If ' Articles of Incorporation Adopted By tbo Hoard ofTrortonntl Ilusl- t I ness Mon Imst Nlclit Cap ture of Iiarconlsts. afons' Meeting. An adjourned meeting of the board of trade was held last night , the principal object being to meet business mon and capitalists of this city and confer with them ns to the advisability of organizing n stock company to assist in building up the manufacturing interests of Omaha. Although not a largo mi tuber were pres ent , those thcro were composed of men who are well known as being greatly in terested in the welfare and advancement of the city. The articles of incorporation submitted at the last meeting , although having been revised by legal authority , were laid aside , and a now sot submitted nnd approved. Tlio affidavit plan of voting was taken up , and now plans proposed , but nothing was done bchido showing that it was a system detrimental to the interests of law. nnd that tlio present system should bo abolished. Mr. C. E.Mayno , chairman of the com mittee appointed to have the articles of incorporation revised , reported that they had attended to that duty , and the cleric road thorn as corrected. Mr. E. Rosewntur hero arose and stated that on lirst thought bo had been favor ably impressed with the idea of organis ing a stock company for the purpose of aiding manufacturers who desired to come to Omaha , in loaning thorn money nnd furnishing property on which to build works. "But , " said ho , "on more mature consideration , I have como to the conclusion that thu incorporation articles submitted to this board last week are im practicable. Should sucli a stock com pany bo organized , eacli stockholder would not only be responsible for his own stock , but if this company should at any tinio ( "and this is undoubtedly what they would do ) invest in the stock of any other company , they would also bo liable for the losses of that company. Now , yon know that many people would coma to Omaha , should suoh a scheme bo carried out. to start factory projects. Some would bo perfectly feasible and successful ; others might mil. Since tlio lost meeting I have considered a plan that would bo more practicable than the ono proposed by Mr. Maync. I have drawn up articles of incorporation for a company to bo called the ' 'Omaha Man ufacturers' Trust Company , " which pro vides a certain amount of money sub scribed bo used in fostering manufactures. The main point in this scheme is tlio cre ation of atriwt company whoso business it will bo to solicit , rccoivo and convoy lands which property owners may desire to donate as a bonus to parties who will establish mills and factories in Omaha , The owner may designate tlio partic ular manufactory ho desires to encourage , or ho may leave it optional with tlio company to choose what they doom most desirable. The company will go into no partnership with any one , but will only act as trustee. The capital raised will bo nominal. The company will employ some man competent to compile- ail tlio facts with regard to our resources and advantages ns a manfaeturing center , and describe the various lots and lands which arc of fered as a bonus to factories , mills , etc. Wo shall also want to employ a good lawyer to investigate titles , draw con tracts and papers and make legal inquiry into the financial condition of parties wjio may apply for substantial aid. Tbo outlay need not exceed 3,000 a year. There is no risk to stockholders in such a company. The trustcomnanv will sim ply convoy lands which may" bo offered as a bonus and raise money at low inter est for manufacturers who need linancial aid. An enterprising man coming to Omaha , and wishing to start into busi ness , but not having sullicicnt capital , becomes embarrassed and goes away , be cause ho cannot borrow money at a low enough rate of interest. Now , my plan is that wo help such men by procuring loans at such n rate of interest as will make it advantageous to them. This company will luivo for directors seven men , good , capable business mon , whom wo can trust implicitly. They can keep n corresp.ondenco with eastern capital ists , and by exorcise of proper discre tion can readily ascertain who is and who is not to bo assisted. To bo sure no person can bo directly bcnclitted by becoming a member of the company , but the whole city of Omaha will derive material benefit in the end. As my plan seems to cover the ground intended by the other and remedies the errors in that , it seems to mo more feasible. " Thq following are tlio articles of incor V i poration : Articles of Incorporation of the Omaha rMniiufncttiicis' Trust Company. Tun STATI : IP NKIIHABKA , I County of Douglas , f ss. AIITICM : i.

