LONDON , Sopt. 17. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to THK lir.B.I It began to
day lllto a pi y this Purnell commission.
Tno admission wn ? only by ticket , ono color
for the first floor , ors.'alls , so to speak , set
apart for Journalists , solicitors , barristers
nnd Q. C's. , another color for the two semi-
proscenium boxes , \vlicro the ladles sit , and
blue tickets for the gallery. Tlio accommo
dations for this great play were ns If a boodle
trial were to bo held in the chambers of tno
Now York police Jud'go. When Judges
Hannon , Smith and Day entered , Just as the
big clock was striking 11 the
appointed hour the audience was
fairly massed together and OX.VRCII
was in great request , Only one man Rccmed
cooK Ho was George Lewis , who might bo
the original Dickens character , " , vith his
Jilry droop and eyeglass" described in "Our
Mfituul Friend. " Ho was there as the Par-
nolllto solicitor , stage manager of a cause
colebro that ho Is , and looking as if ho ro-
Ktirdea the setting as preliminary to "H
flzzlo. The Judges , hov/evor , looked ns
if they meant serious business , and
when the presiding commissioner , Han-
nen finished reading the programme gov
erning tl'o inqury , the audicnco saw that
what at first looked like a comedy was not to
bo ojio in the hands of the Judges. Yet it
might turn out to bo a burlesque collaborated
by the government nnd the Times' Junior
counsel. The latter was manifestly uncom
fortable. He grew moro so when President
Ilnniion said that ho must formulate "charges
nnd spccillcatioiiH. " Tlio Times' junior
counsel looked worried. Ho protested
ngulnst the idea of representing
tiny prosecutor , and continued harning
on the word "information. " Justice Hannon
terrier like nnd used to divorce cases , hung
to his point. They wanted an issue. Who
was to make onol Sir Charles Hussell now
c.amc to the rescuo. vLiko a watch dog he in
sisted that ho was there on the defence but
who was the coinulainant ) Everybody
looked nt everybody as as asking "Is this to
end at the outset us the O'Donncl ' case
cndcdl"
Kvcn the judges looked puzzled. They do-
cidcd to withdraw for consultation. The
buzz which followed their nbscnco was in
creased by the arrival of Parnoll
who looked In good .health with
a bronzed look on his face intimating grouse
partrigo shooting. Ho and Lewis shook
hands. Parnoll seemed to bo asking "What
Is it all about ! " Presently back came the
Judge nt once asking moro light. Sir Charles
'read page after jingo of the Times pamphlet
on "Parnolliam and Crime , " saying ho was
thcro to answer these if anyone would back
them. The junior counsel for Mr. Walter
followed only to bo pulled up by the
Judges on irrulevancics and met by
the jwlnted question "Do you propose
to substajitiuto the charges ! " "Information ,
information , " was ejaculated by the Times'
counsel. Tlio question , however , was twlco
repeated. The evasion mid pressure soon
grow into a rhetoric duel , in which the
Times' Junior received several damaging
thrusts until ho finally said ho would produce
and file his shorthand notes of the attorney
general's speech in the O'Donnoll caso. Tins
concession was Jirst blood for Pnrnell. Now
Lewis fondled his eyeglass , Hussel , and
Asquith , M. P. his Junior , exchanged
winks , the judges breathed moro
easily nnd adjusted their wigs ,
but Parnell never moved a muscle
of his expressionless face. Hut the lawyers
present ns bpcctators evidently felt the
Tiines was alrcady'trumpcd as to their ace ,
and had lost the first game without holding a
hinglo honor. Next followed two applica
tions that were refused us premature. Ono
for a roving commission in America on the
j > art of Jho Parnellites , and one for the release -
lease of Dillon as n nocesiary witness.
Finally the court or commission , or whatso
ever the tribunal can bo called , adjourned to
October 2U.

DAVKNI-OKT , la. , Sept. 17. [ Special Tele
gram to Tun Urn : . ] The railroad cases
known ns the Davenport cases , being that of
the Jobbers vs the Chicago , Rock Island &
Pacific , Uurlington , Cedar Rapids North
ern and Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul rail
road companies , began to-day. All the com
missioners were nrcsont and n full corps of
nttornoys and ccneral freight agents repre
senting the roads. James T. Lane appeared
Tor the jobbers. Lane opened the case for
the complainants and the lirat witness was
Fred Wilde , secretary of the Tri-ciiy Ship
pers association , who occupied the 'morning
and is still on the stand. Ho testified
to twenty-five years experience as
a railroad man in making freight
nnd passenger tariffs ; that the Kith of May
tariff was l per cent higher than the Illinois
tariff , and destructive to the Jobbing business
In eastern Iowa. A strong statement of facts
and figures was brought up , showinvr the in-
Justlco of the present rates and making a
strong caso. Solicitor Fish , of the Chicago ,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad , cross-exam
ined the witness nt great length , and hibtcad
of demonstrating that the commissioners1
rates were ruinously low , established thu
fact that they nro higher than the special
tariffs made by the companies themselves.
By common consent the cases are to be tried
as ono nt this hearing , which will take sev
eral days. _

