THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : WEDNESDAY AUGUST 18 , 1SSO , CAVETIIEH THE GRIPES Van Wyck'e ' Propositibn Has a Bad Effect Upon Lincoln's Political Bosses A FEW POLITICAL FORECASTS. New Complication In tlio Second Judicial Dlfltrtot - Paul's Suc cessor ns a Cnntlldnto Until- tnl City News. trnnv TUB TIKE'S LINCOLN- The invitation of Senator Van Wyek for aspirants in the senatorial succo slon ( jiioMioii to come out and talk to the people ple , and the request from tbo same source to give the people an opportunity to express by ballot their individual preferences , has caused Iho Stale Journal nud Us admiring associates , who essay to boss Lancaster county politics , to hnvo another attack of political cramps that doubles them up mid keeps that body of personal patriots uwuko nighls ami in a cold Bweat. The public utterances of the Slalo Journal area very fair rellex of the talk of its associates over the mailer , and the attempt to show that Judge Cobb , to whose candidacy every political move ment on the Lancaster checker-board is turned , Is not a candidate Is regarded by those outside the charmed circle as very rioh Indeed and a fair index of the con fidence they possess In their candidate in n fair open question of settlement among his own constituency. There are a great many people in Lancaster county , and a not inconsiderable number in thu city of Lincoln , who , with all due ru-noct to Judge Cobb , would take 'a great deal of pleasure it : going on record on the senatorial succession question , and they are just now enjoying Iho squirming that is going on in the truck patch of llio county. The ell'orts of the Journal edltorto draw attention from the main question at Issue by suggesting that Laird , a candidate for nomination for congress , be jutted against Mr. Van Wyck In discussion regarding the sena torial succession , is very generally regarded - garded as being accompanied with the wisli that Laird would bring to the debate - bate some of his congressional methods of greeting an opponent when driven to n close corner. Unquestionably there is method even in tlui madness of llie Jour nal nt Senator Van Wyck in asking a Vote of conlidence from the people. sr.coxu .rrmciAt , DIVUIIUT politics seem to bo full of promises for u lively time in tlio selection of u successor to Judge llayward , of Nebraska City , who was appointed by Governor Dawes to the position. It has been staled on numerous occasions and with an olllcial air that Judge llayward did not desire to miccocd himself and could not tie a can didate. This view of the case is gener ally understood over the district , and in no place better than al his homo. But it Hccms that there is a delicate littla Hohomo on foot to turn the succession over to an attorney of Judge Hay ward's own town , and for thai purpose it is said that in Lancaster Mr. Ilayward's name will be used as a candidate , and a dele gation made up foi his interests can then lie turned whenever it is desired. A prominent politician brings this bit of political news and forecast , and it will do lor food for reflection for Lincoln attor- novs , and for thorn to judge whether they wish to be handled In a blind tort of u way in nettling thu question. The precedent of giving an appointive olliccr in election would no doubt give Judge llayward a delegation from the district , if ho desired the nomination , but if ho doesn't the skirmish will bu u lively one uml wortli the watching. THU CANVASS FOR ( SOVHIIXOIt. "Tlio canvass for governor , " said a prominent North .Platto republican , "is just well inaugurated in our suction of the state , and we arc visited quite often by candidates themselves or their next friends. Since the practical doing away w'lli ' Paul as a candidate Ihero nio sev eral comities that had been conceded to Paul that will be lor some other man whim the time comes. " To the question as to who the man would be , the North Platte man thought that GerrarU , of Co lumbus , would t > o very apt to capture a major part of them , and the idea was further expressed llmtMr. Gorrard would luivu quite an extensive following in the convention.

Tim wretched work of the Lincoln club lulls lust gaino with the Leavenworths unit the fact that four or live of the men were under the inlluenco of liquor at the time and the fmther fact that they invaded vadod the saloons in uniform at the close of tuuinuiiQ awoke the association to the need of a show of discipline on its pan and consequently live of the players were lined $10 each 'or their spree. The fact of their victory at Omaha and the extras furnished the players by local ndmirerd " 1 to completely tipsel them uud knock them out of time. Their fine was jonornlly approved. The case of MM.

