The democrats made nn nbortlvo nltompt
to holil n mass mooting In Blum's hall lust
night. Tlio accumulated stock of campaign
cnthu.tlnsm proved too much for ttio capacity
of the building , however , nntl It broke up In
contusion nt the end of the first act. The
scenes of the rccont democratic convention
were repeated ami showed that the Inter

that pervaded the runlM of the untorrlflod.
The mcatlcR wns under the aiiiplcos of
the South Omaha Democratic club and

to order , llo Introtiuccd lion. M. V. Gannon
of Omnbn , who remarked Unit ho had ulways

"Do you dare to make such achargol" said
n volco'from the nudlence.
"Ye.s sir , I do dcllhenitely , nnd I make the
further chnrgu nnd 1 din substantiate It , that
your democratic candidate ) for mayor dis

"H is for you to soy , " added Mr. Gannon ,
"whether the uinn who skulked unaer the

At this point Mr. T. .1. Mahoney entered
nnd was loudly cheered.
Mr. Towlo was then called for. llo arose
nnd said : " 1 am a democrat. " Ho said
nomothing more , but his words were lost in a
tumult of conllicting cheers and hlsbcs.
When tlio uproar subsided ho got a ctmnco
to snv that the charges mnUo against
him by the Johnston organ were
fnlso nnd ho dared Mr. Johnston
to como before the audlonco : i"d
prove them. Some ono called for Johnston ,
who trinpcu gaily down the nislo and
mounted tlio platform. Ho carried an armful
of city records , but ho could not gutn chunco
to use them. Ills supporters cheered while
the other faction hissed and after nuout lif-
tccn minutes Mr. Johnston sat down nnd
Mr. MaUonoy wus Introduced. Mr. Mnhonoy
took for his'text "Splits in the Democratic

Ho exhorted the voters to stand by the
nominee of tlio convention nnd warned them
that to vote for tbo Independent candidate
would moan the election of Mr. Miller , a re
publican. Hn called attention to the fact
that the alleged note produced by the Towio
contingent was dated ten days aftnr the
election mid that was as far as no
could go. The crowd pressed
lip close to the platform and the
disorder which had broken out half n dozen
times duiing the meeting1 , culminated in a
general muss. The president vainly pounded
his table with a bosr glass. The rank and
fllo democracy whooped with added viror
and pushed up to have a hand in the general
light thutsoemcd imminent.
Judga Levi discreetly retired to n fortifloil

Mystery oCtlin .Srnsiitloiml Aliilnctluu Case
riniilly CIc.iriMl Up.
The mystery surrounding the allogoJ nb
ductlon of Mrs. Snyder of 2.117 Cass stieot ,
Oinaliu , who was rescued from the Now
York Cigar store by the police on tno night
of March 10 , has been solved. .I < n Hawkins
occupies a cell at the city Jail nnd admits
that ho is the man who took Mrs. Snyder
to the divo. llo also tells a number of other
things.
Hawkins' story , which was found to to
true In most respects , is that Mrs. Snyder
went out und accumulated ono of the
most luminous Jags on record in South
Omaha and told the story of her alleged in
nocence with such assumption of truth that
oven Tom Montnguo was fooled and icgardcd
her as an innocent victim of the wiles ot
the prooarcr.
It scorns that Mrs. Snyder arrived in
South Omaha about tlio middle of the after
noon. She accosted a number of men stand
ing in Iront of Sobotkcr's cignr store at
Twcnty-sovontu nnd N streets und uskcd
them to direct her to a wlno room. She was
directed to u saloon near by where she called
for 11 hot wills icy nnd drank it. Sao was in
toxicated nt , the time.
About 5 o'clock Mr. Hawkins , who Is
under arrest , was driving across the Q btroot
viaduct when , according to his story ho met
the bnydcronian. . She wns on foot , very
drunk , .and Nourishing n butcher knlte
with n 10-inch blade , with winch she said
Rho was going to kill some ono. Hawkins
diovo on nnd Mrs. Snyder walked on to the
saloon kept by McOuiro & Jonicnsky nt ino
cast end of the viaduct. There were nearly
twenty men In the saloon at the time , anil
with u.unruhoop the woman chiirgod upon
them with the butcher knlio. Tlio room was
cleared in about ton second.nnd John Me-
CJuire , who was behind the bar , succeeded In
disarming tlio woman after asovcro struggle.
Hawkins had returned by this time and
followed the woman up the btioct. A. man
was with her at the tlmo. At Sago's hay
and feed barn she fell down nftor calling to
the lady clurk to como nnd help her. She
wns cairied Into the store when Hawkins of
fered to take her away in his wagon. This
was agreed to mm ho took her tothoTwonty-
Bovcnlh stiout dive , thinking , ho said , that
aho belonged theie. Huwliius lias been
employed for some tlmo ns a deliv
ery man bv 0. M. San ford , a
grocer HI. 1)019 ) 11 street. Ho told Sanford of
the Snyder nftalr some days ago and when
Sanford nnd Hawkins had u fnllli.g out San-
lord told a UKI : reporter that Hawkins had
confessed having abducted Mrs. Snvdor.
Hawkins wns arrested yesterday and 'Mrs.
Bnydor sent for to Identify him. In the
inoantimo the facts related nhova which are
corroooratcd at the saloon and nt Sago's
btoro have come to light and it Is not prob-
nblo that any ctjargo will bo made against

