Attorney General hooso was busy yes
terday writing toGon.O'JJrion of Omaha ,
eoun.sel for Tom ISallard , urging him to
lile his brief and abstract in the case
within fifteen days. Mr. Leeso says
Mallard h being kept in Douglas
county jail at sin expense to the taxpay-
eis winch is unnecessary , nnd thai in
justice lo them and the prisoner the case
Miouhl be disposed of as soon as possible.
Speaking of this led the attorney general
to remark licit there was a great deal of
ignorance among county officials respect
ing tliu law. For instance , the blicrifl'
of Otoo county was reported busy
Wednesday making preparations for
tlie execution of liolninnon , and
would undoubtedly have hanged the
man had it not been for order.s by tele
graph to the contrary. Shcrill's should
understand , says Mr. Leese , that even
when a man is convicted and sentenced
to death on a certain day , the execution
cannot legally take place witlioul a man-
dale from the court , and nollum ; of the
kind had been is.sued in Iho liohannon
case.

they would have been put can only bo
conjectured.

Happenings.
A Strange Kfnlnily.
Ir Galbr.ilth was summoned at a InU
hour la t night to attend one of the work
men on the new Union Pacilie bridgi
who had been paralysed while working
in thecai * on which is being sunk in the
river. Tlie man wsis taken very sudden
ly mid without warning. One of tin
men working wilh him in the caisson
noticed that lie had fallen down , doublet !
tip like a jack-knife , and went to his as
sistance. Hu found that the man wn
completely paraly/.cd from liishipsdown.
and. .summoning assistance , had him
quickly carried to the surface. One ol
the men \vit * men sent for Ihe doctor ,
who re-ipoiidcd ipn < .ki\ ,
The disease is a vei\ , peculiar one , and
was canned by the great pressure of air
upon the vital organs 'I be caisson has
now been sunk to a depth of lifty feel
below the surface of the liver , and tlie air
i forced into it at si pressure of twenty-
live pounds to the .square Inch. The
caisson is lo sill intents and purposes a
great diving bell , and the eompres-ed nir
is supplied through pipes thus keeping
out the water and enabling the men to
remove the sand from the bottom , thus
sinking the caN-oii to bed rock.
The means ofe\it , and entrance to Iho
caisson Is through air-locks , air-tight
chambers , placed sit the ton or bottom of
the structure. The air luck has two
doors , one commuuicaling with the oais-
. on and the other at the exterior. A man
wishing lo enter Hie caisson goes
into tlie air-lock and closes the
door behind him. A stop-cock being
opened allows the comiucsscd air from
the interior to lill the air-lock until the
pressure is equal to that of the caisson ,
when the interior door is opened and Ihc
workman may step in without uul con
sequences , The great danger lies in the
air-lock , for to it is traced all the fatal
cases.
The disease is said to have fust come
into general prominence during the
building of the great St. Louis bridge , in
the construction of which many men
lost their lives. It was at lirsl imperfectly
understood and. no provision being made
for the safety of the workmen , the mor
tality was great , and a very large per
centage of men who did not sutler fsdal
consequences were permanently crippled
or temporarily incapacitated. Exper
ience pointed out ways of preventing
many of tliu more serious consequences
and it is believed that in timu the elVect of
compressed air upon the human system
will oe so \yell uiidor.-tood that the. evils
may be entirely averted.
Whether the workman who wa * para-
Ijxed list : night will recover oi-notisn
matter of doubt. His is not the first ease
of the kind that has occurred in Omaha.
When the old bridge was built there were
a number of siniihir cases. SomeoHhem
proved fatal , while others left the victims
cripples for life. A few of the men so
alleclod entirely recovered , while the
crippled ones were given positions by
the company which they could lill with
out manual fab or. The case will un
doubtedly attract considerable interest
among the physicians of ( he city , and
others are liable to follow before the
work ol sinking the caissons is finished.

Elias Patrick , a carpenter working on
the slock yards exchange at South
Omaha , was struck by an engine near
Sheeloy's packing house hist cMjningand
received injuries which may prove fatal.
Patrick resides in this city and was on
his way home from work when the acci
dent occurred. Hu stepped from the
west bound track to avoid si train which
was coming towards him , not seeing an
engine which was running nt a high rale
of spued on thu other track. The east
bound engine struck him , throwing him
in front of the west bound train. Ho
landed on the co\ycatehor of the
west bound engine and rolled
tiom there to the side of the track. The
train was immediately stopped and Iho
unfortunate man picked tip and brought
to the city. The patrol wagon was sum
moned and conveyed him in sin uncon
scious condition to St. Joseph's hospital.
There ho was attended by Dr Gsilhrnith ,
who found that two of his ribs had neon
broken , his skull fractured , the nasal and
check bones crushed , and his limbs
frightfully bruised. It was found neces
sary to remo\c the entire nasal bone , it
having been completely crushed. The
other injuries wej'c dressed and the unfortunate -
fortunate man madu as comfortable as
possible , bill the probabilities at a lain
dour last night wcru that ho would not
live until morning.
Patrick Is a married man and has n
wife liying in this city.

