The nponlng session of the tenth nunual
convention of the Nntlonal Association of
Stationary Engineers was hold yesterday
in Washington hall , and there were Ii3 ! dele
gates oresent , representing nearly all the
states nnd almost every city of any nata in
5 the union ,
IIoS J. J. Illlngworth , or Utica , N. Y. , the
vonnrublo president occupied the cholr.and all
' of the other grand ofllcers from Secretary Car-
loy to Doorkeeper Smith were present.
The Indies held a short soislon to
briolly map nnd discuss the plans for the
day's campaign , and then took possession of
tbo sent * set apart for visitors on the con
vention floor.
Without exception , the delegates who had
attended any of the previous conventions of
the association congratulated the local com
mittee on securing quarters so well suited to
the occasion. It was characterized as the
best hall In every way tint the convention
had over occupied. Removed from the noise
of the business streets , yet conveniently lo
cated , nnd not no largo that the cctioos dis
turbed the deliberations , It pleased the dele
gations Immensely.
Thu spacious , well lighted , well ventilated
hall presented a pleasing apponranco at the
oH | > ning hour. Pendant train the lower cdgo
of the gallery was a neatly arranged strip of
flag-printed bunting , and above were artisti
cally draped ropes of braided red , white ana
blue. Flags were floating from each chan
delier , and on the floor were placed 100
tables , around which weru seated the dele
gates.
The stage , however , wns the center of at
traction. In the central foreground was u
liandsotnoly llnlshodlnl"kul Dinted Klca auto
matic engine , the property of Omaha associa
tion No. 1. Directly behind it was placed
the desk of the president , and at the right
' - 7 the tables of the secretary nnd reading clerk
\ of the convention. Overhead were draped
two largo Ainoilcim flags , drawn back to
either sldo in graceful folds. Sheaves of
rye , oats and wheat , overtopped by lowar-ini
stalks of corn completed thu decoration. Ic
wns the work of Messrs , Austin , Uailey ,
Stark , Collins , and of the local committeo.
Formally Welcomed.
It wns 10 o'clock when the convention was
finally celled to order by Mr. .lamos Builoy ,
of Oinutia. Ho stated that Mayor Gushing
had been unexpectedly called out of tbo city ,
nnd the address of welcome prepared by him
would therefore bo delivered by Councilman
.lid. Morearty , who spoke in substauco as
follows.
As chief executive of the city of Omaha
also on behalf of the loeal association of sta
tionary engineers. I bid you welcome , and
tnko pleasure In tendering to you thu hoipl-
taltty of our city. Our oltl/ens fool specially
grateful that your association , being one of
the most Important and Intelligent orniuii/a-
tlomionthls continent , has honored Oiunha
with the holding of your tenth annual con
vention. An honor of which wo hone to iimnl-
fost our appreciation during your sojourn
here.
1 understand the principal alms of your
association to bo the elevation of your
profession and the better protection of llfo
nd property In use and management of
4tORin boilers nnd Meant engines. To secure
those most praiseworthy objects , you very
properly commence ut-tlie foundation nnd In
sist that steam engineers shall bu men
lanrnod in tholr profession ; not merely mo-
chanlcs who can go Into Ihe machine Hliop , III
uptbu encmo ready for.servlco and run It.bnt

amusement , null In oil ! workshops ami facto
ries whom millions of human lives are dully

