Ono of the most brutal fights whlcl over occurred In this city took placoyos turd ay afternoon on Seventh street , ii front of the Datimark Ijouso. The par llclpants were John Kelly , alias Downs n well-known bully in that part of town and Chris Heed , a German. It floonv that Ih6 two men have lOtig harbored ; grudge ngainst each other , and whci they met yesterday hot words ensued Kelly nindo a pass at Rood , when tin latter gave him a shove knocking hin into a ( loop ditoh half filled with watei which runs in front of the Danmarl house. Uecd then jumped down on tot of his antagonist , and both fell into tin water , which completely covered thorn While down the iium clinched and strug gird until they were both obliged to risi to keep from being drowned. Once 01 their feist , tlio light was renewed , tin men standing up to their knees in watei nnd mud. IJy this time a largi crowd had gathered " to witnes ! the contest. Wicked blows were inter changed for a few minutes , when Kellj suddenly closed on Heed , throw his arm ; about his neck , and inserted his teeth ii his opponent's ear. Holh men struggle ! fiercely-ill each others embrace , but Hoot managed to break Kelly's hold , althougl in doing so ho lost bis car. on which Kwlh kept , a lirm hold with his li-oth. Wher bo saw bis ear was gone , Heed becami furious and swore bo would lay Kollj put. The men squared themselves and i knock-down light occurred. As they tin both of muscular build the blows they delivered livered wore not. light ones , both being knocked oil' their feet several times After the fight had continued" for nearlj : m hour , Heed hit Kelly a frightful blow in the neck , fairly paraly/.ing him. Hi foil into the water and with great dilli- culty succeeded in regaining his feet When ho arose Hood asked him if ho had bad enough , but ho was almost too weal ; to reply and simply nodded his head. The moil wore then assisted out of the ditch by bystanders. They were botli severely punished and presented a pit ! able appearance. Tlioir faces wore bruised and bleeding , their clothing torn , and their whole bodies covcnfd witli mud and slime. With the help of friends thoj were taken to Iho river bank nnd thor oughly washed and their wounds dressed after a fashion. Reed will bo disligureil for life , as the greater part of his ear waf lost in tlio water and Idth at tlio bottom of tlio ditch where the fight occurred. Both men were arrested later in the day and taken to police headquarters , Seed was released after a short confine , moht on his own rccognixanco , but Kollj was hold. It is said that the men have become reconciled and shook hands on the termination of the fight. SUNDAY SERVICES. Trinity cathedral was well filled last night , oh-liio occasion of the first appoar- tvnco lioro of the Rev. Mr. liootli , the rec tor-elect of the new All Saints church , to bo erected in West Omaha. His sermon was a powerful , eloquent exposition of the fourth verso of the twenty-eighth chapter of Mark : "For the earth bringetli forth fruit of herself : lirst the blade , then the ear , after that the full corn in the oar. " "This verso , "said the speaker , "illus trates thu growth of tlio Kingdom of God. This Kingdom is not an invisible thing , but a living , visible society , and we can witness its growth ami development. All through the gospels , Christ compares it to real substantial things , as in the parable of the tree , tlio corn , the mustard Seed. etc. "Iho Savior , when ho formed the church on earth , formed not a mere ab straction , but a real living society , not , of course , fully developed in all its parts , but ready for growth. Ho drew th'e great liucs-of tlio church , and what bo lett un done , he commissioned the apostles to do. Thus we are to believe two things that what Christ ordained is right and un changeable , and that Ids Kingdom the church on earth is of visible , tangible existence. "Tins'growth of the church is natural. It Is like the growth of seed , slow but Steady in development. " The speaker then went on to compare the growth of the small' , ' feeble oak with that of the church. " And finally the church mili tant develops into the church triumph- tint the church victorious becomes the church nt rest. " "It is to bo remembered that these re marks concerning the Kingdom of God apply particularly to the growth ot the Christian church , in early days. " The reverend gentleman then portrayed thogrowthof the early church , the martyrdom of the disciples , the warfare - faro against the apostles and their teachings. " "Tho period of the infancy of the church was the period of her martyrdom. What wonderful life there must have boon in the organization that it diil not iliol What strength that it did not fall ! Hut finally , like the sun comes from behind the clouds , so thu church emerged from the night of its martyrdom to shed glory over alt the earth , f'Tio | growth , of the church means the 'growth of the knowledge of Christ In the minds of men the development of the souls of the disciples. As tlio early church grpy\.nhd thrived under tribula tion , so-tho'soul ' every n-rows to an < > x- rrnndod life under trn h and sorrows. The soul must bo strengdumed with spir itual food. As you feed your bodies , so must you minister to your spiritual life. If you do not this , the result is moral hiii- . . eloquent exhortation to hta hearers , "How beauti ful Is this verse , thu text of my sermon , in itaVimplicwitipa to the spiritual life.

