( Special. ) A very appreciative and cultured audience nearly filled the Presbyterian church last evening to hear n lecture by Hon. Samuel Maxwell on "Tho Legal Anpec'ts of the Trial of Christ. " The judge prefaced his lecture by refer ring to the different prophecies of the coming of Christ which are scattered throughout the old testament. Those prophecies , a largo number of which he read , would leave no doubt In the mind of a bellovor In the Jowls ! ! scriptures of the future coming of a Messiah. The tlmo of His coming- and the place cf His birth were all foretold. The sanhod- tlm , the court before which Christ was tried , wan not the body upon which was conferred by the Jewish law the jurisdiction to try and sentence perrons who had transgressed that law , but n motiey assemblage composed of chief priests and scribes who were en raged at Christ's denunciation of hypocrisy and a lot of the rabble led on hy them. His arretit way not legally accomplished , but he was brought before the sanhedrim by an armed mob acting without legal authority. The Jewish law required the testimony Of nt ICast two witnesses to establish a fact. The Jews hired false witnesses to testify , but their testimony did not agree , so no con viction could ho had In that mcnnor. They then attempted to draw from Christ the nd- mlsDlon that ho was the Son of God. In answer to the question , "Art Thou the Son of God ? " His reply was , "Ye say that I am. " He did not before his judges admit His divinity. Chrlrt's miracles and teachings must have been known from ono end cf .ludca to the other , nnd If the sanhedrim had not before them the witnesses to prove those mlnxclea and teachings they could easily have been obtained. Such evidence would havu satis fied any tribunal that ho was the Christ and that Ills coming was In fulfillment of the prophecy of the coming of the Mcsslih , which doctrine was the basis of the Jewlth re ligion. The sanhedrim not having jurisdic tion to pronounce the death penalty , took Christ before Pilate. Neither Pilate nor Herod could find that he had committed nny offense against cither the Jewish or Roman law and wanted to release him. But the priests- clamored for hln death , alleging tlmt he had been found by them suiity of blas phemy and by their law should suiter death , and Pilate , though claiming that ho "was in nocent of the blood of this just person , " In order to satisfy the clamor of the Jews , per mitted him to be put to death. NJ principle : ) of cither Jewish or Roman lav. wore ob served at cither of his so-caiicd trials , and he was crucified to satisfy the demands of a mob who had become enraged it him because of his teachings and his arrJlgmacr.t of their hypocnty and evil doings. The judge's lect. ire % vas listened to vlth close attention unO was especially commended by the diu'crjiH clcr j men p.coeiu.