tion.Next
Next to the physician , the engineer Is the
most Important factor to the people of all na
tions against lossof llfu and limb. The pliyn-
lolitu Is not permitted In any country to pre
scribe for the sick or dying without Hist hav
ing spent yours In the study of medicine , and
then stand the test of u medical examination
nnd received from learned profcssois a cer
tificate Announcing to thu world that the
holder thereof Is a lit and competent niiin
to go to the bodaldu and relieve
human Buffering and save human life.
And bo It Is with the pharmacist. Thu life of
the citizen Is too precious and nocessiiry to
the stxto to permit the apothecary to put up a
prescription without first having u.issed an
examination as to his competency. Surely
the engineer an whose Intelligence , ability
and Robriotr depend hundreds of human lives
dally Hhould bu ns well skilled In his profes
sion ns the physician and druggist are in
theirs , nnd should stand thu sumo relative
test us to fitness. In thu Interest of n broad
humanity nnd the honor of your profession
your association nskh no more , and Hhonld
zealously labor to that end , until every state
In thu union pass appropriate laws , on thu
eubjectof such vital Importance , growing In
magnitude nnd fraught with momentous
consequences-ns our manufacturing , mining
and commercial Interests Increase.
Thu literary nnd scientific character of
jour association cannot fall to prove areat (
educator to your members. Vour library ,
lectures and solontlllo papers composed and
read by your members , and the discussion
thureon , develop thu mind and unable you to
obtain a soiontllle Knowledge of steam and
engineering ability , of which you pioposu to
give our citizens a practical Illustration ut
your meeting on Wednesday.
May the deliberations of your convention
bo clmractorlxtlc of your past efforts. In
diffusing n practical and scientific knowledge
of thu power and beiiollolal uses of
team and thu steam engine , when under
proper nitinaguiuent , and tholr destructive
tendency to lifn and property when controlled
by reckless , Ignorant mid Incompetent uer-
aons ,
aonsVu trust your visit miiy bo a pleasiint ono ,
nnd prolonged to the uxlpitt your business
engagements will penult. NO that yon may
liuvo nn opportunity of dilvlng through our
city , talking with our merchants and manu
facturers , and examining thu substantial
character of their business blocks , the lesnll
of homo Industry and built with homooapltal.
Wo nlBo hope you will not luavu u without
testing the high pressure of our people for
genuine hospitality. Again I bid yon welcome
and trust you will mnku yourselves at home
while you honor ut with your presence ,
The reading of the mayor's address was
frequently interrupted by hearty applause.
President Feliroiilmtcli UcBiomlN ] ,
The response to the welcoming address
was delivered by Hon. .lohn l-'ehrenbatch of
Cincinnati , past president of the association ,
who spolco ns follows :
Mr.Chairman : Thu National Association

that when the work of this coin en t.on Is

their homes each will carry with
him thu kindliest and happiest remem-
brunces of Oimtha and her cunurous hearted
citizens. If the treatment we hnva thtm far

churmsut that humility , proud und beautiful
Kgyptlaii queen , Cleopatra , would surrender

Omaha and fall to return to tholr constitu

There U nn room for doubt as to the ability
of thu people of this city to du that very

Permit mo then. Mr. Chairman , by way of
preface , to say In urderto quiet any fears that
may exist among the people of Omaha on no-
count of our lmvln captured this city , thnt
wo nro In nowise < lnugoroiist on the contrary ,
thntwn are peaceable and law abldnu citi
zens. Tlio men you see before you are the
representatives of a grand army of skillful.
Intelligent and practical engineers , scattered
nil over the United States , who have formed
this grand association for the pur 11010 of pre
venting the const int and utterly Inexcusable
destruction of llf o and property through steam
holler explosions. lApphuihe. ] Amoiu the
means wo have selected for thu accomplish
ment of this object are education and tno II
reusing of engineers. To carry out Iho educa
tional feature of our order , wo hare trans
formed the meeting rooms of onr .subordinate
associations Into school rooms nnd made the
association n grout national univer
sity for the education of engi
neers In the art , nolonce and prac
tice of steam engineer.ng , no ns to enable
thorn to follow their profession with the ut
most security to llfo and property and to man
age steam plants with the greatest possible
economy.
As to engineers' licenses , wo are making ef
forts In every stuto In the union to secure the
enactment of stringent and olllelent laws pro
hibiting nil persons from taxing clrirgo of
steam plants unless they have been licensed
by n competent , board of uxamlnorscroated by
law , In order to guard airalnsl the employ
ment of Incompetent , careless and Intemper
ate engineers In the m iiiavetnent of steam
machinery. And to the accomplishment of
this end , Mr , 1'halrnian. wo ask your distin
guished follow eltl/en who represents his honor
the mayor , . .s well as the people of the atate
of Nebraska , to give us tholr hearty cooperation -
tion , assuring them that co-operation will tro
far towards preventing the destruction of
human ll.'o hereafter In this state , besides
serving ns an example worthy of emulation
by other states.
As to our membership. It Is composed of thu
very best loading , practical and selontlllo en
gineers In tlio United States , llosldes. It em
braces a very lar a constituency of honorary
as well ns ncllvo members , composed of pro
fessors of cjolluios and universities , promi
nent and loading manufacturers , publishers
and editors of engineering , mechanical nnd
other .scientific papers , and many other dis
tinguished and Influential clti/ens , most of
whom have been elected or admitted to
honorary membership for valuable and
meritorious scrvlros rendered the asso
ciation. So far this grand army of In
telligent men , banded together for the
accomplishment of such n noble purpose as
that fur which this association was formed , It
seams to me , Mr. Chairman , there ought to be
no such thing nsf ill.
And now permit mo ngaln , on behalf of the
great National Association of Stationary hn-
gluuers , to return my sincere and heartfelt
thanks for the warm , cordial and generous
greeting the chief executive of this city has
extended to Its representatives. 1 know I but
echo tno sentiments of every member of our
association from the broad Atlantic ocean In
the e ist to the boundless I'acllio In thu west ,
and from our great Inland scan on the north
to the everglades of Florida on the
south , when 1 express tlio earnest hope
that thodark clouds of adversity may never
bedim the lusiro of this grand , magnificent
ind beautiful city--applause--but [ ] that the
golden r.iy of prosperity may over beam with
brilliancy and splendor on Omaha , her people ,
and especially on her uoblu and geiiorous-
liearted chief o.xeoutlvo--applausol--atid [ that