Annual Distribution of Profits By n
Mlnncftntn Mllllnp Firm.
MINNEAPOLIS , Minn. , Sept. 17. [ Special
Telegram to THE UEI.J : To-day the majority
of the employes of C. A. Plllsbury , the mil
ler , each recclx'cd an envelope , the contents
of which gladdened them exceedingly. Not
only did It Increase the slzo of their purses
but it Increased their love and respect fo
their employers. The amount distributed is
the largest ever given employes of any con
cern In the United States under the profit
sharing system. It exceeded $40.000. The
distribution was inada so quietly that none
outsldo of-thoso benollttod were Informed of
it. Inquiries mndo of- Charles A. Plllsbury
elided thO'Slmplo reply , "Wo have made our
distribution this year nnd uro luippy to say It
was larger than usual,1' and that is all ho
would say. It was four years ago that C. A.
Plllsbury ft Co. inaugurated the profit shar
ing system nnd the Ili'-tn was nmonir the llrst to
adopt it. The first year , what wan con
sidered a largo division , was mndo , nnd In
that connection the firm sent n circular to Its
men which Is ono of the mbst remarkable
ever issued by a firm In this country. The
nuening paragraph was as follows : "Wo re
gret to inform you that wo will bo unnblu to
muko n division of the profits to any of our
employes for the past business year. The
simple reason Ls that wo have no profits to
divide. Wo nro somowhnt recompensed ,
however , In the reduction that most of our
men have had steady work and that wo have
been ublo to pay your wages promptly and
without any deductions. " This year has
been n profitable one , nnd hence the work
man's share fs very largo. The distribution
lias been on a more liberal scale than before.
Every man who has been in the employ of
the llrm for two years has received n share.
The amounts individually received varied
trom $2. ) to j2GOO. In no case was the amount
less than 11 month's salary.

There was a wholesale car robbery in the
freight yard of the Fremont , Elkhorn & Mis
souri Valley road , nt Webster stroct , on Sat
urday night. Five cars , loaded with gro
ceries , boots and shoes , and hats nud caps ,
were broken into and the contents scattered
along the track. The cars were loaded dur
ing the day at the freight house platform and
shoved down into the lower yard to bo put
into the train. The goods were consigned by
McCord , Hrady & Co. , Paxton & Gallagher ,
Kirkcndall , Jones & Co. , and other houses ,
to their customers nlong the Elkhorn roail
between Missouri Valley and Doadwood. A
package of boots was broken into and the
contents scattered about the car and along
the track. Anything eatable was broken
into , raisins were thrown around , and in ono
car ft big chceso stood up on end with two or
throe slices carved out of it. Tlio loss could
not be ascertained , us it was thought advis
able by Mr. Kecfe , the claim agent of the
road , to let the cars go through to their des
tination nnd bo checked by way bill at the
other end.
This is the second depredation m.ido on the
cars of the company at the lower yard. The
spot to which the cars were switched is
lonely , nnd is visited by ono of the yard
watchmen on his regular round. The suppo
sition is that there'Is nu organized gang of
car breakers in that vicinity and that they
keep "cases" on the watchman. When ho
has passed they know the interval which will
c-lapso before his return uud have a clour
fluid for their depredations. A week ago last
Saturday night three cars were rilled of their
contents , presumably by the same gang.

ST. Louis , Sept. 17. The arrival In St.
Louis of the ilrst through Chicago , Burling
ton & Quincy train over the Wabash tracks
was signalized by the refusal of the brother
hood cngineern employed as hostlers to house
the Uurlington engines , and of the local
Wabash wipers to clean them , and the en
gines nro now standing on a side track cov
ered with mud and grease. The boycott did
not end here , for when the non-brotherhood
engineers sought board and lodging they
were refused on the ground that the broth
erhood men would not eat or sleep In the
same house with them , and the men were
compelled to couio down town for accommo
dations , Tlio most serious aspect of the
trouble lies in the fact that the Uurlington
has a contract with the Wabash which de
mands the bousing of its engines , and if the
Wabash orders Its employees to fultlll the
contract a strike will follow.

