Bcnnie Day Ch-rccd with n Most llevoltlmi Criiif * . A beardless boy by the name of Bcnniu Day , nged about iili , wus arraigned yesterday On the charge of attempted rape on the pjrson of Daisy Woolwme , a little suven-yuar-oid girl. girl.The The little girl was put on the stand and im pressed with the necessity of tolling the truth. She then told the story In all its dis gusting details in a hesitating way , but with every evidence of truth in bur appearance and voice. She related that she went into the small store on the corner of Thirty-first nnd Corby streets in Omaha View ono week ago last Sunday , In the afternoon. Young Dny hud an organ in the store , and the Hale girl und her two younger brothers were ut- , true ted by Day's playing and went into the store. They asked to bu allowed to play , too , and were allowed to do so. Thu boys bo- camu tired of this fun in u short time and went out , leaving the littlogirlwith D.iy. Ho picked her up and carried her into n sidu room , which was used as a bed room , and put her on the bed. He then took unwarranted liber ties with her , and afterwards exposed his puraon to nor and endeavored to induce her to commit a most beastly und unnatural cnmo. Before ho could accomplish his hel lish design thi ) two little boys came back nnd ho desisted. Llttlu Daisy then went homo and told hur mother what had hap pened. The counsel for the defense subjected the llttlo girl to a critical cross-examination but could not shako her testimony in thn least. The llttlo girl's mother was then put on the stand nnd corroborated Daisy's story as fur us the hitter part wus concerned , adding thnt she hud gone to Day's placu of business and usked him nbout the mutter. Husaid hn wus very sorry for what occured and begged her not to suy anything about it. During the time tneso witnesses were giv ing their testimony Day sat quietly by , not in the luust concerned , ii'id at In tervals ( milling Idiotically as somu portion of the testimony struck him us being very funny. Hn bears a villainous looking fnco. When he Was placed on thu stand ho seemed to bo Impressed with the ridiculous aspect of the cuso , and grinned ut nourl v every ques tion. Hu told his story , which agrcod In ncurly evury particular with the onu told by the little girl. Hu stated that ho kept u nur sery store ut the corner of Thirty-flrst and Corby streets , for his father. When ho cutno to the portion of his story relating to the bedroom ho said hu hud carried the llttlo ono in the room and put her on the bed , but wus only playing with her.

The committees , consisting of the presi dents of tbo different tabor unions , met at the old council chamber last night to rupert progress on the arrangements for Labor day of Merchants' week , Kvorythlng was reported - ported us' progressing favorably , with every indication of n most successful showing , A resolution was passed requesting thu flru und police commissioners to allow thu lire depart ment to take part in thu purudo , A iiONG BKSU1ON. The Hoard of Kilucntlon Work Until Mldnlulit on Koutlno Iluslncffl. A very largo amount of routine work , most of It neither Interesting nor Important , was accomplished by the school board last night. Fir t of nil , the secretary was Instructed to redeem a $5,000 bond , which represented the Indebtedness on the Dupont school. Superintendent James' annual report called attention to the fact that the Increase In school attendance was greater In projrar * tlon than the growth of the city'a ' population. There are now 20,5IU children of school ago In Omaha , of which number 8,801 nro In regular attendance nt the schools of the city , or an Increase of fill nor cent In two years , In 1883 the attendance was 7,134. ! These fig ures would indicate n population of l'XJOUO In IbSJj nnd of ll'J.OOO ut the first day of the present year. Ho urged ihbt the Jackson and Pleasant schools be closed , on the ground thnt they are not needed , other schools in the vicinity having capacity to accommodate the pupils of thcso two schools. In a general way Omaha now ranks along side Kochistur , Worcester , Providence und other cities that never heard of Omaha until u low years ago. Thu resignation of Charlotte C. Bogen , of the Lake school , was accepted. Mr. Millurd also proffered his resignation , stating that ha had less tlmu to givu the work than it should havo. The board , however - over , declined to let Mr. Mlllard ruslpn. Mr. Stor ? , who had paid u llcensu of $13 on a pool table , wanted togot it back from thu school board treasury , nnw that the license law has been repealed. The Judiciary com mittee reported thnt Storz wasn't entitled legally to the monuy , but In equity it was decided to refund cloven-twelfths of the sum. sum.On recommendation of the high school committee , .Mrs. Adele 12. Kobortsou wus elected teacher of German , nnd Miss Bessie Snider teuuhur of Latin In the high school for the ensuing year. Other applications