Unusually
ttio Douglas county races commence on
Tuesday afternoon next , the fair opunlng on
Monday. The race program will include
four days , Tuesday , Wedncsuay , Thursday
nnd Friday , ana gives every promise of being
ono of tbo most Interesting and successful
meetings over hold bore. The Klnnoy
brothers are working dally upon the track
nnd by Monday expect to have It In liner
condltldn than over. This Is saying n good
deal \vhon the fact Is taken into considera
tion that it Is ono of the best and fastest
tracks in America und always kept in u high
order of form.
Omaha has already had two trotting ses
sions this year , the Itoadster club's famous
meeting nnd that iof the State Breeders as-
( Delation , both of which , from tlio stand
point of flno racing , were bljr successes , and
will bo bard to surpass In general excellence.
The Hold of grand horses that
wjll bo present next week lends
lo the belief , however , that the
coming mooting will bo the mooting of the
season. The entry list Is nn Immense ono ,
nnd while It Includes 'most all of the cele
brated llyors that took part In the two con
tests mentioned , there uro many moro that
will bo entirely now to the lovers ot the
turf bore. There are but few horses of any
nbto that are not entered , that Is. from the
western country , and those from n distance
nro both numerous nnd noted. Secretary
Eqgclmunn says that such another
field of horses wns never soon hero
before nnd predicts a huiro attendance to
witness the sport. Ho lias1' boon working
hard along with the balance of the board
nnd all nro congratulntlug themselves on the
prospect of reaping an abundant reward for
their labor. There will bo three events each
day , including ono funning 'lumber , and so
admirably has been cacti dny's card ar
ranged that horsemen nnd horse lovers gen
erally have u grand fund of exciting sport
awaiting them ,
The 2:10 trot on Thursday will as
suredly bo an event that will
nrouso a vast amount of cnthutsiasin
season , ns will the 2i : ! ! ) trot Wednesday and
the free-for-all imco Friday. The horses that
will coin | > oto for the moneys in these events
nro nil animals of renown tind a big field is
sure to ho sent off each dai' . The railroads
have all in.ulo special rates and the chances
nro excellent for some very largo crowds.
There U ono tiling that the management
should bo careful to attend to and that is
that none but competent judges , gentlemen
familiar with trotting rules and regulations ,
nro put In the stand. Incompetent _ and
Ignorant ofilcials in this line are sure to'ruin
the best of races , and as long as there are
plenty of nblo men to bo had the manage
ment should make no mistake in their
selections.

Nnwi'oiiT , K. I. , Aug. 30. H. D. Wrcnn Is
lawn tennis champion of the United States ,
ho having today defeated Fred II. ilovoy in
the presence of a great crowd of people.
In the lirst sot the deciding feature was
lobbing , and Wrcnn was rather better than
Ilovoy. 'iho latter did not succeed in passIng -
Ing Wrcnn often enough , and Wrenn lobbed ;
well out of his reach. Up to four , all the
games ran alternately , and yet Ono could see
that U'renn's ' lobbing wus to decide the set.
This proved to bo the case , for Wrenn took )
the ninth una tenth easy. First sot : Hovey ,
4 ; Wrenn , 0.
The second set wus marked by different
tnetics. Ilovoy begun to lob well himself ,
but he gained chiefly by passing Wrcnn at the
not by drives down the
side lines. Wronn
did not lob so accurately. Then Ilavcy
began to play better and Wrcnn was passed
again und again , although ho made frantic
endeavors to lob. Second spt : Hovey , 0 ;
Wrcnu , a.
The third sot batter
was contested than
either of tlio others. Hovey , after getting inn.
good lead of12 Oy playinc all around Wrenn.
fell off badly in his nlay. Wrenn kept up n.a
stiff game. Ilovoy. 4 ; Wrenn. 0. .
With the score two sets to one against
him , Ilovoy played desperately to win , but
Wrenn's slow lobbing was aggravating in
the extreme , Ilovoy would try to lob , but
ho lucked accuracy. Fourth sot : Hovey ;
W'onn , 0.
This match makes Wrenn the champion of
the United States. The result Is n great
surprise and n atn
disappointment moro than
anything olso. This is Clarence Hobart's ;
and Fred Hovey's last 'sa
year at tennis tourna
ments , and It was hoped that ono or other
would take the championship this year , for
Wrenn has a longer future before him.

