ill hta flU of anger , I WM rerjr much sur prised to hcnr of his election to the bench In Omaha. Ho went In , I understand , on an anti-Irish platform. I have heard him unjr many a tlmo that his father's brogue wnji so pronounced that you could hardly underntand him. Ho took pride In his Irish blood whllo here , but then he has switched on the prohibition Issue nnd In politics sev eral limes nnd wo can expect anything from him. His decision In the Omaha contempt cases surprised no one who knew him here. SCOTT'S CAREER AS A SCRAPPER. Whllo C. R. Scott lived In Anlmosa about thirteen years nnd made nn endur ing record In several lines of professional and perponal cussedness , his career as a fighter stands out conspicuously. He , of course , did not pose as n pugilist , but his t'nguowas on duty all the tlmo nnd he was open for a bout with all comers. Ho nuarroled nnd fought with his brother law yers , the Judges , friends and enemies nllko 'and stood ready at all times apparently to assault any man who .crossed him In any " WAV ' J , P. Scroggs , one of the best known citizens of Anatnosa , bears a souvenir of ono of Scott's earliest fights In the city. Scott had purchased a lot from Mr. Scroggs father and had agreed , BO It Is claimed , to pay for the property In gold and silver. State bank bills constituted most of the cur rent money nt thnt tlmo , but they were nol good for the payment of taxes nnd Mr. Scroggs Bold the lot lo Scott nt a very low prlco In order to get gold and silver to pay his taxes. The deed was made out and taken to Scott's office by Mr. Scroggs. Scott put 'the ' deed In his pocket and began to count out the paper money In payment. Mr. Scroggs prolcsled and demanded pay ment In coin. Scott denied that any such promise had been made , and without argu ment seized n chair nnd made n vicious assault up-in Mr. Scroggs , who was then n man nearly 70 years of ago. The old manned nod from the office of his assailant and told his son , J. P. Scroggs , of the manner In which ho had been treated. Young Scroggs Immediately starled after Scotl , who , he learned , had hurried to the court house and had the deed placed on record. The men mot In n livery barn nnd Scott wns culled upon to explain why ho had thrown the old man out of his office nnd why he had recorded the deed without first having paid for the properly. There was no argument In the case at all. The moment Scroggs began his questioning , before ho had a chance to prepare for nn ntlack Scott as saulted him with a pitchfork , aiming a blow and thrust at his head. Scroggs threw up his left arm and received a blow which ren dered his arm useless for a long tlmo nnd made a cut , the deep scar of which he still carries ns a token of his acquaintance with Scott. But this fight was not one-sided by any means. Scroggs , although disabled In ono arm , seized n picket that was lying on the floor and went at Scott with murder In his heart. The first blow split Scott's silk hat , but did no serious damage. The second blow was iWmed nt the pugilistic lawyer's Jiead. Scott threw up his hand and re ceived a blow across the knuckles. As a result his hands have never been mates since. Scott Immediately had Scroggs ar rested for assault with Intent to kill , but the evidence was so strongly In favor of the defendant that Scott had the case dis missed , returned the deed to the elder Scroggs nnd pnld nil the costs In the case. SCOTT BEGGED FOR MERCY. II. C. Metcalf Is a pioneer In Jones county. He has been hero for nearly half a century nnd Is ono of the wealthiest nnd most respected men In the county. He had a round with Scott. Ho does not talk of the case now except to say that he nnd Scott differed nt one time nnd ho brought Scott to terms by force of arms. I3ut other old-timers here remember the case as a most exciting one. Scott was an ardent prohibitionist and Mr. Metcalf was a high license man. The citizens held a meeting to discuss the question , and the high license people carried the day by a big majority. Scott and n few other temperance enthusi asts withdrew from the citizens' meeting and held another meeting In the Methodist church. A't that gathering Scott made one of his famous speeches , full of abuse of all who opposed him , nnd In the course of his remarks made a most Insulting reference to the family of Mr. Metcalf , which was wholly1 false nnd unwnrranted. The news reached Mr. Met calf , nnd the next morning ho cornered Scott on the most prominent business street In the city and made an attempt to get satisfaction. Scott showed the white feather at once. Ho begged the man he had slandered to spare him ; wanted to go Inslda. and talk the matter over , but Mr. Metcalf was not In a humor for temporizing ; and ho gave the slanderer a good shaking and sent htm on his way. USED A REVOLVER. Scott did not have any special preference In the matter of weapons when ho went Into a light and used a chair , pitchfork , revolver [ NUMBER 9.

