McKonna's case was hopeless almost from
the stnrt. The wound was an uglv ono nnd
the physlclann saw but llttlo hope of pro
longing his life nnd none of saving it. The
jihyslclans remained with the injured man
nil day Sunday nnd through the night , but

ubsent from the house but a short tlino
when the end camo.
Immediately after bolng informed by Cor
oner Maul of the death of McICenna , Captain
Cortnack had McGynn taken to the county
jail.A
A reporter was allowed to have n moment s
conversation with thu murderer yesterday
afternoon. McOynn was locked In thn big
cage in the west wing of the Jail nnd when
called for by the sheriff stopped slowly out
of his coll.
"McIConna is dead , " wa the first remark
of the sheriff to his prisoner.
' Is that so , well 1 am sorry. Indeed I nm
sorry , " said McOynn ns ho tried to wipe an
Imaginary tear from his right ftyo. Ho was
then nskcd what hu had to say about the
cnsu nnd replied.
"I nm sorry ho is dead ; I still insist that
ho had hold of mo when I shot him. "
Several questions wurn nski'd by both the
nhcrlff nnd the reporter , but McOynn insisted
that ho hud nothing moro to say about the
case.
case.Tho death of McICenna caused consider
able excitement In the north end of town
whom ho resided. Some of the hot headed
neighbors of the deceased were "in favor of
nt once organizing a force to take McOynn

Dr. Impoy , who has had charge of the
case , stntod yesterday that death was caused
by peritonitis.
Post Mortem Kiniiiliinlloii.
Acting in his oftlclal capacity and in ac
cordance with the wish of friends and rela
tives , Coroner Maul ordered a post mortem
nxamlnntlon made. Doctors Soiners , Impoy
and Matthews performed the operation nt U
o'clock last evening. Examination revealed
the fact that the bullet was lodged in the
right thigh , having passed through the
stomach and cut the small intestines in
lovon places.
After the surgeons had finished the post
mortem the body was turned over to ono of
Maul's omlnlmors , and the remains were

About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon Chief
Seavcy received reports from his olllcers in
North Omaha to the effect that an effort
would bo made to Lynch Barney McGyun
last night or early this morning.
Ho called all the police force on duty at 7
o'clock and held them In reserve at the sta
tion. At 7:30 : o'clock a crowd began to
gather on the streets near thu jail.
At thu head of llfty picked men Chief
Scuvoy marched to the jail and placed guarus
nt all thu entrance. ) to thu court , house yard ,
with strict orders not to admit stranger * or
nny ono who had no business there. The
crowds increased so rapidly that hu had to
order twenty more men to clear the four
streets , Ilarnoy , Farnatn , Eighteenth and
Seventeenth , which border thu county build
ing. This , no doubt , proven ten serious
trouble , as crowds were forced to "move on"
as fast as formed.
Sheriff Dennett armed his deputies and
a were in several specials , Ho had attended
a mooting in the Saratoga school ynrds

In making this comparison It would bo well
to cull to mind thu fact that the clearings

nnd the largest of liny month during IH'JJ
excepting only October and Docnmbor , The

The withdrawal of deposits today
at many of the city savings banks
was qulto heavy , and the presidents
pointed to the lines waiting at the
windows as proof of the wisdom of the
action taken on Monday , because without it
the depositors would not have been protected
from the runs which would have followed.
It showed also that all the banks will have
to take advantage of the legal allowance
under the sixty days notice provision. There
was uo excitement , ns in tha case of a run.
Siivlncn llnnkM In Good Condition.
J. Ilarson Khoadca. chalrmanof the execu
tive committee of tiiu savings banks of the
state of Now York , said that ho know that
all the savings banks wcro in good condition ,
as the cash reserves showed , and ho thought
no money would bo drawn from the deposit
banks for a long while. Ho continued :
"You see that the drain that wo have been
experiencing for the last two or three weeks
Is still in force , and it shows how timely and
expedient was our decision. Early in
Juno I said that thu savings banks
wcro In good condition and would probably
soon bo able to return their largo currency
holdings. But from that time on the with
drawals increased slowly , gradually from
day to day , but at no time was there any in
dication of u panicky feeling. Today the
line is the longest wo have had , nnd you sco
how calm overbody Is. There are moro hero
than on interest paying day , but they do not
communicate with ono another and thus
spread no alarm. "
Air. Khoades added that the action of Fri
day was made necessary by the difficulty of
Kottimi unrroiioy from the down town banks.
Ilo said that the savings banks presidents
Had drawn ns little as possible on thu
strained market , but the drafts during the
last week had reached $ . " 0,000 a day , against
ail average of deposits of $15,000.
Seniu'g that this was hurting everybody
itnd that It threatened to niakof .fcfaf
savings banks a constant dralij. jf'prosollt

