THE OMAHA .DAILY BEE : FRIDAY , JUNE 4. 188(5. ( IT LOOKS QUITE QUEER , HOTT- the Oases Against Kennedy and Poppleton Were "Fixed Up. " WHAT JUDGE STENBERQ SAYS. The Klonmn Failure Again Powell is Set Free The Mnruh of Im provement Other J.ocnl ItClllB. A Queer Transaction. There was a quiet litllo farce enacted In police court yesterday the princi pals in which were Frank Poppleton and J. A. Kennedy ( the two young men ar rested some tlmoago for obtaining goods from Tootle & Maul and other firms here on false pretenses ) Mr. Allen Koch , Dis trict Attorney Estclle , nnd a half a dozen lawyers. When Popplelon and Kennedy were arrested some time ago , It was predicted that as the former had many Influential friends In the city , ho would never bo prosecuted.Ir. . Allen Koch ot tlio linn of Tootle iV : Maul , protested vigorously that the ollbnilcrii would be given the most thorough prosecution that the cases against them would be pushed for all there was in them. He even begged the Br.r. not to publish the arrest of one of the men , until the full particulars of the plot could bo worked up , and other important ar rests made. But District Attorney Kslelle has nolled the case so far as the district court is concerned. Mr. Koch has changed his mind about relentless prosecution and the two young men will not go ? to thn penitentiary. "Inlloooneo" lias saved them. Prisoners and lawyers nro happy ami Judge Stenbcrg is highly displeased. The farce rcferrctl to above was in two acts. The last act was success fully played yesterday when Popple ton and Kennedy were brought before Judge Stcnberg about 11 o'clock anil , ac cording to instructions from Mr. Kstelle , allowed to plead guilty to obtaining on false pretense goods amounting in value to less than $35. On this charge they were given by Judge Stenborg tlio fullest limit of punishment , and $100 line each. Tlicro Is something very queer about tlio transaction. The total amount of goods obtained by these young men , on forged orders , from Tootle A : Maul , and other linns , was over $125. The goods obtained from Tootle ix ; Maul , ac cording to a sworn statement made by Mr. Koch to Judge Stonborg a few days ago , as that ollicial says , amounted in value to11 , or more than enough to make the ollensc a penitentiary one. Ac cordingly Judge Steiiberg gave the two young men a preliminary examination , wild after determining the facts of the matter , held them to the district court. Now District Attorney Ksielle has nolled the cases , and thus tlio afl'uir has ended. "If these piisoners had been two poor devils without any inllucntial friends. " remarked a gentleman who was quietly watching the whole proceedings yes terday "they would r have gone to Lin coln without any doubt. As it is , they will escape very easily. Influence is a great thing. " In justice to Judge Stenborg it ought to bo said that ollicial is in noyi o con cerned in this little matter , but is , rather , very much disgusted with the whole affair. "It is a shame , " he sniil "Hint such a thing .should bo allowed. There is no question whatever thai the ollenso lor which these men were hold by me was a. penitentiary oflense. Of course , my hands are tied and I have got to do just what I anutold by the district attorney. But I am sick : jmd disgusted with the whole transaction It is not the lirst time cither that the prosecuting attorney has turned criminals loose. When Manning < and O'Brhm robbed the man Archer last year 1 turned them over to the district court. What became of their case ? Kstolle nolled it. A few weeks ago 1 sent up a couple of women for rabbins : a man , whom they had taken out for a hack ride , and plied with intox icating liquors. What became of their cases ? Lslelle gets the transcript from my court , after the women have been bound over , and before the ink is dry he sets around and nollcs the case , and turns tho.wonien free. With regard to these cases against Poppleton and Ken nedy ho said that they could never bo convicted in the world. I told him that ho had no business to make such a de claration before he had tried the case , and that I considered the evidence ngainst the defendants very good indeed " SPOILED A HIPI'OIlHOMnF AUD.

