Friday night's lynching came near making
more trouble yesterday and last night. It
wns only the prompt and effective action of
the municipal authorities that prevented
what might Imvo become a serious outbreak
nnd the foresight of Sheriff Uoyd which in-
duccu htm to remove to Llucoln n couple of
prisoners whoso presence hero under the
present state of affairs was more or loss of a
standing invitation for further trouble was
perhaps the only thing that prevented a repe
tition of the tornblo procccduro of the night
before.
Ail day yesterday there was talk on the
streets and In the business marts of another
raid on the county Jail , the purpose of which
was to capture Jake Price , who is now
awaiting trial for the murder of Mrs. Fannie
Tatc , and serve him In the snmo fanhion as
they had served Smith. It was also rumored
that i ixoii , the private soldier who Is ac
cused of murdering Corporal Carter at Fort
Niobrarn onu was confined hero awaiting
trial , might nho suffer severe treatment In
thoexcltomnntof the moment.
Taken to Ijincnlii.
It was those rumors that induced the offi
cials to rotnovo these two prisoners to Lin
coln , to guard as far as possible against a re
petition of ttio scones of Friday night. The
knowledge of the change was made public In
the evening paporsbutan unforeseen and un
fortunate occurrence served to furnish a pre
text for keeping up the troublo.
A complaint which was filed by County At
torney Mahoney , charging fifteen men with
murder In the first degree , was the nature of it.
It was virtually n prosecution of ringleaders
of the lynchors for murder , in order tnat the
dignity of the law might bo maintained.
As news of the move spread it was evident
that it was very unpopular , and it was ilo-
rlarcd on all sides that It would be Impossible
to secure n conviction of any of the parties.
Pnrtlci | > ! iiitB Arrested.
The blotter nt the control police station
bears the following names : Ed. Nou-
BchnelTor , Patrick O'Hoino , John FrlU , H.
G. Illoom , H. II. Urandlos , Ed. Fitzgerald
nnd Captain O'Donohuo. After each name
is placed the charge of murder In the first
degree.
At 5 p. in. the seven prisoners wcro ar
raigned in police court and the complaint
filed by County Attorney Mahoney read by
As l ) > tant Prosecutor Mormrlty. The docu
ment charged the nrisouora with unlawfully ,
purposely mid deliberately making an as
sault , with premeditated malice , to kill nnd
murder Goortro Smith. The complaint fur
ther charges that the prisoners did fix a rope
nbout the neck and choke , strangle and kill
Ucorgo Smith.
Itcfusod Hall.
At the conclusion of the rending of the
complaint the prosecutor stated that ho could
not say when Mr. Mahoney would bo ready
to try the cases , but probably some time
Monday. An effort wns at once made by At
torney Kil Crowoll on behalf of his clients ,
Ulooni , O'Donohuo and iMeusohnffor , to got
the prisoners released on bail. County At
torney Mahoney was soon , but positively refilled -
filled to allow ball to any amount to bo
taken. Mr. S. P. Morse offered $100,000 ball
for his manager , H. G. liloom , but It was pos
itively declined. O'Uonohuo also olTurod a
largo bond , but Muuonoy could not be
touched.
At r > : UO the seven prlronrrs were loaded
Into the patrol wagon nnd taken to the
county Jail.
Admitted to Dull.
Walter Orandes and Kd Cohen were nr-
rested about C o'clock and cnnrgod with
murder the same as the others.
Judge Ilolsloy decided to admit all of the
ntnu prisoners to ballproviding good sure
ties were given. At tl'tO : the nine wcro
brought up Into court and the Judge began
turning thorn loose as fast as the bonds were
tlgned. All were released except Ed
NeiibchaofTor , the young German , who is a
ttrungor in town , and Kd Fitzgerald , bettor
known as "Jlnts the Nowsboy. " Tlioso two
didn't seem to hnvo any friends , and to they
wore loft to amu.so themselves with the tame
rats about their colls.
A $ r ,000 bond was given for nil these re
leased except Captain John Donovan , who
was compelled to put up J10.000.
Oiitliorlnt : of tlio Crowd.
Quito n crowd gathered outside the police
court rooms about T o'clocK and there was
