Cnatoillans of Fumlfl Vor tlic Poor JMsRtiatcilVllli Frauds The Col ored Htnbbpr's I'lcix rollco News and General Local. licslle's Slayer Tells tlio Story. Yesterday morning the defense in the Powell murder trlnl continued the hitro * dtictlon of testimony. M y 'limnions nnd MlnnJo 1'ostor , who came out of tlio church about llio time the pistol shot wns lircd , testified Hint Leslie drove Powell back several feet in n threatening manner before ho drown revolver. Sergeant Turner , of company G , Fort Oiniihn , swore that Leslie had said to him n day or so before the shooting that ho was poinir to have trouble with n man nbout his size. "I nskcd Leslie if ho meant me , " said Sergimtit Turner , " remarking - marking that if lie wanted trouble with me , I was the man for him. " Ho replied , "No. I nm KW K to 'wo ' ! i quarrel witli another man. " Krncst Brandt , who owns a saloon at Florence , testified tli.it on tlio night of the shooting Leslie had couio into his place nnd taken several drinks , and as lie started out said : "Lot's ' tie out and do up the . " ( Jeorgo Foster tcstillcd tlial Leslie had remarked to him one day , "Powell is watching mo , and I am goiiij * to kill tlio . " long-moustachcd John W. Timmons , Archibald Tnttlo , Jolin Tuttle , ( icorgo Cowin and J. A. Andrews tcstillcd to tlio circumstances attending iv light between Powell and Leslie m Scptembor previous to the shooting. At that time Leslie had called Powell a coward and slniek lit him , and was knocked down by Powell's return blow. When Leslie got on Ids feet again the fljht was renewed anil the men wore finally separated by friends. Leslie : it that limo threatened to kill Powell the first opportunity ho had. llcv. A. C. Smith was then called and was questioned as to Leslie's dying state ment , which hnd been sworn to by Dr. Soloman. Lawyer liaUlwhi of the coun sel for the state strenuously objected to the evidence being admitted , but the court overruled the objection , as Dr. Soloman had sworn that Air. Smith was present when the dying statement was made. Mr. Smith then recounted the fcceno when Leslie was told that he could not live , and how he had prayed for him. lie had not , however , heard the dying declar ation which Dr. Soloman testilicd to. Orin J , Shipley was also called and testified in regard to the former trouble between Leslie and Powell , corroborat ing the evidence of the previous witnesses - nesses v Powell was then placed on the stand in his own. defense. lie told the story of the shooting in a clear , straightforward man ner , and also related how tlm other figlil took place in September. Ho said that Mrs. Timmons had told him that Leslie had threatened to kill him , and ho lusked her if she thought Leslie meant it , nnd she said yes. Ho had then made up his mind that ho would have no more trouble with Leslie if he could help it Powell also paid ho did not know that bo had shot Leslie until seine time after the occurrence , and when ho did hear of it ho came to Omaha and gave himself up. A rigid cross examination followed , conducted by Mr. Baldwin , but the wit.- ness answered clearly and was not in the least disconcerted. His entire testimony was without a contradiction , and evi dently told in his favor with tlio jury. At its conclusion couit adjourned for tlio night. The counsel for the state has ex pressed its intentions to introduce wit nesses in rebuttal , but it is expected that not much more time will bu consumed in taking evidence. The arguments will be made both sides and it is on to-day , con fidently expected that the case will bo given to the jury late this afternoon. MlSPLiACEl ) CIIAItlTV. The Aid Association Disgusted with Their Job nnd Give it Up. The Woman's Christian Aid associa tion yesterday announced their intention of ceasing to dispense clothing and pro visions to the poor with the funds pro vided thorn for that purpose from the pro ceeds of the charity ball. Tlio reason given for this action was that they had boon imposed upon to bucli an extent as to entirely discoitrago them in ascertain ing who tlio worthy poor are. They have been constantly in receipt of appli cations for aid , and nave endeavored to relieve distress and hiiU'oring wherever found. It has come to their knowledge , however , that n number of people who have been thus helped are entirely un worthy of assistance , and have squan dered and sold that which has been pro vided them in riotous living and debauch ery. ISoing unable , they claim , to ascer tain who arc worthy and who are not , they have reached the conclusion that tlio funds can bo dispensed to better advant age by persons more experienced with llio class of people with whom it is nec essary to deal. They have referred the matter to the managers ot the charity ball for their consideration. Jlo Plniuln Not Guilty. Yesterday morning , Glover the negro slabber