Court Attracting Mtirh
Attention. .
LINCOLN' , April 2G. ( Special Telegram. )
The latest trouble over Ihe Insane asylum
Kupcrlnlcndenl Is growing aggressive. Dr.
Abbotl , Ihe new superinlcndetil , appears to
have arrived In lown Just In time to run
against an alias summons. Issued out of the
district court. It recites on Ihe face of II
that Dr. Hay , superintendent of the Lincoln
Insane asylum , has sued Lr. ) Abbott , amount
not stated , ami that he has until the 2Jtli
day of May lo make answer to the summons.
The Instrument Is made returnable to the
district courl on May 6.
Dr. Abbolt was seen In regard lo Ihe pro
ceedings. Ho says that he Is not lawyer
enough lo know whether this wrll Is In Ihe
nalure of n restraining order or not. If It Is
an Injunction he desires to nay lhat ho Is
doing nothing lo Infringe on Ihe rights of Dr.
Hay. On March 27 Injunction proceedings
were begun In the district court by Dr. Hay ,
but subscqucnlly dropped by stipulation th.it
the mailer should be left lo Ihe supreme
court. Nolhlng came of Ihls and ofllccrs of
Ihe courl say lhal the alias summons served
this evening on Dr. Abbolt renews the In
junction case In the dlslrlcl courl.
Dr. Abbolt was in consultation today with
Governor Holcomb. The subjecl discussed
at the Interview was the advisability of ap
pointing a steward and matron of the asylum
Immediately. Tonight Dr. Abbolt says no
parties were named for the poslllon. bul will
bs tomorrow. This Information was con
firmed at the governor's office filfl evening.
The Bee this morning foreshadowed this
move on the part of the governor. Dr. Ab
botl Is of the opinion that the steward up-
pointed will bo of an aggressive nalure and
ono who will sec that the rights of the state
are not defied openly , as they are now being
done by Dr. Hay.
Interesl In the forthcoming trial of ex-State
Treasurer Hill , which begins Monday , Is on
the Increase. Quite a number of the venire
of sixty talesmen summoned have arrived
and others are expected In the morning nnd
Sunday. I'rparatlons are being made to hold
the trial by Hie supreme courl In Ihe senate
chamber. A Jury trial before the full bench
of the supreme courl Is an unusual occurrence
and one calculated lo attract a large audience.
The prominent poslllon of the defendant , the
amount Involved , $230.000 , and the array of
distinguished legal talent on each side , all
add to the Importance of the occasion. It Is
thought the trial will occupy four or five
days.

Considerable dissatisfaction Is being ex
pressed In railroad circles over the shortness
of Ih ? time allowed In which to advertise
the homeseekors' excursion of April 30. Mr.
Francis of the Burlington Is authority for
the statement that he attempted to show
Mr. Lomax of the Union Pacific the error
of his ways , nnd advanced nrgumenls , lhal
to him seemed conclusive , as to the Inad-
vlsablllty of putting In the reduced rate on
April 30 , for the reason that only a few
people would know of the excursion on ac
count of the shortness of the time. The
country papers throughout tha territory cov
ered by the excursion do not contain any
mention of the excursion of next Tuesday ,
and only In the cities , where dally papers are
published , will the people know of th home-
seekers' excursion which , on April 30. will
bo one fare for the round trip , "plus $2 , "
which has been added to rates on similar oc
casions , being on this occasion removed.
Mr. Francis believes that the proposed ex
cursion la undesirable for Ihe reason that
prospective settlers are busy at this time
with putting In their crops , and until next
fall they will have little time to think of
making changes In their locations. Under
these circumstances he opposed the excur
sion , but Mr. Lomax was anxious to meet
the reduction of the Missouri , Kansas &
Texas , and accordingly notice was given by
the Union Pacific to connecting lines , putting
In the reduced rate for April 30. The Hock
Island , Burlington , Missouri Pacific and Elkhorn -
horn Immediately got In line for an excursion
on tha same day.

