Member ( jibbon Kiilmiitlcd a hitter
which IKS had leeeived from Mrs. W. 1 $ .
Kmilh protesting against'tailing the lil'th
and ; fxth grades out of tliu Central
Hchnol , na it would compel a number of
children living in the vicinity of that
cchool to lose nearly all the winter term ,
ns the distance they would be obliged to
walk to another school would no too
great. The reading of llio letter created
considerable discussion , and a motion
was made by Member Gibbon that the
vote taking tlio said grades from ( lie
Jligh school building bo reconsidered.
J'ho motion carried , and it was then
niovcd that the matter be referred to the
committee on teachers and text books.
Member Long opposed thin move , sujing
tliut it was hign time that' the grades
were taken from the school anil the
rooms devoted to the use of the High
school .scholars exclusively. Thcro were
] argo numbers of children attending tlio

Secretary Connoyer mndc n statement
that after the bills already allowed had

A Il8tli { * ulHlie < l Mormon TalltH.
Hishop Sharp , of Salt Lake , one of the
former pillars of the Mormon church ,
uporintondcnt of the Utah Central
railway and a director of the Union Pa-
cilic , arrived in the city yesterday on his
wny east. Ulshop Sharp is the Mormon
Apostle who startled the world by plead
ing guilty and quietly submitting to a
fine for polygamy , in the United States
court of Utah.
A reporter sought him yesterday at bis
private car , side-tracked at the Union
Pacllio depot. The Bcribo was met by
the announcement on the part of the dis
tinguished gentleman that ho preferred
not to say anything in regard to the
Bitualion in Utah , inasmuch ft" the
trouble was not yet over , ami ho himself
was so elos-ely connected therewith that
It would not bo prudent to express him-
BcH on the mattler.
The iunniiltor took another tack and
questioned the bishop about the condi
tion of the Utah ( . 'onU'nl. " i ho joad is
not exactly in a satisfactory uomutiau at
present , " he said , "although 1 think the
outlook is bright. We completed some
time ago the construction of EOIUO IM )
miles of branch truck to the Horn silver
mines , MO miles from Salt LuKe City.
Just about as the road was in operating
eondijton , and the mine was ready for
warning , the top eavud in and spoiled all
our plans. A l.SW ) iVet shaft is to bo
iinitilied shortly , and I anticipate that
then the branch will Inivo plenty to do
in hauling the ore. Yes. the Utah Cen
tral is a branch of the Union Pacific to
the extent that one-half of its stock is
controlled by that road. "
Hishop. Sharp was hero again ones-
tioned about the situation In halt Lake
City , nnd consented to answer a few iu-
offtsiiHlyu questions bUarlng upon that
topic * * , . ,
' Tlio eK0Jt inciit aver the prosecution * .
of the United States government is deep , "
liu said , "nnd it is spreading ) Prosecu
tion I sriy , though its jbu suggest , .from
the Mormon. Mandpoint , < it U persecution.
Tlio trinh for this term of the court are
over with , but the grand jury is still taking
* *
ing evidence. "
nls it true. Bishop , thatyonr courpo in
pleading guilty to a charge of polygamy
nnd paying a line therefor , ha gained
for you the enmity of the elders of the
church and your former friends ? ' '
"Yes , " he returned , with a quiet - mlle ,
"it is quite true. Friends witn whom I
have associated for a lifetime men with
whom I have long been linked in church
work , have turned on mo. I am now
cotnpaiulively ostracised. Hut 1 acted
according to the dictate" ? of my con
science. and ju t ns , in all wisdom , 1
should nave acted. My letter , \vldeh I
publ shed at tlie time , explains my position
exactly. 1 do not renounce m.y religion
or any part thereof. 1 simply give up the
practice of polygamy beeaiise the United
states' laws for bidniy indulging in it any
longer , At long as 1 am a eiti/.eu of tlio
United Slates. 1 do not < ec how I ean do
otherwise. If I were unwilling to com
ply with the statute , I would beat liberty
to go outride of the United Suites' limits
and continue in the practice of polyg
amy. 1 think that , after u lime , there
will be a reaction nnd that people will
come to see that I have pursued llio best
and wisest course. Jf those who arc so
bitter against mo could be induced to
read the letter which I wrote at the time ,
they would , I think , see the wisdom of
my pleading guilty as 1 did. lint they do
not read it. "
"Do you anticipate any serious results
from the present trouble ? "
"It is hard to say. There Is , as I have
already intimated , some rebellious mut
tering in certain quarters , though others
are inclined to acquiesce. Yes , I think
there is bound to come a reaction in
favor of the stand that 1 htive taken.