Whllo man ; of his encounters only resulted In bad blood , In two cases at least he was only saved from committing murder by the Interven tion of frlcr.ds. Ho was trying a case In a Justice court ono day , cnrly In the 'CD's , nnd wns opposed by an attorney named Kceler , a bright young fellow who could never get along with Scolt. The case was a nasty one at best , and after n lot of disgusting evidence dence- had been taken the lawyers were all In bad humor. Scott never missed such on opportunity to ratio a fuss nnd this was no exception. In some argument about , the admission of n woman's testimony Scott made a personal reference to Kceler , accusing him of most Immoral conduct. Keoler , ntung lo the quick , retorted with a rcflecllon upon Hcott's personal purity , and In an Instant Scott was rushing on his follow attorney with n raised chair , cursing llko a deck hand and threatening the llfo of Keeler. Scoll's partner , J. L. Sheean , wns cngngcd In the case and he nt once seized Scolt nnd sought to restrain him. Kcoler had alno secured a chair and waa being held In another corner ot Ihe room. Ho was easily cnlmcil , but not so with Scott. As soon as ho lost his chair ho made a rush for the office of Judge McCalrn , where ho secured a revolver and made another at tempt lo get at Keeler , yelling that he would murder htm. U was several days before Scott could be Induced to abandon his pur pose to kill Kceler. It la Interesting lo note that Iho man who caught Scotl nnd pre vented him from shooting Keelcr was J. I' . Scroggs , who had been a victim of ono of Scott's assaults several years before. THIRD TO KILL HIS FRIEND. J. N. Fowler was another man who barely escaped killing at the hands of C. It. Scotl. This case did moro than nny one other trouble blo Scotl hnd been In to turn his friends from him. It was a case of the rankest kind of Ingratitude. Fowler had been Scott's friend , Ho had loaned the needy lawyer money many a tlmo when money was scarce and when It was represented that Scott wna actually on the verge of need. Fowler was In the hotel and saloon business nnd had helped Scott politically In many ways. Scoll pretended lo bo opposed lo Iho prohibition movement and talked the mailer over with Fowler many limes and agreed lo oppose Iho law and It was generally understood among the saloon keepers In the city nnd county that the enforcement of Ihe prohibition law would not bo very vigorous If Scolt was elected district attorney , nnd he wns elected In 1863. The flrsl ncl ho performed when he got Inlo offlco wns to commence notion ngnlnst his friend Feeler , not only com menced It , but kept It up until It took the form of a persecution. Fowler wns practi cally ruined. There was no explanation made ns to why Fowler should bo Iho vlcllm of n conslnnl nnd blller prosecution. After Scolt had rellred from the office of prosecuting attorney In 1869 ho went to Fowler and wanted to make up their differ ences , reauestlng him In "let us be as wo used to bo before this blanked liquor fight came up. " Fowler refused lo have any thing lo do with Scoll and ordered him oul > f Ihe holel. Scolt then renewed his fight on Fowler and made It his business ap parently to harass and annoy htm as much ns possible. Some llttlo tlmo after the hotel episode Fowler was. lying on a loung ? In a grocery store when Scott entered the store and \vlth nn oath seized n hatchet and rushed upon Fowler and attempted to brain him. The merchant In whoso store the assault occurred caught Scotl and narrowly escaped being nssanlled for his Inlerferenco by llio Infurialed allorney. Scott was wild with nnger for hours and cursed every ono who had been Instrumental In preventing him from becoming n murderer , INSULTED TWO JUDGES. Lawyer Scoll had no respecl whatever for the dignity of any court In which lie prac ticed and seldom tried a case without abus ing and Insulting the court as well as the opposing atlorneys and wllnesscs. In the trlnl of a case before Judge Isbel of the dis trict bench Scott , In preparing his bill of exceptions , perverted the tesllmony and re flected upon Ihe Integrity of the opposing counsel , Colonel J. S. Stacy , to such nn ex tent thai Judge Isbel called him to order and remonstrated with him. Scott flow into a rage , tore up Ihe bill of exceptions and throw the pieces on Iho floor , swearing lhat ho would bi d d If he would have a bill of exceptions If ho could nol have Ihe bill as he wanted it. Judge Isbel resented the Insult to Iho court and fined Scott for con tempt. but withdrew the flue the next day when Scott made a public apology for his conduct. Judge Yates , whllo on Iho district bench. , also had a round with Scott. In the Irlal of a case In which Scott waa prosecuting ho became so abuslvo of the witnesses , attor neys and Iho court thai Judge Yales remon strated with him nnd threatened