event largely attended by prominent rep
resentatives of the Hebrew society. The
Parlm festival was celebrated in the same
way throughout the country last night ,
lor the first time In this clty.Bof ore passing
io the subject of the event Itself , it may
bo'wcll to mention the
FESTIVAL OK THB 1'UHIM.
The feast of Purlin , which U , In the
book of Esther , stated to moan loin , from
the lots which Hainan , the potsccntor of
the Persian Jowa In the reign of Xerxes-
Ashasuarus , h d cast to dostrJy all the
JOWB of the realm on ono certain day , IB
annually celebrated as n dny of tojolcing
nnd merriment among Israelites. From
the time of the institution of this feast ,
about the fifth century before Christ ,
to our days It has not failed to rouse
feelings of plosauro nnd happlnoaflin
-Jewish hcarta. Amoag the many festal
days specially designated in the old
"Roll of the Fails , " as such on which
no ono must hold n , fast , even for Individ
ual devotion , the feast of II nnkknk and
Ptitlm have mot with the readiest ac
knowledgment , and those two have re
mained yet as the only aurvivora of the
long Hat recorded thoio , Pnrlm Ins atill
a strong hold on Israalltos everywhere.
The chief feature of Hi celebration is the
public reading of tha book of Esther ,
formerly written on parchment s.rolls ,

tions to ono another and of ohaiitablo
gifts to the poor , ta lot them rejoice
along with the wealthier and thoio mora

vorco OotHiml
News.
Yesterday afternoon the jury In the
Orabno ciso totutncd a verdict , finding
the defendant guilty of murder in the
second degree. The verdict was raturncd
after an hour nnd a tnlf deliberation
From the fitst there was no doubt in the
mind of any man on the jury thai Orabno
was guilty , and the point to bo settled
was whether ho tltonld rccolvo a sentence
for murder in the first or second
degree. Ono man on the jury was In fa
vor of hanging him , while the other
eleven thought that the fast of the evi
dence being largely circumstantial should
mitigate the novorlty of the punishment.
Hence the verdict. Grabno himself ,
when told of the fact , appeared to bo
very much relieved , as , it Benin , ho has
boon nfrald sluco his first arraignment
that ho was to bo banged. Mrs , Klusa's
trial will ba token up this week , just
when is not oiaotly known.
The history of the case ia too well
known to require anything but the brief-
oat rovlow. On the 29th of December
John Orabno , husband of Lnslna Klusa ,
was found In an tmcont clous condition ,
lying In the roar of his hens ? , at the foot
of a long flight cf stairs. His log was
broken and his hold had been split open ,
evidently by oomo chirp instrument. Ho
was taken Into the house , and the next
day was removed to the hospital , where ,
in a few days , ho died. Mrs , Klusa , and
Grabno , her supposed paramour , wcro In
the meantime arrested. Both deny any
complicity in the affair , and say that
Khna had Icon drunk and had fallen
down stairs. It was proven , however ,
beyond a doubt that Grabno had boon
entity of unlawful Intimacy with Mra.
Klusa , and that both had been in the
habit of quarreling with the husband.
The supposition that Khun had detected
the pair In tlagranto dollcio , and that
they had rushed upon him
when dottctcd in their guilt was berne
out and strengthened by the additionally
accumulating evidence which finally
proved couviotimr. Therj is but little
doubt that MIB "Kluta wi 1 rccolvo a sen-
tcnca equally severe with that of Grabno.
Before Judge WaVoloy the case of Mr * .
Margaret Elliot va the city of Omsha Is
on trial. Mrs. Elliott snca the city for
damages alleged to have been sustained
by the action of defendant in tearing up
and not replacing a beard tidevralk ad
jacent to her property.
SUES FOtt DIVORCE.
M. W. Onrtie , of Omaha , sues for dl-
vcrca from his wife , Melissa Curric , or
the grounds of abandonment. Plaintiff ,
in her potltion , alleges that ho was mar
rlod to his wife at Wappalo , Iowa , tn
1870 , that he has always treated her as
a husband should a wife , but that in 1882
she deserted him without cause , and entered
terod upon a llfo of shamo. She Is now
an outcast and seems to prefer so to ra
maio , although ho lias ropentodly offered
to taku her bick into hi a heart and
homo.
UNITED STATES COTJKT.
Judge Dandy went to Lincoln yesterday
day , and will examine the acsounts o
Marshal Blorbowcr in formal session o
the United States court. Other mine
matters , such as motions , etc. , will also
bo disposed of.
Lost week Deputy Marshal Allen
served two attachment writs against the
property of Gross Brs. , dry goods men
of Madlaon , Neb. , one of $1800 from
Marshall Field & Co. , the other of § 100
by Colm Bros. , of Chicago. It appear
that the members of tbo firm , which hai
been failing for smo tlmo , in eider t
escape attachment sulta filed by eastern
, creditors in the United States court , con
- feased judgment in favor of local allege '
. creditors , who wcro ic'atlvca. It IB sup
; poaod tint this stop WAS but a ruse to escape
capo eastern creditors and hence , 01
, writs issued in tbo United States court
Deputy Marshal Allen secured the property
, orty , which ha now holds panding tb
decision.

