Miller nisclim-Rcil Powell , Charged.
With Murder , Placed on Trial.
At iv few moments after 10 o'clock yes
terday the jury in the case of Augustus
1) . Miller , charged with the rape of his
15-year-old sister , Ida Miller , came in and
. .announced that they wore ready to re
port. After the usual formalities , their
verdict was announced as that of not
guilty. The prisoner breathed a heavy
sigh of relief , and the look of anxiety
which has boon plainly noticeable upon
his fiico during tlio trial changed in
stantly into one of joy. lie was at once
discharged. A few minutes later ho left
the court house in company with his wife
and child.
The case , during the trial developed ,
unusually nasty loatures , which served
to draw largo crowds each day. The ver
dict is received with considerable sur
prise , ns everyone supposed from tlio
nature of the evidence that Miller's con
viction was a sure thing.
The next case called for trial was
that of Lafayette Powell , who
is charged with murder in the limt de
gree. Ho will 1)3 remembered as the
man who shot Charles Leslie at Florence
in October last , when the latter with a
party of associates wore , as Powell
claims , about to attack him. Leslie's
associates claim that Powell has acted
the bully mid blackguard at Florence ,
and was continually calumniating him
( Leslie ) and his friends.
A jury was selected , after considerable
trouble , which consumed nearly the en
tire morning. The taking of testimony
was begun in tiie afternoon , the Jirst wit
ness being Dr. J J. Soloman. Ho testi
fied to attending Leslie during his illness
and as to the nature of his wound , ns did
Dr. Robert , who was called in consulta
tion.Hans
Hans Gundorson was the next witness
called. Ho is a farm hand at Florence ,
and was present at the time of the shoot
ing. Ho related the story of how a diili-
oufty had existed between Powell and
Leslie , and. that on the Sunday of the
Bhooting , when Powell came out
of church Leslie challenged him
to light. This Powell refused
to do anil returned to the church. When
became out again the bhootlng took place.
Leslie advanced toward Powell and the
latter ordered him to stop throe times
and then shot , LeMio had no revolver or
weapon that the witness knew of at the
time.Mrs.
Mrs. Vosc , mother of tlio murdered
man , tostllled that she hud helped un
dress and put him to bed after ho was
shot. No weapon was found in his
olotlies , On cross-examination she ad
mitted that I tor son was considerably un
der tlio inlluence of liquor at the time.
Gillis Gimdorson , another farm hand ,
testified to the facts of the shooting , and
nlso that ho had heard Powell's mother
call to him a minute or t > o before the
fchootiug : "If ho goes for yon again
ehoot him down. " Nothing now was de
veloped on cross-examination.
Andrew Limlburg was called and testl
tied substantially to the game fuels as the
preceding witness. At the eloso of his
direct examination court adjourned foi
the night and tlio witnesses will resume

concluded that the animal could not stand

CAUGHT
Mamie U.icllc , n Female Embezzler ,
in the Tolls of the liair.
Mamie Racik is a pretty , rather pre
possessing young woman of some eigh
teen or nineteen years , AVho has up to
last night been in the employ of Martin
Swatzlnow , a Hohomian grocer in the
south cud. Shu occupied u position as
book-keeper and clerk , and was always
trusted as an honest and honorable young
woman , Hut it appears that she lias
been growing discontented with the
routine work of casting up columns of
ligurcs , measuring out sugar and beans ,
etc. , and formed a determination to sea lifo
in the far west. Accordingly Sunday
she bundled up a few of her things and
taking $10 of her employer's money
started out on the Union Pacific , without
saying anything to tlio folks as to where
she was going. Swat/.lnow nt once re
ported the case to the police , and tclo-
grams wcro sent out in all directions in
order to head the girl oil' ,
yesterday a telegram was received
from the chief of police of Columbus ,
Neb. , saj'ing that , she had been ar-
icsted in that city. She is now hold there
awaiting orders. Her father has gone
utter the female absconder and will re
turn with her to-day. It is not prob
able that Swal/.inaw will prosecute tlio
girl if the money is returned.
TIIE GEUJIAN ASSOCIATION.
Sunday's Brief Mootlnjj The Turners
on the AVar Path.
Tlio adjourned session of tlio semiannual
nual meeting of the members of the Ger
man-American association was held Sun-
tcrday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Although
"time" the
an interesting was anticipated
proceedings wcro brief and not strikingly
imuortant. The Turners were there in
majority and conductednfl'turs. Summa
ry action was taken with those members
of the Concprdia who had resigned from
the association. The resignations were re
turned and throe months grace allured
thorn to pay up their duos , which in
every case have run behind , at tlio expira
tion of which time , the dues remaining
unpaid , the disaffected ones will bo ex
pelled. If on the other hand they pay
up , the opportunity to resign and get out
gracefully will bo opened.
The committee on revision of the con
stitution and by-laws was increased anil
now consists ot Messrs. Philip Andres ,
Emil Burmestcr , Henry Pumlt , L. Ileim-
rod , Hermann Kessler , C.C. . Sclmcfler ,
Chas. Boindorf. The revision of the con
stitution looked to is tlio con
solidation of tlio association and
Turn-Veroin under the same manage
ment , with the further intention to make
the name of the latter cover both. On
this point lies the largest section of the
bone of contention.
A Turner attempting to explain to a
reporter the original ground of trouble
said yesterday , "The constitution of
the association explicitly provided that
the names of all applicants for member
ship shall bo acted upon singly and in
dividually. Well , at tlio meeting in Jan
uary the Concordia came and
demanded that they should be
taken ib as a body. This
was at variance with our rules and the
demand was denied. The result was that
the Concordia people got mad and incon
tinently walked out. We're sorry enough ,
but we can't help It. The Turners have
one hundred and forty in the Association
to the Concordia's fourteen , and it is
pretty nearly right that wo should run
things. It will rather fool thorn when
they find out that they must make up
their duos before they can get out as
clcvcrlv as by a resignation. "
The Turners have secured the legal ser
vices of Attornoyd Hallcr and Clarkson
as counsel in guiding their proceedings
A SAD ACCIDENT.
A Track-hand Suffers Terrible Injur
ies in a Powder Exnlosloii.
Particulars were received hero late
yesterday afternoon of a nearly fatal ac
cident which occurred at Valley about
two o'clock. John Hayes , an [ cm-
ployo of tlio Union Pacific , while engaged
in blasting earth near that place , failed to
get out of the way of the explosion in
tune and was blown a distance of several
feet. Ho was picked up unconscious ,
bk'odiiur and terribly bruised. The lower
part of his arms were shattered to