NEW YORK , April 20. The commUtot ap
pointed by the Irish Independent parlia
mentary party to visit Mrs. Delia S. Parnell ,
the aged mother of the distinguished Irish
loader , Charles Stewart Pnrncll , went to
Hordentown , N , J. , last night. The com
mittee consisted of Edxvard O'Flahcrty , John
Bronnan , Hugh J. Curttn and Stephen Me-
Farlaml. The object of Iho deputation waste
toascertain Mrs. I'arncH's condition and If
necessary to supply assistance , pecuniary or
otherwise , to the Injured lady. The com-
mllloe was pleased to find the mother of
the dead Irish chief attended by her step
brother , Mr. Stownrt , so'n ot Admiral Stew
art , Mr. Tudor , a relative from Boston , and
Mrd. Knaud of New York. Thq deputation
jvas cordially received and thanked by Mr.
Stewart and Mr. Tudor. Mrs , Knaud , who
has rcmalneJ an oU time friend of Mrs. Par
nell , Is In constant attendance at the bed
side of the oged lady since she was removed
to her homo after the murderous ajtack
made upon her , It was said that the theory
that Mrs. Parnell had been nsaulted by some
tramp whose motive was robbery has been
exploded.
Mrs. Parnell had , Mrs. Knaud said , a dog
with her which was a faithful companion.
When Its mistress was altackcJ the dumb
animal never barked. This Is taken as an
Indication I that tne person who attacked Mrs.
Parnell I was somebody whom the dog recog
nized. On Iho Invitation of Mrs. Parnoll's
relatives Mr. O'Flahcrty visited the sick
chamber and found Mrs. Parnoll conscious.
She. however , did not rcccgnlzo any one
except Mrs. Knaud and an old and faith
ful retainer of the household named Slevln.
Slevlns was a fellow prisoner of Charles
Stewart Parncll's In Kllmulnlmni Jail as sus
pects In 18S1-S2. The report thai Mrs. Par-
Hell's jewelry hod been stolen was contra
dicted anil the committee was shown several
valuable heirlooms of the Parnell and Slow-
art families. The committee was njso In
formed that John Howard Parnell , Mrs. Par-
noil's only surviving son , now staying at
Avondale , county WIcklow , Ireland , Is kept
dally Informed of the condition of his mother.
Harry O. Bannon and others , representing
the Independent parliamentary party , will
visit Mrs. Parnell on Sunday next. Mrs.
Knaud , whoso energies have been severely
tried , will bo relieved from attendance at
once by a trained nurse , who has been sum
moned from Philadelphia.
BORDENTOWN , N. J. , April 20. Mrs.
Parnell's condition tonight Is reported as
much Improved , and Dr. W. Shlpps has
great hopes of her recovery.
For forty years Price's Cream Baking Pow
der has been as a pillar of strength to

liuniio from Drink ,
Sidney Smith , who closed a career of
recklessness in Omaha nbout three years ago
by forging the name of Elmer Frank and
others to checks , and who was senl to the
state penltenllary for eighteen months , came
Into some prominence again at Rawllns ,

Shortly after Union Pacific passenger
train No. 3 pulled Into the yard a bare
headed man Jumped Ihrough a window and
started toward town as fast as he could run.
A block anJ a half from the depot he reached
a stone pile , where a building was being
taken down. He stopped and took a rock
In each hand. After considerable trouble he
was Induced to drop the stones , was over
powered and lodged In jail. He was ticketed
from Kansas City to Scatlle. The ticket
bore the name of Sidney Smith. Ho was
considered insane , and later admitted that
for several days ho had been drinking ex
cessively. Last evening ho seemed to be

The only business of Importance which
was considered by the Hoard of Public
Works yesterday was the prolesl of property
owners against the established grade on
Laku slreet , from Twenty-seventh to Thir
tieth. About n dozen property owners ap
peared , nnd they represenled that senti
ment was practically unanimous In favor
of making the grade two feet lower. City
Engineer Hosewater assured Ihe board that
there would be no difficulty In making the
change If the necessary majority petition
was llled. and It Is understood that the
grade will be- changed to suit the property
owners as soon as the petition is signed by
the necessary representation of abutting
property.
