room and asked tier if she was awake. IJtv
celvlng n reply , ho told her if she made a
noise he would kill her , and Inquired if there
were any men In the house. She
told him there were none1. He then
went through some bureau drawers ,
scattering things about , but taking very lit
tle , While ho was doing this , Mr. and Mrs.
U rimes , who slept oft from the front parlor ,
awoke and discovered the front door open.
Mrs. ( li-lmes arose , lit n lump , nnd Mr.
lirimt's secured a revoluer and they began
looking about , though thinking the burglars
had gone. Mi's. CJrnnes. with the lamp In
her hand , looked Into the hallway , and at the
topof the stairs saw a man standing. She
instantly shut the door and locked it , and
with Mr Grimes istood guard. The man gave
n bound to the lloor below and tried to push
the door open ; crying , "Put out that light ! "
Drucing himself against it , ho gave a
heave mid the door gave way and
Mrs. Grimes and the lamp went to the floor.
The lamp broke and the oil took lire , but Mrs1
Grimes put this out by covering it with her
dress. Mr. Orlmesshot twice at the man.
One of the balls went into the carpet mould
ing in the hall and the other struck the man.
The burglar saw Mr. Grimes and llred four
shots at him. Two of them went into the
wall und one into the window casing. Tlio
fourth struck Mr. Grimes in the face and cut
through the eye and lodged in the brain. Ho
fell to the lloor , overturning a stand ,
and the burglar made for the front door , stci > -
ping on Mrs. Grimes as ho went , severely
luu ting her , and also tipped over a center
table. The burglar ran out of the front door
ami down the terrace , leaving tracks on the
ground , and at the southwest corner of the
street leaned against the fence and on the
Hidewalkaio the blood stains und also on u
step a block further away.
Excitement ran high when the neighbors
found that Mr. Grimes wits shot , and threats
were made that-the fellow would Uo strung

The Gi-aiul Army.
Drs MOINIla. : . , April ( I. [ Special Tel
egram to Tin ; Mm : . ] The Grand Army closed
its annual encampment tonight in a blaze of
glory , with a Joint installation of the newly
elected oflleew of tlio Grand Army of the
Republic ami of the Woman's Uelicf corps.
This morning's session was devoted to re
ports of committees. There was a long nnd
interesting debate over the question of recom
mending the erection of a solders' monument.
At ilrst the old soldiers were much divided
on the question , many of them thinking that
If tlie monument were built they could not
have a new hospital for the soldiers'
home , but a number of thu leading
Grand Army men , Including General Alger ,
CommamlerSmith , General Given and others ,
explained that the project would not conflict
with the monument , and so strongly urged
the Importance of puttingupsuch a memorial
that the encampment voted for it almost
unanimously. There was developed also a
strong feeling in favor of a modified service
pension , one which should put the ago at fif
ty-eight instead of sixty-two , as the present
house bill in congress does.
In the election of olllcers this afternoon
Mason P. Mills of Cedar Kapids was an easy
winner for department commander. Ho was
a candidate at ] ! iirliii ton last year , nnd
ne.irly won , so that his eleition was well
assured this time. It is an interesting coinci
dence that the Illinois department just elected
an Iowa soldier as department commander ,
and now Iowa elects an Illinois soldier.
Colonel Deslin , the now Illinois commander ,
served during the war in the Seventeenth
Iowa infantry , and Captain Mills served in
the Seventh Illinois cavalry.
The Woman's Heller corps elected Mrs.
Osgood of Mount Pleasant as president. The
ladles turned out in largo force , there being
about -Hit ) members of the corps present.
There were no special features to their meet
ing , outside of the transaction of the regular
business ,
The encampment has been the greatest
Kiiccess in the history of-tho department. Tlio
attendance has been very largo and the en
thusiasm unbounded. General Alger said
that the gathering was the largest ho had
seen In all the states ho had visited. The
next encampment will bo held at Dulmq.no.
Tonight the old veterans are having a jolly
time at their meeting and Informal gather
ings at the hotel , where they are hinging war
Bougsiiml tolling war stories.

