nm * 111(1 II wj THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : MONDAY , APRIL 9 , 1888. m IT IS SATAN'S BEST SEASON , Omaha at Midnight , As Soon By Bov. O. W. Savidgo. THE CARNIVAL OF THE DEVIL. Crlino nnil Petmuclicry Hold Kcvcl IVhlld Honest Folks Sleep Tlio N'lght Tellers Tlio I'renclirr'fl Hcincdy. AVlmt of the NlRlit ? Tlio Scward street M. E. church was crowded to Its fullest capacity last evening vby people anxious to hoar what Hov. C. W. Savidgo had to say nbout "Omaha nt Mid night , " nnd the discourse throughout was ILstoned to with the closest attention. The reverend gentleman took for his text , "It U vatn for you to sit up late , " and spoke a * follows : Our subject this evening Is "Omaha at Midnight. " If you should go to see a great picture you would view it from different po sitions. If you would know a man you must incut him nt different times and under various circumstances. And If you would really know this city you must walk her streets both by day nud night , visiting her homes of thrift and virtue as well as looking Into her dark place of vice and or crime. When the ministry and the church actually start out to make n raid on tlio Devil's works tlicro will bo some night work douo In places whore Satan holds high .carnival. There are n great many people In this city who resemble the owl. They are not very ' wide-awake nil day , but they do their best during thu night. Many are not very pro- Bcutablo during the day , but they put on their best clothes when the lamps arc lighted. And this speaks volume ? as to character. Tell mo where n man Is at night and I will toll you what kind of n man ho is. Lately. I have taken steps to find out what the people uro doing at night. And I am . ycry glad to say that a large number or the brat people arc iislecp nt night. I am heartily glad of It , f6r there Is no business on earth that pays ns well as sleep between the hours ol 10 at night and 0 in the morning. II It were not n sacrilege wo should tell you how our best homes look at midnight. The mother and father arc sleeping in that room yonder. There is a cradle drawn up close to the bed , and wo hear a ' baby's soft breathing. The mother's hand touches the child. And Just there nro two children in the trundle bed. OuooC them moves ns wo look and Involun tarily wo say , "Hush my dear , lie still und Rlumbcr , holy angels guard thy bed. " We .turn away repeating the words. "For so ho piveth his beloved sleep. " Tlio licad of this house we have described says : "Tho most delightful spot on earth to mo Is my own home. " Ho belongs to a secret society that holds late sessions-but ho says , "Gentlemen you need not look for me very often for my family surpasses any secret society in the world. " Accordingly ho spends n happy evening at homo and then ho lies down and Bleeps the sleep of the Just. Wo look into the room of a young man whom wo know well. Ho worked hard all day yesterday. Ho listened to a lecture in the evening ; but 10 o'clock found him In his room. He sits down nnd thinks a moment of how ho has spent the day. Then ho reads a few verses out of his bible and kneels down nnd asks God to bless nnd keep him , and at IS o'clock ho is sleeping ns sweetly us that llttlo bubo we saw only a few moments ago. In the morning that young fellow will bo ready for whatever comes to hand In the way of work. Again I have found out that a great many men do useful , not to say necessary , work at night. While wo bleep hundreds of men are toiling for our comfort and improvement. \Vo visit the men who make our great dally papers. In our city thirty men work 'at ' night as reporters and editors. Hero sits sin editor at his table who has worked nt night for eighteen years. Ho has only gone to church twice with his wife In that tune. Ho has a great deal of patience. Old cranks como in and blow him up , but ho is very calm and treats the crank nicely we wonder almost how ho docs it. Somehow wo think ho must hava religion and don't know It. The reporters wo meet at night are gcntlemenly nnd full of business. At 13 o'clock n grc.it flro breaks out or something of importance occurs In u distant part of the city , nnd away thcso men fly , and in an Incredible shot t time the news Is in print. We go up stairs nnd seu the printer nt work. Ono hundred men in this city sot typo at night. There nro some good men among them , but many of them nro wicked. Often they leave their work at 3 o'clock in the morning nnd they 'enter an all night saloon and drink. But who of us have oven spoken to thcso boys nbout fchelr souls I I never appreciated my morning paper till I saw all thcso men at work at night. Ho is an ungrateful wretch who growls about paying 15 couts per week for the pnpor * which bus cost the night worker HO much. Wo look in on the telegraph men. Sovon- ty-flvo of them are at work bending the news by electricity to stations far and near. They toll us the night work is a fearful drain on the whojo man and that the tendency is to break down the physical nnd tlio moral self. The bakers work till the early morning preparing the light fresh bread for hundreds 