LINCOLN , Feb. 18. ( Special. ) Besides
creating something of a sensation In official
circles at the state house , the decision of
the supreme court In the Eugene Moore
case Is bringing about a decided revolution
In the business methods of some of the
olllcce. This especially applies to the ofllco
of Auditor Cornell. When Mr. Cornell took
charge a llttlo over a year ago It was his.
opinion that a settlement of his accounts
nt the close of his term would bo sufficient
and that the fees which came Into his hands
could bo retained by him as long as ho de
sired , providing that they were turned Into
the treasury before or at the time of hla
flnal settlement. Some months later the
auditor was severely criticised by the news
papers because ho had In his hands several
thousand dollars which the public believed
ought to be In the state treasury. This
prompted the auditor to turn In the money ,
making payments about once a month , but
Bill ! having In his hands from $1,000 to $2,000
nil the tlmo , as shown by his semi-annual
titatomonts.
The auditor , Tiowover. has been mindful
of the criticisms and of the probable effect
of the decision of the court , and his prac
tice for the lost few months has been to
'turn ' over thp money as fast as It was re
ceived by him , and when the decision came
< lown ho had all the money out of Ills
hands. Mr , Cornell declines to bo Inter
viewed as to Ills Intentions for the future ,
not having fully decided on the plans for
the conduct of the department , but it Is
understood that ho has declared to other
olllclula of the Btnto house that ho will
hereafter absolutely refuse to accept any
jnoney from Insurance companies or other
sources for the payment of fees , hut wll !
rcqulro them to take the money to the statu
treasurer anil obtain his receipt therefor
before any service Is performed.
The secretary of state lias always made
U n practice to turn In the money to the
trcnEiirer us fast as an amount reaching
about $100 had accumulated. Mr. Porter
rxilil today that the money had always been
turned In before the service wns performed ,
the otllce hlng three or four days behind
time In the * Issuance of certificates in most
rases , and that the money was In the treas
ury before the certificates were Issued. Ho
did not think any change would be made
In the method of conducting his office.
MOOUK FKKLS ailATKFUL.
Eugene Moore was Interviewed regarding
the decision this morning. Ho said that ho
desired to extend hU heartfelt thanks to
tlii > friends who had stood by him or wtio
had had kind word * for him during his
trouble. Ho said that he had felt confident
all the time that his position would bo sus
tained by thn court , but that the uflatr had
troubled htm greatly , and that not Ido least
ol' MM trouble wui the adverse position taken
by some who had formerly posed as his
frioral.i , and some of whom had dcdvcd bene
fits from him. In regard to the shortage
charged npnlim him the ox-auditor said ( hat
It was not lib wish or Intention that either
tdo state or any Individual should suffer
liny financial loss from any act of his , and
tiki i whenever ho waa able to do eo ho would
inalio coed every cent that waa alleged to
be due from him. In thin ho reiterated thn
statement nude by him In district court
at the time the aentenco was Imposed on
Mm.
Mm.This
This morning In district court the jury In
the case of Harry UliJontleevo against the
Lincoln Cooperage company returned a ver
dict Budlug for tbe plaintiff and
his damages at $50. The Lincoln Cooperage
company Is one of the firms which contract
with the state for prison labor. The case
was an action wherein Ollderslecve sued the
company for $2,000 damages and $80 addi
tional for doctors' fees , all on account of in
juries which he received while a guard at
the penitentiary. Ho averred In his petition
that a fly wheel broke and that he was
struck with the fragments of Iron. The Lin
coln Cooperage company set up that the state
was operating the power which ran the ma
chinery and that the shafting had been put
up In a defective manner.
The funeral of Fred Fluke , ono of Lin
coln's oldest residents , who died Wednesday
evening , aged 80 , was held this afternoon
from the family residence , 2727 O street.
The Lincoln term of the federal court Is
practically over. There are a few equity
cases yet to bo tried , but no more Jury trials
will bo commenced at this term of court.
The jury has been dismissed.
The Lincoln Ministerial association , which
comprises forty-three clergymen of this city ,
adopted resolutions against the opening of
the Transmlsslsalppl Exposition on Sunday.
It was decided to urge religious organiza
tions of the state to take similar action.

I added Interest is taken In the catastrophe
owing to the fact that Darwin I' . Merrltt ,
| assistant engineer of the Ill-fated ship and
one of the two officers lost , has relatives
; living here. He was a nephew of Mr. and
i Mrs. Kletch Whltcomb and was also well
I known to several other York residents who
1 formerly lived at lied Oak , la. , the young
] man's home. In a letter which Merrltt
| wrote to his father Just as the Maine had
arrived at Havana ho speaks of the Maine's
I entrance to the harbor and says that the
I ship sailed Into port with guns In giod trim
' and the decks half way cleared for action.
Cartridge belts were filled and the Impres
sion seemed to prevail that trouble was ex
pected and that "we'll have to lick Spain
before the thing Is over. " Ho writes of the
riots which preceded their arrival and says
that another version of the riots Is that
they were Instigated by Cuban sympathizers
who hope to get the Spaniards embroiled
and thus forcing a war with Spain.