THE EXECUTIoTToF MAXIMILIAN How the IStnporor nmt Generals Allra- iiion niul MIJIu Met Xliclr Fate. Paris Figaro : The moment had come ; each of the condemned men mounted the carriage which awaited them , and they traversed tlio streets of Qiieretaro in tlio midst of a motley multitude , who.rcsuijot- t'nl and afflicted , crowded around on their passage ; handkerchiefs were waved , and now and again n sob would reach the prisoners' ears. The condemned men bowed on each side as they recognized in the crowd many a familiar face. Some minutes before 7 o'clock they arrived on the Cerro do las Campanas , a little nioro than half a mile distant from the town ; here they descended from tlio car riage. walked on foot half way up the hill called Corrode las Ciunpanns , and turned their backs against u clump of cactus. Tlio general in comnuvnd ot tlio troops , S. Gracia do Lton , caused an order of the day to bo read , making it a penally of death for any person who should try to prevent the execution , and the prisoners were then given leave to ad dress the crowd. ' .I ho sun was b3' now high in the blue sky , glowing over tbo profound a/.ure of tlio lofty mountains and bathing the valley with an intense flood of light and heat. The Ccrro. like an immense rock thrown in the valley , stood forth bare and yellow looking , green in places , with patches of cactus and nopals ; a square of four thousand men surrounded the base of the hill , with its regular lines and its uniforms and bayonets glittering in the sun. Ont- side the medley of the undulating crowd , toward the east , appeared the lines of the white houses of Querotaro , all nearly covered with foliage and surmounted with numerous cupolas and crosses ] in the far ilistanco the dim , bluish outline of the Cordilleras. The oillcor in com mand of the file of execution approached Maximillian and asked his pardon for having to fulfill his duty. Tlio omnoror distributed several pieces of gold wear ing his olligy to the soldiers , recommend' ing them not to aim at his face. Ho then embraced Generals Mojia and Miramon , and as the latter had placed himself on his right , ha said to him aloud : "Bravo men should bo respected by their sovereigns to the urink of the grave. General , pass to the place of honor. " Miramon stopped to tlio center. Then with u linn voice the em peror addressed the crowd : "Mexicans ! Men of my race nud origin are born either to make a people's happiness or to bo martyr" . God grant Unit my blood may bo Iho last shod for the redemption of this unhappy country. Long live Mexico I" Immediately General Mira- mon. ut the top of his voice , as when ho commanded his troops on the battle Hold , cried : "Mexicans ! Bof ore the court martial my defenders only sought to save my life. At the moment I am about to appear before my God I protest against the name of traitor which they hnvo thrown In ray face to justify my con demnation. Let this spot ol infamy' bo removed from my children's name , and God grant that my country maybe happy. Long live Mexico ! " Gcn.Majla raised his oyoj toward the hnavons : "Very holy mother , 1 beseech thy Son to pardon mo , as I pardon those who arc about to sacri fice mo. " A volley rang out from the lilo of soldiers , and , amidst tlio cloud ol smoke , which slowly drifted away.Maxi- millhui appeared writhing convulsively in n pool of blood , and groaning : "Hay Hoinbrel" The coup do grace put him out of his agony , St. Jacobs Oil cures neuralgia ami rheumatism nnd conquers pain , Next month the Parisians will bo able to burn their dead in four crematory fur naces , which has just boon finished at Poro-la-Qhaiso , There will be no first , second and third class cremations.