for various posi tions were referred. Chairman Wehrcr reported that the cost of u holler house and water closets at the Park school would be * 5UUO. Awards for supplies for the next school yuur wuru imulous follows : John A. Wukciluld und George A. Hoag- land , lumber and building material ; John A. Cuulfiold , crayons , school books and miscel laneous articles ; Gibson , Miller & Ulchurd- son , paper , school blanks , etc. ; Nebraska Fuel company , coal ; Jeff Bedford , wood ; Nebraska Chemical company. Ink. Mr. Clark wanted the board to divide the bids. For instance , Bedford bid lowest on soil coal and Mount & Griffin lowest on hard coal ; the Nebraska Fuel company's bid on both was lowur than either of its competitors. Mr. Clark thought Bedford should have the soft coal contract , and so on. Hu thought the board should commit itself to such a policy , but the board thoughtother- wiso. John Hanon wus chosen engineer of the Irgh school. Thu committee on sites nnd buildings recommended that a silo near Fort Omaha bo purchased ut a cost of SJ,5UO ; a situ in Bedford Placu of four lots for $ .1,500 ; a situ .in Ivount/o Place for $8,000 ; additional grounds to the Hnrtman school site at u cost not to uxcced ? luOOH ; additional ground at Center school situ , ono lot , for $ J"iOO ; u site at Gibson , one acre , for $ 'J,500 ; u site in vi cinity of Windsor Place , not to exceed $5,000. The committee also recommended thut n building bo cructed on the Hurtman school site ut a cost of not to exceed i.VJ.OOO ; n building on tbo Long school site not to ex ceed $ : tO,000 ; a buildtni ; ou the Franklin school site forSttO,0K ( ) ; ono nt West Omaha for $ .TOUIH1 , , and un addition to the high school for " 75,000. If thcso buildings uro constructed it will relieve ten or twelve tem porary buildings , which can then be moved to new sites requiring more room. Thu board wasn't ready to adopt anything so broad , so the recommendation was placed on file. Just u few minutes before midnicht the mooting wus adjourned until next Saturday night. NEW FlUliDS FOIl OMAHA. .south UiiUo'n'fl Grain and HO H Cry Tor n Mnrkut. The Watertown , Dak. , excursion will leave the city this evening. It is intended by those having the project in charge to show to the business men of Omaha thu ad vantages that region affords to this city. The excursion has been but sparingly adver tised. but there will bo nevertheless a num ber of representative business men of Omaha on board. Mr. James Walsh , a well known resident of Douglas county and also an owner of Water- town realty , and at whoso suggestion this opportunity was given to the members of the Omaha board of trade aud such other business men of the city ns should desire to do si , to visit the most fertile region of South Dakota said to-day : Thu people of Omaha uro not alive to the advantages of huvinc direct commuulcatlon with this town of Watertown , They have thuru unparalleled advantages for bulldinc up a big city. The rusourcus of the tribu tary territory are almost inexhaustible. Thu Jim Hiver valley is unsurpassed in its pro ductiveness as far us small irrain and corn Is concerned , and thu farmers of that region have awakunod to the fact that they can iiiuku more money by devoting their corn to fattening hogs than by sending it to Chicago ut 80c pur bushel , and for the last five years , as the slock shipments will show , taken from thu Chicago stock market , South Da kota has scut u lurgur pur cunt of porkers to Chicago than any otlior western state or ter ritory. Therefore in addition to sending the small grain to Omaha , South Dakota if direct communica tion wuro obtained would most materially Increase the stock receipts at South Omaha. and no ono could arguu but thut this would buof the greatest benefit to the city pcoplo. So I claim that though the excursion has not been advertised us it should huvo been the trip cannot bu without- favorable results to Omaha und 1 think that uvcry wholesale establishment should bu represented. " 'llio I'ariidc. Major Clarkson nnd about forty of his aides met In the Mlllard hotel parlors last night to talk over the general arrangements for the Merchants' week parade. Each as sistant marshal wns instructed to use every endeavor to have his division as attractive as possible. The object to bo aimed at Is qual ity more than quantity , It is proposed to oc cupy the wholu widMi of the streets by hnv- tug the wagons und floats three or four abreast instead of in single file. The prau- tlco of huvlnir empty wagons In line will not bu allowed. The nim will bo to have the parade - ado us attractive us possible In each lino. A meeting will bo held on the evening ot the Ulst , at which tlmo the marshals will report the names of all linns who will send wagons , etc. , for the parade. The line of march will then bu arranged , and all minor details com pleted. It is expected that thu line will bo at least two miles In length. to Weil.

