LINCOLN , Neb , , Sept. 20. [ Spacial Tele-
Brain to Tun Dec. ] The most stubbornly
contested election that has ever boon called
upon to nominate n congressman in Nebraska
lias been In suasion nt the Metropolitan rink
sinro 9 o'clock to-night. Five candidates
were entered in the nice , viz : W. J. Conncll ,
S. At. Chapman , E. E. Brown , L. W. Colby
mid Islmm Hcavis.
D. O. Courtney , chairman of the congres
sional committee- the First congressional
district , called the convention to order.
Without the usual explanation of the
object of the assembly , the sec
retary win instructed to read the
list of delegates entitled to scats
in tljo convention. This , as usual , waived
the conventional committco on credentials ,
nnd n gentleman from Douglas placed Hon.
Franlc Ransom , of Otoe , in nomination for
temporary chairman , and ho win chosen by
declamation. On taking the chair Hansom
thanked the convention for the honor and
proceeded to business without an extended
speech. A. L. Mclvin , of Ncmaha , was
chosen temporary secretary , and Edward
Geary assistant.
After a short wrangle over the question of
nominating speeches the convention decided
that the eagle might soar flvo minutes and
no moro. It was decided that a call should
bo made by counties , in alphabetical order ,
and that the county having n candidate for
congressional honors should name its man.
E. II. Woolly , of Cass , presented the name
of S. M. Chapman. Judge lialdwln , of Doug
las , named W. J. Connell.amlhis nomination
was seconded by W. II. Dickinson of Soun
ders and Henry Clark of Sarpy. Judge Field
of Lancaster waxed eloquent in naming E. E.
llrown. A gentleman from Richardson pre
sented the mimes of Isham Reuvls , and John
Ellis of Gage ilia a like honor /or L. W.
Colby.
Thomas Clark of Lancaster and Mr.
Emery of Gage were found to bo necessary
appendages to the convention and they wcro
elected assistant secretaries and tellers.
Chairman Ransom then ordered the call of
counties and the lirst ballot was taken , re
sulting as follows : Connell fi4 , Chapman
'J , Drown HO , Rcavis 15 , Colby 27.
After three hours steady balloting the
fifty-llfth ballot found all flvo still on the
track , with Connell In the lead , Chapman
second , Urowu third , Colby fourth and
Reavis fifth.
The Richardson county delegation held a
consultation und Reavis was dropped. No
material change was made In the situation ,
however , as the twelve delegates scattered
among the four remaining candidates. After
nn ineffectual attempt to adjourn the fifty-
sixth ballot was taken with the following
result : Council 00 , Chapman 413 , Drown ! ! 'J ,
Colby 27 ; necessary to a cholra SU. Up to
< - the withdrawal of Reavis , Conncll had the
solid support of Douglas , Sarpy and Saunders -
ders counties. Lancaster stood solidly by
Drown , Gage by Colby , and Cass
by Cluipmnn Otoo divided between Drown
and Chapman and finally cast her twelve
votes for Chapman on the fifty-fourth ballot.
Johnson voted steadily S for Drown , 3 for
Colby and 2 for Chapman. Ncmaha compli
mented everybody except Drown , and one of
her ballots was cast for Church Howo. Paw-
nco divided her support and changed back
and forth among the candidates.
An attempt to create a boom for Judge
Pound was started on the twenty-fifth , but it
fell still-born. Church Howe's effort to di
vide the Lancaster delegation by casting his
\'oto for Lambertson , was equally unsuccess
ful.
ful.At
At 12:15 : Otoo county , on the nintleth bal
lot , mad a the decisive break by casting n
solid vote for Connell. She was followed by
the unanimous vote of Pawnee county , which
gave Conncll 80 .votes , a majority exclusive
of the changes which followed rapidly , amid
wild cheers from all parts of the house.
The following is the ninetieth ballot as re
corded by the secretary : Cass , Chapman 10 ;
Douglas , Connell 37 ; Gage , Colby 19 ; John
son , Connell fi , Colby 3 ; Lancaster ,
Drown 25 ; Nemnh'a , Conncll 7 , Colby
2 ; Otoo , Connell 12 ; Pawnee , Connell
8 ; Riclmrdson.Connoll O.Colby 3 ; Sarpy , Con-
neil G ; Saundcrs , Conncll 12.
Gage county moved to mnko the nomina
tion unanimous. Mr. Connell was called for
and in response made n tolling speech which
elicited rounds of applause. Ho assured the
convention that ho would bo the representa
tive of the entire district and planted himself
on the national republican platform.
As soon as the cheers subsided attending
the nomination of Connell , congratulatory
speeches were made by the candidates who
entered the light. Colby promised the alle
giance of Gage in the canvass and a sweep
ing majority for the nominee from that
county. Drown followed , thanking his
friends for the earnest and faithful support
that had been given him , and promised that
Lancaster , county would not shirk in the
pending fight. Reavis also endorsed the
action of the convention and said that Rich
ardson county would ao her duty nttho
polls.
