The news of the sudden death of lion
lizra Millafd lias given a severe shock k
the community in which lie lived for sc
ninny years , and in whoso dorolonmcnl
from n straggling village to a great citj
he bore no inconsiderable part. 1'ow ol
our citizens were better known through
out the state and the west , and few held
in st't'li ' high c.olcom by those with whom ,
fi a man of largo business connections ,
he had conio in contact during Ids long
and energetic career. Mr. Millard'f
name is inseparably connected with the
growth of Omahn. Karly a prominrnl
and trusted citizen , the founder of : i
great bankiim house , ho wm called upn
frequently during the early days ol
Omaha to represent her stable interest. '
and o plan foundations for her future
greatness. As mayor of the city , anil
ono of thr delegation to secure foi
Omaha the location of the railroad terminus
minus , Mr. Mlllard rendered invaluable
services to this community. His clcai
foresight , sound judgment , and inherent
force of character were often called ink
requisition by our people for their ad >
vantage , and never failed in the emerg
ency.
As a business man , Mr. Millard was
shrewd , far sctiinc ami sagacious. From
1800 until the day of his death he wae
prominently Identified with banking in
this city , building tip the fortunes of no
loss than three large financial institutions ,
two of which survive him. Ho was u hard
student of the science of financiering ,
During the darkest days of the war his
faith in the solidity of the national credit
was unshaken , and he profited with many
other business men of his profession from
his belief in the ability of the govern
ment to fulfil its engagements.
Much of Mr. Millard's success , locally ,
was duo to a spirit of accomodation to
customers which in early times was
rarer than it is now when policy has dic
tated a broader gauged practice in
banking In n growing city. Not
a few nourishing commercial
houses and successful men
of business owe their start in life to his
confldunco in Omaha's future and his de-
si ro to build up divcrsiu'cd interests in
this community.
His death removes from our midst a
pioneer of Omaha , an esteemed citizen , a
friend the center of n largo circle of
warm admirers , a sagacious , enterpris
ing and honorable man of business and a
faithful and devoted husband and father.
Tlio Annrchlstfl Convicted.
The jury in the case of the Chicago
anarchists rendered its verdict Friday
morning , having been out since the after
noon of Thursday , or about twenty
hours. It found seven of the prisoners
guilty of murder as charged in the in
dictment , and fixed the penalty at death.
Ono , Ni'obo , was found guilty of murder
as cnargcd and the penalty fixed at fif
teen years' imprisonment , there having
been extenuating circumstances in hid
case.
case.This
This result will not surprise those who
have watched carefully the progress of
tlio trial mid studied closely the charac
ter of the evidence presented. From
the first movements in tjiis case , the most
remarkable of its kind in the history of
jurisprudence , it was made evident 'that
the state held an invulnerable position ,
whioh every day's developments
made surer and stronger. That
there had been a conspiracy involv
ing murder as ono of ils conditions or
altgynatjvos , no one. pretended to deny ,
The terrible consequences of the mur
derous plot shocked the civilized wprjd
in the killing and wounding of nearly a ,
score of policemen while in the lawful
discharge of tiojr | duty. Thq rc.sponsi-
bility ot those engaged in a , conspiracy
for its results is cjearly duliuod , and
there was no contention on the part of
the defense with respect to that definition.
The tai | of the state , tiq | conspiracy and
the resultant murdpr bejng established ,
was simply to prove that tJio men Ar
raigned wore parlies to thp conspiracy.
\Vith \ respect lo most of "lliem llus was
conclusively shown by positive evidence ,
wlnlo ull the circumstantial evidence was
of ft most convincing character. Al
together it formed an unbroken and pow
erful chain of convicting proof that re
sisted all the technical skill and elo
quence of the defense , and rendered cer
tain and inevitable , from an intelligent
and fearless jury , the verdict that was
given.
Wo believe It may bo nflinnad with en
tire justice that the prosoculion of these
missruided and unfortunate men has been
conducted with the utmost fairness , and
that every consideration which jusiico
required with roapcct to their proper de
fense has been accorded. If the result
was in anywise affected by public opin
ion and wo are not disposed to think it
was that inlluonco was certainly not al
lowed < o prejudice their cause in court.
Ihey have been zealously , if not in all
respuutd judiciously , defended , and no
right that men on trial under such cir
cumstances could claim has been denied
theui. As lo Iho proseculion , it was con-
dueled from beginning to end with dis
tinguished ability and with a'iiigh scnso
of the great importance of the extraor
dinary case.
The motion for a now trial will be ar
gued at the September term of the court.
Dmicly's .Decision.
Judge Duudy has rendered a decision
In the first of the suits between the cable
and street car companies. It is of gen
eral interest , more for what it suggests
lhau for what it lays down. It grants the
cable line the right to proceed with their
work under indemnifying bonds pend
ing appeal to the supreme court , but
passes upon none of thu questions in
volved in the pleas of tlio various attor
neys. The Bujiftcstlvo jart of tie ,
decision is that in which the Judge
admits that lie apprehended trouble
with the horse railway charter
from the time of its passage by tie terri
torial legislature. The doubts which
arose in Judge Dundy'a mind Have been
frcoly expressed over since by ail of our
best lawyers. There is no reasonable
question that the claim of the horse rail
way company to an exclusive franchise
for thu use of Omaha's streets will not
stand the test of the court * if presented
on its merits for adjudication. The ques
tion of damages is , of course , another
matter , and has nothing to do with char
ter rights. Under Judge Dundy's
decision the cable car company
can proceed with their track lay.
in ? so far us interference from
the United States court is concerned.
Another question it however likely to
arise and that Is the question of private
dnmaees. If the horse railway oomnan ;
are able and willing to convert lliel
turn mn street line into a cable roa <
thcro will bo soriout objections ralsec
against the occupation of the street b ;
tlio four tracks of the two systems
Otherwise some compromise should b
niado which will allow the people o