Never lloatcn , Never Pushed , to tlio Top of lUs Speed On Him , O'lCclljAVon His Kortunc. Chicago Herald : At the clo e of n rac ing season almost unparalleled in the his tory of Chicago , whore many great horses have been seen and great races run , It may not be untimely to recall the history of the greatest race horse the world ever saw. saw.On On the 1st of April , 1701 , during nn eclipse of the sun , Spilotla , a mare be longing lo llie Duke of Cumberland , in England , gave birth to a chestnut colt , which was at once named Kclipso , consequence quence of the heavenly phenomenon at tendant upon its birth. Ho had a roy.il pedigree , tracing back his dc'cont through the best of KnglamPs horses to those Hying children of the desert which had been imported iu the previous cen tury. The Duke of Cumberland , uncle uf George III , was a patron of prixe fighters and of the turf , and Is known in history as Butcher Cumberland , hero of Culloden. llo tiled the. year after the chestnut colt was born , and his stud was sold , Kclipso among tlio rest. Ho was a very unpretending lookinc chestnut colt , with n white bia/o from ins forehead to his nose , his off hind leg while from the top of the shank to the foot. Hu was short iu the forehand and high in the hipi , and had lui uncommonly bad tempor. He bit and kicked and shied and struck out wtlh his forelegs like a boxer. Ho was in fact tin unpromising yearling , and nt tlio sale was knocked down to a Mr. Wildman , who know a thing or two about horses , for soventy-llvo guineas. His temper was c.ortamly very provoking , and Mr. Wild- man got out of patience with him very oflen , and ut last , in a rage , put him in tlio hands of a rough riding poacher , who rode him about all day from stable testable stable , and at night look linn to Iho cover side and made him wiiit while the poacher was taking unlawful g.vmo. This rough treatment brought the cell some what to terms and rendered him more docile , but his spirit remained unbroken. When ho was four years old Colonel Den nis ( ) 'Kelly paid Wildman 850 guineas for a halt' interest in him , and shortly af terward gave 7oO guineas for the remain ing interest , anil thus became his sole owner. Colonel O'Kolly was an Irish adven turer , springing from a very loxv origin , who suddenly appeared on the English turf with u great horse and a pocketfull ot money. Ho had led a wild and scramb ling life , sometimes meeting with great reverses , and once iindinjr himself in prison for debt. Escaping from the toils of his credilors through the assistance of a lady friend , who gave him her last 100 , fortune now seemed to turn in his favor , and everything he touched tunied to gold. But ho could not got admitted to the Jockey club nor into llie social clubs of London , and the aristocracy would have nothing to do with him , notwithstanding his money. But ho had courage , pa tience , industry and sagacity , nnuin his way was as invincible as his horso. To prevent his jockey being bought over lie paid him an annual salary , with the priv ilege of taking other mounts when O'Rolly had no her > e in thu Kamo race , nn arrangement now very common and usual , but at that time unknown. Having had his plans now all per fected , O'Kolly entered Eclipse for n small race at Lpsoni Downs. It was JEoO outrv for horses that had ne.vcr won , 30 matches oxcopted. Eclipse \yi\s live years old and this was his first race. The day before the race O'Kclly took odds to n largo amount , and just before the race bet oven money , and then 5 and 0 to 4 that his horse would win. Nay , more , this noisy and obstreperous Irishman offers a largo amount of even money that ho can place the horses. There are some good horses in the race , so everybody is willing to accommodate Colonel O'Kolly when he thinks ho can place these horses. It is the 3d of May , 17G'J. ' The saddling bell rings and the horses appear for a trial cantor. The English squires , as they look at O'Kolly"s light chestnut , don't goo so much in him. lus forcquartorssink in his stride , there is something very odd about Ins withers , and , heaven of heavens ! ho is a roarer and blows like a grampus. There can't bo much in that boast. The horses are ready , the starter comes forward , and O'Kolly is called on to declare. Ho violently lently shouts out the sentence , now prov erbial : "Eclipse first , the rest nownoro. " The Hag drops , and the horses start. It is n four-mllo-raco. At the three-mile post tlio horses arc all together ; the ciicstnct has not como forward yet. But now ho comes , with