"Vuslerday Cabout 10 o'elook , the Jury ih the Powell case was brought into court on the order of Judge Neville , Through their foreman they announced their inability to agree. They were Afterwards separately polled , and each testified that such was the case , There upon , Mr. Kstelle , the prosecuting attor ney , stated to the court that he did not think u jury could be ( .mired which would agree upon the raao , and that ho was willing to enter a nolle in tlio premijc3 Tim motion was recorded , and Powell was discharged , Uo was immediately surrounded by a s jat of friends and embraced and con , > * > * hnv * * * * ' -M gratulatcd till he must have lelt that ho was a hero. The mortification and dis appointment of the friends of the other side of the trial was illy concealed , and they left the court room silently and tried to avoid contact with everybody. The jury stood seven for acquittal , three for conviction of manslaughter and two for murder in the second degree. Judge Neville then entertained a few motions and subsequently adjourned to 2 o'clock. Judge Wakely was cng.itrcd all the morning In hearing the case of McElteo vs. House ) . The trial will probably last until late this afternoon. It involves a number of close legal points , ami it is quite probable that the jury will bo asked to make special findings , leaving the law questions to be discussed by llio counsel before Ihc judge. Bildgct Miirtagh filed a petition for divorce in this court yesterday from her husband John. She charges him with failure to support her besides brutal conduct , culminating In n threat to kill her. ftlAUCU OK IMt'UOVKMnN'T. Sonic of the Steps N'ow Uclug Taken Onwiml. The steam roller of the asphaltum com pany Wednesday lolled out of Its 'retire ment in the rear of Barney MoGinnis' saloon , on Dodge and Fourteenth streets eap.irUoned for tlio season's work.

The most interesting case in police court yesterday was that of James Campbell , who was arrested at the in stance of Mrs. Maggie Elliott on a charge of disturbing the peace. It appears that yestorday'Mr. and Mrs. Elliott called at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Campbell to have a neighborly chat. The beer was brought out and passed around , and for a time evorj thing went as smoothly as a marriage bell. Then Mrs. Elliott grew liully about something and declared that she was going to leave. And she did. Her husband , however , did not accom pany her , but remained behind to enjoy the beer. Later in the evening ho re- liirned to his house , ncconipanicd by Mr. Campbell. Mrs. Elliott was not feeling in very good humor when the two came into the house , and it wasn't very long before a lively quarrel was in progress. Here it was that Mr. Campbell was guilty of disorderly conduct , as Mrs. Elliott al leges. During the progress of the trial , at which both husbands and wives wore pre sent , there were many sharp pass.iges-at- . arms , and once Mrs. Elliott turned to Campbell and said vehemently , "IToii'rc aliarl" The case was dismissed by the judge , as it did not appear that Campbull hail committed any serious offence. Several other nnimpoitant cases of "di nnks" and suspicions characters were disposed of , some being released , and other * being aunt up to the county jail. Con-si.tblo lluiiok TaDcn.

"James , of the Law and Order League , There is a man by the mime of Garvoy living at thu corner of Twenty-fifth and California streets who owed James a debt of $18. The Law anfl Order man went to Justice Anderson's court and got out a warrant of attachment against the nioport.yol the family , I went to the Garvoy house , which is a wretched little lint , accompanied by James. I found there what do you thinkan old bed , iicookstove.il rickety sowing machine and a few old ehair.i. The poor woman was sick and scarcely able lo move around. However , James insisted on my ' carrying oil' llio property to satisfy hii $13 attachment , t told him that I wouldn't do it. Well,1 ho roared , 'I'll ' make yon pay it. d- ill1 I expect ho will try to do it , but I would rather pay the f la myself than do what he wants mo to , " Jtafl A now circular has been issued an nouncing that the freight business of Mr. W. F. ( JllUths will Go attended to , until fmther notice by General Freight Agent J. A. Munroe. Yesterday Messrs. Calaway and Smith , of the Union Pacific , were found in the car of the latter , nj , which was at tached to the mprning' train of the Mis souri P.ieilic.

"ft o are going to Leavcnworth lirst , next to Kansas City , and tlicnco wo shall go to Denver. Wo can't say how long wo shall bo away , but wo shall got back before people become annoyed over our absence. " Mr. Callaway denied that there jWos any truth in the rumor that the property bought by the Union Pacific between Seventh and Ninth street ? and Jones was intended for n passenger instead of a freight depot. Conductor Mack.of the dummy nas been absent from his post for two days back , being engaged in the domestic duty of moving to a new home on South lenth sttcct. T. iiAYMOM ) "KOK coxcntr.ss. " On Saturday night , the representative American comedian. John T. Raymond will appear at Uoyd's opera house In his political satire called "For Congress. " While railed nowit is only because itisso very much newer than "Colonel Sellers" that the public long for any change. The piece was played last year , but it has blnco been rounded out and perfected , anil It mul be admitted that now in the hands of Raymond , It is the most delicious bit of political satire seen on tin1 stage in many a day.