'of ' tables. Wo meet the policeman walking his beat , and are told that every hour lie roportu to headquarters that ho is attending to his work. All over the city there nro scores of me chanics who. work till the red dawn lights up tlio earth. All Uonor to the men who toil ut night. lint I toll you plainly that the great ma il Jority of the pcoplo who nro out at midnight f pro.raising the devil. I am told that iho dogs nnd cats Bleep In the early part , of the even- Inir , but about the middle of the night they Blurt out for a general Jamboree. Lurgo numbers pf people in this town do the same tiling , ' -And the animals I have mentioned tire about ull they nro fitted to associate with. Won go out to dissipate. They go into all kinds df wickedness under the cover of night , I know now what the Bible means whrn it nays'"Thoy : that nro drunken are drunkc.nin the night. " Some of the saloons are closed at 13 o'clock , but n prc.it many of them nro open. Let nio give you ono example Jhat you nro familiar with. The wellrknown wino rooms on Douplns Street , nro wide open all night long. All the rooms are full , and men and women eurso and swear because they nro crowded out. At thcso. places men drink ut midnight till they can hold no more , and then , in a beastly state of iutovlrutloii , they nro sent homo to mothororwlfo. AI ) kinds of wickedness .go on in thqso tv.Ino rooms , Hero you meet mon old in slu ns well as men and women in the mornlrtnr of life. All uruoii the downward rood with awful velocity. AtlSo'clock tbo lights are burning brightly In the house of the lost woman. Men are coming nnd goiug in droves. As late as 3 o'clock in the morning she waits on the btreot for the man who has worked till that hour , If Christian people were as full of schemes and energy us thli woman is , many a soul would bo rescued. At midnight most of God's iwoplo are asleep , but the devil's crowd1 have both eyes open. At thbi hour the gambler is still robbing his victim , Now ho bus several little doors between - tweon him and the pollco and ho has u man to watch the coming of that nnicl.il. And so ho gets along without much difficulty. Mon do the meanest things at night. Read Matthew xviii:25. The greatest crimes are committed nt night. Sco John xviiltf. At this liour Judas betrayed Jesus. These tragedies nro still being enacted in our city. You speak back nnd ask IBO what I am gclnif to do about thcso things. I would say to the people who nro in bed the very words that Jctms spoke In the long ago , "Sleep on ow and tatao your rest. " And to the men who are doing useful work 1 would say , work at night If you must , but let it be a b&vo-to * cai > o. And when wo Christian people got the kind of religion that wo ought to have wo ' will go in n body to the managers of our „ newspapers nnd beg them to have no Monday morning edition. Then the city editors and reporters nnd printers could rest at homo on .Sabbath nnd ou Sabbath evening , they could attend divine service. The Monday paper is the ono that compels men to break the Sab- r b.athday , Hut to the pcoplo who arc out-racing the } HHVil I bnvo nothing to say. There 1 $ not uiuch use wasting words du then at pre tnt. What that crowd needs Is the cnforccrrtcntof law. "A whip for the horse , n bridle for the ass nnd n rod for the fool's backt" What wo need now In this town In my Judgment is women to control the affairs of the city. Both the old parties have tried it and to-night thlngsaro ntii fearful pass. Our ofllcials have sworn to enforce the laws. Hut you po out nt night and see whether they have kept their word. Ills a pliable farce they nro playing. There are plenty of old women who could enforces .the laws nnd who would do It. For God's sake let us give them a trial , A Petty About n o'clock Sunday morning a burglar broke Into the boarding bouse managed by Mrs. Marks at 1303 Capitol tivcnuo nnd se cured a pocket book containing 3 or (4 belonging longing to the cook. By means of n ladder ho climbed to n shed from which ho entered the room through n window. While rum maging for valuables ho aroused ono of the waiter girls. With aRcrics of screams she sprang oVer the headboard and landed on the head of another girl who was sleeping In nn ndjnccnt bed. This created n general hubbub , during which the burglar departed- , scattering the contents of a valise over the floor in his haste. The girl who was so badly frightened thinks the intruder was n negro. In searching for plunder ho came close to her bed. She thought It was ono of the other girls and put out her hand nnd felt his woolly head , which caused her to perform the gymnastic feat mentioned. lioUbcd n Sleeping Passenger. Mr. nnd Mrs. George Manning , of Texas , stopped at tno B , & M. depot n few hours yesterday between trains. Mr. Manning at tempted to while away part of his time by a stroll ut > street , and Mrs. Manning mean while fell asleep. On awakening she found that some thief had stolen her satchel. She gnvo u description of the missing article to Ofllcor Graves , and Inside of nn hour ho spied n fellow sneaking up street with the stolen property.