At the conclusion of Mr. Fohrenbatch's re
ply , the president appointed ttio following
committee on credentials : H. J. Smith , Cali
fornia ; Jas. Duncan , Massachusetts ; W. W.
Nugent , Wisconsin : Fred A. Dillie , Georgia ;
David AlcGnrry , Pennsylvania. The com
mittee received the credentials of the delegates -
gates , nnd when they retired , President
lllmgworth read his annual address.
Mr. Joe Bailey announced the election of
Mayor Gushing as an honorary member of
Omaha No. 1 , and presented the hand-painted
certilicate , hnrotofore referred to , to tno
mayor's representative , Mr. Morenrty , who
accepted it for the executive wittt ap-
pronrmto remarks.
The reading of the minutes of the last
meeting wns dispensed with , and the con
vention then adjourned until 2 o'clock to ac
cept the invitation of President Barton to
Inspect the plant of ttio smelting works com
pany.
The visitors saw much at the smelter to
interest them. ' 1 hey arrived too Into to see
the silver drawn off , but witnessed the entire -
tire operation at ttio blast furnaces and
roasters. They examined the enllro plant ,
from the blue shop to thu cupolas , and spent
an hour and u half inside the largest smelt
ing nnd rollmng plant in thu world.
Much interest was manifested in the ma
chinery exhibit on the lower door. It. is by
no moans complete as yet. but many of the
smaller articles are in place , and the em
ployes of the Thomson-Houston company are
finishing the wiring and connecting the
olectiio motors thut are to run the machin

The afternoon session was a stem-winder
In its way , chiefly because a protest was
entered against the seating of Mr. Pratt of
Cincinnati. Tbo report of tto committee ou
credentials engendered u lively tight. The
struggle with parliamentary rules wns some
thing surprising to behold , nnd the president
was tickled half to death when ho found
himself ullvo after the adjournment of the
session. Ho was couched during the iiicloe
by Hon. John Fohretihatch , who has been n
motnbor of the legislatures of three states.
Air. Pratt , too , came out with hair on his
head , for although ho wus u long wlniu being
boru into thu convention , ho finally emerged
there on both feet , clothed in ull the rights
of n delegate.
At the opening of the session the com-
mltteo on credentials reported , Its finding
being that up to date ubiety-four delegates
and two altorflatai were elititlcd to seats In
the convention. The only ( mention that arosa
before the committee was with reference to
Jtidson Pratt , who appeared as tlio accredited
dcloguto of association No. 15 of Cincinnati ,
when in fact ho wan a member of No. 5 of
Cleveland. The delegate was summoned to
appear before the committeo.
llio treasuiorsubmitted his annual report.
A lengthy debate followed the report of thu
committee , to whom was referred a venr ago
the question of changlntr thu nature of the
association from national to international , seas
as to Include Canada. The committee re
ported in favor of It , but after an hour's ilo-
bate tbo matter was lulu on ttio tabio. The
secretary reported that the cliitngo would
Incur an expense of K,1T5 ) for the 'JOO or moro
subordinate associations in the way of records -
cords and seals , and that was the clincher
that settled the question.
The Introduction of resolutions wus next
declared In order , and among them were tbo
following :
Baltimore No , 1 favored granting the sus
pended members of that association A charter
to organize association No. it : referred to the
committee oa nnpouU nnd grievances.
Golden Gnto No. it of California wanted the
country divided into districts ; favored an
International association nnd wanted no
money paid direct to any orgunl/or ; referred
to the committee ou constitution ,
Missouri No.I favored taxing members $1
par year for the benefit of tbo national asso
ciation ; referred to the committee on consti
tution.
The resolution thnt Is presented without
fall every year to strlku out from the con
stitution the clause providing that the nsso-
elation shall pot oo used for religious or po
litical purposes was bunded up ; referred to
the cotnmltteo ou constitution.
A mooting of the Life ) and Accident associ
ation was announced for 7 o'uloox in the
evening , and every delegate requested to bo
present.
The committee on credentials reported
against allowing Delegate Pratt of Ohio No.
15 a aeal In the convention , as bo had ad
mitted that ho had never taken a withdrawal
curd from No. 5. Mr. Pratt then addressed
the convention , stating that bo bad not nlllll-
atod with No. & for six years , and had boon
elected to No. 15 ai au active lift ) member ,
and catno to too convention as suck , ilo do-
olnrod lho committee attempted to unseat htm
on n technicality when sent hero in good
faith uy hla association. Ho In lima ted thnt
a corporation schema to got possosklon of the
national association was behind the itiovo
to unseat him.
Clialrmnn Smith of ttio credential com-
mlttoo raised the point of order that the con
vention WAI not ou corpornttvo buslncm ,
The point wan not sustained and Mr. Pratt
wns allowed to have his say.
Mr. Topmlltor of the committee declared
thnt Mr. Pratt hat * Informed the comnilttoe
t lint ho was merely n proxy , and the proxy
question wns knocked out ycaw ngo.
There were a dozen bursts of eloquence ,
nnd Dually the previous question ns to
whathur or not the main quoition should bo
put was moved nnd carried on a cull of yeas
nnd tnys by a vote of 71 to 1)7 ) , several mem
bers refusing to voto. inasmuch ns the com *
mlttca report tnado no recommendation It
was voted to recommit. Amendments ,
substitutes and motions to recon
sider followed in rapid succession.
The committee finally reported the case
back without recommendation , and n motion
to seat Mr. Prait followed. A call of nycs
and nays resulted In seating Mr. Pratt by a
votaofO.to 4 ! ) . The seated delegate ex
pressed hU tbnnks to the convention.
Mr. Halley submitted n resolution thut
tioncoforth delegates bo allowed to hold a
membership In but ono association. It wns
referred to the committee on constitution ,
nnd the convention adjourned until 10 o'clock