The Inst game ot the professional season of
1SS3 was played at Association park yester
day afternoon in the presence of 1,500 people.
The season closed very mausplolously , the
game being a dead steal by Umpire Traftloy.
Why Truflley was put In when the regular
umpire , Hagun , who draws n handsome
salary for his work was present , no ono
seems to know.
However , there arc Intimations for a cause
that wouldn't ' look well in print.
Anyway , it was u ploco of slmon-puro
Idiocy.
It was the mostbrazon robbery ever per
petrated on a bull Huld , ana the Omalius
should have been bcaton worse than they
were for continuing the game after they discovered -
covered that they wore to bo robbed.
Traflloy's ' work was ono uninterrupted se
ries of false and thieving decisions , and ho
isn't a man caleulatod to elevate the morale
of the national Kama.
In fact ho is simply vllo as nu arbiter of a
game of ball.
On Omaha's part the game was magnifi
cently played. They Iminmered the great
HutchinKon in a manner lovely to behold.
Who ovur told the poor graduate that ho is
a pitcher is his worst enemy.
With anything llko a half of a fair show ,
Uo.s Molncs' defeat would have been over
whelming.
However , the comparative merits of the
play of the two teams can bo gleaned from
the score. It is appcudsd :

crimination is not only in favorof Now York ,
nit also In favor of St. Louis as against Chi
cago. This , the Chicago manufacturers say ,
s adding Insult to injury , nnd they propose
o trtko some nctlon nt once. A meeting of

1'ho "Arabian NIilitn" nt the Orniul.
Among the spectacular productions which
lellghtcd a past generation and have proved
equally popular with the generation of to
day , that which illustrates the charming
story of Aladdin ami his wonderful lamp
doubtless ranks first. There I * not only a
icronnlal charm in this remarkable product
of the romancer's fancy , but the story offers
inllmitcd scope to the ingenuity nnd art of
ho sconlc painter nnd the stage mechanician.
This spectacle was presented last night at
ho Grand oporn house , with thotltloof "Tho
\rabi.ui Nights , " nnd was witnessed by a
lumcrous audience. It was on the whole
very favorably received , and cer
tain of its features were especially
acceptable to the audience. It would
lot bo practicable , If it were neces
sary , to notice thu entertainment in detail ,
ind It must suffice to say in a general way
hat there arc several very pretty scenic of-
'ects , that there are many amusing features ,
that there Is some fairly good dancing , that
generally the speaking parts uro creditably
sustained , and that there Is a numerous com-
mny which gives evidence of some eurcl'iu
raining. It Is an entertainment to plcaso
the eye nnd interest and nniuso the fancy ,
ind this it does quite satisfaotonly. There
ire to bo four more performances.

to entitle him to n fifty-live cent check.

lo go out. One of the cashiers ran out and
[ nillcd him back into the place. Lawless ,
who is a tall , dark man , a typical cowboy in
appearance , drew his revolver , and was
about to create havoc among the food-rush
ers. He was caught by the cashiers , how
ever , and laid over im the counter and bin
gun taken away fj'orii him. When ho saw
his gun disappear he weakened , and offered
the restaurant myrt money for his > release.
Tills was refused and the police took him in

He was released from the Jail last night

Miraculously He-stored.
ST. Pxur , Sept. 17. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : BCE. ] A curious case of a blind man
regaining Ins sight by the faith curn Is re
lated of Prof. Hetz , a teacher of modern lan
guages residing in this city. During the
winter of IS'J.'i the reflection o | the sun on the
snow made him totally blind. He was doc
tored continually for a time but to no pur
pose and finally he was advised to try the
faith , cure. That is what ho has been doing
for Homo time and ho is gradually recovering
his sight. Ho makes the sign of the cross
before and after each me.il and- mutters a
short prayer. This Is the main part of the
treatment. His recovery is necessarily slow ,
but it is sure. When medicine fulled ho
adopted this method nnd will soon be able
to sco as well as any of us. Ho can already
see liis hand close so nls face nnd only a few
months ago was in total darkness. Ho has
become a study for a srcat many people who
have been wiitching the progress of the fulth
treatment over sieco ho began it.