tor for County Juilcc.
From the beginning of tlmo nnd until t-
d.iy some , nt least , of the common people
have now and then found their way Into
conventions. Yosteiday afternoon , however ,
the record was broken nnd nil precedents
were sot aside , for there was a convention
whore common people had no part- ana
nil of the participants wore thu followers of
the teachings of the loaraed and lamented
iilackstono.
Smno weeks ngo a number of the lawyers
of this district got together and issued n
call for a convention to recommend
the names of thrco candidates for the
thrco vacancies upon the district bench ,
the call stating that the meeting was
lo ua : i nonpartisan nffnir nnd that the
nominees would hnvo to bo of the best
timber , regardless of political faith or"early
condition of servitude.
Acting in accordance with the request
made In the call some UOO of the legal lights
of Douglas , Washington , Burl and Sarpy
counties assembled In court rom No. 1 at 'J
o'clock yesterday afternoon , that'thcy might
name their leaders for the November politi
cal race. <
W. Ji Clalr was the first IJlackstonlan to
arrive , and ho was soon followed by Jesse
D.ivis of Ulair. a man who has worked in the
legal traces /or years aim who bill "always
insisted upon having only good men on the
bpnch.
A few moments later Judge Covell , Ed
Slmetnl. Judge Ambrose and a smiad of
other. * filed in and took chairs In the p.iniuot.
Judge Doano came later , and after looking
the crowd over smiled and said that ifwus
well , and that ho was happy to meet on a
level with such nn honest looking lot of
men ,
The hands of the clock kept moving iilonsc
until Ed Slmeral rapped on thu table nnd
nominated Judge Doano for chairman.
> 1inlio I > : uiu In tlio Klmlr.
Upon the veto boimr taken the judge was
olecti-d by a unanimous vote and after being
escorted to the chair , ho stated
the object of the meeting , saying that ho
hoped the meeting would act wisely and
select thrco good and able mon. The bar of
the district had decided upon a non-partiran
judiciary in order that the bench might bo
separated ns far as possible faom politics.
Will Kodlck was nominated nnd elected
secretary of the meeting.
Charles Offutt offered a resolution In
which the thanks of tbo bar were given to
Judges Ogden and D.ivh , both ot whom are
about to resign. The sections of the resolu
tion dwelt upon the able manner in which
tlio two gentlemen hud conducted
the court business. Another resolution rec
ommended the selection of Judge Walton ,
who was appointed to till a vacancy. Both
resolutions were unanimously adopted , but
ono man voting against Judge Walton.
V. O. Strickler offered a resolution that
the republican , democratic and Independent
party be rccogni/.ed.
Charles Greena moved that his words ,
"people's party" bo stricken out.
Air. Offutt said that the convention know
no party ; it had jiot convened to nominate a
democrat , nn independent nor a republie.ui.
Tlio object of the convention was to select
men , not politicians nor party loaders. At
the the conclusion of his remarks Air. Offutt
moved to tablu the resolution.
I'llUU-nl Killtli , Ignored.
Mr. Strickler urged that since the last bar
convention the situation hail changed , and
tliat instead of being two , there were thi'ce
parties , all of which should bo treated alike.
The party , ho said , had fully 0,000 votes In
the district , most of which would follow the
action of tlio convention if fairness was
shown.
Tlio motion to lay on the table prevailed.
F. A. Brotran introduced a resolution that
the convention proceed tolho selection of two
candidates for the judicial bench and that
the election bo by ballot.
T. J. Alahonoy offered an amendment that
both of the candidates should not both be
long to the same parti' .
I j. W. Patrick was of the opinion that both
of the nominees should bo democrats.
W. J. Clair thought that ityoiilit bo unwise -
wise to nominate either two democrats nr
two republicans. What was wanted wus
able men , ono from each party.
W. D. MeHuch said that tlio convention
was not to consider political parties or fac
tions ; it was called and had convened be
cause the members thought that it wus c.ip-
able of selecting better mon than the politi :
cal conventions.
Air. Bropan said that ho would accept , the
amendment. 10b
Air. Aluhonoy , In speaking upon the sub
ject of n nonpurtisnn judiciary , said that bif
the meeting saw fit to nominate both of the
candidates from the republican or from the
independent party be would do all in Ins
power to secure their nomination , providing
lie could get Into the democratic judicial
convention , and the nominees were good and
capable men , Thn announcement was greeted
with wild and uproarous cheers.
John O. Yeiser moved that
the convention select four instead
of two candidates , saying that It was un
wise to tie the convention down to only two
candidates. There should bo enough candi
dates presented to give the convention II111
option.
The amendment was lost nnd then the
rrsolution was adopted.
W. S. Shoemaker , in a lengthy speech , ar