The llnttlc of. the YnclitR.
There are at this uioniont lloatinR Ii
the blue waters of'.ls'qw York bay h'vi
swift -sailing yachts --which command tin
attention and interest of n greater mini
bcr of people than airy oihor live object-
in this great republic , One of these ii
Iho English cutter Golilqa , which a few
weeks ago sailed across the ocean fron
her native isle to try i < orioliKions with tin
swifte l American yacht for the inter
national trophy won from England hnl
n generation ago and inco he-Id agains
nil comers the American's cup. The
others are the four American yachts tin
Puritan , victorious ovc-f IhoGenosta , tin
Priscilla , the MayllowOr and the AtlanlU
one of which will bo chosen after :
scries of three races between them t <
defend the cup. During tlio present wool
those representative products of the 11103
advanced skill and attainment In Kng
lish and American yaclit-construetion , a
also of radically different principles
have been In "training" for the grea1
contest. That is , they have all boon Ii
the dry docks and received a thorougl
"rubbing down" with sand-paper , coat-
of red and black lead , and such othci
treatment and touching up as woru no
ccssary to put thnm in Iho bwt condition
for racing. It has been a week of rare
delight to the enthusiastic yachtsmen
who were enabled to study the "lines'
and discover Iho beauties of those several
examples of the shipbuilder1 s art , am
even the usually ttnlmpresilblo ru
porters seem to have boon enthused , one
of them having described the Uniatnn as
"a picture wnieh will long live In the
memory of every lover of the splendid
sport of yachting who saw her. "
The first of the thrco races between tin
American yachts , which will dolermlm
which ono shall defend the trophy , wi I
take place to-day. It will undoubtedly
bo an exciting event , so far as thu popu
lace is concerned. Each yacht has its ad
mirers , and thousands of dollars wil
change hands on the result. The May
llowor is the favorite , with the Puritar
second , ana the Priscilla third , but tin
general judgment appears to bo that the
honor of contesting with the Galatea wil !
fall to ono of the first two , both of whicl
arc Boston boats. Of the result in thai
case there seems to bo very lilllo doubt
among Iho knowing ones , the Englisl :
cutter not having proved so good n boal
in homo waters as the Gencsta , under
conditions quite as favorable as she is
likely to have in American waters. Still ,
she is a swift and reliable craft , and it if
certainly possible for her to win. Should
the American yacht , however , bo again
successful , ihoro is assurance that wo shall
have to do baltlo next iyoar against the
Ivex , whose rcconl defeat of Hie Gcncsla
shows that she may ! bo ) a winner any

TIIK German newspapers continue ti
see what tlioy interpret as evidences ot i
drawing together ot Hnsain and Franci
into an alliance against England , Ger
many and Austria. The signs are ccr
talnly numerous that an cstrtuigemen
has taken place in the relations of tin
two latter powers with their great north
om neighbor. The unanimity between
the "three emperors , " which was cordia
enough to impel Germany in 1875 to licet
Russia's friendly request to the kaise
not to attack France , docs not figure s (
conspicuously in European news as i
did ton or twflyo jours ago , or ovei

Russia has grown materially in power ii
tlio past decade and a half. In 1870 it ton
the treaty of 1850 in fragments , and re
moved some of itswarshipMnto the lUacl
Sea. Within the past three months it hat
completed a rajhvay across the deserts o
Asia , and pun now move troops by rail t <
within striking distanoo of Herat , the kej ;
fo England's enipjro m India. A montl
ago it ostentatlpusjy got aside the treaty
of 1878 , and cjosed the port of Bqtouni t <
the free commerce of the world. Tin
