Colonel O. C. Sabln arrived yesterday
on the early "Q.1 train from Chicago. He
went directly to the Pnicton hotel , whore ho
lias had a room for several months , but ho
did not register. Ho had desired M much as
possible to avoid attention , but the publica
tion of the oplsodo of Monday in Tuosdny
evening's UBE apprised nil his acquaintances
hero of the domestic difllculty which had
OTcrtakcn iiim. Later ho madu his appear
ance on the street's , called on several friends
in the heart of the city , nnd still Inter re
turned to the hotel. There ho was found by
n IttiF. reporter In room 01. He was in the
company of a friend from Ucatrico , whoso
name Is withheld ,
The room was in disorder. Trunk trays
fltled with undorrlotlimg , toilet articles ,
knick knacks , letters , books , pampnlets nnd
papers were on the chairs and floors , while
n miscellaneous collection of otiicr articles
littered tlio Hour , The colonel was engaged
in packing his trunk , an occupation In which
ho did In a mechanical manner , misplacing
tilings frequently , then rooting them out
again , seine times from the bottom of the re
ceptacle , and replacing them with ejacula
tions , which established the faul that tlio
mind of the gentleman was engrossed by
more important subjects.
A box of cigars had Just boon delivered to
him. lie lore off the wrnppur.uim it in the
grate. With a Hash it was consumed. He
opened the box in nn engrossed manner ,
handed Tun Unit representative u cigar , and ,
as if divining tlio hitter's intention , said ;
"Thoro was a woman I loved more than my
life. It 1ms worked upon my mind and last
night 1 thought I would die of grief as 1 was
coming here. I'll show you a letter. "
Hero the colonel handed' the newspaper
man the loiter which was referred to ill
Tuesday's Br.i : . It was inclosed in a wnito
envelope , which bore the Inscription :
"To my husband , O. C. Sabln. " The com
munication was written in an Indifferent
hand , evidently feminine , an run as follows :
OMAHA , Nob. , Nov. 12 , ISiS.My Dear
Husband : The confession 1 uiado to ynu to
day was not full , and my honrt was so full of
Kricf that I could not tell you all at that time ,
but now ut this lonely hour of the night as
you In ) * sleeping in that bed , and 1 thinic of
the great wrong that lias been done you and
our children , nnd greatest of all to mo , I
want to tell you before I die tlio truth about
mo and Arthur M. Stone.
Some time hut spring , I can't think now
for my poor head hurts me so , 1 was in his
ofllea having my tooth fixed , it wus very sore ,
that It hurt mo BO that I asked him
to give mo something to ease the pain , lie
put .something on ills handkerchief , which
helped and cased tlio pain. After he got
through , I seemed to love him and laid my
head upon his breast , and ho took
' me in his arms. 1 did not
do or think of wrong until it was too late to
save your honor , my poor Ol. As God is my
judgc.nnd i hope to sco you all there , I did
not want to do wrong- , but ho toolc tlio ad-
vantugc of me. Ol , I never wanted to do
wrong any more , but he forced mo to come
to him many times , and , Ol , I ncvor intended
I that you should know it , and I intended tn
keep it secret from your happiness , but the
lust time I saw you , Just n few days before
. i * - * * * *
you. cuuio to me ,
But , oh , my Ol. , if you know tlio truth
you could not blame me , for I have always
loved you better than anything on earth. I

and gone , the truth , and so you may tell our
children , Ol. , that their mother was a Kood
woman. God bless you , my darling. Your