The councilm ili coinmltteo appointed to
investigate the < /liarges / , of favoritism against
the street commissioner's department met
last evening In committee room A in the
city ball anil _ hoard the testimony
of a few moro witnesses. Street Commis
sioner BalcomU ) iwas present and took a
hand in the qiieJUjmiug.
A communication from the Central Labor
union was rcadasking that the state eight-
hour law bo enforced by the street commis
sioner , the day to .begin when the men re
ported at the tool hiiuso anrt end with the
stopping of work. , The communication wus
temporarily laid on1 the table.
J. H. North , an expressman living at 1 , " > 07
Webster street , was the first witness called.
Ho is working undef the man who took Sub-
foreman Penny's-'place. Ho- thought the
man wqre workqddbv'.Pcnuy harder than by
regular contraclitJOilnd 'hail ' heard Foreman
Kent tell Poqp.i > > "Shako 'cm up. - If you
c.i'i't got a sweaUlj'em I can. "
Ho thought the worK1 was systematically
done by Penny , nnd well ilonp. Tlio men
were rushed harder by Penny than by tlio
man who had succeeded him. but the wit
ness attributed this tn the instructions
Penny received [ from Kunt. The wit
ness took the place of Peterson
when the latter played out on the dump.
Ho was satislled that Peterson' was su-ong
enough to kill any two men in Omaha at
steady shoveling. Major Bilcombo wus al
lowed to cross-examine the witness
und brought out the fact thut
the men now get to their work
as late und leave as early as they did under
Winspoar in Mny.
W. W. Daniels , a teamster living at
Eleventh and Dorcas , was next caliod. Ho
had worked three months for the city , but
was laid off ten days ago. Ho was laid
oil without cause , for the alleged rea
son of giving some ony else a chance.
A married man named Dugan , who owned
live teams and a 100-acro larni , was put to
work in his placo. The men in his gang
worked hard , but bo drove team and could
not say whether they were ovcrworiced.
Mr. Howell called attention to the fact
that Kingbory had testified that ho was laid
off to give Dngan a job , and Daniels said lie
was not positive whether ho and Kingbcry
were laid off at the sumo time or not and
was not sure how jobs were arranged after
ho loft.
Major Balcombo wanted to know If the
street commissioner and his foreman were
not to have the privilege of laying off men
and hiring others , especially in timt-.s like
the present when men were crying for a
chance to earn their dally bread.
Munro insisted thnt-tho men had a right
to bo hoard if they had u grievance , and that
laboring men had rights that some ono was
bound to rospcct.
' 'That Is all right for the galleries , " said
Balcombo , "lot U go for what it is worth. "
O. M. Henry , 1003 North Twenty-fourth
street , reiterated the story of hard work ,
and told of seeing Foronmn Kent wliou ho
"had either boon drinking urotty good or
wa pretty much out of sorts with the
work. " Ho had seen men discharged and
others not as good put on. Some o ( the ills-
charged mon were not good workers and
others were pretty fair.
Attorney Cornish demanded to Know the
witness' grievance unit the latter said that
the men were worked too hard.
John Hoffman , 1224 South Fourteenth
street , has been 3n the city's employ for
the last year and n half. Ho is u sub-
fornman and testillod that Foreman Kent
told him to have the mon on the work nt 7
o'clock and stay until U , and keep thorn at
work , Homo of hls-mon had given out under
the crowding , and < ICcnt had tola him that
them were plenty or other men to take their >
places If thoy.gave out. Kent hud
told him that no hud watched the
men when they did not know bo
wus there , and tlioy'woro not doing enough. k
Two men had boon laid off without excuse
und three put oiu-- lie thought it was al
most necessary tQ Uavo ten hours work if
paid 17 } cents an ' uour , ns the city would
imvo hiird work'to" get men unless they
could work enough tp make a uvfng.
Chairman C. J ? itebcr of the CO
coinmltteo of the 'Central Labor on
questioned Ponnyv who told him that
when Kent woato to work there were
twenty-six unioihotncn in the employ
of tlio city , and now thcro are but four. Ho
also said Kent had been drunk whllo on duty. ; "
Hoffman said unlouund , nonunion men were
discharged , and duri't ) know whether Kent
know they were trnlin men or not.
Penny was piib'un ' the stand for Kent's
satisfaction. Konlt/sald there were but
twenty-seven mctl turned over to him , and
wan'ed to know if they were all union mon
but one. Penny concluded that ho didn't
know , but was certain that twenty-six union
mon had been in the city's employ at some
time or other ,
Major Bulcombo said bo know nothing
about union mon or nonunion mon , and bo
wan cortaln that it had nothing to do with
the discharge of any of the mon ,
The major was then sworn , and in reply i
to a question as to his interpretation of the
charter relative to the employment of men ,
said ho thought that the rules of
business and common tense should
apply to the hiring and discharge
of mon , in that sober , industrious ,
able mon might bo employed , BO ai to give
the taxpayers the value of their mouuy.
This vra the first be bad hoard of ( ho union
mutter , and ho had instructed tbo foreman
not to recognize any nationality , creed , color '
or organization , but to proceed tololy along
business llnei.

