THE OMAITA DAILY BEIto MONDAY. JULY 9 , 1891.
-Chicago on tha Monon railway was brought
to & halt -by the mob. The engineer nnd
fireman were made to dismount nnd the lo
comotive wag quickly "killed" by opening
a Valve nnd allowing all the water to run out
of the bolter.
The active leader * of the mob wcro not
local strikers or known to the Hammond
people. Under their leadership , however ,
the town was terrorized last night and mil-
way traffic paralyzed. Iloldly operating
right In the center of town the mob had
everything nearly Its own way.
The worst trouble came about 3 a. m. ,
when. In a skirmish with railway employes ,
three men were laid low In a bunch. Two
of the railway men were badly Injured In
other encounters. The man whoso wounds
nro supposed to bo morfal Is II , 13. Miles ,
an employe of the Interlocking Switch com
pany.
Ono of the acts of the desperate mob was
the burning of a. Pullman coach. It was set
on nro In several places simultaneously and
completely consumed. Fully twenty-five
freight cars wcro derailed and tipped upside
down , but the torch was not applied to
them.
An unprecedented proceeding In strike
tactlca was the attack on the telegraph of
fice. The mob became possessed with the
Idea that telegrams were about to be sent
to Governor Matthews at Indianapolis ask
ing for troops and the strike leaders de
termined to forestall such action If possible.
Entrance to the telegraph office was ef
fected with scant courtesy nnd In the ex-
prosslvo language of nn eye witness , "The
place was cleaned out completely. " Since
then telegraphic communication between
Hammond and the outside world has been
cut off completely.
MAJOIl HART55 TALKS.
A special train on the Monon arrived late
tonight , bearing a detail of United States
Infantry , under command of Major Hartz ,
having In custody four of the ringleaders In
this afternoon's disorders there. Major
Hartz was seen on arrival by an Associated
press representative and spoke very tersely
of the trouble , observing -very significantly
In conclusion : ' 'Things have quieted .down
Bom'awhat at Hammond since the trouble this
afternoon. "
In reply to Inquiries , the major slid. "Wo
succeeded In moving ( He mall trains which
wore being bold at Hammond by rioters.
In moving one train we were confronted by
a gang who lined up In a solid mass In front
of the engine. They wcro warned to make
way , but no attention was paid to the ad
monition and we 'gavo It to them. ' One man
was killed so far as I Know now , and four
or more wore wounded , how badly I am not
Informed , "
When asked for further Information the
major referred all questioners to department
headquarters.
Thomas Jackman , one of the men shot
and wounded In the riot yesterday at Forty-
ninth and Loom Is , died this morning.
At a late hour tonight all Is quiet , though
several groups of rioters have mndo threat
ening demonstrations at different points
points about the city. The officers com
manding the United States forces made pub
lic the following telegram received by him
from General Miles : "Commanding Officer
of the United States Troops : General Scho-
flold wires that Governor Matthews of In
diana has asked the president that three
companies of United States troops be sent
to Hammond to disperse the mob of rioters.
This makes your duty and that of the troops
plain. You are to flro upon any mob or
men obstructing the line nt road and hold
the place until further orders. By command
. . . of General Miles. "

