The decorations In tlio rink were chaste and orna mental , and made without regard to cost. All thu arrangements were carefully made and successfully carried out.

Evans Is a "Hlaiwhtor-housu" democrat , and the p.ickhig-hoiibo wing of Iho party hero are led- ing pretty sore over his appointment. There were four candidates for tlio position : U. J.

AYOCA , Neb , , April 11. [ Special Tele gram. ] Tlio preliminary examination In thn case of the State vs. Ella Hulls , charged with the murder of her child , was held before Jus tice Robert Mnlconi. The first witness on the part of the state was Morrh Hulls , brother of Charles Butts , ngcd about 73 years , who testi fied he had been living witli Ills brother about JO years. He ( list discovered the child's body , near the stable , ( lie hogs shaking It about. He called to the hired man , Hobbi , to comedown and keep the hogs away until liC' could go to the house and tell the family. Ills brother Charles and wife , and a Airs. Holts and Mrs. Ncnmastcr then came down and saw IL Witness then took the body and placed It In a box and put It In the granary , and next day bulled It , His brother and wife said they would notify the doctoral Avoca. Cliarlcs llohbs , the next witness , employed by Charles Units , corroborated Morns Butts In regard to finding the body. Ho heard no remarks mndo bv Iho family , but the mother of Ella told him ho need not say anything about It ; that they would bury It accoidlng to law and glvo notice to the doctor. Knowing that ho was going to Avoca , they took no pains that day to send word by him or by any one to notify the authorities that they had found a human body on their premises. Ho learned , on Thursday morning , llml nothing had been done by the Butts family , and ho then made II known to the authorities. Mrs. Charles Butts , the third witness , told a carefully propaicd story , to which each mem ber of the family adhered. The llrst she kntw of the babe Doing found was when her broth er-in-law wanted them lo go down and see what I in had found. Hiram Butts , brother of Ella , testified sub stantially that ho know nothing about the finding of the body , and seemed to care very little about the matter. Mrs. Belts , sister of accused , testified to nbout the same thing. Mrs. Ncnmastcr , a German woman , ad mitted that she sometimes acted as midwife , but knew nothing about the child until the ( hiding of the dead body. She could not re member whether she was there Tuesday or Wednesday befoio the child was found. Went down to see It ; and saw that the lens and arms wcrcoatcn off by the hoes. Ella was In bed when she got there that day. Doctor Packard testified that in his opin ion the young woman had , within two or Ihree days , given birth to a child , and that it was his opinion that the child had boon bora alive. The result of Iho examination on yesterday was that Ella Butts was held for trial on the charge of murder In Iho second degree. Court at Ncbr.aslcn City. NnmsAHKA CITV , Neb. , April 11. fSpe- clal.J The dlslrict couit has adjourned until the 0th lust , when Judge Pound will ouicl- ate for the remaining few days. The cases Ihat have so far been taken up and disposed of liavo notbcbii of any public Impoitanco , except , It may be , the state case against Iloiihllhan , Anderson and Simpson , who cot ono year's sentence In the penitentiary on pleading guilty to the charge of breaking Into an old colored lady's house a few weeks since. The sentence Is a light one , but It Is to be hoped will have the desired effect. When the case of William Hawko vs Sadie Ilawko was called the plaintiff's attoiney asked that It might be dismissed , but this motion was strenuously opposed by counsel for the defendant , who asked that the costs and attorney's fee of the defendant bo paid befoio said c.iso was dismissed , and his honor sustained the motion , and now the plaintiff will have to como down with a llttlo cash or else the cause will remain in its place on the docket. Tills action on tlio part of the plaintiff can only In reason bo attributed to the fact that ho has no good cause for his ground of action , and which fact tlio mass of Iho public have always believed. The case of Ann Ilathbone vs Nebraska City , In which she claimed 85,000 damages for a broken arm , caused by slipping on the Ice whllo walking on the pavement In front of the ' 'Mint" saloon , one day a year ago last winter , was up before a jury during this term of court , a verdict being brought In of 51,200 in favor ot plaintiff , much to the sur prise o nil who heard the case. It Is hardly necessary to say that an appeal will be taken to the supreme court , the transcript for the same having already been ordered. It Is strange and causes no llttlo comment among our people that hero the 10th day of April has arrived and as yet no settlement ha ? been mndo with the latocounty treasurer , Iukn W. Simpson. The commissioners seem not willing to rush the si < ttlomcnt to a close until the treasurer's hooks have been examined by an expeit , and the expert seems to l < o a long time getting hero. Numerous out's have been written to nbtmt the matter , and It may bo sate to bay that within a week or two one or more will bo on the ground and at wort. _ _ _ _ _ A Mail Man's Proalc. llin : CLOUD , Neb. , April 11. fSpeilal Tele gram ] Some twi/yoirsaso or llipioabouts , ono Jack Hartnmn , from Switzerland , fell or jumped from the Cannon Ball wcslfioin hcie and was miraculously lescued.