to fine him. Scolt wns wild with anger. Ho waited un til the court had adjourned nnd then made an atlempt lo assault Iho judge , but was prevented from carrying out his Intention by UIQ Inlerference of oilier members of Ihe bar. The mailer was of course rcporled lo Judge Yates , who was a good-natured , easy going man , and ho let Scotl oft with a repri mand after the offender had publicly apolo gized to the court. OPPOSED TO CHANGE OF VENUE. Scott was as much opposed to a change of venue In those days as he has shown him self lo bo In bis recenl rulings from the bench In Omaha. A man named Stevenson was arresled on a charge of having ob- latncd money under false pretenses In con" nectlon with n sale of some palenl grain selves. The purchaser thought ho was signing contracts , but they lurncd out lo ba noles , and Scoll was hired to prosecute Stevenson , some $600 being nt stake. Scott's law partner at that time wns T. It. Ercan- back , wiio was also a justice of the peace. Ot course , the atlorneys for Stevenson did not want to Iry Ihe case before Iho law parlner ot Iho allorney who was prosecullng , and Ihey asked for a change ot venue. Jus tice Ercanback was Inclined to grant the change , when Scoll jumped Inlo Iho ring. Ho made a mosl bitter assault upon the op posing counsel and the accused , refused to allow the Justice to grant the desired change nnd closed a long harangue by shaking his fist In thu face of Colonel Sheolmn , who was defending Stevenson , and oxclajmlng : "No , d n you , I've got you and your man where I want you , and I'm going lo keep you. " The Judge was over awed , and heard Ihe caao , which was set tled out of court without Scoll's Interfer ence. QUARRELED WITH HIS BARKEEPER. Whllo Scotl quarreled with courts and nt- lornoys with or without provopallon , his relations with Iho business men df Iho city were never plcasanl. No man could deal with him and get a settlement without a row or dispute of some kind. 1)111 ) 1'eot Is the only man whoso books show thnt Scott's tongue stood him Instead of cash In Iho set tlement of accounts , and the story Is a good one. one.I'eet I'eet wns n saloon keeper and Scolt was ono of his regular patrons , Money was scarce In those days , and bar bills were not uncommon. Scotl had a bill which hnd run along for some lime until It reached quite nn amount. Poet Irled lo gel n BBtllomonl without much success. Scott paid the claim along In small dribs of 25 to GO cents. When the final settlement came thera was a dispute. Scoll swore he had paid ? 1.EO for which ho had nol received credit. Ho detailed the circumstances under which he hnd made the payment , but neither Peel nor any of his employes could remem ber anylhlng of llio evenl.

Scotl'a war record Is the most dazzling roaluro of his exceedingly eventful llfo In Anamosa. It was only a few years ago Ihul It was learned hero lhat ho had ac quired the title ot "colonel" and left It lo f > Inferred lhal ho had put down the re bellion with some llttlo aBslsianco from un- Imporlanl sources. The "colonel's" lighting has been Imltcd lo personal brawls and his patriotism was not nearly as stronc along about the lime the Thlrly-ilrst Iowa > 0 , iut beolt was n co' ' Plcuous figure In hose times , but he gained a prominence mat llio averaco man would not feel very proua over. In common with every olhor town In Iowa Anamosa was all worked un over the call for troopd. Scolt was the wildest man In the city. Ho wanted to go down and drink gore nnd wanted to go nt once. Ho was filled with patriotic frenzy and was suspicious that some ot the citi zens of the town wore not us loyal as they should be. At a meeting of citizens Scott made a llro-eatlng speech and vnnted the cltltons who were sunpected brought up and required to take the oath of allcslanco. lloth nf the citizens In ques tion were prominent people and still live Ir Annmosn , but Scott expected they wotilt ! turn the- stale over lo Iho confeilaraer If his plan did not go through. There would have been bloodshed had the meeting adopted Scott's plan , bill fortunately men with cooler heads took the mutter In hand nnd pre vented the proposed Insult to the worthy cltlzctn. It had been decided lo raise n com pany nt Antimosa and Scott was the buslosl man In Iho county. He made a speech In which ho paid ho had n home , bul ha would sell that and give It to be right In the middle of a good fight with the rebels. Ho wan ready to leave his family and go down and face the music and If'nocessarj surrender his life for his counlry's Hnko. This all sounded very nice nnd Scott sleek was up high for a lime , until 11 began lo be noised nboul that he wanted to captnln the company , nnd In fact began to be very abuslvo when the name of nny other man wan suggcslcd for that office. Finally the election wa held and Captain E. I ) . Alder man ot Marlon