The rocneil last week , In direct opposition to the ivpnrt of the city attorney , passed an ordir'nee exempting the property. Mayor Cushlng didn't see It that way and at last night's meeting of the council presented o- veto of the ordinance for the reason "That the city attorney lit a report pres ented 1o the council has stated that the city council can not by any ordinance cancel taxes levied rn any property after the taxes have bccoino delinquent. The only way In which such taxes can be discharged is by nction in the council. " The veto was sustained.

Ho suggested , how ever , that in case any funds are received the amounts , instead of being turned into the general fund , should bo paid back to the abut ting properly owners. The ix'tltions of .1. Callahnn and II. ' ? . Clarke for a reduction of taxes were , on recommendation of the city attorney , rejected. The city comptroller reported that ho had examined the rejmrts of the various city ofll- rlnls and found them correct with the excep tion of that made by ex-Police Judge Ifcrka.

[ New York Herald Cuhto Special to Tirn JlEn.1 The remarka ble ( succe-ss which has attended the Anglo- American lodge of Freemasons during Its short career of nearly three ycuw , prompted a de- Hire to have n royal arch chapter attached In Which the duties of nreh Masonry could bo carried out nnd where American and Kngllsh Masons who have attained this degree could fratcrnlzo as In the present lodge. This was carried into effect nt Holborn restaurant , In the presence of many distinguished American nnd Kngllsh Masons , The consecra tion ceremony was performed by Mr. Frank Hlchardson , the grand deacon of the chapter , In the regrettable nbsenco of Colonel Hhadwcll II. Clarke through 111 health. Among the numerous Masons present were Mr. J. C. New , consul general : Motor Forgout , deputy e-onsul gen eral ; Klchard Kvc , Dr. .1. W.Wedgwood. Major ( Jergi Lambert , United States army : Dr. I. Kiirlmriu , California ; Mr. Bmnekstone Baker. The impresivi' ceremony was beau tifully rendered , nn eloquent oration being delivered by Hov , It. J. Simpson , in the course of which ho alluded to the fraternal feelings existing Isctwe'cn the two countries and which ho trusted would long continue. The consecratingotllcers. Consul ( Jcncral J. C. New nnd Colonel Shndwoll II. Clarke , were elected honorary members , General New being warmly welcomed as the successor to Consul General Walker , who was a highly es teemed member and took nn active part in the lodge. Numerous distinguished Masons were proposed as members and the chapter was closed in ancient nnd solemn form. After the banquet the usual loyal nnd Ma sonic toasts were honored. The health of the president of the United States was given by Mr. Branckstono Baker , who represents of states in America twenty-two out forty-eight ica at the gr.ind lodge of England. Ho said this was a toast commanding reverence and respect , being that of the first magistrate of the urst country in the western world. If ho was not an Englishman lie should wish to bo an American. He hud so many opportunities of exhausting adjectives nnd superlative ! ! in connection with this toast that ho would sum it up in oim word , and say that blood WHS thicker than water , nnd that the same feeling existed in the two countries although water separated them. Consul General J. C. New , in response , said that pei-MJiially the president of the United States was his boyhood friend , his young man companion and his friend in innturcr years , and wns equal in every respect to any man who had been president of the United States. Ho was a man of honor , of education and of liberal minded views. The president was n Christian , u scholar and a soldier. He did peed service at homo when solders were needed. If America claimed to bo equal to the British Isles , it also claimed to be their friend , and the president was endowed dewed with more power than the queen. If England ever got into difliculty America would rally to the support of the mother country , for the English speaking people ) dominated the world. There was not in the .United States n well thinking man , who did not believe in the integrity of Great Britain , and who was not in favor of maintaining the ascendency of Great Britain in those parts she claimed.