cjvjyo L.i- iuuusti our policy has been
pl ° 3iiiw as easily as possible on deposit
lanks , wo have plenty of money on hand ,
i'ho amount Is less than the usual cash ro-
orvo ( about two-thirds ) , but Is enough
vith the application of the sixty-day rule to
ivold any further drafts on the general
itoro of currency. "
llouvjr Movumont of Cnrrniicy.
'Iho currency movement was again heavy
.octay , the shipments out of town being esti-
imtod at from $1.750,000 to ? 2,000,000. The
lonund was from Boston and other Now
Onglnnd points , where the need of funds
seems to bo pressing. The bulk of the ship-
nents consisted of coin. From the sub-
treasury nlono $2,001,000 in silver dollars was *
sent by express to the country banks at the
request , of their New York correspondents.
There is a growing disposition among'Now
York bankers to take seine action looking to
n stoppage of the drain. At considerable in
convenience to themselves they have taken
out of the clearing house loan cortillcatcs
ind sent them to their recognized corre
spondents , some of the money being hoardcc
or lent at high rates of Interest nt the ox <
| ) Cii30 of Now York. In consequence , acconv
modatlon was given to the country banks
much less freely today than heretofore.
The executions ever the counter wcro a bout
$100.000 and about $2.10,000vero paid out in
jhecks. Most of this was in coin. From San
Francisco $50,000 was received by tolograplr
Clearing Jiouso loan curtillcatos to tlio
amount of $3'J50,000 were talcen out. Most
of these , it was thought , wcro for use in
facilitating gold imports , which are expected
to roach largo proportions within the next
two weeks. 'The total outstanding issue of
certillcatos hns now reached $ 'J7l > T5OCiO.
This is tlio largest amount ever put into cir

WUonnln I.nlmrern I'rotott Acntnst the
Ktnplojriuimt of ( Nonunion Men ,
Asm.AMi. Wls. , July 31. A crisis ha boon
reached In the lumber shovors' strlko this
mornlne. The strikers openly defied the
olllcors of the city and county , closing with
.hem In a hand-to-hand battle , In which
blood was shed freely.
The Shores Lumber company sent word to
Mayor O'Kcofo that it would commence
oading its boats at noon with nonunion
aborcrs nnd asked for protection. The
mayor sent Chief of Police Schwartz nnd
some oftlccrs to the docks , where they were
nlned by Sheriff O'Brien and deputies.
I'tioy took n stand on the tramway of tno
dock. Work had hardly commenced on iho
dock when a great mob of strikers swarmed
down ever the dock and tramway. The
Foremost of them were forcibly handcuffed
by the odlcors and others wcro arrested ,
who were afterwards rescued from the
police by their followers. A desperate hand-
to-hand contest followjed , in which revolvers
were nourished and sovorarnhots were fired.
The oftlcers wcro nearly nil bruised with
clubs and stones.
The advance on the tramway was finally
chocked , but the strikers then swuntr down
underneath the tramway and made for the
boats , reaching them ahead of the olllcors.
i'horo an awful scene of brutality was en
acted by the violent mob. Nonunion men
who wcro loading the boats wcro struck
down with clubs and terribly beaten ns
they Hod , panic-stricken , followed by thi >
strikers , They were met by the oftlcors ,
who protected them from further violence ,
forty of the ringleaders among the strikers
have been arrested.
E. A. Shores says ho will sue for damages ,
is ho hns lone complained that violence was
imminent. Mayor O'Kcofo's blood Is up.
Ho says the presidents of the lumber
shovors had informed him that no violence
would bo committed. Ho now swears that
the city will protect the nonunion laborers
at any cost.
The mob was composed not only of lumber
shovers , but of coal heavers , ere punchers
and all classes of dock laborers. The mon
have become so Intimidated ttiat It is almost
impossible to got thorn started nt work
again. Mayor O'Keofo is now dolmr his
best to got them to return to work whore ,
ho says , they will bo protected If ho has to
raise an army to do It.

