HASTIXUS , Neb. , Mny 14. [ Spocinl to Tun
BEF. . ] AnoMicr catastrophe Is Imminent.
The clans arc gathering and Jim Lnlrd will
doubtless bo nominated by acclamation to
night. With Hnrlnn out of tlio race , fcitlml-
rtutcd by a few henchmen whoso solo busi
ness It Is to assist monopolies In their
ravages , Lnlrd has the Hold to himself , and
the more farce of n nomination Is to bo gone
through with.
Even York county , so far n1 * I can learn ,
has surrendered to corporate dictation , and
C. A. McCloud , of York , Is hero with his
| > antB pockets filled with proxies , and will
vote them for Laird without a
blush or murmur. It Is fitting
In this Instance that McCloud should favor
corporation tools , ns he Is the rlirht-of-wny
man for the Fremont , Elkhorn & . Missouri
Valley road.
Kearney county delegates nro Instructed
tmd will make n fight to postpone the con
vention , but as stated In my telegram lost
night , the case is hopeless. Laird , through
his political manager , Boss Bostwick , lias
the entire programme his way , and while not
on the ground personally , the scriptural quo
tation that the ass knowoth its master's crib ,
is pertinent.
Tlio few delegations arriving SunOay were
all for the pugilistic congressman , and these
coming m to-day nro singing his praises.
W. T. Uichardson of David City ,
n candidate for delegate to Chicago ,
nud a 13. & M. contractor , Is one
of the Butler county delegation.
Hichnrd Norvnl of Scward Is another
candidate for Chicago , and blooms out Hue -a
lily of the Held , though ho tolls not but Is
buzzing all the boys.
John Harper , a pollticnn whose fame Is
confined to the narrow boundaries of David
City and Butler county , Is hero working
every man ho sues , and insists that they help
him secure the nomination for state treas
urer. Harper sees In Lard all tbo ennobling
graces and attributes that malic a statesman
and n man , and is accordingly howling him
self hoarse for the peerless statesman.
G. II. Stewart ( another lawyer )
heads the Frontier county dele
gation , and unless something
of great moment trnnsnircs will deliver it
body , soul and pantaloons to the patriot of
the Second district.
U. H. Likes , now a banker at Hayes
Center , Hayes county , formerly of Culbert-
sou , is u candidate for Chicago , and as ho has
never charged men interest to breathe in his
bank , thinks ho should bo rewarded for the
dangers ho has not been called upo n to
pass.
George Einscl , another banker , of Hol-
drcgo , is figuring out how ho could save the
nation by going to Chicago ns a delegato-nt-
Inrgc.
8. Hi Stcelc , of David City , who does some
business for the Fremont , Elkhorn & Mis
souri-Valley , road , is also a delegate hero to
boost Laird.
.T. C. Roberts dispelled all my hopes or
fears , by telling mo that Lnlrd would go
through by acclamation. Everybody knows
Jake. Ho gained the enviable cognomen of
Beefsteak IZobcrts some years ngoJus mem
ber of the legislature. It will bo remem
bered In a certain memorable investigation
when Roberts was most needed , a skilled and
schooled physician came in with tears in his
eyes nud announced to the committee that
Mr. Roberts was sick deathly sick at his
room , and could not bo Interrupted oven dis
turbed. Finally someone looked into his
room , and saw Roberts in all the strength
nnd vigor of his manhood , spreading desola
tion through a double porter-house steak
larger than Jumbo's ear. Well , as would bo
expected , Jnko is for Lnlrd having fully re
covered.
John Barsby. who in years agono printed
the Fairmont Bulletin , through one campaign
to bolster Laird in Fllltnoro county , who is a
lawyer nnd 11 politician , came in Sunday to
BOQ that "everything was running smoothly. "
Charley Johnson , of Nucholls county , who
was a member of the legislature that elected
Manderson to the United States faonnto , will
probably die with his slippers on to-night , In
11 vain attempt to go to Chicago.
E. J. Haincr , a lawyer of Aurora , Hamil
ton county , also wishes to go to Chicago , and
is plastering the kinks in his fences.
I ) . 13. Cropsy , of Falrburg , heads the
Jefferson county delegation , and is not par
ticular who goes to congress , just bo it is
Laird.
Mr. Montgomery , a moulder of public opin
ion , from Culbortson , is hero gently scream
ing for "Our Jim" and soliciting subscribers
for his paper , the Sun single copies 5 cents.
J. Ken Matthews , none time Unudllla ( Otoo
county ) lawyer , now a Jeweler from the
wilds of Clmso county , heads n delegation
from Champion.
13111 Urown , of Culbcrtson , and late of the
defunct legislature , could not bo elected as a
delegate was woefully defeated but early
this morning arrived in Hastings and now Is
pouring out his soul to Hostwick.
W. 10. Habcock , of Furnub county , Is on
the ground.
J. I * . Prieo. of Strntton , once of Ncmnha
county , nnd then Church Howe's right hand
man , is losing no time in pc'rfccting Laird's
slate , in order that he may bo nominated on
the first ballot.
As the convention to-day nominates two
delegates to the Chicago convention , ns well
as a congressman for the second district ,
there is considerable work to do. The result
of to-night s i-onvontion will certainly furnish
food for thought to these who think.
AL FAIKIIUOTIIHII.
Tlio Catastrophe of the Night.
lUsriNOS , Nob. , May 14. [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : Bun , ] The fourth biennial tip.
pcnranco of Jim Laird hero and the states
men of thq Second district was greeted tills
evening with u crowded house. The scenic
effects wcro good , and although Jim was not
hero , the pluy was not Ilko Hamlet with
Hamlet omitted , for Boss Hostwlck played
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The convention
drew u good crowd , nnd whllo the dilTcrcnt
delegates wore nil in favor of Laird there
yet was n desire oven among them to assert
supremacy.
The show was opened by Bootwlck , fol
lowed by prayer by Rov. Harlan , of Fair
mont , who asked that through good , sound
BOiiflo Mr. Lnlrd bo returned. Twenty coun
ties wcro represented , 205 votes being tlo
total number. John linrsby , of Fillmore ,
was made chairman by Judge Morris. The
J alrd lawyer , accepted gracefully Ho
liopcd by his strong right urm that wo would
havu gto.it success. He stood like the poet
David nnd Bang his song for Laird. Captain
