Ho read n number of chapters from "David Copperflcld , " nnd the famous trial of "Bardell vs. Pickwick. " Mr , Dickens Is not an elocutionist In the sense of tlio term ns it is understood In the present day. In many instances the modern elocutionist is n machine. His greatest power lies In his voice. Ho may thrill you with n whisper , or frighten you in a roar. Mr. Dickens Is not such u render. Thcro is nothing metallic In his voice. It Is soft , nnd Incks resonance , tint It is dominated by nn Intelligence which , llko the eoul , mny illumine n homely fnco. Ho seems to appreciate his shortcomings , nnd his pru dence prevents him from essaying delinea tions beyond his power. As n consequence , there nro none of his sketches. It mnttcrs how little soever they fnll to realize one's Ideal , which do not readily appeal to the warmest kind of appreciation , In "Copper- field" ho wns almost Irresistible , and his pic ture of the shipwreck which made poor Ham n victim to the bntt'lnp ' waves nnd Inld the scoundrel Steorforth dead , llko the nrk upon the sands , was lifo-liko nnd forcible , dcsplto the vocal peculiarities to which reference is nbovo made. In the trial scene Mr. Dickens displayed wonderful versatility , nnd nil of the well-known chnmctors wcro success ively received with laughter nnd applause. Thcro Is nn Ineffable charm about Mr. Dickens both as n gentleman nnd n reader , nnd the longer ho nppcars ( Ji one's presence , the more he is appreciated. At the conclusion of the entertainment ho was tendered a reception by the Omaha Press club In their rooms In the Continental block , and two hours of most social Intimacy and Interchange of thought were experi enced.

There are two sides to every story and the case of Lon George as described in yesterday BEE is no exception to the rule. Yester day Miss Jcsslo Taylor , the divorced wife ot George , called at the BISB office and gave her version of the affutr. Miss Taylor says that four years ago she was married to Lon George in Council Bluffs , the ceremony being performed by Mayor Vaughn. She says that since her marriage to George she has not been in Council Bluffs , and that at no time has any tnovo been made on the part of either herself or George to again take up llfo together. Miss Taylor says that It is true that George is now at the homo of her mother , GOO North Fifteenth street , mid the reason for his being thcro is because ho hud no other place to go to recover Ins lost health. His wants are attended to by her mother and she is not connected in nny manner with his present existence , Miss Taylor says her llttlo boy , of whom Lon George is the father , is cared for by her mother and George has paid the expenses of his keeping. That further than this thcro is no mutual interest between the two. Miss Taylor status that the allegations of "tho weeping wife" in regard to the manner in which her ruin wns accomplished are decid cilly transparent. That instead of George following his present wife she hounded him and persuaded him to marry her. Miss Tay lor , states that atone time iho present Mrs. Lon George was n "boer-jorkor" nt Jack Nugcnt's and will bo i remembered by many of tlio frequenters of thnt resort as "Sudo" Mclntyro. She further says that the pics- cnt Mrs. Lon George is the Alice Clark who a few weeks ago was taken to the station for hurling u rock through one of Hlggins' win dows. If Miss Taylor Is to bo believed the present Mrs. Lon George Is nu opium outer , nn hubltual drunkard and is far from being llko Ciuser's wife. According to her version the idea of Mrs. Lon George uoing "ruined" nt any date in very modern times Is n hugh Joko. To use the expression of Miss Taylor , "tho present Mrs , Lon George Is 1111 old timer whoso vlrtuo departed with her teens , and long before she mot her present hus band. " Viewed from either sldo the entlro tale is ono of such mistiness nnd domestic , unhapplness thnt it is to bo sincerely re gretted that the name of wife or mother must be dragged through Us slums.

Twenty feet further a largo jouldor crashed through the cab window. The oniecrg on board replied with shots and n short fusllndo wad kept up by the marauders and officers. About 7:30 o'clock last night na unknown man threw a switch Just as the II. & M. trnjn was backing out of the yards.

[ Special to the Ben. ] The past three days have been crowded full of accidents and wrecks on the B. & M. system. Friday night six break downs , accidents and collisions occurred , and on Friday two collisions on thq Kansas City road , while Saturday night a collision oc curred at Beatrice between engine 4 , switch ing in the yard , and the Edgar freight , that completely demolished cugino 4 and did other damage to the rolling stock.

Eleven disabled engines are now re ported here , and when tlio last day's disas ters are brought In n ' 'locomotive boncyard" will have to bo established. This Is the work of the "scabs , " about which the Lincoln Journal is so loudly prat ing just now. The damage done by incom- petency since the strike begun is enormous and surpasses anything in the previous his tory of railroading in our state. . The striking engineers and firemen liavo just been paid for the month of March. They are llrm and courageous , add deter mined to win this fight if it takes u year to doit.

Ofllocr Rnworth Makes lioiul Threats and IN Seriously Assaulted. George Unworth , a recent graduate from the police force who has joined the ranks of the Pinkerton importations , got into trouble with a couple of striking engineers lust even ing and wns badly used up. Haworth is said to do his drinking , while on duty , at Dick Burdlsh's saloon , on the corner of Tenth and Davenport streets. A number of ox-cngln- eors and ox-switch men also muko this their rendezvous , and It is said that Haworth has , on a number of occasions , in n Fallstafllun manner , told them what ho would do with them if they attempted to interfere with the "scabs. " Last evening ho grow very inso lent and blatant , and Pat ford , who was near by , told him ho must not provoke the boys 10 a fight and led him away across the street. But few minutes later ho re turned in tlmo to sco n follow named Mullonoy point to a passing train and say : "There goes six d n scabs. " Unworth stopping up said : "You black guard , I want you to leave these 'scabs' alone. I am hero to protect them. " Tills brought on Bomo hard words between the ofllcor and the engineers , mid Ruworth , drawing his revolver from his pocket , said : "If you monkey about mo I'll ' kill ono of vou. " The words were hardly out of his mouth Dofore Mallonoy , springing forward , wrench ed the revolver from Haworth's hand. Ho then beat the Pinkerton proselyte over the head with iho butt end of the weapon , in- Hiding an uncanny gush over his loft eye and a couple on the side of the head. While thus pounding the ofllcor the revolver was exploded and Malloncy , thinking that Ruworth was mortally wounded , took to his heels and has not been seen since. Ituwortli was taken to his homo and his wounds dressed. No trace of the bullet was discovered and it Is thought it did not strike him. They Called Him "Scabby. " Edward Goody and C. Moore , a rouplo of 13 , & M. ex-BWitchmcn , were arrested ynster- day ou the charge of assault with intent to kill. The complainant is J , W , Fox , a union switchman who has joined the scabs , Goody and Moore were first astonished and then amused at the charge against thorn. They eny they cannot account for anything they have said that could bo distorted into oven a threat. They admit they have hailed him as "scabby" a number of times , and on ono occasion they remarked to him that If the scab engineers should blunderingly run over him it would bo no loss to the commu nity. Fox got very angry nt this , nnd the boys suppose that his charges must bo based on this. _ Heavy Morte K Piled.