Judge Chapman was called for , but ho was
not in the room. Wood , of Cass , responded
for him and modestly stated Uiat there would
bo no flics on the result of the election in
Cass. Lambertson made a ringing speech.
Ho congratulated the convention on thu wis
dom of its choice. Ho stated that McShano's
successor had been chosen and that the vote
of Douglas county would bo critically
watched. At the conclusion of his address
the congressional committee was chosen , and
the convention , at 12:45 : , adjourned.

A BOSTON SCANDAL.
Scnnatlonnl Ksonpudo of a Milllonalro
Sou With a Handsome Adventures' ) .
BOSTON , Sept. 20. The famous aristocratic
quarter of the city Beacon street is threat
ened with a scandal In the highest circles of
society. Such another story has never been ,
developed in the same circles. The parties
to this sensation nro Edward Warren With
erell nnd Gertrude Emma O'Neill. The for
mer is the son of Warren B. Witherell , ono
of the largest wholesale clothiers In the coun
try , whoso name Is as good as gold on State
street nnd nn open sesame to the parlors of
the socially elite. It was flvo years ago that
the O'Neill ' girl , then seventeen years of ago
and strikingly beautiful , made her ap
pearance in the Hub. She came In
with n dash and cut a dramatic fig
ure socially , so that public attention was
soon attracted to her brilliant accom
plishments and exquisite dressing. In n few
months she was the talk of the city.
It was the opening night of the "Dells of
Hazclmero" at the museum , and among the
admirers who flocked around her was young
Witherell. Mutual friends about town
brought around the slight Introduction neces
sary. Tlio night was spent at the O'Neill '
woman's lodgings on Shnwmut avenue , and
the first train for New York found them
started on a week's debauch. Gotham was
done up to the merry tune , aud on Saturday
they returned to Biston. Tlio girl had played
her game with fatal cleverness. The youth
was Infatuated. Tlio day utter his return
found him at her apartments pleading witli
her to marry him.
With a modest semblance of hesitation
she accompanied her prize to Providence ,
where on April 8 , 1SS7 , the two were united
at tlio First Baptist church by Pastor T.
Edwin Brown. That night , before retiring ,
a joint letter was concocted , which Informed
Withuroll pero of the catastrophe to his so
cial pride. The return mail brought a stern
order for the prodigal's immediate return to
Boston. The newly married pair came home
nnd n three hour's interview took place be
tween the head of the linn nnd his erring
boy. The latter was convinced that ho had
been guilty of a foolhardy action and allowed
himself to bo drawn into a scheme of treach
ery against the woman ho had married.
Ho returned to her nnd said his
family had accepted the Inevitable and con
sented to his continuing in the business. At
his suggestion Gertrude went next day to
visit friends nt Lowell , while her spotiso
made his inglorious exit from the scene of
action. It was a stormy scone then that fol
lowed in the little private office of Witherell
& Co. , on Summer street. The girl boldly
demanded her husband and produced her
marriage certificate in proof of her legal
right. Tlio old gentleman , gray-haired and
gold-spectacled , had passed the tearful
stage of his criof. Ho had determined to
match his wits with the adventuress and
preserve the family name at any cost.
So ho coolly told her that his boy
had left the states nnd gene where she
ivould never see him airain. Ho offered her
money to close the scandal , but she refused.
Her attorncy.fcaring some fatal indiscretion ,
advised her to live for awhile with hop par
ents in Norwood until the opening of the
court term. She did so , and later went to
Montreal.
Meanwhile the enemy had executed a flank
movement. Under the free nnd easy divorce
laws of some one of the western states a"rail-
road" separation was secured last fall en
tirely without the wife's knowledge. She
brought a suit for J15.0DO damages , which
was , however , abandoned.
Last June the Boston papers were filled
with elaborate accounts of a society mar
riage. Gertrude , who had gone to Newport ,
had the startling pleasure of reading it. The
contracting parties wcro E. Warren With-
crcll and Lillie D. Peterson , the latter belong
ing to ono of our oldest millionaire families-
Application will bo made this week to the
supreme court for nn order compelling With-
ercll or his lawyers , Messrs. Crandcll &
Knowlton , of this city , to show cause whj
the divorce should not bo set aside on the
ground that the O'Neill woman has never
had nn opportunity to defend her marital
rights , and because Witherell was not a resi
dent of the state in which the decree was ob
taincd. '

TUB BTHIKE AND POLITICS.
Illinois Democrats Making Capital
Out of the "Q" Troubles.