Parkinson , of Seward , offered a motion
junking Unrsuy permanent chairman ,
J , 6 , Qlllam of Webster county nominated
Laird In gobs panegyric. Ho know Laird
was not here , uut all his friends were , Ho
knew Laird was able , honest nnd deserving ,
and talked on nud on , gioanlng like a young
Atlas with a world ou his back.
Cnptnln Parkinson seconded it ull In ilru-
mat in style. Ho said that among the many
congressmen Laird WAS the ablest Romau of
them all.
It was Immediately moved nnd seconded
that Lain ] boiiswmmeii by acclamation , ami
can led arnld wild and protracted cheers.
Ucbrgo 11. Hustings read twenty-three
pages of a long nnd windy speech of statis
tics which Lnlrd had sent , which wonld have
put the editor of the Congressional Record to
shame. Tears filled the eyes of all per
sons present. It was n masterpiece of
eloquence , by his man Friday addressed to
Bostwick several days ago. Laird claimed
that Cleveland had fiddled away like Nero
upon loose strincs of reform , unmindful
though Rome should burn , though ho said
nothing of what ho had done In congress.
As n republican ho was a protectionist. Bo
would protect America by shutting off the
tide of foreign Immigration.
Sleelo , of Hutler , moved to elect delegates
to the national convention. It was tlnally
decided to cut the district In two , cast nnd
west , electing one delegate from each nnd.
Some discussion followed , but It was carried.
Butler , Clay , Jefferson , Nuckolls , Polk , Sow-
nrd , Saline , York , Fllmorc , Thaycr and Ham
ilton were the cast end , with KKi votes , nnd
Adams. Chase , Dundy , Frontier , Furnas ,
Franklin , Gasper. Harlan , Hitchcock , Hays ,
Kearney nnd Phclps. with 103 votes , wore the
west. On the third ballot Ben Baker , a law
yer from Fnlrbury , was elected from the
cast , receiving ISO , against 40 for Richardson ,
of Hutler. . From the west Einscl , a banker
of Holdregc , received 65 votes , against Bab-
cock's ! ) S , and was elected. C. S. Johnson ,
of Nuckolls , was elected alternate from the
cast , nnd Gcorgo F. Stewart , of Frontier ,
from the west. Einscl is for Blalno ilrst ,
Qresham second choice. Baker is not com
mitted. R. H , Norvnl , of Scwnrd , wns rcc-
ommendcd ns dclcgutc-at-lnrgc.
The convention declared the rightful clnlm
of the Second district to bo represented
direct by nt least ono delcgntc , ns it com
prised one fourth of the state.
Uos i Bostwlek sat at my table and wrote
n telegram to "Jim" apprising him of his suc
cess , but , ns It had all been arranged , ho will
not need congratulations. Richardson , like
Bnbcock nnd a score of others , died grace
fully nnd peacefully.
James McNcny , of Webster was recom
mended to the state convention as presiden
tial elector. II. Bostwick was elected chair
man of the congressional committee nnd W.
L. Stark , or Hamilton , secretary.
The resolutions favored n reduction of
the surplus , appropriation for coast defences ,
n nnvy niut other needed public Improve
ments ) demanded the duty be removed from
coal , salt , lumber , sugar , copper and tin.
Also , the immediate issuing of patents to nil
lands not contested. In order to gratify
Laird it was further resolved that wo have
experimental stations. They favored the de
pendent pznsion bill and state homes for dis
abled soldiers.
It was no victory for the railroads , v
There was.no fight.
It was simply a walk-away.
The convention adjourned at 11:80. :
AL FAIIUIUOTHEB.
Dorsoy Gets Thci-o Arery Easy.
NORFOLK , Neb. , Mny 14. [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : BEC. ] Delegates and others
have been gathering hero since Saturday.
The day has been most auspicious. The
opera house m which the convention
assembled was tastefully decorated with the
red , white and blue. Dorscy's entrance
woke up the echoes. At 8 o'clock the hall
was packed when Chairman Barnard's gavel
fell. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. J.
Parker. George F. Blanchard , of Sheridan
county was elected temporary chairman , S.
C. Becbe , of Custcr , secretary , nnd W. G.
Connor , of Buffalo , assistant secretary. The
roll of delegates was read by the secretary.
On motion the temporary organization was
made permanent. A committee on resolu
tions was appointed by the chair with Bacon ,
oi Hall , as chairman. An original song was
sung by the Arion quartette entitled , "There
is Trouble In the Democratic Camp , " which
was enthusiastically cheered and gave such
an appetite for more of the same sort that
the singers presetted another song "We
Are All Sobbing. "
A motion was made to proceed with the
order of business ns contained In the call ,
which placed the congressional nomination
Ilrst.
Ilrst.A
A substitute was offered to proceed with
the election of delegates to the national con
vention.
A spirited discussion ensued , in the midst
of which Dorsey came forward and poured
oil on the waters beginning to bo agitated.
The vote on the substitute resulted in 220
noes to 01 nays , and showed the strength of
the Dorsoy clement in the convention.
S , K. BlttenbcnUer , of Dixon , put G. W. E.
Dorsey in nomination to represent the largest
congressional district on earth.
A. E. Cooley , of Howard , presented the
name of Thomas Darnell.
Brad Slaughter of Nanco , said his delega
tion came instructed to present the name of
G. W. Meilciphn , but he would second the
nomination or Dorsoy.
John R. Neisbltt from Lincoln county ,
withdrew the name of Thomas Darnell , and
seconded the nomination of Dorsey ,
It was then moved that Dorsey bo nomi
nated by acclimation , and the motion pre
vailed without a dissenting voico.
Dorsoy was loudly called for , and in responding
spending ho expressed his great obligation to
tlio Third district , for the honor con-
f cried upon him. He stated his
determine to continue to serve
liia constituency to the best of his ability.
Ho then alluded to Uio various candidates
for the presidency , each name awakening
applause , but when Blatno's name was men
tioned there was the wildest applause.
Colonel Tucker , of Brown county , gave an
address full of pith and humor , backed by
his USD pounds of republicanism. Ho was
followed by Russell of Colfav nndMcikloJohn
of rJnuco , counseling united action for
victory.
On a vote to proceed with the election of
two delegates to the national convention , G.

