A Datiglitcr'fl Disgrace Discovered.
Yesterday morning there boarded the
U. & M. train for Lincoln an old gentle
man and young girl whoso whole appear-
a'nco indicated that they had spent a
slooplcso and anxious night. They were
not only pale and haggard , but on the
face of the old gentleman was a look of
lcop anguish and his eyes were red as if
lie had been weeping. The gentleman
was George Hrown , a well known busi
ness man of Lincoln , and the girl was his
daughter Annie. And no wonder thn
father looked sad , for ho had discovered
that his daughter was no longer an inno
cent girl but had been the companion of
a man at an Omaha hotel who was nether
her husband. The facts about the daugh
ter's escapade as learned last evening are
us follows :
Saturday evening there arrived in the
city on the H. it M. train a young gentle
man ami lady who proceeded at once to
the Windsor hotel and registered as D. I.
Kaufninnn and wife , of Lincoln. They
were given a room and retired for the
night , nothing wrong being suspected by
the clerk. .Sunday morning the young
couple weio present at breakfast and
ntraln went to their room , where they re
mained during the greater portion of the
day.Towards
Towards evening the young man cnmo
down stairs , and , lighting a cigar , started
out for a stroll. Ho did not return for
some time , and the reason for his absence
was afterwards developed. While pass
ing along the street , ho mot a friend , who
informed him that George Brown , of Lin
coln , had just arrived on the evening
train in search of his daughter , who had
run away from home. Kaufmann at
once took his friend into his
confidence and informed him that the
daughter was staying with him at the
Windsor. lie urged Ids friend to assist
him to escape from any scrape that the
old man's presence might produce. It
was thereupon agreed that Kaufmann's
friend should tro lo the Windsor and call
I upon Miss Brown , stating the fact of her
father's presence in the city , and accom
pany her from the liolel to the opera
liouso , where Kaufmann would bo in wail
ing and take her to a place of safety.
The young man accordingly started o
perform bis part of the bargain. Ho vis
ited Miss Drown at her room and the two
started to leave the holul together. As
they stepped out upon Tenth street ,
however , they were niet by the girl's
father , and an exciting scene ensued.
He grasped the j'oung man about the
throat , and in a fron/.icd manner was
about to do him bodily injury , when by
standers , not understanding the.situation ,
interfered. The old gentleman's anger
was wrought up to a terrible pitch , but
when the young man explained that fie
m was not the parly who had induced the
tw girl to leave homo Mr. Hrown agreed to
do him no harm , lie , however , bworo
eternal vengeance on Kaufmann.
Seeing that ho would have to make the
lcst ) of the situation , the father took bis
daughter in charge , and as ho was unable
to leave for homo that night went tot lie
Cozx.ens liouso. There they remained
during thu night , tlio father not allowing
the daughter out of bis .sight , and yester
day morning , as already stated , they
took the train for home.
Kaufmann , thu young man who figures
as the girl's seducer , was not satisfied
until ho had returned to Jho Windsor
hotel and boastfully told one of the pro
prietors what ho had done. Indignant at
the outrage perpetrated in the hotel the
gentleman ordered Kaufmann to leave at
once and never set foot in the house
again. As the order was accompanied
by force , the young man left , going to
the Millurd , where he is stopping at pres
ent , not being desirous , for obvious
, rcn.soiis , of returning to Lincoln.
1) . J. Kaufmann , the young man in
question , is a cigar dealer of Lincoln.
Miss Brown is about twenty years of ago
and is said to bo fine looking and ot
comely proportions. If Kaufmann re
turns to Lincoln there will probably bo
another chapter to relate if ho falls in
with the girl's righteously indignant
father.

The report of the committee on rules ,

The Crystal Crop.
The ice harvest is practically over. A
few firms are still engaged in cutting
small quantities , but most of them have
stored their full quota of the crystal
blocks. The total amount stored is
tieaily three times that of last year
" 33
being something over 12. " > ,000 tons , ns
against 50,003 tons for the scasofi of 1835.
Most of the Ice is of good quality ,
though not of the best. So far as Known
no impure ieo has been harvested , as all
the firms have taken pains to select
spots not afl'eetcd by tin1 sewerage from
tlio pipes. Low prices in the ice market
promise to prevail this summer.