Will Bibbs , a colored barber , was as saulted and severely pounded by a gang of toughs at the foot of Douglas street about 12:30 : la.st.niglit. The whole party had been drinking beer and having a general carousal , when for seine reason they became infuriated at Bibbs.

"I wish yoi could have boon with mo yesterday , hud tlio biggest item the papers have hai in a long time. 1 said to myself at th tlmo , 'what a chance for a nowapapc reporter. ' " Upon being pressed lo tell his story the gentleman related , in substance , th following : _ _ . AS IT WAS TOM ) ME. ' I was riding on a street car , In th north part of town , yesterday , am in the same car was a gentleman win seemed rather nervous. Ho dually tool from his pocket a pencil and paper , am having written something on the sli | asked mo to pass it to the driver As I was about to give it to tin Jehu I noticed that it was simply a re quest that the gentleman bo noliliec when the car reached a certain street and as 1 was to stop at the same corner ] told him I would give him the desired In formation. As the car reached the corner nor wo both alighted , and I asked tin gentleman if I could render him any as sistaneo. Now comes the sensational part of 1113 story. AS THK MAN TOU ) IT. The man confidentially informed me that lie was in search of his runaway wife and did iiot know exactly whore she lived , but it was somewhere within foui blocks of the corner where ho had alight cd from the car. The story he told was : strange one. For years he bad livei happuy with his wife , and three child rot had becji born to them , But one day a handsomer man came along , his wife became - came infatuated with the stranger , am an elopement followed , tlio recreant wift taking tlio children with her. That was- - years ago , and from the time she disap peared until two weeks previous her bus band had hoard 'nothing ' from her. lit became despondent after his wife h'fi him , and soiling out. his business wont west and entered the mines. Fortune , however , favored him , and he suceoedui : in accumulating wealth. Hut ho longi't : for his wife and children , and made over ) endeavor to find them. ins ritir.Nu's STOUV. His first news from his truant wife was received from a former friend whom lit met in the western wilds. Ills friend in formed him that while passing through Omaha ho had met the lady. The cir cumstances of the meeting wore poculiai and sad. Ho said lie was walking along the streets of tile city when he sawn funeral procession. Jt was a lowly one , and only one carriage folio wed the hearse. Jn that carriage- caught a glimpse of a iady whom ' he thought was the woman who had deserted her husband his ' friend. Ho immedi ately niadu tip1 his mind to follow the carriage to its'destination and sec if lie could verify his surmises. Ho acted on the impulse , and at the grave positively identified the woman as the missing wife , lie made himself known to her , and from her lips 'learned the story of her life since leaving her husband. IIIS.WIVU'S STOUY. The man film had clopod with was a certain .John Smith. Together they came to Omaha and settled down as man and wife. At lirst everything was lovely , but finally misfortune- and poverty overtook them , and they led a precarious exist ence. Finally Mr. Smith died , and she was oven then attending his funeral. Slie seemed to regret her rash act which had separated her from her husband , and was willing to ask his forgiveness. I'OUGIVK AND FOUOKT. As soon as possible after hear ing of his wife s whereabouts , the h'usband concluded to go to her in her distress and oiler to take her back and provide for her. Ho had reached Omaha that day , and expected soon to again clasp his long lost wife to his bosom and forgive and forget the past. THE STOUY KNDS. The reporter had listened to the nbova story with considerable intoro.it , and when the gontiuman stopped to take breath ho urged him lo go on to a fmisli. But the gentleman informed him that so far as ho was concerned the story was told. Ho loft the gentleman on tlio cor ner , just starting in search of hia wife , and had not seen him since. TUB FAOTo lii : < JIN. The reporter , however , thought the story too good a one to end thus abruptly , and concluded to make still further in vestigations. The woman went by the name of Smith , she lived