tonight : "You can say that within u day or
two tlio non-association of bosses will have
all their men at work again at union rates and
hours , while the carpenters' and builders'
association will llnd Itself reduced to the ne
cessity of coming to the strikers' terms or re
maining without help. " Tills arrangement ,
if made , will result in more than half the
.strikers going back to uo'rk nnd will
strengthen the cause of the others immensely.
The strikers have pickets at all the depots
and suburban towns und whenever they llnd
men coming to town to work they generally
succeed in inducing them not to. The strike

they say they nro prepared for an all-summer

claim they will fall back on ttio national

organization In the United States. The strug

bosses declare that they will not do this.

for u public building nt Gnleshurg , 111. ; the
senate 1)111 ) to amend the third section of the
Interstate commerce net.
Mr. Wilson of lown offered n resolution ,
which was Halved to , instructing the commit-
tco on interstate cointnereo to inquire what
wUIItloiml legislation Is necessary in respect
to commutation nnd excursion tickets to prevent -
vent the abuses now existing In regard-to in
dividuals nnd localities.
The house bill appropriating $7. " > ,000 to 'sup
ply the delleleni'y occasioned by the Sllcott
defalcation passed.
The senate then resumed consideration of
the Montana case and Mr. Pugh concluded
Ills arguments in favor of the democratic
claimants.
Mr. Turplo presented nn argument on the
same side of the question. The canvassing
board at Hclciiu hud no right to throw out the
abstract of the returns at precinct It I. They
hud not dared to throw out the abstract for
the wliolo county because that would have de
feated the republican candidate for congress.
Mr. Turpie characterized the rejection of the
votes of pivcinct.lt as an act of "strangling"
on the part of "three thugs of the returning
board. " Further on ho spoke of the canvassing
board "a coil of udders "
ing us trlplu , com
posed of a chief justice from Verulam , a sec
retary from Sodom nnd a governor from
Gomorrah , and ho wound up within scathing
denunciation of all concerned.
In the course of the discussion na to the
time for a vote it was stated by Mr. Morgan
that the democratic senators were ready to
vote upon the question without further de-
bato.
The offer was accepted on the republican
side , but the arrangement was defeated by
Mr. Call taking thu lloor and stating his de
sire to address the senate on the subject to
morrow.
The Montana election case having been laid
asldo Mr. Halo asked unanimous consent to
have the Chinese census enumeration bill
taken up and disposed of , but Mr. Evurts ob
jected , and then Mr. Halo made u formal mo
tion to that effect.
The motion met with resistance on the re
publican side , but all the democrats sided
with Mr.Hale , and the vote resulted yeas ,
! IU : nays , I'J and the b.Ill was taken up.
Mr. Hale said he did not desire to take up
tlmo with the bill and was willing to proceed
with a vote on the pending amendments nnd
on the bill.
Mr. Evarts said lie regarded
tins amendment reported by the
census committee as an improvement
on the house bill and was willing they should
bo adopted , but as to the merits of the bill it
self , It was his dcsiim and his duty to debute
It and at some length.
Mr. Mitchell explained the purpose of some
ami'iinmi'iits which ho offered. Ho did netlike
like the bill very well as it came from the
house , but as amended by the senate commit
tee it was , ho said , absolutely worthless and
insulllclent. Ho desired to have the pending
bill amended to require Chinese to show that
they were residents on October , 1SSS , ( the
date of the Scott law ) instead of , as the sen
ate amendment proposed on June 1 , IS'.tO. ' Ho
asked Mr. Halo whether ho was , willing to
give u certificate that should bo as good as n
"ticket of leave" or a ticket of stay to those
Chinese who got into the country unlawfully
since October , 18SH.
Mr. Halo admitted that ho was willing to
give amnesty to the live , hundred or live
thousand Chinese persons who came since
October , 1S8S , for the sake of closing the doors
In the future.
After further debate the senate adjourned
without action.

ican republics and the Dominion of Canada.
On motion of Mr. Strubel of Iowa the son-
nto amendment was non-concurred in to the
house bill providing for town , site entries of
land in Oklahoma , and a conference was
ordered.
The house went into commit too of the whole
on the naval appropriation bill.
Mr. Wilkinson of Louisiana said ho would
not emulate Great Britain in building ships ,
but China had a bettor fighting armament
today than the United States. The govern
ment had been taking extreme measures with
China. It wan a part of proper precaution to
build ships which could cope with those of
other nations upon which contumely had been
cast. Ho advocated the establishment of u
navy yard at Algiers , La.
Mr. Adams of Illinois said the people ho
represented were anxious for a navy yard at
the mouth of the Mississippi river.
Mr. Colemun of Louisiana advocated New
Orleans.
Pending final action the committee rose and
the house adjourned.

