A HKB reporter iniled upon him and asked whether the complaint had been lilod , and he an- wcml that it had , but that ho had not the time to issue the warrants. "They may bo issued this afternoon , " lie said , la ufl'octed in null's" some compromise the matter. " It is rather nmisual for a jinlic.nl ofiicer to clog the machinery of justice , to wait and sec if a compromise ' i. , made. The mayor was seen and he lias no' I'lians'-J his mind a particle about the vig- ' irons prosucution of the case. "As mayor of the city , I am anil should lie I'xpoctt'd to protect it from any such Horrible ! suspicion as will surround it m : i ca < j of this kind. It is therefore my intention to do overvlhiny in my power to brink' the olVend-TS to justice , and I have instructed the marshal , police and till concerned to use every effort to ferret out the parties who got the body , how it wa.s obtained and all the details po - wiblo. " The mayor thought the conduct of the Journal in suppressing the mat ter and coming toj the a. istanci. ' of the grave spoliators was outrageous. City Marshal Beach said lie was using nil means to hurry up the case. 'The HKK has been of trie most valuable as- > istance lo ns in this matter , and is the only paper which has had the courage to come out and give the facts as they -xist , " laid the mar-dial. "The Journal , MS usual , dare not say anything , but hastened - toned 'to cover up the tracks of tlio Veal ollenders at the expense of the po lice department which , in this matter at least , all good citizens will say has been right. 1 am getting tired of the way the ' Journal act- , and propose that it shall not influence me one whit in my duty which I believed from the first dircctetl mo to discover anil put a stop to this nefarious trallie in human bodies. " Assistant District Attorney Stearns , who drew the complaint against the doc tors , was called upon , and no was equally emphatic that the case would be vigor ously prosecuted. "I have already otters of assistance from members of the bar , and shall doubtless accept in ono in stance , " Mr. Stearns said. "The mayor has ordered that all the evidence be tnkun down in _ short-hand , and it will be done as he directs. I am of the opin ion that the Journal did wrong to sup press the true facts in the case ns it did , but it was nothing particularly startling that it should do so. " In a prior conversation both the mar shal and Mr. Stearns thought that the Journal was a personal organ of Gov. Jawes' , and therefore would not publish anything which in anyway rcllectcd on his appointments , even if news had to be Mippres od. They believed the Bci : was the only fearless paper in the city. TUi : MCHTW M.\Nl > .UJl'3. U'endooday afternoon the supreme court handed down a written decision in the case of the state ex rel J. Sterling Morton against Wallace Stevenson , county clerk of Otoe county. It will be remembered , that tlu's was a mandamus brought to compel the clerk to put on the election notices the pflice of a second Judge in the second judicial district. Be- i'ore tlio late election the court gave an oral opinion , or rather ordered the Otoe county clerk to include the judgeship in the list of olHcers to bo voted for. This decision did not enter into the constitu tionality of the act creating a becond judge , but only bore on the functions of 'the clerk. The present. opinion decides that the wet of last winter was constitu tional , notwithstanding the act of 1881 , which created four new judicial districts. ] n the full opinion of Justice Cobb. who rendered the decision of the court , he _ de clares he would not have entered into the constitutionality of the act , but for tlui objection of A person who had no right to object. This dictum , to say the least , is rather a descent for a judicial officer who , until the present time has maintained a dignity equal to the posi tion he holds. Although it was the duty of tlio attorney general to test the ques tion he refused to do so , on the ground , as he said , of public policy. The sylla bus of the case is as follows : In the supreme court. The state ex rcl 5ror- ton vs. wallnceijtevenson , county clerk of Utoo county. 1 Under the provisions of section 3 of article (1 ( of the constitution , the legh- laturo of 18S- > had the power to provide by law for the election of a second judge of the district court for the second judi cial district , notwithstanding that the legislature of 16S5 had provided by Itiw for the election of an additional judge for the third judicial district , ana for the creation otour new judicial districts U nml for the election of judges for each district. JA court will not ( ordinarily ) listen lo an objection made to the constitution ality of an act of the leginlaturo by a party whose rights it does not ellect , ami wiio has therefore no interest in defeat ing U.

After his term of enlistment expired the general moved to 1'coria , ills. , where he engaged in bus- inogs until the breaking out of the war in ISOJ. when he enlisted as a private.