The Mormons are stubborn , but when
they are threatened \\ith the peniten
tiary , when they pass into the shadow of
the states prison , as 1 did , for instance.
it is reasonable to suppose Unit they will
come to their senses.
"Do you tnink that the Edmunds law is
establishing itself as a siiqce.i-5f"
"It is a severe law. but it does exactly
what it was intended to do it sends the
men to prison who refuse allegiance to
the United States in declining to give up
polygamous practices. However , ' I do
not think that this great is Mio will be sat
isfactorily disposed of until the represen
tatives of the United States and the men
of the Mormon church meet and discuss
the matter as men of wisdom' stud justice
should to devise some means of solving
the question in as speedy and amicable a
munncrasis possible. "
Dr. Miller ncforc the Footlights.
Considering that it was a one-man , one-
act show , the eil'ort of Dr. Miller at the
opera house last night was something of
a success. The attendance rcllected
credit upon tlio drawing power of
the individual who posed as the com'
bined bones , tambo and interlocutor of
the entertainment.
The audience was remarkably well-
behaved , as was also the doctor. The
former was composed of about two parts
of Paddy Ford democrats to one of re
publicans and one of mugwumps. The
speaker of the evening devoted himself
pretty faithfully to bolstering up Paddy ,
and tin-owing upon his many good quali
ties the calm light of reason.
He neglected not , likewise , to bold up
to the ga/e of the audience elaborate and
highly colored portraitures of the other
candidates on the democratic ticket.
"I won't make any personal attack up
on Hilly Coburn , " said the speaker.
"Hut have those who have been lighting
Patrick Ford done the same ? What have
they thought of assaulting him and
wounding the feelings of his family ?
'llio fact is , my friends , and 1
regret to say it , that thcro
is a tendency in certain quarters to
make war upon people with the name of
Patrick or Michael , or any name made
sacred by associations -With the Ureen
Isle , if a man's name is Hilly or Jack ,
he is all right he needn't be attacked.
Now. 1 propose to show some of these
dudes these nicely dressed , patent-
leather dudes that their idea of what
constitutes true manhood i. not the only
idea that we are at liberty to entertain.
"Now , who is Patrick Ford ? " ( At this
interesting point the lire bell rang anil a
number of people commenced to leave
the house with the evident intention of
running after the hose cart. A gentle
man in the audience arose and suggested
that some wicked anti-Fordites were put
ting up u job to break up the meeting.
Culm was soon restored , and the doctor
was permitted to go ahead with the pro
cess of pointing out the beautiful points
in tlio charncterof mine-host of the Niag
ara house. ) "He is a man who is honest
and true. He has , as I have been re
cently informed , taken poor , penniless
men into his house and bade them wel
come to his table and shelter until
such a time as they to.ild procure em
ployment. Ho bus by toiling industry
amassed an independent fortune of $ ' , " , -
(100 ( , not one dollar of which is stolen.
Can some of our dudieh , patent-leather
friends say the same ? Ho is an Irishman.
Hut ean that fact be mentioned to his
shame ? The Irish have their fault- )
some of them noticeable ones as have
every other people on the face of llio
earth. The only serious objection to
them , in my mind , is that they like to
light. Their history is a history of
heroism true moral heroism. 1 don't
come here to llatler the Irish. God bless
me , 1 am above that , or below it 1 don't
Know whieli. I guess 1 am below it. "
It is unneco.-sary to follow the good
doctor through the sinuous windings of
his enthusiastic panegyric on Paddy
Ford. Ho closed his remarks on tins
point with the prediction that aforesaid
Ford would bo found , when tliu vote s are
counted , to be theshcrill'-eleft of Doug
las county. The prediction was greeted
with some applause and several "cat
calls. "
The doctor then wont on to speak of
Klohard O'lveellb : "Honest , true , brave ,
Uieliurd O'ICeelVo , what shall I say of
him ? 1 shall say nothing nboul him , be
cause you all know him and what Iu : is ,
and what he has done in his responsible
position of commissioner of Douglas
county. " After m-utly explaining thus
tliat lie. wouldn't take the trouble of de
fending Mr. O'IC. , thi ) speaker briefly reviewed -
viewed the other candidates of tlio dem
ocrat lo ticket , and brought his remarks
to a i'loii bv announcing that the meet
ing wub adjourned sine din.
