"I hnvo never scon anything like it , "
snld Coroner Drexel yesterday , "for weeks
past I Iinvo li.id nothing to do , and now ,
within tlio last live clays there have been
three suicides. "
Tim Inst , and perhaps most sensational
of tlio three cases of self-destruction was
reported [ yesterday. Tlio victim hanra
Phillips , a young woman living In a
'routed room in tint house of Mrs. John-
Ron , at the corner of Fourteenth and .Jack
son streets.
A reporter for the BKI : , upon hearing
of the occurrence , at once posted to tlio
house and made n careful examination of
the circumstances of the case.
It flooniH that the girl , who had for
Bonio years been leading a llfo of shame ,
had n friend or lover mimed Frank
Dillon , with whom , it appears , she was
perfectly infatuated. Some days ago the
two had a quarrel , Laura accused her
I friend of coldness , and hinted that he
was trying to bestow his all'ectlons upon
another girl. On Sunday night she
heard that ho was at the dance
in Kessler'a hall , in comnany
with her rival , whoso nniiin
is Dora. She at once posted to the scene
of the dance , and Mire enough found him
tete-a-teto Lwitli the hated rival. Though
unrated beyond measure , shu managed
to control her passion sitllieiently to prevent -
vent a scciiio on the ball room tloor. Shu
jniulc her delinquent lover take her down
town and on the way listened coldly and
Incredulously to his protestations that
his affection for her was as warm as ever
nnd that ho did not intend to cast bur oil *
for Dora. The breach between the two
instead of being healed , grow rather
wider , and whan tlio two purled that
nltrlit , it was at the close of a violent quar-
rcl.
Monday afto r noon l aura Phillips remarked -
marked , in the hearing ot Airs. Johnson
and another girl who was in the house.
"I believe I'll Frank
just give a good
gcaro. You can send for him after a
while , and tell him I've taken poison. "
Nothing was thought of the remark
until about half-past 4 o'clock , when
Laura suddenly foil to the lloor deathly
pale and well nigh unconscious.
She was taken to her bed , but
instead of growing better rapid-
Ijy became worse. Dillon was
minnnonnd at once , and arrived to lind
her totallv unconscious aiul uuablo to
speak a word. Drs. Swetnani and Lucko
were called in , and after a hasty cxami-
nation of the girl's condition , decided
that she had taken morphine. The usual
I remedies wore applied , tlio doctors and
I their assistants working most of the
I night , but all to no avail. The young
Iwo'nian never came out of the state or
conm , into which she had fallen. At
lhalf past nine o'clock yesterday morning
lelioluieil , having spoken scarce a word
( from the tinio her condition was first dis-
covered. Coroner Druxel was at once
I summoned and held a inquest , which do-
Iveloncd the facts stated above. On tlio
Ibed lying by the side _ of the dead girl was
Ifpund a bloody pencil and a niecu of pa-
er , on which were written tiieso words :
'l. ' Laura Phillips , do sell my soul to the
ll , In consideration that liuf'iveiue youth ,
ncy , and the ability to triumph over my
cimcs.
1'inM.irs. "
writing was of a pale red color.
< l hardly decipherable. The girl had
udontly dipped the pencil in her life's
od , and with tins strange fluid for
onncl ( this last message. Just what
I ring this passage had nnon her own
to , it , is hard to sec. The sentiment
lf , as every theatcr-soisr will easily
rccflgni/o , is tlio vow made by the
sorcerer in the "Black Crook , " when
about to enter upon the ; service of the
clovil. It is possible that the young
woman saw the presentation of tins play
some weeks ago and that this passage
made u peculiar impression upon her
mind.
Though no bottle or anything used as a
eceptacle for poison was found in the
oem wliero the girl died , both doctors
are confident that morphine was the drug
used. Where shu got the poison no ono
knew. She was out Monday morning
or quite a length of time , ami it is sup-
osed that then she purchased and swnl-
owoil the deadly drug. Dr
uoko , in conversation with ft rp-
orter for the UKI : yesterday said
hat the dose must huvo been very largo ,
or living as she did some sixteen liour.s
fter taking the poison , she certainly
ould huvo passed the crisis and recov-
cd had the dose been a small ono. The
ung woman , who was about ' . ' ! ' years
of age , had lived in Omaha four years ,
sommg hero to work in tlio overall fae-
pry. She drifted into the life of an aban-
toned woman two or thrno years ago and
ins lived at various well known sporting
resorts around town. She has respoota-
io relatives in Villisca , Jowa , who have
een advised of the tragedy. The cause
for the rash act miiv undoubtedly be expressed -
pressed by the haoknoycd phrase , "Dis-
appointment in love. "
Prolwbly HOP First Sprco.
Btrctehed out on a bunk in the woman's
spll at the central station yesterday was a
'oung and pretty French girl , whoso
mime , according to the police record , was
Lulu Lony.o. The charge against her was
drunk and disorderly. She was richly
dressed and her beauty was set oft' by a
collection of rich gold and diamond jow-
lry. She was oyidcntly very ill , for when
ho olllcor came to take her before Judge
tcmbQi-gfor trial , she groaned pitcously ,
ind after staggering a few steps dropped
o the lloor , with "Von must lot mo alone ,
can't move , I can't move. " Lulu bil
-nine reckless Monday , and started out
with another girl to f'paint tlio town. "
eforp nightfall she was full of bad beer
iulvorso whisky , ami was arrested by
lu > police in a red hot state of intoxica
ion , It was her iirst spree , and it used
er up so badly that ior ti time the jail
Uendunts worn afraid that shu was
bout to cross the dark divide. One of
cr associates came up yesterday and