The question of allowing people to vote on an affidavit was spoken of by Mr. Gray. Ho said that it was a very bad practice. Last year the aflldavit plan was irrcgulrrly carried on , and this year it was almost , if not quite as bad. There were many illegal votes cast , and ho stated that lie had witnessed tlio ballot box grossly , outrageously cheated. Ho thought a revision should bo made of the law. The question was argued at length. Mr. Gfr.iy suggested as a good way to get out of the dllllculty that the judges , or oven the two contending parties , agrco to a set of questions to be asked of nnd properly answered by an applicant to vote without having regis tered. After some little other work the moot ing adjourned. SELECT KNlQlfte. Institution of Oumlia Legion No. O , A. O. U. W. On Saturday , April 10 , 1830 , Deputy Grand Commander A.

The W. C. T. , U. Uuckingham hall was the scene of n rousing mooting Saturday night , it being the regular Reform club entertainment. A largo audience was present of botli ladies and gentlemen. After reading of scripture and prayer the president of the club Introduced Mr. Powell as the first speaker , who addressed the audience In well chosen words 6f ad vice and encouragement , urging all the young men to join the Reform club and work with the W. C. T. U. in the grand fight for the homo. His remarks' were listened to with close attention. Mr. C. J , Holt , who was present by invitation of the club , followed , giving an account of the rapid advance of the blue ribbon army in tlio dill'ordnt parts of the state in which ho had worked ns organizer for the W. C. T. U. during the past months. The Reform club has been n success , and has boon the means of the overthrow of the saloon power in many towns in the state nt the late election. The temperance people of the state are looking to the Omaha Reform club for grand things in the temperance work this year. The in jury to the cause could not bo estimated should the work stop hero at the Buck ingham. Mr. Holt paid a deserved tribute to llio press of Omaha for the liberal space that had boon given to re ports of the temperance work done by the W. C. T. U. in the city , and the great good which has been accomplished there by , tlio reports being copied not only by the press of our own state hut of others. Mr. F. A. Proctor then gave a recitation , the mooting closing with n speech by Judge Edmund Bartlett , during the course of whoso remarks a number came forward nnd signed the pl&dgo. A llobbory Frustrated. Officers Matza and Whatcn arrested James Kelly , a suspicious character , Sun day at about 830. ; It seems that Kelly , who has been in Omaha for some time living off his wits , had , Saturday , in duced a young bootblack named Gcorgo Abel , to go in with him on a schema to rob Annlo Wilson's house , on Douglas street. The plan was this : Last even ing at about 8 or half past , the two were to go to tlio house and get in the back yard , whore Kelly was to open a window and assist young Abel to gain nn en trance. Then , while the boy was "going through" tlio houso. Kelly was to stand guard on the outside , and take the stolen goods that the boy would hand out. Abel scorned perfectly delighted , and made Kelly think ho had caught a bonanza , sure. As soon us Kelly loft , however , the boy liuntodup a policeman and gave away the whole snap. Ho was told to acquiesce fullj in the plans and allow himself to bo arrested. IIo did this , and Sunday night at the hour named , on getting into the uaok yard , Kelly was dumbfounded by the two policeman tell ing him ids"name was Donnis" this trip. IIo was locked up. The boy was also taken to the station-house , but was not locked up , being kept merely as a witness. Kelley was found guilty in police court yosterdya and sentenced to thirty days imprisonment , and to pay a line ot s20 and costs. IIo trujd to deny having formed any plot to rob the Wilson man sion , but upon cross-examination broke down completely. Violating the Sabbath. Sunday afternoon Lena Rivers , ono of tbo demi-monde inmates of Nell 16 King's house on-Capitol avenue , jwnnt out to have a goojl time While away she met n commercial ' { mVclcV,1 whoso' ' name , however , could not bu learned , and together they started out for a bucgy ride , stopping at every sjiloon to imbibe moro "red lickker. " At about 8 o'clock that night they wore both decidedly in a ' " " condition and while "how-comc-you-so" , a short way out of town the team became frightened and ran away. Th'e man had no control over the animals , and they stopped suddenly against a board fence. Both occupants of tlio buggy wore thrown out , Lena getting decidedly the worst o f it. Rumors were rife that she was Killed , but investigation brought out the fact that she was not seriously hurt , although terribly bruised. Nothing is known about the results on the * man , as ho immediately loft. The woman was brought homo arid a doctor called. Her face is terribly scratched up , and it will bo some time" before she will desire to paint Omaha reel or any- other color. None of her friends knew the fellow 01' how she got acquainted with him , but think that while out , they mot , and being of convivial natures , determined'to see the elephant together. When brought home she was unconscious , and nothing could bo learned of her about the matter. Sent to the "Pen. " Sheriff Coburn loft yesterday for Lincoln in charge of tho'pVlsonors sen tenced at tlio present term of court.

