WABIU.VOTO.V , May 23. [ Special Telegram
to tlio BBK. I Senator Van Wjck to-day ad-
dicsscd a letter to Secretary Lamar of which
the following Is a copy , which will bo road
with interest by thu people throughout the
northwest :
"To the Honorable Secretary of the In
terior The supreme court of the United
States , by a most favorable construction of
laiiguavo and Ingenious suppositions , man-
aired to give over 1,000,000 acres of land to
thu Burlington & Missouri Itlver In Ne
braska. Congress supposed It was making
the usual donation In twenty-mile sections ,
nnd when tlio railroad company , on com
pleting this road west of the MNsourl river.
r round that the land contiguous to tlie road
for a few sections west was already pur
chased or homcstcadcd. It asked the court to
decide that they should ho allowed to take
land In other sections of the state.
In this same decision thu court , not Im
agining that it could ever injure a railroad
company , actually decided that while the
company miuht supplement the act ol
congress , by taklnit land In othei
sections of the state , thev were required to
take one-half of this land noith of their track
and one-half south. Not in the habit ol
yielding to the acts of congress or to the de
cisions of the supreme court , where their in <
tcrcstH were antagonized , this company HO-
lected a larger portinn ot their land on the
north than on thu south side of their track
and rosined over the entire state from the
Kansas to the Dakota lino. Many citizens
of Nebraska have been embarrassed and de
layed In securing land on the ground thai
this defiant corporation has selected and Is
claiming the land oven under , former admin
Istratlons. The commissioner of the gen *
era ! land office held that selections made on
the north side of tlio track by tlio company ,
in excess of one-half given by the act of congress
gross nnd the decision of the supreme court
should be cancelled , which was referred tc
the then secretary of the Interior.
The case of K. L. Homenway , of Antelope
county , Nebraska , and others , have bem :
continued under your administration , am
an Inquiry to the laud dppaitment In tlia
case received an answer , dated May 15 , 1837
that the question had not yet boon disposed
of by the secretary of the Interior. Mr
Uomonway and many others have been do
laved for live and six years.
May I nsk that you will give the mattci
such attention as will compel the B. & M
railway to obey the decision of thesupromi
court , which they secured ; also , the nilingo
the land department since lbS4 , and thereb ;
procure justice to deserving citizens. Yours
etc. , c. H. VAN WYOK.

Important Patent Decision.
WASHINGTON , May 23. In the supreme
court to-day a decision was announced In tin
case of Harris Eames against W. D.Andrew
and others. This relates to the validity o
what Is known as the "drive well patent. '
The Importance of this litigation Is showi
by the fact that the number of driven well
In the United States Is between 500,000 ane
1,000,000. The court holds that the Inventloi
had not been anticipated by others and tha
there Is a clear case of Infrlngment Thi
validity of reissued patent No 4,373 , Issuee
to Nelson W. Green , Is therefore stistalnei
and the decree of the clfcuit court , district o
Connecticut ! , atllrnied.
In another case , an appeal from the Unltei
States court , northern district of Ohio , tin
validity of the same patent Is sustained. Thi
effect of these decisions Is to render al
users of driven wells not authorized undei
the Green patent , liable for damage for in
fringeuient. _