A Proposition to J stnhllsh Such an
Institution In South Onmlm.
1'or some time negotiations have been
pending looking toward the establish
ment of a western horse exchange at the
South Omaha livestock market. It was
proposed to erect a largo structure near
Hie Union Pacific track andon the ground
between the lumber yard and school
building , the capital to bo supplied by
outside parties. The plans for the build
ing were not perfected , but it was the
intention to put up a very commodious
.structure with stalls for the accommoda
tion of a larco number of horses. It
was proposed to make It a regular
market for horses , whore parties desiring
to buy could find any manner of horse
flesh , from the ( { ticking cow pony to tlio
high biodspueder or staid family horse ;
also a plaoo where parties having horses
for sale could leave them with the assur
ance that they would ho well cared for
and s'old at the earliest opportunity.
While such a scheme might not pay very
well at the outset , sooner or later it
would become a very paying institution ,
as the stock yards increase in import
ance.
ance.While this scheme is still unsetllcd , a
well-known live stock dealer comes for
ward with a similar plan. He has made
a proposition to the stock yards company
that if the company will erect a barn with
; capacity of 100 slulls ho will agree to
'out ' it at a stipulated sum for n period of
en years , and keep itstocked with horses.
The company has this oiler under consid
eration , as well as the former , but it islet
lot yet decided what will bo done.
ChlcnRO hy Gaslight.
A good sized audience greeted Mr. C.
J. Holt last night at W. C. T. U. , Buck-
iigham hall , to hear his famous lecture ,
dcngo by Gaslight. This is Mr. Holt's
: iiaster effort and is a terrible expose of
ho saloon horrors. The song service ,
ed by Messrs. Gratlon and llutcson , ably
assisted by a volunteer choir , was deeply
n joyed. Vice President Bannister pre
sided with dignity. Rev. W. J. Harsha
made a fervent prayer. Mr. Holt spoke
n impassioned tones on the terrible dan-
? cr of the rum trallic. Ho showed that
ambling and prostitution are the twin
offspring of the liquor traffic. Especially
solciim and appalling wore the ox-
> osurcs of the decoys sent out
jy the gin mills to secure fresh , pretty
country girls as victims for men's lust.
Ah I friends , they want not only our boys
but our girls. In speaking of the social
"
evil Mr. Holt paid" glowing tribute to
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union , especially the Omaha W. C. T. U.
A lady rose and spoke of the inofiieicncv
of the local society on account of the lack
of lunds , and said that she had donated
ten acres of ground near Florence wlu-u
a sulliciont amount can bo raised to build
11 refuge for fallen sisters. Loud applause
greeted her remarks. Mrs. Caroline
Woodard , state treasurer of the W. C.
T. U. , being present , made a fine
pcech condemning the apathy of tlio
Christian people while their boys and
; irls are being taken from their very
inns. She was listened to with breathless
ntorest.
To-night is Mr. Holt's farewell lecture ,
'Chow-chow. ' " The boys are specially
nvitcd , as a glorious hallelujah will bo
iiold. All welcome.

