NATURE OF HABEAS CORPUS IS INVOLVED ( lUt'NtInhl n to the iiite for the Writ' , , Jlenrlng I , UUIPIC(1 nnil the Court VnntN (0 hear . .tnIa.rltlea. l'reBIilerlt Holmes and Superintendent Qut- . % , ey of the Nebrakn Children's home So- ckty are still enjoying their liberty.VIICU ' the contempt matter In the DodO habeas corpus case against them came up for float acttofl , the final action being the eIgtIng of the order by Judge Scott for thek ftncs and Imprisonment , the Judge said he would prefer - for to hear arguments and authorities as to : his jtlrtSIfCtIQfl ( first , and suggested that the matter be contintiod a week for that pur- posts. Mr. Montgomery saul ho was quite satIfled as to the question of jurisdiction. Judge Scott , however , was not , antt a con- tinuanca was then Insisted upon by Mr. Montgomery until the 1&th Inst. Under the circumstances , no motion for a new trial could be yet. offered as a preliminary to an apcn1 to the supreme court. The position taken by Attorney Churchill In behalf of the Dodda Is that a writ of habeas corpus Is a writ of right and is not discretionary with the Itidgo ; that Under - dor the statute ho must immediately order the Issuance of one on application , and has full authority and power to hear It at any tinie in chambers , not as a court hut as a judge. On the other hand , Mr. Montgomery contends that by a rule of the court oil criminal matters have been assigned - signed to Judge Slabaugh , and therefore the habeas corpus matter , naturally coming under that head , should have been made returnable to him. Against this the counsel for the plaintiffs argue that the jurisdiction of a Judge cannot - not ho limited or modified , or in any way defled by a rule of the court , the rule being merely In the nature of an agreement and not calculated to Interfere with the mandatory - datory duties of any judge. The language ( if the statute Is that the judge "must im- mediately's order the writ to issue. Another contention of Mr. Montgomery Is , - th'zt the original writ. of habeas corpus was I Issued during term time and cannot be heard ) until the next term. OffsettIng this Is the action of the Judge setting aside that writ because. instead of any writ having been issued It was the order of the judge for a writ which was served , no writ In proper form having been made out by the clerk of the district court. All the acts incidental thereto were accordingly made void. Aiirner i& the Sigit Case. An answer to tbo petition flied of the new suit of the R. J. Gunning company against hlvcrick & Co. for damages for preventIng the plaintiff from painting a big tobacco sign on the east wall of 1206 Douglas street : has been flied in the county court. The answer sets up that the matter is now pending - ing before the supreme court on appeal , and that the district court had enjoined the plaintiff from so using the vaht. Samuel I. Rogers , who gave the plaintiff the right to paint the sign claimed the wall was a party One under an agreement In 1882 between John McCreary. owner of the west one-third of the property , and himself , as owner of the cast two-thirds. The Gunning contract 'rca made in May , 18t3. and judgment wa rendered by the district. court In the plain- tiff's aver in Juno , 189 , for $600 , from which the defendants appealed.

Island of Porto Rico , /ttlg. 1.- ( Via St. Thomas , D. W. 1 , , Aug. 2.-The Parto Ricans of l'once lined the streets by the hdndreds and filled the air wIth cheering on the arrival of General Garretson's brIgade from Ynuco. The arrival of these troops antI thote on the St. Louis makes the fighting Strength of the Americans now operating near I'onco about 0,000 men , equal to the eotire force jf Spanish reg'uiar troops In the island. General Garretson's camp Is temporarily nrar the Second and Third Wisconsin - consin regiments on the outskirts of the town. The brigade marched seventeen miles from Yauco to Ausby. where they arrived travel-stained and mud-bespattered. Almost the entire populatIon saw the troops pass through the City and gave them cheer after cheer , particularly as the artillerymen lutu- bored by. The omcers at. the front , includIng - Ing Holing's i'ennsyivanians and Captains Austin , Wheelock , Burns anti 11am , corn- manding the four advance companies , do not ; believe the Spaniards wilt make an ad- Vance. They believe the enemy will act only on the defensive. There was some firing last night between Captain AustIn's pickets and the Spaniards in the brush , hut no damage was done. All the American troops are restless at false alarms of the approach of the Spanish , and they are anxious for an encounter with the enenty. It is the general belief , ' however , that there will be no forward movement of the main body of our troops until the other transports arrive. They are expected every hour. The troops on board the St. Louis are reported - ported to be In good health. It brought twelve representatives of the Porto Rican junta of New York , whose business is to influence the people of the island not to l'eBiSt the American advance. Their good emces are not necessary. The Dixie's shot at Morro castle on Saturday caused the Utmost - most consternation at San Juan de Porto Rico , where it was believed to have signified that the place would be bombarded within twenty-four hours. ILLINOIS REGIMENT STARTS. Counterinnndliig of Orders Not Ri- jiecteil 'I'IIIM 'Iliac. CHICKAMAUGA PARK , Aug. 3.