hero murdered his wife and three children
on Saturday night nnd then made an un-
succcssfulvattompt on his own life. The
deed was not discovered until Sunday after
noon at n o'clock , but the news reached hero
this morning. At the inquest Nonomauhcr
made a full confession. Ho said the crops
had failed and ho was nfraid of starv
ing. His parents were in Quebec ,
where they had couio all the way from
Germany and wanted money , and hu had
none to send thorn. Ho had intended to kill
his family Friday night , but changed his
plan t ) Saturday. After the family was
asleep ho wont out and got an ax and re
turned to do the deed. Ho said ho killed his
wife first by three swinging blows on the
loft temple. Ilo then went into the nQXt
room and killed Joseph , 0 J25fS old"and
Willie , 4 years old. HjQ struck both boys on
the heatt . ' ,
twIc&-'ifuYurninj to the room
w'en ' } > hl5.4T liiy , ho picked , up hisyear-
, ii/\by , held her in ono arm and struck
ifer on top of tno head. Ho then
went to the barn , climbed on the roof and
jumped twenty foot to the lloor oftho pig
sty , sustaining injuries to the splno and par
alyzing his lower extremities. Sunday
afternoon Nonomachor's brother's Uttlo
children went over and saw the boys all
bloody on the bed ana ran homo and told
tholr father , who summoned the coroner.
Today the Jury returned a verdict that the
wlfo and children came to tholr , deaths by
an ax in the .hands of William Nonemachor ,
in accordance with his confession.
A visit to the scene of the murder dis
closed a horrible sight. The mother lay on
her left sldo with a gaping wound in the
temple. The baby was in a cradle beside
the bed. The boys were in the bed in the
next room in a pool of blood. The father ,
as hu lay on the lloor of the kitchen para
lyzed , but conscious , without the least sign
of sorrow or regret , talked ns calmly about
the murder as ho would about killing a pig.
After the Inquest the murderer was brought
to town and placed in jail , but may not live
to bo tried. Ho was always kind to his
family and a good citizen , but easily gave
way to despondency.

LONDON , July ni. 'rho regatta of the
Koyal London Yacht club 'took place off
Cowcs , Isle of Wight. The week never
opened with greater eclat and a regatta
never cxcitoil moro lively Interest. The
Solent never before was so crowded
with yachts and launches. The presence
of the Gorman Imperial yacht Hohcnzollcn ,
the United States cruiser Chicago , the Gor
man training ships Stoln and Gnclse-
nau , the British battleship- Neptune
and other vessels of the Kng-
llsh uavy and the International
yacht Victoria , all decorated with flags from
stem to stern , lent a charming brilliancy to
the scone. The bright suushluo and a blue
sky supplied everything needed to complete
the yachtsmen's paradise , The presence of
so many royalties , whom the recently
wedded duke and duchess of York Jolncd
(
during the day , raised society people to the
seventh heaven. Every suitable point
ashore and everything that could float \as
crowded with interested spectators , the
ladles vicing with one another In the brlRht-
ness and novelty of their costumes.
The Interest of most of the spectators
centered chiefly in the Gorman emperor ,
vrhilo the yachtsmen's Interest centered in
the respective performances of the Ameri
can yacht Nav.ihoo and the English
Valkyrie. The former , being still unrated ,
was Jokingly called a "dark horso. "
Vnclitu Hint Stnrtoil.
The boats that took nart in the race were :
Royal Phclps Carroll's Navahoe , Lord
Dunravon's Valkyrie , J. Lason's Ivorna , the
prince of Wales' Britannia , A. B. Clark's
Santa Anita and P. Donald's Caluns.
They made a Hying start. The
Valkyrie , carrying Lord Dunravon and
commanded by the veteran Cranflcld ,
hit the line first , Just as the gun was llrcd at
10 o'clock. Then followed in the order In
which they are named , the Ivorna , the Brit
being centered in the Valkyrie. There was
a nntur.il exultation over the Navahoo's
rather bad start , which , however , gave vray
to somewhat gloomy foreboding when , on
reaching the lightship , the American boat
was seen to bo fast closing up on the Val
kyrie. Experts gazed at the Navahoe with
astonishment and remarked : ' 'Sho must bo
a ripper. " Old salts expressed surprise on
noticing that the NayaHoo had her main sail
stiffened with wooden battens an artlllco
not infrequent with smallcraft , , but unknown
on the Solent , with largo , crack yachts.
Navnlioii Won the , Vlrit lloiiml.
All the racers sot thole spinnakers soon
after the starting. They run thence to tno
lightship. There tbo'Navahoo showed hot
mottle , and before rounding thfl' "LeopTiuoy
she was llrst.JJoy&rthcfess she did not ap
pear 5-stiff as the English vessels. When
ho yachts reappeared in eight at Cowes at
ho end of the first round , the people of the
Valkyrie and Navahqo engaged fn a nock
and nock struggle , exciting surprise. The
first round was watched with intense intor-
ist. The Navahoo finished first.
In running for the Warpy lightship the ,
_ ocoud time , the Britannia and Valkyrie
[ row upon the Navahoo. Soon after round-
ng 'tho lightship , 'the Britannia took first
ilaco and Valkyrlb1 secdnd , leaving the
> f a yahoo in third'placo. Tho'yachts main-
aincd this order to the ond.Tvltording a race
if great , though hardly'exclting , interest.
'llrltannla Won the Rnoe.
The victorious Britannia finished three
cconds ahead of the Valkyrie and one min
ute and twenty-six seconds uhoad of the
Navahoo. She was greeted with cheering ,
the firing of guns , the blowing
of whistles , etc. The Santa Anita
came fourth nnd the Culuns fifth.
I'ho Iverna gave up before the
inish. Theyllmo of the first three yachts is
as follows : Britannia , three hours forty-
six minutes sixteen seconds ; Valkyrie ,
three hours forty-seven minutes nineteen
seconds ; Navahoo , three hours forty-seven
ninutes forty-two seconds.
The wind blowing duripg the day Just en
abled the racing float to carry Jackyard top
sails all round the course. The Navahoo
was tried on all points of sailing and she
came out of the trial in a satisfactory man
ner for a first performance. It is evident
that the Britannia and the Valkyrie will
have their bauds full every time they moot the
Yankee if she can bo improved in the slight
est degree. The Navahoo was the only ono
of the yachts steered with a wheel , which
1.1 held to effect speed dlsadvanlageously in
the running. No doubt the Navahoo , when
measured , -will bo the largest and will have
to give the others tlino.