Miserable Condition of the Land of ( lie

and How They Arc
Farm Ins In
WASHINGTON , Sept. JG. [ Special to Tun
Hr.K.l It would seem from the reports Just
received on the subject at Iho department of
state that agriculture in IJpyi't ' has not Im
proved during the last three or four years ,
The Implements used in the rural districts
and the machinery employed In some of the
smaller villages nro almost Identical with
these which wore used 5.00J years ago. Tlio
ass , the cow nnd the eimol work sldo by
side with women drawing Itnplwnonts which
were patented after these used by AbiMham ,
Moses and other patriarchs who lived before
the days of Christ.
Ono of the most interesting reports on the
subject is from Consul Cardwcll and is dated
at Cairo , Egypt. July 11 last. In the course
of his observations on the subject of Egyp
tian agriculture Consul Cardwcll says :
Nature produced n singular C country
wherein have dwelt from the prehistoric
time a singular people , the ono and the other
seemingly absolutely dependent upon that
and these which have been and which must
jo. Tlio Nile Is not moro unalterable in its
course and in Us lloo.ls than the agencies of
irodiiction nnd reproduction in a land nour
ished by it since terrestrial symctry was
evolved. For thousands of years before
Moses promiscd.his followers a land drink
ing "water of heaven , " where the Israolitlsh
cultivator would bo spared thu toil , ns in
ISgypt , of watering his seed with his foot ,
: iavo the methods of cultivating the Hoil boon
unchanged. Ancient Egyptians oven sur
passed modern Egyptians in agriculture. The
country produced more , nnd thcro was
ijreater public and private wealth than now ,
Moro land , was in cultivation undur the
Pharaohs than under the Pashas ; the broad
and extended sea coast was not a marshy
waste ; Lake Mocris was in existence ;
there were moro canals , moro
Irrigation , moro cultivated Holds ,
greater 'harvests and greater independence.
Egypt was rich nnd powerful , the kingdom
of great , conquerors , the nourUhor of power
ful and invincible armies. Then she laid
other countries under contribution ; im
pressed luin'lro Is of thousands of c.iplivo
foreigners to accomplish the greatest works
of human creation ; had millions of treasure
iu store and grain for a famishing world.
Now the superficial area unor cultivation is
far less than it used to ba. There is not so
much irrigation and not as bountiful produc
tion ; thcro is public and private poverty ;
the magnificence of a nation has departed ;
Egypt produces no conquerors but has be
come the homo of the conquered. Yet , in
this wretched condition , with her people
taxed as they never have been before , simply
to gratify foreign greed , Egyptian ) live ;
and , besides obtaining a sustenance , such us
it is , in lt > 7 they exported it production
valued at nearly .V > ,000OiK ) , without discuss
ing the foreign pressure , wli'ch ' makes
Egpptians deny themselves every human
coml'oit.
In lisa" it Is estimated there were in culti
vation in E'.vpt lll-IOi ' ) ! fcddnn.s ( one fed-
dan is 1.20 acres ) , but the crops cultivated
for the same year covered 0lujil ) : ( fcJd.ms.
This is owiiig to what is known us exleiiaivo
farming , causing the same soil to produeo
moro than ono crop in ono year. There are
tlirco seasons of crop production in Egypt
chitwi , the winter season ; serf ! , summer ; nlil ,
autumn , or season of the .Nile inundation.
Therefore , in consequence of these different
seasons ot vegetation in ono year , we find the
entire- cultivated soil of the country subjected
In the Delta , or Lower Egypt , to the produc
tion of four crops In thretr years ; and in the
Nile valley , "or Upper Egypt , to seven pro
ductions in six years. In certain localities ,
where the soils nro of Hiiporior quality and
fie conditions of irrigation most favor
able , the proportions auove Indicated are sur
passed.
Analysis of crops shown that wheat is
comparatively moro largely produced in
upper than lower Egypt , while bcr.-.im is
nearly twice as extensively cultivatuil in the
IJeltifc ThiM'O nro now ever iiin. hnnil , o 1 1 n.l
thirty thousand fedduns cultivated in lower
Egypt in cotton , and very nearly ono hundred
and ton thousand in upper I2g.\pt. iScans
are comparatively nearly twice as extensively
cultivated in upper Eypt as in the Delta ,
while Indian corn is mainly produced in the
latter , the revcrfco belnir the case with doura.
Barley is about evenly cultivated in both sec
tions , while rico ii almost wholly produced
in the Uelta and near the scaconst. Twelve-
thirteenths of the sugar cane is produced in
upper Eypt. Luplnen , tobacco and peas nro
cultivated most extensively in upper Egypt.
While the cultivation1 fruits and vines
docs not constitute ono of the imp > rtant agri
cultural Industries ot Evpt , it is Interesting
to consider. In lower Etrypt nro produced
orungos nnd lemons of all varieties. Poaches
and pomegranates nro also produced ,
and no.ir Alexandria figs and grapes. Dates
are not largely grown in the Delta , except in
the provinces of Charldeh and Gharbich ,
whore there are some very good plantations.
In Upper Ejrypt fruit production t.s largo. In
tlto 1-Viyoiim it is the most diversified us well
ns most extensive. There grow In perfection
figs , pomegranates , apples , pears , grapes , ap
ricots , plums and olives. About Cairo , too ,
are grown with much perfection all the fruits
named , as well as quantities of bananas.
Olives arc grown , besides In the Fnyoum , in
the province of Minich and about Cairo.
Grapes are produced in nearly every prov
ince , hut the most important vineyards arc
found in the Fnyoum , where their product is
of u most superior quality.
"Hogs are roared In small numbers. A
Mussulman never eats pork , and , of course ,
ho would violate his faith by rearing the
abominable hog. The animal is reared in
small numbers in Coptio communi
ties , and the breed of swlno in use , I am ! > at-
islli-d , has been deteriorating since the devil
possessed a certain herd in this part of th'j '
globe ; and the man ivlio cats such pork as is
produced in a climate such as this is certainly
not as good as a hog. One- who contom plates
the eastern hog comprehends the illness of
things which brought about the Jewish dec-
luiu'ion Hint the beast Is an unclean thing.
"Milk diet among Egyptian agriculturists
is n prime necessity , and yet no data exists
from which any figures concerning the pro
duct may bo presented. IJoth the common
cow of Egypt , which belongs to a brood
thousands of years old nnd of purest strain
and great intrinsic morlt , nnd thu
buffalo contribute to It. Great quantities of
butter ( the milk of both the cow and the
buffalo being very rich in oil ) nro produced.
The Egyptian cow greatly resembles the
thoroughbred Jersey in form and in colors.
Generally the former Is not so clean in the
neck as the latter , but the form is Justus
beautiful , the horns moro crumpled nod the
milk flow as great and rich as tha ( of the
beautiful pot of so many American dairy-
it on. I feel convinced that tlfo Jersey Is the
transplanted progeny of oven thu godly
breed of Api ? inscriptions of the tombs and
temples , I urn satisfied , prove it beyond a
doubt.