LINCOLN , Fob. 18. ( Special Telegram. )
The supreme court on yesterday made an
application of the rule that an act ot the
legislature amendatory of a section of an
existing act must set out and repeal the orig
inal section to criminal legislation that Is
apt to cause some Interest among lawyers.
I The case was that of Jonas Heynolds , con
victed In Hall county for receiving stolen
goods. Heynolds was , until the order ot the
court released him today , In the penitentiary.
The court holds that as the act of the legis
lature of 1S75 , which attempted to amend
the original section of the criminal code re
lating to this offense , was not In accordance
with the rule above that It Is void and the
original section is In force. This amenda
tory act of 187f attempted to amend forty-
onu sections of the criminal co'lo , and all of
those arc In the same condition.

The bids submltte-1 'two weeks ago for pro-
vldinc the city with street sweeping ma
chines were considered by the Hoard of Pub
lic Works yesterday and It was decided to
recommend to the Advisory Board that the
Cyclone sweeper be leased for thirty days
on trial. The analysis of the bids prepared
by City Engineer nosewatcr showed that
thcro was very llttlo difference In the cost
of the various machines. The Cyclone
sweeper was offered for $10 a day. This In
cludes 'the gutter sweeper as well as the
men and teams and hauling away the sweep
ings. It Is guaranteed to sweep 200,000 yards
of pavement in a- day , or about six miles of
sixty-foot streets , making the entire cost of
sweeping about $7 a mile as compared with
$17.99 which was paid for the Stephcnson
machines a couple of years ago. Some of
the other bidders offered to furnish machines
for less money , but as they required the
city to haul nivay the sweepings and clean
out the gutters and Inlets , the total cost
figured about the same as the Cyclone ma
chine ,
Th" principal point In favor of the ma
chine selected Is the fact that the bidders
guaranteed to clean the streets as scon as
Uio frost is out of the ground and to take
the pavements just aa they find them. None
of the other bidders pretended that their ma-
chlne-s would do the first sweeping. The
Cyclone people say they are willing to guar
antee that their machines will clean satisfac
torily at least three inllf-s a day the fir Ft
cleaning , and six miles thereafter , and the
board considers this the most advantageous
offer. Under this proposition the city can
clean ten miles of streets dally for ISO days
for $12,000 , leaving $9,000 to bo used In cleanIng -
Ing the buburban streets. In cane the ma
chines are satisfactory , the company offers
to sell now ones to the city for $2,500 each ,
Including the gutter Bwccpcrs , and the thirty
days trial Is with n view to the purchase
of the machines by the pity If they are found
to do the work satisfactorily ,

AMUSEMENTS.
"The Dead Heart , " which James O'Neill
presented last night at dloyd's. has been
seldom seen of the present generation of
theater-goers , The elder of the old tlmerH
remember a production years ago , with Ed
win Adams aa Landry , Henry Irving put It
on in London not 83 very long slnco and
Jai.neo O'Neill revived It In this country at
iviout the feamo time ; but the play , so far as
may bo learned from Htatlntiea at hand , had
nrvrr been seen In Omaha until last night
Too somber for general acceptation In this
ago of light amusements , and inirollevcU
by any humor save the low comedy of two
mlr.nr characters , the old drama gives 'Mr. '
O'Neill exceptional opportunities for power
ful effects , which he Improves like the real
artist ho unquestionably Is. "Tho Dead
Heart" U off the name piece of rather stllf
cloth as "Monte Crlato , " In that It concerns
the adventurer of a hero who Is unjustly
Imprisoned for years , wlloso afllanced wife
marries meanwhile ono of the conspirators
against his liberty , and In whoso ibosom the
in I lie nt human kindness turns during his
long confinement in tlio bastllo to gall and
wormwood. Ills heart Is dead , very much as
IMmonJ Dantes' heart purinhed in the
Chateau < l'If. Landry oven hills his enemy
In a due ] , , is the very bolvmit count slow
Douglas ; only , in place of saying to Latour
In a farce-comedy voice , "you're going to
dip , " CItl/cn Landry dispatches film grimly
and \\ltli duo regard to the proprieties. Mr.
O'Neill , In this role , docs the most satisfying
work olio has ever srcn him accomplish.
Particularly In the Hcene of the rescue from
the bastlla Is his performance a notable one.
The decrepitude of mind and body , the
gllmmeriiigd of returning memory , and
finally the recovered consclousniHs of the
present and the past , are admirably de
pleted , and the character Is drawn with firm
ness , de-llcacy and a Iilgh degree of fidelity
throughout.
Miss Emily 'Dodd. the 'Merculcs ' of "Monte
Crlato , " has also her momenu of real , con
vincing power. Her appeals to Landry for
her son , first In the Cafu Jocrlsso and again
at the foot oC the guillotine , struck a vibrat
ing emotional note. Mr. Thompson fills 'the
full measure of the part of Latour and em
phasizes Ills claim to bo one of the moat
capable of leading men. The comedian , Mr.
Dlxon , strives diligently , and with noino de
gree of success , to lighten the couxlstcnt
gloom of the play with the antics of the halr-
droiiBer , Touptt. The remainder of the cast
U generally adequate. The piece IB well put
