LINCOLN , Juno CO. [ SpccIal toTnn BBB. ]
The somewhat celebrated suit wherein
Henry Oliver sued his brother-in-law , J. F.
Lancing , for an accounting , claiming that
$30,000 was duo him , was decided today by
Judge Hall , who found that Oliver owed
Lansing * tG73. ) Oliver formerly lived at
Atlanta , Oa. , and having considerable
money to Invest relied upon the Integrity
and honesty of his brother-in-law and sent
it to him for Investment In Lincoln prop
erty. In his complaint ho charged that
lanslng had taken advantage of him by un
loading upon him property of his own ( Lan
sing's ) at exorbitant pricesnnd had In other
ways violated his trust. Ono of the trans
actions Involved the transfer of some prop
erty on east O street , In block nlno , Kin-
uoy's O street addition , and it was hedged
about bv a number of complications. The
court found as follows :
That Oliver came to Lincoln in 1801 and
that prior to that time there was no dispute
ns to Ills ownership of block U. In April ,
18U1 , Oliver became Interested in the opera
house project mid said to Lansing , who was
slow about coming Into It , that ho would
build the opera house himself , but ho would
want Lansing to refund him the * 10,000 paid
for block 1) ) . Lansing refused to do so. Oli
ver says that Lansing subsequently prom
ised to trade back , out Lansing denied that
ho over did. The court finds that in all of
the testimony relative to conversations bo-
twcoa the parties , Oliver does not complain
that Lansing deceived him In any particular.
In May , 1802. Oliver wrote Lnnslng asking
that block U bo deeded back to Lansing , say
ing that ho could not hold it as an iinest-
nientat Lansing's figures. Ho wanted the
money turned In as part Pay for the lots on
which the opera house is located for which
ho tncn owed Lansing. Meantime Oliver
liad mortgaged ten of the lots In block 'J ' ,
some of them without Lansing's consent.
The court further holds that Oliver fully
ratified the block 0 purchase. .
In IBM ) Lansing sold to Oliver a twonty-
flvo-foot lot on O street near Twentieth , and
an adjoining lot for $1,700 , having Just pur-
chasca the latter lot lor $1,700 , and falling
to notify Oliver that its ? : t,000 mate was
his own property. Oliver did not discover
it until ho had sold the land. The court
sots Lansing back somewhat on this sale by
allowing him but $1,700 for his $ a,000 , the
same price as that paid for the adjoining
lot. It also finds that Lansing over
charged Oliver ? IOO for plumbing , but has
from time to time fully accounted for rents.
The court , therefore , finds a balance due
Lansing of S'J.GTU.OG ' and gives Judgment
therefor , each party to pay half of the
costs.

LISCOLX , Juno 20. [ Special Telegram to
Tim BKK. ] The state printing board held an
extended session this afternoon and finally
adjourned until tomorrow without making
any contract * . The delay was caused by the
attempt of the State Journal people to con
vince the board that they w'cro entitled to
the contract for printing the session laws.
In I advertising the board asked for bids on
thu laws Including the maximum rate bill.
The Journal company's bid was $3.75 a page ,
tvhllo North fi Co.'s was for W.GO a page and
fcM for the maximum rate bill.
Air. Hathaway objected to the consider
ation of North ft , Go's , bid , which was the
lowest , on the ground that the firm had not
followed the specifications , but had bid on
the laws and the bills suparutclv. Both
sides were represented by counsel , and after
a lenirthy discussion on the interpretation of
the specifications , the board wont into ex
ecutive session , where It is said Secretary of
State Allen contended vigorously for his
friend , Mr. Hathaway.
It was finally decided to refer the matter
to the attorney general for a decision and
the L'oneral sentiment appears to ba that
Mr. Hustings will decide in favor of llutha-
way. notwithstanding the North bid Is $150
lower , and thus in part repay the Journal for
Its efforts In his behalf during the Impeach
ment trial. On the majority of the other
specifications the Lincoln Printing company
Is the lowest , but the bidders are nervous
lest Mr. Hathaway has another dodge In
store to win the big prices.

Aid for Lincoln' * Mlulont
Closing Uetulls ,
The closing day of the Lutheran mission
ary convention began yesterday morning with
the usual devotional exercises , conducted by
Mrs. DIofondorf of Berne , N. Y.
