The Supreme Court DeeldcH Against , tlio Ij-ilstonuo ill' Hltuli nu Ollloe Oilier Iiln- . coin NOWH. A Br.j ? reporter called on L. C. Hurr yesterday on ids return from Kear ney. Ho sat in Ids ollice and as the re porter approached him ho beckoned him to a chair. Tn reply to the question how ho had been received at Kearney , ho said that there was no cxcltumont so far as ho could judge. Ho got in Kearney Tues day night at 0 o'clock and left the next morning early. Ho wont before a justice of thu peace and gave the bond of $1,000 , required of him , it being furnished upon tin ! credentials of ids brother C , C. Hurr , and John II. Clark of the First. National bank. Mr. Hnrr looks careworn , His usual jaunty and solf-conscious air lias deserted him , and he doubtless fuels that he has made a move which will cost him rather dear. Ho appears to feel very bit- tur against thu attorney-general , and de nies that ho ever threatened to injure in any manner that oilleial. Hurr rjaid that the Zimmerman case was entirely a charily ono , and that ho tookIt at thu solicitation of Warden Nobcs , of thu pun- ituntlary , and some others who had In terested themselves in Zimmerman's be half. According to his statement , Hurr lias never received any money to speak of out of the case , but has run it entirely for glory. Ho feels now that the glory which attaches to his nanio is of a rather negative character , but he will not admit it. He said that Deputy United States Marshal Hastings went with him to Kearney , but that he was not informed of the purpose of the trip until after they had left Hastings , where pas sengers lor Kearney change cars. It was ovci- game of cards that Mr. Hurr first unliglilonud Mr. Ilastingsas to the work which would be required of him when the. train reached Kearney. 'I'hero is no record that Mr. Hastings interposed any objection to the. proceedings , but , like it lamb , he obeyed the bolicsts of the attor ney. Imrr d'enies that Saville , the com missioner , was drunk when thu proceed ings weri- had , while Hastings declares directly the contrary. Burr believes iu putting n good faeo on the mutter and ho takes the injured inuocense dodge ; to make people believe that he was only working enthusiastical ly for IIH ! client under thu laws of the United Slates. When asked about the bond of ifi,000 , which was given , he rather hesitated , and then said that Ed Zimmerman , brother to thu criminal , bad sworn that he owned property to the value of § , 1,01)0 ) , over in Wyoming. It was a ranch , Mr. Hnrr said , but tlie loca- tie i he could not make definitely. He believed that it was at the head of some creek , and that the water right was thu principal value which attached to tlio premises. There were horses and cattle on the ranch , but Mr. Hnrr did not know bow many. The location is nowhere near the ranch owned by Judgu Dnndy , and so far as could bo discovered from Mr. linrr's conversation there was a vagueness and delicious uncertainty about tlio location of Zimmerman s property in Wyoming which if anything makes it more valuable in the eyes of a credulous public. The water right is the principal value , but the crook's name is not known. It is thought that it is the Wyoming branch of bait creek. The fact Is that thu bond was worthless even if Zimmerman's brother did own property in Wyoming , which there is no reason to believe he does , for under the law tlio security has got to be in the county whore the bond is taken , and further , thu crime of murder is not bailable in Nebraska or the United 1 $ . Stales , consequently any bond given even by responsible parties would bo absolutely void and no recovery could bo had on it , TUB COUNTY ItKOISTKItS. Tn tlie supreme court yesterday mornIng - Ing tlio court denied the writ of manda mus in the case of the state ox rul Hod'vs J. W. MoClulland. This vvas a case to coniDul the county clerk of Nance county to give notice of election of a register of deeds for that county , thu election to be November : ) , IBSj , the same being the general state and comity election. In denying the writ the courts hold that no such olheo as register of deeds exists ; that the pretended act of the legislature creating such an ollieo never passed that body and that thu county clerks in the ditlbrent counties have no author ity' to publish iiottcu for the election an any person to such position. This ulVect.s all candidates n".Uijh ( ° ul tlio state whether thu county Imsl.miO . or 15,001) ) or ftnv number oMu- habitants. The dispute has boftli on mm matter over thu nuinbor of inhabitant * n county should contain before electing n register of deeds , but the miproinn court has done away with all thu quibbling in the opinion just rondeivd. The only law creating a register is thu one widen has boon brought to the notice of the court in the case , and thu judges having decided that no such ollicu was created by the legislature the peoplu have no other al ternative than to permit the county clerk of the dill'erent counties to do thu work as ho has heretofore , and the register's ollice isulvigotlier an imaginative creation and thu salary of thu same is a delusion and a snare , TUB IIONI ) QI'KSTION. The citl/.uns of Lincoln aru cautioned that certain unscrupulous persons nro bringing in residents who live in the country , outside of thu corporate limits , and having thoin register , so that they can vntu in favor of the Missouri Pacilio bond wjhcnio. and somu say that many from ( iiirliold precinct , which is the precinct - cinct that encircles thu city in thu shape of iv horFi'shou , have jmt their names ( low as legal voters. The people must remember that every crooked device that the old-time gang can call to their aid will be resorted to , and it is thought doubtful if a fair and Mrietly legal votu can be had. Tom Kennard is around button-holing every one , and lie attacks laborers and mechanics with his oily talk hi favor of thu bonds , Thu statement ho made tint hu was uot in terested is too gau/.v for anyone but mi idiot to bolievu , ami thu fact that hu does nothing without a large rcconimsnsu shows plainly that the Missouri Pacilia will be willing to divide uu the prospec tive $ r > 0,000 , among thu inside parties , and that thu road does not wish to have thu whole amount in order to induce it to outer Lincoln and have a good thing.