Ho left last evening on a trip to the Hlack Hills. lie was met D.vcsterday by a Br.n re porter and questioned as to his destina tion , but though he cheerfully imparted tlio desired information , yet he claimed lie didn't desire to have it go abroad. lie is the iivunt courier of a party of gentlemen from his city who are to mnko a four weeks' visit to the Hills , both with pleasure and speculation in view. The reporter could not ascertain the names of the intending excursionists. They will be here to-monow and follow him in the evening. Mr. Anthony is a slight , pointed-shouldeicd , stoop-headed man. His features are irregular , a prominent aquiline nose , rather eniphabi/ing the rest , which have a complexion of ruddi ness peculiar to blinht but hardy men. 1-or a man who has been shot and scarred and fought and bled because of the pleasure it allbrded him to lampoon an enemy , Mr. D. 11. Anthony is looking quite Veil. _ The Gns AVrniifilc. The long standing question between the Union P.ieilic and the g.is company with reference to the Eleventh street lot is still unadjusted. It h.is finally been referred to Mr. (5eo. ( Darker and Mr. Callaway. Mr. Callaway lias been out of ton n all the \\polc and consequently ho has not been able to give the matter murh attention. Mean while , the rail road company retain their ties and rails upon the promises , and doubtless will until the ma1 tor is settled. The gas com pany , hovyover , have removed their army of protection. The delay ocoasioned'by the adjustment is -ourco of annoyance to the gas folks. They anxiously desire the lot in question upon wliich to build a new generating house. * They have a'l- rcady forwarded the plans of tiio intended - tended building to Pbiiadclphia and in- fltrueted the manufacturer of their now generatihg machinery lo make the. latter in conformity with the outline ot the btiucture. _ Queen of tlio Trnclc. The engine 825 which pulled the Union Pacific [ overland out josteiday was a wonderful piece of workmanship. She was almost as high as a high as a house and as stately as a queen. She is.iust out of the shops of this city , where she was built by Master Mechanic Hackney , his foreman being John Hay. Her boiler was seven inches greater in di.un- ctcr than that of any engine in the employ of the company. Her wheels lack but a fraction of being siv feet in height. She weighs forty-seven tons , and is calculated to run sixty miles per hour. This is now be- coining a matter of necessity with the Union Pacilic and they proposed to keep lirst class time. The other day , the dis tance between Valley and this city , thiity-livc miles , was run with a heavy tr.iin and four stops in fifty minutes , being - ing considerably more than at the rate of a mile a minute. " Vnlloy. "The papers arc talking and bragging about this great suburban train. Now , what good docs it do to Omaha ? " The speaker was an ex-railroad man , who addressed a Bui : reporter at the Union 1'acific depot yesterday. "Even if It docs bring passengers in , it takes away steady residents. It has taken four crews from here and sent them all along the road. Trams -13 and -1J ! don't ' come in hero at all now. There were two crows , They arc now stopping out at Valley.

He was shown fovcra. pairs , anil picked out one pair , the price of which was ii'i rents , He paid the money , and at once thereafter declared that ho didn't want the buttons. Kosunkranz , however , de clined to refund the money , and shoyed the darkey into the stieet. " ( Jinimo back dat U5 cents' " bellowed the negro. The onlv reply ho received was a sounding blow in the face. One of Ros- cnkran/'d lingers happened to find its way into tlio darkey's month , and that woithy bit it in a very vigorous manner. 'J hereupon n lively row ensued which was only interrupted by the ariivalof Ulllcera JasporSBii and Bloom , who ar rested Roscnkranz ami the ucyro. Tlio Sloniau Fall HIT. It was reported yesterday as tlio latest do vclopmcnt in the Sloman failure that an eastern firm has sent a lawyer to Omaha to look up the facts connected with the crash. It is said that the firm contem plate suing Bradstrcct's local ucronoy for sending out too favor able reports about the condition of Slo man Bros.

As Slomtui Bros , intend to EUO Brad- street's for EQiiding out reports whtoii not favorable to them , it will be secu Umt the cnso is a very mueh/'mlxcd up" ono indeed.