The execu tive council of the American Federation of Labor adjourned Ibis afternoon. It was given out that the headquarters will bo moved at the close of the present year to scmo other city , probably Chicago. The fol lowing committee tcport on the eight hour day question was unanimously adopted nnd given out as the sentiment oftlio council : At this hour , when myriads of workers are peeking employment , nnd , In tlielr de spair , numbers of them are captured by the siductlve theories and puttering' promises of securing s > tiito help , we , the American Federation of Labor , renlllrm thb necesslt" , cf concentrating nil the forces of the piuc- tlcal lubsr movement by the voluntary and collective efforts of the trades unions , J backed by a sympathetic public opinion. The general ami constant Introduction of I machinery : the minute subdivision * of labor ; the Irregularity of employment ; the contin ually recurring periods of Industrial nine- nation nnd financial panics ; the. hopeless watt of the unemployed ; all demand equal ization of the opportunities tlmt will come from the general adoption of the eight-hour day. AM other lines and economic theories within our ranks flini d be subordinated to the great task of giving to the unem ployed , and cf bettering the wages nnd con dltlons of all who toll. There Is no Improvement of more value to the working people than that which will lighten the burdens of those who are over- woikc.l and underpaid , and which will give employment to those who wander over by ways and highways , and searching In vnln for a better -chance to live. The realization of the eight-hour da.y to them means better food nnd raiment , happier homo" , better citi zens , a nobler manhood and a higher civ ilization. As wo approach this question we realize fully the magnitude of the Interested and selfish forces arrayed against us , the Indif ference of the working people themselves , their old time prejudices nnd the many dis sensions which divide them. Mote than all we recognize the need for a more thorough and "complete organization of every craft and occupation on trade union lines before wo can undertake a general or simultaneous stand for the eight-hour day. This severe Industrial crisis from which we are now emerging , however , shou'd bo a helpful lea- son to lead the Industrial classes Into such compact organization , which , when once at tained , will bring still greater achievements for the workingpeople. . We heartily approve the Fhorter work day asked for by the Journeymen Horseshoeis' National union nnd tender It and the United Brotherhood of Carpenters our active co operation and united assistance In their present efforts to reduce the hours of toll. We congratulate them that they are in a position to undertake this movement with out our financial aid. To Insure continued and successful efforts by the working peop'e In this direction the president and secretary ot the American Federation of Labor are hereby directed to Issue nn address to the wage earners of the country urging them to join the trade union movement with n view of securing a'.l possi ble advantages resulting from organization , nnd especially to put into operation the eight-hour work day ns soon as business will Justify such action without Injury to the public. That the aforesaid olllcers notify the ex ecutive he .is of all unions ulllllated with the American Federation of Libor of such action , and seek their co-operation and as sistance , and require them to correspond with employers to the end of securing nn expression of cplnlon on the voluntary con cession of nn eight-hour work day , nnd that a day be requested to select committees to wait upon employers with the same object In view. Further , that the press , pulpit , pub'.lc speakers and reformers generally , be urged to make the need ot an eight-hour work day a theme of concerted and persistent discussion. We hall the decision of the Bricklayers' and Stonemasons' International union to adopt the' eight-hour worlc day in their trades a hopeful sign of the Irreslstib'e movement for the establishment Of the eight-hour work day. BWIXIJLKIl TAKES HIS MOXEV. .lost-nil Moore I/OHCK Sftr nt tin- Union Dviiot. Joseph B , Moore was born In the little lulo of Man. At the police station yesterday ho expressed a wish that ho had never left the isle , but he was not as wise eight or nine months ago as he Is now and he departed from his countryland to sck his fortune In the new world. After coming to America Moore lived eight or nine months In MacDonagh county , Illinois , near the town of Monmoutb , where ho was employed on a farm. He dug and plowed , spwed nnd reaped until he had suc ceeded In laying up a snug sum of money. Then the Colorado fever seized him and he bought a ticket for Aspen , after which he lud $45 In cash. Ho arrived In the city over the Burlington at 8 o'clock yesterday. While- Moore was sitting in his sat In the car he was Joined oy a tall , good looking , well dressed man. A conversation followed , of course , and Moore told of his plans for discovering a rich gold mine. It happened that the stranger was also going to Aspen and as Moore was a stranger In a strang * land the new friend promised to steer him safely over the shoals. In the midst of these Interesting confidences the stranger suddenly stopped with a very emphatic exclamation and Moore innocently asked the cause of his trouble. "Trouble enough , " responded the stranger "I have forgotten to get my blooming tlcltot and it's five minutes of train time. I don't believe that I have" tlm& to get this check cashed , " he continued as he pulled out a check for ? 300. which ho flashed before the eyes of his companion. "I know I won't And I can't get into my trunk. You know I believe In free Mlver and therefore earn- all my money In that metal , As it Is rather burdensome , I lug U about In my trunk which Is In the baggage car. " ' The stranger continued to mourn until he suddenly came to the' climax and asked Moore If ho would lend him a little money with which to buy a ticket. Moore , grateful on account of the Interest the man had shown In htm , was perfectly willing and pulled out his slim roll of $45 and handed a twenty to the stranger. But the man wanted the other twenty , too , and Moore , who would probably have hesitated to loan a quarter of the amount to a known friend , handed it over. "Now you stay hero until I get back , " said the stranger , "while I got my ticket. I will hand this money back to you when we reach the next station , for then I will get an opportunity to get Into my trunk. " Moore waited In bis seat until the train began to move. Ho then got up and looked for bis new friend , but he was not to bo seen. He was then ndvleod to visit the police station , . "This is the best place for mn lo stay. " ho said when he arrived. "The man might not have got back In tlmo to get the train. Maybe ho will return the money and he would come here the first thing when he learned that the train was gone , " Moore gave a description of the "con" man and the detectives are now looking for him.

