THE OaiAIL/V. / DALLY BE12 : SATUKDAY , itfOVEMBETl 2-1 , 1804. 5 WHERE MAJORS IS MODEST Quito Ready to Contest at the Btato'a Expense , FAITH IN HIS CAUSE SKIN DEEP Wet Confident Ilnough of tlio Vlrluo of llli to Itlsk a Dollar on the HcMlIt Jtcforo the legis lature. LINCOLN , Nov. 23. ( Spoclat.-If the itatc of Nebraska will foot the bill Tom Majors would llko a recount of votes In the next legislature. Otherwise It Is quite cvl- dent that he la not yearning for a contesl requiring any outlay of coin on his part As a party , republicans ore strongly agalnal nny further monkeying with the question Kxpcclnlly Is this true In regard to tin Lincoln and South 1'latto aspirants for tin Unltotl States senatorolilp. They want noth. Ing sprung In the legislature calculated t < complicate that iiuestlon which Is alreadj sufficiently bedeviled by other combinations A majority of the legislators elect whc drop Into Lincoln dally arc bitterly opposci to any bill or resolution looking to a recount II. T. Clark , who is registered today at tin Lincoln , Bays .there Is nothing In the report as far as ho knows , of any meeting Imvln ; been held today with a view of agreelnj upon any form of contest. There was n < notice of such contest fllcd today with thi secretary ot state. Hut In the face of all this Tom Majori dies hard , politically. It la cold truth thai lie Is surrounded by as loyal an old guari as over rose and fell with the fluctuating fortunes of Napoleon. A marked point o distinction may , however , be noticed bctwcei these respective old guards. Those who an now dancing attendance on Majors are to : revenue only. They derive no glory from It and meet with a great deal ofsnubblni from their republican friends who concede thi honorable and fair election of Judge Hotcomb They alone are the ones who have so In dustrlously fanned tlio flames under the "con test" pot , and kept It boiling- long after thi succulence of such soup had evaporated. . Uu If the state would only foot the bill Ton Majors and his old guard would go Into thi state capital at the risk ot total dlsruptloi of the republican party. I'U'RIl PUBPAUINQ FOR WORK.

" There Is very llttlo new In the matte Officers have very llttlo to say In regard I -what they may or may not bo prepared I prove.

It Bald that one of the students or Janlto : told the officers at the time of the arrc that the body had been borne up stairs i the coltego on the shoulders of some of tl students and that ho was one ot the corpi bearers at the time. Another student reported to have explained to the office how "stiffs" arc stolen In such a realist way that his hearers readily concluded th ; he was not "paired" with any other par at the time of the body snatching.

