LAST NIGHT AT THE COLISEUM.

Piled Up.
n. Grand klmtlonoc.
Another Immense crowd , say from four to
five thousand people , assembled at the Colt-
BCUBI last night , nnd nuild n very furore of
applause the ladles Dyking race was resumed ,
With the exception of Misses O.ikcs nnd
Woods the fair contestants were arrayed as
upon the previous evening. On this occasion
the charming English champion wore a black
velvet basque , trimmed In gold , black tights
nnd cap and snowy plumo. Although somewhat -
what under the medium stature , Miss Woods
4s a plondld specimen of the physical woman ,
nnd her sparkling eyes , beaming face nnd
pearly teeth'have made her very popular
Svlth the pcoiile.
Miss Woods presented a very pleasing pic
ture in a wlno-colorcd Jersey suit , drab cap
and yellow ribbons. She , too Is n decidedly
pretty girl , nnd ono of the finest and swiftest
riders tit the raco.
At the report of the pistol at. half past 7
Bhnrp the band struck uu a lively air , nnd
iRxvny went the lovely wheelers like so many
birds Just freed from tholr cage.
The extraordinary gait maintained
throughout the opening evening had evi
dently acted as an admonition to the ladles
that if they hoped to last through the week
they must husband their strength , and tbaro
Vras but little spurting in the outset. Getting
Warmed to her workhowovorBonntyBaldwln
finally whirled away at her dizziest pace ,
with the evident determination of regaining
nt least ono of the laps lost the night before.
Miss Oakes , too , concluded It wouldn't bo a
Jmd Idea to follow Baldwin's example , and
lor a period of live minutes they dashed
about the track like rival rays of sunlight.
tTlio crowd cheered nnd clapped tholr hands ,
the band burst in with some startling music ,
nnd the scene was nt once thrilling nnd In-
uplrljlng In n high degree. The other riders ,
" " " too , wore quickly seized by the infection , nnd
they Decelerated their pace , but it was too
Into-Bald win and Oakes had palnod Along
lend and were now on tholr trail. A few
tnoro whirls around the circuit and the cov-
btcd lap was regained.
Miss Williams , the local rider , nnd Misses
Lewis and Woods continued their super.-
human exertions for first place , but despite
the desperate work of any ono of the three ,
it was some time before either could gain un
advantage. Miss Williams did not seem to
bo in us good condition as on the first night ,
nnd her work soon mailo itself evident in her ,
furtive looks nnd anxious face. She is a
wonderful rider , however , and ono of her
marvelous spurts at last carried her ono lap
ahead of Lewis , but she couldn't make it on
Woods. An opportune shower of flowers
About this tlmo infused n renewal of strength
in the fair Philadclphlan's frame , and she
mada It so hot for Miss Williams that she
vras glad to cease her exertions and tnlco a
test.
test.Miss
Miss Brown , who fell behind through a
temporary illness at the outset of the race ,
looked the ideal of health nnd loveliness last
bight , and did her riding In an exquisite
* Btylo. She is a flue looking girl and has
many admirers.
M'llo. Armalndo is still out of condition ,
and although adhering to her work with In-
, domitublo determination , It is an obvious fact
that she Is riding a hopeless race. Stio Is
just oipht miles behind Miss Brown , who
elands sixth.
The audience that fairly" packed the great
Structure last night was a sight within itself ;
.end made up as ft was of tbo best citizens of
Omaha , no fullcror moro complete attestation
to the popularity of the Coliseum and the
pplendld series of entertainments it is
affording the public , could bo dosirod.
"Senator" Morgan remarked last night , that
the iiu'dicnco was the largest second night
' BU Jloiiro over assembled In this country on
any similar occasion , and its character was
BUoh as filled the hearts of the fair wheelers
With gratification. It acted us u stlmulous.
and each ono strained every nerve and
knuselo to merit the continuous cheers that
greeted her around the course.
If the prodigious interest In the race con-
.tlnucs until the closing night , it Is doubtful '
whether even the capacious building'will bo
DUfllclont to accommodate the crowd that will
cl imor for admission.
Miss Williams finally resumed her normal
condition , nnd by hard and Industrious riding
succeeded in gaining n lap nn the stately
Hiss r owls. Miss Woods , however , was rid-
Jng like n heroine , and not only closed up and
passed Lewis , but gained n lap on the in
vincible Williams. The score as it now
etunds Is as follows :