The House Agricultural Committee
Kcoiens the Hearing- .
Wvsuiwrox , April 9. By request the
house committee on agriculture reopened the
hearing on the Conger lard compound bill and
the Butterworth anti-option bill , both of
which have been reported to the house , with
favorable recommendations on the first named
bill. Messrs. A. Graves , representing the
Georgia agrienltur.il association , and J.I' .
Jones , representing the colored cotton far
mers of Arkansas , both colored men , made
arguments against its passage.
Graves pleaded for the protection of the
cotton seed industry against the 'burdens im
posed by the bill on the ground that it hud
contributed more than anything else to Im
prove the condition of the colored farmer and
laborer of the south. To pass this bill , , ho as
serted , would bo the entering wedge which
would separate the colored people from the
republican party.
Jones , in the course of his argument , said if
cotton seed oil must bo taxed why not tux
western liogsi Why break down one indus
try that another .should bo protected i The
republican party is rommittcd to the policy of
protection of American industries. But had
it placed in the Chicago platform the singular
crcedthut one industry should bo taxed to
death that another should bo protected the
party would have been buried so deep by the
weight of public disfavor that Gabriel's
trumpet would not awaken it. The sys
tem inaugurated by the republican party of
taxing one industry to protect another will bo
reSl-nted by the great mass of the people , and
the party that insanely attempts it will bo
hurled from power. "Tho democratic party , "
Jones said , "Is committed to ftvo
trade. If there Is anything In their profes
sions wo confidently look to them to defeat
tills most pernicious measure. This bill ,
stripped of all disguise , resolves Itself Into
this condition -tlu > western hog against the
southern negro. Which will win ! There are
over two hundred oil mills , mostly In the
south. They employ nearly seventy-live
thousand pel-sons , nioro than three-fourths of
whom are colored men. At least three per
sons ivly on each of these T5tX)0 ) for support.
The passage ol this bill would close up many
of those mills and entail hardship and want
Uxm a people least able to stand It. And all
this to protect the western hog.

TII i-l * Notes.
A largo crowd assembled at the Grand
opera house lust evcnllig to witness the ten-
round meet between Harry Gllmoro , the
light-weight champion of Canada , nud Jimmy
Lindsay , the local llstle star. The contest
was for scientific points , the winner to take
75 nnd the loser ' > per cent of the gate re
ceipts. After several minor preliminary
events big Jack Davis , who Is to light Joe
Choyoskl , the wonder of the coast , before the
Occident club of 'Fiv.co , May ! M , and
Jack Hynn , another big one of the cleverest
make , gave a throe round set-to that , as
usual , was a corker. These two good-natured
pugilists are able to give the llnest exhibition
of any artists in their line in the country , and
they are very populnr with the fancy of the
city.
Following this came Gllmore and Lindsay.
Many of the audience wore disappointed In
tliis premier feature of the show , as they
wanted to see blood and plenty of It , and u
climax in the slmpo of a knockout. A cordon
of police stretched across the front of the
theater , however , had a decidedly modulating
tendency upon the strength of the blows ad
ministered by the two men , and their bout
was almost wholly devoid of any mil excite
ment. Hill McCune. the Irrepressible , was
the ivfereo , master of ceremonies , towe !
wafter , bottle holder and factotum iiiguner.il ,
and at the expiration of the stipulated mini ,
her of. rounds decided the contest a draw
which was highly proper under the circum
stances. Ollmore demonstrated most clearly ,
however , his wonderful cleverness , and con
vinced tuo crowd that ho is about the
best lightweight ever seen in
this "neck of the woods , so fai
as artistic and effective sparring goes any
way. What ho would do in a light Is another
thing , for u battle for blood and a contest foi
points with n battalion of the bobbies in bald-
headed row are- two entirely different ani
mals. However , it is presumed that the Ca
nuck comes pretty nearly being able to holil
his own with any man in his class in this
country. Lindsay's effectiveness , it should
bo added , was samewhat marred by a painful
accident that befell him early in tt.c contest.

