LINCOLN , Feb. 10. ( Special. ) The attor neys for J. S. IJaitlcy today filed In the supreme premo court their motion and application for n rehearing ot the case. The application Is accompanied by a voluminous brief con taining tbo arguments In support of the ap plication. The brief opens as follows : "This case , with 1(8 ( record of more than 1,200 pages , ft as submitted to the court 01 briefs and argument December 22 last. At the expiration of eight working dajs ni opinion was handed down affirming the Judg ment of the trial court. It Is to bo regretted that In a case of so much Importance , the record of which discloses a sentence o twenty years' Imprisonment and the Imposi tion of a flno so oxhorbltant that If the de fendant vvcro Imprisoned ono day for every M nf I hi. flnn Imnnord. moro than 277 jears must elapse before ho would be entitled tea a discharge under the provisions ot eectlon f,28 of the Criminal Code , that an oppor tunity for a more extended examination o the record and a full consideration of the ( [ motions Involved and presented wan no afforded. It Is doubtless duo to the press of official duties that vital questions pre sented and urged at the bar and In the briefs are Ignored by the opinion. Under the constitution of this state the writ o error Is a writ of right In all cases of felony and the defendant Is entitled not only to have his case fully presented , but to have every question Involving his liberty deter mined and determined according to law. I that has not been done , wo may confidently appeal to the court for a rehearing , for the rule which permits It presupposes that cases may arise lu which such rehearing Is ncecs sary In the administration of Justice. Such a case Is now presented. " QUESTION OP MONEY. In discussing the qucfltlon of whether ' was "money" that was embezzled , the bile says : "A man may be put on trial for steal Ing 'money' and proof given that he stole n promlssary note , or a chatte. mottgage , era a ton of coal , or a bushel of totaloes , fo any ot these things may be consldccci equivalent to money , and any of them , I accepted aa pajmcnt of n check , will pay the check as effectually IIH gold coin. " In ttic following paragraph the brief holds that the defendant was sentenced because the state had lost the money : "It wouh appear that the Judgment of the trial cour was affirmed , not s much bemuse the defendant fondant was accorded a fair trial or because the record Is free from piejudlclal errors which should work a reversal , but because 1 Is an assured fact that the state Is minus $201,88403 by the transaction. We tcspccl fully Insist that It la not only material , bu It is of the greatest Importance to the prcs cut Inquiry whether the state may or ma } not be able to recover from the Omaha Na tlonal bank or any other person or corpora tlon , becauss upon that question depends the question whether or not the state Is minus $201,884.05 , the mlrusncss of which the cour assumes as an assured fact. " MATTER OF CONVERSION. The concluding portion of the brief reads "There Is no claim or pretense on par of the state that the defendant received any portion of this $201.SS4.05. If ho did not how could he bo guilty ot converting It to his own use ? Ho was not charged with the embezzlement of the proceeds of the war rant , and as to the warrant Itself , the accusation was dismissed. * * * The only charge against the defendant was the embezzlement of $ ? 01,881.05 on the seconc day of January , 1897. Section 124 of the Criminal Cede makes it n felony for a pub lic oltlcer to convert public mcney to his own use , or to the use of any other persoi or pprsans , body-corporate , affloclatlon o varl } whatever. The defendant could nebo bo guilty of converting to his own UEO wha ho did not receive. If It were admitted-that the facts are as stated by your honors In the opinion , It Is clear that If there was a conversion of the money It was to the use of n body-corporate and not to the use o the defendant , and the verdict Is unsup ported by any testimony. For this reason If for no other , a rehearing should bo granted , " The motion for rchcaTlng cites thirty noven reasons why a reheailng should be granted. Among theseIt Is stated that the decision of the court was based on a mis apprehension of the evidence and the facts One of these was that "tho criminal acts * * 1 , n . .n.wl IM flirt InfnrmnMnn fllpfl in county were not the same criminal acts charged In the Information filed In Douglas county. " TUio attorneys hold this to be a misapplication. They say that "no money having been embezzled In fact , defendant could not ( be guilty of embezzlement as a matter of law. " The assumption of the court of a segregation ot money at the tlmo the check was presented to the ( bank Is not uphell by the author tics. The failure of the authorities to support the decision In many other points is also cited. The tenth reason says : "Tho court de clines to decide wfliethcr the warrant In question was valid or void , although the validity or Invalidity of that warrant Is a vital quest'on In the case and was presented In the briefs and discussed at the bar. " The application further says : "Tho question of the constitutionality of the depository act was an Import/int / ono In the case and was presented by the brief , tout the court de clines to pass upon that question , 'but at the same time holds that defendant cannot ques tion tlio validity of the act when ho has rec ognized It by placing money In a Dank made a doposltory under the act. The effect of this Is to deny the defendant a hoirlng upon a vital question In the case anil to condemn him without a hearing. " LANSING OLIVER. CASE. Judge Holmes of the district court today decided the I anslng-Ollver case , which was Instituted by .Mrs. Mary Oliver , now owner of the Oliver theater , against James F. Lan sing to recover some uccnery and other stage effects , which ho took from the opera house about two months ago , The opera house was constructed six jcars ago and named the Lansing theater.

