THE OMAHA DAILY JlEEi SATURDAY , .TANUATIY 25 , 1805. 5 STRUCK HER IN THE FACE Can Trancisco Parties Meet in Omaha c ml Ilfivo Trouble. ASSAULT AT M'TAGUE'S ' ' RESTAURANT I'nrllca Arc I'nnl Hurt-In unit Mnrlo AVII.ion Hxiilnnntlou nn ( liven It ) ' ( Up YonnK frlvnil. A nicely dressed woman hurried Into the police station shortly after 10 o'clock last evening and In an excited manner exclaimed : "I have been struck In the face with a pair of brass knuckles and want to have the vil lain who did It arrested , " She displayed a largo discolored lump on her forehead ever the left eye and then con- tluued : "Ills name IB Paul Harris and I want a warrant for his arrest at once. If I had had a revolver at the time I should Itnve killed him on the spot. " The hlqhly nervous tendon which she had maintained Iron relaxed anil she broke down In a lit of weeping. To tlio raptnln she stated that her name was Miss Marie Wilson and that she had Just arrived In the city from Snn Francisco. Shu said that she had gone to McTaguo's restaurant about 0:30 : In company with her mother and sister and that In passing out of the door to the street Harris , who chanced to bo standing upon the step , assaulted her with his fists and then ran rapidly down Farnam street. In answer to n ciucstton as < to whether she had ever had any trouble with Harris she replied emphatically , "No , " but her nubipquent statements on this point were conflicting and she finally admitted that she had known him slightly many years be fore. fore.An officer accompanied Miss Wilson back to the reHtnurnnt , but no trace of the assail ant could be discovered. Seated at a tnblo In the place with a number of friends was a well known young mnn who has been con ducting the auction sale for a jewelry firm of this city fqr several days and the moment Miss Wilson's eyes alighted upon him she exclaimed to the officer who accompanied her : "There Is the man who told him to ( ttrlko me and I want him arrested for being a party to the assault. His name Is P. J. Iliirrouglis and ho Is from San Francisco. " DunnouGiis TELLS OF THE TROUBLE. Mr. Burroughs had remained seated during the trouble on the outside and when re ql'cstcd to state his version of the n flair , sold : "This woman has dogged me from one end of the country to the other. Nearly two years ago she Instituted suit against me for J SO , 000 In San Francisco for an alleged bleach nf promise. When the case came up for trial she failed to appear and the case was dismissed for lack of prosecutloji. I think the whole affair was brought up by T her merely to cause mo annoyance. About a month ago I secured my present position In On , aha and it appears that she and her mother no sooner heard of It than they fol lowed me to this city with the object of dls crediting me. "Mr. Harris Is a friend of mine also from San Francisco , and also knew Miss Wilson on the coast , where she had caused him a great deal of annoyance In the same- manner in which she has me , by dogging his foot steps from one place to another. A few days ago I sent for Mr. Harris to come to Omaha and assist me In my work , and he arrived about ten days ago. When Miss Wilson came hero she at once looked up Mr. Harris and his wife , and started tbo old system of per secution. To avoid trouble Mr. Harris de- cldod to start for the cast. "When Miss Wilson learned that Harris and his wife were about to leave , she- and her mother , who accompanied her , hired a cab and drove rapidly to the depot , arriving just In time to catch the departing train. As aoon as she entered the coacb Miss Wil son began hurling vile eplthots at Harris and his wife. Mr. and Mrs. Harris stood the tirade until they had gone to the first sta tion , and , as they became unbearable , left the train and returned to the city. Harris met Miss Wilson In the restaurant last even ing , and at length Icslng control ot him self , struck her as she was going out the door. Miss Wilson formerly lived In Sacra mento and In Snn Francisco , and waa a dressmaker by occupation. " Miss Wilson and her mother returned to the police station after the chase for Harris proved futile , and she was retained as a prose cuting witness. Miss Wilson states that she will swear out a warrant for the arrest of Harris this morning , and that the end Is not yet. yet.MISS MISS WILSON'S VERSION. At the -elation Miss Wilson gave her version of the sffiilr. She stated that Burroughs and Harris had operated as auctioneers In a large number of cities besides San Francisco , Including Chicago , New York , Cleveland , Co lumbus , O. , and LOB Angeles , Gal. , but that she hud first met them in the first named city. Burroughs she describes as BI gay Lothario * and tnyo ho had ; nat only made love to herself - self , but to many other women. She stated I that her suit for breach of promise had been darted at the Instance of Burroughs to shut cut a. number , of other women to whom ho liad made love , and that It had not bean brought to trial on account of reasons which made It necessary for Burroughs , Harrlo and their retinue , including herself , to leave the city.Miss Miss Wilson said that she had followed Burroughs to this city from Chicago ; that she was Interested largely in his business , and that there had been an attempt upon his part and that of Harris to shut her out of her eliara of the profits ; that the present trouble had arisen purely out of a business transaction. Miss Wilson added that slio had been woefully misused of late , and that among other things she had been refused admission to n prominent hotel of the city on mlsropre- r. - eentations mode to the proprietor. Miss AVI1- l\ ( \ ' > ton concluded by telling the captain that she * - Intended to prosecute Harr's upon the clmrgo ot assault , and that the whole case would bo Bitted to the bottom , Still the PiMvilcrVIIM There.

