THE OMAHA. DAILY BEEP TUESDAY. MAIIOH 27 , 1888.
Stanford , but for whom or through whom
Jio nets can tidvor bo told from the
ephlnx-llko lobbyist himself. Besides lili
railroad work , IJoyd U employed In forward
ing n number of private bills. His favorite
method of seelna conRrcasmcn Is in their pri
vate rooms nt the hotcli , and ho never In
dulges In any protracted conversation in the
capitol llflclf.
The mnn ivbo lookn nftor the Pennsylvania
railroad's ' interests nt tljo national capital is
Uriah Painter , called among the profession
"Uriah Hoop , " Mr. Pointer wai for years
1 ho Washington correspondent of tbo Phila
delphia Inquirer , and Is oald to own a largo
Interest In that paper at the present tlmo. Ho
Is also the solo proprietor of a telegraph line
running between Ocrmantown mid Philadel
phia and his wealth is estimated at between
$100.000 and 200,000. Mr. Painter Is a very
thickset man of perhaps forty-sevon years of
ngo , with small sldo. whiskersandn face which
jooks hot unlllco that of Ocorgo W
Chllds , the Pbllqdelphlfi philanthropist. Ho
lias the reputation of being the most daring
viro puller in the third house. Every day
finds him regularly at the cnpitol , dodging In
nnd out among the corridors , Insinuating
himself on the iloor bcford the signal for
i. clcfirjnfe it 1 glycii w-UicniqruliiRnndlho
last upon It when the order for adjournment
Is sounded In the afternoon. Ho has n com
fortable lioutp In "Washington but spends
most of his evenings In the hotel corridors
loarniriff the lay of the land nnd making
combinations for future work.
Located In one nf the handsomest apart-
incut houses in Washington , in a suite of
i-ooms luxuriously fnrnlshcd and purrounaed
with the evidences of tnsto and culture ,
lives an ox-iiawspaperman who for years
directed the iroltcy of ono of tHe
largcitt dalles of this country by his
dispatches from the national capital.
His business now Is solely
connected with the church of Zton nt Salt
Lake and his knowledge of men in tUo jour-
nnllstlc profession and of newspaper writers
who mould puuho opinion Is used by him to
advance the interests of the church nnd to
create n sentiment in favor of the admission
of the territory of Utah. During the presi
dential contest of J870 nnd the ensuing Strug-
Klo of the electoral commission ho WOB oho of
the most caustic and vigorous democratic
writers at Washington nnd published what
was considered ft most scathing review of
\vhat ho termed the conspiracy to steal the
presidency , which appeared as the results of
that inqrnuiitous contlict. IIo is a tall , broad-
shouldered and finely formed man of about
forty-five years of ago. Ho does good work
for the interest which ho represents and well
earns his salary of $10,000 a year , if. hard
work and unceasing vigilance can bo taken
Into consideration in such a connection.
Two familiar faces nround the capitol are
Interesting themselves in Pacific railroad
legislation. The first of. these , Littler , of
Illinois , was ono of the PacUlc railway com
missioners who signed the majority report.
Since the opening of congress Mr. Littler
has been a constant visitor to the capitol and
has been assiduous in button-holing repre
sentatives with the avowed object of having
the majority icport sustained. Jl'hero are
these who do not hesitate to say that , In
sptto of the wealth which Mr. Littler ac
quired by inarriago and othenviso , ho is not
nverso to turning nn honest penny in tlio
role of a lobbyist. In fact , Illinois politi
cians consider him a brilliant success in promoting
meting or obstructing legislation , nnd his
Bhrdwd work nt the cnnltol of the Suclton ,
state has given him the requisite experience
for pulling the wires at the national capitol.
f Another attorney who is interested in
Pacific rnihcol legislation is Major Rcdding-
ton who runs a bucket shop on F street near
the treasury , and who claims that ho lost
$40,000 or $50,000 by a deal in Pacific railroad
ptoclfBOino years ago when ho was skinned
by Jay Gould. Ho now thinks there is an
opRortun Ity to get even , nnd is said to bo
employed by various Wall street operators
to manipulate stocks through representations
that ho controls the oftlcinl action of certain
members of the house committee on Pacific
railroads. Reddington was at ono tlmo em
ployed as confidential clerk in the office of
the commissioner of railroads but was dis
missed , us is alleged , for trading in Wall
street upon contraband information obtained
officially from government sources.
All the prominent members of' the third
house which have been noted reside in Wash
ington and make n business of influencing
legislation , but there ore hundreds of others
who flit In nnd put with each succeeding ses
sion and whoso stay at the capital is limited
by circumstances. Advocates of private
land claims , attorneys sent on to influence
single votes in roll calls whore anpropria-
tions for special interests nro coming up , the
politicians of prominence who are supposed
to bo cupablo of directing the judgments of
their political creatures , oven ministers of
the gosppl whoso appeals on the ground of
sympathy nro thought to bo of sufficient in
fluence to pay for the expense of a trip to the
national capital , arrange themselves in line
with the loub'y nt each recurring session nnd
work with energy nud vigor to catry out
their Dchemes.
The female lobbyist , though not as numer
ous as lp the year nftor the war nnd during