At thu Advontl&ts'camp meetingunder the management of Elder Cnmioy , no converts as yet have appeared , indeed Mr. Cndney Is opposed to religious ex citement and believes in the voicu of reason and argument to piirsuadu un believers , 'Jhu elder Mirtirised his audience a night ago by stating that a largo per cent of the pruachcrs nowadays were acting a ministers merely for thu mono * ) ( here was in it. and taking a $10 bill from pocket he laid it on ihe Hible , nnd siu !

Considerable fun was created yester day at the uapitol building by a lady calling on one of tlio deput state ollicors and asking him in a very loud voice if he was the man who was going to show her around Ihu town ( meaning the bni'ding. ) Thu officer was surprised at thU break' , but cooled down when ho learned thai n wag in another part of the building had put up the job and had in formed "tlio woman that he was the custo dian of the building.

A. .Stevenson , the recently ap pointed governor of Idaho , was in the city Wednesday , homeward bound from Washington with his commission. He was met and conversed with by a UUP. reporter at the Paxton hotel last even ing. Mr. Stevenson is u resident of Uoiso City and has lived in the territory moro than twenty yoiira. Ho was , , in consequence , the popular candidate for governor with his own peoplu as it is inherent with the territorial heart as much as in the Irish breast to clamor for home rule. He succeeds Hon. William M. I'rown , a Phil adelphia gentleman , appointed under the old regime. Mr. .Stevenson narrates an interesting circumstance of his ap pointment. . I'hero was a riiih for the ollice and applications were. Hooded upon the executive at an overwhelming rate. Mr. Cleveland wearied of theauuoyaucc , and selecting three for choice , summoned them to Washington for inspection. Mr. Stevenson is an honest , homespun jip- pcaring man of apparently some sixty years ; he is engaged in miixlng , laud speculating and ditching , and is one of Idaho's wealthiest citizens , lie says that , although the territory is in a llour- jshing condition , and is rapidly increas ing in population nnd political import ance , it is not quite ready io demand ad mission into the sisterhood of states.

In addition , Seventeenth street , from Farniun to St. Mary's avenue , Eighteenth from Farnam to Hartley , Nineteenth from Farnam to Hartley , and Twentieth from Farnam to Howard will bo graded. The grading will require the removal of about 00,000 cubic yards of dirt. North Seventeenth , from Paul to ( Jrncc , Ayill also lie graded ; 15.0UO cubic yards of dirt will bo removed. Hurt street from Twenty-third street to a point 81)0 ) feet west of Division street. This grading will call for the removal of 10,000 yards of dirt. "This grading will be commenced this year.

