I.X , Nob. , Fob. 7. [ Special to Tun
Bej5. | The much-talkcd-of case In which At
torney Walter M. Woodward ( not Captain
W. H. Woodward , Captain L. W. llllllnKs.
toy's partner ) has played such n prominent
part , was ended today , nnd resulted In n vic
tory for Mr. Woodward. The case was ono
Involving a legal point us to whether nn at
torney In the state of Nebraska can obtain a
Judgment In the courts of ttiln stnto without
coming under a criminal clause of the Ne
braska statutes of IS37 with regard to the ex
emptions of the wage * of laborers , etc. Tor
this reason the coso has attracted universal
attention on tbo part of attorneys and cred
itors ibioughout the cntlro state. Many
lawyer * say that if the criminal feature of
tbo net will hold nttonioys criminal the scope
of the statute Is moro fnr-reaclilng than was
nt first supposed by the legislators who en-
i.ctod the law.
The history of this case in brief li substan
tially as follows : Attorney Walter M. Wood
ward sued George M. Wobu , a B. k M. on-
Mnccr , on n promissory note , which had been
I Ivcn for house rent nnd waa long since due.
'J ho caio was set for trial December 1 , 1S90.
'j'tio defendant Webb appeared by attorney
and continued the case for thirty days , prom-
1 .Ing through his attorney to pay $ i" > of the
Indebtedness and secure plaintiff on the
l.nlnnco out of bis next month's pay. Ic-
i ember .TO cnmo , and defendant's attorney
appeared and refused to further represent
him , giving reasons therefor , upon which
Woodward took judgment by default , nnd
issued execution , which was returned , "no
property found. " Then Woodward swore
out annflldavitnnd gamlihmcnt. Answer
day wns set for January 5. On that date
there wns no nppunranco on the part of defendant -
fondant , or attorney to represent him. On
January 10 the court ordered tbo garnlsheo
to pay In.
On January 17 , twelve days after the
Answer of the garnUheo , tbo defendant by
his attorney Hied a motion to discharge the
garnhhce , claiming that the money was ex
empt. On the 20th of the same month
attorneys pro nnd con argued tlio motion ,
which wui overruled on ac < omit of the court
not having jurisdiction over the money , the
cash not being in court. The defendant
failed to except. On the 2Jd of the
month tlio money was paid into court and
Attorney Woodward being present , demanded -
od the snmo in writing , nnd the court paid
ttio money over to him , taking his receipt
therefor. Then Webb brought suit against
Woodward under the statute mentioned
abovo. The case was tried February 5 , and
today Jnstlco C'ochraa rendered his decision
in the matter , which was in substance that
Webb had lost his rigtit by his own neglect.
The Judpe called attention to the fact tha t
Webb had failed to claim his exemption
within ton days from the time that the B. &
M. company Hied Its answer. The answer
was filed February 5. The exemption claim
should huvo been lllcd on or before February
15 , but wns not ,
I& wns expected by the attorneys of the
city that Cochrau would ofllcially pass upoa
the constitutionality of the law , out ho mod
estly evaded this. Personally , however , ho
expressed tlio opinion that the law was too
sweeping.
IIOIIUAX WAS FINED.
Henry Hohraan , the music dealer who was
arrested for assaulting Mrs. Anderson , a
widow jvbo had jilted him , was arraigned
Doforo Justice Brown. Ilohmnn endeavored
by honeyed words. to have tlio lady drop the
prosecution , but she refused to do so. The
lady gave some very damaging testimony ,
and alter listening to it Hohmnu refused to
go on the stand. Ho said that ho was drunk
at the time of the assault ana did not know
what ho was about. The judge assessed
him $10.
MAllY llllinOS AtlAIN.
Mnrj Brlggs 1ms again forced herself upon
the attention of the police. Mary i ? a young
woman of considerable avoirdupois , not ex
actly insnnu , but rather foolish. About S
o'clock yesterday morning Mary telephoned
from East Lincoln that a man out there had
grossly Insulted her and she demanded the
presence of the police instuntor. Finally
Mary grow tired of telephoning and tramped
into ttio station. She was started towards a
justice's olllco , nnd that was the last heard of
her until last night , whoa she was brought in
by Ofllcor Adams for riding on the street car
nnd refusing to pay her faro. She protested
her undying love for overv member of the
pollco force except Oillccr MoWlll-
lams , but was nevertheless locked
up in the woman's department. Her
request for a deck tof cards nud
a lover iielng denied , she took n
chair and broke all the windows
in the cell and then fed the chair to
the stovo. She was afterwards removed to
the main part of the jail and allowed ttio
freedom ) f the corridor. The Judge gave
her a line of $ 'i nnd costs and she was sent
back again. Abont 11 o'clock this morning
she blow out the gas , hut Jailor Barnes dis
covered this and turned it off. A few min
utes afterwards smolto began pouring out of
the corridor , nnd when tbo Jailor rushed back
in ho found that she had taken some boxes
nnd broken thorn up , piling the pieces in a
heap next the rear door'of the corridor , nnd
upon this bho had thrown some hot coals
from the flro in the stovo. She was com
placently watching the llamos licit up the
door whoa tlio jailor appeared and stopped
the work of destruction. The only excuse
Bho gave for the act was that it was too dark
for her comfort. She was locked up tn a cell
for snfo keeping.

