Afl evidences nt a strike , on the Machinery
buiidlng nt the exposition grounds have dls
nppcared. Twenty-five carpenters wcro t
work yesterday and the building pre
sented an animated appearance. Contractor
Hamilton stated that a carload ot Iron which
liuil been delaying1 tbo work had arrive J and
would tc unloaded at once. The largo posts
which will support the roof trusses were
being framed by a force of men , and the bo'.U
Jn the car in question will bo ufaIn \ these
pests. The delay In receiving this Iron has
interfered with the erection of the central
dome which will form the main entrance of
thin building and thin work will bo pushed
nt the sumo time thnt the root Is being put
on.
Referring to the strike , Mr. Hamilton said
that thn strlko committee had misrepre
sented somewhat In saying that he was the
only contractor on the ground who was stand-
log out against the demands of the car
penters. Ho pioduccd a card on which
nppcared the Hlgnaturc of W. H. Pnrrlsh ,
contractor of the Liberal Arts building , under
a atitcmcnt to the effect that ho had no In
tention of paying carpenters n ifiat rate of 30
centa per hour or ot working eight hours per
day on ll-e Liberal Arts building. Mr. Hamil
ton said this wns a direct contradiction of
the statement reported to have been made by
tl.p strlko committee that Mr. I'arrlsh would
agree tn tilt demands. He nlso stated that
P. J. Crccclon , contractor fur the Auditorium ,
had told him that ho would not employ a
union man If bo knew him to be such.
"Them are some men employed by mo who
am being paid .10 cents per hour and others
who are not getting that much. Some ot the
work is of such a character that almost nny-
ono can do It , and there Is no money tn payIng -
Ing high prices tor work that a cheap man
can do just as welt. I have an entire new
force with the exception of two men , who
havu been taken back and two or three who
did not strike. I have a better furco than
before , and will not consider any proposition
whl"h would rompel mo to dlsdiargo thcso
men.
"I um satisfied , " continued Mr. Hamilton ,
"that if this matter is settled by giving In to
the carpenters , that they would .soon find
something else to strlko for. They think that
If they can force the eight-hour rule the sur
plus labor would be absorbed. The next thing
thby would do would be to strike for 40 cents
per hour. I dove learned from good author
ity that some of the leading men' among the
carpenters have- boasted that they would get
60 cents an hoiir out of the exposition before
the work U finished. I believe that this
thing must bo met , und i am In favor of
blngins U. to an Issue at once and having
It settled. "

onthis wing Is well under way. The coverIng -
Ing ot the columns of the entrance dome Is

and the Interior of the demo Is being
covered with the white stucco. Work
has been commenced on both ends of the
bu'ldlng ' by the staff workers and a showing
has been madq. The time Is fast approaching
when It will bo Impossible for the plasterers
to work on the plain surtaccs on the outside
ofthe building on account of frost and the
part of this work remaining unfinished will
have to bp postponed until spring. The car
penter work Is progressing , the roof being

The - trussesblch will support the central

Yesterday was "Rally day" in tJio public
schools of Omaha ami Nebraska. The day was
designated , at the request of the Women's
'Board ' ot Managers of the exposition , ns the
occasion In which the contributions of the
children toward the erection of the Boys'
and Girls' building should be banded In. A
number of handsome prizes have been pro
vided which will be awarded to the schools
thnt make the best showing In the competi
tion. Any contributions that were not handed
In yoatardtty will not bo considered In the
competition. No reports have yet been re
ceived In regard to the success of the plan In
the schools , but from the Interest that has
been manifested by the children and ttielr
parents It Is expected that the aggregate re
sult of the Cay's contributions will reach a
very respctable sum.

