Marrow , of the bureau of pen- swns at Washington , D. C. , Instructing him to look oat for and arrest on Charles A. Marshall , who pretends to bxs an officer of the United States government , and on the strength of this has been swindling ignorant people , particularly negroes , in various parts ol the country. He sometimes represents himself as being of the \xmd auditor's of. fioe , and sometimes of the pension bureau , and after making a colUvtion guarantee that th person duped will receive notice of their pention being granted inside of ten days , Marshall i * a mulatto , but so little is the negro apparent in him that he readily p&s for avhita person.

A Ij.iruo Meeting of It * Ueprcscnta- titeYostrnlay. . The labor convention which met at ate City hall Sunday , was called to order shortly after ' . ' 30 , and after the election of a ihairman and secretary , tho.meeting imme diate ! ) proceeded to business. It was de cided that none should bo allowed to remain in the hall but those who were members of labor organltations , and a door keeper was appointed wtth instructions to announce the names of all applicants for admission and if vouched for by a well-known member of a labor organisation ho was to bo ad mitted. This precaution was thought to bo necessary in order to prevent | x > litical heelers from interfering with the meeting in the in terest of candidates. A legislative committee was appointed of five members to co-operate with a smuliar committee previously appointed by thn Joint assemblies of the Knights of Labor for the. purpose of drafting bills , and other recom mendations to bo presented to the next legis lature. The following preamble and resolution was adopted. Whereas , We believe that the maintenance of a private detective force is a relic of the barbarous ages when individuals used such force to protect their ill-gotten gains ; and Wnereas , We believe that the maintaining of such a force in this country rotiect * upon the dignity and ability of our government to protect it > citizens and their property ; and U hcreas. We believe that the importing of such private detective force , responsible only to their employer , into any community , sub jects our citizens to insult and assault at the hands of such forces , and thereby incites our otherwise lawjabuhng eitirons to act * of violence lence which alwajs result in prejudicing the public mind against the first demands of our people from great emplo.ving corporations who employ said detective force ; therefore , be it Hcsolved , That wo demand at the hands of the Donglas county representatives to the senate and house of representatives of Ne braska that receive our support , the enact ment of such laws as will prohibit forever the importation or empliment of an\ pri vate detective force in this sute to act in an omci.il capacity for the mamtainaneo of peace or protection of property in this state , and also laws which shall prevent from act ing in the capacity of henff , deputy sheriff or constable , nay person not a resident for at least six months in the place , when such ser vice is required , unless ho. be'a state or national officer. The following measures , together \vlth the above resolution , were referred to the coi - nnttoo on legislation with instructions to re port at a meeting to be held at U. A. K. hall next Thursday evening. The reival , oral least somolimitation upon the convirt contract labor law , passed at the last session of the legislature. A more perfect child labor law. Enlargement ol the functions of the bu reau of labor statistics. A reform in our voting laws by which the power may bo taken from the machine politi cians and that will prevent the necessity of the vast expenditures by candidates for of fice in order to secure election. A better law for the indemnification of workmen in case of injury from accident * , whether through the carelessness of em ployes , or not. A law that \\ill prevent cornering on gambling in the necessaries of life A committee was appointed to write artl- cies for publication m the press advocating the Just claims of labor from now until the next session of the. legislature. The legislative ticket was instructed to prepare a law compelling the settlement of strtKes by arbitration and providing a pen alty in case either side refuse to arbitrate , T the credit of the men composing the meeting in must be said that tile best of har mony and gxxxt feeling1 prevailed throughout , notwithstanding the many political elements repre.scc.tcid.

"If I'm not very much mistaken you'll find that D. E.