Her Story.
Pleadings In tlio suit of Anna C. MoGnckln
ng.ilnst Daniel U McGuckln will bo filed
with the clerk of tliu court today. Tlio ob
ject of tills suit Is to establish a
common law marrlaifo ami brings to light a
skeleton hi the clusot ot ouo of the best
kiibwacltlzons of Omnha an it South Omaha.
Mv. MeQuekln was at ono tlmo a
councilman In this city and lias
taken moro or loss lutorost la poll ,
tics. When South Onmlm began to boom
ho was very fortunate and acoumulatod a
considerable amount of thU world's poods.
Ho Is now the proprietor of a hotel In South
Onmlm and owns n largo amount of prop
crty there.
In January , 18SO , the plaintiff says she
was u cook In Major Stanton's family nt
Fort Omaha. She was then 23 years of ago
nnd married , She had loft bur husband
in Now Jersey on account of alleged
cruel treatment. It was then that she mot
Daniel L. McGuckin , who owned a saloon on
Eleventh and Ilarnoy streets In Omaha. Ho
uocamo much Impressed with her and
wanted to visit her as a lovor. She refused ,
telling him she was married. Ho Insisted
nnd In order to escape his Importunities she
loft her position and wont to Oakland , Nob. ,
Ho followed her and persisted in his atten
tions so ardently that she began
proceedings for divorce from her
husband In Now Jersey upon McGuckln's
advice and ho paid all the costs of the trial ,
which took jiliico In Tekamab , Nob. She
was granted a decree and come to Omaha to
keep house for McGuckin.
I'rrparcil for tlio Ctrnmnny.
She says they were engaged to bo married
and the ring and trousseau were purchased ,
Upon the urgent solicitation of McGuckin
the pair lived together as man and wife
with the understanding that they
were soon to wed. After some
time the plaintiff Insisted upon
the nuptial ceremony being performed.
Then McGuckin is alleged to have claimed
that ho had n wife and children
living in the cast. He claimed
ho would get a divorce from
his wife as soon as lie had good grounds for
the same. Ho is alleged to have secured n
divorce In July , 1830 in the Douglas county
courts.
Them nealn did the plaintiff insist that the
belated nuptial knot no tied. She alleges
that ho said that such a proceeding was not
necessary , ns their living together consti
tuted a common law marriage. She
said oho was ashamed to let any
of her friends or relatives know of
their true relationship and that Daniel told
her to tell the people that they had
been married in Blair , Nob. ,
on their way lo Omaha from
Tokamah. She followed his instructions
and continued to live with him as his wife ,
and ho introduced her as such to all his
friends , They believed thus until a short
Fiitlior of Fivn Children ,
Five children were born to them , as fol
lows : Edward D. , in March , 18SI ; William ,
deceased , in February , ISS'J ; William ,
May , 1885 ; Frankie , December , 1887 ;
Joseph Carl , February , IS'JO. Those children
were baptized , or christened in the Catholic
church ns being born in lawful wedlock ;
When they went to living together ns man
and wife the defendant hail but small means.
Through the frugality of the plain
tiff ho wus enabled to accumulate
money und property until ho is
now a wealthy man and the
plaintiff sets forth that she is cnMtlcd to the
same interest as any wifo. In 18&i she went
to Cuming county und managed and
run his farm for him In u profitable manner ,
while lie remained In Omaha. Ho
frequently took bis friends out to
tils farm and introduced them
to her as his wife. In 18S15 she moved back
to Omaha ut bis request and lived with him
at their homo nt Twenty-eighth und Doclgo
streets for two years. Then ho purchased
property in South Omaha and built a largo
hotel. They moved into the hotel nnd sh
acted nnd wns acknowledged ns his wife before -
fore their guests.
About two years ago the defendant Is al
leged to have bo un treating plaintiff
with great cruelty and neglect und
in the spring of this year she
alleges that ho falsely represented
to tjher that ho had sold his hotel tea
a man named Donahue. Don .lime served
a notice on hur to vacate tlio premises
and McGuckin told her to go to Council
Bluffs nnd rent a house. Sbo did so ,
und then discovered that her husband was
playing her false nnd hud not sold out ,
but had put up this job to got rid of
hor. She sought legal advice and
McGuckin got her to go with him to 1o
attorney. Ho caused a paper to bo
drawn up , which , ho said , would grant
her a divorce without any publicity or
scandal. She signed the paper nnd he gave
her a roll of bills saying it would como
in handy when she needed It ,
She was informal that tills paper
would bo lllcd in the court. She offered to
return the money , but ho refused to accept
It , and had her removed to Council Bluffs ,
whore she now resjdos.
Hut III tliu Cold World.
She Is now informed that tlio defendant
has alleged that she is not nor over has been
Ins wife uno : that she is not entitled to
support or dower ns such , She
claims that the paper which
ho Induced her to sign is a rcllnquialimcnt of
all her rights , and her signature was ob
tained falsely.
Mrs. McGuckin now asks tlio court to
establish the validity of her marriage with
Daniel U McGuckin and that tlio dotcndnnt
bo compelled to contribute toward bur sup
port.Local
Local opinion Is to the effect that the suit
will create a sensation in South Omaha und
this city , as it was not known
that there was any trouble
between McUuckln. and his wifo. It is suid
that the future welfare of her children
prompted Mrs. McGuckin to begin thu suit.