the great struggle of the rebellion , are still
foynd-in larpo numbers plying their vocatipu
on Capitol hill. Konq of these , however , nro
connected with ho great coiporatc interests
whoso wealth and standing provide a corps
of advocates of brains in advancing1 their
schemes. The fcmalo lobbyist is gcner.illv
fpund working for special bills and individual
appropriations. Many of them are in re
spectable circumstances In the city nnd ex
tend a generous hospitality to members of
congress in hopes of securing return favors
in too line of votes in the houso. Of the djs-
reputable class , morally speaking , there is , a
yearly decreasing number.
Russian I'otrolaum.
WAMIINOTON , March 50 [ Special to the
Br.E/l A now period of alarm has broken
put at the department of state over
the strides Russian petroleum is taking
in the Russian markets , and the threat it is
making to drlvo out the product of the United
Status. It is found that last year Russia
produced over 000,000,000 gallons of refined
V oil , and that there are no-loss than six tuple
I steamers plying between Baku , where the
oiUs procured , and poits on the Caspian nnd
other seas. Immense reiluories have been
established nt St. Petersburg , Odessa , Mos
cow and other cities , where all grades of
lubricating and illuminating oils nro pro
duced from the crude petroleum. At St.
Petersburg there is _ nn iinmeiiBO refinery ,
which besides making lubricating oils of
various grades. , manufacturer vnseliuo in
quantities sufficient to supply the European ,
occidental and oriental lountiics , To this
refinery goma of the tank steamer-ships rUn ,
but most of the oil is brought overhaul on
tank cars.
The proprietor of this establishment told
nio last summer tlit | ( his oils would noyer
enterlnto , competition with the American
prpduqt us an Illuminator. IIo only aspired
to lubricating oils and vaseline. Ho paid fur-
thqr that thoia need novcr bo anyexcitouiQiit
among the oil producers of the United States
pu { iccounVof thu ol ( wells of Russia , na they
cQuld not compote with this country , because
thoiq WAS not tho'body sqbstanco in ( .he Rus
sian ql | necessary to make a Jliat class Illumi
nating fluid , ,
The Russians have , for pome time , boon
agitating thQ construction of n pipe Hue , b'ut
the consul general reports that no does not
believe tunV it will over amount to anything
further than tqlk , The Him proposed is .to
only Uo tbhty eight inllcs In length and fi'vo
inches In diamqtcr such an enterprise us
would causa not thu slightest hesitancy on
the part of the oil producers of this
country.
Less than 15 per cent of the ontlro produc
tion of ol | fn Russia is expuitcd. Hut the
department of state has made an extensive
investigation of tie | subject with n vlow to
protect American ixitroleum , and seems to
put a great dual of stress upon its discoveries ,
Oil producers of this country need not uxqr-
ciwi themselves ovur a Jotr that tjio country
pf the czar willcivrbringyoo' much trouble
upon thca-t'arough its oil enturpribcs.
Consular Jlnrtmclt's.
WASHINGTON , March 20. [ Si > colal to the
UIB. ; ] The Aincricaii consul at Tangieis ,
Morocco , reports that ho has encountered
great obstructions in the form of proteges at
his consulate. It has boon the pi ac
t-loo of the American consuls , in
nuny of ( ho foreign countries , to grunt fav
ors to Americans nud natives In the way of
ollclal rccognitUm , by which they bocotno
Mv'o-coiiauls or consul generals , and have a
] . .ud at supernumerary supervision over tbo
r iport Undo to this country ,
It was the policy of the present administra
tion ( a making consular changes to weed out
these hangers-on , aud -confine exclusively
to the regularly authorized consuls the work
pf CQUUt rsIralntf invoices uud supervising
the export of m6rpharidlsc , as Well as the
general looking nftdr the interests of Amorl-
cart Itnportft and export ) .
The consul iri Morocco snys that when these
men wefo cut off from their1 connection with
the United States government they became
obstructionists , nnd , as far as possible , im-
pojlcd communication with the Moorish min
ister for foreign Affairs at Tanglors , and other
officers connected with that government. The
Moorish minister enjoys Ihornunlllcor.t salary
of $500 a year , and our consul trloro says that
this officer could not llvo it all the consular
abuses in Morocco were done away with. Ho
has become as much nn obstructionist ns pos
sible , nnd the refusal of our agents to briba
him nnd procure hi * alleged valuable services
has put him Iri n mfff.
The United States government at three-
fourths of the consular stations In the world
has suffered Imihoasply ulurlng the past
twontyycnrs by maintaining lobbyists and
vice consuls , and clerks and messengers
tvho were both d.Ishonost ami unenterprising.
The service has been nt n standstill for a
quarter of-n century , and If the present ad
ministration really intends towccd out thcso
men nnd irifuso now1 blood and American
Ideas in forming our Jntorests In the various
n.trts of ( ho world , it yml ilo A sorvjco , the
benefits /rqni. which \ylll * bo fe.lt more po
tently every year In the fnturp. For n , long
tlmo tho. con.suldr'Bcrvjc'd nVwcll as the diplo
matic service of the American government
has existed onlytin name , and while it has
been ornamental Uio expenditure ol the
money has been wasted slrtco the service
was not useful. _ _