Hon. Jnnics 15. Hoyil rcturncil yes-
onlay inoriiing from the cast anil Was
at once called upon by a reporter for the
tlio ntnv papers
lave had mo in' Washington nuil clso-
wliuro , 1 hnvo been no further cast than
Chicago. Vcs , I sv\v ; your editorial cor-
osponileiico , 1 bought a llnr in Chicago ,
and llrst I want to say that I itin intlig-
lant that thu secretary of thu interior
should have disclosed the correspond
ences of democrats relative to patron-
RO. "
Hut Mr Hrown s.i\v \ them aho"iutor-
the reporter.
"It is all right that lie should because
ic is a democrat , but in all honor no one
mil the ricltt to permit Mr. Hosowator jo
sec those letters. I am very indignant in
ho matter , and shall this day write to
Secretary Lamar requesting an investiga
tion , ami .shall further uo every ell'ort to
see that Mr. llas-ol , the gentle-
nan who has immediate charge
) f the correspondences , is properly
mnishcd if lie is a party to the business.
L have my doubts , however , that ho is to
ilmno and sometimes believe that Mr.
iiosowaler never saw the letters but that
\Ir. \ Morton and Air. Brown , cither or
Ijoth , imposed upon the privileges they
lield , und copied the letters for Mr.
Uosowator. It is right enough that
the iir. : should expose them
is Mr. Hosowater is openly fighting Mr.
Mr. Morton's battle anil 1 have nothing
o sav in that regard. I also want to say
that 1 am not ashamed of anything ilis-
closed , and my only emotions are of in
dignation that Mr. Hosewater was per-
lUittod to see and use the letters which
Doctor Miller and myself wrote. It is
nil outrage in every sense
and particularly so in regard to Dr. Mil
ler's letter relative to Mr. House , when
in the very to\t of the writing it was
personally addressed to the secretary , and
Ihus guarded from publicity. "
"Your signature was not allixcd to the
[ louse letter , "put the reporter , inquir
ingly.
"No , for the very good reason that I
liad no hand in its writing , and knew
nothing of it. It was Dr. Miller's per
sonal atl'uir , and I was in no way parly
lo it. I have always boon a , friend to Mr.
House. I appointed him surveyor of the
northwest road when I was its
president , and have recently made
lim chairman of the board of public
works , I am no turn coat , nor am I
louble-faccd , and I could not have en-
lorscd Dr. Miller's letter in this case bad
10 submitted it to me. "
"How about the ilouble reoommcnda-
; ions of Mr. Clcgg and Mr. Ramsey for
; ho survoyorshipy"
"I am glad you ask _ that question as it
gives mo an opportunity to define my po
sition exactly. In the lirst place I liavo
icver made a recommendation to the ad-
ninistration except upon request and in
every case that a prospective appointee
las been submitted to my judgment I
liavo acted fairly and honestly.
When I was asked concern
ing Mr. Clcgg's character and
capacity for the survoyorship , I
stated honestly that ho was a good man ,
and Dr. _ Miller who lias acted upon the
same principles as myself also endorsed
liim. Later when the same was asked of
Mr. Ramsey , wo were again
compelled to state the facts
in his favor Then wo
were unable to decide between the two
men , and meanwhile Mr. Gardner was
appointed through the united efforts of
Air. Morton and Mr. Hrown. I shall
not deny them the credit , if it is of any
satisfaction to tljem. In the course of all
my concern with the federal patronage
in Nebraska , I have acted fairly and im
partially. I will show you the list I made
out for the nostollice department , in
which I gave the names of a man in each
county to whom reference to candidates
could bo mado. Dr. Miller and I made
the selections aUogether irrespective of
factional prejudice ) , and to prove to you
that &uch was the case in ono instance if
in no others , look at the name opposite
Otoo county. "
Mr JJoyd displayed the paper , and
where ho indicated , stood the name , "J.
S.Moilon. "
"Now when ono of Morton's men was
appointed to the oflico of postmaster at
Nebraska City , your paper laughed at
the slap in the face Moyd and Miller re
ceived. You can see the error and in
justice of such decjaralions. Hut I am
not making apologies and care nothing
about it. There is nothing , now ,
that I want. G rover Cleveland has no
ollico under his patronairo that I would
take nor to which I would earo to recom
mend anyone. If 1 am asked of the char
acter a man bears bc-foro the people of
Nebraska , I tell the truth but seek no op
portunities to advance any interests. "
"Did you see the Ilm s special advice ,
this morning , of a proposed reconcilia
tion which Dr. Miller and Mr. Morton
have in hand at Washington * "
"I did , and I do not believe ono word
of it. I do not believe that Mr , Cleveland -
land ever declared such an alternative ,
ami lam satisfied that Dr. Aliller never
allured Midi terms , Ho certainly should
bo pleased to have it that way , so would
I , but thu natiiro of man is too
modest to oiler such stipulations as the
grounds of compromise. The whole sto
ry originated in thu imagination of some
correspondent , or is perhaps from Air.
Hosowater himself. It may amuse some
people to write such stories andjirovo of
entertainment to others to read them but
such tastes are estranged from the bless
ed truth and that is all there is ot it. "
INDICTING A IIUOKBR.
Another Man Taken lo Task by the
Grand Jury The Latter Cuso.
II leaked out yesterday that among in
dictments returned , Saturday , was ono
for forgorv against young Philbin , who
has been engaged as a ticket broker in
tlds city for some tlmo past. Ilo is a
brother of J , J. I'hilbin , and has an ollico
in the St. James hotel on South Tenth
street.
Tim crime of which Philbin is accused
is that of alluring a Union I'.ioilio stock
ticket , changing the date from October to
November. The evidence- against him
was furnished by two spotter of the
Union Pacific.
Philbln was quietly arrested Saturday ,
and taken to the district court , where ho
gave bail in the sum of $1,500 , Arthur
Hrlggd and J. J. Philbin being Ids sure
ties. Ah * . Philbin has many friends in
this city who trust and believe that a
thorough examination into the charges
preferred against him will show them to
[ jo utterly without foundation.
The indictment against John W. L\uor :
for murder is now on record in the dis
trict court journal. Below is the sub-
bianco ot the text , which will doubtless
prove infesting to many of the readers ol