The Crawford Case.
KRAHNEY , Neb. , May ! . To the Editor of
TiiKBrxi There should not bo allowed any
temporary set-back by the present depart
ment nf state in the case of the shooting of
the gallant Captain Crawford , U. S. A. The
plain facts are , the Mexican troops have
always acted with an envious spirit towards
American troops. They huvo never lost an
op | > ortunity to insult our troops , They knew
when they attacked Captain Crawford's com
mand that they wora attacking Indian scouts
enlisted into the United States , commanded
by a United States military ofliccr of the
United States , and at the moment ho was
shot ho was pointing to his uniform and but
tons , upon which were the insignia of the
United States. When Captain Crawford
with n United States uniform was shot by a
foreign foe , that shot was meant for every
American citizen ; It was meant for the entire
United States army , the principles they rep
resent ; and It was meant for the govern
ment of the United States. Now that the
work has ) > ecn doao tlio honor of the Ameri
can Hug and the dignity of the republic de
mands nn explanation.

WASHINOTON , Mny 14. Mr. Stewart offered -
fored a bill proposing nn amendment to the
constitution of the United States so as to re
duce from two-thirds to a majority vote in
each house overriding presidential vetoes.
Ho said ho would at n convenient time make
some remarks on the subject.
Mr Hoar , from the committee on privi
leges aud elections , to which had been re
ferred certain resolutions of the joint con
vention of the two houses of the Indiana leg
islature concerning the election of Turpio ns
United States senator , made n report nnd
nskcd to be discharged from further consid
eration of the resolution and memorials ,
"thereby confirming the tltlo of Turpio to