-Tue Fifth Illinois infantry , after numerous - ous disappointments. flnalli got away toward the scone of action today. At 4:30 : o'clock this morning the regiment broke camp and marched nine miles to Ringgold , Ga. , where trains were In waitIng to convey it to Newport News. The loading was dobe rapidly and before noon the last of the trains had pulled out. Colonel Culver , the commander , will report to Brigadier General Fred Grant immediately - mediately upon hIs arrival , and the regi- meat will go with General Grant's detachment - mont to Porto Rico. The action of the War department in sending the Fifth Illinois to the front has caused much comment in the camp , The reason for this action is not stated here. The rivalry among the regiments here to be included in the next order to move Is becoming - coming highly interesting. The omccrs of each regiment are bringing all possible pressure to bear on the \Var department , and the officials will doubtless have much trouble in making their seiections Sena- tore , representatives nd others. who were supposed to have influence with the War de- partrnent are being coiled upon to help the regiments of their states , One regiment is Said to have sent out during the last twen- ty-four hours over 240 teiegrams , asking assistance to influence the War department. The continuous rain of the last ten days at Camp Thomas has resulted In a general desire to change camps , and the regiments are , as rapidly as they can got permission , movIng theIr camps to new locations. The dampness of the wooded territory has made the open fields look quite Inviting , and the result is that already a number of regiments have pitched their tents in the open fields and now have the full benefit of a generous sunshine. Many of the regiments that have not moved , and probably wIll not move at this time , have been spurred up by the rain to put their camps In better sanitary condi- tion. As a result , gravel walks will have been constructed , and , as near as it Is practicable - ticable , floors have been laId in the tents of the men. The soldiers of the camps are energetic , and will , if they remain In the park , be provided with many of the corn- forts common to American homes , A movement is now on foot to invite See- rotary ofVar Alger to visit Camp Thomas and tue Invitation wili likely be forwarded and strongly pressed during the next few days , Brigadier General J. 5 , Poland , who has been seriously ill for the last several weeks , has been token to Asheville , N. C , It is hoped he wil regain his health in a short time , and be able to resume command of the Second division , First army corps. It is not known who will be placed temporarily in command of the division , but. it is said that General McKee , brigade commander , will ho placed in charge. In this event Colonel Smith , commandIng the One Hundred - dred and FIfty-eighth Indiana , will command - mand General McKee's brigade , be being the senior colonel In the brigade. The sum of $1,600 has been appropriated for a new building for ordnance. The structure will be erected near the depot , and , it is said , the contract will soon be given out.

MUCH GOOD IS ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED Spain Learns a Lesson , Calm is Freei iiiiit the l'colmie llne Ihecit (1l'cii Sotitetlilag hlslde ltnrd Timmics to Talk Of. Dr. P. DeWitt Talmage , accompanied by Mrs. Talmage and his two daughters , arrived In Omaha Tuesday night and after visiting the exposition for two days leaves tonight for l3oulder , Cole. , where he will fill a Chau- tauqua engagement on Saturday. Dr. Tat- tango has been engaged most of the summer In flllling Chautauqua engagements throughout - out the east , but will rest. for a few weeks after leaving I3oulder anti travel with his family through the Yellowstone park and visit points of interest along the Pacific coast. In speaking of the war Dr. Talmage said "The coil is certainly near and I expect to hear of the peace treaty being negotiated before the end of the present week. Spain undertook the war to preserve the throne for the Present dynasty. Many of the Spaniards thought the United States a little power with no navy and no army. The war has enlightened the ignorant Spaniards and has been a blessing to the nation as a whole. Spanish diplomats see that to carry It on any further would be merely an international farce , which cannot possibly be of any benefit - efit to them , "The war has been another demonstra- lion of the invariable rule that no great advance In civilization has ever been made without the sword , Terrible as war is , it is beneficial in its results antI has been the Instrument of all true advances ? It is so both In religious and secular history , and , ci- though it is a deplorable timing that man has not arrived at a state of civilzation In which love of justice and the spirit of the common brotherhood of mankind Can take the place of warfare , yet it is an indisputable fact. Sonic Things Accomplished. "With the war have conic loss of life and bereavements which can never be atoned for , but there have also been many blessings , The freedom of Cuba , which was the chief nlrn of the war , Is assured. No country has ever previously achieved its freedom without - out bloodshed and Cuba could not come to its liberty in any other way. Porto Rico , which Is reputed to be one of the richest and most fruitful Islands in the world , will nrobablv be c&ded to the lTnltpI fnf , . . , i war Indemnity , together with Manila or some other coaling station In the Philip. pines. I do not. think it will be the policy of the administration to maintain the Phil- ippines. They are so far distant and are the home of a people who would make continual - tinual trouble. "But one of the greatest