LiNcor.x. April O.I ,
Flvo nr six years ago John Mclntyro stood
nt tlio uinrriapp altar In ono of the beautiful
rural towns of Iowa nnd promised to love ,
cliorlsh and honor n comely maiden , rich In
ovortlilng calculated to mnko homu atlracllva
and her husband happy. It seems that Mcln
tyro , too , Blood well , so well that ho was
honored with n scat m the legislature ol that
state. All wont well for a tluio. Husband
nnd wlfo were happy. In duo tlmo two chil
dren wcro born to thorn ; and the tics of mar-
rlngo ought to have been cemented moro
closely than ever , The roverso. however ,
proved to bo the caso. The demon , jealousy ,
took possession of the husband , nnd ho became -
came allogolhcr too playful , knocking his
Wlfo down without provocation , and other
wise iiiftllnmllng hor. This the wlfo nnd
mother stood until forbcarauco ceased lo bo
n virtue , and during the absence of her
husband , ono day nearly year
ngo , she quietly took her children and loft
him , coming to Lincoln whcronhchas slnco
lived. During the flrst two or Ihroo months
ho did sowing for n living. Subsequently ,
however , she secured a position in New
man's store , where slio has dona clerical
work , and won the esteem of her associates
nnd the confidence of her employer. Mrs.
Mclntyro felt secure from encroachments
from her husband , for slio loft no clue ns to
where she was going when she left him , and
lias abstained from correspondence with
nearly nil of her Iowa friends. Hut , In some
way , Mclnty.ro got track of the whereabouts
of his wife , nnd ho came to Lincoln last
Tuesday , not in search of her. but In search
of his children , nnd ho located them nt the
homu of ono of Mrs. Mclntyro's friends , who
lives * ill rco miles south of thu city. IIo
lost no time whan ho was sure of their iden
tity , but played the Churloy Hess ant and
left for Iowa with the in Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Mclntyro was well nlgli dislrnclod
when she heard Hint ho had secured posses-
Dion of the children. Acting upon the advice -
vice of friends hero she consulted attorneys ,
nnd has brought suit for divorce mid the euro
nnd custody of the children. So the matter
will be tested In the courts. Tbo children
Will bo taken by oflleors of the law If they
can bo found. The facts of tills story hnvo
Just become known.

"Wants Unmngcs Tor False Arrost.
On the 3d day of March n forged chock
was passed in this city whereby Mr. Charles
S. .Tones was swindled out of the sum of $10.
The Injury done to Mr. Jones' feelings was
jnoro serious that that sustained by his
pockctbook , and ho scut Detective Pound on
the track of the forcer. This ofllcer nr-
rosled Mr. Pclor Worthlngton at some point
In Iowa. Ho was brought to this city , but.
was at once released unn Jones1 declaration
tliSt iiO was not the man wanted. Then a
brother by the name of Sam was arrested
nnd tried for the offense , but was acquitted.
This happened in the latlor part of March ,
nnd now Mr. Peter \Vorthington \ comes back
ut Messrs. Pound and Jones with a suit ,
which was begun in the United States court
to-day , for $5,000 damages for false arrest.
Cclcstlul Infatuation.
The father of thu girls , whoso Infatuation
foracouploof hard looking Chinamen has
brought them into notoricly , was in the cap
ital city to-day. His na.Tio is George
Andrews , and his homo is Omaha. From
him the story of the escapade was learned
to-day :
The girls' nnmos nro Mattlo nnd Minnie ,
the former being twenty-four years old and
the latter eighteen. Neither Is regarded of
of llrst class character and , last January , the
younger was arrested in a Joint in Omaha.
After that Doth girls thought tnoy could
niaku fume and fortune on the stage , and en
tered the chorus of a company which was
playing "A Dark Secret. " The company
left Omaha all right , but wont to pieces before
fore it had gene far , and the girls wont back
to the company of the Chinamen. Their
parents supposed , all the time , that the girls
wera with the theatrical troupe , though they
had not boon ignorant of their doings previ
ous to that lime. The girls came lo Lincoln
nnd put up nt the Depot hotel.
