It Is due to my client to say that this bar was Hilled with hostile uomun. 1 do not cam what urn ) be said in coiitiadltlou ot it. It was tilled v > it h women wlio sat near the jury , wlioby tliclrcountaiKes , Kesturcs and audlblu lantunic , attempted to Inlluenco the jury , e\en coiiimeiitinir on the laiiKiiagu of wit nesses ami the conduct of the case , comment ing on tlio icmarks of counsel with the solo dcslie of intluenuinir that jiiiy. If your honor doubts it , 1 will linni ; alUdavits ot the jurors who heaid tlioso icmaiks , saw these hostile v lances and noticed these Destines. Tlio couits wo are told by the otboi side are to be one n. Docs thot mean that the couits aio to ou ovenim ? .A 10 they to be open to e\eiy one that wishes to come utter tliu com t loom is lull ? It so , there Is no chance tor justice. Your honor knows that whatever judgment Is passed iilion the question It has been decided time and again that the laiiL'tiacc that "the courts aie open" means that suitors , witnesses and tmrtlcs shall have the right to come not that the comts shall be o\eiinn. J ask that your honor , at this early stage , make bomo proper older because 1 know tht wlien such larcu number ot people come that It Is impossible for any sheriff , however nootl lie is , to keep older. 1 do not blame the sherilfor bailiffs or any one for what took place at the last tiial , and 1 ask. at this o.irly stau'o of tlio proceedings , that an order be Issued that no PCI son other than the olliccrs of the court nnd members of the bar having business hero and witnesses who are not only summoned . to attend tlio trial , but who aie to bo called soon or arc actually under examination and the defendant in. the case bo piescut within the bar. Neville I will think the matter over and see what onlets will be proper to make 1 consulted Juilpo Wakeley with icterciico to what we should do at the other trial , what outers should bo made , If any could bo made , and woeamo to the conclusion that we had 110 right to reasonably o.vlmlo anjone who cotilil get Into ( lie binldiiiK to hear the trial , but 1 understand now that jour request Is to exclude 1 1 om the bar. Mr. Savage Yes , your honor , and In addi tion to the audience loom only those shall bo allowed to come who can reasonably be ac commodated , accommodated with seats U bccms to inc.at an > iatcrcasonabo ! accommo dated , and that avenue ; ] of access to this coint loom L > o kept clear. That , ccitalnly , is not an nnieasouable lequcst. I led , at my age , the exceeding dilllcultv of speaking and trying cases In the loul air ot a court loom which Is enough to Mclccn a stronger man than J. I did not getovei it for many weeks utter the last trial and it would bo unsafe lor me , I bay not by wav ot any thieat , but 1 know fiom advice , wlilch I base had fiom professional men , that it would be unsafe lor mo to go through such another ouleal and 1 do not. care to do It. Mr. Thui.ston 1 wish to add a woul. 1 thoiougldy nsri'o with my associate , Judge Kavngo , thattho nmttcr of people attending tilals in couit rooms Is absolutely , necessa rily and eiitliely In the discretion of tlio coint. 1 do not think that pioposition can be questioned by any one. It Is a light that the court , lias to protect the fall ness and im- paitiallty ot its pioceedlngs against the Inva sion or umbody. I wish partlcid.uly to con cur with him In the suggestion and icquest that this Luu be kept free tioin invasion by those who came lieie for the cxpicss imiposo of Intimidating and allcctlng the conduct of the juiois. On the hist dial , against our protest made in tills court room , women who uio well Known to be intensely Interested In hecminj : the conviction ot this defendant. were pet milted to bit so close to membei.sof the juiy that they could easily nave i cached them vvlth outstictchcdarm , and jtnois upon that panel , many of them , have infoimcd me , as I was well satisfied at the time , that these women constantly , fiom day to day , were making , dliectly to the juiom neai tlicmie- marks gieitly picjudlrlal to this defendant , lematksota sluirlng character against the witnesses lor the delense as they testified , disparaging the acts ot counsel , and in eveiy possible way diiectinir to the jurors them- helves all sorts ol smiles , tiouns and expies- BldllH. And theie was so much of lids that some of tliojurois told me that , allhoiigh they en- deavoied to exclude these from their atten tion they could not do it and they were only icstiained from calling the attention of the coint to It at the limn because the persons \\lio weio doing those things were well diessed anil apiwiently well-appearing ladles in thu city ot Omaha. 1 can suppoit it by the aflldavlts ot one-half ot the juiois who baton the panel , and what is tnui ot the women sitting In thu Immediate vicinity ol the jury Is true ot n largo number who were there during the course of the trial. As .soon ns coint adjoin ned , and befoio the jury ro- tlied , the ladles formed a procession and passing aiounil In line , would turn and Mara one at a time upon thu defendant as It lie was some wild beast Inn cage. 1 pay It Is dls nu'eful to the city and to any court of justice. It was a now thing. It was an unexpected thing. Jt was n matter that could not have been anticipated either by counsel or com t. It was a matter coming up in a hinriut way as thu dial progressed. 1 think that we are well aware that none of us weio to blame , that the counsel and the court are to be excused on the lir.it tiial. I think that U is now our duty to urxo more Etiongly than wo did befoie some other con u of procciluie. 1 think , perhaps If wo bad , on the founcr trial , insisted more strongly , the coint would have held with us , luit wo u pro taken , as L suppose the court was , by surprise. These things , by reason of their strangeness , \\eio acquiesced in and buumlttoa to. They grow imm-icoptlhly ; it doomed impossible to stem the ililo after U was once pei milled to How. Hut now , in the cool quietude of tlio east , It bc-ems to me , that n rule can bo adopted and publicly announced that will prevent nnythlnu of this and cer- tpjnly humanity as well as jiutli-o demand that FOiue action of this kind bo tal.cn. JudgoXcvlllo With refeieueo to tills order 1 w 111 take n llttlo tlmo and think this matter over. J must sa > 1 was compelled to examine \\hate\crwasnald luuldnnoun that trial as best 1 couldml ; it ( hero was anything pioju- dlclal 1 did not bee it. t'lieic was a statement nude , to me Hint peihapb 1 liad better caution certain ladies who sat near the jury.