Stop n PtMr .Mlnutr * In Omntiiv nn Tlu-lr > Vny Kmt. t'nltfd Stales Senators-elect Frank J , Can non and Arthur Brown of the new state of Utah passed through this city late yesterday afternoon cnrouto to Washington. The train stopped In the city bul n few minutes. Both gentlemen are rather young In ap- prarance and completely upset the notions of one who Imagines thai all members of the United States senate muit have gray h.-vlr. Senator Cannon Is more yotilhful than his colleague and Is nolhlng If not a handsome man. As he slood on the platform , with his corduroy cap carelessly set on the back of his head , one might have laken him for a col legian , rather limn the great orator of Utah. In conversation with a Bee reporter ho said that ho was heartily In favor of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 1G lo 1. Ho favors protection , and high prolc-ctlon nt tlml. In his opinion high prelection and free silver go hand In hand , and both are essential for Ihe Improve- mcnl of Iho condition of the counlry. In the national legislature ho will do all within his power , he says , for the furthering of these two Institutions. When asked his opinion of the Monroe doc- Irlno Sanalor Cannon said that he was on nrItnt ( admirer of that Instrument and thought that It was the duty of congress to uphold It. Whether the people of Utah on- dortcd the exact stand President Cleveland had taken In Ihe mailer he was unprepared to say , but he was rather Inclined to think that they did nol fully coincide with the views of the president In the matter. Concerning the Cuban trouble , the senator expressed himself as decidedly In favor of according bllllgerenl rlghls to Ihe Island Ihal has given Spain so much bother. Ho thinks U Is the absolute duty of the United States to pursue such a course In the matter and ho will support any legislation with thai end In view. Senalor Brown was exceedingly oftablo , bul was busily engaged wllh Iho railroad men during hla short tay In the city. Ho had time , however , to say a good word for Omaha and to wish It all manner cf success and prosperity. The senators said they were In ' favor of the proposed Transmlsalsslp'pl ex position lo bo held In Omaha , and would lend their assistance to this or any olhor good scheme for Iho bcnefll ot western agrlciillure , commerce and Induslrlcs. Regarding free silver , protection , the Monroe doctrine and Iho Cuban matter , Senator Brown expressed himself as In accord with the sentiments of Senator Cannon. AMUSEMENTS. | cccocccceccoooccGCcecccceco Frederick Warde and his uncxcoptlonally slrong company opened a short engagemenl at Boyd's last night , presenting D'Emery's romantic drama , "Tho Mountebank , " lo an appreciative audience. Mr. Wardo's work has lost none of Its dramatic fire , and he adds to his reputation at his each reappearance In this city. As Belphegor last night he drew a strong picture a series of them of the vicissitudes thai crowded Ihemsolves Into the life of "Tha Mountebank. " The Intensity of his grief at the desertion of his wife he brought out In bold relief to the strength of his devotion. His scone with the masqucr- adcrs In the third act was oven stronger , and ho proved his artistic conception In Iho final act In ono of Ihe most trying situations over portrayed by a playrlght. Mr. Wardo has surrounded hlmsalt with a strong company. Miss Lucia Moore , as Henri , the son of the mountebank , carried her tryIng - Ing part successfully , her work at Iho close ot Ihe second act richly deserving the call she received to come before the curtain. Charles D. Herman was a capable villain. H. 0. Dyers furnished what lltlle comedy the author saw fll lo Inlroduce , and his work served as an excellent foil to the Intenslly of the secona act. Miss Fanny Glllelte as Madeline had , next to Mr. Wardo himself , ono ot the moat trying1 and difficult roles' ' to sustain. She was entirely equal to Ihe part. Miss Garrlck , Mrs. Isabel Waldron and Miss Ellen Norrls filled their places creditably. The entire company Is well adapted lo Mr. Warde's repertoire. Mr. Warde will appear this afternoon In "Tho Lion's Mouth" and