Onptnln Henry Ontloy TellB Whnt the Vnllnnt Colonel Snlcl AVlion Ho Appeared Before llli - Follow onioora. Kn Dorcnao of Colonel Fletcher. Tlio Hovonth day of tlio court-nmrtliil which Is trying the case of Lieutenant Colonel Fletcher at Fort Omaha opened yesterday morning by the reading of the testimony offered the day previous and considerable time was consumed lit that way. "When Lieutenant Chrisrnan vrn i called ho was nsrtcel by the court to specify as to the loud calling which attracted his attention at the time ho saw Colonel Fletcher running from lin quarters towards the city. Ho answered , "My attention was attracted by the accused calling to his coachman , Never mind It , but hitch up and follow mo.1" 'Iho judgn advocate then announced to the court Una the prosecution wa < > closed. t > The defense at once Introduced the first witness , Captain Henry Catloy. Uotcsllllcd that ho wat present at the meeting of ofllecrs at Colonel Fletcher's quartern upon the day that ho made his explanation to Captain Dempsoy. On that occasion Colonel Fletcher told the ofllcors that ho wished to innko an explanation of seine recent trouble. Ho said that ha denied having over charged his wife with Improper conduct with either Captain Dempsey or Dr. Henderson ; that ho never doubted his wife's virtue. Ho uciinowlcdgcd that ho had had trouble In his family , and had used words bo wua sorry for , but ho novoi accused her of anything criminal. Ho aid that ho cuino homo Into ono night and found Captain Dempsey in his wife's room attending his sick boy. Ho loved the boy. and it hurt him to think that a stranger would bo called In In preference to htm. The witness did not think that Colonel Fletcher , in his explanation , admitted that ho had charged his wife with Infidelity , but to the contiary the whole toner of his talk was n denial. The colonel said that ho hail , la the heat of passion , said things ho was sorry for , but nothing to the extent ot charging his wlfo with criminality. The witness could not recollect that the colonel had In any way implied that ho had accused his wlfo of inlldellt.y , nor had ho at tempted to explain what ho had said "when in the heat of passion. " Witness did not un derstand.that ho hud admitted making any cuargos of Inlldollty against hlu wlfo. "What , If anything , " asked the counsel , 'did the colonel say of occurrences that happened before ho had come to this post : " "Ho said that to make an extended expla nation of the trouble In his family , it would bo ncrcssar.Y to refer to incidents that had occurred at Fort Robinson which worried him vary much. " In his cross-oxamluatlou the captain said ho could not swear that Dr. Henderson's name was mentioned nt the meeting. Ho did not pretend to give the colonel's exnct words. "Did the accused say why ho had been ab sent trom the post the night he saw Cnpt. Dempsey at his homo when bis boy was sick I" "He said ho hud been to a meeting of the Loyal Leelon. " ' You had to take much for granted in what Colonel Flotchersaid , didn't youl" | "Mo. I didn't have to take anything for granted. I think all the ofllcors In the post * know what ho meant. " The judge advocate then attempted to av ' aall the testimony , but the nearest ho came to doing so was upon the lust question , wlun ho iibkcd him : "You did not pay very close attention to what the colonel sam , did you , being previ ously acquainted with the facts' " "On the contrary , I paid the clo e t atten ' tion. " "Then please state whatrho suld. " "I cannot do it. " Captain Kollar was the next witness called. His recital of the events ot the meeting was nearly the same as that of Captain Cutley. Tbb colonel , ho suid , had remarked that ho had said things that were construed or could bo construe ! us accusing his wife with criminal intimacy with Cap tain Uempsoy , but the witness understood the colonel to deny having muda thcso charges. At the mooting Captain Mills had told Colonel Fletcher that either he or his Wife had boon told by Mrs. Fletcher , Mrs. McKarlnnd and Miss Mislcoy that Colonel Fletcher had made these charges and Cap tain Mills said ho believed them and this ended the interview. At that meeting Colonel nel Fletcher did not admit ever having charged his wife with having undue intimacy with either Captain Dempsey or Dr. Hender