Conducts Another Sue- fyssfjul Meeting. A CALM ARPElfL TO INTELLECT. Nearly 1BOQ People Gathered In tlio ExposlllonHnllln ) to llcspoml to tlio EviuYjjclist's Eloquent niul Fervid Appeals. "Redeeming sould from sin , " "Hood and your souh shall live , " read a liugo while banner stretched upon tlio cross beams ot tlio exposition building last night. "Sing 'All hall the power of Jesus'name1 , " said Rev. Mr. McKnlg , as ho looked at the quotation. Nearly 1,600 people wore present , em bracing all sorts and conditions of mon , Old mon and boys wore seated side by side , pretty girls cast sly glances at the handsome young men ensconced at their side. Religiously inclined women sat in rapt attention drinking in every word spoken , and crying amen at every pleas ing expression. Some came for curiosity , Bomo for pleasure and some from a sense of dutv. It is an indubitable fact , however , ff thoughts can bo read In countenances , that all present wont away with better and more exalted feelings than they had before the mooting began. The stage , which was placed in the south part of the hull , was well filled with ministers of nearly all denominations who did their utmost both by pra.vcr and exhortation to stir up the emotions of the audience. Tlio choir , which was placed behind the row of clergyman , was superfluous , as the people present wore intent upon singing , which they did in the most hearty manner. "Tho Lily of the Valley" called forth their best efforts. > "It makes no difference , " said Mr. Bit- lor , "whether you know the words or not. We don't want words , its melody and volume that wo are looking for. " lie started the hymn to the air of a well known plantation song and the refrain was taken up in such n hearty manner as to make the building ring. "We've got three workers hero from Lincoln" said Mr. Bitler , "and will have twenty-live more on Wednesday. " In asking for the usual collection the evangelist thanked , the Lord for the money that had boon contributed but did not deem it necessary to descend from first causes to immediate agents , and express his gratitude to the real givers. A few minutes of silent prayer , when every head was bowed , was then had and concluded with a fervent amen from Brother Bitlor. > "God lias put his stamp on this work , " said the speaker , "and its imprint can Mlhiiiljr be seen. " In speak ing of Sam Jones' , lie said that in Chica go the battle l\ad \ .Already been prepared for'that man of God , ' but that Omaha could bo congcatnintiid on the success of the meetings being ) held. Ho said that ho was not afraid'of 'llio ' ministerial breth ren upon tlio "rtlatform. Ho did not mean to state that itjiyaabccauso their functions were purely liiinigJLorial , but his remark was open to that construction. "Jesus only/ ! / wore the words which ho used as groundwork upon which ho built up his Sfirmon. His words were earnest and fervid. ' 'With many men , " said lie , "tho "animdl " is getting the better of the angle ofthghr being. " "A man may jj < Tsick of sin and yet ) stop at some o'f ' the ordinances without having his heart , madd loyal toLGod , " were the words with which ho condemned the religious formalists. "I have seen men , " ho continued , "carried away by Hoods of wickedness and for whom there seemed to bo no hope , completely saved by the grace of God. " lie said that men used Ingersallism to stillo the pangs of their consciences so that they could enjoy their debauchery and revelry to the fullest extent. Ho mentioned a man who used to be in the habit of getting up at daylight for the sake of getting into the saloons that opened the earliest , and who had to-have four or five drinks of whisky before ho could eat his breakfast. "Tho lash of the devil , " continued the speaker"was not a scourge powerful enough to cause his complete ruin. Ily < God's help ho over came his fatal appetite and became a sober , industrious man. How licen tiousness , like an awful storm , is sweep ing over the country , " continued ho , speaking of another great evil. "God's grace can save us from our appetites , and is the only thing that can. Human resolutions are too weak to stand against the frailties of human