THE EIOT ACT.
LINCOLN , May 19. The wannest
aceno that has occurred during the
session was in the house yesterday
when the militia appropriation bill
oamo up for consideration > n committee
of the whole. The whole day was con.
aumod in the discussion of this
matter , and on amount of spirit shown
in opposition to the payment of <
travagant charges that augurs badly
for any repetition of the insane folly
of calling out the troops to fight a
phantom foe. The debate called out
some oratory of a very exalted character
actor , the members vicingwith each
other in lauding or denouncing the
validity of the various claims. A
lengthy and heated oontrorersy took
place over the items include d in the
ata for expenses of the governor's
staff. Tno UlJI i irCw. bliroT
about S4SO , presented by S. J. Alex
ander , for services as adjutant general
and brigadier general during the riot ,
at a combina'd salary of about § 9,000
per year. After an animated discus
sion , during which the charge was de
clared constitutional , nugatory , ir
relevant and a generally bad character
given k it , the item was stricken out
altogether.
MBroatch said his army oxpori
encfwarranted the declaration that
was no need of a brigade staff
: o there wore only a few compa
with a complete regimental staff ,
the house did not strike out the
r staff officer's claims. By 3 p.
Ja debate had reached a red heat.
som , Hulman , Whedon , Moore ,
ork , and a number of others made
; orous fight against the staff ex
es and other claims. Bartlett ,
rchHowo , Mickey and McClung re-
/ Biaiod every effort to reduce the claims.
' Moore , of York , made a spirited
' speech against the objectionable fea
tures of the bill in the course of which
he requested the clerk to road a com
munication which he stated would
throw new light on the subject under
discussion. The clerk began to read
when Church Howe jumped up exclaiming
claiming , "Who is thu letter okmed
by ? "
"Lot the clerk read on , and you
will find out presently , " responded
Mr. Moora.
Then Bartlett advancing in front of
the speakers desk furious with sup
pressed rage shouted at the top of his
voice , "Thulottor ia signed by K Rosewater -
water and enter protest against al
lowing u stump speech from him being
road hero , Wo will r.ot allow it to bo
read. "
This wao the signal for general up
roar and the moat intense excitement.
One member asked Bartlett whether
ho would object if the latter was
eigncd by Tom Kimball. Others
shouted , "Let the letter bo read no
matter if it is signed by the dovil. "
For nuarly twenty minutes the
house wns perfect pandemonium ;
raembora wore shouting themselves
hoarse ; knots were all over the house
discussing points of order , and the
chair only added to the confusion with
his gavel.
Mr. Moore kept the floor , insisting
on his right to have the letter road ,
and finally the question was decided
by the house that Moore could road
the communication. Ho prefaced the
reading with a severe rebuke to the
committee , which under the resolution
introduced by him wad instructed to
investiuato the causb of the Omaha
riots and report whether the use of
troops was justifiable. The commie ,
too through its chairman , Bartlett ,
had made a report upon the one-side
testimony of ofliuiala that had called
for and ordered out the militia. No
information was sought from other
parties , no chance was given the
workingmen to present their side of
the case , and the whole burden of
blame is thrown on their shoulders.
It was for this reason a citizen of
Omaha had volunteered to present the
history of the labor troubles from an
unofficial standpoint and it was but
just that the house should receive it.
Mr. Moore then read the following
letter :
To the Honorable Hou e of Efprtscutnlhcs.
As a citizen of Omaha nnd on behalf
of what I know to bo a Intga majority
of the citizens of Omaha and Douglas
county , I respectfully submit for your
information the following statement
concerning the a'legod riots at Omaha.
I was absent from the state on Febru
ary 28th , when the laborers lured by
James Stephenson , contractor for
grading the 13. & M. depot grounds ,
wont on a strike , jxnd had no knowl-
odao of the labor Jroublo until my re
turn to Omaha on the day before the
Labor union paraded in the streets.
While marching through the principal
streets that parade waa as orderly us
any similar demonstration by Masons ,
Odd Follows , or any other benerolont
societies. Among the 2,500 workingmen -
men that marched in that procession ,
fully two-thirds were men of family
nnd owners of comfortable homos , as
law-abiding as any class of citizens in
this ktato.