Cook , of the Cook Hemcdy company \\aslockt\i up in the central station with common felons yesterday on a charge of obvaming goods under fale pretenses. C'larles Carter is the complainant. The story gleaned from prosecutor and defendant is tliis Carter had been cured of a disease by the use of one of Cook's remedies and he decided to purchase the reci | > e from the com pany and go to the far west and set up in business for himself. Ho accordingly offered his elegant gold watch , set with diamonds and valued at { AO. a cluster diamond pin worth ano'.herflOO and a solitaire diamond mend ring worth about ? 125. all for the formula by which the remedy was made. The offer was accepted and a piece of paper given to Carter containing the secret remedy. When he read i ho was first astonished and then angered by the simplicity of the pre scription and now believes that he has been duped and grossly swindled out of his ele gant jeivelry. He therefore swore o Jt a war rant for Cook's arrest and at 11 o'clock vester- da > that gentleman was arrested. He will be tried Wednesday at 2 p. m.

BENSON CARMICHAEL , _ 1519 Farnam St. A Slancleil Little One. As a little colored boy of about ten years , named Johnny Givens , was playing about the cars near the Webster street depot , he had one of his feet crushed. His escape from death was almost miraculoui. He and another boy named Charley Root were on ton of some flat cars which were in motion , when young Hoot jumped from ono carte to another. Johnny tried to follow but did not spring far enough , and he fell between the cars. Fortunatclj he landed on one side of the track and his right foot was the only part of him that lay on the rail. In half a second the wheels had passed over this foot , crushing it. The little fellow got up and attempted to hop home on the other foot but fainted away before he proci-eded but a few rods. He was then car ried to his home , 1537 Cummg street , Shot on the Shoulder. It was reported that a woman was shot in a cab in front o ! the People's theatre Sunday c\enmg , but the participants in the affray hurried from the scene so quickly that all the details ciu'd not ba learned. The woman was one of easy virtue and the fellow with her was drunk and swinging a revolver around pro- miscuousl.v in the hack , when it accidentally ex-ploded. The ball just grazed tbe shoulder of the woman , cutting her sealskin saoquc and dress and making the slightest scratch on her shoulder. The party drove hurriedly away before any person could learn wno they were. Military Xotes. Eight companies of the second infantry and the band will take part in the exercises to day in connection with the opening of the bridge.

A IllUKOr.S HUMAN. A Shattered Intellect aud Would-Hc uloldc. In the short space of four hours yesterday Joe Hear , a raging maniac , was guilty of the crimes of arson and atte mpted suicide , and at present he is chained to the bars of a cell in the central station with his hands far apart , so that he can do neither himself nor anybody else any injury. All day the corn- dors of the Jail have rung with' his fierce yells and rneamngness gibberish. Ho is to be turned over to tbe county commissioners for examination. Hear has been a common object on the streets , and has been in the police dock a number of times on the charge of vagrancy and drunk enness. Ho is of short stature , small fea tured , and has no nose , the only apology ho has for such an organ being a couple ol holes in his face. Ho has a short , thin beard , and is in everv way a most repulsive-looking ob ject , more suggestive of an animal than a human. He has always had a small stock of intelligence , and that modicum appears to have been lost. For two or three nights the family of Charles Pontz , living at 1MM Webster street , took pity on him and gave bun food and lodging , but when his lu nacy became apparent , they becama afraid of him and Sunday night when he came as usual , he was given food but refused lodg ing. This threw him into a passion and he left raving incoherently. D About 3:30 : yesterday members of the the Ponu family awakened Justin time to discover their building on lire and outstdo they saw the hideous maniac dancing In a wild and grotesque manner and giving vent to peals of insane laughter A few nuckets of water extinguished the flames. Near the house stood an empty kerosene can and a few shavings showing the cause of the fire. The police were sent for and the maniac was tacen to tne central station. About b 30 Uutler , the janitor , caught him in the act of attempting suicide. The madman had taken a strong scarf , tied it about his neck , stepped up on the benches , and tied it to the highest cross-bar. When the Janitor appeared he was Just on the point of Jumpiu ? off and end ing his life. Butler gave the alarm , and the Jailer and a couple of officers rushed to the rescue m time to save the maniac from self- destruction After a fierce struggle they succeede.1 in untiing the si-arf from his neck. He wa > then put m irons and chained as above described. Change MeMastcr .t Dryden , general store dealers , Castana. Iowa , have madu an assignment to the amount of $ io.
