During the progress of the trial of Katto
Culnlnn yesterday the testimony of Roddy
% Vilson became necessary , and Judge Chap
man issued the necessary orders upon Warden -
don Hopkins. It was not obeyed , however ,
to suit the taste of the court , nnd service for
arraignment for contempt was run upon him.
But lie appeared this morning and made sat
isfactory explanation to the Judge , and his
nctlon in the matter was formally excused.
lie stated in sub3tancethat [ ho had conferred
with his superiors , nnd was ready now or at
piiy tlmo to obey the mandate of the court.
' Mlko Qainlan , the last of the gang of
Kvhlch ho Is said to have been the head , has
teen on trial for burglary since early morn
ing. The state made Its case this forenoon ,
resting in bdof at the dinner hour.
It is said that the defence will
bo submitted nnd the other oases
to the Jury this afternoon. The success of
the defense in Katies' cuso loads to the bo-
llof that Mlko will got off with n light son-
toneo at most. Many of the citizens of Lin
coln seemed to think that both the husband
pml wife wore doomed for the pen for a ser
ies of years , and the finding of the Jury last
night was the source of considerable sur
prise. Mlko , however , is having a harder
road to travel , and it Is hardly possible that
lie will bo acquitted , yet his lawyers are
making a determined light for his liberty.
JSo is certainly on the ragged odgo.
The story that Mary Bremen tried to take
the lifo of her child Is not well grounded. It
Is true , howuvcr , that she made some unnat
ural threats , in a moment of violent passion ,
tout this is all there is to the story. The court
would not have been satisfied , It Is said , to
have let her oil with n sentence of thirty days
in the county Jail , hud she boon guilty of an at
tempt upon the life of her off spring. Harring
ton Is not blameless In this unfortunate his.
tory.anct Mary's actions have been looked upon
with n great deal of leniency , Hut it goes
without saying that the scenes of to-day anil
last ovcning have been rather spicy in nnd
about the court room. Still tho.v are without
tragedy or anything bordering that way.
The second court hoard the case of John
W. Ivos vs. A. J. Coonoy ot nl. this morning.
The case had to do with the foreclosure of a
realty mortgage. Plaintiff inudo his case and
in default of Kmma R. Copsoy and others ,
judgment was rendered for the mortgagee in
the sum of fo,075.50 , and an order of foreclosure -
closure was mado. Motions only were hoard
this afternoon.

A rOINTKU 7O SHiri'ERS ,
"I am surprised , " remarked a prominent
lawyer of Lincoln , to-day , "that sotno of our
hippcrs don't get after the stute board of
transportation , on the question of rates , and
compel it to act. The ruinous charges made
'by the roads In the stain for freight trans.
Variation U such that decided action is war
ranted. "
"How can It bo donot ' queried THE BEB
representative.
'Why , any shipper can go baforo Iho
l > oard , setting up a proper complaint , show
the Justness of the Iowa rates nnd the Ine
quality existing between that stuto and this ,
o far OH freight charges nro concerned , ana
then If the board refusal to act go before the
uuprcmo court and commence an action In
toandamus , I'll wager a silk tllo that will
bring mutters to u foout. It is an easy thing
( u > RIVO connects ! ! history of freight rate *
existing in Iowa and the necessary compari
son between rates there and hero. Tlio tes
timony of n dozun shippers of Iowa und a
like number of Nebraska will do the work.
The schedule of rates is really enough , but
a little oral testimony will do no harm. It
will only rnako matters the stronger. A dose
of medicine from the supreme court vvill set
tilings on llro in no tune , and you mark my
words , ttio board of transportation will sing
a different tuna. The producers and ship
pers have bean robbed long enough. "
TEMPEST IN A THAFOT.
Somebody'6 imagination has boon let loose
too freely , and the encounter uctweon Hon.
W. F. Bechol , of Omaha , ana Senator Church
Howe has boon grossly distorted nnd exag
gerated. Some of the newspaper reports are
ridiculously absurd. The Incident bos not
caused a ripple of excitement hore. In fact ,
your correspondent has not hoard it once
mentioned except in response to his inquiries.
The affair grow out of the senate debate on
the bill to put the liquor licensing
power In Omaha in the hands of
the flro and police commissioners.
Ono report , made ut long range and on
hearsay , roads :
"Just what the first of Mr. Howe's oration
was thorcpoiter has boon unable to cot at ,
but it is quite certain that the words 'cow
ard,1 'political traitor , ' 'bribery,1 'tricit- '
stor , ' and other similar mellifluous expres
sions were freely indulged in. "
No such terms were used on the floor of
the senate. TUB BUB'S report of the pro
ceedings states :
"Senator Howe arraigned the present
license system in Omaha. 'Why , when you
see such patriots ns Pat Ford und Bechol in
the city council , whut stronger argument for
a better government ! ' Ho said the Sunday
law was not observed In Omaha ; that the
mayor had tried to enforce It , but failed. "
That wan the only mention made of Bcch-
cl's ' name , a fact that can bo fully sustained ,
and the remainder of the speech rullectod
upon Mr. Bochol no more than upon any
other member of the Omaha city council.
