W hen Ilowo bulldozed the Lancaster county republican conven tion into giving him tlio delegation to the congressional convention by threat- ruing to come to the legislature and fight Lincoln , he was dealing with a crowd of politicians just as craven as the candi date was himself , but ho is dealing with tlio p'joplo just al present and the revival of the threat In the shape that if ho was defeated at the polls a member elect of the legislature would resign so that ho could bo elected at a special election and come to Lincoln to wreak out vengeance will not work. There is a limit to bull dozing , and men possessed of honest manhood will not bo scared by IIowo nnd the thieat.s of his henchmen. Church IIowo does not own Nomaha county , bound hand and foot , nml he does not own the candidates on the legislative ticket in that county. \ \ lion the threat was first promulgated in Lincoln that IIowo would cause a vacancy in Nemaha county if beaten and come up to Lincoln to wreck the town , a prominent republican of Lincoln , an interested property-holder , wrote to a republican equally prominent in Nemaha county , who procured from the legislative candidates in that county the following written pledge , higned m the handwriting of the candidates them- helves and cheerfully furnished. The following is a literal copy of the pledge. and shows that the candidates are not dummys of the Hon.

The des perate efforts being made to frighten the Lincoln voters by a picture of IIowo stalking about iu wrath is all in tlio Imagination of the boodlcrs themselves , and there will bo no resigning in Nomaha county to m.iKo room for him in any capacity but that of a retired politician , who will have learned the respect with uhioli honest men regard him.

Lawyer Courtnay , who ha > ; worn the Roh'8 oil' Ins shoes attempting to boost Church IIowo , appeared to do about all tlio work in tint Into torchuous parades. ami it is said tliut Courtuay drilled the Glee club that sung and scattered the .sawdust in the link wherein pranced the Nemaha man. It is generally expressed that Courtuay is in mighty small biiii- nebs titis campaign , and that ho had bet ter eonline himself to his law olllco in future. His boodle boss may pay him a bij } fee , however. The spectacle of the police force and the llro department being hauled into the hired parade for the benefit of IIowo was a spectacle of partisanship worthy tiio iiM'ciitivo ' head of the Lincoln city gov ernment , and is jrenonilly condemned as an uncalled-for procedure. It was about all there was of the parade , and it was evidently intended as a divine notice upon the ilepaitiuents to vote Ho we or bo beheaded.

They Lwlit tlio Foundations or n Millionaire's Fortune. New York Times : "Do any of you know what became cf thn cotton that General Jackson used for breastworks ut the battle of New Orleans ? " This inquiry was addressed by ono of New York's old merchants the other evening ton company of friends , not ono of whom did know where that famous cotton wont. "It formed the foundation of ono of Now York's bigsest fortur.es , " went on the merchant. "Thirty years or so ago one of tlio millionaires of this town was Stephen Whitney ; millionaires were scurco then , but Mr. Whitney's fortune was almost worthy of rank with that of John Jacob Astor. Whitney started out in life without much money , but had matlo some progress when the war of 1812 came. Ho was a conserva tive merchant , with a reputation for care fully considering every enterprise that ho entered upon ; and naturally , therefore , lots of his friends were astonished when , at the close of the war , ho hurried down to Now Orleans and bought the great piles of damages cotton tht < had stood between Jackson's soldior.s and the Bill- ish bullets. The bulk of his fortune went into the investment. Ho bought every scrap of it. There were few people oogni/.ant of this notion who did not bo- tinvo that it would prove disastrous , but Stephen Whitney put the doubters qulok- ly to rout , The tons on tons of cotton lie paid the government two cents a pound for were soon upon the markets of Great Britain , and , thanks to the effect of , a long-continued embargo , netted him something like fifty cents upon every pound , u'horo was the great corner stone of Merchant Whitney's fortune a fortune that ligures still on Now York's tax lists as "tho Whitney estate. " In vestments in Now York real estate de veloped the fortune. Unpieccilcnteil Jfcntli , London Spectator : Ono would have thought U impossible that there should bo an unprecedented accident ; but it is said that the catastrophe on Loch Fj'no , by which seven persons lost their lives Saturday , had never occurred before. It has been the custom of the bailies of Glas gow to attend the annual "monster blasts. " in the creat Crarao Quarries on that loch , and this.yunr thn custom was observed.