The colored people of Lincoln held a ball in Harmonic hall Thanksgiving night and the attendance was made up of the best element of colored society.

A companion who had an idea that the world xvns too small to hold him interfered and struck Fowler , at the same time applying opprobious language. He , too , was arrested , as In ) should nave been. The mayor released the last named , but , as he afterwards stated , under a misconception of the facts. The Journal stated that the offi cers were wrong , when the > e who had any knowledge of the affair say they did their dutj. A man named Kiehardson , who was arrested at Heunett for giving liquor to a minor , was yesterday released on a habeas corpus proceeding , on the ground that the justice of the peace at Ucnnott had no jurisdiction over thecae. llicli- ardson is the man who give liquor to the 1'J-year-old boy who is supposed to have died from its effects.

At Florence a meeting ot the citizens was called for last Friday night to obtain the sense of the people as to requesting the school board to open the school house for regular preaching services , as Hev. Mr. Preston , of Irvington , had been denied the privilege of holding a brief series of religious mi-etings. 1 Unow not as yet the result. If it is refused it will perhaps be about the only school house in the state where- such services cannot be held , especially whore there is no other mutable building.

The pa l week , in marked ami pica'- ant contrast with the preceding ones of this fall season , ha been chnraetfr'ized by extraordinary gaiety. Halls , private parlius. s oolali and wedding4 " 11 have combined to make Tliink : jlvhipweek of the 3'ear ISSo memorable in a oeial way. Kvunts of note followed each other in rapid sirccMsion. Many of them were elegant in detail and attended by the best people of the city. In a matrimonial way especially there ha ? been consider able to do and to talk about , as will bo seen by the list presented below. A for the social future , the outlook is brilliant. Many splendid events ate un der contemplation , in the way of charity balls , fancy dress balls partic and re' cpptions. The movement for a "swell charity ball1'is well under way. In all probability Boyd's opera house will be secured , as last season. The affair , in now contemplated , however , will bis on a grander scale than last year , and the de tails will be far more elaborate. AT HYMEN'S ALTAI : . The event of the week in a social way was the marriage on Wudne.-day after noon of Miss Jessie Jiarton , daughter of Guy C. Piarton , to Mr. Henry Itollins , of this city. The ceremony took plaeo at the ri i- donee of Mr. HartouM03 California street , and was characterized in every detail by an extraordinary elegance. The entire house resembled a bower of rare exotics the perfume of which made the air almost heavy. Every available space was filled in with llowers. The chandeliers were adorned with smilax , the vases , the pier glasses and every sideboard and stand was made the rest ing place of largo pillows of ( lowers. The table was ornamented with a mngnitioetit centrepiece of three cornucopias of scar let carnations , surmounted by one of pure white. The white cake and fruit cake were decorated respectively with immense bows of blue and pink satin ribbon , haudpainted by Miss Shultz an entirely ne\\ feature in weddings. At SO o'clock the ceremony was per formed by Dean Millspaugh , with the beautiful ritual of the Episcopal church. "Within the bay window , under the lloral wedding bell , stood the bride and groom. The lace curtain was artically entwined with smila.v , the whole forming an eH'ee- tive background , against whicn the fair bride made a charming picture. Her dross , the creation of a Irench modiste of Now York , was the exact model of the latest Parisian fashion. It was of cream satin , of the heaviest texture. The trained skirt was laid in large plaits , with grace ful drapery set off by pearl passamon- terie and Duchess lace. The corsage was pointed , cut square and tilled in with Duchess lace. No' jewelry was worn , the orange blossoms being field in place by pearl pins. The shoes , instead of being the usual color , were a dainty novelty in fawn color with corrcspoiul- I ' ing si Ik hosiery. The conventional veil was worn. Mrs. Barton , the mother , was richly at tired in a toilet of black lace , adorned with cardinal roses. About fifty of the most intimate friends of the bride and 'room were present at the ceremony and afterwards over i03 called to tender their congratulations. At S o'clock the conplu left on an extend ed eastern tour , to be gone some two wonks. The bridal gifts were seen on the upper landing , and nearly every available table was brought into requisition to support the numberless articles of bisque , brass , silver and bi.joutrieof every description that were lavished on the wedded pair. The display included an exquisite assortment of china. Of the wedded couple it is accessary to say but little , as both are well and favor ably known in this city. Miss Jessie .liarton is the youngest daughter of Guy C. Uarton. a pioneer settler of Nebraska , and president of the Omaha and Grant smelting works. She has long been a prominent member of society here , and is a lady of manv graces and rare worth of character. The groom is a junior member of the grain brokerage firm of McWhorter & Rollins , in the Omaha Na tional bank building. Ou Tuesday afternoon occurred the marriage of Mr.era Snow , of Portland , Oregon , and Miss Wopdlu.McCormick.of this citv , at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. S. II.