within four blocks of a certain corner , her husband had just died , she had throe childron. All those points the newspaperman made note of , and concluded it would be an easy matter to work up. It was still cany in the afternoon , nnd after wading through about five pages of Smiths in the directory , tlio reporter located a num ber of fain lies of that name who lived in the suspected vivinity. Then ho started out on nis tour of inquiry. VI3ITIKG THK SMITHS. Tie reached the designated corner and made a break for the nearest Smith. Children were playing on the veranda when the reporter boldly entered the front gatu. "Does Mr. Smith live hero ? " was the Inquiry addressed to the small specimens of humanity. The reply of "yes11 settled the matter. If Mr. Smith w.is alive ho was not the one the reporter wanted to soe. At the next house the re porter visited his knock was answered by a lady who acknowledged that she was Mrs. Smith. But when the reporter asked if her husband had recently died she uttered a little shriek nnd exclaimed ; "Oh , nvy-iio ; ho just loft mo a few min utes ago , " Several other calls wore fhoii made on viu-ioo * families of Smiths , but not a Smith ! wus found who filled the reporter's billie IIy the time a half-do/.on calls had bci4i > made the afternoon was ended and duykmtss Intervened. After a short rest and rofjvshmont.s the reporter iigatn remiinHi ilhls task , More Mr. Smiths wore fimuif , but till of thorn were aliro nnd In tluYbosoms of their families.

But tlio re- uirtcr eoliuludcil lo follow up thn clue nnd see where it would lead to.

By this time it. was potting Into but nothingdnuntcd the reporter tnulgci on in scareh of the moror of houses. A Inst the place was reached , mi alarn glvon and Iho man aroused from hi ; slumber. Ho was only half awake , bit he answered the inquiries propounded ti him. Ho know Mrs. Smith ; ho niorei the house she formerly lived In , but jus where she moved to ho could not toll llu knew a man who did know , however but ho lived throe or four miles out It tlio country. As near as ho could tell the woman now lived in a certain local ity , which he mentioned. TttlJSKAltClt At ANI > OXr.n. At the mention of the locality the re porter brightened up. It was in tin same neighborhood within four block : of the designated corner in which hi had conducted his search in the after noon. He resolved to make one last des nerato ell'ort to find the undiscoverot Mrs. Smith , A cab was called Into re quisition nnd the above locnllty win again vtalkul. Moro Smiths were ills covered , pulled out of their beds , cato chised , and then left to wonder what. I all mount. But the right Mrs. Join Smith failed to iiialnriall/.o. At last weary , disgusted , and heartsick , the r porter reluctantly abandoned the floarol and relumed to the olllco , nothing no complished and a big paper to fill will news. TIII : SKAUUII itKNKwnn. That there was a big sensation in tin matter the reporter never for nn instant doubted. Ho , therefore , arose early the next morning and renewed the search The man who know where Mrs. Smitl : had moved to was found , and told tin reporter all about it. Slio hud routed u hoitso just four blocks from the cornel which had been taken as a starling point in the search , and was living there with her children. With a joyous heart and n light step tlio reporter quickly reached the place , knocked at the door and was admitted. Mrs. Smith was there and st were the children. The visitor had hit questions all cut and dried , and pro ceeded to propound them. And this is what he found : HOW IT ENDED. Mrs. Smith's husband was dead. Sin had been married before. She had lefl her first husband. She had taken tin children. Jhitsho did not etopo. She had been divorced. Her lirst husband know where she was , all the time , and often visited the children. He resided only a few miles out Of the city. Ho was not rich. lie did not want her to come and live with him again. And the only foitiv dation for the story was that ho had been unable , just like the reporter , to find where she had moved to when her former place of residence was taken to anolliei part of the city. "To be or not to bo that is the ques tion. " This may bo so , but there should be no question as to whether or not to rub when you have rheumatism. Do it at pnco with St. Jacobs Oil.

