DalUy and Carter , the two men who were arrested at the driving park during the last racing meeting , were brought out for an examination yesterday afternoon. Charles Ilnber , It will be remembered , found a man's hand In his pocket while watching the race. Ho grabbed hold of the fellow's wrist by a sudden movement and kept him until Ofll- ccr Claar came up and tdok him In charge. During the several minutes that clasped Huber had a chance to examine the fel low's looks closely , and might have been supposed to remember that he was a small man , rather heavy set , with smooth face. Yesterday , however , the fact was devel oped that a man's memory Is likely to go back on him when least expected. Huber told all the details of the affair as straight as a string , until It came to give a descrip tion of the pickpocket. The fellow was tall and slim , and had a sandy moustache. This description fit Carter , who had not been arrested until fully half an hour after Huber hsd turned Ifi ley over to the police. He stuck to the story In spite of all the efforts that were made to remind him of his mis take. take.As As the prosecuting witness himself went back on the case in this queer manner , there was nothing left but to discharge Oalley. Carter's case was then dismissed , Huber being nowhere to be found. FACTS WUltTII KNOWINO. lloucMi Store , Council til tiff * , Iowa.

' Clenvcr Joins I'lnurec. H. S. Plngree , mayor of Detroit , where the Pullman branch factory Is located , tele graphed Mayor Cleaver of this city In the following wise Monday : "Will you Join mo In requesting George M. Pullman to settle this great difficulty by ar bitration ? I have sent this telegram to the mayors of fifty cities. " To this Mayor Cleaver replied as follows : "I think It absolutely necessary for the government at once to devise some means for settling present differences and to pre vent , If possible , the recurrence of like con ditions. " Mayor Plngree had evidently not decided himself Just what he wanted to do , for Mayor Cleaver received the following from him In reply : "Will you join In a petition to congress for the submission of an amendment to the con stitution , If necessary , under which laws may be enacted for the submission of Inter state labor troubles to arbitration ? I have , sent this telegram to the mayors of 100 cities. " "I will certainly do so , " was Cleaver's re ply. Whether this is the end of the conver sation does not yet appear , but the Impres sion seems to bo pretty general that both sides will have to takea new tack If they expect their back talk ever to achieve the fame of the dialogue that took place between the governor of North Carolina and the gov ernor of South Carolina. Wonderful Mjnd Reading. . Prof. Print ? , who Is connected with Dr. O. W. Partly of the Umatllli Indian Medi cine company , gave a startling demonstra tion of his wonderful powers of mind readIng - Ing by finding a plh which Chief of Police Scanlan had hidden In some part of the city unknown to the professor. The chief was token by the hand , and thus the professor led him from the Indian camp , on Broad way near Eighth street , along the busy streets to the police sta tion. Hero the professor found the pin , which had been hidden In a drawer inside the sife. This pro&f of the wonderful mind- reading power posessed by Prof. Prlntz caused no little sensation , especially In po lice circles. It Is tint a specimen of the test he Is submitting to every night at the entertainment given at the Indian camp.

The prevailing distemper struck the Man- nwa railway yesterday morning nnd there were no tralnj run cither to or from the lake until 1:30 : p. m. The four engineers struck on account ot a reduction In their pay by Manager Reed. The cauc ; of the strike was a change In the schedule of trains. Under the old schedule six trains were run from 9 a. m. to 3 p. in. , nnd after that trains were run every twenty-two min utes until 11:55 : p. m. The engineers re ceived 20 cents a round trip , and so were able to get along very well. By the new schedule Manager Reed reduces the number of trains from 9 n. m. to 2 p. m. to three , and runs trains every twenty-two minute * from 5 p. m. until 11:55 : p. m. The engineers thought thnt to work nine hours for HO cents and eighteen hours for $2 was a little too much , and they accordingly quit work. All during the morning people thronged the corner of Broadway and Ninth street wait ing for a train to take them to the lake. After a great deal of Inconvenience to the public Manager Reed succeeded In getting men to take the place of the dissatisfied engineers , and a train was run to the lake at 1:30 : p. m. _ The Eagle laundry plant has been greatly erlarged and Improved , and we are now prepared - pared to Him out n large amount of strictly first-class work.