TRIES TO ABSOLVE HIMSELF Alleged Murderer Frank Tries to Fnsten-tha Oriino 011 Reed , THE SECRET RIDE IN THE DARK. the Siiopcutcil Man Smv ( ho llus- band of Sirs , llocil I'roocrdltifj to Her House Armed nnd otilloi'Hclmoki Tony Frank the nllofreel murderer of Pod- diet * Chronlster , has tukon up his residence with Julloi1 Miller anil scorns to lie enjoying 1.1 foils well as iio < lblo tinder the chvum- stances. Ho spr-aUs very brokenly and has a confusli ) { ? way of mixing up his genders which innkoa it dinii-nlt to keep track of lit.t story. He win brought Into the onico of the jailor ycstenlny to talk with n reporter a nil unswered without hesitation or reserve all questions though , like most uneducated per sons , he doubles nnd repeats till it Is almost Impossible to unravel the jumble. Ho docs not appear In the least alnrmod. He says ho has done nothing and anticipates no trouble1. Thn relations between the murdered initn and Mrs. Heed , iiceordiiif : to LV.iuls's story , were of the loosest diameter and furnished grounds for Heed's jealousy. Speaking of his dismissal from the IJeeil pliiee , frank says that Airs. Heed came to him and said : "Tony , you must tjo away. I don't wish you nround any longer , for Austin ( the husband's iiamo ) is going to kill somebody. ' * The same warning Frank claims camp to him through Charles Stroebel , who , with his wife , live in Mrs. Heed's house , who re marked at the time : "There Is going to bo trouble here I am afraid , ifvo clont watch. " On the nijrlit of tire murder , Frank says ho was nt Farmer Handy's and , making a dia gram of the roads and the farm houses in the neighborhood , showed where , as he was going to Hinidy's , ho met Heed leading a sad dle hor.se and carrving in his left hand a gun. He says he is perfectly positive as to Heed's identity and minutelv describes his clothes ami appearance and the locality where they passed each other on opposite sides of the road. At the same time , he admitted that It was a dark night. He 1ms related this story two or three times without material variation. It is con sidered .strange , however , that they should have como so near together late at night on a country road without speaking or in any way saluting each other. CJIKOMSTKU A. Former AVil'o Discovered XPIUAllu'lKlit. . A largo number of persons called at Ilea- fey's undertaking establishment to see the body of the peddler who was murdered at Elkhorn. Among them was a widow named Leo , who keeps a second hand shop nnd tailoring establishment at 150:1 : Centre street. When she s.iw the face slio immediately recognized it as that of William ClircmMer. She was so affected by the sight that it was some time before she could talk. Hlio said she had been intimately acquainted wilh the murdered man and had known him before his last marriage. Ho was lifty-livo years old and had two grown up sons at Sioux City. Ho hud told her , she said , that ho hud two or three young children at some town in cen tral Illinois. She said that Chronister frequently got part of his stock from her Mora anil she had ( lone ids mending and other sewing for him before his hist marriage. Ho had conic to Omaha between two and three years ago and had married a Mrs. Milliter at South Omaha a year ago List fall. This woman was about thirty-live years old and had three children by a former husband. 'Tho alliance with Mis. Millner , Mrs. Leo said , did not prove u happy one and the two separated a few mouth * ago , the woman adopting her former name , Millncr. There had been no divorce or talk of divorce , so far as Mrs. Leo knew , between the two. Mrs. Millner is at present living in a cot tage west of Albright station and Mrs. Leo volunteered to drive to her places to inform her of the deatli of her late consort. Mrs. Leo said that Chronister had vcpre- sented to her that he was a member of the same church to which she belonged the Free Methodist , but she had grounds to doubt it. She hints that there is a dark chapter to his history in Illinois. Mi's. Millnor or Mrs. Chronister was dis covered at the place indicated by Mrs. Lee , whore she lias been living for several months. She immediately consulted a lawyer and announced that slio intends to como imme diately to this citv and claim the effects of the murdered peddler. She seemed to bo considorablv affected by tho-news of her hus band's death , but was also consoled by the fact that -she would huvu an opportunity of seeing him before ho was laid1 away. TICK WIDOWS STOKY. AH Interview with the Wife of the Murdered Poddlor. The wife of the murdered peddler appeared at Ileafy & Heafy's yesterday and identified the remains as those of her husband. She did not seem to be greatly