John WIIH Short on Dross Hut Lone on Magnetism Bint. York WI B Infill- tinted nml Her Cousin Loved Him Well. An Adonis In the Ken li. John J. Hardln , of Omaha , Is charged with bigamy , nnd the circumstances of his alleged crhno involve the happiness and character of the widow of a well known Denver man , says the Rocky Mountain Mows. Hardln is on Omaha sport Ho once owned n btoro there nnd sold sporting goods. Bnt Denver ' knows him best for the female bicyclers wh'o visited Denver last Juno. How few of these who watched the gaudy panorama of tights glide around Broadway Athletic park im agined that the manager of the show was preparing to carry away one of Denver's bcnutlcs a charming widow , not yet thirty ! Such was the fact , however , and lhat unfortunate - fortunate lady was Mrs. Florence Yoric. Her husband , Mnrlln W. York , was for merly a baggage master ut the Union depot. Previous to that tlmo ho had run , ns a con ductor on the Union Pacific , for which rood ho hud worked for upwards of fifteen years. These fifteen years of his existence were spent at Golden and Denver. Ho was uni versally esteemed and highly respected by all who know him. It was In Golden that he mot Miss Florence once Scott , a winsome maiden who had Just received her diploma from n school nt College - lego Springs , In. Miss Scott and Mr. York were married nbout 1SS1 , she being nbout twcnly-ono years of age. Martin YorK died October last , but Iho young wlfo loft free to wed again had lost none of her beauty or wealth of graceful charms. These attributes completely won the regards of John J. Har dln , und eight months , or less , after the death of her husband Mrs. York became the brldu of Hardln. ENGAGED AT TI1K DIUVB. There are many strange thlues connected with the courtship of the pair. Mrs. York became engaged again before her husband had been dead four months. She mot the man ut Council Bluffs , In. The introduclion came shortly after her marital ties had bcon severed by death. Mrs. York had been on a visit to Massachusetts , the nalivo state of her deceased husband. Having a cousin re siding in Council Blufts she stopped to pay a visit. Here she mot Hardln , who. it is al- ICKcd , was keeping company with Mrs. York's cousin. Although the cousin was u married lady living with her husband , Hardln's culls were encouraged , and the woman , it Is avowed , planned to secure n divorce from bur spousewhcn nho und Hurdin would wed. Mrs. York became aware of these fuels , mil , nevertheless , when her superior beauty began to lurn Iho current of Hardin's fickle devotion to herself she was pleated and promised to bo his wife. The memory of the good man who had been her husband , whose grave wns yet unmarked by a stone , seemed to have faded entirely from her memory. She was rendered powerless , apparently , by 1IKK NEW IN'IHTUATION I'Oll 1IAK11I.V. Hardin was a rough man and not ono a lady of education would bo expected to form a friendship for. Ho were n slouch hat , dressed carelessly and did his courting with out collar or tie. Nevertheless , the inex plicable power that ho u icldod plunged two loving friends into the vortex of personal war. Mrs. York and her married cousin both asserted their rinht to the possession of the mngnotic Hurdiu. The cousin by priority of claim ; Mrs. Ycrk by virtue of a diamond ring that sparkled on the third flniror of her left baud. One thine bccunia evident. The Iowa lady was not to bo distanced by a visitor. Tno war mostly raged , woman-like , in fiery words , wuxod hot and Mrsi York' ceased to bo u visitor. She left her cousin's house. The young widow wns the victor. The lowly Iowa residence had no more charms for Air. Hurdin. But whither did Mrs. Yoric gel That's the ques tion several are asking. Abnor Scott lives nt 8240 Curtis street. Ho is an engineer On the Union Pacific , and is u brother of Mrs. Florence York. Ho op posed the marriage with Hardin , and is very much mortified by the strunge alliance of his sister. Mr. Scott says that ho behove * his sister went to an unclo's at Masterson , Iowa. To that place , at least , he forwarded the ticket that brought her to Denver , but the report is alleged to huva como from Miss Edith Scottt , sister of Mrs. York , that her sister left her cousin's to board in the same hotel that sheltered Hardln. All of these events occurred between Oc tober last , when Mr. Yoric died , and May 1. About the latter date Mrs. York returned to Denvor. She did not return to her old homo nt 3031 Wclton Htrcot. For it must bo said that Mrs. Yorli had not lived in poaeo with all her neighbors. The reports of her courtship und