his jockey pulling on Him as hard us ho can , and the great horse distances nil Iho others under a pull nnd without turning a hair. As the orowd close in around the unrulllcd win ner they begin to see his beauties , Ho has shoulders like a greyhound , his quar ters are finely proportioned , and his mus cles of forearm and thigh are like stool. The triumphant jockey tells the noisy , exulting colonel that Eclipse had made the running and Hi en broke clean away from the ruck. It was a great day for the Irishman. The same season Eclipse won race after raco. king's plates , city cups and purses , and bets of ail kinds for his owner. Nor was there anything un certain about Ins victories. Ho cut aown the Hold at once , and shot m like a rifle ball. ball.Tho The next year , 1770 , it was the same story over again. So great became Ins colourity that the greatest odds , ten and twenty to ono.had to bo laid on him to got a bet. Many horses would not start against him , so ho only had a walk over. Ho won for O'Kolly ' a wagon load of gold cups , silver plates and purses of guineas. Ho run against tlio Dost horses that could bo produced , and ho distanced tlwm all. There was no struggle , no effort - fort , no neck and nook contort. Ho never scorned to bo put to his best speed. Ho was never struck by whip qr spur. In all tlio pictures of him extant his jeokoy is soon sitting low and still in the saddle , His career on the turf lasted ono year and live months , during which time | in was never beaten and was never forced to the top of his spcod , Ho ran nil dis tances , but it was not the custom in those days lo time races , BO his time was never taken. Old mon who had known and soon the celebrated Flying Guilders , who wont nearly a mile n minute , supposed that Eclipse was his equal. O'Kolly won enough money on him to buy him self a magnificent country scat at Can nons , Middlesex : , England. There tlio paragon of race horses was placed in tie | stud , whcro ho became the sire of three } hundred nnd thirtv-livo winners , who won among them 100,000 exclusive of plates and cups. Ho died on the 20th of February , 1730 , in tno twcnty-sixtn year of his ago. His heart weighed fourteen pounds , and it was doubtless to this immense organ that his extraordinary courage ami power was duo. There is no doubt ho was very thick winded , and ho was called "a roarer , " which was said to bo duo to his curly poaching days. Of O'Kolly some anecdotes nro still preserved. tiiou < ; h of his ultimate fate history is silent. Ho became a successful breeder of race horses , and , in point of judgment on.racing nnd race horses.was considered one of the Iirst men of his timo. Ills gains from this source were said to bo immnnso. Ho was nn Inveter ate gambler and , passed a great portion of his time nt , tlio hazard table. Ho would olten hhvti in his hands or his pockels as much Vis 7,000 or 8,000 in notes. A bet for a Marge sum wasonco proposed to him which he accepted. Tlio proposer asked O'Kdly whcro lay his es tates lo answer for the amount if ho lost. "My estates , " cried O'Kolly. "Oh , if that's what you ihnno , I've a map of them hero , " and opening his pockctbook ho exhibited banknotes to ten times llie sum iu question , nnd ultimately added the inquirer's contribution to tlicm. It was his custom lo carry a great number of bank notes In his waistcoat pocket , twisted ui ) together. Once , wlion lie was standing at the ha/.ai\l table , the chairs being all full , the players oppo site O'Kclly obsened a person behind him in the act of picking his poekets. Tlio alarm was given , and the ou'euder arrested , the company demanding that lie should bo taken before a magistrate. But O'Kelly sci/.ed him by the collar , kicked him down stairs and exclaimed , "Twas a siilllcicnt punishment for the blackguard to bo deprived of llie pleas- tire of keeping company with gentle men. " Ho was n noisy , romping.ronnng.good- miturcd son of hriu. Ono would like to know what ultimately became of him. Lnto L'CK.il IJCSHOIIS.

As told by the defendant , no story could bo more excitedly inter esting and hornblo than the bare recital of how ho and his live companions wan dered aimlessly about the mountains without food , raving mad with hunger , eating their mocassins , willow buds , rose buds , and linally devouring each other. Then after the death of the remainder of the party the cold , unfeeling account of how ho took llesli from the legs of his compan ions , boiled it in tin cups and ate it , has never boon equaled in tlio history of jurisprudence in America.