was brought into court When the judge told him that ho was accused of commuting upon Myrtle Grant an as sault with intent to kill lie replied sullen ly that lie had not cut tlio woman and was not guilty of the charge. Stewart , a negro whoso wife keeps tlio house in which the woman was stabbed , stopped up at this juncture and asked to bo al lowed to testify. Ho stated that Myrtle had Bent him up to tell the judge that Glover ought not to bo prosecuted as he did not do the stubbing. She declared that she had snatched the Knlfo from the table , intend ing to cut Glover with it , that she had made a tnrust at him which ho throw oil' ( vith his arm , that ho tried to wrest the weapon from her , and to prevent his doing so slio had put the knlfo buhiud her , and falling backward had plunged it into her bide , Stewart further tu&tiliod that lie had oncn before noticed this sumo knife in Myrtle's possession , and hail tried to got her to give it up , but without success. He hud notified Glover , lie said , to take it from her , but he had failed to . do so. Judge Stcnberg re-committed the negro for further examination , in default of bail. The story of tlio young woman is not credited , though she Micks to it per- mslontly. It is thought that her affection for her black lover has nerved her to pro tect him from the consequences Of the rash deed , which may yet cost her life , An Obstinate Jury. The jury in the case of Gsantnor vs the Omaha Holt railway , which was on all Wednesday night , came into court yesterday morning and reported that thoj wore unable to agivo. Jmlgo Wakolo } ordered them to return to the jury room lo further consider the case , but at .0 p'cloek last oveninc : tliqy were still uu ttblo to agree , 'llio judge thoreilpoi ordered them to again be looked up In the ury room , and if they should agree before fore court reconvened in the inorninj , Uiey should prepare- scaled verdict. ODDS AND ENDS. Stray ticnvcs From tlio llcnortcrs' Note Books. In speaking of the number of children , especially boys , who are constantly run ning the streets of Omaha and commit- ing numberless crimes , Judge Stcnberg remarked yesterday that it was an out rage that many of thorn had not been sent to the reform school at Kearney. ' Why , 1 had a letter only the other day from the superintendent , " said his honor , and he writes that there is only one per son in the institution from Douglas county. In the last live years there have only been five boys sent to the school from this county an average of onuayear. This is certainly not right. The reform school has now over 150 Simmies' , and it is safe to say that Douglas county pays one-tenth of the cost of maintaining the institution. I 1 wish I had the power , nnd I would soon x have a largo delegation at Kearney4from Omaha. .That's where any quantity of tlicso young thieves should go , and then , perhaps , they could bo reformed and saved from a lifo of crime. " "Dusincss in St. Louis is mighty dull at present , " remarked a gentleman from that city to a reporter last night , " espec ially for the retail trade. The fact is that there is very little stirring in the town at present and I can't say that the outlook for the future is very bright , cither. The trade in each line of business is inonopo- i/.ed by a few big houses , which pool to crush out the smaller ones by forcing town prices until they cannot stand the competition , and are driven to tlio wall , n this way , a , sort of monopoly in each ino of trade is being formed. In the- vay of wholesale holinc.s I think that SI. Louis is doing more at present than for sonio years past. " "Tho time Is not very far distant , " said a theatrical man to a reporter tlio oilier day , "when the popular prices of 25 , 85 and fiO cents will bo charged by hoatrcs all over the country. Managers ire beginning to realize that there is not ho money in big prices that there used o bo that it is bettor to have big crowds at n low jirico of admission than lo have small crowds at a high price. Already n the east the movement in favor of low ) fices i.s steadily growing in strength and lirmly believe it is bound to sweep over the entire country. " As before mentioned in tlio Unr. the Jnion stockyards company intends to mt up one or two packing-houses in aoiith Omaha this year. Messrs. 1'axton ind McShano have been in Chicago ncgo- iating with parties who are dosirious of securing the contract. The plans under contemplation will increase tlio capacity or slaughtering hogs by about one thou sand hogs per day. In addition , it is nt- norcd , that South Omaha is to secure mother beef slaughtering plant this year. When the Q Irani came in Yesterday ho familiar presence of Charles E. Squires responded lo the announcement vhistle of the locomotive. This had a cedar block smell about it , and when the Dundreary whiskers under i "Dunlap" and over a military overcoat of drab , of A. L. Harbour , of Washing- on , made their appearance , tlio BEE com- noncod to buzz. 