Some Wcstrrn Troops Sent to Clilrngo

Yesterday was an extremely busy day for
the oHlccrs In the headquarters ot the De
partment of the Platte In this city. The
entire working force In the adjutant gen-
crnl's ofDco had been kept busy all night
before and all day yesterday until 4
o'clock receiving and transmitting reports
from and to the several points covered by
the operations of tlio department. Although
thn number of troops moved from point to
point In the department was not large , yet
the expedition required made the work some
what moro complicated. The troops from
Torts Nlobrara and Robinson were sent to
Evanston and1 Rawllns by special train ,
transportation being furnished by the Elk-
horn. In addition lo the troops sent west
to Union Pacific points the department also
dispatched four troops of the Sixth cavalry
from Fort Nlobraral to Chicago. These
trcops came down the Rlkhorn to Dlalr ,
frcm whence they passed ctstward to Chicago
cage via Missouri Valley. The men getaway
away Saturday night , but the horses wore
not loaded on the stock train until yesterday
morning.
In splto of the reticence of the military
authorities nt headquarters there are good
reasons for the belief that other movements
of troops not made public have either been
Inaugurated or are In contemplation. The
Ueo received a telephone message from Fort
Otnnlm last c > enlng stating that word had
been received there by Major Wlrth that
four companies of the Ninth cavalry at Fort
Robinson had been ordered to Chicago and
would pass through Omaha at 3 o'clock this
morning. At headquarters all knowledge cf
this movement was denied. It Is evidently
the purpose of the department to conceal
as far as possible the departure ot troops
for the cast. The Intense activity In the
\arlous oulces of the department , however ,
Indicated all day yesterday that matters
of unusual Importance were under way. No
reports of disorders were received at head
quarters yesterday.
CAUSE OF THE ST11IKK.
Explanation of n Knight of Labor on tha
Subject.
PHILADELPHIA , July 8. The Inquirer
will say tomorrow : The strike Is not now
and from Its Inception has never been a
battle for organized labor In the Pullman
shops , " said a prominent official of the
Knights of Labor today. "It Is the result ,
pure and simple , of a. fight for supremacy
among laboring oragntzations. In other
words , the strike is a trump card played by
labor leaders in the game which they are
playing against the leaders of rival organiza
tions and against rivals In their own or
ders.
"Six months ago the Knights found posi
tive prof of the fact that the great body of
the order was thoroughly disgusted and
that the order was on the verge of falling
to pieces. The decision was soon reached
that the only salvation for them lay In a
general uprising of labor. They were also
urged to this determination by the fact , that
the Federation of Labor was waging a war
to the death aaglnst the Knights. There
was but one , a young and vigorous
order , favorable to and built upon the
Knights of Labor Idea of striking. That one
was the A. R. U. The leaders of the
Knights once proceeded to fraternize with
eho A. R. U. for the defeat of the Federa
tion.
tion."At
"At a conference In January It was de
cided to issue an order to the master work
man of every local assembly of the Knights ,
asking him to call upon all members to pay
In G cents weekly to an emergency fund
to be used In a movement of national Im
portanco. Meanwhile the leaders waited
for an opportunity for the proper uprising ,
and the Pullman btrlko offered the desired
opportunity. All plans wcro perfected and
funds made ready before a move was mado.
This strike Is the most , formidable and
deeply planned of any uprising that has over
Occurred In a civilized country in a half
century. "

