Ttiurston , Judge l-'mvcctt nnd the Bishop The Itan- < iuct nt ttie Pn.xton. A Mcthndlnt Night. H was n fitting and heartfelt reception that was tendered Bishop .1. E. Newman at the First M. E. church last evening. Al S o'clock the church was filled by appreciative participants In the welcoming exercises. On the staijo , which was beautifully decorated with ( lowers and vines , were sealed Bishop Newman , Governor Thayer , Hon. John M. Thurston , .Judge Fawcett , John H. Max- Held , prc'sldlng elder of the North Nebraska district , Kev. J. W. Shanks , presiding older of the Grand Island district , Elder T. C. Clcndenning , who acted us chairman , and other distinguished men of the Methodist de nomination. The exercises were opened by singing the coronation hymn , in which the congregation Joined. Following this Hcv. Dr. Lemon in voked divine blessing , closing with the lord's prayer , in which , again , the audience Joined. The chairman , Hev. T , C. Clcndeming , then arose and said that for many days and weeks the Methodists of this part of the country have looked forward to this day , when they could welcome to the great cotn- hioiiwcalth of Nebraska , the distinguished divine patriot , Bishop Newman , but he would leave It with an abler man to express tlio feeling with which that welcome -was Dr. Maxfleld was then introduced and Bnid : It Is nothing extraordinary to welcome n new man to Omaha , for bo is altogether too Humorous , but wo think the Newman 1ms come at last. Wo feel overjoyed , Bishop Newman , that the long cherished wish to have .von among us Is at last fulfilled. When you learn to know these people In the we&t us I do , when you have grasped their hands and felt their heart beat , you will know , as I do , the deep feeling of gratitude with which your presence among us is regarded. Your fame Is well known throughout Methodism , nnd vro appreciate , I assure you , the ability and foresight with which you managed affairs twenty years ago , in connection with that service that resulted in the emancipa tion of the blacks. But we remember otlicr things and other deeds with which you have Identified yourself , during your useful life. To-night wo remember your extensive studies and your journeys to foreign lands , Where you broadened your culture , and so admirably fitted yourself for that work to which you are devoting your life. We be- llcvo your greatest work has been accom plished In your many ministrations in the cause of the church , where your untiring labor and zeal , have accomplished such worthy ends. Let mo gay in conclusion , Wel come to the state with IU broad acres nnd extensive rivers , welcome to the conference , Welcome to this city of Omaha , where wo trust your future home will be. Judge Fawcott followed Dr. Maxfleld. Ho 6aiu it would bo a pleasure for him to wel come any bishop to the stale , but it was an especial pleasure to welcome one who had been so intimately associated with many worthy deeds , nnd who had been the friend find confidant of the soldier and patriot Gen eral Grant. "Your coining among us , " con tinued the judge , "is significant of increased Strength and usefulness in the Methodist church in the west. Methodists are the pioneers noors of civilization , and indeed in this pio- tiecrship may bo included the saloon also , for it is undoubtedly true that those two institu tions usually get on the ground at the Biuno time , and , deadly enemies as tuny are , In the end the saloon usually gets worsted. " Hero the judge gave some church statistics , from which he showed that at such n rate of increase , It was merely a matter of time when all the world would be Methodists. ' 'But we have no such ambition. God knows there is enough for all of us to do in keeping the devil at bay , without seeking to proselyte from either church. There was never a time In the history Of the world when the church was so effective , und its tenants so well un derstood. Again let wo say to you , Bishop Kewuiau. that wo welcome you to this state pud to this city , und If you do not take up your abode among us thcro shall yet bo no place where you will meet with a warmer welcome than in the city of Omaha. " The chairman then said that it was not the Hothodists alone who extended this hearty .ftrootlng , but there wore those of other creeds , and those of no particular religion , who shared in this general rejoicing. He thereupon Introduced the Hon. John M. Thurston. , The distinguished orator was received with upplauso. Ho suiil ho tmd been nsslcned the pleasant tusk of welcoming Bishop Newman In behalf of the citizens of Omaha. Nebraska vus Indeed honored to receive a man of such .eminence in all the qualities that make men lioblo. Coming , ns the bishop did , the ao- credited head of the Methodist church , his field of usefulness here in the west was un limited. "Not only has your work for the Church been productive of much good , " said .the orator turning toward the bishop , "but tve honor you for your work as a statesman 'find n patriot , services which have been sc feelingly referred to by those that have pro- rpdod mo. In behalf of the citizens of pmuha and the state , I welcome you , and I trust your services may bo such as to make this whole state rejoice that you have come among us. " Governor Thayer was the next gentleman to extend to the bishop , fitting word ? Of welcome. Ho said In substance : ' "About an hour ago I was wending mj fnay toward the station when 1 was captured by the Kev. House und persuaded to be present hero to-night , I can assure you , friends , that It is with pleasure that I can Kay a few words of welcome to sncli an emi tient divine ns Bishop Newman. We ow ( inuch to Methodism in the way of nmtcria prosperity uud high civilization : and it is > vith gratitude that I recall the noble service "tho church of this denomination pcrforuict In the late rebellion. In this connection I re call , also , n remark of Abraham Lincoln t ( Ihe effect that the churches of the north wen fcno of his mainstays in upholding tin fcause , und especially was he indebted t < Iho Mothodibt church for its loyalty am aggression in supporting end promulgatiiif the principles of liberty.