ought to appreciate Corbott's position. Ho
did not sign with the Cohuy Island Athletic
Club to mootMltohelW/i / > '
It was nearly 11 o'Moclf when time was
called. The first tworrouatls were good ex
hibitions of cautious sparring , Gruon being
very shifty. In the thtril'round ho started
rushing tactics , laYidliife on Smith's
forehead , but Paddy tfb'turnod a hard
ono on thu neck , itlmouhini : Green to
the ropes. Green tlojti again , landing
on Smith's head , und'Jjust ' at this Juncture
the electric lights went'1 out and the referee
parted the men.
After a delay of over half an hour , oil
lamps wcro brought Into uso. The men
came up fresh for the fourth round , which
was another exhibition of cautious sparring.
Toward Its close Smith used his elbow on
Croon's nock , and loud cries of fuul were
hoard. Both lauded heavily Just as the gong
sounded. ,
In the fifth Smith rushed Green around
the ring , but suddenly Green landed his loft
with good effect. Smith did some dirty In
fighting in a clinch nnd the referee warned
him.
In the sixth , after sharp exchanges , Smith
again tried untalr woric and was once moro
warned by the roforoo.
In the seventh , uflor sharp exchanges and
hard in-fighting. Grocn upper cut with good
effect , but Paddy cauio back with a swing
on the neck which staggered Green.
In the eighth Smith landed on Green's
stomach , but Grocn returned a fight nn the
neck , knocking Smith to the ropes ,
In the ninth Ur n landed in Smith's left
lye , raisin ? a lump ; then an itpporout , when
Smith clinched to avoid punishment. Green
seemed weak' Smith butted him and li
warned by the roforeo.
In the tenth and eleventh Smith seemed
lo term In pel to Innd n knockout blow , but hU
swings all fall short. Given lands several
times , but his blows lack force.
In the twelfth , after hard Infighting ,
Green landed heavily on Smith's neck , stag
gering him. In the thirteenth and four-
Loenth there was considerable hot inllghtlng.
liut Green's blows did not seem to count and
Smith had the best of It. In the llftennlh ,
aftor4'shftrp Infighting , Smith knocked Groou
to his knees.
In the sixteenth Green landed hard on
Smith's mouth , swelling I'nddy's lips. In
Iho seventeenth Smith rushed Green , landIng -
Ing n swing on the neck which sent Green to
the ropes. Grocn landed on Smith's nose ,
and is credited with first blood. Green now
seems to bo regaining strength nnd in the
eighteenth and nineteenth rounds landeJ on
Smith's sere nose and uppercut him with
good ofTcct. *
In the twentieth and twenty-first rounds
thcro were several hot exchanges , but no
serious damage. In the twon.yocomt Smith
Irow blood from Greon's noso. In the
twenty-third Green was very aggressive , but
did not Inflict nny punishment on Smith ,
whllo ho got two or three boavy blows him
self.
In the twenty-fourth nnd twenty-fifth
Green rushed Smith around nnd landed some
; oed ones on the nock nnd body. In the
twenty-sixth ho landed ban ! on Smith's oar ,
and in sptto of a sharp return rushed Smith
to the rones and had every thing his own way
at the call of time.
In the twenty-seventh the aspect of affairs
changed. Green was knocked itown by it
swing on the Jaw. Ho got up before ho was
counted out , but Smith knocked him down
rtvo times in succession , Grocn finally clinchIng -
Ing to avoid punlshtnont. This was the hottest -
test round of the fight.
In the twenty-eighth Green came up ap
parently fresh , but Smith landed and
knocked him down. Dclanoy throw up the
sponge , but Green would not quit until
Champion Jim Corbott wont Into the ring
and miulo him stop.