ORIENTAL ORDER OF SAT B'HAI ' KOOIIA

The Sago of Am and Supreme Begum of
the Oriental Order of Sat H'hnl Koohn has
departed from the classic shades of Vir
ginia and plunged Into Canadu In search
of n quiet , secluded spot fur from the mad
dened throng ot mystic dupes and harassing
extradition ,
The exploit * of lr. Grnnby Stnnton How-
nrd related by the Washington Post are of
the Schwclnfurth order , minus the lust of
the Hockford heaven. Schwelnfurth's dupes
consisted f petty fools nnd cranks. Over
these ho wielded a magnetic or hypnotic
Influence so great that their silly minds
transformed moral Infamy and greed Into
ccle'tIM virtues. The Sage of Aru oper
ated In circles of lofty cult , nnd nmong
those searching for the unattainable sought
and secured recruits for the order of Sat
B'Hal Kooha. The rich alone could at
tain the lofty heights of mystic glory , hence
the sage confined his philanthropic efforts
to that class.
The principal dupes of the modern prince
of Impostors nnd his wife were Qulntus
and Celsus Price , sons of General Price of
Missouri ; Or. Sylvester L. Nldelet. Mr.
Jo&peh Specht , the St. Louis millionaire ,
nnd his wife , their family , consisting of a
married daughter , Mrs. Tlieoiloio A. Mor-
rey , a jounger daughter , Adelaide , the sons ,
Joseph A. Specht and Edward P. Specht ,
and Mrs. W. L O. B. Allen , also of St.
Louis. I
CONFIDENCED THE CULT.
A dozen years ago n group of St. Loulsnns
began to study spiritualism , Buddhism and
theosophy. The Prices were leaders In
the movement , which gradually dwindled
away nnd collapsed. The brothers per
sisted In their missionary schemes , and as
early ns 1884 were In correspondence with
the mysterious Howard. A Dr. Richmond
appeared In St. Louis nbout this time and
began Imbuing the cult with a mysterious
religion , nn Incomprehensible jumble of ex
isting systems. Richmond disappeared sud
denly , leaving nothing but a reputation for
bucking the tiger.
" The Prlco brothers were formally In
ducted Into the Howard cult In 1884 , and
Dr. Nldelot In 18S5. The latter was then
a man of CO years , eminent In his profes
sion , a man ot means , and family phj si-
clan for the Spechts. In pursiuncs of the
ritual of the order of Sat B'Hai Kooha , Cel
sus Price and Dr. Nldelet undertook to
perform n sort of penance to purify them
selves before taking the final degree. After
converting their property Into cash , which
the rules required should go Into the treai-
ury of the Sago of Aru , the pair disappeared
from St. Louis and began their novitiate
on the northern borders of New York state
Two years later Celsus Price returned to
St. Louis , bringing with him credentials cf
his appointment as herald of the now re
ligion. Dr. Ntdclet was still In the vo
catlve , and Celsus' lips were scaled as to
his whereabouts v It develops , ' "however ,
that he was at Ogdensburg , N. Y. . and was
kept out of poverty's clutches by liberal
remittances from Mrs Specht.
HOWARD ON THE SCENE.
Accompanjlng Celsus Price was the now
famous Dr. Granby Stnnton Howard.
Though confes lng to over 60 years of age ,
he looked more like a well preserved man
of 45 or 50. Ho was of commanding pro
portions , six feet two-Inches In height and
weighing fully 200 pounds. A full , Iron
gray beard , grown to a point , covered his
face. Ills hair , long and wavy , was
combed bick In the fashion given to the
poets and men of mystery. He was broad
shouldered and well proportioned. But bib
face was the center of interest. It would
have attracted attention In any crowd. Once
aeon It was never forgotten. It was of a
dark , olive complexion ; the cheek bones
were high , the nose was large and ac-
qulllno , with thinly chlsled and sensitive
nostrils. The eyes were broad bet , rather
prominent , brown and soft when quiet , black
nnd piercing when excited or angrjHis
eyebrows were arched nnd heavy. HI-
forehead was of medium height and slight ! )
retreating.
In addition to his attractive appearance his
conversational powers were bewitching His
volco was soft and Insinuating. He had a
string of titles and orders conferred upon
him by the monarchs of the old woild , who
seemed to vie with each other in honoring
him far various unrecorded deeds and benefi
cences. The oult of St. LouU Instantly
dropped on Its knees to worship him.
GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS ,
A class ot eighteen ladles , all prominent In
St. Louis society , was organized to sit at the
feet of Howard nnd learn the truth This
class soon simmered down to the proverbial
faithful few. These were : Mrs. Joseph
Specht , her daughter , Mrs. Eulalle Morrey ,
wife of T. A. Morrey , vice president of the
Enterprlso Brass company ; Mrs. W. L C.
D. Allen , wlfo of a prominent electrician ,
and Mrs. Margaret Garvey , editor of the St ,
Louis Spectator , a bright society paper.
Mrs. Garvey , too , cooled of In a year or two
and faded out of the cult. Mrs. Spccht and
Mrs Allen grew more and more devoted
to the cause ns time passed on. At this
time they were only clielas. Celsus Price
had become a herald. To none could the
full truth be told at once. Generally they
had to suspect It , and the doctor would leaden
on by slow degrees. The awful effulgence
of a full revelation would have produced
sudden death or paralysis.