Two well-known young men about town became involved in a little dilliculty last evening at Ed Leeder's saloon , the cause which led to the trouble being the leg of n fricass'jcd fowl. In company with a few convivial companions they had been taking in the city , and were about to go home when they stepped into Leeder's to have something to eat. t'h'ekc'i ' was ordered for the party , and while it was being devoured tlio young men indulged in playful sculllcs. Uurin * * ; one of the o encounters , a chicken's leg was acci dentally knocked from the hand of one of the boys , and he became instantly olleuded and ollurcd to light the man who deprived him of his appetizing morsel. Tlio challenge was accepted by tlio oll'cndcr and the party adjourned to the sidewalk to light it out , when the police put in an appearance and Mopncd thu mill. The yoiinggeutleman who lost his supper by tlio tran aetiou endeavored to liiui it again , but his cllorts had been for.stalled by another member of the parly who did not indulge in the mill but stopped and ate the chicken , leavmgonly the bone. _ Tony Donicr's "Huinply Diimpty" The next attraction to appear at ISoyd's opera house will bo Tony Uonier's fa mous Pantomime Troupe on Saturday afternoon and evening.

Only a part of the latter rooky island is sub merged. A largo portion of iU hard , bleached turtle-buck basks above the boiling tyntars which lave its sides. There will be six or seven times as much dyna mite and rend-roek i > owder exploded on Saturday morning as there was on tlio memorable Sunday seven or eight years since , it seems impossible to escape tlio conclusion that the dry turtle-back of the rock will I.IIAV INTO Tim AIU and take n look around the horizon to a distant" : ! of thirty miles or so on every side at least before it begins its capricious and probably dovastatiiigdescent. There are no means by which the range of these terrilio fragments can bo calculated. No computation within the range of mathematical dynamics can u > liinilu : either the force or the direction of the jragmens ! , or whether they will be largo in si.uveighing tons , or whether small in sine , weighing pounds Anybody who has seen an ordinary blast or had a hun dred weight or so of stone come through the walls of his house in consequence of the caivle.ssness of quarrymcu knows how Hutu confidence to put in the good behavior of even an infant blast , 'lliere will bo many hundredweights of dyna mite and "rend-roek" used in Saturday morning's blast. When this enormous mass of the most powerful explosive ma terial known to chemistry is Hashed oir , people within a , mile or two's range will be apt to KKHl' AN EYE OX TUB SKIKS for the descent of possible fragments. When tlio back of Flood lloelc shoots madly into the air , a tierce paroxysmal spasm will shoot through the rock-ribbed foundations of upper Now York and Now Jersey. So that the impending con vulsion at 1/Ipod Hock is likely to resem ble a Vusnvitiii emotion in'one aspect and an able-bodied earthquake in the other aspect. While tlio sky-kissing fragments are paying their respects to the roofs of houses along the New York and Astoria shores , what will the radiate , lateral , underground quiver be doing with their foundation ; ) ? The reply is , that nobody knows nobody can even ap proximately tell. Wo shall all have to wait and see to wait and see to hope for the best , but to take every precaution for safety. Lieutenant Derby , the superin tendent of the mining operations at Flood Hock , said on Friday , according tea a reporter : "No injurious oft"ectare expected , but it is always well to be on the safe side. It would be much belter for a man to take down his French pier glass and lay it on the lloor a dozen times than to have it shaken down once. " Being asked if the report was not like ly to be much louder than the explosion ot'Ilullett's Heof , Lieut. Derby is report ed as saying : "Yes , probably because part of the rock is out of water , while the other was entirely submarine. Tlio pieces will lly also biit not beyond a thousand feet. " LIKirniNANT UKUtiY IS NOT ALAltMIST , but it is not so safe to avow that he does not err in the opposite extreme which is the more dangerous of the two extremes. It is wider and more humane to advise measures of caution than to encourage a ff-elingof security which does not exist. The fragments "will lly" he admits , but he knows no more that the child unborn whether they will lly live hundred , two thousand or live thousand feet , whether they will drop like a shower of Titanic hailstones into the East river , or come prone through the roofs or burst through the sides of dwelling houses in Astoria or tlio adjoining New York shore. Nor can he tell nor anybody else toll whether pier glassess or walls or WIIOI.K IIOIJSHS WIW.