affected , the only traces being a slight flushing of her face nnd a trace of moisture in her eyes. She is a woman about forty years of age , a little below the medium height , dark complexion , brown eyes and light brown hair. Her face shows signs of a. long and hard struggle with adverse circumstances. She wis ; not unat tractive and was evidently rather good look ing years ago. She was accompanied by Mrs , Lee , who had gone after Mrs. Chronister and returned with her. The widow expressed a dcsiro to see the coroner and was directed to ids oflleo. Hero she made a formal demand -for the possession of Iho personal effects of the murdered limn on the ground that she was his widow. In support of her claim she produced a marriage ccrtilicato showing that on DeeumlHT 1:2 : , 1SS , Mrs. Kmma Leo Milliner , aged thirty- eight , and William Chronister , aged fifty , were united In marriage at South Omaha by Justice of the I'eaco 13. 1C. Wells , in Iho pres ence of Mrs. Carrie Pearl and Miss Francis Harber. When asked to explain what the true name of the murdered man was she said she had alwavs called it "Chronister , " but when the marriage certificate was Hindi * out her hus band said Ids right niiino was "Chronister , " and it was so entered on the certificate. She said , however , that ho was very illiterate man and did not know how to read or write. Mi's. Chronlster said she was a widow with three children , all boys , when she married Cronister. Ho boarded with her nbout a week before they were married. Since their marrlago they had lived together until last May , when ho suddenly left without assign ing anv veabou for so doing. During the time they wen ) living together she said she was obliged to do washing and such other work us she could find in order to keep the family. ( . 'hronUtt-r refused to pro vide any money tpwnrds the household ex penses , claiming that ho could not nuiko any thing at his business. According to her story ho was very quick-tempered and had left for a short time , about three months after they were married. Smeo ho loft her in May last Mrs. Chron ister stated that slio had seen her husband several times driving by the house , and on one or two occaons she asked him if ho was coming back to live with her agnin , but ho always replied that ho would never como back. back.Mrs. Mrs. Chrontstcr.stated also that she had never heard her husband sneak of Mrs. Heed or any other women , and hud no reason to believe that ho hud left her in onler to seek a more congenial companion. Coroner Hiirrigan refused to give the wo man any satisfaction in regard to the dlsposi- , tlon of the wagon and other effects of the deceased. Ho suld that the expenses of the inquest , etc. , would probably imvo to be liquidated from the proceeds of the t > nlo of the effects , and , moreover , ho intended to wait until ho heard from the relatives of the dead man , who hud been communicated with.

Minister Crlt.nl fftivo his guests u IjtUo Hkolch of the llwl evening' of his Intej visit In Friedrieh- sriiho , fiij'3 the Now York Sun. "At the beginning of oitr1 eonvorsntion ; * ' ho suiil , "Bisiimrclc hnd'twn Immense mugs of boor brought to tin. Ho took one of them and shoved the other over to MR * . 1 I'iMiuirketl that I tlnink only wator. He looked tit mo in siloiuv , curiously and almost suspiciously for u minute , and then proceeded with the Mihjcct under tllbi'Uswion. The more Interested ho bo- cumo In our conversation the more fre quently and copiously he drank. After finishing his own mug ho upproplaleii mine without 11 word and put down its contents in three or four tremendous draughts. Then ho had u servant fetch and 1111 two enormous pipes. When he oll'ertul me one of them 1 explained that I never smoked. 'What ! ' ho cried , 'neither drink nor smoke ? What kind of a supernatural man are you , anyway ? ' It was a mercy to both of us , however , that I did not accept the pipe , for Bismarck smoked so incessantly that within fifteen minutes the room was dense. After ho had finished his own pipe lie helped him self to the one that 1 had refused and Kinoked it out with astounding energy. When I rose at the end of the' evening from the table at which we were sitting , the snioku was so thick that I could hardly see the chancellor's face. " The publication of Crispi's story by German dailies has caused the ap- pcaranco of a new crop of anecdotes concerning Bismarck's proverbial ability to consume vast quantities of liquor and tobacco. Bismarck got his education in drinking and smoking when a corps stu dent in Gottingon. "Gottingenfashion" has always been his favorite phrase in describing any particularly artistic feat at the punch bowl or beer keg. In relat ing how he once dedicated a new drink ing cup for the cuirassiers at Branden burg , he said : "I was to drink of it first nnd then send it around. It held about a , quart. 