tonight In "Julius Caesar. " This afternoon at Boyd's Mr. Wardo will present Carleton's charming Venetian love story , "The Lion's Mouth , " which Is ono of the most popular In his repertory. This play was presented here Iwo years ago and made a very decided Impression. The story Is In teresting , the dramatic action strong- and the general atmosphere brcalhes of the warmlh of t-unny Italian skies. Mr. Warde appears as Renaldo , Mr. Charles D. Herman as Fra Angelo and Miss Fanny Gillette as Lenorla. The scenery Is said to bo beautiful and the production has been highly praised by the press Ihroughout the country. The Wardo engagement closes tonight with a perform ance of "Julius Caesar , " which promises lo be a notable Shakespearean presentation. Mr. Wardo will appear as Brutus , Charles D. Herman as Casalus and Charles Sulton as Marc Antony.

At Iho Tuesday matlneo every lady and child purchasing a reserved seat llckel for the flrsl floor will re ceive a handsome doll as a souvenir. Al- Ihough the production of "Wang" Is ono of the largest and most expensive of any on the read , Iho prices have nol been advanced. Mr. Al Hart Is still playing the part of "Wang , " the regenl ot Slam , and It Is un necessary to comment upon h's conception of that famous part. The balance of the company remains about the same as when scon here before. The sale of seats will open tills morning. A company , al Iho head of which Is Ada Van Ella , will appear al Boyd's theater on Thursday , Friday and Saturday of next week in James Mortimer's charming comedy , "Glorlana.

WASHINGTON HALL WAS PACKED I'roRrnm of Mtixlc , Dnnron it ml Ail- N Knit or ( Tradition mid Si-iitlincMtt of the llon- iilc Coimtrlc. ' The sixth annual concert and ball of Clan Gordon No. 03 of the Order ot Scottish Clans , which was given at Washington hall last evening , was In all respects one ot the most successful entertainments ever given by the Scots of Omaha. The occasion was also made a celebration of the 137th anniversary ot the birth of Robert Burns , arid tlio hall was falrlyl picked with Scotch men and women with their lads and lassies. The plaid was everywhere conspicuous and Scotch sentiment and Highland music Imparted a true- national character to the entertainment. It waa the largest crowd that has ever attended one of the annual concerts ot the clan and after every scat In the auditorium and gallery was filled the standing room was occupied and some wore unable to gain -ad mittance. The stage settings represented a Scottish scene and a portrait of Durns ap propriately draped In plaid was hung over the proscenium arch. Beneath it hung the Insignia of the clan and these were flanked by the flags of Scotland and the stars and stripes. While the audience was occupied In dis persing Itself tnrough the already crowded space the orchestra rendered a medley of Scottish airs. Then the curtain rose , re- .voallng the members of the clan In complete Highland costume. The bagpipes manipu lated by I'lpors J. C. Buchanan and 0. W. McDougal discoursed the "Gathering of the Clans , " which uas followed by the address ot welcome by ! ! . M. Murray , chief of the clan. Mr. Murray spoho very briefly , allud ing to the very long program as sufficient reason for confining his remarks to a word of welcome. He stated that It was the deslro of the clan to add materially every year to the excellence of Ito annual entertalnmaiit. Tn nrnvlnitti vr l to tltit nlilat * m ntv lisit-n li ml complained that the program was so long that they were unable to catch the last car and the younger people had also complained because the dancing began so late that they were unable to catch the first car In the morning , but ho 1-oped that all would be satisfied on the present occasion. WATCHED THE DEAR OLD FLING. The Highland fling , In , costume , by the pupils ot Clansman Joe Gray , was receive , ! with the usual favor. The small Scots , In In their picturesque kilts and pla'ds , tripped the pretty dance. In perfect time and to the enthusiastic approval of the audience. Solos followed by Miss Carrie Robertson and Mr. Walter Bell , after which Rev. S. AVrlght