Billy Woods , the would-be murderer of his fnthcr-In-lnw , James Kerns , is still at large , nnd has bafllcd all efforts of the police to find him. A number of the neighbors say that at the time of the shooting Woods was accom panied by J. Davis , The police hunted Davis up yesterday and decided it was best to lock him up for future reference. Ho was there fore given a cell nt the c'cntral station. Threatened to Kill His Wife. J.

The J'lnyhiK of tlio Ixjcnl Tenm Btcntly nnd Itcllalilc-A. Fight on tlio Quiet Denver's AVnlk. fiitndny'n Hall Gnmc. There was a tremendous crowd nt the ball park yesterday afternoon to witness the second game between the Oinahas nnd Du- huqucs , All the stands were literally jammed with eager , enthusiastic humanity , while the open space In front of the scats to the left mid right swarmed with pcoplo , nnd the carriage-ways were occupied to almost their fullest capacity. In fnct , it was such n crowd ns was not aeon upon any ono occasion during the whole of last season , and 9,000 souls is not nn exaggerated estimate of the numerical strength. Ono of the happy features of the day , too , was the turn out of the fair sex , whoso sparkling eyes , beaming faces and gny apparel was to ho scon every where throughout the vast throng. But the game. Of course it was Interesting nnd en joyable , from the simple fact that trio Onialms again won , and in the parlance of the turf "with hands down. It was in nowise a thrilling or brilliant contest , as the local team had everything their own way from the start , and the lop- sidcdncss of the score assumed nt the outset utterly robbed it of every clement of excite ment. Ono more thing tended to mar the fulness of the occasion , and that was the dis orderly enthusiasm of a gang of young hood lums who were unwisely admitted at the big gates shortly after the struggle pardon the expression bognn. They absolutely over ran everything and became so offensively demonstrative that all interest in the exhibi tion to many was quickly dissipated. To'lho discredit oMhe management there were no police regulations whatever , and the juvenile friends had in the ix > tcnt language of the day n picnic. The playing of the Omuhas was again of that steady , rcllablo character that the true lover of the sport so delights to see , but there was llttlo If any improvement In the maneuvers of the Dubuqucs , except in the work of the pitcher , who was only hit safe eight tlmos. lloth sides made dou bio ploys , the Dubuques ono nnd the Omahas two. Lovett , the homo pitcher , showed all the signs of the great t wirier ho Is , nnd that too , without the slight est visible effort. Ho was hit for two two buggers and four singles , but dispito the frantic efforts of the visitors , they could not manage to get a run across the plate. The splendid team work of the Omahas was too much for them. Wilson caught n clover game , while the whole infield was a veritable stone wall. Joe Wash , who played right field , did not do himself credit , but it should bo remembered ho is wholly without practice , and the best of them have their oft days. Ho will improve. The same two clubs play again this afternoon , when the local battery will bo Cassmn and Mcssett. OMAHA. Jin. u. u. BII. ro. A , . B. Burns.

Curtis Is the stronger of the two but Needhnm showed the most science nnd kept his head. Ho fought nicely and hud something the advantage nt the end of the first rotryj. After Ncedham had pun ished him considerably in the second , Curtis gave his antagonist the right n couple of times.

Frank Hiscook is the young est presidential candidate of the somite. Ho was fifty-four last September. In- galls comes next to htm ut fifty-iivoand the youngest republican spoken of for the presidency is not in the senate , hut is acting as an insurance lawyer at Chi cago. Ilis name is Robert T.