'I here were echoes from Trinidad in the air and an aroma of tar as an accompaniment. Col. Barbonr was ntroduccd to a carriage by Air. Squires at the depot and introduced to a BEE re- lortor at the Millard , by Davenport , ho horned Elk. In reply to the usual greetings the gentleman from "Clove- .ami's garden" said ho felt well. His looks corroborated the statement. How long lie was to remain in town was answered in the manner of a "monopoly witness" "I don't know. " Col. Barbour is a good gontlomanhow ever , and touched the conversational linrp gently by saying , "I suppose you think I'm on the pave ? " "Not exactly , " was the response , "bnt the Omaha public would like to know if your return visit has any significance which would bo suggestive in the matter of street contracts. " "No fiirl You can tell your many readers that they will lind out very soon that cedar blocks are like the measles. They may got them once , bnt a double dose is not at all desired. All wo desire is good , satisfactory work for the equiva lent given us. Lot the cedar blocks come on , but it will bo a very short time before practical men in fact every one with an observant and painstaking view , will give the cedar blocks a negative. " Police Court Notcn. The irrepressible John Kelley faced Judge Stcnborg in the police court Tues day to answer to a charge of intox ication.-Ho had just been released yes terday from a term of imprisonment , and had not boon out of jail throe hours before - fore the police picked him up in a state of intoxication. "Ycr honor , " ho pleaded , "if yor'll only lot mo go this time , I'll never take another drop of whisky as long as I live. I'll go right down and join the Woman's Temperance association. Yes , I will , yor honor. Be sides , yor honor , I can't all'ord to bo sent up to jail agin. I can toll by the symptoms in my system that another fit of sickness is approaching upon me. " This was a ' 'clincher , " and Judge Slcnbcrg released Kelley on the condition that he should go nt once and take the pledge. Frank McNamara , charged with intox ication , was discharged , William Snyder , John Bonnor , Nel Robinson , and Barney llackman , on a similar charge , wore lined i ? , ! and costs. Hacknian paid and the others were re leased. John Kcono was lined $10 and costs for disturbing the peaco. Isaac Glover was arraigned for assault ing Myrtle Grant , as mentioned else where , Ho plead not guilty and was re manded to jail. Hans Timm , charged with disturbance of the peace , was released , Charles Whitney , a vagrant , was com mitted to the county jail for thirty days. Church Olllcoi-s. The North Presbyterian church on Snundcrs street above Cuining held its annual meeting last nightat which much ntcrcst in the affairs of the clmr ch was manifested. The report of the treasurer shows a very favorable condition of affairs , and the congregation t > tart out on iv now year of work free from debt. The church is also much encouraged in its spiritual outlook. At its recent com munion season eleven person ? wore added to the churcli , rolls and quite n largo accession is expected in tlio near future. At present the Hov.V. \ . H. Hen derson is scrying as pastor. The following olllccrs wore elected last night to As elders for four servo : years , . . . _ . r \ ii i > > ! ! ii i't i 1 - * * ltlnu * V/t Vtltu * UtV4O | If * 44 * 441L * U t IU | Will H. Anderson for two years , and J. II. Plotvs for one your Knight Gets the County Grading. After protracted.- waiting the county commissioners yesterday definitely decided - cided 0.0 letting the. contract for county road work during the coming season. The bid of Mr. Congdou , which caused co much discussion nnd hesitancy on the part of the commissioners , was rejected , and the contract was awarded to 11. P. Knight. According to the calculations and measurements made by the commis sioners. Mr. Knight's bid is consid erably lower than Mr. Congdon's , and Mr.'I inimo yesterday informed a Bui : representative that the letting of the con tract to Mr. Knight would result in a saving to the county of nbout $1,800. The fact was yesterday discovered that while tlio board has bcnn figuring on "Mr. Congdon's bid at ten cents a yard for a fiveTiundrcd foot haul , the bid was in reality eleven cents for that distance. How the mistake occurred is not known. Mi. Knight yesterday agreed to accept the plan of measurement which tlio com missioners propose , and the contract was thereupon awarded to him. Army Notes. The excitement in army headquarters over the announcement of Gen. Terry's succession to llio senior major-gcnoraloy , ms in a measure subsided. There is a general feeling of disappointment and surprise , however , that Gen. Howard did lot receive llio appointment. The