1 heldlny breath , drank out to the very last drop and then set the cup clown empty. They were greatlv surprised , ' for they did not expect such feats from men of letters. But it was ( iottingcn fashion. "I remember , too , " said the chancellor , at another time , "how at the Lctzlingeu hunt witli Frederick William IV. a puz zle bottle was emptied by mo at a draught. The bottle was made so that the drinker could not put it to his mouth yet was not , allowed to spill u single drop. It contained almost a quart of very dry champagne. I emptied it without - , out spilling a drop on my white waist coat. Everyone stored when I said 'another. ' The king Hiid , 'No , yon have had enough , ' and I got no morc " While Bismarck was representing , Prussia at the Frankfort Diet his ability to drink great quantities of wine without losing his head , contributed not a little to his diplomatic successes. At the din ners of the German and Austrian am bassadors wine flowed like water , and every diplomat wnsj obliged to swallow an enormous quantity of it for the sake of his reputation as u Teuton and a rop- roseiitativo of a Teutonic sovereign. "They drank the , wcak headed ones under the table , " BiMiuurk subsequently wrote , "asked them all kinds of ques tions , and forced them to make all sorts of concessions which they wore not au thorized to nuiko. Then they made the poor fellows sign their names. The next tiny , when the weak-hcmled ones got sober again , they could not imagine how their signaturcs"hntl got on paper. " Curiously enough Bismarck is a rather poor friend of the great German national drink. "Tho prevailing use of beer , " lie once said , "is deplorable. Boor drinking makes men stupid , lazy and worthless. It is the cause of all the ' democratic pot-houso politics men talk over it. Good corn brandy would bo better. " This saying of nn old Prussian general is often quoted by Bismarck among his friends : "Red wine for children , cham pagne for men , schnapps for generals. " Bismarck's capacity for tobacco is fully as wonderful , though not so cele brated as his capacity for wine , beer and brandy. Ever since his university days ho has been known us a "chain smoker , " ( kcttcnraucher ) , that is , a smoker who connects his break-fast and his dinner with an endless chain of cigars , each lighted from the stump of the lust one. "Happy maul" Gnmbctta oneo said of him , "happy man ! Beer and smoke agree with mm. " W.V. Lucas , ex-state auditor of Iowa , says : "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Homcdy in my family , and have no hesitation in say ing it is mi excellent remedy. I believe it 'is all that is claimed for it. Persons alUleted by a cough will find it u friend. " Queen Ylutorlu'H Costly Mistake. Queen Victoria is'snid to have a great fondness for pearls. She has taken care that all her daughters shall have line pearl necklaces. One of her first pur chases after the birth of each , has been two or three pearls , and every year until their mnrringo , she has added a pearl or two to her stuck until the necklace she required was ready , says a writer in the Ladies' Homo Journal. In this quiet , economical way she has boon enabled to make up almost a complete rope of pearls for each of the princesses ; and those who have seen the necklaces at court , say that the daughters are , so far as the pearls go , well supplied witli jowelry. Thereby hangs a tnmv Some years ago her majesty bought' ' from a well-known London jeweler throe very valuable pearls , the united ( irit of which was not far short of five hundred pounds. A lit tle while after the purchase had been made , the inerchanv'Was ' surprised to re- receive a letter fronl' a lady at court , which read. ' .The queen wishes very much to know whothUrpoarls will burn. ' The reply n to ' this somewhat tartly scientific inquiry was an assurance that ( her ma jesty wished to oxyffcjiizo pearls for her amusement slio would Hurt that they would burn in an ordinary lire. The rejoinder - joinder brought tho'Hc-crot ' to light. The queen had placed tllo 'pearls ' on her writ ing desk wrapped in'a ' piece of tissue pa per. As she was writing one morning , she used the tlssuo nnjxir to wipe her pen and then throw it into the lire. The pearls , all unobserved , wont with it. The ashes of the grata were searched for them in vain. They had been destroyed so utterly as to leave no trace. The queen with her own hand had cast three splen did jewels , worth more than the average Income of her middle-class subjects , into the blaze.