From there they wont to a laundry
on N street. They stayed hero a day or so
nnd then went to 8i- ! North Twelfth strool.
liy this time the ofllcors of thu city were
after them , but they departed Wednesday
Just In time to escape capture. They wont ,
ns it bus bcon found since , to the laundry
ngnln and spent the night there , but a search
on the following day failed to reveal them ,
nnd it Is not yet known where they nro.
The Chinaman , Fong , whom the young girl
wanted to marry has skipped for parts
unknown. The father has sworn out a war
rant for the girl nnd Fong , on the charge of
fornication , and the police uro still looking
for them and will probably find them within
n day or so , ns it is tpjlto certain ihoy have
not left the city. It has boon found that
when the girl gave the county Judge the address -
dross In Olnahn , which slio claimed was that
of her father , she really gave the address of
u Chinese laundry , 1220 Hnrnoy strcot.

The trial of the Volmor case took an un-
oxucctcd turn. When the hearing of evidence -
denco closed Judge Graff informed the attor-
ys that they must comnloto their argu

Nebraska became n stato.
Thursday , Judge Savngo , who represents
thu defendant , demanded the right to inako
as many challenges of Jurors as obtained in
the territorial days , when nine men consti
tuted n full Jury , and when the law allowed
each side one-third as many preemptory
challenges ns the number of jurors. Ho
claimed that the increase to twelve had not
changed the rule of challenges , but Judge
Hopowcll refused to mil Ho a decision which
would change thu established custom.
lioforo offering evidence , Mr. Miller's at
torneys asked the court for an order hold
ing that tlio burden of proof , for the reason
that malice did not exist ] in the publica
tions in question , rested wholly with the
defendant.
Judge HoDowcll refused to grant the re
quest , stating , In substance , that the plain-
tin had boon criticised as a public offlcor :
that in his petition , ho alleged libel , and
asked damaees In tlio sum of § 25,000 there
fore it rested With him to provo that the
publications were false and with the Jury to
determine whether or not malice was the
mo'lvo of such publications.
As the point had never been raised boforo.
Judge Hopov/oll 01 the statement of
the plaintiff's nttornt tnat his ruling
ended the case so far as they were concerned ,
asked that lie bo grunted until .yesterday
to examine the authorities before settling
the question ,
When court convened his honor said that
ho had failed to llnd anything which would
cause him to change his opinion. Tlio do-
fcndaml's ' answer to plaintiff's petition de
nies that ho had any malice , therefore the
plaintiff said the Judge , "must first introduce
testimony to provo the falsity of this claim.
To this ruling , Miller's lawyers took ex
ceptions , simply introduced their petition
nnd restod.
The defendant's attorney thereupon
moved that the Jury bo instructed to return
a verdict for their client.
The plaintiffs entered an objection , but the
motion was sustained. The instructions
were given accordingly , nnd the jury rn
turned its verdict for the defendant. The
pluintifl. ' at once Hied n motion for anew

O'Connor's Pnstornl.
To the Clergy and Lnlty of the DIoccso of
Jmnha Dear Brethren : On the 30th of
this month the people of this country will
cclcbrato the centennial of the inauguration
of the first president of tbo United States.
3n that day , besides the civil demonstra
tions in which they will take part ,
and which , no doubt , will bo worthy
of the great occasion , they will assemble in
Lhcir respective places of worship to thank
God for tlio loving providcnco with which ho
las watched over us , slnco wo became n
nation , nnd to invoke his blessing on our In
stitutions in the future. There Is , indeed ,
nuch for which , on that day , wo should feel
jratoful to the giver of all good. Whilst yet
living In weak nnd scattered colonies , ho
enabled us to throw oif n yoke that had be
come Intolerable. Ho gave us a vast domain ,
safe from foreign aggression und abounding
In everything that goes to inako a nation
rich nnd powerful. Ho has scut us from
abroad millions of tellers to cut highways
through it , to clear Its forests , to break Its
prairies , to open Its mines , build its facto
ries , develop nil Its resources , ana swell its
) opulntlon to the seventy millions that now
dwell hero. Ho gave , and has preserved to
us , civil nnd religious liberty , ono of his best
rifts to man , and plvoi it In a degree un-
mown In other times nnd in ether lands.-
IIo has cnxindled In the hearts ot our
citizens , whether native or foreign born , n
latriotism that makes them ready for any
and ovcry sacrifice to uphold our Institutions
nnd defend the integrity of our torrit ory.