Lieutenant Governor Mciklojohn Is put in
the unenviable attitude of a meddlesome tale
bearer. He was met by Becliel , who asknd
for confirmation of n report of Howe's
talk that had already reached him
Mr. Moiklcjohn says ho explained that no
such remark was made while ho was in the
chair , and it must have boon done whllo the
BO n a to was In committee of the whole , Mr.
Bechol is represented as sallying forth upon
Howo's trail , and the encounter is reported
as occurring in the lobby of the cnpitol. As
a matter of fact the mooting was In the ofllco
'of the Windsor hatol in the evening and
quite accidental. Both gentlemen were at
the hotel to attend the Loyal Legion banquet.
Most ot the guests were in the parlor up
stairs , Bechol was chatting in a group
of gentlemen , two or throe of them from
Omaha. Howe came down stairs to ask ono
of the latter about the expiration of the
terms of the flro nnd police commissioners of
Oinulin , The gentleman could not give the
the dosircd information , and turned to Mr.
Bochel for it. Than followed the exohanga
of compliments which the published reports
have highly colored nnd exaggerated , Tlio
talk occupied only n minute or two. when
Koprosentativo Sweet advised the gentlemen
not to make a scone that would rolled upon
the Loyal Legion. Howe turned on
his heel und wont up stairs. This
Is the account of an Omaha gentle
men who was ono of the group. Tlio story
scorns to have gathered raclness unto Itself
during Its ( light to Omaha. There was no
bellicose demonstration. The affair caused
no sensation. The sum and substance of the
Incident is this :
Mr. Beohol accused thn gentleman from No-
malm of taking a cowardly advantage in at
tacking him on the floor of the senate and
blamed himself for having supported the scna-
'tor In his congressional race. Mr. Howe stated
that It cost ono hundred dollars to get tbo
support of the gentleman from Omaha. Mr.
Becliel denied the rhar o indignantly. Mr.
Howe said ho had saved tno endorsed check
auU could show it. About that time the gen
tlemen separated and now there Is n great
big wall of coolness between them. It was a
tempest In a teapot , but tome one has mag
nified It into a sensational tornado ,
WILL OK INVB4TIOATCU.
The committee appointed to Investigate
the asylum explosion will commence its
work on Monday or Tuesday , and will bo
assisted by an expert engineer and boiler In
spector. It U understood that the Investiga
tion Is instlgateJ because the coroner , under
the advice of Suiwrlutcndout Knupp , da-
elded that an Inquest was unnecnssary. The
decision of the coroner at the tlmo failed I to
meet the approval of the public , and the
talk was'so pointcd'thnt n vigorous investi
gation by the house was decided upon , and it
will bo pushed to the end , lot the blame full
where it may. It is stroncly nrguod that an
explosion , sucu as occurred at the asylum ,
cannot happen without blame attaching
somewhere , and not without reason. It is
only necessary to add that tlio contemplated
investigation meets with hearty public con
currence.
BETTLBMEST AT IUND.
Tlio board of public lands nnd buildings
has decided to net in the controversy between
the governor and supreme court over the
rooms claimed as the proper onosforthe
executive and judicial departments. It is
given out by n party in position to know that
the board will decide the matter at its next
regular mooting. No intimation , however ,
is given as to what that decision will be.
Still it is stated that the governor will not
bo asked to vacate. The opinion is strong
that the governor's right of possession will
not bo questioned , and that ho will bo per
mitted to retain the rooms until his term of
oftlce expires , but after that time they will
go to the supreme court for a permanent
homo. This is quite generally considered to
bo an cqultablo and Just solution of the
problem ,

Little Romances.
A pathetic story , with a happy sequel ,
comes from across the water to people living
In Dedham , Mass. Mrs. Sarah Smith is sixty
years old , and has lived with her son by tier
first husband , Arthur Jollif , in Dedham.
Ono day last September- suddenly re
marked to her daughter-in-law :
"Why , there Is George [ meaning her
younger sonj , and I must go to him. Ho Is
calling mo. I must go. Poor George I shall
not desert you. "
"Why , mother , George Is not out there , "
said her she to
daughter-in-law , as stepped
the window and looked out.