time plaintiff tirc-omutud and settled upon

. O'llIlltiN AT HAMILTON.
An Orange Mob Shoots at III * Car
riage The Driver Wounded.
HAMILTON , Ont. , May 23. O'Brien met
with a reception hero which threw every
thing that has occurred up to the present
tlmo in the shade. As ho was helped out ot
the car his eyes rested upon a vast body of
stalwart men packed so closely together that
a passage could not bo made for some min
utes. In vain did Kllbrldo and other
friends beseech the thronging thousands to
make way nnd stop shaking hands with
O'Brien. Thunderous cheers and cheers ,
louder and louder , went up , and
the crowd , waving sticks over
their heads , pressed In upon O'Brien
until ho was forced to Interpose an objection.
After having had his arm nearly shaken off
O'Brien managed to reach the carriage In
waiting for him. Presently a squadron of
women overpowered the men and another
demonstration followed. Finally the pro
cession of carriages moved and pro
ceeded to the Jtoyal hotel , saluted
with cheers along the whole route. A
meeting was held at S o'clock In the Palace
rink , about half a mlle from the hotel. The
rink , which Is capable of holding 2,000 people
ple , was tilled. O'Brien begged the Indulg
ence of the audience , on account of his con
dition , and proceeded to speak with such
force as ho had , covaring in the
main the same grouucl which ho has
heretofore covered In his speeches.
After O'Brien sat down the chairman read a
cablegram of sympathy from his colleagues
In parliament. Several Englishmen and ono
Orangeman made speeches , after which a
resolution condemning Lansdowne was
passed. While Kilbriele was speaking O'Brien
left the platform In response to a request
made to him by a man who had appeared rrom
the rear. It was ttio Idea of some olllclous
person to save O'Brien from annoyance. The
plan was to leave the rink by a narrow alley ,
jump into a carriage In watting on McNab
street and drive to the hotel. It was the lirst
tlmo during the tour that O'Brien did not go
out the regular way. and the plan well nlirh
cost him his life. In the covered carriage ,
besides O'Brien , were MuMahon and Hoche ,
of the local branch of the National
leaeuc , and Dennis Kllbrlde. On the driver's
seat were John Nelson and T. P. O'Brien.
As the carriage faced about for the hotel a
hostile crowd suddenly appeared , there was
a report , the reins dropped out of John
Nelson's hands , and with the exclamation
"O my God , I'm shot , " he fell foward on the
seat. Eight more shots were fired without
doing any harm , when T. B. O'Brlon suc
ceeded In securing the reins and laslied the
horses through the crowd to the hotel.
Here was another hostile crowd , who
hooted and shouted. McMahon held
the crew at bay with a drawn revolver , while
William O'Brien and friends made their \vaj
Into the hotel followed by a volley of rotten
eggs. The chief of police and Ills men no\\
rushed up alter all was ove-r. Nelson's
wound Is in the left wrist and the doctoi
considers itdangerous. No anests were made ,
Manv express the opinion that the would-be
assassins came from Toronto , but no evidence
denco Is offered In proof of this. As this dls
patch is being written there is a great deal ol
excitement In tlio street. O'Brien returns tc
Niagara to-morrow aud goes to Montreal
Thursday. _

meeting of representatives of various Irish

O'Brien as a protest against the attacks upon
him at Toronto and Kingston. Thn demon'
stration will take the form of a torcbllghl
processiona monster mass meeting and open
air addresses In Chaboylez Square.
OTTAWA May 23. Lansdowno's demon
stration and reception next Thursday prom
ises to be a lizzie. Funds come in slow ! }
and the enthusiasm Is dying out : twenty
seven only of 200 horsemen required for the
escort have so far been registered. Tno people
ple resent the activity of the Orange body Ir
connection with this matter and hold alool
accordingly. O'Brien's speeches have les
soned the estimation In which Lord Laus-
elowne is held. A monster excursion at sucl :
low rates , which must take hundreds of people
ple , has been arranged from hero to Montreal
so as to lessen the Lansdowne crowd.

Sioux CITY , la. , May 23. [ Special Tele
gram to the Bin : . ] Yesterday Sheriff Kittle ,
of Monona county , arrived In the city. He
was In search of William Cole and the seven
teen-year-old daughter of Postmaster Under
bill , of Onawa , who loft that town very sud
denly on Saturday. Thn facts , as given by
the officer , are about as follows : For some
time Cole and Miss Underbill have been on
quite Intimate terms , and their actions have
been the basis of much talk. It Is haidly a
year ago since Cole married a good and beau
tiful girl , but his love for her departed and
his devotion to Miss Uhderhlll became ardent
and constant. On Friday Cole came to
Sioux City to visit irlonds , and then
It was arranged by Cole and Miss Underbill
that they leave Onawa , and Saturday night
they boarded the St. Paul train , having pur
chased tickets for that place. It Is not prob
able , however , that they went to St. Paul.
It Is also stated that Cole took with him sev
eral hundred dollars ot James K. Booge's
money , ho and his brother being purchasing
audits at Onawa for Mr. Booe. Up to the
present nothing as to the whereabouts of the
fleeing parties has been learned.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Sioux CITY , la. , May 23. [ Special Tele
gram to the BKE.J The iacts In an elope
ment case of a somewhat sensational nature.
In which Sioux City and Onawa parties are
interested , are made nubile to-day : Several
years ago William Cole , whoso parents reside
in thlsclty.metayoung lady at Fort Atkinson ,
WIs. , of great personal charms and beauty
and subsequently married her. Cole being
employed at Onawa , took his bride to that
place almost Immediately afterward. Hemet
met at that place Miss Sadie Underbill ,
daughter of the postmaster of Onawa , and
became Infatuated. The attachment seemed
to be mutual and Cole soon showed evidence
of faithlessness to , bls wile. The two fre
quently met and the affair soon grew Into a
scandal. Mrs. Cole frequently remonstrated
with her husband , but he always protested
innocence. About two weeks ago Mrs. Cole
received from her parents a draft for 81,000
which she turned over to her husband. With
tills handsome sum of money in his pos
session , it is presumed that Cole
and his paramour decided to leave
the country and revel unmolested
their unholy lovo. Last Saturday morning
Cole sent his wife to her parents In this city ,
ostensibly on a short visit , saying that he
would follow the same evening. He accom
panied her as tar as Whiting. Procuring a
team and carriage he drove to Onawa , where
Sadie awaited him , and together they re
turned to Whiting and took the train bound
north. The aflair soon became known in
Onawa , and the lirst Intimation of it came to
the deserted wife yesterday morning by a
telephone message. Mrs. Cole declared that
Sadie Underbill had repeatedly said that she
would bieak up her borne and ner folks were
In league with her. Mrs. Cole Is lett without
any money whatever , and Is staying with
Cole's folks , who deeply . .regret the affair.
Cole is about twonta-hve years ot age , and
tor some time has bean agent for the Booge
Packing company , of Sioux City , purchasing
and shipping hogs. It is reported that be
sides the money taken from his wile he la
short some SOW in his accounts with his em
ployers. _ _ _ _