WAsniKOTO.V , March 20.T-Spcclal [ to the
Bnn.J The attention of the postmaster gen
eral lias been called to the statements inailo
in thcso dispatches regarding" n fraud prac

upon it. Jl has' Been n ifractico with a very
largo number of merchants nnd others to

dressed to persons in this country , with a
view to evading the higher rales of postage
applicable to the goods shipped in the do
mestic mails of the United States.
The postmaster general says that the for
warding ol such packages from Canada
being an "obvious error" under the articles

to pay if they weio mailed in this country.

a reporter , as quoted in the Ben dis
patches fast night , to the effect that a news
paper , a cable company , and n woman were
responsible for the instigation of the suit ,
etc. , started all newspapordom to hunting the
woman. It was at once surmised what paper
and company was meant , but the woman
there lay the mystery. Attorneys in the
case for tlio bondholders were of course scon.
They were very reticent at first and professed
entire ignorance. Finally one confessed that
the attorneys had nil along had nn idea who
the woman in the case was , nnd said she was
'
n very prominent soclc'ty lady in this city.
No name was mentioned. It was also reported
ttiat Mayor Hewitt went to the district at
torney jus.t before Gould went to Euiopo nnd
told tlio attorney how things stood ,
and as a result Gould was not kept
from taking the trip. John Shaw ,
president of the Hocking Valley coal com
pany , hail heard of Gould's1 statement and
was anxious for information , "I can't in
terpret it. Tlio newspaper is probably James
Goidon Bennett's and the cable company tlio

She's the mystery. ' , ' Could it bo Mis. Hetty

so. Mis. Green's interests could not run
counter to Mr- Gould hi any way to dcstioy
his equanimity. You-c.m depend on It , how
ever" , concluded Mr. Shaw , "If Mr. Gould
mudo the remark ho know exactly what ho
was Bavingand intended to say it in just that
way. Ho is a man of dollticr.ition and thought
niui never comes toconclusions , hastily. "
George Crouch , who is understood to rep
resent the Dutch bondholders of the Kansas
Pacific , said : "Gould bus givoirus a mystery
this time , I have no Idea to whom ho refers.
Kvoiybody was mystified , but there is n
woman no doubt , or Gould \ \ ould not have said
so explicitly. " Mr. Gould and George Gould
had nothing to say. Some of Gould's Inti