wns chosen lo lead the com pany. Thl was n crusher to Scott and ho waa not nearly ns hungry for gore as ho had been , but he thought thai ho might got up n pretly good np- pellle for blood If he wore selected as first lieutenant. He lost his appetite en tirely when nnolher man wns Belecled as lieutenant of the company , and when the time came for enlistment Scott wns on hand with a physician's certlflcalo lo Ihe effecl lhal ho was suffering from rheumatism and was not In condition to go Into the nrmy. So Scott staid at homo nnd pined for the fray thai he could nol participate In on ac count of poor health. Politically Scolt wns as unreliable ns his temper In n Inw suit. Ho wns n republican when ll was unpopular lo bo anylhlng els ? In Iowa. On the prohibition question Scotl wns nnythtng lo cnlch Iho support of the people whom he thought could do him Ihe mosl good. While he drank n good deal nt times and playqd for political support of the saloon Interest he talked prohibition lo Ihe church people. Aflor he had served six years ns prosecullng nltorney he wanted to go to tho'Hlalo sennte In 1870 and sought the republican nomination , lie was defeated before Iho convention and then boiled Ihe republican ticket and worked for the antimonopoly - monopoly ticket , which carried a number ol counties In this part of the slate thnt year. This political flop lei Scott out of the swim hero entirely nnd ho removed In 18T4 lo Council Bluffs. ffOHTlIKIttr 1'AOII'JO INrKSTlGATIOX. Ivcs Faction Claims to Do Satisfied with tlm Itcmilt. CHICAGO , May C. The Northern Pacific Investigation was not resumed In Chicago today , but It will be taken up In New Yock next Wednesday. Atlorney Pcllltt , repre senting the Ivos faction , said today he was satisfied with the Investigation so far as It had progressed , nnd nddcd : "Wo have proved everything that we set out to prove. I said at the beginning of the affair lhal It was a $10,000,000 steal and I now consider that wo have proved It by $1,000,000 more than that. In other words , the property cost less than $3,000,000 , according to the testimony of the men who sold the ground , the men who hnd charge of the conslruc- tlon and the man who kspt the books. The price paid by the road for that same prop erty wo have established to be $18,830,000. "Tho fact Is that the men Implicated In the afTalr , " continued Mr. PetllU , "have been scouring llko rats out of a sinking ship. Ono of the biggest of them started early , llko the lame captain , at the first sound of trouble. Two others followed later and another Is making his property over to his wife as fast as the law will allow. Before we get through we expect to provo who got this lltlle margin of $11- 000,000 , and how Ihey gel 11. The position taken by poor Oakes is like that of Ihe label on Iho bollle on Ihe oulslde , where ho did not get nny of It. However , ho claimed to bo a great man , and he should have known better than to pay or allow the com pany , of which ho was president , to pay over $18,000,000 for property that had Just been bought for less than $8.000,000.

Wlial rival roads are doing secretly Iho Union Pacific will do openly under a general larlff. Packing house products Is Included In the commodities lo bo lowered. "Wo are sizing up Ihe- situation , " said Mr. Woods , "and going slow with tlio rate quesllon. Rales are badly demoralized , and whllo wo have no poslllvo Informallon as lo ralo culling going on wo have every rea son lo bellevo lhat somebody is manipulating rates. To protect ourselves we- will have to revise our Colorado sheet , and just as soon as Mr. Munroo returns something will bo done toward protecting the Union Pacific from rate culling on Iho part of rival roads. " KXASl'KUATING KATE TKOUHLKS. Settled ut Ono Polut Only to Hrealc Out at Another. CHICAGO , May C. At-the meeting today of the Cenlral Traffic association llio notice of western lines discontinuing participation In arbitrages and allowances was referred fo a commltleo to confer with a committee of western lines on Monday. The. outlook for Iho maintenance of freight rates Is not promising. Each line declares llself willing lo hold them up If nil oilier lines will do the same thing , but by Iho lime harmony Is secured. In ono locality somebody knifes the rales In another and by the tlmo this Is tlxcd the first fellows are at It again. The Western Passenger association lines are making a heroic effort to get Ihe oul- fllde lines lo take joint action with them on emigrant traffic , and unless they succeed In doing this within the next ten days there Is a prospect of wide demoralization In rates , as many of Iho railways are hustling for summer excursion business In a way lial ( will knock Iho bottom oul of rales. A decision has been handed down by Iho supreme court of Illinois declaring the ticket scalpers act constitutional.