Lc po unite them with those who have procedct Sno , in giving you hearty welcome to you pew field of labor , and this I do * .vith all m fccart. " . ยง The sjwechos of welcome were now con fludcd , and till eyes were turned upon tin IiishoD. As he arose and commenced t peak , there was a dead hush. Ho said : "Your Excellency , Ladies and Gentlemen tFhls is ft demonstration for the Met hod is Episcopal Church nnd for its officers and con 'fetltucnts , and what bus been said to mo thl evening 1 accept us a representative of thi fcrent church. Personally I rejoice in thn kind providence that has placed me i o many conditions where I hav been able to bu of use to tny follov men , , whether that work has boon us a in In Istor of , the gospel or as a soldier iu the field I am glad , too , that 1 may again be associate with ono who was ouco under my chaplaii fchlp.

" ' Twenty years ago I was iu Omaha , butOh , what an Omuha it was In comparison with what It la now. Indeed , it may bo said that thcro am but three cities in the Unitotl States , New York.Omahn and S.ui Francisco.

It was half-past 10 o'clock when a large company sat down to the banqueting board spread at the Puxton In Hlshop Newman's nor. Three long tables were white with Irapery and resplendent with silver nnd crystal. Except a few fragrant ( lowers in front.of tlie bishop's seat at the head of the middle table , the only decorations were jiotted ferns and other plants of their genus , which were ranged up nnd down the center of each table and filled the shelves about the room , making n pretty effect. A dainty luncheon was served by a corpsof waiters , and was dis cussed with a relish , It was midnight , and in the midst of dessert , when Hev. .1. T.

The Delays to Oiimlm Merchants Oc casioned By the Union Pacific. In June , 18S6 , there was a corporation or- Ifnni/.ed in this city under the name of the Union Depot and Railway company , nnd by virtue of said organization it was empowered to construct freight and passenger depots and to build railways in und about the city ot Omaha. The incorporators were Messrs. S. H. Cullnway , A. J. Popple- ton , Thomas L. Kimball , T. M. Orr , and Charles Ulnckwell , and for the purpose of constructing a union depot it had ac quired by purchase all the lots in block ITS and 179 , at the corner of Ninth and Jackson streets , excepting lots " and ; t in block ITS , and likewise obtained from the city the va cation of that portion of Kighth street be tween said blocks for the purpose of perfcctng the oiection nnd the maintenance of a union freight depot thereon. The legal title of lots No. 2 and U was vested In the First National bank , but J. H. Green nnd John A. Croighton claimed some interest therein. The corpora tion was unable to ugreo as to the price on these two lots , or to receive the right of way through them , consequently they petitioned that appraisers bo appointed in order that the company might acquire those lots by condemnation for the purpose heretofore stated. This petition was granted , and the appraisers llxed the price upon said lots at (0,000 ( , and $2,000 for the buildings which stood upon them. The appraised price was paid , and the company took possession of the two blocks in their entirety. There is no doubt but what the purpose specified in the petition was the Konulne ono to which this territory was to be devoted , for Mr. Calla- way hud matters so arranged , as to promise an early mntcriixH/ation of thu scheme , but it seems to have fallen throuph , or has been de layed Indefinitely , notwithstanding mer chants and shippers say there is a great do- miind for new und additional freight-house facilities and accommodations. The freight house which the Union Pacific and this corporation seems to have been iim-iily a Union Pacific project now uses on Nintn street , is Identically the same which they hnvo used for moro than a decade. It stands in the middle of the street nun pre sents a dilapidated and ramshackle appear ance , and was put there , It is alleged , with out authority of law. Complaints are numerous enough , which nriso from Insufficient depot conveniences , and merchants nnd dealers nsscrt Hint they are put to incalculable trouble and expense In being compelled to go through six orsovcn hundred cars and the different yards , to llnd their laden car.s.and when they do locate them and have them transferred to a point of un loading they must have them emptied within twenty-four hours or paj demurrage. They admit that this demur rage assessment is nil right if it worked both ways , but it don't. Their cars stand in the yards frequently us long as from four to sis days , on account of the receivers inability to