ants and L. M. Turner plaintiff. Tbo session
of court was held In the library room in the

Introduction of the evidence. All tbo testi
mony was taken excepting that of Messrs.
Rink and Scholtz. They , through their at
torney , W. A. Mynster , filed n motion for a
continuance on the ground that they were

davits by Drs. Bellinger and Seybert ,

were both too ill to bo in

A continuance was granted to them until the

meuts of the attorneys will bo made on tbo

' " 'buries Conley , the rireman who beat bis
wife a few tights ago on VJno street and
raised all that part of the city by so doing ,
was removed from his position last evening
by the fire committee of the city council. In
speaking of tbo matter yesterday one of tbe
members of the committee stated that no
formal investigation had been made , but the
committee had looked up tbe affair and found
that Conley had beaten1 bis wife. They did
not care whether bo had provocation or not ;
tbe fact that he had done the deed was all
they cared to know , and they had come to the
conclusion that ho was not the sort of man
they wanted on the flro department. Robert
H. 'HuntingUm , who formerly held the posi
tion of city dent , was appointed to fill the
vacancy and be went on duty last evening at
7 o'clock.
Chief Levin stood by Conley from tbe first.
He stated tnat he had looked up the affair
between Conley and his wife and bad found ,
as near as bo could Judge , that the wife was
not all she should be. He did not consider
Conley very mucn to blame for bis actions
and bevould not have done anything about
it had it not been for the order which he ro-
celvcd from the committee under whoso con
trol ho is. Ho says that Couley has always
boon considered one of tbe most faithful and
hard-working in on in the department.

The Omnhn Ministerial Union Dl -
cu es General IlootlrV Great AVork ,
ThoOmttbn Ministerial union met yesterday
forenoon In tbo Kountic1 Memorial Lutheran
church. It was the time lor the election ot
officers for the ensuing term.
Rev. J. M , French of 1u6 Unlicd Presbyterian -
terian church was elected president. Rev. T.
J. Turkic of the Kountzo/Momorial Lutheran
church , Bccrctnrv.
Tbe paper for the occaslbri wns bv Rev. A.
1C. Beans upon General Booth's book , "Dark
est England. " The gentleman firmly and
earnestly endorsed Central Booth's ideas ,
and his great philanthropic scheme for the
elevation of poor and neglected people.
The paper was given the closest attention by
the ministers present , and seveial entered
into the discussion which followed.
Dr. Thaln thought that the work of rcscu-
In ? the poor and distressed should not bo left
alouo to the Salvation army , but tbo plan
should bo adopted , in part at least , by ull
Christian denominations and philanthropic
people.
Rev. T. C. Clendennlne was bnartily in
sympathy with General Booth's ideas. He
said that it seemed very plain that God
had raised this man Booth up
for o great and grand purpose. He had
started with nothing , with no one to extend
their sympathy outside of the church and
but very few to encourage him within the
church.
By his efforts and those wbo have followed
his methods tens of thousands have been
rescued from the very lowest ranks of
human society. This movement has done
wonders among tno lower classes of London
and other great cities , and now the entire
civilized world has been attracted by Booth's
plan to help the poor and the down-trodden.
Henry M , Stanley has given what amounts
to nearly half a million ol dollars to further
the scheme proposed by General Booth , and
other philanthropists are coming forward
to assist in tbe great enterprise of re
lief and salvation for the unfortunate
and the poor. The speaker believed
that while this work should not
be left to the Salvation army , yet ho believes
that tbe scheme belonged originally to that
body of Christian workers and they were
better prepared to do effective work along
that line than the churches could do unless
the churches imitated the Salvation army.
He believed that ull Christian and philan
thropic people should lend earnest and prac
tical support to tbo Salvation army and in
that way help the grand work along.
Several others spoke in a like strain con
cerning tbe work originated by General
Booth.

MR. PAXTON INTERVIEWED.
Salt Lake Papers Make Him the
Father of Great Schemes.
Hon. William A. Poxton has returned from
a business trip to Utah points and is now
having a good deal of amusement reading
alleged interviews with himself that have
api > eared lu Utah papers ,
"An Ogdeu paper had Mr. Paxton slated
for the active management of the hotel nt
Hot Springs and the Salt Lake Herald bad
bim in the Saintly city for the purpose
of leasing the Hotel Ontario. To this
the Salt Lake Tribune replied that : "Mr.
Paxton knows no more about a hotel than a
cat does about Christmas time , und the fuct
that n hotel in Omaha was named after him
was that he put up some stock and tbo other
members of the company honored him by so
cjlline tbe house. Ho has never had any-
thine to do with tbo place and never will ;
nor is it likely that he ever will engage in
that line , as be is a cattleman and nothing
else. "
Then tbo Tribune bad Mr. Pftxton build a
railroad to Hot Springj. Hero is the inter
view :
"What are you eoing to do about the Hot
Springs railroad ( "
"Wo are going to do something pretty
quick. It Is the intention to put it in bettor
shape and get tbe trains running regularly
again , but just what will be done I could not
say until I confer withMr. , McCormlck ; then
we will know all about It. J have been in
tending to get out this way before this , " con
tinued Mr. Paxton , "but I have boon so
busy at Lincoln in attendance at tbe legisla
ture that I nouldn' : ( jot away , "
"You are a member of the legislature from
Douclas county , are you noil"
"No ; but unfortunately I was one of tbo
many lobbyists. "
, Mr. Paxton has extensive stock Interests
in Nebraska , and returned a few days ago
from a trip to souia of his largo ranches.
He reports his stock dolnc nicely i.nd thinks
the prospects for increased prices this spring
good.
good.He stated that tbo weather bad been stormy
and disagreeable from the time ho left Omaha