Once , only , in our history , has domcstl c
> eaco been disturbed within our borders ,
luttlio good results that followed the disor
der that tlmo have fully compensated for the
evils that attended it. For thcso nnd count
ess ether blessings bestowed on us dur
ing a century of self-government , wo should
return heartfelt thanks ou the great festival
wo are about to celebrate.
And whilst doing to , let us not fail to pray
that the favors vouchsafed to us in the past
may bo continued to these who are to come
after us.
Wo llvo In no apprehension of immediate
danger to the republic , and yet there nro vis
ible around us certain indications of trouble
to come , that cause no little anxiety to
thoughtful lovers of their country.
The J.mcrican homo in , thank God. still
clirislTun and pure , but family discipline
has Ix-en greatly relaxed amongst us of late
years. Few ch'ldrcn mo now trained to hab
its of self-restraint or obedience. The great
majority of them nro allowed to couio und
go us they please , to read all sorts of litera
ture , to associate with whom they please.
This is not the way to make the young become
good Christians or good citizens , or to prepare -
pare them for the great struggles they will
huvo to make , or tlio dangers they must en
counter , in after life.
An inordinate desire of gain is fast taking
possession of all classes of the community.
It is not yet the sordid passion of tlio miser ,
but it will soon become such , if not re
strained. It is turning men's minds nnd af
fections from hichcr and bettor things , to
what ministers to mere sensual enjoyment.
Wo all know the power of money at our
elections , in our legislatures , In our munici
pal bodies , and , alas I oven in our courts of
justico. Money , not votes , now elects our
public officials , from the highest to the low
est. Without it oven just and noco sry
legislation cann&t bo secured. The desire of
it is banding the rich together to oppress the
poor , and enkindling in the hearts of the
poor jealously nnd hatred of the rich. How
is all this to end ? Badly , beyond doubt , un
less this quest of gain bo kept within duo
bounds. For , "many have been brought
to full for gold , and the beauty thereof has
boon their ruin. " And "thoy that will become -
como rich , fall into snares of tlio devil , und
into many unprolitablo and hurtful desires ,
which drown men In destruction and per
dition. "
Our dangerous classes are ou the increase.
Our tramps , alone , now form nn urtny of
ovil-doors most dangerous to the peace of the
community in times of public disturbance.
There is another army , which I shall not
name , more numerous than they , more intel
ligent , moro influential , which , if one-half
wo hear of it bo true , is the greatest npos-
tolato of libertinism overseen in thU or nny
other land. Our labor associations , though
not to bo classed with such men ns these ,
may , at nny time , under the inspiration of
demagogues , bring the trade and business of
the country into serious confusion , and thus
open the way to still greater ovils.
Wo uro u Christian people. Wo live under
laws dictated by n Christian civilisation. In
point of morality , wo compare favorably
with the people of any ether country. Yet
unbollefls becoming prevalent amongst us.
Pantheism , in ono form or ether , agnosti
cism nnd the shallow , vulgar infidelity of
the French encyclopedists , uro making very
noticeable inroads on all classes of the com
munity. Comparatively few , as yet , untag-
oni/.o Christianity , still fewer halo it , but ton
many have lost faith in it. Infidel literature
has u ciiculation in this country , only u little
less than that reached by works of liction ,
and thousands of well-dressed , well-to-do
people , in ail our cities , pay their dollarsand
throng to hear shallow harlequins lecture
against truths held sacred by their fathom.