Mrs. Rebecca Arnstrong , a woman liv ing in the neighborhood of Prospect Hill , was Saturday morning arrested on the complaint of C. A. Baldwin for violating property in the cemetery. She waived examination and was bound over to tlio district court in the sum of § 300 , which bail she furnished. The woman is tlio widow of George Armstrong who was bayoneted to deatli by a militiaman dur ing the riots of ' 83. This case develops some facts sensa tional to a startling degree. For tlio past few months Prospect Hill cemetery has been subjected to a course of vandalism which has well nigh robbed the premises of their beauty. Some liouds with a persistency worthy of bettor application have instituted a system of plunder and willful destruction worse than ghoulish in its conception and inex pressibly liondish in its execution. Flow ers have boon cut by the wholesale , rare blossoming plants and ornamental shrubbery uprooted and carried away or crushed and trampled under foot. Cu pidity , however , seemed the prominent impulse , as the amount of evidently wain- ton destruction did not compare with the total abstraction of plants which oc curred repeatedly. Sickened with the persistent desecra tion of the soil which the dead enshrines before all men of common sensibilities , a number of citi/ens conjoined to ferret out and punish the guilt.y parties , under the statute so providing. A detective was employed at liberal recompense to watch tlio lots of those gentlemen , and the results of his work are almost incredible. It hud been thought that the outrages were com mitted by parties necessarily of a low order of intellect , but the ofiaraeti-r of the culprits whom the detectives caught in the .act struck ama/.ement to the van dal hunters. How could a lady of notably high standing , wealth and in- iluence be arraigned on a charge of pravoynrd vandalism ? What court or iury would entertain against her so loinous an accusation t And yet in pushing the prosecution that is what the gentlemen were called upon to do. i'hn detective from his place of ambush saw upon repeated occa sions ladies alight from their carriage and help themselves to Ilowers from the graves and lots with n de liberation that was astounding. De tection and roprovnl produced varying results. Some wept in humiliation , while others unmoved by Hhamo ilc\y into nn/or and upbraided the detective in the roundest terms. Mean while there were clever fiends who ad vised themselves of the secret service at work and ehoho the night and favorable odcasions for their depredations In a Uiaiincr which defied defection. At last it was determined to arrest the party guilty of the first violation , whether' it bo man , woman or child , without m- gird to race , station , color or other char acteristic. Mrs , Armstrong placed herself - self in the fatal situation and will bo called into court tonnsworfor heroH'imsa. There can bo but little doubt that the ttulloH anoiipmouHly figuring in thoabovo relation of facts , have been guilty through lack of consideration and shcor giioranco of the nature of their perform ances. It is to bo hoped this publication will provo a warning against further re- Mirrences of this worst form of vandal- sm. * * * * Huptnro. pile tumors , flstu' m and udisemsos \ \ of. ilia lo.wor howolti except cancer ) , rapidly cured.

They were compelled to di this as their former place on Dougla street , on account of the rapidly inoreas ing trndo which , by their excellent jrootl , and low prices , they have hold wns entirely too small. Aoordlngly tluv have built tlio handsome four-story brio ! on Hartley , and use every lloor as well a the largo basement. To the loft of tin front entrance is ono of the most , beaut ! fully arranged olllces ever constructed it this city. The east , half of the first Iloo nnd extending half the length of ( hi building is devoted to this purpose. Tin painters , decorators , gas litters ant plumbers all seem to have vied with oaul other in doing the most taseful work. 1 is a beauty , and thn desks , sample oases tables , olc. , built to match the ohcrr finish of tlio olllco , add not i little to its general handsome tip pearaneo. The largo vaults , lei let room , water oloset.s , etc. , an in the rear right hand corner of tin olllco and are so systematically arrange ! that instead of detracting from , they tnlil to , the beauty of the elegant olliees , The front part of the ollleos is devoted ti the display of samples , whore is n largi glass case , containing samples of teas spices , llnvoring extracts , linking pow iler.s , etc. , us well as a full line of sam ples of green and roasted coH'uos , and al the necessary apparatus for drawing ant testing of teas whiuh the firm handle. Stepping from thii olllco one is con fronted with probably the largest pllo ol oofl'co over seen in ono place , sack tipoi : -suck of this popular beverage fill ovei half of the entire lirfct lloor , not. dovoteil to ollicos.