( Special Telegram to Tlio Uee. ) Tlio Kellcyltcs liavo nbamlonei nil hope of gelling out of DCS Molnca by rnl nna will now try It by water. A Bcbcme was concocted late last , night nnd perfected today to build 1KO flat boats nnd float UIL army down tliu Dos Mollies river to the Mis shslppl. tlietico to the mouth of the Ohio thence to bo transported up that river to nea Its source. From there the plan , If all goes well , Is to march overland to Washington Figures wcro obtained today to show tlm the expense of building these boats will no be over $600 , and Kelly agreed to furnlsl half of that amount. The bulk of the labo of making the boats will also be furnished by tlio Kcllyltcs , nnd It la expected the whole thing can bo accomplished In one day Efforts will be nude to do this tomorrow so that tlio nrmy may stnrt on Its voyugo by tomorrow evening or Mondny morning n latest. Kelly got his men together today am laid the plan before them , nnd It was lookct upon enthusiastically. Not n man was will Ing to take up the march on foot again The citizens' committee will continue to do Its best to feed the army until It gets away though the Contributions are coming In slowly , nnd tlio rations from now on wll bo very short. If the barge schema sue coeds Des Molncs will heave a great sigh of relief. It Is feared that Kelly will not be able to lead more than 800 of his men out o the city , nnd that 600 or more will be turned loose on the city and county. The citizens' committee disbanded , today nnd closed Its office. This committee has beet In charge of General Weaver and his fellow spirits. They were enthusiasts In wulcoin Ing the army , but have now notified the sheriff that they can do nothing more. Kelly was compelled today to take out o his army purse money to buy 1,100 pounds of meat , as the men were grumbling aboul living on bread and crackers. Tomorrow morning saw mills will be set to work to cut lumber for the boats , am Monday all the men In the camp who can handle hammers , aided by members of the DCS Molnen Carpenters union , will be sel to work framing the barges. It will bo an unique undertaking , as the river has nol been used for transportation since 1846 , ant Is full of sandbars and snags and unusually low. Many predict the venture will end In disaster.

The Saturday night crowd at the Jefferson square Industrial meeting wns ono of the ' ' largest that has'ye'l turned out on ono of these occasions , and those present seemed to think that they reSelved the full worth of their money. II.31. . Tlchenor opened the ball , nnd was followed by Mayor Bemls , who briefly discussed tlio' money question , declar ing In favor of gold , free sliver and green backs. He also turned his attention to Councilman Hascall. and wanted to know how It happened ithat general distress pre vailed after the brilliant-Tilled promises made by Hascall during the .last campaign. Ho wanted , to know'what , hud become of the rainbow on which the First ward statesman was to , have , given them all a ride , find how It happened that thct V/rlend of the , laboring man" was working tor the corporations first , last nnd all the time. The fifty-year gas franchise was brought fprtfi for a brief in spection , nnd some pertinent queries were asked as to how Habcall proposed to have tlio measure benefit the laboring man. The mayor said It was useless to kick against ex isting conditions as long ns voters persisted In electing dishonest men to office. He do- clnrcd that honest men wcro needed In the council , on the bench and In the pulpit. He did not bellovo that Cranes or Scotts filled the bill , -mid was of the opinion that the people n3 n whole had come to the same conclusion. Ho advocated government own ership of railroads , holding that tlio govern ment could conduct them as. cheaply and satisfactorily ns It did the postofllcc , nnd the same was true with reference to telegraph and telephone systems. He likewise favored municipal ownership of street railway lines , electric and gas lighting plants. Ho was very much In favor of having the government start work for the unemployed , and thought the Nlcnraugua"canal would help to solve the question If the work were properly pushed there. The references to Hascall were received with the most demonstrative applause , nnd at different times a chorus of "Hascall Is n rascal" filled tlio air. At the conclusion of the mayor's speech there were