considerable talk of going down and taking
out the nine men. A statement to the throng
that the men hud been released had the effect
of sending many away , and inside an hour
there was not a person lounging uonr the
Jail , linldo of the court room on the benches
usually usad by spectators sat the untlro day
police force , armed and ready for duty at a
moment's notice.
Mayor CuUinig and Commissioner Hartman -
man wore at tha clilef'.s onlco having a talk ,
nnd wore soon Joined by Messrs. Gilbert and
b'mlth. It was decided to semi all the avail-
kl/lo / men to the court house.
In I'Yon l of MOTHD'H Ktoro.
About 9:30 : a largo crowd gathered la front
dry goods store to learn some
thing about the report that one of Mr.
Morse's employes had been nrrcstcd for par
ticipating In the lynching nnd that the ofTcr
of a ball bond had been refused. Mr. S. P.
Morse cuine out and made a llttlo speech , in
Which ho told the crowd that his omplnyo
had been released. IIo advised the men to
disperse nnd go homo. The speech had a
good effect upon the crowd and quieted a
good many who find been complaining bit
terly.
IMnl > nt flic County .Tall.
Thus It happened that n crowd of nearly
4,000 people nssomblod In the evening on the
court house grounds and on the surrounding
streets. Fully D'J per cent of them were
drawn thcro by curiosity simply to BOO what
some one else might do , nml the few remain
ing ones could only give as tholr excuse the
desire to release tlio supposed prisoners ,
NouschnelTor nnd Kd. Fitzgerald , and they
had no definite Idea of what they ought or
Intended to do.
The crowd was good natured , and fairly
well behaved , the only demonstration being
In the way of cheer * nnd yells , which were
kept up uninterruptedly until Chief bcavoy
inndo up his mind to dear the streets and
disperse the crowd.
At8l. : > there were loud calls In the vicinity
of the Jail for Jailor Homgiin , to which ho
promptly responded. The main door was
unlocked , and after stepping out Into the
crowd he said "Gentlemen , 1 want to
know what you desire mo to say ! "
" \Vo want these men1 yelled the mob. "
' What men ? " quickly asked the Jailor.
"Tho men who were arrested this after
noon the mom who are charged with the
murder of the nlcgcr. "
"They are not hero , and I assure you ,
gentlemen , that they have not been sent
hero from the city Jail. Moreover , I un
derstand that they Imvo nil been released
on bonds and are free at this moment. "
"I'm AVorlil-IIer.iliI Kcportcr. "
For a short space of tlmo quiet prevailed ,
when the mob once moro gave vent to an un
earthly yell , which wns followed by cries of
"Burn the Jail ! " "Give us another nigger , "
nnd "D n his statements , they nro lies. "
A man In nn ubscuro corner started In by
saying , "I'm u World-Herald reporter
and "
Ho never got any further with his speech ,
for cries of "Hats ! " "Go loynuoggl" "ls
it published in Omaha } " "Come off the
porch ! " "How much is It n week ! " "Put
him out ! " and ' 'Will you g ot out on extra } "
drowned the sound of his voice and carried
It far out on the cool brcczo of the October
night.
"Lot us hear from the jailer , " demanded
P. O. Donnelly.
Horrlfjan's Formal Statement.
A hush fell over the mob and Horrlgan
said :
"I am the jailor of the Douglas county jail
nnd havojill ot the keys in my pocket. If
you want to go through this Jail In search of
an } ' particular person yon can do so , but I
want to toll you that you cannot all como In
side. Yon must appoint a committee and I
wish you would do so. Appoint five or ten
sober , cool headed men and I will show tnom
through every ono of the cells.
"I know that many of you men are drunk ,
and right hero I want to tell you that no
drunken man can como Inside this jail to
night. "
"That Is fair , " answered a number of
pnrltos.
Mr. Donnelly urged that they appoint ono
man from each ward. Ho said that ho un
derstood that it was not the do-iiro of any
person to hang another man , that the object
was simply to satisfy the mob that Pat
O'Herron was not in the Jaii. As far ns ho
was concerned ho w.is perfectly satisfied
that such u as not the case , ns ho had scon
him nt Taft'.s saloon not ono hour before.