GETTING THEIR KNIVES OUT Bock Island Leads OIF in a Bate light that May Be Lively , BETWEEN MISSOURI POINTS AND CHICAGO All Competing Komi * Dutillcnto the Quotu * tloim nnil the I'rolmMllty Is Unit OmalmVIII lie Inrnlvcd When Itatci Uo Into ICITcct. There la consternation In the ranks ot the railroads centering tn Omaha with Chicago connrctlons. Demoralization of rates has be come a by-word In Kansas City and the Hock Island , with a grim determination of punish ing the aggressors In reducing rates , liat served notice on the Interstate Commerce commission that on next Tuesday passcngei rates from Kansas City , Leavcnworth , Atchl < son and St. Joseph to Chicago will bo reduced to $9.50 , as against $12.60 , the present rate. This re duction , the Rock Island announces In a tele gram to general agents In the territory af fected , Is made on account of the existing demoralization ot eastbound rates. The Ilurllngton has given notice that II will meet the KansasClty-Chlcago rate made by the Hock Island , and the AVabash , to car the climax , now announces that tt will make a $5 rate from Kansas City to St. Louis and return to protect Its St. Louis business be cause of the cut announced by the UocV Island and Burlington from Chicago to Kansaj City. City.This This Is the commencement of what prom ises to be a general rate war growing oul of the collapse ot the Western Passenger as sociation. Whether these reduced rates to Chlcagc will be extended to Omaha is still an unset tled question In the mind ot Mr. Join ; Francis , general passenger agent of the Durllngton. In a talk had with htm thii morning he was Inclined to debate the con ditions leading up to the present demoraliza tion at length , but to leave- his proposed ac tion dependant upon the meeting of genera ! passenger agents called for Chit-ago nexl Monday. "It has been our contention that towns or the lower Missouri river should b'e favored no more than Omaha , " said Mr. Francis "This has been the policy of the Durllngtor for years. If tlio rates go Into effect Tucs day they will probably be applied fron Omaha as well as from Kansas City. Dili a meeting of the Western Passenger nssoeln tlon has been called for next Monday in Chicago cage , and the temper of that meeting ma ] decide that the Caesarcan method may not bi necessary as a final resort to save the pa tlent. At the last moment the Hock Islam may conclude to withdraw Its determlnatioi to cut the rates , In which event the Burling ton will certainly concur. So you sc ? it li ImpossIBIo for us to tell Just now what tin action of the Burlington will be. At presen It looks very much as If the Hock Island hac determined to put In the reduced rates , bu conditions may vitally change between nov and Tuesday. Whatever Kansas City am the towns on the lower Missouri gain fron reduced rates the Burlington feels shouh be enjoyed by Omaha and the places taklni the same rate. That has always been ou : policy , we see no reason why wo shouli change It now. " The Missouri Pacific , not to be outdone li the. general demoralization , announces tha if the UurllDgton puts In the rate quotci above from Omaha it will make a correspond Ing reduction from Omaha to St. Louis ; an Mr. Phllllppl thought the rate would b $8.50 from Omaha Instead ot $11.50 to pro tect its Interests. This rate will be dupll cated by the Wabash the moment the Bur llngton extends Us cut to Omaha. Undoubtedly the conditions are strained and if the rates as promulgated by the Roc Island go Into effect Tuesday they will b applied to Omaha and then the gonen demoralization will be complete. General Passenger Agent Lomax of th Union Pacific , who was in Snn Francisc Thursday telegraphed Chairman Caldwell tha he desired to attend the meeting of passer ger officials called In Chicago for Mondaj but as It was impossible for htm to b present , asked that the meeting be postpone until Wednesday. The result of the con fsrence by wire between Mr. Lomax an Chairman Caldwell could not be learnet but In the event the meeetlng Is postpone thcro is no reason to suppose that the Roc Island will withdraw Its announced Kansa City-Chicago rat ? , and the bars will b down. For several days railroad people hereabout have admitted the conditions were ver serious , but thought wisdom would preva and the threatened reduction to Chlcag averted. Now they are of one mind , tha a few days only will Intervene before th cut Is actively applied to Omaha business. CANADIAN KAILHOAU SCIIUUU. Kffort of the Cnnndlnti 1'nclflo to Tap th < > nmt Trunk Territory. NEW YORK , Nov. 23. A special dlspatc from Buffalo to the Evening Post saye Oneot the largest Canadian railway project slnco the scheme ot the Canadian Paclfl railway across the continent was first moote has been evolved by the Hamilton Radlt Railway Company of Hamilton , Ontario , a association of Canadian and United State capitalists. Their scheme Is to bul'd a ncl work of railroads , steam and electric , rt dialing from Hamilton , and connecting- wit the more Important cities and towns of west cm Ontario , the main object being to dlvei trade , to Hamilton , while the ulterior objec 4s best explained by a letter from an office ot the company , who asks that his name t not revealed at this time. He says : "W Intend to build a first-class road and connet at Woodstock , Toronto and other points wit the Canadian Pacific railway. The eleotrici part of the system will likely bo the lines 1 Berlin and Guelph. and for these the roadbe and plants will be fully up to flrst-clai steam railroad requirements. The Niagat Falls branch will be continued to Buffalo an the 22S miles which compose tho. system wl reach over one-third ot the populatlc ( nearly 700,000) ) of Ontario , and tap the rlc farming community. All ot this territoi Is at present served only by the Grar Trunk railway , and as the total capltallzi tlon of this road will be lesa than one-quarti of that ot tlio Grand Trunk and tho. bone will have ten years' Interest paid up , U thought the stockholders will have a fa chance for bigdividends. . "Wo expect to build a line to makequlc connections between Buffalo and Octroi as noneot the grades between Suspcnslc Bridge and Woodstock on our line , will 1 over thirty-five feet to the mile. " It Is believed that this scheme has tl favor. It not the actual co-operation , of tl Canadian Pacific , which haa been seeking short line between Detroit and Buffalo f several years. The South Ontario Paclfl already built to Woodstock , Is a branch the Canadian Pacific railroad , and the rece avowal ot the. Niagara and Hlver Electr company , that that road shall bo extend' ' to Buffalo next spring gives color to tl statements In the letter above quoted. Tl Canadian , Pacific standard rail will be use llurllngton Will Meat thu Itatn. CHICAGO , Nov. 25.