calls for Hascall , who was In the crowd , but If any body thought he was prepared to defend himself It was a mistaken Idea , for the First warder found It easier to stand on his dignity than to answer the questions pro pounded. Ho said that It was not necessary for him to reply to what had been said about him , ns he was. too well known to the citi zens of Omaha to attempt any defense. Ho said , however , that at some future time nnd place ho would set himself right before the people. He consented to answer ono thing , and that was with reference to the good times that ho had promised. The people themselves were declared to bo en tirely to blame because his predic tions had not como true , as they had refused to votb the canal bonds. If they had only done as ho wanted them to In that respect , everything would have been lovely nnd they would all be wear ing diamonds. Ho had prepared an ordi nance that had been declared perfectly legal by the city attorney appointed by Mayor Hernia , and the mayor had himself ap proved It or the people would never hnvo had a chance to vote on the proposition. The voters had by their own action kept $1,000,000 out of tlio hands of the laboring men , and he was In no wise to blame for It. It.D. . Clem Dcaver declared forcibly In favor of free silver , and Insisted that this agita tion must bo kept up until November if It was to accomplish Anything. T. C. Kelsey wound up the program with a plea for moro redhllls. Ho said ho had 102 men enrolled , and no ought to have G.OOO. Ho announced that'Vis command would prob ably stnrt next Wednesday morning. A bull game will be played at 3 o'clock this afternoon nt HasenU'a park for the ben efit of the Industrial soldiers , who will put up the game themspves [ , An admittance fee of 15 cents will bocharged.

There wns n fallIng - Ing off In the attendance of congressmen nt the trial of Commonwcnl leaders which wns rcaumed In Judge Miller's court today. Representative Slblcy of Pennsylvania had n seat within the bar. After Officer Law of the police force had told how Ilrowno nnd Coxey ran ncross the grass nnd shrubbery nnd were- arrested James It. Forsylhe , n clerk In the district surveyor's office , tried to point out upon a mnp of the city whore the cnpltol grounds lay , but the attorneys for the defense made objection that It was not competent , After considerable argu ment ho was permitted to state what , upon hearsay , he thought were the boundaries of the grounds. Judge Miller recalled Officer Law nnd asked him several questions. Representative 1'enco arose and created something of a sensation by declaring that It wns evident the court was endeavoring to help the prosecuting officers out of n liolo from which they showed absolute In capacity to lift themselves. "Can you show nny Impropriety In the question ? " asked the judge. ' 'I can object that the questions are nb- solutcly Improper nnd misleading , " re- ponded Mr. 1'enco. . Judge Miller declared with considerable show of warmth that It was his privilege nnd sworn duty to elicit all the facts In llio matter. Mr. 1'encc asked some questions of the officer which showed that although ho was recorded ns the complainant In the case he had not entered nny complaint. Ho could not tell how It happened that charges of disorderly conduct and assault had been i-n- tcred against Hrowno nnd afterwards with drawn. The officer denied that Browne had been clubbed , and when he wns asked whether Hrowno had not boon roughly used the judge said that was not In the case. An enterprising real estate man hero made an offer to the Coxeyltcs which wns not accepted. Ho has n tra.pt of land about three nnd a hnlf miles distant from the city which he desires to have cleaned of under brush nnd made ready for subdivision. It Is a pretty spot nnd much healthier than the sewerage mouth camp now occupied by the Coxcyltes. The owner , Dr. G. P. Gehrlng , offered to let the nrmy camp on that truct nnd to pay them $500 If they would clear the ground. The proposition struck Coxey favorably , but Browne was unwilling to move the camp so far from the city , nnd the offer was rejected. Senator Powell has presented n petition adopted- a mnss meeting In Hutto , Mont. , declaring In fnvor of thei organization of "a homo guard of the Coxey army to assist In case It were necessary , " and calling on the Montana congressional delegation to de mand that nil further Interference