Along this rocky ridge , as sensation courses all along thu human vertebral , the 'irmiiiu.K riJi-SATiox wir.r , SHOOT , and if Rome houses be toppled down along with the pier-glasses which they may happen to contain , nobody could bo greatly surprised. Hear in mind , the human imagination has never heretofore lioeii called to wfcsllo with more than one-seventh of the same quantity of con centrated energy , and we are utterly without e.xamplesor formulas by which to KdHMATH ITS KKbl'J.T.S. A Mercury reporter yesterday crossed thu ferry from Ninety-second street , New York , to Astoria , and took a look at the doomed island , known to navigators as Flood Rock. Above its scarred , polished back , like home Vulcan linger of Fate , pointed the smoky shnftnnd its oily black gearing , while as from a hi ; ; wound in its side , the dirty water , urged by the un seen pumps below , ran a heavy -.Iream. AS tint ferry boat panted and groaned pa t the unpleasant looking place , the re- iio.'ter noticed n tall , wiry , sunburnt man leaning over the rail of the boat ga'/ing eagerly at the shaft , thegeariutr and thu stream of water from thu big pipe. When the boat reached A-loria the stran ger walked slowly along shore till he was opposite Flood Rook and began to ga/o with renewed energy and * concentration. He told thu reporter that he was from tlio west recently , but a WcKhman by birth. He had been a quarryman and been accustomed to onAiUiK BLASTS WITH ro\Yiuit : when a mere hoy. lie had been oversee ing the old folks and the old neil and sampling leeks from the old garden. He had left hooner than he intended , because he wanted to reach New York before October t , when the Flood Uouk Must was billed to burst. Ho had been disap pointed , but ha made up Ids mind to re main here till the .show ciime oil' . Ho Bald ho wotdd ruthur see it than a million circuses or almost a million of any other kind of shows. "How do yon c\pect It will act ? " asked the reporter , "Act ! " he said , his blue-gray eye twinkling. "Why , that there island will just spring tip Into the air qnieker'n tviv- thing you ever saw in your born i av * . and you bet vonr last cent she'll ju.st give things round here atwislundnomistaku ; she'll give. THIXO * A TWIST AND NO MlSl'AKK. " Heing asked if he thought there would be much of a shake-up In New York , with the inwllncl of u miner accustomed to follow hides nnd veins , he said in sub stance that he was pretty sure that the blast would occasion something of a panic. He said Unit , for his part , he In tended to look nt the explosion frolu the New York shore , but he ' 'wouldn't stand near any tall house on thu heights over yonder. And if my wife'n family lived in any other upper .stories over yonder I'd see they were down and out a nice eomfor'nblo time before she was touched oil' . An' I'd toll lhr > nt to keep a sharp lookout for tlie skyrocketing jiieees com ing down , you can gamble ; nnd I'd till the neighbors to do likuwl.iii , for you can not always just tell for sartin WHAT'S ( JOIN * TO U.M'I'KN when you put ever so many hundreds and hundreds of thousand rounds of dyn amite into the inside of a big lump of rock like that there little island Justin front of us. Hut you can gamble on't that it'll , ju t spring up into the air qnieker'n anything you'vo ever seen in your time , and no mistake. " Whim the reporter left ho was still { raz ing : is if fascinated at the black-looking debris-covered island with the young earthquake slumbering beneath. As the scribe crossed the ferryboat to New York he reflected that there might be some wisdom in the western miner's advice. People living along the shores adjoining the mammoth blast will do well to read , mark , learn and net upon Ids advice. There can bo no harm in taking obvious precaution * , but. there may bo danger in neglecting them. MISSIONARY CONVENTION. at. IllllOOln. The Woman's Home and Foreign Mis sionary society of the Lutheran synod of Nebraska met in their sixth animal con vention in St. Murk's Lutheran church of Lincoln , Nob. , Wednesday evening of last week.