Het'ore the letter had been copied by the
reporter , J. W. Hylor.Colonel Sabin's attor
ney , entered the apartment and asked :
"Colonel , where nro yciu going ? "
"I am going back to Chicago. I returned
thlb morning from there. A friend of mine
whom I had requested to look out for facts
telegraphed mo and I found the dispatch
when I arrived that the napors there had
published what purported to bo the other
side of the question , and I am going back. 1
want to bo there to face the matter , to fight
it ut short range In defense of my charac
ter. "
"U'hat is it the papers say nbout tlio col
onel ! " asked the attorney of Tim Bui :
JIUlll.
JIUlll.The latter replied m substance as con
tained in the dispatch printed above.
"This is a coaspiraoyontorcd into between
nly wife and Dr. Stone to make it appear
Unit 1 wanted to get rid of my wifo. I loved
iliy wife dearly , and had nn thoughts of leav
ing her until tlio circumstances arose which
now compel mo to take my present stand. "
"That is so , " interjected tlio attorney ,
"and I know It. "
"How did you become acquainted with the
fuels , " inquired the reporter.
"Because on tlio morning of the receipt of
that letlor , Colonel Sabin called for mo and
j'equcsted mo to Hie a petition for divorce. I
jlrow up the petition , submitted it to him and
at was satisfactory. "
"WhnUiuve you done with the petition ! "
"I Illed it Wednesday morning last , u week
ngo , and requested tlio cleric to keep it out of
f ho newspapers until I informed him it was
time to make it public. "
"On what ground was the petition based i"
nskcd the BIK : man.
"Adultery , " was the answer. "Mrs.
Sabin oven entered her appearance in tlio
j case. I read the petition to her , and she
signed it. I asked if the allegations were
Irtio , nnd she said , 'Thoy are. ' "
i "What have you to say to the charge that
you forced the confession from your wife ! "
Colonel Subin was asked.
"I'll toll you all about it. I had planned a
vrlntor trip for my wife nnd family to
Florida. 1 had never planned a trip witli
greater anticipation of pleasure In my life.
Wo were in Elgin at the time. My wife , my
non and myself came hero to make arrange-
incuts for the trip. "
"Yes sir , and ho showed mo nil the passes
lie had provided for It , " added the attorney.
'Wo arrived In town Just a week ago to
day , or yesterday , I don't remember which.
wo stopped right hero In this room. I slept
on tlio lounge , my little boy riglit over there
near the wall , and my wlfo in the bed.
"I never know a thing about that letter
Until I awoke in the morning. It was l ing
lust like that | Indicating ] on the table so
that I could see it when I awoke. I read it
nnd was dazed. 111 ill not know what to do ,
but thoughts crowded upon mo of killing the
) nun mentioned in It. 1 had not suspected
lay wife of Infidelity , though buforo Unit I
Imd good reason to bullovo that thorn WUK
Bomothing wrong. Hull kept my fears to
myself.
"When I read my wife's ' letter , I know
that the physicians had told tliu truth , but
lip to that moment 1 hud never HUHpoctoil my
vifo. I asked her if she knew what she hud
Written. She said slio did , and asserted
again it was true. But she had no intention
of doing wrong. She might have thrown
her arms nbout Stone's neck , but It meant
nothing in her condition. Ho afterwards
threatened to toll other men what hail hap
pened if she refused.
"Well , that of course knocked our trip on
the head. I Immediately notlllcd my attor
ney of the fuel , and told him tp do what bo
lias uuid ho did. "
"It Is elaiuod that tills trouble was
brought nbout so that you might abandon
yoilr wlfo for your dork I"
"That Is another proof of tlio conspiracy.
There is no truth in the story. That morn
ing , wticn 1 found the letter , my wlfo tele
phoned the lady "
"Wholsshol" asked the rerortor. ,
"Sho U living with bur sister , a married
onuui , the wlfo of one of the beat-known
tiuslncss men of this city , Ho is a member
of tlio Jlrm of ' & [ name sup