The fifty mile race betwc.cn Albert .Schock nnd John S.l'lincc.thn champion ship long distance ruler , attracted about TOO people to the exposition building last night. 15ut for the counter sporting tit- traction at Cunningham hull the attend- unco would undoubtedly huvo been larger. As It was the event was by no means a failure financially. The work of choosing scorers , time keepers , etc. , being disposed of , the track was cleared. The selections made were as follows ; Scorers , A. C. Johll'o , V. M. Shaw ; timekeepers , Perry Hadolot , T. T. Mclloncr ; judges , Henry Schoek , F , S. I'urmaluo ; refereu , George K. Kay. The truck was nine laps to thu mile , with raised ends , By the terms of the ruce Prtneo gave his antagonist ono milo start in thu fifty. About a quarter of eight o'clock both mon appeared on the truck. Prince was dressed in light blue shirt and trunks , while Schock wore u dark blue shirt and lavender lights. At 8 o'clock the timekeepers set their stop-watches to ticking. The referee lired the pistol shot. nnduolh men started irom the scratch. Prince tore down the truck at a terrillc pace , spurting far ahead of Schook. At this end of the first ilo _ ho had gained liulf a lap on his opponent , at the end of second tiro-eighths of n lap , and at the third mile , he passed liini : uid started for his second lap. By terrific spurting , Prince gradually increased the distance , und when he had lire miles to his credit , Sehock Mad but four miles and seven lais. ) At the close of the eighth mile , Prince again .spurted and passed Schock on the outside , starting on his third lap uhciul. At the end of the eight mile , Prince was exactly three laps ahead of Schoek , consequently having six more hips to gain in order to accomplish his tusk. In other words , uHhough the race was not quito one-sixth run , Prince had gained one-third the necessary number of laps. laps.From From this time on Prince bent himself steadily to the work of gaining laps. His method of accomplishing the work showed his sagacity. Naturally possessed of better , muscle and more science than his opponent , ho employed these ad vantages to accomplishing the best results. After passing Seliook , ho would spurt tremendously and gradually reach his opponents hind wheel , thus gaining the lap. Instead of trying to pass Schock at once again , he would follow him about for eight or ton laps more , pushing him of course to his highest , .speed. When ho hud gained his wind , and pretty thoroughly exhausted Schoek , lie would lurain throw himself upon his wheel and making n terrific speed , would puss his antagonist. These tactics ho pursued until ho gained the necessary number of laps.At . At ten miles Prince had gained 3 1-5 laws , at 20 miles ! laps , at 22 miles 5 laps. This sort of thing was kept up until at the iJSth mile and second lap , Prince had gained the necessary mini bur of lups. lor the ne\t tire miles he trailed closely titter Schock , pushing the latter to a high notch of speed. At the J8d milo and third lap , Prince shot ahead of his antagonist for the tenth time. Ho did not keep the lead long , however. Shock gritted Ins teeth , pre pared for a great effort and by a tremendous spurt of speed passed Prince , lie held himself in the front until at the fortv-eiglith milo and fourth lap Prince again passed him amid thu hearty cheers ot the spectators. Again Schock tore ahead of him , only , howorer , to lose the lead on the .seventh lap of the fiftieth mile. From this on Prince gradually pulled away from Schouk , winning by about an eighth lap. The fifty miles , us will bo scan by reference to thu ap pended table , wore covered in exactly 2 hours and 35 minutes. The bust indoor record over made before this was 3t3. : achieved by Prince at Minneapolis a few weeks ago. So that last night's race lowers the world's indoor record by three minutes. AriT.lt THE HACK. "I was never harder pushed in my life , " said Prince to a reporter as ho was being rubbed down after the run. "I was in blasted poor condition because I haven't trained as I ought to have. Just look at the surplus tleih on mot And then look at Seohck , Ho's in mighty good trim , 1 can tell you , and made me work hard to win. Why on the forty-ninth mile I had the crumps so bad that 1 could hardly sit in my sent and I had a good notion to give up the raco. I could never have gained another lap in the world. " John S. Prince , ttio winner of the race , is 27 yours of ago , weighs 170 pounds und is five feet ten inches high. Sohock , the loser , is BO years old , weighs 1-18 pounds and is live feet seven inches in height. Prince rides a Oil-Inch wheel , Sohock n 54 inch. By the terms of thu contest Prince wins the $100 purse