"I know bettor. " replied Mrs. Smith ; "ho
was calling to mo to como to him. "
Mrs. Jollif said no more , but proceeded
with her household duties. While thus engaged -
gaged , unobserved by her , Mrs. Smith wont
out of the house , undoubtedly in search of
her son , whom she supposed was waiting for
her , and continued on up the street , Imagin
ing that she would overtake him. She made
her way to Boston , where she was found ,
sick and exhausted , in the street and cared
for at the hospital. AVith her mind still
clouded , she claimed to have wandered from
England , and bogged to bo sent back to that
country. The British consul provided for
her pnssuge , and she embarked on one of the
ocean steamers for Liverpool.
A few dayo before Mrs. Smith took passage -
sago for Liverpool her son George had hired
on board a cattle steamer , which was plow
ing the sen in advance of the steamer in
which his mother snilocl. .George Jolliff got
into port In early morning , and with many
others stood upon the wharf to sea the Bos
ton passengers land. His eyes bccamo fixed
upon the frail tiguro of an elderly woman
niakiuc her way along to the wharf. The
form looked familiar tw-liis eyes , and they
were not deceived , for when she hod oomo
within embracing distance ho had her In his
strong arms , shouting : "MotherI mother ! "
Recognition on the part of the mother was
immediate , and in the reunion her reason re
turned unclouded. The mother and son
wont to the house of erelatives in London ,
whore tboy are now staying.
A few months ago a young man of Boston -
ton , twenty-one years of ago , well bred nnd
gentlemanly In his bearing , received through
the mails a letter. It was from a young
lady about two years his' Junior , who asked
lilm to call and see hoc _ She had recently
learned , she said , that > Uioso whom nlio had
always supposed were her parents were no
way related to her , and'thut ho was her own
and only brother. Ho called upon the writer
of the letter , and found a charming young
lady , pretty , well educated and Intelligent ,
and a few momenta convocation convinced
both that they wore Indued brother and sla
ter. The story of their lives Is briefly told ,
as follows :
When the boy was less than throe years of
age and the girl an infant , the parents for
so mo reason were separated. The children
drifted Into the care of the Home for Little
Wanderers , where they were tenderly cared
for for a while. Tha baby nlrl at length
was adopted by a family In South Boston ,
and the boy was taken by a farmer In the
far-down reglono of Maine , who undertook
his rearing and training. Thus the children
were separated , and they grew up In total
ignorance of each others existence. As the
boy grow ho became restive and evitcod a
UlsUiio for country life , and obtained n situa
tion as stenogrnpaar la a well known busi
ness house of Boston. The plrl meantime
grow to young womanhood in IK-
noranco of the fact that she was
not the true daughter of the house. About
n year ago , however , she had n trifling dis
pute with her supposed mother , who im
pulsively declared that the girl was not her
daughter. Surprised and sheened nt the
revelation , she went at once to her Sunday
school teacher nnd poured into her ears the
talc.
talc.An aunt of the children had through all
thcso years kept her eyes uxm the two ,
know wlideo they were , nnd what they were
doing. It had been her intention some day
to tell them of their childhood nnd bring
brother and sister together. With this end
in view , she hnd the acquaintance of the
Sunday school teacher , nnd had told her the
story of the two , but with injunctions of
strict socresy. She had managed also to
throw the young man Into the society of the
same excellent women , and matters were
quite npo for the revelation , when it came
prematurely , and In a manner least expected.
The young man's name Is C. L. Fletcher ,
and the youni : lady's name is Mary E.
Fletcher , and tlioy live in this city.
An interesting divorce case is in progress
in Amsterdam , New York. The plaintiff
was formerly the beautiful Miss Hattie
Williamson. She married Francis Veddcr ,
of Fonda , aged seventy , who is worth over
$100,000. The union was soon broken up by
Vcdder driving the young wife ont of doors.
She related her experience in court na fol
lows : " 1 married the defendant May 21 ,
188i , when seventeen years of ago. The defendant -
fondant told mo that ho was in his fortieth
year when I married him. Wo lived to
gether until October 1 , 1884 , when ho told
mo to leave his house. I had been married
only two weeks when ho began to Hnd fault
about my asking him to provide. Ho got a
do/on eggs and loft four in u pan and locked
the others In his bookcase. Ho got u pound
of raisins and locked them up. Ho got lard
and forbaoo mo to use butter to warm up
potatoes , so I had to use lard. When I
would usk him for any money ho would tell
mo to go and earn it. Ono day I wnntod
some meat , Ho said ; 'Don't get over a
pound. ' I wont out to see what the butcher
had. Ho had lamb chops. 1 asked him how
much they were. Ho sold 25 cents a pound.
I told him I would have to ask Mr. Veddor
if I could got any. I did a > k him and ho told
mo ho could not pay that price ; that a plcca
of stowing beef was good enough. Ho would
not allow washing to ho dona oftcnor than
once in four weeks. Twice I toolc It homo
and once ho did ills own washing. "