occurred to east a shade over it. As I was
eaying , my wlfo telephoned Mrs. V. that
morning. They had boon Intiuintoand I know
that my wlfo had conllded her Infidelity to
her , bcruuso the momoni Mrs , V. read the
letter , she Jutunoil on me claiming that I
Imd extorted the confession from my wife. I
denied the statement , and that ended my
communication witli that lady ,
"Well , I had to go to Chicngo , nlid wo all
together. Ucforo wo reached there ,
the woman Induced mo lo abandon my Intent
of eoing to Elgin , to leave the cusa tftko Its
qnfct way to avoid publicity. They sug
gested that I go alone to l-'londa
and give the matt.T tlnn to bo
sMtlrd nnd hnvi tno forget it.
"Well , I auTPC'l. Wo iv.i' lio'i Chicniro nn I

sas City , but all the way there I wn" on lire.
I couldn t continue my trip. And I concluded
to return , and I did. I reached Chicago on
Monday and took the llr.it train for
Elgin. And the papers have told the rest.
If I had killed the nmii , ns I
had Intended to , bccauv ; 1 wflnt there loaded
for bear , this bl.iclceninu of my chnraotor
would have been avoided. It has been fixed
since. My wife , this other woman , the doe-
tor have fixed up the job , tills man en
tered my lieu o in Klgln , occupied my room
nnd polluted it and destroyed my happi
ness ! "
This sentence wiU delivered most em
phatically and the speaker seemed tilled with
emotion.
"How longhavo the relations you speak of
been maintained I'1 nsited the reporter.
"Siuco the nth of last February. "
"And Mrs. V. xvhal do you know nbout
her ! "
"Mrs. V'R husband was the csshlor when I
was manager and secretary of the Insurance
company In Beatrice , ot which you know.
Her husband was taken sick with typhoid
fever and dlo'd. Slid did ofllco work
with sixteen other women and worked until I
commenced to have no need for thorn. She
was the Jirst discharged. She came to
Omaha to live witli tier sister , Whoa I
became general agent of the Fidelity Mutual
I lfo association of Philadelphia , with olllces
in the Paxton , I had her to do work for mo
because 1 know her to bo thoroughly honest ,
competent and reliable. I lived at her sister's
house until my friends suggested a change
nol on moral grounds , however nnd came
to this hotel bcL'auso my friends said that I
could meet more people In my business. It
is perfectly nbsurd to have my name men
tioned in this mutter witli her , "
Colonel Sabin then Instanced a couple of
cases to strengthen his theory of conspiracy
between the trio , mono of which could bear
publicity.
By this time the colonel had almost finished
his packing , and the attorney took his de
parture to meet the former as the B. & M.
train pulled Out this afternoon for Chicago.
The reporter then retired.
Tlio petition for divorce referred to above
alleges that Sabin was married to his present
wife January 4 , ISOt ; thilt ho has conducted
himself as a faithful husband , nnd that on
April 1 , l SS , and on the third of November
of this year the defendant committed adul
tery with Dr , A. Stone.
ELGIN IS SCANDALIZED.
Society People Profoundly Agitated
hy tlio Snhln-stonc Sensation.
The following telegram was received yes
terday , forming the second chapter in the
domestic infelicity of Colonel 0. C. Sabin , of
t his city.
