I In accordance with tlio provisions of the
I .coifatltutlo.il , notice of tlio adoption of- the
I , resolution of impeachment by the Joint eon-
I vcntlon was sent by the secretary of the
I 'senate ' to Chief Justice Maxwell. As the
I ichlef justice was at his homo In Fremont
I the notice was sent by mall , nnil the supreme
I court will bo called to convene within the
I nr-xt ten days to try tbo Impeachment cases.
I' ' That it will at once proceed to trial Is not so
certain , as the defendants have the right to
demur , and If tbo court Is called upon to pass
uxin | demurrers tbo trial may bo delayed fern
n ahort period.
When tlio l.rgMiittirn IMllllllrl.
The nitlclcsof Impeachment are not yet
adopted , but will bo presented to the Joint
convention at 100 : o'clock Tuesday morning
for consideration and adoption. After thai
has been disposed of the Joint convention
will appoint a committee of management to
look after tbo securing of ovidoirt-o and the
proper prosecution of the case before tbo
court of impeachment. It Is not Improbable
that tbi' employment of attorneys to repre
sent tbo stale during this trial will also be
delegated to this committee , although many
of the members Insist that the convention
Hlmll Instruct tin1 cuinmlttep as to what at
torneys to employ , just as the committee ap
pointed to prepare the articles of impeach
ment was Instructed as to what attorneys to
employ to assist them in that work.
That will conclude the work of the legis
lature , so far as the impeachment of the
persons named in the resolution already
adopted is concerned. Tim same course will
bo necessary in the case of other parties
now under investigation , and with that work
off its hands tbo legislature will bo free to
devote itself wholly to matters of legislation.
Duty of tin * ( iovi-rnor.
The statutes plainly define the duties of
the governor in tbo premises. Section 20.
article v , entitled "Executive Department , "
provides :
If tbo olllco of ( million of public accounts ,
treasurersec-rotary of state , attorney general ,
commissioner of public lands and bulling * , or
miperlnli-mlcnl or public Instruction shall bu
vacated bv death , resignation or otherwise , It
shall he tlio duty of the governor In 111 ! thu
hutne by appointment , and tlm appointee shall
bold his olllco until Ills .successor shall bu
elected and qualified In sucli manner as maybe
bo nrovlded by law.
Alter consulting other eminent jurists ,
( lOveriiorCroimso has concluded to allow the
deputies of the impeached oflleials to take
t-hnrgo of the olllccs during tbo penduncy of
the trial.
It is not certain what action the committee
will take on the articles of impeachment as
prepared. Hit thus far It has acted unani
mously. It Is not Improbable that there will
bo a difference of opinion manifested on the
floor of the convention when the articles arc
presented , and that the friends of the Im
peached olllclals will nmlco their hardest
light to prevent the adoption of articles that
they may regard as too strongly drawn.
The articles of Impeacbmenc uealnst
David Butler numbered thirteen , and there
were twenty specifications. It is impossible
to state how many specifications there will
bo In the articles to bo presented Tuesday
morning , but they will undoubtedly far out
.number . those in tbo Butler easo.