with the forwnrd march of the Crccy army bo dis continued. The resolutions denounce the deputy United Stntes marshal of Montana and refer to those who fired on the Coxey ltcs ns "a band of mercenaries composed of the scum of humanity In the employ of the government. " .Ofllcer F. D. Aldrldgo cleared away the mystery which has surrounded the circum stances under which Christopher Columbus Jones of Philadelphia managed to get him self arrested. Mr. Jones , the officer ex plained , had "Interfered" as the police .wero trying to arrest Urowne. Officer Murphy testified that he had been stationed at the capltol grounds with orders to prevent any organization from parading there or any person from carrying banners. Browne broke In flourishing a banner , the ofllcer said , so bo had arrested him. Congressman Hudson of Kansas cross-ex amined Mr. Murphy. "So you signed tliU affidavit , did you not ? " the congressman nskcd , exhibiting the com plaint agnlnst Coxey. "Yes , sir. " "And you did not see Coxey there ? " "No , sir. " Sergeant Kcnn'ey had seen Browne at Brlghtwood drilling the men with their peace "bannerettes , " as the witness called them , In'such n drill ns he hnd never heard of before , although lie was an old soldier. Jones had .made n wild leap from the cab across the street. The officer had com manded Jones' followers to stand still , nnd they had done so. "Did you hear him make any declaration , statement or threat ? " Inquired Mr. Hudson. "Mr. Jones was very quiet. " "Why did you tell his men to stand still ? " "We were looking for trouble. " "Then , as n matter of fact , all the trouble was batwcen the citizens nnd the officers ? " "Most emphatically no. " A jurcr asked some questions about Jones , eliciting the fnct that the Philadelphia ! ! 1-ad not walkcfl on the grass. Police Lieutenant Kelly told how C'oxey asked leave to make a speech c > r read a pro test. test."Did "Did ho say ho demanded your protection while ho expressed his constitutional rlplts : ? " asked Mr. Pence. "I don't remember that. " "What was his bearing ? " "Gentlemanly throughout. " "Did he vlclato any law ? " "If ho had I would have arrested him. " lie was quiet and peaceable throughout. " The prosecution having been finished. Rep resentative Pence made n motion to have the case dismissed on the ground of Insufficient evidence. Judge Miller held that there was proof tending to substantiate the charges and declined to grant the motion. There upon Mr. Hudson asked for an adjournment until Monday , that the lawyers might counsel regarding the defense , and the court ad- lourned. _ STABBED HIS NEIGHBOR. frank Nublnnliy UHOM u Kiilfo on the Ilruil of Allrliaol SHirumelc. Michael Schramek , n Bohemian employed at the smelting works and rcsldlnglit 1714 South eighth street , was seriously cut at 11 o'clock last night by Frank Nabinsky , a neighbor , who Is also an employe at the utnolttng works. The wound Inflicted Is about six Inches eng and about one-fourth oi an Inch deep. Tlm trouble nroso cnrly In the evening and as fur ns can bo learned Nabinsky , who illd the cutting , was to blame. About two weeks ago Nabinsky , BO It Is claimed by Schramek , made an Insulting pro posal to ono of Schramek's daughters , which Lho young lady resented. She kept her leaco for a couple of duys , however , when aha was again approached by Nabinsky nnd this tlmo he called her some vllo names. Mr. Schramek was Informed of. It and he has since waited for an opportunity to call Na- ilnsky to account. Last night Nabinsky , coming from work , net Schramek , who called him Into his yard. A. war of words followed , which ended In Schramok knocking Nublnsky down. The latter did not retaliate just then , hut re- narked ho would get oven. Ho got up , wont Into his house , procured n knife nnd returned. Ho did not find Schramok In the yard BO he wont Into Schramek's house. Schramek was Bitting beside a table rending , ind Nablnsky , without a word , ran up to ilm and slashed him on the head. Schramok irase to defend himself , but Nabinsky had ilready gone to his homo. Tho. gush In Schramek's head bled furl- lusly. Dr. Williamson , who was nqar , was : alled and sawed up the cut. The next thing on the program was to : atch Noblnsky. Officer Kvuns was notified ind wont to the house , but was refused ad- nlltnnco. Ho was not certain that It was .he right house , and ns the llghta were ml ho could do very little.