W I'cters pf Nlckcr-iou on "The LU-st Horse for All 1'urpuses. Mr. Peteis thought the comparatively small horse , one weighing from 900 to 1,200 , was the oie best adapted for general all-round use on the average Ne braska farm. Such a horse of kindly dis position , safe and not afraid to meet any thing his driver asked him to. In his opin ion wai the Ideal farm horse. Ho didn't believe lo a coming horseless age. Con siderable dlscuiislon followed his paper , the general opinion being that for farm work a heavier horse was needed. N. J. fionln ot Fremont read1 an excellent paper on "Tho Trotting Horse : How to Train Him and His Value. " America , ho said , had produced the gicatcst trotters of the world and some of the best of these were Nebraska bred. All or nearly all trot ting Block , ho said , was descended from Kysdlck's Hanibletonlan and thiough him to Arabian stock. The American trotters are better than the English on account of their superior Intelligence. Mr. Honln's descrip tion of the best methods of trakilng a colt for the track were largely those used by himself. Regular work not beyond the abil ity of the horse la necessary. Mr. Itonln docs not believe In using hobbles or other appliances , which ho termed horse para phernalia , In training trotters. For a good trotter a good price can always bo ob tained. O. W. Whltcmoro of Valley had for hls > subject "The ( Best Horses to Ualse " The best ho considered the large size thorough bred 1'erchcron draft horse , weighing up ward of 1,500 pounds. The demand for this class ot horses exceeded that for any other. Every 100 pounds In weight ot such a horse over 1,500 added $25 to his value. This is the only class of horses that the export buyers are after at present. Next to the thoroughbred Pcrcheron ho would place the high grade of the same class. The good driver sixteen to sixteen and one-half hands high , weighing about 1,100 , he would place nc\t , while the trolter ho would put at the foot of the list. He didn't think a farmer should raise trotters because he could not train them and they didn't bring enough money. In the discussion which followcil Mr. Honln reminded him that the presen ! typo of trotting horse lo a larger , heavier animal than the ono of a few years past and that the trotter can do anything any other horse can do , but the draft horse cannot The afternoon session was under the di rection of the women , Mrs. W.

( Special. ) The regular proceedings of the Grand Army of the Republic encampment opened last night with an nddrcaj of welcome by Major Alex ander Rear , who during the war was.a sur geon In the confederate army. His remarks were highly appreciated by the "bo > s , " his address being Interrupted again and again by cheers and tumultuous applause. At the close of his address ho was heartily con gratulated and given a rising vote of thanks and hKi address ordered made a part of the records. Ho spoke as follows ! Gentlemen of the Department of the Grand Army of the Hepubllc : As the chief executive oillccr of this city It is my priv ilege as well as pleasure to welcome > ou In the nnmo of the city mid Its inhabitants and to tender you Its freedom and hospi talities. I welcome you as the survivors of the grandest nrmy that ever marched to battle. I welcome you for y < * ur heroic achievements 'Which have been woven Into SOUR nnd story and shall be sung uy tne children of the republic until time shall be IID more. I welcome you because In sun shine and In storm. In victory nnd defeat , sou followed your Hap ni a pillar of cloud by day and flre by nlpht , and left the record of your achievements on the brightest pages of your country's history. I welcome jou , ladles of the Ilellcf corps , for in your sphere you did no less than your fathers , husbands , sona and brothers. You cheered nnd fanned the llama of their patriotism nnd gave with resignation your fallen heroes and wel comed home with glistening eyes nnd grate ful hearts Hie victorious veterans. Lastly , I welcome and tmlutc you n.s comrades , n soldierly word with all Its tender recollec tions and clustering' memories. Yes , I salute you as comrades nnd though I wore the gray my greeting- carries with It my Kind est vvlbhes , mv warmest esteem and my earnest hopes for jour prosperity nnd vvol- fait. I shall attempt no euloglum on the achievements of comrades , living or dead , absent or present. The soldiers on cither side of that gigantic struggle gtvve Imperlsli- ab'e ' prestige arjil Ijnnor to American valor ; both Mdc'S fceK actuated by the most ex alted motives. Whatever mav bo the dif ference about the war and Its causes , no brave or generous person can deny that It was made up of deeds of desperate valor , great military strategy , unparalleled endur ance of hardship and patriotic heroism on cither side. You , my friends , felt that re publican povernment nnd liberty Itself was gone If