locate or get at them , and this often entail' material loss to them , as it is ns likely tc occur in n busy season when there is nn un > usual demand for certain commodities ns anj other , Then , when they do tlnd their cars they must bo unladen within twenty-foui hours or suffer the demurrage penalty. This , the Interested parties all unite it claiming , goes to show the meritoriousnes ; of the original scheme of the Union Freighi Depot company , to erect a new nnd comma dious depot , and they nro desirous of learn Ing whether n corporation acquiring property by condemnation , must or must not , utilize the same for the purposes specifically so forth in the petition of the Incorporators J RJionrhtttism.

Hut Herlous Trouble In Fcnrcd Should the Went Side Men Decide to Go Out Thla Morning. The Chicago Strike. CHICAGO , Oct. 3. [ Special Telegram to Tun Hui.l : The only outward change In the strike of the North side street nnd cable car men was the running of a few cars on each of the lines under heavy police protection. Up to this hour there has been no disturb ance of nny kind , but all hopes of n settle ment or compromise seem very far on" , und to-morrow will undoubtedly see all the West side lines tied up. C. T. Yerkes is also pres ident of the West side company , and most of the stockholder * ore Philadclphlans , al though Ycrkos claims that they are not by any means the saino as the principal share holders in the North side company. Nearly two thousand men \ vgo \ \ out on the West side to-morrow if to-night's programme is carried out , so that the army of strikers will in all reach three thousand. Between seven hundred nnd nine hundred policemen were on duty on the North side to-day. Clurlc street , from Randolph to Division , was brilliant with blue coats and brass buttons , und 100 men patrolled the vicinity of the company's office on Clark and Division streets and guarded the power house on Clark and Kim streets. All but a few of the patrol wagons were ordered to East Chicago ave nue station , where those not leading the pro cession of street cars were held in reserve for all possible contingencies. Besides the hundreds on patrol duty , some four hundred men wore engaged in the not laborous but very chilly task of riding on the open street cars which were sent out by the company. Inspector Bontleld maintained a personal supervision over all the movements of his men , and was kept constantly advised of the situation and the outlook. While no danger actually threatened , there was the feeling that beneath the apparently peaceful scene there raged a very warlike spirit , whose force might at any tima come to the surface , and laughing crowds that thronged the streets turn to an angry , destructive , riotous mob. Some of the ofticers seem to fear great trouble should the West Side men. go out and the company make un attempt to send out cars in charge of new men. "Thcro will bo a fearful time over there , " said an oQicer who was riding on the end scat of nu open car. " .The people on the North Side are not as pugnacious as some of the boys on the West Side. There rtre thousands of young toughs on the West Side who are aching for a cnauco to take a hand iu a tight of that kind. " The company started to run their ears soon after 0 o'clock this morning. Sunday had been utilized to brine in as much outside help as could bo secured from Philadelphia , Pitts- burg and other places , and to enlist such local idle help ns was available. With this force at command , estimated at ! M or 300 men , of whom about 100 are from Yerkes' ' friendly line in the Quaker City , the com pany started out to give its patrons accom modation. No attempt was made to start up the grin cars , but all efforts were confined to the horse cars. On each car for the greater part of the dny might bo seen u driver , a conductor , ten policemen and a reporter or two , the public.seeming to [ irofer to walk or nUe in an express wagon to running any risks of possible'disturbance. Thcro was a tremendous crowd at the barns when the first curs started , but-the crowds wore composed mostly or-workingincii ind working girls , with'afnlr ; swindling of busi ness men. The six car's , efe "brought out and the now men greeted with the old de risive cries of "rats , " "scabs , " etc. , but be yond that no injury was offered. It' was the same all along the route. The nrav : tnen were yelled and Jeered at , But no bno was. injured. The strikers are evidently nettling back into the harness of their labor organiza tions , with u stuborn determination to hold the position taken by them until the day of of doom , if need be. Their main efforts to-day have been directed to dissuading the