Had Murder In Ills Heart ,
CUHTIB , Neb. , May 24. [ Special Telegram
to TUB BKB. ] The retried murder of Mrs.
Annlo Bryant by her brother , In Lincoln
county , yesterday , proves to bo Incorrect.
Tlio story originated with Frank UatclifT , a
neighbor , whom Greenwood threatened to
Blioot on tlio ground that ho was the father
of the child. Katcllff stayed away from homo
all night , and the next day went to the
nearest Justices of the pcaco anil swore out n
pence warrant against Greenwood and had
him arrested , the trial being hold at 4 p. m.
yesterday.
The child was born In the morning ,
about 8. Immediately afterward Greenwood
camo'bomc , and swore unless Annlo left the
house within fifteen minutes ho would shoot
her. She Immediately got up and left , and
as she passed the window ho tired n
ball after her , wlilch missed Its mark. She
took refuge In n canyon all day , and at night
cnmc homo , took the child and went to Hut-
cliff's place In company with her llttlu sister.
She left the baby on the bed , where it was
found the next morning on the return of Mr.
mill Mrs. Hotel I IT. Leaving there , she and
her sister returned until they > cached the
pasture fence , one-fourth milo distant from
her liuine , whcro they separated , her sister
going home.
Since that time nothing has been scon or
heard of Annie. Yesterday the whole coun-
jtry was being scoured to find her , THE linn
correspondent assisting in the search , but no
trace of her could bo found. It is the uni
versal opinion that she had started for a
place some three miles distant through a
very rough country and on her way , becom
ing exhausted , laid down and died.
The result of Greenwood's trial has not yet
been learned , as the Justice before whom ho
is being tried Is some twenty miles distant.
Tha child Is now In charge of Greenwood's
wife and is reported a healthy one. Pub
lic indignation runs high to-day , and further
developments may bo expected.

faith , " ho said , "that men of different creeds
speaking different tongues , bred in unlike
social conditions , would hero coalesce nnd
co-operate for the general purpose of free
government ? The achievement Is greater
than wo are able to know. It docs not Ho In
population nor In the building of cities , clear
ing forests , tlio draining of swamps , the
binding of two oceans and the opening , of
lines of rapid communication in every direc
tion , but to the fact that wo have shown that
respect for the law is compatible with civil
and religious liberty. "
Of the Catholic church In America , ho said ,
all observers remark Its great development
here , the rapid increase of the number of
its adherents , its growth In wealth nnd in
fluence , the firm but gentle hand which
brings hctcrogenious populations under the
control of a common faith and discipline , In
spite of unfriendly public opinion and
of great and numerous obstacles. The bishop
predicted a splendid future for the church
and concluded by saying : "And now how
shall I more fittingly conclude than with the
name of her whoso generous heart and en
lightened mind were the Impulses which have
given to what long had been n hope deferred
and a dream-like vision a dwelling place