o her house , vowing that she would never

Ilnlcy 1'rorcK Himself no Match for
tlio Stnlwart I'm. Klllon.
It was nearly 0 o'clock Monday night
when Prof. 1'atsoy Fallen stepped
to the front of the stage at
the People's theatre and announced
that the evening's operations
would bo started with a sword swallowing
feat. At this time the audltorum was
well filled and when the sparring , which
was the great attraction , began the house
was crowded.
The light weight contest was between
Charles 1'otakl and Sam Stcphcnson ,
lioth men were clover with the gloves
and made interesting sport. In the last
round , however , Stcphenson struck
1'ot.ski while the latter was on his knees
nnd lost the match on a foul.
Charles Dougherty and Tom O'Uricn
tried conclusions for the heavy weight
medal. O'Hrien ' was tlio heavier Jinan ol
the two but his opponent's skill and quick
ness won him the match , During
the evening Fred Klsasser and George
Kendall lifted dumb bells. The struggle
was for endurance and Kendall easily
won. After they left the staee Mr. Fal
len stated that ho had heard that some
one In the audience had expressed a de
sire to match himself against Kendall in
putting ii ) ) the dumb-hells. "Is there
any money in It ? " cried a voice from the
crowd.
"There's enough to make it worth
your while to take oil' your clothes and
como up here , " rejoined Fallen.
Kendall expressed a willingness to con
test any two men , but no match was
made , although two men came to the
front with a blull' .
The event of the evening of course ,
was the match between Mike Halev , the
alleged champion of Iowa and I'atKillen ,
Parson Davics' Unknown. From the start
the odds were all in favor of Killen , who
possesses both the strength and
the skill requisite for a fighter.
The match was with four-ounce
gloves. which were pronounced
all right by Captain Cormick , who was
present for the purpose of seeing that the
law was not infringed upon. Haley
started put in such a manner that ho gave
the audience Iho impression that ho was
afraid of his opponent. Ho quartered
around Iho sia o , keeping as far as possi
ble from Killen. Ho aetod on tlio de
fensive throughout , striking only ono
blow which told. Killen stood up bold
and smiling and did verv effective work.
Haley , however , went down every time
he felt the pressure of a glove , and by
his cowardly tactics spoiled what would
have otherwise been an interesting exhi
bition. Killen rained in blow after blow ,
and when time was called at the end of
the first round it was evident that Haley
was worsted.
In tlio second round he was unwilling
to boar his punishment , and when the
round was Iialf over ho stretched himself at
full length ujon ) the lloor , and despite the
hisses and jeers of the audience , gave
up tlio match.
"This man , " said Mr. Fallen , stepping
to the front of the stage , ' 'claims to bo
the champion of Iowa. He is not lit to
be champion of anything. I know that
you are disappointed in him , and I can
only say that I was deceived in him. "
At this point there were loud calls for
Tommy Chandler , Killen's ' trainer. Air.
Chandler consented to spar three rounds
with Killen and succeeded in making a
very lively set-to , which was thoroughly
appreciated.
Dillon's bearing upon the stage won
him great applause , lie lias only been
in the ring a short time , but has been vic
torious in all his lights. He is a fine
specimen of physical beauty , and is so
well proportioned that his UlU pounds
weight is hardly manifest. The first light
he had was with liilo Stoddard whom ho
stopped in ono nnd one-half minutes.
His muich with Denny ICahler was de
clared a draw , but ho afterwards succeed
ed in knocking him out. Mike Dovinc ,
"Pinky"Boylan and Jack Morris in turn
fell easy victims to his prowess. The
hardest fight ho over had was with Joe
Lannon in St. Paid. Killen broke his liand
in the first round , but fought on until in
the ninth round ho was awarded tj o vic
tory. Killen is a modest , una.s. ' iming
man , but says that lie is willing to stand
up against any man in the country not
oven barring Sullivan.