Tlio Richardson drug company re
cently moved into tholr now bulliHiiL' ,
corner of .Ttickson nnd Ninth streets. It
isu niiirnifccntbuildlnKof | ! cutstonoaml
jircHscd brick , and ono of the most , sub
stantial structures with which the job
bing district of Oiimlin ubotuuls.
The Richardson drug coimmny wns
established some forty years ago , with
lioaclqiuirtors in St. Louis. They opened
tholr Omnha house in January , 1887 , ami
niter tlio fire of January 1 , 1889 , uhich
completely destroyed the St. Louts
house , Onmha became the headquarters
of thin Immense concern.
Your by year they have witnessed n
Jinndsomo fnuroftso ih their business un
til tiiolr old quarters on Jones strcol bo-
ciimo too small , and finding thomsolvcs
crowded concluded in thu early part of
1890 to seek a moro dcsirublo location.
In looking over the jobbinp district
they selceted tholr present site with n
view of contml location , nearness
to the freight depots of the Union
Pacific and Burlington & Missouri
railways as well as to trackage facilities
for the receiving and shipping of goods.
That they succeeded admirably la shown
by the fact that they are now situated
with trackngo on two sides ; within n
block of botli the freight depots ; acouplo
of blocks from the now union depot , In
course of construction ; as well ns being
within easy access by electric motor and
cnblo from any part of the city.
The now structure of the Richardson
Drug Co. has a frontage of GO feet on
Jackson street and runs back on Oth
street 132 foot to an alloy. It is five
stories nnd basement high , with lurgo
vaults extending under the east and
south sidewalks. It is a most massive
building of cut stone and brick and the
entire arrangement throughout is duo to
the president , Mr. J. C. Richardson ,
who lins given a grosit amount of
careful consideration to the plans in all
their details. The largo experience of
this gentleman in the drug business en
abled him to glvo Omaha a business
house so thoroughly arranged in all the
minor details as to bo noticeable to every
visitor , and it is certainly nn institution
of whlph any older city could well bo
proud , as it now ranks as the most
complete drug house in this country.
Thohuilding throughout is lighted by
electricity , heated by steam nnd thor
oughly equipped with the latest inven
tions in both passenger and freight ele
vators.
The main entrance is through an
arched doorway which brings ono into
the ofllco , the elaborate fixtures of which
are of butternut wood , highly polished ,
while the desks , chairs and of
fice furniture are of polished
oak. On entering at the right
is the otlico of the vice-president , Mr.
C. F. AVellor ; extending along the east
sldo are a number of private olllcea of
tlio company as well as the mailing de
partment , cloak rooms , ate. Immedi
ately in front of the entrance to the
olllco is the "city desk" with the clerks
in charge and where nil city orders are
received. Buck of this comes the numer
ous bill clerks , stenographers , type
writers , etc. To the loft of the maln-
ontraneo is the oflico of the secretary
and treasurer , Mr. Amos FiolJ. Next
comes the cashier and book-keen-
ing departments occupying the
entire west side of the room.
Special attention has been given to the
arrangement of ( the cigar department ,
which is enclosed in glass nt the rear of
the office , with ample shelving for the
carrying of 500,000 cigars. A water
tank , suspended from the coiling , with
a stream of cold watorconstantly flowing
in nnd out of it , keeps the room at an
oven temperature both day and night ,
thus keeping the cigars in a perfect con
dition. This is anew idea , and ono that
commends itself to the cigar trade.
Ono of the noticeable features of this
most exquisitely arranged ofllco is the
number of incandescent oloctrio lamps
with which the colling is studded , as
well as a generous distribution of the
same about the desks.
The plan of the entire building- so
arranged as to facilitate the prompt fill
ing of orders , handling and shipping of
goods nnd taken all in all , it is safe to
say that a moro complete building de
voted to the wholesale drug trade does
not exist on this continent The large
and varied stock carried by this house
can only bo appreciated by a visit of
tlioso interested.

May Avert the Strike.
PiTTSntmo , Pa. , Fob. 7. [ Special Telegram -
gram to THE Bun. ] Many of the small opera
tors of the Connollsvlllo region are willing to
arbitrate the present wage dlfllcultlrs with.
their employes In the hope of averting a
threatened strike. They nro understood to
have plenty of orders for production for the
coming year , and nro desirous of keening
their works running. Today four of these
operators were mot by James McBride of
the minors' scale commlttoo and stated the
conditions on which they will keep tholr
mines in operation. They propose to pay the
existing rate of wages until March 1 , or such
time as another settlement can bo effected.