A lady who moves in the most fushionablu
circles , in ono of our eastern cities , told mo
Intoly , there was no young laily , or young
married lady , of her acquaintance who be
lieved in Christianity.
Ono of tlio chief causes of this , and of
many ether growing evils in this country , is
the neglect of religious training in our
schools. Not receiving it In our schools ,
very few of them will , or can , receive it
elsewhere. The great majority of parents
are unublu or unwilling to give it to them ,
and the t-unday schools can do but little to
supply for their neglect in tills matter. The
consequence Is that our children are grow
ing up without any knowledge of oven the
fundamental Christian doctrines , and with
out the convictions and virtuous habits
bused on Christian teaching. The unscc-
tarian morality which some people suppose
can bo taught in the public Hcliools is an unthinkable -
thinkable abstraction. It should ignore
every revealed Until , for thcro is no trutli
nf revelation that is not denied. OP questioned
by some sect , or , at least , by deists , atheists
or Jews , all of whom have a right to send
their children to the public schools. A tran
scendental morality of this sort would linvi >
loss clTcct in restraining the passions than of
ancient ormodorn paganism. It-would.excludo
every motive , every correct idea of duty In
life , and would proclaim "gate niur" for all
in life to cotno. If a belief in Christianity ,
and In the sanctions it makes known to us ,
falls to keep the great majority of men In
the right way , what would become of a people
ple who had lost all faith In both )
Material prosperity alone cannot m < iko a
nation happy or groat. It is often the fore
runner of its downfall , Sodom nnd Gomor-
rha wcro "as a parudiso of God , " when llro
and brimstone rained upon them from
heaven. No , "It is Justice that olevateth u
nation , and sin that maketh a people miser
able. " "Unless the Lord keep the city , they
labor In vain that keep it , " God has often
sent famine and pestilence ana the sword to
chastise and destroy nations that had for
saken him , and he will do so again. "Ho
that recedes from thco shall perish. " "Woo
lo the kiiiful nation , u people laden wilh in
iquity , a wicked seed , ungracious children ;
they have forsaken the Lord , they hnvo
blasphemed thu Holy ono of Israel , they have
gene uway backward. * * Vour land is
dcjolato , your citle.s are burnt with flro , your
country stranger * devour before your face ,
and It shall be desolate as when wasted by
enemies. " ,
Krery nation carries within itself elements
of decay and dissolution , which , if not hold
In check by un overruling providence , would
soon bring it to utter ruin. And who
can say that such forces may not now be at
woik oven here in tbo United States ) What
has been , may bo. If , for Instance , within
our memorysectlonal interests and sectional
prejudices wera able to precipitate upon us a
rebellion that threatened to wrest from us
the fairest portion of our territory , why
might they not bo ablate do the llko again in
the not distant future ) And If another re
bellion were to rocolvo Irom Kuropcan
ixnvcrs the aid they had Intended , but de
layed too long to.glvo to that of the Bouthcrn
states , would we have no fear for the result )
United amongst ourselves , wo mlght.lndoed ,
defy any combination foreign powers might
make against us. But , If they come ns allies
of a now South , or of Now England , or of
the states on the Paclflo coast , against the
central government , could wo fool quito
euro to hold any ono of thcso sections in the
union.
Hut a far moro imminent danger than this
lies In our presidential nnd state elect Ions.
Our sroat political parties nro now pretty
evenly balanced , Tiiolr majorities in the
two last ptcsldontlal elections were very
small. Neither party has confidence In the
integrity of the other. Charges of bribery
nnd of itaud In election returns are made by
both , not.without reason , In n presidential
olcction , especially , party spirit and hope of
"tho spoils" excite the feelings of the
masses to the highest point of tension.
Should the defeated party nt such n tlmo ,
fltnurting under the sense of a real or sup
posed wrong , take the law into Its own
hands nnd commit some overt net of violence
ngalnst the constllutod authorities , n civil
strife would bo likely to ensue , compared
with which the late rebellion would bo an
affair of only trilling Importance.