the union of the states was dis solved. The southern soldier believed In the sovereign rights of the states and the union with only certain delegated powers and jcuaiantced rights and defending his homo ami Ills property from Invasion. CONSCIENTIOUS PATRIOTISM. The ardor with which they rallied around their respective Hags from Invasion nnd followed them through sacrlllces , through danger and death was equal and proves their conscientious patriotism. Kach soldier who laid down his life on either side for his country thougit that he died for a holy cause. Uoth sides believed they were right. Self-sacrifice unto death for what a man believes Is heroism , and heroism that de serves Immortality > cs , more than deserves It , carries Immortality In his breast. It Is plven us now to see that high motives weio not all ranged under one banner , that that sublime devotion that leads a man to leave wife and home nnd mother for the hardships of battle and the crown of death wore alllte the blue and the gray and tl.it the passionate tears of widowed and orphaned love fell like summer's rain from eyes that opened these to the northern ajid those to the southern sky , and thus with clearer vision we now can see that our American conflict was not the conlllct of one generation , that it was as unavoidable as the devastating cyclone summoned by mvstlc forces from a summer's calm. So far ns the generation that fought It was Involved they were the actors of the Inevitable. You. my friends , won , not by virtue of superior powers , not by abler gen. eralshlp nor by Hiil > llmer devotion to duty ; you won because slavery did not harmonize with the battle hymn , of the republic. The decree had gone forth that this country could not endure "half slave and half fiee' and the American llag could no longer lloat over the slave pen and the auction block. To underrate the courage , the endurance nnd the heroism of the men who wore the gray is to dim the lustre and tnrnlbh the lame of the men who wore the blue. The heart of every lover of his country swells with just prldo at the tnought that the men of 1SG1 to 1SGT of the north and of the south who displayed such skill nnd such bravery In battle , such endurance nnd patience , through years of privations and sufferings , such manhood In defeat and such magnlrnlty In vlctoiy , were ono people , bone of ono bone , flesh of ono llesh , Americans all , di vided then , united now , proclaiming the gospel of liberty founded on justice , with nlil nlnrv wnlvlnir over her children , whether they wore the blue or the gray ns they inarched forward for a common country and common destiny. After listening to the address of Commander - mandor John A. Khrhardt the election of olllcers followed , resulting In the choice of T J. Majors of Peru for department com mander and Captain Evans of North Platte senior vleo commander. A rousing campfire - fire was then held , lasting until late at night. RESOLUTIONS.

( Mrs. Mary McFadden. with 'her ' family of eight children , are also supposed to be under the fallen walls , os they lived In a house on 'Mul ' berry alley which was crushed , and nothing has 'been ' seen of them since the explosion last night , and It Is believed all are dead. All day long , firemen , policemen and other city emplojcs have been working , at the risk of their lives , but up to nightfall but little progress hod been made In the clearing away of the debris. The work will be continued without cessation until it Is known no bodies remain burled. Blackened walls tower from the midst of heaps of smouldering rubbish , threatening to topple over at any minute. Twenty streams are constantly playing on the still burning ruins. A heavy pall of smoke over hangs the desolate scene , nnd the tired po licemen have hard work to keep the hands of curious onlookers from getting within the rope cordon. Many of the people who fled stricken from their homes last night are plucking up courage enough to return to the houses not Jeapordizcd by the flro weakened walls. Mayor Ford this afternoon , realizing that some of the worst features of tho.calamity nrn vnf * n pnmo. n far as the dead and heads ot families are concerned , and that the many will bo In need of aid , issued a public letter suggesting subscriptions from the citizens for distribution among the needy victims. There is no reason to change last night's estimate of the aggregate lohs to property. It Is difficult to get figures , but Insurance experts say that it will be at least Jl.500,000 and may bo more. The total Insurance Is variously estimated at from $800,000 to ? ! , - 250,000. L-to tonight the headless body of William McGonnlgle , assistant engineer of the Chau- tauqua Ice companj" , was taken from the ruins and Identified The body at the morgue supposed to ibo John Scott has been posi tively Identified as that of that young man , mill riir Miu-kr Iliirm-il.