son. son.Tho witness had discussed * the mooting with other oDlcors in the club room a few days lator. The discussion arose from the fact that it had transpired that charges \vuro to bo made against Colonel Fletcher. - "Was there or was there not , " askqd an ofllccr of the c6nrt , "a movement on the part of the oftlcors of this pobt to secure some concerted action by the ofllcnrs In their treat ment of Colonel Fletcher ) " "No , sir. "Was there over any such movement con- tomplatodl" "There was immediately after the meet ing Bomo talk about striking Colonel Fletch er's mitno from the club list , but the matter was dropped without action " First Lieutenant Waring was the last wit ness called before luncheon. Ho told the events of the meeting at Colonel Fletcher's quarters and said that ho understood Colonel Fletcher to have dented making any charges -ot infidelity against his wife. The .juiliro advocate asked the witness if .lie. IIH a married man , would leave his sick child and go to town. Objected to by the de fense and objection sustained by the court. After the brief recess taken to permit the gentlemen of the court to indulge In such re freshments as they mlcht desire , Lieutenant TouMoy was called upon to testify in bohalt ' of the defense. Spouklng'of the mooting at Colonel Fletcher's residence ho said that the accused bad said that thb charges grew out of a conversation ho had had with Mrs. MoFarlaud. In which certain things ho had aid about his wlfo had been distorted by Mrs. McFarland. In the interview Colonel Fletcher started about a dozen times to explain - plain some domestic trouble ho hud m the past , but finally exclaimed , "My Cod ! 1 can not make these matters publlol" The wit ness was very positive In his declaration 'that the accused had not admitted In thai Interview making charge * of intldellty ngaiusl his wife. The witness stated that when the ofliccrs called at the quarters ol the accused , Colonel Fletcher began bj giving as his reason for Jlcnvlng the posi that morning , the fact that ho did not donlrc to light a woman , and loft to avoid scandal , In his explanation Colonel Fletcher said thai ho did not know what his sister-in-law or his adjutant had'suul about him , and had delayed inuUIng an explanation because ho thought every one was uualnsi'hlm , but ho desired the ofllcors to understand the case. There worn no new developments upon cross examination , A servant girl was the next witness called , Shu testified that the had dbno kitchen worli in Colonel Fletcher's family since last April , and was there when Mjs. McForland V.MI visiting Mrs. Fletcher lost Juno. Her name , ho said , was Cecelia Hanson. "During the time that Mrs , MeFarland was there , did you toll her that you had koard Colonel Fletcher tell bis wlfo to go to kolll" sue was naked "I did not. " "Did you over hear him use such Ian piugol" "No. " "Did you over know nlin to abuse hla wlfol" "I never did , " "Did you over tell Mrs. McFurlaud that Colonel Fletcher -had told his wlfo that she shouldn't go with him to another post ] " "No. " "Did Mr * . MoFailand over ask you if you could testify to these things ! " "No. " Cross Examination "Did you ever admit to anybody that you hud hoard Colonel Fletcher toll hla wife to go to belli" "Mo. " "Did you oror admit to anybody that you had neon Colonel Fletcher abujo bis wlfol" Wo. " The witness was then excused , and the court adjourned and repaired to Hollovui upon an Invitation extonded. by Qenerul Urooka. IN THE COUKTS. Tlio CoiiHOllilnted Htrcut Unllwny'fl Answer In the Motor Bait. The most Important feature In the courts yesterday afternoon was nn answer and cross bill filed by Attorney John L . Wohnor for the Consolidated Street railway com * pany. Ho sots forth in brief that the motor company has no right on South Omaha streets or any other streets except In Omahn , for the reason that tbo authority granting thorn their nllcacd privileges in the southern suburb was Insulllclcnt. Ills client , however - over , secured Its privileges In a manner wholly leiral. nnd it Is entitled to as much of the earth's surface as It cures to cover. A number of exhibits were nlso tiled. Judge Doano will hear the case to-day. A now cnso bagun In the district court yesterday afternoon was by Julluno F. Olseu against Frunk and Addle VVassormau.

