Horriblu Death of Hnuh ItlcGrlevey
nt the Shops.
B Hughoy McGriovoy , a laborer nt the Union
Pacific shops , was killed whllo at work yes
terday morning.
Six men.woro opening n largo Iron caisson
which had been taken from ono of the old
bridge piers. Tno heavy band which holds
the two halves together was cut and when
the foreman gave out the cry , "Look out 1"
nil the men escaped except McUrievoy. One
of the halves , which weighs three tons ,
st.uek and knocked him down. Ho foil on
Ills loft side and the heavy shell rolled from
his ankle to his hip , crushing him fright
fully.
The blood was forced to his breast and
bead nt a terrific speed , and it is a wonder ho
was not killed instantly. .
The force of the blood did not break the
skin of his face but it bulged ins eyes from
their sockets for almost an inch.
The victim was rational for thirty minutes
after the accident.
Dr. Galbraith , the Union Pacific surgeon ,
hastened to the shops nnd rendered 1 mined into -
nto aid , but pronounced internal Injuries to
bo fatal.
Father Illolman , of the Holy Family
church , also repaired to the scone to offer
words of consolation.
McGriovcy was a single man , about 23
jcurs of ago , and was a physical power. He
lived with his parents at 2G37 Blonde street.
Ho bad only been employed nt tbo shops
since the first of the present month.
In less than an hour after the accident Mc
Griovoy died.
Corouor Drexel summoned n Jury and ho'd '
an inquest at the scene of the accident.
Tlio testimony of a dozen witnesses was
taken , showing that the deceased was.work-
Itig under the casting when it broico in two
nnd fell upon him , inflicting the Injuries from
which he died. The jury returned a verdict
of accidental doatb.
NOT BE FORGOTTEN.
Wr. Curtis BpciikH a Graceful Ac
knowledgement to Omnlm.
Just before leaving on the train Sunday
night Mr.William Kleroy Curtis.spncial . agent
in charge of the Pan-American | congress ,
hailed n representative of THE BUB and said :
"I shall feel greatly obliged to you if you will
convey , through the columns of the press ,
the warm appreciation which tnovisiting
fc-outh American delegates have of the gen
erous hospitality extended to thorn by your
city and its press.
"Tho oxLIblt of-wostorn civilization and
culture nnd of wurm-honrtcd Omaha hospi
tality was a revelation to nil. The visit to
TUB Uii : : building was especially enjoyed , as
it was the llrst opportunity that most of the
visitors had had for seeing u metropolitan
dally on Its travels from the composing room
to ( ho folding room.
"I wired Mr. liluine this evening that our
receptions had chanced from an exhibit of
manufacturing industry to a series of enthu
siast lo.ovutlons , . so that wo had little time to
do anything but to receive the hospitable at
tentions of u generous and hospitable pooplo.
I added that perfect wouthor was adding
pleasure to our trip , and that the United
States wore creating a most favorable im
pression In every section upon the guests of
the nation ,
" \Vo leave Omaha to-night after ono of the
most thoroughly enjoyable visits of our en
tire trip , nud the continual hospitality of
your people and yourj generosity m making
the visitors the guests of the city nnd mcot-
Intr ull charges , will not , I assure you , bo for
gotten loua after those who participated
have left this country. "
AMUSEMENTS.
"Mamma , " the now force comedy In which
Ajny Amos and Frank Doshon started out
starring together flvo weeks ago , had Its
llrst production before an Omaha audience
nt the Grand opera house last night. It IK
funny , and is in the bauds of a splendid
company. Miss Amos dropped out nt St.
Paul on Saturday , but her part wus given
to nnothor clovur woman , Miss Julia Allion ,
and she never will bo missed. Mr. Doshon
is a clever comedian , though be tries to
imitate Francis Wilson too much. In comle
stage business nnd ns a slnglnir organization
the company U strong. Will II. Sloan plays
the part of nn Irish policeman very well , und
Fred C. Palmer , as Fur llookawuy , makes
that character just what it U Intended , nn
ideal tough. Miss May Duryea , Miss Anna
Caldwell and MissQuusloUrosch form about
us fascinating a trio of stage loveliness as
uny ono can wish to ad Ullro , nnd they enjoy
the advnutago of being very pleasing artists ,
Miss'Caldwoll and Miss Drosch have excellent -
lent voices end know how to use them. In
fact , the parts wore all well played , the
plot * ) went with a dash and iva well re
ceived , it kent the largo nudieuco in nn up
roar from beginning : to end and nearly every
vocnl number was encored three or four
times. Considering the fact that this was
MIsu Alltcn's first strupglo with the princi
pal star part , that of "Mamum. " she do-
curves grout credit. The same may bo said
of Tom Dayuull. who succeeded Jake Hon.