MUCH-MAUU1ED HILL
Ilcfddoa in Omnha hut Defends a Di
vorce Suit In Minneapolis.
MINNEAPOLIS , May 24. [ Special Telegram
to TJiB BEB. ] Lorenzo D. E. Hill , the de
fendant In the familiar Hill divorce suit
which Is on trial to-day , Is a much-married
man. At present ho , has no fewer than thrco
wives living , ono of Ihein divorced , another
the plaintiff in the present suit , nnd the third
the lady with whom ho is now living in
Omaha , Neb. His first wife died. The cir
cumstances under \yhlch Hill got himself
Into1 the peculiar matrimonial snare , which
rivals In Its complications those of the hereof
of the famous "Possible Case , " make a little
history of themselves. Seine time in 1SSS
Mr. Hill brought suit against the wife who
brings the present suit for divorco. In that
suit ho was defeated. Immediately after
this ho left Minneapolis , went to Dakota ,
and after nine months residence secured n
divorce. Then ho went to Maine , married
again and returned to Dakota. Meanwhile
Mrs. Hlll-tho Minneapolis Mrs. Hill-
began suit for divorce on the charge of de
sertion. The case was put on the special
term calendar last fall and tried by Judge
Hicks. Now it happens that Judge Hicks
has a custom of not granting a divorce until
two weeks after trial of the case. It was so
in this case. In tUo meantime Mr. Hill , who
up to that time had 'paid no attention to the
suit , announced that bo bad secured a divorce
in Dakota and at that moment was living
with his fourth wifo. the woman at Omaha.
The suit dragged on from week to week.
Mrs. Hill the fourth attempted to enter the
suit as a third and independent party and put
n stop to the proceedings. Finally , when the
suit was about to bo decided against him Mrs.
Hill asked permission to have the case retried
and como in to answer. ' This is the case that
is on trial to-day. Mrs. Hill the third de
clares the marriage of lira. Hill the fourth
was illegal , and she asks that the Dakota
divorce , which was decided against her , bo
annulled , and that she bo granted a divorce
on the ground of desertion. The suit seems
to bo narrowed down to a struggle between
Mrs. Hill the third wid'Mrs. Hill the fourth
for the possession of mill nnd his ? 25,000
worth of property. ; ; (

Tlio Usual Straddle.
Nnw YOHK , May 24. [ Special Telegram to
Tim BEE. ] There is a big row going on In n
quiet way among the New York delegation
to the St. Louis convention. Edward Cooper
is engineering it , and ho and his followers
propose to make It lively for Cleveland's
platform makers whcu the committee-
resolutions is appointed. It was Cooper
who made all the trouble for Cleveland at
the New York state convention. It was
found Impossible to prevent the selection of
a Cleveland delegation to St. Louis , and the
opposition confined their efforts to putting a
knlfo Into the administration's programme of
having the state convention endorse the
Mills' bill and the president's frco wool mes
sage. Edward Cooper got on the committee
on resolutions , and prevented the passage of
a resolution endorsing the Mills' bill. It was
a severe blow to the president and the advo
cates of that partisan measure , because If
the resolution had been passed it would have
been used as a club to bring Now York mem
bers into line iti support of the bill when it
comes to a vote In the houso. Having been
successful In the Now York state convention
Cooper Is now secretly plotting to got In a
blow at the Mills bill at the St. Louis conven
tion. He Is doing his best to have himself
put upon the committee on resolutions and
if reports bo true the administration will
hnvo hard work keeping him off. If Cooper
bo successful In this fight ho will go into the
committee on resolutions , backed by Bar-
num , of Connecticut , McPherson , of Now
Jersey , and Gorman , of Maryland , to pre
vent an out and out endorsement of the Mills
bill and interfere with Cleveland's pro
gramme In every other possible respect.
They will insist that Now York , Connecticut
and Now Jersey cannot bo carried on the
platform Indorsing the Mills bill and they
will lead the administration a lively dance
before it gets its way and the chances seem
to be altogether that they will frighten the
convention into making the usual straddle on
the tariff question , and that will upset all
that tbo administration has staked out as its
claim to indorsement by the people.

Affecting Four Million Acres In Col
orado and Wyoming.
CIICTKNNB , Wyo. , May 34. [ Special Tele
gram to TUB BEE. ] At Larauilo yesterday
Judge Sanfly rendered a decision ngalnt the
government in the fence case of the United
States vs the Douglas-Wlllan-Sartorls com
pany , which is the most Important land rul
ing made for years. The defendants had rn >
closed government land within fences enclos
ing lands bought from the Union Pacific
within the twenty milo limit , and the present
suit was to compel the removal of these
fences. The Judge decides that owners of
railroad lands may enclose their possessions
even when by so doing they fcnco in govern
ment land , and that stockmen who have been
compelled to remove fences from the public
domain within the railroad limit may again
erect them. The decision affects over 4,000-
000 of acres of land In Wyoming and Col
orado. Interest of a political character Is
added to the matter in Wyoming from the
fact that President Cleveland removed George
W. Baxter from the governorship of Wyom
ing when ho learned that Baxter had en
closed government lands within the fences
surrounding the lands ho had bought from
the railroad company. The case against the
Douglas William Sartorls company will betaken
taken to the United States supreme court.