At a mooting of the commercial exchange of Atchlson , Kan. , Monday evening last , It was resolved to invite cities of the Missouri valley to send representative to a conference to bo hold nt Atchlson , Ausust 14 at2 o'clock p. m. , for the purpose ot discussing the dis criminations made In freight rates by the various roads against Missouri valley points. The circular dwelling on this point , whloh has been extensively circulated , asks that each city send at least five representatives. The jobbing houses her j have each received a copv of the circular sent out. Al. Me- Cord , of McCord , Brady & Co. , when questioned concerning the matter , said : "It is a good move , and one that , receives our hearty support. It Is high time for the jobbers of the Missouri valley to assert themselves. Omaha is discrimi nated against in the interest of foreign com petitors , and the only way wo can remedy the existing evil is to make ourselves heard. Wo can do nothing Individually , but by con centrating our strength wo can move against the opposition with a powerful force. Wo concur In the action of the Atuhison com mercial exchange , nnd I hove written the oHcoi-s ) ot that body to that effect ; also noti fying them that , it possible , Omaha will bo represented at the conference. I think that action in this respect should not bo delayed a point that is really necessary. The wholesale merchants of Omaha have grounds for basing their com plaints of discrimination. The through rates rrotn Chicago to points In Nebraska cannot bo compared with the sum of the locals in any degree of fairness. This applies prin cipally to points In the South Platte country. I suppose the merchants of Atchison are alike situated , and as the points in the case arc Identical , Omaha should bo represented at the Atchison meeting. The railroads hero promised to remedy the through Chicago rate , but us yet no action in this respect has been taken. " Wlljti HNTElb O.HAIIA.

Ho states that all of them have expressed their doslro to gain an entrance to Omaha and that they will accept any reasonable terms looking to that end. JTho question was also propounded by the Union Depot company as to whether they would enter the union depot on ti rental basis established on a fair inter est on the money invested , and the Iowa lines have returned an afllrmatlvo reply. The officials of the Wabash have been also requested to make a reply and it Is thought that the same will bojtmdo in a few days. Railroad NotoH. E , L.

Postmaster Gallagher stated that ho hail received no olllclal notice ot the issuance ol the order , but was glad to hoar that the np pointments had been authorized. "Wo need inoro carriers badly , " said the postmaster. "I expected ton additional men.but can make great Improvements in the delivery service with live more carriers. " With the addition of only flve men to the force In the postofllco it will bo Impossible to increase the number of deliveries in the out side districts now served , but the delivery service will bo extended to Central Park on tup northwest , Dundee Place on the west , and Ambler Place on the southwest.

How the IMntto'a MnrknitiouVcro Yesterday Troatisd to the Dis tinction Which Their Merit Won. The New Trmm. Yesterday morning a magnificent garrison Hag was run up to the top of-Iho stuff which rises from the middle of the square In front of Colonel Henry's ' nnd Major Benhatn's headquarters at the Bollavuo rifle range. There was little breeze to swell its ample folds. As a consequence it hung about the polo not inaptly suggesting the braided streamers of n May day festivity. The work of the competitors had ceased. Their standing had been announced , and as well as mightbelnthcBultryatmosphere.tho hard-worked ofllcors nnd men disposed them selves to enjoy the relaxation to which their work entitled them. It was nlso pay-day for the soldiers , nnd many nn itching palm tound nn easy manner of raising his spirits nnd parting company with his earnings before they had been long In his possession. The ofUccrs grouped around nn elm in the square , and talked of all things bright and fair which ennoble the human heart. They wore a careless , huppj * lot , nnd there wore low among them whom ODD would not expect to II nd last at n feast and first nt fray , if such nn emergency should arise. About noon country vehicles rolled into the grounds. They were heaped up nnd rolling over with collections of all kinds of humanity. Later , fashionable equipages arrived from the city , The occupants were received In cavalier style bv Colonel Hnnry , Major lien- ham , Captain Coolldco nnd the dashing young ofliccrs whoso gallantry is not the least qualification for which they must bo commended. . The UI5 train from Omaha whistled. Of ficers scampered to their tents. The band of the Second infantry , under Sergeant Klnno- man , which had taken position under n blt- ter-swcnt tree , placed itself In position to greet the commander of the Department of the Plntto. At the head of Mio woodland gludo which leads to the grounds , General Brooke , in full dress uniform , was met by Colonel Henry. As both appeared nt