printed in the Itecord , nnd gave notice that
ho would call It up to-morrow.
Mr. Vest offered n resolution for the ap
pointment of n select committee of five
senators to examine freely all . questions
touching the meat product of the United
States , and especially as to the transporta
tion of bcuf and beef cattle nnd the sale of
the same In cattle markets , stock yards and
cities ; nnd whether there exists , or 1ms ex
isted , nny combination of any kind by reason
of which the prices of beef and beef cuttlo
have been so controlled or affected as to do-
minlsh the prices paid to the producer without
lessening the cost of meat to the consumer ;
the committee to bo permitted to hold its

House.
WASIIIXOTOX , May 14. * The house went
into committee of the whole on the tariff bill ,
and was addressed by Mr. Hatch of Missouri.
Ho said that ho would be derelict in his duty
to the people , faithless to his constituents
and disloyal to the agricultural interests of
the country if ho necloctcd to speak ear
nestly anil plainly in what ho considered the
legislative crisis in the history of the coun
try. The Mills bill was simply a proposi
tion of modification nnd reduction. It did
not touch the principle involved in the Merrill -
rill tariff act. He wished there was n bill
before the bouse based on a principle of
equality and fairness , broader aud deeper
than was involved in the pending proposi
tion , but the principles of protection were
fastened on the country and all that could bo
hoped for to-day and all that the bill sought
to accomplish was the reduction of
the amount of taxation collected by
tno government and put into the treasury.
Gentlemen representing agricultural dis
tricts of the west would find a storm of in
dignation among their constituents when they
got home. Ho spoke for the farmers of the
Missouri valley when he declared that they
were almost unanimous in favor of free wool
and a reduction on manufactured woolcu
goods.
Mr. Syms of Coloradol said the president
had shown nn entlrewant | of comprehension of
the whole tariff system when he told the
farmer in one paragraph that a protective
tariff was wrong and in the next attempted
to show the manufacturer that ho would bo
benellttcd by the placing of raw materials on
the free list.
Mr. Funston of Kansas declared himself
for Amcr'can interests as against the bal
ance of the world. Ho wns a protectionist.
He would protect the United States against
foreign invasion , whether by armed force to
lay waste the land or by tfio products
of pauper labor to destroy our
industries nud take away from
the American laboring man his
employment. Ho maintained the proposition
that the farmer wanted neither nn English
market nor English goods and would hail
with joy the day when ho would have
neither.
Mr. O'Neill of Indiana argued in favor of
putting lumber , coal and iron on the free
list because he believed these products of the
United States could compete with the world
without there being nny tnriff upon them ,
Mr. Thompson of Ohio said the difference
between the tlio republican party and the
democratlo upon the tariff' question was rad
ical. It was not a difference as to the adjust
ment of the system of tariff taxation ; it wns
a difference as to the system itself. It WHS
the avowed policy of the democratic party to
reduce tariff duties to a revenue basis , and
not only this , but to eliminate entirely the
idea of protection to American industries and
American labor. The democratic party was
absolutely hostile to protection A tariff for
revenue onlv would result in the lowering of
the wages of labor to the level of these paid in
the old world and would mean danger to the
pence of the republic.
Mr. Strublo of Iowa said nmong the things
some commendable , some despicable done
by thu present administration , nt least three
could not cscnpo the condemnation of the
pcoplo. The president hnd first attacked the
silver dollar , then the greenback and then
the protective system under which tlio gov
ernment had grown and prospered , and by
reason of which it hnd attained financially ,
commercially nnd Intellectually the proud
distinction accorded it by the civilized world.
The committee then toso nnd the house
adjourned.