CHICAGO , July 31. President J. W. Koin-
iart of the Santa Fo arrived in Chicago
today from the cast. In speaking of the
goucral railroad situation ho said : "Yes , it
s true that traftlc has fallen off very much
nlcly , but the men in whoso hands the
nnnagumont of the great railroad systems of
the country is , foresaw that many months
igo nnd began to prepare for it
thon. The reduction in expenses in
all directions lists kept pace with
the reduction of traftlo nnd while
. ' ' . ' decreased
rross c-r.nilni'a'irir.j'have largely
n many eases , it will bo found when the
Innl settling comes that the not earnings on
nest of the roads are as largo as they over
lave been. I am decidedly not of the
opinion that there is nny foundation in fact
'or the many rumors that have boon circu-
atod to the elTcot that u general passing of
dividends is to bo expected. As to how
those rumors have been started no respon
sible man would have the courage to say ,
unless ho Is thoroughly familiar with the
real situation in nil Us details , but
they' have probably boon caused by , ,
irresponsible parties , who have sold
other people's property and want
to buy it back nt a lower price than they
paid for it. They have boon started uy moil
who ought to bo in the penitentiary. Oh ,
yes , I im very well aware that the Santa Fo
will follow the Erie into the hands of a re
ceiver , ns reported , but it is with the utmost
contempt that I regard such u report and
with equal irony that I repeat it. Wo will
see whether that party knows moro of the
real condition of this property than its
responsible oniccrs. In my opinion the
present depression will bo short lived. By
Lho end of Septomuor you will see n great
change in the money market , and business
houses will rcsuino their activity. I do not
think there is anything to bo particularly
nlarmed about in the present railroad situa
tion. "
A highly satisfactory statement was pre
sented today of the Milwaukee & St. Paul
road for the month of Juno and for the
liscal year ending Juno : ! 0. It showed the
gross earnings to have been $ 'J,1IT,073.I' ! ! ) for

BESOUI HALL.
A. W. Clark Crltlulavii thn County Coinuils-
Rlonorn for llonnnt Htntnmnntii.
A. W. Clark has wrltlon n lengthy com
munication to Till ! BRK , in which ho criti
cises the county commissioners and Dan C.
Burr for their attitude on the "Kesouo hall"
matter. Mr , Clark says , In part :
"In the first place they seem lo bo utterly
ignorant as to the relationship between Hos-
cue hall and Aisoclated Charities. Kosuuo "
nail is not operated by the Associated Char
ities. Aside from tholr ignorance of the
dllfcronco between the Omaha City mission ,
with headquarters nt Kescno hall , and Asso
ciated Charities , they seem lo bo utterly
Ignorant of the fundamental objects of both
these organizations. What docs nil this
mcani It is simply the old , old story uf
county olllcials opposing organised charities.
"This Is not something now In thu history
of the development of sclentltle charity.
Kvory charity organization has had to con
tend with the Hnino sort of opposition In
nearly every city In the union , and pwhups
wo ouuht not to bo surprised nt such opposi
tion upon the part of our olllcials. At the
same tlmo wo inunt say wo had expected bet
tor things from thorn. I know that the
great majority of the thinking people of
Omaha will not bo influo.iced by siioh criti
cisms , but there are others who are not In
formed nnd may bo led to think that Associ
ated CharltloannU work at Rescue hull tend
lo create pauperism rather than lo reduce
it. I want to say to these that thu Aasociatod
Charities nnd the Omaha City mission have
Ijoen carried forward with this as the
constant , object in view , the suppression of
pauperism as rapidly as possible , When As
sociated Charities of our city begun to work
it was announced ut the Ilmo that Douglas
county should bo saved $10,000 during the
next twelve months , but a larger sum than
110,000 was saved to the county during the
next twelve months , ' '