The body of James Nichols was found
floating the Missouri river yesterday after
noon by a fisherman. The latter , W. 11. Sims ,
WJB bolting his trout line , four miles south
of the city , near Gibson station , when he dis
covered the form ot Nichols In the current.
Ho dragged It to a sand bar and notified the
coroner.
An examination of the dead man revealed
thn name of J. Nichols In India Ink on his
collar band and his full name was given In
a note contained In a pocket. The paper was
stained and discolored , but the following re-
'
nue'st was declpcred :
"You will do me a favor by letting Mr.
James Nichols have my mall. Mrs. Mattle
U. Sykes. " illelow was written , "Train , from
St. Louis. "
Uiesidos thrf writing a number of old' coins
were founJ on the body. One was a penny
dated Straits Settlement , a colony In lower
Hlndoostnn. There was n 2-rels piece milled
In Spain In 1831 , Hesldes these and a dozen
old United States cents , of the large size ,
thcro was no money found. One pocket con
tained a number ot ancient pln-flro car
tridges. A largo folding store key and a
horse chestmit completed Nlchol's posses
sions.
The dead man was rust middle life and
below avcmge height. Ho was dressed In
summer clothing , which was thought to Indi
cate that the body hail been In the water a
considerable length of time. He wore no
coat , but there wcro no marks on the body
pointing to violence. The authorities could
find no corresponding name In the directory
and as yet have failed to ascertain -tho dead
man's personality. They consider It possible
tint tJio body may have traveled from up the
river , even us far as Sioux City , as It might
have avoided all sand bars above the ono
near Gibson station.
The bar on which the body was floated Is
well situated for the lodgement of floaters
and has Intercepted four during the last year.
Ono wus that of a colored girl and two others
were Infants. It Is an extensive one and
bears the Incongruous name of Pysche's
Island. It was necessary to carry -tho body
of N-lchols over a quarter of a mile of un
trustworthy sand to gain the mainland.

The meeting of the Centra J-abor union last
night was spent In the rehearsal of the diffi
culty which the Brewers' ucilou has been
having during the last two years with Its
employers. When the strike occurred at the
beginning of that period a boycott was de
clared by the Central Labor body. This , It
Is Raid , has not been lived up to and In addl.
tlon the Omaha Brewing association has
formed a union of Its own and reftwes to
employ all outslJo of this organization. Ac
cordingly , the striking brewers feel that they
are making Indifferent progress and complain
that organized labor haa grown lukewurm lu
their support. The remarks of the brewers
bore fruit , and a committee of three , con
sisting of F. M. Youngs , Joseph Bayerd and
V. B. Klnney was appointed to confer with
the brewing cmpUycrs and endeavor to adjust
the matter
The credentials of J. W. Youngs and J. P.
Hayes of the Machinists' union 'wero ' favor
ably acted upon and were those of E. E. Ed-
helm from the Plumbers' union. The old
trouble of the theater employes reappeared ,
and Messrs. Bell , Schupp and Clark will
make an endeavor to close a satisfactory
peace.