Demanding .lalci ; Prluc't ) Hlooil.
Srme one in the mob yelled , "Hang the
nigger ! "
"Yes , " responded Mr. Donnelly , "You
hanged a colored man last night , but are you
sure tie \vu-i guilty ) Now you would hang
Jake Price and every ono of you know that
there nro grave doubts nbou' , him being the
man who murdered Fannie Tr.to.
"Gentlemen , I will assure you that Price
Is not In the Jail. Ho was taken to Lincoln
this afternoon and is now safely confined
within the state penitentiary. "
Another loud yell wontup from the throats
of the assembled throng , but It was of snort
duration.
As soon ES quiet had settled down over the
mob , Mr. Donnelly again spoke and de
manded the appointment of the coiuniittco.
Committed on Inspection.
The following gentlemen wcro named :
15. P. Donnelly , F. P. Hull , L. H. Storht nnd
Kd Pickering.
Tom Harrington yelled that the people
would notabldo by the report of the commit
tee.
tee.Mr
Mr Donnelly responded , "If this commit-
to- } enters the jnll yon will abldo by Its ro-
port. Wo nro laxpayrrs of Douglas county
and propose to protect our property from the
hands of n mob. Lust night you tried to batter -
tor .down this Jail , and In doing so you
vlo atod the 'laws of the suite * . You de
stroyed property that belongs to every tax
payer In Omaha and Douglas county. Your
acts should subject every ono of you to arrest
and punishment. You know that you had
no more right to to.ir n brick from the walls
of this building than you would Imvo to go to
my house and pull It down.
"I now want to ask you If you wish this
committee to go on with it * work and make n
report ! "
"Ye , that's what wo want of you , " went
up from ; ir , > 00 throats.
ScarcliiiiK theCelln. .
\Vlth this assurance the committed wont
Inside. The members visited the cell rooms
on the IIrat floor , peering Into every grated
cage , and then Jailer Ilorrlgan led the way
to the upper tier of cells. Tnoy wore care
fully examined. liars were thrown back and
doors opened , but not a coioreil man was
found , nor was the man O'llorron visible.
The cellar was next visltod , but there was
no one thuro with tha exception of tno en
gineers and ttu > stoker. The men being sat-
Isllod that Jailer Horrlgan's statements made
to the mob wcro true and that ho had fulfilled
every pledge that ho had made while bo
stood upon the jnll stops , they repaired to tbo
olllco for the selection of a chairman.
"Who shalt wo select to make the report I"
4slicit Mr Hall , A ullonco followed , when a
World-Herald reporter , who had slid in with
the committee , said : "If you want mo to , I
will act as chairman and tell what I saw. I
was ono of the lint men to enter the jail
after the window was burst In last night nnd
as the prawd knows that my statements can
bo relied upon. "
Mr. Donnelly's He-port.
Another , aliened that Was really painful
111oil ! the corridor * and winding passage way *
of the jail , but like tlio former silence , It was
ot ahort duration. Mr. Pickering moved
that Mr. Donnelly act as chairman ,
The motion mtivalled , the committee lot t
tbo Jail and proceeded to the southeast corner
of the grounds , wboro tno. crowd had assem
after being driven off the grounds by the
police.
Thcro , standing upon the retaining wall ,
with uncovered lio.iJ , Mr. Donnelly undo his
report. Ho stated that the committee had
performed its work faithfully nnd well ; that
none of the men charged with the hanging of
Coo were In the Jail and that after going
through every cell , the committee had been
unable to find cither Dlxon , the soldier , or
PIcrco , the colored man , both having been re
moved during the afternoon ,
Then there wns u mighty uproar , out of
which could DO hoird cries of "Dully for
Donnelly ; "Good for the confmlttee. "
Polluo Were in It. .
A few minutes after 0 ChlotSoavey In
structed Captain Connack to take twenty
men and two sergeants and proceed to Hoyd's
theater nnd clear the streets In that vicinity.
Twenty men were called out by tnn cantaln ,
nnd with Sergeants Ormsby and Slgwart in
the load Captain Cormack marhod the
squad up to the corner of Harnoy nnd Seven
teenth on a double quick ,