Butler delivered an address on lhe "Memory of Robert Burns. " Together with the more serious sentences of his address the- speaker contrived to supply his usual quota of apt anecdotes and original witticisms. He paid a high tribute to thp memory and achieve ments of Burns , which were the more re markable In that his life had been one of hardship and toll In which no educational ad vantages assisted to bring out the gonltis that was latent In his soul. Dr. Butler spake of the noble patrimony of which every Scotsman had reason to be proud. The history of 'his ' country had been one in which martial valor , philosophical re search , advanced culture and n high altltuJe of morality had combined to make It worth remembering. But they had now made their homes In another country which could boast of as muehi as any country of thet old world could after and In remembering Scotland they should also render fealty to the land of their adcptlon. Mr. John Mellen sang "The Minstrel Boy" and this was followed by a dance In costume by Miss Rose MacKenzle. Mr. Kenneth Fraser rendered a comic song with such success that the audience broke over the rule that had been established and continued to demand an encore until he obtained for- beaiance and continued to sing again later in the evening. Wllber and Albert Innes ren dered a very pretty mandol-.n duet with guitar accompaniment and the first part closed with a selection from the Elks' quar tet. THEOCEAN'S TWO SIDES. In the second part Clansman A. W. Ander son gave an address on "Tho Country We Left and the Land We Live In. " Ho said that no man who was not true to the past would bo true to the present and the man who was not loyal to the country of his birth would not bo loyal to the land of his adoption. If they could SSB the country they had left they would doubtless see that the old homo had been supplanted by a statelier edifice and that the friends they had known and loved had bsen laid auay , so their thoughts must turn again to the new world. But a shrub could not bo changed by trans planting It. So whether on the Scottish heaths or on the western prairie , the love cf home , love of honor and love of truth were the. prevailing characteristics ot the Scottish race. The remainder of the program consisted of dances by Miss Jennie Falconer and Mag gie MacKenzle , a violin selection by Misc Emily Dorn and solos by Mrs. William Tur ner , Miss Mary Latey and Messrs. S. L. Mor ris , E. J. Van Kuran , J. C. Barton , William Peacock and Kenneth Fraser. Following the program the floor wag cleared and while the older guests retired the younger element danced away the hours until nearly morning. A supper was served In the in termission and tlie success of the early even ing remained complete In every detail of the night's enjoyment.

Mrs. Dickinson , wife of Dr. Dickinson , Thirty-seventh and JacK- ( on streets , chanced to visit the exhibition and noticed among the rarer fowls ono which she said was stolen from her a month ago. It Is a buff cochin bantam cock and was in the coopj of F. O. Green of Des Molnes. Mrs. Dickinson examined the bird very care fully and. was positive thai It was the one she owned. She then asked to be given pos- scst-lou of It , but her request was refused by Ticasurer Armstrong , the only otif of the offlcers present. A little later Detective Cox and another officer came with a'search war rant and carried the bantam off to the police station , whore It will remain until the ques tion of ownership Is decided. Mr. Green hal gone home. He was telegraphed for , and the hearing In the case was set for next Tues.lny. The value ot the cock Is $15 or ? 20. There Is fiom no source any Intimation that Green , unless ho raised It , came Into possession of It except by purchase and the exhibitors arc almost unanimous In the opinion that Mrs. Dickinson Is mistaken , for Green himself breeds the fowls and some of the exhibitors remember of having heard him describe certain physical peculiarities In n brood which appear In this specimen , causing them to think that ho can trace- the career of this particular chicken back to Its natal egg.