the west end of the square , "Hall to the Chief" was played and continued until the colonel's quartern wnro reached. Thorn , with the wind slightly agi tating the foliage , the presentation of medals to the successful competitors was awaited uy n number of people , among whom were : Mr. nnd Mrs. Lewis Keod , Miss Mabel Ualcombo , Mr. and Mrs. Dave Collins , Miss Sage , Miss Williams , Miss ICrag , Miss McCllntoek , Mrs. Thomas Orr , Hon. nnd Mrs. W. J. Council , Mr. and Mrs. P.L.Porino , Miss Grace Ferine , Miss Shooumalcor , Captain and Mrs. Coolidge - idgo , Dr. and Mrs. Haskins , Miss Henry , Mrs. Jowott , Miss Jowett , Mrs. J. K. Cham bers , Lieutenant and Mrs. Ten-ill , General Brooke , department commander ; Colonel Terrell , paymaster ; Colonel Henry , Major J. W. Bnrrlgor , Lieutenant Rowc , Captain Cutley , Lieutenant Kenzlo , Major Blunt , General Kautz , Major Kandlott , Major Chaifo , Lieutenant Wright , Lieutenant Chrlsinan , Lieutenant McClaln , who Is the ilrst ofllcer on the ground to Uko part In the cavalry competition ; Chaplain Nave , Art Gulon , and others , Dr. Henderson and Lieu tenant Wright. At 3:40 : o'clock there was n scampering from the tents. On the south sldo of the pa rade ground tbo competitors formed In a single line under the direction of Lieutenant Gregg , who acted ns adjutant , Colonel Henry being the officer in command. Each competitor carried his trusty Spring field rifle and the breasts of many of the men glistened under an array of medals. Nearly every ono were the sharpshooter's cross , while on the coat of Lieutenant Goodin shouo a largo one for the skirmish contest of 1831 , as also ono for leading in the preliminary practice of the division team in 1SS5. Sergo.mt Deitz of F , Seventeenth infantry , were two department gold medals , Lone Star medals given by the citizens of San An tonio , and a silver medal. Facing this competitor and on the north side of the squad were ranged the commis sioned ofllcers who have , in vuriouswaysbcou engaged in the management of the camp. They bad an imposing effect , being in the mam young , handsome and capable of cre ating a most , favorable Impression. To the right of the latter stood General Brooke motionless as a statue. His arms were folded. Dignity rested upon his brow , nnd tbo bearing of every competitor was in his eye. Behind him stood his aides , Lieutenants Rnvo and Truitt. The line having boon formed , Adjutant Gregg read the number aad the points ob- talnod.m the competition by every soldier who had taken part in it. This pvor , the names of tbo rifle team 'and alternates were road , and. as each name was announced , the owner stepped to the front , with others forming a line between the com manding officers and the unsuccessful marks men. men.At this juncture , General Brooke walked to the front and addressing the soldiers spoke about the important business in which they bad been engaged , and tbo other coining contests. The bard work of the past two months had borne its fruit , and ho hoped to seethe , department team ot the Platte carry ofl the prizes in the division contest. If the team did as well there as it had done la the department , contest , which ho hoped it would , ho would have no anxiety as to the result. Ho greatly regretted that tbo medals bad , not arrived , but they would bo delivered at the first opportunity after their arrival. The general concluded his remarks by congratulating the competitors on their excellent work. Colonel Henry stated that , with the per mission of General Urooko , ha desired to thank the men for the manner In which they had acted since their arrival. Their conduct had been exemplary and there was no reason to.find fault with them. The bund then played , the presentation was over , and congratulations ensued. The team consists of the following men : James A. Goodin , second lieutenant , Sev enth infantry ; Albert Saladln. first ser geant. I , Eighth Infantry ; John Corrlo , pri vate , band , Seventeenth infantry ; Gustavo Ohrenborg , private , A , Second infantry ; Ed mund Gerber , sergeant , F , Twenty-first in fantry ; Beaumont B. Buck , second lieuten ant , Sixtoooiith Infantry ; Leonard Doltz , first sergeant , F , Seventeenth .infantry ; James W. Davis , corporal , B , Sixteenth in fantry ; William Evans , corporal , G , Six teenth infantry ; James Bronnan , first ser geant , I , Second Infantry ; Charles Elwoll , sergeant , C , Second infantry ; Kichard N. Davidson , private , F , Eighth lufantry. The last two are alternates. Lieutenant Goodin receives tbo gold modal , the three next silver medals and tbo last six bronzn medals. The record made by these men Is tbo finest over made In this department , exceeding that of last year by 310 points. The excess would have been greater had it not been for the uniformly unsatisfactory weather which pre vailed during the shooting at known dis tances , which resulted in the loss of at least a couple hundred points. The total number of points last year was 5,710. and of this year fi , { > 35. This great result Is the reward of the unremitting labor which Colonel Henry hns devoted to the practice.