imported helpers from entered the employ of the company. In this they were comparatively successful. The main body of the gripmen brought from Philadelphia under the leadership of Detec tive William Henderson for whom , by the way , enemies iu that city have caused u ) vnr- rant to be issued on a criminal charge took liold promptly to keep the Chicago ally of the Philadelphia traction company out of its troubles. Mr. Yorkes , or "Baron Yerkes , " as he is familiarly known in Chicago ever since ho adopted the customs of the ancient German barons , professes to bo well pleased with the progress he has mndo to-day. "We have had some of our new men bought oft by the strikers , but if they Intend to continue on this line I fancy wo can employ new men faster than they can buy them off. Somo'ol the now men are sent here by the Knights ol Labor for the oxprsss purpose of ijuilting work when they got hero. " Do you expect the Weil Side men to strike 1" Oh , I suppose they will. " If their striking hinges on your making concessions to the North Side men , will they strike ) " "Yes. " "Should the West Side men strike , would you bo able to fill their places ! " "Yes , and quickly. We have had warning and wo are prepared for the emergency. Ap plications by letterlcontinuo to pour In , the largest number coming from Aurora , " "From strikers ( " "Don't know. " "Have any of you old men signified a de sire to return ! " "Yes ; many of them want to come bach very much , but say they are afraid of then fellow strikers , and that their presence on the cars would bo moro likely to incitQ violence lenco than new men. " Luke Coyne , president of the West Sidt car cmployc-j' association , sought an inter view with the baron in accordance with u resolution elution passed at their meeting last night , but Yerkes declined to treat with him am ! his committee for the reason that ho was not un employe. Ho then received a tele phone message from Mr , Coyne , asking if ; committee of seven would bo received froti the West side street car association. He re plied that he would receive the committee and shortly afterwards Mr. Coyno was an nounccd. "I ut once told him that I could no talk to him alone , " said Mr. Ycrkes , "bu would talk to the whole committee will pleasure. To this Mr , Coyne replied that hi would have to bo talked with , und alone , 01 the people would sco blood flowing in tin streets of Chicago. " Continuing on the subject of outside interference feronco , Yerkes said : "From what I hnvi lately discovered I am satisfied that Georgi Schilling is ut the bottom of all this trouble Schilling has been mixed up in ever ; labor trouble in this city for a num her of years. He has been uiixei up In all the stock yards strikes , in the \Ves Side strike , in the brewers' strike , and h had to sail close to the wind to keep cear o Implication in the anarchist troubles. II was Spies' proxy in the Van Xandt marriage If the Nortn Side people want to locate th responsibility for the suspension of strec trafllc they will not mistake if they place I on the shoulders of George Schilling , ai avowed socialist , and , I believe , nn avowoi anarchist. The headquarters , of. this mai are In the Arbeitor Zcltung ofilce , and I huv been given to understand that the 'demand of the men made on mo on September " were formulated in the Arbeltcr-Zeitun office. " To-night at 10:30 : p. m. the final decision ate to the extension of the strike , or possibly compromise of the whole matter , was treui bllng in the balance. For an hour und half the mayor , President Yerkes , nnd roprc sentativcs of the strikers had been in prlvat conference at the city hull. It was though by those in a position to obtain the best bin of what was going on that a good deal o local and state politics was being mixed u with the Issue , und that through Mayo Kocho a settlement satisfactory to the inc would be arranged. The conference iu the mayor's oflloe lasto until after midnight and ended in a disagree . ment. A concession was made by the shrill a coaccsAioa sfoUowcd'kfrom Presi aent Ycrkes. 'the president wanted n further concession by the men. The strikers declined to bafctt down further nnd the long conference cndud abruptly. From the may or's oftlcc the committee went to a meeting of the West Side ear men , where fiery speeches , advocating n strike , were being made. Up to l''J3 p. m. , however , no definite action toward the extension of the strike In the morning hftd b en taken , A resolution wn adopted by the city coun cil to-night ordexlup nn inquiry as to whether the North Sidti.cotnpany had not forfeited Its charter In failing Id. run cars during Satur day and Sunday , ' ' GOING TO , WASHINGTON .