Fifty-Four IJlootly Hounds.
CIIICAOO , April 0. [ Special Telegram to
Tnr. Bnc. ] Abe Couglo nnd Jim Dohonoy ,
Chicago heavy-weights , fought fifty-four
rounds in a barn ncarShelby , Intl. , atan early
hour this morning. At the call of time for
the ilfty-llfth round botli men were completely
exhausted , and the referee declared the fight
a draw. The light was fiir > 00 a sido. Two-
ounce gloves were used according to Marquis
of Quconsbury rules. From the very start it
was plain that both men were in deadly earn
est and that the light would bo for "blood , "
and it was. It is seldom that so much
gore ii ( seen outside of a slaughter
house. Each man seemed to bo able
to punish his adversary soverelv. bitt
utterly powerless to protect himself.
The result was that both fighters were ter
ribly punished.
Couglo won first blood In the eleventh
round and after that blood flowed freely from
both men. Each led for the head and face and
generally landed. The consequence was that
Dohonoy'p head was swollen till it looked
like n small wash tub and the left side of
Cougle's face was out , of all proportion from
roimitcdly stopping Dohouey's right.
When tao men reached the city Dohoney's
features wore In a chaotic state. His nose wni
broken , his loft eye was hermetically scale. !
and scars crossed anil recrossed each otl.e'r
on the rest of his physiognomy like red lines
In u railroad map. His right fist was ludly
swollen , the result of misdirected s\\'i' < s at
Cougle's head. Coujile showed most of his
punishment on the bodv , there In-lni , ' a patch
as largo as a mini's hand on his left side. His
mouth and lower Jaw were considerably en
larged and lucer.ited. Along about the
twenty-fourth round a swinging swipe on the
Jaw hud smashed the mounting of a false
tooth and the twisted plate cut deeply Into
his cheek at each succeeding contact with
Dohonoy's fist. The light as mi exhibition
of gmneness and from a betting point of view
was the greatest ever fought In this vicinity.

Association Goes lo I 'alrhury.
The board of directors of the State brood

Lincoln , W. L. Williams of Fiiley , J. C.
Kcrstenscu of Fnirbury , Ed Pyle of Ilnm-

this city , completed their session at the Mer
chants Tuesday evening.
After the election of II. S. Kced on the ex-
dcutivo board to fill the vacancy occasioned
"by the deatli of Charles McCormiek , tlu < bids
fur the locution of tholifth annual meeting
were opened. There were bids from this
city , Wuhoo and Fuirbiiry , and the latter
being the best , the meeting was awarded to
that place , and the time set for the 10th , 'JOth
nnd'tilstof August.
This disposition of the meeting
is a sad commentary on the
enterprise and liberality of Omaha citizens in
terested in the turf , when it is considered that
the comparatively paltrv sum of $ NK ) would
have seen rod it for this city. Air. Mount
iiliuiu offered to guarantee { .100 , and Nat
Ill-own $100 additional , but the requisite f-JOO
mnro was not forthcoming. Now if any
Omaha man has a home to enter for the Fair-
bury meet itwill cost him at least Rid for
transportation upd other expenses , and those
who have two , three and oven more her os to
( inter will be put to double the expense that
would have devolved upon them by contrib
uting proportionately to the fund that
was necessary to 'secure the meeting
for Omaha. This will bo tlio fifth
annual mcetlut ; of the association , and as an
idea of the advancement they have made in
this period of time , it is but uesessary to state
that at the initial meeting thoio'wero UMS

session there Is already over one hundred and

Two or more burglaries and nearly a d wn
attempted ones were reported to the police
yesterday foromwu , but the ofllceis kept their
mouths shut about them so far as reporters
were concerned. As usual , however , a Be u
man got thero. It was the'southeiu
district of the city which suffered ,
ami a searching i-ystem of imniir
ie.s turned up the fact 'that between
the hours of about 10 : UO Tuesday night and I
o'clock yesterday morning a dozen or more of
the llnest residences and several kiss proton *
tious ones were sensationally tampered with
by dark-houred marauders , who seemed to bo
out for a red letter occasion.
The vicinity of Thirteenth , Fourteenth
Fifteenth and Vlntnn WHS found to
have played fnycritc with the level's of
darkness and big chances. At "tiO'.l South
Fifteenth Dr. .1. C. Blrney and family reside
Mrs. Birney was ill and her father was sta.\ -
Ing up with her , a lamp being burning , thot g'.i
turned low. About : t o'clock Mrs. Bliney
heard a window opened in an adjoining room ,
and almost beforesho ; hail tlmo to speak two
mule figures glided Into the room. Ono cov
ered her father wi'li ' a revolver and de
manded that he throw up his bauds and tell
( hem whore the money was.
" 1 have no money , " coolly replied the aged
gentli-inan.
"When' is your clothing)1' )
"In the next 1-00:11 : on a chair. "
One of the mt-.i then siMivhed the clothes ,
finding > ! , which he appropriated. In the
meantime the fellow kept the old man covered
with a gun , threatening to blow the top of his
head off If he moved.
"Take whatever you can llnd in the house ,
men , " saiil Mis. Birney. but don't harm
cither of us , for I am very sick. "
"We'll not harm you if you'll keep your
mouth shut , " said one ol the thugs. Proceed