Of the huntli hat he has had this fall Mr. Boylan spol is follows : "During the twelve years that I have spo : , n northwestern Nebraska I have never se < so many hunting outfits as I have this yea and , as a consequence , the birds are preti well thinned out. > The flight this year wi not very heavy , most of the birds going ovi he country about 200 miles further wee This Is about the border line of Chen county , where the flight has been the hea\ est of many years. There have also been great many birds In the southern part Dakota , and I missed it by not going- the : 'or my fall hunting. I do not try for ai argo game , but spend most of my time shooting quail , snipe , prairie chicken , duck geese and other birds. I usually hunt f four months In the fall beginning with tl opening ot the season and again tn tl spring. This year , however , the results ha- not been Urge , and I am going to Arkansa where I understand the hunting Is very goo Last year I killed 5,553 smaller birds at over 600 geese. This year I have broug down about 3.500 birds. I have the reput tlon of being one of the most successf hunters In the state.

" "Tho troubla that you people In this cl are having In the trial ot Payne Is anoth proof ot the failure of our present Jury ey tern. " said a Chicago lawyer In the rotuni of the Paxton yesterday. "Under this ay tern -the only men who are allowed to gen on a Jury are those who are absolute Ignorant. A man who keeps up with t times by reading the newspapers haa possible show ot getting on. The hlghc qualification tor a Juror Is that he shoi know nothing , and how can such a m weigh the. evidence In a murder trial ? Su a system absolutely places a premium Ignorance.

Several months later one of the sons died , also after a long Illness , and application for the In- urance money was made by the mother. The loctor's certificate showed that the son lta.il lied of the same complaint as the father. > company became somewhat suspicious and telegraphed their agent In the ton to In- estlgate the matter. The body had not yet > een .burled nnd he proceeded to the residence vitli a physician to examine It. After some llfllculty they were allowed admittance. The body was very emaciated and an Hcislon bout four Inches in length was founi directly ver the bowels. Further examination showed hat all the Internal organs of the body had been removed except a small portion oi ono of hem. This part waa examined by an expert liemlst and at the inquest he swore that this lart alone contained enough mercury to kill Ix men. The body of the father was dlsln- erred and although It was considerably de composed parts of the Internal organs were xamlned by chemists and they were found to > e saturated with mercury. It later de veloped that the doctor In attendance on both ho men had prescribed mercury tablets for llslntectant purposes. The woman had evl- iently given them to her husband and son In rder to murder them and obtain the Insur ance on their lives. She undoubtedly ex pected that the company would becoma E > US- ilclous and had removed the organs from her son's body In the hope that thus she would remove all traces of the poison. On the wit ness stand she explained their absence by saying that two unknown men had entered ler house the night tefore at 2 o'clock In the nornlng and requested to see her son's body. ihe consented and they went Into the room , > ut she did not go with them. An hour later they left with a bundle and drove away In a wagon toward the country. The organs were never found , although a very thorough search was made for them. " A. S.

