On Thursday , July 15 , Congressmen Cobb , of Indiana , and Lairdof Nobryska , wore disputing on the public land question which agitated the house a few weeks since. Laird called Cobb a liar the llousier replied by challonging.tho Nebraskan to come down off the legis lative floor and ho would test Instability to maintain his charge of "liar. " Both men started for the basement to fight there , friends interfered nnd turned the belligerents backward toward the lobby While the men were returning Laird repealed pealed bis insulting "liar" and both said "you are a perjurer. " Laird instantly struok Uobb a heavy blow and drew blood from his lips. We lack space to comment at present UDon the character of this altercation , but wo are compellcd _ to stigmatize the conduct of Mr. Laird , as brutal and un manly. Brutal because there was no clement in the ease that forced a physical assault , and the motive to action was not born of honorable defense of character. Laird was unmanly because after Cobb'a friends had collared him and were forc ing him back from so childish a business Laird struck him at a great disadvan tage when ho was not in an attitude to detend himself and actually under friendly and peaceable arrest. Common sense pronounces this a cowardly at tempt to take advantage of his antagonist in a dishonorable way. lint much higher considerations than these cuter the caso. First , both men brutalized themselves and their high ollieo by such conduct. The position of home , even a few papers , that a blow of the list or a show of pistols settles the case and has a peaceable tendency , is wholly false. It settles nothing. But as in the case of Brooks years ago who developed a challenge from Burlingame , it always lowers the moral tone ol con- and increases confusion , Secondly , frcss Laird had abundant means of vindication if ho bo innocent of the Stinklnq water charges. His attempt in this foolish , cowardly way to defend his character places him beyond the range of a moral and intelligent constituency ; and the act ought at least to forfeit his standIng - Ing with a'Cliristian people who should henceforth select an honorable man to represent thorn at Washington.

I be lieve you have it in your power to relieve him of his cmlmrJassment. In short , senator. I believe you have that pocketbook - book in your valise. " "Slri" exclaimed the senator , rising to his fco * . "Pardon mo , sonata ; I do not accuse you of anything. It was all n mistake. " "Well , sir , lotus look , " said the sena tor , still very indignant. The valise was thrown open , nnd thorn , sure enough , was the pookotbook. The tonator had gone to the conductor's room to make a chnngo of linen , and had nulled down the blinds. In the darkness no had gath ered up , with the cast-oillinen , the pock- olbook , which the conductor l.ad care lessly left upon the seat. It took lots of iiorvu for the strange gentleman to sooni to accuse the senator of the theft , but ho was so firmly convinced of the accuracy of his theory , on being nut do acquainted with the facts , and ho undertook the task.