Itrnxt I'lnnllr QiilrtCtl liy Kit" liliitnt Trnlm-m Summoned from Ilii' Clly IMirliH ( liMt > .No \Vnriilntf of ( lie OntliffiiU. CHICAGO , March 23. A crazed elephant , which had killed her keeper and escaped from her quarters , charged up nnd down the Btreets and alleys ) of the West Side this afternoon , and although escorted In her wanderings by a small army of policemen , was not c.iptuied until Into tonight. The animal was the big elephant , Gypsy , attached to a traveling circus , and. Frank Scott , whom she killed this afternoon , lud had charge uf her for n number of years. About 1 o'clock ho went Into the stall where the big clcpliMit was confined and cast her loose. He then drove her Into the alloy and proceeded to give her the dally exercise. Scott mounted Gypsy's bead and rode her around for a tew minutes , finally stopping her nearly In front of the barn. Reaching ever In front , Scott jammed the Iron hook , with which he controlled the boast , Into her flesh Just above the right eye , then ho slid down her forehead to the ground. Scarcely had his feet touched the ground when Gypsy raised her trunk and knocked Scott to the ground. With a scream she seized the man In her trunk , raised him high In the air nnd hurled him violently against the doors of the shed. The force with which he was cast against the doors broke them down , and Scott landed on the ground Inside , crushed and broken. "Help , " ho cried , "she will kill me. " Hearing the noise Inside the shed , Gypsy reached In with her trunk after her keeper , who made all the effort his Injured condi tion would allow to get out of her reach. He continued to cry for old , nnd still Gypsy tried to get at him. Mrs. Fred Irwln , who lives In Jackson Boulevard , ran out Into the alley and tried to reach the doors of the barn In order to summon aid. Hut her movements were observed by Gypsy , and with a scream the elephant ran for Mrs. Irwln. She turned for her own gate , nnd reached It barely In time to avoid the big biuto as she thundered Into the alley. A call was Immediately sent In to the West Lake police ? station , and ths ambulance was dispatched to the scene. The officers , after much trouble , managed to get Scott away , but he died In n sliort time. Meanwhile Gypsy was wandering nt her own sweet will. She strolled from the barn to Jackson boulevard and back niraln. Twenty policemen were called from the West Lake street station , half a dozen from Warren avenue station and ton park police men , under Captain Patcek. No one cared to tncklo the brute. When ho was first In formed of the affair , Harris , owner of the animal , offered large sums for a man who would shoot her , but no one responded. Had Gypsy charged Into the street at any tlmo her victims would have been numerous , for the boulevard was thronged. The animal was finally quieted by the ele phant trainers from the city parks. The real name of the elephant Is said to be Empress , although she goes by the name of Gypsy , owing to her reputation for dan gerous temper. Scott Is the third man she has killed.

Miles estate , oiw of the heaviest depositors as well as one of the heaviest stockholders In the de funct Nebraska Savings and Exchange bank , has applied to Judge Key.sor for an order on the receiver of the bank compelling the receiver to Issue to stockholders who arc depositors certificates of deposit , the same as he Issues to depositors who are not .stock holders. The receiver has refused to linue certificates of deposit to stockholders on the theory that when the final accounting Is had and the stockholders ar ; called on to make good the deficit which seems likely to bo found the deposits of tha stockholders now In the hands of the receiver will be available for paying the assessment. An attorney , who is famll ar with the case , says that the Issuing1 of a cert flcato of de posit to the Miles estate would bo the same as paying out money which belonged to the depositors , as the estate Is Insolvent , nnd a full to force the collection of an assess ment for the payment of a defic't would bs fruitless unless the receiver retained the mcney now in h's hands.

The deed calls for 320 acres more or less In one one-half section nnd ninety acres In another half section. I wanted to put a fence on the cast line of the ninety acres , BO had the county surveyor run the line , nnd found that the owner of ndjolnhifj lind was farming Eome of mine. I took possession of what the survey Mild was mine. The other follow kicked ; said the line had been established years ngo ; fuithermore , that It was his according to law , viz. , ten years' peaceable possession I saw n lawyer and found such to be the CUEO , notwithstanding the fact that my deed calls for ninety acres In this half section , end for wh'ch ' I nm taxed , and which Is rightfully mine. A largo dlteh running close to the line and cutting oft a little nt ono corner makes It unhandy to get at from our nlde , and Is the reason the other fellow has baoii allowed to fnrm ft. According to this law ho has had the pioduct for ten years nnd now Is in possession of a strip of land nil for nothing , and simply because the former owners of my place didn't make him keep on his own land. There Is only one proper -way to buy land here : Find out where the undlfputed boun dary lines arc , have It surveyed and pay for what Is Inside of them. Simply because a deed cn'Is for a certain number of acres . Is no assurance tlmt they uro In the place. I urn out only n few ucics , and am thank ful It Is no worye , even If I have paid for what I know now. I IIOIKI this will cause many to Investigate before Investing. IOWA MAN.

The gist of the contention on which they base their demand for nn Appeal , as f understand It. Is that the decision of the mi- promo court of this state linn the effect of Impairing the obligations of a contract In violation of the provisions of the constitu tion. In a number of recent decisions the United States supreme court has held that It 1ms not appellate jurisdiction In such cane ? . " In support of this view Mr. Conncll cltea a decision of June , 1S9I , In which the court pays ! "Tho appellate Jurlallctlnt of the supreme - promo court can be Invoked upon writ of error to n t > tnto court on the ground that the obligation of n contract has been Impaired only when an net of legislation alleged to bo repugnant to a constitutional provision had been decided by tlio state court to bo valid , and not when an act admitted to bo valid has been misconstrued by the court.

Theao decisions , In the opinion of the city attorney , effectually block nny effort of the Burlington to obtain an appeal to the United States supreme court.