CHICAGO , Sept. 20. [ Special Telegram to
THE Dec. ] The great Hurllngton strike maybe
bo made an issue in the presidential cam
paign. That is the plan of the most radical
leaders of the strikers , and the Indications
nro that the qunstlon will bo pushed to the
front. The two great brotherhoods nro
pledged to the support of the "Q" strike , and
on every occasion have taken especial care to
declare that every honorable method will bo
exhausted to secure a victory. The railroad
employes the engineers , flrctncn , switch
men nnd brakemcn have already taken
measures to make the "Q" strike a state
issue. They declare they are not
as yet pledged to any party ,
but stand prepared to deliver
the entire railroad vote to that candidate or
party making them the best offer. Those in
n position to closely observe state that this Is
a thinly disguised Palmer scheme. They
claim the issue is to bo made upon the Pink-
crton question and predict that Palmer will bo
selected as the champion of the Illinois rail
road employes.
Within the last few days two national con
ventions of railroad men have boon held a
firemen's convention at Atlanta and n switch-
ncn's convention nt St. Louis. At both
real gatherings resolutions were unani
mously passed pledging support to the "Q"
itrikcrs ami endorsing the policy of the
lllnois men in entering polities.
Several of the leading strikers , who have
hvays alllliated with the democrats , have
ecu industriously proselyting strikers in
nvor of Palmer , tlio democratic candidate
'or governor , on the flimsy argument that
o is vigorously engaged during his stump-
: ig of the state in denouncing the Pinkcrton
Ircllngs , while Fifer , the republican candi-
nto , is not talking much about them.
AMEL1E HIVES' CONFIRMATION.
A AVoman Gives n. Graphic Account
of the Performance.
New YOUK , Sept. 20. There has been some
osslp In the newspapers concerning the con-
irmatlon in the Episcopal church of the
authoress , Amcllo Rives. A woman who is
'amiliar with the circumstances of that event
aid to-day :
"Atiielio Rives' confirmation took place nt
east six months ago. Miss Rives , as she was
lien , was to have been confirmed with aclass
: i the usual manner , but at the last moment
, cnt word to the bishop that she was too ill
o come. Her grief and disappointment at
.his misfortune wcro overwhelming , but she
, vas ill , and the bishop was urged and en-
Tented to administer the rite ot confirmation
o her at her own homo.
'Supposing her condition to bo dangerous ,
10 consented. When he reached tlio house
He was shown into the parlorwhere he found
in altar draped in virgin white and decorated
ivith llowers. In a few moments the por-
Lieres parted nnd admitted the sensational
iVmello attired in lomr. flowing white gar-
nents with angel sleeves which fell to the
icm of her gown , und all her hair let down
und combed out to iloat picturesuuoly around
ler. She gilded forward and full upon her
inccs at the good bishop's feet.
"As ho is not a theatrical prelate ho is said
o have been considerably taken aback at
his spectacular reception and not pnrticu-
arly pleased by such ostentatious devotion.
Ho , however , went through with the cere-
nony and Amelia had the gratification of
laving a special function all to herself nnd
is different from other people us circum
stances would permit. "
DISPOSING OF A HAREM.
The KiiiB of Oiidh Left 21O "Widows
to Mourn Him.
LONDON , Sept. 20. The viceroy of India
and his advisers , after some weeks of consid
eration , have settled a question of considcra-
bio delicacy. The dethroned monarch of the
former kingdom of Oudh , who died a few
months ago nt his palace in the vicinity of
alcutta , was the fortunate possessor of n
very considerable harem. As a matter of
fact , there were by actual count 213 royal
begums , together with ono who was
scheduled in the books of the harem
us "discarded. " His dusky highness
died intestate , and so , as his
numerous mistresses were totally un pro-
provided for , the delicate duty of arranging
for their future devolved upon the supreme
government. How to arrange matters was
for a time a problem ; but finally it was ar
ranged to set aside 50,000 per mouth , or
11,000 rupees , for the support of the bereaved
begums out of the immense estate lett by
their former lord nnd master. The begums
have been divided into classes , these with
whom the king was upon the greatest term ;
of intimacy getting a pension of 200 rupees ,
or $100 monthly , and so on down the list to
the unfortunate discarded one , who will re
ceive 15 rupees , or hardly the salary of
second-rate native butler.

The Locomotive Engineers.
CHICAGO , Sept. 20. The grievance com
mittco of the Drotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers , in secret session in this city for
the past two or three days , have concluded
their mysterious business. All efforts to get
nt the nature of the business In hand were
futile , the members declining to affirm or
deny the rumors concerning the delibera
tions. A gentleman who had oxccutlonal
opportunities for finding out what had been
done declared that the meeting had no
political influence. It related only to the
"Q" strike , in his opinion.