A Prominent PJiyslclnti CImrccd With
n Serious OfTcnso ,
DBNVKU , Cole , March 2(5. ( The all-absorb-
I'lfi topic' harp is tlio prospective fnto of W.
Jamc I. Valkor-who nt present awaits the
verdict of the jury to whonv his good namb
was temporarily Intrusted. His trial is n dt-
reqjt resnlfof n preceding trial whlclioccurrcd
hero last December. The chief participants
were Mrs. Mnglll , jvho at ono time conducted
a den in Chicago , nnd a young bookkeeper
named McKay. They were charged with
conspiring ngalnstMIss JullaBogon , a charm
ing young saleslady In tie | employ of Daniels
& Fisher. After u speedy trial the pair were
convicted.
Ono night In jail sufficed to make Mrs.
Maglll confess , nnd , sending for the district
attorney , she made a remarkable statement ,
exonerating McKay and Implicating Dr.
Walker. The confession wns published by
the Hepubltcan. whereupon Dr. Walker en
tered suit for libel against that paper , claim
ing flOO.OOO damages. The article produced
n genuine sensation , particularly among the
wealthy people , with whom Walker was
closely associated. The doctor is a good
Presbyterian nnd the most prominent homeo
pathic physician in Denver. Ho is a member
of n swell club nnd a great society favorite.
His friends were indignant that such an iin-
innculato character should bo assailed , and
when ho was arrested on an indictment they
flocked to his Rescue. His bondsmen repre
sented fully * % 000,000.
The doctor was subjected to all tlio annoy-
nnco of n criminal trial. After the jury had
deliboratcd for thirty-sis hours they were
unable to , agree and " -ore discharged. Last
week the , second trial was ordered , and it
completely eclipsed the first , teeming with
disgraceful incidents in which the wlln doc
tor had participated. When the defendant
was examined lie became terribly oxcitcd , and
lost his temper. The cnso has now been in
the hands of the Jury for forty-eight hours ,
undid disagreement is confidently expected.
The general impression Is that Walker , and
not McKay , is the guilty man. Walker's '
wife is ono of the most prominent society
women in Denver , nnd is overwhelmed with
disgrace. A divorce suit is expected.
INVENTION.
A Mechanical Dcvloo For the Pre
vention of Railroad Accidents.
LOUISVII.T.I : , March 20. A remarkable and
valuable invention in railroad mechanism
which has recently successfully stood a severe
vere/ practical test of eight month's duration
on tlio Kentucky & Indiana Bridge railroad
was'sold heio yesterday to the American
Semaphore company for 8150,000. , The dc-
vice is an automatic electric block signal , the
rails being used as electrodes. It not only af
fords absolute and unfailing pi o tec t Ion to the
block section , but indicates the presence of a
broken or spread mil , misplaced switch or
obstruction on Uio track within any section.
Au , entirely novel scientific feature is the use
of n chloroform compound , expanding in u
partial Vacuum , from which the power for
moving thq signals Is obtained , the small
electric current being only an aiiMlpiy.
Scientists tand mechanical engineers.
ns well as many prominent railroad
men , pronounce the invention a
mechanical phenomenon , and say
that the wonderful results obtained from its
use will effect a revolution in railroad oper
ations , as it icduces the chances of railroad
accidents to 51 minimum , admitting of the
maximum speed with safety. Now York ,
Pittbburg , Chicago nnd Louisville capital
ists are among the present owners of the device -
vice ,
AJJIANV , N. Y. , March 20. Tlio Central
Vermont railroad lias been recently experi
menting with u device for extinguishing the
lire in a Baker heater in case of accident , nnd
also a contrivance for blowinir out the lights.
They havq moved very effective so fur as
tiled. They depend for their operation on
the auxiliary air chamber under the car. As
soon as the car begins to tip , valves in the air
chamber are opened automatically , and the
air is communicated instantly , in the ono
case , to a machine which forces a chemical
composition into the flro , nnd , in the other ,
to the lights , extinguishing them. The rail-
icad company propose putting the device into
practical use.
ATTEMPTED MURDER.
A Boston Man's Systematic Prcpnrn-
tloiiH For tlio Deed.
BOSTON , March 20. Luther H. Howe , of
this city , owns a small house in Maiden , and
has it advertised for sale. Ho received u let
ter on iTrlduy , ostensibly from u lady , asking
his presence in Maiden to consider a pur
chase. Ho Was asked to meet her at a house
other tljan his own. This houao was uuoccu-
pled , but in it Mr. Uowo found a woman , ap
parently engaged in cleaning. Whllo con
versing with her ho took n scat on the wall ,
und was almost immediately shot at from bo-
hind. Not being crippled by his wound Uowo
rushed out of' Uio house and saw his
brother-in-law , James Cutter , with a gun
over his shoulder , running rapidly away.
Howe reported the case to tlio local police.
and while ho wns in the station a rillo ball
fell dUt-of his coat. The police aio hunting
for Cutter and will doubtless catch him. Tie |
brothora-lH-lawhave had tioublo over money
matters , and it appears that CUttcr hnd laid
a mtmt elaborate plan for the murder. Ho
hired tlio house two days ago nnd cut panels
in the walls for loop holes. The woman who
was in tbo nouse was Ann Nickorson. She
was hired In Boston yesterday to go out and
clean the houso. She stoutly declares her
entire innocence of the attempted murder ,
and the police believe her. Cutter bears a
hard reputation.