In front of Colonel Henry's quarters were displayed throe sllhoffotto targets which had been riddled \vltljlnilots. ) | One by Lieu tenant Uoodln , ot tbo Seventh , showed 33 hits ; ono by Prlvato Ohroaborir , ot the Soo- end , 30 hits , nnd ono by Corporal Evans , of the Sixteenth , SO hits. The display attracted the attention of every person , the ladles es pecially , who seemed particularly solicitous as to the number ot deadly missiles which had struck the "poor follows' " hearts. A concert by the band kindly granted by Lieutenant Ktnzlo , adjutnht of the Second , n romp in the woods nnd move for the train brought tbo festivity to n close. Last night nearlynll the young men packed up their goods to return homo. The rlllo team will remain n month to indulge In athletic exercises.

Two Imcky Man. Having been asked many times regarding my fortunate investment in the Louisiana State Lottery , I do not object to making n statement concerning it , said A. Keller , as our reporter asked for a statement. Some time slnco I was n member of a club for ono month and sent n couple of dollars to the Louisiana State Lottery , but without draw ing any prizo. This time I sent ono dollar In my own name , nnd received ono twentieth of ticket No. 84,331 in return. This ticket drew the third capital prize of $ T 0,000. I sent my ticket for collection and within five days I received a draft on the Bank of Com- jnorce , nt St. Louis for $3,500. I have not used the money yet. I am well pleased with my investment of ono dollar. Of course I was delighted. I have determined to in vest this money In real estate , and hope to double It by another fortunate Investment. The Lottery company certainly dealt fairly with mo , nnd I shall patronize them afjam. Lamar ( Mo. ) Domocra , Juno 13.

The Hwltchm'on "Please contradict In Tun BEB the report published about the Winded strike of the switchmen of the Unlbh' stock yards. The meoting.ro ferred to was hold In G. A. H. hall. No. 1314 Douglas street , Omaha , Wednesday evening , ! , end was In ref erence to Kansas City matters and had no reference whatever to the South Omaha yurdsfor matters hero. " Manager Babcoek q stated to THU BEE representative that "tlor | had been no action en tending to a strijto nnd that all is going on smoothly und pleasantly. The grievance committee Uatl called on him in a matter , which under IHb existing circum stances it was whollyjinexpodiont to grant , and I so informed them , n As nothing since has ooon done I presume , they are satisfied ns I am confident they ought to bo. " Notes Auouc the City. A score of better pleased , better enter tained and more grateful friends never wont from this city out to a plcnlo than the friends who accepted the Invitation of Mrs. Clarence II , Sobotkor to plcnlo la Hauscotn park Thurs day afternoon. The lunches were as Invit ing as edibles can bo , as palatable as epicures could desire , and served as elegantly as hostess can do or the refined wiib. It was satisfying to the full , The Methodist Episcopal church was filled Thursday evening at the crazy social with friends to enjoy one of the best entertainments and partake of as palatable a lunch as could be desired. The programme was exceptionally fine , the spread most Inviting and the attention and service without fault or Haw. The costumes of the ladies were striking and appropriate and they covered themselves with' as many praises a they added money to the treasury fund. THE PLANS WERE ACCEPTED Final Action of the Council on tbo City Ball Matter. WORK WILL BEGIN AT ONCE. The Board of Public Works Will Hnvo Nothing tr Do With the Disposi tion of the Present Foundation. The New Oltjr llnll. "I'll have the bond ready In fifteen min utes after I roach the ofllce In the morning. " "And I'll have It signed In an hour after It's ready. " The speakers were City Attorney Webster nnd Architect Charley Boindnrf , ns they stood exchanging confidences last night after the council had taken decisive stops toward the erection of the now city hall. There was no trouble in the matter nt all. All of the councllmon were on hand except Burnham , Bedford , Ford and Van Camp. The committee on public