The llrst business taken un was the reading -
ing of a latter from Mrs. A. L , Sadtlor of
Guntcr , India. This was ono of the most
complete and interesting letters upon the
situation of the mission work in that far off
land thnt has been road during the present
convention. It was received with marked
interest by the convention ,
Miss Protsraan of Now York presented
the report of the special committee
appointed to report upon the work
of the executive committee. The report
was . exhaustive and pointed. Ono Item
In the report stirred up considerable dlscui-
slon. It'was the flrst real dlfilculty that the L
convention has encountered and It canto as a
largo majority of missionary troubles coitio ,
through the stress of financial ncods and the
inability of the various missionary organiza
tions to do all that they would like to do by
way of assisting the struggling missions
both at homo and abroad , i'ho committee
recommended that the sum of fdV50 ! bo
donated to the Oraco Lutheran mission of
Lincoln , Nob. This brought up un old mat
ter that has causml a good deal of unploas
nntnoss in the Lutheran church and In the
Woman's Missionary society.
llulp Tor Lincoln Allusion * .
It seems that several years ago the
Woman's Missionary society agreed to pivo
to St. Marx's mission In Lincoln the sum of
fO.fiOO , but alter the pledge had oecnmado it
was found that it would bo necessary to
organize a second mission at Lincoln. Then
It was suggested by the Board of Homo
Missions that the money ought to bo divided
between the two missions rather than to bo
all given to one. This was practically
agreed to , but not In a w.iy that bound the
Woman's Missionary society in any way.
The Board of Homo Missions finally took en
tire charge of St. Mark's mission
and released the Woman's Missionary
society from further responsibility ,
In the matter so far as that church was con
cerned. The Woman's Homo and Foreign
Missionary society paid over ono-half of the
amount originally pledged to St. Mark's mis
sion , but the remainder was never paid to
cither St. Murk's or to Grace mission. When
the recommendation of the committee was
read It brought out n lengthy discussion.
Some of the ladles held that the missionary
society was under no obligations whatever
to pay this money to Grace mission. While
they would llko to help the Lincoln mission
they thought that it would bo poor policy to
bestow so much money upon ono community
when there were other uluccs that needed
help Just as badly and were Just as worthy.
I.uthor 1 * . Luilclun llxplulns.
Uov. L. P. Ludden of Lincoln , pastor of
Grace Mission church , was given an oppor
tunity to explain thesituatlon.and ho did so s t
some length. Mrs. Badgel.y of Now York and
others wore opposed to the idea of spending so
mucn money in buildlngitlno' churches in the
west while there \rero congregations in the
east that were getting along with bare floors
and tattered walls. She know a great many
people In the east whoso missionary zeal was
beginning to ooze out. so to speak , on account
of this apparent extravagance In expending
the money of the missionary society. After
a long discussion , In which the best of spirit
was shown from lirst to last , it was decided
to lay the matter on the table until the after
noon mooting.
The committee on revision of the consti
tution brought in a report that kept the con
vention busy until the noon recess. Several
minor changes were made in the constitu
tion , enlarging committees and defining the
details of business for the organization gen
erally.
Artornonn
The convention transacted an immense
amount of business at the afternoon session.
The committee qu books and literature sub
mitted a report which was adopted. The
matter bearing upon the donation of funds
for the Grace mission at Lincoln was taken
from the table and toferred back to the ex
ecutive committee with the recommendation
that the missionary board of the church bo
requested to extend assistance.
Dr. Day of Africa was called forward and
was made a lite member of the association ,
Mrs. Peters of St. Louis donated n pin
which she wished to have presented to Mrs.
Day , wlfo of the African missionary. A col
lection was taken to accompany the pin.
The gift is a handsnmo ornament presented
to Mrs. Peters by a frlwid in Europe and
has a picture of Martin Luther In the
set. It will be presented to Mrs. Day along
with a snug sum of money.
The committee on resolutions brought In a
series of resolutions pertaining to the work
of the association and thanking Mrs. Prcsl-
dnnt Hunter for the fair ami acceptable man
ner in which she had presided. The resolu
tions also recommended that in administer
ing thu sauramunt the church should use only
the unfermentea Juice of the grape.
The opening of the World's fair
on Sunday was deprecated. The pastor
and people of the Keuntzo Memorial
church and the people of Omaha generally ,
who contributed toward the success of the
convention were heartily thanked /or their
kinkness , and Tim BEB was also remem
bered In the resolution.