and 70 per cent of the not gate receipts , Schock receiving 80 per cent thereof. A TA1ILK. The following will show Princes record at every five miles , nlso the previous best Indoor record nt 10 , 20 and 50 miles. From this it will bo noticed that the world's record was beaten In every cuso ; JACK llANMJy'S ni3M3Pll\ An IntcrcBtltiK 1'rocrniniiin or Sports at Gunninuliaui Hp.ll , Jack Hunloy's bonolit took place lust night nt Cunningham's hull. There waa an excellent nttcudaneo , nnd the pro gramme arranged by the management was sulliciontly varied to keep the at tendance in excellent humor throughout the evening. Patsy Fallen acted as manager , time keeper , referee and everything else. The first feature was a sot-to between two local young men , ono of whom was distinguished by a check , while the other wore a wliito shirt. This was a wildly amusing engagement , in which the while shirt gentlemen got the worst , being knocked almost into a cocked hat , aim faintly striving to save himself by u tltou- land of aimless llttlu blows. Professor Day , of Toledo , then enter tained the crowd with some swinging of Indian clubs. The next feature was a four-round en counter butwcen Duncan McDonald and Professor Uay , The Montana cham pion was encased in white shapes , black stockings 'and canvas shoes , Day appeared in pink shapes and drab Blockings. . McDonald , it was evident , was by far the moro scientific of tlio two. lie ciouilncd himself mainly to brushing Dn.vV.6li1'ok with long-reaching left Imiulore , wliilf * Drty endeavored l sustain liimsolf'by'Jiody blows unon hi ? opponent , ttltlrhidld not oftcii reach tholr aliu. Day succoedwl at intervals in reaching the Montana chief's feature" ' , but with little' elloct , while , now nml then , slight irntatlbn caused the latter to rain liMaror * upon the professor until his features resembled in hue of a par boiled lobster. Twice Day was forced to the ropes , but his antagonist did not press ids advantage , anil smilingly skipped on" and fillowed his opponent to again conic forth uninjured. In the ln t round McDonald dUplaytt 1 unusual literally dancipg nronml his opponent , dealing him bapl ; hand blows nnd lock * ingith consummate cie : with Day before - fore the liitlor knew where ho stoodT and then leaving without , in tlio slightest. maniior , fctrivinj * to rai o the latter oil' Ids feet , which ho might easily liavo done if ho had but utiliriul his advantage , or exerted the strength which his tactics increased. Ono of the latter was his breaking aw.iy from ono of these locks , pirouetting upon his giant too and laughIngly - Ingly dealing aback-hand slap upon Day , much to the murrlmcnt of the gathering. when the professor felt that McDonald was running away from him. Despite McDonald's experience and skill. Day ae- quitted himself creditably , anil displayed extremely good retentive wind POWCM. .Foil Smith then , in everyday shoes , danced a Lancashire clog , which was warmly applauded. Patsy Fallen Hum announced hlmsolf as a reader. Ho buttoned his coat collar over his biled shirt front , lingered his looks over his luow and recited the dill- ! cult piece. "Tho Maniac's Pica , " with such intulligeiico und dlluct that the audience raided tumultuous appluto. : McDonald then appealed anil treated tlio audience to one of the lincst exhibi tions of club-swinging which has" over been witnessed m Omnlm. Hvory feature was applauded , ami the impres sion created was that McDonald had but few superior.s In the country. John P. Glow , with his boyish features and manly form , the. latter encased as to Ills limbs in pink tights and black stockings - ings , jumpcd lightly upon the .stand. Ho was received with cheers. Jack llaiiloy f ol lowed and was mot with several salutes of applause. Ho was announced by Patsy Fallen and that brought out an other selvo. Jack asked tlio indulgence of the audience because of hi.s recent re tirement , and the audience by its ap plause bhowcd it was willing to grant the request. Ho wore pink shapes , a light gau/u shirt and purple stockings. First round Clew stripped magnifi cently , displaying a height and reach , physic.illy , beyond that of Ilanloy. He was loss supple than the latter , and seemed slightly taken aback at the hit ter's agility. Cautious , yet sparring with smiles was indulged in. Clew endeavor ing to reach Hanley's check with his long blows. Ho succeeded in Ins aim on sev eral occasions , but never without being warmly romenibnrod by Ilanloy in just about the same fashion. In accomplish ing this , llaiiloy frequently had to jump upward to get in between or break down the other's guard.1 ISoforo the close of the round , Clww , wnj. neatly reached across both face tinxl nose.