"Throe eheer.s for Patrick Ford , "
yaffil soiuu one in the audience us the
crowd wr. * moving out.
The lirat "nil- " was very weak , the
second "hip" Mill weaker , while the
"hurrah" was so attenuated as to bo inaudible
audible- the uaitii ! oar.
Tliu relative volume of tiie thref Ac
tions of Miund may bo thus aptly illus
trated.

Hutwcon llio hours of 12:30 : nnd 1
o'clock yesterday morning Joe Miller , of
Iho county bustile , was aroused from his
clumbers by the noise of tome one knock
ing for udinltto.iii'o at tlio heavy iron
doors , llu got , u p and after some-parley

'The man'ti n.uno In 11 \i , Powell ,
ho Is well known nt 1'Iorcneo , the little
village some eix miles north of Omaha ,
where ho plys Ids trade ns carpenter.
A reporter mcl him yesterday and
interview ed him upon the subject of the
shooting -illVav.
"I'll lull joiijutl how it wnVliowitd. "T
shot my man purely in solf-drifpiise , and
if 1 had not hit him he would have killed
me. His name i * Charles Leslie , ami ho
is one of a gang of toughs Ihat hear n
hard name in that place. Ln t night 1
went to chui'fh with my mother to a
sehoolhotiso about half a mile south of
my houao. When I was In the room and
had f-ealed mvself , two young fellftws
came in and told me to look out. that
there wns a plot to kill me. J didn't
think much about it , and when a man
came in and s.iid that there was a fellow
outside who wanted to talk to me , 1 at
once got up and stepped out. There was
u gang of fellows there , and I at once
saw that they meant troiiblo. Tin-re
were Charlie Leslie , George Sniilli ,
George Slelling and another fellow
whose name 1 don't know. They com
menced lo nbu o mo and call me all man
ner of hard names. The cily marshal
was there , but he could do imihinjr with
them , and one of them had the boldness
to remark : "What theli 1 tin we care for
the city marshal ? Let's go ahead and do
that fellow up. " 1 fcteppu'd inside nnd
rejoined my mother , not curing to pick
any trouble with them. When I eamo
out , the boys again commenced to nbuso
me , and 1 saw at once that there was
going to bo trouble. They fol
lowed inn a little ways from
the church , and 1 made
up my mind to let them have it. 1 left
my mother behind and told heir to wait
for mo. I Marled ahead , ami the bo.vs
made a rush for me. I drew my revolver
ver , which 1 had in my overcoat pocket
poeket already cocked , and lired at Les
lie. They fell back and I Marled logo
ahead. George .Smith , one of the 'gang ,
caught up with me and said , 'You -
- . I going to blow jour brains out. '
He had his cocked revolver in his
pocket , but didn't draw it , because I had
my hand on mine nnd would have shot
him in a moment. Wo walked Ihat
way for about , two blocks , when he left
mo. 1 went in a store and waited for my
mother , who caught up with me a few
moment' * afterwards. 1 didn't know that
1 had shot Leslie until a fellow eume. in
and told me , saying that lie was badly
injured and was going to die. When I
lired he didn't full , and didn't say a word
to show that ho was wounded. 1 took
my mother Jiomc , and then came to
Omaha to give mvself up to the authori
ties. I him to shoot him or he would
have killed me. "
"Did you liavo any previous trouble
with the fellow Leslie ? "
"Yea , about two months ngo he and his
gang met me , and Leslie jumped at me ;
I turned around and thrashed him pretty
.roundly , and ever since that time
he has had it in ior inc.
No , the trouble did not arise over a girl.
I can't tell you hew it did start. I have
never done anything to provoke Leslie ,
but he is one of those fellows who are
always aching to have a light. "
John FoMer , who came down from
Florence this morning , brought informa
tion that Leslie was not badly wounded
and would probably recover. The ball
hit him in the right breast above the
heart and was deflected upward , being
still embedded in the llih. .