George Francis Train talked to another
light house lust night at Boyd's. It was
understood that the Board of Education

"Mayor Bomls occupied n sent on the stage.
George Francis' remarks were rather dlf
fuse ns regnrds subject matter. Somehow
or other , at nil early stage of his lecture , he
drifted into the subject of the use of I'.ng
lish , and sot forth that out of 100 families it
the state of Nebraska not one , in three generations
orations , would make use of moro than "ft
words , Shakespeare , ho said , in 'nil bis
works , made use of but 0,000 words , and Mil
ton availed himself of only 11,000.
The Citizen then drew upon a blackboan

fame , " ihowing where Ralph Waldo ICinor
son , whom ho eulogized as the grontcut man
of lil tlmo , had only reached half way tr
the top , whllo George Fjnncls Train wa
born at the top.
"I organized the whole railroad system
west of the Mississippi river , " said Goorp
Francis , "but there are lots of people wh
don't appreciate It. "
After discussing all sorts of subject * Mr It
Train called for a vote on tbo proposition tc

printer. ' Among other tilings ho sayst "Tho
quarterly payments due July 1,1MKI , October

duce our present balance and the nmoiir.t re
ceived from October collections so us to ren
der the first payment of salary tothoTwenty-
llfth general nssombly when duo extremely
doubtful , nnd unless the legislature so amends
the law that quarterly payments to state In
stitutions will fall due thirty days later than '
now , there will not b ' sufficient revenue on
hand April 1 , 1 SSI I , to pay their warrants
whim presented. No doubt this will sur
prise tlioso persons who have no other
menus of acquiring n knowledge of the
facts except as read In the newspaper re
ports of the quarterly settlements. Tlicso
settlements ns directed by law are generally
made when the treasury Is at Its best , and
whllo true as to facts , are deceptive because
they do not present to the public the state's
obligations then duo.
'Again tlio Twenty-second and tbo
Twenty-third general assemblies reduced
the state levy > < f mill , which caused a loss In
revenue received from counties during the
last biennial porlod of Mlll.20J.2J. This loss
was partially reimbursed by the Increased
payments of fl)7ltS.i-l ) ) ! , or u not loss from all
sources of 511)4,001 ) SS for tliu bionni.ll porlod.
'I ho liiL.i'C.iaj In real estate iissc.ssinunls In
the stale for IS'jy and 1S'I ' ) will , In my opin
ion , add to the gross amount of , ,
revenue sufficient to moot the do- f t
maiuU of the increased current
expenses J \
und no more , and I suggest 11 the governor f
that recommendations bo made to 1)10 )
twoiity-llfth general nssombly ns follows : J '
First , amend tlio law so that paymentsto . * .
the state institutions will ho payable thirty
days later than now. Second , that the yt
mill levi bo agiiin restored , unless the law
is so amended us to m.iko full value assess
ments in fiu-t. Third , that no appropria
tions bo made in nntieipation of the In
creased levy until the twenty-sixth general
assembly meets. All the Incro.iso that will
be realized in the collections of IMO will be
needed to clour up the then outstanding
warrants , unless appropriations for state in
stitutions already in opcr.itlon are lower
than in the past , and that I regard as very
poor kind of economy. "