Ki.dix , III. , Nov. 21. [ Special Telegram to
Tun BIIE.J Tlio affray between Lawyer
Sabin and Dr. A N. Stone on Monday after
noon has brought to light the gravest scan
dal that has'visited this quiet city for years.
The families of both Dr. Stone and Mrs.
Sabin belong with the oldest nnd most
respected residents. Whoa tlio Chicago
paiiors containing Sabin's story tola to n re
porter Monday night came hero yesterday
great excitement prevailed. Dr. Stone was
seen and denied in tne most positive terms
that he had been guill/of any wrong doing.
The first he heard of the matter was last
Friday , when Mr. Wnldron came to him
with a telegram from Mrs. Sabln announc
ing her arrival in Elgin. Going to see her
Waldron learned she had , while in Omaha ,
signed a paper oaecusing Dr. Stone of the
offense charged. The doctor , of course ,
entered an unqualified denial to - Waldron.
Monday afternoon Sabln came and insisted
on Stone golmr to Waldron's ' with him in a
hack. Stoao did so , and on alighting from
the vehicle in front of the residence Sabin
attacked him. Ho did not inflict severe
injury , however , simply scratching the doe-
tors face. The hackmau interfered and sep
arated them.
A reporter called oa Mrs. Sabin , who was
found to bo a lady of about forty years of
age , shapely of figure , though not attractive
in faee. She charged that the scandal was
all uuo to a woman who has been clerking in
Sabin's'oftlco in Beatrice. She thinks it'was
her husband's desire to get rid of her on ac
count df his liking for the clerk.
'And you did , nevertheless , sign the
Omaha confession I" said the reporter.
"Yes , C signed it. "
"Why * "
"Because nly husbaml'forcodmo to do so. "
"Is the charge against the doctor true ? "
"No ; it is false. "
'Then why did you make it ? "
"Because I was out of my senses. I would
have donn anything lie bade mo do. "
Airs. Subin then told her story at length.
Some months ago.ulthough ho had previously
boon kind , her husband began to torture her.
Il < ; would tell her. she says , that ho never
loved her and now hated her , begging her to
got A-divorce , R' she was m the way of his
pleasure and political advancement.
She refused. .As to her hus
band's influence over her , Mrs.
Sabin said she could not explain , She must
do what ho told her , and would die for h mi
if he said so. Her physician , who was pres
ent , described ' it us the power of a strong
will over oim'wenkcr. Thus she wus im
pelled to sign the alleged confession. Ho
fixed upon Stone as tlio scapegoat , and
dictated to her what to write. She yielded
as she has always yielded to him.
Mp > . Sabin described to a reporter her last
trip from Onmhu. She and her husband and
their son and the lady clerk occupied a sec
tion. After ills assault on Dr. Stone ho
came to see her , kissed her , and then de
scribed the scone , and how ho had drawn the
doctor's blood.
Mrs. Sabln has made an affidavit entirely
exonerating Stone. Her relatives , prominent
people , stand by her , nnd Stone's family by
him. Tlio Sabins have an Interesting family ,
a daughter of eighteen in a convent ut
Omaha , and sons of sixteen and fourteen
years hero. Years ago Snbln kept a dollar
store here , llo is now attorney for the
Chicago , Murllngton & Quiney.railroad.