down and left an ugly wound on her
cheek. Then he ran out intotho hallway ,
tearing his night gown into .small incces
and yelling at the top oi his lungs.
In a moment till the hallways were
tilled w'ith men and women in their scant
robes , rushing wildly down the stairs
and anxiously asking each other in voices
of terror what thu trouble was. Several
of the ladies fainted and woru carried
into the parlors and laid on the sofas ,
The night clerks and two porters ran up
thu stairs and tried to captnru thu insaiiu
mail. Hu brushed a.l three of them to
one side and How down the hall-way , by
this time almost undo , and tried to open
one of tlm doublu windows on School St. ,
crying , "I mustjlly outi don't touch my
wings. "
The stalwart engineer and fireman
tried lo sui/.u WiIkinby thu arms , but hu
uliidcd them and ran back to his room ,
milling thu door to after him. Parson
Downs had been reading testimony lor
bis coming trial , in company with his
lawyers , in tint rooms of thusyudicato tor
the defense , on the lloor bolow. Ho had
insl roaohed the question ; "When did you
leave Mrs , Tabor ! ; " us ho heard
thu unearthly yells. Hu jumped
to his foot , and wont up thu stairs
two at a bound , wilh his hat and coal oil' ,
and his curly hair llyipg behind him , llo
shoved open the door to Wilkins' room ,
around which stobd a frightened group
of people afraid to outer. Hu found Wil
kins standing on 'the ' bureau without a
htileh of clothing on , wa\ lug a black bottle
tle around bis head sutd shouting " 1 am
God ! I am God ! Uowaro of mo ! "
Downs ran up to thu bureau ami
grabbed Wilkins lirmly around the waist.
As ho did soVilkins alined ; \ blow at
his head with thu lottl | . Downs ducked
Ids head , but received thu blow In full
force upon his right shoulder , almost dis
locating II , Hu carried Wilklus lo Die
bed.lhruw him upon it and held him
down , Judge Norton shouting sill the
time. "Look out , parson , ho will kill
j'ou ! "
After Downs got Wilkins down , four
men came in and helped hold him Then
tha policu wcru sent lor. It took threu of
thorn to carry Wilkins to the station-
house after they had got borne clothes
upon him. Mrs , Wilkms' wound was
dressed , and she was tenderly cared for ,
but was buffering intensely when
hist heard from with hysterics. It
was moro than an hour be-
foru thu hotel was restored to Us
normal quiol , and then tlie night chirk
heaved u deep sigh , as he said : "Thai
was llio worat scone ever kn wn iu the
Parker houso. I don't think wo ever hud

Uod that NVilkins ran out of Iho room
before ho killed Ids wile. "

Ihc Cii-ont Insurance Trial Closlni-
llo , tor Lincoln !
The great Leighton & Clarke insurance
cn e , compounded of twenty four suits
which lias dragged its weary length
through nearly two weeks' extra session
of the L'nitcd States court , is drawing ti
a clo-o. The last item of evidence was
brought forth yesterday forenoon and 01
reconvening nt I ! o'clock the great con
tc t of the lawjcr * , which nuM be ( In
isiied by the comt's order , this noon was
begun. Judge Dimity is determined tn
bo in Lincoln with ail the clerks , balling
and other lilj.'li ollicials of the court on
Monday next to open the long defcrrci
term in that cit.\ .
The insurance trial clo-od with Ihe tes
timony in rebuttal set forth by the drug
linn. A large number of witnesses were
examined and a vigorous as-anll
made on the charges of framl
nnd misrepresentation laid against Mr
Leighlon by the insurance companies.
It was estsiblished that nil the itiMirntici
wituessi's formerly in the employ of the
company , who testified to conspiracy on
the part of Leighton to garble the ao-
counls , secrete the salvage ami im > ke
fiil-o presentments of the loss , were dis
charged for incoinpetciicy and othci
venal offenses. It was charged that these ,
siiine employes , conscious of their im
perilling dismissal before the lire , hn
sol/.ud this opportunity to compromise
tlie linn so I hat they would have to lit
retained. A blackmailing letter was
produced againsttonc of these fellows to
prejudice his'.ostimony and traps wort
succes-fully laid to'catch some of the
other' " in fal-elioods.
The csi e goes to the jury lids after
noon.