nature. " Mr. Hitler's appeal to the audience to accept tlio sublime tenets of Christianity was made in an eloquent manner , and was listened to witl\ \ great attention. He called upon ' all Christians to rise to their feet , and about two- thirds of the nudicnco left their chairs. Those who desired to be Chris tians were then called upon to arise , and about twenty responded to the invitation. Mr. Bitler made no effort to make con verts by appealing to the hearts or emo tions ot thu audience. Ho said ho wanted the people to act with deliberation and calmly chose whethpr they would bo on Gnd's side or against him. The converts v were then invited to taKe places in the front row oh scats. Two pretty littlq girls about five years old were the first to respond. A young man , with tears in his eyes , next came forward , accom panied by n friend who knelt by his side HI silent prayer. This example encour aged others , and while the congregation sung "Tlio Glorious fountain , " the row of scats became nearly filled. The min ister descended from the platform and individually pleaded with tlio converts. Thuir efforts mot with hearty responses , and the meeting was one of the most successful which the evangelist has over bold. OUDEIt. The League TuUis a Hand In the The Law nnd'Ordbr ' League iilcd-a doc ument with tliilj licence board Saturday evening denouncing the way that licensoa have boon gruulbct saloon-keepers in llio past.

The interests of our ellfoens demand that the sale of Intoxicating liquors should bo confined to reputable business men and not entrusted to lawless , reckless Individuals , who seek to sec it 10 licensebv misrepresentations , perjury and violation of law. Your houoi- able board has' tull control in the piemlses' and a fair regard Iqrjliu good name nud pros perity of Omaha demands careful and con- sclentiotiB action on your pait. Nothing less than this will batlsfy our law abiding citizens or the largo business interests which this league repiescnts. AH Three in Jail. "Mrs. Murtagh , Michael McCabe , lar ceny , " is a register on the police book for last night. It seems that Mrs. Mur * tagh was chief laimdrywoman at the Millard H short time -ago. Some few weeks ago McCabe , who is her brother , was night steward at the same hotel. They have had some family troubles lately , as McCabe could not got along with Mr. Murtagh , the woman's ' hus band. On Saturday Murtagh had McCabe Cabo arrested , but his sister got him out. Then tlio two caused Murtagh's arrest last night. This made him mad , and ho told the police that his wife and McCabe had stolen a lot of things from the Mil- lard. A search of the liouso revealed a largo amount of stolen goods , such as shirts , pillow-caacs , dresses , silver knives and forks , etc. , aggregating , it is esti mated , $200 worth. The woman and her brother were arrested , and the trio will have a chance to plead to-morrow before Judge Stcuborg. THE LATE ; 'ELECTION. The Bnttlo nnil Its Results Pointed Out by "A WorktiiRiiinn. " To the Editor : In the editorial columns of Saturday's Hcc is an article headed "Boyd and Bechel. " On this subject I wish to say a few words. Wo have been told by the Herald that the democratic party failed to elect their candidates in the interest of good government. Mr. Boyd failed to receive the indorsement of law abiding citizens at the polls for the rea son that ho failed in his pledges and promises of a year ago , when ho pledged himself to handle the Interests of this city as if they were his own. The citi zens' nomination for mayor a year ago was a failure and a disappointment , and will have to bo admitted as such on all sides , oven by its most sanguine friends. The action ot Mr Boyd in try ing to blackball and rob an honest man of his character when ho could not re move him from ollice for no other reason only that ho was an offensive partisan , and ho could not use him as a tool , lias called forth tlio condemnation of all good citizens. It called into life the Law and Order league , which to a man was bound to support the marshal in the perform ance of his duty. Tom Cummings has been the most faithful and honest man in this position that over held the ofllcc in the