engagement had also become current gossip among them , and the woman decided to occupy different quarters. With a portion of $0,000 , received as insurance on the life of her deceased husband , she purchased the little cottage ut U24i ! Curtis street. But the widow-sweetheart xvas not to bo left to her solitude in the Queen city. Hardin followed her to this place , und with great Jov Mrs. York received him. She gave a party In honor of his arrival and , in the presence of a few friends , while the brilliancy of her diamond paled the liiiht of the chnndcliar , announced John J. Hardln as "my future husband. " "Who is this manl" Inquired Mrs. Scott , her sister-in-law. "Why , Mr. Hurdtn. He's worth $75.000 , " was thu reply. "How do you know ! " "Ho told mo all about himself. " His word was as good to her as the cold itself. All her friends importuned her cot to marry the MAXAOUH OF THP. IIKSI'ANOI.EI ) IlICYCt.CIlS , hut all to no avail. "Then wait , " said Mrs. Scott , "until you have known this man better. And then , poor Martin I How recently ho diod. " "I am old enough to tano cure of myself. John has told mo all nbout himself , " Mrs. York refused to take udvico. The subtle wiles of the showman had secured u firm hold upon her affections and nothing could shake off the Infatuation , On Juno 1'J last the wedding look pUieo. The consummation of Iho event is another illustration of the influence the wretch Har din wielded over the woman. They had not planned to bo married , Hardin had begun to get scared , fearing that his doubtful inten tions would become known. Ho was bound for Australia with his bund of female bicy clists , and if ho could but roach that conti nent with his newly wedded brldo ho thought ho would bo safe. Ugly rumors begun to waft themselves around the neighborhood where the ill-fated alliance was known und talked of. "John Hardln has a wlfo living in Omaha witli two little children , " was the startling announcement that wont from liouso to house. It cnmo to the cars of Mrs. York's friends and finally was convoyed to that lady herself. Mrs. York was greatly agitated over the report , but 1IAIID1N SAID IT WAS A LID , and she bolievcd him. Hardln now began to fool that ho would rest bettor If a large stretch of country lay between him nnd Den vor. On the Will of Juno ho called on his brldo. "Florence , " said ho , "wo must bo married to-night. I must leave Donvor. " "Oh , John , it is so " "Now or never , " remarked Hardln. "Surely , John , surely you don't mijrtn that yon would desert mol"ploaded Airs , york , "I mean tiiat ! uin go'ihg to tOavo Denver and unless you marry uio to-night you will never sue mo again , " The deceiver had spoken and Mrs. York consented with Iho servitude of a scared child. The Rov. Charles H. Marshall , of Trinity Memorial church , performed the ceremony in the parlors of his private resi dence. But fuw know the bonds were lo bo scaled und thuru were but two witnesses to the contract , u borrowing brother and his heart-broken wifo. They had ploadud with Florence to remain firm and wait , but the advlco was thrown away. Hurain und hit ) bndu loft Denver for the wasi In company with the female bicyclers. They were accompanied uv her little girl , four years of ago. Mr * . York hud had two children , nnd onPTvns burled the satno month Its fattier Avfti luld awny. But eight months gone and WfWod to another man. Did Mrs. York iWtfher first husband ! Tea a neighbor she said she did not. Martin York was an fjcMfcnt man In his family. Ho helped to Mippbrt Mrs. York's brother nnd sister , and when her mother was on her last bed of slckncss.lio administered to her with n tenderness ono would show lo his wlfo or own mother. "To know Mr. York wns to esteem him , " Bald a neighbor to Sinews reporter. "I do not love Mr , York nnd I "nil ) NOT MAittir IIIH fen uwn , " remarked the wlfp'-'ono day. She hnrt ix queer wiiy of tolling.nil her troubles nnd prl- vuto affairs to her 'acquaintances. "I was engaged to bo married to another , whom I loved ; n quarrel separated in nnd I married Mr. York to splto my olhcr lover. Ah , yes , I have been sorry for It I" "But , Mrs. York , how kind ho Is nnd so regular ut homo. " "Ho is kind , but t can never love htm. If a man gives mo the money I don't cnro whether he comes around or not. " These remarks accredited to the unfortu nate woman shed some light on her nnturo and furnishes an explanation to a degree of her reasons for linking her Ifo with Hardin. He made her believe ho wus wealthy. At the lime of the marriage Mrs. York owned about IIO.O- , * worth of Denver real estate. Hurdin probably married