LINCOLN , April 23. ( Special. ) In dis
trict court toJay the Hock Island Railroad
company filed Its answer In the suit brought
against It by K. H. Slzer , administrator of
the estate of Henry K. I'ctors , one of the
victims of the Ilock Iiland wreck last August.
"While admitting the specific allegations of
the killing of Peters the company denies all
responsibility for the < leath of the deceased
They a\er that the wreck was not caused by
any negligence of the company , but by the
wilful acts of a party or parties unknown.
George Washington Davis was tried for
the crime , the result being a mistrial. The
case IB tet for trial next month. 1'ctcrs , the
victim , was a blacksmith who boarded the
train at Martel the evening of the wreck
In company with K H. K rnecke , the ab
Btractor of this city , who also perished In
tbe wreck. Uotli were In the emoklng car
when U went over the side of the brlclg1.
This Is the first damage suit brought
again the company owing to tbla accident.
Hut tlie parents , brothers and Bisters of J
H. Matthews , traveling coal agent of Omaha
have retained counsel and will shortly tut ,
The road has never made any settlement
with the heirs of any of the victims , three
of whom WE re trainmen
At Ansley , some tlm last jear , John Case
died and left a $2.000 policy In the Modern
Woodmen. U was made payable to Case's
parents , Allan and Jane Case. A few weeks
before his death It was changed and Mrs ,
Sophia Caie , his wife , was made the bene
flclary. Following Cane's death bcth laid
claim to the money. The Modern Woodmen
paid It Into court and left the family to
fight It out. The parents , In n previous
paper filed , bad accused Mrs , Sophia and tli
physician attending upon her husband of
bavins been for some time criminally Inti
mate and of having conspired together to get
the money by having Case make the change
In his will at a time when his physical con
dition was such that he did not know what
he was doing. Today they filed another
cross-petition alleging that the conspiracy
tlll existed , that Anderson was to share the
money , but they ha\o stricken out the charge
of adulterous Intercourse and of having con
spired to secure the money to expand In
"riotous and Improper IMng. "
In Justice Spencer's court today A. C
Langdon , newly appointed city detective , was
awarded Judgment against the Rock Island
Ilallroacl company for $59 for services as de
tective In behalf of the company.
Justice Gould today decided a novel case
Involving the difference In price between , a
lire and n dead beir Huhbard Bros. sticl
Henry Hohlt , proprietor of Lincoln park , to
recover the price of a bear which they had
loaned him for exhlblt'on at the park and
which had died before It had been returned
to the owners As to the price of bears ex
pert testimony varied , ranging from $ JO to
$60. The difference was split by Justice
Gould , who gave Judgment fen Hubbard
Bros , for $10 From the testimony , how
ever , It appeared that Hohlt had secured the
bear with the understanding that he would
return It In as gocd condition as when he
took It. Justice Gould's decision would seem
to Imply that the dead bear returned to
Hubbard Bros , was worth considerably less
than the llu > animal turned over to Hohlt.

While the grand old organ at the First
Presbyterian church was filling the room
with Us music last evening eight young
men , each attlicd In black and wearing the
clerical white tie , marched In and took seats
In the front pew a , which had been reserved
for their occupancy. These young men
were : Harry A. Carnahan of Central City.
User E. Fattoosh of Omaha , Alvtn M , Hen-
den of Cozad , John It. Jones of Manilla ,
la. ; George T. Noyro of Irvington , David
Oastler of Rushvillc , Charles E. Ulco of
Crawford and Frederick Tonge of Omaha.
They comprised the graduating class of the
Omaha Presbyterian Theological seminary
nnd the occasion was the second annual
commencement of that institution.
The platform was occupied by the officers
and membc-s of the faculty of the seminar } ,
while the body of the church was filled by
friends of the young men and members of
the Presbyterian churches of the city. The
preliminary exercises consisted of a hymn ,
ccrlpturo reading and n prayer , after which
the class orators , Messrs. Oastler , Rico ,
Jones and Carnahan , who had been selected
by a vote of the ( Undents and members of
the faculty , were Introduced in their turn ,
their themes being respectively : "Hope , "
"Dry Hones Animated , " "Personal Element
In Christianity , " "A Misconception of the
Truth" All addresses were much com
mended.
In presenting the diplomas to the members
of the graduating class. Dr. John Gordon ,
chairman of the faculty of the seminary ,
said that while It was a pleasant duty that
ho had to perform , It had many unpleasant
features. It meant , he said , that eight
young men were about to go out into the
world to work for God. This was something
that was pleasant to contemplate , but sepa
rating from the students was a trying ordeal
In dismissing the graduates Dr. Gordon
compared the task with that which fell upon
Jesus , when he sent the apostles out to
preach tfco gospel to the world. The world ,
Mr. Gordon Informed the students , was a
world full of devils , full of graves , the
bamo old world full of sick folks which had
existed for ages The ) oung men. he said ,
were going forth as sheep among wolves.
Notwithstanding tills , he cautioned them to
bo as harmless an doves.
With the close of Dr. Gordon's address
the eight graduates of the seminary were
called to tao platform and presented with
the diplomas which authoiized them to go
nut Into the world and labor In their ef
forts to save sinners.
Dr. W. 1' . RIngland of Hastings , president
of the board of directors , spoke encourag
ingly of the condition of the seminary and
the work which it had accompllshoj durln ;
the past jear Ho predicted for It a glorlouu
future and expressed the opinion that the
day would como when the Presbyterian sem
inary of Omaha would bo one of the leadIng -