Sliiniuj ; tlio Crowd.
The ofllccrs first cleared Hartley street In
front of Doyd's ' theatre and south of tno
court houio , but when they withdrew to
Seventeenth stroa the crowd soon llllod
Harnoy street njmin nnd It looked for a few
moments as though the ofllccrs would bo
hoodooed. The police formed In line across
Harnoy street and waited patiently for rein
forcements from the station. In n few mo
ments Chief Sonvoy , Sergeant \ \ union and
about thirty odlccr.s arrived In patrol wavruns.
The wngons were driven through the crowd
and Chief Soavoy leaned out over the heads
of the people and prcachod to them. He told
them they should go quietly homo like law
abiding citizens , but his exhortations wcro
answered by Jeers nnd yells ol derision.
OrniHliy's Flume itlnvrniiHit.
Finally when everything wns ready Ser-
gcsnt Ormsby made a brilliant flank move
ment on Seventeenth street nnd swept the
crowd clear out of the way. This wns the
first substantial proof that the ofilcors were
going to rodtrol the crowd. Sergeant Sig-
wart , v/lth n squad of men , made a double
quick march upon the crowd on Harnoy
street and that thoroughfare was soon cleared.
But two men were arrested and sent to the
station In the patrol wagon. At 10 o'clock
the ofllcers had complete control of the
streets in the vicinity of the court Tiouso nnd
crowd began to disperse.
Police at h .Tall.
At 10:10 a line of police under Sergeant
Sigwart forced their way up to thosteps of
the jail. The sergeant lilted his baton and
told the crowd to disperse , and then ordered
his men to clear the ground ; .
The police formed n line and drove the
crowd southward and out the stone paved
dnvowav. No resistance was offered by anyone
ono Mid there was no encoring. Police Com
missioner Ilartman gnvo the order to Captain
Cormack to clear the court house
grounds and u detail of men was nt once
placed nt thu service of Slgwnrt. The crowd
moved slowly , huddling together llko a flock
of sheep. In fifteen mlnutos thcro was not a
man on the court house crounds. " As soon"as"
the mob reached the streets a dctacbinont of
police under Chief Seavoy and his captain
keep thorn moving. It took sotna tlnij to
clear the utroot , corner at Doyd's opera
house , but It was finally done.
Commissioner Hurtman wns well pleased
with the work of the men of the line , as a
great many throats had boon miiJa that the
pollco would "not dare to go upon county
ground nnd drive tbo people away. Hut they
did it , ( iiiiotly and nicely , and deserve con
siderable credit.
HrunkliiK Up the Crowd
The crowd split up surging down Harnoy ,
Seventeenth and F.irnam. A good many col
lected at the corner of Highteonth and Far-
mini nnd were started east on Fnrnnm down
the hill. At Seventeenth and Farnam
they llockod about Tin : Bui : and
Now York Life buildings , completely
blocking the street. A conplo of patrol
wagons came rglllng alone ; or.o carried the
chiofanil Mr. Ilartm.m. Chief So.ivcy ad
dressed the crowd. IIo told them to move
on , to go homo , to got away from the corner.
Mr. Ilartman did the same , but the mob
only cheered , whistled and hissed. The uollco
did tholr best , and whenever n Hundred or so
gathered on the cornon they were compelled
to move on.
When the crowd wns the thickest In front
of Tin : BII : : building , Oilieeri Monroe nnd
Dubots grabbed a coublo of friends and
*
rushed thorn down the street.
Ot course the crowd nil followed , yelling
all the time. "Let's tnko them away , "
called u dozen or so. "All right ! " yelled the
mob , but just then three or four police rein
forced Monroe and Dubois and Uioy lugged
their men clear to Fifteenth nnd Douglas ,
followed by the entire outfit. 'I here the
supposed prisoners were released , and the
squad of oDIccrs had the laugh on the mob.
Itiiuk Up tlio Hill.
The ruse didn't have the desired effect , for
as soon as the crowd saw that they were sold
they rushed back up the hill to Sixteenth and
Farnnm.
Senvoy , with his two patrol wagons nnd
nbout eighty police , wcro kept busy for the
next hour clearing ono corner after another.
As fast as the crowd was driven from one
point they would hurry to another and sot up
n yoll.
Then the chief stood up on n seat of ono of
the wngons and ordered his men to arrest
each and every person found yelling or howlIng -
Ing on the stroots. Two or three strong
lunged youngsters were thrown Into the
wagons and taken to the city Jail , wherothoy
were charged with disturbing the penco.
This sort of play went on until about 11:30 : ,
when the streets were cleared.
At midnight Farnam , Harnoy , Sixteenth
and Seventeenth streets were deserted with
the exception of a half dozen curious , who
stood under the trolley wire at Seventeenth
and Harnoy and looked at the spot wboro
the negro was hung.
It was a hard night's work for the police ,
but Chief heayoy said bo was tired of this
foolishness and proposed to clear the street
or lock up nil these creating a dUturbancu
of any sort.

