course , turned naturally to the con
dition of affuira in the city at the
present time , and the general gave it
as his opinion that the calling of the
military hero vras legal and justifiable.
Conoerning the withdrawal of the
troops he coull saw nothing , as that
was m the hands of the city execu
tive , and would bo governed by the
mayor.
The conversation then turned to
the subject of state politics , and the
general stated that ha believed that
the question of a special session of
the legislature was settled in the affir
mative , and that the governor would
make the call immediately , if ho had
not already done to ,
State politics in gqneral and the
chances of executive aspirants were
discussed at some length. Ho con
siders Mr. Dawes , of Crete , ono of the