gram to TUB IJnn.J The report received
hero that Ucd Cloud and Young-Man-Afrnld-
OMIls-Horso , the two loaJins chiefs at the

discouraging to those who hoped that the

bneii very bitterly opposed to the opening of
the reservation. Tlio old-time enmity which
has existed between him and Young.Mun.
Afruid-OMIis-Horso led to the belief that

Mr McShano was In tlto chair , and Mr. C.
A. Montgomery , of this city , present in the
capacity of secretary. A few democratic
politicians were admitted to the council ,
among them the following candidates :
Frank Folilu. of Scliuyler , candidate for
lieutenant governor ; Mayor Sloan , of South
Omaha , for elector at largo ; CV. . Alien , of.
Chadron , for elector. The conference was
held with clo cd doors , and lasted from S
oVIock till near midnight. Tlio campaign
and its conduct were discussed In all their
bearings. The sentiment of the meet lug was
that the prohibition nnd the tariff issues
should bo made the chief battle ground of
the campaign.
"There has been a feeling that , the demo
crats of Nebraska did not intend to make a
vigorous campaign , " a.ild ono of the eounnit-
tecmeii after the meeting. "Wo have decided
to light for all there is in it. We may not
win this year , but we hope to make u re
spectable gain that will bo the forerunner of
victory in the future. "
While the subject in hand was thoroughly
disrufiscd , no detailed or even definite plans
worn made. As ono member said : " 'Iho
meeting was more to meet Mr. McSlmne and
get his viowa , to hear reports from the differ *
ent districts us to prospects and to have u
general exchange of opinions. "
As a result ol the committee's delibera'
tions Chairman MeShano was authorized t'o
appoint an executive committee of llvi , who
shall have charge of the conduct of the cam
paign. In selecting the live the chair was
not restricted to the members of the state
committee. The olllcors of the latter will be
cx-oftlcio members of the executive commit
tee , making its membership eight. The pur
pose of tliis action was to give candidate Mc-
Shune complete control ot the management
of the campaign , and Ic.ivehltn free to choose
the lieutenants to exoculo his wishes.
Mr. Euclid Martin of this city was elected
treasurer of the state rouimitlee.
An assistant secretary will probably ba
appointed lo relieve Mr. Montgomery of do-
tails.
The committee adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman.

It states that decfimpositon w.is so far ad

nothing that could bo incompatible with
death from yellow fever. The board granted
a permit to inter the body in Greenwood

what rights the people have in these
cases A. W. Ankwlth brought an action
against A. L- . Snow for soiling a certain
compound for lard , said action being ti
direct violation ot ehaptor 79 of the