The Sago of Aru , as Dr. Howard revealed
himself to these good people , claimed super
natural powers. He had his familiar fcplrlt
with whom ho held dally and constant con
versation. He could summon spirits from
the vasty deep , from Big Muddy , op from his
gripsack with equal facility He was con
stantly harassed by clementals , evil spirits
which sought to thwart his great projects
His dog was possessed with a demon He
was on cordial relations with Adonla and
the angel Gabriel. He bad Garibaldi and
Zanonl telc&coped by a rear-end collision ,
despite the chronological difficulties , but
that never phased him. His Intimacy with
cuccubl wns ot a scandalous nature. Ho
was a past master of occultism , a > ogl and
a true adept. He communed with the stars
and cast horoscopes several times a day.
Ho had frequent talkie-talks with mysteri
ous thlngummys In the Himalayas , not ns
the theotoplsts do overland , but directly
through the center of the earth. Rumesos
HI. was reincarnated In him. He could see
the clemcntals and familiar spirits around
people just ns easy as Solon Wiley can cop
per n veto. He knew more than the mnn
who wrote the dictionary nnd had forgotten
more knowledge than was In the encyclo
pedia.
THE ORDER OP SAT IVHAI KOOHA.
To the Prices , Dr. Nldelet , Mrs. Spccht
and Mrs. Allen ho further announced himself
an grand sponsor of the Occidental Brunch
of the Oriental Order ot the Sat B'Hal
Kooha. This mysterious order directed him
In all his actions through a council with
which ho was In frequent communication.
It had Its habitat In the Himalayas , and was
very mysterious , very utter and very dread
ful. 'Iho things It knew were awful. If
It hadn't been for the fact that Its mom *
hers lived forever , the oppressive weight of
the things they knew nnd hadn't ought to
would have killed them In the quarter
stretch.
"Dear Master , " "Dear Lord , " nro the
ravercnllnl terms which such IntolllRont
people ns the Prices , Dr. Nldelet , Mrs
Spccht nnd Mrs. Allen addressed to Dr.
Howard. The oath subscribed by the
Prices nnd Dr. Nldelet was heavily written
In script on ptrchmcnt paper In red. blue
nnd black Inks , with a group ot triangles ,
tombstone * nnd mjstlc circles nt the top.
Its blood-curdling obligations place In tlio
hands of Dr. Howard power to direct murder ,
robbery or any crime In tne calendar which
ho may sco fit to command of his subordi
nated.
The Sago of Aru used reams of paper In
working up the ritual of the order of Sat
B'Hal Kooha. There are rising , morning and
evening prayers. There nro Instructions to
cli&ses nnd ceremonies for Initiation. Thorn
nro lapses In the written ritual to be filled
In by oral Instructions and tliuro nro numer
ous degrees far beyond the ritual. Howard
possessed an cxtcnalvo library on astrology ,
lhautnaturgy , esoteric subjects , thcosopliy ,
secret societies and like mysterious topics ,
nnd studied them to good effect. The ritun
ot the Ancient Order of the Essenos has been
largely drawn upon.
EXTENT OP TUB SWINDLE.
Celsus Prlco had a small property , which
ho gradually disposed of nfter he fell under
the Influence of Dr. Howard. Every dolhr
of the proceeds went Into Howard's hands.
The 8.imo Is true of Dr. Nldclet's property.
In a small ledger which Howard left bohlm !
In his hurried flight are entries showing that
from January , 188C , to December , 1SS7 ,
Colonel Celsus Prlco gave Howard ever
$6,000 In sums from $30 to $3,000 The
snmo ledger shows that Dr. Nldelet was
dialned ns ruthlessly Ho gave up $5,352 In
1885 and 1S8C In various nmnunts from tlmo
to time. At this tlmo Dr. Howard wns
living on Stnten Island , N. Y. , with his wifa.
She , too , deserves n pirjgraph. While the
doctor's speech bears no trace of English
accent , his wlfo wns a cockney from the
word. She Is short and fat , ghastly-faced ,
blick-oycd , and a lover of good liquors
The cellar of the Howard house was left
littered with champagne bottles She was
a fceercss of the Ann O'Della Diss Debar
school , saw sights , had visions and went
Into trnnces. Dr Howard kept a yacht
whllo on Staten Island , and Mrs. Howard's
health was Improved by pleasant sails up
nnd down the coast nnd as far east as New-
pert. The money obtained from Prlco and
N'ldelet enabled them to live gnyly several
years When the money market got tight
he left Staten Island nnd went to Montreal ,
where we find him In 1830 at 209 St Antolne
street , In a , rather poor section of the Trench
quarter. Celsus Price was with him part
of the tlmo , and , his money being gone , ho
raised moro through his brother Qulntus for
Hcwnrd. Howard's practice In Montreal was
fugitive nnd uncertain. Having no diploma
he had to walk warily not to encounter tlio
authorities.
THE ST. LOUIS SCHEME.
Dr. Howard's St. Louis scheme was laid
with consummate skill. Iho Spechts vvoro
millionaires and generous to n fault. He
knew this nnd determined to take udvnntngo
of It. His correspondence with Mrs. Spccht ,
who now wns peunitted to Identify him as
the Sage of Aiu , most artfully paved the
way.
way.The
The formation of the class soon followed ,
and by the tlmo Mrs Spxcht hnd taken the
vows of Chowdranl In the Occidental branch
of the Oriental Order of Sat B'Hal Kooha
Ills web was woven. He gradually Instilled
Into her mind the Idea which ho wished to