Yesterday afternoon a LJnn reporter started out to nsceilnln how nnd by whom the Pink- crton nion now on duty nt the 11 , ft M. depot nnd 13. & M. freight yards luul boon ni > pointed. Mayor Brontch wni first scon nnd Hinted that the specials had boon appointed by the board ol llro.nud pollco commission- crs. crs.Tho reporter no.it mot , Mr. George I. Gil bert , n inembor of the commission. The lat ter admitted tlmt the mon now on duty in the plnco designated , or a number of thorn nt least , had boon appointed by the commission. The request to npi > olnt thorn had como from Mr. Holdrogo , the general manager of the II. ft M. The eommisslonorfl did not know the appointees were Pinkerton mon. They might have known , though the question was not settled as to the Identity of the mon and had been , In fact , referred to but in u casual manner. "Do you xmdcrstand , " asked the reporter , "tlmt the flro nnd police commissioners have authority to appoint special policemen ? " "I do. It niny DO found in , I think , either section 145,1M or 147. I could not think of the exact oneyn few nights ngo. and I looked n great deal for the section I wanted when conversing on the iiubjcct with the mayor. I have since found It , though boforothnt , I had been looking at section 1K4. " "Does Mot the authority to appoint special policemen rest with the mayor mid require the consent of the council. " "That was the clause in the old charter. Hut it could never bo mndo practical in emergencies. IJeforo the council could bo summoned in a case of emergency , n great deal of injury might bo accomplished. A week ago to-day an emergency arose mid the mayor himself appointed several special po- llcomcn and when wo met in the evening , wo ratified the appointments. " "If you had known that the specials , or some of them , who you appointed , were Pinkerton men. "would you have favored commissioning them ? " "I certainly would. " "Is there nothing in the charter which re quires that a special policeman shall bo a citizen of Omahul" "No , there is nothing of the kind. " "Was the mayor present when these mon were appointed ! " "Yes. I think he was present at all the meetings. " "Do you roraembor the nights on which thcso men were appointed ! " "I am not entirely reliable as to dates , but it was several weeks ago. " "How many specials were appointed ) " "I think about ten. " "At whoso expense ! " "At the expense of the 13. & M. rdad. That simply sent in a request , the same as Mr. Paxton would if ho wanted a man to watch his building or thu merchants nroilnd hero desired a special to watch their block. T tell you that those men in thoirbluo coats have more effect , and you'll admit it , than u man who is residing hero and who has on his breast only a naked star.1 ' snr.uiFT coiiuux. It had been announced that some of the Pinkerton men at the depot had boon com missioned us deputy sheriffs. The reporter saw Sheriff Coburn and asked If such were the case and how many had been so commissioned. Ho replied that it was and thut thu number of his deputies was about eight or ten. "At whoso request were they appointed 1" 'Mr. ' Holdrego requested their appoint ment. " "Ild you know that they were Pinkerton men ? " "I did not. Since that time nnothorreo.uost has boon made to have more appointed and I have refused to commission them. " ' Wncn these men came hero did they wear blue coats ! " "Well , some of them did , but they ( tlio coats ) looked to mo like those worn by Jim Stonheusou's and Jim McShanc's carriage men. " "Could , you let mo have the names of these whom you deputised as deputy sneriffsi" Mr. Coburn said lia could not just ut that moment. "Did you ask these deputies when they appeared for appointment whether they had resided long enough in the state to become citizens to render them eligible to such of fice ! " "No , I didn't , but I do now , you bet. " "Havo you uuy issued any certificate or stars of authority to these men } " "I have not given them n commission. I had in altogether in my ofllco about eleven or twelve stars , but I think they were all gone befoio these men were appointed' " Mr. Hartman , another member of the flro and bolico commission , was seen at his rcsi- donronnd questioned upon the snbjoct. Ho said tlmt Mayor Broatch had brought the names of thu specials to the meeting of thu commissioners and said that their ap pointment had been requested by Mr. Hold rego. 15ut the men were appointed not as Pinkcrtons. Each name was accompanied by n.bond In $1,000 with G. W. Holdrego as security , "wo appointed nearly ull the men , " continued Mr. Hartman , "except tlioso with regard to whoso bonds thcru was some irregularity. For instance , tlicro was ono man whoso name was spelled differently in the first part and another way in the other part.Vo refused to confirm him until the mutter wus straightened up. " "Do you consider that the commission has the authority to appoint special policemen I" "Certainly. Mr. Gilbert Is a lawyer and ho had looked up the law. I think it reads - this 'The board of something-HUo : flro and police Hhnll h.tvo power , and it shrill bo the duty of said board to appoint u chief of police uiul such other ofllccra mid policeman. ' I know