The Omaha charter still rciiosos on the

was completed in tbo house this morning ,
Beal Introduced a resolution instructlm : the
ofllcers of the house to see that the mcuibci-H
did not follow tbo custom of former sessions
and carry away the cuspidors and waste
basknts used by them during the session.
Oakley , Burns , Lutton and Jensen pro
tested that it was an insult lo the members ,
and was discriminating in favor of the1
olllcers , who had heretofore been guilty ol
the looting. Itoll call wiw ordered , but before -
fore it wits completed the senate appeared
for the joint convention.
After the joint convention the senate
served notices on the bouse of Us refusal tc
accept the action of the house on the gen
eral appropriation bill , and asking a confer
ence committee , and also announced the ap
pointment of n conference committee on No.
nil , the legislative incidental appropriation
bill.
bill.Kcckley moved that the general appropri
ation bill bo brought back from the senate
to Insert an item of $25.000 to defray the ex
pense of the impeachment proceedings ,
There was no objection.
Senate illo No. 210 , the street railway bill ,
was advanced and placed ou Its passage in
the face of vigorous opposition. On roll call
tlio bill received sixty-two votes , but before
the vote was announced Felton moved to re
commit for speeillc amendment.
Scliclp endeavored to got in nnothci
amendment , but was squelched by the.
speaker. Schelp protested and insisted thai
he would not bo bulldoze ; ! . Stevens alsc
protested against the sagging of any member
bor , and for a minute or two the speaker was
subjected to a savage roasting , after whicl
Seholp and several others wcro allowed te
taclc on amendments with the consent ol
Felton. The motion to recommit was defeated -
feated , and thoj bill having failci
to pass with an emergency clause , it was
placed on its passage without an emergency
clause. It received r > , "i votes and was declaree
carried.
The speaker announced Sehappol and John
son of Hall as the conference committee 01
the legislative incidental appropriation bill
The house then adjournel until Tucsdaj
morning at 10 o'clocic in the face of vigorous
and persistent , oi > i > oslion. !
The senate commenced the same old grim
in the same old way this morning. After rol
and prayersthe usual batch of committee re
ports began to pile upon the secretary' !
desk.
Senator Halm , from the committee on ed
ucation , reported house roll 05 with thi
recommendation that it bo placed on genera

the law prescribing the duties of countj
superintendents.
The same eoinmlttoo also rccommcndei
that house roll 42.1 , prohibiting tlio manu
facture and sale of cigarettes , be placed ot
the general Illo.
The committee on revenue recommcndei
that senate file 201 bo placed on genera

telegraph and railroad property.
The senate proceeded to tbo house of rep

SOUTH OMAHA , Neb. , March H. To th <
Editor of TUB Unts : I was amused at Mr
Golden's article in TUB Ben of March 2
and his vigorous uenlul in regard to cm
ployes being inlluenced in signing petitions
\Vo all know that railroad oflleials do no
take it upon themselves to procure signa
tures to petitions of tins character ; thei
leave that pi casant task to their trustee
lieutenants ( those who have the honor o
being members of tbo Itallway Employe ,
club ) .
As an old railroad employe I wish to stati
that the employe that refuses to sign such ;
petition , or even talks against its features
might as well look for another place ! i
which to earn his daily bread. Would ho be
discharged or suspended ? No. Slmpl ;
roasted until ho would bo obliged to resign'
Employes of the road for which .Mr. fioldci
labors are familiar with this roasting pro
cess , especially If they have been fount'
guilty of being members of the telegrapher
organization. Mr. Golden is a tclegraphu
who rose from thu ranks of the meek nm
lowly to the high and lofty position of ills
patchor ( official ) at the princely salurv o
$110 per month.
Take this class of railroad labor for an il
lustration as to the bcnclits received fror
the exorbitant rates which railroad monoi
olios have wrung from the people. The rail
road telegrapher holds 0110 of the most im
portaiit and responsible positions in the rat
road service. On him alone depends th
safety of human lu-es and valuable mei
chandiso ; one single mistake In transmlttln
or receiving a train order would cause
terrible railroad accident. Still we will llm
this class of labor under Mr. Golden rcceiv
ing the beggarly and disgraceful salary o
$25 per month. This may seem prcposterou
but it is nevertheless n fact.
Now I will call attention to one of th
largo trunk line-s that crosses the state of Ni
braska and state that which ho must sure !
know , that salaries of this same class of en
ployes have during the last three years be-e
reduced from 10 to 25 per cent. 1 conliu
myself to his class of labor for two reason !
First , bevauso the telegraph and station sci
vice is the most loud-mouthed against si
called adverse railroad legislation. Tr.ii
men are beginning to have some sense an
do not antagonize their best friend , th
farmer. It is worthy of mention also ttu ;
the salaries in tr.im service have bee
steadily advanced instead of systematical !
reduced. Second , because wo are all famlllp
with the bill that has been introduce
to regulate guaranty companies an
compel them to do Justice toward tl :
emplo.\o of a corporation who is required t
furnish bond. This is of vital interest to th
telegrapher , and it remains to no see
whether bis bill for protection against n
unjust and foreign guaranty company wi
bo fondled and lovingly cared for by thorai
road corporation to whom he has dedicate
his unswerving supi > ort , or If the farmer li
has antagonized will come to his rcscuo an
return good for evil.
Mr. ( Joldun should bo congratulated ; 1
does his master's bidding well ami should n
celvo a higher salary. Perhaps ho may , pr
vldcd the maximum rate bill is defeated. ;
it becomes a law of course there will bu le :
tratllo on account of cheaper rates , an
fewer and less skillful labor will bo require
to handle it ( according to Mr. Golden
\ \ ages will bo reduced. Men who are no
receiving $25 per month will receive los
and men who now work sixteen hour * 01
day and itlT. days par year to handle the bu
mess will bo dispensed with entirely. I a
thankful that ho has , in a measure , prepare