It was- rumored late last evening that Mr. J. E. Congdon , superintendent of motive power of the Union Pacific , had resigned his position , the resignation to take place at once. A reporter called upon Mr. Congdon , but as that gentle man was in bed nothing as to the truth of the report could be learned from him. -Subsequently , however , the rumor was verified. Superintendent Smith was approached preached on thosubject , but declined to express himself about the change. Mr. Congdon ha been a resident of Omahn for twenty years , and is well known and very popular here. He was born in Granvlue. Humpdun county , Juno 1 , 1883. At the age of 14 he com menced his trade of m.iohinist in a gen eral machine shop. In 1801-2 ho was em ployed in the shops of the Cleveland , Columbus it Cincinnati railroad. In ho was appointed general foreman of the shops of this road , and remained as such until 1800 , when he was unpointed mas ter mechanic of the Great Western rail- rtiftd of Illinois. In 1SUQ he was ap pointed to the position of superintendent of the motive powe'r'of the Union Pacific ; Mr. John Hackney , formerly assistant .superintendent "Q'f machinery of the Atchison , Topeka'S'-'Santa Fe railroad , with headriuarters nt Topcku , will suc ceed Mr. Congdou , ' couiai K hEi A An Amusing Ancodoto of Old GIIIU.

In conversation with a re porter this morning he told an interest ing anecdote ab6tit the old gentleman who was noted for- sharp repartee and a certain dry humor peculiarly hi own , Along back in the fifties when the ran- cgado Mason , Morgan published a book divulging many of the secrets of the craft. Judge Gillis was an ardent Ma son. When Morgan was murdered , being thrown over the Niagara Falls. Gillis was suspected of having committed the crime. Uj was tried , but as there was no strong evidence against him he was acquitted. Shortly afterwards , some of his spiritalUt frieuda determined to play a joke on him. They announced to Gillis that they had held a seance at which the spirit of the murdered Morgan had appeared. "What did his spirit sayf" queried Jud o Gillis. "It said that lie mis murdered , " was the reply ' 'How did U say he was killed !