Israel Swan , CJoorge Noon , I rank Miller , James Humphrey and Shannon Wilson Hell and myself started from Ouray's camp for the Sau Juan. It was cola , the snow was deep , ami travel uilllcult. \ \ o gave up our boots and tied blankets about our fool. \Vo had to do it to keep them from freezing. Old man Swan gave out iirst. Ho was old and thin in llcsh. "Our broad gave out the ninth day.Vo had only eaten one meal a day during the last few daysjbceausc it wajj storming anil blowing so that wo could not see u few feet boioro us. \ \ e were keeping up toward the summit of the hills , aiming for Los 1'inos Agency. Bell first gave uji his moccasins , and wo made one meal of those , boiling them. I next gave up mine , and then the others. I3cll had a hatchet , Noon had a gun , but I carried the gun about half the time. I think wo must have been out in the mountains several weeks after running out of food. "The men were getting desperate and Bell seemed to bo getting crn/.y. His eyes protruded from his head. While tlio others complained and talked , ho re mained silent. The men cried for salt. Tiiey did not ask for food ; it was only salt , saU. Wo had been eating willow and rosebuds for several days , having found some in the valley near tno lake , where Lake City now stands. We had run out of matches and carried fire with us iu a cofleu-pot. One day _ we saw a game trail upon tlio mountains and it was agreed that 1 should go on the trail , as I was the strongest. 1 took the Win chester rifle and searched. In the morn ing 1 left tlic men crazy with hungerami in tlio evening when I returned 1 had found a bunch of roses and had n good dinner from them , but no game. 1 felt stronger. "As I approached the fire I saw Bell bending over the fire cookingsomc meat. I spoke to him and he immediately rose and started for me with a hatchet. I ran down the bluff , but I fell , and while down I shot him through the side as ho approached preached mo. Ho fell and the hatchet dropped by me. 1 snatched it up and threw it at him and struck him in the head. I went up to the camp again and found that the rest of them were dead and that the meat Bell was cooking was llesh from Humphrey's leg. " The prisoner took books and showed the position of nacii body as it lay around tii3 lire , and how ho rolled each one in hfs blanket and left him lying as he found him. him."I "I stayed in camp the rest of the night. I then made my camp off a short dis tance and therofor possibly fifteen days. During that time I was crazed with hun ger and I cut the flesh from Bell's ' log nnd boiled it in a tin cup and ate it. It made mo very sick. My stomach was empty and weak , and I vomited very violently that night. After this I fre quently ate the meat and several times 1 trioil to get out of the country. 1 would climb up the mountain , but failing to sco any hope , I would return again to camp , and again cut the the flesh from the limbs of IhQ dead men and ate it. I was about forty miles from Los 1'inos Agency and I did not know the exact distance. This was getting along in April. The witness then narrated at great length how lie wandered from day to day oycr the mountains , having a supply of human flesh along , ami finally , in the last days of April , ho found his way to Sagnachu. ' 'Hero Major Downed gave mo my first food , which wan brandy and a light diet , I soon regained my appetite and took up my lodging witli Larry Dolan , a saloon keeper. General Adams had gone out to Denver , and ho was expected back every day , Finally ho came , and I told him I wanted to get back to the Los Pines country , to General Adams' headquar ters , nnd loin my comrades , tlio parties that I left bolMluf , "He agreed to take mo. 1 had bought a horsu and saddles from Otto Meats for sfTrjKoiurning to the agency , my story 'was told , but not as 1 now tell it , for 1 'was tuiliiinieil for tlio world to know how I had lived , Goneiul Adams got me into hisollicp and induced mo to make the confusionof which hu told you. 1 don't think it was put in writing. To provo my story a party started with mo to find the remains , but I got lost and could not find my way. "it was SD stormy when wo went over the ground iu tlio winter that I could not KCO the land marks. The party thought I was playing them false , and they began to accuse mo of murdering the men.Vo \ returned tb camp and 1 was arrested uml taken to Sagaucho , " The prisoner related how ho was treated by the otticor. how ho was pro vided with u toy to his shackles , and a Back of grub , and while tlio sheriiTwns gonn trom home ho released himself and made his way to'anon ( City , mid from there to I'uohio. where he staid that sum mer and raised a crop of porn and sold it. Then ho wont to the mountain * of Wyoming and Montana , traveling under tlui numo of John Swartz. Jtcturning to tlioso parts of tin ; uarativu which ho omitted , Parker said : ' 1 am i accused of robbing thodrad , Vos , tdid rob the dead when I cut the tlosh from tlio bodies , preparing to start out over the range in search of civilization. 1 then look $5 from Swan's pocket , a sffiO bill from Boll , and $10 from Miller. Here is whore I did wrong. I robbed the dead , but I knew the money would do my dead comrades no goodand I , being yet alive , thought the money might help mo to save my life. 1 am willing to lake the blame of robbing the dead , for It was wrong. " Parker was found guilty of man- slangier on live count * ami sentenced to forty years' imprisonment.