the court , and the boy , too , was sent to the
reform school.

isrms-Apoi.is , Nov. 31. The unread com
ntunlentlon from Philadelphia to the general
assembly of the Knights of T < abor roirarillno
Barry's charge , that district assembly 7-1 , ol
ISnst Saginnw , Mich. , had been dissolved to
defeat him , caused the Introduction and
adoption of n motion for the appointment
of n committee lo investigate the
methods of the general ofnVes. This action
was taken after n good deal of debate , anil
the still more troublesome question arose ua
to who would appoint the committee. Pow-
derly being one of those who would bo inves
tigated , refused to take the responsibility.
It was suggested that he appoint one , thai
another bo appointed byV. . T. Lewis , of the
miners' assembly , who is regarded as Pow-
derly's chief opponent , and that the third
member bo selected by those two , but the
suggestion was lint adopted. The Investi
gating committed will bo appointed , but the
method of appointment lias not been decided
upon.
Airs. I. , M. Barry introduced a resolution
to place tlio general assembly on record a ?
being In favor of compulsory education , ami
looking to the adoption of measuics for agi
tating the question. She further desired ac
tion by locnl assemblies , which should bo re
duced to printing on blanks , to bo used b >
tlio legislative committee in attempting tc
bring nbout the desired end.
To conclude the afternoon , the appeal case
of Harry J. Skofllny ton , of Cincinnati , was
taken up. , Ho had boon called for trial fet
villifying onicers of the order.
lion , T. Harry is still in the city. Ho will
begin active operations on tlio stump for his
new order with n lecture in this city Frl
day iHght , and will follow it up by an nd
dress in Cincinnati Saturday night. To an
Associated press correspondent concerning
the latest action of the convention , he said :
' 'By the action of the general assembly in
conferring upon tlio general master work
man the autocratic powers of tlio C7.ar , the
goal of Powderly ambition has been reached.
It remains' to bo seen whether the people
who hold memberships In the Knights ol
Labor will quietly submit to tlio action taken
by their misreprescntatives in handing ovct
to the CUIK of their own creation nil the
rights and privileges of their own American
niunhood. It is no longer an organization oi
free men , but one that , invites voluntary
servitude on the part of its membership. "
THE COUNCIL.
Hascall's New City irill : Scheme is
Dnaniiiiotisty Adopted ,
Pursuant to a special call the city council
met in session lust night. At 8 o'clock Pres
ident Bcchel called the member. * to order ,
nnd it was found that fourteen responded ,
Contrary to expectations the proceedings
were very tame , the opposition to Council
man Hascall's ordinance weakening at the
last moment.
The instrument introduced by Mr. Hascall
was read a third time nnd adopted. It pro
vides for the erection of a city hall at a cost
of f rom -iCiOO.OOO -iOOO.OPO. . payment to bo
effected by the issuance of twenty year
bonds , that , shall bear interest at the rate oi
( > per cent. Tlio question of a site ii to be
decided by the people at an election to be
held December 4. Two localities are men
tioned in the ordinance , i. o. , Jefferson
Square , or lots 5 nnd ( i in block 110 nt the
northeast corner of Furnam and Eighteenth
streets ,
The passage of this ordinance was effected
without a demurer , Councilman Lee said that
sooner than jeopardize tlio chance of secur
ing a city hull , those in favor of the Farnum
street site would withdraw their opposition ,
beliuviug that tlio electors would adjust tlio
matter satisfactorly' .
Councilman Huseull replying to Mr. Leo
said that lie had conliucnca also that the
citi/.cns of Omaha would settle the difficulty
in a satisfactory manner ; that they would
support the erection of u liullding that would
be a credit to the city. Tlio original plans ,
ho' desired to say , included a nice little steal
on the part of certain interested people of
six or seven feet of land. They would have
110116 of that now. Besides this no "foreign"
architect from Detroit would have the ma
nipulation of the plans. We had as good
draughtsmen in Omnlia as there were in nny
city , and , there would be no necessity of
paying , them { > each time they wanted to
have a look at the plans.
Upon motion of Hnscall the use of the
council chamber was grunted for the use of
thacltizens to hold a public meeting next
Saturday evening to discuss tlio question of
the site for the city hull.
Several ordinances were read a third time
and adopted. At 8:15 : p. in. , upon motion ,
tb6 council adjourned , the proceedings hav
ing lusted exactly fifteen minutes.
TIIK STKVKNS MUSICAtiE.
It Attracts n TmrKO nnd Fashloiinblt !
Audience to the ttoyd.
The Stevens musienlc last night attracted
a large and exceedingly fashionable audience
to the Boyd opera hause. Miss Stevens was
assisted by Madame Kellogg Bachcrt ,
soprano , and Mr. Martin Knhn , accom
panist , Tlio greater portion of the pro
gramme contained numbers that had been
specially composed for and dedicated to Miss
Stevens. In addition to tlibfo there wore ex
cerpts from Hubonstein , llnch and others of
the old , old masters. Tlio program mo in its
compilation wus abominable. There was no
head or tail to it , and it toolc Miss Stevens
all her time to pick her way through tlio
faulty composition. Tlio average spectator
was lost completely in this labyrinth of
errors. It is four yours since Miss Stevens
appeared before an Oinalia audience. Her
reception lust night must hrvo been gratify
ing in tlio extreme. Her execution demon
strated careful study and an increased re
search into tlio intricacies of her profession.
In the "Gavotte , " by Buch St. Saons , and
the "Caprico Kspangnol , " written by ftlos/-
kov.'ski , dedicated to Miss Stevens , the
capacity of the player was thoroughly appre
ciated u.v the audience. Nothing could bo
more delicately handled than Uubcnstcin's
"Brooksldo. " Miss Stevens' lingering is
described by these who were privileged to
hoar her four years ago us being vastly Im
proved. Shn sits at her instrument like an
artist nnd displays the repose so necessary in
upublla performer , but unfortunately so sel
dom discovered , Her entire work lust ni lit
wus a musical treat not to bo readily for
gotten ,
Mndamo Kellogg Hnehort sang excellently ,
nnd Mr. Calm's accompaniments were ren
dered faultlessly.