' SOUTH OMAHA NEWS From the way things look now It Is very doubtful If the ordinance proposed by the mayor , regulating the rates to he charged by the American Water Works company , will be passed. After notice was given that the Injunction had been dissolved Mayor Johnston felt confident that the ordinance \vculd go through all right. Four of the cc.uncllmen seem to differ from the mayor and a lively fight is In prospect. Councilman Jack Walters said that the organ of the mayor stated that tlio corporations had a hold on certain councilman and that the or dinance would not be passed for that reason. Walters said that ho was In favor of any ar rangements whereby the property owners would bo charged less for water than th. y are now paying , but that ne did not propose to have any one , even the mayor , put a ring In his nose and lead him up to the trough and tell him to drink. "It looks , " said Wal ters , "a.3 It the mayor were trying to bull doze th'3 council Into passing this ordinance and If I find It to bo sd I will vote against It Just to break up the combination. " Con tinuing , Mr. Walters said : "Look at the cost of preparing printing and publishing the ordinance , and even If It is passed It will not do any good , as the water works com pany will continue to go on anJ do business as In the past. " Councilman Blanchard said that ho would vote against the ordinance flrst , last and all the time , as he considered it a move on the part cf the mayor made for political reasons only. "You perhaps have noticed , " said Mr. Blanchard , "that whenever Ed Johnston wantu to run for an office he geto up some reform move. In my opinion thlo Is a polit ical move and I do not Intend to bo mixed up In the deal. For my part I shall vote no. ' " Councilman Henry Mies said that ho had voted for the adoption of the report , and If ho found after Investigation that It would bo for the best Interests of the city to pass the ordinance ho would vote for It. Ho thought , however , that the water ' works com pany ohoiild receive smo consl'doiatlon at the hando of the council and the public In general bccauuo of the largo outlay of money In laying the thirty-Inch mains through the city. Furthermore Mlco said that while the big pipes were being laid through the city only South Omaha help was employed , and for that reason he thought the council should go slow , , Patrlch Hyland , 'councilman frm the Third , will Btand bjy lils former opinion and vote against the paswgo of the ordinance.

On the flrst day ot the now year the people of Hungary began the celebration of the 1,000 years which have made up the duration of their country's existence. The v/1 ole year has been set aside for the cere monies , and during that time It Is proposed tj commemorate all the great events which led up to the unification of the kingdom. Ever tlnce the accession of Arpad in S89 the dukes ot Hungary have ruled over an In dependent people , although It was not until the year 1000 that Pope. Sylvester II. ex alted Stephen to the rank of a king. The history of Hungary has been as eventful and picturesque as that of any country In Europe. In the early days of Its existence as a king dom It hud Its times of civilization and power. It waged successful wars , it oven seized Vienna and made It the capital of the country , whllo Its rulera were also wtso legislators and arts and sciences were cul tivated. When tlio Hapsburgs nt length ob tained a final foothold in the country there came a long period of suffering and humilia tion. Under the loadorshlp of Kossuth the Hungarians declared their Independence , but Internal dissensions brought about failure , Hungary was made an hereditary province and was governed with unexampled harshness and cruelty. In 1SCG , however , Austria agreed to the political demands of the people , two years later Francis Joseph was crowned king of Hungary and the country has since made rapid strides in the path of civilization. An admirable system of elementary and higher education is In existence , n magnifi cent net of railways has been built , the Judicature has been Improved and commerce and Industry developed , and today Buda PeElh , the capital , Is one of tlio mosl splen did cities on the continent of Europe , even rivaling Vienna. n II was hardly nocossaryto give an official denial to the rumor that Great Britain had bargained with Portugal for the purchase by the former of Delagoa bay. Portugal Is poor , but she Is also proud. Her record of discovery and colonization In Africa ante dates that of Great Britain by several con- tLrles. The Portuguese people are about as quick In quarrpl as any In the world ; and though they are but a feeble folk , like the conies , they make up for lack of sticngth to fight a foreign foe by rendering It very hot for any domestic ruler who , they think , lowers the Portuguese flag by so much as a quarter nf nn hull hi ' a diplomatic con troversy. It Is not flv'e years since there was something very like a riot In the streets of Lisbon on account of the government hav ing yielded to Great Britain In a dispute affecting the possessions of the Iwo countries In Africa , when the stronger nation had