buildings nnd prop erty , Messrs. ChafTeo. Wheeler nnd Couns- man , submitted the following report : "Your committee to whom WAS referred the city hall plans would respectfully report that wo buvo examined the same nnd find theai in conformity with these presented by 'Gale City' ( Fowler & Bomdorf ) in competition. Wo would recommend that Fowler & Beln- dorf bo instructed to prepare blanks for the use of bidders ; nlso to prepare a form of ad vertisement for bids. We would nlso rec ommend that this council do advertise for bids ( according to forms to bo prouarod by the architect ) at once for all work necessary to erect and enclose the building. If adver tised at once bids should all bo in by August 91. Wo would further recommend that the city attorney bo Instructed to prepare the proper bond as between the said architects nnd the city of Omaha. " There was but little discussion of the re port. Mr. Counsman stated that the com mittee hud very carefully examined' the plans and specifications und found them coin- nleto and correct in every particular. Mr. Snydcr offered n resolution that no contract convict labor bo allowed on any of the work , nnd Mr. Hascnll put In a clause that all of ihustono cutting bo done in Omaha. Both resolutions were adopted and the report of the committee unanimously confirmed. The question ot tbo disposition of the foundation now in on the city hall site was called up nnd disposed ot by the adoption of n resolution offered by Mr. Wheeler , recon- nidorlncr and rescinding the resolution adopted by the council nt a former meeting , instructing the board of public works to re move and soil the foundation of the city hall. This settled the matter , and the councilmen - men drew long breaths , all apparently satis fied that the final and decisive step had been taken for the completion of the long delayed work. A number of other matters were disposed of by tbo council. The city engineer was authorized to em ploy an additional engineering party during the busy season at an expense of 200 per month. An ordinance was passed ordering tbo paving of Nineteenth street from Leaven- worth to Mason with Woodruff , Kan. , stone , An ordinance for the waving of Twenty-sec end street from Cnming to the alloy north wont to the committee on paving , curbing and guttering. J. Mahoney was granted permission to move a frame building on Thirteenth street , near Jones , while a brick building is being built on lot 8 , block 195. A petition for the grading of Thirty-sixth street , from Center to Francis , was referred to the committee on grades and gradinir. Tbo petition of George S. Smith und others for a change of grade on Twenty-first ave nue , north ot St. Mary's avenue , was re ferred to the committee on grades and grad ing , and u protest against the proposed grad ing of the suld street referred to the commit tee on paving , curbing und guttering.

City Comptroller Goodrich says that Coun cilman Wheeler's statement relative to irreg ularities in the charges made on water hy drants shows a lack of knowledge on his part of the true situation. Chief Fire Marshal Galilean keeps a com plete record of every hydrant in the city.and approves all water bills before they are paid , consequently he is tha proper per son from whom to ascertain whether the company collects the same rent for In tor- media to hydrants as for those at corners. "People are liable , " continued Mr. Good rich , "to bo fooled , because our contract says that the water works company is entitled tea a full price hydrant. Frequently the ordi nance locates them short of that distance , but this certainly does not make them inter mediate.

All of the blocks rejected by Chairman Balcombo , of tlio board of nubile works , were removed on Clark street , but on being sorted over the contractorwas _ allowed to use about one-fourth of them. The remainIng - Ing three-fourths have boon carted away. The work of paving this street is progressing rapidly , nnd the paving will bo complete from Twenty-fourth to Sixteenth street. J. B.

Peddlers Protest. The vegetable peddlers of Omaha are very indignant over an article which appeared m an Omaha paper last Sunday.