The indictment relates that on the

Jailor Joe Aliller on Saturday night
landed Lauor the indictment against

juletly opened it and read it without a
bign of emotion. Thesame serenity which
uis marked him from the day of the

10 understood that ho must moot in the
courts the charge of murdering his wife ,
lis features did not move. Thanking the
ailor , ho turned abruptly and paced to

omarkably turbulent condition ot affairs
fecoms to exist.
A certain E. Messenger , who is also the
editor of the Elklioru Times , is principal
of the school at that point. He is assist
ed by a younglady , and for months past
ill ran smoothly in the institution. Last
iVeck Air. Brunei" was startled by reeeiv-
ng an extensively endorsed petition to
remove Messenger for incompolcncy ,
ack of judmcnt , tyranny , etc. This docu-
nent was followed in three .successive
lays by letters from prominent residents
of the district. Those correspondents ill-
ege that the school has been in a state

ifter running the school at their own

the teacher is utterly helpless , anil was
Irivcn to the expcdinicnt of carrying a.
jig , forty-live calibre pistol which no laid
on his desk and flourished threateningly
when he wanted lo command order. One
of the letters said that the scholars would
some day take guns with them and a caller
! or the coroner would follow.
On the other hand , letters have come
to Mr. Brunei" sustaining Messenger and
lonouncing the turbulent spirits in the
school as boobies who squealed over a
very properly administered thrashing.
The superintendent has also been in
formed that a petition in the teacher's fa
vor will shortly reach him. Knowing the
character of a school district quarrel ,
than which no cat fight or civil war is
more bitter , Mr. Brunei" will hasten to
iho scene and sit in judgment on the
situation , _
MlhlTAUY TnijHGRAMS.
Secretary Knilioott's Ortlcr Killing
of CajH. Crawford.
General Howard has forwarded to the
secretary of war an important communi
cation relative to the transmission of
telegrams over the lines of the banded
Pacific roads. Some time ago , it may bo
remembered , Secretary Kndicott sent an
order. ) the b cadquarter.s of the depart
ment of the Platte , liirccling that all
army telegrams should bo sent over sub
sidised lines , as for instance the Union
Pacific , which is of course largely in
debted to the government. The object of
this order was to enable the government
to secure some sort of an offset to its large
debt accounts against those roads.
In this department , however , the order
is found to cause a grc.it deal of tioublo ,
annoyance and unnecessary expense. A
telegram sent from Omaha to Tort Wash
ington , for in-itanco , has to go by two
lines , the Aestorn \ Union and Union Pa
cific , and costs twice as much as though
it wore dent by only ono line , the Western
Union.
( lonoial Howard has written a commu
nication setting forth these tacts , and re
quests that the order bo rescinded , so far
as its operation in the department is con
cerned. Ho is daily expecting an answer
from Seorctarv Enulcott.
Col. Henry" lias received a letter from
Capt. John G. Hoiu'ko , of the department
of Arizona , and now stationed at Fort
Howie , A. T. Speaking ot the murder
of Capt. Emmet Crawford , ho says : "I
have no dcsiru to enter into any tedious
controversy to prove to the American
people that thu murder of poor Crawford
is an insult to thu fiag and a culmination
of a long series of indignities and insults
cast upon the Americans simply because
they are Americans , A nation Unit needs
to have such things drummed into its
head , is unworthy the respect ot a decent
cannibal. The article in the Hin : , "Alex-
lean Alasqueradors , " was excellent , and
plated facts that thu Mexicans will try to
dodge by their usual methods of lying. "

succeeding in obtaining judgment. Gen ,
O'Brien and the other contestants liavo
now taken the case to supreme court and
will light it out there. It is generally
hoped that the cause can obtain prompt
action , for the involved condition of the
title discourages improvement in that val
uable locality. The supreme court has
set its hearing for April 29th.