blessings I ee In the war is the turning of the minds of the people out of the hard times rut. For se\- eral years the papers have talked hard times , preachers have preached hard times and the result was a depression so general that noth- lag short of an earthquake could have done away with It. The war came and has afforded a topic which has diverted the public mind from the subject and there can be no ques- tlon but that prosperity Is with us again. I can see nothing but brightness ahead , "The war has been a series of moral vie- tories. The cause was a just one and the different movements of the Spanish navy seemed to have been made by some pray- idcutial hand. Cervera entered Santiago harbor - bor and gave our navy a chance to hem him In and work out his complete destruction. The SpaniBh fleet at Manila was taken off its guard and completely annihilated and nh with a miraculously small loss of life , The war has advanced the world another step toward perfection. This country is far in advance - vance of last century and I have no doubt that the advantage in the next 100 years will be greater than the present century has worked out. I firmly believe that the earth is being Edentzed and grows better every day. " Dr. Talmage says that the war has cx- erted a much greater influence along the AtlantIc coast than It has in the Interior , Although the coast was said to be well protected - tected , men who had extensive property in- terests in the coast cities were very u000m- fortable before the destruction of the Spanish fleets and even now do not care to leave home until peace is declared , Ilniplit Taken froiii Child's Stomach , CHICAGO , Aug. 3.-LIttle Frances Nelson - son , 1 year and 6 months old , daughter of 0. Nelson , a merchant of Schiesslngervllie , Wis. , while playing with a hatpin six and one-halt Inches long , a few days ago , in some manner managed to swallow it. The child was brought to this city , where prom- mont physicians gave it as their opinion that it was an impossibility for such a small child to swaliow a hatpin and live. But in order to satIsfy the parents they suggested that the X ray be utilized , The child was taken to a Roentgen laboratory , where a photograph of Its stomach was taken. There plainly enough was to be seen the missing article , The glass head was downward - ward and the action of the stomach In its work of digestion had kept it up to the top of that organ. The point extended up about four Inches in the aesophagus.

Company 0 received eight boxes from friends in Omaha , Saturday , the express charges on which aggregated $91 , Since the friends cho sent the luxuries were generous - erous enough to prepay the charges the boys of the company have no complaint to make. Private John V. Beacimly of Company 1 ? and Henry II. Storm , who were erroneously mustered in as acting hospital stewards , have been mache full hospital stewards , their appointments to date from May 10 and 11 , respectIvely. The regiment was entitled to three full stewards and these mea should have been so mustered In at first. Alfred M. Gereck , first sergeant of Corn- pany L , will be commissioned as seconl hloutenant to fill the vacancy occatoned by the promotion of Lieutenant Henry Allen to a position in the regular army , Lightning played a remarkable freak In the camp of the Second Nebraska late Friday night. There were no signs of a storm , but dim flashes of lightning were seen on either side of the camp. Suddenly there came a blinding flash , whIch struck a tree at the head of Company A street , beside the tent of Captain Soderguist. The tree was badly shattered , time lightning plowing Its way from the top to time bottom and tearing up the ground for some distance around the roots of the tree. The shock was very heavy and was felt throughout the camp. Corporal Enest Cupernell of Corn- iany A , whose home is in Omaha , was with CaptaIn Soderguist in his tent at the time the flash came. He was knocked fiat to time ground , being thrown partlaiiy out of the tent. For a minute or two the corporal was unconscious. The wonder Is he was not kiiled , The lightning - ning tore holes in the ground under his feet and blackened the Iron hinges on a chest in the tent. Part of the bark from the tree came down with such force as to tear holes in the stout canvas which formed the tent covering. Corporal Cupernell did not recover - cover from the shock for several hours. Captain Soderguist lay dozing upon his cot when the flash came. A poncho and a light mattress on which he lay probably saved his life , for the lightning struck the cot anti shattered Its legs. Lieutenant Roddy of Na- braska City , who occupied an adjoining tent , was knocked down by the shock and fell upon his face. Captain Soderguist was not hurt , but he received a sufficient shock to be thoroughly aroused and badly frightened. In his tent were about 3,000 rounds of car- tridgea stowed away in boxes. Fortunately not a cartridge was exploded , Captain Fisher of Company H , the affable lawyer who looks like Bryan and who is almost - most as fluent on the stump , has returned from Nebraska , where he spent two weeks on legal business. Immediately after the lightning freak be- tore mentioned one of the regimental mule teams ran away , upsetting the wagon. The wagon was loaded with bread and a portion of it WS thrown out. The oflicers and men of the Second Nebraska - braska have learned with pleasure that the Sixth United States volunteers , immune. , are to be brigaded with the Second Nebraska - braska , becoming part of the Second brigade - ade , First division , Third corps.
