that he was \ery much disappointed In not
being able to attend The local Lincoln
committee met with the members of the
Grand Army of the Republic. It was seen
at once when the committees began the
bUFliif-HH of the session that the question of
location of the reunion was still far from n
BPttlpinent , and that there was a wide dlver-
sltj of opinion. The local committee had
reported recommending the fair grounds u
the most eligible site for the location But
thcro at once developed some opposition.
Colonel Pace appeared us a champion of the
fair grounds It has liccu stated that the
park would not be available because there
would be an admission price charged b } the
management and H was thought this would
deter many people , not members of the
Grand Army of the Republic , from attend
ing It was stated today , however , that this
charge of ten cents a head could be avoided.
The committee was In session until 4 SO and
then adjourned tolslt both sites , the park
and fair grounds

Its to both Lincoln park and the fair
grounds an adjourned meeting \vas held at
the Capitol hotel , which lasted until after

tions These the local committee say to

b } the destruction of brr property by the
fire nt Dodge on September 17 last is progress
ing slowly. The theory of the plaintiff Is
that the fire caught from sparks thrown
out b } a locomotive ! on the westbound train
and that the locomotive was not properly
j managed It IB rumored that the plaintiff
has Important new evidence
Henry Stormer was the first wltneum. After
pointing out the location of plaintiff's prop
erty uml other locations In l > udge on a large
map. which he testified to being correct he
said the fire started about ten feet south of
a ha } t > hed. which was one of a string of
sheds about seventy feet long extending
south from William Nue\email's liver } barn.
The distance from the south line of the shed
near which the flic started to the north rail
of the defendant's track he had measured
cud It vvns 118 feet tlx Inihes While rtand
ing on the mill side track at the southeast
corner of Kouuluck'a mill near the teal
house he saw an engine of the westbound
train doing some snitching In the jards
The hwItching was done rapidly and there
was considerable steam coming from the
smokestack of the engine , accompanied by
cinders The w lud blew hard from the south
and the cinders were tarried north About
a minute after he heard the flre lxll and goIng -
Ing to the door of the engine room
saw the fire , which was then burning ten
feet south of the south end of the haj shed
It was burning In borne rubbish and was
about five or six feet in diameter Trom
where he stood there was nothing to pre
sent him from looking directly at the fire
CONTUSED ON TIXED LINES
On cross-examination It appeared that the
map which was used in this , cose differed
slight ! j In Blvins the local ion of the various
buildings In Dodge from that used on the
other trial and which he had testified was
correct His cross-examination was quite
lenght } , much of it In reference to his tc-s-
tlmouv given on the other trial
L K Walker swore that he was going
south across the tracks when his attention
was attracted bj the Iou8 puffing of a loco
motive He turned around and saw the en
gine of the westbound train throwing out
cinders from the smokestack as large as
grains of wheat Shortly after , while at
Houbinek's house a little west of south of
the mill , he heard the alarm He located the
Prc substantial ! } the same as Stormer.
Max Loedig was driving along the struct
parallel with the track and noticed the en
gine throwing out sparks as large as the
end of his little finger or a small hazel nut
They were li\e cinders He put out two
that fell in his bugSJ by stepping on them
Mrs Elizabeth Herten's deposition was
read She testified to seeing sparks emitted
from the smokestack of defendant's loco-
moth e on the afttrnoon of the big ( ire and
a few minutes after seeing the blaze near
the sheds. The plaintiff next called Dr
Mlle Bloomer and attempted to prove by him
that the engine of the westbound train was

A man civ ing the name of W C Roc-hl
who is undoubtedly a smooth bicycle thief
was captured by the police yesterday at a
bicycle store. 711 North Sixtcnuth street
Rochl claims to hail fiotn Chicago. Yes-
terda } morning he called at the above num
ber and offered for sale a ueaily new hlccle
The small price asked , which was only $20
aioused the suspicion of the proprietors , and
after closing the deal with the man told him
to call at a certain time in the afternoon for
his money. Tlie bicyile dealer then lu-
foimed the police , and two detectives were
detailed to Interview the stranger He ar
rived at the time stipulated , nud in answer
to questions propounded by the ofliceis got
considerably mixed He was taken to the
station and when searched a bill of lading
made out to W R Rieiner was found upon
him The bill called for a box of picture-
frames Upon bringing the box to the sta
tion it was found to contain another wheel
which had been taken apart and luill ;
packed into small space Rochl , alias
Riemer , when confronted with the proofs
of his crooked work at length admjtted that
the wheel found in the box had been stolen
in Chicago , but that he was not the party
who had done the work Ho. however , ad
mitted that he hdd agreed to dispotie of it
and had beaten his way from Chicago to this
city in a box car for that purpobe. He also
stated that he had Intended as soon us he
sold the wheels In this city to return to
Chicago
The police are of the opinion that the man
under arrest belongs to an organized hand
of bicycle thieves who carry on their opera
tions upon a laigc scale. Their evident
method is to secure the wheels in one cltj
and dispose of them in some other. Tlie
Chicago authorities have been notified of the
unest.

Clirlstlnii lltirtiiuiii. Poor Pnrin Clnlin-
iilit , TulUn of tlio CIIHN ,
Christian Hartman , one of the Douglai
county poor farm claimants , speaking of the
action of the supreme court In allowing a
rehearing of the cases , said that while it
was a surprise and disappointment to the
parties Interested , the attorney for the
claimants was still us confident of success
and of the ultimate result ns ho had ever
been. Mr. Hai tman said that Mr Beckett s
predictions through the public press gave
them up uneasiness and that their attorney
had advised them that there was no causa
for alarm , that icheanngs are often al
lowed without the lesults in uiij vva } being
changed , the rule- being that If an } one of
the judges who concurre-d in the decision
desired the matte'r to be reheard it would
be HO ordered , und inasmuch as in this case
the decision of the court was unanimous
that If any of the three judge-s or the thre > e
commissioners desired a further presenta
tion of the matter It would be BO ordered.
So that the allowing of a rehearing does not
in an } vva } foreshadow a change of heart on
the part of the court
' It would Bfem strange. " continued Mr
Hartman , "In a case which has been so
long before our supreme court and BO ex-
haUBtlve-1 } and thoroughly presented and
considered and twice unanimous ! } alllruied
If our highest court should BO suddenly
change its mind As I nude-island the
rule , on a motion for a rehearing oul } the
attorney presenting the motion is heard.
The court certainly could not have given
the motion for u rehearing a very careful
or thorough consideration As I am in
formed the motion was tiled on Moiida ) ;
the court convened Tue-Bday moinins and
passed on the motion Wednesday , In the
meantime , hearing numerous other raot-
teirs passing upon cases and other similar
motions lu fact I think the court was in
a burr } to get away for ita summer vacation
and concluded that It could do no harm to
allow the motion and permit the mutter to
be. further heard at the fall term
"I do not care to say an ) thing about the
merits of our cases , hut it seems to me
that the best evidence of that fact Is that
every judge and every court before whom
the case has been heard heietofore has
unanimously decided the cases in our
Javor ; Cist , two of the judges of this
county , and twice the six judges of the
Bujireme court. "