taken to St. Joseph's hospital , There Dr.
Galbraith was called , and the lower part
of both arms was amputated ,
The shook sustained by tlio poor follow is
so great that the physicians think it is a
question whether he will recover. Ho
was resting easily at a late hour last night
however , and there hopes that are ho

ODDS AND ENDS.
Stray ticnrcs Gathered From the lie-
port crs' Note Hooks.
Several days ago nn aged Scotch couple
started from Omaha for nn eastern trip.
The old gentleman was tall and slander ,
and the old lady short and fat so fat , In
deed , that it was with difllculty that eho
was assisted to mount the steps of the
dummy train. Tlio car was nearly filled
with people when the couple ontorcd ,
but there was n vacant seat near the door
and to this the old gentleman led his
wife. No particular attention was paid
to the new comers until an exclamation
from the woman attracted all eyes in her
direction , "Wool , wool , " sins cried , "I
dlnna know I ha growcd so intch. " The
occupants of the car soon per
ceived the cause of the exclamation , for
the old lady , in endeavoring to scat
herself had become wedged between the
arm rest and the back of the adjoining
peat , and wai unable to extricate herself.
Her husband tugged at her arm , and en
deavored to pull her out of her dilemma ,
and failing in thl , tried to pu.ih her still
further into tiie seat. In the meantime
tlie passengers were unable to repress
their merriment , but finally tlio conductor
put in an appearance , and arranged mat
ters by turning the back of the seat ,
which allowed the lady to sit down. The
train had hardly started , however , before
she loaned towards her husband
and whispered in his ear something which
caused him to rush for the conductor.
That olllcial was found busy taking up
tickets , and the old gentleman explained
that his wife was seated directly over the
car wheels , which jarred her llcsli "a'most
frao her body. " Ho wanted her trans
ferred to another part of the car , but the
conductor was afraid to have her move
for fear of overbalancing tlio train on the
bridge , and advised the couple to keep
their hoiil until they arrived at Council
Ulullk They did it , but tlio old woman
lost bovoral pounds of llcsh in the opera
tion.
Since tlio time , some tour months since
that the surveyors were driven at the
muz/.lo of a shotgun out of an indignant
farmer'ji field , the work of locating the
Dolt Line hai progressed almost without
incident until out- ; day last week. The
engineers were at work in the northwest
end of tlio city fixing the line wlion they
came across a small promises which held
the right of way. There was no one at
home save an old woman who was vigor
ously performing tlio week's wash. One
of the prominent officials of the road was
on the scene and in traversing the yard
ho ordered a chicken-coop removed from
the way. A gang of moil prepared to ex
ecute the order wliun the woman's voice
came from the door , "Hero , hero , here
drap dat now , will yoos. By do
baint.s uf yes move that klioopc wan peg ,
I'll mimtor the tlio whole bla'guard lot av
yees. " "Pay no attention to that old hen
but move the coop , " sternly commanded
thoolnciul. "Whoop , " and the old lady
lifted a Kerry yell that startled the whole
" ' bin I Bedad I'll
crowd. "I'm a , am ?
bhow ye dat yer not the cock of this walk
ony how , " and sei/.ing a pick handle
which lay near the door she came
on the charge. An instant stampede
followed and it is said thntjlha coat skirts
of the railroad magnate were not the last
seen Hying over the fence. As the fugi
tives gained ground away from the
dangerous locality they heard the old
lady saying , "Ow , tlio snakes and rab-
bers. They wanted tor lak1 the roof oil'
ov the head of my chickies. If Dinnis
had only been to homo there1 d boon a ,
rannykaboo right on the spat , and thiiu
divils with the shpy-glasscs and strings
wouldn't ' come here agin in aswifthiirry ,
I'll bet ye , "
A startling occurrence in this city dur
ing the month of January was cleverly
suppressed , despite tlio vigilance of the
press. Those who road the city physi
cian's mortality report for that month
will remember that onu of the causes of
death was suffocation. The attentive
readers of the local newspapers will
have then recalled that no mention of a
fetality of that character had boon made.