The main purpose of parade as far
as I could learn was to impress upon
our citizens that the workingmen were
united in support of the demand for
living wages. They had boon assured
that the laborers imported from
Plottamouth would join them in this
demand , and they marched through
the streets adjacent to the depot
grounds in expectancy that they
would make common cause with them
Before the procession had reached th
neighborhood of the B. & M. grounds
the crowd of boys and loafers which
preceded forced their way down upon
the dump and the procession broke
ranks in spite of the efforts of the
loaders , and when a pistol shot was
fired by ono of the imported epocia"
policemen , the whole crowd atam
pedod like a herd of cattle. In th <
stampede three or four persons wcro
knocked down but nobody was ser
iously hurt. The affray lasted loss
than ton minutes and this was the
only riotous disturbance that occurred
in Omaha after the labor union
parade.
The stampede on the dump occurred
between three and four o'clock in the
afternoon , and about 7 p. m. , that
day I was requested by Mayor Boyd
to moot him iu consultation about the
situation. At this conference there
were present Superintendent Hoi
drogc , of the B. & M. , Chas. J ,
Green , attorney of the B < fc M. , and
John . Horbach , a railroad contrac
tor. Mayor Boyd requested mo to
give my views as to the propriety of
calling upon Governor .Nance for
troops. I expressed the opinion
that there weS as yet no neces
sity for military interference ,
I urged Mayor Boyd to
go with mo before a meeting of the
Labor union , which was in session at
that hour , and I advised him to say
to the men that as mayor of Omiha it
would be bis duty to cause the arrest
of every man that pould be identified
as having struck a blow on the dump ,
and furthermore to call upon al
workingmen to aid hi in in maintain-
-
turbance , with the additional notice
that a refusal to sustain him would
make each and all individually liable
as rioters in case of further trouble.
I promised Mayor Boyd I would fol
low him in a speech and urge compli
ance with his request. Mayor Boyd
thought there was no use trying to
pacify the workingmon. Messrs.
Holdrego [ and Horbach declared that
nothing less than military force would
insure safety.
I than urged the mayor to request
Governor Nance to come up to Omaha
and make a personal address to the
workingmen , admonishing them to
maintain order and notifying them
that ho would call out the militia at
the first sign of further disturbance.
This was also opposek by all present.
Thereupon Mayor Boyd telegraphed
bo Governor Nan o that he had ex
hausted his authority and was unable
to suppress the rioters. The sheriff
} f Douglas county was induced to
jign a similar dispatch , although ho
neither personally nor by deputy had
sought to enforce order. On the same
uight a special train was dispatched to
Lincoln and Superintendent Holdrego
with other railroad oflicials induced
the governor to appeal to the provident
fur federal troops. Although not
i militiaman had moved and
lot a single process of the
: ivil authorities wns forcibly resisted ,
the governor assured the president
that the state had entirely exhausted
its military forces in the effort to sup
press a formidable insurrection. This
, va8 on Wednesday , March 8th , but
federal and state troops did not roach
Dmalm until Saturday , March llth.
[ n the interval of more than two days
perfect quiet and order reigned in
- > maha. Lifo and property were as
iccuro 0.1 they ever had been. The
( Moment that n dangerous riot w.s
n progress at Omaha at any time
ifter the governor called out the mili-
ia , Or during their stay in that city is
kbaolutoly unfounded , The troops
vero there not to suppress n riot , but
0 protect workingmen employed by
ho railroad company in caao uneni-
iloyed workingmen should attempt to
nterfere with them.
No proclamation notifying citir.fiis
; hat troops were quartered in Oinuhu
.D suppress riots or domestic violence
vaa issued by the governor , nor did
ilayor Boyd servo notice upon all
loncurned to keep away from the
itreets occupied by the troops. Under
ho city charter of Omaha tha mayor
s authorized to prohibit the sale of
iquor in times of riot , but no action
ras taken in this direction. The sa-
eons wore kept open night and day ,
Sundays and week days , during the
iccupancy of the city by the army ,
> nd the people were exposed to the
tangent from affrays betweendrunkon
oldiers and citizens.
On Sunday , March 12 , the second
lay after the troops were quartered in
) maha , ono G. P. Armstrong , an
god citizen , while under the influence
> f liquor , engaged in a wordy quarrel
rith ono militiaman , and after being
: necked down , was brutally stabbed
o death by another soldier. The
: illiig of this man , whether lawful or
tulawful , ahould have been rigidly in-
'estimated , but the ollicors in com-
rind , when asked to surrender the
soldier that had put Armstrong to
death to the civil authorities , pleaded
ignorance , and up to this day the kill
ing is unaccounted for.