promise ,
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Howe , of the
firm of Sander , Howe & Co , commission
merchants , filed complaint in the police
court against E. A. Wallace , the junior
mambor , charging him with embezzling
; $400 of the money of the firm. Ho had
boon appropriating , it waa alleged , mon
ies received from outside correspondents ,
instead of making duo account thereof
and turning them into tbo general fund.
Officer Cormick was given the warrant
for Wallace's arrest , but before he could
soivo it Mr. Sander , of the firm , came to
Jndge Benoko and requested the with
drawal of the complaint. He said that
Mr. Wallace bad heard , in some way , of
the discovery of his pocu'atioa ' and the
intention to prosecute. Ho had prom ,
( sod to Immediately tot to work and re
fund the amount which he had appropri
ated as scon as possible. Accordingly
the nutter , thus temporarily compro-
nilsed , Is In statu quo.
Wallace is a bright , energetic young
nun , and thl/j shortage Is probably due tea
) a falling of weakness rather than to In
herent dishonesty. It la pretty well
known , however , that his tendencies are
"fadt. "

Council Bluffs Correspondence ,
The election yesterday was a great tri
umph for the people , and demonstrated
clearly that Iho citizens had become nau
seated ever the acts o ! the present ad
ministration , nnd had determined to de
feat any aspirant for cflicowho nni even
suspected with being tainted with the
Yaugh&n faction , GooJ men who , tinder
the circumstances might have boon
elected , wcro defeated because Vaughan
supported them. While the defeated
ticket waa known technically as demo
cratic , yet practically it wai looked
upon M n Yaughan ticket , while
the republican ticket became
the people's ticket , and received
the Biipport of good democrats , as wollna
the support of republicans. The elec
tion pi sees Chris Straub In the council ,
and defeats Blacxslm , ia the third ward.
It elects E.L Shugart and defeats Brocks
Reed In the fourth. Rood among his
many friends was known ai nnti-
Vaghnn , through nnd through , but
among those who did not know him bo
was naturally looked upon with suspi
cion because Yaughan supported him in
preference to Shugart , though ho kcnw ho
nad little to hope from either one. Reed
comes out of the fight cloancr than any
other of the defeated candidates. His
chief purpotc.was to BCD that come proteo
lion ytiis given citizens living weat
of the creek , nnd as Mr. Shugart hns
given assurance that ho will exert himscll
to tint end also , ho tikoj the defeat in
good nature.
For alderman at largo , John Bennett ,
the present county treasurer , is electee ]
ever Murphy a glorious ttiumph indeed ,
as Murphy was looked upon as saturated
with Yaughanlsm.
Although this gives the republicans a
majority in the council , they got It by
the help of good democrats , and it is
looked npon not to much as a pirty vic
tory. The mombeas of the connci
holding ever are Sledentopf , Mynstor