No.7 of the Santa Fc , known as the "Thunder

had only been standing there n few minutes
when a cnbooso and some cars , the brakes of
which had got loose In some way , run down
from n sldo-tntcic and struck thu train with

loaded with naptha , which oxploded.throwing
oil over everything and setting the train on
fire. The train men shoved the Injured cars
back from the wreck and were trying to save
the depot when it was discovered that two
cars wore standing on the main track that
wet o not wrecked. The nearest ono wns

persons , were killed by the explosion , and
some twelve or fifteen persons wore
wounded , none very seriously. There Is a
hole In the ground where the car stood about
thirty feet in diameter nnd fifteen feet deep.
Two cnrs were burned nnd sixteen , together
with the locomotive , were more or less

the brakes from the freight car. The car
thnt exploded contained 17,000 pounds of
powder. The shock was felt for a distance
of twenty miles. Everyone of the twenty
houses In Fountain nro destroyed , together
with the now Baptist church. Every inhab

then an hour's drive in a venerable centen

self before a splendid stone castle built on

" 1st der Herr Schurz zu hause ! " "Yah , "
was the reply , nnd in a few minutes I was
sitting with Mr. Schurz biforo n blu/.lng

the library. I handed Mr. Schurz an Euro
pean edition of the Herald of May 0 , con
taining' ' a cable letter from Now York
announcing Bayard's ' instructions to McLano
in reference to American citizens drafted in
the French army. After Schurz read the
whole story , I asked , "Do you think the
claims of the French government tenable ! "
Mr. Schurz replied , "No , I do not. "
I asked him in what particular.
Mr. Schurz said , "I do not think interna
tional usage sanctions what the French gov
ernment insists namely , that naturalized
American citizens born in Franco drafted in
the French army can seek immunity only
from the courts. In such cases the remedy
is by npplying to the department of state if
they have reason to believe my particular do-
crco had been iuiprovidcntly issued. But
the French courts have no jurisdiction in the
matter whatever. "
I then asked Mr. Schurz , "Do you approve
of Bayard's instructions to McLano to de
mand immediate release and indemnity i"
j Mr. Schurz said , " Yes , 1 entirely ap
prove of Mr. Bayard's action in the mat
ter. " Here tlio interview ended. I after
wards had a very pleasant chat with
Mr. Schuiv. on other subjects. We talked
about the kaiser , about Bismarck
about Boulangcr , but Mr. Sehurz would not
authorize mo to give publicity to his views on
those subjects. Mr. Schuris in robust