history of this city , and ho has the support and good will and respect of nil law-abiding citizens. A word , now , in regard to Mr. Bcchol' ' Ho lias been a lirtn friend and advocate of the marshal , bonce the opposition of Mr. Boyd to him. Mr. Bcchcl has been faithful in tlio discharge of his duties in the past , and ho will uo faithful to the trust reposed in him in the future , doing his duty without fear or favor : and ho received the indorsement at the polls that ho riulily deserved. The writer docs not think that Air. Goodman will allow himself to bo made a cat's-paw to drag the Boyd-Millor chestnuts out of the fire. Ho has top much good common sense for that. His record in the council during the last year speaks for itself , and ho will bo true to his principles and. party , and also to the men who elected him and intrusted their honor to his keeping. In regard to the newly elected republican members of the council , Mr. Kaspcr needs no introduction from mo to the citizens of this city. Ho is well and fav orably known as a faithful and efficient ofliccr while n member of the police force , and ho will bo a faithful and effi cient member of the city council , per forming his duties fearlessly and un flinchingly. Mr. Cheney has grown to manhood among the boys of the Union Pacific shops ; ho is a young man of sterl ing qualities , honest , sober and temper ate , loved and respected by all who know him. Ho is a man who cannot bo made a tool of under any cire. umstances whateves , and his election was a compliment to himself : and his friends , and a proud -victoryfoi'tho''reriubHcaiis of the Fifth ward. Ho will bo an honor to his party in the council. The member from the Sixth ward , Mr. Mnnvillo , is an honor able and respected citizen and a repre sentative working man. Ho has been our absessor for several years honest and faithful in the discharge of his duties , treating rich and poor alike. The en dorsement ho received at the polls speaks tor itsolf. The cowardly action of a few paid loafers calling themselves mem bers of the Plasterers' union in try ing to down him at the polls called forth the indignation of the honest workingmen mon of the ward and received a fitting rebuke. I don't think they will bo will ing to try on their little game again. Those arc the same men who , a year ago , as the hirelings of a certain party wont into a workingman's convention as dele gates and made all the efforts that laid in their jiower to prevent that body from ex pressing itself or making a choice. The working men of the M\th ward wore disgusted with the action of these dis gruntled follows and we would advise the Plasterers' union that hereafter as a Boyd factor it would bo well for them to keep their posters at home , for the whole thing was a failure. In conclusion the workingmcn of this city wish to return thanks to John B. ITiiray and his associates in tlio council who stood by their principles , and wo will not forgot them in the near future. Wo are happy to think that the scenes enacted in the old council will not bo re peated in the new , and wo sincerely hope that harmony and good feeling will prevail. A WOKKIKGMAX. Their liast Mooting. The old city council hold its last meet ing at llio usual time and place last night. Tlio only business' transacted was the offi cial canvassing of the vote cast at tlio last municipal election. Owing to the fact that the third ward returns were not signed by Ihd judges or clerks , through some oversight , the canvassing was de layed. Consequently tlio work was not finished until late in the evening. Tlio certificates of election were or dered made out to tlio following success ful candidates ; 1'iret word , Thomas Lowry ; second ward , Frank J. Knspur ; third ward , Pat rick Ford ; fourth ward , W. F. Buchol ; fifth ward , Charles Cheney ; sKlii ward. F. H. Manville , The vote for school board was declared in favor of T. B.

A rumor was rife yesterday that Pat Ford's son had skipped to Colorado witli some of his father's money , which ho came by unlawfully. The parents , however , deny this , and say that ho had started for the west , but us they wished him to go to college hero , ho will bo back to-morrow.