CHICAGO , March 2. Speaker llaiuo. ' , of the
Illinois legislature , arrived hero Sunday night
and has been In comulUtion sinca with a num
ber of democrats. From the remarks dropped
by htm it is believed that ho contemplates at <
tempting another sensation in the senatorial
balloting this week which Is none other than
to urffo himself hard for the senatorial nomi
nation and to declare that the 102 democrats
now in the joint session constitute n legal
majority since the death of Representative
Logan , An Inspired editorial in the "Chi
cage Times" taking this cue gives color , to the
rumor. This editorial makes the eptciotis
pi oft that 102 votes would sulDco at this junc
ture ; that It constitutes n quorum and that
the democrats , can , If they desire have abso
lute control , even though not a republican
answers to the roll call , Mr. llaines' declara
tion as he left Springfield was : "Things have
got to bo brought to n crisis on Tuesday. " As
an evidence of the purpose of the democrats
to keep the lines ilrnwn , several republicans ,
who had onteuded journeying to Washington ,
ftlloil to join cither of the two delegations
from this city which have cot out for the cap
ital , although they had completed arrange
ments to do so. This is supposed to mean
that the 102 democrats will be present at the
roll call on Tuesday moinlng. If tbo demo
crats proceed to act upon the assumption that
their numbers are snllictont to elect , the fi.ct
remains that the party Is not yet solid for the
CAUCUS nominee , but has tboon demonstrated
that Morrison lias n sutficiontly large persons !
following to defeat nny attempt to break his
lines , at least beoro ho has once received the
full party vote , so that in any
event it Is not all assured tbat the
election would result oven the alternative ,
that the democrats should nssumo to possess
the power to elect.
Doth Morrison nnd Gen , Palmer in addition
have openly expressed the opinion that it still
requires 103 votes to elect. The fact , however -
over , is certain from the facts developed hero
to-day that If it rests in the ability of Mr.
llaines to create a sensation growing out of
the present condition of affairs ho will not
hosltato to do to. Gen. Palmer has becon-o n
frequenter of the lobbies of the house duricg
the joint Bosslon nnd Is dally aeon around the
Luland hotel , Mr. Streotor In voting for him ,
poems ts have struck the spark which aroused
the latent hopqs of the old warrior and advo-
cnto of states rights. His friends in Springfield -
field Bay that it is not possible for Mr. Morri
son to hold out longer than twenty days and
that Mr. Palmer's name will then bo offered
n caucus.
THE GOLD BUG TO AVER.
CtKVKLAND's ANTI-8II.VEH LKWEB CONDEMNED.
WASHINGTON , March 2. Judge Regan
makes a statement of the whole subject mat
ter at issue between the stiver men in congress
and Mr. Cleveland in which ho characterizes
come of the lattor'a declarations as most extra
ordinary and astonishing. The judge con
eludes his discussion of the question as fol
lows : "Tho people of this country know , what
ever the bankers and bondholders may think ,
that this is an cfiort to subordinate the inter
ests of the American people to a class known
as bankets and bondholder ? , and to compel the
democratic president and democrats In con
gress to adopt and carry out the very policy
for the carrying out of which the republican
party was beaten and turned cut ol
power. That party waa the too
of corporations and money rings ,
and It was beaten for being so , and the demo
crats do not propose to take up the old clothes
of the republican party where they threw
them down , The country has not yet for
gotten that in 1878 , when congress waa trying
to restore silver to clrcu'atlon ' and to prevent
the retirement nnd cancellation of legal tender
der notes , the banks , in order to prevent this ,
contracted the volume of currency nearly
§ 10,000.000 in about three weeks , threatening
a monetary panic for the purpose of IntimI
dating congress and the president , and to pre
vent the passage of a measure which the besl
interests of the country required ; and they
would have produced a panic if the secretary
of the treasury had not thrown considerable
money on the market to buy up public eocuri
tlos and furnish the necessary circulation.
It is stated that they are now threatening
another panic if they cannot succeed in wha
they want. It Is to be hoped congress wil !
ansiver thorn byrepealing the law authorizing
the charter of banks and control the volumes oi
money , or , at least , lake from them the privi
lege of issuing currency and controling its
volume , We can safely dispense with na
tloual bank notes by establishing in the ! ;
place an equal amount of treasury cotes In
atead , which would bo crrvlceable for all taxei
and dues , and redeemable in coin at the will o
the holder , and which , though not legal ten
der , would bo first-class commercial pape
and would have exactly the qualities tkat thi
national bank notes now have. "