Mayor Broatch lias vetoed the ordinance
giving the Union Pacific (150,000 In bonds
for vlnauct nod depot purposes , and In n
communication to the council this evening
will explain his reasons for so doing.
' The matter stands this way , " said Mr.
liroatch last night. " 1 have consulted with
the city attorney and wo have agreed
thr.t M the ordinance stands the
city's intercuts nro not sufficiently
protected , This Is not a question of
policy ntnll , bi\t \ in the Interests of the clt.v , I
cannot explain nt length this evening , but In
my communication there nro reasons that , I
nm certain , will satisfy the public that the
right stops have been taken. The company
wants the city bonds placed In the hands of
a trustee , nnd will guarantee $200,000 in
security , so the ofllcinls sny , but in this case
I want to bo absolutely sure that everything

NO KKC5ISTIIATION.
The City Itcclflrnr-1' Decline in Ohey
the Council.
In conflict with the registration law , the
council ut Us last meeting ordered the regis
trars of election to sit every day this week
atthr.ir respective registration headquarters
to record voters for the forthcoming election.
Under the statute , registration may take
place this week only on Friday and Satur
day.
In n canvass of nearly all the wards of the
city , It was found that tbo council's rcsolu- ,
tlon had not bocn obeyed and generally for
tbo reason that It wns thought It would bo
vetoed tonight by the mayor.
Tlio registrars at iho llrst precinct of the
Third ward , nnd the ilrst precinct of the
Fourth ward did not open their books yester
day morning nniiJwlU not until Friday next.
They said they had not been notified to re
ceive registrations yesterday nnd the under
standing was that the mayor had vetoed or
would veto the ordinance authorizing the
books to bo opened this week. They nro
nlv > of thu opinion that but little over a third
of the voters can rcglstoi' upon the remaining
dn.vs.
C.iptaln .Tone" , who is ono of the registrars
of the Third ward In the second precinct ,
stated that inasmuch ns the mayor would
veto the action of the council and believing
that the action was illegal ho nnd the other
members ot the board decided to sit as regis
trars only on the days specified by law.
The registrars of the Second ward failed
to put in un appearance ut the designated
place.
In tno Fifth ward the registration books
were closed. Several persons called to re
cord their names but \vcro refused. The
board considered tbo ordinance passed by
the council as void , ns it was in direct con
flict with the state law. There wns n free ex
pression of citizens about the room , however ,
that tno rcgistratlou law was unconstitu
tional.
The mayor has written his veto of the
council's resolution und In it says that their
action is clearly in violation of the state law ,
which designates the days upon which regis
tration shall bo observed , and those ( lays
onlv. "
Hq also takes the ground that it is not
within the power of 11 municipal government
to pass upon the validity of a state law.
Too Ijnto for Action.
The quo wnrranto proceedings Instituted
nominally by II. S. Hall and Charles Ogdcn
against the supervisors of registration in the
second precinct of the Fourth ward , will bo
heard by the supreme court on the 2oth day
of November. Sheriff Coburn received sub-
po3nas yesterday morning for Alexander
Mclntosh nnd C. Y. Hnunan , the supervisors
ngalnst whom the proceedings were insti
tuted , ordering them to appear before the
supreme court on the day named.
This settles the matter so far as Its effect
on the county election w concerned , as the
registration law must bo observed uutil a
decision as to its constitutionality is reached.
FIRST AVAUIJ r.EPumaoANs.
The Political Situation is .Intel ! ! '
ccntly DUcussed.
The republicans of the First ward met in
Hoffman's hall on South Thirteenth street
last night. In the abscneo of President
Cornish , Leo Estollo presided. George Heiui-
rod , candidate for cuunty treasurer , when
called upon to , speak stated that the only
point which ho desired to impress upon tbe
members of the republican party of the
First ward was. the necessity of voters
registering , so that n fair expression of the
people might bo obtained. "While I am n
candidate , " ho snid , "I hm not afraid to lot
the people say whether I shall or shall not
bo elevated to that position. I am willing to
abide by the decision of the people. " Mr.
Heimrod was greeted with a hearty ap
plause.
Peter Boyson nnd Charley Mack were
placed on the list as candidates for constable ,
und William Dulil as candidate for assessor.
Judge Lytlo took the lloor nnd discussed
the political situation nt some length. Ho
turned his attention to the prohibition move
ment , and said : "A great many people nro
In a quandary. I huvo heard BOWIO of them
say that they uro afraid to vote the republi
can ticket because it moans prohibition.
Now , I want to say to you that we nro not
advocates of prohibition. I feel confident
that Douglas county will , when it comes to a
test , give n rousing majority ngalnst prohi
bition prohibition that does not prohibit ;
prohibition that menaces the industries of u
country and clogs the wheel of progress. It
wo huvo prohibition , so sure will wo have
vacant houses and vacant stores
that nro now occupied m this
city. Our banks will Imvo less capital , und
they would need loss , bccauso our business
transactions would BO seriously and danger
ously Impaired. Now , 1 move that this club
place ittiolf on record , individually nnd col
lectively , as bolng unalterably opposed to
prohibition. "
The motion wns unanimously passed. An
adjournment was then taken until Thursday
evening uoxL when a grand rally will beheld
held , to which all the republican clubs in the *
various wards of the city will bo InvltoU.
Good speakers will bo present on that oc
casion.

