STATE RESTS IN PAYNE'S ' CASE last of the Testimony for the Prosecution Taken Yesterday , FURTHER EV.DENCE AS TO CONFESSIONS Will Tula. Up It * Side of tlio Trlnl Tomorrow Mumlng linn I'tfty Wlt- nc e to Kxamliifl IlutTlIng for Lacking 1'ces. VU 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the prose cution In the case against Sam Payne , ac cused of the murder of Maud Hubel , an nounced that It had no further evidence to offer , and the state rested. Judge Scott nn- nounccd that ho was ready to hear the de fense , but Attorney Tutlla was not ready to proceed. Ills witnesses were not present and the case was continued until Monday morning. The morning session ot the court was taken up with n rehash of the testimony ' timony concerning Sam Payne's contes- Blons to the police and newspaper men. Reporter Homing of the World-Herald was up for an hour telling the details of his talk with Payne In Captain Mcstyn's office at the police station. Sheriff Urexel testified to the talk that lie had with Paynent the timeho was tn Ing the prisoner to Lincoln , when It was thought necessary to get him out of Omaha on account of talks of lynching. At that tlmo Payne told the sheriff substantially the same statements as ho had given to Captain Mostyn , with the exception that ho said that he had been hired by Or. Brown to kill Maud Hubel and conceal her body In the Mcllugh building. Mrs. Hubel was placed on the stand to Identify the clothing which had been taken from the dead body. She Identified the bat , the dress skirt and rings and other articles of wearing appatol. She had not gone to the morgue , as she had been asked by her son to stay away from the place and try to remember Matii ) as she had seen her olive , nnd not to look upon the body In the condition In which It had been found. At the afternoon session Mrs. Hubel was submitted to a most rigid cross-examination , but her Identification of the clothing as that worn by her daughter was not shaken In any respect. Other women were called and testified to attempts on the part of Payne to Induce them to visit the Mcllugh building with him prior to the time ot his going thcro with Maud. It Is understood that there will be more than fifty witnesses called by the defense , nnd already there Is weeping and walling among them. It was decided at tlio be ginning of the trial that but fifteen witnesses for the defense would bo paid by the state , nnd now It appears that over fifty have been subpoenaed. Ono man has lost his position on account of having been compelled to at tend the trial , and a howl Is going up on all sides among the witnesses who have been Called In the case In Payne's behalf. AVon by the The city of Omaha won a decision In a per sonal Injury case In Judge Keysor's court yesterday. The case had several peculiar fea tures , and the decision established a rule for which the city's legal representatives have been contending for tame time. Mrs. William T. Marshall fell through a defective sidewalk and sustained Injuries more or leas severe. She brought suit against \ho city and secured a settlement. Immcdt ately thereafter her husband commenced , suit to recover $5,000 for his wife's services while she was disabled by reason of the accident. The city set up the defense that the required notice of the accident had not been served upon the city. In passing upon the case Judge Kcysor stated that If the city was lla- blo under the common law , Mr. Marshal would have cause of action , but If the city was not liable under the common la * the v plaintiff had no case. ' He decided that , a's the very law which provided for damages In such .cases also provided for the notlco of the ac cident , the case would be dismissed and the costs taxed to the plaintiff. Court Noton. ( Judge Ferguson will pass upon the Bishop Scarinell Injunction case on Monday. A verdict for $539 was found In Judge Blair's court yesterday for the plaintiff In the case of Gavin vs the American. Plro In- nuranco , company. 1 The custody of the two Onck children has teen awarded to Ilov. John Williams In be- Jialf of the Children's Aid society , by County Judge Baxter. The parents of the children are .both alleged to be drunkards and unfit persons to have control of the children. Judge Baxter has a family affair of the sensational order on trial In his court. James 01adwyn Is endeavoring to get possession ol two daughters , who are In the custody ol Jils former wife , now Mrs. Leach. The Qladwyn-Leach clescts are chock full ol skeletons of various styles , and they arc al bclna paraded. The case will occupy the attention of the court for several days. The Injunction proceedings growing out ci the bids on the Sherman avenue paving con tracts cama up before Judge Keysor yes terday and were set for hearing next Satur day. Attorney Cowln for the plaintiff pre sented a bunch of affidavits tending to show that Hugh Murphy , the lowest bidder , couh not secure the proper grade of asphaltum for the work. Attorney Howe was given untl .Wednesday to present answers to these Charges and showings. Arguments for a new trial wcro mode before - fore Judge Ambrose yesterday In the case of Marshall Field & Co. vs S. P. Morse & . Co. In the first trial Morse was given a Judgment for $22,000. It Is another of those replevin complications that have become very numerous about the county building lately Every Judge on the bench has ono or moio of them and they all agree that under the Nebraska laws they are the most puzzling form of litigation extant. A motion was argued In Judge Keysor's court yesterday for the confirmation o a ealo In the case of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance company against Join Mulvlhlll. The Insurance company had a mortgage for $50.000 on the property In which the Steelc-Smlth grocery store Is lo catcd. The mortgage was foreclosed and th property sold. Mulvlhlll moved to have the sale set aside as the appraUement was too low. This was overruled and the case came up again todayon a motion of the defcndan to have the Bale set aside on the ground tha tbo special master commissioner had no authority to appoint appraisers , as ho hac riot been sworn and had given no bonds In the caso.