( Special Telegram to Tun Hr.B. ] The republicans of Monomi county joined hands in n grand nnd enthusi astic gathering iu this city this afternoon. About seven hundred people attended , and the streets of the city wore alive all day with visitors. The Hon. .1. G. Hutchison , state senator from Wupello countyaddressed the meeting In the opera house and made nn able appeal in support of the American pro tective system and the principles of the re publican party. Ho was frequently cheered at the mention of the names of Harrison and Morton , and his speech was Heartily appreci ated. Hon. Addison Oliver , of this county , and other prominent men also spoke brielly. The meeting Is one that has done a greatdeal of good for the party in this locality. The New Ijliior ( | Imiv. IES MOIXKS , la. , Oct. S. [ Special to Tin ; llui ; . ] Grc.it interest is taken in this vicin ity over the operation of the new liquor law. As registered pharmacists alone can handle the sale of liquor now , and us permits can only be granted by the Judge of the district court , a great responsibility is put upon him. Judge Given , of this district , has so fur granted but ten penults for DCS Moinos. Ho wrote n long decision , giving his reasons for denying the application of others and grant- lug those that lie did. He has figured the matter down to a mathematical basis , esti mating just about how many gallons of spirits ought to bo used for medicinal pur poses , for compounding medicines nnd for chemical uses , and divided the amount , pro rut 11 , among the population , and then figured in the number of druggists who would bo necessary to supply this demand. Ho thinks that for the present ten distributed over the oily would bo about the right number. He has refused to grant a permit to any druggist in the same build ing with n hotel. Several of this kind ap plied , but he thinks that such stores opcnlug into hotels ufTord means for the illegal sale of liquors , and are likely to lead to violations of law. bo the hotel drug store must go dry. There is no doubt that several such stores have Bold largo quantities of liquor lor drink ing purposes right along since prohibition went into cited. Guests in some instances could send down for all the bocr or whisky they wanted. The judge evidently fears that this practice would be continued and so cuts off all hotel drug stores without permits. The Minister Wan All R < K > it. DnsMoiNis , la. , Oct. S. [ Special to T n Br.E. ] Several months ago an interesting test case was carried to the supreme court from the district court of Palo Alto county. The case was that of n Methodist minister who had been active in enforcing the pro hibitory law by securing injunctions against saloon keepers. One ol the latter had him arrested on the charge that ho had voted and bus been acting as n citf/.on when he was not A citizen , claiming that as ho was u minister under the itinerant system of the Methodist church subject to removal at any time by the bishop , that therefore ho did not .acquire a legal residence at any place at "which he iiiicht bo stationed. It was a new and rather audacious point to raise , but the supreme court has passed upon it and decided , as was expected , that all ministers are citizens when possessing the ordinary qualifications of citizenship and therefore entitled to vote and prosecute cases the same as any other citizen under the same conditions. Political Joint Discussions. Dns Moixr.sOct. 8. [ Special to TUB Br.n.J The joint discussion seems to be a favorite feature of politics in Iowa this year , many such discussions between representatives of both parties being held.

Yesterday the followine list of letters was secured. Some of them were to hnvo boon delivoredon Turtle's route , others from the oltlce ; some were cribbed before they had gone through the postolllce , while some were caught us they were passing through.

There is also a letter addressed to the chashier of the New Orleans National bank , the stamp on which has not been cancelled. Inspector Urown has Turtle's written con fession which is supported by the evidence adduced above. The impression prevails that the letters Turtlebas gotten away with are many in num ber , because of the great inquiries which have of late been made for missing mail matter.