The Impression among local Knights of Labor seems to be that the general strike ordered for this morning at 7 o'clock will not particularly affect the people of this locality. A meeting of worklngmen was held last evening at Liberty hall , behind closed doors , but from what could be gathered after the meeting It seems that the > members of the unions generally are not particularly taken with the Idea of walking out Just at this present time.

There arc over 3,000laboring men em ployed In South Omaha , and the result of a request calling all of the men out today can only be gueised at. The men In the pock ing houses have not been getting In full time by u long way , ami this fact may have a tendency to Induce some to strike who would otherwise stny at their posts of duty. The majority do not belong to the Knights of Labor or nny other society. Those who are perfectly satisfied with their wages and hours will be likely to remain In and the others may quit. One of the foremen In a large picking house said : "A few days ago , when this strike was first talked of , there was not half a dozen men who spoke of walking out to help along the strike. Since that time the papers have had so much to say and the situation has been so thoroughly dis cussed that there Is now such a strong feelIng - Ing of sympathy for the Pullman strikers that I would not be surprised If a good many of the men would quit today If they are requested to do so by organized labor. " "Will the men who walk out be dis charged ? " was asked. "I cannot say as to that. My Idea would be to pay them off up to date , however , und then when the trouble Is over It can be de termined who will flll the vacancies. If any of my men quit work I will certainly pay them off. " Hut little slaughtering has been going on of late In the hog killing departments of any of the local houses. The bulk of the hops bought on the market have been re loaded and shipped east. As a consequence a great many men In the hog departments have been off for the last three or four days. The packers have Increased their force of watchmen all around. This was not clone through any particular fear of trouble , but Is simply a step of precaution. The packers have their cellars and store rooms filled with pork stuff fcnd do not care to kill any more at present , us It Is still uncertain whether or not cars can bo se cured to carry the product away. The switchmen employed by the Stock Yards company , who do all the trala work for the packers , seem to be very well satis fied with their lot. It Is doubtful If one of them could be Induced to quit work on ac count of a sympathetic strike. They claim that they have no grievance , and , therefore , are not Interested. The majority of these switchmen are married men and own their homes here. The foremen of the gangs In the several houses were hustling among their men last night to ascertain what the men Intended to do. Several small meetings were held , but no definite action was taken. At least the men said they had not decided yet what they would do. _ . Smiley Itcfusenito Smile. Mr. Smiley , a man ' 'who deals In dead hogs , was wrathy when he read In The Bee yesterday that all 'dead animals taken from the stock yards .would have to be hauled on cars instead .of . : wagons , according to an ordinance passed at a meeting of the city council Monday inlgit. ) "They are bound to run me out of busi ness , " said Mr. Smiley j as he wiped the perspiration from his brow , and swore vengeance. "They cau goito Alaska with their ordinance for all I care. . I propose to con tinue doing business In- , the same manner I have In the pist , and ; If they want to ar rest me. let them do gaj" Just then Councilman. Kyan hove In sight and Smiley gave him' the cold shot that it was useless for a poor/devil Jo , try to dp anything , with a city .Council ? that was owned and controlled " \ > y , corporation's. Mr. Uyan gave Smiley one "ot his Third ward smiles and walked away. Thieves Contlnnn to Plunder. The police have so far been unable to de tect the gang that has been robbing right and left In this locality for the last three weeks. Monday night a rocking chair was stolen from the sidewalk In frop.t of Mr. Tlckner's restaurant at Twenty-seventh and N streets. Mr. TIckner had been resting In the chafr and while he stepped In the house- for a moment some one got away with the chair. Thieves also entered the basement of his place and carried away a largi-slzed milk can filled with milk. After using Mr. Tlck- ner'e largo lamp Until they collected what articles they wanted to steal , tliey blew out the lamp and even took It along. It was perhaps the same gang that made a ' desperate effort to break Into the la'rke smoke house at the Hammond plant. While In the act of prying open a window they were dis covered by a watchman and driven away. A Forger with a Nerve. There Is a young man who Juggles the cognomen of J. M. Sessions , who has a gall that would look well In a frame. A short time ago ho drifted Into Otto Mau'fer's saloon and passed a forged check , securing $18. A warrant was Issued for his arrest , and the police have been looking for the lad ever since. He signed the name of P. E. Short to the check. Mr. Short Is manager of the horse barn at the stock yards , and Is well known. Yesterday "Sessions" had the nerve to come back to South Omaha and pass a similar check for ? 25 on Durnottc Bros. He also got rid of two or three smaller checks and Is still at large. There Is a suspicion that "Sessions" has an accomplice In his transactions. _ lilff Day lit the YurilB. Yesterday was the biggest day In the history of the South Omaha stock yards , In so far as stock receipts were concerned. The total number of cars received was 4S9 ; 327 cars contained cattle , 1G1 contained hogs and there was one car of sheep. The largest number of cars ever received In a single day before was 420. The scene about the yards was a busy one , but the sales were not any more extensive than they have been on days when the receipts were much lighter. _ .Mil Bio City ( iuBiilp.