Powell is still in jail , awaiting
trial examination. Public sentiment
apnears to be that lie was acting in self
defense and was perfectly jiitilicd in his
course.
Cons-table Page , of Saratoga precinct ,
brought Powell into Justice Wright's
court yesterday , and had him appear for
trial on a charge of shooting with intent
to wound. The case was continued until
November 5. Marshal Daniel Andrews
tried to secure custody of Powell yesterday
"
but Constable Page refused to" turn him
over
Tlio WoolrtriilKe Auiilr.
The ) ) ; ; oxeil'jinent over tlio
Wooldridge shooting a flair had almost
died out , though it still continues lo bo
a topic of casual conversation.
Wooldridge who was questioned by a
reporter yesterday said that ho pro
posed to go cat in a few days to visit
friends , and should not go pack to str ft
car driving for a time at least. Tae
company has decided to give him a bet
ter position and ono which will be safer.
"They think that it would bo a little
risky for me to take a car right away , "
he said. ' 'I think so myself , although f
am not going out of town to run away
from any one. "
A slreet car driver on the Park avenue
line in talking with a reporter , said that
he hud no doubt but that Uuckel was the
man who had been doing all the robbery
of the street cars during the past few
weeks.
"What makes you think so ? " queried
the reporter.
"Well , I'll tell you. One night two or
three weeks ago , this pame follow Kuek- : !
got on my car down town , and rode up
the avenue with mo. Ho came out on
the platform and made very free and
easy and I soon got pretty intimate with
him lluforo I Knew it I had told him
that I didn't carry a revolver , and gave
him some pointers about those dmx'is
who did go ariniid. Also I believe E
told him that if u man
would put a revolver un
der my snoot and tell mo to hand him the
cash , that I'd do it in preference to getting -
ting shot. In fact I told him a good
many things that 1 would not have if I
had known who he was. When wo getup
up to the head of St. Mary's avenue he
jumped 'Oil' tin- oar and bade mu good
night. I drove around the corner and
win just Hearing the termiiuH of the line
when a fellow eamo out with marked
face and "held me up , " throwing his re
volver under my nose and taking away
all the money 1 had. Notwithstanding
that ho was masked , 1 could see that he
was the man I had been talking to on the
car. Alter leaving me he had just taken
a shortcut ? - and caught up
with tliD ear ngnln. Oh , ho was u sly
young man. you bet , and understood his
business pretty well. "
An Unimproved Opportunity.
A new reporter , who dropped into the
postmaster's room at fie government
building yesterday in search of news
(
might have emerged with something
more substantial if lie had had his wits
about him. "Have you got anything for
mo to-day ? " ho asked of the gentleman
in charge' "Yes , 1-guess go , " the gentle
man replied , at the eame tlmo producing
the pay-roll. "Let's see , what is your
name ? " The reporter , at the thought of
money , lost his senses , and owned up
that ho was a newspaper man. "Why , I
thought you wuru ono of thn new demo
crat ie clerks after your pay , " said the
gentleman. "You see , there are so
many of them we can't remember their
face * . "

TIIH WAY OT HATTM3 ,
The Klcotlon The OntlierlnR Clnns
nnd Active 1'repnrntlonf.
Yesterday , the day ibeforo the battle ,
the hosts which 'enter the light
were rushed with the work of com
pleting belated details nnd making last
preparations. It was out of the question
to think of finding any of llio candidates
at Ihelr homes or place of business. The
great rendezvous were the street corners
and saloons. At the lirst mentioned
localities oratory Mowed In all persuading
volumes , while at the hitter whisky did
the flowing iu ali-eonvmoing streams.
Money is notably an active factor in
electioneering at tins time ami it will bo
strange if all candidates do not go
through with clean hands , considering
their liberal u e of "soap. " The gentle
man who made this remark modestly
npologi/.ed for the "joak. "
One remarkable tact is the universal
conliilcuco which exists. Meet a candi
date and ask him for his opinion of the
situation , and ho will entluisiaMieally
claim certain success while his opponent
on another block is bragging of "a dead
sure Ihing. " This i.s at lea t an enviable
frame of mind , but the night of the elec
tion and llio fateful count will arouse in
some far dill'erent emotions.