Dr. Hainma advised the ladies not to pass
the resolution pertaining to un fermented
Juice of the grape Inasmuch as they would
bo treading on a very much mooted ques
tion , and would s imply stir up unnecessary
discussion on the matter. The resolutions
were adopted , however , as presented.

venliiK Session ,
With the evening session , the convention
of the Woman's Homo und Foreign Mis
sionary boelety of the Lutheran church
closed its labors , and mauy of the delegates
are already speeding on their way home
while others will depart today. Mauv of
the ladies w III visit the World's fair on the
way east , for although they deprecate the
fact thnt thu fair U to bo opened hereafter
on Sunday , thuy have the good sense to
realize that they would bo missing tue op-
ixmunity of ; v life time to pass the White
City by without making itu visit.
The closing session was devoted chiefly to
two things , the question box and thu bible
reading by Mrs. Easterday of Lincoln. The
I
question box was opchdd by Mrs. P S.
Hooper of Lykcns , Pa. . TJio list of questions
was a long ono. Eaon micjtlon suggested
'tho nnmo of the porson'tvho should bo called
HIui to answer it , nnd , frith but few excep
tions the ladles all answered promptly nnd
very comprehenslvolyr SIost of the ques
tions pertained to the/boat methods and
tlpi
plans of conducting the , local societies , of
course , and the answcrs'atd not always moot
with the universal approval of the members ,
forinso Inrccan astetubly It could not bo
thcrwtso than that , .there should bo a
variety of opinions upqn'somoof the prob-
ctns presented. , J
"Should the president of the society
always conduct the devotional mcctlngl"
itrr itadvlsablo tohaWa roll call at each
mooting ? " "What is trio-best method of col
lecting duosl" "How may a blblo reading
icol conducted so as to get the most good out
of ill" and "How can wo Inspire those who
olh
have grown cold with zeal and got them
back Into the work ! " were some of the
questions asked nnd answered.
Dr. Hamma was asked if the churches of
California had not been extravagantly built.
Ho answered the question at souio length
lie grow eloquent In describing the beauties
of Lutheran churuhes as ho would like to
see thorn. Ho said that the Lutheran
church In San Francisco had cost more than
was really necessary , but as the Woman's
Missionary society had only given $5,000
toward the enterprise , and the citizens of
San Fr.lnclsoo had glvon $ : W,000 , ho thought
the fS.OOO had boon a wlso Investment.
tlCi Mrs. M. McK. Eastorday of Lincoln , NOD. ,
conducted a blblo reading that proved to bo
very cnjoyablo to the devout women of the
convention. It was In reality a neat and
touching little sermon based uiK > n half n
dozan texts. The special virtues of parental
ovc , as exemplified in the proper toachli.g
0fi children , the virtue of p.itieneo and zeal
for the Master's cause , and the necessity of
maintaining a disposition of thankfulness to
God for His manifold blessings were all
vividly and pleasantly set forth by the
graceful speaker.
At the close of the blblo reading President
Hunter spoke a few llttlng words In whien
she returned thanks to the ladles of the con
vention for the courtesy with which they
had ' recognized her all the way through the
convention. She also expressed her special
pleasure t > over the kindness that had been extended
c'c
tended by the people of Omaha , and espe
cially the pastor and members of thoKountzo
Memorial church , toward herself and all the
inumbors of the convention.
After taking up a collection for the pur
pose of swelling the amount of money that
is to accompany the pin the socloty Is going
to send to Airs. Day , wife of thu missionary
to Africa , the members sang , "God Bo With
You Till Wo Moot Again , " the benediction
was pronounced and the convention was
ended.

that the father married the stepmother ,
whom Lizzie was charged with having
murdered. This marriage was against
the wishes of the young girl , who en
tered many a vigorous protest , but with-
o at avail. Alter the marriage and while the )
Bordcns lived at Gloimood , Ll/zia was at
homo but littloof tiino.boiucabscnt teaching
school In the surrounding' country districts.
Among her relatives she numbered Andy
Borden as a cousin. Ho was regarded ns a
wild young fellow and for ti time was a clerk
in the Grand Central hotel , prior to its burn
ing down. After that ho held the position
of city passenger agent. ol the Milwaukee
road , leaving hero in 1878 for parts unknown.
Ho was charged with having embezzled ? COO
from the Knights of Pythias lodge , of which
ho was the treasurer.Yhothor or not this
charge was true is not knownbut , it is n fact
that no criminal proceedings were over
instituted. r
Went to Protojt.