hur for that prop erty. It wns a great shock to the friends nnd relatives of Mrs. York yesterday to read In the NUWR thnt Hardin was a bigamist , that his second marriage wns illegal nnd that Mrs. Hnrdln I , , residing In Omaha , had brought suit for divorce on the ground of ndtiltery. "It's terrible ! terrible I" they exclaimed , "but wo are not surprised. AVe expected something awful lo come of it. " "Poor Florence" wus the recipient of n great deal of pity , but all thought it was her own fault. She did not enter the last mar- rlaco In Innocence. She was aware of all thu facts in the case , but In the ni.iN-iNis : np unii LOVE , If such It can bo called , she refused to In vestigate. Three weeks ago Iho couple wns In Salt Lake with the bicyclers. Their uoxt stopping plnco is Portlnnd. They are now in that city , most like. At any rate ihey have left Suit Lake. When Hnrdln hears that the ofllccrs uro after him It is thought ho will hasten ut once to Australia. Some think ho Intended never to return to this country. ' Do y ou thlnkMrs. York will relurn to Denver ! " asked u News reporter of Mrs. Scolt. "Oh , no , " with a deep sigh , "she'll ' proba bly remain with him , woman like , ns long ns she can. " Hardin will will have no difficulty in per suading the woman that the legal proceed ings are the result of a conspiracy. Mrs. York has u father , step-mother , brother and sister living in Steamboat Springs. THG I1ORSI2 OAKS WILL 'GO. They Will Soon Bo Supplemented by Cable and Mectnc Motors. Mr. Frank Murphy was seen yesterday evening , shortly utter his return home from New Yorn , by u BIE : reporter , and in reply to an inquiry regarding anticipated results in the shave of more street railway Improve ments , ho said : "I went cast solely on private business , did not look after anything else , and know of nothing to suy about slrect railway improve ments.1 It had been rumored that Mr. Murphy's chief object In visiting Now York was the placing of Omaha consolidated street rail- xvuy bonds , but if that is a fact ho declined to say what success , was met with. "I might say to you , " ho continued after a few moments hesitation , "that we will have ton miles of cross lawn motor line in opera tion by thu middle of September , and expect shortly to supplant nearly all our horse cars with that means of locomotion. " Being questioned again ho stated that their first system will c'xtcnd from Hanscom park to u point neat * Fort Omaha. The track running through 'Park avenue , Leav- cnworlh Sixteenth Cuming and Twenty-fourth streets is nearly ull completed , poles an ) up for the wires , an immense power house , located on Izard street , is nearly finished , the machinery is being placed , and a number of cars wore shipped yesterday from the manufactory. Inasmuch us it will ba the great pleasure route , passing over none but paved streets and through well built sections , they hoped to have the line in operation by fair week , but some unavoidable delay has made it im possible to get ready by that timo. Mr. Murphv says that the feeling among Now York bankers with whom he talked indi cates easy times so far us money mat'crsnre concerned , though ho thinks there is hardly as mnch of the dross coming west seeking investment us there wus last spring. PAIR WOltKEItS. They Are Busy Hemline Out Cata logues and Other Information. The corps of workers at the headquarters of the Omaha Fair and Exposition associa tion nro busy sending out premium lists to all parts of the state and points con tiguous to Omaha. A package of these lists is being mailed to every railway depot on each line running in and out of the city. Those making special requests for the pam phlets are also being supplied with them , so that the people of Nebraska , Iowa and Kan sas will bo thoroughly supplied with this document. The book also contains the re vised supplementary sheet gotten out ufter the original list had been published. The management of the association Is pleased with Iho demand for lithographs of the Rov. Dr. Talmugu and information about the fair. While the supply of lithographs has been exhausted , the fund of Information remains good , and is being supplied In large quantities. From the letters received from Iowa , it is believed that Omaha will draw an unprecedented number of visitors from that late. Assistant Secretary Briggs Is being kept busy now filing entries. These are coming in rapidly , and thn general display will bo ex cellent , an well us the departments crowded , The cattle exhibit , which has always been good , will bo butter this year than anything ever seen on the Omaha Fair grounds.