' Tlio Roynl JCond.lister. ) Tlio person oti whom foil the duty of Riving distinction to lust night's over- hind train wns tlio llon.Wllllum Mahone , United Son.itor from Virginia. His ap pearance attracted attention at once as ho walked up and down the platform amid the motley crowd there gathered , and when ho wrapped tlio drapery of a travelled-stained duster about him and sank down to ploasunt dreams amid the Tyrlan purple of the Pullman car the contrast between the man and the place was marked. In fact , tlio silver-mounted porter had to gaze at him repeatedly to bo assured that ho really belonged to the car , and the gold-mounted conductor put a tab 0. K. on the section to avoid mis take. "William Keadjtistor" Is not a pretty man , although ho may have boon a liandsomo youth. His appearance probably changed with his politics. He is below the medium height , has a rather intellectually shaped head , but , oh , the hair and whiskers. lie must belong to that class of individuals who lake resolu tions never to shave or trim thuir halt until some decidedly doubtful future uvont is settled , and the Virginian per haps choose for his "doubtful event' ' ' n re-election to the senate. One mass of gray hair , irregularly marked with ma roon-colored hirsute streaks falls down ujjon his shoulders and back with an occasional van-colored switch Hopping around on his checks. The whiskers are full tlowing of the same jelly cake tints as the head-hair , and roach down on the breast. Unkempt but not uncanny was \Villiain and his apparel was arranged in har mony. One of those long linen coats that liad interviewed the dust of travel from Washington to Oinalui was the outer cover of a much mussed vest , un buttoned and delapidated , with black pants to match all terminating in the proverbial Japanese foot encased in the daintiest pair of low cut shoes. Yum Yum could never have taken inoro pride in her pedal extremities than thesenalor , perhaps she would not have as muohiea- son to , for Alahonc's foot is part of his fame. It looked as if lie had entirely neglected all other portions of his little frame to give his foot tlio benefit of at tention. No traveler on the tram last night was more negligent in his attire than ho who was oHiuinlly the head of them all. When ho took a reef in his old black slouch hat and adjusted a pair of spectacles that evidently were of May- llowor antiquity , thej uioiure of " 'foh the wall times in old " \ irginuy" was com plete. When asked in really hpnoyed tones if he had- ) any objection to stating his business to San Francisco , ho replied , " 1 decidedly object , sir , " with moro ' dignity than ho uses in addressing President Sherman , of the sen'ate. " Even llolman , of Indiana , the chartipidii objector , could never have civeit'ca faiorc impressive twirl to the third word in his answer. He would talk of nothing ofj importance but responded to reportprial-roplies by ques tions as to the numbefioJ hours it would take to reach certain roints on the n ute to San Francisco.Thisdino of conversa tion showed his Irish descent. Indeed the dethroned monar.ch'tbf Jho Old Do minion deigned to address no ono ex cept his private secretary , AY. S. Barnes , a tall , neatly dressed and exceodinKly tillable gentleman. Even when the lii $ : man suggested to the senator that the near dissolution of the senate may atlecl him so much that ho desired to be as far away as possible from the echoes of the farewells , hence his trip to San Francisco he made no effort to respond. Senator oUulione is evidently ono of the "classes" in feelings but he is ono of the "masses" in make up and would never do to chaperone - erono a bevy of Vassar girls if thcsilence maintained in Omaha remains the same on all occasions. He is to make quite an extended trip and will return east via Salt Lake , Denver and Kansas City. Safe it is to say ho has taken his leave of the senate forever if it does not keep in session until Christmas. Old Sol's Fierce Work. Old Sol poked his nose into a bank of heavy , murky looking clouds that hung over tlic IJluUs yesterday morning and dived under them with a blazing frown. The clouds began to break away at 7 o'clock and the shafts of sunshine that broke through the rifts sending down flashes of heat that made the laborers on their way to work long for Sunday and the parks. All the street cars on their downtown trips during the day were packed with sweltering , fretting passen gers , who poked their elbows in each other's ribs and faces when wiping the perspiration from their healed , sun- scorched brows. The hor.ios that pulled the cars along hung their heads as if weary of life , while their sides and flanks grow white with lather.

With n Line About the Horses of City Councilman Lowrcy was mot coming down the stairs from the oll'iuo of the chairman of Hie board of public works in the Crcighton block , yesterday. Ho had been up to see that gentleman and found the door locked , as many a reporter in thirdly has often found al o. The ollleo hours of HIP chairman , during the day. are about threein number , mid Mr. Hoit e is moro noted for being present during those hours than he is for being there at any other lime. Tlio council man Wus n little warm , and remarked- "YeMerday the building inspector said ho wanted a clerk , Ho claimed ho had to bo around town so much that he win not a' > lo to ho in his olllco to attend to those who tlosin-il permit1 ? .