THE CHICAGO ELECTION.
Great Interest In thu C'omiiiji Muni
cipal Content.
CHICAGO , March 19. [ Special Telegram to
THIS BEE. ] There continues to bo the great
est interest in the coming municipal election
and the situation changed considerably to
day. Tho. . labor ticket is breaking up and ,
In fact , ns a party in the present canpalgn its
disintegration Is almost a certainty.
Mr. Wi P. Rend , the big coal dealer whoso
nomination as treasurer has excited so much
comment and promised to bring considerable
strength to the labor ticket , has made up his
mind to decline to run , and his latter of
declination was put in the hands of the
chairman of the campaign committee to-day.
Mr. Gross , the candidate for mayor on the
same ticket will also probably withdran.
Thcro Is considerable cossip floating
around concerning the' efforts of the Phila- .
dclphla street car syndicate , and their desire
to control the election of certain aldermen.
The mechanical engineers have never for
given Mayor Rocho for going to Roch
ester for n city engineer nnd de
claring that there was really no
body of mechanical engineers in Chicago ,
from which a competent man could bo se
lected to fill the position to which Mr. Ger-
oeko has been appointed. 'Thoy now threaten
to "hnlfo'Mnd work against the republican
nominee for mayor , according to ono of their
numbers. _
Europe's Financial Crisis.
PAHIH , March 19. A pessimist fooling prevails -
vails regarding the.posltion of credit houses ,
especially of the Banquo do Paris , which is
much discussed. It is reported that the bank
Is deeply Involved in the copper troubles , as
It Is not expected to pay a dividend for the
past year. Moreover , it Is stated that the
directors of the concern announced , at a
bankers' meeting last evening that they were
unable to subscribe for the relief of the
Comutolr d'Escompto , having themselves
lent 27,000,000 francs on copper warrants.
The decline of the Socloto do Mctaux
shares Is'attributed to a report that the con
cern had definitely suspon'dcd payment and
operations. Nevertheless , there was a largo
amount of buying and repurchasing in the
copper mine market to-day , the demand for
Rio Tintos being especially strong ,
LOSPOK , March 10. The Paris correspon
dent of the News says : Tbo Socloto des
Motaux has given notice of its inability to
take deliveries of copper from the mine and
will to-morrow declare suspension of pay
ment and demand the appointment of a Ju
dicial receiver. It is rumored
that the shareholders of the
Comtolr d'Kscouipto will Institute an action
against the director * for misapplying the
concern's funds to tholr own or their friends'
uses , or for culpable concealment of Its posi
tion on the last balance shoot , which did not
explain the copper liabilities. "

Losno.v , March 19. In a speech at Waterford -
ford this evening , Lord Salisbury stated that
nothing short of a vote of want of-confidence
would bring the government to a premature
cud , and that those who thought otherwise
wcio amusing themselves with vain' dreams.
Lord Salisbury said ho would not discuss
the forged letters or other matters of the ac
cusation against iho Irish leaders , which
were now before an eminently competent
nnd impartial tribunal. The government had
no Interest In the letters. The commission
had been appointed to consider far wider and
moro Important charges. There had been n
deal of public- embracing of Parnolllto lead
ers , but before expressing an opinion ho
would wait for the Judgment of the commis
sion ,

BOOMERS BEATEN.
Soldiers Hnvo a Htrucclo With Sot-
tlciM in Oklahoma.
ST. Louis , March 19. The Republic's spe
cial from Wichita says that the Oklahoma
boomers having filed to the woods upon the
appearance of Lieutenant Carson and a body
of soldiers , scouts were sent out to hunt
, hem down , but instructed not to use vioi
onco. In what is known as Crutch
county , in northwest Oklahoma , quitennum-
jor of boomers had gathered around Will-
am Beck. Among the number were his
daughter , a relative , Samuel Anderson and
an old man named William Adams.
Thole , property had been destroyed
, n a former raid and they cherished
jitter animosity against the troops. Their
biding place was discovered by an Indian
scout and reported to Lieutenant Carson ,
who sent a detachment after them. As soon
is the boomers saw the troops c.om-
, ng they made preparations to stand
their ground and protect them
selves. When surrounded and called
upon to surrender they began parleying and
made threats , which exasperated the soldiers'
who charged the party , , out , seeing that' the
boomers were armed , and having- orders tt >
avoid n conflict , they dismounted , and by an
idroit movement part of the boomers wOrorc- .
Ueved of their arms. Anderson and Adams ,
nowovcr , held out and made 'a desperate re
sistance with guns. The former received a
; erriDlo blow from the .butt of a revolver
and the latter was struck in tho'mouth. .
After being disarmed the 'boomers fought
with clubs nnd stones , , but were soon
compelled to surrender. Several soldiers
received slight wounds , but none serious.
Thcro has been great excitement among thu1
joomors since the conlllct , and while all ex
press a determination to make a similnv re
sistance they are sccKing satcr hiding places.