Another Cold Wave Coming.
At ! o'clock this evcnimr the local sig
nal service officer wsis nolilicd that In

The ground work of this theory is high

Ihc stage was at the ace of . > . 1 can jnsi
remember the event. It wiv
atwa 'tho Alliiiny museum I
was to represent the yonnj !
I'riueo of Morocco and was dres cd it
buckskin breeches , with a Taitar jacket
and a black plug hat. as was the faction
In Morocco at Iliat time. Thopropotty
man supplied the coloring 1o give mo tin1
peculiar Indian hue of the princes of AlO'
rocco , and liit on copal varnish as tin1
proper shade llo smeared mo over with
the Micky liquid , and though I remember
that I could not move a muscle or .shut
my o.vos or mouth , Mill 1 foil mj import
auco as a prince of royal blood , 1 sat on
the light of the king lie was a .small
man with corkscrew legs otieascd in
black , shiny broadcloth pantaloons
and bomba/im ; sick coat. 1
thought him the finest aclor I over
saw , and he mu-t have been a Rood one ,
for my father u-od to say ho was a
"corker. " Hut to my IjiM appearance : 1
got along very finely with the part of the
prince , but when they tried to got the
color otV my law ah , thorp was the rub.
And rub me they did My poor mother
rubbed mo and scrubbed mo , my lather
suggested sand , and my mother tried it.
It made mutters worse , for the sand dried
in , ami then the.v proposed to let it wear
of. They used my lace tor sandpaper to
light their matches on for some tlajs
afterward.
1 often acted the child in "Pixurro , "
and I remember , while on Hollo's shoul
der once , eroding the brid re , I lolt 1
was falling , and grasped Mr. ICemble
Smith's beautiful black hair. It came oil
in my hands and the house set up a roar
at the sight of a bald-headed Potuvhin. I
and my brother Tom once noted the
humps of a dromedary. An old lior o ,
with long Shangai logs , was gotten up as
the dromedary. His got hie figure and
long neck were wrapped in yellow col
ored cloth , with .shaggy bundles of lamb's
wool at his joints. Brother Tom and Ieov-
oretl with an old table cloth , represented
the humps. My mother gave us eaelt
two apples to keep us quiet. In trying
to get one of my apples out of my pocket
it fell on this stage. The old camel
stooped to oat it , and in his effort > hook
oil'both humps , to the iniusomonts of the
audience and the disoomtituro of the
camel driver , an old gentleman who was
known in pur company as Jumbo , on ac
count of his having but two teeth which
protruded diicctly from his mouth in
tuslc fashion.
The supernumerary of to day has no
opportunity to prove his value to his em
ployer. How can a supernumerary ad
vance in the profession when such trashy
plays occupy the American stage ? Thorn
aie no spearmen , no Roman victors in
"Ten Nights in a Itailroail Car. " in "The
Musical Cockroaches , or the Holler
Skater oi Bueklon. " Who could play the
tlead Ciosal' as 1 used to do ily To bo
sure , 1 used to Miller on account oi my
long logs I remember once 1 was to
pla > the dead C'aar. . The bier , a long ,
two-handled stretcher , had but
two crossbars for me to rest
on , and my legs hung over
one end. Hut a * I was a deaii man. of
eour.-o ] hail to hold them out .sillily.
Well , the position was painful. Still , as
I was covered with a pall and dead
Ciesar's toga , I did not mind. Hut , oh !
my agony trom having nothing to rest
my back on ; literally .supporting my on-
entire weight on the buck oi iny"head
and the calves oi my legs. The gentleman
who was delivering the oration over me
Marc Antony was very slow and long
winded. So that when ho came to the
line ? , ' 'See what a rent the envious
Casea made , " I suddenly collapsed.
1 bent up like a jack-knife and
slumped through the bier with my
knees glued to my chin. I appeared like
a sack of oals lallon through a broken
wheel-barrow. Hut did I move ? No ! I
stood it as a dead Ciesar should , although
the na ty stage carpenter did prod me
with sharpened knitting-noodles through
the slage Hoofing. I have acted the
waves ot the oeean on several occasions ,
when covered with green cloth , in com
pany with other Mipors. Wo had to raise
ni ) and down on our knees to imitate the
billows. I remember one night we were
idaying " Flying Dutchman " waves.
They vvoro strong , and wo had to
.skirmish around under tln sea clolh very
lively. .lust before the .seeuu came on ,
and we were under the clolh waiting to
begin "the stormy ocean , " the captain of
Mipcs said : "Hoys , old Vandurdeokcij ,
the manager , is going to cut down our
wages. Let's lix him. No waves to
night. " " ( toorll" exclaimed the balance
of the billows. The prompter's whistle
sounded. The scene opened The ocean
remained tranquil. Tlio Flying Dutch
man cussed and swore to no
purpose. Not u billow wav-

I WUB discharged for that
though I had no hand in it. I was dis
charged just once before for a slight mis-

simply said "Iounin Porter and < ! ene.ral
Miller. " The audience gave me away ,