A Drlcf Interview With Train or Tom
Clinndlor.
Mr. Tom Chiindlor , the trainer of Pat
Killon , was met Monday afternoon at
the Millard by a reporter for the BEE ,
who engaged him in a short conversa
tion about pugilistic matters. Mr. Chand
ler does not look like a lighter. Ills ap
pearance Is moro that of a gentleman of
leisure , or a prosperous business man ,
than tluit of a pugilUt. But for all that
liei.soncof the most clever sparrers in
America , and his well-cut , closse-fiUing
clothes cover a form which is intensely
muscular a form , too , which in marble
might well represent the Apollo IJulvi-
doro ,
"A'o , sir , " said Mr. Chandler , replying
to a question of the newspaper man , "I
do nut believe that Sullivan will over
sum-ell in getting a light out of that
n.w . KivjrlMi pugilist , Jem Smith , who
whlpiii-l A'f ' GiTeuiii-hl. Judging from
whll : have heard of .him , bmitli is a
"MI 1. . 1 man , but 1 don't think Jm can ever
stand UP bcloro John L. Knglish boxers
are very dUapuuiuliu . They utsvcr do iu
America what they claim lo be able to do
in England. There have been a dozen
stars sent over to this country within the
past lew years , and they have , ono and
all , gone homo badly whipped. So far as
tills Smith is concerned , lie may bo a
clover man , but it took him nine rounds
to lick Greenfield. 1 know that it would
not take Sullivan that long to accomplish
the sanin job. "
"Will Dempsey light Jack Burke * "
"No , sir , not according to my * notion.
Why , that Dcmpsoy is the most over
rated man in America to-day. Ho Inns
uo cr had any lights wortli speaking of
except ono with Peter McCoy and ono
with La ] Blanche , the Marine. Ho did
knock Iho latter out in pretty good style ,
but what docs that amount to ? La
Blanche is not a star lighter by a long
ways. So far as Dempsey's lighting
Burke is concerned , ho wouldn't stand
any more show of whipping the "Irish
Lad , " than a ton-year old boy would have
of whipping j'oit which is none at all. "

They Blasphemed.
"I have been in this world a long time , "
said Constable Dorsoy Houck to a re
porter Monday , "but I never was cursed
as bitterly and abused so roundly as I was
to-day. "
Mr. Houck was called upon to evict an
old lady. Mrs. Sullivan and her daughter ,
who baye occupied since last fall a house
on the corner of Seventh and Marcy
streets. The owner of the house , who'is
] rood naturcd enough , had reached the
limit of his patience , for Mrs. Sullivan
and her daughter have paid no rent for
the past live months. They refused to
? o out , when ordered to do so by Houck
lint finally thought bettor of it when they
saw a a brass-buttoned cop in tlio rear ,
who was brought there as a sort of reserve -
servo force. So they were obliged to
lack up and get , contenting themselves
near/while / with heaping violent abuse
upon the constable.
Douglas Horticulturists.
The Douglas County Horticultural so
ciety hold its monthly meeting on Satur-
lay , the 3d inst. Tlio usual routine bus-
jiess and election of new ollicers. A
iiroposition was considered relative to
iiolding tlio next exhibition of the society
n connection with that of the Douglas
L'ounty Agricultural association , and at
their grounds. A committee was ap
pointed to confer with the executive com
mittee of the association , and report at a
special meeting , to bo held on Saturday
the 17th inst.
An interesting paper was read by Mr.
James Y. Craig , on tlio management of
fruit trees , and also that on ornament
trees , shrubs , deciduous and evergreen ,
which elicited a good share of discussion.
Mr. Craig's paper is to be followed by
one by Mr. Emory.
The Second Rehearsal.
Prof. Pratt , the director of the festival
which is to be held here in June , met the
200 members of the chorus at Meyer's
Music hall Monday afternoon and
evening.
The result was very satisfactory , and
it is evident that the chorus will do good
work ,
The opening of the festival will occur
on June Oth. "By that time , " said Prof.
Pratt to a reporter , "I will have one of
the best-drilled choruses that can begotten
gotten up in this country. In the chorus
of three when Thomas'
years ago or
chestra was hero there wore 100 voices.
The chorus at this festival will bo larger
than that was by about ono hundred. "
A Good Scheme.
Secretary Naltingor , of Iho board of
trade , has called a meeting of the mem
bers of that organisation , and all outside
business men who are interested in
Omaha's welfare , for this even
ing. The object of the meeting is to dis
cuss tlio formation of a stock company
for the purpose ot encouraging manufac
tures. This move is made in accordance
witli a resolution adopted some weeks
ago , upon committee report. The object
of the projected organization will bo to
correspond with manufacturers desiring
a location , and to oiler inducements
which will cause them to come to Omaha.

