A rattier peculiar scene took place at the
police court yesterday morning ut the trial
of Burke and Hall , the two men who were
supposed to have stolen sonio watcn s and
pawned them in Omaha. Ofllcor G'oonnoll
of the detective force had been working on
the case and had managed to secure a few
innocent bits of information , among other
tilings that the stuff had boon pawned at
considerably loss than Its real value. Ho
tinU also gottnn hold of the pawn tickets , but
ho bad boon unable to lind the slightest evi
dence to show tn ill the goads had boon
stolen , although tbo general appearance ot
the two men indicated that the ; were not
first-class citizens.
The detective told his atory and Judge
McUuo 3.1 once ordered the prisoners dis
charged. refusing to commit them oven for
vagrancy. Ho also administered a lecture to
the detective on matters connected with his
profession. This gave an idea to Jotm Limit ,
tne attornov for the prisoners , and ho pro
ceeded to run In a bold bluff on the detective ,
asking him what right ho had to have the
pawn ticket In his pocket when it belonged
to bis clients. Ho demanded that the bit of
pasteboard bo delivered up instantcr.
"But I loft it In Onmna , " said the detec-
tlvo"Well
"Well , " was the attorney's reply , "we'll
sec about that. Here , Hall , sign this , " and
the attorney hustllv drew up an information
charging O'Conuell ' with larceny and Hall
signed it.
"Now , your honor , " said I.inJt , "I would
llko to liavo this mail taken into custody at

was no particular hurry about making sucti
a decided move.
"Then I'll toke it to a court where mv
client can got Justice , " said Limit , and with'
n largo gob of righteous indignation on his
brow ho started off with the paper In his
hand. At luit accounts O'Connoll was still

The St. Louis Republic In a recent Issue
says : The ministry has furnished several
shining lights to the dramatic profession , but
there are very few Instances on record where
the latter has contributed anything to the
work of the religious Hold. Such a case , and a
promincntono , too , Is now found in the retire
ment of George Hanlon of the famous Ilunlon
brothers. Tbo retirement was mode dollnlto
by communications between William Hanlon ,
who Is now hero with the "Superba" com
pany , and Ucorge himself , who Is In Phila
delphia , preparing to engage , it is sold. In
evangelistic work in a special faith.
Whether or not Mr. Hanlon is to go into the
evangelistic Hold cannot bo learned defi
nitely , but that it is true is not doubted by
hose conversant with thn situation , but
who nro not in a position to speak freely on
the subject. Mr. William Hunlon , when
soon at iho Hagan , consented to give a state
ment of facts as to bis brother's retirement ,
but as ho did not know anything absolute
as to his brother's intentions tor the tuturo ,
ao could not venture any opinions.
"Sufllce it , " ho said , "to know that my
brother Gcorgo is acting as ho thinks for the
best , nnd between us there is the warmest of
brotherly feeling. 1 have seen paragraphs in
several relitrious and dramatic papers of
prominence to the effect that at the end of
this season I was to retire from the theatrical
profession on accountof my extromoreligious
viaws. It was also stated that I was tbo
oldest of the Hanlon brothers. Now that
George has retired there is no further reason
for keeping the facts from the public. In fact ,
they should become generally known , and so
far'as I am personally concerned I desire to
buvo them fully understood. Goorco bos
been gradually taking an increasing interest
in religious matters for several years. This
has been no secret to these who were at all
intimately connected with him in cither
business or social affairs. This has been to
such an extent that for the past two or
tnree years ho has practically relinquished
all active interest in our theatrical enter
prises. In fact , I may say this was so fully
the case that the burden of inventing and
producing our latest pantomime , 'Superba,1
fell of a necessity upon my shoulders , the at
tention of my brother Edward being entirely
occupied with tbo affairs of 'Fantasmo. ' In
retiring from the theatrical profession , In
which bo has been associated with us for
years , George takes with him our love and
warmest affection. The bonds of brotherly
affection which have for years held the Han-
Ions so firmly together since our earliest boy
hood are , if anything , stroncthoned by my
brother's action. "
Mr. Hanlon was piled with several other
Questions , but bo would not consent to
discuss the affair any further. It was
learned from local sources , however ,
that Gcorgo Hanlon's religious inclina
tions have been very strong for several years
and that last year ho not only declined to
attend a Sunday performance , but refused to
accept any share of the receipts of such per
formances , directing that his proportion
should ho sot aside to devote to special chari
ties. Tbo sums so sot aside amounted to
considerable in the aggregate , and it is said
that ho will devote them in bulk to some
special institution. Tbo case is thostrangest
ono on record. The Hnnlons' productions
have alwaps been on the highest plane of
morality , and the only explanation is that
George Hanlon deslros to devote his remain
ing years , with the fortune ho has harvested ,
to religious work without having bis time
diviaed by business cares. Ho is auundantly
nblo to do this.

Tnoro was quite an interesting meeting of
the Hay and Feed exchange Tuesday evenIng -
Ing in the Hoard of Tradu rooms.
Fred G. Shtnrock , manager of the Glencoa
mills , occupied the chair. The principal ob
ject of the association is to establish n sys
tem of mutual protection among the bay and
feed ilculers , their shippers and customers.
It seems that there Is considerable dissatis
faction at present on all Hides on account of
the Irregularities in prices ut which goods
are sold alike to dealer and consumer.
The scssslon last night was mostly devoted -
voted to a dhcinslon of the best plan to
adopt to protect prices and dovlso a system
of blacklisting the supposed dead beats ,
Hoyeral momborsof thoexchange presented
griovnnco * on tbo line of business repre
sented and which comes under the provis
ions of section II of the by-laws. The sec
tion referred to reads as follows :

only nnd are not allowed tn tiny or sell to any

It appears that this provision does not meet
with favor at the hanas of the Jobber because
it provides thnt he shall not sell direct to
the consumer except in certain quantities
and ut prices In advance of that charged to
rotall dealers. The Jobbers claim that this
would not bo objectionable if the retailers
were willing and would deal only with thn
Jobber. As It Is the Jobber claims that ho is
offering all and rocolviu ; , ' none of the protec
tion. On tbo other hand the retail merchant
claim : the rlirht to buy where ho can get the
best bargains , whllo the wholesaler wants
the middleman superseded , The purpose of
tun association is to try und induce members
not to deal with trackmen who sell to the
consumer at lower rates than the rotall
price. A motion to reduce the penalty for a
violation of the rules from f-5 to f 10 was lost.