The mino-workor's scale committee will
assemble hero tomorrow and take the propo
sition Into consideration. It developed today
that nearly all tbo smaller dependent opera
tors favor an amicable settlomcnt rather than
a costly strike. The big operators have not
changed tholr attitude in the least , however ,
and a Btriko , the largest the coke region has
over experienced , will lllcoly bo Inaugurated
next Tuesday.

Mr. V. G. Boguo who loft Wodno sday for
Portland to make a close inspection of the
Puget Sound railroad to bo built conjointly
by the Union Pacific and tlio Great Northern
railroads , has had n varied experience in rail
road building. Shortly after his leaving the
school of engineers ho accepted a position on
the famous Oroya railroad which crosses the
Andes from the sea coast , in South America ,
and many of the most difficult portions of
that road wcro built under his supervision.
Ho remained in South America for ten years
nnd afterwards accepted the position of civil
engineer of the .Northern Pncilio system ,
where ho made a national reputation as n
railroad builder , some of the most difficult
work along that line beinga tribute to the
man who always found a way or made one.
Later ho became the chlof engineer of the
Union PaciHo having charge of both con
struction nnd operating departments , which
position ho hold until the departments were
divided During his association with the
Union Pacific ho has surmounted seemingly
insurmountable obstacles nnd has demon
strated his eminent fitness for.tho place which
ho has so ably filled. His mission to the Puget
got Sound country is a delicate ono nnd it is
to bo hoped will prove in every way as suc
cessful ns all bis other projects have been.
JOHN GIjEASON'S COOti HEAD.
It Enabled Him to Save n Frightened
AVoinan'H Ijifo.
John Glcason , the engineer of the Denver
expjess on the B. & M. , which reaches Oma
ha at 0:35 a. m , , nad an cxporienco yesterday
morning which was startling to say the least.
About a miio west of this city the B. & M. ,
runs over a long trcstlo and yesterday she
was a little behind time , and was bowling
along at a rapid rate. As the train rom. j"d n
sharp curve and thundered upon the trcstlo
the engineer was horror stricken to sein
train length ahead of him , a woman walking
along the trestle. There was no room for her
to cot off the track and she was so fright
ened she lost all control of herself. It looked
as if her doom was scaled but Engineer Glca
son reversed his engine , let out both streams ,
of sand and applied the air brakes. The train
cntnoto a standstill within two foot of tlio
woman. "Maybo you don't ' think I swallowed
a hig lump that was sticking in my throat
when I saw I had not killed the woman , " ho
remarked when speaking of the occurrence.
Charles vVyndham has made up his mind
to attempt "Tho School for Scandal" nt tlio

republican members of the city coun
cil wcro holding a consultation In the of-
llcoof die ot their number , two shots were
Hredthrough u window from the outside. % T ,
A. Arclmlta was seriously wounded while T.
H. Cntron nnd olhi'ra were narrowly tnl.sscd.
The would-lio assassins then rode away In the
darkncM , followed uyn posse. U Is said the
attempt nt assassination Is believed to IK >
from politlc.iV motives ana nltnod at Cntron ,
ono of the most prominent republicans In the
state. Jt is thought Archullii will recover.
Cntron was for many yours associated with
Stephen 11. Elxlns , when the latter was the
republican leader in Now Mexico. They
wcro tinrtnors In many big deals In connect
ion with tlio settlement and sutHCiiiicnl sale
of tbo most extensive land iriants in tbo terri
tory. Both made fortune" * in that business ,
Catvon Is uiinuosilonnbly ono of the ablest
members of the territorial Inr mill a brilliant
man. In politics ho 1ms us
ually resorted to the rule or
ruin policy nnd the present domination
of tlio democrats In New Mexico Is In a great
measure duo to C.itron's tactics. For many
years ho hcatlcd what was known ns the
Suntn Vo ring , which controlled tlio attnirs
of the territory. Ills rule was moat urbltrnrv ,
As a consequence ho lost control of the lopub-
Ucan organization In Ibi'J nml has never fully
recovered his grip. During nil thu yt'.irs hn
was master ho kept adding to tlio numbcrof
his unvmles , which arc now Humorous. In
local nllalrs ho has been dictatorial also.
Threats have frequently been mailo
against his life , but ho never both
ered himself about such things. Ills
pluck nnd fearlessness have been mlinlrvd
even by his enemies ana opponents. H ls
said that Catron saw service in tbo confed
erate nrmy before coming hero. In times past
Catron relied mainly on his Inlliioncoovcrthn
natives to carry through his political
schemes , Ho knows their language and
strong and weak points perfectly.