gen eral himself yesterday had nothing : o say about the mailer , positively doclin- 'ng to bo interviewed. Mr. E. J. Davis , who has been clerk for Col. Henry , has been appointed and promoted meted to chief clerk of the adjutant gen eral of llio department , a very important ind responsible posilion. Mr. Davis is a veteran soldier in addition to being a man of intelligence , as the following hon orable record of service shows : Served as drummer , private , corporal and sergeant U. S. Artillerv , IS.IT-ISU : ! ; chief wagon- master , cavalry division , private and ser geant Seventh cavalry ; captain Twenty- fourth regiment National guards , stale of New York ; chief clerk of adjutant gene ral of the department of Dakota ; clerk in quartermaster and commissary depart ment , and assistant lo engineer in charge of llio Mississippi river improvements ; engaged in dismounting Sioux Indians ; member of soeiety of llio army of the Po tomac , and commander of post o Grand Army of the Republic ; lieutenant-colonel and aid-do-camp lo Gen. Sickles , G. A. U. During the war engaged in the battles of Yorktown , Savage Station , Alalvern Hill , bailie of Fair Oaks , Glendale , second Bull Run , Seven Pines , Fredricksburg , Chan- cellorsville , Gettysburg and Union Mills. The army o Ulcers wore , most of them , in full-dross yesterday on account of ses sion of the retiring board on the case of dipt. Valois. No action has yet been taken on the mailer. A general court martial has been ap pointed to meet at Fort llobinson , Nob. , on Wednesday , March 10 , or as soon thereafter as practicable , for the trial of such persons as may bo properly brought before it. Tlio detail for the court is as follows : Captains Coatcs , Parker and Hoed : First Lieutenants Humphrey and Wright ; Second Lieutenants Schon and McAnnnoy ; Second Lieutenant Bcttens , Ninlh cavalry , judge advocate. The Blasting Accident , The funeral of Matthew Hayes , the vic tim of the bridge blast at Valley , has been postponed until this afternoon. The remains were removed yesterday from the undertaker's to the residence of Mrs. Will S. Hayes , corner of Seven teenth and Loavemvorth streets , and will bo taken to-day over the Rock Island road to Chicago for interment. The deceased was the oldest of a family six four sons and two daughters. Howas born in 1831 , was a bridge-builder by trade , and has boon in the employ of the Union Pacific compunyfor fourteen years. His first work lor the company was on the bridge ever the Missouri at this point. For several years past ho has boon foreman of a bridge gang employed by tlio company at vari ous points on the road. The cause of the accident , which resulted in his death , was related by himself to his mother. "Wo wore blasting the ice around the piers , " said ho , "to prevent damage to the bridge when llio ice went out. I had jit the fuse to a blast , and after waiting some time for the exploMon , I took the fuse in my hand to relight itwhen the explosion - plosion occurred.1' Matthew was the third of the brolhers to moot with sudden and violent death. The first , also a bridge builder employed on the Union Pacific , was killed by a hand-car on the road nine years ago ; Will S. , a telegraph operator employed in this city , died suddenly one vcar ago , and now the oldest and favorite son is taken in the prime of lifo , making fresh wounds in llio hearts of aged parents and relatives , and his associates on the road , by whom ho was loved as a brother and tried friend. Robert Hayes , the only surviving brother , arrived from Eagle Hock , Idaho , yesterday Cam ! will accompany the remains to Chicago. Six of the bridge building force , ot which Alattliow was foreman , came in from Valley yesterday to act as pall-bearers , and will re main until their last sad duty to their friend and fellow-workman is performed. R Over a Brewery. Victor Drclier commenced suit in llio district court yesterday against Frederick Wagner lo secure an accounting of part nership affairs. The petition of the plaintiff alleges that in November , 1831 , ho entered inlo a part nership with Wagner to run an ale and beer brewery in tills city. Both plaintiff and defendant put in a certain sum of money and a building was erected on a picco of property owned by Drohor. Ev erything wont smoothly until March , 1885 , when it became necessary to pay the $1,000 , license to tlio city. The part ners consulted together and it was agreed that Iho business they worn doing would not warrant thorn in incurring the expense of the license. Accordingly'thoy determined to lease the brewery to a sa loon man named Lykko. for the nominal sum of $ r > 0 a year , and that ho should run it under the regular saloon license which ho paid lo the city. In the meantime. Drohor accepted a position as foreman of a brewery in Fremont. Since that tigreomont was made the plaintiff