OlirUtot nml Loon in Their Wt-osltlnu Match , with Leon Victor An audience , exclusively male and numbering about one hundred souls , at $2.00 per capita , assembled last evening on the second floor ot StubbendortV & Ne-tor' building , Eleventh and Douglas street * , lo witness the wrestling match advertised to take place between Profes sors Chri-tol anil Leon. A patch of car pet about twelve feet square and padded with traw , constituted the arena. The bills had fixed 8U : ! ! for the taginning. but it wa < nine o'clock In * fore Mr. Jack Moy- mihnn stepped out and made the open ing remarks with graei- and composure. The terms of the contest were live falls two Gra'co-Homan. twoeatch-as-eateh- can , and one to be determined by a toss for choice. All this was declared to be for ? 250 and the receipts. "Gr.Tco-Homan , " let it be stated for the benefit of those who do not know , as well as for the advancement of public intelligence at large , restrict * the grip _ to that portion of the body above the wai t. "Cali'h-ns-eatch-ean" means what it says , and gives license for a grasp anywhere from tuft to toe. Mr. Hob Green , who has = een service as a manager for Whistler and other gladiatorial combinations , wa.s chosen referee. Leon selected Louis llibbcn as his second , and Christol took up Mr. Tony Marovitz. Meanwhile , Mr. Moyn- ahan's oratory had been ( lowing , and here he concluded by introducing the champions , who stepped out and bowed acknowledgments to the appbiuse. Both men were stripped to the waists , below which point they wore breech clouts , tjghts and socks. Both were well condi tion. and in nhvsicial appearance worthy " of their trade. Leon , however , had ap parently the advantage , being younger , taller and heavier , 'llicse points Chri - tel balanced bv superior agility and skill. Prof. Andre Christol is a Frenchman , 42 year < of age. He weighs 155 pounds and stands live feet live. He is a veteran wrestler , introduced the Graeeo-Kotuau in America and taught and trained nearly all the distinguished wrestlers of the day. Prof. John Loon is an Athenian Greek , 20 years of age. He weighs 185 poumN and stands live feet nine. He has eleven 5 ears experience and has been connected with quite all the wrest ling exhibition troupes. 1-ir.st Bout ( Gnieeo-Iloman ) The men went down on the tloor at once and stayed there till the finish. For sixteen anil a half minutes they gripped , twisted , tugged and tussled , soiin-tunes working with the energy of demons and at other intervals hanging to each other without a wriggle. Leon was on the olfensive and three or four times had Christol nearly borne with both shoulders to the lloor ( which alone counts a fall ) , when the wiry Frenchman would somersault upon his stomach again , lu one of these performances Bob Gtcen thought he detected a fair fall and awarded the bout to Leon. Christol kicked some , but made the best of it and both men went to their corners. Second Bout ( eateh-as-catch-can ) After fifteen minutes spent in sponging the contestants and sewmg up the _ car pet. time was again called. On this oc casion the little Frenchman took the aggressive and went at it hard. Time and again ho had a fall as squarely on Leon as Bob Green had declared against him. For forty minutes the struggle continued , Christol working the neck clasp and hip-lock to the serious disad vantage of Leon. At last by one mighty effort with the last named hold Christol bore the Greek's shoulders to the carpet and won the round. Third Bout ( Graco-Uoman ; ) Both men came from their corners , where they had been rubbed down. Th' ; skin of each , which whe.ii leaving the ring at ( he con clusion of the struggle was rolling with perspiration , was now hard and dry , yet pliable ns kid. The instantaneous ff > -rp of the hand was follovrta "by UuTpole clasu Several times in rapid succession. Body holds followed , anil these by a dropping on all fours by both principals , Christol being abo\c , and Leon in much the same attitude as the sculptor has presented the familiar gem of the dying gladiator. Christol forced the work , while Leon , when his opponent was ex ercised , hiy or sprawled upon the carpet , always beyond the power of Christol. save 'when the latter succeeded in several acute arm twitehings , reinforced by thigh clasps. Despite his superior physique and might , the little Frenchman in this style would slowly and laboriously force Lnqn Hr.st upon his side , tin n upon one of his shoulders , and finally toward the second shoulder , both of \ \ hich must bo upon the stage to soeure n fall. Just when it suemeu that the- bout was to end , with Christol almost powerless in the tortu ous and sinuous grasp of the Frenchman , the former I5y almost superhuman cllort would wriggl" from the hold , and , with spiral , i/erpcmlieiilar movements , shoot upward from the embrace and de scend like a cat upon bis feet , to seek n better hold of his doughty opponent. Of these momentary evidences ot' victory and defeat , each wrestler had his share , the more brilliant ones being ascribed to Christol , the more stolid and immovable ones to the other. Twice Leon caught Clu-istol's head at the base of his stomach and with ft firm grasp of both thulatti'i-'s thighs put him in a pow erless position , ami with him rolled over head and heels after the manner of an acrobatic eart wheel. Another pretty play was Leon's gnisp of the right shoulder of Chrlitol which he intensified by pinioning the arms of the Frenchman behind him , and then forcing him up ward and backward over the back of the prostrate advasnry. After this , the prin cipals separated , and Leon rushed back and contested the remainder of the bout with the couriigo ot a lion. It was the first of this kind he had done during the evening. Ho had husbanded his powers and thej now came to his assistance. Ho twUtiul Christol's arm behind that man 'shack , and then , by a siiporhuman effort scl/.ing the back and ribs of the great wrestler , lie literally forced him around until the Frenchman lay with both shoulders upon the carpet. The bout was declared in favor of Leon. Time , 17 minutes. Leon was fresh and reliable , flo went to hU corner and while there Jack Moynihan announced that Chvlstol's arm had been wrenched and that ho could wrestle no more. Bob Green therefore decided that , inasmuch as Christot had declined to wrestle the match out , the watch should bo awarded to John Leon. Christol then challenged Leon to wrcstlo with him at the German theatre. The challenge was accepted , and the match will accordingly take place thcro for 42. X ) a side , on next Monday ni"ht. Each man deposited } M forteit witii Doll Hudd , the stake-holder. This will bo a Grox-o- Itomun , best two out of three falls.