Tlio amhenco Ijkcd the sound of 'tho gloves , and the fighters liked it also , because neither was in the slightestannpyed by it. Third roumiT-Ilaiiloy seemed to bo most active in the lead. Clew , while not afraid , moved 6uitibtisly , sometimes tret- ting Himley's ronoli',1 nnd leaving him to saw and punch tno air. When thoj * cttmo near enough to exchange courtesies , Hanloy did more than his share of the glory. Foiuth round Both still smiled , but they wont in to wind up. And they did it in magnificent style. The face and neck of each warmed , and at ono time several of Ilanloy's beauties seemed to crawl lightly in upon the Colo- radaus peepers , but before the latter could be ofl'cotod time was called anil the audience gave ono wild yell of approval and the entertainment was over. It was ono of the most orderly , satis factory and best conducted entertain ments of the kind over given in Omaha. Jack Hanley has lost none of his skill or agility during his imprisonment. SHOT IN THK BACK. A "f njo" ( Fruit Dealer Shoots n Boy In the Hack. Last night about 0 o'clock a shooting afl'ray took plr.ce on Tenth street near the Union Pacific ciossiug. Frank Parsell , a boy about toiirtecn yours of age , was the victim , ami his assailant was an Italian fruit vendor known as. "Dago , " who keeps a stand on tlieJTenth street front of Dowov < Ji Stono's furniture ware- hoii- > . Tlio facts of tlio afl'air are meagre , but as nearly as may bo learned they go to show , that , for some Umo back , a crowd of young roughs , who infest the locality mentioned , huvo been a fiourco of annoyance to the fruit- vendor. It is claimed that they have persecuted him witli rocks , insulted him with impunity and repeatedly stolen the fruit from his display. Last evening , it is reported , the "Dago" said to a friend of his : "If anything happens to-night , yon must take charge of my stand as soon a.s it is over. " This friend complied with the request , and with the "Dago's" mother , closed the stand and ran awav m loss than a do/.on minutes after tlio shooting. As ft cause f6r the shooting , H seems the young roughs men- ttont'd nt the hour noted , began their usual annoyance and depredation , ono young fellow , with a half-sightless eye , being the leader. The "Dago , " it m claimed , warned him nnd the otliors oil1 , but without effect , when the Italian drew his revolver and shot , intending to lilt the half-eyed youngster. known to his chums as "rats. " The ball , however , struck Parsoll in the back , under the right xhouldor blatln and then passing around to ( lie right and in all probability lodging In the lung on that side , The lad wnb carrieti to Bell's drug store , and subsequently to St. Joseph's ' hospital. Dr. Dnrrow , who was called to attend the Victim , probed the wound for a distance of about four Inches , lint 'without ' finding the bullet , IIH ! impression being such as is outlined abovot 'i'ho ' doctor considers the wound a dangerous ono , though it may not result fatally at the present timo.
