Nov. 2. [ Special Telegram to
Tim linn. ] The district court undertook to
tncddlo with Charles Moshcr today , and
from present indications the district court
got the worst of it. Ever since the Capital
National bank was looted a year ago , Attor
ney UC. Burr of this city has made strenuous
efforts to secure Mother's testimony upon
important matters. Mr. Burr has never had
an opportunity to pet hold of Moshcr until
the latter was removed from the Douglas
county Jail and brought to this city about a
week ago
Last evenlns .Tudpo Tlbbetts issued an
order commanding Sheriff McClay to bring
Moshcr into court to submit to an examina
tion upon the point as to whether ho had
over received any money from the transfer
of his property to D. E. Thompson , when the
transfer was made , oto. The notice was
served upon Moshcr this morning and biter
In the forenoon ho was taken boforc Judge
Tlbbetts. lie was taken to the Judge's
private ofllce. His attorney didn't show up
and Mosher said it did not make any differ
ence to him whether Whedon was thuro or
not. Then Judge Tibbetts directed Moaher
to hold up his right hand and bo sworn.
Iiloshcr simply smiled a refusal. Then , at
the Judge's suirgttsllon. Lawyer Burr pro
ceeded with tha examination without the for
mality of nn oath. The examination resembled
nothing cldu so much as ono end of. a tele
phonic conversation. Burr put the question ,
but Mosher answered never a word. Ho
slmpl v smiled. Finally the lawyer cave up
hU end of the examination and Judge Tibbetts
riionmilticd Moshcr to the deputy sheriff's
charge for contempt of court. At this junc
ture .Moshcr smiled again.
Now the Lincoln pcopla ara anxiously
awaiting daveloumenU. Masher's attorney ,
G. \Vhcdou. . threatens to have the deputy
sheriff , who has Moshcr in charge , taken
before Judge Dundy to nnswer for contempt

saulted by tbo editor of a local paper , Not
withstanding Air. Livingston is almost old
enough to be the father of the editor , tbo
way ho bad of polishing him oft didn't
bother nlrn a little bit. The rumpus was
precipitated by Mr. Livingston-reading the
riot act to thu cnief engineer of the thought
foundry on account of the paper's sudden
flop from a nonpartisun position to one ot
semi-democracy. The naper has weathered
thu storms of two winters and when
started the publishers gave it out
cold that politics would ba elimi
nated from its columns. Therefore ,
last week when the sheet came out with one
page devoted almost entirely to political
matter rehashed from an Omaha Journal it
didn't sot well with Mr. Livingston und ho
eaid so. However , the colonel was not Jug-
bandied and indignant because the paper

BEB. ] Further investigation as to the
origin of the fire that destroyed the High
scliool building last night loads to more con
clusive evidence that it was incendiary.
There were fires in the stoves in the morn
ing , but all of them were out by noon. The
idea of combustion of explosives was thrown
aside as soon as it was learned that the
laboratory was in the opposite end of the
buildings in which the tire started and from ,
which the case containing all the chemicals
that were m tno building was removed
before the fire reached it. Those early at
the fire discovered an open window at the
east end of the building. The staudpipe
WHS empty to be repaired : it was the first
time it bad been empty since the construc
tion of tliu system , which , too , muit have
appeared to the mind of tbo lira fiend as