gold watch and chain and Dr. Birnny's n.-
volver. After getting these they HIM ! .
Then it seems the burglars went around the
corner to the residence of W. D. Cook , 1 III
Vinlon. Cutting a bole in the blind and then V
prying the window until the fastening broke
off , they climbed into the ilining room , tool ;
down a. hanging lamp , lit it , put it mi tlu <
table , and explored several rooms. leniug be
hind them big tracks of their muddy boots
But they must have become scared before
getting any plunder that , suited them , as the
family do not miss anything , and didn't
know the house had IK-CII entered
until they got up this morning
They came very near knowing , however ,
as the visitors left the lump th y had lighted
burning at. such a furious rate that it would
certainly have exploded had the family been
a half hour lat : < in risim : .
From Mr. Cook's buck yard the burglars
seemed to have stepped directly Into that of
John L. Hill's. 'J : m South Thirteenth street.
They entered the Hill residence ) by raining
an unlocked parlor window , making their ei -
trance with such a niceity as to avoid hnncK-
ing over a costly and very fi agile stand which
stood almost in front of it , and which showed
Hill's clothes , the burglars seemed to have
been satisfied with taking therefrom a gold
watch and chain and all the money there wns
in the pockets , about f'.i. ' The family kni-w
nothing whatever about the house having
been entered until they got tip In the morn
ing. Airs. Hill is parliculnrlv chagrined over
the fact that the watch chain was taken , as
it Wiis one which she gave her husband last
Christmas. She paid . ' ! : ) for it.
Having gotten two gold wiiti-licsand chains ,
the whole valued at ? ( ) ) , together with ? ia i.i
money , the burglars seemed to cumo to the
conclusion that they could afford to tuKo
a- longer skip for their fourth visit ,
and next , t-ickl'il N. J. Smith's resilience ,
yiliO Tenth ritreot. As they were rnisili'-
front parlor window , after having pried off the
catch , ono of thorn entered. Mr. Smith's sleep
ing apartment is Just in the rear mid at ono
side of the purler. Mr. Smith hoard the wii--
dow being opened , and springing out of bed
concealed himself behind the stove in the
back parlor. A moment later and a great
light flushed up and then instantly died away ,
by some contrivance in the hands of the
burglar who , unfortunately , ho was not hi a
position to see. The next instant Mr. Smith ,
being without a pistol , cried out , " ( let out of
here , you eurscd devil ! " The burglar 10-
spomlcd with "Your money or I'll shmjt
vim1 ! "No you won't ! " continued Mr.
Smith and added "Tlmro nre four men In thin
house and I advise you to leave. " Strmnni
as it may seem the burglar crawled
buck out tin' window , but as ho did
BO lircd a shot into the room. Yesterday
morning it was found that the bullet had en
tered the ilioi-plowing a big hole in n new und
very extensive Brussels carpet that had Just
been put down.
Switching around the Smith house and tak
ing a buck yard route , the whulo.i.ilo thugs
made a break at Lee IC.'ttollo's
house , opposite , on Ninth street. Here ,
however , they W"Ue up Mr. Kstelle's
bull dog , and a moment later Mr. Estclln
himself , who .succeeded in netting a shut atone
ono of them.
Turning back Into Tenth street again , and
taking a Jaunt which nut them away from
thi'ir now thoroughly aroused neighborhood ,
the persistent brace of housebreakers suc
ceeded in effecting an easy window entrance
at IWls South Tuath , occupied by two familli s
named Ferguson and Yoder. Hero Mr Fer
guson and wlfu were maito to gaze down a
pistol barrel fur several minutes , but to no
profit to its owneiy.