alleges that Wagner refuses to make any accounting of the profits of tlio brewery , though ho ( plaintiff ) has good reason lo believe that the establishment is making monoy. Further , Mr , Drehor claims , ho fears that Wagner so soon as Iho nominal lease of Lykko expires on March 20,1880 , will 'fraudulently dispose of the brewery property to him. For Ihis reason Drohor asks Unit Wagner bo en joined from so disposing of the property until ti full partnership accounting is mado. _ Ho Thought Ho AVtis Home. A pohco call was sent to headquarters about 0 o'clock last night from Seven teenth and Douglas streets , and Oilicora Pieronct and Trimblo were sent to as certain the trouble. Arrived at the place named they found an inebriated individual stretched on his back in the snow softly humming "Home , sweet homo. " When shaken by the oNcers ho responded by ordering Hid olllcers not to pull the bed clothes off him , and grasped in both hands the snowy sheet which enveloped his form , Ho was tenderly picked-up nnd conveyed to'the con trill police sta tion wliero lie was given a warmer bed than his'fQrmor couch of snow and reg istered under the mime of "John Doe.1 MOHE OP "THE BKAUTlFUIi. " The City Mantled TrttH Snow Notes of the Storm. The March edition of "Old Boreas" was a "hail" fellow well rfiet , or in other words the snow ycstcrdaymorning came In the night before with Icicles. It was a sudden call for rnbbor boots and over shoes , and tlio female walkers had one advantage over a damp rainy day the curbstone audience had to indulge in tlio belief that distance lent enchantment to the latest style of hosiery. The street cars did not como out with the lark. In fact tome ot the routed , like St. Alary's avenue , upper Farniim , lower Cuining and North Elghlconlh streets had snow plows perambulating until the noonday hour. "There Is no danger of a cold snap just now , " remarked Signal Observer Pollock. "Tho storm is eon oral more so than I have known it at this time of the year llieso March storms , I moan. The lowest ) oint of coldness last night was at Helena , Mont. , where the thermometer registered 11 ° above. Snow is prevailing west of hero to North Platlo. Beyond that the snow of hist night lias ceased. At Denver they are having the white flakes tailing in goodly quantity , and if I didn't think I mightbo ordered out that way some day 1 would remark it is the only kind of heavenly visitation they can over expect. There has been snow in nearly all portions of Dakota and Mon- lana. In Utah very little. In fact at Salt Lake Iho latest reports show it was clear. The gods , it .seems , have changed their mantle for llio Dosorot saints. " ( Two live c.mt cigars wore telephoned for at once. ) , 'C.ui ' you form any idea of the duration of the storm ? " "None whatever. The barometer is too uniform. All I can say is that It is gen eral and that there is but little fear of severe cold or blizzards. " In the city the Hooey covering of the streets over the firm , icy base left by the last storm was improved upon by sleighs. The Messrs. Patrick , who always lialo these winter sports , were out willi their attractive conveyances. The military also was well represented , and many far mers took time by the forelock for run ning gear. It is not likely the storm will last over the "proverbial three days timo" and at any rate it's a good storm at this season bettor far than next week or an "April fool" and had before as seine snow to como fore the flowers bloom in the spring , it is bolter for tlio early bird to have to take it than the ancient crow , who on mill-March sits on tlio fences observing the geometrical lines of the plows fur rows and expecting a seed time to be. HAIL Tlt.YVEL OI'KX. The snow did not cease to fall until about 9 o'clock last evening , the storm thus lasting continuously for nearly twenty-four hours. At midnight , however - over , snow began to fall again , but not so rapidly as during the day. Although as heavy a body of snow fell as during any similar period this season , still traffic was not greatly impeded. Trains from the cast "were nearly on time , and little trouble was experienced from the storm. Train 4 on the Union Pacific , duo at 5:20 : last night , was about two hours late , and the outgoing passenger was delayed about an hour in leaving. The stock yards trains in the afternoon experienced the greatest trouble , sho\clers being obliged to clear the tracks at several points before the engine could force its way along. The Omaha & Republican Valley train , duo hero at 1:15 : yesterday aftcrnpon , hail not arrived at a late hour last night. The delay was not , however , caused by Ihc slorm so much as by the ice gorge at Valley. The condition- the road at that point could not bo. ascertained last night , and it was uncertain at what lime the train would arrive. Pcrsoiml Paragraphs. J. A.