issued an ultimatum , accompanied by a throat of Instant war , as is her manner when dealing with ono of Eomothlng like lier own size , Portugal yielded , Indeed , but cold while doing so , If not In plain English at least In plain Portuguese , lhat she yielded tu biuto force- and did not , and never would , ceaeo to afllrm that her territory had been 1 taken from her not by diplomacy , but by highway rolbory , England might In like ncrner net Delagoa bay by bullying , but It Is absurd to suppose that she could get It by buying. Thorn Is no reason to anticipate that Rus sia will take advantage of the complications which bes5 ( . England to Interfere In Turkey cm her own behalf. Great Britain Is not the only power whoso Jealouny of Russia , or quaul-frlenilllncss to the Turk would prove an olmtuclo to Russian aggression In that quarter , and It IB probable that nothing would lead to a quicker patching up of differ ences between Londn and Berlin than evi dences of a Russian advance toward the Bco- phoruo or Into Eastern Turkey , William of Germany lias hlmsolf much to answer for In giving the porto a fri-u hand to continue Hi' mabuacres , and there Is nothing to Indicate that ho has changed his Attitude toward that abominable power In the least. The out look lor European Interference Is OH hcpe- lei-i - as ever , and Hie prospect IH that every Armenian will be dead , and tivory mlajlon- ary expelled , before * tbls Interference takoi place , * t * The German nation may well be congratu lated on the quarter of a century Juut past , For Germany U liaa been an era of peace , and of peace with unqueutloncd honor. It has also been an era of progress , and of vlc lories greater than thc 3 of war In the field of art , of Kdenco and of literature.

That great nerve and brain restorer , Palne-'s celery compound , does get rid of them and leaves no olmncf for t'nelr return , Ijoeauso the deep-seated cause the weakened nervous system at last Is sup plied with focd It has so sadly felt the- need of. The best physicians In every city In this country prescribe Pnlno's celery compound where a rapid building up of the system Is Imperative. As an Invlgorator in cases of nervous exhaustion , sleeplessness and poor state of blood It Is the mainstay of the ablest practitioners throughout the United States. A mere glance at the faces of weak , nerv ous , run-down persons after they have be gun to use this greatest of all remedies shows now rapid is the nourishing effect of Palno's celery compound. There are thousands upon thousands well today because they s-d Palno's celery com pound. other band , discoveries as to how to allovlata sultcrlnc ; , la promote education , to make men better qualified physically and mentally for their duties and obligations. That this prog ress and these triumphs will continue , and that war and Its train of evils may long bo deferred , lu the hope of every true friend of Germany and ot humanity. * * * It is n common thing now to Insist on th existence of bitterness and Jealousy between England and France , and to ridicule the Idea that in the political changes constantly cccur- ilng In Europe , there could ever bo. any alli ance between the two countries. This bollof Is based largely upon the English occupation ot Egypt , against which Franco Is constantly protesting. And yet the French people well know thai they themselves are responsible for the present condition of things In Egypt , It having boon brought about by Iho refusal of their government to co-oporato with Eng land In putting down Iho Arabl Pasha re bellion. The amour propro of France may have been dlslurbed by England's porslsient refusal to leave Egypt , but the thought of Iho humiliation of Germany uooner or later Is certainly of greater Importance lo her. It Is true that there \vos a long- series of wars between England and Franco In the olgh- loonlh cenlury and also in Iho beginning of Iho nineteenth century , which has not yet boon forgotten. But1 long before thai. In the sixteenth century , these two countries were stanch and close allies , and loss than half a century ago they stood together sldo by side at Alma and Inkcrman , and won Iho campaign In the Crimea. There have been stranger moves In the European political " ' 5 chessboard than a Franco-English alliance. The opposition throughout Franco to the holding of an International expedition In Paris In the year 1DOO seems to bo widening and strengthening. The project fs duo to a de cree of the chamber and sonata In 1892 , and - , : there Is now a strong demand that the decree - ; creo tiliould be annulled. The greatest oppo- , ( ' sltlon comes , of course , from provincial J France , bul oven Paris Is nol very onthuel- autlc over the scheme. It ID argued , thai there has been no Important discovery In any line of Industry since the last exposition , nor any now application ot science or now artistic movement great enough to justify the carrying out of the project. Even the Parisian newspapers argue that universal ex positions create uoalcsa economic burdens , that they lower civic dignity and that their displays are coarse and tawdry and have no elevating Influence on the people.