It they saw iinjililnc wrong they should have called my attention to It. ill. Estelle Ou behalf of myself 1 am per pcctly willing that the court should make ionic order as It may seem proper , that so far as the suggestion of the gentlemen nro concerned that neither of them would hiuo ieen more ready to ( all the attention of the court to any Improper conduct In the way of conxcr fttlon in the presence ol tlio Jury , neither one of them would have been mom willing lo call tlio attention of this coint to fnct than 1 would , The court overruled the demurrer offered In .hecase and a recess was taken until "o'clock In the afternoon.

" "What do you understand to be the condition of tlio democratic senatorial struggle in this stiite ? " " 1 do not know. I have taken little in terest in it.

Clark left on the afternoon train for New York , whither lie goes in response lo a telegram from Jay Uotild , to consult with that magnate about the Dolicy ho is lo pursue as the new general manager of tlio Missouri 1'iicilic. Mr. Clark will return to Omaha in about a week , close up ids tillairs hero and leave for St. Louis , where he will assume the duties of his nosilion. The appointment takes ellect at once , and already circulars have been sent out nnnouncing the fact. Everywhere Mr. Clark's appointment is regarded as a lilting tribute to a man of pronounced executive ability , foresight mid sagacity. Mr. Clark's position as president of tiio licit line will probably not bo filled , us that road is now really a part of the Mis- bouri Pacilio system. Speaking of the Holt line yesterday Mr. Claru said : "Yes , it is certain that a sys tem of suburban trains will bo estab lished on tiie Holt rowl. When ? Next spring. As early , possibly , as the mid dle of April. " SUNDAY "CLOSING. U'lint Marshal CuinmlnaH iCns to Say About It. "What do you expect to ito about com pelling the saloons to close their front doors on Sunday ? " was asked of Marshal Ctinimings yesterday. " 1 non't propose to do anything about it , " replied that official. "I can't com pel the saloon men to do anything of the sort. " "Unt the mayor says that you can and he says that he has ordered you to do it. " "I can't help that. The law provides that saloons shall be closed altogether on Sunday. It don't mention any such half way course as the closing of the front doors on that day. If I can get the sup port that I need and must have I can en force the law. Otherwise it is usoje.ss to make any arrests. Let the committee of citi/.cns call on mo and 1 will have a talk with thorn about the matter. I can give them a few points that will open their eyes. " U'Ul He Tried Dug McGuire , who is well known lethe the police as A smooth young thief , and lias already , though loss than twenty-one years old , served a term in tlio pen , is again in j.iil. Last Wednesday ho was released from the county jail , from a twenty-live days' sentence on broad and water. Shortly after that a mysterious saloon robbery occurred , some wines and cigars being taken. A day or two afterwards Mctinirp and another young man were seen trying to dispose of some cigars , anil the supposition is that Mo- ( iinro knows something about tlio rob bery. At any rate on this supposition the police have arrested him. lie is now locked up awaiting a hearing. Police Court. Three persons charged with intoxica tion were brought before his honor this morninc : . Two of them were women , Uotsy llrown , n coloicd damsel , had been on a protracted bprco.

Yesterday morning the jury in Uic case ol Swindler and Wells , the Denver men accused of being implicated in n scheme to defraud the government out ot certain lapds in Nebraska , reported having agreed upon a verdict.