The stateroom department of the Ogden sleeper was occupied last evening by Major Forest and Lieutenant Odgors. of the Twenty-second horse , II. M. A. , and Mr. C. W. Pearce , a journalist from Glasgow , Scotland. The first named two are on their way to Join their reiriinont , which is stationed at Sydney , Australia. They have been several mouths in Amer ica , and evidently young Lieutenant Odgers had seen the wrong side of the elephant for to use his own words : "H'l wouldn't give a piece of h 'Aus tralia as big as tins gangway for all of your bloody country. " When subsequently interrogated on tlio climate , extremes of temperature , arable land and society in general in Australia. the answers of the disgusted officer and Mr. Peareo were decidedly contradictory to the above expression. Thev said that the greatest extremes of heat" and cold existed in Australia ; the country was curned with parching south winds that burned up every vestige of vegetation in their paths , thousands aud thousands of acres wore no earthly use for plow or pasture , and as for society , "no one from Lunniin could stand it. " In all probability the train will go safely through to the coast , notwithstanding the company of these living illustrations of Mark Taploy and the American Notes. To-day's Dcvolopmciits. To-day tlio whole police force were engaged - gaged on the burglary , tryin < r to lind some clue to the identity of the fellow. So far they have been eminently unsuccessful. The lirst clue they discovered was the pair of shoes which the fellow had lost in trying to make his escape. They were rough cowhide affairs something on the plow shoo order. They did not have any marks showing the maker , seller or owner. They looked something like the shoes commonly worn by the negroes of the lower _ class , but the burglar was not an Ethiopian , as Mr. Susscnbach is willing to make oath , A fellow with his arm in a sling was soon sneaking about Hollman's residence on St. Mary's avenue this morning. It was thought that possiblv ho might bo the burglar. Officer ( J'Boyle was des patched to the scene , but could not lind the follow. It is just possible that the burglar may have gone to some doctor in the city here to have his wounds dressed , and from that circumstance , if the phpsician bo communicative enough , a clue may be obtained. So far , however , the "attending physician" has not filed his report with Marshal Cum- mings. Mr. Sussenbaoh is fooling somewhat weak after his sharp tussle. His hands still show the powder marks. Mr. Sus- senbaoh says hois unable to furnish an accurate description of the fellow , except that ho was a young man. Ilo would oe utterly unable to identify him. Alter tlio LSurglar.s. Nearly every policeman on the force , headed by Marshal Cummings , spent the day yesterday in search of the man who committed the dastardly attempt at bur glary of Mr. Sussonbach's rooms on Seventeenth street early yesterday morn ing. The parks in the southern part of the city and the timber around the packing houses were thoroughly searched , but no tangible trace of the follow could uo secured. The only clue that was at all reliable was obtained at the grocery store near McCoy's saloon , where a man entered about 0 o'clock yes terday morning and asked for some lard with which to rub his arm , which ho said ho had burned on a gasoline stove. The boy who filled the fellow's order noticed that his sleeve was covered with blood. Mr. Sus.senbach is feeling somewhat weak after his sharp tussel. His hands still show the powdqr marks , and ho says ho is unable to furnish an accurate description of the fellow , except that ho was a young man. Ho would bo utterly unable ) to identify him.

I1ASI3 HID Itnn That IH Up Against Vnn Dyke nnd Hrooks , of lilricoln. W. U. Harrington , manager of the Lin- olnbisa ball loam , is in the city , stop ping at the Paxlon. Ho is on his way to Chicago to confer with the arbitration committee concerning the blacklisting of Van IJyko , an old Union Pacitio player , and "Homo Htm" Brooks , two members of the Lincoln team , by the Northwestern league. As these players are well known throughout the west the fact of their bo- injr placed on the blacklist has caused considerable surprise and will boar Mr. Harrington's explanation. Ilo states that while ho WIH manager of the O h ko h loam rmrly in tlio season ho con- Iraotod with Van D.yko ami Brooks. Ho had some differences with the backers of the Osnko.sh nine and to save trouble , resigned , releasing Van Dyke and Brooks before ho resigned , ilo then wont to Lincoln taking the two players with him. The O.shkosh team tiiou se cured the blacklisting of the players as a moans of spiting Harrington ami for no real cause , Mr. Harrington claims that the players were blacklisted without oailsos , and ho feels conlidont that the arbitration committee will reinstate them if it iloos not go further ami cancel the franchise ot the Oshkosli team for mak ing the charge against the two players. The Oshko.sh team showed their hand a few days ago by announcing that they would withdraw their charges against Van Dyke and Brooks if the Lincoln team would release Mr. Harrington as their manager. Two HllKlit Accidents. Henry Hlsso , who resides at No. 1-1-17 south Eleventh street , had the bad luok yesterday to run a nail into his head while working in his barn. Dr. Darrow was called , and on examination ho found a deep cut on the head thrco inches long ami seven inches of the scalp torn off. The injury wa dressed , the wound stitched and Mr. Uisso made as comfort able as possible. A stranger who was hastily crossing theiailroad truck on Tenth street yos- t onlay , ran a steel splinter irom ore of the battered rails into his fool. It pene trated the ball of the foot about two inches and recourse had to bo had to Druggist . ) . W. Bell to extricate the splinter. Dr. Bell has not hung out his M. D. sign yet , nor is it known that ho has a sheepskin permit to practice , but in case ot an emergency he gets there all the same. A Weeper Front Wcoplnjr Wiitcr.