Nor Is it beyond the range of probability
that oven a state or municipal election should
under llko circumstances , lend to the same
lamentable results. A struggle , local nt
first , by nrousing party prejudices and pas
sions all over the country , might easily be-
coino national and thus drlva the whole pop
ulation to arms for mutual destruction.
1 have thus , my brethren , called your nt-
tontion to some of the dangers to our Instltu-
tlQtis that appear on the surface of our socie
ty , not to diminish in the slightest degree
tlio Joy you will naturally feel on the approaching
preaching centennial , but to emphasize the
duty that will then devolve on you. "To implore -
ploro , " in the words of the president , "tho
favors of God , that the blessings of liberty ,

Two lltiudrrd Men Discharged.
Yesterday ut Union Pacific headquarters ,
nn order was received from the Boston offi
cials discontinuing nil work both In construc
tion und repairs on the road , Accordingly a
force of uiun aggregating UCO , together with
a crow of thirty men'on ' the construction
train was discharged yesterday. This is
the force that was to huvo boon employed in
ballasting the main line between Council
Hluffs and Norh Platto. The fact that the
sum of Sir > 0,00j had bcon sot nsido for
, his purpose by the executive
joard of the Union Pacific loads
\o \ tlio opinion that the management
s about to turn over the system proper to a
receiver. The company has already gene to
considerable expense hi locating gravel beds
and equipping a construction train for that
for that purpose. Inquiry at headquarters
was made , but nothhlg could bo learned aside
From the fact that all construction and track
improvement on the Union Pacific had been
ordered dUi'ontiuued'for nn Indefinite tlmo.
[ t is stated that the growing hostility ot the
inter-sluio and state railway commission
toward the railroads is a matter which se
riously affects the Union Pacific ring in no
light degree , and that if the latter does not
roliquish control of the road , no further ex
penditures will bo made in repairing the
main line of the road.
A Reduction Kvprctoil.
As regards the report published in Tuc
BEE of Thursday concoruinij the 10 per cent
reduction circular which is said to bo forth
coming , nothing additional could bo ascer
tained yesterday , aside from the admission by
a large number of employes that such a circu
lar has been cxppcted for some timo. The
"le.iding bflleinl" quoted in a morning paper
as denying the correctness of the report , is
mythical. The fact is that no official of the
Union Pacific of moro importance than un
uuditor was in Omaha last night. Vice
President Holcomb , General Manager Kiui-
ball , Assistant General Manager Dick
inson and General Trufllc Manager
Mellon were absent. It is not
expected that nny of thcso would
even bo cognizant of the circular unless it
might bo Holcombo , as the reduction theory
originated in Boston. However , tlio cut is
expected and if reports bo true , u general
walkout at headquarters will follow.
Vice President Holcomb returned yesterday
from the west , out would offer no informa
tion on the subject.
lll ld Economy.
Four clerks in the department of passenger
accounts , under Auditor Wing , were re
leased nt headquarters yesterday. A report
is put in circulation that fifty clerks ut
headquarters would be lot out May 1 , but
nothing definite in this respect could bo
learned. It is stated that the statistical de
partment is to bo abolished , nnd tlio work
will revert to the auditing department. This
would result in letting out about
fifty clerks. The matter is ono in which
Auditor Young's word is final. However , it
is given out that no clerk except such as are
absolutely required will bo retained , and as
a consequence about May 1 several depart
ments will in all probability bo reduced.

Views nntl Interviews Cnught In Hotel
Corridor * nnd ICIsowhcro.
Hon. A. J , Popploton says ho is "dead sot"
ngalnst nny scheme proposing to convert the
exposition building into n market hou o. Ho
owns four lots of ground on which the buildIng -
Ing stands and declares most emphatically
that the association will never get his con
sent to cither soil or lease them for nny pur-
> oso. and especially a market house.
