LINCOLN , Juno 23. [ Special to TnBjJisn.-- ]
Wanlcu Uocraop of the pcnitontfivnrhas
four convicts on hand ho wnnt to got rid of.
The prison physician says they nro crazy. The
late legislature refused to appropriate any
more money to build cells for caring for the
Insane. The prisoners cannot bo removed
to the asylum tmlesi the governor pardons
them. The governor Is willing lo do so , but
thii Lancaster county Insanity commission
refuses to pass on thorn unless It is assured
It will cot paid for malting the exam
ination. The county commissioners refuse -
fuse to pay the bill for that worlc ,
whllo the state ofllclnts can find no fund on
which to draw for that purpose. And so the
matter rests. Thfl tncn said to bo cray are :
John Taylor , the negro who killed Uob
Woods for * 50 in this city In April , 18VJ ;
Hugh Carroll , the man who shot Judge Bor-
pelt last year while the latter was seated nt
tils desk , bec.uuo of a fancied wrong ; Llsh
Nelson , a young ncoro who shot a policeman
In Hastings , and Martin llakor. srnt up
from Hurt county for shooting with Intent
to kill. Taylor is u llfo convict , Carroll lor
twelve years , Nelson for twenty and Unlcur
for four.

Judno Strode this afternoon overruled the
motion for a now trial for fiorham F. Belts ,
the first of the asylum boodlurs trkd and
convicted of defrauding tlio state. The
motion was based on a number of technical
points. moMt of which were raised during
the trial of the case and passed upon by the
court , uno being that the Indictment did not
charge where the olTonso was committed.
The case will bo taken to the supreme court
on error. Belts will probably bo sentenced
tomorrow.
Another Ktcctlon Conteit.
The trial of' the election contest Inaugu
rated by A. 1C. Hnrgroaves for the seat now
warmed by A. D. Burr , exciseman , was
begun before Judge Lansing In county court
this morning. There was no argument and
the purity of the ballots was not impugned ,
but a representative of the two parties to
the case and the court repaired to a sldo
room , where the recount was. begun. On
the face of the returns Burr was elected by
twenty-two votes , but Hargrcaves contests
on the ground of a number or Irregularities.
The count of the First precinct of the
First ward gave Burr a gain of four
and a loss of ono for Hnrereaves.
There were thirteen disputed ballots In the
precinct , and It will probably depend on the
count of these to determine who Is elected.
At the close today thirteen precincts had
boon canvassed with but slight changes.
Shall They Ho Cumitud.
The school bond Injunction case was up
before the thrco district judges again this
morning , and the recount of the ballots pro
ceeded with. There were 280 blank votes
found In the returns from the precincts ,
and upon thcso30 votes hinges the result
of the election. If counted ngaii.st the bonds ,
as the applicants far atx Injunction contend ,
it will defeat the proposition , as adding that
number to ino total vote the majority in
favor of the bonds will lack some llfty votes
of the necessary two-thirds.