FAVORABLE REPORTS RECEIVED. But the Expected Advance.Do Not Coino ns Hnplilly n i'Anticipat ed HOAV the Strike Affect ed tlio Market. The World of Stocks. Niw VOIIK , April 11. ( Special Tclceram. ] Wall street has iciiialned In a waiting ulood throughout the past week. There was no special feature to Monday's nml Tuesday's operations , but news from nil quarters oil Wednesday morning was altogether favor able and the outlook was promising. Naturally the maikct opened higher on Wednesday morning , the gains over the piovlons evening ranging generally from J < to % j > cr cent , but a combination of favortiblo news had a less Immediate cITeet upon prices than was conlidently anticipated by sangulno operators. The enthusiasm of the specula tors received Its first check from the news re garding the strike on the southwestern roods , and later by the statements that the lines In the northwest Imd not been successful In their final arrangements , as the indications promised they would bo Wednesday morn ing. As tlmo wore on it bccnmo autfarrnt that a good deal was yet to bo done before final settlement was reached In sev eral of the cases In which Wall street was di rectly Interested , and in consequence the bull element of the street developed a won derful waiting disposition , that continued up to the close of business yesterday. At the sruno time the general condition of affairs Is such as to rob the bears of nil confidence , and hence sales for short account have been made with extreme caution. Manifestly the bears during the past week have only been testing the temper of the street , and have not recnlvcd snfliciont assurance of a weakening tendency for them to Inctease their linos. A sharp attack upon individual stocks , ono after another , has been kept up , but the mo ment that the pressure was removed It was found that the stock was roadv to rcaiimo what appeared to bo its normal position for the time , at or near the top licuros. It Is not so easy to explain why , with this strength in prices , further advances have not been made. The most plausible reason given by the bulls why prices have not advanced more rapidly under the favorable news of the week , is found In the argument that the leading oper- atois on that side of the market weio taken bymuprlso on Wednesday morning at the sudden change In the general condition of aflulrs , and licnca they wore not ready for a decided advance until they had supplied themselves with a longer line of their favor ite stocks. The somewhat unfavorable news received durlug the latter part of the week has materially aided operators , who sought to buy stocks without advancing quotations , and the known transactions of ccit.Uu prominent operators have given color to the belief that they have been steadily ac cumulating stocks since Wednesday morn ing. Nearly all the active htocKs are higher than a week ago , but gains , as a rule , are less than 3 per cent. Thr-ro has boon persistent bulling , however , of some of the usually in active stocks , such as St , Paul & Dulutli , which has advanced over 11 percent on vagno and indefinite reports that the company's earnings showed a. very decided improvement over previous years , and that tin arrangement would bo made for the payment of dividends on common stock. " Trading in on ly four stocks amounted to as much as 100,000 shaies each. These wcso Lackawanna , Laico Shore , St. Paul & Pacific and Pacific Mall , In the order named ; and they jointly contrib uted a llttlo over one-half the week's busi ness. Statements regarding Transcontinen tal affairs have been more or less conflicting , but It was generally conceded yesterday that the railroads had succeeded in coming to a satisfactory agreement as to the basis of set tlement , and thoonly remaining trouble grow out of the stubbornness of the managers of the Paclllc Mail Steamship company to renew their agreement with the railroads. A HOUSING nEVlVAIj At the Exposition Building Last Night Synopsis of Spec-dies. "Standing room only" did not apply to the revival meeting : it the exposition building last night. Fully 10,000 people were present , and a most enthusiastic meeting it was. Tlio balcony , as well as the main hall , \vuis crowded , gentlemen standing in order that ladies might sit. Some sevciUy-livci ladies and gentlemen composed the choir. The room was filled witli chairs , in the center being a largo stand , or "pulpit" upon which the preachers and choir stood. "Tlio Lily of the Valley , " was one of the songs before prayer , which was delivered by Ucv. llarslm , of the First Presbyterian church. There wcro many visiting clergymen from sifctor churches present among whom were : Shirre.ll , of the Congregational ; llarfalm , of the Presbyterian ; Bradrick , of the West Omaha McthodLst ; Fowler of the South Tenth