wo looked at it , anyway , and that's about the way I think it road. " "Would you have appointed these specials if j'ou know they were Pinkerton men " "I will Buy I would not. If tlicro Is any money to como out of this , I would favor its going to men who are idle and llvii hcru. I thought when Mr. Holdrego sent in his request - quest that it was for the appointment ns spe cials of switchmen nnd flromen and other employes of the road who know the tracks of the road and whom the company wanted to protect thorn , So far as the legal question in concerned , we're all right , you may bo suro. " s. "Did you commission the specials in writ ing ? " "No , I think wo simply placed them under the orders of the chief of police. " cnne SIUVKY. This gentleman was BOCII by the reporter rind staled that some of the appointments hud taken place while ho w.xsaw'ay. Ho thought , however , that the number of specials who had b6cn sworn in , but some Of whom , however - over , had not been appointed ) was thirty- eight. The list could bo had from the clerk ot the commission. The chief had not Issued orders to the specials. They were under the direction of one of the 11 , & M > men , whom ho , however , commissioned to got mndo fourteen special policemen stars , which ho was to give to thomen npiwinted , hui which were to bo returned after the trouble was over. It was thoio stars which the specials were now wearing. tun rt.RttK. The reporter called upon the clerk of the commission nnd found that the specials had been appointed nt two meetings. At that which occurred on March fi the following , who nro supposed to bo almost entirely test- dents of the city , wore appointed : M. Cnvauaugh , A. McArthur , W. I. , Me- Cowin , Joseph Hell , Denis Lane , John Styles , Gus llurk , John Hcnson , John Linn , Louis Horn , 1) . Mclbnrn , J. 1C. Sawyer , S. M. Smith.

The following list represents n number of men who Were sworn In some time but who hud not been appointed up to last evening , nnd whoso appointment wus to have been considered nt the meeting of the flro nnd police commission last night. What dis position may have been mndo df the names will bo found in another part of this paper : John A. Johnson , Charles 13. Wilson. Henry H. Steinberg , John H. Hawkins. Fred A. Stalling.

It has been understood that there nro In the neighborhood of forty-live Pinkertons on duty in this city. According to Sheriff Co- burn nine or ten of these are acting deputy sheriffs. This would leave thirty-six or thirty-live to bo accounted for as special city policemen. Hut in the nbovo showing not more than twenty-three have been appointed by the commission , which leaves about twenty-two men , who , it appears , must have been acting without even the slim authority which they could receive frgm that body. Tlmt twouty-lwo is probably the list which last night sought for appoint ment. TUB Arl'UCATTOX. The following is the application made by each special , together the pjedgo of Mr. Hoi- dredge : Application for the appointment of a special policeman , to bo employed and paid by n per son , n copartnership , or n body corporate.

It seems that no special bond blank has cx-er been gotten out and. as a consequence , the bonds generally nsod by other city oni- ccrs have been utilized which specify that the olllco shall bo held until the expiration of the fiscal year. Jn some places , this proviso is scratched out , while in others it is retained , thus giving the appointee n longer lease than the bondsman , Mr. Holdridpe , whoso name is attached to every paper , perhaps desires. Tlio " . ' " .TUK'S" Proposed The most recent site proposed for thoclty jail and police court is tlio old headquarters of Anheuser-Busch , in this city. It is situ ated on the southwest corner of Ninth street and Capitol avenue. That lot is Wix 132 feet. On It are the former barns built solidly of brick with six largo stalls each six feet in length and proportionately wide. There is also an excellent complement of racks , bins , boxes nnd other receptacles for food and other patrol horses , while in the second story there is ample room for the stor age of hay , together with a room for the hostler or other attendant. If moru room were required for horses it could bo found on the same floor. There Is also n large wagon shed , strong and substantially built , with an open courtyard of ample dim ensions. South of .the ymd is another solid brick building of two stories and basement. With slight alterations this could bo trans formed into jail , ofllco , assembly room for police , janitor's rooms nnd bath rooms for tlio force. There Is now a bath in the place. There Is little In the surroundings that would bo injured by u police .station , and it is thought that the site would bo sold for a fair market value. The proposllon Is now before the council. The place has been relinquished by Anheuser-Busch , who have Just moved into their new quarters on Jones and Thir teenth streets. iK Pavement. The Colorado sandstone pavement on Jones street in several places between Tenth and Thirteenth streets is bulging up as If caused by swelling peculiar to wood blocks when subjected to heat nnd moisture , or an np- he.wal of the foundation.