The above organization was called to order Sunday afternoon In Cunning ham hall , on Thirteenth street , by Pres ident pro torn E. 1) . Bronnan. Very few were present , it being such a beautiful day that people Boomed to prefer to bo out of doors instead of there. After some preliminary business , speeches were In order. Mr. Moriarty spoke at length on the Irish question and the vic tory now almost won. lie said : "Things are now transpiring in England that give us hope of bolter days for the Irish and Ireland , Only n few days ago Mr. Gladstone , 'that grand old man , ' as ho is called , introduced in tlio British parlia ment , a bill providing that Ireland shall have a parliament of her own made up of Irishmen , and that they shall make laws governing all that is Irish in Its na ture. The introduction of this measure to which I have just alluded 1 say it again , a parliament for the Irish , with power to regulate the af fairs of Ireland is a great stop toward doing what all of us have been trying to do these many years , oven should it not pass. It is more than wo could hope for. It is the Irish sentiment of not only the people of Ireland , but America , whore perhaps there is not n man through whoso blood Hews not some little pure , heaven-beloved Irish blood , that has caused this. And it seems to bo getting a strong foothold in England , so strong that Gladstone's bill is more than likely to pass , 1 do not believe that Gladstone would have presented the bill had ho not boon sure that it would pass. The result , however , cannot bo forcast. There may bo objectionable features in the bill , but taken as an entirety , is n God-send to Ireland and Irish people. But do not forget one thing. And that is if this bill docs pass it will bo through the efforts of our standard bearer Parnoll. Ho has stated that ho believes it will confer sub stantial benefits to Ireland. Ho has gone so far as to stale in the British parliament that with a few clauses stricken out the bill will have the unanimous support of of Ireland. I say that it is the best thing that could pass lor our people. " Mr. Larkin then made a short address , of which the following is a synopsis : " 1 am not prepared to make a speech to-day. I am feeling to unwoll. But wore 1 sick in bed , without the power to moyo my hands , i would raise my voice in tlio sup port of Ireland. There is one great beauty about our fight. It is not , Catholic , it is not Irish , but it is humanity and right. It is not counties , or religion it is a united Ireland. Gladstone's bill seems to bo to ino one of barter and sale. It is the same thing over again that the American colonists had to bland in the early days taxation and no represen tation. That man who had boon laying down his life for the cause Parncll will do his best , however , and finally clear old Ireland will bo freed from the bondage she lias endured so long. " Mr. Malionoy wished to say a few words in regard to the great Irish victory. "It has been something wonderful. When Parnoll and a few others took the reins and the championship ot this cause , not so very long ago , they were denounced , both in England and America. They wore called 'Obstructionists. ' It was said that their only desire was to ob struct legislation. They had no money , and no influence. What has the end been ? A great and glorious victory. It matters not whether Gladstone's bill is passed or'not. If it is not , the victory will bo lessened , but nevertheless some thing for Irishmen llio world over to hail with joy. Every Irishman in Omaha , and the whole country , ought to fool happy over the great victory in England and they do. " A beautiful steel engraving of the origi nal of Tom Moore's harp was presented the league by President John A. . McShano. It is a very beautiful picture , tlio original of which is in tlio lnuids of Goo. W. Chillis , of Philadelphia. All those in arrears to the league for tickets to the St. Patrick ball are re quested to cither rolurn the ticket or pay llio money duo by next Sunday. An ex cellent poem , entitled "Will My Soul Pass Through Ireland ? " was recited in a masterly way by Patrick McAdlo. Many matters of interest were talked of , and the mooting adjourned to meet next Sun day in the same hall. It Will Fall Through. A good deal of talk is being made on the streets about the latest scheme of Mayor Boyd that of forcing some re publican councilman into tlio noting mayor's chair , by an alliance of the democrats with ono or two republicans , and tlion resigning the oflico of mayor himself , so as to defeat Mr. Boehol. Mr. Goodman , who has boon urged by Mr. Boyd to kneel down and permit the load to bo placed on his back , has "declined with thanks , " The situation lias so shaped itself that it lias become- evident that neither Mr. Goodman nor any other republican member of the council could secure the undivided support of the dem ocrats in such a scheme , to say nothing of getting the extra republican vote or two Mr. Cheney ami Mr. Manville , it is said , arc opposed to allowing Mr. Boyd to use them for n cat's-paw. Unless some now and unexpected turn is reached , it is quite evident hizzonor will have to forego - go the pleasure of seeing Mr. Bechol aim Marshal Ciimmiugs downed by the pie- bent council.