that the powers conceded to the unions have
been abused nnd the stipulations broken with
impunity by the men , It protests against the
anarchical tendencies of the leaders of tlio
unions as abhorrent to loyal citizens. Tjio
circular then gives , In cxtcnso , a set of reso

there is no intention to reduce wages or
lengthen the hours of labor. They recognize
the right of labor to combine within the

SEARCHING FOR A DEVIL CHILD.
A Freak of Nnturo That All the Dlnio
MusGttiiiH Want.
CLcyiUAtfn , O , , March 20. Friday a local
paper published n sensational article about a
devil child said to have been born in the Po
lish settlement south of the city. The article
was headed , "Satan Incarnate A Demonia
cal Monstrosity in n Polish Family , " The
infant was described ns red In color , covered
with hair , having incipient horns nnd
tail , and claw-liko hands , und wing ]
like protuberances on the back. The
freak is accounted for by the fact that its
mother was frightened by n stage devil in
olio of. the local theatres and hud to bo car
ried from the houso. The Polack settlement
has been visited.by crowds since the publi
cation of the story , which created a great
local sensation , and every family in the sub
urb in which there has been a recent birth is
suspected of harboring the dbvil. The Po-
hiclts finally selected a Gorman laborer as
the father of the inonstrocity , and last night
a threatening crowd gathered about his house
and had to bo dispersed by the police. The
Polish priesU denies that any such child ex
ists , and no newspaper man has seen it ,
though several local parties claim to have
done so. Detroit , Cleveland and Chicago
dime museums aic hunting for it.

PERILS OF RAILROADING ,
Accident to the Union Pacific Fljcr
Oilier Onnunltlcfi.
The overland flyer duo from the west dolly
ixt 3:55 : p. in. over the Union Pacific railroad
had not reported on schedule time yesterday
and was bulletined ns not being expected
much before midnight. From nil accounts
tim train had an nxelllng voyage , coupled
with wind , sleet and snow nnd other annoy
ances , which culminated at 11)00 ) last night
in a disastrous smashiip at South Onmlia
through the agency of n misplaced
switch , the second experience of the kind
since coming Into Nebraska. A Imlfliour
before the accident nt South Omnlm the
train ran on to an oponswlth ntPapllllon ,
but escaped uninjured.
After the Papllllon escapade the train
again darted on towards Omaha. The engine
was 771 , n now ono that had been on duty
slnco the first of March only , and wiw manned
JiV Paul Gctschaln. engineer , nnd George
Avcoks , fireman. While pulling Into South
Oniahn the engineer failed to notice
that the 8witch was open. The first Itullca-
plon the engineer nnd fireman had of tha mis *
tlncomcnt wns the tremendous swaying of
their engine nnd the mall car. Grasping the
situation the engineer reversed the lover and
ho and the fireman jumpcll , 110116 Vie sooil * o

and Weeks loosened every tooth in his mouth ,
The mall car , which was next , to the ten
der , was badly wrecked , and the chief mnll
clerk , N. B. Woods and his assistants , A. H.
Fuller and A. G. U. Colhoun , had narrow
escapes from being killed outright. They
fortunately escaped with a few bruises.
They speak words ol praise for the brake-
man. Billy Guinano , who assisted them
greatly in a trying moment at his own peril.
Added to their compliments of him are these
of the passengers , none of whom were in
jured , for attentions received nt his hands.
The wreck completely blocked the track ,
and passengers were transferred to the dum
my , which brought them to the Tenth street
depot , together with the registered and other
valuable mail matter. A wrecking crow was
dispatched to the scene of the disaster , nnd It
is expected that the road will bo ready > for
traffic this morning. .