Marshal Abbey thinks that the party who destroyed the page is no less than Podgett , a friend of Lisk's who , it is elnimnd , is work ing temporarily In a printing oflleo in Hol droge. Less than two hours after Lisk was seen on the street , ho was placed on board the Den ver llyer , reaching here1 as alxivo described. The marshal hud manacled the fellow nt the outset but thought ho could run us fast ns Lisk could if occasion required anel removed the bracelets until this city was reached. The ollleor and prisoner were met at the depot - pot by Detectives Bebont and Haze and ac companied in the patrol wagon to the city Jail.Lisk Lisk is n long haired , low brewed , greasy looking fellow , but is a willing talker. lib' remembers distinctly every detail of his ex perience silica February II , but has forgotten almost everything occurring prior to that time and after February 1. "Do you know .Too Shellenbergcri" lie was asked. "Yes , I have n slight ucmmtnlnnco with him. " I "How long have you known him ? " "I have met him off and on for the last three or four years. " "When did you see him Vistt" "I think it was on February lit that wo separated on u farm four miles this side of Lincoln. " Then Lisk made a statement of how lie and tToo had left Nebraska Citytogetheron Febru ary 11. They started on foot looking for work , begging their meals at farm houses and sleeping in straw stacks for three days. At the expiration of that time , .loo got : i job husking corn and Lisk went to Woodlawn. a small place four miles west of Lincoln. Ho worked there until the -Sth , and returned to Nebraska City , whcro bt > remained until the 1-th of March and then returned to Woodluwn , where ho worked three days , going then to Holdrege , where ho was arrested. According to Li k , Shellenbcrger did not remain away from Nebraska City longer than one week. "When did you sec , loc for the first time after February I f" ' "I can't tell'tho date. It was after he had been working on the ice. He had been paid oil' with it check and I was around with him one night trying to got it cashed. It might have IKVII the ! id or Htl of the month , but I was told that according to the boss' books , it was the 4th. But I can't swear to date on that. " "When did you see Shellcnbergcr again after the night he had the cliocki" ' It was on Sunday , the Dili. I met him down at Heck's house. " "Had you been home between those dates ] " "I don't remember. " "Then ho could have boon away several days and you not know it , could ho not ? " "Yos , I guess ho could. 1 ain't going testate state nothing but what I can positively swear to. " "Then .Too would have a hard time to prove an alibi by you , wouldn't he , Abe ? " " 1 can't swear much as to dates until after the llth. 1 remember that , 'cause that was the day .Too and I left Nebraska , City. " ' "How did .loo act on that Sunday' , the 9th , when you met him at Peek's J'1 "Sort of quiet. Ho was always pretty quiet. " "Ho didn't go out of the house did ho ! " " 1 didn't see him go out. " "How was ho drcascd ! " "I think he had on a dark gray suit. " "Was it now ? " "It might have been. I didn't notice par ticularly. " "Why did you leave your family and get out of Nebraska City so suddenly ! " "To look for work. Another tiling , Ezra Cavolt , one of our crowd , had been creating so much disorder for n few days by drinking and carousing. I was afraid we would all bo arrested. I had no money to pay n line , so I told .foe I was going to pull out. Ho volun teered to go with me nnd wo started about o'clock in the afternoon on the llth. " "Whcro have you Ixion living ? " "Since Christmas and up to the llth day of February I have lived in Nebraska City. I can prove where I .slept every night. " "What work did you do ! " "Odd jobs of all sorts of common labor , principally wnving wood. " "Whoroclld.von put in most of your time when not at work ; " "In .loo Hnabley's saloon. " Lisk admitted furthermore that about the time on which Shellenberger was arrested , a certain Nebr.i.skti City attorney sent for him and talked with him about .Toe's leaving Ne braska City and returning to it on two differ ent occasions. After that interview , ho be came convinced of the fact that the time ho and .loo had gene away together was on the eleventh and that his story to the detective who first tpeiko to him ou the sub ject wiis a mistake. This admission coupled with the mile-long story of whereabouts of the e.'loventh and his Ignorance of them alioiit the time of the mur- eh-r ; coupled with the fact that the detectives got the original statements of all the parlies upon whom the defense relies , convinces the officers that Lisk is playing a part which they are able to show up , St. Patrick's Pills have given mo bolter satisfaction than any others.