Street Methodist ; Gon. Howard , Kov. Mr. Frost and Mr. Hiiro of Chicago. The silence preserved throughout ( ho evening &howed fully tlio interest taken in the terviccs. Such a mammoth re vival has never before been witnessed in Omaha , and the feeling among the church-going people is that much good will bo done , and especially since the meetings are to bo held in the exposition building. One tbing , however , must not bo forgotten , and that is , to the worldly-minded ono of the principal features of the meetings is the singing , which if "simply immense. " The walls of the building were decorated with gaily iminted quotations from tlio scripture. A bugle added greatly to the force and smoothness of the meeting. So many people came that the doorkeepers were comucllcd to turn some away. There was not oven standing room. Many members of other churches were _ in at tendance and took active part in the ser vices , making this a rousing mcetinir , and ono thai outranks any ever held lii the west. Kov. Bitlor spoke as follows : "I want to say. dear friends , that our house to-night is bigger than our faith , Order must bo kept m order that all can enjoy those meetings. Lot every person hero inako himself or herself a committee of one to preserve order. " After Uov. tycKnig had road a chapter from the bible , the congregation sang "Church Rallying Song.'r The I'U'cctwas powerful. Kov. MoKaig mail a the following an- noiineemunts ; A prayer meeting will bo held at noon in the V. M , C. A. hall every day of this week. TJiero will alfso bo a prayer meeting in this building at U o'clock , to which wo wifeh airto bo present. Young people's prayer inept- mg , for gentlemen and ladies , a half an .hour before services begin , in the rccopt tion room. Next sabbath afternoon tit 3 o'clock Brother Bitlcr will give a talk es pecially for young men. No ono permit ted to come in except "men" between 18 and 35 years of age. None will be ad mitted except by presenting n ticket nt the door. Iho profits of the sale of thu song book will go only for the purpose of defraying the expenses of this building. After two more songs Kev. McKaig again spoke , beginning by asking all to keep perfectly quiet. General O. O. Howard then said ; ' 'it ' with great reluctance that I came. hero this evening. T thought that having n revival meeting i with a leader , wo should all join An Uio ranks and support mo. But this little i passage of scripture kept coming into my mind , and 1 could not resist coining luiro to speak : "Ho that confesses. Mo before men , him will I confess before My Father in heaven. Ho Hint denies Mo before men , ho will I deny before My Father In heaven. " "Last night 1 was conscious in my heart of being grdatly tempted. 1 wont out and took nwit1l meditating with my self. 1 saw a 16'L ' of , young fellows going into a saloon , apparently happy. 1 passed another saloon , and many more wcro congregating there. And I thought that this is a terrible way tenet net the day before thfe Sabbath 'But , ' they will s\y , "scicnc has proved there is no God. ' Now , they know this is wrong. Science has not , can not , prove that tncro is no God. Fools say that in their heart. There is a God. and you all know it. I have been with vou in this city nearly four years. 1 receive more kind ness hero than any other place I know of. AVhen Igo nwavl feel thankful that 1 have been hero , witli , so many peed and Christianly people. I am glad to see so many people nero 'to-night. I know there are many whodo not believe Christ. Hut there is hope for each ono of them , mid hope in Christ. There Is no other way. This makes mo think of my nrmy to-night. Oh ! How many comrades are there bore to-night ? Ifow many have passed away ; but many have been com- lortcd with the word of God. Ilrcthrcn believe the word of God. It Is your only salvation , young mixn , sinful young man , who may bo hero to-night. As I came hero to-night I passed squad upon squad of young people , and amidst each I board many awearlmr. God is our father , and yet tlioy blaspheme against Him. Some say that swearing is not so bad as stealing , but yet who could think of breaking ono of God's commandments. Now , my friends , I will never see you in this capacity again. I go way out west in a few days to attend to duty , and my prayer is-tlmt you may all see the true light , and come out from darkness into the true light of a soldier of the cross. " ilev. Bitlor then led in ono of his char acteristic prayers , after which lie spoke as follows : "My text this evening will bo from Matthew , the 2 1th verse and 25th chapter tor : From him that hath not , shall bo taken txway even that which ho hath. "You remember that the Lord called his servants and pfivo the ono iivctnlontstho other two , and the third one. The first used his and made