JUDGES QUIT THEIR JOBS

Oity Hall Quarters.
MIMIC PAL COURT GOES OUT OF BUSINESS
of ilic SuiiriMiir Cunrt No !
Only aotiiptlcnfri Matter * , but
Innurrx n llnrvrnl for
the J
In obedience to tlio decision of the supreme
court the municipal court , which has
occupied quarters on the fourth floor of the
city hall for scvur.it months past , turned up
Its official toes yesterday ami Judges
Magney , Wnro anil Durnam and Clerk
Cosgrovo became plain everyday citizens.
TIic decision that the law by which the court
was created was unconstitutional was some
what unexpected to the Judges , who had con-
fldcntly anticipated that the supreme court
would take a different view of the case.
Nevertheless , they promptly proceeded to
pack up their papers and by the middle of
the forenoon their offices In the city hall
wore dcoertcd. They turned the keys over to
Custodian Sodgwlck and passed down nnd
out. taking with them only their pcrsoual
papers and tl.o Judicial prefix which con-
sltutcd the only souvenir of their brief
enjoyment of the Judicial prerogative. The
city ofllcliils , who were removed to less com
modious quarters to make room for the
municipal court , will be allowed to move back
to their old ofUcca , as 'the ' dissolution , of the
new court haa been complete.
In regard to thu litigation that lias been
adjudicated by the court during Its brief
Icuse of life there la likely to bo an em
barrassing controversy. The Judges unite In
the assertion that whllo the cases that still
remain ou their dockets will hive to betaken
taken to eonio other court the judgments
that have been rendered will stand. City
Attorney Conncll Is equally positive that no
act of the municipal court will have force ,
now that the law by which It was created
hus been declared unconstitutional. He as
serts that In the light ot yesterday's decision
the municipal court has had no more power
to deliver judgments than , any moot court
that might bo organized In a law school. lie
says that all the cases that have been tried
before the municipal Judges represent an
absolute waste of time and that the Judg
ments rendered are not worth the papei they
are written on. As parties who have obtained
favorable decisions will be anxious that those
decisions should stand , while others will bo
equally desirous that they should be
nullified , the validity ot the transactions of
the municipal court while the question ot Its
constitutionality was pending will probably
be made an Issue In the district court. This
question U also Important to the officers of
the Abolished court In that It Involves their
right to collect the fees from which their
salaries arc to be paid.
The dissolution of the municipal court Is
particularly gratifying to the Justices ot the
peace , whoso emoluments ot olllco were il-
most entirely taken away by that tribunal.
The great bulk ot the business Wwt has pre
viously been adjudicated in justice court bis
either been taken to the municipal court or
held In abeyance until the question of con
stitutionality was settled. The effect of the
decision lr to Immediately throw the entire
volume of this litigation back Into the justice
courts and the justices have prospects of all
the business that they ca'n attend to for some
time to come.
The eflcct Is also visible In the county
court , from which fully three-fourths of the
civil business had been transferred by the
municipal court law. Since the now court
bis been In operation the civil business In
county court haa been so light that the fees
.havo not been sufficient to pay the expenses ,
but now It Is expected that the volume of
business will return to the former standard.
AMUSEMENTS.
If Robert Mantell bo not quite "the only
American exponent ot the romantic drama. "
as the play bill modestly claims , he Is at
least an octor of romantic roles of whom
many pleasant things have boon said at one
time and another , and many hopes enter
tained for growth nnd fuller fruition. He
comes this acajou after n year or two of
absence , bringing a. pluyi which Is not likely
either to Increase the number of agree'ablc
compliments or to encourage fond bxpes of
Mr. MantcM's development. The piece Is tin-
work of one \V. A. Tremayne , and Is called
"A Secret Win-ant. " The time Is that of
the financiering schemes of John Low , antl
the scene France. "A Secret Warrant" Is
full 'of people rushing In and out of doors ,
uttering platitudinous sentiments , calling
ono another "Mosseer , " escaping noisily on
horseback and doing all sorts of things at
the stroke of the clock. Hands readily find
their way to rapiers and God Is frequently
adjured to sivo the dramatis personae from
the unfortunate situation Into which their
own folly or the evils of villains have led
them. The piece Is not well constructed , well
written nor , save by two or three of the
members of the company , well played.
Nevertheless , the largo audience last night
seemed to like the performance.
Mr. Mantell , as has been suggested , docs-
not appreciably enhance his reputation by
his work In the roa ! of Louis dc Itoiumont.
Ho is decidedly n , wooden soldier of fortune.
Miss Behrens , on the contrary. Is Interesting ,
Ingenuous and as effectiveas the author
permits In the part of Marguerite. Mr.
Keenan rujikcs a good Impression for sin