slight that water could not be thrown Into

WASIUXOTON , Nov. 2. }
Attorney General Olncy's attention was
today called by TUB BBK correspondent to
the Moshcr scandal at the county Jail. In
volving the onicLal conduct of Sheriff Ben-
nott. The attorney general indicated by
his manner more than by his words tnat his
patience was about at an end respecting this
affair and that If District Attorney Baker
and the court do not take proper action the
Department of Justice -will assume the re
sponsibility and see that proper action Is
had instantly. The attorney troneral stated
that ho did not ordinarily suffer himself to
bo Interviewed for a newspaper ; that his
office was a Judiciary ono and that his utter
ances often made precedents and governed
Judicial action.
"I am simply waiting , " said the attorney
general , "for a report from the district at
torney , which , I presume , will tnnko an ex
planation of the doings of Moshcr and the
extraordinary liberties accorded him by
Sheriff Bennett. Ot course the entire affair
appears as a public scandal and I would not
suffer it to continue. I have , in my letter to
the district attorney , expressed in as forci
ble and definite language as possible , my
views upon the subject , and I can do nothing
further until I hear from Mr. Baker. "
Maklncr a 1'arcn of th IMVT ,
Attorney General Olncy.In a peneral way ,
described the performances of the president
of the looted Capital National bank as the
most extraordinary of any prisoner he had
over known , certainly of. any one who was
under sentence for so many years and con
victed of such a serious crime. The crime
for which Mosher was Indicted and con
victed , he said , was ono involving public
morals as \ \ ell as a private trust , and the
punishment Intended to be inflicted was for
the purpose of setting an example and es
tablishing the fact that it is a senous crime
to steal funds out of a bank , and If the sen
tence is not enforced and the result Is not
real punishment , thn entire end sought to
be attained by the law and its officers will
have failed utterly.
The attorney general is in hearty sympa-
thv with the citizens of Nebraska whom , ho
said , feel that the law has been out
raged and a sentence has been
disregarded , and a travesty has taken the
place of punishment. He says , however ,
that he cannot act until he has an official re
port , which will indicate Just how far there
has been an Infraction of the order of the
court and who are responsible tor it. The
exhibition of disretjard made by Mosher and.
tha sheriff is looked upon by Attorney Gen-
eral-Olnoy as a direct reflection upon , not
only the dignity of tno Department of Jus
tice , but the law. He says that it is first
the duty of the department to call the at
tention of the court which sentenced Mosher
to the fact tnat the order of the court has
been disregarded so that Mosher may be
sent away to the designated place of con
finement , and then If thcro should be a con
tinuation of the exhibition and disregard it
will oe the duty of the Department ot Justice
to act in the premises.
VlEorotu Action FromUcd.
Attorney General Olney indicated in his
conversation with TUB BEE correspondent
that he had no doubt the facts in. the case
were readily accessible and taut be fully ex
pected a report from District Attorney
Baker without delay. If there should be
delay In the submission of the report there
is no doubt the head of the Department of
Justice will , in emphatic language , express
his disapprobation , and if the report does
not vindicate the federal officers of all
official culpability they may well expect a
reprimand , for ne ligcace which they will
not soon forget. If the report should indi
cate that there is to be any further delay
in getting Mosner into the penitentiary , or
whoa ho is once there that lie is to be
treated differently from other criminals of
similar standing , the Department of
Justice will bo heard from , and in a way
that will leave no doubt , as to where it
stands in the premises.
Attorney General Olncy assumes a posi
tion which is In accord * with public opinion
in Nebraska about this iloshcr ca&a , and he
says that he Is only waiting for official in
formation , to back him up In vigorous action
In relation thereto. He expects all of the
facts from District Attorney Baker next
week.
Fink Colorado Gmnltr.-
At last the contract for the stonework
of the superstructure ot Omaha's new
federal building has been awarded. As
anticipated by TUB BKK , it is secured by
Drexel & Son of Omaha.
The final papers making- the contract
binding upon both sides and naming
in - detail the specifications are being-
drawn in the office of the supervising
arcnltcct of the treasury.
There was appropriated for tha stone
work of the superstructure $312,500 , The
contract price will be that amount , less $29.-
500 , which is deducted for carving. The
contractors are given two years in which to
complete ttiuir work , which will carry the
stonework up to the roof line.
To the surprise , but the great delight of
everyone , Colorado pink granite is to bo
used. The price originally liied for the
Colorado material , as stated in a BEE spe
cial , was too high , but there has been a lively
and free use of the wires during the past
forljveiefct hours and the coutra-
tors have finally succeeded in get
ting the Colorado quarrymen down to
figures within' the appropriation , and tbe
last proposition has been accepted. The
Colorado pruuito is regarded as much more
desirable than the Minnesota prdduct , being
lighter and brigtiter.
Senator Manderson and Representative
Mercer are happy over the outcome and say
there will bo no more delay.
DeLalU Will lie CamVfetect at Once.
Just before the Treasury department
closed at 4 o'clock tUIs afternoon TUB BIIE
correspondent was informed in the office of
the supervising architect tnat the award of
contract for atone work upon the building
would not be promulgated that is , signed
and duplicate copies delivered to the contractors -
tractors and representatives of the govern
ment boforc ] late tomorrow afternoon or
Saturday.
The details of the contract have all boon
agreed upon and are no.v being put Into
definite form for signature ,
Mr. Drexel , the contractor , who has boon
in Washington all week , honed to leave for
his home at Omaha tonight , but ho has de
ferred his departure until he can carry away
the contract itself.
It Is feared that the amount deducted
from tbe appropriation for the stone work
will be hardly sufficient to complete tbe
carving , aggregating as it does 9,500. But
if this as found to be insufficient to complete
tbe carving an additional appropriation can
be secured before that part of the work can
be done , as the carving cannot be begun
under two years , when all of tno granite
must be in the walls.
Mr. Melklejnlin Preferred.
It is probable that Mr. Meiklojohn will be
selected by Speaker Crisp , as the republican
member of tbe special committee from the
bouse committee on public lands in tbe in
vestigation of charges relative to the action
of certain federal officers , at tha opening
of the Cherokee Strip. The republican
members of the committee have all asked
that Meiklojobn be appointed and it is ex
pected that he will be u&med by Speaker
Crisp , bo faro congress adjourns tomorrow
afternoon. The Nebraska member ha * made
& close study of all the affairs relating to
tbo Cherokee Strip , both prior and subse
quent to tbo opening of the laudto settle

Democrat * Will Not Oetert ,
Representative William J. Bryan to Tns
BEB correspondent toflay outlined the future
attitude of the free silver democrats. Re
ferring to the rumors , that Mr. Bland of
Missouri and soverar southern democratic
congressmen and himself would probably
renounce the democratic party on account
of the passage of the unconditional repeal
bill , Mr. Bryan snld they were untrue.
Ilo stated that ho did not bellevo that the
repeal leaders , who had passed the bill ,
nroperly represented the majority of th < )
democratic party on the colnago question ,
lie thought the congressional election next
year would demonstrate that fact. Mr.
Bryan said that whenever tha democratic
party , as a party , declared Itself in sym
pathy with the clement that had passed the
repeal bill he would then cease to be a
democrat , but ho did not think that such a
contingency would over arise. Ho said that
with the commencement of the regular
session In December free coinage would be
promptly brought before the house ana the
Issue waged with renewed vigor by the free
colnago democrats.
Mr. Bland of Missouri and Mr. Livingston ,
who represents the ulliancodomocrats of the
south , said there would bo no desertion from
the democratic ranks by free silver congress
men on account of the passage of the uncon
ditional repeal bill.