DKMOCKATS QUAIIIIULLING OVEIl Till ! TAltirF.
An open rupture has taken place between
the friends and enemies of the Mills bill on
the democratic side of the house. Mr. Sow-
den , who is tlio only Randall follower in the
house from Pennsylvania , Is at the head of
the movement , and the work at the demo
cratic state convention nt Hnrrisburg , Pa. ,
yesterday , which Sowdcn attended and
which endorsed the Mills bill , is fanning the
flames. It will bo remembered the president
recently vetoed the bill appropriating $1M- )
000 for a public building at Allentown , Sow-
den's homo ; that the cause of this act waa
stated to bo that Sowdcn would not support
the tariff bill , nnd ho hns been in bad blood
over since. Ho Is especially angry with Rci- |
rescnUitlvo William L. Scott , who ho says la
given nil the feudal patronage for Pennsyl
vania with which to ruin tiio political fort
unes of the only two tariff protection demo
cratic congressmen from the stato. Sowden ,
has on his war paint , nnd while Randall ,
refuses to say what ho has In mind , it
is known that ho is In sympathy with his
colleague. When Mr. Sowden appeared on
the floor to-day and surrounded by members
on both sides , ho said : "Thero has been no
democratic convention. It was a Scott con
vention a millionaire convention , All the
federal office-holders wcro there. It was
controlled by ofllco-holdcrs , and those to
whom patronage was promised. The pcoplo
were fooled by promise of patronage which
they can never got. Mr. Scott posed as rep
resenting the administration ; hois received
by the white house ; Mrs. Cleveland Oime Ml
hear his tariff speech In the houso. The
people in Pennsylvania were deceived by all
this to taink bo has unlimited power in Mid
distribution of patronage. They all rushed
to get something. In the convention
the gag was applied. It was a
sorry day for the democracy
of Pennsylvania. They will Ucar from it , in
November.- They cannot control my action
in congress.Itold them so. The convention
was the most outrageous exhibition over wit
nessed in Pennsylvania. There was never
anything llko it. * ' Ho said much more , all
gomg'to show the intensity , of his feelings.
Ho said they told him ho tiould go up to the
national convention as a delegate If ho would
promise to vote for the Mills bill. ThU 'ho '
declined to do end they slaughtered him.

mittee of Iho senate finance com

the wish of the committee that
all arguments should bo made in
condensed form. The committee can socle
further information if it wishes. The hcarj
ings will begin next week. Wo will consider
the matter seriously and nt length , and If tlio
house sends a bill over hero It will not be the
fault of the senate if there Is not some reduc
tion of the revenue at this session. I thintc
there are some good points on which wo can
agree , and because wo disagree with the
house on certain points and that body allows
the bill to die in dead lock the responsibility
will not bo our ? . The business of the pres
ent congress Is more backward than that of
any of its predecessors within my experience.

agreement of the conference committee at
the two houses upon the bills to pension Mrs.

per month. These bills wcro fought
by Senator Paddock through the scn-
ute against the opposition of the

The house bills for the same object cut down
the compensation to ? 1S per month , and upon
motion of Senator Paddocktio ! senate declin
ing to concur in the house amendment , the
bill went to a conference committee. The Is
sue involved , nnil against which the democrat
protested , was the granting of pensions to
army nurses at a ruto at all commeiisunito
with their services. A fter a vigorous light in
the confcrunco committed Senator Paddock
succeeded this nfternoon in securing a favor
able report at the rate of compensation an