Yesterday nfternAon-xt lloyd's theater the
Omaha Orchestral ) rwlety g.jve Its second
concert In the presence , ot n lamentably small
audience. It Is a fact that very many musi
cal people knew nothing of Mr. Adclmann's
concert nnd therefore were not present to
hear It.
A marked Improvement was noticeable over
the- first performance. The numbers on the
program were nrorcr In reach ot the players
nnd the good effects ot several rehearsals
was easily discernible. The work of the
strings was nt times really fine and the
horns did not need to Issue so many search
warrants after Initial notes. Mr. Ailelmnnn
Is perfectly nt home In the lighter order of
music nnd leads his men to some fine effects
when ho hlmsblf bis n conception of them ,
but whou he simply beats tlmo whllo they
wander through n succession of meaningless
notes the effect Is not satisfactory to the
listeners or creditable to him or his men.
This was the case In the processional from
the second not of "l/ohoiiRrln , " which was
*
taken at much too slow a tempo and was
played throughout la a lifeless ; expression
less" manner that dime near making ono ot
the most beautiful compositions ever written
tedious and tiresome.
The overturns to "Don Junn" and "Strn-
della" were well plaved ami the Hungarian
Kantalslc was a rcvolatlin of light nnd shade ,
variety ot rythm , unity and precision. The
work of the strings In the g-ivott by Olllet
made It the gem of the concert. It should
have followed the Flirtation waltz , not pre
ceded It.
Master Karl Smith was the soloist of the
occasion nnd demonstrated moro plainly than
heretofore the extent ot his remarkable
talent. He played with the orchestra ( which
accompanied him skilfully and with a sub
dued tone that was In. the best of taste ) the
Cioltermaim concerto for vlollncello and ex
hibited clear technique , accurate Intonation ,
superb bowing nnd a conception o3 the work
that speaks well for his musicianship.
Mr. Adelmann will give his next concert
In Boyd's theater Friday afternoon. Novem
ber 19. It Is to bo hoped that the public
will bo allowed to know ot this concert before -
fore It Is over and that those who enjoy
music will he present. The upbuilding ot
orchestral anuslo In this city will bo coinci
dent with the development of public appre
ciation.
A musical and literary program of unusual
excellence was presented by the members of
the Lowe Avrniue Presbyterian church to an
audience which completely filled the neat llt-
tlo edifice last night. Those who attended
came prepared for a treat , and they were not
disappointed. Applause was frequent and
long continued , and many of the entertainers
were obliged to repeat their numbers.
The first on the program was a piano duet
by Miss Clam niumer and Mrs. Zlmmer. A
IMSS solo by Dr. It. W. llalley followed , and
and was one of the best selections given
during the evening. "The Land of Swal
lows , " n duet by Mrs. Llpplncott and Mrs
Campbell nf Lincoln , received Its meed of
praise , as also did the violin solo by J. I.
Cook , with Miss Nettle Haverly as accompati-
Ist. A recitation -by Jessie Brown Dorward
was given In the tinral good form of this
well-known elocutionist and1 was followed by
a contralto eolo by Miss Divld A. Campbell.
The first portion iof the program was com
pleted with a solo by Miss Getty.
The "Elegle. " a violin solo by J. I. Cook ;
"Tlio Night Tlmd , " a tenor solo by W. H.
Wilbur ; a soprano solo by Mrs. Charles A.
Llpplncott , a piano solo by special request
by MIsg Cara ! Hawley nnd a vocal duct com
pleted a most enjoyable evoulng's program.
Beginning on- Monday evening , Julia Mar
lowe will appear-In aiJour days' , engagement
at Boyd's theater , . Her admirers will see
her In three widely , different roles Mary ,
the daughter of.xMigus ; Juliet ot the Capu-
lets , and Parthenln. It has been arranged
to divide the engagements as follows : Mon
day and Tuesday evenings nnd Wednesday
matinee. "For Bonnie I'llnce Charlie ; "
Wednesday evening , "Romeo nnd Juliet , "
and Thursday evening , "Ingomnr. " The first
named play Is the latest addition to Miss
Marlowe's repertory. Everywhere It has been
received .with . favor , end an especial com-
mendatlnn ot It has been that It gives Miss
Marlowe the greatest opportunity of her
career. "Romeo and Juliet" will be put on
magnificently , special attention being paid
to the scene'ry and costume ? . "Ingomar"
has not been offered by Miss Marlowe for
sotno years , ami those who remember her
success as "IVirthcnla" will welcome Us