Several months ago the deal ns far ns tlio

tlio arbitrary tvtnnd taken by the Southern
Pacific has delayed the consummation of the
deal.
deal.After
After closing negotiations with Postmas-
tor-General Wannmattcr for a fast mnll
circuit , Assistant General Mnnngor Dickln-
BOD , oil bclinU of the Union Pncltlc , went to
San Francisco , whora ho succeeded In galn-
Intr the consent of the ofllelnls of the dila
tory rend to the through fait mall projoct.
Ho icturnod to Omaha nnd submitted the
matter to Vice-President Holcombc. A dny
or BO after his return , however , n telegram
c.imo to the oftcct that the oQlclnli of the
Southern Puclllc desired to reconsider their
autlon.
The matter ncaln assumed n doubtful rip-
poftranwo. But , Into Saturday afternoon , a
dispatch was received to the effect that the
arrangement was at length satisfactorily ad
justed.
As a consequence , two fast mnll trains , to
bo known as No. .1 and 4. will bo put on , run
ning solid between Omaha and San Fran
cisco nnd Omnhn and Portland. These trains
east-bound will bo scheduled at the remarkable -
able speed of forty-four miles per hour be
tween the Pacific coast nnu tills city , nnd
west-bound will bo scheduled at forty miles
per hour between Omaha nnd the i'aciilo
coast.
Under the now tlmo-card , o take offcct
November 17 , Nos. 3 and 4 passenger trains
of the present schedule will bo abolished.
Tno through Chicago-Denver service will
bo continued nnd , us soon as tire per arrange
ments can bo mtulo , the through service will
bo extended to Include all points between
Chicago nnd the Pncitlo coast on the tmo of
the Northwestern , Union Pacific nnd the
Central branch of the Southern Paclllc.
Another important move connected with
the now time-card is the putting on of nn ad
ditional passenger train between Lincoln
nnd Sioux City on the Columbus division.
This will give the patrons of that road n
double daily train service , there being only
ono train operated on the division at the
present time. The following Is the now
time-card which will taho effect November

vice most complete. This is tbo last move in
connection with the establishment of a
through mail service between the Atlantic
una Pacific oceans. Under the terms of the
agreement , the mail In transit from New
York to San Franchco or vica versa , will bo
transferred but twice. Ono transfer will bo
at Clncaco and the other nt Omaha.
Captain W. II. White , superintendent of
the railway mail service , says that under this
chance the tliuo of passage of mail cast

rend , states that the through slccolng car
arrangements that existed between his road
and the Union Pacific were brought to a close
by the Milwaukee road taking off its car.
Ho also stated that the action of the Milwau
kee was owing to the trains on the Union
Pacific being ( occasionally late , unaor which
circumstances the former would have to delay -
lay Us departure or go without a sleeper.

