Hmnll Turnout In New York.
NEW Yonrc , May 1. Tbo New York City
end of \vorld-wldo labor dcmonstrntlon
tonight was not a great success so far as tbo
numbers wbo paraded mid attended the Union
square meeting nro concerned. Probably noti
moro than two thmwnd persons wcro tittbo
'flneukor's stand ntono time. In tbeprocession
that preceded there wcro about f > , ( XX )
paraders. Tbo rain partly excused this ap
parent want of enthusiasm. Tlio meeting-
was under tbo auspices of the socialistic labor
party. The fear that tbero might IMJ some
trouulo bad Induced the polleo to make very
careful preparations , but they wcro not called
.upon to exhibit themselves.
The resolutions adopted recited that tbo
olght-liour domaiul Is only a temporary relief
from capitalism. Nothing but socialism will
solve the labor question. It was resolved
that a demand be made that the hours Of labor
Ixs reduced to eight.
Tbero wore three speakers' stands. The
principal speaker was Scrglus E. Sebovltch.
Ho said tbe meeting was the beginning of tbo
end , but the end would not come until they
bad the earth and the fullness thereof. Ho
concluded bv asking all to bo true to
the red flag. There wcro eighteen
of these red fiasrs displayed
on the stand , but among all tbo banners and
transparencies only two United States Hags
wen ) seen , and ono of these had a bugo skull
and crossboncs printed on It. The other 11 ag
bad a yellow cross beneath the slaw.
Gnnipcrs TalkH.

I incntihosald :
"At tbo St. Louis convention of tbo Ameri
can federation of labor In Decojnbcr , 1889 , wo
resolved upon and decided to mnko an effort
for tbo eight hour movement In 1SSK ) . At the
termination of the labor convention In Paris
In 1839 , bold In conjunction with the
great exhibition , representatives of
nil trades and labor organisations of
the world assembled , but owing
to political questions they split up. I urged
them to join with the American federation of
labor and to unlto on ono thing tbo eight
hour movement nftd they did so. The demon
stration Is bound to bo held at the snmo tiino
nil over tbe world In America , England.
Germany , Austria , France. Russia England
and other countries. Tbe feeling everywhere
Is OMO of intense Interest , AVe want eight
hours and wo intend to get It. Wo have no
other purpose In view. Wo1 have concen
trated Jon the ceighUiour movement first.
They can only postpone It. Wo centre on
ono thing at u time. All other reforms ard.
laid aside until the necessary ono is obtained.
Wo are to win Itif It takes a decade. "

the labor situation hero is problcmat

be followed by a sti'lky in ono or moro of the
building trades , precipitated by the employes
of the pinning mills , as the carpenters

Sioun CITK , Iu.May 1. [ Special Telegram
toTiir. BIK. ] It was a rattling gumo that
ended today In the defeat of tbo homo team
by the Omaha visitors. There Was slugging ,
sharp Holding and costly errors on both
sides. The. Interest was acute from the sixth
inning , the gnmo was tied , till the ninth ,
when tbo visitors narrowly scored the win
ning run. Then the bunch of Omaha fans in
tjio grand stand rent the air with shouts of
victory Omaha started the scoring1 in the
Hrst inning by u hit by Willis , u stolen
base , and another hit by Cunaviin. In the
second , after two men wcro out. Hanraban
walked up to the homo plate , and in response
to the crowd's injunction to "lino her out ,
Ueddy , " sent the ball spinning between
ICcariisnud Walsh fora base , Genius re
peated the operation , and then tbo Omaha
boys magnanimously let themscoroon errors.
In their half the Omahas scored three runs
on hits by Walsh. Clnrko and Willis1 and er
rors by the Com Huskcrs. In the third both
'drew blanks. In the fourth Brosnan rapped
out a hit and was advanced to second by
Kcams' fumble of Hanraban's hot grounder.
Genius went to tbe player's bench
and Brosnan scored on a hit by Burdick
Again in the llftb It was geese eggs for both
sides. In the sixth Brosnan. after a llttlo
preliminary parleying wltlf the ball In the
way of fouls , sent ono of Dad's twisters away'
out into the loft garden , and when ho stopped
running thocoaehor was holding him on third
base. Ho scored the next minute "on a passed
ball by Morun and the game was a tie. For
the next two innings neither club could score ,
although both bud men on bases. .
In tbo ninth was where the fatal work
was done. Sioux City went.out fn 'one , two
three order. Mr. Moran , the young man who'
does the catching for Omnku occasionally ,
was llrst to bat , and'ho playfully knocked thoi
ball away over Glenn's bead. When that
gentleman had dug it out of the weeds and
returned it to his svm athlzlng associate.
Mr. Moran was slandliigdnthlrd.bag , Clarkd
then sent the ball down the right font line ;
It was apparently a foul , but Mr. Blogg dc-i
ciiled otherwise. Moran meanwhile 'had
scored'and the gatna was lost. The score :