The A. Y. Pearson Stock company will

"Tho Land of tlio Midnight Sun" for the
performances on Wednesihy , "A Midnight

performances will doubtless provu attractive
to that large class ot theater goers which

the Alton Ho ml.
The announcement that J. Plerpont Morgan
Is negotiating tor the Icaso ot the Kansas
Pacific to the Chicago ft. Alton tor a long
term of years created a little flurry In rail
road circles bore. Nothing official lias
been received or Is expected on the matter
by the management of the Union 1'aclflc In
thl city. A representative of the Union Pa
cific , In speaking of the matter yesterday ,
said : "There have been so many rumors to
the effect tb/H the Altoa would absorb the
Kansas Pacific that ono scarcely knows how
to take this report. We know nothing about
It hero. "
Other railroaders regard the report as prob
ably correct. The Chicago & Alton has for
a long time operated through sleeping and
chair cars from Chicago to Denver , via Its
own line to Kansas City nnd over the Kan
sas Pacific from tluro to Denver. This Is a
fast train , and the service has always been
regarded as exceptionally good. The train
Is the fastest between Chicago nnd Denver ,
via Kansas City. This through service over
the Alton and the Kansas Pacific has brought
the lines closely together , and that they
should form a clcso compact and bo absorbed
under ono management la a report that Is
generally given credence by railroaders here.
Special Master Cornlsii postponed the sale
of the Kansas Pacific , which was to have
taken place Thursday , until Thursday. De
cember 1C. The greatest fear ot the Union
Pacific reorganization committee has been
that congress , assembling before the date
fixed for the sale of the Kansas Pacific ,
would take up the matter nnd seriously Inter
rupt the committee's carefully laid plans.
The kaso to the Chicago & Alton would al
together change matters. As pointed out
by well posted railroad men here , such a
lease would place the Kansas Pacific In the
hands of J. Plerpont Morgan , , but through
another medium than the Union Pacific reor
ganization committee.

The suit ot the Evans heirs of Arapahoe
county , Colorado , against the receivers of the
Union Pacific for the recovery of certain
lands In dispute Is engaging the attention
of the United States circuit court and of
representatives ot the government , of the
Union Pacific , and ot Its reorganization com
mittee at St. Paul. Those who left
hero Thursday to be present at the hearing
before Judge Walter Sanborn nt St. Paul
were : General John C. Cowln , special
counsel for the government ; AVIlllara H.
Kelly , general solicitor for the Union Pa
cific , and Wlmslow S. Pierce , attorney , and
Lawrence W. Greer , assistant attorney , for
the Union Pacific's reorganization committee.
The suit Is ot Importance at this tlmo
because of Its possible effect on the con
firmation of the Union Pacific foreclosure
sale. The plaintiffs In the suit originally
asked that an Injunction against the sale -bo
granted. Now It is asked that the sale
held here the early part of the present week
bo not confirmed. The dispute Is over lands
which Green , a director of the Union Pacific ,
Denver & Gulf railroad , Is alleged to have
sold to himself. 'His attorneys. Teller and
Smith , appeared before Judge Sanborn
yesterday to defend bl # rights to the lands
which would bo adversely affected were the
sale to be confirmed.
It Is not regarded as probable that the
suit of the Evans heirs will In any way In
terrupt the Union Pacific foreclosure pro
ceedings. Any Interruption of the confirma
tion of the sale will be vigorously opposed by
the representatives of the Union Pacific and
of the reorganization committee. It was the
news of this suit that was sprung by those
opposing the foreclosure Hilo of the Union
Pacific , Just before the sale was made , as
certain evidence that the sale would not be
held. It Is to this suit that those opposed
to the Union Pacific sale now look for an
Interruption of the confirmation. The con
sensus of opinion among those most familiar
with the foreclosure proceedings Is that they
will not be Interrupted nor the confirmation
postponed.
Krom St. Paul , Wlnslow S. Pierce , attor
ney , and Lawrence W. Grecr , assistant attor
ney ot the Union Pacific reorganization com
mittee , will proceed to New \orit , wnero tne
offices of tbo committee are located.