Some of the foremost hustlers in the Inde

executive committee will meet in
Omaha about the Kith , of May
to look after convention matters onii
this question of selecting a headquarters
will then be decided.
The kickers in the Independent camp seem
to nave been quite thoroughly sat upon in
the aunoiiumcnt of subcommittees. Last
week ono of the malcontents told : i UKE re
porter that there would bo blood on the moon
if more of the would bo local leaders of the
independent party were not. placed on the
important committees which have in hand
the July con volition.
' It is our convention , " said this particular
kicKcr , nnd wo think it is only fair and right
that wo should bo placed on the important
committee. ! rather than democrats , or repub
licans. "
Uut the level heads of the independent
party nnd the businesi men of the cltv hnvo
evidently thoucht it best to have the lipanco
committee in ado up without toferenco to
political adulations.
" 1 am heartily clad to see n few of the
blood bucket1) who hang on to our pirty left
entirely out of the iinanco nnd other import
ant committees,1' said ono of the real loaders
of the party. "They inailo a loud roar about
the matter , out it did no good. All
they are after Is boodlo. They want to cot
where they can handle some money , and I
am very glad that they are not going to have
the opportunity. The citizens of Omaha ,
without regard to political afllliations , are
contributing liberally toward paying the ex
penses of the convention and it is richt that
representative citizens should have charge
of the o funds rather than n lot of political
loustnbouts. 'llus is a matter which concerns -
corns the people of Omaha , not merely a few
small-boiv politicians in tbo independent
party , and I , as a member of that party , nm
delighted to see some of the sore heads
uttcily ignored in the makeup of the im
portant committees. '

The report that has gone abroad to the ef
fect that the ordinance providing for the re-
pa VIP K of Leaven woi th street from Sixteenth

that the project had beou abandoned , Is with

mation that comes from tun local dopaitincnt
of tbo city nnd the committee on paving ,
curbing and guttering.
The old ordinance piovlding for the ropiv-
ing of the street has been placed on Illo ,
simply because It did not provide for tlio
proper protection of the city's interest in the
matter of dealing with the ntreet railways in
reference to paving between the tracks.

tion.Tho
The railroad ofllcials nro mum ns clams on
the subject und pretend to treat the matter
lightly , und evidently want to convoy the
Impression that the stolen property it abso
lutely valueless to the ponon who committed
the crime. Sivor.it of the company's detec
tives are working on the case , but like the
oftlclals , they look wise and say nothing. It
Is understood , however , that the sleuths nro
weaving n web of oviJenca around nn ox-
traln agent , roeontlv dUohnrgod , nnd thov
expect eventually to land tliu young man in
jail.Tho
The discharged employe is being watched
and has boon for some time , nnd the dotcc-
tivos found that the party iu question spent
money like water , iltauk to excess , wore diamonds
mends and spent n great deal of time and
money amonir the doinl-mondo. Thl.t same
young man would often report that his
-ntclml full of tickets and oxctmno chocks
had been stolnn while loft unguarded for n
moment. Those , excuses wont with the ofll-
ciils until the mlssitig tickets supposed to bo
stolen bogii'i to turn up in the ticket scalpers'
ofllce ? . When this was discovered the train
agent was r.ummariry dismissed and the mnn
who wnr. running opposlto him taken olT the
road and given nn olllco position at headquar
ters.
ters.Tho two new train agents , Hart and Stiles ,
have onlv beou lunulug n short time nnd the
recent affair was the second ono of the kind
which bus occurred to Hart since ho took the
run.
run.A conductor who has boon In the employ
of the Union 1'acillo for a number of years
said that it would be a very difficult matter
lor conductors to spot the stolen exchange
cheeks. Thuso checks are issued by the train
agent iu exchange lor foreign tickets which
are taken up by the nsjont. Of course the
conductors will have n list nf the numbers of
tlio cheeks , but in the hurry of going throuch
n train they could not stop to look over their
list every time an oxchnngo check was of
fered. These checks are issued on the train
and are not stamped and only require a
inincli mark to make them good und any
kind ot a punch mmk goes.
It > vns reported last night that the rail
road special agents who have the matter in
charge have discovered that the company
has boon systematically robbed by n number
of train agents employed on the Union 1'a-
cille system who hud formed n rms und ar
ranged a plan to bold out certain tickets
which they failed to cancel and dispose of
.hem to brokers in Chicago , Denver , Kansas
2ity and Portland. If there is any * truth in