bers wore present , and but little business
was done , the first being the reprimanding
of Officer Everly for leaving his beat.
The question of running motor cars across
the viaduct at a greater rate of speed than is
allowed wagons UQxtcAino up It has been
a custom for a few of the motor men to run
their trains nt a rapid rate over the viaducts ,
nnd when a team is ahead of them to ring
the bell violently , causing the horses to take
fright and in some instances runaways have
besn narrowly averted.
Under the ordinance a team crossing
must not be driven faster than a walk , and
the commissioners do not dcsiro that the mo
tors shall bo compelled to submit to tlio ordi
nance. Nothing was doao beyond discuss
ing the oucBtion.
The matter of selecting new quarters for
the commission was discussed , after which
the commission adjourned ,

CHICAGO , Oct. US. [ Special Telegram to

mer , " says Hon. William E. Mason , the Chicago
cage congressman , who has just returned
fiom n speaking tour In the Buckeye elate.
The Standard Oil company wants to got
Payne back in the semite , und as a result the
democratic campaign fund is full. The in
terest manifesto' ! Is shown by the fact that
in the cities where each voter is compelled
to register the registry in almost us high-as
during a national Contest. In Columbus the
total vote is registered with the exception of
about sixty. 1 ho light mode against l > 'ora-
kor , and which , It is claimed , will lese him
lots of votes , is necauso ho is running for his
third term , but while the democrats were
howling about now many \otes he was going
to lese in consequence , I did not see or hear
a single republlu.iu make that point against
him. The only ones 1 heard snyit were dem
ocrats , nnd they would not vole for him any-
way. Party lines are drawn very close , and
I am satisfied from what I hear that Foruker
will lose n few votes in Cincinnati from the
salooutcecpers. His gains , however , in other
parts of tlio state will uo largo and it will bo
In localities where the democrats are hot
suspecting it. I heard the democrats su.v
that Campbell , the democratic candidate ,
will lese thousands of votes for taking Allan
O. Myers around the state with him. Allan
G. Thurmun , the democratic cod in Ohio , la
very mad at Campbell's actions , and Buys
Myers ought to bo in the penitentiary. I
will say that If the election day proves to bo
a bright , clear day Forukor will bo re-elected
by 15,000 majority. My reasons for thinking
that 'still hunt' in Ohio
so ure a means u
democratic victory , while a loud , blustering
campaign , sucli as this ono is , means a re
publican victory with it roiusng majority. "

was quite a scene in Con cord In hull , when
the great crowd present saw soatud on Iho
stage on either side of Mr. Oowo , , , . .11
Goodman nnd Bill Hurls , who have UIIUI ro-
ccntly been among the most notorious ward
looters in town. Cowon presented first
William Harie , a confederate soldier.

gram to Tun BKH. ] In n little wooden
: hurcu , heavily hung with black and ro-
loved only by the colors of the ensigns of

ceremony was performed yesterday in n for
eign tongue over nn empty coflln. It was a
service In memory of King Luis of Portugal
n Father Scrapu's church of Our Lady ot
tin Kosary , and the chief observers were the
Portuyueeo beneficial societies of this rtlty.
i'lio brethren had asxcmblod at tholr ball
nearly a milu from the church and niarcncd
: liltuor , cscoiting n hoarse drawn
jy six horses and preceded nnd
followed by outriders. Tlio coflln
was a costly wooden casket , covered with
broadcloth. No portrait of King Lula nnd
no suitable uniforms could bo procured as de
sired , so the bier was without the Insignia of
royalty , otherwise the appointments were
complete.
A baud playing n dirge led tbo line to tbe
church , but the casket wutt not taken inside
until after IIIOSH. The blor was then carried
forward to a place before the altar , und was
there raised high above the heads of thu nudl-
cnco , Blx great randies were placed about
while the altar boys held two more ut the
dead and another boy between these two
tield aloft a cross.
The funeral service followed , It was In

of the censor und rusponuivo singing by tbo
choir followed.
After the corcmouy the hoarse and bier