At the urgent request oF the attor
ney general a special grand jury was
ompannoled to indict the rioters , and
indictments were found against fire or
six ollicors of the Labor union and
Trades unions for murderous assault ,
but it transpired on the first trial
that the irrand jury had boon
packed with men supposed to bo
biased agaitst the Labor union met
It was shown that Mayor Boyd said
to ono grand juror who seemed to op
pose the indictments , "Wo made A
mistake when wo put you on this jury. "
The jury tailed to convict , and nobody
in Omaha expects that any of the in
dicted parties can bo convicted. Al
though no apparent necessity existed
for keeping a largo force of troops at
Omaha , they were not withdrawn un
til the men were almost on the point
of mutiny.
Lot mo state in conclusion that
while no reasonable man will oppose
the payment of the militiamen who
responded promptly to the governor's
call , a largo majority of our people re
gard the calling out of the troops as
unwarranted.
First Because the mayor did not
call upon citizens to aid hint in main
taining order.
Second Bccauan the sheriff of
Douglas county failed to act.
Third Because no forcible resist
ance was offered to the civil authori
ties in serving process.
Fourth Because no disturbance oa
curred at any time after the ton min
utes' stampede on the durap.
Fifth Because the governor , with' '
out authority of law , called upon the
president for troops before the militia
had reached the threatened point.
E. HOSIIWATKU.
The reading of this communication
caused a good deal of commotion
among the railroad cappers on the
floor. The house continued the de
bate over the various items in the
militia bill , and considerable reduc
tions were made. The items to pay
the railroad faro of the troops were
allowed in full. The bill was finally
passed as amended and sent to the
senate.
This morning Mr. Moore moved to
have the communication of Mr. Rosewater -
water spread upon the records. This
lead to a reading of the letter by the
clerk , after which Bartlett openodout
with a very bitter speech , charging
Rosewater with fomenting discord
and abetting the strikers in their
ends. The speech made very little
impression on the house , which
clearly saw through its sophistry. A
motion to lay the communication on
the table was lost by n vote of 40 to
19 At noon the debate was still go
ing on with undiminished vigor.
In the senate this morning the tea
timony taken in the Tefft investiga
tion was read. Mr. Tefft them made
a motion that the testimony and the
finding of the committee be spread
upon the record. This was allowed

morning at 8:45 : , in the Tombs , for
the murder of Mary L. Dean , his para
mour , Juno 14,1880.
Mary Donu , n beautiful octoroon ,
20 years old , was married nt 1C , and
deserted by her husband at 19. She
then opened a house of assignation on
Twenty-seventh street. Leighton be
came her lover. Ho wns n light coffco
culor , tall , slender , n great dandy and
a favorite among colored girls , and a
successful barber. Ho became en
gaged to a mullato named Mary Del-
worth nnd quarrelled with Mary Dean
to got rid of her. She forbade him her
house. Hearing she waa endeavoring
to injure him with his affianced by
sanding her information of his past , ho
called on her Sunday evening , Juno
14th , 1880. She refused to lot him in
and came down the high stoop and
talked with him on the pavement. A
quarrel ensued. Ho made threats and
she ran to the top of the stoop nnd
called the police , Leighton ran up
to her , grasped her by the hair , took
out a razor and drew it twice
across her throat , severing the jugu
lar. She fell dea . Ho fled to
Harrison , N. J. , but thpro surren
dered himself. IIo was tried in No
vember , 1880 , and sentenced January
28,1881. Ho appealed and the sentence -
tenco waa affirmed. Ho was again
sentenced to be hung the same day
with William Sindram , but waa re
spited until to-day by request of llov.
W. Morgan , because ho was not spir
itually prepared to die. Mary Doll-
worth visited him frequently and
fainted when parting for the last time
yesterday. Among colored women
who took an interest in Leighton was
a washerwoman , named Margurota
Cordova , for many years a servant of
Peter Cooper's family. She spent
$700 of her hard-earned savings se
curing appeals , delays and respites ,
and promised Leighton to adopt and
give a permanent homo to Mary Doll-
worth.
Leighton slept well trom midnight
until G n. m. Mrs. Cordova yesterday
sent him a now suit of black broad
cloth to bu hanged in. The pants and
vest not fitting perfectly , Leighton
sent them to a tailor's to bo altered.
Ho dressed with the greatest care for
the scaffold , personally superintending
the polishing of his boots. Ho' went
to the scaffold confident ho was fully
prepared , and that ho was a true Ohris-
.ion. He mot death firmly , and with
nuch bravado. His neck was not
jrokon , buc ho died of strangulation.

> f death , bade Leighton farewell at
nidnight , each asking the other to
> roy for him.

lifo. The rope broke on the first trial