FATHER DUCEY ADMONISHED Jailed Down for His Interest Shown in tlio Overtnrow pf Tammany. MUST KEEP AWAY FROM LEXOW INQUIRY ArohMshop CorrlRim Ho orcly Iteprlnmiuls Him for Ills \Vorlt for llie 1'urlflcattim ot 1'olltlcs la Now York The 1'rlofs Itepljr , NEW YORK , Nov. 23. Relations between Uov. Father Ducey of St. Leo's church and Archbishop Corrlgan are very much strained. The constant attendance of Father Ducey upon the sittings ot the Lexow committee lavs brought upon him the censure of the rchblshop. The priest received a letter of admo'nltlon upon the subject from his cc- leslasttcal superior a few days ago In which he archbishop took him to task for taking ucli a prominent part In the meetings of thu Lcxow committee. In his letter Archbishop Corrlgan admonished Father Ducey to abstain n the future from attending these sessions f the committee without permission from ilin. In the course ot a somewhat lengthy etter which he sent In reply Father Ducay said : "I regret to have received this evidence of your excellency's want ot appreciation of ny persistent devotion and sacrifice In the nterest of truth , morality and religion. For rears I felt that you should be , next to the y father now reigning , the greatest factor for good In the whole Catholic world. Unfor tunately I am forced to say that here In New York the great power In the work for good and humanity ot the Catholic church has 3een thrown to the wind and we are now reap ing the whirlwind. I am not the only man who believes and thinks the greatest opportu nity heaven has thus given to the Catholic church since- the days of our Lord and his apoitles for good has been sacrificed In the city of New York. Had the church openly acted with courage In opposing the corruption and corrupters of this great city , the Catho lic church would have gloried throughout the world. Now Dr. Parkhurst has won. " Continuing Father Ducey declares ho Is sur- prited that Archbishop Corrlgan should be "pained" at a course which has merited the recognition of the most distinguished citizen ! of the United States. "There is nothing Ir my course , now that the election Is over , a ; you say , " he.continues , "that calls for tht vindication of the sanctity of the prlcsthoot by you , so far as my conduct Is concerned I do not know In what way I have exposed myself lo receive 'canonical admonition * and I cannot see why I should 'be commanded tt abstain from going to the sessions ot tin Lexow committee without permission In writ Ing' from your excellency. I have given mj word that I would attend these sessions o this committee to Its close when not pre vented by my duties. I know full well tha I In no way transcend my rights as a pries by my Interest In the Lexow Investigation. " In his letter Father Ducey says In regan to the rumor about his attendance at thi Loxow committee as a representative of thi holy see : "I trust you will be pleased tha I have most carefully safeguarded the arch diocese of New York throughout the country I know your excellency will be pained to lean that I have In my keeping manuscript evl dence from tha very hlgho t autturlty recognlz Ing. that here In the city of New York we hav the front and citadel of the opposition to th wishes ot the holy see. " In conclusion Fathe Ducey says , "I shall bo greatly pleased I your excellency .will Inform mo under wha canonical rules you forbid my presence a any further sessions ot the Lexow commit lee. " Father Ducey denies that he has ag pealed to the higher authority of Mgr , Sato ) ! or that he has conferred upon the subjec with eccloalaata supposed to bo opposed t the general course of Archbishop Corrlgan. "I feel entirely competent , " said Fathe Ducey , "la the nresnt Juncture of affairs t Hayden Bros , JAPANESE SILKS.

" Father Ducey , when asked If ho would ttend future sittings of the Lexow commlt- ee , evaded the question by saying : "At resent I am a soldier In the ranks.