"liut It is claimed "
, supgeslod u reporter ,
'that ' under the present charter the city can
condemn grounds for public use nnd will do
BO in this instance If you refuse to lot your
lots go In I"
"Well , I don't think I can. The city will
find tno a long liver nnd hard fighter. I hnvo
always objected to parting with these lots
and always will. They were the first prop
erty I over Owned In Omaha. I lived there
several years , hnvo nn attachment for
and pride In them which makes mo dcslro to
leave them to my heirs. "
The Judge spoke rather freely and fool-
Inglyon this subject. "It is noulacc , " ho snld ,
"for n market house , and if the association
or the city , oilhcr , attempts to outrage mo
hy co nil scut Ing , condemning nnd appropriat
ing my property , they will have considerable
trcublo doing It. In the flrst place , " ho con
tinued , "I loused these lots to the exposition
people nt a very nominal figure , with the un
derstanding that they were going to put
up something that would not only bo nu
ornament , but a credit to the city. What
was the result ! A structure that is an eye
sore to the public and an elephant to Its
owners , I do not propose to let thorn Injure
no in an attempt to got it oft
Lhelr hands. If the lots were vacant
I would Improve them handsomely ,
i would erect a hotel thcro at n cost of not
ess than $300,000. The city needs such nn
instilution worse thnn slio tloe-t n maricot
lousa. The location for a big , line hotel , is ,
I think , nn excellent one. and the ground is
til I hnvo suitable for business purposes ,
furthermore , I am ngninst having n market
liotiso in the center of the city. When wo
, 01 ready for an enterprise of that kind ,
.hero should bo two of them ono out on St.
Mary's avenue nnd the other in the north
part ot town , somewhere on Cuuilng street , "
At their annual meeting last Tuesday night
the directors of the Exposition Building
association considered a proposition and
agreed that they would offer Exposition hall
and the Grand Oponi house , which are under
one roof , to the city for a public market
placo. The price to bo demanded was fixed
ut fOD.OOO. "Now , " said ono of the inter
ested parties , "if Omuha wants u good
market place , centrally located , it can't find
a cheaper property so well adapted to
that purpose. " This disposition of the
property , however , cannot bo made with
out some trouble , because L. M. Crawford ,
who bus n lease on the opera house which
does not expire until May 1 of next year ,
threatens to oppose such n transfer. I. W.
Minor , who represents him ns local manager
nnd agent , said that Mr. Crawford would
not consent to cancel his lease. "Tho
directors , however , may bo able to satisfy
him , but I don't believe they can. Ho has
already booked a large number of attractions
for next season , therefore to shut up the
house would not only cause him nu immense
nmountof trouble , nut doubtless some of the
companies might attempt to hold him for
damages. "
This new scheme , which if consummated ,
does uway with tlio Grand , has
already caused considerable stir in
theatrical circles. It seems to bo
generally conceded that a now theater
is to bo built. Who will build it ) is the
question. Two weeks ago James E. Boyd ,
Thomas F Uoyd , E. L Blcrbower , D. W.
Hnynes and Charles Ogden organized an
opera house company nnd tiled articles of in
corporation. It was supposed that they had
in vio.v the erection of a now temple ol
amusement , though when asked about the
mutter Mr. James E. Boyd declared that tlio
city hud not reached sufilcient size to justify
the expenditure of $200,000 , or moro in u now
temple of thu muses. Another member of
the corporation intimated that much de
pended on the turn of nfTulrs. and admitted
that they had their eves on two or throe
good sites. "Omaha , " said he , ' 'is big
enough to have a ground lloor theatre. " It
is well known too that other men nro figuring
and consulting. Tlio writer learned yester
day that William H. Green , the real estate
agent , has boon making strenuous efforts to
occupy the field.
Last year the Grand lost § 1,700 , but this
season , Secretary Minor says , it is ahead ,
consequently Mr. Crawford believes that
next season ho will bo ublo to mnko BOIUO
money.