In the morning there was a formal program of exercise * at the Jascphlnum , which was uudcr the direct ( d rgc of Mgr. Jessing. Rev. A. J. Thlol ot Chicago presented nn address to Mgr. Schoedcr , expressing regret on behalf of the German Catholics of the country on his de parture and severely censuring the trustees of the Catholic univnclty. Rev Thlel , on bchnlf of 2,000 priests rep resented , presented Mgr Schroeilrr with a purse of $4,000. Mgr. Schroeder replied with much fooling , accepting the gift. In discussing his IP- inovnl from the chair of dogmatic theology In the university he raid he had been charged with teaching doctrines which \\cio tin- catholic and his dismissal had shown that they wore teaching many things which the people of Hie church no Icr-ger accepted In the afternoon n farencll bamiuct was held at the Southern hotel.

Such hearty and continuous laughter as regarded Tim -Murphy's efforts to amuse lost night has not been heard lu Bojd's theater In many a weary week. The droll and dry comedian , who needs no curtain speech of candid avovvol to assert his Irish origin , caught 'cm , as the sajlng Is , both going and coming going , with his clever Imper sonations of famous actors , and coming , through tbo Instrumentality of a cheery fairy talc of .a play with an exceedingly di verting nnd well sustained character sketch as the central figure. "Old Innocence , " which Is the mainstay of Mr. Murphj's entertainment , is a version of a pretty French comedy , "Les Petlts Olscau.\ , " which has been Introduced to American audiences by John Hare , with an other dramatization called "A Pair ot Spec tacles " In Mr. Hare's version the two brothers exchange spectacles and each sees the world , for a time , through the other's glasses. "Old Innocence" effects a similar transformation without any such apparent symbol and by a not Illogical use of natural emotions : and the kind , , loving and Innocent old man Is led by one glimpse of human duplicity to assume the attributes of blttcr nn n Innlntlnv nnrl Rllhntntnll. Mr. ' work , in the character of Jason Green , Is unquestionably the best ho has ever shown here. His Impersonation U In no sense a copy of Mr. Hare's , although It Is strongly iu the manner of Sol Smith Russell , who has never plajed this part. Mr. Murphy Is still an Imitator , as the last If not the first part of his program shows ; but orlglnalltj cannot bo denied to the creator of Maverick Brander. The contrasting natures ot the two brothers make the play ot "Old Inno cence ; " the hard-hearted but ultimate ! } boftencd Flint is well , though somewhat too boisterously depleted by .Mr. Richard Ljle Mr. Frank Coltmon plajs the down-trodden son with commendable restialnt and Mr. GrlHln pleases as the negro servant. Miss Sherrod has disappointingly little to do be yond showing her Titian hair and her snowy shoulders and a number of prett > gowns. Mr. Murphy forestalls suggestions as tea a change In his name by proclaiming , In hla speeches before the curtain , that he means to effect ono sometime. Citing the cise ot John T. Raymond , who was born O'Brien , of William J. Florence , nco Conlln , nnd of Lawrence Barrett , whose father's name was said by the tragedian not to have been Brannlgan , ho draws therefrom encourage ment for Murphy. He means , as he told his audience last night , to keep coming to Omaha until he gets a stuffed house. Ho proclaims himself an American , although ot Irish parentage , and ho tells stories which ore always good - - ' well told , even If thev are not all quite new. He is a merry fel low , however , and a good actor , Who will be n better one some of these days , If he doesn't let his remarkable faculty of mimicry crowd out the higher qualities of the player's art. "Old Innocenco" and "Sir Hemy Hypno tized" are well worth seeing , at any rate , and are sure to make an } one laugh. It Is altogether likely that Mr. Murphy will give his Impersonation of William J. Bryan at one or more of the remaining perfoim- UllLlTi. ± UU UUtiata'U'l'Ul UiUBl. J CULUlUvlJT night.