A BKB reporter called upon Dr. Loisen-
ring to enquire into tlio matter , but the
doctor had prepared his format record ,
destroyed his own memoranda , and tor-
Cotton the name of the physjeian who
reported the caso. Slow investigation at
last revealed tlio details of the affair.
Along about the middle of the
month a baby some few weeks
old died in a reputable house
hold in this city. It can bo safely
said that moro piercing grief never at
tended tlio death of a child. Tlio mother
retiring one night had placed the little
one by her side on the bed and in the
inornmc awoke to find that she had rest
lessly rolled her weight upon the babe
and lam perhaps for hours unconscious
of the murderous work she was perform
ing. The shock to tlio household was tor-
nblo and the mother but narrowly recov
ered from the transports of grief into
which she was thrown. Ono of tlio emi
nent physicians of the city was called in ,
and , satisfied that the statement made to
him by the half paraly/.cd father was
true , ho took it upon hinibolf to keep
the affair from public notice.
J. L. Hcrrick , the mun who was ar
rested for stealing an overcoat , as noted
elsewhere , is not unknown to the police.
Ho was arrested thrco or four years ago
on a chnrgo of arson , in connection with
the burning of a largo hat store in this
city. Ho was convicted , and sent up to
tlio penitentiary for two years , Since his
release ho has boon working pretty
steadily at his trade , that of a carpenter.
Gen. Howard yesterday sent a letter of
condolence to Mrs. John B. Gough , ex
pressing his tondcrcst sympathy for her
in the itcop afllielion which overshadows
her homo.
m
"Tho first tlmol saw Mr. Gough , " re
marked Gen , Howard to a reporter , "was
a year or so since in the depot of Jersey
City. Ho was then witli his eldest daugh-
torproparing for a trip down the Hudson.
Ho seemed to bo in good health and spir
its and our conversation was an animated
and interesting one. 1 shall never for
get it. I had met him years hoforo when
ho was first coining into prominence as a
a temperance locturor. Since that
meeting a warm friendship has always
existed between us. Frequently hu used
to stop at my house in Washington on
his lecturing tours , so that I had plenty
of opportunities to become thoroughly
well acquainted with him , Ono great secret -
crot of his success , as I have observed ,
was his overpowering earnestness , Ho
used to bo perfectly carried away with
his subject when dwelling upon tlio theme
of intemperance ami in that fact lay the
secret of the complete mastery which ho
maintained over Ins audiences.
"The close of every lecture would find
him drenched to the skin with perspira
tion. Ho never failed after hu had fin
ished speaking to make a complete
change of clothing , and would then bit
down to suppor. Afterwards ho would
chat an hour or so with his friends , retir
ing to bed about midnight and arising
lalo in the morning He was a man ot
regular habits , which , coupled with th
fact that his was an iron constitution
enabled him to bear up btrougly inidor
the foartul mental and physical strain
which his dutiub imposed upon him. "
"Don't you know that I'd ruthor bo a
plumber with steady okerpaslmn than to
be prosidoivt of this yore .country , " he
s.iid when tlio reporter asked him how ho
liked his job. Ho was a { young plumber
and enthusiastic in the business and was
ruining the steam heater in tno local
rooms , with all his energies. "Why , say ,
the privcrlcgo of goin'inter cellars is
worth all the fun in the white house.
Well , now , maybe wo don't. Say , but
wo have moro good ontin' and drinkln'
than half the bon ton people around.
When wo go into the cclbirs of way-lip
guys , thcn's ' when wo least. Say , 1 WHS

there yon 6ver P66. There was a big bas
ketful of bottled elder. Say , the stuff
was gotten up in elegant shape with un

wire on the fust bottle tlio cork wont out
with a pop and broke an nrcay winder1

My , tint it was powerful rich and hard.
Say , I got away with three of them bottles
tles anil , damme , I got drunker'n a fool.
Say , I skccred the fam'ly and smashed
the hired girl in the eye and then went
out in tlio stable and slop1 the rest of the
day in the hay-mow. Say , maybe you
don't ' bnliovn that I'll ' light shy of bottled

of the extry dry kind , as this said on the
label. It's good drinkin1 , but Lor' I it