Leeds of Atlantic City , N. J. , the amateur
champion lightweight of America , received
a setback tonight at the hands of Jack
McAuliffo. the champion professional light
weight , in a four-routid bout at the
Academy of Music. The auditorium was
filled with an enthusiastic crowd of
; i , , " ) ( ) ' ) and each pugilist had a large crowd of
followers. Walter Campbell was referee.
McAuliiTe was seconded by George Mc
Donald of London , Thomas Farrcll , ex-
iimatenr champion middleweight , and Jimmy
Nelson. Leeds had two relatives behind
him.
him.There
There -was a very noticeable discrepancy
iu Iho size and condition of Iho men. Leeds
was as "line as a fiddle , " and stood at least
three inches taller than McAuliffe , while the
latter weighed at least fifteen pounds more
than his opponent.
At the call of time MeAullffe went for his
opponent , but Leeds escaped. McAuliffo
then e-augbt Ixeds with bis loft and right ,
the latter a stiff blow under the heart.
Leeds ran in to clinch , and putting his head
down to avoid punishment butted Jack se
verely in the left eye , culling il open. Mae
did all Iho work unlil Iho end of Ihe round.
In the second round Leeds was cautious
and scarcely slruck a blow. Mac rushed
him all over tbo ring , jabbing him with his
left on the eye , upper cutting him and put
ting that punishing right in on Leeds' heart.
Just before the call of time ho drove Leeds
to the ropes with a hard left swing which
landed right on the jaw and bad him all bul
out.
out.In the third round MeAuliffo rushed and
Leeds fell almost over the ropes. Leeds
could not strike a blow until Mac slipped
and tliLii ho landed his right on MeAulfffo's
head , his only blow during Iho round , which
was entirely McAuillTo's. Leeds' face was
by this time a sicht. His eyes were nearly
ciose-d and the straight Jubs and upper cuts
of McAuliffo's loft nearly mashed bis nose ,
which was covered with blood.
In tbo fourth and final round , Jack starled
iu lo finish Leeds and punished him severely.
Leeds essayed lo lead once , but was short
and caught a stinger on the Jaw from Mae's
right which almost settled mailers. Ho
staggered up , but was fought to the ropes
and caught a left swing on the other side of
his jaw , which again almost dropped him.
.Leeds was game and stuck to it , and time
alone saved him. McAulitTo won easily , al
though tbo law precluded a decision by the
referee.