FJIEMOST , Neb , , May 1. [ Special to Tim
BKE. ] There has been something of a com
motion among the lawless clementa In Fremont

county's vigilant nnd determined sheriff. For
the past several months the gamblers nnd
lewd women have fairly swarmed in the city

In lighting this clement nt the present ttmo
is the circumstance involving City Marsha
Houck in his scandal nnd the knowledge Urn' '
owing to this scandal Houck will do nothing
to regulttto.tho evil. Houck was permitted to
stay in tho'clty Jail ono night in February
with Gipsy Queen , a prostitute confined
there for attempt to murder nnd awaiting
trial. The deputy sheriff granted him this
privilege. Million removed the deputy , but
Tuesday night the city council , re
fused to accept Houck's resignation
for the admitted disgraceful act ani
ho is still at the bead of the Fremont police.
Houck and many of the lawless elements
have reflected ujwn Million and bo proposes
now to draw the line which , ho says , should
have been drawn long ago. Lust night hr
notified several of the women that they hail
better keep the money they usually pay the

today they have not come into court and made
their usual deposit. Some have gone from
the city. Mnllon also notified the owners or
agents of n half dozen houses which are
rented for lewd purposes that they must re

The grading for the sidetrack to our new
vitrified paving brick and tile works was
commenced yesterday. This will bo a
great benefit to our place. The works
have a capacity of 1,800,000 brick per
month and will manufacture sewer piping ,
llrenrcofing , etc. , in addition. There is no
doubt that Louisville will in time manufac
ture all of that kind of material used in the
state , as her beds of fire and potters' clay are
almost inoxhaustable , Mr. Wade having dis
covered another bed of line clay , covering
several acres , through which they dug sixty
feet without reaching the bottom. This bank
is casllv accessible to the Missouri Pacific
railroad and will doubtless soon bo utilized.
Louisville is beginning to wake up from
her lethargy and will push steadily to the
front. Her new free wagon bridge will soon
be built and the cosh Is In the bank to pay

Fremont's Occupation Tax.
FIIEMOXT , Neb. , May 1 , [ Special to Tun
BEE. ] The latest turn in tbo matter of an
occupation tax is the filing of n petition iu
the ofllco of the clerk of the district court
praying for an injunction restraining the offi
cials from collecting the tax and payments
have been temporarily suspended , The peti
tion recites that they are required by the or
dinance to pay certain sums 'of money to the
treasurer and take out a license before they
can lawfully conduct the business in which
each of them is lawfully engaged. It also re
cites that there was not a legal number of
councilmen voting for the ordinance and that
the mayor illegally voted , ho having cast
what Is termed a concurring vote ; also that
two members of the council who voted for
the ordinance were not legal councilmen , us
the municipal year had closed and their suc
cessors should have been installed and have
acted In the matter. The mayor , marshal nnd
clerk are made the defendants und Juno 2 has
been fixed as the day for filing their answer
to the petition. Meantime there is a good
deal of vexation of spirit manifested on every
side.

"A Tin Soldier" was the attraction nt
Boyd's opera bouso last night. This , like all
of Hoyt's- satirical comedies , still retains its
popularity and makes people who go to see it
enjoy themselves. The company , however ,
has been changed entirely , though It is equally
as good , with probably ono or two , exceptions ,
as any of its predecessors. Louis "Wesley
is nn improvement on Cantleld as Hats , und
fully up to Jimmy Powers , wbo played the
part originally. His imitations of an all-
'round , want-to-bo-tougb voung man are ex
cellent and bo puts n great deal of funny busi
ness into bis performance. Miss St. ( jcorge
Hussey , as Violet Hughes , a domestic earth
quake , deserves moro consideration than any
of the so-called Irish character actresses ever
seen here. Her dialect surpasses nil the oth
ers ; she enjoys the advantages of u somewhat
musical voice , and is a splccdid dancer. Miss
Nellie Hawthorne , Miss Fannie Bloodgood
and Sliss Lottn Hollywood as Victoria ,
Bridget , Patsy and Corry Story , respectively ,
were very clever. In addition to being pretty
girls they can sing nicely , net pleasingly anil
dance cleverly. The other principal parts
Canby , a practical plumber , by Paul Dresser ,
nnd Brooklyn Bridge , bv Robert C. Vernon
were also well taken. As a whole , the com