Tun Bin.--Judgo : ] Shephnrd tlollverod na
opinion this morning In the case of Daniel
1C. Tcnny , trustee , against Loyal L. Smith ,
Halnian Lowey and Louis Cole which is of
much interest to business Hi nearly every
line of trade. In ISSrt Loyal L. Smith , who
ran n largo dry goods store In Omaha , sold
but to Lowey and with several thousands
skipped to Canada. A vast number of at
tachments and judgments wcro levied against
the goods , which Lowey assorted ho had pur
chased in good faith. After n long litigation
the federal court ordered the proceeds of the
sale of the stock , which was In the hands of
the receiver , to bo paid to Lowoy , but In the
meantime Smith came to Chicago from Cnu-
nda and gave information upon which n Judg
ment was granted tying up the moneys
in the receiver's hands. Lawyer
Tcnny , as trustee for the eastern cred
itors of Smith , then began suit to muko
Lowey and his alleged confederates liable
for the debts of the concern. The trial has
occupied nearly n month and the result Is a
decision in favor of the creditors who nro
represented by Tcnney.
In giving his decision Judge Shcp-
Shcphard referred to the alarming amount of
perjury nnd irreconcilable contradiction in
the case , and pointed out the difficulty of a
court of justice arriving at n solid founda
tion of truth under such circumstances. Ho
said that Lowoy lias testified to much that
was true , no doubt , but it was also evident
that he had testified to much that was un
true. The court could hardly credit the fact
that a competent business man like Lowey
would start oft" ou excursion like this to buy
out the stock of a man whom he did not know ,
whoso financial nnd commercial standing ho
knew nothing of , and pay the Mini of $30,000
for n stock of goods , the value of which ho
knew nothing of. The court f urtlicr' inti
mated bis disbelief of that part of the testi
mony which went to show that Lowey
brought down $30OCO in currency to Omaha
nnd paid it over to Smith. Lowoy
know what banks were for , and Omaha and
Chicago banks wcro all on business relations
with each other. For this reason the court
refused to credit the statement that the sum
of $30,000 was paid for the property nt all ,
nnd asserts his belief thnt nothing was no-
tually paid for the goods , nil thnt Lowoy ovoo
paid being $10,000 In consideration of Smith's '
turning the goods over to him and stepping
out.
out.TheJBdge continued : "Tho fact that ho
has testified untruthfully once makes all hid
evidence suspicious nnd unreliable. Smith
don't ' deny his roguery , nnd his testimony in
this has been corroborated in many material
points , which is not the case with thnt of
Lowey. But because two men with rascally
Intent engage in a nefarious and wilful un
dertaking is no reason why their testimony
should not bo believed and taken for what
it is worth. " In words of biting1
sarcasm the court then went on 'tu
take the testimony of the two men for what
it was worth , and show how it proved the
case against themselves. He went on to say
with considerable irony that of course ft
man might rush off to Omaha , hold a ulid-
night meeting with a bankrupt merchant ,
pay him ! 0,000 which he brought with him
in currency at the risk of being robbed , 'in
stead of using the banks , for a lot of goods ,
the value of which hi ) did not know , and bo
acting all.in good faith , but it was too much ,
for his honor to swallow.
In conclusion Judge Shcphard said and
he was sorry to be obliged to state It ,
for the defendant had been favorably
known to him for many years sim
ply this , "that Lowoy knowingly
entered with Smith into a fraudulent
conspiracy to defraud the Inttcr's creditors ,
and that the defense set up by the former Is
manifestly mannfuctmod from beginning to
end. A decree would then bo prepared clos
ing up the place in accordance with the
prayer of the creditors. After the decree
was prepared n lawyer in the court f > uld that
the court will doubtless relcr the matter to a
master to determine the entire amount of
goods In stock nud then order Lowey to pay
the full assessed value of them to bo divided
among the judgment creditors.

The report from the committee charged with
the task was submitted to a committee of the

was that General Becm had been murdered ,
but that no hlnmo was attached to
his wife. No explanation was vouchsafed for
such a state of affairs. The committee aukcd
for additional time to probe deeper into the
bubjcct. By a vote of the league this was
grunted , but later a reconsideration wns
moved and the committee discharged , thus