DEMOCRATS ON HAND HUNGRY FOR OFFICE
Now Collector of Itoventio TclU of lilt
1'lntift tl Nnmod Two Deputies nnd
Will Sco thnt Democrat * 1111 the
Other Vacancies.
"Is Mr. James North In the house ? " Is the
question that has bocn pissed over the
registering desk at the Paxton hotel , times
without number , during the last few days ,
and until yesterday morning It was answered
in the negative to the tovldcut dlsaupolnt-
tnont of the Interrogators.
The face of the day clerK wns Irradiated
yesterday morning with an Inwnrd light ns ho
gracefully said : ' -Yes , sir ; Mr. North Is In , "
"Mr. North has nrrlvod , " etc. , to the stream
of place hunters and political friends that
called to see the now collector of Intnrnal
revenue. It was wltfi some dtflloulty
that Mr. North nianiiceil to snatch
time enough from the numerous engagements
thnt were thrust upon htm to oat his meals
but ho maintained n pleasing nnd un-
milled exterior nevertheless. Manager
ToburllnRton Castor of Lincoln was uUo at
the Paxton nnd with hU able assistance the
throng of callers of high nnd low degree
were nearly all permitted to pour out their
songs niui unbosom their anxieties in n man
ner supposed to accomplish the desired
results.
It Is dolliiltcly decided that Mr. North will
take charge of the revenue ofllco for the dis
trict of Nebraska nnd the two Dakotas on
next Friday ovenlnjr and of course It behooves -
hooves these who nro desirous of scouring
positions In the oftlco or us deputies to travel
ever the district to irmko hay whllo vacan
cies remain.
I'lnns or the Now Collector.
"I will take charge of the ofllco next Fri
day , " said Mr. North to n BEE reporter yes
terday morning , ' 'but I have not yet made up
my list of deputies or my olllco help. I tnny say
that I have practically decided on ono of my
deputies , but of course It would bo out of
place for mo to make any announcement of
that kind before taking charge of the oftlco.
It Is altogether probiblo , though , that T. B.
Parker of Dorchester will bo nppolntcd ns
n deputy to take charge of the district com
posed of Otoo , L-mcastcr. Saline , Butler ,
York , Clay and Filmoro counties.
"There is a matter with regard to the redistricting -
districting of the state that may compel mete
to delay to the last minute the appointment
of my deputies. I have been given to un
derstand that the Treasury department con
templated cutting down the number of dis
tricts , giving Nebraska 0 } < f , South Dakota
\ % and North Dakota L If this is done
I shall have ono deputy loss than
Captain Peters had and thcro will
necessarily hnvo to bo a consolidation of
counties in some of the districts. I want to
know Just how the matter Is going to roniain
before I make any appointments of Hold
deputies. It Is probable that the department
will Inform mo as to the adjustment of the
business before Friday evening. "
"Havo you decided upon the ofllco help
you will employ ? "
"Not entirely. My son will tnko a position
in the ofllco and ultimately will become my
chief deputy. Ho has had a good deal of
experience in oftlco work , having been en
gaged in business for n mlmber of years , and
ho nold a position in the United States
land ofiico during Cleveland's first
administration. 1 know of no ono
who can represent mo quite so well In n posi
tion of great responsibility as my son. There
is but ono diftlculty in this connection , and
that Is that his health is not .very good , but
I hope no will bo able to do the work devolv
ing upon him. "
"Is it true that you intend to retain Mr.
Dennis for some tlmo ? "
"I will not say ns to how long I shall
retain any of the present force of ofllco help.
I do not know. I am not acquainted with
Mr. Dennis and have no absolute knowledge
as to the necessity of retaining him anymore
moro than nny one olso. 1 Intend to look
Into the business of the olllco some today
and then I shall probably know more
about it. "
Castor YCnnti a Clean Sircnp.
When Mr. Tobias Castor gets loft in the
appointment of hh friends to fcdernl posi
tions it Is not on account of his Inactivity or
want of earnest work in the matter. Ho has
undoubtedly scored ono point in the appoint
ment of deputy collectors , for Mr. Parker of
Dorchester is his especial friend.
' I have asked Mr. North to appoint but
ono man , " said , Mr. Casto.- THE BEE man ,
"nnd I think ho will bo appointed. That
man is T. B. Parker of Dorchester. "
"How long do you think.Mr. . . North will
retain the present ofllco force ? "
"I cannot speak for Mr. North , " was the
modest reply , "but it Is my opinion that
there will be a clean sweep just as soon as it
is possible to do it. Aa I understand it , this
is a democratic administration , and I sea no
reason why republican employes should bo
retained any longer than Is absolutely neces
sary in any of the positions. "
Speaking of the ilt ht that Congressman
Bryan began on Mr. North , the railroad
statesman said : "I always looked nt that
matter as being a sort of by-play on the part
of Bryan simply to attract the attention of
the Independents. It was not so much a
case of hating Mr. North but of love for tno
independents that inspired Mr. Bryan to
make that attack , With the appointment
of Mr. North , ot course , the attack died
out. "
Among the faithful who congregated at
the Paxton to offer ndvlco to the now
collector were : Colnnol Frank P. Ir-
land of Nebraska , City , U. W. Poole of
Tecumjoh , A. Hardy of Beatrice , Hon. W. A.
Paxton , Hon. John A. McShano , Dr. George
L. Miller nnd Euclid Martin.
Some ot the Office I'.irco Nominated.
It was stated last evening that It had been
practically agreed upon that thrco of the ap
pointees for this division of the revenue dis
trict would bo found in the persons of Louis
Helmrod , ox-stato oil Inspector ; Peter
O'Mulloy , ex-county clerk , nnd Patrick
Lynch , ex-county jailor. As the news spread
among the representatives of the nntl-Boyd
faction of democracy , who huuntcd the Pux-
ton , there was an abundance of reviling nnd
gnash ing of teeth.
"Thought ho was going to try to harmon
ize the opposing factions In this county , "
growled ono of the disaffected ones. "This
looks like It , don't it ? If our side Is to bo
recognized at nil , It will have to bo In the
appointment of the other two , for these
ttiroo nte nil Boyd man , ovary mother's son
of them. North's capital H means h 1 In
stead of harmony every time.
Ono bolder than the rest possessed the
necessary nerve to remonstrate with the
collector against the appointment of Holm-
rod , nnd was coolly informed that the ap
pointment was demanded by the Gorman
democrats In n body , nnd it would have to
stand.
Homo Medicine for the Martlnltoa.
Still another bitter pill for the nntl-Boyd-
lies was the news from Washington of the
appointment of P. A. Grlnlth of Kearney as
register of the land ofllco at Sidney
In place of George F. Dlnnchnrd , The ap
pointment was made on the recommendation
of Juan Boyle of Kearney and ox-Governor
Boyd , and this evidence of favor with the
administration was additional gall and
wormwood to the Morton-Mnrtlnltes.
John M. Adams , who has been appointed
receiver at the Sidney land ofllco vice , M. M.
Neovcs , resides nt that place , nnd held the
sumo position during Cleveland's jirst term.
J , W. Ferguson of Mlnden , who has been

PAYING OLD SCORES.
City Treasurer Culled Upon to Take Up
Boino Outfilandlni : UrailliiR Wnrruiit * .
At the present tlmo the Roncr.il fund of
the city Is suffering n draft to malto up de
ficits in several grading districts , which
were graded In 1887 and 1SS8. Tuesday night
the council instructed the comptroller to
issue warrants against the grading fund to
enable the treasurer to take up two grading
warrants of 1887. The special assessment
/or doing the work foil short of the cost ,
thus leaving a deficit in both districts. Ono
was Twenty-fourth street from Seward to
the old city limits with a deficit of fJ. 3 and
the other Thirtieth street from Center to
Newton with a deficit of $7."i.83. There nro
more of them in the saino condition to follow.
Treasurer Dolln says the deficits are duo
to the fact that previous to 1891 the treas
urer was allowed 2 per cent for the collec
tion of delinquent taxes and that when the
engineer mndo his estimate of the cost of
the work and the contract was entered intone
no allowance was made for any failure of
the property owners to pay tholr t'axos
promptly. No such contingency will arise
now , however , as a penalty of 1 per cent a
month is levied for delinquency , and the
treasurer does not rocclvo a per cent for the
collection of taxes ,