the directors have Carefully surveyed
the whole Hold and as money Is abundant out

With that would como cessation of British

Parnell'8 doatn Is hold to increase Glad-

terest of bondholder } . The confidence in
these securities Is already n good deal shaken
by the more prospect of Gladstone's success.
The decline this wootf Is riot very markori ,
but it is ( pilto sufficient to'snow that the poo-
pie are generally taking alarm and desire to
clear out before the throated storm actually
bursts. Chilian and Brazilian loans nro also
inclined to steadily fall. There Is no hope
of permanent improvement in thosa coun

Sontli American Securities.

The effects of the McIIlnloy tariff act con
tinue to bo severely felt here , especially
the croat staple manufactures , such as

Tbo purchase of American raw cotton must
fall off very considerably if the United States

Parnull'H
During the tornllo | conflict , for such it
was , In room 15 , I bad u brief conversation
with Mr. Parnoll one evening In the smoking
room of the housa wuoro ho wus sitting mono
in tbo corner. IIo generally found some
such retired spot In the loxvor imoklng
room overlooking the river front and there
bo would sit reading or musing , paying
llttlo attention to what w s going on around
him. TliU particular oypnlng had closed n
day ot great excitement , during wbl'-li
I'arucll bad been obliged"to light hard for
his position ns chairman. Ho looked ex
it cinely pallid nnd worn out but his spirit
was unshaken. In fact his extraordinary pluck
nnd daring In confronting the formidable
host arrayed against him had roused the ad
miration of his bitterest foes.
I foretold mo that ho might possibly bo
batcn upstairs , but that would ha bo ablu to
hold his own In Ireland. "This movement
against me is no now thing. It has long boon
coming on. " Ho referred to two or three of
his most aggressive opponents by name , but
without the slightest bitterness. Only to
wards the Kngllsh leaders , especially Glad
stone nnd Hnrcourt , did ho seem to fool per
sonal animosity.
Gradually Wearing Out.
It seemed to mo that ho wns physically
weak and that the sword xvns wearing out
the scabbard. Dav after day ho faced the
botrtilonrmy without the slightest sign of
wlnuing. Some of Ilcaloy's remarks must
have stung him severely , but ho merely
shrugcod his shoulders. There never was
such n fight carried on by ono
man before , and It never will bo
forgotten by these who witnessed It.
Although Parnoll bore up n heroic front
his spirit must have been wounded and the
adverse result of the elections In Kilkenny
and Sllgo Inlllctod n tlll dccpar stub. The
last time ho came into the house ho wont
straight to his old se.it. Although his op
ponents had planted themselves thickly
around that spot , room was silently made for
the Invincible loader and ho sat down ns If
entirely unconscious that nnytnlng had
happened to divide him from his
former followers. His calmness , pa-
tlonco and indomitable spirit impressed
all who watched him In this troubled period
of his life , It remains to bo scon whether
uny one will bo nblo to lead his party nlong
with .such prodigious results as the man who
died fighting and whoso last words testified
a fresh love for Ireland.