advance and by the working of which n vast
fortune could be at his disposal. Ho wanted
to found a monastery of the older nt some
suitable place , where the chehs under the
holy vows should prepare themselves for Int.
tlatlon. Mrs. Specht , .already strongly dls.
posed to mysticism , nnd a convert to the
Indo-Brahmanlsm of the Sat B'Hal Kooha ,
was favorable to the Idea. It would bo
necessary for her to have funds. Sat B'Hal
Kooha had over $40,000,000 , ho said , In Its
Hymalajan home , but It was one of the In
violable laws of the order that each branch
should be self-supporting. A few thousand
would bo sufficient to set the ball a-rolllng ,
ind then the needed funds , ho. nrgued , would
pour In. Mr. Specht , n busy man of tbo
world , was proud of his wife's Intellectual
ability , her prominent social position , and
had unbounded confidence In her Judgment.
Ho , lee , was Impressed by the striking Indi
viduality of Dr Howard. It was no difficult
matter for Mrs Specht to secure the promise
of the monoy.
Dr Howard returned to Montreal and the
scheme advanced. He struck Mr. Spccht for
J-tOO to go home on. In July , 1890 , Joseph
A. Specht , the elder son , was sent to Dr.
Howard's Montreal homo to study medicine.
Ho had been n wayward young man nnd had
developed n strong tendency to slngo his
money nnd sow his wild oats with a drill ,
the ordinary hand process being too slow.
The Influence of the Sago ot Aru , It was
thought , would bo beneficial. The sago
thought so , too , for he was to receive $125
per month for the young man's care. Young
Specht found the Montreal home In rather
straitened circumstances , but It shortly Im
proved under the benign Influence of the St ,
Louis checks , cash In advance. He did not
loam much medicine but ho caught on to
the sago's curves In short order. His knowl
edge ot the ways of the world stood him In
good stead. Qulntus Price arrived shortly
after. For two years he , too , had , under
the doctor's thumb , yielded about $2,000 to
his gentle pressure. Ho had aided Dr. How
ard In his Montreal business , which con
sisted principally In a rather dubious attempt
to sell to an Incredulous public his quack
medicine called Orion's Hormatlcus.
DRAWING IN THE NET.
By the latter part of August , 1S91 , plans
were matured for the purchase of a place at
Gunston , Va. , on the Potomac , twenty miles
below Washington , where the order would
establish its mystery Howard and tha
Spechts had boon advised of this location
thioiiKh Mrs. Stewart of Cleveland , a sister
of Mib W. L. 0. B. Allen of St. Louis , one
of the Clielas , or pupils.
It had been Mr. Specht's purpose to buy
a summer homo In the east. An examina
tion ot Gunston hall showed that It would
bo out of reach of the $5,000 which had been
promised Dr. Howuid , and Mr. Spccht bought
It for himself , Howard making arrange
ments to purchase a near-by property.
Dr. Howard had already abandoned Mon
treal for Gunston. Th first $1,000 of the
promised sum was put In his hands. He
paid $10 to the owner of the property he was
about to purchase. That was the last cent
she got. Later he tried to talk her out of
money due her. On Its receipt ho hied him
to Washington , and returned In a brand new
buggy hitched to a dashing nag. His Canaan
had arrived. This was early September. Ho
had told Mrt. Spfcht that It was necessary
to have all the money before the September
equinox on account of planetary Influences.
Mr Specht had been told that members of
the order would do all the work of erecting
buildings , attending to the plan , etc. . but
the Sago of Aru hired carpenters In Wash
ington at $5 a day to rus.li a couple of cheap
shanties up , which enabled him to stand off
the demands of the owner of the property
for more funds. . . . .
Mr. Specht had been Informed that only
Dart of the $5,000 would bo needed that year.
Within three weeks ho had honored night
drafts for the whole amount. Things boomed
at Gunston L wn mowers , farming tools ,
huge carts , nnd paraphernalia ot a big planta
tion wore shipped down from Washington ,
though the Howard place was only five acres.
Mr Specht looked on In amazement , but by
his wife's persuablon kept his protests to
himself.

THE RUPTURE.

determined to force the light. Returning to

ho had a conference , and Tuesday , May 8 ,

received them sitting : on his sofaltli it

"Since you nre not disposed to tell mo , I

A good story of General Sheridan was told
the other day by a Mexican , an Intlmata
friend of the great northern soldier In his
lifetime , sajs the Boston Herald. One day ,
calling on the commander of the army nt his
otllce In Washington , ho found him at his
desk , his feet encased In slippers and hi *
shoes democratically placed on the top of his
desk. While the general was apparently ab
sorbed In some writing , the Mexican gentleman -
man , who thought homo servant had loft
the warrior's shoes In the wrong place , toolt
his cane and gently deposited the shoes on
the floor. The next day the Mexican called
again on Sheridan and found him at hli
desk , shoes on top , as before. The polite
resident of the tropics began once more re
moving the bhoes to the floor , when all at
once Sheridan roared out : ,
"Don't > ou do that again , sir ! You male *

"I beg your pardon , general , but how hav