LEXINGTON. May ( ! . Colonel William O. P. Brccklnrl-igo wns greeted hero today by an audlunco of 3,000 people , representing the voters of the Seventh congressional district and many people from the sur rounding country. The speaking was In the opera house , nnd hnlf nn hour before Colonel llrccklnrldge arrived the auditorium wns full of people. When ho advanced towards the stngo from the roar entrance. the audience stood up and yelled wildly for five minutes. The colonel wns filled with emotion which shook him from head lo foot. Ho made the most powerful nd- dross ever delivered to n Kentucky nudl- encc. When ho spoke of the notion of the Ministers union In this city , which took notion against him. ho assumed the most delimit look nnd strained every nerve In his body , his fists wore closed nnd his expression wns that of n brnvo man thor oughly enrnged. Ho guvo the public press some very hard llliiKs. nnd when ho snld thai ho had no criticism for Iho Judge who snt In the trial fifty voices shouted nt once. "I have , I have. " The reception was certainly enthusiast la and whllo every man In the house will not cast his vote for Ilrucklnrldgo It wns plainly to bo seen that ho had ninny friends who Intend to stand by him. After reviewing his boyhood llfu nt Lexington , his public service hi Iho confederate urmy nnd In congress , Colonel Ilrucklnrldgo said : "I do not wUU this district to conceive thnt I have any defense - fonso to make for what I havn dona and of which I have been guilty. Entangled by weakness , by passion , by sin In cells In which It wns almost Impossible to brenk I did everything thai wns within my power to prevent a public scandal , except the ono Ihlng which Tor no moment ever entered my mind. WEIGHT OF SECRET SIN. "Your re-election of mo can neither tnko nor add to the punishment I havesuffered. . U fins not been hypocrisy thnt my llfo has not been consistently wrong : I knew the secret sin ; I tried to mono for It In wnys Ihnt It Is not becoming In mo to nlludo to. How many kind words did this atonement produc ? to others ; how much of self-control and how much sclf-sacrlflco ; how much ot earnestness and labor In aid of good thine * and to good causes ? when I came to make a public utterance under any circumstances to any audience , how cautious was I that no word of mine might tempt. ' others to bo guilty , ns I wns guilty ? Now that exposure has come , there Is nn element of gladness In it. I care not now what letters come In my mall ; I care not now for the cloaot door to bo opened there Is no skeleton Ihcre ami I can go Into tlio clear sunlight nnd look up through the blue skies Into the upper world with a feeling thai ihere Is no cloud Ihcre I am nol afraid llml from the horizon will suddenly comu n clnp of thunder nnd n flash of lightning that will destroy mo and mine. This Is of Iho past. I will wear with mo the scars , but I will not longer carry the dread. I will como out of that storm , how ever long It may lust , In some rcspecls a conqueror. Sweet domestic relations , which I absolutely need and out of which I have no. life , are mine. HAD CONFESSED ALL. "The extent of my guilt was truthfully con fessed by mo to Its uttermost boundaries without Justiflcallon or palliation. To that cxlent I was guilty ; beyond that I was In nocent. Whatever charge of any Ictnd la made against mo by any person , not con fessed in Hint solemn testimony , for the truth of which I nppealed to God , la false. I desire this acknowledgment nnd denial to be fully understood that Ihero may bo no more misunderstanding hereafter. In your presence loday and in Iho presence of the district , I repeat that for that sin ot which I was guilty I have no justification , no palll- nllon nnd I nsk no condonation. If some In your midst can bettor uo the work you want done , ns well ns I , your representatives should choose him , choose ono whoso llfo has been stainless , whose morals your young men can Imitate with profit , whose days have been pure nnd whose nights have been sinless , whoso ability is ample , whoso ex perience is wide. "When some ono comes to write this hls- lory , whatever blame may attach to me , he may write that with blame ho loved the poor , ho tolled for his fellow men , he labored for good causes , wns loyal to principles , faithful to truth devoted to you. " * NOT ALL PLEASANT. Two men of Lexlnglon have Issued an address lo" Iho voters In Colonel Breokln- rldge's district , In which they oppose hla re-election and denounce his defenders. The address , among other things , says : "Would you vote for the destruction of your boys ? No ; sooner vote for the destruction of party than sink moral sentiment. It Is your duty to lend your boys to n higher moral plane , but would such n representative Inspire your sons and daughters with the subllmo duty of morality. No ; his name Is a syn onym for corruption. Were ho magnan imous ha would have closed the door to vice. Ho who has so oflcn , with beautiful words and brilliant oratory , sung cnchunt- Ingly of the noble duties of our great com monwealth will have you prove recreant to your trusts. Let no extenuating plea of charity cause you to oven listen to his silvery tones. They can no longer avail , ho has sacrificed hlmcclf ; let his voice bo silent. His Influence Is lost. Wo deeply Jeploro this , but he has scaled his own fate. Refuse to return him to congress ; by so iolng you will promote tliu Interests ot society and of your own stale.