in Ireland. Special trains Ire in all parts of
the country will bring tons of thousands of
mourners to Dublin tomorrow.
There was a terrible scene in the house
when the casket was about to bo removed.
The grief of Airs. Parnoll was most poignant
and she could with difficulty bo persuaded to
allow the coflln to bo taken away. As a
mark of respect to the dead the blinds of
many houses along the route of the funeral
procession were drawn down. On every side
wcro signs of slncoro sympathy.
As the hoarse passed them , despite
the doxvn-pouring rain , the spectators
look oft their lints nnd stood uncovered until
the last carriage had gene by. A dozen car
riages followed the hoarse. Thov con
tained Mrs. nicftlntotr ( Pninell's slitorx
Ileury Purnull , John Redmond and n number
ol other members of parliament , a deputation
from the Dublin corporation , and the leader
ship committee.
At the railroad station nt Brighton the
funeral party walled nn hour , the building
being packed with people anxious to got u
glimpse of thecuskot.
When the train containing the body of Mr.
Parnoll arrived nt Wllsden , the Junction
of the London & Northwestern railway with
the roads from the cast and south , a great
crowd rushed toward the carriage In which
the remains were deposited. As the doors
wore opened everyone reverently bared the
lio.ul nnd stood with silent expectancy , ap
parently watting for some loading Pariiollito
to speak. It was found , however , thut time
would not permit of any ceremony.
All that it wns possible to do "was to un
cover the coflln , which was lying In n case In
which It had been placed for transit from
Brighton , and to form n column of the people
who had assembled and allow them to pass
In single file through the railway carriage.
This wns successfully carried out. Many
persons in the line were observed to no
moved to tears. Delegate * from several
branches of the London league placed
wreaths upon the blor. Mrs. Parnell's
wreath was visible nt the head of the casket
when the funeral train reached Wlllesdon
Junction. It bore , In loiters beautifully and
artistically formed of flowers , the wonts :
"To my own true love , my hiibband , my
king. "
Mr. Pnrnoll'B sister , Miss Dickinson , soys
that no will of hnr brother has been found
and she does not believe that he loft uny , as
ho had said that ho did not intend to make
ono. She thinks that ho wished his brother ,
Howard Parnoll , an American , to Inherit his
property.

Hinting Conloyipor.iry.
A good deal of amusement has been caused
hero by the hysterical attempt of the
old fashioned newspaper publl.suoil hero
in English , and which has lately
been In llnauciiil difficulties but still lives
precariously , to ressurroob Balnmceda and
discredits the Herald's grand dispatches
from Chili , A lurgo spread head covers two
columns of vague reports from Santiago and
Washington ; the sunmsus of an ex-Chilian
minister , who owned ho had no news since
the war began ; IIM account of how a
reporter was snubbed at the American
legation ; and a de.il of fake work
evidently manufactured In tlio editorial oflico.
Tlio Chilian minister who represents the
junta , when asked what his opinion was
laughed heartily , and suiil It looked to him
llko an olTort of a Now York fuko newspaper
to discredit the splendid honest work done
by the Herald , which was the only newspa
per which had printed oxcluslvo tiow.s. Ho
denounced the nrtlclo In the folio wing words :
"I look upon It HI a pure invention , un
worthy of serious consideration. "
Ho said the official telegram ho had re
ceived loft no doubt In his mind of the death
of Bnlmacoda. It rend : "Tho government
luis Just been informed by Honor Uriburra
that Balmacoda committed suicide at bin
house. " The minister uddoa In reply : "The
Idea of the article Is that Mitcldo might bo
only a plot to hide the late president. I am
personally acquainted wltti Urlburrn , nnd
know him to bo a man totally Incapable of in
venting inch a falsehood , "
Further , to clinch the matter , when asked
whether in case there was any doubt of Bol-
macuda's death his government would not
huvo apprised him ho replied :
"Yes , most certainly it would. "