Mr. J. A. Munroe. at present general

could not retain him a the

The regular monthly mooting ot the Hap-
tUt mliiHton otXtmahn nt the 1'uxlon hotel
yostordny proved to bo n very Interesting
ono although thoaltoudatico was not so largo
M could have boon desired. Those present
from out of the city were Hov. Mr. McComioll
of A&hland and.Kov. Mr. Halt of Council
UlulK
After tlio usual preliminary report ! frum
all the rmtors proont with regard to the
condition of thulr work Kov. S. H. WIlcox of
C.ilvary church dcllvorod tlio uddre.ss of the
mooting.
The spanker took up a number of InterestIng -
Ing topics portioning to the promotion of
morn aetlvo Christl in work among church
people. In the IlrU plaro Kov. Mr. WIlcox
thought thut church pjoplo should bo con
vinced that tha ministers should not bo ex
pected to do all the work of the church.
Young paoplo should DO taught tint their
llfo mjans something more than having n
good tlmo. The churches , ho feared , wcro
running too much Into the cnUirtainniont
business. It scemail ns though the church
was running u race with tno world
In the olTort to got up something
that would tlcklo nnd ploiso the
young people. Tlio practice of giving
mocc.isln sociables , nnd buttoilly sociables ,
und soiling gltU nt auction anil a thousand
nnil oao schemes that worts in voeun for the
amusement of the young noaplo , ho
thought , were tending 'o Impress the young
iicoplo with tlio Hie a that to bo onturtnlnod
wns the prime object of life.
Ho didn't llko the idea of having n dotibio
standard of moral responsibility mid duty ,
0110 for ministers and the other lor members.
Ho didn't see why it could bo considered all
right for chtirjh ma.nbjrs to sloop till 10
o'clock Sunday morning and stay uway from
church nnd at the sumo tlmo ox poet the
minister to bo thcro promptly every Sunday.
Then ho bulleved that there WIM too many
sermons preachoj simpl.v to oitcrtam. Ho
had hoard n ladv say recently that she
wouldn't have missed a ccitaln sonnon for
$ T > . 11 wns an nttractivu sort of show no
doubt. Ho believed in .sermons that would
stir people to do their duty rather than onter-
tnln. Too m.tny church mumbors scorn to
think thai when they have gone to church
and have hoard the * minister tell about their
dutv a Christiiins thnt'thc whole work is done
They novur SPMIII to think that thov ought to
do anything but listen to thorogtilarsormons
every weulc.
The speaker also held that Christianity
should bo applied t ) overvdny life. There
was getting to bo n wide gulf between
churchaiiity and Christianity and that was
Just the rosen the misses were losing faith in
the church3 . Tlioro woio too many balloon
religions. What the world ncoitod was ro-
llgion that had its feet llrmlv on the earth
while it pointed to something better
nnd higher. Hu believed that the pulpit
should deal with the practical problems of
the day , such as the temrornnco question ,
the divorce evil , the social evil and tuo lubor
problem.
" 1 bellovo in a religion that makes men
and women hotter and happier right hero on
earth , " snid the speaker , "nnd I wouldn't
uivo a llg for a religion that is all formalitv
and is nwav in the air above the heads of
the people. "
Some interesting discussion took plnuo
after the nddreas and in the main the other
pastors present hcartllr approved all that
hail oeen said by llcv. Mr. Wilcox.