As for teas millieo it U bay < faat this house carries , lnv yond a ipteation of a doubt , tin largest line of every well-known brand in use. A reporter was shown a line lim of samples ot teas from Japan , their own importation , a carload of which will ar rive in a few days. Hugo piles of blueing , inksspices , etc. , belli to fill up the remaining space on tin. lir t floor not taken up by the machinery of which mention will bo made furthei on. Two large shipping doors aflbrd ar. easy exit to the alley , where wagons art constantly being loaded with goods foi all parts of the western country. Ever.y pound of { roods arriving or leaving tin shipping doors has to pass over largi scales , which insures accuracy in then weights. Tlio second floor is reached by eilhet the stairs or Iho large hydraulic freight elevator at the rear of the olliccs. Hero is the extract room , where the most skill ful chemist west of Now York and his assistants are over busy compounding and packing all kinds and grades of Ha- voring extracts. In the roar of this de partment comes the blueing room , where ibis article is manufactured. The outfit hi this room , like all other departments , is complete in every detail , having the necessary tanks , bottle fillers , troughs for washing bottles , etc. Next comes the packing room and order department , in which : m goods kept in stock are made ready for shipment. A large force of boys and girls are continu ally employed in tiiis room in putting up packages of "Clarke's Aurora" and ' 'Clarke'3Kod , Cross" brands ol coll'co. _ The third lloor is devoted almost en tirely to .spices and baking powders , and on lirst thought it looks as if there is onotigh of botli on tliis'one floor to supply the whole western country for years to come , but such is not the case , us the stock is being constantly replenished. The demand for Clarke Bros. & CD'S. goods of all kinds is indeed wonderful. All .lio boxes , cans and labels used by this company are stored on the fourth floor , which has the appearance of a small establishment in its own right. in the basement are stored hundreds of thousands of empty bottles which are destined to contain the blueing and flav oring extracts manufactured by this es * tablishment. Now comes the most important and probably the most interesting feature of this mammoth concern , that is , the ma chinery , which has its origin in the roar portion of the basement , where is seen the motive power , a sixty horse-power engine , which by the usual means , bull ing , operates the various pieces of ma chinery on the st'coiid and third floors , The roasting room on the second floor m the rear of the main building , is built on iron girders , is fire proof and en tirely indopondentof thorostof the build ing lor support. Horn is the largu roast ing and spieo department , which is in the hands of an eastern gentleman who has spent over thirty years in the business. The room contains , among other machinery , coolers , coflee grinders , sitters and roast ers , which have u capacity of turning out a half carload of collee daily , rousted to perfection , In the machinery depart ment , on the next lloor directly uuovo tnis , m another lire-proof room are tlio b iking powder mixers and sifters , also tie root mills , spice mills and sifters , which turn out daily about ! iM)0 ( ) pounds of spices. Without doubt this firm can boast , and no fear of contradiction , of the linost and iniul thoroughly equipped spice mill to bo found anywhere in the west. In fact they have built their own building in order -uoeoniodittu all their new and latest improved machinery , which was put up by Mr. K V. iMvis , the well-known machinist and proprietor of the Novelty works , who , with a num ber of his skilled mechanic , gave the work his own personal attention. All this and much more was shown ti DICK man , through the kindly indulgence of one of the lirm , Mr. Willis K. Clarke , who estimated that they had put In some thing oversow worth of IIKW umchli ory since moving to their new placL'l no linn make a specialty of the sale of their own goods , , consisting of the largest steely of teas and coll'eos anywhere in the west , spices , baking powders , flavoring extracts , laundry blue and last but not least , an eli'gantlinnof Key West invars , und their tr.-ido extends all ov r Nebras ka , Western Iowa , Northern Missouri and as far wc.st ai Salt Lake City , Utah.