Ho came up to enjoy the beer and tlio bustle of the metropolis , and in some way $23 of hnrd money disappeared at one clip. How I ho financial exit occurred the ( Jer- man could not tell , but evidently some of the light-fingered gentry had rubbed against the stranger. The victim re turned homo moneyless and in tears- weeping water ho went baek to Weep ing Water. The Atlilotio'H Ijngngomont * ! .

Responsibilities Keating on Them , and the Oaro Which They Must Take. ' Chronicle "Con 1'ittsburg rclcgraph : sidering the responsibility imposed 0:1 : a train dispatcher , " .said an official at the Union station this morning , "it is simply surprising how few accidents happen which can be traced to them. Just look ut the trains which ariivo and depart troin this station every twentv-lour hours. The number is slmuly bewildering to the average patron who passes in and out every day , and wo frequontlv hear ex pressions of wonder how the trains are handled so as to keep out of each other's way. The train dispatcher must be a man thoroughly acquainted with every foot of the road over which he controls the trains , and he must maintain a cool head in order to accom plish the work assigned. Of course the systsm now in use on the Pennsylvania railroad induces the labors of tho. dis patcher , as well as the liability of acci dents , but still the work is arduous and the responsibility of the grayest charac ter. On some road.s , however , the entire work depends on the euro and accuracy of dispatchers , and when ho makes a mis take the results are most serious. Tno greatest ? number of aceidonlb are the re sult of trainmen out on the line , not un derstanding their orders , and frequently from watches stopping. In 1878 was tlio first Mingo disaster on the Panhandle , by which thirteen persons were killed. That was caused by the cuginci'r'tf watch stopping. The second Mingo wreck was in 1883 , nnd re.suHcd through a misunderstanding of orders. There is a.singular coincidence connected with these wrockc. Both occurred on the curve , within 100 yards of each other. The trains were on the same schedule num ber , the wreck occurred at the same time of night , and also at the same time of year. Each time both engines were com pletely wrcckoil and the wires torn down , and to end up there wasgroatcxeitoment among tlio dispatchers until tlio real cause was known. Some dispatchers have had very bad frights by giving wrong directions in regard to trains , but I do not recall now any instance where the apprehensions were well founded , or whom any serious results followed , in most instances the mistake having been discovered in time to prevent accidents , " With Cardinals Nowmnu anil Mann- lug.

I have hud amlieneu of two cardinals with Cardinal Newman , for thivi-iimrt | rciof an hour , and with Car dinal Manning for ton minutes , They are both plain , Mmpiu men , with little pomp about thorn. Cardinal Manning was emaciated and his face had Fovoral bad gabhc.s , as if ho had shaved in the dark and in haste. His linger was all bone , aud the ring slipped up and down upon it us ho spoke , llo would almost frighten you. Cardinal Newman pro- sonlud the appearance of a very old man , with his teeth gone , but his faeo were an Oxprcsslon of ropoio. Ilo would impress ou u.i a sweet character.