Some Pertinent Itomnrtcs About the
LiCAKue of American 'Wlicclmcn ,
As the season advanccstlt behooves the
enterprising wheelman toltako his bicycle
out of tlio collar or garret and clean and
oil its bearings , for ho will soon have n
chance totiso it.
The wheelmen of Nebraska nro some
what scattered and unknown to onch
other. Aside from the occasional visit
to ono of the annual meets of the Omaha
Wheel club , or the appearance of their
names in the oflicial bulletin of tlio
League of American Wheelmen , they arc
seldom heard of , and these who are not
members of that organization , never.
To the increasing number ot wheelmen
in this state , especially those situated in
towns not largo enough to support clubs ,
the advantages of having a state division
of the League of American Wheelmen
are clearly apparent. It creates a social
feeling , and members become acquainted
with' ' each other. It can elect consuls
to aid in directing wheelmen touring
through the country , and the wheelmen
of this state who are members of the
League of American Wheelmen are
earnestly requested to assist in forming
one , ami those who are not members are
requested to join the League of American
Wheelmen. Other states smaller than
ours huvo divisions , and there is no rea
son why Nebraska should not have one.
The League of American Wheelmen is
composed of nearly one thousand mem
bers. 11 has an able counsellor who aids
in all matters concerning the rights of
wheelmen on public roads , and an ofli
cial weekly millctm. which alone is
worth the price of initiation fee and duos ,
and hits special rales for league mem
bers at the principal hotels throughout
the country.
Members of the L. A. W. in this state
who read this arc. requested to send in
their names , and those who are not mem
bers , but desire to become members of
; ho L. A. W. aim Nebraska division , to
send 50 cents initiation fee and 75 cents
dues , or $1.25 , to Mr. Warren M. Rogers
or Charles M. Woodman , treasurer of
Omiilm Wheel club , Omaha , and their
names will bo scut in with the list now
jcing made up to compose the division.

A Case That May Ho Ono of mis
taken Identity.
Charles Wagner , a 20-year-old youth ,
was brought before Judge Stenberg yes-
icrday to answer to a charge of i steal
ing $39 from Frank Domogine. Inquiry
levelopcd a curious state of affairs.
Domogino is n German wiio makes a
iving by "clioring" on a iurni. Ho is
an industrious fellow , saves his money ,
md never spends it foolishly. Last
summer he was working on Tom Mur-
ay's farm with a man who answered
the description of Wagner. . The latter
went into tlio German's room ono night ,
and breaking open his trunk took there-
rom a purse of 850 and Hod. Domogino
las never given up the hopo'ot meeting
the tliicf some dav. and lias kept a sharp
ook-out for hinl ever since. A few
days ago ho heard that the
.hief was working in a lard refinery in
soutn Omalia , under the name of Charles
iVagncr. He went to the place in com-
> any with an olliccr , nnd after much hesi-
ation decided that Wagner was the thief.
The latter , though protesting his inno
cence , was placed under arrostnnd landed
n the central station. Ho claims that he
can clearly prove an "alibi" , by showing
hat at the time Domoginowas robbed ,
10 ( Wagner ) was working ifor another
man than Tom Murray.
Tne case was postponed until to-day
.n . order to giyc an important wit
ness time to get in his testimony.

Mr. William Magncr , who lives on
South Ninth street , opposite the Canfield
house , had the misfortune yesterday to
lose a pair of pants , a coat , and a valu
able gold watch. They were stolen from
him by a thief , who broke into his room
early in the morning. Mr. M. was awake
at the time , but being particularly gifted
in tlio matter of prudence , did not think
it best to pick a quarrel with the thief
or prevent his walking nwaj with the
property. Mr. Magner says that ho does
not want to bo disobliging , and if the
thief will only hand in his address the
vest will bo sent to him , in order to make
the suit complete.