A reporter for the HKvyc : tcsdaymorn- ug onllc'l upon Mr..P. C. lllmcbangh , and liked him what had been the expenses of the Sam Jones revival. "Weil , " he said , "tho expenses have been audited by the ministers of the city , and they have made tip their minds not 10 make the matter public. I feel that tlio public have confidence in the minis ters to feel that every thing has been care fully and satisfactorily attended to by them. The receipts , including the collee- lions at the meetings in the exposition building , tlio subscriptions and every thing else in the way of money raised for the undertaking , amounted to nearly ! f5,000. ! I will say hero that the amount of money given Saiiiiloucs , while smaller than lie iiad over received before from a city of the size of Omiiha 80,000 Inhabit ants was satisfactory to that gentleman , and lie so declared himself before he de parted. " Mr. fllmcbaiigli declined to state what was thu amount paid Mr. Jones. While the receipts wore considered liberal , Mr. Himelmugh said that "If It liad not been for the liberality of the managers of the exposition building , and several other parties , whoso kind ness was appreciated , we would not liavc been able to have made so trooil 11 showing. There was nuito a number : > f those little acts which helped us out nicely. " Mr. Ilimcbaugh reiterated the opinion of Sam .Jones that the increase in the membership of tlio churches would bo iboitl live hundred , while ho felt that 1,000 would be so nll'ected as to become nctivo workers who had heretofore lain liormant. _ SCIIAIiljUlt VH. OMAHA. Another Grnilo Damage Case A A'or- < llet for tlio City. For a number of days past Jiulgo Ne ville and a jury have been engaged in licaring the case of Schaller vs. Omaha , which was an action to recover the bum of $5,000. tlio alleged damages of plaintill' by reason of the grading of California and Twenty-fourth streets. The case was submitted to the jury nt Iho adjournment of court Monday , with instructions to bring in a scaled verdict. A verdict in favor of the city was argued upon by the jury in a few minutes'1 time , and was returned and Hied yesterday morn ng. In view ofltho importance of the case is affecting : * rado damage cases , the result is worthy of something more than pass ing notice. There arc now pending in Lhu district court sqmothine : like one lumdrcd suits , involving grade damages aggiegating upwards of $ ' . ' 00,000. , The ease of Mrs. Schaller , which relates to her property opposite Creigliton col lege , has been regarded as possessing as much or more merit than thu average of cases brought against the city. In view of the outcome in this casej there can belittle little hojc | of recovery in the other actions still pending It is fortunate for the city that our juries are disposed to take a fair and lib eral view of the benefits resulting from the improvements of our streets , which have so largely contribiitc'l to the suc cess of the city. Otherwise the city would be compelled to grade and improve all private property along the line of a graded street , which woulu practically end all improvements of this character.

" ' " ' "lalntgotnuthiii'tosay" wasDaggett's sullen response yesterday when asked by : i HKI : reporter as to whether ho liad. really lircd the Darker block intention ally. It will bo remembered that tlio particulars of Daggott'b second confes sion to the police were printed in the Uii : : yesterday. Yesterday Daggott was very reticent and refuses to talk much about thu matter. It was learned by a rcporlerhowovor , that he made another confession to Jailer McDonald in which he substantiated and repeated the one ho had made to Olllcor Whalen. " 1 fired the Barker block because - cause I wanted to get revenge on the city for that ton days on btxad ami water" ho said to McDonald. " "I'll toll you the wlioln truth if I Imvo to go to the penitentiary. " Both of Dagget's confessions are re ceived with considerable incredulity in many quarters. The impression now seems to prevail that ho is a crank , with a thirst for notoriety and a desire for frco lodging. Thirty days on broad and water might teach him a lesson or two. Daggett announced yesterday that ho would return at once to Chicago wlicni ho has friends. He has been tiirnished with n ticket. KIjMOUIJ'S TALK. U Shown Original Views in Matters of Insanity. In yectcrday'tt paper was published a report of the proceedings at thu meeting held Monday night for tlio purpose of ad vancing the intciests of the national conference of charities and reform. A reporter for the lhi : : hud an interview with Mr. Klmoro , who was one of the leading lights of the meeting. Ho is pro.sldcnt of the state board of charities and re form in Wisconsin , and , while devoted to the amelioration of inmates of all state reformatory or charitable institutions , is especlall/dovotcd to the caring for this insane. He IIH.H been devQtod to tup business for sixteen years , and uuriii" that time lias been a member of thu present board. Ho claims that there are now over 3,000 insane people in his state , or nearly one for every 000 Inhab itants. The cost of providing room foi these bo estimates at between * 1,100 and $100 per capita per y ear , it was this enormous expense , princip ally , which Induced the board to take cognizance of some plan to save money anilint tiio same time , he of inorebenelft to those In need of attention. The county pltin was accordingly hit upon and now a number of counties are taking care of tlutir own insane , and for this receive from thu blato tliu same of 11.50 per capita per week. Under the system In vogue iu tlio larger insauo asylums of thu stale , of which there are now three , it requires one keeper to every friur patients. Under the county system , only sis arc required for 100 inmates. Of these county institutions there are now fourteen in the state and two more are being built. Mr. KImoro was particularly severe itpon HID subject of physicians , bcin < ; iu chargrj ot iimne pcopk1. "It's all rubbish to think that they Know any more about or can t'o ' any more for. insauo pro- | ) lo than ion or I. What insane people require is good food , congenial work , fresh air and regular habits. They will thrho * under it , but physicians have no hand iu tlieir improvement. Thov will live longer because of tins recularity of life than other individuals of the same iiliysical condition. As n consequence , tlio num bers which are being con&huitlj atldcd is largely in excels of those "cured" and , therefore , k"cps the matter of now ac commodation always before the people.