another live , the &cc- end ninn had done thu same , the third did not lisa his , but buried it. The lord said to the first and second ? "Well done , good and falthttil servant. Thou hast been laithful over a few thing ; J will ii'alic the ruler over many things. " To the last ho was angry and had it taken away from him. To-night you may say : "I'm nearer my homo than over before. " But some of you have been posting up your books to-day ; some oven doing manual work. This is all lost. Should you como up hero and shed tears of blood , 'Vou j'eoultl ' not get back one of those golden moments. Not one. You may say that you don't believe it's iust in God to give mo talent and then nold mo rcsponsiblojtor them. I didn't have anything to do with my acquiring talent. Now don't you hold men responsi ble for the trust yptl have put in him. You do. A mrfn is u lunatic , and kills a man , you do not condemn him for "it. But if a man has an 'active brain and is talented , and should do the deed , you would say Unit 1 jo ought to bo hung. Again 1 say that you , sir , hold a man responsi ble tor his talents. . Out of your own mouth , says God , "I will condemn tlieo. " That is just what some " of you are doing , many of youv ; " ' (1 "Yon can't 'live your schoolboy or schoolgirl day ngain. Thcy'ro gone. God gives you only once. To-night is the time. You never can got back the oppor tunities of now. Some time aso , in the west , a man got drunk and went homo , and in his frenzy struck the baby in his wife's arms , killing it. He then wont back to the same saloon , and tried to get drunker. The poor wife picked up the baby and talcing it to the saloon , held it up before the saloon keeper , and said , 'Look ! Look at what you have done ! You have killed my baby ! ' A blood vessel broke , and she tell at the fool of the bar dead. The husband was in the back room , playing cards. Ho drew out his pistol and blow out his own brains. And the newspaper said tliat when the little funeral procession of the three passed , that same saloon-keeper had his bar open , dealing out his 'liquid death. ' Oh ! my friends , just think of thai ! Ho had no conscience ; no sympathy ; no feelings common to a man. Come now. It is the time. lq not wait a moment. You have not got a minute to spare. " Alter this came a prayer , then , while sjngiug , Kev. Bitlor said , "While wo are singing 1 want all to look to the cross. Everyone. Each person in this congre gation look toward the cross. " Kev. M McKaig asked that all Chris tians stop a fiMmopicnts after the bene diction. Not merely Methodists , but every denomination. Those who wished to become one of Christ's flock , to stop also , and pruy , aad let them pray for them. Many did so , and then the meet ing closed. While the audience was dis persing "Kock of v\gcs" was sung by those remaining , After all those who bo desired had loft , there wcro short speeches made by , members' of the con gregation , as to faith in God , wishes for prayers , etc. The meeting lasted until quite a late hour , and was a tremendous one in every respect.

A BIG BATTLE FOR BLOOD , A Rattling Priza Tight Last Night Near This City , BETWEEN TWO COLORED MEN. FlRhtFor n Purao of $1OO Flvo Stir- rliiR Hounds The San Francisco "Artist" Wins Another Fight lit Anticipation. A Sunday Prize Fight. About Eoventy-fivo people among them many well-known roprcsonlativos of Omaha's sporting classes assembled at a resort just outside of the western city limits Insl night. The attraction was a prize light between two colored pugil ists one of thorn Jesse Smith , of Omaha , the other Eugene ( or "Pomp" ) Broady , a San Francisco man. The lucky speotn- lators who had been given the "tip" by those "on the hisldo" were conveyed to the spol In hacks ) buggies and vehicles of every description. . A sllll larger number of would-bo spectators had received the wrong "Up , " and were Hying on n wild goose chase around the counly , vainly endeavoring to find Iho place where Iho light was to como on" . Those who wcro fortunate enough In secure admission witnessed n light , of which slugging rather lhan science , was Iho ruling feature. The ring was pitched in a room about fifty feet square. The regulation ropes could not bo adjusted , and so rough pine boards and benches served as a sub stitute , to keep off the crowd. Several well known sportingcliaractcrs were chosen to act as referee , timekeeper er , judges and seconds. At ten minutes to 11 o'clock Iho two principals ontcied the ring. Smith , the Omaha man , was allired m wlnlo tights and white stockings. Ho weighed 105 pounds , nml showed good muscular form. In his fighting lie displayed grit , activity determination , which qualities , however , were not combined with judgement or much science. Broady , from San Fran cisco , were blue tights.

