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. Bishop Newman
Vvo have mot before , und in circumstance !
QultcJlftoront from these. It was my hone
to represent the state of Nebraska in tin
'tJulted ' States senate , at the time you wen
Its chojilain , and 1 must say the duties iu
tumbent upon you in the discharge of thu
service , were by no means slight , for a bod1
Of United Stutes senators need care am
\vatchfulncs3. Since that time it has bcci
tny fortune to bo the chief executive of th !
tntc , and you have become Its bishop. 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. "
. § 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

'fetltucnts , and what bus been said to mo thl

Twenty years ago I was iu Omaha , butOh ,
what an Omuha it was In comparison with

thcro am but three cities in the Unitotl
States , New York.Omahn and S.ui Francisco.
It may bo said that in the appointment of
bishops , fourteen had their choice
of places before It became my
turn , nnd when It fell to
me to choose. Nebraska ntld Texas were the
only places left , [ laughter ] , I chose. Ne

what I can in whatever work lies before me.
While in.1 chief work Is that of n minister of
the gospel , I am hero also as a citizen , in the
rights of which creeds and religion must not
Interfere. I shall not state what my politics

and that I have unso enough not to go back

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

POOH FACILITIES.
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

NORTH SIDE STRIKERS QUIET.
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

CIIICAOO , OcU 8. Ueceiver Trucsdale of
the Minneapolis & St- Louis road has written
to Chairman Abbott , accusing the Wisconsin
Central of violating the new agreement of
the northwestern passenger association. It
appears that ono of Mr. Truesdale's agents
purchased a second-class ticket nt the Wis

Chicago , for fS , which is $1 less than the
agreed rate. In contspquence of this discovery
Mr. Truesdalc declines to be longer bound to
the agreement , and announces that he will

necessary to moot cdmpotitiou. It is feared
that passenger rates will again become de

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.

The joint discussion seems to be a favorite
feature of politics in Iowa this year , many
such discussions between representatives of