General Russell A. Algor passed through
Omaha yesterday afternoon on his way to the
Grand Army of the Republic encampment at
Grand Island. Ho wns met at the depot by
Senator Maudorson , Major Pudaock , General
Dennis and Colonel John Peters , who accom

"Tho republican party in our state nnd

but I am told thnt Mnjor McKinley has the
bnttlo pretty much his own way nnd I have
no doubt that ho will win by u haudsoma ma
jority. I shall go down tnero nnd nssUt a
little before the close of the campaign. "
"Is the independent or allinnie party mak
ing tiny stir in Michigani"
"Very little. The independent party cuts
no tiguro there at nil. The republican party
is now in excellent shape there and I think
wo shall more than regain what wo lost last
time by nu unfortunate combination of cir
cumstances. "
"Do you think tlio silver question is going
to come to thu front ns u leading Usuo all
over the country I"
"I am of the opinion thnt it will not. There
is so much difference of opinion upon that
subject in both parties that I s hould not be
supribud to sue it held in thu background ,
for a time nt least. '
"Who will bo tlio next republican nominee
for the presidency ) "
"Now you are asking mo a ditllcult ques
tion. I urn only un integral part of a great
nation of people and how should 1 bu aulo to
foretell the action of n great national conven
tion. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Blalno both have

All the members of the Hoard of Public.
Lands and Buildings express their satisfac
tion with the resignation of Test nud Livcr-
Inghouso. They declare that their intention
was not to persecute these fellows , but to
protect the state. A ftor the rottenness re
vealed by ttio investigation they declare that
there was only one thinir for them to do , and
that was to ask for the removal of these fol
lows. They still believe thnt Governor
Thayer should have taken immediate action
in tlio mutter , but hope that no serious harm
has been done to the republican party in the
slate.

caped from jail in a remarkable manner , lie
impersonated another prisoner whoso term
ofsentonco had expired and thoreuv secured
his liberty. Ho changed clothes with .lohn
Shay , whoso sentence expired August 14 ,
and when Turnkey Mike Moonov called for
SUay Summers walked out clad in that
felloe's garments. Tno trick was not noticed
and the burglar walked out a free man into
the glad sunshine.
About half an hour later when the turnkey
had occasion to go into the apartment occu
pied by the prisoners ho was astounded to
see Shay still ttcro , but bis face turned palo
with chagrin as ho discovered that the fellow
was attired in Summers' clothes , Soav
laughed heartily at Moonoy's disenmtlturo
and declared it a great joke. Jiut ho changed
his tuna when bo found himself arraigned
today on the serious charge of unlawfully
.tiding the cscapb of an accused criminal ,