New YOIIK , Nov. 21. The Swedish ship
Edward , loaded with iron ore , has Just ar
rived from Havre , and a remarkable story Is
told by Urn officers and crew of n liair-raising
encounter with im olivtrlcnl storm. The
captain snys : "Tho WMthor had been dirty
and ugly. AttMin : ! the morning the men
wore bracing the main-yards when their
work was interrupted by u loud crash of
thunder and an explosion which sounded to
us llko the ivporl of a thousand cannon. The
lightning struck the main rigging directly
over the men , and nt tin' < anu > moment a ball
of fire , Just like a shell , bobbed about tlio
rigging and then exploded.Vhon the ball
of lire exploded streaks of Maine darted in
every direction , ft was Just like the fall
ing of stars. For miloH around the sea wan
illuminated , and every cord in our rigging
shone like Htramls of silver. Tlio brilliancy
was but moinentarv , and we wore loft ( n
darkm-ss. In less than llvu miniitiM nnd before
fore wo could recover from the shock of the
previous bolt , another turriblo Hush of light
ning , followed by nn explosion of another
ball of Mrc , sent us scurrying in every direc
tion for shelter. U'o worn all thoroughly
friiihtonod The orew could not do any
work. Hut our fc.irs and astonishment
wore destined to bo still further in
creased , .lust as wo were getting on
our feet again and thanking God that wo
had escaped with our lives , there was another
thrilling display. 1 was standing on the
quarter-deck and the men wore nbout to
again nt tempi tn brace the mam-yards
Suddenly , nnd with a terrible Round , n Hash
of lightning broke riirht nbnvo the main rig
ging , and out of it we could see another ball
of tire playing above the rigging from tlio
starboard side , right over to tlio port sldo.
It , too , exploded , but with a noise and
sc.ittoring of llaming fragments which sank
the previous ones into comparative insignia1
enuce. I was dazed , and when 1 recovered
sight and sense not one of my men was on
his feet. The whole crew was prostrate ,
BOUIO tumbling about on top of each other ,
some crying with fear nnd others stretched
on their backs as though they hail been
struck dead. As soon as the crew was able
to get around I made a thorough examination
of the vessel nnd rigging. It was not injured
in the least and showed no signs whatever of
the awful fusiladc. "

but this sum has already been appro

The bureau recommends the im
mediate construction of experimental
works to cost $00,01)0 ) , for use in the determination -
termination of resistance and other
qualities of ships by means of models.
The report says that the old sioop-of-
wur Hartford can bo repaired for $175-
000 , and would be valuable for serviea
as a cruiser for several years. lie adds
that her past record an Admiral Farrn-
gut's flagship endears bur to the Amer

her usefulness ns a cruiser she should bo
preserved as a receivingsbipasa monument

Tools arc now being delivered to the
Now Vorlc and Norfolk yards , and tjio
chief constructor says that wo shall HOOII

equipped for building steam and iron
vessels of war of every si/.o and typo.
Of the Maw Island ( .California ) yard , ho
says that being the only one on the Pa
cific const it is now being filled with a
complete outfit of ship-building tools.
The climate is such that it is perfectly
practicable to conduct ship building
without the shelter of ship houses.

" Oh certainly. '
" 'Islmll bo so glad. '
"I look her Iwenty and gave her my

called for a ticket to Detroit. The
ticket-seller threw the twenty back

" 'That bill wus offered hero five min