was close to the work of the homo mission
and was also close to what would some day
bo tlio heart qnd very center of this great

LINCOLN , Aprlr 25. ( Special ) Governor
Holoomb has fltoil ex-Superintendent Hay of
he Lincoln aio'Jum to appear before him "at
n early dayinlrt-jtho future , " nnJ answer
barges preferred < against his mlsmanage-
iient of the Institution. The time set for the
earlnc Is Tuqsday next. In response to n
elcgram from , , Governor Holcomb , Dr. L. J.
Vbbott , supcrfnletiilent of the asylum , came
own from Fremont nnd was at the guv-
rnor's oldce ifi\a \ , Afternoon. When asked by
representative of The Boo what part be
hould lake In the. Investigation , he said :
"I shall remain entirely quiescent. The
, vholo matter Is In the hands of the gov-
rnor , and , personally , I have nothing what-
vcr to do with It. This Is not a flgbt ba-
woen two doctors. I shall not , probably , be
resent at the thno the charges are pre-
errcd. All I know Is that the charges have
eon filed and I have seen some of thorn.
'ho only question Is between the governor
nd Dr Hay. I firmly believe the prerogative
f the executive has been delled. There Is
10 question but It Is the deslro of Governor
lolcomb to see how far his right to remove
.nd appoint officers of certain Institutions
xtends. The governor has , as I understand ,
nkon advice of some of the best legal talent
n the state regarding this matter. He Is ,
Imself , one of the ablest jurists who evci
lat on the bench In Nebraska , nnd when he
loves In this matter I am convinced It will
10 upon grounds which will admit of no op-
losltlon or controversy. "
"What do you think about the suggestion
( hlch has been made that the governor ap-
lolnt a new steward at the asylum , and let
him go In and take possession In your
name ? "
"Well , that lias been discussed , too The
.rouble Is. the steward who would make a
good fighting man might not bo a suitable
man when on a peace footing. "
"When shall you return to Fremont7"
"That Is Indelnl e. I have not yet seen thp
governor , and until I do I cann.t say. Hut
: lon't quote me as taking any active part In
.his controversy. When the governor moves
lie will move In the right direction and I
mvo no fears of the outcome "
Dr. Hay Is quoted ni saying that he Is ap
prehensive that , during the present singe of
he complication , a steward might be ap
pointed by the governor , who would necss-
arlly bo permitted to enter the asylum and
et up the pins for the admittance of Dr.
Abbott. Such action by the governor Is
"rocly spoken of as a coup that would cer
tainly result unfavorably to the ex-superln-
endent cf the asylum. The affidavits on file
n the governor's olllco are voluminous They
nvolvo a number of serious charges , Includ-
ng cruelty to patients and mismanagement
ivlthln the past two years. Charges of cx-
ravagance will ba based on the high cost
per capita of maintenance as compared with
other asylums In other states. The charges
will bo preferred before Governor Holcomb ,
mt It Is belfcved that Dr. Hay will Insist
that his case can bo pissed upon by none
other than the IJoard ol Public Lands and
Buildings _