According to reports from Washington ,
Agent Llntou sent bora BOIIIO tlmo ago by
Mo treasury department to recolvo bids mid
examine sites for the now postoftlco , lias
finally decided nnd reported , and recom
mended what Is Itnown as the Planter's
louse block. Uoforo rejoicing , however , See-
tary Wlndont's approval Is necessary. If tie
uphold * the agent's ' Judgment , then the
> roporty will bo condemned by Undo Sam
mid nppralsod by a committee appointed cs-
loclally for that purpose. In this bloclc ,
3yron Heed owns lots 5 nnd 0 , being 183 feet
on Dodge by ISO on. "Seventeenth street ; the
Folsom liolrs own lots 3 and 7 , 03 feet wldo
and extending through the block from Dodge
itroot to Capitol avenue ; also the
Planters' house corner GO feet long by
24 feet wldo , fronting both Dodge
and Sixteenth stools ; next to that on Six-
.ccnth street Dennis Cunningham has a
.wonty-four . fodt strip ; adjoining him Mrs.
3. B. Knight has n like amount ; then comes
3. U. ilrown with eighth-four foot ; follow-
ng him William Flomralng with thirty foot ,
and the corner fronting Sixteenth and Cnpl-
ol avenue , occupied by the Palace stnblos ,
3 hold by tno Union National bank. O. M.
Hitchcock is the 'owner ' of lots three and
lour , with the oxc6ptlon of a small patch ,
forty foot by eight , In the southeast corner
of them , and the Savontccth street side ,
which belongs to the .United Presbyterian
church. The latter is n two-story brick
juildlim , old and not considered very valua
ble. All the other buildings on.tho block
except Hitchcock's Capitol avenue flats
and probably a small residence
on one of' the Byron Rood's
lots are cheap frame structures. Most of
them are old tumblo-dowM , oyo-coro affairs.
The block was offered for $400,000. Jim
McShnno says that ho is satisfied no com
mittee of mon will appraise It at over
? 350,000. The individual owners have not
stato'd tholr separate demands. Each agreed
to accept his proportion of ttio purchase pro
viding the appraisement roaches the $400,000.
Unless It does , collectively , they reserve tno
right to appeal , and'somo ' of them say they
will not consentto take less than that
amount.
Another apparently knotty problem comes
up in the fact that the Folsom estate is in
litigation , but Mr. Bockct , the . at
torney for the same , says that
will not make any diiTorenco.
His clients have ngreed to make their divi
sion of thovroceeds the same as they proposed - '
posed to do of the land. The matter is now
In the hands of John L. McCagno , Byron
Rood nnd Dexter Thomas , who wore ap
pointed a board of trustees to make the
division. Tt is understood they will not sub
mit their report until ; the post oftlco matter
lias bcon settled. iTIicfilUo to the property is
not in question. ThcixJ are eleven devisees.
and four of them bcim ? children , who could
not deed and convey the court was asked to
do it for them. , BIrs. v Cleveland's interest
amounts to one-sixteenth of lots two and
seven , nnd ono eighth of the Planters house.

MONOPOLIZING THE HOHTNINO.
The Mercer and Council Bluffs Motor
Companies Consolidate.
What Is popularly known as Dr. Mercer's
and the Omaha , Council Bluffs bridge line
motor companies have finally been consoli
dated , and the entire system will bo operated
by ono corporation. A mooting was held yes
terday afternoon to perfect the scheme and
work will progress 'on this sldo just as
rapidly as a large force of men can
do it. Contracts have been let for the imme
diate erection of a'powor house at Nicholas
and Twenty-second streets which is to equal
in sl7C > nnd equipment the ono near Council
Bluffs. Bally & Olson have boon given the
brick work and Counso-nan the carpentering.
A 200 horse power Corliss enelno has been
ordered. Pullman in building twen
ty-two cars just llko those now
in use on the brhlpo line and the Thompson-
Huston concern will furnish the electricity.
This agreement calls for eight miles of wire
to bo put up Just as quickly as possible.
Ono of the officers said :
"You can rest assured that the motor is a
'go,1 regardless of injunctions. If we
nro denied the possession of ono
street , " there Is nothing that I
know of to prevent us taking another. "
Largo extensions to the system will bo
made to nil parts of Omaha this summer.
The company Is moro than satisfied with its
success up to date and feels encouracrod to
spend at least $1,000,000 In farther improve
ments. Both depots , the inlr
and base ball grounds , west
side additions , South Omaha , and in fact
every point , to which people < ro in largo num
bers will bo reached by this lightning pro
pelled sytoin of. transportation. The two
power houses , in Council Bluffs and Omaha ,
are to bo so connected that trains can pass
from ono current to the other
without the least check In their
speed or Inconvenience to any ono. All
trains may bo run over the entire system ,
but urobably lor the regular dally business
these on the Omaha sldo will simply run seas
as to make close connections with those
from the Bluffs. - _

"This was sometime a paradox , " as
Ilumlot Bays. Since , however , the
people of America and other lands have
been enabled to pit Hosteller's Stomaoh
Bitters against tliatunboon foo.maluria ,
it is no longer a paradox , hut an easy
possibility. Wherever malaria evolves
its misty venom to poison the air , and
decaying unwholesome vegetation im
pregnates the water , there , in the very
stronghold of miasma , is the auxiliary
potent to disarm the foe and insure effi
cient protection , Fever and ague ,

have fastened their clutch on the sys

grasp and eventually to abandon it
altogether , But it la its preventive

nnd Australian plush Is lavished upon the
berths nnd on the floors. The car Is lighted