Destructive Hall fit Franklin.
FJIANKLIN , N > b. , May 23 , [ Special to the
BKK.I One of the most tcrrltlc hall storms
that ever visited this region passed ever
hero yesterday about 8 o'clock. Hall stones
about one Inch In diameter fell during a tre
mendous gale and covered the ground to a
depth of two Inches. All crowing crops
were completely driven into the ground
and stock were hit until they were
all bruised and bleeding. Several head of
cattle and horses are known to have been
driven Into wire fences and terribly mangled ,
If It reached all over the country as bad as
in this section , the amount of damage must
be very great. All public and private build-
ines had their windows completely riddled
on the north and many glasses broken on
the east Shutters and wire screens were
driven in and houses were Hooded with
water. The damage to the academy buildIngs -
Ings alone Is estimated at above 52UO. The
churches and public school buildings are also
badly damaged. A cloud seems to have
burst north ot town and the streets and all
low ground were covered with rushing tor
rents of water and dry creeks were deep
enouch to swim a horse. Nothing Into It was
over known even by the oldest inhabitants.
Wo shall await the reports of other points
with great Interest , as reports from a mile
and a half east of town say that the hall cov
ered the ground six Inches deep or more.

In That City.
CHICAGO , May 23. [ Special Telegram to
the UKK.I Tlio Armory pollco coutt was
never so crowded as this morning , when
were called the names of the sixty-four iln-
nerscaught In the pollen laid on the Walton
hotel last night. This quiet resort on Wash
ington street , near Wabash avenue , had been
long suspected of having little legitimate
business , but the extent and character of Its
custom was a surprise to all but the pollco on
that beat. The Armory audlenco was largely
made up of n class supposed to sympathize
with such misfortunes , though not a fofr ot
the vnlled ladles In the crowd wore said to
have been wives whoso husbands were "de
tained at the office , " at the tlmo the raid was
made. An hour before the session crowds
beean to arrive and take possession of the
seating accommodations and spaiso standing
room of the court chamber. When the ca
pacity was exhausted hero the crowds poured
Into the waiting looms , the smaller court and
the muster room. The assembhuo cast an
eager eye about for the victims. In this ex
pectation , howevei , tlio visitors were
doomed to disappointment , and only fifteen
of the "Inmates" made an aupearatico.
Of these only live were females ,
and they entered the dock Impenetrably
veiled. The remaining half hundred guard
edly stayed away , and either forfeited tlu-lr
cash deposits ot S75 , or , if represented by
counsel , submitted to the general lino. With
the exception of four persons ( two "couples" )
those present weio lined 10 , which they
paid without adoandstr.iightway fled. While
talso names weio given in nearly every case ,
the Identity of a number of couplns was
known to the police and reporters , but as no
good could result from a necessarily partial
revelation , they were not divulged. Ono
well known man deposited $25 for his own
wife's release , having been sent for by her.
She was closely veiled and but for the visit
of her husband would not have been Identi
fied. They departed together , her compan
ion having deserted her at her own demand
when the raid was made. One west side
father did have to rescue his supposedly Inno
cent ( laughter from the lockup. The great
majority of tlio women are respectable In so
tar that they live a lilo of false pretense , and
if the story don't leak out in their neighbor
hoods they wont suffer much.

bo thought desirable.
Alarum , nationalist , moved an additional
proviso to the effect that while eases of boy
cotting and other minor offenses may be tried

was negatived 217 to 210.

Mackoy can do will be shown In a very few
days. The Omaha club Is the equal of any
team In tholeaisuo outside of the pltcher'rf
box , and every elfort Is being made to
stiengthcn the club In that place. The trouble
In doing so lies In the fact that so many good
pitchers have been knocked out by the new
rules that all of the good material Is monopo
lized by the leittruo teams that can afford to