Sheriff Hlakoy and Deputy Sam Moses were
sent for ami in searching for them got trails
of two notorious characters , W. II. Aughey

cers thinking that Die four would soon meet
at some point , followed Aughoy and Clayton ,
hoping to capture the Iwo men Ihey were
after. Friday night Aughcy and Clayton
camped west of Kdgombnt several miles.
The sheriff and deputy secreted them
selves and observed Aughoy and Clayton
round up a few bead of cattle and kill two
fat steers. This was meat for the alert
ofllcers nnd they pounced upon the rustlers
with commands to throw up their bauds.
Clayton complied , but Aughey dropped behind -
hind the dead steer and pulling a Sharps
rillo , began shooting at Sheriff Hlakoy.
Shots were rapidly exchanged and Aughey
was winged. The men were then taken into
custody. Aughey was shot through the left
band and right arm and was brought to this
city and lodged in Jail. Clayton was once in
jail here for larceny and Aughoy was
arrested for tlio same ofTonso but escaped.

LOUISVIM.K , Ky. , April 1. A. K. Stilton and
his bookkeeper , William Beechor , languish
in jail in default of ball In the sums of f l.'i.OOO
and SIHMXX ) respectively. Bail was fixed at
ilrst at $ . " > 0,0X ( ) each , and despite the effort
made by the attorneys for the accused no
bondsmen were secured. This ball wan ro-
duccd somewhat by Judge Thompson this
morning nnd it is said that Sutton will bo
able to furnish hail.
Major IClnnoy made a formal protest
against tlio amount of the bond , and espec
ially that fixed for Boochor , but the court
could not bo Induced to change its opinion
The tu-olimiuary hearing was set for next
Saturday.
The amount of money obtained by Sutton
on his fraudulent receipts is , it seems , much
larger than was at llrst estimated. Attor
ney Kohn declares that the peculations of
the accused will aggregate i''o.l.thH ) . Cincin
nati batiks and bankers , It is stated on good
authority , will lose more than the l/julsvlllo
people. The frauds , it was learned this
morning , extend to Kansas City , St. Louis
and other western cities and may boidlslrib-
tiled through many other places.
It is Intimated that two well known citi
zens who have been close to Sutton are also
involved and may bo proceeded against in
the courts.
From late developments it appears tha * .
Cincinnati whisky brokers have been caught
for more than all the banks combined. Some
time niro , when tbo old Mattlnglv
distillery was reorganized , Mr. P. Mattingly
decided that the newly organized com
pany should redeem all of its .outstanding
warehouse whisky receipts , which had been
printed on a light yellow p.ipor , ami issue
new duplicates to the various banks and
parlies holding tlielr old paper to secure the
Just debts of the old Mattiugly distillery
combination. The reorganized company , ac.
cordlndy issued new receipts , printed by Mr.
President Mattlngly's directions , however ,
on a light green paper. As Sutton was an
interested party in the Mattingly distillery
reorganization , advising as to the now coin-
company's business affairs , etc. , the duty of
redeeming the old yellow warehouse receipts
with the now light green warehouse receipts
was intrusted to him. Ho supervised the
records of this particular work , redeeming
Iho receipts from the banks and other hold
ers In person.
It would seem thai Sutton. after redeem
ing old paper of the Mallingly company ,
quietly wcul on to Cincinnati and secured
handsome loans on the yellow warehouse re
ceipts and entrapped the Cincinnati houses
above mentioned.
Mr. Leon Block , who is In the city today ,
acknowledged that tlio Cincinnati houses
had been grandly defrauded by the running
Sutton. Ha conlirmed the fact of Sutton's
fraudulent borrowing of money on canceled
receipts by representing to the Cincinnati
parties that the old yellow receipts were
original and genuine , when they were in fact
worthless duplicates of the newly issued
green warehouse receipts , held by Louisville
bankers.
This startling development is followed by
another feature oven more damaging to
Sutton. It was learned from an excellent
source this morning that Sutton after hav
ing taken warehouse receipts in exchange for
whisky , .surrendered at Iho- time , went to
work and deliberately offered such receipts
as collateral on loans , thus virtually borrow
ing money on whisky collateral that bad no
absolute existence.