NKW YORK , March 2. There is bad no *
for turfmen , Betting on racea at two Cone
island courses IB to bo abolished. That mean
dltoitcr to many horse owners , who have I
consequence of last season's wonderful brill
nozs of business on these tracks made arrang
meats for devoting themselves next summer i
this rich field. Coney Island has been a plac
with laws unto Itself. However , by torn
hook or crook , the Brook'yn authorities hav
jurltdlctlon therr , and there are those tbi
decree tbat pool selling muit cease , Tl
Coney island jockey club bad come to take tb
place made vacant when all gambling excet
that of bookrnaking was suppressed ut Jeroii
park. The fashionable folks , profession
gamblers , Walt street brokers , an
the great throng that go to tits race
to bet a few dollir * on tbe result * al
transferred their allegiance to the Cooe
IsUnd track , and it became tlui most proepo
ous of all eastern racing placed. The urofi
of tbo afioclation have been very great , and
they have bten able , therefore , to offer very
a'.tractive puriea , and to make it very plea *
ant frr the patrons of the track. The
fold frequently nmountcd in the nggirgate to
31(0 00(1 ( a day , and the races attracted the
troit skillful book maker * , nnd the most
ftdroit gambler * , that frequent our tracks.
The utmost order mid dso > riitn vero obcorvod.
IVnlwbly if the Coney Island Jockey club
< mf the oiily raMng association on the itlnnd ,
the peed folks of Brooklyn would not have
rum ! a rumpus , but the Brighton Bench ss
dociatlon bfg.m opoiatiocs nirl then com
plaints began to pour In. The races on this
track defy description of companion. Thcro
M nothing like thtin elsewhere in
this broad land. They are tun to
make money and for DO other rerson , and
there ts all totts.of trickery and hippodromlng
from the beginning of the race day to the end
of it. Betting is fist and furious like the
pace of the horec. * , nnd the pool-sellers and
book-makers are up to every artifice that is
known to man to beat the man who putn in
his cjuh. Older IK not preserved , and there
is a demoralizing air of sin , vice and crime
about the plico. Women , and there are
many of them there that are not from the
Christian houses of Urook'vn or the aristo
cratic a\cnucs ot Now York. They are
spotting women and they bet with
count freedom nnd abandon ns do the men.
They are on thn lookout for adventures
nnd for victimt , The track deserves some of
its bad reputation , but not all , though it has
been bad enoiuh to furnish some ground for
complaint , and the authorities have decided
that the law of gambling , uhlch in Now York
Is now very strict , must bo observed , To that
end the place on Coney Island , where n few
days ago pool-sellers wore selling on the Now
Orloann races have been closed , the proprie
tors arrested nnd fined , and a general warn
ing has boon given to nil racing associations ,
that n like fate nwaits the first man who sells
an auction or mutual pool. Games ot chnnco
are nil to ba surprosied , nnd objectionable
houses are to bo closed. In short. Coney
Island is to bo run this year on strictly moral
principles ,

has been trifling , as only eight cargoeu ar
rived. Three cargoes were will drawn , ono
sold nnd eight remain , six of which are Amer

nominal. Sellers' quotations nro slightly
lower. At to-day'a market wheat was quqt-
ably unchanged. There was nothing doing in
native sorts. Flour Cd cheaper and foreign
brands are slow of sale ,