Not a Spy.
Henry Morrow , who was accused of
being a spy in the interests of the Law
and Order league , emphatically ( Ionics
that ho is employed in any such capacUy.
Ho says that ho was out on a litllo "lane"
one night and the first thing ho know ho
was subpiunted to appear as a. witness
against a keeper of a liouso of ill fame ;
wno was accused of soiling liquor with
out a license. He did not know before
hand that ho was to 1m summoned as a
witness , any more than did Ins compan
ions on Iho spree , moit of whom liavo
since loft town lo avoid having to testify.
The story to the effect that Morrow was
an agent of the Law and Order league
was btartcd.by a tollow plasterer of Ids ,
as a joke , though a gri//.ly sort of joke it
was.
The Ponuody Cano Again.
Judge Wakoloy is again engaged In Iho
trial of tlio celebrated Peabody grade
damage case. The jury was impaneled
yesterday , and is now deep in the
mysteries of this twice tried cause.
The Milt is one brought to recover
$1,000 alleged damages to the property
of Elizabeth Puabody. on LoavonwortTi
street , on account of the grading of Unit.
thoroughfare. It was in ono of the
former trials of this cnso that Judge
Wakoloy laid down the principle of
"special benefits" namely , that in con
sidering tlio damages by grading , tlio
benefits by way of Vise in value , etc. , are
also to bo taken into consideration. As
already intimated , the -ca&o has boon
tried twice before , and both times the
jury was unable to agree.
A Timely
Editor of tlio Bi'.K : Would it not bo
well to invite the different male quar
tettes or male choirs in tlto city to take
part in the opening exorcises of the Kx-
position building ? The Americans , Ger
mans and Scandinavians all have line
choirs , and it would bo extremely fitting
to have them paitioipalo and lot the
good people of Omaha know what vocal
material there is within its walls. A lit
tle encouragement in the way of invita
tions to the different singing societies
might bring out -quito a treat in innate
and add a great deal more variety lo the
programmo which would certainly bo
appreciated by the audience.
A liovnt or .Music.
A Statement Jlcnlcil.
Mr. E. J. Coder , who was mentioned in I
Saturday's Bin : under the head of "A
Tram ] ) Grader , " called at the ollico yes
terday to correct some of the state
ments made. He denied the assertion
that ho had failed to pay his men , but-
said that during his two years' residence
in Omaha he had employed over 1200 la
borers , and only in the ono case had ho
been sued for wages. To prove his asscr
lion , Mr. Coder exhibited cheeks for
$2,400 , , money paid by him for labor dur
ing the last season. Ho also took de
cided exception to the title of "tramp
grader , " ho having come to the city to
make it his home. While hero he has
been employed on contracts for the board
of education , Howaial B. Smith and
many others , and in nil that time has
only employed six Swedes. While Mr.
Coder does not deny that all the property
belongs to bis wife , having been pur
chased with her money , he assorts that
lie always pays hibills. .
A Xow K. or I
It was learned yesterday through
Mr. E. E , French , Iho grand keeper of
records and seal for the SI. lie of Ne
braska , that a new lodge of the Knights
of Pythias is about to bo organized in
Nortli Omaha. A hall has already been
secured in M. Toft'.s now block at the
corner of Sauudcr.s and Charles slrcets.
Quito a number of gentlemen have
signed Iho petition for the now lodge ,

astic over the scheme , as the members
will have the lodge room within easy
access. Mr. 11. II. Lucas , Iho
grocer on Cuming slreet , who has charge
of the petition , has the document nearly
full of names , but like a Mreot car , there
is still room for ono more.
Tito now organization ha' ' brigl t pros
pects , as it will start out with a largo
membership , some of the members of tlio
down town lodges who live in North
Omaha having declared 'their intention
of joining , _