Tcel nrrlvod in this city for the purpose of having Major Teel locate the place where ho hud buried some cannon in April , 1803. At that time Albuquerque was In thejpossession of the rebels , and Ted's battery was part of General sibloy's command. To prevent the cannon from falling into the hands of the union forces Major Tool und some of his offi cers buried them ut the dead of night. The common soldiers knew nothing of it. The other oflicers have since died or were killed und Major Tool ulono knew the spot where the cannon wuro interred. Ho jiointed K out mm went on his way to El Paso to-ilay.

Sir John .V < ; Ionil ) : I I'rcclpllnteH a I5IC Kiiut ; Itow. OTTAWA , Out. , August 111. Special [ Tolo- iram to 'J in : BISI : . ] Sir John A. McDonald lias grievously insulted thu French pcoplo of Canada , and i.s now almost universally exe crated by them. During the summer of 1887 Admiral Vignes. of the French Atlantic squadron , visited Quebec and Montreal with Ins flagship , La Minerva The admiral and Ills ollli.'crs were lionized and the enthusiasm with which they were greeted pointed with unmistakable ovldonco to thn lingering love for old France and the tri-color which still trarncd in thu hearts of thu French Canadian iieople , Tliu French ollleers and their com- iiatriots on this side of the Atlantic met as brothurs of one nationality and thu demon strations assumed rather tlio role of a na tional fete than a mere reception of oil leer * of the French navy. Shortly alter the visit if the La Minurvu thu British man-of-war Tourmaline arrived at Montreal. There wus no demonstration or manifestation of loyalty toward -he liritisli flag - tiuyond u quiet re ception given by a fuw of the British speak ing residents of tlio port to the oftlccis of the Dritish ship. Any one who tiad ever doubted the latent loyalty of the Frunch-Catiudlun icopie to thu flag of old Franco must then Imve had tnobo doubts dispelled. Thufcu facts wore all laid before Sir Johu A. McDonald , who had always counted for i large support from tlie French Canadian jleinent , and readily s suing the danger of ul- owlng thcso demonstrations to continue ill their wjrk of sowing thu seeds of dissunslon mil strife umung the French of Canada , ho requestud Secretary of State Cliunlcuu to luy the matter before the British foreign ofllcu , .hut tliu facts might no communicated to the Crunch government with the request that , hu.u obnoxious visits of vessels of the French iinvv to French polls in Canada bo discontinued. Of this nothing was Known until u few lays ugo , when , in asking for an explanation From the French government for re fusing to allow him to visit Quebec ind Montreal In hin flagship , Ad- nlr.il Brown do Collision , now cnm- naiidliig the French squadion in thu Atlan tic , w.ib Informed in reply that under rupro- snntatioim ma.lu by thu IJiiiiliilon govern- nunt thu minister of foreign affairs hud re- juestcd thu minister of inurinu to abstain roni allowing ships of the Fruncli nuvy to enter French ports in Canada. Even thu agitation of the Jesuits estates bill sinks Into insignificance in the face of thu ox- citiimunt which has been aroused through this disclosure. Sir John never expected thu story to leak out , und thu facts would probably icvtr have become public had tlio French admiral not naked for un explanation. Ho says , however , that ho , with his officers , will shortly visit Montreal in u Huml-olllcl.il wuy , vhcn prob.uily ono of thu greatest demon strations tliat has ever taken place In Canada vlll bu accorded thorn as an evidence of the mflu'iiation with which tliu French Cana dian people of Quubuu regard the action of jlr John A.