Commcrclnl Club Will Help to I'usti the tclirinc Alone * The executive committee of the Commercial club has Issued a large number of Invitations o the leading business men to attend a general meeting of the club on Tuesday even- ng Commissioner Utt says that for fear sonio good men may have been overlooked n mailing the Invitations he wants to make t known that the meeting Is open for every one Interested In Omaha's welfare. The ulrclpal thing to be discussed will bo the jultdlng of a first class mile track nnd expo sition grounds and to formulate a proposition foi the location of the state fair In this city.Since Since the subject has been broached a reat many of the leading business men lave evinced an Interest In the building of a Ino race track for trotting and pacing mect- ngs , and Charlny Williams , the famous liorseman who roared and gave Axtell and Allcrton their splendid records , has made a proposition to take charge of the new track at a very moderate salary. He will still retain his Interest In the new track at Galesburg , III. , but will give one or two meetings hero each year and will bring a big string of fast horses to compete for the purses. It Is also said that Bud noble- will bring his fine stable here , and with the strings owned by Gould , Paxton , Kcsterson , Chandler , Brtggs , Alexander , Du Bols Bros. , Salisbury and ttioso at Sioux City , St. Joe , Kansas City and DCS Molncs that would come here there seems to bo no doubt of the success of the enterprise. The great suc cesses of Sioux City and St. Joe with their races and expositions have stimulated the business men hero to emulate their thrifty example.

BELLEVILLE , Ill.Nov. 24. A remarkable Incident occurred at the Lcnz coal mine , near Bcllervlllc. John Schmidt a miner was at work SOO feet below the surface. He had worked his regular time and another shift should have taken the place of the men below at noon. But the company was behind In Its orders and Schmidt with others con cluded to work extra time. He sent word to his wife to have some lunch brought to him. She filled a basket with eatables and walked a considerable distance to the mlno with It. Arriving there she concluded to go down In the cage , a thing she had frequently done before as she desired to speak with her husband. She was lowered safely In the cage Into the bowels of the earth and almost Imme diately Mrs. Schmidt gave birth to a bouncing boy baby. Mother and child were tenderly cared for by the grim-faced miners with candles In their caps and they were soon on terra flrma again. A messenger was sent for a doctor and another for a carriage to take Hie young miner to his mother's home , but jeforo either arrived Mrs. Schmidt gave birth to another boy baby by the side of the coal shaft. 'The mother and twins after some delay reached home safely and the doctor says they arc all doing well. o Fernmnont Art Exhibit. The art loan exhibit In the library buildIng - Ing closed a week ago. Since that data the borrowed pictures have been returned to the owners and of the remaining pictures a permanent exhibit has been arranged. This will form the nucleus from which It Is hoped will spring n gallery of fine arts , which will become ono of the chief attractions of the city. As It stands today , It Is well worth seeing , no admission fco being exacted. Everybody Is Invited , not only to view the works of art , but to visit the art school , which Is meeting with gratifying success In all respects. It lo the Intention of the art association to offer for sale some of the canvases now on exhibition. The proceeds of sales will go to maintain the exhibit and school , the burden of which falls on a few enthusiasts , who are determined that Omaha shall have a creditable art school. The success of the undertaking Is duo largely to the generosity of Hon. George W. Llnlnger and Its further 'success Is said to depend upon his efforts and substantial aid.