City Treasurer BoUif-ycstcrday received
notice from Cleveland , O. , that the $5,000
certified check of W. J. Hayes & Son , sent
for collection , had gene to protest , the bank
refusing to pay the same.
The check was forwarded for collection ,
owing to the rolusal of the llrm to comply
with the terms of its contract for § 77,000 of
district grading bonds contracted for sev
eral weeks ago. The firm is the owner of
the bank which issued the check and the re
fusal to cash the sumo and permitting the
paper to go to protest undoubtedly means
litigation. Mr. Bolln will now place the
matter in the hands of City Attorney Con-
neil , wtio will endeavor to force collection ,
as the council has expressed such a desire.
I'ubllo Work in rrogrvft * .
Public work starts out this week with a
smaller number of contracts under way than
there was last week. Instead of twenty ,
grading is being done on fourteen streets.
Paving is increased by the addition of two
alloys and Ninth street , from Pacific to the
alloy north , ana the intersection of Fortieth
ami Cum ing streets.
The Twenty-first street main sewer is
added to the list of sewers under way. The
close of the week will witness the comple
tion of a largo number of these contracts.

INTO A KETTLE OF GRIEF
DomMok Oosgrovo Likely to Bo Hanged
Therein by D.in Farrell ,
QUERY OF A THIRD WARD ASSESSOR
lloVjntoiI to Know How Much There tTn
In U lor lllm to rix nn A ei .
luont Clmrcin Itnvo
Doun
Domtnlcic Cosprove Is the Third ward as
sessor , nnd it Is because of that fact and
some of his official nets that n capacious Itot-
tlo of grief Is brewing for him , Dan Carroll ,
of Farrell & Co. , hns lo'lged ' a complaint
with the county commissioners to the effect
thnt Cosgrovo maito a demand upon him for
a personal monetary consideration to secure
a favorable assessment of Farrell & Co.'s
'personal property , and when It was not
forthcoming raised the assessment to ton
times what it was last year.
In speaking of the matter yesterday Mr.
Farrcll said that Cosgrovo came Into his oftlco
and abruptly Introduced himself with the
remark , "Well , I just guess I'll sot you up. "
Fart-nil Inquired lit what way , and Cosgroro
said that ho was trolng to assess the Drop-
orty , and then demanded to know , "How
much is tlioro In It for mo ? "
Fan-ell's rod hair at once began to pot excited -
cited and Us owner ordered the assessor out
of the oftlco with vigor that prompted Ira-
tncdiato compliance. A few days thereafter
the slip announcing the amount of the
assessment was loft at the ofllco and It was
Just ten times as much as It was hist year.
Farrell has \ld 1 the matter before the
board of equalization and the ease will be
heard next Thursday. In discussing the
matter with another prominent business
man , whoso place of business Is located In
the Third ward , Farrell dutalled these facts
and was told In reply that this business
man had also had trouble with his assess
ment , and had been told by the
representative of a certain powerful
corporation that has occasion to transact
considerable business with this assessor
ovary year that the whole thing could easily
have boon llxed by giving the assessor $25.
The business man declared that ho wasn't
dolnn business that way , and that he would
bo much moro Hablo to give him a swift ,
voluptuous kick where it would do the most
good , than to bribe an otllclal to houostly per
form the duties of his ollluo.
Farrell is considerably o.xcreisod over the
matter , and proposes to push the case before
the commissioners , it may also bo s > tttod in
this connection that the comniissionois are
not very favorably disposed toward this as
sessor , as Ills work all through the Third
ward has been of such a notoriously poor
character , where the interests of the cor
porations aio concerned , that the members
of the board were constrained to openly
criticise it as soon as the books \vcru re
turned.

Kitnnrnl of Cnliliroll Hamilton.
The funeral of the late Caldwell Hamilton
took place from St. Pnilomona's cathedral at
0:80 : yesterday. Father McCarthy celebrated
the mass. Bishop Scanncll delivered an ad
dress upon the diseased , dwelling cuiolly
upon his preparation lor the after-life. Ho
insisted that it was not so much the number
of years through which a person lives that
Justifies a calm and peaceful death as the
acts and characteristics displayed during an
earthly career. The body was interred at
the Holy Sopulohor. The cortege was fol
lowed by a nuraoor of friends of the de