HEATRICE. April 25 ( Special Telegram. )
After almost U\o yeara of litigation It
now looks as though the affairs of the Beat
rice Rapid Transit and Power company are
about to be straightened out by a decision
of the federal court yesterday at Lincoln.
The claims of parties hero for labor ma
terial and other supplies furnished the cor
poration , amounting to nearly $20,000 , were
declared preferred claims and will bo paid
out of the first funds realized from the sale
of the plant , which will probably occur early
in July , at which time It Is expected the
plant and franchise will bo sold to the high
est bidder. The bonds issued by the corpor
ation were declared valid by the court , and
these , together with claims for construction
of the motor line , will bo paid pro rata after
the preferred claims mentioned have been
taken care of , provided any funds are loft
Beatrice people will rejoice to Know that
finally the plant Is to become absolutely the
property of some man or corporation , as It
Is well understood that parties are awaiting
an opportunity to get possession of It by
purchase. _

IJAKEnsriELD. Cal. . April 23. Lord
Sttolto Douglass appeared today In the su-
) crlor court to answer to the charge of In
sanity Few people knew the examination
was to be held so early , so few were present.
Jfllcers , attorneys and reporters inado up
tlio greater portion. Only five Englishmen
were In the room and one of them was Ilur-
mclster , tha complaining witness. Lord
Douglass was brought Into court by a deputy
sheriff Ho wore a light gray suit , with
trousers turned up , toothpick shoes and a
wide white hat with a hammered leather
band. This , together with his negllgo shirt ,
made up the typical English costume as
worn by the numerous Britishers In the
colony here. Ho took hla seat , still wearing
his wide hat , which he did not remove at
all while In court. The young lord sat alone
at the attorney's desk In company with
ihyslclans called as an examining board.
Promptly at 10 o'clock Jmlgo Conklln
stepped upon the platform and took his seat.
All was expectation No sooner had he
readied the great leather arm chair than he
raid "There being no complaint against
this party , ho will b3 discharged , " and the
Famous Insanity case was ended No other
word was spoken and those present opened
their mouths In wonder while his lordship
meekly left the room to breathe the air of
freedom. Utirmdster had refused to swear
to the second complaint necessary for a hear
ing for Insanity cases , BO there was no
foundation for the action and the discharge
) f the prisoner followed as n matter of course ,
lie hurried to Ills Hotel , then to the bank ,
where he drew some money and began a
series of hurried visits to different stores
Ho stopped Constable Seroy and asked :
"Ilow much would It cosi me to assault a
man ? " Seroy answered' "Now , look here ,
young man , you behave yourself like a gen
tleman If you have a case against anyone
begin suit , but do no fighting , "
The lord hurried on , his thin light
trousers flapping fiom the force of his ener
getic movements. Common mortals stood on
the corner watching and wondering If he
was preparing for tlio aforesaid assault , for
a hurried departure to other parts , or to
consiimmatu the marriage according to the
\ow ho made to his lady love yesterday
afternoon. About 4 o'clock this afternoon
the mjstery was solved. Ills lordship was
on his muscle. Ho went to the California ! !
o111co and asked George Weeks , the editor ,
If the Chronicle correspondent was employed
there. The reply was that that was a pro
fessional secret. Ho left , but soon returned.
He wan seen to enter the olllcc , and. In a
remarkably brief space of time , ho emerged
llko a shot. After him came Mr. Weeks
and the olllco force , apparently bent on the
destruction of the young lord. A few mo
ments later his lordship , somewhat ruffled
In appealance , entered the olllcc of Justice
Fox and Informed his honor that he had
assaulted the Chronicle correspondent "I
hit him three times In the face , when four
or n\o set upon mo from behind and put
mo out. I desire to plead guilty "
Constable Seroy snore to the complaint
and Douglass was fined $530 , the e\act costs.
The Justice then read the law , which snjs
he could flno him for battery In any sum
not exceeding $1,000 , or Imprisonment not
exceeding six months , or both.
Douglass said . "Ah , Is that so , and I
thought $5 was the limit. I was Informed
that was the case. "
Mr. Weeks gives a very different story of
the encounter. He 6ayn Lord Douglass ,
after BajhiR ho had been publishing d d
lies about him. then struck at him. The
lord missed his aim , and , before ho could
try again , was thrown Into the street. Doug
lass left , saying ho would return with his
crowd and square things. Weeks told him
ho would shoot the first of his crowd that
entered the building. His lordship Is at
present engaged in hunting for other corre
spondents