Another fact equally noticeable at long
range is the utter forgetfulncs.s of the
slate issues. The jiulgeship of Iho supreme
premo court and < ho regency of the uni
versity and the men to fill them is not
nearly bo important n consideration as
who is to fill the high ollico of Douglas
county eomniifcMoners , or second district
judiciary , etc.
The feeling yesterday is that lhr > county
republicans will win 'to-day the great
est victory In their history. The ilems
ai'e bolting Pat Ford and the great alder
man is selling very low in
the pools. It is believed that his
presence at the head of the
ticket will carry diwu.lrous . weakness
down Iho enliro line , and plungit the
democracy into most overwhelming de
feat. One or two verv popular genlle-
men on the Hl-sHrred tn-kef are believed
by some as capable of goirgthrongh , but
even their friends fear thai they will bo
overlooked in the general slaughter.
The republicans have announced them-
Pelves for an honest li < rht , and tlie county
central committee publish in this paper
oilers of rewaul for the detection of any
fraud.
Tlio county and city will doubtless
witness to-day a hard slrugglo and a
most intcreMing election contest.

An Accident on tlio Tenth fitrce.1.
Yesterday about MX o'elook , a. m. , as a
Mispouri Pacific train was running over
Ihe Tenth street crossing , John Uunyon ,
a brakeman , fell from ono of the cars
and striking the rails head-first , frac-turod

The train was slacking up for stoppage
in the Union Pacific depot and the. brakemen -
men , the full length of the train , weru
setting the brakes as rapidly as poisible.
Piimyon , while running from ear lo car ,
slipped at last upon the frosty
roof of abox 1'reight and
fell to the ground. Ho struck clear
of the track upon which his train was
running but fell with terrible violence to
the adjacent parallel tracks. His head
struck ono ot the fish-plates , and Ihe
sharp edge cut his scalp and buried in
his skull.
He wns picked up unconscious and
taken at once to St. Joseph's hospital.
He is in a very critical condition , but

The war of the Sidney liquor men
upon Col. Morrow , of the post , on account
of his action in allowing beer so bo sold
in the amusement hall b still the absorb
ing topic of conversation in armycirclcs.
According to the Sidney Telegraph , last
week , one of the saloonkeepers swore
out a warrant before a justice of the
.peace against Lieutenant Charles Wil
liam1 ? , quartermaster , and Private
Uetehcli , charging thorn with selling
liquor contrary to law , at Iho amusement
room at Fort Sidney. Tlie warrant was
placed in the hands of the sheriff , but he
refused to servo it , and Thursday morn-
ingtho complaint was dismissed by Judge
Slinniiin.
( ion. Morrow , learning Wednesday
evening that the warrant had b wi sworn
out. immediately issued an order that no
soldier or ollleer should leave Iho post
without a pass , and no citizen iihould bo
admitted to llio grounds without a
permit from the commanding oilcor. !
Guards were stationed about the grounds
and the order Hlrielly enforced.
Later on , however , as soon as be heard
that the complaint had been dismissed ,
he ordered llio grounds opened again.
His view of Ihe case , as staled to a
reporter : Some time ago Ihe saloon
keepers of Sidney sent him a petition
asKing him to Flop the sale of beer at the
amusement room which was hurting
their business. He gave their complaint
careful consideration , and in a letter
whieli was published in tlio Telegraph ,
declining to comply with the request of
the saloon men , claiming hu had a legal
right lo sell , and that the amusement
room was ke.ul open in the interest of
good order and discipline among the men.
Judge Norvell , the attorney for tliu sa
loon men , WIIH given every facility
to appeal the ease to the
authorities in Washington and
the general cxprosned hiiusulf as
willing to abide ny their decision and
stop the saloof bear without further cero-
moiiy , if the decision-war ) against him.
Papers have already been sent t > Wash
ington asking for a decision on the legal
point. Now cotno thn saloon men and
swe.iir out a warrant , with the intention
of forcing the matter to trial In thn local
courts. Ho considers this an insult to
himself and garrinon , and will light the
proceeding with all the power ho pos-
jieoses , oven to keeping the gard-ion closed
and the soldiers inside.
The saloon nioirwcro Boon and talked
to about the matter. 'Most of them had
signed the potitionrnsking that Ihe sale
ot liquor be stopped and mid favored the
appeal to Washington , but they did not