LONDON , July lO.-The correspondent of the Standard nt Constantinople Hays : At the moment of the.first earthquake 1 was In the dining room of the Ottoman bank.

The banks nnd other financial establishments In the suburb of Galata were abandoned by the employes after the first shock. In every open ppnco crowds of people were gathered , being nfrald to enter their houses. Passing through Pera I entered the well known public garden of Petlts Champs. It was crowded with panle-fltrlcK- en Inhabitants and Is likely to remain so all night. In Galata a building fell , burying the Inmates. The streets were strewn with telegraph poles and wires. As I am writIng - Ing this dispatch reports reach me of much damage to property and luss of life In Stamboul , the bazars having suffered In particular , but time has not been allowed me to verify the statements. As I wus going dwon the back staircase , however , 1 noticed Stnmboul appeared to be. . covered with a mist or dust. In all there were three distinct shocks , the last two being the most violent , which were felt Una morning. Each was accompanied by u loud rumbling noise which I nt llrst took for the crash or falling buildings. Several houses fell In Stamboul. In Galata the shock was severe nnd the near quays were reduced to a ruin. Many- persons were killed nnd injured. The shock was felt In Its full peverity In the villages bordering on the Bo.sphorus nnd the s a of Mnmora. Most of the buildings there suf fered damage , nnd some were ruined com pletely. It Is believed fifty persons have lost their lives , nml that the Injured fur exceed that figure. The loss to property will be Very large. There have also been severe shocks of earthquake In Smyrna , the Island of Sclo nnd In the Dardanelles. No damage was done as far as known , but telegraphic communication between those places and Constantinople has been cut off and details have not been received. The Dally News correspondent says : Yes terday's earthquakes are the severest that have been felt within nny living memory. Thousands of windows were broken and dozens of walls cracked. There is scarcely a street In Stamboul which does not con tain debris. LATEST XEtt .S t'ltUM.I M'AIl. Trouble I-Yured When tno New Constitution Is Promulgated. VICTORIA. July 10. Hon. Sam Damon , minister of finance of the provisional gov ernment of Hawaii , arrived this morning on the Wnrrlmo. lie declares that his bus iness Is strictly private. He says he be lieves he will be In the same position in the new cabinet , but does not know how long he will hold the place. Beyond that he would say nothing. There was a public meeting of royalists at Honolulu July 9. The new constitution wns denounced. Old rumors of trouble were revived. The reports were that there would be trouble on July 4 , when the constitution was to be promulgated nnd sworn In. As a safeguard the government doubled the num ber of guards on duty. It was asserted nt Honolulu that William Cornwall , ex-rnlnlster of finance , offered the heads of the American League Schutzen club $10,000 to come over to the queen. The extreme annexatlonlsts are now suspicious of Admiral \Valker , because he went on a fishing party with Parker and Wlldeman. The crew of the AVarrlmo report that there was no chknire in the Samoan situa tion Since the" Monowai sailed. Greater and more valuable deposits of gold are being found at Coolgardle.

Several Union Pacific machinists and blacksmiths called nt the police station last night and attempted to secure the arrest of George Grebe , a fe.llow who has recently been employed in the shops. The men said that they had arranged for a picnic next Saturday , and that the committee gave Grebe 100 tickets to sell for that purpose it 73 cents each. The ticket sellers were tc hive returned their cash nnd tickets last night , biit when they went to look for Grebe they could not find him , and they afterward learned that he had disposed of $40 worth of the tickets and was spending the money at a lively rate. At one place the commltteemen said that they were In formed that he had traded tickets for drinks , and they believed that he was trying to defraud them. They could not find the judge nnd were advised to wait until this morning before filing a complaint against Grebe. Movements of Seagoing Vessels July 1O. At San Francisco Arrived Bawnmore.