Small buckskin gloves cov ered the knuckles of both men. in com pliance with the provisions of the law. MUST ItOUND. At exactly 11 o'clock by the timekeep er's watch , the two men wcro called to the center of the ring and shook bunds. They retired to tncir corners for n moment , mil when Iho referee called "light , " promptly faced cacli olhcr. The round opened with both men sparring cautiously for an opening. Smith , the shorter man of the two , aimed several wicked blows at Ins opponent's face and neck , Bouio of which > vunt in with teljing ollect. Ono particularly vicious blow , aimed by the former , sent Broady staggering across thu ring. Broady's blows were confined mostly to body work , and none of them did any particular harm. Smith was evidently determined to force the Ughling , and the round ended with the chances in his favor. SECOND HOUND. Both men advanced from their corners , witli a determination to do or die. Smith , as in the first round , forced the fifrhling. He dealt Broady several wicked short-arm blows on the head and neck , which the latter mot with an occasional round-arm blow. Once or twice thc'nfon clinchedand , before a break away w s forced by the referee , Smith was heavily nppereut by his opponent. Towards the close of the round , Ihe San Francisco darkey dropped to avoid punishment , and while on his hands and knees was hit in the neck by Smith , who rushed upon him regardless of the warn ing cries of "stand back" from the seconds ends and referee. The judges , however , claimed not to have seen the foul , and the men were again ordered to fight. The round closed with some sharp in-and-in work , winch gave Smith a decided advantage. The two men frequently indulged in clinching and it required Ihe combined efforts of judges and referee to keen them apart. At the close1 of this round both Smith and Broady were blowing vigor ously , though the lalter appeared to be less''winded" than the other. TlllltU KOUNU. Smith , the Omaha man , forced the lighting in this round more vigorously than ever before , and rained * procession of blows upon Ins adversary , which were taken by Iho lalter with perfect equa nimity. Broady came homo with a number of swinging round-arm blows upon the phi/ and neck of Iho shorter man , interlniding them with some crush ing upper cut blows. The men clinched several times , and at once Smith rushed the San Francisco fighter out of the ring and almost throw him over Iho.boards. The lalter regained his feet in an instant , and the round closed with an exchange of smashing right and left counters. FOURTH HOUND. The folly of Smith's policy of forcing the lighting had become apparent by tins time. lie was badly winded and very much weaker than ho ought to have been at this stage of Iho light , Broady , on Ihn other hand , was com- paritavoly fresh , and showed but lew signs of Iho sharp punishment ! ioiul ) ; received. Ho managed to get homo witli some clover blows , which Muggcred Smith so badly thai he losl his bond com pletely , and resorted to clinching tactics. Time and again Iho referee hauled Iho two men apart , warning them not to turn Iho fighl inlo a wrestling mutch. Broady landed a fitinging right-hander on Smith's nose , which broke Unit organ and caused Iho clurot lo flow profusely. FIFTH HOUND. "You've got him , I'oinp , polish him off in this round ! " whispered Broady's backers and second us they sent him from the chair for the fifth round , "Pomp" evidently thoughl so lee , for ho opened up the round in good style with several swinging blows , all of which were landed squarely , bmith was evi dently weakening , and was bleeding ireoly. Ho again clinched with liroiuly. forcing him to his knees , and while in that position struck him n blow , which the referee could not but call a foul. Loud cries of "Foul ! " "Foul. " "Uroady'a won the lighl ! " were iniulo by Iho friends ot the San Francisco man. As soon as the clamor had sub sided somewhat , the referee announced that the fight was decided in favor of Eugene Broady. The friends of Broady claim that during one of the clinehus Smith bit him so badly on the arm and neck as to lacerate the Jlesh terribly.

They did It quite ro- luclantly , but they could not aftord to lot their competitors gel away with all business.