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Sept. 20. I
The administration nas got itself in rather
nn unpleasant predicament in reference to a
recently printed consular report. It has
been the policy for some months now to In
struct consuls to mnko reports upon the con
dition of business and such ether
matters in their bailiwick as would
bo likely to influence voters in behalf
of the Mills bill Idea , and among others who
complied with the request of the department
was Consul Hotchkiss , stationed at Ottawa ,
whotscnt over a long , carefully considered
report on the lumber industry of the Do
minion. A synopsis of this report appeared
in this correspondence some weeks ago. It at
tracted wide attention , nnd resulted in n
real demand for the report. The depart
ment then doubtless had it read , and instead
f issuing it in the first number of the regular
nonthly consular report , it was decided to
lold it back until after election in order that
t might not bo used as n campaign
Document by the republicans. Some incm-
iers of the senate committee on finance ,
lowcver , having received inquiries in regard
o it , procured a copy nnd had it printed in
lamphlet form for the use oi the committee.
Tims the scheme of the state department to
withhold this document until niter election
das been nipped in the bud and it may be ej-
iccted that the truthful consul at Ottawa ,
, vho told the real truth concerning the lum
ber , industry will bo summarily reprimanded
'or following the president's advice when ho
uttered that celebrated remark to his friends :
Tell the truth. "

LONDON , Sept. 20. The Morning Post ,
commenting upon Senator Sherman's speech
in congress , says : "Englishmen will not re
sist a deliberate decision on the part of
Canada to seek cither independence or a
union with tlio United States. The Cana
dians do not need Senator Sherman's assur
ance that the United States will admit them.
iL'io fact that so nblo a man as Senator Sher

Senate.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 20. The order reported
yesterday by Mr. Edmunds from the commit
tee on foreign relations , directing the reten
tion of the Chinese exclusion bill , was laid on
the table in the sonata to-day. Mr. Sherman's
resolution ns to Canadian affairs was further
postponed until Monday next.
Mr. Mitchell then proceeded to address the
senate on the motion to refer the president's
annual message. After speaking for about
two hours ho yielded the floor for a motion
to proceed to executive business. The exec
utive session lasted ever an hour. After the
doors wcro opened Mr. Mitchell conoluded
his speech , and then the senate took up the
agricultural department bill , the question
being on nn amendment to strike out the
fifth suction , which transfers the we.ithcr
bureau of the signal service to the agricul
tural department. The bill went over and
adjournment followed.
HOIIHO.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 20. In the house
the conference report on the sundry civil
appropriation bill was called up and dis
agreed to.
Mr. Pnyson of Illinois moved that the
house insist upon its disagreement to the
amendment of the senate relative to the
library building. Coupled with his motion la
a declaration on the port of the house , sus
pending the progress of the existing work ,
nnd autlrorizing the senate and house com
mittees on public buildings to invite from
flvo leading architects plans and specifica
tions for a library building , which will not
ixceed In cost $1,000,000. Mr. Payson sub-
cquently withdrew his proposition , nnd on
motion of Mr. Burns a lurthur conference
, vas ordered on this bill.
Mr. Morrow of California , as a question of
privilege , offered a resolution reciting the
mssage of the Chinese bill by the house and
iunato , the signing of the enrolled bill by tlio
weakling officers of the two houses , its de-
ivur.v to the committee on enrolled bills , nnd
lie fact that it is now in the possession of
r\eting Chairman Kilgoro. It further recites
, hc report in tlio Washington Post that the
bill is being withheld from the president by
the committee on enrolled bills , and declares
that sucu action of the committee Is without
authority of law. It directs the committco
on enrolled bills to transmit tlio bill to the
president forthwith aud without further do-
ay.
This led to a lengthy running debate ,
which was commenced by a point of order
raised by Mr. McMillan of Tennessee that
, ho resolution did not present a question of
privilege , nnd that thus far no rule of the
Jiouso had been violated. Mr. McMillan
further said that the action of Mr. Morrow
was for home consumption.
Mr. Rowell of Illinois wanted to know if
the bill had been introduced for home con
sumption.
Mr. Payson of Illinois said that this bill is
lelnyed because the president wants moro
: hnn tlio constitutional ten days. This is
i part of the same pcrformnnco begun
jy the gentleman from Pennsylvania
( Scott ) , who attempted in a demagogical
way to make some capital for himself and
party. Everybody understands it , and let
the country understand this performance
from first to last.
The speaker at once rapped Mr. Payson to
order , whereupon the latter asked the pardon
of tno house amid laughter.
Mr. Breckenridgo of ICentucKy stigma-
i/cd the use of the word "demagogical" as
discourteous and offensive , and an appeal to
the rallerics.
After further debate the speaker sustained
Mr. McMillan's point of order. While sus
taining it , the speaker said that he was not
'
prepared to sny thntmftho'rosolullon 'was
again brought up In n few days he would
